Post-Bulletin, Rochester, Minn., Pulse on Health column
Source: Post-Bulletin, Rochester, Minn.儲存Aug. 31--The Minnesota Department of Health plans to reassess its suicide-prevention efforts after analyzing 2011 data.State officials say the number of people who died by suicide in the state rose 13 percent, mostly due to deaths among middle-aged men and those up to age 59, mirroring a national trend.Psychiatrist Dr. Timothy Lineberry, psychiatric-hospital medical director at Mayo Clinic, said suicide is multi-faceted, complex and unique to each individual.Research has shown that economic issues can increase the rate of suicides, he said, which is why some suspect that the recession may have played a role in Minnesota's rates. But he cautions data is hard to interpret because Minnesota's numbers are low and it's hard to spot trends until larger, national numbers get included. Also, Lineberry said, veterans are at greater risk.ButMelissa Neinen, suicide prevention coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Health, said the rate among Minnesota veterans remains unclear because it's not known how many veterans there are in the state.Lineberry said that's because some Minnesota veterans are attached to military units based in other states, some personnel come from other states and are based with Minnesota units, many are reservists and others are National Guard.Lineberry emphasized that about 90 percent of all persons who die by suicide have an underlying mental illness.Suicide is preventable and the underlying illness is treatable, he said. That's why its so important to seek help immediately.Although Minnesota's rate of 12.4 per 100,000 residents in 2011 "was the highest since the early 1990s," suicide still remains uncommon. Minnesota remains the state with the 10th-lowest rate of suicide in the country, Neinen said.From 2010 to 2011, suicides in Minnesota increased:-- from 10.2 to 13.8 per 100,000 residents older than 65.-- from 5 per 100,000 to 5.7 per 100,000 in residents 24 and younger.-- from 606 total individuals in 2010 to 684 total in 2011, out of more than 5 million Minnesota residents.The Department of Health noted mental illness, substance abuse, history of trauma and impulsive behavior can all contribute to a person's risk, as cana painful loss, social isolation, hopeless feelings, belief by the individual that he or she is a burden and avoiding or not asking for help.Neinen said suicide, rather than being a long-term, planned event, is often impulsive. There are "protective factors" that can help prevent suicide. Those, Neinen said, include feeling socially connected.Thus, she said, if you have a relationship with someone at risk of suicide, it can be helpful to call and then go out for dinner o新蒲崗迷你倉 a movie. If you are worried about yourself, she said, it's been shown that volunteering can help you feel socially connected. United Way 211 helps connect people to volunteer opportunities. Dial 2-1-1 from any Minnesota landline phone or 800-543-7709 on cellphones.Another activity shown by research to increase positive feelings is exercise.Exercise, going out for the evening or volunteering are not replacements for getting urgent help in the event someone is actively talking about a sense of worthlessness, suicidal thoughts or plans to die by suicide. If that happens, seek medical help immediately.Neinen emphasized that suicide is preventable, that there is hope and that help is available.People who think about suicide do not want to die but "they just want to remove the pain," she said. That's why seeking medical care can help, because health professionals can help find the right treatment.The Health Department indicates it plans to increase efforts to prevent suicide, particularly among high-risk groups, such as middle-aged adults."Everyone in Minnesota has a role to play in preventing suicides," said Dr. Dan Reidenberg, executive director of Suicide Awareness Voices for Education. "By knowing the warning signs and what to do if you are concerned about someone, you can save a life."The Health Department says warning signs include:1. Talking about wanting to die.2. Looking for a way to kill oneself.3. Talking about feeling hopeless or having no purpose.4. Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.5. Talking about being a burden to others.6. Increasing the use of alcohol or other drugs.7. Acting anxious, agitated or reckless.8. Sleeping too little or too much, withdrawing or feeling isolated.9. Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge.10. Displaying extreme mood swings.The more signs exhibited, the greater the risk.What can you do?-- Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). After the message you will be connected with a trained call-taker. Veterans can connect with a veterans crisis line if they prefer.-- Do not leave the person alone.-- Remove firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt.-- Take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional.Health reporter Jeff Hansel writes the Pulse on Health column every Monday.

Grading the Storylines
Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉出租Aug. 30--In Thursday's Tulsa World, Bill Haisten listed three Golden Hurricane storylines for the Tulsa-Bowling Green game. Here are Haisten's grades on how TU performed in those key areas:The effect of Nelson's suspensionTulsa was without its most experienced defender as senior safety Demarco Nelson -- a veteran of 39 starts -- was suspended due to an academic issue. The Hurricane offense entered with seven returning starters, while the Hurricane defense played with seven first-time starters -- and yet the TU defense had a better game overall, particularly in defending against the pass. Bowling Green finished with 396 total yards, but Falcon QBs Matt Schilz and Matt Johnson were below average in the passing game -- a combined 12-of-28 for only 163 yards. Tulsa's primary problem was its run defense. The Falcons rushed for 233 yards and three TDs, averaging 4.4 yards per attempt.Can Tulsa's rebuilt line hold up against an excellent Falcon defense?With three new starters (Garrett Stafford at left tackle, Gabe Moyer at center, Davis Walton at right tackle), the Hurricane was OK on pass protection. There were 41 pass attempts, and Bowling Green -- a team that ranked among national sack leaders last season -- managed only one sack for minus-2 yards. Time will tell whether this Falcon defense is good or really, really good, but TU got next to nothing when attempting to run the football. Last season, Tulsa averaged 245.7 rush yards per game. The stat of the night -- Tulsa ran for only 51 yards against Bowling Green. TU averaged only 2.1 yards per attempt and never had a ground gain of more than 7 yards.Cody Green's accuracyLast season, Tulsa quarterback Cody Green completed 54 percent of his passes. Against Bowling Green, he completed 50 percent. Last week, Hurricane coach Bill Blankenship said, "... The 15-yards-and-under passing game, where we can dink it and dunk it around -- we're much improved in that area. The chemistry between (Green) and the receivers -- there's no question that we're much improved there." But against a Bowling Green squad that last season was No. 6 nationally in total defense, the chemistry was shaky. TU receivers fairly consistently got open (particularly, it seemed, in the middle of the field), but there were just too many errant passes. Some underthrown, some overthrown.FIRST QUARTERTulsa 0 -- 0Bowling Green 3 -- 3Key play: Tyler Tate knocks home a 34-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Bowling Green drive died at TU 16.Key stat: In his first in-game attempt at TU, Carl Salazar missed 37-yard field goal wide right. The drive was kept alive by 37-yard pass to Jordan James.Number to know: 1. Cody Green got off to a slow start, hitting just 1 of his first 5 passes.SECOND QUARTERTulsa 0 0 -- 0Bowling Green 3 3 -- 6Key play: An 18-yard scramble by Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson kept alive scoring drive just before half.Key stat: Cody Green was 9-of-20 for 116 yards in first half. Four of those completions were swing passes to running back Trey Watts.Number to know: 2. Tulsa has missed two short field goals. Bowling Green has made two short field goals. That's the first-half difference.THIRD QUARTERTulsa 0 0 0 -- 0Bowling Green 3 3 7 -- 13Key play: Bowling Green hit a 19-yard pass on third down to convert what was a first and 25. Then, the Falcons followed with a 37-yard run.Key stat: One fake punt for TU; one failed fake punt for TU.Number to know: 6. That's how many plays it took Bowling Green to drive 75 yards for TD to open half and take 13-0 lead.FOURTH QUA迷你倉TERTulsa 0 0 0 7 -- 7Bowling Green 3 3 7 21 -- 34Key play: Where do we begin? Fumbled punt. Punt returned for TD. We'll vote for crushing TD at start of quarter following failed fake punt.Key stat: 16 and 8. That's how far the clinching drives were for Bowling Green following a failed fake punt and fumbled punt.Number to know: 27. Only good thing all night for Tulsa. A 27-yard TD pass from backup Dane Evans late in the game and TU trailing by 34 points.STATISTICSTulsa 0 0 0 7 -- 7BOWLING GREEN 3 3 7 21 -- 34A: 18,142FIRST QUARTERBG: Tyler Tate 34 FG, 3:29SECOND QUARTERBG: Tate, 28 FG, :02THIRD QUARTERBG: William Houston 1 run (Tate kick), 12:09FOURTH QUARTERBG: Houston 1 run (Tate kick), 13:52BG: Houston 1 run (Tate kick), 7:34BG: Ryan Burbrink 67 punt return, 6:48TU: Derek Patterson 27 pass from Dane Evans, :45TEAM STATISTICSTU OPPScoring 7 34First downs 12 23by rushing 2 13by passing 9 9by penalty 1 1Rushing yards 51 233Passing yards 222 163Offensive plays 65 81Total yards 273 396Avg. per play 4.2 4.9Kick returns-Yds 2-130 7-409Punt returns-Yds 3-15 3-76Interceptions-Yds 1-11 0-0Fumbles-Lost 0-0 0-0Penalties-Yds 4-25 6-45Punts-Avg. 7-38.1 7-39.33rd downs 6-17 3-134th downs 0-2 3-13Sacks by-Yds 1-3 1-2INDIVIDUAL LEADERSTulsaY/A=Yards/attempt; Y/G=Yards/gameRUSHING No. Yds TD LgJ.

State winners were also named for Pennsylvania, Maryland and Tennessee.The regional excellence award recognizes CONSOL Energy for "exemplary performance using the forest reclamation approach" at its Fola complex in Clay and Nicholas Counties in West Virginia, where some 2.3 million trees have been planted since 2002, reclaiming some 4,000 acres as forestland. An additional 300,000 trees are slated for planting in 2013.Katharine Fredriksen, CONSOL Energy senior vice president of environmental strategy and regulatory affairs, noted the reclamation award is indicative of CONSOL Energy's commitment to being a good steward of the environment."We consider being a good steward of the environment as one of the most important obligations we have," Fredriksen said. "To be honored as both the state and the regional ARRI award winner in recognition of our efforts further validates our commitment to our core value of compliance."To be eligible for the award, a site must be recommended by an inspector with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. Nominations for the award were submitted by Kelly Eades and Barry Curry, inspector specialists; and Paul Emerson, inspector.The nominating document noted that in early 1999, Fola began work on the first area destined for commercial forestry as its post mining land use. Fola, it is noted, was the first to use this approach