Creado por Carlos Albaladejo 18 de Abril del 2007 10:44 am Es la frase mÃ¡s repetida en las Ãºltimas horas en el sector educativo norteamericano. La triste noticia de la matanza provocada por un estudiante asiÃ¡tico en la universidad de Virginia Tech ha provocado reacciones a lo largo y ancho del paÃ­s: desde autoridades gubernamentales y universitarias hasta familiares y amigos pasando por las incontables respuestas aparecidas en tan poco tiempo en la Red. Hoy vamos a hablar de esto Ãºltimo, dado que la reacciÃ³n en la Red estÃ¡ siendo abrumadora, merece la pena decicarle un post al tema. Antes de ello, es inevitable descargar esa opiniÃ³n subjetiva que todos llevamos dentro, asÃ­ que tendrÃ¡n que perdonarme por el abuso del medio para expresar una opiniÃ³n personal. Entiendo que el derecho a tener un arma de fuego es un derecho fundamental recogido por la ConstituciÃ³n de los Estados Unidos, y que, por tanto, la conveniencia o no de ese derecho es un debate muy difÃ­cil. Nunca ha sido sencillo poner en tela de juicio parte de una ConstituciÃ³n, con todas las dudas, las polÃ©micas y las manifestaciones de uno y otro lado que se derivan de este tipo de discusones. Lo que no entiendo es por quÃ©, ante la dificultad de echar mano al motivo que se presenta como de mayor evidencia cada vez que algÃºn adolescente armado pierde la cabeza en EE.UU., se acaba arremetiendo siempre contra otros posibles motivos que a poco que se analicen caen por su propio peso. Me refiero a la continua acusaciÃ³n que se hace a los videojuegos violentos cada vez que ocurre una desgracia. En EspaÃ±a los adolescentes tambiÃ©n pasan muchas horas jugando a Grand Theft Auto, y ninguno de ellos se hace con un arma y dispara contra sus compaÃ±eros de clase. Sencillamente, porque en EspaÃ±a no es fÃ¡cil conseguir un arma. Recuerdo que cuando JosÃ© RabadÃ¡n asesinÃ³ a su familia con una katana en Murcia se hablÃ³ largo y tendido de la conveniencia de productos para adolescentes como Final Fantasy, pero el debate no durÃ³ demasiado tiempo, porque como era de esperar no se encontraron argumentos que justificaran el asesinato a travÃ©s de un videojuego. Finalmente, recuerdo tambiÃ©n las palabras de un buen amigo mÃ­o sobre los videojuegos violentos: "menos mal que existe Grand Theft Auto, si no pudiera liarme a puÃ±etazos en este videojuego cuando algo me enfada correrÃ­a el riesgo de querer intentarlo en la vida real". AhÃ­ queda eso, de nuevo disculpen por el abuso del espacio. Disertaciones morales aparte, es hora de volver al asunto principal de este post. Resulta conmovedor comprobar la ola de reacciones que la matanza ha provocado en la Red. A pesar de que no es la primera vez que una desgracia provoca un verdadero aluviÃ³n de movimientos en la Red (recuerden que en el caso de Katrina se encontraron vÃ­ctimas gracias al testimonio de algunos bloggers, o los vÃ­deos grabados con mÃ³viles durante los atentados en el metro de Londres en aquel 7J), sigue resultando conmovedor ver cÃ³mo una gran masa de usuarios se organiza a travÃ©s de la Red para expresar sus opiniones y condolencias. Por ejemplo, si entramos en Flickr y buscamos el tag "virginiatech", comprobaremos que hay una cantidad ingente de fotografÃ­as de muy diverso tiempo sobre la matanza. La mayorÃ­a de ellas ha sido publicada por alumnos de la universidad que han vivido de cerca la noticia. Collegiate Times, la publicaciÃ³n digital universitaria de Virginia Tech, estÃ¡ completamente volcado con la noticia estos dÃ­as. Resulta una buena fuente de informaciÃ³n, en la medida en que han dedicado todos sus esfuerzos en recoger reacciones a la tragedia. A travÃ©s de ella hemos podido saber que en Facebook (una comunidad virtual de universitarios, pronto les hablarÃ© de su equivalente espaÃ±ol) se ha registrado una cantidad ingente de reacciones. Hay mÃ¡s de 300 grupos sobre Virginia Tech. Uno de ellos, que pide un momento de silencio para las vÃ­ctimas, cuenta ya con mÃ¡s de 8.000 usuarios. Entre decenas de testimonios de estudiantes que estuvieron allÃ­, encontramos tambiÃ©n algÃºn grupo dedicado a lanzar un mensaje positivo: "estamos bien en VT". La rapidez con la que han aparecido blogs en memoria de las vÃ­ctimas es apabullante. Uno de ellos se ha llevado la palma mediÃ¡tica (OneDayBlogSilence), al tiempo que algÃºn que otro diario donde su autor recogÃ­a las impresiones vividas durante la matanza ha estado a punto de morir de Ã©xito (por culpa del conocido efecto slashdot). MenciÃ³n especial merece el profundo seguimiento de la dimensiÃ³n tecnolÃ³gica y social de la matanza que ha realizado la prestigiosa revista Wired: en su versiÃ³n digital no se les ha escapado ningÃºn detalle. Hablan de cÃ³mo el asesino habÃ­a anunciado la matanza en un sitio web de Virginia Tech, de cÃ³mo se han creado comunidades sobre VT en myspace, de cÃ³mo diferentes dominios relacionados con el nombre de Virginia Tech ya estÃ¡n en venta en eBay, etc. Finalmente, queda recordar el papel que los repositorios de vÃ­deo como Youtube han jugado en esta movilizaciÃ³n social. SegÃºn cuenta hoy el diario El Mundo, la bÃºsqueda "Virginia Tech Shooting" en Youtube arroja 777 resultados en este preciso instante. En la lista hay de todo: desde grabaciones caseras hasta cortes de televisiÃ³n pasando por reacciones en vÃ­deo a la matanza... Definitivamente Virginia Tech somos todos, pero tambiÃ©n es cierto que eso es lo que se dice siempre que hay un asesinato de determinada proyecciÃ³n social. Se lleva diciendo desde los peores tiempos de ETA, cuando Internet no tenÃ­a un papel relevante en las manifestaciones sociales. Ahora que la Red es el gran vehÃ­culo de nuestros mensajes, Virginia Tech somos todos. Potencial y realmente. -- Fuente Original: Educacion y Cultura - Sitio en Linea http://blogs.creamoselfuturo.com/educacion-y-cultura/2007/04/18/todos-somos-virginia-tech/ Derechos Reservados: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5.

