GLOBAL companies struggle with decisions on how much to outsource.迷你倉出租 Too little means an organization may lose the pricing advantages that can come with using competitive providers worldwide. Too much — or the wrong kind of outsourcing — and quality and knowledge management can suffer.A panel at a recent Wharton Global Forum in Tokyo titled, “Global Supply Chain Management: Outsourcing, Re-shoring, and Near-Shoring,” looked at the reshaping of the global supply chain, and how companies choose where and whom to source from in a fast-changing environment.During the discussion, led by Wharton professor of operations and information management Morris A. Cohen, the panelists suggested that the cheapest solution is not always the best, and that the architecture of supply chains can vary widely depending on the industry and products involved.Boeing’s supply chain evolves from extensive research into customers and the environments in which they operate, said Beth Anderson, a Boeing vice president. “We go through the entire cycle of designing the airplane and designing the production system, and understanding who our customers are going to be and how we’re going to support the aircraft once it goes into service.”Boeing’s main customer base has evolved since 20 years ago, when 75 percent of the company’s production took place in the United States and Europe, with the rest happening elsewhere. Now, just 25 percent of Boeing’s backlog is in its traditional markets in the US and Europe, with 75 percent in fast-growing economies like China and India.Complex supply chainLast year, the manufacturer sourced 783 million parts used to build 600 aircraft. By 2014, it will be bringing in more than one billion parts from a total of 7,500 suppliers to build 700 planes. “It’s a vast supply chain and very complex,” Anderson said of the 500,000 people in 73 countries engaged in helping to build Boeing products.For companies like Boeing, the extremely high degree of regulation typically helps to prevent bogus parts from getting into the industry.“Mostly th迷你倉 regulators do the policing. We just ensure that all the parts have the right documentation,” Anderson said.Automakers like Nissan face much greater risks, given the prevalence of independent auto service companies in many markets. “It’s very difficult to guarantee the source of the parts. Our badge is on the car no matter where the parts come from,” Cobee noted. “I recommend not using an unauthorized dealer in China.”Partly out of those concerns, some consumers are choosy about the origin of the products they buy. But for IT companies like Fujitsu, although components are made in various places, from Costa Rica to Israel, “we can boast that our products are made only in Japan,” said Kenji Mizuno, a senior vice president in electronics maker Fujitsu’s supply chain management unit. “The real issue is reliability and capability. We do very special tests, and sometimes many components fail. But when we deliver the finished computers, they are very high quality. That’s our expertise. They are made and assembled in Japan with our technology.”Tokyo Electron, likewise, uses components from overseas but puts its products through extensive testing before they are shipped.No returnCompanies must realize that once they have opened the door to collaboration or outsourcing, it can never be closed, noted Nissan’s Vincent Cobee, corporate vice president in the automaker’s Global Datsun Business Unit. Given the huge risks of failure for products like automobiles and many other products, “you have to think about not only the benefit for tomorrow but also about whether you can sustain it.”To keep a competitive edge requires constant innovation. “You have to innovate more than the others. Yes, we have the daily job of protecting IP. It doesn’t take a genius to dismantle a car and reverse engineer it,” Cobee said. “The only way is innovation.”Adapted from China Knowledge@Wharton, .knowledgeatwharton.com.cn.

Source: Detroit Free PressSept.迷你倉 08--Oneita Jackson up and quit her job more than a year ago.The 44-year-old Detroiter left the Free Press to drive a cab.She says the newspaper, where she worked for 11 years as a copy editor and columnist, was her first dream job.And now, she says, she's living another.QUESTION: You've been driving a cab for a year now. How's it going?ANSWER: (Laughs.) I should not be having this much fun.It's fun?Yes, I'm having a ball.Tell me what's fun.I'll tell you what's fun, but you know what's funny? What's funny is your style of asking questions. I was researching you. I was reading your clips. You are hilarious.Why?'Cause you're snarky, and I don't think you mean to be snarky. ...What's fun about driving a cab? Making money on my way to run errands. Making money hanging out. Making money running my mouth, telling people my story. ... Doing what I love to do.So, you getting rich or what?Well, I wouldn't say rich ... yet. Because there's a rhythm and a style of driving and it took me a while to figure it out. Like cab drivers who are smarter than I am, 'cause I'm not that bright, drive on a schedule. I don't. I just exist and live and drive. For example, I worked at a newspaper for 11 years in gray walls. Now I'm free, and I don't even know how I did it for 11 years. Now I'm free! And I just -- I exist!Does that mean you're always on? Isn't there some stress in the back of your mind that any minute you might have to go pick somebody up?No. I am always on, but I'm always off, too. I can be on or off. ... If somebody called me right now to go around the corner, it depends on who it is. If it's someone who's going around the corner who might need a ride to the airport later, "See ya, Jim." But if it's one of the cousins, "Sorry, I can't take you." ...You mentioned you quit a good-paying newspaper job ... in a business that you like. So why quit that job to drive a cab?I was a columnist, too.Let me ask you this: Why are you driving a cab?No, no, no. Those are two different questions.I know. I erased the first one.But I'm putting the first one back. Why did I quit? Because I wasn't having fun anymore at the newspaper. ... I always wanted to drive a cab. Not always from childhood, but when I lived in D.C. in the 1990s, I had this really cool cab driver who would pick me up every day and take me to the baby-sitter. ... And I began to talk to him every day. ... And there's one thing: I'm a people person. And I knew I could do it. Me make money being me? Driving a cab? I could do it. But they were killing cab drivers in the 1990s. And ...They're still killing cab drivers today.Yeah. Four in about six months that I've been driving. ...How do you stay safe while you're driving in the city?How do I stay safe? My friends make my phone ring. ...So you don't pick people up on the street?I do. But I pay at自存倉ention. You know, I pay attention to my feeling in my gut. Usually, I work in what is considered -- air quote -- a safe environment. So the Free Press calls me for airport runs. The Westin calls me. Or cab buddies. I work out of hotels, mostly. ...Tell me your favorite stories. ...I do a tour. It's one hour, $100, and you buy me lunch. And I do that tour a lot.Of the city?Yes, yes, yes. And I do those