William, ever wonder what AMZN's second shift does? Enron Accused of Shredding Papers 1/21/2002 10:01:00 PM WASHINGTON, Jan 21, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Enron shredded boxes of documents at its Houston headquarters after the federal government began investigating the company, an attorney representing Enron investors said Monday night. "They even shredded on Christmas Day," William Lerach, an attorney who is suing Enron, told The Associated Press. He said he was taking some of the shredded documents to court Tuesday where he will demand court custody of all relevant Enron papers. Robert Bennett, an attorney representing Enron, issued a statement saying that Enron is investigating the reported destruction of documents that allegedly took place at its Houston headquarters after the federal government began investigating the company. A former Enron executive, Maureen Castaneda, told ABC News on Monday the shredding of documents began after Thanksgiving on the 19th floor in an accounting office and continued through at least last week. "From what we have learned, destruction of evidence at Enron was open and notorious and widespread," Lerach said. The Securities and Exchange Commission began looking into Enron in mid-October. "We are investigating the circumstances of the reported destruction of documents," Bennett said. In an on-air interview with ABC, Castaneda displayed one box of the shredded material which "I got ... when I was leaving work to basically use ... for packing material. "There were ... a lot more than this," she said, standing next to the box. She said some of the shredding may have occurred as recently as this month. Some of the shredded Enron paper displayed in the ABC story contained the word "Jedi," one of the entities involved in an array of off-the-books partnerships which kept hundreds of millions of dollars in Enron debt off the company's balance sheet for several years. The partnerships were a major factor in sending the company into bankruptcy. Bennett, the Washington attorney, said that "in October 2001 the company issued several directives to all Enron employees worldwide that all relevant documents should be preserved in light of pending litigation. If anyone violated those directives, they will be dealt with appropriately."

>> Is there such a thing as a meaningless banana? << bananas are meaningless in my diet. they are one of the most sugary fruits. "oh, but they're so full of potassium!" --1/3 cup of sunflower seeds contains as much or more potassium as a banana --avocados have nearly three times as much potassium as a banana --1/2 cup of peanuts contain more potassium than a banana -- a cup of milk has nearly as much potassium as a banana ---fresh meat/poultry/fish are good sources of potassium --a cup of strawberries or blackberries have more than half as much potassium as a sugary banana--with more fiber and vitamin c
