World Vision's child sponsorship program has been part of my life for nearly two decades. My dad started working at World Vision when I was 9 years old. I've worked here for nearly five years now, and my husband and I sponsor three children of our own.
We love getting letters, drawings, photos, and progress reports from the children in our global family. And we love sending them cards, pictures, small packages, and the occasional extra gift.
But even as a staff person and a longtime child sponsor, I've still asked myself: What does sponsorship actually do? How does it actually work?
In putting this blog post together, I've learned that, in a nutshell, sponsorship connects you with a child in need and empowers the child's community to become healthy, safe, and self-reliant, breaking the cycle of poverty.
It's not a handout. It's more like a hand up. By helping to provide access to life essentials, we, as sponsors, don't just "give away" our money and cross our fingers. We actually help World Vision in giving the entire community of our sponsored child a "boost" up and out of poverty.
In order for children to experience life in all its fullness, they must have reliable access to all of the essentials for life: clean water, a secure source of food, healthcare, education, etc. That's why World Vision takes an integrated approach to helping our sponsored children's communities become whole, because each piece of this puzzle intertwines with the others.

Clean water: This is often where our work starts. Simply providing access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene can cut a community's child death rate by more than half.
Food security: We help farming families learn better crop cultivation and food storage techniques, provide essentials like seeds and tools, and distribute food aid to help make sure that children get the nutrition they need.
Health care: We help to make basic health care accessible by stocking health clinic shelves with medicine, training parents and health workers to treat illness, and coordinating HIV-prevention education and care for those affected by HIV and AIDS.

Theologically this group should be considered a cult of Christianity. Sociologically this organization has cult-like characteristics as well. (Note the difference between theological and sociological definitions of the term 'cult.')
Is the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps a religious cult? Are members harboring weapons, recruiting and brainwashing children - things they were accused of doing when their headquarters were in California? Or are the self-proclaimed ''Soldiers of God'' simply people who practice their religious freedom, bake and sell bread and insist on privacy?
Current group members aren't offering any clues, but El Pasoan Bob Heddon, 65, remembers why he beat a hasty retreat after joining the Berino group seven months ago. Heddon, still recovering emotionally from the death of his wife, was looking for Christian fellowship and Bible study. What he found in Berino was something quite different.
Group members wore black uniforms with berets, saluted and addressed each other by military titles.
''There wasn't a Bible in sight,'' Heddon said. ''They had sort of holy roller-type prayer meetings in the mornings and in the evenings where everyone rolled around on the floor and talked in tongues.''
No televisions, no radios, no children's toys were in sight at the schoolhouse, Heddon said. The bottom floor was a huge kitchen, where ''soldiers'' baked hundreds of loaves of bread every morning.
The upper floor was full of Wisdom's Cry, a tabloid newspaper published and mostly written by the group's leaders.
Several attempts by the El Paso Times to contact the group by telephone, personal visits and certified mail were unsuccessful. On one occasion, a group member fled into the building when a reporter approached - then declined to answer the door.
Neighbors said they had no idea how many people live in the schoolhouse or whether there are any children there. Heddon estimated 10 to 12 people lived there seven months ago, most of them adults, a few in their teens. Eight years ago, the group had 25 to 30 members in Sacramento, California, according to news reports.
The group's leaders, Deborah and Jim Green, call themselves ''generals.'' They wrote and published a tabloid newspaper called The Battle Cry in Sacramento, and now publish Wisdom's Cry in Berino. Distributed free by group members and through the mail, the newspaper criticizes other religions, forecasts impending doom for mankind and calls upon group members, God's chosen ''soldiers,'' to carry on.
Critic casts doubt on mission
The Greens are intelligent, crafty people who have become adept at controlling others, said Robert Blasier, a Sacramento lawyer. He said he has represented parents of several group members. Today, he is part of the defense team at the O.J. Simpson trial in Los Angeles.
Deborah Green, who went by the name Lila Green in Sacramento, is especially convincing, Blasier said.
''Lila Green is the real power behind the group,'' he said. ''She's one of those people you look in the eyes and you feel real strange - a Charlie Manson type.''
In the El Paso-Las Cruces area, the group's only obvious contacts with the public are through its publications and when members go out into communities to sell bread. If it weren't for its past, the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps might be described as a group of model Berino citizens minding its own business.
Ministry history
In 10 years, the ministry has lived in five different compounds in three states and has changed its name at least three times.
In Sacramento, parents picketed the group's headquarters in the 1980s, claiming children were being recruited and brainwashed, according to a new account in the Sacramento Bee. In 1989, the ministry lost a $1 million lawsuit by default to a former member who said she was brainwashed, imprisoned and forced to divorce her husband and surrender legal custody of her four children. The group called itself Free Love Ministries then, and sometimes the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps in its newspaper.
Near Cool, Calif., and at another northern California compound, the group was accused of conducting militaristic training exercises after it was forced to abandon its headquarters in Sacramento. There, the group called itself Free Land Mountain for a while, Blasier said.
In Klamath Falls, Ore., residents were so suspicious of the group that they refused to eat at its restaurant, effectively banishing it from the town in 1992. ''They called themselves the Aggressive Christian Ministry Oregon,'' said Sue Todd, a local church member. ''The girls all wore blue skirts, knee-high socks and red or maroon sweaters. Some had babies. The community pretty much ignored them. They bought a couple houses - left them in shambles.''
Today, in Berino and at another group compound near Gallup, N.M., neighbors are curious, even though there has been no trouble, no reports of weapons and no obvious recruiting activities.
Horror stories
''It's a mental prison. They tore apart my life,'' said Maura Schmierer of Sacramento. She joined the group in 1982 when its headquarters were in Sacramento. ''They made me give up my children, told all kinds of lies about me . . . made my husband think I was a witch.''
Schmierer left the group, then called Free Love Ministries, in 1987. She filed a $20 million lawsuit alleging she was forced to divorce her husband and surrender legal custody of her four children. Her lawsuit also accused the group of holding her captive in a 5-by-12- foot wooden shed with a low ceiling that prevented her from standing upright.
''They claimed that God had judged me, so they excommunicated me and put me in a shed in the basement,'' Schmierer, now 47, said.
A year later she was awarded a $1 million default judgment against the Greens, the ministry and other group leaders. She regained custody of her two youngest children, but two others remained in the group with their father, she said.
Schmierer said her daughter, Rebecca, 26, returned home five years ago. Her son Nathaniel, 19, left the Gallup, N.M. compound in the middle of the night and came home six months ago. Her ex-husband, Steven Schmierer, is still with the group in Gallup but has changed his name, she said.
Maura Schmierer said her son Nathaniel had been with the group about 13 years, moving with it from California to Oregon and finally to the group's compound in Gallup. After he returned home to Sacramento, he estimated there were a total of about 30 people in the group's compounds at Berino and Gallup. Many of the group members he described, she said, ''are the same ones as when I was there nine years ago.''
Blasier represented Schmierer in the lawsuit. He said no one from Free Love Ministries showed up in court to contest it. As part of the judgement, the court seized the group's four houses and three small art stores. A lien also was acquired on the group's properties near Cool, in northern California.
All the properties were found vandalized after the group left them, he said.
Former group members said the Greens consider themselves prophets, chosen people who hear messages directly from God.
''They separate themselves from the world, believing the world is evil,'' Maura Schmierer said. ''They have some Christian principles, but they totally take Scripture out of context - far out in left field. They've made statements like every other church in America is going to hell.''
Searching for answers
Newcomers to the group often are people who are spiritually lost, looking for answers or help, said Doug Shearer, senior pastor at New Hope Christian Fellowship in Sacramento. He said his church has helped several refugees from the Aggressive Christianity Missions Corps get their lives back together.
''They're forced out of marriages, away from children. It's a wretched thing,'' Shearer said. ''And these types of organizations tend to get worse over time. They tend to develop a paranoia, a persecution complex.''
Blasier, who said he has helped at least 10 families try to retrieve children from the group, said the ministry's control techniques were typical of cult-type brainwashing. New members are forced to divorce themselves from the past, destroy mementos and photos, and reject all family ties. He said group members also are deprived of sleep, which induces a state of submission in many people, according to cult researchers.

