  • 樂視超級電視再“攪局”

本報記者 陳 靜本報訊 記者陳靜報道:一直以低價策略力推互聯網電視的樂視TV再次亮出“殺手�”。樂視TV日前發佈了最新的 70 英寸超級電視 Max70,售價為8999元。這是國內70英寸智能電視售價首次跌破萬元大關。此次新產品發佈,是樂視TV繼40 英寸、60英寸、50英寸後新推出的一款新產品。超級電視Max70支持3D功能和1080P高清。從目前各大電商平台的報價來看,主流70英寸超大屏幕智能電視售價普遍超過1.倉4萬元。在推出新品的同時,樂視TV還對原有的60英寸智能電視機降價2000元。樂視同時還發佈了全球首款全體感智能電視UI系統,並將其命名為“泰迪”,樂視TV方面表示,該系統在體感操控、視覺設計、人性化交互、核心應用等方面有了重大改進。樂視TV高級副總裁彭鋼告訴記者,自 2013 年年初,樂視盒子 C1 開售以來,樂視TV智能終端總銷量已突破120 萬台,其中超級電視銷量30萬台左右,遠超預期。按照24小時迷你倉前樂視網董事長兼CEO賈躍亭的說法,只要樂視終端銷量達到百萬量級,就可以凸顯很大的廣告價值。隨著“平台+內容+終端+應用”的樂視生態系統的業務鏈條的�動,在低價策略壓縮硬件盈利空間的前提下,付費內容和廣告收入能否形成成熟的商業模式,將直接決定超級電視的未來。對於傳統電視企業來講,目前受限于出貨量,盡管樂視超級電視和包括百度愛奇藝、阿里巴巴等互聯網廠商推出的低價互聯網電視,對電視行業造成的影響已開始顯現,但影響範圍主要還限于深度互聯網用戶。來自市場研究機構奧維咨詢的數據顯示,2013年我國彩電市場內銷零售總量為4781萬台,同比增長13%;內銷總額1722億元,同比增長17%。其中,液晶電視銷量4554萬台,同比增長16%;液晶電視銷售額1634億元,同比增長21%。樂視超級電視30萬台的銷售量在其中只能算是九牛一毛,要想深度撬動電視行業鏈條,形成規模性的生態系統和新的用戶消費習慣,還要看超級電視之後的量產情況。迷你倉旺角

  • 遊搜好行:一分鐘賞一件館藏 逛足15年

儲存倉 數歷史上真正的Big Spender,法國路易十四公認第一,俄國沙皇凱薩琳大帝必居第二,自1764年起她開始從歐洲買入名畫和雕塑置入聖彼得堡冬宮,造就隱士廬博物館(The State Hermitage Museum)。今年正值立館250周年,去年底首間獲官方認可的冬宮酒店Hermitage Hotel趕得及周年紀念開幕,想做沙皇,有錢入酒店過一晚夜可以,但想逛盡博物館,有錢之外還要有時間,因為至今館藏超過三百萬件,以每件館藏欣賞一分鐘計,也得逛足15年。記者:劉鎮豪攝影:陳盛臣隱士廬博物館二百五十周年聖彼得堡之冬,值得忍耐嚴寒一去!為的並非被風雪凝住的浪漫冬日運河,而是趁隆冬時遊客不太多,可慢慢遊逛博物館,細意欣賞有數百年歷史的藝術名畫,窺視凱薩琳大帝對藝術的輕狂。去過羅浮宮和大英,遊人多過廣東道加旺角!要欣賞《蒙羅麗莎的微笑》,十足十上頭炷香一樣,高舉�相機逼呀逼,才能擠到較近位置拍個照,然後被人流沖走,「夏季的隱士廬博物館情況也相差不遠,逼人太甚,冬天來人少少最佳。」讀藝術史的導遊Irina說。十二月初,我來到攝氏零下十度的聖彼得堡,Irina說聖彼得堡人時至今日也在埋怨當年為何彼得大帝會遷都於這個極寒大風又潮濕之地,不過這仿照阿姆斯特丹運河興建的城市,確有抹歐式的淒美,與莫斯科的凍,是不一樣的。窮奢極侈喜愛夜蒲甫進入隱士廬博物館,我立即被通往二樓各個展館的大使台階(Ambassadors' Staircase)震懾住了,白色大理石階梯的殿堂,滿佈金碧輝煌的飾物,雕琢細緻的希臘神話之神天花亂墜,每走一級都要抬頭細看頭上的金環,單是主階梯也走了我十分鐘。我開始相信關於隱士廬博物館的傳言——若花一分鐘欣賞館內每件藝術品,全館要花上15年時間才可逛完。「參觀隱士廬博物館,若跟團來快走一圈,三小時亦未必能夠走遍所有四百間公開的房間。」Irina多次強調參觀隱士廬博物館絕不能貪心,首次可以先觀賞大師名作,如米高安哲羅的石膏雕像《The Crouching Boy》、達文西的《The Benois Madonna》等,「世界上沒有幾多個博物館可以同時收藏�達文西、拉斐爾、林布蘭等大師級畫作,我的小女兒四歲開始有空就來逐少逐少了解,現在認識不少名字。」隱士廬博物館是有五個別館的建築群,主館冬宮是歷代沙皇於聖彼得堡的行宮,於1762年正式完工,不過博物館的歷史一般都以1764年凱薩琳大帝從柏林商人手上買下225幅油畫開始計算。「Hermitage」這個從法國借來的名字,原指凱薩琳在冬宮旁邊為宴請貴族商賈擴建的小艾米塔吉皇宮(Small Hermitage),客人在�面都不用遵守宮廷的繁文縟節,凱薩琳更立下十誡命令派對參加者要放下身段,不得嘆氣或打呵欠,要盡情享樂,幾乎每個月都舉辦兩三次百人夜宴,堪稱喜愛夜蒲之表表者。為裝飾點綴這座玩樂皇宮,在位首十年間她已買了不下二千幅畫作,又請專人為她到歐洲各處洽購藝術品,連宮內的傢俬也請為瑪麗皇后做傢俬的德國工匠製造。及後,小艾米塔吉皇宮不夠位置收藏畫作,又蓋建新一棟大艾米塔吉皇宮(Old Hermitage)和宮內的私人劇院……一邊聽�Irina列舉凱薩琳的窮奢極奢,一邊在博物館內欣賞藝術珍藏,我發覺這座藝術館更是一座歷史博物館,將沙皇昔日的風流史一一記載,比起名畫背後的故事更引人入勝。冬宮的富豪一夜即使沙皇年代已成前塵歷史,但同樣希望過沙皇一樣豪華生活的仍大有人在。去年,聖彼得堡首間取得隱士廬博物館官方認可的Hermitage Hotel正式開幕,雖然大樓是仿照冬宮重新建造,但原址在十月革命前曾是皇室成員的大宅,而且職員門僮的制服也參照沙皇年代的設計,大堂更放置俄羅斯最具代表的法柏格(Faberge)珠寶蛋飾,氣派不凡。原來,要重建昔日沙皇風酒店的人,是居俄20年的阿塞拜疆商人Malik Babayev,從事能源業的他對沙皇文化情有獨鍾,他相信不少遊客來到聖彼得堡都希望親身體驗一下沙皇的豪奢生活,所以與隱士廬博物館洽商開設酒店,最終趕及在博物館250周年前開業。酒店不但在硬件上仿冬宮興建,酒店房間的電視頻道更有與博物館合作製作的紀錄片節目,可以廿四小時在房間欣賞藝術品和宮廷建築,更可以直接從酒店購票免卻遊客旺季時動輒兩小時的排隊購票時間,不過入住一晚價錢不菲,總統套房索價近四萬港元,要做沙皇,果然要銀彈十足。隱士廬博物館網址:.hermitagemuseum.orgHermitage Hotel網址:thehotelhermitage.comTravel Memo:俄羅斯.聖彼得堡機票:俄羅斯航空經莫斯科往聖彼得堡,一月份機票約$5,880起,查詢:.aeroflot.ru簽證:持特區護照可免簽證入境14日。查詢:2877 7188(俄羅斯領事館)匯率:1港元約兌4.3盧布(RUB)(文中價格已折算為港幣)旅行團:永安旅遊莫斯科、聖彼得堡八天直航團(RMS08M),乘搭俄羅斯航空,行程包括克里姆林宮、雲石地鐵、彼得夏宮、聖埃薩大教堂、彼得與保羅城堡、隱士廬博物館、俄羅斯馬戲團及芭蕾舞表演、於聖彼得堡之夏日皇宮享用正宗俄羅斯餐等,即日至二月出發,團費$11,999起。查詢:.wingontravel.com住宿:聖彼得堡Marriott Courtyard Pushkin Hotel位於名芭蕾舞劇場馬林斯基劇院附近,酒店設免費交通往聖埃薩大教堂及涅瓦大道,房價$767起。查詢:.marriott.com鳴謝:永安旅遊、俄羅斯航空、ATC Air Service Limited、Marriott Courtyard Pushkin Hotel迷你倉最平

  • Attorney loses job, but battle remains vs. Anson development, Duke Realty

