This new play by Canadian playwright and artistic director Arthur Milner may be of interest to you and your listeners. http://factstheplay.ca/?p=190

Thanks for sharing, John. This is important and I realize
Thanks for sharing, John. This is important and I realize that even if a full list is available one name won't capture the headlines. Readers won't know a person but a mass. I'll be sure to share.
In the meantime, here's the lead on the New York Times home page:
Hamas Frees Israeli Soldier as Prisoner Swap Begins
By ETHAN BRONNER and STEPHEN FARRELL 27 minutes ago
Gilad Shalit, held for more than five years by Hamas, was traded on Tuesday for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails in an exchange that could shake up regional politics.

Nor do we know the names of all those who were murdered
Nor do we know the names of all those who were murdered by the Palestinian prisoners who are being freed. Gilad was not a murderer.

Hi Tru. I don't know how to address your statement. I'm
Hi Tru. I don't know how to address your statement. I'm thinking about the responsibility of humanizing the people involved. When I read about an exchange of prisoners but only one name is repeatedly used in the headlines, it feels discriminate and unbalanced. Reporting on the actions of all sides is part of the story, but which story and at what cost of subjectivity. Not including those people is one-sided, non?

I agree that more western coverage should be given to
I agree that more western coverage should be given to those who were freed. But I ask this... along with their names tell why they were in prison and be honest about it. Were they just walking down the street and detained for no reason or did they just try and blow someone up? How much coverage will there be about that? If they were detained for no reason then expose it. But tell the truth either way. Another thing... how were these people treated in jail... and how was he? Will you report that? How many prisoners have Hamas released unharmed ... do they kill captives? how many have the Israelis released unharmed... do they kill captives? ... will you ask these questions? will you answer them? Honestly?

I agree. There are a whole host of questions for follow
I agree. There are a whole host of questions for follow-up reporting. In this moment though, the headlines have been one-sided and identified one man — setting aside the individuality of the thousand other prisoners. I'd like for more people to be humanized in telling about this exchange.

I think the one-sided attention (I agree) has been given
I think the one-sided attention (I agree) has been given to Gilad due to the excruciating efforts of the entire Israeli people in constantly campaigning for his release. Every single Israeli, abroad and at home, knows Gilad Shalit by his first name, his parents, his story, his hometown. This is only due to the people's dedication and determination to bring him home--- and the importance of the individual lives of young Israeli soldiers in Israeli society. The numbers of the deal only reflect that value of society. The government was willing to give up 1,027 Palestinian prisoners (many convicted for heinous crimes that killed scores of innocent civilians) for one soldier.

Thanks for your views on this, Maia. Please know that my
Thanks for your views on this, Maia. Please know that my reflection isn't a call for less attention to Gilad Shalit or efforts to bring him home, but the equanimity of coverage in an exchange of prisoners.

Maia, your statement "The numbers of the deal only
Maia, your statement "The numbers of the deal only reflect that value of society"-- if meant the way I read it-- speaks to Trent's point. The 'one' has value for me and mine, the many 'others' are just that, 'other' and thus a faceless mass. Because no one looks good in all of this on going imbroglio (other than through massive spin) it is pointless to claim high moral ground. All parties are guilty, to a greater or lesser degree, of sins of commission and ommission. I think we could all do better at looking at these problems by invoking the old Native American proverb "Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins". To do that we have to do what is so deeply a part of our own culture, namely to look at the individual. To Trent's point, we, without referring to anybody else, are not doing that. That is an act of omission.

The prisoners should be written about; however, this
The prisoners should be written about; however, this author seems very naive in somehow idealizing the Palestinian prisoners who were freed. From my understanding, most of these prisoners were responsible for serious terrorist acts such as the Sbarro bombing in Jerusalem. They were not minor criminals. I have found a lot of information about the prisoners in reading news articles online, and many of the articles only wrote about the Palestinians, so I think it really depends on the news source. The Palestinian prisoners were imprisoned with respect for basic human rights. They look well fed, but Shalit was imprisoned underground without sunlight or respect for basic human rights. He looked very unhealthy and frail. In reading about the prisoners who were freed, it does not seem this will necessarily be a step towards peace. Many of the prisoners seemed unrepentant, and hopefully, they will not return to their old ways.

It isn't as if the names aren't out there to be found -
It isn't as if the names aren't out there to be found - Hamas published them four days ago. (see www.haaretz.com, October 14).

We would also do well to remember A J Heschel's
We would also do well to remember A J Heschel's admonition that " The fate of mankind depends upon the realization that the distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, is superior to all other distinctions"
Preventing adequate medical treatment and Red cross visits from Gilad was wrong and evil, to make no mention of torture & terrorist attacks on innocent civilians..

Again, platitudes. You are right, a basic, accepted
Again, platitudes. You are right, a basic, accepted standard of international law was not adhered to. That was wrong. But two wrongs do not make a right. I cheer that this Israeli young man appears relatively healthy and hope that the emotional scars that he is sure to have are mitigated by the love and support his family are giving him. I hope, too, that the families of the nameless Palestinians can also help heal their trauma and wounds. Terrorist attacks on civilians in that neck of the woods really took hold from July 22, 1946 on, lest we forget.

Yes, that's the date the Israelis blew up the hotel used
Yes, that's the date the Israelis blew up the hotel used by the British who had prevented many Jews from reaching Israel, forcing their return to the nazi death machine. The terrorist attacks the "took hold" were and are perpetrated by Arabs against Jews. That's the long and the short of it. Israel has no death penalty, has executed one man, the mass murderer Eichman for his crimes against Jews and all humanity. If they had committed their crimes in Saudi Arabia or Bahrain or Egypt or Iran or some other hellhole the prisoners would not have been available to be exchanged, they would be dead.

