La iniciativa surgió del blog de Steli Efti y aunque hay ciertos comentarios en contra de esta idea por el hecho de que los blogs en la actualidad constituyen una fuente importante de noticias e información, otros consideran que es un día para el recuerdo, no una razón para dejar de bloggear ni para detenerse, ya que esto puede hacerse antes y después de este evento, por lo que puede parecer acertado o moralmente favorable dedicar un día a la memoria de las víctimas desde la blogosfera. No sólo a las víctimas del Virginia Tech, sino a todas aquellas con las que de alguna forma sintamos la necesidad de solidarizarnos por un día. Puedes descargar la imagen en la web OneDayBlogSilence.com para participar en esta acción, publicándola en un post el día 30 de abril y manteniendo el silencio en tu blog durante el resto del día.

Numele sau - Liviu Librescu, profesorul care si-a aparat studentii, blocand cu propriul corp, usa de acces criminalului. Strapuns de gloante, ultima lui lectie urma sa fie aceea a curajului, a sacrificiului, a apararii studentilor sai cu propria-i viata. S-a spus despre profesorul erou ca este de origine romana. Cu fireasca emotie aveam sa aflam insa, ca profesorul Librescu este ploiestean. Aici s-a nascut, in 1930, aici a locuit si si-a facut studiile liceale. In memoria si pentru cinstirea jertfei sale, ieri, la Sinagoga din Ploiesti, a avut loc o manifestare omagiala. Aceasta a constat intr-o rugaciune traditionala spusa in limba ebraica si a fost oficiata de Gilu Iuftariu, vicepresedintele comunitatii evreiesti din municipiu, organizatie ce aduna in prezent, aproximativ 100 de membri. "Liviu Librescu s-a nascut la Ploiesti acum 77 de ani dintr-o familie de evrei, a facut studiile la Liceul "Sfintii Petru si Pavel" si a absolvit Institutul Politehnic din Bucuresti in 1953. Profesorul erou era considerat, in lumea academica, drept o somitate; a fost recunoscut ca fondatorul teoriei aplicatiilor in domeniul petrochimiei si, de asemenea, foarte apreciat datorita muncii sale de cercetare in domeniul aerospatial. Din nefericire, profesorul Librescu a fost ucis in incercarea sa de a-si salva studentii de ploaia de gloante", cu aceste cuvinte si-a inceput discursul vicepresedintele comunitatii evreiesti. De asemenea, acesta a mai precizat: "L-am cunoscut pe profesorul Librescu, cu multi ani in urma si chiar am mentinut legatura prin intermediul corespondentei. Intotdeauna a demonstrat un grad de cultura si de bunatate deosebit, nu a uitat niciodata de unde a plecat, drept pentru care a revenit in tara acum cativa ani cu urna cu cenusa a tatalui sau, pentru a-l inhuma in cimitirul din Ploiesti. Gestul sau de sacrificiu demonstreaza o marinimie sufleteasca deosebita, acesta oferindu-ne o ultima lectie de viata". Printre cei prezenti la manifestare s-au mai numarat reprezentanti ai Primariei Municipiului Ploiesti, ai Muzeului de Istorie si Arheologie Prahova, ai Muzeului de Arta Ploiesti etc. *** Ieri, consilierii locali i-au acordat prof.univ.dr. Liviu Librescu, Titlul de Cetatean de Onoare al municipiului Ploiesti, post-mortem.

