王建民在 31 日投出大聯盟生涯代表作，主投 7 局，只被擊出 1 安打無失分，5 次三振。洋基最後以 5 比 0 力退紅襪，建仔奪下第 16 勝，躍居美聯勝投王寶座。
目前美聯拿下 16 勝並居勝投王的投手還有紅襪的 Josh Beckett (貝基特 ) 與 Tim Wakefield(魏克菲爾 )，以及洛杉磯天使的 John Lackey (蘭奇)。同時洋基在這次系列戰橫掃紅襪，雙方勝差拉近到 5 場。
預計王建民下場先發的時間，是在下週三 (9月5日) 早上7點，建仔將於紐約主場迎戰 鈴木一朗領軍的西雅圖水手。這個系列戰等於是美聯外卡殊死戰，洋基能否搶下季後賽，與水手的三連戰相當關鍵。
台灣之光王建民在美國發光發熱，他除了花許多時間在球場上，平常不打球的時候，他把一大部分的精力，放在關懷弱勢團體。連洋基總經理也誇讚，王建民真是個大好人。
凱許曼得意的指出，「我對王真的感到很驕傲，他在場上是個好球員，但他下了場也做了許多不為人知的的好事，他是很真心的想回饋紐約的社區，王是很好的一個人，我們很榮幸有他加入洋基的大家庭。」
凱許曼強調，王建民己經是全美知名的棒球明星，但是 2 年來，每次只要是醫院或兒童提出邀請，阿民沒有一次不參加，他並且勉勵在場的兒童，要向王建民看齊，相信自己，挑戰不可能的任務。

- 20 Questions About Vegetarianism
...Excess protein consumption can cause a variety of problems including bone mineral loss, kidney damage, and dehydration. Your body can only use so much protein, the excess is either broken down through oxidization, placing an enormous strain on the kidneys, or it is stored as body fat. Neither option is particularly desirable...

Since the vegetarian diet is the most effective solution to global warming, under Supreme Master Ching Hai's guidance, members of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association recently opened a chain of Loving Hut vegetarian restaurants around the world, in the United States, Japan, Indonesia, Au Lac and Formosa. These places provide affordable and high-quality vegetarian delicacies to the public, bringing a positive impact on the food and beverage industry...
Meat or vegetables? Independent online (SA)
A recent study has revealed that giving up meat could drastically reduce one's carbon footprint. A diet with meat is responsible for producing in a year (as many) greenhouse gases as driving a mid-sized car for 4,758 km, the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IOeW) said last week. But the food a vegetarian consumes in (the same period of time) is responsible for generating (gases only) as driving for 2,427km, the IOeW said in a study commissioned by independent consumer protection group Foodwatch...

- Galactic Highway - The Wormhole
- Stream of Time
Wormholes are a valid consequence of Einstein's general relativity view on the universe. A wormhole, in theory, acts as a shortcut or tunnel through space and time. There are several versions on the same theme (i.e. wormholes may link different universes; they may link the two separate locations in the same universe; they may even link black and white holes together), but the physics is similar, wormholes create a link two locations in space-time, bypassing normal three dimensional travel through space. Also, it is theorized, that matter can travel through some wormholes fuelling sci-fi stories like in the film Stargate or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
If wormholes do exist however, it is highly unlikely that you'll find a handy key to open the mouth of a wormhole in your back yard, they are likely to be very elusive and you'll probably need some specialist equipment to travel through them (although this will be virtually impossible).
Alexander Shatskiy, from the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow, has an idea how these wormholes may be observed. For a start, they can be distinguished from black holes, as wormhole mouths do not have an event horizon.
Secondly, if matter could possibly travel through wormholes, light certainly can, but the light emitted will have a characteristic angular intensity distribution. If we were viewing a wormhole's mouth, we would be witness to a circle, resembling a bubble, with intense light radiating from the inside "rim". Looking toward the center, we would notice the light sharply dim. At the center we would notice no light, but we would see right through the mouth of the wormhole and see stars (from our side of the universe) shining straight through.

Plato argued that time is constant - it's life that's the illusion. Galileo shrugged over the philosophy of time and figured out how to plot it on a graph so he could get on with the important physics.
Albert Einstein said that time is just another dimension, a fourth one to go along with the up-down, side-side, forward-back we move through every day. Our understanding of time, Einstein said, is based on its relationship to our environment.
Weirdly, the faster you travel, the slower time moves. (Is it truely weird? Not quite!!) The most radical interpretation of his theory: Past, present, and future are merely figments of our imagination, constructs built by our brains so that everything doesn't seem to happen at once.