The name, Free Love Ministries, seems wrong.
It suggests a remnant from the 1960's: latter-day flower children teaching peace and universal brotherhood. In fact, the dozen or so people who live at "the camp," four communal houses on X and 22nd Streets in Sacramento that make up the ministry's base, see themselves as warriors doing battle daily with the world and all its demons.
And battle is the right imagery. Jim Green, the ministry's leader, fills his monthly publication, "Battle Cry: Aggressive Christianity," with illustrations of swords, soldiers, knights in armor, battlements, grotesque demons, devils, lists of feared black arts and a barrage of scenes of violence and confrontation.
Green, who does not think his lack of any theological training limits him in his role as spiritual leader, believes in a military approach to Christianity.
"If you want a nice family Church, this ministry is not the place," said Lila Green, his wife and colleague in the ministry. "God is going to send many of the soldiers we're training to the mission field."
Established in Sacramento two years ago, the group, which has at least 50 members, although Green refuses to give exact figures, has become a source of controversy recently after a Christian radio station declined to broadcast its programs because of their un-orthodox content. Some parents also have grown concerned about personality changes they say their children have undergone since joining the group.
The ministry's daily radio program, "Battle Cry," warns listeners to prepare for war as God calls up an army to do battle with Satanic forces, demons that promote everything from homosexuality to karate to psychoanalysis to fairy tales. As many as 6,000 demons can inhabit one person, a Battle Cry broadcast in may said.
The ministry's preoccupation with demons is what led KFIA, a Sacramento radio station that airs programs for a broad spectrum of fundamentalist Christian groups, to stop broadcasting Free Love Ministry's program recently. [...]
Fasting is as central as prayer in the ministry. Jim and Lila Green sometimes go on 30-day fasts, taking in nothing but water, and al members of the community, including the Greens' two youngsters fast.
Last fall the ministry asked its followers to fast 50 days, seven days on liquids only, seven on water only, seven on fruit juice only, 21 on a special bread and water, six days on fruits and two days on vegetables.
Casting out devils and healing the sick are staples of Green's revivalism. Prayer sessions in the large renovated basement room in the Green's house have the flavor of a tent meeting. Followers stretch their arms to the ceiling, babble in tongues, moan and cry out.
Both Jim and Lila preach. Lila, 37, a native Sacramentan who said she attended California State University, Sacramento, and worked at University Medical Center, is perhaps the more riveting speaker of the two.
"She's a hot preacher, a fantastic prayer warrior," her husband says.
Where the Greens are perhaps most at odds with their charismatic Christians is in their use of revelations.
The Greens maintain they have revelations from God routinely and that all of their actions - taking their family off to Latin American missions a few years back, settling in Sacramento and buying their houses - are directed by God.
Many of the more innocuous revelations are passed along to the faithful Battle Cry. In the July issue, Lila Green told how God spoke to her and gave her a recipe to prepare "travel bars," even specifying ingredients such as health-food store powdered mild and directions on wrapping the bars in aluminum foil. [...]
"I believe Jim Green is a Christian, but he's in great error and heading for destruction because of what he's into," said Viola Larson of Apologetics Resource Center, a local fundamentalist group that researches cults and aberrant Christian groups.
"He changes and adds into Christian doctrine. He teaches some things that have nothing to do with Christianity. His ministry is at the very far end of the Pentecostal movement. They're very legalistic and very scary."
Bur the Greens' most sustained and vicious attack is directed at the Roman Catholic Church, described as "Mother of Harlots and Abomination of the Earth" in ministry publications. Those articles usually are written by Alberto Muniz, who was raised a Catholic and had completed two years at the University of California, Davis, by last fall when he joined the ministry and began living at the "camp."
His parents, Terry and Bill Muniz of Pittsburgh, said they became worried when their once-sociable son, who used to read and travel widely and enjoy each theater, told them his only recreation now was reading the Bible and said the world would end soon.