Librescu a tinut blocata usa incaperii pentru a le permite studentilor sa sara pe geam, in timpul conflictului singeros de la Universitatea Tehnica din Virginia din data de 16 aprilie. Ulterior, atacatorul a incercat sa intre in clasa si pentru ca nu a reusit a tras o rafala de gloante in usa. "Imi voi consacra viata mostenirii tale. Adio, tata", a spus fiul sau Joe. Trupul neinsufletit al profesorului Librescu a fost transportat cu zborul Elal nr. 2 de la New York la Tel Aviv, insotit de citiva reprezentanti ai unei organizatii religioase si de membri ai familiei. Profesorul Liviu Librescu s-a nascut in 1930 in Romania. Dupa ce a supravietuit Holocaustului, a refuzat sa se inscrie in Partidul Comunist si si-a pierdut slujba ca inginer aerospatial. In 1976, Liviu Librescu a publicat in secret o carte in Norvegia in care a emis o teorie revolutionara pentru tehnologia aerospatiala. In 1978, dupa ce mai multe grupuri din Israel au facut lobby, lui Librescu i s-a permis sa plece din Romania si s-a stabilit in Israel. La Virginia Tech a inceput sa predea din 1985. Librescu era membru al mai multor academii de constructii din Ucraina, Armenia si Statele Unite ale Americii si a fost distins cu multe premii de catre mai multe organizatii internationale. El avea peste 500 de materiale publicate in mai multe reviste de specialitate sau ca lucrari personale. -- Sursa Originala: <a href="http://www.ziaruldeiasi.ro/cms/site/z_is/news/omagiu_lui_liviu_librescu_in_israel_142568.html">http://www.ziaruldeiasi.ro/cms/site/z_is/news/omagiu_lui_liviu_librescu_in_israel_142568.html</a> Language A language of the resource ron Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Florin Nicula (florin.nicula@ziaruldeiasi.ro) Title A name given to the resource Omagiu lui Liviu Librescu in Israel librescu omagiu romania Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Na Mi Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Zhang Xin Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-07-18 Description An account of the resource By Zhang Xin [ 2007-04-24 15:42 ] Last week, in the immediate aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings, some people apparently tried to stick it on Korea, or China, or Asia in general, all on the strength of such weak arguments that Cho Seung-Hui was an immigrant from Korea, that he was sometimes (mis)taken as Chinese, or that he&#39;s Asian-looking. I read somewhere that a Korean retorted, quite correctly, that Cho left South Korea at the age of eight and spent most of his formative years in the States so they can&#39;t possibly stick it on Korea. Cho, who killed 33 people including himself on Virginia Tech campus on Monday, April 16, 2007, was 23. Likewise, you can&#39;t stick it on China. At least once Cho was mistaken as Chinese. "In high school, Cho Seung-Hui almost never opened his mouth. When he finally did, his classmates laughed, pointed at him and said: &#39;Go back to China.&#39;" (Va. Tech shooter a &#39;textbook killer&#39;, Associated Press, April 19, 2007). Nor can you pin it on Asia. After all, almost all East Asians look the same to the less discerning American eye. Whom do we stick it onto, then? If I have to assign blame, I will stick it first on Cho, obviously, then on gun control or the lacks thereof in America, then on pop culture and on society at large. I, for one, believe it is not as far-fetched to blame it on society at large than on a specific target such as Korea. Society at large, you see, both yonder across the oceans and here in this country looks too much up to what is called success but has too little respect for and tolerance of what is considered to be failure. I mean, only by contrast do we tell success from failure. So theoretically for society as a whole, these two are equally important - we should therefore reserve a degree of respect for those who fail, who come up short but also run. School bullies, for example, pick on practically anyone who&#39;s not regarded as "one of us". You may get glared at, jeered and sneered at for one of these perfectly harmless "crimes" - that you come from another country (or another province for that manner), that you don&#39;t get ushered to school by a sedan car, that you speak a non-local dialect, that you have an odd accent, that you have a physical disability or simply a harelip, that you have a mental problem.... The list goes on and on. In the mainstream society of one-upmanship, pop culture craves for bringing up heroes (American Idol, or the Super Girl in China) and in the process create as a by product victims and villains, of whom Cho is but a latest and most disturbing example. No doubt, blaming it on society at large is in vain. Cho himself tried to do it, and what consequences did he come to? Cho argued in his manifesto, sent to the NBC in between the murders, that he was out to avenge rich "brats" with had their "Mercedes", "gold necklaces", "cognac" and "trust funds". But he had no argument, really - none of the above justifies the shootings. But, as a lesson, we as individuals need to be constantly reminded of the social callousness we often displays toward the weak and underprivileged. In the same time society advocates winning, it&#39;d best advocate also tolerance and understanding towards losing. By all means win, but please maintain a healthy respect for those who fall behind. It&#39;s called "live and let live". In this age of wealth and profligacy in many places, we instead may advocate "thrive but let survive". -- Original Source:Chinadaily.com <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/language_tips/2007-04/24/content_858747.htm">http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/language_tips/2007-04/24/content_858747.htm<a/> Language A language of the resource eng Title A name given to the resource Can't stick it on Korea asia blame china cho cho seung-hui korea society Document A resource containing textual data.

