It would be at least the second time [Penelope Brianas] has pursued personal bankruptcy to escape her debts. According to bankruptcy court records, Brianas successfully had her debts forgiven six years ago, two years before she opened her upscale restaurant at 90 Low Ave. (It closed in April 2004). Bankruptcy laws allow someone to pursue personal bankruptcy protection every six years. Among those waiting on money from Brianas is her former landlord, Mark Ciborowski, whom she owes $67,000, and the state Department of Labor, which says Brianas owes $5,700 in back wages and $13,400 in penalties. Brianas also owes the Internal Revenue Service $75,000. The list of creditors also includes the Friends Program, a local nonprofit, a local gardening center and copying service, and the Concord Hospital. Joshua Menard, a bankruptcy lawyer for Preti Flaherty in Concord, said the difference between Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 protection would be important to Brianas's creditors. \"Under Chapter 13, you are paying a percentage of your debt over time,\" he said. \"It's still pennies on a dollar, but (the creditors) are still getting something. Chapter 7 is liquidation. If it's a business, it's out of business.\"

The blow knocked [Jamie Villafane], a husband and father of three, onto the end of the bridge they had just crossed. When his wits returned, he began searching frantically for his M-4 assault rifle. No sooner had he retrieved it that he saw a wire-guided missile passing within feet of his face and hitting a second Humvee. [Joshua Menard], 21, part of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., was shot in the left hand while he and several other Marines guarded a different bridge spanning the Euphrates River south of An Nasiriyah.
