12/30/2007 Where did all the bad boys go?
12/12/2007 我们没有严格意义上的新闻主播——访中国青年政治学院新闻传播系主任展江 人物周刊：新闻主播这一概念在国内外有什么区别？
中国的播音员其实就是“念稿员”。有的播音员连稿子都不太会写。一般都是广播学院播音专业出来的，发声、运气还可以，却缺乏思想，连采编的过程都不太熟悉，这些人几乎不做采访，除了偶尔陪国家领导人在机场等做一些仪式性的报道以外，他们不会到真正的新闻现场去。而国外的很多主播一年中会有一段时间采访新闻，去重大的新闻现场。很多主播在做主播之前大多有比较长的记者生涯，甚至于不同媒体的记者生涯，这是比较普遍的。去年去世的美国ABC的一个主播詹宁斯，他26岁当主播，因为是加拿大人，经常把美国的地名、历史弄错，他主动离开主播岗位，担任驻外记者，到了40岁又重返主播岗位。
12/9/2007 《新闻联播》连续三天试新人
康辉昨晚再度亮相《新闻联播》
海霞首次主持《新闻联播》
李梓萌第二次亮相《新闻联播》
昨天晚上7点，中央电视台男主播康辉时隔18个月之后，第二次作为主播再次亮相《新闻联播》节目，与女主播李瑞英搭档。这也是《新闻联播》连续三天出现新面孔，其中，央视新闻频道主持人海霞6日首次在《新闻联播》中亮相，与罗京搭档主持，第二天，《新闻联播》继续贯彻以老带新政策，去年亮相过一次的李梓萌与罗京搭档主持。
需要接班人不要变革者
2006年6月5日晚，《新闻联播》给了观众一个惊喜，出现了康辉、李梓萌两位新主播全新搭档，不过第二晚就换回了邢质斌和王宁两位老主播，至此新面孔再也没有出现。
6日和7日连续两晚带新人的男主播罗京透露，这段时间台里都会给新人机会“锻炼”，为明年《新闻联播》创办30年纪念做准备。至于新人“上位”是否会影响到邢质斌等老主播的位置，罗京很明确地表示：“任何一个节目都有新生力量储备的过程，播音员是特殊人才，应该区别于普通行业到了一定年龄就退休的做法。”
但央视新闻中心的一位负责人透露，《新闻联播》的确在寻找新的接班人，所以目前新人都是“试用期”。他称，其实更希望观众关注《新闻联播》内容的变化。因为主持人再如何改变，也不能改变《新闻联播》自身庄重、大气的风格，这种风格是由栏目的定位和观众的需要决定的，这也决定了这个节目需要的是接班人，而不是变革者。
海霞首次亮相评价高
6日晚海霞突然出现在《新闻联播》节目中，在给观众带来惊喜外，也获得绝大多数观众的肯定，认为她“音色清亮且富有激情，而且一直从事播报新闻工作，应该是栏目组考虑的上佳人选。”
另外在各大论坛上，许多观众觉得海霞的“处女秀”要比李梓萌“二轮秀”表现得更好，而网友给出的打分也是海霞以平均分80分高过李梓萌。
不过在肯定之余，不少观众也提出疑问，“海霞会不会像康、李一样只是昙花一现”？对此，央视新闻中心的负责人表示，海霞的出现不会意味着现任主持人的退出，“现在还不能证明什么，海霞能否继续主持要看观众的反应，也要看台里的意见。”

《新闻联播》历届主持人
《新闻联播》是世界上收视人数最多的电视新闻节目之一。曾经担当过《新闻联播》主播的有李娟、赵忠祥、薛飞、杜宪、杨柳、贺红梅、康辉、李梓萌；现任主播则有罗京、李瑞英、张宏民、邢质斌、李修平、王宁。 12/6/2007 The Best Posters Of 2007 #20 - Knocked Up - Seth Rogen was a revelation here. This poster plays to the new talent brilliantly, bolstering the appeal with a great strap line.
 #19 - Death Proof - Tarantino's chase flick is loaded with the retro cool we've come to expect from QT.
 #18 - The Bourne Ultimatum - Making Matt Damon look intimidating is quite a challenge. But the Bourne team pulled it off magnificently here.
 #17 - Michael Clayton - A brilliant poster for legal thriller Michael Clayton. The outline of George Clooney is unmistakable even when he's out of focus.
 #16 - The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford - This image of Brad Pitt standing pensively in a corn field was around months before the release. The lingering presence of Casey Affleck in the background immediately captures the mood.
 #15 - 3:10 To Yuma - A tip of the hat to the Sergio Leone era of classic westerns, this poster looks as if it belongs outside a wild west salloon.
 #14 - Apocalypto - Mel Gibson's Apocalypto was full of striking images. This one brilliantly sets the tone for the brutal pursuit through the Mayan jungle.