Source: The Indianapolis StarJan.倉 20--Carol Sparks Drake and her husband carved out a comfortable country life over two decades on their 45-acre farm between Zionsville and Lebanon.The location offered the best of both worlds. Their home was surrounded by cornfields, pastures and woods, but was close enough to I-65 to make for an easy drive to Lebanon, where Drake worked, or into Indianapolis.The Drakes weren't the only ones to recognize the appealing qualities of interstate access and huge expanses of open farmland.In 2003, Duke Realty announced plans to transform 1,700-acres surrounding the Drakes' property into what amounted to a new town. The multi-use development, called Anson, would be anchored by hundreds of houses, apartment buildings and condos. They would be accompanied by medical and office complexes, big-box and smaller retail stores, restaurants and massive distribution centers.Carol Sparks Drake feared her idyllic life was about to be turned upside down. The open fields and woods outside her windows would soon give way to gigantic warehouses and drainage ponds. Her once-quiet farmstead would be exposed to the coming and going of workers and fleets of semis.What would ensue was a classic not-in-my-backyard square-off. Such battles happen all the time in Indiana and across the U.S. as residential and commercial creep swallows up farmland outside of small towns and big cities.The time, however, there was a twist: Drake was an attorney. And not just any attorney. She was a longtime partner in the law firm that happened to represent Duke on the Anson development -- the very project she feared would spoil her rural lifestyle.Drake was not directly involved in the firm's work with Duke, but her personal fight with the important client created a problem. Duke made that clear on more than one occasion. And in 2006, three years into her fight with the developer, Drake was booted from her job at the Lebanon-based law firm where she had been a partner for more than 20 years.Still, Drake continued to fight the development, even as Anson began to grow up around her farm.But that fight, too, has taken an odd twist: Drake is suing Duke for interfering with her employment. She claims the repeated ultimatums from Duke cost her the job with Parr Richey Obremskey & Morton. Drake, however, is not suing the law firm, because the other partners had every right to vote her out.Underlying messageDuke officials deny they interfered in her job in any way."No one from Duke Realty ever demanded, directed, pressured or inferred that Parr Richey should do anything with respect to Ms. Drake," spokeswoman Helen McCarthy said in a statement to The Indianapolis Star."Duke Realty merely informed its counsel that it would terminate its relationship with Parr Richey if one of the firm's partners sued Duke Realty."Drake and her attorney, Barry A. Macey, declined to comment, but details of her case are laid out in court documents. In them, Drake contends the underlying message from Duke to her partners was clear.If she didn't play nice, she had to go.The relationships between Drake and her partners at Parr Richey, and between the law firm and Duke, were just fine, according to the lawsuit, until Duke announced its plans in 2003 for the Anson development.Spanning nearly 2,000 acres of rural land along I-65 near Whitestown, Anson was one of the largest residential, commercial and industrial development projects in the state -- the equal of a new town virtually sprouting from the farmland between Zionsville and Lebanon.Shortly after Duke announced its plans, the company attempted to buy Drake's property. She declined to sell. In May 2004, as the Boone County Area Plan Commission was considering changes Duke sought to zoning and development standard, Drake spoke out publicly against the project.The attorney grew emotional when telling the commission that she and her husband would be surrounded by industrial buildings."We'll look out at loading docks and trucks," she