The State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television has heard your cries, and has answered. Following its widely acclaimed efforts last month to put a halt to the plague of live-action cartoons that were causing so much trouble for the development of the country's animation industry, the SARFT will be placing restrictions on the number of costume dramas that can be broadcast this year.
Wang Weiping, deputy director of SARFT's TV Drama Department, said at a planning conference that historical dramas on TV have serious problems with their historicity. Wang said that many adaptations have taken too great of liberties with their historical source material:
For example, historical figures or events with which everyone is familiar get adapted with too much fictionalization or too much mockery. Some adaptations completely distort history.
Of course, an artistic creation is not the same as a history textbook, and it is not really the history that occured. But during the process of commercialization, some adaptations of historical dramas have strayed very far from the truth of history. As a result, history is easily muddled; it provides young people especially with a very bad influence. Some other historical dramas have problems in the way they treat emperors, kings, generals, and ministers; they deviate to a degree in how they handle their position in history. Some parts of history are altered to be completely false, and are rendered very crassly. These must all be corrected.
Director Wang said that the administration would be increasing the proportion of dramas closer to reality - like last year's "Caught the Wrong Bus" (搭错车), a remake of a 1983 Taiwan tear-jerker, and "Nine Daughters in my Family" (家有九凤), a story everyone can relate to. Wang also spoke favorably of anti-Japanese themed war dramas. SARFT will also limit imported TV series, though Wang says that this is merely a consequence of the emphasis on war and real life.
The administration worked hard last year. The Beijing News summarizes the regulations: April 2005: Online gaming programs banned from TV; violent programs restricted from prime time; children's network set up; loose adaptation of "Red Classics" prohibited. May 2005: Vulgar content in costume dramas and teen idol soaps banned during prime time; TV hosts prohibited from using Hong Kong and Taiwan accents.
In an effort to protect users of its Google.cn Web site, Google is moving search records out of China and into the U.S., a company executive said this week......The company has decided to store search records from the site outside of the country in order to prevent China's government from being able to access the data without Google's consent, said Peter Norvig, Google's director of research, speaking Monday at a panel discussion at Santa Clara University. "We didn't want to be in the position of having to hand over these kinds of records to the government," he said.
Google retains information on the search queries performed by its users, along with the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses associated with queries, to better understand how its search engine is being used, Norvig said.

And the wanted poster above, which calls for the woman to be beaten in the street or sent to a slaughterhouse, comes from a Southern Metropolis Daily article on the online response to the pictures.
Other papers across the country picked up the Beijing Morning Post article, and it appears that most felt it appropriate to print the images carried in that article, although the final few bloody images are (thankfully) still too much for the print media.

屈辰晨：出版博客化，迟到的约会？ - 屈辰晨 - 新浪BLOG 从博客的形式看，作者和读者的互动性比传统网站更强。比起过去的一些网络发表模式，博客作者拥有较强的信息自主权，因此，博客的出现直接导致了又一轮网络写作的热潮。
从博客内容上看，“博客写作”为图书出版提供了新的产品和创意素材，博客与图书出版行业良好嫁接的核心便是博客内容必须具备出版质量。“博客内容写作”一般比较随意（个人自由表达），在某种程度上这是对出版前景的考验。 (tags: blog 出版 博客)

这是今天讨论的PPT，主要内容是介绍“基于信息噪音模型的分类算法”，这个算法是通过训练集得到类向量，然后再对样本进行逐个检验。
因为前几次去的人比较多，因此还是先了解一下主题为好。如果有问题可以在这里提出来。
年初的时候在品牌几何论坛里有提到《自我》这本书，想不到有一些朋友还很感兴趣，而且有的朋友也看过，还推荐了一整套。于是小容前些时候陆续又买了两本回来。
全套书的清单如下：
社会心理学精品译丛书（第一辑）
《自我》 乔纳森·布朗 著
《决策与判断》 斯科特·普劳斯 著
《亲密关系》 莎伦·布雷姆 等著作
《探索社会心理学》 戴维·迈尔斯 著
《态度改变与社会影响》 菲利普·津巴多 等著
《文化心理学读本》 钟年 彭凯平 编
旧的贴里有提到了将《自我》这本书当做是"个人品牌"的参考读物。而《决策与判断》则可以和管理密切关联起来。
《亲密关系》提到了严肃的“关系科学”，如果你是SNS的研究人员，建议你去买一本来看看，想必这本书一定会你带来很多启迪。
