The Mexican experience in monitoring and evaluation of public policies addressing social determinants of health
Adolfo Martinez Valle*
Economic Analysis Unit, Ministry of Health, Mexico City, Mexico
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) have gradually become important and regular components of the policy-making process in Mexico since, and even before, the World Health Organization (WHO) Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) called for interventions and policies aimed at tackling the social determinants of health (SDH). This paper presents two case studies to show how public policies addressing the SDH have been monitored and evaluated in Mexico using reliable, valid, and complete information, which is not regularly available. Prospera, for example, evaluated programs seeking to improve the living conditions of families in extreme poverty in terms of direct effects on health, nutrition, education and income. Monitoring of Prospera's implementation has also helped policy-makers identify windows of opportunity to improve the design and operation of the program. Seguro Popular has monitored the reduction of health inequalities and inequities evaluated the positive effects of providing financial protection to its target population. Useful and sound evidence of the impact of programs such as Progresa and Seguro Popular plus legal mandates, and a regulatory evaluation agency, the National Council for Social Development Policy Evaluation, have been fundamental to institutionalizing M&E in Mexico. The Mexican experience may provide useful lessons for other countries facing the challenge of institutionalizing the M&E of public policy processes to assess the effects of SDH as recommended by the WHO CSDH.

A decade ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) called for interventions and policies aimed at the social determinants of health (SDH). One of its key recommendations was to measure health inequality and inequity while evaluating the impact of actions addressing SDH (1). Several public policies tackling health inequities, that result in part by unfair societal factors, have been implemented in Mexico – since and even before the CSDH was established. Most of these public policies aimed to fight poverty and/or protect the income of nearly half of Mexico's population. However only a few of them, have been rigorously monitored and evaluated. We focus herein only on public policies that have explicitly addressed "health-influencing experiences that result from the unequal distribution of political power, income, and resources, the resulting disparity in daily living circumstances, such as access to healthcare and education and living and working conditions, and the lower potential of socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals to lead prosperous lives" (1).
The absence of rigorous monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is explained in part by the fact that reliable, valid, and complete data are not regularly available. Case studies are used here to show how national policies in Mexico have been monitored and evaluated using available empirical evidence. Together with the creation of government agencies and instruments, and some fostering by WHO CSDH, Mexico has begun to institutionalise M&E.
M&E of policies tackling SDH in Mexico
For this study we selected two national public policies that tackled health inequities associated with the SDH and implemented M&E. The first is the conditional cash transfer program, now called Prospera.1 The program was implemented in 1997 to ameliorate the extreme poverty in which a quarter of Mexico's population had been living for the previous two decades. Prospera has systematically demonstrated direct effects on health (2–7) and nutrition (8–11) outcomes, and on important social determinants such as education (12–14). The program is regarded as setting international standards for social policy evaluation (15, 16).
The monitoring of Prospera's implementation has also helped policy-makers identify windows of opportunity to improve its design and operation (17). One of the main indicators used to monitor its performance is the percentage of people living in extreme poverty. This has been regularly measured every 2 years through the national income and expenditure surveys were introduced. Since Prospera was introduced, as this percentage has been gradually diminishing (Fig. 1). Although this reduction cannot be attributed only to the Prospera program, there is evidence indicating its effect on alleviating, or at least containing, the growth of extreme poverty (15, 19–24).
Fig. 1. Extreme poverty evolution in Mexico, 1996–2014. From Ref. (18).
This indicator – the percentage of the population living in extreme poverty – does not, however, identify who the most socially disadvantaged individuals living in extreme poverty are. Figure 2 shows that most people living in extreme poverty are indigenous.2 This highlights the importance of developing specific strategies to address this important inequity.
Fig. 2. Percentage of population living in extreme poverty by indigenous condition, 2010–2014. From Ref. (25).
The more recent program, called Seguro Popular de Salud (SPS), is a national insurance scheme designed in 2002 and implemented since that time to protect the income of the population not covered by social security. It provides explicit health insurance coverage for a fairly comprehensive benefit package. Evaluations of SPS have provided empirical evidence of the positive effects of this financial protection, especially for the low-income population (26–32). Evidence shows a reduction in the inequitable allocation of resources between the insured and the uninsured population (33, 34).
Seguro Popular has been monitored using health insurance coverage as the main indicator. National health surveys and national income and expenditure surveys were used to gather data. Both datasets have shown increasing coverage of the affiliated population (Fig. 3). When disaggregated by sex, the population not covered by a public insurance scheme shows how men have a lower coverage than women (Fig. 4).

