　　BOSTON – An adjunct professor was fired after leading a classroom discussion about the Virginia Tech shootings in which he pointed a marker at some students and said "pow."
　　
　　The five-minute demonstration at Emmanuel College on Wednesday, two days after a student killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus, included a discussion of gun control, whether to respond to violence with violence, and the public’s "celebration of victimhood," said the professor, Nicholas Winset.
　　
　　During the demonstration, Winset pretended to shoot some students. Then one student pretended to shoot Winset to illustrate his point that the gunman might have been stopped had another student or faculty member been armed.
　　
　　"A classroom is supposed to be a place for academic exploration," Winset, who taught financial accounting, told the Boston Herald.
　　
　　He said administrators had asked the faculty to engage students on the issue. But on Friday, he got a letter saying he was fired and ordering him to stay off campus.
　　
　　Winset, 37, argued that the Catholic liberal arts school was stifling free discussion by firing him, and he said the move would have a "chilling effect" on open debate. He posted an 18-minute video on the online site YouTube defending his action.
　　
　　The college issued a statement saying: "Emmanuel College has clear standards of classroom and campus conduct, and does not in any way condone the use of discriminatory or obscene language."
　　
　　Student Junny Lee, 19, told The Boston Globe that most students didn’t appear to find Winset’s demonstration offensive.

Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2000 years ago. Over this long period of time, three styles of gardens came into being: the imperial garden, the temple garden and the private garden. Among them, the most famous imperial garden extant today is the Summer Palace in Beijing, while the private gardens south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River boast a unique ambience of their own. Scattered through Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places, the private gardens are mostly legacies from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Each resembling a landscape painting, they are of unmatched charm.

　　Another filmmaker might have used Morpurgo’s book as the backdrop for a story about the toll and horrors of war.But Spielberg ,who has devoted as many movies to historical conflicts as he has to aliens and suburbs,didn’t think of War Horse that way.His approach was far simpler and purer,which explains why some critics are already grumbling about the film being too schmaltzy and saccharine.
　　”The war is the cause and the effect of the separation between boy and horse,”Spielberg says.”but what the story is really about is the personality of that horse and the determination and courage of that boy.This is a movie about how people are profoundly affected by animals in the middle of a horrible war.”

　　When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school.
　　You tanked her by screaming, ‘I’m not going!’
　　When you were 7 years old, she bought you a baseball.
　　You tanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbor’s window.
　　When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream.

Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!! She will be there for you…to listen to your woes, your bragging, your frustrations, etc.
　　Ask yourself…have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her ‘blues’ of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?
　　Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers.
　　Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.
　　Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her…