in the Eastern U.S.In order to accomplish the forest reclamation app迷你倉oach, native topsoil was saved and stockpiled and it was then blended with the best available material to create a rooting/growth medium that fit native species requirements for both soil texture and fertility. A light seeding mix of non-competitive and non-invasive vegetation was used with the planting of a diverse tree mix of both early and late succession species and a few wildlife species. Among the trees planted were northern red oak, white oak, sycamore, sugar maple, white ash, black cherry, black locust, red bud and various pines.Eric McGlothlin, general mine foreman; Dave Bays, project engineer; and Mike Brown, mine engineer, accepted the ARRI award on behalf of CONSOL Energy.About CONSOL EnergyCONSOL Energy Inc. is a Pittsburgh-based producer of coal and natural gas.

Increased fracking raises water supply issue
Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.儲存M.Aug. 30--FARMINGTON -- The growth in hydraulic fracturing to expand oil and gas production in New Mexico is raising fresh questions about the amount of the state's scarce water needed to carry out the task, state legislators said Thursday.But a three-hour hearing on the subject involved more questions than answers. "We don't know the full picture," said Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe.Hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking," involves injecting a high pressure solution of water, sand and chemicals down a well to free trapped oil and gas deep underground.It has led to record levels of oil production in New Mexico, primarily in the state's southeast, which overlies the Permian Basin oil reserves. That has led to oil companies buying water from farmers and cities, according to State Engineer Scott Verhines, the state's top water management official.But members of the Legislature's Water and Natural Resources Committee heard a wide range of numbers about how much water is really being used.Hydraulic fracturing has been used in the industry for decades. But new techniques have greatly expanded its application, allowing oil and gas producers to extract deposits that were previously inaccessible.Along with that bounty of new production, however, have come concerns about the amount of water needed when drilling is done in arid states, along with q新蒲崗迷你倉estions about the risk of contamination.In the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico, where Thursday's hearing was held, water use in coal mining, power plant cooling and agriculture dwarf the use of water in the oil and gas sector, committee members were told.Statewide, only one-fourth of 1 percent of the state's water is used in the oil and gas industry, said Karin Foster of the Independent Petroleum Producers Association.But that overall figure masks potential problems in small, water-scarce localities where drilling is underway, Egolf said.The problem, according to Egolf and others, is that the state lacks comprehensive data on how much water is being used now in hydraulic fracturing operations, how it has increased in recent years, and how it might rise as operations expand. That question is especially pertinent in the San Juan Basin, which oil and gas experts say could be on the verge of a major increase in hydraulic fracturing operations."Hydraulic fracturing is likely to be a part of our future," said L. Greer Price, director of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.Price said the Bureau of Geology is launching a project to begin to collect more data on the issue.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

RIVERSIDE: National Guard flies drone to Rim Fire
Source: The Press-Enterprise, Riverside, Calif.新蒲崗迷你倉Aug. 30--Americans might be uneasy about the idea of unmanned aircraft prowling their skies.But fire officials are almost giddy about how much information they're getting from a Predator drone that is flying above the Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park. They've been able use the aerial views to see through smoke, direct firefighters and provide timely and accurate maps.This is the first time an MQ-1 Predator -- the same unmanned craft used for missions in Afghanistan and Pakistan -- has been deployed by remote pilots at March Air Reserve Base to help fight a wildfire. The National Guard's 163rd Air Reconnaissance Wing sent the plane from its Victorville training facility on Tuesday evening, Aug. 27."What this has allowed us to get is real-time perimeter (information)," Cal Fire spokeswoman Julie Hutchinson said. "We're seeing spot fires that we might not have been able to identify before."Since 2007, NASA has provided an unmanned aircraft to gather information on several wildfires, but the information wasn't relayed in real time, the craft usually didn't fly at night and the duration of the flights was more limited.The Predator has the capability to troll the skies at 19,000 feet for 22 hours at a time. The nighttime data it provides with infrared cameras is particularly useful, said Lt. Col. Eric Fagerland, who has been flying some of the missions."The most important thing is getting accurate information on the position of the fire," Fagerland said. "Without this capability, (fire) crews show up in the morning looking at a map that's probably 20 hours old."Now, he said, they are looking at the perimeter of the fire that's only a few hours or possibly only minutes old.Jeremy Salizzoni, a fire captain out of San Diego, has created those perimeter maps in the past. He would drive or hike to areas where he could get a vantage point and draw or record the fire data by hand. He spent five days on the Rim Fire mapping in