People in stable, long-term relationships and marriages often feel rejected by their partner at some time or another. While many such experiences are mild, when they recur over long periods of time, they can be extremely painful. Indeed, being repeatedly rejected by your partner can damage your self-esteem and psychological health—and endanger the entire relationship.
While the bathroom and kitchen may be the most "dangerous" rooms in the house in terms of physical injury, most of our emotional injuries happen in the bedroom. When your partner rebuffs your advances; avoids your attempts at intimacy; turns away when you try to kiss him or her; is reluctant to have date nights; goes to bed significantly before or after you do; falls asleep on the couch or in the kids' room; drinks too much during a romantic dinner and crawls into bed without you; or claims exhaustion when you're finally alone, or on a vacation—you are going to feel rejected and it's going to hurt.

February known as month for meteors
The trail of a falling object is seen above a residential apartment block in the Urals city of Chelyabinsk, in this still image taken from video shot on Feb. 15. (REUTERS/ Spetszakaz)
Fireballs the size of the one seen in central Russia are relatively rare, but are more expected when February rolls around.
"Smaller meteor fireballs are actually quite common, and curiously enough, the frequency of meteor fireballs is typically 10 percent to 30 percent higher in February than in other months for reasons that are unknown," said Dr. Jody Wilson, a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center.
The so-called "Fireball February" phenomenon has been known since the 1960s, Wilson said.
It proved frightening Friday when countless video cameras and others mounted on car dashboards captured stunning images of a 10-ton meteor streaking across the Russian sky. The fireball that left a white trail hanging in the sky created an intense sonic boom that blew out windows and caused other building damage, leaving more than 1,000 people injured.
The meteor mayhem came on the same day that a 150-foot-wide asteroid passed dangerously close to Earth at 2:24 p.m. The asteroid was not believed to be linked to the Russian meteor.
"Simply based on the direction the fireball was traveling over Russia, which was approximately north to south, it had to have been in a very different orbit from (the asteroid), which is flying by the Earth in an approximately south to north direction," Wilson said.
The Russian meteor created panic and renewed fears of an end-of-the-world event just like one in 1908 that hit Siberia, flattening trees over 800 square miles and sending people running to holy shrines and monasteries to pray.
Wilson said the amount of damage caused by impacting meteorites depends mostly on the size of the meteoroid.
On any given night, Wilson said one can see several harmless meteors in the sky per hour caused by falling objects that are smaller than a grain of sand.
"At the other extreme, a 10-mile wide asteroid hitting the Earth can cause a global mass extinction such as the one that killed the dinosaurs," he said.
Wilson said 10-foot-wide objects - roughly the size of the Russian meteor - hit the Earth about once every year.
Life-threatening impacts are rare, and while they do happen, "there is so much uninhabited land and ocean on the Earth that it's more likely they will hit where nobody even sees them."

I was playing with the Windows Live installer the other day and noticed that it wouldn't work on our site, after some poking around i discovered that it doesn't work well from behind a proxy and it doesn't use the IE proxy settings.
I used the proxycfg.exe tool to set the WinHTTP service proxy and off it went, brilliant, or so i thought. The problem is that my WSUS server hasn't seen my box since. I used the proxycfg.exe tool to set the proxy back to blank as it was before but when i analyze network traffic with Wireshark i can see the WSUS client still seems to be asking the EMBC proxy where our WSUS is.
I've deleted all of the WSUS settings i can find but it's still not working.
Teach me to fiddle :-)
Any ideas?
Ah sorted it there was still a key set in the registry even though the proxycfg.exe tool was showing blank

Scrum Methodology
Learn Scrum
The Scrum methodology of agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. In fact, Scrum and other agile processes were inspired by its shortcomings. The Scrum methodology emphasizes communication and collaboration, functioning software, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities — all attributes that suffer in the rigidly ordered waterfall paradigm.
Universal Impediments
Posted by admin under Scrum Basics
Over at Computerworld's web site, I just read an interesting interview with Christophe Louvion, who has been serving as a ScrumMaster at online ad network Gorilla Nation for about a year. Louvion doesn't get too deep into what it takes to transform an organization to Scrum, but his answers will likely remind you ScrumMasters who read this blog that the challenges you face are not limited to your organization. For example, he had to convince management to re-organize teams to be cross-functional, regrouping teams by "product and value streams"; he still has to persuade middle-managers to be "impediment-removers," not taskmasters; and he still prefers developers with team-friendly soft skills over genius coding knowhow. If these sound like familiar scenarios (and I'm sure they do), at least you're not alone…

