Poutine is common dish throughout the Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic regions of Canada which is made up of three items: beef gravy, French fries and cheese curds.
This recipe uses pre-canned gravy, mozzarella cheese, and fries the potatoes from scratch.
- 1 L of vegetable oil for deep frying
- 1 (290 g) can of beef gravy
- 5 medium potatoes
- 2 cups mozzarella or cheese curds
- 1 Deep fat fryer or large stove pot to fry the potatoes
- 1 saucepan or cup suitable for warming gravy
- 1 Serving dish
- Slice potatoes into finger-width wedges and rinse them well to remove any dirt
- Begin warming gravy, keep the temperature low enough for a slow heating
- Heat oil to 185°C (365°F)
- Cook wedges in the oil, this should take about 5 minutes
- Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel mat, to absorb excess oil
- Put cheese over the fries in serving dish
- Pour the gravy over the top and wait until the cheese starts to melt
- Et Voila! Vous avez une poutine.
Notes, tips, and variations[edit]
- Changing the cheese and gravy used in poutine completely changes the dynamic of the dish, a popular variant is to use a chicken or turkey based gravy with mozzarella cheese instead of curds.
- Replacing gravy with salsa, the cheese curds with sour cream, adding diced onions and tomatoes turns poutine into mexipoutine, an item also carried by the likes of Taco Bell under the name "Fries Supreme".
- Replacing the gravy with marinara sauce, adding either loose lean ground beef or crumbled sausage and replacing the cheese curds with mozzarella cheese changes the dish to poutine Italiano, not as popular as the mexipoutine alternative, but used in several fast food restaurants in Toronto, Ontario.

Redlight King Unveil 'Bullet In My Hand' + 'Something for the Pain' Acoustic Videos
Redlight King have been heating up airwaves with their single 'Bullet in My Hand' off of their debut album 'Something For the Pain' and now they have released acoustic videos for both the hit single and album's title track.
In our interview with Redlight King, frontman Kaz told us that 'Bullet In My Hand' is about "taking a chance and making the decision to move forward. That is what it's about and musically I wanted it to rock really hard. The song started with the line "I came out of the darkness / With a bullet in my hand." I thought of it metaphorically as that was the one bullet that I'm gonna finally do myself in with and instead of doing it, sort of put the gun down and came out of it with one more shot."
He went on to say, "It's how I felt at the time, it's still how I feel. What can I say, it's not easy for us sometimes. If people can relate to that song, I'm glad in one way [laughs] and I know how scary it can be but it's definitely a song about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel."
He also added that moving from Canada to Los Angeles partially inspired the album 'Something For the Pain' as a whole. "I'm originally from Hamilton, Ontario, in Canada so I sold all my stuff and made this huge move to Los Angeles and then when I got to L.A., I wrote the first song 'Something for the Pain' and of course that sparked the creation of Redlight King and the band and continuing to write songs for the record."
The album 'Something for the Pain' is available on iTunes. Check out Loudwire's full exclusive interview with Kaz of Redlight King and take a look at the acoustic videos below.

Santa Claus: The Movie
The content on this page is provided by a Time Out partner.
After introducing how Santa and Mrs. Claus came to the North Pole and began their work delivering toys at Christmas time, this routine children's film segues into a story about an evil corporate magnate (John Lithgow). One of Santa's elves (Dudley Moore) goes to work for the nasty tycoon and invents a wild array of far-out toys. Then there is a little boy who does not believe in Santa Claus and a girl who finds out about the toymaker's plans to defraud his company. Santa's reindeer are a little under the weather, not to mention Santa himself. This labyrinth of subplots quickly draws attention away from the story, wherever it is.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Don't be bitter! We've got a very rare bottle of bitters in our hands—and we're looking to give them away. "We" in this case are me and Samantha Harrigan from Nova Marketing and the Cocktail Culture blog. The bitters are specially made for Beefeater 24 by the fine folks at The Bitter Truth. There are currently only 100 bottles in the United States, none of which are actually for sale. Not much is known about the bitters, but check out what Beefeater 24 Brand Ambassador Dan Warner had to say about them:
In order to produce the bitters we send Stephan [Berg, of The Bitter Truth] high proof, straight off the still Beefeater Gin and he uses this as a base. The recipe is Stephan's secret but he did tell me that lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, and 'a few different types of citrus' are featured. They work amazing in martinis and I've also been dashing them in my G&Ts.
Interested in giving them a try? Well, to win this bitter collection gem, you'll have to participate in Beefeater 24's "Don't Be Bitter" contest. All participants will be given an equal shot at winning the bitters—as the winner will be randomly selected from the group. Here's what you have to do to participate:
Post a submission on your blog or website and include the photo of the Beefeater 24 bitters (please download it here and host it yourself) and the title "Don't Be Bitter" to make it official. Then, use the post as a "shout out" to another cocktail blogger—discuss a time when you were jealous of (or "bitter" about) another blogger's booze collection, prized bottle of liquor, a cocktail-related trip they took, or an experience they had. Put any bitterness aside and share the link-love with your fellow cocktail bloggers. Make sure you link back to this post so your name gets thrown in the hat. You've got the whole month of October to get your post up [final deadline: 11:59pm Eastern time, 10/31/09] and the winner will be announced here the first week of November. Get on board, bitters-lovers!
I think Sam's handling the actual mechanics of this, in terms of making the random pick, having the bitters shipped out, and so on. Any questions, please get them in to us by the end of the day Friday. Sam's getting hitched on Saturday and will be on her honeymoon for the week following her wedding.
Oh, and you want to know what I'm bitter about? That I can't win my own freakin' contest!

Nokia previously announced plans to shut down the flagship store in Shanghai China, but now the Finnish manufacturer has closed its doors and ceased to accept customers at its brick and mortar establishment. The flagship store in Shanghai is the latest in a series of shutdowns on Nokia's retail front.
It wasn't a successful endeavour, according to TechinAsia. The website notes that the "Nokia Flagship Store SH" Sina Weibo account had only 928 reposts of its "Goodbye Shanghai" post over the last three days. The account itself only accumulated 4,251 fans - not exactly a massive following.
It's odd as the report states that the Nokia Shanghai store opened in 2007 when Nokia, at that time remained China's top phone manufacturer with the Symbian platform. This was before iOS and Android took off. Nokia has since fallen behind in China and has only started to regain traction with Windows Phone 8.
We've previously reported on this very store being swamped with consumers who were actively looking at Lumia Windows Phone hardware, but it would make sense for Nokia to cut costs where ever possible, especially if such activity was not maintained after a product launch.
If the store proves to not be as popular as local retail and mobile phone specialists, Nokia would be better off spending the funds on marketing, partnerships and support at other establishments. That said, Windows Phone has been performing rather well in the competitive and important market, even taking more shares than iOS.
Nokia is continuing to tackle China with the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520, two new Lumia Windows Phones that are launching in multiple regions. How Nokia and Microsoft will be able to continue pushing Windows Phone will be interesting to monitor, especially with the growing pressure from Android.

