RITES wins BE award:
RITES Ltd., a multidisciplinary consultancy in the fields of transport, infrastructure, and related technologies, has won a BE Award for its detailed engineering study for the Kashmir Railway project in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The award category was "Civil: Rail Design."
The $2.5 billion Kashmir Railway project will connect the state of Jammu and Kashmir with the Indian Railway and provide an important link to the rest of India. Among the project route's many design and construction challenges is a 142-kilometer stretch of rugged, mountainous terrain that will require the construction of 118 bridges and 65 tunnels.
By helping RITES develop alternative routes, establish their feasibility, and optimize them, Bentley MXRAIL and its 3D visualizations have saved millions of dollars in construction costs as well as substantial time. For example, on one 12-kilometer section of railway, use of Bentley MXRAIL saved almost $13 million and shortened the construction time by six months.

Last week, The SVO team had the opportunity to hear from and speak with Marshall Tuck, Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, and Senator Ben Allen.
Tuck and Assemblymember Thurmond are two candidates for State Superintendent and Senator Allen is the chair of the Senate Education Committee.
All three spoke about the importance of Career Technical Education (CTE) and from their remarks it's clear that the Choose Children Campaign is having an impact since they all spoke about the need to expand preschool and early care and education.
These two issues will be the important policies to advocate for this year. CTE funding shows up in two places:
In addition to advocating for funding, an equally important aspect of a proactive advocacy strategy will be influencing where this money lands. Workforce intermediaries have not been eligible to directly receive funds in previous rounds of CTE funding. The vital role of workforce intermediaries in connecting industry and education needs to be communicated to policy makers.

By Trisha Van Stensel • From our May/June 2012 newsletter
Elizabeth Styffe, the director of Saddleback's HIV/AIDS Initiative, was in Malawi. Standing in a cold, dark, and damp hut that was no bigger than four feet be six feet, she looked down at the three youngsters who lived there. The children's faces were expressionless, evidencing no emotion whatsoever. She asked her interpreter where their mother was. "They have no parents," was the reply. "Who will put them to bed tonight? Who will feed them in the morning?" she asked. "No one."
A girl who'd grown up in the U.S. foster system was nearing the end of high school. Less than half of foster youth graduate, but she'd overcome the odds and earned her diploma. As graduation approached, however, she expressed no desire to walk the stage. Encouraged, cajoled, and finally begged by her social worker, she refused again and again. Finally, she confessed, "I don't want to go because I'll be the only one up there with no one in the audience to clap for me."
From the other side of the world to the other side of the tracks, the needs of the fatherless are vast. Latest estimates put the number of orphans globally at 163 million. All of these children have lost a mother or father; about 10 percent have lost both. In the United States, roughly 425,000 children live in the foster system at any given time, with about 115,000 currently waiting to be adopted. -Daniel J. Bennett, "A Passion for the Fatherless"
I write these stories not to give you a guilt trip, but to open your eyes to the cry of the orphan…to those who God has called us to defend (Psalm 82:3). Ever since our adoption of Sienna in April 2011, God has laid the idea of an orphan care ministry at RRC on my heart. Every child has a right to a family, and during the months of May and June, when we celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day, what better time to begin this ministry?
Some of you have been called to adopt, whether through domestic, international, embryo, or foster care. Some have been called to support in other ways, whether it be financially, emotionally, or through prayer. But we have ALL been called to defend, love, and protect the orphan!
In the following months we will be working on building a section on the church website which will include information on adoption, foster care, and orphan care (the differences between domestic and international adoption, financing adoption, Orphan Sunday, etc). Along with that we would like to create a support group for those who either have adopted in the past, are in the process of adopting, or who may be just beginning to think about where God is leading them.
Remember the children from the first story? Imagine making a difference in the lives of just one of them. You can. You just have to say yes to God's leading. I look forward to walking on this journey with many of you.
Please contact Trisha Van Stensel if you are interested in either joining the support group or joining our "Hearts for Orphans" team.

