核電歸零 上萬人走上街頭響應
日本311東北大地震伴隨著福島核災，造成日本重大的輻射危機，台灣超過百個公民團體約上萬人，選在311屆滿1週年的今天(11日)在北、中、南三地走上街頭，以遊行、行動劇方式，提出「核災風險歸零、核汙染歸零」等訴求，要求政府停建核能電廠，讓民眾免於核災恐懼。
『(口號原音)核四停建、告別核電、核電歸零。』
日本福島核災屆滿週年，台灣超過百個公民團體今天(11日)在台北、台中舉行反核遊行活動，並在晚間於高雄舉辦祈福晚會，有超過上萬人共同響應，向政府訴求核電歸零。
台北場的遊行下午1時從龍山寺出發，經過西門紅樓及台北火車站前新光三越表演行動劇及快閃活動，約4時20分抵達凱達格蘭大道主會場。台灣環境保護聯盟秘書長李卓翰說，政府雖然已經答應老舊核電廠會按時關閉，但核四廠卻撥下更多經費興建，似乎沒有記取福島核災的慘痛經驗，核能危機仍是夢魘。
而堆放核廢料的蘭嶼居民也出現遊行隊伍中，他們在前一晚就北上、製作道具，表達強烈意志，希望政府把核廢料遷出蘭嶼。蘭嶼居民：『(原音)過去這個島嶼是由耆老帶著我們守護，今天我們是帶著我們自己的孩子前來凱道，繼續傳承反核廢的使命，我希望能呼籲社會大眾給予我們資源，為我們發出怒吼，讓政府能重視蘭嶼輻射外洩的事實並做整體健康檢查，甚至與我們重起談判。』
反核活動也有音樂人、文化界人士前來響應，共同為核災歸零、風險歸零發聲。
2012 節能產業機會 - LED照明 ( 2012 green energy industrial real ramp up - LED lamp )

| Image via Wikipedia |
市場原預期，眾所期盼的LED照明「甜蜜點」必須等到下半年才看到；但根據 LEDinside 最新調查，由於韓國地區競爭激烈，取代40瓦的LED燈泡報價，今年1月已跌破10美元，甚至北美、英國最低價也逼進10美元；LED照明甜蜜點提前來臨，預期可帶動龐大的需求商機。
照明被視為LED綠能產業的最大商機，過去因為LED價格過高，雖然擁有省電、壽明長等優點，但仍無法與白熾、省電燈泡競爭；業界普遍將取代40瓦照明的LED燈泡跌破10美元、取代60瓦的LED燈泡跌至10美元至12美元時，即達到所謂市場需求「甜蜜點」，一旦落在此價位之下，需求曲線將大幅翻揚。 ....
分析
- 台灣電力公司平均電力傳輸效率低於 92.67%，損失約8%，發展高效率之電力傳輸很重要，能節省電力傳輸損失5%，核能就可以降低運轉比率，無核家園需要政府及大家努力。
- 如果全台都使用國產 LED 燈泡，一個家庭 30 顆 LED 燈泡， 全台用非營業電量佔年總用電量的23.43%，期中35%以上是屬於照明，預估都使用 LED 燈泡，約可以降低60%以上之電力耗損，因此可以節省約5% ~ 8%以上全台總用電量；( 註：若使用 120 lm/w LED 燈泡就比日光燈 70 lm/w 省許多電 );
- 計算節省電力傳輸損失5%， 全台都使用國產 LED 燈泡節省約5%以上全台總用電量，總共可節約10% 以上全台總用電量 ，仍需尋找替代能源來補足核能之20%發電量，而台灣備用發電量是22% ~23%，所以幾乎6年後逐步無核發電但擁核電以備能原危機運轉用；
- 由這樣分析下來， 無核家園需要的努力，不是一兩年的事，需要將家庭與工業用電在節約10% ，將家庭中電視、冰箱 、 洗衣機 、 吹風機 、 暖爐定義更優之節能規格讓全民去努力 ， 才能達成全民節能創業之新方向；
- 也許那一天台灣發明全世界最省電之 電視、冰箱 、 洗衣機 、 吹風機暖爐 、電腦 、 LED 燈泡，讓我們不只是無核，更產生幾百家全世界最省電之產品公司，讓許多年輕人充滿希望與信心；政府更應該開始定義節能方向，讓全台總用電量逐年下降，台灣產品節電能力逐年提高，經八年後極可能不需要核能。
馬總統政策上必須刺激投資率，否則無法改善年輕人失業率

我青年失業率 比英國好
行政院長陳冲昨（10）日勉勵年輕人，人老心不老，是非常重要的事，「對過去謙卑，對未來保持理想」；國內青年失業率為12.7%，與英國年輕人失業率只略低於50%相比，台灣表現相對較好，政府仍會繼續努力。
