What I love about this palette is that it contains a good mix of neutral and brighter, more attention-getting shadows. I also like that there are no truly nightmarish glitter shadows. Some of the shadows are glittery but fallout is minimal. I would use this more, however, if it had come in a less awkward container. The package might be pretty if I ever finish the shadows and empty it but till then, it's just bulky and poorly designed for its purpose.

This month, McFarlane Toys is bringing the newest member of the Minnesota Vikings to a store near you. We are happy to announce a surprise addition to our fall football action figure lineup, Brett Favre.
With Favre's move to Minnesota this season, we all here at McFarlane Toys thought it was the obvious choice to include a new figure featuring Favre in his new Minnesota Vikings uniform. Due to the timing, we were unfortunately unable to incorporate this figure directly into our current lineups, so we decided to release it on its own, to select retailers.
Feast your eyes on both Brett Favre figures heading to a retailer near you this month.
>> BRETT FAVRE - Minnesota Vikings "home" (purple) jersey (Toys 'R' Us and Specialty Stores)
>> BRETT FAVRE - Minnesota Vikings "away" (white) jersey (BigBoyzToyz.com Exclusive)

My buddy has a tee-shirt that says, "Don't worry... I'm a professional".
The funny part of this being his shirt, was this was the guy I hired to take about a half inch off of the bottom of a nearly 100 year old cast iron radiator. We had to have it removed, because we had just remodeled and the floor had a new layer on top of the old, so the radiator wouldn't have connected with the pipe coming through the floor anymore. He took it off, by getting a hold of a grinder, which had to have the guard removed to fit the large concrete cutting disc in, and he held the grinder to each of the individual feet of the radiator. He was blasting himself with metal dust and debris (not even wearing eye protection or a breathing mask), and he told me later that he felt like he had blood in his mouth, because of the taste of the metal he kept sneezing out of his face and choking on the rest of the night.
He got the job done. Although I wanted to take a video of it at the time and put it on utube as "the WRONG way" to do something. If he slipped an inch, his thumb would have been grinded off within tenths of a second. He had to press down the safety switch on the grinder to get it to go, which was seriously less than 2 inches from the grinding blade.
He has another teeshirt that says, "Ted Kennedy has killed more people with his car than I have with my gun."

By Justin Skelnik | Photo contributions by Ross Dettman and Arturs Kulda
Chicago Wolves defenseman Arturs Kulda has been on the move since he was 15 years old.
Right before he celebrated his 16th birthday, Kulda left his hometown of Riga, Latvia, to play hockey for CSKA-2, a Russian junior team in Moscow. Two years later, he found himself in Peterborough, Ontario, playing for the Ontario Hockey League's Petes. After two seasons in Peterborough, Kulda packed up once again and headed for Chicago, where he has remained since the spring of 2008.
Living in four countries in six years would be hard on any kid, but to do it alone, away from family and friends, is something Kulda admits was difficult and took a while to get used to.
"I left home right before I turned 16 and since then I have been living by myself, away from my family," said Kulda. "I spent two years in Moscow, two years in Canada and now two years here in Chicago. It is a long time to be away from home. I remember it was hard, when I first got to Moscow and when I first got to Canada. Right now, I am kind of used to it."
Even though the now 21-year-old has been away from home for all those years, he never has lost contact with everyone back in Latvia, which has helped his transition. The time difference makes it difficult to just pick up a phone and call home, so he uses the Internet to remain in contact with his friends and family.
"The Internet is a great tool for me," he said. "You can't always call or text, but the Internet is always there and is the easiest way to talk to people back home. When I have time, I will call my parents, but I am always talking to them online."
His parents also use the Internet to watch him play. His mom wakes up in the middle of night every time the Wolves play to watch his games. His dad watches him play too, but does so for more than just enjoyment.
"I don't think he has missed any games, going back to when I played in Russia," said Kulda. "He knows me better than anyone else, so during games he is looking for things I can improve on. He gives me a lot of advice about hockey and about life, especially since I turned pro, so I try to take what he tells me and I try to work on that."
Kulda admits that he wasn't really comfortable on or off the ice during his first professional season last year, but is using it as a learning tool to help make him more at ease this season.
