Chadra 跟 Jim 的提名时刻, 跟会后访问

会后 TVGuide 给 Jim 做的专访... 真的是可爱得我说不出话了! D***!
P.S.: 这里面谢耳朵有轻微透剧, 看者慎看!

=============== 我是条分割线 ===============

亲爱的谢耳朵啊, 你怎么会那么帅啊! In suit! 像 David 说的, 如果不是今年多出来的几个 slot, 他压根入不了围. 也是, TBBT 这剧是有限制. 不过一个人见谢耳朵, 就一个人喜欢上他. 再说, 他的对手也太猛了. 这小毛孩还要时间磨. Alec Baldwin 跟 Steve Carell 就是猛男s. 唉... 还是耐你, Jim... ^_^

亲爱的白莉啊, 你太猛了! 刚 Tony 完现在又来搞 Emmy. 不过她不会次奖真的是天地不容啊!!! GA是肥皂, 可是 Chandra 能把它肥皂得那么出神, 也不容易吧... 主啊... 保佑她吧~~~ T_T

Lost也入围了最佳剧情剧. 不过应该获奖机会不大. 我倒是宁愿它最后一季拿. 不过我想要 Michael Emerson 拿奖~~~ 好帅... 而且他一直都演得很好, 怎么上次就让 Terry O'Quinn 捧走的?! 这次就给 ME 拿吧! 我盼了三季了!!! T_T

新增了个综艺类, Saturday Night Live 也入围了. 好想它拿奖... 集集追... 不过有两部老不死跟它拼, 真不知道会怎么给奖... 而且 Kristen Wiig 跟 Amy Poehler 也因为 SNL 提名了. 如果要拿的话都应该要给 Kristen, 她真的是为 SNL 牺牲太多了, IMDB 对她的评价可是A+++++++啊. 对 Amy 来说这提名来得真是及时. 明年应该就是提名最佳女主/配角了. 不过想要超过 Tina Fey 的话, 应该还有好长一段路要走. Tina 真太有才了, 虽然 30 Rock 我真的是怎么看都看不懂... -_-b plust为什么我的 Seth Meyers 没被提名?! 不爽!

还有就是 GA 里的 Sarah Oh 也再次被提名了, 跟 Chandra 决一死战. 上次输给了 Katherine Heigl, 这次的话... 不知道了... 反正我对她也不咋的感冒... 哈哈

Sally Field 因 Brothers & Sisters 获提名. 前几天还跟土土土说到他. 我说她好歹也是奥斯卡影后, 他说她只是个过气的女星. 我纠结至今... T_T

继去年提名拿奖手不停, 今年继续轰炸我眼睛: Tina Fey 的 30 Rock 又是最佳女主角又是编剧又是选角又是配角又是男主角又是最佳喜剧提名, 总共 22 项. 她真的是个很成功的女人, 很了不起. 对她的作品很是不感冒, 不过能理解为啥她能有那么多提名. 喜欢她是因为她有才, 还有就是她演的 Sarah Palin 让我一直笑到现在. 什么时候再看都觉得是个享受啊! 能有那么多提名, 值得! ^_^ 她也因为这个获得了综艺节目最佳客串女演员. 看吧, 准是看一次笑抽一次... 哈哈 (有兴趣且是美国的看这, 能上你管的看这, 其它的我无能为力了, 下个SNL S34E01看看吧...)

女的那么忙, 男的当然也停不下来. 看看 Neil Patrick Harris... 刚屁癫主持完个 Tony, 现在又屁癫过来主持 Emmy, 真的是累不死他啊. 今年 Emmy 制度的改变, 应该对报光率贼大的 NPH 有帮助. 大红人一个了. 入围了最佳喜剧男配角, 获奖的机会是没了, 不过能现将在大奖面前红一次, 是不错啊! How I Met Your Mother 也入围了最佳喜剧, 可是对着 30 Rock 跟 Weeds 啥的, 我看还是算了. 这剧我本来都不想再看了, 要如果不是为了 Josh Radnor 的话... 不过电视台还继续签了下一季... sigh

唠叨完了. Emmy 真的是越来越分猪肉了. 也是, 危机当头, 哪有钱往哪走, 没钱的话, 谁养你们学院的人?

