Debunking Denialism
Modern life presents us with an apparent paradox: science has a strong cultural authority, yet primitive darkness is coming back in the shape of creationism, quack medicine, opposition to vaccination, HIV/AIDS denialism, anti-psychiatry and so on.
Debunking Denialism takes on the enemies of reason.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. This is a clear prescription for disaster.
- Carl Sagan, astronomer, author and popularizer of science (source).
"I realize that 'complementary and alternative medicine' (CAM) or, what quackademics like to call it now, 'integrative medicine' (IM) is meant to refer to 'integrating' alternative therapies into SBM or 'complementing' SBM with a touch of the ol' woo, but I could never manage to understand how 'integrating' quackery with SBM would do anything but weaken the scientific foundation of medicine."
- David Gorski, cancer surgeon and debunker of pseudoscience (source).
"Postmodernism, the school of 'thought' that proclaimed 'There are no truths, only interpretations' has largely played itself out in absurdity, but it has left behind a generation of academics in the humanities disabled by their distrust of the very idea of truth and their disrespect for evidence, settling for 'conversations' in which nobody is wrong and nothing can be confirmed, only asserted with whatever style you can muster."
- Daniel Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist (source).
"If I am ignorant about a phenomenon, that is a fact about my state of mind, not a fact about the phenomenon; to worship a phenomenon because it seems so wonderfully mysterious, is to worship your own ignorance; a blank map does not correspond to a blank territory, it is just somewhere we haven't visited yet"
- Eliezer S. Yudkowsky, rationality expert and AI researcher (source).
"As an aside, it is ironic that CAM proponents often simultaneously tout how individualized their treatment approach is, but then claim that one product or treatment can cure all cancer. Meanwhile they criticize the alleged cookie-cutter approach of mainstream medicine, which is actually producing a more and more individualized (and evidence-based) approach to such things as cancer."
- Steven Novella, neurologist and founder of the New England Skeptical Society. (source).
"While Galileo was a rebel, not all rebels are Galileo."
- Norman Levitt, mathematician and critic of anti-science postmodernism (quoted in Paul Offit's Autism's False Prophets, p. 37).
"Twenty epidemiologic studies have shown that neither thimerosal nor MMR vaccine causes autism. These studies have been performed in several countries by many different investigators who have employed a multitude of epidemiologic and statistical methods. The large size of the studied populations has afforded a level of statistical power sufficient to detect even rare associations. These studies, in concert with the biological implausibility that vaccines overwhelm a child's immune system, have effectively dismissed the notion that vaccines cause autism. Further studies on the cause or causes of autism should focus on more-promising leads."
- Gerber and Offit (2009) (source).
"To me, skepticism is not believing what someone tells you, investigating all the information before coming to a conclusion. Skepticism is a good thing. Global warming skepticism is not that. It's the complete opposite of that. It's coming to a preconceived conclusion and cherry-picking the information that backs up your opinion. Global warming skepticism isn't skepticism at all."
- John Cook, Climate Communication Fellow for the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland (source).
"Rather than persisting in the view that they have been 'rejected by science', advocates in the cryptozoology community have more work to do in order to produce convincing evidence for anomalous primates and now have the means to do so. The techniques described here put an end to decades of ambiguity about species identification of anomalous primate samples and set a rigorous standard against which to judge any future claims."
- Bryan Sykes, human geneticist (source)
"In our reasonings concerning matter of fact, there are all imaginable degrees of assurance, from the highest certainty to the lowest species of moral evidence. A wise man, therefore, proportions his belief to the evidence."
- David Hume, philosopher, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X: Of Miracles (source)
"I believe science is a search for the truth, not a lesson in manners, [...] I don't do politeness."
- Dan Graur, evolutionary biologist (source)
"You've had your eight, now I have my eighty."
- Brad Whitaker (source), Bond villain in The Living Daylights (1987)

Wall St had a day out and about and shut down large parts of New York
This assault has stiffened our resolve. Now begins the second, visceral, canny, militant phase of our nonviolent march to real democracy. We regroup, lick our wounds and begin our counterattack as early as tomorrow
We will turn this winter into a training ground for precision disruptions – flashmobs, stink bombs, edgy theatrics – against the megacorps and the unrepentant 1%, a festival of resistance in the snow with, or without, an encampment that'll lay the tactical foundation for our Spring Offensive.
Occupy London has squatted a huge multimillion pound office block in the borough of Hackney belonging to the investment bank UBS in a move it describes as a 'public repossession.'
Occupy Bristol is calling on Bristol City Council to support National Move Your Money Day on 2nd Dec by committing to move their* money.
Bristol City Council currently bank with RBS/Natwest, the UK leader in fossil fuel investments. We are calling on them to put their* money where their mouth is, in relation to their claims to be a sustainable city.