tours a lot for people. Because I'm interested in people who are interested in Detroit. So they come here and I always ask, "Have you been here before?" And it's like, "Oh, you can't leave the city without seeing this," and then I do my sales pitch, because I'm a salesperson, right? ...So I'm frequently eating with people. One of my cab buddies saw me out with a French woman that I was about to take to the airport. Because I was hungry, and she wanted to see something. I said we have a Whole Foods, and that's news in Detroit. And so she wanted to eat at the airport. I'm like, "Airport? No, we're going to Whole Foods."So, I'm dining with this woman at Whole Foods, and my cab buddy comes up and he's like, "What are you doing?" And I said, "I'm eating with my fare. And then I'm taking her to the airport." ... It's not even a story, but the way I do my job amazes other cab drivers who have been doing this for ...I was going to ask you what other cabbies think about you.They think I am crazy. They think I'm a nut. ...What's the biggest tip you ever got?A hundred bucks. ... What I did for this Mexican couple. ... I took them to Somerset (Mall). We dined, then they wanted me to come back. No English. No English. She spoke Spanish. He didn't speak much English. ... He was able to communicate, "Auto show. Tickets. You tickets. I tip."So the charity preview this year was sold out. ... I immediately go into concierge mode. ... I said, "Look. If you all want me to get tickets" -- and I'm speaking in Spanish to the woman -- "then I'm gonna have to be on the phone." So, I'm calling all over town. Obviously, I end up getting the tickets. ...Are you going to do this permanently?Oh, no, no, no. I'm a writer. All I want to do is sit at home and write and drive a cab on the weekends, OK? I want a big cab with a big "O," like around my neck (shows "O" necklace). A big cab with a Big O on the side. I'll work Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And I'm going to sit at home and write Sunday and Mon -- no! I'm going to watch football on Sundays. ...And you're doing this, in part, to write a book?No, no, no. Not to write a book. This is my second dream. This is what's crucial. ... Let's say I became a janitor. I would still write a book.OK, so what's the proper way to put it?I'm living my second dream.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Detroit Free Press Visit the Detroit Free Press at .freep.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉新蒲崗

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.文件倉M.Sept. 08--Linda Ingram has dedicated a good deal of the last decade to monitoring the use of handicapped parking spaces around Albuquerque, calling out people who use the spaces illegally and needling city government to enforce the handicapped parking ordinance.She is the founder and chief instigator of I Need to Get in My Parking Place, Please! The organization is aptly named (she shortens it to GIMPPP) because it exists to create a world in which a disabled person with a valid handicapped parking placard can drive into any parking lot in America and find a place.When I expressed surprise that handicapped-parking scofflaws were really that big a problem, Ingram said, "Come with me to Wal-Mart at noon."So I did. We climbed into Ingram's van, and she made sure she had her parking placard with her. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when she was 13, Ingram has had multiple surgeries and partial amputations on her feet. Walking for her is painful and exhausting.First, we swung by the Smith's grocery store at McMahon and Golf Course Road near her home. Two of the handicapped spaces out front were legally occupied, and one was free. We watched a silver Jeep pull into the last open space, the one closest to the door.A woman wearing jeans and flip-flops hung a handicapped placard on her rearview mirror and jumped out and hustled into the store. Hmm.Under the law, the placards are reserved for people with a "severe mobility impairment." That includes people who use a wheelchair and can't walk without a cane, crutch or brace. But it also includes people with a severe cardiac condition and people who use portable oxygen or have an orthopedic or neurological condition that affects mobility.So, Ingram has learned in her years of advocacy on behalf of the disabled not to make judgments about whether people are disabled by looking at them. But a glance through the Jeep's window made it easy to spot a fraud -- the photo on the placard was of a young man.Ingram jumped into her "I Need to Get in My Parking Place, Please!" mode and dialed the police. As she was reporting a violation of the city ordinance -- using another's placard -- the woman came out of the store and jumped into her Jeep, rebuffing my efforts to ask her about her parking choice with an unhappy shake of her head. Ingram read off the Jeep's license plate number to the dispatcher as the woman drove off."How's that?" Ingram asked me. "Our first stop."Ingram got her parking placard from the state after her fourth foot surgery around 2000. As soon as she started using it, she began to notice vehicles without placards parked in the blue-marked spaces that were supposed to be reserved for her. From that, her organization was born in 2006.At the beginning, Ingram, a 60-year-old former licensed practical nurse, approached the drivers of vehicles and asked them whether they knew they were taking a parking space they had no right to.She doesn't do that anymore."Even people who look nice," she told me, "are not nice. All I ever got was anger."When I think of possible shortcuts in life, occupying a handicapped spot I have no right to in order to save 20 or 30 steps never enters my mind. Who does that?She sees out-and-out impostors -- people without a placard or with a fake placard made on a color copier. She sees expired placards, which are a violation of state law. She sees v存倉hicles with disabled veteran license plates but no placard parked in the spots, also a violation. She sees friends or relatives driving a disabled person on errands, using the placard and leaving the disabled person in the car, which is also a no-no.Ingram is ever-vigilant and either leaves a bright green "OOPS!" calling card on the windshield -- gently spelling out the need for a valid placard to park legally in a handicapped spot -- or calls the police.Robert Perry, the city's chief administrative officer, said the city has recently changed the way it approaches these parking violators, choosing to enforce the state's criminal law instead of the city's civil statute.Perry said the city's only recourse unless a violator voluntarily paid the civil fine was to track down the vehicle and boot it. Since March, enforcement officers have been instructed to write a ticket for violating the state law instead. The fines for a violation are hefty. For the first offense it's $250, and that rises to $350 and $500 for subsequent offenses. And a traffic citation puts a violator into the court system."If you ignore something in Metro Court," Perry said, "a bench warrant can be issued for your arrest. We think it has more of an impact on the violator."Ingram has called Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry's office consistently and written him letters to ask that the city enforce the ordinance more frequently. The city writes 60 to 90 tickets a month, according to Ingram. Perry said officers have written only 36 of the civil citations in the past six months, and he acknowledged the city could do better in enforcing the handicapped parking laws.When I commented to Ingram that she's a persistent nag -- and I meant that as a compliment --Ingram agreed."I really don't want to tick people off, but you've got to assert yourself because the world is not cooperating on this."When we got to Wal-Mart at noon, the place was packed and every handicapped space was taken. A silver sedan had a placard with the date obscured, a common trick of placard fraud. Another sedan had no placard showing.A man named Peter Allen wheeled up in his motorized chair on the way back to his car as we eyed the white sedan. I asked him if he sees that often."All the time," Allen said. "All the time. Sometimes you gotta park all the way out in left field. One guy, I confronted him and I said, 'I'm gonna call the cops' and he said, 'I am a cop.' So what are you gonna do? It's that bad."It turned out the white sedan's driver, Isaac Atencio, had a valid placard -- he'd just forgotten to put it out. Elderly and missing an arm, he said he was grateful Ingram was out enforcing the rules.Ingram suggests that every able-bodied person who ever thinks of grabbing an open handicapped parking space should think ahead to a possible future when that space might legally be theirs."We're the one minority group that everybody's eligible to join," she said. "You can't change your race or your sex, but you can become disabled. It can happen to anybody."UpFront is a daily front-page news and opinion column.

Rising govt revenues make social initiatives possibleBy Xu Xiaoxuxiao@chinadaily.mini storagecom.cnRelying on the wealth accumulated during six decades of economic growth, authorities in the Siming district are now focused on improving public living standards.The district was established in 1950 in Xiamen, Fujian province. It is now the economic, political and cultural center of the renowned coastal city.The district government said “fortune” and “happiness” are the key words for today’s Siming.The local officials pointed out that increasing government revenues are an important indicator of public fortune and a major financial resource that the government uses to improve the local quality of life and for other social undertakings.In 2012, the district reported government revenue of 13.3 billion yuan, an increase of 20.3 percent year-on-year, signaling record growth in the past five years.In the first half of 2013, government revenue approached 9.1 billion yuan, the largest of all the cities in Fujian.The officials said the fortune comes from the city’s abundant business opportunities brought by its born geographic advantages as a close neighbor of Taiwan, as well as its preferential policy environment as a part of a city that is listed as one of the four special economic zones in China and a pilot in cross-Straits business cooperation.Tourist attractionsThe unique natural environment there also makes the district appealing to both residents and tourists.Embraced by mountains and sea, Siming district has a pleasant climate.There are several renowned tourist resorts along the 10-kilometer beaches. Fifteen of Xiamen’s top 20 resorts are located in Siming.The most attractive among all the resorts is the 1.77-square-kilometer Gulangyu Island, which is about 500 meters away from the city proper across the Lujiang River.Featuring blue sea, green trees and colonial-style houses, the serene island is also known as “the garden on the sea”.According to the district government, Siming’s tourism revenue reached 39.2 billion yuan in 2012, accounting for 70 percent of Xiamen’s total.In recent years, the government has highlighted the service industry and several emerging industries.It has a booming high-end consumer goods market, making it a trend leader in Xiamen as well as Fujian province.The Paragon Center is Fujian’s first and largest high-end shopping mall, gathering some 80 globally renowned brands, including such luxury names as Gucci, Burberry and Montblanc.Another luxury shopping mall called China City has a 200-meter-long corridor for showcasing renowned watches. Here consumers can find luxury watch brands, including Piaget, Jaeger-Le Coultre, Omega, and IWC.China City also has the first Ferrari and Maserati showrooms in Fujian province.In addition to these luxury shopping malls, high-end hospitality business is another propeller of Siming’s development.In Siming, there are 48 star-rated hotels, accounting for 61 percent of Xiamen’s total.Many hotels combine first-rate facilities with Siming’s regional characteristics.For instance, the Hotel Nikko Xiamen gives guests a sea view through French windows in the rooms.The district is also on its way toward becoming a luxury yachting hub of Xiamen, with the Shangshan International Yacht Club now under construction. Local government officials said “the club is expected to introduce a new lifestyle to local people” when becoming operational.Pivotal roleSiming district is playing a pivotal role in Xiamen’s initiative to build a cross-Straits financial hub.According to the district government, in the first half of 2013, the district’s financial and insurance enterprises generated revenue totaling more than 6.6 billion yuan, an increase of 9.3 percent year-on-year.Government officials said these companies have offered strong financial support for local growth and cross-Straits business cooperation.Another driver of growth is Siming’s advantages in terms of high-quality human resources. The district is home to seveself storageal renowned higher learning and research institutes, including the prestigious Xiamen University.The district government has also implemented a talent plan, with a 100-million-yuan fund to support talent development.The district also regularly hosts academic activities, inviting famous experts and scholars to give lectures to local researchers and students.Amid rapid economic and social transformation, the local government wants to make sure that all the residents, especially those lower-income families, can enjoy a better life.One of the efforts is the “warm-heart supermarket”, an invention by the district in May 2004. In these supermarkets, donated goods are displayed on shelves and needy people can choose what they want for free.The goal of the supermarket is to let people get help while keeping their dignity, government officials said.So far, 1,200 families have received continuous help from the service.Now the “warm-heart” initiative has evolved into a public welfare brand, including 11 supermarkets, 26 online schools, six classrooms, 12 canteens and 40 community funds under the same name.Investment projectsThe Siming district is bringing a number of investment projects to the 17th China International Fair for Investment and Trade, which opens today in Xiamen, to seek potential partners from China and abroad.The following are the major projects:Developments relating to the cross-Straits financial hub.