Fig. 4. Percentage who lack insurance coverage by sex, 2010–2014. From Ref. (18).
Despite this progress, full access to public health care in Mexico has not yet been achieved. Users keep seeking private services to take care of their health problems resulting in still relatively high out-of-pocket payments. Out-of-pocket payments have diminished from 51.7% of total health expenditures in 2004 to only 44% in 2013 (32).
Institutionalization of M&E
M&E has gradually become an important component of public policy-making in Mexico, and Prospera has set the example. Soon after the implementation of Prospera, Congress mandated that all programs with operating rules3 had to be evaluated annually by external evaluators. The mandate covered approximately 25–30% of the federal budget for programs. The number of evaluations jumped from single digits to over a hundred in 2001 and in subsequent years (35). Seguro Popular was one of those programs.
The Social Development Law and the creation of the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Policy (CONEVAL) in 2004 further institutionalized evaluation. CONEVAL was designed as an autonomous institution whose mission was to measure poverty reduction results nationally and coordinate evaluation of social programs by the federal government. Its independence and technical capacities4 as well as the mandate allowed it to advance construction of the social sector M&E system. The experience of CONEVAL has become a benchmark for other developing countries undertaking M&E reforms (35).
Although there is more evaluation to be done, still very little of that information has been effectively used. There was little awareness then of the role that evaluation plays in improving government programs. Although by law, every health-related policy should undergo some form of evaluation, evaluation guidelines have not always been followed. They are difficult to enforce. Evaluation activity has also lacked the incentives and institutional arrangements to ensure use of the findings.
More recently, under National Health Programs since 2007, the health sector agenda has explicitly addressed persistent inequalities associated with the distribution of wealth and other socioeconomic factors, plus health system characteristics that shape the rules of financing and access to health services (36). Furthermore, in order to monitor progress toward the overall goal of achieving more inclusive development, indicators that address SDH have been included in the current government's National Health Program (37) (Table 1).
Future challenges
Although institutional foundations are in place, important challenges to achieving full institutionalization of M&E remain in Mexico. The main challenge is the widespread use of M&E as a transparent policy-making practice. Transparency and accountability have fostered M&E of public policies in Mexico. However, the utility of these practices is yet to be fully recognized in policy-making circles. This challenge is closely linked to the following:
- Develop capacity building for evaluation at all levels of government to measure the effect of public policies on target populations.
- Foster the practice of monitoring in policy-making. Monitoring is still is not as developed as evaluation. Monitoring mostly relies on administrative data that are usually not as reliable and complete as the data used for longer-term in-depth evaluations that focus more on outcomes and impacts.
- Strengthen health information systems to provide disaggregated data by socioeconomic groups for monitoring health inequalities. This is essential for everyday decision-making, because government performance is strongly linked to services and products that need to be managed on a daily basis. Public policy practices must complement each other with equally rigorous methodologies.
In sum, M&E has gradually become an important and regular part of the policy-making process in Mexico. Both the production of useful and sound evidence on the impact of programs such as Prospera and Seguro Popular, as well as legal mandates, and strong institutions such as CONEVAL, have been critical in institutionalizing M&E. The Mexican experience may provide useful lessons for other countries wanting to assess the effects of SDH by institutionalizing, monitoring, and evaluating their own public policy processes.

1Prospera was originally named Progresa in 1997. It was then changed to Oportunidades in 2002 and to Prospera in 2014. These name changes have been principally because of different political parties being in power. The essential characteristics of a conditional cash transfer program have remained unchanged.
2Indigenous are those individuals that either speak a native language or live in a household where a native language is spoken.
3Rules of operation required every program that received federal budget to provide basic information about its design, objectives, performance indicators, target population, and procedures.
4CONEVAL relies on an independent collegiate body made up of six academic councilors. These six individuals are democratically elected for a period of 4 years, and they are chosen from certified academic institutions. The councilors are involved in all of the agency's decisions and the definition and review of evaluation projects. They also provide general guidance on the administrative direction of the institution and play an important role in the methodologies for poverty measurement.

