(Paul J. Richards/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In November, two computer science graduate students at Stanford University began a study of phone metadata privacy. They figured that this kind of information could be extremely sensitive, but they didn’t expect to find much evidence one way or the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The degree of sensitivity among contacts took us aback,” study co-author Jonathan Mayer wrote on his blog, “Web Policy,” where the \u003ca href=\"http://webpolicy.org/2014/03/12/metaphone-the-sensitivity-of-telephone-metadata/\">research findings\u003c/a> were published Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Participants had calls with Alcoholics Anonymous, gun stores, NARAL Pro-Choice, labor unions, divorce lawyers, sexually transmitted disease clinics, a Canadian import pharmacy, strip clubs, and much more,” Mayer reported. “This was not a hypothetical parade of horribles. These were simple inferences, about real phone users, that could trivially be made on a large scale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone interview, Mayer said: “One of the arguments that has cropped up again and again in the phone metadata privacy debate is, ‘What’s the big deal? It’s just phone numbers.’ And we thought, ‘OK, let’s take a look at how hard it is to take a phone number and map to it to an individual or business or professional service.' We found it was very, very easy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In only three months, Mayer and co-author Patrick Mutchler ferreted out an amazing amount of information about the 546 participants in their study — all volunteers who ran the MetaPhone app on their Android smartphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two grad students identified the participants’ contacts by matching phone numbers against Yelp and Google Place directories to see who was receiving calls. The participants contacted 33,688 unique numbers. Of those, 18 percent -- or 6,107 -- were identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'You Don't Need a Ph.D. to Figure This Out'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The computer scientists analyzed individual calls to numbers that could be deemed sensitive — anything a person might not want to be public, such as political or religious affiliation, health status, gun ownership or finances. They created 11 sensitive categories in the study, and then they analyzed patterns of calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One participant, for example, communicated with multiple local neurology groups, a specialty pharmacy, a rare-condition management service and a hotline for a pharmaceutical used only to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need a Ph.D. in computer science to figure out what’s going on there,” said Mayer, 27, who got a law degree from Stanford last year and now lives in San Francisco. He has been working on his doctorate for more than four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayer and Mutchler used the crowdsourced data to answer some questions that have acquired fresh urgency since \u003ca href=\"http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/multimedia/timeline-edward-snowden-revelations.html\">revelations of National Security Agency surveillance\u003c/a>, especially collection of phone records, began surfacing last June. They wanted to know two main things, Mayer wrote: Is it easy to draw sensitive inferences from phone metadata? How often do people conduct sensitive matters by phone?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The researchers were surprised by their ability to draw inferences about such a large number of people and over such a short window of phone records.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We were motivated by the ongoing debate about this metadata held by the NSA and telecommunications companies and questions about under what conditions should this data be able to be looked at, analyzed, sold, aggregated and so on,” Mayer said. “Much of that debate depends on factual underpinnings, about what the privacy properties of this data look like. Patrick and I have been attempting to understand those privacy properties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayer said he and Mutchler succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in terms of the number and diversity of participants, who lived all over the country and came from various walks of life, with a mix of jobs and political perspectives. But he said the group was not statistically representative because volunteers had to have an Android phone and a Facebook account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was surprised, he said, by his ability to draw inferences about such a large number of people and over such a short window of phone records. By comparison, he said, the NSA appears to retain such records for about five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re able to draw these sorts of inferences, it’s strongly indicative of the government’s ability to draw sensitive inferences about large numbers of Americans,” Mayer said. “One of the great sources of concern here is that what used to take some significant shoe leather to infer now can be done in a very automated fashion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study starts out by mentioning that President Obama has stressed that the NSA is \"not looking at content,\" that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has said \"this is just metadata\" and that a judge dismissed potentially sensitive inferences as a \"parade of horribles.\" But then it cites opposing views by those worried about the privacy risks posed by metadata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as what effect the study might have, Mayer said, \"It's hard to predict. I'd imagine it might play some role in upcoming court battles. ... This sort of analysis might inform what the judiciary does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have the study's findings made him paranoid at all? \"If there were fixes, I'd certainly consider them,\" Mayer said. \"But this is the way phones work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he doesn't believe that the desire for privacy is a hopeless quest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a long time, the debate's been in the abstract,\" Mayer said. \"(For example), there's something that makes individuals feel uneasy. Or there's some data that's held by some entity that's untrustworthy. These views lack a certain rigor that is (essential) to gain substantial traction in policy circles. By changing the way we argue about privacy and making it a more rigorous debate about specific privacy risks — and quantifying those risks — I think there's lots of room for gain.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

