　李明浩對自動售賣機的興趣緣起於對遊戲機商業模型的�迷。「在遊戲機上，儲存玩夠一定分數，它會自動送你過下一關，還會返給你點券可以兌換禮品。我的靈感就是這個模型。」李明浩認為利用這個模型做產品，用戶可能獲得更多免費資源，而不耗費成本。他認為最適合這個模型的就是自動售賣機。同時，和王濱一樣，李明浩也是互聯網人，從新浪到中國移動，學電子出身的他一直在互聯網領域研習。因此李對自動售賣機的理解也並非站在傳統零售市場維度上。2010年底，王濱如約看到李手工打造的新一代自動售賣機概念機，並決定投入500萬元人民幣與李創辦了友寶。撬動B、C點需求「最終打動我的是3G模塊，自動售賣機一旦聯網，加上一塊屏幕能做的事情就太多了。」王濱坦言。不過，這不像互聯網項目可以輕鬆獲得百萬用戶，自動售賣機是自下而上，真正實現規模發揮互聯網的效用，需要有漫長而艱難的過程去一一佈點。業內按照銷售額把點位分為ABC三類，例如勞動密集型的工廠就是第一類，擁有固定消費人群且封閉式場所，如大學就是B類，寫字樓、經濟型酒店、地鐵站等公共場所就是C類。經歷近五年的競爭，A類點位早已被「佔滿」，剩下的不是較難發現就是難以進入，留給後來者的多數是C類點位。李明浩的計劃是首先用最穩定的機器和產品佔據市場，之後用「秘密武器」撬動B和C點位的需求。這個秘密武器正是調試中的冷鏈和熱鏈設備，迷你倉寶已開始在部分寫字樓售賣永和大王、真功夫等製作的盒飯，每天線上供應的品牌有五六家，便當種類更是超過60種。李明浩告訴記者，今年冬季來臨前，熱鏈設備將會完成量產，進駐寫字樓。而冷鏈設備如果可以穩定運行，也會為友寶打開酸奶、水果甚至涼皮等餐飲市場。在支付環節，友寶已打通在線支付，並成為微信支付第一批客戶，他們還與支付寶一起利用超聲波技術研發出離線支付。目前，友寶正和移動運營商、銀行、航空公司接洽積分兌換業務，希望打通一個客戶積分兌換渠道，用戶可以用其他機構的商城積分在友寶界面上購買貨品。借力移動支付友寶也是第一個實現「盒子」概念的企業，用戶用積分購買的商品可以在最近地鐵站的盒子中取到貨物。在傳統概念中，由於地鐵站租金高，人群停留時間短，除營銷廣告價值，自動售賣機在其中很少能實現銷售盈利，而友寶則希望通過積分兌換業務激活C點位的零售功能。自動售賣機能夠連接用戶手機，刺激用戶使用移動支付是李明浩最想看到的，他今年的目標之一就是在線業務實現盈利，廣告收入超過2,000萬元人民幣。 「過去的一段時間，我們實際在做減法。」王濱告訴記者，在他們的設備上買電影票、繳費充值都可以實現，但是他們必須選擇一個最適合友寶的戰略方向。這個重金打造的傳統終端更像是互聯網的實體「入口」，他究竟何時能實現線上業務的盈利，李明浩透露年內或可見分曉。整合/記者 徐琳mini storage

Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.self storage 21--Labrador retrievers and other big dogs joyfully plunged into the pool in Crafton Park and took long, sure strokes to swim endless laps in the deep end at the first Doggie Paddle last Sunday.A miniature poodle named Lucy daintily waded into the shallow end, wagged her tail and walked around, greeting and meeting other dogs and their people. After a rather brief dip, she got out, dried off and donned a peachy-orange sweater with brown trim.For the next two hours Lucy sedately trotted around on the paved pool deck and the grassy beach area. The 9-pound dog was not the least bit intimidated by the 105 other dogs whose owners paid $10 for their dogs to swim, run and raise money for renovations to the 60-year-old pool.Although she's not much of a swimmer, Lucy has come a long way from a horrific beginning. In February 2010, she was one of 30 dogs rescued from a small unheated trailer in Greene County. Some dogs had wounds from fighting each other, and others had died. The dogs were rescued by the Humane Society of Greene County, and Animal Friends took 12 of them to their Ohio Township shelter.On Feb. 20, 2010, Pam Palchowski of Crafton and her daughter, Angela, then 15, went to Animal Friends looking for a little dog that would enjoy cuddling with them. A shy little poodle that volunteers had named Taquitos was brought out to meet them. Because her long apricot hair had been a solid matted mess when she was taken out of the trailer, the dog was basically bald, A complete shave-down was the only thing a groomer could do to make her look and feel better. Shelter workers thought she was 9 or 10 years old.Taquitos snuggled into Angela's lap, who gave her a new name, Lucy. The adoption was approved after a successful meeting with her father, Steve, and the family's Chow-Chow/shepherd mix, Biscuit.Rescuers warned that the "trailer dogs" might have psychological problems that could never be overcome, but Lucy settled in quickly. With love and patient socialization, she overcame years of poor care and neglect.Some dogs don't enjoy gatherings of large numbers of dogs and people -- even ones that have been loved and well cared for all of their lives. But Lucy clearly enjoyed it all and romped like a dog much younger."Why is she wearing Cleveland Browns colors?" a friend asked."It complements her apricot color and brings out her eyes," Mrs. Palchowski joked.For the record, Lucy has a Steelers jersey and many sweaters and outfits; she needs them to stay warm.迷你倉og lovers who have never seen large numbers of dogs swimming in public pools should mark their calendars for the next ones, including Labor Day swims at Dormont Pool and Mineral Beach in Finleyville. A number of people always show up without dogs because it's so much fun to watch. The Crafton Paddle will be held next year, perhaps on the weekend after Labor Day, said Jamie Beechey, director of borough services.A black Labrador retriever took a break from swimming and trotted over to the concession stand where volunteer Joanne Beechey was selling hot dogs and soft drinks for people and Milk Bones for dogs. The Lab put his paws on the counter like he belonged there, made eye contact with Mrs. Beechey and wagged his tail. When he didn't score a free treat, he politely returned to the pool.Dozens of pink, yellow and purple balls floated in the