Three people chose to enter the contest, with entries that could not have been more different.
Complete DC newcomer Eric Wong blew everyone away with not one but two unusual entries that were extremely impressive from a technical/programming standpoint. His first program, Webcam Signature, uses a computer webcam to identify and track a colored object and let users create signatures from it. It's described by eric (VideoInPicture) on this thread, and has it's own full and beautiful website along with a video demo: here.
Eric's second submission, coded in only a couple of weeks, is called Circle Dock, and is a wonderfully cool implementation of a circular floating toolbar/dock/start menu. Eric describes it in this thread and has another great website for it complete with a demo movie: here.
Long time active DC participant EĂłin entered a very polished professional program for managing sets of windows system services. His program is called ServiceProfiles, and is described on this post has a website: here. It's a program we expect many power users would find immediately useful and valuable:
Sometimes poster and long time DonationCoder chatroom participant Hollowlife1987 submitted Btts, a complete standalone torrent tracker, complete with it's own web server (made in C# with asp.net). It's a pretty impressive accomplishment and a very cool demonstration of what can be done combining asp with C# in a standalone tool.
In the end we AGONIZED over who to give the prize to. All of them really deserved it for different reasons.
It's a strange prize to give out because it's such a varied set of tools that very few people on planet earth would have real use for more than one or two of the components in it. We decided to ask the participants to tell us honestly how they would use the prize if they won it.. We do this quite a bit at DonationCoder because we try very hard to be fair and put things into the hands of those who will benefit from them.
This was actually the primary way we decided who to give the prize to -- not by deciding which program or programmer we liked best, but by deciding at this stage who we thought could most use it.
In the end we decided that there will be no single "Winner" but that:
- We will give the MSDN giveaway prize to EĂłin.
- And we will create additional prizes for the other 2 entrants; Eric and Hollow both will get $250 in cash to spend as they wish (hopefully on programming related stuff!), and we'll endeavor to find some other gifts for them as well.
- And all entrants will get a custom mug commemorating the contest (hey this is the best prize of all) and free web hosting for life.
So congratulations to the 3 winners, tied for first place: Eric Wong (VideoInPicture), EĂłin O'Callaghan, and Hollowlife1987.
You should all be proud, and on behalf of DonationCoder and Veign, thank you for making this forum and site a more enjoyable and educational place to hang out.
I hope you will all keep us updated on your programs and future work. Eric in particular we cannot wait to see what software you develop next(!)

after getting my 223 varmit build done. I am now looking at the PPC line of ammo. 6mm .22 .20 &.17 PPC rounds are made from 220 russian. the 220 Russian is derived from the 7.62 x 39 Russian by necking it down. The 6mm PPC is considerd the most accurate in the world at 200 yards in bench rest.Tthere will be some pro,s and cons to this build the pro,s are 1 the bolt can be used as is from the AK 47 so I will not need to spend $70 for a 223 bolt. 2 the mag should work as well. 3 the rest of the kit with the exception of the barrel and possable the bullet guide should work as well.
The cons 1. the cost of ammo will be very high must be reloaded 2. will require A custom barrel.
I found a set of 22 PPC rcbs dies at a local sporting good store missing the directions for $10.00! a local gun smith has a reamer and will ream a chamber for $55 or I can buy my own reamer for aroud $100. If I decide to build several guns I will buy the reamer. Lupa sells 220 russian brass but it is not cheap. I am looking at necking down and reforming 7.62x39 brass for varmits and using the good stuff for bench work. I am not positive the 7.62 x 39 can be used I am just getting into relading I have read that the 6mm PPC can be done for sure. this ammo will not be as accurate as the lupa based brass as it uses a larger primer hole is not as concentic and all of that. I have heard that fire forming is the norm for good accuracy how ever good groups are seen while fire forming. I suspect that for it cycle reliably It will need a some what loose chamber and a no neck turned throat. I woud apreciate any input from the reloaders out there before starting this build. I plan on using a comercial take off barrel and rechambering it first. this will again be a heavy barrel varmit set up scope only build taking what I learned from the 223 build.

