Source: The Seattle TimesAug.文件倉 01--CORRECTION: Information in this article, originally published July 28, 2013. A previous version of this story had incomplete information on the eligibility of immigrants for subsidies to pay for health insurance. Under the Affordable Care Act, lawfully present immigrants who have been in the U.S. for five years or more may be eligible for Medicaid or subsidies, depending on their income. Those with fewer than five years? residency may qualify for subsidies.Jul. 28--At the headquarters of Public Health ? Seattle & King County in downtown Seattle, those leading the county's effort to get people to sign up for insurance under the new federal health-care law are conspiring around a table.Maybe they could get singer Dave Matthews to urge everyone to get covered, one suggests. Macklemore, sighs a young woman, intoning in a hushed, reverent voice the name of the rising star of Seattle rap and social justice.For the growing campaign to enroll the uninsured in health insurance as part of the monumental health-care overhaul, signing up healthy young adults ? the "young invincibles" ? is crucial to success.But so far, all the brainstorming, like the rest of a flurry of activity around the state, has been largely invisible as the clock ticks toward Oct. 1.That's when most uninsured people in Washington will be able to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka "ObamaCare," no matter what their health status or pre-existing conditions. And nearly three-quarters of them will qualify for free or subsidized insurance, according to state estimates.With an influx of federal money ? $150 million in grants ? and the help of a network of groups and community organizations in every county, a new agency, the Washington Health Benefit Exchange in Olympia, is building the advertising, training and technological infrastructure to support a massive sign-up effort.Under the law, most individuals, except those specifically exempt, must have health insurance by March 31, 2014, or pay a penalty on their income tax. A similar requirement for businesses to provide employee coverage has been delayed for a year.About 80 percent of adults in Washington are now insured through private or government programs, including employer-sponsored plans, Medicare and Medicaid, military and veterans' programs and individual plans, according to the state's Office of the Insurance Commissioner.For most people, there will be few new changes. Many elements of the federal law, such as free preventive care and guaranteed coverage for children with pre-existing conditions, have already gone into effect.But about 20 percent of adult state residents under age 65 ? about 1 million people ? are uninsured . (If the state's entire population is considered, the uninsured make up about 16 percent of the total).In King County, nearly 300,000 adults have no health insurance, according to the insurance office's calculations.U.S. citizens and legal immigrants here for five years or more with very low incomes will be able to qualify for Medicaid, the state-federal insurance program. Eligibility has been substantially broadened, and state officials estimate an additional 250,000 adults will qualify .For those with higher incomes, including legal immigrants here for less than five years, there will be sliding-scale subsidies to help pay private insurance premiums.The penalty for going bare is $95 per adult or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater.The other penalty is being uninsured in the face of a serious, costly health problem.Progress in the stateWashington state is ahead of many states in setting up key provisions of the ACA: an online insurance-change marketplace and instant-enrollment tool known here as the Washington healthplanfinder (motto: "Click. Compare. Covered.").Political leaders in the state made leaps of faith early on, even hiring some key people before the U.S. Supreme Court blessed the act last year."We are going to lead the nation in getting our exchange up and running," Gov. Jay Inslee vowed at a recent meeting.Despite all this effort, questions continue to dog the organizers.What if we build a system and they don't come?Are subsidies enough to get people to sign up ? in particular, those healthy young adults, whose participation and premiums are necessary for a financially healthy marketplace?What if people simply skip the insurance and pay the penalty?On the other hand, if lots of people sign up, will they be able to find doctors?And what happens to those who are left out?What's happening nowFor now, organizers in Washington haven't made much noise about the Oct. 1 enrollment opening.Other states have jumped out with advertising, including online videos in