when i was in college, i went to the university of maryland college park. the daily paper , circulation of about 30,000, and i got really addicted to that. and that's what i wanted to do for the rest of my life. but when i went out into the real world, i found out i had a lot of doors closed in my face and i had to find another way. geof so what did you set out to accomplish when you wrote the first book? jeff: i just wanted to have my cartoons in print in some way. so i actually worked on diary of a wimpy kid, the first book for about eight or nine years before i showed it to anyone at all. and i had a 1300 page first draft. i then brought that out into the world. geoff: and how did you go about creating this world of middle schooler greg heffley? jeff: well, i was a bit of a wimpy kid when i was growing up. i actually was an average kid, but i had really wimpy moments, for example, when i was on the swim team. i used to hide out from the swim coach every single day in the locker room, and i'd get so cold sitting in that stall that i would wrap myself in t

robert percival is the director of the environmental law program at the university of maryland. he says the biden administration is changing its policy reluctantly. president biden had pledged during the campaign that he would stop growing on federal lands. it's proven to not be as simple as that though he issued such an order. when he also rejoined the paras climate agreement, that all the nations of the world have joy. but there was a lawsuit brought that said that federal law requires that the federal government periodically offered leases, and the court ruled that the law until it is changed requires that, that be done. what the by the administration announced yesterday was that they're going to offer a little bit of land, 80 percent less than previously had been scheduled to be offered. and that they were basing this on careful environmental impact assessment to minimize the damage to the environment. so of course climate change was so urgent that the irina stretcher would like for us to immediately reduce production of fossil fuels as much as possible. but that's proven to

large volumes of the freedman and southern society project, which is published out of the university of maryland where i did my phd but then the vast majority have never appeared in print about a hundred of them are from the national archives about 20 or from the library of congress and then a few are in newspapers that i was able to find. and what these letters do is they give us a very real picture of black life in the 19th century. so these are people who are struggling in slavery or in freedom or in that transition. they may be soldiers. they may be enslaved. they might be the family of soldiers and they have tried to they've got problems that they've got to deal with and they've tried to resolve them in various ways and they've gotten in many cases to the end of the line and they have nowhere left to turn and so they turn to lincoln and i think it's just really meaningful that they write to the president about what's going on in their daily lives because it shows that for the first time african americans believe that they have a president who cares about their welfare. they that that who re

the national institutes of health, the national institute of standards and technology, johns hopkins university, and the university of maryland. i've had many discussions with state government officials and leading scientists in maryland who have told me that one of the most sensible steps we can take to improve the sbir and sttr program is to make these programs permanent. the research sbir and sttr funds often continues for several years before producing a product ready to go to the market. researchers need to know that these programs will not disappear in the middle of year-long research projects. it is our responsibility to make sure that we act timely so that there is no lapse in these programs or reduced funding that is critically needed for these programs' success. any such action would be short sighted and would have a devastated impact on small businesses engaged in cutting-edge research nationwide. reducing the size of these programs or allowing them to lapse altogether would hinder efforts to restore production of critical products. i convened a hearing of the senate small business committee to examine the impacts
