Big Bank Phobia: Liquidity, Stupid, Not Just Capital
The Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is designed to ensure "that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that can be converted into cash easily and immediately in private markets to meet its liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario," according to the Basel Committee's statement in January.
The LCR will be introduced in January 2015, with a 60% minimum, rising by 10% a year until January 2019, when the requirement will be 100%.
The LCR is specifically designed to prevent immediate funding blowups of the type experienced by Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. The required coverage of liquidity needs for 30 days will allow enough time for regulators to implement an affected bank's approved orderly liquidation process, or "living will," as required by Dodd-Frank.
In his report on May 3, Mosby called liquidity "an underappreciated survival tool" for large banks, and said that "by the end of 2008, our Large Cap Banks' coverage of a retail run on the bank had fallen below 100%."
Of course, the government took very significant steps during the crisis to mitigate the risk of bank runs. The FDIC temporarily waived all limits on deposit insurance for most checking accounts, while eventually making permanent an increase in the basic deposit insurance limit to $250,000 from $100,000. According to Mosby, "the coverage ratio for a retail run on the Large Cap Banks has risen to above 150%, the highest level we have seen in the 2000s." A retail run on deposits is a banker's worst nightmare, and it has been a very rare event in the United States for quite some time, with the FDIC taking a lot of the credit. "Additionally, wholesale and institutional coverage ratios have improved from below 200% to around 400% today," according to Mosby. The most important liquidity measure for banks when trying to curtail systemic risk is "a wholesale or institutional run on the bank," Mosby wrote. "If a bank's wholesale or institutional coverage ratio falls too far and a bank's marketable assets begin to become less liquid, it could be forced to use the Fed to cover any significant loss of funding. Ensuring that the Large Cap Banks have excess liquidity is a component of getting the government out of making Large Cap Banks too Big to Fail."The Bottom Line
So much of the "too big to fail" problem has been caused by the reliance of some banks on short-term funding, and the immediate drying up of that funding, from all sources, when things turn sour. The largest U.S. banks all have significant deposit bases now, including Goldman and Morgan Stanley, which converted to traditional bank holding company structures in 2008. U.S. bank regulators can implement minimum short-term liquidity requirements in excess of those envisioned under Basel III, and they can do it well in advance of the planned implementation of the Basel III LCR. And the Federal Reserve can incorporate liquidity stress testing into its next annual round of large-bank stress tests, beginning next March, showing Washington and the public that it is doing everything it can to prevent another industry bailout. -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email.

Report before I forget - Tofu on 7th Park Slope

- Follow
Just had a very tasty meal in this tiny place. All dishes - dry pot lamb, with garlic, lots of chiles and szechuan peppercorn, sliced bamboo shoot and leek, the double cooked fish in a chile-oil sauce with leeks and an off-menu sauteed chinese broccoli were all very good. Mostly takeout but we enjoyed eating in and the friendly waitress. Nice that they let us bring in drinks, and a pleasant enhancement to the neighborhood which hasn't had a chinese restaurant worth patronizing for many years.
Tofu on 7th
226 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
A fairly long thread has developed on the renaissance of Tofu as a "Authentic Szechuan" restaurant appears here:
We've been enjoying the twice-cooked fish and the sauteed pea shoots. The mapo tofu is also quite good, but the dandan noodles most have found disappointing. I hope the chef introduces
a few new dishes soon.Given how many have added to the above thread, I'm surprised I haven't seen more people eating in. I guess the ambiance of the place encourages most to take-out.
re: famdoc
whle small and formica, Tofu on 7th is perfectly acceptable for eating in - husband appreciated being able to bring in his beer to drink. the food is always going to be better eating in in a chinese place - I cant imagine the delightful 5-spice tinged wok fragrance of our lamb dish surviving the 10 min at least that a delivery item would take from wok to table.
re: SamScaff
not really, but I agree the food is still good - our leftovers certainly were.
just recommending that for the best experience going in there and not just using delivery is worth it.0-
re: jen kalb
agreed it's better eaten in, but for me the best thing about this place is that it delivers to my house! I guess I feel like if I'm going to get in my car, I might as well go to one of the better ones that are further afield.
But so happy to have them around to deliver. Got delivery again last night--the three pepper chicken was delicious and very spicy and the mapo tofu as good as always.0 -
re: SamScaff
Fried food tastes best when it comes out of the pan. The longer it sits around, the more it loses flavor.
0 -
re: SamScaff
Wok hay is ephemeral - it disappears really fast - which is a good reason to taste your chinese dishes when they hit the table and will still burn your lips. This observation came from our enjoyment of the dry pot lamb which tasted and smelled just wonderful when first delivered. It was still great but not as exciting even 2 mins later. Looking at the row of delivery bags waiting for pickup we concluded we were glad to be sitting right there. Im sure this food is just great on delivery and there are lots of compensating convenience factors but no one should think that this or any other chinese food will be AS good on takeout.
PS thanks for flagging this restaurant in the first place on these Boards.