Halloween night Party, one word awsome
Halloween night was awesome. My costume was great, I was Wonder Woman. It took some work but it was so worth it. I went to a party at Cassandra and Peggy's house. They were so great to throw a Halloween party for all us T-girls. Peggy did a great job decorating their house, you two rock. On the way there I did stop at Albertson's and picked up my veggie trays because I wanted to go shopping in my costume even if only for a few minutes. It was so fun. The party was just getting started when I got there so we started to take pictures, I favorite thing to do for t-girls. I have posted some on my flickr page. Maya and Bev even showed up which was so nice. They are so much fun.
Several of the t-girls even brought their wives and girlfriend with them. It is so nice to know that there are woman out there that not only tolerate but except and support cross-dressing. To all you ladies you are awesome and I can only hope I can be so lucky. It was nice to get to talk to everyone and get to know them better. Our group has gotten so big there are t-girls I haven't met yet, or just barley know. My goal is to meet them all and get to know each and every one of them. Even Peggy's friend Julie showed up in a cute fire fighter costume. It was nice to see her again and I got a chance to talk to her for a while. There were a lot of good and cute costumes there. I got second place in the costume contest which was so fun. Later on the bar tender gave out 4 garter belts to the cutes girls there and I was one of the lucky ladies along with Julie, Peggy and Brenda.
I had a great time and even got to meet Candy, a new member of our group. She is really nice and pretty and we seem to be a lot alike. We share a lot of the same feelings about dressing and why we do it. She is married and only came out to her wife a few weeks ago and yet her wife also seems to be okay with her dressing. I look forward to getting to know her better and maybe even meet her wife some night if she comes out with her. It was such a fun time and I lost track of how many people were there but I bet it was at least 50 or more.
I am so lucky to have found such good friends. You Are all so awesome and make it so much fun to be Susan and go out.
Thanks again Peggy and Cassandra for opening your house up to us for a wonderful party. You are the best.

As with anything, the profile of the average homebuyer changes over time. Tastes shift, technology influences commuting patterns and neighborhoods gentrify and transform. Today's new wave of homebuyers – late Gen Xers and millennials – have vastly different tastes from their parents, though millennial tastes line up with those of the baby boomers. We see divisions like this all the time – it's part of what makes our job interesting.
What does this mean for real estate? Well, the value of homes are shifting with tastes. Some homes that may have been hot ten years ago have cooled a bit, while, for example interest in city/village center living has had a renaissance, and, as such, prices have followed.
We've assembled a list of the four things that we're seeing today's buyer asking for on Cape Cod!
Location, Location, Location
This one hasn't changed. Location is still king – and probably always will be. Homebuyers are willing to give up significant amounts of square footage, and will budge on some other amenities, so long as the home has their desired location. Whether this means it's close to a beach or walking distance from the local Mexican bistro is up to the buyer. Buyers of second homes are looking to stay close to the beach or other area attractions, while first time and millennial buyers want to be closer to town centers.
"Live-In" or "Showcase" Kitchens
Thanks to relatively recent innovations like the Food Network and the internet, home cooking is experiencing a renaissance. People are going back to the kitchen, and the focal point of the home is slowly moving away from the family room to the kitchen island. Even on the lower end of the market, we're seeing increased demand for granite countertops, stainless steel/modern appliances, and anything but linoleum flooring. Kitchen islands are popping up everywhere – the vast majority of homeowners want one in their kitchen. Even in the $200,000-$300,000 price range, updated or gourmet kitchens are becoming a must-have. They're expanding in size as well as in features – include a breakfast nook in your kitchen and your home will be ready to sell at any time.
Proximity to Village Centers
Younger homebuyers are looking to stay close to town centers. Thanks in part to increased environmental awareness, coupled with an experience largely growing up in the suburbs, younger homebuyers are looking to stay walking or biking distance from their chosen town's amenities. Condo complexes like Deer Crossing and a few scattered developments along Route 28 in Falmouth have seen renewed interest from younger homebuyers. Interestingly enough, younger baby boomers are also moving back into town, meaning that the oldest and the youngest buyers on the market are duking it out for a very limited housing stock, especially here on Cape Cod. The result? In areas like Falmouth Village, prices are climbing, and this spring is shaping up to be a seller's market in these neighborhoods.
Open Floor Plans
You hear it so much on house hunt and renovation shows that it's become something of a cliche, but it's a cliche because it's true. Today's homebuyers are looking for open floor plans, not cluttered, confused and closed off. We're finding this to be true in the "heart" of the market, in homes ranging from $350,000 to $1,500,000. There's a good reason for it down here too – we're always playing host to hordes of family and friends, and they need space to spread out. Technology has played a huge role in this – gone are the oversized televisions and TV cabinets, in are wall mounts, built-ins and other amenities that maximize floor space. This trend has held on for almost 10 years now, and it shows no signs of slowing.

