船名「姜太公」 寓意闖「釣魚」島
香港文匯報訊 翟墨駕駛帆船前往釣魚島的消息,文件倉引起廣泛關注。據大眾網報道,翟墨在山東日照的好友杜先生透露,此次翟墨是從日照出發,他所駕駛的「姜太公」號帆船其實就是之前其在香港註冊的「新日照號」帆船,設備經改造升級。被問及好友為何要去釣魚島,杜先生說:翟墨要去的目的地不是釣魚島,去釣魚島只是中國公民到自己領土旅遊一圈,沒有什麼值得驚訝的地方,翟墨把船名改稱「姜太公」號,更有寓意。翟墨於7月15日曾轉發了一篇《姜太公釣魚,釣的是什麼魚?》文章,不難令人聯想改名意味該船要闖釣魚島。

Reality Check: Former IUP roommates attempt to get ahead of hunt in 'Capture'
Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteAug.文件倉 03--Antoine Burton and Kareem Dawson became friends, then roommates during the 2011-12 school year at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.But the highs and lows of dorm living must pale in comparison to their latest endeavour: competing as a team in a run-for-your-figurative-life reality show on The CW."Capture" debuted Tuesday as a summer series, and although the network takes careful pains to avoid any comparison to "The Hunger Games," it was difficult not to draw that image as 11 teams of two people broke from the starting gate and ran into the vast Hunting Grounds.A 12th team -- a former homeless couple skilled in parkour and assigned purple as its signature color -- was designated as hunter. Dressed in gray vests, they stayed behind for a bit, then set off in pursuit. Armed with high-tech flashing discs called "talons," they were given four hours in the first day to run down another team and affix the device to one of the prey's back.By chance, the first team they came across was the Green: Mr. Burton and Mr. Dawson."Oh, the first time we saw those gray hunters vests, it was scary," said Mr. Burton, a graduate of Ambridge High School now living in Aliquippa."So I'm thinking, 'Man, they're so nimble, fast, sneaky and they have endurance ... I thought 'stick to what you know,' which is being fast as all get-out."Mr. Burton has been a track and field sprinter since childhood and played cornerback on the IUP football team.Although they escaped, the Yellow team wasn't as fortunate. The Hunting Grounds are at 6,000 feet, with a lake and rocks and trees. The altitude got to one of the women, who began throwing up."This may be insensitive ..." began her partner, who then proceeded to ask her to vomit more quietly.One of "Capture's" intriguing aspects is the use of GPS. All of the teams are being monitored, and if anyone stops in one place to rest for more than three minutes, his or her location is revealed on the other teams' devices for the duration of the hunt.Team Yellow got into an argument, stood around for too long and were eventually caught. Although Purple caught another team the next day, a tribal council of sorts sent Yellow home.Mr. Burton joked that his friend used to call him "the survival expert," and indeed, he has camping skills. But the conditions on "Capture" were tough. Each team could rest on a small metal frame and were given tarps in case of rain.Of course, it began to hail on the first day, and the temperature dropped to 35 degrees."When you see the hail coming down and you think, 'How the heck am I going to get through this, and it's only Day 1.' But then you realize $250,000 is on the line. Forget about the weather conditions."Contestants were given food rations according to body weight, which p存倉obably fueled more than one fight between teams."Any time you're out in the Hunting Grounds, any time you're out anywhere and you don't have enough food, you become a grouch by nature," said Mr. Burton, adding that he and Mr. Dawson nonetheless got along just fine.The latter is from Philadelphia.After watching Episode 1, he said, he was surprised by two things. First, "I noticed I had a Pittsburgh-ese accent! I'm sitting there [watching myself say,] 'Oh you know what, if we go dahn der, the trail's dahn der.' "And, he adding laughing, "I saw myself in a different light, and I was impressed, though. I saw I actually had charming good looks."'Face Off' opens with specialSyfy's excellent "Face Off," (Tuesdays) returns in all its gory glory Aug. 13, but first, fans can sample a two-hour special Tuesday, "The Vets Strike Back."Season 5 of the special effects makeup reality competition features a twist this year. Eight newbies are joined by eight contestants from previous seasons. The "Vets" special will include interviews with the artists as well as highlights and lowlights from previous seasons.Among the returning artists are Alana Rose Schiro and Eric Zapata, graduates of the Tom Savini Special Make-Up Effects school in Monessen.Designer hangs onOn "Brother vs. Brother," (HGTV, Sundays), Team Drew took a hit with hideous color choices for a brick fireplace and learned why horizontal stripes are shunned when you're wallpapering a small area. Still, University of Pittsburgh grad Christy Biberich impressed with her project and was safe from elimination.To the 'Pointe'Tryouts for "Cinderella" are winding down, and the dancers at Ballet West are getting antsy. So it's time for another party on "Breaking Pointe" (The CW, Mondays).This time it's a surprise birthday event at a nice cabin in the mountains. Salt Lake City looks lovely with the gently falling snow.Pittsburgh native Allison DeBona, 29, revisits a bit of drama involving her career in dance.

