厦大87年校庆即将到来，网上出了这条信息，很快成为大家关注的热点话题。

恩，我这边也将组织在yale的厦大校友聚会，时间是本周六的晚上。

 

厦门大学将向36410多名在校生提供免费米饭 

   厦门大学所有在校生，明日(28日）起将吃上学校免费提供的米饭，此举将惠及全校36410多名学生。此前，该校漳州校区近21000名在校学生本学期开学起已提前享受这一待遇。
　　记者昨日在厦大凌云食堂看到，购买米饭的窗口已张贴了这一通知。

　　这份《关于我校统一进行米饭补贴的通知》中说，“现物价上涨，学校充分考虑到同学的生活饮食，为进一步体现学校对学生的关心，特别是贫困学生，学校将实行新的伙食补贴政策，通过划拨的专项伙食补贴，将于3月28日统一进行米饭免费补贴。”

　　通知中提到，实施对象为全校全日制本科生、硕士、博士（硕士、博士定向生或委培生除外）；经费来源为学校专门从事业经费中划拨；免费提供的米饭包括稀饭和干饭。

　　通知还特别说明：学校对大米质量进行招标投标，绝不会出现质量下降问题；学校将继续稳定食堂物价，不会将米饭成本转移到菜价上；学校将严把饭菜质量关，让学生吃上放心的可口饭菜；提供米饭只显示重量不显示价格；食堂现场将有老师、同学进行管理督导。

　　通知中还提到：学生应树立“节约粮食”的理念，杜绝浪费现象；自觉遵守按需原则，一人一卡，不打包外带。

　　该校部分学生表示，实行这一新政策后，每人每天大概能节省一元；学校每年将为此多掏多少钱的问题，校方表示尚未进行相关统计。

与窦，沈一起去纽约总领事馆参加学生代表座谈，

主要是学生工作的经验交流，

之后，纽约地区的彭总领事 （大使）与大家进行了座谈，特地介绍了在藏独问题对学生的期望，

就是有理有节，但是避免发生正面冲突，因为他们会有暴力倾向，会对学生的安全不利。

学生活动也要避免授人以柄。因为藏独是唯恐天下不乱，希望破坏奥运的。

他还介绍，最近连续有藏独分子数百人聚集在领事馆门口，进行了破坏，领事馆的外墙，玻璃等被大量损坏，

这两天，因为纽约国际车展开幕，警察因警力原因，向藏独分子提出抗议，他们近两天没有过来集会。

 

新华网台北3月22日电 据台湾媒体报道，台湾地区领导人选举22日举行了投票。中
国国民党籍候选人马英九、萧万长获胜，得票765．87万张，得票率为58．45％；民
进党籍候选人谢长廷、苏贞昌得票544．52万张，得票率为41．55％。

美金正在以不可阻挡的速度下跌，人们失去了对美金的信任，投资商不再对美金感兴趣，将目光投向欧元、瑞士法郎和黄金。

3月13日，美金和瑞士几乎达到了“等价”：1美金=1.0054瑞郎，18点时略有提高，上升到1.0119瑞郎，而前一天还为1.0212瑞郎。3月17日1美金甚至降到了0.9806瑞郎。欧元迎头赶上，1欧元首次攀升到1.56瑞郎。

金价终于突破了一个“重大关口”：1金衡制盎司(31.1034768克)超过了1000美金大关。早在上个月金价就已经开始以不可一世的架势飙升，因为美金的弱势，“非美金区域”的黄金价格变得非常有诱惑力，人们对黄金“跃跃欲试”。

世界各国货币汇率的变化也给我带了了很大的影响，

记得刚拿到瑞士的offer，瑞士法郎与人民币汇率是 1：6.7

等到我抵达瑞士，CHF：RMB 1：6：2

拿到第一个月的工资，邮寄了200CHF回国的时候 CHF ：RMB 1：6.0也是我印象中最低的时候

之后回国，给家里汇款，准备出国押金等等以6.3的比例换了很多钱，现在想想很亏了阿

目前CHF：RMB 汇率大概是7.1：1

打算稍微观望一下，准备把手头的CHF全部出手了

 

USD：CHF 曾经长期保持在 1：1.3,我拿到美国offer时，大概1：1.2,等到我来美国，则是1.1

现在USD已经跌破1了，

我的工资也意味着缩水了不少，有点郁闷

而工资本身并不多，这个影响就更明显啦。

 

 

 

 

 

 评，此战之前，火箭与湖人同为45胜20负，并列西部榜首，而湖人凭借着在西部联盟胜利多，排名第一，

这场关键之战是决定谁是西部老大的巅峰对决，nba也特意把这场比赛时间调整安排在下午三点的黄金时间进行全美现场直播。

，
　　新浪体育讯　北京时间3月17日凌晨，火箭在主场以104-92击败湖人，完成了22连胜的伟业，同时也登上了西部第一的宝座。

　　火箭(46-20)将NBA第二长的连胜延长到22场，同时独享西部第一的位置，将湖人甩开了一场。特雷西-麦克格雷迪上半场一分未得，最后16投仅4中，得11分。拉夫-阿尔斯通挺身而出，他三分球11投8中，砍下了31分并助攻5次。替补出场的鲍比-杰克逊9投7中，也拿下19分。肖恩-巴蒂尔14分，路易斯-斯科拉13分。点此祝贺火箭豪取22连胜>>>

