...away at Steve Madden, manager Francesca Ruggiero lamented that the store hadn't even sold $4000 worth of footwear by 9 a.m., even though it had opened at 6 a.m., an hour earlier than last year. Next door, Victoria's Secret manager Linda Petar told TIME, "We're on target," although by 8:45 a.m. the shop had sold less than $80,000 worth of merchandise toward its goal of $650,000 for the day.

...Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and Director of Building Infrastructure and Operations Jay M. Phillips, who heads the FAS emissions reduction program. Phillips provided information on FAS’ efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent below 2006 levels by 2016, a Harvard-wide target adopted by University President Drew G. Faust this July. Currently, FAS emits 94,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, according to Phillips.