Rep. Tom Price, M.D. (R-Ga.) was chosen by President-Elect Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). A six-term Congressman and former Georgia state Senator, Dr. Price was an orthopedic surgeon for 20 years before he went into politics and is the third generation of physicians in his family.
Dr. Price would be the first physician to serve as the nation's top health official since President George H.W. Bush appointed Louis W. Sullivan, M.D., in 1989 and only the third doctor to serve as secretary of the department in its 63-year history.
Dr. Price, age 62, has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 12 years and became the chairman of the House Budget Committee in 2015. He's one of 18 members in the House GOP Doctors Caucus and has been an outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In fact, Dr. Price proposed one of the first – and most detailed – replacement proposals in 2009, which included age-adjusted tax credits to help buy insurance and increased reliance on health savings accounts. It also would have allowed interstate insurance sales.
Dr. Price has supported converting Medicaid into block grants to states, which would give more latitude from federal requirements about eligibility rules and the medical services that must be covered for low-income Americans. He has also favored switching Medicare from a "defined benefit" to a "defined contribution" to give older or disabled Americans financial vouchers to buy private health insurance.
An original Tea Party Caucus member and former chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, Dr. Price is self-described as "devoted to limited government and lower spending." His voting record on women's health, LGBTQ and some ACA-related issues often runs counter to California Medical Association (CMA) policies, but CMA stands ready to work with Dr. Price to ensure that everyone has access to health care.
Dr. Price's 20 years in medicine have also provided a unique perspective and credibility in understanding how health care legislation impacts the practice of medicine. To that end, Dr. Price has championed limiting medical malpractice lawsuits and easing Medicare regulations, particularly on the use of electronic health records. He has fought to protect the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship. He also seems keenly aware of how important it is to ensure that physicians have a seat at the health care policy-making table. CMA is eager to work with Dr. Price to provide relief for physicians from the Medicare regulatory morass.
CMA has a proven track record of working on both sides of the aisle to protect the practice of medicine – thanks in large part to the strength and diversity of our membership. Despite the many changes coming to the national scene, CMA remains focused on improving California's health care system, protecting Medicaid and Medicare funding and providing patients access to high-quality and affordable care.

I know that a lot of people wonder why a person is so open online. Also when I mean open I mean being open about their feeling, their experiences, and also just anything else you can think of. Sometimes people are comfortable with being open and I can understand that. The reason being because they may not know the people that they speak with online or they want to use their time online not focusing on what is going on in their personal lives.
For me I understand both aspects. Sometimes I enjoy being more open online especially if I feel like it would help others. Like giving them encouragement or making them feel like they aren't alone. I do this because I know of many others online who were open and it helped me a lot.
But I understand the other aspects since I don't always know the people who respond back and I want to keep some parts of myself private.
So what do you guys feel about this? Do you prefer to be more open online or do you like keeping personal things a little bit more secretive? Comment down below and let me know.

Internal & External Communications
Internal communications
A healthy dialogue with staff is crucial for competitiveness.
An employee or a customer who feels good and enjoys the relationship with an employer or a company, is more likely to repeat the behaviour which translates to product or service sales, as well as in the process, enhances the continued viability of the company. We will help you to develop internal communications strategies to help connect employees with your business strategy.
External communications
Companies and organisations that practice good external communication are very likely to practice good internal communication.
External communication focuses on audiences outside the organisation. The target audiences are consumers, investors, regulatory bodies, and others. News releases; fact sheets; press kits; newsletters; company magazines; brochures; and annual reports, are just some of the tactics we could employ. We will help you to create as many linkages as possible between specific organisational activities and long-term effectiveness.

Copenhagen Zoo Kills Healthy two-year old Giraffe
The News
Worldwide outrage didn't stop the Copenhagen Zoo from killing a healthy baby giraffe named Marius "to prevent inbreeding." Citing animal welfare and inbreeding concerns, the zoo also refused to send Marius to one of the other zoos that volunteered to take him. According to CNN, the giraffe was killed with a rifle and "dismembered in front of an audience that included children and fed to the zoo's lions, tigers and leopards." The Copehagen Zoo described Marius' death as "euthanasia," which is defined as "the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma." But Marius was healthy. He should never have been shot in the head with a rifle.
News & Opinion
Wild animals belong in the wild, not in zoos behind bars or in enclosures. The "conservation" and "education" claims used by zoos are inaccurate, but, even if true, they wouldn't justify the lifetime imprisonment of animals. Please encourage people in your network to boycott the zoo and learn about how wild animals really live by observing them in the wild or by watching wildlife documentaries on TV.

