SRAMForce 22 Front Derailleur
Item # SRM0522Item # SRM0522
Yaw moves to Force.
One of the standout components that makes Force 22's drivetrain so intuitive is the front derailleur. The new groupset is dubbed 'True 22' as that's exactly how many useable and trim-free gears you receive with the new groupset. Force has now carried over many of the same innovative technology features of SRAM's top-end Red 22 group, but with an alternate graphic treatment and more manageable price tag.
The Force 22 Front Derailleur brings Red's innovative Yaw design to the 'True 22' system, calibrated to provide you with every gear combination possible -- without any chain rub and no trim necessary across all 22 gears. By borrowing from the principles of an aircraft's rotational movements across a single axis, yaw dictates fore and aft lateral movement, pitch is the opposing vertical movement, and roll is the definitive vertical lean, from one side of the axis to the other. Rather than simply moving back and forth across the singular plane like that of a conventional derailleur, the new Force Derailleur is designed to rotate—like an airplane—along its axis in conjunction with your shifts, preserving an optimal angular alignment with the chain at all times, no matter your gear combination. Because of this, the new SRAM Force 22 Derailleur has done away with the concept of front derailleur trim. This is a revolutionary design that actively maintains perfect chain alignment while still providing the crisp and punchy actuation that SRAM riders have grown accustomed to.
In the past, SRAM saw some of its sponsored riders using the original Force Front Derailleur with its stiffer and slightly heavier steel cage, which inspired better front shifting confidence under load. So for the new Force 22, SRAM has maintained that hybrid aluminum cage to preserve the gruppo's weight savings, but has added steel to the alloy blend to provide stiffer, more confident shifts. And as an added precaution, the included Chain Spotter can be elegantly mounted to the derailleur body without any detriment to weight or shifting precision, but the derailleur will function normally without it. Today, a chain keeper is the quintessential illustration of the old adage, 'better to have one and not need it, than need one and not have it.' It adjusts independently of the derailleur, so you'll only know it's there when summoned by a rough patch of road or possible errant shift.
The SRAM Force 22 Yaw Front Derailleur gets a cosmetic upgrade, complete with new laser-etched graphics and installation markers, and it is available in a brushed finish. Please note: Due to the redesigned pivots and change in cable pull, this derailleur is not compatible with previous generation SRAM Force Shifters. Also, the Force 22's profile is slightly narrower than the 10-speed version, meaning that it's optimized for use with SRAM X Glide R Chainrings and the complete Force 22 system. It is available in braze-on style.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Sram's Force group is awesome. The quality is great. Group isn't much heavier than Red, so why spend the extra money. Great feel to the shifting.
I am a little confused. In the last paragraph it says that "due to a redesign, the FD is NOT compatible with previous generation SRAM shifters yet in the comment section it seems that people are using it with those previous generation shifters.
The best thing I can share with you is go to SRAMs web site go to the dérailleur your looking for click on it. There should be a spec sheet and a PDFs file that talks about compatibility.Here you should find the info you need straight from the pros that know. Scroll down till you get to the part that says Service click on compatibility .
I'm using it with SRAM 10 speed and it works great, although I find it works _much_ better if you use an 11 speed chain.
SRAM Force 22 Front derailleur/with YAW
This was a great addition to my Cannondale Supersix . I replaced this when I replaced my crankset/both SRAM Force 22. The shifting is dead on,no rub and no rasp love it. The set up works great with the SRAM Appex components that came with the bike originally.Great shifting and have had no problems. I just had to replace the mounting clamp since mine was not a braze on.
Could I use this with rotor cranks and Qrings, or does Yaw technology needs SRAM cranks?
This will work about as well as any derailleur with the Q-rings, but that's marginal at best. Shifting on Q-rings isn't very good with any derailleur.
True 22
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just bought this with a new build and am still breaking it in a little bit. My initial impressions after the first 300 miles are:
1) Shifts under power. I have had the ability to shift on climbs which has been a nice addition.
2) I can actually use the full set of 22 gears with no rub on the derailleur. I do get a bit of noise out of the chain, but not the derailleurs fault.
3) I have dropped the chain once (off the big ring); I am hoping that was a fluke though.
Great Derailuer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Using this with a Rotor Q-ring setup and the shifting is spot on. No need for trim and it provides very reliable shifting in any gear combination.
Great upgrade
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Much better than previous versions of SRAM front derailleurs, solves all the problems, easy to set up (see Youtube for video instructions)
Compatible with 10 speed
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have this set up with my 10 speed Rival shifters and Force crankset. No chainrub and great shifting. Far better than the usual SRAM shifting.
Agree this is 100% compatible. I'm using with 10-speed Force shifters and Red compact crankset. This is a great upgrade, quiet, smooth, light, positive shifting. Chain spotter eliminates chain drop, which was a problem with the old Force derailleur. Less than half the cost of the Red version, only 10 g heavier. Highly recommended.

The Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics and Public Policy at the Bush School, Texas A&M University, will honor Joseph M. DePinto, president and CEO of 7-Eleven, Inc., with the 2012 McLane Leadership in Business Award on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The event will be held at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center, located in the George Bush Presidential Library Complex, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Established by Drayton McLane, Jr., a noted entrepreneur and chairman of the McLane Group, a high technology firm, the McLane Leadership in Business Award annually recognizes a prominent individual in the field of business for outstanding contributions in the area of business, public service, or community service at the national level. The award highlights different roles that business plays in maintaining the economic, political, and social vitality of our nation.
The 7-Eleven company is the leader in convenience retailing. Globally, there are approximately 47,600 7-Eleven stores, 9,400 of which are in North America. Under DePinto's leadership, 7-Eleven has grown dramatically from an organization that began as an ice house in Dallas, Texas, in 1927.
Before being appointed chief executive of 7-Eleven, Inc., in 2005, DePinto was president of GameStop Corporation. He also has held executive positions at PepsiCo, Inc., and Thornton Oil Corporation. In 2010, DePinto was a favorite on CBS's hit show Undercover Boss.
DePinto serves on a number of corporate and nonprofit boards of directors: 7-Eleven, Brinker International, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, Business Executives for National Security, SMU's Cox School of Business, Lone Star Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Command and General Staff College Foundation, and the National Italian American Foundation. He also is a member of the advisory councils for Outlook Leadership, the Pro Players Foundation, the Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth, and is a Network of Executive Women Champion.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, DePinto earned a bachelor's degree in engineering management from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a master of business administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He and his wife, Ingrid, and their four sons reside in Southlake, Texas.
The Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics and Public Policy at the Bush School of Government and Public Service was founded in October 2009 to produce policy-oriented research in trade, energy, and good governance.

With preseason in the books it's time to talk about the critical rule change of 2015. I am of course talking about allowing linebackers to wear numbers in the 40s. I wanted to give it some time and not rush to judgement since, as an old person, I hate change in any form. I have finally gotten to the point that I accept wide receivers wearing numbers in the teens (as long as they came into the league after the rule change. Editorial note - Reggie Wayne you look ridiculous in #15, like a 50 year old wearing a sideways hat trying to look like a teenager).
To make a fully informed decision, I charted and graded every single play by linebackers in every preseason game (<- I didn't do that). I finally had to break the 40's down into 4 separate groups:
-I have decided that I'm ok with linebackers wearing 46-49. Those are tight end numbers and linebackers are to defensive linemen as tight ends are to offensive linemen. Plus most long snappers wear those numbers and while they may just be ornamental o-linemen, they are o-lineman. I once saw a long snapper block someone.
-I will grudgingly accept linebackers wearing 44 and 45. 44 is a fullback number, even better than a tight end (in this vein, I would be fine with a special exemption for 1 or 2 linebackers to wear #32. see Curtis, Mike). 45 is an Archie Griffin number. No bias, despite being from Ohio I'm not really an OSU fan and not necessarily a huge Archie Griffin fan. He's just the only guy I can ever think of when I see #45. And let's be honest, he won 2 Heismans 40 years ago, he owns that number for at least another 10-12 years.
-41 to 43 are safety numbers. A linebacker cannot under any circumstances wear these numbers. You're telling the league that you're a runner not a hitter and that if you're in a collision of any kind you will curl up in the fetal position (and most likely shed a tear).
-40 is the number of a 38-year old relief pitcher with a 6.57 era and 3 ex-wives. If Dick Butkus himself told me that he wanted to wear #40 I would cut him on the spot (plus he's about 80 years old).

