Source: Montgomery Advertiser, Ala.儲存Jan. 05---- Jameis Winston was five days from being born, and Nick Marshall was a toddler when Charlie Ward and Tommie Frazier faced each other with a national title on the line.Twenty years ago, Ward led top-ranked Florida State against Frazier's No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 1994 Orange Bowl. The Seminoles won a classic, 18-16, but what Frazier and Ward did that night was inspire the next generation of black quarterbacks to believe they too could play for and win a ring.Since that 1994 title game, Tee Martin, Michael Vick, Vince Young, Troy Smith, Chris Leak, Cam Newton, Jordan Jefferson and Everett Golson have started in national title games.Frazier won back-to-back championships after falling to Ward and Seminoles. Martin (1998 Tennessee), Young (2005 Texas), Leak (2006 Florida) and Newton (2011 Auburn) won it all, too. Leak, who shared time with Tim Tebow, led the Gators past Smith and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2007 title game.Monday will make the fourth straight year a black quarterback has started in the BCS title game. Jefferson (LSU 2012) and Golson (2013 Notre Dame) followed Newton and both lost to Alabama."It's amazing to see where the country has come in putting the best players behind the center," Florida State passing game coordinator Lawrence Dawsey said. "Look at them as players and not the color of their skin."There were black college quarterbacks decades before, but when you see someone who looks like you doing something you want to do, it makes you believe you can do it, too.It's not racial. It's reality. It's no different than Tom Brady wanting to be like Joe Montana.So when the likes of Young, Vick and Newton were making it happen on the biggest stage in college football, Winston and Marshall were watching.Young, who put on the one of the greatest shows in college football history in leading Texas over USC in the Rose Bowl, made Winston want to play for the Longhorns. Young rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns, threw for 267 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left."Texas was my favorite team," Winston said.Marshall looked up to Vick, who ironically lost to Florida State in the 2000 Sugar Bowl. Vick was a one-man show for Virginia Tech as he passed for 237 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 97 yards as a redshirt freshman."I don't remember too much about that game because I was kind of young, but I watched him," Marshall said. "When he came out of Virginia Tech and went to the Atlanta Falcons, the way he handled himself on the field? The things that he did, I tried to put that in my game. We're similar. He's just left handed. I'm right handed. We basically do the same things that I do."Those success stories made coaches realize it could sign a black quarterback build their offense around his strengths whether he's a passer like Winston or a runner with throwing ability like Marshall.Auburn's top three quarterbacks -- Marshall, Jeremy Johnson and Jonathan Wallace -- are black.The irony of Winston and Marshall being in Monday night's game is they were both recruited by a former black quarterback -- Auburn wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig.Craig pl迷你倉yed at Auburn where he set a single-season school record for passing yards with 3,277 in 1997."Those guys have done a great job of leading their teams," Craig said. "Nick was the first quarterback I recruited when I was at Florida State. I recruited Jameis to Florida State."It may be hard for our young generation to believe there was a time people thought African-Americans couldn't play quarterback. Blacks weren't considered smart enough.They couldn't handle pressure and weren't leaders, people said. They had poor throwing mechanics and were better off playing wide receiver, cornerback or running back.Those days are over. Now a player like Winston can have a wobble in his throw and not have that be a reason a coach determine he should play another position."All I know is that he throws the ball where he wants it to go," Florida State quarterback coach Randy Sanders said. "You watch Peyton (Manning), Peyton doesn't throw many spirals, either."Sometimes all of that is overrated. I always tell people there is a difference between being a thrower and a passer. A thrower always throws spirals and it looks pretty. A passer gets completions."The numerous quarterback camps with the 7-on-7 drills change things for the better for the black quarterbacks because they're getting more reps to get better and playing the position year round.Coaches have a great desire to find that special athlete who has the intangibles and skill set to play the position. They're looking for the dual-threat quarterback like Marshall who can take it to the house from 50 yards, scramble and complete passes under pressure, has a cannon arm and can execute the offense.Beyond all of that, black quarterbacks have competed and won championships. Winning precedes everything. When told about the historical ties of him and Marshall to when Ward and Frazier met in Miami, Winston said, "At the end of the day, whoever had the best football team won that game."When looking back at Ward and Frazier, they are eerily similar to Winston and Marshall.Ward came into that 1994 game as the Heisman Trophy winner. He was the thrower with an ability to pick up first downs with his feet. Frazier was considered the running quarterback who executed the option with precision and poise. He wasn't the best passer, but could make tough throws.Winston won the Heisman for Florida State this season. He can make all the throws, but is mobile enough to escape pressure and pick up yards on the ground. Marshall runs the read-option better than anyone in the country and can change the game in a hiccup with arm or legs.Above everything else, the two were winners. Winston and Marshall have proven they are winners, which will motivate the next generation of black quarterbacks to hoist that crystal ball one day.Marshall or Winston will do just that Monday night.(Reach Duane Rankin, an Advertiser sports writer and columnist at dmrankin@gannett.com" alt="" title=""> dmrankin@gannett.com or follow him on Twitter @DuaneRankin).Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Montgomery Advertiser (Montgomery, Ala.)

