| Coldwell Banker Office Owner Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
During the slow real estate market, only the strong survive. A residential real estate broker recently closed its doors in the South Bay area. Joel Forral, owner of Coldwell Banker Alliance in Chula Vista, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the federal bankruptcy court in San Diego in September. In Chapter 7 or liquidation bankruptcy, the debtor turns over all nonexempt property to a trustee, who sells it for the benefit of creditors. According to court documents, Forral listed liabilities in excess of $6.38 million and assets of $2.4 million. His filing indicated that he owes personal and business taxes, as well as money to utilities linked to Coldwell Banker Alliance, franchise fees and money for advertising expenses. David Siroty, a spokesman at the Coldwell Banker corporate offices in Parsippany, N.J., says the company was told in midsummer that Forral sought legal counsel on closing his franchise.

Gates praises NATO's 'powerful role' in Afghanistan Lolita C. Baldor / Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday that sending Marines to Afghanistan will keep pressure on the Taliban and doesn't "reflect dissatisfaction" with NATO countries' performance. He was trying to smooth over comments a day earlier that sparked an international furor. The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Gates said U.S. forces in eastern Afghanistan are doing a terrific job but that he is concerned that NATO allies are not well trained in counterinsurgency operations. "Allied forces ... have stepped up to the plate and are playing a significant and powerful role in Afghanistan," Gates told a Pentagon press conference, which officials said had purposely been rescheduled for earlier in the day Thursday to meet European news deadlines.