In the years 2006-2008, RBS/Natwest provided approximately $15.93 billion of financing to companies involved in extracting or burning coal.
If the Council commit to moving their* money it could move millions of pounds out of fossil fuels, the military and other unethical activities. This could move capital into projects investing in renewable energy and other socially useful activities.
In the United States the Move your money campaign has already had massive success and has moved several billion dollars from unethical, to ethical investors.
We are confident that Bristol City Council will make the ethical, sustainable choice to move their* money, given that they "are facing up to the imminent threats from an over reliance on carbon fuels" (Barbara Janke 28/11/11)
Although we recognise that its not within the council's power to change most of the issues that Occupy Bristol is raising, we believe this would be a good gesture to show that we do in fact have "much in common" and that the Council take our concerns seriously.
These actions are not sufficient to bring about the kind of change we need to see in the world. This is simply the first step of a long journey.
To support our nationwide 'move your money' campaign visit: www.moveyourmoney.org.uk
*Their money in this context is actually *our money, Bristol City Council are just looking after it for us. In our view they are not looking after it very well.

quote:Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris and Texas A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury have emerged as the two front-runners for Texas Tech's vacant coaching job, sources told ESPN. Morris and Kingsbury each met with Texas Tech on Tuesday about its coaching vacancy, according to multiple sources. Texas Tech may settle on a replacement for Tommy Tuberville by the end of the weekend, according to sources. Kingsbury, 33, enjoyed a prolific collegiate career as the Red Raiders' quarterback from 1998 to 2002. He is set to complete his first season at Texas A&M, where he coached Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and guided an offense that averaged 552.3 yards per game -- third in the FBS.
quote:For the record, their top candidate is Morris
quote:Kingsbury and Hance are not exactly on good terms after what happened with Leach.
quote:Either way it looks like Tech is gonna hire him
quote:Kingsbury played for Texas Tech...it isn't hard to connect the dots of where this is going.
quote:Wont happen. Kingsbury hates Kent Hance and as told those around him he'll never go to Tech while he's there. The Leach debacle soured him.

Purposed Work
Latanyua Taylor Robinson describes herself as a minister for manufacturing. In 2010, she started Latrobe LLC, a manufacturing and engineering services company. Latrobe�s mission: to create jobs in industrial manufacturing, specifically in low to moderate income communities. Latanyua�s educational credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from the University of Arkansas and a Master of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University. She developed a passion for manufacturing while in college. Throughout her career, Latanyua has held a variety of increasing responsibilities in operations, engineering, quality and marketing management. These assignments created opportunities to travel domestically and around the world, including various countries throughout Europe, China, India, Israel and Mexico. At such companies as Cargill, Sony and Kennametal, Latanyua met the challenges that come with being the �first� and the �only� as an opportunity to demonstrate that with proper training, women can succeed in jobs and industries traditionally reserved for men. Latrobe began as a contract manufacturing company. Today the portfolio has expanded to include process engineering, strategic marketing and construction tools and services. In May 2011, Latanyua was selected and honored as a Finalist at the Greater Washington D.C.�s Annual Women in Technology Leadership Awards in the category of Entrepreneur. In September 2011, she opened a second office in Port Arthur, Texas, to support job creation in manufacturing in southeast Texas and along the Sabine River into Louisiana. Additionally in October 2011 and 2012, Latanyua was a featured panel speaker at the Women in Manufacturing Symposiums held in Cleveland, Ohio and Milwaukee, Wisc. In April 2013, Latanyua will become an inducted member of the Arkansas Academy of Industrial Engineers. Her next goal is to launch a non-profit organization focused toward getting more girls and women involved in manufacturing and technology. Girls Engaged in Manufacturing Studies (GEMS) mission and goals are to increase the numbers of females entering high tech, engineering and STEM related professions that are critical to our nation�s future growth and competitive edge in the global marketplace. Latanyua is married to James Robinson and they have a son named Quincy. The family currently resides in the Beaumont, Texas metro area. In her spare time, Latanyua shares her thoughts on economic diversity and the importance of manufacturing in sustaining the middle class economy in a blog titled, Purposed Work.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart�and He shall direct your path
(Proverbs 3:5-6)<>>
When I asked my potential client for a physical address for our meeting location, I received the following response:
The use of GPS is not permitted when travelling to our sites.
