“冰桶挑战”在中国的泛娱乐化，使我想起了多年前在老家看到的一幕。有一个送葬队伍在行进当中，丧属因失去亲人而痛哭。就在这时有一个瓜女子看见此情此景，也跟着嚎啕大哭起来。有人问她：“你哭啥呢？”她说：“他们在哭，我也就跟着哭了”。这就是老家人常说的一个俗语：瓜女子送埋，你哭我也哭。英语里herd
herd mentality (从众心理)这个词正好可以用来形容这种盲目跟风的行为。继续冲浪，探寻冰桶挑战。
Ice Bucket Challenge
From Wikipedia, the

冰桶挑战（ice bucket challenge）风靡全球。本来是为了引起人们对“渐冻人症”（肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症）Amyotrophic lateral
(ALS)患者的关注，为他们筹集善款的一项活动。但在中国愈来愈呈娱乐化，在干旱缺水的中原大地现在也掀起了冰桶挑战，甚至有些商家借“冰桶挑战”之名，搞起了促销。不管咋说，“冰桶挑战”引起了我的好奇，冲浪一帆，一探究竟。

失联一词最近成了高频词。先有某某腐败分子“失联”，派生出了“失联者”。这两天又有揪着亿万国人的马来西亚航班失联。面对人类的共同灾难，多国间的救援行动，超越了国界和争端，表现出了人类拥有的底线--生命高于一切。然而相比之下，一些媒体的从业人员，为了商业利益，为了博得眼球，对“失联”客人的家属的各种“追访”，无异于伤口撒盐，揭人伤疤。拯救媒体人的良知，势在必行。
陕西相声带火宝鸡方言 “nia nia”成时尚语
西安晚报 [微博] 徐雯 10:16我要分享 24
本报宝鸡讯（记者 徐雯） 《满腹经纶》和《学富五车》让全国观众记住了青年相声演员苗阜和王声，其中一句“nia
nia，风浪太大 lia”用上了宝鸡方言，包袱一抖出来让人捧腹不已。
“nia”的本字是“娘”
表示听不懂的观众纷纷求解“nia”是哪个字、什么意思，网络上给出了不同的解读，以各地方话和英语来解释的版本也非常给力，记者专门拜访了语言学专家和方言歌手，学音习字。
宝鸡文理学院文传院语言教研室主任王应龙副教授说，自己之前没看过苗阜和王声表演的相声，一看才知道nia
nia是怎么火起来的，“nia
nia在宝鸡人日常生活中常用，是个感叹词，张相在《诗词曲语词汇释》里对nia的注解是，表示感叹或惊叹，“nia
nia”重叠加强了感叹语气，和英文'oh，my god'、普通话‘哇塞’一个意思。”王教授说，关于它的由来，“nia”
在北京话里就是娘这个字，音niang，在语音变化的过程中，韵尾ng脱落了，nia的读音被保留在了宝鸡话里，“nia

Word-Search Wonder
Description
The Pyrates Restaurant was starting to fill up as Valentine McKee walked in. She scanned the crowd for her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. Seeing her sister waving from the far end of the restaurant, she made her way back to their booth. Hi, Valentine,'' her sister and brother-in-law, Niki and Dennis Chapman, greeted her. Hi, guys,'' she replied. ``What are you doing, Wade?'' she asked her nephew. He was busy working on one of the restaurant's activity sheets with a crayon.
I'm doing a word search game,'' Wade explained.I have to find all of these words in this big mess of letters. This is really hard.'' Wade looked intently at the paper in front of him.
``Can I help?'' asked Valentine, looking across the table at the activity sheet.
``Sure. These are the words we're looking for. They're the names of different kinds of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.''
The first line of input will specify the length (in characters) of the sides of the letter matrix (the matrix of letters will be square). The length, l, will be in the range 1 &= l &= 100. The next l lines of input will be the matrix itself, each line will contain l uppercase letters.
A list of words will follow. Each word will be there will be 100 or fewer words. Each word will be 100 or fewer characters long, and will only contain uppercase letters.
The final line of input will contain a single zero character.
Your program should attempt to find each word from the word list in the puzzle. A word is found'' if all the characters in the word can be traced in a single (unidirectional) horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line in the letter matrix. Words may notwrap around'' rows or columns, but horizontal and diagonal words may proceed from right to left (``backwards''). For each word that is found, your program should print the coordinates of its first and last letters in the matrix on a single line, separated by a single space. Coordinates are pairs of comma-separated integers (indexed from 1), where the first integer specifies the row number and the second integer specifies the column number.
If a word is not found, the string ``Not found'' should be output instead of a pair of coordinates.
Each word from the input can be ``found'' at most once in the puzzle.
