CATTLE SALE

MARRIAGE LICENSES

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining 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.

In complicating move, al-Qaida backs Syrian revolt

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy Associated Press

BEIRUT — Al-Qaida’s leader has called for the ouster of Syria’s “pernicious, cancerous regime,” raising fears that Islamic extremists will try to exploit an uprising against President Bashar Assad that began with peaceful calls for democratic change but is morphing into a bloody, armed insurgency.

The regime has long blamed terrorists for the 11-month-old revolt, and al-Qaida’s endorsement creates new difficulties for the U.S., its Western allies and Arab states trying to figure out a way to help force Assad from power. On Sunday, the 22-nation Arab League called for the U.N. Security Council to create a joint peacekeeping force for Syria, but Damascus rejected it immediately.

In an eight-minute video message released late Saturday, alQaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to support Syrian rebels.

“Wounded Syria is still bleeding day after day, and the butcher (Bashar Assad) isn’t deterred and doesn’t stop,” said al-Zawahri, who took over al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. spe-

Associated Press

Mourners carry the body of a Syrian rebel the day after he was killed in fighting in Idlib, Syria, Sunday. cial forces last May. “However, the resistance of our people in Syria is escalating and growing despite all the pains, sacrifices and blood.”

The United Nations estimates more than 5,400 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began in March. But that figure is from January, when the U.N. stopped counting because the chaos in the country has made it all but impossible to check the figures.

While many of the anti-govern-

ment protests sweeping the country remain peaceful, the uprising as a whole has become more violent in recent months as frustrated demonstrators and army defectors take up arms to protect themselves from the steady military assault. An increasing number of army defectors known as the Free Syrian Army have launched attacks, killing soldiers and security forces.

Syria now has become one of the deadliest conflicts of the Arab

Spring, and many fear the country of 22 million at the heart of the Arab world is on the verge of a civil war that could engulf the region.

In a grave escalation of the violence, a string of suicide attacks have killed dozens of people since late December. The latest, twin bombings in the major northern city of Aleppo, killed at least 28 people on Friday, the government said. Some 70 people were killed in earlier attacks in the capital, Damascus, on Dec. 23 and Jan. 6.

All the blasts struck security targets.

Nobody has taken responsibility for the attacks, but the regime said they have the hallmarks of alQaida and immediately blamed the global terror group.

Saturday’s statement by alZawahri appears to bolster Assad’s accusations, but the Syrian opposition and the Free Syrian Army reject the government’s claims entirely. They accuse forces loyal to the regime of setting off the blasts to smear the opposition, terrify people into submission and exploit fears of chaos and sectarian warfare.

For many Syrians, the uncertainty over the future is cause for alarm in a country that has watched neighboring Lebanon

and Iraq descend into bloody wars over the years. Syria is a fragile jigsaw puzzle of Middle Eastern backgrounds including Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites, Christians, Kurds, Druse, Circassians, Armenians and more.

After Friday’s bombings in Aleppo, Zuheir al-Atasi, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council, accused the government of staging the attacks.

“After the heavy explosions, members of the opposition went to the site to film it. There were ambulances but no corpses. We documented that on tape,” he said in Vienna during a gathering of Syrian opposition groups.

“When the Syrian National TV arrived they started to bring out corpses. Once again we witnessed a theater play.”

There is virtually no way to determine who was behind the attacks or to perform an independent investigation in Syria, one of the most authoritarian states in the Middle East. Assad has largely sealed off the country and prevented reporters from moving freely. The Arab League sent a now-suspended observer mission into the country to provide an outside view, but government minders accompanied the team.

From the go, roller-coaster GOP race

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — From the start, it’s been a roller-coaster race for the Republican presidential nomination.

GOP primary voters can catch their collective breath for the next two weeks after spending the past six lurching toward one candidate and then another in an exercise of political soul-searching that appears far from settled.

The next contests, in Arizona and Michigan, aren’t until Feb. 28. The party with a reputation for order may have it sorted out after March 6, when 10 states get their say. But that would break sharply with this race’s tendency toward uncertainty.

