A Weblog?
The column to the right, is a news/editorial/comment column. It is a weblog, also know as a blog.

The weblog thing comes from www.blogger.com, which offers us a convenient way to manage the posting, administratively. You don't really need to know all of that, but we have included this explanation so that you won't be confused by the term "blog".

Another important topic here is that since the column includes editorials and comments, you can be sure that we are just exercising our free speech rights as guaranteed by the Constitution and as not yet abridged by a reactionary opportunistic vocal minority.

opinions, everybody's got one...
If you would like your opinion published here, forward it for consideration and editorial review to: info@delawoffice.com.
Or add a comment. Comments by: YACCS

We encourage the exchange of responsible ideas.

delaware courts top harris poll

 

I'm not sure that many large Delaware companies would like the wording of an article from Forbes Magazine today, even though they might agree with the sentiment. The title of the piece is: US businesses prefer to be sued in Delaware -poll. The truth of the matter is that very few businesses prefer to be sued anywhere. But, if their attorneys' had their way, the first choice, for the second year in a row, appears to be Delaware.

The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform ranked Delaware as number one in the majority of categories in the second year of their poll run by Harris Interactive. Congratulations, Delaware Courts.

dancing in the first state

 

It looks like April is going to bring music to southern Delaware. The second annual Delaware Music Festival will feature 63 different acts over two days in Dewey Beach, Delaware, on April 11 and 12.

Then, later in the month brings Delaware its very first Blues Festival over a four day period, from April 24 through 27.

Speaking about art in Southern Delaware, make sure that you don't miss the dolphins in Rehoboth.

interstate communications during times of crisis

 

How prepared is your state in the event of an emergency that required cooperation throughout the state by police, firefighters, and emergency personnel? Stateline.org is reporting that only fourteen states have upgraded their communications equipment to allow for such coordination.

A joint venture between the Department of Treasury and the Justice Department, the National Interoperability Scorecard measures and reports upon such improvements over the past two years. Delaware was one of the fourteen states to manage this change. Of course, Delaware may be small enough to pull this feat off with string and paper cups (just kidding... the State's not that small).

critiquing filtering software

 

Delaware Law Office is not currently categorized by N2H2's web filtering software. Is your web site?

The ability to figure out how such software works, and to review a list of the sites it blocks is a criminal action under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

supreme court vacancy

 

The forerunners for the Delaware Supreme Court vacancy (due to the retirement from the bench of Justice Walsh), seem to be Vice Chancellor Jack B. Jacobs and Superior Court Resident Judge Richard R. Cooch. Time will tell.

high court upholds ban on cross burning

 

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued an opinion in which it tipped the balance scales in favor of a Virginia statutory ban on cross burning (when done to intimidate) at the expense of free speech rights.

A more thorough analysis is presented by Howard Basham at How Appealing, et. seq..

Ok.... then... what about flag burning?

shredding libraries

 

These days, when I go to the Library, I don't ask for help from the reference librarian.

I'm concerned about taking books out because I don't want to leave a paper trail.

I thought about trying to read books from a list I saw earlier this year of the 100 most significant books of the past century. I'm not sure that I will though. Some of them might not look too good on my permanent record.

Next time I go to the Library, I'm going to check to make sure my librarian has a shredder (NY Times link, free reg. req'd)
