(CNN) — President Barack Obama supports a proposal to allow Americans to seek legal immigration status for same-sex partners, a plan that could undermine bipartisan support for comprehensive immigration reform.
Obama indicated at a news conference in Costa Rica on Friday that the idea was "the right thing to do," but acknowledged that such a politically charged issue may ultimately not make it into a final immigration package.
"I'm not going to get everything I want in this bill," he said in response to a question about his support for gay rights and its relation to immigration reform, a major priority for Democrats seeking to maintain strong support from Hispanics and Republicans trying to woo them to their side.
A bipartisan group of senators, known as the "Gang of Eight," will formally introduce its proposal to overhaul U.S. immigration policy on Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The measure is the leading effort on the subject in Congress at the moment, and Obama has encouraged Congress to pass comprehensive reform this year.
The proposal calls for a 13-year path to citizenship for those who entered the United States illegally before 2012.
It would take 10 years for such undocumented immigrants to get green cards and then another three years to gain citizenship. Along the way, they would have to pay a fine and back taxes and pass a background check.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont is proposing an amendment that would allow gay Americans to sponsor their partners not born in the United States for green cards.
Currently, such rights apply only to foreign-born men or women in heterosexual marriages with U.S. citizens.
If Leahy moves head, there are fears it could upend efforts for any significant Republican support for the compromise immigration effort.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the Republican architects of the bipartisan immigration package has said adding such a provision would not be politically feasible in the ideologically polarized Congress.
Obama acknowledged that political reality.
"If there are things that end up being left out in this bill, or things that I want to take out of a bill, but if it's meeting those core criteria around a comprehensive immigration bill that I'm looking for, then we go back at it and we fix what's not there and we continually improve what's been presented," he said.
In his weekly address, Obama underscored his criteria for immigration reform. This includes more effective border security; "hold employers accountable if they knowingly hire undocumented workers;" making the legal immigration system work more effectively; and making sure there is a pathway to citizenship for immigrants already in the country.
"I think that this comprehensive immigration bill has the opportunity to do something historic that we have not done in decades," Obama said. "But I don't expect that, after we're finished with it, that people are going to say, there's not a single problem that we have with our immigration system, any more than is true after any piece of legislation that we pass."
Obama said in Mexico earlier on Friday that he intends to work closely with the Mexican government on immigration and was confident a reform effort would pass.
"I'm optimistic that - after years of trying - we are finally going to get it done this year," Obama said in Mexico City.

Lords Online
Lords Online Overview
Lords Online is yet another browser based strategy game from China. What sets it apart is the fact that it blends elements from two popular browser games and presents it in a clean, easy to use interface. The user interface looks very similar to the one found in Evony but the Hero-centered gameplay of Heroes of Gaia is also present. Players will construct buildings, generate resources, and train troops and heroes. Expeditions must be led by heroes which will appear on the world map as they travel. Players will be able to attack one another's cities and heroes to plunder them for wealth. Lords Online is a bit slower paced than previous browser games since the only way to speed up construction is through premium items.

