November 30 InterestingPanda bites student who wanted a hug A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug, a park employee said Saturday. The student was visiting Qixing Park with classmates on Friday when he jumped the 6.5-foot (2-meter) -high fence around the panda's habitat, said the park employee, who refused to give his name. The park in Guilin, a popular tourist town in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, houses a small zoo and a panda exhibit. It was virtually deserted when the student scaled the fence surrounding the panda, named Yang Yang, the employee said. He said the student was bitten in the arms and legs. Two foreign visitors who saw the attack ran to get help from workers at a nearby refreshment stand, who notified park officials, the employee said. The student was pale as he was taken away by medics but appeared clear-headed, he said. "Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn't expect he would attack," the 20-year-old student, surnamed Liu, said in a local hospital, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Liu underwent surgery Friday evening and was out of danger, but will remain in the hospital for several days, Xinhua said. Yang Yang, who was flown to Guilin last year from Sichuan province, was behaving normally on Saturday and did not seem to suffer any negative psychological effects, the park employee said. He said it was not clear whether the facility would add more signs around the enclosure or put more fences up. "We cannot make it like a prison. We already have signs up warning people not to climb in," he said. "There are no fences along roads but people know not to cross if there are cars. This is basic knowledge." Pandas, which generally have a public image as cute, gentle creatures, are nonetheless wild animals