　　「形勢是不斷發展的，儲存倉必須與時俱進」，這是老生常談的道理。但在我們澳門特區，過去都是說說而已，亦即是沒有將之當真，並付諸實行，不過似乎也沒有甚麼「不良後果」，而且更無須被問責。不過，以後可能「沒有這支歌仔唱」了，因為最近透露出的信息，似乎是與以往有所不同，出現了必須適應形勢發展，在求穩中進行改革，與時俱進的壓力和緊迫感。　　其一、是國家主席習近平在會見赴京述職的特首崔世安時，除了是「例牌」的高度肯定澳門特區、特首崔世安和特區政府的成就之外，也委婉地指出了澳門特區工作的不足之處，並希望特首崔世安及特區政府能夠盡快糾舉。實際上，習近平主席指出，澳門要強調的主要還是如何長治久安，要做到這點就要居安思危，謀劃長遠。習近平稱澳門一直較快持續發展，但在發展過程中一些問題也在不斷顯現，要怎樣能夠不斷妥善解決這些問題，並在這些年快速發展的基礎上求實創新，比如說如何繼續發展適度經濟多元，就要求繼續改善優化澳門經濟發展結構。而要實現澳門持續發展，就需要特區政府和澳門社會各界繼續努力。　　雖然與習主席對香港特首梁振英的要求更為嚴格的「橫向」相比，似是較為緩和些，但與過去江澤民、胡錦濤對澳門特區的工作只是說好不提差距的「直向」相比，就呈現了微妙的差異。在任事較真，就職僅是一年就推出十五大類，六十個項目及三百多項具體措施的重大改革戰略的習近平的面前，過去的只講成績不提差距的做法，「只求無錯，不求有功」，「只講維穩，不求改革」的思維方式及實際做法，恐怕已經難以跟上以習近平為核心的新一屆中央政府的思路及要求。因而中央對澳門特區及特區政府也就有著更高的要求，必須「成績說夠，差距講透」，不能以成績來掩蓋差距，更不能對不足之處「側側膊，唔多覺」。　　其二、是國務院港澳辦主任王光亞在分別會見港澳特首梁振英、崔世安時，都宣佈中央已經決定把行政長官述職規範化，今後港澳兩位特首到北京向中央領導人述職的時間規範於每年十二月十九日之前完成，方便澳門特首在澳門主持回歸紀念日活動。而述職規範化的另一重要內容，是要求兩位特首「查找不足」及訂出來年工作報告。事後王光亞對媒體關於「過去比較多說做了哪些成績，現在亦要求他們要轉達不足，以及新一年有甚麼新計劃，也要匯報貫徹落實基本法方面，取得哪些進展及存在哪些問題。」顯然是要求港澳兩特首在「成績說夠」的同時，更要「差距講透」，亦即是必須進行「自我批評」。　其三、是即將卸任澳門中聯辦主任的白志健，在其題為《凝心聚力再寫新華章》的澳門回歸週年紀念文章中，既高度肯定了澳門回歸十四年來尤其是過去一年的各項成就，包括勇於應對困難和挑戰，積極緩解居民生活壓力；發展步子堅實有力，呈現出許多新的亮點；民主政治穩步推進，社會管理水平不斷提高等，並熱情讚揚行政長官和特區政府團結帶領廣大澳門同胞，務實進取，銳意創新，創造了經濟持續發展、社會事業全面進步、居民生活不斷改善、社會總體和諧穩定的可喜成就，澳門「一國兩制」實踐取得了巨大成功，更頗為具體且又深刻地指出了特區工作迷你倉最平一些不足之處，可說是「一針見血」地提出了澳門所存在的各種深層次問題，並提出了「要牢牢把握發展這一主題」、「認真應對各種困難和挑戰」、「努力夯實未來發展的制度基礎」，和「始終堅持愛國愛澳的核心價值觀」等四項改善建議。其中一些內容，還是頗為到位的，比如加快建設「一個中心」、「一個平臺」，實現澳門可持續發展；著力解決發展中的突出問題，在穩定主導?業的基礎上，大力推動非博彩旅遊、會展、文創、中醫藥等新興?業的發展，培育支撐經濟發展的新增長點，堅定不移地走適度多元發展道路；又如要始終保持憂患意識，時刻做好應對各種困難和挑戰的准備；再如加緊完善與基本法實施相關的制度和機制，使社會各界更加自覺地處理好「一國」與「兩制」的關系，確保中央事權和特區高度自治權的有效行使；切實加強立法統籌，增進行政與立法的良性互動，加快推進重大立法，深化特區的法制建設；……等。　　「驕傲使人落後，虛心使人進步」。只有進行批評和自我批評，查找不足並紮實予以改進，才能進步。目前澳門特區及特區政府對中央屢次強調「居安思危」，似乎是「言者淳淳，聽者渺渺」，幾乎是當作「耳邊風」，盲目樂觀於眼前的賭收持續增長，而忽略博彩業一支獨大的脆弱性和危害性。在習近平「居安思危」的黃鐘雷鳴之下，特區政府及其經濟範疇的「當家人」應當清醒了，在審批路�新的大型酒店計劃時，必須抓緊並督促其落實的「非博彩旅遊元素」的同時，嚴控賭檯的增長。另外，在二零一五年檢討賭牌政策時，也須嚴肅掂量一下，增發賭牌的訴求，是否與中央的要求相悖？　　中央向澳門特區提出「經濟適度多元發展」及「世界旅遊休閑中心」、「中國——葡語國家經貿合作平臺」的三大經濟發展定位。但到目前為主，只有「中國——葡語國家經貿合作平臺」因為是「一國」的國家行為，在外交部和商務主導下，形成了嚴謹的制度，每隔三年就舉行一次部長級會議，並陸續提出系列配合計劃，還在澳門設立了秘書處，既有制度，也有規劃，亦有機構。　　但屬於「兩制」範疇亦即特區行為的「經濟適度多元發展」、「世界旅遊休閑中心」，因為是澳門特區「高度自治」事務，中央不便「插手」，結果就未能像「中國——葡語國家經貿平臺」那樣，建立制度，制定計劃及設置機構。雖然有高喊口號，實際上都是「抓而不緊，等於不抓」。　　實際上，直到如今，仍未看到特區政府就「經濟適度多元發展」及「世界旅遊休閑中心」提出規劃性、主導性的文件，也沒有設置主導的機構，更沒有時間表，任由涉及的幾個政府機構如經濟、旅遊、工務等「各自為戰」、「多中心等於無中心」，不但是未能作出協調，反而是各扯後腿。　　倘明年習主席會見崔世安，由於可能已經當選連任，並將在幾日後宣誓就職。按照「首任熟悉情況，次任大幹快上」的國際慣例，而且因為屆時已經建立了述職的規範制度，習主席或許會提問，澳門特區在落實「經濟適度多元發展」及「世界旅遊休閑中心」、「中國——葡語國家經貿合作平臺」這三大經濟發展定位的進度，就必須拿出執行落實的規劃性、主導性文件，而不是「交白卷」了。迷你倉

楚天都市報訊 據《重慶晨報》報道 有重慶市民21日發現不少羊肉館都“滿員”，為啥？原來是一些台歷和手機日曆鬧烏龍，將22日的冬至日標到了21日，導致冬至當天喝的羊肉湯提前一天“沸騰”了。記者採訪得知，目前許多手機，包括原來一些以MTK內核為主的國產手機和安卓智能手機的日曆，都將21日列為冬至，而iPhone等顯示正確。一些台歷和掛曆則兩版本都有。某手機軟件開發公司相關人士稱，手機日曆都是在公式中套入數據後直接產生結果，若四捨五入，今年冬至就是22日，否則就顯示是21日。mini storage

Philips Automotive launched its 100th anniversary celebration earlier this month at the 2013 Shanghai Automechanika, the world's second-largest auto-parts exhibition.迷你倉The company has much to applaud, looking back on a century of innovation that made it a supplier of vehicle lighting products for one-third of the cars in the world. Looking forward, the company sees its future in China, where it currently operates two plants."By 2016, 100 million cars are expected to be produced globally every year, and nearly 30 percent of them will come from China," Dominiek Plancke, CEO of BG Automotive at Philips Lighting, said at the exhibition. "The majority of products displayed here today are developed based on local needs."New products at the exhibit offered a vision of how the company plans to meet the challenge of providing safer, more stylish and more environmentally friendly solutions in a rapidly changing world.For example, Philips WeatherVision is designed to help drivers through murky conditions, like China's smog, by generating a high penetration yellow beam to increase visibility to oncoming traffic and, at the same time, reduce glare. Philips said its research shows that increased glare from headlights is the main reason why motorists feel eight times more uncomfortable driving in rain, fog and snow than they do in darkness.Also on display was the Philips WhiteVision, which can provide 40 percent more light on the road and 20 percent more white light than a standard lamp. The lamp comes with a blue top coating that allows stylish upgrades."Chinese consumers are looking for very bright and white light," said Dimitri Jallade, head of marketing and strategy and vice president of BG Automotive at Philips Lighting. "And they are willing to pay extra for different bluish light."Aiming to bring the personalization of car lamps to a new level is Philips ColorVision, which employs a special coating that enables a colored car bulb to illuminate the lamp with a chosen shade, while projecting pure white light forward to ensure the safety of other road users."And in 2015, the