Oregon that feature folk singers. Other states' ads use Super Bowl "competition" themes and cartoons.Everyone agrees the new law needs some fanfare. Only 62 percent of Americans know存倉that individuals can get subsidies to help pay premiums, and two-thirds of those uninsured say they don't understand how the federal law might affect them, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll in March.The state's exchange ? which holds the advertising purse strings ? is holding off until Sept. 3, when a hotline will go live.In the meantime, Public Health ? Seattle & King County, like other lead agencies in counties across the state, is working with a wider network of community groups and agencies to get the word out.All around the state, these groups are making plans for "outreach events" at festivals, in libraries, farmers markets, community-college campuses, community centers and more.They'll visit with people in food-bank lines, piggyback on state programs for the unemployed and arrange sit-downs with immigrant communities.And, of course, they will try to reach those key young people at ballgames and rock concerts and through messages from their heroes and confidantes. Oh, and their mothers, who were voted most trusted by that age group in focus-group polls.After Labor Day, the effort in King County and elsewhere will go into high gear ? in English, Vietnamese, Laotian, Mandarin, Amharic, Arabic, Korean, Spanish, Russian, Swahili, Punjabi and more.Oct. 1 unveilingOn Oct. 1, the shiny new part of this new system will go live: the healthplanfinder, an online tool to help the uninsured "shopper" compare health plans and enroll in either private insurance or Medicaid.Four "metal levels" of plans from different insurance companies ? ranging from the minimum "bronze" level to "platinum" ? require individuals to pay from 40 percent to 10 percent of costs. But all plans must cover 10 "essential health benefits."Behind the screen, 60 percent of that $150 million grant the state received has gone toward setting up the complex interfaces needed to hook up the state system with federal agencies, including Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service.The goal is that once a person fills out the application to be insured ? a process that might take up to an hour ? the healthplanfinder will spit out answers within seconds.Private insurance brokers will continue to help people find insurance, but community agencies may be more likely to reach those who might qualify for assistance.In King County, for example, about 28 percent of uninsured adults will qualify for Medicaid (now named Apple Health); 42 percent will qualify for subsidies.Possible hurdlesIf past experience is any guide, not everyone who qualifies for subsidies ? even for free insurance ? will sign up.Even explaining the concept of insurance can be difficult, especially for people who haven't had any in the past, or who come from countries where the concept is foreign. What's this cost-sharing thing? Deductible? Premium?Then there's getting those healthy young people to sign up. What happens if they don't? By law, the program must be financially self-sustaining by Jan. 1, 2015.A recent analysis in Health Affairs estimated that the federal law will leave about 503,000 Washington residents without insurance. "It will do little to alter racial disparities in coverage," wrote the authors.That's one side of the coin.The other: What if everyone signs up and wants care right now?Adding hundreds of thousands of adults to the ranks of the insured, even over years, means the term "doctor shortage" enters the conversation."There already are significant shortages of primary-care providers in rural areas in Washington state, and it's going to be get a lot worse," says Dr. Roger Rosenblatt, vice chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Washington and associate director of the UW's Rural/Underserved Opportunities Program.As part of the federal law, family-practice doctors and pediatricians will now receive Medicare rates for seeing Medicaid patients, which the state hopes will help open some doors.But Rudy Vasquez, director of managed-care operations at Sea Mar Community Health Centers in Seattle, cautions: "Coverage alone is not going to cut it."Access to specialty care, Vasquez and others warn, will continue to be a problem for Medicaid patients.Even so, the prospect of movement on health insurance has mobilized and encouraged many, advocates say."I have never seen communities come together so quickly," Vasquez says.Maybe, just maybe, the county public-health organizers hope, it will include Macklemore. "Do you know him?" someone asks.Carol M. Ostrom: costrom@seattletimes.com or 206-464-2249. On Twitter @costrom.

