This is the key issue: Absent an express agreement of the parties, the dependency exemptions and the accompanying earned income credit and child care credit for minor children of divorced and separated families, belong to the custodial parent, not the non-custodial parent.
Prior to January 1, 1985, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), as regards a divorced and/or separated parent who provided more than one-half of the child's total support during the year, the "custodial parent" had the right to claim the dependent child tax exemption. At that time, there were two exceptions under the tax code at that time that, if applicable, would permit the noncustodial parent to claim the exemption. Specifically, 26 USC § 152(e)(2) allowed the noncustodial parent to claim the exemption if:
- "a written agreement between the parents * * * provides that the parent not having custody shall be entitled to any deduction allowable under section 151 for such child," OR
- "the decree of divorce or of separate maintenance * * * provides that the parent not having custody shall be entitled to any deduction allowable under section 151 for such child."
Major revisions and amendments to the federal income tax code were enacted by Congress in the 1984 Tax Reform Act, (the "Deficit Reduction Act of 1984") (Pub L 98-369, 98 Stat 494). Relevant to this discussion, there was a significant change in the wording of 26 USC § 152(e)(2), applicable for tax years commencing after December 31, 1984. As revised, the text of 26 USC § 152(e) deleted and repealed the prior language that had expressly allowed a noncustodial parent to claim the dependency exemption "if the decree of divorce or of separate maintenance * * * [so] provides."
As a result of the 1984 tax code revision, the previously-existing exception that effectively allowed a state court judge through a divorce decree to award to a noncustodial parent the right to claim the dependent child tax exemption --- despite objection by the custodial parent and without the custodial parent's voluntary consent --- was simply written-out of the federal income tax code for tax years commencing after 1984. Consequently, since 1985, there is only one statutory exception to the custodial parent's right to claim the exemption, that exception being the custodial parent's voluntary written agreement to not claim the exemption and to release it to the noncustodial parent. [Emphasis added.]
Michigan's case law on the issue, reviewed below, shows that if the parties treat the exemption as part of their property settlement agreement, then it is non-modifiable, absent any of the few exceptions to modification. It the parties treat the exemption as part of the child support, however, upon proof of changed circumstances, the right to use the exemption will be modifiable. Parents from states other than Michigan may use the discussion below as a guideline to allocation of the dependency tax exemptions.
To be entitled to the exemption, a taxpayer must be the custodial parent or the custodial parent must purposefully, intentionally, and in writing, waive the right to the exemption in favor of the non-custodial parent. The exemption applies to a "qualifying child" of the taxpayer.
In summary terms, the rules for divorced parents are as follows: A child is treated as a "qualifying child" of a taxpayer, allowing that taxpayer to claim the exemption for the child, only if all four of the following statements are true:
- The parents are divorced or separated;
- The child received over half of his or her support for the year from the parents;
- The child is in the custody of one or both parents for more than one half of the year. [If this threshold is met, the divorced parent with whom the child spends more than one half of the nights in the year is entitled to claim the exemption].
- The custodial parent signs a written declaration [IRS Form 8332] stating that he or she will not claim the child as a dependent for the year. This IRS regulation means that the custodial parent must actually agree (be contractually bound) to concede the exemption to the non-custodial parent. Download IRS Form 8332
See IRS Publication 504, at page 9 for the definition of "qualifying child." Download IRS Pub 504 Note: This is the 2011 publication; at this writing, the 2012 publication has not yet been released. To find more current publications, go to http://www.irs.gov/ and search the publication list.
IRS Publication 504 defines "custodial parent" and "noncustodial parent" as follows: "The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights during the year. The other parent is the noncustodial parent."
If the parents divorced or separated during the year and the child lived with both parents before the separation, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights during the rest of the year. A child is treated as living with a parent for a night if the child sleeps:
• At that parent's home, whether or not the parent is present, or
• In the company of the parent, when the child does not sleep at a parent's home (for example, the parent and child are on vacation together. See IRS Publication 504, at page 9.
In Michigan, child support calculations are calculated upon a formula that takes into consideration the number of overnights the child(ren) spend with each parent and also each parent's income (whether actual or imputed). To facilitate identification of whether the allocation of the tax exemption is related to child support or property distribution, and the parent who is the "custodial parent" for IRS purposes, SCAO has developed new FOC 10, FOC 10a and FOC 10b forms. You can see and download the new SCAO FOC 10 Uniform Child Support Orders here: See especially Paragraph 3 of the forms.
"The payer is ordered to pay a monthly child support obligation as follows:
Payer ____________ Payee ____________ Support effective date ________
Children's names, birth dates, and annual overnights with payer: ________
Some of the Michigan cases have challenged a trial court's modification of the IRS exemption. To be non-modifiable, the exemption must be part of the property settlement. See that body of law dealing with non-modifiable property settlements and finality of judgments. As always, upon proof of changed circumstances, an allocation that is related to child support may be modified under the appropriate set of facts. See, e.g., the Clarke case discussed below.
In Michigan, the case law specifically analyzes whether the allocation is part of the property settlement or part of the child support provisions of the judgment. Where the appellate court has been unable to determine the basis of the award, then the cases have been remanded for a determination of that issue.
Let's take a hypothetical case, using the following presumptions:
- Mother is the primary custodial parent and the children spend 223 overnights per year with her.
- Father is the non-custodial parent and the children spend 142 overnights per year with him.
- Mother has not agreed to concede a dependency exemption to Father; in fact, she has specifically objected to doing so.
- The record is clear that the dependency exemption is related to child support. In fact, the new SCAO Uniform Support Orders make it clear that Mother is the "custodial parent"
- The record is clear that the dependency exemption is not related to property distribution. It is not contained within the property distribution section of any judgment, nor is it described as part of the property distribution.
Conclusion: The parties have clearly not negotiated any enforceable property settlement agreement that allocates the exemptions to the non-custodial parent. The Mother has clearly not become contractually bound to allocate or to release the dependency deduction to Defendant Father. Mother is entitled to the exemption.
The only way the non-custodial parent can claim a dependency exemption is by agreement of the custodial parent who must then sign an unconditional written declaration which must be attached to the tax return of the non-custodial parent. The IRS has established Form 8332 for this purpose. These rules are established in IRC Section 152 and Treasury Regulations Section 1.152-4. Note that a custodial parent may release the exemption for a certain year or for all years. Note also at the bottom of Form 8332, unless the release of the exemption is part of the property settlement and is, thus, non-modifiable, the custodial parent may revoke the release in subsequent years.
