2.保持学习的状态， 保持积极向上的生活态度；

3. 多多锻炼身体；

4. 看书，看电影，多拍照片，钻研厨艺，好好生活。

在Chicago, Obama 的演说同样让人印象深刻， “To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn — I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too”.

———–

JOHN MCCAIN: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.

(APPLAUSE)

My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.

(BOOING)

Please.

To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.

This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.

I’ve always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too.

But we both recognize that, though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation’s reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.

A century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt’s invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House was taken as an outrage in many quarters.

America today is a world away from the cruel and frightful bigotry of that time. There is no better evidence of this than the election of an African-American to the presidency of the United States.

Let there be no reason now…

(APPLAUSE)

Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this, the greatest nation on Earth.

(APPLAUSE)

Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country. I applaud him for it, and offer him my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day. Though our faith assures us she is at rest in the presence of her creator and so very proud of the good man she helped raise.

Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain.

These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.

I urge all Americans…

(APPLAUSE)

I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that.

(APPLAUSE)

It is natural. It’s natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: (OFF-MIKE)

We fought — we fought as hard as we could. And though we feel short, the failure is mine, not yours.

AUDIENCE: No!

MCCAIN: I am so…

AUDIENCE: (CHANTING)

MCCAIN: I am so deeply grateful to all of you for the great honor of your support and for all you have done for me. I wish the outcome had been different, my friends.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: We do, too (OFF-MIKE)

MCCAIN: The road was a difficult one from the outset, but your support and friendship never wavered. I cannot adequately express how deeply indebted I am to you.

I’m especially grateful to my wife, Cindy, my children, my dear mother…

(APPLAUSE)

… my dear mother and all my family, and to the many old and dear friends who have stood by my side through the many ups and downs of this long campaign.

I have always been a fortunate man, and never more so for the love and encouragement you have given me.

You know, campaigns are often harder on a candidate’s family than on the candidate, and that’s been true in this campaign.

All I can offer in compensation is my love and gratitude and the promise of more peaceful years ahead.

I am also — I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I’ve ever seen…

(APPLAUSE)

… one of the best campaigners I have ever seen, and an impressive new voice in our party for reform and the principles that have always been our greatest strength…

(APPLAUSE)

… her husband Todd and their five beautiful children…

(APPLAUSE)

… for their tireless dedication to our cause, and the courage and grace they showed in the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign.

We can all look forward with great interest to her future service to Alaska, the Republican Party and our country.

(APPLAUSE)

To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly, month after month, in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much. A lost election will never mean more to me than the privilege of your faith and friendship.

I don’t know — I don’t know what more we could have done to try to win this election. I’ll leave that to others to determine. Every candidate makes mistakes, and I’m sure I made my share of them. But I won’t spend a moment of the future regretting what might have been.

This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.

(BOOING)

Please. Please.

I would not — I would not be an American worthy of the name should I regret a fate that has allowed me the extraordinary privilege of serving this country for a half a century.

half a century.

Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much. And tonight, I remain her servant. That is blessing enough for anyone, and I thank the people of Arizona for it.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: USA. USA. USA. USA.

Tonight — tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama — whether they supported me or Senator Obama.

I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.

Americans never quit. We never surrender.

(APPLAUSE)

We never hide from history. We make history.

Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you all very much.

RutgersBBS. 建站念头的萌生其实已经是四五个月前的事。08年5月12日汶川大地震，Rutgers的志愿者反应迅速，在24小时内建立起weRUnited网站（目前存档链接www.weRUnited.net/blog），通过网络平台调动了RU社区以及大纽约地区华人对国难的关注。We R United, 团结在一起，我们才能显示出力量。weRUnited逐渐安静，建立RU网络社区的念头也逐渐萌生。每年有过百的中国新生远渡重洋，来到Rutgers探求另一段人生旅途，在这里留下欢笑，泪水，然后离开，周而复始。你也许会爱上这个地方，也许是恨，或者是毫无感觉，但不可否认，在Rutgers的几年将会是你人生中最重要的几年。

其实远不用这么严肃。RutgersBBS的建立初衷是为了给RU学生学者，以及周边华人提供一个交流的平台。RCSSA官方统计中国学生学者千人，不是每个人都习惯于用古老的email list 单一渠道交流所有信息。你也许想表达你的一些观点，也许想找到志趣相投的玩伴，也许想更清晰的看到一些交易信息，那么就请一起来建设RutgersBBS。

