English Nick becomes 97.1/The River's first mid-day host
By RODNEY HO/ firstname.lastname@example.com, originally filed Friday, September 9, 2016
Classic rock station 97.1/The River is moving English Nick from evenings to mid-days starting Monday, September 12.
This will be the first time in the station's 11-year history it will have a DJ during the time slot covering 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. That time period usually draws the highest ratings for the station without a jock.
English Nick, whose real name is Nick Parsons, joined evenings full time earlier this year. Before that, he was a reliable utility player on the Atlanta airwaves over the past 17 years. He had various roles on 96rock, 80s station 105.3/The Max (under the pseudonym Simon), 99X, Rock 100.5 and for the past five years, the River. His only previous full-time on-air gig was a night jock job at Rock 100.5 in 2008 and 2009.
"Change is awesome and excited to be on in a better day part," English Nick texted me.
Chris Eagan, the River's director of branding and programming, said in a press release: "Nick is a well-known name in the market who is loved by the River audience, and! I'm thrilled to bring him and his English accent (yes, it's real) to middays!"
This move happens just two weeks after the station swapped Kaedy Kiely and Steve Craig. Kiely is now afternoons and Craig is mornings.
97.1/The River is consistently a top 10 station in town. In the most recent four-week Nielsen Audio period, the River ranked 8th place with a 4.6 rating. Among 25-to-54 year olds, the station ranked 7th. In the mid-day slot that English Nick is taking, it's ranked third with a 6.1 rating.
The River and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution are both part of Cox Media Group.

No winter blues for Katie Holmes.
The 35-year-old actress shared a gorgeous, makeup-free black and white selfie on Wednesday as she braved the cold temperatures in New York City.
"Another windy day! Happy Wednesday 🙂 stay warm!!!!!!!" the brunette beauty captioned the stunning snapshot on Twitter.
Holmes is cracking a sly smile as some of her wispy long sleek strands cover her face.
Suri Cruise's mama was most recently spotted in the Big Apple attending Donna Karan's New York Fashion Week show on Tuesday.
"Great night in the city at Donna Karan show. Congratulations on 30th anniversary! Thank u for having me :)" Holmes tweeted shortly after the event.
Holmes is gearing up for a busy upcoming schedule because she has three movies scheduled for release this year: Days and Nights (co-starring Allison Janney and Ben Whishaw), Mania Days (co-starring Luke Kirby) and The Giver (co-starring Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Taylor Swift and Alexander Skarsgård).Follow @Infocelebrity on Twitter!

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and Flank Liposuction
This is a 52 year old women who had had two children. She had attempted weight loss through diet and exercise, but she could not rid herself of the excess fat and hanging skin in the central abdominal region. I performed a traditional tummy tuck by keeping the scar as low as possible. She could wear a bikini and her scar would be covered. I also did suction-assisted lipectomy (traditional liposuction). Dr. Noelle Sherber did laser scar treatments which is why her scars have nearly completely faded. This is an incredible adjunct to surgery that can make thick, red ropey scars fade away.

Current Assignments
The students are working hard on their Geography Projects. To give them time to complete this project, I've pushed the due dates on the Picture Book project back for now. We will return to the Picture Book Project in about two weeks, after we complete Geography presentations.
Parent conferences are scheduled for March 13 to 18. A few have reported that the ParentSquare link I sent last time did not work for them. If you had trouble accessing the Parent Conferences on ParentSquare, please go to the ParentSquare home page <www.parentsquare.com>, be sure you are logged in, and then try to find the conference signup form from there. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll sign you up the good old fashioned way.
The students are making great progress on their picture books. We have now reached the state where most are planning how this book will look. This is a fun, but also fairly complex stage. Done well, this stage will ensure that the book is well-crafted and beautiful.
To be sure everyone has time to focus on all the details, I've extended the deadline to March 16.
On Saturday, March 18 (Note the date change!), we have a unique opportunity to visit Tom's shop and learn the tips and tricks for making his winning boat design. A perfectly usable boat can be built for as little as $50, or for about $400 using high quality marine grade materials. We will gather at Tom's shop in Forestville at 10:00 AM, and expect to be finished around 3:00 PM. Tom is a master furniture maker, boat builder, and multiple winner of the Wooden Boat Challenge.
Ahoy Sailors!
If you registered a team for the Wooden Boat Challenge, the event staff need the t-shirt sizes for all team members. Please send t-shirt size information to Nell at <firstname.lastname@example.com> .
Our class is now officially fielding two intrepid teams. I have confirmation that there are sponsorships available for two more youth teams, so if you were hoping to build a team, register fast!