“It’s just frenetic,” says Sally Bradshaw, a Republican strategist and longtime aide to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. “Everyone is changing their mind every week. It is so unpredictable.”

To Bradshaw, “it’s a sign of a party that does not yet know its path.”

With nine contests down, Mitt Romney leads the delegate hunt, and has both the money and the organization to compete deep into the state-by-state nomination calendar. The last contest, in Utah, is set for June 26.

But his two main rivals have scored decisive victo-

ries, putting into doubt the strength of the former Massachusetts governor’s frontrunning candidacy.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s sweep of Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri this past week is a reminder of Romney’s failures to win over conservatives. That was the case, too, in South Carolina, where former House Speaker Newt Gingrich finished first. The near-victory by Texas Rep. Ron Paul in Maine on Saturday further exposed the GOP’s deep divisions.

No one has proved able to assemble a broad coalition of establishment party leaders, social conservatives and tea party activists in a party that lacks a natural national leader such as a former president to influence the rank and file.

The four candidates have had the stage to themselves for only three weeks, survivors in a competition over many months that saw politicians get in and then get out or go through very public deliberations about running before ditching the notion.

Governors, senators and others tempted to run stayed on the sidelines despite much public pressure. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie went back and forth before declining to enter. Donald Trump passed. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin teased well into the fall.

Obama pitches middle while GOP eyes base Analysis

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The dustup over contraception underscored President Barack Obama’s political edge in working to attract independent voters without alienating his Democratic base. His Republican rivals are forced to keep emphasizing their conservative credentials to attract the right-leaning activists who dominate the nominating contests.

It’s a dynamic that usually plays out when a president seeks re-election without a primary challenger, and the other party fights to determine its nominee.

Obama already is in generalelection mode, with the luxury of courting voters who don’t ascribe to a political party. The eventual Republican nominee is moving to the right and probably will have to edge back toward the center in the fall. The farther he must go to the fringe to win the nod, however, the tougher his task.

The difference was clear Friday, at events two miles apart in Washington.

At the White House, Obama made a carefully calibrated concession to Catholics angered by his decision to require religious-affiliated employers, including Catholic hospitals and colleges, to cover birth control in their health insurance plans. The president tweaked the rule Friday. He said insurance companies would provide contraceptive benefits directly to employees, technically leaving employers out of the transaction.

White House and Obama cam-

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Friday. paign officials were relieved by the initial reaction.

Groups such as Planned Parenthood, which privately had urged no changes, praised the move. More important, so did the influential Catholic Health Association of the United States, whose criticism of the original rule spelled trouble for Obama’s team.

At the same time across town, three of the four GOP presidential candidates appeared separately at the Conservative Political Action Conference, a major annual gathering of activists on the political right.

Each tried to out-do the other in proclaiming conservative fealty.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former House speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsyl-

vania Sen. Rick Santorum criticized Obama’s contraception policy. They painted themselves as conservative crusaders on a range of issues.

Romney drew snickers by saying he was a “severely conservative governor.” Gingrich said the Obama administration “is waging war on religion.”

Santorum, who built much of his national profile by fighting legalized abortion, said Obama is “telling the Catholic Church that they are forced to pay for things that are against their basic tenets and teachings.”

“It’s not about contraception,” he said. “It’s about economic liberty.

It’s about freedom of speech. It’s about freedom of religion.”

Democrats hope independent voters will see it differently. Americans, including Catholics, overwhelmingly embrace birth control.

Obama’s goal was to reframe his policy as a matter of equal access to preventive health care, not a quarrel about religious or economic rights.

“I think the president ended up looking like the responsible person in the room,” said Lanae Erickson of the Democratic-leaning group Third Way, which has studied independent voting trends. “The Republican primary candidates went way out on a limb and will alienate themselves with independent voters,” she said.

The CPAC speeches were standard fare for such conservative gatherings, and they may not matter much in November. But Democrats will try to use the remarks to portray the eventual GOP nominee as out of touch with middle America.

For now, they’re focusing mainly on Romney, who won Saturday’s straw poll at CPAC and the Maine GOP caucuses.
