---Altruism---
Everyone comes to the table with some amount of "altruistic
capital," a stock of intrinsic desire to serve, says
professor Nava Ashraf in HBS Working Knowledge. Her
research includes study of what best motivates hairdressers
in Zambia to provide HIV/AIDS education in their salons.

---Resolutions---
It's a new year, that time when people strive to make, and
keep, resolutions. Job Journal says most of them will fail
for one simple reason -- unreasonable goals. For best
results, focus on realistic, reachable objectives.

---Sports---
Sports Central previews Super Bowl XLVII. Both Super Bowl
teams are pretty healthy right now. It would be nice if
that made less difference, if it was just the best teams and
not those with the fewest injuries. Heaven help us if Roger
Goodell forces through an 18-game schedule.