I recently visited London and Paris long enough to get a sense of what cycling is like there. In a word — sucky. But where is cycling pleasant in any big city?
I give the edge to London for accommodating cycling, as well as the number of cyclists. I didn't see many cyclists on the busy Paris streets, although I saw quite a few in London, despite the traffic.
Paris had its share of women riders, strictly for getting around. London women seemed to be more committed based on the gear they were wearing.
Both cities offer bikes for rent, but London seems to have more bikes available, and they do get rented. I stayed near a London university and on weekdays most of the bikes were taken during the day.
I didn't see any bike lanes in Paris, but I mostly visited the congested tourist areas. I stayed in Camden London where there's a substantial residential contingent and bike lanes can be found.
London cyclists have access to local trains on the weekend and quite a few trains had riders heading out for a weekend tour southwest of London on the South West line. Designated cars can take a couple of bikes each, typically near the bathroom. Bikes on the subway? Laughable! Way too crowded.
From what I saw, there's a fair amount of cycling activity around Portsmouth near the English Channel. Bike rental companies will be found here next to train stations. I visited the area around Wool west of Portsmouth and found some charming country roads.
It's gently rolling hills at best, no steep stuff. If you like greenery, the rides here can't be beat in summer months. This area is usually foggy but when I visited we had sunshine and puffy clouds, perfect riding weather.
Given the choice, I would take San Francisco over London or Paris any day. From San Francisco you're minutes away from some world-class roads that beg to be ridden. You can even take BART. Around Paris and London you're stuck with miles and miles of flat land and suburbs. Consider yourself lucky if you live in SF.

So here we go again. After they removed half my pelvis and rooted around in there amputating my leg and shifting around muscle, my nerve pain went through the roof.
I was on Buprenorphine, Fentanyl, etc, etc. I'd settle on a dose and a little bit later there was the pain again at the same intensity. It's like my pain "reset" even though I had more and more drugs in my system. Finally, after dealing with the detox of various meds I found relief with Methadone (10mg BID) plus Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) (300mg BID). That gave me enough relief to actually start functioning again and pulled me out of the depression that was leading me to want to kill myself from the pain.
Now the pain's coming back, day 5 now of increased intensity. I really don't want to increase my dosages anymore, and realistically I'm on pretty low doses, I just hate these side effects and doping myself up every damn day.
This pain is a goddamn curse.