Well THAT was an exciting one, huh? Certainly not the best defensive display by either club (10 goals against, total), but this one had a ton of excitement, energy, hitting, and scoring. And, we even managed a fight! (I'd call that one a draw though). I thought for sure we'd get lit up tonight, but our guys bounced back and took advantage of a few Calgary miscues to stay in the game all night. It is hard to stay motivated when you're down 3-0, then 4-2, but when it was gut check time, it turned out we actually had something left tonight.
I think the biggest difference tonight was the shifting of the lines. I didn't keep track of it all night, but there was a Kozlov, Recchi, Little line, and Kovy seemed to split time with Thorburn and Holik and Armstrong and Christensen. I think it definitely elevated Holik and Kozzie's play, and Kovy was hunting all night. The goal race between him and Iginla probably helped his motivation a bit.
We also seemed to do a much better job cycling the puck in the offensive zone tonight. Instead of dumping it in and losing it along the boards, they stayed in position and managed to move the puck around (the Perrin/Army/EC line, when they were together, seemed to do this the best). It not only helped us hang on to the puck longer, but it created huge chances at the point - at least one of Kovy's goals was created from our ability to control the puck in our own zone tonight. More of that please. :)
Props to Thorburn for burying his chance tonight as well. He works his tail off out there every night, no matter the score, and it was good to see him get on the board. As I already mentioned, Holik had a pretty huge game - not only offensively but he was also making huge hits all night long. Little had some good chances, and I continue to be impressed by the energy and effort by both EC and Army out there. It is especially impressive given that they both were used to playing limited minutes in Pittsburgh. And Kovy's hat trick was a long time coming, and of COURSE I was wearing the one hat I'm unwilling to throw on the ice. I have never yet participated in the hat-throwing - I'm either watching it on TV or not wearing a hat. Oh well.
Our defense played pretty well, overall tonight, especially in the latter half of the 2nd and the 3rd periods. The 1st was just atrocious - 2 breakaway goals is not generally the way you want to start your game. It was especially surprising because the first goal was a poor play on Enstrom, who has been so solid this year. Credit where credit is due, I thought Exelby had a pretty good game - not outstanding, but he did a better job playing in position tonight. I think keeping him paired with Mac makes the most sense - he has played his best games this year while paired with Mac, in my opinion. Kari had a fairly average game, for him. It is hard to really fault him 100% on the breakaway goals, but he let in a softie or two, nonetheless. He seemed to do a better job controlling rebounds tonight though, and made some huge saves when it counted.
Overall, it was an entertaining game. And don't look now, but we actually were NOT outshot tonight (only the 8th time this season). AND, we won in regulation! Happy early St. Patrick's day, everyone! :)
As always, this is only my two cents. I could be wrong.

For anyone under 30 who's grown up in the Facebook era 'social' working is the obvious way to exchange ideas. To Millennials the hierarchical cascade model of communication seems perverse as can going up and down the food chain for permission to act. Internally large organisations are seeing the makeup of their workforce shift to this age group, externally they watch small, Millennially-populated companies disrupting their business model and doing it in fast, agile, networked ways.
Create Tomorrow's article talks about collaboration tools such as Yammer, Slack and Brigade & how forward thinking organisations - large and small - have derived huge benefit from adopting a collaborative approach to tackling their respective challenges.
Create Tomorrow: Digital collaboration - Transforming how we work together
In an era where employees have had considerable exposure to engaging collaboration tools in their personal life, there is an increasing appetite to embrace this way of operating in the workplace. And those businesses that are doing so, are reaping the rewards.

Tomorrow afternoon, I am being interviewed by Mr. Lee Webb of the 700 Channel on the campus of RTS about the theological implications of Katrina. It is to be broadcast early next week. Many of us are asking the great questions: Where was God in all of this? Why did this happen? How can God claim to be good and destroy so many lives?
Some leading evangelicals have been supplying answers: God was not present; God allows us so much freedom that he can only advise; His hands are tied by the forces of nature. Such responses of course may bring us temporary intellectual relief, avoiding the need to "justify" the ways of God; but in the last resort we know that it is morally and theologically bankrupt as an explanation of why bad things happen. This Sunday, in about 5-6 minutes, I will try and reflect on what the Bible might suggest by way of a response in the section Understanding the Times at the beginning of the evening service.