Crochet Health Survey – Press Release (Please Share!)
A new crochet health survey has been launched to study how crochet heals people.
A new crochet health survey has been launched to study how crochet heals people.
I want to take the research to the next level by gathering your input into the different health benefits of crochet. I've created a survey to examine how crochet heals.
If crochet has helped you through depression, anxiety, physical illness, trauma, grief or anything else at all and you'd like to share your story then please get in touch.
There are a slew of news reports and media highlights hitting the mainstream that shows that it's true that crochet heals.
This one is about your yarn color choices and how to think more carefully about them particularly when crocheting through tough emotional times.
An excerpt from my book, Crochet Saved My Life: The Mental and Physical Health Benefits of Crochet, about how crochet can help the caregivers of people with illnesses.
I'm sharing this because I believe in crochet health, because it's been awhile since I've shared one of the book's stories of the women who hook to heal, and because I'm going to be sharing Tammy's newest book on the blog next week so I want you to meet her.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and of mental processes. Psychologists study a broad range of behavior, which includes the development of language, thinking and physical skills, abnormal behavior, brain functioning, health and well-being, as well as social, cross-cultural and gender perspectives. This is by no means an exhaustive list.
Psychologists also investigate behaviors in species other than humans in an effort to better understand humans. Unlike Anthropology and Sociology, which are other social sciences, the field of Psychology focuses on the individual and the biological, cognitive and social processes that impact an individual's behavior.
The YVCC Psychology Department is pleased to have a variety of expertise represented in our faculty. Their backgrounds include clinical practice, research, and interdisciplinary scholarship. The Psychology Department at Yakima Valley Community College offers courses that are suited for freshman and sophomore students, who want greater insight into themselves and others, and who might be interested in majoring in Psychology.

Constant speed runs for aero measurement work and set-up testing with the F14 T were on the agenda today. Kimi Raikkonen made up for some of the time lost yesterday to various difficulties, bringing a busy programme to a close at the Catalan track. Most of the running was done on the Medium tyres, ending on the softer compound. There were no problems today and the weather was much more spring-like than yesterday.

Barcelona Motor Show: GM unveils Opel Corsa GSi
The Barcelona Motor Show kicks off today, and GM will use the Spanish venue to show off its new Opel Corsa GSi (its UK twin, the Vauxhall Corsa SRi, has also been announced). Positioned below the range-topping Corsa OPC, the GSi gets a detuned version of the OPC's 1.6L 192-horsepower turbo four In GSi guise, the little hatch is good for 150 horsepower. That'll still be enough to let it do 0-62 in 8.1 seconds and top out at 130 mph, all while pulling down nearly 30 mpg (US) in the combined cycle.
In the UK, the Vauxhall Corsa SRi will also be available with 1.7L CDTi diesel, which will drop the acceleration time to 9.1 seconds and increase fuel economy to over 49 mpg US.
Available in 3-door and 5-door variants, the Corsa GSi gets sporty bodywork, an attractive set of 17" five-spoke wheels, and two-tone seats. It goes on sale in Europe this September. We'll have to wait for the next-gen Corsa to arrive, which will be sold here as a Saturn.