Virginia Tech: El profesor que se convirtiÃ³ en hÃ©roe
Publicado por Jose Kaulen C April 18, 2007, 10:03 PM La de a continuaciÃ³n, es una historia emocionante, llena de sentido y digna de admiraciÃ³n por parte de todos nosotros. In Memoriam Liviu Librescu. Liviu Librescu, un profesor de 76 aÃ±os y muy respetado ingeniero aeronÃ¡utico que enseÃ±Ã³ en Virginia Tech por 20 aÃ±os, salvÃ³ la vida de varios estudiantes bloqueando la puerta de su sala de clases antes de que fuera muerto a balazos en la masacre, de acuerdo a los e-mails enviados por los alumnos a su seÃ±ora. "Mi padre bloqueÃ³ la puerta con su cuerpo y les dijo a sus alumnos que escaparan" ha dicho su hijo, Joe Librescu, en una entrevista telefÃ³nica desde su casa en las afueras de Tel Aviv. AgregÃ³ ademÃ¡s que los "estudiantes comenzaron a abrir las ventanas y a saltar hacia afuera". En el campus, los estudiantes hablan sobre el arrojo de Librescu: "Ã‰l debiera ser reconocido como un hÃ©roe" dice el estudiante de Virginia Tech Philip Huffstetler ademÃ¡s de sentir "que estÃ¡n en una gran deuda con su familia por el resto de nuestras vidas". "Ã‰l es la razÃ³n de que el estudiante (Seung-Hui) no entrara y matara a mÃ¡s gente; obviamente es un hÃ©roe", dice Asal Arad, otro estudiante. Librescu supo de una vida difÃ­cil desde que era niÃ±o. Cuando Rumania se uniÃ³ a las fuerzas nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, primero fue internado en un campo de trabajos forzados en Transnistria y luego deportado junto a su familia y miles de otros judÃ­os al ghetto central de Focsani. De acuerdo a un informe recopilado por el gobierno de Rumania en el 2004, entre 280 y 380 mil judÃ­os fueron asesinados por el rÃ©gimen rumano-nazi durante la guerra. Como un exitoso ingeniero durante el gobierno de postguerra comunista, Librescu encontrÃ³ trabajo en la agencia aeroespacial de Rumania, pero su carrera fue interrumpida en los 70's porque rechazÃ³ prestar juramento de obediencia al rÃ©gimen y finalmente fue despedido cuando pidiÃ³ autorizaciÃ³n para irse a Israel. De acuerdo con su hijo, despuÃ©s de aÃ±os de rechazo gubernamental, el primer ministro israelÃ­, Menachem Begin, intervino personalmente para que obtuviera el permiso de emigraciÃ³n para toda su familia. Se mudaron a Israel en 1978. Librescu deja Israel en 1985 para irse a Virginia en un aÃ±o sabÃ¡tico, pero terminarÃ­a quedÃ¡ndose. Joe Librescu estudiÃ³ en Virginia Tech entre 1989 y 1994. En Rumania, la comunidad acadÃ©mica lamenta profundamente la muerte de Librescu. "Es una gran pÃ©rdida" dijo Ecaterina Andronescu, rector de la Universidad PolitÃ©cnica de Bucarest, desde donde Librescu se graduÃ³ en 1953. "Tenemos una tremenda admiraciÃ³n por la forma en que reaccionÃ³ y defendiÃ³ a sus alumnos con su vida", agregÃ³. En la Universidad PolitÃ©cnica, donde Librescu recibiÃ³ un tÃ­tulo honorario en el 2000, su foto ha sido puesta sobre una mesa, junto a ella una vela encendida y las personas dejan flores alrededor. "Lo recordamos como un gran especialista en temas de aeronÃ¡utica. Deja cientos de importantes documentos", dice uno de los profesores, Nicolae Serban Tomescu. Librescu hizo muchas publicaciones y recibiÃ³ varios premios por sus trabajos. "Su trabajo fue en algÃºn sentido su vida", dijo Joe Librescu.

