Source: The Baltimore SunNov.儲存倉 08--If Navy's game last week at Notre Dame was about the history of one of college football's longest series, Saturday's home game against Hawaii is about the heart. Specifically, it is about Ken Niumatalolo's heart.Hawaii is more than just another opponent for the Navy football coach. It is where he went to college to play football after being a star quarterback on Honolulu's North Shore, where he met his future wife, and where he started his family and his coaching career. Some of those memories are bound to return Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium."It's going to be weird seeing them across on the other side of the field," Niumatalolo said this week.As was the case in 2009, when the Midshipmen lost to the Rainbow Warriors, 24-17, at Aloha Stadium, sentiment quickly will be replaced by stark reality for Navy (4-4) and Hawaii (0-8)."We're trying to win a game, just like they are," Niumatalolo said.With Navy coming off a down-to-the-wire 38-34 defeat in South Bend, Ind., quarterback Keenan Reynolds said it's hard to tell that either Niumatalolo or offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper, who also played and coached at Hawaii, has any sort of emotional attachment to Hawaii."Every week is an intense week as far as preparation is concerned," the sophomore said. "They both coach us hard, and I really don't see a difference. They both let us just know we've got to go play and give these guys the respect they deserve and get ready."Niumatalolo concedes that it is different this week because of his friendship with many of the Hawaii coaches, including head coach Norm Chow, and his familiarity with many of the Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii's winless season doesn't change Niumatalolo's opinion."Their coaches are as good as any coaches in the country. They've had opportunities [to win] in a lot of games, a play here or there -- it's just a matter of breaking through," he said. "I know a lot of their players -- I played with their fathers. They're tough, hard-nosed kids. We better be ready to go."Recruited to play in a pro-style Hawaii offense, Niumatalolo spent much of his college career as a backup after Georgia Southern's Paul Johnson was hired as offensive coordinator in his junior year to run something called the triple-option.Bob Wagner, who was the defensive coordinator when Niumatalolo arrived and finished his first season as head coach a few months before Niumatalolo graduated in 1989, said recently of the Navy coach: "If he ever complained or had a problem, I never heard about it. He was just a team guy, a solid person."Wagner, who moved to Annapolis a couple of years ago with his wife to live closer to their daughter, a Washington resident, said Johnson's arrival at Hawaii was not good for Niumatalolo's playing career. But it has ultimately been beneficial to his coaching career."Being exposed to a very good offensive system, especially as a quarterback, nobody understands that offense better than a quarterback," Wagner said.Said Niumatalolo: "In 1986, we had some pretty good players on offense, but we weren't really an explosive offense. When [Johnson] came in, we averaged 30-something points a game. It made me realize that there's something special about this offense."When graduation loomed the following year, Niumatalolo recalled being uncertain about how he was going to support his wife, Barbara, and their baby daughter, Alexcia. Niumatalolo thought about becoming a sportscaster."I didn't know what I wanted to do," said Niumatalolo, who on Saturday can tie Johnson with his 45th victory at Navy, third on the school's all-time list behind George Welsh (55) and Eddie Erdelatz (50). "I was a backup quarterback wondering what I was going to do when I got done playing."At Johnson's urging, Niumatalolo was hired as a graduate assistant and later as a full-time