俄機場二百億歐元現鈔無人領
【本報訊】據外電莫斯科三十日消息：俄羅斯首都莫斯科的謝列梅捷沃機場有一筆二百億歐元（折合約二千○九十億八千萬港元）的神秘巨款，文件倉過去六年來一直無人認領，有人猜測可能是伊拉克前已故獨裁者薩達姆的秘密資金。消息指出，這筆巨款放在兩百個木盤內，各有一億歐元現鈔，全都是一百歐元，堆積如山。由於一直無人認領，巨款現時存放在機場一個保存倉嚴密的倉庫內。俄羅斯海關一直要求巨款的真正主人現身，但迄今都未能確定巨款主人的身份。以前曾有多人自稱是巨款主人，但一直未能提供確鑿證據，甚至有人企圖冒領，但都被識破。《莫斯科共青團員報》日前引述一名情報消息人士說："這可能是薩達姆的秘密資金。"如果不是薩達姆，也有人猜測可能是利比亞前獨裁者卡扎菲，又或是俄羅斯黑手黨或貪官。儲存

McGladrey Classic winner will get more perks
Source: The Florida Times-Union, JacksonvilleSept.自存倉 30--ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- The McGladrey Classic is worth points on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup for the first time, and the winner will be invited to the Masters Tournament for the first time.That player also will leave the Sea Island Resort following the final round on Nov. 10 with a lot more change in his pocket: $990,000 from a purse of $5.5 million, an increase of 37.5 percent over the $4 million purse that was at stake for the first three years of the tournament.MCGLADREY CLASSIC TICKET INFORMATIONThe purse increase was announced on Monday at the McGladrey Classic media day, along with an early commitment list for the fourth edition of the tournament that includes nine major champions: Classic host Davis Love III, fellow St. Simons resident Zach Johnson, Jim Furyk of Ponte Vedra Beach, Stewart Cink, Darren Clarke, Mark Calcavecchia, Retief Goosen, Trevor Immelman, Justin Leonard and Mike Weir.Also committing are three past Players champions, Fred Funk of Ponte Vedra, Matt Kuchar of St. Simons and Tim Clark.Defending champion Tommy Gainey, who shot 60 in the final round last year, said becoming part of the FedEx Cup and the perk of getting an invitation to the Masters (and a two-year exemption onto the PGA Tour, including The Players Championship) should tempt players who have never competed at the Seaside Course."It should make the field stronger," Gainey said. "Davis Love is the host and what a great host. McGladrey is a great title sponsor. Sea Island is a great place to be, with a great course and great people. Now that it's in the FedEx Cup should make these players want to come on down even more."Then Gainey added: "I guess I won it a year too early."The McGladrey will be the fifth tournament of the Tour's new hybrid schedule. The 2013-2014 season begins with the Frys.com Open in San Martin, Calif., Oct. 10-13.Love said he's hearing more people talk in public about the FedEx Cup and the McGladrey Classic, which said is an indication of how the FedEx Cup has becoming familiar to golf fans after seven years."Fans are excited about the FedEx Cup, mini storagend I hear that more and more, which is great for the PGA Tour," he said. "People are associating the event with the FedEx Cup. It's nice in October and November to hear people are already talking about next year's FedEx Cup. That and the Masters invitation are the two things people really understand about the difference in the schedule."A bump in visibility for the McGladrey Classic is just what the title sponsors want to hear. McGladrey renewed the original three-year deal for another three years in 2011 and incoming chairman of the board Craig Radke anticipates the relationship to last a long time."If it attracts a better field, gets a few more TV viewers and coverage ... it makes a huge difference," Radke said. "The fall events used to be kind of fun, a little competition to get up on the money list and probably more important to the middle-level player and not the big names. Being part of the FedEx and the Masters invite will enhance the tournament and enhance the experience of our clients."Love said the structural changes made to the McGladrey Classic and its spot on the PGA Tour calendar are a matter of making a good thing even better. Counting the players committed to next month's tournament, there have been 22 major champions and 10 Players champions to enter the McGladrey, plus the last three FedEx Cup champions, Henrik Stenson, Brandt Snedeker and Furyk.Wasserman Sports Media Group, which conducts independent surveys on the strength of fields on the PGA Tour, did a 2011 study in which McGladrey's field that year was ranked higher than 11 FedEx Cup events."Will that [joining the FedEx Cup] make a big difference in our field?" Love asked. "We've already been so successful with our field. When you're not a FedEx event and your field is better than a lot of them, it's hard to beat them. We're going to get more than our share of guys that week and we're going to have a very good field."Garry Smits: (904) 359-4362Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Florida Times-Union (Jacksonville, Fla.)

Mural illustrates victims of globalization
Source: Cape Cod Times, Hyannis, Mass.儲存倉Sept. 30--The stories behind the metaphor-packed mural "MesoAmerica Resiste" -- a critique on the impact of globalization on indigenous peoples -- are as intricate as the mural's carefully etched drawings.On Sunday afternoon, The Beehive Design Collective, a Maine-based group of artists and activists, presented "MesoAmerica Resiste," the third installment in a series focused on free trade, militarization and globalization, at the Wellfleet Preservation Hall.Local political activist Kristin Knowles arranged for the collective to present the mural, which was originally inked on paper and then copied onto recyclable material for transport."MesoAmerica Resiste," which took more than nine years to create and was worked on by more than 20 artists, focuses specifically on globalization from central Mexico through Central America. It depicts indigenous peoples' stories gathered by collective members -- who are all known by their first names and the last name "Bee" -- who visited the area to conduct interviews with community groups and individuals.Globalization "has displaced a lot of people there and caused massive devastation to the ecosystem," said Emma Bee, a member of the collective and an activist.The collective, which was originally formed as a stone mosaic project in 2000, aims to "cross-pollinate the grass roots," and the goal of "MesoAmerica Resiste" is "to amplify the voices telling these different stories," Emma said.While Emma said people have "all different responses" to the murals, she believes "audiences a迷你倉最平l over the world can relate to it."Upon completion of a mural, the collective, comprising entirely volunteers, tours the United States and presents its work along with an explanation of the inspiration behind it."It does help greatly to have these 'worker bees' explaining in great detail," said Barbara Britton of Eastham.She missed the collective's two-hour presentation but received an overview while admiring the mural with her friend, Naomi Zurcher of Lucerne, Switzerland."I like the idea that they used animals so you don't get into any predetermined ideas about who's important and who isn't," said Zurcher, referring to the murals' depiction of people as ants, bees and other insects and animals.The mural depicts more than 400 species of indigenous animals and more than 100 types of native plants, Emma said.The collective receives donations from individuals and groups and sells prints of its murals, the money from which is used to fund research trips and, recently, to restore a community hall in Machias, Maine, where the group is based."We needed a space to do this work in and organize in," Emma said.The collective does not do fundraising for the communities it visits because it is "not a charity," but it donates posters to the communities so they can be used as organizing tools, Emma said."We're looking to make a connection with people," Emma said, "and spread global communities."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Cape Cod Times (Hyannis, Mass.)

