A word from Avenue Grill - Denver
The Avenue Grill is renowned for its award-winning martinis, wine list, friendly bartenders and a welcoming, inimitable style.Continued
The Avenue is a favored lunch and dinner destination among the uptown Denver business crowd, as well as a popular neighborhood bar and grill. What attracts them is the unpretentious, superior service, comfortable ambience and delicious food. The menu is reminiscent of a San Francisco-style bar and grill with Asian and Italian influences.

- Incredible food, incredible serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014I've been to Avenue Grill a dozen times. I was so thrilled to see they added a small patio and have gone three times since just to sit outside. The service is always incredible, and I love how sweet and genuine every server I've had has been. The food is world class, with items I love that can't be found just anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A last-minute reservation!FitforFoodieVIPDined on 9/13/2014Fortunately for us, there was one table left by the window when we arrived! The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us where we wanted. Our waiter --Rico-- was friendly and helpful. Our appetizer was one of the best we'd had. I had the lamb, which was tasty but a little tough for my taste (I'm typically not a meat eater); my husband really enjoyed the clam chowder. Dessert was wonderful. This reservation was a find! We will go back.Special Features:
- Fantastic!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/12/2014The food here is amazing. Everything we had was wonderful - potstickers, filet, ono fish, stroganoff and the parmesan potatoes - awesome! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will go back again. The cocktails aren't bad either. The service was good and our server seemed very happy to be working there. I really have nothing bad to say about this place.Special Features:
- Going downhillOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/12/2014Over the past five years I've been dining at this restaurant, I've slowly seen it lose quality and go downhill. The food never tastes fresh, the menu never changes, the main courses always taste sopped in butter or cream and the service is remarkably bad. The last time I ate there, I think it took our waitress about 25 minutes to take our order (the restaurant was empty) and it took three asks to get our bill at the end of the meal. I will have to be desperate to choose this restaurant again.
- Will be backbarbDined on 8/28/2014We both had the mussels and salmon. Both were perfectly cooked. The broth/sauce the mussels were cooked in was absolutely outstanding. Veggies with salmon roasted well without overcooking. Desserts, lime and bread pudding were very good and portions perfect, not large.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Consistently a five star experienceEditorchrisDined on 8/23/2014I LOVE AVENUE GRILL! if only I lived closer, but even at an hour away I'm willing to make the drive because the dining experience is always first rate. Recently we dined there before a production at the Avenue Theater and as usual we were in dining heaven. Every course from appetizer to dessert was sublime. And to top it off the staff goes above and behind to make sure your every need is met, from hostess at the door to wait staff to server, all outstanding. Every dish we have had there whether it be lunch or dinner has been taste bud tintillating. You won't be disappointed if you give Avenue Grill a try, and no matter how far away you live, you will return - again and again.Special Features:

- MariaDined on 8/15/2014Always a great place to eat! We love Avenue Grill. Love to go there for occasions...or just for dinner. Their food is consistently good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Skip the shrimpOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/14/2014We had lunch at Avenue Grill recently, and the food was just ok. One person in our group had the shrimp on the Cobb salad, and it was just about to go bad, so after one bite she didn't eat the rest. If we had more time we might have asked for something else, but we had to get back to work, so didn't say anything.
- Very oddAerahVIPDined on 8/10/2014My server somehow charged us too much and commented on it after the checks had been dropped. When they tried to correct it they re ran my card twice with pending transactions so my car was then declined on the their swipe. Charges are still pending so I am left with little money for the next three days. Will not be returning.

- Always a treatnewfanDined on 7/25/2014We have been to the Avenue Grill many times for dinner and an occasional lunch. The food is consistently good and the service is top notch. It's one of our favorite go-to places in Denver! We love to sit at the window tables in the late evening. It's a taste of New York chic right in Colorado.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisapointingOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/25/2014Had to send two entrees back because one was over cooked and the other undercooked. So sad I used to love going here.

Our server was very good this lunch and did an excellent job of gauging when we needed privacy for business and when we would like her attention. It's always a plus that the manager comes by to make sure things are going well with everything.Special Features:
- Food and Drink ParadiserockinfoodieDined on 7/12/2014Celebrated our 30 year vow renewal ceremony/anniversary at Avenue Grill. Katy, our server, was great and spot on throughout the meal. House Sangria (yummy), and the house beef stroganoff is a must! as is the Ahi Tuna. ENJOY!Special Features:

- Great for BrunchBobInDenverDined on 7/6/2014We've been going to Avenue Grill for 16 of their 25 years, and have never had a bad experience. The special July 4 weekend brunch kept the streak going. A $4 giant Bellini is a great way to start a Sunday morning, and the "brunch bread" took the edge off during the remarkably short wait for the food to arrive. The place was busy but not crowded, with a number of regulars who were greeted by name by the wait staff. We love the urban atmosphere, classy without being stuffy, and we usually snag a table by the large windows looking out on 17th Avenue. A nice dinner with wine and all the fixings can set you back over $100 for two, this delightful brunch cost just over$30, including the Bellinis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Denver ClassicOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/4/2014We discovered the Avenue Grill in the mid 1990's. Have not been back to Denver for many years and wanted to go back to one of our favorites. They still serve a great Martini and the menu, updated for current tastes, is very good. We'll be back again because the Avenue is in a class above the ordinary "restaurants".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gourmetSteveDined on 6/29/2014The items we chose were all the best. Well done and creative! A favorite spot that I have repeated many times!Special Features:
- Service great, food fairGoodFoodFanVIPDined on 6/27/2014Our server was great. There when needed, attentive and friendly. Knew the menu. Food was, at best, fair. Party of 4, each ordered different entrees. There was no "wow". The food was just off, not flavorful, not spiced right, just disappointing. Doubt I would go back.
- Outstanding for over 20 yearsElLagarto1VIPDined on 6/27/2014After many years of outstanding service in the Uptown Neighborhood, the family-owned-and operated Avenue Grill continues to offer what is among the best service, cuisine, dining environments in downtown Denver. The description of the Avenue as a "traditional San Francisco style neighborhood restaurant" is right on the mark. The Avenue Grill is my very favorite Denver restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- True EnjoymentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/25/2014Buffalo and filet were excellent. Veggies succulent and done perfect. Great Caesar salad as well. Authentic with anchovies on the side if you wish. Moderately priced. Dinner for two (no drinks) was $72. Dine outside if the weather is nice :)Special Features:
- Prime Rib NightCODinerVIPDined on 6/23/2014Don't miss Prime Rib Monday, it is always good. Get there early.Special Features:
- Not Impressed!RHenryDined on 6/21/2014Had reservations on Saturday, June 21st at 11:00 am. for myself, my daughter and grandson. When we arrived, the hostess was on the phone and there were only 4 other people in the entire restaurant. We waited at the podium until she could figure out where we should sit; she started to take us to a four seater in the front by the window and said "oh wait" this one is reserved????? So we went back to the podium to figure out where we should sit?? Ok, I thought making a reservation would speed up the seating process but obviously not! Finally, were seated, and a waiter named Rico came over after we sat there for almost 20 minutes; took drink order made jokes and left. Food was mediocre, poorly seasoned and small portions. Disappointing!
- Fantastic ExperienceTheDinnerClubDined on 6/20/2014Our "dinner group" met at Avenue Grill for this month's gathering. There were ten of us, and Avenue Grill had no problem letting us make a reservation on-line for a group this size (many other places won't allow it). Upon arriving, our group was promptly seated and our server, Katie, saw to everyone's needs. She was very attentive throughout our entire time at the restaurant from our initial drink order through dessert. Everything we ordered was delivered to our table in a reasonable time, was hot, cooked properly, and delicious! I ordered the Avenue filet and it was one of the best steaks I can remember eating in a very long time. I would rate the Avenue Grill as one of the best bargains in fine dining that Denver has to offer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodFoodDined on 6/15/2014Been going to the Avenue Grill since it opened...still going because it's always good.Special Features:
- mitchVIPDined on 6/15/2014Our party of 6 was there for Father's Day brunch. The place was understaffed, the waitstaff not able to provide decent service. One person at our table sent back COLD quiche. It was returned after the rest of party was finished....and it was still cold and looked even less appetizing. This has been a favorite of our family and we have eaten here frequently. The restaurant has seemed to be having management, staffing problems for the last several months. Father's Day brunch may be the last time we eat here.
- Nice SurpriseAndriaLLDined on 6/15/2014I was just looking for a 10:00 reservation anywhere in Denver for Father's Day as we had a lot to do and it was the only time we could find. The food was excellent. In our family we have a pescetarian, a wheat allergy, a tomato allergy and a shellfish allergy. Everyone was able to order a meal they enjoyed at a decent price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luv2eatDined on 6/15/2014Maybe it's what I ordered, but I didn't care for this restaurant. I was looking for a brunch for Father's Day. Should have gone with my first choice. My husband liked his steak. I had the salmon quiche.
- Love this placeDurangoDined on 6/14/2014I look forward to coming back here soon! The food is amazing & the service is exceptional.Special Features:
- DisappointingbadBdayDined on 6/13/2014Seemed like it should be great place to eat but......... Cioppino - good serving size but tasteless, had to put in some wasabi to get any flavor. Duck very average. Seared AHi tuna done perfectly but again not much flavor. Had to return the 1st Martini as it was watered down from a lot of melting ice. Took 10 minutes just to get the waitress to come so we COULD return it. Waitress came to take our wine order when we were over half done our meal so we did not order wine. We were there for my wife's B'day but will not soon be back.Special Features:

The Gen6 Car Gets Another Look at Daytona
7/6/13 in NASCAR | Debi_L | 11868 respect
Go figure. I guess there wasn't enough drama in NASCAR this week, so some had to be created.
In any case, confiscation or not, Matt Kenseth showed last night that he has Daytona all figured out. First he came out and led the Daytona 500 in a brand new car with a brand new team, only to be taken out by a failed engine. After the win in the Nationwide series last night, and a front row start for tonight's race, one can only hope the engines will hold up and give Kenseth the win he deserves. His teammate, Kyle Busch, the pole winner, might be his biggest competition. In fact, with Toyota dominating the top ten positions, it will be interesting to see if they can hold it all together, or if the Fords and Chevrolets will show themselves. Kasey Kahne is the only Chev starting in the top five.
One thing to definitely hope for is a race. We always know there is about a 99% chance we will see a big one, but some racing during green flag laps is a benefit. A parade of cars or a two-car-tango is not what the fans want to see. By most accounts, the Gen6 car will allow us to see racing.
But back to the Nationwide race for a second. We all know that I am a strong advocate for the series to be a Nationwide drivers only race. I've said that for years, back when it was the Busch series. I still say that. However, I will say I enjoy the parade of special paint some of the Sprint Cup drivers display. This year it was Kurt Busch channeling Cole Trickle. Travis Pastana had a Red White and Blue scheme in honor of Independence Day. In 2010, Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove the Childress Racing number 3 Wrangler. For tonight's race, Brad Keselowski also has a Red White and Blue paint scheme, but the Nationwide Series paint schemes always seem to be the ones I remember.
Before I wrap this up for today and let you get on with making your race picks, I want to offer one more gem. Most of the race tracks on the circuit are suffering financially, due to empty seats. Unfortunately, although most of the tracks are offering deals on ticket prices, the businesses surrounding the tracks can't be counted on to do the same. As we've heard many times, although Bristol is one of the best races to attend live, the average Joe can't afford to stay in a hotel for even one night, let alone two, when the room prices triple and sometimes quadruple for race weekend. That, my friends, is the very definition of gouging, in my opinion. Daytona will undergo a radical transformation over the next three years, commencing immediately after tonight's race, and in fact, ground breaking has already taken place. It has been dubbed "Daytona Rising" and will see the removal of 31% of the seating. However, when completed, the seating will be transformed into "Neighborhoods", and the plan promises a better experience for those fans who do spend the big bucks to attend a race. With big screen TV's visible from every seat, fans are promised they will miss none of the action. Everyone seems to think it will be a much better experience, and worth the money.
I'll reserve judgment on that. In fact, I'll go attend racing at my local track where I can see the cars race, in person, with no TV screens necessary. I'll get the dust from the track on my clothes, breath in the oil and gas fumes, eat a hot dog, complete with said dust, and drink a cold beverage poured into a Red Solo Cup. It costs me $15 to get into the track. A hot dog is $2.50 and a beer is $5. And the racing is definitely something to cheer about.
Yep, one of these days I'd love to go to Daytona or Bristol. I guess I'll just keep buying those lottery tickets.
I'm taking Dale Earnhardt Jr this week. Enough engine problems. Enough bad luck. Jr., let your talent shine through this weekend.
How about you? Who's your pick?

As much as 75% of all pregnancies worldwide are unplanned or unwanted, accounting for nearly 300,000 new pregnancies every day.1 To the extent that rapid population growth can lead to low levels of human capital investment and continued poverty for future generations, the ability to control fertility can have broad social and economic consequences. Recent evidence suggests that access to contraceptives may improve economic outcomes and reduce poverty by allowing women to optimally time births, increasing women's investment in education and participation in the labor market at childbearing ages. There are also direct consequences for individual well-being: significant reported need for contraceptives suggests that fertility outcomes outstrip fertility desires in many parts of the developing world.
Women's unmet need for contraceptives is commonly explained by three factors: (i) insufficient supply of appropriate contraception; (ii) lack of information or misinformation about those methods; and (iii) restrictive social norms governing fertility control. An alternative hypothesis is that excess fertility reflects the outcome of bargaining between partners with divergent fertility preferences. In many countries men dominate decisions regarding sexual relations and contraception, and spousal discordance may be a prominent factor influencing fertility outcomes.
Zambia currently holds one of the world's highest maternal mortality ratios, with 729 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births,2 and a similarly high infant mortality ratio with 103 deaths per 1,000 live births.3 Family planning and reproductive health services are not uniformly available throughout the country, and 60% of currently pregnant women in Lusaka report that the pregnancy was unwanted. Although 100% of women reporting unwanted pregnancies report being familiar with at least one method of modern contraception, only 48% have ever used any modern method of contraception, and only 37% currently use modern contraceptives.
This study evaluates the effect of male involvement on female contraceptive use through an experiment designed to remove the factors of insufficient supply, lack of information, misinformation, and divergent fertility preferences. Study participants include 1,994 married women who had given birth in the last two years living in compounds serviced by Chipata Clinic in Lusaka.
Women in the study received vouchers that granted appointments with a family planning nurse at the local government clinic, without waiting more than one hour and with guaranteed access to the modern contraceptive method of their choice. An information session explaining all methods of family planning was also given to study participants at the time of voucher distribution. Women were randomized into two treatment groups. In the "individual" arm of the study, women were given these vouchers alone. In the "couples" arm, women were given these vouchers in the presence of their husbands. In all other respects, the experimental protocol in the individual and couples arms was identical.
Take up of the voucher was high at 47%, indicating that women valued the substantial reduction in the time cost of an appointment associated with the voucher.
However, evidence suggests that sharing information about family planning services with husbands reduces the couple's propensity to utilize these services. Women who received the voucher in the presence of their husbands were 9 percentage points (18%) less likely to use the voucher to obtain an appointment at a family planning clinic. There is an even larger, 12 percentage point reduction in voucher use for couples where the husband reported wanting more children than the wife. Still a larger reduction in use is reported among younger couples, giving evidence for the hypothesis that differences in future preferences for fertility drive differences in demand for family planning services.
Male knowledge of the voucher led to a substantial reduction in use of these services, suggesting that policies or technologies that shift relative control of contraceptive methods from men to women may significantly increase contraceptive use and reduce average fertility in some contexts. This is important to note given that an increasing number of policymakers have started to promote "male involvement" in family planning. It also suggests that take up of particular modern contraceptive methods may be sensitive to the amount of control women can exercise relative to their husbands in the use of these methods.

