Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Transit advocates take for granted that public rail transportation relieves congestion on the roadways, but experts consider the question far from settled. Take two influential studies published in the last few years as an example: One found the latent demand for road space so strong that even expanding public transit can't hope to diminish it, while another concluded that cities with well-established rail systems do indeed have less traffic [PDF] than those that do not. And that's just in the recent past; the debate stretches back much farther, of course.
New research by two geographers at the University of Denver nudges the literature in a hopeful direction. Focusing on light rail in Denver, Sutapa Bhattacharjee and Andrew Goetz examine the question from two angles at once: they perform a temporal analysis that compares highway traffic before and after the system opened, and a spatial analysis that measures whether or not traffic changes have taken root on highways adjacent to the rail corridor. In a paper set for publication in the Journal of Transport Geography, Bhattacharjee and Goetz believe the light rail system, if nothing else, has made the traffic situation better than it would have been:
Overall, the three light rail corridors in operation have succeeded in lowering the rate of increase in the level of traffic on highways within the rail transit influence zone as compared to highways outside the influence zone.
Denver's light rail system consists of three major lines. The Central Corridor, which opened in 1994, serves the downtown area and the city's major sports venues. The Southwest Corridor, which began operation in 2000, serves the Littleton area just south of central Denver. And since 2006 the Southeast Corridor has covered the University of Denver and some major shopping centers nearby.
Bhattacharjee and Goetz first focus on changes in traffic levels, as measured by vehicle-miles traveled, before and after these three lines entered operation. They distinguish between two types of highway traffic: roads inside the rail line's zone of influence, and those outside it. If light rail service really does influence congestion, then traffic on those roads inside the rail corridor should feel the biggest change in traffic.
The changes became most noticeable once the lines had been underway for a year. When the Central Corridor first began, traffic rose 2.6 percent inside the zone and 1.2 percent outside it, but the following year it rose the same amount both inside and outside (7.4 percent). In 1999-2000, when the Southwest entered operation, traffic rose 13 percent inside the rail zone and 3 percent outside it, but the following year it fell more than 4 percent inside the zone while continuing to rise outside. When the Southeast line started, in 2005-2006, highway traffic decreased both inside and outside the rail zone, but while it continued to fall the following year inside the zone, it rose outside it.
Bhattacharjee and Goetz then looked for traffic fluctuations on certain roads adjacent to the various light rail lines. By this metric the impact of light rail was less striking, but still perceptible at times.
While traffic on roads near the Central Corridor increased 2 percent during the rail's third year of service, the bulk of the rise was on a single interstate. Three other adjacent roads experienced a decrease in congestion — one dropping 16 percent. The 13 percent rise on traffic near the Southwest line in 1999-2000 was attributable mostly to an increase on a single road, Santa Fe Drive, which was widened just before the rail began operation. When road traffic near the line fell 4.6 percent the following year, congestion on Santa Fe in particular dropped 9 percent.
Taken altogether, the findings suggest that light rail has had an important impact on traffic in the Denver region. At the very least, traffic has increased less quickly in corridors served by the rail: for instance, during the entire span of the study, from 1992 to 2008, vehicle-miles traveled rose 41 percent outside the light rail zones and only 31 percent inside it. That's particularly impressive considering the vast amount of development along rail corridors during that time, the authors conclude:
The impact of light rail, though not visible on the interstate highways, cannot be considered inconsequential. Light rail kept the rate of increase of traffic lower within the influence zone despite the large amount of residential, office, and commercial developments taking place around the light rail stations. From 1997 to 2010, approximately ''18,000 residential dwelling units, 5.3 million square feet of retail space, 5.4 million square feet of office space, and 6.2 million square feet of medical space were developed within one-half mile of existing and planned transit stations'' (Ratner and Goetz, 2011). The light rail ridership has increased steadily since the opening of the first corridor in 1994 (Table 7). It increased from 4 million in 1995 to 20 million in 2009, an increase of about 400%. If all the light rail users had driven cars instead, the level of traffic would have been much worse.

There's been plenty of talk about too much water at the site of Fayette's new school. Now the conversation has shifted to the lack of water.
There will be plenty of water for drinking and general purposes. The problem is related to the fire suppressant system.
Jim Price of Buehrer Group Architecture and Engineering told board of education members Monday the new system is 118 gallons a minute short of supplying the required amount of water.
Price said his firm obtained data from the village for a location on Willard Court, about 4,000 feet from the school location.
Board member David Brinegar asked if the village's data was wrong.
"Not necessarily," Price answered.
Fayette village administrator Tom Spiess agreed with that assessment when asked about the issue later.
"The background data that we had was made available to the school's design team early on in the project," Spiess said. "We shared what we had, and let them know that they were welcome to follow up with our engineers if needed."
The data was the result of water flow testing for an ISO insurance rating. To his knowledge, the village engineering firm was not contacted for additional information.
Price said his firm will consider three options. First, he wants to make sure all valves in the village water system are fully opened. Spiess said that option was explored and resulted in a small increase in water flow.
A second option would involve laying a new water line to form a loop in the village system. Currently, the school is at the end of the water line. A loop might increase capacity, Price said, but testing will have to be conducted to see if that option is feasible.
The third option would involve constructing a storage device capable of holding 30,000 gallons of water. That's the quantity of water needed to supply the required 60 minutes of fire suppression.
Price would like to avoid that option due to the added costs, however, he didn't address the cost of a new water line to form a loop.
Price will meet with village officials Friday to further discuss the issue. Spiess said he was hopeful the school's design team will find some cost effective solutions that benefit both the school and the community.

