Bush on Wednesday honored Professor Liviu Librescu, an Israeli Holocaust survivor who died trying to keep a gunman from shooting his students in a <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3388734,00.html">killing spree</a> at Virginia Tech University. Librescu, an aeronautics engineer and teacher at the school for 20 years, saved the lives of several students by using his body to barricade a classroom door before he was gunned down in Monday&#39;s massacre. "That day we saw horror, but we also saw quiet acts of courage," Bush said at a memorial service held at the US Holocaust Museum to a crowd that included many survivors. "We saw this courage in a teacher named Liviu Librescu. With the gunman set to enter his class, this brave professor blocked the door with his body while his students fled to safety. On the Day of Remembrance, this Holocaust survivor gave his own life so that others may live. And this morning we honor his memory and we take strength from his example. <b>&#39;You who have found refuge in a Jewish homeland&#39;</b> President Bush continued to say that, "This is a place devoted to memory. Inside this building are etched the words of the prophet Isaiah: You are my witness. As part of this witness, these walls show how one of the world&#39;s most advanced nations embraced a policy aimed at the annihilation of the Jewish people." Turning his attention to the Iranian nuclear threat, the American president said, "You who bear the tattoos of death camps hear the leader of Iran declare that the Holocaust is a myth. You who have found refuge in a Jewish homeland know that tyrants and terrorists have vowed to wipe it from the map. And you who have survived evil know that the only way to defeat it is to look it in the face and not back down." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and newly appointed US ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, were also on hand for the Holocaust memorial service. <b>Associated Press contributed to the report</b> -- Original Source: <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3389555,00.html">http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3389555,00.html</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Efrat Yaari,Marketing Manager,Ynetnews (Efrat-ya@y-i.co.il) Title A name given to the resource Bush honors Israeli professor killed in Virginia Tech shooting bush holocaust librescu memorial service washington Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Brent Jesiek Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ryan Bray Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-07-17 Description An account of the resource By Ryan Bray GateHouse Media Thu May 03, 2007, 02:22 PM EDT Scituate - In the two weeks since the Virginia Tech shootings swept through the college town of Blacksburg, Va., people nationwide are still struggling to grasp and adjust to the tragic events that left 33 students and faculty members at the school dead. But miles an miles away from all the mourning and controversy, it&#39;s business as usual at Scituate High School, as students and faculty members go about their daily routines. Students rush about the halls while seniors, many of whom are in the process of hearing back from colleges and making their plans for the fall, count down the remaining days of their high school careers. "It hasn&#39;t impacted them at all," said Sherri Lewis, director of guidance at the high school, regarding the impact of the shooting on outgoing students. "They all seem very excited." But while students have carried on with things as they otherwise would, that&#39;s not to say that the Virginia Tech shootings haven&#39;t had some effect on the school, however slight. Principal Donna Nuzzo-Mueller said the shootings are of greater concern to teachers than to students, whom