A report by UNICEF India in January 2009 found that about a million neonatal deaths occur in the country each year. Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) has the largest population of any state in India and continuing problems with neonatal mortality. In an effort to tackle this problem PATH India with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has initiated Sure Start, a five year project that works with a population of roughly 25 million in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
A major contributor to these death rates is the lack of literacy and awareness that exists in the rural areas of the country. For example, the benefits of immediate and exclusive breastfeeding are not well understood. For this purpose Sure Start in U.P. works with community health workers and facilitates the functioning of village health and sanitation committees.

After being the world leader in nuclear power for many years, the U.S. dropped out and has been huddled in fear since the Three-Mile Island nuclear power plant incident in 1979.
In the 30 years since, the U.S. has added many nuclear weapons to its defense arsenal, which are stored in various unknown locations around the country. The U.S. Navy has continued to build its awesome fleet of nuclear-powered warships non-stop for more than 50 years. Many of those are docked near major populated areas for long periods of time. And there are 104 nuclear power plants built prior to Three-Mile Island still operating in the U.S.
So many of those who fear nuclear power, who form resistance groups every time a new nuclear plant is proposed, have been driving by, living near, or working close to nuclear power plants for decades. The big fear of what to do with spent fuel rods that remain radioactive for generations, has been handled for decades by shipping them across the country to storage facilities without incident.

Louisiana and the nation face problems that won’t be solved by the health-care bill now in Congress, said state Secretary of Health and Hospitals Alan Levine on Tuesday.
Levine was in town to speak at the monthly meeting of the Thibodaux Rotary Club, held at Envie Restaurant.
Levine said national health-care costs are too high and coverage needs to be expanded. But these problems are not addressed in the bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives Saturday, he said.
“When you read this 2,000-page bill, it goes so far beyond that you forget what you’re trying to solve,” Levine said. “This idea that the public option is the solution is just wrong.”