I knew then that I was in for an adventure. I got directions to an undisclosed location and a promise for a host to meet me at an intersection, where I would park my car and travel with a group to a series of drilling sites, located on rural routes that I could not get to again if my life depended on it. My adventure on this trip was exploring applications for green technology for primary and secondary containment on drilling platforms. Environmentally-friendly, cost-effective solutions for petroleum�my nerd-radar was on a 10!!!<>>
Adventures in Arkansas: With today�s technology, I take �selfies� to chart my location in unknown territories�you know, just in case. But that option was not always available. My first job out of college required me to spend time in northwest Arkansas traveling in rural areas that supported the turkey production supply chain. So I rode in pickup trucks with virtual strangers to turkey farms, hatcheries, feed mills, etc. Years later, after I started Latrobe, I found myself in a similar situation, riding in a pickup truck with someone who appeared uncomfortable taking me to visit upstart drilling platforms supporting the Fayetteville shale play. So how did I find a way to break the ice? I initiated a conversation about Razorback sports, rice farming, and duck hunting. I remember talking with my host so much that we almost got stuck somewhere in Faulkner county during the 2011 Storm of the Century.
Adventures in Asia: My most memorable adventure was my first visit to China. I was visiting a supplier that we were developing to provide raw materials for steel products. It was 2003 and in the early infrastructure development. Although I flew into Shanghai, the worksite was in Dongtai, an agriculture community in its infancy for industrial production. When I say infancy, I mean that along the two hour journey, many of the roads and basic necessities did not exist. When we got to the work site, I remember asking my host about the facilities and was directed toward a trough, hidden behind a makeshift aluminum wall. What to do with my new London Fog trench coat was the least of my concerns!!!
Adventures in Assimilating into non-traditional work environments: Throughout my career, I have developed a list of survival tactics to make it easier on my hosts and me when travelling to rugged work sites:<>>
Wear a jacket or a vest with pockets
(there�s usually no place to keep a purse)<>>
Keep a small container of hand sanitizer & baby wipes on you
(use your imagination)<>>
Know the outcome to last night�s game or local event
(good conversation starter)<>>
Develop tough skin for political/religious/social issues
(awkward conversation ender)<>>
Glamorize/personalize where appropriate
(i.e., my chartreuse safety hat)<>>
Be yourself
(you do not have to act like a man to work in a man�s environment)<>>
As a little girl, I was always told to pay attention when I went anywhere, so that if I got lost, I could always find my way home. As an adult, I have been blessed to go on adventures where that was not always an option in the natural. By faith, I know that I have a supernatural power directing my path to find my way home safely. Now, if I could just find my way to owning a rock quarry and a dump truck. After this week�s adventure, my entrepreneurial radar saw a potentially new opportunity for good works.<>>

Enlarge / Alternate Images
I am still a student and wasn't thrilled with the bolsters we use in class. I use this with a cover to protect it from lotions/gels. I find it very adaptable to each client. I prefer it to the firmer smaller bolsters and it seems my clients do too! Great Value.
Purchased this twice in 7 years and my clients love it! I have a bigger firmer one for my larger male clients but this one fits everyone else. Perfect amount of elevation for comfort.
This bolster comes close to being the most perfect. I have a private massage practice, and I also supplement my time working for a massage chain. This bolster may not be 'fluffy' like a pillow, but it is definitely not like the traditional harder bolsters. It softly supports the knees and ankles when I work on clients and has enough give that I don't feel the client is too high or too support. I don't think I would want anything softer that this. If I did, I would just need to get a feather pillow. It is easy to clean and it has lasted many years with proper care. Make sure you clean it after each use in case you get any kind of product on it. Otherwise, it will start deteriorating at the seams. The ones I use at work that multiple therapists use start to look worn after three years.
My clients LOVE this bolster! It shapes itself to each client and can be positioned anywhere.

Perdomo 10th Champagne Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 36 reviews
"Creamy savory and smooth"
smoked several of these and consistently great taste and creamy smoke once you re about a half inch in. stays pretty cool and tasty to the nub.
zin_guy in Silicon Valley California December 9, 2013
"OVER humid... Impossible to stay lit"
I lit one straight from the mail, and it was like trying to keep a banana lit... I'll let them sit and see how they adjust
David in Maryland October 3, 2013
Major spice from beginning to finish, with very little complexity. To be fair I tried these twice with different orders, but my opinion didn't change. Not a terrible smoke, but a real disappointment for the price.
BH in Alabama June 24, 2013
"Nice Slow Burn"
The construction of the cigar was what I was most impressed with. Not to take away from the taste which just gets better as you work your way through. Great smoke. I got a 5 pack for just $18 from Cigar Monster, feels like a downright steal now.
Dan in New York June 20, 2013
"A+ when paired right"
With white jerez/xeres/sherry "fino muy seco" and a few months of rest in the humi, this smoke turns from "blah" to "ahhhh!". Perhaps as bright, robust and complex as a CT/ shade smoke gets. It sure aged better than any CT I've attempted coddling.
