2665 GENEVA: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for April 27
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 17 will convene a meeting of creditors
in 2665 GENEVA, LLC's Chapter 11 case on April 27, 2010, at 9:00
a.m.  The meeting will be held at the Office of the U.S. Trustee,
235 Pine Street, Suite 700, San Francisco, CA 94104.

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

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

San Francisco, California-based 2665 GENEVA, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 18, 2010 (Bankr. N.D.
Calif. Case No. 10-30951).  Jay T. Jambeck, Esq., at The Schinner
Law Group, assists the Company in its restructuring effort.  The
Company estimated its assets and debts at $10,000,001 to
$50,000,000.


4KINDS ENTERTAINMENT: Gets Notice on NYSE Listing Standard
----------------------------------------------------------
4Kids Entertainment, Inc., has been notified by NYSE Regulation,
Inc., that it is not in compliance with one of the continued
listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

4Kids is considered below criteria for the continued listing
standards because over a 30 trading-day period its total market
capitalization was less than $50 million and its most recently
reported stockholders' equity was $35.1 million, below the minimum
threshold of $50 million.  The NYSE has informed 4Kids that it is
prepared to proceed with its normal business plan procedures, and
4Kids intends to submit a plan to the NYSE within the required 45-
day period demonstrating how it plans to comply with the NYSE's
continued listing standards.

If, over a 30 trading-day period, 4Kids' average market
capitalization falls below the $15 million minimum threshold, the
plan and cure process otherwise available under NYSE rules would
be pre-empted and suspension and delisting procedures would be
initiated.  As of March 25, 2010, the Company's 30 trading-day
average market capitalization was approximately $17.3 million,
with the absolute market capitalization on March 25, 2010 of
approximately $15.2 million. In addition, if, over a 30 trading-
day period, the average closing price of a share of 4Kids' common
stock is less than $1.00, 4Kids must bring its share price back
above $1.00 within six months of receiving notification from NYSE.

against Access Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s ability as a going concern.
The firm reported that the Company has had recurring losses from
operations, negative cash flows from operating activities and has
an accumulated deficit.

The Company's balance sheet showed $1,583,000 in total assets and
$28,572,000 in total liabilities for a $26,989,000 total
stockholders' deficit.

The Company reported a $17,340,000 net loss on $352,000 of total
revenues for December 31, 2009, compared with a $31,431,000 net
loss on $291,000 of total revenues for December 31, 2008.

A full-text copy of the Company's Form 10-K is available for free
at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?5c1b

company focused on developing a range of pharmaceutical products
primarily based upon the Company's nanopolymer chemistry

AFFINION GROUP: Bank Debt Trades at 1% Off in Secondary Market
--------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Affinion Group,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 98.85 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.15
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 250 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on March 1, 2012, and carries
Moody's Ba2 rating and Standard & Poor's BB rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 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 June 3, 2009,
Moody's assigned a B2 rating to $125 million principal amount of
proposed senior unsecured notes of Affinion Group, Inc., and
affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating and SGL-1 speculative
grade liquidity rating.  The proceeds of the $125 million note
offering are expected to be used for general corporate purposes
which may include debt buybacks and acquisitions.  Moody's also
affirmed the Ba2 rating on the senior secured credit facility and
the B2 rating on $304 million of existing senior notes.  Moody's
lowered the rating on the senior subordinated notes due 2015 to
Caa1 from B3 because of higher levels of senior debt in the
capital structure pro forma for the pending senior note issuance.

Affinion is a leading provider of marketing services and loyalty
programs to many of the largest financial service companies
globally.  The company provides credit monitoring and identity-
theft resolution, accidental death and dismemberment insurance,
discount travel services, loyalty programs, various checking
account and credit card enhancement services.  Apollo Management
V, L.P., owns 97% of Affinion's common stock.


AFFINION GROUP: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Rating on $1 Billion Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 rating to a proposed
$1 billion secured credit facility of Affinion Group, Inc.,
lowered the rating on the senior unsecured notes to B3 from B2,
and affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating and SGL-1 speculative
grade liquidity rating.

The proceeds from an $875 million secured term loan facility are
expected to be used to refinance the existing secured term loan
facility, pay related fees and expenses, and initially increase
balance sheet cash.  Pro forma for the refinancing at December 31,
2009, the unrestricted cash balance would be approximately
$271 million.  Moody's expects Affinion to use a significant
portion of such cash balance for either acquisitions or junior
debt repayments during 2010.  A new $125 million revolving credit
facility is expected to be largely undrawn at closing.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects modestly weak financial
strength metrics for the rating category, declining member counts
in the North American membership and supplemental insured product
lines, and the risk that a difficult economic environment could
continue to pressure consumer response rates to the company's
product offerings.  The ratings are supported by the company's
large member base, direct marketing expertise, track record of
steady financial performance and growth opportunities in
international markets.

The one notch downgrade of the senior unsecured notes of Affinion
to B3 from B2 reflects the increase in the proportion of the
capital structure comprised of senior secured debt.  The senior
unsecured notes are effectively subordinated to the secured debt.

Moody's took these rating actions:

Affinion Group, Inc.

  -- Assigned $125 million 5 year senior secured revolver, Ba2
     (LGD 2, 18%)

  -- Assigned $875 million 6 year senior secured term loan, Ba2
     (to LGD 2, 18%)

  -- Downgraded $454 million senior unsecured notes due 2013, to
     B3 (LGD 4, 60%) from B2 (LGD 4, 53%)

  -- Affirmed $356 million senior subordinated notes due 2015,
     Caa1 (to LGD 5, 82% from LGD 5, 79%)

  -- Affirmed $100 million senior secured revolver due 2011, Ba2
     LGD 2, 14%) - rating to be withdrawn upon completion of the
     proposed refinancing

  -- Affirmed $649 million senior secured term loan due 2012, Ba2
     (LGD 2, 14%)- rating to be withdrawn upon completion of the
     proposed refinancing

Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.

  -- Affirmed $281 million senior unsecured term loan due 2012,
     Caa1 (to LGD 6, 93% from LGD 6, 92%)

  -- Affirmed Corporate Family Rating, B2

  -- Affirmed Probability of Default Rating, B2

  -- Affirmed Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-1

The last rating action on Affinion was on June 1, 2009 when
Moody's assigned a B2 rating to $125 million of proposed senior
unsecured notes and affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating and
SGL-1 speculative grade liquidity rating.

Affinion is a leading provider of marketing services and loyalty
programs to many leading firms globally.  The company provides
credit monitoring and identity-theft resolution, accidental death
and dismemberment insurance, discount travel services, loyalty
programs, various checking account and credit card enhancement
services.  Apollo Management V, L.P., owns 97% of Affinion's
common stock.

----------------------------------------------------------

high leverage and AirTran's exposure to cyclical risks in the
airline industry.

AMBAC ASSURANCE: S&P Changes Counterparty Credit Rating to 'R'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
counterparty credit, financial strength, and financial enhancement
ratings on Ambac Assurance Corp. to 'R' from 'CC'.

"S&P took this action following a directive by the Commissioner of
Insurance of the State of Wisconsin," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst David Veno.  The directive is for Ambac to
establish a segregated account for certain insured exposure,
primarily policies related to credit derivatives, residential
mortgage-backed securities, and other structured finance
transactions.  It is S&P's understanding that a plan for
rehabilitation of the segregated account calls for cessation of
claim payments on this exposure.

It is S&P's view that the regulatory directive with respect to the
segregated account indicates a level of regulatory intervention at
Ambac that is consistent with an 'R' rating.  S&P believes that
such a move will lead to concern that it favors one class of
policyholders over another.

AMERICAN INT'L: Plueger to Retire; Lund Becomes Interim CEO
-----------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc., and International Lease
Finance Corporation said Friday that John Plueger will retire,
effective immediately.

Mr. Plueger assumed the CEO position on February 5, when then-ILFC
director and CEO Steven F. Udvar-Hazy announced his retirement.

"On behalf of AIG, I would like to thank John for his tireless
service to ILFC," said Robert H. Benmosche, AIG President and
Chief Executive Officer.

Douglas M. Steenland, non-executive Chairman of the ILFC Board of
Directors, said, "We are grateful for the work John has done to
continue ILFC's leadership in the industry."

ILFC Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer Alan Lund will
succeed Mr. Plueger as ILFC's interim President and Chief
Executive Officer, and Mr. Benmosche said that AIG expects a
smooth transition as AIG conducts a search for a permanent
successor.  In addition, ILFC Senior Vice President-Finance Fred
Cromer will succeed Mr. Lund as ILFC CFO.

Mr. Lund has worked at ILFC for 28 years, the entire time as CFO,
and has served as Vice Chairman and CFO since 2002. Prior to
joining ILFC, Mr. Lund worked for the company currently known as
Deloitte & Touche as an Audit Manager and for California-World
Financial Corporation as Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer.  Mr. Lund graduated from Whittier College in 1971 with a
B.A. in Business Administration. He became a Certified Public
Accountant, State of California, in 1973.

Prior to joining ILFC in July 2008, Mr. Cromer spent 17 years in
various airline finance and planning positions at ExpressJet
Airlines, Continental Airlines, and Northwest Airlines. Most
recently, he served as Vice President and CFO of ExpressJet
Airlines. Mr. Cromer received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from
the University of Michigan and a Master of Business Administration
in Finance from DePaul University.

"ILFC and AIG are confident in the long term potential of ILFC as
a leader in its marketplace," Mr. Benmosche said.  "Recently, ILFC
raised $1.3 billion in secured term loans and $2 billion in senior
unsecured notes, reflecting the strength of its underlying
business. ILFC anticipates selling a limited number of aircraft in
the future in addition to issuing incremental debt as needed."

The Wall Street Journal's Joann S. Lublin and Serena Ng, and Dow
Jones Newswires' Doug Cameron report that federal pay restrictions
played a role in the surprise departure of Mr. Plueger, according
to people familiar with the matter.  These people, however, said
AIG expects to have little difficulty in filling the post, with
likely candidates coming from smaller rivals to its unit.

The sources said Mr. Plueger's retirement caught associates and
AIG insiders off guard.  The report says Mr. Plueger's decision
came shortly after U.S. pay czar Kenneth Feinberg announced 2010
pay determinations for top employees at AIG and other companies
that have received large amounts of U.S. aid.

Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.  On
September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank created an
$85 billion credit facility to enable AIG to meet increased
collateral obligations consequent to the ratings downgrade, in
exchange for the issuance of a stock warrant to the Fed for 79.9%
of the equity of AIG.  The credit facility was eventually
increased to as much as $182.5 billion.

down loans received from the U.S. government, and continues to

AMERISTAR CASINOS: Moody's Withdraws Rating on $150 Mil. Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the rating on Ameristar
Casinos, Inc.'s $150 million senior secured revolving credit
facility that expires in November 2010 because of business
reasons.  Moody's does not rate Ameristar's $600 million revolving
credit facility that expires in August 2012.

Moody's affirmed Ameristar's Ba3 Corporate Family and Probability
of Default ratings along with its Ba2 senior secured term loan and
B2 senior unsecured note ratings.  The company's SGL-2 Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating was also affirmed.  The rating outlook is
stable.

Ameristar's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
very profitable operation relative to its peers, and positive free
cash flow profile despite weak U.S. gaming industry fundamentals.
Key concerns include Ameristar's moderate cash flow
diversification and Moody's current expectation that business
fundamentals for the sector will continue to weaken through 2010
and possibly 2011.

The stable rating outlook anticipates that Ameristar will be able
to boost its free cash flow and reduce leverage despite weak
demand conditions.  These factors along with Ameristar's good
liquidity should make it possible for the company to achieve and
sustain debt/EBITDA at below 5 times -- the target leverage level
needed for the company to maintain its current rating.
Debt/EBITDA for the period ended Dec. 31, 2009, was about 5.2
times.

Rating withdrawn:

  -- $150 million senior secured revolver credit facility expiring
     November 2010 at Ba2 (LGD 3, 34%)

Ratings affirmed and LGD assessments revised:

  -- Corporate Family Rating at Ba3

  -- Probability of Default Rating at Ba3

  -- $388 million term loan B due 2012 at Ba2 (LGD 3, to 30% from
     34%)

  -- $650 million 9 ¬% senior unsecured notes due 2014 at B2 (LGD
     5, to 84% from 87%)

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating at SGL-2

The last rating action for Ameristar occurred on May 21, 2009,
when Moody's commented that the company's Ba3 Corporate Family
Rating, long-term debt ratings, and stable outlook were not
affected by an increase in a senior note issuance to $650 million
from $500 million.

Ameristar Casinos, Inc., owns and operates eight hotel/casinos
in six jurisdictions.  The company generates approximately
$1.2 billion of consolidated net revenues.

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

BLUEKNIGHT ENERGY: Posts Restated Net Loss of $4.4MM for Q3
-----------------------------------------------------------
On March 26, 2010, Blueknight Energy Partners, L.P., formerly
SemGroup Energy Partners, L.P., filed an amendment to its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, which was originally filed on November 13,
2009.  The Partnership restated its consolidated financial
statements for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009, to record additional interest expense of
$1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine month
periods, respectively.

The Partnership reported a net loss, as restated, of $4.4 million
on $40.0 million of revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared with a net loss of $11.9 million on
$53.8 million of revenue for the same period of 2008.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2009, as restated,
showed 316.8 million in assets and $453.4 million of debts, for a
stockholders' deficit of $136.5 million.

In its amended quarterly report, the Partnership relates that
prior to consummating the April 7, 2009 settlement with its former
parent company, SemGroup, L.P., events of default existed under
the Partnership's credit facility.  The Partnership says that due
to the events surrounding the bankruptcy of SemGroup, L.P.,
including decreased revenues in its crude oil gathering and
transportation and asphalt services segments, increased general
and administrative expenses related to legal and financial
advisors as well as other related costs, and uncertainties related
to securities and other litigation, it continues to face
uncertainties with respect to its ability to comply with covenants
under its credit facility.  "These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern."

BUCYRUS COMMUNITY: Court Extends Schedules Filing Until May 3
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Russ Kendig of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio extended, at the behest of Bucyrus Community
Hospital, Inc., et al., the deadline for the filing of schedules
of assets and liabilities, statements of financial affairs, a
schedule of current income and expenditures, statements of
executory contracts and unexpired leases, and lists of equity
security holders for an additional 30 days until May 3, 2010.

The Debtors estimated that they have more than 800 creditors or
other interested parties.  The Debtors said that given the size
and complexity of their businesses and the fact that certain
prepetition invoices have not yet been received and/or entered
into their financial systems, they have not had the opportunity to
gather the necessary information to prepare and file their
respective schedules and statements.

Bucyrus, Ohio-based Bucyrus Community Hospital, Inc., filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 19, 2010 (Bankr. N.D.
Ohio Case No. 10-61078).  Melissa Asbrock, Esq., and Shawn M.
Riley, Esq., at McDonald Hopkins LLC, assist the Company in its
restructuring effort.  The Company estimated its assets and debts
at $10,000,001 to $50,000,000.

The Company's affiliate, Bucyrus Community Physicians, Inc., filed
a separate Chapter 11 petition (Case No. 10-61081) on March 19,
2010, estimating its assets and debts at $500,000 to $1 million.


BUCYRUS COMMUNITY: Gets Court's Nod to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------
Bucyrus Community Hospital, Inc. and its debtor-affiliates sought
and obtained interim authorization from the Hon. Russ Kendig of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio to use
cash collateral securing their obligation to their prepetition
lenders.

The Debtors believe that Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company has a
first priority and only security interest in substantially all of
Bucyrus Community's assets, including accounts receivable and the
proceeds thereof.  The United Bank, Division of the Park National
Bank, and the First Federal Community Bank also purport to hold
security interests in certain assets of each of the Debtors,
including cash collateral.  The Debtors believe that the security
interests of United are unperfected and that the security
interests of FFCB don't cover cash collateral.

Shawn M. Riley, Esq., at McDonald Hopkins LLC, the attorney for
the Debtors, explained that the Debtors need the money to fund
their Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.  The
Debtors will use the collateral pursuant to a budget, a copy of
which is available for free at:

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

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtors propose to
grant the prepetition lenders replacement liens.  The Debtors will
also provide the prepetition lenders regular reporting.

The Court has set a final meeting for April 5, 2010, at 2:00 p.m.,
on the Debtor's request to use cash collateral.

BURLINGTON COAT: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Burlington Coat
Factory Warehouse Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary
market at 95.30 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday,
March 26, 2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp.
and reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an
increase of 2.69 percentage points from the previous week, The
Journal relates.  The Company pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 28, 2013,
and carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.
The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp. operates stores in 44
states and Puerto Rico, which sell apparel, shoes and accessories
for men, women and children.  A majority of the stores offer a
home furnishing and linens department and a juvenile furniture
department.  As of Sept. 4, 2009, the Company operates 433 stores
under the names "Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse" (415 stores),
"MJM Designer Shoes" (15 stores), "Cohoes Fashions" (two stores),
and "Super Baby Depot" (one store) in 44 states and Puerto Rico.

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Jan. 29, 2010, Moody's
affirmed Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp.'s ratings
including its B3 Corporate Family Rating and its SGL-3 Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating.  The rating outlook is stable.  The
affirmation of Burlington Coat's rating and outlook is in response
to the company's announcement that it completed an amendment to
its asset based revolving credit facility that extends the
expiration date of $600 million of the total facility to February
2014 from May 2011.

As reported by the TCR on June 29, 2009, Fitch Ratings affirmed
its Issuer Default Rating at 'B-'; US$800 million asset-based
revolver rating at 'B+/RR1'; US$900 million term loan rating at
'B/RR3', on Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp.  Fitch revised
these ratings to reflect the new issue rating definitions as of
March 2009 -- US$305 million senior unsecured notes revised to
'CC/RR6' from 'CCC/RR6'; US$99 million senior discount notes
revised to 'C/RR6' from 'CCC-/RR6'.


BUSHNELL REGENCY: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
------------------------------------------------------------
Greg Bordonaro at Hartford Business reports that Bushnell Regency
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy more than a year after it ceased
payments to Well Fargo Co. on majority of the condominium units at
downtown Hartford's Bushnell on the Park.

Bushnell Regency listed $8.8 million in assets and $10.7 million
in liabilities.  Bushnell Regency owns 129 condominium units
within the 180-unit complex at 100 Wells St., which it uses for
rental apartments and office space.  The Company said it had until
March 26, 2010, pay $9.8 million to Wells Fargo to reclaim the
property.

According to Hartford Business, Bushnell Regency has been facing a
host of legal problems over the last year.  It started in April,
when the Company's property sank into foreclosure, after it failed
to make mortgage payments since November 2008.

Thomas Farrell, Esq., represents Bushnell Regency.


CAL INVESTMENTS: U.S. Trustee Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sara L. Kistler, Acting United States Trustee for Region 17, asks
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
to convert the Chapter 11 case of Cal Investments, Inc., to
Chapter 7 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b).

The U.S. Trustee states the Debtor has failed to timely provide
relevant information that has been reasonably requested by the
U.S. Trustee.  This conduct constitutes cause for conversion, the
U.S. Trustee contends.

Specifically, the U.S. Trustee explains that the Debtor has still
failed to provide an accounting of notes receivable totaling
$120,000.  The U.S. Trustee wants the Debtor to provide the date
that the funds were received and an accounting of the disposition
of the funds and the timing of the disposition.

The Debtor had included the notes receivable on its 2008 tax
return but had not listed the notes receivable as estate assets on
Schedule B.  The U.S. Trustee relates that the Debtor, through its
counsel, acknowledged that the Debtor received the funds at some
point in 2009 prior to the bankruptcy filing.

According to the U.S. Trustee, since the amount of money involved
is substantial, its request for information and an accounting is
reasonable.

The U.S. Trustee's request is scheduled for hearing on April 14,
2010, at 10:30 a.m.

Soquel, California-based Cal Investments, Inc., filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on October 30, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Calif.
Case No. 09-59405).  Scott J. Sagaria, Esq., and Patrick Calhoun,
Esq., at the Law Offices of Scott J. Sagaria assist the Company in
its restructuring efforts.  According to the Debtors' schedules of
assets and debts, the Company has assets of at least $13,957,842,
and total debts of $22,913,609.


CHARTER COMMS: Investor Cries Foul on Ch. 11 Deal With Allen
------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that an investor has urged a federal
judge to overturn the confirmation of Charter Communications
Inc.'s reorganization plan, saying the company cut an unfair deal
by largely handing itself over to controlling shareholder and
Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul G. Allen while stiffing other
stockholders.

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Charter Communications, Inc. (Pink
OTC: CHTRQ) -- http://www.charter.com/-- is a broadband
communications company and the fourth-largest cable operator in
the United States.

Charter Communications and more than a hundred affiliates filed
voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on March 27, 2009 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 09-11435).  The Company listed $13.65 billion in assets
against debts of $24.5 billion as of the filing.  Attorneys at
Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York, served as bankruptcy counsel to
the Debtors.  In November 2009, Charter Communications emerged
from bankruptcy, after completing a financial restructuring that
reduced debt by $8 billion.


CHRYSLER GROUP: Offers Letters of Intent to 50 U.S. Dealers
-----------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to find a mutually beneficial resolution in
situations that make sense for the customer, the dealer and the
company, Chrysler Group LLC is offering Letters of Intent to 50
arbitrating dealers to join its dealer network as full-line
representatives.  These are dealers whose contracts were rejected
as a part of OldCarCo's bankruptcy proceedings last year.

The 50 dealers are in locations that offer customer service
benefits and will have limited adverse impact on the dealers
within our current network. Discussions to find mutually
beneficial alternatives to arbitration with other dealers are
under way.

The actions are in addition to the 36 Letters of Intent and/or
Sales and Service Agreements previously awarded to dealers whose
contracts had been rejected by OldCarCo.

                     About Chrysler Group LLC

                        About Chrysler LLC

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

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

CIB MARINE: Earns $13.7 Million in 2009; Going Concern Eliminated
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CIB Marine Bancshres, Inc., filed its annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009, showing net income of
$13.7 million on $15.5 million of net interest income for 2009,
compared with a net loss of $34.4 million on $21.6 million of net
interest income for 2008.  In 2009, the Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of $54.5 million resulting from the successful
completion of its pre-packaged plan of reorganization.

The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, showed
$709.9 million in assets, $625.2 million of debts, and
$84.7 million of stockholders' equity.  At December 31, 2009, the
Company had net loans of $454.4 million and total deposits of

reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin (Case No. 09-33318) under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code.  The primary reason for the filing was that CIB
Marine had been unable to bring current the roughly $43.5 million
of aggregate accrued interest payable on its Junior Subordinated
Debentures issued in conjunction with four tranches of trust
preferred securities ("TruPS") offerings by the Company between
March 2000 and September 2002.

Under the Plan, the TruPS holders exchanged $107.2 million of
cumulative high-interest Debentures, comprising $61.9 million
principal and $45.3 million of accrued interest, for shares of CIB
Marine Preferred valued at $51 million.

On October 29, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation
Order confirming the Plan.  On December 30, 2009, CIB Marine
emerged from Bankruptcy pursuant to the terms of the Confirmation
Order.

CITY OF VALLEJO: Reaches Agreement with IAFF on Labor Contract
--------------------------------------------------------------
A labor contract between the City of Vallejo and the International
Association of Firefighters was approved by the Vallejo City
Council on March 23, 2010.  This agreement reduces short and long-
term costs by maintaining many of the cost saving measures that
were imposed under the auspices of Chapter 9 bankruptcy and
additional reductions in pension and health costs. Additionally,
the agreement reduces the city's long term liability for unfunded
retiree health costs.  The contract also provides flexibility for
service delivery in the event of worsening City revenues.

Mayor Osby Davis expressed his satisfaction with the agreement,
"The City and the Firefighters have worked closely to come to an
agreement that helps deal with the Vallejo's financial
difficulties which are the same as those being faced by cities
throughout the State."

The new contract between the City and IAFF includes significant
reductions from the rejected IAFF contract compensation levels.
The average cost for Firefighter/Paramedic salaries and benefits
has been reduced by 23%.  A second tier retirement (2% @ 50) for
new employees has been put in place with existing employees
picking up an additional retirement contribution of 4.4% which
funds the difference in the normal between the current 3 % @50 and
the new plan.  An additional $1.3 million in cost reductions in
the amount needed to fund IAFF retiree medical benefits was
achieved.  The new retiree medical benefit also reduces the
actuarial value of the long-term liability by $21 million, from
$33 million to $11 million.  This negotiated agreement fixes the
City's going forward costs for IAFF until June 2012.

On May 23, 2008, the City filed a petition for protection under
the provisions of chapter 9 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code.
On June 17, 2008, the City filed a motion for approval of
rejection of its collective bargaining agreements with each of its
four labor groups: Vallejo Police Officers Association (VPOA);
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW);
Confidential Administrative, Managerial and Professional
Association (CAMP), and IAFF.  Prior to the hearing for the
consideration of the rejection of the agreements, the City reached
supplemental agreements with VPOA and CAMP.  On August 27, 2010,
the City and IAFF signed a stipulation that allowed the City to
reject the IAFF agreement that would have run through June 2010.
(On September 1, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court granted the City's
motion to reject the IBEW agreement.)  The City and IAFF spent 5
days in mediation and commenced binding arbitration hearings in
January 2010.  Additional hearing dates had been scheduled later
this month.  During the interim period, the City and IAFF resumed
negotiations and reached an agreement on the terms of a new
agreement on February 18, 2010.

CLEARPOINT BUSINESS: Enters Loan Modification & Restructure Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
ClearPoint Business Resources Inc. disclosed in its reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company
entered into a Loan Modification and Restructure Agreement dated
June 20, 2008, with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company,
pursuant to which the parties agreed to consolidate certain
amounts owed by the Company to M&T and to permit the Company to
repay such amounts on a deferred basis.  The Deferred Obligations
were initially $3 million.