have come to learn of the tragedies from a distance through television and the news. "I think our educators dwell on this more than the young people do," Nuzzo-Mueller said. "Developmentally at their age, I think it&#39;s difficult to grasp the severity of it all at that stage of their lives." However, students are reacting in their own ways. Nuzzo-Mueller said several school groups and clubs have rallied to raise money for a fund established for the families of the shooting victims. Others, she said, have likely dealt with the tragedy outside the school with friends and family. "We certainly have kids who want to reach out and help, and that&#39;s natural," she said. The shootings almost immediately brought attention to the issue of how to better prepare and respond in the event of a similar emergency in the future. Administrators and campus police officials came under fire from parents and the media in the days following the event for what some saw as an inadequate response to the shootings, while locally, Gov. Deval Patrick met with administrators from public colleges and universities across the state to discuss how to best safeguard students in the event of another shooting. But Nuzzo-Mueller said at the high school, there isn&#39;t much the school can likely do to prepare for a similar attack beyond the school&#39;s current emergency evacuation plan. She said incidents of the scale and magnitude of Virginia Tech or Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., could never be fully prepared for in spite of the best efforts from faculty and administrators. "It all just shows that it could happen to anybody," Nuzzo-Mueller said. "It&#39;s a problem that just exists. There&#39;s always a slice of humanity that struggles with this issue. No matter what plan are put in place, you&#39;d likely have to adapt to the situation should one arise." Superintendent of Schools Mark Mason said he would meet with security advisers next week to discuss the potential for increased security within the district&#39;s six schools. But while student safety is always top priority, Mason said a balance must be struck between what&#39;s too much and not enough. "It&#39;s a philosophical question," he said. "We want to keep our schools safe, but do we want to keep the kids in lockdown mode throughout the year?" Nuzzo-Mueller said she is uncertain if any outgoing seniors will be attending Virginia Tech in the fall. She said that while graduates have gone on to attend the school in the past, it is not common from year to year. -- Original Source: Scituate Mariner <a href="http://www.townonline.com/scituate/education/x1592158543">http://www.townonline.com/scituate/education/x1592158543</a> Licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0</a>.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sara Hood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ben Eisen Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-07-10 Description An account of the resource By Ben Eisen Sun Staff Writer Apr 25 2007 "Half of college students report having felt extremely depressed," said Ray Kim, assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to a crowd of students in Goldwin Smith&#39;s Hollis E. Cornell auditorium yesterday afternoon. "60 percent of students report feeling absolutely hopeless at times. 