Non-profit and public organizations increasingly rely on the services of community members to deliver and promote health goods. Community member involvement in the distribution of health goods can have significant benefits for the community at large, but only if the commitment and motivation of the community members is sustainable. While there is a significant literature on the role of incentives in the commercial sphere, there is little evidence on how various compensation schemes affect motivation when a task has a social benefit. Standard financial incentives that increase motivation in the commercial sphere may actually crowd-out intrinsic motivation for socially beneficial tasks, which may reduce overall performance. Alternatively, financial incentives may have little impact on performance if individuals drawn to mission-driven organizations place little weight on financial gains. Thus, the question of how to compensate community agents remains a challenge for many non-profit employers who hope to leverage this valuable community resource.
Zambia has one of the world's highest adult HIV prevalence rates at 14.3 percent. It is estimated that in 2009, 1 million Zambians were living with HIV and 45,000 died of HIV related causes. Although male and female condoms are currently the only protection methods available for HIV, condom use is low and its social acceptability remains problematic. The female condom may be particularly important in the public health community, as it is the only female-controlled tool for HIV/AIDS and other STI prevention. However, like many new technologies, a lack of information about correct use, commonly held misconceptions about the product, and insufficient distribution networks hinder uptake and use of the female condom. This evaluation seeks to investigate the use of hair stylists as private sector channels for the distribution of female condoms.
Researchers partnered with Society for Family Health (SFH) to evaluate their female condom distribution program in Lusaka. SFH's strategy uses social marketing to promote and distribute health products via community-based agents with connections to the local community. In this case, the community agents were hairdressers and barbers in Lusaka, who were asked to promote female condoms through their shops. Hairstylists were identified as ideal promoters of female condoms both because the familiarity between the stylist and the client creates the potential for successful targeting of female condom to "at risk" customers, and because during the period that a client is in the salon, he or she is a captive audience, allowing the stylist to provide information about the condom.
The study testedthe effect of both financial and non-financial rewards on the selection and performance of agents engaged in promoting female condoms by randomly assigning 1,222 hair stylists to one of four groups:
Several key features served to identify the effect of different incentive schemes on performance and the underlying mechanisms: (1) Information was collected on all agents who could have applied for the job, to test whether different incentive contracts attract different agents type; (2) Agents' performance was measured monthly over a one year horizon, to test whether changes in behavior may be due to a novelty effect; and (3) A modified altruism (dictator) game yielded direct and quantitative measure of the agents' motivation for the cause, and tested whether financial incentives reduced performance by crowding out intrinsic motivation.
Condom Sales:Non-financial incentives were the most effective at generating female condom sales. Hair stylists in the "star" treatment sold twice as many packs of condoms (14 vs 7) as agents in any other group. In other words, the likelihood of selling at least one pack was 12 percentage points higher for agents in the star treatment; this represents a 33 percent increase over the mean of the control group. Agents in the high and low financial reward treatments, in contrast, were not more likely to sell at least one pack than agents in the control group. However, the sales levels overall were generally low. Even in the star treatment, the average promoter sold slightly more than one pack per month.
Mechanisms of impact: Further analysis indicates that the non-financial incentives operated through two channels. First, non-financial incentives seemed to leverage intrinsic motivation for the cause - they were more than twice as effective for stylists who are motivated by the cause, as measured both by their donation in the altruism game and by personal characteristics correlated with motivation. Second, non-financial incentives appear to have facilitated social comparison among stylists - the impact of the incentives increased with the number of neighboring salons that received the same treatment.
Contrary to existing evidence, researchers found no evidence that financial incentives crowded out intrinsic motivation. On the contrary, high financial rewards were more effective for agents who scored higher on our motivation measure.
Results forthcoming.