Toyota Access for your Car Finance
No matter where you're going, Toyota's with you. Toyota Access is an innovative way to put yourself in control of your car loan when you're buying a new or approved demonstrator Toyota. You choose the car you want today, and have the freedom to change in the future. So as your lifestyle changes or as your business grows, Toyota Access provides the flexibility, certainty and assurance you need to feel confident about the road ahead.
Why Toyota Access?
Available to both personal and business customers, Toyota Access puts you in control - with a car loan that comes with a Guaranteed Future Value*, lower repayments^, a fixed interest rate and options for the future.
Why choose a Personal Toyota Access Car Loan?
Toyota Access car loans come with a fixed interest rate and locked repayments as standard. Toyota Access also puts you in control of your future if your circumstances change, with trade, keep or return options.
Key Benefits
Guaranteed Future Value*
With the certainty of a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV), you'll know that at the end of your car loan term you won't owe more than your car is worth (subject to fair wear and tear and agreed kilometres being met). And the shorter loan periods and lower repayments^ mean you can keep reliving that new car feeling every few years.
A car loan to suit you
With Toyota Access, you can organise your car loan in a way that suits you. You can choose your Toyota, as well as the deposit you want to pay (if any). You can also choose your loan term (up to four years), and estimate the number of kilometres you expect to travel by the end of the term. Plus, you can even choose if you would like to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
More choice when your loan ends
When your loan ends, you also have the choice of three flexible options: trade, keep or return your Toyota.
Throughout your car loan, enjoy the certainty of low fixed repayments^, a fixed interest rate and the reassurance that, with a GFV, you know where you stand now and in the future.
Lifetime of Advantages
When you buy a new Toyota, you're getting more than a new car. You're also getting a team of people that will care for and protect you, and your car, from the moment you drive out of your Toyota Dealership. Benefits include our Toyota Service Advantage which gives you the peace of mind of set, capped price, full logbook servicing. And, when you take out Toyota Car Insurance#, you'll be getting quality repairs with Toyota Genuine Parts as standard, a Lifetime Repair Guarantee, on repairs authorised by Toyota Insurance and a new Toyota replacement after a total loss on vehicles up to 3 years old.Find our more about our Toyota Lifetime of Advantages
What is a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV)?
A GFV is the minimum value of your Toyota at the end of the loan term, as determined by Toyota Finance using the loan term and kilometers chosen by you. The GFV becomes the final repayment of your loan. Depending on your circumstances when you come to the end of your loan term Toyota Finance will pay you the agreed GFV to put towards your final loan repayment, which if you've met all the fair wear and tear and kilometer conditions should be equal to your final repayment. The GFV provides you with that extra peace of mind knowing where you stand now and in the future.
How it works- now
Choose your Toyota, deposit (if any), car loan term (up to four years), kilometres you expect to travel, and if you'd like to make repayments weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
How Personal Toyota Access works - Getting Started
There are five easy steps to getting started:
- Choose your Toyota. Whether for personal or business use, you can select a new or demo model Toyota that works for you and your budget.
- Choose the deposit you want to pay (if any).
- Choose your car loan term (up to four years).
- Estimate the number of kilometres you expect to travel by the end of the car loan term. Your Dealer can provide you with kilometer band guidelines.
- Choose when you would like to pay: weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Next steps
Toyota Finance then calculates the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV)* for your Toyota, with the final payment equal to your GFV. We then finalise your loan package, with a fixed interest rate and repayment schedule that has been tailored to suit your needs. From the time you drive away, you'll enjoy lower repayments^ and the reassurance of knowing what lies ahead.
How it works- future
When your car loan term ends, you have the choice of three flexible options: trade, keep or return your vehicle.
How Personal Toyota Access works - End of Term
When your loan term ends, you have the choice of three flexible options. You'll just need to let your Toyota Dealer know what you would like to do between 120-70 days before your car loan term ends.
Trade If you'd like to upgrade your Toyota for a new model, visit your preferred dealer. If the trade-in value is higher than your outstanding loan balance, you can put the difference towards your new Toyota, or you can keep it.
If you'd like to keep your Toyota, simply pay the remaining balance owing on your loan (including the final payment), or we can help you refinance that amount, if you don't have the cash on hand (conditions apply).
Toyota Finance will pay you the Guaranteed Future Value agreed at the start of your car loan, (subject to fair wear and tear and agreed kilometres being met) and put it against the remaining balance owing on your account.
Returns Guide
To find out more about the returns process, we're here for you with a step by step guide to returning your Toyota.Download
About Fair Wear and Tear
Fair wear and tear is important if you want to take advantage of the return option. Our Fair Wear and Tear Guidelines take into account the condition of your car based on the loan term chosen and agreed kilometers. In our comprehensive guide, you will find examples of what is acceptable and unacceptable fair wear and tear, and as part of fair wear and tear, you have a number of obligations for the care of your vehicle throughout the term of your car loan including its maintenance, appearance and mechanical condition.
Of course, If you decide to trade-in for a new car or decide to sell it privately, you don't have to meet our fair wear and tear guidelines. However, the condition of your car will impact the price you can expect to get.