In Young v. Young, 182 Mich. App. 643 (1990), (cited by the Court of Appeals ["COA"] in Fear v Rogers, infra), the COA decided the case on other grounds—the fact that the judgment of divorce allocating the exemptions was a divorce judgment that was a "qualified pre-1985 instrument" under Sec. 152(e) of the Internal Revenue Code [26 U.S.C. Sec. 152(e) ] entered prior to January 1, 1985." As a result, "[t]he tax provision at issue requires a pre-1985 divorce judgment to have specifically awarded the dependency exemptions and recognizes only subsequent modifications which are consistent with the act."
The dependency exemption treated as part of the property settlement is non-modifiable (absent conditions that may result in modification): This, of course, presupposes that the parties contractually agree to this allocation, or, in one Michigan case, have become contractually bound to the allocation by their agreement to submit all issues to binding arbitration. The importance of this strategy for the allocation is this: property settlement agreements are non-modifiable. A example of why this might work for some couples is:
a) Parent A (usually the non-custodial father) has a far higher annual gross income and the dependency exemptions are more meaningful to him, while
b) Parent B (usually the custodial mother) does not work because the cost of childcare would be nearly equal to her earning capacity. As a result, Mother would pay no income taxes anyway, and the dependency exemptions are not meaningful for her when Father is willing to give her something meaningful (e.g., more property, a higher distribution of cash, etc.) in exchange for the exemptions.
The first case in this category was Fear v Rogers, 207 Mich App 642, 646-647 (1994). Download Fear v Rogers The Fear panel decided, citing Young, supra, that case law allows the parties to agree to allocate the federal income tax exemptions in a manner that does not conform to the U.S. Tax Code as part of a property settlement.
The Fear panel acknowledged that ordinarily, the dependency exemption would be considered part of the child support provisions and, would thus be modifiable. Plaintiff Father argued in Fear that the allocation of the exemptions was part of the parties' property settlement agreement. However, the Fear panel held as follows:
"Plaintiff urges that it was treated as a property issue. However, we cannot divine that conclusion from the judgment of divorce. The allocation of the federal income tax dependency exemption was handled separately in the judgment of divorce from both the child support provisions and the property settlement provisions. Thus, we cannot say from the record before us whether the parties had chosen to treat it as a property issue or a child support issue. Accordingly, the trial court must determine on remand whether the income tax dependency exemption is to be treated as part of the property settlement, and thus subject to the restrictions on modifications of property settlements, or as part of the child support arrangements, and therefore subject to the much more liberal modification rules that govern child support awards.
"For the above reasons, we conclude that the trial court erred in entering its order modifying the judgment of divorce. The order did not reflect an enforceable agreement reached by the parties and, therefore, it was necessary for the trial court to hold the appropriate hearing before entering the order modifying the judgment of divorce. Additionally, the trial court must determine the nature of the allocation of the federal income tax dependency exemption in the judgment of divorce before determining whether it can modify the judgment to award that exemption to defendant. Fear v Rogers, supra, emphasis added.
The second case in which the Court of Appeals had to consider the dependency exemption as part of the property settlement was Frain v Frain, 213 Mich.App. 509 (1995). Download Frain v Frain There, the parties agreed to binding arbitration. In other words, the parties agreed to be contractually bound by the mediator's decision, which could only be set aside if the mediator is shown to have exceeded his authority.
"This leaves plaintiff's remaining objection, that the mediator erred in awarding two of the tax exemptions for the minor children to defendant. Arguably the mediator would have exceeded his authority if state courts lack the power to award federal income tax exemptions as plaintiff argues. However, plaintiff is incorrect that state courts lack that power. Rather, as we observed in Fear v. Rogers, 207 Mich.App. 642, 645, 526 N.W.2d 197 (1994), it is within the authority of state courts in domestic relations matters to award the federal income tax dependency exemptions for the minor children. Thus, it was within the mediator's power to award the income tax exemptions, and plaintiff's argument is reduced to whether the mediator should have awarded two of those exemptions to defendant. But such issues are beyond the scope of judicial review of the mediator's decision." Frain, supra, 213 Mich.App. 512-513.
The holding in Fear and all of the later cases show clearly that the dispositive ruling is NOT that "the trial court has the authority to allocate the dependency exemptions" any old way that it decides, but rather is this: the trial court has the authority to accept the parties' contractual agreement to allocate the exemption as part of their property settlement agreement. If they do so in a clear and unambiguous manner, then a subsequent court may not modify that property distribution.
If, however, the allocation of the exemptions is part of the child support provisions, it must be dealt with according to IRS regulations and the custodial parent with the greater number of overnights will be entitled to the exemptions. If there is a change in circumstances, the exemptions may also be modified later.
In more recent cases, the Court of Appeals has remanded cases to the trial court (as it did in Fear v Rogers, supra) where the record was not clear whether the allocation of tax exemptions was part of the property distribution or was included in the child support part of the judgment.
In Clarke, 290 Mich App 172 (2012): [released for publication on June 26, 2012, Michigan COA Docket No. 303580] Download Clarke_v_Clarke In Clarke, the Court of Appeals acknowledged the holding in Young and Fear, supra at 646-647 [the trial court has the authority to modify an order regarding the federal dependency tax exemption where it is considered part of the child support award].
The Clarke Court noted as follows:
"According to the divorce judgment, the parties agreed to alternate the yearly federal dependency tax exemption for Edwin:
"In the odd numbered years Edwin will spend one day more than half time with Defendant, and Defendant will be entitled to claim head of household filing status and to claim Edwin as a dependent. In the even numbered years Edwin will spend one day more than half time with Plaintiff, and Plaintiff will be entitled to claim head of household filing status and to claim Edwin as a dependent. Each party will execute any IRS documents necessary to effectuate this provision." [Emphasis added]
The Court of Appeals could readily ascertain from the record that "since January 2010, [the child] has been exclusively residing with defendant." Thus, there was a change in circumstances sufficient to modify the exemption allocation. As a result, the Clarke panel held that the trial court's decision to modify the order and award the federal dependency tax exemption for Edwin to the defendant was appropriate.
PRACTICE TIP: The Clarke case raises another interesting issue with respect to the exemption issue. Note that the Clarkes were very careful to enunciate that the child would spend "one day more than half time" with Father in even-numbered years and "one day more than half time" with Mother in odd-numbered years. More often than not, I see Friend of the Court recommendations that say that the child will spend "182.5 days per year with Mother and 182.5 days per year with Father." The tax exemption is given to Mother in even-numbered years and to Father in odd-numbered years (for example). Now what about Leap Year? That is an even-numbered year, so you would think that Mother is entitled to the exemption. But that isn't necessarily so. The child lived with Mother and Father an equal amount of time (183 overnights). There is a "tie-breaker rule" that applies. Under this tie-breaker rule, the parent who has the highest adjusted gross income is entitled to the exemption. See IRS Pub 501 at page 14. Download IRS Pub 501 Highlighted