Tiffin University online unit announces abrupt closure
Source: The Blade, Toledo, OhioAug.儲存 03--At age 51, Joan Coressel thought she had college and career plans figured out. The Port Clinton woman who bartended while raising her children was ready for a new start.In August, 2011, she enrolled at Ivy Bridge College, Tiffin University's online associate's degree division.Two years later, she had completed 55 of her needed 61 credits with a 3.69 grade point average at a cost of $20,000. She planned to finish in February.On Thursday she found disconcerting news on Facebook: Ivy Bridge College is closing Oct. 20."I was planning on moving after I finished my degree. Well, now I'm in limbo," she said. "I have no idea what I am going to be doing."Ivy Bridge notified students this week via Facebook and email that Tiffin University was discontinuing its degree programs through Ivy Bridge.The closure is sudden, although Ivy Bridge has been the subject of scrutiny for months. But in response to inquiries from The Blade that began more than a month ago about Ivy Bridge, university officials never indicated it could close.Until recently, Tiffin University leaders looked to unload Ivy Bridge, which began enrolling students in 2008. Current and former university officials said the plan all along was to gain independent accreditation for the school. That would be enticing to investors, because Ivy Bridge could issue its own degrees, once authorized by the state. Once independent, the school could then be sold and possibly run as a for-profit college.Tiffin University President Paul Marion said the accreditation proposal was withdrawn after it became apparent it would not be supported by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The commission is one of six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education that gives the formal stamp of approval to higher education institutions; it accredits Tiffin University's programs.Ivy Bridge's closure comes amid heightened scrutiny of for-profit colleges and the Higher Learning Commission, which had accredited many of those schools."[The Higher Learning Commission] has long been a home base for big for-profits, because of geography and a belief that the commission had a relatively welcoming view of the sector," a 2013 Inside Higher Ed story said.The regulatory environment shifted several years after Ivy Bridge started. For-profit colleges faced scrutiny over their large share of Pell Grant usage compared to their market share; most students who attend for-profit schools are low-income and qualify for the federal grant. In 2009 and 2010, the federal government released reports that criticized some for-profit schools for deceptive enrollment practices and possible student aid fraud.Criticism of for-profits has continued, with a two-year Senate committee audit that blasted the industry for, among other things, aggressive recruitment, poor graduation rates, high tuition, and excessive amounts spent on marketing.The Higher Learning Commission also faced federal scrutiny, including a 2010 U.S. Department of Education analysis that determined the commission did not have credit hour definitions or minimum program length requirements, which the analysis said could result in inflated credit hours and over-awarding of federal funds.Original planWhat ended in Ivy Bridge's failure started as a novel investment idea.Ivy Bridge formed out of conversations in early 2007 between Cam Cruickshank, then TU's vice president for enrollment, and Paul Freedman, then an employee of a software company the university used as a vendor. Mr. Freedman had an idea to start an online transfer college, Mr. Cruickshank said, and planned to buy a struggling Cleveland-area college.The purchase of budget-strapped nonprofit colleges -- and their prized accreditations -- by companies to turn