<Title>Marjoleine Kars, History, on WAMU&#8217;s The Diane Rehm Show</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">A movie released last month tells the story of Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York who was kidnapped and sold into slavery.  “Twelve Years a Slave” powerfully depicts that slavery was driven by violence and examines its moral and economic costs. History Associate Professor and Chair Marjoleine Kars participated in a panel discussion about the movie Thursday on nationally-syndicated The Diane Rehm Show. During the discussion, Kars commented on the significance of the film and why it’s important in understanding slavery. “This culture of terror that it produces almost makes it almost impossible for people to …</div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Radishes: They’re not just for salad anymore. In fact, they may be useful for controlling runoff into the Chesapeake. Stuart Schwartz, senior scientist with UMBC’s Center for Urban Environmental Research and Education, spoke with Tim Wheeler, an environmental reporter for The Baltimore Sun, for Wheeler’s article, “Radishes get tryout as runoff fighters.” Wheeler writes: “City and most suburban soil is badly in need of aeration, Schwartz said. He and other researchers have found that even grass-covered ground, just below the surface, is often as dense and impermeable as concrete. Anything heavier than a light rain runs off, washing fertilizer, organic …</div>

<Title>Thomas Schaller, Political Science, Op-Ed in The Baltimore Sun</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">In his latest opinion column in The Baltimore Sun, Political Science Professor Thomas Schaller responds to an op-ed he wrote last month about the Western Maryland Initiative, an effort that calls for the state’s five western-most counties to secede from the state. Schaller suggests that if people in those counties dislike Maryland’s politics, a solution is to move to a neighboring state that better reflects their ideology: Among the blessings of our federal system are the variations across the 50 states. Conservatives usually champion these differences and states’ rights; indeed, they frequently employ the “vote with your feet” metaphor to encourage persons …</div>