创建RutgersBBS的技术策略也曾有过反复。最后决定选用Discuz!论坛系统，是考虑到大多数用户更依赖于Web界面，以及其具有可扩展性的优势。如果您是mitbbs或是水木清华的资深玩家，依赖于telnet登录模式，那我们对于改变您的阅读习惯而深表抱歉，也请您理解。

RUWEB网络小组的成立目的，与其说是出于对网络技术的着迷，不如说是对RU社区的热爱。网络技术的最终服务对象是人，以人为本，以社区为本，也是我们走到一起的宗旨。RUWEB在推出交流论坛（BBS）和网络家园（HOME）服务后，会有计划的推出一系列服务和项目，敬请关注。我们也随时欢迎您加入我们的团队，不管是擅长美工，还是技术，或者仅仅是对我们有更好的建议，都请尽快联系我们。

感谢！

分析现状表明 ，Biotech/Pharma研发药物投入大，周期长，风险高，竞争激烈，并且从Academia到Industry的转化率低。来自Genzyme的EVP说，他的儿子在UC Berkley研究Autism的molecular mechanism，但他认为他儿子做的都是”Nuts”. 美国人口语里总是说什么是Nuts，我理解就是bullshit之意。随即有学生站出来感慨一通，说Bio PhD的学生毕业出路还是改行去读Law School好了。全场响起无奈的笑声。想起关于“生物的世纪”的振奋口号，居高不下的专业高考分数线，遍布北美高校的万年生物Postdoc，劝退声一片的某BBS某版，让人悲凉。原来美国学生也有类似的感受。

当然也意识到存在但未曾发现的一些机会和资源。会后和Marc, Ji吹牛，一致认为笼络资源的最佳方式就是把自己放在HUB的位置上…主动争取，积极用脑，机会总是有的。

两家生产型企业的副总都不约而同的谈到中国。Epizyme那位讲中国作为廉价临床数据的提供者的地位不会一成不变。Genzyme那位说他今年某training program招的人（似乎是8个），有一半是中国人。当然Genzyme在上海，香港都有分部了。他另外提到中国的教育模式，即越来越多的中国人来美国接受教育，再回国教育下一代中国人，这将在很大程度上拉近中美两国的教育模式上的差别，并且这将成为一个趋势。

好吧，继续BIO吧，痛并快乐着。

领导人的演讲似乎都会含有些标志性的话语，温总说“居官不避难，我只要在位一天，决不逃避任何困难”，众人掌声雷动，经久不息。让人联想到朱镕基答记者问时那句话。当时我想这句话一定会被报道引用，果不其然。见这里。

抵达Waldorf前的行车路线被临时更改，可惜了等待在Park Ave一侧舞动红旗的上千支持者，阵势又让人联想到几个月前在Foley Square的几次爱国集会。温总车队从Lexington Ave绕道，在他强烈要求下下车与部分群众握手，符合其一贯亲民形象。温在Facebook上的支持者甚众，似乎是排名第六的政治人物，之前都是美国的总统级人物。网民对其有专用的亲切称呼，中国人民很少用调侃的语气称呼国家领导人，看来是深得民心。温在媒体上露面有很大部分时候都是在灾难现场。洪水，煤矿，地震，等等，包括最近的“奶粉”事件，亲民，也更加增添了他的悲情形象。

中国的国家领导人，在我眼里从来都只是一个公众形象，一言一行，始终是代表着一个群体。这个形象，也许只是一种被塑造的政治姿态而已。可作为一个自然人，在这些头衔和身份的背后，他们的言行，想法和他们的公众形象又有多少出入和关联呢？还是说身在其位，就只能用这样的模式来思考，行动？这算是一种牺牲么？

也许当我这么想的时候，中国的政治气氛已经在不断的缓和了。希望祖国越来越好。

附：当日温总在Waldorf接受CNN采访的视频。

今晚在TJ宿舍吃晚饭，偶然谈起7年前的911，军训时的我们，仰着头在食堂里看911的新闻报道，迷彩队服，黝黑而稚嫩的脸庞，历历在目。

时不我待，际遇在一转眼都会过去。

放下一些包袱，希望走得更清晰，更坚定一些。