first full LED headlight in China will be produced by Philips, in conjunction with a Chinese manufacturer," Jallade said of the most popular energy-saving lighting technology in Asia, particularly among premium carmakers.Philips Automotive holds an undisputable No. 1 position in supplying lighting products to original equipment manufacturers in China, said Plancke.Does the company's advantage stem from the fact that China, lacking its own vehicle lighting standard, has adopted the European standard? Plancke shrugged and said, in the end, all that matters is road safety, not which country develops a standard.Some of the requirements are quite universal. For example, a headlight should generate amini storagebeam that doesn't cause glare for other motorists, he said."Philips is working very closely with Chinese authorities on the standardization issue," he added.After-sales marketThe original equipment manufacturing market is not the single focus of Philips Automotive. Since the beginning of this year, the company has been rolling out an authorized retail network for the after-sales market, which it believes will be growing exponentially along with car numbers.Jallade said 80 percent of replacement vehicle lights are bought after the original ones fail or break. To address the urgent need for a replacement, consumers will either go straightaway to a physical shop or go online for help.Selling lamps through the Internet, which Philips plans to do as a complement to its traditional retail channels in China, can be very challenging because it's quite hard to demonstrate the brightness of a product online."There are two segments of car light consumers: the ones who really have experience and confidence in replacing the bulbs themselves, and those who want advice and want it done for them," said Plancke. "The first group can indeed go online to buy, while the second group is going to be informed online first and advised to go to a shop later."The real challenge for Philips is educating people in sales channels to ensure that consumers get the right advice on which replacement bulbs to buy for their cars, he added.Most Chinese consumers probably associate the name of Philips with consumer home appliances. That narrow vision doesn't seem to be weighing on the minds of Plancke and Jallade too much."We can leverage our credentials of being a major supplier to automakers," said Jallade. "And our brand will be built not only by the lighting business, but also by other products that are relevant to people in the automotive space."The Philips Automotive Driving Recorder and the GoPure Compact Range Automotive Clean Air System made their China debuts during the Shanghai Automechanika show.Featuring instant collision detection and file-saving protection that can ensure the accuracy of emergency video and prevent re-writing, the recorder can provide testimony for drivers if they are caught up in disputable accidents, which happen a lot in China nowadays.The portable air purifier is a timely response to growing concerns about poor air quality in China. Designed with a unique three-layer filtering process, the purifier is said to be engineered to a medical grade, capable of cleaning up cabin air within 10 minutes.The two solutions, examples of resource-sharing among diverse Philips-branded businesses that include healthcare and consumer products, embody the principle that Philips Automotive is always ready to keep up with changing times and the challenges of the new century.self storage

Discounts given by online merchants are the main draw[SINGAPORE] Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be US sales events, but that has not stopped them from creating waves in Singapore's shopping scene.儲存 In fact, these are the busiest days of the year for local online shopping and shipping service provider vPost, said its senior vice-president for eCommerce, Marcelo Wesseler. The company does not provide details on sales volumes; however, it saw an increase in unique visitors by more than 140 per cent on those two days. Its recently established Omigo.com shopping site, which currently stocks about 7,000 consumer electronics, toys and baby products from the US and Singapore merchants, recorded a 127 per cent jump in transactions in the week leading to Black Friday compared to the week before. The key attraction for local shoppers is the discounts given by online merchants, which range from 10 to 30 per cent, said Mr Wesseler. While the sale events are well-known to Singaporean shoppers, he said that a number of e-commerce firms here are still not aware of them or their effect. One local merchant that has been surprised by the influence of Black Friday is LaPrendo.com, which sells luxury goods to a largely local clientele. The start of its end-of-season sale, which coincided with Black