GEORGE TOWN: The state government has proposed a ban to stop foreigners from being the "main cooks" of popular local dishes in order to preserve the authenticity of taste.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) and Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) have been instructed to carry out a study and gather feedback.
"They will get feedback from hawkers, food operators and the public before a set of rules is drafted. Among the action to be taken could be revoking the hawker's licence," he said.
The suggestion was made by Lim out of concern that the state's reputation for good street food would be affected if it was prepared by Vietnamese, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, Thai, Indonesian or Indian nationals.
"We need to ensure the authentic flavour of our char koay teow, assam laksa, chee cheong fun, Hokkien prawn mee, nasi kandar and nasi dalca.
"This is a way to protect the state's food heritage," he said at a press conference here yesterday.
Lim said a recent check at 100 food courts and hawker complexes by the MPPP showed that there were 119 foreign kitchen helpers hired by the hawkers, adding that the figure could be higher as some might not have the actual number of foreigners being employed.
A check by The Star at Cecil Street Food Court showed that even hawkers are for the ban.
Char koay teow seller Tan Bak Juah, 60, is of the opinion that "only a local" could fry the best plate of the flat rice noodle.
"I've been selling this item for the past 40 years, and I've never hired a foreigner.
"Even if we teach foreigners to cook, the taste will be different as it will be hard for them to control the fire and maintain our traditional flavour," he said.
Tan Boon Chye, 55, said he has two foreigners helping at his popiah and chee cheong fun stall, but they do not cook.
There are those, however, who oppose the proposed ban.
Wan tan noodle seller Vernie Lim, who employs a Myanmar national as her assistant cook, said the most important thing was the worker's attitude, and not his nationality.
"I know the feeling of being discriminated against, so I'd like to give my workers equal chance if they do well," she said at her stall in Macalister Road here.
A nasi kandar restaurant supervisor from India said the owner employed mostly foreigners to cook.
"Our boss will only be at the restaurant once in a while, and it is impossible for him not to employ foreigners as we need a lot of staff to run the restaurant."