Creado por Ignacio Duelo 24 de Abril del 2007, 7:26 PM La reciente desgracia en el Virginia Tech, de los Estados Unidos, dejÃ³ mucho para analizar. Lo que cabe aquÃ­, como reflexiÃ³n, es el papel activo de los tres polos de la crisis -el estudiante psicÃ³pata, los estudiantes afectados y la casa de estudios- para comunicarse por sus propios medios con el pÃºblico. El estudiante coreano tuvo la sangre frÃ­a, antes de proseguir su matanza y suicidarse, para hacer una filmaciÃ³n casera donde advertÃ­a de sus propÃ³sitos y sus motivos para llevar a cabo la matanza, y demostrÃ³ un manejo espeluznante de la situaciÃ³n. Este video, despuÃ©s de que Ã©l mismo lo enviara a la NBC, fue visto en todo el mundo a travÃ©s de innumerables medios, entre ellos You Tube. Por el lado de la universidad, tuvo reflejos rÃ¡pidos ante la crisis. Su rector, Charles W. Steger, explicÃ³ que no habÃ­an cerrado las puertas del campus mientras la masacre tenÃ­a lugar, debido a que tienen 26.000 estudiantes y no sabÃ­an muy bien quÃ© estaba ocurriendo, por lo cual no querÃ­an sobreactuar. Durante los acontecimientos, los estudiantes encerrados en sus habitaciones se comunicaban entre ellos a travÃ©s de chats, blogs y otros recursos online. A la vez, la universidad les habÃ­a enviado un e-mail a todos alertÃ¡ndolos de la situaciÃ³n. Pero lo que se destaca en la actuaciÃ³n del Virginia Tech es el uso de los medios comunitarios en la comunicaciÃ³n de crisis. Su sitio en Internet fue virtualmente reemplazado por otro con informaciÃ³n al instante sobre las Ãºltimas novedades, que ahora ya tiene una secciÃ³n "in memoriam" con los nombres de las vÃ­ctimas. TambiÃ©n se encuentra allÃ­ una serie de podcasts de las autoridades. Actualmente, la parte del sitio dedicada a este tema tiene un dominio propio. La ventaja de la Universidad de Virginia es, como hemos dicho en otra columna, su situaciÃ³n de vÃ­ctima frente al gran villano, que resultÃ³ ser el estudiante coreano. Otros actores secundarios pueden ser afectados por este suceso impredecible: uno es el presidente George W. Bush, quien tuvo que ratificar su postura favorable a la libre tenencia de armas de fuego y debiÃ³ comunicar su pesar por la masacre al mismo tiempo. Otro es Corea del Sur, paÃ­s del que era oriundo el asesino. Si bien es obvio que no hay responsabilidad de esa naciÃ³n (y que el maniÃ¡tico podrÃ­a haber venido de cualquier otro lugar), de todas maneras la marca-paÃ­s queda ligada a este episodio en el inconciente de muchos Â¿QuÃ© habrÃ­a sucedido si este estudiante hubiera sido nacido en una naciÃ³n del Islam? AdemÃ¡s, el debate sobre las licencias para la portaciÃ³n de armas, que tiene a dos grandes sectores de opiniÃ³n enfrentados, tambiÃ©n se ve matizado por este suceso. No han faltado quienes culpan a los videojuegos, la mÃºsica moderna y las pelÃ­culas violentas de instigar a los jÃ³venes a la violencia, y de llevar a episodios extremos como Ã©ste. Y los medios masivos, dice, son grandes responsables en este sentido. Para un observador del campo de la comunicaciÃ³n, el episodio constituye un caso que demuestra hasta quÃ© punto hay crisis que son impredecibles. Si la Universidad de Virginia tenÃ­a escrito un manual de procedimientos para crisis, dudo bastante que hubiera contemplado una matanza de estudiantes a manos de un loco. En segundo lugar, este caso ratifica hasta quÃ© punto el tiempo de resoluciÃ³n de una crisis se ha acotado, y cÃ³mo el control del mensaje es cada vez mÃ¡s difÃ­cil de mantener. Los medios comunitarios de primera y segunda generaciÃ³n (e-mails y celulares, blogs y grupos virtuales) se superponen con las comunicaciones institucionales de los organismos que antes monopolizaban la producciÃ³n y la distribuciÃ³n del mensaje, y lo que es peor, compiten con ellos en credibilidad y cercanÃ­a emocional -- Fuente Original: Â¿PODEMOS HABLAR?