Calling the bombing of the King David Hotel a terrorist
Calling the bombing of the King David Hotel a terrorist attack is disingenuous. Terrorist attacks are--by definitition--attacks on civilian targets. The King David Hotel was the headquarters of the British Forces in the Mandate and was therefore a military target. Furthermore, the Irgun telephoned the King David Hotel 25 minutes prior to the explosion so as to warn all personel to evacuate the facility. The goal of the attack was to destroy a military facility, not to destory lives. That the British ignored the warning is the real terror of the event.

You want a name? Here's a name - Amna Muna, a female
You want a name? Here's a name - Amna Muna, a female prisoner who lured 16-year-old Ofir Rahum to Ramallah where he was murdered in 2001.
I'm sure Ms. Muna's mother loves her.
You may not know their names, but you know their deeds - blowing up school buses filled with children, blowing up restaurants filled with adults, and blowing up families sitting down to dinner. Not to mention knifings, shootings and more.
You want names? here are some names:
Ibrahim Hamed: Shin Bet attributes the murder of 90 Israelis to Hamed; among other attacks, he was responsible for three attacks in Jerusalem - at Café Moment, the Hebrew University and in Zion Square. He is also behind several shooting attacks across the West Bank.
Abdullah Barghouti: Another key name on the newly released list, Barghouti is Hamed's partner. Barghouti constructed the devices which were used in the attacks on the Sheffield Club in Rishon Letzion, at the Hebrew University, Café Moment, Zion Square, and in Tel Aviv's deadly Bus 5 suicide bombing. In 2004, Barghouti was convicted of the murder of 66 Israelis.
Mohammad Arman: Another accomplice of Hamed and Barghouti, Arman enlisted the Silwan terror squad that executed the bombings themselves, briefed them, and supplied them with bombs.
Hassan Salameh: Salameh was convicted of initiating twin simultaneous attacks in an Ashkelon bus station and on bus number 18 in Jerusalem. A week later, he was responsible for another attack on another bus 18. He was convicted for the murders of 46 Israelis.
Salameh has been in solitary confinement since his arrest. He is considered to be a revered figure in Gaza, and one of the founders of Hamas' military wing.
Ahmed Saadat: The secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Saadat's activities include ordering the murder of former Israeli minister Rehavam Ze'evi.
In the meantime, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutog is calling these acts "alleged crimes". I wonder what HIS mother thinks?

In fact I did see a report in mainstream media containing
In fact I did see a report in mainstream media containing the name and photo of a just-released Palestinian prisoner, already in Damascus, looking stout, healthy, well-fed, celebrating "victory" and promising increased violence against Israel with hamas leader Khaled Meschal. Contrast his conditionwith that of Shalit - thin, pale, looking like he will need dental work. Compare the Israeli public reaction "Thank God he's home" - with the threats of violence and more kidnappings from the other side. If you don't get it, it's because you don't want to.

Objectives: To quantify the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and incident HIV infection in women in the Rakai Community Cohort Study between 2000 and 2009.
Design and methods: Data were from the Rakai Community Cohort Study annual surveys between 2000 and 2009. Longitudinal data analysis was used to estimate the adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of incident HIV associated with IPV in sexually active women aged 15–49 years, using a multivariable Poisson regression model with random effects. The population attributable fraction was calculated. Putative mediators were assessed using Baron and Kenny's criteria and the Sobel–Goodman test.
Results: Women who had ever experienced IPV had an adjusted IRR of incident HIV infection of 1.55 (95% CI 1.25–1.94, P = 0.000), compared with women who had never experienced IPV. Risk of HIV infection tended to be greater for longer duration of IPV exposure and for women exposed to more severe and more frequent IPV. The adjusted population attributable fraction of incident HIV attributable to IPV was 22.2% (95% CI 12.5–30.4). There was no evidence that either condom use or number of sex partners in the past year mediated the relationship between IPV and HIV.
Conclusion: IPV is associated with incident HIV infection in a population-based cohort in Uganda, although the adjusted population attributable fraction is modest. The prevention of IPV should be a public health priority, and could contribute to HIV prevention.

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.
Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.
Listen to An Interview with Author Jack Weatherford.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2005 Jack Weatherford (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
"With appreciative descriptions of the sometimes tender tyrant, this chronicle supplies just enough personal and world history to satisfy any reader." (Publishers Weekly)
"There is very little time for reading in my new job. But of the few books I've read, my favourite is Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. It's a fascinating book portraying Genghis Khan in a totally new light. It shows that he was a great secular leader, among other things." (Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India)
"Weatherford's admiration for Genghis and his firsthand knowledge of many of the sites important in Mongol history give this text an immediacy and a visual quality that are enhanced by Davis's presentation. When the narrative begins to lag in its final hour or two as it moves farther from the twelfth century, Davis's crisp pace maintains the listener's interest to the end. An informative and provocative work of popular history." (AudioFile)
"Brilliant, insightful, intriguing."
What a comprehensive and fascinating detailed history of the great Khans. Weatherford's mastery as a researcher is on full display and is truly up to the task of investigating and sharing the incredible evidence he witnessed being uncovered. The performance is also brilliant. Just to hear the reader pronounce so many names which are difficult to pronounce and read in English with so much confidence, clarity, precision and consistency is worth the price of admission alone. To me this book is a high water mark for its combination of content, performance and new information. Its an instant classic highly recommended. Flawless.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
Western histories tend to avoid this bit - this book fixes that big time. It is a history, but with about as much characterization as is possible. It is filled with details and I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in history. The story is filled with action and intrigue, technology and religion, war and even a little peace. It is more than just the novelty that makes this a wonderful listen, it is the story and the characters.
"A passionate, eye-opening chunk of history"
The writer, Weatherford, is not what you'd call a great prose stylist, but the story he tells is stunning, and he did all the leg-work. His heart is in it. If you want to know how the modern world was born, listen to this.
Davis' narration is thrilling. Loved it all.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"A Classic"
Tolerant, wise, enlightened, brilliant outside of war... hardly adjectives to describe the historical figure we have come to know as Genghis Khan. Yet this is only the surface of the positive attributes described by Jack Weatherford. Genghis Khan was one who lived in the 12th century but had so much to contribute to the modern world it is really quite unbelievable. Genghis Khan's people came from within tribes to successfully govern over and administer to a land-mass of cities, states and countries greater than no other in history.
I was brought up on black and white TV watching cowboys and Indians. Like everyone else of my generation, we were taught the Indians were savage and barbaric... not too unlike what we are taught about the Mongolian people. Perhaps there have been others but this was my first read revisionist history to lend some balance about another tribe of People who have been so long persecuted even to this day.
For me the book had just enough about the military campaigns to reveal that aspect of of Genghis Kahn without overshadowing all of his contributions and what exactly the entire world was like back then. The book is so relevant for today's world. This is a book about history, literature, religion, philosophy and of course cultural anthropology. The balance of all things in this book were exquisite.
For me this was an incredible book, scholarly written and beautifully narrated.