【特訊】特區政府聲稱建立長效機制，迷你倉但在養老保障角度，政府除了從二零一三年開始四年內向社保基金額外注資三百七十億外，其實看不到有任何可保其持續運作的長效功能。為此立法議員區錦新向行政當局提出書面質詢，質疑其擁有資金的投資保值策略和能力、會否調整社保的供款制度及會否以基金用於興建經濟房屋，讓社保既有高利潤的保證，亦確保經屋有足夠數量的持續供應。質詢內容如下：　『政府從二零一三年乃至二零一四年的施政方針，都聲稱要為本澳社會保障制度訂定長效機制，可是翻來覆去能夠看到的只是自今年起，四年內為社會保障基金額外注資三百七十億。以現時入不敷支的社會保障基金，此種注資方式只是杯水車薪，社保基金還是難免枯竭，完全談不上長效。　記得幾年前，本人曾向當局建議大手撥款入社保基金明確專款專用，並以此大額款項有效營運以扭轉入不敷支的局面。當時社保主席葉炳權在回應時稱，「注資將會動用大量盈餘和儲備，然而政府於基建、醫療、教育、社會服務等各個領域亦需大量資源來支撐，倘若對社保基金作出大額注資，把資源偏重某一方的使用，將不利於社會長期可持續發展。」其實將大額資金注資於某些令澳門可持續發展的項目上，正是本人之意見。眾所週知，當政府收入好，儲備雄厚，官員就會盡力多花錢，建輕軌由幾十億變成百多兩百億，建澳大橫琴校區由六十五億一躍而為一百零一億、起北安碼頭由原來的五億幾變成三十幾億，其實這種瘋狂超支都是情理之外，但意料之中。瘋狂追加當然離譜，但反正公家有的是錢，唔洗就老襯，而且對官員來說，花錢愈多愈顯示其部門的存在價值，況且，錢使mini storage愈多，愈有�數，這樣的事在澳門係人都知。所以將巨額儲備撥出部份指定專款專用，（如撥入社保充實其財政基礎、撥入高等教育基金去協助年青人接受高等教育等等） 減少儲備數目，是對各政府部門大手大腳花錢的一個制約。對此，官僚確有理由反對。但在極度抗拒下，最終還是須分四年較大額（夠不夠大額當然也值商榷）地撥款入社保。問題是社保有否能力好好運用這筆款項來增值，讓它生生不息。又或者有沒有一個較根本性的方式長遠解決問題，以體現真正的長效機制。為此，本人向行政當局提出書面質詢：1.「家有二千，每日二錢，全無生計，用得幾年？」這是老一輩人孩提時代琅琅上口的童謠，時代須久遠，但仍有現實意義。社保基金近年是坐吃山崩，僅靠政府不斷注資以維持。從今年起連續四年，政府計劃額外注資三百七十億於社保基金，行政當局有否計劃如何善用這三百七十億及社保原有儲備以作增值？2.凡投資，都是高利潤自然要冒高風險，所以，投資搏增值也許並不容易。但本澳目前有一行生意是必賺的，就是投資於興建經濟房屋。自從經屋法修訂以後，樓價以所謂申請家團的負擔經濟能力來計算樓價，以如此標準來定樓價，肯定是利錢豐厚。而經濟房屋買家不缺，只要有樓定必貨如輪轉。所以，行政當局有否考慮將社保基金投資於興建經濟房屋，以確保社保有高利潤回報同時，經屋的供應亦可源源不絕，相得益彰？3.從長效機制角度來看，靠額外注資以維持終不是辦法，多年來官民之間亦不斷討論如何整體改革供款制度，例如將現時的低定額供款改而為按收入一定比例來供款，以拉近供與取之間的差距，令社保制度長遠有效？』self storage

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉旺角M.Jan. 04--The University of New Mexico men's basketball team in October donned T-shirts proclaiming this a season of #unfinishedbusiness. Today, as the Lobos open up Mountain West Conference play hosting the Colorado State Rams at 4 p.m. in the Pit after a 12-day hiatus since their final non-conference game, they have another simple message."It's back to business," Williams said. "It's time to go."The Lobos the past two years have been in the business of winning league titles -- both in the regular season and at the MWC tournament. Today, UNM (9-3) begins defense of its league title against the team that was the biggest challenger to the crown a year ago, Larry Eustachy's Rams (9-5, 0-1 MWC).The problem facing the Rams today, however, is the team that finished in second place a season ago isn't the one taking the floor today. CSU lost all five starters from last year's team that finished the regular season in second place and advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament."They probably know more about me than I know about them," said Williams, who scored 46 points and hit 10 3-pointers in Fort Collins in the last meeting between the two teams. "That's something we have to be prepared for."But while the faces opposing the Lobos will be new, UNM isn't expecting much of a change in how the Rams play under second-year coach Larry Eustachy, who landed the CSU job two years ago when UNM's