Ich finde dieses Info auf  Internet für Aufgabe von meinem Englisch Leher.

(就写一句德语，我都觉得大概是错的。难啊~ 其实要说的就是：I found this info on Internet for my English teacher's task.)

THE ENRON SCANDAL

Enron was a massive experiment in e-commerce-a commodity-trading firm that used the Internet to connect distant buyers and sellers of everything from electricity and natural gas, steel and newsprint to pollution credits and financial derivatives hedging against interest rates or the weather.

But while Enron promised to scrutinize the soundness of buyers and sellers, nobody was scrutinizing the trader king. The middleman is unregulated in this brave new world. When Enron management made a series of outrageous and self-interested off-the-books deals to raise capital, its auditor, Arthur Andersen, gave approval. The credit-rating agencies remained mute. Enron's bankers were busy touting the stock as on its way to the moon. Enron and chairman Kenneth Lay, meanwhile, pumped nearly $2 million into the election of George W. Bush, who returned the favor by letting Enron pick federal regulatory appointments. Lay and his agents were all over Vice President Cheney's secretive energy task force, and White House economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey received $50,000 last year as an Enron "adviser."

Nearly every party to this debacle--Enron itself, its auditor, the bankers and brokerages--is guilty of profound conflicts of interest. They do not tell the truth to retail customers like small-scale investors for fear of offending their big investment clients. Enron, it seems, didn't tell the truth to its bankers either, and they didn't ask.

安然说自己从97年到01年利润是5.86亿美圆，其实这完全是吹的，实际是到01年10月16日，安然才说自己亏损总计6.18亿美圆。

接着，这件丑闻属于顺藤摸瓜牵扯出了帮他们做审计的安达信。安达信绝对是为了丧失自己的独立性付出了巨大代价，甚至还参与到安然的管理层。

还有牵扯到了一堆著名的银行，包括花旗、JP摩根、美林等等，他们可说安然没有说，所以自己不知道实际情况，但是他们没有问。其实不非是故意不问，为了不就是自欺欺人吗？花旗更是为自己的隐瞒安然债务而要一赔到底。OK，写到这里，美国同胞应该高兴一点，至少有个花旗赔钱，而中国人买了个银广厦只好眼睁睁看着15个跌停板，立案也没有用。

安然事件甚至还牵扯到了切尼，因为那些advisor的费用在我看来无非是行贿。他们在当年那场布什与戈尔的世纪选举中给布什提供的帮助，又给了白宫压力。

Kodak Announces Agreement With Flextronics for Design, Production and Distribution of its Consumer Digital

再贴一个柯达和伟创力，因为最近关心kodak的数码相机业务，所以才顺便知道了。Kodak has announced that it will shift the manufacturing of its digital cameras over to Singapore-based Flextronics International. Although Kodak will continue to "develop the high-level system design, product look and feel, and user experience" of the cameras, Flextronics will acquire most of the company's Digital Product Center in Japan, and will be responsible for the assembly, production, and testing of the entire lineup. As part of the deal -- which Kodak hopes will help bring products to market more quickly as well as control costs -- about 550 of its employees will be transplanted to Flextronics facilities in China.

i rarely sign into Myspace. One day i got a message from a strange whose ID is Ninth.

 

Ninth is a Norwegian rock band. i remember i mentioned many times i am only a classical music lover. But i decided to see one of their shows of their China Tour in March.

 

i recognized they are actucally very clever. i am sure they used the search engine of Myspace to find all the member in China, maybe more detailed for the cities they'll arrived, and then send them a message. i have to say, their sincere words made me have impulse to me try a rock live in the pub.