"Golden Horde/Platinum Listen"
Universal free education. Widespread literacy. Secular government. Freedom of religion. Ambassadors from other countries. Translators and interpreters. Diplomatic immunity. A consumer-driven economy. Free trade agreements. Huge technological advances in communications. Paper money based on precious metals and gem reserves. Pensions for military veterans, and lifelong benefits for survivors of those killed in action. Support for scholars. Doctors and lawyers. Laws that applied equally to the rulers as well as the ruled. A Supreme Court. Meticulous record keeping, using complex mathematics and calculators. Multiculturalism. An empire bigger than North and Central America, combined.
The Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan and his grandson, Kubla Khan - and lesser known Great Khans - was astonishingly advanced, especially in contrast to Europe, which at the time, was mired in futile attempts - The Crusades - to 'free' the Holy Lands from Muslims.
I knew that Genghis Khan was an innovative military leader who both invented and eschewed conventional warfare. Genghis Khan created the "decimal" system of soldiers of 10 soldiers to a 'squad', which is still used in modern military. A 'company' was 10 squads; a battalion was 10 'companies' . . . and so on. The term "decimal" is author Jack Weatherford's term; the other terms are mine, analogizing to modern military organizational structure. At the same time, Genghis Khan used innovative military weapons - including gun powder - and improved on existing weapons. His tactics - like waging war on multiple fronts, feinting defeat, and skilled infiltrators - are common today, but unique 900 years ago. Psychological warfare was a key part of Genghis Khan's military success - he encouraged stories of Mongol brutality and ruthlessness to encourage surrender.
Until I listened to Weatherford's "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" (2004), I had no idea who Genghis Khan was, beyond his military skill. I spent a good part of the book wondering why, with advanced courses in European, Chinese and Russian history, I had essentially missed a crucial empire. In the Afterward, I found out: I am too old.
During China's Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) a Chinese/Mongolian version of "The Secret History of the Mongols" (~1240, author unknown) was used to teach Chinese scholars the Mongolian language. It gradually stopped being used, and by the 19th century, there were very few copies. The first definitive English translation was Harvard-Yenching Institute's translation (Francis Woodman Cleaves, 1982). Urgunge Onon's 2001 translation is much more readable. Both are scholarly, often cited works. From 1924 to 1990, the Soviet Union controlled Mongolia and did its best to eradicate evidence of other civilizations, and kept the rest of the world from the country. Exactly who Genghis Khan was, how the Mongol Empire started, and how it thrived was hidden for almost 700 years.
Weatherford's "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" opened a new civilization and a new perspective for me. Definitely worth the listen.