Friday, saw a four-fold jump in revenue compared to the company's normal daily revenue. Its director Shu-Yi Yeo said that the company is considering tapping the sales event in the future not just for its business in Singapore, but also in the Middle East. As for Cyber Monday, local shoppers making online purchases with PayPal were whipping up a rate of 10 transactions per minute last year. (The company was not able to provide local 2013 numbers at the time of writing.) In fact, this was the busiest day for Singapore shoppers who bought from overseas websites using PayPal during the October-December period in 2012, said Lawrence Chan, the company's vice-president for Asia Pacific Merchant Services and general manager for South-east Asia and India. He added that PayPal saw a 21 per cent increase in Black Friday sales from US merchants to Singapore shoppers last year, compared to the year before. For businesses that missed out on e-commerce opportunities during these two events, there is still the rest of December to look forward to. Last year, local PayPal merchants fulfilled orders from an international audien迷你倉e at a rate of 11 transactions per minute on Dec 27. Between October and December last year, they reaped a 32 per cent year-on-year increase in sales volumes, recording growth particularly from buyers in China, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia and Great Britain. The top categories for Singapore merchants experiencing high year-on-year growth were travel, fashion and software. Singaporeans are also increasingly buying toys, baby products, supplements and beauty products from both local and overseas sites throughout the year, observed Mr Wesseler. Also on the rise is the use of mobile phones to do online shopping. According to PayPal, the volume of mobile payments it processed globally last year grew more than three times to US$14 billion. It expects this to further increase to US$20 billion this year. In Singapore, a study carried out by research firm Nielsen from March to May 2013 found that 31 per cent of local consumers used their mobile devices to shop online, compared to 24 per cent in 2012. For e-commerce sites such as vPost, Omigo.com and LaPrendo.com, mobile phone shoppers account for 40 per cent of their online traffic. "In the mornings and evenings, we see very high mobile traffic as consumers surf while waiting for their transportation or on their journey to or from the office. However, purchases are made largely using the desktop or tablet during lunch breaks or late in the evening. Although we see an increase in mobile phone payments, they make up under 10 per cent of our total payment volume," said Mr Wesseler. Mobile payment also allows for self-service especially during a sale or in a crowded store, added Ms Yeo. Some of her customers go into her retail stores to check out the products, and then purchase them with their mobile phones to skip the queue at the cashier. At times, they use the phones to enjoy an online promotion code. She noted that shoppers typically use the mobile phone for single-item purchases. For multiple items, they prefer the desktop as the larger screen offers them the ease of making comparisons between products. "Adopting a mobile mindset is now a critical component for stores to capture customers who focus on price and simplicity. For example, no-line payment options and tablet point-of-sale check-out will become more important than ever to draw customers," said Mr Chan. PayPal expects Singapore's online commerce market to reach S$4.4billion by 2015.儲存倉

本報駐法國特派特約記者 姚 蒙“轉眼間，迷你倉慶典成為悲劇”，法國當地時間20日，中國富豪郝琳正式購買一座法國葡萄酒莊後，莊園主人格雷戈瓦邀請郝琳及其兒子、翻譯共同登上直升機，從空中欣賞酒莊。不料飛機一去不回，最終被發現墜毀，郝琳12歲兒子的尸體被找到，而格雷戈瓦、郝琳及其翻譯均被認為已遇難。法新社稱，郝琳的妻子在最後一刻沒有登上飛機，免于災禍。目前，法國搜救人員正全力尋找失蹤人員，中國駐法國使館也已派人前往出事地點，參與處理此事。據法新社報道，19日，46歲的郝琳代表其公司、雲南柏聯集團舉行簽字儀式，購買拉雷維埃城堡酒莊。20日上午，酒莊舉行新聞發佈會，許多來賓及媒體人士出席。當天下午，原酒莊莊主格雷戈瓦向其工作班子介紹新莊主，並舉行晚宴。時近傍晚，格雷戈瓦興致很高，邀請郝琳夫婦與他們的孩子乘坐直升機觀賞夕陽、俯瞰酒莊。據在場的法新社攝影記者稱，格雷戈瓦起飛前仔細檢查了飛機設備和起飛程序，他坐在駕駛座、郝琳坐在他身邊，後座是郝琳的兒子與翻譯。郝琳的夫人劉湘雲本來也要登機，但最後表示有點害怕而留在地面。隨後直升機升空，轉圈後消失。20多分鐘後，飛機還沒有返回城堡，在場人士開始焦慮，馬上聯繫消防急救人員。不久後，消防隊一架直升機開始搜救，法國憲兵隊大型直升機隨後也參加行動。消防隊與憲兵隊還設立指揮部，動員100多人進行大規模搜救。直到有目擊者電話報警，大家才知道直升機墜入了城堡附近的多爾多涅河，搜救人員出動救生艇與蛙人下水搜尋。法國《西南日報》引述目擊事故發生的當地一位趕鴨人的話稱，當時飛機飛行非常低，“可能距離河面只有10到15米，這很奇怪”，“之後我就聽到震耳欲聾的墜機聲，河面濺起水花，兩個人在掙扎”。20日晚，郝琳兒子的尸體被找到。拉雷維埃城堡酒莊位於法國波爾多地區拉雷維埃村，酒莊城堡于1577年建在公元8世紀查理曼大帝的一個要塞廢墟上，此後經19世紀著名建築師翻修，是該地區出名的旅遊點、同時作為特色酒店也接待客人。該酒莊葡萄園面積達65公頃，還有3公頃地下酒窖。據波爾多酒業聯合會指出，此次購買行動是中國人在當地最大的一次投資行動，數額達到3000萬歐元，由此引起當地政府、媒體等的廣泛關注。據英國廣播公司（BBC）22日報道，郝mini storage擔任總裁、其妻子劉湘雲擔任董事長的柏聯集團是雲南省知名企業，主要從事房地產開發、旅遊、百貨、酒店和普洱茶園經營。收購拉雷維埃酒莊後，柏聯集團除了繼續運營釀酒業務外，還將把城堡轉型成高端品茶品酒中心，在酒莊附近建設高檔酒店。酒莊所屬的利柏納市市長布依松在20日的慶典上表示，普洱茶與波爾多美酒的結合是一件大好事。香港電台21日報道稱，郝琳及其兒子為香港公民。21日晨，中國駐法國大使館領事部主任李平公參率工作組乘首班列車抵達波爾多，立即與當地政府、警方負責人會面，聽取相關情況介紹。法新社22日報道稱，格雷戈瓦、郝琳及其翻譯仍下落不明，但他們生還的希望渺茫。經過21日晚暫停搜救後，潛水員再次進入冰冷的多爾多涅河，幾乎在毫無光亮的狀況下用手摸索檢查每個地方。警方稱，湍急的水流使搜尋工作進展艱難。報道稱，22日，驗尸官將對郝琳兒子的尸體進行檢驗，但確定飛機墜毀的原因，可能需要幾周的時間。而更令媒體唏噓的是“莊園魔咒”的說法。法新社稱，該城堡上一位主人讓-勒潘斯也是因飛機事故去世：2002年2月，這位66歲的富翁乘坐雙引擎塞斯納私人飛機失事，與駕駛員一起遇難。隨後的2003年，格雷戈瓦購下了拉雷維埃城堡酒莊。此次新舊城堡主人又同時遇難，令人很難想象。波爾多地區是法國的名酒產區，一共擁有大大小小8000多個酒莊。目前中國投資者已經購入了幾十個酒莊，但檔次、規模都不大，大都在1000萬歐元左右。此次的拉雷維埃酒莊被認為是中國人投資的最大規模酒莊。香港《南華早報》22日刊文指出，越來越多的中國資金進入法國葡萄園，在當地引發對立意見，法國當局甚至警告中國資金的湧入“存在洗錢嫌疑”。從2009年至2012年，僅在波爾多地區，被中國投資者購買的莊園數量已經從兩個增長到25個，現在則為50個。批評聲音認為，葡萄酒莊應該掌握在法國人手中，支持者則歡迎外國投資進入該地，重建當地的基礎設施。文章引述波爾多地區葡萄酒業記者的話稱，只要再有5—10個葡萄酒莊被賣給中國投資者，中國人就將超過比利時人，成為波爾多地區擁有酒莊數量最多的外國人。不過，據一位已經在波爾多地區投資的中國酒莊主告訴《環球時報》記者，因為許多酒莊是在虧損情況下出售的，購買酒莊後的管理經營是一個新的挑戰。▲self storage