Jean Trevoux's Motto-bodied Packard during the 1953 Carrera Panamericana.
In yesterday's MQ comments, the topic of big cars, generally, and Packards, in particular, came up with respect to the original Carrera Panamericana. As it turned out, the driver of yesterday's Monte Carlo Rally winning Delahaye, Jean Trevoux, also campaigned a custom bodied Packard in the 1953 and 1954 Carrera Panamericana. Both, the driver, and his car, have interesting stories.
Trevoux, an engineer by trade, was the top test driver for the French manufacturer Hotchkiss in the 1930′s. Trevoux was also a gifted race car driver, and a regular competitor at Le Mans during the era; However, he was even better on the rally stages, winning the highly challenging Rallye du Maroc twice, and the Monte Carlo Rally four times; Most notable of which were Trevoux's wins in 1939 (the last rally before the war) and 1949(the first rally after the war) in the same car, a Hotchkiss 686GS with the same co-driver, Marcel Lesurque.
In 1940, Trevoux and Luigi Chenetti came to the US to prepare a pair of Maserati 8CLTs for the Indianapolis 500. Both men found themselves stranded in the US by the quickly shifting geopolitics of the day. While Chinetti spent the war years wining and dining with the top of the social registry building the personal relationships that he'd later use to sell Ferraris in America, Trevoux used his engineering skills in the defense industry building drive trains for tanks. After the war, Trevoux went to Mexico, met and married his wife, and opened a bar and restaurant, "La Cucaracha". With the French auto industry's slow post-war recovery, Jean was able to meet his obligations as Hotchkiss's top test driver, compete in a few rallies, and still be a successful club owner in Mexico City. When Enrique Martín-Moreno organised the first Panamericana in 1950, Trevoux purchased a Motto bodied Delahaye 175s. Trevoux finished 9th in the 1950 Carrera then shipped it to Europe, where he used it to win the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally.
Trevoux and co-driver, Jean Bachereaux, in their Packard Motto Special.
In 1952 and 1953, Trevoux competed in the Carrera with a standard Packard 200 coupe. He liked the solid build and engineering of the Packard and the power that its 327 cubic inch made. Trevoux realized that a lighter car, based on the Packard chassis and running gear could be a serious challenger for the next Carrera. So, he shipped a Packard 200 chassis to his old friends at Carrozzeria Rocco Motto in Turin. While no one has seen the car or Motto's plans, it is believed that car had tubular steel frame supporting its aluminum body panels.
Motto narrowed the Packard's track by 4 inches, removed a foot off each end of the chassis while leaving the wheelbase unchanged, and significantly lowered the car's stance. The drastic reduction in the chassis size, coupled with its snazzy aluminum clothes made the Motto Special 400 pounds lighter than a standard Packard 200.
Trevoux sent the Packard's straight eight to legendary drag racing pioneer, Howard Jahanson for a mild upgrade. Johanson slightly over bored the Packard's eight, and added a custom 3/4 Howard camshaft. Johanson built a log-style, custom manifold for its four Stromberg carburetors. When completed, Johanson's engine made over 300 hp. That power was fed via a Borg-Warner T85 3 speed transmission with overdrive to a 3:91 rear end. The front suspension had twin shocks at each corner and a stabilizer bar added to the stock front suspension. The larger, drum brakes from a Packard 400 boosted its stopping power.
The interior was comfortable space working space for Trevoux and his co-drivers, Bachereaoux and Gonzalez. The dashboard is stock from a 1952 Packard 200, with a Nardi wheel, and padded, custom aluminum seats. Naturally, the back seat was removed. The Motto Special failed to finish in 1953 due to cracked oil pan, but returned with a strong, 13th place finish the following year.
Trevoux retained ownership of the Motto Special for several years, before selling it to an unknown collector in Mexico City. It is believed that the car remains in "as raced" condition. His restaurant, "La Cucaracha" was ultimately sold to Don Pedro N. Rodríguez, father of Ricardo and Pedro. Trevoux actively supported the Rodriguez brothers and Moises Solana in their racing careers. Jean continued to race and rally for the rest of the decade. Trevoux and Enrique Martín-Moreno formed Autos Francia, who imported Peugeots to Mexico. Trevoux passed away in 1981.

What a fantastic tale! Great research, Gary. Wouldn't it be fantastic to get that car out and restore it for demos - or even Original Pan Am!

Supposedly, the Packard Motto special has remained in the same private collection in Mexico since Trevoux sold the car in the late 70's.

The average pay for a Sales And Marketing Manager is {{pay}} per hour.
The average pay for a Sales And Marketing Manager is HK$358,406 per year.
|Total Pay (

It does not include equity (stock) compensation, cash value of retirement benefits, or the value of other non-cash benefits (e.g. healthcare).)
Job Description for Sales and Marketing Manager
Sales and marketing managers may play a dual role, as sales and marketing are usually two different departments or functions. Marketing is the development of ideas to reach people and sell products. Sales is the actual implementation and use of those ideas developed by marketing to sell the product. Sales and marketing managers must possess a high level of knowledge and insight into what customers want and need, as well as what customers don't even know they want or need yet.Read More...
Sales and marketing managers work in various industries in which a products and/or services are sold. They generally work in an office, with typical office hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They also spend a lot of time with sales and/or marketing teams in conference rooms. They usually report to a higher-level director, but sometimes they direct to a company president or CEO. Sales and marketing managers make use of regular office equipment, including phones, computers, pens and paper, and other typical office supplies. Sometimes they may be required to travel to meet in conjunction with another sales/marketing team in their company or to finalize a sale. Their main duties include overseeing teams of sales and marketing representatives. Sales and marketing managers must collect ideas and determine which one are the most useful, while also building on those ideas and putting them into use. Sales and marketing managers must have a wealth of experience as a sales or marketing representative, and they must also have a bachelor's degree, preferably in the related fields of business management or marketing. They must be able to coordinate at a high level to get the highest level of production out of a team while utilizing the ideas formulated by their team.
The role of a sales and marketing manager is very involved in both generating ideas for new products or just finding a better way to sell an old product.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
US Secretary of State John Kerry wrapped up his most recent visit to the region on Wednesday, declaring it "very constructive." But the Israeli and Palestinian officials he met with were not singing the same tune.
Kerry was dispatched to the region to follow-up President Barack Obama's visit and accompanying charm offensive last month. The hope was that having successfully softened Israeli hearts toward Obama, Washington would be able to kick-start the stagnant peace process.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said that the economic incentives Kerry had offered for renewing peace talks were not enough. Abbas was adamant that he would not talk peace with Israel until the Jewish state releases jailed Palestinian terrorists, even those who have murdered Jews, and agrees as a pre-condition to meet all Arab land demands.
Israeli Minister Silvan Shalom pointed to these unacceptable demands to show that it is the Palestinian side that continues to "place every barrier possible" to actually moving forward toward peace. Israel, noted Shalom, has been trying to return to the negotiating table, without preconditions, for the past four years.
In his meeting with Kerry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was time for his side to start making some preconditions of its own, and insisted that renewed talks much focus much more heavily on the issue of Palestinian recognition of Israel as the state of the Jewish people.