It can seem like it’s your mom’s job to mortify you. But a new wave of moms is doing more than making you blush: They act so sexy and flirtatious, they make you question their judgment — and your own sanity.
　　When Bri, 16, started high school, she thought it was cool that her mom was so much fun to hang out with. "My parents got divorced when I was 6, but high school is when it actually started to seem like a good thing — I was grateful to have a mom who wanted to shop at the same places and see the same movies I was into," she says. "I felt like we suddenly had so much in common, and I could tell her anything and she’d understand." But after a few months of sharing clothes and gossip, things started to take a turn for the worse: Bri’s mom went from shopping at the same stores as Bri did…to flirting with the same guys. "Now I can’t go anywhere without her flirting with every guy she meets. One of her recent boyfriends was 23. After that, she started going to my brother’s hockey games to flirt with his coach — who’s 12 years younger than she is — and they started dating." Bri says she wishes her mom would change — but not because it embarrasses her in front of her friends. "The truth is that my friends think my mom is so cool and pretty, and my guy friends think she’s sexy. My ex-boyfriend used to joke about getting with her! But I don’t want my crushes crushing on my mom. I feel like I have to keep her away from my new boyfriend to keep him from paying more attention to her than to me."
　　Bri’s mom is the perfect example of a cougar: an older woman who’s into (and almost seems to hunt down!) way younger
　　guys. Lots of girls say their moms are on a cougar kick too: Meghan, 17, says her 46-year-old mom dated the same guy who’d dated one of her 18-year-old friends; Hunter, 18,
　　sometimes feels as if her friends like her cougar mom more than they like her; and Jessica, 16, reports that ever since her parents got divorced last year, her mom "dresses up in short skirts and dates guys who are barely 25, then tells me everything about her sex life. It’s so awkward." The
　　truth is that you want to be open with your mom — but it feels unsettling if she’s that open with you.
　　
　　Cougar Nation
　　
　　Of course, not all cougar moms — in real life or in Hollywood — have completely crossed the line. Take Courteney Cox’s character, Jules, on Cougar Town: She’s the
　　kind of mom who, like so many out there, get out of a bad marriage and just want to look and feel their best. Maybe the cougar mom you know got married young and never
　　had a chance to date around. Or maybe since her kids are busy with school and their own social lives and don’t need her as much anymore, she needs something to fill her
　　time. All that freedom also explains why she has more time to take care of herself — shopping, working out, Botoxing…whatever it takes to look and feel young. "My mom had me at a young age and had to step up to the plate and take care of me. Now that I’m older, my mom loves to party, shop, and
　　date, and I don’t have a problem with it," says De’Junique, 17. "It’s nice to have a mom who’s young and outgoing. I call her my Triple Threat — she’s a mom, a best friend,
　　and like a sister. I can tell her anything, and even my friends tell her personal stuff."
　　
　　Wild Cougars
　　
　　Still, girls who are cool with cougar moms are the exception: The majority of girls who shared their stories with Seventeen wished their moms would change their
　　embarrassing ways. Take Erica, 17. After her parents split up two years ago, her mom dyed her hair blonde and started wearing clothes "so tight they could be mistaken
　　for a second skin." But that wasn’t as traumatizing as what she says her mom started doing next: partying all night at
　　clubs and sometimes not even coming home.
　　After a few months, Erica says her mom even drained Erica’s college tuition money to buy herself breast implants. "One night, a friend called to tell me she saw my mom leave a club with some guy," Erica says.
　　"Hours after the call, my mom still wasn’t home, so I made my dad drive around town with me to look for her — I was worried she could be hurt or in an accident." When Erica arrived at the club to look for her mom, she found her — in a car, hooking up with a guy who’d recently graduated from
　　Erica’s high school! "I was so humiliated and angry. I shouldn’t have to be a 17-year-old babysitting a 40-year-old woman.
　　It’s not cool at all to have a cougar mom. I feel totally robbed of being a teenager."

England and Fabio Capello’s 100% record came to an end on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat to the Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk.
　　英格兰和卡佩罗百战不败的记录于上周六结束，在第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克。
　　Since England have already qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the result was academic.
　　由于英格兰队已经晋级2010年在南非的世界杯，其结果是形式上的。
　　England’s problems began in the 13th minute of the game when goalkeeper Robert Green fouled the Ukraine’s Artem Milevskiy in the penalty box.
　　 英格兰队的问题在比赛第13分钟时开始了，门将罗伯特#格林犯规。
　　The referee first decided to show a red card to English defender Rio Ferdinand, before changing his mind and sending Green off and awarding a penalty to the Ukraine.
　　裁判首先决定出示红牌给英格兰的后卫费迪南德，后来又改变主意。
　　Despite sending James the wrong way, Ex-Chelsea player Andriy Schevchenko missed his penalty, hitting the woodwork and provoking an angry response from the home fans.
　　前切尔西队的球员舍甫琴科错失了他的罚球，击中门框，并激起了主场球迷的愤怒反应。
　　The crowd problems nearly ended the game early, and an announcement had to be made at half-time saying that if the trouble continued, the referee would abandon the game.
　　人群的问题几乎要使比赛结束，中场休息时作出宣布说，如果问题继续下去，裁判将放弃比赛。
　　However, the England players refused to blame the crowd’s flare throwing for their poor performance.
　　不过，英格兰球员拒绝指责人群投掷燃烧棒。
　　"It is part and parcel of it. Did it affect the performance? I don’t think so."
　　“这是一部分，它的组成部分。它是否影响表现？我不这么认为。”
　　However, one person who did not take such a philosophical view of the game was England’s fiery manager Fabio Capello.
　　但是，一个没有从哲学角度看问题的人是英国队的主教练卡佩罗。
　　Capello, let fly at the referee with a four-minute rant at the end of the game.
　　Speaking to reporters later, Capello said: "I never speak about referees but this time the mistake is too big!"
　　卡佩罗，对裁判大发雷霆，伴随着在比赛结束时四分钟的怒吼。
　　后来接受记者采访时，卡佩罗说：“我从来没有想过说裁判，但这次的错误太大了！”

