巧克力美女…發紅
娛樂新聞組綜合報導January 22, 2010 12:05 AM | 1286 觀看次數 | 2 | |

艾曼紐雪奇(圖)曝光低,新鮮感夠,讓她拿到第一名。 美聯社slideshow 知名男士網站AskMen.com評選的2010年度全球99名「最性感女人」排行榜出爐,加拿大女演員艾曼紐雪奇(Emmanuelle Chriqui)高居榜首。中新網引述路透報導,評選組織者表示,未過度曝光,是雪奇榮登榜首的原因之一。而今年可說是巧克力美女的天下,除了雪奇封后外,潔西卡艾芭及碧昂絲分居五、六名。

雪奇現年32歲,她最知名作品是HBO影集「我家也有大明星」(Entourage)。AskMen.com總編巴席爾表示,雪奇在「我家也有大明星」中飾演的甜心女友是男性的理想對象,該角色在調查中為她加分不少,但她本人較低的媒體曝光率也有很大幫助。據報導,去年排名第12的雪奇,獲知消息後發表聲明說:「聽到評選方式後,我覺得被視為完美女人是最大的讚美。」

「男人最想得到的女人」排行榜已經推出十年,評選的是哪些女性具備最多男性希望其女友或妻子具備的素質。往屆冠軍得主包括凱瑟琳海格(Katherine Heigl)、碧昂絲(Beyonce)、潔西卡艾芭(Jessica Alba)等。報導說,去年的冠軍是伊娃曼德絲(Eva Mendes)今年落到第九名。而常在其他性感榜單上的女星安琪琳娜裘莉(Angelina Jolie)排名88,可能就是因曝光率太高,而話題女王芭莉絲希爾頓(Paris Hilton)及「小甜甜」布蘭妮(Britney Spears)未入榜,也是因「缺乏神秘感」。

榜上第二、三名,分別是維多利亞的秘密代言人瑪莉莎米勒(Marisa Miller),與英國女星凱特貝琴薩(Kate Beckinsale)。報導指出,她們和冠軍艾曼紐雪奇全都年過30,顯示輕熟女比年輕美眉更具性感魅力。28歲的潔西卡艾芭排第五,而去年第二名的梅根福克斯(Megan Fox)掉到第11名,反映讀者喜新厭舊,口味變化快速。

台商轉述 王毅透露ECFA首次協商下週登場
2010-01-22 新聞速報 【中央社】
 中國國台辦主任王毅今天在廣州和台商代表座談,台企聯會長張漢文轉述,王毅透露,兩岸經濟協議(ECFA)將在下週會談。

 王毅、海協會長陳雲林等在廣州花都和「全國台灣同胞投資企業聯誼會」常務理事會的各地代表,約60多人座談。

 與會的台企聯會長張漢文轉述,王毅告訴他們,兩岸談簽ECFA目前面臨情況不是大陸這邊的問題。台灣方面提出不少條件,不過,兩岸簽署ECFA要遵守對等原則,大陸方面可以認同。

 他轉述,王毅說,對於台灣有人擔心若兩岸簽署ECFA,會引進大陸勞工到台灣,造成勞工大量失業;還有大陸農產品也會出口到台灣等問題,這都是不了解中國大陸情況。

 王毅進一步說,大陸目前有缺工問題,非常需要工人,不需要把大量的陸勞輸出至台灣;大陸還歡迎台灣高科技人才到大陸就業。

 他說,大陸內需市場很大,10幾億的人口都需要農產品,不大可能把大量的農產品輸入台灣。

 另外,台灣農產品生產過剩,例如柳橙過剩還能夠運到大陸賣,調節大陸市場。

 張漢文說,會上台商還關心,台灣同胞投資保護法(台保法)實施10多年,但未實際落實,因為大陸很多城市有地方保護的問題。

 他說,台商已反映投資、人身安全等問題,希望在大陸全國人大開會進行台保法修法時,作為重要參考,從制度面、政策面來落實台保法。

 針對大陸核准廣東省汕頭市台資企業協會設立仲裁聯絡處,王毅也說,贊同這種「汕頭模式」也能複製到大陸其他地方。

 張漢文說,因應兩岸三通,台商希望台胞證加簽延長、大陸開放第三產業政策等,都能列入台保法修法參考。

凱薩皇宮發牌員爭小費
記者金康嵐拉斯維加斯報導January 21, 2010 12:00 AM | 236 觀看次數 | 0 | 1 | | 對於大部分在賭場工作的拉斯維加斯華人發牌員來說,小費算是讓生活可以更佳優渥的主要來源,不過,除了拉斯維加斯永利賭場酒店(Las Vegas Wynn)之前曾將其發牌員的小費分給管理階層而引發抗議外,凱薩皇宮賭場酒店(Caesars Palace)在與其發牌員工會協商的過程中,也表示公司有權將小費做「適當的處理」,引發工會的不滿。

目前凱薩皇宮和旗下發牌員的關係越來越緊繃,雖然發牌員已投票選出工會代表,但依舊無法和管理階層簽署勞工合約以保障發牌員利益。去年年底,擁有凱薩皇宮的哈利士娛樂(Harrah's Entertainment)和代表其發牌員的運輸工人工會 (Transport Workers Union Local 721),分別向全美勞工關係委員會(National Labor Relations Board)遞出控訴,宣稱另一方不願意談判。

運輸工人工會表示,哈利士要求凱薩皇宮發牌員應和其他哈利士的員工遵守一樣的政策,就表示公司不會提供發牌員額外的獎金,並移除像是401(k)退休計畫和對於資深員工的休假天數等福利政策。

凱薩皇宮發牌員已拒絕簽署哈利士在去年8月所提出的方案,因為內涵條款給予管理階層太多控制權,包括了公司有權要求發牌員將小費與管理階層分攤;要求發牌員工作80分鐘後再休息20分鐘,現在標準為60分鐘;凱薩皇宮管理階層可隨時開除或懲戒發牌員,當發現發牌員不遵守賭場政策或與賭客發生衝突時,且被開除的發牌員沒有辦法透過申訴仲裁的程序辯護自己的行為。

其中,最令發牌員需要擔心的就是小費分攤制度,哈利士公共政策和傳播副總裁瑪莉貝爾巴捷(Marybel Batjer)表示,現在凱薩皇宮並沒有要拿發牌員的小費,提案上有附註這一條款主要是要提醒員工公司有權利這麼做。永利發牌員已向內華達勞工委員會(Nevada Labor Commissioners)遞出訴訟,判決應會在今年內宣布,此結果將影響到賭業和發牌員間的這場拉鋸戰誰輸誰贏。

內華達大學拉斯維加斯分校(UNLV)的勞工管理經濟學教授傑弗瑞瓦塔朋斯(Jeffrey Waddoups),哈利士強硬的態度有可能會使發牌員屈服,且工會力量相當有限,無法真正去迫使哈利士簽署,而聯邦法又沒有硬性規定公司一定要簽合約,另一方面,在當下經濟不景氣的時候,罷工對賭業來說造成不了太大的影響。

