Controversial beverage company set to hold training event in Stamford
Vemma Nutrition Company to offer training in Stamford
An Arizona beverage maker that has been accused of operating a pyramid scheme is set to bring its marketing pitch to Stamford this week.
Vemma Nutrition Company, a privately owned firm that manufactures drinks and supplements touted as having nutritional and weight loss benefits, has scheduled a regional training event for its distributors on Saturday at the Sheraton Hotel on East Main Street. As many as 800 people are expected to show at the event, according to the company.
Although the 10-year-old company recently touted worldwide sales of $221 million in 2013, it has come under attack for pursuing a multi-level marketing strategy, which involves recruiting people to sell its products. Critics, who include consumer advocacy groups, say the business lures young people with promises of "financial freedom" and incentive bonuses like BMWs and Mercedes. On its website, the company says those who join the business as "affiliates" can make as much as $50,000. As part of its marketing approach, Vemma has gone into college campuses and has even enlisted high school students.
In the U.S. alone, the company says it has 105,000 affiliates and 220 employees. Its manufacturing plant is in Tempe, Ariz.
"I think that they are taking advantage of a very vulnerable population and it can have extreme effects on the rest of these kids' lives," said Bonnie Patten, the executive director of Truth in Advertising, a Connecticut-based consumer watchdog group that has scrutinized the company and its claims. "The fact is that Vemma has many of the attributes of a pyramid scheme."
In March, an Italian watchdog group ruled that Vemma was a pyramid scheme and prohibited the company from doing business in Italy. Vemma has since amended its marketing strategy. In the U.S., more than 100 complaints have been filed with the Federal Trade Commission over the past year.
BK Boreyko, the 52-year-old founder and CEO of Vemma, adamantly denied the accusations, saying he is simply employing a marketing approach that rewards direct sales and word-of-mouth promotion.
Boreyko who is set to speak at the training event in Stamford, said the company doles out $2 million a week in commissions and bonuses. "I made the decision to put that money into the hard working people who fall in love with this brand and want to promote it," he said.
Vemma has roughly 350 employees worldwide, according to Boreyko. He maintained that the bulk of orders come from customers, with only 30 percent of the orders coming from those trying to sell the products.
Boreyko said he and his lawyer Chris Reid said the company fully cooperated with the investigation in Italy and have had no other issues in other foreign territories. The company operates in 48 countries.
The CEO also disputed the assertion that Vemma specifically targets young people to become affiliates. He said those who elect to sell the brand come from all age groups, including baby boomers.
"It's a commission-based opportunity," he said. "We are not out to take advantage of anybody."

6 slices bacon
8 large cobs fresh corn, preferably white, shucked and cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
In a large skillet (cast iron does well here), cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
On a cutting board, cut the stalk ends of the corncobs to make a flat surface; stand them up and shave the corn from the cobs with a sharp chef�s knife. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, firmly scrape the cobs over a shallow plate to extract as much liquid (milk) as possible and add it to the skillet.
Season corn lightly with salt and pepper and cook until broken down and creamy, about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often; add water if the pan gets too dry. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: Crisp bacon can be crumbled over the creamed corn when serving or reserved for another use. If you have bacon drippings on hand, use 1/4 cup for this recipe. Serves 4.

I was born in Yonkers, and I've lived there for most of my life. My hometown doesn't get much attention in the larger world, and lives pretty much in the shadow of the big city that I can see from my upstairs window.
But in one important respect, Yonkers far outshines not only the big city, but pretty much every other city in New York. Its elected officials have the courage and moral fiber to publicly show their respect for human life.
Last Sunday, I had the privilege of being present at the Polish Center to witness Mayor Phil Amicone issue an official proclamation, declaring January 9 through 16 as the Fourth Annual "Respect Life Week" in Yonkers. As far as anyone can tell, my hometown is the only city in New York State to do such a thing.
The event at which the proclamation was issued was memorable. It was organized by my friend, the indefatigable Tony Felicissimo, who is the leader of "Advocates of Life", a Yonkers group that holds prayerful witness outside of a local abortion clinic and supports the "Life Options Center", a pregnancy support center hosted by the Kingdom Christian Cultural Center.
There were a number of distinguished interfaith speakers, including Archbishop Dolan, Fr. Thomas Berg, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino (yes, there are two pro-life public officials in Westchester!), Rabbi Rigoberto Emmanuel Vinas, and Rev. James Hassel of the Kingdom Christian Center. The children's choir from St. Casimir's School sang, as did Rev. Hassel's own outstanding gospel choir. The special honoree for the day was Msgr. Philip Reilly, the great hero of the pro-life movement, the founder of the Helpers of God's Precious Infants. The day had a party-like atmosphere, and truly was a celebration of life.
Both Msgr. Reilly and Archbishop Dolan called the pro-life movement "this most noble cause". How right they are — it's the premier civil rights movement of our day. It unites people of all faiths, who are dedicated to defending the dignity of every human person.
It was a political risk for Mayor Amicone to issue this proclamation, and for County Executive Astorino to support it. But, buoyed by the courage of their convictions, they did what true public servants are supposed to do — stand for what is right, regardless of politics, and defend the common good and justice for all.
Bravo, to my hometown — Pro-Life Yonkers.

