Diagnostic laparoscopy is a procedure that allows a healthcare provider to look directly at the contents of a patient's abdomen or pelvis.
Alternative Names
Laparoscopy – diagnostic
How the test is performed
The procedure is usually done in the hospital or outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia (while you are asleep and pain-free). However, very rarely, this procedure may also be done using local anesthesia. This numbs only the area affected by the surgery and allows you to stay awake.
A surgeon makes a small cut below the belly button (navel) and inserts a needle into the area. Carbon dioxide gas is passed into the abdomen to expand the area. This gives the surgeon more room to work, and helps the surgeon see the organs more clearly.
A tube is placed through the cut in your abdomen. A tiny video camera (laparoscope) goes through this tube and is used to see the inside of your pelvis and abdomen. More small cuts may be made if other instruments are needed to get a better view of certain organs.
If you are having gynecologic laparoscopy, dye may be injected into your cervix area so the surgeon can better see your fallopian tubes.
After the exam, the gas, laparoscope, and instruments are removed, and the cuts are closed. You will have bandages over those areas.
How to prepare for the test
Do not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the test. You must sign a consent form.
How the test will feel
If you are given general anesthesia, you will feel no pain during the procedure. The surgical cuts may throb and be slightly painful afterward. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to relieve pain.
With local anesthesia, you may feel a prick and burning sensation when the local anesthetic is given. The laparoscope may cause pressure, but there should be no pain during the procedure.
Afterward, you may also feel soreness at the site of the surgical cut. Your doctor may prescribe a pain reliever.
You may also have shoulder pain for a few days. The gas used during the procedure can irritate the diaphragm, which shares some of the same nerves as the shoulder. You may also have an increased urge to urinate, since the gas can put pressure on the bladder.
You will recover for a few hours at the hospital before going home. You will probably not stay overnight after a laparoscopy.
You will not be allowed to drive home. Someone should be available to pick you up after the procedure.
Why the test is performed
Diagnostic laparoscopy helps identify the cause of pain or a growth in the abdomen and pelvic area. It is done if x-rays or ultrasound results are unclear.
The procedure may also be done instead of open surgery after an accident to see if there is any injury to the abdomen.
Laparoscopy may be done before procedures to treat cancer (such as surgery to remove an organ), to find out whether the cancer has spread. If it has spread, treatment will change.
Normal Values
There is no blood in the abdomen, no hernias, no intestinal obstruction, and no cancer in any visible organs. The uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are of normal size, shape, and color. The liver is normal.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to a number of different conditions, including:
- Adhesions
- Appendicitis
- Endometriosis
- Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis)
- Ovarian cysts or cancer of the ovary
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Signs of injury
- Spread of cancer
- Tumors
- Uterine fibroids
What the risks are
There is some risk of infection. You may get antibiotics to prevent this complication.
There is a risk of puncturing an organ, which could cause the contents of the intestines to leak. There may also be bleeding into the abdominal cavity. These complications could lead to immediate open surgery (laparotomy).
Diagnostic laparoscopy may not be possible if you have a swollen bowel, fluid in the abdomen (ascites), or you've had a past surgery.

There's been a breach of state borders in Chicago recently. Montana has invaded.
"I've seen them on the train, and then on the bus, and there's a big billboard, it's somewhere over by Lou Malanati's over there off Lincoln," said Lincoln Park resident Jordhan Briggs. "They're everywhere."
Chances are plenty of Chicagoans have noticed them too--the large billboards featuring a photo of a bear in a creek, or one of Glacier National Park's scenic mountain views. That's by design, explained Katy Peterson, consumer marketing manager for Montana's Office of Tourism.
A Montana tourism campaign started three years ago with about a $300,000 budget in Chicago, Peterson said. The next year, that spending jumped to $800,000. The total for the most recent year is around $1 million.
"We were in Chicago in a really kind of small way in 2009, but really kind of blew [advertisements] up in spring of 2010," Peterson said. "A lot of advertising is on the sides of buses, and the double-decker tour buses, and buses and train routes, and at the stations, and on bulletin boards."
Chicago is one of four cities--along with Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Seattle --Montana's Office of Tourism has decided to hone in on, with Chicago's portion eating up about 40 percent of of the total spending in those markets.
Illinois as a whole tied for eighth place in out-of-state visitors in 2010, with about three percent of the more than 10 million of Montana's tourists hailing from Illinois. California leads the pack at nine percent, with Washington one point behind.
But what really sticks out, Peterson explained, is the first-time visitors.
In the summer of 2010, 13 percent of first-time vacationers to Montana came form Illinois--good for the highest percentage.
"What our research shows is, once someone comes to Montana the very first time, 86 percent of them are likely to return in the next two years," she said. "It's a really good strategy for us to focus our dollars into getting someone here for the first time, because data shows they are likely to repeat."
Chicago is also littered with the group's target audience, dubbed the geo-traveler by Peterson.
"Demographically and psycho-graphically, the geo-traveler is highly educated, travels at least three times a year out of state, has a real interest in authentic places," Peterson said. "People who are really looking for--and place a premium on--nature, getting off the beaten path and seeing what a destination really has to offer, instead of picking a box off a list. People who really want to immerse themselves in the travel experience. Montana can really provide that."
To attract a geo-traveler's attention, the ads go all-natural: Real photos (not photo-shopped, Peterson noted) of wildlife and the unique natural landscapes offered in both Yellowstone and Glacier National Park, destinations Peterson described as the state's "Ace cards."
Played against the glass, brick and metal of Chicago's paved streets, they certainly stand out.
"I never really thought about Montana as a vacation destination," Briggs said while waiting for the bus. "So it's interesting. It looks pretty."
19-year-old Samantha Rydin sees Glacier National Park every day, out her window, on the billboards across the street.
"I'd go to Montana after seeing those," she said. "It looks relaxing, and pretty. Different than here. So it'd be nice to get away."
That's exactly what Peterson and her colleagues are counting on. Their response: It'd be nice to have you.

I see sometimes loop forms written as follows.
- Code: Select all
(loop :for x :from 1 :to 10 :collect x)
Why do some people prefix the loop keywords with a colon?
Is this required by some implementations?
The hyperspec insists on the fact that "Loop keywords are not true keywords."
So why does the use of true keywords actually work?
Also I am not sure to understand how these keywords are implemented.
May be someone can provide a simple macro using such a keyword, for example
an if form that takes a "then" keyword?

TeliaSonera and their Norwegian subsidiary, Netcom, are pretty much dropping Ragnorok onto Scandinavians who dared hope for reasonable price plans, but how about Finland?
Small plans start at €31.69 for 100 min, 100 SMS, and 100 MB of data, with €159 for an 8GB handset and €385 for 16GB.
Large plans are €89.99 for 1000/1000/1000, with a €1 8GB and a €85 16GB.
US$142 for 1GB of data?
But wait, there's more! Denmark gets only one (1) plan, DKK 599 for 300 min., unlimited SMS, and a paltry 300 MB of data, with DKK 1399 for an 8GB handset and DKK 1999 for a 16GB. Six months later, however, the price will drop to DKK 399, just to add to the confusion.
That's US$128 for 300MB of data for the first six months, and US$85 thereafter.
EPIC FAILURE there for the Scandinavians.
Can the Swiss offer some Euro-redemption?
Swisscom's Small plan kicks off at CHF 25 for CHF 0.68 hourly talk rate and 100MB of data, with an 8GB handset for CHF 245 and 16GB for CHF 243.
Large plans play out at CHF 55 for CGF 0.49 hourly talk rate and 1000MB of data, with a CHF 99 handset at 8GB, and CHF 199 for 16GB.
That's topping out at US$54 for 1GB... Nowhere near as bad as their neighbors to the north, but not unlimited. Is there some rule that says the colder you get, the worse the telcos rip you off?

