信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/成都商報記者 趙素冰核心提示出行提醒國慶將至，mini storage市交委將40多條線路列為預警線路，市民最好錯峰出行。自駕游方面，交警提醒及時瞭解道路交通信息，合理選擇出行線路，預防和減少道路交通事故。如果是火車出行，成鐵局提醒，集中取票可能會出現"打擁堂"狀況，希望旅客今明兩天提前取票，避免耽誤行程。汽車國慶黃金周客流高峰將于明日下午2點到來，明天和後天，市區所有客運站都將提前開門。昨日，成都商報記者從市交委獲悉，明後兩天是國慶客流高峰期，40多條熱門線路被交委列為預警線路，市民最好能夠錯峰出行。"今年國慶客流高峰將接近春運高峰期的流量。"市交委相關負責人表示，今年中秋假期，市區客運站客流量並不大，預計國慶期間將會有市民集中出行。而目前主城區多條道路因地鐵打圍施工，影響各車站疏運效率。預計今年國慶期間客流峰值將出現在9月30日和10月1日，單日客流峰值將達到35萬人次左右。國慶假日運輸有別于春運，客流高峰以井噴方式集中在30日下午、10月1日全天出現，客流峰值增長缺少緩衝期。為此，市交委發出今年國慶客流高峰預警，建議市民合理調整自己的出行計劃，盡可能錯開高峰出行。昨日，市交委公佈了40多條高峰預警線路，而預警線路高峰時段將出現在9月30日14:00∼18：00,10月1日9:00∼15:00。明後兩天，中心城區各汽車客運站將會提前開門，各汽車客運站的重點線路也將會提前發班，通過此舉錯開中心城區道路擁擠時段，加快客運車輛周轉。為確保今年"十一"黃金周期間旅客出行，市交委已經抽調了省應急運力約180台，組織本市應急運力300台，各汽車客運站組織加班運力1200台，共計儲備近1700台運力保障節日期間道路旅客運輸。同時，為提高疏運效率，市交委本著就近出城的原則，對於臨近高速路的客運站在運力配置上有所側重。市交委相關負責人解釋說，就近原則也就是說去往成雅高速方向的旅客儘量前往石羊車站乘車，去往成渝高速方向的旅客儘量前往成都汽車總站和東站汽車客運站乘車，去往成綿高速方向的旅客儘量前往昭覺寺客運站乘車，前往金堂、淮口、青白江方向旅客儘量選擇到商貿城客運站乘車。據瞭解，目前成都汽車票務網（.cdqcp.com/）已開通城區車站各條線路網上售票業務，廣大旅客可提前7天在網上訂購車票，同時城區紅旗超市、利安電超市、部分火車票預售點共計400家門店可預售公路客票，已在網上購票的旅客也可以憑二代身份證或取票驗證碼到上述門店提前換取實體車票。請廣大旅客提早安排出行計劃，提前預購車票，便於自身順暢出行，同時也有利於城區車站作針對性的運調安排。預警線路和車站開門時間成都汽車總站：開門時間：早上5:30。預警線路：內江、簡陽、安岳、樂至、資中、資陽東站汽車客運站：開門時間：早上：7:00（9月30日）、6:30（10月1日）。預警線路：威遠旅遊集散中心：開門時間：早上6:30（9月30日）、6:00（10月1日）。預警儲存路：峨眉、樂山、夾江、洪雅、蒲江、天台山、平樂古鎮、新津、青城山、黃龍溪、碧峰峽等北門汽車站：開門時間：早上6:30（9月30日）、6:00（10月1日）。預警線路：自貢、三台、射洪、鹽亭、中江、南部、閬中、儀隴、青白江茶店子車站：開門時間：早上6:00。預警線路：阿壩（受都汶高速交通管制影響）、都江堰石羊客運站：開門時間：早上6:30。預警線路：樂山、雅安、犍為等昭覺寺客運站：開門時間：早上6:30（9月30日）、6:00（10月1日）。預警線路：德陽、廣漢五塊石客運站：開門時間：早上6:00。預警線路：金堂（含區間）、彭州十陵客運站：開門時間：6:30（9月30日）、6:00（10月1日）。預警線路：南充、廣安、倉山、馮店城北客運中心：開門時間：早上5：30。城東客運中心：開門時間：早上6:30商貿城客運站：開門時間：早上6:00火車網購車票提前取避免"打擁堂"昨日，記者從成都鐵路局瞭解到，國慶將至，很多旅客已經通過互聯網、電話等方式提前購買了車票，不過從目前成鐵局的統計數據來看，9月30日至10月7日，成鐵局管內互聯網預售電子票123.7萬張，其中截至昨日未取車票達到80.1萬張，未取票率為64.7%，其中30日和1日未取票分別為18.4萬張和10.4萬張，近半數購票者尚未提前取票。成鐵局提醒，通過數據來看，國慶前將會出現集中取票的情況，車站取票窗口有限，屆時集中取票可能會出現"打擁堂"狀況，排長隊取票將影響旅客出行效率，因此希望旅客在今明兩天提前取票，避免耽誤行程。成都商報記者 張舒自駕國慶自駕游近郊景區路況早知道繼前日省交警總隊發佈省內高速公路、國道、省道及通往景區主要道路的路況信息後，昨日，成都市交管局發佈了成都近郊景區及主要道路的路況信息。道路暢通：西嶺雪山、花水灣：大雙路（大邑至花水灣、西嶺雪山）道路暢通，大安路（大邑至安仁鎮）道路暢通。石象湖、西來古鎮、朝陽湖、飛仙閣：國道318線、省道106線道路暢通。平樂古鎮、五鳳古鎮、鳳凰湖：道路暢通留意施工路段：青城山：大觀至青城後山兩河路段，受泥石流影響正在修復中，路段因修復施工，路面變窄，請注意控制車速。文井江溫泉、雞冠山森林公園、鞍子河自然保護區：受汛期降雨影響，懷雞公路多處滑坡，存在多處路面修復打圍施工。黃龍溪：雙黃路公興至永安路段，由於元華路沿線修建，與雙黃路部分重合路段施工，前往黃龍溪的車輛需慢行通過繞行打圍便道。天台山：邛名高速夾關站下站後天台山景區道路狹窄，車多流量大，且夾關觀音崖正在施工，道路間斷單向通行。建議從邛崍西下站後，經邛蘆路通往天台山。另外，天台山旅遊環線若遇下雨易發生泥石流。洛帶古鎮：成環路同安至洛帶古鎮打圍施工，但無需繞行，建議避峰出行。不宜前往：銀廠溝：白銀路"鬼招手"路段：因2012年"8·17"泥石流災害損毀，該路段存在嚴重道路交通隱患，禁止所有車輛通行，無繞行方式。九龍溝、雞冠山：自地震後一直未對遊客開放，處於交通管制狀態。劉萍 成都商報記者 王聖迷你倉

樂見大陸實施旅遊法

大陸針對旅遊亂象十月起實施「旅遊法」，儲存修正過去零團費、負團費而造成陸客遭強制購物的現象，規定旅行社不得以不合理的低價組團，也不得安排購物或自行付費活動；新辦法將改變大陸目前旅遊形態，立即可見的現象就是旅遊團費增加，相對的短期陸客人數會減少，但就長遠來看，陸客旅遊會趨於正常，整體觀光環境應屬正向。大陸近年經濟發展快速且人口眾多，已是國際觀光出口大國之一，大陸人士出國觀光成風卻缺乏管理，導致亂象叢生；國際觀光國家對陸客又恨又愛，恨的是陸客團多人眾，成群結隊匆匆而來呼嘯而去，不融入當地社會，且行止毫無章法，愛的則是他們的採購能力，陸客所到之處，購物態度已非採買而是掃貨，在賣場搶購視為常態；這些現象，都是過去陸客組團缺乏管理所致。台灣開放陸客觀光，除了第一批來台陸受到正常接待，此後陸客行程就逐漸變質；其實陸客到全世界遊遊，出國組團的方法都類似，即由組團社組團後，交由各觀光地區的接待社帶領四處觀光；大陸組團社扮演組隊旅行的關鍵角色，想要觀光的陸客繳旅費給組團社，而組成的旅行團也由組團社轉手給各觀光區的接待社，亂象也由此發生。