Source: Ventura County Star, Calif.存倉Aug. 01--Several doings this week in and around the Peacock Network, NBC:It's becoming very clear that soccer will be a big part of NBC Sports Network's offerings. The first three months of the schedule for the English Premier League was released this week with NBCSN slated to show 57 games, NBC 10 and CNBC two. The first game is the Aug. 17 Liverpool-Stoke matchup.There will be at least five games televised each week in the first three months of the season. In addition, 27 matches during that time will be shown in Spanish on the Telemundo and mun2 networks.All EPL games will also be available on TV and online through the Premier League Extra Time package that will be similar to baseball's Extra Innings service. However, viewers must be subscribed to a participating distributor. So far, according to Multichannel.com, DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-Verse have signed up (Verizon FiOS has signed up for the online package); Time Warner Cable has not.This is part of the NBC Sports Group's new three-year, $250 million contract to show EPL games. Previously, the rights were held by Fox Sports Media Group with some games sublicensed to ESPN.The NFL preseason gets under way this weekend and NBC has first crack at it. The Hall of Fame Game is at 5 p.m. Sunday from Canton, Ohio, with the Oxnard-trained Dallas Cowboys playing the Miami Dolphins. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will call the game with Michele Tafoya on the sidelines.Incidentally, on Friday night Michaels will be given the Pete Rozelle Radio & Television Award, a yearly honor bestowed in Canton for "long-time exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football." Michaels has been the play-by-play voice of the NFL's leading weekly prime-time game -- "Sunday Night Football" on NBC and "Monday Night Football" on ABC -- since 1986.What took so long?The player induction ceremony occurs at 4 p.m. Saturday and will be televised by ESPN2 and NFL Network. The inductees a自存倉e