'news_box' is broken;  it is searching for 'meta_type', rather than
'Type'::

  
  <dtml-in "portal_catalog.searchResults( meta_type='News Item'
                                        , sort_on='Date'
                                        , sort_order='reverse'
                                        , review_state='published'
                                        )" size="10">

shoule be (you can customize it to get this)::
  
  <dtml-in "portal_catalog.searchResults( Type='News Item'
                                        , sort_on='effective'
                                        , sort_order='reverse'
                                        , review_state='published'
                                        )" size="10">

Note that I munged the 'sort_on' key, as well, to use a "real"
date field;  you may not like this, however.  I will check in the
fix ('Type' instead of 'meta_type') this morning.