One can only imagine how nice this home would look if it were fixed up? I'm sure it would catch the attention of alert and knowledgeable photographers like you at both ends of the spectrum.
There's so many nice houses in disrepair in this town. This one is downtown. Yet there are many that have been brought back to their previous glory. I'm always surprised that well kept houses can be right next door to abandoned ones.

Palm Oil: with Catherine Laurence, Eric Lambin, Orangutan rescuer Daniek Hendarto, RSPO SG Darrel Webber
Palm Oil
Palm oil is everywhere – from cooking oil to soap to vegan margarine. Equatorial rainforest and peatland are cleared and replaced with serried ranks of oil palm trees (Elaeis guineensis). The biodiversity of Borneo and Sumatra, including the iconic Orang Utan, is threatened by habitat loss.
Some vegan activists say no product that causes so much destruction can be considered vegan. But is palm oil really worse than the alternatives? And can poor countries like Malaysia and Indonesia develop without it?
Environmentalist Catherine Laurence helps me disentangle the thicket of issues.
Hear academic experts Eric Lambin and Robert Greenland; vegan baker Ms Cupcake; primatologist Georgina Ash; vegan MP Kerry McCarthy; the boss of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil; and vegan Indonesian palm oil activist and Miskin Porno lead singer Daniek Hendarto.

Catherine Laurence
There is more about Catherine in her blog post, "Being part of the solution".
- Follow @calaurence on Twitter
Georgina Ash
Georgina Ash is a primatologist who has worked and volunteered with Orangutans. She is now the picture editor for the World Society for the Protection of Animals in London, UK, where I spoke with her.
Daniek Hendarto
Daniek (pronounced "Danny") works for Indonesian NGO the Centre for Orangutan Protection: he helps advise Zoos on care, resettling Orangutans from threatened areas, and campaigning against the impact of palm oil. Daniek is vegan, and also the lead singer of punk rock band "Miskin Porno", which (content warning) sings sweary rants against palm oil:
- Listen to Miskin Porno at ReverbNation.com
Prof Eric Lambin
Dr Lambin is a Professor of Geography at Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium and at Stanford University, California. He specialises in land use change. Because of his work, he has received the Prix Franqui, and been elected to the US National Academy of Sciences. He is a meat reducer, for environmental reasons.