remote areas."Just to get to an advantageous place to see anything took hours," Salizzoni said. The Predator has been providing the same information "in a matter of minutes."Spotter planes are used regularly in wildfires. They help direct the airplanes and helicopters dropping water and retardant on the fire and also help map the fire. But those planes don't normally fly mini storaget night and they don't always have the vantage point or equipment to see everything they need to see.With the Predator, Salizooni said, "we're seeing through smoke we wouldn't be able to see through." The drone circles the Rim Fire's more than 300-square-mile footprint in hours, not days, he said.It didn't take long for the drone to show its usefulness."Within the first four hours, we were able to identify a spot fire outside the containment lines," he said.It was 3 a.m."Crews are in the dark and the smoke, where maybe they couldn't see," he added. "But we were able to direct them right in there, and they took care of it."Fagerland's computer screen at March shows a broad view of the fire zone along the shoreline of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, in Yosemite. The camera operator next to him zooms in to look at a closeup of a helicopter hovering over the water, refilling its water tank. The camera then follows the craft as it flies out to the fire line to drop its load.Evaluators in another room can look at the drop, assess its effectiveness and determine whether the same spot needs to be hit again.Having the National Guard and Cal Fire officials working in concert is nothing new. The Guard often supplies tanker planes, helicopters and firefighting crews on major wildfires. The Rim Fire is no exception.But Col. Dana Hessheimer, commander of the 163rd Wing, said getting permission to use the Predator required filing paperwork that went all the way to the office of the Secretary of Defense in Washington, D.C. Tight parameters were established about what the Predator could look at and what it couldn't."With the drone hysteria," Hessheimer said, "that's been the biggest challenge. That's a piece the American people don't understand, how restricted we are."He pointed to the monitors above the flight controls."You can see we're not spying on anyone," he said.Hutchinson said Cal Fire officials are impressed by the information the Predator provides, but it's too early to know under what circumstances it might be used on other wildfires."I think it's going to be accessibility, size and complexity of the fire," she said. But, she added, "It's definitely a tool for the future."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Press-Enterprise (Riverside, Calif.)

深圳目前正當道的愛情活動是什麼，mini storage或者說它們都藏在哪了？據說，深圳新晉的愛情活動組織都非常高端且低調，動輒就出入深圳私家會所，他們還有專門的戀愛會員卡，年費動輒5000元以上，能夠參加全年派對，還保證進行一對一的私人輔導，神秘得完全成為小圈子的秘愛活動。還有另外一種渠道的愛情活動，以男方或女方同性為一個組群，彼此在各自圈子里聊男人、女人、事業和其他，以共同進步交男/女朋友為目的，更主要責任是完善自我，通過圈子交流讓自己變得更美好。0 1今年上半年，深圳愛情活動徹底擺脫過氣相親味必須要承認，在2013年以前，深圳多數戀愛、相親和愛情活動還是以城鄉結合部的傳統相親形式進行的。深圳29歲白領楠楠回憶2012年參加過一次由某大型婚戀網站在深圳組織的七夕活動。最經典的場景是，場地被主辦方包裝成連鄉村愛情故事都會棄用的惡俗彩色氣球門，一進入大門，四處飄散著禮花筒噴射出的五顏六色的碎片。在場的很多男生都噴了特硬的膠水造型發，這些彩色亮碎片就飄灑在男生的頭髮上，牢牢地粘在上面，就像是穿越回80年代的新郎。現場女嘉賓都被要求穿著晚禮服，可卻在現場要求佩戴上紫色花朵的胸花，"整個兒一起特別像是土俗伴娘團，還是被集體放了鴿子的那種"。相親形式不夠新穎、戀愛活動不夠新鮮、活動頻率不夠明顯和相親活動時效時間短等，成為很多年輕人詬病深圳愛情、相親活動不夠完美的地方。當然還有更多吐槽的地方，比如說好的白領、骨幹、精英，到了現場全都變成中年禿頂大叔和大肚肥男的集中營，新浪網友愛飛飛坨就吐槽"深圳的相親現場就像是一場大齡女遭遇二婚男的災難現場，實在慘不忍睹"。2013年上半年，深圳進行了幾場反響還算不錯的婚戀派對活動。雖然談不上100分，但他們至少擺脫了土式掉渣的相親活動氣味。以睿麗·高端婚戀俱樂部為例，該俱樂部接連組織了假面舞會、高端知識講座和品酒會等活動，目前在深圳白領圈小有名氣，很多人都成為組織中的一員。另外幾場活動則由不同組織舉辦，共性是落地深圳，每次活動的人數並不多，一般集中在50人左右。活動場地不再是動輒五星級酒店，而是有意識選擇一些文青愛的地方，比如O C T創意園或南海意庫，活動也從傳統的玩遊戲、表現才藝，轉到攝影、登山運動以及內心領域的關注。0 2婚戀和社交都正在呈現出小圈子交流的趨勢 2013年，深圳幾個新晉的婚戀組織或社交團體都趨向于小圈子交流，並設有一定門檻，有一定姿態，並不是對所有人開放。比如，睿麗·高端婚戀俱樂部特別針對高級白領、公務員、海歸、外國人、企業家和總經理級別以上進行活動，職場身份一般的人想要參與活動必須要提早預訂活動名單，並且需要提早給活動預留好充足的準備時間。而新晉在微信圈里很火的海歸協會玫瑰會，它是深圳大中華新海歸協會在微信朋友圈內的一次嘗試，圈內的84名成員幾乎都是經過挑選才能加入其中，而滿足入self storage的基本條件是海歸。這個組群並不單純以相親或婚戀為目的，而是傳達各種與女性修為和個人魅力有關的內容，由於組員的個人素質接近，彼此交流的話題能夠得到共鳴，因而受到很多組內成員的好評。深圳新類別的婚戀或愛情組織，開始有意識設定門檻，並且嘗試將組群功能細分。比如海歸玫瑰會就是針對海歸群體，而睿麗俱樂部側重于城中白領、骨幹和精英。同時還有豆瓣組織的各類同城婚戀交友活動，他們則將關注點聚焦在文藝青年的身上。分析這些不同類別的組織舉辦的活動，他們多與有情調的酒店、咖啡館、酒吧進行合作，這點與2012年深圳幾乎所有婚戀活動都扎堆在星級酒店有很大不同。今年的婚戀活動更接地氣，並且更有親近感。比如，即將舉行的豆瓣同城活動"解讀異性眼中的你"就是在民居進行，還有很多D IY甜蜜蛋糕派對，都在私人蛋糕坊進行。情感專欄作家陳保才認為，逐步精確細分婚戀活動市場，是深圳婚戀活動業界逐漸成熟的一個標誌，組織方盈利的目的性越來越小，更多時候是要組建一個社交平台，然後整合全部成員資源，這要比單純收一次活動100元要更加劃算。0 3相親軟件層出不窮，分搶地面相親資源上半年，深圳婚戀、交友、派對活動的重要變化是——— 新式社交媒體的更新。睿麗組織和舉辦了假面舞會、高端愛情讀書會；豆瓣上七夕節的甜蜜D IY自制蛋糕愛情活動，以及埃克斯咖啡卓越店計劃在這周末針對海歸群體組織舉辦中秋相親派對，分析這些活動它們的共性是，社交資源從Q Q向微信大規模轉移。毫不誇張地說，幾乎所有的新式婚戀、社交活動都在微信上設有一個組群，然後組織方定期在上面發佈活動信息、參與人數和集合的時間、地點。必須要承認的一個事實是，深圳的地面婚戀、相親活動有逐漸減少的傾向。主要原因是，各類相親軟件開始有目的、大規模地拼搶現有的相親資源，並且逐漸演化成所有的A pp軟件都有變成相親和交友的可能。最近天涯上大熱的一個帖子就是講一對情侶是怎樣從Instagram上發展成朋友，最後成為情侶的，更不說陌陌、某某這些老式或新式的交友軟件。深圳愛情活動指南中秋愛情提早預熱活動進行盲配分組、猜燈謎、咖啡拉花和自由交流活動，費用100R M B /人，包括一杯咖啡和甜品，每位女士將免費獲得面膜一片。時間：8月31日19：30-22：30 地點：深圳市卓越世紀中心卓越intow n2樓L228-1埃克斯咖啡卓越店報名方式：用手機搜索"我是海歸網"微信公�平台，直接回複"中秋+姓名+性別+××海歸+年齡"，確認後即報名成功。PapiPapi Pool Party盛夏狂歡泳衣派對，Bikini Girls下午4點前入場免費。活動預售票80元/張，現場票100元/張(均含30元消費券)。報名方式，微信搜索"Hapolife"。時間：9月7日地點：深圳市大中華喜來登酒店王子俱樂部採寫：南都記者 董馨圖片：資料圖片迷你倉

