- Slumdog Millionaire - the rags-to-riches story of a young man who overcomes the odds to rescue the love of his life and walk away with a fortune in a TV game show - was on the verge of sweeping the 81st Academy Awards by winning eight of the 10 awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture and Best Director for Danny Boyle.
- But the night belonged to Slumdog Millionaire, which began its run at glory with the award for adapted screenplay, presented to Simon Beaufoy, who wrote the story based on the book Q & A by Vikas Swarup. Slumdog also won the cinematography award for Anthony Dod Mantle, an award that turned into one of the night's comic highlights when presenter Ben Stiller dressed in a Rasputin beard and dark glasses and mumbled his introduction, a parody of the famous Joaquin Phoenix non-interview on the David Letterman show.
- 曾经有过一个时候，人们按照一个模式生活，差异就意味着死亡，大家共同举起手呼喊着同一个口号，那个年代并不遥远：上个世纪三十年代的纳粹德国、同时期的苏维埃俄国和五十、六十年代的中国。你们的理想是回到那个时代吗？one world,one dream,hang~?你们高雅的紧啊。
- 这个年轻的“文怀沙”也是我的好朋友，认识多年，经常在一起喝酒吃饭侃大山。电话问之：你怎么成了年轻的文怀沙？他说，他在某报有专栏，专栏配有作者的头像。恰好前两天他给这家报纸写了篇关于文怀沙的文化评论。《深圳商报》的编辑百度图片“文怀沙”，出来了他的这张照片，编辑想当然认为这是文怀沙年轻时的留影。

- Amy Goodman: On Thursday, Judges Ciavarella and Conahan entered guilty pleas on charges of wire fraud and income tax fraud. They're currently free on a $1 million bail bond pending sentencing. Their plea agreements call for jail sentences of more than seven years. No charges have been filed against the private prisons that paid the bribes.
- BS: She had done a -- I think a MySpace parody … of an assistant principal, a paragraph or two, with internet humor of an adolescent variety, finishing by saying, "I hope that Mrs. Smith" -- or Jones -- "has a sense of humor." It turned out that the assistant principal didn't, we gather, at least, complained to the police, who filed a harassment petition against Hillary. This is the kind of case, like Kurt's and like Jamie's, that never should have been in court in the first place, let alone get to a trial. Juvenile court is not designed for this kind of adolescent misbehavior. The cases should have been diverted entirely. Instead, Hillary and Kurt and Jamie and thousands of others were used by the court for profit, while many people over many years stood by watching.
FT.com / Books / Non-Fiction - Force of nature
- To read Robert Muchembled’s compelling history of violence is to understand how deeply flawed this popular narrative is – and to appreciate that the “good old days” were often far more appalling. Violent impulses have been a permanent and universal feature of our lives since the dawn of time. But what have constantly changed are the ways in which political and religious leaders have sought to inflame or restrain them.
- The statistics Muchembled cites are striking. The number of murders per year is just one per 100,000 in Europe today and six in the US. In 14th-century Europe it was estimated at 130 per 100,000. Yet some aspects of violence have remained constant over seven centuries: 90 per cent of murders are committed by men, most of them younger than 30, and southern Europe has always had a higher incidence of violence than in the north, giving some credence to the popular image of a hot-blooded Latin male.
- 但到了今年2月4日，一切又重新回到了检验时刻：当天临近中午12点，在经历了一天半的董事会讨论后，在纽约沃尔道夫－阿斯托里亚(Waldorf-Astoria)饭店18层会议室，杨元庆用流利的英文宣布自己将辞去董事长职务，改任CEO一职，原CEO阿梅里奥辞任，而空出来的董事长职务，则由已逐渐淡出的创始人柳传志担任。
- 如今柳的意外复出，虽能给联想和投资人带来信心上的提振，却也将自己的声誉置于巨大的风险之中——失败的机会成本对现年65岁的他来说显然过于高昂。

- 正如我先前所讲过的，对日本问题的最佳分析来自于野村综合研究所(Nomura Research Institute)的辜朝明(Richard Koo)*。他最重要的观点是：资产负债状况十分重要。这一观点很简单，被传统经济学所忽视。面对破产的威胁，过度借贷者会难以偿还债务。同样是资产价格的下降，在举债购买的情况下所造成的破坏性，要比没什么债务的情况下严重得多。
Renée Fleming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Renée Fleming (born February 14, 1959) is an accomplished American soprano specializing in opera and lieder. Fleming possesses an agile full lyric soprano voice endowed with ringing freedom and apparent ease near the extreme top of its range.[1] Although lyrical in nature, Fleming's voice has a substantial amount of flexibility and power which allows her to sing a variety of roles from the coloratura, lyric, and lighter spinto soprano repertoires. Her linguistic proficiency, too, serves as an asset—she has sung roles in Italian, German, French, Czech, and Russian, aside from her native English; indeed, she speaks fluent German and French, along with limited Italian. Her signature roles include Countess Almaviva in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Desdemona in Verdi's Otello, Violetta in Verdi's La traviata, the title role in Dvořák's Rusalka, the title role in Massenet's Manon, the title role in Massenet's Thaïs, and the Marschallin in Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier and Arabella