送愛到海地 防募款詐諞
記者金康嵐拉斯維加斯報導January 17, 2010 12:00 AM | 100 觀看次數 | 0 | 2 | | 12日的海地強震,目前至少已造成4萬5000至5萬人罹難,還有300萬人因地震受傷或無家可歸,不少人都想伸出援手救助受難災民,但內華達州檢察長辦公室(Attorney General’s Office)日前特地發出聲明稿,告誡內州居民須留意不肖分子利用慈善募款為藉口、行詐騙之實,並呼籲想要捐款的人應直接尋找有聲譽的組織單位,像是紅十字會等,讓愛心保證送到需要的人手上。

而對於想要捐款的賭城華人,全美慈濟有發動「送愛到海地、全球齊出力」的計畫,捐款專線為1-888-989-8244,網址為www.us.tzuchi.org,或將支票寄至美國總會1100S. Valley Center Ave. San Dimas, CA 91773。

內州檢察長卡薩琳柯特茲馬斯托(Catherine Cortez Masto)在聲明稿中指出,在過去發生的悲劇和自然災害中,不少獨立犯罪者意圖利用民眾的愛心進行詐騙,她並提供一些祕訣讓想要捐款的人可以保護自己:

1.忽視主動寄來的不知名電子郵件,且不要點進內容中的網路連結;

2.對於自稱是生還受害者或是政府官員、並要求使用電子信件或是社交網路捐款的人,抱持高度懷疑態度;

3.如果是由不認識的人寄來的電子郵件,且內附災區照片,不要輕易開啟附檔,電腦可能會感染病毒;

4.不要提供個人或財務資訊給任何自稱在募款的人;

5.直接將想要捐出的款項給知名組織,不要透過第三者。

科特茲馬斯托表示,這些步驟將確保內州居民的善心不被糟蹋。

Remarks With Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic After their Meeting
By Hillary R. Clinton

{{Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Treaty Room
Washington, DC
January 20, 2010}}

------------------

***** SECRETARY CLINTON: It抯 a great pleasure to welcome the prime minister. We consider our partnership with Montenegro to be very strong, and we look forward to it becoming even more important in the future.

Prime Minister Djukanovic and I discussed a range of issues. We particularly focused on the Western Balkans and the role that Montenegro is playing to ensure stability. I congratulated the prime minister on Montenegro achieving MAP status with NATO, and pledged the United States?support for Montenegro becoming an integral part of the Euro-Atlantic community.

I offered the support of the United States as Montenegro makes some of the reforms in the rule of law area that both NATO and the European Union are looking to see. And I thanked the Prime Minister for his country抯 commitment to sending infantry troops to be part of the international force in Afghanistan.

And finally, I was delighted to receive an invitation to visit Montenegro sometime in the future, which I would very much hope to be able to fulfill.

PRIME MINISTER DJUKANOVIC (via interpreter) Ladies and gentlemen, before I begin, I would like to thank Secretary of State Clinton for the overall support that the U.S. has given Montenegro towards its European and Atlantic integration.

I would like to recall that during a difficult period in the Balkans in the 1990s, that we managed to build a strong mutual trust. That cooperation has helped us understand the values of the American society and has helped us restore Montenegrin independence in a situation and in conditions of full stability and to move today steadily towards European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

I wish to thank Secretary Clinton in support ?for the support to Montenegro in pursuing our goal, which is membership action plan at NATO. And at the same time, I would like to say that we stand ready to work hard to fulfill all the obligations in the next stages of our integration. And I would like to announce with confidence that Montenegro will be the next state to become a new member of NATO. Our two challenges for the future are improving, enhancing the rule of law, and we stand committed to doing this in order to improve the quality of life of our citizens and achieve our European and Euro-Atlantic goals at ?as early, as soon as possible.

And I would like to reiterate on this occasion too that Montenegro is and will remain a responsible and reliable partner to the U.S. and EU in dealing with the still outstanding issues in the Balkans. And we will also work closely with our partners in other places beyond our region, starting with Afghanistan.

And finally, I would like to say how grateful I am to Secretary Clinton for accepting our invitation, and I will be looking forward to her visiting Montenegro at a period convenient to her.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you so much. Thank you all very much.

GOVERNOR BELIEVES SPECIAL SESSION FOR THE ECONOMY LIKELY!
Governor repeats need to lower government spending!!
By Office of Nevada Governor(NV), Daniel Burns, Valorie Vega, Jackie Glass, and Jennifer Kung

***** Carson City - Governor Jim Gibbons today repeated a message he has shared since his election, 揘evada government must reduce its spending. Just like everyone at home, the State of Nevada must live within its means,?Gibbons said, 揟he Democrat-controlled Legislature raised taxes and increased spending, while I stood by my promise to the voters by vetoing their higher taxes and spending. But they wouldn抰 listen and now we have to endure the consequences of their actions.?
During the last legislative session, in the face of a nationwide recession, state legislators raised government spending by nearly $1-billion dollars. They also raised the payroll and sales taxes, leading to additional layoffs and placing a greater financial burden on Nevada families. Today the recession continues and Nevada抯 unemployment rate ranks second in the nation.

Governor Gibbons has been reluctant to call legislators into a special session. 揑 believe the Democrat-controlled legislature is partly responsible for many of the economic problems our state is facing, but unfortunately, the only way to correct some of their mistakes is to call them together in a special session,?Governor Gibbons said, 揂ll of our economic indicators are pointing toward the need for a special session of the Nevada Legislature.?
Governor Gibbons also noted, 揑 hope Democrat legislators are prepared to work with me to solve the economic problems facing our state because I firmly believe citizens are sick and tired of legislators and other politicians ignoring their needs. Raising taxes will only put more people out of work. The cost of government services must be reduced to decrease government spending to sustainable levels. Democrat legislators must provide more than lip service to solve our state抯 fiscal problems.?

The Nevada Economic Forum will meet tomorrow (Friday) to determine a revised economic forecast of Nevada抯 revenue sources. The Economic Forum抯 conclusions will play a critical role in determining the need for a special legislative session and what the content of that session will include.

East Asia and the Pacific: Principles of U.S. Engagement in the Asia-PacificThursday, January 21, 2010 7:36 AM

Principles of U.S. Engagement in the Asia-Pacific

Kurt M. Campbell
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs
Before the Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Washington, DC

January 21, 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Chairman, Senator Inhofe, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you very much for inviting me here today to testify about the vital importance of Asian- Pacific countries to the United States and the key aspects of our engagement strategy with the region.