Lenni in New York, NY October 17, 2012
"Great morning cigar"
This is a fantastic cigar for Saturday or Sunday morning with a cup of Columbian coffee. Never had a wrapper problem or bad burn. Has a hint of spice at the end.
jaded in Tennessee July 8, 2012
"Smooth with a kick"
The taste is not so bad but not the greatest, the draw and burn are one of the best I have ever had.
Odie G in San Antonio, TX February 10, 2012
I'm usually a maduro smoker and had the Champagne suggested to me by one of the Famous staff. A delightful change to heavier cigars with an interesting mix of flavours that keep me going back for more. I've recommended this to friends who are experienced cigar smokers and they too have reacted the same way.
Joe from Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada January 2, 2012
Smokes like a mild punches like a full strength. This cigar is mild and creamy. With slight hints of nuts and spices. Absolutely no pepperyness. Had it sitting in my box for a few months and I am rather enjoying it. its definitely a nice calm you down before bed cigar. Not sure what to pair with it but I would think a nice dram of Auchentoshan would go quite well with this. I did have a little minor wrapper pealing but nothing to turn you off of this wonderful smoke
Ian in Columbus December 18, 2011
Theres a cigar out there for everyone and this type is either yours or its not.
Its not mine but what it is is..a nicely constructed velvety Leathery smoke. Burns cool and consistent. A bit on the bittery side but also has a very nice draw and creamy smoke. You can drive it and enjoy it.. I drove it and parked it.
For what it is its done well and has its place. Im getting away from Conns.

How Biggest Loser Winner Helen Phillips Lost 140 Lbs.
By Joanna Powell

Tips from Six Biggest Loser Contestants
Season nine of The Biggest Loser is now under way on NBC, and 11 teams of family pairs have thrown themselves at the mercy of trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. Here, six contestants (including SunShine Hampton, who was sent home with her dad on day one, but has since returned to the Ranch) share tips on what works for them and could help you, too.
1. Stephanie Anderson, 30, West Hollywood, CA
Starting weight: 264 lbs
Lbs lost so far: 39
Use a mantra: Since I've been at the Ranch, I've learned not to "try," but to "do." It's great to keep in mind when you're struggling.
Breathe right: For the first time in my life, I'm running. It's remarkable. I can do it because I'm breathing deeply from my diaphragm and not hyperventilating.
Talk yourself through it: During a recent challenge, we had to do 500 sliders, an exercise on a long board. When the three winners were chosen, I was only at 370. So I thought, OK, I'm going to 400. At 400, I thought, I can do a hundred more. My legs felt like Jell-O. But I did it.
2. Michael Ventrella, 31, Chicago
Starting weight: 526 lbs (heaviest contestant ever)
Lbs lost so far: 83
Tune in to your body's signals: I was an emotional eater, so there were times I felt extremely hungry but in my head, not in my stomach. Now I listen to my body and say, "Is my stomach rumbling, or is it my mind that wants to grab something?" I know that when I get upset or nervous, I start picking up food. So I try to catch myself, and walk or listen to music instead.
Find healthy ingredients: I use fat-free Greek yogurt as my white sauce base for a low-cal fettuccine Alfredo, and whole wheat pitas for pizzas on the barbecue grill.
3. SunShine Hampton, 24, Minneapolis
Starting weight: 275 lbs
Lbs lost so far: 30
Make room for your goals: When I went home, my mother and brother were still eating regular food and drinking pop, but my dad and I had only 1,200 calories a day. We would eat two different dinners. Wherever I was in the house, I could hear my mom opening a can of pop. I learned to separate my goals from my surroundings.
Say so long to soda: I've always loved it, but I never realized all the empty calories I was drinking. Now, instead of soda, I drink sparkling water with a little added vanilla and Truvia, a natural sweetener. It tastes like pop, but it's calorie-free.
4. Miggy Cancel, 48, Pemberton, NJ
Starting weight: 240 lbs
Lbs lost so far: 34
Do what you can: One night at the Ranch I woke up in terrible pain and had to have emergency surgery. When I got out of the hospital, the only exercise I could do was walking. I had three days until weigh-in, so I walked 45 miles and lost five pounds.
Face your fears: I've been afraid of water since I almost drowned when I was 14. One challenge required us to cross deep water while balancing on a narrow board. It was very, very stressful, and I almost didn't do it. I hadn't been in water for over 34 years. I fell in once, and it was terrible. But the second time, I made it across.
5. Sherry Johnston, 52, Knoxville, TN
Starting weight: 218 lbs
Lbs lost so far: 38
Read labels like a hawk: When you eat a frozen diet meal, you may think you're doing great because the calories are low. But the sodium can be off the charts. It makes you retain water, which can affect the number on the scale.