water, and dogs cheerfully shared them. Labs and goldens and other retrievers looked totally blissed out as they swam with balls in their mouths, returning them so they could retrieve them again.Miss Sarah, 6, enthusiastically retrieved balls for Ed Hanke of Robinson. A Boykin spaniel -- the breed resembles a cocker spaniel -- she's also a therapy dog and visits VA hospitals.Gladys Carlen walked from her house next door to the pool with Harley, 2, a red miniature dachshund. Although Harley's still in therapy dog training, she already visits hospice patients. After a brief wade in the baby pool, Ms. Carlen put a form-fitting T-shirt on the smooth-haired dog to keep her warm while they socialized.Walk for the animalsThe fourth annual Tails on the Trails Dog Walk is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next Saturday at the Harrison Hills Park, Laurel and Broken Branch groves.

Source: St.迷你倉 Louis Post-DispatchSept. 21--After one of the many hospital visits Cardinals closer Jason Motte made this summer to see a young friend battling cancer, his wife noticed how little he talked as he strapped their baby daughter into her car seat, how he hesitated when starting the car, how he moved with a different gravity, like he was carrying something new.A purpose can be heavy."When something is weighing on Jason, something inside, he doesn't say too much," said Caitlin Motte, recalling that moment. "He gets real quiet. His body language gives it away. It wasn't a great visit. You could see it weighing on him."It was like something changed in Jason."Motte and his family had spent time that day with Brandt Ballenger, an 8-year-old patient and fast friend who called Jason "Hobo." Brandt had little energy that day and fewer smiles as the cancer or the treatment to attack the cancer had exhausted him. His father, Jeff, said there were times like this, "when things had gone in a direction we didn't want them to go."The phrase itself is part of the coping, referring to cancer treatment like it's a map. As if wrong turns happen and only a little nudge from the GPS is needed to steer back on course and away from the destination no one discusses. Motte sat in the car about to leave the Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center parking lot and decided on the direction he had to go.His wife remembers how Jason didn't say much until he said something."I've got to do more."After several months of planning and prodding -- "He heard a lot of 'nos' before he got a 'yes,'" Caitlin said -- the launch of Motte's more arrives Monday with "Strikeout Childhood Cancer" at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals are selling discounted $10 pavilion tickets, $3 of which will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and then directly to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital to support pediatric cancer research.A total of 5,000 tickets have been held aside at the price; more will be offered if they sell out, an official said. At least 1,000 additional tickets will be given away to children currently in the hospital or recently discharged and their families. For the patients who cannot leave their hospitals, Motte plans to lead several teammates Monday morning on visits to, in his words, "take the game to them."Cardinals community relations director Mark Taylor called the pediatric cancer awareness day at the ballpark "our beta for what this day really could be."This is how a pitcher who cannot pitch spent his summer.Motte, who led the National League with 42 saves in 2012, will not throw an inning for the club this season. A ligament in his right elbow split during spring training, reconstructive surgery followed, and his year was over before it began. Only recently did rehab begin to include lightly tossing an actual baseball. That zeal he had to attack the ninth inning and fire fastballs at 100 mph has been rechanneled.Through chance meetings and social media, he befriended two young boys, Lane Goodwin and Brandt, and became part of their fights against cancer and campaigns for more awareness. The days he would have spent at some faraway ballpark with the Cardinals were instead spent with Brandt, playing Angry Birds, and throwing himself into phone calls and meetings and conversations to "help these families fighting for their children up in the hospital rooms know they're not alone," he said.At spring training, Motte chatted with several reporters about his frayed elbow and his lost season. He mentioned how his faith assured him the injury happened for a