Cross-Straits e-commerce park: office buildings for e-commerce businesses.highlightUnique HistorySiming, which means “missing the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)”, was given its name by renowned general Zheng Chenggong.After the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) force defeated the Ming in the north, Zheng still led an army in Fujian province to defend the struggling Ming.He named the place where his army was stationed as the Siming prefecture in 1650.Zheng led a navy force from Xiamen to Taiwan to fight against the Dutch invaders in 1661. After several decisive victories, the Dutch were forced to leave Taiwan, and the island became Zheng’s last stronghold against the Qing, which had already seized most of the Chinese mainland.Zheng was a diehard loyalist to the Ming Dynasty, which made it impossible for him to return to the mainland. Unable to return to his homeland because of the continued strife, he died in 1662 in Taiwan.In the early years of the Republic of China period (1912-1949), Siming county was established with an area covering today’s Xiamen city and Kinmen county of Taiwan.In 1950, the Siming district was founded at the central part of Xiamen.A huge Zheng Chenggong statue has been erected on the Gulangyu Island to commemorate this national hero.迷你倉

  漫畫:CFP供圖  8月29日,self storage據媒體報道,西安市長安南路華東服飾廣場北側一家餐館開業時,懸掛的祝賀條幅讓過往路人為餐館老闆的“人脈關係”所折服,5家祝賀單位分別為:西安市公安局、市檢察院、市工商局、市城管局以及市監獄管理局。  餐館自制政府部門條幅為“撐面子”  9月2日,一名在場人士告訴中國青年報記者,8月29日,該餐館門前許多熱氣球將數個條幅拉在空中,很是扎眼。  “條幅是紅底白字,大致內容就是這幾家政府部門恭賀‘西華門吳記羊血大王開業’。那些熱氣球飄起來至少有三層樓高,引來很多圍觀群�。大家都在議論,有人說這老闆夠有背景的,也有人說是在胡扎勢(方言,即顯擺)。”他回憶說。  據該人士介紹,“圍觀者大部分是看熱鬧的,覺得這肯定是個噱頭。新店開業,為了吸引更多人注意,來這吃飯。整體上的感覺,這家餐館弄得氣勢有點過大,非常刺眼,影響肯定不好。”  據他介紹,這家餐館整體建築面積為400平方米,經營區為一層。“原來的老店在西華門附近,老闆準備了半年時間,剛剛搬到新地址。我想,他是希望今後在這兒做買賣更順利些,就聲稱是政府部門送來的。畢竟不知情的人看到這些條幅,再想來滋事肯定會有所顧忌。條幅上提到的公安、城管、工商,都是和他開店關係比較密切的單位。”他說。  9月2日,西安市公安局雁塔分局(以下簡稱“雁塔分局”)相關工作人員就此事回應了中國青年報記者。  據介紹,8月29日,西安市公安局雁塔分局明德門派出所(以下簡稱“明德門派出所”)接到群�舉報稱:長安南路華東服飾廣場北側一“羊血大王”餐館開業時懸掛市檢察院、市公安局、市工商局、市城管局、市監獄管理局“祝賀開業大吉”的條幅,引起周圍群�的質疑。  明德門派出所民警接到舉報立即出警,將當事店主楊某帶回調查。據瞭解,涉事店主楊某系西安市未央區人。事後,楊某已承認:為了擴大新開業飯店的影響力和知名度,避免在經營過程中一些不必要的麻煩,擅自在街邊一家廣告店花費2000元製作了政府相關部門的祝賀條幅。飯館開業當天,楊某未經相關部門同意便假冒政府機關名義懸掛了上述5條祝賀條幅。  雁塔分局相關工作人員表示,楊某的做法是自我炒作,屬於虛假宣傳,不僅構成了侵權,同時損害了政府形象,誤導了公�。目前,楊某已被依法處以行政拘留的處罰。“商家要合法經營,以誠信取勝。假冒政府機關名義發佈虛假廣告、進行虛假宣傳,破壞政府機關在群�心目中的形象,屬於擾亂社會秩序行為,應承擔相應的法律責任。”  事發後,楊某解釋稱:“以前老店生意不錯,因為拆遷不得不搬,籌備了6個月,將原有資本加上借貸的60多萬元,總共投了100多萬元進去。花2000元做了這些牛氣的橫幅,沒想到讓自己觸犯了法律。”  他表示自己“意識還是淺”,“新店是想撐個臉面,本來說不要氣球,後來說有氣球氣氛好一些,一弄氣球底下又得掛些字,所以就想寫這個(條幅)撐個面子。”  明德門派出所民警李新紅曾向媒體介紹,針對楊某的處罰依據為《治安管理處罰法》第51條規定,按照相關規定對其處以3日行政拘留。  經營者為何要和政府部門“套近乎”  此次事件最終以一場鬧劇收場。不過,這樣的鬧劇曾在多地上演。  2010年8月,四川省郫縣紅光鎮一家名為“妙味天香食府”的餐廳開業。當天,餐廳門口懸掛了該鎮政府和派出所等單位的祝賀條幅。此後,紅光鎮政府黨政辦主任表態“條幅是酒店自己掛的”,並稱“不允許借政府之名炒作”。  2011年9月,黃山市祁門縣一家茶餐廳開業,門口赫然懸掛安慶市人民政府、懷寧縣人民政府、祁門縣人民政府等部門的祝賀條幅。事後,牽涉其中的政府機關均否認與此有關。該茶樓老闆則解釋:自己是外地人,初來祁門開店,人生地不熟,擅自制作政府祝賀條幅,是想以此顯示自己有背景,避免受欺負。  餐館開業竟不惜違法違規借政府之名炒作——一些經營者的聲音似乎可以回答這其中的緣由。  李英慧在四川省南部某縣經營一家酒樓。“在我們縣上,這家酒樓算是規模比較大的了。一二層為飯店,三四層有客房。餐廳面積有300平方米左右,經營了將近20年。主要是做家常川菜,賣給過路的司機,或者承辦當地酒席。”她告訴中國青年報記者。  她表示,從一開始籌備開酒樓,就得和多個政府部門打迷你倉道。“比如,有很多手續需要通過政府部門審批,餐飲業主要是工商、營業執照、健康證、衛生許可證等。衛生許可證每年都要更新一次。消防、衛生也都有檢查要求,這些審核每年都要更新一次。”  “前幾年,我們還和一些政府部門存在債務糾紛。比如,他們來吃飯的花銷會欠著,有時一欠就是好幾年,我們也只能扛著。這兩年稍微好些了。