Lords Online Full Review
By, Erhan Altay
We've seen the release of many browser based strategy games over the years. First there were the German ones like Tribal Wars, Travian, and Ikariam. These games consisted mainly of text and images but still caught on across the world. It wasn't until more recently that we in the West got a taste of what IGG, the publishers of Lords Online, is calling 'The 2nd generation of free browser-based strategy games.' So what makes Lords Online different? Mainly the graphics and animations which are bright, vibrant, and easy on the eyes.
Expanding Portfolio
IGG has been bringing free to play Asian MMORPGs to North America for years now, but they've been mainly known for their client games. They've got Tales of Pirates, Godswar Online, and at least 6 other MMORPGs under their belts already, but recently they've made a move into a new market. Browser-based games are catching on fast since they require no download and are generally less complex. Prior to Lords Online, IGG has released Aurora Blade and Freesky Online which is also a strategy game. So why release another? One word. Evony.
Evony Envy
After signing up for a free account and 'activating' Lords Online, players can enter the game right away. There's no need to confirm your email address either. As of this writing, there is are two servers, or 'worlds', but more will be added as the playerbase increases. When logging into a new world for the first time, players are presented with a character creation screen where they may select from three races: Human, Alec (elf-life), or Shaba (orc-like.) Both male and female gender options are available for all three races. Players can also manually select which quadrant their first city will start in, or they can leave it on random. After character creation, players get their first peak at the interface. Those familiar with Evony will immediately notice the similarities. The same beige color and user interface style is used in Lords Online. Overlap in this genre is commonplace so it's let's just move on to see what Lords Online offers.
Strong Foundations
A short tutorial in the form of dialogue boxes from an adviser explains each part of the interface. Fortunately, the layout is well thought out and everything makes senses. Each city has 32 empty building slots on which players can construct buildings. Just going through the newbie quests will provide players with all the direction they need while they get the hang of things. There are four resources to keep track of in Lords Online and they are: Lumber, Stone, Iron, and Food. Gold can also be considered a resource and is acquired by taxation or plundering NPCs and other players. These resources are required to construct buildings, train troops, hire heroes to lead those troops, and to upgrade new technologies. It is highly recommended that players follow the beginner quest line since each step along the way grants resource and even premium item rewards.
A Hyrbid Model
So far, Lords Online sounds like a traditional strategy game, but it does offer a few innovations. Like Evony, players construct most buildings inside their Town but must move to a separate 'City' screen to manage their resource generating buildings. Interestingly, players cannot build farms, sawmills, quarries, or iron mines. Instead, four to six of each building type is already present but set at level 0. Players must then chose which to upgrade and in what order. As resource buildings (and all other buildings including the town hall) increase in level, their resource costs increase as well. Claiming special territorial spots on the world map such as 'Super Hills' or 'Super Iron Pits' can increase resource production but also serve as conflict zones for players. Competition for the most potent of these territories will inevitably lead to region conflicts, which makes strategy games like this all the more interesting. But unlike most games, players in Lords Online will actually get the see their heroes on the world map and command them freely. The fact that NPC monster are also scattered around the map gives Lords Online a hybrid feel, a mix between Heroes of Gaia and Evony.
Big Wallet, Big Empire
Lords Online inevitably falls into the same balance issues as other strategy games. The game makes it readily available that players can spend their way to power. Tired of waiting for buildings to finish construction? Just buy a speed up! Running low on resources or gold? No problem, as long as you're willing to pay. Free to play games must support themselves somehow but browser games put no limit on how much of an advantage players can gain, as long as they keep paying. Of course this doesn't mean players have to pay. A strong alliance of coordinated players can easily trump a single user, no matter his financial situation. And like other strategy games, Alliances play a large role in Lords Online. Teaming up with your neighbors is a must. Not only for protection against raiders further afield, but also to keep neighbors honest.
Why Lords Online?
The graphics and animations in Lords Online are great. The interface is well ordered, the graphics are vibrant and the ability to freely command heroes on the map makes it closer to a RTS than any previous browser based strategy MMO. Even recently released games like Empire Craft already seem outdated when compared to Lords Online. Unfortunately, the game is not newbie-friendly as it could be. While Evony and even IGG's own Freesky Online offered free instant-construction for buildings with construction times less than five minutes, Lords Online makes no such allowance. Even with the newbie packs that players start with and are rewarded with, the game is much slower paced than many of its rivals. This is a problem that could be fixed so let's hope for the best!
Final Verdict: Good
Lords Online is a visually impressive strategy game that's sure to gain a strong following. While it does share similarities with previous browser bases strategy games, the ability to control heroes on the battlefield adds a new depth to gameplay. Slow paced progression and the ability to purchase speed-ups and resources causes balance issues.