青輔會昨天舉辦「101年青年領袖政策研習營」開幕式，邀請陳冲出席並發表演說。陳冲圍了一條建國101年的國旗圍巾，特別引人注目。
面對年輕人的失業問題，陳冲表示，目前失業率4.18%，年輕人失業率較高，若以20到24歲階段來看是12.7%，但這是目前全球普遍現象。以英國為例，失業率超過11%，年輕人失業率只略低於50%，是很可怕的現象；台灣表現相對好，政府仍要繼續努力。
陳冲指出，去年一年全球都是年輕人的時代，以國外為例，阿拉伯年輕人推翻獨裁統治，英國年輕人鬧上街頭，燒毀房子汽車、打劫百貨公司。阿拉伯年輕人創造阿拉伯之春，有正面意義；英國年輕人只是鬧事。大家的行動與有無目的、理想，有很大的差別。
他引用英國工黨領袖米利班德的話，「對過去謙卑，對未來保持理想」，永遠要充滿理想來做事，趁年輕實踐理想，希望在場的人一直到100歲都保持年輕的心。
台灣年輕人的隱憂
台灣年輕人受過良好教育，職業素質好，卻在高經濟品質下，習慣於安逸，有困守本島的思維傾向和保守行為。

第一點大家毫無爭議都支持，就是台灣要向大陸學習改革開放，這是大陸過去三十年奇蹟發展的祕訣。
另外一點，台灣要向大陸學習創業精神，這招致來自台灣政、商、學界一致反對。他們覺得台灣不缺創業精神，民間企業蓬勃發展是台灣經濟自由及過去高速成長的重要動力。
馬總統努力不夠，無法提振民間投資率，為什麼？
2011 ~ 2012 年的失業率接近陳總統執政的 2001，今年民間投資成長率呈現負成長1.16%，馬總統執政成績很差，民間投資成長率與利率、貨幣寬鬆、稅法及投資環境有關，台灣利率、貨幣寬鬆及投資環境都還不錯，但2011/3月M1B最高時，民間投資成長率往房地產成長比率升高很多，證明跟稅法一定有關； .....
振興經濟無方 消費力道疲弱

同期新加坡投資率及消費成長都遠高台灣，失業率更遠低於台灣，我分析結果有幾大因素影響因素及改善之道：
- 政府有創造環境讓年輕人有新希望嗎? 一位清大碩士畢業在 HTC 擔任軟體工程師，工作三年半99.8%時間僅能測試智能手機，整理測試報告，他也很想有機會發展他的創意，問題是在台灣很難找到其他好的機會；簡單講，政府沒有把投資環境做好，許多人說：大家等馬總統都等了四年， 馬總統一連任又忘了還有許多人放無薪假、民間投資率是負成長 、許多大學生、研究生畢業找不到工作，政府總說有改善，問題是改善太慢了，而油 、 電、瓦斯價格選後就漲價了 ， 人民無助感持續增加；
- 政府有鼓勵微型創業政策嗎? 大陸及新加坡都有鼓勵微型創業政策，台灣卻看不見，要降低年輕人失業率，政府要有良好的鼓勵微型創業政策及投資優惠政策讓有錢人和企業願意支持，如果一個有錢人和企業願意支持 5 個微型創業，很快就有 2000 微型創業公司，年輕人失業率就能快速下降；僅靠大企業是無法讓年輕人失業率下降，也無法讓原有代工產業加速至創意、品牌 、 服務之新產業；
- 台灣多屬代工產業型態，金融海嘯後代工產業更需要降低成本，往越南、大陸內陸如重慶等地區增加 ， 林教授分析部份就是這裡，其他部份他沒有分析到；更說明政府必須大幅鼓勵有錢人開創新公司從事品牌、創新及研發，轉移代工型態，才能改善投資率；
- 設立新公司屬於新創未上市公司，由於2006年制定2010年開始對投資未上市公司實施最低稅負制 ，阻止許多有錢人投資進入新創公司，加上新加坡及大陸提出許多新創公司之優惠投資條件，新創公司往國外發展，境外新創公司結合國內子公司成主流， 新加坡及大陸更是出許多奇招拉攏台灣有創意及專利之新創公司，如增資一億元新加坡也送一億元當獎勵投資之條件，根本是搶台灣有創意及專利之新創公司，這些是真實例子；
- 過去政府相當鼓勵有錢人開公司養員工， 開設新公司都屬於新創公司，因為投資新創公司風險很高但可以創造很高數量之工作機會，投資新創公司屬於長期投資，所以未上市公司買賣過去政府只科證交稅，對投資未上市公司實施最低稅負制後，投資人只能等公司上市時才能買賣，而10家未上市公司約8家6年內不可能上市 ，造成原投資未上市公司的錢都轉向，最明顯是2008 ~ 2009許多投資未上市公司的錢都轉向房地產，因為稅率及風險遠低於未上市公司投資， 房地產投資所創造之工作機會又遠低於新創公司投資，這也就是投資率太低、失業率太高之主因，也是實例；