There should be no doubt that the United States itself is a Pacific nation, and in every regard -- geopolitically, militarily, diplomatically, and economically -- Asia and the Pacific are indispensable to addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities of the 21st century. Senator Webb, as you have eloquently noted, 揟he United States is a Pacific nation in terms of our history, our culture, our economy, and our national security.?As the Asia-Pacific century emerges, defining the new international environment, the United States must enhance and deepen its strategic engagement and leadership role in the region.
Our economic relationships demonstrate the mutual importance of the interactions between the countries of the Asia-Pacific and the United States. The region is home to almost one-third of the Earth抯 population. The Asia-Pacific accounts for almost one-third of global GDP and is a key driver for technological innovation. American and Asian economies are growing increasingly interdependent while assisting the global economic recovery.

Despite significant economic growth and vitality, the Asia-Pacific region is home to many of the most pressing security challenges of the modern era. What is most often absent in our discussion about the 揂sian miracle?are the challenges posed by uneven growth, poverty, and weak and ineffective governments. Hundreds of millions have yet to benefit from the fruits of the Asian miracle, and income inequality continues to strain the capacity of governments to respond. Perhaps the most significant unintended consequence of the Asian miracle has been the acceleration of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Asia抯 densely populated littoral nations will likely suffer as climatic variations target the region. Compounding these challenges is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, extremist groups in Southeast Asia, unresolved territorial disputes, and growing competition over energy and natural resources.

The severity and transnational nature of these challenges demand collective action and American leadership. They also suggest a need for America to enhance, deepen, and sustain our engagement to seize opportunities and minimize risk.

Renewed Engagement Generates Results - Let me now take this opportunity to briefly list the steps we have undertaken over the past year to step up and broaden U.S. engagement in the region. First, we have newly reengaged in the region through visits of our senior leadership and attendance at high-level meetings. Our attendance has produced concrete results that further U.S. strategic interests. In November, President Obama spent 10 days visiting Japan, Singapore, China, and South Korea, strengthening U.S. leadership and economic competitiveness in the region, renewing old alliances, and forging new partnerships. Under the leadership and guidance of President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and Secretary Geithner, we hosted the first U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in July 2009, and we will have follow-on discussions in 2010. The dialogue set a positive tone for the U.S.-China relationship, while underscoring challenges and opportunities to enhance that relationship. We continue to build the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, which would provide a framework to broaden and deepen the bilateral relationship. Secretary Clinton has visited the region four times. Her first overseas trip as Secretary last February and her subsequent trips in July, November, and earlier this month bolstered bilateral relationships and enhanced U.S. ties to multilateral organizations.

The renewal of high-level engagement is producing tangible results. President Obama抯 November trip included participation in the 17th Annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders?meeting in Singapore, important for U.S. trade since APEC members account for 53 percent of global GDP, purchase 58 percent of U.S. goods exports, and represent a market of 2.7 billion consumers. APEC leaders endorsed the Pittsburgh G-20 principles and agreed to implement the policies of the G-20 Framework for Strong, Sustainable, and Balanced Growth, further expanding the global commitment to achieve more balanced growth that is less prone to destabilizing booms and busts. They also put forward a strong statement of support for concluding the Doha Round in 2010 and agreed to reject all forms of protectionism. In addition, Leaders agreed on core principles to promote cross-border services trade that will provide a strong basis for our efforts to facilitate and promote trade in services in the Asia-Pacific region. Leaders also pledged to make growth more inclusive through APEC initiatives that will support development of small and medium enterprises, facilitate worker retraining, and enhance economic opportunity for women. Finally, Leaders took steps to ensure environmentally sustainable growth in the region by agreeing on an ambitious plan to address barriers to trade and investment in environmental goods and services.

President Obama also attended the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders Meeting, the first ever with all 10 ASEAN members represented, providing a clear demonstration of renewed U.S. engagement with Southeast Asia. Secretary Clinton抯 July trip included meetings with regional foreign ministers at the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Thailand and the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC) with ASEAN nations. Her November visits to the Philippines, Singapore, and China included attendance at APEC Ministerial Meetings and meetings with allies and regional partners that further solidified relationships and deepened U.S. multi-lateral engagement.

Let me turn to another area of renewed engagement: Burma. Mr. Chairman, your leadership on this issue has been instrumental in changing our policy and initiating steps to engage the Burmese junta. As you are well aware, the Administration抯 formal review of U.S. policy towards Burma reaffirmed our fundamental goals: a democratic Burma at peace with its neighbors and that respects the rights of its people. A policy of pragmatic engagement with the Burmese authorities holds the best hope for advancing our goals. Under this approach, U.S. sanctions will remain in place until Burmese authorities demonstrate that they are prepared to make meaningful progress on U.S. core concerns. The leaders of Burma抯 democratic opposition have confirmed to us their support for this approach. The policy review also confirmed that we need additional tools to augment those that we have been using in pursuit of our objectives. A central element of this approach is a direct, senior-level dialogue with representatives of the Burmese leadership. Since I testified before you on the subject late last September, I visited Burma November 3 and 4 for meetings with Burmese officials, including Prime Minister Thein Sein, leaders of the democracy movement, including Aung San Suu Kyi, and representatives of the largest ethnic minorities. In my meetings, I stressed the importance of all stakeholders engaging in a dialogue on reform and

emphasized that the release of political prisoners is essential if the elections planned for 2010 are to have any credibility.

Finally, I want to underscore the Obama Administration抯 commitment to stepping up our engagement with Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Island nations. Secretary of State Clinton was en route to Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia last week, but the pressing need to help organize U.S. assistance to Haiti led her to postpone that visit. Her trip builds on her meeting with Pacific Island leaders in September 2009 in New York, with all parties committing to work together to address climate change and other transnational issues. The U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Susan Rice, has met regularly with her Pacific Island counterparts to share views and build cooperation on key issues before the United Nations. Within weeks of assuming my current responsibilities, I traveled to Cairns, Australia, to represent the United States at the Pacific Island Forum抯 Post Forum Dialogue of key partner countries and institutions. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd chaired the proceedings, which focused on improving the coordination and effectiveness of development assistance efforts in the region.

U.S. Principles for Engagement in the Asia-Pacific Region ?The Asia-Pacific region is of vital and permanent importance to the United States and it is clear that countries in the region want the United States to maintain a strong and active presence. We need to ensure that the United States is a resident power and not just a visitor, because what happens in the region has a direct effect on our security and economic well-being. Over the course of the next few decades climate change, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and widespread poverty will pose the most significant challenges to the United States and the rest of the region. These challenges are and will continue to be most acute in East Asia. This situation not only suggests a need for the United States to play a leading role in addressing these challenges, but it also indicates a need to strengthen and broaden alliances, build new partnerships, and enhance capacity of multilateral organizations in the region. Fundamental to this approach will be continued encouragement of China抯 peaceful rise and integration into the international system. A forward-looking strategy that builds on these relationships and U.S. strengths as a democracy and a Pacific power is essential to manage both regional and increasingly global challenges.

