增胖值得 景美女將 「拔」得世界冠軍

林佩怡／台北報導 中國時報 2010.02.28

　為了比賽增重，景美女中拔河隊放棄女人最在乎的體態，故事傳遍全台，國人為之感動，更令人驕傲的是，這群娘子軍更贏得全世界的掌聲。廿七日在義大利世界盃拔河錦標賽，不僅打敗勁旅大陸隊，更抱回世界盃冠軍。拔河隊廿三日開拔義大利，廿七日第一輪分別遭遇中國、日本及瑞士，以二比○的氣勢連過三關，順利晉級第二輪。

　延續首輪全勝的氣勢，第二輪四強賽，景美女中先以二比○擊敗歐洲強隊瑞士隊，晉級冠亞軍賽。景美女中雖遇上首輪的手下敗將大陸隊，但實力不容小覷的大陸隊，第一場讓景美女中隊員吃盡苦頭，拉鋸許久後不幸落敗，第二場隊員們絕地大反攻，結果連贏兩場，最終兩勝一敗擊敗中國隊，勇奪冠軍。

　打敗大陸隊 教練隊員相擁喜泣

　台灣時間晚間十時哨聲響起，景美女中拔河隊完成挑戰全世界夢想，取得夢寐以求的冠軍獎座，隊職員們又叫又跳，還跟教練擊掌，而犧牲了女人最重視的儀態，靠著努力完夢想，教練及隊員們相擁而泣，直呼「終於贏了！」

　「我們終於做到了。」拔河隊隊長郭雅婷興奮說，這一趟比賽很值得，終於不負眾望，拿到冠軍，幫學校與國家增光，緊接著三月七日將前往韓國，參加亞洲盃五百公斤量級的比賽。台北市長郝龍斌與教育局長康宗虎也在第一時間致電恭喜。

　三月赴韓再戰 得先減重40公斤

　賽前女學生展現過人意志力，大夥兒一起進行「增重大作戰」，硬是變胖六十公斤，終於取得「義大利世界盃拔河錦標賽」五四○公斤的比賽資格，其中李汶霖變胖最多，一口氣增加廿公斤，變成九十三公斤的「大壯妞」。

　完成增重計畫並順利取得冠軍的隊員們，接下來又有艱困任務，就是「減肥」四十公斤，從五四○公斤降至五百公斤，以順利遠赴韓國，再次拿冠軍、光榮返抵國門。

張栩奪棋聖 摘日本棋壇大滿貫
2010-02-27 中國時報 【黃菁菁／東京廿六日電】

　台灣之光▲旅日圍棋好手張栩曾表示，若時間允許及日本棋院同意，他有意願代表台灣出征2010年廣州亞運圍棋項目，為國爭光。（本報資料照片/陳怡誠攝）

　旅日棋士張栩廿六日在第卅四屆棋聖戰七番勝負的第五盤棋中，打敗山下敬吾棋聖，首度拿下日本圍棋界最高榮譽的棋聖頭銜，贏得四千五百萬日圓（約台幣一千六百一十七萬元）的獎金，同時也讓他如願地達成奪取當今日本圍棋界所有七大頭銜的目標。

　第卅四屆棋聖戰第五盤比賽廿五、廿六日兩天在靜岡縣伊豆市舉行，持白子的張栩在下午四時十九分，在第二百四十七手時以一目半獲勝，在這次七番勝負的棋賽中，以四勝一敗奪下棋聖頭銜，這是張栩圍棋生涯中的第卅一個頭銜。

　山下敬吾已四度蟬聯棋聖頭銜，今年若達成五連霸則可獲頒名譽棋聖頭銜，張栩成功地阻止了山下五連霸的美夢。

　囊括七大頭銜 登錄全日第二人

　日本現今圍棋界共有棋聖、名人、本因坊、十段、天元、王座、碁聖等七大頭銜，過去只有第廿五代本因坊趙治勳曾拿過七大頭銜，張栩則是日本棋壇創此紀錄的第二人，目前擁有棋聖、十段、王座和碁聖四大頭銜。

　張栩廿六日在下榻的「玉樟園新井」溫泉旅館接受中時特派員電話採訪時表示：「四勝一敗的結果看起來很順利，其實真是贏來不易，因為對手很強，每一盤棋都很難下，今天下到中途時還是很沒把握。」