- 救失業之重點在於獎勵投資的減稅優惠上，台灣的銀行存款總額達新台幣27.1兆元，為甚麼民間投資率還這麼低？答案當然是投資激勵之優惠不夠。更嚴重問題是有錢人投資開公司創造就業率之稅率遠高於有錢人投資房地產，難怪薪資不漲、房價漲、失業率是四小龍最高。
- 美國與台灣財政部是否有問題，既然美國與台灣都利用未來錢舉債刺激經濟，為甚麼不能利用未來遺產稅刺激經濟?只要沒有刺激投資激勵之優惠，富豪不投資公司養人賺錢，那來高經濟成長 ， 那來稅收成長持續支持軍公教退休奉之成長。政府如何鼓勵資產超過3億的台灣人，投資 1 ~ 2 千萬發展微型創業公司，給年輕人希望給台灣未來，如果政府鼓勵微型創業投資成功，全台灣將有超過一萬六千萬有錢人投入微型創業公司，所影響就業年輕人將超過 25萬人，至少有上萬個創意會產生，對台灣未來影響很大。
- 說實在，全民對於馬總統拼就業率，總是感覺力道不夠，難道公務員都是這樣嗎？手上有這麼多權力，卻聽信公教出生之黨團策士，那些黨團策士是沒有經營經驗、也未經歷無薪假的貴族，怎可能知道民間疾苦？

ＩＰＯ課稅 劉：「非常可以討論」
立法院財委會昨日聚焦於資本利得課稅問題，尤其剛上市（ＩＰＯ）王品集團，當初認購員工每張股票馬上賺進四十七萬餘元，大賺二萬多倍，卻享有證所稅免稅。國民黨立委賴士葆建議，ＩＰＯ差價應納入個人最低稅負課稅，他提案要求財政部在六個月內研議對六千萬元以上的豪宅交易實價課稅。
曾巨威則認為，目前最低稅負制門檻太高，企業或個人幾乎都課不到，若要將ＩＰＯ差價納入課稅，建議配套作法是減半調降最低稅賦制的門檻，才不會是「課假的」。
財政部長劉憶如說，ＩＰＯ課稅「是非常可以討論的」，這些都算是資本利得稅範圍，只要民眾認為有需要討論的議題，都會納入「財政健全小組」中討論推動，包括證所稅與不動產買賣利得等資本利得稅。
昨天不少立委對剛上市的王品，抽中每張股票馬上獲利十多萬元、原始認購每張賺四十七萬餘元，卻享證所稅免稅，表達關切。
劉憶如強調，稅改的大方向，就是在不影響大眾前提下，只針對很有錢的少數人課稅，達到公平正義與稅收並重。「大家要討論的議題，就沒有理由排除不討論」，但原則上，就是要量能課稅、公平正義，且循序漸進，將衝擊降到最低，不能把產業都趕跑。
民間投資負成長 主計總處再下修101年經濟成長率至3.85%

國民所得統計評審會22日召開第216次會議，審議去（100）年第3季國民所得統計修正、100年第4季國民所得初步統計，以及101年預測等，100年第4季經濟成長率初步統計為1.89%，較1月概估數略降0.01個百分點；第3季經濟成長率也修正為3.45%，較原統計數提高0.03個百分點，併計去年第1季成長6.62%、第2季4.52%後，100年經濟成長率修正為4.04%，較1月概估數微幅上修0.01個百分點。
公務人員退休金存款18%優惠利率現況分析
（一）一年18%的利息負擔多少
據退撫司司長呂明泰於7日在答覆國民黨立委吳清池質詢18%相關議題時表示：如果公務人員以平均56歲退休，再領取24年18%優惠利率的基礎來計算，在未來40年，政府將要支付6兆的利息。不過由於銓敘部原本估算是以每年最多負擔700多億，同時領取18％的人數也會因年齡增長而有所遞減，因此銓敘部的估算為不超過3兆。
根據台灣銀行最新統計，目前18％優惠存款總帳戶數為40萬1千戶，總存款規模為4,303億元，一個月必須支出64億元的利息，以去年11月為例，台銀負擔16億元，政府則負擔48八億元利息，總計一年利息支出金額便高達768億元。
由於呂明泰司長的說法、銓敘部相差一倍。而且台灣銀行最新統計資料又與前者不同，到底哪個才正確，則應有明確之計算方式，讓社會大眾了解檢驗。
（二）享有18%優惠的對象為何
優惠存款達200萬元以上的人數佔總退休人數的20％，亦即當時屬高階公務員，多是資深民代、政務官等；而其他大部份都屬中低階公務員，大多只領70到80萬元退休金。