first year coach Craig Neal was a finalist for it."They're going to play hard and they're going to be tough physically," Neal said. "... There's a reason why he's been successful for his career."UNM senior forward Cameron Bairstow said he recalls February's game in Fort Collins, a 91-82 Lobos win thanks to Williams 46 points, as being "the most physical game of the year."He expects more of the same today from post players such as Navy transfer J.J. Avila (6-foot-7, 246 pounds), Gerson Santo (6-9, 238) and Marcus Holt (6-10, 200)."They're still a very physical team. They just have a different set of personnel, really," said Bairstow, UNM's leading scorer at 20.1 points per game. "They're a really skilled basketball team this year. ... Seem to be running a lot more motion (offense) this year and cutting and scremini storagening the four man, which they did a bit for (former Ram Pierce) Hornung, but not as much this year."Avila has been the key for the Rams, leading the team in scoring (19.2 points per game) and assists (2.6). He injured his back at a practice Monday, but played in Wednesday's home loss to No. 21 San Diego State."He's a different dimension they haven't had," Neal said. "He's pretty good. I think he's been outstanding."Junior Daniel Bejarano, who is the top rebounding guard in the league at 9.5 per game despite being just 6-4, is the other key for the Rams after earning Sixth-man-of-the-Year honors in the league a season ago.The return from a wrist injury of UNM point guard Hugh Greenwood, also one of the league's top rebounding guards, could be a factor in trying to keep Bejarano from doing damage on the offensive glass, though junior Deshawn Delaney will likely have the defensive matchup more than will the ailing Aussie. Greenwood missed the past three games for the Lobos and played in two prior to that with the injury suffered Dec. 4 against New Mexico State.RAM TOUGH: CSU isn't exactly feeling sorry for the Lobos as they work their way through the Greenwood wrist injury situation.CSU likely will play without reserve guard Dwight Smith today, a 6-4 junior who hurt a knee in Wednesday's loss to No. 21 San Diego State after missing 10 games earlier this season with a broken hand.While Avila played Wednesday with that sprained back, he's still not 100 percent.And remember, this is a Rams team that in October lost starting point guard Jesse Carr to a torn ACL after he missed all of last season with a torn ACL.TOUGH TICKET: As of Friday afternoon, the lower bowl of the Pit was sold out for today's game and only 11 club-level tickets remained, which can be purchased at the UNM ticket office prior to tip-off. Should those 11 tickets be sold, UNM will extend to four its conference home sellout streak dating to the final three league games of the 2012-13 season.

