中原城市領先指數 CCL 13年新高

中原指數13年新高
 (明報)2011年2月19日 星期六

【明報專訊】政府去年11月中推出額外印花稅,遏抑樓市炒風後,樓價曾曇花一現回落,但私宅供求失衡再度令樓價很快回升,昨公布的城市大學    與中原地產    合作的中原城市領先指數顯示,截至本月13日,最新報93.41點,對上一周為91.45點,換言之,整體二手樓價一周上升2.14%。樓價升勢正在加速,指數更創1997年11月2日以來新高。中原預測,今年上半年樓價將跨越97年巔峰。

現較97高峰相差一成

下周港府將公布財政預算,各政黨呼籲政府要再出招遏抑樓市,特別是復建居屋(見配稿)。另外,有8家發展昨入標被視為利潤較低、首個規限單位面積(限呎)項目前元朗村用地,反映發展商搶地心切,看好後市。

本港樓價的歷史高峰為1997年10月19日,當時指數報102.93點,現時最新指數仍較當時相差約一成。上述最新指數,主要反映三周前的交易情况(即1月24日至30日的農曆年假前一周)。地產界人士指出,近二三周樓價升勢有可能更急,中原聯席董事黃良昇稱,只要指數每周上升0.5點,20周後指數便可跨越97高峰。

分區方面,港島、九龍、新界東及新界西區樓價全面上升。港島區指數103.19點,按周上升1.61%,樓價只要再升1.3%,便可以壓倒97年10月26日的104.44點歷史高位。九龍區指數90.29點,按周上升2.34%;新界東區指數報88.11點,按周上升1.98%;新界西區指數報72.69點,按周上升2%。

另方面,昨日截標的前元朗村用地吸引8家發展商入標,反應較市場預期佳,入標包括多家主要發展商如新地、長實    等,恒地方面則稱因為地質問題(項目章程指出有溶洞風險),沒有入標。近年主力興建豪宅的大昌集團    亦罕有入標,大昌執行董事李永修表示﹕「項目位置理想,雖然限呎,但對項目絕無影響」。

限呎元朗村地皮 8發展商入標

有建築師認為,項目雖限呎,但無法限制日後的發售價,相信中標的發展商會在項目設計下工夫,令日後買家可打通單位,突破限呎。他認為,推出限呎項目,作用不大,不過是政府安撫市民的手法。

中原測量師黎堅輝說,雖然該地皮限呎,但地盤大,相信發展商可於整體規劃及用料上升級,令項目有利可圖,料項目日後呎價可達5000至6000元。

Marathon runners urged to watch step on health
Elizabeth Law
Thursday, February 17, 2011
The Standard

The record 65,000 runners participating in Sunday's Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon are advised to put personal health and safety above all else.

The alert comes after dozens of runners collapsed during last year's event, with 55 hospitalized. Most of them suffered from heatstroke, or had breathing difficulties because of air pollution.

Accident and emergency doctors said those most at risk are the inexperienced who don't know how far to push themselves.

Participants are urged to take precautions against the cold to avoid hypothermia, and to watch for slippery roads if running in the rain.

According to the observatory, while there will be sunny intervals, the day will begin with patches of rain all over the territory, with temperatures ranging from 13 to 17 degrees Celsius.

The Auxiliary Medical Services will provide support, with more than 400 personnel spread over 20 first-aid posts.

The annual event features three separate runs, including the 42-kilometer full marathon and 21km half marathon.

AMS doctor Chan Man-chung said risks are greater at the 10km mark and the finish.

The 10km mark is where most runners who are not fully prepared start experiencing leg cramps.

As for the finish, runners tend to go all out when sprinting towards the line, and very often collapse from exhaustion, Chan said.

The marathons start in Tsim Sha Tsui, then wind through Kowloon and the New Territories before reaching through Hong Kong Island to end in Victoria Park.

The less strenuous 10km challenge starts at the Eastern Island Corridor and also finishes in Victoria Park.

