This 71-page evaluation report explores the initial 4-year cycle of the Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP), which was carried out by Health Alliance International (HAI) in 7 Districts in the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Launched in September 2004, the 4-year project (extended 1 year due to a balance of unexpended funds, and the procurance of a second grant), combined efforts with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve overall maternal health (including child spacing) and newborn care. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this was designed to respond to the demographic statistics of the country, which - according to 2006 United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) data - has the highest fertility rate in the world, a maternal mortality ratio of 660 per 100,000, and an infant mortality rate of 44 per 1,000 live births. Specific goals of this effort to improve health and reduce mortality and morbidity for mothers and infants included:
- improve the health policy environment and ensure national policies reflect the most up-to-date research in antenatal care, delivery care, and postpartum care;
- support cross-cutting areas such as information collection and supervision tools; expand the capacity of the district and health facility to deliver maternal and child health (MCH) services; and
- improve selected behaviours among the community with a focus on the following goals: 70% of pregnant women will receive antenatal care; at least 30% of women will deliver with a skilled provider; and 45% of newborns will exclusively breastfeed for 6 months.
The intervention mix of the 4-year period evaluated here combined community-level health promotion activities and health system strengthening. The strategies focused on training, behaviour change, materials development, and community outreach. These strategies were implemented under the overarching strategy of embedding all activities within the national framework and on the national implementation schedule. The project also invested in human resource development and systems strengthening, with an emphasis on supervision and use of data for programme decisions. For example, the supportive supervision portion of the intervention included modeling positive behaviour, developing a supervision check list that helps to guide the interaction, and providing logistical support of vehicles and fuel. HAI technical staff, already trained in essential newborn care, now conduct joint postpartum care visits with district counterparts and demonstrate the skills necessary to promote newborn health. In addition, the modules for training are ready to be used as soon as the Ministry is able to prioritise the training.
Key messages in HAI materials included a major film, which is detailed within Annex 1 of the report ("The Role of Video in Behavior Change"). HAI's baseline study of maternal health practices in Timor-Leste found a strong preference for home births and lack of appreciation for the need for skilled birth attendants. These were among the behaviours that HAI hoped to change using a vigorous media campaign as its strategy to educate the larger community on good health practices. The culturally relevant film was the centrepiece of the campaign, reflecting key messages that also are presented via other modes; it was made available to communities through facilitated public screenings. Specifically, "HAI engaged Max Stahl, a renowned international film maker, to create the film Feto Nia Funu, The Women's War. His film team comprised young Timorese and they built a foundation of trust and understanding with the subjects, gaining extraordinary access to shoot scenes of women giving birth. Using a film-maker of such a caliber elevated the interest in the film and provided immediate credibility. HAI engaged a local NGO [non-governmental organisation] to screen the film and to provide follow-up discussion groups for the community to clarify the key messages. At present, HAI has shown the film to over 8,000 adults...[and] over 3,000 children have seen the film out at the district level....Despite the need to cut some of the scenes to conform to Timorese experience, this film remains a very valuable tool for both education and discussion."
An excerpt from the Conclusions and Recommendations section follows:
"During this evaluation, it became apparent that HAI has achieved the status of being an external agent of the MOH in implementing the national health platform. HAI has been invited to provide technical assistance and support to every major health initiative promoted by the Ministry....As a partner with USAID and the government of Timor-Leste, HAI has been an able agent for creating positive change and meeting the objectives of improving maternal health in Timor-Leste. Because of the intensity of its process and the practice of working within the framework of national initiatives, HAI has been delayed in fully meeting its objective of improving newborn health...
Data from the KPC [Knowledge, Practice, and Coverage] survey done in June of 2008 indicates that HAI has met or exceeded most of their objectives, for example increasing the percent of mothers with children age 0-23 months who received one or more antenatal care visit from 50% to 82% and more than doubling the percentage of women who deliver with a skilled attendant from 15% to 32%. An objective that still needs further pursuit is the distribution of Vitamin A, which achieved 44% rather than the targeted 60%, but which did demonstrate a positive trend since baseline was 28%.
Results for indicators of improved newborn care were of a mixed nature. Exclusive breastfeeding was reported by 68% of women who had an infant less than 6 months of age, far exceeding the target of 45%. Results were distressing for the other indicator of improved newborn care, recognizing signs of newborn illness. Out of a target of 50% of mothers, only 2% of mothers could cite three or more serious symptoms of newborn illness warranting consultation with a health professional. However, fully 88% of mothers were able to identify at least one sign, with fever the sign most frequently reported. This gap was likely the result of the project's lack of success in getting district midwives trained in newborn care...
...HAI can attribute its program interventions progress to the following:
- Development and funding of the Maternal Child District Program officer position within the national health staffing structure.
- Development of key reproductive health and maternal child messages including the use of skilled providers, immediate and exclusive breast feeding and seeking antenatal care.
- Through field research, careful assessments of health facilities, anthropological beliefs influencing birth outcomes, and Emergency Obstetric Capacity, among others.
- Innovative media for transmitting messages, including two films and one street drama, as well as a host of radio spots and the photo cards.
...Best practices for the project include the following:
- Careful selection of senior technical staff and investment in the development of their skills; making senior staff a resource available to the Ministry of Health.
- Accepting direction, guidance and pacing from government counterparts, even at the risk of slowing program implementation. Ultimately, the payoff was that each of HAI's efforts became part of the national fabric instead of being parallel activities.
- Research and assessments completed, including extensive community consultation, before developing the materials used in health messages and clinical standards.
- Extensive use of videography and photos as the most appropriate medium for transmitting health messages when appropriately reinforced by trusted sources.
Based on these findings and the assessment of data available, some key recommendations are...
- Rethink the approach to district representation for the delivery of technical assistance...HAI is extremely lean in its organizational structure. With the expected continued emphasis on district level, they might need to consider supporting the placement of more staff at the district level. The staff...should have clinical and technical skills necessary to provide support to the counterparts.
- Increase advocacy at the national level for ownership of the proposed newborn interventions. Despite sound technical assistance and multiple proposals for various kinds of newborn interventions, including training and materials development, it appears there is not yet be a significant level of ownership for the newborn program. HAI has already begun to address this through field based modeling of technical skills but also need to persist in raising this with the Ministry...
- Continue the integration of the reproductive health and maternal health programs and continue to emphasize the need for child-spacing as part of antenatal and post-natal care. Consider refining the target audiences as many older women (>35) already have basic knowledge about contraceptive methods because of the Indonesia programs, while many younger women who became of reproductive age post-Independence, have more limited knowledge and a greater fertility horizon.
- Develop communication materials to help with the group discussions after showing the film A Woman's War. Most of the informants feel this film is making a real difference in knowledge of the good health practices surrounding pregnancy and delivery. HealthNet, who has aired the film in four districts, feels that there should be a three month post-screening follow-up to reiterate the messages. They also feel that there should be materials available that facilitate the viewing experience...clarifying any misperceptions after viewing the film...
- Ensure opportunities within HAI to provide senior level skills development for national staff...
- Reassess the roles and functions of Country Director...
- Determine the best way that HAI can contribute to the national data base and HMIS [Health Management Information Services...
- Obtain approval and a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Health...
- HAI should ensure that professional staff are equipped with a lap-top...
... HAI will take these recommendations and lessons learned and share them with the greater development community...
...Because all of its materials and program efforts take place within the national development channels, the program is inherently scaleable...
In conclusion, HAI has run a tightly focused but flexible project that has improved the status of maternal/newborn health in Timor-Leste..."