Obama: US will do 'everything it can' to help Nigeria find abducted girls
President Barack Obama called the kidnapping of more than 200 girls in Nigeria "awful" and pledged Tuesday that the U.S. will do "everything it can" to help the Nigerian government track down the abductors.
"As a father of two girls, I can't imagine what the parents are going through," Obama said in a Rose Garden
with CBS.
Nigeria's president has accepted a U.S. offer to have a team of experts help with efforts to locate more than 200 girls abducted three weeks ago by a group the U.S. considers a terrorist organization.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan accepted Secretary of State John Kerry's offer of assistance in a phone call Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
The U.S. embassy offered to create an "interdisciplinary team," Carney said, that would include U.S. military personnel and law enforcement officials with expertise in investigations and hostage negotiations.
Carney said the U.S. isn't considering sending military troops to the country, but that Obama "has directed that we do everything we can to help the Nigerian government." The girls were seized from their school overnight three weeks ago by gunmen with the radical Islamist group, Boko Haram.
An extremist Nigerian insurgent leader boasted Monday that he had kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls and planned to sell them.
Obama called the group "one of the worst regional terrorist organizations in the world" and said once the girls are recovered, "we're going to have to more broadly tackle a pernicious problem inside that country."
He told
that the kidnapping "may be the event that helps to mobilize the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organization."
Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters that the U.S. has been in engaged in the situation since "day one," but the Nigerian government "had its own set of strategies, if you will" -- that didn't include U.S. help.
But, he said, "the complications that have arisen have convinced everybody that there needs to be a greater effort, and it will begin immediately. I mean literally immediately."
Kerry said the State Department and embassy have been in touch with the Nigerian government and the U.S. Africa Command "and I think you're going to see a very, very rapid response."
Kerry, who was to meet with Obama in the afternoon to talk about the situation, said the U.S. would "do everything in our power to able to be helpful."
"We're going to send a team, and it'll be a combined team ready to work," Kerry said. "But you have to have a host country that's ready to receive and work with you in any situation, and we're prepared to work."

Today, Dr. Chen is a full-time member of the Glaucoma Service and specializes in treating glaucoma in both adults and children. Glaucoma, an eye disease in which the optic nerve can be damaged severely, is the second-leading cause of blindness after cataracts and the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Often called the "silent thief of sight" because vision loss often occurs gradually over a long period of time, glaucoma produces symptoms only when the disease is quite advanced. Unfortunately, vision, once lost, cannot be recovered, so treatment is aimed at preventing further loss. "Because I treat patients with glaucoma, I tend to see them every four months for follow-up care. Sometimes, the whole family comes to support the patient, so I have the privilege of really getting to know each person," noted Dr. Chen. "Helping my patients to preserve their vision and better enjoy their remaining vision is very rewarding." Dr. Chen recalled one patient—a young teenage athlete—who came to her with juvenile open angle glaucoma. The patient already had lost sight in one eye because the glaucoma had irreversibly clouded her vision to the point where she could not see images anymore, only light. To prevent vision loss in the patient's other healthy eye, Dr. Chen performed a trabeculectomy, which prevented the glaucoma from worsening and enabled the patient to stop all her glaucoma medications. "I was truly inspired by this patient," Dr. Chen reflected. "Her great maturity was simply outstanding, and I was so glad to be a part of her being able to be back out playing sports again." Glaucoma has no known cure, and Dr. Chen's research interests include investigating new imaging technologies that will enable physicians to diagnosis the disease sooner and to have a more sensitive tool that better detects disease progression. Dr. Chen was the leader for the initial clinical studies that evaluated spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) for glaucoma care as well as swept source imaging while working with Johannes de Boer, PhD of the Massachusetts General Hospital. She continues to collaborate with him and other researchers at Mass General. As the former Chief Quality Officer for Ophthalmology at Mass. Eye and Ear, Dr. Chen spent 10 years helping to ensure excellent patient care at Mass. Eye and Ear. "Our hospital is one of the first to objectively evaluate the quality of eye care and to make this information available to the healthcare community and the public," she explained. "This information also shows us where we excel and motivates us to improve in other areas." Dr. Chen graduated number one from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute-Albany Medical College's Six-Year Accelerated Medical Program in 1993, and subsequently completed a residency in ophthalmology at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. She then completed a fellowship in glaucoma at Mass. Eye and Ear. She has served as President of the Chandler-Grant Glaucoma Society, which is the Harvard Medical School glaucoma fellowship alumni society. As a part of her presidency, Dr. Chen initiated CME accreditation of a biennial glaucoma symposium which is held at Mass Eye and Ear and which features international speakers who seek to integrate research and clinical disciplines that will aid in the prevention of blindness from glaucoma. As an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Chen is grateful to continue giving back to the community by teaching medical students, resident and fellows. She shares her in-depth glaucoma knowledge around the world through her glaucoma book entitled, Glaucoma Surgery, which is published by Elsevier. Contact Dr. Chen's office at 617-573-3670.