Assorted Yoga Mat Sling
Item# 95-1169
A handy mat sling that doubles as a yoga strap
Our Assorted Yoga Mat Sling doubles as a yoga strap! A hands-free way to carry a yoga or other fitness mat featuring velcro closures for quick access. Sold as assorted, so patterns and colors may vary.
Assorted Yoga Mat Sling Features:
- Chic and simple alternative to a mat bag
- Doubles as a yoga strap
- Made exclusively by Gaiam
6"L x 1.5"W
Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sputney Simply Perfect Easy to carry & accommodates extra thick yoga mat, thin blanket, and eye pillow. Even came in purple, with a peace sign design! Got it on sale, so great value too. Only hitch is how to use in wet weather. Maybe a trash bag... August 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by hkcolo Exactly what I was looking for I was looking for a simple sling for my mat that wasn't super expensive. I wasn't looking for a bag, because I have plenty of gym bags and didn't see the need to buy one that would carry my mat. Mine is a pretty light blue that matches my mat (because thats important too :) ). It's great for transporting my mat. Although I have never used it as a yoga strap, its a nice option to have. The only thing I've noticed is that when I enter a yoga studio, where it is nice and quiet so people can prepare for their practice, I feel like the velcro is super loud. Solution: unstrap my mat in the locker room and leave it with my stuff. Voila, problem solved. January 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by OkayF25 Mat strap This strap is great matches my mat that i alreaady have. I no longer need to fold my mat roll it up and place standing up. Now when i attend a hot yoga also, I will feel i fit in also-hehehe. But this product is great. Thanks Gaiam July 3, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MaryBo85 Color Matched My Mat! Gaiam did a great job picking one that matched my purple mat! My only suggestion is to make the velcro straps a little longer. They just barely fit around my 5mm mat. June 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Yogi13 Wouldn't fit thick yoga mat Last month I bought a Gaiam Yoga Mat Sling at Sports Authority which didn't fit my thick mat. So, I ordered one from Gaiam after reading the reviews that it would fit a Thick mat. Well, I received exactly the same sling that I bought from Sports Authority, which didn't fit my mat. Also, the color they selected was very feminine for a person who ordered it, named Clark. I will never order from this company again. September 3, 2013

Answer:My mat was smaller in length and width, but i was still able to wrap it and use it. If you need a strap and it goes nicely with the color scheme then all the better. It does its function properly.

Vagabonding launches
Last updated at 12:51, Monday, 06 June 2011
THE Vagabonds kicked off their 20-day tour of South Cumbria with a show on a sun-drenched Piel Island.

Puppeteers Gary Bridgens and Phill Gregg performed 25 shows across the region throughout their epic 100-mile journey, which culminated at Barrow Park Bandstand on Sunday May 22.
And they launched Vagabonding, part of the Lakes Alive programme, against a backdrop of Piel Castle.
Mr Gregg said: "It's a bit of a relief to get the first show out of the way.
"It was nice to have a small audience to try out the material on, and we both enjoyed ourselves.
"We're used to working in a really small room, so to be outside in the sunshine was a pleasant change. The show has been a few months in the making and when we rehearsed it, it was way too long, so we've had to cut it down a bit.
"The bits we've left out will probably be used on our website, kind of like the bonus material on a DVD."
The project is a modern take on the work of Walter Wilkinson, who famously toured his Peep Show throughout the British Isles and beyond throughout the 1920s and 30s, setting up wherever he could find an audience. He wrote a series of travelogues based on his experiences as he travelled the country on foot with his puppet booth.
"Wilkinson did sketches and we were going to do a book, but we think this way people will be able to find out what we're up to," says Mr Gregg.
"For example, yesterday's blog was about the pigs on Piel that stole Gary's lunch. It's just a little bit about what we experience while we're in our tent and the interesting characters we'll hopefully meet along the way."
The storyline follows the history of their hand-cart, Dolly, and the various owners it has had in the past, including the founder of Piel Castle, Lambert Simnel, a carrier pigeon called Tommy, a crane-driving couple from Barrow, and Doc Lancaster, who was responsible for bringing the Black Death to Cumbria.
Dolly and the duo headed to Bardsea last night where they perform at the Malt Kiln at 6.30pm today, before moving on to Ulverston, Grange, Arnside, Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, Kirkby, Dalton and back to Barrow, stopping off at dozens of villages along the way.
Mr Gregg said: "We drove the route a couple of times beforehand and we have picked some really beautiful locations.
"I'm not looking forward to the inevitable rain and sleet that will come our way, but weather aside, it should be a great journey.
"As we move from place to place we'll hopefully hear some stories, and we might change the show a little bit."

How did this one miss the first time, It's great.

Looking at all of these entries, I'm beginning to realize that shirt.woot! just isn't the place for me anymore. It used to be filled with a wide-range of designs and I was almost always guaranteed to find one I liked.
But these days it seems like it's nothing but obvious jokes, cartoon or cutesy animals, or something equally immature. I've bought over 15 shirts over the last few years, but I haven't bought a single derby shirt in the last 6 months...
Sorry for the vent, but what it boils down to is that I like your design and wish woot would carry more like it. ;)
totally agree, best shirt I've seen in a long time

Ugh, yeah, I wrote to woot before and opted out, a week or two before this derby started. They must not have gotten it or something.