10 percent of students reported seriously considering suicide. How many people knew it was this bad?" No one raised their hands. Kim was one of four speakers on a panel yesterday afternoon to speak about the Virginia Tech tragedy and Cornell&#39;s level of preparedness for such emergencies. Hosted by Omega Phi Beta Sorority and Lambda Phi Epsilon, the goal of the discussion was to bring the past week&#39;s events home to our campus. Other speakers included George Sutfin, head of crime prevention at Cornell Police, Chief Curtis Ostrander who has worked for CUPD since before the 1983 shooting at Cornell, and Dr. Ya-Shu Liang, who works for Counseling and Psychological Services. "Every time something happens [response and prevention] plans are reevaluated," Sutfin said. "Columbine got everyone reevaluating response," added Ostrander. "New training was developed. I was one of the first officers who received training." Sutfin told the audience that Cornell is now in the process of making a contract with a company that alerts everyone on campus of emergencies by text message. "If something happens at an elementary school, it&#39;s easy to shut down, but Cornell is a small city, and it&#39;s very hard to shut down the entire campus. Studies show that 90 percent of students have cell phones, so [the new plan will] send texts to everyone in a circumference." Though the officers were unable not comment on their current response plans to the specific type of emergency that happened at Virginia Tech, Sutfin said that CUPD senior staff sat in on meetings to discuss changes to the plans while the panel was going on. He added that a lot of prevention rests in the hands of students. According to Sutfin, many students let unknown people into their dormitories, putting everyone at risk. He cited an incident when, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, he was able to get into a dorm, go into an unlocked room and "steal" a computer, without ever being asked who he was. Kim said that there is added pressure in a university setting, which often drives people to need help. He said that University policy forbids the administration from telling parents when their students show signs of problems unless the student provides consent, and Gannett and Cayuga Medical cannot tell the administration when students need help. This means that a lot of responsibility for reaching out to those in trouble rests in the hands of students. Liu spoke about the infrastructure that Gannett has implemented to help at-risk students through CAPS. "If students are in danger to themselves or others, we may break confidentiality," Liu said. "If someone called the hotline and said that they were going to kill people, we would force them into the hospital." She added that students have also used CAPS to help them cope with the Virginia Tech tragedy. This panel was the only community forum organized by students, according to Antonia de Jesus &#39;09 of Omega Phi Beta, who helped arrange the event. "I got a call from my mother crying the day it happened," said de Jesus. "She had seen the pictures of all students. I looked it up on the internet, and I thought that something had to be done, so we put it all together." Tiffany Brutus &#39;07, president of Omega Phi Beta, was concerned because Cornell students had not done more in response to the tragedy. "It&#39;s a big reflection on our generation. People care about it in the now, but not a couple days later. If you don&#39;t go to Virginia Tech, people forget about it." -- Original Source: <a href=http://cornellsun.com/node/23152> Cornell Daily Sun - April 25, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Jonny Lieberman <jdl46@cornell.edu>, <lieberman.jonny@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource C.U.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Na Mi Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource 萧方 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-07-22 Description An account of the resource 作者：萧方 　来源于：凤凰周刊 　发布时间：2007-6-20 22:18:06 美国非主流媒体的一篇并不确定的报道，导致了中国网络的一场狂欢和躁动，直至外交部发言人出面指责，要求道歉。这本是与中国人并不直接相关的一次美国恶性校园枪击案，但却让中国人的民族心理再次展露无遗。 　　美国弗吉尼亚理工大学4月16日发生校园枪击案，造成包括持枪歹徒在内的33人死亡。此次校园屠杀尤其血腥，堪称美国建国以来最严重的校园枪击案。虽然远在大洋彼岸，但这起枪击案在大陆却引发大规模关注，其原因是枪手为亚裔，甚至一度被误传为是中国人。 　　中国不满美媒体误报 　　从4月16日至17日上午，凶手的身份可谓是扑朔迷离。案发当天，在警方和校方尚未确认凶手是否仅为1人的情况下，美联社的一张照片被美国各大媒体频繁传用。