The former head of fixed-income for Asia-Pacific at Morgan Stanley is set to launch a hedge fund with a former Pacific Investment Management Co. adviser, with an eye towards managing US$1 billion.
Ranodeb Roy has set up RV Capital Management in Singapore. The new firm—the "V" stands for co-founder Vickram Mangalgiri—will launch its maiden hedge fund in April or May, investing in credit, interest rates and foreign exchange, with a focus on liquidity.
Roy said the fund's capacity is US$1 billion, although he and Mangalgiri plan to "start off small." He has already begun marketing the fund to institutional investors in the U.S. and Europe.
The firm's founders have already been joined by former BNP Paribas South Asia interest rate and foreign exchange structuring head Rajesh Mahadevan to serve as head of trading strategy, and plan to hire an India-based research team. At launch, RV could employ as many as 10 people.
Roy joined Morgan Stanley in 2008 after leaving Merrill Lynch.

Barbara Poppa, wardrobe supervisor at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, reached for a plastic basket and pointed to the washing machine before her.
"I've got exciting laundry to do," she said, holding a ballerina's slip for Russian dancers Osipova and Vasiliev, a ballet duo premiering that night. "And the veil for the wedding scene needs to be repaired."
Poppa knows that as wardrobe supervisor, there's a laundry list of primary responsibilities.
There's the care of all costumes, shoes, undergarments, hats and costume-related props.
There's the steaming and pressing costumes before each performance.
There's ensuring proper labeling, hanging and storage of all costume pieces.
Then there are the costume repairs, considered "emergencies," that are done on-site before and sometimes during the actual performance.
Stains? Holes? Rips? Odor? Poppa is armed with a sewing machine, glue gun, pins and vodka.
We'll get to the vodka later. Let's start at the very beginning.
Poppa, now 70, said she is not educated in theatrical production.
But sewing, yes.
She's sewn all her life for her four kids and one grandson. And there was that time when she stitched up Kentucky Fried Chicken uniforms in her home.
It was familiarity that brought Poppa to learn of the wardrobe supervisor position at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, originally called Orange County Performing Arts Center. Poppa so badly wanted the job she wrote a letter to the head of management asking to join the team. She started in 1986, when the venue opened.
She's been ironing costumes, checking for repairs and keeping celebrities with sizable egos in check since.
No whining allowed
Hidden in the lower level of the center, underneath the stage where high-profile stars have performed plays, music and dance, is Poppa's office, papered with signage — some inspirational, others requests.
"Life's not a dress rehearsal. Get out there and enjoy it."
"All drama must remain on the stage."
The word "whining" is written in bold capital letters inside a slashed circle.

Ramen here'll do the job in a pinch, and it's affordable. (Remember, you're in Austin on 6th Street.) Super cool service, and the soft-serve rocks.
A place for pork ramen and little else, but what it does, it does well. The pork is just fatty enough to be flavorful, and the egg is a bit runny as it ought to be. Last order by 10:30.
Really not as good as people say it is! If you've had a real bowl of ramen before, you'll be disappointed by the weak soup base that tastes like licking a piece of boiled pork.
As good as the original

30 is conservative, with pretty modern (as those things went) accouterments with regards to sanitation and so on.
In reality? The real world numbers were likely much lower-- what with the streets being synonymous with sewers, etc.
We moderns **know** the sorts of diseases people get under those conditions even today--**with** modern antibiotics.
Back then?.. meh. Anytime someone caught a cold/influenza? They **died**...
.. or if they got an infection-- like a simple bladder/kidney infection? Death was their outcome to a pretty high degree of certainty.
Even something as seemingly minor as a tooth infection? Dead by the middle 20's from the creeping infection spreading to the bones....
So yeah-- 30 is likely too generous here...
... is it any wonder they married at 11, 12 or 13? They **had** to... they'd most likely be dead by the 5th kid even then.
Of course, most of their kids died before 12... so 5 or more was kinda needed too.

I was in Paris, walking from the hotel for a little sight seeing at le Place de la Concorde and watched in fascination as two tractors towing trailers of manure trundled up the busy road. You can imagine the scene of two big heavy tractors rolling along side by side at around 10kph in a busy Paris street honk, honk.
The tractors pulled up outside a newly opening McDonalds, grinding traffic to a complete standstill, crowds gathered (both pedestrian and frustrated drivers) to watch them very efficiently dumped the lot in the doorways then they drove off to cheers and applause.