接待社想要接團，就必須巴結組團社，為了能接到客人，接待社先是殺價，降價以求若仍不能收到足夠的旅客，激烈競爭的結果就會出現「零費團」，就是接待社只要有旅客，免費也幹，到了後來，連「負費團」也出現，也就是出錢買旅客；參加這些「零負費團」的陸客，是否要付費給組團社我們並不清楚，但是當這批客人落到接待社手上後，mini storage成了待宰的肥羊。因為陸客在觀光旅遊期間的所有固定支出，包括食宿交通司機導遊及接待社人員的薪資，都要在這數天的行程由陸客的口袋中榨出來。陸客在觀光區成了很特殊族群，國內陸客不少，國人也在觀光區「見識」過陸客的各種「行徑」，由於陸客組團的形態類似，因此這種情形並非在國內所特有，而是全世界共有現象。陸客觀光有個順口溜說：「起得比雞早、跑得比馬還快、睡得比賊晚、吃得比豬還差」，到台灣如此，在其他各國也差不多。陸客要觀光，接待社要賺錢，迫使每天行程必須趁早，因為一路上除了表訂行程之外，還要到許多特定購物中心去採買，還要安排些自費行程，吃飯、睡覺最好不在市區，花費較便宜，這些都會增加「旅遊時間」，陸客每天早起趕路，半夜才能住店，這是零團費必須付出的辛苦代價；若陸客不隨著接待社安排起舞，還可能受辱；網路上就流傳著陸客在香港旅遊，因為購物不熱烈，遭到導遊痛罵的影片。大陸是新的「旅遊法」不但對大陸境內，甚至對全世界的觀光區都會有影響，如今陸客團不能安排購物、不能有自費行程，團費必會增加，對各國觀光是否會有負面影響，也不盡然。以國內而言，起碼觀光區的藝品店可以不必再大做黑心生意，陸客在台行程也不必自清晨到黑夜全日拉車，陸客在台的車禍比率必可降低，不趕行程的陸客，必可緩解觀光區被陸客團塞爆的現象，在國人的眼中可以更有尊嚴；而且陸客來台自由行人數必會增加，觀光局也將把陸客自由行人數由每天二千人提高為三千人，讓陸客可有更深入了解台灣的機會。self storage

Shutdown would affect thousands in NM

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉M.Sept. 28--WASHINGTON -- As the federal government hurtles toward a possible government shutdown beginning Tuesday, thousands of federal employees in New Mexico are bracing for the possibility of furloughs and lost paychecks.Nationally, a shutdown could result in the immediate closure of about 400 national parks and monuments -- 11 of them in New Mexico -- thousands of unprocessed passport applications, suspension of most work at the Bureau of Indian Affairs and other cessation of services across the federal government.The U.S. Senate voted Friday to approve a so-called continuing resolution that would keep the government operating until Nov. 15, but it is unclear whether the Republican-controlled House will approve the measure in a vote expected today.Without House approval of the Senate bill, or some other eleventh-hour compromise, all but essential federal government operations will cease at midnight Monday."A government shutdown would be incredibly destructive to New Mexico," said Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. "It also would come when the state badly needs federal assistance to recover from the (recent rain) storms. I'm doing everything I can to prevent this."Udall and Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., both voted Friday for the resolution to continue keep government open."A government shutdown would ripple throughout the entire economy, shake consumer confidence, delay critical services for seniors and veterans, and hurt hardworking middle-class families in New Mexico," Heinrich said after the vote. "I urge House Republicans to be responsible and work with Demo- crats to get this bill passed, and to send it immediately to the president." In the event of a shutdown, Social Security and Medicare benefits would still be available, and the Postal Service would still deliver mail because its operating budget is paid through revenues.The shutdown could affect paychecks for about 2,100 Pentagon-funded civilian employees at Kirtland Air Force Base, and about 4,000 other workers at New Mexico military installations.Civilian employees at other military installations could also feel the pinch.White Sands Missile Range employs about 2,450 civilian personnel, said public affairs chief Monte Marlin, though not all of them work for the Defense Department.Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo has 840 civilian workers facing potential furloughs, officials said. Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis the base employs about 630 civilians, a spokesman said.Employees at Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories, two of New Mexico's largest federal employers, are expected to stay on 自存倉he job -- at least in the short-term.The labs have sufficient money on hand to continue operating for another month "without significant disruption to the workforce," even if the federal government shuts down, said Jennifer Talhelm, spokeswoman for Udall."In the event of a shutdown, Sandia will continue to operate in the short term by using unspent, prior-year carryover," Sandia President Paul J. Hommer said in a memo to lab employees obtained by the Journal . "Therefore, all members of the workforce should report to work as normal -- and in the days that follow -- unless notified otherwise."Los Alamos management circulated a similar memo to staff on Thursday.A spokesman for Gov. Susa-na Martinez, a Republican, said top state officials are coordinating plans to maintain basic services in the event of a shutdown."There are, of course, potential impacts to funding for programs like TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) and others, but states tend to have balances in reserves that could be used for a period of time to continue services in many of these programs," said Enrique Knell.For Albuquerque, a federal government shutdown could be "hard-hitting," said Dayna Gardner, a spokeswoman for Mayor Richard Berry."City services that could be affected include the airport, before- and after school programs, community development grants, senior meal monies, HUD vouchers among others," she said. "The dollars for these programs could have to be found elsewhere, potentially from the taxpayers of Albuquerque until the federal government gets back on track."Military service members would stay on the job, but they would not be paid during a shutdown, Undersecretary of Defense Robert F. Hale told reporters at a briefing in Washington on Friday.Paychecks for service through Sept. 30 would be issued, but if the shutdown dragged on, military personnel would not get paid on Oct. 15, Hale said.The military would also halt other payments, such as death benefits to armed services family members, he said. Hale said reservists may not get paid, depending on when they work or how long the shutdown lasts."Reserves are trickier, because they are paid at various terms, but I'm hoping we can avoid or minimize disruptions there," Hale said.Lost pay that results from a shutdown could only be recovered by a special congressional appropriation. It's up to HouseObama urges Republicans to pass resolution to keep government going A4Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

Houston Chronicle L.M. Sixel column