照片上显示，警察将一名亚裔年轻男子制服在草地上。这不免让人产生猜测。 　　由于枪击案现场混乱以及凶手自杀，美国警方16日到17日夜间一直在努力确认凶手的身份。期间，美国各大媒体对凶手的身份多沿用警方在枪击案发生后很快提出的说法：凶手是一名"亚裔男子"。 　　但4月17日出版的美国《芝加哥太阳时报》，该报专栏女作家麦克尔·斯尼德的文章却将中国人推到前台。斯尼德引用她的匿名消息源说，弗吉尼亚大学枪击案凶手可能是一名24岁的中国男子，这名男子在上海获得学生签证后，于2006年8月从美国西岸旧金山入境。调查人员并不认为他与任何恐怖集团有关联，作案动机也不清楚。 　　大陆官方网媒中新网随后引用该报道称，发生在弗吉尼亚理工大学的特大枪案嫌犯身份初步认定，该男子是一名持学生签证去美国就读的中国留学生，现年24岁，警方称他并不是弗吉尼亚理工大学的学生。 　　消息一经发布，立即在中国网民中引发巨大关注。许多留学生担心美国可能会发生排华现象，美国学校有可能变得不倾向于招收中国学生，中国学生的签证也可能更难获得。一名上海外国语大学的本科生在MSN签名栏中写道："真倒霉，为什么是中国人，害得我们这些人好惨！" 　　到了4月17日上午，案情终于水落石出。美国警方证实，凶手是来自韩国的持美国绿卡的合法居民、弗吉尼亚理工大学英语系4年级学生赵承熙。而那名上海外国语大学学生的MSN签名也换成："不是中国人。谢天谢地，希望再也不要发生这种事。" 　　但显然，中国政府并没有准备给关于凶手身份的报道问题画一个句号。中国外交部发言人刘建超4月18日在记者招待会上说，美国弗吉尼亚理工大学发生的枪击惨案是一个十分严重的事件。美国个别媒体在事实未经查明之前发表不负责任的报道，违反了新闻职业道德，是十分错误的做法。中国已经要求有关方面消除其恶劣影响。 　　"美个别媒体"明显指向《芝加哥太阳时报》。目前尚不知中国方面会提出何种要求，但在4月19日，《芝加哥太阳时报》的网站已经把斯尼德的文章删除，她的有关中国留学生可能是弗吉尼亚理工大学枪击案凶手的文章，在互联网上找到的只有其他网站的转载。 　　在美留学生要求道歉 　　不仅如此，谣传凶手是中国人的《芝加哥太阳时报》连日来受到在美中国留学生和华人华侨的愤怒声讨。中国留学生论坛MITBBS上抨击《芝加哥太阳时报》的留言不计其数。 中国留学生普遍认为，斯尼德在警方和校方都表示暂不公布疑犯名单的情况下，仅根据枪手可能是亚裔人即把嫌疑焦点指向中国留学生，有违记者的职业道德，并有歧视中国人的倾向。 也有留学生指出，斯尼德对中国和中国留学生十分无知：中国留学生赴美前都要在美国使领馆留指纹，如果枪手是中国留学生，警方应该很快可以确认。 　　据悉，斯尼德的文章见报后，中国留学生曾在第一时间通过发电子邮件、打电话、留言等形式向《芝加哥太阳时报》和斯尼德抗议。耶鲁大学计算机系的博士马征说，即便在凶手被确认是韩国学生后，斯尼德在追踪报道时仍毫无理由地提及中国人。 　　网名为whatlove的中国留学生的抗议信写道："你们报社可以因为诽谤而被起诉。你们的报道诽谤了所有中国人，特别是在美国的中国人。你们刊登了斯尼德不负责任的报道，你们报纸必须向全体中国人道歉!" 　4月16日（美国时间），一名中国留学生建议联系在美中国律师团体起诉该报，得到广泛支持，两天时间跟帖近500条，许多留学生表示愿意捐款集资，还有人建议大家立即着手搜集相关报道，以便作为证据。 而被斯尼德误指的中国学生江伟恩随后也出面证明自己的清白。江伟恩在接受美国广播公司的采访时说："不错，我是亚裔，我在学校宿舍里住，我是弗吉尼亚理工大学的学生，我最近和女友分了手，我还喜欢枪械。但我不是凶手。" 　　美国广播公司此后通过不同的政府消息来源证实，江伟恩并没有被列入怀疑名单，警方也根本没有去调查他。消息得到证实后，在美中国留学生对《芝加哥太阳时报》的做法再次提出质疑。 　　不过，中国驻芝加哥总领馆及中国学生学者联谊会17日在致当地华人学生的邮件中说，虽然现已证实凶手是韩国人而非中国人，总领馆和联谊会依然提醒华人学生对自身安全要持谨慎态度。 　大陆报道中的信息缺失 　中国媒体在报道上的失误可以归咎于消息源，但大量网络媒体援引《芝加哥太阳时报》的错误报道也是不争的事实。事实上，在《芝加哥太阳时报》的报道中，并没透露明确的信息来源，仅是怀疑凶手是从上海过去的中国留学生。而其他美国主流媒体在报道时均以"亚裔"来报道，并没有涉及凶手的具体身份。 　　即便这样，国内的一些大型门户网站仍然不加分辨地引用《芝加哥太阳时报》的报道，某些网站为追求点击率、吸引公众视线，甚至以确凿的口吻告诉国人："凶手就是中国人"。也正是在这种逻辑的推动下，江伟恩才得以"浮出水面"。据说，仅4月17日上午短短几个小时，江伟恩的博客被点击了数万次。 　　事件中，国人的态度也颇令人玩味。网友"姚小远"在"天涯杂谈"的留帖中写道："我既早有预料却又特别惊讶的，是中国网民们对以讹传讹推测枪案凶手为中国人时候的反应��在最初枪手被臆断为中国人的时候，我看到太多的高亢、兴奋、歇斯底里的癫狂，当然，也有一些自省、歉意和对于丢面子的郁闷，但是更多的，是那种邪恶和邪性的狂热。我竟然看到十分有才的异想天开，认为是美国人自己做的然后嫁祸于中国人。" 　　在疑犯确认为韩国人后，有网友在其博客中写道：幸好不是国人所为，我们中国人总算可以松口气了，要是把恶习带出了国，多丢古老中华的脸面！不过，本人现在又神气了，而且高度不愤，倒要质疑美国媒体了，甚至要美国总统出来说个清楚，怎么一看到黄面孔就先怀疑是中国人，而不是日本人、韩国人呢！？ 　　网友"蛙人"发帖说：一个民族的强大, 最直接的标准之一就是看看这个民族有没有太多的自卑感��一群人在担忧害怕万一杀人犯是华人怎么办，会不会签证绿卡学习工作受歧视��至于这么在乎美国人怎么看中国人吗? 稍有主见的人都不会把一个精神变态的杀人犯罪行扣在一个民族的头上。 　　更有甚者，网络上最初有人在评价这一事件时称，这是"中国教育的失败"、"道德沦落"等等。 　　而媒体态度的转变也让人大跌眼镜。事件发生后，某著名电视台各种连线、热点甚至是直播室都搞得风风火火，但到美国警方确认枪手不是中国人而是韩国人后，该电视台只是在新闻中插播了一条新闻。有网友提出，针对这场报道闹剧，应该有媒体勇于出来承担责任，向公众说声道歉。 　　不过，在疑犯的韩国裔身份被确定后，恐慌与担忧似乎瞬间从中国人身上转移到韩国人身上。以近乎处理民族灾难的方式做出反应，使人们再次感知韩国民众对民族形象的敏感。 　　韩国驻美大使李泰植17日提议以韩国人教会为中心，轮流绝食32天，以此分担遇难家属和美国社会的悲痛。并强调："以此次事故为契机，韩人社会应该进行自我反省和忏悔，并创造重新融入美国主流社会的机会。" -- Original Source:《凤凰周刊》,中国香港 <a href="http://uhome.beaplat.com/show.php?articleid=3234">http://uhome.beaplat.com/show.php?articleid=3234<a/> Language A language of the resource zh-Hans Title A name given to the resource 美国校园枪击案背后的中国民众 媒体误报 中国民众 信�缺失 凤凰周刊 Document A resource containing textual data.

They trouble us; however, many of them seem so distant that they do not affect us deeply, although they should. The tragedy experienced yesterday on the Virginia Tech campus is one that is affecting all of us more deeply because it took place in a community we understand and cherish. Violence of young people against young people is tragic--impossible to truly comprehend, but especially shocking in a university environment. The university years provide a unique period in the lives of young people, a period when they can learn, experience, and interact with others in freedom and safety. Our thoughts today should be with the Virginia Tech community, and especially with the families of the victims. We grieve for