遊客加＄20 換掉不受歡迎千元紙幣
【本報訊】千元偽鈔陰霾令人人很想擁有的「金牛」，儲存頓時變成不受歡迎的貨幣。有內地旅客使用金牛時處處碰壁，吃飯和購物時商店均拒收。有遊客要多付20元手續費予找換店，才能將�豐銀行的金牛兌換成細面額紙幣。昨日適逢聖誕假後銀行首個工作天，部份手持中銀和�豐千元大鈔的市民無懼寒風，一早到銀行換掉手上的金牛。電話零售收假鈔高危「假金牛」引發本港商戶恐慌，記者昨以顧客身份到旺角的商店，大部份連鎖店拒收03年版的中銀、�豐金牛。周大福、衛訊、時間廊、3電訊、中國聯通、Levi's和蘇寧鐳射等商店全部向03版金牛說不。不過，職員誤以為03年版本的金牛僅指03年發行紙幣，其實03年版防偽特徵的金牛，在03、05、06、07、08年都有發行。豐澤、PCCW、百老迷你倉則願意照收。旺角先達廣場G-World Mobile老闆劉志剛指，電話零售是收假鈔的高危一族，店舖每日有過百萬元現金流通，七成是金牛，昨日起停收03年版本中銀及�豐銀行金牛，客人要改用信用卡或易辦事付款。偽鈔風暴令遊客在消費時遇上阻礙，內地遊客黃先生表示，在餐廳吃飯消費數十元，結賬時收銀員拒收千元鈔票。長者銀行排隊等換鈔另一遊客梁先生手持兩張�豐03年的金牛，他最終寧願多付20元手續費，在兌換店將金牛兌換成細面額紙幣。部份港人亦擔心持有偽鈔，昨晨冒�嚴寒等待銀行開門，希望盡早向職員查證鈔票真偽。朱婆婆家中存放16張中銀千元大鈔近兩年，將六張「金牛」換成500元「大牛」，「我聽見咁多假銀紙好得人驚，所以拎�換，以防萬一，�500蚊（較）穩陣」。self storage

Local hero and Louisville star Teddy Bridgewater will lead the Cardinal against the Miami Hurricanes in their season finale
Source: The Miami HeraldDec.存倉 27--ORLANDO -- Teddy Bridgewater once dreamed of donning the green and orange and playing for his hometown Hurricanes.Now, garbed in Louisville Cardinal red, he dreams of threading touchdowns through Miami's defense Saturday in the Russell Athletic Bowl -- a game many believe will be the last of his college career."My mom always tells me, 'Blessings are never denied, they're just delayed,''' said Bridgewater, 21, a junior who earned his degree after only three years and is projected by NFL analysts as the nation's No. 1 quarterback should he enter the upcoming draft. "Everyone has their time, and their time will come.''The friendly, upbeat hometown kid said he will decide whether to enter the NFL Draft after the bowl game. But he can't wait to face his friends on the Hurricanes (9-3), playing in their first bowl game in three years. He competed with several of them in Optimist youth sports as a youngster at Bunche Park, then as a Northwestern High star initially committed to the Canes before coach Randy Shannon was fired in 2010."What a way to finish the season,'' said Bridgewater, whose Cardinals (11-1), now ranked 18th, defeated Florida in the Sugar Bowl to end last season.At least two dozen Cardinals, many of them key players, are from South Florida."It definitely makes it more exciting,'' said UM cornerback Tracy Howard, who played at Miramar High and has known Bridgewater for several years. "Of course there's going to be trash-talking. There's going to be a lot of stuff.''Nationally heralded running back Duke Johnson, a Hurricane and good friend of Bridgewater's who fractured his ankle and will be on the sideline watching, said the familiarity "makes it a lot more fun'' because of the high school connections. "Now we get a chance to do it at the next level on a big stage."That's where we like to play our best games, on the big stage when the cameras are on. I expect a good game from both teams."Be assured that the city -- and country -- will be watching, and that some South Floridians who are normally Hurricanes fans might be a touch conflicted as they settle on their couches for the 6:45 p.m. kickoff at Citrus Bowl Stadium."A lot of people who are Miami fans are also Teddy Bridgewater fans," Bridgewater said in an interview with the Miami Herald. "When I was just home recently people came up to me and mentioned that, 'Hey, Miami is my team, but I'm going to root for Louisville because you're on that team.' ''Miamian Billy Rolle, the new Coral Reef coach who coached Bridgewater at Northwestern, is one of them."I've got to go with 'The General' or 'The Professor' or 'The Surgeon,' Rolle said of Bridgewater, laughing. "But mostly he's just plain old 'Bear,' as in Teddy Bear."All these good things couldn't happen to a better kid.''Bridgewater (9,370 passing yards and 69 touchdowns in three seasons) has led the 18th-ranked Cardinals to an 11-1 record, their only loss by three points to UCF. He is second in the nation in completion percentage, connecting on 70 percent of his passes, and has thrown a mere four interceptions in his 382 attempts this season.His poise and intelligence and savvy on the football field dazzle NFL types and frustrate opponents, as with his spectacular 14-yard run -- the last