In addition to repayment of the Deferred Obligations, the
Restructure Agreement provides that the Company must pay M&T cash
proceeds arising out of certain of its and its subsidiaries'
accounts receivable in an amount not less than $3 million prior
the earlier of the Company's full satisfaction of its obligations
owed to ComVest Capital, LLC or January 1, 2011.  In the event M&T
receives less than $3 million of proceeds arising out of the
Accounts, the shortfall will be added to and deemed part of the
Deferred Obligations.  The terms of the Restructure Agreement
provide that upon the occurrence of a default in the due
observance or performance of any covenant, condition or agreement
which, if capable of being cured, is not fully cured within thirty
days after the occurrence thereof, and at all times thereafter
during the continuance thereof, all Deferred Obligations shall be
accelerated and become immediately due and payable.  As of March
17, 2010, the Deferred Obligations were approximately $3.1
million, with approximately $1.5 million due to M & T in
connection with proceeds arising out of the Accounts.

On March 17, 2010, the Company received a letter from M&T in
connection with the Restructure Agreement.  The M&T Letter states
that it serves as a notice of existence of events of default under
the Restructure Agreement, including the Company's failure to
comply with its covenant to collect the Accounts, the Company's
failure to deliver certain financial information to M&T and the
existence of events of default under the Company's Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement with ComVest.  In addition, M&T requested
an explanation of the Company's efforts to collect the Accounts,
evidence that remittances from the Accounts were applied in
accordance with the Restructure Agreement and copies of all
information furnished to ComVest pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
The M&T Letter further provides that all of its rights, benefits
and security against the Company in connection with such alleged
defaults, including the right to accelerate the Deferred
Obligations, are reserved.

An event of default under the Restructure Agreement would trigger
a cross-default provision pursuant to the Loan Agreement with
ComVest, unless such default is waived in writing by ComVest.  If
the cross-default provision is triggered, ComVest may, among other
things, declare all outstanding obligations under the Loan
Agreement to be immediately due and payable.  As of March 17,
2010, the Company's outstanding obligations under the Loan
Agreement with ComVest were approximately $10.4 million, in

                About ClearPoint Business Resources

ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc., is a workplace management
solutions company.  Through the iLabor Network, ClearPoint
provides services to clients ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 500 companies.  The iLabor Network specializes in the
highly transactional "go to work" or "on-demand" segment of the
temporary labor market.  ClearPoint considers the hospitality,
distribution, warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, transportation,
convention services, hotel chains, retail and administrative
sectors among the segments best able to be served by the iLabor
Network.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, ClearPoint began
to transition its business model from a temporary staffing
provider through a network of branch-based offices or franchises
to a provider that manages clients' temporary staffing needs
through its open Internet portal-based iLabor Network.  ClearPoint
completed this transition during the three months ended June 30,
2008.  Under its new business model, ClearPoint acts as a broker
for its clients and network of temporary staffing suppliers.

ClearPoint derives its revenues from (i) royalty payments related
to client contracts which ClearPoint subcontracted or sold to
other providers of temporary staffing services; (ii) revenues
generated by the iLabor Network; and (iii) revenues related to
VMS.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $2,803,735 in total
assets and $27,426,894 in total liabilities, resulting in
$24,623,159 in stockholders' deficit.

                       Going Concern Opinion

Historically, ClearPoint has funded its cash and liquidity needs
through cash generated from operations and debt financing.  At
September 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$57,278,493 and working capital deficiency of $9,466,342.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net
loss of $2,787,950.   Although the Company restructured its debt
and obtained new financing in the third quarter of 2009, cash
projected to be generated from operations may not be sufficient to
fund operations and meet debt repayment obligations during the
next 12 months.  To meet its future cash and liquidity needs, the
Company may be required to raise additional financing and
restructure existing debt.  There is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in obtaining additional financing and
restructuring its existing debt.  If the Company does not generate
sufficient cash from operations, raise additional financing and
restructure existing debt, there is substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


COMFORCE CORP: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $15.4 Mil.
--------------------------------------------------------------
COMFORCE Corporation reported results for the fourth quarter ended
December 27, 2009.  The Company's balance sheet showed total
assets of $165.2 million and liabilities of $180.7 million for a
$15.4 million total stockholders' deficit.

Revenues for the quarter were $144.4 million compared to
$154.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, a 6.4% decline.
The lower revenues were primarily due to the adverse economic
conditions that prevailed during the period and negatively
impacted the labor markets overall. Sequentially, revenues
increased 3.3% over third quarter 2009.

Revenues of PRO Unlimited, the Company's Human Capital Management
segment, increased $7.4 million or 7.4%, over the prior year's
fourth quarter.   PRO's increase in the fourth quarter of 2009 was
primarily due to an increase in services provided to both new and
existing clients.  Staff Augmentation decreased $17.1 million or
31.5% reflecting a decrease in client demand for services in this
sector and a reduction in clients served.

COMFORCE's gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2009 was
$19.6 million, or 13.6% of sales, compared to $24.7 million, or
16.0% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The decrease in
gross profit is the result of pricing pressures the Company is
facing in the current economic environment, and also due to lower
sales volume on higher margin services. In addition, the Company
recorded an accrual of approximately $1.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2009 related to the settlement of a state tax
examination.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $13.8 million, compared
to operating income of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The operating loss in the fourth quarter 2009 includes a non-cash
charge for goodwill impairment in the amount of $16.1 million,
relating to the Company's Staff Augmentation segment.  Excluding
this non-cash charge, operating income for the fourth quarter was
$2.3 million.

Interest expense was $649,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009,
compared to $869,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008.  This decrease
was primarily due to lower borrowings under the Company's credit
facility during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth
quarter 2008.

Other income, net, for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $44,000,
principally consists of a gain on the settlement of a third party
dispute, partially offset by losses on foreign currency exchanges,
compared to other expense, net, for the fourth quarter of 2008 of
$442,000, principally consisting of losses on foreign currency
exchanges.

COMFORCE recorded a loss before income taxes of $14.4 million for
the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to income before income taxes
of $3.3 million for the comparable period last year.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $426,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2009, compared to a tax provision of $1.4 million in
the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $14.0 million, or $0.82 per
basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million,
or $0.10 per basic and $0.06 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter of 2008.

                        Full Year Results

COMFORCE reported revenues of $563.8 million for the fiscal year
ended December 27, 2009, compared to revenues of $606.6 million
for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008.   PRO Unlimited
revenues increased 1.3% for full year 2009.  Staff Augmentation
decreased 21.9% for the full year.

COMFORCE's gross profit for fiscal year 2009 was $80.4 million, or
14.3% of revenues, compared to $96.4 million, or 15.9% of revenues
for fiscal year 2008.  The decrease in gross profit is the result
of pricing pressures the Company faced throughout 2009 given the
prevailing economic conditions and lower sales volume on higher
margin services.  In addition, the Company recorded an additional
accrual of approximately $2.7 million in 2009 related to a state
tax examination, which was settled in January 2010 for
$2.8 million.

Operating loss for the year was $9.1 million, compared to
operating income of $16.2 million for 2008.  Included in the
operating loss for full year 2009 is a non-cash goodwill
impairment charge in the amount of $16.1 million relating to the
Company's Staff Augmentation segment.  Excluding this non-cash
charge, operating income for the full year 2009 was $7.0 million.

Interest expense for fiscal 2009 was $2.1 million, compared to
$4.4 million for the prior year period.  This lower interest
expense was primarily due to the repurchase and redemption of the
12% Senior Notes during 2008 and lower interest rates under the
Company's credit facility.  In November 2009, the Company renewed
its credit facility for three years and under the new facility,
its borrowing costs will be higher than under the old facility.

Other income, net, for full year 2009 of $150,000, principally
consists of a gain on the settlement of a third party dispute and
gains on foreign currency exchanges, as compared to other expense,
net, of $1.1 million, principally consisting of losses on foreign
currency exchanges for the same period in 2008.

COMFORCE reported a loss before income taxes for fiscal 2009 of
$11.0 million, compared to income before income taxes of
$10.4 million for fiscal 2008.  The Company recognized a tax
provision of $1.1 million in fiscal 2009, compared to a tax
provision of $4.5 million for the same period last year.

COMFORCE reported net loss of $12.2 million, or $0.76 per basic
and diluted share for fiscal 2009, compared to net income of
$5.9 million, or $0.28 per basic share and $0.18 per diluted share
for fiscal 2008.

                      Comments from Management

John Fanning, Chairman and CEO of COMFORCE commented, "There have
been some indications recently that there is some improvement in
the labor markets, and we were pleased to have seen a sequential
improvement in revenues for the fourth quarter driven by PRO's
revenues increasing 6.8% over the third quarter.  And, while we
were pleased to report this, we still do not have a clear
indication as to when we will see a meaningful recovery in our
business."

Mr. Fanning continued, "We remain enthusiastic about the potential
for PRO Unlimited and RightSourcing(R) and expect these sectors of
our business to continue to be in demand.  As a result, we believe
we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities to grow
our business for the future."

COMPUTER SYSTEMS: Seeks July 12 Extension of Exclusive Period
-------------------------------------------------------------
Computer Systems Company, Inc., d/b/a The CSC Group, and R4, LLC,
ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio
for a 120-day extension of their exclusivity plan proposal
periods.  The extension would give the Debtors until July 12,
2010, to file a proposed plan and disclosure statement.

The Debtors informed the Court that they have worked diligently
during the initial exclusive period to maximize the value of their
business and assets for the estate and its creditors.  In addition
to working vigorously to stabilize their sources of revenue and to
create new sources of revenue from sales both of their products
and technology, the Debtors and their counsel secured the use of
their cash collateral for a sufficient period of time to enable
them to achieve a reorganization of their business and assets.
According to the Debtors, this should enable them to obtain
optimal value for their business and assets, through the pursuit
of available sale or investment opportunities, all of which will
directly benefit their creditors.

The Debtors also said they have focused much of their efforts on
accomplishing the requirements set forth the interim and final
cash collateral orders entered by the Court and in securing an
investment banking firm to locate additional DIP or exit financing
and assist with the successful reorganization and restructure of
the Debtors.

CONVERGEX HOLDINGS: Moody's Affirms 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B1 corporate family rating
and stable rating outlook of ConvergEx Holdings LLC.  The
affirmation reflects ConvergEx's reasonable operating performance
despite unfavorable market conditions, which has allowed it to
generate cash flow at levels that, relative to its large debt
service requirements, are consistent with its assigned rating.

Moody's noted that ConvergEx's 2009 performance was generally
consistent with expectations underpinning the upgrade of the
company's CFR to B1 from B2 in January, 2009.  While transaction
volumes in cash equities were depressed by low market volatility,
the company's technology business, which is more recurring in
nature, offset some of the revenue declines.  Additionally,
ConvergEx was able to reduce operating expenses to preserve a
stable level of operating cash flow during the year.

The rating agency observed that trading volumes in the first
quarter of 2010 suggest that material EBITDA growth in 2010 will
be difficult to achieve -- unless operating conditions improve
beyond current expectations.  At the same time, Moody's expects
ConvergEx to maintain cash-flow coverage of cash interest expenses
at over 2.25x, including in adverse earnings scenarios.
Furthermore, incorporating the expected modest pay-down of debt
during 2010, ConvergEx's cash-flow leverage, as calculated by
Moody's, should be in the 4.1x -- 4.7x range, lending support to
the stable outlook.  If ConvergEx's cash-flow leverage declines to
less than 4x, and is expected to remain at this level, positive
pressure on the rating could emerge.

As suggested by these metrics, ConvergEx's primary credit
challenge is its large debt burden, which at $750 million, is
higher than after ConvergEx's formative LBO in 2006.  Since that
time, ConvergEx has demonstrated a solid ability to generate cash-
flow to pay down debt, but management has primarily been focused
on broadening the franchise through acquisitions.  In 2009,
although debt did decline modestly, a significant portion of
ConvergEx's free cash-flow was spent on acquisitions of Northpoint
(a prime-brokerage business catering to very small hedge funds),
Millenium (an equities "dark pool" platform), and Cogent (a
provider of commission management software).

ConvergEx expects these businesses to be immediately accretive to
EBITDA, and if this is indeed the case, the company's deleveraging
trajectory should marginally accelerate.  Additionally, if these
acquisitions are well-integrated and become positive earnings
contributors, ConvergEx's business and customer mix would also
benefit.

However, insofar as acquisitions reflect management's financial
policy, Moody's will focus on how ConvergEx balances creditor
interests with those of shareholders.  The rating agency believes
that while franchise-enhancing acquisitions could bolster the
success of ConvergEx's eventual refinancing or recapitalization
efforts, such a strategy cannot, by definition, provide complete
certainty and comfort to existing bondholders.  Therefore, a more
pronounced commitment to debt reduction well ahead of the 2013
maturity, will remain an important factor in Moody's analysis.

The last rating action on ConvergEx was on January 8, 2009, when
the corporate family rating was upgraded to B1 from B2.

ConvergEx Holdings LLC, headquartered in New York City, New York,
is a global agency brokerage and technology company.

COOPER-STANDARD: CSA Canada Files Plan of Arrangement
-----------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Ltd. filed with the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice a plan of compromise or arrangement on
March 12, 2010.

The plan provides for payment by CSA Canada of all claims that
stemmed from the December 23, 2004 credit agreement it reached
with a group of lenders led by Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas.  It will be funded through the proceeds from the rights
offering being conducted by U.S.-based Cooper-Standard Holdings
Inc. and its affiliated debtors.

Under the plan, there is only one class of creditors, which is
comprised by holders of claims on account of the 2004 credit
agreement.  Each of these creditors will receive full cash
payment for its claim.

Distributions to the affected creditors will be made by CSA
Canada to Deutsche Bank Trust, administrative agent under the
2004 credit agreement, which will serve as the Canadian unit's
designee for the purpose of making the distributions.

Payment to Deutsche Bank Trust for the credit facility claims
will be made on the day after the conditions to the plan's
implementation have been satisfied or waived, and after RSM
Richter Inc. files a certificate in the Canadian Court announcing
that those conditions have been met or waived.

RSM Richter is the firm appointed by the Canadian Court to
monitor the assets of CSA Canada.

The plan will be implemented upon the fulfillment of certain
conditions including the issuance of a non-appealable order of
the Canadian Court sanctioning the plan; satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions to the effective date set out in the Chapter 11
plan of CSHI, except for the condition requiring that CSA
Canada's plan be sanctioned; and execution and delivery of all
documents needed to implement the plan.

arrangement is available without charge at:

               Claims, Voting and Meeting Process

For the purposes of voting and distribution under the plan, CSA
Canada sought and obtained court approval to implement this
process for determining the amount of prepetition credit facility
claims:

  (1) Deutsche Bank Trust will send notices to CSA Canada
      stating the total amount of the prepetition credit
      facility claims owed directly by the Canadian unit and
      each of the lenders' pro rata share of the claims as of
      March 12, 2010; post a copy of the notice to the lenders
      Web site; and inform each lender through e-mail or notice
      of their pro rata share.

  (2) Each lender must advise Deutsche Bank Trust if its pro
      rata share of the claim is accurate within three days
      after the posting and service of the notices.  A lender
      will be deemed to have confirmed that its pro rata share
      of its claim is accurate if fails to file a notice of
      dispute.

  (3) If a notice of dispute is delivered, Deutsche Bank Trust
      and the lender will have three days to reach an agreement
      in writing as to the amount of the lender's claim.
      The agreement will govern and the lender's pro rata share
      of its claim as agreed will be deemed to be the lender's
      proven claim for the purposes of voting and distribution
      under the plan.

  (4) If a notice of dispute cannot be resolved in accordance
      with the process, the claim will be determined by the
      Canadian Court on a motion for advice and directions
      brought by CSA Canada on notice to all concerned parties.

  (5) If the amount of a lender's claim has not yet been
      determined on or before the second day prior to March 26,
      2010, then for voting purposes, that lender will be
      deemed to have an accepted claim for voting purposes equal
      to the amount of its pro rata share of the claim stated in
      the "pro rata notice."

The meeting of lenders for the purpose of voting on a resolution
to approve the plan is scheduled for March 26, 2010.

The only lenders entitled to vote at the meeting are those that
hold claims which have been or are otherwise deemed by the
Canadian Court to be finally determined and accepted as the
lenders' proven claims for voting purposes.

If no notice of opposition to the plan is filed with Deutsche
Bank Trust on or before March 26, 2010, lenders with proven
claims for voting purposes that have not filed that notice will
be deemed to have voted in favor of the plan.  Lenders with
proven claims for voting purposes that have timely filed a notice
of opposition will be deemed to have voted against the Plan.

The record date for purposes of voting on the Plan is March 12,
2010.

RSM Richter is required to submit by April 5, 2010, a report to
the Canadian Court about the results of the vote, including
whether the plan was approved in accordance with the provisions
of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, and if the votes
cast by lenders that have unresolved claims would affect the
results of the vote.

If the approval or non-approval of the plan would be altered by
the votes with respect to unresolved claims, RSM Richter should,

COOPER-STANDARD: CSA Canada Obtains May 31 Stay Extension
---------------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Ltd. sought and obtained a
court order granting the company a two-month extension of the
stay of proceedings.

The order issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
extended the "stay period" from March 31 to May 31, 2010.

CSA Canada's lawyer, Robin Schwill, Esq., at Davies Ward Phillips
& Vineberg LLP, in Toronto, Ontario -- rschwill@dwpv.com -- said
the extension allows sufficient time for the implementation of
CSA Canada's plan of compromise or arrangement as well as the
confirmation and implementation of the Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization of its U.S.-based affiliates.

CSA Canada filed on March 12, 2010, its plan of compromise or
arrangement while its U.S.-based affiliates filed their Chapter
11 plan early last month.  Both plans are expected to be
implemented early in May or on April 21, which is also the date
scheduled for the confirmation of the Chapter 11 plan.

CSA Canada sought creditor protection under the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act on August 4, 2009, a day after its
U.S.-based affiliates filed Chapter 11 petitions in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  Upon its filing,
CSA Canada obtained an order from the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice, prohibiting creditors from taking legal actions against
the company and its properties.

COPANO ENERGY: Moody's Confirms 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed Copano Energy, LLC's Corporate
Family Rating at Ba3 and its senior unsecured rating at B1.
Moody's downgraded the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating from
SGL-3 to SGL-2.  This concludes a review for possible downgrade
that was initiated on December 16, 2009.  The outlook is negative.

"The negative outlook reflects a growing leverage position which
began as a result of the Cantera acquisition," stated Francis
Joseph Messina, Moody's Vice-President.  "While the acquisition
increased the scale and provides a wealth of good assets and
greater geographic diversification, leverage has remained
elevated."

Copano's extensive capital investment and increased debt levels
have not led to a proportionate growth in EBITDA.  Moody's
realizes that the sector has come through a difficult cycle;
nevertheless, the company's financial metrics are pressured.  To
stabilize the rating Copano needs to continue to reduce its
Moody's adjusted leverage to consistently under 4.5x trending to
4x.  Copano's recent equity offering helped to improve,
considerably, its leverage position.

Copano's Ba3 CFR rating reflects the company's weakening financial
metrics, adequate distribution coverage, and the absence of
incentive distribution rights, which results in improved
governance and a competitive advantage due to a lower cost of
equity capital relative to its peers.  Copano's above average
exposure to commodity prices is mitigated by: (i) expected growth
in fee-based income, (ii) a partial natural hedge on its natural
gas position (its Mid-Continent volumes are priced on a
percentage-of-proceeds basis which helps offset its net short
position due to keep-whole exposure at its Houston Central
Processing Plant), and (iii) hedges at favorable prices on a
significant portion of its expected volumes of natural gas
liquids.  These benefits are tempered by Copano's higher leverage
and lower returns.

Copano's SGL-3 rating reflects its adequate liquidity over the
next twelve months.  Copano's internal cash flow is expected to
cover budgeted maintenance capital expenditures, interest
payments, working capital requirements, and cash distributions to
unit holders; with sufficient cushion under facility covenants;
and good availability under the $550 million credit facilities
maturing October 2012.  The SGL-3 rating continues to be tempered
by the company's need to distribute all of its free cash flow to
the LLC unit holders and high leverage financing of its expansion
projects in recent years.

As of December 31, 2009, pro-forma for the $142 million equity
offering the company maintained over $44 million of unrestricted
cash and cash equivalents on hand.  For the year ended
December 31, 2009, Copano generated approximately $143 million of
cash flow from operations; however free cash flow was negative
$61 million due to high capex and dividend payout.  As of
December 31, 2009, pro-forma for the recent equity offering
approximately $422 million remains available under Copano's credit
facility.  At December 31, 2009, Copano was in compliance with all
facility covenants with adequate cushion for the next twelve
months.  All Copano's assets are encumbered, serving as security
in the credit agreement, thereby leaving few assets to provide
alternative sources of liquidity.

The B1(LGD 5, 72%, down from LGD 4, 68%) rating for the unsecured
debt reflects both the overall PDR, to which Moody's assigns a PDR
of Ba3, and its position in its capital structure.

The last rating action on Copano was December 16, 2009, when
Moody's placed the CFR, PDR, and senior secured notes under review
for downgrade.

Copano Energy, L.L.C., is headquartered in Houston, Texas.


CROWN HOLDINGS: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed all its
ratings on Philadelphia-based Crown Holdings Inc., including the
'BB' corporate credit rating, and revised the outlook to positive
from stable.  As of Dec. 31, 2009, total adjusted debt was about
$4 billion.  S&P adjusts debt to include $1.3 billion of tax-
effected unfunded postretirement and asbestos liabilities, off-
balance-sheet accounts receivable financing, and capitalized
operating leases.

"The outlook revision reflects S&P's expectation that Crown's
financial profile will continue to strengthen as it applies strong
discretionary cash flows primarily to debt reduction, capital
expansions, and modest-size acquisitions," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Cynthia Werneth.  "Consequently, the FFO to debt
ratio should continue to increase from about 16% currently."

If the company is able to achieve and maintain FFO to debt of 20%
or more, S&P could raise the ratings by one notch.

The ratings on Crown reflect its satisfactory business risk
profile as a leading global can manufacturer with annual sales of
about $8 billion and a significant financial risk profile.

S&P believes that continued strong operating performance and
further debt reduction could lead to sufficient strengthening of
the financial profile to warrant a one-notch upgrade during the
next several quarters.  For us to consider a higher rating, funds
from operations to adjusted total debt would have to consistently
meet or exceed 20%.  The factor that would most likely slow down
the improvement in credit metrics is a larger-than-expected debt-
funded acquisition.  The probability of a downgrade appears remote
at this time.


CRYSTAL RIVER: May End Up in Bankruptcy if Merger Not Completed
---------------------------------------------------------------
Crystal River Capital, Inc., disclosed that its merger with
Brookfield Asset Management Inc. has been unanimously approved by
the independent members of its board of directors, and by the
special committee formed to oversee the process.

On February 24, 2010, the Company disclosed that it has entered
into a definitive merger agreement with Brookfield pursuant to
which Brookfield has agreed to acquire all the outstanding common
stock of Crystal River that Brookfield does not already own for
cash at a price of $0.60 per share.  Brookfield, directly or
through affiliates, currently owns approximately 8% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Crystal River and also is
the lender under Crystal River's senior credit facility.

The transaction is subject to approval by Crystal River's
stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at
a special meeting of stockholders, as well as other customary
closing conditions.  Consummation of the merger is not subject to
a financing condition and Brookfield has consented to the
transaction in its capacity as Crystal River's senior lender.  The
merger agreement does not prohibit Crystal River from receiving
and evaluating competing bids prior to completion of the merger
and does not require the payment of a termination fee if Crystal
River accepts a superior bid.  Crystal River will be obligated to
reimburse Brookfield for all of its transaction expenses if the
merger agreement is terminated other than as result of a breach by
Brookfield (subject to a cap in certain circumstances).  The
merger currently is expected to close in the second quarter of
2010.

The Company notes, "It is likely that if the merger is not
consummated and no superior bid is received, we may be required to
seek protection from our creditors by filing under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy may be
filed against us in light of our financial condition."

DAVIE YARDS: Obtains an Extension of CCAA Stay Order
----------------------------------------------------
Davie Yards has obtained an order from the Quebec Superior Court
extending the stay of proceedings ordered by the Court to May 25,
2010, the whole pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement
Act.  The extension will allow Davie to continue its efforts to
develop and eventually submit a plan of arrangement to its
creditors under CCAA.

Davie also announced that, due to its CCAA proceedings, the filing
of its financial statements, management's discussion and analysis
and related CEO and CFO certifications, for the fourth quarter and
year ended December 31, 2009, as well as its annual information
form for the year ended December 31, 2009, will be delayed beyond
the filing deadline of March 31, 2010.  As a result of Davie's
ongoing review process while under CCAA protection, there is a
high degree of measurement uncertainty with respect to the
appropriate carrying value of certain of Davie's assets on its
balance sheet and as a result Davie is unable to prepare its
Filings.

Davie intends to file with securities regulatory authorities
throughout the period in which is in default, the same information
it provides to its creditors when the information is provided to
creditors and in the same manner as it would file a material
change report.

Davie plans to remedy the default and file the Filings as soon as
it able to do so.  However, Davie cannot confirm with certainty
when, or if it will be able to remedy the default and file its
Filings.

Davie also intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternate
information guidelines of section 4.4 of National Policy 12-203 as
long as it is in default of the filing requirement.

Any recovery for creditors and other stakeholders, including
shareholders, is uncertain and will depend on the outcome of
Davie's CCAA proceedings.

DELTA AIR: Seeks DOT Nod to Offer Flights to Haneda, Tokyo
----------------------------------------------------------
Delta Air Lines filed an application with the U.S. Department of
Transportation to offer customers nonstop service between Tokyo's
Haneda Airport and Seattle, Detroit, Los Angeles and Honolulu.
Delta is seeking to compete at Tokyo's centrally located Haneda
airport, which is slated to be re-opened to U.S. carriers for the
first time since 1978 under a proposed new aviation treaty with
Japan.

The importance of Delta's application is underscored by the fact
that Delta's SkyTeam alliance is the only global network without
the ability to compete at Haneda.  The two other major alliances
serving Tokyo-Haneda -- Star and Oneworld -- have Japanese
partners that dominate service at the airport, with large hubs and
extensive networks across Asia.  Awarding Delta new slots to
Haneda would add a third major airline alliance flying between the
airport and the U.S., increasing competition and benefits to
consumers.