I have a request for Clara Jones who wrote the letter, "Adams says he will represent entire district," that was published in the April 30 edition of The Lancaster News. Adams said only the tea party is being represented in Congress.
Obviously, Jones agrees with Adams. And I would like for Jones to explain to Lancaster residents exactly what you disagree with in regards to the tea party.
Make sure you can back up any statements you make. It will be interesting to see what you say.
It's perversely ironic for rancher Cliven Bundy to excoriate poor people for collecting government subsidies, while ripping off the federal government of a million dollars in grazing fees. But, even if he were to pay up, Bundy and his fellow ranchers, would still be living on government welfare.
According to the Center for Biological Diversity, livestock grazing is subsidized by federal agencies on public land in 11 western states to the tune of nearly $300 million annually.
My wife has accused me of liking animals more so than people. If this is true, the reason is that I see the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals commercials and we have gotten two cats from the SPCA shelter in Aiken, which has many pets for adoption.
I see these animals and it makes me very sad to think no one wants these lovable pets. If I could, I would take all of them.
On Thursday, April 17, the Lancaster County Democratic Party had a special guest at its meeting in downtown Lancaster. Fort Mill Councilman Tom Adams spoke to the group about the upcoming congressional race.
Adams, 55, is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 5th Congressional District in South Carolina. He will be facing incumbent Mick Mulvaney. A longtime member of First Baptist Church in Fort Mill, Adams has served on the town council for six years.
The Carolinas Literacy Network closed its doors on April 25.
For eight years, with the mission of giving people the skills to become life-long learners, CLN has provided training, equipment, materials, technical support, administrative support and marketing support to our member agencies, all with the goal of increasing literacy and engaging our community.
Carolinas Literacy Network began as the Lancaster Area Literacy Cooperative in 2006, created by the J. Marion Sims Foundation.
South Carolina is nearly a thousand miles from Boston, Mass. But we, too, were shaken by the events of April 15, 2013.
Two homemade bombs exploded in the midst of the Boston Marathon, killing three spectators, shattering the lives of dozens of others, and casting a pall of sadness over one of America's proud traditions.
Thanks to Lancaster County District 1 Councilman Brian Carnes for his documentary on roads which appeared in the April 20 edition of The Lancaster News.
I sorta chuckled when he mentioned that County Council ain't responsible for dealing with road stuff.
Seems it all comes back to South Carolina's low tax levy on gasoline.
The educational process can be very demanding. If a student misses a key concept in any course, the ability to catch up is difficult, sometimes impossible.
This is especially true for mathematics. Students may be ashamed or embarrassed to ask for help. Finding the appropriate tutor may be difficult and too expensive for many families.
Phil Noble's article, "A scorned S.C. hero," on April 18, is an article with a lot of information missing. This scorned hero, federal Judge Julius Waites Waring, he wrote about was a longtime Democrat, who actually became a Republican in his ideology and actions.
If you enjoy driving in a maze, then you need to travel Riverside Road from Meeting Street to S.C. 5. It's a true challenge, and you'll be lucky if your car is still in one piece.

Scooter, the only thing I've lost is a little bit of my desire to be civil, because
1) I don't think the opposition is playing nice, or has even bothered to pay lip service to any ideas that include a boat basin with a cable park
2)Your most defensible argument rests on
what is at best a half-truth
: that many, many people have used the boat basin on a regular basis for a prolonged period of time. It's simply. Not. True. Did you increase use this summer? Yes. Is that indicative of historical use? No.
I literally just got back from the boat basin. Was there between 6 and 7 when I dropped my board in, and close to eight when I took it out. My arrival was during prime paddling time. Let's take a look at how many people were using the basin.
What? You can't see any? I"ll tell you. 2 paddlers on the water, 2 in the parking lot, and some people sailing toy boats in a small 50x50' area. And guess what? They were all using the north end of the basin - the area left *open* by the cable park.
Sharing, Scooter. It can happen.
youwindsurf: Pretty sure there wasn't any "character assassination" in that post. Did I chide a group of people I believe hold a poorly informed and selfish viewpoint? Absolutely - and they've done the same to me!There's room for everybody - I can see it, why can't you? Show me one instance where an opponent has said "Well, I could see a cable park in the boat basin if...." None. Nothing. Nada.
Most of you know me in person, because I'm one of the few people (Derek included) who clearly post here under my own name. Most of you realize I'm pretty damn reasonable. And if this thing fails, will you see me paddling in the basin? Sure. I did it before. I'll do it again. But you'll never convince me that 1) There aren't other places to paddle and 2)More people would have more fun with a cable park in the boat basin.
As to why you had 33 speakers at the meeting to our 15: we encouraged people on the proponent's side to give the port credibility in understanding the issues, and not waste time with repeated or unnecessary testimony. I regret that our side was not more vocal. You guys have clearly illustrated that making a lot of noise helps.
Edit: I know the pictures are upside down. iPhone sensor must be wonky. You get the point. Basin = not crowded.

Im sorry you don't think we are playing nice. We have given the number of use that we have recorded with our own eyes and from the three businesses that currently serve the public in the basin. We have done our best to be accurate and even conservative in our numbers. I don't recall ever claiming that the basin is used all day every day of the week in all types of weather. Thats silly. However, all you have to do is look at the new waterfront park to see how how improved access to the basin will result in even more use. I like the fact that the basin isn't an amusement park right now filled with people.
And you are right that we do not have a vision of the basin that includes the cable park. I'm pretty sure that is the whole point of our opposition. We are against it not for it. Don't try to smear us because we are not for it. I am also not for a casino being built there. I'm not interested in "sharing" the basin with a casino for the sake of "sharing". That is called a red herring argument.
Historical use? We are looking into the future as well as current use. Historically there were few if any kiters here in the gorge. SUP is the fastest growing watersport in the world. You of all people should know that without a beginner space to learn its tough to grow a sport like that in a community.
Again, you will see the majority of use in the North end of the basin because that is where the access is. It's not rocket science. When the south end is has a nice grass lawn you will see more people at that end. It will only get more popular and more used. We are planning for that future as well. I don't want our community to look at an amazingly improved basin with public access on the south and west bank only to be excluded to the vast majority of the basin due to a cable park.
I have yet to hear any ideas from you about shrinking the cable park and sharing the south and west ends of the basin where the improvements will take place. My ears are open but I can tell you that if a bunch of cell phone like towers are involved we won't be for it.
no one has ever said there are "no other places to paddle" What we are saying is that there are no other places that have the unique benefits and characteristics of the basin that make it a very desirable, safe, out of the current and wind place to be. The hook has windsurf schools and lots of wind with no wind blocks and is not right in the center of town. The marina is filled with boats. The new waterfront park beach is small and maxed out already signifying a need for more parks like that. There are no Hood River waterfront places like the basin that are better for staying out of the wind and current where parents can feel completely safe to let their kids play.
As far as your showing at the port meeting I have no idea why you failed to rally many speakers. You have had more than a year to plan for this.
To suggest that making noise helps is patronizing. That suggests that we don't have any good points and discredits you as an objective thinker. I know your side has some good points...just not enough to convince me that this is the right thing to do. We have some very smart people working with on this and to say we haven't looked into what we are talking about is silly.
We have all seen what a cable park is. Youtube has plenty of videos for those who have not seen them in person. They look boring and cluttered in my opinion and do not belong in a National Scenic area or in the Columbia river.

