   <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Willow,</p>
<p>I will be always loving you.</p>
<p>This letter is in reply to your letter dated Jan 14th,2011.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you expected,&nbsp;the mail-grandma doesn't read English,</p>
<p> but our receptionist does囧rz.</p>
<p>You thought it might be less noticeable if written in English,</p>
<p>but it was quite different from what you expected.</p>
<p>Imagine that all the postcards are written in Chinese except one.</p>
<p>The receptionist laughed and said:'Wow, once a week.'</p>
<p>Quite embarrassing,huh?</p>
<p>I had no idea you would drink though I really hoped you could have a little.</p>
<p>You two are the best Christmas gift I've ever had.</p>
<p>And this Christmas was the most Christmassy one I've ever had as well.</p>
<p>Thank God he brought you here by my side.</p>
<p>Best Wishes,</p>

   <title>LETTER </title>
   <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Niu,^_^, i doubt that the mail-grandma<span style="font-family: mceinline;"> reads </span>English（原句是i doubt the mail-grandma don't read English,囧rz，第三人称啊，双否就是肯定了）, so this, may be less noticeable（原句是 maybe，但还是拆开比较好）. I'm having the test tomorrow, doesn't matter any more. I totally had no idea that everything would be so different after（是after而不是before） &nbsp;I came to Shanghai. I did expect some little surprises from this trip, but this was huge!</p>
<p>I don't know how to end this letter.( End up最好是用来表示&ldquo;以什么什么做为结局&rdquo;比较好，虽然也有人这么用但是很少一般人不这么用。</p>
<p>&nbsp;I wish there will never be an end for us.（原来那句看起来似乎合乎wish 的用法但是确实没人这么用， i wish you a happy ending这么用是对的，但是没见过有人用 wish + there + sth，柳儿以后有什么不确定的可以用google搜一下就知道这句话老外说不说了。）</p><!--sp--><div class="addfav"><br />收藏到：<span class= "delicious"><a href="http://delicious.com/save?url=http%3A%2F%2Flishipeng21.blogbus.com%2Flogs%2F101470882.html&title=LETTER+">Del.icio.us</a></span></div><br /><br /><div class="sysmsg"><b><a href="http://www.blogbus.com" target="_blank">博客大巴，你的个人传媒早班车</a></b></div><br /><br />]]></description>

   <title>Craigslist是如何改变广告市场的</title>
   <description><![CDATA[<p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;在旧金山湾区，谈论craigslist是如何改变分类广告业务几乎是老掉牙的话题了。这家已有10年历史的免费服务网站Craigslist每月有近20亿次的网页浏览量。日前发表的一篇报告说，Craigslist造成旧金山湾区报纸损失高达6500万美元的招聘广告收入。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 创办于1995年的Craigslist是一家朴质无华的分类网站，人们可以在它上面寻找45个城市中的几乎任何东西，如公寓、约会对象或棒球票。自创办后，该网站建立起了一个生机勃勃的在线买家和卖家的网络，同时依然保持着无横幅广告的朴素的外观。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 书呆子程序员的作品</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craigslist创建人Craig Newmark说：&ldquo;人们不需要更多股票报价的地方，但所有人都偶尔会在寻找住房或工作上需要得到帮助。&rdquo;以此作为目标，craigslist诞生了――这是位将自己描述为兼有犹太和书呆子气质的软件程序员的作品。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 现年52岁的Newmark曾就职于Sun Microsystems、IBM和Bank of America等公司。其中，Newmark在IBM工作了17年，先是在佛罗里达Boca Raton，然后是在底特律。他说：&ldquo;我过着呆伯特式的生活（指工作上被上司亏待或利用）。&rdquo;直到1993年搬到旧金山，在Charles Schwab公司从事计算机安全工作后，Newmark才开始四处传播Web的价值。当时，一位同事，Darek Milewski（现在在Oracle就职），引导他见识了早期的Web：并第一次使用点击浏览器。他说：&ldquo;连我都能猜出这个玩意儿的潜力。