"Enabling Delta to enter Haneda is critical to advancing airline
competition in Tokyo, particularly considering the strong presence
that the Star and oneworld alliance carriers already enjoy at this
important and tightly controlled airport," said Glen Hauenstein,
Delta's executive vice president - Network and Revenue Management.
"No U.S. airline has invested more in Tokyo, and more customers
and communities stand to gain from new Delta service at Haneda
than can be served by competing applications."

Delta's application proposes new nonstop service, beginning
October 31, 2010, between Haneda and four U.S. cities:

    * Seattle: This city -- already Delta and partner Alaska
      Airlines' primary West Coast gateway to Asia -- would
      serve as a convenient connecting point to central Tokyo
      for customers in 55 U.S. cities, as well as providing
      nonstop service for Seattle's large local market.  Flights
      would be operated on 298-seat Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

    * Detroit: Service between Detroit and Haneda is a natural
      addition to Delta's Eastern U.S. gateway to Asia.  Delta's
      hub at Detroit, featuring a state-of-the-art 120-gate
      terminal designed for international connections, will
      provide one-stop service to Haneda for 106 U.S. cities.
      Service would be operated on 403-seat Boeing 747-400
      aircraft.

    * Los Angeles: With flights between Haneda and Los Angeles,
      Delta would be serving the largest U.S.-Tokyo market, as
      well as providing one-stop service for customers in 18
      U.S. cities.  Flights would be operated on Boeing 747-400
      aircraft.

    * Honolulu: Service between Haneda and Honolulu would
      provide new options for customers traveling the already
      popular and competitive leisure route between Tokyo and
      Hawaii's largest city.  Delta would operate service with
      Boeing 747-400 aircraft.

"Delta's proposed new service stands to advance the commercial and
tourism interests of both the U.S. and Japan by creating jobs and
boosting local economies in communities on both sides of the
Pacific, especially in Seattle, Detroit, Los Angeles, Honolulu and
Tokyo," said Andrea Fischer Newman, senior vice president for
Government Affairs.  "Delta needs to be able to meet the
competitive challenge of new services that soon will be launched
by Japanese airlines from Haneda, and our strong track record of
trans-Pacific service from communities across the United States
enables us to do that most effectively."

She noted that Haneda's popularity among business travelers could
attract new businesses to cities with nonstop service.

"We are looking forward to working with elected and community
leaders, our customers and Delta employees to make the case to the
Department of Transportation that our new Japan service will have
widespread benefits for consumers, residents and businesses
alike," Ms. Newman said.

Delta's new service at Haneda would complement the airline's
existing service at Tokyo's Narita airport.  Delta currently
offers flights between Narita and 11 U.S. cities.

Delta's complete proposed schedule for summer and winter service
at Haneda is available at:

DELTA AIR: Offers Investor Update for First Quarter
---------------------------------------------------
In an investor update filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 9, 2009, Delta Air Lines, Inc. provided
guidance for the March 2010 quarter.

Delta Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Hank
Halter said that projected system load factors for March 2010 and
April 2010 of 84% and 82%, are expected to be 1-3 points higher
than the prior year period.

The Company expects passenger RASM to increase approximately 8%
in February and 16% in March, compared to the same period in
2009.  Corporate revenue and ticket volumes have increased
approximately 30% year-over-year for the last four weeks, Mr.
Halter said.

Mr. Halter noted that Delta cancelled approximately 7,000
flights, or 3.2% of system capacity, due to severe weather in
February 2010.  As a result of the cancellations, revenue
declined by $65 million and costs decreased $35 million -- for a
net impact of $30 million.

According to Mr. Halter, Delta expects to end the March 2010
quarter with $5.5 billion of unrestricted liquidity.  This is
lower than previous guidance due to $130 million of accelerated
pension funding.

Delta further expects approximately 832 million weighted average
shares outstanding for the March 2010 quarter, Mr. Halter told
the SEC.

DELPHI CORP: Lawmakers Want Obama to Help Pensioners
----------------------------------------------------
In a public statement dated February 24, 2010, U.S. Senator
Sherrod Brown and Representative Tim Ryan disclosed that they
wrote to U.S. President Barack Obama on February 23, 2010,
calling for his intervention on behalf of Delphi Corp.'s salaried
retirees who stand to lose a substantial portion of their
pensions in light of Delphi's and General Motors Corporation's
bankruptcies.

Messrs. Brown and Ryan were joined by about 30 U.S. senators and
representatives in their Letter requesting that the U.S.
government bring GM to the negotiating table to work out a fair
solution for the Delphi salaried retirees.

A full-text copy of the Letter is available for free at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?5a1e

In the Letter, the U.S. Lawmakers said, "The auto industry helped
build America's middle class.  Now, the every people who built GM
through their labor are facing the prospect of losing the middle
class retirement that they earned over a lifetime of service."
However, more than 20,000 salaried retirees and 100 union
retirees were left with no additional pension benefit guarantee,
the U.S. Lawmakers emphasized in their Letter.  Moreover, those
retirees are receiving notification from the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation of the reduction in their benefits, the U.S.
Lawmakers said.  The U.S. Lawmakers stressed that the reductions
that went into effect on February 1, 2010, as gathered from the
data collected by the DSRA, will have a profoundly negative
impact on the individual retirees, their families, and their
communities.

"As a 60% shareholder in New GM, the federal government is in a
position to do something to restore fairness for the Delphi
salaried retirees and to minimize the economic pact of the
pension loss on their communities," the U.S. Lawmakers asserted.

Mr. Brown said that he will join his colleagues in introducing
legislation that would curb abuses that deny employees and
retirees of their pensions when business collapse.  The
Protecting Employees and Retirees in Business Bankruptcies Act
would make several changes to Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emphasizing
worker and retiree interests when companies file for bankruptcy,
Mr. Brown added.

For his part, U.S. Representative Dave Camp is co-sponsoring a
bill that demands turnover of the U.S. government of documents
and communications regarding the U.S. Department of the Treasury
Auto Task Force in connection with GM's and Chrysler, LLC's
bankruptcies, Trading Markets reports.  Mr. Camp said that the
bill seeks answers as to why about 1,300 Delphi retirees in the
4th district will receive reduced monthly benefits, the report
notes.

                 Old GM Refuses to Negotiate,
             Retirees Flustered With Gov't.'s Stance

Old GM has declined to negotiate over the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation's takeover of the pensions of Delphi
salaried retirees, Joseph Szczesny of The Oakland Press reports.

Tom Wilkinson, spokesperson of GM, confirmed that Old GM has not
changed its stance.  "The salaried pension was fully funded when
Delphi became an independent company 11 years ago and the
responsibility for the pension from that point became Delphi's,"
Mr. Wilkinson explained, The Oakland Press notes.

Delphi salaried retirees are, however, challenging Old GM's
assertion that the Delphi salaried pension was fully funded when
Delphi was spin off from GM in 1999, according to The Oakland
Press.  Delphi salaried retirees cited the figures in Delphi's
1999 annual report, indicating that Old GM knew from the start
that Delphi had insufficient resources, the report relates.

To these allegations, Mr. Wilkinson of GM related in an e-mailed
statement to the Oakland Press: "Based on the results published
in the GM 1999 Pension Expense Report, the Delphi F87 results at
the time of the spin-off showed a projected benefit obligation
for the salaried plan of $2.25 billion, and a market value of
assets of $2.45 billion."

Indeed, the DSRA previously urged GM to "top up" the pension
payments former salaried employees can receive from the PBGC as
GM did for Delphi's union employees.  A House of Representatives'
Health, Employment, Labor and Pension Subcommittee also demanded
Secretary Timothy Geithner of the Auto Task Force to provide all
documents and correspondence relating to the federal government's
involvement in the restructuring of GM's and Delphi's pension
plans.

"There have been at least six specific requests to Mr. Geithner
and the Treasury Department regarding our pension, but the
Department never responded once," Dennis Black, interim chairman
of the DSRA, told George Pyle of The Buffalo Business Today.

Mr. Black asserted that Old GM's decision to jettison its pension
obligations as it emerged from bankruptcy cannot be blamed on Old
GM alone given the federal government's involvement in Old GM's
restructuring, The Buffalo Business relates.  GM's decision could
not be reversed, but funded, if the Treasury or "White House"
would call for it, The Buffalo News notes.  "They have the power
to fix it in a minute if they will only do it," Mr. Black was
quoted by The Buffalo News as saying.

                      More Pension Cuts

Delphi retirees from Dayton, Ohio are receiving notices of
pension benefit cuts from the PBGC, whiotv.com reports.  The
article notes that this round of pension cuts is focused on
retirees who are under the age of 62.

whiotv.com discloses that the reduction notices not only inform
the retirees of the benefits cut, but also that some retirees
were overpaid and that these retirees have to return some of the
money.

DELPHI CORP: Microchip Wants Lawsuit Dismissed
----------------------------------------------
Delphi Corp. and its units previously sought and obtained an order
on August 16, 2007, establishing procedures for certain adversary
proceedings, including those commenced by the Debtors under
Section 541, 544, 545, 547, 548 or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code.
At the Debtors' behest, the Court entered orders extending the
deadline under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
by which they would be required to serve process on March 28,
2008, April 30, 2008, and October 22, 2009.

In September 2007, the Debtors commenced an adversary complaint
under seal, seeking to recover alleged preferential transfers
made to Microchip Technology Incorporated in the aggregate amount
of $1,527,621.

Counsel to Microchip, Jonathan I. Levine, Esq., at Andrews Kurth
LLP, in New York, notes that his client was served with the
Complaint on or about February 18, 2010, over two years after the
limitations period provided by Section 546(a) expired on
October 8, 2007.

Against this backdrop, Microchip asks Judge Drain to:

  (1) vacate, with respect to Microchip, pursuant to Rule 60 of
      the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule 9024 of the
      Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure the Preservation of
      Estate Claims Procedures Order entered on August 16, 2007,
      and the Extension Orders dated March 28, 2008, April 30,
      2008 and October 22, 2009, with respect to its case; and

  (2) dismiss the Complaint against Microchip pursuant to Rule
      12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule
      7012(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
      because it is barred by the two-year statute of
      limitations imposed by Section 546(a) and thus, fails to
      state a claim upon which relief may be granted; or

  (3) in the alternative, dismiss the Adversary Proceeding
      against Microchip because it is barred by judicial
      estoppel.

Mr. Levine asserts that the combination of permitting the Debtors
to file the Complaint under seal will result in a proceeding
completely devoid of procedural due process.  It will prevent
Microchip from discovering that it had been sued, while
continually extending the Debtors' time to serve process
exceeding two years past the two-year statute of limitations
under Section 546(a), he points out.

To bridge the gap between the time that Microchip should have
been served with the Complaint and the date on which it was
actually served with the Complaint, the Debtors seem to rely on
the Extension Orders, ex parte from the one entity that had an
adverse interest, namely, Microchip, Mr. Levine cites.

Civil Rule 4(m) made applicable by Rule 7004(a) of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedures provides that if a defendant is
not served within 120 days after the complaint was filed, the
court, on motion or on its own notice to the plaintiff, must
dismiss the action against that defendant or order that service
be made within a specified time, Mr. Levine explains.  Against
this backdrop, the Extension Orders should not have been entered,
as good cause did not exist to extend the time to serve process
as a matter of law, he says.

In the alternative, the Complaint is barred by judicial estoppel,
Mr. Levine contends.  In two of their request to extend the Rule
4(m) deadline, the Debtors stated that of the 742 adversary
proceedings commenced under seal, only the claims relating to
Laneko Engineering Co.; Wachovia Bank, National Association;
Laneko Engineering Co. Inc.; and their affiliates were subject to
the Preservation of Estate Claims Procedures Order.  The Court
adopted the Debtors' position in entering the Extension Orders.
"Thus, by serving the Complaint on Microchip, the Debtors are now
attempting to reverse a legal position previously asserted in two
of their requests and adopted by the Court," he maintains.

electronics and transportation systems, including powertrain,
safety, steering, thermal, and controls & security systems,
electrical/electronic architecture, and in-car entertainment
technologies.  Delphi had approximately 146,600 employees and
operates 150 wholly owned manufacturing sites in 34 countries with
sales of $18.1 billion in 2008.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on October 8, 2005
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-44481).  John Wm. Butler Jr.,
Esq., John K. Lyons, Esq., and Ron E. Meisler, Esq., at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, represent the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  Robert J. Rosenberg, Esq., Mitchell A.
Seider, Esq., and Mark A. Broude, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of
June 30, 2008, the Debtors' balance sheet showed US$9,162,000,000
in total assets and US$23,742,000,000 in total debts.

The Court confirmed Delphi's plan on January 25, 2008.  The Plan
was not consummated after a group led by Appaloosa Management,
L.P., backed out from their proposal to provide US$2,550,000,000
in equity financing to Delphi.  At the end of July 2009, Delphi
obtained confirmation of a revised plan, build upon a sale of the
assets to a entity formed by some of the lenders who provided
$4 billion of debtor-in-possession financing, and General Motors
Company.

On October 6, 2009, Delphi Corp.'s Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization became effective.  A Master Disposition Agreement
executed among Delphi Corporation, Motors Liquidation Company,
General Motors Company, GM Components Holdings LLC, and DIP Holdco
3, LLC, divides Delphi's business among three separate parties --
DPH Holdings LLC, GM Components, and DIP Holdco 3.

Delphi emerged from Chapter 11 as DPH Holdings.  DPH Holdings will
remain responsible for the post-Effective Date administration and
eventual closing of the Chapter 11 cases as well as the
disposition of certain retained assets and payment of certain
retained liabilities as provided under the Modified Plan.

DESERT HILLS BANK: Closed; NY Community Bank Assumes All Deposits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Desert Hills Bank, Phoenix, Arizona, was closed on March 26, 2010,
by the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with New York Community Bank, Westbury, New
York, to assume all of the deposits of Desert Hills Bank.

The six branches of Desert Hills Bank are set to reopen on Monday,
March 29, as branches of New York Community Bank.  Depositors of
Desert Hills Bank will automatically become depositors of New York
Community Bank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC,
so there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers should continue to use their former Desert Hills Bank
branch until they receive notice from New York Community Bank that
it has completed systems changes to allow other New York Community
Bank branches to process their accounts as well.

As of December 31, 2009, Desert Hills Bank had around
$496.6 million in total assets and $426.5 million in total
deposits.  New York Community Bank did not pay the FDIC a premium
to assume all of the deposits of Desert Hills Bank.  In addition
to assuming all of the deposits, New York Community Bank agreed to
purchase essentially all of the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and New York Community Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on $325.9 million of Desert Hills Bank's assets.  New
York Community Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools
covered under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-share
transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered
by keeping them in the private sector.  The transaction also is
expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more
information on loss share, 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 1-800-886-2504.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $106.7 million.  New York Community Bank's acquisition of
all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's
DIF compared to all alternatives.  Desert Hills Bank is the 41st
FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
first in Arizona.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the
state was Valley Capital Bank, N.A., Mesa, on December 11, 2009.


DUBAI WORLD: "More Economic Sense" to Pay Sukuk, Gov't Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones Newswire's Ainsley Thomson reports that a spokeswoman
for the Dubai government said a significant part of the rationale
behind repaying the sukuks issued by Dubai World's real estate
arm, Nakheel, was to get the "Nakheel engine running again".  "We
looked at the cost of restructuring against paying them as they
fell due and the conclusion was it would make more economic sense
to pay them as they fell due," she said, according to Dow Jones.

Dow Jones says one person familiar with the matter said those
involved with the negotiations were also mindful that they did not
want to damage the sukuk market.  Investor confidence in the sukuk
market, which in 2009 was worth $31 billion globally according to
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, has been shaken following defaults
in the past year from Investment Dar of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia's
Saad Group.

According to Dow Jones, Okan Akin, a credit strategist at Royal
Bank of Scotland in London, said, "The decision to pay-down
Nakheel's sukuk should be perceived pretty positively by the sukuk
market overall."

Dow Jones relates the person familiar with the matter said
protecting of the sukuk market was also of particular importance
because Nakheel's restructuring plan includes paying 60% of the
amount owed to trade creditors via the issuance of new sukuks.

Under the plan, Dow Jones relates, Nakheel and the Dubai
government will negotiate with banks to provide a liquid market
for the new sukuk, by acting as market-makers.  This will allow
trade creditors to cash-in the sukuks if they wish.  If confidence
in the sukuk market is hit, trade creditors could find their new
sukuks worth less than expected, and the ultimate goal of getting
Nakheel back on its feet would be defeated.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Friday, Stefania
Bianchi at Dow Jones Newswires said Dubai's government will inject
about $9.5 billion into Dubai World and real-estate developer
Nakheel.  Dow Jones said that, according to a statement by Dubai
government, cash for Dubai World "will be funded by $5.7 billion
remaining from the loan previously made available from the
Government of Abu Dhabi and from internal Dubai government
resources."  The statement also said "the government is offering
to recapitalize Dubai World through the equitization of the
Government's $8.9 billion claim and a commitment to fund up to
$1.5 billion in new funds."  The statement also said the
government "is offering to inject approximately $8 billion in new
funds, which will have a significant direct impact on the
construction and real estate sectors and the wider economy, and to
recapitalize Nakheel through the equitization of the government's
$1.2 billion claim."

Dow Jones also reported that a government financial advisor said
on a conference call that Dubai World's restructuring will include
the selling of some assets.  Dow Jones said the government has no
specific timeline and "there's no immediate action" on asset
sales.

                       6-Month Standstill

In November 2009, the Troubled Company Reporter ran a story
about Dubai World seeking a six-month standstill on its debt
obligations.  The government of Dubai said it would restructure
Dubai World and has appointed Deloitte LLP to lead the
restructuring effort, naming an executive at the consultancy as
the group's "chief restructuring officer."

Bloomberg News' Arif Sharif and Laura Cochrane said Dubai World
has US$59 billion in liabilities.  Bloomberg said Dubai
accumulated US$80 billion of debt by expanding in banking, real
estate and transportation before credit markets seized up last
year.

The Wall Street Journal said Standard & Poor's in an October
report estimated Dubai World could be responsible for as much as
50% of Dubai's total government and corporate debt load of some
US$80 billion to US$90 billion.

                         Large Exposure

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Dec. 1,
2009, The Wall Street Journal's Chip Cummins, Dana Cimilluca and
Sara Schaefer Munoz, citing a person familiar with the matter,
said that U.K.'s Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, HSBC Holdings
PLC, Barclays PLC, Lloyds Banking Group PLC, Standard Chartered
PLC and ING Groep NV of the Netherlands, are among the
international banks that have large exposure in Dubai World.

RBS has lent roughly US$1 billion to Dubai World, another person
said, according to the Journal.  Sources also told the Journal
Barclays's exposure to Dubai World is roughly US$200 million, and
that exposure is effectively hedged.

David Robertson at The (U.K) Times reported Credit Suisse has
estimated that European banks could have EUR40 billion
(GBP36 billion) in loans to Dubai and much of this could be at
risk if the Gulf emirate defaults.

The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the
banks with the greatest exposure to Dubai World are Abu Dhabi
Commercial Bank and Emirate NBD PJSC, people familiar with the
matter said.

Dow Jones Newswires' Margot Patrick related that a report by the
Emirates Banks Association said the top eight foreign banks in the
United Arab Emirates by lending volume -- HSBC, Standard
Chartered, Barclays, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland's ABN Amro,
Citigroup Inc., BNP Paribas SA, Lloyds and Credit Agricole SA's
Calyon, -- extended about US$36 billion in loans in 2008
throughout the federation, without breaking down the loans by
emirate or type of borrower.

DUKE REALTY: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Rating on Preferred Stock
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed these ratings of Duke Realty
Corporation and its operating partnership, Duke Realty Limited
Partnership:

Duke Realty Corporation

  -- Issuer Default Rating at 'BBB';
  -- $1 billion preferred stock at 'BB+'.

Duke Realty Limited Partnership

  -- IDR at 'BBB';
  -- $850 million unsecured line of credit at 'BBB';
  -- $2.85 billion senior unsecured notes at 'BBB';
  -- $259.4 million senior unsecured exchangeable notes at 'BBB'.

The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The affirmation of Duke's ratings reflects the company's moderate
leverage, large and diversified pool of industrial and office
properties, diversified tenant mix with a well-laddered lease
expiration schedule, strong unencumbered asset coverage of
unsecured debt, manageable debt maturity profile, and limited
development risk.

Balancing these strengths are continued weaknesses in the
company's operating markets, which will likely continue to result
in negative same store net operating income over the next two
years, as well as fixed charge coverage that is low for the
ratings.

The ratings factor in Duke's diversified portfolio of 762 bulk
distribution, suburban office, and health care properties located
across 20 markets.  Moreover, the company has a highly diversified
tenant roster and a manageable lease expiration schedule.  Duke's
20 largest tenants represented a low 15.6% of total annualized
base rents at Dec. 31, 2009.  In addition, the largest lease
expirations in any given year represent 12% of annual base rents,
reflecting the well-laddered lease expiration schedule.

The ratings also factor in the steps the company has taken since
the downturn to strengthen operations and the balance sheet and
boost liquidity.  Duke has reduced leverage by raising common
equity and tendering for unsecured debt, exiting the retail and
merchant building businesses, curtailing development and reducing
operating expenses.  Going forward, the company plans to de-lever
further through asset sales and has earmarked a sizeable portfolio
of non-strategic land and properties, primarily in the former
build-for-sale and mid-west office portfolios.

During 2009, Duke demonstrated access to various forms of capital
despite challenging capital market conditions, raising
approximately $1.3 billion by way of common equity ($525 million),
unsecured debt ($500 million), and secured debt ($270 million).
The company used the net proceeds to reduce leverage, including
repaying outstanding balances under its revolving line of credit
and tendering for bonds maturing over the near term.  Moreover,
the company's debt maturity profile improved as a result of the
unsecured debt issuance and tender offers.  As of Dec. 31, 2009,
debt maturities during the 2010 to 2012 period are $957 million
(24.6% of total consolidated debt), which represents a significant
reduction from the previous year, when maturities over the same
time period were $1.91 billion (44.5% of total debt).

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the company
renewed its unsecured revolving line of credit that was set to
expire in January 2010.  The new facility has a commitment of
$850 million, a reduction from the previous facility commitment of
$1.3 billion, and bears a rate of LIBOR+275 basis points (bps), up
from LIBOR+52.5 bps on the previous facility.  The facility also
has a $200 million accordion feature and matures in February 2013.
While it is smaller, Fitch believes the facility has been right-
sized to more appropriately fund Duke's more simplified business
model, and the new terms are consistent with broader trends seen
across the real estate investment trust sector.

As a result of these steps, Duke's leverage and capitalization
metrics have improved.  The company's risk-adjusted capital ratio
at a 'BBB' stress level rose to 1.0 times (x) at Dec. 31, 2009,
from 0.9x at Dec. 31, 2008 (a risk-adjusted capital ratio of at
least 1.0x is considered appropriate).  Leverage, measured by net
debt to recurring operating EBITDA, declined to 6.9x at Dec. 31,
2009 from 8.1x at Dec. 31, 2008, and was appropriate for the
rating category.  These improvements have prevented downward
rating migration.

Duke's large unencumbered asset pool also provides support for the
'BBB' ratings.  As of Dec. 31, 2009, the company had 446
stabilized unencumbered properties with a gross book value of
$5.5 billion.  While the company encumbered additional assets
during 2009, this was outpaced by a reduction in the company's
unsecured debt.  As a result, the company's unencumbered asset
coverage of unsecured debt, as calculated under its bond covenants
rose to 212.9% as of Dec. 31, 2009, from 193.8% as of Dec. 31,
2008, and is consistent with the company's ratings.  Given this
and other ratios, Duke's covenants do not restrict the company's
financial flexibility.

Moreover, illustrative unencumbered asset coverage of unsecured
debt, as measured by applying a capitalization rate of 8.5% to
unencumbered net operating income, was solid at 205%.  In
addition, as a result of Duke's curtailed development activities
the company's wholly owned development portfolio represents a
limited 1.4% of undepreciated assets as of Dec. 31, 2009, down
from 4.2% at Dec. 31, 2008.

Duke's liquidity position is average, based on full availability
on its recently renegotiated line of credit, and its demonstrated
access to various forms of capital.  Fitch calculates that Duke
has a liquidity shortfall of $72.5 million for 2010 and 2011,
calculated as sources (cash, availability under its unsecured
revolving credit facility and expected retained operating cash
flows after dividend payments) less uses (debt maturities and
expected recurring and development capital expenditures).  In
Duke's case, this includes the remaining costs on its development
pipeline of $56.9 million and Duke's pro-rata share of joint
venture debt maturities of $268.3 million.  This shortfall is not
a concern given its small size and the fact that this scenario
assumes that Duke is unable to refinance any of its debt.

Balancing these strengths, Duke's fixed charge coverage remains
low for the 'BBB' rating level.  Duke's fixed charge coverage
ratio, (defined as recurring operating EBITDA less capital
expenditures and straight-line rent adjustments divided by
interest expense, capitalized interest and preferred dividends)
has hovered in the 1.4x to 1.5x range since 2007 and was 1.4x
during 2009.  This metric reflects sizeable preferred dividends
($73.5 million in 2009), as well as the drag on performance
metrics from the sizeable pool of undeveloped land ($661 million;
7.7% of undepreciated book assets at Dec. 31, 2009).

Consistent with Fitch's criteria report, 'Equity Credit for
Hybrids & Other Capital Securities - Amended,' Dec. 29, 2009, a
two-notch differential between Duke's IDR and preferred stock
rating exists, as these preferred shares have cumulative coupon
deferral options exercisable by Duke and thus have readily
triggered loss absorption provisions in a going concern.