In the same way that Canadian news reporting does not reflect Canada's multiculturalism, racial diversity 'behind the scenes' of news media is similarly disproportionate. In 2006, fewer than 6 per cent of CBC employees were visible minorities. [1] A 2000 study from the University of Laval suggests that more than 97 per cent of Canadian journalists are White. [2]
First of all, you can't choose to give up privilege – privilege is by definition an unearned advantage and you cannot choose to not have it. Guilt and shame are not, however, productive ways to deal with this.
Sports media also contribute to the construction of masculinity in contemporary society.
In its study of masculinity and sports media, the research group Children Now found that most commercials directed to male viewers tend to air during sports programming. Women rarely appear in these commercials, and when they do, they're generally portrayed in stereotypical ways.
Women professionals and athletes continue to be under-represented in news coverage, and are often stereotypically portrayed when they are included.
No one would deny that the mass media is big business. According to the American Motion Picture Association, Hollywood films alone pulled in $10 billion in 2011, and that doesn't include the renting and selling of DVDs. [1] However, media executives argue that the economics of the industry make it impossible to avoid stereotypes of women.
Early in the history of Canadian television, when southern television began to bombard the airwaves in northern communities, Canada's Aboriginal people made the connection between cultural survival and the ownership and control of media.
Anti-Semitism is experiencing a modern revival in popular media, not only in Canada but worldwide. While Canada, with the fourth largest Jewish population in the world, is not among the nations where anti-Semitism has increased most dramatically, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has nonetheless acknowledged violence against Jewish people as a significant problem in this country [1]. Awareness of media stereotypes and misrepresentations faced by the Jewish community is fundamental in countering this anti-Semitist resurgence with tolerance and acceptance.
Media coverage of Islam-related issues has changed dramatically since the beginning of the new millennium, both in quantity and quality. The events of September 11, 2001, thrust Islam into the global media forefront: not only did coverage of Islam drastically increase, particularly in news and entertainment media, but the way in which Islam was framed by the media changed as well.
Generations of North American children have grown up watching "cowboys and Indians" films and TV shows and reading books such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Little House on the Prairie. Popular films and novels reinforced the notion that Aboriginal people existed only in the past—forever chasing buffalo or being chased by the cavalry. These images showed them as destined to remain on the margins of "real" society. Such impressions and childhood beliefs, set at an early age, are often the hardest to shake.

"Movie Night at Fenway Park presented by Mitsubishi Electric" features "The Sandlot" Wednesday, August 21
Red Sox to welcome families while team is on the road; Popular baseball movie celebrates its 20th anniversary
"The Sandlot," the popular movie about the neighborhood baseball adventures of Scotty Smalls in 1962 Los Angeles, will be featured on the Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision® center field videoboard at Fenway Park, Wednesday evening, August 21.
"Movie Night at Fenway Park Presented by Mitsubishi Electric" is free for Red Sox Season Ticket Holders and members of Red Sox Kid Nation. Tickets will be distributed to members.
General admission tickets for the public, priced at $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under, are on sale now. They can be purchased at redsox.com/sandlot, by calling (877) REDSOX-9, or by visiting the Fenway Park ticket office. Fans with disabilities can call (877) REDSOX-9 to purchase accessible seating. The Red Sox' TTY number for hearing-impaired fans is (617) 226-6644.

The movie, in which James Earl Jones stars as Mr. Mertle, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its 1993 release. It is among the most popular of all baseball movies for children and young adults. In a recent televised poll conducted by NESN, The Sandlot was voted best baseball movie. It was also the movie watched by Red Sox players during a 3 hour rain delay in May while on the road playing the Minnesota Twins.
"This gesture is designed to show appreciation to our season ticket holders and to ensure that the children of Red Sox Nation are able to experience Fenway Park in new and different ways," said Red Sox Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Sam Kennedy. "As a parent of young children, I am excited to think that families can enjoy an evening together at Fenway Park, even when the team is on the road, and watch a movie that is a favorite of so many. We thank Mitsubishi Electric, who manufactured our outstanding Diamond Vision high-definition screen, for their partnership, and for helping to make this evening happen."

Addressing the Procedural Stages of Computer Crime in an Organisational ContextWillison, Robert (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: IS security represents a growing concern for organisations. Although hackers and viruses are often the basis of such concerns, the inside threat of employee computer crime should not be underestimated. From an academic perspective, there are a modest but growing number of texts which examine the 'insider' problem. While attention has been given to the influence on offender actions through deterrent safeguards, there has been a lack of insight into the interactive relationship between offender choices made during the actual perpetration of computer crimes, and the context in which such crimes take place. Knowledge of this relationship would be of obvious interest to practitioners who would aim to manipulate the environment and influence offender choices accordingly. To address this oversight, this paper, therefore, advances two criminological theories which it is argued can be used to examine the stages an offender must go through in order for a crime to be committed i.e. the 'procedural stages' of computer crime. Hence, this paper illustrates how the two theories, entitled the rational choice perspective and situational crime prevention, can be applied to the IS domain, thereby offering a theoretical basis on which to analyse offender choices/behaviour during perpetration. Through such an analysis greater insights may be offered into selecting appropriate safeguards to prevent computer crime. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6462

