做為一個綠色購物者，最令人困惑的其中一點，就是食品工業使用的許多認證術語、標籤、標章等，包括推廣環保、社會及動物福利……等、為數不小的標籤。我們希望這些標籤有助於引導我們的選擇，但他們常常只是更增困惑。要知道「哪些術語真有涵意」和「哪些術語只是在『漂綠』」這之間的差異，需要付出代價。請往下看，學習重要的流行術語以及你必須知道的相關詞彙。

旅日左投陳偉殷今年季後賽首度出場先發，1局下被阪神鳥谷敬轟出3分彈，只投了4局就退場，吞下敗投，阪神以7:3擊敗中日，在日本職棒中央聯盟季後賽首輪搶回1勝，目前雙方各1勝。

在阪神隊的我國好手林威助6局上場代打，擊出安打。

中央聯盟季後賽首輪採取3戰2勝制，明天之戰是決勝戰，誰贏了誰就晉級中央聯盟冠軍賽，將與巨人隊爭奪聯盟冠軍。

陳偉殷開賽狀況不佳，1局下雖然三振了首棒赤星憲廣，但接著被關本賢太郎、新井貴浩及金本知憲連續3支安打攻下1分，阪神仍有兩人在壘，鳥谷敬接著轟出右外野全壘打，一棒3分，阪神開賽就取得4:0領先。

Thank you, Jay

My friend and occasional co-author Jay Levinson just passed away. He was eighty.

Jay helped invent the idea of the modern marketing book, pioneered Guerrilla Marketing (which has nothing to do with gorillas and everything to do with thinking independently and bravely ) and influenced several generations of leaders.

But most of all, I want to thank Jay for living a generous life. He never kept a secret, never hesitated to teach, to point something out, to lift someone up.

Jay was at his best when, with a mischievous smile, he'd answer a question, turning a newbie into an expert with one of his many lists or with a clever story. The point of his many, many books wasn't that there was a formula to follow, but that there was an attitude, an attitude that could help just about anyone make a difference.

日職當年為了防止明星球員以任意引退的方式湧入大聯盟，導致日職球團最後出現無法留人，血本無歸窘境，再加上當此類糾紛出現時，最後的輸家都是該職棒明星所屬的日職球團，因此愛面子的日職於1998年與大聯盟協商，並達成美日球員契約協議(United States - Japanese Player Contract Agreement)，也就是日後所謂的入札制度。

自從1998年12月此制度實施以來，至今已經有超過10名日職明星循此法前進大聯盟。2000年歐力士隊的鈴木一朗被西雅圖水手隊以1312.5萬美金的入札金帶回，風光的打響了入札制度的第一砲。而一朗在大聯盟沈穩且明星級的表現，不但讓大聯盟見識到東瀛選手的價值，更是讓大聯盟球團對日職明星開始充滿著遐想。因此，在接下來的5年內，眾多大聯盟球團透過此制度到日職尋找即戰力。而在參與競標的大聯盟球隊中，出現的名字多半是以洋基、紅襪、大都會等為首的豪門球隊。也由於競爭球隊都處於不缺銀彈的情況，所以入札金的價碼水漲船高，此現象到了2006年則是燃燒到最高峰。

就在2006年的冬天，波士頓紅襪為了網羅當年經典賽MVP的日籍投手松坂大輔，以超出行情的5100萬美元價碼，取得與松坂的母球隊西武隊的協商權。而紅襪所付出的價錢，乃是當年水手隊所付給歐力士隊超出近4倍的金額。最後，紅襪更是以頂級6年5200萬美元，外加200萬美元簽約金的合約，迎來這位當年素稱握有魔球的平成怪物。另一方面，紅襪的死對頭洋基，也不遑多讓的以入札金2600萬美元與5年2000萬美元的價碼，簽回當年日職中央聯盟的三振王井川慶。

The behemoth and the Acumen Fellows

Today, applications are open for the fabled and important Acumen Fellows program. Every year, thousands of people from around the world apply to spend a few months of intensive training with Acumen in New York, followed by nine months in the field with an Acumen investment. This is rigorous and life-changing work, and it's not for everyone (but if you know someone who can leap like this, please pass it on to them).

For the rest of us, there's the chance to support the work, at least financially.

You may remember the limited-edition behemoth that I published last year. It's more than 700 pages and weighs more than 15 pounds. It sold out quite quickly, but I've kept some in reserve for the appropriate fundraising opportunity. Here it is. $145 a copy.

I'm donating 125 books to this fundraiser, plus the shipping and handling expense. Use this Paypal form to order your copy. I'll give all of the money, plus another $50 a book, to Acumen in support of this year's fellow program.