優惠存款達200萬元以上的人，若以200萬元18％來計，將近有4萬元，相較於當前不景氣、高失業率的情況下，算是不菲的收入。
但對於其他中低階公務員一次退大多只領70到80萬元退休金者，18％計算，每月拿到的利息不過一萬多元，頂多維持最起碼生活而已。
改革退休制 避免希臘化
現在歐洲經濟愁雲慘霧，南歐國家的債務問題越滾越大，追根究柢就是想要享有北歐的高福利政策，但是經濟不景氣、政府無力收稅、民眾避稅逃稅，所以只能「以債養債」。而北歐因為經濟較好、稅金收得高，勉強還可支撐。
另一個問題是「公務員龐大的支出」。公務員薪資極為優渥，但效率低落，而政府不提升工作效率，反而用增加公務員的名額解決問題，如此惡性循環之下，歐債風暴越演越烈。舉個例，南歐和英國都是公醫體系，台灣的醫療是「財團法人化」，導致我們有些醫院被稱為「血汗醫院」，醫護員工非常辛苦；相較於南歐，醫管鬆散，工作效率奇差，人事成本偏高，但紅包仍然滿天飛。
再則就是「老年人口的問題」，在台灣，二○一○年平均壽命已達七九．二歲，而且每年還在以○．二~○．二五歲增加中，現在我們是六五歲退休，平均每個老年人還要活十五年，而就業人口大約從二十五歲開始工作。換句話說，正在工作的人除了要養老年人十五年之外，還要養下一代的二十五年，總共是四十年。而我們從工作到退休最多也是四十年，台灣實際退休年齡平均是五五．六歲，生產人口少，扶養人口比節節上升。
分析
- 一些高收入的人，一年繳 40%稅，政府也無法給多繳稅人好的年老福利，再一想到繳 10000元稅金就有 7000 給了軍公教人員之花費，軍公教人員之年老退休福利又比非軍公教人員好上 3 ~ 6 倍，根本沒有人想繳稅，非常不公平；所以，馬政府租稅改革根本是欺騙人民。
- ＩＰＯ課稅會更衝擊台灣就業市場，影響幅度遠超過其他稅制，因為新加坡、大陸、香港對 ＩＰＯ 投資風險高創造高就業率而不科獲利，台灣只科證交稅，原本未上股未實施最低稅負制時，台灣民間投資率很高，自從對未上股未實施最低稅負制後 ， 台灣民間投資率一直很低，存款反而創新高 ， 足以證明台灣投資環境逐漸惡化由此而來；
- 台灣勞工要覺醒要抗爭，因為新加坡、韓國、香港 、 美國 、 日本無一國家像台灣稅收分配制度如此不公平，是A勞工稅收去支付軍公教退休俸，還要支付軍公教三十年不繳稅累積之債務，形成850萬勞工養140萬軍公教退休人員之現象，養至 軍公教人員死亡，而且退休俸替代率是95% ， 勞工現在平均薪資低於軍公教人員 ，而勞工則是自已扣繳之6%退休儲金來支付退休金貼，相當不公平 ， 請参考 2.6兆退休金黑洞 全民埋單！及軍公教長期沒有繳稅造成嚴重政府負債；
- 由 “ 公務人員退休金存款18%優惠利率現況分析 ”得知軍公教人員 140萬裡已經有29.28% 是領退休俸， 領退休俸人員將會逐年增加，新進 軍公教人員也就逐年增加， 也就是說1兆多軍公教人員花費將逐年增加，不是原預估之 3 % ~ 5% ，那是財政大問題。解決辦法就是軍公教人員每月由薪資提撥之退休儲蓄提高超過10% ，也就是讓每年軍公教人員 退休儲蓄基金增加1100億，這樣五年後軍公教人員之退休俸就可以逐年增加由退休儲蓄基金支援之比率，稅收支出至軍公教退休俸就可以逐年減少，勞工退休年金就可以增加政府支援之比率，這樣才能逐漸讓稅收與國民福利達到 「公平正義」，消除目前政府稅收之退休福利都集中於軍公教人員，形成一般勞工是次等公民之現象 ；如果政府稅收不完全用來照顧繳稅三十年之勞工福利，則政府稅收70%變成只是用來照顧累計三十年未繳稅之公教人員福利，從退休福利看更明顯， 勞工 退休福利幾乎100%來自雇主及自已多扣之退休國民儲金，而軍公教之退休福利是勞工與雇主繳的稅，非常不公義的稅收分配制度。
- 台灣勞工要覺醒，不要被政府『租稅健全』所騙， 現任政府『租稅健全』等於持續利用增稅掩飾軍公教花費過高又不扣軍公教人員退休儲蓄金造成財政危機 ， 請参考 台灣是收稅分配最不公義之國家 ；
