State Demographics
In 1996, Delaware's youth population under age 18 was approximately 176,000 (Casey Foundation 1998).
Of the State's children, approximately 5 percent were living in families with incomes below 50 percent of the poverty level in 1995. Further, it is estimated that in 1995, approximately 21 percent of Delaware's children under age 13 were living in working-poor families or families where at least one parent was working 50 or more hours a week but the family's income was still below the poverty level (Casey Foundation 1998).
Delaware ranked 34th in the country in terms of teen birth rate for 1995. This same year, the birth rate in the State was approximately 39 births per 1,000 young women ages 15-17. This was up from 33 births per 1,000 young women in 1985 (Casey Foundation 1998).
During the 1993-94 school year, 150 students were expelled from public school (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, p. ii). Of this figure, African-American students constituted 53 percent (79 students) of those expelled while representing only 28 percent of the school population. Anglo students comprised 67 percent of the school population while representing only 22 percent (33 students) of the expulsions (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, p. 27). Students were most often expelled for the possession or concealment of a weapon on school property (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, p. 26).
Also during the 1993-94 school year, there were 10,159 suspensions from public school. Of this total, 30 percent (3,096 students) were young women while 70 percent (7,063 students) were young men. Of the young women suspended, 18 percent were African-American, 11 percent were Anglo, and 1 percent were Hispanic (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, p. 25).
In the 1993-94 school year, the dropout rate for Delaware's schools was 5 percent, and students ages 16-17 constituted the largest percentage of students dropping out. Young women represented 47 percent of the dropouts for 1993-94, which was up from 44 percent in 1992-93 (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, pp. 27-28).
Overview of the Juvenile Justice System
The State of Delaware has a unified statewide court system to deal with juvenile delinquency cases. This court has a maximum of 13 judges with equal judicial authority. However, one is appointed to serve as Chief Judge. Judges are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate for 12-year terms. Besides judges, Delaware uses masters to hear civil cases involving child custody and adoption among other civil issues and commissioners to hear criminal matters (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, pp. 38-39).
The Formula Grants Program is housed within the Executive Department of the Criminal Justice Council. There is also a Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services, part of the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families, which is charged with providing treatment services to juvenile offenders. This is accomplished through Delaware's two detention centers and a range of nonsecure detention alternatives (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1996, p. 37).
Offense Patterns and Processing of Juvenile Female Offenders
The following statistics give an overview of the information available on female offending and processing patterns in Delaware:
Table 7. Delaware Top Five Anglo Female Offenses, 1991
Table 8. Delaware Top Five African-American Female Offenses, 1991
Approach to Female Offenders
Through a study conducted in 1995, Delaware's Criminal Justice Council became aware that young women in the State's juvenile justice system who were in out-of-home placement under the custody of the State did not have access to an independent living training program when they returned to the community. This service was also not available for young women placed out of State once they returned to Delaware.
As a result, the State requested Challenge Activity E funds to establish an intensive aftercare program entitled Supervised Independent Living Program. The program is designed to serve young women ages 16-18 who need assistance with establishing an independent living environment once they have been returned to the State from out-of-State placements or have been released from the State's residential treatment centers.
The program, People Place II, Inc., provides a temporary apartment environment, 24-hour onsite supervision and assistance, and intensive educational support, such as General Educational Development (GED) preparation, job, and computer skill development (Delaware Criminal Justice Council 1995, p. 1).

The pair had separated earlier this year, and Los Angeles County Superior Court documents filed Nov. 27 made the split official.
Lane, 48, who had legally changed her name to Diane Lane Brolin, has restored her name to Diane Lane.
Last month, Brolin, 45, checked into a rehab facility following several public altercations.
The actors were married in 2004, during a ceremony at Brolin's central California ranch.
The couple have had a tumultuous marriage, as Brolin was arrested just four months after the wedding for spousal battery. Although Lane phoned police claiming Brolin had hit her, she did not press charges.
After the couple separated, James Brolin, Josh's father, told PEOPLE the split was "mutual."
"He's great," James said. "You know, everything is mutual. It's all okay."

While New York City-based magician Adam Cardone is performing one of his acts, few would probably notice his tattoo which reads "Made in Altoona" - a testament to the place where his career got started.
Cardone, 38, grew up in Altoona has been performing magic since age 10, starting with private events and local festivals.
He went on to study acting at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, but never wanted to settle for a theater job.
Article Photos
Courtesy photo
Adam?Cardone performs his milk can escape act during the?Olde?Time Coney?Island?Strongman Spectacular in Coney Island,?N.Y., on May 19.
"There's no magician school, you know?" he said. "But I was always interested in that sort of weird performing style."
Now, Cardone is a full-time magician in New York. He's hired for things like birthdays, weddings or bar mitzvahs, but also has regular appearances and partakes in special events.
He said his acting training helps him "100 percent."
Fact Box
If you go
Adam Cardone, Cardone The Magician, is a featured performer in "The Spook Show: House of Ghostly Haunts" at the Canal Park Playhouse, 508 Canal St., New York, N.Y., at 7 p.m. every Tuesday through July 24.
For information, go to canalpark
playhouse.com or call 866-811-4111.
"I always tell people magic is an extrovert art form that attracts introverts," he said. "I always thought if you're a magician, you should study theater because it's the same thing, it's performance art. But most magicians don't study theater, which is kind of sad."
There are many things Cardone does differently from other magicians. Escaping from real straight jackets and swallowing sharp swords are just the beginning. One trick Cardone said gets a big reaction from audiences is his ventriloquism act that's done without a dummy.
"It's like a six-minute routine where it's me and a plastic jar, and I'm throwing my voice into it," he said. "That gets probably one of the biggest reactions because most people haven't seen anything like it."
Cardone also recently perfected a new trick called the milk can escape. He trained for a year to be able to hold his breath long enough to escape from a milk can, which is filled with water and padlocked from the outside.
"It's something I've always wanted to do, and something Houdini actually invented," he said. "I like it because it's classic in nature. I like the old school magic stuff.
"A lot of [magicians] don't want to deal with it, and that's why I'll do it."
Cardone presented the trick for the first time last month at the Olde Time Coney island Strongman Spectacular on Coney Island. He said it ended up going better than he ever imagined.
"That was definitely the most nervous I have ever been performing something, ever," he said. "I actually got really choked up when I finally got out. I was definitely moved by the whole experience."
Though he doesn't necessarily like the fact that his son performs such dangerous feats, Adam's father, George Cardone of Altoona, said he enjoys that his son has made a career of what makes him happy.
"I'm the kind of person [who believes] you raise your kids to fly," he said. "He's liked magic ever since he was little. His grandfather bought him his first magic kit."
George Cardone said his son has always had the extroverted personality that has made him a great performer. His willingness to experiment and learn from his mistakes also sets Adam apart, he added.
"It was always his first love," George said of Adam and his magic. "He has the personality to do it. ... I hope he keeps right on going. He's paying the bills, that's all I care about."
However he accomplishes it, Adam said he simply wants to continue showing audiences how close magic can seem to reality.
"For me, that's what magic is, it's that fine line between fantasy and reality," he said. "I really try to push it as far as I can, and that's not just for the show. It's for me, too.
"The modern audience has a short attention span. ... Capturing their imagination is not easy. So I think whatever you're doing, it's gotta be good."