into for-profit institutions was in vogue at the time.Mr. Cruickshank said he suggested instead of purchasing a college, Mr. Freedman and he could collaborate on a partnership with Tiffin University. Mr. Freedman formed a company called Altius Education, which would handle the marketing and enrollment for the school. Tiffin would provide the academics.While much of Ivy Bridge looks typical, some of its operations stand out.Tiffin University is, like most U.S. higher education institutions, nonprofit. Ivy Bridge operates academically as an arm of TU, but it is controlled by the limited liability company, Altius University, that is registered in Delaware.Concerns raisedThe Blade began asking TU officials about Ivy Bridge after concerns were raised to the paper about how transcripts were issued by the school and its relationship to the university. During repeated inquiries, TU leaders downplayed the effects of its failure to get independent accreditation and never hinted Ivy Bridge could close.Mr. Marion新蒲崗迷你倉said college officials received a July 25 letter from the Higher Learning Commission that he said dictated the closure.Mr. Freedman said the issue was prompted by commission rules that changed after Ivy Bridge's founding. He said the commission provided a positive review of Ivy Bridge in 2010, but in 2012, TU "reminded" the commission of its plans to seek independent accreditation for the program.After learning the commission was not likely to support that move, Mr. Freedman said Ivy Bridge was willing to drop it.But he said the commission had concerns the LLC was not properly approved per their change in rules in 2011."Tiffin was told under no uncertain terms that they would face strict sanctions if they did not comply with the directives," Mr. Freedman said.When asked weeks ago, a commission spokesman would not comment on any specific decisions about Ivy Bridge. But in a written statement issued Friday, the commission said it initiated a review of Ivy Bridge in 2012.The commission said a review's preliminary findings raised concerns about course quality, academic rigor, student retention, and lack of participation by TU in financial decision-making.The commission said it gave Tiffin University a choice: Resubmit Ivy Bridge for approval or break ties with Altius.In a Thursday announcement, Altius Education claimed the commission said TU must discontinue offering degrees through Ivy Bridge. Mr. Marion said the difference in the two sides' explanation is "a little bit of semantics, I suppose."Revenue generationTuition revenue generated from Ivy Bridge students is deposited in the LLC's account, then split between Tiffin and Altius, according to a TU spokesman. Full-time tuition for Ivy Bridge is $4,463 per semester this fall, more than twice what an Ohio resident taking 12 credits at Owens Community College would pay.Both Mr. Marion and Mr. Cruickshank originally cited a confidentiality agreement that precluded them from discussing the financial breakdown of Altius University.But after the closure announcement, Mr. Marion said Ivy Bridge was a break-even enterprise for Tiffin.According to tax filings found on GuideStar.org, Tiffin University's revenue rose from about $35.6 million in 2008 to about $58.8 million in 2011, the most recent year available. But Mr. Marion said that increase is because of efficient operations and the growth of the university's master's and bachelor's programs.Mr. Marion's total compensation rose from $320,734 in 2009 to $392,656 in 2011. A university spokesman said that figure is total compensation, not just salary.In 2008, Tiffin had about 2,700 students. Last year, the school had more than 6,900, according to university figures, with more than 2,000 of those Ivy Bridge students.Mr. Freedman said Altius raised about $34 million, a "substantial portion" of which