The idea was bold for its time.
Founded in 1889, Barnard was the only college in New York City, and one of the few in the nation, where women could receive the same rigorous and challenging education available to men. The College was named after educator, mathematician, and tenth president of Columbia College, Frederick A.P. Barnard, who argued unsuccessfully for the admission of women to Columbia University. The school's founding, however, is largely due to the rallying efforts of Annie Nathan Meyer, a student and writer who was equally dissatisfied with Columbia's stance, and staunchly committed to the education of women. She joined forces with a small group of her peers to petition the University Trustees for an affiliated self-sustaining liberal arts women's college, and in two years accomplished what she had set out to do.
The first Barnard class met in a rented brownstone at 343 Madison Avenue, just blocks from Grand Central Station; there was a faculty of six and 14 students in the School of Arts. Nine years later, the college moved to its present site on Morningside Heights. One of the original Seven Sisters, Barnard was, from the beginning, a place that took women seriously and challenged them intellectually.
In 1900, Barnard was included in the educational system of Columbia University with provisions unique among women's colleges: it was governed by its own trustees, faculty, and dean, and was responsible for its own endowment and facilities, while sharing instruction, the libraries, and the degree of the university. Somewhat ironically, when Columbia College finally went co-ed in 1983, as Frederick A.P. Barnard had wished nearly a century before, one might have thought Barnard would easily be subsumed. Instead, then President Ellen Futter fought for the College to remain independent and worked toward a new and lasting agreement with Columbia in light of their decision to admit women.
Today, under President Sian Beilock, Barnard's place in higher education is undeniably sound and strong. Over the course of 128 years and twelve great women leaders—from winning the right to hire our own faculty in 1900 through the pivotal protests of 1968, to the historic admission of transgender women in 2016 and the opening of The Milstein Center in 2018—Barnard continues to flourish and excel.

Subscribe Recent quotes: It's OK to indulge once in a while, study suggests: The body adapts to occasional short-term overeating: Body focuses on removing glucose to preserve insulin sensitivity in short-term overeating bout -- ScienceDaily Although the amount of visceral fat that surrounds internal organs increased substantially, short-term overeating did not have a significant effect on the men's weight or fat mass. In addition, fasting levels of blood sugar and C-peptide -- an amino acid the body releases in response to increased production of insulin -- did not change. This finding was surprising because fasting levels of endogenous glucose -- new glucose the body produces in addition to what it has already stored for future use -- increased during the short-term trial. Chronic overeating increased the amount of total body fat and visceral fat as well as post-meal blood sugar and C-peptide levels. However, it did not alter fasting blood sugar levels, endogenous glucose production or the rate of glucose removal from the body (glucose disposal). This may be because the nutrient profile in the long-term trial was consistent with a typical diet and dietary fat percentages did not increase. Long-term overindulgence in fatty foods, instead of more nutritionally balanced foods, may be an important factor that causes rapid changes in blood sugar control. # #insulin #time-restricted-eating #glucose - sciencedaily.com How eating feeds into the body clock -- ScienceDaily Dr Priya Crosby, a researcher at the MRC LMB and lead author on the study, highlighted: "Our data suggests that eating at the wrong times could have a major impact on our circadian rhythms. There is still work to do here, but paying particular attention to meal timing and light exposure is likely the best way to mitigate the adverse effects of shift-work. Even for those who work more traditional hours, being careful about when we eat is an important way to help maintain healthy body clocks, especially as we age." #circadian #insulin #time-restricted-eating - sciencedaily.com Effects of intermittent and continuous calorie restriction on body weight and metabolism over 50 wk: a randomized controlled trial | The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition | Oxford Academic Loge relative weight change over the intervention phase was −7.1% ± 0.7% (mean ± SEM) with ICR, −5.2% ± 0.6% with CCR, and −3.3% ± 0.6% with the control regimen (Poverall < 0.001, PICR vs. CCR = 0.053). Despite slightly greater weight loss with ICR than with CCR, there were no significant differences between the groups in the expression of 82 preselected genes in adipose tissue implicated in pathways linking obesity to chronic diseases. At the final follow-up assessment (week 50), weight loss was −5.2% ± 1.2% with ICR, −4.9% ± 1.1% with CCR, and −1.7% ± 0.8% with the control regimen (Poverall = 0.01, PICR vs. CCR = 0.89). These effects were paralleled by proportional changes in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue volumes. There were no significant differences between ICR and CCR regarding various circulating metabolic biomarkers. #DNA #diabetes #time-restricted-eating - academic.oup.com Seeing and smelling food prepares the mouse liver for digestion -- ScienceDaily A previous study published in Cell in 2015 by another team of researchers found that sensory perception of food by lab mice was enough to trigger the neural pathways normally fueled by eating. Specifically, perceiving food inhibited AgRP neurons, which stimulate appetite, and activated POMC neurons, which induce satiety and suppress eating. The new study built on that research, focusing on how the changes in these neural pathways sent signals that affected metabolic activities in the liver. Here, the researchers found that within five minutes of lab mice perceiving food, the changes in POMC neuron activity were enough to induce a rapid signaling cascade that activated the mTOR and xbp1 signaling pathways. These pathways are normally activated when the liver takes up amino acids from digested food and help increase the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which assembles proteins from the amino acids found in food. #DNA #insulin #time-restricted-eating - sciencedaily.com Get an email when henry copeland finds goodquotes on these topics: Subscribe All communism x12 history x76

