A Twin Cities family's earnest efforts to save their house through a federal program has brought only frustration.
Jason and Jennifer Sonterre, with their kids, from left: Amelia, 6, John, 2, and Charlotte, 9, say they "did things right" by not overspending on their St. Francis house. But after Jason's pay took a big cut, the family applied for help as soon as the federal mortgage assistance program was introduced .
With their mortgage consuming about half of their monthly income and the bank threatening to foreclose, Jason and Jennifer Sonterre looked like perfect candidates for the federal government's Home Affordable Modification Program, which was supposed to help up to 4 million Americans hold onto their homes.
But like thousands of families who applied for the mortgage assistance, the Sonterres have spent the past 10 months filling out paperwork and waiting for a straight answer from their bank.
"The government was helping banks, so the banks were going to help us stay in our house," said Jennifer Sonterre, who owes about $148,000 on her Anoka County property to Chase Home Finance. "Naively, looking back, I believed that would happen."
In the face of widespread criticism, the U.S. Treasury Department is expected to announce changes aimed at speeding approvals for those seeking help from the program as soon as today. As of Dec. 31, just 66,465 home loans had been permanently modified through the $75 billion program announced by President Obama last March, the department reported.
"It's a mess, it's chaotic and it's irrational,'' said Mark Ireland, supervising attorney with the nonprofit Foreclosure Relief Law Project in St. Paul.
A spokesman for the Mortgage Bankers Association acknowledges that some lenders were "overwhelmed" by modification requests.
Chase spokeswoman Christine Holevas said the Sonterres don't qualify for a modification but may be able to get other assistance. She said Chase has prevented 885,000 foreclosures since 2007 by modifying loans. According to the Treasury Department, Chase ranked fourth among lenders for granting trial or permanent modifications to 36 percent of eligible delinquent loans.
"The volume of requests for mortgage help has been, and continues to be, tremendous,'' Holevas said. "We've spent a lot of effort implementing the [federal] program, updating our systems with the new federal guidelines, increasing our capacity through the hiring of more than 5,000 professionals, and becoming more efficient in managing the considerable paperwork associated with this effort."
Nationwide, temporary modifications for 850,000 borrowers reduced monthly mortgage payments by a median of $500, Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly said.
Jason and Jennifer Sonterre bought their house in St. Francis for $120,000 in 1999. As their family expanded with three children, they refinanced twice to renovate the house. They figure they have about $2,000 in equity.
"The thing that frustrates me the most is that we did things right," said Sonterre, 32, who stays at home to take care of the kids and her infirm father. "We didn't get in over our head with our house."
The family was clobbered by the economic collapse. Jason Sonterre, a manager for a group of car dealerships, saw his annual pay drop from $93,000 to $48,000. By late 2008, the family was in serious money trouble, missing mortgage payments in November, December and January.
A trail of paperwork
They applied for help as soon as the mortgage assistance program was introduced last March. They thought they would qualify, because the program was aimed at homeowners who could still afford a mortgage despite financial setbacks. At the time, their mortgage payments accounted for far more than 31 percent of their household income, the program's threshold.
Their first application to Chase got lost. After resubmitting their documents, the Sonterres were told to expect an answer in six to 10 weeks.
But bank officials never seemed able to finish the paperwork. The family had to keep sending in updated bank statements and pay stubs. At one point, Jason Sonterre was told the loan modification department was shutting down for six weeks to train staff.
John Mechem, a spokesman for the Mortgage Bankers Association, said lenders didn't know how to train staff until the program's regulations were completed in late June or early July. He acknowledged that there were problems "tracking, keeping, finding documents."
While he waited for an answer from Chase, Jason Sonterre persuaded his employer to bump his pay up to about $63,000. That enabled the family to make the full payments once again, but it also tipped their monthly income over the program's limit by $175. When they finally heard from the bank in November, they were told that their mortgage was now eating up 30 percent of their income, just shy of the 31 percent requirement.
But the Sonterres were still three months behind on their mortgage, which meant late fees of $53 a month and regular foreclosure notices.
Jennifer Sonterre decided not to take "no" for an answer. Over two days in November, she talked to 10 Chase representatives. One told her she qualified for a trial modification, then later said she didn't. Another representative suggested she quickly sell the house and use the proceeds to pay their mortgage, Sonterre said. She wrote letters to government agencies, to senators, the governor, the president.
"I want to stay in my home. That's all I want," she said. "This is where I have all of my memories. I don't want to lose it."
Later in November, Chase offered the Sonterres a plan to raise their monthly payments by $300 to make up for three payments they missed, but the Sonterres can't afford it.
The bank also continues to send mixed messages. In some letters, Chase threatens to foreclose and in other letters the bank invites the family to seek mortgage relief, saying "we believe your home loan may be eligible for a loan modification program."
After Whistleblower inquired about the Sonterres, a Chase representative called Jennifer Sonterre and told her the lender is trying to help.
"We don't want to own anyone's home," Holevas said. "We try to do what we can to resolve the issue and help people stay in their homes, whenever possible."