reason.He had no idea how right he was."The injury closed one door, but it opened so many others," Motte said. "This has had such a lasting effect on me. I had to make the most of this time. It makes it even more obvious I'm supposed to be doing something else. If you were to say to me, 'Hey, you don't need surgery, you could have 40 saves, do all this stuff and not meet Brandt, not know his family, not learn what I have' -- I would have the surgery all over again."STRIKING OUT CANCERBefore Motte met Brandt, something started with an iPod.Back in 2010, the year before Motte closed out the Cardinals' World Series championship, Jason and Caitlin loaded up an iPod with Mozart and Pachebel's Canon and other classical music for her grandfather, Lynn Doyle. "D," as everyone called him, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. The iPod was meant to be a companion during treatment -- that is, when Jason wasn't.With Doyle one day at the West Clinic in Memphis, Tenn., Motte saw a request for blankets. Blankets? He could donate blankets. But it wasn't that simple. The hospital couldn't accept actual blankets but sought charitable donations to purchase blankets. Motte asked around about organizing a drive. Caitlin recalled Doyle's advice: "Don't halfway throw a fundraiser."Within a year, the Mottes hosted a "Strike Out Cancer" auction. It took some time to organize -- Motte collected items during the 2012 season -- but in November 2012 they raised $37,000, all of it for the Wings Cancer Foundation."We got it started, and it led to other things," Motte said.One connection, one event led to several more. During the 2011 World Series, Motte flipped a ball from the bullpen to a boy he didn't know. Motte later found out the Cardinals fan from Kentucky was Lane, and he was battling an aggressive cancer. Motte signed the ball "Thumbs Up," a nod to the "Thumbs Up for Lane Goodwin" campaign on social media.The baseball-themed T-shirt company 108 Stitches had a red shirt printed with a backward "K," the universal symbol for a called strikeout. Motte asked about putting the word "cancer" underneath, and the shirt has spread through clubhouses. On Thursday, at least four Cardinals, including Matt Holliday and Chris Carpenter, wore their "K Cancer" shirts during pregame warm-ups. A portion of the sales from the T-shirt benefit the Jason Motte Foundation, itself an outgrowth of these connections Motte has made.There was no going halfway.DEALING WITH LOSSESBut along the way, there were losses. Doyle died Dec. 26, 2011, 11 months before the fundraiser he inspired happened. While Motte pitched two scoreless innings for a save in Game 3 of the 2012 National League championship series, his friend Lane died. Lane was 13. Through him, Motte had become more involved in the social media movement for cancer awareness, and it was on Twitter that he received a request.The 儲存倉ardinals closer was asked to make a "Team Brandt" poster to show support for a young Swansea boy who had been diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, Stage 4. Brandt was too small and the tumor too big for it to be removed when first diagnosed.Motte made the sign, but he also made it a point to keep tabs on Brandt.In early 2013, while Motte was in spring training, he saw on the Team Brandt Facebook page that Brandt's "Make-A-Wish" trip to Orlando, Fla., had been pushed up. No one needed to explain why. Motte reached out to the family and arranged to meet Brandt at a hotel in Orlando, on an off day for Cardinals' workouts. The families clicked.Brandt filched Caitlin's phone and started taking selfies, which Motte still has on his phone. Brandt tugged on Motte's beard. Motte learned all about Brandt's duel with cancer. Halfway through his first rounds of treatment, Brandt's family learned the tumor had an increased resistance to chemotherapy. Instead of "being six months from being done, we started over and had 18 months to go," Jeff Ballenger said. During spring, new nodules had formed in his lungs."The cancer," Jeff said, recalling that day, "was back."Motte heard all about the day they first learned Brandt had cancer -- Oct. 29, 2011. Motte knew it well. It was the day after the Cardinals won the World Series."After the World Series, you're thinking, 'I am the man. I am on top of the world. I friggin' won the World Series, and this is the greatest thing ever,'" Motte said. "A day later, up the street five minutes, there is someone finding out that their child has cancer. This is happening on a daily basis. On a daily basis families