Beyond The Game


Go beyond...
Go beyond the game...
You and I, we have met before, to the magic of the moment in cyber space.
Driven by a passion to win
Playing heart to heart or face to face
The challenge of the live time stands before us now
Beyond the game!
Through the portal into cyber space
We have come to decide our fate,
Here we celebrate
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
At last the moments at hand, all we need is to believe we can
We will make our stand
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
The world cyber games


Let time to hear the spirit is right
We connect now in a powerful way
We celebrate our diversity, around the world, with the passion to play
The planet will be watching, the message will be heard!
Beyond the game!
Through the portal into cyber space
We have come to decide our fate
Here we celebrate
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
At last the moments at hand, all we need is to believe we can
We will make our stand
Beyond the game!
Through the portal into cyber space
We have come to decide our fate,
Here we celebrate
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
At last the moments at hand, all we need is to believe we can
We will make our stand
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
Beyond the game!
The world cyber games

討厭的情況

我實在不得已跟florence還有kevin談了
我認為我跟我老闆之間有很大的落差
我實在不知道我能報告些什麼東西 這讓我覺得非常的挫折
但是我去看S的research review我又覺得我並不是那麼差
至少我可以跟他做的接近 我真的希望我比他做的好

我等下談談我將來要做什麼

心情爛到爆炸

我可以發洩一下嘛

這個他媽的鳥實驗室老師從來不給我計畫 我他媽的沒計畫生什麼data
我做的那些鳥實驗都是有人做過的 東西都寫的一清二楚的 我照著人家的東西做而已
我那抽血根本就沒有人建立檔案 我現在要回頭找那些positive的人找的屁啊
做好表格沒人理我 那我怎麼知道我做對還錯

Marie

週五晚上跟他聊了很多

我不否認我之前還滿喜歡他的
但是說真的我在他生日那天去看到的都只是一些表面
我實在沒興趣穿的整整齊齊
然後去那邊說一些智障的話吃很貴的東西 然後拍照留念
對我來說簡直沒意義 我承認我完全無法融入那種氣氛
若有這麼多時間 我真的會選擇作其他的事情

我只是覺得 也許這就一種形式太快樂 導致他這樣

我希望 我能好好把事情做好

因為我在跟他一起去吃晚餐的時候感到無比的空虛

今天早上開mail

發現學校跟gmail又可以同時開了
真好 我要把這當成好事情紀念下來
這樣每天都有一些快樂 會比較好一點

halloween and birthday party

這次的萬聖節我終於沒有什麼事情都沒做
shiva找我去參加haunting house我們去了felmount監獄玩

感想不怎麼恐怖 不過 總算也去過了

至於halloween party我看到照片了 我有時候在想我跟這些人真的不是同一群
看著他們五顏六色的打扮 我心裡一點感動都沒有 多謝老天沒有讓他們邀請我
因為 我也沒有興趣去

同樣的事情發生在marie的生日 我只是覺得大家穿的漂漂亮亮討論智障話題
他在中間像交際花一樣實在有夠白痴 我都不知道要說啥
我真的是 比較宅

巨大的失落感

我真的覺得我如今的心情非常的失落
雖然我知道心情是一陣陣的 可是這種巨大的失落感還是不停壓迫
沮喪 主耶穌 請幫助我

但是我還是要分析狀況如下
我今天跟Dr.rogers說了research review要報告 他不知道我要11月底報
我記得我跟他說過 我覺得這是我的錯
不管怎說 他還是很鎮定 ok 下週要做macaque不行 下下週他要回家thanksgiving不行
所以就最後一週28-30號

我應該做的事情 是先找xavier問 他說一定要在12月前做完 ok
所以我現在寄信給其他兩個人確定時間 即使被罵也要這樣做才行
我做了 現在在等結果 我不要跟他們說到我的情況 我希望他們就這樣定下去

然後我要跟rogers討論到底要報什麼
我沒有什麼像樣的data因為我根本不了解實驗內涵 我只知道要做啥 這樣是不夠的
不管怎樣 我現在要全神貫注做這件事情
我有點不是很愛這些事情了 真的 怎麼辦呢...

