周老虎

年华一出基本已经可以确定"周老虎"是个纸老虎,更可能的是连个纸都没有,整一个PS产品
说实话那些照片是如此之假,假到拍过照片的的人都能看出个所以然来,尽然有某地官员傻到拿这种东西去骗国家拨款.更可笑的是国家不仅拨了还上了新闻联播...看来这个社会是没什么救的了
不过媒体对这件事的关注倒是很有意思,从报纸上看已经有不少媒体派驻了记者到周家,看来这个老虎形象代言人还蛮有吸引力的
然后就是网络搜索了,据Google Trends,近日"华南虎"搜索量极限飙升,接近十七大,而"周老虎"这一名词也开始流行,说不定多少年以后就成了成语

Free rice: play and donate


This is a website where you can answers some volcab questions and donate rice to the poor. Some offical FAQs:

Will the rice I donate make a difference?

The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. To a mother or father watching a loved child die in their arms from hunger, the rice you donate is more precious than anything in the world.

How does playing the vocabulary game at FreeRice help me?

Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:

  • Formulate your ideas better
  • Write better papers, emails and business letters
  • Speak more precisely and persuasively
  • Comprehend more of what you read
  • Read faster because you comprehend better
  • Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
  • Score higher on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
  • Perform better at job interviews and conferences
  • Sell yourself, your services, and your products better
  • Be more effective and successful at your job

After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice an odd phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing. You will feel yourself using and knowing more words.


If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

Who distributes the donated rice?

The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The World Food Program is the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.

Google股价跌破700美元大关 美国可能进入recession

周四互联网宠儿Google公司股票跌至700美元以下,这是连续7个交易日以来Google股价首次跌破700美元大关,部分原因是人们担心美国的房地产信贷混乱局面将波及范围更广的经济运行.
在美联储主席对国会议员说经济增长将明显放缓之后,周四一些高涨的科技股股票突然大跌.美联储主席Bernanke称,由于房地产市场麻烦不断,美国经济增长可能在第四季度和2008年遭遇“明显的”放缓.

分析师指出,Google股价的特殊下跌有其他一些原因,其中有交易者在一月近32%的盈利后抽取利润、某些强势业务的终结,还有现在外露的Gphone手机详情.

  本周四,Google股价下跌39.1美元,跌幅达5.3%,收盘时跌至693.84美元.

  可以肯定地说,问题不是单单针对Google.股票交易者总体上都在卖出科技股,纳斯达克综合指数当日下滑了1.9%.

  网络搜索巨头股价陡降的原因之一是投资者套利行为.Google股价在周三达到了747.24美元,自十月以来利润增长近32%.这样一家大公司的高速增长往往会让一些短期交易者寻求快速套利.数周来Google股票盈利颇丰.

  上月Google股价是567.27美元,在10月8日首次突破600美元大关,到10月31日即达到707美元.分析师指出,一些交易者可能认为强势已经转向,因此决定播出抛出股票.

哭了

今天真是倒霉至极,归根结底都是Google害的:明天要考SAT于是上网查了考点的地址,结果Google给的结果竟然事实上是错的,而错的那个地方也正巧有一个很像样的中学彻底倒掉了...
今天一天给我整得呀...
到港以后先去看考场,Google地图上也没指清楚,找了4圈,花了3小时,行程将近10公里终于看到了那个错误的学校,加上高温,山路(爬坡),还有自己花了3个小时围着一个地方转圈的事实,真是疯掉了
后来又去住酒店,好在不用监护人,但是竟然说没有预定必须全价,还好不是贵上了天,还带宽带,房子还真不错
唯一令我担心的是明天,虽然和真正的考场距离也不远,但是正好没有轨道交通相连,要坐地铁估计前后要一个小时...看来
