A new randomized experiment, mentioned at an Economist blog, raises an important question: Can a social program sometimes hurt the very people it is trying to help? The answer to this question is clearly yes. And we do not have to go all the back to the 1930s to reference the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study, a well-executed random experiment that attempted to prevent the delinquency of juvenile males through over five years of counseling. Compared to the control group, those who received the well-intentioned treatment were more likely to have been convicted of serious crimes, died an average of five years younger, and were more likely to be medically diagnosed with alcoholism, schizophrenia, and manic depression. More alarming, the adverse effects increased as the intensity and duration of the treatment increased.
More recent examples of federally funded social programs doing harm can be found in my book, Do Federal Social Programs Work? The results of the 20 multi-site experimental evaluations of 21 federal social programs published since 1990 generally find that these programs are ineffective. However, social-program advocates too frequently concentrate on any beneficial, even if only modest, impacts that have been identified. Nevertheless, politicians and policy experts also need to recognize that federal social programs can have a harmful impact, too. These harmful effects rarely get mentioned in government press releases announcing the findings of evaluations.
Here are just a few examples from my book:
A 1993 evaluation of Department of Labor job-training programs operating under the Job Training Partnership Act found that adult men participating in training programs were more likely to be dependent on welfare benefits than similar men not given access to the training. Male youths with no criminal arrest record at the time of random assignment were more likely to be arrested after participating in federal job-training programs, while male youth with histories of arrest experienced long-term declines in income.
A 2002 evaluation of Early Head Start, a HHS program that serves infants and toddlers under the age of three and pregnant women, found that the program increases dysfunctional parent-child interactions for white parents. Further, participation in Early Head Start appears to have increased welfare dependency for Hispanics.
Evaluations of Head Start published in 2010 and 2012 mainly found the program to be ineffective. However, there were a few harmful impacts worth noting. For the three-year-old cohort of the Head Start Impact Study, kindergarten teachers reported that math abilities were worse than for similar children not given access to the program. For the four-year-old cohort, teachers reported that Head Start children in the first grade were more likely to be shy or socially reticent than their peers. By the third grade, teachers reported that the four-year-old cohort with access to Head Start displayed a higher degree of unfavorable emotional symptoms than similar children without access to the program. Further, children in the four-year-old cohort self-reported poorer peer relations with fellow children than their counterparts in the control group.
The role of the federal government in funding after-school programs increased substantially after passage of the Improving America's School Act of 1994, which created the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program. A 2007 multi-site experimental impact evaluation of the program found a whole host of harmful effects. Overall, teachers found participating students to have disciplinary problems that were confirmed by student-reported data. According to their teachers, participating students were less likely to achieve at above average or high levels in class and were less likely to put effort into reading or English classes. These students were also more likely to have behavior problems in school than their counterparts. Teachers were more likely to have to call the parents of participating students about misbehavior. Participating students were also more likely to miss recess or be placed in the hall for disciplinary reasons, while also having parents come to school more often to address behavior problems. 21st Century students were also more likely to be suspended from school than similar students.
In sum, federal social programs that harm their participants are not uncommon. This fact is all too often ignored by the advocates of these programs.