This was by far one of the more brilliantly odd finds ever, two chairs deep in the middle of the forest, they were so out of place!

Daily DeviationGiven 2012-06-19
The suggester says, "A beautiful, interesting picture with wonderful colors", and Nature by ~Golldfire is certainly that! The contrast between the top and bottom half really correlates well with the slight surrealism of the concept itself. ( Suggested by VisualPoems and Featured by 3wyl )
nice concept. lovely colors
nice one
reminds me of alice in wonderland
wait..... wheres the Mad Hatter?
Weird but of course absolutely amazing. I love this concept and whole series
So what's up doc?
great piece
Wow - I love the concept, and it was wonderfully executed! The slightly casual pose makes me smile - almost as if the bunny has been waiting, and the viewer for once is the late one. Congrats on the DD; it is well deserved!
Damn this is a bit... creepy <_<
The leaves on the ground make it even more so. Did you really just find the chair/etc everything there and just sat down? Coincidence that really worked out.
The leaves on the ground make it even more so. Did you really just find the chair/etc everything there and just sat down? Coincidence that really worked out.
kind of one of my fears...
Seeing this picture right before I am about to go to sleep is hopefully going to give me some insight into future works. This is also one of the more creative concepts I have seen in quite some time. Excellent work.
I want a rabbit head so bad.
A great picture!
May I ask were you acquired this mask from if all of your others are cut-outs?
May I ask were you acquired this mask from if all of your others are cut-outs?
Awesome picture! A little creepy, but very cool Good job
beautiful photo and beautiful colors n.n I love it!!
This is awesome
I kind of feel like this has a subtle hint of darkness to this... I really like it!
This reminds me of a film by David Lynch, simply called "Rabbits." It's a very creepy, unsettling, surreal film, that honestly hurt my brain to watch. This picture isn't quite that creepy, but it's definitely surreal enough that it brought that film to mind.
Thanks, I've just tried watching rabbits. And I was just too confused by it! haha! But yes very creepy
Just wanna say that after seeing this comment that definitely sounded interesting and now I just watched Rabbits part 1... Oh yeah, that is definitely creepy! And confusing, and yet I wanna keep watching!!!
The whole thing is on youtube somewhere (unless they took it down?), I watched it a year ago or so. It is creepy in a fascinating way for sure. Interesting thought exercise.
Yeah, I just watched through it all. I know what you mean now, I think my brain hurts, still trying to sort it all through (and probably will continue to for a long time haha) though I love those kinds of creepy/fascinating things!!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! My 6 year old son has Celiac disease, we have only known for 5 months now. He is always very excited when I came across a new recipe that he can eat! I will be trying this one very soon! They look soooo yummy! This is where I purchase my almond flour (the same thing as almond meal): http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/blanchedalmondflour25lb.aspx The 25 lb bag is huge but it is the best price and the company sends out promotional codes and their shipping is very cheap. It is also the almond flour that Elana Amsterdam uses in her recipes!

Thanks Pam! This recipe is awesome! I had to try it right away and it's even better than it looks. I have family members who have Celiac disease (literally end up in the ER with ANY gluten) so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. I was so impressed with the way these turned out I'm not even sure I want to go back to your other recipe (which I also love). These have a great nutty flavor, held their shape and stayed moist even though I was afraid I'd overbaked them. I love to shock people by telling them they've just enjoyed a gluten-free cookie!

Thank you so much for testing the recipe and letting me know how it is, Ohphelia. I'm so excited that you love it and it turned out good for you! You are the first person to actually try the recipe and write me a review. So I thank you VERY MUCH for doing so. ♥♥♥

Hi Pam,
I love looking at your cookies. You are sooooo talented! I am just starting to get the hang of the whole cookie thing ! I wanted to know before I try this recipe if they are freezeable undecorated? I told a friend I would try to make his mom a dozen of gluten free cookies! I really want to try these but I wanted to make them way ahead of time .
Thankyou ,'
- August 3, 2012 at 7:15 PM
- cookiecrazielady said...
Thanks Jmkase8. I have never attempting freezing these undecorated, so I can't answer your question. My regular cookies are most definitely freezeable. Maybe you could do a trial run by freezing a small batch for a week or two and see if freezing them works. Enjoy. :)

Pam, These look delicious! Thanks for coming up with the recipe! I have been experimenting with alternative flours, and almond and coconut flours are two of them.