&rdquo;1995年，他成为独立承包商，开始为Bank of America、Xircom (现在为Intel所收购)和Sun Microsystems开发软件。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1995之时，Internet黄金时代还没有到来，不过人们已开始寻找探索技术方面的工作。Newmark试图帮助他们。他向一个十几个熟人的电子邮件列表转发有关在一家先锋派艺术影院&ldquo;Anon Salon&rdquo;举行艺术和技术聚会的通知，推荐&ldquo;Joe's Digital Diner&rdquo;（由艺术家经营的新媒体和讲故事组织）的意大利面条晚餐。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 不久，朋友们相互转告：从一个名叫Craig的家伙那里收到的电子邮件里装满了有关旧金山的文化信息。朋友们询问能否将他们的朋友添加到Newmark的列表中时，他帮了这个忙。作为回报，这些读者将他们自己零零星星的旧金山消息提供给Newmark，供他再利用。这些消息包括工作职位和空闲房屋的信息。Anthony Batt 说：&ldquo;他实际上成为旧金山发生什么事情的代言人。看到从一堆电子邮件开始的东西变成一项运动，真令人激动。&rdquo; Batt是Buzznet.com创建人和电子邮件列表上最初十几位用户之一。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">1995年年中，Newmark跨过了一道门槛。&ldquo;我们达到了大约240个地址，&rdquo;超过了cc列表所能分发的极限。因此，他公布了这个服务供公众使用，而&ldquo;这意味着需要为它取个名字。&rdquo; Newmark考虑将它叫做&ldquo;旧金山事件&rdquo;。但是，狂热的爱好者们已经把它叫做Craig的列表。Batt说服他的朋友接受既成事实。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 这个诞生于9年前的网站利用了――或者也许开创了――一种社会现象：虚拟社区。想寻找在线跳蚤市场吗？想找工作或公寓吗？想寻找真正的爱情吗？想畅谈政治见解吗？想倾诉你难以启齿的想法吗？想寻找自制食品义卖活动（bake sale）吗？需要人手为你的栅栏刷漆或照看你的孩子吗？需要一位朋友吗？那就请登录。实际上，人们可以在Craigslist上找到所在城市中的几乎任何东西，如公寓房、约会对象或棒球票。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10年来，无数的人得到过Craigslist网站的帮助。 住在West Covina的大学生Kit-Ling Mui通过Craigslist找到了公寓，卖掉了父母的汽车并收养了一只猫。她还回复了一个人广告，认识了现在的男朋友Brian。家住Toluca Lake的33岁失业者Chris Gilbertson，通过搬运建筑垃圾，每周挣约900美元。搬运建筑垃圾是他在Craigslist登广告提供的一项服务。67岁的Leonard Becker通过在Craigslist登广告找到了急需肾源，挽救了自己的生命。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 虽然旧金山是其大本营，但Craigslist还在66个主要城市设有网站，其中包括洛杉矶、伦敦和蒙特利尔，并计划扩展到整个欧洲、澳大利亚以及菲律宾和印度的班加罗尔。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 市场调研机构Nielsen//NetRatings说，Craigslist的流量使其进入美国20大门户网站排行榜，与MSN、Yahoo和AOL等网站齐名。难能可贵的是，这家生机勃勃的网络依然保持着无横幅广告的朴素的外观。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Newmark现在仍将craigslist称作是他的个人业余爱好，尽管自1999年起这就是他赖以谋生的手段。事实上，除了旧金山湾区和纽约的雇主外，Craigslist对所有人都是免费的。湾区的雇主在发布工作公告时需要支付75美元。这惟一的收入来源对于支撑18名雇员绰绰有余，却已使旧金山湾区报纸就业广告收入的损失高达6500万美元。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 在湾区收费并不让人感到奇怪。在该地区，电视/电影/录像/广播职位是最流行的工种，尤其对于以真实故事为题材的电视节目制片人。NBC的&ldquo;Average Joe&rdquo;电视系列节目执行制片人Stuart Krasnow说：&ldquo;如果我们认为狗是人类的最好的朋友，那么我会说Craigslist是星探最好的朋友。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 终结传统分类广告</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craigslist已成为令传统报纸分类广告感到痛苦的竞争者。咨询公司Classified Intelligence此前发表的一篇报告让人了解到这家网站给分类广告业造成的深远影响。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Classified Intelligence去年12月发表报告称， 除了使旧金山湾区报纸的就业广告收入每年损失高达6500万美元，Craigslist还让这些报纸损失了数百万美元的商品和房地产广告收入，并重创了其他传统分类广告业务。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 所有这些都来自一家没有销售人员、没有公关人员、没有广播宣传，但却能像钳子一样抓住人们的目光的公司。网站上没有图像，只有列表――而且大部分列表是免费的。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 《San Francisco Chronicle》报前数字媒体副总裁Bob Cauthorn指出：&ldquo;的确，海湾地区的报纸创造的收入仍是craigslist的许多倍，仅就这个方面而言，报纸处于领先地位。但这是十分脆弱的领先优势，因为海湾地区的报纸在这位基本上免费的竞争对手面前，基本上失去了控制价格的能力。而且正如craigslist的列表量/用户流量显示的那样，这个市场毫无疑问已经离开报纸，落入到craigslist手中。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 仅拥有大约18名雇员的craigslist，由于易于使用、廉价且与用户建立了牢固的感情纽带而大获成功。Newmark说：&ldquo;我们的价值观要求我们是一项社区服务：我们帮助他人，为人们提供方便，结果我们得到了其中的很多工作公告。