Use good form: I was filmed while running and saw that I lean back when I run. Dr. Huizenga [Loser's staff doctor] calculated that the impact on my legs and knees was almost twice as much as my extra weight! Now I'm running on a slight incline because it makes you lean forward a little and takes the pressure off your joints.
6. Lance Morgan, 38, Aspermont, TX
Starting weight: 365 lbs
Lbs lost so far: 51
Be flexible: I'm a Texas rancher, and I never imagined myself doing yoga. But Bob likes to do it a couple times a week. I find the added flexibility and balance help make my other workouts easier.
Find out your body age: Dr. Huizenga ran tests that show my real body age is almost 60. I'm only 37 years old! It was a shock, but it propels me to change.
Partner up for workouts: My wife [and Biggest Loser partner], Melissa, is my best motivator. The week she trained me, I had the highest percentage of weight loss of all.

BRUISERS - COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Scene #03
Scene Info
BRUISERS - COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Scene #03
Laying out in the tall grass, muscle-pup Sebastian Rossi spreads out on his towel wearing his COLT Collection Jock Brief. Showing off the Jock Brief's best asset, Sebastian takes full advantage of the easy access to his favorite pleasure zone. With his fingers probing, Sebastian explores his muscled ass and his hot twitching hole, taking his sweet time and getting himself all worked up. Needing some release Sebastian unleashes his thick uncut tool, stroking his foreskin and milking up a steady flow of pre-cum. Rising up on his knees Sebastian beats his hard meat with a fierce intensity, jackhammering his throbbing cock until his man juice erupts.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Tom Court Camp in Sri Lanka
As a new and interesting aspect of kiteboarding, traveling to a country to find the flattest water would be something that seemed ludicrous to most surfers, an unimaginable fate, going to a country that has waves and yet choosing to go to the flat, lagoon sheltered coast and spend two weeks there, in a grass hut, with nothing except flat water and wind to keep you company. Well, as crazy as this would seem, and indeed I am a surfer too, this is exactly what I have done for the last two weeks here in Kalpitya, Sri Lanka. In search of the ultimate freestyle spot, a place to ride uncrowded flat water, try some new tricks and film my adventures...for me this is excitement of a different kind.
I was now there for two weeks, riding the platitudes of flat water spots, doing down winders and fitting in as many boat trips as we could. Although the Sri Lanka Kite center is right on the edge of the lagoon, you can launch from the kite school and ride across the lagoon to the sand bar on the other side, that offers an amazing freestyle location, with mirror flat water and variably constant wind. There are also a lot of other kite spots available that are not so easy to access but, they are well worth the mission. Getting a local fishing boat, it is possible to drive down wind for about forty minuets, this will take you deep into military controlled zone, towards the north of the island. Having only just escaped the grip of a long civil war, the army still has a big presence on the island. This serves to enhance the excitement, although if you go there with the kite camp, then there is nothing to worry about, although it does help to keep these kite spots pretty empty most of the time. Once you have entered this area, there are an expanse of small sand islands within the lagoon, none of them higher than about fifteen feet and all of them with butter flat off-shore sections. Each one is bigger than the last until you eventually reach one that has a flat offshore kite spot that stretches for about four miles. One of the best freestyle spots I have ever seen!
My trip this time was two weeks long and I would recommend this a a good length of time to take if you plan to visit. It will give you time to get used to the 35degree heat and enough time to polish your kite skills and take them to the next level. If you are a person who prefers to spend a little longer on a trip and get some time to really explore the place, I would also recommend it. Undoubtably Sri Lanka has a lot to offer, although a comparably small country compared to India, there is a lot of truth in the name 'Jewel of the Indian Ocean'. It has such a rich tapestry of cultural influence, a mixture of religions that has sculpted the island into a holy place, with temples represent each religion all over the place. Its wildlife and tropical rain forest's cover the interior and although it has some more touristy areas, there is a lot to explore that will really make you feel like you are on an adventure. Kiteboarding is a new sport in Sri Lanka and the tourism for sports like kiting and surfing are just building up there. I left the country this time, inspired by what I had seen kiteboarding bring to the area around the lagoons on the east coast in such a short time. The changes I had seen the sport make in a positive way and the implications that this has on the surrounding village and local people, business, livelihood, foreign trade and most if all an exposure to a lifestyle that is spreading faster than we can imagine. Already there are local Sri Lankan children learning to kite and it wont be long until we see them in the magazines, an opportunity that only a few sports can offer. So, if you are into kiteboarding, don't underestimate its power as a sport. Use it as inspiration to change your life, an excuse to get out and see new places, a reason to meet new people and a way to most importantly have fun! Sat on the plane, leaving Sri Lanka and flying back to Europe, I sit an wonder, where is next!?"