Source: American News, Aberdeen, S.迷你倉D.Dec. 22--Technology is helping the Brown County Director of Equalization Office save some time and money.Property owners in the county can now have their assessments sent their way via email.Mary Worlie, director of equalization, said Brown County is the first South Dakota county to offer the voluntary service. Those who sign up for it will not get assessment cards mailed to them, which will save Worlie's office money.One thing property owners need to note while registering to get emailed assessments is that they will have to include any names under which they have land or property listed. That means any names listed on past assessments or tax bills, she said. Using her name as an example, she said she would include Mary Worlie, Marie E. Worlie, Worlie Auction and Worlie Farms.The assessments can be sent to more than one person's email address, if needed, she said.Assessments have to be sent out annually by March 1. In early February, she said, the office will likely send an email blast listing all properties for which assessments will be going out via email, she said. But values likely won't be finalized by then, she said, so they will be sent out later in the month.The email option is just that -- an option, she said. N迷你倉西貢body is required to use it."This is a work in progress," Worlie said, noting that it might take some fine-tuning.She said the equalization office can track addresses and make phone calls to keep residents from abusing the system by requesting another's assessments.To sign up to receive assessments by email, go to the county website at brown.sd.us and click on "Departments" on the left side of the page. Then, click on the "Equalization (County Assessor)" link.A variety of information about property in Brown County is available online through a service called Beacon. The website -- beacon.schneidercorp.com -- lists some information for free like the owner of property at a certain address and its value. More detailed information, though requires a subscription.The Beacon site pays for itself via revenue from subscriptions, which cost $300 a year, Worlie said. There's also a sign-up fee of $25. There are 30 to 40 Beacon subscriptions, she said.Agricultural and commercial sale information from recent years is also available for free on the Beacon site, Worlie said.Follow @ScottReports on Twitter.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the American News (Aberdeen, S.D.)

據稱事發前剛完成收購，mini storage其妻因“怕直升機”而未隨行南都訊 據香港媒體報道，香港居民兼內地富商郝琳在法國買入一個酒莊後，搭直升機巡視時墜機，他和兒子失蹤，現場撈起一具尸體。據報道，事發20日，當地政府派出直升機、橡皮艇、潛水員和約100人在現場搜索，並在墜落多爾多涅河的直升機殘骸內撈起一具尸體，但未知其身份。法新社報道，直升機由酒莊的前所有人亦即是賣家格雷瓜爾駕駛，機上載有雲南柏聯集團(Brilliant G roup)46歲總裁郝琳、郝琳的12歲兒子和一名翻譯員。事發前不久，郝琳剛代表柏聯集團完成了收購酒莊的交易，並舉行過慶祝活動與記者會。據報道，柏聯集團這次收購的是產酒名城波爾多的大河酒莊(Chateaude la Riviere)，是當地一個歷史悠久的知名酒莊。據稱，這是波爾多最大宗中國資金收購。參與了這次記者會的法新社攝影記者說，郝琳20日稍早時候介紹了收購計劃，其企業團隊並與酒莊原主人格雷瓜爾等人晚膳。晚餐過後，格雷瓜爾準備帶郝琳搭乘直升機視察占地65公頃的酒莊，郝琳與兒子登機，妻子兼柏聯集團董事長劉湘雲在最後關頭表示“害怕儲存升機”而沒有隨行。酒莊職員在20分鐘之後發現他們仍未回航，於是報警。當局隨後證實直升機墜入多爾多涅河，並開展搜救。法新社記者說，事發前格雷瓜爾執行了例行的起飛前檢查。中國駐法國大使館說，領事部主任已經率領隊伍前往現場處理事故。中國香港入境處21日亦表示已接獲相關求助，並得知使館方面已和家屬取得聯繫。中新富商其人“他是滇商的一面旗幟”46歲的柏聯集團總裁郝琳，還是金控基金董事長。柏聯集團在他和夫人劉湘雲18年的耕耘下，打造出了雲南獨樹一幟的商業旗艦，相繼打造出柏聯廣場，帶動三市街成為昆明第一商業商圈，“中國第一魅力名鎮”和順古鎮、亞洲第一SPA溫泉柏聯陽宗海SPA溫泉等精品，特別是在國際酒店行業中佔有一席之地。“他是滇商的一面旗幟”，這是在與雲南多位領頭的企業家的交流中，被提及最多的一句話。今年，雲南省工商聯的多位知名企業家準備發起一隻基金，基於多年的信任，郝琳被推選為基金董事長。自1995年成立，柏聯集團現已成為一家大型的跨行業、多元化發展的企業集團，其產業涉足房地產開發、旅遊文化、商業百貨、酒店業、茶產業等行業。 據《雲南信息報》迷你倉

楚天都市報訊 本報記者郭姍姍2014年的放假安排時間表已經正式出爐。由於元旦正逢星期三，倉不予調休，明年元旦放假時間僅有一天。網上假期安排討論最熱鬧的主題“一天的元旦怎麼過？”超過六成的網友表示會放棄出遠門，選擇城區游。受此影響，旅行公司出城生意明顯減少，而市內景點游預計可能出現爆棚現象。六成網友市內打轉“元旦休息一天，再上兩天班又是周末，元旦就不准備去任何地方了。”白領小陳本來準備元旦去湖南玩一趟，但發現假期只有一天後改變了計劃：中午去父母家吃飯，下午逛街看電影，與平時周末沒什麼兩樣。這幾天，在論壇和微博上，網友熱烈討論著如何過好只有一天的元旦假期。大楚網一項調查顯示，3000多名網友參與調查，其中61%的網友稱將呆在市內；24%的網友稱因家不在武漢，會選擇回老家吃頓飯；而仍按照原計劃安排旅遊的人不到10%。“吃飯逛街，或者到市內的景區轉一轉，是元旦最輕鬆的度假方式。”許多網友留言說，一天時間雖然也可以到省內其他地方轉一轉，但往返自駕耗時近半天，時間上還是太趕。記者從三江溫泉、湯池溫泉、洪湖悅兮半島溫泉瞭解到，元旦當天門票均已售出大半，但與以往不同的是，今年不少人只預訂了門票，不再預訂住宿，計劃著當天來回。部分出游者仍靠拼假記者在採訪中瞭解到，部分堅持出游的市民，為了實現“跨年游”而不得不想辦法請假、拼假。有市民說，今年自己的10天年假還沒有用完，如果把剩餘的年假用在12月30日、31日，就可以從1mini storage月28日周六開始一直休息到元旦，5天的時間足以出一趟門了。還有市民準備“預支”2014年的年假，即1月2日、3日，也可以形成一個5天的假期。拼接成5天的假期，武漢市民最愛去哪？途牛旅遊網監測數據顯示，截至12月17日，武漢市民元旦自助游線路中，香港地區以及韓國、日本等目的地自助游線路最受青睞，如“香港皇悅系列4日自助游”2800元左右，已經賣空。“拼假看起來很美，但在許多單位根本行不通。”吳先生是光穀一家IT企業的工程人員，無論是30日、31日的年底，還是2日、3日的年初，都是公司最忙的時候，這樣拼假肯定不被領導接受。市內景點或現爆棚“元旦的2日游、3日游產品基本賣不動，很多人選擇在公園、商場里轉悠。”湖北萬達新航線旅行社總經理謝宏稱，對旅行社來說，元旦旅遊市場確實受到重挫。但市內的公園、主題樂園等景區卻表現很樂觀。歡樂穀主題樂園稱，元旦當天園區內將有華中地區最大、最潮的“聖誕音樂節”，大門口還會派發2014份新年大禮，預計當天游園人數將突破2萬人。武漢市旅遊局預計，一天的假期會將大量市民留在武漢，市內景點遊客量會顯著增大，尤其是黃鶴樓、東湖、歡樂穀、楚河漢街、戶部巷的遊客會非常多。昨日記者從武漢多家旅行社瞭解到，元旦假期“三變一”，使外地來漢旅遊團減少一半以上，出境短途旅遊人數也銳減。對於假日調整，旅行社也在想辦法應對，嘉城國旅經理馬誠告訴記者，該旅行社準備重點推出單項服務，如出售溫泉、滑雪門票等。迷你倉

