APPOINTED: President Obama picked former Clinton administration official Eric Goosby to head the State Department's Global AIDS Office. If confirmed, Goosby will succeed Mark Dybul, who spearheaded what many consider President Bush's most successful program, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Unlike Dybul, however, Goosby lacks a strong record of supporting abstinence education. Some experts fear Goosby, under pressure from liberal-leaning groups, may revert to former methods that were ineffective in preventing HIV infection in Africa's hyper-epidemic.

ELECTED: In what turned out to be a razor-thin victory, political newcomer and Democrat Scott Murphy, 39, beat out Republican James Tedisco, 58, to fill Kirsten Gillibrand's vacant New York congressional seat after she replaced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Senate. Murphy's seat, which was historically held by Republicans, will be a top GOP target in 2010.