said. "We'll have to look at this for the rest of our lives."'Living in harmony'By August 2004, Drake's pushback seemed to make some headway. She and her husband hammered out an agreement with Duke that limited how land near their farm could be developed. In court records, Drake said they thought the deal would end the fight and allow both sides "to grow old living in harmony."During those negotiations between Drake and Duke, Parr Richie briefly withdrew its representation of the developer because of the potential for a conflict of interest. After the pact was finalized, Parr Richie resumed representing Duke.The ideal of neighbors growing old in harmony, however, soon fell aside.In October 2005, Drake sought appointment to the plan commission, which was still overseeing development requests for the Anson project. That prompted a Duke representative, according to court documents, to contact another partner at Parr Richey.The message, according to Drake's lawsuit, was that she must withdraw her application or the law firm "would not ... represent Duke again."At the request of other partners, court documents reveal, Drake stepped back.The dispute, however, came to a head when Drake sent the developer a letter outlining alleged breaches of theirland use agreement. The Oct. 25, 2006, warning called for Duke to uphold its deal with the Drakes.Two weeks later, court records say, Duke officials Thomas Dickey, Craig Anderson and Charles Podell met wit24小時迷你倉 two Parr Richey partners at Duke's office. The Duke officials, according to court documents, told the partners that "if Drake formally intervenes or protests or either party files a complaint" on the land use agreement, Parr Richey's relationship with Duke would be terminated.'A problem that needed to go away'In notes from that meeting, one Parr Richey partner wrote it was "in (the firm's) best interest to see if this can be resolved."Prior to that meeting, Drake contends, "none of the partners had indicated in any way" that her future with the firm was in jeopardy. But a week after Duke issued its ultimatum, the Parr Richey partners who met with the Duke officials called a meeting with other partners at the law firm, including Drake.After that meeting, court records reveal, one partner told Drake "the situation with (Duke) was a problem that needed to go away" and "this could be your job ... if you don't sell your farm to Duke."Drake again refused to back down and, on Dec. 9, 2006, Parr Richey partners held another meeting. This time Drake wasn't there.They voted to remove her as a partner.More legal actionDrake pushed ahead in her fight with Duke.In January 2007, she filed for a court order that would force Duke to live up to its commitments in the land use agreement. Details of that agreement remain confidential and it is not clear how Duke had violated the pact.But court records show a Hamilton Superior Court Judge agreed that Duke had violated the agreement and ordered Duke to abide by its deal with Drake. The judge also required Duke to pay Drake more than $50,000 in court costs, attorney's fees and other expenses.Drake didn't stop there. She filed the employment lawsuit against Duke on Aug. 7, 2009, in Hamilton Superior Court. It alleges the pressure Duke placed on Parr Richey caused the other partners to give her the boot.Last January, the case was dismissed by Judge J. Richard Campbell."It is not obvious at all that (Duke's) intent was to pressure Parr Richey to terminate (Drake) if she did not reach an agreement," Campbell wrote in his decision.Still, the judge didn't let Duke off the hook completely."There is no doubt," Campbell said