Steve & Barry's buyer in default

BH S&B Holdings, the investor group that bought retailer Steve & Barry's LLC out of bankruptcy in August for $163 million, sought court protection itself, citing the deteriorating U.S. economy.

BH S&B was formed by Bay Harbour Management LC, York Capital Management and Hilco Merchant Resources LLC, with Steve & Barry's co- founders Steven Shore and Barry Prevor as investors.

The new company said it defaulted on senior secured loans, has no financing prospects and intends to liquidate all inventory by early next year.

In September, the company said stores in Akron at Chapel Hill Mall, in Jackson Township on Belden Village Street, in New Philadelphia at the New Towne Mall, and in Cleveland at Richmond Town Square would remain open. Six Northeast Ohio stores closed.

Firestone says pact will help all Liberia

Firestone Natural Rubber Co. LLC, Liberia's biggest rubber plantation, says its new concession agreement signed with the government this year will benefit all the people of the west African country.

Firestone was responding to criticism from a Liberian conservation group, Save My Future Foundation, and international campaigner, Global Witness, that the agreement, by excluding the company's U.S. parent, will make it more difficult for Liberia to seek compensation if the contract is breached.