Source: Houston ChronicleSept.自存倉 28--Providing health insurance is an expensive benefit for companies to offer to their employees. So it's probably not a surprise that businesses are looking to the new Affordable Care Act to save some money.Over the past few months, companies have been weighing whether to drop their own health care coverage and refer their employees to the new health care marketplace for their care.The new health care exchanges -- which have since been rechristened by the federal government as the "marketplace" -- will open on Tuesday for participants to compare their choices. The new insurance plans will go into effect on Jan. 1.The rules are complex -- companies with 50 or more employees will be required to provide health care for 95 percent of their full-time employees. And the cost of care can't be excessive, which the government defines as 9.5 percent of wages.Businesses covered under the law will be assessed penalties of $2,000 per employee per year beginning in 2015 if they don't provide health care coverage to 95 percent of their full-time employees.While legislators never intended for the marketplace to replace traditional employer-provided health insurance, many companies are weighing the costs and benefits of dropping their coverage and paying the penalties.While some smaller companies will probably opt to shift their employees to the exchanges and pay the penalties, many larger ones have decided that while that might be a good decision financially, doing so likely would make it harder to attract and retain workers.With the plans so new and complex, we asked a few employment experts for their advice for both employers and employees. Here is what they said:Q: Are companies considering whether to shift their employees to the marketplace?A: It's very alluring to employers to get rid of health care altogether, said John Hennessy, national practice leader for health and welfare at the Hay Group in Dallas. Instead of spending $6,000 or $7,000 a year, they figure they can pay the $2,000 penalty and be done with it.But most employers are not pursuing that option, Hennessy said. They may in the future, but they're not going that route now.Companies offer benefits to attract and retain talent, he said. But if they remove one of the key benefits -- health care -- it will likely drive the talent away. They'll go to work for the competition instead."You don't want to be the only one doing it," he said. And the idea of the social contract -- the unwritten pact between employee and employer -- hasn't completely disappeared.The thinking still goes: "With a good job, you get good insurance."Q: Health insurance is expensive. Is it a good idea for employers to shift their employees to the exchanges?A: "Essentially you're giving employees a pay cut," said Jesse Gelsomini, a lawyer who specializes in employee benefits at Haynes and Boone in Houston. Most employers subsidize the cost of employee mini storagensurance, he said.By saying, "You're on your own," the employee would lose that subsidy as well as taking on a sizable tax burden, he said. "It could be a significant hit to