According to Maura, members of the group were trained to surrender their free will. "We were taught to push any thought from our mind that was not something that the Greens would want," she says in the program.
Maura says and Rebekah worked from dawn to dusk in one of the picture framing stores controlled by the group. According to the documentary, members ended up giving most of their earnings back to the organization, to cover rent, food, and the required tithe of 10 percent.
Even so, Maura says she never considered leaving. "I was afraid that if I left I would go to hell," she explains in the documentary.
But Maura's problems worsened in 1987, when the group accused her of "spiritual adultery," which she says meant that she had placed something above God in her life. That something was her family. "They said that I idolized my children," she recalls.
As punishment, Maura says that she was exiled to a shed in the backyard of the group's compound, where she was given nothing but peanut butter sandwiches to eat and forced to work long hours chopping wood and doing other chores as penance. She was not allowed to have hot water to bathe. Her daughter Rebekah recalls: "They told us that we were not allowed to speak to her, that she was to wear a black scarf on her head and that we were to call her 'Forsaken.'"
Eventually, after six months of such treatment, Maura was kicked out of the community completely. "I was told that there was no hope for me," she recalls. "And so they put me out on the street with a box full of belongings." Rebekah was compelled to sign a letter denouncing her mother, which was then notarized.
Maura finally decided to fight back, filing a lawsuit against the group over her alleged mistreatment. In addition to being imprisoned, she claimed in the suit that she was tricked into agreeing to divorce her husband and give up legal custody of the three young children they had while she was in the group. In March 1989, according to this Sacramento Bee article, a judge awarded her a $1.02 million judgment, after the group's members refused to appear in court to contest the suit.
From the outset, Jim Green espoused two clearly un-biblical teachings. One teaching was the belief that Christians could have demons living inside of them. [...]
The second un-biblical teaching the group started with was the "Manifest Sons of God" teaching [also known as "Dominion" or "Kingdom Now" teachings]. As a result of this teaching, people committed to Aggressive Christianity are encouraged to become part of the "Man-Child Company" or the "Overcomers". Like many other groups involved in this teaching, they believe that an elite group of people will move out of the Church and overcome all the enemies of Christ including even death itself. This elite group will reach a point of sinless perfection through their total commitment to God, and they will function as a literal expression or extension of Christ on earth. This will include as yet unheard of miraculous power as well as acts of judgment such as calling down fire on God's enemies [who generally turn out to be those against the group].
Consistent with their adherence to the manifest Sons of God teaching, they also told a somewhat gnostic belief in three separate levels of Christianity; that is, that there are thirty-fold Christians (justification), sixty-fold Christians (santification), and hundred-fold Christians (glorification). Or alternately, as one long time member explained it, the thiry-fold Christians are those who are "merely" saved, sixty-fold Christians are those who speak in tongues and have the Baptism on the Holy Spirit, while hundred-fold Christians are the Overcomers, the Manifest Sons of God. And only those in this elite group are considered to be Sons of God and the Bride of Christ.
Thus, the two distinctive and foundational teachings on which the group bases its ministry end up demolishing the free gift of God's grace to sinners and resulting in works, bondage, and spiritual pride.
Every vision has a beginning. In 1979 James and Deborah Green entered the prayer closet and God was there. Speaking to them prophetically, He made it clear that He was raising up an army--His Spirit army. True, there had been other armies claiming the Lord's name, but this was something new. It was by the prophetic Word of the Lord that the Aggressive Vision came to be. Believing what God had said, the Generals took it to heart and began to give their lives so they could live their lives to fulfill the vision. True to His Word, after many years of seeking and sacrifice, determination and hard work, God has brought into existence an army. And that's just the beginning. Over the years God has expanded and embellished the vision, bringing others into the revelation as well, until today God's Holy Tribal Nation shines like a beacon on a high mountain, lifting others up and calling people around the world to give their lives in His service. Yes, God is raising up His army, an army of fearless, obedient disciples--The Army That Sheds No Blood! This is how the Aggressive Vision came to be. The Word of the Lord shall never fail!

New series of Hinterland announced
Posted: April 04, 2014|
The groundbreaking crime series Y Gwyll / Hinterland is set to return to our screens.
Broadcast partners S4C and BBC Cymru Wales have announced that production will begin in September on a new five-part series.
Richard Harrington will return to the role of DCI Tom Mathias when the series returns in early 2015.
Themove reunites Richard with the production team comprising co-creators Ed Talfan and Sansea's Ed Thomas, and Producer Gethin Scourfield.

Shooting will begin in Ceredigion in the autumn with the series again filmed back-to-back in Welsh and English. International Sales will be handled by distributors All3Media International.
Executive Producer Ed Thomas of Cardiff-based Fiction Factory said: "We are thrilled that S4C and BBC Cymru Wales have decided to continue on this exciting journey with us. We are also excited about the imminent screening of the first series on BBC Four. The project celebrates Welsh talent in a myriad of ways and we are really looking forward to shooting a new series."
S4C's Drama Commissioner, Gwawr Martha Lloyd added:
"From the beginning we knew that Y Gwyll/Hinterland was going to be a special project, and the series has certainly captured the imagination of viewers in Wales and beyond, and continues to do so as the series is broadcast on other Channels.
"It's fantastic to announce that Y Gwyll/Hinterland will return with a second series as we continue our co-production partnership with All3Media International, Tinopolis and of course, the creators at Fiction Factory.
"With BBC Cymru Wales also on board as co-production partners for this second series, the audience can look forward to a new series of Y Gwyll/Hinterland – which means more nail-biting, edge-of-seat suspense, more intrigue in that stunning Ceredigion setting, and more clues about the troubled mind of DCI Mathias, the man around whom this gripping series is based."
Adrian Davies, Head of English Language Programmes for BBC Cymru Wales said:"Hinterland broke new ground for BBC One Wales audiences with its authentic mix of bilingual dialogue along with its strong storylines and breath-taking scenery. And the overwhelming audience response to the first series was extremely positive."