Elian And Saul: A "pro-immigrant" puzzler
By: Daniel Clark
Elvira Arellano says that "comprehensive immigration reform" is needed to prevent the breakup of families like her own. Arellano is an "immigration rights activist," which is what the media call an illegal alien who had been arrested for using a fraudulent Social Security number. When she was deported, she opted to leave her 8 year-old American-born son, Saul, behind in the states, although she could just as easily have taken him with her back to Mexico. As scripted, her fellow activists are now demanding that she be allowed to return, supposedly for the sake of reuniting with her child.
Strange, but last time we heard about a small Latin American boy who was in the U.S., and separated from his parent, the liberal-approved solution was to return Elian Gonzalez to Cuba at gunpoint. It was not to have his father remain here with him, and it was certainly not to allow Elian to stay in America with a surrogate family, as Saul is now doing. In order to understand the purpose of this double-standard, it is important to consider the media's treatment of the nations involved in these respective incidents.
Cuba and Mexico are both impoverished countries, but during the Elian episode, the media informed us that Cuba's poverty was good. They told us that children are better off growing up in Cuba than in the United States, because of our decadent American culture. A boy's life in Cuba, we were led to believe, was just like a never-ending Our Gang comedy, but without the fat kid. At that time, poverty meant simplicity and virtue.
That being the case, it was the very fact of America's prosperity that made it a corruptive influence. Uncle Sam played the role of the devil on Elian's shoulder, tempting him with DisneyWorld, Coca-Cola, and various other products of successful and therefore sinister corporations. Fidel Castro gladly played along with this theme, by commissioning a statue of a Cuban schoolboy discarding a Superman action figure.
The media openly showed contempt for the Cuban expatriates in Little Havana, who had been so ungrateful for all of their "free" government services they'd left behind. To have abandoned the People's Island Paradise to come to this den of iniquity, they must have been either twisted by greed, or else just plain crazy. About Elian's mother, who died while trying to escape with him to Miami, ABC reporter Jim Avila besottedly wondered, "Why did she do it? What was she escaping?"
There have been no such questions about Elvira Arellano. That's because Mexico's poverty, unlike Cuba's, is bad. Not only is it understood why someone would break our immigration laws in order to get out of Mexico, but it's expected and even condoned. Whereas America has nothing of value to offer Cubans, it is a panacea to Mexicans, and one to which they are entitled. The way a liberal sees it, Mexicans must be poor because Americans are wealthy; therefore, we owe them.
More often than not, discussions about illegal immigration start from the premise that the illegal aliens themselves are entirely blameless, as if their violating our immigration laws resulted from an involuntary muscular action. Indeed, the surest way to have your opinion dismissed is by refusing to admit that you, too, would become an illegal alien, if only you had the chance. For them to sneak across our borders and commit identity fraud is seen as if it were just as natural as bees being
drawn to nectar.
It logically follows that Cubans would likewise be instinctively driven toward American soil, which should make them equally deserving of compassion from those who call themselves "pro-immigrant." For every liberal activist who is now protesting the contrived "breakup" of Saul and his mother, there ought to be throngs of them taking to the streets every time we send a boatload of Cubans back to the totalitarian prison state they had defied death to escape.
The reason why that doesn't happen is because it would represent a defeat for Castro in his "Battle of Ideas," and would thus serve America's purposes. It does not help America, on the other hand, to pursue an anti-assimilation open borders policy that threatens to Balkanize our society. Therein lies the one constant in American liberals' treatment of the Arellanos and the Gonzalezes. They want to give amnesty to illegal aliens because that result is diametrically opposed to our national interest, and they want to turn away victims of Castro's persecution for the same reason.

I stand corrected...
Last night, at dinner, one of the many topics that came up was the huge brawl the other night in the WNBA. For my two cents I have always considered the WNBA the Women's Non-Basketball Association. And, during dinner last night, I made the mistake of saying that the big fight in the WNBA "might be the only thing I am less interested in watching than the actual WNBA." Then, a few hours ago, I saw this story regarding a free agent signing in the league. If this trend continues then perhaps there is still hope that I could see Bob Cousy play in person...