assistant by Wagner. Niumatalolo encouraged another Hawaii quarterback, Navy's Jasper, to follow him into the coaching ranks.Niumatal迷你倉最平lo wasn't sure how things were going to work out."My wife gave me a two-year limit," Niumatalolo said with a smile. "She said, 'OK, you can try this dream for two years, and if it doesn't work, you have to get a real job.' I was very fortunate after that."Niumatalolo is respected back in Hawaii for what he has done since coming to what is called "the mainland." Bobby Curran, a radio host for Honolulu's ESPN affiliate and play-by-play voice on the team's broadcasts, said this week that he had Niumatalolo on his show Wednesday when the subject of what the 48-year-old coach has accomplished came up."He got so emotional, he couldn't talk, he started to choke up," Curran said. "Kenny is still very much like the guy he was here. Everybody always loved Kenny because he's so human. You would almost say his personality doesn't fit the football prototype."Niumatalolo's name has come up for the job at Hawaii, most recently when Greg McMackin was pushed out after the 2011 season. At the time, Niumatalolo was coming off his only losing season (5-7) after having averaged nine wins a season his first three years.Wagner is not sure that Niumatalolo has been "pigeonholed" as a triple-option coach, as Johnson is now at Georgia Tech. Wagner also thinks Niumatalolo might have one of the best jobs in the country."I think, as smart as we all think he is, he's well compensated and he's at a great institution," Wagner said. "You always have to be successful everywhere, never say never, but I think it would have to take something incredible for him to leave. I don't know if that's going to happen."don.markus@baltsun.comHAWAII (0-8) @ NAVY (4-4)When: Saturday 3:30 p.m.Site: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, AnnapolisTV: CBS Sports NetworkRadio: 1090 AM, 1430 AMSeries: Hawaii leads 2-0Last meeting: Hawaii won, 24-17, on Nov. 28, 2009, in HonoluluLine: Navy by 17Navy offense vs. Hawaii defense: The Midshipmen were nearly flawless on offense in last week's 38-34 loss at Notre Dame, rushing for 331 yards and not committing either a penalty or a turnover. Navy will likely do more of the same against the Rainbow Warriors, who give up an average of more than 174 rushing yards against Western Athletic Conference teams that mostly like to throw. The Midshipmen got a combined 162 yards from fullbacks Chris Swain (85) and Quinton Singleton (77) last Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another against the Fighting Irish, could also exploit Hawaii -- which ranks near the bottom in the Football Bowl Subdivision (over 299 yards a game, 117th in the country) in pass defense -- with some play action, as he did in hitting Matt Aiken for a touchdown against Notre Dame. Hawaii gives up nearly 37 points per game.Navy defense vs. Hawaii offense: As well as the offense played against the Irish, the defense was a bit overmatched by Notre Dame's size and speed. Navy surrendered 506 yards overall and 9 yards per play -- the most by the Fighting Irish since 1999. The Rainbow Warriors are not Notre Dame, but senior quarterback Sean Schroeder leads the nation's 22nd-ranked passing offense. Schroeder has thrown for nearly 1,700 yards and 14 touchdowns, though his pass completion rate is a modest 52 percent, and he has been picked off 11 times. The Midshipmen are a bit banged up on defense, and lost nose guard Bernie Sarra with an ankle injury last week at Notre Dame. Travis Bridges, who defensive coordinator Buddy Green had used in tandem with Sarra to give the undersized Midshipmen some bulk against bigger teams, also limped off for awhile but should play against Hawaii. Freshman cornerback Brendon Clements, who had his second interception of the season last week, will be tested again. Hawaii averages just under 22 points per game, so it shouldn't be that hard of a test.-- Don MarkusCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Baltimore Sun Visit The Baltimore Sun at .baltimoresun.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