Source: The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.迷你倉Dec. 21--Momentum shifted like a whipsaw Saturday afternoon at Roos Field, and for once it was Eastern Washington that couldn't hold on.The Eagles couldn't hold a 10-point fourth-quarter lead, and even when it was over, couldn't grasp the reality of a 35-31 loss to Towson that for the second year in a row left them in the ditch on the last stretch of the road to Frisco, Texas.The players slumped back to the locker room, some with eyes welling, others slumping in their lockers, barely able to speak after missing out on a chance to play in the FCS championship game.Instead it will be Towson, which scored the winning touchdown with 17 seconds left, that will face two-time defending champion North Dakota State in the title game on Jan. 4 in Frisco."When you finish the season in a loser-go-home situation, the more it's going to hurt," Eastern coach Beau Baldwin said."Everybody in the locker room is hurting, but they should have their heads held high."By that, Baldwin meant the accomplishments of a 12-3 season that opened with a win over Oregon State of the Pac-12, was burnished with an unbeaten run through the Big Sky Conference and tarnished only the might-have-beens of the last 11 minutes of Saturday's game."We gave up some plays to some good football players," linebacker Cody McCarty said of the Eagles' third semifinal appearance in the last four years.Down three touchdowns in the second quarter, the Eagles dealt with adversity but couldn't handle prosperity on a chilly, foggy afternoon.After a Towson three-and-out late in the third quarter, the Eagles' Zach Wimberly blocked the punt, allowing Eastern Washington to take over on the Tigers' 23.Two plays later, Mario Brown went 5 yards for a touchdown as Eastern Washington took its first lead of the game, 24-21 with 1:36 left in the third quarter.Towson (13-2) stalled on its next possession, and quarterback Vernon Adams led the Eagles on their best drive of the game, a nine-play, 82-yard masterpiece capped by his 13-yard touchdown pass to Cory Mitchell with 11:55 to play.It was Adams' 55th touchdown pass of the season -- and his last, as it turned out.Towson backup quarterback Connor Frazie自存倉, who replaced injured starter Peter Athens in the second quarter, led a ground-pounding, 75-yard drive that consumed 15 plans and almost 7 minutes.By the time running back Terrance West scored on a 3-yard run, the Eagles had only to burn up the last 5 minutes.But the drive stalled, and Adams overthrew Cooper Kupp on fourth-and-2 at the Towson 29.With only 1:35, Frazier cut through the Eagle defense with ease, competing four straight passes to the Eagle 34. Five plays later, the Eagles forced a third-and-goal situation at the 1 with 19 seconds left. Towson called timeout, then Eastern did the same.Disdaining a tying field goal, the Tigers called on Frazier again, and he shoved his way into the end zone for the winning score.After the kickoff, Adams' desperation heave was intercepted by Christian Carpenter."I'm numb," Towson coach Rob Ambrose said. "It's a little surreal. I'm wet from the Gatorade. I love my kids and I'm so proud of them."Towson, which won its 12th straight road game, got off to a fast start, marching 75 yards down the wet, slippery field on its first possession, with Athens throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Holder for a 7-0 leadEastern moved down the field on its first possession, but receiver Kupp fumbled on Towson's 12 and the Tigers recovered. Derrick Joseph caught passes for 50 and 16 yards for Towson, and West dove over from the 1-yard line for a 14-0 lead. It was West's FCS-record 40th touchdown of the season, 39th on the ground.After a pair of EWU punts, Towson drove 91 yards in seven plays to take a 21-0 lead.Eastern finally scored when Adams threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Quincy Forte midway through the second quarter.Towson fumbled on its next possession and Eastern Washington's Will Katoa recovered on his own 36. Starting with 2 minutes left in the half, the Eagles drove to the 1, but time expired when Adams was stopped while trying to run into the end zone.Adams threw for 394 yards and two touchdowns for Eastern Washington, which outgained the Tigers 580 yards to 483.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.)