Rosalind Mosier
Biography from the Archives of askART
Article in New York Sculpture Center
Studios Magazine
, March 1988
Rosalind Asch Mosier personifies the type of people who attend the Sculpture Center Studios; urban, articulate, committed and involved in the creative issues that make New York what it is.
Roz approaches both her sculpture and her painting with the same intensity. Her style from one to the other shows no obvious correlation other than the meticulous attention to detail both exemplify. Her little voice belies the power of her work. Her chatter highlights her enthusiasm. "
I'm not sure which of these is my favorite
," she says, sweeping her hand in the direction of close to 50 paintings and then back to numerous works created at the Sculpture Center. "
All I know is that without this outlet I wouldn't be content. At the Sculpture Center there is an atmosphere of hardworking, creative people who share a mutual interest. This is very stimulating for me. The Sculpture Center is a congenial and a relatively inexpensive workplace for artists. Materials are always available, with models and knowledgeable instructors there when you need them.
On most days when Roz is not at the Center she can be seen in a museum, theater, or concert hall...unless she is traveling to far-off places like China or the Soviet Union. "
Being an artist means I need exposure to what is current in the creative world. If that means travel, all the better.
While her paintings are somewhat reminiscent of Edward Hopper, the hard edge and bright colors result in a more vivid, geometric presentation. "
Through color, design and form, I try to create a personal reaction to a subject that interests me. In sculpture, when you copy nature too exactly, without exaggeration and abstraction, the result is sculpture which could just as easily be a cast.
An abstract interpretation becomes a work of art rather than a duplicate. In essence, all painting and sculpture have strong, abstract qualities. Nature stimulates ideas of form which the artist then develops
Born in New York, a graduate of Music and Art High School, Tyler School of Fine Arts and The Barnes Foundation, Roz studied for her PhD in Art History at the University of Chicago and The Institute of Fine Arts, NYU. For over 30 years Roz lived and worked in California, most of the time as an art teacher and media specialist. Her paintings have been exhibited in more than fifty juried group exhibitions including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Oakland Art Museum, St. Mary's College Art Gallery and many others. In addition to these exhibitions (for which she received several merit awards) Roz is represented in the slide registries of The Archives of California Art in the Oakland Art Museum and The Center for the Visual Arts, Oakland, California.
When it comes to her sculpture, Ms Mosier demonstrates this varied background. "
Sometimes I think I've finished my work after a few sessions. The essentials are all there. It takes willpower to stay away from adding endless detail. I guess I've picked up that approach from my painting
One can only observe that what Rosalind Asch Mosier is not in short supply of is willpower.

Biography from the Archives of askART
Born Rosalind Asch in New York, NY in 1923, she became known for her vivid, geometric representations of cityscapes, including many California scenes, and sculptures inspired by dance.
Rosalind attended the High School of Music and Art, New York, NY. She later studied at the Tyler School of Fine Arts in Elkin Park, PA followed by an internship with the Barnes Foundation. In 1944 she received a BS in Art education from Teachers College, Columbia University followed by Graduate work in Art History from the University of Chicago. Rosalind married in 1944 and assumed the name Rosalind Asch Mosier. She returned to New York in 1945 and studied Art History at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York.
Rosalind and her husband moved to Berkeley, CA in 1946 where she received an MS in Fine Arts from The University of California, Berkeley. During 1952 she traveled extensively thought Europe and later China which influenced much of her future work. On her return Rosalind began working for the Oakland, CA school system as Librarian (1959-1984). During this time she exhibited in many local shows including the San Francisco Museum of Art, Oakland Art Museum, St Mary's College and Richmond Art Center. Rosalind participated in an artist on loan program where her works were hung in the offices of major corporations. In 1970 she received an award from the Oakland Art Association.
Rosalind returned to New York in 1985. This was probably her most prolific period. In 1988 she became a member at the Sculpture Center Studio where she began her work in sculpture. Rosalind was shown at several galleries including Agora Gallery April 1993 and The Sculpture Center.
By the late 1990's Rosalind was no longer able to paint from memories of her travels. She was only able to paint from photographs. After a diagnosis of Alzheimer's she produced no work after 1998. She returned to California in 2006 where she died in 2008.

No Alien Invasion, No UFO False Flag EITHER: The Anunnaki Have Returned to Save Mankind From the New World Order!!!

