The Women in the Arts and Media Coalition is a centralized resource for professional women in the performing arts and media industries. Members of the Writers Guild of America, East are, by extension, members of WAM.
WAM provides:
- Access to New York's Creative Community
WAM, through its member organizations, represents more than 80,000 women and men in the performing arts and media. Members work in all areas of theatre, film and television; in marketing and public relations; and in print media. They include some of the country's most respected professionals.
- Networking
WAM's combined membership is probably larger and more diverse than that of any other alliance in New York: labor and management, producers and performers, writers and publishers -- all participate in coalition programs and events. As a resource for professional development and social exchange, WAM is without equal.
- Information Sharing
WAM-sponsored panel discussions, seminars and workshops have provided unique forums for the presentation of issues and ideas relating to the performing arts and media. Through programs like these, members keep abreast of trends and developments in their industries, as well as in allied areas. This opportunity for "cross-pollination" is often cited as one of the most valuable aspects of participation. Now that our member organizations are doing more such cross-organization events, we are focusing more on co-producing such events with them. We are also focusing on more information sharing through our website and online media.
- Mentoring
WAM provides a link for arts and media professionals to their colleagues across the United States and abroad, including those in colleges and universities. Through outreach to women entering the communications job market and through peer networking, the coalition serves both its constituency and the arts and media community. Our website is a critical resource for outreach, networking, and awareness.

Hi All,
I love my 6'2" Hellfire for its speed, paddling and ability to handle larger surf. Turning radius and release out of turns, not so much. Currently using UL-7s as a thruster; the drive and hold are great, but my turns are suffering. I am about 195lbs (85kg), so that puts me in the Large fin range. I surf mainly beach and reef breaks in San Diego.
Anyone have any suggestions for fins for better turns?
(part of the problem may be that I also ride a 5'10" Dominator which I absolutely love and flies all over the place!)

Great location, juat a few minutes away from the old center, Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Perfect for budget travelers that just need a clean and relatively quiet place to sleep. Besides this, you shouldn't expect too much, considering the price paid... rooms are very small, bathroom a bit problematic and the internet connection functions very bad.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last January, Dell unveiled this sleek, sexy, ultrathin notebook called Adamo which had techies speculating furiously. Is this going to be a Macbook Air nemesis? Will this be the notebook that will give Apple a run for its money?
Sadly, answers could not immediately be found, because Dell revealed no specs nor internal features (booting wasn't even allowed, reportedly). The sleek, black Adamo was literally just displayed for all to see and nothing else. On the outside, the machine sports a 13″ display covered edge-to-edge in glass, three USB ports, an eSATA jack, a backlit keyboard. It also is 0.65″ thick.

We're thrilled to announce that REO Speedwagon, STYX and Ted Nugent will join forces once again to storm the country with another round of shows on the Midwest Rock 'N Roll Express 2013 tour! The spring tour will kick off on April 18 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in in Grand Forks, ND, and conclude on May 19 at the First Niagara Pavilion in Burgettstown, PA.
Check out the TedNugent.com Events calendar for a list of dates on the Midwest Rock 'N Roll Express 2013 tour – with more to come! The Motor City Madman hits the stage at 7 pm each night unless otherwise noted.
To say that everyone on the tour is excited to get back out there would be an understatement. Here it is, in their own words:
"When you live the ultimate American guitar player's dream, with the ultimate grinding band, performing the most intense fun songs in the world to the most enthusiastic audiences alive, every tour and every concert is an indescribable celebration. STYX and REO deserve me. Here we come again baby, like dogs in heat!" — Ted Nugent
"Blazing vocal melodies and guitars, soaring arrangements steeped in Progressive Rock roots, heart touching ballads you know in your bones, and that's just my Damn Yankees brother Ted Nugent I'm talking about! Wait until STYX and REO take the stage! You might need to take the next day off after riding this glorious train!" — Tommy Shaw, STYX
"Due to the overwhelming success of last year's tour, we are going to once again wind up the juggernaut of megatainment. STYX, REO and The Motor City Madman: there aren't enough expletives in my vocabulary to explain how great this is... but I'll try. This is going to be *$@&#@*&@# awesome!" — James "JY" Young, STYX
"Yo, wake up everybody! Winter is over, the snow is melting, the sun is coming out — It's time for the second annual REO, STYX, Nugent springtime extravaganza. We had so much fun in 2012 we all decided to fire this Midwest Rock 'N Roll Express thing up and do it again. Time to strap on our six strings, pack up the trucks and tour buses, get together with our best rock buddies and go out to have some big fun. See y'all soon." — Kevin Cronin, REO Speedwagon
The Midwest Rock 'N Roll Express tour racked in rave reviews during its debut run, including:
"Tuesday's lineup of Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon and STYX brought album-oriented rock to a rabid, near sold-out audience that ate up every lick, groove and wail like it was manna from heaven." — Candace Horgan, Denver Post
"The Midwest Rock 'N Roll Express tour proved to be aptly named and by the time the last guitar pick had been thrown and the final encore had faded away, it's likely that more than a few in the audience were pulling out their smartphones to look for their chance to stow away as passengers to catch the next stop." — Matt Wardlaw, UltimateClassicRock.com
"One would be hard pressed to find a tour line-up that can boast more combined top 40 hits and platinum recordings than that of Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon and STYX... on this night, (the fans are) going to get their money's worth." — Craig Ross, GuitarInternational.com
Get a You Can't Do This In France t-shirt for less.