RALEIGH, North Carolina — North Carolina's jobless rate fell slightly in February, registering at 5.3 percent for the month, the state Commerce Department reported Friday.
The jobless rate was unchanged from January's revised rate but below the national unemployment rate of 5.5 percent in February. North Carolina's jobless rate has gradually dropped over the past year from 6.5 percent in February 2014.
More than 30,500 additional people landed jobs in February, raising the number of workers to more than 4.4 million.
About the same number of people entered North Carolina's growing labor force, meaning they were looking for jobs or working. The growing labor force helps to explain why the unemployment rate didn't change in February despite more people landing jobs.
"Up until about six months ago, the major portion of the improvement in the unemployment rate was people leaving the labor force," said William "Woody" Hall, an economist at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
For more than six years after the outbreak of the Great Recession, North Carolina had a consistently higher unemployment rate than the national average until the middle of last year. Since then, the state's jobless rate has been lower than the national average.
Hill believes the state's improving jobs picture owes much to this dynamic: Industries tied to expanding population growth like real estate, construction, mortgage lending and other financial services, and business services like architects have been bouncing back after taking a nosedive during the recession. Construction and business services have been two of the state's fastest-growing employment sectors in the past year.
"Those sectors have apparently bottomed out. We've not seen the kind of growth that we saw prior to 2008, but we are seeing some growth in those sectors," Hill said. "The point being is that people who weren't looking for work are now looking for work and finding work. It's a relatively recent phenomenon."
Average manufacturing hours worked per week and hourly earnings for production workers have also increased in the past year, pointing to a rebound in that crucial and high-paying field, state data show.

How Summer Boredom Will Lead To The Cat Uprising
Slowly going crazy? 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… UNLEASH HELL, Mr. Pickles!
1. We thought summer would be fun in the sun, but then it rained and rained.
Time to have a slumber party to stave off insanity.
2. All I need are snacks to lure friends over.
And some kind of entertainment…
3. Like Magic: The Gathering. Even if Mr. Pickles insists on wearing his "lucky" cone.
Sure we laugh… but we can't beat his damn Fire/Swamp deck.
4. Or video games.
Bonus: The soothing light of Halo doesn't emit harmful UV rays.
6. Let's just play Minecraft and chillax.
We can totally work on our Nyan Cat shrine and OH MY GOD stop using dynamite or I will end you.
7. You know what, I'm just going to play Fruit Ninja.
By myself.
8. Maybe watch a movie marathon.
All three extended editions of Lord of the Rings sounds delightful…wait, what is that sound?
10. Are you ready to stop being a dick? LEGO TIME!
Awwww yisss, we're gonna build stuff and maybe break a world record and…
I hope you step on a LEGO in the dark tonight.
12. Still raining? Settlers of Catan should pass the time.
Sweet raptors of mercy, if you won't trade resources why are we even playing!?
13. Don't even ask me about Risk if you value our friendship.
Which I am beginning to doubt the validity of, Mr. Pickles.
14. Dungeons and Dragons is a fun cooperative game.
Everyone roll a character and make an elaborate backstory. Pickles offered to DM!
16. You know what? I'm just gonna re-read Game of Thrones
You guys do whatever you want.
The statement "Whatever you want," connotates "within reason." Building a box army to overthrow the humans is…THE BEST IDEA YOU'VE EVER HAD.
19. And that, my kittens, is the true story of how our benevolent overlord rose to power.
All hail Mr. Pickles!

Jair Jurrjens would still be in the minors right now if it wasn't for Brandon Beachy's Tommy John surgery, but he made the most out of his opportunity last night.
Jurrjens shined in his return to the majors by limiting the Red Sox to one run over 7 2/3 innings as part of a 4-1 victory. He walked one and struck out four and carried a one-hit shutout through the first seven innings. The only run scored on a double by Daniel Nava in the bottom of the eighth inning which chased him from the game.
Jurrjens made the National League All-Star team last year, but he was limited to just seven starts during the second half due to continued issues with his right knee. His struggles continued in the early part of this season, as he was demoted to the minors in late April after being hammered to the tune of a 9.37 ERA over his first four starts. His results weren't much better during his time with Triple-A Gwinnett, as he had a 5.10 ERA over 10 starts.
While Jurrjens appears healthy at the moment, his velocity has been missing in action for quite some time now. Even though he was effective last night, he averaged just 89 mph on his fastball and relied heavily on his changeup. He averaged between 91-92 mph on his heater from 2007-2010. Last night was obviously an encouraging step in the right direction and a few more outings like it could lessen the sense of urgency for a trade, but he still has a lot to prove.
- APBA Guy - Jun 23, 2012 at 1:55 PM
His control was excellent as he worked the fastball away and the change-up had a sharp, late downward break. If he maintains that level of command he can win in the National League. When he missed, he missed out of the zone.
But he still isn't right, whether it's physical and his knee is still bothering him, or it's mental and he doesn't trust his knee, either way, he looked like he was holding back.
- mississippimusicman - Jun 23, 2012 at 2:07 PM
He seemed to be trusting his knee more last night. Early in the season he seemed to be favoring it a bit, stepping off more toward first base and messing with his control. I think he may just have the control now to succeed even without the extra couple of miles per hour.