Thomas Sabo Kite Camp with Dirk Hanel in El Gouna
Sun, fun and lots of Kitesurfing action was guaranteed at the 2012 Thomas Sabo Kite Camp in El Gouna. For a whole week, the lucky winners of a Men´s Health raffle joined Dirk Hanel on an exciting trip to Egypt. Packed with the newest NKB gear like Rebel 2013, Vegas 2013, a sneak preview on even the Evo 2013 and some new Spike Textreme , Xride and Jaime boards, the trip started from Munich. Four male and two female winners boarded the Condor flight to Hurghada and enjoyed the nice Steigenberger Hotel in El Gouna. The first two days the wind was not quite there, but the hot 38 degrees and sun could not ruin the great vibes and enthusiasm of the complete team. Four full days with great winds were the treasure for all of us getting the chance to work on new tricks and just enjoy the time on the water together. Topped with four days of getting photos and shots done by the professional photographer Caro Thiersch, the camp came to an end.
Thanks to Kitepower El Gouna for perfect storage, North Kiteboarding Germany, Christian Schmitt for test gear, ION for the great gifts for all winners, Swox for the sun protection and Thomas Sabo for the complete organization.
To be continued in 2013.

Man Sentenced to Prison for Showing Girl 'Joystick'
Golden Enerst Michael exposed his erect 'joystick' to a minor inviting her to have sex with him but she was shocked since she had never seen such a 'humha' before.
The seemingly sex starved man pleaded guilty to the charge of public indecency when he appeared before Magistrate Precious Muzondo. Magistrate Muzondo, however, slapped him with a five-month jail term before suspending one month from five months on condition of good behaviour. The remaining four months shall be effective.

POSTED: Thursday, July 25, 2013 - 1:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, July 25, 2013 - 11:00am
SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) — Google has a simple and inexpensive new way to stream Internet videos on your TV.
The company on Wednesday introduced Chromecast, a small device that lets you stream content to your television over a WI-Fi network, using your computer, phone or tablet as a remote control. The company said its goal is to create a device with zero setup time, no learning curve, and one that works with all platforms and devices.
The $35 Chromecast is a radically different approach to TV than Google's previous failed attempt, the Nexus Q. It's smaller, cheaper and available starting today.
The two-inch dongle looks like a thumb drive and pops into the HDMI port on an HDTV. It turns your phone, tablet or computer into a remote. Choose what content you'd like to stream and the Chromecast will play it on a nearby TV.
It supports both Android and iOS devices. At Wednesday's press event, Google demonstrated the device using a Windows laptop and an iPhone.
Chromecast is streaming directly from your Wi-Fi connection, so it's not draining your device's battery. That also means you can multi-task, checking e-mail on your computer, tablet or phone while a custom YouTube playlist broadcasts on your TV.
The device currently only streams content from YouTube, Google Play and Netflix, though more apps, such as Pandora, are expected in the future. A beta feature lets you stream any tab directly from a Chrome browser running on one of your non-TV devices.
With Chromecast, Google is seeking a foothold in a small but growing field. Only 15 percent of households have figured out how to watch online video on their TV sets, according to Google. The device goes head-to-head with existing Internet-on-TV solutions like Apple TV or the Roku box.
The Chromecast stick is on sale now in the Google Play store and at electronics retailers such as Best Buy, although it may not ship immediately. A purchase of Chromecast includes three months of free Netflix streaming.

The Berlin Residency Program
Blue Star Selects Artists for 2014-2015 Berlin Residency Program
As the exclusive U.S. partner of the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Blue Star Contemporary annually selects four artists residing in Bexar County to take part in three-month residencies in Berlin, Germany. While in residence, the artists are given a studio and living space, as well as access to workshops, exhibition opportunities, and studio visits with international curators. Upon completion of the residency, Blue Star Contemporary mounts an annual exhibition each March of new work inspired by the artists' residency experiences. Blue Star Contemporary is pleased to announce the 2014-2015 selected artists are Justin Boyd, Chris Sauter, Adriana Corral, and Jessica Halonen.
"A residency experience is potentially transformative for an artist—broadening horizons and art practice. Blue Star Contemporary is pleased to be able to make such an important opportunity available to four of our city's top talents each year. It is a worthy investment in our creative community—showcasing our artists on the world stage and reaping the rewards when they return, when we see the impact on their artwork," said Blue Star Executive Director Mary Heathcott.
Künstlerhaus Bethanien is a non-profit organization that has earned a worldwide reputation for its international residency studio program, giving 25 artists from around the world residencies at their fully appointed facility in the heart of Berlin's vibrant art scene. It aims to establish a lively dialogue between artists from various backgrounds and disciplines and the public at large.
