  1. Will my baby keep his baby blues?

    I've always been fascinated by eye color, especially as it changes after a baby is born.
    The Baltimore Sun
    I've always been fascinated by eye color, especially as it changes after a baby is born. As happens with most caucasian babies, both my sons were born with blue eyes, but I haven't expected it to last -- my eyes are blue, but my husband's are brown. My...

  3. SpaceX rocket carries Maryland science project into space

    As the space capsule called Dragon hurtled toward the International Space Station at about 17,500 miles per hour on Friday, no space enthusiast was more enthralled than Paul Warren, a self-described "nerd" who attends Henry E. Lackey High School in Charles County.

  9. Ben Carson and the evolution-morality debate

    Almost 500 Emory University faculty and students have expressed their dismay that their commencement speaker on Monday does not toe the ideological line when it comes to evolutionary biology. Yes — gasp — the renowned Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson does not believe in evolutionary theory. Not only that, but biology professors at Emory and their supporters also accuse Dr. Carson of committing a thought crime because he allegedly "equates acceptance of evolution with a lack of ethics and morality."

  11. Born this way? Liberals and the pseudo-science of the conservative brain

    "They do that because they were born that way."
    "They do that because they were born that way." If you say that about homosexuals, you are tolerant and realistic. If you say it about blacks, you are racist (unless you're black yourself). If you say it about women, you may or may not be sexist,...

  15. Maurice Sendak's parents never knew he was gay

    It was pure coincidence that Maurice Sendak died on the same day that North Carolina voters approved an amendment to their state constitution banning gay marriage. And the same day that Joe Biden was in the hot seat for his comment over the weekend that...

  17. DNA: Why wait for an arrest?

    Swabbing the ol' buccal mucosa for the unique genetic code of someone merely arrested for a crime violates that someone's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. That's the opinion of the Maryland Court of Appeals, and this ruling has greatly upset police, prosecutors, editorialists and other citizens who see no sense to it. If the cops can take your fingerprints, why shouldn't they be allowed to collect your DNA?

  23. Huge lemon tree among Ellicott City man's rare plant emporium

    There's the 15-foot orange tree with its menacing 11/2-inch-long thorns, a bushy affair that sprouted from small seeds like those most of us just spit out. Nearby is a kiwi plant, its aggressive tendrils snaking vertically up a nearby tree. And then there's the ramrod-straight, 100-foot-tall sequoia that appears happily unaware that its natural home is in California.