Edition: 2011
52 pages
Translations: Chinese
Release Date: 2011
Nearly one-third of global energy and one-quarter of worldwide carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are attributable to industrial activities that are not in the power generation sector. If climate change is to be successfully tackled, these sectors will need to transform the way they use energy and significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. In sectors such as iron and steel, oil refining, cement and chemicals and petrochemicals, emission can be reduced through efficiency improvements and integration of low carbon energy sources. Crucially, however, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as the only large-scale mitigation option available that can deliver the additional CO2 emissions reductions that would be necessary to meet the climate goals in 2050.
This roadmap shows that CCS is a key cost-effective option for reducing CO2 emissions in large energy-intensive industries. In fact, much of the promising short-term potential for CCS globally lies not in the power sector but in industrial activities that currently vent highly pure streams of CO2. These activities include hydrogen production for fertilisers or fuel, bioethanol production and natural gas sweetening. Most studies on the potential application of CCS have focused on the power sector, however, even though all existing operational large-scale demonstrations of CCS are in industrial applications. In the longer-term, half of the global economic deployment for CCS by 2050 is shown to be in industrial applications. In certain sectors CCS is shown to be of particular relevance in developing countries, where it could be a highly cost-competitive emissions abatement option, even in the near term.
This technology roadmap builds on the initial IEA roadmap on CCS and also the technology roadmap for the cement sector developed by the IEA and the Cement Sustainability Initiative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. It paves the way for low-carbon industrial growth in developed and developing countries by providing a vision of CCS in industrial applications up to 2050.

FIAM: Fiam was born from one man's passion for glass and a dream to make glass a unique star in the world of fine furniture design.
Founded by Vittorio Livi in 1973, Fiam designs, develops and produces items of furniture in curved glass, creating them through a combination of craftsmanship and industrial processes. The company merges tradition and innovation, hand-crafting and design. Founder Livi came to know and appreciate glass from a very young age. Glass, solid and fragile, natural and artificial, ancient and industrial, is a mass of seeming contradictions, and Livi loved it for this as well as its practical qualities. Simple in its appearance and transparency, the chemistry and physics behind glass are actually quite complex. And this material of vast potential was virtually only used in the world of furniture for the production of small accessories or ornaments. In the young Vittorio Livi's creative mind, a dream began to take shape: glass would become a unique star in the world of fine design, being used to produce items of furniture which would be astonishingly solid yet beautifully transparent. From its earliest days, Fiam immediately focused on innovation as the driving force for achieving its business and cultural aims.
Each of Fiam's precisely crafted and finished products rely on the experience of skilled craftsmen - experts in technical skills such as silver-coating, bending, decoration, fusion, engraving, grinding and carving. Each craftsman is capable of predicting, quantifying, controlling and finding the right alternatives in every single case. Using the bending process, the master craftsman's experience and his ability to work in perfect harmony with the furnace operator are fundamental for controlling the perfect shapes produced. In spite of the state-of-the-art technology used to forge it, the finished item is unique: a crafted work of art. At Fiam the master craftsman is considered just as important as the designer in the piece's creation. And, Fiam sees a designer's ability to take risks with shapes as a welcome challenge to its technical expertise. The company has gone to lengths to tailor its technologies to produce its design-driven collection.
Hand-in-hand with its innovation in design, Livi has always invested heavily in research and innovation in technology. Industrially produced glass reaches Fiam in the form of sheets and precisely calibrated processes and state of the art machinery ensures that their bent glass furniture designs are perfectly formed to resist breakage and perform as a lasting furniture piece. Fiam has now reached its fifth generation of glass bending operations: the master glass craftsman is now assisted by ground-breaking technologies in terms of both instruments and materials, enabling the company to rise to the increasingly challenging demands of the designers who wish to work with this peerless material.
Architect and designer, Ilaria Marelli, founded the creative lab Ilaria Marelli Studio in 2004, specializing in product, exhibition and interior design. The studio also provides strategy and trend consultancy to fashion and design companies. Marelli has designed products and collections for Cappellini, Cassina, Zanotta, Fiam, Bosa Ceramica, E&Y, Invicta and Coin. She develops fashion and design exhibit projects (the Pitti Fashion Events, for example) and designs private interiors and showrooms, like the Aquagirl select shop in Tokyo. Marelli teaches industrial design at Milano Politecnico and collaborates with Poli.design on applied research projects. She was designated by the Italian Culture Ministry to be member of the first Italian Design Council, and is promoting the first Italian co-housing project.View other products by Ilaria Marelli