Thanks Nancy. I agree with you.....it is fun to experiment. Since this post, I've come up with a few more recipes that I need to share. I kind of put them on the "shelf" as I was busy doing other things. I continue to eat grain free......so it is only natural that I'm finding more and more ways to bake with no grains. :)
- October 11, 2012 at 7:01 AM
- Julie said...
I just made these for my goddaughter who is newly grain-free, and oh my goodness, we all love them. I wanted to share that I didn't have any coconut flour in the house, so I substituted 2T of a GF flour blend that I have on hand (rice flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch) and they turned out AWESOME. Even without frosting! ;)
- March 19, 2013 at 4:53 PM
- cookiecrazielady said...
Oh Julie....this is so wonderful to hear. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks so much for the feedback. I've got a few other ideas/possibilities in mind and I really need to move forward with them. I'm trying to figure out a form of glaze without sugar and corn syrup. I've got the sweeter to use, but I haven't found an alternative to corn syrup. I thought I had it in a "no sugar' syrup I found recently, but then I learned that malitol is the "bad" sugar alcohol with a high glycemic value.....almost as high as sugar. So now, I'm back to square one. Any suggestions on a syrup with a low glycemic value? I'd love to make a grain free and sugar free " decorated sugar cookie". :)

Nubile but nice, SANDRA DEE was head cheerleader of Hollywood's late-'50s Dream Team of young film stars. She went from top model to top teen fantasy as the original Gidget and the fallen good girl in the movie A Summer Place. Offscreen, she headlined in a patchy run as Mrs. Bobby Darin.
Decked out in flamboyant duds, made up with sequins and eyeliner, LITTLE RICHARD shocked America with his notions about motion and his suggestive lyrics. And this was after he'd made an effort to tame down his act. "Back in my time, you couldn't say what you wanted to say," he once remarked. "When I made 'Tutti-Frutti,'it was'Tutti-Frutti' something else. I then had to clean it up and say 'Tutti-Frutti, aw rootie.' "
TV's hair apparent to James Dean, EDD "KOOKIE" BYRNES was slick as the cool car jockey on 77 Sunset Strip (snap, snap) who endlessly combed his hair and offered to "keep the eyeballs rolling." Budding bobby-soxers went wild and expressed their fervor by swooping up a million copies of Edd's novelty single, the relentlessly cutesy "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)."
PAT BOONE was the white-buck wonder, so pure he once balked at pillowcases imprinted with his face, questioning the seemliness of appearing in girls' bedrooms. His versions of tunes like "Ain't That a Shame" got him dubbed an "idol Grandma can dig too."
Sand sensation TROY DONAHUE made waves in A Summer Place, Surfside 6 and Hawaiian Eye but later confessed he'd felt parched for earthier roles: "After all those years playing Mr. Clean, I was afraid to comb my hair for fear of scratching my halo."
Sparks were flying and jukeboxes were blowing fuses when CHUCK BERRY first laid down the rhythm and hues of rock and roll in the mid-'50s. "Maybellene," "Johnny B. Goode" and "Sweet Little Sixteen" became foundation songs for everyone from the Beatles to Bob Dylan, but only rank amateurs ever dared copy the duck walk.
At 16, PAUL ANKA put the emote back in emotions with "Diana." Subsequent straight-to-the-heart numbers like "You Are My Destiny" didn't break musical ground, but he managed to pen a classic, "My Way," for Frank Sinatra.
He looked like an algebra honors student, but oh, boy, could he raise the power onstage. With and without the Crickets, BUDDY HOLLY fired out vocals in a fasttorqued falsetto that made fans rave on long after his death in 1959, at 22, in the plane crash that also killed Ritchie Valens.
With his plush lyric baritone and his startling looks, chances are JOHNNY MATHIS would have been a star in any era. But in the late 1950s, when rock and roll ruled the airwaves, Mathis reigned as romantic balladeer, although he later reflected he'd felt uneasy with his "mushy" image "because a man isn't supposed to be as romantic as a woman."
Unearthing a Mexican folk song, "La Bamba," Chicano rocker RITCHIE VALENS polished it into a hit that has been remade by everyone from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to Los Lobos.
When he wed his 13-year-old second cousin in 1958, JERRY LEE LEWIS left everybody breathless and sent his career down in great balls of fire. But too much free time drives a wild man insane, and within 10 years "the Killer" was back on top—of his piano and the charts.
In 1958 deejays were flooded with requests for "Splish Splash" by the self-proclaimed "next Sinatra," BOBBY DARIN. He earned torrential success and two Grammys with "Mack the Knife" in 1959, but by the mid-'60s his career had beached. In 1973 he died of heart disease.

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula has settled with the Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for dozens of health and safety violations cited late last year.
In December, OSHA proposed $176,444 in fines for the shipyard and five of its subcontractors.
Initially, the shipyard was cited with 42 health and safety violations and hit with more than $166,000 in fines.
Some of those violations have been removed as part of the settlement, and 34 remain, according to Michael Wald, director of public affairs at the regional office in Atlanta.
The fines were also reduced to $84,360, Wald said.
Ingalls, a segment of Huntington Ingalls Industries, has paid $77,360 for the 31 remaining safety violations and $7,000 for the health violations.
OSHA's original report included shipyard violations such as allowing lead, arsenic and cadmium dust to accumulating in a lunch area; dispensing of flammable liquids in improper or damaged containers; blocked exits; and impalement, electrical, fall and machine guarding hazards.
"Huntington Ingalls has abated the violations and paid the penalties, so their inspection is now closed," Wald said Friday.
OSHA officials opened the inspection after receiving a complaint in June 2011 about safety hazards at the local yard.
The initial inspection was expanded to a comprehensive safety and health inspection under OSHA's Site Specific Targeting Program, which focuses on companies in industries with higher-than-average injury and illness rates.
The five subcontractors hit with citations were: Marine Flooring LLC, General Insulation Inc., U.S. Joiner LLC, Robert J. Baggett Inc., and Industrial Corrosion Control.
OSHA promptly withdrew its citations against Industrial Corrosion Control.
General Insulation, which received a $2,384 fine for electrical hazards, paid its fine and has abated the issue, Wald said.
U.S. Joiner, which had a $2,167 penalty for electrical hazards, has also paid its fine and abated the violation.
Robert J. Baggett, which was cited for one violation with no monetary penalty, has corrected its violation, Wald said. It was cited for using a portable diesel fuel tank that lacked identification of its contents and an appropriate hazard warning.
"The only open inspection is Marine Flooring LLC," Wald said. "They corrected the violation during OSHA's inspection, but they did not contest the violation and have not paid their fine yet."
The company had been cited a $1,785 penalty for applying a corrosive material without ensuring that employees had access to an eyewash facility.

