Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hello, My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will do my best to help you today.
Can you hear/see the sparker sparking?
no, cant hear or see it
Is the inducer fan motor coming on? This is the small motor that the exhaust pipe hooks to
when i turn the thrmostat to fan it runs/blows air. same thing?
no that is the circulating blower. The inducer motor comes on first during a heat call it pushes the exhaust out of the house. it is the small motor at the top of the furnace hooked to the exhaust pipe. I need to know if this is coming on like it should when you turn the thermostat to heat.
ok ill go check. i dont hear much of anything though when i turn everything back on. ill go check
small motor just above gas on/off switch is not running, i think its the one. cant hear anything else running
find the furnace control board located behind the bottom door. You will see where the thermostat wires hook to this board at terminals labeled with letters. You need to find a small piece of wire or paper clip and form a jumper/bridge that connects the W terminal with the R terminal then push in the door safety switch that this bottom door holds down when it's on and tell me if the inducer draft motor comes on this time.
w/r bridged big fan board is on turned on
The big fan came on or the inducer came on?
seemed like the fan the board was on turned on. inducer im guessing is connected to a 4" pipe?.
my first time in a furnace sorry
your doing great.
The big fan (circulating blower) will come on for 90 secs after power interruption which happens when you take the bottom door off so keep the jumper in and hold the button down for a good 2 mins see if the circulating fan turns off and the inducer motor turns on.
While you are doing this be mindfull of the LED's on the board tell me if they blink a number code.
only circ fan comming on 4 blinks pause 4 blinks
Great. that is a closed pressure switch when it shouldn't be.
I'm going to send you some pictures...
There is a small hose that hooks this switch to the body of the inducer
Take the hose off the inducer and the pressure switch and blow through both ends.
please tell me thats a inducer thank god
be right back
Then take a small piece of wire or a paper clip and clean the small port on the inducer this hose slides over
hold on there is more
Check for any water in the hose and let me know if the hose has water in it
Pull it all back together and tell me if it still blinks 4 times
ok go
3 tiny drops of water when i blew through. inducer connection has minor rust but clear. pressure switch connection was clear. still 4 leds
http://www.google.com/search?um=1& hl=en&biw=1024&bih=653&q=42-24335-02&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw#q=42-24335-02&hl=en&sa=N&prmd=ivs&source=univ&tbs=shop:1&tbo=u&ei=XQ7rTPeNJoKglAeW09jECw&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CCwQrQQwAg&biw=1024&bih=653&fp=9b84a0f9b294c817
This is the exact model number of the pressure switch for your furnace. You need a new one I'm afraid. This pressure switch should be open at all times then when the inducer motor starts up it pulls a vacuum on the switch and closes the contacts to prove that the furnace is exhausting
If you take one of the two wires off the pressure switch the inducer should fire right up. Once the inducer comes on you can plug the wire back up and the furnace will ignite. Once that heat call is over though the switch is still closed so the next time the furnace needs to come on it will not until you simulate an open pressure switch again by unplugging one wire.
k ill try it
The water in the hose is probably the reason the switch went bad. You can try to blow into the switch and see if it jars loose
But once the switch starts to stick it will just do it again.
ill be right back
If unhooking one of the two wires doesn't reset the LED then the board is bad and is reading a closed pressure switch signal when there isn't one so you would need a new board. It is rare for this to be the case, but it is a possible scenario
disconnecting 1 wire worked. got flame inducer and all
so you need a new switch. Like I said you will have heat until the next heat call comes then the same thing will happen all over again.
looking at the switch now
too bad you cant open these things
well is that it?
if so thanks alot
That's it
If you call someone they are going to charge you $85 service call, $60 for the pressure switch, and 1/4 hr labor at $85/hr
So if you can wait for the shipping your better off ordering one it is just two wires and youc an't get them reversed
going to go put the switch back in
We get them for about 15-20 dollars wholesale that price online is about what a mark up would be if a service company sold you one
Gotta make a living :)
what bothers me though is the water
Is the exhuaust pipe going up through the roof of the home or does it go out a side wall?
Water should not be in this exhaust pipe. If the pipe doesn't have rise and makes a hard turn or something causing the exhaust to get trapped it could condense the gas and form small amounts of condensation. If the cape on the end of the pipe outside has come loose or snow builds up around it and melts this is also bad it is suppose to be a minimum of 3' off the ground if horizontal and 1' over the roof peak if it goes out the roof.
it was litteral two tiny tiny drops and we have not got it serviced in two years. dont yell at me. but thanks ill check it out
I don't really believe in yearly service. Don't tell my customers that, but as long as you change the filter there isn't much service to be done. The stuff really either works or doesn't work going in once a year to check it isn't going to change when the parts go bad.
If you do not have a standing pilot furnace that produces rust there is no point in service
hmm ok
well i installed it and its working on its own
without the trick
Hopefully it will not stick again
but as you said ill know what to look for
That is basically what I would do on a service check. take the hose off blow through it, clean the port, clean the flame sensor with some sand paper, inspect for loose wiring, change the filter, and see if the igniter looks warn. That's about it.
thanks i learned alot
Have a happy thanks giving
you too

Eleven Favorite Places for Sushi in the Valley
Louie Banks
Since coming to the United States from Tokyo in the 1960s (when the California Roll was born), sushi has been found everywhere from grocery stores and restaurants to convenience marts in all 50 states and popular culture. (Hell, even Tony and Carmela ate it in The Sopranos' final-season opener.)
And with sushi creations ranging from the seriously simple to gourmet goodness to just plain crazy and fun, picking the Valley's best depends on what you're in the mood for. That's why we've selected 11 of our favorite places for sushi -- in no particular order and tailored to a variety of tastes.
This strip-mall eatery in Glendale serves up pretty plates of sushi from a sizable selection. There are baked creations like scallop rolls, standard but flavorful spicy tuna rolls, and specialty creations like the Hotty Hamachi, a jalapeño-and-ponzu-infused yellowtail delight, and the mighty Coyotes Roll, made with salmon, eel, cream cheese, avocado and topped with orange tobiko. Solid service goes with the rolls.
Two miles from ASU's Tempe campus, Chef Eric Wang brings his Japanese fusion cuisine to this colorful and casual restaurant, featuring several adventurous rolls in addition to the popular beer cocktail known as the sake bomb. Dare to check out the fried chimichanga roll with (gulp) fried chicken, avocado, and jalapeño and the Volcano made with spicy tuna. Extra points for kung fu movies on the television sets.
This crazy-popular and sometimes chaotic Ahwatukee Foothills restaurant from the former proprietors of Tucson's Sushi Ten may be bare bones in appearance, but its satisfying and reasonably priced sushi (several rolls are available for around $5 each) make up for the minimal décor. Try the uni and mackerel, and don't miss the chirashi, or "scattered" sushi. Wallet-wise, lunch specials are also a bonus.
No gimmicks at this cozy little gem in North Phoenix owned by chef Yasu Hashino. With impeccably fresh fish (don't miss the black cod and tuna carpaccio) and specials of the day such as sanma (mackerel pike) and ankimo (monkfish liver pate), guests may have a tough time deciding on sushi or Hashino's specialty, sumibiyaki, which are dishes grilled over Japanese oak charcoal.