New Opel Corsa GSi: Powerful Performance and Subtle Sportiness
* 150 hp turbo gasoline engine available for three and five-door models
* Legendary GSi concept receives a modern update
Rüsselsheim. The theme of the new Opel Corsa GSi is 'more substance than show'. In contrast to the Opel Corsa OPC, which was launched a few months ago, the new GSi radiates subtle sportiness rather than uncompromising high-performance, and will be unveiled at the Barcelona Motor Show (June 7 - 17, 2007). The GSi's powerful 1.6 ECOTEC turbo engine produces 110 kW/150 hp at 5000 rpm, positioning the new sporty model between the Corsa Sport 1.7 CDTI (125 hp) and the high-performance Corsa OPC (192 hp).
"We're pleased to launch another model, with the legendary GSi heritage. Opel fans know just what the three letters GSi stand for: plenty of fun, good value for money and no compromises in everyday use or driving conditions," explains Alain Visser, Executive Director European Marketing Opel. "The Corsa GSi combines the virtues of its compact dimensions with impressive performance over the entire rpm range, which actually positions the model in the next higher car class." The addition of the GSi to the Corsa model line expands the range to five gasoline and three diesel variants with a performance spectrum of 60 to 192 hp. Over 320.000 new Corsas have been sold across Europe since the fourth-generation's launch in October 2006.
Corsa GSi customers have the choice of a three or five-door variant. Powered by the 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine, the new Corsa has a top speed of 210 km/h and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds. The Electric Power Steering (EPS) with variable progressive feedback curve and lowered sport chassis (front: 18 mm, rear: 15 mm) with ESP as standard ensure agile handling.
The Corsa GSi's styling is also subtly sporty, with exterior modifications such as a front spoiler lip, rear apron lip and spoiler, color-keyed side sills, chrome sport tailpipe and 17-inch alloy wheels. The interior's dynamic ambience is emphasized by the comfortable, charcoal/red upholstered sport seats with high side support, a leather steering wheel with red inserts, red safety belts and aluminum-style pedals.
LEGENDARY SRi BADGE RETURNS TO CORSA RANGE
* New performance version of award-winning Corsa
* Powered by new 150PS turbo 1.6-litre engine or 125PS 1.7 diesel
* Available with three or five doors, on sale in September
Hot on the heels of the Corsa VXR, Vauxhall has revealed that its legendary SRi badge is to return on another performance version of the new Corsa.
Set to reach showrooms in September as either a three-door or a five-door, the Corsa SRi is designed to appeal to buyers who don't need all the performance of the VXR but still appreciate style and sharp driving dynamics.
Petrol versions are powered by a new detuned 150PS version of the turbocharged engine found in Corsa VXR, taking the SRi from 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 130mph.
The power is kept in check by a specially developed sports chassis, lowered by 18mm at the front and 15mm at the rear and featuring ESP as standard. The power steering also features variable progressive feedback, meaning the weight of the steering adjusts electronically to keep the driver well informed at all times.
For those buyers wanting more economy a diesel will also be offered, using the 1.7-litre CDTi with 125PS. As you'd expect from a car wearing the SRi badge, it offers impressive performance, accelerating from 0-60mph in 9.3 seconds, going on to a top speed of 121 mph and yet achieves an average of 58.9 mpg.
Purposeful looks are provided by a front spoiler, deep body-coloured side sills, 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome sports exhaust pipe and subtle tailgate spoiler. Inside, red-detailed sports seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel with red inserts, alloy pedals and red seatbelts further set the performance tone.
Corsa SRi is available to order from 23 June, prices will be announced later this month and the first cars will arrive at retailers in September.

Preventing crime rather than waiting for a crime to be committed is appealing. Identify the guy who will commit a crime, and intervene. What could be more sensible? First though, how do you identify the incipient bad guys? Bumps on the skull were once thought by phrenologists to provide a major clue. The hypothesis fell on its sword because its predictive power could not climb above zero. Such predictive ambitions remain entirely alive, however, though importantly, the methods for identification have been upgraded. Advice: Don't bother looking at the skull. Look under it. At the brain itself. And also at the genes that make the brain.
In The Wall Street Journal, (Saturday/Sunday April 27-28 2013) psychiatrist/neuroscientist Adrian Raine posits a brain signature of the criminal mind. The suggestion is that there is a link between low levels of activity in the prefrontal regions of the brain and psychopathy. A second result involves not brain activity but brain structure: allegedly the size of the striatum is larger in criminals, on average. Raine also claims that genetics has begun to "pinpoint which specific genes promote [criminal] behavior".