Many climate change programs that target small-scale farmers seek to change farmers' agricultural practices, whether to sequester additional carbon or to improve climate resiliency. Farmers are often hesitant to adopt new practices as they often entail high upfront costs. Climate change programs therefore generally provide inputs or incentives for adopting and complying with the program's objectives. Yet it is unclear how much farmers respond to inputs and incentives, and to which they respond more favorably. This study in Zambia assesses the impact of two programs, one that provides incentives to farmers to grow a nitrogen-fixing tree, and another that provides inputs.
Financing for carbon offset investments is growing quickly. The voluntary market for carbon offsets traded over 700 million dollars worth of emissions reductions in 2008, a third of which came from land use projects.[1] These investments have the potential to benefit smallholder farmers, not only by creating revenue from selling carbon credits, but also by incentivizing more climate-resilient agricultural practices and technologies to increase production. Many climate change programs that target smallholder farmers seek to modify current agricultural practices, whether to sequester additional carbon or to improve climate resiliency. Because these changes often impose costs on the farmer, many programs provide upfront inputs or incentives for adopting and complying with the program's objectives.
However, in spite of a growing number of NGO- and government-led adaptation and climate resilience projects, farmer adoption remains a challenge and concerns persist due to the high cost of inputs, training and monitoring in comparison to the value of the credits earned from sequestered carbon. A more rigorous understanding of the relationship between input costs, compliance incentives and program outcomes may help improve the success and cost effectiveness of both carbon offsets and climate resiliency programs. To date, none of the numerous programs that offer landholders inputs or performance payments have systematically varied contract design to generate causal evidence on the determinants of program success. This study proposes address this knowledge gap in the context of a program promoting fertilizer trees in Eastern Zambia.
The project implementation is designed to allow the researchers to investigate (a) the role of option value in shaping farmer decisions, and (b) the effect of cost sharing and performance incentives on selection into the project and on long-run performance under the contract.
The partner organization, Mitengo Zambia promotes a fertilizer tree (Faidherbia albida), locally known as the masangu tree, both for its carbon sequestration potential and its ability to help farmers adapt to a changing climate. Faidherbia fixes nitrogen in its leaves, providing benefits to farmers, including better soil fertility, maize yields and resilience to climate change. To grow the tree, seedlings must be purchased and raised, and then planted among low growing crops, weeded and watered. These adoption costs are highest in the first year and tree survival is low.
Mitengo Zambia has partnered with Dunavant Cotton to investigate the carbon sequestration and soil fertility potential of encouraging agroforestry adoption among Dunavant farmers. Findings from the research phase will be incorporated in program scale-up with Dunavant Zambia Limited, a leading cotton ginning company in Zambia.
Around 2,000 outgrower farmers associated with Dunavant cotton in Chipata, Eastern Province, Zambia receive training and subsidized inputs (seedlings) for growing Faidherbia on their land. Most Dunavant farmers produce on a small-scale, with a mean landholding size in the study sample of around one hectare, and have access to loans for cotton inputs from Dunavant. The company organizes the farmers into groups of approximately 15 geographically clustered farmers. Each group has one lead farmer who, under the Dunavant system, is responsible for training his farmer group on cotton production and, under the Mitengo Zambia program, on Faidherbia planting and management.
Lead farmers organize trainings on Faidherbia for their groups of farmers, which are attended by Mitengo Zambia and IPA staff who assist with administration of the treatments and the baseline survey.
After their training, farmers decide whether to join the program based on two factors:
(1) Variation in input prices – Farmer groups will be randomly assigned to receive one of four input prices that range from fully subsidized (free) to the cost-recovery price for the implementing organization (approximately $2.50 US). A transport allowance (of $2.50), provided to the farmers to remunerate any transportation costs of attending the lead farmer's training, ensures that farmers have enough cash to make a participation decision based on willingness to pay, not on liquidity constraints. Variation in input prices allows researchers to test hypotheses on risk and on cost-sharing. Specifically, how the probability of take-up changes as the input prices increase, controlling for individual characteristics and incentives, will be assessed.
(2) Variation in incentives – Individuals will be randomly assigned to receive different levels of incentive pay, which farmers are informed of either before or after making their take-up decision. The range of incentives is based on project pilots from the previous year, which ranged from $0 - $30 (0 - 150,000 ZMK). The use of scratch-off cards to reveal the incentives ensures that incentives cannot be manipulated and that the variation is perceived as fair by the participants. Incentives will be paid after one year, conditional on 70% tree survival. All farmers received 50 seedlings. The variation in incentives will allow researchers to test the causal effect of incentives, by comparing the probability of take-up and the rate of tree survival for farmers at different incentive levels, controlling for individual characteristics.
At the time of training, farmers receive a detailed baseline household questionnaire that includes modules on demographics, socioeconomic status, agriculture and environmental knowledge. The survey is administered to all farmers who attend the training, regardless of their decision to participate. One year after contracts are initiated, all participating farmers will be visited and the number of surviving trees recorded, an incentive payments delivered on the basis of tree survival.
Summary results forthcoming.