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Rep. Brad King said he was glad that this year was a business-like one in the house of representatives at the state legislature. Afterall, it could be his last year serving the people of district 69.
"It's been a great pleasure to represent the people of my district for the last 12 years," he said on Tuesday. "Regardless of what happens in the future I've always been thankful for the support I have received from home."
King, who has filed for Sen. Mike Dmitrich's seat in the senate from district 29, knows that nothing is a sure thing and a return to the capitol in another capacity is a dream he has had, and now hopes to realize. But for this year he was satisfied with what the legislature did, based on the money projections they had to work with.
"This wasn't like many other election years I have seen on the hill," said King. "It was smooth. There were no crazy message bills; we balanced the budget and we dealt with what was really necessary to deal with."
The biggest surprise of the session was when the fiscal analysts proposed much lower tax revenues than were expected by most of the lawmakers, and because of that they had to adjust. In many, cases it meant many people didn't get what they wanted.
"With $340 million dollars less than what we anticipated we would have, the budget was a dilemma," said King. "We had to pare it down considerably. We had requests for three times the amount of money that we had to work with."
In education King says that the legislature gave an across the board raise to all teachers in the amount of $1700, plus a 2.5 percent increase in the weighted pupil unit which is used by the school districts to negotiate raises. The $1700 does not apply to administrators or classified personnel. The lawmakers also approved $20 million for school districts to use as they develop merit pay systems for teachers and another $5 million as signing bonuses for new teachers. The state has been having a hard time attracting and keeping new teachers because salaries in surrounding states have traditionally been higher.
In higher education, budget wise, each college got a 3 percent increase. Locally the College of Eastern Utah did get $600,000 to operate the Western Energy Training Center. And the legislature also directed the state board of regents to study the issue of mergers and partnerships amongst the states schools of higher education.
"In that bill, was specific language concerning the situation between Utah State and CEU," said King. "That language was probably in response to the proposed merger between the schools that was advanced in a bill that did not get voted on in either branch of the legislature this session."
While money was tighter than legislators thought it would be, the legislature also gave the Utah Department of Transportation $25 million to help with "choke points" on the state's highway system.
"Some of that money will apply to Highways 6 and 10, but of course more will go toward Interstate 15," stated King.
Last fall Governor Jon Huntsman said that health insurance and coverage for everyone in the state would be one of his big priorities this year. But with reduced money, much of that emphasis fell by the wayside when the legislature was actually able to deal with it.
"The beginnings of his program were initiated through the actions of the legislature this year," said King. "We passed a bill that allows self employed people to purchase health care insurance with pretax dollars. But a lot more needs to be done. Utah leads the nation in the number of employers who are dropping health care for their employees. A task force has been set up to concentrate on health care and its affordability, portability, quality and accessibility."
Recently the Utah Mine Safety Commission that was set up by the governor after the Crandall Canyon disaster released their findings and many of those suggested that the legislature do certain things.
"Very few of those recommendations were taken up, because of the amount of money available," stated King. "Other than the money to operate the WETC (which played a large part in the commission's recommendations) the legislature appropriated money for the state labor commission to work on the program and create a new working relationship with MSHA."
The legislature put up $280,000 to get started on implementing some of the commission's recommendations. Obviously, more appropriations will be needed later.
With 1,100 total bills set forth on the hill (a record number according to King) he felt the legislature did well considering the amount of money available. And this year he felt legislators were reasonable in their efforts.
"What tax cuts there were were balanced by increases in other areas. This was the first time in three years that there was no talk of tax cuts," concluded King.

3. "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Whitney's flawless performance at Super Bowl XXV in 1991 is without a doubt the definitive rendition of the national anthem. Arista Records was flooded with phone calls for days afterwards, prompting the company to release it as a single, with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross. Whitney was the first artist to make the national anthem a Top 10 hit and the first to take it to platinum. Whitney was already a star at this point, but this performance made her a legend.