them. As we learn to adjust to this event, our commitment and energy should remain focused on assuring that universities like Virginia Tech and Caltech remain safe, free environments where young people can prepare themselves for life. -- Original Source: <a href="http://tech.caltech.edu/TECH/04_19_2007/article14.html"> The California Daily - April 19, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The California Daily Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Permissions: Marissa Cevallos <tech@caltech.edu> editor-in-chief, The California Daily Title A name given to the resource Caltech grieves for VA Tech student victims caltech campus response letter from president Document A resource containing textual data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sara Hood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yang Yang Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-06-14 Description An account of the resource By Yang Yang Thursday, April 19, 2007 Some found out when they checked the morning news, only to be greeted with horror; others learned about it when concerned parents began calling. The rest discovered the gruesome news when fellow students began discussing it. By lunchtime Monday, every student at Caltech was well aware of the two shootings which left 33 dead that occurred earlier that day at Virginia Tech. "I first found out about this when my friend began talking about it at lunch," junior Henna Kermani said. "At first I couldn&#39;t believe it." For Ricketts RA Amy Eastwood, a Virginia native, the shootings struck a little closer to home. "My initial reaction was shock. I kept checking back [and] the number of casualties kept increasing and increasing. It was so sad, an RA was killed. He was a triple major, member of the band, 4.0 kind of guy. Why?" she asked. Inevitably, some began to wonder about whether such a massacre could happen at Caltech. "Obviously, I imagined whether or not it could happen here," sophomore Cliff Chang said. "It&#39;s the same as the reaction to Columbine, [you wonder] if any of the other students you don&#39;t really talk to is thinking about [shooting everyone]." To address potential concern, a campus-wide gathering was held on Tuesday. There, chief of security Gregg Henderson and director of counseling Kevin Austin addressed the handful of people who showed. Security looks to expand immediate notification list According to Henderson, Caltech is one of the safest schools in the U.S. The campus has rarely seen violence, much less deadly shootings. The last fatal incident on campus occurred in April 1994; no students were involved or harmed in the event. The Institute has emergency response plans for shooter situations, but Henderson could not disclose any details. Coincidentally, Caltech emergency dispatchers underwent training two weeks ago for emergency conditions such as a shooter on campus. "We just went through training with our dispatchers on those exact things, gathering information, making sure proper notifications [are made] to agencies outside of Caltech that we may need to bring in," Henderson said. New mass notification system being put in place A major concern raised by the Virginia Tech shootings is timely notification of crimes in hopes of preventing more harm. The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, better known as the Clery Act, mandates that universities "shall make timely reports to the campus community on crimes considered to be a threat to other students and employees ... that are reported to campus security or local law police agencies. Such reports shall be provided to students and employees in a manner that is timely and that will aid in the prevention of similar occurrences." In the case of Virginia Tech, mass emails were sent to students two hours after the first shooting, some