many of the colleges were working towards in the university of maryland and some of our other universityere working on getting games played but the big ten made a decision to cancel all fall sports just a few days ago we want the having or any other sports at the state and with this opening, not some of the schools not opening, also impacting nearly all of high school athletics because even the schools that are opening are able to play the ones that are. it's kind of a mess. again, some of the youth athletics programs are opening in a safeway and taking all kinds of precautions, but it's really individuals trying to make those decisions in a way that keeps all of the students and athletes and all staff and everybody is safe as possible. but i'd love to see some sports. if we can do it in a safe way. >> one of the things i think helped enable safe reopening is access to adequate testing. testing for covid-19, this is something you made a lot of news on earlier in the pandemic and you write about in your book. your decision to go out there and be proactive and procure testing from korea. m

another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with a lab everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. the oral eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate protection has made. that in unclear o

at the university of maryland, the student paper "the diamondback" goes a step further accusing the school of willful ignorance and bringing students back to campus because, quote, the school is overly reliant on housing revenue. in a statement the school says, we know some of our students rely on the college environment as a safe space for them to study and gain knowledge. all ofof it comes s amid yet anotheher cruel reminder of covid's deadly reach among children. in florida a 6-year-old girl has become the state's youngest covid death. this week from the cdc, a hopeful sign. a new study of daycare centers in rhode island shows schools that followed strict guidelines including mask mandates for adults were successful in curbing the spread. the cdc director robert redfield says it is evidence that when things are done with vigilance you can in fact reopen child care and not have significant secondary transmission. >> blayne, we're learning tonight of another school taking new steps to stop parties. >> reporter: that's right, jose. the university of alabama has temporarily suspended all st

academic positions king's college, cambridge, the institute of politics at harvard and the university of maryland. he is the author of two books on today's subject, atomic diplomacy, hiroshima and potsdam, and the decision to use the atomic bomb. he is currently a principal of the democracy collaborative in -- an independent research organization and finally we will hear from peter chris that, professor of history and director of the nuclear studies institute at american university. he is co-author of rethinking the atomic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki, japanese and american perspectives, and also co-author with oliver stone, of than york times bestseller, the untold history of the united states. and he is author of the decision to risk the future, harry truman, the atomic bomb, and the apocalyptic narrative. so let me explain the format for our program. our historians are going to speak first. when they have finished the presentations, we have seasoned journalists who oppose the first round of questions. then we will -- who will oppose the first round of questions, then we will open it up t

about 30 centers have begun recruitment efforts, including the university of maryland school of medicine. moderna is among several to reach a phase three trial, but the first to announce and distribute 300 million doses of a covid-19 vaccine. >>> while we wait for that vaccine, there is something that we can do to help. anybody who has fully recovered from the coronavirus can save lives simply by giving blood. joining us live now is dr. ross herren, the medical office we are the american red cross. doctor, thanks for joining us. how effective is the plasma in blood from recovered patients in helping to fight the virus? >> so the plasma after somebody has recovered from covid-19 has antibodies in it that can be at high levels. those antibodies can be quite effective at fighting off the virus in a newly infected individual who is very sick. there's been quite a few studies started. and each of the studies have shown that the plasma is quite effective at reducing symptom length and symptom severity. >> now, educate us here, because we know when you give a transfusion, we have to have matchi

jason my controls -- nichols from the university of maryland. it's great to see you both.ou know, my big question about last night and i'll take it to you, david. did republicans do enough to reach those people who might not be part of the base? did they do any crossover recruiting last night? >> yeah, they did, harris. you know, going from what we saw in the day the long and the drawn out nomination, of course, the acceptance, the numbers were reached. last night while they didn't achieve or couldn't achieve everything, it's only night one, they showed a broad swath. they had an appeal which i want to see. to americans outside of the base. the example of the people represented, nurse, business owner and businesswoman from montana. cuban refugee who became american success story. tim scott taking it through the progression of his life and challenges today. president trump coming in with a trucker, with nurses. a doctor. we rarely hear talk from survivors. there are millions who survived it. they started off well. they were live. not canned like the democrats were like much

we thought we would ask university of maryland economist, peter morici. articles coming out from academics, economists, so forth, from the medical field, from all different areas, suggesting while it was in the heat of moment probably the right thing to do, if we're ever faced with the same circumstances we were back in february, march, it would be huge mistake to shut down, lockdown the entire economy. your thoughts? >> well that's clear. by locking down the entire economy we stilted the education of many young people. it led to a lot of emotional problems. a lot of elderly simply died because of it and millions and millions of jobs, probably some 15 million jobs have been permanently destroyed. we haven't seen seen all the layoffs yet. i think it is folly to say i would listen to the scientists and say i would lock down the economy. apparently the computer is not working in the basement or internet is not coming in. this is coming over the transom in "the wall street journal" yesterday. joe, do you read? charles: he does, i think it is called, talking p

bring in university of maryland economist peter morici.at to see you, sir. >> nice to be with you, cheryl. cheryl: what do you make much this -- analysts, economists aring trying to buffer themselves, protect themselves. the news over all is better than expected. does that mean manufacturing is coming back in a meaningful way? >> i think it really is. so far we are focused on sectors of the economy that have shrunk that will not rebound completely like restaurants and airlines and so forth. 90% of the economy would be there in january that was there last year and going to be doing well and growing. that is why the market is doing so well. the reshoring taking place, rearranging of supply chains does benefit american manufacturing. kodak is going into the pharmaceutical business. when was the last time a individual entrepreneur, created an automobile company that wasn't really propped up by the government out of whole cloth? the answer is, in america, recently called tesla. that is an amazing story that has actually happened. my feeling is