The threat-received through a telecommunications device for the deaf-was not found credible by the police, but they investigated the dorm to ensure there was no hazard, said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs. Bell Tower residents were not evacuated and received an e-mail about the threat several hours later. The incident added Duke to a list of schools and universities across the country that have received security threats since the Virginia Tech shootings a week ago. Although some universities have chosen to evacuate buildings and cancel classes in response to the threats, others have opted to continue normal activities. "Threats are made over the course of the year, and [the police] exercise a judgment," Moneta said. "They have expertise in determining that something&#39;s credible or not." He added that DUPD is currently investigating who called in the threat. Some Bell Tower residents said they were wary of how the situation was handled. Freshman Jordan Rice said he saw a police officer searching the dormitory Friday. "We asked him if he needed any help, and he said no," Rice said. "He looked to be in no hurry." Rice added that he was unsure whether or not evacuation would have been necessary. "They deemed it was not credible," he said. "I trust that, but then again, you really don&#39;t want to make the same mistake the Virginia Tech administrators made in not closing down classes or, in this case, evacuating a dorm." Joe Gonzalez, associate dean for residential life, wrote in the e-mail sent to the residents that there was no reason for students to feel unsafe. "We do not believe Bell Tower residents have any cause for concern at this time, but we wanted to make you aware of it and encourage extra vigilance on your part," he said. In addition to Gonzalez&#39;s e-mail, Moneta sent out a message Friday to the entire undergraduate body, referencing the threat and encouraging students to remain safe and cautious. "Institutions across the nation and world, including Duke, begin hearing murmurs of violent acts to follow at home on one&#39;s own campus," Moneta wrote in the e-mail. "While institutions must take such threats seriously and do their best to explore their veracity, this grim reality underscores our need to be extra vigilant in all that we do." Freshman Jon Silverman, a Bell Tower resident, said he preferred to remain unaware of threats unless the University chooses to take action. "I just don&#39;t really want to know that they&#39;re not going to do something," Silverman said. "It&#39;s perceived risk versus actual risk." He added that, in this turbulent time, bomb threats have the potential to shut down universities and that Duke should only inform students of threats if they are concrete. "If they do start responding to every single bomb threat, we won&#39;t have finals or classes," Silverman said. "If they just stop responding and don&#39;t let all these copycats take it seriously, then hopefully it&#39;ll die off." -- Original Source: <a href=http://www.dukechronicle.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=51338667-a7c8-461f-bf9e-7174632b4980> Duke Chronicle - April 23, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Duke Chronicle Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource David Graham <david.graham@duke.edu> Title A name given to the resource Bomb threat deemed no hazard bomb threat campus security duke Document A resource containing textual data.

Stories of heroism make their way out of the situation, but the media is focused on the death and destruction caused on the campus of Virginia Tech University. One thing, however, should give Virginia Tech students, and Americans throughout the country, something to be proud of. In the absence of professional newsmen, students took control of the media, showing an unprecedented ability to shape the coverage regarding their event. In the wake of the worst campus massacre ever in the United States, dozens of news organizations flocked to Virginia to cover the tragedy. Before they arrived, however, the mainstream media relied on reports from those already on the ground: the college students themselves. Armed with the video and still cameras on their mobile phones, dozens of students set out to create their own coverage of an incident that was very much their own. The first audio and video accounts of the incident aired by CNN came from <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.cnn.com/exchange/&#39;);" href="http://www.cnn.com/exchange/" title="iReport">iReport</a>, their citizen journalism program. The video, shot on a Nokia smartphone, made its way around the networks, all courtsey of a Virginia Tech student named <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech.witness/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&#39;);" href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech.witness/index.html?eref=rss_topstories" title="Jamal Albarghouti">Jamal Albarghouti</a>.</p> <p>Dozens of similar stories are to be told. In the hours preceding the arrival of professional reporters, Virginia Tech students had, unfortunately, the opportunity to shape the world&#8217;s news. Their coverage helped to show the world how terrible the massacre was and helped to qualm some fears about students that were safe. <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.twitter.com&#39;);" href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a>, a &#8220;stream of consciousness&#8221; blogging tool by <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/obvious.com/&#39;);" href="http://obvious.com/">Obvious Corp</a> (utilized mostly by web celebrities such as <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.twitter.com/scobleizer&#39;);" href="http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer">Robert Scoble</a> and <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.twitter.com/thomashawk&#39;);" href="http://www.twitter.com/thomashawk">Thomas Hawk</a>), served constant updates to the internet, courtesy of a user named <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/twitter.com/tmarkiewicz&#39;);" href="http://twitter.com/tmarkiewicz">Tom Markiewicz</a>. <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.twitter.com/chrispirillo&#39;);" href="http://www.twitter.com/chrispirillo" title="Chris Pirillo">Chris Pirillo</a>, a web celebrity in his own right, helped to stream live coverage with a tool called <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.ustream.tv&#39;);" href="http://www.ustream.tv">UStream.tv</a>.