Larry Allen, Cris Carter, Curley Culp, Jonathan Ogden, Bill Parcells, Dave Robinson and Warren Sapp.More on Michaels: He was named to host NBC Sports Network's daytime coverage and NBC's weekend coverage at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. It's Michaels' third straight Olympic assignment, following Vancouver and London.In other Sochi Olympics news, NBC announced retired short-track speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno will be an Olympic analyst on the sport for the network. Ohno is the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympic athlete with eight medals, two gold.Finally, NBC has won out over ESPN in the Nancy Kerrigan sweepstakes. Last week, ESPN had announced one of its upcoming "30 for 30" films would be "Tonya and Nancy," a look back at the bizarre knee-clubbing of Kerrigan before the 1994 Winter Olympics that was arranged by fellow U.S. figure skating team member Tonya Harding. The film's producers said they were still hoping to get Kerrigan to participate, but that they were prepared to proceed without her.That is what they will have to do because NBC, which is planning its own documentary that will air during the Sochi Games, announced this week it has landed an exclusive interview with Kerrigan by Mary Carillo, who will also interview Harding.Kerrigan, who won medals in two Olympics, is married with three children and was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2004. Harding is married with one child and has taken part in a number of sports and entertainment reality shows over the past 20 years."This will be a fascinating look back on the 20th anniversary of one of the most dramatic episodes in Winter Olympic history and how it has affected the lives of these two women," NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell said in a statement. "Mary Carillo is the perfect reporter to tell their stories."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Ventura County Star (Camarillo, Calif.)

