Source: Bangkok Post, ThailandAug.儲存倉 12--The telecommunication regulator insists the digital-TV auction will happen as scheduled in October and is confident there will not be delays similar to the third-generation (3G) bidding.Col Natee Sukonrat, head of the broadcasting committee of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), said it may be delayed until November, depending on the process, but the beginning of the auction will proceed as scheduled.The confirmation was made to ease speculation that the auction will be postponed to December.Some potential bidders also complained the draft regulation on commercial channels has been frequently amended, confusing operators worried about running afoul of the rules.The draft regulation on commercial channels for the digital-TV auction was approved by the NBTC board last month and is awaiting an announcement in the Royal Gazette this week.Then the information memorandum (IM) for each channel category will be announced to interested applicants.The auction for each channel will be organised on separate days."At least 60% of Thais will be able to watch 30 digital TV channels, which are set for their first broadcast on Dec 5," said Col Natee.Network rental costs are being revised for the four network providers _ MCOT Plc, the Royal Thai Army, the Public Relations Department and Thai PBS _ and will be announced to the public by the month's end.The bidding invitation will cost 1 m迷你倉沙田llion baht, which should guarantee the upcoming auctions are not delayed, said Col Natee.Only bidders have the right to ask the court to issue an auction injunction.In 2010, Col Natee was a member of the National Telecommunications Commission and head of the 3G auction that year.The Administrative Court ruled in favour of CAT Telecom's call for an injunction to suspend the bidding of 3G licences.In a related development, standard-definition (SD) digital-TV channels can be upgraded to high definition (HD) once MPEG-5 (MP5) technology is ready. The MP5 video compression technology will increase the efficiency of frequency usage from the existing MP4 format.MP5 technology is projected to arrive over the next 2-5 years.The NBTC cannot estimate how many HD channels will be allocated, but the global trend is towards HDTV.To upgrade SD channels to HD, the NBTC will hold an auction for each category.A maximum of 24 bidders can take part in phase two of the digital-TV auction after receiving licences in phase one."Having 24 commercial digital TV channels in Thailand is appropriate, apart from community and public services, bringing the total to 48," said Col Natee.Bidders will be instructed on channel improvements through an IM for each category: news, SD variety and HD variety.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Bangkok Post (Bangkok, Thailand) Visit the Bangkok Post (Bangkok, Thailand) at .bangkokpost.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉價錢

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.儲存M.Aug. 11--RATON -- It was, oh, around 10 o'clock when we came across our third bear, a fat dark one that had been hanging around a garbage Dumpster and, startled by the car lights, dashed into the front yard of a house on Sixth Street.We had spent suppertime watching a bear eat cat food in a driveway and then watching that bear skedaddle when a bigger bear ambled over and commandeered the cat food dish.Our fourth, fifth and sixth bears came in quick succession. A bear was waddling down the sidewalk on Third Street. The biggest bear I have ever seen was sitting in front of a house on Park Avenue while a dog went nuts in a yard nearby. And in an alley downtown, a female bear hopped out of a trash can as we rolled up, froze for a few minutes and then popped back in to leisurely finish her garbage meal.We saw six bears in about three hours in the middle of residential neighborhoods, and, yawn, no one seemed terribly concerned. We were with New Mexico Game and Fish warden Clint Henson, who took out his flashlight a few times but never reached for a tranquilizer gun or his pistol.Even when the big bear stood up on his hind legs, stretching to at least 6 feet, Henson only marveled at its size. "That's a really big bear," he said.Neither were the townspeople of Raton out with their cellphones dialing 911 and demanding that someone arrive to rescue them from an encounter with the state mammal.Ratonian Colleen Grogan laughed when I told her that people in Albuquerque call the cops whenever they see a bear."We could call 911 till hell froze over," she said, "and they'd say, 'Really? And what else is new?' "In Albuquerque, a bear in a neighborhood attracts game wardens and TV crews, and it often ends badly for the bear.Raton has a different relationship with its 25 to 30 resident bears, and it goes like