It's ironic that amidst waves of bank employee layoffs, talent retention would be a concern among merging financial institutions. But keeping top talent is a key piece of the synergy puzzle for Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Barclays plc and other acquiring banks. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Jess Varughese, a managing partner of the financial services consulting firm Milestone, tells Suzanne Stevens that even in these challenging times, banks will have to work hard to keep the most productive bankers from leaving.

With states aggressively cutting budgets, big increases look almost definite next year, too - if not sooner. At least two states - Rhode Island and Michigan have already taken steps toward raising prices before next fall, and a half-dozen others are reportedly considering out of the ordinary midyear increases. For the current academic year, the average list price of tuition and fees at four-year public universities rose almost $400 to $6,585. At private colleges, prices rose 5.9 percent to $25,143, according to the annual "Trends in College Pricing" report from the College Board. It's important to remember many students don't pay the full list price. On average, students receive about $3,700 in grants and tax benefits at four-year public schools, and $10,200 at private institutions. And while full costs at some private institutions run $50,000 a year or more, more than half of four-year college students attend institutions costing under $9,000. Still, while spending on financial aid is increasing, it isn't rising fast enough to hold down the net price. The report emphasized that, accounting for overall inflation, prices rose less than 1 percent this year, and actually declined at public two-year colleges. But that's only because overall inflation was unusually high - about 5.6 percent. The College Board also reported that the amount of private borrowing - the loans students take out on top of federal aid - declined slightly last year. It was the second straight year the College Board reported lower private borrowing, after years of double-digit increases that fueled worries about student debt.

Author: Construction Added: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:54:09 -0800 Duration: 249New York City's government, agencies, institutions and private developers are expected to spend $93 billion through 2010 for new roads, office buildings, apartments, and schools, according to a new report. The forecast by the New York Building Congress does not factor in the effects of the recent weeks of global financial turmoil that saw the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers; the pending sale of Bear Stearns, Wachovia and Merrill Lynch or the problems at AIG. The global financial crisis is expected to cost New York City thousands of high paying Wall Street jobs, plus jobs that support them, such as lawyers, accountants, and restaurant workers. The credit meltdown has prompted Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ask the City Council to lift term limits, to allow him to run for a third term and to use his financial expertise to steer the city through a potential economic storm. Historically, construction spending has lagged during economic downturns, because banks and other lenders and investors have already allocated much of the construction budgets. The effects of a downturn may not be felt until 2010 and beyond, the report said. The Building Congress expects construction spending by year-end to reach a record $33.8 billion, a 16 percent increase over 2007. The coalition of businesses, labor, associations, and governmental organizations representing the design, construction, and real estate interests, sees spending tapering off to $33.4 billion in 2009 and $26.2 billion in 2010.

DN72: In May of 2008 Members of ADAPT celebrated 25 years of advocacy and civil disobedience that has brought awareness to the fact that thousands of people with disabilities are trapped in nursing homes, unable to secure services that would allow them to live independently in the community. As part of that celebration, a special exhibit was published that features photos and narratives, both in written and audio format, providing accounts of the 50 actions that have been held over the organization's 25-year history. ADAPT has a long history of organizing in the disability community and using civil disobedience and similar non- violent direct action tactics to achieve its goals. In 1983, as a project of the Atlantis Community in Denver, ADAPT began its national campaign for lifts on buses and access to public transit for people with disabilities. ADAPT started as American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit. For seven years ADAPT blocked buses in cities across the country to demonstrate the need for access to public transit. Many went to jail for the right to ride. This episode of DisabilityNation is the second in a two part series focusing on the history of ADAPT and features three select narratives from actions held in the early 1990's. Following their long fought victory to gain access to public transportation for people with disabilities, members of ADAPT traveled to Atlanta and began fighting to insure the supports were available so that people living in nursing homes and institutions could live independently in the community. Cassie James was at the Atlanta action and shares her experience and why ADAPT has taken up this issue. Next, we travel to 1993 and an action that was held in Washington DC. We hear from Elenor Smith Finally, we hear from Diane Coleman who talks about the action held that year in Washington.

Many of us take our bank accounts for granted. But a recent study shows thousands of Seattle residents remain unbanked. This week, Seattle and King County partnered with financial institutions to reach out to families without bank accounts. Such people often turn to predatory payday lenders and accrue high interest credit card debt. KUOW's Joshua McNichols has more.

The Lords of Bakersfield. Until recently, it was a little remembered local legend, of interest mostly to conspiracy theorists. But in the aftermath of Stephen Tauzer s Sept. 13 murder and the subsequent arrest of his former colleague, Chris Hillis, the legend has resurfaced. Some of the facts of the Tauzer case appear similar to aspects of the Lords legend, which goes like this: For more than a generation, Bakersfield was run by a cadre of men who led double lives. To the public these men were members of the community s most visible institutions, its justice system and the media. But in truth, according to Lords lore, these men a sprinkling of county executives, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, even the newspaper s publisher were part of a loose-knit, secretive network. Joseph Matheny talks to author Nick Belardes, in this second part of a recent interview. They discuss the legend of the Lords of Bakersfield and Nicks novel about the subject, The Lords: Part One. Also, music by Bakersfield bands Lost Ocean and The In Denials.