所謂的基本因素變化
舉兩個例子： Apple 沒有了Steve Jobs 是真正的基本因素變化；聯儲局退市與否則不是。Apple 最近出的iPhone 5c 以及5s，儲存已經見到其江郎才盡。兩隻iPhone，一個標榜五隻顏色和便宜，一個標榜香檳金色加快速處理器及相機；甚至iPhone 5s 標榜用指模開機而不須記密碼，搞來搞去都不過是在外形、價格和某些「特殊功能」上作文章。 先別說五隻顏色有多「娘」以致有幾「膠」（真的非常塑膠的感覺，很兒戲），就算真的不計較外形顏色，反正iPhone 一向都可另置保護殼，也因為可裝保護殼，因此大可以選擇不同款式的殼以滿足個人要求，甚至在殼上加貼紙改造，而這些亦所費無幾，又可以自行創作。因此，無論原機是什麼顏色，用家對之興趣實在不大。 以往iPhone 熱潮時，顏色選擇也很少，卻未因而受冷落。至於用指模開機，其實有點兒那個，用家又不是特務，要那麼高度的防禦幹嘛？至於更快的相機就更奇怪；情形和電視機高清（甚至更高清）相似：高清到連演員粉底有幾厚都看得出，意義究竟在哪？相機很快，比手指快N 倍，對於只想方方便便求求其其可以隨手影相的大部分用家來說說，又有什麼作用？ 最�命還是高層的態度：這次做了（大家認為）正確的決定。對於一直帶動潮流的公司來說，態度由「我才是最型」變成「大家認為正確」，基本上已經簽了死刑判決書。下下要靠市場顧問和公司委員會做一大堆無甚方向的研究，等完報告才決定，又或者只靠一班技術人員閉門造車搞出來，恐怕是浪費資源和時間。結果不是慢一步就是不對頭。 這時會有專家跳出來：不對，這樣說法不對。做生意要謹慎，要準備充足，要知道用家的需求，要知道競爭對手的定位，然後步步收窄，歸納出大家都「需要」的手機。須知在沒有任何準備下推出，就算成功也只是「符碌」（行運），對於下一次的成功是沒有保證，只會暴發暴敗而已。 此意見原則甚對，然而沒對準Apple 的產品和行業定位：潮的智能消費品。這個行業，由平台、apps、硬件部分（ 不論外殼、CPU、鏡頭等等），本身都是周期極短，需要推陳出新的產品。簡言之，是追求「快而準」，而非「沒有缺憾和錯誤」的行業。所謂快而準，除了換代快以外，更要打中消費者還未自我察覺的要求。須知人的喜惡既不可以字面理解，也難以單靠統計去分析，要靠並不準確但直觀的感覺。偏偏這種才能卻不是人人擁有，也不是可以苦學勤修所得到。在Apple 這家公司內，也只有逝世的Steve Jobs才能夠辦到。 siri潛力未有發揮 回想一下當初iPhone 第一代出現之時，機身重、屏幕不比Samsung大、電池耐用性也比Nokia 差、收發弱、連SMS 都欠奉，如果真的拆散逐樣比，作為「手機」的功能近乎不合格，也遠遜其他牌子。但是，靠iOS 平台、靠免費╱低廉的下載歌曲影視、靠大量的免費apps，和靠極為簡單易用的介面，就已經足以掩蓋其他的缺點了。之後逐步把先前缺點改善之餘，在iPhone 4s 開始推的siri，至今仍未有好評，但本身其實算是新嘗試。目的都很清晰：貫徹手機不再只是用來通話上網，而是人類的生活夥伴。 可是，現時管理層的方向，卻只集中在顏色、功能、價格，和沒有犯錯上，而沒有理會繼續發展主題self storage人類的生活夥伴」上。就以siri 為例，既然能夠在美國境內做到語音搜尋和預約之類的服務，為什麼不在此基礎上繼續發展，在全球其他地區都能做各種預約服務？又或者做到siri 可自行使用一些（已和Apple 合作）的apps 提供各種服務？為什麼siri 的語言系統至今識別力仍有限，對於某些口語和用語仍認不清楚？ 此外，除iPhone 和iPad，先前期許過的iTV 及各種智能消費品又在哪�？為什麼只能在iPad 的大小上做文章？然後在外形和價格上吸引新興國家，如中國的這種老橋段，令智能手機市場已淪為商品市場？這可能在技術上有困難，但看到高層缺乏冒險精神，甚至連發布會都跟足和現時管理層格格不入的Steve Jobs 風格，則Apple 在既缺先行者領袖，又未能跟從這行業和Apple 的致勝之道下，這改變是根本性的，是基礎因素改變，就算一再在股價上計算在內，仍不足以完全包含未來盈利能力的減弱。這才可能形成較長的下降趨勢。 至於說聯儲局退不退市本身不是基礎因素的改變，關鍵不在於注入銀行體系的錢多少和利率高低的問題，而是聯儲局本身運作的方式，以及其工作目標都沒有出現根本變化的問題。只要聯儲局繼續通過公開市場運作，以達到同時維持經濟增長和控制通脹及失業率的目標的話，則變化只是貨幣的供應量，而非決定供應的標準，是量變而非質變。在這種變化下，只要根據已知的資料做分析，找尋不同變量的關係，則不論通過長短倉還是衍生工具買賣，均可以用很短時間就讓銀行和參與者對�風險，甚至影響股價變化向�對自己有利的倉位。簡單說，即是價格很早和很快已經能夠包含這種預期變化。 那麼，加息又算不算基礎變化？也不算。加息這措施本身欲遏制的東西的根源，即由科技或社會體系變化所引發的經濟復蘇及相應的通脹，則算得上是基礎變化。例如由尼克遜廢除金本位、列根減少政府對工商界的監管，剛好配合上電腦和科網潮的近30 年變化所帶來的經濟大牛市。這種情況下利好的因素得以持續甚至增加，令價格無法完全包含未來變化，這才令價格呈現上升趨勢。 薩默斯墮馬反映人心 以現況而言，美國反而是政府政策可引起基礎因素的變化。當中一大表徵是受美國總統奧巴馬信任，卻不受其他政客歡迎，主張減稅減開支甚至減少貨幣供應，讓經濟「自然好」的人薩默斯Larry Summers宣布不角逐聯儲局的主席的消息反而非常根本。由於奧巴馬似乎對經濟如何結構和變化不熟，其信任之人影響頗大。薩默斯就是其信任的人，現在卻「出師不利」，證明其相關的經濟政策不得到國會議員和其他人的心。 至此其他的人選，至今為止看，不是同意繼續泵錢規模的一派，就是同意通過政府的財政政策將泵出來的錢散入市場的人。後者的影響可以跟隨政策需要維持數年，並改變自奧巴馬上台以來企業經營沒有表面看那麼風光的問題，而改變資金流向。這種情況下，同樣不是短期價格變化就可以左右得了的。 其他如中國在上海設立自貿區，以及將來的資本賬開放，就更不是短期價格變化一次過能夠完全消化掉。這些因素才是基礎因素而非路邊社新聞，也更值得注意。 本欄逢周二刊出《信報》博客： http ︰//forum.hkej.com/user/2971 陳大為dtwchan@yahoo.com迷利倉
Tulsa's financial management systems would get upgrade with funding package
Source: Tulsa World, Okla.自存倉Sept. 30--The computer program responsible for tracking hundreds of millions of dollars in city spending appears on the screen entirely as plain text against a black background.It's the stuff of 1980s pride."Technology's just evolved quite a bit since the foundation for this system was put in place," Information Technology Director T.L. Cox said.The city's financial management system, which was launched in 1993 and still handles all purchasing and budget management through an interface similar to MS-DOS, would be replaced under Improve Our Tulsa, the $918.7 million capital funding package headed to voters Nov. 12.It's a $10 million chunk of $39.6 million in information technology software and equipment upgrades that would touch every city department and the services they offer residents."If you've got employees that have better and more effective technology at their disposal, they in turn can ... more effectively serve the citizens," Cox said."It's really impossible to effectively serve the citizens without relying on some kind of technological component."The financial system is used extensively by the city's 12 budget-making personnel and tracks almost every dollar of the city's $711 million budget. It's also used in every department to keep track of their own budgets throughout the year.As Finance Director Mike Kier puts it, the city wouldn't work without it."You cannot manually ... keep track of $700 million dollars worth of activities," he said. "If we didn't have automated systems, it would probably take 4,000 employees" to keep tabs on city spending.Unlike the 30-year-old police and courts records management system, which also would be replaced under Improve Our Tulsa, the finance tech isn't entirely outdated yet, Cox said.Its interface is clunky and slow, but its developer still provides maintenance support and it's still used in the private sector, he said.The problem from an IT management perspective is that it uses an aging code system that has fallen out of favor, meaning that increamini storageingly fewer IT professionals in the work force know its ins-and-outs, Cox said.For those who actually use the program, the problems go deeper than that, Kier said.Inadequacies in the system force budget personnel to do most of their work in Excel spreadsheets. Once the information is inputted into INFOR, errors are easy to overlook, he said."The fact that the people that are working in (city) finance as well as across this organization are using limiting tools to do their job is really kind of a disservice to those employees and therefore a disservice to the citizens," Kier said."The efficiency with which we can get our job done is really, I think, something that the average citizen might not be aware of but has great influence on city operations."Improve Our Tulsa would also fund $23.1 million in IT capital expenses identified in a 2012 equipment study.That includes fiber cables, servers, routers and data storage -- "things that frankly, aren't as interesting to read about" but are vital to the city's technology infrastructure, Cox said.That equipment will be cheaper to maintain and more efficient than existing equipment and will "enable the (IT) department to maintain and in some cases enhance the underlying technology that all of this other stuff is housed upon," he said.A consultant who recently criticized the IT department as inefficient determined at the same time that the city has failed to invest adequately in technology infrastructure over the years, Cox said.Improve Our Tulsa would begin to resolve that problem while allowing the city to implement some of the consultant's organizational recommendations by freeing up positions with savings in equipment maintenance costs, Cox said.Five-year equipment needs: $23.1 millionNew financial system: $10 millionNew police/courts records management systems: $6.53 millionZack Stoycoff 918-581-8486zack.stoycoff@tulsaworld.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

Collaboration is the name of the game in research
THE modern university is a vibrant and important part of society - providing highly skilled and educated manpower and a source of discovery and innovation.儲存Usually funded by the public sector, it is seen by society and governments primarily as a national institution. But now there is a new trend in internationalisation. Students are more mobile and a global marketplace is developing for higher education, while research is substantially international in character. In the challenges facing today's society - such as new demographics and healthcare, environment and climate change - universities are now at the forefront of global research.Collaborative research is the name of the game with more than two-thirds of all research papers having authors from different institutions and over one-third of all papers having authors from more than one country.There is also another phenomenon at work in terms of internationalisation, with new academic partnerships becoming the "order of the day" based on mutual academic esteem. One aspect of this trend is the physical presence of institutions from one country in another.Singapore is a prime example of this trend which, with government support, has brought institutions, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich and Cambridge University to the country in close partnership with local universities. Two of the most significant examples are the Technical University of Munich's work with the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and BMW and the new medical school at NTU which is a joint operation between ourselves and Imperial College London.Universities have generally shown themselves to be capable of rapid change to meet these new challenges. The expectation that universities will also be delivering economic benefits to society has been accompanied by an increasing involvement of commerce and industry in both research and teaching.Many of the world's major multinational companies, themselves a manifestation of the "global village", are now working in close partnership with universities.I have always believed in the Humboldtian ethos of a university combining the intimate relations of teaching and research and now we can add a third component which is that of the provision of societal benefit. What better way to do this than in close cooperation with the private sector?Major global industry is attracted to regions where one finds the best universities because they provide the talent pool at all levels from first-degree holders to post-doctoral fellows. In addition, industry wants to be able to work closely with u儲存倉iversities in the development of discovery and innovation. In so doing, commerce and industry are a valuable source of research funding as well as the provider of much expertise to these research partnerships.Such industry-university partnerships are recognition of a trend towards greater "utilitarian" research for the national benefit. Can this be reconciled with the academic need to have open publications and citations? Here at NTU, we believe that this can be achieved by working on forefront technological problems.The latest measurement of this relationship is the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit Innovation Index, compiled with Thomson-Reuters (which was published as a precursor to the forthcoming THE World Academic Summit 2013 to be held at the NTU in Singapore on Oct 2-4, 2013).Examining the income from industry that institutions attract per university researcher, the Index is dominated by the Asian countries, which make up half of the world's top 10. Singapore comes in second place just behind South Korea. This reflects both the rise of Asian universities and their increasing attractiveness for investment by global companies.For Singapore, it is further evidence of the success of the far-sighted government policy to move rapidly towards the "knowledge-based" economy, especially through its very substantial investment in its universities. From a low start more than a decade ago, Singapore is now clearly in the top echelon of "research countries".For the universities, it provides not only an additional source of income but also access to special facilities and, more importantly, the ability to address important problems which require solution.For the companies, the relationship provides access to the latest thinking by working with faculty and also to the new talent emerging from the latest research projects.For students involved in such activities, it provides exposure to industry and, hopefully, a privileged entry into the world of work. Thus everyone ends up a winner.Finally, the outcome of research can often be more quickly taken to the innovation stage for the benefit of the local economy through exploitation of the research by the company.Of course, such agreements have to be carefully designed on the basis of mutual respect and the sharing of intellectual property and both sides have to do their due diligence but, overall, everyone benefits.Having said this, it is important that a university has the resources and ability to support and develop more basic blue skies research.Bertil Andersson is president of Nanyang Technological University迷你倉最平
《新聞分析》雙寶合體 對抗比亞迪
眾所周知，迷你倉比亞迪自從去年重新大動作加碼電子代工業務後，便以智慧型手機與行動裝置為主要切入點，一出手就擄獲眾多品牌客戶的心；惠普便將低價平板電腦代工交由比亞迪操刀，尤其比亞迪與諾基亞之間的合作關係，比起比亞迪與惠普的關係，還要更為密切，諾基亞的機種從電池、機構零組件到手機整機組裝等環節，處處可見比亞迪身影。為什麼比亞迪這麼受青睞？關鍵就在於，就智慧型手機來說，比亞迪擁有華寶所沒有的經濟規模，而就平板電腦這類行動運算裝置來看，比亞迪也擁有仁寶所沒有的客戶關係。這就是為什麼，華寶每年只能從諾基亞拿到寥寥兩、三款中價與低價智慧型手機代工訂單，而仁寶也很難拿到惠普筆記型電腦代工訂單以外的產品，或是分到華為平板電腦代工訂單的一杯羹。尤其隨著微軟買文件倉諾基亞手機部門、成為諾基亞新老板，仁寶長期以來與微軟所建立的客戶關係，在這時終於可以派上用場，華寶在行動運算領域所累積的客戶關係，讓仁寶可以多接觸PC以外的客戶群之外，仁寶量產的經濟規模還能壯大華寶的聲勢、又能搭上集團化研發、製造到零組件供應一條鞭的流行列車，都讓仁寶、華寶合併從策略上來看，好處多多。雖然策略規畫都很美好，不過說到底，雙方整併能達到什麼程度，才是合併能否發揮1加1大於2的關鍵，畢竟不成功案例比比皆是，比如說，曾經靠著替蘋果代工IPOD而雄霸一方的英華達，自從併回英業達以來，並沒有替英業達帶來預期中的綜效，另外，從一條鞭的始作俑者鴻海，更已率先開始分拆集團事業以利上市，仁寶合併華寶的效益如何、方向是否正確，仍有待時間觀察。存倉