...that this film is not getting the credit it deserves. It is in my
opinion one of the most underrated films of all time along with The
Matrix Reloaded. Revolutions is undoubtedly different from the previous
films both in general and in terms of tone but why is that necessarily
a bad thing? I won't be so arrogant as to say that the people who don't
like this film are unintelligent. Whether or not people like a film or
not is a subjective matter but I can't help feeling that the people who
dislike (or even hate) this film are missing something because
Revolutions is an intelligent, entertaining, beautiful, sad and moving
The acting of all three films have been a mixed bag and although I usually join in the bashing of Keanu Reeves I find him strangely fitting for the part of Neo. His voice is not the perfect voice due to its monotonous tone but his body language is very good and sometimes even great and that is the case in Revolutions as well. Carrie-Anne Moss plays her character like she did in film two and that is neither particularly good or bad but a decent performance. Laurence Fishbourne's character has been reduced somewhat for the final part of the series but I found that the lines he did have were delivered with conviction and experience. As most people know Gloria Foster died before finishing her scenes for Revolutions and thus a different actress was cast to take over. The choice fell on Mary Alice and while she is no where near as good as Foster she is decent enough. Ian Bliss gets a chance to show his worth in the third film and personally I found his scenes to be among the most interesting of the film and his uncanny imitation of Weaving was spot on. Most of the secondary cast from Reloaded returns in their parts in Revolutions and they all do decent jobs with their characters. Harry J. Lennix (Lock) improved his character tremendously in spite of limited screen time. Hugo Weaving still provides the best acting in the film and steals every one of his regrettably limited number of scenes. He is probably my all time favorite screen bad guy. He manages to show the change in his character remarkably well considering how limited his screen time is. Agent Smith exhibits an increasing amount of human traits including anger, hatred, jealousy and even a sly sense of humor. This change happens to mirror Neo's growing understanding of the machines. Neo and Smith are linked in that way as well.
The effects are of course extraordinary which was to be expected after the stellar effects in the second film. Although there weren't as many scenes inside The Matrix this time around I still found the effects of the "real" world to be awe inspiring at the least and the battle for Zion was an incredible display of special effects. Of course the directors never lost sight of the people involved in the battle making it more tense had it only been effects. The climactic battle between Neo and Smith is quite simply stunning. It takes roughly 15 minutes and I for one hardly breathed in those 15 minutes. All three Matrix films have been inspired by Japanese animé comics and that is very visible in the final battle as one can't help but think of Dragonball for instance. The action in that particular scene is frighteningly well done and I got the chills when I watched it in the cinema. Very well done.
The story is darker in this film than in either of the previous films but that is to be expected as the first film was about birth and the second about life. Obviously that means that the third is about the inevitable end that must come to us all: Death. This does that the tone of the film becomes much darker and I felt that was good. This did that the film distanced itself from the previous films in the series and rather than become another rerun the film becomes its own entirely and that is both its weakness and its strength. I think it is its strength as it increases the originality of the film but apparently a lot of people didn't like the interpretation that the third film represents as is clear from the bashing the film has gotten from audiences and critics alike. The film does still have great symbolic value and you can interpret the film in a great number of ways like the previous films. For me this improves the film(s) greatly as you can watch it again and again and still find new things that will renew your interest.
Sadly I cannot make you love this film as much as I do because that would defeat the purpose of the film which is to make people think for themselves. My conclusion about Revolutions is that you will either love or you will hate it but in my opinion Revolutions is almost as good as the first one and one of the best films I have ever seen.
9/10 - On my top 10 of best films.