Source: The Miami HeraldDec.文件倉 21--MAYVILLE, N.D. -- Editor's note: An enhanced version of this story is available here.It was the kind of cold they could feel in their bones, made worse by 30-mile-per-hour winds that barreled across the North Dakota plains and whipped between the goal posts."At some point, you are going to walk out there, and your body is going to say "I'm cold,'" their coach had warned before kickoff. "Your body is going to try to say, "I can't do this right now.' You ignore that. You ignore that, understood?""Yes, sir!" they replied in chorus with their teammates.But what did four kids from Liberty City know about playing football in freezing temperatures?When Rashad Flanders, Jerrill Jenkins, John Lamour and Dantrel Horne played for Miami Northwestern Senior High, their games were held on sticky Friday nights before thousands of fans. Sometimes, beads of sweat covered their skin well before the whistle blew.That changed three seasons ago. Fate and football scholarships had ferried them to a 1,000-student college in rural North Dakota called Mayville State, where few fans filled the seats on mostly frigid Saturday afternoons.The transition from the electric streets of Miami to the rolling cornfields of Mayville had been wrought with uncertainty. Everything was different: the sub-zero temperatures, the way people spoke, the few black faces on campus. It was enough to make the South Florida kids feel out of place -- and contemplate returning home for good.But on this frozen November afternoon, as the Mayville State football team stood poised to win the conference championship for the first time since 1990, the decision to come here was all worth it.A TICKET OUTLike the other boys in the sprawling Liberty City housing project known as Pork "n' Beans, Jerrill Jenkins was used to the pop-pop-popping of gun shots after dark. Once, a stray bullet had shattered the window of his mother's car. Jerrill hardly stirred.A quiet and thoughtful boy, Jerrill preferred the quiet of his bedroom to the chaos of the street corner. Still, Wanda Jenkins feared her youngest son would fall victim to the dope dealers. To keep him out of trouble, she kept him busy with football and baseball.Rashad Flanders's mother faced a similar quandary. She worried the boy would take after his father, who was serving time for drug trafficking and robbery. Instead, Rashad joined the 5,000 Role Models of Excellence mentoring program. He preferred to spend evenings and weekends at home, helping his mother and looking after his younger siblings, Terrence Jr. and Raven. Even football was a family affair. Rashad, a talented cornerback, made big plays to make his mother proud.Rashad and Jerrill became close friends in a sophomore-year science class at Northwestern High. Their personalities were natural compliments. Rashad cracked jokes in the classroom and carried himself with confidence. Jerrill was easy going and rarely spoke up.Outside of school, the boys forged a bond over football. Together, they worshiped the holy trinity of Liberty City teams: the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Hurricanes and the Northwestern Bulls.Both were selected for Northwestern's varsity squad as juniors. Winning a slot on the team was about more than football. It was about becoming part of a tradition that claimed a mythical national championship in 2007 and regularly launched players to Division I universities and the NFL.Their quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, was courted by some of nation's top college football programs. Rashad and Jerrill fantasized about attending the University of Miami, or maybe LSU. They were sure the recruiters would call.But with signing day rapidly approaching, neither Rashad nor Jerrill had firm offers in hand.An assistant football coach 2,080 miles away was about to change their lives.THE RECRUITERNathaniel Gill needed to make a splash in his second year as an assistant coach at Mayville State University. Recruiting, he decided, was a fine place to start.Gill visited the regional high schools that regularly fed into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, in which Mayville State competes. But he wasn't finding the talent he needed.One afternoon, as Gill surfed recruiting websites from his office, a cramped loft above the weight room, he stumbled upon a profile for Neville Robinson, an offensive lineman at Miami's Northwestern Senior High.Gill knew Northwestern was among the country's top high-school programs. He also knew that landing a Northwestern player wasn't impossible. At powerhouse high schools, the elite players would be scooped up by top National Collegiate Athletic Association schools like Alabama and Ohio State. But solid athletes were often overlooked -- and ripe for recruiting by smaller programs.Gill was blunt in his pitch to Neville. With just 1,800 people, the entire town of Mayville was roughly the size of Northwestern High. The crowds attending Mayville State football games would be far smaller than those that packed into Nathaniel "Traz" Powell Stadium to watch Northwestern play Miami Jackson Senior High for the annual Soul Bowl.But Gill gave Neville a reason to consider Mayville: He would get a partial college scholarship, and have the opportunity to play football at the next level.Neville accepted -- and spread the word among his teammates.Both Rashad and Jerrill, a running back, were interested. The week of signing day, Gill offered each a partial scholarship.Two other Northwestern players followed: defensive backs Shawn Collier and John Lamour.It was an unprecedented get for Mayville, and for Gill as an assistant coach.But the work was just beginning. Gill was sure the guys from Miami would be prepared to compete at a collegiate level. Preparing them for life in North Dakota, however, was a separate task.Thankfully, Gill could relate.When he had been recruited to play football for Mayville State in 2005, he had left his home in a predominantly black neighborhood in Houston. Adjusting to North Dakota had taken time, but Gill had been named team captain his senior year and graduated with a bachelor's degree in physical education.After the Miami players accepted, Gill began sending them weekly text messages. Once summer started, he made sure they stuck to their workout regimes. He made regular calls to their mothers, too.When the players arrived at the airport in Fargo, Gill was waiting with a van.SECRET WEAPONThe players from Miami ventured to North Dakota in three separate trips.John Lamour and Shawn Collier were first to land, stepping off the plane in heavy winter coats. Gill chuckled when he saw them. He must have forgotten to mention that summer temperatures in North Dakota soared into the 90s.Rashad and Jerrill followed on a separate flight. Neville came later that night.Leaving Miami had been particularly difficult for Rashad. Just before the holidays, his mother had lost her Miami-Dade County job and the family was evicted. Tiesha Thomas