in his ruling, that Duke did contribute to Drake's termination as a partner with the law firm. "But there are no facts to suggest that (Duke's) intent was for Parr Richey to terminate" Drake, the judge noted.Drake appealed Campbell's ruling and last month the Indiana Court of Appeals overturned it, sending the case back to Hamilton Superior Court.The appellate panel found there was a "genuine issue of material fact as to Duke's intent," which should have allowed the case to move forward and be heard by a jury.The Court of Appeals ruling also said evidence "supports the inference" that it was Duke's breach of the land use agreement, together with "Duke Realty's threat conveyed to Parr Richey ... that caused Parr Richey to remove Drake from the partnership."'Tortuous interference'The next step in the case remains unclear.Duke can ask the Indiana Supreme Court to step in, or accept the appellate ruling and allow the case to go to trial before a jury in Hamilton County.The legal fight hinges on a somewhat murky and little-used legal principle called "tortuous interference."If the case goes to a jury, Drake will have to prove it is "more likely than not" that Duke intentionally and without justification induced Drake's law partners to remove her from the firm, said Antony Page, vice dean and professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis.Indiana is an "at-will" state, which means an employer does not need a reason to fire an employee. That is why Drake doesn't have a claim against her former partners at Parr Richey.But the Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that a third party is not allowed to interfere with an employment contract, Page explained."Duke had every right to pull its business from the law firm, but if they attached a threat along with it that could be a problem," said Page. "If there was no threat, there would be no claim."Proving her claim, Page added, does not require Drake to show that Duke specifically intended for her to be removed as a partner. Intent also can be established, the Court of Appeals ruling explained, if Duke "acted for another purpose but knew that the interference was certain or substantially certain to occur."In its defense, Duke might turn to a letter it sent Parr Richey two days before the partners booted Drake. The letter stated "it was not (Duke's) intent to encourage the partnership to take any form of action against Ms. Drake."In subsequent depositions taken in the case, however, two Parr Richey partners questioned the motive behind Duke's letter."One characterized it as a 'CYA letter,'" the court of appeals order said. "The other wrote on a copy of the letter that it was written 'in this manner to avoid claims of tortuous interference (with) a contract.'"Contract and employment disputes, Page said, are common in Indiana and sometimes include secondary claims of tortuous interference."But all these elements brought together in terms of a law firm are pretty rare," he said. "It's the kind of thing that doesn't necessarily reach the public eye."Call Star reporter Tim Evans at (317) 444-6204.

  • 副學士爭報銜接學位課程

迷你倉【本報訊】記者彩雯報道:雖然《施政報告》提出逐步增加一千個副學士銜接學額,仍無法紓緩數萬副學士畢業生的前途焦慮。適逢雙班年副學士畢業生增加,莘莘學子紛紛「買保險」,報讀各式自資銜接課程。有學生表示,副學士銜接學位競爭激烈,亦無信心升讀八大,無奈只要希望能拿到張學位證書即可。2014年《施政報告》提出,2015/16學年起,逐步把大學教育資助委員會資助院校的學士學位課程高年級收生學額增加1000 個至2018/19 學年的每年5000個。但遠水救不了近火,不少今年畢業的副學士學生,近日紛紛奔走各校報讀銜接學位課程。城市大學專業進修學院昨舉辦的「銜接學位課程(TOP-UP)資訊周」,吸引不少即將畢業的副學士學生前來諮詢。就讀浸會大學應用科學副學士的陳同學表示,自己平時成績不算差,不過今年剛好雙班年,副學士畢業生增多,競爭激烈,不得不多考慮幾條出路。盼買多幾份「保self storage」就讀城大社區學院的曾同學亦趕�填交申請表,雖然她也深感雙班年的競爭激烈,但她表示: 「身處激烈競爭之中的並非我自己,而是所有學生都需要考慮的問題。」曾同學除了報讀城大銜接學位課程外,亦打算報讀樹仁大學、公開大學等學校的自資學位課程,希望「買多幾份保險」以保證自己能取得一紙學歷。城大專業進修學院署理院長馬志強預計,今年受雙班年影響,銜接學位課程將增加15-20%。他透露,去年學院的收生人數在1600左右,加上夜校的逾千學生,合共有超過2600個學生入讀。「就讀會計、商科的學生佔逾千人,為最受歡迎的學科。由於環境熟悉,所以吸引較多城大學生申請。」馬志強表示,隨�適齡兒童人數的下降,到2022年全港大約僅有五萬中學文憑試考生。「學校未來將發展多元化的課程,並與海外大學合作開辦碩士、博士等課程。」他透露,學院快將推出金融、服務、旅遊等相關課程,同時在尋找優質的合作者。迷利倉