TANA Foundation, which is expanded as Telugu Association of North America foundation has set an endowment for awarding scholarships to meritorious students, who are financially weaker. On the basis of the current returns of the foundation, this endowment covers about 8 scholarships. However, the foundation wishes to make more and more contributions for the sake of the future generation of the society and this is why the foundation is looking for sponsors to help them out. Each scholarship will worth US $225 and a request of commitment for a minimum of four years. The foundation ensures that each sponsor will be directly connected to the recipient of the financial aid in such a way that the sponsor can get to know the progress of the recipient then and there.
Low family income:
Meritorious students are chosen from the low income families with less than 65000 income per year and the students will be chosen from the families that does not come under reserved category and does not get any form of financial support from the government. According to the Andhra Pradesh government norms, the government will reimburse the tuition fee for students taking up professional studies. But, TANA foundation states that many students are still left without any form of financial support.
Books and living expenses:
Even though, the government of Andhra Pradesh reimburses their tuition fee, the economic background of these students make it tougher for them to find resources for books and other living expenses. This is why TANA foundation gives these candidates a scholarship of Rs. 12000 per annum, until the completion of their professional degrees like engineering. It is important that to renew their scholarship in the following year, each student will have to maintain a good grade of marks every year.
For the year 2016, TANA foundation awarded 50 scholarships and in the year 2016 their goal was 100 with 50 renewals and 50 new scholarships. Like this, the foundation begins each year with certain goal and they strive to meet the same. The foundation works with the motto that there is no better gift to a less fortunate person other than a good education. This will in addition to uplifting the person in life, will also help in the upliftment of the entire family.
Youth scholarships:
TANA foundation offers different scholarships and youth scholarship is one such program, where in the foundation offers 4 $1000 scholarships for high school seniors, who pursue higher education in North America. The selection of students for this scholarship will be on the basis of economic needs, academic performance and reference from teacher.
Graduates Scholarships:
This is another type of scholarship offered by TANA and this is meant for Telugu students presently residing at Andhra Pradesh. These students can get scholarship to pursue higher education in the United States. This scholarship is announced by the foundation every year calling for applications from eligible candidates to apply for the same. Each recipient will get $500 each semester on submission of the grades they have got in the previous semester.