- 更嚴重的是未來5年 軍公教人員退休比率將逐年增加，依照模擬軍公教人員花費到 2019 年將占總稅收 78.71% ， 軍公教退休俸比率將超過44%，國家財政問題嚴重到高稅收及高度稅收分配不公，而軍公教提撥退休年金幾乎都由勞工及雇主繳的稅去支助， 軍公教三十年未繳之稅累積的債也幾乎都由勞工及雇主繳的稅去還，更嚴重是增稅無法解決 軍公教退休俸的黑洞；
- 依目前情況分析，民間投資率確實因為每年軍公教花費持續增加而加速惡化；
- 要用數字看台灣勞工為什麼是次等公民, 為什麼你繳的稅錢是養軍公教一生? 而你的一生退休時是來至你自已每月扣下來之退休國民儲金6% ，主因就是政府官員及立委都仔細用盡媒體以『租稅正義』奪取稅，其實就是為了養軍公教終身及他們三十年未繳稅累積的債 ，然後持續須要增加稅收去補 軍公教花費形成之財政黑洞，主因就是軍教三十年未繳稅累積的債及退休俸來自於稅不是來自於軍公教薪資；
- 軍公教退休俸來自於稅不是來自於每月扣軍公教薪資 ， 既使 軍公教薪資 10%當做軍公教未來退休俸，假設軍公教退休後平均仍有十五年壽命， 軍公教平均工作35年才退休，也只能累積之退休儲金也只能支持低於 25% 替代率，退休俸 95% 替代率太高了造成國家財政嚴重惡化，結果是政府想盡名目抽稅，去補財政黑洞，卻造成民間投資率大幅下滑，國家財政更惡化 ， 勞工工作機會減少薪資低落，整體稅收難成長 。
- 財政黑洞既然是來自軍公教 ，應先解決軍公教退休俸及退休俸 95% 替代率之問題， 而不是增稅， 因為未來軍公教退休俸花費會超過整體稅收38% ， 軍公教整體花費將接近總稅收80% ，這制度是會倒閉的，政府須先增加軍公教自薪資15%扣退休儲備金，讓軍公教自已為自已準備30%替代率之退休俸，65%仍自稅收補足 ， 避免政府財政崩潰時軍公教退休俸無法資出，因為軍公教95% 替代率之退休俸由稅收支出是不可行也不公義，但如何照顧30年前因制度上軍公教薪資很低之錯誤制度之問題，也找不到方法，如果不是許多有知識願意奉獻如葉金川點出制度嚴重問題，沒有模擬我們不知道台灣將在2020進入財政崩潰時機，沒繳退休儲備金之軍公教是不可能在面臨財政崩潰時拿到退休俸，更不可能挪勞工退休儲備金去支持軍公教退休人員；

Rachel McAdams
Rachel Anne McAdams (born November 17, 1978) is a Canadian actress. After graduating from a four-year theatre program at York University in 2001, McAdams initially worked in Canadian television and film productions such as My Name is Tanino, Perfect Pie (for which she received a Genie Award nomination) and Slings and Arrows (for which she won a Gemini Award). Her first Hollywood movie was the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick. McAdams found fame in 2004 with starring roles in the teen comedy Mean Girls and the romantic drama The Notebook. In 2005, she appeared in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers, the psychological thriller Red Eye and the family drama The Family Stone. She was hailed by the media as "the next Julia Roberts"[1][2] and received a BAFTA nomination for Best Rising Star.