NORWICH — City officials on Saturday will formally dedicate the city's newly minted bell tower and courtyard in the hopes that it will draw tourists and spark civic engagement in the city.
After more than two years of planning and an unofficial christening last week, the Emancipation Proclamation Commemorative Committee and city leaders are set to dedicate their David Ruggles Freedom Courtyard in front of City Hall.
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and U.S. Rep. Joseph Courtney, D-2nd District, are among the dignitaries slated to attend the two-hour ceremony.
"I think this is going to be a permanent fixture that residents of the city will be very proud of, and kind of a focus for some civic events," City Historian and committee Chairman Dale Plummer said. "This has been a process that's garnered a lot of support from the public, and it's been very gratifying."
Plans for the $225,000 construction project — which included the casting of a 250-pound Freedom Bell at Howard T. Brown Park in the summer of 2011 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation — began nearly three years ago.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln as an executive order on Jan. 1, 1863, abolishing slavery in the Confederacy. Slavery did not become formally outlawed until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, however.
Norwich prided itself on siding with Lincoln's pronouncement to outlaw slavery in southern states. And on Jan. 1, 1863, then-Mayor James Lloyd Greene ordered cannons to be fired and bells rung to hail the proclamation becoming law. Greene personally paid for the gunpowder used.
Plummer said the formal dedication of the 17 ½-foot, 1,300-pound stainless steel structure that will permanently house the bell will be a bittersweet moment for those involved with the venture since its inception.
"We've been meeting for almost three years, mostly on a weekly basis, so its kind of like, 'What next?' " Plummer said.

X-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft
tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. X-ray
pictures can show cavities, hidden dental structures (such as wisdom teeth),
and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. Dental X-rays
may also be done as follow-up after dental treatments.
following types of dental X-rays are commonly used. The X-rays use small
amounts of radiation.
A full-mouth series of periapical X-rays (about 14 to 21
X-ray films) is most often done during a person's first visit to the dentist.
Bitewing X-rays are used during checkups to look for tooth decay. Panoramic
X-rays may be used occasionally. Dental X-rays are scheduled when you need them
based on your age, risk for disease, and signs of disease.
Dental X-rays are done to:

Before the X-ray test, tell your
doctor if you are or might be pregnant. Dental X-rays are only done on your
mouth area, but if you are pregnant, routine dental X-rays may be postponed so
you do not have any radiation to your baby (fetus). If
dental X-rays are absolutely needed, a lead apron will be placed over your
belly to shield your baby from the X-rays.
You do not need to do
anything else before having a dental X-ray.
Dental X-rays are taken in the
dentist's office. The X-ray pictures are read by your
Some dentists use digital radiography. This method uses
an electronic sensor instead of X-ray film. An electronic image is taken and
stored in a computer. This image can be viewed on a computer screen. Less
radiation is needed to make an image with digital radiography than with
standard dental X-rays.
X-rays take only a few minutes and are
not painful.
Some people may gag on the plastic or cardboard that
holds the X-ray film. People often find it easier to relax if they focus on
something else (such as an object on the wall) and take slow, deep breaths
through their nose during the X-rays.
The amount of radiation used in dental X-rays is low. But there is always a slight risk of damage to cells or tissue from being exposed to any radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. But the risk of damage from the X-rays is usually very low compared with the potential benefits of the test.
Pregnant women may not want to have routine dental X-rays taken until after
they give birth. Although there is no proof that a routine dental X-ray could
harm a developing baby (fetus), dentists usually suggest you wait to have your
X-rays until after the baby is born. Delaying the X-ray for a few months will
not result in further harm to teeth in most cases. There are times when the
severity of the dental problem requires an X-ray to deal with an urgent

Acclaimed actor Gabriel Byrne says he was sexually abused by priests when he was 11 years old and training at a seminary.
The "Usual Suspects" star disclosed the childhood trauma on an Irish talk show, and said he now wonders how it may have affected his life.
"Unfortunately, I experienced some sexual abuse," he said on "The Meaning of Life," a show broadcast on the Emerald Isle. "It was a known and admitted fact of life amongst us that there was this particular man, and you didn't want to be left in the dressing room with him."
He said another priest at the seminary also abused him and added, "It took many years to come to terms with it and to forgive those incidents that I felt had deeply hurt me."
"Again, I didn't think it severely impacted me at the time. But when I think about my later life, and how I had difficulties with certain issues, there is the real possibility they could have been attributable to that."
In the interview, Byrne talked about the "black periods" in his life, which included depression and alcoholism. He said that he was "beaten very regularly" as a kid, but says he has never hit his two kids or ex-wife Ellen Barkin.
He abandoned seminary after he decided his love of women outweighed his desire to become a priest.