that can be violent when provoked or startled. Last year, a panda at the Beijing Zoo attacked a teenager, ripping chunks out of his legs, when he jumped a barrier while the bear was being fed. The same panda was in the news in 2006 when he bit a drunk tourist who broke into his enclosure and tried to hug him while he was asleep.The tourist retaliated by biting the bear in the back.

《撞开那扇门》系列写我这一年多来乱读美国移民故事的感受,题目仿鲍勃迪伦名曲《叩击天堂之门》,同时也是美国经济学界当代移民研究模型的奠基者乔治.博尔哈斯(George.Borjas)2001年的著作名字《天堂之门:移民政策与美国经济》。 ==============================
撞开那扇门(二):容闳的梦和黄遵宪的诗
11
所有在外留学的中国学子,都不应该忘记容闳(Yung Wing)这个名字,这个几乎只手创造了“幼童留美”奇迹的人,这个只手拉开了华人百年留美大幕的人。1854年,他从耶鲁毕业,其时他已经在该大学连续 两年拿到英语作文的第一名。他写道:“大学四年来,尤其是临近毕业这一年,中国的惨状时时浮现在我眼前,沉重不堪。。。。我坚信中国的新一代应该如我一般 享有良好的教育;‘西学’或可给中国新生,启迪民智,重整国威。这已是我一生事业所系。” (看看这位“旧概念作文”冠军的原文:"All through my college course, especially in the closing year, the lamentable condition of China was before my mind constantly and weighed on my spirits。... I was determined that the rising generation of China should enjoy the same educational advantages that I had enjoyed; that through western education China might be regenerated, become enlightened and powerful. To accomplish that object became the guiding star of my ambition.") 1870年,他终于说动曾国藩上书,奏请朝廷派遣子弟出洋学习。十年后远在日本的黄遵宪用这件事开始了他的长诗《罢美国留学生感赋》,该赋开篇回忆 了汉唐盛世,各国来朝,想当年各国蛮夷只有来我国留学的份儿,所谓“各遣子弟来,来拜国子师”。随后笔锋一转,写道如今风水轮流转,强敌环伺,国势日渐不 支,科举之下都是酒囊饭袋之辈,不足扶大厦于将倾,“欲为树人计,所当师四夷”。 (当年游北京国子监,逢科举历史展。印象中最后一届的科举考试有命题论文曰“项羽拿破仑论”,有学子奋笔疾书,大意:项羽霸王盖世,有万夫不当之男,如今拿一破轮,实乃大材小用云云) 当年的留美可不像今天这般荣光,那是流放加要命的活,海上漂泊三数月,远离故土生死未卜前途难测,高官富贾子弟哪个会去?所以在一开始的招生就遇到 了大麻烦。于是黄感叹道:“茫茫西半球,远隔天之涯,千金不垂堂,谁敢狎蛟螭?惟有小家子,重利轻别离,纥干山头雀,短喙日啼饥,但图飞去乐,不复问所 之。” 所以“留学”这件事从一开始就带上了“自我选择”的烙印:一个人自然选择离去,那他对故土的牵挂必然少一些,所以后来不回去也没什么好奇怪的。就像今天进城打工的农村子弟,谁没有怀揣一点梦想,哪个又想回去? 朝廷在内地找不到人,就只能转向沿海。所以第一批留美幼童的30人中,25人来自广东。当时容闳的宣传口号只有一个:学成归来,必能成为朝廷命官。 