This is the second year that Blue Star Contemporary has offered the residency opportunity to local artists. Artists were chosen by jury review of their applications. Blue Star Contemporary plans an exhibition featuring the inaugural group of resident artists, Richard Armendariz, Cathy Cunningham-Little, Karen Mahaffy, and Vincent Valdez, in March 2015 for Contemporary Art Month. "…How wonderful for all of us involved in making this residency possible that our hopes were more than fulfilled. All four artists came back raving about their experiences, how they are looking differently at creating art. For them there is a definite before and after Berlin. Their exhibition at Blue Star will allow a glimpse into this process," said Dr. Angelika Jansen, curator of the 2015 residency exhibition. A San Antonio resident who divides her time between Berlin and Texas, Jansen was instrumental in forming Blue Star's partnership with the Künstlerhaus Bethanien.
"This residency has been by far, one of the most important residencies that I have had in my career… I am convinced that this extremely important experience is now one of San Antonio's most important opportunities for its local artists," said January 2014 resident artist Vincent Valdez.
The 2014-15 Blue Star Contemporary Berlin Residency Program is made possible in part by the support of City of San Antonio Department for Culture and Creative Development, 1010 South Flores Lofts and 1111 Austin Highway Lofts, Ann and Bill FitzGibbons, Ruth Chang and Russell Nadeau, and Ruiz-Healy Art.
Supporters of the 2013 - 2014 cycle of the program included:
City of San Antonio Office for Cultural and Creative Development, the University of Texas San Antonio, Palo Alto College and 1010 South Flores Lofts and 1111 Austin Highway Lofts.
Artist Testimonies
"This residency has been by far, one of the most important residencies/trips that I have had in my career. Berlin has been an instant influence in terms of evaluating the role that my work plays in a new and foreign environment. This experience has in a very short time, pushed me to approach new concepts which I have been seeking for sometime now. It has also prepared me to finally pursue new formats of creating work when I return home. I am eager to begin several sculptures and have already made plans to begin this work when I return.
"Most of all, the access to Berlin Museums has been extraordinarily important. I have spent every weekend roaming the museums for entire days at a time until closing. Viewing thousands of various works has reignited a fuse in me and i find that it fuels me during the week as I work meticulously on my own images.
"And finally, this Berlin residency has provided me with the ultimate gift, which is to be able to focus without distraction in the studio. This residency provides the artist with the necessary facilities, the time, and with the inspiration and learning experience of being in an amazingly creative and extremely active environment. I am convinced that this extremely important experience is now one of San Antonio's most important opportunities for its local artists. Over the course of my career, I had the privilege of attending various prestigious art residencies such The Skowhegan School of Painting, The Vermont Studio Center, etc. The Bethanian Residency has provided me so much more in terms of learning experience. On many levels, this opportunity and experience have altered my perceptions and possibly my future. San Antonio, The SA Art Community and Bluestar MUST keep this residency going for future artists."
—Vincent Valdez, Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum resident at Kunstlerhaus Bethanian, January 15 – April 8, 2014
"As for the residency program itself, I have nothing but glowing words and great thanks for the opportunity to experience this episode of creative flow! This was a window of opportunity to expand beyond my normal parameters of work. I feel that learning about the history and culture of Berlin was an immeasurable gift and just as important as working within the studio. My creative impulse was stimulated by the artwork, galleries, and variety of artists that I met and I feel that my artwork has become liberated. New horizons have appeared.
"The residency introduced me to a curator that I was invited to meet again in London, gave me the courage to speak to another curator that I met in London, and encouraged a visit with a writer and curator that had good feedback to work with. The chance to meet other artists within and outside of the residency community was a profound experience, and a connection to new friendships.
"It is difficult to express my gratitude for this emancipating time. I sincerely hope that the program can continue. Without this residence I am doubtful that I could've come close to seeing how competent, hardworking, and opportunity driven artists and galleries are in other parts of the world."
—Cathy Cunningham-Little, Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum resident at Kunstlerhaus Bethanian, October 15, 2013 – January 8, 2014
"My work will forever be changed. The parks and architecture facades are covered with Greek and Roman mythology. It is ubiquitous in Berlin. I was amazed how Berliners don't even see it anymore. Like so many beautiful and historical images washing over them like so much rain. Myth and mythology, oral tradition and how that shapes our culture and identity is what some of my work is about. Another aspect was the repurposing of war machines and evidence of conflict in Berlin. Tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and evidence of war torn Berlin are everywhere—from the bullet holes in the monuments to the Soviet architecture.