"Every day I am gaining more experience as a hockey player and as a person," he said. "In hockey, I am getting more ice time this season compared to last year, and that is definitely helping me get better as a player.
"Off the ice, even living by myself is getting better. Last year, it was kind of like I didn't know what to cook, I didn't know what to do with my free time. This year I know what to do when I am not playing hockey. It is just getting easier each day."
Wolves General Manager Wendell Young has noticed a big change in Kulda both as a player and a person this year. Young, who was behind the Wolves bench as an assistant coach last season, attributes those changes to Kulda's character and work ethic.
"He has absolutely settled down since last season," said Young. "The thing with young kids in the minors is that they all have to mature, not just on the ice, but off it as well and I think that they go hand-in-hand in the development of a player.
"With Kulda, he went through all of that and then some when you throw in the language barrier he faced. It was tough for him to get acclimated last year. This season, I have really seen him grow. Off the ice, I think he finally feels like he is just one of the guys. On it, I see him slowly working to become one of the leaders on the blue line and I think that attests to his character and the hard work he puts in every time he steps on the ice."
His development as a defenseman also has been helped by the arrival of Chris Chelios. Since Chelios' signing in October, Kulda has tried to soak up all the knowledge the 25-year National Hockey League veteran has to offer. It helps that Kulda and Chelios' stalls are next to each other in the locker room at the Wolves practice facility in Hoffman Estates, where Kulda can learn from the future Hall-of-Famer even when they aren't practicing.
{gallery}/breakaway/0910/kulda:::1:0:{/gallery}However, it has been since the two of them became a regular defensive pairing in the middle of December that he has learned the most. When asked about playing with Chelios, Kulda could only find a few words to describe it.
"It's pretty cool," Kulda said with a smile. "He is so experienced and he sees everything and knows everything when we are on the ice together. He is always teaching me things and giving me advice on what I should do on certain plays and how to play in certain situations. He is really helping me as a player."
Even though Kulda is having a solid sophomore campaign – as of press time he is leading the American Hockey League with a +29 plus/minus rating and is one point shy of matching his point total from last year - he knows that he is still developing and has room to grow everyday. He takes any advice he can get when it comes to hockey, whether it is from coaches, players, or his parents and works on those things in order to continue to get better.
"I still need to work on everything," Kulda proclaimed. "There is never a thing that I can't improve on as a player. We are human. You can never be perfect, so I just try to work on everything to be close to perfect."
With Kulda's play continuing to improve, it will only be a matter of time before he has to move yet again to another new city. But if it is for the opportunity to play in the NHL, he will gladly make the trek.
"If that happens, it happens," said Kulda. "Right now, I am just enjoying my time here playing in Chicago and enjoying my time with the guys."

Freelander problems are infinite
ybkite Posts: 1Are the newer diesel Freelanders,( new engine? ),specifically 2012 models, better for reliability than the old, which seem to have had many problems?
lrisch Posts: 1I am in desperate need of help trying to resovle a 2002 Landrover Freelander issue. I purchased this car used from Peddy's Auto Center in Roseville, Ca in March 2012. It has 92,000 miles on it. The warranty has been used up. I can't seem to get it fixed---the service engine soon light will not turn off. I paid 6,996.00 for the car and upwards of 2200 to get it fixed, and it is still not fixed. Do you think you can help me settle something with LandRover? I need a reliable car. I am high school teacher, don't have tons of money, and I need some help; mechanics and LandRover has not been helpful at all.