The knee jerk is an example of the simplest type of reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve that receives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord, where it is relayed to a motor nerve. This causes the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and jerk the leg up. This reflex, or simple reflex arc, involves only two nerves and one synapse. The leg begins to jerk up while the brain is just becoming aware of the tap.
Other simple reflexes, the stretch reflexes, help the body maintain its balance. Every time a muscle is stretched, it reacts with a reflex impulse to contract. As a person reaches or leans, the skeletal muscles tense and tighten, tending to hold him and keep him from falling. Even in standing still, the stretch reflexes in the skeletal muscles make many tiny adjustments to keep the body erect.
The "hot stove" reflex is more complex, calling into play many different muscles. Before the hand is pulled away, an impulse must go from the sensory nerve endings in the skin to a center in the spinal cord, from there to a motor center, and then out along the motor nerves to shoulder, arm, and hand muscles. Trunk and leg muscles respond to support the body in its sudden change of position, and the head and eyes turn to look at the cause of the injury. All this happens while the person is becoming aware of the burning sensation. A reflex that protects the body from injury, as this one does, is called a nociceptive reflex. Sneezing, coughing, and gagging are similar reflexes in response to foreign bodies in the nose and throat, and the wink reflex helps protect the eyes from injury.
A conditioned reflex is one acquired as the result of experience. When an action is done repeatedly the nervous system becomes familiar with the situation and learns to react automatically, and a new reflex is built into the system. Walking, running, and typewriting are examples of activities that require large numbers of complex muscle coordinations that have become automatic.

accommodative reflex See reflex accommodation; near reflex.
reflex arc See pupil light reflex.
blinking reflex Blinking in response to various stimulations such as a light source or a mechanical threat. See retinotectal pathway.
cat's eye reflex A whitish, bright reflection observed in the normally black pupil in several conditions, such as leukocoria, retinoblastoma, Coats' disease or persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. It resembles the reflection from the tapetum lucidum of a cat when a light is shined at night.
consensual light reflex See pupil light reflex.
corneal reflex 1. Blinking in response to a threat, or to tactile stimulation of the cornea, as for example when measuring objectively the corneal touch threshold. Associated responses include lacrimation and miosis. 2. Image formed by reflection of light from the cornea (Fig. R5). See aesthesiometer; Hirschberg's method; Krimsky's method; pupillometer; apparent strabismus.
direct light reflex See pupil light reflex.
eyeball compression reflex See oculocardiac reflex.
fixation reflex Psycho-optical reflex consisting of an involuntary movement of the eye (or eyes) aimed at placing on the foveola the retinal image of an object that was formed in the retinal periphery. See psycho-optical reflex; re-fixation reflex.
foveal reflex Tiny reflection from the concave surface of the foveal depression of the retina seen in ophthalmoscopy. It is not usually visible in old eyes.
fundus reflex Light reflected by the fundus of the eye, as seen in retinoscopy and ophthalmoscopy. It appears as a red glow in the plane of the pupil in retinoscopy. It is absent when the eye has a dense cataract. Syn. red reflex.
fusion reflex See motor fusion.
hemianopic pupillary reflex In hemianopia, a loss of pupillary constriction when light falls on the blind side of the retina while pupillary constriction is maintained when light stimulates the unaffected side of the retina. Syn. Wernicke's hemianopic pupil; Wernicke's pupillary reaction; Wernicke's pupillary reflex; Wernicke's sign.
indirect light reflex See pupil light reflex.
lacrimal reflex Secretion of tears in response to irritation of the cornea or conjunctiva as, for example, when first wearing contact lenses (hard in particular), but it may also be induced by eyestrain, glare, laughing, etc. Syn. lacrimation reflex; tearing reflex; weeping reflex. See lacrimal apparatus; tear secretion; Schirmer's test.

light reflex 1. That light which appears in the pupil in retinoscopy. It is light reflected by the retina. Syn. retinoscopic light. 2. Any reflected light. See pupil light reflex.
near reflex Reflex evoked by a blurred retinal image, as when fixating from far to near. It consists of three responses: (1) increased convexity of the crystalline lens; (2) constriction of the pupils; and (3) convergence of the eyes. This reflex is not a pure reflex since each of the three components can act independently of the other two; convergence by means of prisms, accommodation by means of lenses and miosis by light stimulation. Syn. accommodative reflex; near-triad reflex; synkinetic near reflex. See mechanism of accommodation; reflex accommodation; accommodative response.
near-triad reflex See near reflex.
oculocardiac reflex A decrease in pulse rate following compression of the eyeball or traction on the extraocular muscles during ocular surgery. It may produce a systolic cardiac arrest. Syn. Ascher's phenomenon; Ascher's reflex; eyeball compression reflex.
optokinetic reflex See vestibulo-ocular reflex.
postural reflex A reflex which helps to maintain static or dynamic posture of the body, for example, the righting reflex, in which visual stimuli help to maintain a correct position of the head in space by activating the muscles of the neck and limbs. See static eye reflex.
psycho-optical reflex Reflexes involving the eye which are mediated by the occipital cortex such as the accommodative, fixation, fusion, version and vergence reflexes.
pupil reflex Any alteration of the pupil size in response to stimuli other than light (e.g. a sudden noise). See pupil light reflex.
pupil light reflex 1. Constriction of the pupil in response to light stimulation of the retina. The response of an eye to light stimulation can occur either with a light shining on it directly (the direct light reflex) or when the other eye is stimulated (the consensual or indirect light reflex). The reflex arc consists of four neurons beyond the ganglion cells. The first afferent neuron transmits nervous impulses from the retina to the two pretectal olivary nuclei, located on the lateral and anterior side of the super-ior colliculi, in response to light stimulation of the photoreceptors. The second neurons, called the internuncial neurons, connect each pretectal olivary nucleus to both Edinger-Westphal nuclei which form part of the oculomotor nuclei. The third efferent neurons connect the latter nuclei, via the third nerve (oculomotor nerve) to the ciliary ganglion where there is a synapse. The fourth efferent neurons connect the latter, via the short ciliary nerves, to the sphincter pupillae muscle of each iris and constrict the pupil. Light stimulation of the central region of the retina produces a greater pupillary response than peripheral stimulation. The efferent path for pupil constriction represents the parasympathetic innervation (Fig. R6). Note: recent research points to a different pathway for the second afferent neuron: almost all of the fibres from each pretectal olivary nucleus project to the contralateral Edinger-Westphal nucleus. 2. Dilatation of the pupil in response to a reduction of the light stimulation of the retina. It is effected by sympathetic innervation, which originates in the hypothalamus and descends down the brainstem to the ciliospinal centre (of Bulge), located between C8 and T2. From there fibres pass to the superior cervical ganglion in the neck, then efferent fibres ascend along the internal carotid artery until they join the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. The fibres reach the dilator pupillae muscle of the iris via the nasociliary and long ciliary nerves, which enter the eyeball behind the equator. Syn. light reflex. See pupillary fibres; retinotectal pathway; pretectum; efferent pupillary defect.
red reflex See fundus reflex.
re-fixation reflex This reflex occurs while fixating one object and another in the visual field attracts the attention. The eye then turns to fixate on the new object. This is a special case of the fixation reflex.
retinoscopic reflex See light reflex; retinoscope.
righting reflex See postural reflex.
static eye reflex A higher order postural reflex which helps to maintain the eye static with respect to the visual environment by action on the extraocular muscles (possibly via the utricular receptors of the vestibular system) during head or body movements. Syn. compensatory eye movements.
reflex tearing See lacrimal reflex.
tonic neck reflex Orientation of the head, eyes and body in response to proprioceptive information provided by the activity of the muscles of the neck. See proprioception.
vergence reflex A disjunctive fixation reflex in response to an object that moves closer or further than the original position of the fixation point. See disjunctive eye movements.
version reflex A conjugate fixation reflex in response to an object moving in the same frontal plane. See version.
vestibulo-ocular reflex A conjugate movement of the eyes in the direction opposite to a head movement. This reflex is triggered by stimulation of the semicircular canals. It is aimed at maintaining a stable image on the retina during head movement. This reflex responds best at high velocities and frequencies of the visual stimulus. At low velocities and frequencies the stabilization of the ret-inal image is attempted by the optokinetic reflex, which is triggered only by retinal stimulation: this latter reflex complements the vestibulo-ocular reflex. See nystagmus; optokinetic.
weeping reflex See lacrimal reflex.
Wernicke's pupillary reflex See hemianopic pupillary reflex.
white pupillary reflex See leukocoria.