很多的時候我遇到這種情況心理只會想到一個人
其實我後來想想 這不就表示 他最重要了嘛

wht can i give?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBTXNPZPfbE&feature=player_embedded#!

久沒來

自從gmail跟學校信箱沒辦法同時開啟以後
我用這裡的頻率就少很多

某些時候感覺沒有到這邊來自我檢討 生活就會亂掉一樣
事實上 好像也是如此？
我想我以後會多多回到這邊來檢討我自己的生活

找回這句話

"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

兩面人

我喜歡生活保持多面性
但是不是兩面人

adhd

我後來想想 我沒有擺脫過adhd

我只是覺得我沒有同年齡該有的感覺
不穩重 心情浮躁不定 沒辦法專心 憂鬱或情緒不穩
聽不到別人講話 思緒常常跑掉 無法感受對方 強烈的被自已喜歡的東西吸引
想像天馬行空不切實際

有時候我覺得睡飽才能解決問題 但是我根本睡不飽

我現在給自己的方案是
我必須恢復吃綜合維他命跟維他命b
我中午必須短暫休息 去student and faculty center2樓

我必須要作點事情就我自己
may god bless me

最難的是自己

其實打遊戲也是想告訴我同一件事情吧
謝謝你

finally

i realized I am totally bad guy.

只是再次證明你這個早就被撞爛的蘋果
不屬於任何地方

惹人厭

沒人問的問題他媽的就別回答

where

where is the end?

努力

我的努力真的不夠
我要好好加油 我要表現更好 我...

不懂

有時候我覺得全世界都恨我
我知道這樣想不對 但是就是忍不住這樣想

awake!

the vacation is gotta over.

i have to concentrate to the next semester, i have many challenges.

bio-statistic, and developmental biology. i really need to study harder. :(

我已經有好決策了

目前為止進行都還ok
最重要的事情還沒來

而現在只是我想打打字

又不太一樣

看來做老師也不那麼差 30萬

一百萬俱樂部

1 million research club.

wohhhhhhaaaaaa.

好房子真的很猛

稍微算一下現在的人

哈佛醫學系神經科畢業醫師 在penn實習
維吉尼亞大學畢業 現在律師
在jpmorgan工作
杜拜來華頓念書

drexel研究生
在地工作 地產的
藥廠工作的
介紹的其他學生

好房子真猛...幹

my gift

My gift is I am able to change the morale of the whole group.

I have to use this gift wisely.

yu

recently i found one truth:

people do not like listen the truth, they just wanna listen what they want/believe.
and once u tole them truth, 2 things gotta be happen:
1. they feel angry, and refuse to talk with u.
2. they feel depress, and refuse to talk with u.

本學期計畫

1.把課上好 實驗做好
2.把tech學好
3.減重

monica

讓我發現一件有趣的事情：
費城地區只有兩個機構在nih有穩定增加預算
upenn 現在有四億多usd
temple 現在只有5000萬 如果可以跟fccc和在一起就會變成7-8000萬
這樣比較像是可以比較的程度

但是這種策略不能說是高明 那麼到底會變成怎樣呢

我只能說如果他們有辦法做出這些來 我會比較想跟人說我學校

talk

很久沒寫這些 前兩週根本沒有心情打開 即便是簡單的東西也說不太上來

其實本來就是一些瑣碎繁雜的事情 記不記錄好像無所謂 記錄了卻覺得自己寫了些雞毛蒜皮的事情 八月出去的 七月多回來 感覺好像沒中斷過 我不在乎人家怎樣看 我只覺得很好

回台灣兩週 其實也才離開一年 變化不是很大 唯一可以說的就是叉子換了地方 不過離原來地點也只有500公尺 該排隊的也少不了 包括那些涼拌木瓜絲 哈哈！

朋友一樣忙 總是約不出幾個
路上的妹很正 城市很有活力 而我/跟我朋友們 還是像被關在防護罩裡面一樣的悶
似乎我們好像是被投射一樣回到這裡 並沒有跟這裡有真實的接觸
i do not belongs here, even i wish that so much.