What do you do with a gingerbread house that you've made? Are they for display only or do you eat them? I've never made one and I'm curious. Thanks | |||
I made this candy house many years ago. I did intend to keep it (the candy was stuck into styrofoam) and put it on a closet shelf. Alas in the summer heat the candy melted and onto my fur coat! Decided then not to try to keep any in future but have not made anymore either. Oh, in those days I always put candy on my tree. also cookies. the house was for display only.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lady of shallot, | ||||
Years ago I tried to make a gingerbread house with the kids from scratch. The gingerbread baked unevenly and I had a mess. I know several other bakers who have had the same experience, I think that the baking soda in the recipe has to be carefully controlled--I don't have the time to mess with it any more. The local botanical garden has a contest with lots of different catagories. Architects and lots of professionals enter--the winner is usually a dentist who makes the most amazing creations from scratch. I can't imagine keeping one since I think that they would attract bugs. | ||||
I thought about letting my boys (3yrs & 4yrs) make them out of graham crackers. I saw the how to on Pinterest. I've always seen them growing up (never made them) and I was just curious as to why people made them (eating? decor?) | ||||
I have seen kids use graham crackers and that looks like a fun project. I know that some people like to make gingerbread houses as a family project. My DH has always watched too much football and hates details so that would have never worked for us. After my original disaster, I went out and bought lots of candies and we made a candy house--a lot easier and the kids participated. There are some already baked kits out there which might work with kids too. You just assemble the already baked pieces. I've seen them at cooking stores as well as places like T J Maxx. | ||||
When my kids were small I made several houses. Even made a gingerbread carousel one year complete with horses and DH put it on a turn-table. But somewhere I read that the tradition is to make it for Christmas and eat it on New Years Day. | ||||
I made a large one several years ago for a special event. DH made a cardboard house & I hot glued the graham crackers & candy onto it. I trimmed it with piped frosting. And then pitched it when the event was over. | ||||
Graham crackers work well. We made these several years while my DS was young. | ||||
I've made a couple of "real" gingerbread houses with my children when they lived at home - and my daughter made one on her own when she was teaching school. We tried to preserve them - wrapped in a plastic bag - but the mice finally got to them - but my daughter's house did last for several years. We use them for holiday decor - since we are very big on baking and decorating all kinds of gingerbread - very traditional for Christmas. It's also a German tradition - decorated gingerbread cookies are sold all over Europe during the Christmas season. I used to make gingerbread people to decorate the Christmas tree. We still decorate big gingerbread cookies, place them in cellophane bags, tie with beautiful ribbons, and gift them to friends and family. I still make gingerbread cookies every Christmas - one of my favorite cookies. Seaborne | ||||
I haven't made a gingerbread house for a while, but I did make them with my kids when they were young. I would bake the parts and do the assembly, and the kids would do the decorating and put on all the candy. On New Years day I always let the kids eat the house. Mostly they ate the candy, as the house part was kind of dry by then, but they loved the "demolition" as much as the building. | ||||