Robert Plant Hints At 2014 Led Zeppelin Reunion
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Robert Plant hinted that 2014 might see another revival of Led Zeppelin. During his recent appearance on Australia's 60 Minutes, he planted the seed for future band activities -- while pointing the finger at Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones for holding up ongoing Zep plans. Plant defended himself against fans believing that he's the sole holdout for new Zeppelin music and road dates, saying, "Y'know, the two other guys are Capricorns and they keep schtum. They don't say a word. But they are quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me. . . and I'm not the bad guy."
When reminded that the fans long believed him to be the "bad guy," Plant said, "Well then, you need to see the Capricorns -- 'cause, I've got nothing to do in 2014."
Last October at the New York City press conference following the press preview of Zeppelin's new concert film, Celebration Day, Plant played it coy -- and then downright rude -- to reporters clamoring for some type of statement about future Zeppelin plans. After some coaxing by the event's moderator, Plant finally answered the reunion question with a bit of respect for the reporters in the room: "We were so happy that we were actually gettin' it right (coughs) and taking it beyond what we thought we were about that night. There were moments in it where we just took off and pushed off in some place. The responsibility of doing that four nights a week for the rest of time is a different thing. 'Cause, we're pretty good at what we do; the tail should never wag the dog. If we're capable of doing something in our own time that will be what will happen. So any inane questions who are from syndicated outlets (laughter), you should just really think what it takes to answer a question like that in one second, y'know? We know what we've got."

Father fights alongside daughter against deadly disease
Sunday, December 16, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — How do you tell your daughter that she is dying?
The doctor did not prescribe any medication and told Al that Chelsea was experiencing a form of tics.
"For Chelsea, (the medications) did not work. She was good for a week or a week and a half then she stopped responding and started going backward again," Al said.
Chelsea stopped breathing during her third seizure.
"But Wednesday afternoon, the day before Thanksgiving, at 4:10 on the nose, she had four generalized seizures in 15 minutes," Al said, adding that she had three additional seizures in a local emergency room before being transported to Maine Medical Center.
"It is just so sad," Kristy Bates, a family friend said. "One day she is a teenager, worried about boys and texting, and the biggest thing you worry about is a biology test, and now it is like, not knowing if you will ever go home."
Al said he thought she would make a great veterinarian and had an interest in helping service dogs.
"How can you tell your little girl she is going to die? That there is no cure for this? That Daddy can't fix this? I don't have the heart to tell her something like that," he said, adding that a reverend came to speak to them and Chelsea never asked about herself, just asked to make sure her "Daddy" would be prayed for.
Linda Gerber started a Lafora Children Research Fund, after her daughter, also named Chelsea, who lives on the west coast, was diagnosed. Al said Gerber's daughter is 22 years old and is nearing the end of her fight.
"I hope that people take a minute, if they have kids, to grab them and not let go. Tell them how much you love them. If you have a parent, grab them," he said. "That is what it is all about when it boils down to it … It's not about money, or being sick, or needing treatment. It is about love."

The Association Awards Program includes recognition of both individual and institutional achievement across the UPCEA membership.
At the 1953 Annual Conference of the National University Extension Association (NUEA), which was the forerunner of UPCEA, Robert Browne of the University of Illinois gave a speech honoring Tom Shelby, retiring Dean of the Division of Extension at the University of Texas. Browne conferred on Shelby the FX Key in honor of service to extension. Engraved on the key was "Fellow of Extension," the year, and the Association's initials. This was the first recognition award given by the Association.
Since 1953, the Association's Awards Program as grown to include Association-wide, Regional, and Network awards. Through these awards, UPCEA recognizes its members' outstanding contributions to the Association and the field, as well as their achievements in innovative programming, marketing and promotion, community development and services, research and publications, and many other areas.