Willison, Robert; Siponen, Mikko (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper reviews the IS security literature for the period 1990-2004. More specifically three security journals and the top twenty IS journals were examined. In total 1280 papers were analysed in terms of theories, research methods and research topics. Our research found that 1043 of the papers contained no theory. In addition, almost 1000 of the papers were categorized as 'subjective-argumentative' in terms of methodology, with field experiments, surveys, case studies and action research accounting for less that 10% (8.10%) of all the papers. Fifty nine research topics were identified with fourteen of these topics totaling 71.05% of the articles. This papers offers implications for future research directions on IS security, scholars to publish IS security research, tenure practice, and IS security classification schemas.

Understanding and Addressing Workplace Disgruntlement through the Application of Organisational JusticeWillison, Robert (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Within the IS security field, employee computer crime has received increased attention. Indeed, a number of researchers have focused their attention on the behaviour of the 'insider', both prior to and during the perpetration. Despite this, there is currently an absence of academic insight into the problem of workplace disgruntlement and how this may motivate employee computer crime. To address this deficiency, this paper draws on a body of knowledge called 'organisational justice', which examines how perceptions of fairness are formed. Under this umbrella term are four constructs which relate to different organisational phenomena and influence employees' fairness perceptions. It is believed that these constructs, entitled distributive, procedural, interactional and informational justice, and the theories which underpin them, can not only assist in understanding, but also in mitigating disgruntlement. To illustrate this, a case of employee computer sabotage is analysed, highlighting which forms of organisational justice occurred, and how they could have been addressed. The discussion section notes how mitigating disgruntlement provides a new area for safeguard implementation, with the final part of the paper discussing the conclusions and potential for future research.

Considering systems risk from the offender's perspectiveWillison, Robert; Backhouse, James (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Systems risk refers to the likelihood that an IS is inadequately guarded against certain types of damage or loss. While risks are posed by acts of God, hackers and viruses, consideration should also be given to the 'insider' threat of dishonest employees, intent on undertaking some form of computer abuse. Against this backdrop, a number of researchers have addressed the extent to which security managers are cognizant of the very nature of systems risk. In particular, they note how security practitioners' knowledge of local threats, which form part of such risk, is often fragmented. This contributes to situations where risk reducing efforts are often less than effective. Security efforts are further complicated given that the task of managing systems risk requires input from a number of departments including, for example, HR, compliance, IS/IT and physical security. In a bid to complement existing research, but also offer a fresh perspective, this paper addresses systems risk from the offender's perspective. If systems risk entails the likelihood that an IS is inadequately protected, this text considers those conditions, within the organisational context, which offer a criminal opportunity for the offender. To achieve this goal a model known as the 'Crime Specific Opportunity Structure' is advanced. Focussing on the opportunities for computer abuse, the model addresses the nature of such opportunities with regards to the organisational context and the threats posed by rogue employees. Drawing on a number of criminological theories, it is believed the model may help inform managers about local threats and, by so doing, enhance safeguard implementation.

reducing employee computer crime through Situational Crime PreventionWillison, Robert; Siponen, Mikko (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Employee computer crime represents a substantial threat for organisations. Yet information security researchers and practitioners currently lack a clear understanding of how these crimes are perpetrated, which, as a consequence, hinders security efforts. We argue that recent developments in criminology can assist in addressing the insider threat. More specifically, we demonstrate how an approach, entitled Situational Crime Prevention, can not only enhance an understanding of employee computer crime, but also strengthen security practices which are designed to address this problem.