"Stunning News! Great story."
It is hard to believe that we were taught so little about such a major part of our worlds history. I guess that can be partly attributed to the fear that the powers had of even the story of such a man as Genghis Khan. I loved every minute of this book. It reads more like a novel than history. I hope that this will filter down into our education system as it is important to know the hands that shaped our world into what it is today. Genghis Khan was one of the most influential of those hands. Excellent book. Highly recommended.
I listen to audiobooks commuting to and from work and until Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World never had listened to one that actually kept me in the car for longer than necessary. I'd be idling for extended time while it got later and later listening to this incredible work.
The narration is great and the story is spellbinding. I bought the book on a whim and have no regrets.
The first half is much better than the second half, but I enjoyed the story immensely from start to finish and highly recommend.
"Superb History"
This book was extremely interesting and informative. It filled in the missing gaps of my personal history knowledge. The style is fluid and easy to follow and the reader has a very pleasant and soothing voice.
Fantastic read or listen. Highly recommend.
I got this audiobook because it won a best listen award and I figured, what did I have to lose? I was not disappointed. I am now a self-proclaimed Ghengis Kahn-aphile. It was a fantastic gym/work/commute listen. I have recommended it to pretty much anyone who will listen to me ramble on about how much of what we have accomplished and take for granted in our modern world actually originated centuries ago from the vision, actions, and genius of one (what we would call uneducated) man. I have even downloaded this audiobook to my dad's iPod, for which as far as I'm concerned, is the reason we have iPods. It's not every day you come across something that changes and enlightens your perspective of the world you live in and I thank Mr. Weatherford for compiling this compelling biography of this mysterious man. I think I may press play and listen to it again right now.
"Forget what you've been taught in the past!"
I am not a big reader of history, but this caught my eye, and I was not disappointed. The audiobook is a little bit hard to follow, in terms of the large amount of information and its organization. So, it isn't a casual, or bedtime, read (listen). That said, I would include this in my short, "must listen" list since it is such a stereotype busting book. It will change your perception of the past with lessons that clearly apply to today's world. For me it ranks up there with Sun Tzu's Art of War -- albeit a much more engaging read.
"Amazing! Wonderful! Couldn't get enough!"
I stumbled onto this one by chance, and quickly grew to love it -- who'd ever know that much about the Mongols and how they changed the world? Years of research have gone into this book, and it shows. The 'Secret History', an original Mongol document about Gengis Khan's life, only became available for researchers quite recently, so there is now a wealth of brand new information. Many surprises, many really astonishing facts are waiting for the listener! The prose is at the right pace, not patronizing, not too scientific. One can also feel how much the author simply loves Mongolia... Good reader too. I simply couldn't get enough and was thirsting for more when it was over. I am now going to read his other books...
"Liked it so much I didn't want it to end"
I actually already did start to listen to it again. This book is so packed full of interesting stories and information, I found it hard to retain them all from one listen.
I never thought a history book would keep me so entertained and interested. This one certainely did, the story of Gengis Kahn and his sucessors is told so well it almost reads like a novel. I loved the way this book changed my understanding of world history, illustrating the impact of the mongol empire on the world.
Despite being packed with historical information, place names, dates and significant people, this book does not read like a history book at all. The story flows incredibly well and keeps you coming back for more. The reader has a voice that is very nice to listen to, becomes noticable when the reader changes for the afteroword.
I wouldn't say "moved" but I did get excited about this book and recommended it to friends and family.
The ultimate measure of a non-fiction book must be if it changes the way you think and see the world. This one absolutely changed my understanding of history.
"A book that fully illustrates the power of history"
This is fascinating interpretation of the history of the Mongol empire and it's Khans, particularly Genghis Khan and their influence, direct or otherwise, to the modern world, and long overdue recognition of its contribution to the modern western world.
This, to me, illustrates the importance of history, and how from it we learn to understand more of what we have now, and could have in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing the world from a different perspective.
"simply amazing"
I thought I knew something about the Mongol Empire. I was wrong. This book has shown me the richness of the legacy of an empire that changed the course of all of world history in infinite ways but of which my education has taught me next to nothing. I am incredibly thankful for having come across this book.
"An excellent history."
Starting and focusing on the life of Genghis Khan this book manages to give a insightful look at the rise and eventual fall of the mongol empire founded by Genghis Khan.
"Good but only half of it useful"
I bought this book wanting to learn about Genghis Khan. Unfortunately only the first half of the book discusses him and the second part is about Kubel Khan and other leaders. I was disappointed the first half was not longer as this is what I wanted to read about. I feel this is not made clear in the book description.
"Serendipity is a builder of history."
Avery interesting book with many interesting facts, and ideas, at the very end it showed the author a little too enamored with the nationalistic ideas of a mongolian empire, but it is explainable as a found respect for a people that have been maligned by history and politicians to a point that is quite surprising but understandable in a world where nationalism is the norm and for the most part the imparter of truth for the masses. This book ask us to wake up and burst the bubble of our culture, join the multiverse, the rich tapestry of human history.
A story that adds to what is generally known and changes what is accepted by giving a new perspective.
We learn history in sectional bits, and always as presented by the nation and culture we belong to, so as we read and learn we segment sets of ideas and ideologies of a time and place as unique examples, especially if we do not read a lot or let others explain history with a decided coloration of their point of view, this is why it is important to explore different angles of a period to get a glimpse of past that is less colored by the ideas of one person, past periods or the period you live in; morals and beliefs are not permanent or historically kind to the truth, they are tinted lenses that hide facts to promote their point, because we all live in a reality and culture that it is constantly trying to submerge us in its momentary truth.
Many people have become absolute history masochist and blame all wrongs in the world to our western culture as if all other cultures had no consequence except as victims of our history; in reality we are but a small part of human history and our place in that history is not assured or permanent. We learn more of our history because that is the natural way to connect us to our culture, customs and laws, and because we are a culture that examines and is self critically we tend to amplify our importance and guilt, as this book will plainly demonstrate. With lessons in what an amazing people achieved with limited technology, and how time and politics have distorted their culture and history to a point of near oblivion.
Some of their developments are still with us but silenced by time and the negation of their importance by other cultures and political interest, like the interest of the soviet union and now russia a power that has no scruples in protecting and creating a narrative convenient to its needs, by suppressing the history of the Mongols to this day, or china that has similar interest politically and historically. Also the very success of the this people of the plains still instigates a bit of fear. They subjugated Muslims, christians, buddhist, and animist while expanding in all directions, their methods of war are still relevant, and so should it be with their intense promotion of commerce among different peoples and cultures.
Genghis Khan was but a beginning for a Mongol expansion that lasted through generations with all the ups and downs of human made plans, but maintaining enough momentum to rule a great chunk of the world.
A non apologetic look at an empire that changed the world and is still influencing the present.
"The best book I may have ever read."
Jack Weatherford actually makes you feel like you are there, unseen as you witness history unfold. I didn't know we owe so much of our modern culture and way of thinking to the Mongals. Such a terrific story. I'm quite sad now that I've finished the book.
"Great book"
I really did not know much about Genghis Khan and this book was brilliant in teaching me something. The narrator was so impressive. It is one of the best books that I have listened to.
An eye opening history. Contrary to the popular mythology Genghis Khan succeeded through marshalling trade, multiculturalism and meritocracy. His attitudes to social justice, law and religious freedom put his contemporary Christian 'civilisations' to shame.