Afflicted and Conflicted
Saturday was a great day for MMA...or at least it was SUPPOSED to be a great day for MMA. First, there was the long-awaited debut of the new Affliction organization - featuring a card that was being billed as the "greatest" heavyweight line up ever assembled. Well...the greatest heavyweight was certainly there - just ask Tim Sylvia, if he can speak coherently by now. It was a long time since Fedor Emelianenko had fought, and there were some who were concerned that he might be rusty. But he turned out to be as rusty as a 2009 Camaro. For those with short memory spans, the Affliction fight card was all it was expected to be. But for those who remember the slew of washed up, overweight, and uninspiring heavyweights that came before the Fedor fight...well, it was a different story entirely.
To combat the hype behind the Affliction fight, UFC President Dana White rolled out a free event on Spike featuring Anderson "Spider" Silva - probably the only fighter in the world in any weight class that can rival Emelianenko's explosive dominance (my apologies George St. Pierre and B.J. Penn). Again, the undercard was dominated by utterly forgettable match ups - including a horrendous ending to the one fight all night that was actually worth watching - Kevin Burns and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. But, by the time Anderson - now fighting up an entire weight class - entered the ring against James "Sandman" Irvin, nothing earlier really mattered all that much. In what seemed like a matter of miliseconds, Silva caught a kick attempt from Irvin in mid-air, held the leg, and dropped a bomb on Irvin's face that ended the fight - and any chance he had of ever making the cover of GQ Magazine.
So...the two megastars held up their ends of their respective bargains, but the overall impact of the night fell well short of expectations. Fedor now awaits a fight with Randy Couture that might never happen with the current contract dispute between "The Natural" and the UFC. And Silva awaits any opponent who might actually stand a chance against him in the Octagon - which might actually be less likely to happen than Fedor-Couture. Silva is taking dominance to a new level in the UFC, and he is doing it with a level of class and showmanship that makes him one of the single most exciting athletes in all of sports right now - as well as one of the easiest to root for.
Saturday didn't take MMA to any new levels, that much is certain. But the good news is that MMA is going strong enough that it will still prosper in spite of what failed to materialize on Saturday. Especially the more we see of Fedor and Spider Silva.

Life After Packer
Consider these facts...I'm a huge college basketball fan - it is my favorite sport and has been for most of my life.� I'm not yet 34 years old.� Therefore, even with just that granule of information, the following statement is completely safe to make:
I have NEVER experienced a Final Four that did NOT include Billy Packer.
That is pretty phenomenal when you think about it.� I've heard countless broadcasts teams take on the 20+ Superbowls I have witnessed.� Between BCS games and the days when different bowls determined the college football National Championship, who knows how many different broadcasters were involved.� The World Series? The NBA Finals? The Olympics? Again, more different faces and voices than I could ever hope to remember.
But not Final Fours.� Final Fours are easy to recount - because Billy Packer has been involved in every single one of them during my lifetime.� I don't care whether you love him, hate him, or could care less about him - he IS the voice of the Final Four.� That, alone, demands an incredible level of respect.� Perhaps the admiration is optional, but the respect certainly is not.�
So, as the weeks until March slowly disappear, it will be a weird feeling.� Sure I am very comfortable with Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg - though it will be very different to have Clark on the sidelines instead of in the studio.� He has energy, he has enthusiam, he has experience and he has insight.� But we still can't be sure what we are getting from him, and we won't know until late March.� That's a strange feeling - and a very foreign one for college basketball fans in my demographic.
More than anything, Billy Packer was comfortable.� He was the old chair that you knew you could replace, but that you kept because you knew - if nothing else - you would always be able to sit in it comfortably.� There was very little risk involved, and you were OK with it.� It was like choosing to approach the girl who is a 7 out of 10 instead of a 9.� Who wouldn't want a 9...but it was easier to work up the nerve to face off with a 7.� And there was no shame - no shame at all - in spending your time with that 7.
Maybe this Selection Sunday will feature more pleasant banter than the last few.� Perhaps the color commentary on the tournament games won't be so rigid and critical.� Heck, we might even get the feeling that the broadcast team is ENJOYING the Final Four this year, after many recent years where it wasn't that obvious.� But don't be surprised if - at several points during the 2009 Final Four - you don't start to miss that old chair at least a little bit.

CLEVELAND -- Tito DeJesus has been friends with Ariel Castro for 20 years. They played in bands together and took road trips for shows. He was one of Castro's better friends, but he'd only been over to Castro's house three times and never off the ground floor.
"Little did I know that Gina and the other 2 girls were there," DeJesus said. "I had no clue. It's not like I was looking for clues, but he never talked about his personal life. He was a loner. Never in the 20 years I knew him, did I see him with a woman. Always alone."
Tito and Ariel played together locally at Belinda's Nightclub, where owner Bill Perez remembers a happy-go-lucky Castro. He said he never drank too much and was frequently late.
"An indication now, when I look back maybe because of what was going on and he had to make sure everything was set. He would let nobody in the house. They'd go pick him up and he'd say wait outside for me," Perez said.
Castro freelanced in several bands, and was considered one of the best bass players around. DeJesus recalls a self conscious person. He said Castro worried about his bald spot and was seldom seen without a hat.
"Suited up, looking young, playing the bass, smiling. Nobody knew at the time that he had these girls in his house. How could you know?" asked DeJesus.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Our Teacher of the Week teaches high school math at Stanton College Preparatory School. Dot Kelly has been teaching for 40 years and said it's the only job she's ever wanted to do.
Kelly teaches Algebra I and Algebra II, and after four decades of teaching she's developed her own style to make sure her students get it.
"It's a different type of teaching and I really try hard to keep them involved and engaged the entire period," she said.
Tenth grader Darina Enriquez nominated Kelly for Teacher of the Week.
"Ms. Kelly is a very patient teacher and I thought this would be a great way to show my gratitude for her to be such a great teacher," said Enriquez.
A little 'thank you' goes a long way.
"I'm filled up right now because it means so much to me to know one of my students thought that much of me to go to the trouble to nominate me. It's an honor," said Kelly.
During National Teacher Appreciation Week, it's a great lesson for all students to stop and thank their teachers for all they do.
"This is where we learn everything for the future so we greatly appreciate everything they do for us," said Enriquez.
Kelly has no plans to retire any time soon infact she says, she's going for 50.