We were supposed to do a project either showing ourselves perceptually or in response to the Virginia Tech shootings. Since I already have a self-portrait for pretty much every year of my life, I decided to do the latter. After watching the Cho footage and some other student-captured footage on YouTube, I tried to think of the different reactions people might have and sketched out a rough group of people. I ended up adding some more words later. I also added some newspaper clippings related to the shootings. The puzzle pieces represent a concept I was thinking about. Originally I had come up with "Nobody wants to have a view of the world with pieces that are missing, just like no one is satisfied with a puzzle that can't be completed" in regards to the importance of protecting endangered species, but it works here too... think about all the families and friends that lost someone close to them in the blink of an eye. Now there are empty spaces in their lives where those people should have been, but now aren't because of this... Yeah, cheesey, but I like my analogy. I threw in some silver you can't see for all the black. All the eyes are either orange or maroon (the school's colors) as well as a few of the puzzle pieces. I admit I rushed, but the teacher liked it, but then this one student who likes to give me (and only me, apparently) constructive criticism all the time said the two figures on the left were the same height and took away from the rest of the drawing, and that they should be cropped out. I've looked at it and I -guess- I see what he means, but I like the composition like it is, honestly, and the girl about to pray (who reminds me of Kraehe from Princess Tutu) is one of my favorites), so... O_o And then everyone got into a big discussion over whether it took away from it or not and I just sat there and muttered "wow, we're arguing". Seriously... I think maybe he thinks I think too highly of my own work because the teacher praises me all the time (I really haven't liked much of the work I did in class at all, and always try to criticise myself - which doesn't work cuz Richard's always like "WTC?"). I liked Lindsay's and Scott's pieces. I really liked Lindsay's, it was way neat. Anyway, sorry for the IRL rant. Time: ...er... maybe 3.5 hours? I dunno.

Haiyan Cheng's experience on April 16 and people's responses
Hi, all: Thank you all for your concern, I'm safe. Here's what was happened to me yesterday. I'm so proud of all my students, please pray for our community to recover from this huge lost and sorrow! Take care all! Haiyan Cheng ******************************************************** It was April 16 2007ï¼Œa cold and windy morning for Blacksburg. I have class to teach at 9:05 AM. It is "CS4414-Issues in scientific computing", a class for senior student in CS and Math students. Whenever my advisor went to conference, I would take over the lecture. I went to my office in Torgerson Hall at 8:50, checked email, left my cell phone charging, (last Friday there was the bomb threat that made us evacuated immediately, that time I remembered to take my cell phone and laptop, but forgot the charger) and left laptop in the office and went to Norris Hall to teach. One of my colleagues asked earlier where is my classroom. I told him Norris 204 or 205 (the first classroom on the left hand side at the second floor), I'm not sure. So the first thing I went to the second floor, Norris hall, is to check my room number. It is indeed 205, 204 is across the hall, I took a quick look at the classroom, about 20 students were sitting there, an old professor with white hair was taking his teaching material out of his briefcase. At 9:00 am, I went into the classroom, everything was as usual, the window opened a little bit, we can feel the breeze. I started the "Numerical solution of ODE" lecture. I covered analytical solution, discussion on existence and uniqueness, there was about 15 minutes left till the end of the lecture, it was about 9:40. Several loud "Band, Bang, Bang"came from outside of the classroom. They were really loud. I was not sure where it came from, but it seemed very close to us. We all thought it was some kind of construction. Then it stopped for 5-10 sec. I was about to start another topic on stability analysis. Then the sound came again. Teresa, the female student sitting close to the door stood up and went to check. I followed her, with the lecture note still in my hand. We were standing at the door, sticking our heads out and checking what happened. The sound came from room 208, the room across the hall, to the left of our classroom. The door is closed. I gazed at that door for 2 seconds. Then the door opened, a guy walked out, I only saw him 1 sec, but the most shocking thing is that he's holding a black handgun. He wears black, his face is square (roundish). Both I and Teresa came back in immediately, the gun shot right besides our ear. My ear is hurting by the loud sound. The first thing we came back in the classroom is telling everyone down, an Indian student said, let's block the door with table, so he can't get in. 4 guys in my class moved the big table next to the podium and blocked the door. (There's no window and no lock on the door. When there's lecture going on, usually we left the classroom door wide open.) While we were doing this, the gun shot keeps firing outside of the classroom. I and another girl were behind the podium. The other 2 girls were at the back of the classroom. 