阿门.

一、海尔

其实作为现代的学生民族企业听得最多的就是海尔。第一个走向国际第一个自主的一堆东西第一个被搬上教材的企业第一个……关于海尔的报道真的是多到没人信。再加上小的时候在家里看着动画城长大，其中一部很长很长很长的动画片就是海尔兄弟。其实我也纳闷了很久海尔兄弟跟海尔公司有什么联系，怎么就连商标也跟动画片的一样呢？是公司老总特别喜欢海尔兄弟还是海尔兄弟本来就是那个老总画的？其实都没有关系。最重要的是海尔真的在中国人心中扎下了很深很深的根，烙上了很深很深的印。能称得上是中国是民族企业的，也只有海尔一家了。

二、联想

当年联想收购 IBM 的时候我也只是嗤之以鼻：一个小小的公司就像吞掉IBM？！荒唐！谁知道联想真的做到了（我们暂且不要管 IBM 本本的销售怎样），有那么点牛。不过想一想这也是联想应得的。我家的第一部台式电脑就是联想的，是天禧的，现在我还在用它写这篇博客，诧异吧？！我买了它7年了，对它的唯一升级就是内存，现在是512。有什么经验？经验就是我从来没有坏过一次，硬件完全没有问题，也不知道那些人怎么用的电脑天天出问题还骂联想烂。当年电脑刚回家的时候那个装电脑的人超级耐心地义务教了我3个小时电脑（当年买的时候可没有这个服务在里面），也是他带我进了电脑这个那么美妙的世界！“没有联想，这个世界会变成怎样？”“没有联想我就是个废人了！”^_^
最后呼吁一下大家，在买外国货的时候不要忘了参考一下自己民族的东西啊！
这里有个小投票，你也投上一票来支持你喜欢的民族企业吧！

我投！

Egg came first, 'eggsperts' agree

Friday, May 26, 2006; Posted: 7:33 a.m. EDT (11:33 GMT)LONDON, England -- It's a question that has baffled scientists, academics and pub bores through the ages: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg.
Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.
The living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into, he said.
"Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg," he added. "So, I would conclude that the egg came first."
The same conclusion was reached by his fellow "eggsperts" Professor David Papineau, of King's College London, and poultry farmer Charles Bourns.
Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.
He told PA people were mistaken if they argued that the mutant egg belonged to the "non-chicken" bird parents.
"I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," he said.
"If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg."
Bourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp.
He said: "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs."
The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film "Chicken Little" on DVD.

科 学: 人类基因被引入水稻中

美国一家小型生物科技公司ventria正在发展一种可能带来大问题的技术：将人类基因引入到水稻中。公司称新的转基因水稻能产生特殊的蛋白质以防止腹泻儿童出现脱水现象。腹泻每年导致约200万儿童死亡。之前的转基因都是在植物间展开的，一个不成文的规定是：不要将人类基因转移到植物中。ventria认为此能够拯救百万儿童，许多人则更担心可能导致的交叉污染。

科 学: 抗癌鼠—新的希望（我是学生物的...）

Wake Forest 大学医学院的科学家发现从培养的有抗癌能力血 统的小鼠身上抽取出来的白细胞，注射到普通的小鼠之后，这些普通小鼠身上种植的多种癌症肿瘤(包括极富侵略性与攻击性的恶性肿瘤) 都得到了彻底的治愈，并且获得对新植入癌细胞的终身抵抗能力。有抗癌血统的小鼠最初发现于1999 年，科学家们对抗癌小鼠白细胞能杀灭并免疫癌症的原因尚未了解。也许在不久的将来，人类仅通过注射一些有特殊抗癌能力的白细胞进入体内就能轻松消灭癌症。

I have notified the Harvard Corporation that I will resign as President of the University as of June 30, 2006. Working closely with all parts of the Harvard community, and especially with our remarkable students, has been one of the great joys of my professional life. However, I have reluctantly concluded that the rifts between me and segments of the Arts and Sciences faculty make it infeasible for me to advance the agenda of renewal that I see as crucial to Harvard's future. I believe, therefore, that it is best for the University to have new leadership.

