CALL-IN 消費行為、經濟型態、理財安全…悠遊卡會影響我們嗎？
四月一日悠遊卡新紀元？衣食住行一卡行遍天下！？
四月一號開始，除了搭公車和捷運外，也可以使用悠遊卡，在全國一萬多家的特約商店進行消費。但單筆消費金額必須在一千元以下，一張卡一天消費不能超過三千元，最高儲值上限是一萬元。
塑膠貨幣為何便利？
省去找零，結合其他塑膠貨幣功能，吃喝玩樂一卡搞定，塑膠貨幣為生活帶來了哪些改變？個人消費行為會有何改變？
未來悠遊卡將如何發展？趨勢？打敗香港八達通？台灣悠遊卡的潛力？
電子錢包商機無限！
悠遊卡將變身為電子錢包，在四大超商、醫院診所、以及速食、咖啡連鎖店，甚至是看電影、加油都能使用的到，目前悠遊卡發行量約1800萬張，每天超過300萬筆的交易量，如果以一個人消費 30元來看，就能賺進9000萬以上，無限商機。
悠遊卡本身即商機無限？可以結合手機、隨身碟功能，又能取代信用卡金融扣款，身分證的辨識作用，型態更是變化萬千，吊飾、戒指、眼鏡，方便又兼顧美觀？
消費行為的改變與焦慮：
享受方便的同時，會不會伴隨容易遺失、消費隱私外洩的疑慮？消費紀錄全都錄！消費隱私會有大問題嗎？遺失只能自認倒楣？記名卡的可行性？
利用悠遊卡來理財？悠遊卡能幫助建立理財觀念嗎？
不能讓兒童持有信用卡，然而人手一張悠遊卡，方便小額消費，能吸引刺激兒童消費？沒有看到金錢的交易行為，對小孩是好是壞？
再見卡奴？悠遊卡（儲值卡）與信用卡的有何根本不同？對理財觀念有何幫助？
面對新型消費型態的來臨，消費者恐怕更要妥善運用，才能讓消費行為更有智慧。
悠遊卡帶來的經濟型態探討：
從擴張信用到緊縮信用！悠遊卡發展的象徵意義？
悠遊卡讀卡機的設置將帶起新的商業競爭？裝不起悠遊卡讀卡機的商店將全軍覆沒？大者恆大、連鎖店受惠？小資本個體戶再次受害？
悠遊卡該有哪些限制？大筆交易、網路購物、代收代辦？
當機、重複扣款、歸零、冒用、倒閉、偽製…，悠遊卡公司不屬於金融體系，不受金融法令限制的龐大怪獸？悠遊卡有何使用風險？
半官半民，還是又官又民？悠遊卡公司屬性如何？與民爭利？規避監督？利益分配？

俄羅斯首都莫斯科地鐵遭到恐怖攻擊！
俄羅斯首都莫斯科的地鐵車廂，昨天早晨尖峰時刻，兩名女性引爆身上炸彈進行自殺攻擊，死亡人數增為39人。俄羅斯方面推斷，應是車臣等分離份子所為，並強烈譴責恐怖行為。整起案件仍在調查，但也揭示了俄羅斯總理普亭武力掃蕩車臣分離勢力的問題。
恐怖攻擊爲何選在地鐵？
第一次爆炸在盧比揚卡站（Lubyanka），位在俄羅斯聯邦安全局（前身為國安會KGB）總部旁邊，距克里姆林宮僅幾分鐘步程。第二次爆炸在著名地標高爾基公園（Gorky Park），是精心策劃組織龐大的攻擊行動嗎？
西班牙馬德里以及這次的俄羅斯莫斯科恐怖攻擊都不約而同選在地鐵，除了癱瘓交通，造成慘重死傷，更因為深入居民起居，讓人心生恐懼。國際一片撻伐恐怖攻擊，卻也有人道團體關注到俄羅斯過去對待車臣的殘酷鎮壓。
高加索黑寡婦？一段車臣血淚史
這場爆炸究竟由誰策動，俄國警方還在調查，但各方都指向是來自車臣、外號「黑寡婦」的女性自殺炸彈客。誰是高加索黑寡婦？俄羅斯與高加索的歷史恩怨？
車臣是屬於俄羅斯聯邦的一個共和國，位在北高加索山區，生產石油，但主要的開發利益卻都由俄羅斯主導，車臣的政府預算卻有超過九成必須依賴俄羅斯聯邦，這也造成車臣民眾的不滿。打開整個歷史格局，車臣位於俄羅斯聯邦境內，民族以及宗教信仰卻大相逕庭。伊斯蘭遜尼VS 東正教！宗教成無解的車臣問題？
在 1994及1999年車臣人民曾經兩度和俄羅斯展開爭取獨立的戰爭，雖然俄羅斯一直希望透過扶植親俄的車臣領導人來解決紛爭，但從兩邊不斷發生零星的衝突來看，這個目標顯然並沒有達成。
俄羅斯境內民族矛盾尚未冰釋？
俄羅斯也得負部份責任？俄羅斯對車臣的治理違反人道？總理蒲亭對車臣的強悍態度能否解決問題？車臣、亞美尼亞、亞賽拜然、車臣…，為何鄰近國家對俄羅斯都深惡痛絕？
在蘇聯解體後，中亞地區依舊紛紛擾擾。車臣好戰份子？車臣分離份子要的是什麼？洩忿？政治獨立？國際如何觀察此次攻擊行為？
頹圮的俄羅斯帝國？
即使近年俄羅斯經濟前景普遍被看好，境內以及和週遭臨國，各民族間的矛盾卻尚未冰釋。寧願粉身碎骨也要追求政治獨立，民族與宗教的恩怨，隨著政治的操作與激化，巨大包袱恐怕不是一時可以迎刃而解的。
幅員遼闊的俄羅斯以金磚四國之姿再度站上國際舞台，此次恐怖攻擊對俄羅斯政治、經濟將造成什麼影響？俄羅斯的困境與未來？
車臣黑寡婦VS金磚俄羅斯 玉石俱焚！俄國和他的敵人們！

Robert Gupta: Music is medicine, music is sanity
Robert Gupta, violinist with the LA Philharmonic, talks about a violin lesson he once gave to a brilliant, schizophrenic musician -- and what he learned. Called back onstage later, Gupta plays his own transcription of the prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1.
