What's a Tune Up and When To Get One
You've no doubt heard people say they're taking their car in for a tune up, but have you ever wondered what a tune up really is and what it consists of?
Since my daughter and I are getting ready to take a weekend trip in July, she thought it would be a good idea to schedule an appointment to take her Malibu in for a tune up and I thought it would make a good topic for Cars for Girls, so here's what you can expect the next time you take your vehicle in for a scheduled trip to the service garage.
(Note: This is a general overview. Your experience may be different.)
What is a Tune-Up?
A tune up is simply scheduled maintenance on your vehicle, usually performed by a certified mechanic, to prevent damage to the vehicle's engine and other important parts which wear out over time. Think of a tune up as a yearly physical for your vehicle, because essentially, that's exactly what it is.
How Often Do I Need a Tune Up?
Generally, a tune up is performed once each year, however I do know people who take their vehicle in every 6 months.
What Happens During a Tune Up?
Typically, a mechanic will replace the air filter, fuel filter, change the spark plugs, sometimes also changing spark plug wires, adjust valves or replace the valve-cover gasket, check all fluids and add more if necessary, note the condition of the battery, battery terminals and cables and clean or replace if necessary. Vehicles which are fuel injected will probably have the throttle plate cleaned and the air-fuel mixture adjusted. Mechanics should also check brakes, brake fluid and give the tires a good once over; checking tire pressure and looking for tread wear. The mechanic will probably also check the air conditioning in the spring/summer and heating in the fall/winter.
Other things they'll look at and repair or replace if needed are the carburetor, distributor cap and rotor, PCV valve, oxygen sensor, timing and depending on the age of the vehicle, perhaps even the points and condenser. If the vehicle isn't an automatic, the mechanic will probably adjust the clutch, too.
Chances are, if you take your vehicle in every 6 months, some things mentioned above won't be done because it's simply not necessary, which is why most people schedule a tune up just once a year. On newer vehicles which use platinum spark plugs, these will only need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Also, newer vehicles which have an electronic ignition won't need a new distributor cap and rotor.
If you're ever in doubt, check your vehicle manual to learn what maintenance is needed when scheduling a tune up.
How Long Does it Take and How Much Does it Cost?
A typical tune up generally takes a few hours.
Shop around and compare prices. Typically, you'll pay for labor charges, as well as any replacement parts and fluids your tune up encounters, while some service garages may also charge an hourly rate.
Once you find a suitable mechanic and/or service garage, I suggest telling the mechanic or service manager that you would like to be notified in advance if the mechanic encounters a repair or replacement which may be expensive. In doing so, you can prepare for any unexpected expenses which may occur and can decide whether the repair or replacement is something you can immediately afford to pay. In the event that the repair or replacement is a cost you can't yet afford, I suggest taking care of the problem as soon as possible, even if it requires keeping your vehicle at the service garage for a number of days until you can afford to pay. You don't want to jeapardize safety for the sake of repair cost.
If your vehicle is a hybrid, you can look into hybrid-only service shops in your area. Although relatively new, hybrid-only repair shops are becoming quite popular and your local area may offer this type of service for customers who would like to take advantage of this option.

So I won'tdon'tgive himmorehigher pay."

Excerpt for Goddess Revealed-Bast's Perfume, Book One. You can find Bast's Perfume HERE.
Chapter One
"Let's see what Frank has sent this time," Slade Nelson said out loud to himself, alone inside his antique store, which was closed for the day. With a crowbar in hand, he bent down to open the crate that sat on the floor in front of him.
He and his partner Frank Thompson owned the fairly successful store in the middle of downtown Toronto. The partnership worked out well for both. Frank, always the wanderer of the two, traveled all over the world acquiring items for the store while Slade stayed in Canada to take care of the business end of things. Something Slade liked doing a lot.
As Slade worked to open the crate, he felt the familiar excitement and curiosity rise over what could be inside. His business partner had gone to Egypt a couple of weeks before. The crate, which had been sent from that country, had arrived shortly before he'd closed the store.
The lid now removed, Slade pulled out handfuls of packing material until he reached the items inside. He smiled as he lifted the first clay jar out of the crate. There were four in total, all different sizes, from as large as a wine decanter to a small one not much taller than the width of his hand. The first three jars appeared to be the real thing, not from ancient Egyptian times of course, but antiques nonetheless. The fourth one gave Slade pause.
This jar was the smallest of the four. Picking it up, he held it in front of him as he peered at the images painted on the body. His brows drew together as he studied it closer. The colors of the paint seemed too bright, too pristine for this jar to be considered an antique. He shook his head. Slade couldn't see Frank making such a mistake. Part of the reason why Slade didn't complain about Frank doing most of the purchasing was the fact that Frank had an eye for antiques. His business partner could practically sniff them out from a mile away.
Slade traced one of the images on the jar. It depicted a woman with the head of a cat, a domestic cat. He knew a little bit about the Egyptian gods so he recognized the image as the goddess Bast. Next to the cat-headed woman stood the image of a woman who didn't have any animal-like depictions. Slade figured both images had to be Bast, in her human and cat-headed forms, since both women wore the same tight-fitting sheath dress. There was no question in his mind that the jar had to be a copy of a much older original. Everything about it seemed too new.