Soknacki, who dropped out of the mayoral race last month, released documents he says shows 'without a doubt' that city rules were broken, and not just once
Last December, I bet somebody $10 that Soknacki would win election as mayor of Toronto. Was I drunk? Yes. Still, back then it seemed possible
The candidate known for his fiscally conservative policy said he made the 'tough decision' after it became clear he would not have a viable shot at winning
John Tory landed the most zingers and earned enthusiastic bouts of applause from a business-friendly crowd of 600 on Thursday that gathered to witness a feisty sparring match between mayoral contenders.
John Tory said he was proud of Chloe, a movie about infidelity, sex and desire, because it was the first he could remember that 'showed Toronto as Toronto'
The plan is also clearly aimed at shoring up left-leaning support for Ms. Chow, who has been slipping in poll popularity
The union says it is willing to look at shift changes, but called candidate David Soknacki's approach an 'oversimplification' and 'airy fairy'
The "early bird" proposal is meant to encourage commuters to change their travel patterns and to reduce rush hour congestion
Candidates were in fighting form and the format, which allowed for direct combat between rivals, led to jeers and cheers normally heard at a boxing match
In a campaign filled with stereotypes — Chow the leftie, John Tory the businessman, Ford the maverick — Soknacki's 'aw, shucks' demeanour has some appeal

Doc Rivers uses Tiger Woods in description of Celtics' play
Doc Rivers used Tiger Woods as an example when describing his Boston Celtics. And no, it had nothing to do with finishing with a 69. (ESPNBoston)
Rivers noted a conversation he had with a professional golfer (whom he wouldn't name) about the difference between this year's Celtics team and when Woods struggles on the links.
"[The golfer] said, 'The difference right now with you guys is that, when Tiger used to play with his C game, he still won — he was still the best. When you guys play with your C game, you lose now,'" relayed Rivers. "'Before you could win with your C game, now you can't.' That may be age, but understanding that, we're not going to win anything playing [below Boston's potential]."
So the 'C' game doesn't work, and the Washington loss showed that the 'F' game doesn't work either.
Would even the 'A' game be enough in the playoffs?

Peace Is Every Breath: A Practice for Our Busy Lives (Hardcover)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
In his travels around the country and the world, Zen master and international best selling author Thich Nhat Hanh witnessed a growing unhappiness among the many people he encountered. He saw the hectic pace of our day-to-day lives taking a toll on our health and well-being. In response, the renowned teacher sat down to write Peace Is Every Breath, a book that makes the core teachings of Buddha accessible for everyone. In this jewel of a book, Thich Nhat Hanh does not suggest that we escape from reality and put our busy lives on hold. Far from it. Instead, he provides the insight and tools we need to incorporate the practice of mindfulness into our every waking moment. Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how we can transcend the mad rush of our days and discover within the here and now our own innate ability to experience inner peace and happiness.
Offering personal anecdotes, meditations, and advice for mindfully connecting with our present experience, Thich Nhat Hanh guides us around potential pitfalls along the way. We do not need to escape reality to harness the joy and peace that is possible with every breath we takethe power of mindfulness can heal us from the suffering caused by the many stresses that surround us. Including original calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Breath is a timely book filled with timeless wisdom and practical advice that is destined to become a classic.
About the Author
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the author of many books, including the classics Peace Is Every Step and The Art of Power. Hanh lives in Plum Village, his meditation center in France, and leads retreats worldwide on the art of mindful living.