Hurry up and slow down. That's one way to look at a road trip. You don't hop a plane and zip off halfway around the world. You slide in behind the wheel and get a grip, you feel the planet, you experience the travel. Travel becomes part of the destination.
Fortunately, the U.S. is flush with scenic roadways in every region and for every season. To find them, check out the National Scenic Byways Program at byways.org. Now's the time to start planning. Here are five of my favorites.
1. Trail Ridge Road, Colo.: U.S. Highway 34, the highest major roadway in North America, climbs to 12,183 feet on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. For 48 miles, it wraps around blind curves between the communities of Estes Park and Grand Lake. Though the elevation gain is significant, you will have an easy time of it on grades of 5 to 7 percent.
Dress in layers. When you pull over at scenic overlooks on the 11 miles of roadway above the tree line, you may feel the temperature drop 20 to 30 degrees. The windy alpine tundra resembles that of Arctic regions, and you may see snow clinging to 12,000-foot peaks even in July. Keep on the paths to avoid crushing tender vegetation that can take decades to grow.
Bighorn sheep can be spotted on the flanks of the tallest peaks; elk and deer move lower. Moose gather along the Colorado River, here just a narrow stream winding through meadows below its source at La Poudre Pass. Park at a trail head and hike among aspen and ponderosa pine.
You can't make the trip year round. Trail Ridge Road closes at its highest elevations, usually around mid-October to late May.
2. Overseas Highway, Florida Keys: U.S. Highway 1 strings together a necklace of islets with 42 bridges spanning breaks between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. You begin at Milepost 106 in Key Largo and end at Milepost 0 in Key West. As you drive, look for key deer along roadside mangroves, great white heron standing in the shallows, and pelicans diving for fish.
Completed in 1938, the road was built largely on the right of way of the Overseas Railroad, which had been heavily damaged in a hurricane. In the 1980s, large portions of the highway were rebuilt, and you'll see sections of the old roadway, now used for fishing and biking, alongside the new. At Bahia Honda State Park, a section of the old railroad bridge is preserved as a monument. Watch boats glide beneath its sturdy steel trusses from the beach, one of the nicest expanses of sand in the Keys.
You'll find tourist attractions flanking the roadway. An old-style South Florida motel in Marathon is now the Turtle Hospital, open for tours. In Key Largo you can ride on the original African Queen from the Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn movie. And in Key West, tour the home where Ernest Hemingway wrote "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
3. Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana: Designed by a landscape architect to take advantage of the scenery, this road through Glacier National Park (nps.gov/glac) travels 50 miles between the east and west ends of the park. You will see its namesake Going-to-the-Sun Mountain along the way, a moniker given to the peak in an American Indian folk tale.
Narrow lanes and hairpin turns drop the speed limit to 25 mph in some areas where vehicles wider than 8 feet (including mirrors) and longer than 21 feet are banned. Sit on the passenger side driving east and you'll look straight down past the edge of the road into the valley below. If that gives you sweaty palms, book a shuttle. Among the tour options are the Red Buses, built in the 1930s. When the weather cooperates, drivers roll back the canvas tops on these 17-passenger sedans for a great view.
Leaving the town of West Glacier, stop at Lake McDonald for a photo of mountains reflected in clear glacial runoff. The road climbs to Weeping Wall, where you'll see meltwater pouring through rock, sometimes so heavy you will need to roll up the windows. The road's highest point, Logan's Pass, reaches 6,680 feet. From the visitor center you can hike a boardwalk trail to Hidden Lake or part of the Highline Trail, a 30-mile rocky path that crosses the border into Canada. Look for mountain goats, deer, marmots and bighorn sheep.
The entire roadway usually isn't accessible until sometime in June, and some sections may close by mid-September.
4. Pacific Coast Highway, California: Though it travels almost the entire length of California, the most scenic stretch of California Highway 1 lies between Monterey and Morro Bay. South of Carmel, it leaves the urban area behind to meander along wild fringes of the Pacific Coast with tight curves and steep drop-offs to the pounding surf below. In the 1880s, the road was just a narrow winding path through the Big Sur Valley and Santa Lucia Mountains. The state highway was built using convict labor in the 1920s and 1930s across canyons and cliffs and through redwood forests, with supplies arriving by mule and boat.
In the Big Sur area, stop at pull-offs at Bixby Creek Bridge, a single-span concrete arch, to admire this feat of engineering. At Point Sur State Historic Park visit a lighthouse that dates from 1889. Stop for a meal at Nepenthe (831-667-2345, nepenthebigsur.com), a roadside restaurant with a view from its outdoor seating area.
Continuing south, the terrain gradually levels out. At San Simeon, detour inland to the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument, better known as Hearst Castle. Begun just prior to the Roaring '20s by newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, the estate is furnished with European architectural elements, antiques and works of art.
And when the fog rolls in, you'll feel like you're sitting on a cloud somewhere very close to heaven.
5. Skyline Drive, Virginia: Following the crest of a ridge in Shenandoah National Park (nps.gov/shen), Skyline Drive meanders 105 miles between Front Royal and Rockfish Gap. The 35-mph speed limit on the two-lane roadway will force you to slow down, so make a day of it and pull over often at some of the 75 scenic overlooks. To the east, you will see the uplands of Virginia's Piedmont, to the west the Shenandoah Valley and the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. Park and set off on some of the 500 miles of hiking trails.
The park doesn't mow along the roadway, so wildflowers bloom: trillium in spring, azaleas in June, black-eyed Susans into fall. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including several thousand deer and 300 to 500 black bears.
President Herbert Hoover, whose Rapidan Camp is on the ridge, used drought-relief funds to start construction of the Skyline Drive in 1931. The Civilian Conservation Corps later added rock barrier walls, picnic grounds and Big Meadows Lodge with dining and accommodations.

The breathing tubes, or bronchi, leading to the air sacs (alveoli)
are lined with cells that produce
mucus. Normally, the cells produce a thin, runny mucus
that coats the surface of the lungs.
Foreign particles, such as dust and germs, constantly enter the
lungs and become trapped in the mucus. Tiny hairs called cilia on the surface
of the breathing tubes sweep the mucus and foreign particles upward into the
larger air passages and then up to the throat where they can be swallowed or
coughed up.
Cystic fibrosis causes the mucus that coats the
breathing tubes to become so thick and sticky that the cilia are unable to
sweep the germs and other particles up and out of the lungs. The trapped
bacteria lead to frequent, serious infections and permanent lung damage.
In response to infections, the body's
immune system sends white blood cells to the lungs to
attempt to destroy the infection. White blood cells release chemicals that kill
both bacteria and surrounding normal cells. After attacking the bacteria, the
white blood cells die, adding to the thickness of the mucus and destruction of
the airways.
In the upper respiratory tract, thick, sticky mucus may also clog
the nasal passages and sinuses. Small growths, or polyps, on the inner lining
of the nose may develop from repeated infection and inflammation.
Complications of cystic fibrosis usually involve some aspect of
long-term impaired respiratory function. These complications may include:

Mike Rizzo: D.C. could become 'primarily a baseball town' – DC Sports Bog, The Post
I think that every professional sports team ought to be "aspirational" in everything they do. An example is trying to be the #1 team in a market. Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo seems to think so too:
"I think that Washington D.C. could become primarily a baseball town, with the Redskins always being right there in the picture also," he continued.
That's the right thing to say, but I doubt he believes it. The Redskins 75 years in D.C. and the overall popularity of the NFL are too much to overcome. The Nats, Capitals, Wizards and DC United are all fighting to be the second most popular team in the area. My guess is the current overall ranking looks like this:
1. Redskins
2. Capitals
3. Nationals
4. Wizards
5. DC United
I think the slumping Caps are just hanging onto the #2 spot and will probably be surpassed by the Nats this spring if they haven't been already. The Nats are certainly in the best position to win D.C.'s next major championship, a spot the Caps occupied for about 5 years.
My personal rankings look like this:
1. Nationals
2. Redskins
3. Capitals
4. DC United
5. Wizards
With me, everybody is fighting to be #2 too — the Nats are my favorite D.C. team even during extended periods of awful seasons. Prior to last fall, I'd have put the Caps at #2, but a few things changed:
- The Redskins became a competitive team with a historically good rookie QB in Robert Griffin III.
- The NHL lockout, which Caps owner Ted Leonsis was reportedly a hardliner on, soured me on the team. The terrible start has only compounded it.
As I mentioned recently, I am holding back until I know DC United are staying in the area. I also like hockey more than soccer. DCU has a great hardcore fanbase, it just isn't very large.
The Wizards are underachievers both on the court and in the hearts and minds of D.C. fans. There are plenty of basketball fans in the area, but the franchise has been so lackluster for so long that they haven't been able to sustain a significant fanbase. Plus, during the Susan O'Malley era, she marketed the visiting teams and not the Bullets/Wizards.
So, try to be #1 Nats, but don't me mad when you never get past being #2. This is big market and there is room for everybody.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Workers who make low wages making hotel beds, ringing up groceries, delivering pizza and tending tables in New York say the proposed hike in the state's minimum wage won't erase all their financial worries. But it will help. "The priority for that extra 20 dollars month would be probably something other than macaroni and cheese and chicken all the time," said Myrna Capaldi, a single mother in Kingston who makes $8.59 an hour working with Head Start families. Lawmakers in Albany are considering a proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to increase the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75 an hour in July. Assembly Democrats proposed making it $9 an hour after President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address this week proposed hiking the federal minimum wage, also $7.25 an hour, to $9 in stages by the end of 2015. Cuomo has described the current minimum wage, which works out to about $15,000 a year for full-time work, as "unlivable." Many people making the minimum or a little above it agree. "It's pretty difficult to put bread on the table and make sure I have enough gas to get to work," said Capaldi. "And to pull up to the gas pump and the price of gas has yet again gone up but your hourly salary has not." About 5 percent of hourly wage earners in New York state make the minimum or below (like workers who receive tips), according to federal figures. The proposed hike would also directly affect workers making more than minimum but less than $8.75. Those 747,000 workers make up 9 percent of the state's work force, according to an analysis by the labor-backed Fiscal Policy Institute. Who are those workers? Opponents of a wage hike note that many are teens with part-time jobs still living at home. But the FPI analysis says more than eight in 10 of the people making $8.75 or less in New York are at least 20 years old. Most are women and almost half these low-wage earners work at least 35 hours a week. In the Bronx - a borough with a persistently high poverty rate - a state-high 12.5 percent of workers make $8.75 or less an hour, according to the FPI analysis. A number of largely rural upstate counties like Montgomery, Steuben and Essex, also had high rates. Whether rural or urban, people on the low end of the wage scale tell similar stories of never having enough money to keep up. In Queens, Kassandra Guzman, an 18-year-old high school student, works seven days a week and said she still has trouble saving for college after helping her parents pay their bills. Capaldi, who is raising a teen makes a lot of macaroni and shops at Goodwill on Wednesdays, which are half-price days. "It's really hard, sometimes we don't even make rent until two weeks after its due," said 20-year-old Joselyn Flower, who lives in the Ithaca area. Flower is an $8-an hour hotel housekeeper who went on maternity leave after she and her partner had a daughter a month ago. He makes $8 an hour, too. They all live in a one-bedroom apartment. The extra $1.50 an hour for minimum wage earners could gross an extra $60 a week for full-timers. How much more people making slightly over would reap depend on whether their employer raises them to the new minimum. "It wouldn't buy much, but I would feel the difference," said Brandon Montes, a senior at Fordham University who holds down two lower-wage jobs. "It's expensive to live in New York and every little bit helps." Flower said: "It's not going to make it easy, but it certainly will make it a lot less hard." Opponents of the hike, including some business interests, say the increase would actually hurt those lower-wage workers who would get laid off by employers unable to afford suddenly higher payroll costs. Economists have debated that point for years. Opponents point to a peer-reviewed study last year that concluded New York's minimum wage increase from $5.15 to $6.75 over two years beginning in 2004 coincided with a roughly 20 percent drop in employment for less-skilled, less-educated 16- to 29-year-olds. The evidence is mixed, said Matthew Freedman, an assistant professor at Cornell University's Department of Labor Economics. And if there are negative effects, he added, a hike in the wage does not seem to be "as vicious a job destroyer as some fear."