回台灣

還是閉嘴比較好

就算再這邊有在多好事情 只要我住在家裡面就是功力全廢
我真的應該想到這點 我忘記了 不愉快的事情忘記的就特別快

回家兩週

1.很開心 因為可以吃好料摟！

2.很恐懼 因為我感覺前方又是巨大海嘯襲擊...
如果Y的情報正確那麼jefferson幾乎要倒店了 我們的情況 不言可喻

研究計畫分類

NIH的根本任務就是合理使用納稅人的錢支持生物醫學研究，因此，NIH需要根據其資助策略制定合理的基金分配及預算方案。其中約82％ 的預算用于NIH 的院外研究項日(extramural research program)，系通過基金或協議的方式資助美國國內外2000余個研究機構；10％ 的預算用于NIH的院內研究項目(intramural research program)，資助NIH內部直屬實驗室的2 000余項研究項目；另有約8％ 左右的預算作為院內院外研究項目的共同基金。NIH的院內研究項H歸院內研究處管轄，負責所有與院內研究、培訓、技術轉讓有關的政策法規、審核、立項、實施管理及實驗室、臨床醫院之間的協調等。

NIH的院外研究項日由院外研究處管理，負責NIH基金政策的制定、實施等。對NIH以外的研究機構主要有三種資助方式：基金(grants)、合作協議(cooperative agreements),和約(contracts)。基金是最主要的資助方式， 支持各種與人類健康相關的研究項日和培訓計劃，一般由申請者個人提出研究日標，經評審通過后獲得基金支持， 資助年限l～5年， 資助機構不參與項目的研究過程；合作協議則事先由資助機構對研究計劃提出相應規定并發布特別申請須知ra specific request for applications，RFA)，有時為了激發科學家對某些特殊領域的興趣，還會發布項日聲明(a program announcement，PA)；研究與

開發(research and development，R＆D)合同則是資助學術機構、非盈利性或商業性機構就NIH感興趣的特殊領域進行研究和開發，例如，抗乳腺癌和卵巢

癌的化療藥物Taxol(泰素)的研發就是NIH簽署的眾多協議之一 。

NIH的研究基金(the NIH research grant budget)分四種：研究項目基金(research project grants，RPGs)、研究中心基金(research center grants)、小業創新研究一小企業技術轉讓基金(small business innovative research—small business technology transfer grants．SBIR—SBTTG)及其他研究基金(other research grants)。

Program Project/Center Grants (P series)

The following represents the most frequently used programs.  A comprehensive list of all activity codes is also available. Program project/center grants are large, multi-project efforts that generally include a diverse array of research activities.  NIH Institutes and Centers issue funding opportunity announcements to indicate their interest in funding this type of program.
Centers (ICs) may vary in the way they use activity codes. Look closely at funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) to determine which ICs participate and the specifics of eligibility.

P01	Research Program Project Grant   Support for integrated, multi-project research projects involving a number of independent investigators who share knowledge and common resources Each project contributes or is directly related to the common theme of the total research effort, thus forming a system of research activities and projects directed toward a well-defined research program goal Specific dollar limit unless specified in FOA
P20	Exploratory Grants   Often used to support planning activities associated with large multi-project program project grants
P30	Center Core Grants   To support shared resources and facilities for categorical research by a number of investigators from different disciplines who provide a multidisciplinary approach to a joint research effort or from the same discipline who focus on a common research problem.  The core grant is integrated with the center's component projects or program projects, though funded independently from them.
P50	Specialized Center   To support any part of the full range of research and development from very basic to clinical May involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. Receive continuous attention from staff funding IC.  Centers may serve as regional or national resources for special research purposes.

Resource Grants

The following represent some of the more frequently used types of grant programs that provide research-related support or access to resources. This list is by no means exhaustive.  A comprehensive list of all activity codes is also available.

Important note: NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) may vary in the way they use activity codes; not all ICs accept applications for all types of grant programs or they apply specialized eligibility criteria. Look closely at funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) to determine which ICs participate and the specifics of eligibility.

R24	Resource-Related Research Projects   Used in a wide variety of ways to provide resources for problems where multiple expertise is needed to focus on a single complex problem in biomedical research or to enhance research infrastructure