are finding out the worst news they ever could get about their 8-year-old son."That's when it hits you."ONE LIFE IMPACTING ANOTHERWhen Motte met with Brandt, there was usually an iPad.Brandt went through several of them during his treatment, filling one tablet up and needing one with more memory until he had the largest available. He loved dinosaurs and had "Jurassic Park" movies loaded on his iPad. Swiping his way through page after page of Brandt's apps, Motte laughed one day when he pointed out that 250 needed updating. The iPad was more than a pastime, it was a hint to Brandt's comfort: If it sat ignored, his parents knew he was having a rough day.Motte visited Brandt in the hospital or at home or after rehab sessions. He brought Brandt on the truck ride around Busch Stadium on opening day, and Brandt counted the signs for him and noticed none for Motte. They don't make posters for injured pitchers, Motte told him.Brandt, quick to remind people "don't forget the 'D'" in his name, was shy when meeting new people, but precocious around ones he knew. He called Motte "Hobo" because of how scruffy and disheveled the pitcher's drivers license looked."Brandt had this huge impact on my life," Motte said. "It wasn't just, 'Hey, go see the kid in the hospital.' It's not, hand over a teddy bear, OK, sweet man, shake hands, smile, and then go to the park and, 'OK, let's get some outs!' This was a friendship that followed me. It's something that just stuck with me. I think of him now on a daily basis."At one point during his treatment, Brandt entered clinical trials but, as his father said, there weren't many to choose from for children. Dr. William Ferguson, medical director at the Bob Costas Cancer Center, explained in an email that children have "many fewer cases of cancer, fewer clinical trials, less funding, but (a) higher rate of access and participation" than adults. The less funding for research struck Motte.Major League Baseball has breast cancer awareness on Mother's Day with pink ribbons and pink bats at the ballpark. On Father's Day, teams wear light blue ribbons and use blue bats for prostate cancer awareness. Motte approached baseball about a day for gold ribbons, the symbol of childhood cancer awareness. The process was slow. He understood "every day would have a ribbon" if baseball responded to every player's cause. The Cardinals responded to his. Starting around the All-Star break, Motte pushed for Monday's event.Nothing halfway.SAYING GOODBYEWhile he organized awareness day at Busch, Motte also planned a June birthday party for Brandt. Listening to the two talk about it, Brandt's parents weren't sure he would make it as his health worsened, "but we never told Jason," Jeff said. The 9th birthday party happened, at Dave & Buster's. Brandt rallied. The iPad was back in his grasp. But within a month he would play it less and less. On July 23, Motte was parking at Busch Stadium, on time for another rehab workout, when he received a text messages from the Ballengers.It said if he wanted to remember Brandt the way he was a few days before, they understood. If he wanted to say his goodbyes, he should come to the hospital.Motte walked away from his rehab and drove straight to Brandt.His friend died 30 minutes after their last visit.Back in their car, driving home from Brandt's funeral, Motte and his wife talked about how they filled their time without baseball this summer, how his elbow giving out allowed him to give of his heart. He told a coach recently that he's eager to see what happens when he's ready to pitch because he has a deeper sense "of the kid out there who hangs on every strike and how this is who you play for."This weekend he'll volunteer at a fundraiser for Lane's foundation and on Sunday night sign autographs at Fizzy's Soda Fountain in Webster Groves to benefit Friends of Kids with Cancer. Only in the past couple weeks did he contract the Goodwins and Ballengers and invite them to Monday's game -- the first of what he hopes are many to honor their sons.It has turned into a memorial.It will remain a mission."If he had never gotten hurt, he would have never met this little boy, never been touched by these boys' lives," Caitlin said. "He believed there was a reason it happened. God had a plan for him and started filling in the gaps. ... The word I keep coming back to is perspective. He's wanted to play baseball since he was 3 years old. Baseball has always been his path. But when it's time to put the ball down, there is another path out there for him. He didn't know it existed.

