MarriaGe licensesA Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remain-ing property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business.A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankrupt-cy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

By ReBecca SantanaAssociated Press

AT THE IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER — Outside it was pitch dark. The six Ameri-can soldiers couldn’t see much of the desert landscape streaming by outside the small windows of their armored vehicle. They were hushed and exhausted from an all-night drive — part of the last convoy of U.S. troops to leave Iraq during the final moment of a nearly nine-year war.

As dawn broke Sunday, a small clus-ter of Iraqi soldiers along the highway waved goodbye to the departing American troops.

“My heart goes out to the Iraqis,” said Warrant Officer John Jewell. “The innocent always pay the bill.”

When they finally crossed the sand berm that separates Iraq from Kuwait, illu-minated by floodlights and crisscrossed with barbed wire, the mood inside Jewell’s vehicle was subdued. No cheers. No hugs. Mostly just relief.

His comrade, Sgt. Ashley Vorhees, mus-tered a bit more excitement.

“I’m out of Iraq,” she said. “It’s all smooth sailing from here.”

The final withdrawal was the starkest of contrasts to the start of the war, which began before dawn on March 20, 2003. That morning, an airstrike in southern Bagh-dad, where Saddam Hussein was believed to be hiding, marked the opening shot of the famed “shock and awe” bombardment. U.S. and allied ground forces then stormed from Kuwait toward the capital, hurtling north across southern Iraq’s featureless deserts.

The last convoy of heavily armored personnel carriers, known as MRAPS, left the staging base at Camp Adder in south-ern Iraq in Sunday’s early hours. They

slipped out under cover of darkness and strict secrecy to prevent any final attacks. The 500 soldiers didn’t even tell their Iraqi comrades on the base they were leaving.

The attack never materialized. The fear, though, spoke volumes about the country they left behind — shattered, still danger-ous and containing a good number of peo-ple who still see Americans not as the ally who helped them end Saddam’s dictator-ship, but as an enemy.

About 110 vehicles made the last trip from Camp Adder to the “berm” in Kuwait, the long mound of earth over which tens of thousands of American troops charged into Iraq at the start of the war.

The roughly five-hour drive was uneventful, with the exception of a few vehicle malfunctions.

The war that began eight years and nine months earlier cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The bit-terly divisive conflict left Iraq shattered and struggling to recover. For the United States, two central questions remain unanswered: whether it was all worth it, and whether the new government the Americans leave behind will remain a steadfast U.S. ally or drift into Iran’s orbit.

Sgt. First Class Hilda McNamee was the truck commander in the last MRAP to drive out of Iraq. The 34-year-old said when she gets back to Texas, she plans to take her son to the International House of Pancakes.

For her the significance of the last con-voy driving out was immediately apparent.

“It means I won’t open a newspaper and find out that one of my friends passed away,” said McNamee.

She welled up but didn’t want to go any deeper. Some memories will always be too fresh.

Kim Jong Un, as his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts.

Even with a successor, there had been some fear among North Korean observers of a behind-the-scenes power struggle or nuclear instability upon the elder Kim’s death.

Few firm facts are available when it comes to North Korea, one of the most isolated countries in the world, and not much is clear about the man known as the “Dear Leader.”

North Korean legend has it that Kim was born on Mount Paekdu, one of Korea’s most cherished sites, in 1942, a birth her-alded in the heavens by a pair of rainbows and a brilliant new star.

Soviet records, however, indicate he was born in Siberia, in 1941.

Kim Il Sung, who for years fought for independence from Korea’s colonial ruler, Japan, from a base in Russia, emerged as a communist leader after returning to Korea in 1945 after Japan was defeated in World War II.

With the peninsula divided between the Soviet-administered north and the U.S.-administered south, Kim rose to power as North Korea’s first leader in 1948 while Syngman Rhee became South Korea’s first president.

The North invaded the South in 1950, sparking a war that would last three years, kill millions of civilians and leave the pen-insula divided by a Demilitarized Zone that today remains one of the world’s most heavily fortified.