This is the last post of 2013 but I'm going to leave it as it is for now, haha
Visa Guidelines is back
Alhamdulillah, I got married to a lovely lady by the name of Sarah and we're enjoying our new phase in life since that momentous day.
And yeah, I graduated from the University of Nottingham and thus, escaping from the evil clutches of my medical school. woot2! probably needs a post on this as well but yeah, maybe later.
at the bottom of this blog, there is an article on visa guidelines for medical students graduated from UK medical schools under MARA scholarship who are planning to work as an FY1 doctor in the UK.
After all, it was my visa guidelines which i made 5 years ago that helped me to get to know a lot of people and for some, have now become my close friends. And it helped a lot of other people as well. So I hope that this guideline would ease your efforts a bit. Visa application is always confusing.

the a team
Well, since I have this tradition of posting 23 posts for each year, I guess I just have to post a blank post until I get back to it haha
i won't give up
It's almost half a year since I left the dreaded place I called medschool. Back then, I have to agree with my friend who said "Diorang cakap je "You can always come to us if you have any problems" but in the end, diorang bukannya kisah pon". Which was true. Sometimes, I fell that I was not adequately supported but alhamdulillah, we all survived in the end.
I began watching Masterchef regularly when I failed for the first time in Medschool. The show was really inspirational. The struggle that the contestants faced somehow resonate with my own experience as a medical student. And seeing these contestants fight back on every challenge made me want to make a comeback as well for every time I get knocked down.
These contestants get a lot of crazy challenges being thrown at them. These include:

I believe that people should always be nice and polite when talking to one another..and especially in stressful situations.
It was last week when I was in the Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) that one of the staff was just being rude to me. Let's call her Cruella. She was upset that there were 2 patients being sent to the ward when they were not supposed to. I was asked by a nurse to see those patients since they are Urology patients. I went to SAU and asked Cruella where these patients were. Without even making proper eye contact (and I think she was walking away from me to show that she's more superior and has no time to entertain an FY1 like me), she said the patients are at the entrance of the ward. So I talked to the patients and asked them if they have been given any letters in which they replied they've given it to the nurse. So I went to see Cruella again and asked about the letters. She looked at me with a very annoyed face and raised her voice, "What letters??!". Sheesh, cuba relax. Bukannya nak suruh catheterise patient pon. So I just walked away from her because I don't have time to deal with rude people. I know you're stressful but making others stressed out as well is not helpful. Be nice, smile and don't frustrate others.
begin the begin
I am an FY1 (Foundation Year 1) doctor. There are 2 Foundation Years in total and we go through 6 rotations of 4 months each. I was in ENT (ear, nose and throat) and I quite enjoyed it because there was good senior support and I know I won't mess things up because they are around to help me.
On the 3rd of December earlier this month, I moved to my 2nd rotation, Urology (kidneys, bladder, urinary problems, prostate). Initially, I thought it would be a crazy rotation but now that it's 4 weeks into the rotation, it's not too bad tbh.

tik tok
Ever since I started working, I feel like there is just not enough time. I think I am not as organised as I was a medical student.
You leave home early in the morning, you come home in the evening and then you have to cook (well, I don't cook that often heh), have dinner, do chores, sleep and do it all over again the next day.
It's so much different to being a student. Back in my medical school years, I can happily study whenever I want to throughout the day. Now, I have to work during my hours and I can't just disappear to the library to study whenever I want to. I have to hang around, I have patients under my care, I have expectations that I have to meet. And I also have this noisy bleep. It is a really stressful environment. But yeah, working in Malaysia would definitely be more challenging.

marry you
She made a cake and we brought it to our first ever daurah as husband & wive :)
Yesterday was the 3 monversary (month + anniversary; if there's even such a word :P) of my marriage to my lovely wife, Sarah. I know I have put this blog on super long hiatus but I think it's time to start writing back, bit by bit ;)
I also found out that she has a blog and I love her writing so much that I decided not to share it with you guys, lol kidding. So there's probably won't be a blog entitled "being us" anytime soon.
I also found out that she has a blog and I love her writing so much that I decided not to share it with you guys, lol kidding. So there's probably won't be a blog entitled "being us" anytime soon.
So let's start with something simple; which is basically a question asked by one of my bffs, Syukri regarding what it feels like to be married & I think I just let the screenshots tell you all about it.
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Just to be clear, this post is simply for my reading. But I don't mind if you want to read it too. As you probably know, I write on this blog because I want to remember things..it's an alternative to writing them in my journal.
I named it "legacy" because it was one of the names of our university email account which had changed a no of times throughout the 5 years. I like this name the most.
So I learned that we're going to lose access to our university address soon. Thus, I transferred some of the emails which I wanted to keep to my business email address and for some, I put them on my blog so I can look at them whenever I want to :D
Let's go right from the bottom end of my inbox:

the only exception
So now you know why I was so stressful in the weeks leading up to the resits. In addition to the thought about repeating the whole of Final Year, I also have an additional worry in mind..
via FB
As always, no matter how good our plan is, Allah's plans are the best. Everything went according to the original plan apart from my failures in #FebFinals. The things which happened perfectly include:

Visa Guidelines
Disclaimer: Everything that I have written in this article would not confirm your success in applying for a visa. It is intended to be an explanation of the things that I have done in order for me to get a Tier 4 Visa to begin my work as an FY1 doctor.
29th July - I got my visa today from DX! Alhamdulillah :)
The document which I used as a basis of my decision can be found on this link - click me
14th July - My supporting docs arrived at Visa
16th July - Date of letter to invite me for the Biometric enrolment
19th July - I went to the Post Office for Visa Biometric enrolment
25th July - Received a DX delivery card for my visa because no one was around at home huhu
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED (in my opinion)
1. The ones listed on the cover sheet. For me:
Current passport and previous passport (which contained Tier 4 Visa for medschool) and 2 passport photos
2. A letter of unconditional consent from MARA.
This is based on this section on the Visa Guidance
"54. If you are currently financially sponsored by a government or an international scholarship
"54. If you are currently financially sponsored by a government or an international scholarship
agency, or your financial sponsorship ended within 12 months of your application being
made, you will need your sponsor's permission to stay in or re-enter the UK. You must
provide us with your financial sponsor's unconditional consent in writing. This must confirm
that your sponsor has no objection to you continuing your studies in the UK. If your financial
sponsor does not give consent, we will refuse the application."
page 8 of 78
Method: Call MARA and explain to them that you would like this letter. Email MARA with your full name, passport no, name of hospital for FY1 and your Foundation School. E.g. Royal Preston Hospital, North Western Foundation School
3. Bank statements
The amount for outside of London is £1640. So I sent them a bank statement which is dated within 31 days of my application and the money has been held in the account for 28 days consecutively
4. CAS letter
I just printed it out from the email
5. BMedSci and BMBS degree
Yeah, I actually posted both degrees lol. This is because in the CAS letter, it states that the evidence required to obtain the letter is my degree. Hence, the reason why I did that. In addition, I chose "I have an academic qualification, at least
equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree, taught in
English" as an evidence to demonstrate my English language ability. So, I think these degrees would be sufficient.
6. Cover sheet
Which you can print off after submitting your application
All the best!!

Report: Apple's iOS 7 to Have a "Flat" UI Design
Tiffany Kaiser
April 30, 2013 1:39 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Jony Ive is the man behind the OS overhaul
Apple has reportedly made some pretty big changes to
iOS 7
, including a "flatter" look pioneered by Jony Ive,
Apple's head of Industrial Design and Human Interface
In the past, software and hardware design
never really crossed paths
under Apple's roof. In fact, a report in March of this year pointed out that Apple's software design team for iOS typically sat in the dark on what the industrial design team was doing, but the two have started collaborating more as of late -- allowing software designers to get an idea of what devices their iOS projects will run on, and also give industrial designers a say in what the software will look like on their hardware.
This change (under Apple CEO Tim Cook) is showing its face with the iPhone/iPad's upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 7.
9 to 5 Mac
reports that Ive has had a huge role in designing iOS 7, and that the new look may shock customers who are used to past versions of iOS.
IOS 7 is expected to have a "flat" look, closely related to the look of Microsoft 8's live tiles. This is quite a break from the user interface designed under former CEO Steve Jobs, which follows a more glossy and life life look. The new OS loses all that shine and
currently lavished on users.
Apple's Jony Ive
While the design is flatter, the ease-of-use remains the same. There will be no learning curve for users, as the idea was to keep things simple (as usual).
The look won't be the only change to iOS in the upcoming version. There will also be an all-new icon set for Apple's native apps, and tool bars, tab bars and other interface features will get a fresh design.
Apple has also been considering adding more bundled information and options panels within the OS, like Notification Center. This would allow users to quickly glance at many notifications across their system at once. It hasn't been confirmed if we'll see this in iOS 7, though.
The changes aren't expected to please all users, specifically those who are used to the lifelike design with heavy textures. However, Cook has placed all confidence in Ive's ability to create across hardware and software.
"Jony, who I think has the best taste of anyone in the world and the best design skills, now has responsibility for the human interface," said Cook in a
Bloomberg BusinessWeek
interview this year. "I mean, look at our products. The face of this is the software, right? And the face of this iPad is the software. So it's saying, Jony has done a remarkable job leading our hardware design, so let's also have Jony responsible for the software and the look and feel of the software, not the underlying architecture and so forth, but the look and feel."
Ive stepped in last year when former vice president of iOS software
Scott Forstall got the boot
due to the Apple Maps debacle.
The changes to iOS 7 are not expected to give all developers too much trouble in the future, but apps built for iOS 6 and previous could be considered outdated since they're made to match old versions of iOS.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple was pulling engineers from OS X 10.9 to finish iOS 7. At that time, it was predicted "Ive's work is apparently making many people really happy, but will also apparently make rich-texture-loving designers sad."
Apple's mobile operating system is likely going through a huge overhaul because it's in the midst of creating entirely new gadgets, such as
the upcoming smart watch
. Reports have said that the new watch's OS will be built from the ground up rather than starting with the iPod nano's touch operating system (which has a screen about the size of a watch). Also, the iPhone/iPad's OS must be reconstructed to work with the new devices.
The watch is due out
as early as this year

Marketing Information
Copy or emulate Extended Display Identification (EDID) data for optimal display settings
The VSEDIDDVI DVI EDID Emulator enables you to capture and retain Extended Display Identification Data from a monitor, which can then be connected to the video signal source (Video Extender, KVM Switch, etc.) to pass the EDID information and ensure the proper video settings are maintained.
EDID information contains important display settings such as maximum image size, color characteristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range limits, etc., and since most video extender systems don't offer EDID communication between the source and remote display, the DVI EDID Emulator is a perfect workaround for ensuring the optimum signal is provided to the display to help prolong the life of your displays.

text: Hi all, Please refer to this short example that sets up a sequence of dynamic bindings. (defvar *d* 0) (defun f1 () (format t "f1 sees ~a~%" *d*) (let ((*d* 1)) (f2))) (defun f2 () (format t "f2 sees ~a~%" *d*) (let ((*d* 2)) (f3))) (defun f3 () (format t "f3 sees ~a~%" *d*) (let ((*d* 3)) (f4))) (defun f4 () (format t "f4 sees ~a~%" *d*) (let ((*d* 4)) ;; Now examine the stack in the debugger (break))) I was recently confused by the behaviour of clisp's debugger with regards to dynamically bound variables. Within a stack frame in the debugger, I expect to see the dynamic binding of *d* in that frame. However, clisp only knows of the environment of the caller to invoke-debugger (ie f4 above). I know that this is documented in the implementation notes, but it seems to go against what I intuitively expected. Currently, I can only see *d* as 4 in all stack frames. LispWorks, in contrast, seem to behave as I expect -- in the innermost binding, *d* is 4. If we move further back up the stack, we start to see *d* bound to 3, then 2, and finally 1, etc. My original encounter with this was from within the Slime debugger, which points to a probable bug in Slime too. Unless I'm mis-understanding, or using this wrong, should I file a feature request?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/5/2014 (1205 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
My niece was having a difficult evening after work because her dog bolted out the front door and down the street.
She took off after him and didn't realize until later that her iPhone was missing.
She called in reinforcements (her sister and me) and with a rake and a broom we combed the area a couple of times and went over it once with a flashlight to be sure.
Her sister put notes in people's mailboxes.
Imagine our surprise when my niece got a call that a local woman had found the phone. We were all thrilled. The phone was in pristine condition and worked like a charm.
How nice that a Good Samaritan was so honest in returning the phone. Winnipeggers are the best.

The cost to purchase a traffic safety arrow board for use by city departments is far below the amount budgeted for the equipment.
The parks department mainly will be using the board when personnel are tending to the median planting areas that have been added on Highway 100, east of Highway 47, but it can be used by other departments as well, city council members were told during their meeting this week.
The parks department has taken over maintenance of the landscaped medians and under Missouri Department of Transportation requirements, the city must provide adequate safety control measures for city workers within MoDOT right of way, according to a letter from Darren Dunkle, parks director.
The council approved an ordinance to purchase the unit from Traffic Control Company Inc., Valley Park, for $4,266. The 2013-14 fiscal year budget allocated $9,000 for the equipment.
"It (the bid) came in quite lower than anticipated," Dunkle told council members.
He said he solicited bids from three companies but Traffic Control was the only firm that responded by the bid deadline.
The median landscaping project was funded chiefly with federal enhancement grant funds with a match provided by the city.
The medians were planted with native grasses and flowers which won't reach their full heights for a couple of years, city officials have noted.

Revision as of 06:38, 16 July 2009
aha is a noun meaning "rage" in Quenya.
In the First Age, aha was pronounced acha.
TengwaTengwar alphabet. In Westron it was called Shé and it had the value of sh in Mannish modes.
The original name of Aha was Charma and in Quenya it had the value "ch". Over time the "ch" in Quenya softened to "h" at the beginning of words and the letter, now called Acha, was only used in the middle of words where ch still retained. Still later the "ch" sound disappeared altogether and the letter name as well became Aha.
In Sindarin, Aha still refers to the "ch" sound. In Westron the letter is called Shé and has the value of "sh".

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/10/2013 (1420 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ALL THAT GLITTERS: Ida Albo and Rick Bell, co-owners of the chateau-style Fort Garry Hotel, proudly celebrated the hotel's 100th birthday. It happened Friday night at the Inaugural Heritage Ball, with dining, dancing and many guests in period costumes. "We're friends of the Capones," whispered Peter Brown with his dame, who called herself Andrea. "We're just in from Chicaw-gah." the Fort Garry Hotel's catering guru, Paul Haverstock, dressed in kilt and thick Scottish accent, suspiciously sidled up to them for a photo.
After dinner, a black speakeasy door with peephole let people in one by one. Guests such as Winpark Dorchester's Arch Honigman, with his beautiful blond dame and Free Press associate editor Julie Carl in flapper-length dress and leopard-print stockings, were out cutting the rug. When the speakeasy started to boil, Keystone Kops blowing whistles hit the stage to arrest bandleader Danny Kramer and throw everybody out. Luckily, a liquid bribe made them go away and the party roared on! SPOTTED: Via Rail president Paul Smith, WSO conductor Alexander Mickelthwate and designer wife, Abigail, Premier Greg Selinger and many politicos, including Dan Vandal, Jenny Gerbasi, Paula Havixbeck, Flor Marcelino, and Shelly Glover. Free Press publisher Bob Cox and city editor Shane Minkin listened raptly to Frank Albo's slide show on the 1913 plan for Winnipeg -- the "city of dreams" at the height of its economic boom. Also watching closely, philanthropists John and Bonnie Buhler, Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries' Shirley Retzlaff and activist farmer Louise May. Bounding through the door in costume came artist Jordan Van Sewell, the president of Heritage Winnipeg.
-- -- --
DAFFODIL GALA: A few blocks away, the CancerCare Manitoba folks were in the midst of a giant fundraiser of their own at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, with guests including Mayor Sam Katz and his growing family. Katz was spotted bidding on a sparkly rhinestone bracelet one of his daughters had been trying on her wrist. Guest speaker and Canad Inns executive Paul Robson noted there was so much more to do in the fight against cancer and that everyone has been touched by it. The audience nodded in agreement. The Ron Paley Band, entertaining that night, provided a good example of that. Lisa Bell of Canadian Idol fame was onstage singing her heart out. Spotted outside after the gig, she said her mom had just died of breast cancer and she felt she just had to go and support the cause. SPOTTED: Host Jim Ingebrigtsen in top form, jeweller Roger Watson, Larry Willman from MJ Roofing, Wayne Rivers from Procurity, laser guru Dr. Earl Minuk and Terry Cowan, the new ad director for Dufresne.
-- -- --
TO BE OR NOT TO BE: Popular Winnipeg comedian Dan Verville, the five-year Rumor's Comedy Club host, just returned from the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas last week, where he came 17th out of 101 comedians. Mexican-American comic Thai Rivera won top honours. Why did Verville, 27, who enjoys his advertising career, choose to go? To figure out if he wanted to throw it all out and try to be a full-time comic -- or not. His decision? "I still don't know what I want to do. I learned a lot and I'm going to work on those things and see what happens."

JIM LEHRER: And to the analysis of Shields and Brooks, syndicated columnist Mark Shields, New York Times columnist David Brooks.
First, David, how do you read the importance of North Carolina, Georgia and the other southern states, what we just heard?
DAVID BROOKS, Columnist, New York Times: Especially in the Senate, really important. If McCain starts losing those states in the presidential, he'll lose by a lot.
But to me, two things are going on here. The one which I associate a little more with Georgia is that this is just a tough year for Republicans, and so they're going to be challenged in a lot of states they really shouldn't be challenged in.
But then there's a second trend which I associate more with North Carolina, which is really a long tectonic shift away from the Republican Party, especially in places like North Carolina, where, as we've heard, you've got the people moving from the north down to North Carolina, and then you've got the rise, especially around the Research Triangle area, of highly educated people and young people, and those people are fleeing the Republican Party in droves.
And so I've spent a lot of time in North Carolina, and people had a sense the Democrats were going to do a lot better year upon year. I think they were surprised it's happening this year.
They thought it might happen four years or eight years from now, because there has been this long-term trend away from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party, because the Republicans are losing these sorts of people, highly educated people.
JIM LEHRER: And also the surge in the African-American vote, as well?
MARK SHIELDS, Syndicated Columnist: The surge in the African-American vote is enormous. I do think, Jim, that the significance is more than just this election, because we've had a given of a solid South, really, for the past 40 years, that it's been the most reliable, dependable, and homogenous Republican…
JIM LEHRER: Beginning with Richard Nixon.
MARK SHIELDS: Beginning with Richard Nixon — George Wallace in 1968…
JIM LEHRER: George Wallace, right.
MARK SHIELDS: … and then Nixon brought in the Wallace vote in '72. And so the Democrats have really not been competitive there.
And I think that, when any area of the country becomes more competitive, it's not only healthy for our politics, but it's very healthy for the two-party system, that Democrats now have to think in terms of the support of and the encouragement and the re-election of Democrats who are elected from that region, if they're going to, in fact, compete there in a real way.
Campaigns 'mirror' the candidates
JIM LEHRER: Sure. Now, in a more overview question here -- we're on a Friday before Tuesday's election. Much is being said, Mark, about how well the Barack Obama campaign has been run.
How do you read that at this stage? Now, we don't know how it's going to turn out, but how well, just as a campaign?
MARK SHIELDS: Jim, there's a dirty little secret in the press, and that is this, that if you win, you're a genius. If you lose, you're a...
JIM LEHRER: It's not a secret anymore. You just told everybody.
MARK SHIELDS: It's not a secret. I just told everybody. And -- but, I mean, you want to go through Hamilton Jordan being the greatest example. Hamilton Jordan was a very able political operative, the late Hamilton Jordan, ran Jimmy Carter's campaign.
One-term ex-governor of Georgia beats the face cards of the Democratic Party in 1976, steals the Democratic nomination, wins the White House, first southerner since the Civil War to win the Democratic nomination for president, an achievement of just towering magnitude.
Four years later, Jimmy Carter is unelected president by Ronald Reagan, who carries 44 states. Now, Hamilton Jordan, what did he lose, 70 I.Q. points in those four years? No, I mean, it's just -- it's part of the formula.
Has it been a good campaign? It's been superb. It's been very disciplined. Every campaign is ultimately, inevitably a mirror reflection of the candidate.
JIM LEHRER: Forget consultants and assistants...
MARK SHIELDS: Candidates' strengths and weaknesses are reflected in whom the candidate chooses to run the campaign, how the campaign's run. It's been disciplined. It's been harmonious. Winning campaigns are more harmonious than losing campaigns, which are civil wars and a leper colony.
Obama's moderate staff
JIM LEHRER: How do you read it, David, the Obama campaign?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, it has been a smoothly run campaign. The thing that strikes me about the campaign is how nice it is. I mean, they're not always accessible, especially with the candidate, but they are nice people.
MARK SHIELDS: They are nice.
DAVID BROOKS: When, in our business, you write something negative about a campaign, and you get a call often the next day, and they tell you you're a complete idiot.
With the Obama campaign, they'll call you up and they'll say, "You know, David, we love you. You're a great guy. We really respect your work. It's so sad that you're a complete idiot." And so they make you feel better about it while they deliver the message.
And that niceness, I think, is a reflection from Obama. It's been a smoothly run campaign. They haven't taken a lot of chances, but they've made practically zero mistakes.
Does that mean he'll be a great president? Not necessarily. I think the best campaign I've seen in recent history was the George Bush 2000 campaign, which I thought was a masterpiece of a campaign in a very hostile environment.
Did it mean he would turn out to be a great manager and president? Well, viewers can decide.
JIM LEHRER: Yes, but what about the people around Obama? They're the same people who were around him when it began, right? Does that mean something?
DAVID BROOKS: It does. And it means, as somebody who came from the Clinton world and entered the Obama world, this person said to me, "They're in it for all the right reasons," which is to say, "It's not a notch on their career to move up. They're in it because of Obama." And that's important.
And, I mean, from my point of view, they're moderate people. They're not flaky. Personally, they tend to be very even-tempered and I think even ideologically they tend to be moderate Democrats and not off on any fringe.
MARK SHIELDS: David Axelrod is about to go into the Cooperstown of political operatives, consultants. He's very good. He's been a major, major indispensable force.
JIM LEHRER: His title is?
MARK SHIELDS: Chief strategist.
JIM LEHRER: Chief strategist...
MARK SHIELDS: Senior strategist.
JIM LEHRER: ... former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, yes.
MARK SHIELDS: Used to be. Used to be -- you know, trusted senior adviser, whatever...
JIM LEHRER: Right, yes.
MARK SHIELDS: ... quote, unquote. But David Axelrod worked for John Edwards in 2004. You know, his genius was somehow not clearly as visible in a losing campaign.
So, I mean, is David Axelrod good? Sure. But, I mean, there's a great Russian proverb that says, "Winning has a fragrance all its own."
JIM LEHRER: The Russians said that?
MARK SHIELDS: Yes, the Russians said that. And I just -- I think it's important to bear that in mind. It does have a fragrance. Boy, you know, and you start to believe you've got an I.Q. of 200 and you're seven feet tall.
But I do think that it's been -- David's point about the -- they are -- the campaign itself, the people in it, have never been taken with their self-importance.
Contrast it with the Giuliani campaign, which was -- it made Dale Carnegie's book required reading for everybody in politics. It was the most abrasive I've ever dealt with.
Key campaign moments
JIM LEHRER: Another overview question, David. When you look back -- this has been a very long campaign. Let's face it, almost two years for everybody concerned.
Do you look back now and see some really turning points, major turning points that really caused this thing to happen, that we're now sitting here, John McCain versus Barack Obama, two years later?
DAVID BROOKS: Right. I would say, for McCain, it was the surge, the decision of the surge, and the success of the surge, which made him a viable candidate. That was the good one.
And then the bad one I think was about the same time, the depths of the campaign, when they shook up the campaign. They got people who were more organized, but also more conventionally Republican. And I think he's run a more conventional campaign than he should have, because of those people that surrounded him then.
And that's why he picked Sarah Palin, because he's run a much more conventionally Republican campaign.
So I think the key moments were way back then, which was sort of set in stone what would happen afterwards.
For Barack Obama, I'd say it was the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Iowa last winter where he discovered that voice, the hope message, which really electrified people for a long time and then which set him off on the trajectory.
And then I think it was in the middle of the Clinton fight, where she ran that 3 a.m. ad, and he sort of shifted from hope and the effervescence and became much more reassuring and experienced and became, I think, a much more prosaic candidate as a result, but I think those were the two trajectories.
I do have to say, about Obama, there were very few turning points. McCain has a lot of them. Obama, he's not a turning point kind of guy. It's just pretty steady.
Potential election outcomes
JIM LEHRER: What do you think, Mark?
MARK SHIELDS, Syndicated Columnist: Jim, first of all, nobody chooses the environment in which he runs. It was an unfriendly, unforgiving environment for John McCain.
He was running at a time when he was seeking a third time -- White House term for his party, a singularly unpopular president of his party, an unpopular war, a sluggish economy that turned into crisis. So, I mean, that's a factor beyond his control.
And so, if John McCain runs close on Tuesday -- I'm not making predictions, but I will make a prediction -- if he does run close, he's done well in that sense. But the reality is the deck was stacked against him.
I think the most important thing was he made a faulty decision at the outset to try and run a George Bush-clone campaign, a big, national campaign, a lot of money, big budget, and it came a cropper. It absolutely imploded.
And at that point, John McCain returned to what John McCain had been. He became the John McCain of town meetings in New Hampshire. He went back. New Hampshire was his venue to rescue that campaign. And it was quite impressive. And he did it almost single-handedly.
If John McCain had run...
JIM LEHRER: But that was to get the nomination.
MARK SHIELDS: Yes. If he had run the John McCain campaign of 2000 in 2008, the guy who took on tobacco, the guy who'd taken on soft money, the guy who stood independently of his own party, who took on -- who stood for middle-income tax cuts and low-income tax cuts, and wanted to make Social Security solvent, not to give money to -- tax cuts, as he put it, to the millionaires, I think John McCain would have been a far more competitive candidate.
He became...
JIM LEHRER: In the general election?
MARK SHIELDS: In the general election, he became a far more conventional Republican, and as David pointed out.
In Obama's case, Obama, I think, to his credit, understood -- the definition of leadership to me, politically, is that a leader know and understand himself or herself and know and understand the times in which he lives.
Obama understood both. He always stayed within his own game in the sense as a candidate. He was true to himself. He was cool. He was confident. He never tried to step outside of that.
JIM LEHRER: And be somebody else?
MARK SHIELDS: Be somebody else. And it served him very well, especially in the crisis.
And, finally, Jim, he was the anti-war candidate in an anti-war party. If Hillary Clinton had done what John Edwards had done and changed her position on the war, she would have been very competitive. And he was gifted that she ran as an incumbent candidate, as a candidate who was ready, in a year of change, when people weren't looking for continuity.
JIM LEHRER: Looking for change, yes. Look, we're not in the prediction business here, but where does the race stand right now? I won't hold you to it.
DAVID BROOKS: It's tightened a little, but John McCain is behind in all the key swing states by a little. And he would have to really win them all to win the presidency.
So he's gotten some traction last week, I think by calling Obama a liberal spender, but it hasn't changed the momentum basically.
MARK SHIELDS: The most admirable thing John McCain did was not to play the race card in this campaign. And for that, he should be -- he deserves some credit. He did some other things that he's not going to feel good about, but certainly not doing that.
I think it's -- the over-under, I'd say, is 5 points, as say they in Las Vegas. I mean, I think he'll win by -- he, Obama -- will win the popular vote somewhere between 4 percent and 5 percent. And I think his...
JIM LEHRER: Electoral College?
MARK SHIELDS: ... Electoral College between 340 and 350.
JIM LEHRER: Does that make sense to you?
DAVID BROOKS: I'd put it a little higher. I actually think it's going to swing Obama's way a little more, 6, 7, 8, 9 points. I think it'll be a pretty convincing win. And I think...
MARK SHIELDS: Well, if that's the case, it will truly be historic, because, other than Franklin Roosevelt, only Lyndon Johnson -- all the Democrats ever elected -- got more than 50.1 percent.
DAVID BROOKS: Absolutely. But I don't think the Democrats will get 60 votes in the Senate, which to me is right now the key thing.
JIM LEHRER: OK. David, Mark, we'll see. We'll see how wrong or right you are. Thank you both.
MARK SHIELDS: Thank you.

Going to college is an exciting time for many people, full of new experiences and opportunities to grow. One aspect of attending college that can be particularly powerful is being in an environment in which we are exposed to people, ideas and cultures that are different from our own. Although this is an important part of higher education, the transition to being part of a diverse community can sometimes be difficult for people who are not used to being around others who are different from them. This can create tension and stress for individuals from historically underrepresented groups, such as students of color, who may feel misunderstood, excluded, or unfairly criticized by their classmates. If you have experienced these feelings, you are not alone.
Dealing with Differences
Typically when we think about discrimination, we picture overt acts in which someone is deliberately treated in an unfair manner based on their identity, like being denied a job because of their sex or ethnicity. However, changes in our laws and culture have made this kind of willful discrimination relatively rare. Instead, modern discrimination is likely to be subtle and perpetrated by people who do not realize that their actions are divisive and hurtful. These covert experiences are difficult to confront directly because the perpetrators do not recognize their behavior as discrimination. This may cause you to question whether your perceptions are accurate or if you are being "too sensitive." The stress of coping with these subtle expressions of discrimination, which may occur dozens of times per day, and questioning your own reactions to them can have a significant negative impact on your functioning.
These small, subtle acts of discrimination are known as "microaggressions." They are "commonplace verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults" toward people from marginalized groups (Sue, 2010, p. 29). There are three types of microaggressions:
These microaggressions are "conscious, deliberate, and either subtle or explicit… biased attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors that are communicated to marginalized groups through environmental cues, verbalizations, or behaviors" (Sue, 2010, p. 28). Microassaults can include things such as display of racist imagery or use of language meant to insult someone's gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic heritage.
This form of microaggression includes communications that implicitly convey rudeness, insensitivity, or demeaning sentiments about another person's heritage, culture or identity. Making assumptions about things such as intelligence (e.g., presuming women will be bad at math) or likelihood of criminal behavior (e.g., crossing the street to avoid an African-American man) based on membership in a particular group are examples of microinsults.
Microaggressions in this category are "communications that exclude, negate, or nullify the psychological thoughts, feelings or experiential reality" of people from underrepresented groups (Sue, 2010, p. 29). This includes situations in which people attempt to deny the unique lived experience of people from a minority group, such as espousing "color-blindness" (i.e., "When I look at people, I don't see race") as a way to avoid acknowledging differences in people's experiences based on racial identity.
Harmful Effects of Discrimination
Microaggressions can negatively affect individuals in a number of ways that are cumulative, subtle and slow. A significant body of research exhibits a persistent link between membership in an underrepresented group and impaired psychological well-being. Physical health can also be affected, through issues such as high blood pressure, insomnia, nausea, headaches, and engaging in health-harming behaviors such as use of alcohol and tobacco (cf. Borrell, et al., 2010; Goldenhar, Swanson, Hurrell, Ruder, & Deddens, 1998; Landrine & Klonoff, 1997; Zucker & Landry, 2007).
Discrimination can also impede success more directly. This can play out in several different ways, one of which is stereotype threat. This is "being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about one's group" (Steele & Aronson, 1995, p. 797). Anxiety about fulfilling others' negative stereotypes takes mental energy away from being able to focus on important tasks and impairs performance. Another means by which discrimination affects success is through social identity threat. If a valued part of our identity is at risk in a particular context, we will often try to avoid that context. Not being able to avoid this threat can lead to underperformance, distrust, and uncertainty about belonging. When being a good student is a large part of how you define yourself, trying to protect that sense of self in a threatening context (such as a class in which people have made discriminatory comments) is very uncomfortable and impedes your ability to be as fully engaged and participatory in the class as possible.
Coping Effectively
College can be a very stressful experience on its own. Dealing with discriminatory events adds to this stress and can feel particularly painful because these aggressions are "inherently demeaning, degrading, and highly personal," and focused on "something essential about the self" (Klonoff & Landrine, 1995, p. 442) that is effectively unalterable, making them difficult to dismiss as random, circumstantial, or otherwise harmless. However, it is possible to respond to discrimination in a way that can reduce its negative effect on your well-being and academic success:

Barack Obama Why President Obama Picked The 'Only White Guy' On His Shortlist By Nina Totenberg, NPR & Nina Totenberg, NPR • Mar 18, 2016 Just after President Obama and I concluded our interview — and after the microphones and cameras clicked off — he added a thought. Senate Republicans' vow not to consider the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court, he said, could have profound consequences for the high court and the justices themselves. Merrick Garland Is Named As President Obama's Supreme Court Nominee By Bill Chappell, NPR & Bill Chappell, NPR • Mar 16, 2016 Federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland is President Obama's pick to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Obama: Texas Leaders 'Aren't Interested' in Higher Voter Turnout By Edgar Walters, Texas Tribune • Mar 11, 2016 Bob Daemmrich/Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: Texas' Republican leadership has stifled voter turnout, and the public sector should do more to encourage online voting and other civic engagement, President Barack Obama said in an interview Friday with Texas Tribune CEO and Editor-in-Chief Evan Smith. Obama's remarks at the South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin focused on using Internet technology to encourage more civic participation, including voting. Thanks (Again) Obama: Austinites React To The President's Effects On SXSW Traffic By Andrew Weber • Mar 11, 2016 whitehouse.gov and SXSW Unless you've been locked in a soundproof lead box and submerged in Lady Bird Lake, you're fully aware of the traffic situation that's transpiring today: President Obama's visiting and it's the first day of SXSW Interactive. Suffice to say, people weren't too jazzed about the prospect and they're took to the Internet to vent about it. Watch: President Obama in Conversation at SXSW Interactive By KUT Staff • Mar 11, 2016 whitehouse.gov and sxsw President Obama's motorcade proceeded from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Friday afternoon directly to Torchy's Tacos on South First before making its way to the Long Center. "I want to acknowledge your mayor, Steve Adler, who bought tacos with me," the President said. Expected Traffic Congestion Means Early School and City Closures on Friday By KUT Staff • Mar 9, 2016 KUT News With South by Southwest Film and Interactive starting Friday, and President Obama in Austin the same day, Austin is anticipating significant effects on traffic congestion. Austin ISD announced that 17 campuses will be letting students out early on Friday to "minimize complications" for families. Obama: Iraq Must Have Legitimate Government To Combat Insurgency By Scott Neuman • Aug 9, 2014 Updated at 12:25 p.m. ET. President Obama says that the U.S. will continue to provide Iraq with humanitarian and military assistance, but he ruled out ground troops and reiterated administration calls for Iraq to form a "legitimate" government in order to face the threat from Islamic militants. Meet Two African Women at UT With Ideas for Improving Access to Some Basic Needs By Laura Rice • Jul 22, 2014 Sara Combs, courtesy the UT-Austin International Office Some young people in Africa are struggling with problems that many Americans take for granted – including serious unemployment and access to basic needs. A group of 25 young Africans from 18 different countries have been at UT-Austin this summer to bring to life their business plans for addressing some of the challenges in their countries. It's part of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative. The national program is in its fourth year but this is the first time participants have spent time at a university prior to a summit in Washington. Listen: Why Obama's Austin Fist Bumper Made a Call for Gay Rights By Wells Dunbar & Ben Philpott • Jul 14, 2014 Kevin Lamarque/Reuters /Landov By now, you've probably seen the photo from President Barack Obama's recent Austin visit: the president smiling and extending a fist bump to a cashier at Franklin Barbecue. If you've followed the story further, then you may be familiar with what prompted the exchange: the cashier, comedian and performer Daniel Webb, exclaimed "Equal rights for gay people!" when the president approached the counter. When Obama asked Webb if he was gay, he answered, "Only when I have sex." Originally reported by The Austin Chronicle, the story has been written up everywhere online. In Texas, Obama Sets Stage To Answer 'Do-Nothing' Congress By Frank James, NPR • Jul 11, 2014 Six years into his administration, President Obama has apparently not given up on the "hope" that was a major theme of his first run for president.

