text: Colts Notebook: Injury Updates, Unlikely Standouts, & a New Receiver Prospect Posted by Marcus Dugan on Aug 20, 2013 04:31 ShareTweet Yesterday, Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano had a conference call with the media and discussed a couple of the standout performances from Sunday's preseason win over the Giants as well as a few updates on injured players. We'll go over some of the highlights, but first, a roster move: Indianapolis Signs AFL WR Maurice Williams The Colts announced Monday evening that they had signed former Arena League receiver Maurice Williams. Some believe the team is dissatisfied with their depth behind third receiver T.Y. Hilton with LaVon Brazill set to serve a four game suspension, but true or not, an injury to Griff Whalen has opened the door for another player to come in and make his case for a roster spot. Here is Colts.com's Kevin Bowen's write up on Williams from the team's announcement: Williams, 6-1, 195 pounds, joins the Colts after playing the previous two seasons in the AFL with the Cleveland Gladiators (2012-13) and Orlando Predators (2013) as a wide receiver and defensive back. For his career, Williams recorded 39 receptions for 537 yards and 12 touchdowns, while adding 35 kickoff returns for 628 yards and two touchdowns. He also posted 33 tackles (22 solo) and four interceptions, including three returns for touchdowns on defense. Also, click here for a link to Williams's NFL Draft Scout Profile. Defensive Standouts Pagano on reserve OLB and former Utah blaze star, Caesar Rayford, who has shown a relentless ability to get into the backfield, including two sacks against the Giants: "You could see watching his tape coming up from the AFL and things like that, he's sitting there, there's no tackles there. It's a center and a guard. He's rushing on a guard, so he's one man closer to the quarterback and just wreaking havoc at that level. You saw the raw talent there and now it's just a matter of Coach Emanuel and our guys honing and refining his skillset. I think he's progressing every day. "And again, like I said, you can't coach the things that he has: height, weight and length and those things. But he's a hard worker and once he gets the run game down and he learns to play behind his pads and play with a little bit lower pad level, I think playing against the run, certainly we know he can be an effective pass rusher, but he'll get better as far as setting the edge in the run game also." It should be noted that rushing the passer is quite difficult in the high scoring AFL, though the methods and nuances are surely very different from the NFL. If Rayford continues to look the part of a dynamic pass rusher, especially against progressively higher level competition, no amount of deficiency against the run should keep him off the roster (right?). He can learn as he goes. Pagano on backup DT Drake Nevis, a former third round pick who is finally looking healthy again: "He's a high-motor guy. He's got some pass-rush ability and like I said, he's relentless in his pass rush. He's a powerful guy. He's an explosive guy. Going in there and getting a couple sacks late in that game, that's just Drake. That's how he plays. He's snap-to-whistle, all out. He can become, depending on who he's going against, he gets singled up, he's got the ability to beat guys." If I'm on the opposing offense, and it's third and long against the Colts nickel package, I wouldn't like the thought of going against a healthy Nevis. The guy is just non-stop pass rush. Injury Updates from the Coach Pagano on TE Coby Fleener (knee) and OLB Lawrence Sidbury (shoulder): "Yeah, he's been evaluated, MRIs came back and they were negative and it looks like he might miss some time early this week and then be back in the swing of things, probably work him back into practice on Thursday and Friday. (Lawrence) Sidbury was the other one. His came back negative also. He's going to be day-to-day, really, Sid. He might miss a few days this week and we'll look to see how he's feeling towards the end of the week and if he's going to be available for Saturday." Fleener had a rough outing and didn't seem 100%. Expect for him to look better next time he's on the field. Pagano on Dwayne Allen: "Yeah, he's doing great. As a matter of fact, we're going to monitor his reps but it looks like he's going to be able to get some work in tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, go through the week. But again, we'll monitor his reps and see how he does but he's come back relatively quick." Allen has been consistent. He has great hands and runs smart routes. Oh, and the man can throw a block. We might not see him play much, if at all, in the preseason, but he will be missed greatly if he isn't able to play when the games matter. Pagano also said they hope to have safety LaRon Landry back next weekend, as well as to get more snaps with the defense for ILB Pat Angerer. As for their former free agent running back, Pagano said, "Ahmad (Bradshaw) is a guy that we said all along we're going to err on the side of caution as we always say, but maybe he gets a chance to start working in there." Bradshaw is a fine running back, but he needs to get healthy. He will be an upgrade once he's ready to be on the field, and his availability could keep all three backs healthier by splitting carries.