Well, both. Here's the scholarly literature on fantasy-football dude-bonding.
TO THE NAKED EYE, IT MAY APPEAR THAT: FX's comedy gem The League, whose fourth season premieres Thursday night, is about five guys and a girl who talk trash and compete in a fantasy football league.
BUT ACCORDING TO EXPERTS WHO THOUGHT REALLY HARD ABOUT THIS: The League is actually about five guys who reinforce hegemonic masculinity (y'know, the culturally normative ideal of male behavior) by talking trash and competing in a fantasy football league—and a girl who's expertly undermining it.
- At Its Core, the 'Twilight' Saga Is a Story About ________
- Time Travel in 'Looper': Dubious, but Not for the Reason You Think
- Maroon 5's Falsetto Singing: An Act of Cultural Defiance (?!)
It's estimated that some 27 million people play fantasy football in the United States, and in 2005, Donald P. Levy of the University of Connecticut found that 97.9 percent of fantasy sports enthusiasts were men. If there's any way to show statistically that a phenomenon is a so-called "guy thing," this is probably what it looks like. (Studies show that it's largely a white-guy, educated-guy, pretty-well-off-guy thing, too.)
Today, some male friendships live and die by fantasy football rules. This week, for example, an anxious commenter asked Deadspin columnist Drew Magary, "Is it possible to kick somebody out of your long-standing fantasy football league and still remain friends with them?" (Magary admitted the situation was delicate—and, probably, no.) The season-long phenomenon in which groups of friends form leagues online, simulate games, trade players, and sign free agents—and sometimes get really, really into it—has created a new model for male bonding since its rise to popularity in the late 1990s.
In writing their 2006 "pro-feminist" look at fantasy sports called "Sports Knowledge Is Power: Reinforcing Masculine Privilege Through Fantasy Sport League Participation," Nickolas W. Davis and Margaret Carlisle Duncan observed fantasy leagues and their behaviors and concluded that fantasy football leagues have even become a "separate space" for men to practice masculinity. They act as an "Old Boys Club," the authors say,
that allows men to communally meet, bond, and redefine what it is to be masculine. Within this space, men can act like men without fear of feminization. Although on a less extreme scale, fantasy sport leagues may be compared to such movements as the Promise Keepers and the mythopoetic men's movement, insofar as they allow men the opportunity to reconstruct hegemonic masculinity in a safe environment, free from feminine influence.
Fantasy football, according to Davis and Duncan, favors the development of traits often recognized as distinctly "masculine": authority, competition, and sports knowledge.
A man in charge of a fantasy football team, they write, may feel he can "symbolically manipulate the athletes who, in a sense, play for him. This sense of control, provided by fantasy sports, allows men to experience the social power that ... owners of professional sports teams possess on a daily basis." Competition, too, "fosters an ideology of male supremacy by allowing men to celebrate their masculinity through verbal acts of aggression, emphasizing power and strength," while "men's sports knowledge and successful moves with player acquisitions act as a source of pride and empowerment, which is communicated in an overtly aggressive, masculine way." In contrast, they add, "individuals who are less well informed are often openly ridiculed for poor draft, trade, and roster structuring decisions. ... Sports knowledge is also used against others who are not statistically knowledgeable, in an attempt to emasculate them by ridicule or taunts."
Duncan and Davis write that league message boards also play a significant role in the exchange of trash talk—a hallowed feature of fantasy football. "Textual analysis of the message board as well as observations also indicates competition as a mode of fortifying masculinity. In particular, the message board offers members the ability to trash talk with one another without having to be physically present," say Duncan and Davis. But those infamous online message boards apparently aren't just a platform for inter-player trolling: They're also, according to Davis and Duncan, breeding grounds for "crude, misogynistic, and heterosexist vernacular as a means of articulating supremacy." According to the authors:
One mode men use to heighten their masculinities is the use of demeaning language to establish their dominance over other participants. These participants do so by putting fellow fantasy leaguers down, referring to them as women, subordinating them and objectifying women in the process by calling these inferior participants pussies. This is often a systematic strategy of reinforcing hegemonic ideals.
The League riffs on the message-board element on a regular basis—only the members use a video-enhanced one. Behold, the awesome, demoralizing power of message-board trash talk (totally not suitable for work, of course):
AND... ANYTHING ELSE? Yup. It's partly for this reason, Davis and Duncan posit, that things can get weird when the idea of female fantasy players surfaces. Focus-group research showed that the introduction of women who were knowledgeable about sports and fantasy sports to the male-dominated world of fantasy football would "create uneasiness, challenging the male's masculinity and supremacy in sport."

text: By Bill O'Neil The battle over tougher abortion restrictions in Texas resumes Monday--with arguments set before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. For backers of the restrictions--including the Justice Foundation's Allen Parker--the requirements--which include doctors who perform the procedure to have admitting privledges at a nearby hospital--only make sense. "The abortion industry has fought every reasonable regulation that has ever been passed against it in one form or another" Parker told 550 KTSA News. However, critics insisted the law only puts undue barriers in front of a woman's right to choose the procedure. While she does feel that argument is on solid legal ground, Patricia Rodriguez with Planned Parenthood told 550 KTSA News she's not holding out much hope for action stemming from this hearing. "I'm ever hopeful--but I'm also realistic. The 5th Circuit has not sided with us before--and I doubt they'll side with us on this" Rodriguez said, adding the issue may ultimately have to go all the way to the United States Supreme Court before it can be finally resolved.