像我們這種小地方,基層幹部的權威很大,我們做買賣求的是平安發財,肯定不願意和他們有過節。”她說。  此外,她也承認,當地政府部門很多公務消費也會在酒樓進行。“這部分收入對我們而言也很重要。另外,酒樓和政府部門關係較好,也可以避免很多社會上的麻煩。總之,不管是為了給別人看,還是為了經營需要,沒有哪個做買賣的人不願意和政府部門搞好關係。”她說。  王萍(化名)是北京市海澱區一家餐館的經營者。“餐館不大,90平方米左右,主要經營川味家常菜,到今年已經開了9年。”她告訴中國青年報記者。  “和政府部門打交道的地方很多。比如,最近相關部門來查餐館的煤氣管道是否合格。如果沒有單獨的煤氣間或煤氣間有易燃品等,工作人員來檢查時都會拍照,然後經營者確認是否存在問題,再接受整改。整改後再拍好照去相關部門,同時接受罰款。罰款是有依據的,還會開出罰單,到指定銀行去辦理,交完款會有回執單。”她說。  不過她表示,這屬於“規範的操作模式”。“還拿檢查煤氣管道這個事來說,也有一些管理者在鑽空子,尤其是在偏僻、較小的片區。有時管理部門來檢查,說罰就罰,說罰500元就罰500元。罰款也是當場給現金,依據、罰單、回執什麼都沒有。這種情況下,你就必須和管理部門搞好關係。如果認識人,可能打個招呼就算了,如果沒有,就得認罰。”她說。  “經營者肯定願意和城管、工商、衛生、公安部門搞好關係。而且,這樣一來,周圍的商戶也不太敢找麻煩。”她說。  “除了開業之初有很多打交道的地方,餐廳開起來後,衛生許可、營業執照、員工健康證、自來水合格檢測等,都得定期檢查。如果有熟悉的人,事情就好辦多了。很多都不用親自去,找別人把資料拿去就可以。而且,可以更早地瞭解到新政策。”王萍說。  商家“權力依賴”引反思  許多商家打出政府“旗號”,引起不少學者的關注。  “這一現象折射出的深層社會問題令人深思。商家之所以想方設法與政府‘套近乎’,說到底還是為了給自己抬身價。這在很大程度上緣于對權力的崇拜和依賴,期待借此來顯示自己有背景、有後台。”媒體評論員翟春陽表示。  “曾有多家媒體曝光地方政府公款吃喝打白條事件。從這些事件中我們可以感受到,在政府職能部門面前,飯店經營者明顯處於弱勢地位。”他說,“如果不接受官員打白條、主動與之套近乎,甚至會面臨經營風險,關門停業都是有可能的。尤其在一些欠發達、偏遠地區,由於對權力的監督、舉報渠道不暢通,商業經營中對官員、行政的依賴程度更高。”  國家行政學院公共行政教研部主任竹立家認為,當前在公共管理中,很多人對行政權力都存在較大的依賴性,常常樂於尋找權力庇護。  “經營者希望借此尋求特殊政策,依靠行政權威幫助自己。其實很多經營者的解釋已經道出了其中原委:擅自掛政府祝賀條幅,無非是想顯示自己有背景,避免受欺負。與其說這樣的心理是一種權力崇拜,不如說是對權力的畏懼。”他說。  他認為,這樣的現象值得深省。“政府部門原本應俯身為公�服務,但是現在不少幹部卻成了公�服務的對象。一些基層幹部行為失範、失樸、失德比較嚴重,‘吃、拿、卡、要’成了一些人的生存手段,損害了幹部隊伍的整體形象。作為餐館的經營者,不滿足官員要求,他們可以找到很多辦法刁難你。”  “更讓人擔憂的是,這類畸形的官文化不斷衍生並滲透至別的領域。在這種情況下,出現假冒政府部門的條幅就不足為奇了。”他說。  國家行政學院經濟學教研部副主任張孝德表示:“理想的狀況下,政府、市場各司其職,政府提供良好的社會秩序和市場環境,商業機構依法經營、照章納稅,政府對市場應該是服務而非控制關係。這是健康的經濟社會應該具備的秩序。而現在商家打著政府的幌子行事,說到底還是社會或市場環境欠佳。管理部門要反思,如何為商家提供更加健康有序的經營環境。”他說。 (駱沙 羅元媛)標簽:楊某 做買賣 條幅 打白條 行政拘留文件倉

Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉價錢Sept. 07--Head coach Bill Blankenship fears his team may have believed its press clippings. Assistant head coach Denver Johnson mulled the possibility that some players had felt entitled.If last week's 34-7 loss at Bowling Green shows the University of Tulsa football team one thing, it's that they're probably not as good as they thought they were -- or as bad as they looked.That kind of loss should remove any sense of entitlement."You do worry about that coming off a very successful year," Johnson said. "There's a certain comfort or complacency, maybe, that sets in and maybe you kind of take it for granted, like, 'That's how it's gonna happen.' "Everyone dreads it. No one wants to believe it. But coaches at every level fight it."We have really good hindsight," Blankenship said, "but it's hard to have foresight."Now, with Colorado State in town intent on giving the Golden Hurricane an 0-2 start, what does TU do about it?Oklahoma and Iowa State are up next, so Saturday's 6 p.m. home game against the Rams is pretty close to a must-win game.Quarterback Cody Green took some heat this week for his uneven performance at Bowling Green, but Blankenship and his staff insist defeat was a total team effort.Look no further than the TU offensive line to substantiate that.With three new starters up front, the Golden Hurricane needed a consistently efficient blocking effort against the Falcons, but didn't get it. Game-breaking running backs Trey Watts and Ja'Terian Douglas, who averaged 6.0 and 6.8 yards per carry last season while rushing for 152 yards per game and 10 