Patient Comments: Alzheimer's Disease - Treatments
What stage of Alzheimer's disease are you or your loved one currently experiencing, and have any treatments been effective?
Comment from: Southerngirl4, 75 or over Male (Caregiver) Published: August 01
He is in a severe stage of Alzheimer's disease and no treatment has helped. He has sleeping illusions or seeing things mostly when he wakes up. It's like living with someone in an abusive relationship; getting swung at and cussed out, and no sleep.
Comment from: ljc22, 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 12
I had a spinal tap 15 years ago for pseudotumor cerebri. I couldn't believe all the colors I could see afterwards. It took them 3 times to get into my spine and it really hurt but it got the pressure down in my brain. My doctor thinks my pressure is up again so in 2 days I need another spinal tap. I'm scared because 10 years ago I had a tumor taken out of my lumbar region and I'm afraid they are going to mess it up.
Comment from: Marilyn, 75 or over Male (Caregiver) Published: September 28
My husband was diagnosed about 3 years ago with Alzheimer's disease. In the past year or so he gets confused with me. He talks to me in the 3rd person and tells me everything that has happened when I was with him. I still work and he is at home with our dog. He calls me every morning between 8:30 and 9:00. When I am not at work he stills insists on phoning me. He has always been a very happy man, but recently has started being very argumentative and gets annoyed easily.
Comment from: Joycie, 65-74 Male (Caregiver) Published: January 10
My husband was told he had Alzheimer's and the doctor told us to start preparing for the future. They did an APOE 3/4 blood test. He was still working and had to take a lower pay because he could not do math on contracts. He was in the 1st stage. After being on Aricept and then Namenda 4 years he seemed to get some better. He still drives some but I do most of the driving. He gets very angry at nothing and tells me that I have Alzheimer's and he takes the meds. This all started 1992.

Washington, D.C. — Two years ago today an explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico took 11 lives and spewed nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf. CAP's Michael Conathan, Director of Ocean Policy, will be available for comment on the spill's continued effect on the ecosystem and Gulf economy, measures that Congress and the Obama administration must take to strengthen offshore drilling safety and oversight in the Gulf, and the likelihood that offshore drilling will expand into the Arctic Ocean as soon as July 2012.

Significant Advancement
In 2014, the Philippines made a significant advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) finalized its Strategic Plan for 2014 2016, which will serve as the operational framework to address components of the Philippine Program Against Child Labor (PPACL). Four NCLC subcommittees conducted year-end assessments on the accomplishments of their respective 2014 strategic plans to identify the implementation gaps and formulate their 2015 strategic plans under the PPACL Strategic Framework. The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) trained over 5,000 service providers to ensure the protection, prevention, and prosecution of human trafficking cases, and established three additional regional task forces bringing the countrywide total to 19. However, children in the Philippines are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture and domestic work. Despite nearly doubling the number of Labor Law Compliance Officers (LLCO), enforcement of child labor laws remains challenging due to the limited number of inspectors and lack of resources for inspections.
Children in the Philippines are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture and domestic service.(1-5) The 2011 National Survey on Children indicated that 3.2 million children are engaged in child labor, of which approximately 3 million work in hazardous labor.(6) Most child labor occurs in the informal sector, with approximately 60 percent working in agriculture.(7) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in the Philippines.
Table 1. Statistics on Children's Work and Education
Working children, ages 5 to 14 (% and population):
7.5 (1,549,677)

Source for primary completion rate: Data from 2009, published by UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2015.(8)
Source for all other data: Understanding Children's Work Project's analysis of statistics from Survey on Children, 2011.(9)
Based on a review of available information, Table 2 provides an overview of children's work by sector and activity.
Table 2. Overview of Children's Work by Sector and Activity
Production of sugarcane, bananas, coconuts, corn, hogs, palm oil,* rice, rubber, and tobacco (1, 10-14)
Mining† and quarrying,† including gold extraction (1-3, 11, 13, 15-17)
Used in the production of fashion accessories (21)
Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Commercial sexual exploitation sometimes as a result of human trafficking (7, 11, 24-27)
Forced labor, including domestic work, sometimes as a result of human trafficking (7, 24, 28-30)
Used in armed conflict as combatants, human shields, guides, messengers, and porters, sometimes as a result of forced recruitment (7, 25, 31, 32)
Forced begging* (11)
Used in illicit activities, including the trafficking of drugs (2, 11, 15, 33)
* Evidence of this activity is limited and/or the extent of the problem is unknown.
† Determined by national law or regulation as hazardous and, as such, relevant to Article 3(d) of ILO C. 182.
‡ Child labor understood as the worst forms of child labor per se under Article 3(a)–(c) of ILO C. 182.
Children, primarily girls, are trafficked from rural to urban areas for domestic work and commercial sexual exploitation.(7, 24, 29) Emerging reports indicate that boys are increasingly trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation, particularly for child pornography.(25, 29) In addition, very young Filipino children are coerced to perform sex acts for live Internet broadcast to paying foreigners. This typically occurs in private residences or Internet cafés, and it is often facilitated by family members.(27) The Philippine National Police (PNP) noted that child trafficking for labor is prevalent from Lanao del Sur Province in Mindanao.(11, 34)
Children commonly work as domestic workers orkasambahays.(1, 22, 23) Many child domestic workers work long hours, and their isolation in the homes where they work creates the potential for sexual harassment and verbal and physical abuse.(24, 27, 30, 35) Child domestic workers are often denied access to education.(22, 23, 35) Some children end up in situations of forced labor, especially those who receive no pay or have their wages withheld.(23, 29, 35)
Child soldiering is a problem, particularly among antigovernment and terrorist organizations.(7, 24, 25, 31, 32) Sources indicate that children continue to be found in the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), working as guides, messengers, and porters.(7, 25, 31) In early 2014, the Government of the Philippines signed a peace agreement with the MILF, completing negotiations that had been ongoing for more than a decade.(32, 36) UNICEF conducted preventative programs with the group on the recruitment and use of children. The MILF also reconstituted a panel to monitor implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan to monitor cases of grave child rights violations.(32, 33)
Children have been found in the Moro National Liberation Front where abductions have been reported, including for the use of children as human shields, as well as in the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) and the New People's Army. Children have also been used as both combatants and non-combatants by the Abu Sayyaf Group.(7, 31-33, 37) In September, combatants from the BIFF attended workshops led by UNICEF, the Bangsamoro Development Agency, and Plan International on topics including children in armed conflict, the framework for child protection, and monitoring and reporting grave violations.(33) In addition, the UN has raised concerns about the use of children by security forces of the state.(7, 25)
Although the law mandates free education, many children do not attend school because the costs of books, uniforms, meals, and transportation are prohibitive for many families.(1, 2, 38) In addition, distant school locations are often not accessible to rural students, especially at the secondary school level.(7, 38, 39)
Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines in late 2013, leaving behind devastation that affected millions of people.(40, 41) Prior to the typhoon, children were already heavily involved in agriculture; the loss of family livelihoods and incomes has increased child labor in hazardous work.(42-44) Adult migration for work and displacement from their homes have made children more vulnerable to exploitation in hazardous work and/or human trafficking.(25, 27, 42, 43, 45, 46)
The Philippines has ratified all key international conventions concerning child labor (Table 3).

