In an effort to accommodate the college student subset seeking treatment, we’re beginning to see more campuses support alcohol-free lifestyles. As of today, 20 colleges have collaborated to form the Association for Recovery in Higher Education and welcome sober students.

Program seeks to break isolation of poor, single mothers, and reduce infant deaths

Breaking the cycle of isolation for low-income, single mothers is just one benefit of an expanding social services program in Maryland, known as "Healthy Families America." The program dramatically changed the lives of two Baltimore City mothers, and has likely saved the lives of dozens of infants across the state.

Baltimore Sun to start charging for online content

The Baltimore Sun is putting up a paywall for its online content in two weeks, charging even print subscribers for stories and other features everyone has been getting for free for years. This raises some questions about what we should do about the Sun in our daily State Roundup.

Today's state roundup of news since Friday

Sides are gearing up for battle over 2012 same-sex marriage proposal; the trial of state Sen. Ulysses Currie starts; a number of bids come in for city, Rocky Gap slots; Holocaust survivors hope to take Maryland victory over French railroad company to Washington; Harris, Mikulski unite to help seafood industry; Prince George's delegate charged with stealing from campaign fund to pay for wedding; and the Baltimore Sun to throw up a paywall.