《時局的生意：霍英東自述》一書真實、詳盡，迷你倉原汁原味地保留了霍英東對親歷往事的追憶，對敏感事件、歷史人物的評價。內容涵蓋東亞近幾十年幾乎每次重大變化的細節內幕，亦處處流露出霍英東一生洞察時局、捕捉商機的大格局、大智慧。第一戰從德國法蘭克福開始上世紀七八十年代，我正處於人生的中年、壯年階段，又身兼香港地產建設商會會長，但已經沒有上世紀五六十年代時縱橫香港地產市場的行動，逐漸淡出。在逐漸淡出香港商界的同時，我卻與北京方面走得更近。那時，我和新華社官員差不多每個月都見一次。這方面的情況，我的朋友何銘思先生在他的文章中曾經談過。何先生一直在新華社香港分社工作。我在這裡引用他的一些追述："霍英東先生主要是在地產商會起作用，他是會長……他經常請李嘉誠等地產商，到他家吃飯，或是到新華社在山頂的招待所和沙湧別墅，讓梁威林與他們見面、交談。梁威林那時是新華分社社長，對霍生很重視。怎樣在地產商里打開困局，霍生起的作用很大……"自1964年第一次北上京城參加國慶慶典活動後，每年，我都參加香港同胞國慶觀禮團赴京觀禮。此外，我還多次率領香港的地產界、工商界和體育界人士，回大陸旅行、參觀、訪問。在上世紀70年代，我幾乎擔任或兼任過香港每一個單項體育協會的會長或名譽首腦。1974年，我還參與亞洲足球聯合會領導層的競選，並成功被選為副主席。那時，海峽兩岸在國際上都沒有太大的體育空間，大陸和台灣都利用香港的特殊地位參與一些體育活動，因而香港體育界的角色和影響力極為重要。我的"體育外交"第一戰就是從德國的法蘭克福開始。那是1974年，國際足聯在那裡開年會，會上要討論中國重返國際足聯的問題。自1949年後，一些國際體育組織就邀中國加入，但"蔣政權"的會籍仍然存在。按照各體育協會的章程，一個國家只有一個合法席位。所以，中國要入會，就必須先"驅蔣"，不然就是承認兩個中國。但驅除一個會員出會，是一個很重要、很複雜的問題。那時國際足聯的主席羅斯是英國人，巴西的阿維蘭熱正準備與他競選下任主席職務。我是亞洲的代表，之前，我已經透過香港的鐘逸傑，與羅斯達成默契，以"為開除台灣的會籍舉行簡單 多數表決"作為支持羅斯繼任主席的條件。我們怎麼也估計不到，用簡單多數舉手的方式，也湊不夠支持我們的人數。因為國際足聯的會員以歐洲會員居多，他們反對開除台灣的會籍。第一次，我們失敗了。展開體育外交1974年秋季，亞洲運動會在伊朗德黑蘭舉行，中國雖然還沒有加入亞洲的任何體育組織，但也派代表團參會。亞洲足聯也選擇在亞運會期間，在德黑蘭開會。當時的亞洲足聯主席是馬來西亞總理東姑拉曼，他基本是親台的。我以香港足總會長的身份代表香港參加足聯會議。我事先已經聯合一些代表，籌劃驅逐台灣出會。按照章程，一般申請要提前兩個月遞交，才能列入會議的議程，而我們只是提前兩個禮拜遞交給亞洲足聯，但那時大會的議程已經安排好並印出來了。第二天一大早，我就去拜訪東姑拉曼，向他提出討論中國入會的問題。但東姑拉曼說，北京以驅逐台灣出會為前提，實現難度很大；加上提交的申請報告太遲，不符合大會提前兩個月提交議程的規定。東姑拉曼以此為由，表示免談，執委會已決定，不能討論這個問題，等下次再說。若錯過這次機會，就得再等兩年才能重提這個問題。我很失望，但並沒有放棄，連忙想辦法尋找其他途徑。上午開會，國際足聯主席作報告，我坐在那裡並沒用心聽，只是埋頭翻查亞洲足聯章程，發現有這樣一條條款：若有四分之三以上的與會者提出議程之外的問題，則可以把這個問題視為緊急事項，作為臨時動議，列入大會議程。我如獲至寶，即刻找對中國友好的伊朗、科威特的代表商議。下午繼續開會，我和伊朗等國的代表向大會提出中國的入會問題，應該作為一個緊急事項。但東姑拉曼反對，他說："中國入會只不過是遲早問題，這不是緊急事件。"我就極力申辯，說中國是亞洲人口最多的國家，且北京政府又是聯合國承認的唯一代表中國的政府，其入會的事情當然是非常重要、緊急的。最後東姑拉曼勉強同意大會代表投票表決是否討論中國入會問題。其實，能否獲四分之三的代表支持，我心裡並不是很有底。當時，台灣也有一個代表以"中華民國"的身份參加大會。我即刻問伊朗的代表："為什麼有個台灣代表在這裡?"因為那時伊朗已和中國建交，我覺得伊朗簽証給台灣代表，等於承認兩個中國。伊朗代表一聽，也很緊張，連忙問台灣代表是怎麼來的?台灣代表說，他是從香港來的。伊朗代表又問他簽什麼證，對方答是旅遊簽証。伊朗代表查看他的護照，果然是旅遊簽証，於是對他說文件倉"你來旅遊，那我們帶你旅遊好了!"說完，就拉他出去。台灣代表一走，就進行投票，結果28票對7票，剛剛有四分之三的代表通過。若台灣代表在場，就不足四分之三票數。真是很危險!中國在奧委會取得合法席位到了上世紀80年代初期，我還時常到世界各地奔走呼號，以恢複中華人民共和國在世界各單項體育組織中的合法會籍。雖然早在上世紀70年代初期，中國政府就已經被聯合國承認，但由於台灣仍然與一些國家和國際體育組織保持關係，故除了亞洲足聯等個別體育組織接納大陸為 成員外，大陸重返大多數的國際單項體育組織，則是在國際奧委會讓大陸取代台灣成為會員之後的事。1979年10月，國際奧委會在日本召開大會，大陸方面也派代表參加。當時，台灣仍以"中華民國"名義在國際奧委會占一席之位。大陸代表向大會提出，中華人民共和國既是國際社會承認的唯一代表中國人民的合法政府，則應該取代台灣的"中華民國"，重返國際奧委會；若台灣要繼續留在國際奧委會，就必然作為中國的一個地區組織，要改名、改旗、改歌。大陸的提議被國際奧委會接納為議案，並付諸表決。結果，提案獲得大多數支持，中國在國際奧委會被剝奪了30年的合法權利得到恢複。消息傳來，我歡欣鼓舞。1980年，震霆代表香港自行車協會，遠赴荷蘭參加國際自行車協會的年會。會前，我和他已經"密謀"一番，商量如何協助中國加入國際自行車協會。震霆聯合其他代表，向大會提出議案，要求台灣改名"中國台灣"或"中國台北"，不能使用"國歌"和"國旗"，同時接納中國參加國際自行車協會。震霆這次赴荷蘭，同行者只有他新婚不久的太太朱玲玲。震霆夫婦到荷蘭，一住下酒店，就有7個台灣特工在那裡等候他們，查看他們在酒店登記的資料。又一個"一票之差"每次到外國參加體育組織會議，總是這7個台灣佬和震霆他們周旋，他們到哪裡，這幾個人就跟到哪裡，吃飯時也跟著。每次，這7個人都對他們說這樣一句話："我們是台灣，是'中華民國'，國際創始國。"而每次，震霆也總是這樣回敬他們："我是運動員，來自香港，我可以代表香港到世界任何一個地方參加比賽、進行體育交流，我覺得你們不應該利用體育搞政治。是啊，你們的'國旗'很漂亮，'中華民國'的名很好聽，但你們的運動員不能到英國、中國香港，最簡單的辦法，不要堅持扯你們的'國旗'，不要堅持用'中華民國'這個名，明天，你們就可以去中國香港、去英國，去世界任何一個地方比賽。而中國也可以做會員，變成全世界的運動員都可以在一起……"正式開會了，台灣方面聯合一些支持者，反對我們起草好的方案。台灣代表發言說，台灣與其他會員是一樣的，權利是均等的，若要改名、改歌、改旗，就是對台灣的歧視。震霆在會上對議案據理力爭，極力反駁台灣代表的觀點。支持和反對的聲音此起彼伏，現場氣氛非常緊張。對議案進行表決。結果，以一票之差通過議案，中國得以加入國際自行車協會，而台灣也被要求改名、改歌、改旗。1975年9月，我以港澳體育參觀團團長的身份，率領30多人到北京，觀摩第三屆全運會。那時，科威特全國足協主席艾哈邁德·薩敦應邀到京，我還陪他到長城遊玩，與他商談恢複中國在國際足聯席位和"驅蔣"的事宜。9月30日，我還收到以周恩來總理名義發出的請柬，應邀到人民大會堂出席國務院舉辦的國慶招待會。全運會結束後，我還率團到天津、西安、上海、南京等地觀光。1977年7月中旬，我又率領香港足球代表團和香港足球總會參觀團，到北京參與、觀摩"北京國際足球友好邀請賽"。參加這次邀請賽的，除了中國隊和中國香港隊外，還有亞洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的一些國家和地區的足球隊。中國香港隊在這次邀請賽中表現出色，先後擊敗了埃塞俄比亞、伊朗和國家一隊而晉級決賽。在決賽中，中國香港隊輸給年輕力壯、整體合作默契的國家青年隊，屈居亞軍。中國政府對這次足球邀請賽極為重視。國家領導人李先念和剛剛重出政壇的鄧小平，一起觀看了決賽，並出席邀請賽的閉幕式。7月30日晚，鄧小平還在球場貴賓室，會見我們香港隊的代表。自1964年國慶節在北京見到鄧小平後，這是我第二次與鄧小平相見。穿著短袖襯衫的鄧小平，神采奕奕。他親切地握著我的手，相互交談起來，談足球、談體育的交流。由於鄧小平本身也是"足球迷"，故談起足球來，興趣甚高。會見之後，我們又一起觀看了足球比賽。當時，我還和鄧小平合影留念。這張 照片，我一直珍藏著。1992年春天，鄧小平南巡到達深圳時，我把準備好的這張像片遞上，請鄧小平在上面簽名留念。鄧小平見到這張照片，微笑一下，就欣然提筆，在照片上寫下自己的大名。存倉

Net profit and total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose to $1m and $4.3m, respectively, from a net loss of $4.5m and total revenue of $2.8m for the same quarter ended June 30, 2011.BANK AUDI EGYPT POSTS EGP212M IN H1 NET PROFITS: Bank Audi (Egypt), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lebanon-based Bank Audi, has said its net profits for the six months to the end of June jumped to EGP212.25m, compared with EGP102.9m in the same period a year ago. Net interest income rose to EGP360.84 from EGP282.16 a year earlier, the lender said.LLOYD'S PROBING INSURERS OVER POSSIBLE INTERNATIONAL SANCTION BREACHES: Lloyd's is probing whether market insurers are breaching international sanctions by trading with countries such as Iran and North Korea, the Sunday Times has reported. The review is not targeting any individual firm but the market as a whole, the report said. Lloyd's launched the probe two months ago and a report is due out next year, it said.$21M CLAIM AGAINST UBS DISMISSED BY DUBAI COURT: A $21.4m by a member of Kuwait's ruling family against UBS AG has been dismissed by a Dubai court, Reuters has reported. According to the lawsuit by Sheikh Meshal, the Swiss bank failed to pay him for helping it become lead arranger on a $9bn asset sale by Kuwaiti telecoms operator Zain. Justice Sir David Steel described Sheikh Meshal in the written verdict as a witness, in whose evidence it was "difficult to have confidence ... his evidence in some respects did not just appear evasive but was demonstrably unreliable." "There was no motive for the bank to seek help in its engagement as financial advisor to Zain let alone at substantial financial cost," Justice Steel wrote.US COURT DISMISSES 90 PERCENT OF CLAIMS AGAINST ARAB BANK: Jordan-headquartered Arab Bank has announced that a New York federal court has dismissed over 90 percent of the claims in a long-running lawsuit accusing the lender of providing banking services to charities and individuals allegedly affiliated with Palestinian militants, The Daily Star has reported. Judge Brian Cogan of the Court of the Eastern District of New York ordered the dismissal of the claims filed by over 6,000 of the plaintiffs under the US' Alien Tort Statute, the bank said. A trial is scheduled to take place in January 2014, marking the first time a bank has been tried in the US for terrorism financing under the act.SAUDI CREDIT AND SAVINGS TO FINANCE OVER 415 SME PROJECTS: The Saudi Credit and Saving Bank (SCSB) has approved the financing of 415 small and new enterprises with SR87m, Arab News has reported.