Long time listener, first time caller....
One group doesn't want a cable park. Another group does. Both groups are members of the same community of which the port is trying to make a decision on behalf of. We might not agree with each other, but we do have to live with each other.
That's really all that is relevant at this point...
-Oh, and one group has publicly threatened the port to litigate if the port doesn't vote in their favor. That is relevant also.
-Oh, and there's plenty of room for both groups on the waterfront, but one group doesn't see it that way. I guess that is relevant too.
-Oh, the opposing group feels that the public has a right to use the water above privately owned land. This could be the most legally relevant if true.
After we respect and consider each others opinions, that leads us to the Public Use Doctrine. This really should not be brought up unless you are a lawyer or have fully read and understood this at the very least:
I am not a lawyer, but I have read this and others and the formal attorney generals legal opinion on the matter. After reading this material, it is pretty apparent that under only certain conditions would the PU Doc apply and grant public ownership of the waterway. Are these conditions met? I don't believe so, but again that is up to either the DSL or courts to decide officially if needed. I can tell you however, that if it were straight forward, the Port would have been advised on this A LONG TIME AGO. They have a very smart and respectable attorney advising them. Seriously people, do you think this had not been considered before on this project or other projects in the ports lap?
Coming in this forum and stating that the Public Use Doctrine empirically grants the public the right to the water in the Basin and even denies the idea of putting a cable park in the Basin is either disingenuous or naive.
It frustrates me to see people make such careless claims in regards to a serious issue and then others just blindly follow. If brought to court, I do not know what the ruling would be. This case is special and complicated. Anyone who cares to take at least 10-30 min out of their day to read will see this.
I am for the cable park. I agree with Josh's points. I too share in his frustration. I am a part of ReCreate. I live, work and play in Hood River full time. I will be here after this is done to help make recreation in Hood River better.
Thank you,

Easy for you to say that " under only certain conditions would the PU Doc apply and grant public ownership of the waterway". Let's hear specifically what those conditions are. Do you know what they are? Where have you heard anyone talk about "public ownership of the water"? Do you know the difference between "use" and "ownership". Does the Port "Own" the water?
Yes I agree, the Port does have a very smart and respectable attorney advising them. Do you know what they have advised the Port? Well, in a Legal Memorandum to the Port, the attorneys have advised that "If the Public Use Doctrine applies, a private entity likely could not exclude the public from the basin". Furthermore, "Oregon courts traditionally find in favor of public access over exclusive private use of natural resources".
So, to find out if the Public Use Doctrine applies, the opponents to the cable park have asked the Port of Hood River to JOIN THEM in seeking a declaratory judgment from the court. According to the Port's lawyers, this action "may be necessary to determine the applicability of the Public Use Doctrine to the Basin."
The opponents to the cable park are not "threatening litigation". The opponents are seeking a judicial clarification of the doctrine as it applies to the basin. We believe there is substantial evidence in case law and historical fact to support public use of the Columbia River waters in the basin and that the court will ultimately decide in our favor.

We have one group who doesn't want an amusement park ride built in the Columbia river
Then we have another group, backed by a million dollar corporation from out of town who thinks that is really cool.
Quit getting frustrated and stop being so shocked that people actually disagree with you.
The Ports own attorney as well as a handful of other attorneys we have spoken to have stated that this is a gray area legally right now in Oregon. States around the country are dealing with this as corporations are pushing the limits of public water ownership. Public waters are one of the last truly publicly owned resources we have. The courts will decide this not a group on a forum.
You have accused us of legal threats......Please sight those "threats" and back up what you have said.
Go back and re read phazzles last post. There is a difference between a threat and asking a court for legal clarification.
Good luck to you and keep on fighting for what you believe in.
We will do the same.

Mama always said two wrongs don't make a right. Just because you feel that some people have "done the same to me" does not mean you have to resort to the same tactics. From my reading of your posts, anyone who does not agree with your view point is: selfish, uninformed, old, narrow minded, entitled, a gamer, a liar, duplicitous, and possessing a mob mentality (these are your words, not mine - read your posts). I oppose the cable park and you have described me as possessing all of the negative traits set forth above, yet you know nothing about me.
If you read my posts, I stated that if the Developer would make the cable park free to all citizens, I would consider changing my view. That is not nada. Let me say it again for you: Well, I could see a cable park in the boat basin if...wait for it...here it is again...are you ready?...it were free of charge for all citizens.
I also learned that a person was not necessarily bad just because you did not agree with him, and that if you believed in something, you had better be prepared to defend it.
― Hillary Rodham Clinton
You paint those who disagree with you as having negative character traits. I do not think the same of you. You have a strong opinion. I commend you for that, but I disagree with you and you cannot expect me to accept what you believe because you simply say it is so.

Post subject: I have an idea...
Just a thought..... Lets build up the gorge with soo many hotels and fun parks and bars and kooks and box stores and coffee shops and we can build build build build to infininty. It will be epic for real estate values and employment and we can all get rich..... YES... Then when we finally get fed up with the traffic, trash, poor water quality kooks everywhere we can just pick up and leave. We were never from here anyway.
Just think how epic the gorge would be if every development went through. We would have casinos, 250 homes at the hatchery, cable parks paris hilton would fly in and shake her ass at the new Hilton. Mega coal trains spilling money thru every town. Floridated water sooo thick we could have frootloops with cocacola for every breakfast. Not just a super walmart A SUPER SUPER walmart. Our lives would be soooo much radder in every way. Oh the glory. Trophy wives would quite L.A. and move to Hood River.... I want I want I need I need. More more more...... YEEeeeeSSSS.... I'm jizzing in my pants.....