Types of evaluation
Evaluation is a relatively new technical term, introduced to designate a more comprehensive concept of measurement than is implied in conventional tests and examinations. Monroe has distinguished between measurement and evaluation by indicating that the emphasis in measurement is upon single aspects of subject-matter achievement or specific skills and abilities, but that the emphasis in evaluation is upon broad personality changes and major objectives of an educational program evaluation involves the identification and formulation of a comprehensive range of the major objectives of a curriculum, their definition in terms of pupil behavior, and the selection or construction of valid, reliable, and practical instruments for appraising the specified phases of pupil behavior (pp. 404-5, 1950 edn).
1972, Malcolm Parlett and David Hamilton, Evaluation as illumination: a new approach to the study of innovatory programmes, reprinted in Hamilton et al., Beyond the Numbers Game, Macmillan, Basingstoke, 1977
within educational research two distinct paradigms can be discerned. Each has its own strategies, foci and assumptions. Dominant is the classical or agricultural-botany paradigm, which utilises a hypothetico-deductive methodology derived from experimental and mental-testing traditions in psychology More recently, a small number of empirical studies have been conceived and relate instead to social anthropology, psychiatry and participant observation research in sociology The most common form of agricultural-botany type evaluation is presented as an assessment of the effectiveness of an innovation by examining whether or not it has reached required standards of pre-specified criteria. Students rather like plant crops are given pre-tests and then submitted to different experiences Subsequently their attainment (growth or yield) is measured Studies of this kind are designed to yield data of one particular type, i.e. objective numerical data
illuminative evaluation takes account of the wider contexts in which educational programmes function. Its primary concern is with description and interpretation rather than measurement and prediction The aims are to study the innovatory programme: how it operates; how it is influenced by the variou9s school situations in which it is applied; what those directly concerned regard as its advantages and disadvantages; and how students intellectual tasks and academic experiences are most affected. It aims to discover and document what it is like to be participating in the scheme, whether as teacher or pupil Central to an understanding of illuminative evaluation are two concepts: the instructional system and the learning milieu (pp. 7-10).
1989, David Hopkins, Evaluation for School Development, Open University Press, Milton Keynes (reproducing approaches to evaluation described in 1986 by Bob Stake)
Formative-summative. The most pervading distinction is the one between evaluation done during the development of a programme and those done after the programme has been completed when the cook tastes the soup it is formative evaluation and when the guest tastes the soup it is summative
Formal-informal. Informal evaluation is a universal and abiding human act Formal evaluation is more oparationalized and open to view It is needed when the results are to be communicated elsewhere
Case particular-generalization. A most important distinction is between the study of a programme as a fixed and ultimate target, or the study of a programme as a respresentative of others
Product-process. A study of the product is expected to indicate the pay-off value; a study of the process is expected to indicat the intrinsic values of the programme
Descriptive-judgemental. Many evaluators coming from a social science background define the evaluation task largely as one of providing information, with an emphasis on objective data and a de-emphasis on subjective data. Those coming from the humanities are likely to reverse the emphasis
Preordinate-responsive. Preordinate studies are more oriented to objectives, hypotheses and prior expectations, mediated by the abstractions of language. Preordinate evaluations know what they are looking for an design the study so as to find it. Responsive studies are organized around phenomena encountered often unexpectedly as the programme goes along.
Wholistic-analytic. The more common social science research approach is to concentrate on a small number of key characteristics. A case study is often used to preserve the complexity of the programme as a whole, whereas a multivariate analysis is more likely to indicate the relationship among descriptive variables.
Internal-external. whether [evaluation studies] will be conducted by personnel of the institution responsible for the programme or by outsiders. They differ as to how formal the agreement to evaluate, as to how free the evaluators are to raise issues and interpret findings, and as to how changes in plans will be negotiated.
The eight dimensions above do not result in 256 different evaluation designs. Many of the dimensions are correlated, both conceptually and in frequency-of-use (pp. 16-18).
1997, John Davis, Evaluation Research: Part One: Types of Evaluation Research', Metropolitan State College of Denver, http://www.naropa.edu/faculty/johndavis/prm2/types6.html
1. Context evaluation: examines the political, social, financial, and other contexts for the program and the evaluation
2. Needs assessment: it may be used to determine the need for the programme, justify it, and design it
3. Process evaluation, program monitoring: determines whether the program was implemented as promised and how it was delivered and received
4. Formative evaluation: uses information collected during the early stages of the program to modify the later stages.
5. Outcome evaluation, summative evaluation: determines whether the objectives of the programme were met. Data to be collected come directly from the programs objectives.
6. Efficiency evaluation, cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit analysis: compares the costs and benefits of the program.
7. Utilization: evaluates whether the evaluation itself was used. Many good evaluations are not used for reasons unrelated to the evaluation itself (pp. 1-2).
[2000?] The Action Evaluation Research Institute: Helping Groups Define, Promote and Assess Success, http://www.aepro.org/inprint/papers/aedayton.html
[It is worth looking at this site for details of method, projects and success stories.]
Action Evaluation is a new method of evaluation, one that focuses on defining, monitoring, and assessing success. Rather than waiting until a project concludes, Action Evaluation supports project leaders, funders, and participants as they collaboratively define and redefine success until it is achieved. Because it is integrated into each step of a program and becomes part of an organization, Action Evaluation can significantly enhance program design, effectiveness and outcome [It]
Participation: All stakeholders in the process from the beginning, articulating and negotiating their goals, their values, and their proposed action plans.
Reflexivity: All participants function as reflective practitioners together, reflecting and examining the interaction of goals, values and activities
[Compare the above action evaluation approach with the 2 that follow:
[1996?] Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, Research and Evaluation, http://www.jhuccp.org/r&e
[?] Evaluation unit of the Center for Urban Studies, Wayne State University, Evaluation Research Overview, http://www.cus.wayne.edu/capabilities/evaluation.asp
The evaluation staff believe that evaluation and program staff should be partners in both program and evaluation design. The design phase of any evaluation is critical, as it sets the stage for the evaluation implementation. The first step in the evaluation research design process is to clearly articulate the evaluation questions of the intended audience. evaluation staff attempt to identify all the stakeholders in the program, that is, who cares about this program and the evaluation findings. Stakeholders could include program administrators, staff and participants, board members, funders, and community leaders Staff of the evaluation unit use up-to-date methods and approaches. Evaluations must be methodologically rigorous and in keeping with state-of-the-art evaluation practice The evaluation unit strongly believes that evaluation should not be a burden for program staff. Evaluation approaches and designs should accomplish what is needed with as little disruption to the client as possible Systematic, purposive, comprehensive and well-communicated evaluation is an integral part of program improvement and assessment
2002, William M.K. Trochim, Cornell University, Introduction to Evaluation, http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/intreval.htm
[Cf. this site for a description of 4 evaluation strategies: scientific-experimental models; management-oriented systems models; qualitative/anthropological models; participant-oriented models. It considers that perhaps the most important basic distinction in evaluation types is that between formative and summative evaluation.]