Dr Robert Goodland
Dr Goodland is a tropical ecologist. He went from an academic career to being an environmental advisor at the World Bank, and from there to being an environmental campaigner, consultant, and writer. He is vegan. Dr Goodland blogged at WorldBank.org about the research he did with Dr Anhang that concluded that livestock are responsible for 51% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. He also wrote a column for The Guardian criticising the World Bank's environmental impact in 2007. He received the Coolidge Memorial Medial from the International Union for Nature Conservation in 2008.
Darrel Webber
Darrel Webber left a career in business to join the World Wildlife Fund, where he liaised with palm oil companies to build wildlife corridors into their plans. He is omnivorous – his interest in conservation is led partially by his fishing. He joined the RSPO from WWF. As Director General of the RSPO, he has taken part in:
- A Google hangout with other palm oil activists and stakeholders (1 hr)
- Business podcast "The Breakfast Grill" ("The Green Side of Palm Oil")
Melissa Morgan ("Ms Cupcake")
Ms Cupcake is a vegan baker and media personality, the author of "The Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town" cookbook, and winner of the British Baker 2011 "Rising Star" award. Her bakery is in the gentrifying south London suburb of Brixton.
Kerry McCarthy MP
You hear the Member of the UK Parliament for Bristol East and her two parliamentary colleagues in the shows about vegan politicians. There is more about her on the page for the first politics show.
Oil Palm
You can read reports from US-based Center for Science in the Public Interest (2005, PDF), the United Nations Environment Programme (2011, pdf), and campaigns from the Rainforest Action Network and the UK magazine Ethical Consumer. But you should definitely read Catherine's blog post about what she thinks the solutions are, now the episode is done. As a commodity, we used statistics from the US Department of Agriculture.
The Three Oil Palm Fruit Products
The Oil Palm yields fruit; the fruit has both flesh and kernel; and both of those produce meal as well as oil. In the show, we talked mainly about the fruit oil (which is four-fifths of the economic value). Here is my working for how the economic yield breaks down (showing that it's mostly the fruit oil). According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, each hectare produces:
- Oil: 4t at $750/t = $3000 = 80%
- Kernel oil: 500kg at $840/t = $420 = 16%
- Kernel cake/meal: 600kg at $250/t = $150 = 4%
- Total = $3750
The oils are used mainly for food, but are also used in biofuel and other non-food products. The kernel meal is mainly used as animal feed, but is sometimes also used locally as biofuel.
The Oil as an Ingredient
The saturated fat molecules in palm oil have a kink that makes it easy for the molecules to stack into a solid. For this reason, palm oil is a source of fats that are solid at room temperature, making "ambient products" possible. This is an issue for anyone avoiding fat, as well as for bakers.
Orangutans and Habitat Loss
The Orangutans (Indonesian: forest man) are the only species of great ape restricted to Asia. The Sumatran Orangutan is critically endangered; the Bornean Orangutan is endangered. (The other great apes are Chimpanzee, Bonobo, Eastern/Western Gorillas, and – lest we forget – Human). See also:
- "Orangutan Island" (Video, Discovery Channel)
The Orangutans are a symbol, but not the only threatened species; the Sumatran Rhino is thought to number fewer than four hundred; and the Sumatran tiger is also critically endangered:
with just 1 percent of the Earth's land area, Indonesia's rainforests contain 10% of the world's known plants, 12% of mammals and 17% of all known bird species – Rainforest Action Network
Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
The RSPO includes a wide range of producers, traders, and consumers of palm oil as well as NGOs. It marks palm oil that is traceable to source and produced in line with its principles and rules as CSPO (Certified Sustainable Palm Oil)
- The RSPO website provides information on consumption, production and purchase of CSPO
- Rainforest Action Network summed up the case against CSPO in a series of blog posts; and reported on breaches of local regulations and RSPO rules by Cargill (PDF)
- I mentioned the complaint against IOI; or see this letter to the press from one of the complainants (hat tip COP).
The RSPO revised the specifics of some of its rules in 2013: I mentioned that WWF was so disappointed with this revision that they want to set up a new, stricter, certificate within the RSPO (PDF).
Catherine includes more information about Green Palm and CSPO on her blog post about what consumers can do.
Makers of Vegan Margarines
Kerry Foods
Kerry Foods make "Pure", the UK's leading brand of vegan margarine. They are RSPO members (membership page). Their Annual Communication of Progress for 2010-11 said only 2% of their palm oil was CSPO. My comparison with 10% of Palm Oil production being CSPO was based on these RSPO figures for CSPO production. Kerry failed to file an ACOP in 2011-12, as shown by their absence from this list. The RSPO process does at least make it obvious when someone does not even fill in the paperwork.
Earth Balance
Earth Balance are produced by Boulder Brands. They are not RSPO members, and have a web page about their palm oil sourcing.
… go to Robb Masters and Miskin Porno for the music. The title of the Miskin Porno song used in the show, translated and bowdlerised, is "F___ palm oil". The illustration pic of Indonesian deforestation is by Vincent Poulissen, used with permission; the sound clip pic is of Orangutan is Kani from Melbourne Zoo by Macinate (and yes, I did try to find a pic of a freeliving Orangutan) used under CC-BY.
9 responses to "Palm Oil: with Catherine Laurence, Eric Lambin, Orangutan rescuer Daniek Hendarto, RSPO SG Darrel Webber"
Brian Jacobs says :
Hi Ian Are Eric Lambin and Robert Greenland speaking in favour of cutting and burning down the rainforest, so we are fully informed from both sides, which is what you asked regarding the fluoride talk at London Vegans?
[Admin edit: website name changed to poster name, lengthy .sig stripped]
Ian McDonald says :
You can read more about how The Vegan Option tries to follow journalistic ethics of objectivity and due impartiality in our "about" pages.
That qualification "due" includes taking it for granted that animals exist for their own reasons as well as the assumptions we share with mainstream media (democracy is good; slavery is bad). We're not impartial about those.
If animals exist for their own reasons, then it follows that the destruction of their habitat is a bad thing. So "due impartiality" does not imply complete impartiality about "cutting and burning down the rainforest".
Nevertheless, Darrel Webber does make the case for developing countries being able to use their rainforest; and during production I specifically sought out the views of the vegetarian movement in Indonesia and Malaysia, who might have been expected to support a degree of forest clearance for one of their major industries.
So although I'm not sure if a 30 minute show can "fully inform" anyone, I think we treated the question with due impartiality, reflecting a range of views.
I hope that once you've listened to the show, you'll agree.
Tanya&Dawn (@ProgressKitch) says :
Just listened to this episode, and enjoyed it greatly!
Learned that yes, apparently there is technically such a thing as sustainable palm oil, but no I don't see any reason to alter my 'avoid palm oil' habit one little bit… there's way too little accountability, and the sustainable sources will never be able to meet existing corporate demand (imo) — but I did like the episode's closing thoughts: ONLY thoughtful-consumer boycotts won't make enough of a dent in the problem. and we need to keep pushing for better standards sustainable certification ALSO… Excellent point.
Thanks for another great episode! Glad to see this issue entering mainstream awareness, or at least broader awareness among the vegan community. And thanks for giving PK a voice in the discussion — we appreciate it!
Keep up the very excellent work; can't wait to see what issue you tackle next. 🙂