this: The bears hang out in trees or culverts or the nearby hills during the day, fast asleep. After dark, they come out and raid a good number of the more than 1,000 small garbage Dumpsters that dot the town, pulling out bags of trash, rooting through them and leaving a mess. In the morning, city sanitation workers and residents clean up the garbage, and when the sun sets, the cycle begins again.Game and Fish considers this a garbage problem and signed a contract with the city last year to provide $317,000 to replace all those tasty, accessible trash cans that sit all over town with 40 larger bear-proof Dumpsters.Raton City Manager Butch McGowen told me the city considers this a bear problem. He said he voided the trash container contract, because the city didn't want to spend money on two new trucks to empty those Dumpsters and inconvenience residents by making them drive their garbage to a centralized location.The city of about 6,800 people straddles Interstate 25 close to the Colorado border. But in terms of bears, it's the neighbor to the west that makes all the difference.The Vermejo Park Ranch, 920 square miles of open space owned by Ted Turner, is filled with bears. When young male bears go searching for territory, a few of them inevitably end up in the hills outside Raton, where they smell McDonald's and Sonic and Arby's and lots of ripe garbage cans and stop in for a meal.Raton is filled with leafy trees that make ideal daytime nesting spots and a web of drainage canals that allow bears to bypass traffic and move mostly unseen through town."A bear can be in the woods and then at McDonald's in like five minutes," Henson said.Also, the way the city organi新蒲崗迷你倉es its garbage collection -- small Dumpsters every few houses where people dump their fresh garbage every day with pickup once a week -- contributes to a happy bear life."It's such a great place for a bear to live," Henson said. "Bears here are, for the most part, incredibly docile. They're here for the pizza."None of this is to say there are not conflicts.In July, near a driveway where we watched the bears eating kibble left out for feral cats, a bear walked through a door left open at a home and ate a 5-year-old girl's birthday cake off the kitchen table while the family slept. That bear was trapped and killed.Henson has killed bears, too, mostly bears that have trespassed into a home or garage or refused to give ground when confronted. He hates it."Oh, it's horrible," Henson said. "My job is to protect wildlife."Henson told me he prefers to haze a misbehaving bear by shooting it with paint balls or, better yet, to just leave alone a bear that's not misbehaving.I asked him what he does when someone calls Game and Fish and reports a bear in a tree. He said he tells the caller to leave the bear alone and assures the person it will be gone tomorrow."If I walk up to a bear and it runs away from me," Henson said, "that's a good bear. If it sleeps during the day and eats out of Dumpsters at night, that's a good bear. If a bear's in the trash, that's a people problem."It seemed that everyone in Raton had a bear story. Raton is the place, after all, where a bear walked into the lobby of the Best Western and headed for the pool, where a bear that had been making nightly raids of the Sonic Dumpster climbed up a utility pole and got snagged by her radio collar, and where a bear that had apparently been dozing in a Dumpster on trash collection day was compacted with fatal results.My favorite bear anecdote was from the folks who know their neighborhood bear by the time each night he walks out of the ditch and raids the can on their corner: 9:45.So when I called Raton Mayor Bobby Ledoux to ask him about the trash problem, it wasn't surprising that he wanted to talk about bears instead."I have a minimum of four by my house every night," he said. "They're like the state patrol; they have their routes. They're way too friendly."McGowen, the city manager who canceled the trash bin contract, agreed that it's the trash that's attracting bears. He said he would like to continue talks with Game and Fish and devise a trash can solution that works for everyone. Meanwhile, he tells Ratonians to empty their trash bags into the Dumpsters so bears can get to their discarded food more easily."That way they can't grab a sack and scatter it all over," he said.Henson told me nothing in town will change -- not the midnight Dumpster raids or the garbage-strewn yards or the fatal consequences when habituation to people turns a good bear into a bad bear and a bad bear into a dead bear --until garbage collection changes and stored garbage moves out of residential neighborhoods."I am sick of killing bears that are in town because of our behavior," Henson said.UpFront is a daily front-page news and opinion column.

