How to Win the Nobel Peace Prize In 12 Days (zz)

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning. Over the last decade the only requirement to win the prize was that the nominee had to be critical of George W. Bush (see Al Gore, Mohamed El Baradei and Jimmy Carter).

President Obama has broken new ground here. Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1. The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.

Let’s take a look at the president’s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:

January 20: Sworn in as president. Went to a parade. Partied.

January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an “open house” party at the White House.

January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how’s that working out?)

January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

January 25: Skipped church.

January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner's  swearing in ceremony.

January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.

January 30: Met economic advisers. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.

January 31: Took the day off.

February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.

So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, release federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries, party some more.

高科技=高投入=高风险

  NASA的OCO卫星今天凌晨发射失败(http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/02/24/nasa.launch/), 2亿多美金就烧了。其实这个卫星和我做的东东也没啥关系,只是我们系的S教授貌似是其中的一个PI,经常提起这个。据说JPL的人搞了7,8年,总算什么都调试好了,火箭出问题了... S教授加州临晨6点给大家发了信,还更新了blog,貌似非常非常的sad。前后搞了差不多10年,写proposal,拉funding,设计仪器,测试,总装...和自己的孩子似的,说没就没了。还是做computer model的好,搞搞simulation就成了。

为革命,保护视力

在开心网上看到这个投票,才明白这四节操到底叫什么。以前就觉得里面的女声声音太尖了,死活听不清。
这个东东有用不?貌似穴位什么好像没啥道理,不知道现在国内小学中学还做不做

  

美女都熬成大妈了

  昨天的oscar,老印的slumdog成了大赢家。一群老印把 Koda Theater的颁奖台挤的水泄不通,就差载歌载舞了。(那个大叔领两个音乐奖的时候,不知道怎么就想起youtube上著名的印度Michael,是不是老印唱歌都一个调调啊)。那么多热门影片也就看了slumdog和BB,感觉都是不错的电影,像milk什么的拿不拿奖就没有什么资格评论了。
  说说其他的几个镜头。最佳男女主角领奖都那个激动啊。Kate感觉保持了金球的风格,一如既往的语无伦次,嘟嘟囔囔说了一堆也没听出什么重点(不过怎么也比Hilary Swank和Halle Berry强)。Sean Penn手那个抖,和拳王阿里有一拼了。要说Kate是被Oscar耍了好多回激动还情有可原,sean Penn这个二进宫的倒是给老同志们丢了一点脸。最佳女配角入围的有在BB里演Pitt老妈的黑人,原来才40岁,和电影里的大妈完全不是一个人,不过想想BB拿的几个效果奖,化妆和CG的功夫还真不是盖的。
  最后说说几个美女。Aniston居然出席了oscar,导播还特别给了台下的Jolie一个镜头。两大美女都显的很大妈,诡异的是Jolie现在看起来到有一点大奶脸... 真的是因为生了小孩?更大妈的就是Kate了,从Titanic到现在,十多年了,演技上去了,人倒是真老了。反过来的就是发奖的Kidman,感觉看了十几年了她还是那个样子,当然还有不老的(老到头了?)就是Meryl step了,老太太现在越活越精神,不但演歌舞片蹦蹦跳跳,这次还带了一个漂亮女儿出席。最后提一提广末,和那个英语说说云里雾里的导演一起上台,要不是LD眼尖,我完全认不出来了,彻底大妈了。想起在‘手机’里,费老想见传说中的吕桂花,葛优说,现在腰已经水桶一般了...