人類一直對那片廣袤神秘的星空充滿好奇，迷你倉幾乎每種文化中，都有飛天的神話傳說，但人類真正飛出地球、進入太空，卻只有半個世紀的歷史。除月球之外，人類對其他星球的探索也在不斷深入。迄今為止，人類已經向太陽系所有行星（除地球外）發射了探測器。探測器主要通過四種方式探測行星，即飛掠行星拍攝照片、在行星表面硬著陸、繞行星飛行以及在行星上軟著陸。月球群雄逐月鏖戰太空月球是地球最近的鄰居，人類對其探索也開始得最早。1959年前蘇聯發射了“月球1號”探測器，成為月球最早的探路者。冷戰期間，登月是美俄角力的另一競技場，盡管在探測器上落後一步，但阿姆斯特朗登月令美國扳回了一局。從上世紀60年代到70年代，人類六次登上月球，三次通過無人登月探測器抵達月球，採集了大量月球岩石和土壤，通過對這些樣品的分析和研究，人類對這個鄰居的認識越來越豐富了。此後人們對月球的探索沉寂了一段時期，90年代人們的目光又轉向了月球，這時有更多的國家加入了探月的隊伍。1990年，日本發射了一枚航天器，並將一個小探測器放入月球軌道。美國也發射了“克萊門汀”號無人駕駛飛船和“月球勘探者”探測器。到了2003年，歐洲首個月球探測器“智能1號”成功升空，並于2004年底抵達月球上空的近月軌道。此後，它按計劃完成了撞擊月球的任務，撞擊產生的塵埃將有助于科學家解開月球起源之謎。2007年，中日兩國均發射了本國的月球探測器，分別是“嫦娥一號”和“月亮女神”。印度隨後也加入探月行列，2008年首個月球探測器“月船1號”發射升空。德國也打算在2013年實施自己的第一個探月項目“月球探索軌道器”。金星美蘇探測器多次失敗人類對其他行星的探索始于地球近鄰——金星。早在1960年，美國就向金星發射“先驅者5號”探測器，但這次任務因電池故障而失敗。前蘇聯也從1961年起連續向金星發射探測器，直到1966年發射的“金星3號”才成功著陸金星表面。由於金星環境比預想得更惡劣，“金星3號”的通訊系統失效未能發回探測結果。首次向地球傳回金星表面溫度等數據的探測器是1970年發射的“金星7號”，它在同年實現在金星軟著陸。迄今為止，人類已經向金星發了46枚探測器，其中成功飛掠11次，成功環繞1次，成功著陸7次。天王星、海王星美探測器一枝獨秀天王星的很多表面資料是經由望遠鏡觀測而得到，有關它的衛星、行星環數量則由唯一飛掠天王星的旅行者2號所得到。這艘由美國國家宇航局（NASA）1977年發射的無人星際航天器在1986年經過天王星，于1989年飛越海王星，成為唯一一枚造訪這兩個行星的航天器，該探測器發現海王星的6顆新衛星，以及海王星有5條光環。木星探測器給木星“體檢”木星是太陽系體積最大的行星，美國“先驅者10號”和“先驅者11號”探測器是人類探索木星最早的使者。1972年發射的“先驅者10號”于次年與木星相會，飛掠木星並拍攝了第1張木星照片。人類一共向木星發射了10枚探測器，這些探測器多以飛掠和環繞為主，其中最著名的是“伽利略”號。從1995年到2003年，在圍繞木星系統運行期間，“伽利略”號木星探測器為木星做了一次“身體檢查”，獲取大量珍貴資料。2010年8月，NASA又發射“朱諾”號探測器，將在2016年到達軌道，在穿越木星兩極的極軌道間運行，以獲得更多有價值的圖像。水星鮮有探測器光臨與火星和木星相比，人類對水星稍顯冷落。迄今為止，人類只向這顆太陽系最小的行星派出兩枚探測器——1974年的“水手10號”和2004年的“信使”號，均由NASA儲存倉射。由於表現出色，“信使”號探測器原定于2012年結束的使命將延長到2013年。肩負著探索水星表面和內部情況的“信使”號已經成為第一枚圍繞水星軌道運行的人造太空器。火星明星探測器的搖籃就在人類剛有能力掙脫地球引力飛向太空時，首枚火星探測器也上路了。1960年，前蘇聯向火星發射第一枚探測器。四天後，第二枚火星探測器升空，然而它們卻連繞地球軌道都沒能到達。上世紀60年代，前蘇聯共發射7枚火星探測器，全以失敗告終。上世紀60年代，美國也加緊探索火星，發射了“水手3號”和“水手4號”探測器，後者是首枚成功到達火星並發回數據的探測器。迄今為止，全球共進行46次火星探測計劃，僅10次成功登陸，包括美國的“機遇號”和“勇氣號”，雖然如此，一個有趣的現象是，火星探測器中出了很多明星，最當紅的當屬“好奇號”。2012年“好奇號”是人類對火星最“沉重”一吻，因為“好奇號”重達900多公斤，有SVU汽車大小，這樣體型龐大的火星車登陸火星在人類史上還是頭一次。“好奇號”將在火星上工作兩年，探尋火星上維持生命的可能性。“好奇號”要克服的難題之多，連美國國家宇航局（NASA）官員都感嘆，“這是NASA有史以來所有的機器人行星探測計劃中最艱難的一次。”為了讓“好奇號”安全降落火星，NASA工程師借助西門子的產品生命周期管理軟件對火星探測器進行數字化設計、模擬和虛擬組裝，有助于確保探測器能經受火星任何環境的考驗。■ 哪些技術助力探測器模塊化讓發射更簡單NASA的月球大氣與塵埃環境探測器（LADEE）今年9月升空，主要目標是在月球環境未被探月活動進一步擾動前探索月球大氣的整體密和變化狀況等，以及月球塵埃對探測器的影響程度。LADEE探測器的設計進行巨大創新，採用模塊化設計，有效降低預算和飛行器的體積，並成功縮短了從設計到發射的時間。LADEE大小與小轎車差不多，所需動力相當于5個60瓦燈泡。或許此後，若要發射不同功能的探測器只需將不同功能模塊組合即可發射，將大大推動人類探索太空能力。核聚變動力推進火箭目前執行行星探索任務的飛行器大都使用大氣制動，即利用其他行星大氣的摩擦力節省推進劑,研究人員正試圖對此進行突破。NASA正在研發核聚變推進火箭（FDR）。FDR為一台150噸級火箭，利用磁場擠壓由鋰或鋁制成的金屬內圈來包裹氘和氚制成的核聚變燃料小丸，從而點燃核聚變反應。聚變反應在幾微秒內發生並將推進物質以30公里/秒的速度噴射出去，並可以達到約每分鐘點火一次以產生均勻的推力，避免突然的加速度對宇航員造成傷害。運用FDR的飛行器幾乎不需要依賴大氣制動。NASA預計2020年在飛行器上進行使用。軟件模擬外星環境借助精進的電腦技術，科學家可以在設計環節即考慮到探測器面臨的各種問題，從而進行設計、分析與製造之間的無縫銜接，“好奇號”就是這樣製作出來的。價值25億美元的“好奇號”要是在著陸時撞上火星後果不堪設想，讓“好奇號”順利著陸的幕後英雄便是西門子公司的軟件設計平台。西門子公司公關部門人員對新京報記者介紹稱，NASA在設計“好奇號”火星車時，採用了該公司提供的NX軟件設計平台，模擬好奇號可能在火星上碰到的各種問題，特別是著陸時的驚險7分鐘，要從2.1萬公里/小時的高速減至2公里/小時以下的著陸速度，西門子的軟件平台成功模擬了探測器進入火星大氣層時可能會遇到的多種物理影響，進行8000次模擬著陸，確保著陸時不會碰撞損傷“好奇號”攜帶的精密儀器。B04-B05版採寫、資料整理/新京報記者 高美 韓旭陽迷你倉

