Goldman Sachs Internal Memo: The Cartoon Lounge : The New Yorker
Goldman Sachs Internal Memo
After all that federal aid, a resurgent Goldman Sachs is on course to dole out bonuses that could rival the record paydays of the heady bull-market years. Goldman… announced that it had earmarked $11.4 billion so far this year to compensate its workers. At that rate, Goldman employees could, on average, earn roughly $770,000 each this year.
Internal Memorandum No. 8121b
ATTN: Employees of Goldman Sachs
We did it. Bottom of the ninth, down by three, bases loaded, and we cranked another grand slam to the moon. They may have shot Lennon, but nothing can kill the Beatles.
I admit things looked bleak for a minute there. We had to convert to a bank holding company and were forced to accept a taxpayer bailout. It felt un-American. Terribly unbanksmanly. But we accepted the money, knowing that we could magically weave it into a much larger mountain of money.
We had a few hard months there, didn’t we? They regulated our corporate jet so that we could no longer use it to fly from hole to hole on the green. Dave had to drain his money pool to half capacity. I stopped injecting gold into my blood. They don’t call it a recession for nothing. One day, we’ll look back on the year we received only five-figure bonuses and laugh.
Wanting to celebrate our renewed success is natural, but it’s important that we don’t go crazy here. Remember, ten per cent of the non-bank country is unemployed, and even those who are working have “real” jobs, where payment is proportional to the creation of a “product” or a “service.” Those poor bastards. So I ask that, in celebrating our raping of the stock market, we show restraint in the following ways:
- Please limit high-fives and chest bumps to a dozen a day.
- Don’t wear your crowns, except around the office.
- Stop paying for things in Monopoly money—I understand it is the same as real money to us, but there have been some complaints.
- For now, let’s take down the giant scoreboard that reads “Main Street: zero. Wall Street: a billion gazillion bajillion.”
Furthermore, to avoid drawing criticism from the press, this year the bonuses, expected to be comically large, will be distributed in blood diamonds, which can be easily concealed in a briefcase so it looks like we’re working.
I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible—for a second time. Respect to President Obama for keeping us in the green. Thanks to the big guy upstairs (me). And let’s not forget all the ordinary Americans, who, for some unfathomable reason, have refused to put us behind bars. We are literally taking money out of their wallets. Seriously, with these returns we are making Madoff look like a little kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. Amateur!
Yours in money,
Lloyd Blankfein, C.E.O., Goldman Sachs

Publisher McGraw-Hill Looks to Sell BusinessWeek
Publisher McGraw-Hill Looks to Sell BusinessWeek
According to a recent report in the Financial Times, McGraw-Hill, which publishes BusinessWeek, has appointed a boutique investment bank to sell the 80-year-old financial magazine after determining that its business is non-core. The publisher could reap as little as $1 for the sale of the magazine, which has suffered severely declining advertising revenues in recent years, the FT report states.
According to the FT, McGraw-Hill has appointed boutique investment bank Evercore to sell BusinessWeek, although the publisher would only say that it was “exploring strategic options” for the magazine and Evercore did not return calls.
The Publisher’s Information Bureau reveals that BusinessWeek’s advertising revenues fell by a third to $77.8 million in the first half of 2009. Its circulation is 936,000, according to the magazine’s own reports.
Finding a buyer for the troubled magazine will be difficult in a recession, the FT reports. Publisher Condé Nast closed Portfolio, a business glossy, in April, and bankers don’t think Time Inc., publisher of Fortune, or Forbes would bid on BusinessWeek.
Reed Phillips, managing partner of media investment bank DeSilva & Phillips told the FT that more likely buyers were OpenGate Capital, which bought TV Guide; Platinum Equity, owner of the San Diego Union Tribune; and Mansueto Ventures, a publisher.
OpenGate bought TV Guide for $1, which “is probably the kind of deal that would be obtainable for BusinessWeek,” Phillips told the FT.
Even with only minimum proceeds from the sale, McGraw-Hills stands to cut annualized losses of at least $10 to 20 million, according to Peter Appert, an analyst with Piper Jaffray.
Long a main source of news and developments in the MBA space, BusinessWeek’s fate appears to hang in the balance. Clear Admit will report on any further developments at the magazine as details become available.