Excellent research across borders
On January 25th, 2018, Chemnitz University researcher Anne-Coralie Bonnaire received a Jury's Prize from the Franco-German University and the Robert Bosch Foundation for her binational doctoral thesis
International award for Chemnitz University scientist: Anne-Coralie Bonnaire, scientific researcher in the "Academic integration" project of the Junior Professorship for Intercultural Competence (Junior Professor Gala Rebane), received an honorary award from the Franco-German University (FGU) for her comparative doctoral thesis on January 25th, 2018. The award was donated by the Robert Bosch Foundation and presented in the residence of the German ambassador in Paris. A total of ten excellence awards endowed with 1.500 euros, three doctoral thesis awards endowed with 4.500 euros, and an "Honorary Award of the Jury" for PhDs, endowed with 500 euros, were presented. Funding for these awards comes from a variety of industries.
In her research, the communication and media scientist deals with "L'image de l'Europe dans les télévisions régionales" or "The EU Image in Regional Television News Programmes", focusing on the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Central German Broadcasting, MDR) in Germany and the French broadcaster France 3 Nord-Pas-de-Calais and France 3 Picardie. "Throughout my entire academic career I have studied across European borders and I also see myself as being European more than anything else. Thus, it was obvious that I would work in a comparative way in the frame of a binational research and doctoral thesis", explains Bonnaire of her motivation.
The Chemnitz University researcher wrote her doctoral thesis as a French-German binational cooperation, a so-called "Cotutelle de thèse". Bonnaire was supervised in her research work by Leipzig Prof. Rüdiger Steinmetz and by Gilles Rouet from Université Paris Descartes/Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. "I see this award as an appreciation of my work and an affirmation of my scientific evolution. I hope my work and the award will encourage future young scientists in Chemnitz to follow this international path", says the Chemnitz University communication and media scientist.
Background: ESF project "Academic integration"
Since May 2016, Anne-Coralie Bonnaire is an academic staff member of the project "Academic Integration of International Students" funded by the European Social Fund (ESF). The ESF project is conducted by the Junior Professorship for Intercultural Competence, aiming at a closer cooperation and a broad range of study-related offers for and in response to the increasing number of international students at Chemnitz University. Bonnaire and her colleagues work to ensure academic success of international students and enhance their awareness of the academic culture at the university, thus increasing the attractiveness of Chemnitz University as a research and knowledge center and enriching the academic life at the university. Language, organization, and scientific cultures are explored and better understood through intercultural workshops for students and teachers, with the goal of taking down possible barriers to learning. "I have always carried the challenges and questions of an international student with me, thus this project is a matter close to my heart", said Bonnaire about the integration project at Chemnitz University.

Marine Iguanas
"The black Lava rocks on the beach are frequented by large (2–3 ft [60–90 cm]), disgusting clumsy Lizards. They are as black as the porous rocks over which they crawl & seek their prey from the Sea. I call them 'imps of darkness'. They assuredly well become the land they inhabit"
Charles Darwin – Beagle Diary
Marine Iguana
Marine iguanas are found on many of the islands in the Galapagos. There are 7 subspecies.
They vary in size from 60 to 150cm and can be distinguished from land iguanas by their flatter, squarer noses, adapted for feeding on algae, and the thinner, laterally flat tail used for swimming. They are the only marine lizard in the world. The adult male body colour varies according to subspecies but all have a row of long spines from the head, along the neck, back and tail. Females, smaller, have shorter spines and are darker in colour. Marine iguanas are most often seen by the shore but are also found in marshes and mangrove beaches. They are less shy than land iguanas.
They have several adaptations to their marine lifestyle. They use their sharp teeth to scrape algae off rocks and their long claws to cling on to rocks both underwater and on shore. They can spend up to an hour beneath the surface of the water, though 5 to 10 minutes is more usual. They use their strong, flat tails to propel them through the water. On shore they often climb trees and cacti to bask in the sun, warming their bodies after spending time in the cold water. They have special nasal glands that clean their blood of extra salt which they take in when they eat.
They are territorial, especially in the mating season, with the male defending not just his territory but also his females. When angry the male shakes his head rapidly up and down and exhales loudly. Females dig burrows and lay between 1 and 6 eggs, which incubate for up to 120 days. Upon hatching the infants run to the nearest cover. Males take about 8 years to reach full maturity while females become sexually mature between 3 and 5 years.

It's ironic that at least in this one small way, schizophrenics have a firmer grasp on reality than the rest of us.
Schizophrenia sufferers aren't fooled by an optical illusion known as the "hollow mask" that the rest of us fall for because connections between the sensory and conceptual areas of their brains might be on the fritz.
In the hollow mask illusion, viewers perceive a concave face (like the back side of a hollow mask) as a normal convex face. The illusion exploits our brain's strategy for making sense of the visual world: uniting what it actually sees — known as bottom-up processing — with what it expects to see based on prior experience — known as top-down processing.
This powerful expectation overrides visual cues, like shadows and depth information, that indicate anything to the contrary.
But patients with schizophrenia are undeterred by implausibility: They see the hollow face for what it is…. Some psychologists believe [their] dissociation from reality may result from an imbalance between bottom-up and top-down processing — a hypothesis ripe for testing using the hollow mask illusion.
When healthy subjects looked at the concave faces, connections strengthened between the frontoparietal network, which is involved in top-down processing, and the visual areas of the brain that receive information from the eyes. In patients with schizophrenia, no such strengthening occurred.
Dima thinks when healthy subjects see the illusion, which is somewhat ambiguous, their brains strengthen this connection such that what they expect — a normal face — becomes more influential, overpowering the actual, though unlikely, visual information. Schizophrenia patients, meanwhile, may be unable to modulate this pathway, accepting the concave face as reality.
It makes sense. The brain uses all kinds of behind-the-scenes processing and shortcuts to (usually) simplify and manage our perceptions – anyone whose brain is unable to do that is necessarily going to experience the world in a very different way. In some cases malfunctioning filters might make someone more perceptive, but it's more likely that they'll be flooded and overwhelmed (the filters are there for a reason, after all). This was actually the explanation for the Joker's insanity in the Arkham Asylum graphic novel: He's mad because he perceives everything.