text: I have signed "Contract to buy Motor Vehicle" with a dealer after negotiating the price and vehicle specifications for $32,500 and paid $1000 advance money, but now the car dealer says they cannot sell the vehicle to me and the dealer wants me to cancel the contract and sends my advance back. Since I already sold my existing vehicle and no car presently puts me in really bad situation. Since the signed car was 2014 with free rego and stamp duty and no other similar car not available with other dealers in Perth! Cancelling the contract and purchasing 2015 model would cost me additional $5,000 (approximate). I request your kind help and advice regarding my rights under Australian consumer law. Whether am I eligible to ask any compensation to my loss or alternatives to the dealer or enforce the contract? Does the "Sale contract letter" signed by both purchaser and Dealer Manager has any relevant legal value as it states?

RUSK COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) – Halloween night brought a touching tribute as law enforcement agencies in western Wisconsin banded together to bring some joy to the family of a fallen deputy.
Deputy Dan Glaze was shot and killed Saturday night while investigating a suspicious vehicle near Ladysmith.
State Trooper Jodi Kummet, whose husband is a Rusk County Sheriff's Office detective, arranged for area officers to take Deputy Glaze's five-year-old son Levi trick-or-treating.
The response was overwhelming. Almost 40 area deputies, police officers, troopers and DNR wardens from Eau Claire, Chippewa, Rusk and Barron counties and beyond showed up to take Levi door-to-door in Cameron, where the Glazes live.
Kummet says residents had blue lights on and special bags of treats ready for Levi, who was dressed as the Lego Green Ninja.
She said while everyone is sad, it was nice to make the day special for Deputy Glaze's son.

Oil Prices and the Impact of the Financial Crisis of 2007-2009

Oil prices increased dramatically during 2004-6. Industry experts initially attributed these price increases to fundamental factors such as the rise in global demand, but also because of disruptions in the supply of oil. The price increases however were so substantial that additional factors are needed to explain such dramatic changes. We propose that the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar measured both by the appreciation of the Euro and of gold prices, played an important role as oil suppliers demanded compensation for the declining value of the dollar. Using a Markov switching regime methodology we find evidence that this hypothesis is true prior to the financial crisis, but its validity does not hold after the crisis when oil prices crashed and the dollar rallied.

Very nice photo. I am interested in the CV 12mm as a possible replacement for my old Sigma 12-24mm lens. Would you happen to have experience of how the Sigma compares (corner sharpness, color cast, distortion, etc.) to the CV 12mm? I have the older version Sigma but comparisons to the new would also be useful.

De Marchi set out to take the traditional softshell jacket to new heights, using a proprietary blend of materials and refined fit techniques. We think the Italian apparel guru pretty much nailed it with its new Women's Softshell Jacket, as it provides protection from the elements in a stretchy, streamlined, and detail-filled silhouette.
For the construction of the Softshell, De Marchi used its proprietary ThermaShield 3L fabric. This material provides a triple-layer of protection against the elements. The exterior of the fabric is water-resistant, which is further reinforced by a windproof membrane. At the interior, ThermaShield features a medium loft that provides a fleecy comfort of warmth against the skin. Just as importantly, though, this textured liner works to efficiently pull moisture away from the skin. And as a result, your torso and arms remain dry and warm from the inside out.
As with all De Marchi apparel, the Softshell jacket was made with both a maximum freedom of movement and the best materials available. Its anatomical, women's-specific fit was made possible using pre-shaped fabric panels that closely follow the body while in motion. When sewn together, these panels form somewhat of a three dimensional shape on their own, mimicking the body before even reaching your shoulders. The result is a jacket that eliminates all unnecessary material, leading to the best fit possible.
De Marchi also spent considerable time focusing on the jacket's finishing details as it did refining the fabrics and fit. You'll notice that the jacket features a tall collar and a subtle drop-tail hem, both of which work to provide added coverage from the elements. A small chest pocket and full-length zipper round out the front, and two side-zip-access pockets line the rear.
The De Marchi Softshell Women's Jacket is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black, Desert, Purple, and Sky.

Tim Duncan dropped 22 points and grabbed 19 boards in 36 minutes. Duncan is really starting to cook on both ends of the floor. Manu Ginobili had 12 points and 4 assists in 31 minutes. Manu only needs to get this much a night because the Spurs are so deep. Bonzi Wells for the Kings had 18 points and 14 rebounds in 45 minutes. Bonzi can finally get good minutes with the Kings.