If you go for a NF tadpole, the Marmot Grid is a similar shape but pitch outer first.
Steve D
Include a little history in your walks. Pecsaetan - Ancient Derbyshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire - http://pecsaetan.weebly.com/
I'm looking for a two man, geodesic tent, suitable for backpacking.
I would concentrate on function over form. That might end up as geodesic, but then again might not. What functionality are you after that implies geodesic ought to be the way forwards?
- Ditching the semi-geodesic requirement and getting a nice tunnel.
Or single hoop, or whatever. Personally I regard stuff like headroom, number of doors, size of porches, ease and order of pitch etc. as more significant than the pole layout. Crawling around in a few examples is a very good idea to get the idea of how a particular model works for you.
Thanks for all those ideas!
What functionality are you after that implies geodesic ought to be the way forwards?
I like the extra room you get with a geodesic and I think they are probably a bit more 'liveable'. The people I've spoken to also say they cope much better in the wind as they have the same shape facing the wind no matter what direction you face it, but with tunnel tents you have to pitch facing the right way to the wind otherwise you can get buffetting.
At the minute, I'm using a Vango Tempest 200 which is very good, but can be cramped (probably more because if my lack of organisation!) I could see it getting pretty cosy as well if I actually had someone else in as well.
I like the extra room you get with a geodesic
There's a better weight/space ratio in a tunnel, thobut, all else being equal. If you have the same amount of money to throw at a tent (i.e., same quality of materials and facility for technical weight savings) then at a given weight a geo will usually be smaller because of more poles plus associated stuff to hold them.
The people I've spoken to also say they cope much better in the wind as they have the same shape facing the wind no matter what direction you face it
The omni-directionality limits you to domes (which aren't especially noted for their wind performance, you can think of them as equally bad from all directions as much as equally good) or pyramids/tipis, most geodesics are oriented along an axis, just like a tunnel tent or a single hoop, and also like those they tend to do better with some relative wind directions than others.
but with tunnel tents you have to pitch facing the right way to the wind otherwise you can get buffetting.
For some values of "have to" and also some values of "wind". Often tents are pitched according to the vagaries of the ground, and/or the wind changes during the night, but despite this some of the world's go-to toughest tents are tunnels. And geos can be buffeted as well, but buffeting is not the same as "falling over". I would say an advantge of a geo is it's quieter in a blow because there's more supported fabric, but there again ear-plugs are pennies and you get more space in return.
There's nothing intrinsic to "geodesic" that will solve that. You need a bigger tent, of whatever pole configuration. Perhaps consider an extended porch or twin porches if you want more effective living space, and some brands have rather different concepts of how much room someone takes up than others. It's the case with some that the 3 person tents are just about right for 2...
We have a geodesic, a tunnel and a small selection of single hoops. The only time we take the geo is when it's travelling by boat, where the extra weight and bulk for the same space doesn't matter.