WVU defeats Oklahoma State, 30-21
Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.儲存倉 29--MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The third quarterback was the charm for West Virginia.When redshirt freshman Ford Childress was forced out with a torn pectoral this week after an embarrassing loss last week to Maryland, the Mountaineers turned to junior Clint Trickett, the third quarterback to start for West Virginia in five weeks.Trickett, with just six snaps on the season before Saturday, battled inexperience and a late shoulder injury to sling 24 completions on 50 passes for 309 yards and a touchdown to topple unbeaten No. 11 Oklahoma State, the Big 12 Conference favorite, in a shocking 30-21 upset at Milan Puskar Stadium.It was a proper homecoming for Trickett, who grew up in Morgantown and transferred from Florida State this summer. His father, Rick, was a West Virginia assistant coach for a decade and coaches the Seminoles' offensive line.This time, the final, familiar chorus of "Country Roads" was especially sweet."It was a special moment," Trickett said, wearing a grin.Special, too, because the Mountaineers (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) were shut out a week earlier, yet Trickett managed to defeat Oklahoma State (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) and its top-20 ranked defense.Trickett displayed an uncanny ability to extend plays and elude defenders in a collapsing pocket, though, "I ain't Pat White, that's for sure," he joked.There were plenty of hiccups, too. Trickett's two interceptions and communication issues between West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen and his first-time starting quarterback resulted in a few Holgorsen tirades on the sideline and a smashed headset or two.In the end, though, Trickett made it work -- whatever "it" was."There were some things out there that we ran that we didn't even work on all week," offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said, shrugging. "I don't know [what] they were."Maybe it was home-field advantage, maybe it was a rookie's luck, but after allowing an early 73-yard Cowboys touchdown pass from quarterback J.W. Walsh to receiver Josh Stewart, every snap, bounce and whistle seemed to bounce the Mountaineers' way early.Eight minutes into the game, Walsh was intercepted by West Virginia cornerback Ishmael Banks. Banks, the coaches' challenge to turn turnovers into points fresh in his mind, darted up the sideline and dived to the pylon for the defense's first return for a touchdown in two years."It was a dream come true, really," Banks said. "Doing it on this stage means a迷你倉最平lot."Trickett then engineered an eight-play, 70-yard drive and capped it with a 17-yard touchdown strike to receiver Kevin White, the first career West Virginia score for both players, to take a 14-7 lead.And then came the good fortune. Linebacker Brandon Golson forced a fumble. Kicker Josh Lambert lined up for a 45-yard try and had it clank off the left upright, but Holgorsen had called a timeout an instant earlier, icing his own kicker. Lambert still drilled the second try.Then, late in the first half, West Virginia running back Charles Sims answered an Oklahoma State touchdown with a 1-yard run to pull ahead, 23-14. The extra point was blocked and returned the length of the field by the Cowboys, but it was negated by a flag for offsides, and Lambert made his second chance count -- again."This is how breaks work: If you play with a tremendous amount of effort and you try really hard, you get breaks because of it," Holgorsen said. "It's not a coincidence."But the breaks broke the other way once the Mountaineers took the field for the third quarter.On the opening kickoff, receiver Ronald Carswell fumbled, recovered and was tackled at the 3. Later, receiver Jordan Thompson waved for a fair catch at the 3, too.Walsh found Jeremy Seaton for a 30-yard touchdown pass three minutes into the half and, just like that, all that was left was a three-point lead against a prolific Oklahoma State offense averaging 45.3 points per game.Lambert had a 50-yard field goal blocked and shanked a 34-yard try.Then, Trickett came up limp after a hit, holding his right shoulder. He ran up the tunnel and into the locker room.When a Cowboys comeback seemed inevitable, the defense sparked a rush of momentum with a goal-line stand and forced a missed field goal to maintain a 24-21 lead."[The defense] played well," Holgorsen said. "Golly they played well."Trickett trotted back out five minutes later, good fortune on his side. He came out firing, leading a 10-play drive into Cowboys territory that ended in a field goal and a 27-21 lead.Walsh threw an interception to redshirt senior safety Darwin Cook two plays later, and Lambert kicked a 34-yard field goal to seal the victory and start the celebration.Stephen J.