Source: The Palm Beach Post, Fla.24小時迷你倉Jan. 04--There it was, just behind New York City for Broadway and Chicago for Michigan Avenue: West Palm Beach's Antique Row netted the area No. 4 on Conde Nast's list of Best Cities for Shopping in the U.S.To be accurate, Palm Beach was the tony location that made the list. And Worth Avenue was clearly the top draw for the 80,000 people who voted in the survey. But Conde Nast's Traveler website explained that West Palm Beach's Antique Row Art and Design District helped bring in those on a budget and those ready to splurge."Simply put, there is 'something for everyone,' " the article touts.The top cities were New York City, Chicago and San Francisco, with Newport Beach, Calif., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Charleston, S.C., Honolulu and Boston rounding out the Top 10.Discover Palm Beach County, the county's tourism marketing agency that spends about $9 million in bed tax dollars each year to lure more visitors, knows shopping is a draw.The agency put out a shopping visitor's guide recently, an accordion-style brochure that maps the shopping opportunities throughout the county.Discover CEO and President Jorge Pesquera says retail tourism is growing in South Florida, and the county wants to capitalize. If you've been to Sawgrass Mills and seen the international tourists buying luggage sets to haul home all their loot, you understand why Palm Beach County wants a piece of that business.What's not on the shopping guide map, but seems sure to help the cause: Palm Beach Outlets on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in West Palm Beach.It opens Feb. 14 with about 100 outlet stores, and the remaining power strip will open in the fall. Ultimately planned for close to 1.5 million square feet, the shopping center will be half the size of Sawgrass. But it will help the area in its retail tourism efforts. City leaders already have mentioned a shuttle service from the convention center to the outlet mall.Front-row seatsWhile the convention center hotel construction won't get under way until February, according to tourism leaders, it reportedly is getting plenty of attention in the industry.And those industry people will get a first-hand look at the location this month, as the Florida Huddle meets at the convention center Jan. 14-16.This is the second of three major events for travel planners and tourism leaders being held in Palm Beach County over a 10-month stretch. Each also includes official Visit Florida meetings, extending the exposure of the county.Last month, about 100 event planners attended Florida Encounter at the PGA National Resort & Spa. They met with representatives of the state's destinations, convention centers and attractions to determine where they will book group travel.Huddle will be held at the convention center with at least 200 attendees. It's a chance to sell the new convention center and hotel combo by pointing out the area's offerings first-hand.And in September, influential tourism leaders will gather for the Governor's Conference on Tourism at the Boca Resort.Discover Palm Beach County has plans to start aggressive marketing of the convention center and adjoining hotel this year, but is waiting on approval of specia迷你倉旺角 stimulus funds.The Tourist Development Council held out $2 million scraped from a capital projects fund -- receipts have been coming in so strong there's extra money -- and asked for project submissions.Those projects likely would have been approved in January and passed along to the county commission, but the TDC board canceled that meeting due to a conflict. The money will be further delayed. Discover has asked for $350,000 this year in stimulus funds for that effort, but likely will get $250,000.Tourist diversionsMaybe you didn't make it to the Boca Raton Resort this year for the pink ice skating rink, or see the Delray Beach Marriott's Sanda Claus sculpture. But thousands of tourists did.In fact, KAYAK.com reported in mid-December that West Palm Beach was the second highest trending destination for both Christmas and New Year's Eve. One in five people checking out New Year's travel plans looked into West Palm Beach. Needless to say, the airlines have hiked fares 15 percent from last year, KAYAK.com stated.Our hotels have been ready for them.Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort rolled out all the stops for visitors far from home, offering special Christmas packages of a completely decorated tree and stockings. General Manager Roger Amidon said the hotel delivered candy canes on Christmas Eve and ferried in Santa via banana boat on Christmas morning.At Delray Beach Marriott, the 10,000-pound Sanda Claus will stay up until Jan. 6. The sand sculpture was created by Treasure Island's Sanding Ovations and shows Santa and his sleigh pulled by sea turtles.And Boca Raton Resort unveiled a pink-ice skating rink that was slated to be open through New Year's Day for guests. The 85-by-40-foot rink of real ice is a salute to the classic pink landmark.Of course those who want to better enjoy the 80-degree temps we've had can try out the new Surf School.Arrivals and DeparturesOver the next six months, Palm Beach International Airport should be up 3.5 percent in numbers of seats, Finance Director Mike Simmons said.But the airport had been running slightly behind 2011 because Southwest Airlines discontinued its Tampa and Tallahassee service earlier in 2012. Silver Airways replaced the service, but its planes fly 38 people, versus Southwest's at 150 each flight.New service to L.A., Orlando and two Bahamas destinations will help.And Simmons said the airport expects Southwest to add seasonal service to Providence, R.I., and Pittsburgh again this year.Planes have been loaded for months -- 85 percent for the 12 months ending in October. That should inspire airlines to add flights, Simmons said.PBIA artist receptionEver wondered about the artwork displayed at PBIA?The exhibit on the Level 2 of the Main Terminal changes on a regular basis, and the current slate of 20 artists was selected from 90 applications and represents the county from north to south.Find out how they came up with their ideas at a reception from 5:30-7 p.m., Jan. 15.

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉M.Jan. 04--OVER ITS LIFETIME -- it was introduced in 2007 -- the Jeep Patriot has endured putdowns and pummelings from automotive media that would have sent most vehicles into early retirement.Spawned from the late, unlamented Dodge Caliber compact, the Patriot was seen as a pseudo-Jeep, more of a poseur than a true descendant of an iconic line of off-road warriors.But Chrysler, it seems, has persevered, still seeing value in having it in its Jeep lineup. Not only that, but through continuous improvements the Patriot, in its final year in this form, has morphed into a much better vehicle than when it began life.For 2014, the biggest news is the availability of a modern, six-speed automatic transmission which largely replaces the droning, unresponsive continuously variable automatic transmission that was the source of so many negative comments in previous years.It's a decently smooth transmission, which markedly improves the little Jeep's acceleration and over-the-road performance. The new autobox makes the most of the up-level 2.4-liter four-cylinder's 172 horsepower.An upgraded CVT is the only tranny offered with the optional Freedom-Drive II Group, a must for serious off-road types with its more hard-core, low-range four-wheel-drive system, hill descent control, butch all-terrain tires (and a full-size spare), additional tow hooks, and skid plateself storage to protect the drivetrain's more exposed parts.Our tester came with the Freedom Drive I all-time, all-wheel-drive system. Biased more toward street/highway use and light trail work, it features a locking center coupling to increase grip in low-traction conditions such as deep snow.The Patriot's narrow cabin is Jeep-simple, will well-placed controls. Cloth-swathed front buckets are a bit shy on bolstering, but comfortable enough. Interior materials are still on the plasticky side, but definitely a step or two above earlier versions.The little SUV handles quite nicely, with direct steering and a well-damped highway ride. Brakes are firm and linear.The overall impression of the Patriot is one of solidity and ruggedness.