Product Description:
Victtorio de Sica's SHOESHINE, a Neorealist masterpiece, vividly captures the destitution of many youngsters in the cities of post-World War II Italy. Giuseppe (Rinaldo Smordoni) and Pasquale (Franco Interlenghi), two poor and hungry boys, trade goods on the black market in order to buy food and other items they need. When they're caught trying to sell stolen army material, the boys are sent to prison for their crimes. There, they discover a house of horrors, where corrupt guards open their packages and accept bribes for favors. Giuseppe and Pasquale try to escape, but an unimaginable tragedy awaits them.
Plot Synopsis:
Set in post World War II Rome, SHOESHINE, Vittorio De Sica's classic Italian Neorealist film, follows the friendship of two best friends, Giussepe (Rinaldo Smordoni) and Pasquale (Franco Interlenghi), who are saving money to buy a horse. When Giussepe's older brother offers the boys a job selling black market blankets, they earn enough money to buy the horse of their dreams, but are soon picked up by the police. Under interrogation, neither boy reveals the name of Giussepe's brother, and as a result both are sent to juvenile prison. In the harsh world of the prison, the two boys are assigned to different cells, with Giussepe falling in with a gang of toughened criminals. In a subsequent interrogation, the police pretend to whip Giussepe, tricking Pasquale into ratting on Giussepe's brother. Giussepe is unaware of the reasons why Pasquale finked on his brother and despises him for it. The ensuing hatred between the former best friends results in injustices and tragedy. Throughout, De Sica's dexterity with harsh reality, human cruelty, and the point of view of the young protagonists creates a touching and disturbing tale.
Production Notes:
- Vittorio De Sica's seventh film as a director brought him both national enmity and international adulation. It Italy, government officials stood aghast at De Sica's boldness in depicting the prison life of children, while in the United States the film received a special academy award.
- English subtitles by Herman G. Weinberg.

Thanks for helping!
My wife and I ate here twice in a week , once for lunch and once for dinner. The food is outstanding and the service is great. We really enjoyed the cheeseburgers ! Definitely recommend !
Great burgers and fries. Elk burger was tasty and the Idaho French fries were wonderful. The kid's grilled cheese was great. Iced tea was delicious & when I asked about the tea they used to make it, they gave me a tea bag to take with me so I could order it on Amazon. Service was cheerful and prompt, but...
We were drawn to this small burger place by their "made fresh daily" sign, and it definitely did not disappoint! The burgers were great and so was the service. They have a lot of burger options and you can customize your own burger too. A must stop before you leave Victor!
We ate here after skiing all day and the burgers are AMAZING! You get plenty of food and the fries are outstanding. Be sure and ask for some of their special sauce to have with your fries. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Be sure and get to this restaurant!
After a day of skiing at Grand Targhee, we headed over to Brakeman to stuff our faces with the most amazing burgers. They are huge, they are juicy, and perfect. My husband got the ginormous Crazy Brakeman burger and proclaimed it the best burger he has eaten. And he ate the whole thing without busting his buttons. I ordered the...
We stopped into The Brakeman while traveling through Idaho based on the great reviews we had read. This is a small Mom & Pop restaurant in a small town between Jackson Hole and Idaho Falls. The burgers we had were just fantastic, and with great fries. Not just tasty food, but lots of it too. Fair prices and very friendly...
Thanks so much for your kind review! Come see us again soon.
Asked the staff at my new dentist in Victor where I should go for a good sandwich. Two said, "The Brakeman." They were correct. Casual place (all of Victor is casual), good ambiance, friendly service, inexpensive prices, and great burgers. BUT THE FRIES WERE FANTASTIC. Home made, thin cut, crispy, skins on, and just enough salt and spice to make...
Sounds like you have a great dentist! Come see us on your next trip over the hill.
So we stopped for lunch, and first glance at the menu I thought $12 was a lot for hamburger in this neck of the woods. Wow was I wrong- this was one of the most delicious burgers I have ever eaten and so worth the price!!! Generous portions, friendly staff, great food! Will definitely eat there again- bring your appetite!
Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate your business so very much!
I think they added a chicken sandwich and a salad to the menu but these guys are about a burger. Unique toppings, great quality meat, excellent thin cut fries. The only caveat is that it's a small operation and everything is cooked to order so some patience is called for.
Thank you for the awesome review, all the way from Denmark!!
We were road weary and needed some good food- we lucked out at The Brakeman American Grill! Clever railroad motif, clean, and yummy hamburgers! It was a great evening enjoying this small, yet efficient spot!
Thanks for trying our restaurant. So glad to hear you enjoyed your visit!