「影子銀行家」張化橋：內銀藏泡沫無損投資價值
2011 年中，mini storage有「民企之父」之稱的張化橋辭任了瑞銀投資銀行業務副主管這份高薪厚職，卻沒有加入另一間投行，當他離開國金二期的辦公室，作了一個令大家大吃一驚的決定：隻身前往廣州，加入一家「影子銀行」——廣州萬穗小額貸款公司。不過這名懷�改革夢想的「金融貴族」，未能成功令萬穗找到能大展拳腳的盈利模式，然而，他卻對中國銀行系統更加深了解，「我覺得中國的銀行業正在往泡沫危機的方向走，但另一方面，我看好銀行板塊的股價表現」。明報記者魏嘉儀、陸振球攝影郭慶輝張化橋前年離開瑞銀去到廣州萬穗出任新董事長，但由於政策限制，萬穗發展處處受到掣肘。一年後張化橋離開萬穗的日常運營職位，開創了慢牛投資公司，主要投資他們認為商業模式有潛力的小貸公司。信貸泡沫將掀中國金融海嘯張化橋在新書《影子銀行危局中國的金融海嘯？》中，提到不少投資者認為美國部署退市，金融海嘯危機已過，卻忽略中國累積了二三十年的信貸泡沫，正醞釀全球新一浪海嘯。魔鬼藏身銀行體系泡沫的源頭，是否就是當前受人詬病的「影子銀行」呢？張化橋在書中提到，自己跳進人稱「美國次按危機源頭」的影子銀行�，發現影子銀行很大程度上被妖魔化了， 「相較傳統銀行，影子銀行更為多樣化，並擁有合法的客戶基礎。更重要的是，影子銀行所蒙受的損失，通常被企業家自己消化吸收」。借貸成特權階級專利加速兩極化「我認為中國現在已經在積累信貸泡沫，但影子銀行僅僅是魔鬼的影子，真正的魔鬼仍在銀行體系�。」張化橋認為，影子銀行之所以在中國蓬勃發展，原因是長期的「金融遏抑」。由於銀行利率始終在低位徘徊，從1990 年代起中國曾出現3 次歷時較長的負真實利率時期（即銀行的存款迷你倉率低於通脹率）， 「存款者不得不尋找更有利可圖的金融產品，而負利率讓中國人錯誤認為貸款利率低，低質量的投資項目看來也不錯，信貸膨脹就開始了，隨之而來的是高通脹水平」。過去12 年中國的貨幣供應量（M2）錄得17.7%的複合年增長率，單是2013 年5 月，還在以15.8%的按年增幅上升，遠高於GDP 的增幅。張化橋表示，有限的信貸額度令銀行借貸成為特權階級的專利，高通脹又進一步蠶食普通民眾購房和其他消費的能力， 「這是中國兩極分化的根本原因」。內銀「背靠祖國」壞帳雖大難倒下張化橋可以一口氣羅列中國銀行業的種種弊端，但他話鋒一轉，表示中國的銀行仍享受可觀增長。談到6 月的「錢荒」，他大斥這是虛張聲勢，人行作為「最終貸款人」，寵慣商業銀行，並將為它們的壞帳包底。另一方面，縱使銀行壞帳率高達10%，亦不是銀行業績表現的決定因素，只要貸款需求和宏觀經濟向好，銀行就會繼續增長， 「中國人存款觀念很強，而且對政府為銀行包底有信心，所以並不關心銀行的壞帳是否嚴重」。張化橋新書�寫對內銀看法的一章，題目叫「不能戰勝它們，就加入它們」，講的就是儘管銀行存在嚴重問題，但仍獲得豐厚利潤，而且目前銀行的估值很吸引，預測市盈率約為6 至7 倍，股息率為5 厘，未來5 至10 年看，這個回報率是很不錯的，而最重要是有關形勢較長期不會有太大改變。持有重農行民行H 股張化橋看好銀行板塊，會稱若要投資，買在港上市的內銀H 股，會勝於內地上市的A 股，原因是香港的資金成本較低和投資者基礎較佳，長期下會令H 股的估值較佳。他自己便持有重農行（3618）和民生銀行（1988）這兩家主推中小額貸款的H 股。文件倉
贛南蘇區最活躍縣域經濟是如何煉成的
目前，self storage南康全市個私經濟稅收已占財政收入的三分之二，其中絕大部分屬個私中小企業。 ; 1990年，在廣東順德樂從一個家具廠打了6年工的劉小剛回到了江西南康老家。他用自己積攢的10萬塊錢，建立了一個生產家具的作坊。今天，他的企業年銷售額近千萬。如同劉小剛這樣，陸續從廣東家具企業打工回來後辦廠的人不在少數。來自南康市家具產業促進局的數據顯示，截至2012年12月，南康有近1000家家具生產企業，其中工商註冊近6000家，實現工業總產值117.5億元，銷售收入114.8億元，從業人數20多萬。南康已經成為江西第一、全國第三的家具產業基地。家具產業成為南康的主導產業之一。在贛南蘇區經濟發展普遍滯後，缺乏亮點的背景下，南康家具產業可謂一個引人注目的亮點。南康在贛南蘇區異軍突起的經驗，值得關注和思考。中部第一大家具基地9月25日的南康，偶有小雨，溫度降到了20度左右。南康泓泰家具產業交易市場外依舊是車水馬龍、一派繁忙景象。�多運輸家具的拖車、小卡車來往穿梭。"受大環境的影響，今年的生意稍微淡了一點，但還可以。"在自己的直營店里照料生意的劉小剛說。在他看來，南康家具產業已經形成了一定的品牌優勢和規模優勢，身處這種地域環境里，抗擊行業波動的能力相對較強。"現在的南康類似于當年的溫州、義烏等地，表面上看，非常混亂，但生機勃勃。"專門到南康調研過南康家具產業的江西企業界人士謝豐州說。他1997年去浙江溫州等地考察市場，當時，溫州、義烏一些專業市場外有很多三輪車、小貨車，顯得異常雜亂、擁擠不堪，這種景象給謝豐州留下了深刻印象。他後來知道，這種混亂恰恰顯示了當地的經濟活力。現在的南康，幾個家具市場聚集的105國道那段，也經常車水馬龍，貨如輪轉，簡直是1990年代溫州等地的縮影。江西省家具協會駐南康辦事處主任廖明兵透露，南康家具產業里的老闆，大部分是南康本地人，也有一部分是安徽、湖南等籍的老闆。產品以實木類家具，皮類家具工廠居多其下有沙發、床、桌椅等�多產品，產品銷往世界各地。南康家具產業現已是除廣東樂從、河北香河、蘇州蠡口、四川武侯之外的又一個全國性的大型家具批發銷售基地；是繼廣東順德、四川成都之後的，中國第三大、中部第一大家具基地。南康也成為中國家具企業數量最多，產品門類最全，產業鏈最完善的縣級城市。2011年南康被中國家具協會授予"中國中部家具產業基地"稱號，並連續兩年被評為"全國優秀家具產業集群"。主導產業隨著南康家具產業的崛起，家具配件、物流、包裝、油漆化工、五金配件、木工機械等相關配套產業也發展起來，更促進了物流運輸、廣告宣傳、包裝印刷、餐飲、娛樂、休閒旅遊、房地產等第三產業的繁榮和發展。在家具等強勢產業的拉動下，南康的酒店、餐飲、娛樂產業也迅速發展。今天，走在南康街頭，隨處可見各種酒店、賓館、汽修的招牌。"來南康買賣家具的人很多，運輸的貨車更多，各種需求都有。"一名在南康縣城開汽修店的老闆說。據2012年的統計數據，南康全市家具物流企業230多家，線路630多條。顯然，家具產業已經在南康形成了一個較大的產業集群，成為南康的主導產業之一。這直接推動了南康經濟的繁榮和快速發展，提升了南康的經濟發展水平，同時解決了大量農村剩餘勞動力的就業問題，對當地民�的收入和生活水平有重要的作用。南康家具產業促進局2012年的統計數據顯示，南康家具產業直接從業人員15萬人左右，間接從業人員10萬多人，約占全市總人口1/3，全市勞動力的1/2；從業人員月均工資超過3000元，技術工人月薪可達6000元以上,全市家具產業工人工資總額在30億元以上，帶動了大量人口脫貧。"家具產業對我市農民奔mini storage康，加快推進地方經濟社會發展和社會穩定方面做出了極大的貢獻。"南康家具產業促進局的一份總結材料里如此描述。目前，南康全市個私經濟稅收已占財政收入的三分之二，其中絕大部分屬個私中小企業。南康市委市政府將家具產業作為當地的主導產業，南康家具產業也得到了江西省的支持。江西省委書記蘇榮在南康視察時明確提出，南康家具市場要做全國一流家具市場。南康市市長柯岩松指出，結合南康的產業基礎和發展條件，南康家具產業發展的定位就是做全國第一。為此，南康規劃了南康家具產業園，實施家具產業園區化發展。南康家具產業園位於南康市龍嶺鎮和東山街辦兩個鄉鎮街道交匯處，105國道、323國道、贛粵高速、京九鐵路從基地經過，離家具市場僅3公里，借助龐大交通網絡體系，區位優勢和產業優勢，產業園將涵蓋"家具生產加工、配套材料生產加工、家居飾品生產加工、物流倉儲、品牌集中管理"五大主題功能，建成後將成為全國首家集產、銷、研一體化的家具產業基地。2009年6月，占地5000畝，總投資15億元的南康家具產業園批准建設，分三期開發。工程占地面積1300多畝的一期，三通一平已基本到位，路網基本成型，現已有維平、昭璽、木牛12家企業入園，目前正在加緊施工建設，預計今年8月份可陸續建成投產；第二期1820畝的山嶺清表、平整也正在加快推進中。南康家具產業園預計到2015年全面建成，入園企業達到100家以上，入園企業的年產值規模達到150億元以上，年納稅可達到1億元以上。南康模式目前，南康已經成為蘇區經濟發展最活躍的縣域經濟之一。同樣是蘇區，為什麼南康可以發展起來？其實，南康在發展家具產業方面並沒有太多優勢。南康乃至江西省都缺乏家具生產的原材料，木材等各種家具的製作原料都要靠外來供應。資料顯示，目前，南康家具產業的主要原料——木材，近100%來自外地，其中，80%左右來自海外，如越南、老撾等東南亞地區，甚至非洲等地；還有一小部分來自河南、安徽等國內省市。此外，南康的勞動力與河北、河南相比不是很充足，勞動力成本也比較高。南康經濟是"無中生有，有中生特，特在其人，人聯四方"，著名社會學家費孝通先生在南康考察後如此總結。南康有製作木質家具的傳統，但之前大都是家具工匠，或者是集體企業。隨著從廣東等地家具企業回家創業的人越來越多，南康的集體性質的家具企業迅速改製。這為南康帶來了家具產業發展初期所需的人才、資金和技術、信息等。此外，廣東等地傳統家具產業轉移，也給南康家具產業發展帶來了歷史機遇。從地理位置看，南康比鄰贛州、是江西進入廣東的南大門，既背靠廣東，又面向中部地區，這意味著，南康可以從廣東獲得大量信息、技術資源，又可以將產品便利地銷售到廣袤的內地市場。比如河南已經是南康家具重要的銷售基地。當然,南康家具產業發展起來，除了上述多種優勢和機遇外，更在於南康地方政府的政策引導、開放的心態以及敢於承擔責任。南康家具產業對林業政策的依賴性很大，尤其是創業初期，主要是靠買進很多外省份的木材。南康地方政府為此爭取了很多政策，並積極推進諸多改革措施。"改革步子太大，難免出現一些矛盾，最終要有領導負責，南康一些領導就因此下來了。顯然，領導是否敢於承擔責任是經濟是否發展的重要保證。"一名熟悉南康經濟發展的當地人士評論。為更好推動南康家具產業發展，南康還專門成立了南康市家具產業促進局，作為政府的派出單位，與南康家具產業協會協同辦公，為企業提供一站式服務。南康家具產業最初是自發形成的，但南康執政者能夠敏感地把握到這個產業發展的契機，並在不同的政府官員任期內能夠一以貫之地支持，讓政策延續下來，沒有改弦更張，這也是南康家具產業能夠做大做強的重要保證。迷你倉
Tom Steyer's NextGen Climate Action Ad Series Concludes by Calling on President to Do the Right Thing on Keystone XL Pipeline

慧眼睇市：手機金屬殼廠商大執位
據國外媒體報道，儲存倉三星正與台灣金屬機殼製造商Catcher科技接洽，計劃在Galaxy S5中使用金屬外殼。Galaxy S5若配上金屬外殼，再加上隔代熱這現象，預期Galaxy S5的銷情並不會差。今年上半年，比亞迪電子（00285）股價被炒起，就是因為拿到了HTC ONE的金屬外殼訂單，市場預期在產品結構改善下，盈利有機會大幅跳升。不過公司近日股價表現卻一般，可歸咎於市場之前預期過高，加上公司在半年報表中披露第三季收入增長放緩。比亞迪電子等運到Galaxy S5使用金屬外殼這消息來自於Catcher，對於比亞迪電子來說可算是壞消息。原因是後者曾憑�獨特的金屬併塑迷你倉最平製作技術，取得HTC ONE的訂單。如果這次是三星先接觸Catcher，代表Catcher或在金屬併塑膠的製作技術水準已經跟比亞迪沒大分別。另一可能是，三星根本不考慮採用HTC ONE的那種金屬外殼款式。若以上猜測屬實，比亞迪電子雖然會受惠於智能手機轉用金屬外殼這大趨勢，但故事卻沒有之前能成為大品牌手機商的第一供應商吸引。不過，微軟宣布將以約71.7億美元併購諾基亞的手機業務部門及其相關專利，對比亞迪來說屬好消息。○二年比亞迪開始成為諾基亞手機電池供應商，之後諾基亞一直為公司代工收入的主要部分。未來諾基亞能否「翻生」，成為比亞迪盈利增長的潛在動力。筆者沒持有上述股票儲存