The problem comes in when you want to evaluate the a priori probability of something and then evaluate how that probability changes as we gather evidence.
What, for example, would you assign to be the a priori probability that there are gnomes in your garden? To what extent do you use the known facts that people have previously looked for gnomes and not found them? To what extent do you consider the fact that gnomes, my being magical being, would violate many of the laws of physics we have found through hard work over time?
Do you consider it is be *possible* that there are gnomes in your garden? Why or why not?
Several problems here. First of all, trust is based on previous evidence of at least some consistency. Having trust that there *is* evidence is getting things backwards. You should start with the position of skepticism and then demand evidence of a caliber to support the claims made.
In this case, even the concept of a supernatural is problematic. The evidence is, at best, tentative, which means it is far from being able to support the claim. And that assumes that the interpretation of the evidence is correct (which it almost never is for the first theory). This is precisely where there should *not* be faith: when evaluating the evidence.
Depends. Which deity are you saying appears? Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Athena, Ahura Mazda? Or perhaps we say that God has already appeared because, along with Spinoza, we interpret the universe itself to be God.
Once again, you are assuming properties not in evidence. You are assuming both the existence and uniqueness of a deity and in addition assume that deity is described in the Bible. Again, this is precisely where one should be skeptical: the beginning of an intellectual endeavor is thew time when the most mistakes are made because of bias.
How do you compare the evidence for the divinity of Jesus to that for the teaching of the Buddha? Or of Mohammad? How, specifically, do you determine which is *wrong*?

And this is the start of your problem. Knowledge is produced from *skepticism* and testing. Faith is almost the antithesis of knowledge.
perhaps this explains your perpetual hateful attitude: you know your beliefs are built on quicksand.

I'm not trying to deflect Bob. Allow me to explain.
I think the word faith has been given multiple definitions over the years based upon mistaken perceptions. My blunt opinion is that faith=trust. For some reason, people like to think they're separate, and I don't think they should be separate. Religious beliefs shouldn't be the criteria by which we define the word, even though in history, that's exactly what happened. I blame the Catholic church for it's dogmatic and at times forceful methodology in discouraging inquiry. Because of this rigid dogma, converts were discouraged from asking questions and just told to accept whatever the Vatican decreed. This was still the attitude at the Catholic school I attended as a young boy. This was a huge disservice to converts, and was one of the major factors behind the Protestant Reformation.
I firmly believe that the early church fathers (the Apostles and their disciples) used the word faith in the way I do. Trust. They trusted because they honestly believed they had seen the risen Christ.
When I look at the total body of evidence, the big picture, I see how it all comes together, and how I can trust (have faith) in the probability. I think that the Christian church of the 21st century is starting to realize this mistake, and is replacing the word faith with trust. For many of us, they are one and same.

People claimed to have seen Elvis after he died. More relevantly, they also claimed to have seen David Koresh.
When I look at the 'big picture', I see the case for Christianity fall apart in many ways.
I see the growth of a legend and its interaction with a larger society that was superstitious and prone to mystery cults. I see the mass production of stories that were back-attributed to the apostles and carried the biases of later believers. I see a dynamic between the Jewish and the Roman cultures that began long before Jesus supposedly existed and continued long after. I see the adoption of the cult a few centuries later by an emperor looking for a base of power. I see the books of the Bible chosen to support the power of the emperor. I see a battle early on between those who believed in a divine Christ who became human and those who did not think he was actually human. I see a previous battle between those who were Jewish and saw Jesus' message as directed to them, and Paul who wanted to spread the message to the Romans.
In all of this, power and superstition were dominant considerations. Hardly the way to preserve truth.

