批達賴來台 國台辦對馬「輕輕放下」

中國媒體28日報導，在台灣人民全力救災之時，民進黨執政的南部縣市日前向達賴喇嘛發出邀請，台灣當局於27日證實，馬總統同意讓達賴入台。國務院台辦發言人27日表示，堅決反對達賴赴台，表示「一些民進黨人士的險惡用心必將遭到兩岸同胞的共同反對」。

不過，令人好奇的是，對於「有權批准」達賴入境的總統馬英九，則「隻字未提」反而以「綠營綁架馬總統」來緩頰。

國務院台辦發言人表示，達賴不是單純的宗教人士，他打著宗教的旗號，一直在進行分裂國家的活動。無論達賴以什麼形式和身份赴台，我們都堅決反對。

該發言人指出，正當大陸各界紛紛伸出援手，傾力支持台灣早日戰勝風災，重建家園之時，民進黨的一些人竟趁機策劃達賴到台活動，顯然不是為了救災，而是試圖破壞兩岸關係得來不易的良好局面，這一險惡用心必將遭到兩岸同胞的共同反對。

報 導中說，近期頻頻關注台灣救災和政治動向的國外媒體也在第一時間報導了國台辦的表態，認為達賴受邀訪台可能會傷害台海關係。美國有線電視新聞網CNN27 日在黃金時段報導該消息時稱：台灣當局同意達賴喇嘛造訪台灣的決定會「激怒北京」，他的到訪可能有損於大陸與台灣近期轉好的關係。英國「每日電訊報」援引 台灣兩岸問題專家蔡瑋的話說：民進黨的舉動很明顯是有政治目的的，其目的就是使馬英九處於更為尷尬的局面。

報導也引述台灣聯 合報的呼籲，「政治算計應止步！」文章說，綠營的算盤不止是邀達賴祈福那麼簡單，這應是一場政治算計工程。文章認為，八八水災的災情慘重，藍綠都難脫責 任，現在應是救災與重建擺中間，政治算計放一旁的時候，藍綠都需自制。而當下綠營突然拋出達賴來台的議題，這一招對綠營會否短多長空還有待觀察。

全民「駭」翻天 ?! 總統府網站資安大漏洞

[綜合報導]總統府新聞稿網頁，近來疑遭駭客入侵，只要使用火狐（Firefox）或Google瀏覽器，就會看見網頁上跳出馬總統、劉院長等人扭腰擺臀跳舞的搞笑畫面。最神奇的是，這些網頁如果透過IE瀏覽器，只會看到正常頁面。

網友們更是把政治人物與video合成,像是前總統府秘書長薛香川的父親節 ,剪接成kuso的影片,傳到youtube後引起熱烈的點閱,並且還在持續延燒中。

先 前紅極一時的「super 救命兒」影片，網友為發洩對馬政府救災不力的不滿，製作出的kuso影片，讓內閣一起跳韓國團體super junior的《sorry sorry》向人民道歉。大喇喇放在總統府新聞稿網頁，有網友質疑「之前不是才花7百萬重新建置總統府網頁嗎？錢都花到哪裡去了？」

台北市議員劉耀仁大罵，一個國家的官方網站，竟如此輕易被駭客入侵，表示總統府網管很有問題，總統府應該檢討此事。

有網友分析，這不是真的有駭客入侵總統府網站，而是利用總統府網頁沒有過濾乾淨的「>」或「<」等參數，趁機在網址中直接嵌入影片網址(如youtube提供影片嵌入的網址)，使瀏覽者產生被駭客攻擊的錯覺。不能算是被駭客入侵，只能算被「移花接木」。