The surge in net income is chiefly due to sharp increases in unrealised net foreign exchange gains from 3.7bn Syrian pounds in the first half of 2012 to 31.4bn in same period in 2013, according to data by Byblos Bank. "There is no actual improvement and the only reason that there is such an increase in profits is the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the fact that these banks report their profits in Syrian pounds," said chief economist at Byblos Bank, Nassib Ghobril.AMERICAN EXPRESS, BBK RENEW PARTNERSHIP DEAL: American Express Middle East (AEME) and Bahrain's BBK have renewed and expanded their partnership, which covers American Express bill settlements through BBK's internet retail banking channel and its branch network, Gulf Daily News has reported. According the renewed agreement, mutual clients of the two organisations can now settle their American Express bills in both US dollars and Bahrain dinars online, using BBK's internet retail banking channel.

"It is part of our strategy to create a universal banking platform which will also include our wholesale banking operations," said GIB's chief financial officer, Stephen Williams. "We are planning to expand our operations and we have already been recruiting to do this," he said.EGYPT BANKS RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS: Egypt's central bank has announced that commercial banks will return to normal working hours starting Monday - 8:30am to 2:00pm for clients and until 3:00pm for employees, Ahram has reported. This follows a decision by the country's interim cabinet that the curfew imposed on 14 Egyptian governorates will be enforced from 9pm (instead of 7pm) until 6am with the exception of Friday (7pm - 6am).SABB TO SELL ISLAMIC BOND TO BOOST CAPITAL: Saudi British Bank (SABB), an affiliate of HSBC Holdings and the kingdom's third-largest listed lender by market value, is aiming to sell a Tier 2 capital-boosting Islamic bond before the end of the year, Reuters has reported, citing two banking sources aware of the matter. HSBC is advising SABB on the potential riyal-denominated transaction, the sources said.ALJAZIRA EXPANDS IN RIYADH: Saudi lender, Bank AlJazira has announced the opening of its new Sahafa Branch in Riyadh, as part of the bank's expansion plans to meet the growing demand on its Shari'ah-compliant financial services, Saudi Gazette has reported. The bank, which has 60 branches and 21 dedicated female sections, said that more branches are planned to go online this year.EGYPTIAN EXPATS REMITTANCES HIT EGP19BN: Egyptian manpower and emigration minister, Kamal Abu Eita has said monetary transfers made by Egyptians living abroad totalled EGP19bn, Daily News Egypt has reported. Total savings of Egyptian expats approached EGP1.2trn, of which only 45 percent was being used, spent and invested, he said.ENBD TO RAISE $12BN FOR CLIENTS: Emirates NBD expects to raise over $12bn for clients in the remainder of the year, boosting investment banking income as the lender seeks expansion, Bloomberg has reported. The UAE's largest bank by assets has mandates for about 20 bond and loan deals after helping raise $14.6bn for clients in 23 such transactions so far this year, said the lender's head of wholesale banking, Giel-Jan Van Der Tol. The new transactions will raise revenue at the lender's wholesale banking unit by more than 10 percent over the next 12 month and loan growth by 6 percent, he said.OMAN'S ODB MULLING ISLAMIC WINDOW: Oman Development Bank (ODB) has said it is considering the launch of an Islamic window to offer Shari'ah-compliant products to small and medium-sized firms, Reuters has reported. Government-owned ODB considered a full-fledged conversion to become an Islamic bank, but is likely instead to opt for an Islamic window, said Hamed bin Salim Al Harthy, assistant general manager for branches at ODB. "The bank will not move toward becoming a full Islamic bank but we have to keep up with the trend in the market, and the trend is for Islamic products," he told the news service.BMI BANK SETTLES $80M LOAN AHEAD OF SCHEDULE: Bahrain-headquartered BMI Bank has said it has repaid its three-year syndicated term loan of $80m six months ahead of its scheduled due date, Gulf Daily News has reported. The three-year oversubscribed facility was signed in February 2011 and arranged by Bank Muscat (Oman) with Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, Standard Chartered Bank and Arab Banking Corp as participants.SARASIN ALPEN TO WITHDRAW FROM OMAN BY MONTH-END: Swiss private bank Sarasin-Alpen is planning to shut down its operations in Oman by the end of this month, Times of Oman has reported, citing informed sources. The reason behind the decision is not clear yet, but it could be due to a global restructuring plan, after the bank was taken over by Safra Group, another Swiss private banking group, the sources said. In addition to Oman, Sarasin Alpen has operations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain.JORDAN MULLING LAUNCHING BANK TO HELP SMES: Jordan is studying a plan to establish a state-owned bank to offer low cost credit facilities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Jordan Times has reported. The proposed bank would not accept deposits in order not to compete with commercial banks in the kingdom and would offer easy lending conditions, as well as long term loans that should carry affordable interest rates.BANK DEPOSITS IN SAUDI ARABIA HIT NEW RECORD IN Q1: The National Commercial Bank (NCB) has said the total deposits with Saudi lenders reached a new record of SR1.36trn by the end of first quarter of 2013, Arab News has reported. NCB's customer deposits, the largest in the market, grew 11.6 percent year-on-year to SR276.7bn in March 2013, followed by Al-Rajhi Bank, which almost doubled that growth rate of NCB at 20.9 percent to SR231.7bn. Banks have extended SR153bn in additional financing during last year. Over the first quarter of 2013, Saudi banks have expanded by a further SR40.2bn, said the report.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 AME Info (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) Visit AME Info (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) at .ameinfo.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存倉

Eternit - Notice to the Market
