To answer your question, exactly when the firm must raise prices in order to his earnings targets and dividend payouts. In other words, managers should be expected to reduce margins as costs approach revenues. Of course, management compensation is tied to earnings targets more than any other metric of the business, so don't expect my idea to fly anytime soon.

It’s really surprising his kind of incident become a news in Osaka. I have a feeling Osaka become safer than 90s.

What is the typical "profile" of an attacker? Are the attackers usually young or middle-aged? Do they typically attack boys, girls, or both? What is the "pattern"?

Is this sort of motive really plausible? Would a 28 year old (then) man get this angry over a cell phone? Rude friends/roommates/significant others breaking or failing to return personal property is the stuff of mediocre comedians in the U.S. For this to be a cause for murder is sort of "out there". Anyone else think that there were other issues between these two?

"No Choice". Well, how about "cut your profit margins"? It's frustrating to see that the U.S. corporate sector has exported the "increase net income at all costs" sickness to Japan.

Why was a train delayed from a scheduled departure over graffiti? Why not wait until the weekend or some other "down" period and just clean it off then? Just curious.

It's ironic that John Hurt, star of the film adaption of Orwell's 1984, had a part, because this movie is total prole-feed. Seriously, I honestly have never seen a more formulaic film. From the mad-lib fill-in-the-blank plot and predictable one-liners ("They weren't you, baby") to the CGI effects, the whole thing felt machine-generated.

Oh, and didn't Henry Jones, Sr. drink from the Holy Grail and win immortality? Maybe the Cup of Christ needs a disclaimer: "Warning - immortality void if drinker is a supporting actor who fails to make the star look young by comparison".