However, McAdams withdrew from public life in 2006 and 2007. During this time, she turned down leading roles in high-profile films such as The Devil Wears Prada. She made a low-key return to work in 2008, starring in two limited release films: the film noir Married Life and the road trip movie The Lucky Ones. She returned to prominence in 2009 with appearances in the political thriller State of Play, the science-fiction romance The Time Traveler's Wife and the action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes. McAdams's first star vehicle was the 2010 comedy Morning Glory. In 2011, she starred in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris and made a cameo appearance in the action-adventure sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. McAdams co-starred in 2012's romantic drama The Vow, and will next appear in both an as-yet-untitled Terrence Malick film and Brian De Palma's Passion.
McAdams lives in the Harbord Village neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has dated both Ryan Gosling and Josh Lucas, and is in a relationship with Michael Sheen. She is an environmentalist.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow born September 27, 1972, is an American actress and singer. She made her acting debut on stage in 1990 and started appearing in films in 1991. After appearing in several films throughout the decade, Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Seven (1995) and Emma (1996) (in which she played the title role). Following the films Sliding Doors (1998) and A Perfect Murder (1998), Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her role as Holly Holliday on the Fox hit TV show Glee in the episode "The Substitute".
Personal life
At the age of 24, Paltrow was engaged for six months to actor Brad Pitt, whom she dated from December 1994 to June 1997. The engagement was called off, according to Paltrow, because she wasn't ready for marriage and later felt responsible for hurting Pitt since she was "such a mess" during that time in her life. Paltrow has since said that, as this was her first high-profile relationship with another celebrity, it taught her the need for public discretion about her romantic life; she told Biography magazine, "I said things about being in a relationship [with Brad Pitt] that felt wrong to me even as I was saying them."
Paltrow had an on-off three-year relationship with actor Ben Affleck from 1997 to late 2000. Soon after their breakup, Paltrow convinced Affleck to work in the film Bounce with her; during the making of the film, which was shot in mid 1999, the couple started dating again and eventually broke up in October 2000.
In October 2002, Paltrow met Chris Martin of the British rock group Coldplay backstage three weeks after the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow. They married on December 5, 2003 in a ceremony at a hotel in Southern California. On 14 May 2004, the couple had their first child, a girl named Apple Blythe Alison Martin. Paltrow explained the unusual first name on Oprah, saying: "It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and … clean! And I just thought, 'Perfect!'"
Her second child, a boy named Moses Bruce Anthony Martin, was born on 8 April 2006, in New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital. Her son's first name was explained as the song, titled "Moses", that her husband wrote for her before their wedding. Paltrow has stated that she cut down on work after becoming a mother. She has also said that she suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her second child.
In 2010, she suffered a severe tibial plateau fracture, due to a vitamin D deficiency and osteopenia.
Paltrow discovered in 2011 that her father's family came from a long line of influential East European rabbis, and that inspired her to raise her daughter and son in a Jewish environment.