Baggies fine with Morrison release
West Brom insist they have no axe to grind with midfielder James Morrison despite the player going against doctor's orders by making himself immediately available for Scotland duty at the weekend.
Morrison suffered a head injury in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal which required stitches and was advised by Albion's medical staff not to link up with his national squad until Monday.
Morrison, who is desperate to be involved in Scotland's glamour friendly against Brazil in London on Sunday, made the journey to Scotland on Saturday. However, West Brom have no problem with his release. A statement from the club read: "Some of the articles we've seen suggest James has defied club orders but that could not be further from the truth."
It continued: "James was scheduled to fly up to Scotland on Saturday night but due to the fact he was suffering from concussion, we thought it would be wise to delay his flight until Monday.
"This decision had the full backing of the Scottish FA's medical department and James has now linked up with the Scotland squad and is preparing for the Brazil friendly.
"Due to the fact we have two Scotland internationals at the club - James and Graham Dorrans - we have developed an excellent relationship with Scotland's medical department and they were more than happy with how we handled James' situation last weekend."
Morrison earlier told the Daily Record: "The doctor tried to stop me going but I said nothing is going to stop me having the chance to play against Brazil.
"I'm really looking forward to this game. You don't often get the chance to play Brazil and test yourself."
Morrison has been a key player in West Brom's recent upturn in form and the former Middlesbrough man believes testing himself against the five-time World Cup winners is too big an opportunity to miss.
"It's the kind of match you dreamed about playing as a kid. Taking on Spain was a great one which will stay with me forever and I'm sure this will be the same," he said.

SideCar App Brings Free Real-time Video, Photo, Location and Contact Sharing
Have you ever been on a phone call and wished you could initiate video to show your caller what you're talking about? Or even send contact information while still on the call? The Sidecar app for iPhone and Android enables live sharing during phone calls.
With Sidecar, people can call and share:
- See What I See Video: Sidecar users can share amazing real-time videos of what's happening around them.
- Photos: Sidecar users can snap brilliant pictures, or share photos from their phone's library, instantly with other Sidecar users.
- Locations: Sidecar lets users look at an interactive map, see where they are in relation to the person they're calling, and share locations to meet up.
- Contact Information: Sidecar lets users pass along and integrate contacts from their phone's address book.
- Whisper Text: Send a private text message to another Sidecar user during a call, and keep the conversation going when it's hard to talk.
Yes, this is different that just making a call and utilizing your smartphone's data, LTE schtick. With Sidecar, you now have many more options than just browsing the web while you talk to somebody who you CLEARLY don't have the energy to converse with.
Another cool feature with Sidecar is that it's free to use, and the person you're calling doesn't need the app. As long as you (the caller) are connected to Wifi, any U.S. and Canada calls are free. If you're calling a user without the app, you will only be able to share with them. When the call is over, they will receive a text to download the app to share using the app's "Smart Calling" features in return. Once they download the app, calls to other Sidecar users are free anywhere in the world.
To me, this means no more app-switching. Simply use Sidecar for all your conversation-related needs. Of course, you will need to get other folks with an iPhone or Android to download the app. But the ability to do more that just make calls may enough of an incentive. So check it out and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Add the new broker to the imq.cluster.brokerlist property in the cluster configuration file.
Issue the following command to any broker in the cluster:
imqcmd reload cls
This forces each broker to reload the imq.cluster.brokerlist property. It is not necessary to issue this command to every broker in the cluster; executing it for any one broker will cause all of them to reload the cluster configuration.
(Optional) Set the value of the imq.cluster.url property in the new broker's instance configuration file (config.properties) to point to the cluster configuration file.
Start the new broker.
If you did not perform step 3, use the -D option on the imqbrokerd command line to set the value of imq.cluster.url to the location of the cluster configuration file.

Here is a recipe that I found on the Kraft website. I have never made a green bean casserole, but I thought this one looked particularly good. So I decided to give it a whirl and I am glad I did! I found something else that I like!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
1 can (32 oz.) Green Beans
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Cream of Mushroom soup
1/2 lb. (8 oz.) Velveeta, cut into 1/2 in. cubes
1 1/2 c. water
1/4 c. butter
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix
Heat oven to 350.
Mix green beans and Cream of Mushroom soup and put in a 2 qt. baking dish. Place Velveeta cubes on top of that.
In a pot, bring water to boil and place your butter in it and let it melt. After butter has melted, pour that mixture over the stuffing and stir just until moistened. Spoon over bean mixture.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until heated through.