To facilitate the marathon, several roads in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories will be closed, with more than 130 bus services disrupted.

The MTR will begin services from 3.25am to allow runners to get to the starting point.

Members of the public can go onto www.td.com.hk for details of the affected roads, as well as the alternative transport services available.

Rackspace - Off-Site Hosting is Good for E-Commerce Businesses

Why Off-Site Hosting is Good for E-Commerce Businesses
FEBRUARY 15, 2011
By Brian Anthony Hernandez,
Business News Daily Staff Writer

Rackspace Hosting

To save time and money, businesses across the world are relying on companies that host information technology (IT) to store their e-mails, data, websites and applications on off-site servers.

These hosting companies eliminate the need for businesses to purchase, manage and maintain pricey – and often complicated – computing infrastructures.

Christopher Rajiah, Rackspace Hosting’s vice president of North American channel sales, said hosting is increasingly playing an important role, particularly for e-commerce businesses. Rajiah spoke with BusinessNewsDaily about the latest hosting trends, reasons businesses shouldn’t be afraid of hosting services and Rackspace’s similarities to a certain superhero.

BusinessNewsDaily: What trends are you seeing in the e-commerce and technology industries? Any major concerns?

Christopher Rajiah: We are seeing e-commerce platforms and cloud computing solutions work together and more in sync than ever before.

What’s driving this trend is really the need for speed and compute resources to run a successful e-commerce platform. As data traffic increases, the availability of these resources dwindles.

In the cloud, e-commerce organizations can scale resources as they need them, on demand, meaning when there’s a peak in service or shopping —such as Cyber Monday — e-commerce companies utilizing cloud computing can quickly spin up servers in the cloud to handle additional requests and spin them down when the need is gone.

One major concern for e-commerce companies is downtime. Sometimes it happens, but for organizations that fail to properly plan their hosting needs, it can happen a lot. And in e-commerce, that inability to process transactions means lost revenue for every minute that goes by. By adjusting the computing resources on the fly and using a hosting solution that provides advanced monitoring and support to fix problems when they occur, e-commerce companies can be assured that their transactions won't be compromised by a lack of resources.

BND: Why should businesses consider hosting services?

C.R.: By working with a hosting provider, businesses can get an increase their scalability and lower their costs and the need for lost of internal on-staff experts.

Whether they choose to host their e-mail, data, website or applications — like the ones that process online payment transactions — businesses can tap into additional resources when they need it without having to buy more physical servers or hire internal IT support to run them.

Businesses should consider hosting because it provides a wealth of benefits, including both saved money and time, as well as support from experts who know exactly how to effectively manage these environments.

This helps organizations focus on their business, instead of on the IT infrastructure that powers it.

BND: If Rackspace were a superhero, which one would it be and why?

C.R.: Definitely Superman.  Rackspace employees – called Rackers – are the everyday heroes who come to the rescue of clients day in and day out whenever they need help. They act with super speed in response to fixing problems and answering questions, they have super-strong knowledge in their fields and the vision to see what customers need before they need it.

(法新社紐約15日電) 美國哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)今天說,該台首席海外特派員蘿根(Lara Logan)在埃及報導總統穆巴拉克(Hosni Mubarak)垮台時,遭暴民「殘忍」性侵。

哥倫比亞廣播公司發表聲明:「當時群眾歡慶(穆巴拉克下台),她與她的團隊及保鑣遭危險分子包圍。超過200位暴民突然發狂。」

「在暴民推擠下,她與團隊走散。她被暴民包圍,並不斷遭到殘忍性侵與毆打,直到後來,才被一群女子與約20名埃及士兵救出。」

美國哥倫比亞廣播公司表示,這起事件發生於11日開羅市中心解放廣場(Tahrir Square),也就是穆巴拉克下台當天。

事發後隔天,蘿根即飛往美國。聲明中表示:「她目前在醫院靜養。」
