Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded coalition forces during the Gulf War, has died, a U.S. official said. He was 78.

After Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Schwarzkopf directed 700,000 coalition troops that engaged in a six-week air assault of Iraqi forces in January 1991. That was followed by a swift ground campaign that pushed the Iraqis out of Kuwait.

Schwarzkopf went to the U.S. Military Academy and graduated in 1956, according to Britannica Online.

He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army. The officer served two tours of duty in Vietnam.

In 1988, Schwarzkopf was appointed commander of U.S. Central Command.

青青世界

周六天气好，原想去世界之窗，但觉得位位¥160太贵，决定改天准备好一点才去。后来夫人在网上看到青青世界，我同意可以走走。光盘龙依旧，人面当然全非也。

跟夫人讲了当年晚上足不出户的故事，她有点不以为然，反觉得我们工作挺好，能住在好地方，哎呀...

玩了2个多小时就走。这里门票¥60，回想对比，世界之窗也不算贵。

回去路上经过红树林，就在深圳湾边上，风景不错，会找时间去。

President Barack Obama said today that Vice President Joe Biden will lead an administration effort to develop recommendations no later than January for preventing another tragedy like last week's school shooting in Connecticut that left 20 young children and six adults dead.

The president said the vast majority of gun owners in America are responsible, but the more than 10,000 Americans killed every year by guns was "violence we cannot accept as routine." "We won't prevent them all, but that can't be an excuse" not to try, the president added.

Xania Wong, who was born in Toronto, Canada, but raised in Hong Kong, started pursuing a career in the wine industry four years ago when the government reduced the duty to zero. Now training to become a master of wine, she has just launched the Wine2Go app that allows wine lovers to search for and buy bottles with their smartphones.

She has also founded the Xantana Wine Society, an organisation that hosts tastings and other wine-related events. With a master's degree in business administration, Wong previously worked as a banker in Canada and a management consultant in Hong Kong. She still does management consulting on a project basis.
 

When did your interest in wine become serious?

I got into wine appreciation in 2001 after drinking Amarone at my birthday dinner. The sommelier suggested this "rich seductive wine with a chocolate flavour and a burned almond finish", a phrase that got me to try the wine. I really liked it.
 

Why pursue the difficult master of wine accreditation, which only about eight candidates pass per year?

One reason is that it's a personal challenge. The other is that I'm passionate about wine. I've visited trade shows, where I've met many winemakers. You see a lot of tradition in winemaking and a lot of passion from the winemakers about what they do. I see them as artists: winemakers produce bottles the way artists paint their passions. It really resonated with me, as it's hard nowadays to find people passionate about what they are doing.
 

What was the reason for developing the Wine2Go app?

The idea came from the many calls from my friends seeking guidance. Prior to going to a wine shop, they'd call for pairing recommendations for a particular occasion. Or at a store, they'd call asking things like: "I see this brand and this brand. Which one do you recommend?" I realised how useful it would be to launch something so they could get this information automatically. That's what sparked this concept. Also, I was in Kowloon one day, looking for a wine shop, but I didn't know where the nearest one was. That's when I thought a location-based system embedded in the app could help people find stores so they can get a bottle for a party or dinner.
 

Christmas is around the corner. What do you usually uncork?

Amarone, since it has sentimental value for me but also because it has such an interesting story. It's made from raisins - grapes that were dried first before they were fermented - a process that results in a rich wine with coffee and chocolate flavours. It's also very sweet. It's a great dessert wine to go with chocolates. It's also a good post-meal wine after a big meaty feast like Christmas dinner.
 

How are wine buying habits evolving in Hong Kong?

It will take more education for Hongkongers to shop using apps, but it's definitely the future. I was in Singapore a few weeks ago to assess the market there, and I found they are more open to ordering or paying for things via apps. For example, they use apps to order taxis; all my friends over there do that. Singaporeans are very open to shopping with apps in general. I hope Hong Kong catches up soon.

【明�新� iPhone App】澳洲DJ玩出人命停� �特�院�士中伏�疚自� 民情激�

澳洲DJ玩出人命停職 凱特醫院護士中伏內疚自殺 民情激憤
2012年12月9日

【明報專訊】澳洲電台兩名DJ的王室電話惡作劇「搞出人命」，負責轉駁電話至病房的女護士懷疑自殺身亡，事件掀起民憤，兩人被轟「滿手鮮血」，電台網頁逾萬個網上留言要求炒掉他們，廣告商亦隨即抽起電台廣告劃清界線。電台已將兩人停職，但總裁強調他們並無犯法，又指沒有人會預見事情會演變至此。威廉及凱特亦對護士自殺身亡表示震驚，但王室則否認曾因私隱外泄而向院方施壓。

