Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.新蒲崗迷你倉M.Aug. 20--A former top media consultant who advised some of New Mexico's top Democratic politicians was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday for his role in bilking more than $2.5 million in federal voter education funds awarded to the state.Texas consultant Armando Gutierrez, whose company was paid millions of dollars to develop a voter education campaign starring then-Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron, also was ordered to pay restitution.The Washington, D.C., inspector general who first raised red flags about the expenses said the criminal prosecution in New Mexico is the only one in the U.S. involving the 2002 Help America Vote Act program, which has disbursed more than $3 billion to the states.Gutierrez and former lobbyist Joseph Kupfer were convicted in February by a federal jury in Albuquerque of operating a conspiracy from August 2004 through July 2011 to over- bill the Secretary of State's Office for the services. Kupfer, who received kickbacks from Gutierrez, has not been sentenced.Vigil-Giron, who now goes by Rebecca D. Vigil, wasn't indicted in the federal case, and related state charges brought against her by state Attorney General Gary King were dismissed last December on speedy-trial issues.But her alleged involvement in the scheme surfaced during Monday's sentencing hearing, in which prosecutors pushed for an increased prison term for Gutierrez partly because the fraud scheme involved a public official.Vigil-Giron authorized a $2million payment to Gutierrez one day after signing the contract and didn't require supporting documents when Gutierrez submitted invoices, prosecutors said.Thecommercials produced by Gutierrez preceded Vigil-Giron's unsuccessful bid for a U.S. congressional seat after she left office in 2006.Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara Neda told federal Judge William P. Johnson that while Vigil-Giron wasn't indicted, "she was involved."Neda said that once the U.S. Election Assistance Commission initiated its investigation, Vigil-Giron produced a "fraudulent amendment to the contract, which also violated New Mexico procurement code," in an attempt to allay federal investigators' concerns about where the money went.Vigil-Giron has said in the past that she did nothing wrong and was the victim of a political attack by Republicans. Her attorney was unavailable for comment Monday.Gutierrez, who lives in Corpus Christi but has a home in New Mexico, also was convicted of amini storagetempting to conceal his criminal behavior by presenting false invoices and other documents to federal investigators once they began asking questions and, later, to a federal grand jury.Neda told the judge Monday that Gutierrez became a millionaire after Vigil-Giron hired his firm and that Gutierrez used the funds to pay cash for a $600,000 home in Corpus Christi, which is now the subject of a civil forfeiture case."It was not a desperate financial need that motivated his criminal behavior. Rather it was sheer greed," the government said in a sentencing motion.Neda said Gutierrez and another co-defendant in the case, Elizabeth Kupfer, did a "test run" involving an earlier contract with the state Attorney General's Office from 2001 to 2004. That contract for a consumer awareness campaign ballooned from $150,000 to $1.1million without specifying any extra work was to be done.Gutierrez wanted to see whether the "fraudulent amendments" that illegally increased the contract would be detected by the state Department of Finance, Neda said, and learned from that experience that he could escape scrutiny on the billings for the secretary of state work.Elizabeth Kupfer already has been sentenced to three years in prison for federal tax evasion in a case related to the fraud investigation.Gutierrez spoke briefly to the judge, asking for leniency