"Activities" section[edit]
I tagged this section. A summary of what he does for a living would be appropriate but not where he goes on speaking tours, etc., especially as he's made about a hundred other speaking engagements, and continues to do so. Can't post them all. Not appropriate for a BLP.Malke 2010 (talk) 23:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I've reverted the following insertion:
According to multiple media reports, Rove is an atheist.[1][2][3]
First of all, all three of these "sources" are really the same source -- they're all citing the first, Christopher Hitchens in New York Magazine. So we could perhaps say "Hitchens claims Rove is an atheist", but that wouldn't even be correct; at most, given the language of the interview, we can say "Hitchens claims Rove is not a believer", a far weaker claim. --jpgordon::==( o ) 01:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
University/Alma Mater[edit]
According to Karl Rove in numerous interviews he does not have a degree from any of the Universities at which he attended. The words "Alma Mater" should be removed from his bio as they are used for a person who graduated from school. The words should be replaced with something suitable such as "Attended" or "Studied at". Tiberiusuhl (talk) 21:21, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Can you point us to a Wikipedia policy or guideline supporting your opinion expressed above? Fat&Happy (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
I concur with Tiberiusuhl, I believe that the user Fat & Happy is engaging in willful subterfuge by trying to falsely imply that merely attending an institution for a brief time or limited number of courses imbues unearned authority to an individual - Attended is much more accurate than Alma Matter (common usage implies graduation with degree, not merely attending, or auditing a class or two)... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Triakis (talk • contribs) 18:31, 28 July 2012 (UTC)<Triakis (talk) 18:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)>
- Alma mater can be legitimately used for merely studying/attending at an institution of higher learning not just graduating although graduating from the university is usually expected before someone calls it their alma mater. C6541 (T↔C) 16:48, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
- Alma Mater, "nourishing mother", is a term used for the university one attends or has attended. Another university term, matriculation, is also derived from mater. The term suggests that the students are "fed" knowledge and taken care of by the university. ```Buster Seven Talk 14:52, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Nothing about his memoir?[edit]
I don't see it mentioned in here at all. The memoir that he made, Courage and Consequences. J390 (talk) 05:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
I apologize, it is mentioned, but not enough detail is given into it, the statements made in the book. J390 (talk) 05:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Citation for Karl Rove's 1972 interview with CBS News[edit]
Under the heading College Republicans, Watergate, and the Bushes, line, A CBS report on the organization of the Nixon campaign from June 1972 includes an interview with a young Rove working for the College Republican National Committee.
Line listed as "Citation Needed." Found original CBS report on youtube, timestamped where Karl Rove appears.
- After discussion with the above IP in #wikipedia-en-help, I suggested the IP post the link here for review instead of inserting it into the article directly, since we don't generally approve of youtube links. However, this appears to be the legitimate primary source for the claim, so I think it can be cited. Keegan (talk) 08:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Incomplete article[edit]
Just read this PBS transcript and it seems the article lacks many aspects of Rove's ascendance. Kahlores (talk) 00:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip. If you let me know some particular highlights that warrant inclusion, I'll attempt to integrate them into the article. Safehaven86 (talk) 02:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Reading this article it is impossible to discern why he is an ultra political conservative. I think the article needs some evidence from his memoirs or something to give readers knowledge of his cause for partisanship. Karl is a heavyweight advisor, i am sure some of his most influential 'advice' warrants enclosure. This guy has been one of the architect of modern conservatism for good or worse, so such scrutiny is definitely needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 06:09, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Explaining why Mr Rove is an 'ultra conservative' would inevitably lead to an analysis of the entire psychological phenomenon of the 'closeted conservative' which the RNC has in profusion, but googling for the image of his father's perculiar piercing proclivities which were featured on the front cover of a fetish magazine might help to explain a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:27, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Denial of Fox News Results[edit]
His performance with the female reporter saying "Is that just some mathematics you do as a Republican ..." is probably the most notable event of the election. How can there be no mention of this? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- I was about to say the same thing.ElectroPro (talk) 20:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Of course, any such mention would have been quickly scrubbed by Rove & co. inc. Just like any mention of the allegations by Anonymous of Rove's computer theft of the 2004 Ohio vote count, and the attempted theft of the 2012 Ohio vote count. The Wikipedia page will only approach real accuracy once Rove is finally in jail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
NO Mention At All about Rove's involvement in the 2012 US Presidential campaign super pac for Romney?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 09:14, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Nothing about his religion?[edit]
It would be nice to add something about this as conservatives generally find this area quite important.18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:22, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Former FBI Agent Warns of Cyber-Threat, Asks Hackers for Help at Black Hat
Former FBI Agent Warns of Cyber-Threat, Asks Hackers for Help at Black Hat
Sean M. Kerner
Posted 2012-07-25
A former FBI executive director asked hackers to join the U.S. government as it tackles new cyber-security threats that jeopardize the country's security and infrastructure.
LAS VEGAS The United States is at war in the cyber-theater, and its a pervasive threat that all Americans need to take seriously. Thats the message from a former, high-ranking FBI agent, who delivered a July 25 keynote address at the Black Hat conference here. For 24 years, Shawn Henry worked in the FBI, and served in a number of different positions in the agency. His last position at the FBI was as the executive director, and he now is in the private sector as president of Crowdstrike services.
We need warriors to fight our enemies, Henry told the capacity Black Hat audience of more than 6,500 computer security professionals.
To start his keynote, Henry delved into the history of the FBI, which has investigated a number of different crimes throughout its history, ranging from illegal drugs, to organized crime to bank robberies. The agency has also focused on other issues, such as foreign spy rings, but the FBIs main focus during the last few years has been terrorism. Now, however, that focus is turning more toward the mounting threats from cyber-crime, cyber-terrorism and cyber-espionage. In my career, Ive seen lots of similarities between the physical and the cyber-world; certainly the tactics are different, but the theory is the same, said Henry. Its not computers attacking computers; were talking about humans behind keyboards targeting you. In Henrys view, the threat of a cyber-attack should not be under-estimated.
I believe that the threat from computer network attack is the most significant threat we face as a society, Henry said. Other than a weapon of mass destruction, I think its the most significant threat there is. Part of that threat comes from the fact that now almost all data is stored and transmitted electronically. Its also easier than ever, for a cyber-attacker to get started than it would be to wage a traditional kinetic attack. Cyber is the great equalizer, according to Henry. With a $500 laptop, anyone can attack us just sitting in their pajamas anywhere in the world. There are terrorist groups online now calling for the use of cyber as a weapon, said Henry. I believe if we wait, its too late. Its a threat and something we need to be aware off now. From a defensive perspective, Henry said that it is important to have a defense-in-depth approach. That said, he noted that approach is failing today as it focuses solely on perimeter defense. Its not the secret sauce; its just a piece of a holistic approach, said Henry. Henry noted that he assumes that there are terrorists in this country and he knows the government cant prevent them from getting over the border. The key to preventing them from doing anything bad is intelligence. Intelligence is the key, whether the threat is from spies, terrorists or cyber-hackers, said Henry. In Henrys view, you have to be proactive and be aware of the adversaries so that you can take them out of the fight. He stressed that he personally is not advocating for hacking activities against other countries. He believes that we can all be proactive on our own network segments and create a hostile network for the adversary to work in. Your data is being held hostage, and the life of your data is at risk, said Henry. As elite cyber-warriors can have an impact, the stakes are high. Henry suggested that were in a historic time, and the actions that are taken today will define where we are in 20 years from a security perspective. The government is not able to independently solve this problem, and civilians are on the front line of the battle every day, said Henry. I believe that our failure to step up now will be a failure for society.