The Oklahoma defense's grades were high, despite the competition in a 26-6 win over Iowa State. The OU offense? Not so much.
The Oklahoma defense's grades were high, despite the competition in a 26-6 win over Iowa State. The OU offense? Not so much.
The middle linebacker played one of his best games as a Sooner. He had a team-high 11 tackles, including six solo, and constantly bore down on ISU ballcarriers after short passes or misdirection runs. Plus, Wort had a tipped pass that teammate Travis Lewis intercepted.
The Sooners gave the Cowboys plenty to think about for Bedlam. The double reverse, with Brennan Clay or Kenny Stills flipping the ball to Trey Franks, worked famously twice, for gains of 45 and 43 yards. OU also tinkered with its defensive lineup, moving Aaron Colvin to free safety, Sam Proctor to strong safety and leaving Tony Jefferson at rover, even though Jefferson seems a ready solution at free safety. Also, Josh Heupel showed new wrinkles in the BellBone, including an option play and another pass, even though Blake Bell threw into coverage and ISU's Jake Knott intercepted.
The Sooners penetrated Iowa State's 20-yard line seven times and came away with two touchdowns. That will get OU run out of Boone Pickens Stadium next week. And it wasn't just the failure of the Belldozer. The conventional offense wasn't any better.
The Sooners entered the game ranked sixth in Big 12 touchback percentage, but both Patrick O'Hara and Michael Hunnicut failed to get the ball into the end zone when kicking with the 35 mph wind.

Torque Converter chatter just started
I'm out in Nashville visiting my folks and 1200 miles from home and have a failing torque converter, I think. My folks have a steep driveway and backing out this morning there was a pretty good rattle from the trans area. I had to keep my foot into it and allow the rattle in order to back out, it was my only option.
While starting and idling the truck it is very apparent the sound is coming from the TC area. Took the cover off and inspected for loose flywheel bolts and anything else that looked wrong. Flywheel looked good best I can tell.
If I bring the RPMs up to 1400, the rattle goes away...I assume this is the TC locking, no more noise until RPMs drop below 1400.
Driving at highway speeds (or at lower speeds in town when the TC in locked) there is no noticeable chatter or shudder only when it unlocks to come to a stop and below 30mph. I have read about the early 99 TC issues and mine sounds exactly the same, some of these guys put 20k before fixing it. But I have an 02 and not sure if my failure point inside the TC is the same as the e99ers and I don't want to trash the tranny or flywheel by having something fail at highway speeds or when slowing down from highway speeds to refuel.
So...now for my question to you guys out there. I would love to do this job in MY driveway and not in my folk's...what do ya'll think about the risk involved?
I want to order the right TC (solid billet, etc) and do the job when I get home. Otherwise, its a NAPA (Pro-king) Torque converter working with only the tools I brought with me in my dad's driveway...
I realize it's a loaded question but thanks in advance for your help.
I ended up completing my cross country trip and parked the rig next to the house. drove 1200 miles straight with a cracked flywheel (the KC turnpike played hell on me, it made all kinds of racket), see below for what I found. Fell apart when I took the 10 bolts and bracket off.
Trans oil was clean with normal magnet metal buildup, replaced the trans filter, trans shaft oil seal and fluid flush, Replaced the TC with a RacerX prowler triple disc and replaced the flywheel with an OEM (wish I could have found something different to avoid the same failure point, no time). 4 of the 6 bellhousing to engine bolts were missing too,
I think more of us have cracked flywheels on their way out than we know of.
Trans shifts way smoother, pulls incredibly well with new TC compared the old one. Before the the flywheel let loose, I definitely had some "lash" in the old TC when compared to lockup on the new one. Not sure if this was a sign of a cracked flywheel or a on-the-way-out TC.
Happy with the RacerX so far.
Greasyside down,
I have changed flywheels that were cracked in the past that I know had overtorqued bolts. With the other bolts that you said were missing it makes me think someone had pulled that tranny once upon a time. BTW thanks for the follow-up on the problem. So many times people post problems and people try to help them then they quit posting and you never know what the fix was. Thanks again

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The New Mexico Game and Fish Department wants to get tough on poachers who leave the meat of trophy animals behind to rot.
The department is throwing its support behind legislation that would make such poaching crimes a fourth-degree felony in New Mexico. Currently, these crimes are classified as misdemeanors.
The department says tougher penalties are needed as a deterrent to stop the waste of the state's wildlife.
With a felony conviction, offenders could face 18 months in prison and fines of up to $5,000.
Over the past two years, conservation officers have investigated more than 200 cases in which big game animals have been unlawfully killed and their carcasses left to rot.

There are more than 30,000 light blue "It Shouldn't Hurt to be a Child" license plates on the road in Arizona today. Purchasing one of these specialty license plates supports primary child-abuse prevention programs throughout Arizona – programs designed to stop the pain before it starts.
Through this specialty license plate program, Flagstaff Medical Center's Women and Infants' Center recently received a grant for $46,600 that will help support the Mom to Mom support groups, First Steps and Born to Read programs offered through FMC's Women and Infants' Center. Since 2003 these programs have received a total of $281,400 from the Child Abuse Prevention License Plate Program.
"Providing support, resources and education to parents are some of the best ways to prevent child abuse," said Sheri Yeider, M.S.W., FMC parent support coordinator. "We are grateful to have received this grant money and plan to use it in multiple ways to support new parents and help them through this amazing, and sometimes stressful transition of becoming parents."
Mom to Mom is a free group program that provides ongoing support and education about parenting, as well as an opportunity to meet other new parents and babies. The program incorporates activities for the child's development such as memory, observation, listening, coordination and creativity.
FMC's First Steps is based on a national program which provides trained volunteers to visit new moms and help answer questions they may have. The program includes a new parent guide, information on community services, a first-year calendar and a "Born to Read" book bag to encourage parents to read to their newborns. Born to Read emphasizes the fact that a child's brain develops at an incredible rate during the first three years of life and encourages parents to read to their child at a very early age. A child's early experiences with reading will lay the foundation for learning and school readiness.
Since the "It Shouldn't Hurt to be a Child" license plates program's inception in 2000, more than $6.8 million in grant funds has been distributed to agencies throughout Arizona, which includes matching funds from The Arizona Republic Charities and its funding partners. Of the $25 license plate purchase price, $17 plus an $8.50 donation from The Arizona Republic Charities goes directly to primary prevention efforts statewide. The public can contribute to the prevention of child abuse by purchasing a blue plate with children's handprints.