With the positive outcomes of renewed engagement as a backdrop, I would like to discuss a series of principles that will guide our efforts moving forward. Intrinsic to our engagement strategy is an unwavering commitment to American values that have undergirded our foreign policy since the inception of our Republic. In many ways, it is precisely because of the emergence of a more complex and multi-polar world that values can and should serve as a tool of American statecraft. Five principles guide the Obama administration抯 engagement in East Asia and the Pacific. In her January 12 speech in Honolulu, Secretary Clinton detailed the five principles for how we view the Asia-Pacific architecture and U.S. involvement evolving. These include the foundation of the U.S. alliance system and bilateral partnerships, building a common regional economic and security agenda, the importance of result-oriented cooperation, the need to enhance the flexibility and creativity of our multilateral cooperation, and the principle that the Asia-Pacific抯 defining institutions will include all the key stakeholders such as the United States.

For the last half century, the United States and its allies in the region ?Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand ?have maintained security and stability in East Asia and the Pacific. Our alliances remain the bedrock of our engagement in the region, and the Obama Administration is committed to strengthening those alliances to address both continuing and emerging challenges. The United States, therefore, must maintain a forward-deployed military presence in the region that both reassures friends and reminds others that the United States will remain the ultimate guarantor of regional peace and stability. There should be no mistake: the United States is firm in its resolve to uphold its treaty commitments regarding the defense of its allies.

Our alliance with Japan is a cornerstone of our strategic engagement in Asia. The May 2006 agreement on defense transformation and realignment will enhance deterrence while creating a more sustainable military presence in the region. The Guam International Agreement, signed by Secretary Clinton during her February 2009 trip, carries this transformation to the next stage. As part of our ongoing efforts to assist the Government of Japan with its review of the Futenma Replacement Facility (FRF) Agreement, a high-level working group met in Tokyo in November and December, and the Government of Japan is continuing its review. In addition to our focus on these issues, we are working to create a more durable and forward-looking vision for the alliance that seizes upon Japan抯 global leadership role on climate change and humanitarian and development assistance programs, to name a few. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the alliance, we will work closely with our friends in Japan to think creatively and strategically about the alliance.

We are also working vigorously with our other critical ally in Northeast Asia, the Republic of Korea, to modernize our defense alliance and to achieve a partnership that is truly global and comprehensive in nature. Building off the Joint Vision Statement between Presidents Obama and Lee Myung-bak, we are committed to creating a more dynamic relationship that builds on our shared values and strategic interests. We look forward to the Republic of Korea抯 growing international leadership role as it hosts the 2010 G-20 Leaders Meeting.

Japan and the Republic of Korea have been key partners in our joint efforts to maintain peace and stability in Northeast Asia and, in particular, to denuclearize North Korea through the Six-Party process. The process suffered serious setbacks in 2009 with North Korea carrying out a series of provocations including its April 5 missile test and its May 25 announcement of a second nuclear test. As President Obama said, North Korea抯 actions blatantly defied U.N. Security Council resolutions and constitute a direct and reckless challenge to the international community, increasing tension and undermining stability in Northeast Asia. However, the international community抯 unified response to North Korea抯 provocations is another example of the fruits of U.S. engagement. The U.N. Security Council, led by our Five-Party partners, unanimously condemned the DPRK抯 provocative actions and passed UNSCR 1874, introducing tough sanctions against North Korea抯 weapons and proliferation finance networks. When North Korea began to show renewed interest in dialogue later in the year, the United States sent U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Ambassador Stephen Bosworth to Pyongyang on December 8 for discussions with North Korean officials about the nuclear issue. In these discussions, the DPRK reaffirmed the importance of the Six-Party Talks and the September 2005 Joint Statement on the verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner. We did not, however, reach agreement on when and how North Korea will return to Six-Party Talks, a matter that we will continue to discuss with Asian partners early in 2010.

Our deep and sustained engagement with China continues to yield progress on important international issues, such as the global economic recovery, climate change policy, and efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. However, we obviously do not see eye-to-eye with China on every issue, as evidenced by our discussions on human rights and concerns over China抯 opaque military modernization and exclusionary industrial policies. We will continue to address these issues through continuous and frank dialogue, seeking out Chinese cooperation on areas of mutual concern while directly addressing differences. A recent example of this approach is our engagement regarding Google抯 troubling allegations regarding intrusions and the routine accessing of human rights activists?e-mail accounts by third parties. U.S. officials have emphasized the importance of China's addressing the concerns raised by Google as well as the importance of Internet freedom as a central human rights issue.

We need to recognize Asia抯 importance to the global economy. Close U.S.-Asian economic cooperation is vital to the well-being of the U.S. and international economic order. However, as President Obama noted in his recent trip to Asia, 揥e simply cannot return to the same cycles of boom and bust that led us into a global recession.?The United States and Asia need to emphasize balanced growth and trade.

It is worth highlighting that four Asian economies (China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan) are now among our top-twelve trading partners. Today, the 21 APEC economies purchase almost 60 percent of U.S. goods. Taken as a group, ASEAN is also a large and critical trading partner. The strong Asian participation in APEC, the WTO, and the G-20 reflects the increasing importance of Asian economies and their centrality to strengthening the multilateral trading system and maintaining our economic recovery.

Continued integration of the economies of this region will create new business opportunities, benefitting workers, consumers, and businesses and creating jobs back here in the United States. Despite strong export growth to the Asia-Pacific, the United States?share of the total trade in the region has declined by 3 percent in the past five years. To reverse this trend, we will continue to work with the Congress, stakeholders, and the Republic of Korea to work through the outstanding issues of concern so we can move forward on our bilateral free trade agreement. We will also enter into negotiations of a Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, as President Obama announced to APEC leaders in November. As the Administration stated when it announced its intention to launch these negotiations, we intend to work in partnership with the U.S. Congress and stakeholders to shape a high-standard, broad-based regional agreement that will serve as a potential platform for economic integration across the region. This is an exciting opportunity for the United States to engage with some of the fastest growing economies in the world as well as to update our approaches to traditional trade issues, address new issues, and incorporate new elements that respond to 21st-century challenges.

The U.S. commitment to democracy and the protection of human rights is an intrinsic and indispensable aspect of our character as a nation and our engagement in the Asia-Pacific region. Let me be clear, the promotion of democracy and human rights is an essential element of American foreign policy. It is part of who we are as a people. We believe human rights are not only core American values, but universal values. These values are a force multiplier in a region where democratic norms are on the ascent. We believe that citizens around the world should enjoy these rights, irrespective of their nationality, ethnicity, religion, or race. The United States will continue to speak for those on the margins of society, encouraging countries in the region to respect the internationally recognized human rights of their people while undertaking policies to further liberalize and open their states. As President Obama said in his speech on the way forward in Afghanistan and Pakistan, 揥e must promote our values by living them at home -- which is why I have prohibited torture and will close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.?President Obama has eloquently stated that our willingness to speak out on human rights and other democratic values is the source of our moral authority and courage.