.- Several pro-life groups in Wichita have received death threats after last month's killing of abortionist George Tiller.
Operation Rescue says they have received various threats over the years, but that number has increased drastically since Tiller's shooting.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, told The Wichita Eagle that some of the threats have mentioned the pro-life prayer vigil and memorial scheduled for this each day this weekend. Off-duty officers have been hired to help with security at the weekend's events.
Of the messages received, some have threatened "vengeance" against the pro-life movement, while others specifically targeted Newman and his family.
Although leaders of the pro-life movement have spoken out against the shooting, some abortion supporters have accused the pro-life movement of encouraging the attack on Tiller, one of the few doctors in the country who provided late-term abortions.
Scott Roeder, 51, has been charged with first-degree murder in Tiller's death and was found to have ties to anti-government groups.
The Kansas Coalition for Life has also received a number of threats since the shooting, one of which was in the form of a text message saying, "One of you is going to die for what you did to Tiller."
Another group, Kansans for Life, told The Wichita Eagle that it has also received threats. Mary Wilkinson explained that she answered the phone, only to hear a loud, angry caller saying, "You've killed him. Now I hope somebody comes and kills you all."
The call led the group's state development director, David Gittrich, to report the threat to the police.
However, Wilkinson says she feels optimistic now.
"I think things are settling down now," she told The Wichita Eagle. "I just think the community needs some healing time."
CNA attempted to contact several Wichita-area pro-life groups but didn't receive responses.

I Muhammad Asim working in Search for Common Ground Pakistan Office have always longed for working for depressed people who if provided space, can prove to be catalyst for bringing change in society. I always long for peace and am against violence of all manifestations. Empowering the poor and bringing them into the social safety net is what I always long for. I hope our meager contribution to a noble cause although would not alleviate the sufferings of the people but surely would assist to reduce the grievances of the suffering lot. Women who are victimized around the world due to male chauvinism which is all pervasive should be empowerment. We have to raise our voices to address all kinds of violence either it is structural, physical, or cultural. To inflict violence against human beings is all bad. We should at least raise our voices to the extent that we may distinguish between the good and bad.
In my capacity I wish to work for all those who instead of being caught into the social safety net have been destined to the net of victimization. I wish peace for every living creature on earth.

Olympus promises to go after erring executives
Olympus Corp. vowed Wednesday to go after erring executives involved in an elaborate scheme to hide $1.5 billion of investment losses.
The Japanese camera and medical equipment maker said it will investigate some 70 people including former and current board members, auditors and other officials for their possible involvement in the deception that has become one of Japan's biggest corporate scandals.
President Shuichi Takayama bowed deeply in apology at a Tokyo hotel, a day after a third-party panel released the findings of an investigation that showed top executives who were "rotten to the core" had orchestrated the accounting cover-up spanning three decades.
The company said it hopes to avoid being booted off the Tokyo Stock Exchange by meeting the Dec. 14 deadline set by the bourse for reporting earnings, including its latest and revised reports going back five years.
Tokyo-based Olympus is also setting up panels of outsiders such as former judges and prosecutors to check on possibly faulty auditing, to reform management, and probe executive responsibility.
The company may target any wrongdoers in lawsuits, including possibly pursuing criminal charges, said Olympus official Nobuyuki Onishi.
The scandal burst into the spotlight after former Chief Executive Michael Woodford, a Briton, went public with his doubts about high fees for financial advice and expensive acquisitions. Woodford was fired in October.
Takayama said a decision on whether Woodford will return as head of the company will be decided at a shareholders' meeting, which will be held after the company releases its revised earnings. He did not give a date for the meeting.
"We do give some positive assessment to his action," he said.
Woodford has said he would like to see Olympus come clean, with him at the helm.
The independent panel found that as of 2003, Olympus had racked up 117.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating back to the 1990s.
A $687 million fee for financial advice and overvalued acquisitions of several companies had been part of the cover-up, which used overseas banks and several funds to keep the massive losses off the company's books.
"The management was rotten to the core and contaminated what was around it, creating in the worst sense a group mentality of the typical salarymen," the report said in a reference to Japan's culture of corporate loyalty.
It said it found no involvement of "anti-social groups," a euphemism for Japanese criminal gangs, as some news reports have speculated. The panel said it traced the money and the various funds used to cover up investment losses, and no underworld groups were involved.
Takayama said at least two former presidents knew about the scheme, Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and Masatoshi Kishimoto, but acknowledged more time was needed to get to the bottom of who was really responsible.
He said Olympus will beef up corporate governance and, after the investigation is over, will embark under a new board. He did not elaborate on who the new members might be, and said shareholders will decide.
"We hope to be reborn as a renewed Olympus," said Takayama.