Harvard's greatness has always come from its ability to evolve as the world and its demands change - to educate and draw forth the energy of each successive generation in new and creative ways. Believing deeply that complacency is among the greatest risks facing Harvard, I have sought for the last five years to prod and challenge the University to reach for the most ambitious goals in creative ways. There surely have been times when I could have done this in wiser or more respectful ways. My sense of urgency has stemmed from my conviction that Harvard has a special ability to make a real difference in a world desperately in need of wisdom of all kinds.

As I leave the presidency, my greatest hope is that the University will build on the important elements of renewal that we have begun over the last several years. Much as I might have preferred to help, as President, to build more of the magnificent structure that will be early 21st century Harvard, I take satisfaction in having played a part in laying some of the foundations for what may come.

We have recognized in the last several years, based on extensive deliberation and on the objective evidence of surveys, that the quality of the experience we provide our students is not fully commensurate with their quality or the quality of the Harvard faculty. The faculty has launched a substantial effort to renew the undergraduate experience with results already apparent in significantly greater student-faculty contact, in a major increase in international opportunities for our students, and in a start on bringing space for student activities and social life up to the standard of peer institutions. Much lies ahead as the curricular review moves forward. We can all share the hope that, whatever the result, it will be one that puts the needs of our students at the center of our educational design.

At a time when the median age of our tenured professoriate is approaching 60, the renewal of the faculty has to be a central concern. A number of faculties, notably the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, have seen their most rapid growth in over a generation in the last several years. As the Harvard faculty is renewed, I believe it essential that the University do much better than it has done traditionally to ensure that we are doing everything we can to attract, develop, and retain the most promising emerging scholars who will define the future of their disciplines. Significant steps have been announced with respect to hiring, mentoring, research support, and tenure review, but continued attention to these issues over the next several years is essential, especially if we are to achieve the shared objectives of promoting diversity and interdisciplinary appointments.

We have taken important steps in the last several years to extend to all parts of the University the promise that talent, and not ability to pay, is the key to a Harvard education. With our elimination of family contributions for students from families with incomes below $40,000, Harvard has reaffirmed its commitment to education as a source of opportunity in this nation and has significantly increased the economic diversity of the student body in the College. We are extending the same philosophy to our graduate and professional schools by making sure that students who choose academic or public service careers are well supported while at Harvard so that they are not unduly burdened if they choose careers whose chief rewards do not come in financial terms. Given the resources that strong endowment returns have made available, there is much more that can and should be done to sustain a University-level commitment to financial aid.

Even as we have continued to build our faculty in the humanities and social sciences and create new facilities for the arts, the University is in the midst of unprecedented commitments to science and technology. The success of these investments will be crucial over the next several decades to the University's global standing and to the economic health of our region. We are building, or have plans to build, scientific facilities with area totaling more than 25 football fields. And we are entering into new collaborations, such as the Broad Institute and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, which bring together different Schools within Harvard, MIT, and area hospitals to work on the kind of large-scale cross-disciplinary inquiry that increasingly defines modern science. Recognizing the centrality of technology in today's intellectual life, we also have plans for dramatic increases in Harvard's commitment to engineering. All of this energy will require careful focus. I am very hopeful that the work of the Provost and the current cross-university faculty science planning committee will permit continued progress in this vital area.