Curt Smith (born 24 June 1961, Bath, Somerset, England) is an English musician. He is best known for forming the band Tears for Fears, along with childhood friend Roland Orzabal. Also a solo artist, he has released four full-length albums.
Smith met Roland Orzabal when both were teenagers. They first formed a band in their teens, for which Smith taught himself to play bass guitar. They next formed the ska influenced band Graduate,[1] who released their only album in 1980 achieving minor success in Europe.
Around this time, Smith and Orzabal also became session musicians for the band Neon. Fellow band members included Pete Byrne and Rob Fisher who went on to become the duo Naked Eyes.
After Graduate and Neon disbanded, Smith and Orzabal founded Tears for Fears in 1981. Their debut album, 1983's The Hurting, reached no.1 in the UK and produced three international hit singles – "Mad World", "Change", and "Pale Shelter" – each with lead vocals performed by Smith.
Their 1985 album Songs from the Big Chair was even more successful, yielding hits including "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" (with Smith again on lead vocals), "Shout," and "Head Over Heels" (which Smith co-wrote).
The duo spent the next several years recording their 1989 album The Seeds of Love, which proved to be another international best-seller. Smith's last single as a lead vocalist with the group (and his only lead vocal track on the album) was "Advice For The Young At Heart". Following another world tour, increasing tensions between himself and Orzabal prompted Smith to leave the band in 1991 and he moved to New York.
In 2000, routine legal paperwork obligations led to Orzabal and Smith's first conversation in nearly a decade.[2] The two patched up their differences and, along with Smith's associate Charlton Pettus, began writing a new album – Everybody Loves a Happy Ending – released in 2004. Prior to this, "Mad World" was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack of film Donnie Darko. It was released as a single and reached no.1 in the UK during Christmas 2003. The single re-ignited interest in the group's earlier work and their 1992 Greatest Hits album was re-released and re-entered the UK Top 10 for several weeks, garnering its second UK platinum disc.
After leaving Tears for Fears, Smith released his first solo album, Soul on Board, in 1993. The album was unsuccessful in the UK, and was not released at all in the U.S.
Smith later claimed that he made the album purely to fulfill his record contract with Phonogram/Mercury.
After moving to New York, Smith formed the band Mayfield with guitarist-producer Charlton Pettus and which also featured Russ Irwin. According to Smith, the name of the band was a play on words (Curt is Mayfield) based on the name of the legendary American soul singer Curtis Mayfield. The band was mostly a live act but did release a self-titled album in 1997, which met with little success. Smith later released the album Aeroplane under his own name. In the U.S., this was a six song EP, but in Canada and elsewhere, it was essentially the earlier Mayfield album combined with additional songs from the U.S. EP.
In October 2011, Smith announced on his website that he will re-release the Mayfield album on 15 November 2011.[3] The new release, on his KOOK Media label, will include a bonus version of the song "Trees" featuring Janice Whaley.
During 2000, Smith began work on what was to become Halfway, Pleased, but the project was put on hold when he re-established contact with Roland Orzabal again after almost a decade of silence. Their conversations culminated in Tears for Fears reforming for 2004's Everybody Loves a Happy Ending which led to a worldwide tour, so it wasn't until 2006 that Smith resumed work on Halfway, Pleased. The semi-autobiographical album explores Smith's relationships with his children, parents and friends.
In April 2007, French record label XIII Bis Records released Halfway, Pleased in France. Its 14 tracks included the original version of "Who You Are" (which was recorded by Tears for Fears on Everybody Loves a Happy Ending); a live version of "Snow Hill" from the 2005 Tears for Fears UK tour; the single version of "Seven Of Sundays" (also recorded as a duet with French singer SO); and a cover of "On Ira Tous au Paradis" (also available on A Tribute to Polnareff). Two music videos were made for "Seven of Sundays" – one as a solo track, and one as the duet with SO.
All the songs except "Seven of Sundays" were co-written by Smith and Pettus. The solo version of "Seven of Sundays" was co-written by Pettus and Chesney Hawkes; Smith and Sophie Saillet helped adapt the song for the duet version.
Smith finally released the album in the U.S. and the rest of the world in May 2008 via his own KOOK Media label.[4] The KOOK release features a slightly different track listing, eliminating the Polnareff tribute and adding two new acoustic tracks ("Coming Out" and "Seven of Sundays"). It was released under a Creative Commons license[5] which allows fans to distribute, perform and use the songs so long as the uses are non-commercial and attributed to Smith.
Smith has made limited live concert appearances in the Los Angeles area to support Halfway, pleased. In January 2009, he announced that he will perform a weekly residency at The Standard Hollywood in West Hollywood, CA during the month of February 2009.[6] He announced in mid-February that The Standard had asked him to extend through March 2009 and he agreed.[7] He played a similar residency there in October 2008.
In July, 2013 it was announced that Smith would release his fourth solo album, his first since 2008.[8] The album was released on July 16, 2013.[9]
In January 2010, Smith released the standalone single "All Is Love (featuring Zoë Keating)," the first track in what he says will be an album-length project of collaborations with artists he meets via social media.[10] Smith met Keating, an avant-garde cellist, via Twitter. The second track in the series, "Perfectly...Still (featuring Universal Hall Pass)" was released in August 2010.[11] A fan of Smith's suggested the collaboration via Twitter; Smith contacted UHP (aka Melissa R. Kaplan) via the MySpace service. As of January 2012 Smith's site lacks any specific details but claims "More tracks coming in 2011!".[12]
Smith occasionally collaborates with other artists. He worked with the French singer So (Sophie Saillet) providing vocals on her track "Les Autres", and the pair worked together again on Smith's track "Seven of Sundays" (Saillet also appeared in both videos for the song). Smith is also featured on The Shadow Bureau's 2011 track "Don't Give Yourself Away" with artist Linda Strawberry,[13] inspired by the 2010 Australian film Griff the Invisible. In May 2011, Smith tweeted that he was working on a track with JunkieXL[14] which features on JXL's album Synthesized.
Smith and longtime collaborator Charlton Pettus composed and recorded the score for the 2011 film Meth Head, starring Lukas Haas.[15] Smith contributed an original song, "This Is Christmas", to an episode of the fifth season of the USA Network series Psych.[16]
In August 2010, Smith debuted a live music web series, "Stripped Down Live With Curt Smith",[17] which he produces along with his manager Arlene Wszalek and Streamin' Garage CEO Mike Rotman. Each episode is devoted to a single featured artist. The band or musician plays acoustic versions of their songs (the show is streamed live via UStream); Smith interviews them between sets, as well as taking viewer questions via Skype and the show's chat room. Smith's guests have included Hypnogaja, Carina Round Chris Pierce, Peter Himmelman, Common Rotation, Gary Jules, All Day Sucker, The Daylights, Matthew Sweet, The Fallen Stars, Nightmare & The Cat, Whiskey Saints, Fitz & The Tantrums and Friendly Indians. As of January 2011, Smith has said that he won't do another season of the series.[18]
Smith is an avid user and advocate of social media.[10] Since 2008, he has been asked to speak at a variety of social media, technology and creative conferences, including 140TC,[19] the Creative Commons Los Angeles Salon,[20] the 2010 ITV Fest,[21] TEDxHollywood,[22] and TEDxSF.[23] He has also guest-lectured at the USC Annenberg School's graduate Online Communities program.[24]
Smith has also tried his hand at acting. He had a minor role as a desk clerk in The Dead Connection (1994), had a more significant role as a professor in 2000's The Private Public.[25][26] Smith made a surprise appearance to open Psych's 2010 Comic Con panel,[27] where he sang onstage with Psych co-stars James Roday and Dulé Hill. He then appeared, as himself, in the "Psych" episode "Shawn 2.0".[28] His single "This is Christmas" later appeared in the episode "The Polarizing Express".[29] He again appeared as himself in the show's 100th episode, "100 Clues", in March 2013. He also appeared in the episode "A Nightmare On State Street" as himself.
In May 2009, Smith performed at the Artist for the Arts Foundation benefit at Barnum Hall, Santa Monica High School, Santa Monica, California. Performing live, alongside Colin Hay (Men At Work), Fee Waybill (The Tubes) & Venice (Crazy On You) and over 70 members of the Santa Monica High School (SaMoHi) Orchestra and Girls Choir, the benefit helped to provide funds for the continuation of Music Education in public schools. The event was filmed and recorded by Harry Rabin of On the WAVE Productions and can be seen on the AFTA Foundation website.
Smith grew up in Bath, England, and lived on the Snow Hill council estate (subject of the track "Snow Hill"). He attended the Beechen Cliff School.
Smith has been married twice. His first wife was Lynda "Lynne" Altman, whom he married in 1982. They divorced in 1988, and he then began a relationship with marketing executive Laura "Frances" Pennington. They married in 1996 and now reside in Los Angeles with their two daughters, Diva and Wilder, born in 1999 and 2001.[30] Smith became a naturalised U.S. citizen in 2007. He is a fan of Manchester United and Los Angeles Galaxy.[31]