4 guys are lying on the ground in front, pushing against the desk legs. After about 1 minute shooting in the hallway, the gunman approaches our classroom. He was trying to open the door, but those students push really hard, then he began to shoot the door. The bullets came through the door, woodchips and metal pieces are everywhere. One bullet even hit the podium. Two of my students at the back underneath the desk were calling 911 with their cell phones, and talking to the police, they told the police there were 11 people in classroom 205, the gunman is still outside shooting. After the gunman tried several times, he gave up and began to shot somewhere else. The gun shot keeps going, "Bang, Bang, Bang", all I can do is knee down there and pray to God "Please stop him, please stop the gun fire, please..." Then we heard the police car siren from outside. One student asked that if we should jump out of the window. It's only the second floor. But we all thought that we should stay here, until things are clear outside. The gun shot sounds further and further. But still not stop. Before we went out to check, we already heard about 20, after we came in, we heard about 30-40, or even more than that. It was terrible. We waited and waited....We heard several unclear shout from outside "show me your hand, show me your hand" etc...but we are not sure if that were police or not. Until finally there was the knock at the door. Those guys made sure they were police, and we opened the door. The police had a gun in his hand, asking us all hands up, and go to the back of the classroom. He asked if anybody got injured. We told him no, then he asked us to sit down, keep calm. Then he was about to leave. One student asked him to close the door, since we thought they might still be searching the gunman. He said we were safe, and called another police officer to come at the door, 1 minute later, the police officer told us to stand in a line and run after him, leave our personal stuff behind. I was standing close to the podium, so I quickly grabbed my key and coat, running with the police. I saw the clip on the floor right outside of our classroom. We try not to step on the blood and run quick. I didn't even look at the other classroom, but Lisa running right behind me started to cry, I turned around, held her hand, we run together out of the Norris hall and into the Randolph Hall, while still shocking, the first thing I did is borrowed a laptop from another student and sent an email to my husband and our research group, telling them I was safe. I am so proud of all my students, they did a great job. We did the right things to save our lifes. I am so sorry about those students and professors, I can't believe 1 hour ago, I saw them all sitting in the classroom. So far, my cell phone and laptop are still in my office in Torgerson hall, since the building is closed, I'm almost disconnected from the outside world. All I did is using my neighbor's Internet to reply some messages that concerned about my safety. It was a terrible tragedy for Virginia Tech, for Blacksburg. Please pray for those families that lost of their loved ones. Let's all cherish every minute of our life. ******************************************************** Commentsï¼š I really admire that Haiyan is so brave and she even saved people's lives. I am pround of her and pround of being a Chinese. ******************************************************** I am a former VT student, I have read all the emails and news regarding this tragedy. I am so proud that we Chinese people have such a brave student who saved a lot of lives. May God bless all of us. ******************************************************** Hi Haiyan, Thank you so much. I am very proud of you. I sincerely admire your bravery and tact. We are all shocked by this unimaginable tragedy. Wish you all got recovered soon. ******************************************************** my dear friends blacksburg, means beautiful memory to me and my family. since yesterday, we were shocked. but piece by piece we know what happened. i'm proud for all of you, been through this tragedy, we saw heroes arise, we saw people helping each other. ACSS did good job on calm down fellow members. every single one of you is a hero to me. my salute extend to all of you. my wife, my unborn child wish you all recover from this. it's a tough job to do, but we all believe in you. let's go hokies!!! zheng ******************************************************** Definitely, let's give Haiyan a big applause for what she did to save people's lives. Not everyone could keep calm and respond correctly like she did. Haiyan, you did a very excellent job! Pray for your recovering as soon as possible from the nightmare. ******************************************************** Frankly, telling truth doesn't necessarily mean defying of victims. Help identify truth is also a kind of respect, especially given so many questions not answered yet. Tell Media the truth is our responsibility and whether accepting or not is in their side. J.L ******************************************************** I guess I am one of the foreigners on the list and I want to say that I have sent Haiyan's story to several friends and family members. My mother, who lives in Gainesville, FL, said she read something like that story in her paper on Tuesday morning. My husband and I applaud the actions of Haiyan--what a brave and selfless thing to do, to be able to keep one's wit together and save others--and I think it's important that everyone's story be told when possible. As far as I can tell, the media is not ignoring stories--their goal is to gain as many viewers as possible. All students, regardless of ethnic origin or country, are part of the VT community. Thank you all for everything you bring to our country and our community. Tell your stories when you can. Everyone benefits. Cindy Bertelsen VT alumnae, HNFE ******************************************************** Dear all, First of all, Haiyan was definitely brave. She and her students (e.g.Teresa and the Indian student) had been a team acting smartly and bravely to save their lives. But more important, no matter she is a hero or not, we all love her and are so thankful that she survived this terrible