Former Citigroup CEO Admits 'only 25 percent of needed changes have been enacted.'
“We continue to listen to the same people whose errors in judgment were central to the problem,” said John Reed, 71, a former co-chief executive officer of Citigroup Inc., who estimated only 25 percent of needed changes have been enacted. “I’m astounded because we basically dropped the world’s biggest economy because of an error in bank management.

Vegas By The Sea?
"Does that mean Florida is destined to become the next Nevada? Gambling is indeed expanding in the Sunshine State. The poker change came on the heels of a deal struck between the legislature and the Seminoles to give the tribe exclusive rights, for five years, to spread blackjack to most of its seven reservations — an arrangement that guarantees the recession-ravaged state at least $1 billion in revenue. Higher stakes poker rooms are now sprouting up, not just at Indian casinos but also at more traditional Florida gambling sites like dog tracks, jai alai frontons and thoroughbred horse tracks called "racinos." Although the sites still often set buy-in maximums, the poker games these days can sometimes require a minimum bet of $50 and produce pots reaching the tens of thousands of dollars."

What To Avoid For A Strong Resume or Linkedin Profile?
"If you're like the majority of LinkedIn users, the words "motivated," "team player," and "innovative" probably appear in your profile. According to a report put out by the business social networking site, these are some of the most-used terms on the profiles of LinkedIn's 85 million users.
These terms are so overused and general they may have lost their impact, said DJ Patil, LinkedIn's chief data scientist and the lead on the report.
LinkedIn's analytics team drew up a list of 40 common professional buzzwords and then ranked them in order of frequency on member profiles."

For UBS bankers, a head-to-toe style guide as precise as a Swiss watch
"The Swiss banking giant UBS has released a dress code that mandates fingernail length, when women should apply perfume, and even the quality of a banker's underwear.
A new UBS dress code that was published in the Swiss media – and picked up today in France to great amusement in Paris – outlines dozens of pages of personal appearance management that's more fine-tuned than a Swiss watch.
The regulations designate a 1.5 millimeter maximum fingernail length for men, suggests that female bankers wear makeup and put on perfume directly after showering and not after lunch, advocates that shoes be changed daily to bring greater levels of “peace and serenity,” and mandates employee underwear that is skin-toned and “always made of superior quality textiles."

A Secretive Banking Elite Rules Trading in Derivatives
By LOUISE STORY
On the third Wednesday of every month, the nine members of an elite Wall Street society gather in Midtown Manhattan.
The men share a common goal: to protect the interests of big banks in the vast market for derivatives, one of the most profitable — and controversial — fields in finance. They also share a common secret: The details of their meetings, even their identities, have been strictly confidential.
Drawn from giants like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the bankers form a powerful committee that helps oversee trading in derivatives, instruments which, like insurance, are used to hedge risk."
