大理 一场风花雪月的温柔

如果要选一座城市隐居,那么位于彩云之南的大理真是再合适不过了。清新的空气,碧蓝的洱海,悠闲的市民,来到大理才知道,原来时间真的会慢下来。大理古城简称叶榆,又称紫城,其漫长的历史可追溯至唐天宝年间。现存的大理古城是明洪武十五年(公元1382年)修葺而成,站在高二丈五尺、厚二丈的城墙上俯瞰方圆十二里的古城,只见颇具白族特色的民居飞檐相连,一     

追赶秋色的人们

斗转星移,四季更替,万物生长,生命轮回,大自然按照亘古不变的规律行走,世间就有了阴睛雨雪,花开花落就变得色彩纷呈,不拘一格。四季里,秋该是最为丰富、最为生动的了。春华秋实,且不说秋的硕果、秋的奉献,单单那秋的色彩就足够令人眩目、令人迷恋。这个季节里,赏秋是人们的一大乐事,更让摄影人驱动脚步,滿世界去捕捉那斑斓的秋色。     

梦里桃源

桃源今安在 武陵酉阳州自重庆市区出发,驱车7小时,行程460余里,一路风尘,入酉阳县境。在距县城约500米处,即逢桃源美景。如若在雨湿的四月,芳草鲜美,桃花灼灼,风过枝摇,落英缤纷。时光在这一刹那停顿并倒流,将人们带回陶渊明笔下的世外桃源：“晋太原中,武陵人捕鱼为业,缘溪行,忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林,夹岸数百步……”     

Tax reform: Chasing the elusive dream

The paper provides a bird's-eye view of the long and arduous task of reforming the federal individual income tax. As a starting point for reviewing the major reforms, the authors evaluate Secretary Simon's criteria that underlie his contention that the tax system was badly in need of a thorough overhaul. Principles that should guide tax reforms are spelled out. Conflicts that arise with the application of these principles are highlighted. An examination of reform efforts in light of the principles and criteria set in the Treasury Department's Blue Prints for Tax Reform forms the basis for evaluating reforms enacted over the period 1978–2001. The review suggests that we are partway towards achieving the tax man's dream of equity, efficiency, and simplicity.The task of comprehensive reform is monumental in its dimension and far reaching in itspotential impact on our economic well-being.[William E. Simon, 1977, p. 11]     

左手太阳,右手月亮

试驾英菲尼迪Q50S一种云端的感觉这是一种奇妙的感觉,因为你的双手再也察觉不到细微的路面振动,就如同盘坐云端,而身下这台5秒就能过百的速度机器,仍然对你唯命是从.这样的感觉非常不真实,就像用惯了带按键的传统手机,一下子换上了iPhone,原先直接的触感渐渐地模糊了.这就是我对英菲尼迪Q50的第一印象.96种驾驭模式全体验近半年左右的时间里,随着“爸爸去哪儿”及“敢·爱”这类大型品牌秀,英菲尼迪又再次重拳出击,而这台Q50也算是重塑品牌后的第一个作品.这个产品的好坏将直接影响到今年年底国产后的销量,所以有备而来的英菲尼迪Q50还是让我在试完之后,有很多话想说.

Chasing Success: Health Sector Aid and Mortality

As many cases studies show, successful public health measures are being implemented in many places around the globe, and country-level mortality has fallen significantly in recent decades in all but a few countries. Are the two linked? Does development assistance for health (DAH) improve, on balance, recipient countries’ mortality trajectory? Using a new data source containing DAH on 96 high mortality countries, the regression analysis shows no effect of DAH on mortality. Other types of aid, including water development, also have no effect. Economic growth, on the other hand, has a strong negative effect on mortality. These findings confirm and build upon recent work by Williamson (2008) and are shown to be robust to a variety of sensitivity analyses and alternative model specifications and estimation methods.This analysis also shows that the effectiveness of DAH has not increased over time, even as the level of that funding has increased fourfold, though spending on infectious diseases and family planning may have caused small reductions in mortality. Furthermore, even though it is encouraging that DAH has tended to go where the need is highest, it also goes to states that have experienced the greatest mortality reductions in the recent past. In other words, DAH appears to be following success, rather than causing it.     

小家梦

前一阵子,我在三峡库区巫山县出差。一个偶然的机会,让我认识了那里一对修鞋摊的残疾人夫妻,他们善良为人,乐观对事,勤劳生活,心有梦想,让我感慨并记住了他们。每天清晨,在巫山县城的中心广场边,总能看到一对身材矮小的夫妻早早来到这里,摆好摊位,做好迎接顾客的准备。