Wednesday practice update
Posted by Rob Moseley
HEADLINES: Oregon's offense remained in black jerseys for another morning practice in the Mo Center in full pads, as a reward for winning Saturday's competition periods, but that won't be the case for long if a recent trend continues. After controlling play Monday, the Ducks' defenders again had a strong practice this morning, and will look to claim the black jerseys during the team's next competition day, Friday. "I thought our defense has responded really well, on Monday and today," UO coach Chip Kelly said. "The offense needs to come to play Friday."
The first-string defense in particular had a strong practice, as Darron Thomas and the No. 1 offense didn't establish much momentum during the second half of the morning (I arrived late due to "personal issues," meaning misplaced keys). The No. 2 offense led by Bryan Bennett had much more sustained success, but the day ended with an overtime drill, and neither offense was able to get into the end zone. Playing against the No. 2 defense, Thomas and the ones on offense managed only one positive play, a seven-yard LaMichael James run, before settling for a 40-yard field goal that was pushed right by Rob Beard. The twos also settled for a field-goal attempt of 40 yards, after Kenjon Barner also rushed for a net gain of seven yards on two carries, but Alejandro Maldonado made that kick.
The work on placekicking was just one new twist seen today, as previous special teams periods had been spent on punts and kickoffs, that I've seen. Also, a video staffer spent several periods standing behind the offense filming plays with a small camera mounted on a long boom that he held perpendicular to the ground. Earlier this spring the Ducks had rolled a scissor-lift onto the field to get video from that high angle, but today they went with the new camera mount. Kelly said the Ducks wanted video from that angle after appreciating the footage collected by cameras mounted on zip lines above the field for ABC and ESPN games, and particularly the view they provide of the quarterback as he reads the defense.
Today featured one of the more jarring hits of the spring, as Kiko Alonso smacked Brandon Williams early on and Williams was slow to get up, eventually watching the end of practice with his pads off. (I missed it, but heard about it from others). Kelly said he was comfortable with that level of contact, even though it's relatively uncommon in Oregon's practices. "It was a clean shot," Kelly said. "I just don't want people diving and leaving their feet." With Williams sidelined, Curtis White moved up the ladder, and Colt Lyerla also got his most substantial work yet in team situations with the No. 2 offense.
PLAYS OF THE DAY: Of the portions of practice I watched, many of the highlights came during a 7-on-7 drill that was conducted in the red zone. In a three-play sequence, Bennett completed a touchdown pass to Daryle Hawkins despite blanket coverage from Brian Jackson, found a wide-open Nick Cole after checking through his progression and then threw a pass away out the back of the end zone after finding nobody open. Three plays, three great decisions. Later in the drill he found Kenny Bassett up the sideline and Eric Dungy over the middle for touchdowns; there's no quarterback controversy at Oregon, but the Ducks sure have a good one as the backup to Thomas.
DEPTH CHART SHUFFLING: There's a lot of mixing and matching going on up front on offense, which might explain why they've been a little disjointed the last couple days. Ryan Clanton got quite a few reps at left tackle with the ones, and Nick Cody was playing right guard at times with that group. Michael Clay wasn't doing full-contact stuff, so Dewitt Stuckey moved over to WILL linebacker with the No. 1 defense and Kiko Alonso played MIKE. Given the Ducks' wealth of talent at corner and unexpected losses at safety this offseason (Javes Lewis, Marcus Davis) there figured to be a corner or two who was tried at safety, and it looked like Avery Patterson did today. Troy Hill got some reps with the No. 1 defense, a taste of top competition for the redshirt freshman, and he made a nice play breaking up a pass from Thomas to Josh Huff. Hill looks like yet another guy who can provide depth at corner along with Patterson, Scott Grady and Terrance Mitchell.
UP NEXT: The Ducks return to the practice field Friday morning for another competition day.