  • Pinellas businesswoman passionate adversary of transit plan

Source: Tampa Tribune, Fla.儲存Jan. 20--ST. PETERSBURG -- The woman leading the fight against light-rail coming to Pinellas County rode, of all things, a train during a visit to Naples, Italy, last year.After boarding, Barbara Haselden was hoisting her bag into an overhead luggage rack when she felt a tug and turned to catch a woman trying to steal a wad of euros from her handbag.Without hesitating, she floored the thief with a forearm smash.A local tea party stalwart, Haselden, 61, is likely to be just as fierce an opponent for backers of Greenlight Pinellas, the plan to expand bus service and build a 24-mile light-rail network from Clearwater to St. Petersburg.Local politicians and chambers of commerce have lined up in support of the plan, which would be paid for by a penny sales-tax hike. They will likely be joined by Realtors, developers and other companies that are expected to ante up as much as $1 million into a campaign to persuade residents to vote "Yes" in a referendum on Nov. 4.In the way of that political steamroller stand Haselden and No Tax for Tracks, a group of tea partiers, anti-tax activists and other transit skeptics who have been cast as spoilers in the campaign. Formed as a political committee last month, No Tax for Tracks will launch its campaign Tuesday evening in Largo.Polls indicate strong support for Greenlight, and No Tax for Tracks knows it likely will be hugely outgunned when it comes to donations. But the group is taking heart from the Hillsborough County group of the same name that, with a campaign war chest of only $24,000, defeated a 2010 transit referendum backed by business and civic leaders to the tune of $1.6 million."We're going to work ourselves ragged this year," Haselden said. "We're on the right side of the issue; we're on the people's side."The referendum will decide the future of mass transit in Pinellas for years to come.If approved, roughly $30 million in property taxes that subsidize PSTA operations will be replaced by a penny sales tax, boosting the agency's annual funding by roughly $100 million.That would pay for a 30-year plan to drastically expand bus services, adding more routes and running more buses to encourage passengers to leave their cars at home. Bus Rapid Transit -- road lanes dedicated for bus travel only -- would be developed on some of the county's key transit corridors. Development would also begin on a proposed 24-mile light-rail network from Clearwater to St. Petersburg that will cost an estimated $1.6 billion.Backers say transit expansion is the next step in the economic development of the county, with light-rail stations and bus routes encouraging mixed-use development of condos, apartments and offices they say will attract more young professionals and others who do not want to rely on a car.If voters reject the expansion, PSTA would continue to be funded by property taxes. PSTA leaders say they would have to slash existing bus services by roughly 30 percent, as the agency has been tapping reserves.As No Tax for Tracks campaign manager and spokeswoman, Haselden is likely to be the face of opposition to Greenlight five years after she first became interested in politics.The owner of an insurance agency providing coverage for long-term care of the elderly, she became involved with politics after