I suppose it's not that shocking that jello could be used as an artistic medium, but I never imagined it could be taken quite this far:
SAM BOMPAS and Harry Parr have built painstakingly correct models of London's St. Paul's Cathedral and Millennium Bridge, and a Madrid airport terminal complete with tiny airplanes.
Shimmering, brightly colored gelatin is the chosen medium of Mr. Bompas and Mr. Parr, two young products of Eton and University College, London, who have quickly become England's leading jelly artists, or as they call themselves, jelly mongers.
Mr. Bompas, 25, said: "We'll do pretty much anything. We've made an entire jellied Christmas dinner, hundreds of layers, each a different course, for television as the ultimate Christmas jelly."
For Hawksmoor restaurant in London, they created a ziggurat inspired by the steeple of an 18th-century church.
They make their own molds, designing them on a computer in the workshops of University College that translates them into three-dimensional models and transfers the specifications to a machine that makes plaster casts of the molds, called plugs. Once the plug is made, thin, malleable high-impact polystyrene plastic is applied to it in a vacuum to form the individual molds.
Although they work in a traditional medium, some of their projects verge on the avant-garde. In collaboration with a chemistry professor at University College, they used food-safe quinine to make jelly that emits a bluish glow under black light. Other experiments are in the works, including growing crystals inside the jelly.
Besides chemistry, they have had to learn engineering and also cooking. At the end of the day, or rather at the end of the meal, a jelly has to be tasty.
Amazing. Be sure to check out the slideshow, and the Bompas & Parr website.

This is cool but strange:
On Tuesday, six people will be voluntarily locked into a cloister of cramped, hermetically sealed tubes woven inside a Moscow research facility the size of a high school gymnasium. They will eat dehydrated food, breathe recycled air and be denied conversation with practically everyone else but one another.
And they must stay inside for 105 days.
In a small step in the direction of Mars, the international crew is embarking on a simulated flight to the planet to test the limits of human tolerance for the isolation and monotony of interplanetary travel.
"It is really like a real space flight without the weightlessness and the danger to our lives," said Sergei N. Ryazansky, a cosmonaut-in-training who will lead the mission. "On the inside, we will have a lack of incoming information, so it's the science of sensory deprivation."
Called Mars-500, the Russian-led project based at the Institute for Biomedical Problems here will culminate in a 520-day simulation beginning early next year of a complete manned mission to the planet — a time frame that incorporates launching to Mars touchdown and back — that scientists hope will edge humanity a little closer to that next giant leap.
It sounds a little crazy, but maintaining crew sanity for a year-and-a-half trip is at least as important and perhaps even as daunting as the engineering challenges of making such a trip technically possible.
I just didn't expect it to involve quite so much wood paneling.

This guy is so totally not getting a Christmas card.
Authorities said a 63-year-old man suspected of drunken driving crashed his pickup truck into a neighbor's house, leaving a gaping hole and revealing a small marijuana farm inside. San Diego police got a search warrant after the Sunday afternoon crash and confiscated more than 20 pot plants from the house.
Police Sgt. David Jennings said no one was inside the house, and neighbors told officers the residents were gone on a ski trip.
Guys, if you're reading this, you might want to extend that ski trip, and possibly take it to another country…

Joe the Plumber — real name Samuel Wurzelbacher — told a crowd of conservatives Thursday night that their love was getting him all hot and bothered.
"God, all this love and everything in the room — I'm horny," declared Joe.
Wurzelbacher had taken the stage to a standing ovation at the annual "DisHonors" Awards, presented by the Media Research Center, to poke fun liberal media groups. But the "horny" declaration didn't go over too well, according to the Washington Post.
Buzz immediately commenced.
"Did Joe the Plumber really just say he's horny?" "Did you hear Joe say 'horny'?" "Why is he horny and why is he telling us?"
Part of me wishes I had never read that, and part of me wants to Not-Joe to be the next entrant in the Face Of The GOP sweepstakes.