 #13 - Lions For Lambs - The film was cripplingly dull. But the people who made the poster knew where its strengths lay - the cast. Simple, effective and bolstered by another great strap line.
 #12 - Rocky Balboa - Mirroring a key moment in the first Rocky movie, this poster plays on our fond nostalgia for the Italian Stallion.
 #11 - I Am Legend - The film isn't with us until the new year. But this poster, boasting a magnificent post-apocalyptic cityscape, has been instrumental in generating a healthy buzz.
 #10 - 28 Week's Later - The simplicity of this one is fantastic: five words, one symbol, job done...
 #9 - Hot Fuzz - The geeky joy of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's West Country cop movie is stepped up magnificently by this poster campaign.
 #8 - Smokin' Aces - It may not have been the smartest of shootout flicks, but we loved the bullet motif on the Smokin' Aces poster.
 #7 - Transformers - Released a full 12 months prior to the film, this poster had us counting down the days to Transformers.
 #6 - Waitress - A smart and hugely underrated romantic comedy, Waitress is represented perfectly here. It just makes us want to eat pie.
 #5 - Black Sheep - This may just be the best tag line in the history of cinema. Okay it probably isn't actually, but we just love this one-sheet for horror comedy Black Sheep.
 #4 - This Is England - One Of The Best Films Of The Year was matched by some perfectly fitting art work. The characters and the corrugated iron capture the essence of Shane Meadows' 80s journey into the Britain of yesteryear.
 #3 - Spider-Man 3 - The result was ultimately a disappointment. But this poster campaign was simply stunning.
 #2 - 30 Days Of Night - Starring Josh Hartnett, this vampire flick needed to prove that it wasn't just another lame re-run of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This terrifying image set it apart nicely.
 #1 - 300 - The film remained faithful to Frank Miller's stunning comic book. And so did this eye-catching poster campaign. The vertigo-inducing image captures the cartoon heroics of the Spartans brilliantly and the font, blood-spatters and all, sets it all off perfectly. A clear winner for us.
11/24/2007 Why TV Talent Shows Are Killing Pop Music
At the time of writing there sits - at number one in the charts and at number one in our hearts - Leona Lewis, winner of last year's X Factor and set to be a very big international star over the coming year. And while there's normally no shortage of detractors decrying those whose fleeting fame was decided by phone ballot, no one seems to mind Leona.
Despite coming from the critically frowned upon reality TV show format, people who'd cross the road to spit in Journey South's chiselled faces are wishing her well. Because, to quote the received wisdom, "she's got real talent."
Even over at the Spice Girls fan forum, they're happy to concede that she deserves to be higher in the charts than their returning heroines, again because "she's got talent." The public have decided and they have decided this is her moment.
And it's shows like X Factor, its predecessor Pop Idol and the not-on-anymore Fame Academy that have defined this very notion of talent so that almost all music we listen to, subconsciously or not, now passes through our own internal judging panel. There's a little Louis Walsh in all of us.
This is a terrible state of affairs since it is essentially leading to the death of pop in all but name. Where once the class loner/show off/freak could take their aspirations and turn them into big shiny musical dreams, uninhibited by classical concepts of ability and therefore free to dazzle, challenge and shock.
Now, one has to perform Olympian feats of vocal prowess, all the while being followed by cameras to capture your mad granny's every shriek of gum-bearing delight as you graduate to the next stage of the competition (thanks to the previous contestant being outed as a violent 47-year-old drug mule).
And the result has been, for the most part, a bland, homogenised product with a heartlessly short shelf life (where art Danny from Hear'say now?)
And while exception-that-proves-the-rule, Girls Aloud, are left to carry the flickering torch for what we remember as pop, the rest of the music industry, in reaction to the transparency of the reality TV process, delivers us a host of uninspired, identikit, but most definitely 'real' groups, playing in what's become paradoxically known as the 'indie' style, elevated to a status above and beyond anything their dismal output deserves, merely for what they represent.
The concept of 'alternative' music is literally back with a vengeance. And the ugly carnage of the war is Fearne Cotton waxing lyrical on Radio One over 'new music' because, to her, a crappy band from MySpace is worth a million Michelle McManuses (that is unless she's presenting the ITV2 coverage, of course).
Add to that the unstoppable proliferation of singer songwriters following in the drippy footsteps of James Blunt and Katie Melua who, when compared to Ray Quinn (and his junior swing) take on Dylanesque like importance in a musical world perceived, wrongly, by the general public to be dominated by talent show wannabes, manipulated by a sneering, comedy trouser-wearing svengali.