So far so good, we finally got in and the stage is setup just like last time, same desk, same podium, same signs, lets see if the news is the same. They should be starting in a few minutes, but we'd bet anything it won't kick off on time.
5:04PM - It's getting quite, here we go!
Andy Parsons from - Blu-ray Disc Association/Pioneer takes the podium and kicks things off.
He introduces the panel which includes; Steve Beeks - Lionsgate, Ron Sanders - Warner Home Video, Bob Chapek - Walt Disney studios, David Bishop - Sony Pictures, and Danny Kaye - Twentieth Century Fox. Andy makes a joke about how Ron is the man who everyone actually wants to talk to, everyone laughs.
5:07PM - The first slide shows that every week and every month Blu-ray Disc outsold HD DVD, but we already knew that,
Andy. Next up is the global market, which is 2:1 as well or 66/34. Hardware sales which includes PS3 give them a 85% share internationally.
Studio market share is strongly in Blu-ray's favor, with 68.4% while HD DVD only has 22.8% exclusivity.
5:09PM - Danny Kaye from Fox takes the podium, and thanks Andy for "setting up the situation."
They are predicting to sell another 2 million stand-alone devices and 3 million PS3s. So by the end of 2008, they expect to have 10 million Blu-ray play back devices.
During 2007 there was about 170M in disc sales. But in 2008, they expect to see 1 billion -- man we wish we could remember what they were trying to hit last year.
Looking back at VHS and DVD sales through, they put up a nice chart which shows an inflection point, which they say happens about he same time, in the third or fourth year. This helps sustain growth in home entertainment.
5:13pm - David Bishop from Sony pictures takes the podium and points out that the PS3 will continue to use bundled titles to help tell everyone that the PS3 is a Blu-ray player. Up until now the focus as been on early adopters, but now they are moving on to everyone, and that is what interactive features are all about.
5:16pm - David reminds us of all the interactive features we saw earlier today and goes on repeating what we already saw.
5:19pm - Bob Chapek, from Walt Disney, takes the podium and brings up all the issues we know too well about confusion about HDTV.
The BDA has been setting in store demos, educational discs. The most successful was the Disney magical Blu-ray tour. Now for a video of the reaction of the magical Blu-ray tour. A story from khcw.com is being shown on the big screens. Bob says there are plenty of clips like this from all over the country, but we don't remember seeing one before.
The tour kicks off again in Toronto, then goes to Nashville, Denver, Palm Beach Fl, as well as a few other markets. We leaves by wishing us a happy "blu" year and introduces Ron Sanders from Warner.
5:25PM - Ron says 2008 started out pretty exciting for Blu-ray. He gives a summary of the advertising during 2007, including our favorite channel, HDNet. More recently "The Future is Blu" and "I do blu" campaigns were also touted. "The Future is blu" commercial is shown, which we've all seen a few times.
Awareness has climbed to 80% of those surveyed, say they know the brand.
5:28PM - Steve Beeks, president of Lionsgate takes the podium to finish it off. Goes over the goals of the BDA, which is expected to be a watershed year in the adoption of Blu-ray. He is very confident that the market has decided. Steve is really driving home the same stats that he seems to believe really prove the format war is over. He quotes the LA Times, which evidently proclaimed the "format war is over." Blah, blah, blah lots of the same, look at the past, we all need to work together -- ok, Steve, we get it. Again he says "the consumers have made the choice" and that the end of the format war is clear and in the word of Tommy Lasorda, "go blu."
Questions time!
Q. The problem is the price of the machine, who can afford the price of the machines, what are you going to do to reduce the price?
A. Andy reminds us that pricing is up to individual companies, not up to the BDA. He says we don't do coupons, in fact we try to sneak up on everyone else.
Q. Bill from the Digital Bits asks Does Warners decision decision carry over to new line and HBO, and does the switch have anything to do with BD+.
A. No, not really, it was the consumer choice.
Q. Any chance there will be a HD DVD trade in program for Blu-ray.
A. David Bishop, said not at this time.
Q. How will you try to educate consumers that early adopters can't take advantage of new features?
A. Andy says bonus view is new, but prefers not to call it profile 1.1. He goes on to explain that in the DVD world the same thing happened, and people are accustomed to technology developing and the functionality of their players doesn't change. The name "bonus view" is to help them know its a new feature so people can check the disc before they bring it home.
Q. How will you educate smaller markets?
A. We will as soon as we can, but we are starting with the larger market.
Q. Can we start talking about the Blu-ray recorders.
A. Again, Andy says it's up to the manufacturers, and the DVR is very popular.
A. He says to see Universal now and if we all asked they might change their mind.
Q. What if Toshiba, Universal and Paramount don't go blu. How do you convince consumers the war is over?
A. The market will decide.
Q. Was there a Warner pay off?
A. Ron says "I wish". He says any pay off would've been a drop in the bucket so the decision was not related to any payoffs.
Q. How about a DVD/Blu-ray combo disc?
A. Danny says not to sacrifice space or technology so if you really have to, they could bundle a DVD.
Q. With Blu-ray the aparent winner, are we going to see more catalogue titles?
A. Bob says Song of the South won't be covered here today, but one of the pinnacle moments was when we decided to bring out Snow White, which signaled it was mass market, since this was a most cherished title. This time they are releasing Snow White this October. "And what's the price point Bob?" "Wow" -- and as a result we know where this is going. David Bishop says most of the panel lived through DVD and just like that, they look at the core and try to release products that are valuable to them.
Q. Will region coding be made any clearer on the packages, given that it isn't clear, there is the risk that if someone is traveling they could buy the wrong title. Andy says he's waiting for the question. What do the lawyers say abou this? Using this to prevent trading freely internationally?
A. Andy "Ron you what to handle this?" Ron says, "no" "Does anyone want to take it or take it offline, "that's what happened last year, "David says, "ok we'll solve it next year."
Q. Any chance of Direct stream digital?
A. Andy says the spec is already created and they don't want to break it. But we wonder how this is different then adding BD Live now?
Q. DBStalk.com Tom Robertson, is it a global exclusivity?
A. Ron says "yes"
That's it no more question, Andy thanks us for coming.

