Proposed Md. congressional map could imperil Rep. Roscoe Bartlett

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Gov. Martin O’Malley’s redistricting panel released its recommendations for Maryland’s new congressional map Monday, offering a plan that could help Democrats add to their advantage in the state by imperiling the reelection hopes of Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett (R). The advisory committee was tasked with drawing a map that reflects the results of the 2010 Census, moving Marylanders across lines to ensure that the state’s eight districts have roughly equal populations. The map will be posted online Tuesday, when a seven-day comment period begins. O’Malley (D) can make adjustments before presenting it to the Democratic-controlled General Assembly, which must approve it. Read full article > >

Cherokees expel slaves’ descendants from tribe, cutting medical care, housing, other services

Friday, September 9th, 2011

TULSA, Okla. — One of the nation’s largest American Indian tribes has sent letters to about 2,800 descendants of slaves once owned by its members, revoking their citizenship and cutting their medical care, food stipends, low-income homeowners’ assistance and other services. The Cherokee Nation acted this week after its Supreme Court upheld the results of a 2007 special vote to amend the Cherokee constitution and remove the slaves’ descendants and other non-Indians from tribal rolls. The 300,000-member tribe is the biggest in Oklahoma, although many of its members live elsewhere. Read full article > >

HIV drugs sharply cut risk of transmission, study finds

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

AIDS researchers announced Thursday that a study conducted in nine countries has proved the long-standing hunch that HIV-infected people on treatment are much less likely to transmit the virus than people who aren’t taking the drugs. The study , which was stopped early because the results were so dramatic, found that men and women whose sexual partners were infected with the AIDS virus were almost completely protected if the partner took a combination of HIV-suppressing drugs. The study provides evidence — useful in American cities and African villages — that getting HIV-infected people on treatment early, long before they have symptoms, may be the best strategy for slowing the 30-year-old epidemic. The District has the highest infection rate of any American city, on a par with that of Rwanda. Read full article > >