found a new position with the county, but was diagnosed with lung cancer the following month.On the day Rashad departed for North Dakota, both mother and son cried at the airport.Jerrill was quiet for most of the plane ride. He fixated on a single thought: His life was about to become wildly different.The boys were relieved to see Gill at the Fargo airport. Conversation flowed easily during the 55-mile drive to the Mayville State campus. But there were moments when the young men from Miami stared out the window silently, awestruck by the green-and-golden cornfields and vast cobalt sky.Mayville was not what they were expecting. It called to mind a Western frontier town. Some of the imposing brick buildings dated back to the late 1800s.The downtown was a single intersection. The only fast-food joint was a nearby Subway sandwich shop tucked into a gas station.But there was little time to contemplate the change in scenery.Mayville State's football team had gone 2-8 last year, and hadn't had a winning record since 1991. The new head coach, former Mayville State linebacker Derek Schlieve, was determined to improve the program.The players from Miami were his secret weapons.MIAMI SWAGBefore the season started, Rashad told The Grand Forks Herald newspaper that he and the other players from Miami would turn around the Mayville State football program.A copy of the article found its way to the bulletin board by the weight room. It infuriated sophomore cornerback Dylan Midstokke."I don't like this kid," Dylan told a teammate.The Miami guys had the same bravado on the field. They played a fast, physical game peppered with smack talk, even in scrimmages against their own teammates. They acted like conference champs, despite last year's abysmal record.Coach Schlieve took note. Theirs was a confidence that bordered on arrogance, and something most coaches from the Midwest wouldn't tolerate. He would have to teach the players to rein it in.Off the field, the players from Miami isolated themselves.They stood out at Mayville State, where 80 percent of students were white. Few other students on campus shared their taste for flat-brimmed baseball caps and neon Air Jordans. And only a handful could understand their fast-paced speech and Miami slang. In Miami, "safe" and "nafe" were substitutes for "yes" and "no," and "bruh" was an acceptable greeting. In North Dakota, the words drew puzzled looks.The guys found North Dakota equally strange.Many of their classmates, professors and neighbors took an interest in hunting, and wore camouflage jackets around town. They spoke proper English with a singsong accent, and sometimes used bizarre expressions like "Uff-da."Before practice one afternoon, a local reporter asked the Miami players what they missed most about South Florida."Fried chicken, greens and watermelon," they shouted out, practically in unison.Coach Schlieve pulled the guys aside after the interview. He warned them against reinforcing stereotypes.Like it or not, he said, the guys from Miami were under a microscope."If you go out and do great things, you are going to be praised," Schlieve said. "But if you do something foolish, that's going to be multiplied, too."The football season opened with a thriller: a 21-18 victory over Robert Morris University.The Mayville State Comets barely lost their second game, only because Minnesota-Crookston scored a late field goal.In week three, they blew out Trinity Bible College by a score of 65-6.The Miami swag, it turned out, was infectious.Mayville finished the seas存倉n with a 5-6 record. The five wins were more than the team had tallied in the previous three seasons combined.It was good, but not good enough. The Northwestern players were used to championships, and they were determined to deliver.WINTER BLUESOnce the excitement of football season died down, the homesickness kicked in.The dorms could be lonely. Most weekends saw Mayville students return to their families in Grand Forks and Fargo.Jerrill struggled with the gray skies and bare trees. He called his mother almost daily. Sometimes, he thought about returning home to Miami for good. His mother wouldn't allow it.Two decades ago, Wanda Jenkins had gone away to Wiley College in Marshall, Texas. But she returned home to Miami quickly after her mother suffered a heart attack. Wanda Jenkins never earned her degree."God placed you at Mayville," she told her son over the phone. "You stay where you are and make your mark there."On the darkest and coldest nights, Gill had the guys over for dinner. He cooked spaghetti and tacos, and told them what Mayville was like when he was a student."It's not going to be easy," he advised one night. "But stick to it. I promise, the best is ahead."The winter brought new experiences. During the season's first snowfall, Rashad bolted outside in shorts and a T-shirt and pelted Jerrill in the face with a snowball. He had never held snow before. Surprisingly, it made his hands burn.The guys tasted venison. They watched ice hockey games. They bonded with their teammates over pizza and video games. Dylan, who was raised on a ranch in Idaho and never had a black classmate or friend, started picking up some of their slang.At the end of the year, Neville Robinson, the first Northwestern player to be recruited by Mayville State, withdrew from school and returned to Miami. Shawn Collier, who suffered a knee injury, also returned to South Florida.But Mayville picked up another Northwestern graduate: receiver Dantrel Horne, who transferred in from Concordia College, Selma. They called him "Stick" because of his 6-3, 185-pound frame.The magic remained intact. For the second year in a row, the Mayville State Comets finished the season with five wins and six losses.Suddenly, the boys from Miami were the big men on campus.Students started stopping by the Subway sandwich shop where Rashad worked to congratulate him on the season. The other guys were recognized in the streets, too. Invitations to parties followed.That Christmas, Tiesha Thomas couldn't wait to have Rashad home for the holidays. He made the trip, but didn't stay long.Almost as soon as he arrived in South Florida, Rashad was ready return to North Dakota. He talked incessantly about the football season, his classes, and his new girlfriend.His grandmother worried he had already forgotten his roots. But his mother understood."There's nothing for him here," Tiesha Thomas told her mother.This time, there were no tears at the airport when Rashad took off for Mayville.NO FEARThere are traces of Liberty City scattered throughout the dorm room Rashad shares with freshman quarterback Robbie Strand. His Northwestern practice jersey hangs above his bed. Stickers of his high-school mascot, a gold and royal blue bull, are proudly affixed to the walls.The focal point is Rashad's TV.Occasionally, the guys from Miami cram into his room to watch the Miami Hurricanes. Sometimes, they catch a Louisville game. The team's star quarterback is Teddy Bridgewater, who played with them