I baught a 2003 Freelander and owned it for one night. At first I thought I baught it for a song (Only 68,000 miles and very very clean), and felt as if I was a part of some elite club of range rover owners, and pictured long road trips in the back country in the expanse of the great north west. Then I got home showed my wife my prize, and she instantly went to the computer and started looking at reviews. I thought there would be nothing but glowing reviews with all the comfort and warmth of reading a wonderful bed time story to my children about kittens, puppies sunshine and rainbows. Rather it was like reading the scariest Steven King novel that keeps you up all night and staring at the closed closet door expecting the boogy man. I rushed my booby prize back to the dealer the next day, and came up with some heart breaking tale about how my wife hated it so much, and I would take a more expensive Jeep off the lot so he would get a bit extra. Well when it was said and done the bit extra cost me around 310.00 dollars. By the accounts of these reviews a small sum when I see the price of repairs of the Free Lander (SUV from Hell). Well the reviews on a Jeep Liberty one year older are much more glowing, there are the few unhappy reports but they get lost amoung all the glowing ones. I feel very lucky to be out and free of this nightmare of wondering not if but when the Free Lander was going to break down, since it was just at the 68,000 mile mark, and the problems are too countless to sum up when the mileage is that high. I feel so bad for all your situations , but thank you for posting and I feel saving me from a head ache that I could definately not afford. If you have to buy a car buy American, If you cant find an American car find another way to get an American car if you cant find a good American car Buy a Toyota. Thank you all so much again.
"so it is a bit fiddly to own a freelander and just like any britsh car there rubbish but off road you are hard pressed to find something that can do the same job as this truck." So I ask you with all these problems which is better breaking down on the highway, or miles and miles back on some wilderness road on a very cold late fall day? Unrealiable on a city road or highway is unacceptable, unrealiable in the wilderness could be deadly.
yvonneb1 Posts: 3Congratulations on getting rid of your freelander so quickly. You probably saved yourself a small fortune and a lot of heartbreak. LandRover won't give you more than 3500.00 for your freelander regardless of how new it is.
The freelander is a lemon. My LandRover shop even admitted that when I started having problems with my vehicle.
My only satisfaction is that I can share my story and have actually stopped a few people from purchasing a LandRover .
Good luck with your new vehicle.
I am truly sorry to hear about your situation. Thank you so much for speaking up, and saving others the time and money and heart ache on one of these lemons. I feel there should be some kind of support group for you all. I can see it now a bunch of Land Rover Freelander owners sitting on a circle of folding chairs in some old church. Where old coffee is served, and doughnuts in a box passed around, while story after story of how this peice of metal has ruined so many lives, shattered so many dreams, and emptied so many bank accounts, only to be intrupted by the occasional cough or hushed cry. Its so sad to see a company not take accountability for their products. My wife just got here dream car a 2012 Chevy Travrese LT, she did a lot of research before purchase. The customer service from Chevy is the best I have experienced. Free oil changes, tire rotations, and realignment for the life of the car. The salsman gave us his phone number and we only had to dail it once to let him know our new car had no floor mats. He told us that that model did not come with floor mats, but to come in and he would have them for us anyway. My fun car the Corvette I just got it used 2001 from the Chevey dealer (different dealer) it had an issue with the air conditioning, and they set up an appointment to get it fixed at their cost, they call twice a week to make sure everything is ok as well. The Jeep I got in return for the Land Rover FREELOADER as it has been called, well the jury is still out on that one because I just got it today but by the looks of these posts I feel a lot more secure with the Jeep. I would say see the Chevy dealer in your area tell him or her your story and see what they will do. They got us out of the worst car my wife and I owned the Nissian Versa. We still owed 6700.00 on that crappy car and they gave us 10,000 in trade for it. I could go on about the Versa and how parts just seem to fall off that new car but talking to a FREELOADER owner my story will be pale in comparison. I really wish you the best of luck, and I hope things get better for you. Take care and God Bless.
jgaleno Posts: 1just convert your freelander to rear wheel drive use a 4.1 chevy engine and transmission with a custom made drive shaft from a trailblazer or gmc jimmy and do all the necessary adaptations and get rid of the problem will be cheaper but you need a good mechanic not just a parts changer
myreason Posts: 1I wish I could get rid of mine so quickly I've be trying to sell it no luck, and trade it the price they offering me is less than what I spent on the tires. I bought it in 2008 with 60,000 miles and a month after I spent a $1000 to fix it. From then to now every 2 to 3 weeks I am fixing something on the engine. I lost count of the amount of money I've spent, but I can tell you it's way more than the price. Please don't buy any land rover products anymore and the world will be a safe place.
jeebo Posts: 1I purchased one of these gems in 2010 with 60k miles on it. At 93,000 the temp gauge was pegging at max and I could not keep antifreeze levels up. Took it into my mechanic and he gave me the grave news. I now have the dreaded driveway blocker that I cannot trust to drive, and cannot afford to fix (or replace the engine). Does anyone know of any relief from the LR people for this lemon?