Would you consider cutting into one and letting us see what's inside? In the case of 12ga they can't even make the polymer tip green cuz there ain't a polymer tip. What could possibly be different?
I'm curious to know myself what is in them. I don't own a 12ga so I never bought them. I do have them in .45acp and know they are just Critical defense with a different color tip. Also have them in 7.62x39 but I don't know what they compare to in the hornady lineup. I may just buy a box of the 12ga for cool factor.
Si vis pacem, Para Bellum. "If you want peace, Prepare for war"
I was wondering too what the differance is with the 12ga. Im just gonna buy a box or two just to see. I will post pictures when i get pick them up and cut into them, if no one else post pictures before me.
I really don't think they have anything special I them... Just 00buck pellets... The muzzle velocity is 1600FPS which is the same as Hornadys 2 3/4 critical defense 00buck... Pretty sure it is the same exact shell but just has the box and paint on the shell. Link to the critical defense round.http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/60311695-1.html I don't really want to cut it open for the sake of me wanting to collect a box each type of bullet offered in the zombie max collection... Sorry fellas im cheap hah.
Makes me wonder what even CD would mean for 00-buck shells. To my mind 9 lead balls is 9 lead balls, regardless of their packaging.
Usually a higher muzzle velocity which means a hotter load... Correct me if I'm wrong. 9 pellets that are traveling at ~300FPS more than an average 00buck it's going to do a little more damage.
The powder and the wad are what makes it different than standard OO. And it is exactly the same as the cd.

Asia-Pacific is already a digital ad giant, with expenditures in the region having reached $27.3 billion last year, according to eMarketer's forecast for digital ad spending. The region is expected to become the second-largest digital ad market in the world by the end of this year, surpassing Western Europe by nearly $2 billion.
The major emerging markets of Indonesia, China and India will increase faster than Asia-Pacific's overall regional growth through 2016, while mature markets in Australia, Japan and South Korea will continue to increase at a steady but unspectacular clip.
India and China will see growth of around 30% each this year, and maintain a pace of increase of about 20% or higher throughout the forecast period. The amount marketers will devote towards digital ad spending in Indonesia is forecast to see especially high growth, though this will be primarily due to the fact that the country recorded only $140 million in digital advertising last year.
Having achieved a peak 25% increase last year, Asia-Pacific will experience considerable growth throughout the forecast period, eMarketer estimates, spurred largely by digital ad spend growth in these emerging markets.
By 2014, marketers in China will invest more in digital advertising than their counterparts in Japan and the UK, as China pushes ahead to the No. 2 spot in worldwide digital ad expenditures. Despite their high growth rates, India and Indonesia will continue to account for the smallest share of digital ad dollars in the region.
China's share of digital ad spending in Asia-Pacific is expected to rise to 36.1% in 2016 from 27% in 2012, while Japan's share will drop from 35.1% to 25.8%. The two countries will account for the lion's share of digital ad spending in the region through 2016, according to eMarketer's forecast.

Alright, I'll ask some starter info first. can you get the base flat like it was originally, and line up the edge with its original location? If you can move it, see if you can find a way to get some epoxy in between the p-tex base/edge and the core. If that's possible, get two wood boards, wrap them in wax paper and clamp them down on the topsheet and base, to hold it in place while the epoxy sets. Definitely make sure you can get this to work before you apply epoxy, but with clamps and some way to make sure the edge goes back to its original shape, it should be doable.
EDIT: Use some good epoxy, go to a hobby store and get their 5-10 minute 2-part epoxy, it's the good stuff. EDIT EDIT: Make sure you clean the area as much as possible. |

im sure i can get it lined back up, but im not sure as to how i would. theres no way of geting any grip on the edge to undent it(that i can think of at least. if i could get that undented then i could flaten the base for sure. any suggestions on how to undent it? should i just try clamping it and see if that straightens it out?