CEO Challenge Reflections: Human Capital Practitioners Respond
- Authors:
Publication Date:
September 2012
In follow-up research briefings to The Conference Board CEO Challenge 2012 report, human capital professionals responded to the human capital strategies cited by the 370 CEOs that ranked Human capital as one of their top three challenges. In some cases the strategies were aligned, but there are also some sharp contrasts resulting from differing perspectives. This report compares responses across geographic regions as well.

The audience, le beau monde of cinema, has gathered at the Debussy Theater on this unseasonably cool May morning on the French Riviera. The event, officially the opening of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, will be remembered for freakish storms that left stars shivering on the soaked red carpet.
But before the Palme d'Or, a little stand-up comedy from Mr. Costolo, the chief executive of
Nah. Out goes the script.
"Since I've got 45 minutes, if we can just start with some quick introductions," he says, gesturing to the front row. "Start over here. Stand up, say what company you're from and what animal you could be if you could be any animal."
So goes his keynote speech at
It's not quite as strange as it sounds. Long before the Twitter revolution and his ascent to the heights of social media, Mr. Costolo was a professional comedian. And you know what? He's still doing improv — only it's the business kind. He'll wax on about growth and revenue like the next C.E.O. But then he'll dig out a joke and do something that might hurt his business — and miff his investors — because, well, he thinks that something is the right thing to do.
He has broken with the pack on the issue of patent infringement, an issue that drives the tech world crazy, and, in stark contrast to
Even in Silicon Valley, that Neverland of
"People have Plato's form in their mind of what a leader is, or what a C.E.O. is, and it is a bunch of elements that I really don't conform to at all," Mr. Costolo says. "I've given this a lot of thought, and I came to the conclusion that I don't care."
That kind of attitude could take Twitter to heretofore unimaginable success. Or it could turn it into a B-school case study of a start-up company gone wrong. The choice, for the moment, is Mr. Costolo's. Today, Twitter seems ubiquitous. But this company didn't even exist seven years ago. Bankrolled by venture capitalists, it has grown into a multibillion-dollar enterprise with 140 million users worldwide. Although the company doesn't share its financials, it is estimated that it will have $350 million in revenue this year. "We're an entire quarter ahead of our projected goals," one executive says.
Its next big step is to go public on the stock market, and insiders say the current goal is to have an initial public offering in 2014. Twitter's social media twin, Facebook, has already gone public, of course — and, so far, Facebook stockholders have lost billions, at least on paper. Facebook's troubled I.P.O. hangs over the technology industry as a cautionary tale of how investors can become star-struck.
Mr. Costolo didn't found Twitter. Jack Dorsey, Christopher Stone and Evan Williams did. But today Mr. Costolo is essentially running the business alone, and friends and colleagues say he is eager to build the company. And he has succeeded before. During the early 1990s, he worked at Andersen Consulting to subsidize his comedy career. He tried to explain this thing called the World Wide Web to his bosses, but, he says, they didn't listen. So he and several co-workers started their own consulting firm, Burning Door Networked Media, specializing in Web projects.
Mr. Costolo went on to help found and sell three companies. One of them, Spyonit, notified people when a Web site changed. (This was a decade before anyone had heard the term "real time.") People used Spyonit to monitor auctions on
But starting a small company and then selling it to a big one, difficult as it can be, seems easy next to taking Twitter to the next level. On paper, Twitter is valued at close to $10 billion. That means the most likely exit strategy for its initial backers — notably Charles River Ventures, Benchmark Capital, Union Square Ventures and Mr. Costolo himself — would be to take the company public. But after the Facebook fiasco, Mr. Costolo will have to persuade Wall Street that Twitter, and its share price, could keep rising.
His audience — Wall Street, Silicon Valley and the wider world — is waiting for his next act.
SILICON VALLEY sometimes seems like high school. Companies tend to form cliques around alpha personalities. Stereotypes are stereotypes, but sometimes there's something to them. Facebook employees can seem to be nerdy, hard-charging engineers — just like their C.E.O., Mr. Zuckerberg.
"In a board meeting, he's pretty down to all business," says Mike McCue, the chief executive of Flipboard and a former member of Twitter's board. "But if you get him on stage or outside, then it's different story. He utilizes all his really cool stand-up comedic talents."
Mr. Costolo certainly doesn't come across as a strident, over-serious executive. As they do each summer, heavyweights from the worlds of media and technology descended on
One afternoon there, Mr. Costolo remembers, an executive tapped him on the shoulder and showed him something that another chief executive might have found embarrassing: A video titled "#flockmob" uploaded on YouTube, showing a dancing flash mob of Twitter employees in the company's cafeteria. It was choreographed to the song
"That's awesome!" Mr. Costolo said.
Mr. Costolo embraces such antics, and often joins in.
Once a week, Twitter employees meet for Tea Time, an off-the-record conversation with executives. Outsiders are forbidden. Employees say that this is where Mr. Costolo, who stands on a stage with a microphone and answers questions, shines. Sometimes the meetings are serious; other times they are rife with comedic relief.
"Dick can stand up there in front of all of the employees and just work the crowd," says one Twitter employee, who, like other employees, spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to offend his bosses. "One minute he's talking about revenues or negative press, the next he's cracking jokes and making fun of employees for tweets they've sent during the week."
During one Tea Time, employees played Battledecks, a Silicon Valley game in which people improvise presentations from previously unseen, and often strange, PowerPoint slides. Mr. Costolo grabbed the mike, and before nearly 1,000 employees, performed as if he were host for a late-night comedy show.
As previously unseen slides of strange images streamed by, Mr. Costolo narrated as if he were on stage at an improv comedy club.