No. 17 Iowa State rallies past UNI in OT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For the first time this season, Iowa State found itself staring at a loss — and a blowout one at that.
The Cyclones took the lead with an historic run, lost it on a banked-in 3 to end regulation and grabbed it for good with a dominant performance in overtime.
Melvin Ejim scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half and OT and 17th-ranked Iowa State rallied from 18 points down to beat Northern Iowa 91-82 on Saturday for its best start in 10 years.
Georges Niang added a career-high 22 points for Iowa State (7-0). It snapped a 3-game losing streak against the rival Panthers (3-5), whose slower tempo often flummoxed the up-and-down Cyclones.
"This happens, where you come out a little bit flat, the other team senses it, jumps on you. Then you're playing from behind on a team that's try to take time off the shot clock and control it," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Once we started defending, getting active hands, getting turnovers…we turned it around."
Iowa State went on a 23-2 run midway through the second half to erase a 49-31 deficit. But Northern Iowa's Seth Tuttle banked in a 3 with 1.3 seconds left to force OT.
Ejim responded with back-to-back 3s to put the Cyclones ahead 82-75 with 1:18 left. Iowa State was 5-of-7 shooting in OT and 8 of 9 from the line.
Nate Buss had 23 points and Wes Washpun scored 18 with eight assists for Northern Iowa, which was outscored 60-33 in the final 21:46.
"Great teams find a way to win games like this," Hoiberg said.
There was nothing great about Iowa State in the first 24 minutes, when it fell behind 18 points on a neutral floor in Des Moines.
It was by far the biggest deficit the Cyclones had seen all year.
It didn't last long.
Iowa State quickly cut the Northern Iowa's lead to six when Ejim banked in a 19-footer. Niang gave the Cyclones the lead on back-to-back baskets, and DeAndre Kane found Ejim for an alley-oop dunk that put them ahead 54-51 with 9:04 to go.
Ejim's 3 made it 70-64 with 1:14 left in regulation, and it looked as if the Cyclones had finally sealed the win.
But Tuttle, a 6-foot-8 post player, threw up a desperation heave from the top of the key that somehow found the glass and the net.
"We had that momentum. We fought back and put ourselves in a position to win. We were energized after that play. We definitely thought we had a good chance going into overtime," Buss said.
But Northern Iowa just didn't have enough left to stop the Cyclones in OT.
Kane had 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for the Cyclones, and Dustin Hogue added 17 points and 14 rebounds for his second straight double-double.
Iowa State had made a habit out of blowing away overmatched opponents as quickly as possible.
But it didn't take long for the Panthers to prove they could do more than just hang with the Cyclones.
Back-to-back 3s by freshman Jeremy Morgan made it 22-9 Northern Iowa. Hoiberg called timeout to settle his team down, and they responded with a 10-0 run to get back in the game.
The Panthers kept coming though.
Northern Iowa's half-court offense gave the Cyclones fits, and Tuttle's 3-point play helped give the Panthers a 42-29 halftime lead.
It was by far the worst half Iowa State had played all year. It only got worse after the break, as Northern Iowa quickly extended its lead to 49-31.
But the Cyclones rallied behind their Ejim, Kane and their powerful transition game to avoid yet another loss to their instate rivals.
"First half was just plain tough to get. Just couldn't get anything going as team. Our body language was bad. We just couldn't get on a roll. At halftime we came out and started playing our type of basketball and making shots and it really just turned over for us," Ejim said.

- After you order, the item gets packed and prepped. Once it's out the door, you'll get a tracking number to see where your item is in transit.
How will it get to me?
- Smaller items will come like any FedEx/UPS delivery that comes to your home or business.
- Larger items will go on freight truck. They'll call you to schedule a good date/time for you to receive the items.
Why does it take so long to get to me?
- To bring the best possible service and make sure items are delivered without damages or blemishes, we have delivery partners that do nothing but deliver furniture. Does this make things a little slower? Yes. But we'd rather you have your items in perfect condition but a little slower, than damaged or blemished.
- Many small parcel items will take the standard delivery time of 3-7 business days, depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse.
How do I cancel?
- As long as it's not on the truck and ready to go, you can cancel it without any fees!
- Once it's on the truck it'll be considered a return
How do I return an item?
- Fill out the return form within two days of delivery and we'll try to make the process as painless as possible.
- We do not charge restocking fees for returned items, but shipping charges are deducted
- Even though shipping is free, the costs associated with getting it to your location will be deducted

Thanks for the help. Love BTP 1.5 on my Mac.
Water chemistry ingredients print with the rest of the ingredients when the recipe is printed. Just make sure the "Ingredients" checkbox is checked when configuring the print-out.

Would you build a buy-and-hold financial portfolio from only junk bonds and no Treasuries by considering only price, not also risk? Not for long. Yet those who say cheap natural gas is killing alternatives—solar, wind, nuclear—make the same error. In truth, they're doing the math wrong: the gas isn't really that cheap.
"Cheap gas" reflects only the bare spot price of the commodity without adding the value of its price volatility. Yet such competitors as efficiency and renewables have no fuel and hence no fuel-price volatility: once built, they're as financially riskless as Treasuries. Of course, much gas is sold not at spot but on long-term contract, especially to its biggest user—electricity generators. But for other players, it's vital not to become the patsy in the poker game: basic financial economics says asset comparisons must value and equalize risk.
One way is to compare fuel-free competing technologies with constant-price gas. A broker will take the price-volatility risk for a fee based on the market's risk valuation, discoverable from the "straddle"—the sum of the prices of simultaneously sold put and call options. A year ago, when the cheap-gas mania was taking hold, gas-price volatility five years out was worth more than recent spot gas prices. Even today, with lower price and volatility (whose value automatically falls with price), gas's price volatility alone, over a time horizon appropriate for comparison with durable assets, is worth roughly what gas now sells for. Omitting price volatility thus understates gas's true cost (excluding its fixed delivery costs) by about twofold—a very material error.
A leading promoter of shale-gas fracking, asked about this at a recent financial conference, replied, "Trust me!" Gas, he claimed, would remain very cheap for a very long time. So how much gas would he contract to sell for a constant $2–3 per thousand cubic feet for 20–30 years, backed by solid assets unlinked to hydrocarbon prices? Probably none.
Actually, you can buy gas today for delivery at least a decade hence. Sure enough, it costs 2–3 times more, or about $6. So why doesn't a fracking promoter lock in huge profits by shorting gas futures? Because shale gas (unless sweetened by valuable liquid byproducts) has lately sold at below its cash production cost. The reasons include frenetic drilling (driven by use-it-or-lose-it leases and the need to book big reserves to raise cash), pricey oil spurring plays in oily shales, and filled storage due to a mild winter. Those low 2012 natural gas prices will probably prove as transient as the even lower real prices of 1995–2000.
The gas industry's inherent short-term price volatility is due to weather, storage, trade, and other factors. The April 2012 low gas price rose 31% by the end of May and doubled for delivery two years hence. Uncertainties increase further out because economies are complex and unpredictable. The fracking revolution didn't repeal basic economics: to get $6–8 gas, just assume $3–4 gas, use it accordingly, and watch supply and demand reequilibrate at higher prices.
In fact, traders' confounded attempts to forecast supply and demand dynamics for natural gas have helped accentuate this volatility. The track record of official price forecasts is abysmal (see Figure), and private forecasts weren't much better. Three times in the past 15 years, huge investments—such as $100-odd billion worth of mistimed combined-cycle gas turbine generators bought in the late '90s—were painfully stranded or misdirected when gas price forecasts shifted abruptly.
Predicting gas supply and demand is unlikely to get much easier. Abundant domestic gas could paradoxically exacerbate price volatility. One reason is trade. Unlike oil, bulk gas has been delivered almost entirely by regional pipelines, de-linking prices between the major markets in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. But huge new export facilities will abruptly send liquefied gas toward the best price, rippling supply adjustments across the global network. U.S. gas, for example, may veer to Japan, where gas fetches $16 because it's still (for now) contractually linked to oil prices. Exporters would get a windfall; other Americans would pay higher gas prices. Since major shale gas reserves are not just in North America but also such places as China, Argentina, Mexico, Australia, and South Africa, easier global capital markets or faster national gas development could speed gas globalization, with all its benefits and travails.
Demand is no easier to predict. Finding gas in places previously "unpiped" will create additional thirst. So will competition in electricity, where gas took a tenth of coal's market during 2005–10 (though nuclear prospects evaporated years before gas prices fell). Energy-intensive industries like petrochemicals and ammonia nimbly shift global marginal production toward cheaper gas. A trend to reward utilities for cutting customers' bills, not selling them more gas and electricity, has spawned huge new efficiency industries; those plus new building codes in half the states are flattening electricity demand growth. Conversely, new markets are emerging: one major heavy truck maker expects 25% of its 2012 sales to burn natural gas. This tangle of savings, shifts, and substitutions further clouds the crystal ball.
Finally, add to these imponderable moving parts all of fracking's technical, regulatory, and environmental uncertainties. Can we really believe we have irreversibly shifted to a "new normal" of low, stable gas prices, so this time will be different? The idea feels a little naïve.
To be clear, our argument is not to avoid the use of gas. We have substantial conventional gas reserves, and may be able to economically leverage a sustainable and environmentally responsible shale gas resource, too. But these resources should be developed prudently and used efficiently, counting gas's full price including volatility. Doing or expecting otherwise risks enlarging the previous three misforecasts' investment disasters.
And just as a financial portfolio manager balances yield and risk across different asset types, it's important not to lose sight of the stable Treasuries in our energy portfolio. Energy efficiency and renewables eliminate fuel price risk. Efficiency opportunities abound worldwide wherever people and economic activity are (especially where growth is fastest, since it's easier to build right than fix later). Efficiency has compelling economics today and an untapped potential far exceeding our newfound gas bounty. Renewables are similarly available in massive quantitities and increasingly at competitive cost, so starting in 2008 they've captured half the world's market in new generating capacity. In 2011, non-hydro renewables won $225 billion of global private investment, added 84 billion watts of capacity, and invested their trillionth dollar since 2004.
We hope lingering uncertainties about shale gas will be satisfactorily resolved over the coming decade. If they are, we'll enjoy more and cheaper gas than the futures market now believes, gaining optionality that cuts other energy risks. But if not, we won't be unduly disappointed, because in the long run, America may not need all that extra gas anyway. Our team's new study Reinventing Fire shows how we can harness business for profit to run a 2.6-fold bigger U.S. economy in 2050 with one-third less natural gas, no oil or coal or nuclear energy, and $5 trillion cheaper.
Now that's an energy portfolio worthy of investment.