Sebenza- LV (CD)
Discovery Miles 180
Eligible for Cash on Delivery. Learn more
Free Exchanges & Returns for 30 days. Learn more
On 'Sebenza', meaning 'work' in the Zulu language, South Africa meets
South London as the trio of producers hook up with three of their
favourite South African mc's, Okmalumkoolkat from Dirty Paraffin,
Spoek Mathambo and MC/producer duo, Ruffest.
The first sessions from the album started two years ago, when one of LV
went over to Jo-burg to DJ and hooked up with Spoek Mathambo on a
tip off from a mutual friend. One thing led to another and they were
introduced to Okmalumkoolkat, and on a later visit, to the duo of Sello
and Max who make up Ruffest. Their talents as mc's and infectious
characters are what drew LV to them, and by happy coincidence, the
synthesis of their vocals and LV's music form something fresh, unique
and playful.
Across the album, LV's music is 'zingy', analog synths, digitally propelled
by multisided rhythms, that take off from the interzone between uk funky
and kwaito house's bouncy rhythms, but detour much wider through the
spidery, digital soca/kuduro of 'Sebenza', the afro-garage of 'Animal
Prints', the scuttling triplets of 'DL' and 'Limb', the half speed grime of
'Zulu Compurar', the old school electro hip hop of 'International Pansula'
and the Prince-like synth melodies on closer 'Ultando Lwaka'. The
album shares a palate of sounds, but each track stretches this palate
into different templates, each custom built with the mc's flow and topic in
mind, slowed down and sped up where needed.
The three mc's styles differ from each other dramatically.
Okmalumkoolkat schizophrenically shape-shifts through different
characters; he's an Afro-futurist, tech nerd on 'Zulu Compurar', a wired
gangster on 'International Pansula', and on 'Spitting Cobra', a
shapeshifting bad man. Ruffest mix shout outs to the thugs on 'Hustla',
boast their uniqueness on 'Nothing Like Us' , bring the party on 'Thatha'
and get love sick on 'Uthando Lwakho'. On 'Limb' Spoek Mathambo's
rhymes dissolve into the rhythm like a holographic James Brown, while
'Work' answers Okmalumkoolkat's 'Sebenza' with instructional
cheerleading over clicking beats.
'Sebenza' is a joyful listen, refreshing in its disregard for musical and
verbal cliché. It brings to attention a handful of the awesome talent of
South Africa's young generation of MC's over the finest productions of
South London.

Very pretty flower dance! Perfectly choreographed.
Posted over 6 years ago.
weavingmajor says:
I don't think it needs the green at all! the blue background gives the surreal impression of sky... it's really nice.
victorialasher says:
Thanks ms corona:)
ms_corona says:
This is a very nice study on "random placement" ~ Negative space is never perfect, so we have to let go and let be... It's more difficult than one would think! Good job.
victorialasher says:
Thank you all so much. I really struggled with this design, especially the placement. I think it was made so much harder with no green. I had really wanted to try to get the illusion of green in the background using some texture with the yellow; but I just got so bogged down with the spacing issues it never happened.
lulakiti says:
Very nice! Relaxing even! :)
uzumakijo says:
hi victoria, i really like this one too - i agree with sammy it looks so clean and fresh, very light and airy. i think it's lovely!

Sweet, clean and fresh, Victoria! There are so many applications for a great design like this, thanks to your floaty flowery friends, Daisy and Susan! Well done!

Wacom has released the new Intuos4 pen tablet with a change in design and new features. The Intuos4 is now available in four different wide-format sizes, S ($229), M ($349), L ($469), and XL ($789).
Intous4 now features the new Wacom Tip Sensor which allows precision and control with only a single gram of pen pressure. It now offers 2,048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity which up from 1,024 for the Intuos3.
Another new feature is the finger-sensitive Touch Ring, which allows you to control up to four different functions in each application for on-the-fly adjustments such as zooming, scrolling, brush size, canvas rotation, and more.
The eight programmable ExpressKeys are now grouped on one side, with OLED illuminated labels, which is a nice addition. If you are left handed, just rotate the tablet 180° degrees, and change a control panel setting, to adjust the tablet from a right-handed to a left-handed configuration.
The new weighted pen stand and pen holder also functions as a handy twist-off storage compartment for pen nibs and handy nib removal tool. Also included is the newly redesigned five-button mouse. Make sure to check out Wacom for more information on all the new features.
So is the Intuos4 worth the upgrade? Let us know what you think.