證監決馴保薦人 中小企上市添難
近年新上市公司違規層出不窮，自存倉證監會「打老虎」亦不手軟，由洪良國際、中國高精密以至最近期的中金再生等個案，證監為保障小股民利益都痛下重手。畢竟打老虎太疲於奔命，恐怕非證監樂事，保薦人新規改革下月生效，希望透過保薦人克盡己責，減少公司上市後爆出醜事。新規夠狠辣且不允講價餘地，保薦人頗感抗拒也未阻推行，除了「打回頭」的上市申請「貼堂」公示，被港交所暫緩執行，允留半年過渡期外，其餘皆企得很硬。保薦人新規顯然甚具阻嚇作用，投資銀行與新規的最後博弈，是投行極盡可能，在新規生效的「死線」前，將手頭上的申請趕及入紙，以致遞呈上市科的申請一時頗多。值此時刻，難免出現兩種特殊情況，一方面遞呈申請上市可能引起忙亂，另一方面這一輪趕在「死線」前入紙過後，恐怕是一段申請冷清的停滯期。先熱後冷的新規效應，可能導致投資市場失去正常韻律。出現特殊情況實屬正常，因為新規嚴苛玩笑不得，投行須執正來做，但與新規磨合適應需時，這是預期得到的。尤其最少委任保薦人兩個月，以及一旦略有「失手」須修訂，也要等兩個月再能提交。合規操作迫使投行認真對待，或者因未習慣合規而引致的一再重來，在在可能延緩上市申請的成效，難以估計新股上市的這一輪停滯期要為時多長。踏入今年以來，港交所新股集資排名急跌，離曾踞的全球首位漸行漸遠，原以為招徠到阿里巴巴這單大交易，可在排名上實現大翻身，mini storage料卡在一個合夥人制拗不清上，這單大交易或最終走雞。現在又由於保薦人新規，引起的停滯期效應，意味不但翻身機會愈益微，而且恐防排名更要下滑。事實上，亦須看到這既是改革的必然代價，也是上市吸資力的警號。保薦人新規強化了對投資者的保障，香港收穫好的一面，同時也產生消極一面。眾所周知，近期來港股新上市的，較多是中小企業，有了新規範後，投行以自保為先，對中小企上市認真、挑剔起來，中小企上市勢必更加難，因為中小企經營「發育」過程始終難免有些毛病，不少有心志的中小企，是上市後才在公司管治約束下，健全壯大起來的，現在沒有這支歌可唱了。對於港交所來說，大企業有這樣、那樣的阻滯，中小企也遇上了監管高門檻，生意能不再多費腦筋嗎？事情很明顯，當中碰到的是，監管與生意如何平衡的問題，尤其在引入阿里巴巴的爭議上，監管原則與造成生意的衝突，如何糾結清楚不過。現在中小企來上市，也阻力突現，這是否有所啟示，要重新審視整個上市體制，找到保障投資者與擴增交易的平衡。事實上，後金融危機時期，全球就金融強化監管與放鬆經營，達成各方滿意的平衡點，還是見努力未見成果。一如「大到不能倒」的銀行，監管當局力謀加強規則制約，銀行在拚力抗命，角力沒完沒了。就算一些新規矩立了、執行了起來，下面還是推倒之心不死，在香港，保薦人新規即使付諸實施了，類似的監管與抗命的角力也不會輕易消失。儲存
康佳總裁劉鳳喜：構建以智能電視為核心的智慧家庭
王珍過去，儲存彩電產業是一個獨立、封閉的產業，幾乎與其他產業不產生交叉，也有自己的一套遊戲規則。但現在互聯網企業、IT企業一窩蜂似的闖了進來，號稱要顛覆彩電業。未來的智能電視乃至智能客廳、智能家庭的主導權到底攥在誰手里？彩電企業還能否繼續統領智能電視這個新疆域？剛剛走馬上任半年的康佳總裁劉鳳喜有自己的判斷。他認為，產業融合趨勢加快，邊界日益模糊，彩電企業要看清產業變遷的趨勢，但也沒必要過度渲染這種衝擊。數字家庭的概念早已推出了數年，彩電依然是康佳、海信、創維、三星、LG等傳統廠商的天下，只不過彩電廠需要更多地融合互聯網、IT業的思維。在他眼裡，"智能電視以前是，現在及未來，仍會是客廳的霸主"。彩電企業能否完成"蛻變"，繼續屹立于產業潮頭，取決於是否具有危機意識和創新能力。規則改變是必然的，"過去的彩電業是拼成本，後來是拼供應鏈效率，現在是拼消費者體驗，以及以此為核心快速技術集成創新、生態系統的建設。"智能電視將成家庭控制中心這幾年，彩電行業除了持續提升畫質外，一個很大的變化就是結合了雲計算、智能系統等新技術，引發圈外企業對客廳"地盤"的虎視眈眈。蘋果Apple TV、穀歌Google TV，及國內樂視超級電視、小米電視、阿里盒子等，這些"入侵者"大多重體驗、重營銷，能創造獨特的消費體驗。但彩電企業歷經數十年的沉澱，在產品技術、上下游產業鏈上的優勢，是新興企業短期內難以趕上的。對此，劉鳳喜有著更清醒的認識：就產品形態而言，智能電視會慢慢轉化為多媒體智能終端，以後可能會發展成廣義的雲終端，這個容器里會承載更多的應用和功能，產品形態會被顛覆，在未來的數字家庭中扮演更核心的角色。"這需要從消費者角度出發，在大數據中採集需求，並及時加以滿足，如C2B的模式。因此，彩電企業最大的挑戰是面臨互聯網化衝擊的適應、包裝和推廣能力。"為應對變局，康佳對智能電視未來的演進路徑已有清晰的規劃。雖然搶佔客廳的聲音從未停過，不少產品形態也想擠進來，但針對未來數字客廳誰說了算的疑問，劉鳳喜的回答很乾脆：智能電視會是未來空調、冰箱、PC等消費電子產品的控制"中樞"，負責所有設備間的數據同步、共享，保證家庭用戶體驗的一致化。康佳已經推出相關產品。近日，康佳發佈全球首款具有360度全向紅外線功能的智能遙控器，實現了雲端智控技術的快速升級。它通過360度全向將家電紅外碼數據收集起來，其內置麥克和語音芯片，當接收到語音指令後，通過WiFi傳送到智能電視，再傳送到雲端的語音服務器，服務器迅速識別並鎖定用戶電視機所在位置，將指令傳回機頂盒，可以瞬間幫你換台、開關空調、開關風扇。這表明智能電視作為未來家庭的控制中心，在技術上實現並不難，只不過需要在體驗、便捷性、交互方式上進一步優化。彩電企業邁出這一步去探索，距離成功就更近了一步。劉鳳喜認為"極致的體驗是核心"。構建智能電視產業生態鏈智能電視興起後，要求傳統彩電廠主動創新，適應快速變化的消費環境。用劉鳳喜的話來講，彩電企業要有"危機意識"。因為這是一次顛覆式的衝擊，彩電多年來的"圍mini storage"面臨失效，也沒有阻擊敵人進攻的"護城河"。顯然，康佳是一個積極的探索者。在產品創新上，緊貼多核、大屏、超高清的發展趨勢，迅速推出了一系列標杆產品和技術，比如業界首款8核Android 4.2雲電視，以及雲智控所配備的"雲端大數據+智能語音識別+全向紅外發射"技術。智能電視時代，彩電企業最大的瓶頸是如何構建全新的生態體系，因為雲計算、語音交互、安卓系統、多核芯片等都已經超出了原有彩電產業鏈的範疇，需要建立一個新的生態系統。劉鳳喜指出："現在彩電處於一個行業邊界模糊的時代，消費者的體驗構建，不僅僅靠產品，還靠應用+產品的驅動。康佳幾年前就意識到這一點，因此主動跨出去，聯合合作伙伴和生態鏈成員。"在搭建產業生態上，康佳已與銀聯合作，植入支付功能，擴充了智能電視的應用場景；還牽手金山，引入了雲存儲、雲安全的應用和技術；同時與科大訊飛合作，通過語音交互，大幅改善了智能電視的交互體驗；百視通的合作則讓康佳在雲的視頻、互聯網應用上有了更豐富的內容支撐；此外，康佳還與中國網絡電視台（CNTV）合作，引入各種高清、3D和家庭互動娛樂等特色服務以及家庭相冊、視頻通話、電視購物、多屏互動等增值服務。劉鳳喜預測，未來的智能電視產業比拼的將是生態系統的建設能力，智能雲電視所處的環境已不再是一個簡單的產業鏈，而是一個複雜多變的產業生態系統，包括第三方的零部件製造商、軟件商、運營商、中間商等，而且這個圈子還在持續不斷的擴展之中。"康佳會採取更開放的態度，聯合智能電視所需的技術、資源方，同時會努力增強自身在生態中的話語權。"智慧家庭時代正在到來以前智能家庭只是一幅美好的藍圖，難以落地。智能電視的逐步成熟，為智慧家庭的到來奠定了基礎。只有數字家庭中的各個終端、連接能力、數據同步等軟硬件成熟了，才有能力構建真正的智慧家庭。劉鳳喜認為，"這個全新的時代正在來臨。"在他看來，智慧家庭是在3C融合的基礎上，集多種內容服務、網絡、個人信息終端于一爐，以統一的標準涵蓋PC、電視、遊戲機、PDA、手機、 DVD等各種數字終端，實現信息的跨平台操作，給用戶帶來的是更智能化、更便捷的綜合體驗。"其中智能電視的地位會成為多設備的核心，而不像外界所認為的那樣，僅僅是多屏中的一個。"但最終智能電視會不會成為智慧家庭的核心，將考驗彩電企業"價值經營"能力。除了在產品形態上踩對節奏，提供極致體驗，向蘋果、小米等體驗派學習外，營銷思路上的創新最關鍵。康佳會加快線上營銷新模式的探索，好的體驗的產品要學會講故事，培養和引進互聯網推廣人才。還要積極探索以互聯網為載體、以大數據為主要方法的C2B模式，通過大數據採集消費者需求，來規劃產品，避免錯誤產品的投放，優化已有產品的布局。劉鳳喜表示，康佳是彩電業中的一名老兵，也是多年來的領導品牌之一，當行業正在發生巨變，並有可能產生顛覆性變革時，康佳願意主動應變，推動行業創新發展。"構建以智能電視為核心的智慧家庭"是康佳未來幾年內的核心戰略，康佳會圍繞這個核心進行產品、資源的匯聚，最終實現家電的智能物聯網化目標。self storage
全國版） - (移動支付變革應用場景
南方日報訊 （記者/賈肖明 通訊員/劉敏莉）日前，自存倉廣發證券在深圳舉辦了移動互聯網新經濟高峰論壇。與會嘉賓討論了互聯網金融發展狀態及趨勢、QQ智能機器人的應用以及移動支付等熱門話題。關於移動金融創新，浦發銀行介紹了移動金融創新和業務布局的行業觀點，認為進入移動互聯網時代，網絡支付與移動支付是最炙手可熱的兩個話題。互聯網金融與金融互聯網的交集形成了移動金融，移動金融的發展動力來自于客戶的需求。互聯網金融指以互聯網的思維提供不同于傳統的金融服務，特點是信息更為透明和開放、參與者數量�多、監管環境相對寬鬆，它的定義更多放在如何利用互聯網技術來摒棄傳統金融機構主導的行為。而金融互聯網指金融企業通過電子網絡提供傳統和創新的金融服務，並通過這些電子網絡渠道向互聯網業務滲透，金融互聯網並不是要摒棄中介，而是讓互聯網成為金融中介。金融機構借助移動互聯網、移動終端、電訊網絡等技術手段進行業務創新，面向用戶提供隨時、隨地、隨身的金融服務。騰訊認為，"後移動互聯網時代"將是機器人智能、物聯網的時代。除了機器人外，後移動互聯網時代另一個應用例子是增強現實系統。增強現實系統一旦應用在市場，將改變人們觀察和學習的方式，在遊mini storage娛樂、教育、安全和國防、醫療、商業等領域都有非常豐富的應用場景。騰訊在"後移動互聯網時代"推出了"小Q機器人"和"Q影——-移動觸控微投"這兩款設備，試圖打造"文化創意、人工智能和互聯網融合"的新產業生態。關於移動支付市場的格局與趨勢，中銀通認為支付公司總是應需而生，如支付寶發展的根源在於淘寶的飛速成長，支付公司要從行業中突圍，就要發揮自己對銀行通道的積累，對用戶支付習慣的瞭解，以及對信息流與資金流結合的需求挖掘，突圍方向有企業支付與個人支付兩種。企業支付剛上路就已引起銀行警惕，目前主要做垂直行業+金融工具的方式，在連鎖快消、航旅、教育、保險、供應鏈金融等方面有發展。個人支付為會員提供便捷支付和增值服務，但由於應用服務的形式和內容黏性不強，用戶主動參與的積極度不高，目前主要應用在自助服務門戶、積分、民生便利、理財、預付卡等。未來的變革將使應用場景更加豐富，支付資金源、收銀形式也產生變革。手機進場支付必須解決運營商問題，目前公交卡、會員卡是更合適的切合點。移動遠程支付更可能是互聯網金融的變革起點，O2O（線上與線下相結合）新商業模式值得期待。智能外設與客戶端適合不同場景的需要，也有一定創新發展空間。儲存