because he takes care of an elderly mother and a wife in ill health and has a 17-yearold son with autism."This individual has in fact reached a stage as a minority, as a Hispanic in this country, that not too many people have been able to do," said his attorney, Ahmad Assed, during the sentencing hearing. He said Gutierrez plans to appeal.According to his now-defunct company website, Gutierrez had an impressive list of former clients, including former Gov. Bill Richardson. Other former clients included former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, former U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, former Attorney General Patricia Madrid, and the Clinton/Gore campaigns in 1992 and 1996, according to the website.Assed told the judge that Gutierrez, who has a doctorate degree, isn't likely to return to his career as a political consultant."The chances of Dr. Gutierrez going back into the community and doing what he was doing essentially is zero to none."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

Proposal to reduce board lot size to 100 units will make blue chips more accessible[SINGAPORE] In a move that might improve liquidity and entice retail investors back into the market, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) is proposing to reduce the standard size of securities traded from 1,000 units to 100 units, and one unit eventually.文件倉This means investors currently priced out of established, financially strong companies like the local banks and the Jardine conglomerates will now be able to easily include them in their portfolios. These blue chips, as they are known, can sell for $10 a share or more on the market, meaning that an investor would need to spend at least $10,000, or 1,000 units of $10, per buy transaction.With the change, the minimum needed to buy a $10 stock falls to $1,000, or 100 units of $10.Currently, eight out of the 30 stocks in the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI), a collection of the most stable and liquid stocks, trade at $10 or higher. Another three trade between $5 and $10. SGX's move will potentially broaden the investor base for these companies, but might lead to them incurring higher costs to handle more investors.SGX launched a public consultation on the matter yesterday evening and plans to implement the change to a lot size of 100 units by the first three months of 2014, pending regulatory approval.It will then evaluate the change for a year before embarking on another year-long process to change the lot size to one unit. This means investors might be able to trade in individual units of securities as early as 2016."We think equities need to be part of a person's total portfolio. This move will increase the affordability of blue chips for many retail investors, who can then diversify their portfolios," said SGX head of securities Nels Friets at a briefing yesterday afternoon.He mentioned his desire to raise retail participation. Currently, the proportion of the population who make at least one trade every three months languishes at 8 per cent in Singapore, compared to 17 per cent in Australia and 24 per cent in Hong Kong."Maybe there will be a change in behaviour from trading pennies to a buy and hold of the blue chips," he added.The proposed standard board lot size of 100 units will apply to most securities traded on the market like ordinary shares, real estate investment trusts (Reits), business trusts, company warrants, structured warrants, extended settlement contracts and shares on GlobalQuote.Existing board lot sizes of less than 100 units will remain unchanged - namely SingTel 10, Creative 50, and Lonza 10 shares.What will also not be affected by the change are board lot sizes for most exchange traded funds (ETFs), American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and fixed income存倉instruments like Singapore Government Securities and preference