Driveshaft Management And Parts Life-Ing Procedures
In our previous articles on the racing driveshaft, Driveshaft 101 (Dec. '07) we examined the environment that the driveshaft operates in and the materials and components from which a driveshaft is built. In Driveshaft 102 (Jan. '08), we discussed the basics of measuring the driveshaft and inspecting it for damage.
Now let's discuss the concept of driveshaft management and how we can apply Formula 1 and NASCAR team parts management techniques to your race car to prevent failures on a $5 budget. We'll look at why the racing driveshaft needs regular replacement, how NASCAR teams manage their driveshaft needs and how you can use their methods to improve the reliability of your race car and win more often on Saturday night.
The driveshaft in your pick-up truck is designed to give many years of dependable service on the street. The street driveshaft is constructed of robust thick tubing and is capable of handling occasional massive loads at low shaft speeds. But most of its life is spent with little stress just going to the grocery store. It's unlikely to ever need full replacement.
If it needs servicing, typically only after 100,000 miles of hard use over a period of 10 years, it will start making noises that will eventually get your attention. At worst, if it eventually fails, you will probably just have a long walk home.
The driveshaft in your race car is also built to give dependable service in its normal application, but its design criteria are entirely different. The racing driveshaft is constructed of thin wall tubing and each component is carefully selected for light weight. This combination of features is better for smooth and efficient high-speed operation.
The racing driveshaft requires regular inspection and routine replacement because it spends its life constantly at high loads and high speeds. Catastrophic failure of the racing driveshaft will result in a wrecked race car and possibly serious driver injury or death.
When most of these situations occur, the result is called a driveshaft emergency or 911. Regardless of the reason, the need for a replacement driveshaft is normally evident just before the team has to leave for the next session, race, test, or appearance and pandemonium ensues until the problem is resolved. If two or more of these situations occur in a week, even the best teams can be brought to their knees.
At its basic function, the driveshaft is a simple connector linking the transmission to the rearend. But without one in place, the car slows dramatically. The strongest engine or the trickest suspension setup will not overcome a driveshaft problem. Any vibration that the driver feels will sap his confidence and reduce him to just driving around, hoping he can stop before it blows up and he crashes. He becomes totally non-competitive and wimpy. So driveshaft management is an important part of driver management that every team must plan for.
At the professional level, a multi-car NASCAR team will compete each week with two to four transporters in the garage area at the track carrying primary and back-up cars for each car number. Each of those cars will arrive complete with a driveshaft installed. Additional driveshafts will be carried on each transporter as spare parts and there may be an extra shaft stowed on each team's pit crash cart for in-race emergencies. The total number of driveshafts on-site on race day numbers in the hundreds.
But most of those driveshafts will be of different lengths with specific slip yokes to suit each team's engineering combination. A team must plan to have enough of its specific shafts on-site to overcome any problems. The trackside parts truck or the local parts store will not have a suitable replacement. Missing a race because some one forgot to load enough spare driveshafts is not an option.
In earlier years, each car was uniquely configured for a specific track type (i.e., speedway, intermediate, short track, road course) and driveshafts were specifically fitted for each chassis and kept with that car. As the teams grew to have dozens of cars, this system became expensive and unmanageable.
Now, with the transition to the Car of Today (COT), most teams have settled down to one or two combinations and more effort has been focused on individual driveshaft inspection and replacement. Each team's driveshaft combination is a closely held secret because the details can tell the opposition many things about the parts selection, chassis configuration, and tuning philosophies.
Driveshaft inventory management is the responsibility of a team's gear room. Each major team has dedicated gear room staff who prepare, service and coordinate the drivetrain systems for each car for each event. They maintain extensive usage records on each component, called "life-ing," so that individual parts with high mileage can be identified and removed from service before they cause a failure.
After each race, the used cars are disassembled and the drivetrain components are returned to the gear room for inspection. As driveshafts gradually accumulate mileage throughout their projected life, they are specifically designated for use in other less critical events like testing or show cars. Ultimately, when they have reached a pre-determined limit, they are rebuilt, sold, or discarded. No one ever earns a bonus for getting the last 50 miles of use out of a driveshaft before it fails.
At the Formula 1 level of professional motorsports, with teams constantly traveling worldwide, the parts life-ing and parts inventory management function is highly automated with elaborate computer programs, bar coding scanners and even radio frequency identification (RFID) scanners and chips. Every time each car turns a wheel, the mileage simultaneously accrues in the data record for each part being tracked on that car.
Parts location is an important element of these systems to determine if a specific part is currently installed on a primary or back-up car, somewhere on-site in a shipping container or halfway around the world back home in the shop. This operational information is continually updated by wireless links back to the factory.
The F1 parts management and life-ing programs are programmed to highlight specific parts that are approaching certain thresholds of use so that they can be scheduled for replacement, re-assigned to lower priority use or inspected more often. The parts supervisors back at the factory can see the locations and life remaining of all the replacement parts and select the best ones available to be in the right position to be used when scheduled. If new parts are needed, production orders are issued in real time to keep up with the team's needs. Massive resources of computers, communications, and personnel are required to maintain the system.
This computer technology is beginning to trickle down to the NASCAR teams, but the parts management and life-ing activity here is still done by paper record keeping and memory. The enormous number of cars and parts per NASCAR team make complete parts life-ing impractical. Most parts are considered expendable and retired from service due to crash damage before they reach their ultimate projected life. All replacement cars would be built with all new parts.
The arrival of the COT program and the current tight economic situation has changed the thinking of many teams on parts management. Each time a COT chassis is damaged or crashed, it's now often preferable to build a new chassis to better meet NASCAR's precise templates and incorporate the latest engineering updates. All of the used parts from the damaged car are transferred to the new chassis or recycled to become spare parts for other cars.
If there's any doubt of a parts age or quality, it is discarded. Replacement parts have become more complicated and expensive and production lead times have become longer. Anticipating what parts will need to be replaced has become a necessity. Dedicating team resources to parts management and life-ing is now considered very worthwhile in improving reliability and controlling costs.
A small team can learn from this professional approach and adapt these techniques to its simpler needs. Establishing a parts life-ing system in any team requires designating a conscientious crewmember as the parts life-ing coordinator. He or she must be willing to spend a few minutes each day to update the records and make them available for analysis.
This person should be a full-time worker who will be responsible for developing a logical numbering system, marking the appropriate parts and recording the parts changes as they are reported by other crewmembers. Each team member needs to understand why this process is important and help the coordinator keep the data accurate by calling out individual part changes as they are made. Having one person monitoring parts life-ing will help identify components that need inspection or are due to fail.
The most powerful tool in your pit box is the ubiquitous Sharpie. In the hands of your driver, it can make children smile and turn scrap into treasures. But, in the hands of your parts life-ing coordinator, it can give each part on the car a unique ID. The concept of unique ID is the fundamental principle of parts life-ing, because we want to track each part as it's installed, used, and removed so that we can assign its mileage to its record.
A unique ID can be as simple as "Part #12" or as complicated as a street car's VIN number with each digit representing specific information in coded form. The unique ID can be written, stamped, engraved, etched, or attached to the part. All that matters is that the marking is legible, hard to deface and it will survive in the environment of heat and solvents it will encounter.
A parts record can be as simple as an index card for each part, a small computer spreadsheet or as elaborate as an expensive software system. As we saw in Driveshaft 102, some teams just write each mileage directly on the driveshaft. The size of your team and capabilities of your crew will determine what is best for you. Start with a simple card system and then expand it as your needs grow into a loose-leaf notebook or a spreadsheet.
If you tried to record all the mileage you drove in your street car in a month, it would be a tedious task to make dozens of entries. But your race car and its parts may only be used once a week in several short sessions and your crew chief is probably already keeping a lap chart of every mile run.
The life-ing coordinator needs to be alert to any changes of the components he is monitoring. When a change occurs, he simply needs to note when the change was made and the unique ID of the old and new part. At the end of the event, he can review the crew chief's practice and lap charts and determine the appropriate mileage to assign to each part's record.
At its simplest, you can monitor a chassis, an engine, a transmission, or a driveshaft. The racing driveshaft is a great example for learning this process because it has high initial value, a reasonable projectable service life and dire consequences if it fails. Once you get the rhythm of the activity, your life-ing system can grow to monitor any parts that have a predictable service or replacement life.
Fuel pumps, alternators, quick-change gears, axles and driveshafts are all critical components that seem to fail suddenly and unexpectedly. Preventing any one of these failures is reason enough to implement this system. Parts like spark plugs, brake pads, and tires are replaced regularly anyway and don't need to be documented.
Establishing projected service life is something you are already doing routinely. All we need to do now is write the projections down and believe in them. Ask your suppliers, friends, and competitors for their advice. Inquire about any failures you see at the track and ask how old the part was. There aren't any right or wrong answers. The more information you gather, the clearer the guidelines will become.
The best time to implement your parts management life-ing system is now! The initial budget will be about $5 for Sharpies and index cards. A life-ing system that is several weeks behind current activities is worthless. A simple well-kept system for even one part can prevent disaster on a Saturday night. It's frustrating to fail a part once and drop out of a race. But it's maddening to fail the same part twice because you know you should have replaced it more often.
Ideally, if you just built a new car with all new components, the process will be easy and the records will be very accurate. For a used car, just estimate the current mileage for each part as best as you can from your memory and lap charts and start from there.
Conclusion Whether you implement a parts management and life-ing system just to monitor your driveshafts or expand it to cover other critical components, you will be taking a positive step toward preventing failures, overcoming aggravations, and smoothing the path to Victory Lane. This will be the best $5 you ever spent on your DSS (Decal Support System). And when you do win and your driver does that long smoky burn-out, please get your driveshaft checked afterwards. Driveshafts hate burn-outs!
Racing Driveshafts
Racing driveshafts are ordered for the following reasons:
* A new car is being built and needs a shaft fitted.
* The Crew Chief decided to move the engine back because no one is checking.
* The current shaft caused a vibration on the chassis dyno and must be replaced.
* The current shaft has been damaged in a crash and must be replaced.
* The Tech Guy checked and said to move the engine forward to where it belongs.
* The current shaft broke in the race and it and most of the car had to be replaced.
* The New Guy jacked the car up without looking where the jack pad was hitting.
The Best Reason Is:
* An active shaft has reached the end of its projected life and should be replaced.
Let's Review
Let's review the simple steps to establishing a parts life-ing system:
* Determine which parts are to be monitored
* Mark each part with a unique ID
* Create a data record for each part's ID
* Record accumulated mileage for each car as it is used
* Note any parts changes relative to when they occurred during prep or the event
* Update each part's data record regularly with its recorded mileage
* Establish maintenance or replacement intervals based on remaining life
* Identify and service or replace parts that are due to fail

Maybe everyone else on the planet knew about OSWD other than me. Regardless, here goes...
My brother-in-law, Matt Wagner, recently asked me to help him with his Web site. This was an interesting proposition, because I have not invested that much time learning about proper Web design (I never had to - I'm a database guy and we always had Carl and Marc for that kind of stuff). So I took this as an opportunity to actually learn something and I embraced the challenge. My brother-in-law already had his domain name, and he had a rough idea about the layout and the content that he wanted to put on his Web site, but he didn't know the first thing about HTML or how to propagate this information out to GoDaddy.
The last conversation I had with Carl was a week ago and I wanted to get his feedback about what I had done with Matt's Web site. Here is what pointed Carl to. I was so proud of myself, having figured out how to make some practical use of styles and also my over-the-top use of the effects from MooTools. Let me tell you - Carl laughed and laughed. He said the colors were odd, there was no contrast with the font and the background, the effects were funny, and he encouraged me not to use Serif fonts ("just not in style"). He also told me, with a chuckle, that I should start practicing jQuery and forget MooTools.
Carl did point me to the Open Source Web Design site and told me to pick one. For someone like me, who is artistically and graphically challenged, this site is a wealth of excellent templates and ideas. Needless to say, my second attempt at this, which we're continuing to iterate upon, is much, much better.

Halo of Andromeda Galaxy Used to Measure Its Drift Across Space
This composite image shows a region in the halo in the neighboring Andromeda galaxy that astronomers used to precisely measure the galaxy's sideways motion on the sky. This has allowed them to predict a direct collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way about 4 billion years from now.
The inset image on the left is from a 2002 Hubble Space Telescope deep exposure that captured the light from 300,000 stars in Andromeda's halo, a vast spherical cloud of stars surrounding the galaxy's bright disk. Embedded in the image are numerous background galaxies that are much father away than Andromeda.
Astronomers compared this region to pictures of the same area taken seven years later. They measured the tiny amount of sideways drift in the halo stars relative to the stationary background galaxy field. The same measurements were done for two other fields in the galaxy as well. This is similar to measuring the drift of a boat relative to a background shoreline.

Whether you're tracking your ski vert, trying to figure out what the clouds are up to, timing the miles of your marathon-training run, or choosing which way to head up the hiking trail, you can chart your course with the top-of-the-line Suunto Elementum Terra Altimeter Watch. Of course, this altimeter watch comes with basic time, date, and alarm functions; however, it also comes with everything else you could need to help you track your weather, altitude, and direction. Since this expansive functionality is all packed in a sturdy, well-crafted, stylish body, it's also a celebration of formal aesthetics.
The Elementum Terra's brain is the high-resolution, real-time altimeter, which gives you an accurate reading anywhere from 1600ft below sea level to 29,500ft. Basically, it works anywhere besides the moon. It stores data for up to eight separate laps, and it helps keep those laps on track with a built-in compass and a stopwatch. A barometer will keep you informed before the weather inevitably sours, but if your response is too push on into the teeth of the storm, the watch's water- and corrosion-resistant construction let you do it in confidence.
- A stylish altimeter watch that monitors the changing weather
- Tracks total ascent/descent for up to eight separate laps
- Tracks direction on trails and in the backcountry
- Monitors weather trends so you're not surprised by a deluge
- Steel case isn't afraid of a little rainstorm, though
- Stopwatch function ties time to distance
- LCD sapphire crystal display adds luxury to roughing it
- Backlight shines long after the sun has dropped below the horizon
- Item #SUN0224

Back light doesnât work
The watch is fine, but the backlight doesnât work. 200 plus bucks for a watch and the light doesnât work.
Positive is Perfect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My wife purchased this watch for me with a positive screen and black rubber band for $310 on sale, awesome price. The positive screen is a must based on others reviews. I can see it perfectly and get complements all the time. I hike, ski and mountaineer in CO (my home state) and wanted a watch with an altimeter, compass, weather indicator, but without having to rely on GPS or charging the watch. Satellite connections and charging required by other watches can create problems while mountaineering. This watch is perfect based its reliable and highly accurate functionality. Plus, it's easy to use.
Purchased this watch as a gift for my father. It's a low profile watch with functionality, durability, reliability and strength.

Not what I was looking for
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have the Suunto Elementum Terra and overall is a nice LOOKING watch. Things that I don't like: no seconds display (I should say that is a basic feature of a watch and is useful for the work that I am doing).
Also, is difficult to get the real altitude. I understand that the altitude value is related to the atmospheric pressure, but I noticed the altitude to jump from positive 380 m to negative 480 m and even over reading during several hours, without significant weather change.
I just don't know how would be able to find the true altitude when you are outdoor and don't have a reference point. Use the topographic map on your smart phone?...
Overall, I am not happy with my purchase. I would expect more from a watch at this price.
If Jack Bauer wore a Suunto
I have had my Suunto elementum terra for a while now, and although it is not AS feature rich as some of the other models, it shines with both its craftsmanship and style. I get many compliments on this watch and wear it with pride. And yes, I could see Jack Bauer sportin' this badboy... GREAT Watch

Suunto SUUNTO Elementum Terra Altimeter
simply unreadable
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I should have trusted the community on this - I just didn't think that a new watch could have such a basic flaw. I had the negative face, which may be the problem, but I simply could not read the dial unless lighting conditions were just perfect. Too little contrast. Shocked that Suunto would ship a product with a flaw this big. I really wanted to love this watch.
selling on ebay
ooook ive been wearing a suunto since they 1st came out and have always loveeeed the watch until i bought this 1.4 the prise of this watch ud xpect more out of it.there is no storm warning on it,u cant see the weather changing,i had the core b4 this one and wore it till the yellow was gone lol .do u research on this watch b4 u buy n hey if ya wanna buy mine let me know
Did you sell your watch?
The Elementum Terra Overview
_Time, date, alarm
The Elemetum Terra is an incredible watch that is easy to use and provides the following information. It also looks incredibly cool!!
_Barometric pressure & trend
_3D compass
_Cumulative ascent/descent
_Log: last 8 ascents/descents, max. altitude
Don't go hiking without it
Great design and quality.
This watch really helps you to measure how much altitude you still have to do. It records up to 8 trips. If weather conditions are stable the altimeter is very precise.
Only negative point is, that the manual is very short. most of the functions you have to find out for yourself by pressing the different buttons... for this one star less.
Suunto Elementum Terra
First off this watch is one of the nicest and most luxurious watches I have ever owned. With that being said it is rugged and ideal for the outdoorsman who works hard during the week and looks to escape to the outdoors on the weekends.
The Terra is one of the easiest to you use from the Suunto collection. It has two sensors in it, one for pressure and one is an electronic compass. The pressure sensor will give you the barometric pressure and altitude data. The compass is easy to access by one push of a button. Another great feature is the two time zones ideal for someone who travels a lot.
This watch is a must have for anyone who likes a little luxury mixed with great functions for outdoor use.
Great Job!
I've owned my elementum (rubber/negative) now for a couple of months and I am already MUCH more please with this than I have been with my previous Cores. I unfortunately was one of poor fools that bought the original batch of Core and because of the battery issues that so many of them had, I went through 4 of them before I finally got one that didn't have problems.
The elementum is not as feature rich as the Core is but this shouldn't be a deterrent. The things that you are sacrificing are minor features such as sunrise/sunset, depth meter, etc. On the other hand you are gaining some things that are major improvements. The upper dial is so easy to use and changing settings is much less frustrating. I love having immediate access to both the barometric reading as well as the altitude on the home screen of the display vs. having to scroll to get through it. Once you've been able to figure out the Log feature it becomes extremely efficient.
Overall, the user friendliness of this watch is very accommodating. I spent less than 15 minutes just playing with the buttons and sequences and was able to work out most of the features. The biggest gripe that I did have was the manual. Very little to go off of and finding other resources was just an annoyance.
The other review is displeased with the brightness of the negative face. A couple of different Cores that I tried we significantly dimmer and much harder to read. In comparison the elementum is much easier to read than the Core, however be aware, any watch with a negative style face will require more off an effort to read.
My favorite thing about the elementum watch is the look. First of all, it looks much better in person than the pictures give it credit for. Across the board, it will work in literally any situation that you're in. Whether you need a good church, board meeting watch, or if you want something that will bridge the gap between rugged and professional. Outdoors this watch has worked great. I've had it up in Uintahs multiple times and have yet to be let down.
My overall impression, FANTASTIC. It's is so much more settling to finally have a Suunto that is made in Finland vs. the Core that was "designed in Finland" but ultimately made in China.
Bravo SUUNTO. I was happy with the style of the Core but let down with its performance. For me this was redemption.
very dimly lit face
My wife just gave me this (rather expensive) very generous gift of a Suunto Elementum Terra Altimiter watch with the "Steel / Negative Face". I'm a fan of Suunto, and have been wearing a different model now for something like 3 years. She bought the Terra for me because of my past enjoyment of the other Suunto watch, and because I once told her about the new Elementum Suunto watches.
With all that said, it was very clear from the moment I powered up this watch that the display was unusually dim. I spent the first 15min with it attempting to see if there was some brightness adjustment (there is not), and then I spent the next 30min trying to determine if the batteries were low (they're fine). Through talking to bc.com folks and further reviewing marketing materials, it just seems like this is it. Do you see the picture above from bc.com of the "Steel / Negative Face Front"? Do you see anything on the face? No? Nor can I. If you change the angle of the face and get it under the correct lighting, you can eventually see the face digits. And, of course, there is a back light. The back-light button is shared by other functions and is time dependent though, so if you don't press and hold the button just right it won't light and will change the watch into another mode.
Because I like Suunto and I don't want to be so negative, I will say that their "Elementum" line has a nice appearance, that I'm sure the electronics are similar in accuracy and functionality compared to their other models, and that they are probably somewhat rare (they have priced them to be "exclusive", I'm guessing). The band is seemingly sturdy. I did not spend enough time operating it to get to know how user-friendly it was. Digital watches have a tendency to be somewhat non-intuitive. At first glance, this did not seem exceptionally intuitive either, but time would maybe tell differently.
In summary, this watch is way to expensive to only be so-so. If I got it for $200-$400, I might think it's OK, but would still not wear it much because of it's dim digits. I suppose there is a reason you never see these watches in stores; if you were to see it in person before taking it home, you wouldn't buy it.
You can actually adjust the contrast on this watch to get a brighter display:
1. Press the middle right button for 15 seconds, or until the screen goes blank.
2. The display will ask you if put the watch into Sleep Mode. Select YES with the rotating crown and confirm with the middle button.
3. After watch has entered sleep mode, press the upper right button for 5 seconds until the absolute pressure is shown.
4. Press the upper right button several times until 'contrast' is displayed.
5. Adjust the contrast by rotating the upper right button.
6. Press the upper right button to acccept the adjustment.
7. Press and hold the upper right button until the time is displayed.
I have mine set to 7 on the steel / negative face. All negative face watches are difficult to read in darker settings. I think you will be happer with the higher contrast setting though.
Another tip is if you hold the upper right two buttons at the same time you can lock the watch so that you won't accidentally put it into log mode. The light still works in this mode which is very cool.
My only gripe about the watch is the stop watch feature has a sort of "fake" 1/100 resolution. I.e., the stop watch only works to 1/10 resolution and not 1/100, recording values like 5.50, 6.60, 7.70, etc.
I have about 10 Suunto watches in the Vector and Core lines and this watch is my favorite. I also have the leather strap / positive face Elementum Terra and that also sees a lot of wrist time. The displays on the Elementum Line are just so cool to look at. Seems strange, because at the end of the day, it is just a digital watch, but the font they use is very nice.
Suunto Elementum Terra Watch Review

Is this watch overpriced?
I'm looking for a good watch for my father who I partner with on several week long excusions a year. I have been using the Garmin Tactix and love it. Am I missing something here? It doesn't look like this watch does anything more than mine, but costs almost twice as much.
Hello Jeremy,
If you are looking for a great quality watch you are looking at the right company; however, it is a bit expensive but you surely get what you pay for. I have used all models of Harmon, Timex, and Tom tom and found not of them even come close to Suunto's technology. If you want to come up somewhere in between price, performance, and value, check out the Suunto ambit 2 sapphire with HR. Hands down the best watch I have ever know. It still has features I never new about. I keep calling the technical support line to help me figure out all it can do with movescount.com.
Check it out!

Is it possible to order the amber rubber wristband model with shipping to Canada?
Hey Stody, thanks for your question. Unfortunately Suunto is a brand that can't be shipped outside the US due to vendor trade restrictions. Sorry for the bad news.
However if you have friends/family in the US, it is OK to purchase any of these products with an international credit card and have the product shipped to a US address. Then have your family/friend forward the package to you in Canada.

Hi, would like to check what is the longest duration which the watch can record for the culmulative ascent/descent function?
From the user manual, "The measurement stops and resets automatically when either the
maximum log duration (48 h) or the maximum ascent/descent value (19 800 m /
65 000 ft) is reached."

The Core has a screen lock - does anyone know if the Elementum series does? Haven't seen anything about it anywhere...
Suunto lists "button lock" as a feature. I assume that's the same thing.
Yes...you can lock the buttons by pushing the top two buttons at the same time.

Any one have an idea on the battery life? ... i have several solar and auto-wind and like the watch but not too thrilled about having to go back to changing a battery...
Suunto says about 9 months with average use, probably 9 months to a year with general timekeeping duties. The battery change is going to be a little more involved than say the Core or Vector, which can be done in the field. The Elementum will either need to go back to the dealer or a jeweler, or sent back to Suunto for a battery change. The caseback for the Elementum has four Torx screws holding it, rather than screwback, as other Suunto models.
The battery lasts around 18 months. I just had a battery replaced at a jewler...the charged my $20 and it took about 15 minutes.

Does the rubber band come with the positive face?
Not without a watch strap swap, I'm afraid. Backcountry carries the other straps (rubber, leather, steel) to swap or change strap types.
It does beginning April 2012.

Brendan DeMelle | September 30, 2009
By Brendan DeMelle • Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 09:49
The exodus continues. Nike announced today that the company simply cannot stand by and watch the Chamber of Commerce continue its campaign to derail much-needed action to address climate change. So Nike Just Did It.
Here is Nike's statement [PDF copy courtesy of NRDC here]:
As we've stated, we fundamentally disagree with the US Chamber of Commerce on the issue of climate change and their recent action challenging the EPA is inconsistent with our view that climate change is an issue in need of urgent action.
We believe businesses and their representative associations need to take an active role to invest in sustainable business practices and innovative solutions.
It is important that US companies be represented by a strong and effective Chamber that reflects the interests of all its members on multiple issues. We believe that on the issue of climate change the Chamber has not represented the diversity of perspective held by the board of directors.
Therefore, we have decided to resign our board of directors position. We will continue our membership to advocate for climate change legislation inside the committee structure and believe that we can better influence policy by being part of the conversation. Moving forward we will continue to evaluate our membership.
Nike's departure from the board of the U.S. Chamber amplifies the already strong signal sent by Exelon, PNM Resources and PG&E in recent days that the Chamber does not represent the mainstream corporate view on climate action. Disgusted over its antics on climate, PNM Resources dropped the Chamber of Commerce altogether, leaving both its position on the board and announcing plans to let its membership in the business lobby expire. PG&E also withdrew completely from the Chamber, and Exelon followed suit yesterday.
Today it is Nike's turn. Who will quit tomorrow and the next day until the Chamber gets the message that it does not speak for corporate America on this issue and should get out of the way?
Nike, PG&E, PNM Resources and Exelon – and no doubt several other major companies who still retain seats on the board or memberships with the Chamber - understand that climate change threatens their bottom line, and they want to see action to address that threat. By quitting the Chamber, they are taking a stand in favor of clean energy.
Who is next? Toyota, are you listening? How about Johnson & Johnson?
Good riddance Nike!
I can understand their problem. I am sure 99% of their customers are AGW cool aid drinkers. But for those wanting to see the fraud of the "warmists", check out the McIntyre story on the Yamal cherry picked warming,( http://www.climateaudit.org/ ) then read the real temperatures..
Simple check with station records around Yamal peninsula says no temperature hockey stick:
There is no hockey stick, no unprecedented warming, no trumpeted release of Siberian methane. How can climatologists present a reconstruction of temperature, which obviously does not agree with local temperature records?(hint.. you lie!)
Ben Lawson replied on Permalink
You accuse "the warmists" of cherry-picking fraud and then… offer six cherry-picked pieces of localised no-warming "proof"! Ooh, that's ironic.
McIntyre INTRODUCES bias, he doesn't remove it.
Prove your point or apologize
You have slagged S McIntyre.. he deserves better.
Either prove you statement or apologize.
Richard C replied on Permalink
We are still waiting for you
We are still waiting for you to prove yours.
Who is "we"
Are you a journalism student?
How about you explain
How about you explain McIntyre's reasoning in your own words, just to show that you understand his argument.
McIntyre proved bogus science.. TWICE
What part of that is hard to understand? The "Team" spouting alarmism are the scientific Bernie Madoffs! OK, you do not go to jail for scientific fraud, but thanks to Steve anyone with a brain can see through the cherry picking of data and the collusion to hide the bogus science from peer review.
In the end, the statement that the Medieval Warm Period was cooler than present, and that we are in "unprecedented" warming is false. When the IPCC put Manns hockey stick in its report and erased the MWP, they were guilty of using non peer reviewed "science". Here is a good summary for newbies..
I can safely predict that the cool aid drinkers on this blog will not read my reference, and if they did, their blinkers would not allow them to see the error of their "beliefs" in alarmism. No one disputes some warming due to CO2.. myself I expect about 0.5 C sensitivity. Not a big deal at all, compared to historical changes, such as occured in the last 10,000 years.
A Troubling Trend
When reading a review of the latest Richard Dawkins evolution book on ScienceMag, the reviewer told a troubling anecdote:
He was talking to a creationist, someone who denies evolution. He asked her how she explained the fossil hominid skeletons that scientists have found. She said that she did not believe they existed.
The astounding dismissiveness this person showed to basic fact is symptomatic of a troubling trend in society, one that is also displayed amongst agw denialists like the parent poster. Simply put, there is a growing population who have convinced themselves that they can adopt as facts pretty much anything they please. The moon launch? It was faked. 9-11? Explosives brought down the towers. Evolution? It is all part of an elaborate conspiracy to destroy the church. The holocaust? Some say it never happened.
What is common about the above delusional views is that proponents construct elaborate artifices to support their worldview. They create large numbers of quick "facts", each of which is difficult to quickly refute without specialist knowledge. They create movies linking together their arguments. They make museums purporting to show that dinosaurs walked alongside humans. They create social support groups so they will not feel that they are outcasts from regular society and so they will feel as if they are members of a special society, one that has discovered truths that no one else knows about.
The origins of this trend are complicated. It has been made easier by a slow decay in the level and respect for education. The tools of rationality and logic, of debate and discussion are increasingly neglected in some schools and settings. Popular culture is devoid of any real knowledge or insight. New TV stations that begin showing quality programming degenerate within a few seasons to showing ghost story documentaries.
Also, there is a line of thought amongst certain religious thinkers that rationality is an enemy of religion. Cardinal Ratzinger, before he became Pope Benedict, was heard to say something to the effect of that "the world had made a wrong turn because of Rene Descartes", implying that the enlightenment had taken God away from the centre of human life and had replaced Him with human reason. I am convinced that this line of thinking is widespread amongst certain right wing religious leaders.
How can we deal with this? Do you call these "believers" out, chastise them for being the fanatical indoctrinated idiots that they are? Or does that just back them into a corner. I met a guy at a party, seemingly intelligent, who honestly believed that the moon launch was faked. I really wasnt sure what to do.
As for the parent poster, he doesnt even understand the basics of science. He says that science has never "proven" agw, as if science can every prove anything. Science only disproves. And everything he says can easily be disproven.

Science - as long as it is
Science - as long as it is dispassionate inquiry is fine, but you can't deny that when raised up and worshiped also becomes some kind of God or religion - its limitations ignored, its high priests glorified and its laity class living in blind acceptance of everything passed down.
It's the way the human race does things and scientific institutions are not exempt.
What Science Is
Science, is really just our acceptance that when making assertions about the physical world, that we resolve disputes about who s statements are true by looking at the physical world. Since the physical world is complicated, it takes some effort and study to understand it. Those that accuse science of being a "religion" with blind acceptance expected from the "laity" are really in my opinion making a dishonest assertion. Those in the "laity" can and have learn the methods and ideas of science. The knowledge is out in the open. But it takes some effort, quite a bit of effort actually, to really understand the complex principles that govern the world. And if an individual does not have the time nor the inclination to properly pursue such knowledge, then that is fine. However that individual then has no right to make assertions of any certainty or reliability about scientific issues, since they do not understand what they are talking about.

Deserves better?
McIntyre has played a dishonest and antagonistic role in the public "debate" at every turn. I have nothing to apologise for and no need to prove it to you, regardless of your indignation.
However ten seconds of googling brought me to this illuminating passage: http://noconsensus.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/steve-mcintyres-ipcc-presentation/#comment-3230
Why is EdB tryinbg to defledct discussion from this post?
No one here cares about the nonsense spouted by denialist website climateaudit. The point is that corporations are facing facts and starting to hold their organizations accountable for falsifying science. It's about time!

'Mooofins' carry food product-development team into national finals
'Mooofins' carry food product-development team into national finals
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State Product Development team, a group of students in the food science department, recently was named one of three finalists in the Dairy Research Institute New Product Competition.
Team members, representing the College of Agricultural Sciences, will travel to Indianapolis for the American Dairy Science Association Annual Meeting in July. There they will showcase the product -- Mooofins -- that they developed over the last year.
Mooofins will be awarded either first, second or third place.
The competition tasked students with developing a high-protein, dairy-based product for the morning meal containing at least 51 percent dairy ingredients. The Penn State team created quiche-like muffins that "reinvent" an underutilized dairy product -- cottage cheese.
Cottage cheese curds are dispersed throughout the Mooofin base and are paired with signature flavors, such as blueberry sausage, maple bacon and bell pepper mushroom.
For the competition, the team had to submit a product proposal, send samples to the judges and present their product through a webinar.
Team members are Megan Woo, a senior from San Francisco; Jared Smith, a senior from Lebanon; Kelsey Rogers, a senior from Howard; Anthony Herdzik, a senior from Rochester, N.Y.; Kenny Vogel, a junior from Topsfield, Mass.; Shaina Melnick, a junior from Mount Joy; and Andrew Elder, a junior from Bellefonte. All team members are Food Science majors.
"The team has spent the last year working together to develop this product and is very excited to be able to attend the ADSA conference to share our idea with others in the dairy industry," said Woo.
The team was advised by Daniel Azzara, Alan R. Warehime Professor of Agribusiness. He explained the rationale behind the competition's choice of morning meal products.
"The Dairy Research Institute is committed to remaining on the cutting edge of product development to drive innovation and demand for dairy products and ingredients," he said. "The second annual New Product Competition challenges student teams to develop a new dairy product for the morning meal occasion.
"That includes any meal eaten before breakfast, for breakfast, as a morning meal replacement or morning snack."
The morning meal occasion is big and growing, representing more than 100 billion food or beverage occasions and an estimated $200 billion in sales, according to the Dairy Research Institute.
"Research conducted by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy demonstrates the gap for the dairy industry to develop new products and gain a greater share of these eating occasions, where dairy is presently underperforming," states the group's website.
"That's why the Dairy Research Institute, established by America's dairy farmers, is providing a platform for students to bring their knowledge and expertise to create new products for morning occasion."
Bob Roberts, professor and head of food science, expressed satisfaction at how Penn State's product development team fared in the competition and confidence its student members will perform admirably at the upcoming national championship.
"They are a very poised group, so I expect them to excel in Indianapolis," he said. "Also -- and I can say this from personal experience -- Mooofins are very tasty. I won't be surprised if this innovative product wins first place."
More information on the competition can be found on the Dairy Research Institute website. For more information about Mooofins.

Susan Sutherland Isaacs
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2011)
Susan Sutherland Isaacs, CBE (née Fairhurst; 24 May 1885 – 12 October 1948; also known as Ursula Wise) was a Lancashire-born educational psychologist and psychoanalyst. She published studies on the intellectual and social development of children and promoted the nursery school movement. For Isaacs developing a child's independence, which is best achieved through play, was the best way for children to learn and the role of adults and early educators was to guide children's play.
Early life and education
Isaacs was born in 1885 in Turton, Lancashire, the daughter of William Fairhurst, a journalist and Methodist lay preacher, and his wife, Miriam Sutherland.[1] Isaacs mother died when she was six years old. Shortly afterwards she became alienated from her father after he married the nurse who had attended her mother during her illness. Aged 15, she was removed from Bolton Secondary School by her father because she had converted to atheistic socialism; her father refused to speak to her for 2 years. She stayed at home with her stepmother until she was 22.[2] She was first apprenticed to a photographer and then she began her teaching career as a governess for an English family.
In 1907, Isaacs enrolled to train as a teacher of young children (5 to 7-year-olds) at the University of Manchester. Isaacs then transferred to a degree course and graduated in 1912 with a first class degree in Philosophy. She was awarded a scholarship at the Psychological Laboratory in Newnham College, Cambridge and gained a master's degree in 1913.[2]
Isaacs argued that it is important to develop children's skills to think clearly and exercise independent judgement. Developing a child's independence is beneficial to their development as an individual. Parents were viewed as the main educators of their children with institutionalised care for children before the age 7 being potential damaging. Children learned best through their own play. For Isaacs, play involves a perpetual form of experiment..."at any moment, a new line of inquiry or argumemt might flash out, a new step in understanding be taken".[3]
Thus play should be viewed as children's work, and social interaction is an important part of play and learning. The emotional needs of children are also very important and symbolic and fantasy play could be a release for a child's feelings. "What imaginative play does, in the first place is to create practical situations which may often then be pursued for their own sake, and this leads on to actual discovery or to verbal judgment and reasoning". The role of the adults, then, is to guide children's play, but on the whole they should have freedom to explore. Her book Intellectual Growth in Young Children[4] explains her perspective.
Isaacs embarked upon a series of lectures in infant school education at Darlington Training College; in logic at Manchester University; and psychology at London University. In 1914, she married William Broadhurst Brierley, a botany lecturer. A year later they moved to London where she became tutor to the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) and, from 1916, lectured in psychology at the University of London. In 1922, she divorced Brierly and married Nathan Isaacs (1895–1966), a metallurgist who collaborated with his wife in her later work.
Isaacs also trained and practised as a psychoanalyst after analysis by the psychoanalyst John Carl Flugel (1884–1955). She became an associate member of the newly formed British Psychoanalytical Society in 1921, becoming a full member in 1923. She began her own practice that same year.[2] She later underwent brief analysis with Otto Rank and in 1927 she submitted herself to further analysis with Joan Riviere to get personal experience and understanding of Melanie Klein's new ideas on infancy. Isaacs also helped popularise the works of Klein, as well as the theories of Jean Piaget and Sigmund Freud. She was initially enthusiastic for Jean Piaget's theories on the intellectual development of young children, though she later criticised his schemas for stages of cognitive development, which were not based on the observation of the child in their natural environment, unlike her own observations at Malting House School.
Between 1924 and 1927, she was the head of Malting House School in Cambridge, which is an experimental school founded by Geoffrey Pyke. The school fostered the individual development of children. Children were given greater freedom and were supported rather than punished. The teachers were seen as observers of the children who were seen as research workers. Her work had a great influence on early education and made play a central part of a child's education. Isaacs strongly believed that play was the child's work.
Between 1929 and 1940, she was an 'agony aunt' under the pseudonym of Ursula Wise, replying to readers' problems in several child care journals, notably The Nursery World and Home and School.[5]
In 1933, she became the first Head of the Child Development Department at the Institute of Education, University of London, where she established an advanced course in child development for teachers of young children. Her department had a great influence on the teaching profession and encouraged the profession to consider psychodynamic theory with developmental psychology.[citation needed]
Isaacs developed cancer in 1935 and struggled with ill health for the rest of her life.After all even with cancer,she showed courage to go for a tour.In 1937 she toured Australia and New Zealand, and after moving to Cambridge in 1939, she conducted the Cambridge Evacuation Survey which studied the effect of evacuation on children. She was awarded the CBE in 1948.[citation needed]
She died from cancer on 12 October 1948, aged 63. There are several portraits of her in the National Portrait Gallery in London.[6]
Psychoanalytic controversy
'Isaacs is best known outside educational circles for her strategic statement of the Kleinian position on phantasy...presented in 1943 during the British Psycho-Analytical Society's heated wartime "Controversial discussions"'.[7] There she maintained that 'Unconscious phantasies exert a continuous influence throughout life, both in normal and neurotic people', and that in the analytic situation "'the patient's relation to his analyst is almost entirely one of unconscious phantasy'".[8] Isaacs was one of the first to review and challenge Jean Piaget's stages of child development. She has been criticised for the way "her sweeping pan-instinctualism – 'There is no impulse, no instinctual urge or response that is not experienced as unconscious phantasy' – risks reducing the protean content and workings of phantasy to an instinctual aim".[9]