text: Sally is getting frustrated with Rosie and tells her to sell her car and stop sponging off her and Kevin. Rosie has other plans though and stuns John in the café by announcing she wants to be a doctor. He's diplomatic until he realises she wants money from him for her 'funding' and politely declines. Scheming madam Rosie threatens to accuse John of assault if he does not give her £50,000 and when John firmly refuses Rosie opens the door and starts screaming for help. Molly's worried that Kevin has changed his mind about leaving their spouses so she is relieved and delighted when he meets her at the motel and confirms that he is ready to leave Sally. Feeling pushed out by George, Ken promises to buy Simon a bike for Christmas. He soon realises though that he will have to find a job if he is going to keep his extravagant promise and he scans the local paper for work. Teresa persuades Lloyd to throw a party at the flat. Unbeknownst to him she invites Graeme, Sean and the factory girls, telling them the party has a theme: Vicars and Liz! Oblivious Liz is puzzled when Graeme keeps staring at her in the Rovers. The factory girls meet in the pub, with Janice, Kelly and Fiz dressed in Liz-inspired outfits and Sean dressed as a vicar in stockings and suspenders. Liz obliviously compliments Fiz's outfit but eventually twigs what's going on when Graeme turns up looking uncannily like her. Teresa arrives with Lloyd who is mortified and embarrassed for Liz. Elsewhere Becky and Clare agree to go on a night out and Eddie spots a money making opportunity and tells Deirdre her gutters are blocked.

Abstinence-only programs are associated with increased pregnancy and birth rates.
The United States has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among developed countries—but the appropriate response has been contested because of debate over how sex education should be taught. Some federal laws promote an abstinence-only approach. Such legislation provides funds for abstinence-based programs and prohibits most programs from providing information about contraception or safer-sex practices. A recent study, however, has found that not only does that approach to sex education fail to prevent teenage pregnancies, it's positively correlated with increases in teenage pregnancies and births.
The sex education laws and policies in each of the 48 states studied were analyzed to determine the extent to which the state emphasized abstinence in its sex education program. (North Dakota and Wyoming were excluded, as they had no state law or policy regarding sex or STD and HIV education as of 2005.) States were assigned ordinal values from 0 to 3 in four categories of emphasis: no provision (0), abstinence covered (1), abstinence promoted (2), and abstinence stressed (3). The most recent data available from national reports on teenage pregnancy, teenage births, and abortion rates among teens 15 to 19 years of age were from 2005.
Data analysis showed that the more abstinence was stressed, the higher were the rates of teen pregnancy and births. Of the four approaches, the most effective was level 1, which included comprehensive sex or HIV education (or both) and covered contraception, condom use, and abstinence.
Anne Teitelman, assistant professor of nursing at the University of Pennsylvania, responded to the study by saying that with this additional evidence, NPs in family planning, adolescent health, and school nursing can be confident that providing comprehensive sexual health information to youths is appropriate and effective. "Practicing nurses can also reassure parents," she added, "that talking with their teenagers about sex and contraception will not encourage sexual activity and will result in lessening the chance that young people will experience unintended pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections."
Barbara Huberman, a nurse and director of education and outreach for Advocates for Youth, noted that a major initiative, the Future of Sex Education, created new National Sexuality Education Standards, which were released in January (to read the standards, go to http://bit.ly/zbbN8R). "Among developed countries, we're the last to create national standards for minimum, essential core content and skills in sex education," Huberman says. "School nurses are the most trusted by parents to deliver sex education," she adds, and should be trained as sexuality educators and in providing "leadership in their school to adopt comprehensive sex education."—David Carter

McClatchy Announces Restructuring Plan
The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) announced today that it plans to reduce its workforce by about 10% as the company accelerates efforts to manage through today's difficult advertising market and position itself for future success in an increasingly competitive environment.
"We have been transitioning steadily and successfully from a traditional newspaper company to an integrated multimedia company for some time," said McClatchy CEO Gary Pruitt. "The effects of the current national economic downturn -- particularly in real estate, auto and employment advertising -- make it essential that we move faster now to realign our workforce and make our operations more efficient. I'm sorry this requires the painful announcement we are making today, but we're taking this action to help ensure a healthy future for our company."
McClatchy said it is reducing workforce through both voluntary and involuntary separations, as well as managed attrition, involving about 1,400 full-time equivalent employees (FTE's). The company will retain its strategic focus on sales, news and online operations as it realigns operations, with decisions about the size and profile of changes differing by location.
McClatchy historically has not used broad layoffs to manage staff size, relying instead on attrition and selected job eliminations through outsourcing. This has been an effective strategy, resulting in workforce reduction of 13% between the end of 2006 and April 2008, but today's more competitive media environment and challenging operating conditions mean the company must move more aggressively to shape the overall workforce.
"It's important to recognize this move as part of a continuing, strategic vision for successful future operations, not solely a response to today's adverse conditions," Pruitt said. "McClatchy is committed to remaining a healthy, profitable company positioned not only to meet current challenges, but to take full advantage of opportunities for growth as we restructure to support our mission of delivering high quality news and information. Our five-year plan has recognized the need for a workforce smaller than today's; in adjusting to the current economic environment, we find we must move more quickly to that goal."
McClatchy's cash expenses were down 10.5% in the first quarter of 2008 and FTE count was down 7.5% from prior year.
The moves announced today will produce annual savings of about $70 million from staff reductions as part of a plan to reduce overall expenses by $95 million to $100 million over the next four quarters. Combined with previous expense control initiatives, the company expects to reduce non-newsprint cash expense in the low double-digit percentage range over the balance of 2008 excluding severance costs of about $30 million.
McClatchy has continued to grow total audience even in today's economic climate. Adding newspaper readership to the unduplicated reach of online, digital and niche products, the company's local media franchises in 29 premium markets nationwide reach on average 70% of the adults in their communities. Online audience growth of 25% in 2007 far outpaced industry averages, and the first quarter of 2008 saw even more dramatic growth of 41%.
"Growing audience has always been the best predictor of future success for any media company, and in our case it is also an essential foundation for our public service mission," said Howard Weaver, McClatchy's vice president, news. "As difficult as it is to say farewell to valued colleagues, we continue to employ by far the largest and most experienced newsrooms in each of our communities and will continue to do so. They enjoy greater reach and employ better tools today than ever in our 151-year history, and we do not intend to slack in pursuing our obligations."
McClatchy said the company would work to ensure a smooth transition during the downsizing, providing severance payments and benefit continuation to affected employees. "We will move as quickly as possible to inform those affected by this plan and will work hard to treat them with the respect owed to colleagues whom we will all miss," said Heather Fagundes, the vice president for human resources at the company.