Spanos at 90: Birthday brings reflections on developer's legacy
Source: The Record, Stockton, Calif.儲存Sept. 28--STOCKTON -- Alex Spanos will celebrate his 90th birthday quietly at home today with members of his immediate family. Just 30 or so people.Stockton's wealthiest resident -- a billionaire who at one time was the nation's No. 1 apartment builder -- will make an appearance, probably have some cake and then retreat to a quieter setting.It is the best way for him to enjoy himself. Crowds can be confusing.Spanos is stable in his eighth year of dementia, a memory-robbing disease that has robbed him of his drive and replaced it with a new-found peace and happiness.This is a year of milestones.Last month, he and his wife -- "love-at-first-sight" Faye Spanos -- celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.He remains the revered patriarch of the Spanos family, a living reminder to his four adult children of what can be achieved through hard work, determination and a positive attitude."Two things stand out. His love of family -- as busy as he was, family was always first -- and that we should believe in ourselves," said Michael Spanos, his youngest son.Spanos, the son of Greek immigrants, was born in Stockton in 1923. He attended then-College of the Pacific, dropped out to join the Army Air Corps during World War II and borrowed $800 to start a business selling sandwiches to farm workers.By 1955, he had made his first $1 million. In 2002, Spanos wrote a book -- "Sharing the Wealth: My Story" -- that chronicles that rise to success.Alex Spanos built a real-estate development empire in the 1950s, '60s and '70s. A.G. Spanos Cos., with its five-story headquarters on Trinity Parkway off Interstate 5, has 10 regional offices between California and Florida and hundreds of employees.Dream come trueIn 1984, he realized his long-time dream of owning a professional football team when he bought the San Diego Chargers.But that decision came with a personal price.Dean Spanos, the oldest son, moved to San Diego with his family to take control of the team. He is the only immediate family member who doesn't live either within or near the Spanos compound at the intersection of Lincoln Road and Pershing Avenue.For decades, Alex Spanos kept his hands on all aspects of his business while simultaneously preparing his children to take control. That day has long since arrived, and each child has a leadership role in the company and each has personality characteristics handed down from their father.-- Dean Spanos, 63, is chief executive officer and chairman of the board for A.G. Spanos Cos. His siblings described him as the driven, impatient and "distracted one." His nickname is "Deno."-- Michael Spanos, 55, is president of the company. He manages and oversees development and construction as well as the network of divisional offices. He is the "social one, a people person."-- Dea Spanos Berberian, 62, is secretary of the board and executive vice president. She also is in charge of community relations. Her brothers and sisters affectionately refer to her as "bossy."-- Alexis Spanos Ruhl, 59, is a board member and she serves as a company liaison to Stockton-area nonprofit agencies. She is known for her compassion. Her nickname is "Lexy."All four are Lincoln High School graduates.Lessons in lifeLike Michael Spanos, each offspring offers a different perspective on dad's most important life lesson."There is nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it," said Alexis Ruhl. "He taught us to always believe we can accomplish anything."The public knows something of the benevolence of Alex Spanos. The children know more."Dad was a wonderful example of being a totally generous person," Dea Berberian said. "He was always the first one there if someone needed help."Dean Spanos sees the integrity of his father's life as still crucial, still relevant."He taught us family values," Dean Spanos said. "And respect, such an important thing, for our elders and for all people. He also taught us that your word has to be as good as gold in everything in life."Alex Spanos was a man of his word."The household is not typical, and not just because of Alex Spanos' wealth. The extended family still eats dinner together most nights.There is a familial closeness. The four children genuinely enjoy each other's company, and they love being around their mother anself storage father.As they grew up and had families of their own, the size of evening meals grew. There are 15 far-flung grandchildren today, and dinners with 40 or more people (the kids loved bringing their friends over) were not uncommon.Until a decade or so ago, Faye Spanos, 87, still healthy and active today, could be found most afternoons in the kitchen helping prepare the food.Not any more. She has a staff for that.Two other things have changed over the years.Dean Spanos and his family are 450 miles away. And Alex eats earlier than the rest of the family with Faye at his side.A day with AlexPhysically healthy, his typical day is filled.Alex Spanos rises around 6 or 6:30 a.m. He has breakfast and then walks around the compound. At about 10 a.m., two or three close friends show up for a card game of gin rummy. The game, plus lunch, usually goes for four hours. An afternoon nap is normal. Dinner typically takes place at 5 p.m.Alex Spanos enjoys watching "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" after the evening meal. He retires early."He is relaxed and happy around his routine," said Michael Spanos. "He has his gin buddies, and he doesn't miss a beat. He plays cards in the moment."All four children are glad their father is finally tension free."He carried the stress of the family business for all those years," Dea Berberian said. "There is none now."Dad's legacyIt is natural, on their father's 90th birthday, for the children to consider his legacy."Oh my God, it is no one thing," Dean Spanos said, "but it has stuck with me that he was always so positive no matter how difficult things became. He never looked at the negative side. It was always forward."If someone said, 'You can't,' he would."For Alexis Ruhl, it has always been about her dad's heart for others."His philanthropy is his legacy. He would read the newspaper every day," she said. "If someone had their musical instruments stolen, he would replace them. If someone died and the family couldn't afford a funeral, he would pay for it."He was so generous."Dea Berberian believes dad's greatest gift was in his love for his wife."He totally loved my mother," she said. "The way he kissed her and spoke to her. ... They never fought."For Alex Spanos, family is and always has been the most important thing in life.That love of the blood line has been passed on to subsequent generations. The Spanos grandchildren range in age from 15 to 39 and treat each other more like siblings than cousins. There are four great-grandchildren, all boys, and another soon to be born."We taught our kids family values," Alexis Ruhl said. "My kids are close to everybody else's kids." Dean Spanos added, "Mom and dad talked about jealousy. They made nepotism work. We're all in this together. Jealousy can be the root of all evil. Dad taught us: don't be that way."The Spanos family business is built on the belief that you should trust those you love.A secure futureThe foundation for that business remains construction, and A.G. Spanos Cos. is building apartments again after struggling -- like most of the nation -- through tough economic times.The company paradigm hasn't completely shifted, but the initial investment in the San Diego Chargers -- $48.3 million -- has translated into a NFL franchise worth $949 million today.Many people think of Alex Spanos as the consummate conservative, and that's certainly a reputation he earned. During the Reagan and Bush presidencies, he was one of the nation's leading Republican Party contributors.But he wasn't as dogmatic as some might think."He was also a real progressive person in his thinking," Dean Spanos said. "He was only traditional about family and mom. On other things, he was willing to compromise."As Alex Spanos enters his 10th decade, his family isn't worried about the future. The children, knowing dad's legacy is secure on multiple fronts, are old enough that they're already talking about retirement."The family, and company, leadership will eventually move to the next generation," Dean Spanos said. "The roots are here. There is a generation in transition."Contact reporter Kevin Parrish at (209) 546-8264 or kparrish@recordnet.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Record (Stockton, Calif.)

Central rolls in rivalry victory
Source: The Beaumont Enterprise, TexasSept.迷你倉 28--Central and Ozen might as well have been looking in a mirror.Both have first-year head coaches, new uniforms, lots of talent and had underwhelming non-district outcomes entering Friday's annual crosstown rivalry game.But the difference between the two was clear from the beginning, as Central cruised to a 33-9 win on Friday night.The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Central (2-2, 1-0 in District 20-4A) and left Ozen (0-4, 0-1) searching for its first win of the year.Central quarterback Michael Jacquet threw a pair of touchdown passes; a 25-yard completion to senior Garrison Mitchell and a 54-yard bomb to Kamon Darby, while his defense handled the rest.Central did not have possession of the ball for much of the first quarter, but the Jaguars didn't need it to score.On Ozen's first drive of the game, the Panthers could not get a first down and were forced to punt. However, the snap flew into the end zone and was recovered by Central for the game's first score.On the next drive, Central's Mitchell intercepted the first Ozen pass attempt of th儲存倉 game, which led to a missed Central 25-yard field goal.An Ozen fumble on the ensuing drive set up a 25-yard touchdown catch from Jacquet to Mitchell. With time winding down in the first quarter, Central returned another Ozen fumble for a long defensive touchdown to make it 20-0.The Panthers settled down in the second quarter, blocked a punt out of the endzone for a safety and entered halftime with a 20-2 deficit.In the second half, Ozen substituted sophomore quarterback Joshua Boyd in for senior Javaris Curl, but it wasn't enough.Ozen did not score a point on offense, with its only points coming on a safety and 11-yard fumble recovery for touchdown.The Panthers finished with 10 penalties and Central had seven of its own.On the ground, junior Rodney Randle led Ozen with 57 yards on nine carries, while Central sophomore Devwah Whaley had 47 yards on 12 attempts.AZaleon@BeaumontEnterprise.comTwitter.com/avi_zaleonCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) Visit the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) at .beaumontenterprise.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉最平