如今出外留学,家长要负责提供足够的财产证明;而在当年,家长所用做的,是签下一张“生死状”。比如詹天佑的老爷子就要签字画押道:“倘有疾病生死,各安 天命。”最终,这批孩童集结上海,朝廷在那里设立预备学堂,抓紧最后的时间进行“洗脑” -- 大讲四书五经也。 1872年,孩子们抵达康涅狄格州的哈特福德,受到容闳先一步为他们安排好的美国借宿家庭的热烈欢迎。那些拥抱,亲吻,对这些害羞的梳着辫子的小男 生们造成的心理冲击可想而知。但是孩子终究是孩子,他们迅速地开始融入美国生活。就算每年夏天他们仍然要聚在一起学习四书五经,并朝着北京紫禁城的方向行 礼,也仍然不能阻挡他们变成“洋鬼子”。黄于是说:“乡愚少所见,见异辄意移。家书说贫穷,问子今何居。我今膳双鸡,谁记炊扊扅。汝言盎无粮,何不食肉 糜?客问故乡事,欲答颜忸怩。嬉戏替戾冈,游䜩贺跋支,互谈伊优亚,独歌妃呼豨,吴言与越语,病忘反不知。亦有习祆教,相率拜天祠,口嚼天父饼,手繙《景 教碑》。楼台法界住,香华美人贻。此间国极乐,乐不故蜀思。” 我相信黄遵宪这段话只是讽刺某些朝廷人士的歪曲之词,实际上当年那些幼童大多学业优良,高中毕业后,9人进了耶鲁,其他去了哈佛,MIT,布朗等大学。 但这种忘记祖宗堕落变质甚至信奉异教的举动自然引起了朝廷的极大不满。1875年,新一届驻美公使吴嘉善到任,此人乃著名的保守派,一切均已“天朝 上国”为准,自然与容闳不合。尤其在召见这些留学生时,这些小子尽然不行跪拜礼,吴大人自然怒不可遏。黄遵宪接着描写当时情景:“新来吴监督,其僚喜官 威,谓此泛驾马,衔勒万能骑。徵集诸生来,不拜即鞭笞。弱者呼謈痛,强者反唇稽。汝辈狼野心,不如鼠有皮。谁甘畜生骂,公然老拳挥。监督愤上书,溢以加罪 辞,诸生尽佻达,所业徒荒嬉,学成供蛮奴,否则仍汉痴,国家糜金钱,养此将何为?” 就是这一道学生“腹少儒书,德行未坚,。。。实易沾其恶习”的奏折,埋下了朝廷死令召回这些幼童的伏笔。而这“蛮奴”和“汉痴”的标记,在之后的一 百多年里也就一直打在留学生的头上。之后种种,如“资产阶级走狗”,“卖国贼”,“假洋鬼子”,“不懂中国国情”等等,无非都是“蛮奴”和“汉痴”的不同 组合罢了。 这奏折之后一系列的外交风波,加上美国民间对在美二十几万华工的敌视和不断冲突,最终导致了1882年的《排华法案》,连容闳的美国国籍都遭剥夺, 而黄遵宪也就此写下名作《逐客篇》,感慨世界之大,龙子龙孙竟然无处栖身?!所谓“倒顷四海水,此耻难洗濯。他邦互效尤,无地容飘泊。远步想章亥,近功陋 卫霍。芒芒问禹迹,何时版图廓?” 到底美国为何排华?这些幼童的命运如何?容闳的百年大计又是如何收场?“新闻联播”之后,我们马上回来。:)
撞开那扇门(三):苦力?妓女?百年的恐惧

上文说到1872年第一批清廷小留学生到达美国,而之前的鸦片战争,太平天国,以及清廷1868年取消中国人出境的《蒲安臣条约》,早已驱使大批中国劳工进入美国。有数据称,在1849到1882年之间,已有28,8000中国人进入美国。 可 就在小留学生进入美国的三年后,1875年美国单方面通过《佩奇法》(the Page Law),禁止中国妇女入境,原因是他们认为她们都是妓女。1882年更是单方面通过《排华法案》,遣返在美华工,并禁止华工入境。所谓“单方面”是比较 而言,虽然当年日本妇女在美国的妓女比例并不比华人妇女低,而日本劳工“抢占”的美国工作机会也不比华工少多少,但所谓“弱国无外交”,美国与日本处理这 争端的手段是“好说好商量”的1907年的所谓《君子协定》,而不是一杆子全部驱逐。在解释这两部法案之前,可能有读者要问:“这些都是历史旧事,早如过 眼云烟,哪里来的什么‘百年恐惧’?耸人听闻罢了。” 其实就如中国百年前的历史今天还在影响中国当代人一样,百年前投下的被驱逐的阴影在美国华人圈中一直没有散尽,更何况这《排华法案》直到1943年才被废止。客居他乡寄人篱下的不安全感,今天依然。 让我先讲一件1996年发生在加州的旧事。 以 前在国内听过很多中国移民的奇闻轶事,其中一大类便是移民过去之后“吃政府救济”,所谓砸锅卖铁也无所谓,反正过去总饿不死,政府是要发放福利金的嘛。这 种由于福利丰厚所产生的“磁石”效应,也就是吸引了大批来美国专吃救济的移民,让美国政府头疼不已。而移民群体这救济也是吃的坦然,不吃白不吃嘛。 