These were simple inferences, about real phone users, that could trivially be made on a large scale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone interview, Mayer said: “One of the arguments that has cropped up again and again in the phone metadata privacy debate is, ‘What’s the big deal? It’s just phone numbers.’ And we thought, ‘OK, let’s take a look at how hard it is to take a phone number and map to it to an individual or business or professional service.' We found it was very, very easy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The participants contacted 33,688 unique numbers. Of those, 18 percent -- or 6,107 -- were identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'You Don't Need a Ph.D. to Figure This Out'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The computer scientists analyzed individual calls to numbers that could be deemed sensitive — anything a person might not want to be public, such as political or religious affiliation, health status, gun ownership or finances. They created 11 sensitive categories in the study, and then they analyzed patterns of calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One participant, for example, communicated with multiple local neurology groups, a specialty pharmacy, a rare-condition management service and a hotline for a pharmaceutical used only to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need a Ph.D. in computer science to figure out what’s going on there,” said Mayer, 27, who got a law degree from Stanford last year and now lives in San Francisco. He has been working on his doctorate for more than four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayer and Mutchler used the crowdsourced data to answer some questions that have acquired fresh urgency since \u003ca href=\"http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/multimedia/timeline-edward-snowden-revelations.html\">revelations of National Security Agency surveillance\u003c/a>, especially collection of phone records, began surfacing last June. They wanted to know two main things, Mayer wrote: Is it easy to draw sensitive inferences from phone metadata? How often do people conduct sensitive matters by phone?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The researchers were surprised by their ability to draw inferences about such a large number of people and over such a short window of phone records.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We were motivated by the ongoing debate about this metadata held by the NSA and telecommunications companies and questions about under what conditions should this data be able to be looked at, analyzed, sold, aggregated and so on,” Mayer said. “Much of that debate depends on factual underpinnings, about what the privacy properties of this data look like. Patrick and I have been attempting to understand those privacy properties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayer said he and Mutchler succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in terms of the number and diversity of participants, who lived all over the country and came from various walks of life, with a mix of jobs and political perspectives. But he said the group was not statistically representative because volunteers had to have an Android phone and a Facebook account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was surprised, he said, by his ability to draw inferences about such a large number of people and over such a short window of phone records. By comparison, he said, the NSA appears to retain such records for about five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re able to draw these sorts of inferences, it’s strongly indicative of the government’s ability to draw sensitive inferences about large numbers of Americans,” Mayer said. “One of the great sources of concern here is that what used to take some significant shoe leather to infer now can be done in a very automated fashion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study starts out by mentioning that President Obama has stressed that the NSA is \"not looking at content,\" that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has said \"this is just metadata\" and that a judge dismissed potentially sensitive inferences as a \"parade of horribles.\" But then it cites opposing views by those worried about the privacy risks posed by metadata.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as what effect the study might have, Mayer said, \"It's hard to predict. I'd imagine it might play some role in upcoming court battles. ... This sort of analysis might inform what the judiciary does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have the study's findings made him paranoid at all? \"If there were fixes, I'd certainly consider them,\" Mayer said. \"But this is the way phones work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he doesn't believe that the desire for privacy is a hopeless quest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a long time, the debate's been in the abstract,\" Mayer said. \"(For example), there's something that makes individuals feel uneasy. Or there's some data that's held by some entity that's untrustworthy. These views lack a certain rigor that is (essential) to gain substantial traction in policy circles. By changing the way we argue about privacy and making it a more rigorous debate about specific privacy risks — and quantifying those risks — I think there's lots of room for gain.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So simulation is a very important tool. We started doing simulations on molecules back in the late ‘60s, principally because it had become clear that molecules had very well-defined shapes.