On the day that the second teenager charged with the vicious murder of a WWII veteran in Spokane, Washington, is due in court, police revealed the sickening brutality inflicted on the helpless 88-year-old victim.
Attacked in his car on Wednesday in the parking lot of Eagles lodge, Delbert Belton was found wedged between the two front seats of his car on Wednesday and was battered so badly he sustained brain damage and had lost too much blood to survive the violent attack.
Kenan Adams-Kinard and Demetrius Glenn, both 16, are accused of battering the war hero to death with flashlights after he fought back during a robbery and according to Belton's daughter-in-law 'They just kept hitting and hitting him.'
'He was an 88-year-old man,' said Barabara Belton to NBC News.
Even if they wanted his money and he didn't want to give it to them, they didn't need to do that.'
'They did a horrendous thing and they need to pay the consequences.'
And speaking one day after the dawn arrest on Monday of 16-year-old Kenan Adams-Kinard following a four-day manhunt for the killing of 88-tear-old, Delbert Belton, his uncle said that living in a small town narrowed his ability to make friends.

As you enter the job market in search of IT jobs, you may find yourself a little dazzled by all of the options out there. How can you position yourself to be found by recruiters offering information technology jobs? One tool that should be in your tool belt as you start the search is LinkedIn. Here are some tips to help you make your LinkedIn profile a good tool as you search for IT jobs.
Make Your Profile Easy to Find
Your profile on LinkedIn serves almost like an online resume. Take the time to develop it well. Start with your profile photo and headline, then add a summary of about 40 or so words, and fill in any experience or education you have. Be sure to use key IT search terms so you will be found by people looking for what you have. Some of the top skills to list in the IT field according to LinkedIn include:
- Cloud and distributed computing
- Storage systems and management
- Network and information security
- Middleware and integration software
- User interface design
- Statistical analysis and data mining
- Virtualization
- Mac, Linux and Unix systems
- Shell scripting languages
These key search terms on your profile can get you seen by recruiters, so add them if you have them. Remember, everything you add to your profile makes you a little easier to find.
Join Groups to Build Your Reputation
LinkedIn groups offer a number of options to IT professionals. Not only can they be a wealth of knowledge, but they also help you build your network and establish yourself as a professional in the field. Build your reputation as a thought leader while also meeting others who can help you with your goals. Interestingly, people who are involved in groups are five times more likely to have their profiles viewed from people outside their networks!
However, with so many groups on LinkedIn, finding the right one can be the biggest challenge. Here are some of the top LinkedIn groups in IT according to Capterra:
- Global Information Technology Professionals Association (28,000+ members)
- Information Security Careers Network (48,000+ members)
- Information Technology Managers Forum (11,000+ members)
- Information Technology Professionals (146,000+ members)
- Information Technology: Jobs, Job Postings & Job Recruiters (287,000+ members)
Joining and participating in these groups can help you find IT jobs as they come available.
Build the Right Connections
LinkedIn is different than other social networking platforms in that the main goal is not to accumulate a vast number of connections. Instead, you need quality connections with others in the IT world. Reach out with personal invitations when you find someone you wish to be connected to, and focus on accepting invitations from those who are in the field or have a related interest or background. Feel free to ignore the invites from strangers who have no apparent connections.
IT jobs are many, but finding them is challenging. Often hires are made before the job is even posted publicly. Use these tools to position yourself as a viable candidate for those who are recruiting for information technology jobs. If you are looking to start a career in IT, contact Globe University to learn more about our IT degree programs.

Islamabad, Feb 4: US President Barack Obama was the chief guest of India's at the Republic Day, reports are saying that similarly Chinese President is going to be Nawaz Sharif's chief Guest this year.
Obama's visit had raised eyebrows in both Pakistan and China.
The decision came just days after India held its grand 66th Republic Day parade in which US President Barack Obama was the chief guest. Obama's visit had raised eyebrows in both Pakistan and China.
The joint military parade of the three branches of armed forces had been the hallmark of the Pakistan Day festivities, which features display of military hardware and cultural activities.
"The decision has been made to hold a joint military services parade on March 23," a "top military source" was quoted as saying by the Dawn daily.
Quoting diplomatic sources, the daily said "(Xi) Jinping is expected to attend the Pakistan Day parade as chief guest".
The parade will be organised by joint staff headquarters in Rawalpindi, which oversees the entire Pakistani military.
The venue for the parade is yet to be finalised, with two vast compounds shortlisted as potential sites.
The last military parade took place on March 23, 2008 during the tenure of Gen Pervez Musharraf as president.
The parade was not held since then due to security reasons.