event. Let's pray for the victims and their families and all the alives. Stay safe, ******************************************************** Hi, all: Again, thank you all for your concern about me. There are so many news about me right now in both US and China. I can't believe how fast the news spread these days. I got lots of emails and phone calls everyday day from all sorts of medias, (which made my cell phone airtime used up super quick, I guess most of you had the similar situation). I stayed after midnight in office to process emails. At first I returned every phone calls as soon as I got my cell phone, but some of the media started to dig my personal info, which I thought is totally unnecessary, the focus should be the tragedy. I think I'm not a heroine, I wasn't one of the person who blocked the door. I'm just one of the survivors, which is written in the short story and sent to you guys earlier. For most of the medias, all I told them was to use the story I wrote and the interview clip by Washington Post. That was my experience, that was what happened to me, according to my memory. Talking about the same tragedy again and again did bring my memory back to those horrible moments again and again. I wish you all can understand. All I want is to get back to normal life ASAP as you all wished. If necessary, I will talk to one of the major medias, so that there will only be one correct information source. There must be a reason that my life was spared, I wish all of us can learn something, live our life to the fullest, enjoy every moment with the loved one, think positive... Yesterday there was the disaster relief truck on campus that provided free food and drinks for all the community members. There are many counseling services on campus. Today while I stopped at the red light at the corner of college street and Main street. There was an American girl sitting on a bench, smiling and waving to the passengers and drivers passing by. There was a sign besides her reads: "Need someone to hear, I will listen. (Free hugs)...." I didn't cry when I was in danger, but at that moment I can't stop my tears running down. At this time, all we need is the healing, not only for me, but for all the Hokies and families.I was really touched by the candlelight vigil last night, at the moment when all Hokies are united, I saw hope... I'm available to you guys for visit, Thanks for ACSS and everyone in the community. Let's go! Hokies! Haiyan Cheng -- Original Source:Cheng,Haiyan's narrative, and compiled by Mi,Na
FM slashes U.S. untruthful reports on campus shooting
www.chinaview.cn 2007-04-18 16:42:35 BEIJING, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao Wednesday criticized some U.S. media's irresponsible reports on the Virginia Tech shooting before finding out the truth, calling on relevant sides to eliminate baneful impact of the incident. Following Monday's shooting tragedy at Virginia Tech, some U.S. media reported the gunman was a Chinese student. Later, the U.S. police identified the gunman who killed 32 people as a student from the Republic of Korea, Cho Seung-Hui. Calling the mass shooting a "very serious" incident, Liu said it was a terribly wrong move to give irresponsible reports before finding out the truth, which had violated the professional moral of the press. The Chinese government and people are very concerned about this incident and lamented the deaths, the spokesman said, adding China expresses sincere sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims as well as the injured, hoping they will recover at an early date. Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing conveyed condolences to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice over the shooting in a telegram Tuesday, expressing sincere concern to the U.S. government and those affected by the shooting. Monday's shooting rampage is the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. history. Liu Jianchao said on Tuesday evening China is "shocked" by the tragedy and strongly condemns the violence. -- Original Source: XINHUA Online, China http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-04/18/content_5993865.htm
Virginia Tech massacre an unbelievably sad event
Friday, April 20, 2007 - The China Post A total of 32 people were killed Monday in a Virginia Tech campus building in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. The gunman, a student from South Korea, took down his victims in two attacks that were spread two hours apart. The tragic incident has sent shockwaves around the world. We wish to express our sympathy to the victims' families and hope they will get all the help they need to make it through this very difficult time. The other students at the university should also be assisted so they can overcome the shock and grief they are suffering. U.S. President George W. Bush has ordered flags flown at half staff across the nation. Speaking at a memorial service on the Virginia Tech campus, Bush said "it's impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering." "Those whose lives were taken did nothing to deserve their fate," the president said. "They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now they're gone -- and they leave behind grieving families, and grieving classmates, and a grieving nation." At first it was reported that the alleged killer was a student from China. Later, however, police found the gunman was a fourth-year student from South Korea, described in the media as a "loner." Authorities said he was a legal resident of the United States. The suspect committed suicide after the attacks. Police said there was no evidence of any accomplice at either of the two attacks, but are exploring the possibility. The shocking incident has prompted debate and discussion about the prevalence of gun ownership in the United States. An Indonesian mother, according