Porous coordination networks can act as crystalline molecular flasks. As shown in the cover picture, chemical reactions may proceed in these flasks as in solution. M. Kawano, M. Fujita et al. report in their Communication on page 8030 ff. that organic transformations with bulky reagents proceed smoothly within the pores with the reagents diffusing through the network. Unlike solution-state reactions, those within the crystalline flask can be easily analyzed by crystallography.

What was my favourite invention from my childhoold
Damien Mulley posted a great competition from Science Week where entrants can win a Nintendo Wii if you post your answer and you are lucky enough to be drawn at the end of the day.
So, in answer to today's question, "What was MY favourite invention from my childhood?":
The WHAT I hear you say?
From what I remember, it was the poor relation to the BBC Micro and only had 32K of RAM but also had BBC Basic in its ROM meaning I could play the "cooler and better" BBC Micro games on it.
But more than anything, like the Commodore 64 a few months later, it set my imagination alight. Never before did I have a tool which allowed me to both PLAY programs as well as code programs.
At aged just 9, I was buying books about computing and teaching myself how to write something that would allow a computer to "speak to me" and provide answers to questions I ask of it, or allow me to guide a submarine away from depth charges…
For the first time ever, at just 9, I had the capability to not only take control of the future, but to design it too.

Morphological Development in Mohawk. Papers and Reports on Child Language Development, Number 18.
Feurer, Hanny
The spontaneous speech of a Mohawk-speaking boy was recorded from age 2;10 to 4;1. Analysis of this speech indicated that certain verbal prefixes are acquired earlier than suffixes. The pronominal prefix of nouns, on the other hand, enters late. Yet, before the appearance of any nominal affix, the child already uses a pronominal possessive as a free form. Its status is that of a noun. The pattern of verb-affix acquisition appears to be language particular. The pattern of affix acquisition in general conforms to the well-known principle that irregular forms are mastered later than regular ones. Data also stress the importance of low frequency forms. These might mark important transitional periods within a child's speech development. Language acquisition research that focuses mainly on quantitative material might thus ignore important strategical clues. Overgeneralization in a child's speech is not only indicative of capacity to differentiate, but it may also reveal the manner in which new linguistic information is processed. (Author/JB)

Registration for Young Adult Event, Relevance X 2011, Is Open
January 13, 2011
LAS VEGAS, Nevada | Relevance Ministries, the young adult ministry of The Desert Southwest Annual Conference, has announced the return of an exciting conference for young adults (ages 18-30) taking place in Las Vegas.
Scheduled for Feb. 18-20, Relevance X is focused on developing disciples within our faith communities and in the world, empowering them to become new disciples.
Tony Jones, a sought-after speaker in the areas of emerging church, postmodernism, and Christian Spirituality will keynote Relevance X 2011. The author of The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier, he is theologian-in-residence at Solomon's Porch in Minneapolis.
The book has been highly praised:
"There is indeed new life arising from the compost of Christendom. Tony's book lets us see it, smell it, and touch it. The challenge with a book like this is neither to be overcome by the smell of the poop, nor stupefied by the beauty of a flower – more than anything we must see this book as an invitation to get our hands dirty, break a sweat, get messy outside the air conditioned walls of comfort, and not just read more books on gardening."
– Shane Claiborne, author, activist and recovering sinner
"I devoured this book! Like A New Kind of Christian gave words to the experiences and thoughts of so many, early in this decade, The New Christians provides language, theology and a nudge toward a path out of our bipolar morass of left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative, mainline vs. evangelical. It cuts sideways across all the rhetoric, entrenchment and warfare-positioning of modern day Christianity. I'm confident Tony's book will provide definition for many, helpful disequilibration for others, and – best of all –new hope for those who cannot (or refuse to) continue trudging numbly along the cattle paths of the American church."
– Mark Oestreicher, president, Youth Specialties
Relevance X 2011 will serve to prepare this new generation of leaders and discuss sharing the good news. Many of us believe it's important, or have at least heard that it is – but why?
Why is it important that we attend church? Are we saving souls from hell? Are we improving this life by building God's kin(g)dom on earth? Are we just inviting folks to be a part of a welcoming, nurturing community?
How we answer these questions become the foundation of almost every other question we ask or answer on our journey of faith, and being clear about why we attend church offers us a better understanding of our own theology, our relationship with God, and what it is we have to offer the hurting world around us. This theme will be woven throughout the event, as Relevance X 2011 will allow attendees to converge, transform, and innovate.
"In 2010 we worked to prepare this new generation of Christian Leaders, that we firmly believe need to be the leaders of today," says Glen Simpson, chair of Relevance Ministries. "This conference 'encouraged young people to live out God's vision for themselves and others, with hope for a just and inclusive world.'"
One attendee shared that, "One of the things that the Lord has been speaking to me about is being more vocal about my faith. This conference is just what I needed. The Holy Spirit spoke to me the whole time and just made me aware of how we need to go out into this world and spread the Gospel."
Relevance X will not simply be an event you attend. Relevance X, a movement that focuses on empowering young adults to become leaders in their communities through worship, service, and mission and by developing their leadership skills, uniting their voices, and actively creating change in our communities.