　被問到今後的目標時，張栩笑著說：「此刻我什麼都不想去想，只想先喘一口氣，除了棋聖頭銜之外，七大頭銜也都拿到了，今年很多紀錄都重複在一起，還沒去想下一個目標。不過，接下來馬上又有其他的頭銜賽，我會繼續努力，盡全力下好每一盤棋。」

有看過185公分長的菜瓜, 4斤重的檸檬

中國時報今天有則報導,台灣南投有個地方種出來的東西特別大...
185公分絲瓜 農友拚金氏紀錄2010-02-27 中國時報 沈揮勝／南投報導

　「驚死郎…六尺多長的菜瓜！」南投信義鄉農民彭進岳，五年前種出幾條長七十公分的絲瓜，篩種繁衍幾代後，現在最大一條絲瓜長達一八五公分。去年他靈機一動，想拿它拚金氏世界紀錄，由於絲瓜項目之前無人登錄，挑戰成功的機會很大。

　前台中區農改場蔬菜研究室團隊負責人郭孚耀指出，絲瓜品系多而複雜，其中蛇瓜可達一公尺餘，大陸也有類似的產品。

　郭孚耀說，彭姓農友種出的絲瓜長度和品系為何，必須經過鑑定才能確認。

　不過不管是否與蛇瓜有血緣關係，或曾有人種出更長、更巨大的絲瓜，都不會影響他的登錄和認證，主要原因是之前沒有人申請該項紀錄。

　繁衍長絲瓜 五年來成長驚人

　五十三歲的彭進岳是在九十三年發現種在郡坑溪「三十甲」地區的絲瓜，有幾條特別長，懷著好奇心把最長的兩條留下來當種源，結果二代瓜長度突破一公尺，三代瓜超過一米五，去年有幾條超過成年男人身高，留當母種者為一八五公分。

　他認為這些超級絲瓜是從「普通菜瓜」篩種培育而來，與改良種的蛇瓜無關。去年委託妹妹彭瑞燾搜尋金氏世界紀錄官網，發現絲瓜並未被登錄，透過精於外語的友人協助提案申請獲准，播種後必須逐周測量、拍照，最快七月有機會被承認為世界紀錄。

　信義明德村 巨大作物不稀奇

　對信義鄉明德村居民而言，超級絲瓜的出現，只算是「巨怪作物」再添一筆。最近幾年，....

Taiwanese Airforce and Cortez Miracle - U-2 Missions

When I was at 10-15 years old, some of my friends' fathers served in Taiwanese airforce base in Hsin-Chu, which is about about 30 miles south of another airforce base at TaoYuan. I was told by my little friends that there were reconnaissance flights to China and some were shut down and those pilots never came back. One of my best friends father was one of them. I was about 10 years old, and he was only one year older. He never said a word about his father, nor about the mission stories. I never had courage to ask him about those things either. It seemed no one knew those were actual U-2 flight missions.

I was also told by others that the mission team was called "Western Company". But, I always had doubts about the truthfullness of those stories because I didn't think Taiwan had such kind of airplane to carry out those long distance flights. I never heard any other things related to those missions until today, when I saw this news:

After digging it with Google, I found some very interesting historical records, which also highlights Taiwnese' air force's sacrifices and contributions during the cold war era. This slide presentation told so many heart breaking as well as heroic stories about those events.

You can see how difficult it was to land U-2 from the short video I found on Youtube:

The Last Days of Lehman Brothers

Copied from: http://jsmineset.com/ Feb 05 2010 By: Jim Sinclair

The BBC made a special titled "The Last Days of Lehman Brothers," which is a must see.

Having seen this, ask yourself, what has changed? All of this disaster has been brought on by selling nothing for something and profiting in an infinite way.

That nothing for something is called OTC derivatives. The mountain of OTC derivatives, although the valuation method has been altered, is not only still there but has grown.

What has changed? Only an accounting rule by the FASB so that fair market valuations are no longer required. The liabilities of all these financial entities still far outweigh their assets. All that has changed is the ability to lie about it. If you can see the truth here, then you can see really nothing has changed.

A failure of an economic recovery and we are going directly back to the Last Days of Lehman with one exception. The next documentary will the last day of the majority of States of the USA.

Trichet will bail out those euro members so requiring it. The USA will bail out all failing States. The bigger argument today benefiting the US dollar will then bury it.

Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. The economic recovery is not. That which is not, cannot be sustainable.

Wake up, please. It is all smoke and mirrors. The West is screwed.

The dollar as a reserve currency is dying. The Chinese economy will be the world’s leading economy.