However fancy you want a signature to look, it will probably contain the same information as a plain signature. That means you don't have to create a new fancy signature from scratch. You can use an existing signature as a starting point. What's more, if you like the look of some else's signature, you can ask them to send you their signature file so that you can copy the look.
In this case, we're using the Bobby Moore (Plain) signature as the starting point.

Risk Managers Turn up Volume on Cyber Security
Monday, March 17, 2014
Posted by Claire under Emerging Risks, Risk Management
1 Comment
Emerging risks that risk managers expect to have the greatest impact on business in the coming years could be on the cusp of a changing of the guard, according to an annual survey released by the Society of Actuaries.
It found that the risk of cyber attacks and rapidly changing regulations are of growing concern to risk managers around the world, and may be slowly replacing the risk of oil price shock and other economic risks which were of major concern just six years ago.
Some 47 percent of risk managers saw cyber security as a significant emerging risk in 2013, up seven points from 40 percent in 2012.
The SOA noted that this perceived risk predates recent cyber security events (read: the December 2013 Target breach) that have opened up new corporate data security vulnerabilities. The online survey of 223 risk managers was conducted in October 2013.
Regulatory framework/liability regimes was also perceived to be an emerging risk of impact by 23 percent of risk managers, an increase of 15 points from just eight percent in 2012.
The survey noted that as the regulatory framework takes shape post-financial crisis, risk managers are currently trying to implement voluminous and changing regulations on short time frames with: limited additions to staff; and regulators who often have limited understanding of risk tools.
Just 33 percent of risk managers said economic risks – such as oil price shock, devaluing of the U.S. dollar, and financial volatility – will have the greatest impact over the next few years, versus an all-time high of 47 percent in 2009.
In fact, the economic risk category is at an all-time low in 2013, the SOA said.
Hat tip to The Wall Street Journal's CFO Report which reported on the survey here.