A jury deciding the fate of a 23-year-old man accused of murdering a pair of Pontiac women over a counterfeit $10 bill was sent home for the night following a day of deliberations.
Arnold Howard, 23, is accused of first-degree murder in the Feb. 17 deaths of Loretta Fournier, 52, and Luann Robinson, 57. The two women, both physical therapists, were found dead in the home they shared on Pingree.
Howard stood trial with co-defendant Semaj Moran, 17, but the two had separate juries in Oakland County Circuit Court.
Morans jury returned a verdict Friday morning, but it was sealed until Howards jury returns its verdict.
Prosecutors say the women had earlier purchased marijuana from Moran, and he believed one of the bills was fake. Moran was 16 at the time and was charged as an adult.
If convicted, Howard faces life in prison without parole. Morans potential sentence is less clear. In recent months, the U.S. Supreme Court and a federal judge have ruled it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without parole. The judge, however, could sentence him to any number of years up to life.

Late in the afternoon, on Monday November 25th, NFL.com writer Mike Silver broke the story that Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner was facing a one-year suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug (PED) policy for the second time in as many years. He also reported multiple times that the Seahawks will move on without Browner, implying that the suspension had already been handed down and the appeal had been heard. The problem with Silver's reports were that he only got one thing right; Browner was facing a one-year suspension. It was not for PEDs. The Seahawks had not decided to move on without Browner. The appeal had not been heard, and the suspension had not yet been enforced. Many fans react to these mistakes by Silver as semantics. They say, "Who cares what it was for? He screwed the team again." That reaction misses a larger question. While it is clear that the media is holding players accountable for adhering to the NFL policies, who is ensuring that the media is held accountable for accuracy in their reporting? Their mistakes can cause significant harm to a player, to a team, to a coach, and to a franchise.
Silver not only got the original report wrong, but he got the amended report wrong as well:
If you're a Seahawks fan, the important thing to know is this: The team is moving on without Browner.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) November 25, 2013
ESPN also got it wrong:
Browner appeal for substance abuse policy already has been heard. Means he won't play again for Seahawks. Also a free agent in March
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) November 25, 2013
The standard, though, for reporters employed by the NFL should be higher. NFL.com is listed as the "Official Site of the National Football League." If the NFL is going to break news, it should come from flawless sources. Jay Glazer, who works for Fox, told me he triple sources every story before reporting it. That is how he has become known as the NFL media member that can be trusted. He does not have access to NFL employees the way people employed at NFL.com and NFL Network likely do. Even if those NFL.com media members do not have greater access, readers expect that news coming from that source is vetted. Every fan who downloaded the official NFL Mobile app got a news alert stating that Browner had violated the PED policy. When the league crest shows next to an alert coming from the NFL app, it should be something people can trust.
Pete Carroll has been unable to discuss the Browner suspension because there is a $500K fine for any NFL employee who discusses these matters. So coaches and players cannot discuss these confidential proceedings, but reporters employed by the NFL can? Not only is Silver allowed to report on the matter, but he is allowed to report incorrectly on it.
The letter of the law likely shows NFL.com or NFL Network as a subsidiary that is not held to the same rules in this regard. They should be. This is news coming from league-owned and operated properties. If the league really takes the confidentiality of these proceedings seriously, they should be able to find who is leaking the information to their employees and fine them accordingly. Otherwise, it appears that the NFL actually just wants players and coaches to be silenced while they puppeteer a propaganda machine.
I regret that the original report indicated that the Browner suspension was for a performance-enhancing substance. It has been corrected.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) November 25, 2013
The way the league runs their media properties now rewards people for breaking the news, not for getting the news right. They may claim that they need to operate in this fashion to compete with the likes of ESPN and other sports news businesses, but they should seriously reconsider that stance. Abandon all attempts to be first to report news. Focus completely on being the most reliable source of NFL news. Get it right, or do not report it.
Also from @mikesilver: Antoine Winfield will sign with Seahawks http://t.co/pXoKDbz64X
— NFL: AroundTheLeague (@NFL_ATL) November 25, 2013
No, Mike. That was not right either. Mistakes happen. We all make them. Mistakes that negatively impact the lives of people who are respecting the NFL confidentiality rules cannot go unpunished. The NFL must hold the members of its media group to the same standard that they hold players and coaches. Those are the people, after all, that make the shield worth protecting in the first place.

BLOOMFIELD— One of the great enigmas about Chaco culture is the Great North Road, according to Larry Baker, executive director of Salmon Ruins Museum and Heritage Park.
So in an effort to better understand the road, a team of students from Eastern New Mexico University in Roswell spent two weeks in June working with Salmon Ruins Museum.
The team made some significant discoveries about Arena Alta, one of the sites along the Great North Road.
"One of the rooms at Arena Alta, which is right at the top of the site, is probably a kiva," Baker said.
The university and Salmon Ruins will learn more about the kiva next year when the field school returns to Arena Alta for further studies. While the purpose of the kiva is still uncertain, the archaeologists hope it will shed light on the function and purpose of the Great North Road.
The Great North Road is a 45-mile road to Kutz Canyon, which is a tributary of the San Juan River and enters the river right across from Salmon Ruins in Bloomfield.
Kutz Canyon is extremely dry with few plants and lots of rock formations, but in the summer, it can fill with water. Baker said he has even seen "teeny, tiny little fish" in side the canyon.
Many roads radiate from Chaco Canyon. The roads helped connect Chacoan outlier civilizations, like the present-day Aztec Ruins and Canyon de Chelly, with the cultural center within Chaco Canyon National Historic Park.
Salmon Ruins is a Chacoan outlier, meaning it is part of the same culture as Chaco Canyon National Historic Park.
"The roads are just a cleared swale," Baker said. A swale is a low tract of land.
While the roads aren't paved, they do go up and over topographic barriers and are mostly straight, Baker said.
Baker speculates that the Great North Road's original purpose and function changed within a generation of it being built about a thousand years ago. He thinks the road may have originally had a cosmographic purpose, meaning it had to do with how the Chacoan culture viewed earth in relation to the universe. However, over time, Baker says the road became an important connection between sites like the Salmon and Aztec ruins to the Chacoan cultural center. Baker said it may have even connected Chimney Rock to Chaco Canyon.
Arena Alta is near the end of the Great North Road, where the road drops into Kutz Canyon. The site is located on a big sand dune and has never been investigated before.
With permission from the landowner, Envirotech CEO Morris Young, Salmon Ruins and Eastern New Mexico University teamed up to begin preliminary research on Arena Alta, such as mapping, during a two-week field session in June.
Young first learned about the road from Bureau of Land Management archaeologists shortly after purchasing the property. The road runs nearly due north.
The road's stairs, which lead down into the Kutz Canyon, were still present when Young bought the property, but, he said, many of them have been removed by "pot hunters," people who collect ancient artifacts.
Young said it's impressive that people who lived about 1,000 years ago were able to build a road that straight.
"You've got to take your hat off and admire people who have got that technology," he said.
Young uses the land as part of his land farm, which takes contaminated soil and spreads it out to expose it to the sun and decontaminate it.
While working the land, Young said he has done everything he can to protect the Great North Road. He had his land surveyed and set aside about 50 acres to protect the road. He also built berms 200 feet from the road to ensure vehicles working on his land don't destroy the site. When the field school came from Eastern New Mexico University, Young even created a parking area for the students.
Young said he allowed the archaeologists to work on his land because it is important to learn about Chacoan culture and to preserve it.
"We're just doing what we think is right," he said.

