	Defenders Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Defenders Day is a Maryland state holiday celebrated on September 12 each year, commemorating the successful defense of the city of Baltimore from an invading British force during the War of 1812.
		Commemorations of the day of the victory, centering on Stricker's stand north of the city, began in the years shortly after the War.
		It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that Defenders Day began to be widely celebrated in Maryland once again, mostly through the gaining popularity of reenactors, who brought new life to celebrations at Fort McHenry.

		In October 1992, the Dade County public defender office, arguing that crushing caseloads had rendered its lawyers unable to represent criminal defendants competently, filed petitions with four juvenile court judges to withdraw from 500 juvenile cases and to request that further juvenile case appointments be suspended.

	NR Feature Article January 26, 1998
		An emerging body of research suggests that children in full-time day care are less likely to be firmly attached to their parents and are on average more disobedient toward adults and more aggressive toward their peers than children cared for primarily by their parents.
		More time in day care was related to less sensitive mothering when the child was 6 months, more negative maternal interactions when the child was 15 months, and an increase in insensitive mothering at 36 months.
		As troubling as the immediate effects of day care on children are questions about the long-term effects of day care on families.

		My theory was that, given the harm day care does to some children and given the greed and selfishness demonstrated by some parents who do not have to send their children to these day-care pits, it was likely that rude and unruly children probably have some day-care experience in their background.