Private sector capital will be critical to meeting this challenge, with estimates suggesting that around 85% of the total investment must come from private sources, including institutional investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. 50-60% of these investments must be made in emerging economies.
Many private investors are already acting to address climate risks and opportunities. They integrate climate issues into their investment practices, address climate strategies in dialogues with companies and they consider investment opportunities in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
However, no matter how committed investors may seem, private sector investment will not reach the scale required to address climate change effectively unless governments provide clear and ambitious policy signals. The single most significant driver of private sector investment in climate change solutions is strong, stable, transparent and credible policy.
Pension funds are bound by fiduciary duty to provide the best possible risk adjusted returns across their portfolios. It falls within this responsibility to take stock of the risks and opportunities associated with climate change and to adapt investment strategies and practices accordingly. Investors will only allocate capital to climate change investment on the scale required if policy provides clear, credible and sustained incentives. For pension funds to allocate a greater proportion of their investments to climate solutions, these investments must provide similar risk adjusted returns to other types of investments, and climate policy is critical to this.
This is why the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and similar investor groups around the world called on policymakers in the run-up to COP15 to agree a strong and binding global agreement which would set the framework for strong action on climate change at national and regional levels. A basic lesson to be learned from past experience in renewable energy in countries such as Denmark, Spain and Germany is that almost without exception private sector investment in climate solutions has only been attracted by consistent and sustained policies.
As outlined in the 2010 Investor Statement on Catalysing Investment in a Low-Carbon Economy, investors are looking for policies that put an effective price on carbon and accelerate the development of carbon markets and energy and transportation policies that support the deployment of energy efficiency, renewable energy, green buildings, clean vehicles and fuels and low-carbon transportation infrastructure.
The importance of credible regulatory frameworks and low-carbon domestic policies for attracting private sector investment in size applies to both developed and developing countries. In some emerging economies, investors may face additional risks, for example more limited transparency, third party dependency, transaction costs and higher financial as well as political uncertainties and risks. This means that private sector investment in climate solutions in these countries will only be accelerated if risk levels are brought down through a combination of capacity and policy development and the formation of financing models to attract private capital.
Lessons from other regions and other major development efforts, e.g. the Marshall Plan, the preparation for EU accession and sub-national infrastructure development programmes, suggest that the risks associated with investments in climate solutions in developing countries can be brought down substantially by a combination of policy and capacity building measures, and by developing coherent national or regional strategies which place each project in the context of a development plan.
Public sector finance mechanisms should be designed with a view to leveraging private finance and assisting private investments by altering the risk reward balance. This could be achieved through strong and credible national policies involving private-public partnerships as well as through the provision of public finance mechanisms. The latter should be based as far as possible on existing mechanisms such as MIGA/ECA export credit guarantees or lending arrangements by development banks, and any potential distortion of traditional market structures should be curtailed.
Investors are calling for a focused dialogue on the nature and the design of such measures between multilateral development banks (MDBs), bilateral finance institutions and private investors such as pension funds. It is important to adopt a flexible approach that recognizes that countries are at different levels of development; an approach that can be adapted to very different political and financial contexts and to the requirements of different kinds of investors.
In addition, these measures must be adaptable, as domestic policy frameworks are strengthened and carbon markets develop. The deal flow for low carbon projects in developing countries will be improved with the implementation of strong and credible national policies, and public financing mechanisms should be designed bearing in mind that the need for them will diminish over time.
A key priority for the recently established high-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing should be to consider how some of the funds pledged under the Copenhagen Accord could be used to leverage private sector investment in developing countries. Investors are willing to contribute to this discussion, and hope to have greater clarity on the scope of the funds agreed in Copenhagen, as current uncertainties are hampering investment decision-making. There is a risk that the notion that "something new" is on its way may stall markets and/or drive them unintentionally in a specific direction.
The Advisory Group may want to consider how some of the $30bn fast start money could be used to produce a series of "early wins". Such an approach would assist relevant international financial institutions and private investors in forming alliances focusing on concrete projects. An aim should be to develop more generally applicable financing models and to provide examples of concrete risk mitigation measures in order to leverage private sector money to be invested in this field.
These experiences can then be adapted to other projects in different countries. In addition, the fast start fund as well as the Copenhagen Green Climate Fund should support countries in developing their capacity, policies and strategies, which in turn would support well-coordinated and well-designed flows of bankable projects that attract private sector investment.
Therefore it is critical that the Advisory Group establishes a dialogue with the financial community on how to accelerate private sector investment in developing countries. If policies are right, money is available – even in the short term.

DETROIT, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown Sunday and the Minnesota Vikings went on to a 20-13 victory over Detroit.
Marcus Sherels added a second-half punt return for a score as the Vikings (3-1) used the two special-teams scores to snap an 11-game losing streak against NFC North opponents.
Adrian Peterson racked up 102 yards on 21 carries and added four receptions from Christian Ponder, who went 16-for-26 passing for Minnesota.
The Vikings equaled their entire 2011 victory total with Sunday's triumph.
Matthew Stafford ran in the only touchdown for the Lions (1-3). He passed for 319 yards on 30-of-51 attempts in the team's third straight defeat.

Mezzadro Seat
Mezzadro Seat
Known for their witty repurposing of unorthodox objects, brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni created the Mezzadro seat by attaching a tractor seat to a steel stem. Unveiled at the 1957 Triennial at Villa Olmo, the Mezzadro was lauded for its inventiveness. It has since become a classic example of mid-twentieth century design ingenuity. Made with chromium-plated steel stem, red lacquered seat, and steam-treated beech footrest.

Gonadotropin fertility medicines contain follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), or both. These hormones play a central role in egg production.
In women.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are needed
for egg production (ovulation). Early in the
menstrual cycle, a woman with low hormone levels who
is not ovulating can have daily human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) or
recombinant human FSH (rFSH) injections for an average of 12 days. If this
helps develop mature follicles, the ovary is ready to ovulate. One dose of
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is then used to stimulate ovulation.
In men with low testosterone and FSH. LH
stimulates the production of
testosterone, and FSH promotes the formation of sperm.
If a semen analysis, LH testing, and FSH testing suggest that abnormal hormone
levels are preventing sperm production, these gonadotropins may be prescribed
together to promote sperm formation. The man gets an hCG injection 3 times
weekly until blood testosterone level is within the normal range (this may take
4 to 6 months). Treatment continues with injections of hCG 2 times a week and
hMG or FSH 3 times a week until the sperm count rises to normal levels.
Gonadotropins are given by
injection to help the body make the hormones needed for egg or sperm
In women. Gonadotropins may be
In men. Gonadotropin therapy can
treat low sperm counts caused by low levels of natural gonadotropins.
The combination human menopausal
gonadotropin (hMG)/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or recombinant human
follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH)/hCG treatment can consistently stimulate
ovulation. It results in pregnancy in 60 out of 100 women failing to ovulate. But of
those pregnancies, up to 35% end in
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:

See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug

During gonadotropin treatment,
frequent monitoring of egg follicle development is needed. This may be done with
ultrasound and blood tests. Without careful
monitoring, the ovaries may become hyperstimulated. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a very serious condition. It usually goes away by itself in 2
to 4 weeks. But a woman may need bed rest or hospitalization and intravenous
fluid therapy. Or she may need a procedure to remove fluid from the abdomen.
Gonadotropins should only be used by doctors who are specially trained in
infertility and who are familiar with the management of possible
Ovarian stimulation increases the likelihood of
multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, or more).
Up to 35% of women who become pregnant after
hMG/hCG or rFSH/hCG therapy have a miscarriage.1 This
is higher than the risk of miscarriage in the general
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
After you know you are pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I ran track during my freshman, sophomore and junior years, from 1973-1976. I told Coach Joe Haines that I would only run my first three years because I wanted to spend my senior year focusing on graduating, which I did in 1977."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"Being invited to try out for the Olympic Track Team at the end of my freshman year. Coach Haines and I were invited to California for me to try to make the Olympic team. I was a sprinter in the 100 yard dash. I did not make the team; however, that was still a great experience. I was also an All- American in track during my time at Lipscomb.
"Lipscomb had some great student-athletes in all sports during the years that I attended _ Steve Flatt, Will Brewer, Rock Whittemore, Garth Pinkston and Jim Bloomingburg to name a few."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Jim Bloomingburg. He was a member of the track team while we were at Lipscomb. Jim and I went to the same high school in Arlington, Va. I was one year ahead of him. Jim knew that he would be attending David Lipscomb College once he graduated from high school. Jim and his family contacted Lipscomb and told them about me. As a result, coach Haines called me and we talked. As a result of Jim and his family doing what they did, I went to Lipscomb.
"As a result of attending Lipscomb I found the Lord. I am still a Christian today. I teach Bible classes, occasionally preach when asked or needed at the Chester Church of Christ in Richmond, Va. where I currently attend. As a result of Jim's actions I became a Christian. Without him, I never would have been introduced to the church. Jim was also a great athlete and person."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"When I arrived at Lipscomb I was a member of the Baptist church. As a result of studying God's word I realized that the Baptist church was not the church that Jesus said he was going to build. So, I was baptized into the Lord's church and I am still in the Lord's church today.
"Another fond moment was when Venny Mathews was elected Student Body President. He was the first black Student Body President at Lipscomb.
"And another would be meeting and getting to know Randy Goodman and Alvin Cobb who were fellow students and also great friends."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"Put God first, and if you do, He will provide! I have had a very good life. The reason, as I grew as a Christian I tried to always do what would be right in the sight of God. As a result, God has blessed me in many ways."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Robert Hooper, Perry Cotham and Patrick Deese. I had professors who were good to me ( Hooper, Cotham and Deese) and professors who were mean to me. I learned as much from the mean professors as I did from the good professors. The mean professors helped me to get ready for the "real world". In my work life I had bosses who were mean and I had bosses who were good to me. The mean professors caused me to rely on God even more. So, I was and am thankful for the mean professors as well as the good professors.
"Other men who had a positive influence on me were Joey Haines, Batsell Barrett Baxter, Marlin Connelly, Carl McKelvey, Ralph Samples, Dean Mack Wayne Craig and Wayne Kendall."
Where do you live now?
"Richmond, Va." My e-mail address is email@example.com.
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does you position entail?
"I retired one year ago. I was a manager in the Medical Department for a Fortune 500 Company. Currently, I am the owner of my own franchise. The company is called Child Shield, U.S.A. We are in the business of helping to reduce the alarming number of children who go missing every day in this country. I am the Executive Affiliate for the Richmond, Va., area. I am currently meeting with schools in the Richmond area, specifically Henrico County, to share my info concerning missing children in our area and what we can do to prevent children from going missing."
Tell us about your family.
"I am married to my wife Jackie whom I met at Lipscomb. We have been married for 32 years. We have two sons, Micah and Marcus."

14 games, two days, one win
Steamboat volleyball loses tie-breaker to Delta, finishes road trip with Olathe win
Steamboat Springs — After putting together one of their best defensive performances of the year Friday night against a powerful Palisade team, Steamboat Springs dropped a closely-fought match Saturday in five games to the Delta Panthers (4-10 in Western Slope League play, 5-13 overall).
"The thing with Steamboat is it's such a good match-up," Panthers coach Leigh McLaughlin said. We're really the same kind of team – it's so up and down and the focus just goes back and forth."
The match's games were also traded back and forth, ultimately resulting in a Delta victory, 25-17, 16-25, 25-18, 17-25, 15-10.
Steamboat could not minimize errors and reproduce the same intense play that allowed them to beat Delta in a five-game, tie-breaking match during their previous, Sept. 23rd meeting.
"That was a crushing blow to our league standings," Sailors coach Wendy Hall said of the loss that now puts her team at 4-7 in league, potentially having to win their next three games to make a postseason run.
Steamboat was able to rebound from the devastating loss to get one win out of the three-game road trip, traveling to Olathe Saturday evening and again playing a close match to five games. After losing the first two games, Steamboat rallied to win 25-27, 17-25, 25-14, 25-22, 15-9.
"They could have easily packed their bags and left after three (games), but we found a way to win," Hall said. "I'm proud of them for hanging in, getting back in the match when they needed to and coming home with a win."
Although the emotional win will not count towards Steamboat's league standings, Hall thought it was vital to salvaging her team's spirits as they regroup from a tough day of ten games and a long bus ride and prepare for this week's final home games, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday against Moffat County and 6:30 p.m. Thursday against Battle Mountain.