迷你倉 美國聯邦調查局近日新增一名頭號通緝犯，但此人並非十惡不赦的大壞蛋，而是一名電腦黑客。據NBC報道，FBI本周將三十三歲的培瑞斯-米賴拉（Carlos Enrique Perez-Melara，見圖）列為頭號通緝犯之一。他是中美洲國家薩爾瓦多公民，○三年藉學生簽證加州聖迭戈唸大學，並開始在網絡上兜售據報專抓愛情騙子的「愛情間諜」（Loverspy）軟件。起訴書指他將惡意軟件賣給一千名顧客，而這些顧客隨後又試圖用此軟件入侵另外約二千人的電腦。綜合報道mini storage

【林錫淵╱高雄報導】公營行庫開戶真難！有民眾最近到公營金融機構開戶，迷你倉遭行員以「戶籍不在本地」拒絕，行員還很理直氣壯地向開戶民眾說：「這是財政部的規定。」用意是避免個人帳戶遭詐騙集團利用。民眾抱怨，金融機構好像把所有人都當詐騙集團，「很不便民。」 一名戶籍設在高市左營區的黃姓市民（34歲），工作地點在旗山區，今年7月到彰化商業銀行旗山分行開戶，行員以黃男戶籍不在旗山區拒絕，要他回戶籍地開戶。黃男抱怨：「我在旗山工作，沒空回戶籍地。」行員回說：「這是財政部金管會銀行局的規定。」黃男氣急大罵：「以後有錢也不存彰銀。」 帶雙證件也不能辦 另位馬姓民眾戶籍設在高市鳳山，實際住在大寮區，三個多月前到大寮區高雄銀行開戶，行員一開始也以戶籍地不合，要他回鳳山分行開戶。馬男不悅據理力爭，與行員僵持十多分鐘，才終於成功開戶。 馬男向《蘋果》抱怨：「不能因為詐騙集團橫行，就把所有開戶民眾都當成轉賣帳戶的詐欺幫兇。」此外，還有一名林姓男子帶著剛上大學的女兒（18歲）到郵局臨櫃開戶，父女均帶有身分證等雙證件，卻因未帶戶口名簿遭拒而無法辦文件倉。 台灣銀行高雄分行一名行員指出，近年詐騙集團橫行，為防止詐騙集團成員四處開戶，或誘騙不知情民眾開戶當作人頭帳戶騙錢，金管會銀行局要求各銀行嚴審開戶資格，民眾才會覺得現在開戶比以往嚴格許多。 可提工作證明開戶 高雄銀行及郵局表示，按規定新開戶者須回戶籍所在地開戶，若因工作關係無法返回戶籍地，提出工作證明也可開戶；要是無法舉證，銀行當然不會讓民眾開戶，主要還是怕被詐騙集團利用，不得不嚴格把關。 政府回應 財政部金管會銀行局副局長邱淑貞表示，依「銀行對疑似不法或顯屬異常交易之存款帳戶管理辦法」規定，銀行受理客戶開立存款帳戶，應索取雙重身分證明文件查核、確認身分，「但並未限制僅能在戶籍地開戶。」民眾若因工作、就學、或其他原因有開戶需求，提出合理說明，銀行即可受理開戶。對於上述民眾遭拒絕開戶，邱淑貞認為，可能是基層行員曲解法令規定，或溝通不良，民眾申辦時詳細說明原由，應可順利開戶。 人民辛苦納稅，偏偏政府不是拿錢不做事，就是不該管的事管太多，限制人民的創意，阻礙社會進步。《蘋果》推出「政府管太多」系列，幫大家出氣。存倉

新華社記者趙仁偉史競男垃圾短信治理了多年，迷你倉卻陷入治而不絕、越治越亂的怪圈，究其原因，是垃圾短信背後的利益鏈條難以打破。垃圾短信洶湧泛濫，有人專門搜羅個人手機號碼，並販賣給各類商家；有人專門提供銷售用于發送短信的電話卡；有專業公司替人群發短信，收取代理費；有商家、中介專門製作廣告類垃圾短信。當然，少不了從中坐收漁利的電信運營商。這條利益鏈條上，最核心的顯然是電信運營商。“要想從此過，留下買路錢。”發一條信息，就收一份錢。一些運營商除了收取信息發送費，甚至與商家勾結參與利潤分成，哪管賺的這錢是黑是白，哪管垃圾短信讓公�不堪其擾。這些年來，有關政府職能部門和移動、聯通、電信三大運營商發動過多次垃圾短信治理行動，但往往都成了一陣風。關鍵就是垃圾短信利益鏈難以撼動，最大的阻力，無疑是運營商難以“割自己的肉”。一些運營商擺出一副很冤枉文件倉樣子，說什麼“攔截技術跟不上”“實在沒有好辦法”，這些說辭，估計連他們自己都不信。作為運營商，應該承擔基本的社會責任。首先，不能明知故犯，暗地里和一些商家勾結，大發黑心財。同時，要主動研製新技術、採取新手段，從發送、傳輸等環節全面封堵垃圾短信。關鍵就看想不想真做。當然，僅僅指望運營商自律顯然是不夠的，還必須高懸法律之劍。當前，針對 垃圾短信的法律法規顯然很不完善。除了利用短信進行欺騙、敲詐、推銷違禁品等明顯違法犯罪由公安部門介入外，對大量廣告類垃圾短信的界定、處罰，對運營商的法律責任，對個人信息的保護，都還存在諸多法律空白，公�處於投訴無門、忍氣吞聲的尷尬境地。根除垃圾短信泛濫，要靠運營商嚴格自律，同時，要建立健全相關的法律法規，做到有法可依、執法必嚴，形成相關監管部門齊抓共管、持之以�的治理局面。(新華社北京11月7日電)存倉

Source: Kennebec Journal, Augusta, MaineNov.迷你倉 07--AUGUSTA -- Legislative action is needed to protect workers at Riverview Psychiatric Center and the public, speakers said during a forum Wednesday night on the state's mental health system.Advocates and government officials also spoke of a need for more support services in communities and more hospital beds for people with severe, persistent mental illness.The forum at the University of Maine at Augusta featured top officials, including Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew and Riverview Superintendent Mary Louise McEwen, and it was attended by more than 70 people, including legislators and Augusta city officials. State Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, organized the talk but did not weigh in on what should be done.After the panelists discussed the challenges in the state's mental health system, Riverview nurse Carlton Spotswood approached the mic and urged passage of a law to protect health care workers from violence. Spotswood said his wife is a Riverview employee who was stabbed by a patient with a pen in March, an incident that touched off renewed attention of the hospital's safety procedures.Spotswood said most other states have laws that protect health care workers from violence, some of them by instituting greater penalties for assaults against health care workers."We don't come to work to get assaulted," he said. "We're not punching bags. We're not getting paid for that."Spotswood said he has tried to pursue charges when he's been assaulted at work, with no success, and that violent patients don't take possible penalties seriously.Joe Fitzpatrick, associate commissioner of the Department of Corrections, said the expanded mental health ward that will open at Maine