of how i got (am getting) hit on by a media personality.
last friday, i'm standing in line at the resto, waiting to order my grilled cheese on whole wheat treat. a lady standing in front of me, turns to the suited up guy behind me, and says, "hey kid cudi, i've seen you on tv a lot lately, you're looking good" and so i turned around to look and it's some vaguely greazy MAN in a suit. now, i have this bad habit of always assuming that grown men in suits at the resto are high ranking u.s. politicians. this is because of my shameful secret: that i still don't know all the high ranking u.s. politicians by face, yet. so i err on the side of caution.
i go up and place my order and the guy behind me says, "make that 2" so i turn and start talking to him. he asks me what i do, what my name is, etc. he tells me that he's an actor and a hip hop mc, and i feel bad for not recognizing him (i'm also hyper-self conscious at my work because i don't follow the news as closely as i should - i'm too busy keeping myself abreast of youtube sensations and internet memes to be - ya know, important stuff like that...lol!) so i say, "sorry, i don't watch much tv" and then we're making idle chit chat about lunch (that i would get fries except i'm planning on going to burger king and doing a calorie splurge on the weekend) and what level of service my work offers to members of the press (they're clients of ours.) so i grab my sandwich and he goes, "what was your last name again?" and i tell him and take off with a polite, friendly, "nice meeting you." he definitely left a smarmy vapour in the air - the talking was a little TOO dialed in and way too much eye-to-eye contact - so he was either trying to sell me a house/car, get my vote, or was hitting on me.
go upstairs and talk to my buddy K and tell her that i'm pretty sure i was being hit on by some dude. and i tell her who and she's all like, "OMG, M & G (my other work girls) ALSO had an experience with that guy" (i guess kid cudi likes asians.) anyway, the story with G & M is that one year they ran into him at the grammys and he was talking with a piece of gum in his mouth that he accidentally spat out AND THEN PUT BACK IN HIS MOUTH (i'm pretty sure that's the story) and then went sniffing around M's office the following day looking for her but she was away from her desk. it ended at that.
if only i had been so lucky.
p.s. we're pretty sure he's married. to a GORGEOUS asian woman.
p.p.s. he looks like this:
ummmm...such a MAN, right? maybe i'm delusional, but i like to think that i look WAY too young and cool and NOT like a "woman" to be seen associating with a dude who looks like that. jeez. i like my guys in crooks and adidas.
i eat my sandwich. half an hour later, my desk phone rings, and it's HIM ASKING ME TO GO FOR COFFEE. so i'm all flustered because i don't want to be rude to a client and it's not like it's SO OBVIOUS that he's hitting on me, but c'maaan. so i'm like, "uhhh, i'm on back-up" (which means i'm on call to handle rush, walk-in requests) so he goes, "i guess that means you're chained to your desk" and i say yes and then he ASKS ME FOR MY EMAIL.
so i give him the work one because it's still not clear that it's not professional.
THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER I GET AN EMAIL. the subject line: "fishy" (literally, it said the word fishy, not like it was suspect, even though it was so it's kind of an inadvertent double entendre).
and the wording is SO SUGGESTIVE!!! it goes like this: "i had the seafood soup, it was okay, but now all i taste is salmon. i prefer the taste of my grilled cheese - ketchup of course. i'm sure you regret not getting the fries, i should have pressured you more so i could have plucked some from your pile. ha. nice talking to you" [emphasis mine]
WHAT THE FUZZ?!? so i'm all like, what the heck do i do?!? anyway, it gave everyone a good laugh on friday and livened up the rest of the afternoon.
i sent back a generic email saying that you have to be careful what you order down there, have a good weekend, nice meeting you, etc. very tasteful (i think) and not suggestive.