雲端商機大成長 - 政府策略之分析

IDC：2015年雲端年度產值上看1.1兆美元
微軟( Microsoft Corp .)5日指出，根據研調機構IDC的預估，預期從現在到2015年這段期間全球將新增將近1,400萬個雲端運算相關工作，其中大約有半數是落在中國大陸、印度；預估2015年雲端相關年度銷售額將達到1.1兆美元。
全球雲端產業的興起主要是起因於越來越多消費者擁有諸多裝置(智慧型手機、平板、電腦)。蘋果( Apple Inc. )預計在今年夏季結束前推出的新一代( Mac OS X 10.8 )麥金塔(Mac)作業系統「山獅( Mountain Lion )」是第一個以 iCloud 雲端儲存服務(目前用戶數已超過1億)為設計核心的OS X作業系統。iCloud將與許多Mac內建軟體進行整合。蘋果已在美國奧勒岡州Prineville市購買數據中心用土地，為擴大iCloud用戶數預作準備。

谷歌(Google Inc.)行動暨數位內容資深副總Andy Rubin誓言谷歌將加倍努力確保今年可以在平板市場擊敗對手。微軟主攻平板市場的 Windows 8 作業系統目前也獲得不錯的評價。可以想見的是，今年平板市場的熱度將會是前所未見的。
台股在龍年新春開紅盤後出現連三紅，價量齊揚推升指數站上7500點，也是亞洲主要股市這三天表現最強的市場。昨日雖沒有前兩天激昂表現，但收盤還是上漲32點，以7549點作收，成交量為1455億元。進入新的一年，台股不僅一掃年前選舉不確定陰霾，同時也搭上歐債危機緩和、全球股市回漲的順風車，元月指數上漲6.3％、創2004年以來最大元月漲幅。
而在新內閣拚雲端，雲端概念股也往前衝刺，昨日包括磁碟陣列普安（2495）、喬鼎（3057），伺服器業者神達（2315），光通訊聯鈞（3450）、F-科納（4984），伺服器導軌川湖（2059），伺服器機殼勤誠（8210），系統整合凌群（2453）等，多有3.5％以上的漲幅，摩根JF新興科技基金經理人歐陽渭棠分析，在政策加持下，搭上雲端熱潮之相關類股，將成為熱門投資標的。
摩根JF中小基金經理人陳慧宜表示，儘管景氣對策燈號亮起藍燈，且美股道瓊指數也連四黑，但台股「軋空手」行情延續，日線拉出連三紅，三天大漲315點。昨日雖然成交值略降，但仍維持在1400億元之上，類股間維持良好輪動，使得盤勢呈現高檔震盪，短線雖可能先呈現漲多小幅拉回，若拉回不破7382點，盤勢可望進入7400-7700點的箱型區間，本波反彈氣勢仍可望延續。
外資昨雖小幅賣超3.24億元，但本周以來仍加碼超過200億元，且外資在期貨淨多單已達65億元，仍看好台股後市，資金動能仍有加溫的跡象。
群益店頭市場基金經理人沈萬鈞指出，在外資回流及基本面好轉的搭配下，未來行情可望朝正向發展，建議可布局基期低、反彈力道較強勁的上櫃企業為主。
搬回台灣的這一年多來，我參加了很多「雲端服務」產業發展政策座談。這些活動的立意很好，廣邀產業界來對軟體/網路業的未來發言，建議政府能夠幫什麼忙。但可惜討論常常牛頭不對馬尾，明明要發展「雲端服務」，卻老是把「高科技製造業」的那套邏輯直接拿來套用。
最常討論的就是要政府建設「政府雲」，供服務業者運用，就好像蓋「科學園區」支持製造業一樣。
這真是天大的誤會，首先，「雲」根本不是用「蓋」的。Amazon 的 AWS，全世界最成功的「雲」，2006 年剛開始時根本只有兩三個功能，只有一個機房，「產能」也常常用盡。但這 5 年來他們一路緊貼著網路/軟體產業客戶的需求進步，不斷的更新、擴張、優化，漸漸的才發展成今天上百項功能，橫跨三大洲，世界第一的「雲」。
也就是說雲沒辦法蓋，而是要發展、營運、不斷優化。換句話說，雲不是「製造業」，雲是「服務業」。但以政府目前的採購模式，是沒辦法發展、營運、持續更新、服務一個「雲」的。真的發包出去「建置」了，最後大概也只是搞來一堆「蚊子雲」。
所以要發展「雲端服務」產業之前，政府可能要先把「製造業」的邏輯、架構、腦袋換掉，好好發展一個「服務業文化」，如此，或許才能真的幫助到網路/軟體業的發展。
分析
- 目前成長率沒有想像這麼高，因此雲端仍需要更大之商機來驅動 ；
- 政府必須將台灣通往全世界之海纜架設至成本效率最高；
- 政府必須要有投資優惠在成立網際網路之商務及網際網路之雲端服務，才能使台灣成為亞太最重要之網際網路之雲端服務新創公司設立之總部，有利於世界營運；
