On [[February 11]], [[2008]], she held a press conference after holding a special concert on the same day.

However, it only debuted at #4 on the chart, which seemed disappointing to her fans. Rumours clamied that it didn't reach the top because she has drawn criticism for remarks she made about the two men who were in a fishing boat sunk by an MSDF Aegis destroyer. Even though she apologized for her bad statements, her album never ranked #1. |

In October 2008, Dart made national news when he announced that he was suspending all [[foreclosure]] [[eviction]]s in Cook County.

Dart stated that many of the people being evicted were [[Renting|renters]] who had faithfully paid their rent but had not known that their [[landlord]] was in financial trouble. He explained that in many cases, mortgage companies had not fulfilled their obligation to identify tenants in the foreclosed properties, and said, "These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and don't care... who gets hurt along the way."

Tom Dart is a former member of the Illinois House of Representatives and is currently the Sheriff of Cook County.
Dart won the Democratic primary on March 21, 2006, defeating Sylvester Baker and Richard Remus in a landslide victory. Later that year, he won the general election and officially replaced Michael F. Sheahan as Cook County Sheriff.
Dart served as State Representative for the 28th district from 1993 to 2002. In 2002, he was the Democratic nominee for Illinois State Treasurer, but lost to incumbent Republican, Judy Baar Topinka.
In October 2008, Dart made national news when he announced that he was suspending all foreclosure evictions in Cook County. The number of such evictions had increased dramatically since 2006, as a result of the national subprime mortgage crisis. Dart stated that many of the people being evicted were renters who had faithfully paid their rent but had not known that their landlord was in financial trouble. He explained that in many cases, mortgage companies had not fulfilled their obligation to identify tenants in the foreclosed properties, and said, "These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and don't care... who gets hurt along the way." He continued, "We're not going to do their jobs for them anymore. We're just not going to evict innocent tenants. It stops today." The Illinois Banker's Association was highly critical of Dart, accusing him of "ignoring his legal responsibilities" and of engaging in "vigilantism" and stated they had a right to declare " Martial Law" of which they do not possess the military authority jurisdictions, a criminal and treasonous act, of 1970's "RED-Lining", stated by these domestic and international bankers, of which we have been in since "911" when the "GON" had a preventable treasonous attacked upon THE "homeland" military target (Hm).[1].[1]