BEIJING, China (CNN) — Japan’s ambassador has called on the Chinese government to take stronger measures to protect its citizens as thousands of protesters demand a boycott of Japanese products and shout anti-Japanese slogans.
　　
　　The protests are aimed at Japan’s bid to become a permanent U.N. Security Council member and have been made more emotional by Chinese objections to how Japanese school textbooks recount Japan’s 20th century military campaigns.
　　
　　Sunday’s protest by about 20,000 protesters in two cities in the southern Guangdong province followed Saturday’s angry demonstration at Japan’s embassy in Beijing.
　　
　　About 10,000 Chinese surrounded Japan’s consulate in Guangzhou, capital of the Guangdong province, carrying anti-Japanese banners and Chinese flags while they sang, shouted and chanted. Several Japanese flags were burned.
　　
　　About 10,000 Chinese also marched on a Japanese department store in the city of Shenzhen, also in the Guangdong province.
　　
　　Japanese press attache Ide Keiji told reporters Sunday that Japan’s envoy Koreshige Anami talked by phone with Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister and called Saturday’s protest, in which rocks and bottles were thrown at the Japanese embassy, “gravely regrettable.“
　　
　　Ambassador Anami also asked the Chinese government to take all necessary measures to protect Japanese citizens in China, Ide said.
　　
　　The Japanese spokesman said the Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister expressed regret on behalf of his government for the Saturday protest and said the Chinese government could not allow it to happen again.
　　
　　The protests are targeted at Japan’s bid to become a permanent U.N. Security Council member and have been made more emotional by Chinese objections to how Japanese school textbooks recount Japan’s 20th century military campaigns.
　　
　　The protesters in Beijing Saturday chanted anti-Japanese slogans, sang patriotic songs, waved Chinese flags and carried banners critical of Japan.
　　
　　Some protesters threw rocks and plastic water bottles toward the embassy gate. The messages included a call for China to boycott Japanese products.
　　
　　Hundreds of military police in riot gear lined up outside the embassy, while hundreds more police blocked nearby streets to keep the number of protesters down. Police moved in to end the protest after about an hour.
　　
　　It was the biggest protest in the Chinese capital since 1999 when angry crowds demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy after three Chinese were killed when the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, in what was then the Yugoslav capital, was accidentally bombed.
　　
　　That came during the NATO air war against the Serb-led forces in the Serbian province of Kosovo, where Serbs and ethnic Albanians had been fighting.

