Furukawa looked happy, but exhausted and very weak / frail.

He WINS custody, but does not HAVE custody. Until those kids are with the father, the ruling by the court has no teeth.

I am glad they were caught!!! I think the bullies should get community service. Allow them to clean the school toilets, since they prefer to see crapola. Then let them clean out the public restrooms at parks and such, too!
I feel sorry for the bullied boy, as I am sure he is suffering a lot emotionally.

This means my local liquor store is going to suggest I buy this crap every time I go there for the next month. :-(

So, once the public is aware, they will scale back...
If you are abused or need to talk to someone, you had better take a day off, because this hotline only operates during regular weekday work hours. Also interesting to note that it does not look like a "dial-free" number, so if you are paying for the call it will show up on your phone records. Hopefully the abusive husband is not in charge of paying that!

@lucabrasi - they should stop them before they are drunk. If a friend drives to the bar, there is a good chance s/he intends to drive later.

Listen to the owners of the company, the stock holders, and put Woodford back in place.

The only reason this was "enforced" was because a young women had to die. I hope the other was not injured too severely, although she will probably be emotionally scared for life.
I hope no one comments that 17 year-old girls are to blame because they were out too late!

So...who is going to buy up the pieces of Olympus? They have 70% of the market with endoscopes. Maybe a non-Japanese corporation? Kimberly-Clark, Pentax, even a lens company like Carl Zeiss...hmm...

@Bluebris - If the black rhinos were swimming the Japanese might!
If the Japanese are whaling for scientific purposes, I wounder if and what they are publishing from their research. This would at least show some justification that they are not lying to the anti-whaling world.

I agree with one thing that the new pres said yesterday...the products they make are still good. Olympus has a 70% world-wide market share on optical medical equipment.
Get a new mgmt team in, and the stock will bounce back, somewhat. Put in Woodford, and let him have a real go! Seems like they need someone who does not manage the Japanese way.

I think this is just a way for the AKB girls to get child support once their careers stall, sputter and fade away.

Haha! Thanks for the comment @NetNinja! I agree with you, except for slamming the door on someone's foot! Instead I would go to "I don't speako Japanese" act. ;-)
