Wired今期邀請了多位作家，用六個字來説一個故事，效法海明威著名的超短故事："For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

其中一些作品極有作者的性格標記，好厲害：

Longed for him. Got him. Shit.
- Margaret Atwood

With bloody hands, I say good-bye.
- Frank Miller

Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth.
- Vernor Vinge

I’m your future, child. Don’t cry.
- Stephen Baxter

Don’t marry her. Buy a house.
- Stephen R. Donaldson

I saw, darling, but do lie.
- Orson Scott Card

由於中國上巿公司必須在年底前清欠違規佔用資金的大限臨近，部分上市公司高管相繼辭職。

《上海證券報》報道，監管部門已在清欠攻堅部署中明確指出，年底前凡上市公司資金被違規佔用問題尚未得到解決的，上市公司負有清欠責任的責任人必須在「要麼還債，要麼承擔法律責任」兩者之間做出抉擇。面對如此重壓，近期有小部分清欠困難公司頻繁發生董事會成員及公司高管變更。

近3個月以來，已有「S*ST實達」、「寶碩」股份等10多家未完成清欠公司出現了總經理級別以上的高管變更。不管變更的理由為何，這般匆匆辭職造成的後果都是，年底清欠大限來臨時上市公司在任高管及董事，都已經不是違規佔款發生時的原任高管及董事，這必然會給監管部門的相關責任人責任認定帶來一定麻煩，相關人員也多少有些在事前逃避責任的嫌疑。

對於這些臨陣換將的清欠困難公司，「國浩律師集團事務所」合夥人宣偉華指出，相關上市公司的清欠責任人不可能一辭了之。她認為，監管部門對上市公司清欠責任人的責任認定和處罰，應該是基於違規佔款行為是否是在責任人任職期間發生、責任人任職期間對清欠工作是否盡到了勤勉盡責的責任。對於那些任期內對違規佔用負有責任，或者沒有佔用責任但是清欠不力、不勤勉不盡責的上市公司高管，即使在年底前辭職，他們也無法逃脫相應的法律責任。

This is the second game I've come across that's extremely addictive and sufficiently educational to make me feel less guilty about indulging myself in the game. (The other one was the 3rd World Farmer.) I am very proud to report that I have managed to keep my family alive over the four years while saving quite a bit of money in the process.

Apparently there is a rather drab term for this kind of games - serious games.

Taking pictures in the middle of a marathon course, obstructing athletes who have trained and paid to participate in this sport event. You'd end up being humiliated and condemned by a sea of angry fellow photographers, like she has.

I cried so hard when I saw Michael J. Fox in this interview.

Fox was one of my husband's favorite actors as the slightly built but brave and clever Marty McFly in the Back to the Futures trilogy. As an advocate for stem cell research because of his familiarity with Parkinson's disease, a condition that he has been living with for 15 years, Fox often appears in campaign ads for politicians who support stem cell research. He was campaigning for Claire McCaskill, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Missouri, who wasn't the first politician that Fox supported; he also appeared in ads for a Republican in previous campaigns.

In the video, Fox exhibited classic reaction to the drugs he has to take to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's. However, Rush Limbaugh later blasted Fox for "exaggerating the effects of the disease. He is moving all around and shaking. And it's purely an act. This is the only time I have ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two."

And how did Fox respond to such moronic criticism from someone who knows the side effects of prescription drugs so intimately? With grace. Instead of hitting back with toxic sarcasm like Keith Olbermann would or muttering something religious and inflammatory like Ann Coulter are prone to, he simply said, "It is hard for people and I understand, it's difficult for people who don't have Parkinson's, or don't know about Parkison's, to understand the symptoms and the way they work and the way medication works. You get what you get on any given day." Later he also appeared in an interview with Katie Couric, in which he had a hard time keeping his right leg crossed and rested on his left because of his involuntary motor movements.

Here is someone who is crushed everyday by a cruel reality that is indirectly shaped by public policy. The controversy over stem cell research, to me, is simply a clumsy argument based on emotional religious claims instead of rational scientific facts. The reality of people suffering and dying often gets lost in passionate public discourses, particularly in the current suffocatingly religious environment fostered by the Christian right. Fox is an important living reminder that the decisions of you and me, on public policy, have real, life-changing consequences.

The people of the US, in whom the democratic system entrusts the ultimate power to make a decision, should wake up to the reality that the very foundation of their nation is being constantly ridiculed and threatened. The separation of Church and State is one of the greatest gifts that America has ever given to the modern civilization; please don't lose sight of it now, when religious fanatics are wreaking havoc around the world.