Did you ever get an answer from landrover. Ours has been sitting in the garage for three years!
Did you ever get a resolution to this? I have had dozens of mechanics tell me this is a horrible vehicle....and expensive to fix. Can you imagine why anyone would want to own another?
huito Posts: 1Any suggestions on some Chinese engines, those might work better than this kv6 junk.

The brake lights sometimes work and sometimes do not work (cited in 2 incidents by the Police). All parts are fine (by check-up of a repair workshop), and no repair can be possibly done. Probably, the height of the brake lights above the ground is too low, so that it is sometimes too damp or wet (after snow or rain) for the brake lights to work properly. When they dry up, they work again.
Next, the 2 brake lights are on the 2 corners of the bumper, and the central brake light is high on the tailgate. Theoretically, the 3 brake lights give warning enough when the car stops. However, there are 2 tail lights are high on the fenders (the 2 sides of the car's tailgate), relatively far away from the 2 brake lights on the bumper. The 2 tail lights give a wrong impression to any drivers behind this car, and let those drivers misunderstand the tail lights to be the brake lights (even the 2 police officers misunderstood in the 2 incidents). This will cause collision in reality.

Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — James McDonald pitched six dominant inning and Gaby Sanchez hit a tiebreaking two-run home run Saturday night to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
In quite a contrast to his previous start, McDonald (2-2) struck out nine while allowing only one run on two hits. McDonald was tagged for eight runs in 1⅔ innings on Monday in a loss to St. Louis.
Sanchez's first home run of the season broke a 1-1 tie and capped a three-run sixth. Paul Maholm (3-1) carried a two-hit shutout into the inning and had not allowed a run in 25⅓ innings this season.
Atlanta (13-4), which has the best record in the major leagues, lost consecutive games for the first this season. It also marked the first time the Braves lost a game in which they had scored.
The Pirates' Starling Marte opened the decisive sixth by drawing a walk then was bunted to second by Jose Tabata. Andrew McCutchen then drove in Marte to tie it with a double off the right-field wall on a night when fans received a bobblehead doll of the All-Star center fielder.
Sanchez followed by a driving a 1-2 pitch to center field to put the Pirates ahead.
McCutchen and Sanchez each had two hits.
Jason Grilli pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to stay perfect in save opportunities at 6-for-6.
McDonald issued four walks and three came in the second inning when he allowed his only run.
He hit Evan Gattis with a pitch to start the inning and the Braves then loaded the bases on Chris Johnson's double and a walk to Dan Uggla. One out later, Andrelton Simmons walked to force home Gattis.
McDonald bounced back to strike out Maholm and B.J. Upton to end the inning. The right-hander struck out the side in the first inning, setting down B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Justin Upton on 13 pitches.
Johnson had two of the Braves' four hits and hitting .467 (21-for-45) in his last 11 games.
Pittsburgh (9-8) won for the sixth time in eight games and got above .500 for the first time.
Uggla left the game in the middle of the fourth inning with a strained left calf. The Braves also placed Blake DeWitt on the 15-day disabled list with a strained lower back and recalled RHP David Carpenter from Class AAA Gwinnett.

