WATCH THIS IT’S ONLY A MINUTE AND TOTES ADORBZILLASIES.

Everyone who’s ever fretted about how to talk to a child about gay marriage — as though the basic concept is somehow infinitely more difficult to understand than straight marriage — should be required to watch this video, in which little dude Calen processes the realization that his uncles are “husband and husband.” In under a minute, Calen goes from, “What? Huh?” to “Ohhhhh” to “OK, bored with this now.”

On the Brink of Detecting Space-Time Distortions…

—

The universe’s smallest known binary, with by far the shortest known orbital period, has been confirmed by an international team of astronomers, and they likely hold the key to directly detecting space-time distortion for the first time ever. The two stars in the binary HM Cancri revolve around each other in a mere 5.4 minutes. (This means the entire system is no larger than a quarter of the distance from the Earth to the Moon.) HM Cancri was first noticed over a decade ago, but the orbital period seemed so ridiculously short that astronomers were reluctant to accept the possibility without solid proof. Turns out that our Universe is home to some pretty extreme systems.

The team of astronomers used the world’s largest telescope (the Keck telescope on Hawaii) to prove that the 5.4 minute period is indeed the binary period of the system by detecting the velocity variations in the spectral lines in the light of HM Cancri.

Team member Dr Gijs Nelemans of the Radboud University explains, “The system is also a big opportunity for general relativity. It must be one of the most copious emitters of gravitational waves. These distortions of space-time we hope to detect directly with the future LISA satellite, and HM Cancri will be a cornerstone system for this mission.”

Eric Massa's Navy Files

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:41:59 -0500

Eric Massa's Navy Files :

But in conversations yesterday and today with some of Massa’s Navy shipmates, it became clear that the behavior toward his subordinates that got Massa into trouble in Congress is part of pattern that dates to his time in the Navy.

According to Peter Clarke, a Navy shipmate, Massa was notorious for making unwanted advances toward subordinates. He tells the story of his friend Stuart Borsch, with whom Massa shared a hotel room while on leave during the first Gulf War. “Stuart’s at the edge of the bed,” Clarke says Borsch told him at the time, “and [Massa] starts massaging him. Massa said, ‘You’ll have to get one of my special massages.’ He called them ‘Massa Massages.’” Ron Moss, a Navy shipmate and Borsch’s roommate, confirmed that Borsch told him this story at the time.

Borsch, now a history professor at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, didn’t addresss that specific incident, but did confirm to me in an email that he was groped by Massa: “In 1990, aboard the U.S.S. Jouett, I was awakened when a senior officer, Lt. Commander Massa, seemed to be groping me. (I was a lieutenant at the time.) I believe he may have been drinking. I shouted at him and he left. I mentioned the incident to several other officers. I did not officially report it.”

Clarke says that Massa’s roommate, Tom Maxfield, was also assaulted. “Tom lived on upper bunk,” Clarke say. “When you’re on ship, you’re almost exhausted 24-7. So a lot of times you sleep with your uniform on. Tom and Massa shared a stateroom together. Massa climbed up on the top of his bunk, which is hard to do—you never crawl up on somebody else’s bunk. He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him.” Ron Moss also confirmed hearing this story from Maxfield. Maxfield did not return calls and messages left for him—I’ll update if he does.

Snorkel? Whaaaaaaaat?

Governor directs colleges to protect homosexuals

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:27:00 -0500

Governor directs colleges to protect homosexuals :

Gov. Bob McDonnell, former state attorney general, issued a statement today saying discrimination based on sexual orientation violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. constitution and directed all state agencies to “adopt a standard of conduct” consistent with that clause.

This contradicts a letter sent by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to the state’s public colleges and universities last week that directed them to rescind such protections from their policies.

The letter, dated March 4, argues that colleges and universities have no authority to protect the rights of gays, lesbians and other sexual minorities without an act of the General Assembly.

This is puzzling. Not only are two very conservative Republicans now seemingly at-odds with each other, but the Governor, who is the former Attorney General, cites the US Constitution as the reason for his decision. What he’s basically saying is that the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution usurps state policies concerning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation…

This is what a Regent University Law Degree gets you.

All-in-all, this is a step in the right direction compared to what we’ve seen coming out of Governor McDonnell’s office concerning LGBT issues.

“Charlie Crist seems to be obsessed with my back, but I’m worried about the trillions of dollars of debt we’re putting on our children’s backs. That’s what worries me.”

- Florida Republican Senate Candidate Marco Rubio

It seems like Charlie Christ is toast, and that’s not a tanning joke.