Sweden's Karolinska Institute announced the prize early this morning for Randy Schekman of UC Berkeley, \u003ca href=\"http://neuroscience.stanford.edu/research/laboratories/SudhofLab.html\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Südhof \u003c/a>of Stanford and James Rothman of Yale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview this morning with KQED's Joshua Johnson, Schekman said he planned to use the award as a platform for calling attention to cuts in federal funding for basic scientific research. \"I think the biomedical enterprise in the U.S. is in considerable peril as a result of this federal paralysis,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Südhof and Schekman were informed of the award in early-morning phone calls. Before we get to that, here's what the Nobel Prize organization says about the research it's honoring today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The 2013 Nobel Prize honours three scientists who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system. Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules. For instance, insulin is manufactured and released into the blood and chemical signals called neurotransmitters are sent from one nerve cell to another. These molecules are transported around the cell in small packages called vesicles. The three Nobel Laureates have discovered the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time in the cell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Schekman discovered a set of genes that were required for vesicle traffic. James Rothman unravelled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo. Thomas Südhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through their discoveries, Rothman, Schekman and Südhof have revealed the exquisitely precise control system for the transport and delivery of cellular cargo. Disturbances in this system have deleterious effects and contribute to conditions such as neurological diseases, diabetes, and immunological disorders.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Schekman told us he got the call from Nobel officials at 1:30 this morning. When the phone rang, he said, \"My wife called out, 'This is it! This is it!' and I picked it up, and I was kind of shaking. And — but I heard a reassuring, Swedish accent on the other side, offering me congratulations and reassuring me that this was not a hoax call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's \u003ca href=\"http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2013/10/07/stanfordsthomas-sudhof-wins-2013-nobel-prize-in-medicine/\" target=\"_blank\">Scope science blog says\u003c/a> Südhof got the word while traveling overseas: \"So, where was Südhof when he got the big news? 'I got the call while I was driving [in Spain] and like a good citizen I pulled over and picked up the phone,' he told the Associated Press this morning. 'To be honest, I thought at first it was a joke. I have a lot of friends who might play these kinds of tricks.'\" Südhof, like Schekman, also \u003ca href=\"http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2013/october/nobel-sudhof.html\" target=\"_blank\">expressed surprise\u003c/a>: \"I'm absolutely surprised. Every scientist dreams of this. I didn't realize there was chance I would be awarded the prize. I am stunned and really happy. ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_24251685/nobel-prizes-this-week-5-breakthroughs-that-have\" target=\"_blank\">points out\u003c/a> that all three of today's winners have Stanford connections: \"Schekman earned his Ph.D. there, and Rothman's early research started on campus labs. Südhof is a current member of the faculty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Südhof and Schekman are also investigators with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.hhmi.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Howard Hughes Medical Institute\u003c/a>. UC Berkeley now \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeley.edu/news/features/nobel/\" target=\"_blank\">boasts\u003c/a> 23 Nobel laureates. Stanford is home to \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/nobel/\" target=\"_blank\">20 Nobel winners\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schekman said today that he had let his federal National Institutes of Health funding lapse since beginning work as a Hughes investigator. That means his research is not vulnerable to what he called \"the assault on the federal government and in particular the drastic cutbacks in funding at the level of the NIH.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schekman added that the United States is risking the loss of precious intellectual resources by pulling back on research funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have experience here at Berkeley, other institutions likewise, of foreign scholars who come here to set up shop, who are returning home as a result of what's going on in Washington,\" Schekman said. \"We're losing a generation of young scholars who are unwilling to fight this battle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schekman, Südhof and Rothman will split a prize of about $1.2 million.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/about/staff/joshua-johnson.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Joshua Johnson\u003c/a> of KQED News contributed to this report. \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Sweden's Karolinska Institute announced the prize early this morning for Randy Schekman of UC Berkeley, \u003ca href=\"http://neuroscience.stanford.edu/research/laboratories/SudhofLab.html\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Südhof \u003c/a>of Stanford and James Rothman of Yale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview this morning with KQED's Joshua Johnson, Schekman said he planned to use the award as a platform for calling attention to cuts in federal funding for basic scientific research. \"I think the biomedical enterprise in the U.S. is in considerable peril as a result of this federal paralysis,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Südhof and Schekman were informed of the award in early-morning phone calls. Before we get to that, here's what the Nobel Prize organization says about the research it's honoring today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The 2013 Nobel Prize honours three scientists who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system. Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules. For instance, insulin is manufactured and released into the blood and chemical signals called neurotransmitters are sent from one nerve cell to another. These molecules are transported around the cell in small packages called vesicles. The three Nobel Laureates have discovered the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time in the cell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Schekman discovered a set of genes that were required for vesicle traffic. James Rothman unravelled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo. Thomas Südhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through their discoveries, Rothman, Schekman and Südhof have revealed the exquisitely precise control system for the transport and delivery of cellular cargo. Disturbances in this system have deleterious effects and contribute to conditions such as neurological diseases, diabetes, and immunological disorders.