繼去年10月到中國進行「開展之旅」後,儲存倉前行政院長謝長廷今年6月以台灣維新基金會董事長名義,在香港舉辦「兩岸關係的發展與創新」研討會,使他成為民、共交流的第一人,更有意藉參選民進黨主席迫使黨內競爭者重視其「憲法各表」主張,但就在謝穿梭兩岸動作頻頻之際,民進黨高層卻傳出謝長廷辦公室主任林耀文趁勢往來兩岸布局做生意,甚至到澳門豪賭慘輸上億元。 昔日前總統陳水扁身邊有位第一親信馬永成,如今,展開民、共交流,尋求歷史定位的前行政院長謝長廷,身旁也有位貼身的親信幕僚林耀文,現任謝長廷辦公室主任。但七月初卻有台商向民進黨高層爆料,指林耀文趁著謝開展民、共交流之際,搭上台灣企業主與中國官方人士,布局做兩岸生意,甚至被爆在澳門豪賭慘輸上億元。 輸光求救 回本脫身 民進黨高層人士指出,七月初謝長廷從香港舉辦完兩岸論壇後,有台商向黨內高層爆料,指他年初親眼目睹林耀文到澳門豪賭,在賭王何鴻燊家族經營的「新濠天地」二樓貴賓廳「勵盈會」慘烈廝殺,令他頗為感慨。這位台商向民進黨高層人士表示,林耀文在只收高額賭注的賭廳中,把賭場第一回借他的港幣五百萬元(約新台幣二千萬元)全輸光,第二回再借他港幣五百萬元,沒多久也輸完,使他險些走不出賭廳,後來向台灣友人求救,賭場才又借他港幣三百萬元,他把輸的錢贏回來,才得以脫身返台。事實上,早在去年十月謝長廷到中國進行「開展之旅」後,民進黨高層就獲悉林耀文想順勢做兩岸生意,先是聽聞林有意跟娛樂圈友人詹仁雄經營中國浙江衛視《中國好聲音》歌手的藝人經紀,甚至一度動念要簽下台灣歌手李聖傑到中國娛樂市場發展,也曾找過黨內有幫派背景的金主合作,計畫到澳門包廳經營賭場,但這些想法都因他想要合作的對象,對他個人的行事作風有所疑慮而未竟全功。 自比小馬 隨謝登陸 熟識林耀文的民進黨人士表示,林身為謝長廷貼身的核心幕僚,處處自比是前總統陳水扁身邊人稱「小馬」馬永成的角色。謝長廷六月底到香港舉辦論壇,林在行程安排上刻意突顯自己的重要性,六月二十八日香港論壇開幕前一晚,香港前特首、中國政協副主席董建華在香格里拉酒店設宴款待謝長廷一行人,林耀文就與董建華及謝長廷一起坐在主桌,與會的立委只能坐次桌。類似的情況還有謝長廷六月三十日結束香港論壇轉往深圳,會見中國國台辦主任張志軍時,竟無立委陪同,僅林耀文陪在謝長廷身邊與張志軍會談並合照。黨內人士指林耀文深諳中國官場文化,高官談政策、親信抄辦生意的政治生態看在林的眼裡一點都不陌生,因此才會藉由這些場合,讓中國官方認知到謝長廷如果是民、共交流第一人,那他就是這第一人身邊最親近的幕僚,藉以為他撐起兩岸生意往來折衝的分量。 綠營流傳 已輸一億 該位人士表示,林耀文從學生時代就跟隨謝長廷,至今長達十八年,曾任謝的行政院長辦公室主任,知道謝長廷近一年來透過穿梭兩岸、舉辦論壇等行動,不僅會衝撞民進黨的兩岸政策路線,更蓄勢要參選明年五月黨主席,以迫使黨內各派系重視其兩岸政策主張,林耀文則運用謝有意參選黨主席的態勢,積極拉攏具實力的企業金主,並搭建與對岸官方的人脈,藉此取得政治與經濟資源。不過,林耀文始料未及的是,本刊五月揭發天道盟、四海幫集體加入染黑民進黨時,林就已被捲入,六月民進黨立院黨團總召柯建銘因〈會計法第九十九條之一修正案〉替前立委顏清標免除刑責遭到各方抨擊時,黨主席蘇貞昌即接獲消息,質疑此舉是林唆使謝系立委所為,使他不斷捲入黨內高層內鬥。七月初當謝長廷在香港辦完論壇並在深圳會見台商後,一位經常往來兩岸的台商就以「看不下去」為由,向民進黨高層人士爆料,指林耀文從去年十月謝長廷到大陸進行「開展之旅」打開民、共交流局面後,就趁著今年四月初到北京洽談謝長廷可能再度訪中之際,布局要做兩岸生意,甚至目睹林不知自重,竟在澳門賭場豪賭。這位台商向民進黨高層描述指出,年初他看到林耀文在澳門新濠天地二樓勵盈會的賭廳出現,覺得很訝異,後來林一上桌就拿出港幣五百萬元的籌碼,參與百家樂賭局,由於賭性強,下大注,沒多久就輸光,第二次又要了港幣五百萬元籌碼,結果又慘輸,第三次開口向賭場再要求額度時遭到拒絕,林只好打電話給熟識賭場的台灣友人求救,最後賭場同意再給港幣三百萬元額度,林才把輸的錢都贏回來。民進黨人士透露,林耀文去澳門賭博多次,澳門賭博圈人士盛傳,林在澳門累積賭輸新台幣一億多元,而且賭博的足跡不只新濠天地,還有隔一條馬路的「金沙城」與「威尼斯人」。此事今年初就在謝系內部流傳,謝長廷也曾在聽聞林耀文到澳門賭博一事後,私下找林查問並勸他不可涉賭,甚至請與林往來密切的金主不要帶壞他這位情同兒子的貼身幕僚。本刊調查,台商目睹林耀文豪賭的澳門賭廳,是澳門賭王何鴻燊之子何猶龍旗下的勵盈會,在新濠天地是最大的貴賓賭廳,裡面有十多間賭廳,台商最常去的則是「澄清湖廳」,由有「台灣組頭教父」之稱的陳盈助包廳經營。壹週刊提醒您:「飲酒過量,有礙健康。」 黑白大咖 賭桌交流 本刊七月二十一日到新濠天地二樓勵盈會澄清湖廳,直擊台灣富商玩百家樂。據去過這間賭廳的人士透露,這裡輸贏少則新台幣百萬元,多則上億元。