What most surprised me, however, was the caliber and tenacity of the coverage coming from the students themselves at Virginia Tech. Via the aforementioned <a onclick="javascript:urchinTracker (&#39;/outgoing/www.planetblacksburg.com/&#39;);" href="http://www.planetblacksburg.com/">Planet Blackburg</a>, they helped to broadcast news of the tragedy throughout the world, becoming the go-to site for immediate updates. The Web2.0 movement, which many experts see as a bubble ready to burst, finally showcased its effectiveness yesterday. YouTube has showed its staying power by drawing users in to watch videos on their website. The entire citizen journalism movement, however, displayed its prominence yesterday with the Virginia Tech shooting. Never, in years past, would internet surfers be granted the same hard-hitting coverage as Planet Blacksburg provided yesterday. In this day and age, everyone is a reporter. Yesterday, as CNN broadcast video from a student&#8217;s cellphone video, and as Planet Blacksburg updated faster than the almighty network news, it became apparent. The &#8220;new media&#8221; is here to stay, and, from the looks of it, it&#8217;s ready to provide better coverage than had ever been imagined. The shooting at Virginia Tech has caused incredible sadness and grief. It has, however, caused something else: the birth of a new generation of reporters. <em>News of the incident continues to stun the staff here at New School Politics. In the coming days, we&#8217;ll be doing everything we can to help, but for the moment, the best we can do is to give our condolences to those involved in the tragedy at Virginia Tech.

Except that it wasn&#39;t a film. The slayings were real, brutal and heartless. And while the gunman shot "randomly," it was also with an unmistakable precision. Death is always a surreal event. It marks the natural conclusion of a unique cycle, which, like birth, isgrotesque and beautiful in equal measure. Yet when death is inflicted by force, we can never speak of the unspeakable loss and can never express the torment a victim experienced during that brush with mortality. For some, it might be an endless eternity; for others, a fleetingly swift one. And for those who fell during that battle, through tributes and condolences we remember and commemorate the memories they left. During these times, we mourn and grieve with empathy for the victims. Our roles as part of the community become especially magnified, and our responses become a warning that such behavior of acting upon others is a behavior nobody tolerates. Nonetheless, where does the Virginia Tech massacre leave us? It is important to understand the reasons why the massacre occurred in the first place. Cho Seung-Hui has frequently been described by his peers as a socially isolated individual. Twice, his professors were shocked by the severity of the plays he composed, in which he described certain themes of revenge and bloodlust in graphic detail. And he acted as a result of societal disillusionment. The moral collapse of "what he considered the more privileged students on campus" was cited as the underlying motivation behind his actions. The signs were there, but it wasn&#39;t acted upon sufficiently enough, due to both external as well as internal factors. This shouldn&#39;t be a blame game about responsibilities, though. From a national perspective, the blame game about gun-possession merits reverberates even louder. It seems fatalistic to conclude that the event was an inevitable conclusion of a gun-toting policy, yet the tragedy was always a possible consequence of weapons possession. Others have questioned the long delay of immediate action being taken to identify the cause of the problem, which would have possibly allowed for more stringent security measures. More recent revelations have revealed that investigators were misled by a bad lead, hence the lag time of two hours between the first killings and the rest. Yet in a sprawling, large campus such as Virginia Tech, it would arguably have been difficult for instant prevention policies to be successfully implemented at such short notice, but action was still necessary. Moreover, Seung-Hui&#39;s nationality also meant that fears of future possible racial recriminations against the Korean and Asian community have been expressed. Yet it is foolhardy to shift the blame onto one race simply because of this incident. Emotions do not choose, irrespective of race or nationality. Violence, a frightening product born out of various factors, can overwhelm regardless of one&#39;s status, wealth or privilege. It is heartwarming though, to hear about the character and bravery displayed by those who acted selflessly in trying to protect their fellow brethren while in the knowledge that they might fall in the process: "Students said Professor Liviu Librescu had blocked the door to his classroom to prevent the gunman from entering." Professor Librescu fell, but for his courage he was anointed by President Bush as the first hero of the Virginia Tech massacre. And many of the victims were souls who never got to live longer than they deserved, and their actions are reminders that we all have the capacity to do good during the most crucial moments. The fundamental unity of this diverse nation is built on trust. And, while the gory Virginia Tech events have been appalling, it is during these times that we should all gather together as a people, and look toward solving what has become our