One day Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez was walking along the streets of downtown Los Angeles when he heard beautiful music. And the source was a man, an African-American man, charming, rugged, homeless, playing a violin that only had two strings.
And I'm telling a story that many of you know, because Steve's columns became the basis for a book, which was turned into a movie, with Robert Downey Jr acting as Steve Lopez, and Jamie Fox as Nathanial Anthony Ayers, the Julliard-trained double bassist whose promising career was cut short by a tragic affliction with paranoid schizophrenia. Nathanial dropped out of Julliard, he suffered a complete breakdown, and 30 years later he was living homeless on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. I encourage all of you to read Steve's book, or to watch the movie to understand not only the beautiful bond that formed between these two men, but how music helped shape that bond, and ultimately was instrumental, if you'll pardon the pun, in helping Nathanial get off the streets.
I met Mr. Ayers in 2008, two years ago, at Walt Disney concert hall. He had just heard a performance of Beethoven's first and fourth symphonies, and came backstage and introduced himself. He was speaking in a very jovial and gregarious way about Yo Yo Ma and Hillary Clinton, and how the Dodgers were never going to make the World Series, all because of the treacherous first violin passage work in the last movement in Beethoven's fourth symphony. And we got talking about music. And I got an email from Steve a few days later saying that Nathanial was interested in a violin lesson with me.
Now, I should mention that Nathanial refuses treatment because when he was treated it was with shock therapy and Thorazine and handcuffs, and that scar has stayed with him for his entire life. But, as a result now, he is prone to these schizophrenic episodes. The worst of which can manifest themselves as him exploding, and then disappearing for days, wandering the streets of Skid Row, exposed to its horrors, with the torment of his own mind unleashed upon him.
And Nathanial was in such a state of aggitation when we started our first lesson at Walt Disney Concert Hall he had a kind of manic glint in his eyes, he was lost. And he was talking about invisible demons and smoke, and how someone was poisoning him in his sleep.
And I was afraid, not for myself, but I was afraid that I was going to lose him, that he was going to sink into one of his states, and that I would ruin his relationship with the violin if I started talking about scales and arpeggios and other exciting forms of didactic violin pedagogy. (Laughter) So, I just started playing. And I played the first movement of the Beethoven violin concerto.
And as I played I understood that there was a profound change occurring in Nathanial's eyes. It was as if he was in the grip of some invisible pharmaceutical, a chemical reaction, for which my playing the music was its catalyst. And Nathanial's manic rage was transformed into understanding, a quiet curiosity, and grace. And in a miracle, he lifted his own violin, and he started playing, by ear, certain snippets of violin concertos which he then asked me to complete, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius. And we started talking about music, from Bach to Beethoven, and Brahms, Bruckner, all the B's, from Bartók, all the way up to [unclear].
And I understood that he not only had an encyclopedic knowledge of music, but he related to this music at a personal level. He spoke about it with the kind of passion and understanding that I share with my colleagues in the Los Angeles Philharmonic. And through playing music and talking about music this man had transformed from the paranoid, disturbed man that had just come from walking the streets of downtown Los Angeles, to the charming, erudite, brilliant, Juilliard-trained musician.
Music is medicine. Music changes us. And for Nathanial, music is sanity. Because music allows him to take his thoughts and delusions, and shape them through his imagination and his creativity, into reality. And that is an escape from his tormented state. And I understood that this was the very essence of art. This was the very reason why we made music, that we take something that exists within all of us, at our very fundamental core, our emotions, and through our artistic lens, through our creativity, we're able to shape those emotions into reality. And the reality of that expression reaches all of us, and moves us, inspires and unites us.