The Government has established institutional mechanisms for the enforcement of laws and regulations on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 5).
Table 5. Agencies Responsible for Child Labor Law Enforcement
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC)
Enforce child labor laws and regularly train inspectors and regional personnel. Inspect establishments and monitor compliance with labor laws in all sectors, including the informal sector, nontraditional and informal establishments, and agricultural and mining operations.(11)
Rescue the Child Laborers Quick Action Teams (Sagip Batang Manggagawa SBM)
Lead the regional mechanism for rescuing children who work in exploitative and dangerous situations.(15) Interagency quick action mechanism partnering with the Philippine National Police (PNP); the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI); the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD); local representatives of various government agencies; local NGOs; labor unions; and the business community in a cooperative effort to detect, monitor, and respond to instances of child labor in the formal and informal sectors.(11, 33) Exchange information on child labor cases in meetings of the Regional Child Labor Committees and in conferences of regional SBM Quick Action Teams. Refer child laborers to DSWD for rehabilitation and reintegration.(33)
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
Rehabilitate and reintegrate children.(2, 15) Coordinate regional Special Action Units, with at least one dedicated staff member per region to conduct rescue operations for child laborers and cooperate with social workers to manage the ongoing cases of victims.(15) Maintain 16 Crisis Intervention Units and 30 residential facilities nationwide to address cases of child abuse and support child abuse victims, including children exploited in hazardous labor.(11, 33)
Philippine National Police (PNP)
Investigate and prosecute child labor cases.(29, 62) Lead the enforcement of child trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children laws as well as other tasks related to the protection of children by the PNP's Women and Children's Protection Center.(11) Maintain 1,833 women and children's desks throughout the country with a total of 3,675 personnel.(27)
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)
Investigate and prosecute child labor cases.(29, 62) Operate a national Trafficking in Persons Task Force to conduct preliminary investigations and prosecute trafficking in persons cases, as well as a Task Force on the Protection of Children from Exploitation and Abuse.(27, 63) Employ 16 agents and investigators assigned to investigate cases of trafficking and illegal recruitment in the Anti-Trafficking Division.(33)
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)
Enforce the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act, Republic Act No. 9165. Maintain a national hotline for reporting cases of children used in illicit activities.(2) Coordinate with DSWD to assist during rescue operations once information is verified through surveillance.(11)
Law enforcement agencies in the Philippines took actions to combat child labor, including its worst forms.
Labor Law Enforcement
DOLE's Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC) increased the number of Labor Laws Compliance Officers (LLCOs) during the year by more than double, raising the number from 237 to 572.(33, 64) Despite the increase in the number of LLCOs, NGOs report that enforcement of labor laws, particularly DOLE's ability to monitor and investigate child labor law violations, remains difficult due to the limited number of inspectors and lack of logistical resources.(33) DOLE includes a child labor component in its training for labor inspectors.(11)
The budget of DOLE's regional offices for inspection activities increased from $2.73 million in 2013 to $4.05 million in 2014. The Government indicated that it has sufficient office facilities but lacks funding for transportation, fuel, and other necessities to carry out inspections, particularly in the informal sector.(33) During the year, DOLE started using a Labor Law Compliance System Management Information System, a Web-based application system that uses tablet computers for transmitting and processing real-time data collected from the field using an electronic checklist.(33)
Rescue the Child Laborers SBM Quick Action Teams conducted 15 rescue operations in five regions that led to the rescue of 78 children working in hazardous activities. These children were then referred to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for rehabilitation and reintegration.(33) While the SBM Quick Action Teams can conduct unannounced compliance visits in video karaoke bars, massage parlors, sauna/bath houses and farms, they are not authorized to conduct visits in private homes to search for underage child domestic workers.(33)
DOLE's BWC reported that in the National Capital Region, 86 minors were found working part-time making local delicacies.(64) Research did not find the total number of child labor inspections conducted, the number of violations identified, or the number of children assisted as a result of inspections because the Government does not have a system in place to disaggregate data.(33)
Criminal Law Enforcement
During the reporting period, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) employed 35 drug enforcement officers per region who were involved in anti-illegal drug operations, however there are no officers dedicated solely to investigating cases involving children in illicit activities. Two focal persons per PDEA regional office were designated to oversee operations involving children in illicit activities.(33) From January to November, the PDEA and other law enforcement units conducted 14,801 anti-drug operations, an 80 percent increase in the number of operations conducted in 2013. Of these operations, 120 cases involved the use of minors.(33)
Law enforcement agencies do not have specific funding to combat human trafficking or the use of children in illicit activities. Also, the limited number of law enforcement agents dedicated expressly to child trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children continued to hinder the Government's ability to investigate and prosecute complaints and violations.(11, 33) The overall number of prosecutors assigned to specific anti-human trafficking task forces did increase, from 93 in 2013 to 135 in 2014.(27) The PNP has noted that child protection at the grassroots level remains weak as many local councils for the protection of children lack the resources to address issues.(11) Law enforcement agencies do not have budget allocations specifically for combating human trafficking, but do assign personnel and allocate resources from their general budgets, which are often determined by local government leaders.(33)
In 2014, the Philippine National Police (PNP) investigated 273 child trafficking cases, including 159 cases of trafficking for sexual exploitation and 114 cases for labor.(33, 64) The National Bureau of Investigation's (NBI) Anti-Trafficking Division investigated 28 cases of human trafficking, 19 of which involved the trafficking of children.(64) The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) task forces investigated 182 alleged trafficking in persons cases involving 811 victims. Of these cases, 69 involved minor victims.(33) Many cases of trafficking of minors, particularly for child labor, continue to be undocumented for fear of retaliation from employers.(11, 34)
DSWD reported assisting 424 minor victims of trafficking as well as 112 minor victims of prostitution and 24 victims of pornography. While there were no prosecutions reported for the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, DSWD reported having assisted 22 minor children involved in conflict.(33) Enforcement agencies filed five criminal cases related to child prostitution at the prosecutor's office and local courts. Eight establishments found to have engaged 25 minors in prostitution were permanently closed by DOLE.(33)
In 2014, the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) provided a series of trainings for service providers to ensure the protection, prevention, and prosecution of human trafficking cases. IACAT's Training Section conducted 18 training sessions with 772 government personnel and IACAT task forces conducted 91 training sessions with 4,824 government personnel, mostly from the justice sector and other law enforcement agencies.(33) IACAT also operated the 24/7 Actionline against Human Trafficking to receive and immediately respond to requests for assistance and referrals from trafficking victims, their families, and the public.(11) From April 2014 to January 2015, the hotline assisted 23 alleged trafficking victims, 3 of whom were minors.(27)
The Government has established mechanisms to coordinate its efforts to address child labor, including its worst forms (Table 6).