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Schekman told us he got the call from Nobel officials at 1:30 this morning. When the phone rang, he said, \"My wife called out, 'This is it! This is it!' and I picked it up, and I was kind of shaking. And — but I heard a reassuring, Swedish accent on the other side, offering me congratulations and reassuring me that this was not a hoax call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's \u003ca href=\"http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2013/10/07/stanfordsthomas-sudhof-wins-2013-nobel-prize-in-medicine/\" target=\"_blank\">Scope science blog says\u003c/a> Südhof got the word while traveling overseas: \"So, where was Südhof when he got the big news? 'I got the call while I was driving [in Spain] and like a good citizen I pulled over and picked up the phone,' he told the Associated Press this morning. 'To be honest, I thought at first it was a joke. I have a lot of friends who might play these kinds of tricks.'\" Südhof, like Schekman, also \u003ca href=\"http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2013/october/nobel-sudhof.html\" target=\"_blank\">expressed surprise\u003c/a>: \"I'm absolutely surprised. Every scientist dreams of this. I didn't realize there was chance I would be awarded the prize. I am stunned and really happy. ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(AP) — Andrew Luck, Toby Gerhart and coach Jim Harbaugh started Stanford's improbable football renaissance, yet they never stood in the center of the Rose Bowl with the West Coast's most coveted trophy raised above their heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/stanford-logo.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/stanford-logo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"stanford logo\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-84442\">\u003c/a>In fact, the last Stanford team to do what the Cardinal did Tuesday night had a defense known as the Thunderchickens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forty years after Stanford's last Rose Bowl victory, the favored Cardinal lived up to the legacy created by Luck, Harbaugh and every Thunderchicken that came before them by winning the bowl game that matters most to any Pac-12 team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepfan Taylor rushed for an early touchdown, Kevin Hogan passed for 123 yards and No. 8 Stanford's defense shut out the Badgers in the second half of a 20-14 victory in the 99th Rose Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had heard that 1972 was our last win,\" said Hogan, the freshman quarterback who won Stanford's last five games. \"It's been too long since we've had one at The Farm. It's a great feeling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of slipping back off the college football map when their biggest names graduate to NFL glory, the Cardinal (12-2) have just kept getting better under coach David Shaw. After winning the Orange Bowl two years ago and losing the Fiesta Bowl in overtime last season, Stanford followed up with its first conference title and its first trip to the Granddaddy of Them All in 13 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's unique combination of brains and brawn was too much for its opponents during eight straight wins to close the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've been in BCS games the past two years, but neither of those mean as much as this one did,\" said Zach Ertz, the tight end who had three catches for 61 yards. \"This is the one we play for every year. It shows Stanford is here to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Usua Amanam capped the defensive performance with an interception that stopped Wisconsin's final drive at midfield with 2:30 to play in a grind-it-out game. Stanford allowed the Badgers just 82 yards and four first downs after halftime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a sense of accomplishment, because we got somewhere we hadn't been yet,\" said linebacker Shayne Skov, who made eight tackles while leading Stanford's second-half shutout. \"If you looked at our goals at the beginning of the season, this was on top of the list, and we got it done. We're extremely satisfied.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cardinal finished with 12 victories for just the second time in school history — and the second time in the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford clamped down on the Big Ten champion Badgers (8-6), who lost the Rose Bowl in heartbreaking fashion for the third consecutive season. Montee Ball rushed for 100 yards and his FBS-record 83rd touchdown, but Wisconsin couldn't score after the final seconds of the first half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an impressive defense of its own, Wisconsin stayed in position for an upset in the one-game return of Hall of Fame coach Barry Alvarez, who was back on the Badgers' sideline in his red sweater-vest seven years after hanging up his whistle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This group of kids has been through a lot, and they competed extremely hard against a very high-quality team,\" said Alvarez, who nearly pulled off a stunner while bridging the gap between coaches Bret Bielema and Gary Andersen. \"We've played three very good football games (at the Rose Bowl). These guys played hard. In fact, most people would like to get here once. But we just didn't get it done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelsey Young took his only carry 16 yards for a score on Stanford's opening possession, and Taylor scored on the second drive after a big catch by Ertz. Wisconsin kept the Cardinal out of the end zone for the final 51 minutes, holding them to three points in the second half, but Stanford's defense didn't need any more help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bielema abruptly left Wisconsin for Arkansas after winning the Big Ten title game, Alvarez agreed to coach his fourth Rose Bowl before handing off his program to Andersen, who met with Alvarez on the field before the game. But the Badgers' third consecutive January in Pasadena ended in much the same way as the last two: With the offense failing to get the late score the Badgers desperately needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This stings just as much, because we fell extremely short