First worry about the board itself, then worry about the edging.
For edging you just need a basic tuning kit. Run over it with a gummy stone and then maybe a few passes with a regular 90 degree edge sharpener/file. That's the easy part. Clamping the bubble out and getting epoxy in the area is going to be the bigger issue. Good luck.

I had similar damage about a month ago. First, I cleaned the gash with acetone to clean it, then applied epoxy and used vice grips (not fully tight) with the lower jaw braced against the topsheet (pad it if you want to avoid scratching your topsheet) and used the notches on the upper jaw to pressure the edge back into postion. It has held just fine so far for my riding since. Here is the before and after pic:
Good luck, hope this helps. |

kay so, i just got handy with my big vice in the garage. put two blocks of wood wrapped in rags in the vice and the bubbled area between and squeezed while shimmying the board out of the blocks of wood trying to pull the edge back out.
the bubble lessened by alot but the edge isnt budging to much. its better now its close to were it should be, the bubble can barely be seen. think i should try to get it perfect of just quite while im ahead and epoxy it? |

Try to get it perfect, but I'll suggest using wax paper as the final layer between the board and the clamps, as epoxy won't stick to wax, so any excess will just stay on the sidewall where you can scrape it off easily.

Registered User Join Date: Jan 2014 Posts: 5 | new to the game, need mod suggestions Hi there. I got this game (on the PC). I played it on the Xbox 360 years ago, and TBH, I enjoyed the story much more than GTA V. Thing is, I'm about to get a new CPU and would like to test out some mods. I'll probably test out graphic mods and such, but gameplay is what I care about. And if there's ONE thing that always bothered me in GTA games (way back since III, Vice and San Andreas) is how the game always spawns cars that are of the same category of the one you're currently driving (not to mention when it spawns a dozen of the EXACT same car). I guess it happens a lot (at least on the Xbox 360, it did) in San Quentin Avenue. Is there a mod that prevents such thing from happening? I tried searching for a random car spawning mod, with no success Any help (and other suggestions) would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Registered User Addicted Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Netherlands Posts: 1,596 | Your best bet to keep the traffic diverse is to not install any car mods, those will drastically worsen the situation other than that I'd recommend the 'realistic driving and flying' mod : http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/realis...lying-27-f9020 Not only does it improve the (horrible) handling of gta 4, it also improves on the cars that spawn. Busses will appear in traffic for example, you normally wouldn't see those driving |

Registered User Join Date: Jan 2014 Posts: 5 | Thanks for the tip Killerfist... saw the video on it, seems pretty cool. Will definetly check it out. Yeah, it amazes me how the spawning is still like that (repetitive cars) even on GTA V. If you got any other suggestions, feel free to shoot. Mostly anything that gives better textures, but doesn't add anything extra to the "vanilla" version of the game (like, no extra cars, weapons, and such). |

Registered User Addicted Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Netherlands Posts: 1,596 | If your pc can handle it I'd definitely recommend installing an icenhancer (if you go the gta4-mods.com and sort the misc section on most downloaded you'll see a couple of good ones). If you don't want to get custom weapons I'd atleast download some gun sounds, the basic gta 4 ones aren't too great in my opinion but that's up to you ofcourse. |

Registered User Join Date: Jan 2014 Posts: 5 | Got 'em all dude, thanks a bunch! Two last things, I promise... Is there a mod to make Niko's (and consequently, Johnny and Lucas) moves more "fluid"? Like in Red Dead Redemption or GTA V? I always felt that you could move the characters more easily in the latter 2 games, like running and getting to cover is easier than in GTA IV, maybe because it is an earlier version of the RAGE engine (in GTA IV), not sure though. Second, how did IGN got this screenshot? I don't think it's a mod, since it's in the 360 media section... I thought you could only "require hooker services" in a car, and all the girlfriends you meet in the game get an outside animation, much like San Andreas without hot coffee. |

Registered User Addicted Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Netherlands Posts: 1,596 | As far as I know there isn't any way to make the walking and running more fluidly, all you can do is change the walking style to that of a certain pedestrian using the simple native trainer. Not sure about the image, but it looks like she's dead (not sleeping) so someone either used a trainer to spawn here there and then killed her or just got her upstairs somehow. But that's just my guess, mods do exist on xbox.. it just requires steps that aren't legal or will mess up your warantee. The image could just as well be from pc, they're not always as accurate about placing images on the right section. No worries though, if you need to know something else just ask away |