1996年以前,移民家庭中吃救济的比例已远远高于美国本地人吃救济的比例。 读者可能要问:“这救济嘛,救急罢了,那还真能成为 生活来源?”虽然相比其他所谓“福利国家”,美国政府的救济发的不算慷慨,但那数额却也高于兄弟我做助教的工资!而有些移民聚集州,比如加州,尤其慷慨, 甚至非法移民也能领到救济。90年代中期,一个四口之家(两个小孩)的家庭,如果各项主要救济项目(TANF+Medicaid+Foodstamp)都 参与的话,每年可以领取1,2612美元,怎么也不算个小数目了。 这给政府带来的负担让克林顿总统头疼,于是1996年签署通过 了《个体职责与工作机会调和法》(Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act), 基本是说联邦政府不再给“非公民”发救济了,至于各个州,你们自己看着办吧。 像加州,德州这种移民大州,自然不可能对移民群体下此“毒手”。但在此“大气候”之下,加州提出了著名的“187号提案”,要禁止一切“非法移民”领取几乎所有政府救济。而更“恐怖”的是,在1994年11月的投票表决中,加州选民59%投了支持票,于是该提案得以通过。 虽 然该提案只针对“非法移民”,并且在通过之后从未严格执行过,但此举仍然吓坏了移民们,尤其吓坏了华裔移民。一夜之间,合法移民也停止了领取救济,文献中 管这现象叫“惊悚效应”(chilling effect)。虽然此时《排华法案》已经终止了半个世纪之久,并且也不太可能历史重演,但“拿人家的手短”,客人终究是客人,万一真惹毛了主人,那也是 因小失大。 这次事件也给华人提了个醒,“做客”终究不是长久之道,“反客为主”才是百年大计。虽说“绿卡在手,太平洋两岸随便走”,但绿卡终不过是一张签证,没有投票权,命运还是掌握在别人手中,不踏实。只有再进一步,入籍了事。 于 是1996年之后,华人圈开始流行入籍。有数据显示,1994到1995年,只有47.6%被调查的在美华裔入籍,但1997到1998年,这比例升到了 69.1%,同时,前苏联,古巴,伊朗移民的入籍比例也大幅攀升。既然故国不堪,漂泊不定,不如干脆咬咬牙扎根美利坚算啦。而英国人,日本人,德国人却不 买这个账:“妈的,歧视老子,老子还不呆啦!”同一期间,这三国移民的入籍比例各自下降十多个百分点。 百年之后尚且如此紧张,而 百年前的大排华,又给“在每根铁路枕木下都埋下了一具尸首”的华工带来了怎样的大灾难?1875年做为中国驻华盛顿副使的容闳,在国会力阻“排华”之时, 突然发现那些平时风度翩翩的议员,竟然风度尽失,说话活像西部蛮荒之地的牛仔。“妓女”,“猪猡”,“苦力”,Chinaman,这一连串的侮辱性字眼就 成了当时数十万在美华工的标签。 当年坊间流行的小调是这么唱的:“(18)49年来了苦力,51年又来了妓女,酒吧间里一滚地,咦,儿子倒成了美国籍!” (“The miners came in fourty-nine, the whores in fifty-one, they rolled around on the barroom floor, then came the native son!")
撞开那扇门(四):谁说中国人就不是“白人”?!

“我想,有朝一日,中国教育普及,人人都懂得公权和私权的意义,那时无论什么人,谁敢侵害其权利,必有胆力奋起自卫!”
然而就算遭人唾骂,沦落风尘,也不能阻挡其中的女子争取自身的权利,当年旧金山的名妓“亚彩”(音译)就是这样一位奇女子。1849年,她抵达旧金 山,不久就成为当地“头牌”。据说仰慕者为一睹芳容,不惜排队一个街区,花费一盎司黄金。而古今中外,妓女虽然传奇不断,但嫖客素质却一直有待提高。就算 在中国的传统中,“欠过夜钱”也是令人不齿,连手持“人民英雄纪念刀”的星爷也是要拿猪肉抵债的。
可法律就是法律,不是儿戏,就算华人没有非洲血统,但华人算不算“白人”呢?多白算白?谁规定华人不够“白”?当年就有三位勇敢的中国人(可惜我不
知道名字)在旧金山的联邦巡回法院挑战这一规定。据此,当时的巡回法官索约尔如此回答:“
无论在日常语境还是在科学文献中,‘白人’都是个约定俗成的字眼,它的外延很少或者从未延伸到包括蒙古人种。” (“(white person)
