The driver didn't stop and Radogno sought treatment for her injuries, before returning to her mother's home in @placeholder to recuperate and 'get her life back'.
By Lydia Warren A senator's daughter has passed away suddenly from a blood clot a month after she suffered injuries in a hit-and-run on Capitol Hill. Lisa Radogno, the daughter of Illinois Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno and herself a senate staffer in Washington, D.C., died from the blood clot in her lung in hospital on Wednesday. The 31-year-old had returned to work as an executive assistant in the office of Illinois Senator Mark Kirk following a hit-and-run on May 8, in which she suffered injuries to her wrist and knee. An autopsy will determine if the blood clot stemmed from the crash, but an aide for her mother said they believed the two incidents were connected. @highlight Lisa Radogno, who worked for Illinois Senator Mark Kirk, suffered an embolism due to the clot in her lung and passed away on Wednesday @highlight It came five weeks after she suffered knee and wrist injuries in a hit-and-run accident in Washington D.C. @highlight An aide to her mother, Illinois Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno, said the blood clot was a complication of the hit-and-run @highlight Police are still looking for the driver of the white Nissan that hit her

For @placeholder without a college degree, divorce remains high, marital quality is falling, and nonmarital childbearing is surging.
(CNN) -- Is anyone surprised that more than half of births to American women under 30 now occur outside of marriage? Or that marriage is losing ground in Middle America? What's the big deal? After all, some Americans believe that "marriage is just a piece of paper," while others think that fathers are no longer essential. Despite these worrisome statistics and views, the institution of marriage is not disappearing in American life. Marriage is certainly not in trouble for the privileged and powerful. Forget Kim Kardashian, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tiger Woods. In spite of the high-profile marital misbehavior of a few politicians, professional athletes and Hollywood starlets, marriage is actually growing stronger, in many respects, among educated and affluent Americans. @highlight More American women under 30 are having kids outside of marriage, research shows @highlight W.

According to the @placeholder, about 12,000 people die of dengue fever each year.
(CNN) -- Florida health officials say they've confirmed eight cases of dengue fever. Those infected have no history of recent international travel, the Florida Department of Health said Tuesday, "so exposure was likely from local mosquitoes." The cases were reported in two southeastern Florida counties: Martin and Miami-Dade. Dengue acquired from local mosquitoes is rare in the United States, Florida health officials said, urging residents to take steps such as wearing repellent to protect against mosquito-borne illnesses. Dengue fever is passed from person to person by mosquitoes. Unlike malaria, there are no drugs to prevent it. It also is difficult to treat and thus far, attempts to develop a vaccine have been unsuccessful. @highlight Health officials say local mosquitoes in Florida spread the disease @highlight Eight dengue cases have been reported in two Florida counties @highlight Dengue rarely occurs in the United States @highlight There are up to 100 million infections annually worldwide, the WHO says

However, none of the moderate Republicans who in the past have voted with @placeholder crossed the aisle this time.
Washington (CNN) -- In a graphic example of election-year politics at work, a defense bill that would repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy got blocked Tuesday in the U.S. Senate by a Republican-led filibuster. The bill stalled on a 56-43 vote, four short of the 60 votes needed to overcome the Republican opposition. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, changed his vote to "no" as a tactical move, allowing him to bring the measure up later. Reid and other Democrats accused Republicans of stalling the National Defense Authorization Act, which traditionally passes with bipartisan support, to undermine the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal and an immigration provision offering a path to citizenship for students and soldiers who are children of illegal immigrants. @highlight NEW: McCain accuses Democrats of cynical stance on defense bill @highlight NEW: Durbin says Republicans wanted to kill immigration provision @highlight Defense bill that would repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" military policy is blocked @highlight White House disappointed but says "we'll keep trying"