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.自存倉M.Aug. 10--For the third time in five years, computer chipmaker Intel failed to ensure that 60 percent of the new hires at its Rio Rancho plant are New Mexico residents.That means the company will have to spend $100,000 toward school-to-work programs, under an agreement it made with Sandoval County.Liz Shipley, Intel's government affairs manager in New Mexico, said as technology becomes more complex, the company is having more difficulty finding candidates locally and nationally who have the needed master's or doctoral degrees in science and engineering."It's not just in New Mexico; we're seeing a shortage throughout the country," Shipley told Sandoval County commissioners on Thursday.A report Shipley presented to the commission showed that about 26 percent -- or 19 of the 74 employees the company hired in 2012 -- were state residents.Intel currently has about 3,300 employees at its Rio Rancho plant. The 60 percent hiring goal was one of the conditions the county set in 2004 when it approved a $16 billion revenue bond for Intel.Intel missed the goal in 2011 and 2009 as well. In 2011, 35 percent of 349 new hires were from New Mexico. In 2009, three of eight new hires were state residents. In 2010, the company's New Mexico hires were right at the 60 percent mark.The company is committed to working with New Mexico schools to improve paths to technology and engineering careers, Intel spokeswoman and Education Manager Natasha Martell Jackson said Friday.The school-to-work programs that receive the $100,000 are designed to prepare students to enter the job market; money is distributed to public school systems in Rio Rancho迷你倉新蒲崗 Bernalillo, Cuba and Jemez Valley, based on enrollment figures, county spokesman Sidney Hill said.Rio Rancho used the $70,000 it received when Intel missed the target in 2012 to establish a course in "cybersecurity" at V. Sue Cleveland High School. About 30 students are enrolled in the inaugural class this year, school district spokeswoman Kim Vesely said.In 2012, the Rio Rancho plant was one of several Intel facilities to run a sixweek "boot camp," which gave university engineering students the opportunity to shadow Intel engineers at the plant. The program drew about 90 students from the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute and Central New Mexico Community College.Martell Jackson said the company is considering running the program again in Rio Rancho.Intel is also a partner in the Mission: Graduate project, a collaboration among United Way of Central New Mexico, UNM, CNM, Albuquerque Public Schools, Rio Rancho Public Schools, local business leaders and Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry. The project goal is to add 60,000 new associate, bachelor's and graduate degrees to central New Mexico by 2020."We know that for us to help current businesses grow and to attract new economic activity, we have to generate a more educated workforce," said CNM President Kathie Winograd, who co-chairs the project with Jim Hinton, president and CEO of Presbyterian Healthcare Services.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

【王秋燕╱綜合外電報導】蘋果（Apple）與三星電子（SAMSUNG）專利技術權大戰，迷你倉價錢蘋果再度獲勝。美國國際貿易委員會（International Trade Commission，ITC）針對蘋果控告三星專利侵權案做出判決，裁定三星侵犯蘋果多點觸控和耳機插孔偵測專利技術產品不准輸入美國銷售。 根據ITC聲明指出，部分三星手機和平板電腦產品侵犯了蘋果公司的多點觸控和耳機插孔檢測技術兩項專利，違反了《1930年美國關稅法》第337項條款。因此，美國國際貿易委員會針對上述侵犯兩項專利的產品，發布了排除令和禁止進口令。 審查期可在美銷售 而ITC認為，三星部分新手機繞過並未侵犯蘋果的多點觸控、耳機插孔專利技術，也未侵犯蘋果iPhone外觀設計專利。ITC上述裁定結果已經提交給美國總統歐巴馬（Barack Obama）和貿易代表審查，審查期間約60天，三星的手機在這個審查期間仍然可以輸入美國銷售，若審查期間內，歐巴馬政府無意推翻ITC裁定，ITC裁定將自動生效。蘋果尋求禁止銷售三星Nexus 4G、Replenish和Intercept手機，以及舊版GALAXY Tab平板迷你倉庫腦。ITC認為，三星GALAXY S4並未侵權。蘋果發言人于蓋（Kristin Huguet）說：「ITC裁定與先前加州、日本、南韓、德國與荷蘭法院判決一致，都表達出支持創新，禁止三星恣意複製蘋果產品。保護實際創新技術是專利系統應盡的責任。」 禁售多舊款非主流 儘管于蓋對於ITC認定，三星未侵犯蘋果iPhone外觀設計的裁定感到失望。三星發言人葉茲（Adam Yates）對於此裁定則回應說：「蘋果不再使用廣泛的設計專利技術以達到長方形、圓角設計外觀專利壟斷。智慧型手機產業應該不是聚焦在法院專利技術訴訟上，而是市場上的公平競爭。三星將持續推陳出新，我們已採取措施，以確保產品能持續於美國市場銷售。」路透報導指出，ITC裁定禁售的三星手機產品多為舊款，不是目前三星主流智慧型手機產品，也不在美國市場大量銷售。根據市調機構ComScore截至6月13日止的3個月美國前5大智慧型手機廠報告，蘋果目前是美國市場龍頭業者，三星居第2，蘋果市佔率將近40%。產業分析師認為，蘋果對三星專利訴訟連續勝利，一旦政治介入提高，或許將使南韓政府提出抗議，而這對於三星產品市佔率、未來獲利影響程度仍待觀察。儲存