had a well-settled meaning in common popular speech and in scientific
literature” and “were seldom if ever used in a sense so comprehensive
to include individuals of the Mongolian race”) 1882年,《排华法案》通过,排华浪潮一浪高过一浪,作为驻美副使的容闳在华盛顿难挽狂澜,上文已有记述。但这里,我想提一个几乎已经被忘却的人,在被清廷召回两年后重返美国的“留美幼童”耶鲁1887级毕业生李恩福。 李恩福,语言天才,精擅拉丁文。从当时美国已有200多年历史的著名语言学校霍普金斯语法语法学校以第一名的成绩进入耶鲁,1887年时26岁,从
耶鲁以顶级成绩毕业。同年,美国出版了他的书《我在中国的童年》(when I was a boy in
China),讲述了他从中国南方小镇走到美国的经历,这据说可能是华裔在美国出版的第一本书。更与新英格兰名媛丘吉尔家族的伊丽莎白小姐接成连理,在当
时的排华浪潮中备受当地媒体瞩目,这个年轻人的前途不可限量。 可这个人,抛弃了他一生所有最美好的东西来为在美华工争取权利,四处演说,并且为赴反华浪潮最为激烈的西部闹得妻离子散。而在西部,他的同胞终究选
择躲在了中国城里战战兢兢,没有聚集在他的旗下为自身的权利奋斗.最终,他希望成立的中国劳工工会无果而终,在66岁的1927年离开美国,1938年死
在香港。
下一次,我来翻译他当年的著名演讲《中国人必须留下!》,算是献给那些为了奥运会以及各种傻逼理由的被驱逐出城的农民兄弟。城市建设,缺乏廉价劳
力,他们于是来了,城市建好了,城里人嫌他们脏乱差,又要赶他们走。这情景和百多年前美国的“排华”何等相似?!不同的是,这次他们是在自己的土地上。 正如老罗所言:总有一天,城里人会知道他们曾经是怎样的丧尽天良! November 24 有意思的科普文章转载自:科学松鼠会[http://songshuhui.net] 本文链接: http://songshuhui.net/archives/216.html 推荐这个网站,我有两个哥们已经在上面发文章了。无奈我文笔太滥,连丢脸的机会都没有 检测结果是阳性,你病了吗云无心 发表于2008-05-24 星期六 9:14 (已刊于《新京报》) 坚信动物预测地震的人士们最基本的“信念”就是:地震来临之前所发生的人类不能感知到的某些信号,许多动物能够感知到。向安婆婆同学学习一下,虽然咱不是 靠数学统计或者动物地质吃饭的专业人员,但是应该不妨碍咱也用点知道的数字的知识来讨论一下:退一百步,即使这条“信念”是正确的,那又如何? 如果有一种病,发病率不算高,假设0.1%吧, 一旦发生了就不可救药。但是如果提前知道,可以进行代价不小但是相对于死亡来说还可接受的防治,比如说从此不许吃肉,或者天天吃二两黄连,再或者切掉一条 腿。。。在医学上有一种检测方法,可以进行早期诊断。当然就像别的检测方法一样,它总有一定的出错概率。这个方法能够做到的是:如果你有病,那么检测结果99%会是阳性;如果你没病,那么有1%的可能性结果会呈阳性。当然你仍然可以责怪医学研究人员为什么光吃饭不干活,不能让那99%变成100%,让那1%变成0%。但是,就目前的医学水平而言这也不算差了。现在,你进行了一次检测,结果呈阳性,你会怎么办?从此不吃肉?天天吃黄连?切腿?。。。 换句话说,面对阳性率99%的检测方法得到的阳性结果,你会有多大的信心接受“有病”的判断?对于数学或者统计人士,应用条件概率的公式可以直接给出答案。考虑到很多人不习惯用数学公式来说话,我们还是换种具体直观的方式来分析吧。