Online Farmers Market, Colle Farmers Market, Praises World Food Day and Agrees Sustainable Food Systems Will End Hunger
Following an article published by UN News Centre, Colle Farmers Market, an online farmers market, details how sustainable agriculture and better food systems could help prevent hunger and reduce malnutrition.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) October 21, 2013
Colle Farmers Market, an online farmers market, responds to an article published by the UN News Centre on October 16th, which discusses how sustainable agriculture is the key to end hunger and preserve the environment.
According to the UN News Centre article titled "Sustainable food systems vital to end hunger, malnutrition, UN says on World Food Day", United Nations officials are stressing the importance of ending world hunger and protecting the environment by investing in more sustainable agriculture systems. In honor of World Food Day, the United Nation's promoted the need for more sustainable ways of producing food with a nutritional focus. The article says the future of the world's food problem revolves around ways of producing natural, healthy food and making it available to everyone.
"The key to better nutrition, and ultimately to ensuring each person's right to food, lies in better food systems – smarter approaches, policies and investments encompassing the environment, people, institutions and processes by which agricultural products are produced, processed and brought to consumers in a sustainable manner," says UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
A representative from Colle Farmers Market, an online farmers market, agrees, stating that sustainable organic farming can help provide better food and reverse signs of climate change. "Organic agriculture is one way farmers can produce healthy, natural food without harmful pesticides," the Colle rep says. "Pesticides have a lot to do with changes in the soil and they can be linked to climate change. The chemicals used in pesticides emit gases into the air and into the Earth causing disturbances in the climate. The climate change has shown us very bizarre and damaging weather these past few years. When weather is particularly bad, it destroys crops, therefore contributing to the hunger problem."
Colle Farmers Market is an E-Commerce enabled community that is passionate about sustainable consumption and responsible conservation. The Colle movement is dedicated to connecting natural product vendors, organic farmers and all people who are living an organic and natural lifestyle.

Giller Prize–winner M. G. Vassanji gives us a powerfully emotional novel of love and loss, of an African/Indian man who returns to the town of his birth in search of the girl he once loved—and the sense of self that has always eluded him.
Kamal Punja is a physician who has lived in Canada for the past forty years, but whom we first meet in a Tanzanian hospital. He is delirious and says he has been poisoned with hallucinogens. But when Kamal finds a curious and sympathetic ear in a local publisher, his ravings begin to reveal a tale of extraordinary pathos, complexity, and mystery.
Raised by his African mother, deserted when he was four by his Indian father, married to a woman of Indian heritage, and the father of two wholly Westernized children, Kamal had reached a stage of both undreamed-of material success and disintegrating personal ties. Then, suddenly, he "stepped off the treadmill, allowed an old regret to awaken," and set off to find the girl he had known as a child, to finally keep his promise to her that he would return.
The girl was Saida, granddaughter of a great, beloved Swahili poet. Kamal and Saida were constant companions—he teaching her English and arithmetic, she teaching him Arabic script and Swahili poetry—and in his child's mind, she was his future wife. Until, when he was eleven, his mother sent him to the capital, Dar es Salaam, to live with his father's relatives, to "become an Indian" and thus secure his future. Now Kamal is journeying back to the village he left, into the maze of his long-unresolved mixed-race identity and the nightmarish legacy of his broken promise to Saida.
At once dramatic, searching, and intelligent, The Magic of Saida moves deftly between the past and present, painting both an intimate picture of passion and betrayal and a broad canvas of political promise and failure in contemporary Africa. It is a timeless story—and a story very much of our own time.

I am fairly new to TeX, so I may be missing something simple, but I can't seem to adjust the height of the turnstile objects produced by the turnstile
package. In particular, if the symbol appears as a subscript it does not adjust to match the surrounding text. Does anyone know of a solution?
The problem with the vertical scaling is documented in the Conclusions section of the file turnstile_article.pdf: In particular, since no provision is made for vertical scaling, the symbol will not scale appropriately when used in a subscripted expression (See first part of the example below). The first idea that comes to my mind is to use
Here's a different version that scales (but via an optional argument):
The optional argument chooses the style for the objects: 0 is for display, 1 for text, 2 for script and 3 for scriptscript. The default is 2. An empty pair of arguments builds symbols very akin to |

An "honest" dog That confirms that Bella is definitely not "soft." Although it would be nice if the corrections were more effective at times, her easy going temperament has probably bailed me out a few times. I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and will probably continue to do so. Sent from Petguide.com Free App

I think terms like "hard" or "soft" are sorta limiting. Barb I've never equated "hard" or "soft" solely in terms of physical corrections, but that's an interesting take on it. Slater has really taught me a lot about this... He is can take more pressure from the collar than a lot of dogs, and rarely makes a physical or verbal reaction to the collar. However, he is very sensitive when it comes to verbal or physical corrections from the handler. He will flinch or grovel if corrected by the handler rather than by the collar. There have been times when he's ducked away from me if I've made some odd movement, and he has NEVER been hit as a form of punishment. (**Sidebar :: this is the beauty of training with a modern ecollar program....the dog never thinks you are the bad guy. For Slater this is absolutely essential.) Either way he will rebound and work through the problem immediately afterward; he doesn't sulk or pout. What I've realized is that he is not so much "sensitive" -- he is DEMONSTRATIVE. He wears his emotions on his sleeve. Easy to read! Is this hard or soft? He may display the signs of a soft dog, yet he can take a correction and keep on going. Fisher is not like this, he never looks too sorry after getting a correction, but yet it doesn't take much to change his behavior with a correction. This has been an interesting discussion!

