Montana's online health insurance marketplace stumbles on 1st day
Source: The Montana Standard, ButteOct.迷利倉 01--HELENA -- The first day of shopping for health insurance on Montana's Affordable Care Act marketplace was one of frustration for potential users Tuesday, as the online shopping site didn't work properly.Shoppers trying to create an account on .healthcare.gov ran into delays, with messages of "Please wait," and usually couldn't get past the initial registration steps to create an account and start shopping for subsidized policies.Health insurers selling policies on the Internet marketplace and state Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen said the site apparently crashed because of heavy traffic, and urged Montanans to be patient."I'm going to continue to say what I've been saying at public meetings around the state (within the last week) -- that I think we all expected there will be glitches," Lindeen said.Lindeen said consumers can still study up on the available policies, and should "hang back for a couple of days" and then perhaps revisit the site to attempt to sign up and shop.John Doran, director of strategic marketing services for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana, said the company is advising consumers that there's plenty of time to sign up for policies.Policies on the marketplace don't become effective until Jan. 1 anyway, he said, and consumers have until Dec. 15 to buy a policy starting that date and until March 31 to get a policy that meets the federal mandate to have health insurance by 2014."We continue to remind customers that they have until next year, and that we'll be here to help them throughout the process, from Oct. 1 until the final deadline," Doran said.The Internet marketplace is a linchpin of the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 law that aims to expand health coverage to the millions of Americans without it.The law requires nearly all Americans to have or buy health insurance by 2014 and the marketplace offers subsidized policies to most people earning between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level.Marketplaces exist in each state and Tuesday was their opening day -- but problems were reported across the country, as interest in the marketplaces exceeded expectations, health and insurance officials said.The federal government constructed and is operating the Montana marketplace, after the 2011 Montana Legislature, controlled by Republicans, refused to authorize 自存倉tate construction of the site.Lindeen, a Democrat, said she was able to get onto the site early Tuesday morning and sign in. But later in the morning and throughout the day, the site wasn't working.Consumers often were met initially with a message that said "Please wait. We have a lot of visitors on our site right now and we're working to make your experience better."After a wait of 10 minutes or more, the site allowed users to begin the registration process, but faltered when it required users to answer security questions that would not appear.Lindeen, who said she communicated with fellow insurance commissioners throughout the day, said it appeared that most of the problems occurred in states where the federal government was operating the marketplace.U.S. Senate Republicans' press office released news reports Tuesday showing widespread problems with the state-based marketplaces, and a spokesman for the state Republican Party said Obamacare should be replaced with a "free-market alternative that lets Montanans make their own choices about buying health care, rather than trying to push people to buy in a government-approved manner.""Senator (Max) Baucus said that the implementation of Obamacare could be a train wreck, and he was right," said Bowen Greenwood, executive director of the state GOP. "Obamacare doesn't help Montanans."Insurers and Lindeen, however, said the rush of customers that crashed the system show there's a high interest in the marketplace and what it has to offer."I think it tells you that people are desperate for good (health) insurance," said Lindeen. She noted that she was met by packed houses at public meetings she conducted last week across the state, to explain the marketplaces and Obamacare.Jerry Dworak, CEO of the new Montana Health Co-op, which is selling policies on the marketplace, said the company was besieged with callers and emails Tuesday asking about its policies and the marketplace. Some people went ahead and bought policies, without subsidies, which are available only if you buy through the online marketplace, he said."'I've never seen anything like it out there in my life," he said. "It's like a campaign commercial for the Democratic Party."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Montana Standard (Butte, Mont.)