During the year, the Inter-Agency Council for the Welfare of Children and partner agencies trained 176 frontline workers in Mindanao, using the Protocol on Monitoring, Reporting, and Response System on Grave Child Rights Violations in Situations in Armed Conflict.(27) The training and orientation covered 10 provinces in Mindanao and was provided to social workers, teachers, police officers, health workers, Local Government Unit officers, and personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.(33)
The Government of the Philippines has established policies related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 7).
Table 7. Policies Related to Child Labor
National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) Strategic Plan (2014–2016)†
Serves as the operational framework of the NCLC to pursue various components of the PPACL up to the deadline in 2016.(60) In 2014, four NCLC subcommittees conducted year-end assessments on the accomplishments of their respective 2014 strategic plans to identify implementation gaps and formulate their 2015 strategic plans under the PPACL Strategic Framework.(33)
Philippine Program Against Child Labor (PPACL) Strategic Framework (2007–2015)
Lays out a blueprint for reducing the prevalence of child labor by 75percent.(15, 65, 66) Identifies concrete objectives such as improving access for children and their families to appropriate services to help prevent incidences of child labor and to reintegrate former child laborers.(15, 67) Includes the Convergence Action Plan (H.E.L.P. M.E.: health, education, livelihood and prevention, protection and prosecution, monitoring, and evaluation), which aims to reduce the worst forms of child labor by 2016 and to remove 893,000 children from hazardous child labor across 15,568 target barangays (districts).(66, 68) During the reporting period, 75,724 child laborers in 406,887 households were profiled for program inclusion.(33) Has been allocated $220 million for implementation over 4 years, from 2013 to 2016.(34, 68, 69) Includes the Batang Malaya Child Labor-Free Philippines Campaign, which institutionalizes the Survey on Children to be regularly conducted by the Government; mainstreams child labor prevention into local development plans; adds child labor elimination as a requirement in conditional cash transfer programs; strengthens the labor inspectorate to monitor child labor; improves enforcement of Republic Act No. 9231; and strengthens the NCLC through a legal mandate, budget, and a dedicated secretariat.(70)
Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) (2011–2016)
Specifies government commitments to strengthen mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of child protection laws, to develop strategies to respond to child trafficking and pornography, and to implement an enhanced program for preventing children from being engaged in armed conflict.(2)
Philippine Labor and Employment Plan (2011–2016)
Operates within the framework of the MTPDP and includes the goal of reducing exploitive child labor.(2, 11, 71)
National Strategic Action Plan Against Trafficking in Persons (2012–2016)
Contains specific provisions on preventing trafficking of children, including raising awareness and creating local programs to prevent children from being lured by traffickers.(2, 11) In 2014, the Government conducted a monitoring and evaluation workshop to assess each member agency's compliance to the National Strategic Action Plan Against Trafficking in Persons.(33)
National Plan of Action for Children*
Approved by CWC, is designed to continue and implement Child 21.(63)Connected to the MTPDP with three strategic components: (1)policy and legislative agenda, (2)programs and strategies, and (3)governance.(63)
National Strategic Framework for Plan Development for Children (Child 21) (2000–2025)*
Sets out broad goals for national government agencies, local governments, and NGOs to achieve improved quality of life for Filipino children by 2025.(15, 63, 72)
UN Development Assistance Framework (2012–2018)
Identifies major development priorities, including reducing and eliminating child labor.(73)
† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
* Child labor elimination and prevention strategies do not appear to have been integrated into this policy.
In 2014, the Government of the Philippines funded and participated in programs that include the goal of eliminating or preventing child labor, including its worst forms. The Government has other programs that may have an impact on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 8).
Table 8. Social Programs to Address Child Labor
DOLE Child Labor Prevention and Elimination Program‡
DOLE program that implements local awareness-raising campaigns, institutes child labor monitoring mechanisms, and requires barangays to develop child labor elimination plans with short- and long-term objectives.(74) Includes the Campaign for Child-Labor Free Barangays, which seeks to make villages child labor-free through community orientations on child labor and anti-trafficking laws, and through government livelihood programs and guidelines.(11, 24, 34, 75) From January to October, 7 resolutions and 14 ordinances were passed at the local level in support of the Child Labor-Free Barangay Program. In addition, three Voluntary Codes of Conduct on the Elimination of Child Labor in the Sugar Industry were formulated and adopted in the sugarcane-growing provinces of Batangas, Bukidnon, and Negros Occidental.(33) Also, during the reporting period, DOLE regional offices awarded Child Labor-Free Establishment Certificates to 76 establishments nationwide.(33) Program also includes the Livelihood for Parents of Child Laborers (KASAMA) program, which provides funds to parents of working children for projects such as raising livestock, producing souvenirs, food vending, and other service professions.(62, 74, 76) DOLE regional offices provided livelihood assistance to 9,396 parents of child workers and children-at-risk in 16 regions.(33) A third component, Project Angel Tree, redistributes shoes, school bags, toys, and other supplies donated by private sponsors to children at risk of, or engaged in, child labor.(15, 62, 76) From January to October, a total of 4,585 children received school supplies.(33) Sources indicate that the program's budget is not sufficient compared to the size of the problem.(11)
Conditional Cash Transfer program (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino) Program)‡
