"Introduction
In several speeches in 1989, the United States Surgeon General indicated that over 2 million women are physically assaulted by their spouses or partners each year (Geffner & Rosenbaum, 1990). The O.J. Simpson trial, despite its many sideshows, managed to place the issue of domestic abuse more firmly on the center stage of public discourse. The growing awareness of the seriousness of the domestic abuse problem has resulted in the legal system taking such cases more seriously. In addition to increased incarceration and punishment, many judges have begun referring men who abuse their partners in domestic abuse intervention programs. However, few studies have been made to assess the effectiveness of such programs. Those studies that have been conducted have only drawn weak..."

In today?s society it has become necessary for the criminal justice system to attempt to employ mores alternatives to the traditional prosecution of cases. It was from this need that Diversion Programs were born. These programs were set up to benefit both the offender and the criminal justice system.
There are several benefits for offenders that these diversion programs offer. It allows an eligible offender to be quickly evaluated and have intervention proceed. After identified as an eligible offender, personalized help can be offered. Help such as drug and alcohol counseling, medical care and different forms of education. Diversion also lessens the trauma to the offender, from an emotional and economic point of view, due to facing possible criminal prosecution.

Abstract
This paper examines the prevalence of breastfeeding through a critical literature review and the impact of a pro-breastfeeding education program delivered to expectant and new mothers. The paper also looks at how the information communicated through the education program can be enhanced through contact with peers, as peer mediation may potentially improve the subjects' acceptance of the information contained within the education program. The paper explains that breastfeeding is the traditional method of nourishing a child and is a physiological response to childbirth on the part of the new mother. The paper then points out that despite this naturally-occurring link between the new mother and her child, breast milk substitutes - commonly referred to as formula - were developed in the late 1950s and were increasingly marketed to new mothers through the 1980s as a superior means of nourishment. The paper shows that breastfeeding and the clinical trials related to the practice are of the utmost significance since the immediate and long-term well being of both mother and child depend on its success. The paper concludes that nurses play a major role in effective breastfeeding and need to be completely knowledgeable about appropriate and successful strategies.

From the Paper
"Research was ongoing during this time and the majority of credible information stressed that breastfeeding was sufficient in terms of the nutritional content required for infants. Additional benefits were also isolated: children who breastfed during infancy demonstrated enhanced immune systems and were less likely to succumb to childhood and adolescent illnesses (Cunningham, Jelliffe, & Jelliffe, 1991; Saarinen & Kajossaari, 1995); breastfeeding was linked to improved cognitive development in children; research even suggested that the emotional development and attachment abilities of the child were improved and that the child may demonstrate improved psychosocial stability as an adult (Lawrence & Lawrence, 2005) and that breastfeeding "yields health care savings by reducing illness events" (Ahluwalia et al, 2000; 85)."

"In the years leading to the construction and implementation of the hamlets several things were attempted in their place. From 1953 to 1959 the French and the GVN made early attempts to resettle populations to create secure zones. What this meant was that village people were supposed to belong to secure zones by which they would be protected from the fallout of military action."

From the Paper
"A mutual fund is a particular type of investment company. Specifically, a mutual fund is an open-end investment company. An open-end investment company is one that does not have a fixed amount of capital stock, and continues to sell additional shares to the public as demand warrants. As an open-end investment company, a mutual fund also repurchases the outstanding shares in the fund when such shares are surrendered by shareholders. The term mutual indicates that the investment company represents a mutual pooling of the investment funds of a large number of people who share in the outcome of the combined investment of those funds. The value of a share in a mutual fund is determined by the market value of the investment holdings of the mutual fund."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past few decades, juvenile delinquency has emerged as a significant criminal and sociological issue, raising concern among parents, educators, policy-makers and government officials alike. Juvenile delinquency has become a major crime issue in the United States; in California the public has been overwhelmed with stories from the media, providing graphic evidence of a crime wave generated by our youth who, according to media reports, prey upon a defenseless public. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention reports that on average, juveniles were involved in one-quarter of serious violent victimization annually over the last 25 years; juvenile offenders were known to be involved in about 1,100 murders in the U.S. in 2003; over 108,700 juveniles were in detention, correctional, or shelter facilities in 1995; and courts with juvenile jurisdiction disposed of more than 1.6 million delinquency cases in 2000."