Starting next month, the cost of installing water service in Leitchfield will increase roughly 30 percent.
During its Thursday, Dec. 20, meeting, the city's Utilities Commission approved increasing the cost of setting water meters.
The current charges are based on the size of the service line, with a 5/8-inch diameter service costing $400, a 1-inch $1,200 and a 2-inch $2,750. Those prices have been in place since at least January 2010.
The charge for a 5/8-inch line will increase about 31 percent, to $525, while the charge for a 2-inch line will jump about 27 percent, to $3,500. The cost of a 1-inch line will remain the same.
The increase is needed in part, utilities superintendent Kevin Pharis said, because of mandated changes in the way the brass used in the meters is made. The brass can no longer contain lead, which has increased the cost to make it.
He said the city normally installs 12 to 20 of the 5/8-inch services per year, and about 10 of the 2-inch ones.
The commission also:
* Accepted an $18,015 bid from Renegade Marine for a 20-foot pontoon boat with a 50 horsepower engine. The boat is needed to reach the city's new water intake on Rough River Lake — about 75 yards from shore — for regular monthly and annual maintenance.
Pharis has said the city will need something capable of carrying two to four people, tools and other gear to the site, which is about 4.5 miles from Rough River Dam State Park. Currently the utilities department only has a jon boat — powered by rowing — to reach it.
* Heard a request from Tim Higdon for utilities service to an area behind the McDonald's restaurant on South Main where he wants to erect a pre-engineered steel building for a strip development.
He said the building would be used for retail spaces, such as a sports bar or a check cashing business, and asked about the possibilities of having water, sewer, natural gas and fire protection.
Pharis said getting water service to the area would likely involve looping some lines, and that the sewer line in the area probably needs to be raised.
The commission said they would continue discussing the development with Higdon, who did not specify a timeline for the building being erected.
* Heard the 2012 audit of the utilities system. Total assets were $28.1 million, and total liabilities were $9.9 million, with net assets at $18.1 million.

Michael Rosso ♦ Lets all do our part and start brewing more coffee
MannyGate7 Very informative thank you!
Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.
Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.
paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!
As you're enjoying the last rays of summer, consider that in a few years you could be lathering on the coffee to prevent skin cancer. Findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science suggests that chemicals commonly found in coffee have the ability to absorb UV radiation when applied directly to the skin. Researchers at Rutgers University genetically engineered mice to suppress the same enzyme that caffeine does in humans and have found that they were slower to develop skin cancer. Because of its ability to suppress ATR, the enzyme responsible for turning damaged skin cells cancerous, scientists have suggested that caffeine could be added to sunscreens to boost protection levels.
In a strange twist, caffeine molecules may also help you develop a nice tan in addition to protecting your skin from tumors and cancer. Caffeine has actually been shown to stimulate pigment cells, urging them to produce more color. So, a safer tan may not be too far on the horizon.
If you're tired of the same old drinks, break out of the rut with a creative latte. This month's recipe is perfect for the adventurous latte lovers out there.
- 3 shots of espresso
- 6 oz of milk
- ½ oz of Monin Dark Chocolate Syrup
- ½ oz of Monin Caramel Syrup
- ¼ oz of Monin Hazelnut Syrup
- Ice
In a tall 16oz glass, combine the espresso, syrup and milk. Stir the contents and add ice. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!
With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, may the luck...and drinks, of the Irish be with you. Given the upcoming festivities, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the history of one of the most (in)famous, drinks in the world—the Irish Coffee.