argue that time gap was too long. Caltech recently began subscribing to a mass notification system called ConnectEd, which is capable of sending alerts through email, phone and text message. However, currently the system only sends notifications to members of the crisis management committee, a "representation from across the campus, from student affairs to faculty, to counseling," according to Henderson. Members include Dean John Hall, Assistant VP of student affairs Erica O&#39;Neal, and Assistant VP of Campus Life Tom Mannion. There has been talk of adding the rest of Caltech to the ConnectEd system. "We anticipate beginning to populate ConnectEd with the entire campus, students, faculty, and staff in the near future," Henderson said. "[To do so] we will need community members to submit the various methods that ConnectEd uses for communication, including e-mail, home and campus phones, cell phones, and text to us. More information about the system will be provided as we move forward with the project." The best course of action when one suspects a shooter is to inform security, not trying to intervene, according to Henderson. "We are a very secure campus, I can provide security," he said. "I can put people out there to patrol the grounds... [but] people need to communicate with us, if you have something that feels suspicious, [if] your initial reaction is [that] something&#39;s not right, call us immediately, let us come in and figure out what&#39;s going on." Counseling center emphasizes help, not fear for mentally ill Austin emphasized prevention at the campus gathering on Tuesday. By identifying troubled individuals and getting them counseling and professional help, he said, violent incidents with trouble individuals can be prevented. Changes in one&#39;s behavior may highlight deeper issues. "It&#39;s easiest [to notice change] when you already have a relationship with a person, because you have a baseline of what&#39;s normal for them," Austin said. "Perhaps the person stopped going to class, stopped going to dinner, they seem much more pessimistic, quieter, less responsive [and] less interested than what they used to be." The counseling center regularly handles students, 20% of the undergraduate population has been seen by the center, according to Austin. Most go to just talk about their issues, but three to 10 students a year are hospitalized for their own safety. People with mental illnesses are not predisposed to violence and should not be treated like threats, Austin strongly stressed. These individuals need care, not fear. "If you look at the Virginia Tech shooter, he was a loner and had a mental illness," Austin said. "Those two things alone don&#39;t predispose people to violence... [Things which may cause violent tendencies] are extreme trauma: witnessing something horrific, being an object of abuse or [the person is] subjected to violence themselves." To reach out to someone who may be having trouble, Austin recommended opening a friendly conversation. Rather than trying to evaluate the person&#39;s mindset, just describe the changes the person is undergoing and express concern about the shift in behavior. Although one might think it&#39;s meddling to do so, the conversation may help immensely. "The strength of this place is that students look out for one another, they should continue to do so," he said. "But sometimes there is reluctance to draw attention to someone needing help, encourage them to take the next step." -- Original Source: <a href="http://tech.caltech.edu/TECH/04_19_2007/article1.html">The California Tech - April 19, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Permissions: Marissa Cevallos <tech@caltech.edu> editor-in-chief, The California Daily Title A name given to the resource Caltech mourns VT tragedy caltech campus response crisis management
