so to compete, delaware legalized sports betting and recently approved 'online gambling'.... some lawmakers complain that even if maryland approves this expanded gaming measure, the state will still be behind its neighbors. (15:42:14) "you can get a delaware phonn number and sit home in your pajamas and invite all your friends over, have a pizza party and gamble have to go to the maryland casinos and play the delaware slots online." even though state officials say baltimores proposed expansion will generate millions in revenue.... some experts predict the longterm costs could be far greater. jeff abell, fox 45, news at 5:30... numbers released this week show hundreds of baltimore city employees making tens of thousands of dollars in overtim. overtime.they're the salaries for more than 16 thousand city employees for the fiscal yeaa ending in june.what's surprising is how muchhsome are making in salary plus overtime and reimbursements. one police lieutenant's gross pay was an extra 73 ttousand dollars. for another police officer it's an extra 89 thousand. and a transportation a

they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built up by gravity from the mountains pushes the water upwards toward the surface through vertical shaf

there are some rain showers and thunderstorms along the delaware beach and threw out parts of delaware bay -- throughout parts of delaware bay. even in the potomac highlands the cold front drops in. later this evening, we cannot rule out some isolated showers here and there. notice the band of clouds and rain off to our west to pretty easy to find that on the satellite-radar composite -- to our west. pretty easy to find that on the satellite-radar composite. a nice little break from the humidity midweek. wednesday, low humidity, a little bit cooler. very pleasant conditions. dry and sunday wednesday -- dry and sunny wednesday through friday. here is isaac. you can see the rotation. still just a tropical storm but it should soon turn into a category one hurricane. probably by the national -- by the next update by the national hurricane center. it should remain a category one storm as it moves through the northwest -- moves northwest. the tropical storm and force of the -- storm force of the wind will extend out. the leftovers of this system will be in the midsection of the country by sa

the state of delaware got hooked on the cash from legal gaming years ago. they took in $250 million in 2011. but their revenues are plummeting lately. why? maryland and pennsylvania had jumped on the gravy train with their casinos. now, i can only imagine sometime back officials in delaware were about like prince georges executive, baker, for example, excited, at the thought of millions of dollars painlessly flowing into local wallets of gamblers. but like gambling itself, that money is addictive. delaware is just desperate enough to up the anti, to internet gambling. think about it. remember when maryland was going to have a few slot machines at the racetrack and now we're looking at table games and yup, even internet gambling? all of this to keep up with delaware, which is keeping up with pennsylvania, west virginia, who are all keeping up with atlantic city. let's be real, i like a good hand of blackjack as well as the next guy, this feels like a race to the bottom and if so, the only question left is, what do we get if we win? anita. >> thank you, derek

delaware has the fastest internet connection sseed. according to the latest survey by internet provider akamai, deeaware had an average connection speee of 10-point-2 megabits per second. if you were expecting new york or california, home to silicon valley, to top the list, then the winner was probably a surprise. but akamai says delaware has always been a strong performer. some of that has to do with its size... delaware is the second-smallest state in the country, which makes it easier to bring higher speed connectivity to most of the population. runner-ups were new hampshire, vermont, utah, and rhode island. the slowest internet connection is found in arkansas. the good news is things are speeding up across the board. the average internet speed in all 50 states has increased since the end of last year. that's thanks to continued investment being made by both telecoms and the government. but even though the internet is getting faster, it still may not feel like it. that's because we're using more and more technology. with tablets, la

there are several efforts underway in the delaware. they begin to address the competitiveness challenge. release starts with the recognition. at least the belief and my partner that what we have been doing in our country of the last many years as the academic equivalent of having our kids learn to play basketball by shooting at an 8 foot basket. can get very good shooting at an 8 foot basket. but the problem is, when you get into a game and you are playing against students with a regulation basket which is 10 feet. every state is required under federal law to administer a state standardized test. these tests to not have to do anything to do with each other from one stage to the next. they do not have to measure the same things, use the same measurement scale. so what we end up with as a result is something that -- every kid is above average. and the fact is, if we look a the result of the state tests and compare them to the national -- the nation's report card, or the international test, the results on state tests tend to be higher. yo