several yards going backward -- on fourth down to sustain a drive toward the end of the Cards' last game at Cincinnati, an overtime victory. Soon after the run, Bridgewater broke through the grasp of charging defenders to heave an impossibly difficult, almost sidearm-like throw to teammate Damian Copeland for the touchdown."Skill wise and temperament wise Bridgewater is ready to play at the NFL level," said ESPN commentator Rod Gilmore, wor儲存ing Saturday's broadcast. "Something that stands out about him that people don't talk about very much is that he can play very well when things aren't perfect. When the weather is really bad he's still very effective. When he's hurt he still plays well. When guys run the wrong route or there's pressure, he doesn't panic.''Bridgewater has lived through pressure far scarier than a 300-pound lineman charging him head on. When Teddy was 14, his mother, Rose Murphy, broke the news to Teddy and his three older siblings that she had breast cancer.Bridgewater was devastated and contemplated quitting sports to get a job to help his mother, a former Miami-Dade Schools bus driver and now field operations specialist. She underwent lumpectomy surgery and still attended every game during her chemotherapy treatments."He put something on Facebook about his mom losing her hair,'' Murphy said, "and it hit me like a ton of bricks. All I kept thinking was, 'I have to find a way to beat this.' ''Now in remission, Murphy each week is saluted Army-style in the stands by her 6-3, 207-pound baby."In the cycle of life, people lose loved ones,'' Bridgewater said. "I just cherish my mom because of everything she's been through and the way she raised me. Most people should be thankful to still have their mother. I know I am."Murphy, 51, finds it ironic that when he was in third grade, Teddy was riding home from a practice and broke the silence by saying, "Mom, you know what? When I go to the pros I'm going to buy you a pink Escalade.''She now drives Teddy's old 2001 white Crown Victoria, but never forgot his words -- though not because of the Escalade part."Pink represents breast cancer,'' she said. "I've realized what we both went through was bigger than us.''Bridgewater's closest friend from Northwestern High is also Louisville's third-leading receiver, Eli Rogers. The two committed together to Miami -- and then decommited together. Rogers' mother has had AIDS for several years, and Bridgewater and his mother have been like family."I came here to become a better man, and with Teddy's help, I have,'' Rogers said. "He's a positive, humble guy, and he's taught me to be humble."Football is like paradise to us. When we step on the field, we don't worry about anything.''Bridgewater, who said he will stick to his word and whip up a pink Escalade for mom when he turns pro, insists he made the right choice in attending Louisville. If he leaves after Saturday, he'll walk away with his degree in sports administration and a future worth millions.What happened with Miami?"I just didn't go to Miami because of what was going on at the time, the way the program was going downhill and the firing of Randy Shannon,'' he said. "That was it."I'm very proud of graduating. It's a huge accomplishment, a huge milestone because I'm the first in my family to do it."He said he respects Miami and isn't upset at the fans who berated him on social media when he changed his commitment. "That's what fans do," he said. "They voice their opinion and I love that kind of stuff. It doesn't get to me.''He wants others from his neighborhood in Bunche Park to know they can make it out, too."We've seen guys grow up and fall victim to the environment we lived in,'' he said. "I want to be an outlet not only to the generation behind me but to people older. It's never too late. God has a plan for all of us.''What would he like others to say about him after he leaves Louisville?"He was a guy who was a class act,'' Bridgewater said. "I want to be known as the best athlete to ever come through this program.''Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