Source: The Baltimore SunJan.迷你倉旺角 04--It has been 30 years since Dr. Robert Gallo became internationally famous for his role in the discovery of the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome. He has wrestled with the question of a cure countless times since then. But only within the last year, he says, did he conclude that working toward a "functional cure" makes the most sense.AIDS has killed more than 36 million people around the world since the early 1980s. A similar number of people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that Gallo and French scientists co-discovered. Treatments, including some developed by Gallo, have improved; HIV-infected people in North America can live into their 60s, even 70s.But a full cure remains elusive."I've been off and on about [a cure] almost constantly since therapy became available," says Gallo, the director of the Institute of Human Virology that he co-founded at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1996. "You think about it. You put pen to paper, and I've had several meetings with select scientists in our institute where it's talked about."And then, I guess, within the last year, I said, 'We've got to get realistic.' Functional cure, I believe, is definitely achievable."Because he gets the question all the time, Gallo carefully makes the distinction between a cure and a functional cure."If you say to me a virological cure -- no virus left, no viral gene left in the body -- this is extremely difficult. There are two reported cases in the world right now and, honestly, it's not even possible to conclude in those cases, although it's likely."We have seen, for example, in animals where we think there is no more virus, and then in a postmortem you find some viral genes and some virus particles in the lymph nodes, in the gastrointestinal tract. ... So if you say to me, in the next 10 years, do I see a common approach for a total virus cure, so that there's no more virus, absolutely none left -- and we strongly believe that -- and it's available for the world, I would say I don't think that is going to happen. ..."Now how about functional cure, where the person lives a completely normal life span? Even in the best-treated people today there's some evidence for an increased incidence of some cancers like lymphoma. Let's say we get rid of all those increased frequencies. And [patients] don't ever have to take the medicine again. Is that achievable? And the answer to that is: I think so. If you say, 'Put a date on it,' I can't. But you can see rmini storageal possibilities because some of the drugs available now, and some that are just coming out, are truly, amazingly more efficient."Gallo says antiretroviral therapies, combined with other approaches emerging in HIV research centers around the world, can provide the functional cure for AIDS. In such a cure, he says, HIV is "really totally suppressed" and an infected person no longer needs therapy.That's achievable, Gallo says."You know," he laughs, "you only have one life to live for your country, and you've got to put your time and effort where you think you can make a difference, and I think this is the way to go."Gallo is 76. If he were younger and funds for research were available, he might plug away at achieving the cure. "If you're 25 or 30 instead of my age and that's what you want to work on, I don't discourage it," Gallo says. "But I don't think it's going to come in any near future."Ironically, that young researcher Gallo imagines might not even exist. It's one of his big concerns -- a lack of successors to the medical scientists of his generation, those who arrived at the National Institutes of Health in the mid-1960s to conduct important research with the full backing of the U.S. government. Few medical students at Maryland now seem interested in studying viruses, he says."I don't see the same awe many of us [at NIH] had when we said, 'My God, we're able to ask questions related to solving problems of human life.' I think that has definitely declined. I have a particular concern about medical virologists -- people who are expert in viruses, young people coming into the field. That's definitely on the decline globally."That's one of the reasons Gallo helped establish the Global Virus Network in 2011 -- to promote international cooperation among virologists, rapid response to new or emerging viruses and the training of the next generation.Given the deadly potentialities, there's no room for a lapse in expertise anywhere on the planet. But too often, Gallo says, humans have forgotten the lessons of the past. He eagerly recites a history of outbreaks suggesting that our collective memory span -- and commitment to unbroken vigilance -- is only about 30 years.That's not long enough, Gallo says, so he stays on the job, with no plans for retirement.drodricks@baltsun.comDan Rodricks' column appears each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Source: Daily News, Los AngelesJan.