A proposed bill introduced in late February has midwives across the state rattled.
The South Carolina Lay Midwife Act proposes a host of changes that could be a "de facto ban" on home births and licensed midwives, said student midwife and apprentice Jennifer O'Briant,
The bill would require an obstetrician to sponsor and supervise licensed midwives. Midwives, typically not obstetricians, attend home births. O'Briant, a former Aiken resident now residing in Columbia, said that state regulations already require midwives to have a collaborative relationship with an obstetric provider.
The bill also defines those in the profession as "lay midwives," which is someone who "may have had little formal training or recognized professional education in midwifery."
O'Briant said that from 2009 to 2011, there was a 55 percent increase in out-of-hospital births in South Carolina, and this bill could strip families of the choice to choose a safe out-of-hospital birth, especially with the bill's definition of "lay midwives" in place.
"It's a reckless piece of legislation with derogatory language, and we were all surprised by it," O'Briant said.
Local midwife Tavish Brinton said that being referred to as a layperson is insulting because of the years of training that is completed to accomplish her profession. Brinton is a licensed South Carolina midwife of 30 years and said a lot of work goes into getting certified. Currently, prospective midwives must pass both the North American Registry of Midwives national written exam and an oral exam offered through S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The bill proposes to change the process of midwife licensing by calling for an advisory committee to be established under the state Board of Medical Examiners, which would handle certification.
Elizabeth Alger is a licensed midwife apprentice who said that requiring the supervision of an obstetrician is not economically feasible. She added that the standards set by DHEC for licensed midwives in this state are more stringent than what is required by the North America Registry of Midwives.
"If there is anything that South Carolina midwives are not, it's uneducated," Alger said.
Ashley Stevenson, co-leader of CSRA Birthing Connections, had a midwife and planned a home birth though she had to have a Caesarean section. Stevenson said that midwives do not handle any high-risk pregnancies, and if a problem arises during a home birth, she said a licensed midwife is competent enough to know when a trip to the hospital is necessary.
Brinton said if this bill were to pass, women would lose the freedom to choose to give birth at home or in a birth center rather than a hospital.
"This is an option in maternity care that is very much worth preserving, and this is the option of normal, time-intensive prenatal care and physiologic conduct of labor and birth," Brinton said.
The bill has sparked a lot of concern and attention around the state. More than 4,500 have signed an online petition started by O'Briant on Sunday.
Calls made by the Aiken Standard to the bill's co-sponsors, which includes representatives Kris Crawford, J. Anne Parks, Robert Ridgeway III and Phyllis Henderson, were not returned by press time. Crawford did tell WLTX in Columbia that the purpose is to ensure that the care provided by midwives is compliant to the standards of the health care industry and that the bill needs more work.

Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 - accessory review
p style="text-align: center;">
I have just finished my stint with the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 (hence-forth "Feather", that title is just way too long). What can I say? I like! The really thin nature of the case and the grip it provides is really nice. Plus, there are some extra benefits too. Keep reading to see all you get with this awesome case.
The first thing you will notice when you open the packaging for this case is that you get more than just a case, you also receive two surface protectors and a cleaning cloth. This is a very nice value for the price of this case ($23.95). The case itself is, as described, light and thin. It adds minimal thickness to the iPhone 4 and has a nice grip too it. I often refer to this as "grippy" plastic. Not slippery, but adds enough traction to be useful and stick in your pocket. The cut of the case is very precise. The back is completely covered except the camera and flash exposed. The case is very flush against the back with no real room for lint to enter. The sides flush as well. In fact, once you slip on the case, it can be a challenge to take it off. This, is a good thing.
The only issue with this case is that it does not protect the screen at all. For example, Apple's bumper case extends past the glass to prevent any accidental scratches, etc. So, to remedy this and make the case as thin as possible, Incipio kindly includes two surface protectors. To make it easy for you, they even include an applicator for the surface protector. The side of the case only extends to cover the height of the silver antenna, so there is still about a millimeter or so of glass exposed. Even with a screen protector, it is possible that the glass could crack if hit at the proper angle.
This is easily one of the best cases for the iPhone 4 if you like this style of case. It isn't rubber, but plastic, grips well and keeps the device thin and comes with two surface protectors. This case not only looks awesome, but protects in conjunction with the included protectors. Oh, and if you want colors, there are a whopping 12 colors to choose from.
You can find the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 at the TiPb iPhone 4 accessory store.
- Really light and thin
- Solid protection
- Grippy feel
- Lots of colors
- Case offers no frontal protection (includes surface protectors though)

Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 - accessory review
I use the SwitchEasy NUDE. It's super thin, comes with dock and earphone jack covers and two screen protectors. It's also somewhat transparent so you can see the back of your phone...if that's what you're into. :)
I had the paint peeling issue as well. Incipio offered to replace it, but sent the Silicrylic case instead of another Feather. Not sure if that was accidental, or if they're having quality control issues with the Feather and swapping them out. (The Feather on my old 3G still looks as good as the day I bought it.)
As an aside, I wouldn't recommend using the 2nd screen protector on the back glass unless you modify the cutout to accommodate the camera lens and flash.
@mp99 - nope, it does not fit in the dock. Works with all my connectors - but not the dock.
Discovered the Feather line when I bought one for my 3GS, and loved that case. I am pleased with the iPhone 4 Feather case overall. The screen protectors it came with ended up getting discarded...they really did not look very nice on the phone. I am definitely having the matte finish flaking issue, which is not ideal, but functionally the case works well. I have ended up carrying the phone in an old Oakley "microfiber-ish" sunglass pouch to protect the screen while in my pocket....the screen scratches more easily than the 3GS.
Please add to the cons 'some users have reported paint peeling issues'. Same thing just happened to me. They are sending a replacement, but it's a pain, and it may happen again.
Great review Chad. I have this case since late June and simply love it. Had 3GS version for last iPhone. That one cracked after 4 months near headphone jack but that is a non-issue on this version as they have re-designed it. Incipio replaced that one and I had no troubles with the replacement.
Bottom line. Looks and feels great. Minimal protection but its totally worth the trade off for me. I love the Feather. Perfect case for me.
LOVE the Incipio feather case. I have it in the tonic, pearl white. I love the pearlescent finish.
I wanted a case that would be VERY minimal, and I got the pearl white since I was bummed that I couldn't get the white iPhone 4.
This case, however, is minimalistic thus it does not offer much protection when you drop it. Obviously, it will protect the back, but the front will get scratched. I dropped my phone the other day while carrying a bunch of stuff to my car. It fell about 3 feet. -_- Very slight scratches around the edge of the front screen. Thankfully a simple black Sharpie marker made it go away..
I'll keep using my Feather case even though it doesn't offer a lot of impact/shock/drop protection. I never understood why people put ugly, bulky cases on a phone that is meant to be SLIM.
great case slimline looks great
I just received the case and it looked like it was going to be perfect. Nope. As I attempted to remove the stickers attached to the surface protectors, I ended up with that hopelessly stuck sticker-residue still attached. In the process of trying to get that residue off, both of the protectors ended up smudged, bent, smeared and pretty much worthless. On top of that, the protector is not held in place by the cover so it seems as though it would be easily displaced. I'm going to try a different design and company at this point.
I've had this case for a few months now and would like to add one other con to the list. The "grippy" plastic, as you like to call it, wears off easily. Once it starts wearing you can almost peel the surrounding areas off. This leaves the case looking cheap.

I've been using this case for almost a year now and absolutely love it. The case is incredibly thin and barely changes the phone's shape. The "grippy" texture is perfect. You won't be worried about slippage even when you're fumbling with the door on a rainy day, grocery bags in one hand, keys in the other, and trying to cradle the phone on your shoulder.
I've dropped the phone several times without incident (lucky I suppose to have never hit the scintilla of glass edge still visible). I've had no experience with the wearing described in the other comment.
I can't speak for the included surface protectors- I had already installed a Zagg screen protector on front and back. I definitely recommend some kind of screen protector though.

Inpatient Pharmacy Services
We have more than 130 pharmacy employees on staff including pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Our pharmacies process in excess of 2,000 medication orders each day. Every order is reviewed by a pharmacist to maximize safety and therapeutic outcomes.

They work together with physicians, nurses, and other members of the healthcare team to maximize each patient's safety as well as medication therapy outcomes. These pharmacists also perform medication teaching for inpatients. They are available upon your request to answer questions about medications you are receiving in the hospital (or may be continuing once you leave the hospital). Please feel free let your nurse or physician know if you would like to speak with one.

Key Features
Click to See Complete Item Details »

- Crafted of finely aged mahogany, the table features two tops that hinge open when in use
- The tops are supported by a gate-leg, while the table rests on ball-and-claw feet

Item Details
- Width:
35 Inches
- Height:
30 Inches
- Depth:
17 Inches
- Period:
18th Century
- Origin:
There is more than meets the eye with this exceptional George III-period table. Crafted of luxurious mahogany and aged to a rich patina, this table opens to reveal not one, but two different surfaces. Lift the first top to use the table as a tea table, and when tea is over, lift the second top and play a game of cards on the green baize-lined surface, which is complete with sunken wells for chips. Outset corners provide the perfect place to rest a teacup, and a gate-leg swings out to support the hinged tops securely. Exhibiting the best of traditional Georgian design, the cabriole legs are accented with acanthus and end in ball-and-claw feet, while a frieze drawer adds to the table's incredible functionality. A staple in homes during the 18th and 19th centuries, when entertaining at home was of primary social importance, these tables were crafted in a multitude of styles. Folding tables such as this, especially 18th-century examples, are particularly prized by collectors today.