　　湖人(45-21)遭到2连败。科比也表现平平，他33投仅11中，得24分7个篮板，拉马尔-奥多姆17分11个篮板，罗尼-图里亚夫13分8个篮板。

　　火箭连战连捷，连老天都帮他们，在连胜的过程中，打黄蜂时对手少了大卫-韦斯特，打小牛时德克-诺维茨基被禁赛，而今天面对湖人，加索尔又在上一场扭伤脚踝。不过火箭可不会同情对手，再说他们的主将姚明已经缺阵了两个星期。

　　

 

 

我学车是从3月1日开始的，从施师傅和邻居处学车的，上周四，我从一个德国博士后处买了一辆 深蓝色的Honda Accord EX Wagon，性价比还是很不错的。有了车，这几天晚上我自己一个人在停车场练习趴车技术，也会自己开车到hamdom去飙车一把。

3月11日周二，我通过了视力测试和笔试，笔试有点变态，不过有施师傅提供的模拟题，顺利过关，并约了周五考车。

 

英国前首相布莱尔将任教美国耶鲁大学
2008年03月08日22:15:01 
  
 美国著名学府耶鲁大学7日宣布，英国前首相布莱尔将在今年晚些时候进入该校任教。

耶鲁大学当天发表声明说，在下一学年，布莱尔将指导该校一个研讨小组，与其他教员研究有关宗教信仰和全球化的问题，并参与校内其他一系列活动

耶鲁大学校长莱文说，随着世界各国关系越来越紧密，探讨不同宗教如何实现和解而非分化变得日益重要，而布莱尔在这些方面已显示出其卓越的领导能力。

 
布莱尔2007年6月辞去英国首相一职，此后他仍然活跃在国际舞台上，被中东问题有关四方任命为中东问题特使，还将于今年晚些时候成立托尼·布莱尔信仰基金会，而在耶鲁大学任教便是他在基金会的工作之一。

耶鲁大学成立于1887年，其前身是创建于1701年的一所教会学校，1716年迁至美国康涅狄格州纽黑文市，1718年为感谢英国东印度公司官员艾利胡·耶鲁的捐赠，更名为耶鲁学院。耶鲁大学拥有来自美国和其他110多个国家和地区的学生。

耶鲁大学取得了令人瞩目的成就，培养出一大批杰出人才，曾出过5位美国总统。在当今美国乃至世界政治、经济、科学、法律、文化等领域，几乎都能找到担当领导角色的耶鲁毕业生。在耶鲁大学众多的学术精英中，有13位学者曾荣获诺贝尔奖。

Is Hell exothermic or endothermic ?

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore extinct.....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

虽然没有上过新东方，现在看看这篇文章，感觉自己的英语还是涨了一点点，呵呵
 
 
前言：真的没想到陈冠希会用全英文做道歉陈述,虽然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chinese),但英文水平还是让我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用词准确地道，词汇难度较高，包含了50多个考研(雅思)核心词汇，经过改编完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空，或雅思阅读理解。Edison这小子虽然"猥琐"，但英文用词的难度达到了考研英语（国内最变态英语考试）的要求，如果参加雅思考试估计8分以上不成问题。 Mitbbs.com

核心词汇解析

assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt. (站在一旁来) 协助

press con. = press conference 新闻发布会

press free. = press freedom 言论自由

press 是“压”的意思，怎么会变成“新闻”，“言论”呢？

因为最初的报纸都是油墨印刷,需要把纸紧紧的压在刻版上才能印刷出字来.所以press有了一个引申意:n.出版业,印刷业. 出版印刷业不就是发布新闻和言论的阵地吗? Mitbbs.com

obligation n.义务

investigation n.调查

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you.

施师傅是yale附近学车的通常的选择，他的车带副刹车，对于新手来说是一个很好的防备措施。

周六早上与李晓峰一起去学车，施师傅过来接了我们，然后到DMV所在地进行练习，学习了U turn，左转，右转等等，周日晚上，我又请邻居来指导，现在已经可以上路了，进行一些简单的操作没有问题，打算每天晚上王兄教我一段，

现在康州的几个规定是，笔试之后一个月必须进行路考，笔试是随到随考，路考是笔试通过后预约时间，通常可约到几天之后的时间。康州的规定是，没有驾照，不能上牌照，保险也会非常贵，所以我想尽快通过考试拿到驾照。

现在我也在寻找有关买车的信息，如果有朋友知道的，麻烦告诉一声。