電台2DayFM主持人冒充女王及王儲查理斯從護士口中套取凱特情况後3天，負責轉駁電話的46歲女護士薩丹哈（Jacintha Saldanha），被發現身處醫院不遠處一座充當宿舍和行政辦公室的建築內，懷疑自殺身亡；警方指死因無可疑。事件觸發社會各界怒火，澳洲總理吉拉德（Julia Gillard）指事件是「可怕的悲劇」，網民亦猛烈炮轟主持人格雷格（Mel Grieg）及克里斯蒂安（Michael Christian）害了一條人命，「形同誤殺」，在電台的網上留言板上有逾萬留言要求電台辭退兩人，還有人詛咒兩人永遠再找不到工作。兩人的社交網站Twitter被圍攻，被迫關閉。

電台母公司總裁﹕DJ無犯法

事件引起廣泛民憤，各界也急忙與電台劃清界線，澳洲連鎖超市Coles及電訊商Telstra均宣布，立即抽起在該電台的廣告，多家大型企業亦考慮跟隨。電台為了「撲火」，2DayFM所屬的母公司Austereo電台網絡宣布，會自行暫停在2DayFM賣廣告，最少直至周一。事件亦在澳洲醞釀政治風波，外界指摘澳洲當局沒有監管好電台運作，通訊部長康羅伊（Stephen Conroy）承認，當局收到市民大量投訴，但是否作調查須交由獨立監管機構決定。

愛德華七世醫院表示，這家電台的行為觸犯了有關法律，院方將保留追究其責任的權利。不過，電台母公司總裁霍勒倫（Rhys Holleran）仍為兩DJ辯護，指兩人只是合作做節目數星期，「兩人已因事件完全崩潰」，正接受心理輔導。他說，電台已把兩人停職，但同時強調兩人無犯法，也無人可以預見事件會演變至此。霍勒倫又說，這類電台惡作劇電話已經行之有年，不是單一電台的行徑，但他沒有透露節目播出前，是否獲有關護士同意。2DayFM過往曾因節目內容過火，獲當局續牌5年時，要求節目符合「合宜」（decency）標準，事件令外界批評當局監管無方。

威廉凱特震驚 王室否認施壓院方

威廉及凱特對護士自殺身亡表示「震驚及傷心」，形容事件是「悲劇」，王室強調沒有就事件向院方投訴，又稱讚院方的照顧無微不至。王室發言人又稱，在這場電話騙局中，醫院及其醫務人員不應該受到任何指摘。

廣東改革4元老陪同﹕不改革沒好下場
2012年12月9日

【明報專訊】昨日陪同習近平在蓮花山獻花的官員中，有4人是於1992年陪同鄧小平南巡的前廣東省官員，分別是深圳市前市委書記吳南生、李灝、珠海市前市委書記梁廣大、廣州市前政協主席陳開枝，他們4人也是廣東改革開放的元老及見證人，當中有人昨日當面向習近平表示，「不改革開放，誰都沒有好下場」。

習聞言微笑 未有表態

昨晨9點55分，習近平在蓮花山結束向鄧小平像獻花致敬儀式後，與一同的現任官員及4個曾陪同鄧小平南巡的元老和現場民眾交談，當習近平表示「改革開放是共產黨必須堅持的方針」後，其中一名元老接着表示，「不改革開放，誰都沒有好下場」。習近平對此語報以微笑，未有表態。

20年前伴鄧南巡

4名元老不僅20年前曾陪同鄧小平南巡，也多與曾經主政廣東省的習近平之父習仲勛有過交情，並是習仲勛手下的幹將。習仲勛1960年代受整肅後，1978年3月復出，首個實職就是廣東省委第二書記，其後任第一書記；1979年兼任廣東省長，1980年再兼任廣州軍區第一政委，直至同年9月補選為第五屆全國人大副委員長，主政廣東兩年多。

4人與習父俱有交往

在此期間，原籍汕頭的吳南生任廣東省委常委，1979年初受習仲勛重託，負責籌辦廣東省的深圳、珠海、汕頭3個經濟特區，並兼任省特區管理委員會主任，同時兼任建特區後深圳第一任市委書記、市長。1985之年後，吳南生才轉任廣東省政協主席。

至於南海人梁廣大，曾任南海縣委書記、佛山地委常委，1983年後歷任珠海市長、市委書記，主政珠海長達16年，被稱為「珠海王」。廣東雲浮人陳開枝，在習仲勛主政期間，作為省委辦公廳秘書處副處長，曾經直接為習仲勛服務。粵西茂名人李灝雖然是習近平離粵後才調任深圳市長、市委書記，但他長期在國家進出口管委會和國家外國投資管委會任職，參與深圳特區建立的規劃，與習仲勛也多有交往。

今年是鄧小平南巡20周年，《深圳特區報》昨重刊20年前的一篇評論，題目就是《多幹實事》，迎合習近平11月29日提的「空談誤國，實幹興邦」口號，強調特區事業發展要靠實幹，評論中的觀點今天仍不過時。