Norm Charlton prepares to release a small redfish while fishing in front of the recent cool front this past week.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The trout were not very big, but they were aggressive and plentiful at our second stop of the morning this past week in Mesquite Bay. All were caught on soft plastics made by MirrOLure.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We caught a mess of trout near Cedar Bayou this past week. The pace was brisk and there were enough keepers to make it interesting.
Norm Charlton Jr. played with the Cincinnati Reds from 1988 to 1992 and again in 2000. Charlton was part of the Reds Nasty Boys bullpen trio when the team won the World Series in 1990.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Norm Charlton tried to wrestle this drum from the bay, but it slipped away. We later hooked and rescued the big fish, which was having trouble swimming with a full air bladder.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This small cove across from Matagorda Island produced mostly redfish.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Norm Charlton sets the hook on another trout on the backside of Matagorda Island this past week.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Retired Major Leaguer Norm Charlton accepted the challenge of completing a Texas Slam by catching a flounder. And he was successful.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We caught mostly trout with a few redfish in the Mesquite Bay area north of Rockport.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Norm Charlton found a tight concentration of trout where the bay color changed from green to murky not far from the Matagorda Island side of Cedar Bayou. The aggressive bite lasted for more than an hour.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Former Major League pitcher Norm Charlton Jr. retired to Rockport to fish familiar waters and to be near his parents.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We did not weigh or measure this bull drum before release air from its swim bladder and then releasing the fish. I'd bet it weighed 50 pounds.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Norm Charlton Jr. recently earned his captain's license, which allows him to run charter trips in the bay. Charlton's dad said his son carries the same work ethic into guiding as did when he pitched in the Major League.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Ahead of this recent cool front the weather was mild and the morning was calm for Norm Charlton and me along the backside of Matagorda Island.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Former Major League relief pitcher Norm Charlton prepared to release this huge bull drum that needed a little first aid. It seemed to swim away healthy after Charlton released the air in its swim bladder.

Comments, questions and tips
These are delicious! I've made two batches now, my kids and husband love them....as do I :) Make sure you get them out of the oven after 12 minutes as stated, any longer and they'll go quite hard and won't taste quite as good. 12 minutes, and they're are lovely and soft in the middle, and so chocolately!!
Baked this to the recipe. The mixture was very dry and dusty so 'dripping off the spoon' is not going to happen! I baked them a little bit too long as they felt too gooey after 12 minutes. Wish I'd taken them out at 12 mins and allowed them to settle as mine were slightly burnt and dry. Good simple recipe all the same. Trust the baking times!
My two teenage daughters made these tonight and they were a bit hit with everyone. So simple and quick to make although the mixture was very stiff, i had to help with that part. Made them without chocolate chips as I didn't have any in but they were still fab. Left to cool slightly and had them as a dessert with squirty cream.
Delicious! I halved the recipe and ended up with 12 decent sized chunky cookies, the only mistake I made was leaving them in for a couple of minutes longer as they didn't look done enough so they were a bit dry around the edges. Next time I will flatten them a bit before putting in the oven and will take them out after 12 minutes as per the recipe.