In the North, Kim Il Sung meshed Stalinist ideology with a cult of person-ality that encompassed him and his son. Their portraits hang in every building in North Korea and on the lapels of every dutiful North Korean.

Kim Jong Il, a graduate of Pyongyang’s Kim Il Sung University, was 33 when his father anointed him his eventual succes-sor.

Even before he took over as leader, there were signs the younger Kim would maintain — and perhaps exceed — his father’s hard-line stance.

South Korea has accused Kim of mas-terminding a 1983 bombing that killed 17 South Korean officials visiting Burma, now known as Myanmar. In 1987, the bombing of a Korean Air Flight killed all 115 peo-ple on board; a North Korean agent who confessed to planting the device said Kim ordered the downing of the plane him-self.

Kim Jong Il took over after his father died in 1994, eventually taking the posts of chairman of the National Defense Commission, commander of the Korean People’s Army and head of the ruling Worker’s Party while his father remained as North Korea’s “eternal president.”

He faithfully carried out his father’s policy of “military first,” devoting much of the country’s scarce resources to its troops — even as his people suffered from a pro-longed famine — and built the world’s fifth-largest military.

Kim also sought to build up the coun-try’s nuclear arms arsenal, which culmi-nated in North Korea’s first nuclear test explosion, an underground blast con-ducted in October 2006. Another test came in 2009.

Alarmed, regional leaders negotiated a disarmament-for-aid pact that the North signed in 2007 and began implementing later that year.

However, the process continues to be stalled, even as diplomats work to restart negotiations.

North Korea, long hampered by sanc-tions and unable to feed its own people, is desperate for aid. Flooding in the 1990s that destroyed the largely mountainous country’s arable land left millions hun-gry.

Following the famine, the number of North Koreans fleeing the country through China rose dramatically, with many telling tales of hunger, political per-secution and rights abuses that officials in Pyongyang emphatically denied.

CONCORD, N.H. — Just a year ago, tea party activists came roar-ing out of the congressional elec-tions eager to shape the looming race for the White House.

Things have not gone as planned.

Turned off by Mitt Romney’s style and evolution on sever-al important issues, they have bounced from one candidate to another in hopes of finding a for-midable alternative to the former Massachusetts governor to focus their enthusiasm.

After a series of disappoint-ments — Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and businessman Herman Cain among them — the anti-establish-ment movement has settled, for now, on a favorite: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, even though he has spent more than three decades in Washington poli-tics.

With the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3 and tea party support fractured at best, some activists worry that the passion that defined the move-ment 13 months ago may become lost in the selection of the next president.

Infighting among conservative groups, a growing sense of prag-matism, and glaring weaknesses among the candidates have forced some tea party leaders to acknowl-edge their limits and shift their attention to Congress.

“I wish that we had coalesced behind one candidate earlier on. It’s not because of the tea party movement, it’s because there hasn’t been that candidate out there so far that has stirred the pas-sion — the fire in the belly,” said Amy Kremer, president of the Tea Party Express. “Everybody wants to focus on presidential politics. I think we need to be focused on

the Senate. That’s where we really, really need to be engaged.”

Lacking a presidential contend-er to rally behind, Kremer’s organi-zation and others have begun eye-ing congressional elections that could shift the balance of power on Capitol Hill next fall regardless of the presidential race winner.

Other tea party groups, despite a desire to play prominently in the White House contest, are left to focus on policy debates in Con-gress.

They’ve already helped shape the debate over federal spending, pushing the House to pass a bal-anced budget amendment while

rejecting Democrats’ effort to raise new revenues to help close the federal deficit.

“We’ve changed the discus-sion on Capitol Hill and we’ve let the politicians know we get the game they’re playing,” said Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots. “We always said last year that after the November elec-tion that our work was just begin-ning.”

Some grassroots convervatives have embraced Romney. Others have latched onto Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s fiery candidacy. Many more say they’re simply not sure where to go.
