  • 2017Chicago Transit Authority a Horse Drawn Omnibus, Originally Operated by the Citizen’S Line Circa 1853, Is Displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake
    HISTORICAL CALENDAR 2017Chicago Transit Authority A horse drawn omnibus, originally operated by the Citizen’s Line circa 1853, is displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake. These early transit vehicles were quite primitive, barely just a notch above stagecoaches – little more than hard, wooden bench seats were provided on either side of very sparsely appointed coaches, with no heat, light, or other amenities. It is hard to believe that, from such humble beginnings, Chicago would one day have the second largest public transit system in North America, as it does today.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Garniss Curtis, dated July 29, 2002. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Comments of the National Consumers League and Sports Fans Coalition to the Federal Trade Commission Regarding
    Comments of the National Consumers League and Sports Fans Coalition to the Federal Trade Commission regarding: “Online Event Ticket Workshop” December 5, 2018 1 Executive Summary In January 2010, when Ticketmaster and Live Nation merged, the Department of Justice (DOJ) antitrust chief Christine Varney justified the DOJ’s settlement by stating that remedies required by the merger would promote “robust competition” that would “benefit consumers.”1 Nearly nine years since Varney made those statements, live event fans are right to wonder “where are those promised benefits?” Unfortunately, the gains promised by the DOJ have failed to materialize, and the live event marketplace remains rigged against consumers. The DOJ estimated that Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger would increase the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI)2 to more than 6,900, astronomically higher than the 1,800 HHI at which the DOJ’s and Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) Horizontal Merger Guidelines consider a market to be “highly concentrated.”3 Nonetheless, the deal was given the green light. Since 2010, no new competitive entrants have emerged as significant competitors to Ticketmaster in the primary live event ticketing market. Ticketmaster continues to dominate both the primary and secondary ticket markets and the combined entity routinely engages in anti-competitive behavior that has harmful downstream effects on consumers. As the industry’s dominant primary ticketer, Ticketmaster’s restrictive ticketing policies artificially depress supply, leading to higher-than-normal ticket prices on both the primary and secondary markets. Ticketmaster’s embrace of non-transferable ticketing practices (also known as “paperless tickets”) creates a burden for consumers limiting the ability for fans to transfer, give-away, or resell the tickets they have rightfully purchased.

  • Cross-Domain Recommendations Based on Semantically-Enhanced User Web Behavior
    Cross-domain Recommendations based on semantically-enhanced User Web Behavior Julia Hoxha Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr. Ing.) von der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Wirtschaftswissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts fur¨ Technologie (KIT) genehmigte Dissertation von M.Sc. Julia Hoxha Referent: Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer, Karlsruher Institut fur¨ Technologie Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Ricardo Bazea-Yates, Universitat Pompeu Fabra Tag der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 28.05.2014 Karlsruhe, 2014 ii Preface The enormous quantity of information in the Web vastly outstrips humans’ capa- bility to survey it, making it increasingly difficult for users to find the relevant information they seek. An alternative approach to information seeking, besides search engines where an explicit query has to be formulated, is to surf the Web by following appropriate links and interacting with the available Web pages. This is often challenging since people are not always able to determine the links that are most likely to lead to the required information or most relevant Web resources. The task becomes more difficult when we consider that users’ interests span over various domains and independent Web sites. Information seeking can be facilitated by recommender systems that guide the users in a personalized manner to relevant resources in the large space of the possible options in the Web. This work inves- tigates how to model people’s Web behavior at multiple sites and learn to predict future preferences, in order to generate relevant cross-domain recommendations. This thesis contributes with novel techniques for building cross-domain recom- mender systems in an open Web setting. First, we introduce a formal model of user browsing behavior, which is able to capture contextualized knowledge of Web resource through a set of semantic enrichment techniques.
