Baltimore -- Sheila Dixon became the first woman to occupy the mayor's office on Thursday, taking over the remainder of new Gov. Martin O'Malley's term and facing the challenges of a rising murder rate, a continuing ethics probe and a number of challengers for the seat.
The mother of two and aunt of former Maryland basketball star Juan Dixon, who now plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, is a longtime student of karate and former elementary school teacher with a master's degree in educational management.