DSWD and Local Government Unit social assistance and development program that provides conditional grants to poor families with children, from newborn to age 17, to improve their access to health care, adequate nutrition, and education.(11, 15, 77, 78) Covers 1,627 cities and municipalities in 79 provinces and all 17 regions.(33) Specifically targets households of child laborers and includes a condition prohibiting hazardous child labor as a program requirement.(69, 79) Provided assistance to 4.09 million households as of June 2014. Budget was increased from $1.2 billion in 2013 to $1.44 billion in 2014; however, funding remains insufficient to fully address the scope of the problem.(33, 64)
Alternative Learning System (ALS) Program*‡
Department of Education program that offers nonformal education to out-of-school children, including child laborers, as well as opportunities to attain a certificate of education equivalency.(80) Has limited resources, represents less than 1percent of the Department of Education's budget, and has only one teacher for every 24 communities, so it cannot reach many out-of-school youth.(38, 76)
Social Amelioration Program (SAP)*‡
DOLE, National Tripartite Council, and Sugar Industry program that provides a cash bonus to sugar workers and funds social protection, livelihood, and education programs for sugar workers and their families through a tax imposed on refined sugar.(81, 82) Integrated Services for Migratory Sugar Workers Program under the SAP seeks to improve the livelihoods of migrant sugar workers and their families as well as increase income.(15, 82) Includes services such as educational materials and scholarships.(62, 76) Also provides skills training and other capacity-building opportunities to beneficiaries through DOLE's Bureau of Workers and Special Concerns and DOLE regional offices.(11)
Recovery and Reintegration Program for Trafficked Persons‡
DSWD and IACAT program that provides services to victims of trafficking and raises awareness in vulnerable communities. Includes services such as shelters, crisis intervention, awareness campaigns, and residential facilities.(28, 29) Includes the National Referral System, a mechanism to strengthen the referral networks of agencies dealing with trafficked persons by allowing case managers to efficiently handle trafficking in persons cases through the use of standard referral and reporting forms, ensuring uniformity of documents and avoiding repetition of interviews of human trafficking survivors. There are 149 referral networks established in 16 regions.(33) Received a budget of $532,440 for 2014.(27)
Special Social Services for Children in Armed Conflict‡
DSWD program that provides special services to protect and rehabilitate children after their direct or indirect involvement in armed conflict.(83) Includes services such as emergency evacuation and rescue; family reunification; provision of food, clothing, and shelter; and psychosocial rehabilitation.(62)
Philippines ABK3 LEAP Livelihoods, Education, Advocacy, and Protection to Reduce Child Labor in Sugarcane (2011–2016)
$16.5 million, USDOL-funded, 4-year and 11-month project implemented by World Vision to reduce child labor in sugar-producing areas in 11provinces of the Philippines.(84) Seeks to provide education services to 54,000 children engaged in, or at risk of engaging in, the worst forms of child labor, and to provide livelihood assistance to 28,090 households of targeted children. Engages the sugar industry in raising awareness of child labor among sugar workers and their families.(84, 85) In 2014, introduced Child Labor Monitoring Systems to stakeholders in 31 cities and municipalities, and in 3 provinces.(33)
Global Action Program on Child Labor Issues
USDOL-funded project implemented by the ILO in approximately 40 countries to support the priorities of the Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor by 2016 established by the Hague Global Child Labor Conference in 2010. Aims to build the capacity of the national government and develop strategic policies to address the elimination of child labor and forced labor, improve the evidence base on child labor and forced labor through data collection and research, and strengthen legal protections and social service delivery for child domestic workers in the Philippines. In 2014, facilitated technical advice to DOLE in the finalization of the revised Hazardous Work List for Children.(86)
Country Level Engagement and Assistance to Reduce (CLEAR) Child Labor
USDOL-funded capacity building project implemented by the ILO in at least 10 countries to build local and national capacity of the Government to address child labor. Aims to improve legislation addressing child labor issues, including by bringing local or national laws into compliance with international standards, improve monitoring and enforcement of laws and policies related to child labor, implement a national action plan on the elimination of child labor, and enhance the implementation of national and local policies and programs aimed at the reduction and prevention of child labor in the Philippines. In 2014, conducted meetings with officials of the Department of Education and DOLE for the creation of an Education Roadmap to Eliminate Child Labor and began work on an assessment of existing educational programs.(60)
UNICEF Country Program (2012–2016)*
Program that supports the Government of the Philippines in fulfilling the rights of children, paying particular attention to vulnerable children. Contributes to the MTPDP, 2015 Education for All plan, and the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda.(87)
* The impact of this program on child labor does not appear to have been studied.
‡ Program is funded by the Government of the Philippines.
During the year, DOLE's Institute for Labor Studies conducted a study in coordination with the Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns to examine the link between the Livelihood for Parents of Child Laborers program and the children's work situation and well-being. The research documented changes in the lives of former beneficiaries as a result of the program, assessed the contributions of the intervention, and gathered insights on how to enhance the impact and improve the future design.(33) Overall, the program was not found to have improved the work situation or well-being of the beneficiaries due to the limited benefits they received. Improvement was, however, observed when the program provided parents with counseling on family values and the importance of education.(64)
Based on the reporting above, suggested actions are identified that would advance the elimination of child labor, including its worst forms, in the Philippines (Table 9).
Table 9. Suggested Government Actions to Eliminate Child Labor, Including its Worst Forms