supported Ivy Bridge College. He said Ivy Bridge was profitable last year, but that the money was used to pay back investors. Mr. Freedman and his investors provided start-up funds for Ivy Bridge that Tiffin didn't have."This leaves a big hole in our hearts and also probably [our] wallets," he said.Tiffin University earlier this year laid off 35 full-time employees and two part-time tutors who worked at Ivy Bridge's South Toledo headquarters after failing to get independent accreditation for Ivy Bridge, according to a spokesman. Mr. Marion previously said failure to attain independent accreditation would not impact Ivy Bridge's operations.Officials said they don't yet know how many more jobs may be lost because of Ivy Bridge's closure.Meanwhile, scrutiny of Ivy Bridge continues from the Ohio Board of Regents. Shane DeGarmo, senior director of program development and approval, said the board received a complaint from another higher education institution earlier this year about Ivy Bridge's operations and how transcripts were issued.The complaint said an institution received transcripts from students that were issued by Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University. Ivy Bridge, however, isn't authorized to issue its own transcripts.The board of regents is, by chance, conducting a standard reauthorization review of TU, and Mr. DeGarmo said part of that review now includes inquiries relating to the complaint over Ivy Bridge.Mr. DeGarmo said he doesn't think its review prompted Ivy Bridge's closure.Officials said Ivy Bridge students have options to finish their degree. Among them: Some may be eligible to transfer to Tiffin University's bachelor's degree program. Others may transfer to another college. Ivy Bridge also is working to find one or more institutions to take over the program so students can finish.Contact Nolan Rosenkrans at: or 419-724-6086, or on Twitter .Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Blade (Toledo, Ohio) Visit The Blade (Toledo, Ohio) at .toledoblade.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesmini storage

鄭立中在金出席座談會 泉州最快三年後送水上“門”
【本報訊】綜合中通社╱中央社台北三日電:金門將自大陸接水,self storage大陸國台辦副主任鄭立中表示,自福建泉州山美水庫引至晉江龍湖水庫、再透過海底管線接往金門田浦水庫的路線較為可行。他表示,福建已授權福建省供水公司洽談供水金門事宜,兩岸都授權後就可進行後續工作。供水工程技術沒有問題,可望在一年內完成。閩日供兩萬噸食水由金門縣政府、中華金門產業發展協會主辦的“兩岸促進經貿合作交流座談會”,三日由“立委”楊應雄主持,縣長李沃士、議長王再生、國台辦副主任鄭中立、海基會副秘書長馬紹章、“行政院”相關部會代表、金門縣各界代表參加。據瞭解,台灣已與大陸水利部門達成供水協議,雙方今年八月將開始討論工程細節,最快二○一六年下半年就可“水到渠成”,福建將可每天供應金門兩萬噸食水,解決金門缺水問題。座談會討論了金門向大陸引水議題,金門縣自來水廠長王登緯說明金門大陸引水的必要性,是解決金門地下水超抽、湖庫水質差的最直接、最有效的方案。“水利署”人員表示,兩岸兩會已達成金門從大陸引水的共識,後續兩個引水方案的那個方案、海底輸水管線由誰施工、工程費用負擔方式等仍需雙方進一步協商確定;然後由縣府與對岸協商營運架構、水價迷你倉算方式,確定供水契約,“水利署”會協助。工程技術一年完成鄭立中則表示,福建已授權福建省供水公司洽談供水金門事宜,兩岸都授權後就可進行後續工作。供水工程技術沒有問題,可望在一年內完成。李沃士指出,如金門大橋一樣需突破相關法令,解決向大陸租借海上作業船機的問題;大陸引水也需要“陸委會”協助解除相關法令限制。“陸委會”經濟處代表指出,金門向大陸引水已準備好了,“水利署”將與大陸水利部協調引水事宜,希望國台辦能協助。鄭立中說,由於廈門本島沒有水源,因此從晉江到金門的路線比較可行;泉州山美水庫容量六點五五億立方米,河道也已打通到晉江海邊,未來只要完成十六點七公里海底管線鋪設即可送水上“門”。會議還討論放寬大陸“廈門暫住人口赴金門兩日遊”核發大陸通行證條件;爭取開放廈門民�第二次赴金旅遊、商務考察、公務交流可申請一年多次簽,再逐步爭取開放福建多次簽;金門“小三通”出入境人數減少,加強推動大陸旅客透過“小三通”航線往返金門,每年以一百萬人次為目標;爭取金門高粱酒進口大陸市場零關稅;協助推動金酒公司與大陸農民辦理高粱契作;海漂垃圾汙染金門海域,金廈協同改善;推動福建專科畢業生到金門各大學繼續升學。文件倉

美向國民發出全球旅遊警示
【新報3日綜合外電報道】美國當地時間周五(2日)發出全球旅遊警示,迷你倉出租指受到恐怖組織阿蓋達襲擊的威脅,呼籲美國民眾防範之同時,周日暫時關閉21間在伊斯蘭國家的美國大使館和領事館。隨後,英國、法國和德國也宣布在周日起一連兩天暫時關閉駐也門的大使館。這次旅遊警示是「911」恐襲10周年以來首次,以及是美國駐利比亞班加西大使館遇襲不足一年發出的。班加西使館遇襲導致美國大使和3個美國人喪生。截聽阿蓋達高層通訊美國參謀長聯席會議主席登普西表示:「這是我們對威脅的反應和預防,同時,這次威脅的目標比以往的『更明確』,針對是西方,不但是美國利益。」美國國務院發出的警示,呼籲在海外旅遊的美國人提高警惕,尤其公共運輸系統和著名旅遊區和景點,並希望美國遊客抵�後知會當地美國領事館。聲明又指出,阿蓋達及其盟友的恐怖襲擊威脅儲存倉其存在於中東和北非地區,「有可能源於或發生在阿拉伯半島」。警示會維持至8月31日。《紐約時報》周五晚引述美國官員稱,美國截聽到阿蓋達高層的電子通訊,而得悉這次恐襲陰謀,但美國眾議員羅伊斯拒絕透露,這些恐襲情報是否來自國土安全局監控計劃。英法德關閉駐也門使館另外,英國外交部周五表示,作為「預防措施」,駐也門首都薩那的英國大使館將於周日和周一關閉。法國及德國外交部也發表同樣聲明,稱在這兩天關閉駐也門的大使館,但拒絕透露詳情。美國國務院發言人哈爾夫已宣布,今後幾天,尤其是周日當天將關閉一些美國駐外使領館,特別是在中東和北非地區的使領館,以防範她不願說明的威脅。星期天在阿拉伯國家屬於工作日。去年9月11日晚,美國駐利比亞班加西領事館遭遇恐怖襲擊,美國大使史蒂文斯和另外3名美國人遇難,令美國和世界為之震驚。迷你倉沙田