Two young entrepreneurs ran sold baked goods during their garage sale in June to benefit children who stay at St. Elizabeth Medical Center. They raised $67 selling chocolate chip cookies and three kinds of muffins. Their mother, Brenda Fancett of Sauquoit, matched their gift.
"Isaiah and Emilie chose St. Elizabeth's children because Isaiah said Sue Cooper was so nice to him when he had his surgeries and they both adore Dr. Chahfe," Ms. Fancett said. "Isaiah said, 'I need to give back.' "
Isaiah is 9 years old and Emilie is age 6. The Fancetts met St. Elizabeth's Pediatric Nurse Manager, Karen Coyle, to deliver their generous donation. Ms. Coyle will use the funds to buy infant clothing to help out families of the Medical Center's youngest patients.

GRANVILLE / HANCOCK — Not two years after Hancock and Granville shuttered their shared elementary school, school boards in both towns are facing yet another potential closure.
This time, it is the Windsor Northwest Supervisory Union (WNwSU) that is mulling its options following a March 2010 vote by Bethel and Rochester residents to withdraw from the union.
VERGENNES — Vergennes American Legion Post 14 on Thursday will bestow its annual Community Service Award on a woman who was born in a Ferrisburgh farmhouse 67 years ago and now organizes a half-dozen annual events in Vergennes.
Marguerite Senecal, the daughter of French-speaking immigrants from Ontario, has worked for the past 10 years for the Addison County Chamber of Commerce, most recently with the title of information specialist.
SHOREHAM — Town meeting in Shoreham brought some kind tidings to boosters of the Platt Memorial Library.
In a rather spontaneous showing of generosity, townspeople at their annual gathering agreed to transfer $90,000 in Newton Academy fire insurance money to an expansion/renovation plan for the library that has set on the Shoreham green for more than 100 years.
That action, supported by voice vote, could allow for construction on the 1,600-square-foot addition to begin as soon as this fall, according to library trustees.
BRISTOL — The results of a poll taken among people who voted in Bristol on Town Meeting Day could point the town toward adoption of the first full update of the Bristol Town Plan in nearly a decade.
The Bristol Planning Commission's two-question poll offered to voters as they left Holley Hall on Tuesday sought to determine residents' sentiments regarding where to permit and where to prohibit gravel and sand extraction in town — the hottest issue debated during the years-long creation of a town plan update.

MIDDLEBURY — Some know him from the ski slopes, some know him from the pool, I met him at the ACTR bus stop downtown. Dressed in worn jeans, a brown jacket and a black ski mask pulled up over his entire face, Herb Gingrich was the typical Vermont skier, or so I thought.
Little did I know that beneath that ski mask was no common man; underneath those layers was a resilient hero.
MIDDLEBURY — Vergennes residents Danielle and Stephen Boyce are buying American Flatbread's Middlebury location, and they have no plans to substantially shake up what has been a winning business recipe at the popular Marble Works-based restaurant.
Danielle Boyce has been manager of American Flatbread's Middlebury location for the past five years.
MIDDLEBURY — The No. 3 Middlebury Union High School boys' hockey team struck early and played well for three periods in Friday's Division II quarterfinal to take a solid, 6-2 win over visiting No. 6 Burr & Burton.
The Tigers improved to 13-4-3 and will host a Wednesday night semifinal vs. No. 7 Northfield (8-8-6), which upset No. 2 Peoples, 2-1, in overtime on Saturday. Northfield also upset the Tigers in OT in the final game of the regular season. Burr & Burton finished at 9-11-1, including three losses to MUHS.