when we had the opportunity to win,\" Ball said. \"We had numerous opportunities to capitalize on big plays, and we fell short. ... This is not the way we want to be remembered. Speaking for the entire senior group, this is not the way we wanted to go out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curt Phillips went 10 for 16 for 83 yards passing and that crucial interception for Wisconsin, doing more with 64 yards on the ground. Jordan Fredrick caught his first career TD pass right before halftime, but no Badgers receiver had more than Jared Abbrederis' three catches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And though Ball became the first player to score touchdowns in three Rose Bowls, the powerful back fell short of Ron Dayne's career Rose Bowl rushing record, swarmed under by waves of tacklers from one of the toughest defenses in the nation — a defense that shut down the top-ranked Ducks in mid-November to pave Stanford's path to Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wisconsin became the first five-loss team to make the Rose Bowl by steamrolling Nebraska in the conference title game, becoming the first Big Ten team in three straight Rose Bowls since Michigan in the late 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Rose Bowl filled with fans wearing the schools' near-identical cardinal-and-white gear, Stanford went up 14-0 on Taylor's 3-yard TD run just 8½ minutes in. Wisconsin briefly got rolling behind Ball, who rushed for 296 yards in his first two Rose Bowls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford stopped James White inside the 1 on fourth down early in the second quarter, but Ball scored on the next drive. The Badgers then mounted an 85-yard drive in the waning minutes of the first half ending with Fredrick's short TD catch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a scoreless third quarter, Wisconsin's personal foul on a fair-catch punt return finally sparked the Cardinal early in the fourth.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forty years after Stanford's last Rose Bowl victory, the favored Cardinal lived up to the legacy created by Luck, Harbaugh and every Thunderchicken that came before them by winning the bowl game that matters most to any Pac-12 team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepfan Taylor rushed for an early touchdown, Kevin Hogan passed for 123 yards and No. 8 Stanford's defense shut out the Badgers in the second half of a 20-14 victory in the 99th Rose Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had heard that 1972 was our last win,\" said Hogan, the freshman quarterback who won Stanford's last five games. \"It's been too long since we've had one at The Farm. It's a great feeling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of slipping back off the college football map when their biggest names graduate to NFL glory, the Cardinal (12-2) have just kept getting better under coach David Shaw. After winning the Orange Bowl two years ago and losing the Fiesta Bowl in overtime last season, Stanford followed up with its first conference title and its first trip to the Granddaddy of Them All in 13 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's unique combination of brains and brawn was too much for its opponents during eight straight wins to close the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've been in BCS games the past two years, but neither of those mean as much as this one did,\" said Zach Ertz, the tight end who had three catches for 61 yards. \"This is the one we play for every year. It shows Stanford is here to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Usua Amanam capped the defensive performance with an interception that stopped Wisconsin's final drive at midfield with 2:30 to play in a grind-it-out game. Stanford allowed the Badgers just 82 yards and four first downs after halftime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a sense of accomplishment, because we got somewhere we hadn't been yet,\" said linebacker Shayne Skov, who made eight tackles while leading Stanford's second-half shutout. \"If you looked at our goals at the beginning of the season, this was on top of the list, and we got it done. We're extremely satisfied.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cardinal finished with 12 victories for just the second time in school history — and the second time in the last three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford clamped down on the Big Ten champion Badgers (8-6), who lost the Rose Bowl in heartbreaking fashion for the third consecutive season. Montee Ball rushed for 100 yards and his FBS-record 83rd touchdown, but Wisconsin couldn't score after the final seconds of the first half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an impressive defense of its own, Wisconsin stayed in position for an upset in the one-game return of Hall of Fame coach Barry Alvarez, who was back on the Badgers' sideline in his red sweater-vest seven years after hanging up his whistle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This group of kids has been through a lot, and they competed extremely hard against a very high-quality team,\" said Alvarez, who nearly pulled off a stunner while bridging the gap between coaches Bret Bielema and Gary Andersen. \"We've played three very good football games (at the Rose Bowl). These guys played hard. In fact, most people would like to get here once. But we just didn't get it done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelsey Young took his only carry 16 yards for a score on Stanford's opening possession, and Taylor scored on the second drive after a big catch by Ertz. Wisconsin kept the Cardinal out of the end zone for the final 51 minutes, holding them to three points in the second half, but Stanford's defense didn't need any more help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bielema abruptly left Wisconsin for Arkansas after winning the Big Ten title game, Alvarez agreed to coach his fourth Rose Bowl before handing off his program to Andersen, who met with Alvarez on the field before the game. But the Badgers' third consecutive January in Pasadena ended in much the same way as the last two: With the offense failing to get the late score the Badgers desperately needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This stings just as much, because we fell extremely short when we had the opportunity to win,\" Ball said. \"We had numerous opportunities to capitalize on big plays, and we fell short. ... This is not the way we want to be remembered. Speaking for the entire senior group, this