Damballa is an American computer security company focused on advanced cyber threats such as zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APT).[1][2] The company's system uses massive data sets and machine learning to identify malicious activity based on network behavior, content analysis and threat intelligence. The system constantly "trains" on new data, which enables it to detect previously unknown threats. Damballa was acquired by Core Security in July 2016 for $US 9 million, a significant loss on the $US 60 million in funding it had received.[3]
Damballa was founded in 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia by Merrick Furst, an associate dean in the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) College of Computing;[4] he was joined by two Georgia Tech colleagues, Wenke Lee, and David Dagon.[5] The company is named after Damballa, a Vodou snake god[6] that protects against zombies, with the implication that Damballa protects against "zombie" computers operating as part of botnets. According to its site, Damballa now seeks primarily corporate clients and ISP.
In April 2014, Damballa secured $US 13 million from its existing investors to grow sales and marketing efforts along with global expansion.[7] Since the company was founded in 2006, Damballa has raised a total of $US 57.5 million in venture capital funding led by the following firms: Sigma Prime Ventures; InterWest Partners; Palomar Ventures; Paladin Capital Group; and, Adams Street Partners. Additional investors include: GRA Venture Fund; Noro-Moseley Partners; and, Imlay Investments.[4][8][9]
Damballa's current product offerings are:
Advanced Threat Protection[edit]
Damballa's advanced threat protection solution for enterprises, Damballa Failsafe detects successful infections with certainty, terminates their threat activity, and gives incident response the intelligence needed to rapidly prevent data breaches. Damballa Failsafe is able to detection malicious files (malware) and track suspicious behavior over time in the network, delivering actionable information about known and unknown threats regardless of the infection's source, entry vector or OS of the device. It provides incident responders with definitive evidence so they can rapidly prevent loss on high-risk devices while blocking activity on the rest.[10] It was recommended on the Advanced Threat Protection shortlist buyer's guide for 2015. [11]
ISP Subscriber Protection[edit]
Damballa CSP, which is designed for service providers and ISPs, identifies malicious activity originating from subscriber's devices, whether PC, tablet or mobile. Damballa CSP sits out-of-band inside the service provider's network and monitors DNS requests (non-PII traffic) from the subscriber's IP address, which enables it to identify subscriber devices infected with advanced malware.[12]
In 2013, Damballa was granted its first two patents,[13] related to detecting advanced threats. Patent 8,566,928[14] describes methods for detecting a first network of compromised computers in a second network of computers, while patent 8,578,497[15] describes methods for analyzing domain names that are not registered that are collected from an asset in a real network.
In February 2014, the company was granted a third patent, # US20120198549, for its "Method and system for detecting malicious domain names at an upper DNS hierarchy", which describes a methodology for identifying potential malicious domain names used to propagate threats.[16]