In order to ensure that human rights and the development of the rule of law and civil society remain strong pillars of our engagement, we will continue to adopt new and creative approaches that seize the opportunities of a dynamic information age. The freedom to speak your mind and choose your leaders, the ability to access information and worship how you please are the basis of stability. We need to let our partners in the region know that we will always stand on the side of those who pursue those rights.

Democratic governanceis rapidly evolving within Asia; advancing human rights, freedom, and democracy is critical to alleviating poverty and conditions that catalyze extremism. Sustained economic growth requires governments that are transparent, non-corrupt, and responsive to the needs of their people. Our strategy is to maintain pressure on local decision-makers to improve governments?human rights records while cooperating closely with international and non-governmental organizations involved in monitoring and reporting on human rights.

As the Asia-Pacific region evolves, so should our own approach to multilateral economic and security cooperation. The President stated in Tokyo that we aim to participate fully in regional organizations, as appropriate, including engaging with the East Asian Summit. Secretary Clinton spoke in Honolulu of the need to enhance the flexibility and creativity of our multilateral cooperation. We plan to consult with allies and partners in the region and with Congress on how the United States, working with our Asian counterparts, can join and shape the region抯 evolving multilateral bodies. Strong, multilateral links to Asia can help ensure that the United States remains a critical part of this dynamic region.

Multilateral engagement can be an effective way to address our efforts to deal with transnational security challenges such as climate change, pandemics, or environmental degradation. For example, steps taken by APEC and ASEAN to improve cooperation among regional emergency management agencies is an important step in light of the spate of recent natural disasters that have battered the region. Multilateral efforts are also proving effective in addressing new transnational threats such as terrorism, piracy that threatens our sea lanes, and traffickers who exploit women, children, laborers, and migrants.

In 2011, the United States will host APEC for the first time in 18 years, providing us with unique opportunities to demonstrate our commitment to and engagement in the region, shape the organization抯 agenda in ways that reflect our values, and will help U.S. businesses and workers to compete on a more level economic playing field in this dynamic region. Through APEC, we will continue to advance regional economic integration, reduce barriers to trade and investment in the region, and help rebalance the Asia-Pacific economies. Working with ASEAN, the U.S. will seek to streamline and strengthen the ASEAN Regional Forum抯 (ARF) institutional processes and create a more action-oriented agenda, especially with respect to transnational and non-traditional security challenges.

Conclusion

The United States faces a number of critical challenges in the coming years in its engagement with Asia. These include rising and failing states, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, critical global issues like climate change, violent extremism in some parts of Southeast Asia, poverty and income disparity. The essential ingredient in meeting these challenges is United States leadership. We need to play an active role in helping the countries of the region to enhance their capacity to succeed. The region is vital to U.S. interests not only in the Asia-Pacific context, but also globally. We are a vital contributor to the region抯 security and economic success. The Asia-Pacific region, in turn, has a profound impact on our lives through trade, our alliances, and partnerships. As the region continues to grow and as new groupings and structures take shape, the United States will be a player, not a distant spectator. Under President Obama and Secretary Clinton抯 leadership, we are ready to face these challenges. We look forward to working with Congress and this Committee to seek opportunities to influence positively the future direction of the region.

Thank you for extending this opportunity to me to testify today on this pressing and vitally important issue. I am happy to respond to any questions you may have.

From: "Mitch Stewart, BarackObama.com" Add sender to ContactsTo: "mike lei"
mike --

Yesterday's disappointing election results show deep discontent with the pace of change. I know the OFA community and the President share that frustration.

We also saw what we knew to be true all along: Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn. While it doesn't take away the sting of this loss, there is no road to real change without setbacks along the way.

We could have simply sought to do things that were easy, that wouldn't stir up controversy. But changes that aren't controversial rarely solve the problem.

Our country continues to face the same fundamental challenges it faced yesterday. Our health care system still needs reform. Wall Street still needs to be held accountable. We still need to create good jobs. And we still need to continue building a clean energy economy.

The President isn't walking away from these challenges. In fact, his determination and resolve are only stronger. We must match that commitment with our own.

But it won't be easy. Real change never is. For that reason, I am grateful you're part of this fight with us.

Thank you,

Mitch

賭城新星 CityCenter 與天方夜譚
by 張棠 張棠隨筆January 19, 2010 11:38 PM | 180 觀看次數 | 0 | 4 | | | 文章連結
slideshow 近年來,阿拉伯的杜拜(Dubai),動作頻頻、新聞連連,使我對杜拜的奢華與創新十分好奇,只是去一趟杜拜不但路途遙遠,而且旅費昂貴,因此我雖曾有探祕之心,却從無探祕之實。

誰知去年( 2009)年底,我忽從報上看到 Dubai World 和 Las Vegas 的 MGM Mirage 合夥,斥資8.5 billion,在 Las Vegas 建造了一座名為 CityCenter 的城中之城,於十二月十六日開幕。「探祕杜拜」的機會自已送上門來,當然不能錯過,我就和老公趁各大旅社提供免費住宿的耶誕期間,再赴賭城一遊。

我從十歲,第一次看《天方夜譚》起,就知道阿拉伯人擁有「阿里巴巴與四十大盗」的山洞密碼,一盞直達「天聽」的阿拉丁神燈,以及在空中飛來飛去的魔氈,還有…後來主宰世界經濟命脈的石油。只是萬萬想不到,這些阿拉伯魔法,日後竟會與我有關,而且還成為我生活中重要的一部份。

如果你不信,我就舉幾個例子給你聽聽:我現在經常到世界各地旅行,來來回回乘坐的就是現在叫飛機的「魔氈」;我每天回家,把「車庫遥控器」 (garage opener) 一按…芝麻開門…我的車庫就豁然洞開;我走進任何商店,只要將「神燈」(現在叫信用卡)一揚,刷…卡…,立刻穿的、戴的、吃的、喝的都成了我的囊中之物;至於汽油,那就更不用說了,我每隔幾天就要去汽油站報到…就在幾天前,我聽到了一個叫「雲端科技」的新名詞,我馬上就想到,那「雲端」很可能就是神燈直達「天聽」的「天聽」…..所以我想,現代杜拜之所以能無中生有,把一個小漁村變成世界最豪華的地標,確實有他的歷史淵源的。

現在,杜拜到 Las Vegas 來了。這座名叫 CityCenter 的城堡,位於 Las Vegas 繁華熱鬧的 Las Vegas Boulevard (The Strip) 上,在 Bellagio 與 Monte Carlo 兩大賭場之間,佔地 67 acres(英畝)。

這 67 英畝,說小不小,說大也不大。CityCenter 要在這「區區」67 英畝中,蓋一座超級大賭場(150,000 平方英尺),四座大旅社(總數 6291 間),四個 spa,四十二個餐廳、咖啡屋與酒吧,與八百九十七户 Condo等等,絕非小事一樁,除了投下巨資之外,CityCenter 的設計與建構,全由世界最頂級的建築大師費盡心思所建,是創下世界或賭城許多「第一」的超時代作品。