Abstract: There is currently a paucity of literature focusing on the relationship between the actions of staff members, who perpetrate some form of computer abuse, and the organisational environment in which such actions take place. A greater understanding of such a relationship may complement existing security practices by possibly highlighting new areas for safeguard implementation. To help facilitate a greater understanding of the offender/environment dynamic, this paper assesses the feasibility of applying criminological theory to the IS security context. More specifically, three theories are advanced, which focus on the offender's behaviour in a criminal setting. Drawing on an account of the Barings Bank collapse, events highlighted in the case study are used to assess whether concepts central to the theories are supported by the data. It is noted that while one of the theories is to be found wanting in terms of conceptual sophistication, the case can be made for the further exploration of applying all three in the IS security context.

Abstract: While hackers and viruses fuel the IS security concerns for organisations, the problems posed by employee computer crime should not be underestimated. Indeed, a growing number of IS security researchers have turned their attention to the 'insider' threat. However, to date, there has been a lack of insight into the relationship between the actual behaviour of offenders during the perpetration of computer crime, and the organisational context in which the behaviour takes place. To address this deficiency, this paper advances two criminological theories, which it is argued can be used to examine the stages an offender must go through in order for a crime to be committed. In addition, this paper illustrates how the two theories, entitled the Rational Choice Perspective and Situational Crime Prevention, can be applied to the IS domain, thereby offering a theoretical basis on which to analyse the offender/context relationship during the perpetration of computer crime. By so doing, practitioners may use these insights to inform and enhance the selection of safeguards in a bid to improve prevention programmes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6463