THURSDAY'S Roll Call, Feb. 14
1 Attachment(s)
Wishing all of you a wonderful day, no matter what you do or don't do ;)
Happy Valentine's Day to the gang here.
We probably go out to eat or get take out(I like that better).
My parents met on this day many, many years ago. (my step day since I was 3 or 4 yrs old). Sure do miss them and but wondering if too much.
We alone types just consider it another day- I did not even put out the cute sale stuff from last year that I picked up. Course- I do see chocolate being picked up today or tomorrow when the price plummets.
Hair and library day today so best et a crackin.
Happy Valentine's Day to all...alone or not I think you are all SWEETHEARTS
Been a busy week. Maggie started a new school this week. An opening for a waiting list kid came up and DD felt it was a good thing for her to change. She will have to go to this school next year and the church school was costing an arm and a leg that DD could use elsewhere. This is a public school. She was worn out on her first day. Went to bed at 7:30. I've been joining her for lunch so she will see a familiar face. The teacher encouraged that for the first few days...so I get public school lunches. yuck. But it's ok. She seems to love it. Quite an adjustment, though.
I'll catch up with the posts later today.
Hugs to you all,
Happy Valentine's Day to all.
Nothing special planned here, but like Gladys, hoping for take out.:D
Wishing a good day for ALL of you, or us here, friends for a long time, when you think of it.........:heart:
We are having pulled pork that I bought at Costco, need to stay in today anyway, medical reasons.
Take care. :love:
Happy Valentine's Day to all-
One of Bob's band members sent us a dinner for two - lobster pot pie, crab with 4 cheeses and chocolate "sin" cake. What a treat! I'll still have to cook it, but no prep involved. Yippee!
Bob has a bone marrow test tomorrow, checking for multiple myeloma. If he does have it, I'm just hoping that the chemo for the colon cancer can do double duty.
Reading and knitting and doing laundry today.
Have a lovely day everyone.
Louise, I'm so glad you and Bob will have a wonderful meal treat on Valentine's Day, together! Wishing Bob's test tomorrow to go smoothly and not waiting around, hugs to you both. Frustrating time, sorry you guys need to go through all of it, but stick together and help each other through it is all I can say. Is there anyone medically that lets you just "talk"?? That can be helpful, dh and I are still doing that now, in fact. :console:
Hey y'all...Happy Valentine's Day and best wishes for all. Reminded of Valentines past...in Japan, the women give the men chocolate. My tech's were surprised when they came in an found chocolate hearts on their stations....I never did tell them from whence came the chocolate.
I'm not getting "woozy" anymore from the new glasses and I can tell my vision is better. But the left eye is the dominant one and is clearer so the new prescription is working there...the right eye is still a bit fuzzy, but clearer but I still think it made further changes after the checkup...sigh! See what the doc says next week.
I may attempt the drive through the canyon to go to the casino...the poker tables are calling and the slots, oh my!
Have a great day folks and enjoy your valentine...
Well it's sunny and warm here in San Diego. We are waiting for the shuttle to the zoo.
Louise, I hope you and Bob have the very best ever Valentine's day.
Louise, how nice of the band member. I know you two will enjoy it. Here's thinking of you and Bob tomorrow. :hugs:
A rainy, coolish day here, thanks Gladys, we sure do need it. The "valentine" golfers aren't very happy, but even they agree we need it.
We're going to a Valentine Dance at our Clubhouse. No food, bring your own drinks and snacks. We'll have a frozen dinner before we go. We go out to eat enough without adding tonight on there.
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. :heart::heart::heart:
:heart::heart::heart:HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ALL:heart::heart::heart:
Too bad the smilies don't have any flowers.:love::love::love:
Wishing All a pleasant day.
I just got up about 20 min ago. I am sleeping more and more, it seems. And after I get up, I fall asleep in the chair. I've been telling my family that I think I have mono.
Louise, I have you and Bob in my thoughts frequently. How are your pets doing? That was very nice of Bob's band member to send you those dinners.
Mary, what good news that you are adjusting to your new glasses.
I don't post often because it requires more breathing than I'm capable of. I don't think the nebulizer is helping.
Happy Valentine's Day! With Rich's help, I'm making dinner today --- a pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravey. And smashed and brown sugared sweet potatoes and frozen baby peas. Maybe a salad if Cathy feels like making one. Sounds like too much food. Yesterday I was so hungry and when the pizza and wings got here, I couldn't eat at all.
I'm about to fall asleep and need to get to my chair. Have a good day, no matter what you are doing. Read a good book, have a glass of wine or light a candle --- whatever you like.
Hi everyone.....happy valentine's day from me, too. Somehow, after the first few years, we never really celebrated except for a card to me. It was valentine's day for us every day.
Louise, I am thinking of you and your dh every day. Please remember that, as everyone else on here, we are wishing you both the very best results. Enjoy the wonderful meal the band mate sent!
That's all I've got right now!
:heart: to all of my low carb friends. :love: Hope your having a great day.
John has gone on a cattle drive today, taking his cows to market. His son is with him for a few days. We had a nice celebration the other day.
We have a beautiful day with tons of sunshine and warmer temps.
Enjoy your day folks how ever it works out for you.
DS text to say he is loving :heart: it in New York.
I took him to the airport this morning. He was there by early afternoon as his flight from here was at 11am
He will be back home on Sunday evening and then off to Florida for 3 weeks vacation on the Wednesday. I have butterflies (for nothing) just thinking about being alone. I know it is coming and I just have to get used to it.
Loretta, sounds like you have a great cowboy there. :up: Hope the cattle drive goes smoothly for John and his son. Visions of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood...:love:;)
Yes, it is a bitter sweet day for a few of us. Memories are always good huh? :love::heart:
Have a pleasant evening All. I am off to babysit DGD while they go out for a romantic dinner. Wish me luck driving home in the dark.:dunno:
Hi Everybody,
Just getting home and wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. It was a hectic day today and way too many sweets at work - I must have had 3 or 4 cookies and a small handful of chocolate covered peanuts.
Oh well...
Sweet dreams,
Don't worry, Michele, it will all come out in the "wash", so to speak, and back to the usual droning for most of us tomorrow. ;)
Some of the ice is finally melting, hard to believe you can walk without special shoes/boots on.
Not enough time to get alot done today, don't know where the time goes, but there is less and less every day to get chores done.
Stay safe, if you are out and about, and allow yourself to enjoy something.