challenge. -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2007/04/19/Opinion/Zach-Kun.Lin.Han-2852773.shtml>The California Aggie - April 19, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The California Aggie Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Eddie Lee <editor@californiaaggie.com> Title A name given to the resource Zach Kun Lin Han: The Virginia tragedy university of california - davis https://april16archive.org/files/original/UNH_36bb11be6e.jpg null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sara Hood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yoni Noble Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-08 Description An account of the resource By: Yoni Noble Posted: 5/7/07 April 16th, 2007, the awful day when a disturbed student killed 32 people at Virginia Tech, will be forever etched in the Jewish consciousness. Liviu Librescu, professor of aeronautical engineering and a survivor of the Holocaust, sacrificed his own life for those of his students. The magnitude of this act is a cause for mournful reflection on a Jewish life cut short. Liviu Librescu was born in 1930 to a Jewish family in Ploiesti, Romania. During World War II, when Romania joined forces with Nazi Germany, he was imprisoned in a forced labor camp. Subsequently he was sent, along with his family and thousands of others, to a ghetto in the city of Focsani about 100 miles from his home. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from across Romania died in the Focsani Ghetto and in Transnistria, a Romanian-run Nazi killing field where Librescu&#39;s father, a lawyer, perished. Liviu survived the horrors of the Focsani Ghetto and the Holocaust and nobly committed his life to academia, studying aerospace engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, where he received both his undergraduate degree in 1952 and his Masters in 1953. In 1969 he received his Ph.D. in fluid Mechanics from Academia de Stiinte din Romania. Liviu Librescu was a brilliant mind and quickly established himself as a top researcher at the Bucharest Institute of Applied Mechanics and the Academy of Science of Romania. Yet his refusal to swear allegiance to the destructive Communist regime in Romania ultimately left him jobless. Without means to support his wife, Marlene, and two sons, Joe and Arie, Librescu tried to leave Romania for Israel. But under the Romanian communist regime Jews were not allowed to emigrate. In 1978 the Romanian government finally permitted Liviu to leave, but only after a direct request was made by the Prime Minister of Israel--Menachem Begin--to Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu. From 1979 to 1986 Librescu was a Professor of Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering at Tel-Aviv University and Haifa&#39;s Technion. In 1985 he took a sabbatical from Tel Aviv University to research and teach at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. He quickly became a vital part of the School of Engineering Science and Mechanics, and in 1986 decided to make Blacksburg and Virginia Tech his full-time home. These extraordinary accomplishments in the face of such tribulations made Livui Librescu a hero to those who knew him. But his actions on the morning of April 16, 2007 shine through as beacon of everything that embodies his heroic spirit. On that frightful morning when a deranged gunman chose Librescu&#39;s classroom as a target for his heinous, senseless murdering spree, Liviu Librescu barricaded himself against the classroom door in an attempt to lock the gunman out. He told his students to flee through a classroom window while he threw his body against the door. Librescu was fatally shot, but the gunman never managed to gain access and no student in the classroom was harmed. Following the tragedy, representatives of the Borough Park-based organization Chesed Shel Emes quickly contacted the morgue holding Librescu&#39;s remains. Before an autopsy could be performed, Librescu was brought to Brooklyn for a levaya (funeral service). Though Liviu had no family in Borough Park, hundreds of Jews packed the tiny funeral chapel to grieve, console, and, celebrate a life nobly lived. After stirring remarks by New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Librescu&#39;s body was flown to Israel for burial. The death of this great man forces us to reexamine our own grasp on life. What inspires a man to willingly forfeit his life in defense of another? Branded with the memories of the Holocaust, Librecu understood that life is fleeting and transitory. The end can come at any moment, without prior notice. When given the opportunity to save many lives , Liviu unflinchingly sacrificed his own, concretizing the boundless devotion he carried for humanity. Surely such a man deserves concrete memorials, at the very least a postage stamp or a place renamed in his honor. His name must soar as an inspiration for future generations -- not just for Jews, but for all. -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.yucommentator.com/media/storage/paper652/news/2007/05/07/Opinion/Liviu.Librescu.19302007-2890044.shtml> The Commentator - May 7, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Commentator Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Zev Eleff <eleff@yu.edu> Title A name given to the resource Liviu Librescu: 1930-2007 liviu librescu obituary response of jewish community yeshiva university Document A resource containing textual data.