shares. The change only affects two ETFs: the SPDR STI ETF tracking the benchmark index, and the ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund.The proposed board lot size changes have been talked about for many years. In 1995, SingTel, then Singapore Telecom, introduced 10-share trading lots to allow investors with less capital to take part in the company's growth. This was followed by Singapore Airlines, which currently allows trading in 200-share lots.Odd lot trading was introduced in 2003 to help retail investors get rid of anywhere from one to 999 shares that they were stuck with after rights issues or scrip dividend payments. While one can theoretically buy 100 shares of any stock from this market right now, this incurs higher-than-usual trading costs in practice. The market is also illiquid with large bid-ask spreads, and one can only find out the price after asking a dealer or remisier.Many calls have been made by journalists and forum letter writers through the years to do away with the 1,000-share lot size. But it was only a year ago that SGX started seriously considering the proposal, Mr Friets said, noting that many stakeholders like brokers and companies have to be consulted first."Listed companies worry about higher costs and the printing of annual reports, though they are working on e-distribution. Brokers are concerned about partial fills. As for minimum commissions, this is an economic decision by the brokers," he said.Other than improving the investor base and facilitating price discovery, the move also aligns Singapore with other well-known exchanges around the world. The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and the Australian Securities Exchange have a board lot size of one. Board lot sizes at the Hong Kong and Tokyo exchanges are non-standard, to be determined by the issuer.But the change is not spurred by competition, Mr Friets said. SGX arrested a two-year earnings decline in its last financial year due to investor sentiment picking in the first half of 2013.Separately, mainboard and Catalist listing rules will also be amended, including the addition of a provision to track shareholders who hold less than 100 shares.Mr Friets said the change will also benefit institutional investors, allowing them to have more precision in trading, hedging, arbitraging and portfolio management. For example, tracking error in Singapore MSCI (SiMSCI) futures contracts can be reduced from 53 basis points to 4.8 basis points with a board lot of 100 units, he said.The consultation paper is available at .sgx.com/wps/wcm/connect/sgx_en/Misc/regulations/PCMarket participants and members of the public can submit their comments and suggestions until Sept 6, 2013.自存倉

INDIA'S Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not known for his oratory skills and in public appearances he usually has a sombre and serious expression.self storage And yet, at his traditional Independence Day address from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort in New Delhi last Thursday, on the occasion of India's 66th Independence Day, he appeared even more grim and terse than usual. One reason for that was the news of an explosion the previous day in one of India's submarines, docked in Mumbai; the blast reportedly killed 14 sailors. However, even without this tragic accident, with the economy stuttering, Mr Singh did not have much to cheer about or celebrate in his speech to the nation, his ninth at a stretch. A day after his address, the Indian rupee fell to an all-time low of 62.03 to the US dollar while the benchmark share index, Sensex, suffered its worst fall since September 2011. The rupee has fallen 13 per cent this year versus the US dollar and 57 per cent since February 2008 when it reached a peak of 39.40 rupees to a dollar.While some of the current slide is due to reports that the US would soon roll back its stimulus programme, much of