所謂的城中城,包括六大建築,其中有賭場與旅社(Aria),購物中心(Crystals),兩大旅社(Vdara及 Harmon),私人住宅與旅社(Mandarin Oriental),以及私家住宅(Veer Towers)。

這六大建築大小不等,高低不一,人在其中會有如迷宮,我們聽了行家的建議,從 Bellargio 搭 Tram 進城。Tram 是連結 Bellagio 與 Monte Carlo 賭場的電動車,一次可載客132人(每小時3266人),在Crystals 下車後,一走出去就是CityCenter 的 Crystals,也就是世界最昂貴精品店之所在了。

Crystals 本身是一個像現代博物館一樣的超級大廳,從頂樓往下俯視,高濶空曠的大廳中擺設了世界著名藝術大師的抽象雕塑。其中最引人注目的是三層樓高、七十英尺、像「頭髮吹風機」式的超大型雕塑,此雕塑是以 Sapele(沙貝列木)為經、mahogany(桃花心木)為緯、所編製成的銀杏葉與蘆葦,雕塑中間像竹簍的部分則是一家餐館。

一旦我們離開了Crystals 大樓,六大建築馬上迎面而來,一片銀色的玻璃,在陽光下閃閃發光,此時我們有如在太空遨遊,突然間來到一個不知名的星球,看到了好多新奇閃亮的建築…然後,也一如電影情節…經過了一番摸索,我們終於來到了星際旅遊的終點站 – Aria,一個61層樓、4004 間房間、568 個套房的大賭場。

Aria 賭場與一般的賭場相差無幾,可貴的是 Aria 有節能省碳的裝置,與通風排氣的設計。Aria 利用裝在吃角子老虎機下的空調機,一面調節室內温度,一面將污穢的空氣向上吹出,以保持賭場空氣的清潔。

賭場之中,有各種餐廳、糖辍⒖Х任荨⒕瓢傻鹊龋晒┛腿私K日吃喝玩樂。我們到自助餐廳午餐時,午餐的人潮已過,食客不多(可能是聖誕夜的關係),自助餐的水準不錯,點心很精美,價格也很公道。我在自助餐廳中發現了印度「饢餅」(naan) 與烤「饢」的爐子,這爐子與以前臺灣烤燒餅的泥爐很像,只是爐子不用泥土,而用不鏽鋼等的現代材料製作,烤出來的「饢」與我在新疆吃到的「饢」無論形狀與口感都十分相似。

CityCenter 網羅了世界第一流建築師、設計師、藝術家與美食家的作品,也吸引了世界最昂貴的精品商店(有的還沒有開張)。我們因不知城中城的威力,在城中沒目地、沒方向的隨興而行,結果一天還不到,才只草草地遊覽了 Crystals 與 Aria 兩幢大樓,就發現 CityCenter 之中可看、可買、可玩、可吃的東西太多,而我們的體力實在有限,因此我們到 CityCenter 的第一次探索,就只好到此為止、暫且打住了。

雖然 CityCenter 不是杜拜,而且我們在 CityCenter 也只是蜻蜓點水,匆匆一瞥,並沒有作深度之遊,但總算一償宿願,淺嚐了豪華、時尚與前衛的杜拜作風,也見識了一個「花錢不手軟」的花花世界,然而對從小愛看《天方夜譚》的我來說,我現在最想作的,就是要上網再去多看幾遍《天方夜譚》,我相信,那本書上一定還有很多我所不知道的魔法與高科技。

現在就請隨我來,跟我一起逛 CityCenter 吧!(請先按我的相本再按 Slideshow 就可自動撥放了)Enjoy!

馬總統:力爭上游全力以赴 今年會更好!
This is the YEAR!!

2010-01-20 新聞速報 【中央社】
 ******* 總統馬英九今天接受媒體專訪時表示,他現在的心境是「力爭上游、全力以赴」。今年是台灣經濟復甦年,除提高就業率外,也將和大陸簽ECFA及跟其他國家簽FTA,相信今年會更好。

 馬總統接受中視專訪時,做上述表示。此外,對美國軍售台灣的進度,馬總統說,「現在還不知道最近要宣布的是哪一個」,「黑鷹直升機是這次希望能夠談到的,相對來講爭議不那麼大」,「F-16C/D型戰機就不知道能不能在近期決定。」

 談到經濟合作架構協議(ECFA),馬總統表示,台灣的經濟關係與大陸更密切,有助台灣更增強實力。ECFA對台灣突破經濟孤立非常重要,「外交孤立還好處理,經濟孤立是要命的事情」。

 此外,他也再度強調,美牛政策的溝通確實不夠,未來與對岸簽署ECFA時,不能再出現一樣的問題。

 馬總統月底出訪將過境美國,他指出,與美國各界的溝通不會只限於美牛議題,「現在不確定會見到誰,要看哪個參眾議員在那個時段方便通電話」。

 他說,美牛議題的影響主要在貿易皇瞧惹械經]有台美貿易暨投資架構協定(TIFA),就沒有貿易的地步。

 對國民黨秘書長金溥聰最近被批評「以黨干政」,馬總統說,金溥聰是透過黨政溝通平台反映民怨,「如果不直接講,難道跟秘書說?」「如果什麼都要打給我,還有什麼效率可言?」、「我覺得沒有不妥。」

 對於民調支持度,馬總統表示會將施政的構想與結果說清楚,在政策形成的過程中貼近民意;他與社會各界的接觸會增加,讓決策更周延,努力改善人民對他的觀感。他說,執行政策的過程中不足部分會痛下決心改進,相信今年會更好。

 馬總統形容,他現在的心境是「力爭上游、全力以赴」。今年是台灣經濟復甦年,一定要提高就業率、降低失業率,照顧弱勢,結合永續發展政策,發展綠色經濟。此外,還要加強與區域經濟的連結,包括與大陸簽ECFA及跟其他國家簽自由貿易協定(FT...