Joba struggles as Tigers can't complete sweep of Sox

DETROIT -- The Tigers' season-long saga at shortstop might finally have an answer with sweet-swinging shortstop Eugenio Suarez. Their bullpen drama, by contrast, rolls on.
On Sunday night, it had nothing to do with closer Joe Nathan.View Full Game Coverage
"This one's on me," Joba Chamberlain said after David Ortiz's three-run home run in the ninth inning sent Detroit from the verge of another series sweep of the Red Sox to a 5-3 loss instead. "The great thing about this game, we get an opportunity to turn around tomorrow and get back out there."
They'll have Nathan back, his arm having rested from the 32-pitch outing he delivered to finish off Saturday night's win. They'll still have their issues to address. Nathan's responsible for 18 of the 90 earned runs Tigers relievers have given up on the year, producing a 4.77 bullpen ERA that now ranks last in the Majors following Sunday's outing.
The Tigers have given up 44 runs in the ninth inning, a dozen more than the next-highest total in the Majors. Their 10 homers allowed in the ninth are tied for the most in baseball.
"You certainly don't want to be giving up runs like that in the ninth inning," manager Brad Ausmus said. "I'm not overly concerned about it, but it's gotta stop at some point. And I do think Joe is going to get his groove back, so to speak, and be fine. I think once Joe returns to form, then I think those numbers will come back to Earth."
Nathan, having thrown 44 pitches over the previous two nights, wasn't available Sunday, which is why Chamberlain was pitching the ninth inning. With Anibal Sanchez needing 112 pitches over six innings, 24 of them fouled off by Red Sox hitters to extend at-bats, the Tigers had to cover three innings without the closer.
They very nearly pulled it off. They carried a lead heading into the ninth in no small part because lefty Phil Coke retired Ortiz in a game-changing opportunity in the seventh. They were out of lefties when Boston's slugger came up again.
"We were able to run the pitch count up on Sanchez, to get into the bullpen," Red Sox manager John Farrell. "A lot has to do with the quality at-bats up and down the lineup, but Mike Napoli's presence was definitely felt here tonight."
Ortiz actually stepped to the plate four times Sunday with runners in scoring position. The Tigers retired him the first three times in vastly different ways. Sanchez struck him out with two on in the third inning, preventing Boston's first run from starting a major rally.
Ortiz was the third of Sanchez's seven strikeouts over six quality innings, but the Red Sox sapped the righty's pitch count along the way with foul balls to extend at-bats. By the time Nick Castellanos' quick grab of Ortiz's line drive ended the fifth inning with a runner on second in a 2-1 game, Sanchez was already at 101 pitches, 22 of them foul balls.
"They're fighters," Sanchez said. "They fight in all their at-bats."
They fought back in the sixth, when Napoli's leadoff homer tied the game and ended the longest homerless streak in the Majors. Sanchez hadn't allowed a home run since Napoli hit one here in Game 5 of last year's American League Championship Series.
Though Sanchez kept it at that, the homer cost him a chance at a win yet again. Ortiz had a chance to break the game open an inning later with runners at the corners and two outs, after Evan Reed walked Dustin Pedroia on four pitches. It was a similar situation that the Red Sox had Saturday night.
Ausmus had Coke ready to face Ortiz on Saturday before Max Scherzer convinced Ausmus to let him stay in the game. This time, Ausmus turned to his much-maligned lefty, who had held Ortiz 2-for-20 over his career.
Coke fell behind in a 3-0 count, barely missing the inside corner on one, bringing him within a pitch of loading the bases for the right-handed hitting Napoli. From there, Coke challenged Ortiz with mid-90s fastballs and survived, getting three straight foul balls before Ortiz centered the fourth.
"It's a long way to center," Coke smiled.
Ortiz sent it to the depths, but Austin Jackson corralled it just shy of the warning track in center field to keep the game tied, and allow rookie shortstop Suarez's second RBI single of the night to pull Detroit ahead in the bottom of the inning.
Suarez wasn't even in the big leagues when the week began. The Tigers called him up midweek to help address a shortstop position that had featured some of the lowest offensive production of any position on any team in the big leagues. After homering off Jon Lester for his first Major League hit Saturday, his two line drives into left field provided the bulk of Detroit's offense Sunday, in a game that saw Miguel Cabrera exit in the sixth inning with a tight left hamstring.
Brock Holt's leadoff single -- one of four hits for Boston's left fielder -- all but ensured Chamberlain would have to face Ortiz, 6-for-21 lifetime against him from their days as AL East foes. Chamberlain (1-3) struck out Xander Bogearts and put Pedroia in an 0-2 count, but couldn't finish him off. His walk put two on for Ortiz.
"You've gotta get ahead of him," Chamberlain said. "He can change the game with one swing, obviously. We've seen it for numerous years. I got ahead early and was just trying to bury one back foot and try to get him to roll over. It stayed up, and he obviously did what he needed to do."
Ortiz belted the 1-1 slider halfway up the right-field seats for his 14th home run on the year.
"It's just one of those things," Ausmus said. "What are you gonna do? He came up against a very good hitter, and the hitter won."

One of the last times President Bill Clinton visited Los Angeles City Hall was in 2009 to unveil a proposal to replace most of the city's aging incandescent streetlights with environmentally friendly bulbs.
Clinton returned on Thursday, again with a focus on environmental issues. The nation's 42nd president joined Mayor Eric Garcetti to host a half-day conference on alternative energy and infrastructure improvements.
Seated before 200 business and government leaders, Clinton and Garcetti talked about the importance of moving toward nontraditional energy sources.
"Even the people who are semi climate-deniers acknowledge that we have to mitigate the impacts of extreme changes in the weather," Clinton said. "And we have to prepare for more of an independent future, both politically as well as economically."
The "21st Century Infrastructure and Innovation for a Resilient Economy Forum" was hosted in part by the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), part of the Clinton Foundation, whose mission is to spark ideas and find solutions to the world's most pressing problems, according to the organization's website.
Alternative energy, climate change and pension investments were among the top topics discussed Thursday, with Clinton noting he was frustrated by the lack of available financing for alternative-energy projects such as solar, while coal plants can more easily obtain funding.
"The financing mechanisms of America … and the distribution of political power are organized for protecting yesterday instead of creating tomorrow," Clinton said.
The gathering marked one of the first times Clinton and Garcetti have appeared together since last year's tight Los Angeles mayor's race. Clinton endorsed Garcetti's rival Wendy Greuel and hosted a high-profile lunch for the former city controller at Langer's Deli near downtown during the campaign.
The former president referenced the race Thursday but had a slip of the tongue and said Garcetti had been elected president, not mayor. Catching himself, Clinton told Garcetti, "You may become president one day."
Pitching his own green innovations, Garcetti talked up the Department of Water and Power, outlining how customers at the utility can sell back their solar power to the DWP. The Los Angeles Fire Department is also looking at using solar, in the event disaster strikes and traditional power sources are unusable.
Los Angeles has to be more resilient, Garcetti said, adding, "We've had two earthquakes in the last month."
Garcetti also praised the success of the 2009 Los Angeles streetlight program, a CGI initiative that converted more than 140,000 lamps and helped cut the city's power bill by 63 percent, the mayor pointed out.
"We got traditional financing on it, and banks are now lining up to do the next round," he said. "We're looking at putting solar panels on each one of those. We're looking at having Wi-Fi hotspots come up on each of them."
Thursday's conference marked the fifth meeting convened by President Clinton to discuss infrastructure with mayors.
After appearing with Garcetti, Clinton moderated a panel on pension fund investments with American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber.

