...group is trying a variety of tactics. Gilchrist is running in a special election to fill a House seat that became available when Bush appointed Christopher Cox, who represented Gilchrist's district, to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Gilchrist decided to enter the race only three weeks before the October primary, in which 16 other candidates were running, he won 14.8% of the vote. That earned him a place in the runoff on Dec. 6 against Republican John Campbell...

Students, recent school leavers, those changing industries and mature people who have never worked, all come under the AES's watch. At different times of the day, Moree's AES resembles a cross-generational drop-in center.

The city's Obstetrics Hospital says it still has enough water for women giving birth, but that doctors are washing their hands with dirty, used water...
...Baltimore school system needed to try something new too. Each year administrators scramble to fill some 800 teacher vacancies. Statewide, Maryland requires 6,000 new teachers annually, but its colleges and universities produce just 2,500, and only the most altruistic of them choose to work in urban schools, where the challenges range from trying to raise low test scores to tending to students who are homeless or whose parents are on drugs. The No Child Left Behind Act, which requires schools to meet certain standards or risk losing federal funding, has intensified the need for good teachers in poor...