touchdowns, managed only 2.0 and 1.8 yards per carry against BGSU, respectively, and never got close to the end zone. The longest run by either man was 7 yards. Green also couldn't get any space when he ran the football.Bowling Green returned eight starters from a defense that ranked sixth nationally in 2012. So give credit where credit is due."They're good," said Johnson, who coaches TU's offensive line. "Not to take anything away from Bowling Green, but we should have played a different ballgame. And had we played a different ballgame, I think the outcome probably would have been different."At 34-7, that sounds unlikely at first. But it was only 6-0 at halftime, and Tulsa had left 13 points off the board with missed field goals and a red zone fumble.Guards Jake Alexander and Stetson Burnett are Tulsa's only full-time returning starters on the offensive line. Center Gabe Moyer previously had five car迷你倉er starts, left tackle Garrett Stafford had two and right tackle Davis Walton is a newcomer with a year in redshirt and two in junior college. Experience isn't plentiful, but it's certainly not nonexistent.If the O-line had gotten the running game going, maybe Green feels a little more comfortable and doesn't miss those open receivers. Maybe kicker Carl Salazar is relaxed and hits those field goals.In any case, Johnson didn't push the self-destruct button for this week's game against Colorado State. The same five guys will start again, he said. That's a good thing, Blankenship said."I feel as well as I did before that it's the right guys," Blankenship said. "I think there may be a little more of a learning curve than what we were hoping."Said Johnson, "We had kind of expanded our offense a little bit, and I think there was a little bit of confusion, which causes you to play hesitant sometimes. Some of it was technical. And sometimes you've just got to tip your hat to (Bowling Green). Their interior linemen were good players."So there it is.Saturday night against CSU, Tulsa will simplify a few blocking schemes, Watts and Douglas will find some running lanes, Green will relax and hit his receivers and maybe even Salazar will split the uprights.Johnson said "we were as shocked as anybody" about last week's result, but looking back said maybe he should have seen it coming."I never got a feel that we had a great sense of urgency against Bowling Green, which we should have," Johnson said. "Johnson, a veteran of 28 college football seasons, looks at the early turnover and two missed field goals as a perfect teaching tool to move forward."I think what guys don't realize is, you come off a great year like (2012), you were probably six or eight plays away from being .500. That's any given year," he said.Blankenship recalls a similar scenario last season, when TU lost 38-23 at Iowa State in the opener, then simply got better each week en route to seven consecutive wins, an 11-3 record and a Conference USA championship."We weren't very good in the offensive line after Week 1 (last season)," Blankenship said. "But we've got great coaches and really smart young men that learn how to play. They're gonna continue to grow and gel and I'm confident coach Johnson will get them to play well."Read John E.