Source: The Roanoke Times, Va.self storageAug. 10--Just about the first thing Roanoke code compliance inspector Brad Wilson does when he gets into his maroon city Chevy -- "it's been in the shop seven times already this year" -- is roll down the windows."I like to hear things. If there's a jackhammer going, I can hear it, drive around and make sure they've got their permits, that everything's OK," Wilson said. "I even keep the windows down in the winter."He's one of Roanoke's 15-strong team of inspectors and supervisors -- just this week finally back up to full strength -- who enforce the laws that say buildings must be maintained so that they are safe to be in and that property has to be free of the junked cars, weeds and garbage that can shelter animal pests and disease.Wilson's turf is Hurt Park and a stretch of northwest Roanoke between Fifth and 18th streets, and Moorman and Shenandoah avenues. He spends several hours a day cruising the area's streets and alleys, checking out some 1,100 homes, businesses and vacant lots. He figures he hits every street and alley once every week to 10 days, and issues an average of about 20 notices of violation a week -- more in the summer, when people sometimes let the grass go too long without cutting.He's strict -- but you wouldn't guess it by the way one wheelchair-bound lady on 13th street in Hurt Park teases him about not working hard. A few days later, she was on the phone to say her efforts to ask a neighbor to clear a bush blocking the alleyway were fruitless. I know you'll get on it, she told him.Code enforcement is central to the city's efforts to make sure Roanoke is a safe and pleasant place to live and work, City Manager Chris Morrill said."They're the problem-solvers in the neighborhoods. They're dealing with the tough properties, the tough cases," Morrill said. Sometimes that means citations or taking people to court, sometimes it's simply steering people to the help they need.For many Roanoke property-owners, code enforcement inspectors are more of a pain in the neck."There's a car someone's working on, it's got a flat. They're out there cruising around and see it, they write the landlord a nasty letter and issue a citation. Is that the best use of time? ... It's insane, the petty detail they get into," said Andy Stowasser, president of Real Estate Investors of Virginia, which complains that code enforcement inspectors come down harder on landlords than on people who own their homes.Some Roanokers want the inspectors to be even more aggressive."I moved back to Roanoke in '96. The very first issue I heard from people over neighborhood problems was code enforcement, or the lack thereof. Seventeen years later it remains the number one, most often spoken issue at neighborhood watch meeting and neighborhood associations," said Southeast community activist E. Duane Howard."Just weeks ago a house on Montrose had growth 6 to 7 feet tall," he said. "It was like making a federal case to the city to get this eyesore cut. They said if it happened again they would notify the owner."The city's inspectors issued about 6,400 notices of violations last year. Some are in response to complaints, many because of problems they see as they patrol their areas or make their scheduled inspections of rented houses and apartments.Sometimes, when they check on a problem, a simple conversation with the property owner gets action without a need to write up a notice of violation. Sometimes, when a notice gets no action, they get a summons to bring the property owner to court.On one recent summer afternoon, Wilson focused on "re-checks" -- follow-ups on notices he had issued over the past few weeks.One of his first stops was to see if the out-of-state owner of a house at 14th and Moorman had made any progress clearing away a huge tree toppled by an intense storm nearly three weeks before. A trailer full of firewood and 10 feet of now-clear sidewalk were good signs, though there was still plenty of work to do."Yeah, he started there," a man called from a few feet away."Did he get those things fixed up in there," Wilson replied, nodding at the duplex house on the lot, which the out-of-state owner rents out. "It needed some cleaning up.""Yeah, it's real nice," the man said. "I've moved in."Across 14th, not far from where Wilson parked his Chevy, there's a utility pole with a wire wrapped tightly around it and taped into place. Wilson did that a few days earlier, when a neighbor pointed to the wire lying across the sidewalk. It caught her eye when some kids nearly rode their bikes into it.It can be easy to miss things -- which is why Wilson drives slowly, keeps his windows down, and stops a lot.Around the corner, down the alley for a couple of blocks, Wilson spots Angel Rodas, working on a house in the 1600 block of Moorman. Rodas, who rents the place, is helping the owner fix it up -- including dealing with citations for overgrown vines on迷你倉the back fence and needed repairs to the outside walls, trim and windows."Cleaning up this fence was bad," Rodas said. "I didn't see the poison ivy."He had such a severe case, he had to go to