總統府對於網站的建置與維護十分粗糙，才能讓駭客輕易抓到php的漏洞，或者說這是另類的「網路騙術」，而且，總統府可能一輩子都不會發現。

聯通與蘋果將在中國推出iPhone

中央社台北28日電）據報導，中國聯通和蘋果計算機公司將聯手合作，在中國推出iPhone手機。

BBC中文網引述大陸媒體報導，聯通和蘋果已經就銷售價格和訂貨數量等問題達成一致，8GB和16GB的iPhone可能在9月出現中國市場。

稍早前有報導說，聯通和蘋果昨天會發布有關聲明。但聯通1名發言人說，聯通與蘋果的協議尚未簽署。

一般認為，聯通和蘋果最後會簽約，同時iPhone手機在中國上市已經指日可待。

據報導，根據中國政府的要求，在中國出售的iPhone手機沒有Wi-Fi功能。

中國政府擔心，由於中國有許多的免費無線上網訊號，給iPhone手機安裝Wi-Fi功能會令國有的通訊公司賠錢。

中國是iPhone手機尚未打入的巨大潛在市場。但是，中國消費者手中已經有了很多的走私和「山寨版」iPhone。

72年來首見 豐田汽車將關閉加州廠

（中央社台北28日綜合外電報導）日本豐田汽車(Toyota Motor)將關閉美國加州佛利蒙特 (Fremont)和通用汽車 (General Motors)合資經營25年的汽車裝配廠，這是日本這家最大汽車製造商72年來首度在國內外關廠。

豐田汽車聲明表示，「新聯合汽車製造公司 (NewUnited Motor Manufacturing Inc.，Nummi)將在2010年3月停止生產Corolla轎車和Tacoma輕卡車。通用汽車已在6月份表示，Nummi廠將停止Pontiac Vibes車款的裝配，並退出這項合資企業的營運，以便破產重整。

由於美國汽車銷售劇減至1976年來最低，豐田北美各廠難以維持最大產能。關閉這家舊金山灣區的工廠讓加州的經濟雪上加霜，加州的失業率已高達11.9%。

「由於汽車需求不會很快回到高點，豐田急需削減產能，」富國資本管理公司 (Fukoku)執行長櫻井(Yuuki Sakurai)表示。「Nummi廠有工會組織，營運成本昂貴，這是個不錯的決定。」

豐田Nummi廠有5400名員工，包括4550個聯合汽車工會職位。根據工廠刊物，這家工廠的供應商超過100家，每年薪資和福利支出達5.23億美元。豐田發言人表示，員工可能的遣散方案尚未確定，將由Nummi來決定。

豐田汽車股價台北時間13:29下跌10日圓或0.25%，報4030日圓，今年累漲39%，優於日經225指數的19%漲幅。

The Great Economic Recovery of 2009 Is a Fraud

The stock market has gotten way ahead of itself. Investors are banking on a booming economy to keep the party going. But the gains are just temporary. And when it ends, it's going to end badly.

Of course, writing that sort of thing nowadays is like spitting on Santa Claus. Everyone knows the jolly old man in the red suit is a fictional character. But nobody will tolerate mistreating him.

And so it is with the economy. Most folks realize the pickup in leading economic indicators and the momentum behind the stock market's gains comes as a result of the government throwing trillions of dollars into the system.

It's not a real demand-driven economic boost. But pointing that out could get you branded as a Grinch.

The economic bulls are convinced the stimulus package is working. And depending on how you look at it, it is. Whenever the government throws a few trillion dollars into the economy in a few short months, it's going to create a temporary pop higher. But "temporary" is the key word.

Home sales today are higher this month than last, but way lower from this time last year. Auto sales have picked up due to the "cash for clunkers" program. But all that has happened is we've pressed next year's auto sales into this year. And the pickup in nearly every other consumer durable product is due mostly to restocking depleted inventory levels.

In order to gauge the strength of economic activity, it's better to look at the action in the Baltic Dry Index. This index tracks the price it costs to ship a variety of commodities overseas, and it's one of the most reliable economic indicators available anywhere.

Here's the chart...


While the index is well off the bottom it hit back in December, during the depth of the recession, it is still more than 60% below where it was one year ago.

Maybe a few trillion dollars doesn't buy what it used to.