Source: St.文件倉 Louis Post-DispatchSept. 07--BALLWIN --Firefighter Kevin Bacon could tell by the tone of the dispatcher's voice that the call was serious."I was on the ambulance that day, but the call was for a vehicle fire, so I grabbed my gloves right out of the gate," he said.The driver had been southbound on Highway 141 that afternoon in July 2012 before he suddenly veered off the right side of the road. The SUV careened into a ditch, then went airborne, barrel rolling into a yard below the highway, on Green Lantern Lane.Bacon's ambulance from West County Fire & EMS got there first. The Mazda Tribute was on fire with smoke so thick it was filling the back yard.The SUV had landed upside down, and the driver was pinned underneath."I looked underneath the wreckage, and I thought, 'This guy's dead,'?" Bacon said. "He was folded in half, and he was a blue-purple color."Bacon's partner, Cody Jennemann, ran to the front of the yard to tell the other firefighters to bring a longer hose.Meanwhile, the fire was spreading quickly and starting to burn one of the driver's shoes.So Bacon, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 230, picked up the more than 3,000-pound SUV and threw it on its side. Then he pulled the driver away from the vehicle."I'm extremely strong," Bacon said about being able to lift the SUV. "I had just lifted weights before the call came out. I think that helped because I was warmed up when I got there."Bacon said that once he got the vehicle out of the way, the man's torso flipped back into a normal body position and his color improved."I saw his stomach move, and I thought 'Oh, this guy has got l存倉fe in him.'?"Bacon reached into the driver's mouth to clear his airway, and he gasped for air."I yelled, 'This guy's alive,'?" and we loaded him up and were moving," he said.The driver, Norman Scherrer, 50, of Valley Park, had broken several ribs and his back in two places and had to have a stent placed in a heart valve."I basically was unconscious for a week," Scherrer said in a recent interview. "It was touch and go."But Scherrer survived, and five months later he was back to work as a laborer for Missouri American Water Company."They say cats have nine lives; I don't know how many lives I have, but I know I used up one of them," Scherrer said. "I was very, very blessed to have lived through this one."Scherrer said he didn't remember anything about the crash, but he described his rescuer as an extremely special hero."What he did was a miracle, is all I can tell you," he said. "I owe it to him."Bacon, now 38 and a 14-year veteran, shrugged off the praise, instead saying that the most impressive aspect of the rescue is that it took only 11 minutes from the time they got on scene until they arrived at the hospital.Bacon was awarded the Class II Silver Medallion from the Greater St. Louis Fire Chiefs Association in 2012 for his efforts. It's the group's second-highest award.But he said knowing that Scherrer was walking, talking and back with his children was better than the award."That's what this job's all about," he said. "It's why we come to work."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Source: Bangor Daily News, MaineSept.自存倉 07--BANGOR, Maine -- When it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, there are differences between men and women, and that means treatment programs need to be different, local substance abuse providers learned Friday at a conference about addiction and recovery."Some of the biological differences are pretty well known," Trip Gardner, chief psychiatric officer for Penobscot Community Health Care, told the group during a panel discussion. "Most of the studies show that women get sicker -- quicker."They have a shorter time [to getting sick] from use, to regular use, to dependency and are more likely to get consequences," he said.Gardner spoke at the "Addiction and Recovery for Women: Celebrating Empowerment and Renewal" conference hosted by the Husson Institute for Continuing Health Care Education and held at the Hilton Garden Inn.He was flanked on the panel by Superior Court Justice Andrew M. Mead; Bangor police Officer Jason McAmbley, community relations officer; Guy Cousins, director of the Maine Office of Substance Abuse; Anne Giggey, director of the Hope House, a homeless shelter for those with drug and alcohol abuse issues; and Christopher Gardner, special agent with the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.Across the room was keynote speaker Christine E. Grella, a professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the Integrated Substance Abuse Programs, Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles."Women and men follow different pathways into treatment and present with different clinical profiles," Grella said.Men are often urged by a loving spouse or family to seek treatment, whereas drug and alcohol addicted women typically seek treatment on their own and are often in relationships with users of the drug or alcohol they are trying to escape, the UCLA professor noted.Having children in the mix also complicates things for women, who worry about the social stigma associated with addiction, as well as the fear of losing their little ones, she said.Women often show up at the doors of the treatment facility with emotional and other baggage that needs to be dealt with, Grella said."When they make their way to treatment, they present with more complicated problems," she said, listing mental health, trauma, parenting, lack of economic self-sufficiency and relationship problems amongst some of the issues many women abusing drugs a迷你倉新蒲崗d alcohol need to deal with as part of their treatment."Treatment for substance use disorders among women is most effective when it addresses the broad range of issues that accompany substance use among women," she said."Women are often dealing with depression and any number of other issues, so the addiction treatment needs to address not only using the substance," Grella added. "For women, stopping the substance is just the first part."When women learn to "slowly unpack those issues" -- and Grella admitted that "it's a process" -- they are more successful with treatment.Three women in recovery spoke at the conference, telling stories of using drugs to overcome past traumas, "fooling" business partners and loved ones before falling into the hole they dug for themselves, and their struggles to pull themselves out."If you are stuck in the past, it only leads to one outcome -- relapse," said a young mother in recovery named Sarah.Taking proactive steps to stop people from using drugs and alcohol by encouraging education or future career paths, even if it's