Katherine LaVelle Q&A: Bankings' return-to-work schemes
Financial News this week reported on the return-to-work programmes being offered at Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Merrill Lynch .
Katherine LaVelle, who leads the talent and organisation practice for financial services at Accenture, tells FN that such schemes are set to expand in the industry and could be an important tool in increasing female representation in banking.
Financial News: What are the advantages that banks get out of running return-to-work schemes, like the Returnship Program at Goldman Sachs?
Katherine LaVelle: The advantages are huge. First, employers get a known commodity; former employees with proven track records of success and strong cultural fit.
Second, the employer gains the cost savings of bypassing significant time and effort spent typically training new hires on the company, its businesses, the culture, and their role. While banks spend anywhere from three to six weeks on induction training, they estimate a two to three year period before professional employees are highly productive. Bringing back mid-level to senior employees means those populations hit the ground running, enabling them to learn a new role quickly and gain productivity much faster than the average new hire, given they have the basics behind them.
Third, banks gain a great deal of goodwill by taking a leap of faith to offer such programmes and return valuable employees to work – an advantage not to be underestimated in an era where banks are often maligned as the 'big bad wolf'.
FN: Would more similar programmes in the financial services sector help increase female representation in the industry, especially at a senior level?
KL: It can't hurt. These programmes are ideal for people, both men and women, who have stepped out of the workforce for a few years, for a variety of reasons. In banking, this population is more frequently women than men so it stands to reason that "returnship" programmes could be an important tool in increasing female representation in banking.
That said, the banking industry evolves and changes quickly, especially given recent step-changes in the regulatory environment. So even with a 10-week training period (or longer), it's unlikely that top, c-level talent would come from such programmes since those positions require executives with their pulse on the industry and a recent track record of success in this highly tumultuous industry. I see such programmes as being critical for restoring mid-level talent, typically up to managing director level.
FN: Have you noticed increased interest and activity from the industry in the return-to-work schemes recently?
KL: While these programmes have received recent attention in the media and public domain, many investment banks have been employing such programmes since 2009, when the economy recovered and banks needed to acquire talent quickly. They've largely been successful so we're now seeing expansion into other business units and geographies for many of these companies. I would expect this trend to continue.

Renowned writer, editor and bastion of fabulousness, André Leon Talley recently opened a gallery bearing his name at the Savannah College of Art and Design's new museum. ALT has long known how to make an entrance and his debut exhibition, "High Style," was no exception. There were lust worthy pieces from all the fashion names you know by heart and, of course, a long, effortlessly glamorous sequined wrap dress from DVF.
Here, Inside DVF catches up with ALT on the opening, what's next, and why Beyond Diva black is the new black.
Inside DVF: In the Vogue piece, you describe how Diana Vreeland taught you how to create a narrative and diorama; a fictional moment through clothes. Can you describe the story you were hoping to tell with the opening?
André Leon Talley: I decided to create the narrative, in the abstract, of course, with these beautiful evening clothes by Oscar de la Renta (a great friend of DVF and yours truly), Miuccia Prada, Tom Ford, Zac Posen, and Karl Lagerfeld's incredible Franz Xavier Winterhalter-inspired strapless.
The finale powder room scene at the Casino Roof, in George Cukor's classic comedy, The Women, was my inspiration for the entire exhibit. It is a film I must have watched up to fifty times, on my plasma screen. It is the sum total of Adrian's brilliance in the Golden Age, of Hollywood Design. In fact, the first show I ever volunteered and worked under the direction of Diana Vreeland, was Romantic and Glamorous Hollywood Design: 1974.
I wanted every single designer who had come to SCAD to be dramatically in the realm of the glamorous room, with all the gorgeous mirrored furniture and a great portrait of Lady Strickland, by Sir Peter Lely, painted in 1659. He was a court painter and Lady Strickland is wearing a duchess satin dress, the fabric of couture.
DVF: Was there a process by which you chose the dresses to be included, or was it an emotional response "yes" or "no" to pieces you considered? Was there anything you fought particularly hard to include?
ALT: Well, the Karl Lagerfeld, that was a dress in the closet of my great friend, the art patron, Sao Schlumberger. I went to so many fittings at Chanel with Sao when I lived in Paris, so this was a special moment for me. How did that dress get to SCAD from Sao's closet? Before she died, she sold it to Lily Et Cie, the vintage emporium on Burton Way in Los Angeles. I rang up my friend, Pat Altschul who bought it, had it altered to fit her measurements, and we went to the Chanel exhibit, in 2005, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was only fitting.
DVF: What drew you to the DVF black sequined wrap dress?
ALT: I had a choice of a DVF glamazon wrap in sequins in three colors, dazzling blue, Hollywood platinum gold, and BD black. That's Beyond Diva black. After a discussion with DVF by telephone from her country retreat, we both felt black would be the instant classic and pop in the gallery. We were right. It's so outstanding.
DVF: DVF is big on mantras. Do you have any favorite words to live by? Fashion or otherwise?
ALT: When I wake up in the morning, I think Live in Love, and the zones all come together.
DVF: What's next?
ALT: President Paula Wallace is so thrilled with the success of "High Style" that she has already approved my next exhibit, which goes up early 2012, LBD, or the Little Black Dress. Expect the unexpected!

Want a job?
Nearly 25 years ago, three friends fresh out of college made a life-defining decision together. Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink determined they would achieve lives of meaning and purpose, forging their own road, following their own path.
When their creative impulses led them to develop a bald and blue character they called Blue Man (to evoke the word Human), more than a few people raised eyebrows. Undeterred, the partners invested their time and resources into following this curious character into a small theatre in New York City. What transpired was a groundbreaking performance that left audiences moved and inspired. Unprecedented theatrical success complete with accolades, awards and genre-jumping opportunities followed.
Blue Man Productions is a now global entertainment company best known for the award-winning Blue Man Group show, performed in 15 countries and seen by more than 35 million people worldwide since 1991. A dynamic combination of music, comedy and technology, the show appeals to a broad range of age groups and cultural backgrounds. It is continually refreshed with new music, new stories, new instruments and new technology. Blue Man Group has permanent theatrical productions in Las Vegas, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, New York and Berlin, and a North/South American Tour.
This creative collective is part of the pop culture zeitgeist. Beyond the stage show, they have toured the globe with the "Megastar World Tour" rock concert parody, produced 5 albums, and contributed to numerous film scores. They've served as the face of branding campaigns for Intel and TIM/Brasil and appeared countless times on shows like "The Tonight Show", "Arrested Development", "Ellen", Schaag-den-Raab (Germany), WOWOW (Japan), and Calderão (Brasil).
Still artist-owned and operated and based in NYC, Blue Man Productions has extensive production facilities, recording studios and a 6,000 square foot R&D Lab with numerous new creative projects in the pipeline.