the hospital, he added."Whoa," Wilson said. "You gotta watch for that. Spray maybe. You know, it's got those three leaves."Wilson walked down the alley while Rodas followed on the other side of the fence, seeing if he could point some out since Rodas wasn't sure he knew what the plant looked like. He spotted some -- right by the tomato patch Rodas planted.Wilson said the back windows on the house look new, and asked what Rodas planned to do about the foam caulking that has bubbled out between the window frame and the wall. Both agree it looks bad."I'm gonna have to cut it away," Rodas said."Maybe a trim board?" Wilson hinted.Rodas nodded.He's going to get going on the back siding in a couple of days, now that he has installed a proper facia and soffit under the roof, Rodas continued. There was no point tearing off the gray, waterstained siding below until he stopped the steady leak of water that risked rotting the structure beneath."Going good," Wilson said. "It's going to a real nice place to live."Nobody likes getting a notice, and many bristle at a code compliance inspector's less formal suggestion that they do something about an overgrown lot or a junk car in the yard. Wilson said the point, though, is to start a conversation about how to fix a problem.Turning the Chevy up 12th street, Wilson spotted the Rev. Cecil Scott and Edward Jones on the side steps of Truevine Church of Christ, peering at a length of insulated wire."We're not working, just trying to figure out if this was after 1985," Jones quickly said.Wilson had come by a few days before to remind them that they needed a building permit for the repair work after one of July's storms blew off a chunk of roof. Knowing if the rear part of the church was built after then will save the hassle of getting an asbestos report to get a permit."I know you're working on the permit," Wilson said. "I know you, you know me, don't worry about it. I don't have a problem."Jones tells him the church is doing a fundraiser, selling donuts, to finance the repairs.Wilson said if they need to stretch their money they should get in touch with volunteer groups Rebuilding Together or World Changers, for help with the repairs.Heading back to his Chevy to fetch some information about those groups, he spots the front porch sagging next door, then sees how, where it separated from front wall, the wood beam at the bottom of the front wall has been almost completely eaten away by termites.It's a serious problem -- basically there's no way to tell what's holding the wall up any more. Wilson puts some caution tape up and gets started on a condemnation notice.Back on patrol, he turns down Gilmer Street, checking on a house in the 1300 block that he condemned as unfit to live in a month ago, after checking the tenants' complaint that several inches of standing water in the basement wasn't draining. The thick layer of mud in the basement and mildew upstairs pointed to a continuing problem -- one that could mean a chance of rot in the house's wood frame.Wilson's unhappy to see no signs that the building owner has done any work yet. It's another place he'll have to keep an eye on.Just like a house in the 700 block of Loudon that's in foreclosure. Wilson had to condemn it a few months ago -- when nothing happened, he had a contractor in to shore up the collapsing rear foundation. He regularly checks on the boarded-up houses in his territory, to make sure nobody's breaking in and using them to sleep in or as a base to deal drugs.Rodney Randolph, who's been busy cutting the grass at his late father's home two houses down, stepped over to complain about how the foreclosed place's front hedge is blocking the sidewalk.Wilson nodded. There's not much he can do, since the foreclosure is in process and the bank hasn't formally taken possession."I'm doing my yard, and my neighbor's and then we've got this," Randolph grumbled. "Got groundhogs and skunks living in there. I'm sick of skunks."Back around Memorial Day, he said, there were a bunch of people hanging around the back, maybe even getting inside. He was pretty sure they were up to no good.Wilson -- like many in city hall -- is a believer in the broken windows school of public safety, the idea that neighborhoods that are looked after, even in smaller matters like overgrown yards and junked cars, tend to discourage criminals from trying their luck.He's trying to figure out what to do about the hedges."Tell you what," he said. "If I can't get someone to do 'em, I'll come out on the weekend and do 'em myself.""I'll help," Randolph said.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Roanoke Times (Roanoke, Va.)

Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahAug.迷你倉 10--A handful of church youths and their leaders last week were the benefactors of $7,000 raised in April, when members of another church stepped up to help them with a yard sale.They used part of the money to serve Native Americans in Wind River, Wyo.The youths and leaders, mostly from Clearfield Community Church, which had experienced a fire last spring just before its annual yard sale, said they were grateful for the experience the resulting event funded.Members of several stakes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at that time not only donated untold numbers of items for the sale, but they also held the event on their property and helped man the event."We didn't use the entire $7,000 on this one trip," said Clearfield Community Church missions leader Laura Phillips.The Sunset resident said the money also will send youths from the church to youth camp and will allow the young people to do other service projects down the road.Last week's trip was the first time the group had visited a 2.2 million-acre Wyoming reservation with two tribes, the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho, that are served annually by YouthWorks, which brings in Christian youth groups each week from around the country to help the residents there."They organize different construction projects," Phillips said. "Normally, the people would have to pay someone to do it."Phillips said the trip also resulted in positive changes for the youths who attended."There is a bond that is created when people are able to come together in acceptance and love," Phillips said. "It not only affects you, but it affects everyone with whom you come into contact."Five youths and three adults from the Clearfield church attended.Alongside them were two youths and one adult leader from First Baptist Church/New Beginnings Christian Church in Ogden.The group also held devotionals and worship services every night with all the youths wh文件倉 were there at that time, including two groups from Minnesota and one from Colorado.They also had time to meet together in their small group, much as a family.Phillips said this small-group time was important in the growth of those who attended."It was amazing how open the kids were to new experiences," she said. "They were able to trust and share with one another."She said people in general want to know that they are not alone in what they are going through."For the kids to be able to open up to one another and relate to one another, it allowed the group see that everyone fights their own battles and everyone has things in life that they struggle with."She said once the members of the group were open to relating to other people, they were able to make connections with others.Nineteen-year-old Paul Rosales, of Clearfield, said he will be forever changed by the experience and listed