watching aghast at the bailing out of banks, the spending of billions of dollars on stimulus programs and the election of President Barack Obama.Her response was to co-found South Pinellas 912 Patriots, an offshoot of the tea party movement that sees fiscal conservatism and limited government as a patriotic defense of the Constitution.For her, the Greenlight plan is akin to another bailout, using tax dollars to rescue what she sees as an u迷你倉derperforming agency, in this case the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.Haselden's deep distrust of government is obvious. She suspects bus windows are tinted so residents will not be able to see how few people are onboard. She describes leaders of the agency and the county as "power-hungry people who will not prune this system.""That same kind of mentality that is wrecking our country in Washington, we can do something about here," she said. "Only government thinks the answer to empty buses is more empty buses and an empty train."PSTA officials point out that out-of-service buses travel 130,000 miles each month to the start and from the end of routes. Window tinting is for the comfort of passengers and to lower the use of air-conditioning on the bus, which increases fuel economy.As for arguments that a government-owned bus network should serve low-population communities so that elderly, disabled or others who cannot drive or afford a car have access to transportation, Haselden says she doesn't buy into that "guilt trip.""If you need to ride the bus, you live near the bus stop," she said. "People will take care of their own problems."The daughter of a truck driver and a stay-at-home mom, Haselden's belief in thriftiness and business values came from her upbringing in central Indiana."We weren't rich, but we always seemed to have enough because they were hard workers," she said.She describes her fight against transit expansion as patriotic, as putting country first.Asked if those who support transit expansion aren't also patriotic, she pauses for a long moment before conceding they may be. The concession still comes with a caveat."I spend a lot of time doing this for nothing and they're being paid," she said.Since PSTA first began exploring light-rail and bus expansion, Haselden has attended more than 100 meetings. Once it became clear that the Greenlight plan would be put to voters, she began making presentations against it to Kiwanis groups, Rotary clubs and neighborhood associations.John Burgess, a member of No Tax for Tracks who has known Haselden for about four years, said she has let some of her business slip away because she is so focused on the referendum."I've never seen anything like it; she's spent so much time going to these meetings," Burgess said. "A lot of people misunderstand anyone like that who gets so involved. They are passionate people who are misunderstood as being radical."But supporters of Greenlight say that No Tax for Tracks is spreading misinformation, an approach they say will turn off the public to their message."She's passionate about her position, but I don't believe it's accurate," said Jeff Danner, a former St. Petersburg City Council and PSTA board member who is expected to take a position advising Realtors and developers backing Greenlight. "Stuff like that just doesn't work."Haselden said she is prepared for a campaign she knows will consume most of this year. Her group has a cadre of speakers who will visit community groups. They have launched a Facebook page and a website, and raised $17,000 in donations.She stressed that No Tax for Tracks is not a tea party group, but that it wants to protect Pinellas County from potential bankruptcy and to shield taxpayers from government."We've got to be hanging onto our billfolds like I did on that train in Naples," she said. "They're pickpockets."The No Tax For Tracks campaign launch is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Abundant Life Ministries,1550 Belcher Road S. in Largo.