Canmake Four Shiny Eyes Review
Canmake is one of my favorite inexpensive Japanese brands. They make pretty nice quality items with a cheap price tag! What more could a girl want right? Right.
I've tried many of their items and I'm particularly fond of their very cute eyeshadow trios. They have a series of different shadow selections that range from trios, duo shadows, and various other shimmery, glittery items for your eyes!
I own a majority of the items they sell under the eyeshadow category and I've always been very pleased with my collection of Canmake goodies. Imagine my delight when I heard that for the Summer they'd be releasing Four Shine Eyes! The palettes come in three shade choices which are 01 which is an off pink selection of shadows with a brown liner, 02 which is a teal blue green variation with brown liner, and 03 which is a brownish, gold, beige combo with a brown liner.
As I mentioned earlier on in my post the brand is cheap so obviously quality isn't fantastic however it is good. The shadows in the general catalog are shimmery and sheer but color can be built up and with a little work you can create a beautiful eye look!
Sadly, as much as I adore Canmake I do have to give the Four Shiny Eyes a big thumbs down. I was shocked, surprised, and disappointed with how bad these were. I've had great experience with the line up till now so it was a bit of a big let down that something brand new to the line would turn out so poorly.
The design on the Four Shine Eyes is similar to Kiss palettes prior to their revamp. Canmake's Four Shiny Eyes are made up of two contrasting shades of shadow, a base/highlighter, and a liner all housed in a cute clear crystal case! I was very excited to get my hands on these as they are different and unique to any prior eyeshadow releases I've seen come up from the line before!
As you can see below the Kiss palettes are similiar in style to these!
The Four Shiny Eye packaging shows how Canmake has evovled! The packaging is unique to any other palette they carry.
However, my excitement quickly died a quick death when I realized how terrible to texture of these were. Like many Japanese brands these sport a particularly chalky almost creamy texture which makes blending very difficult. Although this formula has never really bothered me in the past I felt like these were quite difficult to work with. The shadow kept balling up on me as I spread it on my lid and the end result was a messy, uneven application.
The staying powder was pretty much non existent considering that within 30 minutes of application the shadow was literally flaking off my eyes into tiny balls. I had major fall out to begin with as I applied and it got even worst as the day progressed. By the time my work day ended I was lucky to have a bit of shadow in place. They creased badly even with a nice layer of Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath!
What makes this even more heartbreaking is the fact that the Four Shine Eye palettes are an awesome and cheaper dupe of Visee Jewel Crush Eye Palettes. The color variations in each palette are almost identical to Visee's palettes. Each Four Shiny Eye Palette is 680 yen each where as the Visee palettes are 2,300 yen each. These would have made a fantastic little dupe if you were looking for an inexpensive color selection that was comparable to Visee's popular Jewel Crush Eye Palettes.
Pretty similar to Visee Jewel Crush Eye Palette in E-3!
Colors are a good dupe of E-4!
Sadly, even though the colors are similiar the quality is not. The chalky consistency of the formula is made with oily Asian eyelids in mind however they fail dramatically in creating a good shadow and you get a cross between cream and chalk which blends into little balls of shimmer that quickly become fall out on your cheeks and face. In this case Canmake should take a note from Majolica Majorca's Majolook palettes which sport a similar formula of eyeshadow but one that blends evenly, builds up in intensity, and stays put for hours at a time!
Although most of this was a disappointment I was delighted, as always when it comes to Japanese cosmetics, with the packaging. The cases are tiny, compact, really cute, and easy to store plus they come with a good little face chart in the back of the compact! I love how Japanese cosmetics always give the little extra instructions on use! I wish more American brands would take the time out to give us the courtesy of applying small application tips and tricks onto the packaging of products!
Nifty diagrams make for easy, breezy application!
Although the palettes are cute, inexpensive, and appear to be typical Japanese drugstore findings they fall flat in a major way and I can't help but give them a big thumbs down! Actually they were so bad I only got around to trying 02 which is the teal blue variation. The other two remain unopened untried. If anyone is interested in them e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com as I'm willing to sell them off!
Count the Muse disappointed on these! Don't waste your time! Pick up some of the older line up from Canmake or save your pennies for other palettes! Although new and exciting in design they sport nothing inside that redeems them!
Watch some MuseTV featuring a spotlight on Canmake!
7/3/08 6:47 loey:
Despite having access to Canmake in every drugstore here in Singapore, I never once picked it up because like you said, they are chalking, and only glittery but not very pigmented. Over here, the money can be better spent on more worthwhile products like the recent Revlon and Loreal palettes.
The only think I like about Canmake is the packaging, heh.
7/3/08 9:12 LithiaBlack:
Hello Muse and thanks for the rewiew!
I owe you an email, will answer it shortly, I have had an hectic week, moving house and trying to keep up withm y job at the same time 😛
I'm planning to buy some asian eyeshadow palettes in the future, but I have a hard time choosing what brand to start with. I'm planning to try out the cheaper brands first. Wich brand/brands do you recommend ?
7/3/08 10:14 Stephy:
hey muse! thanks for letting us know about the quality of these palettes! i was VERY close to actually ordering something from this line when i was browsing through ichibankao last night (because i was lemming the shiseido haku 2 serum)… glad that i didnt!!
7/3/08 11:28 the Muse:
Hi Loey!
I like some items from them
Sadly, many Japanese brands sport that chalky feel but these fail at blending well.
Revlon and Loreal isn't so great here 😛
The packaging is cute 😉 I do love some of what they put out but damn these were a huge disappointment 😛
Happy Almost Weekend!
7/3/08 11:30 the Muse:

7/3/08 11:34 the Muse:

Happy Almost Weekend!
7/3/08 12:18 Beauty Addict:
Hi Izzy, thanks for ya review I'm contemplating to buy this after seeing it but wasn't too sure about it. It seems a little crumpy to me when I swatched it from the tester. Glad I didn't plonked down my money on this.
Funnily though, it is quite sold out here!