Another time in Utility A, our judge was Tibbie Chase who frequently wore skirts... Sent her to the articles, she ran to check out the skirt, then went back to the articles. She was a funny dog.

In obedience I'm told she is honest. I believe it's because once I define the rules to the game and she understands them, she will try her best to play by those rules. Unforchantly for Winter, I'm not very good at defining the rules for her. My footwork is a mess, I sometimes leave a shoulder back on turns...... a whole basketful of inconsistencies. When I have my act together I'm told we are quite good, but it is a flickering light. Last edited by hollyk; 02-13-2013 at 12:12 AM. |

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 12, 2007 Contact: DEA Public Affairs Number: 303-705-7446
DEA Denver Hosts First Annual DEA Citizens Academy Community Leaders Become Familiar with DEA's Mission
JUN 12 -- (DENVER) – The Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Rocky Mountain Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Jeffrey D. Sweetin, announced today details of the 1st Annual Citizen's Academy. Business, corporate, and community leaders in the Denver metro area were invited to attend the academy for the purpose of gaining personal knowledge of the intricacies within a federal law enforcement agency. "To successfully accomplish our mission, it is vital that we receive the support of our customer, the American taxpayer," said SAC Sweetin. "One such avenue to increase the public awareness of the DEA is the creation of this Citizen's Academy."
The Citizen's Academy, which is being held at various area locations, including DEA's offices in Englewood, is a very energetic "hands on" approach and requires participation from the students both inside and outside the classroom. Classes, which are held one night per week for seven weeks, include limited classroom lecture and various activities outside the classroom, including training and presentations related to firearms, surveillance, and role playing.
The following sessions have been held and future sessions will be described and published as they occur.
The first class included an orientation of DEA's mission and an overview of the methamphetamine problem facing the U.S.
During the second class, students participated in a lab setting with DEA Chemists, who demonstrated one of the methods used in manufacturing methamphetamine.
The third night of the third class included hands on weapons familiarization at the Highlands Ranch Shooting Range, where students had the opportunity to shoot weapons issued to DEA Agents.
The Citizens's Academy will conclude with a graduation banquet to be held on July 10, 2007.
Last evening at the Law Enforcement Range was a major life event and a unique experience I will never forget!
Every member of your team is simply 1st CLASS. When we arrived, I know several of us were quite intimidated (out of our normal element); however every instructor was just outstanding and made us all feel part of the team. The entire event was thoroughly organized, extremely safe, and quite exhilarating. Very Impressive!
In addition to each member's incredible training and personal skill sets, I was most impressed with the camaraderie and respect they have for you and each other! To me, that speaks volumes about excellent leadership and teamwork. It was quite apparent why they are so elite at what they do. I hope you will please pass on my warmest gratitude and respect to all the guys involved last evening. They were so awesome!
Jeff, thanks once again for giving us another rare glimpse into the wonderful world of DEA. The concept of this Citizen's Academy has given me a much greater appreciation for the DEA and Law Enforcement in general. I feel very privileged to be a part of this.
PS: After all the terrific instruction, I just know I would do much better at the range NEXT TIME! (hint-hint).
My 16-year-old son is so jealous. Have you considered a 1-day program (career day) for a few High School students? I am confident that parents would be willing to pick up any related costs.
Email received from one of the students.