I never said that faith is evidence. Evidence is what supports faith. Evidence is what supports the decisions that a jury makes in a court case. The jury doesn't deliberate until all the available and reasonable evidence is in and the attorneys submit their closing arguments. The jury can't say "We find the defendant guilty/not guilty" and then go looking for reasons to justify it. That wouldn't be justice. That would be foolish. Likewise, it's supposed to work the same way with Christianity. We're supposed to ask questions and weigh the merits of the total argument, not just small pieces and sound bytes.
The stereotype is that Christians say "Yup we believe" and then go looking for reasons to believe. That is just stupid. And it's equally stupid (no offense intended) to apply that stereotype to all Christians. Some of us really do think and consider the evidence.
That brings me to the next point. What is and isn't evidence?
That is undoubtedly a major point of contention. What is the standard of evidence? Is it the preponderance of the evidence which is 51% or higher, or is it beyond reasonable doubt? With all due respect to the uninitiated in legal and historical matters, the higher standard is only applied in criminal cases. Not civil cases or historical research. Certainty isn't the goal in presenting evidence for the spiritual seeker. Certainty would have us all in Vegas or never leaving the bathroom.
The Christian church is undergoing a radical change in which discussion about doubt and church history is being encouraged instead of discouraged. People want real answers before placing trust in Jesus, and I think it's right that they do. Trust shouldn't be blind as has been the attitude. Neither should people be told "Well just believe first and then we'll give you the reasons why later." No. That's dishonest. That's why you're seeing a sharp decline in mainline church populations. But that doesn't mean Christianity is declining. It means that the traditional view of church and the Christian faith is changing. House churches are on the rise. With a house church, most if not all of the funds collected go directly towards charitable causes right in the local community, because there are no administrative costs associated with the church.
Sorry to be so long on this post, but the old stereotypes are being challenged. Perceptions are being challenged in both believers and skeptics.
My faith didn't come first. The evidence built my trust from the ground up because I was willing to follow the evidence wherever it took me. And where it took me was to the probability that Jesus is who he claimed, and that all my old perceptions of an old angry petty cosmic tyrant were false because I hadn't allowed for the cultural/historical differences, and because I was too proud to admit being wrong. It took me 20 years to come to this conclusion. It couldn't happen overnight, and that's why I don't try to convince you in one argument. I give you small snippets to mentally chew on. Only you can decide if your mind is open enough to consider putting your stereotypes aside. I can't decide for you or tell you what to do. I can only tell you what worked for me.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences one of the larges bodies of scientist world wide fully support evolution. It is the "dominate stance" among earth and life scientists world wide. A survey of 480,000 earth and life scientist found only 5% believe in theistic evolution, the rest believe that evolution is a natural processes.
This large body of scientists also completely reject any I.D. beliefs because it is simply NOT science. I.D. can NOT be tested by experiment, generates NO predictions and proposes NO hypothesis of their own.
A 2009 Pew Research Poll found that 97% of ALL scientists support evolution, 87% say the the processes of evolution are not Theistic but are due to natural processes such as natural selection. If you further want to claim these natural processes are God driven, you need to produce verifiable evidence.
The dominant position in the scientific community is that all living things have evolved due to a natural process. That view is shared by only 1/3 of the public, 32%. Why is that? Could it be religion. That people are so brainwashed that they completely ignore what 87%, the MAJORITY, the DOMINANT STANCE", of ALL earth and life scientists WORLD-WIDE claim to be factual. I find this one of the most compelling examples of how religion poisons everything.

Sorry to be "Vague" but my last pot and this post are very specific.
The American Association For The Advancement Of Science is the worlds largest scientific society with more than 130,000 members and more than 262 affiliated societies and academies of science that includes over 10 million members. This body overwhelmingly accepts and supports evolution. Of course it goes without saying, or maybe not, that anyone who supports the fact of evolution also supports a process that has been operating for millions of years. So we can add this huge body of scientist as supporting a process than spans millions of years.

Chesapeake moving jobs to Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. Thursday announced it plans to downsize its Charleston, W.Va., regional corporate headquarters to a field office and move many of the top jobs to Oklahoma City.
"Approximately 215 of the current 255 Charleston-based positions will be either moved to Oklahoma City or eliminated, with approximately 40 positions remaining in Charleston as part of the regional field office," the company said in a news release. Positions that will be relocated to Oklahoma City include management of Chesapeake's eastern division land, legal, accounting, information technology, geoscience and engineering departments, the company said. "We believe that the collaboration afforded by having our teams of landmen, geoscientists, engineers and senior management working in close proximity on our Oklahoma City campus will promote quicker and improved decision-making and improve execution and responsiveness as we move forward with the nation's highest-potential drilling program," said Steven C. Dixon, Chesapeake's executive vice president — operations and chief operating officer. Tom Price Jr., Chesapeake's senior vice president of corporate development, said the exact number of jobs that will be moved to Oklahoma City is in flux because numerous employees are considering relocation offers. "I think the number is going to be substantial," Price said, adding the reorganization should be completed by June 30. Company officials cited both anticipated efficiencies and disappointment over the West Virginia Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal of an adverse $404 million jury verdict as factoring in the decision to move. Chesapeake inherited a role as a defendant in a class-action lawsuit when it purchased Columbia Natural Resources in 2005 for $2.