On June 28, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed this act establishing the Civilian Conservation Corps. This New Deal program combined the President's desire to employ young, jobless men with his longstanding interest in conservation. By the time the program ended in 1942, approximately 3 million men had worked on projects in the nation's public forests and parks.

For years, John Ashcroft, as Missouri's attorney general, relentlessly fought efforts by others in the community to forge a resolution to the problem of segregation in St. Louis schools. He strenuously resisted efforts to shape a voluntary desegregation plan, filing appeal after appeal, and earning scathing criticism from observers and leaders in the community. Ashcroft's tactics were likened to the "massive resistance" employed by virulent segregationists during the early days of the civil rights movement. Many religious leaders, including the St. Louis Archbishop, united in opposition to Ashcroft's rheteoric and tactics on desegregation. Newspapers and commentators around the state regularly and roundly denounced him. Perhaps the most stinging rebuke of all came from the federal court in ruling against Ashcroft's attempts to block payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees in the case on the grounds that they were excessive. The judge wrote, "If it were not for the State of Missouri and its feckless appeals, perhaps none of us would be here today."
In 1982, Attorney General Ashcroft's office represented the state in a criminal appeal brought by a convicted burglar and rapist. On appeal, the defendant, an African American, argued that certain prospective jurors, all white, should have been stricken from the jury because of their responses to a question asking "How many people here over the past two years . . . heard a black man referred to as something other than a negro? . . . A nigger, a coon, or some other name... How many people have not? . . . Have not referred to a member of the negro race, black man, by another name." On appeal, in a brief bearing Attorney General Ashcroft's name and that of one Assistant Attorney General, the state correctly pointed out that the question asked of the prospective jurors was ambiguous, in that it combined a person's both having "heard" or "used" racial slurs. However, the state's brief did not stop there. Instead, it went on to assert: "Moreover, the mere use of another term for black or negro is not necessarily indicative of racial bias."
During the 1970s , women's rights advocates were engaged in a nationwide effort to secure ratification of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which Congress had passed in 1972. In 1977, with the ratification deadline approaching, the National Organization for Women helped to organize a boycott to persuade organizations not to hold their conventions in those states, including Missouri, that had not ratified the ERA. In early 1978, Ashcroft, as the Attorney General of Missouri, brought a federal lawsuit on behalf of the state against N.O.W., claiming that the organization had violated a federal antitrust law prohibiting restraint of trade. Ashcroft's unsuccessful lawsuit could have stifled NOW's First Amendment rights.

Sell Coinstar, It Can't Beat Netflix
The four companies that matter most -- Apple (AAPL) , Amazon.com (AMZN) , Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) -- aren't even there, though Steve Ballmer made an appearance last night. Beyond sex, drugs, strippers and rock-n-roll, what's the point of even putting this thing on?
Save cash and hold CES at your Southern Nevada Best Buy (BBY) . People can just as easily browse items most consumers will never buy in more familiar surroundings.
The CES spectacle highlights a problem happening across broad and often-intersecting spaces such as tech and media. There's very little innovation or, forget innovation, just game-changing news happening where it matters -- on the ground.
Consider Verizon (VZ) , one of the companies that actually matters.
Verizon is at CES showing off stuff large numbers of people will use -- Internet-connected auto technology and mobile Web services. Excellent, even if expected long before the end of the decade by most consumers. However, I'll never understand why such a strong company deals with Coinstar (CSTR) .
Coinstar couldn't be any less inspiring. Yet, Verizon just rolled out the unimaginative Redbox Instant with these guys.
Like them or not, Netflix (NFLX) pioneered third-party streaming. There's no use getting into the business unless you have a hook and massive core revenue to subsidize streaming. You're not going to beat Netflix. Best-case scenario -- you get buried in the same grave.
Reed Hastings sketched the unwritten future of a mass transition from DVDs to streaming. While I don't agree with how he executed -- premature and without selling the DVD unit -- you have to give him credit for taking a brave leap. If it doesn't work out, Hastings might have regrets, but he'll have nothing to be ashamed of.
Ultimately successful or not, most companies that enter the space have halfway decent reasons. But not Coinstar. They're playing follow the leader. Verizon, for whatever reason, plays the role of enabler.
Amazon uses streaming to rope consumers into its larger ecosystem. Google drives advertising revenue. Big companies such as Sony (SNE) can put out relatively weak platforms such as Crackle because they own a considerable amount of content. Or, like Comcast (CMCSA) with Streampix, they have large enough arsenals to subsidize ventures that super-serve their core customer.
That's what AT&T (T) will do with its new streaming complement to U-Verse television. Same goes for Verizon vis-a-vis Redbox and FIOS.
You do not lose much if you're in the cable business and you add value to a traditional subscriber's package with streaming. This strategy will not hurt Verizon. If it fails, Verizon walks away, hardly wiping sweat from between its toes. Small potatoes.