at the lab for applied social science research at the university of maryland that's what we aim to dowe have a virtual reamity decision making lab where we bring police officers in. we help them to understand their biases. we help them to make better decisions and then we also get them with community members to talk through social interactions. so that what happened to jacob blake and others is something that we can hopefully get past so that when players are trying to go purchase a property, when they're trying to go to walgreen walgreen's, those type of incidents don't happen where they're tased by a police officer or shot and killed. >> it's hard to square what's transpired over the past four years if you think about colin kaepernick taking the knee and the heat that he received from the nfl and from owners and from fans and from obviously some politicians as well. and you fast forward to today. and i wonder what you make of the nba itself, really being a progressive entity in supporting these player's actions and how significant that is and the message it sends to fans and america

costa grew up in maryland and stayed close to home, earning his medical degree from the university of maryland'sat mercy medical. his colleagues describe him as selfless, caring and committed to his patients. in a statement from the hospital, it says he dedicated his life and career to caring for the sickest patients. when the global pandemic came down upon us, joe selflessly continued his work on the front lines. joseph costa, a critical care doctor who put his patients' needs own died last month of coronavirus, a month after he was diagnosed with covid-19. he was surrounded by his husband and nearly two dozen hospital colleagues and friends when he passed away. dr. joseph costa was 56 years old. and geico loves helping ri s getand current customersis giw a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. the geico giveback. helping riders focus on the road ahead. take an extra 15% off... the geico giveback. save on men's and women's denim! get under armour shoes for the family - $

the power panel joins us now, professor of african-american's studies at the university of maryland,the house g.o.p. campaign arm, jason, this should be concerning to biden's camp, is he inflaming divisions in the party, and do you biden allies have a reason to worry? >> i don't think so at all. it shows that joe biden is actually someone who is going to vet people who work for him, unlike president trump who has had 88% turnover for national security advisors. it is actually a good thing. we had 20 candidates for the nomination, and we chose and rallied around joe biden. the same thing will happen when he chooses whoever his vice president is. and i will say this, i think that the way "the washington post" and others are reporting this as a rivalry between black women is racist and sexist and it of itself. in the media needs to check itself, be patient, and this is an exciting time to be a democrat. >> julie: there is a new op-ed that says that biden is blowing the first consequential decision of his campaign, would you agree? >> i would. this has been a distraction. it is far messi

joining me now to discuss this university of maryland economist peter maurici.t was already shaping up to be very good. i felt it was being driven by millennials who by the way first time buyers is still strong but now investors are in this , the flight from major city, lumber prices at near all-time highs, the economics echosystem around housing alone is a very powerful thing and it's really working out isn't it? >> well absolutely. the two things to watch in the economy right now that separate us from the great recession and the financial crisis so the stock market and the housing market. that translates into very strong bernie sanderses for households, to support the recovery for about 80% of households. it's the other 10-15% that are left behind because their jobs have disappeared, small business closures things like that that we have to worry about, but 80% of the economies very strong, the s&p covers 80% of the economy, that's why we have a stock market boom. in june i predicted on a financial website that we were going to have a summer rally if we got a s

when he finally made it to the university of maryland medical center, it was deemed that he had three broken vertebrae and a crushed larynx and a crushed voicebox. and he never made it out of that coma. he never recovered from his injuries. he died a week later, and so he spent a coma trying to survive but eventually was not able to. and so that was the day that the world, first starting off with west baltimore and then eventually baltimore and then eventually the world, that was the day that the world would first learn of the name freddie gray. >> host: and from your book, "five days: the reckoning of an american city," you write: there were reasons freddie's death was different, that it so quickly turned boo a galvanizing moment ini stead of passing into painful silence like with others. portions of freddie gray's moments were caught on camera, capturing video of police encounters common place now, but 2015ie's death in coincided with the emergence of smartphones and social media as tools of citizen journalists. >> guest: and it was, it was one of these things where i think -- i tho

but he quit law, bored out of his wits within the year, and decided to pursue history and politics at the newly established johns hopkins university in baltimore, maryland. hopkins had been founded only a few years before with the goal of importing the german university model of combining teaching with high-level research to the united states. this was a novel model at the time for american colleges. wilson was a member of one of the first cohorts of americans to graduate in the united states with a phd, which he received in 1886 at the age of 30. by 1890 he landed back at princeton, and had launched a successful career as a public intellectual. he published a steady stream of books and essays on history and became a popular teacher and lecturer. in 1902, he was appointed president of princeton, and the decade of his presidency that followed is seen as a time when that university was transformed from something of a finishing school for southern gentlemen into a serious research university. now, i recount these biographical details because they're important to the task in this lecture. the task is to better understand the argument about the war and the p

maryland. the matter is howard university in washington d.c. they've been tweaking their congratulations i knew we had from now on because he's an assistant professor of political science at the university he says there is still not enough women of color in office. and i think it's really significant we've never had a woman at the top of the ticket to vote for like this i mean we've had their payroll of course but we've never seen i think a woman like senator conlon harris so absolutely i think this is as significant as a barack obama moment and hopefully you know she'll be able to parlay this into whatever her future political aspirations are. as a black woman in her forty's i've never had an opportunity to vote for a black woman for an office of this tight and that is very historic and i think when you look at black women and executives across the country see the the utter lack of that i mean there's never been a black woman governor of any state in this nation and that tells you how far we have to go when you can still count the number of black people who've been senators who've been governors on one hand now there's certainly a lot that happens at