Imogen Michel says :
Hi Ian,
Thanks for a great and very well-balanced episode! It's a really interesting subject which raises a lot of competing ethical questions.
Also, it was great to meet you in Edinburgh earlier this summer, and hopefully see you at VegFestUK London in October 🙂
Looking forward to the next one,
Mindy Sjogren says :
I've helped care for orphaned orangutans in Borneo and drove through the palm oil plantations for hours and hours….anyone who has seen it knows. It's terribly destructive. The biodiversity we are losing over a cheap vegetable oil is shocking. If humans valued natural resources before money, this one is a no brainer.

hi All I'm having issues selecting the correct mail from a conversation to then forward it :/ I'm using an app that acts as front end to the regular web gmail. when I try an select a specific received email from a conversation, it sends the whole conversation rather than just the selected mail. IE. a previous reply to mail is sent in the forwarded mail. this is a bit of a privacy issue for me. I might be doing it wrong? I'm selecting the mail I want from the conversation by tapping on the mail in the conversation group and expanding it cheers dan

Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism
"Animal experimentation is invariably given a utilitarian justification: the overall good outweighs the overall evil. Knight's work is the definitive reply to such reasoning. Rigorous examination and analysis of the data simply do not support the empirical conclusion. Deftly written, the book is highly recommended to scientists, philosophers, veterinarians, students, and indeed any layperson with concerns regarding the morality of experimenting on nonhuman animals."
"A timely and valuable contribution to the debate surrounding the use of animals in research. What makes this book stand apart from other similar works is its focus on evidence-based science."
Andre Menache BSc(Hons), BVSc, MRCVS
Veterinarian & Director, Antidote Europe
Veterinary Practice, 2011
"Excellent background reading on the subject."
Pete Wedderburn MRCVS
The Telegraph, 2011
"Knight presents a wealth of data on the issue of costs and benefits associated with animal experiments and the book goes beyond its title: it also imparts some information on alternatives… The format is excellent for a reader that may not wish to peruse the book from cover to cover as it is very well structured with chapters, each containing introductions, descriptive/informative sub-headings and useful summaries, making navigation through the book very easy."
Susanne Prankel equiv BSc (Hons), CertFET, PGCert Higher Educ Learning & Teaching, MPhil, PhD, MRCVS
Veterinarian & Senior Lecturer (Biology), Institute of Science and the Environment, University of Worcester
Animals, 2012
"Using a wealth of scientific information, Dr. Knights' book provides a critical and thorough examination of the topic of animal experimentation. The book is excellently organized and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in medical research and human health."

where did you get your boot hooks from ZamIam?
I've stumbled across a wonderful material that will help us fellow Zam seamstresses make the various Zam parts, far far easier....
Seen as pig skin is stretchy it's a bugger to sew with, right? Not anymore...
If you iron on heat activated cotton glue sheets to this inside of the pig skin, this helps LOADS!
It doesn't spoil anything, just helps to stop the pig skin stretching under your needle and over time.
Don't leave the iron on too long as the skin wrinkles up and shrinks
Check this out...
Basic length, plus mock up of belt that fits Becky
After ironing the cotton onto the pig skin strip
Trim it all away
Leaves you with a little pig skin, cotton pocket
Far easier to mark out now as it won't lose it's shape.
And then you can add quilting like this
Hope this helps someone