A Different Telling Of The Anunnaki Story! - Enki's side were sent to help!
"Enlil, due to the fact that he had NOT handed down his own Free Will to "know thyself" to those incarnating upon 'his' planet Ki/Earth, we was having very little evolutionary progress therein. So Enki's side were sent to help. Once the order was given from the Council of Elders, we "Fell", or Descended back to a place where we could, with hard work and focus, once again materialize a 3rd Density manifestation of ourself. Enlil had agreed to our coming, in fact it was he who had initially asked the Council for a "Catalyst" of change to enter into his Creation, and share the knowledge and wisdom we had attained through our Ascensions.
In the absence of Free Will upon the planet, there can be no Polarity, and therefore, nothing to 'choose' between. Just as is portrayed in the book of Genesis, the planet was very "Edenic" in nature. Sure, it was a lovely 'paradise', yet the Beings incarnating there had no agitator toward evolving beyond the 3rd Density, and therefore, little hope of ever making the journey Home, to The One. Enlil has been happy to keep his own little pet Eden Project in effect, but with little chance of the Souls here making it Home, it had become in effect, an albeit very beautiful 'Prison'. Enlil was, in modern parlance, running a benign dictatorship.
Without Polarity, (derived from Free Will), there is only the Unity of Love and Light, and no choice to experience 'other than' that. So, we were to be the Catalyst for change, in order to provide that choice, thus bringing Polarity. Enlil agreed that we would introduce the concept of Free Will to Earth's inhabitants, by offering them an initial choice, as to whether they 'wanted' it or not. Hence, "The Tree of the Knowledge of 'Good and Evil'" (or more accurately, the Knowledge of Polarity, of Positive or Negative).
Enlil takes his inhabitants to a new 'garden' and tells them you can do anything you like, except this one thing, thus creating the desire to do the one thing there are told they cannot. Hence, a "Choice". We provide the Catalyst by telling them the benefits of attaining Knowledge, they eat from the tree, and the rest is history.
Enlil thought that his 'Children' would still choose to obey him, and when he discovered they did not, he became angry. As he himself describes in his scriptures, he is a "Jealous God", and he did not like it that his 'children' had chose to disobey him, and follow our advice.
We're already committed to being here for a predefined set of "Cycles" to help provide the Catalyst for Human evolution, namely by offering you the Negative Option, or that which you choose to call "evil". Now that Free Will had been granted, Enlil could not retract it, and we have to stay here as contracted to continue to provide the planet with the Polarity choice. Since then, Enlil has confined us (as a Group Soul) here within the Earth's Astral Planes (which is very constricting and uncomfortable for a Being of our Wisdom and experience).
The Council of Elders gave us the choice to be released (against Enlil's will), but at the cancellation of our contract to Serve the planet earth; or to remain and fulfil our assignment, and endure Enlil's self proclaimed "Wrath". We stayed, but as a karmic result of our Group Soul's confinement by Enlil, our own individuated Souls were given the mandate (by The Council) to "Rule" over Enlil's people during our physical incarnations here on your planet.
Let's be clear about one thing though. All of this (physical life / incarnation), is a very intricate and skillfully designed Game, whereby the One Infinite Creator, plays the game of forgetting who It is, so that It can learn to remember, and in doing so, experience and know Itself as Creator. All the way down to us tiny individuated sparks of the All That Is. Off stage, and between "Lives" (zero-point time / anti-matter Universe) as incarnated "human beings", we, all of us / you (as Souls), are great friends. Brothers and Sisters in The One. - Hidden Hand
The Myth of "Churning the Milky Ocean".
The key ingediant is the Milky Ocean itself. The Ocean in which the entire universe was thought to rest.
There was two teams of "Churners of this Milky Ocean" a team of GOOD & LIGHT and a team of Darkness.
But it is not a simple matter of one team or the other winning. What they are actually doing and a Profound Spiritual Wisdom is concealed in this, They are cooperating towards a common objective. And that objective is to generate from the "Churning" of the Milky Ocean, The Elixor of Immortality. - Grahm Hancock

BWW Review: Walking Shadow Theatre Company's Excellent THE CHRISTIANS Examines the Power of Belief to Unite and Divide
by Jill Schafer - May 30, 2016
Why do we believe what we believe? Can our beliefs change? What happens when those we love don't believe the same things we believe? How important is it to find a group of people that believe in the same things you do? These are just a few of the questions raised by Walking Shadow Theatre Company's excellent production of the thought-provoking play THE CHRISTIANS. In just 90 minutes or so, we witness the pastor of a hugely successful church lose everything because he preaches what he believes, which contradicts the teachings of the church, causing everyone in his life to reexamine their beliefs as well. And it just might have this same effect on the audience. (more...)