'He sent me an email to say how much he was enjoying my money': Taunts of cruel thief who conned lonely woman in online dating scam
- Lori Martorana, 41, from London, was tricked out of more than £1,000
- She met the conman, who claimed to be a US Army soldier, on a dating site
- After eight weeks, he asked to visit Lori and the demands for cash began
- By the time she realised what was happening, it was too late
- When she confronted the thief, he said he enjoyed spending the money
A woman who thought she had met her perfect man online has issued a stark warning to other lonely hearts after losing more than £1,000 to an online con artist.
And in a cruel twist, when Lori Martorana, 41, from London, confronted the man, he replied with an email saying how much he was enjoying spending her money.
'I don't consider myself naïve and I never thought something like this would happen to me so it's important that I let other women know even though it's embarrassing to admit,' said Lori.
Duped: Lori Martorana (above) was conned by a man who used this stolen photo of a real soldier to woo her
'We'd been talking for months and exchanged hundreds of emails before cash was mentioned and by that time my guard was down. If he'd asked immediately I would have known.'
The scam began after office manager Lori joined dating website Love2Meet and spent £79 on a profile on the site.
After a month, she was contacted by a man purporting to be Michael Kolb, an officer serving with the US Army in Afghanistan. His picture showed a handsome man in Army fatigues.
Initially though, Lori was unimpressed. 'I liked his photograph but there didn't seem much point because he lived the other side of the world,' she said. 'I replied to his message out of politeness and we soon got chatting.'
But despite her initial reluctance, 'Michael', who described himself as a 45-year-old widower with grown-up children, swiftly started to become an important part of Lori's life.
'The more we talked the more I liked him,' she admits. 'We exchanged private email addresses and soon we were in contact every day.'
Devastated: Lori has decided to make her story public in the hopes that no one else will fall for a similar scam
Sometimes Michael had to go offline urgently, but as he was serving in a war zone, it appeared to make sense to the besotted Lori.
'We grew closer the more we got to know each other. The distance seemed less of an issue because he was due to retire anyway.'
After eight weeks, Michael told Lori he had strong feelings for her and she admitted she felt the same.
Then, when he told her he had some leave coming up and wanted to travel to the UK to meet her in person, she agreed and says she was 'thrilled' that she would at last meet her online match.
'He wasn't pushy, he just said it would be nice to spend time together and get to know each other properly,' said Lori, adding: 'I was thrilled.'
But her joy wasn't to last. Before he could travel to the UK, said Michael, his superior officers would need to know more about her for 'security reasons'.
Unsuspecting, Lori agreed, and when a few days later an email asking for personal and contact information arrived, she had no reason to think it wasn't from a fellow officer as claimed.
Convincing: Along with stolen photos of serving soldiers, the conman also sent shots like this one
Apology: 'Michael' even apologised for the intrusion before asking Lori to hand over more than £1000
Michael even wrote to apologise for the intrusion and assured her it would be worth it once his leave was granted.
Then, out of the blue, she received an email saying the trip would only be approved if she paid a security deposit of £1150 to guarantee his return.
'I was surprised to say the least but Michael said it was common in the US Army to stop soldiers going AWOL,' said Lori.
According to Michael, Lori would have the cash returned when he rejoined his unit in Afghanistan.
She agreed to make an online transfer to the account details he provided and began preparing happily for his visit. 'I was so excited to meet him and started getting ready for his visit,' she adds.
Then, another email arrived. Only, it didn't, as expected, contain details of his visit. Instead, it was a demand for a further £400.
'This time the alarm bells rang straight away,' says Lori. 'I started thinking about all the information and cash I had already sent.'
Panicking, Lori called her bank but found it was too late to stop the transfer. 'They told me to go to the police,' she says. 'As I gave the police officer my statement I felt such a fool.
Swiftly, Michael's story began to unravel. He was not, as he had claimed a member of the US Army. In fact, he didn't exist at all.
The police revealed that photos, supposedly of himself, that he'd sent to Lori had been stolen and that the man in the pictures had been a victim of identity theft.
'I asked him if he was enjoying spending my hard earned money.'
Astonishingly, the conman replied, saying: 'yes thanks'.
The loving emails had been crafted by a scammer interested in nothing more than her cash.
Distraught, Lori emailed the dating site but as his profile had already been removed and his membership terminated there was nothing they could do.
She continued to email 'Michael' in the vague hope of uncovering information that might help police return her money but all she got was requests for more.
Eventually, she snapped. 'I emailed him telling him I knew the truth, that he was nothing more than a con artist,' she said. 'I asked him if he was enjoying spending my hard earned money.'
Astonishingly, the conman replied, saying: 'yes thanks.'
Lori was furious. 'I couldn't believe the cheek of it,' she says. 'I was devastated and angry beyond words. He was taunting me.'
'I never ever thought something like this could happen to me and I still can't believe I was so stupid.
'I'm ashamed and embarrassed but I don't think I am the first or the last to fall for this so I want to warn other women who think they are talking to soldiers.
'They may not have asked for cash yet, it may take several months like it did with me. If you can't meet them they might not be real. I fell for a man that didn't even exist. That hurts just as much as the money.'
She added: 'If speaking out stops one more women being conned it's worth it.'
Asked to comment, dating agency Love2Meet said: 'Scams are something we take very seriously. Our moderation team works 24/7 to ensure our members are safe from scammers.
'Occasionally, one may slip through the net. We would like to apologise to Lori for any distress or upset this may have caused.'