The 12th Annual Soccer Invitational held by KidsPeace in Orefield, PA, on August 22 and 23, was a huge success. The organizers and planning committee of the event would like to thank the players, coaches, families and spectators who visited the Orchard Hills Campus during the tournament not only for their good sportsmanship and respect for others, but for arriving as strangers and leaving as friends of KidsPeace. More than 100 volunteers from the ranks of KidsPeace and the community contributed to making the tournament run smoothly and safely and ensuring that an enjoyable time was experienced by all. KidsPeace estimates that more than 4,000 individuals were present to play or cheer on their favorite teams.
Community service is a big component of the residential treatment programs at KidsPeace, so many of the children also provided invaluable assistance to the tournament organizers. From making signs to assist visitors in finding where they should be to marshaling games to assisting with setup and cleanup, our kids happily pitched in to help ensure the success of the tournament. Many of our associates spent their days off helping out, and several brought along family and friends to make the weekend one to remember. There was much good will everywhere, and visitors left with a positive impression of KidsPeace and those who work here.
KidsPeace is eager to receive feedback from those who attended the soccer tournament. We would like to know what we did well and where we can improve for next year's tournament. Therefore, if you attended the 12 Annual KidsPeace Soccer Invitational, we ask you to take a few minutes to complete our survey and share your thoughts with us. We hope to see you next year and ask you to bring your family and friends to play, help out or watch some great soccer competition. Save the date for August 21 and 22, 2010, for the 13th Annual KidsPeace Soccer Invitational.
It's that time of year again and parents all over the
country are getting their children to return to school. Whether it is a little
one going to Kindergarten for the first time, or a young adult going away to
college, there are bound to be some worries and concerns for both kids and
parents. KidsPeace Institute Senior Training and Development Specialist Jodi Campbell offers some suggestions on how to ease the transitions.
WORRY and ANXIETY
Going back to school represents change: a new year, a
new start. Kids may be flooded with questions and worries about coming school year: Will I like my school and my teacher? What if I miss mom and dad?
Will the kids like me? Will I be able to talk to that cute girl this year? How
will I handle my classes? Can I even do the work? What will my roommate be
like? Is that mean kid going to be in my class again this year? What will
happen on the bus ride?
Worry and anxiety can cause some of the following:
Usually, these are temporary and will resolve in a few weeks
once the transition is established. If they do not, consult a doctor.
It may be difficult to know what your child is thinking, so
the best thing to do is ASK. Start the conversation in a casual way, perhaps
while he/she is doing something enjoyable. Meet your child where she is. Get
down on the floor in the playroom. Send a message on Facebook. Talk in the car.
Some possible conversation starters:
Elementary School: "So, school is starting really soon. You
must be excited AND nervous at the same time! I know I would be. What do you
Middle School: "So, what are you thinking about school? Are
you freaking out at all? Worried about anything? Talk to me…"
High School: "Hey – just want to check in with you about
high school starting. I know you are totally ready for this. But just remember
I'm here if you're stressing out at all. Let me know if there is anything I can
do, ok?"
College: "So, leaving home. This is huge. What's going
through your mind about all this?"
Dealing with worry and anxiety can be overwhelming, but
remember…lots of times it's just a matter of thinking things through out loud.
When we keep it inside, it can get out of control. When we talk it out and put
it all on the table, it's much more manageable. So, do what you can to bring up
conversations and provide opportunities to vent. But, this is important…DO NOT
force your child to talk. Make yourself easy to talk to. If you do this, then,
even if they do not talk now, they will later…when they really need to.
PREVENTING WORRY and ANXIETY
You and your child have made it through the transition, perhaps with no initial worries, but now some problems are cropping up…
PROBLEMS at SCHOOL
Some of the more common problems children experience in the
school environment include:
Elementary and Middle School:
High School:
So first, how does a parent KNOW there are problems at
Ok, so you think there is a problem. What do you do?
So, what if you've tried all these things, and your child is
still suffering? What if in your "gut" you just KNOW that something is really
If you suspect that your child is getting depressed or
having a serious mental health issue (suicidal, hurting others, eating
disorder, self-injury, etc.) you should GET HELP.
Do not be afraid to contact a professional so that your
child can talk to someone who has helped other children before in the same
situation. Don't go it alone.
How to get help:
The Foster Care and Community Services office in Raleigh, NC, has gained support from NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson. Program Manager Paige Pait learned that the popular racer was seeking out worthy causes to help out through the Jimmie Johnson Foundation and his "Helmet of Hope" fundraising campaign. Nominations were sent to the foundation by KidsPeace FCCP Raleigh Board of Associates members and members of the foster care community. Thanks to one nomination in particular by Thomas Swieca of Pinehurst, NC, KidsPeace was chosen as one of 12 organizations whose logos will appear on Jimmie's helmet during the October 11 Pepsi 500 Sprint Club Race at California's Auto Club Raceway. Additionally, the Jimmie Johnson Foundation will contribute $1048 to the Children's Fund of the Raleigh FCCP office, and all 12 organizations will share the profits from a tee shirt that will be sold online and display all 12 logos on the back.
"This is huge recognition of KidsPeace from an extremely popular NASCAR driver," Paige said, "and our logo will be seen by millions during this race." NASCAR followers are known for their philanthropy, and the Foundation will be conducting a major public relations effort to promote the cause and the organizations that were selected as benefactors. Learn more about the foundation and order a tee shirt at www.jimmiejohnsonfoundation.org. KidsPeace greatly appreciates this honor and hopes to reach out to the many fans of and racers in the NASCAR sport.