Thanks rob, what time is friday morning's competition?
awesome write up Rob
count me in for the Kiko fan club - I think we all want to see some of that against LSU
Rob, do any of the young receivers look as talented as Maehl in practice so far?
James, Salem
Great stuff. Keep feeding the beast.
With the exception of Terrell Turner, are there any other guys not participating in spring drills due to injury?
Justin, PDX Rock Bottom
Awesome updates as usual, Rob. Your info keeps me looking like a genius among my less informed Ducks fans. This IPA is for you!
Jay, Atlanta
Rob, How did Seastrunk look today? Also, do you know if the Ducks will use the combat uniforms this year?
Do you think we'll have another 65+ reception receiver or will it be a lot more balanced.
Joe, Eugene
One thing I hate about spring reports is that I never know if I should be excited about the D line or worried about the O Line or the other way around.
mauidanp, work
Is the small camera being used a GoPro? Those things are amazing and after being developed for "action sports" they are now popping up everywhere for their awesome HD video with wide angle in a tiny little low cost camera. I have seen some great surf, snow and other videos made on them. I bet they would be ideal for filming practice on the end of a very long boom. This is a promo of what they can do:
I don't have one yet but am hoping to get one very soon…
and this is the best use of a GoPro I have yet to see:
Is there a reason Weems isn't playing left tackle with the ones?
AugustDuck, Planet Earth
How is Dior Mathis looking so far this Spring?
thanks just hadn't seen any reports on him. Also was curious as to how Everett Benard was looking this spring?
Pete, Portland
What happened with Marcus Davis?
Any Hamani Stevens sightings?
Rob, how's the center position shaping up? Anything new to report?
ResilientDuck, Portland
Keep up the good work, Rob. As long as you're getting inundated with questions, I've got one for ya: Did your dog eat your keys? ;)
RPC, eug
Hey Rob, Do we need to start a carpool to avoid anymore "personal issues"? Did Chip make you run laps after practice?
Bill, LasVegas
Does anyone know a latest up date on T Turner?
Driedout Webbing, Nogales, AZ
Yea, Turner is in a cast and on crutches, but, according to Kelly, is "day-to-day". :-)
Seabass, Southern Oregon
Great insight Rob! It is great to see Bennett performing so well, could prove to be the most important position on the team. Backup QB is not thought of until the starter stays down after a play. I've seen it a hundred times. I love to see the Ducks with a great 1-2 punch at QB.
Terrysheldon, Eugene
Nice job Rob. Very well done.
You could tie your keys to your belt buckle with fishing line.
Go Ducks!!! Roooaaaar!!!! and Quack.
Dusty, springfield, Oregon
Hey rob just wondering how is dior mathis doing. Thanks
bducck, school
What time and where is Saturday's practice, and is it open to the public?
Don't cut corners on the clock Chip. If you get 37 in where you thought you would get 30 and you have ten minutes to spare. USE THE TIME. Better and extra minute than come up a minute short. What the brain learns today, the body can apply tomorrow.