It is generally believed that when discharged patients either do poorly in the community or are rehospitalized it may be because of the negative attitude of relatives. Freeman and Simmons3,4 found that patients living with wives performed at a higher level while in the community than patients living in a parental home. Both groups, however, were readmitted at the same rate. Brown et al1 found that successful outcome was associated with the social group to which the patients went—patients staying with siblings or in lodgings made a better post-hospital adjustment than those staying with parents, with wives or in large hostels. In each of the above studies there was some question as to the patient's condition at the time of release and it is possible that the results can be partly attributed to this fact. Wives may demand that their husbands be

Play our free bingo game and you never have to deposit. Our bingo game works on all browsers and is a favorite among bingo aficionado's. Offers for UK residentsAll the popular internet bingo rooms offer an incentive to open a real money player account. At most UK bingo sites, when you make a £10 initial deposit you'll be welcomed with £20 or more in added bonus funds. Some bingo sites also give 7-day access to free bingo games offering cash prizes. Finally, a small number of bingo room actually offer free cash via no deposit required bingo bonuses. Below are the top two bingo no deposit offers for UK players.
www.32redbingo.com offers a £10 bingo no deposit bonus to new players. To claim it, register an account at their website, click deposit from the cashier and add your credit card details. Your card will not be billed; this is simply the process of verifying your identity and activating your account for real money play. Once this process is complete the £10 will be added to your account within 15-minutes.
www.singbingo.com provides £10 no deposit required bonus to players who register on their website. This provides players free access to real money games. In order to withdrawal you'll eventually need to deposit. You also need your balance to reach at least £40 to request a withdrawal; at which time, the free £10 you were given is repaid and you can cash out the difference.
Important Warnings
There are a few things players taking advantage of no deposit offers should be aware of:
- Capped Winnings: Most no deposit bingo rooms have a term that limits the amount a player who has never deposited can win. For example at Sing Bingo the maximum payout to a free player is £100.00. This is important to be aware of as there would be nothing worse than hitting a jackpot at progressive bingo only find out you were not eligible.
- Deposit Required: It might sound silly that someone with a £100.00 balance needs to deposit £5 or £10 to a bingo site before requesting this balance, but that's how it works. Once you have a balance accumulated from no-deposit play, you'll need to make a small deposit to activate your cashier for withdrawals. This is a required step before cash outs are allowed.
- No Deposit Bonuses are Loans: Most all bingo sites offering such bonuses have a term that the free cash is deducted when you withdrawal. So for example if you had a £10 no deposit bonus and are now cashing out £62.50 you'll receive £62.50 request – £10 payback = £52.50.
These are only the most common warnings. It's important to read the bingo sites lengthy terms and conditions to determine any other strings the attached to their no deposit bonus. Due to how many strings are generally involved, our sincere advice is to consider depositing £5 to Bet365.
Bet365 Offers Best Low Cost Bingo Bonus
bingo.bet365.com offers a £25 cash bonus for just a £5 initial deposit. This means if you register an account here and deposit five quid you'll have a CASH balance of £30.00. Once you've completed a four-time turnover of deposit+bonus any balance you have remaining is a free and clear and can be cashed out. This is the best bingo bonus period for reason it is a cash bonus. Most internet bingo rooms offer free play sticky bonuses you'll need to repay when taking your first payout.
Our page on real money bingo shows a dozen methods that can be used to deposit at Bet365. Some of these are quite simple and from the UK you can use credit card, PayPal or even deposit using cash. Considering you get £30 cash (sincerely cash) for just a £5 deposit, and will be eligible for all promotions, jackpots and everything else, this offer at Bet365 offers far more value than no deposit bonuses. If you have the £5 to spare, this is no doubt your best option to get started playing bingo online.

CHESPEAKE, Va. - The U.S. Navy SEALs are legendary for their toughness and tenacity. These highly trained warriors spend years honing their skills on land, sea, and air.
The group gained almost super hero status with the recent tracking and elimination of 9/11-mastermind Osama bin Laden.
CBN News Reporter Chuck Holton, a former Army Ranger, recently went on a mission to find out if SEAL training was as tough as many say it is.
Tasting the Real Thing
Welcome to the Extreme SEAL Experience. Situated just outside Norfolk, Va., the week-long course gives regular folks a taste of the real thing.
I (Chuck) wanted to see if I still had what it takes, so I signed up. Fifteen others showed up the first day, regular guys from all different backgrounds
Retired Navy SEAL Sr. Chief Don Shipley runs the program with the help of other former SEALs.
"All these instructors are SEALs," Shipley said. "We've all been though hell week; we've all done the deployments. We know what it takes to get through that training." The Extreme SEAL Experience started with a surprise wake-up call at 2:30 a.m. I knew a long hard day was on the horizon.
The beginning of the course is comprised of 24 hours of grueling physical and mental challenges.
Navigating Hell Night
"The first day of training we run down here is called Hell Night. It's a simulation of hell week in BUD/S… kind of," Shipley explained.
BUD/S stands for Basic Underwater Demolition School, the 6-month training all Navy SEALs must complete.
The most intense part: Hell week - 132 hours that push men past their breaking points, with much of it done in the cold ocean water. Most who enter the school drop out during this phase. "If I was running actually SEAL training down here, I'd be backing ambulances in here every day," Shipley said. "It's very controlled chaos down here." The next 24 hours were non-stop action, starting with a 10-mile paddle, eight men crammed into each boat. Navigating the river in compete darkness was more difficult than I anticipated. Still, it was a pretty good team work exercise, kind of getting to know each other, trying to figure out how we were going to work together and make this happen. We ended up in front of a stagnant, algae-infested pond.
Then the fun began. Nothing like pond scum for breakfast. But there's a method to the madness. Special operators can't afford to be squeamish.
We haven't even been out here for three hours yet and this is where we were. I got a the feeling it was going to get a lot harder from here.
Grueling PT
Next came lots and lots and lots of physical training, or PT -- hundreds of push-ups, sit-ups, flutter kicks, and whatever else the instructors can dream up. The art of camouflage is also vitally important as SEALs regularly operate behind enemy lines.
This group of guys have come from all over the United States and Canada and paid between $1,500 and $3,000 to take course. All of them have one mission: to find out what it takes to be a Navy SEAL.
"Let's get 10 good ones (push-ups), all together, all the way up, all the way down," Shipley ordered.
If the push-ups weren't perfect, we had to start over. Log PT is designed to force the men to work as a team under very arduous conditions
The course isn't just about running and push-ups. We also learned some tactical skills like hand-to-hand combat and and how to transition silently from water to land.
Past the Breaking Point
In actual SEAL training, such exercises are designed to teach guys what they are capable of and push them beyond their physical limits.
That's why only about 20 percent of them actually make it to the end of SEAL training. The highlight of Hell Night is a simulated mission - the pay off for all the hard work. The guys must use all the skills learned throughout the day to complete the operation.
These weekend warriors get painted up, paddle down river under the cover of darkness, hike through dense forest - a small taste of what life must be like as a real Navy SEAL.
For them guys, this is better than spending vacation sitting on the beach. For them, the reward is knowing they challenged themsleves and made it through.
In the end, they'll be going back home with a little more self confidence, some incredible memeories, and a greater respect for the sacrifices made by our nation's special operators.