Midwest Living Review
Picture this: A giant buffalo statue next to Interstate-94. After driving past it thousands of times in your travels through North Dakota, you finally stop and notice the old replica fort sitting nearby. The lower level is a souvenir shop, the upper level a bar and grill. Walk up the narrow wooden staircase and you find yourself in the Frontier Fort Bar and Grill with wood floors, wood walls, wood tables, a wood ceiling, and decor consisting of old beer logo lamps and plenty of taxidermy. This smoke-free, family-friendly bar has a rustic sort of charm, but the food unfortunately lacks in taste and appeal. The bison, elk or beef burgers are only $3.95 ($5.95 with fries), and the portion is decent at a quarter-pound of meat, but you get what you pay for. Although bison is leaner than beef, the meat in this burger was overly dry, thin and uninteresting. Ample ketchup and mustard help, but only so much. The fries are standard fast-food fare. On the plus side, the beer is cold and the staff is friendly. We wouldn't mind stopping here again for a cold beer; the humble, rustic atmosphere is nice. We just wish the food were more appealing.

Carroll Township man accused of killing wife will stand trial
Woman was shot in the head while she slept at couple's house on Walters Street
The Carroll Township man accused of shooting and killing his wife as she slept was ordered to stand trial during a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning.
The shooting happened in March.
State police said Ronald Powell, 71, is facing a homicide charge for the death of his wife Leslie, 62, in the house on Walters Street.
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco said Ronald Powell called 911 to report the shooting.
The coroner said Leslie Powell had been shot in the head while laying in her bed.
Neighbors said they did not hear the gunshot, or see any signs of trouble with the couple. They did say Ronald Powell has had problems with mental health in recent years.
"If he was that messed up, why didn't he shoot himself instead of taking her?" neighbor Tammy Reese said. "She took care of him. He didn't do anything. She did everything. Went to the store, did the bills, went to work."
Powell remains in the Washington County Jail, as his bail was denied.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Some of our most important lessons are learned over cups of coffee at the kitchen table rather than in boardrooms or even classrooms.
Let me explain. One of my colleagues stopped by several nights ago to tell us about running his first marathon. He'd trained diligently and felt psychologically and physically ready to run 26.2 miles. At the halfway mark, he said he felt strong. But he was exhausted as he approached mile 25, at which point he was passed by a 75-year-old gentleman. My colleague's spirit was broken. He walked the last mile and it took him 15 minutes to cover the distance.
So what's the lesson for us? We can't let setbacks jeopardize our focus — because when we're distracted we lose the energy to achieve our goals.
Of course, this applies to running but also to the marathon called life. Are there other lessons that we can learn from my colleague's experience?

Some lessons from this story: keep your eyes on the goal not looking left or right; don't compare yourself to others (some are faster, some are slower); the race isn't over until you are; if you want wise advice--talk to the 75 year old who crossed the line before you; use that advice in your next race.
This lession on the marathon called life reminded me of my mother's plight. I recall her saying later, after being diagnosed with a cancer on a part of her body she hadn't even heard of (Ampulla of Vater)--that her life of "clean living" i.e. no drinking, smoking, or other vices--all that prep hadn't helped in the long run. She spent her remaining time focusing elsewhere, on the sport of Nascar! Perhaps in hindsight she wished she had lived in the fast lane. This adaptability helped her with this unexpected, unfair terminal setback in her life. Unfortunately her hero literally hit the wall, but she adapted again by following tennis afterword.
Sometimes we lose focus of our progress because we compare outselves (or pace) to others. I am one who writes down my goals, everyday I glance at my index card and it keeps me motivated toward my task.
Life isn't fair!

Every November, the Omaha Playhouse performs A Christmas Carol to sellout crowds. But what the audience doesn't see are the awkward, funny, strange and inspiring moments that happen long before the curtain opens. In Casting Call to Curtain Call, a one-hour documentary, we follow the process of bringing the play from the page to the stage from the initial auditions to the final curtain call.