根據本刊現場目擊,陳盈助所包的賭廳,不僅台灣財團富商會去捧場,與台灣政商友好的中國企業集團老闆也會來賭個二把,使澄清湖廳成為兩岸政商與黑道人士賭博交誼的祕密處所。與謝系交好的人士透露,林耀文在迷你倉沙田月底謝長廷前往香港舉辦兩岸關係研討會前夕,曾向《美麗島電子報》副董事長吳子嘉調借資金,並強調是他個人需求,與謝的香港行無關。事後,吳子嘉曾向友人提及此事,還一度透露林想要調借的資金高達上億元。但本刊向吳子嘉求證,他否認林曾向他開口借錢,並強調無意捲入他人是非。 借調資金 銀行打槍 不過,吳子嘉友人則指出,吳私下曾提及林耀文借錢一事,但此事與林到澳門賭博是否有所關聯仍不得而知,惟可以確定的是,林今年五月曾有意拿自己開設的公關公司向銀行抵押貸款,卻因公司只在大型選舉時才有收入,而未被接受。之後就傳出他到澳門賭博,且謝系知道的人不在少數,至於到底賭輸多少?恐怕只有當事人和賭場才清楚。台商圈近來還傳聞,林耀文有意到澳門投資,並透過謝長廷開展之旅結識的中國官方友人找人頭包廳經營賭場。知情人士透露,林耀文曾找民進黨台北市黨部評議委員會召集人黃承國商量,但黃覺得林不瞭解澳門賭場生態而婉拒,林在國內碰壁後,反倒透過謝長廷兩岸交流結識的中國中藝旅行社董事長孫泊庸找到機會。 民共交流 蒙上陰影 知情人士指出,掛名中藝旅行社董事長的孫泊庸,是林耀文安排謝長廷赴中國進行開展之旅時透過台商所認識,孫在中國官方的身分是解放軍總參謀部(簡稱總參)的局長級官員,主要負責與台灣黑幫之間的聯繫工作,自從前年開放陸客自由行後,他是第一個申請獲准來台的中國人,之後,每年都會來台多達十次以上,與台灣主要幫派大哥均交情匪淺。本刊五月揭露天道盟、四海幫分子集體加入民進黨後,就有民進黨人士向本刊進一步爆料指出,孫泊庸不僅在去年十月謝長廷赴北京會見中國國務委員戴秉國一事扮演關鍵角色,今年四月初林耀文赴北京安排謝長廷香港行時也提供協助,甚至為了謝有意參選民進黨主席,還允諾出力,居中拉攏四海幫幫主楊德盷拉人加入民進黨。謝長廷希望透過民、共交流突破民進黨的兩岸政策窠臼,藉以尋求歷史定位,但無奈一路培植的親信卻被爆,企圖在民、共交流空隙中做生意,又不忌諱到澳門豪賭,無視兩岸政經交流的敏感性,使謝長廷的民、共交流後續發展,可能蒙上親信以權謀私的陰影,也使台灣民眾難以信任民進黨可以在兩岸政策上展現新猶。 林耀文小檔案 年齡:37歲 綽號:大雄學歷:淡江大學公共行政系夜間部、中山大學高階公共政策碩士班畢業經歷:2002年謝長廷競選高雄市長總部活動部執行長、主任2003年高雄市政府新聞處長2004年陳水扁競選總統高雄市總部執行總幹事2005年行政院長謝長廷辦公室主任2007年台灣長工會辦公室主任2008年長昌競選總統總部執行副總幹事,敗選後設立台灣維新基金會及影子政府網站家庭:太太吳曉菁曾當選屏東「黑珍珠小姐」,育有2子 謝長廷 兩岸政策事件簿 2012.10.04. 謝長廷「開展之旅」以私人身分訪問中國,到福建東山島祭祖,還到北京會見國台辦主任王毅等官員,提出「憲法共識」、「憲法各表」主張。2012.11.21. 民進黨中常會通過設置「中國事務委員會」,召集人原本謝長廷呼聲最高,但最後由民進黨主席蘇貞昌兼任。2013.05.06. 謝長廷接受蘇貞昌面邀,同意加入中國事務委員會。2013.05.09. 中國事務委員會第一次會議,前國安會祕書長邱義仁反駁謝的憲法主張,說民進黨並非全盤接受這部憲法。2013.06.29. 謝長廷打破民進黨、共產黨交流的禁忌,在香港和中國社科院台灣研究所舉辦「兩岸關係的發展與創新」研討會,主張以「憲法各表」作為兩岸互動基礎。2013.06.30. 香港研討會閉幕,達成擺脫對立衝突、開展平等協商及正視現實、穩健推進兩岸關係發展等3點共同結論。會後謝前往深圳,會見新任國台辦主任張志軍,重提「憲法一中」概念。 百家樂 輸很大 澳門新濠天地賭場的各式賭博中,與威尼斯人等其他著名賭場一樣,百家樂的賭桌數約占8成,2樓勵盈會「澄清湖廳」清一色都是百家樂賭桌,此種賭博方式源於義大利,卻於19世紀盛行於英法等地,如今,澳門則是全世界賭城中,百家樂賭桌數目最多的地方。據曾出入新濠天地澄清湖廳的人士說,百家樂與21點賭法不同的是,下注者可以選擇當「莊家」或「閒家」,21點則只跟莊家玩,百家樂因此被認定是最公平的賭博,但如果下注大或運氣背,賭客又把持不住,一趟賭局下來,就有人輸掉新台幣5、6億元。 回應 謝長廷:有聽說,無實據行政院前院長謝長廷表示,之前確曾聽說林耀文到澳門賭博,但經他查問,提及此事的人也都是聽說,並沒有證據。他認為放話者若是民進黨高層,恐怕就不單純,畢竟他從事兩岸開展之旅以來,黨內就有人要讓他和林耀文難堪。林耀文:純小賭,是抹黑林耀文表示,他曾去澳門3、4次,最近一次是年初跨年夜,帶老婆小孩去看《中國好聲音》演唱會,之後到新濠天地一樓大廳賭場換3萬元籌碼玩了一下,沒到2樓勵盈會,更沒輸掉1億多元,也沒向吳子嘉借錢。他說,絕不會害老闆(謝長廷),所以不可能去澳門包廳經營賭場,或藉兩岸開展之旅去做《中國好聲音》等歌手經紀生意,且他只跟孫泊庸吃過幾次飯,對孫心存警戒,更沒接受他協助布局兩岸生意,「放話的人沒有我在賭場的照片,也沒有借錢的借據,根本是抹黑。」 重案第壹爆 用智慧型手機掃描此QR Code,進入「壹週刊重案第壹爆」讀者服務站。只要按讚,即可加入。我們提供「你敢爆、我敢報」,並剖析重大弊案的來龍去脈。迷你倉價錢