Whom it May Concern:
About 18 months ago, I
needed help for my three children. We were going through so many changes in our
family. We were dealing with the issues of a divorce, new relationships, new
stepfamily, new baby, moving to a new home and undesirable input from others
I had visited with a
private counselor, but she did not accept our insurance. She was kind enough to
look into possible avenues for us and referred me to
KidsPeace. I had seen the sign for KidsPeace on the window of her building, but
I was not familiar with the organization. I really needed help. I called KidsPeace. From our first conversation, I felt comfortable with the counselor. She was
a wonderful listener. She asked lots of questions, was not judgmental and, most
of all, it was obvious that she was the advocate of each child who was her
client. She was interested in the well-being of the child, the confidence,
security in and of self, the free thinking and the ability of that child to
accept, communicate about, embrace, and participate in, his or her life,
whatever that might look like to that individual child.
Some of the issues we
identified in our planning meetings were anger, confidence and sibling
"rivalry." We, with the children's input, established goals for the
three-month periods. I feel that our counselor helped the children to address the
issues that pertained to each of them. I have especially seen my daughter,
Linda*, 11 years old, apply the tools that she learned in counseling sessions .
Linda has actually come to me when I am having a problem and offered her
opinion, which is full of ideas and skills that have come from her counseling
with KidsPeace! I have seen her take a situation that is difficult for her and go
from anger and being "out of control" to being positive, clear about
her feelings, identifying pro's and con's, in control of her feelings and ready to
meet the situation head-on. It is amazing to watch. She has gained tools that
will serve her throughout her life. We have a very open household now, full of
open communication and encouragement, and she is flourishing; I most definitely
attribute much of her growth and success to her experience with her KidsPeae counselor.
only was our counselor highly effective in her sessions with the children, she made
herself available to me whenever I needed to talk with her. I called her
many times to update her on the kids' situations, but, very often, I was vexed
with a problem and needed advice. I called and she listened and advised,
always with a sincere concern for James*, Joseph* and Linda. This was very
helpful, especially in regard to James. I was going through a difficult time
when James did not want to come to my home and spend time with me. I
struggled for weeks and months over it and finally took her advice ... We
had a session in which I sat with James and the counselor and told him that I loved
him, and, because I loved him, I would let him do what he wanted to do. He
smiled at me and said, "Gracias." It was a wonderful moment.
Our relationship has improved, and continues to improve, since that day.
One by one, each of my
children expressed that he or she was ready to finish counseling. So, we did
close them out, each at the appropriate time. KidsPeace staff were wonderful to all of us
from our first encounter to the last session. We left the door open for any of
the children to return if the need arises.
have obviously been very happy and satisfied with KidsPeace and with our counselor individually. Thank you for providing such a valuable service.

Richard* came to KidsPeace in May of 2007 dressed in a pressed pink button down shirt with a bright pair of pink shoes and a smile that peeked out from some long shaggy hair. He was a 13-year-old boy who had just been kicked out of his previous placement because the clinicians there had not successful at helping him with his issues. Upon his arrival, we learned that Richard had been physically and sexually abused by his father and was neglected by his mother before coming into DFCS custody.
His first month at KidsPeace affirmed that Richard was a true abuse survivor, as evidenced by his getting angry and scared with little provocation, difficulty trusting adults and little to no self-confidence. Richard's typical day was spent punching mats, cursing and pushing everybody away. The therapist helped him understand and accept that he did not deserve to be abused and how he could protect himself in the future. The entire staff at KidsPeace and the Bowdon community showed him that most adults can be trusted. The therapist also taught Richard's mother appropriate parenting skills; she educated her on the role of a mother and emphasized her responsibility to protect him from any possible future abuse. Richard was finally able to talk about his sadness and began to open up about the hopes and dreams he has in his life, he was able develop a plan for what he needs to do if anybody ever tries to hurt him. Once the "real" young man came to light, Richard began to win the hearts of staff and students alike. KidsPeace discovered he felt best when he was able to work hard, and when he felt like people cared about him.
The day before Valentine's Day, this boy dressed in pink, about two inches taller, hair cut and styled, left to step down to a group home that was closer to his mom's house. During a recent training off-campus, this client's therapist ran into some staff from the group home who shared they had put Richard to work in the kitchen and he continues to do well. He is able to attend a public school and has been able to control his anger and express himself appropriately. The family has been able to participate in weekly counseling, and Richard is hoping to return home soon.