at Northwestern.They watch with a mix of pride and envy. They wonder what it would be like to play at a Division I school with tens of thousands of screaming fans. Their football field in North Dakota accommodates about 3,000 spectators, and is dwarfed by surrounding farmland.Still, the guys are grateful to be where they are.There are little things they have come to appreciate. They can walk across campus in the dark without fear of being mugged. When they forget to lock the doors to their dorm rooms, nobody steals their belongings.On weekends, there are parties, and there are bars in Mayville and in the surrounding cities. The Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Forks is a favorite.Rashad likes the party scene. Jerrill does not.When Jerrill was a toddler, his mother would sometimes leave their home to get high. One restless night, Jerrill begged his mother to stay. She ignored his pleas -- but checked herself into a rehab facility the next day.Wanda Jenkins has stayed away from drugs since that day. Jerrill wants nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. He focuses on his classwork in business and accounting, and works at the Pizza Shop in town.On a Sunday afternoon in November, the guys meet at the Pizza Shop for large pepperoni pies and a pitcher of ice water.They talk and daydream about the future.Rashad, they tease, is most likely to spend the rest of his life in North Dakota. He is dating a classmate who grew up in North Dakota. He already spends much of his free time in Grand Forks with her and her family.Rashad laughs along, but conceals his real thoughts. He knows professional scouts have called to ask about him, and he's willing to go wherever the game will take him.Stick sees himself moving to Colorado. He likes the cold weather and relaxed culture. John says he would stay in North Dakota if the right job came around.Jerrill is the lone member of the group who wants to return to Miami. His goal is to open his own accounting firm. He also has a higher calling: to start a non-profit in the neighborhood where he was raised. The organization would provide mentoring for young men like himself, who grew up without a father.He considers the goal well within his reach. On Facebook, he calls himself Jerrill DreamChaser Jenkins.DON'T FLINCHSince the Northwestern players arrived, Mayville has become a destination for talented football players from Miami high schools.Earlier this year, South Dade Senior High graduate Keith Osgood transferred in from the University of Minnesota, Crookston. The team also picked up two new recruits from Miami Northwestern and three from Miami Jackson.The 2013 season started slowly.In the opener against Midland University, Jerrill rushed for 86 yards and scored three touchdowns. But he cramped up and missed most of the fourth quarter. Mayville lost 31-27.The Comets lost their second game, too, played at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.But they picked up a key win against Haskell University, a game that saw Jerrill rush for 148 yards and score two touchdowns. One week later, Mayville blew out the Cole College Jaguars by a score of 46-0.On homecoming weekend, Mavyille beat cross-town rival Valley City State. It was the first time the team overcame Valley City since 1998.The win was especially sweet for Jerrill. His mother Wanda had made the trip from Miami. She watched the game embedded in the cheerleaders.Before long, the conference championship was within reach. If the Comets could win the last game of the season, they would share the title with the University of Jamestown.Their opponent: a revenge-seeking Valley City State.Valley had more than pride on the line. It, too, could secure a share of the conference championship with a win.Before the game, played at Valley's home stadium, the temperature dropped below 30 degrees, with the wind chill sending the thermometer even lower. Only four blanket-wrapped fans took part in the tailgate. They hovered around a hot pot of chili.Mayville fans cheered the team from Miami."Good morning friends, family members and prayer warriors!" Wanda Jenkins posted to her Facebook page. "Let's send our prayers up to the Mayville State Comets as they board the buses for the ride of a lifetime: the conference title, bragging rights and that ring!"Jerrill shivered when he stepped off the bus. He had opted against wearing a long-sleeve undershirt out of fear the ball would slip from his arms. He regretted the decision immediately.Before kickoff, Rashad prayed for strength.Jerrill recited his usual prayer, asking God to keep him and his teammates free from injuries, and giving thanks for the opportunity to play.Valley City was first to score. At the half, they were up 17-0.Coach Schlieve gathered his players in a nearby building to keep them out of the wind."We gotta grind it out, the same way we did the season," Schlieve said. "It didn't start pretty, but we're here. Don't flinch, fellas. Don't flinch."The Comets scored a touchdown in the third quarter. But they couldn't stop Valley City running back Derek Elliott, a homegrown talent who tied a school record with 286 yards rushing.The final score was 37-12.When the last whistle blew, nearly all of the Mayville fans had retreated to the warmth of their cars. Schlieve directed his players to take a knee in the end zone."We need to keep our heads high," the coach told them. "We have to stay classy. You might be tempted not to go to class, not to do the little things. You gotta ignore it."The team, Schlieve said, had made history by posting a 7-4 season."This will be one of the things that shape you," he said, searching for the words to inspire the young men. "You will go on to do great things."On the bus ride back to Mayville, Rashad and Jerrill were frustrated by the idle chatter among their teammates. Both sat silently, reflecting on the loss.They pledged to make next season -- their last at Mayville State -- end differently.QUIET NIGHTThe victory party scheduled for that night was canceled. The streets of downtown Mayville were cold and desolate.Jerrill, Rashad and Rashad's girlfriend, Emily Jo Severson, sat alone at the pizza shop/video store in town. They flipped on the television, only to catch the University of Miami Hurricanes losing to Virginia Tech.Rashad and Emily shared a mint Oreo milkshake. Jerrill exchanged text messages with his mother, who tried to console the boys on Facebook."To my Mayville State Comets: I love you in spite of anything. Win or lose, we are still family.""To the #1 man in my life, Jerrill Jenkins: I over love you, man. Keep your head up, head up. There's always next year."Later in the night, Rashad and Emily met some friends at a bar. Jerrill went home and watched a movie.Outside, snow flurries fell from the dark skies over the North Dakota plains.This story was reported based on multiple interviews with the players, their families and their coaches beginning in 2011.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存