Michael Steele is like the Energizer Bunny of out-of-touch weirdness:
Check out this line from Michael Steele, in an interview with GQ, discussing the rap artists that he's listened to over the years:
Who do you listen to?
I actually listen to a cross section, because I like to hear what the medium is saying, what the voice is.
But do you have a favorite?
P. Diddy I enjoy quite a bit.
Do you want to rethink that?
[laughs] I guess I'm sorta old-school that way. Remember, I came of age with the DJ and all this other stuff, so I'm also loving Grandmaster Flash, and that's not hip-hop, but… Um, you know, I like Chuck D. And I always thought Snoop Dogg was–he just reminded me of the fellas back home. So I've always thoroughly enjoyed him.
This is not to say he is any kind of poser — maybe he does listen to those acts, and we should take him at his word.
But now take a look at his statement that he's a big fan of Frank Sinatra and the other guys in the "Pack Rats":
Who else?
I like Sinatra. I like old-school. You know, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Dean Martin. Love Dean Martin. He was one of these guys who just didn't give an F. He just didn't. Life was a party, and you either want to party or you don't. But yeah, I like those. I'm a big Pack Rat. I love the Pack Rats from the 1950s–Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, those guys.
You mean the Rat Pack.
The Rat Pack, yeah.
So Steele doesn't just sound like a middle-aged man trying to talk to his kids and failing to sound cool. He's also trying to talk to his parents and failing to sound cool.
Now, if he said he liked Kool Moe Dee, I might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Certainly the most self-destructive…
Very weird quote from chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele.
Mr. Steele said he is in stage two of a two-stage process to reform and transform the Republican Party. He won't reveal details, because, "The mice who are scurrying about the Hill are upset because they no longer have access to the cheese, so they don't know what's going on." He says his process has been "insular" because he doesn't want people "pontificating" on his decisions or second-guessing them before they are made."
Sounds like stage two of a two-stage process to get himself fired. While it's not 100% clear who Steele is referring to, it's difficult to read this – in context – as anything other than a reference to his GOP critics on the Hill. Not very smart.
Stage one, of course, was criticizing Emperor Limbaugh, then immediately groveling for forgiveness – which is a good way to alienate both the Limbaugh-lovers and the Limbaugh-haters.
Time to break out the popcorn. Or GOPcorn, as the case may be.

This is surreal on so many levels…
Every winter, David DeWitt takes his biology class to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, but for a purpose far different from that of other professors.
DeWitt brings his Advanced Creation Studies class (CRST 390, Origins) up from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., hoping to strengthen his students' belief in a biblical view of natural history, even in the lion's den of evolution.
Advanced Creation Studies? I have a hard time imagining what such a class would be like.
"Hey, what'd you have for #12 on the midterm?"
"Hey, me too! What about #27?"
"Wow, it's like we're psychic twins or something!"
His yearly visit to the Smithsonian is part of a wider movement by creationists to confront Darwinism in some of its most redoubtable secular strongholds. As scientists celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, his doubters are taking themselves on Genesis-based tours of natural history museums, aquariums, geologic sites and even dinosaur parks.
A 2006 poll by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 42 percent of Americans believe humans have always existed in their present form. At universities such as Liberty, founded by the late Jerry Falwell, those views inform the entire science curriculum.
We're doomed.

Some of the world's leading paleontologists are attempting to recreate a dinosaur — or something a lot like a dinosaur — by starting with a chicken embryo and working backward to engineer a "chickenosaurus" or "dinochicken," project leader Jack Horner told Discovery News.
"Birds are dinosaurs, so technically we're making a dinosaur out of a dinosaur," said Horner, a professor of paleontology at Montana State University and curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies.
"A number of people in a number of different places are moving forward with the project slowly and carefully," he said.
One such researcher is Hans Laarson of McGill University in Montreal. Laarson and his team are analyzing the genes involved in tail development and researching ways of manipulating chicken embryos in order to "awaken the dinosaur within."
Other medical breakthroughs could also occur, he said, since "genomes made of genes made of switches" function similarly in all animals, including humans.
There is no danger of the proposed dinochicken escaping and populating the world with dinosaurs, Horner said, since only the chicken's development, and not its genome, would have been affected. If the creature did somehow escape and could mate, the result would just be a regular chicken.
Kevin Padian, a professor of integrative biology at the University of California at Berkeley and a curator at the UC Museum of Paleontology, told Discovery News he supports the project.
"The important thing that Jack and Jim are saying here is that there is a lot of information stored in our genes that we don't use — genes that determine features that evolution has suppressed, for various reasons," Padian said.
"We now have the tools to 'reverse-engineer' some of those constraints and produce traits that look a bit more like those ancient features," he added. "This tells us how genetics, development and evolution are related, so it's tremendously important."
When and if the dinochicken is created, Horner looks forward to bringing it out on a leash during lectures.
So how long before someone tries this with other animals, or even people? The bioethicists will have a field day.

