Spend the whole flight back from Prague reading thru HT... good stuff.
Very informative story about how French economical and political elite is formed/has formed for long time (thru Ecole Polytehcnique and thru ENA) and how's it's now under fire with the Kerviel catastrophy.
Great story about how some of Iran's former lead revolutionalists and key political figures Ibrahim Yadzi (former deputy prime minister and first foreign minister) and Abbas Abdi (lead figure behind US embassy former hostage horror) have been strongly disaggreing about how republican & democratic Iran should be build... and they have been set aside. Not how I thought it's there..
Iran and Syria hunting down together a mysterious killig of Hamas leader in Syria. which Israel so firmly denies of being responsible that makes really wonder who it was - who videotaped that ?
Interesting story on Sarkozy's wierd "how to teach 10 years old to school kids about holocaust"-plan.
Another horror gunman incident in Illinois - after giving up medication a normal person shot 20. Basic trust to fellow beings/anyman slowly degrading - breaking one of the corner stones of our society ?
Eco anxiety moms strike back with community services - Looks like real change on our living values is taking place - promising, wakes up hopes for the future.
California 5150 - ex drug addicts shout for help to improve eg mentally disturb persons' and drug addicts' possibilities to survive by improving their relatives possibilites to force aid on them. But still keeping in mind the thread of misuse - standard theme in horror and thriller movie scenes.
Did someone actully temper with Kerviel's and his mates IM dialog to make them look bad ? propably yes, and head will drop soon in the bank ?
Very interesting article about firms (again) cultivating loyalty by investing in worker clubs and worker benefits in US. Competition for the competent people and their loalty is tough in US - in Finland it seems that outside of SME scene competences do not really interest corporates ... expect of course management competence ;o) Let's hope that current lack of true interest for competences will not be eventually the achilles heel for bigger Finnish corporates.
...and finally a familiar face in the last page - big picture about Tanja Poutiainen who won the slalom in Zagreb.
Loads of stories - time to expand Sunday morning's Hesari hours with subcription of HT ?
Random thoughts and things which would be nice to remember ... documented mainly for myself