Affordable Care Act creates residencies for doctors in South Florida health centers
Peering in the darkness toward the murky image of a 22-week-old fetus on a computer screen, Dr. Fabio Paes pointed to a tiny bump that, to a layman's eyes, appeared indistinguishable from the undulating shapes around it.
"That's the nose," the radiologist said, explaining the bulge on the sonogram's image. "And those are the lips. We're looking for cleft palates."
Sitting next to Paes, riveted by the pictures, was Dr. Andrius Lescauskas, 28, an aspiring family-medicine physician who is enrolled in a new residency program run by Community Health of South Florida, Inc., a not-for-profit healthcare company that caters primarily to a low-income population.
Lescauskas and a dozen other doctors under CHI's supervision are the first in Florida to be accepted into residencies as a result of a provision in the Affordable Care Act that establishes grants for the training of primary-care physicians. The aim is to address a severe shortage of such doctors nationwide.
Moving on to images of a 58-year-old woman who had complained of swelling in her neck, Paes pointed to a shape on the screen and asked his pupil, "Do you know what that is?"
Lescauskas identified it as the woman's trachea.
"That's right," the radiologist said, evidently pleased with his younger colleague's progress.
Lescauskas, a Lithuanian who graduated from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, is one of four residents specializing in family medicine under the program at CHI, which began July 1. Another four residents are focused on obstetrics and gynecology, and five on psychiatry. The training, much of it at the Doris Ison Health Center in Cutler Bay, costs $1.95 million a year, a grant administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The money given to CHI is part of a package of $83.4 million in grants nationwide to train new primary-care doctors in the coming year under the Teaching Health Center Program, which expands residency training for medical students in community-based settings. CHI and other organizations must apply for the grants every year.
"This is a huge step forward," said Dr. Saint Anthony Amofah, the chief medical officer at CHI. "The physician shortage is becoming more and more real — it's worsening. So this becomes a pipeline. By doing this, they increase the chances that there will be more doctors staying in health centers in underserved areas. I thought it was genius, actually. It showed incredible vision."
A driving impetus of the residency provision, Amofah said, was the certainty that the number of insured patients would rise following enactment of the ACA, and that the shortage of primary-care physicians would be even more keenly felt as a result.
"The patients are so happy to see us, which makes learning easier," said Dr. Alison Dubin Goldberg, a 29-year-old family-medicine intern from Miami Beach who was spending a month in the pediatric unit at Doris Ison as part of her rotation through the center's various departments and affiliated hospitals. "I didn't know I liked pediatrics until now."
Goldberg, a graduate of Nova Southeastern University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, said she had applied for residencies only in Miami and was thrilled to be accepted in CHI's.
In August, Goldberg's residency will take her to the surgery unit at Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami, followed by a month of night shifts there. She will be back in pediatrics at Doris Ison in October. The month after that, Goldberg will hone her skills in radiology, under Paes, and she will see the year out in Larkin's emergency room. Goldberg and her fellow family-medicine residents will keep up that kind of schedule for three years, while their psychiatry and ob-gyn colleagues are looking at four.
Officials at CHI, founded more than 40 years ago with a focus on the uninsured, say they treat almost 300,000 patients every year. The organization runs 10 health centers — CHI officials prefer to not use the term "clinic" — in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, and operates also in 42 public schools.
Tiffani Helberg, a spokeswoman for CHI, said the organization "gets a lot" out of having the 13 residents in its system. "We have more doctors to see patients," she said. "We also increase the quality of our care, because when you teach you really have to be on top of everything, a master of your craft."
In addition, Helberg said, CHI officials hope that once the residents become full-fledged specialists in their respective fields, they will join CHI's staff.
Hilary Gerber, an ob-gyn resident and a single mother of two boys, said it was "a dream come true" to be placed at Doris Ison, less than a mile from her home. Two years ago, as a fourth-year medical student at Nova Southeastern, she did a rotation at the facility. "I said at the time that I wanted to work here," Gerber recalled.
"There's only one other obstetrics residency within 500 miles, and they have hundreds of applicants," she said, referring to a program at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. "There a real crisis of residency positions around the country, and especially in ob-gyn. This was like a gift-wrapped present for me."

I went to Anthropologie a few days ago and saw these really cute Christmas trees in jars. I really wanted some, but they were going anywhere from $18 to $38! I thought they looked like they would be really easy to make so I decided to give it a shot.
I went to Michael's and picked up a jar of white glitter, a mason jar and a pack of decorative Christmas trees and ended up finding some salt shakers at the Goodwill for 99 cents! I forgot to pick up some silver glitter but had some loose silver eyeshadow I used instead. I put hot glue all around the outside of the trees and rolled them around in the silver glitter. Then, I hot glued the bottom of the trees and with some tweezers, glued them to the bottoms of the jars. I poured some white glitter into the jars as well and voila! I had some homemade Anthropologie Christmas tree jars.