&rdquo; 因此，他认为：&ldquo;归根结底，让craigslist取得成功的原因是网站和经营网络的人员全心全意为用户着想。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 网站用户证明了该网站上的其他列表也同样令人感兴趣。网站有待价而沽的物品、讨论论坛以及一些非常&ldquo;个人&rdquo;的个人广告。而且该网站也是人们惟一可以看到Craig的网志的地方。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">Cauthorn估计，仅招聘公告一项，craigslist一年就从海湾地区的报纸手中抢走了5000万到6000万美元。但Cauthorn认为，报纸，或任何在线分类广告网站，仍可以与craigslist一争高低。他建议提供免费在线广告、为发布广告的用户提供简单的服务方法以及重视顾客服务。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;免费列表为市场发展提供了机会。随着市场的发展，越来越多的参与者――买家和卖家――会受到鼓舞参与进来。说到底，顾客的参与是必不可少的。不管你是家报纸，还是黄页出版商，还是.com公司，顾客的参与正是你所需要的东西。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 实际上，巨头们已经看到了Craigslist的价值。去年8月，网络巨头eBay从Craigslist另一位原始投资人手中购得了网站25%的股份。到目前为止，eBay已从合作伙伴的地位得到了好处。Newmark本人也收到多次收购建议，每一次建议都会让他成为千万富翁。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craigslist已将业务拓展到了旧金山海湾地区以外，包括66个美国城市、欧洲、亚洲、加拿大和澳大利亚。不久前，中国香港、韩国汉城、新加坡和班加罗尔地方网站已经开通。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 根据Newmark的计划，Craigslist也会最终对其他地区的招聘广告收费。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craigslist不是为了钱</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Newmark坚持认为，自己创办craigslist只是为了做一个体面的人，而且他依然这样认为。目前他正全身心致力于客户服务，而让一位雇用的CEO打理公司，管理18位雇员。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craigslist在一幢改造过的维多利亚式建筑中占据着两层楼。离办公楼不远有一个瑜珈馆和比萨饼店。5位员工在Eric Scheide的率领下在底层工作。Scheide是爱说俏皮话的计算机爱好者，他用缩写词ANGUISH称呼Internet。ANGUISH，即&ldquo;Al Gore的信息高速公路&rdquo;的戏称。网站由安装在另一个地点的50台服务器提供服务。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 楼上是会计和客户服务办公场所，Newmark与公司CEO Jim Buckmaster共用的办公室也在楼上。如果Newmark是船长，那么6英尺7英寸高的Buckmaster就是Spock，他那充满理性（logic-driven）的大副。Buckmaster的工作是管理公司的运营和控制Newmark慷慨的本性。在Buckmaster 2000年加盟公司之前，Newmark雇用员工从不看他们的简历。Buckmaster说：&ldquo;他会爽快地承认就他信任的人而言，他犯了一些糟糕的错误。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CEO的办公桌对着窗户，Newmark的办公桌对着墙。不久前的一天，Newmark坐在那里几个小时目不转睛地盯着计算机，当他亲自回复200到300封来自用户的电子邮件时，他的思绪锁定在自己的虚拟市场上。邮件的内容包括投诉、表扬或提建议。他在自己的网志（Craigblog）上回复贴子。在网志中，他每周数次发表普通人关心的问题，给予一线工作人员更多的职权以及保护消费权利。Newmark说：&ldquo;我是个相当激进的公民自由分子。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Newmark认为Craigslist是个所有人共有的公共场所，因此他以开明的态度对待网站管理。他将&ldquo;标记&rdquo;攻击性贴子的工作交给用户去做。尽管如此，他仍考虑是否应当删除它。他自言自语地说：&ldquo;哎哟，天哪，让我删掉这个贴子吧。这人发表了憎恨印度人的言论。&rdquo;&ldquo;我们是受社区的意愿而非法律规定支配的。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">如果有什么让他感到不满的话，那就是网络骗子和其他坏蛋（nogoodniks）。他谈到利用他的&ldquo;正义键盘&rdquo;来阻止&ldquo;做坏事的人&rdquo;。今天，他认为他发现了一个尼日利亚网络骗子：一群偶尔诱骗Craigslist用户购买某种商品的国际骗子中的一员。Newmark跟踪这个网络骗子的IP地址，从丹麦的某个城市一直跟踪到尼日利亚的拉各斯。&ldquo;如果我们阻挡这些坏蛋的IP地址，他们就再也不能看到我们的网站，我们认为这会有所帮助。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 不过，只要与他呆上够足多的时间，就会开始感到某些更深层次的东西：静静地在他的公司中流淌的价值观。这里有一个切入点：Newmark拒绝了多次收购建议（他不愿说出谁提出的建议）。他说，每一次建议都会让他成为千万富翁。一位刚刚卖掉用了10年、伤痕累累的Saturn牌汽车，购买了一辆新丰田车Prius（且更喜欢使用公共交通）的男人说，Craigslist不是为了钱。Newmark说：&ldquo;我们的价值观是只要挣下够支付账单的钱，小有结余就行了。因此，我们为什么要收费呢？我们的目的是人们互惠互利。我们是为了恢复人类在Internet上的发言权。&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 他不愿说出网站创造了多少收入以及他从收入中领取了多少工资。Newmark说，他的收入使他可以十分&ldquo;宽裕&rdquo;地向大约50所学校和非赢利组织捐款，包括公共广播电台和妇女避难所。他在Inter-Cultural Arts Exchange、Climate Theater和Haight Ashbury Food Program等组织的董事会任职。他为本地作家的活动提供赞助。现在，他还将支持另一项事业。&ldquo;我决定我应当帮助中东地区实现和平。