賭城將再增一個比雲霄飛車更刺激遊戲,讓人由100層高塔跳下來。 (網路圖片)
slideshow 拉斯維加斯驚心動魄的遊戲再增一種,從4月起同溫層高塔(Stratosphere)頂再增加一項從上面往塔外跳下來的最新刺激,名叫「從天而降」(Sky Jump),把玩家綁好吊帶,由855呎塔上跳下,引大膽者去挑戰。

在賭城以最驚險刺激遊樂為號召,高塔賭場頂樓上已有三項大多數人不敢乘坐的雲宵飛車Big Shot、X'Scream、Insanity。

高塔娛樂總裁瑞爾洛說,這是北美洲唯一自高塔跳下來的遊戲,有安全防護設備,跳下來時會自動導引控制速度和定位,因為40哩時速,跳躍者可以體會有如往下跳的自由感,接近地面時速度減慢。這是每個人一生難忘的經歷。

每一名跳者需要先上幾分鐘指導課,套上特製衣服,進入高塔頂邊緣往下跳,膽大者可張眼欣賞賭城大道夜景,跳下來過程將拍成影片留念。

哈利士 入主好萊塢星球
拉斯維加斯訊January 19, 2010 12:00 AM | 115 觀看次數 | 0 | 2 | |

好萊塢星球的酒店管理權和部分餐飲經營權日前正式歸入哈利士娛樂的旗下。 記者金康嵐/攝影
slideshow 拉斯維加斯大道上的賭業巨擘之一哈利士娛樂集團 (Harrah's Entertainment),自上周六午夜起,正式接手好萊塢星球度假中心(Planet Hollywood Resort)的酒店管理權和部分餐飲的經營權,並持續計畫收購整個產業。

哈利士從去年起就開始著手收購好萊塢星球度假中心共8億6000萬元的債務,到9月時,就控制了近1億4000萬,兩個月後,便遞出收購申請至內華達州賭業管理局(Nevada Gaming Control Board),而現在終於如願從喜達屋酒店及渡假村國際集團(Starwood Hotel & Resort Worldwide)的子公司手中,接過約14年的好萊塢星球酒店管理權,但不包括日前才開幕、由Westgate擁有的PH Tower。

哈利士娛樂董事兼執行長蓋瑞勒夫曼(Gary Loveman)表示,公司正持續在和好萊塢星球和其債權人溝通,希望在將來能擁有整個產業,目前好萊塢星球還是擁有產業中的賭場經營權。

發言人賈克琳彼得森(Jacqueline Peterson)則指出,此次經營權的異動並不會影響到在此產業工作的員工。另一方面,好萊塢星球的房間目前還未被囊括在哈利士娛樂的顧客回饋系統「Total Rewards」中。

而在併吞了共2496個好萊塢星球的房間後,哈利士在拉斯維加斯大道上就擁有2萬2866個房間,不過其最主要的競爭對手米高梅金殿(MGM Mirage),則由於城市中心(CityCenter)的開幕,總共擁有近4萬1000個房間。

老虎與福神帶來滿室好運。 (記者馮鳴台∕攝影)
slideshow 迎中國虎年來臨,拉斯維加斯美麗湖溫室花園(Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens)換上中國春節景觀。依中國風水安排設計,老虎、貓熊一左一右在中國福神兩邊,亭台、水榭、茂林、修竹和一盞盞紅燈籠,讓這座花園充滿中國式的歡慶。

從即日至2月28日,美麗湖溫室花園中國新年裝飾隱含很多中國人講究的好運哲理。最吸引遊客是代表虎運亨通的老虎,虎皮由乾花一朵朵貼上完成,牠站在太湖石上,腳下為錦鯉池,代表寧靜致遠、正向能量。

中國傳說中12生肖排第三位的老虎是勇敢和好運的化身,老虎遙對中國福神,位居花園正中央。18呎高的福神腳踏中國銅錢,一路傳達福氣。祂四周安設四座中國香爐,點燃著巨大香燭向天祈福。

中國國寶貓熊在另一座花園內玩耍,三隻可愛的貓熊造型,在竹枝中攀爬打滾,很多遊客在貓熊前留影。

中國紅絲綢燈籠在花園四處,有消除業障、迎接喜悅的意義。中國春節14日才到,賭城美麗湖先迎春接福。

電影《阿凡達》在全球引發3D電影的觀影熱潮,帶來嶄新的視覺饗宴。 (海報提供∕福斯電影公司)slideshow 電影裡,將地球人智慧知覺,轉移到他的阿凡達化身上。當他的阿凡達睡眠或失去知覺,地球人就會醒來,如同莊周夢為蝴蝶,蝴蝶又夢為莊周。這項技術,超越了生物科技和物理原理……

自從愛迪生發明了電影,全球觀眾一直等待著下一個重大突破和里程碑,無聲變有聲,黑白變彩色,其後雖然出現了電視和錄影,但觀眾們最期望看到的,其實是使人身歷其境的三度空間立體電影。這個夢想,到今天才可以說終於真正實現。

巧奪天工的3D立體電影,早已遠超越了五○年代的紅藍兩色濾光技術。它在電腦製圖、影像處理、感測控制各種技術的強力簇擁之下,將連綿的群山、花海、外太空異象,完整展現在觀眾眼前。這項重大突破,開啟了電影的新紀元,改變了全球觀眾的觀賞習慣,更將電影市場和票房紀錄,帶向新的高峰。

電影《阿凡達》(Avatar),正好擔任這場「視覺革命」的開路先鋒。全球票房預計將超過十億美元,聲勢凌駕於「吸血鬼」之上。並且已獲「金球獎」的最佳影片、最佳導演、最佳音樂、最佳歌曲等四項大獎提名。據說,這部電影的票房成功,使各大電影公司,迅速投入鉅資,將幾部已開拍的影片,提昇為3D技術,包括歷年來的賣座名片:《星際大戰》《侏o公園》、《鐵達尼號》及《魔鬼終結者》等,可能都將以3D技術,重新拍攝上映。

我做為電腦影像技術專家,從「星戰計畫」高速電腦影像辨識,到3D電腦繪圖晶片製作,都在技術上深切了解其中奧祕。然而,每次在大型劇場中,從觀賞者角度,觀看3D立體影片,心中仍感到驚豔萬分,如一場選美大會的評審者,欣賞著群芳競豔,一面為人類文明水準的精緻美妙,而暗自讚嘆喜悅。

電影《阿凡達》是《鐵達尼號》金像獎導演──詹姆士柯麥隆,再創電影奇效的新作。故事時間是2154年,在距離地球四光年的「人馬星系」裡,有一個美麗神祕的「潘朵拉」星球。星球上蘊藏著奇異礦產,可以解決人類能源危機。因此地球上一個商業集團,派遣特種部隊,前往爭奪。星球表面,景觀如天堂樂園,但缺乏氧氣,不適合生存。派駐在星球附近的醫學研究中心,研發出「阿凡達」化身技術,能將人類智慧知覺,轉移到另一個化身,那是用當地人種「納美人」的DNA培育而成。男主角傑克,就是用阿凡達技術,化身成為一個藍皮膚、尖耳朵、長尾巴、三米高的外星人帥哥。他的任務是潛入「納美族」中,學習技能,搜集情報,進行策反。當他融入納美族生活後,卻幡然悔悟,認知到自己的錯誤,轉而協助納美族人,抵抗地球人的侵略。