Source: The Porterville Recorder, Calif.迷你倉最平Sept. 20--Lt. Tom Sigley and his team of marijuana busters are going six days a week this summer to keep up with the huge number of illegal grow sites in the county.It is marijuana growing season and the hard work is really just beginning.So far this summer, deputies with the sheriff's department's Special Tactics Enforcement Patrol have pulled up 220,742 plants -- as of last week. That is already nearly as many as they dug up all of last summer and the busy time of the year is just beginning.Last Thursday, the team pulled up more than 100 plants at a residence on West North Grand Avenue near Porterville."Some of those were 12-feet tall," noted Sigley, who has been heading up the special detail for more than three years. While many of the plants destroyed so far have been much smaller than 12-feet, he said they will now regularly find plants that size and larger. That is because the end of the growing season is near and plants are nearing peak sizes, which can mean 20-feet tall with trunks like trees, not weeds.Fifth District Supervisor Mike Ennis likes to use the word "hammer" when he talks about the county's effort against the marijuana growers."They [growers] know we're here for sure," said Ennis.It was two years ago that a definite shift took place from growing marijuana in the foothills and mountains to growing it on the Valley floor. Last year, deputies took down several large grow sites, many around Porterville and Terra Bella and some with more than 2,000 plants. This year, the grow sites appear to be a little smaller, but the gardens are plentiful."It hasn't shifted, just gotten worse. In past they tried to hide behind the medical [cards]. This year they're doing both."He expects this year's haul to surpass last year's.Ennis said he has gotten numerous calls from residents, many in the Terra Bella area, of suspected grow sites. He estimates he has followed up on more than 30 gardens this year. He did say the number of calls are not as many as last summer.Sequoia National Forest Supervisor Kevin Elliott said more than 70,000 plants have been taken out of the national forest above Porterville this year, more than last year. He said it does not appear the drought has had a big impact, but Sigley said they are running across a few abandoned grow sites in the mountains where they ran out of water and let the plants die.It was at a large grow site above Springville that a well-known volunteer was killed Thursday during a reclamation project to clean up that site. Seth Krogen with the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew died when he fell from a helicopter above the site that officials said was littered with chemicals and other garbage.Sigley said his eight-man crew is sometimes going six days and the challenge to keep up is daunting. So far, they have hit 116 grow sites, 100 of those on private land and the remaining in the forest, so far this year. Of the plants seized, it is about a 50-50 split."We've been busting four or five a week," he said, adding it will take longer now to clear a grow site