participants from other areas with whom he quickly became close friends and with whom he is still communicating."It was a spiritual experience I wish everybody could have," he said. "You get closer to God when you serve others."He said the service benefited the participants as much as it did those they served."I thought I was there just to do community service," he said. "I ended up realizing I was broken and I needed to devote my life to God."And he said he saw others grow, too."There was this girl there that thought she was unworthy of God's forgiveness," Rosales said. "By the end of the week, her whole thought process was turned around.""A big goal of the week was to show each person that they are important," Phillips said."They are special not only to leaders and friends but to God."Everyone, no matter their background, is able to be perceived by God. That message itself is very empowering."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah) Visit the Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah) at .standard.net Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉

廣東省衛生廳昨晚確診惠州市51 歲女病人陳冬祝感染H7N9 禽流感，文件倉情�危重，仍於深切治療部留醫。新華社深夜引述衛生廳專家組稱，經研判個案後，認為廣東省內仍有人感染H7N9 禽流感散發風險，不排除有限人傳人的可能。昨日港府的應變工作未有顯著加強，衛生署在口岸未見加派人手防控，包括重點抽查來自惠州的乘客；惠州至香港直通巴士亦沒為乘客探熱或派口罩。台灣昨對廣東省列為黃色警示區，提醒旅客注意安全。明報記者廣州—惠州—香港聯線報道 議員專家倡停輸疫區活雞 立法會議員郭家麒醫生稱，於入境大堂檢測旅客體溫屬例行工作，因應惠州個案確診，敦促衛生署將口岸檢測體溫收窄至惠州來港旅客，他與港大禽流感權威管軼教授認為，食環署應停止疫區輸港活雞。食環署表示，爆出H7N9 的博羅橫河鎮13 公里範圍無供港註冊雞場，衛生署則稱，所有口岸入境大堂都有紅外線體溫熱像儀，若發現有旅客發燒，檢疫人員會覆檢體溫，並增派人手，加強對入境旅客抽檢。 衛署：會增人手加強抽檢 中央社報道，台灣陸委會昨深夜將廣東省列入黃色旅遊警示區，提醒民眾注意旅遊安全及考量是否前往；若必要前往，應加強自我健康照護。 廣東省疾病中心流行病防治研究所長何劍鋒昨在惠州會見記者，女病人陳冬祝仍在廣州醫科大學附屬第一醫院呼吸病研究所治療。陳婦上月27 日感到不適，曾到當地診所求醫，診斷為感冒，其後一直未癒，31 日送往惠州市中心人民醫院，病人樣本對H7N9 呈陽性反應，化驗報告已交中國疾控中心覆核。陳婦是於前晚轉送廣州，由呼吸科專家鍾南山主持會診。 涉事攤檔家禽撲殺病源未明 與陳婦有密切接觸的96 人，其中54 名已解除醫學觀察，42 名仍須繼續觀察。陳婦兒子前晚一度發燒，現已退燒，留院觀察。何劍鋒稱，初診顯示陳婦兒子樣本對H7N9 呈陰性，正進行第二次化驗，其餘人士均無流感症狀，研究所仍觀察其中42 人。 事發後，當局已即場撲殺陳婦攤檔的78 隻家禽，抽樣檢查該市場其他攤檔78個雞、鴨、鵝血清和排泄物樣本，以及化驗25 個環境樣本，未有發現H7 亞型禽流感病毒。現場消息稱，陳婦店的雞隻來自東莞和增城，病毒源頭仍未明朗。 惠州入境者口岸未存倉重點抽查 中新社昨晚7 時半報道該H7N9 個案確診消息，但衛生署昨整天未見顯著加強口岸防控措施。記者昨早上8 時在旺角乘搭往惠州的直通巴，職員表示對惠州禽流感個案不知情，公司亦無指示要求加強防範，包括為乘客探熱或派口罩。沙頭角口岸早上有多輛往來惠州香港的直通巴上落，約50 名乘客包括兒童無一戴口罩。 在沙頭角及羅湖口岸，工作人員如常監視紅外線體溫探測器，但未見有額外人手。記者昨晚8 時乘惠州來港直通巴抵達落馬洲口岸，亦未見入境處人員向返港乘客加強查問，只見日常配置的體溫探測機運作。 港大禽流感權威管軼教授表示，內地很多地方，包括北京及河北省廊坊在6 月及7 月都有個案，有關方面應工在做研究及調查，了解夏季期間禽流感個案數字，找尋病毒源頭，然後再制訂防控政策。食環署未有回覆會否對疫區供港活雞採取相應措施。 香港邊境 內地傳媒昨晚7 時半公布惠州陳姓女病人確診H7N9 禽流感，本報記者昨晚8 時從惠州搭直通巴經深圳灣口岸入境，邊境有例行體溫檢測櫃位，但未見加派人手或抽查由惠州抵港乘客。（余俊亮攝） 內地邊境 目前中港兩地邊境主要用紅外線體溫探測器，就記者所見，香港入境處監測較為嚴格，有七八名工作人員負責監測過境旅客體溫。而在內地邊境（圖）一方，昨上午10 至12 時只有1人監視紅外線探測器，且該人員不時低頭看報及離開櫃�。（鄧宗弘攝） 徒手宰雞 鄰近病人雞檔所在街市的惠州三島批發市場昨日如常營業，但現場人士並無因為鄰近出現H7N9 感染個案而提高防疫意識。不少工人屠宰家禽時，不但無穿防護衣物，甚至手套口罩也沒有，就地徒手宰雞及拔雞毛，市場遍地雞毛，衛生情�欠佳。 患者丈夫 病者丈夫徐錦文（圖）昨兩度探望妻子，他說要籌3 萬元醫藥費醫治妻子，對此感無奈。他獲醫院安排下午5 時探望，較其他重症病人晚兩小時，估計是為避免繁忙時間探病，免造成混亂。（楊德銘攝） 市場消毒 內地部門昨派出人員，到確診H7N9 禽流感女病人陳冬祝的家禽檔所在地惠州市博羅縣墟鎮新市場消毒，身穿防護衣物的人員於女病人的店外噴消毒藥水。有街坊稱，當局並未進入店內消毒，只以高壓水炮清洗大門。（余俊亮攝）自存倉