  不少投資者建議投資美國房地產,迷你倉價錢而近期多個指標都顯示美國樓市的升勢強勁,當中美國西部經濟復甦進度較佳,令當地樓價的升幅最為突出。有分析認為美國西部的經濟會繼續領先,但樓價升幅可能會放緩。---------------------------------美國樓價穩步向上  周二公布的標普Case-Shiller樓價指數顯示,美國20大城市的樓價在未經任何季節性調整下,於5月份按月上升2.4%,按年升幅則達12.2%。雖然按月升幅略低於4月份的2.6%,亦低於市場預期,但整體而言,數據仍反映美國樓市升勢強勁。達拉斯及丹佛的樓價更超越金融海嘯前的水平。  在20大城市之中,美國西部的城市樓價升幅,普遍領先多個東部的主要城市。三藩市更領先全美,當地樓價在5月份升幅達4.3%,而年比的升幅更為強勁,高達24.5%。洛杉磯、拉斯維加斯亦是樓價表現較佳的城市,一年升幅超逾兩成。  相比之下,東岸城市顯得有點失色。紐約樓價雖然在5月份按月上升1.6%,但按年上升僅3.3%,排在樓價升幅排行榜的榜末。剛剛申請破產保護的底特律,樓價表現也強勁,一年升幅達19.1%。不過,由於當地樓價長期不振,現時樓價比2000年時還低近15%。  負責編製指數的標普道瓊斯指數公司就指出,5月份的數據反映美國樓市的變化,如華盛頓不再為美國樓市中最為突出的城市,及部分東岸城市開始較西部城市失色等。---------------------------------西岸經濟復甦惠及全國  美國樓市復甦強勁,被不少經濟師認為是帶領美國經濟復甦的支柱。若美國樓價上升,將能為當地居民帶來財富效應,帶旺當地消費,推動經濟及就業。經濟向好,亦迷你倉庫當地樓價具支持,形成良性循環。投資者如欲投資美國樓市,亦需要了解美國地區經濟的前景。  富國銀行(Wells Fargo)的研究就顯示,美國西部的州份帶領美國全國的經濟復甦。該行的數據指出美國西岸的州份,如加州、華盛頓州及俄勒岡州的GDP增長於近兩年都領先全國。當地就業市場的復甦亦較為顯著,西岸州份的非農業新增職位近兩年就上升了1.9%,較全國的1.7%較為優勝,失業率下降的速度也較全國下降得更快。  該行經濟師表示,美國西部經濟以科技及能源業為主,而且產業亦較國際化,令當地經濟較美國其他地方為優勝。同時,近期樓市旺盛及旅遊業復興,也是西岸經濟較為發達的原因。---------------------------------西岸仍是投資樓市首選  若以地區經濟前景判斷何處的房地產最值得投資,那美國西岸或依然是投資者的首選。富國銀行預期,美西經濟會在未來數年繼續稍為領先全國。加州及華盛頓州經濟會愈來愈強,而內華達州、亞利桑那州等亦開漸現活力,趨勢與Case-Shiller樓價指數反映的情況大致相符。利率回升不利樓市  不過,投資者未來可能要接受回報率較低的情況。富國銀行就擔心全球經濟放緩,將令當地出口放緩,再加上聯儲局將減少購債,促使利率上升,當地樓市能否持續上升將成問題。  高盛也質疑,美國西部的經濟情況,指出加州、內華達州及亞利桑那州的就業情況並非如表面般理想。該行首席經濟師哈齊斯(Jan Hatzius)表示,這些地區的失業率下滑,主要是靠勞動參與率下降所致,並不能反映當地就業特別強。他預期,雖然上述地區的樓價會繼續領先全國,但領先幅度將會收窄,也令全美樓價的升幅會由雙位數字,降至5%左右。儲存

  昨日,self storage記者查詢到王林在香港擁有兩家公司。其中一家公司曾與江西省宜春市袁州區政府簽約興建五星級酒店。昨日該區副區長稱,這個項目屬於袁州區重點工程。當時之所以選擇王林,是因為當時有領導稱他很有實力。  王林與宜春關係密切,曾在當地宜豐縣下放多年。有知情人稱,“他在宜春有著深厚的關係網”。  而王林稱之為好朋友的原江西省政協副主席宋晨光于2002年到2008年任宜春市市長、市委書記。王林曾對新京報記者表示,“宋晨光想送我一個賓館”,自己因為要避嫌拒絕了。2012年4月,宋晨光因受賄罪被一審判處死緩。  2010年簽投資協議  據王林的香港身份證,在香港公司註冊處綜合資訊系統中查詢到王林擔任董事的有兩家公司。  其中一家為香港匯龍控股有限公司,該公司為私人公司,成立于2008年5月,法定股本為一億港元。股本已發行五千萬港元,全部由王林持有。