I'm trying to use memcache for the first time on App Engine and am hitting a "PicklingError".
The first place I've tried memcache is on the site's home page where I grab content from the datastore:
def get(self):
content = memcache.get('home:content')
if content is None:
all_content = Content.all()
all_content.filter('published =', True)
content = all_content.run(batch_size=5, limit=5)
memcache.add(key='home:content', value=content, time=120)
(Note that this works fine without me trying to put the content Query object into memcache. Here's the error it hits on the last line (memcache.add...):
PicklingError: Pickling of datastore_query.Batcher is unsupported.
Here's the model for Content:
class Content(db.Model):
category = db.StringProperty(required = True)
content_type = db.StringProperty(required = True)
published = db.BooleanProperty(default = False)
title = db.StringProperty(required = True)
abstract = db.TextProperty(required = True)
summary = db.TextProperty(required = True)
URL = db.LinkProperty(required = True)
youtube_id = db.StringProperty(required = False)
thumbnail = db.LinkProperty(required = True)
post_author = db.StringProperty(required = True)
author_url = db.LinkProperty(required = False)
date_post = db.DateTimeProperty(required = True, auto_now_add = True)
date_source = db.DateTimeProperty(required = False)
# todo: split out to use decent shardedcounter approach
views = db.IntegerProperty(default = 0)
up_votes = db.IntegerProperty(default = 0)
down_votes = db.IntegerProperty(default = 0)
def votes(self):
return self.up_votes - self.down_votes
I'm struggling to figure out what a PicklingError is and how that might relate to trying to store a Query object into memcache. My questions: What am I doing wrong? Is this because I'm trying to cache the iterator? Is there any value in caching the Query object and needing to call .run() on it every page load?

Tourism in Hong Kong
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2010) |
The tourism industry has been an important part of the economy of Hong Kong since it shifted to a service sector model in the late 1980s and early 90s. There has been a sharp increase of tourists from Mainland China, due to the introduction of the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) in 2003.
The total tourism expenditure associated with inbound tourism reached HK$7,333 per capita in 2011. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) Overall visitor arrivals to Hong Kong in 2010 totalled just over 36 million, a 21.8% increase over the previous year. The numbers included approximately 22.5 million mainland Chinese arrivals, 8.2 million short-haul (excluding Mainland) arrivals, and 4.8 million long-haul arrivals.[1] In July 2011 more than 3.8 million visitors arrived in Hong Kong, equivalent to more than half of Hong Kong's population and setting an outright record for a single month.[2]
Along with the strong growth in the number of Mainland visitors, most other long and short-haul markets are also performing healthily with double-digit growth over 2006. Among long-haul markets, Europe, Africa and the Middle East took the lead with arrivals of 1,916,861, an 11.1% increase that made this Hong Kong's best-performing market region in 2006.
While facing increasing competition from Mainland cities and Macau, the Hong Kong Tourism Board works closely with authorities and trade to make Hong Kong an essential component in all combo and multi-destination itineraries.
Tourism, along with international trade and financial services are the three main sources of income for Hong Kong.
Accommodation and length of stay[edit]
In December 2006, there were 612 hotels and tourist guest houses in Hong Kong, with 52,512 rooms. The average occupancy rate across all categories of hotels and tourist guesthouses was 87% for the whole of 2006, a one-percentage-point growth compared with 2005 despite the 7.4% increase in Hong Kong's room supply between December 2005 and December 2006. During 2006, 62.7% of all visitors stayed one night or longer, which is a trend reflecting Hong Kong's increasing importance as a regional transport hub.
Tourism Commission[edit]
The Tourism Commission was established in May 1999 to promote Hong Kong as Asia's premier international city for all visitors. A Tourism Strategy Group, comprising representatives from the Government, the HKTB and various sectors of the tourism industry has been established to advise the Government on tourism development from a strategic perspective.
Top 15 most visiting nationalities[edit]
Data from HKTB[3]
Rank | Country | 2013 | Percentage |
1 | China | 17,089,509 | 66.6% |
2 | United States | 786,359 | 3.1% |
3 | Taiwan | 785,678 | 3.1% |
4 | South Korea | 745,367 | 2.9% |
5 | Japan | 607,877 | 2.4% |
6 | Philippines | 584,727 | 2.3% |
7 | Singapore | 521,620 | 2.0% |
8 | Australia | 476,324 | 1.9% |