SAO PAULO, Aug.存倉 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Eternit, founded 73 years ago, market leader in the Brazilian roofing segment, with a significant presence in the bathroom chinaware and metal bathroom fittings segments and a manufacturer of components for construction systems, hereby informs the market that it was served with a summons yesterday afternoon, in a public-interest civil lawsuit filed by the Public Labour Ministry under lawsuit No. 0002106-72-2013.5.02.0009, which is currently before the 9th District Labour Court of Sao Paulo.In contrast to that reported by a number of articles that have appeared in the press, in acquainting itself with the court process, the Company is able to identify that the injunction decision does not impose any cost burden on the health plan for all its former employees, which had been estimated by some at between 8000 and 10,000 people. Notwithstanding that the Company disagrees with its merits and that there is a need for a detailed examination of this very complex and voluminous court case, the decision is very clear in that it imposes a requirement for providing health assistance for "all the former employees from the Osasco industrial plant (...) referring to pages 76/83", with respect to "damage to health associated with occupational exposure to asbestos" provided, (i) that they are not already included under a health plan, the cost of which is borne by the Company; and (ii) that the potential beneficiaries confirm their interest in receiving medical assistance.Also, because it has been possible to carry out preliminary verification of the case, the report covers 297 people, of which it has been possible to verify that a significant percentage has, over a period of time, already received medical assistance - the cost of which has been borne by Eternit.The Company believes that it is important to also make it clear that five of the six requests for interlocutory relief previously drawn up by the Public Labour Ministry have been dismissed by Her Honour the Labour Judge and will be duly analysed during the course of the court case.With respect to the institutional role of the MPT and the renewal of its commitment to continue to enforce complian迷你倉e with laws and legal rulings, the Company believes that there is no basis for this court case, and hereby announces that it will be carrying out a vigourous defence of its rights at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner.The Company also emphasises that it strictly complies with the safety standards and procedures established by Federal Law 9.055/95 and Decree 2.350/97 which regulates it, and which is recommended by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), in its Convention No. 162. This reality is translated into a favourable environment for the conducting of healthy work, exempt from risks, which preserves the health of the Company's employees, this fact having also been also recognised in a number of court decisions.With respect to the Osasco manufacturing unit, which ceased activities in 1993, the Company maintains an office which provide social assistance and support for former employees, together with medical monitoring.The Company operates in total transparency and maintains its "Open Doors Program", which has received more than 50,000 visitors at its various units, allowing access to any of the population wishing to learn about the safety procedures used in the Company's mining and chrysotile asbestos-based product manufacturing processes.The Company wishes to emphasise its continued firm belief in Brazilian justice, and hopes that the technical and scientific evidence will be duly considered in the judgement of the case, disregarding susceptibility to pressure groups in favour of banning chrysotile asbestos, based purely on the unsuccessful European experience.Conference call with Webcast (in Portuguese-simultaneous translation to English)Presentation: Elio Martins - CEO and IR DirectorDate: August 30, 2013Time: 09.00 a.m. Brazilian Local Time - 08.00 a.m. New York - 01.00 p.m. LondonConference call can be followed on the website link .ccall.com.br/eternit/extra_august2013.htm or .eternit.com.br/irTo follow the presentation by telephone, please dial the following telephone numbers: (55-11) 4688-6361 for Brazil and (1-786) 924-6977 for other countries -Password:ETERNITContact: ri@eternit.com.br, +55-11-3194-3881Eternit S.A.Web site: .eternit.com.br/ir/自存倉
Beloved Hollywood turkeys from 'Mommie Dearest' to 'Plan 9'
Source: Connecticut Post, BridgeportAug.迷你倉出租 29--Movie buffs will sometimes talk more passionately about bad movies they love -- from "Plan 9 from Outer Space" to "Mommie Dearest" -- than acknowledged classics such as "Citizen Kane" or "Vertigo.""When people talk about good movies, they're polite, but when they talk about bad movies their interest always ratchets up," Fairfield critic Phil Hall says of the impulse that led him to write "The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time" (Bear Manor Media, $21.95).In a recent interview, Hall said there is often "more fun in talking about bad movies. ... People will often quote dialogue from them."The longtime critic for the Film Threat website has gathered together an amazing array of bad movies, from cult favorites like "Airport 1975" to such oddities as Jean-Luc Godard's little seen version of "King Lear," starring Woody Allen and Molly Ringwald.Hall also takes readers into the underground of stinkers that have been long unavailable except in bootleg editions, including the four-hour version of Bob Dylan's "Renaldo and Clara."The movies in his book are what Hall calls "the anti-classics," ranging over most of the major genres, from drama to comedy, documentary to porn.In the introduction, Hall writes, "If there is a common ground, it comes via the audience's shock: It is hard to comprehend that such films exist."The critic said he wasn't interested in filling a book with schlocky horror movies or cheap Japanese science-fiction films from earlier eras -- those targets are too easy. Instead, Hall shows us how some of the greatest stars, such as Rex Harrison and Richard Burton, stumbled in terrible films like the 1969 disaster, "Staircase."Hall said the trigger for the book happened a few years ago when he was acting in an independent film and someone on the set said, "Have you seen 'The Room'?"A laptop was pulled out and cast members started quoting lines from the notorious 2003迷你倉cult film, starring Tommy Wiseau, which some fans believe is the worst-acted movie of all time (choice clips are available on YouTube).Part of the fun of really obscure bad films, Hall said, is having to track them down on YouTube and Internet sites, such as iOffer, specializing in unlicensed bootleg copies of films that have never been released via legitimate video sources."YouTube is an extraordinary source, a godsend for films you can't find on DVD," Hall said, adding that buffs who post these goodies always seem to figure out ways to elude cease-and-desist orders from copyright holders.The book includes a 1975 20th Century Fox release, "All This and World War II," which became a lost film after rights to the Beatles music on the soundtrack were withdrawn, making a videocassette or DVD release impossible."I searched for that film for four or five years," Hall said. "I finally got a copy from a washing machine repairman in Belfast (Ireland) who had taped it off the BBC. ... It is very unlikely that it ever will be re-released."Hall said one of his favorite films in the book -- "Airport 1975" -- might have played a role in his eventual occupation as a critic, when he saw it as a 9-year-old child in the Bronx, N.Y."I realized even then that there was something wrong in that movie," he said, laughing, of the daffy plot about a stewardess (Karen Black) who has to take over the controls of a 747 after the entire flight crew is killed in a collision with a small passenger plane.Hall's book is permeated with affection for the bad movies we love."I didn't want to use the book just to make fun of bad movies. ... They're a part of our pop culture, and film history ... a parallel universe," he said.jmeyers@ctpost.com; Twitter: twitter.com/joesviewCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Connecticut Post (Bridgeport, Conn.)

