European headache for Disney.
International Herald Tribune, 3/26/2004

"Starting this year, Euro Disney's debt will have to be put on Disney's own balance sheet, and its losses will show up in Disney operating results as well... The new (post-Enron) rules are forcing companies to consolidate the results of subsidiaries they once could leave off the balance sheet, such as Euro Disney. Disney has had decent disclosure in footnotes, but starting this year all that debt will be on the balance sheet."

"Singapore (23 March 2004) - After a week-long of toil, tension and anxiety, Abdul Rahman Bin Selamat and Zaiton Majid (Team 17) dominated the other 18 remaining teams representing Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and Hong Kong and were crowned the winners of Asia's first reality challenge on a cable car, 'Surviving the Sky', which ended 12 noon today.

"The winning team will walk away with the S$50,000 grand prize, comprising of S$20,000 cash and a 7-day cruise around the Mediterranean Sea (worth S$30,000), sponsored by Costa Stars. They will enjoy the special ambience on an immaculately run ship after a tough week in the cable car.

"During the interview process, this team impressed the judges with a dance, their energy and their sporting personalities. These gave them an instant ticket to be one of the final 21 teams representing Singapore. Zaiton is a henna tattoo artist and Rahman, a music lover. They chose henna as their luxury item to kill their boredom. Now, they are the winners of the grand prize!"

"All are hanging on despite the heat, the cold and the smells."