存倉 04--One hundred years ago, filmmakers tired of paying Thomas Edison patent fees for his cameras ran away from parts east to the little hamlet of Hollywood, California.There they built a mighty industry that pumped out hundreds of movies each year and, later, thousands of television shows that have captured the world's imagination.Now, they're running away from here.Primarily due to production tax incentives offered in 41 other states and numerous foreign territories, fewer and fewer shows are being shot in Southern California. States with rich credits such as Georgia, Louisiana and New York have increasingly been siphoning work from our once-dominant region since the turn of the new century.The number of production jobs in California decreased by about 4,500 between 2005 and 2012, according to Kevin Klowden, director and managing economist at the Milken Institute's California Center. Based on the industry's overall growth rate, California should have added 7,900 jobs in that period -- marking an actual total loss of about 12,400 positions. The state had an average of 115,000 total production jobs over that period.Planning to shoot out of state has become the new normal for studios and producers, and the situation has accelerated in the past five years as competition for production widens throughout the world."Investment tax credits and cash rebates are wholly driving the fiscal production direction of our industry," said Louis Friedman, line producer for the Afghanistan-set war movie "Lone Survivor." "It's the single most important financial decision made in the earliest preparation of bringing a script to life. It wholly affects both the creative look and financial bottom line from day one," Friedman said.That film saved $4.5 million on its nearly $40 million budget by shooting in New Mexico, which offers tax credits of 25 percent to 30 percent. That's more than it would have saved with California's incentives -- if it qualified at all under California's lottery system, a risk many producers don't want to take."It's become a very competitive market and, yes, production incentive is definitely part of the equation now when we're making location decisions," explained MaryAnn Hughes, vice president of film and television production planning for Walt Disney Studios. "Honestly, I don't think that there is a production where we don't at least look at the locations where they have viable production incentives."One recent startling example: In December, James Cameron announced that he will shoot three "Avatar" sequels in New Zealand (substantial portions of the original were made in El Segundo and Playa Vista). At the same time, the Wellington government instituted new regulations that could earn the productions 25 percent rebates on at least $431 million that is expected to be spent there instead of here.With up to 30 percent, uncapped refundable tax credits for in-state production spending, Georgia and Louisiana have lured major motion pictures such as "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," several "Twilight" sequels, "Django Unchained," "Flight" and many more in recent years. New York, which can also return upwards of 30 percent to productions, has a $420 million annual cap on tax credits.Compare that to what California has offered since 2009: a tax credit of 20 percent, or 25 percent for independent films and relocating TV series, capped at $100 million per year.The Empire State's relative largesse was undoubtedly a factor in bringing "The Tonight Show," which has broadcast from Burbank since 1972, back to Manhattan when Jimmy Fallon takes over from Jay Leno this year."A show as iconic as 'The Tonight Show' leaving L.A. isn't so much an economic blow as it is a blow to the city's ego and its pride," Klowden said in an interview when the move was announced in March 2013. "And it shows a lot of people that L.A. is not as necessary in the entertainment industry as we used to be."New York is a bigger factor in a more troubling metric."In 2005, there were only seven one-hour television series shot on location in New York," Vans Stevenson, the Motion Picture Association of America's senior vice president for state government affairs, pointed out. "Today, there are 19."California's market share of one-hour network series -- the highest-spending and most steadily employing sector of the TV business, which doesn't qualify for the state's incentive -- shrunk from 65 percent in 2005 to just 36 percent in 2012. Things look significantly worse for SoCal regarding the nine-figure budget blockbuster movies that generate hundreds of jobs.Of the 26 highest-budgeted studio tent-pole films made in 2012-2013, only six were partly filmed in California and just one, "Star Trek Into Darkness," entirely so, according to Stevenson from the MPAA, the lobbying and trade organization for the six major studios.A feature can't cost more than $75 million if it wants to even apply for California tax credits. Many other types of productions such as commercials, sporting events, music videos, porn, animation, reality programs, documentaries and most half-hour television shows are not eligible for California's program.Seeking solutionsNone of this has escaped local politicians' attention.Seeking to curb runaway production, some Sacramento lawmakers will push this year to expand California's $100 million annual tax credit program. Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra, D-Arleta, wants to make the annual program "substantially bigger" than its current cap, he said in an interview.While Bocanegra hasn't said how big California's annual pot should be, he introduced legislation to expand the program last year and said that he will reintroduce the bill this year. Other lawmakers, like Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Burbank, want to look at including premium cable shows, like HBO programs, hourlong network dramas and big budget films, in California's tax incentive program.Los Angeles儲存Mayor Eric Garcetti came into office last summer pledging to do something about runaway production. He appointed a film czar for the city, former studio executive and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak, to help persuade Sacramento politicians to increase and expand California's incentives