School Meals
As the largest humanitarian provider of school meals worldwide, the World Food Programme ( WFP), along with governments and partners, supports education, reduces malnutrition, and promotes development, especially during times of crises and emergencies.
Nearly all countries around the world have a school meals programme and about 368 million children from kindergarten to secondary school receive food at school every day. Governments recognise school meals as an essential tool for the development and growth of children, communities, and society as a whole.
WFP provides school meals to more than 20 million children every year. But many more children do not benefit from school meals, and in countries with the highest poverty rates where school meals would make a big difference, the reach of school meal programmes is far smaller.
In WFP's efforts to create a world where educational and nutritional opportunities reach the hungry poor, schools are critical. It's where we lay the foundation for future generations to grow and thrive.
What is School Meals?
School programmes include meals for students and high-energy biscuits or snacks at schools where a crisis or emergency has struck. WFP also provides take-home rations to families with children who attend school regularly.
What are the Benefits?
A meal at school acts as a magnet to get children into the classroom. Continuing to provide a daily meal to children helps to keep them in school. The benefits of school meals extend beyond the classroom:
- Safety Nets: School meals help families to educate their children and protect their food security in times of crisis. School meals support development so children can become healthy and productive adults, breaking the cycle of hunger and poverty in the world's most vulnerable areas.
- Nutrition: In poor countries, school meals are often the only regular and nutritious meal a child receives. They are an investment in the child's future. Without them, hunger and micronutrient deficiencies can cause irreversible damage to their growing bodies. When school meals are combined with deworming and micronutrient fortification, especially when tailored to specific nutritional needs - such as those for adolescent girls - that investment is multiplied.
- Education: A daily school meal provides a strong incentive to send children to school and keep them there. It allows children to focus on their studies rather than their stomachs and helps to increase school enrollment and attendance, decrease drop-out rates, and improve cognitive abilities. Programmes can be tailored to provide take-home rations to target girls in areas where there is a gender gap.
- Local Agriculture: As often as possible, food is bought locally, which benefits local farmers and the whole community while enhancing the sustainability of the programme.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (23 votes).
In short: Well organised but a muddy courseIn full: I last ran a race at Nonsuch Park in October when conditions were in total contrast to the Perch XV. Despite the incremental weather the race was incredibly well marshalled at every twist or turn in the course and in other parts directional flags had been placed at regular intervals. As commented elsewhere the exceptionally wet seasonal weather had made the off-road parts of the route extremely muddy making it difficult to run at a sensible pace. Fortunately for me I was able to go immediately after the event for a shower at the adjacent David Lloyd complex.Date of review: January 31, 2014
In short: So muddy it was dangerous, sadlyIn full: First time I've had a marshall call out 'well held'! Staying upright was a challenge. I don't have special shoes for these conditions and with the benefit of hindsight shouldn't have run - there is someothing very wrong with my right knee now :( Generally, though, the Perch is a good, well organised race that I have run more than any other. But if it's similar conditions next year, I won't be there at the start!Date of review: January 28, 2014
In short: Mud, mud, glorious mud!In full: Exceptionally wet and muddy this morning, making it slow and slippery. I haven't enjoyed a race so much for ages! Interesting two lap course around Nonsuch Park, thanks to the brilliant marshalls for standing around in the rain. This was my first Perch but certainly won't be my last!Date of review: January 26, 2014
In short: very very muddy runIn full: did this for the first time last year and pretty dry and fast but this year....the night after the thaw and everywhere was either mud or semi-swamp but at least the run went ahead and the trail trainers got a good test. Marshals friendly, organisation good and atmosphere excellent. Date of review: January 30, 2013
In short: Mud!In full: Lot's of mud, but a great atmosphere and a lovely scenic course.Date of review: January 28, 2013
In short: To muddy today just happy to get round in one piece, no pbDate of review: January 27, 2013
In short: Great organisation and a very nice race, just a tad muddy!!!Date of review: January 27, 2013
In short: Great course and organisationDate of review: January 27, 2013
In short: A scenic and well organised cross country race.In full: Very well organised with friendly marshalls and a good start/finish hub. Great to be handed a technical tshirt at the end...can never have enough quality tshirts! See you next year Epsom Oddballs!Date of review: February 1, 2012
In short: Tough, challenging and worth doingIn full: Great t shirt rewarded the pain of uphill and downhill muddy slides. Varying terrain gives us tarmac runners a shock but in a good way. Well organised if a little short - my Nike GPS said 9.4km and my husband's Garmin 9.8.Date of review: January 31, 2012

Tupper town board to hold two hearings today
TUPPER LAKE – The town board will hold two hearings today starting at 4 p.m.
The first public hearing will be on the town's fire protection agreement with the village.
The agreement, which runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, has the town paying $122,722.62 to the village for the Tupper Lake Volunteer Fire Department to provide fire protection to people outside the village limits.
Last year, the town paid $121,107, and it paid $141,019 the year before, according to village Clerk Mary Casagrain.
The village and town still need to finalize an agreement for 2014 as the village works on ironing out its 2013-14 budget. The village's fiscal year starts June 1.
The second hearing will deal with the town's proposal to share the costs of a new grinder pump in Sewer District 23 with the Zande family. Matt Zande's family owns property in the district that he wants to build a house on, but it doesn't currently have a grinder pump on it. He has asked the town to pay for the equipment.
The town is proposing two options: The district will not cover the expense at all, or it will pay for the grinder pump and all the equipment associated with it, and the Zandes will be responsible for paying a contractor to install it.
The board will make a final decision on the topic, but board members said they wanted to give residents of District 23, which covers mainly the Lake Simond and Moody road areas, a chance to express their opinions on the topic.
The public hearings will begin at 4 p.m. in the lower level of the town hall at 79 Demars Blvd., and the board's regular meeting will follow.