Churches gather for Constitution Day program
Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahSept.儲存 28--NORTH OGDEN -- Patriotism is one concept that all faiths have in common.That was the idea behind the Second Annual Faith of Our Fathers event Sept. 21 at the North Ogden LDS Coldwater Stake.While the event was hosted in a building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a few hundred members of three faith communities came together to celebrate the birthday of the United States Constitution, Sept. 17, 1787.Also represented was Valley View Baptist Church and St. James the Just Catholic Church, both in Ogden.The festivities included honoring all veterans in attendance, a 21-gun salute, a flag raising, a patriotic program, a breakfast and a 5K race."Any religion that is worthy of the name is taken out into the streets," the Rev. Erik J. Richtsteig, of St. James the Just, said during the program following the 5K race."Our Lord and Savior was very harsh on those who kept their religion to themselves," he said, as he encouraged all those present to live the religion they were being taught.In his speech, Richtsteig said unity among the different churches is needed now because religious freedom and religious rights are under attack.He said there were even problems expressing religion in the military."There is not a place where we need religion more than in the Armed Forces," he said.And Richtsteig said such struggles go against the freedoms expressed in the Bill of Rights and that are intended by God for people to enjoy."Our Founding Fathers recognized that the law of God is written in our very hearts," he said, pointing to the Bill of Rights as an expression of what America's first leaders knew that people already understood as necessary in a free nation.He said the Bill of Rights was written "so government would not say, 'This is the official church.'"But today, he said, people are critical when religious views find their way into laws of the land."How often have you heard people say 'You are imposing your religion on us in your laws?' Get used to that," he said.Richtsteig said everything good about the United States was rooted in religious faith."We have to recognize our faith, not to the point of imposing it on other people, but to say 'You are free to believe.'"Valley View Baptist Church Pastor Dave Duncself storagen reviewed some American achievements, such as the automobile and changes that led to college educations for so many Americans."We brought peace to the world," he said, pointing to American involvement in two world wars."We allowed God in the classroom, God in our laws."He discussed the ways in which religion continued to be expressed as the country grew."They built a red schoolhouse and a little white church on 1,000 hills," he said."This is our history. We can be proud of it. We must not only defend it. We must take it back."North Ogden Coldwater LDS Stake President Paul Mackley told a story of Alexis de Tocqueville, who was from France, coming to the United States to discover what made it a great country."America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great," he quoted de Tocqueville as saying.In an interview, Mackley said the event last year resulted in some deep friendships.Mackley said he gained a friend in Duncan last year that has endured and become stronger throughout the year.Valley View Baptist Church member Doug Clark said he believes getting together with different faiths to celebrate the Constitution is important."A church is a church, and the focus of the church should be one thing -- the true creator of the universe, God," he said. "In order to keep unity in our nation, it's important for every person of every faith to get together as one nation, under God indivisible, to keep the enemy out."Dorothy Sjoblom, a member of the Coldwater North Ogden LDS Stake, said the program was just one part of a communitywide effort to share a spirit of patriotism throughout the area.Sjoblom said posters and messages were put up in area businesses and flags were displayed on Washington Boulevard.She and others visited area elementary schools and shared displays with messages of patriotism.An iPod Touch was donated to allow for a prize drawing. Students who found answers on the display to questions they were given were entered into the drawing.Contact reporter JaNae Francis at 801-625-4228 or jfrancis@standard.net, or follow her on twitter at @jfrancis.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah) Visit the Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah) at .standard.net Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

“市場開業即拆遷”拷問規劃前瞻性
何勇海9月27日，self storage鄭州潁河西路綜合市場的商戶打來熱線電話稱，他們所在市場剛開業不到1月就要被拆遷，投資面臨血本無歸。據市場開發商介紹，該市場是去年初投資1000多萬元新建的，第一批200多商舖于去年3月招商開業，今年8月31日，第二批200多間商舖進行了二次招租開業，近日接到市里通知，將新修一條洛達路，正好從市場穿過，需在近期拆遷。（9月28日《大河報》）政府要修路，市場要拆遷，商戶很糾結。看到這條新聞，我不由得浮想聯翩：潁河西路綜合市場的新近建成與馬上拆遷，是不是因為換領導了——新領導有了新規劃，必須得拆遷？是不是因為開發商想大撈一筆——明知此處早就規劃好了一條城市道路，想趁著道路還沒有修建之前建個市場賺點拆遷款？抑或是因為市政規劃沒有前瞻性——規劃成了擺設，想啥時建就建，想啥時拆就拆？不管哪種情況，倒霉的都是不知內情的商戶。據報道，市場管理方和商戶們簽訂了1年租賃合同，每個鋪面一年租金1.2萬元，再加上裝修店面和進貨，商戶們投進的本錢不該"打水漂"。這筆錢該誰來賠？迷你倉是違建，開發商難逃賠償之責；如市場方在簽訂租賃合同前就知此處要拆遷，那麼就屬於欺詐，商戶損失必須由市場方賠償；如是政府規劃有問題，或秘而不宣，政府則須全額賠償市場方和商戶的一切損失。誰來賠償商戶損失，僅是問題一方面，另一方面，還必須進行深刻反思。一是，既然政府規劃要修城市道路，幹嘛還要批准建市場？是誰批准修建市場，就應該追究誰的責任。這個問題必須追查到底，因為這一建一拆便是巨大的資源浪費，是對城市規劃嚴肅性、前瞻性、科學性的傷害，是對商戶權益的侵犯，不能重現"拍腦袋決策，拍胸脯保證，拍屁股走人"。否則，"史上最快的開業與拆遷"還要創造新的奇跡。近年來，由於市政規劃缺乏前瞻性，把剛建好的建築推倒，把剛修好的道路挖開等重複建設現象時有所見，一些建設規劃實施尚未過半，就出現了諸多問題，左修右改，矛盾不斷，讓人徒生"市政建設趕不上政府規劃"之憾。鄭州潁河西路綜合市場的命運提醒我們，必須重視市政規劃的前瞻性、超前性，以避免無效建設和重複建設，同時避免給老百姓的生活帶來更多混亂和損失。自存倉

The Illinois Network of Charter Schools Responds to the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund to Clarify Issues Regarding Pension Requirements for Chicago Charter Public Schools
CHICAGO, Sept.self storage 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In the wake of recent questions about charter school pension obligations, the Illinois Network of Charter Schools continues to seek clarity from the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund concerning Chicago public charter school contributions."This year, the Illinois legislature amended the law requiring certified charter school teachers to contribute to the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund," said Andrew Broy, President of INCS. "We have been working directly with the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund and our member schools to clarify charter schools' obligations as they deal with many, many different categories of employees."Over the years, there has been substantial confusion about which charter school employees are required to pay into the pension fund and which employees are legally barred from making such contributions. For instance, certified full-time teachers in charter schools are required to be part of the pension system, but uncertified teachers are not permitted to make any contributions. Teachers who are certified, but part-time are generally not permitted to participate in the pension fund.INCS has a direct interest in ensuring that any conflicting information on charter schools' obligations is resolved in a way that adheres to the charter model, which allowsmini storagecharter schools the freedom and flexibility to hire the most effective staff members, whether they are certified or non-certified."Charter schools are working in good faith to comply with the relevant regulations and understand how the new law will impact them and we expect the CTPF will do the same," noted Broy. "Given the financial impact on charter schools, there is no incentive for charter schools to under-identify teachers who are eligible to participate in the pension fund. The fact that the law was amended this year to clarify these and other related issues suggests that the impact of the law has been unclear."INCS will continue our work with charter public schools and directly liaise with CTPF on this issue to seek clarity and ensure consistent reporting and payment to the pension fund.The Illinois Network of Charter Schools (INCS)is dedicated to the improvement of education by establishing high-quality charter public schools that transform lives and communities. As the voice of the Illinois charter schools, INCS advocates for legislation on behalf of the charter sector, provides support to strengthen charter schools, and influences education policy for the benefit of all public school students.Contact: Jodie Cantrell312-629-2063 ext. 28Illinois Network of Charter SchoolsWeb site: .incschools.org//迷你倉

Crawford County man charged in death of missing LeBoeuf Township man
Source: Erie Times-News, Pa.迷你倉最平Sept. 27--State police believe Gerald P. VanDyke headed to the home of his longtime live-in girlfriend's father sometime during the morning of Sept. 14.He traveled 7 miles from his home on Smith Road in LeBoeuf Township in Erie County to Richard Houy's ranch-style house in Rockdale Township, Crawford County, passing cornfields, horse pastures and idle farmland, their brush starting to show the colors of fall.Investigators also believe that sometime after reaching the red brick ranch house at 21300 Teepleville Flats Road, VanDyke, 55, was killed by Houy, 68.How VanDyke was killed, and what became of his body and his pickup truck, were among the mysteries police were still trying to solve Thursday as Houy sat in the Crawford County Correctional Facility without bond on charges of criminal homicide, criminal use of a communications facility, tampering with evidence and false reports to law enforcement.Neither VanDyke's body nor the truck had been found as of Thursday.The announcement of Houy's arraignment early Thursday ended one lingering mystery: what became of VanDyke.He was reported missing to state police in Corry on the afternoon of Sept. 15 by Houy, Houy's wife and their daughter, who was in a longtime relationship with VanDyke, police said. They told troopers that VanDyke, a truck driver, was last seen leaving his Smith Road residence at about 9 a.m. on Sept. 14.Houy's daughter also told police that she was terminating her relationship with VanDyke, and had hired an attorney to split the 26 acres of land they jointly owned, according to police.Police issued an appeal to the public for information on VanDyke's whereabouts several days later. They issued another earlier this week, when they asked property owners to be on the lookout for VanDyke's silver Dodge Dakota pickup.Houy became a person of interest in the case on Sept. 20, when he was first suspected of being the source of two anonymous phone calls made to state police about VanDyke's possible whereabouts, according to information in the affidavit of probable cause that was filed with a search warrant for Houy's residence.In both calls, made the morning of Sept. 18, the caller told police VanDyke indicated that he was leaving town and didn't want anyone to know where he was going.Police traced one call to the cell phone of a man who said he let a man use his phone to call state po儲存ice while the two were at a store in McKean, according to the affidavit.Troopers played recordings of the calls for VanDyke's son, and he said the caller in both sounded like Houy, police said.Houy and Houy's daughter were interviewed by troopers Wednesday. Houy at first denied making the anonymous phone calls. He later admitted to it, but did not say why, according to the affidavit.Houy's daughter told investigators that Houy went to the Smith Road residence on Sept. 14, the day VanDyke was last seen, and was agitated and "had plans to lure (VanDyke) to this residence," according to the affidavit. She told police she begged Houy not to, because she knew that Houy wished to cause VanDyke harm.Houy's daughter told investigators that she left the residence and when she later returned, a woman told her that Houy came back and asked VanDyke to help him fix a tractor at Houy's residence. Houy's daughter said that at about midnight on Sept. 14, she went to Houy's residence and was led by Houy to a barn on his property, where she saw droplets on the ground that she believed to be blood and a container that appeared to hold blood, according to the affidavit.Houy's daughter said she also saw a chain saw that she believed was used to dismember VanDyke, and a wooden box that she believed might have contained VanDyke's body, police wrote in the affidavit.She said Houy told her that he struck VanDyke in the head with a tire iron or some type of metal bar, and he led her to believe that VanDyke's body, "in whole or in parts," was placed in barrels or drums within the barn, according to the affidavit.Houy was re-interviewed by investigators late Wednesday night. He said after he and VanDyke reached Houy's residence on Sept. 14, they began to argue about the relationship with his daughter and Houy punched VanDyke in the face, causing VanDyke to fall and strike his head on a piece of machinery, according to the affidavit.Houy told police he put VanDyke's body in VanDyke's pickup truck and drove it to the French Creek access on nearby Miller Station Road, put VanDyke's body into French Creek and left the truck, according to the affidavit.TIM HAHN can be reached at 870-1731 or by e-mail.