Today's sentimental journey is taking us to 1954 to look at some Marion happenings during the same year the Indians won the American League pennant but lost the Series to the Giants and Willie Mays in four straight games. Go Tribe.
Our first item for today comes from the April 6, 1954, Marion Star with this headline, "69 New members Join Tri-Hi-Y Unit."
A total of 69 new members were inducted into the Eber Baker Junior High School Tri-Hi-Y at an induction ceremony held recently at the YMCA.
Suzanne Rinnert, Tri-Hi-Y president, was in charge of the ceremony.
Other officers are Susie Hindle, first vice president; Jan Taylor, second vice president; Nancy Thomas, secretary; Ann Carhart, treasurer; Patsy Riley, worship chairman; and Donna Eller and Judy Wilson, choir esters. Miss Lela Brookshire is adviser.
In charge of serving refreshments were Miss Taylor, social chairman, and Miss Rinnert, Tri-Hi-Y president, and the social committee of Emily Rinnert, Maureen Meister, Sonya Warner, Melinda Kohler, Cara Minshall, Sandy Beach, Janet Augenstein and Linda Vale.
Our next item for today appeared in The Marion Star on Friday, May 7, 1954, with this headline, "Highlights of Year's Activities Reported by Tri-Hi-Y Council."
Highlights of the year's activities of the Junior and Senior Tri-Hi-Y girls of the Marion schools were presented when the Women's Council of the Tri-Hi-Y entertained advisers and representatives from the various buildings at dinner Wednesday night in the YMCA.
Mrs. Harry Jacobs and her co-advisers, Mrs. M.A. Hindel and Miss Betty Howser, reported for Edison Junior High School; Miss Elizabeth Gray, adviser, and Miss Patricia Owens, co-adviser from Taft Junior High; Miss Lela Brookshire and Miss Una Ackley, co-adviser, Eber Baker Junior High; and Miss Ruth Turner and Mrs. Wayne Burns, co-adviser, from Harding High, also gave reports.
Highlighting the year's program at Edison were a father-daughter banquet, a panel discussion between fathers and daughters and sponsoring the appearance of Judge Edward J. Ruzzo of the probate and juvenile court and Mrs. Doris Maxwell of the Family Service Society.
Special activities at Christmas time including the showing of a film and the presentation of gifts to residents of the Children's Home, a special service at Easter time for the school, presentation of a good grooming film, supervising the collection of tax stamps and the sponsoring of a dance to raise funds for a mothers' tea were on the calender of the girls at Taft Junior High.
Trees were decorated in two of the halls by the girls at Edison Junior High School, special services at Easter time and a dessert party for mothers to be held sometime this month are among the extra curricular activities sponsored by this group.
At Harding High, the girls decorated the lunch room, sponsored a valentine dance which was attended by the board, joined with the Hi-Y boys in sponsoring a football homecoming dance at the beginning of the year and this spring cooperated with the boys group in sponsoring the Easter service in the school auditorium which was attended by 1,000 students. A "splash party" was sponsored at the YMCA. Three girls attended the youth in government program which was held at Columbus recently.
Both the senior and junior groups conducted induction ceremonies. Groups at Eber Baker and Edison joined in sponsoring a benefit dance. Eber Baker Tri-Hi-Y girls will sponsor a mother-daughter banquet on May 14 in the Evangelical and Reformed Church at which time Fern Sharp, television personality and newspaper columnist of Columbus will be he speaker.
Too bad these Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs have gone the way of the dinosaur.
Our final item for today appeared in the Monday, May 10, 1954, Star with this headline, "72 Students at Harding Will Sing in Auditorium."
Above this headline was a photo of the Harding High School choir with this caption: MEMBERS OF THE 72-VOICE Harding High School choir which will present its annual concert Tuesday are as follows:

ROBIN ROBERTS may have made her triumphant return to "Good Morning America," but behind the smiles, the morning show co-host is hiding a secret heartbreak from viewers.
She desperately wants to win back – and marry – her former gay lover, say insiders.
Robin, 52, returned to the ABC show on Feb. 20 after nearly a six-month leave to battle myelodysplastic syndrome, a debilitating blood condition that required a bone marrow transplant.
Five years ago, Robin beat breast cancer.
Happy to be alive and back on the air, Robin, however, was pining for the lost love of her life, a woman identified in published reports as Storm Sahara. The relationship reportedly ended last year.
"Storm didn't want to be in the spotlight, and the relationship soured," explained a friend.
"Robin was devastated, but understood why they broke up. Now that Robin has recovered from her illness, she's going to try and get Storm back in her life.
"She realized over the course of her illness how much she truly loved Storm and vowed that if she made it through, she would not only rekindle their love – but she would ask Storm to marry her and have a gay wedding."

|DNA synthesis in circulating erythroblasts of anemic duck. Isolation and properties of nuclear and cytoplasmic-nonmitochondrial DNA.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1204648 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In the circulating blood of anemic ducks, 5% of all erythroid cells synthesize DNA. Immature erythroblasts, at all stages of differentiation, synthesize DNA although to a varying degree, while reticulocytes and erythrocytes do not. In the erythroid cell population labeled in vitro 2 h with 32Pi, half of the labeled DNA sediments as small-molecular-weight molecules, suggesting that these molecules fail to integrate into the high-molecular-weight components. Labeled DNA is found in the cytoplasmic postmitochondrial fractions and it is in a form of deoxyribonucleoproteins which cosediment with ribosomes as well as subribosomal particles in sucrose gradients. However, fixation with HCHO and centrifugation to equilibrium in CsCl gradient of these particles shows that the deoxyribonucleoprotein bands at the density different than the ribosomes and, thus, not physically linked to them. In EDTA-dissociated ribosomes, the deoxyribonucleoprotein particles cosediment with ribosomes as well as subribosomal particles in sucorse gradients. However, fixation with HCHO and centrifugation to equilibrium in CsCl gradient of these particles shows that the deoxyribonucleoprotein bands at the density different than the ribosomes and, thus, not physically linked to them. In EDTA-dissociated ribosomes, the deoxyribonucleoprotein particles cosdeiment with ribosomal subunits in such a way that the larger the particle, the larger the molecular weight of the DNA cosedimenting with it. The specific radioactivity of the cytoplasmic ribosome-derived and postribosomal-particle-derived DNAs and the small molecular-weight nuclear DNA is similar and 10-20-fold higher than that of the bulk nuclear DNA. The former three DNA species sediment between 4-14 S. It is concluded that the cytoplasmic nonmitochondrial DNA species are of the nuclear origin. Less than 0.5% of the total cellular nonmitochondrial DNA can be purified from the nucleus and the cytoplasm as fast-labeled small-molecular-weight components. All of the cellular nonmitochondrial DNA species band at the same mean buoyand density in Cs2SO4/urea gradients. All behave as native structures in hydroxyapatite and contain less than 5% of their length as single-stranded regions.

News Government expresses serious interest in acquiring OKD coal mining company
If the mining company New World Resources were to put the Ostrava black coal mining company OKD on sale the government would seriously consider acquiring it, Industry and Trade Minister Jan Mládek told Czech public television on Monday. He said the government would like to see OKD, which employs around 14,000 people, kept in operation for another 10 years. New World Resources said last week it was preparing for the possible sale of its unprofitable daughter companies, including OKD. OKD runs four mines in the Czech Republic, including the Paskov mine in North Moravia, which it plans to close in three years' time.

