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. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

The same pronounced in sitcoms as it has in draissue has crept into NBC’s “Parks and mas, but the trend is going that way. On Recreation,” the likable small-town cable, niche sitcoms like “It’s Always

Sunny in Philadelphia,” “The League” and “Archer” have pushed the boundaries of taste, reveling in their freedom. But there are only two must-watch comedies on TV now that “30 Rock” is over. Both are on cable and both draw more from independent film than from sitcom history: Louis C.K.’s “Louie” (currently on hiatus for FX) and Lena Dunham’s “Girls” on HBO. A comedian interested in a TV series now is less likely to strive for the large broadcast audience of “30 Rock” than follow in the personal storytelling of Dunham and C.K. (C.K., after all, already tried updating the sitcom with “Lucky Louie,” which kept the traditional multi-camera, studio audience formula but built episodes around real adult problems and mature jokes. It lasted one season on HBO.) The most anticipated upcoming sitcom premiere isn’t on broadcast or even cable. Netflix will debut a new season of “Arrested Development” in May, years after it was canceled on Fox. Sitcom nostalgia may already be in full swing. “30 Rock” always skewered its own small stature at NBC and it went out that way, too. In the finale, Fey’s Liz Lemon pitches the newly minted NBC president Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) a show exactly like “30 Rock.” He has no interest, though, in a show about “an angry New York crankypants.” Lemon replies: “I’ll go to cable where you can swear and really take time to let moments land,” at which point the scene abruptly shifts. But the joke is a loving one. Lemon, like Fey, doesn’t really want a cult comedy on cable. The episode ends with a vision of a future with flying cars where an age-defying Kenneth happily bankrolls a show like “30 Rock” from Lemon’s great-granddaughter. If that’s what it will take for a successor to “30 Rock,” we better start making cars fly.