The Negative Outlook takes into account Fitch's expectation that
Duke's operating performance will continue to be pressured in
2010.  This is consistent with Fitch's Negative Outlook on both
the operating fundamentals for the industrial and office sectors
at large.  Fitch's projections factor in same store NOI declines
of 2.7% and 1.5% in 2010 and 2011, respectively.  Under this
scenario, Fitch estimates that fixed charge coverage will remain
stable at 1.4x but debt to recurring operating EBITDA will inch up
to 7.2x by Dec. 31, 2011.  Fitch's projections do not take into
account further lease-up of the un-stabilized pool and sales of
non-strategic assets as laid out in the company's plans for de-
levering over the next few years.  Management currently projects
asset sales of $150 million to $350 million and land sales of
$20 million to $50 million per year over the next three years.
Despite the challenging market conditions for asset sales, the
company sold 8.9 million and 2.7 million square feet of assets
during 2008 and 2009 at stabilized capitalization rates of 7.21%
and 8.28% for total proceeds of $426 million and $265 million,
respectively.  The company also generated gross proceeds of
$33.6 million from the sales of undeveloped land in 2009.

Any of these factors may result in downward momentum on Duke's
ratings:

  -- Fixed charge coverage falls to 1.3x (as of Dec. 31, 2009,
     this ratio was 1.4x)

  -- Unencumbered asset coverage falls below 180% as calculated
     using bond covenant definitions (as of Dec. 31, 2009, this
     ratio was 212.9%);

  -- Net debt to recurring operating EBITDA sustains above 7.5x
     (as of Dec. 31, 2009, this ratio was 6.9x).

These factors may result in positive momentum on Duke's ratings:

  -- Same store NOI returns to positive territory for several
     quarters and fixed charge coverage rises above 1.7x;

  -- Net debt to recurring operating EBITDA sustains at or below
     6.5x;

  -- Unencumbered asset coverage is maintained above 200%.


DUNE ENERGY: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $185.1 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dune Energy, Inc., filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 25, 2010.

The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, showed
$372.6 million in assets, $372.9 million of debts, and
$184.8 million in redeemable convertible preferred stock, for a
stockholders' deficit of $185.1 million.

The Company reported a net loss of $59.1 million on $64.9 million
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a
net loss of $141.1 million on $146.6 million of revenue for 2008.
Dune recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of
$125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily
related to dramatically lower commodity prices at year end 2008
versus the same level in 2007 resulting in significant impairment
in two of the Company's major fields.

The primary reasons behind the decrease in revenue were lower
production and lower average sales prices in 2009 versus 2008.  In
2009, oil production decreased 18% from 2008 levels and gas
production declined 15%.  Oil prices declined 41% and gas prices
declined 55% in 2009 versus 2008.

EL PASO: Fitch Assigns 'BBB-' Issuer Default Rating to EPBO
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BBB-' rating to El Paso Pipeline
Partners Operating Company LLC's proposed $425 million senior
notes.  Fitch has also assigned an Issuer Default Rating of 'BBB-'
to EPBO.  Proceeds from the offering are going to be used to
acquire 51% interests in El Paso Corp.'s (IDR 'BB+' with a Stable
Outlook) Southern LNG and Elba Express subsidiaries.  The Rating
Outlook is Stable.

EPBO is a wholly owned operating subsidiary of El Paso Pipeline
Partners, L.P., a Delaware master limited partnership formed in
November 2007 by El Paso Corporation to own and operate natural
gas transportation pipelines and storage assets.  EPBO conducts
business through its interest in various natural gas pipeline and
storage systems including a 100% interest in Wyoming Interstate
Gas Company L.L.C, a 58% interest in Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (IDR: 'BBB-' with a Stable Outlook) and a 25% interest in
Southern Natural Gas Company (SNG; IDR: 'BBB-' with a Stable
Outlook).  Pro-forma for the acquisition EPBO's holdings will
include a 51% interest in SLNG and a 51% interest in Elba Express.

The ratings recognize the expected stability of EPBO's earnings
and cash flows which are supported by a lower business risk asset
base consistent with predominantly FERC regulated pipeline assets.
Currently, 90% of EPBO's revenue is generated from capacity
reservation type contracts with a weighted average contract life
of seven years limiting re-contracting risk in the near to
intermediate term.  Pro-forma for the announced transaction Fitch
expects the percentage of capacity reservation type contracts and
weighted average contract life will improve.  Additionally,
roughly 94% of EPBO's contracts are with investment grade
counterparties which limits counterparty exposure.  EPBO's
pipeline subsidiaries exhibit consistent cash flow, low business
risk and strong credit metrics.  The existing credit ratings at
CIG and SNG, however, continue to be limited to a one notch
separation from EP due to their significant operating and
financial affiliations to EP.

In addition to providing EPB consistent cash flow, the company's
assets have geographic diversity from both a supply and demand
perspective.  EPB's assets, including SLNG and Elba Express, all
have strong market positions and connectivity in key supply/demand
areas with CIG and WIC serving the Rockies basin and SNG, SLNG and
Elba serving the southeastern U.S. Gas volumes shipped in both of
these regions are expected to grow in the next five years and the
diversity of the asset base should limit exposure to shifting
natural gas supply/demand dynamics.

The ratings recognize that the cash flows up to EPBO from its
subsidiaries are subordinate to the operating needs and debt
service obligations at SLNG, CIG, SNG and Elba Express.  However,
as regulated pipeline and storage entities, the working capital,
operating and maintenance expenses are relatively low and each of
the entities possess moderate leverage and high quality cash flow
which minimizes the impact of this structural subordination in
Fitch's view.

The ratings consider that El Paso, pro forma for the transaction,
will own EPB's 2% general partner interest, all of EPB's incentive
distribution rights, a 62% percent limited partner interest in
EPB, including both common and subordinated units, the remaining
42% general partner interest in CIG, 75% general partner interest
in SNG and 49% member interests in each of SLNG and Elba Express
not owned by EPB.  EP, as general partner, sponsor and the
operating entity that controls EPB and EPBO, controls board of
director and management actions including setting the levels of
partnership distributions, amending the partnership agreement and
generally dictating strategy and capital structure decisions.  As
such EP could pressure EPB to increase its distributions or
leverage should EP's capital needs warrant it.  Fitch, however,
does not anticipate any deviation from EP's current conservative
distribution, operating and acquisition policies at EPB.
Nevertheless, the functional and operational ties to EP link
EPBO's ratings and the ratings of the operating partnerships to
those of EP and warrant a one notch separation.  Any rating
action, either positive or negative, would likely result in a
similar rating action at EPBO.

Fitch recognizes EP as a supportive sponsor and general partner of
EPB has operated and managed the financial growth of the
partnership conservatively.  EP has already completed two separate
drop downs into EPB since EPB's 2007 IPO and has exhibited a
willingness to take back limited partner units, rather than cash
to facilitate an accretive transaction.  Additionally, the
partnership has maintained strong distribution coverage in well
excess of 1.0 times (x), a practice which is expected to continue
following the announced transaction.  Fitch believes that EP's
asset base provides a significant amount of drop down
opportunities and that EPB's asset base present a fair amount of
organic growth opportunities for the partnership.

Liquidity at the partnership is adequate.  In support of its
liquidity needs EPBO has a $750 million revolving credit facility
under which WIC and EPB are authorized borrowers.  As of Dec. 31,
2009, availability under the revolver was $215 million this is not
expected to be radically different following the transaction.  The
credit facility has a November 2012 maturity and a single
financial covenant that requires the company to maintain
Debt/EBITDA of less than 5.0x on a last 12-month basis.  Roughly
$236 million in proceeds from a January 2010 limited partner unit
issuances along with the proceeds from the senior note issuance
and units issued to EP are expected to be the source of funds used
to complete the SLNG and Elba Express acquisition.

Fitch has assigned these ratings to EPBO:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating 'BBB-';
  -- Senior unsecured debt 'BBB-';

The Ratings Outlook is Stable.


EL PASO: Moody's Gives 'Ba1' Corporate Family Rating to EPBO
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned first time ratings to El Paso
Pipeline Partners Operating Company L.L.C., the operating
subsidiary of El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P.  The ratings are
assigned to EPB Operating and include a Ba1 Corporate Family
Rating, a Ba1 (LGD 4, 50%) to new senior unsecured notes, a Ba1
Probability of Default Rating, and a SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating.  The outlook is stable.

The new notes (which are being issued by EPB Operating and are
guaranteed by EPB) will be used to partially fund the acquisition
of assets from El Paso Corp. (Ba3 CFR), the General Partner, and
majority Limited Partner units holder.  EPB is acquiring a 51%
equity interest in each of Southern LNG Company, L.L.C., and El
Paso Elba Express Company, L.L.C., from El Paso Corp for
approximately $810 million.  Proceeds from the $425 million of new
senior unsecured notes, along with $236 million of cash on hand
from a January equity issuance, $149 million of new LP units to be
issued to EP, $3 million GP capital contribution, and $3 million
of borrowings under the revolver will fund the entire "drop-down"
of assets from EP.

"The Ba1 CFR reflects a stand-alone business profile that is
comparable to an investment grade profile, juxtaposed with a
combination of structural complexity, indirect access to the
assets by the debt holders of EPB, and the interconnection to El
Paso Corp. (Ba3 CFR)," said Ken Austin, Moody's Senior Credit
Officer.

Under Moody's Loss Given Default methodology, the new notes are
rated Ba1, the same as the CFR because all of the debt at EPB
Operating being unsecured.  The subsidiary debt, though
significant, is not factored into the LGD liability waterfall
since it's considered non-recourse to EPB.  Generally, non-
recourse debt is not included in the liability waterfall.

EPB's assets consist of 100% of the equity interest in Wyoming
Interstate Company, Ltd. (WIC, unrated), a 58% interest in
Colorado interstate Gas (CIG, rated Baa3) and 25% for Southern
Natural Gas (SNG, rated Baa3), all FERC regulated pipeline assets.
EPB is also acquiring a 51% interest in SLNG and a 51% equity
interest in Elba Express.  SLNG owns the Elba Island LNG terminal,
a liquefied natural gas terminal with fixed fee service agreements
with affiliates of Shell and BG Group.  Elba Express owns the Elba
Express pipeline, a 190-mile pipeline that transports natural gas
from the Elba Island LNG terminal to major markets via other main
pipelines owned by EP.  The capacity of Elba Express is fully
contracted by affiliates of Shell under long-term contracts.

On a 100% owned basis, this asset base and the cash flow
generating capabilities compare favorably to higher rated
midstream and natural gas pipeline companies as they are
considered to be very durable with very little direct commodity
price exposure.  The EBITDA contribution from the underlying
holdings is expected to be fairly balanced although Moody's
expects that CIG and SNG will generate the majority of EBITDA in
2011.

However, this ownership structure makes EPB distinct relative to
other MLPs, which tend to own 100% of the majority of their
assets.  Given that there is a significant amount of structural
complexity through these equity interests and the fact that EP is
the General Partner of EPB, owns the majority of the L.P. units of
EPB, and also owns the remaining equity interests in EPB's assets,
the ratings reflect this close interconnection to EP and its
significant influence.  Unlike the natural gas pipelines that
Moody's rate investment grade on a stand-alone basis, the
additional feature of the MLP distributions and the lack of 100%
ownership of the equity interests in the assets results in the CFR
being two levels above El Paso Corp. but one below the Baa3 rating
on the pipelines.

Although Moody's does not expect any near-term changes to the way
EPB will run its assets compared to when El Paso owned them, the
MLP structure does bring an equity call on capital that did not
exist under EP's corporate ownership.  Furthermore, under this
ownership structure, these assets are effectively helping to
support and service three different groups of creditors, resulting
in added pressure to keep the distributions strong at EPB.  Aside
from the debt at the individual subsidiary level, the EBP MLP debt
and part of EP's own debt are reliant on these cash flows.  While
Moody's are not including any of EP's debt in Moody's leverage
metrics, Moody's view is that there is an element of added
defective leverage with this structure.

The financial profile of EPB is comparable to similarly rated
peers.  Pro forma for the acquisition of SLNG and Elba Express,
EPB's adjusted debt/EBITDA will be around 5.0x based on FY 2009
EBITDA.  Although a bit high, this leverage is expected to decline
to around 4.6x by year-end 2010 due to the EBITDA contribution
from the recent start-up of the Elba Express pipeline and the
Phase IIIA expansion at Elba Island LNG.  To calculate this
leverage ratio, Moody's is using a proportionate calculation for
EBITDA but is loading 100% of the debt for the controlled
subsidiaries plus 25% of SNG's debt as well as Moody's standard
adjustments to reflect a fuller picture of the debt burden of
these earnings and cash flows.

The stable outlook assumes that EPB will continue to run the
assets similarly to how they were run by EP and that leverage
(Debt/EBITDA) will trend towards the 4.0x range over the next 12
to 18 months with a full year of earnings contribution from Elba
Express and the recent Phase IIIA expansion at SLNG.

The SGL-3 rating reflects Moody's expectation that EPB will have
sufficient liquidity between its revolver availability and
expected cash flows to cover its planned capital spending,
interest, unit distribution, and working capital needs over the
next twelve months.  Although EPB will distribute most of the cash
flow it generates to its unit holders and general partner
resulting in it outspending cash flow, the senior unsecured
revolving credit facility has sufficient availability to cover the
shortfall.  In addition, the company is expected to remain in
compliance with its maintenance covenants, ensuring accessibility.

subsidiary holding company for Partners, L.P., a Master Limited
Partnership headquartered in Houston, Texas.

FLINT TELECOM: Posts $10.1 Million Net Loss in Q2 Ended Dec. 31

FORD MOTOR: Reaches Deal to Sell Volvo Cars and Assets to Geely
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell
Volvo Car Corporation and related assets to Zhejiang Geely Holding
Group Company Limited.

The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, and is
subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of
applicable regulatory approvals.

The purchase price for Volvo Cars and related assets (primarily
intellectual property) is $1.8 billion (U.S.), which will be paid
in the form of a note in the amount of $200 million (U.S.), and
the remainder in cash.  The cash portion of the purchase price
will be adjusted at close for customary purchase price adjustments
relating to pension deficits, debt, cash and working capital, the
net effect of which could be a significant decrease in the cash
proceeds to Ford.

"Volvo is a great brand with an excellent product lineup.  This
agreement provides a solid foundation for Volvo to continue to
build its business under Geely's ownership," said Alan Mulally,
Ford's president and CEO.  "At the same time, the sale of Volvo
will allow us to further sharpen our focus on building the Ford
brand around the world and continue to deliver on our One Ford
plan serving our customers with the very best cars and trucks in
the world."

Ford will continue to cooperate with Volvo Cars in several areas
after the sale has been completed in order to ensure a smooth
transition, but will not retain any ownership in the Volvo Cars
business.

Following completion of the sale, Ford will continue to supply
Volvo Cars with, for differing periods, powertrains, stampings and
other vehicle components.

As part of the sale, Ford also has committed to provide
engineering support, information technology, access to tooling for
common components, and other selected services for a transition
period to ensure a smooth separation process.

Ford and Geely have established agreements to govern the use of
intellectual property; these agreements will allow both Volvo and
Ford to deliver their business plans and provide appropriate
safeguards against misuse.  These agreements also will allow Volvo
Cars to grant sublicenses to certain portions of Ford's
intellectual property used by Volvo Cars to third parties,
including Geely.

"The Volvo team has done an exceptional job of restructuring its
business and remaining focused on delivering its plan during the
sale process," said Lewis Booth, Ford's chief financial officer.
"With Ford's continued investment in Volvo, it has launched its
best-ever product range and remained true to its core values --
safety, quality, environmental responsibility and modern
Scandinavian design.

"We look forward to continuing to work with Volvo Cars, and wish
the management team, employees and new owners every success for
the future."

"Zhejiang Geely would like to pay tribute to Ford's stewardship of
the Volvo brand, and we look forward to continued cooperation as
Volvo embarks on the next stage of its evolution with Geely," said
Li Shufu, chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company
Limited.

Stephen Odell, CEO of Volvo Cars, added, "The Volvo management
team fully endorses Ford's sale of Volvo Cars to Geely.  We
believe this is the right outcome for the business, and will
provide Volvo Cars with the necessary resources, including the
capital investment, to strengthen the business and to continue to
move it forward in the future.

"Geely has been very supportive of Volvo Cars' business plans and
management team.  We look forward to building a strong
relationship between Volvo Cars and Geely, and to maintaining a
strong relationship with Ford in those areas where we will
continue to work together to ensure a smooth transition."

                     About Ford Motor

Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) --
http://www.ford.com/-- manufactures or distributes automobiles
across six continents.  With about 200,000 employees and about 90
plants worldwide, the company's automotive brands include Ford,
Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo.  The Company provides financial
services through Ford Motor Credit Company.

At Sept. 30, 2009, the Company had US$203.106 billion in total
assets against US$210.376 billion in total liabilities.

On March 4, 2009, Ford deferred future interest payments on its
6.50% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due January 15,
2032, beginning with the April 15, 2009 quarterly interest
payment.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 18, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service raised Ford's Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) and Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to B2 from B3,
secured credit facility to Ba2 from Ba3, senior unsecured debt to
B3 from Caa1, trust preferred to Caa1 from Caa2, and Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3. Also raised is Ford
Credit's senior debt rating to B1 from B2.

On Nov. 3, 2009, S&P raised the corporate credit ratings on Ford
Motor Co. and Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  Ford
Motor Co. carries a long-term issuer default rating of 'CCC', with
a positive outlook, from Fitch Ratings.


FOXCO ACQUISITION: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
FoxCo Acquisition LLC and its operating subsidiary, FoxCo
Acquisition Sub LLC (which S&P analyzes on a consolidated basis)
to stable from negative.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its
ratings on the company, including the 'B-' corporate credit
rating.

"The outlook change reflects a recent pickup in advertising
demand, which should improve FoxCo's credit metrics, as well as
its ability to maintain adequate liquidity and compliance with
covenants under its credit agreement," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.

The rating reflects FoxCo's high debt leverage, intermediate-term
risks regarding covenant compliance, thin EBITDA coverage of
interest, discretionary cash flow deficits, high sensitivity to
election cycles, and TV broadcasting's mature revenue growth
prospects.  FoxCo's good local news position in most markets and
its mostly top-50 market station portfolio do not offset these
negative rating factors.

FoxCo owns and operates TV stations in eight midsize markets--
designated market areas rank from No. 17 (Cleveland, Ohio) to No.
58 (Richmond, Va.).  Seven of the company's stations are
affiliated with the Fox network, and one is affiliated with CBS,
resulting in some performance vulnerability to Fox's audience
ratings.  The company also operates two CW stations in Denver and
St. Louis under local marketing agreements with Tribune
Broadcasting.  Sensitivity to political spending is high, and the
company's EBITDA can drop by 15% to 20% in typical nonelection
years.  S&P expects that 2009 results will include an EBITDA
decline of about 40% from continued recessionary pressures on
advertising spending, on top of a decline in political
advertising.  FoxCo's Fox and CBS stations have either a No. 1 or
No. 2 late news ranking in all eight markets, which is important
to station profitability and to its ability to attract political
advertising.

Pro forma EBITDA coverage of interest for the 12 months ended
Sept. 30, 2009, was very thin, at 1.1x.  S&P expects the company
to report a contraction in full-year 2009 interest coverage to
0.8x, with the company using cash balances to pay interest.  Pro
forma debt to EBITDA was very high for the 12 months ended
Sept. 30, 2009, at 8.6x.  S&P expects year-end results will show
that leverage reached 11x by the end of 2009 based on weak
advertising demand and a lack of political advertising.  S&P
expects credit metrics to improve somewhat in 2010 with increases
in local, national, and political advertising revenue.

FUSION TELECOM: Posts $15.6 Million Net Loss in 2009
----------------------------------------------------
Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc., filed its annual
report on Form 10-K, showing a net loss of $9.6 million on
$40.9 million of revenue for 2009, compared with a net loss
$15.6 million on $49.5 million of revenue for 2008.

The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, showed
$5.4 million in assets and $12.7 million of debts, for a
stockholders' deficit of $7.3 million.

Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C., in Roseland, N.J., expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has had negative working capital balances, incurred negative cash
flows from operations and net losses since inception, and has
limited capital to fund future operations.

GENCORP INC: February 28 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $273.5MM
--------------------------------------------------------------
On March 26, 2010, GenCorp. Inc. filed its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the three months ended February 28, 2010.

The Company's balance sheet as of February 28, 2010, showed
$1.019 billion in assets, $1.287 billion of debts, and
$5.5 million of redeemable common stock, for a stockholders'
deficit of $273.5 million.

The Company reported a net loss of $8.9 million on $186.8 million
of revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared
with net income of $19.4 million on $170.9 million of revenue for
the same period ended February 28, 2009.

The decrease in operating results was primarily due to an increase
of $11.9 million in non-cash retirement benefit expense in the
first quarter of 2010 and an income tax benefit of $20.5 million
in the first quarter of 2009 primarily resulting from new guidance
clarifying which costs qualify for ten-year carryback of tax net
operating losses for refund of prior years' taxes.  Higher sales
volume on numerous space and defense programs generated the
increase in net sales, partially offset by a decline in deliveries
under the Atlas V program.

GEORGIA-PACIFIC LLC: Moody's Upgrades Corp. Family Rating to 'Ba2'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Georgia-Pacific LLC's Corporate
Family Rating, Probability of Default Rating and its senior
guaranteed notes to Ba2 from Ba3, its secured bank facilities to
Ba1 from Ba2 and its unsecured notes and debentures to Ba3 from
B2.  The outlook is stable.  The upgrade primarily recognizes the
company's rapid de-leveraging achieved through absolute debt pay
downs and strong financial performance through challenging
economic conditions over the last two years.  GP's leverage, as
measured by Debt/EBITDA, had improved to 3.6x (Moody's adjusted)
at year-end 2009 compared to 5.6x in the prior two years.
Although the expiration of the black liquor tax credit will limit
GP's ability to significantly pay down debt going forward, Moody's
believes that steps taken by management to improve operational
efficiencies and rationalize its cost structure will allow the
company to maintain credit protection measures in line with its
Ba2 rating.

GP's Ba2 CFR reflects the company's significant scale, diverse
product offering, leading market positions in a number of distinct
business segments, a stable aggregate cash flow stream and good
alternate sources of liquidity.  The Ba2 CFR incorporates the
strength and resiliency of its consumer products segment, the
stability of its packaging business and a building products
segment that held up relatively strongly through the US housing
market slowdown.  GP's Ba2 CFR also derives support from its
vertically integrated relatively low cost asset base and the
sponsorship benefits provided by its parent, Koch Industries.  The
ratings are constrained by the refinancing risks of the company's
debt load, the considerable pension deficit, and continuing weak
volume trends for many of the company's products.

GP has good liquidity supported by its strong cash position,
substantial availability under its credit facility and
expectations of continued positive free cash flow generation.
GP's liquidity profile also derives support from strong
alternative liquidity potential from asset sales.  Considerable
refinancing risk remains over the intermediate term with
approximately 45% of the company's debt maturing by the end of
2012.  GP's primary source of liquidity continues to be its
broadly syndicated $1.675 billion revolving credit facility, of
which $1.25 billion matures in October 2012 and the remainder in
December 2010.  The company also has a $700 million domestic
accounts receivable facility and a EUR110 million European
accounts receivable facility.  The company has reasonable headroom
under its financial covenants and no compliance issues are
expected over the near term.

The stable rating outlook primarily reflects the expectation that
GP's operational execution and financial performance will continue
to be strong and the company's credit protection measures will
remain appropriate to support a Ba2 rating over the near-to-mid
term.

GREEKTOWN HOLDINGS: Stout Risius "Nunc Pro Tunc" Hiring Denied
--------------------------------------------------------------
netDockets reports that Judge Walter Shapero of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan entered an
opinion and an order on Friday denying an application filed by
Greektown Holdings, L.L.C., to retain Stout Risius Ross as real
property appraisers nunc pro tunc to January 19, 2009.

netDockets says the central issue causing the nunc pro tunc
request in the application to be controversial was that the
application was not filed until November 20, 2009, 10 months after
Stout Risius Ross started its work and even apparently two to
three months after the firm's work was completed.  In this case,
Judge Shapero found that the delay was simply too long to meet the
standard for approval of a nunc pro tunc engagement.

netDockets relates Stout Risius Ross was engaged by Greektown
Holdings to perform two real property appraisals of a parking
garage located at 1001 Brush Street and a parking lot located at
422 E. Lafayette, both in Detroit, Michigan.  While the debtors
initially determined that the appraisals were necessary for the
development of a plan of reorganization, upper management later
determined that the appraisals were unnecessary.  That decision
was not, however, "communicated to those in the organization who
were engaged with SRR, causing the appraisals to move forward" and
the appraisals were completed in July or August at a cost of
$13,000.  Following Greektown's management or its professionals
becoming aware that the appraisals were completed, apparently in
response to discovery requests, Greektown filed the application
seeking nunc pro tunc employment of Stout Risius Ross.  The United
States Trustee objected.

According to netDockets, Judge Shapero notes that Greektown makes
these unchallenged assertions in the application:

     -- "the appraisal services have been valuable in their
        efforts to reorganize,"

     -- Stout Risius Ross "has significant qualifications and
        experience in delivering appraisal services in chapter 11
        cases," and

     -- "to the best of Debtors' knowledge and belief, [Stout
        Risius Ross] does not have any connection with any party
        with an interest in this case."

According to netDockets, the standard for approval of employment
nunc pro tunc requires "exceptional circumstances."   After noting
that the Sixth Circuit has been silent as to the standard for
determining when nunc pro tunc employment is appropriate, Judge
Shapero considered the nine-factor test from In re Twinton
Properties Partnership, 27 B.R. 817 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn. 1983).
However, he noted that the test has been "criticized on several
grounds" and ultimately determined that the test "is at best a
useful guide in determining whether to grant a nunc pro tunc
application."

According to netDockets, in determining to deny the application,
the court acknowledged that "the appraisals benefited the
bankruptcy estate to some degree," but determined that the
explanation for the delay in filing the application was
unsatisfactory.  In so finding, he held that "[m]ere negligence
does not constitute an exceptional circumstance justifying the
entry of a retroactive order" and noted that Stout Risius Ross
"has extensive experience in Chapter 11 cases, suggesting they
should have been aware of the need for prior court approval before
commencing their services."  Ultimately, he determined that
allowing the nunc pro tunc application based upon the facts of the
case would cause the "exceptional circumstances" exception to
"swallow[] the rule" and render "the clear statutory mandate . . .
virtually meaningless."

