In the opinion piece, Stehl and Berger decry the lack of adequate funding for mental illness treatment in the state. In a period of economic recession, state-funded health and human services are usually the first to undergo cuts. But it’s an especially relevant issue in Delaware, because the U.S. Department of Justice struck an agreement with the state to ensure it improves its mental health services for its indigent and poor residents who need mental health services. All of which is good. I’m ...

I’m not. That message was about updates in the Juana Villegas case, which I’ll post about separately later this week. In the meantime, here are some things that have caught my attention recently: New York City is going to make sure middle and high school students get at least a little sex ed as part of their health education classes. Good. Maternal mortality for Black women got a bit of attention at BET. The New York Times explores the issue of pregnancy reduction when there are twins/two fetuses. “Selective reduction” is pretty well accepted (but not uncontroversial) when there are many fetuses, but it apparently seems more complicated to som...

There are strange things afoot at the tiny Delaware law school, specifically to tenured professor Lawrence Connell, who also happens to be the adviser to the school's Federalist Society chapter.

TannerThis morning, in a column for National Review Online, I criticized a number of Democrats and Republicans who voted against Obamacare but had not signed a discharge petition that would force a floor vote on repealing the new health care law. One of the Republicans I singled out was Rep. Castle of Delaware, who is now seeking the GOP nomination for US Senate. This afternoon, Rep. Castle’s staff informed me that he intends to sign that petition as soon as he returns to Washington after the recess. That leaves five Republicans who have not signed.  For the record, they are: Mark Kirk of Illinois, Joseph Cao and Charles Boustany of Louisiana, David Reichert of Washington, and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.

The New Jersey E.P.A is performing tests on the oxygen levels of the water, but they still don’t know what caused tens of thousands of fish to wash up on the shores of Southern New Jersey on the Delaware Bay. And man, do these fish stink. Not even the seagulls want them. Those flying rats eat rotting garbage, so there must be something very wrong with the fish – aside from the fact that they’re dead. via The Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree Thousands of Dead Fish Wash Up on Jersey Shore (Not Even Seagulls Want Them) (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3861984 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:16:23 +0100 3861984 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3827322&cid=t_124517_136_f&fid=37852&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdonnatrussell.com%2F2010%2F08%2F05%2Fhbos-12th-and-delaware-where-pro-choice-and-pro-life-intersect%2F My new post on Politics Daily / Woman Up. HBO’s ’12th and Delaware’ — Where Pro-Choice and Pro-Life Intersect. Documentary "12th and Delaware" (2010) The title of the documentary, “12th and Delaware,” now showing on HBO, seemed lackluster until I understood its significance. Directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady [disclosure: Grady is the daughter of my Politics Daily colleagues Bonnie Goldstein and James Grady] the film tells the story of an abortion clinic that opened at 12th & Delaware in Fort Pierce, Fla. in 1991. Eight years later, a pro-life Pregnancy Care Center opened up directly across the street. Today, 12th and Delaware is where pro-life and pro-choice passions intersect.

Of course, the grading was subjective and will be disputed by lots of states that haven’t won. Well, haven’t won yet — there’s a second round to this, remember. So what do the victories for Delaware and Tennessee mean? The edu-pundits will no doubt be reading deep into the results over the coming days, trying to determine what they portend for the future of RttT, federal education policy generally, and politicians across the country.  And there are some juicy political leads worth following, including the possibility that the winning states were chosen because they have Republican congress members who could be pivotal in getting bipartisan support for the ...

Libertarians and other free-market advocates welcome tax competition as a way of restraining the greed of politicians. Governments have lowered tax rates in recent decades, for instance, because politicians are afraid that the geese that lay the golden eggs can fly across the border. But collectivists despise tax competition — for exactly the same reason. They want investors, entrepreneurs, and companies to passively serve as free vending machines, dispensing never-ending piles of money for politicians. So when a left-wing group puts together a ranking of the world’s “top secrecy jurisdictions” in hopes of undermining tax competition, proponents of individual freedom can use that list as a...

Rather, a paper route story. Paper routes used to be done by kids in the local neighborhood, back when newspapers were in their heyday and even a little state like Delaware could boast that its largest metropolitan newspaper (The Wilmington News Journal) had both a morning and evening edition.

Consider this a from the heart kind of post… my heart. I am sorry I have been non existent for a few days. We had a swimming tournament for our older two daughters at the beach on Saturday then in upper Delaware on Sunday, so no internet access for me. I have to admit though, it was a nice break. Well kind of nice… You know how it is with 3 little girls and traveling a total of 10 hours in the car over 2 days or so. Fun would not be the word I would use! But it is exciting to see our kids compete and participate in the same activities that we did growing up. God bless my parents. They also had 3 girls close in age and they religiously took us to all of our tournaments, games and practices for years with no complaints. Now I understand the sacrifice that t...