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 或许，我们可以用Newmark的话作为结束语：&ldquo;早在1995年，我就想，&lsquo;嗨，我看到很多人以不同形式做出了很多奉献，帮助其他人。这非常符合我的价值观――我应当亲自去做这样的事情。&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ―――Craigslist创始人Craig Newmark访谈</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 拥有独特价值观和自己理想的Craig Newmark让记者充满了好奇。《计算机世界》报（中国）记者尝试着给他发了封邮件，了解Craigslist的最新进展，居然就在次日收到了回复。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 记者：Craigslist 目前最紧迫的任务是什么？开始更多本地网站，还是从分类广告中增加收入？</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craig Newmark： 我们需要不断改进网站和改善客户服务，让网站运行良好。我们会不时得开始更多本地网站。4月的第一个周我们就增加了5个地方网站。增加收入不是Craigslist的首要目标。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 记者：Craigslist每年的收入有多少？有没有上市的计划？</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craig Newmark ：我们不会发布这方面的信息。但分析人士一般估计收入在700－1000万美元。我们没有上市计划。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 记者： 在您眼中，除了Craigslist ，您还欣赏哪类网站？ 为什么？</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craig Newmark： 我对一些新兴的&ldquo;公民新闻&rdquo;网站比较感兴趣，比如wonkette.com和韩国的ohmynews.com。我认为他们将改变我们获得新闻方式。</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 记者：Craigslist有没有在中国等其他非英语国家开始本地网站的计划？</p>
<p style="margin: 22.5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; color: #000000;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Craig Newmark ： 我们正在考虑这方面的计划，但还没有明确的时间。实际上，我们有了香港本地网站（英文），但我们目前只能支持一种语言。我们需要解决多语言问题，以及各种文化和政治问题。但相信我们最终会解决这些问题。</p>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 美航提议日航作为其独家东北亚合作伙伴，保持日航远离德尔塔航空公司的控制。<br />美航总裁Gerard Arpey于这周三告诉日航,美航将不会为运送乘客到东北亚而与日航竞争，如果日航仍然是寰宇一家里美航的合作伙伴的话。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 德尔塔和它的天合联盟（SkyTeam）合作伙伴们提供了10亿美元用以引诱日航脱离美航。美航则以11亿美元的出价予以还击，争取日航继续成为其合作伙伴。德尔塔和美航的董事长们都提到他们可能会提高他们各自的出价。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Arpey于日本会见日本官员后说到，独家条件包括美航于美国至日本的货运市场但是不包括东北亚的其他地区，其他地区日航有它的运营中心。国泰航空和澳航都是美航寰宇一家的成员，同样服务于部分亚洲市场。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Arpey 说到，在日本拥有一个营运中心的德尔塔可能吸走日航的亚洲顾客，如果它们合作的话。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;我们不打算试图用一种免疫的方式来与伙伴合作运作这个市场（日本市场）。&rdquo;Arpey说到。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 他基本没有提供拟定安排的具体细节。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 日航拒绝发表任何评论。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Glen Hauenstein，德尔塔的网络规划与收入管理部的执行副总裁预计会与Arpey差不多时间抵达日本。德尔塔拒绝让他发表评论。在一份声明中，德尔塔说日航将得益于与德尔塔结为盟友。德尔塔航空公司说它能提供比现如今美航提供的更多的乘客给日航。<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 周五，美国和日本达成了重大的协议，协议放宽了两国的飞行限制。这会存在更宽泛的跨境航空联盟的可能性还为航空旅客提供了更多的选择。<br /></p>

<p>　民航资源网2009年12月1日消息：12月1日，备受业界及海内外媒体关注的&ldquo;中国内地首家SKYTRAX四星航空公司&rdquo;颁证仪式在北京海航万
豪酒店隆重举行。SKYTRAX机构主席Edward
Plaisted将SKYTRAX四星航空公司奖杯和证书颁发给海南航空股份有限公司（Hainan Airlines Company
Limited，简称&ldquo;海航&rdquo;）总裁王英明，标志着中国内地终于拥有了首家SKYTRAX四星航空公司，也是目前中国内地SKYTRAX星级评定之最高。
海航晋升SKYTRAX四星航空公司，体现出中国民航服务软实力的提升，对促进中国民航提高管理、服务水平，实现从&ldquo;民航大国&rdquo;向&ldquo;民航强国&rdquo;的跨越具有
里程碑的意义。这也意味着中国民族企业全面对接国际标准，在创建世界级品牌、助力国家软实力提升的道路上又迈出了坚实一步。</p>
<p>　　比利时王国
驻华大使Mr. Patrick NIJS、苏丹共和国驻华副大使Abdelmoniem O. Elbeiti、匈牙利共和国驻华大使
Mr.Sandor Zoltan
kusai等国外驻华使馆官员出席了颁证仪式，向中国内地首家SKYTRAX四星航空公司的诞生带来美好的祝愿。作为海航的忠实常旅客，中国国家乒乓球队