then yesterday he sends me an email asking about whether i got burger king on the weekend...still pretty casual. i respond that i didn't - keeping it light.
so i said, "sorry, i can't - i'm busy all afternoon, but i gotta ask, is the coffee personal or professional?"
now, you're going to wonder why i didn't do a lot of things - like tell him i'm hitched, shut him down, etc. and this is where being hit on at work complicates things. if this was the club, in the street, etc - i know what to do - you get the polite, tight-lipped smile, and the "oh no you di'n't" finger wave in your face or something equivalent. if you continue to press your case, then you get the b****y put down that is simultaneously HILARIOUS (for me) and puts you in your place. but this is work, so i feel like my hands are tied.
also, the feminist in me is not one to go running around telling people that i'm married. i don't feel like it's anyone's business. and the non-hetero-normative-monogamous in me doesn't feel like that's a truthful response - i don't want to support an institution i find problematic by leaning on its problematic elements as an excuse. i'm not interested in him because he's gross. not because i'm married. and not because i have a husband. to me, the two are unrelated (yes, i concede that that's a less conventional view of the bonds of marriage, but that's the only way i can be okay with it.)
THEN he sends the grossest email back (which i kind of didn't even understand) where he responds to some of my polite filler and then says this: "the coffee request was personal (he says .. waiting for the thump)"
i didn't get what the "waiting for the thump" part meant but K suggested it's cuz he thought he was going to get shot down.
so my response was this: "THUMP...ha. while it's super flattering to know what i made such an impression on a random trip for a grilled cheese sarnie, i'm afraid i've got too many extra-curricular activities on the go to contemplate complicating my work life with anything beyond friendly banter. also, I don't drink caffeine."
which, correct me if i'm wrong, i consider to be pretty clear, but still friendly and professional.
"i'm uncomplicated. just so you know. ;) and coffee .. was a metaphor.
i figure a brilliant library researcher would like that word. and its implications.
let me see .. i have tea, herbal tea, california cabernet sauv, single malt scotch, beer and vodka in my office. doesn't sound complicated to me. don't' suppose you have an email that's NOT work issued that we can banter on"
and then gave me his gmail address.
WHAT THE BLOOD. WHO DOES THAT?!!!? WHO DOES THIS WORK ON?!!!? also, WORST METAPHOR EVER. what a skeezeball. now i'm just mad. i was being polite and professional and i felt sad for his leisure suit larry ways before (it's sad seeing a grown a** man acting like a chump), but now i'm just pissed that he refuses to take a hint AND thinks this crap works on me. so you're basically going to push the issue until i outright tell you that i'm way out of your league? that you don't have a chance in hell? that you're GROSS?!? what a creepz0rz.
so now i'm going to email that gmail address and nip this in the bud. something along the lines of: "you're barking up the wrong tree, bud" or "i'm way out of your league, bro-dawg"
or something else if inspiration strikes. i gotta say though, being on the hinterland side of 30, it's nice to know i still got it. and when i say "i still got it" i'm being SUPER undiscriminating. i get a bit of an ego rush if a homeless man hits on me or if i get a wolf whistle biking by a methadone clinic. i ain't picky, ya hear?
tonight i made a splendid mostly vegetarian dinner. i made a red lentil and leek soup with crispy bacon, sage, and a touch of cream and some heat from red chili flakes. the dotytron insisted on pureeing it with the hand blender until it became "velveteen."
i also made quesadillas with sautéed beet greens and roasted red pepper and cheddar cheese.
so good!
now we're off on a nightly walk and then yoga, reading, and bed.