to a news report, bemoaned the availability of guns in the United States after learning her son was among those killed in the massacre, while South Koreans expressed shame and shock that the gunman came from their country. "Why can people bring guns to campus?" the Indonesian mother said, recalling third-year doctoral student Partahi Lumbantoruan, who had such a promising future. The family had sold property and a car to finance his civil engineering studies. The lax gun-control legislation in the U.S. is something on which people in many parts of the world don't agree. Here in Taiwan, gun control legislation is tough and gun possession is generally confined to law-enforcement personnel. The local Gun Control Act even bans the production of toy guns that could be converted into life-threatening firearms, or those bearing similarities to real guns in appearance, material, structure and trigger device. The strict gun-control legislation here has without a doubt played an important role in preventing violent crime from rising rapidly. In the United States, there is a powerful gun lobby, and legislators fear that advocacating stricter gun control would result in a loss of votes. Another reason why guns are readily available is the common American belief that in a free country, citizens should be free to own guns. The slogan of the lobbyists is: "Guns don't kill people, people do." Well, that's like saying, "Bombs don't kill people, people do." If restrictions on gun possession in the United States were stricter, the Virginia Tech shooting rampage -- and many other campus shootings that have occurred in the past -- might not have occurred. Hopefully, this tragic event will lead to vigorous efforts in the U.S. to pass some sensible gun control legislation. -- Original Source: The China Post http://www.chinapost.com.tw/archive/detail.asp?cat=1&id=107654&d=2007420

Se entrega medalla pÃ³stuma a estudiantes
Por Ricardo Valdivieso y Yolanda Puyana Viernes 11 de Mayo del 2007 DespuÃ©s de la tragedia ocurrida en Blacksburg el 16 de abril, Sigma Delta Pi chapter de Virginia Tech, asÃ­ como el profesorado y cuerpo estudiantil de esta instituciÃ³n, continÃºa con su agenda de trabajo en la organizaciÃ³n de la ceremonia de graduaciÃ³n hispana. Como en aÃ±os anteriores, esta sociedad entregÃ³ la ceremonia de graduaciÃ³n y reconocimiento acadÃ©mico a 30 estudiantes hispanos de Virginia Tech. Estos graduados con grados de licenciatura, maestrÃ­a y Ph.D.,fueron distinguidos con la medalla Gesta Hispana por parte de esta asociaciÃ³n. Este aÃ±o, esta ceremonia de graduaciÃ³n adquiere un significado muy especial, ya que la misma se dedicÃ³ a los estudiantes Juan Ramon OrtÃ­z OrtÃ­z originario de Puerto Rico, candidato para la maestrÃ­a de ingenierÃ­a civil, y al peruano Daniel Alejandro PÃ©rez Cueva. Estos dos jÃ³venes hispanos a los que se les entregÃ³ su medalla en forma pÃ³stuma, fueron dos de las vÃ­ctimas de la masacre en la que otros 30 estudiantes y profesores perdieron la vida. Los hechos trÃ¡gicos del pasado mes, que han comovido no sÃ³lo a las comunidades de Blacksburg y Virginia sino al mundo entero, no deben ser un punto de referencia cuando se habla de Virginia Tech, una instituciÃ³n de un alto nivel acadÃ©mico y una de los mejores institutos politÃ©cnicos en el paÃ­s. Esta universidad fuÃ© fundada en 1872 y cuenta con mÃ¡s de 60 programas de licenciatura y 140 maestrias y doctorados. TambiÃ©n estÃ¡ considerada dentro de las 100 universidades en el paÃ­s con mejores programas de investigaciÃ³n. Fundada en 1919, Sigma Delta Pi es una Sociedad Honoraria Hispana y miembro de Association of College Honor Societies. SDP honra a estudiantes que han completado tres aÃ±os en el estudio del espaÃ±ol a nivel universitario Antonio FernÃ¡ndez VÃ¡squez, associate professor of Spanish y el director del Intensive Second Language Institute de Virginia Tech, y quien recientemente ha sido electado vice presidente regional de Sigma Delta Pi, mencionÃ³ que el capitulo de SDP de Virginia Tech se ha ganado la condecoraciÃ³n "Capitulo Honor y MÃ©rito" los Ãºltimo tres aÃ±os de entre mÃ¡s de 500 capÃ­tulos en la naciÃ³n. La comunidad hispana del Valle de Roanoke se uniÃ³ a la celebraciÃ³n de esta ceremonia de graduaciÃ³n, felicitando a los graduados hispanos, que al completar sus estudios superiores son ejemplo y modelos a seguir para muchos de nuestros niÃ±os y jÃ³venes. En un mundo como el de hoy, dinÃ¡mico y voluble, es necesario recordar el papel de las universidades. AdemÃ¡s de educar un rol importante de una universidad es el de establecer lazos comunicantes con la comunidad y ser un reflejo de la sociedad donde se encuentra. El pensador francÃ©s Michel Maffesoli cita en su libro Posmodernidad: "Toda Universidad debe aspirar a ser una ciudad, sÃ³lo asÃ­ se podrÃ¡ evitar la tajante separaciÃ³n entre el estudio y la vida diaria, entre el aula y la calle, entre el claustro y la urbe." DespuÃ©s de la tragedia, Virginia Tech continÃºa dinÃ¡micamente con su ritmo de vida, cumpliendo con su labor formativa y manteniendo estrechos vÃ­nculos con su comunidad. -- Fuente Original: The Roanoke Times Roanoke.com - Roanoke, VA. http://www.roanoke.com/columnists/spanish/wb/wb/xp-116444

El mundo entero expresa sus condolencias por la masacre de Virginia