Bringing the University together has been a central, and very challenging, goal in recent years. We have made important, if unglamorous, gains in increasing financial transparency across the University and have realized financial and operational efficiencies in matters ranging from purchasing to budgeting to human resources to the raising of funds. We have also seen an increase in the number of joint and concurrent degree programs, and I am encouraged by the recent attention of GSAS to supporting cross-university doctoral programs. But we still have a great distance to travel. We cannot maintain pre-eminence in intellectual fields if we remain constrained by artificial boundaries of departments and Schools. "Each Tub On Its Own Bottom" is a vivid, but limiting, metaphor for decision making at Harvard. We will not escape its limits unless our Schools and Faculties increase their willingness to transcend parochial interests in support of broader university goals.

This issue will be especially important with respect to the unique opportunity the University has before it in Allston. In recent years we have made further land acquisitions, and begun to prepare sites for development. Just last week we announced plans for a first major science building and additional space for our art collections. A master physical plan is taking shape and the University has begun acquiring the necessary development capacity for its implementation. The greatest challenge will be to mobilize the tremendous creativity and energy in our community to assure that what we build in Allston enables the University as a whole to undertake pioneering work in important new ways that make a real difference in the world.

As fulfilling as they have been in many ways, these last years have not been without their strains and moments of rancor. After a period of sabbatical and reflection, I look forward to taking up the tasks of teaching and research at the University and to returning to my professional preoccupation with questions of national and international economic policy. In the meantime, I hope and trust that we will together move through the remainder of this academic year in a spirit of good will and constructive engagement with the work of the University.

I will treasure the continuing friendship and support of so many exceptional colleagues and students at Harvard. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have served as Harvard's President.

With appreciation,

Lawrence H. Summers

"Our goal is come up with a way to observe and measure how joints are moving when people are actually using them," Banks said. "We think this will be tremendously powerful, not only for research but also in the clinical setting as well."

Current technologies --static X-rays, MRI and CT scans-- can be effective, but they do not work well with injuries that manifest themselves when a joint is in motion.

Banks hopes his system – that uses two robots: one robot to shoot the X-ray video and another to hold the image sensor — will lead to a radical improvement.

The current working prototype, which has a one-metre mechanical arm, is a commercial product normally used in robotically assisted surgeries and silicon chip manufacturing that have been re-engineered. The robot can shadow a person’s knee, shoulder or other joint with its hand as he or she moves.

In its completed form, the hand will hold lightweight equipment capable of shooting X-rays, while another robot will hold the sensor that captures images of the body as moving videos. Although the robots will be attached to a fixed base, there is room for a person to move around normally within their reach. And in the future, said Banks, "we could put these robots on wheels and they could follow you around."

P.S: 難道創意就真的只有外國人才可以有的嗎?!

MIT 的 Smart Cities 团队正着手处理大都市里最棘手的交通拥挤问题，及那些没有被 Segway 给解决的问题，他们准备用一台可以“堆栈”的概念小车来做为解决大众交通运输问题的其中一项方案，其实这样的概念就像那些在欧洲实施的脚踏车分享项目，车子不用的时候就可以像超市的购物车一样叠在一起，减少空间的使用。

概念车的轮子可以旋转三百六十度，里面容纳了悬挂和马达，这辆车除了能为大都会的交通运输提供机动性外，他们还打造了一个新型的乘客座舱，座舱内建的设备能够在车轮发生冲撞时像“手指头”一样紧紧的将乘客环抱，保护乘客安全。听起来这新款概念车的确很不错，不过我们还是得瞧瞧这样的科技到最后究竟是流于空想，还是真能够打造出实体车型。如果成真，那么在 MIT 团队完成了设计图后，GM 应该就会是负责制造的公司。

P.S: 看來我沒有選擇MIT十一個極度正確的選擇, 那裏真的不是一般人可以去的地方... 難怪有人說那裏是天才的聚集地..... 唉......