a minimum wage job, can steer people away from problems, McAmbley said."Jail is not the answer," the Bangor police officer said.MDEA agent Christopher Gardner noted that different parts of the state are dealing with different drugs, with meth and methamphetamines a problem in The County, bath salts and diverted prescription pills a problem in the Bangor and Rockland areas, and heroin showing its ugly face in Portland, southern Maine and along the coast.Gardner said he knows the work he is doing pays off because he often hears from people he has busted."We have people who send us Christmas cards saying they wouldn't be alive today if they hadn't been arrested," he said.When a nurse in the audience asked what to do for homeless clients when she knows they need services but have nowhere to turn, Cousins answered by introducing a new program called "The Path," which is designed to help with the transition from homelessness."There are a lot of resources that people are not aware of," Cousins said.Just taking the time to talk to people suffering with addiction by itself can be empowering, said Alanna S. Stetson, former director for the Husson institute."You may be planting a seed," she said.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine) Visit the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine) at .bangordailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉出租

Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.mini storage 07--We're all at risk of getting rabies from feral cats that live in outdoor colonies throughout the country, according to a new article published in the scientific journal Zoonoses and Public Health."Any effective control program will need to be multifaceted and will likely need to include the removal of free-roaming cats," says Jesse Blanton, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and one of the authors.Cats and dogs should be playing by the same rules, says the article: "Requirements for rabies vaccination and prohibitions against free-roaming should be applied to cats as they are generally applied to dogs."Five of the authors work for the CDC, one for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and one for the American Bird Conservancy. Most of us have never seen this journal. Some might wonder, what are "zoonoses"? They are infectious diseases, including rabies, that animals can give to people.The American Bird Conservancy issued a news release about the article.In recent years, the group has issued many news releases decrying the large numbers of song birds and other wildlife killed by feral and free roaming cats. An estimated 60 million to 100 million feral cats roam throughout the United States, the article says.More than 90 percent of rabid animals are wildlife, especially bats, raccoons, foxes and skunks, the article says. But feral and free roaming cats come in contact with wildlife and then come in contact with people, putting us at risk, "especially children, as they are more likely than adults are to approach cats."There are "dramatic shifts" in the numbers of domestic animals with rabies, the article says. In 1946, reported rabies cases were 8,384 dogs and 455 cats. In 2011, the documented rabies numbers were 70 dogs and 303 cats.Thirteen rabid animals were reported in Allegheny County in the first eight months of 2013 -- six bats, six raccoons and one cat.Here's the official rebuttal to the article from Alley Cat Allies, which supports trap-neuter-return programs for feral cats:"This is fear mongering, and it can have disastrous consequences for cats," said Becky Robinson, president and co-founder of the group, which claims 500,000 supporters.The article "that calls for eradicating feral cats is biased and grossly exaggerates the potential rabies threat from cats," Ms. Robinson said. Rabies vaccines are "a standard and immensely valuable element of [trap-neuter-return] programs."These programs have been "extremely effective in stabilizing and reducing cat populations," and more than 330 counties and cities "endorse and embrace TNR," Ms. Robinson said.The Zoonoses article said trap-neuter-return programs do not reduce numbers of feral cats, and said cat colonies "might actuaself storagely increase" because people are feeding them. The authors express concern that feral cats get only one rabies shot in their lives.The article calls for "removing" roving cats, not killing them, said Grant Sizemore, cats indoor program officer for the American Bird Conservancy. He suggested that shelters and rescue groups could find homes for the feral cats that are captured.In a phone interview, he said it would help if there were stiff penalties for people who dump cats, but he conceded that would be hard to enforce."The people who care about animals are clashing" over this issue, Mr. Sizemore said. "We are all animal lovers and we are not cat haters."His pet house cat, Amelia Bodelia, experiences the joys of the great outdoors but always on a leash or in a tent.People who trap, neuter, vaccinate and release feral cats are trying to be part of the solution.Locally, the Homeless Cat Management Team has spayed and neutered 14,000 cats in 13 years. Go to .homelesscat.org for clinic dates. Appointments must be made by calling 412-321-4060.Some clinics for ferals are free, thanks to donations. Prices for pet cats are $50 to spay females and $35 to neuter males.Spaghetti for catsA spaghetti dinner to benefit FosterCat Inc. will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. next Saturday at Wallace Memorial Presbyterian Church, 1146 Greentree Road, Green Tree (15220). Tickets are $9 for adults and $4 for children. There will be auctions and raffles and jewelry, art and cat toys for sale. Get tickets at .fostercat.org or call 412-653-3660.Crafton dog swimAlthough public pools traditionally close on Labor Day, the swimming season isn't over for dogs.The first annual Doggie Paddle will be from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Sept. 15 at the Crafton pool, 117 W. Steuben St.The event host is Pool Together, a committee formed to help with the borough's $1.5 million renovation of the outdoor pool.Dogs are invited to "swim their paws off" for $10 per canine. The donation is $1 for spectators. Proceeds will go to the pool work.Local pet vendors have donated prizes for categories including best swimmer and most unusual pet swimwear. Doggie lifeguards will be on deck, but owners are responsible for their pets. Aggressive dogs will be removed "and sent to the doghouse."Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and possess a current dog license.Pet Tales appears weekly in the Saturday Home & Garden section.