GOLDSPRING INC: To Mail Consent for Reverse Stock Split
-------------------------------------------------------
GoldSpring, Inc., will mail consent solicitation statements on or
about March 29, 2010, to its stockholders of record as of the
close of business on March 1, 2010.  The consent solicitation
statements will be sent to stockholders of GoldSpring for the
purpose of granting its Board of Directors the authority to effect
a reverse stock split of the company's issued and outstanding
common stock, if and when determined by the Board of Directors in
a ratio of 1:200, without a corresponding reduction in the number
of authorized shares of the GoldSpring's common stock.  If
effected, the number of shares of common stock held by each
stockholder prior to the reverse stock split would be reduced by
dividing the number of shares held immediately before the reverse
stock split by 200, and then rounding up the nearest whole share.
The consent of a majority of stockholders is required to approve
such authority.   If approved, the reverse stock split could be
effected by the Board of Directors on or prior to December 31,
2011.

The proposed reverse stock split was proposed in connection with
the Company's efforts to effect an orderly restructuring of the
Company's balance sheet and capital structure.  The purpose of
restructuring the balance sheet is to provide sufficient shares to
meet the Company's outstanding obligations, such as reserving
sufficient shares to cover conversion of its current convertible
indebtedness as well as to reduce the number of outstanding shares
to a level which it believes is more in line with a typical
capital structure which would be more attractive to potential
future investors.  The Company also desires to have shares
available to raise further capital needed to achieve its business
plan and to possibly use as currency for future merger and
acquisition activity.

"We feel the proposed reverse stock split is central to the
Company's strategic plans to restructure the Company's balance
sheet and position the Company for future growth," stated William
J. Nance, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

                        Going Concern

At September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of $3,426,639
against total liabilities of $34,071,574, resulting in
stockholders' deficiency of $30,644,935.

The Company has year end losses from operations and had no
revenues from operations during the nine month ended September 30,
2009.  Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to
maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds
from private investors and the support of certain stockholders.

According to Goldspring, these factors raise substantial doubt
about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds
through sale of royalties, loans, additional sales of its common
stock or strategic joint venture arrangements.  There is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in raising
additional capital especially given the current general economic
conditions domestically and abroad.

HARMAN INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Affirms 'B1' Corp. Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the debt ratings of Harman
International Industries, Incorporated, Corporate Family rating
and Probability of Default Rating at B1, and changed the company's
outlook to positive from negative.  The Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating was raised to SGL-2.

The positive outlook reflects the strong operating performance and
resulting credit metrics for the company's most recent quarter,
and the expectation of further improvement in performance as
automotive demand trends strengthen.  The company's recent
quarterly performance was supported by a strong pace of new
platform growth in the automotive segment, a recovery in
automotive production levels, and the beneficial effect of
restructuring actions taken in fiscal year 2009.  The outlook also
considers Moody's expectation of improved performance across
Harman's other business lines driven by recovering demand as
global economic conditions stabilize.  In addition, the company's
leverage and interest coverage metrics should benefit from the pay
down of outstandings under the multi-currency revolving credit
after receiving an amendment to the debt incurrence test under the
convertible notes in January 2010.

In affirming the B1 rating with a positive outlook Moody's
considered the short duration of the company's improved
performance following the sharp decline in global automotive
demand in 2009.  Harman's recent level of platform launches is not
expected to continue at the same pace over the near-term, which
will offer some opportunity for further margin improvement.
Moody's expects European automotive production to be adversely
impacted by the pull-ahead impact of 2009 scrappage programs and
the reduction in inventories.  However, this impact should affect
automotive production of small- to medium-sized cars in Europe,
away from Harman's core focus of larger cars and luxury sedans.
Harman's ability to continue to generate improving operating
results and credit metrics on higher automotive production
volumes, and from the ongoing benefits of restructuring actions
taken in fiscal 2009, could support a higher Corporate Family
Rating over the near-term.

The SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating indicates the
expectation of a good liquidity profile over the next twelve
months.  As of December 31, 2009, the company maintained
$475 million of cash and cash equivalents.  In addition, Harman
maintained short-term investments of $155 million.  The high level
of cash and short-term investments resulted from the equity
issuance in the second calendar quarter of 2009, strong free cash
flow generation due to the release of working capital in calendar
2009, and $222 million of borrowings under the company's revolving
credit facility.  Harman elected to draw under the revolver in
advance of a potential violation of the debt incurrence test
contained in the indenture for its convertible notes.  In January
2010, Harman received an amendment to its convertible notes
eliminating the debt incurrence test with respect to borrowings
under the revolver.  The amendment will enable the company to re-
borrow under the facility even as LTM credit metrics remain below
the previous covenant thresholds.  With the benefit of the
amendment, Harman has repaid the outstanding amounts under the
revolver, but retains the liquidity support of being able to make
future drawings under the facility.  Moody's expects free cash
flow generation over the next twelve months to be modestly
positive given Harman's recent performance.  Free cash flow will
benefit from expected growth in the company's end-markets offset
by working capital and capital expenditure requirements.  As a
result of the revolver pay down and Harman's stronger operating
performance over the recent quarter, Moody's expects the company
to operate with sufficient headroom under the revolver's financial
covenants over the near-term to maintain financial flexibility.
Harman's capacity for additional borrowings outside of the multi-
currency revolving credit facility is limited by lien limitations
under this facility and a debt incurrence test under its
convertible notes.

Ratings raised:

Rating outlook to positive;

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

Ratings affirmed:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, at B1;

  -- Probability of Default Rating, at B1;

  -- Secured multi-currency revolving credit due December 2011, at
     Ba1 (LGD1, 9%)

The last rating action for Harman was on April 8, 2009 when the
Corporate Family Rating was lowered to B1.

Harman International Industries, Incorporated, headquartered in
Stamford, Conn., is a leading manufacturer of high quality, high
fidelity audio products and electronic systems for the consumer,
automotive, and professional markets.  Revenues for fiscal year
2009 were approximately $2.9 billion.


HAWKER BEECHCRAFT: Bank Debt Trades at 16% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Hawker Beechcraft
is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 84.05 cents-on-
the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26, 2010, according
to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 3.51 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Company
pays 200 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.
The bank loan matures on March 26, 2014, and carries Moody's Caa1
rating and Standard & Poor's CCC+ rating.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 185 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. 20, 2009,
Moody's affirmed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company LLC's Caa2
Corporate Family and Probability of Default ratings but lowered
the rating on the company's senior secured bank obligations to
Caa1 from B3 following announcement of plans to expand the size of
its secured term loan.  At the same time, ratings on Hawker
Beechcraft's senior unsecured cash-pay and PIK election notes
(Caa3) and subordinated notes (Ca) were affirmed.  The company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating was changed to SGL-4,
designating weak liquidity, but is expected to improve once final
amounts sourced from an incremental term loan are known.  The
outlook was revised to negative.

The actions follow several developments: an amendment to the
company's revolving credit facility reducing the size of the
commitment and revising financial covenants, a proposed increase
of $200 million to an existing $1,271 million term loan,
disclosure of some $0.7 billion of non-cash impairment and other
charges during the company's third quarter.

On Nov. 19, 2009, the TCR stated that Standard & Poor's assigned
its 'CCC+' issue-level rating to Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Co.
LLC's proposed $200 million incremental term loan, the same as the
corporate credit rating on parent Hawker Beechcraft Inc., and a
'4' recovery rating, which indicates S&P's expectation of average
(30%-50%) recovery in a payment default scenario.  In addition,
S&P affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating on Wichita,
Kansas-based Hawker Beechcraft.  The company has about
$2.15 billion of debt.

S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on HBAC's existing senior
secured credit facilities to 'CCC+' from 'B-', the same as the
corporate credit rating on Hawker Beechcraft.  S&P lowered the
recovery rating on this debt to '4' from '2', indicating its
expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.  At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'CCC-' issue-level
rating on HBAC's senior unsecured and subordinated notes, two
notches below the corporate credit rating on Hawker Beechcraft.
The recovery rating on the senior unsecured and subordinated debt
remains at '6', indicating S&P's expectation of negligible (0%-
10%) recovery in a payment default scenario.

The outlook is negative.  S&P could lower the ratings if the
market for business jets deteriorates further, leading to reduced
earnings, cash generation, and liquidity, resulting in cash on
hand and revolver availability falling below $200 million.

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


HOFFMASTER GROUP: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family and
probability of default ratings to Hoffmaster Group, Inc.  Moody's
also assigned a B1 rating to Hoffmaster's new senior secured
credit facilities which include a $30 million revolving credit
facility and a $160 million first lien term loan as well as a Caa1
rating to its $90 million second lien term loan.  Proceeds from
the proposed financings will be used to repay the current
outstanding balance of the company's existing term loan,
subordinated debt and a seller note as well as pay a cash dividend
to Hoffmaster's shareholders, including Kohlberg & Company.  This
is a first time rating for Hoffmaster.  Final ratings will be
subject to Moody's review of final bank documentation.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"Hoffmaster's B2 corporate family rating reflects its modest
scale, narrow product focus, strong shareholder orientation offset
in part by its strong market presence in the foodservice channel,
diversified customer base in consumer retail and modest leverage
and improving profitability and cash flow," says Moody's Vice
President and Senior Credit Officer Janice Hofferber.  "While the
company's product portfolio consists of low-priced, high
frequency, disposable consumer necessities, its sales volume is
somewhat dependent on the level of consumer spending on away-from-
home dining and more discretionary party supplies," adds Janice
Hofferber.

The stable outlook reflects its strong foodservice franchise
despite the somewhat discretionary aspect and more competitive
risk profile of its consumer business.  While Moody's expects
growth to be modest over the next 12 to 18 months, the company
should be able to generate free cash flow despite a still
challenging economic environment.

These ratings of Hoffmaster were assigned:

  -- Corporate family rating at B2;

  -- Probability-of-default rating at B2;

  -- $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
     April 2015, at B1 (LGD 3, 33%);

  -- $160 million senior secured term loan due April 2016, at B1
     (LGD 3, 33%);

  -- $90 million second lien term loan due April 2018, at Caa1
     (LGD 5, 86%).

The rating outlook is stable.

Headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Hoffmaster is a leading niche
manufacturer and supplier of decorative tableware products sold
through the foodservice and retails.  The company's primary
products include paper napkins, placement, tablecovers, plates,
cups, bowls and guest towels as well as cutlery and accessory
items sold under the Hoffmaster, Touch of color, Party Creations,
Sensations, Paper Art and FashnPoint brand names.  Sales for the
twelve month period ending December 27, 2009, were approximately
$306 million.  Hoffmaster's equity sponsor is Kohlberg & Company.


HSN INC: S&P Changes Outlook to Stable; Affirms 'BB-' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
HSN Inc. to stable from negative.  At the same time, S&P is
affirming all ratings on the company, including the 'BB-'
corporate credit rating.

"The outlook revision is a result of HSNi's good operating
performance in the fourth quarter of 2009, S&P's expectation of
growth in 2010, and increased financial flexibility, with growing
cash and cash equivalent balances -- currently about $270 million
-- and an adequate margin of compliance with financial covenants,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu.

The 'BB-' rating reflects HSNi's inconsistent performance over the
past several years, its lower profitability relative to its
closest peer, and intense rivalry among retailers.  High barriers
to entry in TV shopping, moderate debt leverage, and positive
discretionary cash flow are modest positive factors.

St. Petersburg, Fla.-based HSNi consists of two main operations:
HSN and Cornerstone Brands.  HSN is a retailer of consumer
products, which are marketed and sold on TV shopping programs and
increasingly over the Internet, which accounts for about one-third
of segment sales.  S&P expects that the proportion of sales from
the Internet will continue to increase.  Cornerstone is a holding
company for catalog operators.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, lease-adjusted total debt to
EBITDA and lease-adjusted EBITDA coverage of interest were good at
2.0x and 5.0x, respectively.  These are significantly improved
from levels at the end of 2008, which were 3.9x and 2.7x,
respectively.  HSN has a stated intention to maintain total debt
to EBITDA (not adjusted for operating leases) at 2.0x to 3.0x,
translating roughly to a range of between 2.5x and 3.5x when
capitalizing operating leases.

Conversion of EBITDA to discretionary cash flow was strong in
2009, at 78% -- up from 61% in 2008.  The increase was mainly due
to favorable working capital movement and improved operating
performance.  The favorable working capital movement was from
better inventory and accounts payable management.  S&P doesn't
expect that working capital will be a meaningful contributor to
cash flow generation in 2010.  If HSNi experiences good growth
this year, working capital could actually be a negative for
discretionary cash flow.

INT'L LEASE FINANCE: Plueger to Retire; Lund Becomes Interim CEO
----------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc., and International Lease
Finance Corporation said Friday that John Plueger will retire,
effective immediately.

Mr. Plueger assumed the CEO position on February 5, when then-ILFC
director and CEO Steven F. Udvar-Hazy announced his retirement.

"On behalf of AIG, I would like to thank John for his tireless
service to ILFC," said Robert H. Benmosche, AIG President and
Chief Executive Officer.

Douglas M. Steenland, non-executive Chairman of the ILFC Board of
Directors, said, "We are grateful for the work John has done to
continue ILFC's leadership in the industry."

ILFC Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer Alan Lund will
succeed Mr. Plueger as ILFC's interim President and Chief
Executive Officer, and Mr. Benmosche said that AIG expects a
smooth transition as AIG conducts a search for a permanent
successor.  In addition, ILFC Senior Vice President-Finance Fred
Cromer will succeed Mr. Lund as ILFC CFO.

Mr. Lund has worked at ILFC for 28 years, the entire time as CFO,
and has served as Vice Chairman and CFO since 2002.  Prior to
joining ILFC, Mr. Lund worked for the company currently known as
Deloitte & Touche as an Audit Manager and for California-World
Financial Corporation as Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer.  Mr. Lund graduated from Whittier College in 1971 with a
B.A. in Business Administration. He became a Certified Public
Accountant, State of California, in 1973.

Prior to joining ILFC in July 2008, Mr. Cromer spent 17 years in
various airline finance and planning positions at ExpressJet
Airlines, Continental Airlines, and Northwest Airlines.  Most
recently, he served as Vice President and CFO of ExpressJet
Airlines.  Mr. Cromer received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics
from the University of Michigan and a Master of Business
Administration in Finance from DePaul University.

"ILFC and AIG are confident in the long term potential of ILFC as
a leader in its marketplace," Mr. Benmosche said.  "Recently, ILFC
raised $1.3 billion in secured term loans and $2 billion in senior
unsecured notes, reflecting the strength of its underlying
business.  ILFC anticipates selling a limited number of aircraft
in the future in addition to issuing incremental debt as needed."

The Wall Street Journal's Joann S. Lublin and Serena Ng, and Dow
Jones Newswires' Doug Cameron report that federal pay restrictions
played a role in the surprise departure of Mr. Plueger, according
to people familiar with the matter.  These people, however, said
AIG expects to have little difficulty in filling the post, with
likely candidates coming from smaller rivals to its unit.

The sources said Mr. Plueger's retirement caught associates and
AIG insiders off guard.  The report says Mr. Plueger's decision
came shortly after U.S. pay czar Kenneth Feinberg announced 2010
pay determinations for top employees at AIG and other companies
that have received large amounts of U.S. aid.

credit ratings were downgraded below "AA" levels by Standard &
Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.  On
September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank created an
$85 billion credit facility to enable AIG to meet increased
collateral obligations consequent to the ratings downgrade, in
exchange for the issuance of a stock warrant to the Fed for 79.9%
of the equity of AIG.  The credit facility was eventually
increased to as much as $182.5 billion.

AIG has sold a number of its subsidiaries and other assets to pay
down loans received from the U.S. government, and continues to
seek buyers of its assets.

--------------------------------------------------------------

2009.

ITC^DELTACOM INC: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating on $325 Mil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to the proposed
$325 million second lien senior secured notes due 2016 of
ITC^DeltaCom Inc. and a Ba3 rating to its proposed $30 million
first lien senior secured revolving credit facility due 2015.

Moody's also affirmed the B3 corporate family rating, the SGL-1
speculative grade liquidity rating, and the positive outlook.
Moody's expects to withdraw ratings on the existing senior secured
credit facilities upon completion of the transaction.

A summary of the actions follows.

ITC^DeltaCom, Inc.

  -- Senior Secured First Lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Ba3,
     LGD1, 2%

  -- Senior Secured Second Lien Bonds, Assigned B3, LGD4, 51%

  -- Affirmed B3 Corporate Family Rating

  -- Affirmed B3 Probability of Default Rating

  -- Affirmed SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating

DeltaCom intends to use the proceeds of the new issuance to
refinance its $10 million first lien revolving credit facility due
2012, $225 million first lien term loan due 2013, and $75 million
second lien term loan due 2014.  The transaction negatively
impacts credit metrics slightly, with leverage increasing to about
4 times debt-to-EBITDA from about 3.9 times, and coverage and free
cash flow metrics will deteriorate somewhat based on expectations
for higher pricing on the proposed debt compared to the existing
capital structure.  However, the extension of maturities lessens
refinancing risk, given the July 2012 maturity of the existing
$10 million revolver (approximately $8.5 million outstanding) and
the July 2013 maturity of the existing term loan (approximately
$223 million outstanding).

The SGL-1 rating incorporates the substantial cash balance
(estimated at $75 million pro forma for the transaction),
available capacity under the proposed $30 million revolver
(expected to be undrawn at closing), and expectations for good
cushion under all financial covenants.

The positive outlook continues to reflect DeltaCom's fundamental
performance, demonstrated ability to maintain credit metrics
during the economic downturn, and expectations that it will
benefit from economic recovery in its markets.

The B3 corporate family rating incorporates relatively high
leverage for a CLEC, limited free cash flow, the challenging
competitive environment, moderate scale, and some regulatory risk.
DeltaCom's demonstrated ability to control costs, evidenced by
improved EBITDA margins and stable leverage during the economic
downturn, and its very good liquidity support the rating.  While
the company remains in a turnaround phase over the near term as it
shifts its revenue mix towards growth products, Moody's believe
that expansionary capital spending in recent years will drive
overall revenue growth in an improving employment environment.

Moody's would consider an upgrade if the company is successful in
further transforming its revenue mix, with expectations for
leverage sustained below 3.5 times and free cash flow in excess of
5% of debt.  The outlook could revert to stable with expectations
that leverage would remain around 4 times or that free cash flow
conversion would not improve.  Leverage approaching 5 times, a
meaningful deterioration in liquidity, or adverse regulatory
developments likely to result in reduced profitability could have
negative ratings implications.

Moody's most recent rating action on Deltacom occurred on
February 12, 2010, when Moody's affirmed the B3 corporate family
rating and positive outlook.

A competitive local exchange carrier headquartered in Huntsville,
AL, ITC^DeltaCom, Inc., serves small and medium-sized businesses
in 45 markets in 8 states in the southeastern United States.
DeltaCom generated approximately $470 million in revenue in 2009.


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

S&P also affirmed ITC's 'B' corporate credit rating.  The outlook
is stable.

"The refinancing provides some benefits to the company's credit
profile, including the removal of restrictive maintenance
covenants and an improved maturity schedule," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Catherine Cosentino.  S&P expected the
company to continue to meet financial covenants under the current
term loan, which tighten in 2010.

"However," added Ms. Cosentino, "the new notes contain no
maintenance covenants and the revolving credit maintenance
covenants will only be in effect upon a draw of this facility,
providing the company more flexibility to weather execution errors
or an unforeseen drop in the base of business." The new notes also
improve the company's overall liquidity by extending maturities of
a significant portion of the company's debt from 2013 to 2016.

Subsidiary InterState FiberNet Inc.'s secured bank loan, along
with unrated second-lien bank debt, will be refinanced with the
proceeds of the new issue and S&P will withdraw the 'B-' issue
rating and '5' recovery rating on the secured bank loan when the
refinancing closes.  Pro forma for the refinancing, the company
will have about $325 million of total funded debt outstanding.

impacts on operating results and cash flows from these actions

suspension of manufacturing; significant uncertainties related to
litigation and governmental inquiries; and debt covenant
violations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern."

KEY WEST BANK: Closed; Centennial Bank Assumes All Deposits
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key West Bank, Key West, Florida, was closed on March 26, 2010, by
the Office of Thrift Supervision, which appointed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect the
depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement with Centennial Bank, Conway, Arkansas, to assume all of
the deposits of Key West Bank.

The sole branch of Key West Bank reopened on Saturday as a branch
of Centennial Bank.  Depositors of Key West Bank will
automatically become depositors of Centennial Bank.  Deposits will
continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for
customers to change their banking relationship to retain their
deposit insurance coverage.  Customers should continue to use
their former Key West Bank branch until they receive notice from
Centennial Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow
other Centennial Bank branches to process their accounts as well.

As of December 31, 2009, Key West Bank had around $88.0 million in
total assets and $67.7 million in total deposits.  Centennial Bank
will pay the FDIC a premium of 0.50 percent to assume all of the
deposits of Key West Bank.  In addition to assuming all of the
deposits, Centennial Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of
the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and Centennial Bank entered into a loss-share transaction
on $75.8 million of Key West Bank's assets.  Centennial Bank will
share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-
share agreement.  The loss-share transaction is projected to
maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the
private sector.  The transaction also is expected to minimize
disruptions for loan customers.  For more information on loss
share, 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 1-800-830-4697.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/key-west.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $23.1 million.  Centennial Bank's acquisition of all the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to all alternatives.  Key West Bank is the 39th FDIC-

KT TERRAZA: Asks for Court Okay to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------
KT Terraza I, LLC, has sought authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to use
until May 31, 2010, the cash collateral securing their obligation
to their prepetition lenders.

Anthony J. Napolitano, Esq., at Buchalter Nemer, the attorney for
the Debtor, explains that the Debtor needs the money to fund its
Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.  The Debtor will
use the collateral pursuant to a budget, a copy of which is
available for free at:

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

The Debtor says that the value of its assets is primarily the
value of an undivided 30% tenant-in-common interest in nine multi-
family apartment complexes in Texas, Florida and South Carolina
(the Properties), and the rents derived therefrom.  The Debtor
states that its ability to maximize the value of these assets is
inextricably tied to maintaining the going concern value of Debtor
s business.  "If the Debtor doesn't have access to cash generated
by the Properties, it will not be able to complete the
repositioning of the Properties or address the ongoing repair,
maintenance and unit turnover expenses critical to maintaining a
competitive rental product.  Nor will Debtor have the necessary
resources to competitively market the Properties and rebuild their
tenant bases," the Debtor says.

General Electric Capital Corporation, the Debtor's senior secured
creditor, filed a pleading on January 19, 2010, stating that it
did not consent to use of cash collateral.

Los Angeles, California-based KT Terraza I, LLC, filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on March 16, 2010 (Bankr. C.D. Calif.
Case No. 10-19693).  Bernard D. Bollinger, Jr., Esq., at Buchalter
Nemer, assists the Company in its restructuring effort.  The
Company listed $50,000,001 to $100,000,000 in assets and
$100,000,001 to $500,000,000 in liabilities.

LAND O'LAKES: Moody's Reviews 'Ba1' Corporate Family Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the corporate debt ratings,
including the Ba1 Corporate Family Rating, of Land O'Lakes, Inc.,
and its subsidiaries under review for possible upgrade following
the agricultural cooperative's reporting of stable operating
performance for fiscal 2009, and its progress in strengthening its
balance sheet and financial controls.  The speculative grade
liquidity rating of SGL-3 remains unchanged.

The rating review will focus on Land O'Lakes' future strategic
direction, sustainability of operating profitability, and
financial flexibility of its capital structure.  Moody's also will
examine the measures the company has taken over the past year to
strengthen its financial controls and risk management practices.

Ratings under review for possible upgrade:

Land O'Lakes, Inc.:

  -- Corporate Family Rating at Ba1;

  -- Probability of Default Rating at Ba1;

$375 million senior secured bank revolving credit facility.

Land O'Lakes, Inc., based in Arden Hills, Minnesota, is an
agricultural cooperative focusing on dairy food, animal feed, and
agricultural crop inputs.  Revenues for the fiscal year ended

LIONS GATE: Commences Mailing of Proxy for Shareholder Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lionsgate commenced the mailing of its proxy for a Special Meeting
of Shareholders on May 4, 2010.  The Special Meeting will be held
at 10:00 a.m. local time in the Tudor Stuart Orange Room at the
Four Seasons Hotel, 21 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario.  At the
meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the Shareholder
Rights Plan previously adopted by the Board of Directors of
Lionsgate on March 12, 2010.  The record date for voting at the
meeting is March 23, 2010.

Lionsgate mailed the following letter to shareholders regarding
the Board's rejection of the unsolicited offer from Carl Icahn and
certain of his affiliated entities to purchase up to all of the
common shares of Lionsgate for US$6.00 per share and the approval
of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

March 26, 2010
Dear Fellow Lionsgate Shareholder:

As you know, on March 19, 2010, Carl Icahn and certain of his
affiliated entities (the "Icahn Group") announced a revision to
its unsolicited offer to acquire up to all of the common shares of
Lionsgate for U.S.$6.00 per share price -- the same price the
Icahn Group offered in its original unsolicited partial offer
which it commenced on March 1, 2010.

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of the
terms and conditions of the offer by the Special Committee of the
Board and by the Board, in consultation with their financial and
legal advisors, the Board, by unanimous vote of the directors
present at a meeting held on March 22, 2010, and upon the
unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, determined that
the Icahn Group's revised unsolicited offer, like the original
offer, is financially inadequate and coercive and is not in the
best interests of Lionsgate, its shareholders and other
stakeholders.