I've seen lots of PCs integrated into monitors, but this is a new one on me:
Marvell has the technology and the vision, and if the company gets its way the world will soon be overrun by lilliputian Linux machines. Hiding in wall warts and the like, these guys will begin quietly taking over tasks that we once relegated to servers and desktop machines. To this end, the company has just announced that they'll be making the SheevaPlug dev kit available. This is the platform that PogoPlug is based on, consisting of a 1.2GHz Kirkwood processor, 512MB flash storage, 512MB DRAM, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and USB 2.0. This bad boy supports many standard Linux 2.6 kernel distributions, and the whole thing plugs directly into a standard wall socket, drawing "less than one tenth of the power of a typical PC" while in use. Currently available for $99, the company says that it anticipates a price drop to $49 "in the near future."
That's right, a PC that's integrated into its own power adapter. And it's almost as powerful as my last PC was. Amazing.

Porn star Stormy Daniels contemplates running against diaper-and-prostitute-loving right-wing hypocrite Senator David Vitter (R-Huggies). I particularly like when she suggests that her RealDoll could beat Vitter in a debate, and her campaign slogan, "Stormy Daniels: At least I don't wear a diaper."

What is wrong with these people???
The 72-year-old [masturbation-promoting former Surgeon General Jocelyn] Elders would receive just as poor a reception in 2009 from the folks at the Passion for Christ Movement which, along with Dr. Ty @ DaSouth.com, is engaging in a holy war over spanking the monkey, focusing on young people of color.
Yes, I said it, in fact, I'll say it again, MASTURBATION! I figure if a few thousand of the millions here on Myspace can expose their breast, proposition you for sex, have degrading music, and nakedness can have the audacity to request me as a friend , then I can say MASTURBATION and tell the truth about it! And given that many of you are doing it or have, let's talk about it. Since the majority of us have at least a 3rd grade education, I'll begin by defining what it is.
I have heard it said by many, especially by "Christians", that masturbation is not sex and even if you don't have a third grade education, you can clearly see that masturbation is sex. But many like to use that as an excuse to do it so that they can get a little sex without going "all the way". But whether you have sexual intercourse or sexually manipulate your own genitals to achieve an orgasm, you are having sex. The reason why you masturbate is to achieve an orgasm. And an orgasm is the culmination, the climax of any sexual act, whether it's with a partner(s) or sex with yourself. And that's exactly what masturbation is, solo sex.
…Trust me, I've been there, and I'd rather have cold, dry sheets than to fondle my self. Two things I've come to know about masturbation is this:
1. It brings shame, and…
2. It is addictive
Most people who have engaged in masturbation know that the culmination of this sexual act ends in shame. I don't have to share with you the thousands of emails of the admittance of this shame because you know all too well since you have experienced it yourself. Curled up in a fetal position, crying, because your bed is even more empty and you're lonelier than you did before you violated yourself…Because God never created sex so that you could gratify yourself. The dictionary defined masturbation as self abuse…the miss use of yourself. The mistreatment, the manipulation, the exploitation of YOU.
TMI. While this is hysterically bizarre, the sad truth is that, with the unprecedented spread of HIV/AIDS in minority communities, a pious drumbeat to demonize a form of sexual expression that represents safe sex, doesn't involve the possibility of an unintended pregnancy, and no one gives a rip about if done in private is the last thing young POC need to hear.
So, who here curls up in a fetal ball and cries with self-pitying loneliness after they masturbate? Show of hands – no, er, your other hand.

I'm actually not kidding…
In his mercurial career Mr. Martin, 63, has gone from manic, rabbit-eared stand-up comedian to introspective memoirist. He has made movies for Carl Reiner ("The Jerk") and David Mamet ("The Spanish Prisoner") alike. Through his many incarnations a banjo has never been far from his reach, whether the instrument was an integral part of his act or a tool to help him unwind in private.
Now Mr. Martin is once again in the musician's role as he releases an album called "The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo." The record (which is being sold exclusively on Amazon.com, until April 26, when it also will be released elsewhere) is a token of his affection for bluegrass, with appearances by performers like Vince Gill and Dolly Parton. But it is also an opportunity to show off one of his less celebrated, least commercial skills, and to reimmerse himself in a musical genre he never fully gave up.
"It's a secret world," he said of bluegrass in an interview at his "SNL" dressing room, where his banjo sat beside him in its case like a baby in a bassinet. "It's a big world, but it's thin. And it doesn't make the news, which is actually quite fantastic."
Mr. Martin, who came of age in Orange County, Calif., in the early 1960s, recalled the era as one when folk groups like the Kingston Trio and bluegrass bands like the Dillards were at their peak. Having decided to become an entertainer, Mr. Martin seized on the banjo as one more element he could add to an all-purpose act.
"I needed everything," said Mr. Martin, who in person is more reserved than his on-screen characters but excitable once he starts talking about music. "I did jokes, I did juggling, did magic. I put the banjo in just really to fill time, so I'd have enough to call it a show."
[S]tarting in 2001 he began a banjo resurgence. That year Earl Scruggs, the bluegrass pioneer, asked him to play on a recording of the song "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" for the album "Earl Scruggs and Friends." In 2007 he contributed an original composition, "The Crow," to the Tony Trischka album "Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular."
Among country and bluegrass musicians, Mr. Martin is regarded as a master of a difficult five-fingered playing style known as clawhammer or frailing, in which the instrument's strings are pushed down by fingernails, rather than pulled up with picks.
"I know I can't play it," said Mr. Scruggs, for whom the traditional three-fingered Scruggs style is named. "So it's a challenge for me."
There you have it: Steve Martin has mastered a banjo style that even Earl Scruggs can't play. And no-one even knows about it.