I'm watching (prolly not primal) college football today and was wondering if it was primal. I'll acquiesce that te padding isn't.
Starting Date: Dec 18, 2010
Starting Weight: 294 pounds
Current Weight: 235 pounds
Goal Weight: 195 pounds
Who cares... if I have to use my entire 20% to watch football I will it helps if you eat chicken wings while watching. That's what I will be doing tomorrow (NFL kinda girl)
Real Futbol is...:-) as is Rugby!!!!
Free your mind, and your Grok will follow!
yes, because sport is inherently.
and, the sport existed before the current padding, and padding has been used for a vary long time for people (like, shields).
It's the best team sport that I know of. I like football, MMA, golf, and beach volleyball.

I don't care.
I love my football.
You will not take it away.

I've wondered this before I heard of primal diet. There were just over 100 students in my high school. The teams we play were the same size. Our high school student body was kind of a tribe. The boys were expected to play even if they didn't care for the game. It think it had to do with the physical nature of the game because expectation didn't apply to basketball or track.
Some of the sayings and cheers were along the lines of "we have to win this game for the school's honor." Now as a parent it think its a stupid sport given the injury rate. If someone tried to institute football today, knowing the injury rate, parents and insurance companies would fight it
Would I be putting a grain-feed cow on a fad diet if I took it out of the feedlot and put it on pasture eating the grass nature intended?
I'd say it depends who you're rooting for lol

While all teams in the NBA charge more than they should for a ticket to a game, here are five teams that are charging fans way too much to watch his or her favorite team.
According to a January 2012 publication of Team Marketing Report, the average price of an NBA ticket is $48.48.
Thanks to teams like the New York Knicks and Miami Heat, who had significant increases, the league averaged a 1.7 percent rise in average ticket prices from last season.
It is still possible to buy cheaper tickets as each team still sells a $10 ticket for their games, but for the seat one would get it would be better to stay home and watch the game on TV.
After looking at this list and matching it up to a team's current performance, here are the teams whose average ticket price is too high in relation to their performance on the court.

a magic attraction and charm
Favorite thing: More than 100000 tourists visit Saint-Tropez every day. It is not only because of the well known movie stars, luxury boats, wonderful harbor view, sunny days and night lights. There is a magic attraction and charm in the atmosphere there.
You may walk along the harbor and luxury boats there, visit the the famous gendarmerie building and the Citadel – there is a beautiful view.
It is worth to stop by Port Grimaud. You may also take a boat trip from Saint-Tropez to Port Grimaud. There is a beautiful view from the Grimaud Castle. It is worth visit it too.
My small video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5a-a6dqdHY with the famous song of Jenny Rock "Douliou Dou St-Tropez".