Darlene* arrived at KidsPeace National Centers of Georgia after habitually running away from other placements. She entered the campus with few possessions except for the clothes on her back and a spiky hairstyle to complement her alternative fashion style. Darlene had survived a long history of neglect and physical abuse at the hands of her biological father and adoptive aunt and uncle. She had little to no reference for the notion of stability. When she would run away, she was exposed to many drugs, exploitation and prostitution to meet her daily needs. These stresses led to an eating disorder and self-injurious behaviors – the marks of which were evident on her arms. Subsequently, she presented as depressed, hopeless and with little regard for her own well-being, much less self respect or esteem.Despite these adversities, Darlene was a bright and insightful young lady who was willing to work on her issues, IF she could begin trusting people. Darlene slowly began to build relationships with her KidsPeace associates and therapists, leading to acknowledgment of her underlying issues. She was then able to start using her intelligence and insight to begin healing and fostering her resilience in healthy ways rather than her usual self-destructive patterns.Due to Darlene's lifestyle, she was very far behind in school. As she began to make effort, KidsPeace was able to help her catch up to her expected grade level. Her grades improved to straight A's by discharge. This success served to build confidence and motivation in her in terms of academics.Darlene has remained with KidsPeace as an outpatient client. Because of this, KidsPeace of Georgia associates have witnessed the flourishing of the seeds planted while she was in placement here. Not only did she never run from KidsPeace, she has never run from her subsequent placements either. Unfortunately, not all support systems have been positive for Darlene. She eventually moved from her group home back to the home of her aunt and uncle. She even continued family therapy with them at KidsPeace. However, shortly before her state case was closed, it was revealed that her uncle had again resorted to physical abuse and violence against Darlene. She was returned to a group home where she remained until recently.Darlene is moving into a loving foster care placement dedicated to building on her continued success. She has worked diligently on her academics and continues to make straight A's. She is now scheduled to graduate on time with her peers and is planning to attend a local university. Darlene was recently awarded one of a handful of scholarships to a one-week workshop at a prestigious out of state university to hone her professional skills with some of the best and brightest minds in her field of study. This scholarship was a result of her own motivation and her demonstration of ability, not her background or history. Darlene is feeling a sense of confidence unknown to her just two years ago. This shows not only through her joyful and hopeful soul, but also in her healthy weight and scarless arms. Darlene's triumph over extreme adversity is a testament to her own will and resilience, but also to the support and stability from KidsPeace. There are countless other Darlene's waiting to be discovered if given the chance.

Fred Indenbaum, Counselor from the KidsPeace Advances School in Berks PA, was invited to visit Puerto Rico last month and participate in the island's second annual "Veggie Fest." Fred stayed at the home of a local health care consulting firm executive and spent the weekend giving presentations and informal talks about the garden his kids tend on the Berks Campus. There was significant interest in the Advances gardening program for all of the therapeutic value it provides in addition to its bountiful yield of vegetables and flowers.
The festival was great fun and a terrific learning experience, and Fred was delighted with all of the interest shown for his program by members of the health and wellness community. There was coverage by a local radio station as well as high attendance. Fred also visited an inner city elementary school where his host would like to start a similar garden for the children of the area.
Fred also explained the Advances vericomposting project where the students recycle food waste and paper into rich soil for the garden. This not only helps the planet but also saves the school money in trash hauling costs. He showed the men plastic lumber, which is made from recycled plastic and works very well in garden settings. Fred impressed everyone so much with his knowledge and passion for environmental issues, that he was invited to return to Puerto Rico in October to make a formal preentation to the civic and business leaders of the Rotary Club. He will also meet with a grant writer to help the program obtain funding. Fred is delighted to help start a sister organization that can exchange ideas with the Advances program to benefit both projects.
Hans Krichels
At the Annual Conference of the National Association of Social Workers, Maine Chapter, held this spring, a very active KidsPeace associate was recognized for his great work with our kids. Hans Krichels is the director of KidsGiveBack and a counselor at the KidsPeace National Centers of Maine in Graham Lake. He has spent many years getting the children of KidsPeace Maine involved in community service and making huge contributions of hard work and time to several worthy causes.
Hans was presented with the 2008 Citizen of the Year Award by the association and made a speech thanking the organization, the community of Ellsworth, KidsPeace and especially the children who give of themselves so willingly to improve the appearance and resources of the area. In 2008, 48 KidsPeace children logged 999 hours of community service under Hans' enthusiastic leadership. From clearing brush in the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust to conducting animal tracking surveys to helping at the Ellsworth Library to painting the exterior of the Woodlawn Museum to creating a camping/picnic area on the shores of Graham Lake, no task is too big for Hans and his crew of hard-working kids.
Congratulations to Hans and to all of the children at the KidsPeace Maine campus for their great effort and sense of community.