14 | Canada | 246,679 | 1.0% |
15 | France | 163,596 | 0.6% |
Attractions and facilities[edit]
Almost any of the districts of Hong Kong can be considered a tourist destination. The following locations are areas generally marked as main attractions.
Hong Kong Island[edit]
Including New Kowloon
New Territories[edit]
Including the Outlying Islands
Accessing Hong Kong[edit]
To facilitate entry of visitors, various measures were introduced in 2002. The quota of the Hong Kong Tour Group Scheme of Mainland visitors has been abolished since January 2002. The number of Mainland travel agents authorised to organise such tours has also increased significantly. Nationals from some 170 countries can visit Hong Kong visa free for period from seven days to 180 days. The Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) was introduced on 28 July 2003. The Scheme has been gradually extended and now covers Guangdong province, Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Tianjin and nine cities in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In 2006, over 6.6 million Mainland citizens travelled to Hong Kong under the IVS, which is 20.2% more than 2005.
The HKTB continues to promote the destination to business and leisure travellers through its worldwide "Hong Kong – Live it, Love it!" campaign. Leveraging on the opening of several new attractions from 2005 onwards, the HKTB has designated 2006 as "Discover Hong Kong Year". The global marketing campaign makes use of a series of strategic promotions to showcase the new image of Hong Kong and promote it as a "must-visit" destination in 2006. The HKTB has already started promotions to the travel trade in May 2005 and will roll out consumer promotions worldwide in late 2005. Aloagreement, a series of joint overseas marketing initiatives is being conducted with Macau and the nine provincial tourism bureaus concerned.

If the engine will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter. These will tend to go out at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.

At times the car would not start it would just make a clicking sound. So I would move the automatic shifter down from park and back up to park to make sure it was in park all the way, and then it started one time but not another time when it did it again. So when it did it again, this time I tried to jiggle the steering column and a few other things, I'm not sure which one worked that time, but it did start. Another time when it wouldn't, I put the shifter in neutral, and it started, that is what seems to work every time.

Car will not start, isolated problem to starter solenoid. It's an easy fixFix and description
Checked starter found solenoid on the starter had burnt a contact and what I will call the armature washer. When the solenoid activates the washer makes the connection across the two contacts. The contacts are brass and one of them takes more ware than the other contact, eventually the washer is unable move close enough to make good contact across the two contacts and it's a no start condition. First time this happened my car had about 80,000 mile on it, reoccurred again at around 160,000 miles. I took the starter completely apart at 80,000 miles and was no measurable ware in the starter. I used the factory service manual for the specifications. With this in mind, may I suggest you avoid a rebuilt starter and just replace the 3 small parts in the solenoid. They are hard to find -- read on.Parts and where to find them
Most places and dealers only sell the complete starter when I was looking for them. Lehr Auto Electric in Sacramento California (916-646-6626) has the 3 parts you need to rebuild the solenoid for much less than $30, price from my memory. I don't work there and it a easy job, the hardest part is getting the starter out of the car. No soldering just a wrench and maybe a screwdriver.I hope that helps someone and it's my thanks for all the help I have received from the internet.

Starter Died. Almost needed a tow. Just would not turn over at all. Gave it a couple of good taps with a metal pipe on the top (on an angle), and started right up after that. Took it straight to the local Tustin Toyota Dealer in Southern Calif who said they do not make re-manufactured starters for my Vehicle ID because they come directly from Japan only. If it was American made, he could order a re-manufactured model at a third of the cost. Quoting me $800 to replace the starter. Why do I feel like I've just been suckered ????? I'm seeing alot of Japanese re-manufactured starters for sale on the internet for less than $100 and they told me the part alone costs $417 ??? I'm still feeling raked over ?? Awful feeling and will be a poor poor Xmas this year because of this unfortunate incident. I wish someone could confirm they are telling the truth because it would make me feel a lot better.

Having just bought a new battery, and not hearing the engine trying to turn over I knew it was the starter. I took it to my local shop where they confirmed. They replaced it for me and at there suggestion I also had them replace the solenoid.