KidsPeace Vineland, NJ, Foster Care Office Seeking Foster ParentsKidsPeace Foster Care and Community Programs opened a new office in Southern New Jersey in late January 2009. The FCCP office is located in the town of Vineland in Cumberland County, New Jersey. The Vineland office places foster children in treatment homes not only in Cumberland County but also Atlantic, Cape May, Gloucester, and Salem Counties.The office is in a rural area of Vineland between Atlantic and Cumberland counties and is surrounded by farmland and woods. There is a middle school near by, and the downtown area is only fifteen minutes away. The Vineland office employs one Family Resource Specialist and will soon be hiring a casework supervisor and a part time nurse. The Vineland program is working closely with KidsPeace Orchard Hills Campus to try to find appropriate homes for children from South Jersey who have been placed in KidsPeace residential treatment. The hope is that children can return to their home communities as quickly as possible. In particular, our Family Resource Specialist, Deborah Bontcue, is currently working hard to place two children from our main campus in Pennsylvania who have been referred for placement to the Vineland Office. One child is a fifteen-year-old African-American female who enjoys singing, dancing, and watching Disney movies. She is looking for a forever family to talk with her, go shopping and have fun together. There is a family that has been matched with her, and they are currently waiting to be licensed by the State. The other child who is in need of a treatment home placement is an eighteen-year-old male who enjoys arts and crafts and helping others and is very warm and kind.The Vineland FCCP continues to look for loving, nurturing and patient families to care for older children with therapeutic needs in South Jersey. The program is not only looking for families for children from our main campus in Pennsylvania, but also for the many children in foster care in South Jersey who are looking to have a family to call their own. If you are interested in getting more information or know someone who would be a fabulous treatment parent, please contact the KidsPeace FCCP Vineland Program: 345 N. Lincoln Avenue Ste. A2, Box 12 Vineland, NJ 08361 856-794-9950 856-794-9953 (fax)
June 22nd was a beautiful day in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, and 159 community members, business people and KidsPeace associates came out to play golf and support the KidsPeace Children's Fund. This was the tournament's 24th year, and the number of golfers broke all records. The event was held at the Lehigh Country Club, and the accommodations were wonderful. Golfers were served lunch and dinner and had the opportunity to bid on great items in the silent auction. Awards were given out during the dinner that followed. Congratulations to the winning foursome of Nicholas Lukow, Michael Bednar, Wayne Sigler and Patrick McNealis. The event raised $104,000 for the KidsPeace Children's Fund, which will be used to purchase items directly for our kids. Thanks to all who participated, the many volunteers who helped before and during the tournament and to the many local businesses that sponsored various aspects of the tournament and kindly donated time and funds to the cause. Our 25th annual tournament promises to be filled with surprises and special recognition of the many people who have helped this event be successful for a quarter century.
Teacher Meta Cadugan from the CDTRC School on our Bethlehem, PA, Campus got her students involved in "Pennies for Peace" by having them read Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortenson. They also watched videos on the organization's Web site and became excited about helping children on the other side of the world. The students of classroom 209 organized their campaign to collect pennies for schools and supplies for children in Pakistan and Afghanistan who have little opportunity for education. The KidsPeace students decorated coffee cans and made posters to encourage other students and staff members to contribute to their cause and also conducted research into the education systems in the two countries. They learned that girls in those countries are often not able to attend school, but that Pennies for Peace worked hard to educate both girls and boys. They also learned that a penny can purchase a pencil in those countries, and $20 can pay for a child's school supplies for a full year. During the month of May, each classroom collected pennies for the campaign, which is directed by the Central Asia Institute. Since 1996, the institute has built nearly 100 schools that teach 14,000 boys and 14,000 girls. Classroom 203 collected the greatest number of pennies, and the school raised $80 in total. This project turned out to cross over from a social studies lesson to a math class when the students had to count out and roll all of the pennies. The pennies were exchanged for a check at the business office, and the children sent the check off to Pennies for Peace. It was a source of great pride for the students.
This was written by a former KidsPeace foster child whom we will call Jenn.
