The retroactive amount has not yet been finalized. It will be tied to the new monthly support Johnston must pay going forward - a figure the judge is expected to order once she reviews his overdue financial records.

Bristol Palin is asking for about $1,700 a month and a retroactive lump sum of $19,232.

'Growing Pains' actor Andrew Koenig found dead

VANCOUVER — More than a week after scouring the city for missing American actor Andrew Koenig, friends who had organized their own search discovered the 41-year-old man's body in the vast urban park that he favored when he lived here more than 10 years ago.

Walter Koenig, also an actor known for his role as Chekov on the original Star Trek series, said his son's body was found Thursday by friends in Stanley Park.

"Our son took his own life," Koenig said, struggling to maintain his composure. "He was obviously in a lot of pain."

Koenig, flanked by his wife, Judith, said their son, known for his role as Richard "Boner" Stabone on the popular 1980s TV series Growing Pains, was in the midst of a life-long struggle with depression.

Top Treasury Official Backs Off Promise To Stem Foreclosure Crisis, Signature Initiative May Fall Short

"Obama" is a Kenyan word for "Hoover"




A top Treasury Department official indicated Thursday that the Obama administration's signature foreclosure-prevention initiative may not deliver on its promise to help three to four million troubled homeowners permanently reduce their monthly payments.

Under questioning by a Congressional panel, Phyllis Caldwell, chief of Treasury's Homeownership Preservation Office, would not repeat previous assurances about the Home Affordable Modification Program.

Through January, only about 116,000 homeowners have received permanent modifications, resulting in average monthly savings of more than $500. The program was launched last year. Wall Street analysts, mortgage experts and homeowner advocates have criticized the program for its slow progress. Treasury and White House officials have, in the past, repeatedly stressed that the plan would eventually meet its goal of helping three to four million borrowers by 2012.