He can also handle being the butt of jokes.
Marcus Phillips, an engineer at Twitter, once dressed up as Mr. Costolo — wearing a shirt stuffed with tissues to imitate Mr. Costolo's brawny build, along with glasses and a bald cap — and mimicked his boss during a presentation.
Mr. Costolo then took the microphone and said: "Everyone say goodbye. Today is his last day."
He was kidding.
But the business of Twitter is no joking matter. At times, the company has made decisions that might hurt its prospects.
While lawsuits over patents have embroiled many tech giants — Apple, Samsung,
Twitter approaches privacy differently, too. In May, when Twitter announced a new feature on its Web site that tracks users with the goal of offering better suggestions for whom to follow, the company also gave people the ability to opt out of being monitored, with a feature called "do not track."
The Federal Trade Commission, which has clashed with Facebook over privacy issues, publicly praised the new features. The White House did, too.
Mr. McCue of Flipboard says Twitter and its C.E.O. are pushing the traditional limits of what it means to be a company that delivers media to people. It is neither a technology company nor a media company, he says.
"Twitter is an entirely new thing," Mr. McCue says. "I like the fact that Twitter is unapologetic to that. Dick is the same way with his decisions."
Twitter has defended the privacy of its users. It has taken on
"No one wants a pen that's going to rat them out," says Alexander Macgillivray, Twitter's chief lawyer. "We all want pens that can be used to write anything, and that will stand up for who we are."
IN Twitter's early days, Mr. Stone, nicknamed Biz, said this of the company's growth: "It's like we're on a rocket ship that we were just painting, and suddenly it took off and we're holding onto the ship with our fingernails."
Nowadays, Mr. Costolo is the one trying to steer that rocket.
He didn't plan to end up at Twitter. In 2009, Mr. Costolo and his wife, Lorin, and their two children grew tired of
Last year, Mr. Costolo brought back Mr. Dorsey, who left the company in 2008 after he struggled to fix engineering problems that knocked Twitter offline for hours at a time. Such problems still occasionally plague the service.
Mr. Dorsey's role has since been reduced after employees complained that he was difficult to work with and repeatedly changed his mind about product directions. He no longer has anyone directly reporting to him, although he is still involved in strategic decisions.
Mr. Dorsey declined to comment on how people feel about working with him. But, in a statement, he said he considered Mr. Costolo to be one of Twitter's founders. "He's had a dramatic impact on the company and the culture," Mr. Dorsey said. "He's questioned everything we started with and made it better."
Mr. Costolo says he looks to Mr. Dorsey for ideas and sometimes has to pull them out of him. Although Mr. Dorsey is a regular on the media circuit, appearing on CNN, as well as "Charlie Rose" and other programs, he tends to be quiet in meetings.
"Dick does a good job of saying 'Jack, what do you think?' " says Michael Sippey, director of consumer product at Twitter. Mr. Sippey works with Mr. Dorsey to make sure that new features are "Twittery."
Mr. Costolo's quick decision-making can be both good for a company that is growing so quickly, but bad for people who move more slowly than him. Employees say he can come across as insensitive. Earlier this year, for example, he ousted a senior employee over the phone to save time. He has also pushed some stockholders off the board.
Mr. Costolo has also evicted some third-party applications from Twitter, a decision that some see as insensitive to early adopters who helped the company grow.
"The techno-enthusiasts that helped Twitter grow are far less valuable to them today," says Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at
When Mr. Costolo doesn't get his way, he tends to bang his fingers on a tablet as if he's playing an imaginary piano that won't make any sounds. Even so, his work ethic — and comedy — have come to permeate Twitter's culture.
Not anymore, Mr. Costolo says.
"It's really difficult to change a company's culture, but I did this by making sure I stayed late," he says. "I'd go home, have dinner with my kids and then come back into the office. People knew that if they were in the office at 10 p.m., I'd be here, too, and that's when I would go around and talk to people and answer questions."
Advertising is just one of the potential revenue sources for Twitter. Adam Bain, who joined Twitter in 2010 from the Fox Audience Network, says tweets, those 140-character Twitter messages, have become "envelopes." When people share messages about a movie, for instance, Twitter now embeds a video that can be watched directly within their Twitter stream. Eventually, Mr. Bain says, you could perform transactions inside those envelopes, too, like buying a ticket to a movie that someone just tweeted about.
If such ideas pan out, Twitter's revenue, which is expected to reach $1 billion by 2014, could soar.
Twitter has come a long way since it started out in 2006 in a small, grimy office with a rat problem in the South Park area of San Francisco. The company is now in its fourth headquarters — three floors of a former furniture warehouse on Market Street, complete with a 10,000-square-foot roof
The conference rooms are named after
Twitter's signature color — a deep, flat turquoise — is everywhere. So are Twitter mugs, Twitter T-shirts and Twitter hoodies.
Mr. Costolo has come a long way, too, since his comedy club days. In Chicago, he once was a co-host for a comedy show about a fake university course called "Modern Problems in Science." The audience would decide the roles of the comedians, who then posed as professors. At one show, for example, the troupe had to prove that "ugly things fall faster than pretty things."
Those nights taught Mr. Costolo a number of lessons that he now applies to running a company of 1,300 employees. He rarely uses the word "but." Instead, he says "Yes, and ... " — an improv principle that allows people to discuss something without disagreeing.
He also says improv taught him how to see things through to the end.
ONCE at a large theater in Chicago, he says, "we were about seven minutes into this one-hour show and we knew it got off on the wrong foot." People started howling curse words at him and were trying to shout the troupe off the stage, he remembers.
"People are yelling, 'Get 'em off!' and we're up there for another 53 minutes. There is no safety net — a juggler isn't going to come out and save us — we just have to keep going for another 53 minutes."
Mr. Costolo is still ad-libbing — and there's no safety net at Twitter, either.Continue reading the main story