I remember dangling by my seatbelt dazed and confused. It was about 9pm on a very cold and dark winter's night. I hung there for a second trying to figure out exactly what just happened. I knew I shouldn't have gotten in the truck. She reeked of alcohol, and her eyes were glazed over. I even waited a second thinking to myself I really shouldn't get in the car, but how is this different from any other day? I got in and pulled my seatbelt tight, I even looked over to make sure she had hers on. After 10 minutes, I could tell this time I might not be so lucky, and I was right. I climbed out of the truck now lying on its side and stared at a pile of snow in the drivers seat suffocating my mother. The next house was 300 yards away, and there wasn't a car in sight. I had a decision to make: leave her, risking her suffocation and get help or dig her out myself. I don't know what drove me to dig her out. She almost killed me! But I did and after many empty apologies from my mother, an ambulance arrived to take me to the ER for an evaluation. On arrival [to the ER], I was greeted by a police officer to whom I told my story. I was very honest. I told him everything, hoping that this was finally my way out of the unwholesome life I now lived. Someone was going to see that living with my mother was not a good idea. This was the moment I was waiting for. It was my way out, or so I thought. The moment passed, but that was all it was ... a moment. Nothing ever came of our discussion.Eventually, my home life became worse. My mother was seeing a man who became physically and emotionally abusive towards me. I became depressed, and the idea of school just didn't sit with me. I just didn't have the energy to get myself out of bed and onto the bus. I was eventually put on pins and appointed a legal guardian whom I soon after asked how I could get out of my mother's house and into somewhere better. Not long afterwards, I was to be placed into foster care. I was back and forth with the idea. My older sister was placed and had always complained about how things were done. I figured anywhere had to be better than home. I went through several foster homes. The first one didn't work, the second did for a little while, the third nope, the fourth nope again. I almost gave up hope. Wasn't foster care supposed to put some stability in my life? I did try to look at the bright side though. I had 3 meals a day, a house with heat, electricity and water. Sometimes I even had Internet and cable, so it wasn't all that bad. I was missing one thing though … Love. Out of all the foster homes, I never felt like any of the foster parent truly loved or cared about me. I wanted someone to praise me when I did well in school, care when I got sick or cried, and someone to tell me that when I grow up I'm going to be something. For a long time I never thought I'd have that. In November of 2004, that would all change. After once again getting taken out of a foster home because of my behavior, I was to temporarily stay with a family until KidsPeace could find me another. I could have cared less because nothing seemed to work out in my life anyway. When I talked to these people I was going to stay with, they seemed to be on the guard. I thought, "Oh great, they've already judged me." But after a couple days, it changed. I saw something different in them, and I think they saw something in me too. Soon after, I was told that they were to be my new foster parents. I was ecstatic but of course I wasn't going to let anyone know that. I really grew to like my new foster parents. One thing I really liked was, when I asked them what I should call them, they responded "Mom and Dad." It made me feel a part of the family. They were by far the best foster parents I had had, but I wasn't about to get my hopes up. It was only a matter of time before I got mad and did something wrong or stupid. I stayed with one set of foster parents for year, and then they gave up on me. What makes Mom and Dad so different? I was by no means the perfect foster child, which they would soon figure out. I yelled, I screamed, I cussed, I threw stuff, broke stuff, skipped numerous days of school, snuck out of the house, put holes in their walls; I even copied dads key and took his car for a joyride.
I insulted them, their family and even their pets. Yet I didn't go anywhere. I figured that, at any moment, they would call up my caseworker and say "take her, we can't take it anymore, she's just too much," but they never did. I put them through a year and a half of "hell," and they didn't give up on me. I finally found what I was I was hoping for. Parents who didn't think of me as a something they could just throw away when I became a burden. I, to them, was just another one of their kids, and, when I did finally realize this, I couldn't have been happier.My caseworkers got it just as bad. I insulted and ignored them. I went through several of them, all of whom I liked (don't tell them that). I was at a point in my life where I just couldn't see how someone like them could understand what I was going through. There were many visits where I simply acted as if they weren't there. Why would I want to talk to them? How could they possibly understand? On several occasions I even snuck out of my bedroom window while they sat waiting in the living room for me. As badly as I treated them, though, I can honestly say that they didn't give up either. They were determined to show me they cared and could help. I was just too bullheaded at the time to realize it. I left foster care at the age of nineteen. I was determined to take on the world and leave the shackles of my past behind. When I left though, I didn't leave empty handed. I left with a new family. Wilma and Vince, a.k.a. Mom and Dad to this day are still there if I ever need them. Whenever I pick up the phone, they are both there waiting on the other end to answer. They are there to give me advice, teach me new things, feed me when I'm poor and sometimes even house me.Another part of the family is KidsPeace. On my rare visits to see them, I've never been turned away or made to feel uncomfortable. They welcome me with open arms and a smile every time. I can walk into the office and ask to use them for a reference or a letter of recommendation, and I've never been denied.You could have asked me 5 years ago "What do you like about foster care?" and I would have looked you dead in the eye and said very sarcastically,"I don't know what is so great about foster care." But I stand before you now, older and wiser, and I ask what is not great about foster care?" If it wasn't for foster, I don't believe I'd be where I am now. I'm eternally grateful and hope that the kids in foster now realize how great they have it. I would give anything to go back and do it all over again.