On May 4, 2010, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders, you will be
asked to vote to approve the Shareholder Rights Plan, which your
Board determined is in the best interests of Lionsgate, its
shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Board believes that the Shareholder Rights Plan is in the best
interests of the company, its shareholders and other stakeholders
and recommends that you vote FOR the Shareholder Rights Plan on
the WHITE Proxy Card.  In addition, your Board strongly recommends
that you do NOT tender your shares to the Icahn Group's offer.
The purpose of the Shareholder Rights Plan is to ensure, to the
extent possible, that all of Lionsgate's shareholders are treated
equally and fairly in connection with attempts to acquire
effective control of the Company, because those transactions may
be structured in a manner that results in shareholders being
subject to undue pressure in choosing whether to sell their
shares.

The Shareholder Rights Plan is triggered if any shareholder
obtains 20% (the threshold at which the Canadian takeover rules
are invoked, as being a "control threshold") of Lionsgate's common
shares without complying with the plan, in which case certain
rights will become exercisable that are likely to cause
significant dilution of the acquiring shareholder's ownership
stake.

The Shareholder Rights Plan does not prevent control transactions
but rather encourages certain types of takeover bids that treat
shareholders equally and fairly.  For example, a bid for all of
the Lionsgate common shares that meets certain criteria, including
that it is irrevocably conditioned on a tender of a majority of
the shares not held by the offeror (in this case, the Icahn Group)
and remains open for specified time periods, including after
shares are initially taken up pursuant to the offer.  This permits
a bid to proceed without board support if it is structured in a
manner that gives shareholders a fair opportunity to evaluate the
offer without any coercion resulting from the structure of the
bid.

To be clear, this is not a U.S. style shareholder rights plan that
provides a board with broad discretion over whether to permit a
bid. If the bid is accepted by a majority of "independent
shareholders" and meets the other criteria set out above, it can
proceed notwithstanding opposition from the Board and management.
The Board's rationale for rejecting the Icahn Group's unsolicited
offer is highlighted below:

                   Consistent Growth Strategy

The Lionsgate Board and management team are focused on leading the
Company and are committed to building value for all of our
shareholders.  Starting in 2000, the company laid out a
disciplined, three-phase business plan that has been the driver
behind Lionsgate's position as the leading next generation studio
in the entertainment industry.

Central to Phase 1 was the building of Lionsgate's library
foundation.  The company focused on accumulating valuable
libraries and expanding our motion picture business.  During Phase
2, it focus turned toward growing a diversified TV business that
included strong production, distribution and syndication
operations.  As a result of this strategy, Lionsgate has generated
numerous hit TV shows, including Mad Men, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, and
Blue Mountain State, all of which have been picked up for
subsequent seasons on leading networks.

The company is now in the early stages of Phase 3 integration and
is continuing to gain momentum.  The company is focused on
leveraging its content leadership and marketing prowess into
controlling its content destiny by building and partnering on our
suite of channel platforms, such as TV Guide, EPIX and Fear Net.
For example, two movies from our library, Dirty Dancing and Dirty
Dancing: Havana Nights, helped propel TV Guide Network to record
ratings in December 2009.

The company hit TV television series, Weeds, has just been sold to
TV Guide Network as one of the three series that will be anchoring
the fall 2010 line-up.  Many films from our library are now airing
on our EPIX multi-platform channel.

The company believe that its disciplined and opportunistic growth
strategy is paying off and we are eager to realize the results of
our long-term business plan and deliver value to our shareholders.
Since January 2000, Lionsgate stock has appreciated by 165%,
significantly outperforming its peers.  In comparison, over the
same timeframe, the S&P 500 declined 21% and the S&P 500 Media
Index declined 50%.(1)

              Strong Track Record of Successful Acquisitions

Over the past 10 years, as part of its overall business strategy,
acquisitions have been a key part of its growth plan.  The
Lionsgate Board and management have consistently exhibited a
disciplined approach to acquisitions.  In keeping with this
strategy, the Board and management continue to evaluate
transactions that it believes will improve the Company's business
and create significant value for all of its shareholders.
Recent transactions demonstrate the Board and management team's
proven ability to successfully acquire companies that have
enhanced Lionsgate's business and build value for shareholders:
Lionsgate UK (October 2005) is expected to contribute about
$12 million before overhead on projected revenues of over
$70 million this year.

Debmar-Mercury (August 2006) a television syndication company that
we bought for $27 million, continues to achieve success with our
own and third-party products.  It is expected to contribute
$13 million before overhead on projected revenues of $100 million
this year.

This year, Mandate Pictures (August 2007) a motion picture
production, distribution and sales company, is expected to
contribute a projected $14 million before overhead on projected
revenues of over $100 million.

Based upon increased ratings and traffic to TVGuide.com and new
distribution deals with Comcast and Charter, the company believe
that TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com (February 2009) are worth
significantly more than what it paid a year ago.  The company
expect TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com to generate $75 million
annually in EBITDA within three years.

           Ichan Group Seeks Control W/o Premium Payments

The Icahn Group's offer price of U.S.$6.00 per share represents a
premium of only 14.7% to the closing stock price prior to when the
Icahn Group intends to launch a tender offer for the Company.  The
Board believes that a premium of only 14.7% is insufficient for
the acquisition of control of Lionsgate.

In addition, the Board and senior management believe that
significant additional value will result from the continued
implementation of Lionsgate's business plan.  The views of sell
side analysts, whose average price target for Lionsgate shares is
$8.78 (which is for ongoing business and includes no control
premium) reinforces the inadequacy of the Icahn Group's offer.
The average price target of Wall Street analysts for the shares of
Lionsgate as of March 25, 2010 is 46.3% higher than the U.S.$6.00
per share offer price.   As of close of market on March 25, 2010,
Lionsgate shares were trading at $6.30.

THE ICAHN GROUP LACKS INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE AND ITS AMBITION TO RUN
OPERATIONS COULD HARM LIONSGATE AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT
The Icahn Group has limited, if any, experience in operating a
business in Lionsgate's industry.  Notwithstanding this lack of
demonstrated experience, the Icahn Group intends to replace the
Board and potentially the management team and to usurp the
decision making processes within the Company, including the green
lighting of film and TV projects, franchise development and
marketing.

The Icahn Group has not provided any clear and coherent vision for
Lionsgate. In a March 24, 2010 interview on CNBC, Carl Icahn
expressed his "vision" regarding Lionsgate's business:

Movies: Lionsgate "should not be producing movies."

TV: "You don't make a lot of money on these TV productions.TV does
not make a company a lot of money."
Distribution: The Company has "a good thing in the distribution
business," implying that the Company should limit itself to
distribution only.

                             Facts

Movies: Lionsgate has achieved profitability on approximately 70%
        of our film releases over the past ten years.

TV: The Lionsgate television business has grown from annual
    revenues of $8 million in 1999 to approximately $350 million
    this year at growing profitability.

Distribution: The company agree that having a worldwide
              distribution infrastructure is good.  But Mr. Icahn
              does not want Lionsgate to produce movies,
              television programming, or to purchase additional
              libraries-even at the right price.  This would
              leave us no proprietary content to put through a
              distribution system.

            Ichan Group Seeks to Interfere in Firm's Ops

The terms of Lionsgate's secured revolving credit facility with
its lenders provide that the acquisition of more than 20% of the
equity of Lionsgate by any person or group may constitute a
"change in control" -- a provision that lenders typically require
in banking agreements of this kind.  A change in control could
result in an event of default and the acceleration of Lionsgate's
outstanding debt under the credit facility.  By seeking to
increase his share ownership, the Icahn Group is risking
triggering this change in control clause.

If the Icahn Group is successful in its offer, or even partially
successful and its ownership crosses the 20% threshold, Lionsgate
could be required to repay all amounts then outstanding and could
lose its primary source of liquidity to fund operations.  This
would be detrimental to the Company.  Lionsgate would need to
immediately seek a replacement source of funding in order to
continue to operate its business as usual.

There is no assurance that Lionsgate would be able to obtain an
amendment, forbearance or waiver of the default provisions of the
credit facilities, nor is there assurance that a replacement
credit facility would be available on similarly favorable terms to
the existing facility, if at all.  It is likely that any waiver of
the change of control would come at the cost of increased interest
rates and/or fees for the Company's facility given the perception
of greater risk associated with Mr. Icahn's influence.

In connection with this risk, on March 24, 2010, S&P placed
Lionsgate's rating outlook on CreditWatch with negative
implications reflecting their concern that a successful tender
offer by the Icahn Group "could trigger an event of default, which
Lions Gate's banks could decide not to waive."

              Offer Creates Substantial Uncertainty

Despite changes to the Icahn Group's original offer, including the
fact that it is no longer a partial offer, it remains coercive and
limits shareholder choice.  The offer is structured such that the
minimum tender condition can be satisfied or waived, in the Icahn
Group's sole discretion, without there being a subsequent tender
period, such that shareholders will be unfairly pressured to
decide whether to tender to the offer without the knowledge of the
extent to which other shareholders have tender or whether the
Icahn Group will waive the condition and acquire effective
control.

In addition, there are numerous conditions to the Icahn Group's
offer (many of which may be waived) that create significant
uncertainty for Lionsgate's shareholders.

These aspects of the offer force shareholders to make decisions
about their investment in Lionsgate without full information, and
unduly pressure them to tender simply in order to avoid being left
with shares in a company effectively controlled by the Icahn

                      About Lions Gate

British Columbia-domiciled and Santa Monica, California-
headquartered Lions Gate is a leading, diversified independent
producer and distributor of motion pictures, home entertainment,
television programming and animation worldwide and holds a
majority interest in the pioneering CinemaNow VOD business. The
Lions Gate brand name is synonymous with original, cutting edge,
quality entertainment in markets around the world.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 10, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
Lions Gate to negative from stable.  At the same time, S&P
affirmed ratings on Lions Gate, including the 'B-' corporate
credit rating.

Lions Gate carries Moody's "B2" corporate family rating and
probability of default rating.


LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised Logan's Roadhouse Inc.'s rating
outlook to stable from negative, while affirming all its ratings,
including its B2 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
ratings and Ba3 senior secured ratings.

The revision of the rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation
that the company's credit metrics will likely remain consistent
with B2 rating category in the next twelve to eighteen months
despite continuing modest topline pressure.  The downward pressure
on the rating as contemplated in the previous negative outlook has
subsided largely due to Logan's relatively stable operating
performance despite modestly negative same store sales trend in a
still challenging operating environment for restaurant operators.
Logan's continued to outperform its casual dining peers in terms
of SSS and guest traffic, in part reflecting the appeal for its
value proposition in a recessionary economy.  In the first half of
fiscal 2010, the company saw some revenue increase, but mainly due
to new store openings that more than offset the negative SSS.
Moody's expect the company to continue to grow its revenue base in
the medium term by adding new units, while in the meantime
maintaining healthy operating margins in spite of rising commodity
pricing pressure.  The stable outlook also reflects Moody's belief
that the company would maintain good liquidity.

The affirmation of Logan's B2 CFR acknowledges the fact that the
company was able to improve EBITDA in 2009 by tightening operating
expenses and implementing efficiency initiatives.  Additionally,
the company benefited from lower commodity costs in 2009, which
helped expand operating margins.  These factors have resulted in
stronger debt protection measures.  The B2 rating also
incorporates high leverage in the capital structure due to LBO
history, the modest scale and regional concentration, and the
relatively stable cash flow generation.

These ratings were affirmed and assessments updated:

  -- Corporate Family rating at B2

  -- Probability of Default rating at B2

  -- $30 million revolver maturing in 2011 at Ba3, LGD assessment
     was updated to (LGD2, 28%) from (LGD2, 29%)

  -- $138 million (approximately $134 million outstanding) term
     loan B maturing in 2012 at Ba3, LGD assessment was updated to
     (LGD2, 28%) from (LGD2, 29%)

The rating outlook is stable

The last rating action was on March 25, 2009, when Moody's
affirmed all ratings and revised outlook to negative from stable.

Logan's Roadhouse, Inc., headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee,
operates 184 and franchises 26 traditional American roadhouse-
style steakhouses in 23 states across the country.  Company-owned

January 2010.


MCINTOSH COMMERCIAL: Closed; CharterBank Assumes All Deposits
-------------------------------------------------------------
McIntosh Commercial Bank, Carrollton, Georgia, was closed
March 26, 2010, by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance,
which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as
receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a
purchase and assumption agreement with CharterBank, West Point,
Georgia, to assume all of the deposits of McIntosh Commercial
Bank.

The four branches of McIntosh Commercial Bank reopened on Saturday
as branches of CharterBank. Depositors of McIntosh Commercial Bank
will automatically become depositors of CharterBank.  Deposits
will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for
customers to change their banking relationship to retain their
deposit insurance coverage.  Customers should continue to use
their former McIntosh Commercial Bank branch until they receive
notice from CharterBank that it has completed systems changes to
allow other CharterBank branches to process their accounts as
well.

As of December 31, 2009, McIntosh Commercial Bank had around
$362.9 million in total assets and $343.3 million in total
deposits.  CharterBank did not pay the FDIC a premium to assume
all of the deposits of McIntosh Commercial Bank.  In addition to
assuming all of the deposits, CharterBank agreed to purchase
essentially all of the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and CharterBank entered into a loss-share transaction on
$263.1 million of McIntosh Commercial Bank's assets.  CharterBank
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, 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 1-800-450-5668.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

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

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $123.3 million.  CharterBank's acquisition of all the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to all alternatives.  McIntosh Commercial Bank is the
38th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and
the sixth in Georgia.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in
the state was Bank of Hiawassee, Hiawassee, on March 19, 2010.

MERVYN'S LLC: Banks Escape Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation
-----------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a financial institution which, according to
allegations in an amended complaint which an unsecured creditors'
committee sought leave to file, was involved only as a trustee
holding funds for the benefit of third parties in the series of
transactions that the committee challenged as fraudulent as to
creditors, could not qualify as a "transferee" of these funds, and
could have no liability to the committee in connection with these
transactions.  Accordingly, the committee's motion for leave to
amend to pursue a claim against this financial institution would
be denied as futile.  In re Mervyn's Holdings, LLC, --- B.R. ----,
2010 WL 908490 (Bankr. D. Del.).

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors sued (Bankr. D. Del.
Adv. Pro. No. 08-51402) a number of entities on behalf of the
estate to recover alleged damages from the financial transactions
surrounding the sale in July 2004 of Mervyn's by Target
Corporation to Mervyn's Holdings, LLC.  LaSalle Bank National
Corporation and Bank of America moved to dismiss the Committee's
First Amended Complaint.  In the Motion to Dismiss, the Banks
argued, among other things, that the Committee failed to properly
name them in the proper capacity as trustees.  The Honorable Kevin
Gross agreed and dismissed the Complaint.

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Bank Debt Trades at 53% Off
-------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 47.20
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents a drop of 7.22
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 275 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility, which matures on April 8, 2012.  Moody's and Standard &
Poor's do not rate the bank debt.  The debt is one of the biggest
gainers and losers among 185 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.  An investor
consortium, comprised of Providence Equity Partners, TPG Capital,
Sony Corporation of America, Comcast Corporation, DLJ Merchant
Banking Partners and Quadrangle Group, owns MGM.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 30, 2009,
The New York Post, citing multiple sources, said discussions
between debt holders 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.


METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Creditors to Discuss Standalone Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Reuters, citing unidentified people, reports that Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer's steering committee will meet with creditors to present a
standalone plan for the famed studio next week.

According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter said the
creditors, disappointed with the bids that came in for MGM, will
present the plan in Los Angeles on Thursday.  The plan, which
abandons the idea of a sale of the entire company, involves a
mandate to make six to eight movies a year and would require large
amounts of capital, the sources said.

The plan, according to the sources, also involves filing for a
pre-arranged bankruptcy.  Such a plan would need approval from a
majority of the creditors.

Bloomberg reported last week that creditors are unwilling to
accept current offers for MGM that they deem too low,
Bloomberg News reported.

Bloomberg, citing an unidentified person, relates that Time Warner
Inc. offered $1.5 billion.  Billionaire Len Blavatnik's Access
Industries proposed to reduce MGM's debt and provide cash for film
production.  Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. said it dropped out of
the bidding this week.  Liberty Media Corp. and Elliott Management
Corp. are also out of the bidding.

MGM put itself up for sale last year after failing to make
payments on $3.7 billion in debt.

The Wall Street Journal reported early this month that MGM is
readying a backup plan should bids for its assets come in too low.
Sources told the Journal, MGM creditors are increasingly willing
to assume control over the studio.  The sources said that under
that scenario, MGM would likely pursue a "standalone" plan
in which lenders would convert their debt to equity.

MGM has hired investment bank Moelis & Company and the law firm
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.  In August, it hired the
restructuring expert Stephen F. Cooper to help lead the company.

Among the potential bidders for a restructuring-oriented deal are
Qualia Capital, an investment firm with film industry veterans.

MGM is facing a March 31 deadline for its bank debt and an April 8
deadline for a $250 million credit facility.

MGM MIRAGE: Management Joins Barclays 2010 Conference
-----------------------------------------------------
MGM MIRAGE management was scheduled to make a Company presentation
Friday at the Barclays Capital 2010 High Yield Bond and Syndicated

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) --

located in Nevada, Mississippi and Michigan, and has 50%
investments in four other properties in Nevada, New Jersey,

into management agreements for future casino and non-casino
resorts throughout the world.

At September 30, 2009, MGM MIRAGE had $21.7 billion in total
assets against total current liabilities of $1.15 billion,
deferred income taxes of $3.14 billion, long-term debt of
$12.9 billion, other long-term obligations of $221.70 million;
resulting in stockholders' equity of $4.29 billion.

                         *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed MGM MIRAGE's ratings, including
its Caa1 Corporate Family Rating and raised the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4.  The
rating outlook remains stable.

As reported by the TCR on March 11, 2010, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services affirmed all of its existing ratings on MGM
MIRAGE, including the 'CCC+' corporate credit rating.  The rating
outlook is developing.  "The 'CCC+ corporate credit rating
reflects MGM MIRAGE's significant debt burden, S&P's expectation
for continued declines in cash flow generation in 2010, and the
company's tight liquidity position," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Ben Bubeck.

NAVISTAR INT'L: Files Blue Diamond Parts 2009 Financial Results
---------------------------------------------------------------
Navistar International Corporation has filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a Form 10-K/A to include in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009, the
audited balance sheet of Blue Diamond Parts, LLC, at December 31,
2008, the related audited statements of operations, members'
equity, and cash flows of BDP for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, and related notes, and the unaudited interim
financial statements and related notes of BDP as of and for the
seven months ended May 31, 2009, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

     -- Audited financial statements at December 31, 2008,
        See http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?5c64

     -- Unaudited financial statements for the seven months ended
        May 31, 2009, See http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?5c63

In the seven months ended May 31, 2009, Blue Diamond Parts posted
net income of $102,416,355.  At May 31, 2009, BDP had total assets
of $49,880,493 against total liabilities of $37,243,122.

In January 2009, Navistar reached a settlement agreement with Ford
Motor Company where the parties agreed to settle their lawsuits
against each other.  As a part of the Ford Settlement, on June 1,
2009, Navistar's equity interest in the BDP joint venture with
Ford was increased to 75%.  Through May 31, 2009, BDP was an
unconsolidated joint venture in which NIC owned a 49% interest.

Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X provides that if an unconsolidated
subsidiary or a 50% or less owned subsidiary accounted for by the
equity method meets certain conditions set forth in Rule 1-02(w)
of Regulation S-X, the subsidiary will be deemed a significant
subsidiary and requires its audited financial statements to be
filed with the registrant's Annual Report.  For NIC's 2008 and
2007 year-ends, BDP met one of the conditions.

Effective June 1, 2009, BDP changed its fiscal year from December
31 to October 31.  Navistar has also included in this Form 10-K/A
the required unaudited interim financial statements and related
notes of BDP as of and for the seven months ended May 31, 2009.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2010,
Fitch Ratings revised Navistar's and Navistar Financial Corp.'s
Rating Outlooks to Positive from Negative and affirmed the
companies' long-term Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB-'.  The Outlook
revisions are driven by improvement in the financial profile of
NFC following the signing of an operating agreement with GE
Capital and by NAV's financial performance in the past year.
Historically, Fitch had concerns with NFC's funding,
capitalization, and asset quality performance, but they have been
eliminated or reduced with the new agreement with GECC.

According to the TCR on March 11, 2010, Moody's Investors Service
maintained its B1 long-term rating, SGL-2 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating and stable outlook for Navistar following the
announcement that GE Capital will become the preferred provider of
retail financing in support of Navistar's truck and bus sales in
the US.  Moody's said Navistar's captive finance operation,
Navistar Financial Corporation, should be relieved of the capital
and liquidity burden necessary to support new retail and lease
originations.  In addition, GE Capital's stronger balance sheet
and superior capital market access relative to that of NFC, should
improve the availability of the financing that can be offered to
retail purchasers of Navistar equipment.

According to the TCR on January 28, 2010, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said it has revised its outlook on Navistar and
related entities to stable from negative and affirmed its 'BB-'

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 22, 2010,
Fitch Ratings revised Navistar's and Navistar Financial Corp.'s
Rating Outlooks to Positive from Negative and affirmed the
companies' long-term Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB-'.  The Outlook
revisions are driven by improvement in the financial profile of
NFC following the signing of an operating agreement with GE
Capital and by NAV's financial performance in the past year.
Historically, Fitch had concerns with NFC's funding,
capitalization, and asset quality performance, but they have been
eliminated or reduced with the new agreement with GECC.

According to the TCR on March 11, 2010, Moody's Investors Service
maintained its B1 long-term rating, SGL-2 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating and stable outlook for Navistar following the
announcement that GE Capital will become the preferred provider of
retail financing in support of Navistar's truck and bus sales in
the US.  Moody's said Navistar's captive finance operation,
Navistar Financial Corporation, should be relieved of the capital
and liquidity burden necessary to support new retail and lease
originations.  In addition, GE Capital's stronger balance sheet
and superior capital market access relative to that of NFC, should
improve the availability of the financing that can be offered to
retail purchasers of Navistar equipment.

According to the TCR on January 28, 2010, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said it has revised its outlook on Navistar and
related entities to stable from negative and affirmed its 'BB-'


NORTH AMERICAN TECH: Gets Interim Nod to Use Opus' Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
North American Technologies Group, Inc., et al., sought and
obtained interim authorization from the Hon. Brenda T. Rhoades of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas to use
$452,000 of Opus 5949, LLC's cash collateral.

Michael R. Rochelle, Esq., at Rochelle McCullough L.L.P., the
attorney for the Debtors, explained that the Debtors need the
money to fund their Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other
parties.  The Debtors will use the collateral pursuant to a
budget, a copy of which is available for free at:

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

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtors propose to
grant Opus (i) valid and automatically perfected first-priority
replacement security interests and liens, superior to any and all
creditors and/or interest holders of the Debtors' estates, in and
upon all the property and assets of the Debtors' estates; (ii) a
super-priority administrative expense claim to the extent of any
diminution in value of Opus' interest in the pre-petition
collateral and cash collateral; and (iii) adequate insurance
coverage and timely payment of all postpetition taxes assessed and
costs due in relation to the Collateral in the ordinary course of
the Debtors' businesses, thereby keeping the properties free of
liens.  The Debtors will also provide the Opus weekly reports,
during the forecast period until a termination event, which
reconcile actual cash collateral usage during the foregoing week
in comparison to the cash collateral budget and certify compliance
with the budget.

The Court has set a final hearing on April 20, 2010, at 9:30 a.m.
on the Debtors' request to use cash collateral.

N.Y.C. OFF-TRACK BETTING: Gov. Paterson Reject NYRA Takeover Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BloodHorse.com reports that a plan quietly floated to let the New
York Racing Association take over management of the Internet and
phone wagering business at the struggling New York City Off-Track
Betting Corp. has been rejected by Gov. David Paterson.

According to BloodHorse, sources at the Capitol say talks are
ongoing but the sides are still far apart, with NYCOTB threatening
to send out 14-day layoff notices the afternoon of March 26 to its
1,300 employees.

BloodHorse says a source close to the negotiations characterized a
plan to let NYRA run NYCOTB's internet and phone wagering business
as "a poison pill to put NYCOTB out of business" by eliminating a
successful stream of revenue for the OTB to give it to NYRA.

A separate source, according to BloodHorse, said the Assembly plan
called for expanding the authority of a state board that now
oversees NYRA's finances to include NYCOTB.  The oversight board
would then enter into a deal with NYRA to manage NYCOTB's phone
and internet wagering business.  Depending on how that deal was
structured, it could produce enough money to erase much of NYRA's
cash flow problems that has raised questions about its viability
to continue racing later this year.

                           About NYC OTB

New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation is a public benefit
corporation, which operates an off-track pari-mutuel betting
system on thoroughbred and harness horse races held at all 11 race
tracks located in New York State and certain race tracks located
outside of the State.  Since NYC OTB's inception in 1971, it has
made payments of nearly $2 billion to the State horse racing
industry, over $1.4 billion to New York City and nearly
$600 million to the State.  In 2008 alone, NYC OTB made statutory
contributions in an aggregate amount of $128.6 million to the
State horse racing industry, the State, the City, and other local
municipalities.  NYC OTB's operations are regulated by the State.

NYC OTB filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy
Code on December 3, 2009 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 09-17121).
Richard Levin, Esq., at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtor's counsel.

At September 30, 2009, NYC OTB had $18,468,147 in total assets
against $74,912,742 in total current liabilities, $6,982,887 in
long-term liabilities, and $201,020,000 in long-term post
employment benefits.

Raymond Casey, President and Chief Executive Officer of NYC OTB,
said in court papers that over time, higher mandatory
distributions required by the State Legislature, combined with
increases in the cost of operating in New York City, left NYC OTB
with no residual income to turn over to the City.  NYC OTB laid
off 17% of its management, closed underperforming branches,
reduced employees' overtime hours, surrendered a quarter of its
headquarters space, reduced supply purchases, decreased security
expenses and reduced energy costs -- resulting in nearly
$45 million of savings during the five-year period through the end
of the 2008 fiscal year.  While making the difficult decisions
needed to reduce operational costs, NYC OTB also launched a
campaign seeking to have the State Legislature rationalize the
flawed and burdensome legislative distribution scheme.

