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:

BAUCHI, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber drove into a church compound in northern Nigeria Sunday and detonated his explo-sives as worshippers left an early morning service, kill-ing at least 15 people and wounding dozens more, officials and witnesses said.

The bomber targeted the Living Faith church, in a neighborhood near the air-port in Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi state. The timed blast caught many people outside the church without any cover to protect them-selves from the explosion, causing heavy casualties, witnesses said.

At least 15 people died in the blast, not counting the suicide bomber, the Nige-rian Red Cross said, while more than 30 people suf-fered injuries.

Bauchi state police com-missioner Mohammed Ladan said security per-sonnel stationed near the church compound stopped the car from getting any closer to worshippers than it did.

The powerful blast from the car destroyed part of the Living Faith Church, send-ing walls of the building crashing down on worship-pers still inside. Others suf-fered burns in the blast.

No group immediately claimed responsibility

for the attack, though the attack comes as Nigeria faces a growing wave of sectarian violence carried out by a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram. Boko Haram, whose name means “Western education is sacrilege” in the Hausa language of Nigeria’s pre-dominantly Muslim north, has been blamed for killing more than 530 people this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.

The sect’s targets have included churches, often attacked by suicide car bombers. The sect has been largely quiet since claiming a suicide car bombing and another attack at offices of a newspaper on April 26.

ing in Africa’s most populous nation.Jonathan “prays that God Almighty

will grant the families of the victims of the plane crash the courage and for-titude to bear their irreparable loss,” a statement from his office read.

The aircraft appeared to have landed on its belly into the dense neighborhood that sits along the typical approach path taken by aircraft head-ing into Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The plane tore through roofs, sheared a mango tree and rammed into a woodworking stu-dio, a printing press and at least two large apartment buildings in the neigh-borhood before stopping.

A white, noxious cloud rose from the crash site that burned onlookers’ eyes, as pieces of the plane lay scattered around the muddy ground.

While local residents helped carry fire hoses to the crash site, the major challenges of life in oil-rich Nigeria quickly became apparent as there wasn’t any water to put out the flames more than three hours later. Some young men carried plastic buckets of water to the fire, trying to douse small portions. Fire trucks, from the very few that are stationed in Lagos state with a population of 17.5 million, couldn’t carry enough water. Officials comman-deered water trucks from nearby con-struction sites, but they became stuck on the narrow, crowded roads, unable to reach the crash site.

The dead included at least four Chi-nese citizens, the official Chinese news agency Xinhua reported late Sunday, citing Chinese diplomats in Nigeria. Officials at the Chinese embassy in Nigeria could not be reached for com-ment by the AP.

Nigeria, home to more than 160

million people, suffers from endemic government corruption and misman-agement. The nation also has a history of major aviation disasters, though in recent years there hasn’t been a crash. In August 2010, the U.S. announced it had given Nigeria the Federal Aviation Administration’s Category 1 status, its top safety rating that allows the West African nation’s domestic carriers to fly directly to the U.S.

But many travelers remain leery of some airlines. On Saturday night, a Nigerian Boeing 727 cargo airliner crashed in Accra, the capital of Ghana, slamming into a bus and killing 10 peo-ple. The plane belonged to Lagos-based Allied Air Cargo.

Officials with Lagos-based Dana Air did not respond to calls for com-ment Sunday night. The airline has five aircraft in its fleet and runs both regional and domestic flights. Local media reported a similar Dana flight in May made an emergency landing at the Lagos airport after having a hydraulic problem.

Nigeria has tried to redeem its avia-tion image in recent years, saying it now has full radar coverage of the entire country. However, in a nation where the state-run electricity company is in tatters, the power grid and diesel gen-erators sometimes both fail at airports, making radar screens go blank.

Sunday’s crash appeared to be the worst since September 1992.

As night began to fall Sunday, more and more worried relatives of pas-sengers arrived in the neighborhood, pushing their way down the crowded, narrow streets to make it to the crash site. One man stopped to ask about the crash, whether any passengers walked away alive.

His eyes grew wide when he heard no one escaped alive, his hand rising to his mouth. His brother was onboard.

“Oh God, we lost him,” the man whispered, before slowly walking away.

public comments about the mass killing.Assad did acknowledge the toll the cri-

sis has taken on the country, suggesting all the blood that has been spilled is necessary to root out the forces working to drive him from power.

“Today we are defending a cause and a country,” he said. “We do not do this because we like blood. A battle has been forced on us, and the result is this blood-shed that we are seeing.”

Members of the Syrian opposition brushed off his comments as meaningless.

“It is a desperate and silly speech that does not merit a response,” said Adib Shishakly, a Saudi-based member of Syria’s main opposition group, the Syrian Nation-al Council. “He didn’t offer anything to the Syrian people during the 70 minutes he spoke.”

Shishakly, the grandson of a former president of Syria, described Assad’s state-ments on the Houla massacre as “lies to justify the killings because of the immense international pressure on his regime.”

The U.S. has taken advantage of the global outrage over Houla to reach out to Syria’s most important ally and protec-tor, Russia, to join a coordinated effort to resolve the deadly conflict. Russia has pro-vided a layer of protection for Damascus, refusing to support any move that could lead to foreign intervention in Syria.

A Russian Foreign Ministry statement issued Sunday said Russia was awaiting the results of the investigation into the massa-cre at Houla and was “disturbed that some countries went ahead and cast blame.”

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday pressed Russia to join international efforts for a political transi-

tion in Syria that would see Assad driven from power, and suggested greater flexibil-ity could come from a previous recalcitrant Moscow.