[1]Conte, M. and M. Kotchen. Explaining the price of voluntary carbon offsets. Working Paper. (2009)
More than 1 billion people living in low-income countries do not have access to clean drinking water,1 leaving them at risk for diarrheal diseases which are transmitted when a water supply is contaminated with fecal matter. Diarrhea remains a serious concern in low-income countries, where it caused 2.6 million deaths per year between 1990 and 2000.2 Even when diarrheal episodes do not prove fatal, they can have long-term consequences on a child's cognitive and physical development. Multiple interventions from handwashing to water source protection have been considered, but questions remain. Particularly, it is not known whether people will be more likely to use a product if it is given for free, or if the consumer is charged a small positive price.
Contaminated water is a leading cause of diarrhea in Zambia, where only 64% of the population has access to safe drinking water sources. Among children under five, 21% have had diarrhea in the past two weeks, regardless of water source or location.3 Many homes in Lusaka, Zambia's largest city, obtain water from un-sanitized sources. Clorin, an inexpensive chlorine bleach solution used to kill pathogens in drinking water, is a popular product in Zambia to reduce the incidence of water-borne illnesses, and approximately 80% of people have used it at some point. Charging for this effective health intervention could potentially discourage use, but by virtue of having paid for it, it is also possible that people might value the product more, increasing its use. Because it is hard to determine using observational data whether higher prices results in more product usage, or simply deliver the product to those who value it most, an experiment is needed help separate the effects.
Researchers present evidence on the effect of prices on product use from a large-scale field experiment. The intervention consisted of a door-to-door sale of Clorin at a randomly chosen, below-market "offer price" to about 1,260 households with poor access to piped water or chlorine home-delivery. Clorin, retailing for about 25 cents, is inexpensive so as not to discourage use based on income. Those who chose to buy the product were then offered a randomly chosen discount, allowing for a varied "transaction price". Researchers returned to those households and conducted a follow-up survey and chemical water test to determine how often Clorin was used.
Screening and Sunk Cost Effect:Researchers sought to find whether higher prices can help target those who would most use the product (screening effect) by seeing if, as the offer price rose, those who chose to buy Clorin had higher usage, implying higher expected benefits. Researchers also sought to determine whether higher prices resulted in a higher propensity to use (sunk cost effect). Assuming households incur a higher psychological cost if they do not use a product they have paid more for, they will be likely to use Clorin if the price was increased. Therefore, for a given offer price, a higher transaction price could lead to a stronger desire to rationalize one's purchase through use.
Impact on Clorin Use:Researchers found that fewer people bought Clorin as the price rose; for every 1% increase in price there was a 0.67% decrease in quantity demanded. However higher prices did appear to screen out those who would not have used the product in any event, and a higher willingness to pay was associated with greater propensity to use. As the offer price increased by 10%, use increased by 4% on average among those who did buy the Clorin. No sunk cost effect was observed.
Overall, the use of chlorine does decrease with higher prices due to dampened demand, but this decline is partially offset by better targeting of the product to families who are likely to use it. Significantly, there was no evidence that higher offer prices screened out poorer or less educated households.

At the geographical centre of Bolivia, midway between the Altiplano and the eastern lowlands, COCHABAMBA is the commercial hub of the country's richest agricultural region, the Cochabamba Valley. With a population of more than six hundred thousand, it's a modern, unpretentious and outward-looking commercial city. Named the "City of Eternal Spring", it enjoys a year-round sunny climate that is matched by the warmth and openness of its population. Although most travellers who visit are just passing through, those who spend time here find Cochabamba to be Bolivia's most welcoming city. It is also a good base for exploring the attractions of the surrounding valley – chief among these, in the eyes of the locals at least, is chicha, a thick, lightly alcoholic maize beer.
For all its charm, Cochabamba has few conventional tourist attractions, and little remains of the original colonial city centre. The Museo Archeológico is worth a visit, as is the Cristo de la Concordia, the Christ statue that overlooks Cochabamba from the east. Otherwise, the most interesting areas are the massive, rambling street markets that stretch to the south of the centre, the commercial heart of this market city.
Brief history
The Incas were quick to spot the region's agricultural potential when they conquered it in the mid-fifteenth century, moving Quechua-speakers here to cultivate maize. Inca control of the area was ended by the Spanish, who founded the city of Cochabamba on January 1, 1574, originally naming it La Villa de Oropeza in honour of the Conde de Oropeza, father of the Viceroy Francisco Toledo, who ordered its settlement. Locals soon reverted to calling it by the indigenous place name Cochabamba, a combination of the Quechua words for lake and plain, though all but one of the shallow, swampy lakes that once stood here have now been filled in.
The Spanish established haciendas to produce grain for Potosí's silver mines, and so important was their agricultural work to the colonial economy that the valley's indigenous population was exempted from having to work in the mines under the mita system. When the mines went into decline towards the end of the colonial period and the early republican era, much of the hacienda land was rented out, and the region saw the emergence of a class of small but independent Quechua-speaking peasant farmers, very different in culture and outlook from the rather closed Aymara ayllus of the Altiplano. These peasant farmers played a central role in the emergence of Bolivia's radical peasant political organizations in the 1950s and 1960s and, as migrants to the Chapare, have assumed a key role in the coca-growers' movement of recent years.Read More
La Cancha
La Cancha
In the south of the city, an entire block between calles Tarata and Pulucayo on the east side of Avenida San Martín, is occupied by the massive covered street market known as La Cancha ("walled enclosure" in Quechua), where campesinos and merchants from throughout the region come to buy and sell their produce. Wandering through the market's sprawling labyrinth of stalls is the best way to get a feel for the vibrant commercial culture of the city and the surrounding area: the buzz of Quechua fills the air and the traditional costumes of different campesino groups are very much in evidence, in particular the straw sombreros and bright-coloured pollera skirts of the women of the Cochabamba Valley. This is effectively one massive clearing house for agricultural produce, and the range of foodstuffs on sale reflects the full diversity of Bolivia's different ecological zones. You'll also find pretty much anything else poor Bolivians might need: sacks, rope, ironmongery, medicinal herbs, ritual items for making offerings to Pachamama and the mountain gods, and cheap manufactured goods. La Cancha has overflowed its original bounds, and now spreads across Avenida San Martìn onto the disused railway, and northwest to occupy another entire block between Tarata and Punata, an area now known as the Mercado Inca Llajta ("Inca Town" in Quechua).
Cochabamba and the Water War
Cochabamba and the Water War
Referred to by its inhabitants as "La Llacta", the Quechua equivalent of the Spanish word pueblo, meaning at once city and people or nation, Cochabamba is the centre of a vigorous regional identity, and throughout Bolivian history has enjoyed a reputation for political independence and rebelliousness, a tradition that continues to this day. In 2000 the city's water system was privatized and sold to a consortium of international companies which immediately doubled or even tripled water rates. In response, Cochabamba erupted in a series of spontaneous protests that became known as La Guerra del Agua – "the Water War". Thousands of citizens from all social classes took to the streets to demand rates be lowered, blocking roads in and out of the city. The Banzer government responded in familiar fashion: a state of siege was declared, protest organizers were arrested, armed troops were sent in and plainclothes snipers opened fire on protesters, killing one and injuring many others. Despite this oppression, the demonstrations continued, and the water consortium eventually backed down – a popular victory that was welcomed by anti-globalization campaigners around the world. The excellent 2010 film Tambien la lluvia ("Even the Rain"), starring Gael Garcia Bernal, is set during the Water War.