In true Celtic fashion, think Leprechauns and pots of gold, the origins of the Irish Coffee begins with a local folklore...Legend has it that the drink was invented in a cafe at the now-defunct Foynes Airport. In 1943, on a particularly nasty winter evening, a flight bound for Botwood, Newfoundland made the critical decision to return to Foynes after several hours in the air. Consider that 1943 was during WWII and commercial air travel was really in its infancy—think well-heeled men and women on a flying-boat voyage. The circumstances of the diverted flight were trying at best and left passengers a little bit more than peeved.
Upon making the decision to head back to Foynes, the captain reportedly sent a Morse-code message to the control tower, alerting ground operations personnel of the impending return. At the terminal, preparations were made to welcome back the crew and passengers. I know, you're skeptical already; but keep in mind, this was the 1940s...flying was a glitzy affair.
Back to the regularly scheduled story...Head chef Joe Sheridan of the airport restaurant was hastily asked to make something to warm the passengers and lift their spirits. He decided to...well...add a little spirit to their drinks. After all what could keep you warmer and happier than a hot coffee and some good old Irish whiskey? As the night progressed and everybody had been served, one of the passengers approached Sheridan to thank him for the hospitality. Making small talk, the passenger asked if Brazilian coffee had been used to prepare the drink...To which Sheridan responded "No, that was Irish Coffee." The rest is history.
From that night forward, Irish Coffee was served to all passengers going through Foynes Airport. The tradition continues to this day; dignitaries arriving at Shannon Airport are still welcomed with a warm cup of Irish Coffee. Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style? Try this authentic Irish Coffee Recipe:
Joe Sheridan's Original Irish Coffee
Preheat an Irish Coffee Mug using hot water. Try our Stout, Classic or Pedestal version of the mug. Pour freshly brewed coffee into the mug; add sugar and whiskey. Top with cream.
Jesse Nice Another version... ^_^
Cream as rich as an Irish brogue
Coffee as strong as a friendly hand
Sugar as sweet as the tongue of a rogue
Whiskey as smooth as the wit of the land
BIll Price Love your website, and that's a nice story about Irish coffee, but... the recipe leaves a lot to be desired.
3ml is about a half tsp whiskey. Perhaps you meant 30ml (1 oz.) or 3 Tbs (1 jigger). Similarly, 2 tsp of whipped cream is an almost invisible amount. More like 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons).
My favorite addition to Irish coffe is to wet the rim with whiskey, and frost it with raw sugar after the glass is warmed. Flaming the glass w 2 tsp whiskey helps seal it to the rim.
Angelo Palmieri I love Irish coffee in winter when I need something warm and sweet to help me make the day. I like your recipe, Bill, and one of this day I will try it. Thanks, AP
Although we have been carrying Café La Semeuse for years now and many of our customers are in the know about this little hidden jewel of a coffee, I don't believe we have ever formally introduced Café La Semeuse as a company. Featured in the New York Times three times and a two time winner of the Fancy Food Show, Café La Semeuse takes pride in the fact that its coffee has an exceptionally full flavor, yet never bitter taste.
Roasted in Switzerland, the key ingredient to the "never bitter" taste of Café La Semeuse coffee is its high altitude roasting. By roasting at an altitude of 3300 ft, the reduced air pressure enables a full roast using less heat. This is how a full flavor can be achieved without burning the beans. Basically, the same principle that explains why water boils at a lower temperature in higher elevations applies to how Café La Semeuse is roasted. This coffee has been roasted the same way for more than a century, by three generations of the Bloch family.
In tasting the whole bean espresso blend recently, I can attest to the "never bitter" statement expressed by the company and will add that there is a nice, slightly sweet undertone to this blend. It is also amazing how dark of a roast this is without a burnt taste. In later blogs, I'll post some of the other taste characteristics of Café La Semeuse's unique roasts, specifically their decaf and fair-trade organic Soleil Levant coffees. Stayed tuned for our tour of Café La Semeuse!

I'm not a big coffee drinker and i normally drink decaf. I bought this in whole bean and self-grind it. This coffee is not bitter and very smooth. This comes in regular and not decaf and was pleasantly surprised this coffee didn't give me the jitters. I will be buying more.

Traffic has tripled along the 233-mile-long Maine Northern Railway line that runs between just outside Millinocket to Madawaska, facilitated by track repairs funded by a $10.5 million federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant and private investment by New Brunswick-based J.D. Irving Ltd., which owns the rail line.
The rail line's traffic could increase even more as a result of increasing production at Great Northern paper company in Millinocket, according to Maine Public Broadcasting Network. The paper mill recently reported plans to hire at least 40 new workers to catch up on a 35-day backlog of orders.
Two years ago a $20 million state bond was used to purchase that rail line – then owned by Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway – and keep it from being abandoned, to save up to 1,000 jobs and preserve service to 25 commercial customers. MPBN reported that Irving-owned companies account for the big boost in the rail car traffic, but other Maine firms, including Irving competitors, are also using the line more. Employment at Maine Northern Railway has increased from 35 employees to 61 and "is growing every day," Nate Moulton, director of the Maine Department of Transportation's railroad program, told MPBN.

UPDATE: Hailey's Dad Bonds Out, Says Cops Want Him to 'Give Up'
By: Bigcountryhomepage.com Staff Reports
Updated: April 7, 2011
Clint Dunn has bonded out of the Mitchell County Jail.
Shortly after being released, Dunn posted the following message on his Facebook page:
another one of those days that didnt go very good. le wants me to give up so they can close the case.ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN! where is hailey darlene dunn?shes out there somewhere, somebody knows something. please dont give up on her.....
Original Story:
The father of missing 13-year-old Hailey Dunn was arrested this morning after showing up late to a scheduled court appearance.
Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs said by the time Clint Dunn had arrived, the judge had already issued a warrant for his arrest.
Dunn had turned himself in in February on a warrant for violating his probation
with the original charge of marijuana possession, driving with an
expired license, and a unsafe backing. The marijuana arrest happened in January 2010 and Dunn was sentenced to six months probation.
Today's 9 a.m. court appointment was related to the marijuana and expired license charges. Toombs said he did not know how late Dunn arrived.
Dunn is being held in the Mitchell County jail. A bond has not yet been set. Toombs estimated it would be set at $2,500 for each of the two counts.
In addition to a handful of marijuana convictions in the past, Dunn was
sentenced in 1994 to two years in prison and five years probation for
burglary of a building. He was 17 years old at the time.
Hailey Dunn was last seen on Dec. 27.

The price to mail a letter or your bills will go up to 46 cents Sunday.
The U.S. Postal Service also will introduce its Global Forever Stamp, allowing customers to mail letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10.
USPS first announced the price changes in October.
The new price is a penny increase from the previous price.
Forever stamps are always good for mailing a one-ounce letter anytime in the future regardless of price changes.
The price increase comes as the U.S. Postal Service continues to search for ways to diversify its business model, reign in legacy costs for retired postal workers and still provide service. Eliminating Saturday mail delivery has been discussed in Congressal hearings, as has closing certain postal locations.

It would have been nice to get this reminder when there was still a chance to buy Forever stamps at the 45 cent price!
Penny Pincher

No need to get all excited. To be fair, it was announced in October. If you depend on Patch for your 'mailing news' needs, you're expecting too much.
That being said, you can still easily purchase Forever Stamps today. Most grocery stores (esp big chains) sell stamps at the cash register, many ATMs have the option to dispense stamps, the USPS.com web store is open 24 hours a day, and many USPS physical locations have automated point of sale machines that you can get to on Sundays in their lobby.

About a year ago, it was suggested to me by my supervisor at Staff Development for Educators (SDE) that I try to develop some STEM projects for my class and try to include them in some of the sessions that I present at their conferences. (For a complete list of my upcoming presentations, please click here!) My first thought was, "Uh... why would I want to teach about stem cells in Kindergarten?" And then my next question was, "What is STEM?" (Unfortunately, this only revealed my own ignorance in the subject, LOL!) For those of you that are still in the dark regarding this topic like I was, the term "STEM" in relation to edu-speak refers to projects that integrate all four of these subjects: science, technology, engineering, and math. Hence the term, STEM! So for the purpose of this blog post, this discussion has NOTHING to do with stem cells at all, thankfully! And as far as the "engineering" part of it is concerned, all the children have to do is simply build something. SO..., in this project, they would need to use the scientific method, and perhaps hypothesize, predict, conclude, etc. They would need to use technology in it somehow, such as a camera, iPad, document camera, etc. They would need to build something, or try to "invent" something. And then they would need to use their math skills somehow, by counting, estimating, sorting, dividing (sharing equally), etc. According to SDE, there is grant money out there for teachers that create STEM projects! Hmm, very interesting!!! Now I just need to figure out where to apply for it!!!!
Some of the children made VERY large cubes! |
One student made this fabulous house! She told me that it was the "Leaning Tower of Pisa!" LOL! |
Another child made this structure that resembles a pyramid. |
Here is a cube that a child made with some diagonals for strength. |
This is my sample cube, made with diagonals for strength. |
This is the large cube made with double walled spaghetti noodles, diagonals, and extra marshmallows for strength! A Kindergarten student did this all by himself. |
Pin This to Pinterest!!! |
These are some pictures from our first attempt at making marshmallow structures! Pin me! |
I loved the results of this activity! I would love to think of some more STEM activities that are Kindergarten appropriate! Do you know of any? I did find one Kindergarten STEM site with lots of activities on it, but I would like to find more. Can you share them by leaving a comment? (I love comments!!!) Thanks!

Class I Recall of Endologix, Inc. AFX Introducer System
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing health care professionals of a Class I Recall of Endologix, Inc.'s AFX Introducer System Model S17-45 due to reports of the dilator breaking during procedures.
The AFX Introducer System is intended to help introduce catheters and other medical devices into blood vessels during procedures with minimal blood loss. This recalled product was distributed and manufactured from April 1, 2013 through April 30, 2013 and distributed in the U.S. only in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York. Affected lot numbers include 1079840, 1079843, 1079844, 1079845.
On May 13, 2013, Endologix sent its customers an Urgent Medical Device Recall Notice letter stating "Do not use or further distribute any affected product." The firm also instructed their customers to share this information with physicians who perform these procedures at their facilities. On May 21 the firm expanded the recall by mailing a recall notification letter to an additional customer. Customers may contact the firm with questions at 1-800-983-2284.

FDA Issues Drug Safety Communication for Zyprexa Relprevv (Olanzapine Pamoate)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating two unexplained deaths in patients who received an intramuscular injection of the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa Relprevv (olanzapine pamoate). The patients died 3-4 days after receiving an appropriate dose of the drug, well after the 3-hour post-injection monitoring period required under the Zyprexa Relprevv Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Both patients were found to have very high olanzapine blood levels after death.
Under the REMS, patients are required to receive the Zyprexa Relprevv injection at a REMS-certified health care facility, to be continuously monitored at the facility for at least 3 hours following an injection, and to be accompanied home from the facility. The Zyprexa Relprevv label contains warnings about the risk of post-injection delirium sedation syndrome (PDSS), a serious condition in which the drug enters the blood too fast following an intramuscular injection, causing greatly elevated blood levels with marked sedation (possibly including coma) and/or delirium
The FDA is providing this information to health care professionals while it continues its investigation. If therapy with Zyprexa Relprevv is started or continued in patients, health care professionals should follow the REMS requirements and drug label recommendations. Patients and caregivers should talk to their health care professional(s) about any questions or concerns.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
Read the complete MedWatch Safety Alert, including a link to the Safety Communication, at the link provided below.
FDA Issues Safety Communication and Guidance on Cybersecurity for Medical Devices and Hospital Networks
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending that medical device manufacturers and health care facilities take steps to assure that appropriate safeguards are in place to reduce the risk of failure due to cyberattack, which could be initiated by the introduction of malware into the medical equipment or unauthorized access to configuration settings in medical devices and hospital networks.
According to the FDA, many medical devices contain configurable embedded computer systems that can be vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. In addition, as medical devices are increasingly interconnected, via the Internet, hospital networks, other medical device, and smartphones, there is an increased risk of cybersecurity breaches, which could affect how a medical device operates.
Recently, the FDA has become aware of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents that could directly impact medical devices or hospital network operations, including:
- Network-connected/configured medical devices infected or disabled by malware;
- The presence of malware on hospital computers, smartphones and tablets, targeting mobile devices using wireless technology to access patient data, monitoring systems, and implanted patient devices;
- Uncontrolled distribution of passwords, disabled passwords, hard-coded passwords for software intended for privileged device access (e.g., to administrative, technical, and maintenance personnel);
- Failure to provide timely security software updates and patches to medical devices and networks and to address related vulnerabilities in older medical device models (legacy devices);
- Security vulnerabilities in off-the-shelf software designed to prevent unauthorized device or network access, such as plain-text or no authentication, hard-coded passwords, documented service accounts in service manuals, and poor coding/SQL injection.
The FDA is not aware of any patient injuries or deaths associated with these incidents nor do they have any indication that any specific devices or systems in clinical use have been purposely targeted at this time. The FDA has been working closely with other federal agencies and manufacturers to identify, communicate and mitigate vulnerabilities and incidents as they are identified.
The FDA Safety Communication has recommendations for device manufacturers as well as health care facilities.
The FDA is recommending that health care facilities take steps to evaluate network security and protect your hospital system. In evaluating network security, hospitals and health care facilities should consider:
- Restricting unauthorized access to the network and networked medical devices
- Making certain appropriate antivirus software and firewalls are up-to-date
- Monitoring network activity for unauthorized use
- Protecting individual network components through routine and periodic evaluation, including updating security patches and disabling all unnecessary ports and services
- Contacting the specific device manufacturer if there us suspicion of a cybersecurity problem related to a medical device. If unable to determine the manufacturer or cannot contact the manufacturer, the FDA and DHS ICS-CERT may be able to assist in vulnerability reporting and resolution
- Developing and evaluating strategies to maintain critical functionality during adverse conditions.
Prompt reporting of adverse events can help the FDA identify and better understand the risks associated with medical devices. If a confirmed or suspected cybersecurity event has impacted the performance of a medical device or has impacted a hospital network system, the FDA encourages reporting through MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting program.
Included with today's notice are policies and procedures related to the FDA Guidance on preventing cybersecurity attacks. Organizations will find that many of the recommendations included in this FDA guidance are already required by existing HIPAA regulations.

