【BBC News, Taipei, By Caroline Gluck, 2008/8/30】
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters in Taiwan have taken part in a protest in Taipei as President Ma Ying-jeou marked his first 100 days in office.
It was the first mass rally against Mr. Ma since his inauguration, and also comes amid increased worries over his pro-China policies and the economy.
The protesters said he was moving too quickly to improve ties with Beijing.
China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, although they have been governed separately since 1949.
Resignation call
This was the first large-scale protest against President Ma since he took office in May.

Opposition supporters protest on the streets in Taiwan.
His critics - mainly pro-independence groups and members of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party - took to the streets in the capital, chanting slogans, and rallied outside the presidential office, calling for him to step down.
They argue that Mr Ma has been too conciliatory towards China and that his policies have damaged the island's sovereignty.
The president was elected by a landslide in March, promising to work for friendlier ties with China and boost the island's economy.
Last month, the two sides launched regular direct flights for the first time in nearly six decades.
President Ma's administration has also relaxed many restrictions on doing business in China, and allowed more Chinese tourists to visit.
The president's office did not comment on the rally, but officials from the governing Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) said the public should not blame the current administration for the island's economic woes but the previous one, which held office for eight years.
They said the public should be protesting against Taiwan's former President, Chen Shui-bian, and his family, who are being investigated over fresh allegations of money laundering involving millions of dollars.

"現代的醫學考証,認為梵谷( Vincent Van Gogh )罹患的是美尼爾症,由他的書信中得知他在日常生活中常受困于耳鳴眩暈。名畫「星月之夜」甚至被耳鼻喉神經耳科醫師解釋為美尼爾氏症發作時,因左耳病變產生的逆時鐘回轉,所以在畫中可見波浪狀旋渦回轉。因為耳鳴、耳閉塞感和聽覺過敏這些困擾更讓他割下左耳送給心愛的妓女,而和另一畫家高更住在一起常常吵架,則更是刺激了眩暈的發作…〞

信義房屋全球佈局 延攬重量級外商精英
【The Liberty Times 2008/08/05】
為加速拓展全球市場,信義房屋董事長周俊吉宣佈集團人事佈局,在集團董事長下,增設集團執行長,延攬前安捷倫科技全球副總裁蘇海出任,同時在既有的總管理處,再增設人資長,挖角前IBM人力資源部副總經理黃慧珠加入,期在重量級外商才人加入後,提昇信義企業集團國際化經營實力。
全球營運鐵三角成形
新任集團執行長蘇海,並兼任台灣區關係事業群、中國區信義事業群主管;黃慧珠除擔任人資長外,也兼任台灣總管理處總經理,未來兩人與現任台灣區核心事業群總經理薛健平,將成為全球營運核心鐵三角。
信義企業集團董事長周俊吉日前在員工月會中正式佈達全新人事佈局,他向員工說,自己在公司服務了27年多,參加月會至少300次,這次月會是心情特別激動的一次,因為信義延攬了兩位來自高科技公司的頂尖優秀人才,加入信義的行列。
周俊吉說,信義房屋曾經獲得包括國家品質獎、最佳雇主到公司治理、最佳管理企業、企業公民等獎項,這些都是信義房屋同仁卓越的表現才能成就,因此,才有條件吸引兩位國際頂尖企業的優秀人才加入。
至於蘇海曾在惠普集團任職達25年,黃慧珠在IBM任職19年,都來自於與信義房屋本土企業截然不同的企業;周俊吉說,信義、惠普或IBM,都擁有同樣的企業價值核心「信任」,我們以信義為名,說「信任,帶來新幸福」;惠普文化談的是信任,IBM談的是尊重人性、尊重個人,對於同仁都採高度透明、開放、信任的態度,兩位新任高階主管也是信任信義的核心價值,願意跨產業來為台灣的服務業盡一份心力。
積極跨足全球的信義房屋,除長期在中國以信義房屋直營體系及科威國際加盟體系雙品牌策略佈局外,去年也宣佈將與日本歐力士集團合作進軍日本市場。周俊吉指出,未來希望透過加速人才的培育,以加速全球化腳步,達到五年內成長至上千家店的目標,在台灣、中國、日本,甚至紐約、舊金山、巴黎等全球主要城巿,都看得看到「信義」。
周俊吉強調,信義一直以來都是先培育人才再拓展,未來的人才培育計劃,除了跨國企業人才培育上的交流外,更將落實五年人才培訓計畫,實踐信義「以人為本」的價值觀,確實培育千名經理人擁有專業服務的知識與技能。另外,還要培養出各事業群的總經理、執行長等高階經營管理人才,將信義企業的服務擴展到全球各大都會。