Good Natural Gas News Today, What About Tomorrow
Managing Natural Gas Volatility: The Answer Is Blowing In The Wind
Natural Gas Boom Won't Stall U.S. Renewables
Thanks for another great article. It seems that the public's memory is short and reminding us all with the true facts is needed. Keep up the good work!
A prediction:Natural gas will not remain cheap for long for several reasons:1. The inherent environmental risks of fracking will result in more regulations, higher costs and ultimately less fracking.2. Production from fracked wells decline rapidly, and depletion is much quicker than gas obtained from conventional drilling. 3. The reflexive move to gas for large scale uses (utilities, transportation) base on its present costs will dramatically increase demand.The convergence of these 3 factors will result in much higher prices within a relatively short period of perhaps 5 years.
Seems to me that our Nation should be on the fast track to small nuclear reactors like LIFTR using plentiful Thorium with a liquid salt cooling core. No risk to a melt down, small, cheap and would consume the weapons grade plutonium that we have agreed to get rid of. This would generate electricity cheap for the next few hundred years or more.
With the vast amounts of coal generation that China is installing, I find this quote from the article hard to believe. Could someone provide the data to support this?"Renewables are similarly available in massive quantitities and increasingly at competitive cost, so starting in 2008 they've captured half the world's market in new generating capacity."-Erik
Natural gas if America wants to keep it's price as low as possible then has to learn to conserve it, use it more efficiently than is being done today.Natural gas can be consumed to almost 100% energy efficiency. With the technology of Condensing Flue Gas Heat Recovery the energy can be recovered from the waste exhaust gases, so this recovered heat energy can still be utilized back in the building or facility. COOL exhaust will be vented into the atmosphere.Natural gas can be consumed so efficiently that the WATER can be recovered from the combusted exhaust gases, and this clean-distilled water is very usable.What natural gas is not wasted today, will be there to be used another day.
Living in Marcellus Shale country and involved in sustainable development, I'm not sure of the validity of long term low cost of gas. I see it as a loss-leader and it is driving coal out of the power market. Also I am seeing powerful resistance to developing alternative energy.Bill SharpTransition Centre
All: join the fracking conversation at Yale on Tuesday by submitting your questions here in advance (http://environment.yale.edu/news/article/yale-panel-to-debate-hydraulic-fracturing) or at #YaleOnShale during the livetweet.
An insightful article illuminating much under-discussed market risks that will impale the unwary. Shale gas is a very high risk roll of the dice. There are quite a few surprises-in-waiting that will add bounce, boost and breathtaking steepness to the spikes described above. First, in order for hydraulic fracturing of shale gas formations to extort the gas out of rock, you need massive amounts of water. Problematic in a water short future. That means that we can expect the same type of mid-air collision that we saw with ethanol (food vs. fuel and now water vs. fuel). There will be a fistfight between those who demand that water supplies be safeguarded for food production and safe drinking-water purposes vs. those who want to draw off large volumes of water for hydraulic fracturing to produce gas. (A problem that is hardly bothersome to energy efficiency and supply-side clean energy technologies). (If you think with oceans acidifying and droughts increasing that there will be plenty of water, then take a look at http://www.global-warming-forecasts.com/water-supply-shortage-water-scarcity-climate.php ) and overlay those maps with shale gas production maps. Water is a no-nonsense showstopper for fracking Second, as we approach and shoot past the 2015 IPCC greenhouse gas deadline for stabilizing emissions, there will be a regulatory burst of hammer-swinging policies and mandates implemented to flatten GHG emissions levels. That means there will be greater regulation of gas production which is a high stress source of fugitive methane emissions. Methane is carbon dioxide on steroids -- 72 times more potent at trapping heat than CO2 (http://www.global-warming-forecasts.com/underestimates.php ). Not to mention the regulatory reactions triggered by accelerating permafrost methane outgassing and Arctic ice melt headlines. Multiple ricocheting forces will eventually intersect as gas forecasts (shown so clearly in the chart above) collide with the unsettling risks and realities of water scarcity, heat waves, hurricanes and hardline regulation. Investors and policymakers should take a deep breath on this one. Burnet''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Slightly off topic but the real value of gas may be the blow it gives to coal. We may get a ratchet effect. It is expensive to moth ball a coal mine but more expensive to re-open it once it has been shut down. Hopefully, mines that are closed due to competition from gas will end up being too expensive to re-open. The more renewable energy infrastructure we can install in the mean time, the less profitable it will be to re-open coal mines.
http://ronwagnersrants.blogspot.com Natural gas is the future of energy. It is replacing dirty, dangerous, expensive coal and nuclear plants. It is producing the electricity for electric cars. It will directly fuel cars,pickup trucks, vans, buses, long haul trucks, dump trucks, locomotives, aircraft, ships etc. It will keep us out of more useless wars, where we shed our blood and money. It is reducing CO2 emissions. Here are over 1,300 recent links for you:NbaKYme3bqOw0b6KMxXSjOLHLNeflalPy9gIAiTYhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1FMQ/edit