OSI RESTAURANT: Bank Debt Trades at 10% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which OSI Restaurant
Partners, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at
89.94 cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26,
2010, according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and
reported in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase
of 0.66 percentage points from the previous week, The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 9, 2014, and
carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc., is the #3 operator of casual-dining
spots (behind Darden Restaurants and Brinker International), with

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 24, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded OSI Restaurant's Probability
of Default rating to Ca from Caa1 and lowered the rating on its
$550 million 10% senior unsecured notes to C from Caa3.  Moody's
also placed OSI's Corporate Family and senior secured ratings on
review for possible downgrade.

The review was prompted by the recent announcement that OSI
continues to experience a substantial decline in earnings and
store traffic to levels worse than Moody's previously expected.
The company also announced that it will likely need to take an
impairment charge of between $480 and $540 million for goodwill
due to a reduction in its projected results for future periods as
a result of poor overall economic conditions.

PETTERS GROUP: Criminal Case Judge Grants Forfeiture Request
------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew M. Harris at Bloomberg News reports that Thomas Joseph
Petters lost a bid to delay the forfeiture of money and property
that prosecutors say Mr. Petters acquired with ill-gotten gains.
U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle granted federal prosecutors'
request for a preliminary order of forfeiture.  The U.S.
government asked in January for a money judgment of $3.5 billion
and permission to search for assets to satisfy that amount.

In December, a federal trial jury convicted Mr. Petters, 53, of
Wayzata, Minn., of orchestrating a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme.
Specifically, Mr. Petters, who was originally indicted in December
2008, was found guilty of 10 counts of wire fraud, three counts of
mail fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud,
one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and five counts
of money laundering.

According to the indictment and evidence presented at trial,
Mr. Petters, aided and abetted by others, defrauded and obtained
billions of dollars in money and property by inducing investors to
provide PCI funds to purchase merchandise that was to be resold to
retailers at a profit.   However, no such purchases were made.
Instead, the defendants and co-conspirators diverted the funds
provided them for other purposes, such as making lulling payments
to investors, paying off those who assisted in their fraud scheme,
funding businesses owned or controlled by the defendants, and
financing Mr. Petters's extravagant lifestyle.

PROTECTION ONE: Dec. 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $59.1-Mil.
---------------------------------------------------------------
On March 24, 2010, Protection One, Inc., filed its annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, showing
$571.9 million in assets and $631.0 million of debts, for a
stockholders' deficit of $59.1 million.

The Company reported net income of $17.5 million on $368.1 million
of revenue for 2009, compared with a net loss of $50.5 million on
$372.0 million of revenue for 2008.

Operating income for the year increased to $40.3 million compared
to $10.3 million in the prior year, resulting from reductions in
monitoring and related services expense, as well as selling,
general and administrative, and depreciation and amortization
expenses, which more than offset the decrease in revenue.

Net income for the year includes a gain of roughly $23.0 million
recorded in the fourth quarter in connection with a settlement of
a tax-related matter with the Company's former parent, Westar
Energy, Inc., while the net loss in 2008 includes a $12.8 million
loss on retirement of debt in connection with the refinancing of
the Company's senior subordinated notes.

The Company reported net income of $23.0 million on $90.3 million
of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to net loss of
$7.2 million on $94.0 million of revenue in the prior year.

evaluate strategic alternatives, which may result in a change in
ownership of the Company.

PROTECTION ONE: Earns $23 Million in Fourth Quarter 2009
--------------------------------------------------------
Protection One Inc. reported financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

Richard Ginsburg, Protection One's president and chief executive
officer, said, "We are very pleased with the Company's operating
and financial improvements during 2009 and our net income of $17.5
million for the year.  Despite the challenging economic
environment this past year, we continued to invest in developing
our commercial capabilities and alternate channels of distribution
for our industry-leading eSecure interactive service.  We also
achieved greater operational efficiency through continued focus on
controlling costs, completed a refinancing of our debt structure
and successfully negotiated a tax-related settlement with our
former parent. As a result of these accomplishments, we ended the
year with a strengthened balance sheet with reduced leverage and
an extension of our debt maturities.

"Overall financial performance in fiscal year 2009 was strong,
with significant improvements to operating income, which increased
to $40.3 million for the year, and the generation of over $105
million in operating cash flow.  As we enter 2010, we believe
Protection One is well positioned both operationally and
financially to capitalize on improving economic conditions."

Adjusted EBITDA, Recurring Monthly Revenue, and Net Debt, as
described in this release, are all non-GAAP financial measures.

                      Fourth Quarter Results

In the fourth quarter of 2009, consolidated revenue decreased by
3.9% to $90.3 million while cost of revenue decreased 7.2% to
$36.9 million in 2009.  As anticipated, Wholesale monitoring
revenue, along with the related costs, decreased as a result of
this segment's new arrangement with one of its larger customers.
Retail and Multifamily monitoring and service revenue also
declined in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period
in 2008 due to decreases in each segment's customer base.

The Company's consolidated monitoring and related services margin
improved in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 69.7% compared to 67.6%
in the fourth quarter of 2008 as reductions in the costs of
monitoring and related services for both the Retail and Wholesale
segments were proportionately greater than the decrease in related
revenue.  Wholesale's monitoring and related services gross margin
improved to 48.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009 from 44.3% in
the same period of 2008 due to efficiencies gained from the
integration in early 2009 of its monitoring centers onto a common
platform as well as the impact of the new customer arrangement
mentioned previously.

Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 increased to $11.3
million from $4.4 million in 2008 primarily due to a reduction in
general and administrative costs.  Selling expense also decreased
due to reduced internal marketing efforts.  Lastly, amortization
and depreciation expense decreased due to the impact of the
Company's accelerated amortization method for its intangible
assets.

The Company reported net income of $23.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2009 compared to net loss of $7.2 million in the prior
year.  Net income in 2009 includes a gain of approximately
$23 million recorded in connection with a settlement of a tax-
related matter with our former parent, Westar Energy, Inc. as well
as higher operating income.

                         Full Year Results

Consolidated revenue for the full year of 2009 was $368.1 million,
representing a decrease of 1.1% from $372.0 million in 2008.  The
decrease is due to a reduction in Retail and Multifamily
monitoring and service revenue.  The Company's monitoring and
related services margin increased to 69.2% for the year ended
December 31, 2009 from 66.8% in 2008 driven by a 9% reduction in
cost of monitoring and related services for the year.

Operating income for the year increased to $40.3 million in 2009
compared to $10.3 million in 2008, resulting from reductions in
monitoring and related services expense, as well as selling,
general and administrative, and depreciation and amortization
expenses, which more than offset the decrease in revenue.

Net income for the year was $17.5 million in 2009 compared to a
net loss of $50.5 million in 2008.  The gain on the settlement
with Westar and higher operating income contributed to net income
in 2009.  In 2008, the Company recorded a $12.8 million loss on
retirement of debt in connection with the refinancing of the
Company's senior subordinated notes.

PROTECTIVE LIFE: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Trust Preferred Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Protective Life Corp.'s Issuer Default
Rating at 'BBB+' and senior debt ratings at 'BBB'.  Fitch has also
affirmed PL's trust preferred ratings at 'BB+' and primary life
insurance subsidiaries' Insurer Financial Strength ratings at 'A'.
The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The affirmation follows a review by Fitch of the year-end
statutory capitalization of PL's primary life insurance
subsidiaries.

Fitch's analysis of PL's statutory capital levels includes an
assumption for future investment losses in the range of 1.5%-2% of
invested assets.  Fitch's analysis also considers PL's use of
leverage, the capital and funding needs at various insurance
captives established to fund PL's redundant term life insurance
reserve requirements and PL's ceded reinsurance exposure to
Scottish Re, which is currently under regulatory supervision.

Fitch's review also considers strong GAAP and statutory earnings
reported by PL in the second half of 2009, and significant
progress made by PL on several financing initiatives.  These
initiatives include a refinancing of a significant portion of the
surplus notes issued by Golden Gate Captive Insurance Company
(Golden Gate), initiatives in process to finance peak reserve
needs and a re-orientation towards products with reduced reserve
funding needs.  The refinancing of the Golden Gate surplus notes
resulted in a significant gain and eliminated certain restrictions
that had previously prevented Golden Gate from paying a dividend
to its parent company, Protective Life Insurance Company.

The affirmations reflect the company's favorable earnings
performance, strong liquidity, and good competitive position in
the U.S. life insurance market.  Fitch believes that PL's
favorable earnings performance, which has been materially better
than peers, reflects the company's concentration in the individual
life insurance business, limited variable annuity exposure, and
focused management approach.

Fitch notes that under its newly introduced Total Financings and
Commitments ratio, PL demonstrates high (above average) leverage
compared to peers at approximately 1.3 times (x).  This is due
mainly to financings for Regulation XXX reserving.  Fitch
generally views these activities as well managed, and related
risks were previously captured in Fitch's ratings.

TFC is a non-risk-based leverage measure that expands on the
traditional debt-to-equity ratio to include other forms of debt
(or debt-like) obligations that may have been historically
classified as 'operating' debt.  The measure is intended to flag
those companies that have an above-average reliance on the capital
markets for funding, which would trigger further analysis by Fitch
to understand the relative risk of the company's various funding
activities.

Fitch also believes that PL's liquidity position is sound.  The
company has no significant debt maturing until 2013 and has cash
and liquid assets to meet maturing obligations at the holding
company and operating company levels.  Equity-adjusted leverage
remains within expectations, and interest coverage is reasonable.

PL maintains a good competitive position in the individual life
insurance market.  Fitch notes that the company is increasing its
focus on the sale of universal life insurance products, and
deemphasizing the sale of capital intensive term life insurance
products.  Fitch believes that the company's strategic
repositioning may have a negative impact on sales over the short
term.

The Negative Outlook continues to reflect uncertainties associated
with new products and, to lesser extent, the reserve credit on
reinsurance and the ultimate realization of future investment
losses.

Fitch affirms these ratings with a Negative Rating Outlook:

Protective Life Corporation

  -- IDR at 'BBB+';

  -- $10 million in medium-term notes due 2011 at 'BBB';

  -- $250 million in senior notes due 2013 at 'BBB';

PTS CARDINAL: Bank Debt Trades at 7% Off in Secondary Market
------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which PTS Cardinal
Health is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.04
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26, 2010,

The Company pays 225 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on April 10, 2014, and carries
Moody's Ba3 rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

In April 2007, Cardinal Health completed the sale of its

RADIENT PHARMACEUTICALS: Gets Extension to Regain Compliance
------------------------------------------------------------
US-based pharmaceutical company Radient Pharmaceuticals
Corporation received notice from the New York Stock Exchange Amex
indicating it has accepted the Company's business plan of
compliance, which was timely submitted on January 25, 2010, and
granted RPC an extension until June 23, 2010, to regain compliance
with the Exchange's continued listing standards.

As previously reported on January 26, 2010, Radient
Pharmaceuticals received notification from the staff of its
current listing exchange indicating the Company was considered to
be non-compliant with certain listing requirements of the NYSE
Amex.  Based on the Company's quarterly report on Form 10Q for the
period ending September 30, 2009, the Exchange staff indicated
that RPC had sustained losses too substantial in relation to its
overall operations or existing financial resources; or the
Company's financial condition has become so impaired it appears
questionable as to whether RPC will be able to continue operations
and/or meet our obligations as they mature.  This notification had
no immediate effect on the listing of RPC shares on the exchange.
Rather, the Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a
compliance plan in response to such notification.

RPC's accepted compliance plan outlines various high-priority
initiatives the Company will undertake to become complaint with
NYSE Amex listing standards.  This includes, but is not limited
to, securing additional capital through equity financing and an
equity line of credit; securing shareholder approval for various
debt for equity transactions to eliminate the majority of RPC's
near- and long-term debt; monetizing RPC's ownership in its China-
based subsidiary Jade Pharmaceuticals Inc.; advancing the
international commercialization of the Company's Onko-Sure(TM)
cancer test kits, Onko-Care cancer test services; and instituting
a new investor relations program to promote investor buying in
RPC.

The Company will be subject to periodic review by the exchange
staff during the extension period covered by the plan.  Failure to
make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance
with the continued listing standards by the end of the applicable
extension periods could result in the company's shares being
delisted from the exchange.  If the Company's common stock was
ultimately delisted from the exchange, it would be expected to
trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, a regulated quotation service
that provides quotes, sale prices and volume information in over-
the-counter equity securities.

RPC also announced that it filed a Notification of Late Filing
under Rule 12b-25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009 which is due March 31, 2010.  The Company
expects to file the Form 10-K by April 15, 2010, which is the
prescribed extended deadline pursuant to Rule 12b-25.  The Company
has been working diligently to complete all required information
for its annual report on Form 10-K.

---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Dallas, Texas-based Reddy Ice Holdings
Inc. (Holdings) to 'SD' (selective default) from 'CC'.

At the same time, S&P also lowered the issue rating on Holdings'
$150.5 million senior discount notes due 2012 to 'D' from 'C'.
The recovery rating on this debt remains unchanged at '6',
indicating S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default.

In addition, S&P has withdrawn the 'B' bank loan rating on Reddy
Ice Corp. (Opco) and the '2' recovery rating.  S&P also removed
the 'B' issue rating from CreditWatch with negative implications,
where it was placed on Feb. 19, 2010.

"The rating actions follow the company's substantial exchange of
Holdings' notes to secured second-lien priority Opco notes,
concurrent with Reddy Ice's refinancing of its bank loan," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jean C. Stout.  For analytical
purposes, S&P view Holdings and its operating company, Reddy Ice
Corp. (Opco) as one economic entity.

Under its criteria, S&P assesses the exchange offer as distressed
and the completed transaction as tantamount to default.  It is
S&P's understanding that the remaining outstanding balance of the
senior discount notes continue to perform and accrue interest as
scheduled, and therefore S&P believes there is no contractual
default, nor any cross-default to other debt obligations.

Reddy Ice's post-exchange capital structure and bank refinancing
increased its debt burden by about $60 million.  Even so, it
extended Reddy Ice's maturities and provides liquidity to the
company to not only withstand lingering weak macroeconomic
conditions with greater capacity and provides Reddy Ice with
capital to fund its growth initiatives.  Credit measures
(including S&P's standard adjustments) are weak and will weaken
further pro forma the transaction.  For the year ended Dec. 31,
2009, S&P estimates that, pro forma for the transaction, EBITDA
coverage of interest is thin at about 1.3x, total debt to EBITDA
is high at about 7.2x, and funds from operations to total debt
would be only about 6%.


RITE AID: Bank Debt Trades at 10% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Rite Aid
Corporation is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 89.91
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, March 26, 2010,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.62
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Company pays 175 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on May 25, 2014, and carries
Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B+ rating.  The debt is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

Headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Rite Aid Corporation
(NYSE: RAD) -- http://www.riteaid.com/-- is the largest drugstore
chain on the East Coast and the third largest drugstore chain in
the U.S.  The Company operates more than 4,900 stores in 31 states
and the District of Columbia.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 21, 2009,
Moody's affirmed Rite Aid's 'Caa2' corporate family and
probability of default ratings.  Standard & Poor's also affirmed
the 'B-' corporate credit rating, and the outlook is stable.


RTL-WESTCAN LIMITED: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B+' long-
term corporate credit rating to Edmonton, Alta.-based RTL-Westcan
Limited Partnership.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its issue-level and recovery
ratings to RTL's proposed C$130 million second-lien secured notes
due 2017.  S&P rates the notes 'B+' (the same as the corporate
credit rating on the company), with a '3' recovery rating,
indicating its expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.  The partnership will use the proceeds
to re-finance existing debt, help fund an announced acquisition,
and for general corporate purposes.

"The ratings on RTL reflect the partnership's participation in the
trucking industry, which S&P view as fragmented, highly
competitive, and cyclical, as well as its leverage, which S&P
classify as aggressive," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jamie Koutsoukis.  "Providing some offset to these factors, S&P
believe, are RTL's strong market position as the largest niche
bulk commodity hauler in western Canada, strong working
relationships with its customers, good operating margins, and
satisfactory liquidity," Ms. Koutsoukis added.

RTL is one of the largest niche commodity haulers in western
Canada and a major Alberta-Northwest Territories
transportation/infrastructure company.  Operating out of 14
locations, the company specializes in dry and liquid bulk
transportation, freight hauling, air charter, and construction
services.  The hauling division, which accounts for the majority
of RTL's revenue, provides bulk commodity hauling, truckload,
less-than-truckload, flat deck services, and product handling
services to customers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,
and northern Canada.  The fleet comprises fuel tankers, insulated
trailers, hopper bottoms, pressure vessels, specialized two-way
hauling units, end dumps, side dumps, liquid tankers, and
pneumatics.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that RTL will
internally fund its debt servicing obligations and capital
spending program in the coming fiscal year and will apply free
cash flow primarily to reduce debt.  Furthermore, S&P expects RTL
to benefit from increased revenues and cash flow because of the
ECL Transportation Ltd. acquisition.  If RTL is able to maintain
its margins, demonstrate sustained profitability, and generate
positive free cash flow while reducing debt levels, S&P could
raise the ratings.  Standard & Poor's believes total adjusted debt
to EBITDA below 3.5x and funds from operations to debt above 20%
could strengthen the partnership's credit profile beyond the
current rating.  Alternatively, if RTL materially outspends
internally generated cash flow, or suffers deterioration in its
financial risk profile, a negative rating action could occur.

SCHEHERAZADE INC: Files for Bankruptcy Due to Credit Crunch
-----------------------------------------------------------
Scheherazade filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, listing assets and
debts of $1 million to $10 million.

The Company owes $1.2 million to its 20 largest creditors.
Scheherazade's largest creditor is Golden Valley-based diamond
wholesaler LDM Co., at $151,796.  The Minneapolis Star Tribune is
owed $30,790.

Jackie Crosby at Star Tribune reports that Scheherazade blamed the
bankruptcy filing on the credit crunch and the recession.
According to the report, a person familiar with the filing said
Bank of America did not renew a line of credit to the Company.
The Company said it paid $700,000 on a $1.5 million loan from the
bank.

Scheherazade Inc. operates a 40-year old family-owned store at the
Galleria Mall in Edina, Minnesota.  It says operations will
continue while in Chapter 11.


SEITEL INC: Posts $18.3 Million Net Loss in Fourth Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
Seitel, Inc., said in a earnings release that it is reporting that
a net loss of $18.3 million on $38.7 million of revenue for the
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, as compared with a net
loss of $18.0 million on $34.2 million of revenue for the same
period of 2008.  The increase in net loss primarily resulted from
a $5.5 million increase in seismic data amortization expense and a
$3.0 million increase in tax expense partially offset by a $4.5
million increase in revenue and a $1.2 million decrease in
selling, general and administrative expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a net
loss of $96.8 million on $115.3 million of revenue, compared to a
net loss of $74.1 million on $172.4 million of revenue for 2008.
The increase in net loss in 2009 mainly reflects lower revenue.

"2009 was a difficult year for the economy and our industry.
However, North America land rig counts have been steadily
increasing since reaching a low in May," stated Rob Monson,
president and chief executive officer.  "The improvement in cash
resales in the fourth quarter and what we have seen so far in the
first quarter is encouraging because it could represent the
beginning of the recovery from a deep industry contraction.

At December 31, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $522.0 million in assets, $475.7 million of debts, and
$46.4 million of stockholders' equity.

SINCLAIR BROADCAST: Renews ABC Affiliation Agreements
-----------------------------------------------------
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., and the ABC Network on March 25,
2010, entered into an agreement for the renewal of nine of their
Affiliation Agreements.  The Affiliation Agreements are effective
from January 1, 2010, through August 31, 2015.

ABC has agreed to provide each station with all ABC programs in
all time periods currently scheduled by ABC.  The Company is
required to pay an annual license fee to ABC for the network
programming.

Sinclair said the nine affiliation agreements cover approximately
5% of the country.

David Smith, President and CEO of Sinclair, stated, "As one of
ABC's largest affiliate groups, we are pleased to renew our
partnership with the Network.  We believe the length of this new
term continues to demonstrate the robust viability of the
network/affiliate model.  The agreement will benefit our local
market viewers by continuing to provide popular programming such
as 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Dancing with the Stars,' 'Desperate
Housewives,' 'Modern Family' and 'Good Morning America' and will
help us to more quickly realize the value our programming,
including ABC programming, brings to multi-channel video program
distributors."

Barry Faber, Sinclair's Executive Vice President and General
Counsel, noted that, "Although the agreement includes a license
fee, based in part on retransmission consent revenue, we believe
that the pass through to the networks of a reasonable portion of
the fees that broadcasters receive is a necessary and appropriate
way to make sure that the networks continue to be able to provide
the most popular programming on television.  Over time, we expect
that the fees paid by multi-channel video program distributors to
acquire content will be reallocated so that the payments they make
more closely correlate with the popularity of programming.  As a
result, the fees paid to broadcasters are likely to increase to
more appropriate levels, which will allow affiliates to share
these fees with the networks in a measured manner, while the local
stations continue to benefit from this dual revenue stream."

Sinclair does not expect the terms of the new agreement or the
license fee to negatively impact the 2010 television station
expense guidance provided in Sinclair's February 17th earnings
release, which had already included an estimate for such amount.

SIX FLAGS: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Six Flags Theme Parks Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating to (P)B2
from (P)B1 following Six Flags, Inc.'s announcement that it will
modify its plan of reorganization to include $250 million of
second lien secured debt.  The company plans to utilize the net
proceeds from the incremental debt along with an increase in the
planned rights offering of up to $725 million (including
$25 million of committed delayed draw equity available at the
discretion of the new board until June 2011) to fund the repayment
of Six Flags Operations Inc. $400 million 12.25% senior unsecured
notes due July 2016.  The SFI note holders would receive
substantially all the equity under the modified reorganization
plan whereas the company's fourth amended joint plan of
reorganization filed in early December 2009 contemplated SFO note
holders receiving the majority of the equity in lieu of cash.  The
rating outlook remains stable.

The one notch downgrade of the CFR reflects the increase in
leverage and reduction in free cash flow resulting from the
incremental debt and cash interest expense relative to the levels
contemplated in January 2010 when Moody's first assigned the
provisional (P)B1 CFR.  Moody's does not expect the (P)B1 rating
assigned to SFTP's proposed $830 million senior secured bank
credit facility to change as the new $250 million second lien debt
provides a loss absorption cushion in the event of a default and
leverage through the first lien credit facility is not changing.
The loss given default point estimates were updated to reflect the
revised debt structure.  Moody's anticipates the revised
reorganization plan to be confirmed and become effective as the
majority of the company's creditors have now agreed to the
proposed capital structure.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Six Flags Theme Parks Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to (P)B2 from (P)B1
  -- Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to (P)B2 from (P)B1

LGD Updates:

Issuer: Six Flags Theme Parks Inc.

  -- Senior Secured First Lien Bank Credit Facility, Changed to
     LGD3 - 37% from LGD3 - 47% (no change to (P)B1 rating)

Moody's last rating action for SFTP was on January 6, 2010, when
(P)B1 ratings were assigned to the CFR, PDR and proposed senior
secured credit facility.

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

Six Flags, Inc., headquartered in New York City, is a regional
theme park company that operates 19 parks spread across North
America.  The park portfolio includes 15 wholly-owned facilities
(including parks near New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles),
three consolidated partnership parks -- Six Flags over Texas, Six
Flags over Georgia, and White Water Atlanta -- as well as Six
Flags Great Escape Lodge, which is accounted for under the equity
method.  Six Flags currently owns 52% of SFOT and approximately
29% of SFOG/White Water Atlanta.  Revenue including the
consolidation of the partnership parks was $913 million for the
fiscal year ended 12/31/09.


SMURFIT-STONE: Proposes to Assume Cedar Bay Ground Lease
--------------------------------------------------------
Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. and its units ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for authority to assume and amend a ground lease
and certain related executory contracts, and enter into a
settlement and release agreement with Cedar Bay Generating
Company L.P.

According to Robert S. Brady, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, Smurfit-Stone Container
Enterprises, Inc., one of the Debtors, has a long term business
relationship with Cedar Bay which is governed by a series of
related agreements.

The two main agreements governing the Parties' relationship are
the Ground Lease and a certain services agreement, which was
later amended and known as the "Steam Services Agreement".

Pursuant to the Ground Lease, SSCE leases land adjacent to the
Debtors' Jacksonville, Florida recycled containerboard mill to
Cedar Bay.  Cedar Bay, in turn, owns and operates a cogeneration
facility on the Property.  The initial term of the Ground Lease
is 50 years and rent is $500,000 per year.

Under the Steam Services Agreement, Cedar Bay supplies steam from
its cogeneration facility, which is used in the production
process of the Jacksonville Mill.  The initial term of the Steam
Services Agreement is 22 years with automatic extensions of up to
five, five year periods plus a sixth renewal for three years.

Mr. Brady says that, essentially, with all extensions, the Steam
Services Agreement runs for the same 50 year period as the Ground
Lease.  He notes that SSCE pays Cedar Bay a fixed monthly payment
for the steam plus a unit charge for actual deliveries of steam.

The fixed cost of steam is reduced for the first two renewal
periods and the cost during any subsequent renewal periods is
negotiated by the Parties under mutually agreeable terms and
conditions, Mr. Brady further notes.  He adds that after the
Petition Date, the Debtors paid Cedar Bay over approximately
$14,000,000 under the Steam Services Agreement, and Cedar Bay
filed a proof of claim for $2,724,682 relating to prepetition
amounts owed to it by the Debtors.

Per the terms of the contractual relationship between the Debtors
and Cedar Bay, Mr. Brady says that the Debtors obligations under
the Ground Lease and the Steam Services Agreement are secured by
a $10,000,000 letter of credit.  He notes that the Debtors incur
fees associated with the LOC and the LOC Fees have historically
been under $500,000.