副领队邱文利和奥运冠军马琳也出席颁证仪式，并向SKYTRAX主席Edward
Plaisted和海航集团董事长陈峰分别赠送了有中国国家乒乓球队世界冠军和奥运冠军签名球拍，向海航表示祝贺。</p>

<p align="center"><strong>SKYTRAX主席：海航四星实至名归</strong></p>
<p>　　SKYTRAX主席
Mr.Edward
Plaisted在颁证仪式上发表了讲话，他指出，SKYTRAX在10年前将星级评定系统引进民用航空业，为遍布全球的航空公司进行星级评定，现在它已
经成为国际公认的航空公司产品和服务标准的象征。这些评定是基于航空公司在运营中传递给旅客的一线产品和服务标准，它的技术评定是建立在服务质量的评估之
上，同时也直接体现了旅客对航空服务的体验感受，如地面柜台值机、客舱座椅、客舱娱乐和餐饮、行李提取等等，这种全程旅行体验在星级评定项目中起着重要的
作用。</p>
<p>　　海航是一家年轻的、有活力的航空公司，以中国优秀传统文化和中国人民的特有热情，为世界各地旅客服务。海航保持了个性化和真诚的
服务特色，拥有很好的信誉，在最近的SKYTRAX审核中，海航快速并成功地完成了服务品质的提升，为此，海航荣获全球4星级航空公司的荣誉实至名归，相
信海航离SKYTRAX五星航空公司的目标也不会太遥远。</p>
<p align="center"><strong>海航集团董事长陈峰：为实现民航强国而不懈努力</strong></p>
<p>　　海航集团有限
公司（HNA
Group，简称&ldquo;海航集团&rdquo;）董事长陈峰在颁证仪式上致词，他表示，海航以强烈的历史使命感，勇担企业管理、服务水平提高和助力国家软实力提升的重大责
任。海南航空荣膺中国内地首家SKYTRAX四星航空公司既是海航发展历史上具有里程碑意义的盛大喜事，也是中国企业软实力提升的又一典型案例，标志着以
海航为代表的中国民族企业在创建中华民族的世界级品牌和世界级企业的道路上又迈出了坚实的一步，为国家软实力的提升做出了自己的一份贡献。</p>
<p>　
　创业16周年至今，海航集团已由一家单一的航空运输企业，转型为以航空旅游、现代物流、现代金融服务三大产业链条为支柱，涵盖&ldquo;吃、住、行、游、购、娱
&rdquo;六大产业要素的现代服务业综合运营商，总资产已经接近1300亿，员工6万多人。海航能够获得SKYTRAX四星航空公司评级，不仅是海航的光荣，也是
中国民航的光荣，这归功于党的领导、民航局的支持、广大旅客的厚爱；归功于包括全体海航人在内的全体民航人的孜孜追求和艰苦奋斗。海航将以荣获
SKYTRAX四星航空公司称号为契机，扎实工作，科学发展，以优秀的运行品质和一流的服务水准，更好地发挥民航在国民经济社会发展中的战略地位，为努力
实现由&ldquo;民航大国&rdquo;向&ldquo;民航强国&rdquo;的跨越再立新功。</p>
<p>　　在颁证仪式前的新闻通报会上，海航集团董事长陈峰向媒体记者介绍了海航服务品牌及
SKYTRAX评审情况。陈峰介绍说，海航作为中国第四大航空公司，自开航运营以来，以其优质的空地服务在业界和旅客中创造了良好口碑。自1998年以
来，连续10次获得&ldquo;旅客话民航&rdquo;用户满意优质奖。SKYTRAX是当今全球最具有公信力和独立性的航空运输研究认证机构，其针对航空产品和服务研究评选
具备广泛的权威性和指标性，世界各航空公司皆以能够获得SKYTRAX最佳航空公司奖项和星级评定而引以为荣。从2008年起，海航引入SKYTRAX审
核，通过全球专业航空咨询评估机构的评审，建立长期性航空产品、服务的监控、评估、改进机制，在客舱机供品、北京T1航站楼地面服务、客舱餐饮服务、乘务
员外语技能与沟通技巧等55个方面加大了培训力度和投入，提升整个产品服务链的品质。海航能够成为中国内地首获SKYTRAX认可的四星级航空公司，标志
着海航的服务水平已获得国际权威航空研究认证机构及广大旅客的认可。海航将以获得&ldquo;SKYTRAX四星航空公司&rdquo;为新起点，与业内同仁一道，共同为提升中
国民航服务水平，实现民航强国目标而努力奋斗。</p><!--sp--><div class="addfav"><br />收藏到：<span class= "delicious"><a href="http://delicious.com/save?url=http%3A%2F%2Flishipeng21.blogbus.com%2Flogs%2F53815810.html&title=%E6%B5%B7%E8%88%AA%E8%8D%A3%E8%86%BA%E5%86%85%E5%9C%B0%E9%A6%96%E5%AE%B6%E2%80%9CSKYTRAX+%E5%9B%9B%E6%98%9F%E8%88%AA%E7%A9%BA%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8%E2%80%9D">Del.icio.us</a></span></div><br /><br /><div class="sysmsg"><b><a href="http://www.blogbus.com" target="_blank">博客大巴，你的个人传媒早班车</a></b></div><br /><br />]]></description>

airlines cannot do consistently. As a group, low-cost airlines now

merger with United failed in 2008, and its bid to acquire Delta in 2008
failed when Delta resisted and acquired Northwest. US Airways recently
agreed to swap most of its facilities at New York's LaGuardia to Delta
in exchange for Delta' s assets at Reagan Washington National, where it
hopes to increase its operations. It will retain its Washington-New

moderate growth thereafter. Southwest's revenue is growing by having
more flights in major business-travel markets such as New York, Boston,
Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles, where average fares are higher. It has
earned $3.7 billion this decade and has the strongest balance sheet and
the only investment-grade credit rating among major U.S. airlines.