Breach of promise or heart balm is a common law tort, abolished in many jurisdictions. It was also called breach of contract to marry.[1]
From at least medieval times until the early 20th century, a man's promise of engagement to marry a woman was considered, in many jurisdictions, a legally binding contract. If the man were to subsequently change his mind, he would be said to be in "breach" of this promise and subject to litigation for damages.
The converse of this was seldom true; the concept that "it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind" had at least some basis in law (though a woman might pay a high social price for exercising this privilege, as explained below)—and unless an actual dowry of money or property had changed hands, a man was only rarely able to recover in a "breach of promise" suit against a woman, were he even allowed to file one.
Changing social morals have led to the decline of this sort of action. Most jurisdictions, at least in the English-speaking, common law world, have become increasingly reluctant to intervene in cases of personal relationships not involving the welfare of children or actual violence. Many have repealed all laws regarding such eventualities;[1] whereas in others the statute allowing such an action may technically remain on the books but the action has become very rare and unlikely to be pursued with any probability of success.
Cause of action[edit]
A breach of promise suit required a legally valid marriage engagement.[2] Generally, promises made by—but not to—people who had not reached the age of majority could be broken at any time, without penalty, as could the promise made by a married person (e.g., conditional upon the death of the current spouse), so long as the other party knew that the person was married at the time. Similarly, an engagement between people who were not legally permitted to marry (e.g., because of consanguinity laws) was invalid.[2]
Valid engagements could be broken without penalty by either party upon discovery of significant and material facts, such as previously unknown financial state, bad character, fraud, too-close blood relations, or the absolute physical or mental incapacity of the betrothed.[2] In South Africa, engagements could be dissolved by mutual agreement. Impotence, sterility, criminality, and alcoholism also formed valid reasons to end an engagement. Additionally, the person refusing to marry was unable to sue for breach of promise.
Some of the original theory behind this tort was based on the idea that a woman would be more likely to give up her virginity to a man if she had his promise to marry her. If he seduced her and subsequently refused marriage, her lack of virginity would make her future search for a suitable husband more difficult or even impossible.[3]
However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the main factors were compensation for the denial of the woman's expectations of becoming "established" in a household (supported by her husband's wealth) and possible damage to her social reputation, since there were a number of ways that the reputation of a young never-married woman of the genteel classes could be damaged by a broken engagement, or an apparent period of intimacy which did not end in a publicly announced engagement, even if few people seriously thought that she had lost her virginity. She might be viewed as having broken the code of maidenly modesty of the period by imprudently offering up her affections without having had a firm assurance of future marriage.
During the early 20th century, social standards changed so that a woman who had pre-marital sex was no longer considered to be "ruined" (a harbinger of the further societal changes which were to eventually undermine breach of promise).[not in citation given] During that time, half of American women lost their virginity during their marriage engagements.[3] Compensation was based on emotional distress and the woman's reduced opportunity for a future marriage. Damages were greatly increased if the couple had engaged in pre-marital sexual intercourse.[3]
In 1915, Louis A. Merrilat, an American football end and military officer active in the early 20th century, was sued by Helen Van Ness for breach of promise after breaking off an engagement.[4][5] Merrilat hired the noted Chicago attorney Clarence Darrow to defend him against the charges.[6]
Laws in different countries[edit]
In Scots law before 1812, damages were limited only to actual financial losses.[2]
In the United States, most states have repealed breach of promise laws or limited them, beginning in 1935.[3] As a result, expensive diamond engagement rings, previously uncommon, began to become commonplace, and formed a sort of financial security for the woman.[3] South Carolina is one of the states that still recognizes a breach of promise action: Campbell v Robinson, 398 S.C. 12, 726 S.E. 2d 221 (Ct. App. 2012).
England and Wales undertook legal reforms in 1970 that generally made property disputes related to engagements to be handled like property disputes between married couples.[2]
France nominally did not permit breach of promise actions, holding that marriage cannot be freely entered into if the engagement is legally binding. However, any party may sue for losses as a result of improper behavior by an engaged person.[2]
After World War II, German, Spanish, and Italian law allowed for the recovery of actual damages incurred as a result of a failed engagement.[2]
Whilst in Hong Kong, similar to the situation in England, engagements to marry are not enforceable at law by legislation, damages for distress caused and reliance on the breach of promise are claimable, if the plaintiff suffers sufficiently serious consequences in light of the specific circumstances, for instance in Cheung Suk Man v So Shek Keung [1965] HKLR 485.
In the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, a breach of promise action was formally abolished in 2010.[7]
Determining damages[edit]
Damages were generally permitted for expenses incurred on the expectation of a marriage, such as property transferred or wedding expenses.[2] In some jurisdictions, emotional distress, loss of social standing, and loss of virginity were also possible sources of damages.[2]
Some countries also allowed the woman to sue for loss of future income, that is, for money that she would have had, if her very wealthy fiancé had not broken off the engagement. In 20th-century reforms, this was generally abolished over fears of gold-digging.[2]
One challenge in settling disputes for breach of promise was determining whether a gift made during the engagement was an absolute gift—one given permanently, with no strings attached—or a conditional gift, given in the expectation of the marriage taking place. If an engagement gift was given on a holiday, such as Valentine's Day or Christmas, the gift could be considered to be non-contingent, and given partially for reasons other than marriage, and thus does not have to be returned. Christmas presents are generally taken to be absolute gifts, and thus cannot be recovered if the engagement dissolves, but engagement rings are generally taken to be conditional gifts, at least under most circumstances, which means that they must be returned if the recipient no longer chooses to go through with the marriage.[2] Whether an engagement ring must be returned if the giver breaks off the engagement varies.[2]
Similar actions in law[edit]
Criminal conversation or "seduction" was a similar tort, arising from adultery, in which a married person would sue the person with whom his or her spouse had cheated on the marriage.[1] Alienation of affections was another similar tort against a third party who encouraged the adultery, or who was otherwise responsible for the breakdown of the marriage.[1]
In popular culture[edit]
The social damage from receiving attention from a man is discussed in a passage from the 1801 novel Belinda by Maria Edgeworth, where an older woman is urging Miss Belinda Portman to give a suitor more time to attach her affections, though Belinda is worried that even by just passively accepting his attentions for a certain time, she might find herself "entangled, so as not to be able to retract", even "if it should not be in my power to love him at last":
- "…after a certain time—after the world suspects that two people are engaged to each other, it is scarcely possible for the woman to recede: when they come within a certain distance, they are pressed to unite, by the irresistible force of external circumstances. A woman is too often reduced to this dilemma: either she must marry a man she does not love, or she must be blamed by the world—either she must sacrifice a portion of her reputation, or the whole of her happiness.… A young woman is not in this respect allowed sufficient time for freedom of deliberation."
Breach-of-promise actions were part of the standard stock-in-trade of comic writers of the 19th century (such as Charles Dickens in his Pickwick Papers, or Gilbert and Sullivan in Trial by Jury), but most middle- and upper-class families were reluctant to use them except in rather extreme circumstances (such as when a daughter became pregnant by a man who then refused to marry her), since they led to wide publicity being given to a scrutiny of intimate personal concerns, something which was strongly repugnant to the family feeling of the period (especially where young women were concerned).
Trial by Jury is an 1875 curtain-raiser and comic opera that enacts a satirical trial for breach of promise. The successful musical is credited with launching the careers of librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan.
The Scales of Justice - A Woman's Privilege recounts the unusual case of a man who sues a woman for breach of promise following a cruise ship romance engagement.
In the mockumentary film A Hard Day's Night, the character playing Paul McCartney's grandfather is pursued by young women who wish to sue the older man for breach of promise.
In season 8 of the TV show Frasier, Donny files a suit against Daphne for breaking off their marriage[clarification needed] on the day of their wedding.