对于一个100万人口的人群进行这个疾病的普查。发病率0.1%,大致有1000人得病,99%的阳性率,所以约有990个阳性结果。没病的99.9万人中,1%会被误诊为阳性(所谓的假阳性),共有9990个阳性结果。所有检测下来,共有10980个阳性结果,其中只有990人是真正有病的,比例是9%! 好了,虽然检测结果是阳性的,但是你没病的可能性还有91%。你会选择不吃肉,每天吃黄连,或者切腿吗? 为什么一个阳性率已经相当高(99%)的检测方法,检测出来阳性结果的时候却是91%可能没病呢?仔细看看上面的分析,不难发现:尽管只要有病就几乎肯定(99%)能被检测到,没病被误诊的概率也不高(1%),但是由于发病率很低所以真阳性的数量远远小于假阳性的数量。结果,有病固然基本上显示为阳性,但阳性结果却只有很小的概率是真的有病。 现在让我们来玩玩数字游戏,把上面的几个数字改变一下,看看结果会发生什么改变: 一、 保持随机发病率(0.1%)和假阳性率(1%)不变,把阳性率提高到100%,结果阳性结果时的有病概率是9.1%;阳性率降低到90%,阳性结果的有病概率则变为8.3%;如果降低到50%,则结果变为4.8%。也就是说,对于检测结果为阳性的时候得病概率的问题,表示有病情况下被检测出来的准确性(阳性率)并不是那么关键。不过这个数字的影响在于,如果低的话,检测结果阴性但是有病的可能性却还是很高,这个检测也就很成问题。 二、保持阳性率(99%)和假阳性率(1%)不变。把发病率改为1%,阳性结果有病的概率就变成了50%;如果把发病率降低到0.01%(万分之一),则即使检测结果为阳性,得病的概率也还不到1%。 三、 保持阳性率99%,发病率0.1%不变,把假阳性率降低到0.1%,会发现阳性结果有病的概率变成了49.8%;如果假阳性率升高到5%,则这个概率只有1.9%。 好了,总结上面的数字游戏——游戏只是说随意地改变参数,算法是可靠的——可以看出:当面对一个阳性结果,真实情况如何并不全由阳性率(有病的时候能被检测到的概率)决定。真实的随机发病率和假阳性率的相对大小甚至更为重要。 对于地震预测而言,地震相当于得病,我们用来预测地震的方法相当于检测手段,而试图用以预测地震的那些“异象”,蟾蜍过街也罢,猪不进圈也罢,相当于阳性结果。地震预测就是根据那些“阳性结果”去推测地震发生的可能性。 现在我们来看看地震预测中的这几个参数。尽管有无数的文章从科学研究的现有结果指出地震与动物“异象”关系不大,但是许多人仅仅出于“信念”而“相信”动 物有着神奇之处,在地震来临之前可以感受到并且做出反应。好吧,我们不在这个问题上费口水了,就算可以吧。按照这种“信念”,如果地震要发生,蟾蜍一定会 搬家,猪一定会出圈,狗一定会叫个没完。。。把阳性率假设为100%,总不会再有口水了吧。再说地震发生, 有意义的预测总得告诉人们在一个不大的地区内不长的时间内有不算低的可能性发生地震,预测“未来十年中国会发生大地震”大概没有什么实际意义。预测到一块 不大的区域,比如中国行政区划上的一个地区,在几个月内有地震大概才会有一定的决策意义。想想这样的一个区域在过去几百年中发生了几次地震,可以估算在一 定长度的时间段内发生地震的概率。比如500年中发生了5次大地震(这个算得上地震高发区了吧?),那么在任何一个月的时间段内发生地震的概率可以估算为1200分之一。而对于某种动物“异象”,比如蟾蜍过街或者猪不进圈,也可以统计在这500年 中发生过多少次,除去发生了地震那几次,剩下的就是假阳性的次数。这个数字大概无法统计,因为没有发生地震的话人们会忽略这种“异象”而不会留下记录。不 过,现在的资讯发达,过去几年全国报道过的“蟾蜍过街”不下十起,即使把绵竹的那一起勉强算作“阳性结果”,假阳性率应该还是大大高于地震发生率。这里做 个保守估计,算10倍吧,那么假阳性率是120分之一。把这三个数字带入上面的分析,结果:即使地震来临之前蟾蜍一定会过街,当看到蟾蜍过街的时候,地震发生的概率也只有9.1%。 这个9.1%,还是基于上面的数字游戏中所有数字都尽可能往有利于预测的方向上靠的结果。实际上有很多地震之前并没有看到蟾蜍过街,也就是说那个100%的阳性率是不靠谱的,其次实际的地震发生率和蟾蜍过街率的差别,很可能也要远远高于10倍。 所以,蟾蜍过街这个“阳性结果”,所预示的“得病概率”还会远远低于上面的结果。一个检测结果阳性的人,如果没有作防治,最后得了绝症,人们会说虽然只有 百分之几的可能,但是切腿还是比得绝症好多了,当初应该接受“预测”的。但是,当初面对几个百分点的得病概率还没有发病的时候呢?当面对大量既没切腿又没 得病的例子的时候呢? 许多人又说了,谁让你只看蟾蜍的,多看些动物,假阳性率不就低了么?这话理论上是没错的。问题在于,多看些动物,比如在蟾蜍过街的同时,还要猪不进圈,狗 不吃饭,鸡不下蛋。。。如此等等,同时发生来作为“阳性指标”。假阳性率可能是降低了,“真阳性率”却也同时降低了。