More worrisome, though, is the recent downdraft since the peak in June. Better than anything, this illustrates the temporary nature of the economic recovery. The index has retraced nearly all its price gains since March.

If the economy were truly in "recovery" mode, and if consumer demand were truly picking up, the Baltic Dry Index should be moving consistently higher.

It's not. And that fact should be a major warning sign for anyone buying stocks and betting the economy's current blip higher is sustainable.

Best regards and good trading,

Makena reflects a global struggle

But officials hold to hope for future of plan in wake of foreclosure filings

MAKENA - As Maui County Council Member Mike Victorino put it a day after news broke about the impending Makena Resort foreclosure, "it wasn't exactly a military secret, you know?"

Back in November, it was Victorino who resurrected the proposal for what was to be an 1,800-acre development with 1,100 luxury condos, apartments and homes, a new beach club and a rebuilt Maui Prince Hotel, as well as a host of other improvements that $800 million or so can buy.

In an effort to stimulate the island's economy, most of his colleagues on the Maui County Council agreed and rezoned the land for Everett Dowling and Morgan Stanley Real Estate's Makena Resort venture. But on Monday, Dowling Co. defaulted on a $192.5 million loan for the original purchase price of $575 million from Seibu Group in mid-2007, and the lead lender started foreclosure proceedings in 2nd Circuit Court.

"I think it's just reflective of the market conditions, and it's happening at all levels," said Bob Lightbourn, president of the Realtors Association of Maui. "But we will recover. . . . We will get through this."

But no one interviewed Wednesday, even those associated with the grass-roots group Save Makena, is really celebrating what could be the demise of Makena Resort. The lenders' attorneys have said they fully intend to seek out new investors; and Dowling said he is going to find a way to be part of that group.

"It all seemed like a house of cards; and it's the little people who have to suffer who didn't do anything," said Lucienne de Naie, vice chairwoman of the Hawaii Sierra Club, referring to the more than 500 employees who work at the 310-room hotel and two golf courses.

"I see this as an unfortunate occurrence of chasing bubbles in the world economy rather than sustainable solutions right here."

The employees' jobs are secure for now, but leadership from the workers' union and resort managers, Prince Resorts, said they don't know what the future holds.

The project's supporters had high hopes for the expansion. The Makena Resort was supposed to add 20 percent more employees to its current staff.

Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell Sr., who is Dowling's friend, said he was once a paid cultural consultant years ago on the project for its former owners. The most important issues, he said, are the jobs and that the future owner or owners respect the burial and archaeological sites in Makena.

De Naie and others said they see the pending foreclosure as an opportunity for a new investment group to come in and build a community with homes affordable to a wide spectrum of income groups and with some commercial areas to serve residents' needs.

"Hopefully, this process will be relatively painless," said South Maui state Rep. Joe Bertram III. "Just basically what I would like to see is a revised project, with more mixed-use development and different incomes living together."

Dowling had proposed using the latest in green technology for his endeavor but planned to build 400 affordable housing units somewhere else within the Kihei-Makena Community Plan area.

Years ago, county leaders included the South Maui area in plans for future growth. And the County Council's rezoning meetings last winter attracted hundreds of people for and against building in one of the last large undeveloped regions on the island. Council members permanently attached 44 development conditions to the land, such as requirements for improved infrastructure.

Maui County has had the worst foreclosure rate in the state, which ranks about in the middle of the nation for foreclosures. Honolulu and Maui real estate experts said they expect more big hotels and housing developments in Maui County to default on loans and mortgages.

Council Chairman Danny Mateo voted against the Makena Resort rezoning in December. Now, though, Mateo said the economy needs projects like this one.

"The financial markets are dismal at best," Victorino said. "We just caught up with what's happening around the world. But I still feel it's a very good project.

"I talked to Everett and believe he is committed to getting it back online again. And I am confident people like him will do what's right."

He said it would be easy for critics to say, "I told you so." But looking ahead is the real challenge, he said.