Curious to see what the jar might have held at one time, Slade lifted off the lid—and the most intoxicating perfume he had ever smelled surrounded him. Slade took a deep breath. Though the jar had nothing inside it, the leftover scent went straight to his head. The perfume smelled so feminine, so alluring, his body started to respond. His cock jerked inside his dress pants as he thought of what it would be like to make love to a woman who wore this perfume.
Slade snorted. He had to get a grip on himself. He wasn't that hard up. At least he didn't think he was. That just the smell of a woman's perfume would give him a hard-on was pretty pathetic. At thirty years old, he should be way past that stage. Unable to help himself, he inhaled more of the perfume's scent into his lungs.
The sound of a cat's meow suddenly drew his attention to the store's front. A black cat stood by the door, watching him.
Wondering how the cat could have gotten into the store without his knowledge, Slade replaced the lid on the jar before carefully putting it on the counter next to the others. He turned back to the cat, intending to send it on its way, but it no longer stood by the front door.
Just what he needed at the end of the day. To have to hunt down a stray cat that had somehow managed to get loose in the store didn't thrill him, to say the least.
In the end, he searched the entire store twice but couldn't find the cat anywhere. Too tired after the long day to work his brain around this mystery, Slade decided to head home. Tomorrow he'd have to see if he could find where the cat had managed to slip inside and block it so it wouldn't be able to return. If he wasn't careful he would have mice or some other kind of pest inside the store.
On the way out, Slade grabbed the perfume jar. Since it couldn't be sold in the store, he decided he wanted it for himself. The overall design of the jar appealed to him. It didn't have anything to do with the fact that he couldn't get enough of the smell of the perfume it once held.
Or so he told himself more than once for good measure.
* * * * *
Slade arrived at his brick two-story just as the sun began to set. After he parked his car in the garage, he picked up the perfume jar and headed inside his empty house. When he had first bought his three-bedroom detached, Slade had thought it would be the perfect place to start a family. What he hadn't counted on was his inability to find a woman he wanted to marry and start that family with. He had dated his fair share of women, but he hadn't been able to find one who would tolerate his long workdays, or one he actually wanted to spend the rest of his life with. When he finally did marry, it would be to a woman he felt he could be with forever. For him, divorce wouldn't be an option.
He placed the jar on the living room coffee table as he fought the urge to lift the lid and once more smell the scent of the heady perfume. Slade shook his head. How pathetic was he? It had been a while since he'd last had a girlfriend, but it hadn't been that long since he'd taken a woman to bed. He shouldn't be getting this turned on just from perfume. Deliberately, he turned his back on the jar and headed upstairs to change out of his dress shirt and pants.
Now wearing a comfy pair of jeans and a t-shirt, Slade made his way downstairs to the kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing some leftover spaghetti. As it heated in the microwave, he found his thoughts drawn back to the jar that sat on his coffee table. Maybe he could get one good sniff in before his food finished heating…
No. He was going to stay in the kitchen and eat his meal no matter how much the thought of smelling the perfume appealed to him.
The microwave beeped behind him. Grabbing a fork out of a drawer, Slade took his heated spaghetti to the kitchen table. Before he sat down to eat, he poured himself a glass of red wine. Instead of leisurely taking the time to enjoy his food, however, Slade practically inhaled it as the remembered scent of the perfume made him almost desperate to smell it again. It was as if he'd become addicted and needed his fix. "Gee, can I sink any lower?" he grumbled to himself.
He finally gave up the fight as he put his plate in the dishwasher and picked up his glass of wine before heading for the living room. He set the glass down on the table before sitting on the couch. Not waiting another minute, he pulled the perfume jar closer and lifted the lid, his eyes closing as he dragged in lungful after lungful of the intoxicating scent.
Slade's eyes snapped open as the sound of a cat's meow reached his ears. He turned his head in the direction of the sound and sucked in a breath. The same black cat that had been in his store now sat in the middle of his living room.
Slowly, so as not to scare the cat, he put the jar lid down on the coffee table and stood up. The cat didn't move as he stepped around the table and moved to stand in front of it. Instead of running away, the cat began to purr as it wove in and out of his legs. Slade reached down to grab the cat by the scruff of its neck, but it quickly darted out of reach before sauntering back to once more stand in front of him.
He then had to blink his eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on him as the cat's form began to waver and change.

The space is white. Immaculate. Rectilinear. It speaks of all the modernity of an era that we imagine to be in the very near future. A world of absolute purity. To further accentuate the effect, this scene is installed within the riding stables of the republican guard, a 19th century building in glass and metal that is hosting a fashion show for the very first time. The contrast is striking. It is to yet a third era that the first musical harmonies transport us: 1982, Anne Clarke and the New Wave revolution. The first models take the stage, their steps lively, carried along by the electronic rhythms. The suits are black, very black; the shirts white, very white, structured by a simple tie line. A very black tie line. The silhouette is more athletic, emphasised at the waist, sometimes even highlighted by a belt with a metal buckle over the jackets. In this chaotic futuristic world, created by the contrasting décor and further highlighted by the music, the man imagined by Kris Van Assche for Dior this season is an ideal image. Under the white light of the catwalk, he approaches with confidence, strict, ultra-clean, impeccable. Perfect.
