We have liftoff! discusses Bowie State University's collaboration with NASA to establish a program dedicated to improvement in science and technology higher education. A twist of lime examines the revival of Western Maryland rivers through efforts of The Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies which uses limestone to sweeten once dead, overly acidic waters which resulted from acid mine drainage. Street law discuesses the revitalization of Baltimore's Park Heights neighborhood through collaboration between University of Maryland School of Law and residents as they use Maryland laws to force owners of vacant, rundown properties to make them habitable or relinquish them to homesteaders.
