BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -China"s economic planning agency Thursday announced a rise in
minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain.
A statement on the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) website said the
government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major rice-growing regions in
2011.
The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, China"s
Cabinet, said the statement.
The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4 U.S. dollars) per
50 kilograms, while prices for early and middle-late rice will increase 9.7 percent and 10.3 percent to
102 yuan and 107 yuan per 50 kg respectively.
Rice and wheat are two major grain crops in China.

ROME: The legend of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery: How did he die? Are the remains
buried in a French castle really those of the master? Was the "Mona Lisa" a self-portrait in disguise (伪装)?
A group of Italian scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say
they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing.
If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and
the public for centuries: the identity of the "Mona Lisa." Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardo"s face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting.
"We don"t know what we"ll find if the tomb is opened. We could even just find grains and dust," says
Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project. "But if the remains are well kept,
they are a biological record of events in a person"s life, and sometimes in their death." Silvano Vinceti, the
leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said
burial site at Amboise Castle early next week.
Leonardo moved to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him "first painter to the
king." He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67. The artist"s original burial
place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains
that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle.
"The Amboise tomb is a symbolic tomb; it"s a big question mark," said Alessandro Vezzosi, the
director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci. Vezzosi said that investigating the
tomb could help identify the artist"s bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of
his death. He said he asked to open the tomb in 2004 to study the remains, but the Amboise Castle
turned him down.
The group of 100 experts involved in the project, called the National Committee for Historical and
Artistic Heritage, was created in 2003 with the aim of "solving the great mysteries of the past," said
Vinceti, who has written books on art and literature.
Arguably the world"s most famous painting, the "Mona Lisa" hangs in the Louvre in Paris, where it
drew some 8.5 million visitors last year. Mystery has surrounded the identity of the painting"s subject for
centuries, with opinions ranging from the wife of a Florentine merchant to Leonardo"s own mother.
That Leonardo intended the "Mona Lisa" as a self-portrait in disguise is a possibility that has
interested and divided scholars. Theories have existed: Some think that Leonardo"s taste for tricks and
riddles might have led him to hide his own identity behind that puzzling smile; others have guessed that
the painting hid an androgynous lover.
If granted access to the grave site, the Italian experts plan to use a tiny camera and radar to confirm
the presence of bones. The scientists would then exhume (挖掘) the remains and attempt to date the
bones with carbon testing.
At the heart of the proposed study is the effort to discover whether the remains are actually
Leonardo"s, including with DNA testing.
Vezzosi questions the DNA comparison, saying he is unaware of any direct descendants (后代) of
Leonardo or of tombs that could be attributed with certainty to the artist"s close relatives.
Gruppioni said that DNA from the bones could also eventually be compared to DNA found
elsewhere. For example, Leonardo is thought to have rubbed colors on the canvas with his thumb,
possibly using saliva (唾液), meaning DNA might be found on his paintings.
Even in the absence of DNA testing, other tests could provide useful information, including whether
the bones belonged to a man or a woman, and whether the person died young or old.
Even within the committee, experts are divided over the identity of the "Mona Lisa."
Vinceti believes that a tradition of considering the self-portrait to be not just a faithful imitation of one"s
features but a representation of one"s spiritual identity may have resonated (共鸣) with Leonardo.
Vezzosi, the museum director, dismissed as "baseless and senseless" the idea that the "Mona Lisa"
could be a self-portrait of Leonardo. He said most researchers believe the woman may have been either
a wife of the artist"s sponsor, the Florentine nobleman Giuliano de Medici, or Lisa Gherardini, the wife of
a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo. The traditional view is that the name "Mona Lisa" comes
from the silk merchant"s wife, as well as its Italian name: "La Gioconda." |

Brave Frenchman Found Halfway Around the World
(NEW YORK)A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a twoyearold girl in Manhattan said he
didn"t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday"s Daily News said 29yearold Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly
after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum.
He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
"I didn"t think at all,"Duret told the Daily News. "It happened very fast. I reacted very fast."
Duret,an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头)when he saw
something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached
the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water,
she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance
came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his
girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn"t realize his tale of
heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.
"I don"t really think I"m a hero," said Duret."Anyone would do the same thing." |

He wasn"t sick. He wasn"t old. And he wasn"t losing. He had a very good final season and won his
last game in 2008. And then he walked away.
Lloyd Carr was 62. That"s a few years earlier than retirement (退休) age in America and many years
earlier than some college football coaches say goodbye. How was Carr, who coached University of
Michigan, able to leave so easily?
" It can be intoxicating," Carr admits. "The Saturday afternoons and the crowds. And when you win,
there"s nothing like it."
But the job needs hard work. The pressure to win. The endless training. The hours are so long that
sleeping at the office is a normal thing. I reported Carr"s career at Michigan from 1995 to 2007. I saw
him run onto the field before 100,000 cheering fans, saw him enjoy a share of a national championship
with a 12-0 season.
And when I visited him recently in retirement, the difference was noticeable. He seems much calmer,
relaxed, more at peace. He says, "As much fun as it is, there"s a period when you have other things to
deal with."
Carr knew he wanted to travel, see the world, read more, do other work. He is now connected with
a children"s hospital, does some speaking, plays golf, and enjoys relaxing with his wife, Laurie, and their
many grandchildren.
Several of today"s big-name coaches are all about Carr"s retirement age. Nick Saban turns 59 this
month. Jim Tressel is 57. Frank Beamer is already 63. None of them seems to be slowing down.
So when, I ask Carr, is the right moment to leave such a great job?
He thinks. Finally, he says, "When you love it and can still walk away from it. That"s the right moment." |

Haikou: A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South
China"s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.
It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.
Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance When they were fishing in
sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach.
Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species
belonging to State protection.
Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark
and therefore not under State protection.
The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused
last week by Typhoon Imbudo. It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from
internal (内部的) bleeding.
Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the
fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at
the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.
However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists" safety on the beach. |

HANGZHOU, China - Millions of Chinese basketball fans who were upset about the retirement of
Yao Ming, are excited to see another even more shining star, Jeremy Lin, rising from the N.B.A and
becoming a household name all across China.
"We are amazed by Lin Shuhao"s magic performance and should cheer him on," one Internet user
wrote.
"His sport shirts have sold out, even including the counterfeit(仿制品) ones," said Zheng Xiaojun, a
24-year-old clerk.
Lin"s amazing success over the last month has caught the imagination of the Chinese. He has been
particularly popular here in northern Zhejiang province, from which his grandmother went to Taiwan in
the late 1940s.
Cai Qi, a well-known micro blogger, posted a message on micro blog over the weekend stating that
Lin"s hometown is Jiaxing, a city near Hangzhou where Lin"s grandmother grew up.
Cai Qi"s nephew Yu Guohua, a 56-year-old factory worker, is Lin"s closest relative still living in
northern Zhejiang. He said in a telephone interview that Lin had come to play basketball with the Jiaxing
High School team last May and had been surrounded by admirers.
Yu said he did not have a chance to meet Lin in the crowd, but managed to speak with his family.
"His father was very supportive of Lin"s playing basketball, but his grandmother was not, for fear he
would be injured," Yu said.
Lin may owe his height, 6 feet 3 inches, to his grandmother"s family, Yu said. Chen Weiji, the father
of Lin"s grandmother, was well over 6 feet and all of Chen"s children were tall as well, he said.
The N.B.A. believes that 300 million people in China play basketball. The retirement last year of
Yao Ming took its main Asian draw away from the N.B.A. But Lin"s appearance has helped the league
remain a hot topic of Chinese online chatter. |