the blame still lies with the Indian government. Fed up with stalled reforms and unclear rules, a lot of foreign as well as domestic investment dollars have been moving out of India. Overseas funds have pulled out as much as US$11.58 billion from India's stock and debt markets. This has helped to push India's current account deficit (CAD) to a 迷你倉istoric high of 4.8 per cent in the fiscal year ended March 2013. India's Finance Minister, Palaniappan Chidambaram, has pledged to cut the CAD to 3.7 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) this financial year but his announcement has failed to bolster confidence in the rupee. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut the amount Indian companies can invest abroad from 400 per cent of a company's net worth to 100 per cent. RBI has also curtailed the amount of money Indians can send overseas from US$200,000 to US$75,000.Policy measures such as these can work only for the short term. The deeper malaise affecting the economy is the perception of policy paralysis. This is coupled with the government's decision to implement controversial measures such as the Food Bill, which, with elections scheduled next year, is seen by many as populist. Mr Singh, along with his principal lieutenants, the Finance Minister and the new RBI governor - the noted economist Raghuram Rajan - will not only have to implement a slew of bold reforms, they will have to be seen as capable of bringing back India's growth story. In 2004, the current dispensation came to power on the back of poor economic growth under the then ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) despite its high-profile "India Shinning" campaign. In 2014, 10 years on, there is a real chance of Mr Singh's Congress party-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) losing power to NDA - ironically because of its inability to boost economic growth.文件倉

【本報消息】雖第二季內地經濟數據欠佳，迷你倉新蒲崗加上美國退市陰霾拖累環球股市走勢，但無損訪澳旅客消費力。統計局公佈，第二季旅客總消費（不包括博彩）達139億（澳門元，下同），同比升23%；留宿旅客與不過夜旅客消費各為117億及22億，分別按年升25%及10%。零售業者估計，內地經濟增速放緩，對豪客消費影響較大，一般旅客購買力未見受影響。數據顯示，第二季旅客人均消費1,973元，按年升15%。內地旅客人均消費仍最高，達2,511元，自由行客人均消費更達2,819元；新加坡旅客人均消費有1,719元。長途旅客則以澳洲旅客較高，人均消費1,261元。按消費結構分析，旅客消費主要用於購物(49%)、住宿(24%)及餐飲(19%)。購物項目包括手信食品(21%)、成衣(19%)及珠寶手錶(19%)；內地旅客購物消迷你倉出租為1,403元，自由行客購物消費達1,796元。長途旅客消費主要用於住宿及餐飲。第二季留宿旅客人均消費為3,396元，按年升17%；不過夜旅客人均消費為614元，按年增3%。內地留宿及不過夜旅客人均消費分別為4,436元及752元，自由行客更達4,885元及1,256元。貴價商品受影響有手信業者指出，雖不時傳出內地經濟觸底，但未見旅客消費力大減，第二季手信銷情同比增約兩成，基本上與大市同步。人民幣匯率仍在緩慢上升，旅客在澳消費力變相提高，且買手信多數百元，佔旅遊預算比例不高，不會因輕微放緩就刻意縮減所有旅遊開支，估計貴價商品最受影響。經多年發展，各行業營業額基數增加，過去四、五成增長難復見，現時每年保持一至兩成增長已算不俗。今年暑假生意理想，新馬路迫爆人潮的上周末，也是暑假手信店生意最理想的一天。儲存倉

未來三至五年間，新蒲崗迷你倉本澳博彩業規模逐步擴大，是人們意料中事。當然，面對這個發展形勢，有人會想到屆時人力資源更緊絀，從而提出憂慮，希望及早部署人力資源問題，以免一旦博彩業在路�的第二波投資建設期開始營運，會為人力資源構成另一番的爭奪戰。但是，同時，也有人關注人力資源如何善用、儲備和開發，不一定要不顧惠及本澳居民就業質素，便在「量」上大做文章，都希望從各種渠道只顧引入「外援」，導致本地人未能從博彩業發展中分享到「紅利」，以至原有的工資薪酬福利水平被源源引入的「外援」一一凍結，出現分配跟不上社會、經濟、產業發展的步伐，變成蜑家雞見水唔飲得的一種社會經濟發展未能惠及民生的繁榮興旺假象。這，就必然回歸到一個現實問題，社會、經濟發展的規模要多大，才能最有效發展經濟、改善民生，才能夠達致社會經濟健康發展，可持續發展的良性互動狀態？從而，確保社會整體成本付出以後，這個代價可以換回來最優質、有效的成果，供廣大市民公平公正公義地分享，推動市民向上流動，也促使社會在發展過程中形成內在的動態平衡，減低分配不公、資源爭奪形成的內耗，體現和諧、共融的社會核心價值？要審視這種發展路向，便得謹小慎微，以免由於現實下需要推出傾斜政策扶助不同產業發展、壯大規模，卻反過來「吃掉」「龍身」，不利整體產業形成互惠互補發展的百花齊放、多元共存格局。因此，面對未來博彩業規模不斷擴大，我們會付出甚麼社會成本代價，會付出多少社會成本代價來營造這個「結果」？既然澳門特區是個微型經濟體，便註定她不可能無節制mini storage無限地膨脹，也不可能任由單一產業過度發展膨脹而反過來損害社會原有的多元和諧共融核心價值。因為，這樣會是一個很高風險，會是一個很冒險的追求發展而不惜一切成果代價的「為發展而發展」模式，以澳門這個微型經濟體而言，是難以承受一旦問題、負面因素凸顯後所形成的惡果。能夠在今天審視未來博彩業規模擴大下的正負面問題，澳門政府、社會各界才會有更多時間、條件思考不同的應對方案，以免臨急抱佛腳而藥石亂投。尤其是政府相當重視的所謂路�博彩企業綜合項目帶動非博彩元素發展，究竟，各家到路�「插旗」的博企向政府提供了多少「內容」？儘管這些或多或少涉及商業機密不宜過早向外公布，但是，特區政府主導博彩業發展的高層官員，有必要知悉箇中情況，才能夠在未來的政策、措施，以至調控賭�供應上作出審慎分析，以最大公共利益、最小社會成本、最輕微損害主會整體均衡發展和負面影響的「代價」，作為官員的決策「資料」。如果連這些都不大了了，以至未來路�城各家綜合項目有多少非博彩元素，它們的內涵是甚麼，是否僅僅只複製現有的酒店、餐飲、商場、會展、娛樂設施而了無新意，只在「量」提升而欠缺「質」的突破，以圖藉「量」來爭奪更多賭�數目壯大「賭」的成分？這些，都有賴特區政府決策官員把好關，運用好澳門特區的優勢，來為未來博彩業邁向擴大規模、增加非博彩元素，體現更大的公眾利益造福大市民。因為，經過博彩業第一階段投資建設期所汲取的經驗，澳門特區政府其實更有條件運用好博彩業調控規模這張「皇牌」，為澳門可持續發展打好根基。樂　仁self storage