Special meeting of Czech government scheduled over security situation
A special meeting of the Czech government will be held on Saturday to discuss the security situation in the country and Europe. Prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka, who is currently on a visit to China, announced the move on Wednesday night. The session will also prepare the way for a meeting of EU leaders and Turkey in Brussels on Sunday which should chart ways of increased cooperation to tackle the immigration problem.
Czech Radio council gets new head
The hitherto head of public broadcaster Czech Radio's governing council, Michal Stehlík, has resigned. His place will be taken by the former deputy chairman of the council, Petr Šafařík. Šafařík is a university teacher and publicist and a former member of the Green Party. Michal Stehlík gave the reason for his resignation as the events surrounding last month's decision by Czech Radio's general director, Peter Duhan, to step down. He was facing a call for his resignation over the employment of one of his sons at the radio, a move which is clearly ruled out under the broadcaster's rules.
Stepped up security seen in place until New Year
Higher security measures are likely to be in place in the Czech Republic over Christmas and the New Year. The increased security already took effect on November 13 and 14 following the Paris attacks. They include stepped up police protection of airports, shopping centres, and some embassies. Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said that there was no question of altering these measures now and that would depend in large part on developments in other European countries. Chovanec said Wednesday that the Czech Republic has detained a person suspected of having international links with terrorism. The minister made the announcement on his Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon. Police later said the man was Turkish and sought by Interpol.
Lower house seeks up to 44 billion crowns for 2016 budget
Members of the lower house of parliament proposed additional spending in the 2016 budget totalling up to 44billion crowns on Wednesday as they debated next year's spending package. Most of the extra spending was focused on the army, border protection, education, and social services. Finance Minister Andrej Babiš said he would address the new demands in the final third reading. He added though that many ministries are currently now able to spend all the funds they are already allocated. The Ministry of Defence has been earmarked 50 billion crowns this year but appears on course to spend just 34 billion, he added.
Energy regulator says not facing dismissal after meeting with president
The head of the Czech energy regulator, Alena Vitasková, has accused mafia groups of seeking to get her removed from her job. Vitasková made the comments ahead of the meeting with head of state, Miloš Zeman, on Wednesday. She was due to speak with president about the current state of support for renewable energy, where her office is refusing to make payments for 2016 because they have not been approved by the European Commission. Zeman has the power to sack the head of the independent energy office. She afterwards declared that he had no intention of doing so and that a solution to the support standoff could be found.
Electronic motorway payments to be phased in within three years: ministry
The Ministry of Transport says that it will make the transition from paper to electronic motorway tolls within three years. A similar electronic system will already be up and running in Slovakia next year. The ministry says that the new system will allow it to clamp down on counterfeit motorway stickers, a problem that was particularly evident at the start of 2015. Prices for year long stickers will be the same next year as this at 1500 crowns.
Former bankruptcy judge Jiří Berka sentenced at Tábor court
A former judge at the centre of a series of fraudulent bankruptcy cases has been sentenced to 8 years and six months. The court in Tábor handed down the sentence to Jiří Berka. Berka was discovered in 2003 to be behind a series of cases in which 10 companies were declared bankrupt on false and fabricated evidence with the overall damage estimated at 264 million crowns. Once declared bankrupt, the assets of the companies could be picked up for a pittance. A further eight people involved in the cases were also sentenced Wednesday. The verdicts can still be appealed.
Ostrava coalition collapses, Social Democrats out of power
The political coalition governing the Czech Republic's third biggest city, Ostrava has fallen apart. The Social Democrats have quit the hitherto coalition with the ANO party and Christian Democrats. Their place has been taken by the Ostravak movement. The move means the Social Democrats are out of power for the first time since 1990.
Czech PM calls for stepped up university cooperation with China
Czech prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka has called for strengthened university ties between the Czech Republic and China. The number of Czechs studying in China and vice versa should increase, he said during his ongoing trip to China. The prime minister also warned that the lack of Czechs able to speak Chinese is threatening to become a brake on economic and other relations. Under a current agreement there are just 10 Czech students in China and the same number of Chinese in Czech universities.
Petr Čech and Arsenal keep slender Champions League progress hopes alive
In football, Czech international Petr Čech and his Arsenal team kept alive their hopes of progressing past the group stage in the European Champions League on Tuesday night. Arsenal won 3:0 against Dinamo Zagreb with Čech little tested between the posts. In the same group, Bayern Munich thrashed Olympiakos Pireus 4:0. That means that Arsenal can progress to the knock-out stage if they can convincingly beat the Greek team in the last game.

Hospice is a way of caring for people with a progressive, life-limiting illness. Hospice helps individuals live their final months of life to the fullest, as comfortable as possible, in the setting of their own homes. Hospice is an interdisciplinary team designed to address not only the physical needs of patients, but also the psychosocial and spiritual needs of patients, their families and loved ones. Hospice combines the best in pain control, symptom management and emotional and spiritual support.
Eligibility RequirementsPatients must be diagnosed with a life limiting illness by a physician and desire no further treatment.
Services ProvidedNurses, doctors and pharmacists work together to provide pain and symptom management and to teach families how to care for their loved one. Social Workers provide emotional support, grief and bereavement counseling and assistance with other supportive services. Chaplains provide spiritual counseling for people of all faiths, offer communion and serve as liaisons between families and community ministers. Volunteers offer companionship and provide respite to the caregiver. They will occasionally help with household tasks, such as cleaning or meal preparation.
Speakers BureauOur Speakers Bureau provides invaluable information to the community about hospice care and services. Staff members speak to large and small audiences during the daytime, evenings and weekends. We also provide information booths at health and wellness fairs, and answer questions about hospice.

China's gaming industry is massive, as you'd expect, yet it's also a lot more complex than you'd imagine. Game consoles have been banned for over a decade, and that was only rescinded a few weeks ago. PC-based MMORPG and FPS games – like Crossfire and Blade & Soul – dominate in terms of revenues they produce. Mobile gaming is still in second place for now, but that will surely change eventually as smartphones proliferate and people get more comfortable with in-app purchases.
This new infographic from the Go-Globe team shows lots of facts and figures on the Chinese online gaming industry right now. Some of the highlights include:
China's online game operators made RMB 82.1 billion ($13.5 billion) in 2013.
That's estimated to grow to $16.1 billion by the end of 2014.
Tencent (HKG:0700), the same company that makes WeChat, is China's gaming giant.
Action RPGs are the most favored genre, led by PC-based gamers.
Here's the full infographic:
