Hong-Chih Kuo
2008-05-12 08:35:00 Los Angels Dodgers' manager Joe Torre used Hong-Chih Kuo to clean-up the mess back-up close Jonathan Broxton made when he took the mound to open the 8th inning with a 3-1 lead. Kuo earned that trust by compiling very impressive strikeout totals - 33 in 24.1 innings. Last night, he finished the 8th and pitched the 9th. He struck out just one and allowed a run on three hits.If something were to happen that kept closer Takishi Saito out of the role for an extended period of time, do not be surprised to see Kuo get more of an opportunity than anyone would think. Gaining Joe Torre's trust is more important than pure skill.

Disk Encryption Not Used To Secure Hong Kong Hospital Data
2008-05-06 07:33:00 Theft of memory sticks?the USB kind, I guess?account for the data breach of more than 6000 patients in Hong Kong public hospitals. In the past year, nine memory sticks have been stolen from five hospitals. A task force is being set up to investigate the security issue, and will recommend solutions in three months to avoid recurrences. According to the Hospital Authority chief executive Shane Solomon, the small data storage devices were stolen not because of the data they contained, but because of the intrinsic value of the devices. This assessment comes from the fact that the patient data has not shown up anywhere to date. Of course, some would point out that this is a fallacy in reasoning, since there is no need for that information to show up. After all, patient information doesn?t have an expiration date. Whether the patient information shows up one year after the breach of five years afterwards (or much later) depends on the criminals? ...

Hong Kong has world’s priciest rents; LA’s 31st
2008-04-22 03:04:00 Annual survey of global rents by ECA International, corporate human resources consultants, finds that Hong Kong’s still the priciest big city on the planet to rent a typical three-bedroom apartment. Cost, in U.S. do9llars by ECA’s math? $9,734 a month! Compare that to a global big-city average of $2,950. Six of the top 10 priciest locales were in Asia — Hong Kong plus Tokyo (4th), Mumbai (6th), Seoul (7th), Singapore (9th) and Ho Chi Minh City (10th.) Moscow (2nd), New York (3rd), London (5th), and Caracas (8th) filled out the top 10 of the 92-city study of rents, in U.S. dollars, as of September ‘07. Read more HERE! ECA doesn’t track O.C. rents. (Latest average local rent, per Real Facts, was $1,696. Don’t know if that’s comparable to ECA’s numbers, though!) But ECA found L.A. rents rank 31st on the globe, down from No. 29 the previous year. San Francisco was 23rd; San Diego was 66th. The cheapest on this list? Karachi in Pakistan.

Hong Kong x Tokyo. A recap. Part II.
2008-04-17 03:36:00 OK. Onto the Tokyo part of my trip. I stayed in Shinjuku, so I was in the Ginza/ Shinjuku/ Harajuku area quite a bit. And then, I went to the other shopping hot spot Shibuya as well. Akihabara for all my electronic/ techno needs (massive massive stores), sight seeing at Asakusa and a day trip to Yokohama. I won't bore you with the details, but it consisted of a whole lot of shopping, walking around and eating. You know- ramen and sushi and all that good authentic Japanese food. A special mention must be made for the Tsukiji fish market as the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. A tourist area for sure, but the food was fantastic. Long lines for a sushi breakfast- impossibly fresh and the best sushi I've ever tasted.On the fashion front, Harajuku had these grand flagships so I went snap happy:The signature black and white Chanel look reflected in the color scheme of the store. I love the color blocking and it's style is classic with a twist- an embodiment of th...

Da Hong Yun Shanghai Restaurant in Richmond
2008-04-14 11:00:00 Have any of you ever been to this Shanghainese restaurant right across No 3 Road from the Richmond Centre Mall? For some reason, they had been changing hands several times over the years. I am not sure why because they seem to do very well as evidenced by how packed it is all the time. It is now called Da Hong Yun but I remember they used to be called Shanghai Wind and at another time it was called Chen’s. We went there because we were enticed by the Live Crab banner that they put up outside. The restaurant is smallish with something like 10 tables at the max. It’s so cramped that it was hard to move around once all the tables were filled. Decor wise, there is nothing much to it (why they even have Chinese New Year decorations still hanging in the store even today). This is a very traditional Chinese restaurant which means that they cater to mainly Chinese customers. It’s because there is only one waitress who could barely managed to communicate in English....

U.S., Hong Kong, top 'e-ready' economies
2008-04-14 04:35:00 The latest "e-readiness" ranking of the world's largest economies puts the U.S. on top, followed closely by Hong Kong. The annual survey examines the information and communication technology (ICT) of 70 economies, using a model developed by the Economist Intelligence Unit in cooperation with the IBM Institute for Business. According to the survey, some European countries that had dominated the list slipped over the past year. Denmark, which had topped the rankings for four years, dropped to fifth place. Switzerland, Finland and the United Kingdom also slid. Iran again held the last place. "The world's most developed digital economies -- and many less developed ones -- continue to record impressive gains in broadening access to ICT and making digital services available to the population," says Robin Bew, Editorial Director of the Economist Intelligence Unit. "It is hard work to maintain this progress, however, and even the leaders have much to do to transla...

Torre sends Loaiza to pen; Hong-Chih Kuo to start
2008-04-13 14:37:00 Manager Joe Torre has reworked his starting rotation, sending right-hander Esteban Loaiza to the bullpen — at least temporarily — and giving Loaiza's next scheduled start Tuesday against Pittsburgh to left-hander Hong-Chih Kuo. Kuo hasn't given up a run in 6 ²⁄³ innings this season, including a 3 ²⁄³-inning effort in relief of Chad Billingsley last week in Arizona."It's nice to have a lefty in the starting rotation," Torre said. "What I saw from him the other day, he threw a lot of strikes. Looked very determined. [I'm] just curious to see if that's going to work as a starter."Loaiza, who has pitched in relief only 38 times in 369 career appearances, was clearly disappointed with Torre's move and said he wasn't told why it was made.

Hong Kong companies considering relocation to Indonesia
2008-04-09 02:19:00 A number of Hong Kong companies are looking into the possibility of relocating their plants to Indonesia, an executive said. "Today we are going to visit Surabaya to look at possible locations for the plants," chairman of the Indonesia-China Business Council Alim Markus said after accompanying a number of Chinese businessmen at a meeting with Vice President Jusuf Kalla here on Tuesday. The Hong Kong companies considered Indonesia a very potential market, he said. Chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and Industry Wing Kee Chan said China`s declining competitive edge and newly-enacted labor regulation were among the reasons why the Hong Kong companies wished to relocate their plants to Indonesia. "Given the regulation, China`s labor wages become higher than Indonesia`s. The second is that China`s business area has moved to the mainland so transportation costs have jumped accordingly," Chan said.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-