看看过去发生的地震,有多大的比例同 时达到了这些“阳性指标”?“真阳性率”降低了,地震还是不能被预测到。 在前面疾病普查的例子中,疾病的随机发生率是0.1%,检测结果是阳性的话虽然得病的概率也不够高,但是上升到了9%。我们再在进行一次独立的检测,如果还是阳性的话,患病的可能性就高达90.7%。当然我们还可以再进行一次,还是阳性的话,得病概率就接近100%了。 这也就是许多阳性结果要进行复查的原因。这里强调要“独立进行”,是因为只有复查独立进行,依据的信息跟前一次无关,计算中所用的参数才成立。但是对于地 震预测来说,如何进行这样独立的复查?或许有人说可以把蟾蜍过街当作一次,猪不进圈当作一次,甚至狗不跟邻居的母狗搭讪也算作一次。这想法也不是不可以, 但是当这样预测的时候,每一种预测中所用的参数都将是别的取值了,没法按照上面的计算过程简单重复了。有兴趣的人当然可以取认为合理的参数,看看这样的“ 预测”有多靠谱。 如果有1%的可能要得绝症,而防治的措施是不吃肉的话,相信很多人可以做到;天天吃黄连,大概也有很多人可以接受;但是切腿呢? 即便是我们“相信”地震来临的时候动物会有异常,根据这种“异常”来“预测”地震的可靠性能有多高?相对于地震来临,长时间大面积众多人口的躲避是相当于不吃肉,吃黄连,还是切腿?

鉴于我如此的性感和善解人意,我把抵制牛根生,抵制蒙牛的文章直接拿过来得了: 请跟我一起抵制 连岳 @ 2008-11-6 13:00:05 阅读(26477) 评论(162) 引用通告 分类: 至少我认为 我和南方都市报是多年的朋友,以后也还会是朋友,但是今天我要说一声: 南方都市报,脸红一下吧。 三聚氰胺结石奶粉的受害者依然求告无门,10月29日媒体新闻还是:法院称接上级指示所有三鹿奶粉索赔不立案。当然,就更不会受理蒙牛奶粉索赔案了。 毒奶粉事件主凶之一田文华,现在准备受审,善于挑动民族情绪取代质量标准的国家质检总局局李长江也下台了。与田文华一样做恶的蒙牛牛根生却逃脱了。 9月23日,我在BLOG里写过《蒙牛比三鹿凶狠》(此文已被和谐)。当时的资讯就显示,牛根生在察觉不妙时,已经在股市兑现,香港媒体当时报道称:”值得留意的是,蒙牛管理層在8月察覺異樣,巧合地由總裁牛根生擁有控股權的銀牛及金牛公司, 選擇在公佈中期業績前約一個月,即8月1日,透過大摩進行配售舊股,每股淨配售價22.02元,套現淨額12.6億元,銀牛及金牛的持股量合共降至 16.42% 。“ 仅仅过去一个多月,国内的司法体系偏袒包庇牛根生这些罪犯、剥夺受害者权利的做法,让牛根生又活过来了,而且竟然以万言书的方式重新诉求于民族企业的危机,以此来欺骗消费者。 一个做毒奶粉的人,他怎么骗人,都不意外。蒙牛是什么性质的企业,李华芳的《本是外国“牛”,莫谈民族心》说得很清楚,我不能再同意他的结论了:”实际上一个公司的股权变更对于消费者而言并非最为要紧的事情,消费者需要的是安全有保障的产品。“ 让我非常非常非常意外的是,评论水准一向很高的南方都市报竟然发表呼应牛根生的文章《救救老牛,救救民族企业》,除了出现”英雄落泪“这样的字眼,还以这样的逻辑恐吓读者"如果此时让民族企业倒闭,受损的不只是蒙牛,蒙牛在业内并非无良企业的代表,蒙牛倒闭无助于中国乳制品业诚信度的整体提升,相反,蒙牛倒闭将成为中国乳品业乃至中国整体食品产业倒下的第一块多米诺骨牌,中国乳品业、食品业、饲料业将会陷入狂乱的倒闭狂潮。一夜之间,中国民族企业将所剩无几。" 说这种本末倒置,混淆黑白的话,会不会有一点不好意思?蒙牛是什么性质的企业不谈,正是这些把良知换成三聚氰胺的企业,再加上不保护消费者的司法体系,才让中国的消费者彻底对民族企业失去信心,连带伤及守法的企业。只要牛根生能蒙混过关,消费者的信心永远建立不起来。试图绑架整个民族企业来脱罪的行为,正是对全体民族企业的侮辱与伤害。 更可笑的是,牛根生万言书中声称得到国内其他企业的资金支助,也使用了其制造毒奶粉的手段——掺假。今天,中海油否认援助牛根生:我们没承诺2.5亿。 牛根生发布这样的假信息,意图很明确,让读者的脑袋长结石,以至于原谅一家毒害婴儿的企业。 既然牛根生要动用资源骗人——南方都市报都能大失水准,足见牛根生的能量之大——那么,没有资源的我,希望大家今天开始跟我一起抵制牛根生、抵制蒙牛,抵制到法院受理毒奶粉索赔案件,抵制到受害者得到合理赔偿,抵制到牛根生不敢撒谎并受到追究。 