Hartman renovation continues
Thursday, January 3, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
New energy-efficient windows will make 85-year-old Hartman Hall at Pittsburg State University a more comfortable place, but for the workers installing the new windows, there is no refuge from the chill.
The work on Hartman Hall is part of an upgrade that includes new windows, doors and an entrance facing the PSU Oval. In 2011, workers restored masonry on the building and replaced the roof.
Hartman Hall was originally known as Mechanics Hall or the Mechanical Arts Building. In 1970, it was rededicated to honor Harry V. Hartman, an alumnus of PSU (then Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg) who taught industrial education at the university from 1920 until 1959.
Hartman, who may be best known as the founder of the university's automotive technical training program, drew up the plans for the original building, which is in a neo-Egyptian architectural style popular at the time. His plans were also used for an addition in 1947.
For much of its life, Hartman Hall housed the university's automotive technology programs as well as Instructional Media. Since the construction of the Kansas Technology Center in 1997, the building has been home to PSU's electricians, painters and carpenters. In 2010, the third floor was remodeled to house the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology.

Peru declares state of emergency
Date created : Latest update :
The authorities in Peru declared a state of emergency in several northern provinces on Wednesday after three people died during protests over a controversial gold mine project, marking the second time a state of emergency has been enforced in weeks.
AP - Peru's government declared a state of emergency in three provinces after three people died and at least 21 suffered injuries Tuesday in a violent protest against a gold mining project that is the South American nation's biggest investment.
It was the second time in five weeks that the government has declared an emergency after anti-mining protests produced fatalities.
Justice Minister Juan Jimenez announced the emergency, which suspends civil liberties, after several thousand protesters attacked a provincial town hall and battled police and soldiers.
Police guarding the municipal building in Celendin, a town in the northern state of Cajamarca, fought back when the protesters attacked and later got help from soldiers, officials said.
Jimenez said two police officers and a solder were wounded by gunfire.
Authorities did not say whether police or troops used their weapons.
Three male civilians were killed during the fight, at least two of them by gunshots to the head, Reynaldo Nunez, Cajamarca's health director, told The Associated Press by phone. Most of the injured had received blows, he said.
Nunez said he did not know whether police or soldiers were among the injured.
The local prosecutor said 15 people were arrested.
Celendin is a stronghold of opposition to the proposed $4.8 billion Conga gold mine, which many locals fear will hurt their water supplies. The mine's majority owner is Newmont Mining Co., a U.S. company based in the state of Colorado.
It is one of two main recent flashpoints of opposition against mining in Peru to fall under a government-declared state of emergency. The other is the highlands province of Espinar, near the former Incan capital of Cuzco. The government declared a 30-day state of emergency there on May 29 after two people were killed in a protest against a Swiss-owned copper mine.
In Cajamarca, protesters backed by the regional president, Gregorio Santos, have refused to accept a compromise on Conga proposed by President Ollanta Humala that his government says will protect water supplies.
The compromise includes the construction of four reservoirs to replace reservoirs that are to be destroyed by the project.
Celendin's town manager, Moises Silva, told the AP that violence broke out when construction workers arrived at the town hall and began kicking its main door, prompting police officers to fire tear gas.
"After that, a fierce battle began between the protesters and police, and also soldiers who intervened in support of the police," he said. "You could hear gunshots."
The violence came just days after Yanacocha, the company in charge of Conga, began work on the new reservoirs.
The anti-mining protesters accuse Humala, who was elected one year ago, of betraying a campaign promise he made in Cajamarca that access to clean water would come before mining.
The regional president, Santos, called Tuesday's deaths "the dramatic cost that is paid in politics when one doesn't keep one's word."
Humala's modified message after taking office and moving from left to center on the political spectrum holds that responsible mining can co-exist with environmental protection and provides important revenues that can help lift rural Peruvians from poverty.
Mining accounts for more than 60 percent of Peru's export earnings and has been the engine of a decade-long economic boom.