Southwest is open to acquisitions of other low-cost airlines. It has
the best labor relations in the industry. </td>

   <title>Chinese airlines to link surcharges to fuel costs</title>
   <description><![CDATA[<div class="bd">
<div class="content"><cite>Reuters - <abbr class="timedate" title="Thursday, November 12">Thursday, November 12</abbr></cite>
<p>BEIJING, Nov 12 -
Chinese airlines will set their own fuel surcharges in future based on
their cost of fuel, China's top planning body, the National Development
and Reform Commission, said on Thursday.</p>
<p>Previously the NDRC
had set a unified standard for the surcharges but it said henceforth
the airlines would use a formula, in which the only variable was their
own fuel costs. The formula also uses an index which will be updated
regularly, with the next update in April 2010.</p>
<p>The airlines
must adjust their surcharges within five days of the jet fuel cost
change, the NDRC said. (Reporting by Eadie Chen and Tom Miles; Editing

   <title>Airlines cut flights, cram passengers in</title>
   <description><![CDATA[<p>By McClatchy Newspapers	Saturday, November 7, 2009	
	</p>
<p>If your most recent flight felt crowded, it was.</p>
<p>Most domestic airlines reported that the load factor &mdash; the
percentage of seats filled &mdash; topped 80 percent for the third quarter as
carriers cut flights out of their schedules. So though fewer passengers
are flying these days, planes are fuller because fewer seats are
available, industry analysts say.</p>
<p>And that trend of high load factors is expected to continue through the holidays.</p>
<p>"Business travelers, who pay three to four times more per ticket,
used to subsidize some empty seats, and because airlines don't have
that business traveler anymore, they will stick as many low-yielding
passengers &mdash; all the way to the gills &mdash; into a plane," said Rick
Seaney, chief executive of <a href="http://farecompare.com/" target="_new">FareCompare.com</a>, a Web site that tracks airfares.</p>
<p>Planes are so full that it might be time to rethink that
time-honored strategy of accepting money or vouchers for volunteering
to be bumped. You just might not get back on anytime soon.</p>
<p>The July-September quarter is traditionally the strongest for
airlines as leisure travelers fill up planes during the summer and
business travelers start flying again in the fall.</p>
<p>But with the recession, domestic carriers had to drop airfares
dramatically to entice vacationers to fly in late summer. They ended up
cutting flight capacity in September because business travel demand was
low.</p>
<p>As a result, analysts say load factors remained strong, in the low-
to mid-80 percent range, in the third quarter. That was true even at
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, which typically has load factors in
the 60s and low 70s.</p>
<p>For the third quarter, Southwest reported that its load factor
increased eight percentage points, to 79.6 percent, compared with the
third quarter of 2008.</p>
<p>"Our load factors have been consistently running at record levels
and in some cases beating some long-standing previous records," Chief
Executive Gary Kelly said during a recent conference call.</p>
<p>Three of the largest domestic carriers &mdash; Continental Airlines, Delta
Air Lines/Northwest Airlines and United Airlines &mdash; all reported a
third-quarter load factor of 85.8 percent.</p>
<p>At Fort Worth-based AMR Corp., American Airlines said its load
factor rose 1.7 percentage points, to 83.9 percent, while its regional
carrier, American Eagle, saw its load factor rise 3.7 points, to 73.1
percent.</p>
<p>Though passengers are taking advantage of low fares, the lack of
business travelers is making it difficult for American to predict how
full its planes will be this winter.</p>
<p>"Uncertainty persists about how travel demand will trend," American
Chief Financial Officer Tom Horton said during an earnings conference
call. He said that American's domestic load factor for the remainder of
the year was down about 1 percentage point and that international was
flat.</p>
<p>The days of the middle seat being empty on a plane are long gone, analysts said.</p>
<p>As a result of skyrocketing fuel prices in the summer, airlines
started pulling planes out of service because flying them half-full was
too expensive. When corporations cut travel budgets during the
recession, airlines decreased their flights schedules even more.</p>
<p>"Since the airlines have downsized so much over the last two years,
the load factors are going to remain pretty high," said Tom Parsons,
chief executive of <a href="http://bestfares.com/" target="_new">BestFares.com</a>, an Arlington, Texas,-based travel company.</p>
<p>And until business travel demand picks up again, most airlines will
continue to adjust their schedules. Analysts say that if the price of
crude oil continues to go up &mdash; it's now trading at nearly $80 a barrel
&mdash; domestic carriers may park even more airplanes in the desert.