Probable cause ruling invalidates evidence
Source: Mail Tribune, Medford, Ore.迷你倉價錢Aug. 29--ROGUE RIVER -- The case against three suspects accused of robbing a medical marijuana grower in Rogue River at gunpoint took a huge hit after a judge ruled the evidence found in the alleged getaway car cannot be used in a trial.Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Mejia found that a Jackson County sheriff's deputy violated the constitutional rights of the suspects when he pulled their car over without probable cause the night the crime was reported.The alleged robbery occurred in July 2012 at a home in the 3500 block of Evans Creek Road in Rogue River. Officials say a medical marijuana grower who lives there said he was robbed at gunpoint by two men wearing dark blue bandannas.The suspects broke into the home while the victim was asleep, then forced him to hand over $700 in cash, the Sheriff's Department reported.A struggle ensued, and the victim was beaten by the suspects; a shot was fired during the fight, though no one was hit by the bullet, according to records filed in Jackson County Circuit Court.The suspects were last seen fleeing into a nearby wood.Jackson County sheriff's Deputy Jesus Murillo was on patrol in White City when the robbery report came over the radio. He decided to make his way to the scene in Rogue River via Meadows Road, according to court documents.At 3:55 a.m. Murillo saw a Mitsubishi Galant driving toward his patrol car on Meadows Road. Murillo decided to follow the car and eventually pulled it over.According to court documents, the deputy approached the car and noticed that two men and a woman were inside. He asked them to leave the car and placed them in handcuffs.One of the passengers gave deputies on the scene permission to search the vehicle. This turned up a gun matching the victim's description and some cash matching the denominations the victim claimed were stolen from his house, the documents state.The suspects were identified as William Jack Thomas Sandlin, 23, J迷你倉seph Aaron Callas, 29, and Brooke Villa-Staton, 20, all of Grants Pass.The traffic stop was ruled illegal by Mejia last week because there was no probable cause to pull the car over, according to defense attorney Justin Rosas.Rosas noted in a motion to suppress the evidence collected in the car that Murillo stated that he intended to pull over every car he saw in the area that night without developing probable cause to initiate a traffic stop.This is a violation of a defendant's constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure, the judge ruled.The ruling means that all evidence seized in the car, including the money and the gun, would not be permissible at trial. This could deal the prosecution a severe blow in tying the alleged suspects to the robbery.Jackson County prosecutor Jeremy Markiewicz declined to comment on the specifics of the traffic stop and the case. He did say that he would appeal the suppression ruling to the Oregon Attorney General's Office.Rosas also declined to discuss the particulars of the case, choosing instead to release a prepared statement."I filed this motion to suppress based on what I felt was a clear violation of our client's rights in this case," Rosas said. "While we appreciate the State's right to appeal, we are confident the Judge made the right decision and upheld Mr. Callas' constitutional rights in the face of an illegal traffic stop."Rosas is Callas' defense attorney, but the suppression ruling applies to all of the defendants.All three have since been released from custody after pleading not guilty to charges of first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and first-degree burglary. Callas and Sandlin also face a charge of third-degree assault in the case.A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for Sept. 30 in Jackson County Circuit Court.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Mail Tribune (Medford, Ore.)

A location has not been determined. Currently, Lavender is housed at 721 Springfield St., Dayton.Dalichau anticipates 2013 revenues of approximately $1 million, up from about $500,000 the first full year of business."What's driving the growth is word of mouth, which comes directly from the processes we have in place to ensure quality to our clients and stability with our caregivers," such as training and a stringent hiring process新蒲崗迷你倉 Dalichau said.Lavender accepts payment through the Greene County Council on Aging, the PASSPORT waiver and ComCare programs through Area Agency on Aging in Dayton, private pay and long-term care insurance.Dayton home care companies are growing to meet the demands of an aging population that prefers to stay in their homes as long as possible, local experts say.

半島酒店大連路演吸客
香港文匯報訊（記者 毛絮薇）記者在大連專訪了香港半島酒店總經理陳娜嘉，迷你倉就半島集團旗下酒店未來發展、投資意向、員工福利以及最近完成的翻新裝修工作回答了記者提問。她介紹在半島酒店創業85周年之際，完成了投資達4億5千萬港元的翻新工程，因此半島酒店成了最老也最新的酒店。客房科技設施首屈一指 新裝修裡尤其引人注目的是客房科技設施部分，床邊及書桌上的互動觸控式控制面板有五種語文顯示(英文、法文、繁、簡體中文以及日文)，可以按客人選擇預先設定，調節房間內的燈光、空調、窗簾、電視，以及與酒店各服務部門聯絡點餐等。新增的大型會議中心、婚禮宴會廳，加上露台裝修，共耗資約7,800萬港元。陳娜嘉介紹，正在與集團爭取員工的五天工作日。酒店業員工一般都是五天半或者六天工作日，但陳娜嘉表示，現在香港的年輕人更加注重生活的品質，因此為了吸引更優秀的年輕人投入到半島集團，文件倉們計劃長期推行五天工作日。而且由於推動5天工作日，所以酒店需要多招收100名新員工，並計劃用兩年的時間培訓。陳娜嘉表示，區別於普通酒店的3個月培訓期，2年確實很長，但半島酒店這樣做可以培養員工用心服務，提高員工忠誠度。呼籲赴港旅客選投半島 對於酒店未來的投資走向，陳娜嘉表示，目前半島酒店在中國一共有香港、北京、上海三家酒店，我們也考慮可否在二線城市投資半島酒店，但由於半島酒店投資比較大，因此考慮在某地投資，將是一個很漫長的過程。陳娜嘉透露，明年巴黎半島酒店將建成，最近簽署了在緬甸仰光和英國倫敦的半島酒店計劃。「雖然半島集團旗下只有9家酒店，但悠久的歷史是區別於其他酒店的地方，我們把這些不同之處，推廣給大連的遊客，大連對我們來說是一個比較重要的城市，去香港的遊客和會議都很多，我們很希望借助來此舉辦活動，吸引更多的大連遊客去香港，選擇香港半島酒店。」存倉

John Kasich's proposal to expand Medicaid coverage to about 270,000 newly eligible enrollees as originally called for under the Affordable Care Act.Representatives from Aetna Better Health of Ohio, Buckeye Community Health Plan and other private insurers -- who contract with the state to enroll Medicaid recipients in health plans that they administer -- told the subcommittee that while the Medicaid system may be flawed, providing health coverage for low-income residents is better than leaving them with no coverage because the cost to care for the uninsured falls on the state.In addition, Medicaid improves access to care, lowers unmet health care needs and results in better health outcomes and a better quality of life for Ohio's low income residents.Without a Medicaid expansion, thousands of Ohioans will fall through the health coverage cracks, including about 4,000 residents enrolled in the Montgomery County Care health care program that provides a primary care medical home for adults earning up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.The pilot program was funded through the county's human services levy. But funding will dry up next year, leaving enrollees who are not eligible for Medicaid and do not have access to o迷你倉her health care in the lurch, Janet Grant, executive vice president of CareSource, told the subcommittee."The idea was to bridge that funding through until implementation of Medicaid expansion in 2014" as originally proposed in the ACA, said Grant, who's company administers the program. "So it's a program at risk, given some of the discussions happening here in Ohio. Obviously, that's a concern to use because those are individuals who are making use of affordable and effective health care today."State legislators who stripped the proposed Medicaid expansion from Kasich's two-year budget proposal argue that expanding Medicaid would be too costly to the state in the long run.While acknowledging the program has flaws, most of the HMOs presented examples of how improved access to care can drive down costs and improve the quality of health outcomes. One way to accomplish this is through Medicaid payment reform that rewards providers for quality outcomes rather than the volume of services they provide."Working with the (Kasich) administration, the Medicaid managed care plans are implementing innovative strategies to move payment models toward paying for quality outcomes versus volume of services," Dr. Craig Thiele, CareSource's chief medical officer, told the subcommittee. "Not only will this result in healthier Ohioans, administrative efficiencies an cost savings will ultimately accrue to Ohio's Medicaid program."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) Visit the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) at .daytondailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services自存倉