7/7/08 19:42 ???:
Morning darling!
it's a bit sad eh that this didn't work out, the colours look so promising! >_< Gransenbon is a drugstore brand? or is it a counter brand? I seldom see Japanese mag like popteen or cawaii featuring them, but oh boy, those girls love Kate n MJ 😛 I love Kate too! And it maybe late, but T'estimo is really nice! I just got 2 of their palettes, Layered Impact and Gradually Eyes. Layered Impact is wonderful, no creasing or fading after wearing for 15 hours and without primer or base to boot! Thinking of getting their Grande Shine n Frame Impact while it's still there! :p loves,

Happy Weekend!
11/27/09 23:35 mell:
I am reading your post about canmake eyeshadow…..and I have to disagree.
I LOVE my "glitter eyes" shadows! I have not had the experience with the "four shiny eyes" product you talked about most on here so I cannot say what kind of quality they are.
What I love about the glitter eyes is that you can essentially sweep a larger blending type brush across all 3 colors and end up with make-up that looks fresh and slightly shimmery. I cant stand it when you want just a hint of shimmer and it comes out super pigmented…like your eyelids are a walking safety reflector.
When I wear it alone I have a youthful fresh look or you can add other colors or eyeliner for a more chick night out look.
One question…I have been fortunate enough to have lived in japan or visited frequently…and its only about $5 there…I see the prices here and they are about $16! Is there a good place you can recommend that is somewhat cheaper?
10/26/10 4:24 Clara:
Oh no, I just bought them today before seeing your post. Horrified already.

Whispers, secrets and lies? Anonymity apps rise
David Byttow, left, and Chrys Bader-Wechseler, are photographed Sunday, March 9, 2014 at the South By Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas. Byttow and Bader-Wechseler co-founded Secret, a new app that lets people share anonymous posts with their friends and friends of friends. (AP Photo/Barbara Ortutay)
NEW YORK (AP) — At a time when Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are pushing people to put forward their most polished, put-together selves, a new class of mobile applications aims for a bit more honesty.
Among the latest is Secret, created by two former Google engineers who were looking for a way to let people deliver genuine feedback to co-workers. With the app, friends and friends of friends can share their deepest and darkest thoughts, along with gossip, criticism and even plans to propose marriage, under a cloak of near-anonymity.
"This idea that you have to craft this perfect image online," says Secret's 30-year-old co-founder Chrys Bader-Wechseler. "That's stressful. We want to remove that stress."
Secret joins a handful of apps such as Confide, Whisper and Yik Yak that have become popular — and in some cases, notorious — in recent months, by offering users a way to communicate while cloaking their identities.
What happens when people are free to say what they want without a name and profile photo attached? It's an experiment in human nature that harkens back to the early days of the Web, when faceless masses with made-up nicknames ruled chat rooms and online message boards.
In the past decade, anonymity has been fading. As Facebook soared to dominate online social networks, the trend shifted toward profiles, real names and the melding of online and offline identities. But as people's online social circles grew from friends to parents, grandparents, in-laws, colleagues and bosses, many became Login to read more

|The Game Story:
|Schenectady, NY (April 2, 2005) � Union's start to Liberty League play was a disappointing one as they fell to St. Lawrence 16-7 at Frank Bailey Field in men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Dutchmen were outshot 46-24, including an 18-4 advantage in the first quarter when the Saints opened up a 5-1 lead. Union (4-5, 0-1) received a two-goal effort from senior Mike Sparico (Riverside, CT) and sophomore Bill Condon (West Hartford, CT).
St. Lawrence senior Alex Moore gave his team a 3-0 lead with the first three strikes of the game. Moore finished with three goals along with teammate Nick Mastine. Trailing by five Condon got Union on the board with 3:03 left in the first quarter.
In the second quarter the Saints reeled off three straight, capped off by a Brendan Lynch goal with 8:41 to play. Sparcio gave the Dutchmen their second goal 26 seconds later on the man advantage to make it 8-2 off a feed from Pete Gross (Larchmont, NY), who finished with three helpers on the day. Sparcio added another man-up goal with 1:14 left to play in the third.
Condon closed out the scoring with 3:46 left in the game following a goal by teammate Dan Myerow (Sudbury, MA).
Starting goaltender Rob Oram (New Canaan, CT) finished with nine saves before being replaced in the second by Will Tamm (Millbrook, NY) who made eight.
Justin Demuth stopped three shots to pick up the win. He was replaced by Brendan Dooley, who also made three saves, to start the fourth quarter.
Union continues Liberty League play next Saturday, April 9th at Skidmore for a 1:00 p.m. matchup.

|Watauga Hunger Coalition Seeks Donors
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Wednesday, 22 April 2009 12:00
The Watauga Hunger Coalition has almost depleted their food supply and are asking Watauga County residents to donate food.
The Hunger Coalition's executive director, Compton Fortuna, said more and more residents are requesting services from the Hunger Coalition.
Fortuna said, "One day last week we gave out food to 50 different families, which is a busy day, but I'd say on average now it's about 30 families per day."
Fortuna said residents can drop off any type of food they would normally buy for themselves at the grocery store, but non-perishables like canned foods and pastas are especially useful.
Fortuna said residents could drop off food at the Watauga Hunger Coalition's office off of Bamboo Road, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