Travelling to St Tropez from St Raphael
Favorite thing: To the best of my knowledge there are only two ferry drop off points in St Tropez.
One is slightly west of the marina right on the main car park and about 5 mins slow walk from the harbour the other is in the harbour its self.
Unless you can afford a helicopter flight you will not be flying into St Tropez La Mole perhaps, but it will be an expensive transfer from there.
your only other options are:
A Taxi from St Raphael seriously this only advisable if you own your own bank! and depending on the time of day you travel have about three hours to waste in traffic listening to the driver moan that YOUR journey is costing HIM a small fortune in lost business!!
A Bus depending upon the time of day you travel this will be either slow or very slow but reasonably priced.
Favorite thing: After the downfall of the roman empire, Provence was regularly invaded by various populations, sweeping away the local inhabitants. At the end of the 1st millenium, all of them had fled the area.
In 972 Guillaume of Provence drove the last invaders away and built what is now known as " La Tour Suffren".During the 15th century, King René of Provence, "Good King René", dedicated himself to reviving and repopulating Provence, devasted by invasions and plague.
In 1441, he created for his Chamberlain Jean de Cossa the Barony of Grimaud, the latter quickly realised that the Saint-Tropez Bay was the weak spot of the area, and therefore had to be protected.
He entrusted an Italian nobleman Raphaël di Garrezzio, with the task of rebuilding, fortifying and repopulating the town; together with 21 Genoese families, they rebuilt the town and its batlements, part of which can still be seen nowadays. As a compensation for defending and populating the town, the inhabitants were free of all taxes and levies.
In 1558, the king granted them the privilege of raising an army under the authority of a town Captain elected by major citizens. In 1637, the tropezian army drove away 21 spanish gallions. All those privileges were abrogated by King Louis the XIVth in 1672, when a royal garrison was posted at the Citadelle ( it is now a Naval Museum).
Fondest memory: During the XIVth Century, besides traditional activities such as ; fishing, shipbuilding, commerce and agriculture, many tropezians were sailors and navigators to protect and defend tropezians and later french shores.The most famous of them was " Pierre André Bailli de Suffren"1729-1788, he was appointed commander of the Royal Navy by Louis the XVIth.
Another one was le" Général Allard", 1785-1839, who was born and died in Saint-TRopez, he was a staunch supporter of Napoleon and " aide de camp" to Marshal Brune. After he fell out of favour in 1815, he went to the Indies were he led an adventurous life. His indian Sikh widow, survived him for 40 years in Saint-Tropez.
Also, Queen Marie de Medecis called at Saint-Tropez in 1600 and was presented with a coral branch fished off " La Moutte".In 1615 the Shogun's brother and his retinue sought shelter from a storm in the bay. In 1793, during the french Revolution, Barras persuaded the tropezians to give back the town its ancient name of Heraclea.
During the XIXth Century, all activities linked with the Navy took on a significant importance.In 1860 a three masted 740 tons ship was built in Saint-Tropez it was the jewel of the Navy. During that time, Saint-Tropez expanded and thrived.The statue of "Le bailli de Suffren" was erected on the Harbour in 1866 .Emilie Ollivier minister of Napoleon the 3rd died in 1913 and was buried in the vault he had built overlooking" les Salins" opposite his estate at la Moutte.
Each year some of the most important historical and religious events are commemorated in Saint-Tropez during the Bravades on May the 16th,17th and 18th by the whole population in honour of their ancestors and worship of their Patron Saint.

Glitz and glamour with a touch of old world charm
Favorite thing: Its always difficult to try to sum up a favourite thing about a destination. I love to travel, I don't yet get to do as much as I'd like, but that will come, but the times I am away I try to make the most of and see good things in any place, whether it be a big city or small village. I think you can always come away with something positive, even if you hated the place!
As I was on an adventure holiday, this was the first time I had the opportunity to do any kind of watersport and the warmth of the Med was perfect for that. The backdrop wasn't bad either with the port of St. Tropez on one side, St. Maxime on the other with the Alps maritime in the background.
Fondest memory: I miss the warm evenings, the good food and wine and the great company, considering I had not met these people before the holiday, it was just a fantastic time. The town of St. Tropez could sometimes be rude and arrogant, but nonetheless walking round the narrow streets, seeing the view of the bay you can't fail to be impressed. I will always remember watching all the yachts return from the open sea on a Saturday afternoon, there were literally 100s of them. It was just an impressive sight.

- Sailing and Boating
Reach the Beach
Favorite thing: Move away from the bustle of the town and you will find some gorgeaous beaches, many secluded, although you will find that a lot of people do this same thing. We went up to Cap Taillat, to the south of St.Tropez, and lay in the sunshine amid clear turquoise waters. This photo should tempt you!
Blue Bird
Favorite thing: Not a real blue bird but the boat with the name Blue Bird. Look at the glamor inside and the lovely sun terrace.
White tuned Porsche Cayenne
Favorite thing: A rich boy from Monte Carlo with the mandatory accessory - the white (the color of choice to show off) Porsche Cayenne. I can only imagine how it's like in St. Tropez in summer season.
Two more boats
Favorite thing: I guess that having a bigger two story boat makes you richer than the rich one having only a one story boat.
The peacock
Favorite thing: This colorful bird was walking on the stairs leading to the Citadell. I did not had the chance to see it's tail open but still I took some pictures.
Row of houses in the harbor
Favorite thing: Narrow houses on the side of the harbor pathway, either hotel, to rent or owned apartments, they are in the heart of St. Tropez
The Old Town
Favorite thing: The Old Town is worth a look around. You may find it nice and quiet, away from the throngs around the Port.

This involved a multifaceted search for studies written between 1975 and May 2007 using various bibliographic databases, dissertation databases, hand searches of selected journals and published compilations of AAC theses and dissertations, and ancestry searches. To be included, studies had to meet stringent criteria. A coding manual and form facilitated data extraction in terms of participant characteristics, treatment characteristics, design and measurement, and outcomes.ResultsNine single-subject experimental design (27 participants) and 2 group studies (98 participants) were included. Results indicated that AAC interventions do not impede speech production. In fact, most studies reported an increase in speech production. However, in-depth analyses revealed that the gains were rather modest.ConclusionsAlthough AAC interventions do not appear to impede speech production and may result in increased speech production, the modest gains observed require realistic expectations among clinicians and other stakeholders. Future research should be more hypothesis driven and aim to identify predictive child characteristics, such as prior speech imitation and object exploration skills.