Right down to his shoes whose sole and heel are covered by a shell of translucent plastic, as if to insulate his gait from the ground, as though nothing could ever happen to him. The two-fabric jackets appear moulded onto the body, neoprene and technical fabrics occasionally structuring the figure like a shell. They are zipped up to the neck. Everything is controlled. A man, rather like a superhero. But not the ones in films. Theatricality has given way to everyday life. Because the future imagined by the designer is optimistic. Men gather in fraternities. This season, that of Dior Homme bears its emblem proudly, like a cabalistic symbol: a triangle within a circle. It is found on jumpers and jackets. Black, white, grey or red. That same red, an extremely Dior colour if ever there were one, is found in tennis stripes on suits that toy with a graphic effect, alternating single and double lines. After strutting up and down the catwalk, the models climbed up to the walkways around the décor, as though embracing the room with their desire for modernity. The future is now.

Governor's school students host 15th annual Model UN
Nearly 400 central Virginia high school and middle school students assembled at Maggie L. Walker Governor's School recently to participate in the 15th annual Governor's School Model United Nations Conference (GSMUN XV), around 150 being students from Henrico County. The conference is completely student-run, consisting of a staff of around 70 Governor's School students. With more committees available to debate in than ever before, GSMUN XV prides itself in being one of the largest high school Model UN conferences in the Virginia. Six members of the secretariat staff are Henrico county residents. Model United Nations allows students to simulate official United Nations proceedings by conducting research on global topics, representing their assigned countries, debating with other nations, and practicing the art of diplomacy to ultimately create resolutions to real international issues. Student delegates at GSMUN XV participated in committees that focused on problems such as the European Union financial crisis, infrastructure and regime development of Sudan, human trafficking, and antibiotic resistance. This year, GSMUN XV staff and participants also raised funds to support Pencils of Promise, an international organization whose mission is to build schools in the developing world and to train young leaders to take action at home and abroad. The charity supported by last year's conference received $4,000 from the event. |

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Court records: MPAA sought info on PirateBay founders
TorrentSpy may be gone but its attorneys continue to allege in court that the motion picture industry engaged in a spying campaign against the company as well as others, including the Pirate Bay.
TorrentSpy, a BitTorrent search engine that was driven out of business last March as a result of fighting a copyright suit filed by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), is seeking another chance to argue that the MPAA wronged the company when it purchased information obtained from a hacker who had pilfered company e-mail.
A federal judge threw out TorrentSpy's hacker complaint last August, saying … Read more

PORTLAND, Maine — A 74-year-old Maine man was charged in the shooting deaths of two tenants
inside an apartment he rented at his home, possibly over a dispute about where they parked their
cars during a snowstorm, state police said yesterday.
James Pak was arrested about 10 p.m. on Saturday after a standoff at his suburban
neighborhood home in Biddeford, about 15 miles south of Portland, police said. He is charged with
two counts of murder in the deaths of Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18.
Before the shootings, Biddeford police were called to Pak's home regarding a dispute between
Pak and his tenants over their cars being parked in his driveway during the snowstorm, said state
police spokesman Steve McCausland. Biddeford banned street parking during the night so city crews
could plow the streets.

-- the governor's cracking down on illegals are not immigrants music downloads.
Results -- -- I'm fighting to 675000.
Dollar fine for illegally downloading and sharing thirty songs of freedom court refusing his appeal.
But that was partly a soccer -- being here is.
Is a good development told good having you.
You're in big trouble and then -- and out.
Well let's say it's good to be -- -- it's actually not down.
What about a do well it's actually not a fine it's actually not a a kind of government county it's the civil lawsuit between the RYA.
And may but the RIA was using the extensive legal system and the legal system put in place by the -- settled up.
Your question it's a distinguished civil or not as you do have to pay a billion -- in out of that and that's a lot of money to pay I assume you don't have the money to back it.
Not gonna graduate student for the last six years I'm I'm not rich I'm not a corporation I'm disturbed person why did you download I don't know a lot of people billing you might have been one caught in.
And they needed is trying to make a lessen that view from an example.
For both what what if it does happen.
What what I think what happened now does this happen where there's this that you know civil thing you know region.
For doing what a lot of Americans do all the time.
Well a lot of to make an example out of me they sued me in addition to something 120000 other people.
I'll pick that have been millions of people who are doing this this is very much what what can we got a long way generation thought she -- what what will include the man.
Well what the RIA does is they have aid -- an agent that acts on their behalf.
That goes on to the file sharing program and then does screen captures showing the files -- you're sharing.
They then take that information with the IP address give that to the RIA.
Within subpoenas -- Internet service writer and then they can do full exploratory.
They can do everything that the federal government basically.
Allows them to do as the plaintiffs in the lawsuit which includes seizing my computer copping a whole thing subjecting me to sixteen hours of love deposition.
Now I know everybody are good many people do -- -- and you've got caught doing this but it doesn't make it any.
-- wrong right I mean what you did was wrong and what you did.
-- only -- of legal.
World ash.
I think that's sort of questioning is something of -- maybe a disconnect between people.
That are older that haven't been doing some people who are younger people who are more used to may be reading the news from a newspaper is people were more used to reading it online.
There I mean this is something that was very very common it's.
Before this it was people taping songs off the radio and it wasn't like anybody -- occurred.
The idea that that would be something terribly terribly wrong.
But will candidates or exactly what people and you know -- sound like a savvy guy.
No that that is wrong and that there are then there's that you download something you gotta -- -- and and you didn't.
Well but now it's it's not simply that black and white if you look at the people who do download illegally they -- 50% more on legal music this is that this is a means of expiration in my generation.
Has used to explore these kinds of things on the fact that there's been such a huge loss -- over this thing.
And such a big example they're trying to make out of me.
Has really changed -- people stop using these big easily traceable file sharing programs.
Now they're going further underground thing into programs called up bit towards but it doesn't really change -- -- it's sort of something it's there it's.
Our answer -- exchanges like there's thought that risk though Laura eulogized.
Holding back looking at a settlement shilling for a while listening to the music yet have not downloading -- and -- Well in the event that I that I want music but I want to doing outset by -- CDO online so that the royalties don't go back to the RIA I don't by music from the new I don't buy and -- if it's -- -- affiliated.
Which is difficult because they control 90% of the commercial music in this country by their own how much music -- think collectively you've downloaded.
Well at the time -- they sued me I think it was something like 800 songs in my computer which.
Was apparently embarrassingly small you tell I mention this.
-- -- -- -- -- that you if it was not a proud number I did not have a lot of -- so there's this image that I'm this huge -- -- hundred tons and tons of music.
It's just not the case -- had to download and what he -- they exemption what did you download.
Well it was a matter of they have this media agent who goes -- a look at the share Fuller looking it songs that are shared.
With the pattern seems to be in these lawsuits is they -- like really really popular songs.
The basically everybody Dallas Eveready shares songs that they -- concerning -- accounting errors on.
There are thirty songs there are listed online it's it's an arbitrary sampling -- -- like to me -- funds Nirvana come as you are one and Green Day minority Al -- There's a feel that it hits us and a very good -- it's.
Your help them ostensible -- -- seem to think so well I don't know -- and wanted to know I hope you work this out it does seem.
To be a disproportionate.
Suits in the so called crime but will will -- and keep us posted -- thank you very much.
Sure thing over to me.

Cancer prevention should not be just experiments performed in a laboratory or a reason for building a new medical center, but rather cancer prevention must include looking at the choices we make in our everyday lives and in business.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, witnessing everyone gathering with their families, friends and even strangers, I want to explain how cancer has made me thankful... for life.
The story of the pink ribbon is the story of how breast cancer prevention has been marginalized and the power of people to stand up to corporations. Few people know that the pink ribbon began as a peach ribbon for prevention.
Scientists are working hard to uncover gene-nutrient associations for all types of diseases, especially cancer. Once these associations are better understood, nutrition recommendations can be then personalized for disease prevention and management.
Let me introduce you to the idiot that was me 11 years ago. I actually said, "Man, that's nothing compared to what I have coming to me." I still cringe when I think of those words today, because when you are going through cancer, the last thing that will ever help you is comparing your situation to others.
In my teens, I ate wheat, gluten, sugar; basically the normal SAD (Standard American Diet). My dietary staples were breads, muffins, baked goods, hamburgers, Chinese food, spaghetti, pizza. If it was junk food -- I ate it.
The fact that we are surrounded by high speed everything -- living, eating, driving, breathing and of course technology -- is taking its toll on our sense of inner peace. Perhaps we can't change our entire life, but we can certainly make small steps towards healthy choices that in fact will make us happier.
When you are a parent, you learn quickly it's all about how quick you need to move when you are maneuvering homework, travel sports and dinner. That's a complicated situation.
After much testing, I was informed that my baby had "severe allergies" and was suffering with eczema and asthma in its severest form. Our lives immediately changed forever.
The more I spoke in public forums, the more I realized that PREVENTION is the answer! Let's NOT get cancer in the first place -- How's that for a cure?
There are many reasons cancer has become ingrained in the landscape of our lives. Cancer prevention should be on the top of every corporate spreadsheet. How would that change the way we do business? What could that do to expand corporate social responsibility?
Apples contain cell protective plant chemicals called flavonoids, which act as antioxidants by scavenging free radicals that are destructive to your genes and by supporting normal inflammation control.
Over the past few decades, we've been trying harder and harder to be healthy and fit. The result: We got heavy and sick. What's going on here? When did healthy and fit start making us heavy and sick? And why is everyone calling us lazy gluttons?
You would think that Deb may be a little off her rocker if she's celebrating Christmas in August. Or, you would think she is completely lazy for not taking down the tree eight months ago. But, no, Deb is neither crazy nor lazy. Deb... is dying.
While I'm well aware of dietary and lifestyle means to boost that battle, I'm also aware that much more must be done. That includes getting more answers about how our environment, not just our lifestyle, can enter the mix.
As a parent who lost her child to a brain tumor, I'm commemorating September's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by red-flagging those obstacles that prevent us from raising survival rates for our youngest warriors.

At least i can say that the handwriting recognition in Win7 works really well with this Intuos4 tablet, but that's about it. No gluegun for lexan, BTW. Ha. That'd be far too ghetto for me...more like this stuff:
front panel on this case doesnt work. so this is my fix while waiting for the replacement to get here.
at first glance I thought that eye-drop bottle (at least that's what I'm assuming it is) said "nazivision" and then realised it said nasivion. :/
thats a nasal spray my nasal tissues dry up in the heat oh and that bottle is positioned in such a way as to block the lower Left LED of the fan from hitting my eye while playing XD
Wow that is nice. Ordered 3930K (459€), Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 (39€) and Rampage IV Formula (298€) all new. Discount days are bad, I am weak.
Here's my rig: Just ordered some red cold cathode lights, red extension cables and 200mm CM red fan for the top of the case. Lots of work ahead of me, but this is the starting point. It's going to look like a red inferno when it gets done
not sure if i showed this one yet. my newest case, the fractal design mini specs are nothing special. Phenom2 BE, 6 gigs, gtx580. going to get entire new guts later this year when windows 8 comes out. googled pic for clarity couple of my older cases showing size comparison my previous setup. have a different desk now
Nice rig...u have the gtx 580..i like that card..i hope to buy a pair of those monsters in the future...
Guys do u think that with my Corsair TX 750 have i enough power for all the things in my signature + 2x GTX580 and without the GTX9800s? Sorry for my english
When I went and visited my girlfriend in Texas, I rerouted all her cables in her case: This was her case before: The kitty helps overclock her 2600k
Next time you visit her you should do something special with a CPU cooler that matches both the board and the case. I can't think of much more that tells your girl friend how much you care. Nothing says love more than a cool running processor.
I'm sorry to hear that your pussy is all the way in Texas. That makes feeding it regularly a real chore.
She wants it to look "pretty", trust me, I've shown her "cute" coolers and the best, and she cares for neither
Pops, I have two words for you: cable management :shadedshu You can do it under the desk as well as in a case these days

we were paid for this
At just $95, a proper pair of glasses is the perfect gift to give (and to get).
Basically I'm seeing myself for the first time.
To participate in nearly all other facets of such a superfluous industry and then sit on my high horse when it comes to glasses seems pretty ridiculous, don't you think?
warby parker
In celebration of their first-ever store, Warby Parker is giving away an amazing weekend for two. This is one contest you'll want to enter. Trust me.
It's sooooo easy to click "Buy" on a shopping app, especially when you're tired and the pizza is getting cold because you played the most dangerous parenting game and ordered the food before your child was fully asleep.
Seeing is kind of a necessary part of life.
With just a few easy steps, your eyes can shine through your lenses instead of being swallowed up by your frames.
Help me overcome my fear of leaving the house in glasses.
This is stuff I actually really love and use, even though I am sort of ashamed. Please don't tell anybody.
The Janine "Ghostbusters" Melnitz and more that should be remade so I can buy them.
I'm going to buy some new glasses and your vote will decide!

Owls Hit the Internet With Fast Break Broadcasting
There was a time when you had to be in attendance at either Spaulding Gym or Sumner Joyce Field, or, more recently, Owl Athletic Complex, to catch all the excitement of Keene State College athletics in real time.
However, these days, whether you're on the other side of campus or on the other side of the world, you can keep track of your favorite Keene State teams thanks to the internet and Fast Break Broadcasting.
This past season, Fast Break broadcast 117 Owl games, including all home and selected away and tournament contests for KSC's 18 varsity sports.
"You're always trying to promote your program, and we felt this was the wave of the future for Division III athletics," said Athletics Director John Ratliff. "People are going to their computers to watch games, and we wanted to provide not only parents, but alumni, fans, and recruits, an opportunity to see our games."
Ratliff said that the College also made a conscious decision not to charge people to view the games. His reasoning: It would generate revenue, but limit the audience. "Is a recruit going to plop down $10 to watch a KSC game? I doubt it," he said.
Implementing a system to broadcast Keene State games didn't happen overnight. It involved many people with vision, not to mention the financial resources to get the Owls on the air. If radio has its Marconi, and television has its Philo Farnsworth, then Keene State internet broadcast has its Gino Vallante '97. The Keene State grad, who serves as the Student Center program coordinator, moonlights as the broadcast boss and unofficial voice of the Owls.
The Keene State men's basketball team got the internet ball rolling in 2004 when Coach Rob Colbert approached Vallante with the idea to do their games. "We wanted to try to do something different," said Colbert. "Radio was great, but it wasn't reaching our targeted audiences."
Fast Break Broadcasting, named for Vallante's longtime rapture for round ball, was born. One doesn't just bring a computer to a game and begin broadcasting. Gino set about the task of integrating internet terms into the Keene State athletic lexicon. Set plays and speed on the court were accompanied by headsets and upload speed off of it.
With Kyle Provost, a Franklin Pierce grad, and Vallante at the mike, Fast Break did 27 audio broadcast its first season. While plugging into the internet at Spaulding Gym was relative easy, the same can't be said when the duo hit the road. Sometimes running 200 of feet of cable around baskets and bleachers, Vallante would begin many of his broadcasts with the phrase, "If you only knew what we had to do to get on the air." As much as they tried to troubleshoot and foresee problems, a Radio Shack run wasn't uncommon.
The positive response to the basketball broadcasts brought other teams on board and eventually led to video streaming. "We try to treat every program with equal access and equal respect," said Ratliff. "If we broadcast one team, we're going to broadcast the others as well."
Expanding the number of broadcasts meant more equipment, more announcers, and more importantly, internet upload speed to handle multiple, and sometimes simultaneous, broadcasts.
While the department allocated more funds for equipment, Vallante began to scour the campus for talent. A former basketball recruit, Adam Skibek '07, as well as Christian Harrison '10, who was plucked out of the stands while doing camera work for a television production class, soon joined the arsenal of announcers.
Both Skibek, currently an account executive for NBA D-League Maine Red Claws, and Harrison, who moved into a job in the Keene State sports information department after graduating, speak highly of the experience. "It was my start in sports. If I hadn't been involved with Gino, I wouldn't be working for the NBA today," said Skibek. "I was able to progress in my career, go back to school, and work in sales full-time for a pro team."
Creating an academic opportunity for students to get first-hand, live announcing experience, Vallante also dipped into the large pool of journalism and communication majors by setting up internships with Mark Timney, an associate professor of journalism at KSC. "Internships like these are often the most important stepping stone for getting professional work or an internship at a higher level," said Timney. "Because of their practical experience, the students are not starting at square one."
Needing an announcer to handle the men's lacrosse broadcasts, Vallante turned to former Owl club coach and present director of campus purchasing Jim Draper. A one-man announcing team, Draper was initially concerned about doing the games. "I spent 15 years on the sidelines pacing and swearing at the referees, I don't know if I'm going to be good on the air," said Draper, who has connected with many of his former players through the broadcast. "Gino said it's no problem – it's the internet – but I watch my P's and Q's."
Several announcers are KSC student-athletes who need to get up to speed before getting behind the mike. "My fisrt game was a field hockey game," said Eric Perrault, a junior on the Owl baseball team. "I never watched a single game, so it was tough. I did a little studying and tried to figure it out and make it sound like I knew what I was talking about."
While EZStream provides Keene State with an easy and cost-effective way to get its games to its ever-growing fan base, there have been some complications. One of major obstacles the College has confronted has been the need to get high-speed internet capability at Keene State's remote athletic outdoor fields, which host Owl baseball, softball, lacrosse, and soccer teams. With the cost of hard-wiring the facility prohibitive, Ratliff said interruptions and quality of the broadcast from the fields will continue to be a concern.
What hasn't been a problem, but rather a pleasant and unexpected surprise, is the response to the broadcasts. Audiences, including parents, alumni, and recruits, are clicking on in record numbers to watch the Owls in action. According to Vallante, the listener numbers, which began in the hundreds, are now in the thousands. It might not be up there with the Nielsen ratings, but the most-watched broadcast was a men's basketball game between the Owls and St. Lawrence in the championship of the KSC Tip-Off tournament on Nov. 19th that had 6,694 hits.
A local radio signal that barely made its way out of the Monadnock region has been supplanted by internet technology that has sent Keene State games around the world. Vallante said he heard from a parent in Japan and alums in California and Washington.
The Keene State men's swim team has several athletes with fathers in the military. Dick Harris, whose son Austin is a member of the KSC swim team, was able to tune in and watch a meet when he was in Amman, Jordan. "I give it two thumbs up," he said.
Tony and Noelle Dormio, who reside in Leesburg, Va., said the broadcasts allow them to watch their daughter Sammy play for the Owl women's volleyball team. "We're down in Virginia, and it's a nine-hour drive to get up to Keene," said Tony. "Watching it on the web is the next best thing to ESPN, as far as we're concerned."
You don't have to convince Colbert that the broadcast helps his recruiting efforts. "It's hard to bring kids to campus, but if you can bring the campus to them or the environment to them, you've accomplished a big goal," he said. "It's easy, accessible, and their preferred method of watching and communicating. We've been able to recruit a different level of player."
It's also become a new way to sell the school. KSC coaches and alums are frequent guests on halftime shows, which might also include an admissions video.
Meanwhile, the Keene State baseball team uses its broadcasts as a fund-raiser by selling between inning ads. "It's worked out very well for us and helps to defray the cost of our spring week trip," said Coach Ken Howe.
ESPN Radio (1220 AM) in Keene also hooked up with Fast Break this spring to simulcast a few Owl baseball games – a collaboration that might continue into the upcoming season.
The past few years, Fast Break has sent an announcer with the team during its spring trip. Skibek readily recalls his week in Arizona when it was so hot his headset melted to his hat.
A front-runner in the rapidly changing and evolving world of internet broadcasting, Keene State has just scratched the surface of providing Owl fans with the best possible product. "Keene State made the commitment to be in the forefront and has followed through on that," said Vallante. "We're always looking for the newest and latest way to do it – but because we're trying new things, we're the ones that have to solve the problems. Any time we add another layer, we have work through the glitches."
"It's gotten to the point where college programs don't have to wait for television and production companies to come to them," said Colbert. "It's going to become much more dynamic, and I think before long you won't notice a difference between a streamed game and a televised game."

Many applications used in today's radiology departments require the use of digital networks. It is vital in teleradiology applications for both the in-house departments and remote sites. However, it is unrealistic to expect that the medical information systems department of your medical center is adequate to meet all of your institutions networking needs (the MIS staff has other significant problems, including implementing enterprise systems and dealing with disparate databases). It is, therefore, necessary for radiology department personnel to become knowledgeable enough to assist in coordinating networking efforts with the MIS department.
Radiology departments that have developed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have learned to work with both local area networks, or LANs (networks spanning distances of under 5,000 meters), and wide area networks (used for Internet applications). As is the case with any problem solving technology, new and improved network schemes are constantly evolving to streamline and improve workflow for transmitting patient data, including patient images. Many of these developments have been made quite recently and are capable of providing the bandwidth required for transmitting patient data (text and images) at a reasonable usage cost.
Radiology applications involving the proper selection of networks require an understanding of four concepts: bandwidth (analog and digital); the Internet and Web; signal-to-noise ratio (S/N); and the new networks of digital subscriber lines (DSL).
The term bandwidth is a critical parameter in the choice of a network. For example, if a radiology department intends to transfer from a clinic to hospital 10 PA chest radiographs during an 8-hour period, then the requested bandwidth must be 16.66 kbits/sec (2,000 ¥ 2,000 ¥ 12 bits ¥ 10 images/8 hrs ¥ 3,600 sec/hr=16.66 kbits/sec). This assumes that the 10 films are transmitted in a uniform time interval during the 8-hour period. If the network's bandwidth is less than this, memory buffers must be used to queue the data so as to avoid losing the image data.
Data can be sent over a communication channel (i.e., transmitted on wires) by varying a physical property, such as voltage or current. This process is called signaling. The bandwidth of a given channel is a parameter used to define the amount of data which can be transmitted without distortion.1 The term continuous or analog signal means that a network is capable of transmitting a range of harmonics. A harmonic is represented by a mathematical function, f(t) = A cos (nwt), where "A" is the amplitude of the harmonic, "n" is the harmonic, and "w" is the frequency of the first harmonic. An ordinary telephone line, called a voice-grade line, has an analog bandwidth of approximately 3000 hertz (Hz), meaning that the highest frequency that can be transmitted is 3000 Hz, (3000 cycles per second).
In comparison to the analog type of signal, the term discrete or digital signal means a sequence of numbers defined for every integer "n". The sequence f(n) is called a digital signal and the index "n" is the discrete time. Thus, a discrete or digital signal is not represented by a continuous waveform but rather a sequence of values. In addition to quantifying time, a discrete signal quantifies the signal amplitude.
In measuring bandwidth, the rule of thumb is that more is better. That is, an analog channel of 1 MHz (1,000,000 Hz) is better than 1 kHz (1,000 Hz), and certainly much more costly. A digital channel of 1.544 Mbits/second (1,544,000) Mbps) is better than a 64 kbps (64,000 bps) digital channel.
The maximum data transmission rate of any channel was recognized in 1924 by Nyquist,2 who proved that if an arbitrary analog signal was transmitted through a channel of bandwidth B, the filtered signal could be completely reconstructed by making only 2 B (exact) samples per second. For example, a noiseless 3 kHz channel cannot transmit binary (two level) signals at a rate exceeding 6000 bps. If you try, distortions will occur in the reconstructed signals. This explains why modems used on telephone lines do not transmit past the 33.6 kbps rate and why the newest modems have difficulty reaching 56 kbps. In 1948, Claude Shannon extended Nyquist's work further to the case of a channel subject to random noise.3 Shannon found that the maximum data rate of a noisy channel whose bandwidth is B Hz, and whose signal-to-noise ratio is S/N, is given by:
maximum number of bits/sec = B log2 (1+S/N)
The signal-to-noise ratio measurement of a transmitting channel is similar to that of a radiograph. A good S/N is required in a radiograph to detect anatomic structures. For example, a channel of 3000 Hz bandwidth and a signal-to-noise ratio of 30 dB can never transmit much more than 90,000 bps. A transmitting channel with a good S/N is important to avoid errors in transmission. Public networks in which switched-links are employed (so-called dial-up lines) may not have as good a S/N ratio as that of a private network, one dedicated to your application.
Digital channels
Table 1 illustrates several digital channels and their bandwidths (data rates). Interface devices are used to transmit different types of signals. A modem is an interface device designed to carry digital signals (such as a text file) across a link which employs analog signaling. A Codec is an interface device required to carry analog information across a link using digital signaling. Another type of interface device, a DSU/CSU (data service unit/channel service unit) is required to change one form of digital signal to another.
The first invention to use this technology, the public switched telephone network (PSTN), was designed, engineered, constructed, and operated for the basic purpose of two people talking to one another for relatively short periods of time. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, a 2400 bps modem was considered a high-speed device. In mid 1994, when the Web first surfaced on the Internet, the top modem speed was 9600 bps (9.6 kbps). Today modems signal at rates of 33.6 kbps, now pushing data rates of 56 kbps (at least in one direction: downstream).
An additional means of carrying a signal, the integrated services digital network (ISDN), has been a disappointment to the telephone companies. ISDN operates at 64 kbps, offers two channels, and has a primary rate interface signaling of 1.5 Mbps. ISDN is a switched service, meaning that an ISDN user can connect to other sites over the access line. This is important for teleradiology applications.