Mark Appel | RHP | Stanford
ANALYSIS: Houston has given no indication that it has narrowed its list, but all signs still point to Appel. He's from the area, he's polished, and he still has the most industry buzz to be the top pick.
Byron Buxton | OF | Appling County H.S. (Ga.)
ANALYSIS: There's a new contender in town for this pick and that's Carlos Correa. Of course, Minnesota has shown interest all along, but he's been gaining steam of late. Buxton still appears to be the man in this spot, but it's less certain now.
Mike Zunino | C | Florida
ANALYSIS: Like last year, the Mariners may make a pick that blows up most mock drafts out there. They could just as easily take Correa or Buxton in this spot. This one is far from decided.
Kyle Zimmer | RHP | San Francisco
ANALYSIS: Word is that Baltimore prefers Zimmer in this spot as long as he's healthy. Pitcher Kevin Gausman or one of the two high school position players, if they slip, are possibilities here as well.
Kevin Gausman | RHP | LSU
ANALYSIS: The industry consensus is that they will take the best college arm available here and in this scenario that's Gausman. Zunino slipping here would present them with an intriguing option, however.
Albert Almora | OF | Mater Academy (Fla.)
ANALYSIS: I have my doubts as to whether Chicago would indeed take Almora over Carlos Correa, and it could very well be that the Almora rumor is so strong because perhaps Chicago expects Correa will be gone.
Carlos Correa | SS | Puerto Rico Baseball Academy
ANALYSIS: Correa gets no further than this. Max Fried and Richie Shaffer are still on the table.
Deven Marrero | SS | Arizona State
ANALYSIS: This is the rumor that just refuses to be proven wrong. Unless Zunino presents himself at this pick, this is probably where Pittsburgh does indeed go.
Max Fried | LHP | Harvard-Westlake H.S. (Calif.)
ANALYSIS: They've been linked almost exclusively with prep names. I think they'd prefer the prep arm, Fried, over Courtney Hawkins or David Dahl.
Courtney Hawkins | OF | Carroll H.S. (Tex.)
ANALYSIS: The word in scouting circles is that Colorado prefers Hawkins to Dahl and the collegiate arms still on the board. This has been a strong rumor all spring.
Richie Shaffer | 3B | Clemson
ANALYSIS: Richie Shaffer could end up like Mikie Mahtook last year if he doesn't go in this spot. Oakland has a number of options here, including Lance McCullers.
David Dahl | OF | Oak Mountain H.S. (Ala.)
ANALYSIS: Dahl to the Mets has probably been the strongest rumor of the last few days. The Mets love the total package and seem to prefer him over most of the prep bats.
Michael Wacha | RHP | Texas A&M
ANALYSIS: All signs point to this pick being a college arm, and Wacha is the best one still on the board. Marcus Stroman, Andrew Heaney and Chris Stratton all fit here as well.
Andrew Heaney | LHP | Oklahoma State
ANALYSIS: There's an outside chance that this could be a spot for Marrero if he does slide. Heaney or Chris Stratton fit well into what the Reds are looking for though.
Chris Stratton | RHP | Mississippi State
ANALYSIS: There's an off-the-wall rumor out there that Miami catcher Peter O'Brien has a taker in the top 20 picks, and that that team may be Cleveland. I'll believe it when it when I see it, but it's something to keep in mind. Otherwise I think Stratton or Heaney fit neatly here.
Lance McCullers | RHP | Jesuit H.S. (Fla.)
ANALYSIS: Where McCullers fits has been hard to nail down, but again Washington seems like a logical fit. They are also in on Marcus Stroman and David Dahl.
Joey Gallo | 3B | Bishop Gorman H.S. (Nev.)
ANALYSIS: Gallo going in the top 20 picks is gaining steam and Toronto, as well as Oakland, is on him quite heavily. Names like Gavin Cecchini, Courtney Hawkins, and Addison Russell fit also.
Matt Smoral | LHP | Solon H.S. (Ohio.)
ANALYSIS: Most in the industry seem to be in agreement that Los Angeles will go with a prep arm. Ty Hensley has been a hot name here, but in the last couple days Smoral's has emerged as well.
Lucas Giolito | RHP | Harvard-Westlake H.S. (Calif.)
ANALYSIS: This could be the bombshell of the round. Recent rumors have one of the multiple-pick first-round clubs making a run at Giolito. The Cardinals may be the most enthusiastic about it.
Stephen Piscotty | 3B | Stanford
ANALYSIS: There's a lot of buzz that Piscotty is going to be their guy in this spot. Word is they are zoning in on college bats, and there are not a whole lot of options aside from Piscotty or Tyler Naquin here.
Tanner Rahier | SS | Palm Desert H.S. (Calif.)
ANALYSIS: Rahier and Smoral are the recurring names in the Braves' rumors. I wouldn't rule out powerful lefty bats like Joey Gallo or Stryker Trahan either.
Gavin Cecchini | SS | Barbe H.S. (La.)
ANALYSIS: Two teams have shown intense interest in Cecchini in the first round, and they are Toronto and St. Louis. One of those clubs may even take him with their first pick. It's unlikely he gets past this point.
Stryker Trahan | C | Acadiana H.S. (La.)
ANALYSIS: Some teams see Trahan in the first round and some don't. The Cardinals are one of the clubs that absolutely value him that high. And, the connection between the two just persists.
Addison Russell | SS | Pace H.S. (Fla.)
ANALYSIS: There are a lot of teams chomping at the bit to get Russell in the 20-30 range, and Boston is one of them. This could very well be his floor.
Ty Hensley | RHP | Santa Fe H.S. (Okla.)
ANALYSIS: The Rays haven't been linked to any one type of player in particular thus far. I just don't see them letting a high octane arm like Hensley slip beyond them.
Lewis Brinson | OF | Coral Springs H.S. (Ariz.)
ANALYSIS: Arizona apparently has a short list of players they covet and expect to be available. Brinson is near the top of that list.
Pierce Johnson | RHP | Missouri State
ANALYSIS: There are a couple prep names floating around for this spot, mainly position players. Brinson may be an option if he's still on the board. They've also been linked heavily to college arms and Johnson may be the best one remaining.
Lucas Sims | RHP | Brookwood H.S. (Ga.)
ANALYSIS: This isn't an easy one to project, as the Brewers seem to have a tremendous number of ways to go here. They've consistently scouted Sims, however, and he looks like a good fit.
Shane Watson | RHP | Lakewood H.S. (Calif.)
ANALYSIS: Texas continues to be linked with hard-throwing prep arms. Watson has been the one linked to them the most persistently in the last week.
Jose Orlando Berrios | RHP | Papa Juan XXIII (P.R.)
ANALYSIS: As I said a week ago, it seems probable that most of the prep bats the Yankees like will be gone. Lewis Brinson is a favorite in this spot if he gets that far. Otherwise, I think the Yankees go with the hard-throwing Berrios or another prep arm.
Marcus Stroman | RHP | Duke
ANALYSIS: At this position in the round it is wait-and-see mode for Boston. No one in the early part of the round seems to have Stroman as their top option. If he gets this far, he will fall no further.