The key terms of the Settlement Agreement between the Parties
include:

  (a) Cedar Bay will reimburse SSCE, annually, for the actual,
      reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by SSCE to
      deliver and maintain the LOC during the applicable year.
      Cedar Bay's annual payments in respect of the LOC will be
      capped at the lesser of the actual, reasonable, out-of-
      pocket costs or $500,000;

  (b) Cedar Bay will waive all unpaid prepetition amounts
      accrued and due or payable by SSCE pursuant to the Steam
      Services Agreement;

  (c) SSCE will waive all unpaid prepetition amounts accrued and
      due or payable by Cedar Bay pursuant to the Steam Services
      Agreement, except for those expressly set in an annex to
      the Settlement Agreement;

  (d) SSCE will pay to Cedar Bay all unpaid amounts owed to
      Cedar Bay from the Petition Date through October 31, 2009,
      as set in an annex to the Settlement Agreement;

  (e) SSCE will assume the executory contracts related to the
      Ground Lease; and

  (f) each of the Parties' personnel will be mutually released
      from all claims, counterclaims, demands, actions, causes
      of actions, damages, liabilities, losses, payments,
      obligations, and costs and expenses of any kind or nature.

A key term of the Lease Amendment between the Parties is Cedar
Bay's payment to SSCE, in arrears, rent from June 1, 2009 through
May 31, 2010, totaling $1,156,250.  From June 1, 2010 through May
31, 2014, Cedar Bay will pay to SSCE an annual rent aggregating
$1,625,000.  From and after June 1, 2014, Cedar Bay will pay a
"Fair Market Rent," as calculated in accordance with the Ground
Lease.

          Debtors Make Minor Changes to Proposed Order

Mr. Brady tells the Court that after the Debtors filed their
Request, they received comments from Cedar Bay.  Accordingly, the
Parties entered into discussions and came up with a revised
proposed order which states that subject to the conditions of the
Settlement Agreement, no cure amounts will be paid with respect
to the Executory Contracts to be assumed by the Debtors.

Judge Shannon subsequently signed the revised proposed order.

SMURFIT-STONE: Wants Full Disclosure from Mariner, Aurelius
-----------------------------------------------------------
Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. and its units ask the Court to
compel the full compliance of Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure by Mariner Investment Group, LLC and Senator
Investment Group LP represented by Cross & Simon LLC and Willkie
Farr & Gallagher LLP, and certain claims holders, which includes
Aurelius Capital Management LP, Smith Management LLC and Venor
Capital Management LP, represented by Kasowitz Benson Torres &
Friedman LLP and Saul Ewing LLP.

The Professionals have already submitted prior Rule 2019
Statements, however, James F. Conlan, Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP,
in Chicago, Illinois, asserts that the Rule 2019 Statements
contain deficiencies which, if not corrected undermine Rule 2019.
Specifically, Mr. Conlan says that while the Rule 2019 Statements
identify certain claims holders and equity holders represented by
the Professionals, they fail to provide other information
required by Rule 2019, including:

  -- the identity and holdings of each person, entity or fund
     holding an interest in any of the Debtors that the Certain
     Holders or Equity Holders are purporting to act as an
     investment manager or advisor on behalf of; and

  -- the date of all acquisitions of all claims or interests,
     the amounts paid therefore, and any sales or dispositions
     of claims or interests for each of the entities.

Mr. Conlan contends that Rule 2019 requires the additional
disclosure.

Aurelius Capital Management LP and Columbus Hill Capital
Management, L.P., are managers of certain funds that are
beneficial holders of certain notes issued by the Debtors.

        Debtors Withdraw Request as to Cross and Wilkie

In a separate filing, the Debtors withdrew their request as it

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STAYTON SW: Court Approves Sunwest Purchase & Sale Agreement
------------------------------------------------------------
Stayton SW Assisted Living disclosed that US District Court Judge
Michael Hogan has approved an agreement to sell 149 senior housing
facilities to a joint venture formed by Blackstone Real Estate
Advisors VI L.P., Emeritus Senior Living, and Columbia Pacific
Advisors.  The Blackstone / Emeritus Joint Venture will become the
stalking horse bidder in a bankruptcy auction to be held on or
about May 17, 2010.

The transaction is valued at $1.3 billion and includes a
combination of cash, securities, and assumption of debt. The
Blackstone / Emeritus Joint Venture will purchase most of the
assets of the consolidated Sunwest enterprise.  Existing investors
and other claimants in the bankruptcy estate will be permitted to
exchange their claims for either cash or up to 49% of the units in
the venture.

"This is a very promising transaction for Sunwest's investors and
other creditors of the bankruptcy estate, for which we all owe
thanks to Judge Hogan and individuals he has appointed," said
Chief Restructuring Officer Clyde Hamstreet. "He employed an
effective mediation strategy, using [retired Lane County Circuit
Court Judge] Lyle Velure as mediator, to resolve most of the
financial and legal complexities and disputes.  This allowed
hundreds of Sunwest entities that were on the verge of liquidation
to be consolidated into a single viable business.  That act alone
created significant value for the estate to the benefit of
investors, lenders, and other creditors."

Investor groups also endorsed the Court's handling of the case.
"If it were not for Judge Hogan's concern for investors, his
belief in the company, and his willingness to stand up to secured
lenders seeking to foreclose on their collateral, most of us
investors would have lost everything," said Bill Bryan, Chairman
of the Management Committee, which consists of investor
representatives.  "Instead, we are looking forward to prospects of
a meaningful return of our investments. Judges Hogan and Velure,
the professionals working on this case, and the combined
creditors' committees have done a terrific job in making that
possible."

The Court selected the Blackstone / Emeritus Joint Venture as
stalking horse bidder over a competing proposal from AEW Capital
Management, which sought to make a preferred investment in the
reorganized company.  The two proposals were brought forward to
the Court by the Chief Restructuring Officer, Receiver Michael
Grassmueck, and the Management Committee after months of
negotiations.  Earlier in March, the Court appointed an
independent expert, Bettina Whyte of Bridge Associates, LLC, to
facilitate final negotiations with both Blackstone and AEW and
assist in evaluating the competing proposals.

"The final stages of negotiations resulted in a major gain to the
bankruptcy estate," Hamstreet said.  "Both bidders improved their
offers dramatically.  The real winners are the investors and
creditors of Sunwest.  Claimants who want cash will be able to
receive cash, while those who want to preserve their tax status or
share in the reorganized company's future potential will be able
to roll their existing investments into the new venture.  We have
been working very hard to provide this choice to investors and are
grateful to the Court, Ms. Whyte, and others involved for their
roles in bringing about this positive result."

The Court approved bid procedures to govern an upcoming six week
bidding period, and is expected to appoint an investment banker to
advise the estate during the bidding and auction process.

As lead bidder, the Blackstone / Emeritus Joint Venture will have
customary overbid protection and will receive break-up fees if
another bidder makes the highest and best bid at the auction.
Closing of the sale will be subject to customary conditions,
confirmation of Sunwest's plan of reorganization, completion of
loan modifications, and transfers of operating licenses.  Closing
is expected to occur in July 2010.

SUGARHOUSE HSP: S&P Affirms 'B-' Ratings on Senior Facilities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on
Sugarhouse HSP Gaming Prop. Mezz. L.P.'s senior secured credit
facilities following the add-on of an incremental $21.5 million to
its existing term loan facility.  S&P affirmed the issue-level
rating on the facilities at 'B-' (at the same level as the 'B-'
corporate credit rating on the company).  The recovery rating on
this debt remains at '3', indicating S&P's expectation of
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default.

The provisions of the existing credit agreement permit proceeds to
be used to finance the license fee and development costs for the
addition of table games at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.
The tack-on facility will maintain the same key terms as the
existing facility and will mature in September 2014.

S&P's corporate credit rating on HSP is 'B-' and the rating
outlook is negative.  Construction of the casino is ongoing and
the expected completion date has been pushed to September 2010
(from S&P's previous expectation of an opening in July 2010), due
to inclement weather resulting in construction delays.  While S&P
view the addition of table games as a positive for the property,
S&P is concerned that the construction delays will reduce the
amount available in the interest reserve account to fund interest
costs post-opening.  The interest reserve was originally funded to
accommodate three months of interest payments post-opening, which
S&P believes to be insufficient to offset the risk of a potential
slow ramp-up period for a newly constructed gaming facility.  S&P
expects that construction delays will further reduce the interest
reserve to an amount equivalent to prefund about one month of
interest post-opening, but expect that the company will have the
flexibility to draw on its $10 million revolver to fund debt
service costs if necessary at that time.

TELTRONICS INC: December 31 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $4.7MM

On March 24, 2010, Teltronics, Inc., filed its annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2009, showed
$11.5 million in assets and of $16.2 million of debts, for a
stockholders' deficit of $4.7 million.

The Company reported net income of $5.4 million on $43.1 million
of revenue for 2009, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million on
$34.6 million of revenue for 2008.  In June 2008 the Company

respectively.

TEXAS INDUSTRIES: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on cement producer Texas Industries Inc. to 'B' from 'B+'.
The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level rating on the
company's $550 million senior notes due 2013 to 'B' (the same as
the corporate credit rating) from 'B+'.  The recovery rating
remains '4', indicating S&P's expectation of average (30%-50%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade stems from S&P's belief that the recent operating
weakness, due to declining cement demand and prices, will continue
over the next several quarters and result in a deterioration of
credit metrics to levels weaker than S&P had previously expected
and more consistent with a lower rating," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Tobias Crabtree.  Specifically, S&P expects TXI to
maintain a leverage ratio, above 7.5x over the next several
quarters.
Nevertheless, S&P believes liquidity will be sufficient to cover
reduced capital spending requirements and operating and debt
service requirements over the next year.

The ratings reflect S&P's assessment of TXI's highly leveraged
financial risk profile and weak business profile, as TXI is
reliant on Texas and California end markets for a majority of
sales in comparison to larger, more geographically diverse cement
and aggregates companies.

The stable rating outlook reflects S&P's assessment that TXI's
liquidity will not materially decline from its current level over
the next several quarters and is sufficient to meet operating,
capital, and debt service requirements over the next 12 months.
S&P currently expect the company will maintain at least
$150 million in liquidity (after adjusting for its minimum
$40 million availability requirement to avoid its fixed-charge
covenant test) over the next several quarters based upon S&P's
projections.  S&P could take a negative rating action if
commercial construction weakens more than expected and
infrastructure spending does not begin to pick up, potentially
causing TXI to rely on its ABL facility to fund operating losses
which would further reduce its liquidity.  Specifically, this
could occur if fiscal 2011 EBITDA remains below $80 million, a
level S&P views as insufficient to cover the company's fixed
charges.

S&P could take a positive rating action, albeit unlikely given the
challenging operating environment, if volumes and revenue exceed
projected levels in the first half of fiscal 2011 and total debt
to EBITDA begins to trend toward 6x, which could occur if sales
increase more than 20% and EBITDA margins improve to over 13%.


TOR MINERALS: UHP LLP Raises Going Concern Doubt
------------------------------------------------
On March 24, 2010, TOR Minerals International, Inc., filed its
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

UHY LLP, in Houston, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company's credit facility with a financial
institution matures on August 15, 2010, at which time the credit
facility will be terminated as indicated by the financial
institution.  The Company may have difficulty in obtaining the
necessary financing to repay this credit facility.

The Company reported a net loss of $136,000 on $24,193,000 of
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a net
loss of $4,962,000 on $25,304,000 of revenue for 2008.

The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, showed
$32,876,000 in assets, $9,661,000 of debts, and $23,215,000 of
stockholders' equity.

UNITY NATIONAL: Closed; Bank of the Ozarks Assumes All Deposits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unity National Bank, Cartersville, Georgia, was closed on
March 26, 2010, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as
receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a
purchase and assumption agreement with Bank of the Ozarks, Little
Rock, Arkansas, to assume all of the deposits of Unity National
Bank.

The five branches of Unity National Bank reopened on Saturday as
branches of Bank of the Ozarks.  Depositors of Unity National Bank
will automatically become depositors of Bank of the Ozarks.
Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no
need for customers to change their banking relationship to retain
their deposit insurance coverage.  Customers should continue to
use their former Unity National Bank branch until they receive
notice from Bank of the Ozarks that it has completed systems
changes to allow other Bank of the Ozarks branches to process
their accounts as well.

As of December 31, 2009, Unity National Bank had around
$292.2 million in total assets and $264.3 million in total
deposits.  Bank of the Ozarks did not pay the FDIC a premium to
assume all of the deposits of Unity National Bank.  In addition to
assuming all of the deposits, Bank of the Ozarks agreed to
purchase essentially all of the failed bank's assets.

The FDIC and Bank of the Ozarks entered into a loss-share
transaction on $206.1 million of Unity National Bank's assets.
Bank of the Ozarks 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, 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 1-800-815-0268.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/unity-natl.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $67.2 million.  Bank of the Ozarks' acquisition of all the
deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to all alternatives.  Unity National Bank is the 40th
FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
seventh in Georgia.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in
the state was McIntosh Commercial Bank, Carrollton, also on
March 26, 2010.

Centrifuge technology demonstration and manufacturing activities,
with a total estimated cost of $90 million. The Agreement is for
work performed from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

Under the Agreement, DOE will accept title to quantities of
depleted uranium that will enable USEC to release encumbered funds
for approximately 50% of the total estimated cost of the project
scope up to $45 million. Depleted uranium is generated as a result

expense, for the storage of the transferred depleted uranium until
DOE takes custody and possession of the material.  USEC will
provide cost sharing equal to 50% of the total estimated cost of

sharing of at least $45 million, DOE's obligations will be
adjusted pro rata.

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, in Edison, N.J., expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has incurred recurring losses and is dependent upon obtaining
sufficient additional financing to fund operations and has not
been able to meet all of its obligations as they become due.

The Company reported a net loss of $33.9 million on $4.6 million
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a
net loss of $8.0 million on $3.2 million of revenue for 2008.

$35.9 million related to the difference in fair value of the
incremental shares received by Spencer Trask Specialty Group, LLC
or STSG in connection with the December 24, 2009 restructuring  of
over $20.3 million of preferred stock and senior secured debt that
the Company owed to STSG.  As a result of this restructuring, STSG
owned roughly 84.8% of the Company's issued and outstanding common
stock on a fully diluted basis as of December 31, 2009.

VYTERIS INC: Selects Joel Kanter to Board of Directors
------------------------------------------------------
Vyteris Inc. appointed Joel Kanter to the Company's Board of
Directors.  Mr. Kanter currently serves as the President of Windy
City Inc., an investment management firm.  He has over 20 years of
experience in providing financing and M&A advisory services for
growing life sciences companies.

"[Mr. Kanter's] background as a financier for development-stage
companies adds important resources and insight to our Board as we
continue our financial restructuring and position the business for
growth over the long-term," said Dr. Haro Hartounian, president
and chief executive officer of Vyteris, Inc.  "We welcome him to
the Vyteris Board and look forward to drawing on his experience as
we advance the development and strategic partnering efforts for
our validated transdermal drug delivery technology."


Mr. Kanter has served as President of Windy City since 1986.  From
1989 to 1999 he was President, and subsequently President and
Chief Executive Officer, of Walnut Financial Services, a publicly-
traded financial services firm that provided financing for small
businesses, including start-up and early-stage development
companies.  From 1985 to 1986, Mr. Kanter served as Managing

of delivering a broad range of drugs, including larger molecules
typically delivered intravenously, on complex and varied delivery
schedules," said Mr. Kanter.  "This unique delivery system has a
number of strategic applications for drug makers, and provides a
strong foundation for future value-creation through potential
partnerships, licensing agreements and proprietary development
efforts.  I look forward to working with Vyteris in furthering the

                          Going Concern

At September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of $1,052,829
against total liabilities of $33,793,157, resulting in
stockholders' deficit of $32,740,328.

"There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. We have implemented severe cost reduction measures,
including headcount reductions, abandoning our leased facility at
17-01 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, NJ and reducing the level of
effort spent on research and development programs, other than our
female infertility treatment," the Company said in its Form 10-Q
filing for the September 30, 2009 quarterly period.

A significant portion of the Company's indebtedness will become
due in June 2010.  The Company has said it is likely that
additional funding will not be available on favorable terms if
available at all.  "Unless we are able to raise sufficient capital
to fund payment of those past due amounts, we may be forced to
consider extraordinary measures such as bankruptcy," the Company
said.

In February 2010, Vyteris unveiled a private placement of
$1,060,000 of Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes due
2013.  Vyteris intends to use the net proceeds of the private
placement for research and development, working capital and
general corporate purposes.

The notes bear no interest and are convertible into common stock
of Vyteris at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share.  The
sale of the notes also included issuance to investors of five-year
warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 5,300,000 shares of
Vyteris common stock at $0.20 per share.

Haro Hartounian, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of
Vyteris, said in February that over the past three months, the
Company's financial restructuring efforts have raised $4.0 million
in capital and eliminated roughly $25.0 million in debt and
redeemable preferred stock.

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Files Plan of Reorganization
-----------------------------------------------
Washington Mutual, Inc., has filed a Plan of Reorganization and
Disclosure Statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware.  The Plan implements and incorporates
the terms of the global settlement agreement reached among WMI,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, which was announced to the Bankruptcy Court on
March 12, 2010, and is set forth in the draft settlement agreement
annexed to the Plan.  The provisions of the proposed settlement
agreement have been agreed to by WMI, JPMC and significant
creditor groups of the Company.  As of this date, the FDIC has not
agreed to all of the provisions contained in the draft settlement
agreement.  However, discussions are ongoing among the parties and
they are hopeful that such agreement will be obtained in the near
future.

The Plan is supported by JPMC and significant creditor groups of
the Company.

WMI issued the following statement:

"WMI is pleased to have reached this important milestone in the
Chapter 11 process.  The proposed Plan will provide substantial
recoveries for the Company's creditors and reflects WMI's diligent
efforts over the last 18 months to maximize the value of the
bankruptcy estate."

The Plan, under which the Settlement will be implemented, also
contemplates, among other things:

WMI will establish a liquidating trust to make distributions to
creditors on account of their allowed claims.  In accordance with
the terms of the Plan, the trust will distribute funds in excess
of approximately $7 billion, including approximately $4 billion of
previously disputed funds on deposit with JPMC.

It is anticipated that the reorganized WMI will undertake a rights
offering pursuant to which certain creditors will receive a right
to purchase newly issued shares of reorganized WMI common stock.
The reorganized WMI will retain equity interests in WMI Investment
Corp. and WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company.

JPMC will assume certain liabilities related to benefit plans.

The various litigations involving WMI, JPMC and FDIC will be
stayed or dismissed.  In addition, JPMC and the FDIC  will
withdraw claims against WMI's bankruptcy estate and the parties
will exchange mutual releases.

Preferred and common equity securities previously issued by WMI
will be cancelled.

WMI has requested that the Bankruptcy Court schedule a hearing on
May 19, 2010 to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement.
Following approval of the Disclosure Statement, WMI will ask the
Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan by July 20, 2010.

The Disclosure Statement filed today contains historical
information regarding WMI and certain of its affiliates, a
description of proposed distributions to creditors, an analysis of
the Plan's feasibility, as well as many of the technical matters
required for the solicitation process, such as descriptions of who
will be eligible to vote on the Plan and the voting process
itself.

WMI's Plan and Disclosure Statement are available at
http://www.kccllc.net/wamu. The Plan is subject to confirmation
by the Court.

YRC WORLDWIDE: Delays Effective Date of Registration Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------
YRC Worldwide Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM S-3 Registration Statement
Under The Securities Act of 1933 to delay the effective date of
the registration statement.

On February 11, 2010, YRC signed a Note Purchase Agreement with
certain investors pursuant to which the investors agreed to
purchase from YRC up to $70,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
of YRC's 6% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014.  The Troubled
Company Reporter ran a story on the deal on February 16, 2010.

YRC has filed a prospectus which will be used by selling
securityholders to resell the notes and the common stock issuable
on account of the notes from time to time.

YRC said the selling securityholders are Alden Global Distressed
Opportunities Fund, LP; Aristeia Master, L.P.; Investcorp
Silverback Arbitrage Master Fund, Ltd.; and Investcorp Silverback
Opportunistic Convertible Master Fund, Ltd.

The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum.  Interest on
the notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year,
beginning on August 15, 2010.  YRC expects to pay interest due on
the notes in 2010 through the issuance of additional shares of its
common stock.  YRC may also be required, pursuant to the terms of
its senior secured credit agreement, to pay interest on the notes
due after 2010 through the issuance of additional shares of YRC
common stock.

The notes will mature on February 15, 2014.  YRC may not redeem
the notes prior to the stated maturity.  Holders may require YRC
to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon certain changes
in control of YRC Worldwide Inc., at 100% of the principal amount
of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated
damages due the holders of the notes under the registration rights
agreement with the initial buyers of the notes, if any, to the
date of repurchase, payable in cash.

The notes are convertible, at the noteholder's option, at any time
and from time to time, into shares of YRC common stock.  The notes
are initially convertible at a conversion price of $0.43 per
share, which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately
2,325.5814 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to
adjustment.  The number of shares issuable on account of the notes
is subject to certain limitations and the right of holders of the
notes to convert their notes into shares is subject to certain
ownership limitations.

YRC's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market
under the symbol "YRCW."  On March 22, 2010, the closing sale
price of YRC common stock was $0.45 per share.  The notes are not
listed or quoted on any securities exchange or quotation service
and will be issued in physical form.

Beginning on February 23, 2012, if the sale price of YRC common
stock meets certain thresholds, YRC may at such time, and from
time to time, elect to have some or all of the notes converted
into shares of YRC common stock.

Noteholders who convert their notes at their option or whose notes
are converted at YRC's option will also receive additional shares
of YRC common stock issued in lieu of interest a holder of such
notes would have been entitled to receive had such holder held
such notes through maturity.

The notes are YRC's senior unsecured obligations.

Overland Park, Kansas-based YRC Worldwide Inc., one of the largest
transportation service providers in the world, is a holding
company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers a
wide range of transportation services.  These services include
global, national and regional transportation as well as logistics.

KPMG LLP, in Kansas City, Missouri, expressed substantial doubt
about YRC Worldwide's ability to continue as a going concern in
its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has experienced significant
declines in operations, cash flows, and liquidity.

The Company's balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2009, showed
$3.032 billion in assets, $2.865 billion and of debts, and
$167.2 million of stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 26, 2010, Fitch
Ratings has assigned a rating of 'C/RR6' to YRC Worldwide's
new 6% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2014.  The first
tranche of new notes, totaling $49.8 million, was issued on
Feb. 23, 2010.  Proceeds from this tranche will be used to repay
the $45 million in remaining outstanding principal on YRC Regional
Transportation Inc.'s 8.5% senior secured notes (known as the USF
notes).

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).  At the same
time, 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.

Congress 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 8,012 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.


* Bank Failures This Year Now 41 as Four Banks Are Shut
-------------------------------------------------------
Regulators closed four banks -- McIntosh Commercial Bank,
Carrollton, GA; Desert Hills Bank, Phoenix, AZ; Unity National
Bank, Cartersville, GA; and Key West Bank, Key West, FL -- on
March 26, raising the total closings for this year to 41.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed receiver
for the banks.  The FDIC was able to find banks who are assuming
the deposits and taking over operations of the banks closed last
Friday.

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

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

                    2010 Failed Banks List

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

For this year, the failed banks are:

In 2009, there were 140 failed banks, compared with just 25 for
2008.

A complete list of banks that failed since 2000 is available at:

                   702 Banks on Problem List

In its quarterly banking profile, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. said that the number of institutions on its "Problem List"
rose to 702 at the end of 2009, from 552 at the end of the third
quarter and 252 at the end of 2008.

The FDIC, in its February 23 report, said that total assets of
"problem" institutions were $402.8 billion at yearend 2009,
compared with $345.9 billion at the end of September and $159.0
billion at the end of 2008.  Both the number and assets of
"problem" institutions are at the highest level since June 30,
1993.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) decreased by $12.6 billion during
the fourth quarter to a negative $20.9 billion (unaudited)
primarily because of $17.8 billion in additional provisions for
bank failures.  Also, unrealized losses on available-for-sale
securities combined with operating expenses reduced the fund by
$692 million.  Accrued assessment income added $3.1 billion to the
fund during the quarter, and interest earned, combined with
termination fees on loss share guarantees and surcharges from the
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program added $2.8 billion.  For the
year, the fund balance shrank by $38.1 billion, compared to a
$35.1 billion decrease in 2008.  The DIF's reserve ratio was
negative 0.39% on December 31, 2009, down from negative 0.16% on
September 30, 2009, and 0.36% a year ago.  The December 31, 2009,
reserve ratio is the lowest reserve ratio for a combined bank and
thrift insurance fund on record.

Forty-five insured institutions with combined assets of
$65.0 billion failed during the fourth quarter of 2009, at an
estimated cost of $10.2 billion.  For all of 2009, 140 FDIC-
insured institutions with assets of $169.7 billion failed, at an
estimated cost of $37.4 billion.  This was the largest number of
failures since 1990 when 168 institutions with combined assets of
$16.9 billion failed.

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.

"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

                Guarantees for Buyers Reduced

Phil Mattingly at Bloomberg News reports that the FDIC said it
will stop offering to absorb 95% of losses for purchasers of
failed banks, signaling the agency's optimism it will find more
willing buyers as the U.S. economy improves.

"This is a positive development," FDIC spokesman Andrew Gray said
in an e-mail to Bloomberg confirming the plan.  "As a result of
better pricing, more competitive bidding and an improving economy,
the FDIC feels that it can explore this step."

The agency will continue to offer coverage for 80% of losses on
some transactions, Mr. Gray said.

According to Bloomberg, the FDIC, which introduced loss-sharing
agreements during the savings-and-loan crisis in 1991, resumed
using them in 2008 amid bank failures stemming from the collapse
of the subprime mortgage market. As of the end of 2009, the FDIC
had entered into 94 loss-sharing agreements with $122 billion in
assets under loss share, according to the agency.


* FDIC Raises $653 Million in Sale of Guaranteed Notes
------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. sold $653 million of
guaranteed notes backed by residential mortgages and seized
properties from a failed bank, Bloomberg's Jody Shenn reported,
citing a person familiar with the transaction.

According to the report, the securities sold at yields of 3.032%,

                           *********

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.