How far down this path will we be in 12 months? Probably not too far. But we are making progress on five fronts:
Mobile Health. This segment of the industry offers the most promise. It's no exaggeration to describe consumers' and physicians' embrace of mobile health apps, smartphones, and tablets as transformational.
Docs are in love with their iPads, and for good reason. When IT teams were asked "Which mobile computing devices are doctors in your organization using for medical purposes" in InformationWeek Healthcare's 2012 Priorities Survey, 66% cited iPads or other tablets, up from 45% just a year earlier. This love affair continues to develop because tablets give them access to EHR data, drug reference materials, and a host of valuable data that in the past was only available in the office or hospital. That kind of access should improve patient outcomes.
Similarly, consumers are loading all sorts of fitness apps on their phones, while patients with chronic diseases are taking advantage of apps and iPhone attachments that let them measure blood pressure, blood glucose, and much more.
[ Are you ready to take on another tough job? Read Health IT's Next Big Challenge: Comparative Effectiveness Research. ]
Roughly half of consumers predict that within the next three years mobile health will improve the convenience (46%), cost (52%), and quality (48%) of their healthcare, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) survey of consumers, payers, and physicians in both developed and emerging markets around the world.
Whether or not this enthusiasm translates into better health and less need for medical services will depend in part on the "stickiness" of these apps. Unfortunately many consumers fall out of love with their mobile health apps after only a few uses.
Personal health records. Speaking of stickiness, PHRs seem to have none. Until recently few consumers have signed on for standalone PHRs, and I've devoted a fair amount of digital ink to reasons why that's the case. But that will likely change in the next year or so--at least for those consumers who have the most skin in the game, namely patients with chronic, life-threatening disorders.
I suspect so-called "interactive PHRs" will catch on in 2013. These digital tools link personal health records to electronic health records.
It seems Microsoft is placing its bets on this PHR/EHR marriage as well. The company has launched a pilot program with Greenway Medical Technologies that will add clinical data from PrimeSuite, Greenway's electronic health record, to Microsoft's HealthVault platform. The joint effort will let patients create a HealthVault account and access their clinical information from PrimeSuite's PrimePatient online portal, including demographics, allergies, medications, vital signs, social and family history, procedures, labs tests, and patient care plans.

Utica's Irish History- Celebrating A Festival Of Nations At Culture Fest
Join us for a trip around the world all in one place right here in Oneida County. Culture Fest- A Festival Of Nations is coming up on April 13th at Utica's beautiful Stanley Theatre. Just ten bucks to sample food, drinks and entertainment from the many cultures here in Central New York. The Celtic Harp will be there, representing Utica's Irish history.
The history of the Irish in Central New York and specifically in the Utica area is quite unique. Most Americans remember the story of the Irish immigrating to America in the wake of the potato famine in the 1840's. However, Utica and the Mohawk Valley saw an earlier wave of Irish settlement which greatly helped our region develop. This early surge was brought about by the construction of the Erie Canal between 1817 and 1825. Thousands of Irish worked on the Canal.
The Canal and later railroad systems were a magnet for immigrants. The subsequent boom in cloth manufacturing drew even more immigrants, and the Irish were well represented in all these industries. The Irish were established in the Utica area a generation before the potato famine. Along with the Irish people came Ireland's main religion, Roman Catholicism. Utica's St. John's Church became the first Roman Catholic parish in New York State west of Albany in 1819. The Devereux family became prominent Uticans of Irish extraction and founded the Savings Bank of Utica.
The prejudice and discrimination famous to the Irish experience in the later 19th and 20th centuries in America was largely absent in our region, thanks to the earlier wave of Irish who helped build the canal, railways, factories, churches and banks that helped Utica rise to greatness. You can always find out more about Utica's heritage by visiting the Oneida County Historical Society on Genesee Street in Utica.

Introduction and Features
SilverStone's new Strider Gold Evolution series power supplies include four models: 750W, 850W, 1000W and 1200W, which are based on the original Strider Gold series. SilverStone engineers have tweaked the design to improve both efficiency and performance and they replaced the original fan with a SilverStone Air Penetrator fan with fluid dynamic bearings to make it even quieter. The Strider Gold ST1000-G Evolution that we have up for review today is rated for 1000W DC output and is 80 Plus Gold certified. It comes with a full compliment of all modular cables, including dual EPS connectors and six PCI-E connectors for multiple high-end graphics adapter support. SilverStone also includes one of their new 140mm magnetic fan filters to help reduce dust buildup inside your PC.
Here is what SilverStone has to say about their new Strider Gold Evolution 1000W power supply:
"To make great power supplies even better, SilverStone engineers delved into the details with the Strider Gold series. In order to reduce the already low noise generated by the Strider Gold, they replaced the fan with SilverStone's own Air Penetrator, which has superb cooling ability and is equipped with fluid dynamic bearings. This allowed for reprogramming of the fan controller to enable lower fan speed at any given loading condition compared to the predecessor. Various components were also re-tested and replaced with newer versions for minor boost in efficiency and performance. An excellent FF141 fan filter with magnets is even included in the package for use to reduce dust buildup.
With the fan and component upgrades, the Strider Gold Evolution series will again encompass wattage range from 750W to 1200W with 80 PLUS Gold level efficiency, ±3% voltage regulation, low ripple & noise, and high amperage single +12V rail as its main features. For discerning users looking to get a top-notch power supply with all features covered and more, this is the perfect solution."
SilverStone ST1000-G Evolution PSU Key Features:
• 1,000W 24-Hour continuous power output (1,100W Peak)
• 80 Plus Gold certification: 87%~90% at 20%~100% loading
• Ultra silent 139mm Air Penetrator fan with fluid dynamic bearings
• SilverStone FF141 magnetic fan filter included