And for Nathanial, music brought him back into a fold of friends. The redemptive power of music brought him back into a family of musicians that understood him, that recognized his talents and respected him. And I will always make music with Nathanial, whether we're at Walt Disney Concert Hall, or on Skid Row, because he reminds me why I became a musician. Thank you. (Applause)
Bruno Giussani: Thank you. Thanks. Robert Gupta. (Applause)
Robert Gupta: I want to play something that I shamelessly stole from cellists. So, please forgive me.
(Laughter) (Music) (Applause)

>> The Apple is a self-service online tool that allows you to make your own native iPhone android iPad app just in a few minutes using your existing RSS feed. And we provide you with the, the tab icons and everything else. So without further adieu we'll do a live demo if WiFi is working, yeah. So you log into the Apple.sets inaudible.com. You sign in and you say start a new app. So if you scroll down the screen please. So here we have, there are 4 steps. The first step is where we show you a demo of what needs to be done. So in the first box you put in your auto sets for your website of the blog. Then you say what is the name of this RSS feed. Here we say it's inaudible beat. Then you select the tab icon. That becomes your tab icon. So as you do this you can see what's getting built right on the screen on your right hand side. It gives you a, this is not the real app, but it gives you what it's gonna look like in your iPhone. So here we will add one more feed and see what happens. So we're gonna add the mobile beak RSS feed. And Arti's phonetic just gonna type that in. See what happens on the right hand side of the iPhone? And then she's gonna select the tab icon. Bingo! Here is your mobile RSS feed. And Matt is that the latest articles that you have on the site? inaudible Yep. So this is live guys. This is; we are not doing it from the laptop, this is from the internet, then going to the inaudible site, getting the live, live feed, and then getting all the entire content along with the images for you. And then you can add up to 12 such feeds, or 12 sections within your app. So if you have more than a few feeds you can add, keep adding those. And then you go to the next page. See here you can see it's getting refreshed as Arti clicks on the icon. Go to the next page. This is where you put in the name of your application. That's how it will be known in the app store. Then you select an app icon. So if you click on the browse please. And you go to inaudible folder. And then select the home icon. So this is your typically your logo. And if you like to launch inaudible so when your application launches it shows you your branded logo for a couple of seconds. So we pick that. Put that in. And you're done building the app, believe it or not. The next step, the step number 3 is really all about how you're gonna describe your application within the app store. So you look and read about it. You can say what kind of keywords they're, they can search your app on, what countries you want to list your app in. What are the primary and secondary categories within which your app will be listed? So you do that, and then you go to the next page. This is my favorite step; of course, it's, this is where I get paid. So for Maxell's phonetic special we have a $99 special where you can make your iPhone app for just $99 instead of regular $499. And then you can add options. You can have an android version. You can have an iPad version. When iPad will be launched will make the app compatible with the iPad, so user experience is customized for the iPhone, iPad. And, and we are the first ones to really have a push notification option. So if you have a breaking story as a blogger or a, or a new site, and you post it out to your user, user is not using your app. But you can push a notification to them saying, hey, we have an exclusive story on our blog, come and read it. So you can have that option here too. And then finally, if you like some custom development above and beyond the standard features we offer, we will do that for you. And this, you're pretty much done. And you go to the next page and pay with the PayPal.

19年拿優等列不適任 銀行解僱無效
19年拿優等列不適任 銀行解僱無效
中央社 更新日期:"2010/03/29 17:49"
（中央社記者賴又嘉台北29日電）在台中商業銀行工作逾22年的呂姓男子，前年金融風暴期間遭銀行以無法勝任為由解僱，雙方鬧進法院。最高法院發現，呂有19年拿優等，資方顯然只是想省錢，判決解僱無效定讞。
法官認為，台中商銀若因金融海嘯導致營收虧損，應按勞基法相關規定處理。但以無法勝任工作為由解僱呂姓男子，於法不合，也損及公司與社會形象，判決資方終止勞動契約無效、僱傭關係仍存在，台中商銀並須給付呂姓男子自解僱後至復職前的薪資。
法院判決書指出，呂姓男子民國74年9月至去年1月間任職於台中商業銀行，但台中商銀卻於97年底，先將他列為「需輔導人員」及「不適任人員」，並於98年 1月通知呂姓男子自農曆過年起終止僱傭關係。
呂姓男子在春節假期結束後到公司上班遭拒，他認為公司解僱不合理，向法院提民事訴訟。
台中商銀向法院主張，呂姓男子工作表現不力；但法院發現，呂姓男子考績，僅94年至96年為甲等，其餘均為優等。
此外，台中商銀自97年1月至98年3月間，資遣、解僱119名年資15年以上的員工，卻在同時間大量僱用283名新進人員。法官認為，台中商銀解僱呂姓男子，真正理由只是在節省成本。台中商銀不服，提出上訴，最高法院今天駁回上訴，全案定讞。
