"She's going to be doing extended care," Dina Lohan said in Tuesday's editions of the Daily News. "It was her choice."

June 29, 2007 -- A 28-year veteran of the Nassau County Police Department is coming out of retirement to be the next commissioner of the 2,600-member force, County Executive Tom Suozzi announced yesterday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Schools across Florida got their grades Friday, and the report card was not good for Duval County and dozens of other school districts.
The Department of Education said the number of failing schools nearly quadrupled in 2007 while the number of schools that earned A or B grades fell more than 6 percent.
Four Jacksonville high schools were given F's in grades based largely on scores from their students' Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests: Forrest, Andrew Jackson, Raines and Ribault. For Ribault, this is the second F in a row and the fifth in the past six years.
About half of Florida's schools netted an A from the state but changes in the grading formula contributed to a four-fold increase in the number of failing schools statewide, according to school grade information released today.
The school grades are based on students' performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, given every spring. Schools are assessed letter grades from A to F.
