  6. Commentary: The 'end of the world' beliefs have sequels, which is a good thing

    Well, folks, we've done it. Fourteen days have passed since the world was supposed to end, and it just didn't happen. Glory be to the Mayan civilization that set us up, but, hey, it wasn't their fault if we missed the fact that all calendars come to an end &mdash; and then start up again. You know, like a second past every Dec. 31 midnight becomes Jan. 1.

  8. Three prime opportunities to view International Space Station ahead

    There are three prime opportunities to see the International Space Station fly over Baltimore over the next week. For those who saw its last pass-over in October, the show should be just as spectacular.

  11. Ranking agencies by job satisfaction

    Travelers gripe about having to remove shoes while going through airport security or undergoing full-body pat-downs. But imagine being the Transportation Security Administration screener who has to deal with thousands of grumpy passengers daily or must rummage through strangers' dirty underwear to look for items that could blow up a plane.