The incoming president of Mexico visited President Obama in the White House on Tuesday and vowed to help him pass comprehensive legislation overhauling the American immigration system even as Republicans begin looking for a bill they can support too.
Enrique Peña Nieto, who will be inaugurated as Mexico's president on Saturday, made the customary stop in Washington first to get acquainted with his northern counterpart. His arrival coincided with a postelection political shift in Washington that has given fresh momentum to long-stalled proposals to liberalize immigration policy.
"We fully support your proposal, sir, for this migration reform," Mr. Peña Nieto told Mr. Obama in the Oval Office. "More than demanding what you should do or shouldn't do, we do want to tell you that we want to contribute. We really want to participate with you. We want to contribute towards the accomplishment."
Mr. Peña Nieto's visit came on the same day that two retiring Republican senators unveiled their own proposal to make it easier for immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children to stay, a sign of the rapidly evolving politics of immigration.
Senators Jon Kyl of Arizona and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas introduced what they called the Achieve Act as an alternative to the so-called Dream Act supported by Mr. Obama and most Democrats. The Kyl-Hutchison plan would give legal residency to many younger illegal immigrants, but not a path to citizenship as the Democratic version would.
"Many young people in this country are here illegally through no fault of their own," the two senators said in a joint written statement. "Relegating a potentially productive portion of the population to the shadows is neither humane nor good economic or social policy."
A number of prominent conservatives, including Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, former Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi and the Fox News host Sean Hannity, have embraced some moves toward easing immigration rules since this month's election. Latinos made up 10 percent of the electorate for the first time and overwhelmingly supported Mr. Obama's re-election.
Unless they relax the party's traditional hard line on illegal immigration, some Republicans believe they risk long-term political damage. As a result, the White House, which had largely abandoned immigration legislation since Republicans took control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections in favor of less sweeping executive action, now sees a chance for early bipartisan consensus on the issue in the new year.
The Kyl-Hutchison proposal would extend legal residency to illegal immigrants seeking college degrees or serving in the military who entered the country before the age of 14, have lived here for five years, have not committed a felony, can demonstrate knowledge of English and are still 28 or younger, or 32 if they have a degree from an American college. They would be denied access to public welfare benefits, federal student loans or other federal benefits.
Immigration activists rejected the proposal. United We Dream, a network of young immigrants, called it "a cynical political gesture" because it does not provide a road map to citizenship. "We won't stop fighting until we win citizenship for every single new American," Lorella Praeli, the group's advocacy and policy director, said in a statement.
In addressing reporters in the Oval Office, Mr. Peña Nieto did not elaborate on how he hoped to help Mr. Obama pass immigration legislation. Before arriving at the White House, he visited Capitol Hill, where he had a photo opportunity with Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic minority leader. "We hope to address the migration issue by having comprehensive immigration reform brought before the Congress when the president sends it to us," she said.
After several years in which security and drugs dominated the Mexican-American relationship, Mr. Peña Nieto stressed that he wanted to talk about a variety of other issues as well, including jobs, trade, North American integration and education.
Mr. Obama announced that he would send Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to Mr. Peña Nieto's inauguration on Saturday and hinted that he would visit himself in 2013. "Any excuses to go to Mexico," Mr. Obama said, "I'm always game."