President Obama is Back in Austin Today By KUT Staff • Jul 10, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT Note: This post initially contained the White House livestream of Obama's speech. As the speech has concluded and is not yet archived, we have removed the embed. A recap: President Obama is flying back to Washington DC after spending the night in Austin. This morning, Obama attended a round table discussion at the home of Democratic activist Aimee Boone Cunningham and then drove the Paramount Theater to deliver a speech – the first time a president has spoken at the Paramount since it opened in 1915. The president's speech focused on economic opportunity and the middle class. Obama attacked Congressional Republicans for not agreeing to increase the minimum wage, extend unemployment insurance benefits or pass equal pay laws. Austin Says 'Thanks Obama!' for All the Traffic By Wells Dunbar • Jul 10, 2014 Caleb Bryant Miller/KUT Normally the "Thanks Obama" meme is reserved for things beyond the president's control: paper cuts and infomercial disasters, to name a few. But Pres. Obama's visit to Austin today – and its effect on morning traffic – has more than a few Twitter users directing their gridlocked ire at the president. To the surprise of no one stuck in traffic, #ThanksObama is trending in Austin this morning.

Tickets for the event will range from $5,000 to the legal limit of $32,400. The proceeds will go to the Democratic National Committee. Obama: U.S. Forces Won't Return To Combat In Iraq Crisis By Bill Chappell, NPR • Jun 19, 2014 President Obama says the U.S. will send up to 300 military advisers to Iraq to help it cope with the Sunni extremist group ISIS, which has won several key battles in recent days. Obama said Americans won't be taking up combat roles in the conflict — and he said the U.S. won't take actions "that support one sect inside of Iraq at the expense of another." Obama Signs Order Easing Student Loan Payments (This post was updated at 3:24 p.m. ET.) President Obama signed an order on Monday that expands the number of Americans whose student loan payments will be capped at 10 percent of their monthly incomes. CNN reports the new order would allow an additional 5 million borrowers to take advantage of the cap beginning in December 2015. Bloomberg adds: Obama Emphasizes Importance Of Alliances In Foreign Policy Address President Obama sought to recast if not reboot his overall approach to foreign policy with his graduation address at West Point on Wednesday. In essence answering critics who have complained that his administration has lacked forceful responses to challenges in places such as Syria, Iran, Ukraine and Nigeria, Obama emphasized that "America must always lead on the world stage." But he underscored that not every global problem has a military solution. Obama Plans To Leave Residual Force Of 9,800 In Afghanistan (This post was last updated at 3:00 p.m. ET.) President Obama announced on Tuesday a plan to leave a residual force of 9,800 service members in Afghanistan beyond 2014. By 2016, most troops will be out of the country. "It's time to turn the page on more than a decade in which so much of our foreign policy was focused on... wars in Afghanistan and Iraq," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden. Obama Seeks Wider Authority To Release Drug Offenders By Liz Halloran, NPR • Apr 21, 2014 Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday that the Obama administration is formulating new rules that would give it, and the president, far more latitude to pardon or reduce the sentences of thousands of drug offenders serving long federal prison sentences. The move comes amid a broad national reconsideration of mandatory minimum sentences approved by Congress in 1986, when America's big cities were in the grip of a crack cocaine-fueled crime wave. Immigration Activists Chain Themselves to MLK Statue to Protest Obama Policies By Lynn Romero • Apr 10, 2014 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT News Protesters gathered on the UT campus to protest President Obama's immigration policies during his speech today at the Civil Rights Summit. Some chained themselves to the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. on campus and many brandished signs deriding the president for strict deportation strategies in light of the event which highlights equal rights. "We want them to recognize that the fight for civil rights is not over," said student organizer Maria Reza. "Enough talk – we need action." Pages1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

Royal Bank of Scotland appears to be taking steps to deal with mounting pressure from the U.K. government to jettison its Citizens Bank franchise in the United States, including the Pittsburgh region's second-largest bank.
On Thursday, RBS will issue its latest financial results and discuss its intention to sell a 15 percent to 25 percent stake in RBS Citizens within two years. It would be a first step in eventually selling off all of RBS Citizen's, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
Citizens Bank — the region's second-largest retail bank, with 132 branches — is part of RBS Citizens Financial Group, in Providence, R.I., which is Royal Bank of Scotland's banking unit in the United States.
By selling off a partial stake, RBS can get an idea how much potential buyers are willing to pay, said Nancy A. Bush, an analyst for SNL Financial.
The U.K. government, which owns 81 percent of RBS, has been pressuring the bank for months to sell its U.S. operations, analysts say. The government stake stems from bailing out RBS at a cost of nearly $73 billion in 2008.
RBS CEO Stephen Hester is nearing the end of a five-year restructuring plan, which has shrunk the bank's balance sheet by more than $1 trillion but has still left U.K. taxpayers sitting on a paper loss of $21 billion on its stake.
While the plan may take time to implement, banks or other acquirers may be interested in bidding for RBS Citizens sooner, attracted by its 1,500 retail branches in 12 eastern states and the Midwest.
Analysts have said possible bidders likely will be foreign banks, such as Toronto Dominion or TD, Scotia Bank or BNP Paribas. The only American bank with enough financial heft and without much branch overlap might be U.S. Bancorp, Minneapolis, they said.
The largest U.S. banks — Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citibank — are less likely candidates to acquire RBS Citizens, if it were available, analysts say. Not only would they likely run afoul of antitrust regulators' concerns about deposit market concentration, but the federal government does not want "too big to fail" banks to get even bigger.
Bush said large regional banks like U.S. Bancorp or PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh might want to buy RBS Citizens, but regulators would be unlikely to approve such a merger. "They don't want to make a very large institution," she said. More likely would be a deal with TD Bank, which "wouldn't have this size problem," she said. A sale to a private equity investor also is possible.
Regional banks such as PNC and U.S. Bank are focusing on the Southeast, she said. In 2011, PNC acquired the American retail banking operation of Royal Bank of Canada with 400 branches. "I don't even know why PNC gets mentioned," on Citizens, Bush said. A PNC spokesman declined to comment.
RBS Citizens also could be split up geographically to more than one buyer. "It would be difficult, but it can be done," she said.