Jewish spiritual, political leader dies
JERUSALEM -- Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the religious scholar and spiritual leader of Israel's Sephardic Jews, died Monday. He was 93.
Yosef was credited with transforming his downtrodden community of immigrants from North Africa and Arab nations and their descendants into a powerful force in Israeli politics.
He had suffered from a variety of medical ailments for several years and was hospitalized in recent days in critical condition after suffering kidney failure.
Officials at the Jerusalem hospital that treated him announced his death.
Yosef was often called the outstanding Sephardic rabbinical authority of the century. His prominence helped boost the confidence of his community, which makes up roughly half of Israel's population but was long impoverished and faced discrimination by Ashkenazi -- or European -- Jews who traditionally dominated Israel's government and religious institution.
Yosef parlayed his religious authority into political power, founding Shas, a party representing Sephardic Jews that became a kingmaker in several government coalitions.
As hospital officials announced his death, anguished cries could be heard from a large crowd of supporters that had gathered.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of life sciences company Cambrex (NYSE: CBM ) shot higher by as much as 16% following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings results.
So what: For the quarter, Cambrex reported a 4.8% increase in revenue to $69.9 million, as gross margin expanded 60 basis points to 30% thanks to a better product mix and higher volumes of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, being sold. Net income rose to $44.2 million from just $3 million in the year prior because of a huge one-time tax benefit. Adjusting for one-time costs, Cambrex earned $0.26, which is double what Wall Street had expected. Looking ahead, Cambrex anticipates sales growth of 8%-12% in 2013 and EBITDA growth of 8%-18% to a range of $62 million-$68 million. This would imply full-year revenue at a midpoint of $303 million, and EPS getting close to $1 -- perhaps $0.01 or $0.02 shy. The lone analyst estimate for 2013 is calling for only $298.1 million in sales and $0.95 in EPS.
Now what: This was another great quarter for Cambrex, even if you consider that foreign currency translations knocked 90 basis points off its top-line revenue results. Its APIs are important components for many generic pharmaceutical companies, and, with opinion growing for cheaper alternatives to branded drugs, there's no reason to believe Cambrex can't continue to grow. As with all generic drug makers, it'll contend with margin contraction as competition heats up, but at just 13 times this year's earnings, I feel it could march even higher.