鼎泰豐成全球第二佳連鎖店
【本報兩岸組報道】據台灣的媒體報道，儲存跨國連鎖企業在「地球村」年代不斷出現，美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）旅遊網站昨日選出對遊客而言，全球最佳的連鎖企業，當中以小籠包聞名的台灣「鼎泰豐」名列第二，成為唯一登上前三甲的華資企業。 逾70間遍布11個國家 CNN旅遊網站列出遊客最喜歡的20家連鎖商店與企業，排名第一位的是起源於美國的7-Eleven（7-11）便利商店，目前在全美已有超過7,700家，在日本更超過1.5萬家。以賣小籠包出名的台灣鼎泰豐餐廳在名單中高踞第二，CNN認為鼎泰豐餃子透明的外皮，讓他們可self storage看透內餡，也讓多數顧客甘心排隊一小時以上。 據介紹，鼎泰豐以賣油起家，創業初期的生意可說並非很好，直到1972年，鼎泰豐開始以一半的店面販賣著名的小籠包，卻意外開啟了一片新天地。CNN介紹，鼎泰豐目前在全球11個國家有超過70家餐廳，其中絕大多數都必須排上一個小時的隊才能品嘗美食，而在本港的兩家鼎泰豐更是米芝蓮一星的餐館。 另外，7-Eleven與鼎泰豐之後，快餐業代表麥當勞、連鎖咖啡店星巴克緊追在後，而5到10名分別是四季酒店、摩斯漢堡、無印良品、肯德基、宜家傢俬與墨西哥的兒童遊樂場「KidZania」。迷你倉
家用遊戲機：門開了狼會來嗎？
陳春雨最近一段時間，文件倉上海自貿區是A股市場最熱的話題。而對於微軟、索尼、任天堂等家用遊戲機巨頭來說，這等於是一張通往中國市場的門票。在很多80後的記憶中，童年的遊戲機可能就是一部小霸王，以學習的名義買入，但實際是躲在房間，努力按著遊戲手柄，一打就是一個鐘頭，超級瑪麗、魂鬥羅、坦克這些經典遊戲就是這樣進入我們的世界。後來，遊戲機被台式電腦取代、台式電腦又被筆記本電腦、iPad產品取代，家用遊戲似乎退出了大�視野，網絡遊戲大行其道，此消彼長之間，政策的影響力不可小覷。2000年，中國互聯網方興未艾之時，因為擔心青少年沉迷遊戲，文化部聯合其他七部委下發通知，全面禁止中國內地的遊戲機生產和銷售。這其實從一開始就關閉了國內的家用遊戲機市場，大部分玩家只能通過"水貨"渠道或者海外市場購買 ，但是需要解碼才能正常使用，而遊戲內容也多是英文和日文。比如任天堂的Wii ，其因為可以模擬運動而大受好評，但是Wii不在中國發售，沒有中文界面，也沒有一款簡體中文遊戲。不過，隨著上海自貿區的建立，這一限制將很快被打破。在已經發佈的總體方案中明確寫明：允許外資企業從事遊戲遊藝設備的生產和銷售，但前提是，要通過文化主管部門的內容審查。不管怎樣，這扇關閉了13年的大門終究是要開�了。現在，家用遊戲三巨頭：微軟Xbox、索尼PS系列主機以及任天堂都盯緊了中國市場。微軟的反應最快，其已經宣佈與上市公司百視通合作，在自貿區成立"上海百家合信息技術發展有限公司"，目標就是把家用遊戲引入中國。今年5月，微軟推出了新一代的遊戲主機XboxOne。它實際超出了遊戲的概念，整合了目前智能盒子的大部分功能，甚至具有比擬AndroidTV的全部功能，能通過語音或手勢控制盒子功能開關和切換。這也能夠解釋微軟為何選擇和百視通存倉作，作為7家OTT牌照(互聯網電視集成播控平台牌照)獲得者之一，百視通的資源優勢能夠完成遊戲、視頻業務的整合。現在，這家合資公司的產品名字已經新鮮出爐，叫做"Bestpad"，相較之下，小米、樂視甚至阿里的彩虹盒子至少在軟硬件實力上與之相差甚遠。如果Xbox真能得到文化部的審批，在智能客廳的爭奪戰中，本土公司還要經歷一番苦戰。當然，對於中國市場最為渴望的可能不是微軟，而是任天堂。在移動終端遊戲嶄露頭角之後，任天堂的業績就一年不如一年，2011年發生30年來首次虧損373億日元，去年繼續虧損364億日元。而被寄予厚望的新一代WiiU和3DS遊戲機銷量都遠遠達不到預期。以WiiU為例，今年一季度總銷量為36萬台，但第二季度銷量銳減至16萬台。中國市場可能解禁的消息傳開後，日本媒體和遊戲界的興奮之情溢於言表。其認為，中國"80後"和"90後"等年輕人群總計接近4億人，這些人群都可能成為購買遊戲機的"生力軍"。怪不得一向穩重的任天堂CEO岩田聰也公開表示，考慮到中國遊戲玩家的基數龐大，如果有機會進軍中國內地市場，對於現狀悽慘不堪的公司而言，是一個提升業績的好機會。但是中國市場真的能解救家用遊戲機嗎?答案可能是未必。最大的挑戰是付費習慣，一款微軟的Xbox遊戲機售價在2000元以上，跟蘋果的iPad價格相當，但要更好地體驗Xbox,還需花錢購買正版碟片，價格在100-500元之間。當然，國內還有盜版碟可選，5元一張，對於用戶來說是省了錢，但是對廠商來說得不償失。要知道，任天堂推出Wii時，硬件銷售價都是低於成本價，賣一台虧一台，都是指望能從軟件上收回成本。而國內的主流在線遊戲，盡管是免費試用，但運營者提供收費道具，這種模式已經向平板、智能手機蔓延，家用遊戲機就是向這一模式提出挑戰。儲存
iOS 7動感圖標 用家投訴頭暈
蘋果公司最新作業系統iOS7有近200項改動和新功能，self storage包括介面更立體有動感，但不少用家投訴，使用時頻頻出現圖標放大縮小的視覺效果，令他們暈眩作嘔，有如坐車時看書般頭痛不適，要求蘋果改善。無法降級用舊版作業系統更新至iOS7後，無論是開機、選按圖標、抑或由使用中的應用程式（app）按Home鍵返回主畫面，圖標都會有放大或縮小的移動視覺效果，讓不少用家大呼受不了。31歲用家巴納說她平常坐火車坐船迷你倉不會暈車，但「我用女友手機玩iOS7卻感到惡心」，令她遲遲未更新作業系統。蘋果公司網頁論壇上怨聲載道，有網民留言說︰「它令我眼睛不適、頭暈，可是又不能降級（用回舊版本）！」「我一開始使用iOS7的iPad就感到嚴重暈眩，之後整天都不適。」蘋果對此未作回應。用家可以在「設定」的「一般」�揀選「減少動態效果」來控制圖標與背景圖像的立體感，但暫時無法棄用圖標放大縮小的效果。美國廣播公司/《赫芬頓郵報》自存倉

互聯網“大佬”布局民營銀行 網絡銀行呼之欲出
□李寶富目前，存倉民間各路資本對成立民營銀行躍躍欲試，尤其是阿里巴巴、蘇寧、騰訊、百度等互聯網"土豪"們。據消息稱，各互聯網龍頭企業已向監管部門遞交了銀行牌照申請，"阿里銀行"、"蘇寧銀行"、"京東銀行"、"騰訊銀行"等互聯網銀行似已"呼之欲出"。近年來，阿里巴巴不斷嘗試互聯網和金融的結合，從小額貸款到餘額寶理財服務，阿里巴巴正不斷向傳統銀行發起挑戰。2013年8月初，由央行牽頭，央行、銀監會、證監會、保監會、工信部、公安部、法制辦等七部委組成的"互聯網金融發展與監管研究小組"對阿里金融進行調研，據傳阿里金融已向監管層申請銀行牌照。盡管阿里巴巴開設網絡銀行一事尚未落地，但阿里開辦網絡銀行，其強大的平台優勢無疑備受業界矚目，大量的客戶以及龐大的數據將成為其最大的優勢。此外，阿里互聯網的創新能力以及市場反應能力對其業務發展提供了有利條件。除獨立申請銀行牌照外，9月16日，阿里巴巴和中國民生銀行簽署戰略合作框架協議，雙方在傳統的資金清算與結算、信用卡業務、理財業務、直銷銀行業務、互聯網終端金融、IT科技等諸多方面�動全面戰略合作。此次合作不會影響阿里巴巴申請網絡銀行牌照，對於阿里而言，和民生銀行合作，可以補足阿里在金融產品設計和銀行運作、風險管理這方面的短板，為將來正式進入民營銀行業做準備。蘇寧、京東作為另外兩大電商巨頭，在申請互聯網銀行牌照方面也在緊鑼密鼓推進。8月23日，蘇寧雲商發佈公告稱，公司正積極開展銀行業務的相關申報工作。作為發起設立銀行的配套準備工作，蘇寧雲商此前已向相關儲存商部門申請了蘇寧銀行股份有限公司的名稱預核准，9月12日，"蘇寧銀行"名稱已獲工商總局核准。此外，京東也正在加速跨界進軍金融業的步伐，目前京東擬在上海設立的小額貸款公司，已經通過上海市金融辦的審批，後續流程正在辦理。自2012年，京東就和多家銀行合作�動供應鏈金融業務，目前已累計向合作伙伴提供數十億元的貸款。在"阿里銀行"、"蘇寧銀行"之後，"京東銀行"或將緊隨其後。除"電商系"互聯網企業外，騰訊、百度等互聯網巨頭也加緊在金融業布局。百度已在今年第二季度遞交了申請，目前已經取得貸款業務資質。在上海設立的百度小貸公司目前正在籌備中，註冊資本金2億元。服務對象優先考慮百度推廣的老客戶，重點扶持小微企業。除小額貸款公司外，今年7月，百度旗下的支付工具百付寶獲得了第三方支付牌照，百度將支付收入囊中，百度金融也于8月底低調上線。騰訊作為第一家市值過千億美元的中國互聯網公司，其業務布局已經不局限于IT領域。目前，騰訊提交的申請經營民營銀行方案已獲廣東省政府同意，並上報銀監會。設立互聯網銀行並非互聯網巨頭們的專利，中關村銀行作為服務中關村國家自主創新示範區的科技銀行，未來定位偏向網絡銀行，將主要為中關村區內的創業企業和小微企業提供各類融資服務。目前，中關村銀行正在開展包括工商註冊在內的各項申請銀行牌照的前期準備工作，預計將在年內正式向監管層申請銀行牌照，並有望在�多民營銀行申請者中率先獲批。中關村銀行將由中關村互聯網金融協會的部分成員單位發起和運作，同時還有多家民營企業和民營資本參與其中。self storage
