Dina Powell at Goldman Sachs
Dina Powell is going to save the world? The evil geniuses at Goldman Sachs are planning to thwart their image as soulless greed hounds and are doing so with the assistance of Dina Habib Powell. She will head up their effort in addition to her role as a managing partner.
Their initiative actually sounds good if it is for real. They will invest in 10,000 small businesses with grants and loans totalling $300,000,000 and some GS employees will be involved in a mentoring program. (Just don’t teach the the dark side, ok?) The program is an obvious effort to make up for the news of GS profiting like gang busters in the midst of this recession, (nothing wrong with profits just greediness) and holding up $16.7 billion to compensate employees which is up $4.3 billion from 2008. It is good to be GS!
Powell when confronted with a question if the firm is trying to bolster its image replied, “We’ve been working on these kinds of initiatives that use our resources and our people and our convening power to make a serious impact.” Oh yes they always make a serious impact. I wonder how many ex-Goldman Sachs employees are in the Obama administration?
Lloyd Bankfein CEO Goldman Sachs. Looks like a guy who would lend you the shirt off his back at 1000% interest!
Tokyo Earthquake 6.9 in Magnitude
Tokyo, the capital of Japan experienced an earthquake of 6.9 magnitude today. There was no significant damage as the epicenter was a small island approximately 192 miles from the coast. There are no tsunami warnings as a result either. So it seems the Tokyo Earthquake was just was a shaker and not a heart breaker.
Mini Pygmy Kittens
Mini Pygmy Kittens , I don’t think so they look like piglets to me. The Brits most intelligent man has come up with a breed of hand size piglets and has a new litter of eight of the little buggers. Why do you want a pig that won’t even make it to bacon? I don’t know but they are extremely cute and cuddly if you don’t mind oinking. Maybe the Mini Pygmy Kittens are next! These piglets were bred in Devon, UK and sell for a lot more than a few pounds. Oh did I say that?