the employees' wages."Q: What are the taxing implications?A: Currently, very few employee benefits get the "amazing tax treatment" that health plans enjoy, Gelsomini said. Neither companies or employees pay taxes on the cost or benefits of health plans.The employer portion is also fully deductible as a business expense, he added.However, under the new Affordable Care Act, an employee who doesn't qualify for a government tax subsidy will have to pay for the coverage on an after-tax basis.Q: Are there other reasons employers might be reluctant to move their employees to the exchanges?A: Imagine you're an employer with at least 50 employees and you have a skilled workforce, Gelsomini said. Even if you figure you'll save a few bucks, do you want to run the risk of losing good employees?Q: Do you see signs of companies dropping their coverage and moving employees to the marketplace?A: It will be more common among smaller employers, especially those with contingent workforces, said Michael Barbour, the partner who leads the health care practice in Houston for Mercer, a benefits consulting firm. It will be more of a cost-driven issue."It's not a major wave," he said, "but a dewdrop."Barbour predicts that because the penalties against employers are delayed until 2015, that there won't be significant shift until then.Q: Are all employees below a certain income level eligible for government subsidies?A: No. If your company offers health care coverage and you reject that coverage that meets the qualifications under the Affordable Care Act and use the "marketplace" instead, you're not eligible for the government tax subsidy, Gelsomini said.Q: What are the big hurdles employers face?A: One of the most complicated questions is determining who is a full-time employee. It covers those who work at least 30 hours a week, but it also involves a "look back period" and a "stability period," among other factors.Another key concern is whether companies have properly classified their independent contractors. If it turns out that they're really employees, a company faces a $2,000 per person penalty, including on those employees that it properly classified in the first place."Companies are making sure they're getting that right," said Michael Abbott, an employee benefits lawyer with Gardere in Houston.Companies also face a communications hurdle, Hennessy said. The new law is complicated, and companies are facing a difficult burden administratively.They'll have to staff up in human resources to handle all the questions, he said. And it won't just be the employees and their spouses."Their mother is going to call," he said.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Houston Chronicle Visit the Houston Chronicle at .chron.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存

馬來西亞

mini storage （中國 北京27日訊）官方《解放日報》稱，北京天安門城樓曾在1969年底秘密拆卸及重建。為嚴守秘密，當局修繕前將天安門城樓全部遮擋，並令所有參與重建者嚴守秘密，不准和任何人提起，因為這是政治任務。報導稱，天安門城樓因長期失修導致建築結構嚴重損壞變形，為確保安全，1969年底國務院決定徹底拆除天安門城樓，在原址、按原規格和原建築形式重新修建，建築材料全部更新。翻建要求保持原貌，最大改動是考慮到毛澤東在天安門檢閱時，要從城樓前廊下三步台階才能走到正中的檢閱位置，最後定幹脆取消了台階。;迷你倉