And the mentors themselves aren't immune to the whiff of authenticity. Remember Sharon Osbourne fawning over the raw rock power of Tabby? Or that buffoon Peter Brame, flidding about the Fame Academy stage like Thom Yorke trying to scratch an unreachable itch? Vocal coach Carrie Grant could barely contain her joy at his bringing such tangible credibility to their television programme.
These people will soil every musical concept you hold dear. It can only be a matter of time before an X Factor boy band performs an a cappella reading of 'Up The Bracket' and an entire generation of indie kids commit hara-kiri in despair.
But even to the purest of musical souls, these shows are addictive. Perhaps we only tune in to howl with derision at the self-deluded, semi-autistic, tone-deaf auditionees. Maybe we only watch for the dry-as-dust Cowell put-downs and find ourselves inadvertently hooked by the soap opera of it all.
But for whatever reason, the longer these shows go on, the longer and more irreversible the cultural harm. Unless you're a Westlife-buying idiot, none of your favourite singers, past or present, would have made it through to boot camp under the guidelines of these shows.
Could John Lennon sing? He mostly shouted. Could Johnny Rotten sing? More a sneer set to music. Bob Dylan – blow your nose. Janis Joplin – clear your throat. And while we're at it, you ever heard Madonna sustain a note, or Kylie for that matter?
And we all 'know' the Spice Girls can't sing because the tabloids remind us on a daily basis. But they're looking at a world tour and 17 sold out shows at the O2 Arena. Not bad for talentless.
Because all of these people are great rock and pop stars precisely because they didn't sound or behave like anyone else; precisely because they used the perceived flaws in their voice to create unique and hugely successful records.
Everyone capable of passing breath through their vocal folds (they're not chords – look at a picture) can sing. Whether anyone likes the resulting sound is purely subjective judgement and one we shouldn't allow to be influenced by the man who once announced that Girl Thing (remember them?) would be bigger than the Spice Girls, the man who brought you Boyzone (they're back), a woman who admits to sending her and her children's poo to people in envelopes, and the lovely Dannii Minogue who we'll leave out of this on account of being lovely.
Because singing isn't about purity of tone. It isn't about melisma (the singing of several notes on one syllable that Leona, Mariah and Whitney do so revoltingly). It isn't about that breathy 'sincere' sound that Shayne Ward does so smugly.
It's about the individual sound a person makes which stamps their identity on a song and has, since it began, made pop the thrilling, divisive, unpredictable, controversial, ecumenical entity that, at some point in our childhood, changed our lives.
Musical reality TV shows attempt to deny all those variables and define pop by their own clueless, tasteless parameters and by doing so risk killing pop music forever and inadvertently creating all manner of ugly, reactive beasts, in the process.
That's not to say that manufactured boy bands can't be fantastic or that girl groups can't be a political force. A great artist doesn't even have to write their own songs to be great. But a panel of old millionaires should not get to decide what's good and what's bad. Because there are no rules in music, except your own. 11/22/2007 Historical sights in UK------London Tower Bridge伦敦塔桥 London Bridge is falling,falling down. I bet everyone knows this song well. London Bridge is known as the symbol of London and also is one of the famous attrctions in UK.
Standing on the high level walkways of Tower Bridge, you can see St. Paul's Cathedral ,the London Eye and lots of very famous sights of London, so the view from up is absolutely fantastic. It has two Gothic towers, and the walkways span between the two towers. They were actually built to fit in with the Tower of London nearby, so that's why they're Gothic and looks a lot older. It's actually a Victorian structure and it was finished in 1894 .so it's actually a lot younger than people think it is. In old days London's River Thames had a lot of river traffic.So
river traffic has priority over road traffic.That's people have to wait when a boat is passing under the bridge,no matter how important the person inside the car..
Bill Clinton was actually stuck during a bridge lift, he couldn't get across and he was in the first car waiting for the bridge to lift. That was a few years ago now. So regardless of who is waiting it's always the boats that get through first.
He made it across safely in the end. But one year a London bus had a very frightening experience when it was crossing the bridge. The bridge started to rise with the bus going halfway up it. The driver had to make a split-second decision (一瞬之间作出决定）and decided to go for the jump, and bounced across to the other side. There were 16 passengers on the bus at the time who got bounced about, but there were no serious injuries. It can't happen today because it has got steel gates that close before the bridge can lift.
11/21/2007 Historical sights in UK---Madame Tussauds 杜莎夫人蜡像馆 Now in lots of big cities there is a place where you can meet lots of famous people and have your picture taken with them ,Brad Pitt,Beyonce, David Beckham, Johnny Depp.Well there's just one thing though you need to know…the famous people are made from wax.