America’s top diplomat told reporters in Sweden that she made clear in a telephone conversation this weekend with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that Mos-cow must do its part to help Syria turn the page after four decades under the Assad family control.

“My message to the foreign minister was very simple and straightforward,” Clinton said. “We all have to intensify our efforts to achieve a political transition and Russia has to be at the table helping that to occur.”

Although Assad’s words reflected many of the same general points of his previous speeches — blaming terrorists and extrem-ists, vowing to protect national security — his comments on Houla were widely anticipated.

“If we don’t feel the pain that squeezes our hearts, as I felt it, for the cruel scenes — especially the children — then we are not human beings,” Assad said.

Assad, 46, who inherited power from his father in 2000, is still firmly in control after more than a year of warfare that has torn at the country’s fabric and threatened to undermine stability in the Middle East.

A cease-fire plan brokered by inter-national envoy Kofi Annan is violated by both sides every day, but Western leaders continue to pin their hopes on diplomatic pressure, with the U.S. and others unwill-ing to get deeply involved in another Arab nation in turmoil — particularly one as unpredictable as Syria.

The rebel Free Syrian Army is deter-mined to bring down the regime by force of arms, targeting military checkpoints and other government sites. A U.N. observer team with nearly 300 members has done little to quell the bloodshed.

fill out surveys. With permission of each patient, the vital medical information could be shared with emergency care pro-viders and primary care physicians. With quick access to electronic records, physi-cians could theoretically provide quicker and more efficient care to patients, Joiner said.

Edmondson said 500 hospital employ-ees and their families have completed surveys on the website and JSU and city employees are expected to follow suit this summer.

“Jacksonville State University and its departments and colleges are uniquely positioned to respond to the efforts of Alabama Healthy Community,” said Amanda Bonds, JSU’s student health director. “While the individual personal health record is protected, AHC is able to study the trends in the broader popula-tion.”

After that, the nonprofit will visit local churches and other organizations and encourage their members to sign up.

BenefitsOnce a resident has filed a survey, the

website will provide preventative-care tips tailored specifically to each person. Examples include exercise and eating habit tips.

“This will be basic, real-life health care,” Joiner said. “This is not a promo-tional thing.”

The nonprofit will also act as a char-ity, raising money for member residents

who suffer from catastrophic illness and can’t pay their medical bills, Joiner said.

The website will also help residents contact area primary care physicians for needed checkups such as mammograms, thereby catching potential health prob-lems early.

“The idea is to get primary care phy-sicians and hospitals providing you with regular care,” Joiner said. “The benefit is the patient is taking advantage of what his or her insurance provides and they get healthier.”

Dr. James Yates, a primary care physi-cian in Jacksonville, said he’s supported the nonprofit’s efforts since they were begun several months ago. Yates said his office will soon acquire an electronic records system that would tie in with the website.

“Finally, the electronic records systems have evolved enough to be more user friendly and aren’t ridiculously expen-sive,” Yates said.

The money needed to set up electronic records for physicians who don’t already have them will come from federal stimu-lus money, Joiner said. Part of the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act, approved in 2009, included a provision offering up to $44,000 for physicians to help them transition to electronic records. The federal government has mandated that doctors and hospitals switch from paper to electronic records by 2015.

Franklin IPS will receive a percentage of the $44,000 for helping area physicians switch to electronic records, Joiner said. About half of Franklin IPS’s business is helping physicians switch to electronic

records.“We make sure they have the right

computers and that the data is secure and make sure they’ve put the right systems in place,” he said.

If necessary, the website would also help residents gain access to telemedi-cine technology, allowing them to benefit from specialized treatment from a physi-cian in another part of the state or even elsewhere in the country.

Drawing interestDale Quinney, executive director of the

Alabama Rural Health Association, said other efforts are already under way in the state to offer telemedicine in more rural areas.

“We’re going to try to get telemedicine up and going, bringing specialty care into rural Alabama where specialties might not be there or transport might be an issue,” Quinney said.

Quinney said he had never heard of a community health initiative like Jackson-ville’s before, but was interested in the idea.

“On the surface, it sounds good,” Quin-ney said.

Telemedicine and preventive care are needed in Alabama, which has a high rate of obesity, which can lead to other health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2010, 32 percent of Alabamians were con-sidered obese.

Dr. John Wheat, professor of commu-nity and rural medicine in the University of Alabama College of Community Health Sciences, had also never heard of an ini-tiative like Jacksonville’s before but was

interested to learn more.“It certainly is well-intended and may

be effective,” Wheat said. “We certainly are at a crossroads in dispersing health care in the country.”

To Wheat, using the more primary care physicians was the way to go in improv-ing the overall health of communities and making health care more efficient.

“What we know to be effective in rural Alabama is family physicians in the area lowers costs,” Wheat said. “A family medi-cine doctor is involved in the whole life of a family and community, is interested in preventative care and interested in care before the need of a specialist.”

Yates said patient care will improve through easier access to electronic records and keeping patients closer to home instead of sending them to a spe-cialist in another part of the state.

“When you send them off to a special-ist … you’re kind of in the dark about the patient … and when they come back you have no idea what medication they’re get-ting,” he said. “They kind of get disorga-nized care.”

If the Jacksonville program is success-ful, the plan is to expand it into the rest of Calhoun County and then the surround-ing counties of Cleburne, Etowah and Cherokee, Joiner said.

“It’s not that we’ll be perfect, but we’re trying to build a community health care system,” Joiner said.

Residents interested in signing up for the program and filling out a survey can visit the nonprofit’s website at www.ala-bamahealthycommunity.com.