《阿凡達》裡的潘朵拉星球,是個3D立體樂園,比狄士尼樂園更為有趣,比侏儸紀公園更為驚險,比星際大戰更為奇幻。星球上,如世外桃源,布滿濃密原始森林、奇花異卉、柳暗花明,酷似南美洲的亞馬遜河流域。更有一株巨大參天的萬年古樹,聳立如高峰,直入雲霄。長滿青苔的樹枝上,可以行人走馬。周遭垂著無數蔓藤。到了夜晚,奇花異卉會發出螢光,形成一個霓虹世界,古樹的蔓藤,閃亮如流動著信息的光纖,恍如一株智慧通靈的神木。當地土著「納美人」,造型酷似美洲印第安人,只是藍皮膚、尖耳朵,身高三米。每人有一條長尾巴,尾巴如電纜,裡面隱藏著一束神經光纖。他們的光纖尾巴,另有妙用,可以和一種「鳳凰翼手龍」身上的天然內建韁繩,進行連線,從而駕馭鳳龍,凌虛御風,在風中衝浪。

我們的男主角傑克,化身為外星「阿凡達」之後,就在黑夜森林中的神木附近,邂逅一位身手敏捷、身材婀娜、儀態萬千、貌似藍貓的外星長腿辣妹,她正巧是納美族的公主。由此發展出一連串曲折的劇情。

人類能否旅行到外星?或外星人能否來地球?在科幻作品中,當然不是問題。而在現實生活中,仍有許多人心中存疑。有人認為:以目前最快的火箭發射到最近的星系,都需要幾萬年,因此只有機器人才能跑那麼遠。而從科幻角度來看,火箭速度,仍有很大改進空間。目前所知的速度極限,是光速。將來有一天,人類可能以接近光速飛行。那麼飛到「人馬星系」,就只要四年。《阿凡達》裡,主角傑克在「冷凍櫃」中,五年後醒來,就到達潘朵拉星球。他的飛行速度,可能略低於光速。

另外,根據愛因斯坦的《相對論》,一旦速度接近光速,牛頓力學公式,就不再適用。這時,連時間的長短,都不相同,需要用「洛倫茲變換」,重新計算。因此,在別人座標系統上,雖然已過了五年。在傑克的座標系統上,他可能只過了幾天。

看來到外星旅行,並不算太難,只是在今天,一般人對愛因斯坦的《相對論》,可能還缺乏普遍了解。

更進一步看,將來在「非線性物理」上,還可能有新發現,太空中也可能存在著「奇異點」或「蟲洞」,是快速到達遙遠外星的捷徑。

一部成功電影,其影響力不下於一個成功上市公司。它所需要的創意、技術、資源、人力和行銷網路,也同樣規模龐大,形成一場全球創意大戰。

《阿凡達》所運用的3D技術,包涵了多項領域:3D立體顯像技術、3D電腦繪圖技術、3D動作捕捉技術、3D機械控制技術。

立體視覺效果,主要出於3D立體顯像技術。《阿凡達》片中採用的,仍是相似於五○年代的雙色濾光技術,觀眾仍需要配戴濾光眼鏡,然而色彩效果,卻已截然不同。它並未使用另一種造價較昂貴的LCD技術,而色彩效果,已經相當接近。這也替未來的3D推廣,指點出一條低價路線。

創造3D奇景的另一要素,是3D電腦繪圖技術。藉此製造出優美的3D動畫效果,電腦造景,巧奪天工,比拍攝實景,更為動人心弦。電影中又運用3D動作捕捉技術,在演員臉上身上,貼滿了微小感應器,藉此控制長相酷似演員的3D卡通人物。這使動畫人物的表情動作,十分自然。

3D機械控制技術,控制攝影鏡頭的滑動、飛動,並能塑造出奇妙的武器、機器人、飛行工具。

以上的各種3D效果,配合著IMAX劇院放映,會令人感覺如同獨自一個人,置身於奇幻3D世界,劇院裡其他人都已消失無蹤。幾乎想伸手到森林裡,去捕捉一隻飄浮在空中的螢光水母。

「阿凡達」名詞的原始涵義,本是印度神明的轉世化身。在網際網路上,「阿凡達」也是個常用名詞,指的是部落格或留言版上的個人圖像,可以是本人照片、卡通人物、明星劇照、風景花卉,或只是一個黑色人影。留言者本人和他的「阿凡達」圖像,就身分、特徵、性格而言,可能相差十萬八千里。

電影裡,將地球人智慧知覺,轉移到他的阿凡達化身上。當他的阿凡達睡眠或失ブX,地球人就會醒來,如同莊周夢為蝴蝶,蝴蝶又夢為莊周。這項技術,超越了生物科技和物理原理。在電影《駭客任務》(The Matrix)中也有相似的描述,角色在夢醒之間可以進出真實與虛擬世界。

《阿凡達》中另一挑戰物理原理的,是像氣球一樣飄浮在空中的一群山丘,山上樹林茂盛,水流瀑布,如入仙境,蔚為奇觀。傳奇小說《大小人國遊記》主角格列佛,也曾到訪過一個飄浮在空中的「飛島」。

飄浮的山丘,物理上並不算太離譜,它可能內含低密度氣體,如同氣球。也可能含有大量磁鐵,正負極向與地面相反,推斥磁力與地心引力達到平衡點,因此飄浮在空中。

主角傑克最後的幡然悔悟,陣前起義,是最高潮的劇情轉折。因此,有人認為電影《阿凡達》,含有「保護生態」和「反戰」的義涵。與其說是「反戰」,不如說在維護一個和平、自由、民主的普世價值。如此才能與人群和諧相處,與自然和諧相處。《阿凡達》裡的普世價值,非但超越了族群,超越了國家和意識形態,並且超越了星球和人類物種。

電影《阿凡達》的場景,挑戰「物理」極限。它的化身技術,挑戰「生理」和「心理」極限。它的普世價值,則挑戰當前的「倫理」極限。從一個宏觀角度看,這些物理、生理、心理、倫理的議題,彷彿超越了三度空間,甚至四度空間的範圍,似乎進入另一種「第五度空間」。

第四度空間是「時間」。那麼,第五度空間是什麼呢?

經過第五度空間,能很快到達外太空星球嗎?能穿越時光隧道嗎?能將智慧知覺,轉移到另一個化身嗎?能夠控制人類情緒思維,明辨是非、功過、得失嗎?

西方近代文學,經常反映出時代環境,並且和當時的科學發展,有其互動。從浪漫主義、寫實主義,到現代主義、後現代主義,勾繪出二百年來人類文明生活的演進軌跡。

在文藝、影視範圍中,或許將來會出現一個真正的「新未來主義」學派,有別於過去曾出現過的「未來主義」,目標並不在於除舊布新,它需要以宏觀角度,和平理性方式,描繪展現,深思探討,為即將來臨的未來世界,指點出一個光明道路。

今日觀眾,感受、沉醉在3D視覺革命之時,似乎應該開始著手,思考規畫,為文藝和生活的前景,許一個4D、或5D的未來。(寄自加州)