Very cool! Thanks for the link JDFett! I bought some (from England might I add!) - but now can't find the things... That's what happens when I re-organize!
John - I don't know if I've ever seen that here in the states... kind of like a stabilizer I assume. Iron-on interfacing? Does the needle get gummed up when you sew with it?
Yes, yes yes. That's it!! Iron on interfacing. I remember what it's called now. The lady in shop did say and remeber that term going way over my head but she said it would do what I wanted.
No it doesn't get gummed up at all. The glue dries as it cools and sticks to the internal nap of the pig skin really well. I've flown through the belt, second time round. Will post pictures tomorrow. I'm off to bed
Oh yeah and the best match I've seen for Zam's boot hooks are called J91, military by YKK. The zip folk
These things look spot on to me
If anyone over in the States finds these, please spare me and Becky a thought
i saw those too...but you need a setter for them and thats just added cost for something that isnt really seen when together...the other sew on boot hooks are nice cause they are for one sew on...no setter needed and you wont see the sew on part after its laced...not sure how big they are though
I think that I saw those same ones wayyy back when...and, yes, much more accurate. I contemplated getting a box, but instead, I got mine from a local boot place that does custom leather boots. I tried to get them to make the zam shoe but they wouldn't, because it wasn't thier type of boot. Then I asked them about the boot hooks, and she said, "I am sorry I can't help you any more, you lucked out, we just had some from a discontinued run," and stuffed a scrap of leather and some boot hooks in a bag, and said "good luck." She was really really nice. I wished I could've given her more business, but the fact was it wasn't plausible. Cowboy boots wouldn't equal zam boots.
I couldn't find those things... I've looked and looked and looked. I've found someone to set them - but they don't carry them and won't order them. Right now, I'm not caring if they are sew-ons or set-ins as long as they are "hooks" !!! Yep.. I'm getting desperate! I know I put them someplace! *gads... someday I'm gonna get organized!*
do the set ins basacally work similar to a snap set without the back piece? I wonder how much force is really needed to set them without a tool...
got em!!!
ok who wants some?
I spoke to YKK here in the UK today and our military use them for their MODs boots etc
The guy is sending me samples in the post
I'll get several, more than I need, some if they are right, they must be, and someone wants some, please ask

why if you have 16 extra...i could use a return favor on the gloves
You've got the right ones John! No question!!! You could go to a shoe repair place (the correct name eludes me at the moment - feeling blonde ) and they should be able to set the hooks for you in the finished cumberbund!
Over here we call them cobblers . Yeah good idea. However the chap on the phone did say that they sell a little tool, much like you get when yu hammer press studs through things, that's really cheap. He said you do need a tool but good news it's cheap
Made by YKK, in the states they're called J91, over here M34

Jun 12 2008 | 2:00am ET
Citigroup is closing Old Lane Partners, the hedge fund founded by CEO Vikram Pandit, after almost all of its outside investors elected to withdraw their money.
The troubled Wall Street giant, which paid more than $800 million for Old Lane less than a year ago, had considered a billion-dollar infusion to keep the hedge fund afloat. But Citi decided against pouring as much as $3 billion into Old Lane because its resources have been dangerously strained by almost $15 billion in losses over the past two quarters, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Instead, Citi will shutter the hedge fund and buy its remaining assets, another black eye for the bank and Pandit, who founded Old Lane in 2006 and was named CEO of Citi in December. The bank will liquidate most of Old Lane's portfolios, while others will be transferred to Citi's investment banking division or run as small, narrowly-focused funds within Citi Alternative Investments. The closure of Old Lane is expected to lead to a second-quarter charge for Citigroup, on top of the $202 million write-down it took in the first quarter.
The Journal reports that many of Old Lane's approximately 130 employees will be given new roles within Citigroup, while others will be laid off. The future of Old Lane co-founder Guru Ramakrishnan, a close colleague of Pandit's from their Morgan Stanley days and the current CEO of Old Lane, is unclear.
Old Lane managed about $4.5 billion when Citi acquired it in July 2007. But the departures of Pandit and other top Old Lane executives to new jobs within Citi—Old Lane co-founder John Havens now heads Citi's institutional clients group—triggered early withdrawal provisions, with "substantially all" of Old Lane's outside investors took advantage of. Following the redemptions, Old Lane was managing less than $2 billion, all of it belonging to Citi and Old Lane's founders and employees.
Pandit, who recused himself from the decision about what to do with Old Lane, has about $100 million—of the $165 million he pocketed in the firm's sale to Citi—in the fund, which will be moved to other Citi investment vehicles.