Industry analyst Mike Boyd said that if demand drops in the fourth
quarter, American still has older aircraft that it can "park tomorrow
if they have to."</p>
<p>He said domestic carriers are already running about as full as
possible, as 100 percent load factors are statistically impossible
because planes are often flown empty overnight to start their routes in
the morning. And that has emboldened airlines to start increasing fares
slightly.</p>
<p>For example, most carriers have added a $10 holiday travel surcharge for peak holiday travel days.</p>
<p>"You get anywhere past 85 percent, you are as full as you can get,"
Boyd said. "What that means is they have pricing traction. They can add
a surcharge here or there."</p><!--sp--><div class="addfav"><br />收藏到：<span class= "delicious"><a href="http://delicious.com/save?url=http%3A%2F%2Flishipeng21.blogbus.com%2Flogs%2F50587760.html&title=Airlines+cut+flights%2C+cram+passengers+in">Del.icio.us</a></span></div><br /><br /><div class="sysmsg"><b><a href="http://www.blogbus.com" target="_blank">博客大巴，你的个人传媒早班车</a></b></div><br /><br />]]></description>

   <title>陈峰：“其实我胆子小，每时每刻如履薄冰”</title>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #666666;">2009-10-13 《第一财经日报》 陈姗姗、徐含露</span></p>
<p>　再次采访陈峰，是在杭州的一家五星级酒店，这家酒店几个月前才被海航集团有限公司（HNA Group，简称&ldquo;海航集团&rdquo;）买下，而几日前，海航刚以单价36481元/平方米的高价，拍得黄浦江中心段地块。</p>
<p>　　下午两点半，陈峰结束了新员工的培训课程准时出现，醒目的红色领带，衬得这位新晋&ldquo;上海地王&rdquo;的带头人红光满面。</p>
<p>　
　&ldquo;那块地将作为大新华物流和海航集团在上海金融企业的总部。&rdquo;陈峰这样解释高价拿下上海那两块地的原因，&ldquo;之所以选择上海，一是看中了上海国际航运中心
和金融中心的两个中心的建设，这正是海航集团的两大产业。此外，海航也正需要一个优质的地块来树立企业高品质的形象。&rdquo;　从海南到上海，从航空到地产，如
今的海航，布局的网正越拉越大。</p>
<p align="center"><strong>&ldquo;战战兢兢&rdquo;的争议人物</strong></p>
<p>　
　1990年，离开民航总局计划司、国家空中交通管制局计划处的陈峰，受命组建海南航空时，手里只有海南省政府拨给他的1000万元人民币&mdash;&mdash;陈峰常说这
&ldquo;连半个飞机翅膀都买不起&rdquo;&mdash;&mdash;谁又能想到，他会在中国民航这片&ldquo;垄断的天空&rdquo;下，打造出一个国内第四大航空集团，所以从很久以前，陈峰就一直是中国民航
界最有争议的人物。</p>
<p>　　国内的一些航空公司提到他会说，海航是一个市场的搅局者。</p>
<p>　　民航总局的内部人士却指出，他要办的事没有办不成的。</p>
<p>　　一些分析师则表示，研究过海航的股票，但很不容易看懂。</p>
<p>　　而他的员工会说，他是一个脾气来得快、去得也快的执着追求者。</p>
<p>　　有人评价陈峰敢想、敢干、胆子大。而陈峰却说，山西人骨子里胆小。&ldquo;我每时每刻都如履薄冰，战战兢兢。&rdquo;</p>
<p>　　的确，对于行业，陈峰一直保持着一种谨慎的乐观。</p>
<p>　　回忆起去年爆发的金融危机，陈峰庆幸海航有一件事没做，也做了一件事。&ldquo;没做的事就是燃油套保，做的事是在金融危机来临之前就开始收缩战线，大规模地降低成本。通过开源节流，海航集团去年节约了11亿元成本，增收了28亿元。&rdquo;</p>
<p>　