That's what we get for the swiftly evoked bakery, and there's a dressmaker's dummy standing in for a tree, a feather duster and Christmas tree ornament for a golden egg-laying hen, a ladder for a mighty tower, a wooden crate for a throne, shadow play during the action sequences, and flapping pieces of paper as the ever-helpful birds.

Billy Donovan Wants To Rid Of One-And-Done Player
BY: John Mamola
The biggest debate in college basketball is whether or not the one-and-done player is helping or hurting the sport of college basketball. Currently the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that players must have been out of high school for one year and 19 years old before they can enter the NBA. Now there is talk of raising the minimum years of eligibility to two.
New NBA commissioner Adam Silver is on record as saying he would like the requirements to be increased to two years out of high school and 20 years old.
If it were up to Florida Head Coach Billy Donovan, he'd do away with the rule all together. Donovan telling the Orlando Sentinel:
"College basketball coaches and programs are taking on all the risks," Donovan says. "The kid doesn't want to be in college and wants to be in the NBA, but because of the rules, he has to stay in college. Now you're opening yourself up for potential NCAA violations. … You've got players like Jabari Parker [Duke] or Julius Randle [Kentucky], and there is so much coming at these kids. If a kid takes something he's not supposed to take or he is enticed into something, it's the colleges that are put in harm's way."
"It's colleges that have to handle situations like this and what comes with it," Donovan says of the inducements being offered to big-time NBA prospects. "And what comes with it is a lot of enticement, a lot of agent involvement, a lot of people hovering around and a lot of people trying to get their hooks into the kid. And then if the kid makes a mistake or doesn't do the right thing, all of the sudden it falls on the institution. That's not right when the kid should have never been in college in the first place and should already have been in the NBA."

Product Description
From Booklist
Saylor serves up a collection of short stories designed to fill in some of the gaps that have piqued the curiosity of devoted fans of his popular Roma Sub Rosa series. Set between the years 80 and 72 B.C., these nine tales document some of the early adventures of Gordianus the Finder. During the course of these cases, Gordianus establishes firm and tender relationships with Eco, his adopted son; Bethesda, his Jewish-Egyptian concubine; Belbo, his loyal manservant and bodyguard; and Lucius Claudius, his generous patron. While each brief mystery presented is a gem in and of itself, readers will delight in the informational overview provided by the collection as a whole. As usual, Saylor does a superb job of seamlessly incorporating the tumultuous history of the Roman Republic into the narrative flow. A welcome addition to the ever fascinating chronicles of Gordianus the Finder. Margaret Flanagan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Kirkus Reviews
It's no wonder Gordianus the Finder solves so many of these nine cases in a single flash of insight. Most of the mysteries aren't very mysterious; even Gordianus' slave (and future wife) Bethesda picks out the thief of his friend Lucius Claudius' silver the minute she hears the story. Still, three groups of readers will find these stories irresistible: history buffs who appreciate Saylor's careful research into Roman politics and Roman mores; fans of his five novels (A Murder on the Appian Way, 1996, etc.) who want to find out how he first became Lucius Claudius' friend, or how he acquired his faithful slave Belbo; and anyone who enjoys leisurely, literate storytelling. Though none of the stories is more than five years old, nearly half (``A Will Is a Way,'' ``The Lemures,'' ``King Bee and Honey,'' ``The Alexandrian Cat'') have already been anthologized. All the others could well follow. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