Yeah,you got it.That's Madame Tussauds – an attraction where you can see wax figures ---likenesses of famous people, particular to the UK market but also internationally well-known like Hollywood celebrities, of lots of famous celebrities. This is a popular tourist attraction in London.Why is it so popular? I think there's always been traditionally a frisson when people get near to a famous person they normally wouldn't be able to and I think Madame Tussauds aims to tap into that. Maybe you are wondering which celebrity is causing the most excitement at Madame Tussauds at the moment? It's Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp's figure is absolutely spot on and this one just raises the bar in terms of likeness – and I think the whole experience around in the room – it's like a creaking pirate ship, the sights, the smells of a pirate ship. That's definitely the most popular from guest feedback as well.
Key words:
a frisson 因为激动而颤抖
to tap into something 是指借助--大做文章,借此发挥以达到预计的效果或目的。
be spot-on 到位
raise the bar 提高了水准
11/18/2007 10 Things Gangster Movies Have Taught Us…
1. Don’t betray the mob - If you want to mix with wise guys, the first law that needs to be recognised is the rule of silence (Omerta). This means that if you talk to the wrong people, you’re going to get whacked. For a particularly nasty example of what can happen, see the fate of Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather Part 1. Having married The Don’s daughter Connie, Carlo is in the family. But he gets on the wrong side of Sonny Corleone and takes a beating. Rather than dealing with it, Carlo goes to the rival Barzini family and gets Sonny killed. When Michael takes over the family, Carlo finds himself on the wrong end of a nasty garrotting incident.
2. Gangsters like swearing - There’s a scene in Casino where Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci meet up in the desert outside Vegas for an argument. In two minutes (we’ve timed it), the word ‘f*ck’ is said an extraordinary 21 times. Casino’s total usage of the f word tallies to an extraordinary 398. Goodfellas isn’t far behind on 300. If you want to get in with the mob, get with the foul language.
3. Don’t think too much of yourself - There are plentiful examples of wannabe gangsters thinking they’re all that and getting offed as a result. Genre new-guy American Gangster involves one such wannabe who thinks he’s big enough to rub Denzel Washington up the wrong way. Result: a bullet to the face. Joe Pesci made the same mistake in Casino, thinking he owned the whole of Vegas. He ended up being beaten to death in that notorious corn field scene.
4. Stay off the drugs - An excessive drug-fuelled lifestyle may seem like the ideal reward for a successful mobster. But the white powder will ultimately be your downfall. Exhibit A is, of course, Al Pacino as drug-lord Tony Montana in Scarface (1983). Blow (2001) sees Johnny Depp give us another great example of how bad things can turn when the drug party is over.
5. Try not to get shot in the stomach - As Mr Orange (Tim Roth) teaches us in Reservoir dogs, it’s really painful.
6. Don’t screw with Joe Pesci - Standing an entire five feet and four inches tall, Joe is probably the most vicious mobster that ever lived. Just look what happened to the guy who got killed with the pen in Casino, or the guy who mocks him in Goodfellas. They both regretted messing with Joe. Be warned!
7. If you’re a cop and you’re coming up to retirement. Watch out! - If you’re thinking of coming back for one last job before retiring, we seriously suggest you reconsider. Martin Scorsese gave us an archetypal example of this trend in The Departed (2006) when poor old Martin Sheen got chucked off a roof.
8. Don’t sit in the front seat of the car - Here’s a fact: the interior of a car is the most common setting for a murder scenes in the movies. For gangster flicks in particular, this is prime killing ground. It was treacherous bodyguard Paulie Gatto’s mistake in The Godfather. He should have known something was up when he saw Rocco Lampone sat in the seat behind him. Of course, you might also have a nasty crash like in Mean Streets (above).
9. If you’re gonna kill someone, kill them! - Revenge is a classic theme across the gangster genre. Wise guys are not the types to drop a vendetta so, if you’re going to go for someone, make sure the guy is good and dead. This is the undoing of Al Pacino’s character in Carlito’s Way when he fails to finish off Benny Blanco (John Leguizamo). It also pops up in The Godfather Part II when a younger Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) executes a long-term vendetta against Don Ciccio (Giuseppe Sillato).
10. Don’t start your car in a quiet car park at night - There’s probably a bomb in it. Historical Sights in UK---Piccadilly Circus Piccadilly Circus which is a traffic junction in the middle of London is surrounded by huge grand Victorian buildings.On some of the buildings there're huge neon signs advertising everything from tapes to electrical equipment to beer.
Piccadilly Circus was built in 1819 when the architect John Nash designed Regent Street and it was originally a roundabout joining the roads with a fountain in the middle – it’s not a roundabout anymore – it’s still a very big junction. Why is it such a famous place in London? It’s right in the middle of the West End ,there's great shops and everything near here – and the famous statue of the angel Eros on the fountain in the middle is what most people come to see. It’s amemorial to Lord Shaftesbury who in the 19th century helped abolish child labour in London and it’s actually of Anteros who is the Greek god of brotherly love but people in London have actually shortened it to Eros which is in fact the Greek God of sexual love.