The president of Fujitsu said in an interview that now there is zero chance that the company's hard disk drive (HDD) business would be sold to Western Digital. Although the unit is believed to be losing money, WD is unlikely to offer proper price due to strong Japanese Yen.
"I won't deny that we have had talks with Western Digital. But at the moment, there is zero chance of a deal," said Fujitsu President Kuniaki Nozoe in an interview with Japanese Nikkei news-paper, reports Reuters news-agency.
Back in October '08 Western Digital was rumored to be planning to acquire Fujitsu's HDD business unit along with plants in Japan, the Philippines and Thailand for ¥70 billion to ¥100 billion, which was from US$661 million to US$944 million at the time. At present, the actual price of Fujitsu's HDD business unit would be from US$775.6 million to US$1.108 billion, which is considerably higher. However, it is claimed that WD turned down the offering to acquire the hard drive unit even for ¥50 billion (about US$554 million).
Recently Western Digital said that that as a result of softer demand for its products it would have to take a series of actions in order to reduce its operating costs. Among those actions, WD will have to cut down production of hard drives as well as headcount and also lower capital spending.
"In the current macro economic climate, we expect demand weakness to last well into the middle of the 2009 calendar year. Consequently, we are taking additional steps to immediately reduce production capacity and operating expenses on a longer-term basis across our entire business as we approach the seasonally weaker second half of our fiscal year," said president and chief executive officer of WD John Coyne at the time.
WD did not comment on its talks with Fujitsu.
"We are taking these actions in order to strengthen our financial position and enhance the ability of our business to withstand an extended period of depressed demand while continuing to invest in the technologies, products and processes required to assure the continued success of our business," Mr. Coyne added.

Chicken and Rice Casserole
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
- 1 cup medium-grain white rice
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced dill havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and about three-quarters of the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, chicken, rice, tomato, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; stir to combine.
Whisk the chicken broth and sour cream in a bowl, pour into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in half each of the havarti and parmesan. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, transfer to the oven and bake until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Turn on the broiler. Uncover the skillet and sprinkle with the remaining havarti and parmesan, then broil until golden, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions.

Don't Panic, Buy Smart with Deere and Navistar
Although no one can predict for sure whether this selloff will get worse before it gets better, our senior colleague and the honorary President of "Cramerica", the "Baron of Booyah," Jim Cramer, shared with us Thursday some reasons why mindless selling at this point is not a sound idea . His five-point thesis is as follows:
1. We are very, very oversold and people are getting very negative. We all accept that we are going down and many are taking action.
2. Many stocks will be impacted when we go over the fiscal cliff. Notice I said "when" because unless politicians rise above, we are going over it. But other stocks, international stocks with bases here that sell soft goods that make them buyers of commodities, will do well and they need to be bought into the weakness.
3. Everything in the end gets discounted, meaning that we can adjust to anything and when we get there any new negatives won't mean much. But a new positive or a deal will send us soaring.
4. The new taxes and spending cuts, while draconian, will not be the end of the world for the big secular growth stories out there, including health and wellness, as well the desire for a bargain.
5. Plenty of companies have the power to raise dividends to where even the after-tax the returns are far superior to bonds.
These make good sense to me, and I've been an investor and financial researcher for going on four decades, which is amazing since I'm only 49 years old (OK, I'm shaving off a few years, but Jim's five points are rock solid).
Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements.
Apparently there are some prominent company insiders who see this market correction in a positive light and have been using it to purchase even more shares of the companies they direct.
Take Navistar International (NAV) for example, which by coincidence has a symbol which is used as an abbreviation for the term "net asset value." Does NAV have some locked up NAV waiting to be unveiled?
It's clear this leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses, RVs, defense vehicles and engines, which is selling closer to its 52-week low of $18.17, has some wealthy insiders and activists who think its shares are well worth owning.

Report: Apple's Steve Jobs Received Liver Transplant and is Recovering
Jason Mick
June 20, 2009 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple observers noticed that CEO Steve Jobs' health dramatically decreased in 2008. Mr. Jobs reportedly has received a liver transplant and is currently recovering, eagerly awaiting a return to Apple at the month's end.
(Source: WSJ)
Apple's CEO and cofounder hopes to put his health problems behind him
Founding one of tech industry's biggest players -- Apple -- and personally turning the company around in the late nineties was nothing compared to the challenge that Apple CEO Steve Jobs faced in 2004. Battling a rare and deadly form of pancreatic cancer, Mr. Jobs recovered thanks to surgery and reassumed his leadership role at the company, integrally helping to conceive, develop and release hit products such as the iPhone and MacBook Air.
Last year, though, many observers took note that Mr. Jobs looked sickly at public appearances. Sure enough, in January of this year he took
medical leave
, announcing he would be gone from Apple on medical leave until the end of June. In his absence Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook took over many of the day to day duties.
Now details of Mr. Jobs' medical battle, veiled in secrecy, have at last emerged. According to a
by the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Jobs received a liver transplant in Tennessee two months ago. Mr. Jobs had earlier this year had relocated from California to Tennessee, a state known for having a shorter waiting list for organ transplants. At the time
had reported that Mr. Jobs was applying for a liver transplant.
Apple spokespeople contacted by the
to seek confirmation of the sourced reports refused to comment, merely reiterating that Apple "continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there's nothing further to say." According to the
report, COO Cook may take over additional roles to help Mr. Jobs during his recovery.
Earlier this year it was discovered that Mr. Jobs was receiving hormone therapy. Reportedly he was unable to digest food properly and receive nutrients. The liver is an integral part of hormone production, and also produces bile, needed for digestion. The liver is very sensitive to toxins, and can be damaged by chemotherapy, which Mr. Jobs likely received during his cancer treatment.
Liver transplant recipients have a 58 percent chance of surviving 15 years. Liver transplants have been performed since 1967; the liver was the second organ to be successfully transplanted, with the kidneys being the first.
Mr. Jobs is currently 54. Apple fans are eagerly awaiting
his return
, as he has always pushed the company and given it a
creative spark
. Apple released its latest hot offering -- the iPhone 3G S --
this Friday
. Apple also announced new MacBook Pros, detailed its new OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and revealed Quicktime X. Speculation has already begun that the company is preparing a major refresh to its iPod lineup for the fall.
"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