Controversial cartoonist co-authors book with ten year-old son
Filed under: Just For Dads, Activities: Babies
Sean Delonas is famous for his controversial political cartoons. His work on the New York Post's Page Six, has included a cartoon making light of the New Jersey court ruling allowing same sex marriage -- depicting a man applying for a license with a sheep, and a post 9-11 cartoon in which a firefighter asks his dying colleague if the colleague's wife is "free next week."
"I get death threats and everything," says Delonas in this Morris County Daily Record article.
His latest work, however, isn't nearly so politically charged. "Scuttles Big Wish," a story intended for 4 to 8 year-olds inspired by "King Midas," follows a mouse who wishes everything he touched would turn to cheese. The book's co-author is Delonas' 10 year-old son, Ryan.
Ryan flushed out his ideas in conversation with his dad, who then strung the thoughts together, and added illustrations.
In the book, Scuttles apparently succeeds in turning everything to cheese, but in the end, he's relieved when things get back to normal, discovering "how beautiful the world was, even if it's not made of cheese."
I'm actually not familiar with Delonas' work as a cartoonist, but he certainly has found a great way to be creative with his son.

Full Course - The estimated number of steps for the full course (levels 1 & 4) is approximately 7,343 steps and will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 2+ hours to complete depending on your fitness level.
Half Course - The estimated number of steps for the half course (level 1 only) is approximately 1,890 steps and will take around 20 minutes to complete. This course utilises the longer, shallower stairs of the lower level and is considerably easier than the full course.
What to watch out for:
It's a concrete jungle out there! The MCG course is full of twists and turns. Stairs will vary in height, width, gradient and the number of stairs per aisle depending on where you are climbing in the MCG.
The steepest part of the climb will be in and around the Olympic and Ponsford Stands on Level 4. Level 1 will be the easiest part of the course with a milder gradient and wide, shallow steps.
Stair Logistics:
• Level 1 - 57 bays, 35 steps per bay
• Level 4 - 57 bays 83 - 108 steps per bay
• Level 4, particularly the Ponsford to Olympic Stands are extremely challenging
Course Instructions (or just let our marshals tell you where to go):
• Participants marshal within the concourse area of Gate 1
• Participants are staggered released according to wave times allocated
• Run around concourse clockwise from bay M37 to M57
• Commence stair descent at M57 and climb anticlockwise to M3 approx.
• Take ramp from L1 to L4 Great Southern Stand