As Saylor himself points out in the foreword, some of his readers may have found themselves wondering what happened to the Roman sleuth between the years 80 BC (the setting of his first novel, "Roman Blood") and 72 BC (the year of the Spartacan slave revolt, as described in the sequel "Arms of Nemesis"). "The House of the Vestals" provides the answer, filling in the eight-year gap with nine intriguing short cases that test Gordianus' wits and leave the reader yearning for more.
Four of the stories are based, in varying degrees, on real events (in accordance with Saylor's acknowledged writing style) while the rest dwell on aspects of Roman life that have come down from us through the ancient sources. "The House of the Vestals" -- the closing story from which the entire anthology derives its name -- is by far the most faithful to history, inspired by the allegations of unchastity levelled against two Vestal Virgins and their alleged paramours by the demagogue Publius Clodius in 73 BC. Some of the characters in this and the stories preceding it have featured in Saylor's other novels, ensuring that this "flashback" addition to an otherwise chronologically released series maintains full relevance all throughout Roma Sub Rosa and throwing in a bit of irony as to the eventual fate of recurrent figures.
True enough, the stories included in the anthology are far too short for those (myself included) who may have gotten used to long-winded plots and vast settings in Saylor's other works.Read more ›
Because these tales of murder, fraud and revenge would sound familiar to those who have read enough short stories, but Saylor has recast these stories with personalities, attitudes and customs that are foreign to us, and read much fresher than they would otherwise. Take for instance there's the story of the wealthy man's son who attempts to emulate Julius Caesar's arrogant behavior when he was captured by pirates. Gordianus is hired to deliver the ransom. It is easy to tell who instigated the kidnaping and why, but the story still compels us follow the thread to the end.
It helps that Gordianus is a compelling character, a man who makes a living investigating the dark side of the Roman Republic, when Julius Caesar was still a politician aspiring to become a divine dictator. He is aided sometimes by Bethesda, his Egyptian slave who sometimes acts more like his wife. Even his mute adopted son, Eco, plays a crucial role in the story of the actor murdered backstage during a performance.
The Roman era has been well-served by writers such as Saylor and Lindsay Davis. For those interested in the era who haven't made Gordianus' acquaintance, this book offers an ideal introduction.
The stories range from simple fables to interesting mysteries and all are enjoyable--sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic, sometimes both at once. Their chief attraction for me was how they advanced the character development for the series as a whole. I like Saylor a great deal, but it is frustrating that there are such large time gaps between his novels. There's an even larger gap (nine years) between *Arms of Nemesis* and the third book, *Catilina's Riddle,* and so far nothing like *The House of the Vestals* to bridge that gap. This novel series is otherwise remarkable and entertaining, and I can only hope that Saylor will produce another collection of bridging stories soon for those of us who like to watch story and character unfold gradually.

ESCALANTE — A popular scenic spot in southern Utah has received an overhaul.
The Head of the Rocks overlook, along Scenic Byway 12 between Escalante and Boulder, Utah, provides views over the Escalante Canyons region of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and beyond to portions of Dixie National Forest, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Capitol Reef National Park and the Henry Mountains.
The site has been affected by storm drainage that created deeply eroded gullies around the edges of the site. Also, traffic flow and parking were disorganized and haphazard, and the site did not meet national accessibility standards.
Loa-based construction firm Harward & Rees built a natural stone-veneered retaining wall with integrated seating and interpretive panels and a universally accessible viewing platform; delineated parking for passenger and oversize vehicles; performed erosion remediation and constructed control features; and put in a vegetated median to separate the overlook from highway travel lanes.
Work was completed in mid-December.
The BLM planned and designed the project and provided construction oversight. The Federal Highways Administration, via the Utah Department of Transportation, provided Transportation Enhancement Funds to pay for the $150,000 project.