Joomla! 1.5中文搜索BUG修正
在 Joomla!系统自带搜索对于中文关键词两个问题的解决 文章中说明了如何解决Joomla!中文搜索的两个BUG,
1、对于中文关键词我们通常是两个字，比如”插件”,这样的关键词的长度是2，而Joomla!查询的关键词限制长度是3以上。
2、对于一些中文关键词，如果开启了sef，就会导致搜索不到结果。
除了这两个问题外,还有一个棘手的问题,就是如果查询关键词为中文，涉及到翻页的情况下（SEF开启，没测试过未开启状态），是无法翻页的，你可以看到关键词都成了乱码，实际上中文字中的丢掉了一些字节。经过努力，才定位错误原来发生在 /libraries/joomla/eviroments/uri.php 的_PARSEURL函数中，函数的代码如下：
function _parseURL($uri)
{
$parts = array();
if (version_compare( phpversion(), ‘4.4′ ) < 0)
{
$regex = “<^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?>”;
$matches = array();
preg_match($regex, $uri, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
$authority = @$matches[4][0];
if (strpos($authority, ‘@’) !== false) {
$authority = explode(’@', $authority);
@list($parts['user'], $parts['pass']) = explode(’:', $authority[0]);
$authority = $authority[1];
}
if (strpos($authority, ‘:’) !== false) {
$authority = explode(’:', $authority);
$parts['host'] = $authority[0];
$parts['port'] = $authority[1];
} else {
$parts['host'] = $authority;
}
$parts['scheme'] = @$matches[2][0];
$parts['path'] = @$matches[5][0];
$parts['query'] = @$matches[7][0];
$parts['fragment'] = @$matches[9][0];
}
else
{
$parts = @parse_url($uri);
}
return $parts;
}
这个函数，对于我的php版本，显然会走这个分支 @parse_url($uri) ,查了一下parse_url函数的源码，的确是会吃掉中文utf-8中的字节，即使经过urlencode以后也不行。没办法，只好直接采用低版本分支，将php版本判断部分去掉。
function _parseURL($uri)
{
$parts = array();
//if (version_compare( phpversion(), ‘4.4′ ) < 0)
//{
$regex = “<^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?>”;
$matches = array();
preg_match($regex, $uri, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
$authority = @$matches[4][0];
if (strpos($authority, ‘@’) !== false) {
$authority = explode(’@', $authority);
@list($parts['user'], $parts['pass']) = explode(’:', $authority[0]);
$authority = $authority[1];
}
if (strpos($authority, ‘:’) !== false) {
$authority = explode(’:', $authority);
$parts['host'] = $authority[0];
$parts['port'] = $authority[1];
} else {
$parts['host'] = $authority;
}
$parts['scheme'] = @$matches[2][0];
$parts['path'] = @$matches[5][0];
$parts['query'] = @$matches[7][0];
$parts['fragment'] = @$matches[9][0];
//}
//else
//{
// $parts = @parse_url($uri);
//}
return $parts;
}
这样就好啦！目前我还没发现带来的其他问题，也就是效率稍低一点吧。不过相对于Joomla!那么低效率的数据库查询，这也不算什么啦。

Ryan Reynolds:Celebrity Workout
ryan reynolds
Probably one of the fittest bodies in Hollywood is that of Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds made his first real appearance in the popular movie Van Wilder, where he showed off his six pack, and fitly toned body. However, in 2003-2004, Ryan Reynolds went through an amazing transformation in preparation for his role in the movie Blade Trinity. This transformation is what really got Ryan Reynolds the attention in the health and fitness industry. So, what did Ryan Reynolds do In preparation to get his hot body ripped and ready for Blade Trinity? Ryan Reynolds managed to shed his body fat from 11% to only 3%, on top of gaining 20 pounds of muscle mass, all within a time period of about 5 months. Now, you ask, how did he do it?
First off, Ryan Reynolds was given a specific diet. In his own words he says, “I ate something pretty much every 2-3 hours, never “stuffing” myself, but never letting myself get hungry.” He also drank a large amount of water continually throughout the day.
The Ryan Reynolds Diet:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, some “good” fat like a spoon of almond butter or slice of avocado, and 1 cup of oatmeal with applesauce
Midmorning snack: protein bar
Lunch: albacore tuna wrap or chicken and salad
Mid-afternoon snack: protein shake (whey and water), protein bar, or apple and almonds
Dinner: broiled fish or chicken, brown rice, vegetables, and salad
Evening Snack: protein shake
Ryan Reynolds ate a protein carb mix every 2 hours, resulting in 8-10 small meals a day. Most of his carbohydrates he ate post-workout and never after 8:00pm. The carbs during the day kept his blood sugar levels even, and gave him the right amount of energy to get him through the intense workouts.
The Ryan Reynolds Workout:
Guided by personal trainer Darren Chapman, (both for Ryan Reynolds, and Jessica Biel) he performed daily workouts for 2-3 hours a day.
He would start with about 500-1000 sit ups, because this was very meditative for him. It didn’t matter when they were done, but he found it most beneficial at the beginning of the workout. The lower abs are the hardest muscle to develop, so Ryan did a lot of leg lifts with both the exercise ball, and weights, to focus on these muscles.
Ryan Reynolds would then do heavy weights focusing on one body part a day. It would look something like this: Chest day 1, Back day 2, Shoulder day 3, Legs day 4, with arms mixed in, and a constant rotation of these every day.
Ryan Reynolds Supplement Intake:
Ryan went on Creatine to gain more muscle mass, and also took supplements including L-glutamine, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), whey, and a multivitamin.
Ryan Reynolds notes how important diet played a role in his transformation. Ryan said that 80% of it was based on his diet, when most people believe the workout to be the most vital element. However, 80% of building muscle is eating the right diet. Making sure he had enough calories to gain mass, but not fat, and eating a large amount of protein and carbs was Ryan Reynolds main focus.
So implementing a specific diet plan and starting your own workout routine can help you on your way to an overall better physique. You may not end up looking like Ryan Reynolds, but you can easily get on the right track to a fit and healthy body.