  • PBOC to inject more cash into market today

China's central bank has provided emergency funding support to commercial banks and will add more cash today, as authorities respond to a spike in cash rates ahead of a major holiday, the bank said yesterday.文件倉The move by the People's Bank of China comes after the interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans spiked in recent days.Bankers and analysts say the PBOC is hoping to strike a balance by guiding interbank interest rates steadily higher to cut excess credit growth, while avoiding an acute credit crunch that could spark panic and choke off financing to the real economy.The central bank also appears to be responding to criticism that it failed to communicate effectively with the market during a severe cash crunch that roiled markets in June. Bankers and analysts criticized the PBOC for remaining largely silent as panic gripped the market and rumors swirled about interbank defaults."The central bank's operations are just a flexible response to the liquidity situation. They weren't planning to inject funds," China International Capital Corp wrote in a note to clients yesterday.The PBOC said via its official Twitter-like Weibo micro-blog that it had provided an unspecified amount of funding to the largest banks via its Short-term Lending Facility (SLF).The central bank also said it will inject further cash into the banking system at regularly scheduled open market operations today. The PBOC has not injected funds through such operations since December 24.Indeed, long-time market watchers said it's virtually unprecedented for the central bank to openly declare its intention to inject存倉or withdraw funds at regularly scheduled open market operations. Typically, the market learns of these operations only after they are conducted.But in an echo of previous statements, the PBOC again urged banks to improve liquidity management. Regulators have also expressed concern about some banks' excessive reliance on short-term funding markets.Bankers say the PBOC is using higher money market rates as a tool to curb explosive growth in economy-wide debt since 2008, especially off-balance sheet credit that banks often fund through interbank borrowing.In addition to the support for big banks and the planned injection today, the central bank will also offer overnight, seven-day, and 14-day funds to smaller banks via SLF, it said in on its website.The PBOC will offer up to 120 billion yuan (US$19.8 billion) in funds to smaller banks through this channel, according to a central bank document.Analysts say smaller banks rely the most on money-market funding because their smaller branch networks provide them less access to customer deposits.The sources said banks incorporated at the regional or local level can apply to the PBOC for fund injections via SLF when the interest rate on the overnight bond repurchase rate exceeds 5 percent, the seven-day repo rate exceeds 7 percent, or the 14-day repo rate exceeds 8 percent, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the new policy.Those thresholds will remain in effect through the Lunar New Year holiday which starts on January 31. After that the expanded SLF mechanism will remain in place for small banks but the thresholds could change, the sources said.儲存