and show his colleagues in the industry that shooting near their Burbank offices and Beverly Hills homes is worth it."We have been beaten down in the past," Sherak said of efforts to improve California's tax credit program. "We have heard, 'No, this is just for the fat cats.' Bottom line is, the people we are trying to help are not fat cats, whose jobs aren't going to change by going somewhere else. It's taking care of the people here that concerns us."Some argue, of course, that production tax credits are, well, wrong."Compared to all the businesses that are leaving (the state), Hollywood is an insignificant entity," argues Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "Keep in mind: These people in Hollywood, they're excellent at public relations. They're going to use the small worker as a human shield, saying 'Look! We've got 50,000 people here, their jobs are in jeopardy!' Well, it's not the state of California that's putting their jobs in jeopardy. It's the studio heads who are basically using this as an opportunity to shake down the politicians. And the politicians, they're easy. They like to have celebrities come to their fundraisers or donate to their campaigns."It's apparent that the production flight has caused havoc among the vast production crew and vendor communities that have thrived in Southern California for most of the last century."We're approximately 25 percent unemployed now, and we are right in the peak of what is traditionally television season," said Ed Brown, business agent for North Hollywood-based Local 44 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the union which represents property craft workers (set decorators, prop makers, construction coordinators, etc.)."I would speak about feature season, but there is no real feature production going on throughout the state of California to speak of," continued Brown, who noted that from 2010 to 2012, Local 44 lost about 1 million contribution hours for health benefits due to underemployment, members moving out of state for steadier work or seeking new careers. "There are some low-budget projects that are being produced, but they create a lesser number of jobs. And the applicable contract applies to the budget of the production. Network television shows pay a higher wage than a lower-budget production, be it either a cable television show or a low-budget feature."Any rank-and-filers from California thinking of heading Down Under for the big "Avatar" shoots had better think again. Although Cameron is declaring himself a resident Kiwi, Film New Zealand, the country's film commission, likes touting the fact that most local production workers are independent contractors, and there are no union fringe benefits nor payroll taxes charged for local labor.Exodus of expertiseThat noted, an exodus of expertise and infrastructure from Southern California is underway."In the last five years, we have created small LLC companies in New York, Massachusetts, Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico and London," said Gregg Bilson, whose Sunland-based Independent Studios Services has supplied props, weapons, graphics and more to the industry since 1977. "In that span, a full 50 percent of all of our revenues now come from these small entities outside of California.""There are friends of mine who have had to sell their houses and move to Atlanta or New Orleans," observed Tim Hillman, a location manager who recently came off a seven-year run on "CSI: NY" (shot out here) and who is now working on the upcoming sitcom "Growing Up Fisher" -- with a team less than half the size of what he's been used to."I am fortunate enough to have people that know me who like to work with me, so they'll call me to see if I'm around," Hillman acknowledged. "That's worked out pretty well for me, but the time between phone calls has gotten a lot longer and the frequency of the phone calls has been a lot less. There are people who aren't as established as me whose phones don't ring for months."So they leave for busier climes."As the state has waited to get into the competition, we now have other centers that are also drawing away our vendors and crew," observed Paul Audley, president of the nonprofit location permit facilitator FilmL.A. "Now, in addition to the money, those places are becoming close to equal on infrastructure that's available."Producers and analysts agree that anything that can be done to make L.A. more production-friendly -- lower or waived fees (like the City Council recently passed for television pilots), easier permitting, more welcoming merchants and neighborhoods -- is welcome. But they also insist that more competitive and stable state incentives, rather than ones that go up for legislative debate every year or two, are the key to keeping shows here."The incentive itself is not complete, there's more it could do," Milken's Klowden said. "Network television is not included, big-budget movies are not included, and they both should be.""It's fair to say, all things remaining equal, we would like to be able to keep our productions in California," said Disney's Hughes, who acknowledged studio supervision and crew/infrastructure base remain superior here.The company's current release, "Saving Mr. Banks," was one of the few major studio features made almost entirely in Southern California. It was also one of the few that qualified for the state's tax credit.Staff Writer Dakota Smith contributed to this report.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Daily News (Los Angeles) Visit the Daily News (Los Angeles) at .dailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