From Bill Madden's NY Daily News column on Joe Torre's tell-all book about the Yankees:
Up front, I must say it's a compelling read, even if Yankee trainer Steve Donohue rubbing Roger Clemens' testicles with extra hot liniment before every start was probably more information than I needed to know.
Jebus, Roger can't even rub his own testicles with extra hot liniment, he has to have "people" to do that for him? Ah, the life of a pampered super-rich batshit insane pro athlete.

My only sorrow is that this was not captured on video:
A builder scared off a potential robber by running at him dressed as the Norse god Thor.
The terrified intruder leapt from a first floor window to escape Torvald Alexander, who was dressed as the Norse god of thunder in a red cape and silver helmet and breastplate.
Mr Alexander had just returned from a New Year's Eve fancy dress party when he discovered the man in his home in Inverleith, Edinburgh. He said he acted instinctively to chase the intruder away, and believed his costume may have added impact.
Gee, ya think?

Gotta love the reporters and media organizations who don't take the Superbowl too seriously…
[F]or entertainment, there was an ample male reporter (from Telemundo) wearing a red dress and a feather boa while interviewing the players. There was also one athlete who spent an uncomfortably long time checking him out before saying, "Oh no, is that a guy?" The guy, by the way, was telling players he was the "fairy godmother" and that they needed him to win Sunday's game.
I generally don't have much interest in watching the Superbowl in person, but I'm starting to wonder if I can buy a ticket to Media Day…

CRAPSTONE, England — When ordering things by telephone, Stewart Pearce tends to take a proactive approach to the inevitable question "What is your address?"
He lays it out straight, so there is no room for unpleasant confusion. "I say, 'It's spelled "crap," as in crap,' " said Mr. Pearce, 61, who has lived in Crapstone, a one-shop country village in Devon, for decades.
As a timesaver, here are the other place names in the story, in order of appearance:
East Breast
North Piddle
Spanker Lane
Crotch Crescent
Titty Ho (my personal favorite)
Slutshole Lane
Pratts Bottom
Gaswork Road
Hoare Road
Typple Avenue
Quare Street
Corfe Close (only a problem if your address ends in a 4)
Tumbledown Dick Road
Butt Hole Road
Of course, my own adopted state of Pennisylvania Pennsylvania has placed Blue Ball and Intercourse very close to one another. I wonder if there's a shuttle bus.

At least, I think it's a watch…
Free, disruptive. The latest Concord specimen grants time a space that is commensurate with its personality; that of freedom from constraints or ties. With an aerial bi-axial Tourbillon mechanism, a structure that makes emptiness its core material, a skeletized dial, functional elements fitted to the side of the carriage and an industrial and minimalist spirit, the C1 QuantumGravity timepiece defies all laws, including that of logic and most of all, of gravity.
The Tourbillon cage, which is fitted outside the movement and case where it is suspended, literally, rotates in a multi-dimensional manner on two axes, the main one being vertical. The structure of this disconcerting timepiece gives the cable-stayed bridges their rigid and light connection; an extended arm of cables fastened to the plate holds the cage in a vertical position, thus highlighting the sensation of autonomy.
Beneath the impressive sapphire crystal lies a panorama at its most extensive, giving shape to time, which becomes almost immaterial. While the dial strives to display the passing of time, it above all highlights empty space. The depth of its field of vision is dizzying and the feeling of levitation exhilarating. The officer-style hinged back excels in revealing the geometric circuit of the right-angled skeletized bridges in a titanic case measuring 47.5 mm in diameter and 22 mm in depth. Its infinite preciousness holds many more temporal surprises…
The C1 QuantumGravity timepiece, designed by the "C Lab Series" team in conjunction with BNB Concept, takes watchmaking experimentation even further. It follows the impulse of a brand that defends its conviction of time inevitably linked to space. In this parallel and unconventional world, infatuation with non-conformity underscores Concord's creative spirit. C1 QuantumGravity is the latest living proof.
Wow. This might actually be the first TimeCube-compatible timepiece in recorded history.