Ahh, being born in 1983 was great. Well, not so great for me or my parents. See, I was premature, weighing in at a whopping 1 lb. 12 ounces. Yea, I was tiny. My dad said I looked like a burnt monkey and scared the bejesus out of my grandmohter ( an accomplishment I still hold dear). But enough of that, let's get down to the good stuff. The 'ooze' of it all, if you will.
What can be said about the 80s that hasn't already? For me, it was the first time watching the original trilogy of Star Wars on VHS. That's right, the ORIGINAL TRILOGY, no additions or edits of any kind, (which would unfortunately come much later.)
But, watching Star Wars, over and over again, really gave me a great appreciation of art, film, and what would eventually be my love of sci fi and fantasy. I just got hooked. Nothing could stop my love of fantasy. Especially my love of cartoons. I don't care what anyone says, from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, cartoons were THE BOMB!!!!!!
I (and most undoubtedly you as well) had He-Man, Thundercats,DinoRiders,Transformers, Duck Tales, the Smurfs,Widget the World Watcher, Denver the Last Dinosaur, and let's not forget, everyone's favorite Lean Green Fighting Machine- The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!!!
That's basically what I remember from the 80s, even though it was brief. Fun/Sad Fact: I didn't realize until the second TMNT movie came out in theaters that it was based off of a comic book. I always knew the Turtles from the cartoon show! Lol.
Now I digress. Let's get on to a fantastic year- the 90s!!!
Ahh. my favorite decade (and the one I remember the best!). The music, the fashion, the rioting..the looting..the OJ Simpson trial... yeah, you get my drift.
But let's start with the music. How can you not remember the 90s without Nirvana?? Well..I didn't get into Nirvana until later. I was into everything Green Day! "Dookie" was my first cassette tape I bought (remember them?). It had foul language, bad messages, everything a 12 year old like me could ask for. (Although, when my mom found out what I was listening to, she immediately threw it away. It was only years later, that I got hooked on KoRn, and had to secretly buy their music and hide it in my room (damn you Parental Advisory!!!)To be honest, I liked the Parental Advisory. It was, to me, the Tree of Forbidden Knowledge, and boy, did I want knowledge.
As i broadened my horizons, I found bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sound Garden, Sonic Youth.
The 90s were also a time of growing up for me. (well as much as I could any way). I discovered girls, and mastur***ing. And the internet and porn. God bless the internet. And porn. Lol. To hell with the sex ed in schools. For me, that was boring. If I wanted to know the birds and the bees, it was porn.
Yeah, didn't see that part of the article coming, did you?
Besides porn, it was also the decade where I discovered I could draw, and the artist in me just flourished. I took art classes, and discovered my love for comics. I honestly had gotten bored and wanted to start collecting something. So I went to a local comic shop (which I still go to 17 years later) and discovered Wolverine of the XMen. It was awesome you guys. I picked it up, started to read and was quickly hooked. I began devouring each adventure every other week and quickly (and expensively) my collection grew and grew) I branched out and saw Batman and Superman (Again, in the early 90s I found out about them from the movies, my brain said f**k the words, just give me action!) Give me Christopher Reeve! Give me Micheal Keaton as the Caped Crusader!
Again, I digress. In closing, (and because I'm tired), the 80s and 90s were the best parts of my childhood and me growing up into the adult and geek I am.
SDCC 2014 baby! Woo!
Cherish your childhood, remember the good times, forget the bad times, and just have fun with your life. Rock on, party hard, and Live Long and Prosper.
A 90s Kid Perspective
...with a bit of 80s thrown in for flare.

Are you looking for a Public Policy internship in Virginia? Public Policy internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full time job offer, which means interning in Virginia can also serve as the foundation to landing a full time job in that city after graduation.
Public Policy summer internships in Virginia are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Simply gaining Public Policy experience is essential in order to provide value and creativity to the team.

