POPSMeet the boy who won't stop growing Somehow -- experts still don't know why -- the middle of one of them broke off, flipped around and re-attached, disrupting a critical gene that controls growth. And that's what experts believe is causing Brenden's excessive growth and other symptoms and what makes his case the only one of its kind. "This gene is functioning despite the regulation that it shouldn't be," said Dr. Gad Kletter, Brenden's endocrinologist at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. "It's over-functioning. He was predicted to be over eight foot tall."

POPSThe Igneous Petrology of Ice Cream FTA-"It was hot out last weekend. Some of you might scoff at what I consider "hot", but the glorious thing about Seattle is that the entire city seems willing to join me in whining and wilting whenever the temperature breaks 80 (that's 25 of your Earth units). Naturally, I spent a lot of time thinking about ice cream."

POPSWhat the new taxes cost Seattle They do have a point - there is a growing riff between the social policy liberal Democratic Party and the Labor Union Democratic Party. It is hard to see why the two joined the same party except that the other major party was totally inhospitable to either of their agendas.

POPS20 of The Best Uses of Color in Current Web Design Many sites “play it safe” when choosing colors. Brilliant colors have to be carefully controlled to avoid looking amateur. I’ve selected these 20 sites for excellent use of color along with their overall web design. Quality of CSS, features, ease of use all come into play as well.

POPSInternet Design Flaw Makes Email Vulnerable, Too While some details leaked out early — security researchers accurately guessed parts of Kaminsky’s discovery — he was able to keep a few juicy bits secret until the talk. One of those was the susceptibility of many e-mail servers to the DNS vulnerability, an opening that gives criminals a way to plant themselves in the middle of the transmission from the sender to the recipient and redirect messages to their own servers, Kaminsky said. The result: criminals have a way not only to comb through the contents of those messages, but also to gain access to other password-protected Web sites the victims belong to. That’s because most sites have a feature that allows members to retrieve their passwords by e-mail if they’ve forgotten them. If a criminal has access to the account where that message is sent, he can then begin snooping on the contents of that account, from e-mail, to banking, to retailer sites.

Of course, we would never smoke, or get caught finger-licking the extra-crispy runoff from KFC, or tossing a foil wrap in the trash. Nearly every week brings news of another act of forced high-mindedness. Last week it was San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom with a plan to start inspecting people’s garbage, on the lookout to find someone who may have let a banana peel slip into the trash. Before that it was Seattle, which will soon charge people 20 cents a bag in the grocery checkout line. It’s not just us Left Coasters. New York has begun enforcing an ordinance that requires fast-food chains to post the caloric content of food on menus — in type as big as the menu item itself. How enticing: a fistful of calories on a bed of cholesterol, to go. Chicago, that city of deep-dish pizza and tailgate brats, has just been named the most meddlesome and restrictive in the country by the libertarian magazine Reason. Red states are more restrictive on sex and liquor; blue state prohibitionists te

POPSHello? New laws alone can't beat back risks of cell phone use Put a cell phone to your ear while driving and be prepared for a siren call -- from the police or paramedics. Keep your head down while walking and texting, texting, texting, text ... and oops ... "Emergency Room" may be your next subject line. And if you have kids, don't forget to keep worrying if electromagnetic radiation swirling from their ever-present cell phones will one day call up cancer cells. The risks of keeping in touch dominated health news the past week, leaving me feeling rather queasy. Facts and mandates on cell-phone use across the U.S. were catching up to the creeping, creepy feeling I've had about our societal disease -- call it 24/7 communicatosim. Emergency room docs reported an upsurge in people coming with injuries (and not just sore thumbs) from walking into, or falling into and over, various objects while walking and texting --- things like cars, curbs, signs, bicyclists, buildings and buses.

POPSMedia rip McCain ads: "Dishonest, disreputable, dishonorable" Followed by brief video mashup of David Gergen, Andrea Mitchell (who was present at the alleged dodge of troop visit), CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Chuck Hagel calling out McCain on falsehoods, along with Cindy's March claim that her husband will never resort to negative campaigning.

POPSDid You Remember The Bags? FINALLY, I've got enough canvas totes for any size trip to the grocery store. So, I feel I'm entitled to say BRAVO to Seattle for showing their city a little tough love... and, yet again, setting an example for the rest of the country. Will America EVER get a clue and catch up with the environmental pioneers? Now, if my husband and I could get into the habit of turning off the TV and computer at night... :(
