Abstract:
There is a vibrant and diverse Jewish community in the North Carolina Triangle, but their culture is less apparent. According to interviews with several Jewish locals, the internalized oppression of being different makes you either strongly want to assimilate and be like everybody else, or makes people huddle and not trust anybody on the outside.

Abstract:
Over the course of a year, almost two million North Carolinians find themselves at risk of being unable to afford health care they need. The uninsured are disproportionately young, single, female and black. The state’s major response has been to participate in the federal Medicaid program, in which governments help underwrite medical care for the very poorest citizens.

The new law is based on an effort to prevent local governments from becoming too proactive, maintain Republican control of state government, and push against legal transgender equality.

Abstract:
The state of North Carolina is considering a change in its AIDS policy. A coalition led by Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner is intent on banning anonymous AIDS testing. The group wants to create a master list of individuals with the HIV virus to be shared among health care professionals. Opponents of the measure say that it would discourage individuals from seeking treatment and violate their right to privacy. Experts say anonymous testing is likely to end unless the community convinces legislators otherwise at the public hearings.