節儉國慶 花壇瘦身 晚會縮減
香港文匯報訊 (記者 馬靜 北京報道) 天安門廣場花壇「瘦身」、各地國慶慶典和晚會大幅壓縮、高端會務宴請遇冷……在中央狠剎奢靡之風、要求厲行節約的大背景下，迷你倉最平全國各地掀起「節儉風」。去年絹花循環再用 歷年國慶，「花團錦簇」、「歌舞焰火」都是各地烘托節日氣氛的方式。然而，今年從北京到全國各地，國慶花壇普遍造型「瘦身」。與往年相比，今年的天安門國慶花壇主打節儉風，在「祝福祖國」大型主花籃的牡丹花中，使用了去年曾經用過的絹花花瓣，往年廣場東西側路塑造的沿街花卉景觀，今年全部取消，長安街兩側的擺花量均有所縮減。 和北京一樣，今年國慶花壇的「瘦身」現象延伸到上海、深圳、濟南、武漢、合肥、鄭州等眾多城市，各地不再強調國慶期間的「花團錦簇」。不過，各地花壇更為環保節約的用料、更為精巧合理的設計，讓城市街頭依然能夠感受到節日的喜慶氣氛。 除了花壇縮水，今年國慶，各地往年熱鬧的國慶慶典、晚會也有所壓縮。在今年8月中央五部門發出《關於制止豪華鋪張、提倡節儉辦晚會的通知》後，往年各大衛視「廝殺比拚」的中秋晚會已經儲存幅減少，而在國慶期間，江蘇衛視、北京衛視、深圳衛視等多家電視台亦表示，今年國慶節期間，各台都不再播出大型晚會，取而代之的是日常節目和特別節目。高檔宴席降六成 往年國慶期間，各地繁多的會議慶典往往潛藏著公款吃喝等現象，今年國慶前夕，中央已經擺出了對公款送禮、公款吃喝的嚴打態勢。 在9月28日，中紀委再次通報八起違反中央八項規定的典型問題，通報同時要求，「國慶將至，要堅決剎住公款送禮、公款吃喝、公款旅遊和奢侈浪費等不正之風。」禁令的效果已經反映在高端禮品和高檔餐飲市場。往年生意火爆的國慶會務、宴席市場也在降溫，高中檔酒店的會議和宴會預定狀況不理想。 大連市一位餐飲業內人士稱，今年「十一」黃金周的包間預訂量較往年略有下降，而且今年十一黃金周的婚宴預訂率較往年也有減少。吉林長春中秋、國慶晚宴市場，尤其是中高檔酒店這方面的預訂情況也有點冷清。在安徽馬鞍山，受經濟大環境及中央「節儉令」等因素影響，商務宴請預定比去年同期減少了大約60%左右。北京、江蘇、浙江、山東、福建等多地也出現宴席市場國慶遇冷的現象。mini storage

VERO BEACH, Fla.儲存, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network** in Sebastian and Vero Beach, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. With this launch, AT&T now offers 4G LTE in all three counties on the Treasure Coast. AT&T launched 4G LTE in parts of Martin and St. Lucie counties in April 2013.(Logo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before. -- Reliability. AT&T not only has the nation's fastest 4G LTE network, but now also has the most reliable 4G LTE network. According to independent third-party data, AT&T has the highest success rate for delivering mobile content across nationwide 4G LTE networks. -- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets. -- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine. -- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience."We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network on the Treasure Coast responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, reliably, on the best devices," said Carlos Blanco-Sposito, VP/GM, South Florida AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.AT&T's 4G NetworkThis launch is part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. Through this investment, AT&T is supporting its customers' growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud-based services. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to add more than 10,000 macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as well as deploy more than 40,000 small cells and add more than 1,000 Distributed Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless network.AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in a nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and a consistent user experience. The great performance of AT&T's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network continues to be validated by independent third-party testing:-- Our 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHive's most recent 20-market speed tests -- the second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked first overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked AT&T's as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.**** -- And AT&T was named America's fastest 4G LTE network in PC Magazine's 2013 Fastest Mobile Networks 30-market study -- and also swept the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and Southwest.*****Additionally, the AT&T wireless network was recently ranked 1(st) in a tie in Port St. Lucie by RootMetrics((R)), an independent research and testing organization. AT&T was named the RootMetrics RootScore((R)) Combined Award winner, sharing the award for its overall call, text anmini storage data performance.******Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike some competitors, where smartphone customers may fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage."Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience, and they'll be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network," said AT&T Florida President Marshall Criser,lll. "As part of the South Florida community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is another way we're accomplishing that."AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network******* including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into its wireless and wireline networks across the country. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."About AT&TAT&T Inc. is a premier communications holding company and one of the most honored companies in the world.

受大陸旅遊法短期衝擊
【本報記者楊淑芬高雄報導】市府觀光局面對10月1日正式上路的大陸「旅遊法」，mini storage短期內團客市場多少會受影響，但來台自由行及優質旅遊團陸客則較不受影響。 觀光局長許傳盛表示，針對自由行陸客，高雄市不但早已結合觀光業界提供多項優惠方案外，也透過各種機會促銷，更與大陸旅遊局合作，旅客互送，市場共拓，推動優質旅遊。 大陸「旅遊法」所造成的短期衝擊，影響團客市場送客數量，但來台自由行迷你倉客則不受影響，長遠來看，可以改善削價競爭、低價攬客、零團費及不合理的購物現象，對於陸客權益、市場秩序都有保障，對於兩岸的旅遊品質是提升的，其精神與目前交通部觀光局實施的優質團是一致的。 局長許傳盛指出，自98年開放陸客自由行後，該局除了積極爭取兩岸城市航班航點、接待兩岸媒體來高踩線行銷高雄、參加兩岸國際性旅展等，也推出旅遊相關資訊APP及自由行套裝遊程建議與多項優惠方案。 文件倉