Lena Horne reveres Billie Holiday, but this lady never had any use for the blues. "I am an emancipated woman who refuses to sing about some man walking out," says Horne, seated regally in her elegant, three-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Through a long, troubled but ultimately triumphant career in which her anthem was "Stormy "Weather," Horne has always seemed un-sinkable, commanding audiences with that dazzling, haughty beauty and a tigress's voice that could swell from a come-hither purr to a you-ain't-seen-nothin'-yet roar.
And if Horne didn't sing the blues in the '40s and-'50s—when she was glorified as a breakthrough black star even as she was punished by prejudice—the great-grandmother, just turning 81, is not about to start singing them now. On her new jazz album, Being Myself, she swings with easy confidence. The voice has lost some of its luster, "but it doesn't bother me if I don't sound nice and pretty," says Horne.
She has surrendered very little else to time. The face, with its proud mouth and strong cheekbones, remains remarkable. Yes, the corneas of both eyes have been replaced, her heart is on its second pacemaker ("They wear out like last year's automobiles") and her legs were a bit shaky when she received an honorary degree in May from Yale. Even so, says Horne, "most days I feel like I'm in my 50s." In the words of her friend, actor-director Ossie Davis: "A man would have to be dead not to be impressed by Lena Horne."
The great-granddaughter of a freed slave, she was born June 30, 1917, into a proudly professional, middle-class family in Brooklyn, N.Y. Much of her childhood was spent with her paternal grandfather, Edwin Horne, cofounder of the United Colored Democracy, a lobbying group, and his wife, Cora, who enrolled Horne in the NAACP at age 2. "She was a role model to me," says Horne, whose ancestry also includes traces of French, Jewish, Iberian and Native American blood.
Her parents split up when she was 3. Teddy Horne, she says, was "a street man, elegant and beautiful" (his best friend worked for gangster Dutch Schultz). Her mother, Edna, who dreamed of the stage, occasionally dragged Lena down South while she performed in black tent shows. "She came at a bad time," says Horne, "to have what she wanted."
With a proper grandmother who wanted her to be a teacher and a mother who craved stardom, Horne "was always torn between social activism and the show biz thing," says her only surviving child, Gail Lumet Buckley (now a 60-year-old mother of two, wife of journalist Kevin Buckley and the former wife of film director Sidney Lumet). Edna won the first round: After Lena's grandmother died, Edna persuaded the 16-year-old to quit school and join the chorus at Harlem's famous Cotton Club, where the dancing and singing classes Lena had taken as a "proper little prig" unexpectedly paid off. But at age 19, touring with an all-black band and anxious to escape the ever-meddling Edna, she says, "I ran away and got married."
Her husband, Louis Jones, 28, a friend of her father's, brought his bride home to a well-connected family in Pittsburgh, where he became interested in politics and expected Horne to play housewife. "I hated it!" she says. "I didn't know how to boil water." She was thrilled by the birth of her daughter—"I wanted a family," says Horne—but she and Jones broke up in 1940, around the time their son Teddy was born.
Horne headed back to New York City, taking little Gail with her. (Jones insisted on keeping Teddy. That loss—and Teddy's death of kidney disease at age 30, leaving three children—are subjects Horne still finds too painful to discuss.) She began wowing audiences at a hot, integrated club, Cafe Society She recorded with bandleader Artie Shaw, had a fling with boxer Joe Louis and sat at the knee of an early civil rights giant, actor-singer Paul Robeson. "He taught me about my people," says Horne.
When Horne took her act to L.A. in the early '40s, New York's black elite, including Duke Ellington, urged her to put her talent up on the big screen to enhance the image of blacks. When she was offered a contract by Louis B. Mayer, her father took the opportunity to meet the MGM boss. "The only Negroes I ever see are menials or Tarzan extras," Teddy Horne told Mayer. "I don't see what the movies have to offer my daughter. I can hire a maid for her. Why should she act one?"
She didn't. With her sultry beauty swathed in studio glamour (although at least one MGM makeup artist at first refused to work on her), Horne established herself as a luminous presence in two all-black 1943 musicals: Stormy Weather, in which she sang the title song that became her signature number, and Cabin in the Sky. She was profiled simultaneously in TIME, LIFE and Newsweek and became a wartime pinup for both black and white soldiers. But what began as studio packaging turned into shrink-wrap. In films such as Thousands Cheer and Till the Clouds Roll By, she was the sole black, relegated to torch songs in isolated guest spots that could be easily snipped out for distribution in the South.
Life was even cruder off the lot, where whites not only reflected the bigotry of the day but too often acted on it. "Mexicans and blacks got beat up," says Horne, who considered Ava Gardner one of her few friends. Because California law forbade interracial marriage, Horne went to Paris in 1947 to wed her second husband, MGM conductor-arranger Lennie Hayton. "I learned to love him," says Horne, but she admits she was first drawn to him for the boost he could give to her career: His musical advice was impeccable, and he was white.
But neither fact was of much use in the postwar Red Scare. Horne, blacklisted in the early '50s because of her association with the left-leaning Robeson and others, was shut out of Hollywood (she ultimately made only 16 movies) and forced to perform abroad. By the mid-'50s, she returned to nightclubs, singing with a startling, sexy toughness that made her a Vegas sensation. "Lena had this rebelliousness," says comedian Alan King, who often opened for her, "a sassiness." More like a slow burn for her token status. "There were no blacks in the audiences," says Horne, who once insisted on entering through the front doors of the then-whites-only Sands Hotel. "I was singing about airy-fairy crap."
With the civil rights movement, Horne took her angry presence—and the social consciousness instilled by her grandmother—to the cause. "I'm not a soapboxer," she says, "but I didn't want to be left out." In 1963 she marched on Washington, D.C. with Martin Luther King, and she performed at a rally for Medgar Evers shortly before his assassination. "Lena would fight like hell for black people," says Ossie Davis.
But in the early '70s, Horne—already devastated by the 1967 death of the man she considered her soul-mate, Duke Ellington's arranger-composer Billy Strayhorn—was overwhelmed by personal tragedy. In a single 18-month period she endured the deaths of Hayton (although they separated in the '60s, she was at his deathbed), her father and her son, Teddy. She retreated from view. "Lena takes longer than most people to go through things," says a close friend, Kitty D'Alessio, president of the lingerie company Natori. "But never underestimate her strength."
Indeed, when the 63-year-old Horne, eventually goaded back into showbiz by Alan King, strode onto the stage of Broadway's Nederlander Theater in 1981 with Lena: The Lady and Her Music, audiences saw a recharged powerhouse. The one-woman show, which won raves and a Tony, was more than a comeback—it marked the arrival of a mature artist on the level of an Ella Fitzgerald. "Growing older," says Horne, "seemed to make me blossom."
She has gradually trimmed her career back from that high point, last performing live at a 1997 birthday tribute in New York, but plans to record at least one more album. Nowadays, although she keeps up with music ("I like rap if I can understand what they're saying"), Horne prefers to relax at home. She loves reading, from Balzac to detective novels, but nothing delights her more than her five grandchildren and great-grandson, Jacob, 3. "When her own children were growing up, she was working," says her friend D'Alessio. "Being able to watch little things that she may have missed in her own kids has been a great experience."
And a deservedly mellow conclusion to one of the most impressive sagas in show business. "Oh, I've had it all," says Horne, bursting into raucous laughter. "A great life!"