A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.
　　
　　As he got out, a truck passed too close and tore off the door on the driver’s side.
　　
　　The lawyer immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
　　
　　Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined no matter what the body shop did to it.
　　
　　When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.
　　
　　“I can not believe how materialistic you lawyers are,“ the cop said. “You are so focused on your possessions that you don’t notice anything else.“
　　
　　“How can you say such a thing?“ asked the lawyer.
　　
　　The cop replied, “Don’’t you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you.“

we all know that "calling the shots" means making decision, and we all heard about that US president George W. Bush bragging about he is the decider while VP Dick Cheney is actually calling the shots.
　　
　　here is true story about "calling the shot" literally.
　　
　　it was 1932, in the 5th inning, game 3 of world series, Babe Ruth was at the plate with a 2-2 count. hearing enough bad-mouthing from bench players of Chicago Cubs, he pointed toward centerfield. on the next pitch he saw, Ruth blasted it into deep center field for a home run, silencing the Cubs dugout, and thus giving birth to the legend of "called shot".

1)I must admit I fought the temptation to say ,"don’t bother me-I’ve had rotten day,I want to watch the telly and my job is all-important now and I want to relax.
　　2)The temptation is strong to lump all Americans together.(People have a strong tendency to think of all the Americans as all alike.)

English is Tough Stuff
　　
　　Dearest creature in creation
　　Study English pronunciation.
　　I will teach you in my verse
　　Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
　　I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
　　Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
　　Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
　　So shall I: Oh hear my prayer.
　　
　　Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
　　Dies and diet, lord and word,
　　Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
　　(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
　　Now I surely will not plague you
　　With such words as plaque and ague.
　　But be careful how you speak:
　　Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
　　Cloven, oven, how and low,
　　Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
　　
　　Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
　　Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
　　Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
　　Exiles, similes and reviles;
　　Scholar, vicar, and cigar.
　　Solar, mica, war and far;
　　One, anemone, Balmoral
　　Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
　　Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
　　Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
　　
　　Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
　　Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
　　Blood and flood are not like food,
　　Nor is mould like should and would.
　　Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
　　Toward, to forward, to reward.
　　And your pronunciation’s OK
　　When you correctly say croquet,
　　Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
　　Friend and fiend, alive and live.
　　
　　Ivy, privy, famous; clamor
　　And enamour rhyme with hammer.
　　River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
　　Doll and droll and some and home.
　　Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
　　Neither does devour with clangor.
　　Soul but foul, haunt but aunt,
　　Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
　　Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
　　And then singer, ginger, linger,
　　Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
　　Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
　　
　　Query does not rhyme with very,
　　Nor does fury sound like bury.
　　Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
　　Job, knob, bosom, transom, oath.
　　Through the differences seem little,
　　We say actual, but also victual.
　　Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
　　Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
　　Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
　　Dull, bull, and George ate late.
　　Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
　　Science, Conscience, scientific.
　　
　　Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
　　Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
　　We say hallowed, but allowed,
　　People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
　　Mark the differences, moreover,
　　Between mover, cover, clover;
　　Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
　　Chalice, but police and lice;
　　Camel, constable, unstable,
　　Principle, disciple, label.
　　
　　Petal, panel, and canal,
　　Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
　　Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
　　Senator, spectator, mayor.
　　Tour, but our and succor, four.
　　Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
　　Sea, idea, Korea, area,
　　Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
　　Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
　　Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
　　
　　Compare alien with Italian,
　　Dandelion and battalion.
　　Sally with ally, yea, ye.
　　Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
　　Say aver, but ever, fever,
　　Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
　　Heron, granary, canary.
　　Crevice and device and aerie.
　　
　　Face, but preface, not efface.
　　Phlegm, phlegmatic, brass, glass, bass.
　　Large, but target, gin, give, verging.
　　Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
　　Ear, but earn and wear and tear
　　Do not rhyme with here, but ere.
　　Seven is right, but so is even,
　　Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
　　Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
　　Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
　　
　　Pronunciation – think of Psyche!
　　Is it paling, stout and spiky?
　　Won’t it make you lose your wits,
　　Writing groats and saying grits?
　　It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
　　Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
　　Islington and Isle of Wight,
　　Housewife, verdict and indict.
　　
　　Finally, which rhymes with enough –
　　Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
　　Hiccough has the sound of cup.
　　My advise is to give it up!!!