fglrx works well enough for a lot of people.
And if it doesn't - you can always use the open source drivers.
Compare that with nvidia. If you have a problem with nvidia's driver, you are screwed. And looking at nvnews - there are many people who are.
When there's no option you use what's available.
But when there's better alternatives that offer a better experience then it's only right to make people aware of it.
If ATI cards were the only ones available then people would have to be satisfied with them and their drivers or switch to Windows where ATI's drivers are better.
For those situations where ATI is better by all means push them but the for the use cases that Michael was saying nVidia was a better option I can't see anything wrong with what he said.
They weren't when I got my 5870 and even withthe improvements in them they still don't conver anything.
You can actually be left in a situation where the open drivers don't cover you for what you;re doing and fglrx is buggy where you need it to not be. Then you've got a card that can't be relied on. Not very good really.
For those who wish to paint the availability of official open drivers for ATI cards as some kind of realistic escape route for the brokeness of fglrx then that only holds true for some situations. It depends on your card and software you need to be running. The open drivers aren;t workable for every situation, so what does one do if this is the case for them?
I wish fglrx was bullet proof as it'd make me and my 5870 a lot happier. I can see improvements in it over time and can see a day coming where it'll be every bit as good as nVidia's blob.
Until it is though it's unfair to prospective card purchases to sell them on a card that mightn't be the best choice for their situation.
Whether you or I or the man in the moon likes it or not, sometimes nVidia is the best choice, no matter how open source friendly ATI are.
Also, it's not uncommon in a review to have the reviewer suggest alternatives. I don't feel they are "personal" opinions in the sense of him being blindly defending a brand against another as some users reported. Maybe comparing the HD5450 to the more expensive GT220 is not very accurate, but the point is that for a little more you can get a better card. I also don't think it's up to the reader to decide on what is best based only on pure data analysis. We have people reviewing stuff so that we can know what a real person thinks about the reviewed thing, and we can still draw our own conclusion based on that.
I played too railrod tycoon 3 and torchligh with this crap of card and OSS drivers.
now is in place.

So it's been quite a while since I wrote anything. This blog, well the whole idea came about because of my failure to write in the first place.
When I was waiting for #4 to arrive, I realized that I hadn't written anything down in #3's "baby book". In fact, it had been about 4 years since I'd put anything into #2's either. We knew that #4 would be our last; unless we came upon a dumpster baby or found one on our doorstep- in that case we'd be "finders-keepers". We actually talked about it in the same way that other people talk about winning the lottery. But I digress….
So anyway, I bought this really lovely book. I thought that I'd use it to keep track of all the amazing and (HA!) "unforgetable" stories about the kids. What you said/ate/did first. You know- the stuff we really make up years later when you can't remember any of it? Yeah, that.
So I wrote in it at first. A few pages, actually. Then I put it away someplace safe. A few months later, I stumbled upon again and added a few more pages. It went on that way, but even when I knew where it was I procrastinated. I'd do that after I did "this". Finally, when #4 was 11 years old I picked it up to realize that in almost 12 years I'd only written 15 pages. Really sad! I read those pages are was remided of things I had totally forgotten.
It makes me realize that I have no memory of many other things that I probably forgot to write. This stuff won't matter to anyone but them, but when my parents both died I felt sad about the loss of those stories. It's so important to have people who know the story of your life. I wanted my kids to have those stories. Doing it online seemed like the perfect answer. I'm always online anyway- it allows me to procrastinate when I should be doing housework. Or finishing all those projects.
Then there is "the cookbook". Syd (#2), doesn't cook at all. She has laid claim to my old, tattered and stained copy of Jim Fober's baking book, as well as all those recipes I've written on the inside cover, blank pages and finally jammed on sticky notes all over the place. I thought that if I put some of their favorite recipes they would all have them forever and ever.
And surely, since I was doing it online, I would never put it off. Why procrastinate when it's what you do to avoid doing what you should be doing?
Well, why indeed? Why put off doing something you actually like? Because procrastination is just my thing. I put off getting up in the morning. I put off chores and hobbies. I put off going to the bathroom until the commercial~ even though I could just pause the program because it's taped! And you know I put off going to sleep. Somehow the days just go by, and before you know it a whole month has gone by.
Well, I'm back. And I'll surely procrastinate again. But first I'll stop by tomorrow and write about Christmas. And perhaps a bit about snowmen. Unless I put it off. :-)