20MINUTOS.ES. 18.04.2007 - 04:54h Ban Ki-moon, el Papa o Javier Solana han mostrado su pesar. PaÃ­ses 'enemigos' como IrÃ¡n o Venezuela tambiÃ©n han condenado los asesinatos.<br La matanza perpetrada el lunes en la Universidad PolitÃ©cnica de Virginia, que dejÃ³ 33 muertos, incluido el atacante, ha sido condenada por lÃ­deres polÃ­ticos y religiosos de todo el mundo. El primer ministro britÃ¡nico, Tony Blair, en nombre del Reino Unido, expresÃ³ su "profunda tristeza" y solidaridad a los estadounidenses, en especial a las familias de las vÃ­ctimas". La reina Isabel II, que tiene previsto viajar a Estados Unidos en mayo prÃ³ximo, tambiÃ©n manifestÃ³ que estÃ¡ "conmocionada y entristecida" por la tragedia. Desde Ciudad del Vaticano se informÃ³ de que el Papa Benedicto XVI reza por las vÃ­ctimas y familiares de esta "tragedia sin sentido", como fue calificada por el sumo pontÃ­fice. El secretario general de la ONU, Ban Ki-moon, surcoreano como el presunto asesino, el estudiante Cho Seung Hui, de 23 aÃ±os, rechazÃ³ el mÃºltiple crimen y afirmÃ³ que "la matanza rampante de civiles inocentes es inaceptable, por lo que lo condeno en los tÃ©rminos mÃ¡s enÃ©rgicos." Javier Solana fue profesor durante cuatro aÃ±os de la universidad atacada El Alto Representante para la PolÃ­tica Exterior y de Seguridad ComÃºn de la UE, Javier Solana, que fue profesor de la Universidad PolitÃ©cnica de Virginia, expresÃ³ su pena desde MÃ©xico, donde se encuentra realizando una visita oficial. "Para mÃ­ es un acontecimiento mÃ¡s doloroso, si cabe, porque he pasado cuatro aÃ±os de mi vida en esa universidad dando clase y recuerdo con gran emociÃ³n los aÃ±os que pasÃ© allÃ­", seÃ±alÃ³. Incluso los 'enemigos' IrÃ¡n, un paÃ­s que ha sido acusado por EE.UU. de apoyar a grupos insurgentes en Irak e intentar desarrollar un programa nuclear secreto y que no tiene relaciones diplomÃ¡ticas con Washington desde principios de los aÃ±os ochenta, se sumÃ³ a la cadena de condolencias. Una nota emitida por el portavoz del Ministerio de Exteriores, Mohamad Ali Huseini, dice que "las acciones que perjudican a los civiles inocentes, cualquiera que sea su etnia, religiÃ³n o nacionalidad, son condenables y contrarias a los valores de la Humanidad". El presidente de Venezuela, Hugo ChÃ¡vez, que encabeza la oposiciÃ³n a EEUU en LatinoamÃ©rica, tambiÃ©n manifestÃ³ sus "condolencias al pueblo y a las familias de las vÃ­ctimas de esta horrible masacre". Desde Ecuador, paÃ­s en sintonÃ­a con Venezuela, el vicepresidente, Lenin Moreno, seÃ±alÃ³: "estoy muy apenado y quiero manifestÃ¡rselo asÃ­ al pueblo de EEUU, ese gran pueblo, del que tenemos tantas cosas que imitar y tantas cosas que no imitar". RepÃºblica Dominicana se sumÃ³ a la corriente de pesar y su presidente, Leonel FernÃ¡ndez, enviÃ³ una carta a su colega estadounidense, George W. Bush, en la que seÃ±alÃ³ que es "importante" que EEUU sienta el apoyo moral y la solidaridad "que deseamos expresarle las naciones que apreciamos el valor de la vida y respetamos los derechos humanos". El Consejo Mundial de las Iglesias (CMI), expresÃ³ desde Ginebra (Suiza) su pesar y tambiÃ©n su inquietud por el uso de las armas de fuego en Estados Unidos. El secretario general del CMI, Samuel Kobia, seÃ±alÃ³ que "todos somos virginianos en nuestras simpatÃ­as (hacia las vÃ­ctimas), pero muchos en el mundo nos preguntamos tambiÃ©n por la vulnerabilidad de los ciudadanos de Virginia ante el mal uso de las armas no reguladas". -- Fuente Original: 20 Minutos.es - EspaÃ±a http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/224436/0/mundo/expresa/condolencias/ Derechos Reservados: Creative Commons Reconocimiento 2.1 EspaÃ±a.

These lights were placed on campus above the commuter lot.
What a relief, the killer turned out not to be a Chinese. What a relief, no members of ACSS were killed. - However, it is the same. The same horror, the same grief. The killer, a sick person went extreme to the extreme. He didn't do what he did because he was Korean. Anyone in that mental state, with easy access to weapons could have done it. The grief over the lost innocent lives is equally unbearable. I am thrilled to know that I can still see the smiles in Beibei's beautiful bright eyes because Haiyan and her students did what they did. I am relieved to know my employee will brighten up again soon since his best buddy was one of the luck two in the whole classroom. But some other children's eyes are dimmed forever. Some other friends' heart will be heavy for their loss forever. In this small town, it is easy to find links to some of the victims. A colleague, a friend's friend, a child's friend's parent, a neighbor ... Dr. L, he was always so gentle, so friendly when he used to shop at Oasis with his wife and daughters. He always said humbly "Thank you so much!", emphasis on "so much". My heart ache for his tragedy. Jocelyne, the French instructor, she was like a beam of sunshine every time I saw her. I never knew who she was or what she did until tonight. Last time I saw her, she cheerfully offered to help me organize a cooking class so she can learn to cook the "wonderful" international foods. My heart ache for her tragedy. Jamie used to always stop by our side after shopping at Eats, always wearing a smile. I will always miss the meat skewers cooked by the Indonesian guy. I will always miss the dances by the Lebanese girl. Ultimately, we are all linked as human beings. Imagine the horror and pain they suffered; imagine the shock and agony that the families and friends of the victims when they receive the news of such horrid deaths of their loved ones. You will feel the pain of those other human-beings. It is a tragedy of the human race. It is time to mourn. It is time to live,not only for ourselves, but also for the not-living. Do something, as many of us in our ACSS community are doing quietly in their own personal ways. Do something that keeps the spirit up for the Hokies, for the Chinese Community in this far-from-home little town, for all the Blacksburg people. Considering the scale of the tragedy, living as survivors is hard. Give them space and peace. Help them heal. Go to vigils. Donate to Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund or similar funds. Or just be a supportive citizen of Blacksburg and VT. Everyone at VT and in Blacksburg are in this together, you be it yellow or black or white. Let's heal ourselves and help heal each other. Let's live the best we can. Sincerely, Xiaojin
