小结目前看到的地震预测消息

星期一, 五月 12th, 2008

信息来源为北大未名BBS三角地/Triangle版。尽管以下的预测都像模像样,正如三角地上某人所说的,“我每天都预测一下明天会地震”,专业人士们明确指出科学界目前对地震没有办法做到长时期准确预测,这些提前了好几天的估计都是不靠谱的。希望看到这个日志的人也向周围的朋友们多宣传一下科学观念,以免上当受骗和杞人忧天。

顺带说一下,网上预测的今晚北京有余震的消息不知是否靠谱,新浪上有所谓官方澄清,大家姑且听之:-)

我预测2008年5月12日中国将发生地震!!!!
我预测2008年5月12日中国将发生地震,详情看图
我是一名地质工作者,根据我所掌握的资料,也和国外的一些同行进行了交流。我预测,2008年5月12日中国将发生地震,地震的大致位置会在四川和湖北中部,可能整个中国都有震感。但我的预测不能在官方公布,因为没有实际证据,怕引起恐慌。我是武汉人,据我预测,震中应该离武汉不远,希望看到此帖的武汉老乡能及时通知亲友。大家作好防护措施。

(二)百度地震吧

我刚才看见大片地震云
19:15,我在临沂看见大片地震云,不知今明两天哪里要发生6级以上强震。

(三)四川省人民政府“误传”澄清

阿坝州防震减灾局成功平息地震误传事件

【浏览字号:大 中 小】 来源:省地震局
5月3日晚8时,阿坝州防震减灾局接到群众咨询电话,求证 “马尔康县梭磨乡马塘村将要发生大地震,村干部劝村民搬到户外居住”的传言是否属实。接到咨询电话后,阿坝州防震减灾局立即要求马尔康县防震减灾局采取措施,查找谣传来源,进行辟谣,做好宣传解释工作,防止谣传进一步扩大。接到情况通报后,马尔康县防震减灾局立即联系事发地梭磨乡人民政府,通报相关情况。乡人民政府迅速着手查找谣传来源,经查,此次谣传的发生是由于马尔康县在传达全省地质灾害防治工作电视电话会议时,村干部将“地质灾害”误听为“地震灾害”而造成。

在阿坝州防震减灾局及时进行情况说明和乡、村干部的主动解释下,解除了村民的恐慌情绪,当地生产生活秩序快速恢复了正常。

有很多人对学生的游行说三道四

本文转自:Yin Zhangqi's Blog

其实最好的回应是:行动者总会出错的,而占据道德制高点的口头君子是从来不出错的。可历史是由前者写就的,由前者推动的,后者只能在文章中批评或者羡慕前者。没有错误何来进步?今日反对家乐福的游行集会,比起3年前反日游行,中国学生的表现进步了很多。我相信,这其中有很多学生参加过两次的游行,他们的成长和进步,我们都能看得到。

我今天参加了安娜堡华人的集会示威活动,感觉像是一个大的party。气氛很热烈,情绪也很激昂。我相信游行的人都有类似的感受。游行集会是为了表达自己的意见。自我约束,不要让激昂的情绪失控,让游行一直在和平中进行,才能更好的让别人接受自己的意见。据我了解,国内的反对家乐福游行和集会基本也是和平和克制的。局部地方有些过激的行为,但是很快就受到大家的谴责,并得到纠正。

至于有人批评说抵制家乐福不理智,杀敌一万,自损三千等等,这很正常。不愿意抵制的就不抵制,希望抵制的就自发抵制。抵制从来都是某种情绪的发泄,从来不可用理智来品评。关键是,我们觉得自己吃亏了,要找回场子,家乐福就是出气的对象。不能因为不赞成抵制,就骂那些抵制家乐福的人脑残,被政府利用,幼稚。有时候,正是这些一时意气,走到前台的行动派推动了历史的大发展。中国需要冷静思考厉害关系的人,也需要这些跟着感觉走的怒发冲冠之辈。其实我相信,今天有很多走上街头的学生,是经过冷静思考之后的行动派。他们清楚地知道自己要什么,怒火始终在理智的控制之下。可惜,很多职业批评家们对此选择性失明。

