ZTE announces 2011 financials: turnover up, profits down, political scandals tricky

Image
ZTE's annual earnings report is out and it's a mixed bag for the Chinese company with aspirations to go west. Revenues grew 23 percent to 86.25 billion RMB ($13.7 billion) but net profit fell a hefty 36.6 percent to 2.06 billion RMB ($327 million). More than half of ZTE's operating revenue came from overseas as the company moves into the global space and, while some of that cash came from its smartphone business, much more poured in from the infrastructure arm that supplies LTE equipment to networks. At the same time, ZTE is having to deal with accusations that it sold $131 million worth of snooping gear to Iran to monitor its own citizens, forcing the company to limit its operations there -- although it insists this won't have any impact on its future income.

No joke: Great performance can't save 'Idol'

By Craig Berman, TODAY.com contributor

Fox

Heejun Han delivered his best performance of the season Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to keep him in the competition.

The Heejun Han musical comedy tour ended on ?American Idol? on Thursday, ironically following his best solo performance of the season.

After weeks of getting not-so-subtle hints that he should cut back on the jokes, culminating with Steven Tyler?s less-veiled swipe a week ago, Han cut out the act and did a straight-up performance of Donny Hathaway's ?A Song for You.? It was sweetly done and earned him a standing ovation.

But Jimmy Iovine summed up the situation best in his Thursday video clip. He praised Han?s effort but noted, ?My problem is I don?t think he sings as well as the other eight contestants at this point in the show.?

And therein lies the paradox that characterized Han?s stint on ?Idol.? He wasn?t quite compelling enough of an entertainer to win in the Taylor Hicks style, and he wasn?t a good enough pure vocalist to take the title that way. Whatever he did was going to win him some support ? he definitely has a future in entertainment somewhere ? but not enough to win a competition like this one.

Even on his best night, he legitimately had one of the weakest performances because everyone else was at their best as well. Since the judges did not use their save to keep him around, Han finishes in ninth place and will have to pack his things just after he moved into the ?Idol? mansion. It will definitely be a less funny place without him around.

Fox

The more shocking news was that Skylar Laine was in the bottom three, along with Hollie Cavanagh, who deserved that fate. That means Laine will likely get the fawning from the judges that?s been reserved for Elise Testone?as they try to keep the star women on the show without having to use their save so early. Maybe it was divine payback for picking Miranda Lambert as her idol, considering Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton, works for "The Voice."

Of course, there are other female stars that the judges seem less eager to have hang around. Guest performer Nicki Minaj, for example. She asked host Ryan Seacrest if she could come back and be a guest judge, and while their mouths said ?any time? the body language and facial expressions said ?no shot.? Especially if Jennifer Lopez has a say. She did not look happy at the thought of a challenge. Simon Cowell has more of a chance at being invited to judge again than Minaj does.

Hitting the other end of the excitability meter was the Eric Benet cameo. He appeared briefly onstage to tell DeAndre Brackensick how much he appreciated the young man's cover of his tune "Sometimes I Cry" on Wednesday, and the ?Idol? hopeful reacted as if ?he?d won the lottery. Mariah Carey did not do the same for Joshua Ledet, but she did tweet that she liked his performance of "Without You." Stunningly, she did not mention having worked with Randy Jackson. Maybe that feedback loop works only one way?

Brackensick avoided the bottom three this past week, but he can?t rest easy. Given the unpredictability of the voting so far, the only sure thing is that with Han out, there will be less irreverence in the show next week.

Were you surprised that Skylar and Hollie were in the bottom three? Who should have had to sit on the stools? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page!

Inspiration + Action = Creation: Abundance and joy - what could be ...

Today's cards: The Empress, The World, The Ace of Cups. I am impressed. These cards rock. On toast. With jam. But first, a word of caution, unless you are actively seeking to get pregnant/have a baby, use lots of protection. Those of you who are actively seeking to get pregnant/have a baby, get to it. Today will be a good day for that. A really good day.

Really, I'm psyched about these cards. They say to me that today is the first day of the rest of your life. Seriously. It promises abundance, bounty, things coming around full circle and a brand new cycle of joy and fulfillment.

Find the happy today. Spread the love. Share the wealth. If you put out kindness, kindness and abundance will come back to you multiplied and all the sweeter.

If you aren't in a place to feel kind towards others, today is the perfect day to be kind to yourself. Eat juicy fruit and drink lots of water. Take some time to plan your dream vacation (even if you aren't going anytime soon). Get ye to google images and find pics of your favorite spot. (Here's one of mine:?http://cache2.artprintimages.com/lrg/20/2098/C3R2D00Z.jpg.) And if you can, promise yourself to put your spare change or dollars into a jar toward that dream vacation. Make it concrete and you are one step closer to getting there. Even small amounts of money will eventually accumulate into something you can work with.

Enjoy the bounty in your life today and open your heart to new paths and new possibilities. They really are out there even if you haven't been seeing them.

And above everything else, look for the joy and bounty in your life. Mark it, acknowledge it and you'll see how it adds up to make you feel fruitful, joyful, and happy.