【四川512地震周年祭】《悲中行》08年四川高考满分作文
2008年四川高考满分作文——《悲中行》
戊子岁，四月初八。川静其波，鸟罢其鸣。一场无情的天灾袭来，举国恸哭。在灾难面
前，我们选择坚强；在悲痛中，我们选择坚强。汶川坚强，四川坚强，中国坚强！因为
坚强，我们不怕灾难；因为坚强，我们明天更美好！
――――序
汶水东流不复西，神仙难改地震袭。
川蜀儿女多苦难，一片荒城尽眼底。
映现当年唐山景，尽是残垣与断壁。
秀丽河山浩劫后，昨日今朝各两异。
都道零八年岁好，为何灾难紧相逼。
江山如画景色美，怎奈苍天生妒忌。
北国刚受冰冻灾，天府又遭夷平地。
川静其波鸟罢鸣，齐哀满目皆疮痍。
江天五月渐阴沉，满腔悲痛灰色弥。
油绿麦田无人收，万千苍生宿路隅。
平生有泪不轻弹，今朝闻此泪如泥。
武候诸葛若有知，不堪目视亦掩泣。
彭祖寿延八百载，可知人命仅须臾。
州州郡郡华夏土，一砖一瓦似金玉。
金玉散去不足惜，金玉怎比万事吉。
花儿凋谢来年开，来年风景更旖旎。
茂年男儿体健壮，安能袖手闻羌笛。
理会百姓疾与苦，血汗合流同舟济。
绵薄微力不足道，奇迹因爱八方聚。
竹丝管弦为君鸣，可敬可赞可歌泣。
卧薪含悲建家园，蜀山青青蜀水碧。
龙的传人谁可胜，只手亦有撑天力。
汉羌一家爱无疆，我齿你唇永相依。
旺兴岁月定轮回，红霞当空雄鸡啼。
红烛数盏列堂前，潜心默祈哀思寄。
白云苍狗命难料，生者奋进逝者息。
青史铭刻五一二，永记今朝万人罹。
川蜀儿女多坚强，还把灾难视蝼蚁。
立我于高山之上兮，眺望远方。惟见山河齐悲兮，黯然神伤。
立我于高山之上兮，眺望远方。还看万众一心兮，不屈脊梁。
立我于高山之上兮，展望悲中奋起兮。多难兴邦，中华坚强！
说明：这首诗是今年四川的高考满分作文，今年四川以“坚强”为话题，写一篇文体不
限的文章。该考生以歌行体和楚辞体写汶川地震，并且这是一首藏头诗，第一排下来分
别是地震灾区的地名，可见其才华横溢。

梦与诗
- 胡适
都是平常影象
偶然涌到梦中来
变幻出多少新奇花样
都是平常情感
都是平常言语
偶然碰着个诗人
变幻出多少新奇诗句
醉过才知酒浓
爱过才知情重 ——
你不能做我的诗
正如我不能做你的梦

Hard Core - Exercises to Strengthen Your Abs For Better Performance
Core Set
1. Standard Crunch - Think about a string attached to your belly button & running through your body pulling your stomach towards the floor.
2. Knee-up crunches - Focus on keeping the small of your back against the floor even throughout the range of motion. SLOOOW. 
3. Hip lifts - Keep your legs straight and don’t let them rock back as your lift your hips. YES - I’m pushing down w/ my hands so I could hold this forever for the camera, but you should put your palms facing up! These are tough… don’t speed through them.
4. Oblique crunches - You should feel your ribs pressing pinching into your side. Try not to fold forward, but rather bend up trying to get your elbow to touch your feet.
5. Side Plank Dips - Keep your body in a straight line (one plane) and keep the movement smooth and slow. Your hips should just touch (but not rest on!) the ground.
6. Oblique Leg Extensions - This not only works your obliques, but should also engage your piriformis & hip flexor as well. Don’t let your leg touch the ground, and when the leg is fully extended your butt should be tightly squeezed rotating your leg out ever so slightly (this is the piriformis part).
7. Supermans - Each side counts as 1/2 of a rep. Your stomach muscles should be engaged when you lift up. Think about your arm and leg not only being pulled up, but also out. Hold it at the top for 2 seconds.
8. Bridged Leg Lifts - Each leg counts as 1/2 of a rep. Keep your butt down. You don’t need to lift your legs super high.
9. Pushups - Keep your head raised and looking forward, and your body in a perfect horizontal plane. Your elbows should bend back, not out to the side.
10, 11, 12. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6, but do the other side.
13. Heel Touches - Each heel touch counts as 1/2 of a rep. Keep your shoulder blades off the ground, remember to breathe, and make sure your feet are far enough away from you that you have to really reach to touch the heel.
14. Bicycle Crunches - Each leg counts as 1/2 of a rep. Each twist w/ leg extension should take you long enough to say “one one thousand” to yourself, no faster. Try to keep your shoulder blades off the ground.
15. Half Up Twists - Sit up, put your hands on top of your knees and then lean back until your arms are straight. Cross your arms in front of you (each hand holding an elbow) and start twisting! Each side counts as 1/2 of a rep.