Leigh Syndrome is a fatal disorder that affects the developing nervous system in foetuses. This, and other diseases with their origin in the genome often mean a short and difficult life for babies born with the genes that cause them. But remarkable advances in the science of genetic medicine have presented a solution never seen before. By incorporating the healthy DNA from a donor – who becomes a third genetic parent – this controversial technique allows parents carrying rare genetic mutations to have healthy babies and remove undesired genes. The technique has already resulted in the birth of a healthy baby boy. Carte Blanche meets the doctor who has pioneered this remarkable medical breakthrough.

The door was working by the time the technician arrived, so he only oiled, tightened and added a spring to the door. I am new to this older home and had no idea how old the equipment was. I'm glad nothing major was wrong and that it has now been checked out. The price was very reasonable.

My garage door spring broke and I couldn't' get my cars out . I called Habpro at 8:30 in the morning , and Bill came out in about 45 minutes . He replaced my spring , repaied a roller assembly , lubed and checked all my other rollers and hinges . He was honest enough to tell me I really didn't need a new door at this time . Service was great and fast , Bill was friendly and honest . I would certainly recommend them . Doug

We always strive to give same day service for your garage door repairs. Thank you for choosing Habpro.
From a do it yourself type person this is the first time i have ever thought of hiring someone to do a job that I could do on my own. Main reason was reasonable service time and ease of convenience. I contacted Habpro then check the local stores for a Garage door opener. His price installed was not unreasonable compared to Buying a Box store opener and installing it. I am very satisfied customer and will be calling them again with all my garage door needs.

If your garage door opener needs repair, regardless of the problem we have a solution. Thank you.
I have had to use Habpro twice. In each instance it was a situation that needed to be addressed ASAP. Both times Bill had his crew out very quickly and resolved my issue at a very fair price. It's nice to have someone that you can call, can trust, and know they will resolve your garage door issue in a very timely manner.

Thank you so much for trusting Habpro Garage Door to furnish and install your new garage door. We greatly appreciate your business.
I found Bill of Habpro after seeing his "Do it Yourself" videos on Youtube. I was in need of a new torsion spring for my garage door. Bill was able to come to my home within one hour. When I told him that I had seen his videos, he let me watch him replace the spring while giving me step by step instructions, just incase I want to do it myself in the future. He was very informative and helpful. Service was great and prices competitive. I couldn't ask for more.

Kevin, you had hundreds of companies to choose from and you chose Habpro Garage Doors to replace your garage door spring. Thanks for the TRUST!
Greg came over on Monday evening to look at the garage door my husband partially installed since the existing one did not work.Greg immediately knew the problem and quoted me a Liftmaster and said he could install it Tuesday.He showed up at the appointment time and was able to remove the new one my husband tried to install and then install the Liftmaster. It was hot in the garage but he completed the task in about an hour and it works great. My daughter recommended this company to me and I would gladly recommend them to anyone else in the market for a new garage door opener. Extremely satisfied with their product and service.

Thank you for choosing Habpro for your garage door repairs.
I had Habpro install two garage doors a few years ago. No pressure to replace the openers or any extras. Very competitive on the price of the insulated doors. I had them come back out as one of the doors was not as smooth moving. Diagonised the problem as a bad pulley, replaced it and inspected and adjusted the door.. Thought I would be paying a service call but was it was covered even two years out. Great service. Highly recommended.

This installation was OUT OF WARRANTY, however the part should not have failed so soon and the Right thing to do was to repair it for FREE. We value all of our customers, past and present.
Our garage door came off of the track on Sunday, and trapped our cars in the garage. Bill took our phone call on Sunday, and set our minds at ease that he would have us all fixed up the very next day. Bill is a great guy and is very knowledgable. The price was way less than what we were expecting. No doubt that they will have all of our garage door business in the future!