because the plants are getting bigger.Sigley said most of the gardens on the Valley floor have been 700 t迷你倉 900 plants in size, but they took 4,900 plants out of one of the mountain grow sites."I think they're spreading those out," he said of the tactics seem to be taken by growers this year.Growers are bound by both the laws stated in the Compassionate Care Act and county zoning laws. The act limits the number of plants a person can grow based on what are called "recommends," which are letters from doctors giving the person the permission to grow, normally, no more than 99 plants. However, the county has placed strict zoning ordinances on grow sites, requiring them to be indoors, secured, and only in industrial zones, not in ag areas."You can't grow it except in industrial zoned areas," stressed Ennis.Sigley said if they visit a grow site and it is under the 99 plant limit, but not in a properly zoned area, the case is turned over to the county code enforcement department and abatement procedures are begun. If the owner does not remove the plants, the sheriff's department gets involved again.Growers of marijuana face not only prison time, they can also be fined for every day they are out of zoning compliance and that can become very costly. Although seldom used, authorities can also seize property if the owner does not comply, which Ennis said might occur on a recent bust in the Terra Bella area where those growers might face federal charges as well.The supervisor said those who are growing pot in violation of county zoning laws are given 10 days to take down the garden. If they don't comply, they can face a fine of $100 a day for every plant."There is some property where they owe us as much as $800,000," he said.Sigley said deputies have only walked away from a handful of gardens that did meet part of the law, but all have at least violated the zoning laws."I don't think we've found one yet that meets all the laws," he said.There is no one area more prone to the growing. "It's spread out everywhere. We have to prioritize and hit them when we can."He said he knows some residents who call in a site get frustrated when they don't see something happen immediately, but with the backlog, they get to them as fast as they came. Still, he knows they will not get to them all by the time the growing season ends, although some operations are year-round."We've busted some green houses," he said.He said citizens have been good in contacting them with tips, and with plants now taller than most fences, those tips are coming in faster and faster."We do a lot of compliance checks," he said of the tips, then take the appropriate action.While the number of homicides related to the growing of marijuana is down, there still have been two deaths connected to grow sites. Two years ago there were more than eight deaths.Still, they are seizing weapons at many of the grow sites -- 234 weapons to date -- and have made 92 arrests.Rick Elkins is interim publisher of the Porterville Recorder.