Prioritizing Maintenance Work By C. Paul Oberg, President EPAC Software Technologies, Inc.
PRIORITY SYSTEM Why is a Priority System Necessary ? Provides a means for evaluation of activities and backlog Effective means of communicating importance Provides an effective decision making tool
PRIORITY SYSTEM Why is a Priority System Necessary ? Organize needs in a hierarchical fashion based on an agreed upon set of criteria Eliminates squeaky wheel Helps optimize the use of resources
PRIORITY SYSTEM To be an effective and lasting decision making tool, the Priority System must have the respect of: Maintenance Customers Maintenance Management Maintenance Trades
PRIORITY SYSTEM The priority system should be based on quantifiable, comprehensive and understandable criteria such as: Facility/Equipment capacity utilization Profitability of facility/equipment Quality of downstream facility/equipment affected Incremental maintenance costs if work is deferred
PRIORITY SYSTEM The priority system should be based on quantifiable, comprehensive and understandable criteria such as: Quality costs if work is deferred Additional maintenance labor if work is deferred Potential safety hazard if work is deferred
PRIORITY SYSTEM Upon closer examination, we can separate criteria into two generic classifications: Asset Type Type of Work
PRIORITY SYSTEM Ranking Index for Maintenance Expenditures (RIME) Developed by Albert Ramond & Associates, Inc Most widely used maintenance priority system Two factor priority system comprised of: Asset Type Type of Work Priority
PRIORITY SYSTEM Ranking Index for Maintenance Expenditures (RIME) Asset Type x Type of Work Priority Arithmetic: The product of these two factors give an index of the relative importance of the maintenance work to both facility/production and maintenance management. The process of establishing the relative importance of priority of a maintenance job is known as RIME.
PRIORITY SYSTEM Who is best able to qualify these criteria ? Asset Type ? - Maintenance - Maintenance Users Type of Work ? - Maintenance Management
Ranking Index of Maintenance Expenditures
PRIORITY SYSTEM RESPONSIBILITIES Facility/Production Management must identify and classify: Equipment Buildings Facilities Systems Maintenance Management has the responsibility of defining and classifying: Type of Work
PRIORITY SYSTEM With all but one of his people on maintenance jobs, the maintenance manager has two jobs left to do. Which shall he/she assign the remaining person to and be confident that an appropriate decision has been made? JOB ARebuild a spare fan motor JOB B Conduct Preventive Maintenance on a pick-up truck which is infrequently used
PRIORITY SYSTEM X RIME Calculation Asset Type Value x Type of Work Value = RIME JOB A 7 7 49 JOB B 6 X 954
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Trend Analysis provides insight into… u Are we putting the emphasis on the right jobs based on departmental backlog and completed job history ? u Should our staffing be redistributed from Area 1 to Area 2 based on comparative backlog, size and importance ? u Are our preventive and corrective maintenance programs effective based on the trend of backlog importance ?
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Trend Analysis provides insight into….. u Are we doing more or less important work than previous ? u Should overtime/ outside resources be adjusted based upon size and importance of backlog ? u Should department A focus more on preventive and/ or corrective maintenance based on importance of the jobs requested and completed ?
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Using RIME to Evaluate Maintenance Trends Backlog trends Work Completed Trends Level of Service
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Average RIME: Weighted Average base upon trade hours: RIME X HOURS = RIME HOURS JOB: A JOB: B JOB: C JOB: D 42 X 24 = 1008 54 X 18 = 972 90 X 34 = 3060 72 X 18 = 1296 TOTALS: 94 6336 Average RIME = Total RIME Hours = 6336 = 67.4 Total Hours 94
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Current Level Trade Analysis Level 1 Low Average RIME 0 to 40 Level 2 Moderate Average RIME 40 to 80 Level 3 High Average RIME 80 to 100
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS Current Level Trends Analysis
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS JOBS COMPLETED AVERAGE RIME Level Slope Interpretation and Possible Action HIGHUP Dangerously high level of emergency and breakdown occuring. Increased maintenance manpower levels with emphasis on PM/CM during non-operating periods should be considered until the level has been reduced to moderate. HIGH FLAT OR DOWN The level of emergency and breakdown work is too high. Continued emphasis on PM/CM and increased manpower levels should be considered.
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS JOBS COMPLETED AVERAGE RIME Level Slope Interpretation and Possible Action ModerateUP The Overall level indicated a satisfactory mix of work, while the upward slope indicates an increase in emergency or preventive main- tenance jobs. This cannot be determined without specific data. Overtime should be used to control the level of backlog hours. Moderate FLAT Current mix of work is good. With the slope being flat, the only concern is the size of the backlog.
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS JOBS COMPLETED AVERAGE RIME Level Slope Interpretation and Possible Action Moderate DOWN The Current level indicates a good mix of work. However, the downward slope indicated less meaningful work is being requested and worked. This situation will lead to a potential manpower reduction position.
MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS JOBS COMPLETED AVERAGE RIME Level Slope Interpretation and Possible Action LOW UP, FLAT The Current level indicates an improper mix of low priority jobs being worked. This condition will exist for one or both of two reasons: 1. Improper scheduling of priority work. Check the backlog trend for level and slope. 2.