is not the way we wanted to go out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curt Phillips went 10 for 16 for 83 yards passing and that crucial interception for Wisconsin, doing more with 64 yards on the ground. Jordan Fredrick caught his first career TD pass right before halftime, but no Badgers receiver had more than Jared Abbrederis' three catches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And though Ball became the first player to score touchdowns in three Rose Bowls, the powerful back fell short of Ron Dayne's career Rose Bowl rushing record, swarmed under by waves of tacklers from one of the toughest defenses in the nation — a defense that shut down the top-ranked Ducks in mid-November to pave Stanford's path to Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wisconsin became the first five-loss team to make the Rose Bowl by steamrolling Nebraska in the conference title game, becoming the first Big Ten team in three straight Rose Bowls since Michigan in the late 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Rose Bowl filled with fans wearing the schools' near-identical cardinal-and-white gear, Stanford went up 14-0 on Taylor's 3-yard TD run just 8½ minutes in. Wisconsin briefly got rolling behind Ball, who rushed for 296 yards in his first two Rose Bowls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford stopped James White inside the 1 on fourth down early in the second quarter, but Ball scored on the next drive. The Badgers then mounted an 85-yard drive in the waning minutes of the first half ending with Fredrick's short TD catch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a scoreless third quarter, Wisconsin's personal foul on a fair-catch punt return finally sparked the Cardinal early in the fourth. Stanford got inside the Wisconsin 5 before stalling, and Jordan Williamson's short field goal put the Cardinal up by six points with 4:23 to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Badgers got to midfield, but Phillips threw behind Jacob Pedersen, and Amanam easily made the pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here's an edited transcript of the interview: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's your take on high-speed rail?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will not die, it's impossible to kill it. The state is going to lose money but construction firms are going to make a great deal of money, land developers around these stations if they ever complete them are going to make money. The governor stands to gain real political capital if they can spend 2 billion in federal dollars to improve employment -- the state needs jobs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would be better to dig a very big hole and fill it up again because that won't cost you anything in the future. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-term danger is that you're going to create a white elephant in the San Joaquin Valley, which is essentially a line we have no need for and in fact there's no funding currently to put trains on it. It's never going to be able to sustain itself and the state is going to have to pour good money after bad. The plan now is to make it an Amtrak line, not high-speed rail. To spend $2 billion to do that is frankly ridiculous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think it's just the wrong time to build a high-speed rail system or is it the wrong thing period?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have no objection to high-speed rail routes. You can make a good case for them between Boston and DC. The problem with this one is California is a state that is failing to fund its university system and failing to fund K-12 education. I was in LA last weekend, with infrastructure breaking down right and left. So to propose spending $100 billion on this is frankly ridiculous. Sometime in the future, if you can afford to fund it and make a good public case for doing so, I wouldn’t necessarily oppose it. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proponents say people like you are ignoring the cost of not building the system, because we have to accommodate projected population growth. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will high-speed rail do? It's not going to take pressure off the roads that are most congested. This is a proposal to shuttle people up and down the San Joaquin Valley, between SF and LA, with some stops in between. They've left out Sacramento and San Diego already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I don't think it's going to be able to compete with airline routes. We have fairly efficient airline transportation between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. I don't see really what good this is going to do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But we can't expand Bay Area airports, and flights are often delayed. Those problems aren't going to go away.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You don’t think there will be delays on train routes? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're talking 30 years from now to complete it. So this will not do us any good in the short or medium term. Then you have to maintain it. The proponents act like if you build something incrementally you will not have to continue to pour money into it. But you have to make sure the rails don't deteriorate, and that the beds don't deteriorate, that storms don’t damage it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can't afford to build major infrastructure projects and just have them sit there and deteriorate until you're ready to use them. It's much cheaper to build them when you use them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what would the right time look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Californians are ready to get onto trains. Which they're not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be built after you take care of the low-hanging fruit. Why not regional transports around SF and LA, projects that will get people off the freeways where they're the most crowded? I-5 is not pleasant, but I wouldn't say that it is our major problem in California transportation and that's all this is going to fix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, this does nothing about trucks. What railways have been good for is freight. That's what we should be getting off the road. I don’t see passengers as the real problem. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But how can you expect people to want to ride trains if there aren't any trains to ride? Shouldn't California provide an environmentally responsible infrastructure, then encourage people to use it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anything you paint green in California is going to get you to support it. Many of my colleagues are shocked I'm against high-speed rail. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the University of Berkeley looked at what happens to the Obama proposal to build high-speed rail across the U.S., and their analysis indicates a one-percent carbon savings. We couldn’t spend that money more effectively to reduce carbon? What you're falling for is something that looks flashy and people in France and Japan like it. But that's not the best bang for the buck to get serious about fighting global warming. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think is the difference between America as opposed to Japan and France, where high-speed rail has been successful? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you take a high-speed rail train in France, from Paris to Lyon, you've got an infrastructure of public transportation that gets you to the rail station on time, and when you get off you can simply get on public transportation after. The same goes for Kyoto and Tokyo.\u003cbr>\nThat's not true of SF and LA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are building a high-speed rail network without the public transportation at either end of it. You need that because after the high-speed rail ride, people will have to get back in the car and drive a great deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French and Japanese governments subsidize the fares. We have under Prop 1A agreed not to subsidize fares. Those governments also regulate their rail very heavily. We do not have such a great record of giving subsidies and getting public benefits back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you go from history professor to high-speed rail critic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reacted to the parallel that's strong between high-speed rail and the transcontinental railroads. Those railroads were about 30 years premature; they did not make money and the US government had to sue the Central Pacific and Union Pacific in the 1890s to get the money loaned to them back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case there's seemingly a bar to that happening – California high-speed rail has written into it that there will be no subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's imagine we have this thing built and no private capital is coming in. What prevents the state from going back to the legislature to say \"we need a subsidy to attract private capital?\" It will do what all these subsidies do –- guarantee private investors that there will be no risk for their investment. The public will get the risk; the private investors will get the benefit. And I can't imagine how this will attract private capital without going back to the legislature and guaranteeing the subsidy we promised we wouldn't. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What drew me out of history is listening to President Obama and other figures justifying this project as a parallel to the transcontinental railroads. I realized they were right -– this was a parallel, and why would we want to make that mistake again?

Here's an edited transcript of the interview: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's your take on high-speed rail?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will not die, it's impossible to kill it. The state is going to lose money but construction firms are going to make a great deal of money, land developers around these stations if they ever complete them are going to make money. The governor stands to gain real political capital if they can spend 2 billion in federal dollars to improve employment -- the state needs jobs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would be better to dig a very big hole and fill it up again because that won't cost you anything in the future. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-term danger is that you're going to create a white elephant in the San Joaquin Valley, which is essentially a line we have no need for and in fact there's no funding currently to put trains on it. It's never going to be able to sustain itself and the state is going to have to pour good money after bad. The plan now is to make it an Amtrak line, not high-speed rail. To spend $2 billion to do that is frankly ridiculous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think it's just the wrong time to build a high-speed rail system or is it the wrong thing period?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have no objection to high-speed rail routes. You can make a good case for them between Boston and DC. The problem with this one is California is a state that is failing to fund its university system and failing to fund K-12 education. I was in LA last weekend, with infrastructure breaking down right and left. So to propose spending $100 billion on this is frankly ridiculous. Sometime in the future, if you can afford to fund it and make a good public case for doing so, I wouldn’t necessarily oppose it. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proponents say people like you are ignoring the cost of not building the system, because we have to accommodate projected population growth. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will high-speed rail do? It's not going to take pressure off the roads that are most congested. This is a proposal to shuttle people up and down the San Joaquin Valley, between SF and LA, with some stops in between. They've left out Sacramento and San Diego already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I don't think it's going to be able to compete with airline routes. We have fairly efficient airline transportation between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. I don't see really what good this is going to do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But we can't expand Bay Area airports, and flights are often delayed. Those problems aren't going to go away.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You don’t think there will be delays on train routes? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're talking 30 years from now to complete it. So this will not do us any good in the short or medium term. Then you have to maintain it. The proponents act like if you build something incrementally you will not have to continue to pour money into it. But you have to make sure the rails don't deteriorate, and that the beds don't deteriorate, that storms don’t damage it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can't afford to build major infrastructure projects and just have them sit there and deteriorate until you're ready to use them. It's much cheaper to build them when you use them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what would the right time look like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Californians are ready to get onto trains. Which they're not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be built after you take care of the low-hanging fruit. Why not regional transports around SF and LA, projects that will get people off the freeways where they're the most crowded? I-5 is not pleasant, but I wouldn't say that it is our major problem in California transportation and that's all this is going to fix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, this does nothing about trucks. What railways have been good for is freight. That's what we should be getting off the road. I don’t see passengers as the real problem. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But how can you expect people to want to ride trains if there aren't any trains to ride? Shouldn't California provide an environmentally responsible infrastructure, then encourage people to use it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anything you paint green in California is going to get you to support it. Many of my colleagues are shocked I'm against high-speed rail. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the University of Berkeley looked at what happens to the Obama proposal to build high-speed rail across the U.S., and their analysis indicates a one-percent carbon savings. We couldn’t spend that money more effectively to reduce carbon? What you're falling for is something that looks flashy and people in France and Japan like it. But that's not the best bang for the buck to get serious about fighting global warming. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think is the difference between America as opposed to Japan and France, where high-speed rail has been successful? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you take a high-speed rail train in France, from Paris to Lyon, you've got an infrastructure of public transportation that gets you to the rail station on time, and when you get off you can simply get on public transportation after. The same goes for Kyoto and Tokyo.\u003cbr>\nThat's not true of SF and LA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are building a high-speed rail network without the public transportation at either end of it. You need that because after the high-speed rail ride, people will have to get back in the car and drive a great deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French and Japanese governments subsidize the fares. We have under Prop 1A agreed not to subsidize fares. Those governments also regulate their rail very heavily. We do not have such a great record of giving subsidies and getting public benefits back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you go from history professor to high-speed rail critic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reacted to the parallel that's strong between high-speed rail and the transcontinental railroads. Those railroads were about 30 years premature; they did not make money and the US government had to sue the Central Pacific and Union Pacific in the 1890s to get the money loaned to them back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case there's seemingly a bar to that happening – California high-speed rail has written into it that there will be no subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's imagine we have this thing built and no private capital is coming in. What prevents the state from going back to the legislature to say \"we need a subsidy to attract private capital?\" It will do what all these subsidies do –- guarantee private investors that there will be no risk for their investment. The public will get the risk; the private investors will get the benefit. And I can't imagine how this will attract private capital without going back to the legislature and guaranteeing the subsidy we promised we wouldn't. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What drew me out of history is listening to President Obama and other figures justifying this project as a parallel to the transcontinental railroads. I realized they were right -– this was a parallel, and why would we want to make that mistake again? That's what made me write the first op-ed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In California we seem to have this idea that we can take on huge projects, that we're almost our own country. Is that changing? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, look at the big infrastructure projects that have worked in California. The interstate highway system: They had a dedicated revenue source to pay for that, plus a gas tax. The dams have subsidized major agricultural interests -- in a very unfair way, I think -- but at the same time, they built in a revenue source to pay for it, because dams produce power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-speed rail says it will have a revenue source with the passengers paying the fare, but that's laughable. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks fares are going to pay for this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you exhaust the federal money and the rest of this has to be paid for by bonds, you will pay huge interest. We only have a small part of the cost funded so far. They're making up a world in which the federal government will give us more money and the counties and cities will contribute money and then private investment will come in at low interest and absorb the risk. But we'll absorb the risk; they'll take the profit, leaving us with the debt. This is a recipe for catastrophe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proponents would say you're making the perfect the enemy of the good.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm making the good be the enemy of the impossible. If they could demonstrate that we need these lines where we're going to build them and there was any hope of paying for them I'd cut them some slack. But they've oversold this line so many times I think any California in their right mind would be extremely skeptical of anything the high-speed rail commission says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You say there's no good public transportation in California, even in a city like San Francisco.