State Prison in February will accept patients who are too violent for Riverview or county jails, but they would not take some of the people who are committed to Riverview, such as people who have been found not competent to stand trial.Kennebec County District Attorney Maeghmini storagen Maloney called for legislative action to address the fact that someone who has been found not competent to stand trial must be released from Riverview if they're not an imminent threat to anyone. Not yet has anyone been released and then committed another crime, she said, but it could happen.Maloney also said there needs to be more support and treatment services available for people before they commit a crime while suffering from mental illness.Most people with severe mental illness are able to function well and safely in a community, if they receive the proper treatment, said Robert Anderson, medical director from Kennebec Behavior Health.But sometimes, Anderson said, hospitalization is necessary, and there aren't enough beds available. He said a few months ago, a patient of his had to camp out in an emergency room for a week while waiting for a bed to open up in a psychiatric unit.Mayhew said her department is working to identify a range of performance measures to evaluate the state's mental health system. She cautioned against looking at the number of beds in isolation."If our crisis system was meeting at the highest level of performance, if those services along the recovery part of the continuum were meeting our measures of performance, then what would that mean as we then evaluate our capacity and whether we have the right number of in-patient psychiatric beds?" she said.There was also much discussion at the forum about protection employee and public safety.Augusta police Chief Robert Gregoire pointed out that people without mental illness commit terrible crimes, and people with mental illness are often victims of theft, sexual assault and other crimes."We seem to forget that," he said. "We tend to view these people as outcasts and perpetrators."___Susan McMillan -- 621-5645 smcmillan@centralmaine.com Twitter: @s_e_mcmillanCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Kennebec Journal (Augusta, Maine) Visit the Kennebec Journal (Augusta, Maine) at .kjonline.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Source: The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, IowaNov.迷你倉 07--The first time it happened, the Hans0ns were in New Zealand.The Cedar Rapids couple had just arrived in Wellington to do some sight-seeing when Bob Hanson stepped into a store to pick up some supplies for the couple's hotel room. He thought his wife, Beverly, was waiting outside, but when he returned, she was nowhere to be found.After nearly two hours of searching, someone dropped her off at the police station. She had wandered nearly two and a half-miles from the shop, to a marina."Bev stuck to me like glue after that, and that was my first indication something was wrong," Hanson said.Later that year, Beverly Hanson was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease."From that point forward, I kept Bev here at home in our condo on the southwest side," said Hanson, adding he was lucky to have the help of a group of retired nurses in his neighborhood so he could continue working in real estate.Soon after Hanson's wife, now 85, began having wandering tendencies, doctors recommended she be placed in a secure facility so she couldn't be a danger to herself. Today Beverly lives at the Hallmar Residential Care facility at the Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, where her husband visits her to have dinner and play cards every night.But not all wandering cases turn out the way Beverly's did. Sometimes, those loved ones don't make it home.WanderingAccording to the Alzheimer's Association, six in 10 people with dementia wander.Abbey Miller, coordinator