　而如今，海航终于等到了国内航空市场开始回暖的迹象，不过，陈峰认为现在还不能说彻底回暖，&ldquo;首先金融危机的发源地美国还没有回暖，其次全世界航空运输
业应该说还是非常困难的，因此国际航线的压力还很大，所以中国航空业要想真正取得一些大的发展，解决根本问题，还有待时日。&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><strong>扩张与修身</strong></p>
<p>　　不过，在金融危机期间，海航在一些领域的投资并没有停止，比如上半年挂牌成立大新华物流集团，进入全新的物流领域，下半年收购了浙江的造船厂，进入了上海的黄金地段。</p>
<p>　　如今的海航，涉足的领域有旅游服务、机场管理、现代物流、酒店管理、商贸零售、金融服务、房地产等，显然已经与国内其他航空企业走上了一条不同的道路。</p>
<p>　
　对于外界关于海航多元化扩张风险的质疑，陈峰在接受记者采访时一再强调，海航并不是一个所谓的&ldquo;多元化&rdquo;企业，&ldquo;我们现在的产业都是属于现代服务业，地
产是围绕主业的地产，物流是海陆空联运的物流，还有以旅游为龙头配置的现代旅游集团，这样才能将产业链的附加值加大。&rdquo;</p>
<p>　　而说到陈峰本人，这个在身着西装革履包装下自信从容的老总，最感兴趣的却是中间的传统文化。</p>
<p>　
　如果成为海航的员工，你就得熟悉牢记&ldquo;同仁共勉十条&rdquo;：团体以和睦为兴盛，精进以持恒为准则。健康以慎食为良药，诤议以宽恕为旨要。长幼以慈爱为进德，
学问以勤习为入门。待人以至诚为基石，处众以谦恭为有理。凡事以预立而不劳，接物以谨慎为根本。因为随时可能会有被电话抽查背诵其中一两条的危险。</p>
<p>　　&ldquo;同仁共勉十条&rdquo;，是南怀瑾从百丈禅师&ldquo;修行20条&rdquo;里挑出来的，陈峰说，这十条都是做人做事的道理，他的员工谁背过了这十条，谁真的认同这十条他一眼就能看出来，因为&ldquo;相由心生，背过的人、认同的人，眼神都充满了善念&rdquo;。</p>
<p>　　而在办公室里，陈峰也都是穿着对襟开衫工作的，办公室里面还有个小房间，要出去开会了，陈峰就进入小房间换上西装，做一个老板工作时应该有的打扮。</p>
<p align="center"><strong>问答</strong></p>
<p>　　CBN：明年航空业的走势你如何预计？</p>
<p>　　陈峰：我就怕金融危机再来第二波，目前美国的信贷问题还没完，美国三万亿刺激计划结束以后怎么办？债务的问题怎么解决？第二，欧洲的问题也没解决，再加上中国的产业结构调整也不会那么快，所以到底怎么样还要看。</p>
<p>　　CBN：认为国家对航空业还需要有哪些支持政策？</p>
<p>　
　陈峰：民航局已经给我们很多支持了，但我觉得随着中国航空企业的发展，应该在扶持优秀的航空企业发展得更快、提供更多的航空资源方面步伐更大一点，这样
有利于中国航空业高质量的发展，而并不只是发展国家的三大航空，多给我们点公平待遇和发展的环境，这样更有利于老百姓得到实际利益。</p>
<p>　　CBN：据说大新华航空现在推迟上市了，主要阻碍在哪里？</p>
<p>　　陈峰：我们之前说的是进行资本市场的准备，并没有说出上市的时间表，去年和前年的计划到金融危机还能行吗？一切都要推倒重来了，原来的想法已经不适合今年的环境和条件，之前进行的政府注资、定向增发，都是按新的条件下必要的资本市场的运作。</p>
<p>　　CBN：今年商业领袖奖的主题是&ldquo;领导力&middot;潜&rdquo;，你怎么理解这个主题？</p>
<p>　
　陈峰：在任何时候，任何一个组织都涉及到基本的领导力和领导力运用的问题。我觉得这里有两点，首先是领导个人的修养和素质，中国儒家讲的修身齐家治国平
天下，实际这跟佛学讲的明心见性是一个概念，如果一个领导者修养到了一定的境界，就能够有智慧把事情看透看准，这是领导力最重要的组成部分。第二点，中国
有句古话叫&ldquo;运用之妙存乎于心&rdquo;，心的运用和管理技能的运用是领导力最重要的两方面。</p><!--sp--><div class="addfav"><br />收藏到：<span class= "delicious"><a href="http://delicious.com/save?url=http%3A%2F%2Flishipeng21.blogbus.com%2Flogs%2F49457939.html&title=%E9%99%88%E5%B3%B0%EF%BC%9A%E2%80%9C%E5%85%B6%E5%AE%9E%E6%88%91%E8%83%86%E5%AD%90%E5%B0%8F%EF%BC%8C%E6%AF%8F%E6%97%B6%E6%AF%8F%E5%88%BB%E5%A6%82%E5%B1%A5%E8%96%84%E5%86%B0%E2%80%9D">Del.icio.us</a></span></div><br /><br /><div class="sysmsg"><b><a href="http://www.blogbus.com" target="_blank">博客大巴，你的个人传媒早班车</a></b></div><br /><br />]]></description>