Farrell Center for Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The Farrell Center was formed in 1992 through an endowment from Michael J. Farrell. The center has three major roles within the Smeal College of Business: creation and management of educational programs in corporate innovation and entrepreneurship; research; and outreach. The center's mission is to contribute to and interpret the best in academic research in the fields of entrepreneurship including innovation and knowledge management, and to translate this into actionable best practices in the commercial and government sectors. Entrepreneurship is treated as a fundamental management discipline that can be applied at any enterprise scale, from start-ups to global corporations. Of particular interest is the role of entrepreneurism in networks of corporations as well as in so-called virtual corporations where the interfaces between existing enterprises become blurred.

Rules for Radicalsby Saul D Alinsky
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is Saul Alinsky's impassioned counsel to young radicals on how to effect constructive social change and know "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Written in the midst of radical political developments whose direction Alinsky was one of the first to question, this volume exhibits his style at its best. Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.
The father of modern community organization, Saul Alinsky taught a generation of activists and politicians how to effectively construct social change. In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky writes with passion and intelligence, carefully outlining "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Indispensable since its first publication in 1971, this book continues to inform and inspire all those who believe that political engagement is the key to maintaining America's democratic tradition.
This primers tells the "have-nots" how they can organize to achieve real political power for the practice of true democracy.
About the Author
Saul Alinsky was born in Chicago in 1909 and educated first in the streets of that city and then in its university. Graduate work at the University of Chicago in criminology introduced him to the Capone gang, and later to Joliet State Prison, where he studied prison life.
He founded what is known today as the Alinsky ideology and Alinsky concepts of mass organization for power. His work in organizing the poor to fight for their rights as citizens has been internationally recognized. In the late 1930s he organized the Back of the Yards area in Chicago (the neighborhood made famous in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle). Subsequently, through the Industrial Areas Foundation which he began in 1940, Mr. Alinsky and his staff helped to organize communities not only in Chicago but throughout the country. He later turned his attentions to the middle class, creating a training institute for organizers. He died in 1972.

- Run don't walk to Iron Hill BreweryTomBDined on 9/27/2014I love Iron Hill Brewery for both beer and food. We went for the pumpkin beer - the Cinderells'a Carriage was very good, but the Punkelweisen was amazing. Their Imperial Pumpkin had kicked, but I bought a bottle reserve to take home. Can't wait to try it with friends. The food was amazing. I had the Hackbraten (German Meatloaf) with Hunter Sauce off their Oktoberfest menu and my wife had the Ahi Tuna off the regular menu. Both dishes were fabulous. The Ahi Tuna was cooked to perfection. The service is top notch - the servers know the beer, they know the food, and they make for a very enjoyable experience. Will absolutely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not too badDineof10Dined on 9/26/2014Get hey seated us right a way, which was great given the line of people waiting for a Friday night table. The staff was great and brought everything in a timely manner. The one disappointment for me was the food. While the other three in my party all raved about the food, the Octoberfest special I got was a big disappointment. However the beer was good, the desserts sublime and the atmosphere generally nice. The noise level was a bit much, but given that it was 8-9 PM on a Friday it was to expected. Nice place, will probably go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014I love this place!!! The food is consistently good, the wait staff is always friendly, and the beer is quite fresh. When friends and family come in town, this is my go-to place to take them.Special Features:

- A big favorite of ours!newjerseyfamilyDined on 9/20/2014This is our favorite restaurant. The service is always attentive and friendly, we love the atmosphere, the food, the beer!! I'm not sure I ever had a bad beer here. Get their samplers, as you may find it impossible to narrow down your choice to just one. The food is great - my son the hamburger lover is more than satisfied, yet we get to eat something more adventurous. Always well prepared, never a long wait. My only complaint is I wish it were closer to where I live!! This is the restaurant to go to if your in the area, or for that matter, if your in New Jersey!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hopefully this was just a fluke, usually this place is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- good until the check camekchatzDined on 8/9/2014The food and service were generally good. However, the check came, and we were charged $88 for a $70 food bill. We called the sserver over, and he wasn't even apologetic. I reduced his gratuity from my usual 18-20% to 15%. I think the manager should have come to our table after this mistake/Special Features:
- Nice night outEatingouttonigtDined on 8/1/2014Went out with son and his fiancé and had a wonderful meal. We tried some different beers which were all good. The service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Becoming consistently goodSteveDined on 8/1/2014This is the second time we've been here in little more than a month and the food and service are remaining at consistently good levels. The flank steak in chili sauce was prepared exactly to medium rare and was properly seasoned and very tasty. Other dishes included the crab cake sandwich, turkey burger and meatloaf and the entire party commented how fresh and delicious the food tasted. Service was professional, friendly and unobtrusive. Of course, the beers are varied and can be paired to match with any of their meals. The beers taste fresh and are also very well crafted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family FunSusanVIPDined on 8/1/2014There were 9 of us - 6 adults and 3 kids. We were sat in a back dining room - which was great because everyone in our group was comfortable, and the kids were able to be silly and not disturb other diners in the main hall area. Our server was great - she separated our checks and was very attentive. The food was good, but not the best we've had which was a little disappointing. But it was a great night overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top NotchBlueRidgeTravellerDined on 7/31/2014This chain is an absolute must if you are in close proximity to one, I would drive well over an hour to eat there if we had one here in Virginia. The food is excellent, from the seafood to the classic bar food like the Ribs, I can promise that it will not disappoint. The salmon spring rolls might be the best appetizer I have ever had. The brews are out of this world with a selection that will be sure to have you coming back and telling all of your friends. This is a true one of a kind place, check it out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bad serviceironhillneedshelpDined on 7/31/2014we had very bad service at the restaurant. The wrong food was brought to our table. When our food was finally brought out only three out of the four entrees were delivered. The fourth entree was not delivered until 15 minutes after the others were. Nothing was done or said except I'm sorry. That's bad customer service.Special Features:
- Always goodgoodstuffVIPDined on 7/27/2014Really good for a burger and beer, pizza is really decent. I would tend to stay away from the entrees as they do not seem to handle as well. When a burger and beer fix is needed, this is the place in our area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Love It!!VeganVidaDined on 7/19/2014Iron Hill is one of my favorite places around. The menu has a variety of different kinds of options (from hummus platters to baked Mac and cheese to personal pizzas to juicy steak. Oh, and don't skip the fried calamari!), and includes a "Healthy Option" section with limited-calorie plates. Many options are or can be made vegetarian or vegan-friendly. The ambiance is cool and comfortable so you can dress up for date night or dress down for a casual lunch. And I always joke that the friendly and personable staff rivals that of Disney World...I kid you not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The waiters/ waitresses are knowledgeable & appear to enjoy working there. They will have conversations with you & are personable. They have one of the best customer service I've experienced. The beer is great (and potent) You cannot get a bad one here. Just make sure you make reservations or chances are you will be waiting awhile.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

President Obama Seeks Russia Deal to Slash Nuclear Weapons
President Obama Seeks Russia Deal to Slash Nuclear Weapons Wednesday 04 February 2009 » by: Tim Reid, The Times UK photo A spokesman has stated that President Barack Obama will seek an agreement with Russia to significantly reduce the two countries' nuclear weapons stockpiles. (Photo: Senior Airman Javier Cruz Jr. / af.mil) The radical new treaty would reduce the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each. Washington – President Obama will convene the most ambitious arms reduction talks with Russia for a generation, aiming to slash each country's stockpile of nuclear weapons by 80 per cent. The radical treaty would cut the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each, The Times has learnt. Key to the initiative is a review of the Bush Administration's plan for a US missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, a project fiercely opposed by Moscow. Mr Obama is to establish a non-proliferation office at the White House to oversee the talks, expected to be headed by Gary Samore, a non-proliferation negotiator in the Clinton Administration. The talks will be driven by Hillary Clinton's State Department. No final decision on the defence shield has been taken by Mr Obama. Yet merely delaying the placement of US missiles in Poland and a radar station in the Czech Republic – which if deployed would cost the US $4 billion annually – removes what has been a major impediment to Russian co-operation on arms reduction. Any agreement would put pressure on Britain, which has 160 nuclear warheads, and other nuclear powers to reduce their stockpiles. Mr Obama has pledged to put nuclear weapons reduction at the heart of his presidency and his first move will be to reopen talks with Moscow to replace the 1991 US-Soviet Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start), which expires in December. Under that pact, the two countries have cut their respective stockpiles from roughly 10,000 to 5,000. "We are going to re-engage Russia in a more traditional, legally binding arms reduction process," an official from the Administration said. "We are prepared to engage in a broader dialogue with the Russians over issues of concern to them. Nobody would be surprised if the number reduced to the 1,000 mark for the post-Start treaty." Efforts to revive the Start talks were fitful under Mr Bush and complicated by his insistence on building a missile defence shield. "If Obama proceeds down this route, this will be a major departure," one Republican said. "But there will be trouble in Congress." The plan is also complicated by the nuclear ambitions of Iran, which launched its first satellite into space yesterday, and North Korea, which is preparing to test a long-range ballistic missile capable of striking the US. Mr Obama views the reduction of arms by the US and Russia as critical to efforts to persuade countries such as Iran not to develop the Bomb. » IN ACCORDANCE WITH TITLE 17 U.S.C.