of programs and communications for the East Central Iowa Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, said wandering is common among people with dementia or other cognitive disorders, and it typically happens out of boredom when someone with dementia becomes confused.It also frequently happens at night because some don't understand what it means when it gets dark and they feel they need to go somewhere."It's a big fear for caregivers and loved ones who have someone with Alzheimer's disease. Not everybody wanders, but those who do -- you just never know what's going to happen," Miller said.She said the tendency can make simple tasks -- such as taking a shower or running to the store -- stressful for caregivers because a loved one could walk off whenever their attention is temporarily turned to something else.According to the Alzheimer's Association, 16,000 Eastern Iowans suffer from Alzheimer's disease or some kind of dementia.Law EnforcementThe Cedar Rapids police department has taken 33 missing adult reports since the beginning of the year. Five of those reports involved adults between 60 and 100 years old and at least one of those people suffered from dementia.When a person considered at-risk goes missing, the department takes a missing persons report, asks the family for a photo and issues an Operation Quickfind, notifying police officers and the media to keep an eye out for the missing person, Cedar Rapids police Sgt. Cristy Hamblin said. The information is also entered into a national database through the National Crime Information Center.Depending on the circumstances and clues that might give an indication to where the person might be headed, Hamblin said the department begins searching.Though the technology and manpower used depends on the situation, Hamblin said she recalls at least one instance when law enforcement searched through the night to find an elderly woman who wandered out of a facility. On another occasion several years ago, the department used it's now-defunct helicopter program with infrared technology to locate an elderly man in a cornfield.She said the department also traces purchases and cell phone GPS systems in extenuating circumstances -- but those with cognitive disabilities don't always carry cell phones and credit cards.But Hamblin said she thinks the system Cedar Rapids has in place for finding missing persons is working. Some Cedar Rapids police officers have gone through training on how to interact with individuals with cognitive disabilities, she added."We're doing the best we can, but if you would ask a loved one if we are doing enough, no, we could never do enough," Hamblin said. "Especially iself storage it turns out badly."No one with Alzheimer's, dementia, autism or another special need has died because the department hasn't been able to find them, Hamblin said. Only four of the department's missing person cases have gone unsolved.The Iowa City Police Department and Johnson County Sheriff's office respond in a similar manner -- taking a report immediately and saturating the area with available officers to help look for the person, depending on whether they left in a car or on foot and how long they've been gone."I think every case is different," said Capt. Joe Lalla, with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. "Each case you just take on a case-by-case basis, and you work on it that way and see where it leads you."Though local agencies said missing person cases involving those with cognitive disabilities are relatively infrequent, a long-term search would have costs associated with it to pay for manpower, fuel and meals if officers were working overtime.SolutionsTo deal with wandering, some law enforcement agencies across the country have partnered with Project Lifesaver, a not-for-profit organization that trains departments, for a fee, on how to effectively communicate with and rescue