|In the 1940s, the US Government needed uranium for its atomic weapons program. It largely found the uranium ore it needed on Navajo territory in Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. Many mines were constructed in quest for what the Navajo called 'yellow dirt.' While the government got the ore it needed, workers in the mines and neighbors of the mining sites received significant radiation exposure. In this segment, we'll talk with Judy Pasternak, author of 'Yellow Dirt,' a new book looking at the history and environmental legacy of uranium mining on Navajo lands.

Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine represents a sprawling district that covers 38,000 square miles and includes plenty of Dairy Queens.
Rep. Scott Hochberg, D-Houston, represents a dense district covering about 14 square miles of Houston.
There are no Dairy Queens in his district…..just an occasional Sonic, Hochberg told Gallego during debate on the Voter ID bill.
The legislation would require photo identification before Texas voters could cast a ballot.
Gallego complained that voters in his remote district should not have to drive a hundred miles to get a DPS sponsored ID card if they don't have a driver's license.
Rural counties that don't have a DPS office should be exempted from the bill because people in remote areas should not be forced to drive long distances to get a photo ID, Gallego argued.
He lost, 100-49.
Democrats have lost dozens of amendments by similar margins.
The debate continues. The outcome is not in doubt.

January 31, 2005
LOS ANGELES—For his efforts in helping consumers save more for retirement, Shlomo Benartzi, associate professor of accounting at UCLA Anderson School of Management, was honored by Money Magazine with its first-ever "Class Acts" Awards. The publication featured him in its January 2005 issue.
Prof. Benartzi was recognized for his pioneering research that investigates participant behavior in defined contribution plans. (He worked in conjunction with University of Chicago professor Richard Thaler, who was also honored.) In particular, Prof. Benartzi's research examines how individuals make financial decisions in retirement saving plans. Together, the two scholars developed "behavioral prescriptions" to assist employees in making better financial decisions. One of those prescriptions is the Save More Tomorrow™ (SMT) program.
Money Magazine, in issuing the Class Acts Awards, sought out individuals and organizations "that make a significant difference to your family's well-being." Below is the passage from Money Magazine on Professors Benartzi and Thaler:
They Tricked Us into Saving More
Shlomo Benartzi, UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Richard Thaler, The University of Chicago
If investors are often at war with their own best interests, these guys deserve a peace prize. The problem they tackled is this: We Americans don't save enough for retirement, and it's extremely hard to persuade us to save any more. Once the money is in our pockets, or figured into our budgets, we generally won't give it up.
But Benartzi and Thaler knew from their work in the field of behavioral economics that it's much easier to convince people to give up money they don't yet have. So they developed Save More Tomorrow, which asks participants to agree in advance to have a slightly higher percentage of their salaries taken out of their paychecks each year. The increased 401(k) contribution comes out of raises, so you sock away more money without ever seeing an actual decline in your take-home pay.
The results at the first company to roll out the program were amazing. Employees who joined more than tripled their savings rate to 11.6% in 28 months. Now Benartzi and Thaler are working with providers like Vanguard and Fidelity to include the program in 401(k) plans they administer. Vanguard, for one, now offers its version at several hundred corporations.
by Amy Feldman, Jonah Freedman, Roberta Kirwan, Ellen McGirt and Donna Rosato
"The SMT program was created in response to a shift in the way companies are setting up their retirement plans," said Prof. Benartzi. "There has been a switch from defined benefit plans to defined contributions plans, causing employees to bear the burden for making decisions about how much to save," he added.
"The SMT program grew out of studies suggesting that many people want to save more, but often put off hard decisions that would allow them to do it. I'm honored that our pioneering behavioral research is helping individuals effectively save for their retirements and their futures."
Currently, the United Kingdom government is testing the SMT program — an experiment that will enable Prof. Benartzi to measure participant behavior in retirement plans outside the United States.
Prof. Benartzi's research investigates participant behavior in defined contribution plans, examining:
- How participants make investment choices in retirement saving plans.
- How plan participants and plan sponsors view company stock.
- The role of plan design on participant behavior.
- How employee saving rates can be increased.
Professors Benartzi and Thaler had they behavioral research published in the Journal of Political Economy, February 2004, Vol. 112.1, Part 2, pp. S164-S187. You can download the paper at the following link:
The two are currently working on additional "behavioral prescriptions" to help employees better diversify their retirement portfolios. Their latest working paper is available for download at the following link:

Bulldogs On Road Saturday

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's lacrosse team (2-2), on the road for the second straight weekend, opens Ivy League play by taking on No. 3/4 Cornell Saturday at 1 p.m. at Schoellkopf Field.
The Bulldogs led 3-2 in the second quarter when the Big Red scored four unanswered goals in three minutes on the way to a 10-8 win at Reese Stadium last March. Greg Mahony led Yale with three goals, Brandon Mangan had two and Matt Miller and Deron Dempster each chipped in one. The Elis won the faceoff battle 14-7 and outshot Cornell 37-33. Big Red goalkeepers AJ Fiore and Andrew West combined for 14 saves, while Jonathan Falcone '11 finished with 10 stops for the Elis.
The Big Red leads the series 44-23-1. Yale's last win was 7-6 in 1999 at home, while the last Bulldog win at Ithaca was an 11-10 OT decision in 1996.
Yale ran into one of the nation's hottest teams in its first road game of the year last Sunday at Lehigh, now ranked No. 11, and fell 11-7 at the Ulrich Sports Complex. The Moutain Hawks (6-1), winners of six straight, used one of the nation's top defenses to hold the Bulldogs to their lowest goal total of the young season. Lehigh also used a five-goal run that began late in the third quarter to put a close game away. Conrad Oberbeck led the Blue with three goals, captain Michael Pratt added a pair.
The Big Red, coming off a 9-8 OT loss to No. 1 Virginia in last week's Konica Minolta Face-off Classic at Baltimore, averaged 18 goals in their first three games. There were relatively easy wins over Binghamton, Army and Canisius before facing the top-ranked Cavaliers.

This award honors Division I seniors who have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. Mahony, a midfielder selected for the 2012 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, is a two-time All-Ivy and All-New England selection who was taken by the Boston Cannons in the 2012 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft. He has a 3.44 GPA and is majoring in the history of medicine science (pre-med) at Yale. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities. Mahony is following in the footsteps of Yale goalie Johnathan Falcone '11, a finalist for the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award who was named to the Lowe's second-team All-America squad.
Junior Cole Yeager (Wayne, Pa.) was Yale's top face-off specialist last year and led the Ivies with a .648 winning percentage. He led Yale with 75 ground balls to go along with three goals. He was picked for the insidelacrosse.com Pre-Season All-Ivy League Team as well as its pre-season honorable mention All-America squad.
Sophomore Dylan Levings has been sharing face-off time with Cole Yeager, who typically starts the game. However, Levings ranks ninth in the nation with a .630 face-off win percentage. He is 18th in ground balls (5.50). Levings was the backup on the X last year but still led the team with a .726 win percentage. He did not have enough attempts to qualify for the national rankings.
Two members of the Yale defense have been leaders in taking the ball away from opponents. Juniors Peter Johnson and Michael McCormack are both ranked ninth in Division I with 2.25 caused turnovers per game.
Yale, coming off a game at No. 11 Lehigh, is at No. 3/4 Cornell this week before No. 15/16 Princeton and No. 20 Penn come to New Haven.

Andy Shay, in his ninth season at Yale, has engineered consecutive 10-win seasons, a 20-8 record, two Ivy League Tournament appearances and a regular-season Ivy League Championship in the last two springs. He guided the 2010 Bulldogs to a 10-4 season that included a share of the Ivy League title and a spot in the inaugural league tournament. The Bulldogs' 2010 season marked the first post-season appearance since 1992 and the first Ivy championship since 1990. Shay's squad was ranked as high as No. 9 at one point during the campaign. He is 56-55 overall at Yale. Shay, named Yale head coach on June 25, 2003, helped guide the University of Massachusetts to the 2002 and 2003 NCAA quarterfinals as an assistant coach for four years. Prior to joining UMass' staff, Shay was an assistant coach at Delaware, where in 1999 he helped the Blue Hens capture the America East title with a 14-3 record and advance to the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history. Shay began his coaching career as the head coach at Morrisville (N.Y.) Junior College, and he compiled a 20-17 record in three years. Shay is a 1994 graduate of LeMoyne College where he was a four-year starting defenseman and served as team captain for two years. He was an All-Empire League selection as a senior when he led the team to a league title.
Yale, which shared a league title in 2010, has won six Ivy League Championships, including the first one handed out in 1956. The others came in 1969, 1988, 89, 90 and 2010. The outright titles were in 1956 and 1989.
Evan Ellis 12 and West Haven High School lacrosse coach Patrick Reed call the action on Yale All Access. All Yale home games can be seen live on yalebulldogs.com and include a 10 minute pre-game show.
Reese Stadium, which was dedicated on April 9, 2011, is a state-of-the-art facility for both Yale lacrosse and soccer teams. The renovations completed last summer include increased stadium seating, an entry plaza, team rooms and a press box. Recent improvements included a FieldTurf surface and new lighting. Reese Stadium, formerly known as the Yale Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium, is named after former lacrosse players Jason Reese '87 and Jon Reese '90.