公司共有三名董事。  最新的公司周年申報表顯示,王林的住址是深圳市羅湖區愛國路怡景花園的別墅。該地址是王林的另外一個“王府”所在地。  在江西省宜春市袁州區政府網站上,顯示香港匯龍控股有限公司于2010年與袁州區簽訂協議,投資建袁州新城五星級賓館項目。賓館位於袁州新城內F-2地塊內,計劃投資3.5億元,用地242.44畝,是政府重點工程。  有領導認為其很有實力  袁州區副區長敖幼平表示,當時政府的協議是和王林簽的,簽協議時宜春市領導也到了現場。敖幼平說,宜春作為地級市想建一個五星級的賓館,希望找有實力的人來建。  對於最終選擇王林的香港匯龍控股有限公司的原因,敖幼平說當時的領導認為王林這人非常有實力。  他說,當時的領導和王林接觸感覺他很有錢,尤其是知道他在蘆溪曾經捐建了一座很大的寺廟後,對他的實力更加沒有懷疑。  “當時他看起來也確實有實力”。敖幼平說當時簽約給了所有優惠政策。  一年多前退出該項目  敖幼平說當時簽約應該有好幾個股東,但具體情況他並不清楚。後來酒店的建設由另外的股東接收,而王林在一年多前退出了這個項目。退出原因,敖幼平稱不了解。  敖幼平表示,這家五星級酒店是個大項目,也是袁州區政府的重點項目。投資將會有4個多億,目前已經投入了幾千萬,預計年底會封頂。  經資料查詢,這個酒店最初叫袁州新城五星級賓館,也被稱為宜春市匯龍大酒店。後來改名為宜春國際戴斯大酒店,並于2012年5月奠基。  在奠基的新聞稿中,建設該酒店的公司已經是江西宜春匯龍大酒店有限公司。工商資料顯示宜春匯龍大酒店有限公司註冊于2009年,企業負責人為熊學禮。  該公司的宣傳中自稱為港商獨資企業,記者咨詢宜春匯龍大酒店有限公司與香港匯龍控股有限公司的關係,公司員工表示兩個公司沒有關係。記者致電熊學禮,電話一直是關機狀態。  與香港航空大股東合組公司  王林在香港曾經與人合組過一家公司。公司的名稱為中澳友誼發展聯誼會有限公司。該公司成立于1997年9迷你倉,于2007年解散。  根據該公司的周年申報顯示,該公司法定股本為一億港元。已發行股本僅為兩港元。值得注意的是,該公司共有兩名董事,分別持有已發行股本一港元。另外一名董事為蒙建強。  據資料,2006年,蒙建強買入香港航空公司55%的股權,成為其大股東。2008年7月,蒙建強從何鴻燊手中購入15%香港快運股權,成為香港快運航空有限公司股東。香港航空和香港快運均為海航航空成員企業。  當時的領導和王林接觸感覺他很有錢,尤其是知道他在蘆溪曾經捐建了一座很大的寺廟後,對他的實力更加沒有懷疑。 ——宜春市袁州區副區長敖幼平  贛正查王林是否非法行醫  目前還未收到一起舉報;當地警方仍無法立案  據新華社電 江西省衛生廳昨日向記者證實,已接到國家中醫藥管理局要求調查“氣功大師”王林一事的通知。江西省衛生廳表示,已就王林是否涉嫌非法行醫著手調查,一切將依法依規進行。  7月30日,國家衛生計生委綜合監督局局長薛曉林表示,對近期“氣功大師”王林事件,將查清事實,依法依規進行處理。如核實是非法行醫,將堅決打擊。江西省衛生廳表示,正高度關注王林一事,近期將派人前往蘆溪縣當地督導和協助調查。  “目前還沒有接到一起群�舉報。”江西省衛生廳有關負責人表示,王林沒有註冊執業資格,也未辦理醫療機構執業許可證,但他也沒有掛牌經營,是否非法行醫在取證問題上面臨一些困難。但衛生部門將努力克服困難,實事求是、依法依規認真調查。  “目前,省衛生廳正在對王林的一些‘氣功’表演的影像資料進行嚴格審查。”這位負責人稱。  蘆溪縣政法委書記王名正告訴記者,已經督促公安機關等相關職能部門依據法定職權和法定程序依法介入調查王林事件。  經記者多方採訪獲悉,由於目前還沒有收到相關單位和個人的舉報,當地公安部門仍無法對王林進行立案調查。  司馬南  “王林拿准了庸人貪官的脈搏”  據人民網報道 昨日下午,主持人司馬南就明星官員為何追捧氣功大師王林與網友互動。司馬南認為,所有自稱“大師”的都是騙子,凡是聲稱能夠用氣功發放外氣給別人治病的都是有意無意的騙子,王林是前二三十年幸存的“大師餘孽”。  司馬南認為,王林和社會上的那些招搖撞騙者最大的不同是,王林這類大師是打著超自然現象的旗號來愚弄百姓,而其他的各行各業的大師,所使用的還都是“人間的力量”。  王林大師所有的招數也不過是“人間的力量採取了非人間的形式”。  他說,王林其實是利用了人性的弱點,“拿准了庸人、俗人、貪官的脈搏,是我們的人性弱點配合王林大師做了丑陋的表演。”  此前,王林在接受新京報記者採訪時談及司馬南曾質疑他時說:“你司馬南吃幾碗飯,敢和我叫板?我用氣功隔幾十米都能戳死你。”  隨後,司馬南回應王林,稱他在北京恭候王林。如果王林不來,他將親赴江西萍鄉王林的豪宅門前,接受檢驗。  新京報記者 張寒 實習生 許夢娜標簽:王林 敖幼平 司馬南 香港 江西省文件倉