A T1 is a point-to-point, leased private line that can be provided at a fixed monthly rate (no user fee charges). It was developed in 1948 as a digital pulse-code modulation signaling system, signaling at data rates of 1.544 Mbps. Newer versions of this include the HDSL 2 (high-bit-rate digital subscriber line), and the ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line), which operates at a wide range of data rates (1.5 to 8 Mbps [downstream, uses one wire pair] and 16 to 640 Kbps [upstream]), and reaches to 18,000 feet (3.4 miles). A T3 line operates at 45 Mbps, as does an optical carrier level 1 (OC-1). Lastly, the broadband ISDN (B-ISDN) provides popular technologies, such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH). These high data rate transmission links are required for transmission of images between sites. High data rate links can transmit large sized data files with reasonable timeliness. Often, data compression methods are employed to reduce the size of the data files being transmitted in order to speed up the process. Many intended applications for these technologies have found their way onto the Web.
The Internet and the Web
The Internet started operations in 1969, funded by the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Project Agency; it was then known as the ARPANET. Its clinical growth was such that in the early 1980s ARPANET was divided into two parts, one for military networks (MILNET) and the other supported by the National Science Foundation (NSFNET).
The Internet is based upon a client-server architecture. The client-server model so often used in personal computers will maintain data on one or more shared file server machines, and the users of these machines are called clients. The Internet employs a file transfer protocol (ftp) standard, which is a client software package running on the client's computer and a ftp server software package operating on the server. Using this software, a home PC user client accesses a remote ftp server over the Internet and transfers an ftp file from the server to the home PC. Initially, it was difficult for the user to perform multiple applications, and worse yet, the user was required to learn lines of text commands to accomplish these applications.
Fortunately, a significant event occurred in the evolution of the Internet. Two approaches, known as hierarchical and hypertext, were tried to solve the problems of separate clients and text line commands. The hierarchical approach is based on organization and classification: a place to store everything and everything in its place. The first application to explore this approach was the Internet Gopher (developed at the University of Minnesota and released in late 1991). Gopher menus contained sites and resources from Internet locations that enabled users to "go for" them by interactive selection on computer screens.
In comparison, hypertext uses the relationship of the data as its guidance in moving about the Internet. Through hypertext, a user can move through lists of data across the Internet, going from one concept to another. The first hypertext application was a software package called HyperCard™ that was released by Apple™ Computers in 1987 as a part of the Macintosh™ system. Hypertext was brought to the Internet in the late 1980s by Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau when they published their proposal for networked hypertext. It is in their proposal that the term "world wide web" was first introduced: "Hypertext is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will." The authors found a need to develop a language called hypertext markup language (HTML). As a result, Web software is now a mixture of Web servers (or Web sites) and Web browsers, which are software applications that operate on the user's client computer, communicating with the software operating on the Web server in order to transfer files.
As the power of PC computers grew, the requirements of a graphical Web browser were met, and the Web became the dominant presence on the Internet. Three fundamental events in the last 16 years have brought the Internet and Web to its current large existence: the personal computer (first developed by IBM in 1982); the creation of the Internet itself; and the development of a networked "Web". The next event projected to revolutionize the Web will be the digital subscriber line (DSL), intended to solve the problem of broadband residential access for advanced services.
Digital subscriber line (DSL)4
There are a number of possible communication technologies that can help with the problems of overloading in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) voice network with digital data and interactive broadband services, a common occurrence in telemedicine applications. If an entirely new system was put together, it would include satellite networks, wireless networks, and cable modems. However, the existing PSTN offers millions of copper-based analog local loops. On the analog local loop, frequencies above 4000 Hz can be used, which can be applied to the problem of overloading the PSTN with broadband digital services. It seems reasonable to apply copper-based solutions, if possible, to the issue of providing broadband services through available analog local loops. This is the purpose of DSLs.
The principal characteristics of the current digital subscriber lines are shown in table 2. This type of service uses a family of x-type DSLs. The asymmetric DSL (ADSL) is the service that is furthest along with respect to developed standards. It uses only one wire pair and reaches to 18,000 feet (3.4 miles). It is estimated that the cost of ADSL will be $200 per month plus the cost of an ATV (ADSL termination unit). ADSL employs ADSL modems, one at each end of the line. A splitter device comes between the local exchange and the customer's premises. This splitter allows existing analog voice telephone and other equipment to continue to function on the new lines; it also allows the long holding time data traffic to be rerouted around the PSTN voice switch onto an IP router or an ATM switch.
The xDSL is available here and now. It offers broadband services to and from radiology departments. Its cost is already decreasing due to the large market from the Web to residential homes. The xDSL family, especially ADSL, will significantly impact the radiology department's services (such as ultrasound). This family of products will reduce the cost of teleradiology and provide higher throughput data rates among radiology departments, hospitals, and clinics. AR

Hi all
I had an eye appointment with my ophth last week and they told me that Azasite is now available in the UK, and they've prescribed it. If this is old news to the board please excuse me - I don't lurk here much these days. Also I could be wrong that this is Azasite - I think it's Azithromycin dihydrate according to the patient leaflet.
I've been given 4 x 3 days worth to try 3 days each week for 4 weeks. Is this a dosage that sounds sensible? My ophth had never prescribed it before and wasn't sure.