--Miguel Porrúa, Organization of American States, at the PAHO/WHO e-Health Seminar
Washington, D.C., January 16, 2013 (PAHO/WHO) – Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are tools for transforming public administration, stated Miguel Porrúa, Senior e-Government Specialist at the Organization of American States (OAS), during the virtual seminar "eGovernment and its importance for eHealth," held by PAHO/WHO on 16 January 2013.
Launching the event, the manager of Knowledge Management and Communications at PAHO/WHO, Marcelo D'Agostino welcomed the 80 participants connected from more than 20 countries and thanked Porrúa for his contributions to both the seminar and the development of the PAHO/WHO Strategy and Plan of Action on eHealth for the Americas.
"This is the second in a series of seminars that brings together major leaders from around the world who can guide the ministries to ensure transparency and align eGovernment and eHealth initiatives," stated D'Agostino.
Porrúa thanked PAHO/WHO for the invitation and for including the OAS in this activity. "My role is to link eGovernment with the work being done at PAHO and with people working in health in the Region to encourage reflection and inspire thought and action for the good of the Region," he explained to the participants.
According to the OAS, eGovernment is the application of ICTs to operations in the public sector to boost efficiency, transparency, and citizen participation. Both e Government and e-Health facilitate access to services by using ICTs to accelerate national development.
"When properly used, ICTs have proven to be the best catalyst for efficiency in the public sector," commented Porrúa.
During his presentation, he described the relationship between eGovernment and eHealth and stressed that political support and investing in human and financial resources are key to progress in both areas. He recommended documenting best practices in the Americas and developing policies that create an enabling environment for innovation.
The eGovernment specialist provided examples from the Region of the Americas, where progress in e-Government has translated into progress in eHealth. He cited Chile--where legislation has been enacted on the protection of personal information, digital signature, electronic documents, and open-source data--and Colombia, where a digital literacy program to train civil servants has been placed on the nation's digital agenda.
In their closing remarks, D'Agostino and Porrúa agreed that civil society is the protagonist. Citizens must take the lead to advance the use of technologies in public health and public administration in general. "Enterprising citizens are the ones who know how to turn a need into a service," said Porrúa.
The Virtual Seminar Series on eHealth in the Americas is part of Strategic Area 4 of the Strategy and Plan of Action on eHealth for the Americas, which identifies knowledge management, digital literacy, and training in ICTs as key elements for ensuring quality care, health promotion, and disease prevention activities, guaranteeing training and better access to information in an equitable manner. The Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation supports implementation of the eHealth Strategy.

Thai-style Steamed Clams
A few weeks ago, when my friend Eat A Duck I Must came to shoot my cookbook promo video for me, I made her a killer pot of Penang Assam laksa. After she left, all the remaining spices had been sitting in my fridge in a dark corner—lemongrass, bird's eye chilies, galangal, and lime juice. Last week, my market was having a sale of Manila clams and I thought about a great recipe that would make use of the spices. I made this yummy Thai-style steamed clams…
This steamed clams dish is everything Thai food is all about: hot, sour, aromatic, and addictive. Other than the spices, the secret ingredient is coconut water. You can get canned coconut water at Asian stores, however, water is fine as the clams are naturally briny and flavorful. I must say that the coconut water does add a subtle sweetness to the overall dish, and pairs perfectly with the exotic aromas of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves.
Try this Thai steamed clams recipe the next time you have some Thai ingredients at hand. I am certain you will enjoy the great taste.

How absolutely beautiful! The pics seem to be getting better and better.
Gorgeous way to make clams. I'll have to give these a go.
I am doing this recipe tonight. Already called to ensure some clams are set aside. =)
Whoa!! Indeed it's a beautiful shot! I'm really tempted to try this soon!
The clames look wonderful.
Steamed clams with Thai flavours sound so tempting – a great idea to finish up spices :)
i cannot lie, that assam laksa was so good, i closed my eyes and was transported back to that hot and sticky afternoon at the foot of kek lok si… it could also be that it was so spicy it made me delirious. either way it was awesome and now i want these clams too!
How did the clams turned out Garrett?
Oh great! a seafood delight. I love those clams.
The clams are really looks fantastics….This is my second time to your sire,and I really enjoy your recipe…I have tried your laksa..taste very authentic..thanks.
6 oz. or clams won't fill me!
Hi, nice one. But which spicy rating would you give for it? The thing is that I cannot eat spicy food :-( I would like to eat all the dishes showed here http://www.exotissimo.com/news/infographic/thai-food-roadmap.jpg, but for sure I would have my tongue burned :-)
That looks so good! I will kill to make it more spicy… Anyways, do you know how to clean the clams well? tips? I rinse and scrub them, but it doesn't ever seem clean enough. :(
This recipe reminds me of the thai mussels i have had at my favorite thai joint. I also think they may add another ingredient that i think i taste, maybe tamarind? do you think tamarind would go well with this? and what is galangal? I love your site. everything always looks so delicious. I am from trinidad but we love asian cuisine.
yummie delicuous^^ looks very spicy …
i also use mussels and they are delicious cooked this way