希望守法的企业及有责任感的企业家为了自己的荣誉、为了重建消费者的信心、为了自己的生存、为了应有的是非,跟我一起抵制牛根生、抵制蒙牛,抵制到法院受理毒奶粉索赔案件,抵制到受害者得到合理赔偿,抵制到牛根生不敢撒谎并受到追究。 最后再说一声,南方都市报,请脸红一下,请向毒奶粉的受害者说声抱歉。请你们跟我一起抵制牛根生、抵制蒙牛,抵制到法院受理毒奶粉索赔案件,抵制到受害者得到合理赔偿,抵制到牛根生不敢撒谎并受到追究。 受害婴儿仍在无助哀哭,我们怎能让凶手开始卡拉OK? November 06 At least a great lecturer-奥巴马获胜感言《Change Has Come To America》
Hello, Chicago. If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory. I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you – we as a people will get there. There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people. Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House – a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too. And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope. For that is the true genius of America – that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin. And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can. At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can. When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can. When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can. She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can. A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can. America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made? This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America. November 04 AI was traded AGAIN我自己都快忘了: 我是AI的球迷!
去年KG和Ray Allen投奔Boston的时候,很多人还真真正正的(或者假模假样的)讨论了一把"忠诚"问题. 其实大家早就该知道"逼死你就是逼死你"(business is business )了.
听闻到这个消息,不禁头大. 到不是因为AI离开丹佛让我不能接受,而是联盟前得分王,MVP,如此塔夫的斗士居然两年内再次被交易! 上次我听到他是费城的骄傲时,转天就被交易了;而这次呢,没有丝毫的预兆,AI再次被送走......
不过,离开Denver是件好事儿. Karl不会防守,Denver全队没有取胜的欲望,另外一位大牌Anthony天天吊的二五八万似的,却只是一个大屁股投手. 虽然现在汽车城也不是"冠军的心"了,但是拥有Rasheed和Prince的活塞怎么也要比Denver顺眼一些吧. 不过,无奈的是活塞是注定要以重建为目标的,他们看重的只是AI的到期和同.
明年的Iverson又会怎么样呢?