Chris, We need to control the improper use of structural engineering programs at the building department level rather than restricting sales. There are architects well qualified to practice engineering - albeit they are few and far between. There are others who purchase software and use it under the supervision of an engineer who understands the principles. This goes to the root of the Architect/Engineer debate. How do you stop an architect from practicing engineering if you know that he does not posesses the minimum skills? The Architectural Lobby is unfortunately strong enough to counter such action against them. The only avenue that we have which makes sense is to use the interpretation of the building official or contract plan reviewer. Not a perfect solution, but better than none at all. A building official who discovers that the user of a program does not have the basic understanding of the principles of engineering should report that engineer or architect and prevent him/her from practicing engineering until they can past the basic PE exam. It's difficult to restrict them from the start, and I would think much easier one their weakness is documented. Finally, I think any software that is released to the public before it is ready and can provide ACCURATE results should be held responsible for a portion of the liability. However, this does not include those programs which were beta tested and believed to be accurate. There has to be an intention to defraud the public by knowingly releasing software whose results can affect life safety. This is a difficult one to prove. All software should be tested for the most common uses it was designed to calculate. Creative use of any program should be the responsiblity of the user who must be able to justify the methodology and show why the program satisfies that particular need. Any software that becomes buggy from the installation of another software which happens to write over a modified DLL file should not be held responsible. This should have been addressed at the Operating system level rather than the developer who acted in good faith. Finally, any user can ask the questions to determine if a developer has taken proper steps to insure the accuracy of their software. Has it been beta tested, for how long and what known issues resulted in the beta testing. If the developer refuses to provide this information, the user should look for another tool to use. Dennis S. Wish PE In a message dated 5/16/99 11:01:57 AM Pacific Daylight Time, chrisw(--nospam--at)skypoint.com writes: << >In fact, the brochures >state: "Easy to use structural software for architects, builders, drafters, >engineers, and building departments." Welcome to 'black box engineering--cheap. One size fits all.' It very common for mechanical engineering FEA developers, one of whom claimed it was 'child's play.' Irrespective of the quality of the software (something which never makes it into the ads) if the user hasn't a good grasp of applied mechanics and the applicable codes, if the program contains code compliance assessment, you are cruising for a serious bruising if you assume _anything_ any FEA program puts out is gospel. I've been in the FEA biz for about 25 years and in that time software has proliferated and quality has generally gone right straight to hell. There a few exceptions, but the MicroSoft 'bugs be damned, bloat up the feature set and ship,' philosophy is common. I sometimes wonder if there's a certain critical size engineering software which is unsupportable--so many features aimed so many different sub-disciplines that no single person really understands it all.

Story Retrieval Date: 4/17/2015 11:16:13 AM CST
Since Steven Lee and his partner found the online eye exam startup Opternative, Inc. two years ago, Lee knew the revolutionary approach to ophthalmology would draw criticism from the public, especially fierce opposition from traditional office-based optometrists.
Sporting a crew cut, neat shirt and blue jeans, Lee, 35, executive vice president of Opternative, sitting in a small conference room on 25th floor of River Plaza at 321 North Clark. The startup is backed by Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. a local venture capital firm, and Tribeca Venture Partners in New York City. After the company secured $1 million to develop technology for online eye exams with licensed prescriptions, the American Optometric Association warned the public about the potential dangers of skipping traditional eye exams.
"Initially, we understood there would be opposition," Lee said, compering Opternative with Uber Inc. and Airbnb Inc., which disrupt traditional taxi and vacation housing services. Lee foresaw the opposition and believed the concept would be accepted if people were open-minded.
Lee is one of thousands young technology entrepreneurs the city of Chicago is encouraging and attracting. Last November, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a new initiative aimed at doubling the city's technology economy by adding 40,000 jobs. He said in a press release, "We are seeing unprecedented growth in this vital sector, from established international corporations to start-ups designed by Chicagoans."
Lee wants to build his career in Chicago. Given the fact of less crowded innovators, he sees more opportunities here than in Silicon Valley not only because of the less competitive market but also the strong support in the technology and medical fields from several world-renowned universities.
In 2009, the initial idea of an online eye exam came to Lee, a Toronto native who graduated from Illinois College of Optometry, after he had been practicing optometry in a number of eye care clinics in Chicago.
Lee quit his job as an optometrist to take on an adventure two years ago."We believe that when possible you must choose the world over your own self-interest," said Aaron Dallek, the CEO and co-founder of Opternative, "Steve exemplified this value when he chose to give up his profession and work on Opternative full time."
The online model, which is designed to take five to 10 minutes for a medical-grade prescription, eliminates time consuming and inconvenient of the traditional office-based examinations. Lee, who hopes the technology will help people in Third World countries, where medical care is lacking, says the model can make eye care more accessible to individuals by help patients obtain prescriptions online.
Lee treats both his employees and patients like family, according to Che Smith, an old patient of his two years ago, who later became a friend. Smith said Lee helped him at Lee's apartment once he had an eye emergency at midnight.
Lee has been practicing martial arts since he was 10, the principles of which he adapts to business. "Never give up," he said. "I always prepare for the worst while working hard. Even [with] 20 people telling you no, you can still get one person telling you yes."