Source: The Patriot-News, Harrisburg, Pa.儲存Sept. 20--For the better part of the past two years Americans have repeatedly been told that the federal government was weeks, days, and sometimes even hours away from a total fiscal collapse.The government's financial stability has been threatened by debt ceilings, fiscal cliffs, and sequesters. One or all of them seems to pop up in regimented fashion every few months.And like clockwork, Washington officials are warning again that the latest federal financial fiasco could shut the government down at the end of this month.U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., one of those sounding the alarm over a possible government shutdown, was uncharacteristically emphatic Thursday when discussing the latest spending stalemate."A lot of taxpayers must be saying to themselves 'Didn't those people in Washington get the message from 2011'," Casey said in a conference call with reporters. "The impact of [the 2011 debt ceiling debate] was devastating. You would think that some people would have learned, but here we are again."His colleague, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey seemed to agrees -- to a point."Like most Pennsylvanians, I am sick and tired of government by manufactured crisis," Toomey said in a statement. "This is no way to manage the federal government. Rather than enacting a budget, passing individual spending bills, and identifying and eliminating wasteful programs, Senate Democrats dodge the tough issues and pass these thousand-page, trillion-dollar, midnight monstrosities."The issue centers around a procedural vote in Congress that enables the government to continue spending money at current levels, and meet financial obligations already made.However confusion and dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act has produced a growing desire among many to exclude the controversial health care law from the funding resolution.Several grassroots organizations -- including some in Pennsylvania -- have appealed to legislators to not approve any funding legislation that enables Obamacare.Many in Congress -- mostly Republicans -- have moved to defund the health care law. Among them are Toomey, R-Lehigh, and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton.Both lawmakers have co-sponsored bills that would halt funding for the health care law.Earlier this month a libertarian group singled out Toomey over the issue. Tuesday he made his position crystal clear."In the absence of repealing this law, Congress should at least delay the implementation of its heavy-handed mandates to prevent the imminent harm they will have on the pocketbooks of Pennsylvanians, job creation, and our economy," Toomey said.But rather than seek some common ground, it seems Congress has positioned itself to reach yet another budgetary impasse.The GOP-controlled House is set to approve a funding plan Friday that excludes Obamacare. However the specific defund provision is expected to be sheared out by the Senate and then sent back to the House.Though many pundits believe the House will pass the edited measure, the budgetary dance is set to continue two weeks later when Congress takes up the debt ceiling debate again.And though Americans are split on the merits of a government shutdown, polls suggest most voters feel a lengthy shutdown would be calamitous for the country.Still, having been warned repeatedly of impending financial doom over the past two years, there's plenty of evidence that voters are burnt out over the whole debacle."I think there's a good bit of ambivalence," said Franklin and Marshall College pollster Terry Madonna. "As a hypothetic [the threat of a government shutdown] doesn't resonate.迷你倉It takes something concrete, something that affects their lives."Madonna pointed to the Pennsylvania voter ambivalence displayed toward successive late budgets passed under former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell."The voters had no problem re-electing Rendell by 21 percentage points," he said.But even though Obama's approval rating is suffering, Madonna said polls show an increasing inclination to blame the GOP should a federal shutdown take place."Shutting down the government to defund the Affordable Care Act I think would be disaster for the Republicans," he added.However those same polls suggest voters increasingly want Obamacare scaled back.And it's worth noting that the argument to delay funding for the health care law has both pros and cons.The administration has acknowledged flaws in the law, and it will require time to fix them. The calls to put Obamacare funding on hold, as Barletta's bill asks, would provide that time.However in the interim, millions of Americans would go uninsured and businesses would be left in a policy limbo that prevents them from solidifying future plans."They want to repeal this legislation, go back to the time with children with pre-existing conditions don't have coverage, ... and say to those millions of families 'Tough luck'," Casey said of Obamacare critics, adding that linking the debt ceiling debate to concerns over the Affordable Care Act is inappropriate."I voted for changes to the legislation and I'll vote for more, but I'm not going to vote for legislation that repeals the bill and walks away from the problem," he added.Casey's annoyance over the political use of Obamacare was matched by Thursday his contempt for the debt ceiling debate."We all know this is a manufactured crisis," he said. "It's a political stunt by some members of Congress to use the debt ceiling in a way that's very political and in a way that I think is very damaging for the country."The Scranton Democrat pointed to a new report from Congress' Joint Economic Committee that found the 2011 debt ceiling debate led to a drop in the stock market, the first national credit rating loss in American history, a 50 percent drop in job growth, and a negative effect on consumer confidence.Casey said economist have estimated that the mere 2011 debate cost the country $112 billion. And he pulled no punches in assigning blame to Republicans."This is what happens when a small group of ideologically extreme people take total control of a political party," he said defiantly.A new report from the left-leaning Center for American Progress Action Fund agreed."Opponents of the Affordable Care Act have waged a systematic campaign to undermine and sabotage the law," said Tom Perriello, the fund's president. "These efforts may be seem like political games to some in Washington, but they have real consequences for real people."But supporters must come to grips with the inescapable fact that the Affordable Care Act and debt ceiling debates aren't going away -- Toomey and Barletta's recent bills are evidence of that.Toomey, however, sees it differently."I have written and introduced comprehensive budgets and offered ideas to break partisan logjams," he said. "But without cooperation from the other side of the aisle, it has been hard to make progress."So it seems it's left to Democrats such as Obama and Casey to put their partisan frustrations aside, be the politicians they were elected to be, and find a way to keep the lights on in Washington.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Patriot-News (Harrisburg, Pa.)