For over a year, there have been detours that made it challenging to drive to the KidsPeace Orchard Hills Campus in Orefield, PA. KidsPeace is happy to announce that the construction on Route 309 and Old Packhouse Road has been completed, and access to the campus is now direct and smooth. There is now a traffic light at the intersection of Old Packhouse Road and Route 309, and Old Packhouse Road is wider, smoother and less curvy. With the detour removed, visitors to KidsPeace have a shorter drive with much less traffic.
This is just one more reason for customers who have been planning to visit KidsPeace to schedule their visits now. Our Client Services Liaisons will be happy to take you on a tour of our facilities and give you the opportunity to speak with our clinical and educational staff members as you travel from unit to unit. The new road will also make it easier for parents to visit their children at KidsPeace and make driving in bad weather safer overall. Please schedule a visit by calling 800-8KID-123 and asking for a Client Services Liaison.
Jenny*, a twelve-year-old foster client of the South Bend, Indiana, office, had the desire to help other children who have been in her situation. Jenny had the idea of having a donation drive at her middle school. She approached her teacher, Ms. James*, as well as her KidsPeace Family Consultant, Cory Headley about her wonderful idea. After getting the reassurance needed from Cory, Jenny encouraged her fellow students to donate items such as hygiene products, school supplies, books and other supplies to KidsPeace in an effort to "help other foster kids like me," Jenny said. As an incentive to raise donations, Matt Fischer, Family Resource Specialist, obtained donations from Krispy Kreme and Pizza King to award the classroom raising the most items with a pizza and doughnut party. The winning classroom alone donated over 600 items for KidsPeace. The South Bend, Indiana, KidsPeace Office is very grateful to Jenny for all of her heart and dedication to seeing her goal come to life.

There was much media attention last week about a Bucks County, PA, woman who allegedly absconded with her 9 year old daughter, presumably used a co-worker's ID and money from an unknown source and called police stating that she and the child had been abducted. An "Amber Alert" had been issued for the daughter, and a nationwide search had begun for the mother and daughter. The pair was later found at Disney World in Florida, and the mother was taken into custody for identity theft and filing a false police report.
There has been much speculation about the woman's state of mind and the reason for her bizarre behavior, but little attention has been paid to the potential impact this event will have on the daughter who went along with her mother, presumably for a vacation to Orlando. KidsPeace Clinical Director Dr. Peter Langman says that this incident and the coverage it has had in the media has the potential to cause problems for the child. "A great deal depends on the maturity level this child has reached," Langman says. "It is unclear how much of this she understands and how much anxiety this causes her." Langman explained that the child may be confused and most likely does not understand the legal implications of what her mother has done. "A 9 year old child may not be mature enough to process the concepts of identity theft and false police reports and the consequences of these acts," according to Langman.
Langman explains that the child may not be able to internalize this information at her age, which would make it difficult for her to articulate in words what she is feeling. This could lead to acting out and an inability to put the incident behind her. Langman suggests that the child be watched carefully for changes in behavior. He says that the way her family responds to what has happened and the opportunities they give her to talk about it will directly affect how this young girl will come through this trauma.
Finally, the daughter's ability to deal with this event will depend a great deal on how the story is received by her schoolmates. "If her peers make fun of her or her mother's behavior, she may have a much harder time getting back to 'normal,'" Langman says. Some children may envy her noteriety and say unkind things to upset her. Her teachers will likely try to prevent other children from blowing this new-found fame out of proportion and from making the girl the center of attention and gossip. "If her friends and classmates rally around her, she will adjust much more easily and be able to put this incident behind her," Langman concludes.