"In short, this was an amazing trip—a life-changing experience because of my exposure to the mix of cultures, art and architecture in a very dynamic city. I had the time to experiment and produce a small body of work."
—Ricky Armendariz, Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum resident at Kunstlerhaus Bethanian, July 15, 2013 – October 8, 2013

Acute pancreatitis is sudden swelling and inflammation of the pancreas.
The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach that produces chemicals called enzymes, which are needed to digest food. It also produces the hormones insulin and glucagon. Most of the time, the enzymes are only active after they reach the small intestine.
When these enzymes become active inside the pancreas, they digest the tissue of the pancreas. This causes swelling, bleeding (hemorrhage), and damage to the organ and its blood vessels. This condition is called acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis affects men more often than women. Certain diseases, surgeries, and habits make you more likely to develop this condition. The two most common causes of pancreatitis in the United States are heavy alcohol use and gallstones.
Alcohol use is responsible for up to 70% of cases in the United States. Acute pancreatitis typically requires 5 to 8 drinks per day for 5 or more years. Gallstones are the next most common cause. The condition develops when the gallstones travel out of the gallbladder into the bile ducts, where they block the opening that drains the common bile duct and pancreatic duct (ampulla). Genetics may be a factor in some cases. Sometimes, the cause is not known.
Other conditions that have been linked to pancreatitis are:
Other causes include:
The main symptom of pancreatitis is pain felt in the upper left side or middle of the abdomen. The abdominal pain :
People with acute pancreatitis often look ill and have a fever, nausea, vomiting, and sweating.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include:
The doctor will do a physical exam, which may show:
Lab tests that show the release of pancreatic enzymes will be done. These include:
Other blood tests that can help diagnose pancreatitis or its complications include:
Imaging tests that can show inflammation of the pancreas include:
Treatment often requires a stay in the hospital. It may involve:
A tube may be inserted through the nose or mouth to remove the contents of the stomach (nasogastric suctioning). This may be done if vomiting and severe pain do not improve, or if a paralyzed bowel (paralytic ileus ) develops. The tube will stay in for 1 - 2 days to 1 - 2 weeks.
Treating the condition that caused the problem can prevent repeated attacks.
In some cases, therapy is needed to:
In the most severe cases, surgery is needed to remove damaged, dead or infected pancreatic tissue.
Avoid smoking, alcoholic drinks, and fatty foods after the attack has improved.
Most cases go away in a week. However, some cases develop into a life-threatening illness.
The death rate is high with:
Pancreatitis can return. The chances of it returning depend on the cause, and how well it can be treated. Complications of acute pancreatitis may include:
Repeat episodes of acute pancreatitis can lead to chronic pancreatitis .
Call your health care provider if:
You may lower your risk of new or repeat episodes of pancreatitis by taking steps to prevent the medical conditions that can lead to the disease:

Glanville's journey
Growing up playing Strat-O-Matic, waffle ball and stick ball, Doug Glanville learned to love the game of baseball from his brother.
"I give a lot of credit to my brother for teaching me the game and developing a passion for the game that I still have today," said Glanville.
With his slight frame and athletic build, fans could easily believe that this was the same player who stole 168 bases during his nine-year major league career. Glanville will show off that speed when he takes the field along with six Hall of Famers and 20 other former major leaguers for the Hall of Fame Classic on Sunday.
But on Friday, fans got to listen to Glanville share stories from his life and career that are written in his book, The Game from Where I Stand: A Ballplayer's Inside View during an Authors' Series event at the Hall of Fame.
Glanville, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an engineering degree which he finished up after being drafted his junior year of college, currently writes a column for the New York Times called "Heading Home," works for ESPN and is on the Executive Board of Athletes Against Drugs. He played for the Cubs, Phillies and Rangers from 1996-2004.
"Heading Home" was really a human column that gained a lot of positive feedback and sparked the book deal. The book focuses on real elements like Glanville playing through his father's illness and the transition that ballplayers make when they finish their career and go back to the real world.
"That transition is the moment you realize the game is no longer an option, or you choose to make a change form what everyone around you knows you for," said Glanville. "I like to say it is when chasing the dream becomes running from the nightmare. And for ballplayers retirement happens at like 34 or 35, so they have to mature a lot faster in a kid's game."
Glanville has successfully made that transition. He will be chasing around his 3-year-old at home when he hears from friends that are still in the game.
"My challenges are a little different from Jimmy Rollins – who is trying to hit a slider," he said.
Now, Glanville wants to see the human element come back to baseball. And on Father's Day, he will entertain the crowd with his skills for families to enjoy.
"My goal is to share my human experience. So inspire people by being human," he said. "That is the best thing about this game, you don't have to be a superhero to play it – it can give everyone possibility."
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