有一种人叫理想主义者

星期二, 五月 6th, 2008

阅读老罗的自述,赫然发现他隐然成为了塑造我大学人生观的第三人(同时要感谢当年撺掇我换新东方时段的伟大举动!),前两人是孔庆东吴国盛

私抄录自述中的最新版老罗语录如下:

我相信我们终究会和谐共处,除非我们什么都不做,或是冲到家乐福对着另一群在那里打工的中国人大声怒吼说我们很爱中国。

教会学生自己做判断和思考比帮他设计出一个“成功的人生”更重要,即便他们真的被“设计”得很快乐。

如果将来真的赚不到钱,那也一定是因为我们自己做得不够好,而不是因为做得不够邪恶。

正是每一个放弃了理想的人,使得别人的人生变得更加丑恶、艰难、令人厌倦甚至是虚无的了。

Share anything. Anytime. Anywhere.

星期二, 五月 6th, 2008

按:Google Reader是一个强大的在线RSS阅读器,也是除Gmail(及内嵌Gtalk)以外我使用最频繁的Google产品。从GReader Friends Shared功能开通的第一天起,众多GFans就在日夜期盼其评论功能的开通。如今,梦想终于成真啦~~Official Google Reader Blog今天公布的这条消息真令人振奋。考虑到国内用户需要翻墙查看,特全文转载如下:

Share anything. Anytime. Anywhere.

Monday, May 05, 2008 by Jenna Bilotta

Have you ever wanted to share something that you were reading, but you didn't want to go through the hassle of subscribing to a whole feed for a single interesting article? And what about sharing content from sites with no feeds? There you are, reading along, and you think to yourself, "If only everything on the web had a 'Share' button like in Google Reader!"

As it turns out, there's all sorts of information "out there" just waiting to be streamed, shared and otherwise consumed by you and your friends. Now you can finally show all of your Reader friends that awesome talking cat video you found, your favorite grilled trout recipe, or reviews of the best brunch place in your neighborhood -- all without a subscription.

Here are a few new ways you can add and share interesting things in Reader:

Note in Reader

Share anything with a bookmarklet - Just drag this link from the Notes page up to your browser's bookmark bar and click, click, click your way to easy, no-subscription sharing in Reader. You can share any content from any web page, even if the site doesn't have a feed. For even more control over what gets shared, select some text from the page before clicking the "Note in Reader" bookmarklet and your selection will appear as the item's body. There's also a space for you to add an editorial note when you need to let your friends know why you are sharing something. You can always uncheck "Add to shared items" if you want to add something to Reader without also adding it to your shared items.

Share items with a note - If you are like me, you might want to share something in Reader, but think your friends might not "get" why you are sharing it. Use the "Share with note" button on the item toolbar to create a copy of that item with your own note attached to it. Now your friends won't have to wonder if the B-movie about an evil floor lamp you shared was intended to be funny, sarcastic, ironic or the real motivation behind your next movie night.

Share with note link
Note on item

Add a note - Do you ever get the urge to just share a thought with your friends without attaching it to any particular item? Now, you can let your friends know whatever pops into your head (for better or for worse) by typing anything into the text box at the top of the Notes page.

Notes box

We have also added a few other small features to make your sharing even more awesome! Add a little personality to your public shared items page by choosing from three new styles from your shared items page.

Shared items styles

Finally, we've changed the list view to highlight when an item is being shared by a friend, as opposed to through your normal subscriptions.

I hope you like these new sharing features as much as I do, because I'm always on the lookout for even more ways to share cool things with my friends! As always, much of our feature development is in response to feedback that we get in our discussion group, and a number of other sources -- so please keep it coming!