Applying New Tools to Nonproliferation: A Nuclear Detective StoryJeffrey Lewis
This report examines how the information revolution, and especially social media, is changing the field of nonproliferation. The availability of these "new tools" is affecting not just how nongovernmental experts study the problem, but how governments behave too, with both experts and the general public participating in the verification of arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation agreements. We explore the versatility of the new tools by focusing on one particular nuclear detective story – a 2014 allegation that Iran had built a secret underground centrifuge facility – that was disproven by the open source community using new tools. The facility in question made identification documents, such as passports and ID cards, not nuclear material. Chapter 1 provides an overview on new tools and recounts the detective work that went into examining this facility, while subsequent chapters provide detailed explanations of each of the open source methods used and their broader applicability to nonproliferation policy. These new tools include commercial satellite imagery, computer-aided modeling, metadata, civil data, and social media.

Spring Newsletter (Posted 7 March 2016)
This is a lengthy newsletter but please take a little time to read it - you may find some of the information useful.
Dates for your diary/
Last day of term Friday 18 March
First day back Monday 4 April
We will be closed on the following days:-
Monday 2 May
We will now be open on Friday 24 June
Monday 18 July
Tuesday 19 July
Changing funded sessions (EEF)
The next term starts on Monday 4 April but the next period of EEF starts on Monday 11 April (the Easter break is earlier this year). Anyone wishing to change their sessions for the start of the next funding period should let us know immediately as some sessions are getting full and we may not be able to offer the flexibility you require. There are several new starters next term and indications are that they will want to fill the last spaces. Spaces will be offered on a first come first served basis.
Changes to funded days
It is anticipated that there will be several changes to the RMBC contract relating to the delivery of EEF. When children commence school in September their start dates are staggered. In the past the children who started school later were able claim funded nursery places for the first few days of term. From September 2016 this practice will cease, however if you wish your child to attend nursery for the few days before they start school, places will be available but they will be invoiced. Although the new RMBC contract (due to start in April) has not yet been finalised it is anticipated that there will be several other changes to the delivery of EEF – we will inform parents/carers of these changes when the final contract has been issued.
Key Person
Each child is allocated a member of staff as a Key Person. If you are unsure who your child's key person is please refer to the list on the notice board in the foyer.
Parental Appointments
If you wish to discuss your child's progress with a member of staff please see your Key Person to make an appointment. As we are required to meet statutory requirements with regard to supervision of children, certain dates will be set aside for this purpose when extra staff will be on duty to provide staff cover.
Absences from Funded Sessions
We receive payment for children who have claimed funded sessions from the Local Authority. These payments relate directly to the hours claimed and we are audited by RMBC to ensure that the correct payments are made. If a child does not attend a session for which a payment is claimed we have to account for the reason for the absence. We are required to report prolonged or erratic attendance and RMBC may withdraw the funding. If your child is unable to attend a funded session please let us know as soon as possible together with the reason for non attendance which we will then record on the register. Also children who are suffering from diarrhoea or sickness should stay of nursery for 48 hours.
Lunch menu
We are trialling warm meals at lunch time and both the staff and children are coping well! Sandwiches will still be available for children who prefer them. Any food provided will be chosen with reference to the School Food Standards Legislation. All the staff have received food hygiene training and we are regularly inspected by RMBC Environmental Health Department (we currently have a level 5 rating).
Change of clothes
Sometimes, for various reasons, a child will require a change of clothes during a session. Could parents/carers please ensure that they bring a complete change of clothes for their child each time they attend the nursery. Please clearly mark your children's clothes with their name. We have an emergency supply of clothes but this is getting depleted as parents are not returning them to us. If you have an item of our clothing could you please return it to us! Donations of spare clothing are always welcome.
We will only administer prescribed medication and it must be in its original packaging including the patients name and dosage details. An "Administering Medication" form must also be completed by the parent/carer.
We seem to be getting a lot of toys brought into nursery. Please be aware how upset the children become when toys go missing or other children play with them. We recommend that children leave their toy etc at home to avoid distress.