USDA Establishes a New Category in Regulations Governing Nursery Stock Importation; Plants for Planting Not Authorized for Importation Pending Pest Risk Analysis
WASHINGTON, May 27, 2011 – With the publication today of a final rule, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is changing the way it regulates imports of nursery stock into the United States, also known as the Agency's Q37 regulations.
"Protecting the nation's food, agriculture and natural resources is one of the Secretary's top priorities," said Rebecca Bech, deputy administrator of APHIS' plant protection and quarantine program. "These regulatory changes, crafted with input from our stakeholder partners at the State and local levels, reflect this commitment and allow our Agency to better prevent the introduction and spread of foreign pests and diseases."
The previous regulations categorized imported plants as either prohibited (not allowed) or restricted (allowed under certain conditions). APHIS required restricted imports to be inspected, either in the country of origin or at the first port of entry, and be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the government of the exporting country.
The Agency, however, does not require a pest risk analysis prior to the importation of a new taxonomic group of plants. This differs from APHIS' fruits and vegetables regulations, where the importation of fruits and vegetables is prohibited until the completion of such an analysis.
Plants for planting can carry a wide variety of pests that are more likely to become established in the United States than pests that could enter through imported fruits or vegetables. The volume of plants being imported into the United States has continued to increase in recent years, as has the body of scientific information regarding emerging plant pests of concern. As a result, APHIS determined the Agency needed to update its regulations in order to better prevent the introduction and establishment of plant pests in the United States. These proposed changes to the regulations were made available for review and comment through a previous public notice.
Today's regulatory change establishes a new import category for plants whose importation is "not authorized pending pest risk analysis," also known as NAPPRA. Under the new rules, APHIS will publish a list of plants that it considers to be quarantine pests or hosts of quarantine pests. Such plants will not be allowed to be imported until we have completed a pest risk analysis. A "quarantine pest" is defined as a plant pest or noxious weed that is of potential economic importance and not yet present in the United States, or present but not widely distributed and under official control. The new regulations authorize APHIS to add taxa of plants for planting to the NAPPRA category based on scientific evidence that indicates that their importation poses a risk of introducing a quarantine pest into the United States. APHIS will request public comment through a public notice before adding any plants to the new NAPPRA category. The NAPPRA lists will be posted online.
Any person can request that APHIS conduct a pest risk analysis on any plant taxon listed in the NAPPRA category. After completing the analysis, APHIS will initiate rulemaking either to allow the importation of the taxon subject to restrictions, or, if the risk associated with the importation of the taxon cannot be feasibly mitigated, to prohibit its importation.
This action is published in today's May 27, 2011, Federal Register and becomes effective June 27, 2011.

HAZARD – A Leslie County man indicted on 20 counts of first-degree sexual abuse entered a plea on amended charges Thursday in Perry Circuit Court.
Jerry Joseph, 55, of Cutshin, will serve five years of unsupervised probation if the plea agreement is accepted. Joseph pleaded guilty in accordance with an Alford plea on 20 counts of second-degree criminal abuse, a Class D felony. An Alford plea means Joseph maintains his innocence in the case, but admits that a guilty plea, based on the evidence against him, is in his best interest.
Joseph was originally indicted in October 2011 on allegations that he subjected an underage female to sexual contact on 20 separate occasions from 2007 to January 2011. A superseding indictment returned in March added one count alleging prohibited use of an electronic system to procure minor, though Commonwealth's Attorney John Hansen noted on Thursday he will move to dismiss that charge at the time of sentencing.
Defense attorney David Johnson said he doesn't necessarily view the plea as a good one for his client, whom he described as an "innocent man" who became the victim of a girl who didn't like where she was living, and came up with allegations against his client in an attempt to get new arrangements.
Johnson added that the current jury panel, which convicted another of his clients in March on a count of first-degree rape, seems inclined to convict defendants based solely on testimony from alleged victims.
"You can't expect this jury to do the right thing," he said.
In accordance with the agreement announced on Thursday, Joseph will also be required to have no contact with the victim or her family. If he fails to meet the conditions of his probation, he could serve up to five years in prison.
Joseph is scheduled to appear in Perry Circuit Court for sentencing on June 25.