From the Paper
"Unfortunately, programs like DARE do not appear to be working as well as hoped for the segment of society that they generally target. For example, a report from September of 2004 indicated that there was an increase in 2002 for treatment for substance abuse in those in the 12 to 17-year-old age group (Drug, 2004). This would indicate that these individuals are not remaining drug free, or they would not need to seek the assistance of a treatment program. According to many officials in the government, that continues to show a trend that has been evolving for over a decade. Between the years of 1992 and 2002 those in the 12 to 17-year-old age bracket that were admitted to any type of treatment program for substance abuse increased approximately 50 percent (Drug, 2004).

The Logic Model
Benefits of Using a Logic Model
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Planned Parenthood designed the logic model as a tool for visualizing new programs and preparing for evaluation. The objective of a teen pregnancy prevention program closely mirrors the format of a logic model. According to Julia Kohn of Planned Parenthood, a logic model is a visual representation of a program. It provides a simple description of the program theory and shows the relationship of what we put in (inputs), what we do (outputs), and what results (outcomes). A logical model depicts the "if-then" sequence of changes that a program intends to affect. The logic model is the core of program planning and evaluation. (Kohn 2008)."

From the Paper
"Overall, my experiences with my field placement agree with many of the points in Lederman and Mian's article. The Parent-Adolescent Relationship Education (PARE) curriculum in their article shares similarities with my practical experience at the Girls Inc. Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy program. For example, both programs focus strongly on the participant's social well-being, rather than simple sex education. My practical observations at the Girls Inc. Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy program validated Lederman and Mian's assertions that such social training can be effective in helping young girls. While Lederman and Mian's article validated my experiences at an academic level, it did not give me with a real understanding of the experiences of children."

Educational Mentoring Program in New York, 2004.
A procedural approach to developing a teacher mentoring program in a school.

Abstract
This paper deals with all of the essentials of creating a lasting teacher mentoring program. These essentials include goals, preparation, implementation, and program assessment. It also includes a template that was created by a mentor teacher in Los Angeles. This is a complete mentoring program description that can be used as a reference to implement mentoring programs in a district that does not have one. It even gives ways for administrators to assess the program and make suggested necessary changes based on that assessment. Every school's faculty and needs are different from the next, so this is just an overview for a general mentoring program. Once assessed, the program can be adjusted to fit the unique needs of districts.
From the Paper
"We will divide the current faculty into three sections in regards to mentoring: protege, developing, and mentor. The proteges are the new teachers who are the ones going through the mentoring process, the developing teachers are the ones who are past the stage of "new teacher" and are currently developing their skills, and the mentors are the teachers who have enough experience in the classroom and the district to successfully be a mentor. A good age would be seven years in the district (four years past tenure) before the teacher can be a mentor. To entice the mentors to actually mentor in the district, I have agreed to give them an extra period off in their schedules so that they may communicate with their protege or observe them."

Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.

Philosophy of Communication
Initial Considerations

Media Selection

Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

Children's Programs and Violence, 2004.
Questions whether children?s television programs are more violent
than adult programs.

Abstract
North American culture of 2004 was a media-rich one. In addition to the Internet and magazines, there were literally hundreds of television stations in nearly every home. This has led to heated debate over the prevalence of violence on television. The wealth of literature on violence in television indicates that this is a matter of great interest to social psychologists. Furthermore, the indication by some studies that violent children?s programming leads to violent behavior has fueled calls for greater oversight in the area of violence and aggression as it pertains to children?s TV. This study looks at the distinction between aggression and violence and examines the incidence of both in programs for children compared to programs for adults. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, Peters and Blumberg examined cartoon violence in particular (2002) and questioned whether the violent acts seen in cartoons should be interpreted as genuine violence, or a fantasy-based behavior with no relation to the real world. Because preschoolers watch so much television, largely cartoon shows, the issue of violence in cartoons, and its possible effects is also of interest. Peters and Blumberg point out that, ?the NTVS [National Television Violence Study] found that nearly two-thirds of serials for children contained violent acts.? (2002). They go on to mention that the cartoon genre ?anime?, popularized in Japan was an unusually violent (and popular) style of cartoon with children. This study on cartoon violence goes on to conclude that this may actually present a learning opportunity for parents who choose to co-view with their kids."

Abstract
This paper addresses the key issues regarding program evaluation, in an effort to determine its value to healthcare management. It also demonstrates how and why different approaches to program evaluation should be considered and how they can be most useful to managers.
The Basics of Program Evaluation
Benefits to Health Care
From the Paper
"Some managers believe that program evaluation holds little value, arguing that it often produces hoards of banal information with useless conclusions (McNamara, 1998). In the past, this was a major problem, as program evaluation methods were selected mainly on the basis of complete scientific accuracy, reliability and validity. This approach resulted in extensive data from which only scientifically accurate conclusions were drawn. For the most part, generalizations and recommendations were avoided in favor of facts."