people with cognitive disorders using tracking equipment.Project Lifesaver allows caregivers to register their loved one with the program in their area by filling out a profile and having that person wear a radio frequency identification band. The RFID bracelet only is activated if the person is reported to have gone missing.Elizabeth Kappes, Project Lifesaver's director of media and communications, said the organization was founded in 1999 when CEO Gene Saunders was working for the Chesapeake Police Department in Virginia, and realized the department was spending a lot of time and resources on locating people with cognitive disabilities and the subjects weren't always making it home.Since then, the program -- which has been adopted by several agencies in Iowa -- has successfully rescued 2,753 people.The Iowa City Police Department, which has responded to 107 missing adult reports since Jan. 1, 2012, is able to take notes on specific addresses through its computer-aided dispatch system.Iowa City police Sgt. Vicki Lalla said the department often comes in contact with people who have wandered before they've been reported missing. In that scenario, she said the responding officer often will enter the person's name into the system with his or her address.Then, if that person wanders off again, a responding officer will know where home is. If a caregiver is worried about wandering, Lalla said he or she can call the department to ask that a note be put in the system.Many facilities -- such as the one where Beverly Hanson lives -- have measures in place to prevent residents from wandering away. Bob Hanson said his wife and others with wandering tendencies at Hallmar wear a security ankle bracelet to help staff keep track of who's coming and who's going.The Iowa Department of Public Safety also set up a structured Endangered Person Advisory (EPA) system in 2010, in which the responding agency can enter an endangered missing person's information into a statewide database for missing people.The system also helps get the word out to local communities and the media so the public knows to keep an eye out for the missing person.Wandering PreventionBecause wandering sometimes can be sparked by boredom,confusion or being in an unfamiliar place, Miller said having a daily routine helps people with wandering tendencies. Miller said there are also various medical alert and safe return programs available to caregivers that use tracking devices to locate a person if they wander.Even though Bob Hanson's wife still wanders throughout the facility from time to time, he said her structured schedule at Hallmar has helped to stabilize some of her symptoms."We still have a good time as a married couple of 43 years," Hanson said. "The lighter you make it, the easier you can deal with it."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) Visit The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) at thegazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷利倉

（吉隆坡7日訊）泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會申訴，mini storage陸路交通局推行的“mySIKAP”電腦系統正式投入運作後，系統不穩定經常故障，加上官員尚未熟悉系統操作，只需10分鐘就可以完成的易名手續現在變成40分鐘；1天就可辦好的更換車牌手續，拖了9天也沒有結果，導致市場車輛買賣及轉讓手續陷入史無前列的“大混亂”。易名手續10分鐘變40該會促請陸路交通局在落實新系統的緩衝期間，應重新啟用“SIKAP”系統，讓新舊系統同時操作，以便在辦理手續過程期間，不會因為新系統癱瘓而不能繼續。他們認為，有關當局在落實新系統的同時，必須確保所有硬體和軟體設備都能順利操作，包括向旗下官員進行培訓，讓其熟悉新系統的操作，而非在新系統尚未成熟的情況下，就取消舊有的系統，結果在問題發生時，根本沒有任何替代方案。陸路交通局推行“mySIKAP”電腦系統數天頻傳出問題，引起民怨。泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會於週四在劉開強的安排下召開記者會，大吐苦水，直言身為迷你倉手車商的他們，是這次交局提昇新電腦系統中，最大的受害者。這項系統主要是為杜絕提防身份被盜用的欺詐交易，泛馬汽車銀業聯合總會主席許綜文指出，總會對於新系統的推行表示歡迎，但從試跑至正在落實以來，新系統的運作完全顛倒了車商的交易程序。“新系統指定，買賣雙方必須親自到陸路交通局辦理生物認證（蓋指紋）才可以進行易名手續，並取消宣誓手續及代理員辦理交易程序，買賣雙方都必須親自到陸路交通局辦理交易，根本未給消費者帶來便利，反而增加更多的麻煩。”他指出，以往這些交易只需由車商代辦，手續簡化，現在卻變得複雜，導致不少購車者無法在原訂的日期順利取車，有者甚至因此取消交易，大大影響車商的業績。許綜文也說，市場上有80%的購車者在買新車時，都會轉售舊車為交易條件。若對方在舊車易名手續上出現問題，無法及時套現，將間接影響其購買新車的手續，最後新車行業的交易也會受到波及，與二手車商一樣，業績都會受新系統的諸多限制而下滑。（TCK;文件倉
