发帖数: 447 | 1 Outsourcing M&A Year In Review
By Michael A. Martorelli
Several large outsourcing firms made important tuck-in acquisitions, many
mid-sized firms expanded their platforms with strategic acquisitions, and
one outsourcing firm successfully tapped the equity market for an Initial
Public offering (IPO). But the big stories in the pharmaceutical outsourcing
industry in 2009 involved seven “going private” transactions and fifteen
separate divestitures. During the past few years, both in these annual

发帖数: 3446 | 2 对一个学科是应该属于自然科学还是应该属于社会科学的问题，我个人一般用一个很简
单的办法来区分，就是看这个学科的对自己的定义中是否包含了人的价值判断，包含了
的就是社会科学，不包含的就是自然科学。这个“人的价值判断”是啥意思，让我举例
说明。
大家知道，经济学是一门社会科学，其定义为“the science which studies human
behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have
alternative uses.”（Robbins, 1945，引自wikipedia/Economics）。经济学成为社
会科学的原因不是因为它“studies human behaviour”，而是它的研究“ends"，"
uses"这样的包含价值判断的东西，从不同的角度，对不同的人，这些的所指是完全不
同的，没有客观的不依赖于人的判断标准。类似的，教育学，社会学等等的定义都包括
人的价值判断的成分，是社会科学。
有一个很常见的误解，就是认为大量使用数学工具的学科就是所谓的“硬”科学（hard

[This article is reprinted from Peking Review, #10, March 7, 1975, pp. 5-10.]
毛主席在讲到必须搞清楚无产阶级对资产阶级专政的问题时明确指出：“林彪一类如上

Mukden Arsenal after WWII
April 3, 2017 jwh19752 Comments
(Zhang's Gate, the old entrance to Mukden Arsenal)
For people interested in Japanese firearms of WWII, the name Mukden Arsenal
is familiar. The history of the facility after Japan's defeat is less well
known. Under various names, it did survive for some time, producing an odd
mix of WWII weapons after the war's end.

一、先想先写最后做:
1. 做研究之前，必须想清楚：结果能不能发表？发表在哪里？
2. 先把文章大框写好，空出数据，等做完实验填完空就可以发了；正所谓心中有沟壑！
3. 在未搞清“写什么、发哪里、自己研究与同类研究有何出色之处”之前，就不要动
手做！
4. 继续去看文献，去想；想不清楚就做还不如不做！
5. 要想这样做，就得先看文献！要知道如何把文章架起来、要知道别人是如何讨论的
、要知道自己的数据是不是说明了与别人不同的东东或别人没有做过……这个过程就是
阅读文献及思考的过程，这些搞清楚了，写就简单了！
6. 要是先做事，做完发现别人做过，或无法用理论来解释，岂不是冤大头？
二、如何科学选题:
1. 课题选择和国际接轨。想在国际核心期刊发表文献，就必须了解国际研究动态
，选择与国际学术研究合拍的课题。由于多方面因素的影响，我国科学研究选题与国际
先进水平还有一定距离。我国一家权威科研机构不久前在国内挑选了许多前沿领域的研

Turning China's Growth Illusion
Into Reality
By WEIJIAN SHAN
China's growth is simultaneously real and unreal. Real, because a high savings
rate and capital controls mean that the country is investing in production
capacity, particularly by the state-owned sector. Unreal, because these
factories are inefficient, and thus their construction is a tremendous waste
of scarce resources. Does this mean China is heading for a financial
catastrophe, and if so how can it avoid such a crash?

国王和王后陛下、阁下们、女士们、先生们，
“挪威诺贝尔和平奖委员会决定，授予刘晓波刘晓波刘晓波刘晓波 2010 年诺贝尔和平
奖，以表彰他为争取和维护中国基本人权所进行的长期的、非暴力的努力。挪威诺贝尔
和平奖委员会一向的观点是，人权与和平之间有着紧密的联系。人权是阿尔弗雷德&#

我刚才所读的，是今年 10 月 8 日挪威诺贝尔和平奖委员会颁奖公告的第一段。
我们深感遗憾的是，和平奖获得者刘晓波正被隔离监禁在中国东北部的一个监狱里，不
能亲自出席今天的仪式。他的妻子刘霞或其他亲属也不能前来。因此，今天我们不会颁

这一事实本身就说明，授予刘晓波这项奖是必要的、应该的。我们对他荣获本年度诺贝