President, Congress meet to avert "fiscal cliff"
President Obama met with House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Friday morning to discuss how to avert the "fiscal cliff," the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts set to start kicking in at the end of the year.
It was the president's first meeting with Congressional leaders on the issue since his reelection, and follows presidential sit-downs earlier this week with corporate leaders and left-leaning interest groups seeking to shape the discussion.
"Today, the President met with the bipartisan, bicameral leadership of Congress at the White House for over an hour," the White House said in a statement. "The President and the leadership had a constructive meeting and agreed to do everything possible to find a solution that averts the so-called 'fiscal cliff,' and to work together to find a balanced approach to reduce our deficit that includes both revenues and cuts in spending and encourages our long-term economic and job growth. Both sides agreed that while there may be differences in our preferred approaches, we will continue a constructive process to find a solution and come to a conclusion as soon as possible."
Congressional leaders described the meetings positively as well, with Boehner calling it "very constructive." An aide to the House GOP leader told CBS News that "the Speaker said he believes 2013 should be the year we begin to solve our debt problem through tax reform and entitlement reform, and proposed that both parties work together to avert the fiscal cliff together in a manner that ensures 2013 is that year. He proposed that both parties commit to working toward a framework for tax and entitlement reform in 2013 that sets revenue and spending levels."
Reid, meanwhile, said "We have the cornerstones of being able to work something out. We're both going to have to give up some of the things that we know are a problem."
Mr. Obama appeared to be in good spirits prior to the meeting, publicly congratulating Boehner on the fact that tomorrow is his birthday. ("We're not going to embarrass him with a cake," the president joked, "because we didn't know how many candles were needed.") But no amount of good cheer will make it easier for the two men to bridge their considerable differences without angering elements of their own party and base before the Dec. 31 deadline.
The most glaring difference involves allowing the Bush-era tax cuts expire on family income above $250,000, which would raise rates above that level from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. Mr. Obama campaigned on allowing those cuts to expire for the highest-earners, and he stressed the issue in a news conference Wednesday. He has called on Congress to immediately pass legislation to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the 98 percent of Americans who make below that threshold. Without action, tax rates will increase for nearly all households at the end of the year. White House press secretary Jay Carney said this week that the president "will not sign, under any circumstances, an extension of tax cuts for the top 2 percent of American earners." Mr. Obama's opening salvo was to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations by $1.6 trillion in conjunction with unspecified spending cuts.
Republicans are also publicly standing by their position, though there have been some cracks in the united front. "What we won't do is raise tax rates," McConnell said Thursday. Boehner has offered a conciliatory tone and said he is open to revenue increases, but argues that they should come from reforms to the tax code such as closing loopholes - the same position he held before the election. He says that raising rates on the wealthiest Americans would hurt small business and cause harm to the economy, a contention that is up for debate. Republicans are seeking major changes to entitlement programs, which they consider the chief driver of the deficit and debt.
Yet Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-Va., and former Gov. Haley Barbour, R-Miss., said this week that Republicans need to be open to raising tax rates on the wealthy in the wake of an election in which the "people have spoken," in McDonnell's words. Another influential Republican, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, said last Sunday that "It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires."
Despite an election that returned Mr. Obama to the Oval Office and kept the general makeup of Congress unchanged, the contours of the discussion have changed since Democrats and Republicans failed to come to a "grand bargain" to reduce the deficit one year ago. Part of that is due to the fact that Mr. Obama was reelected while Democrats made gains in the House and Senate, giving the party more leverage. And part of it has to do with a decision by House Republicans that they may now regret.
Back in 2011, House Republicans would only agree to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a deal to significantly reduce the deficit. So the parties agreed to set up a bipartisan "supercommittee" to find $1.2 trillion in savings. And they passed a law mandating that if the supercommittee failed, automatic spending cuts would kick in at the end of the year. The supercommittee did indeed fail, which is what led to the spending cuts portion of the "fiscal cliff": A requirement for $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over a decade through indiscriminate cuts to most defense and non-defense domestic programs, including about $110 billion in cuts in 2013.
The tax hikes, to the tune of about $500 billion in 2013, would result from the expiration of the Bush-era income tax cuts and the end of the payroll tax holiday that began in 2011, among many other factors.
Going off the cliff would affect nearly 90 percent of taxpayers, and many economists as well as the Congressional Budget Office say doing so would tip the economy into recession. From a purely political perspective, however, the consequences may be worse for Republicans. A Pew Research Center poll this week found that 53 percent of Americans would blame Republicans in Congress if no deal is struck, while 29 percent would blame the president.
Democrats say they will not make a deal if Republicans won't reverse their opposition to raising tax rates on the wealthy, in part because going over the fiscal cliff strengthens their negotiating position. Incoming Senate Budget Committee chair Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told NPR Friday that while no one wants to see taxes go up on most Americans, she is not willing to make a deal that would hurt middle-class families.
"If the Republicans say, no, we're going to put a little line in the sand and say the wealthiest Americans don't have to pay any increased revenue or be a part of the solution, then we will go past the December 31st deadline and begin over next year with addressing this challenge," she said. "And any package that we put out there will be a tax cut, and I think Republicans will find themselves in a real box."
That's an important point: If and when taxes go up at the start of 2013, Democrats will be in a position to put forth a tax cut for 98 percent of Americans - and Republicans will face the prospect of opposing a major tax cut if they refuse the deal. Democrats believe that reality gives them significant leverage in the negotiations.
But going over the cliff carries political risks for Democrats too. While the tax cuts would be implemented gradually, not all at once at the start of the year - the "cliff" metaphor is somewhat misleading - a failure to reach a deal could spook the financial markets and have negative consequences for the U.S. credit rating, with unpredictable fallout. Right now the GOP is largely seen as the problem, but that could change depending on the contours of the negotiation. Democrats could suffer long-term harm if the economy takes a negative turn shortly after a Democratic president was reelected. And many on the left will be angered if the president allows cuts to favored domestic programs.
There is no shortage of options for lawmakers as they seek a way forward. They could pass a grand bargain that would both avert the cliff and include major entitlement reform, changes to the tax code, and even an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, which will soon again need to be addressed. That's a challenge in a lame-duck Congress, however, and it is more likely that they will pass a law to avert the cliff for a month or two while they try to work out some sort of deal. White House officials are reportedly in discussions to replace the looming indiscriminate spending cuts and tax hikes with more targeted cuts and tax increases that would not have the same negative impact on the economy.
According to a Boehner aide, the House speaker told the president Friday that tax and entitlement reform is too complex to complete this year. Boehner's goal in the coming weeks, he told the president, is to decide upon long-term revenue targets for tax reform and targets for entitlement savings.
"Once we settle on those targets, the Speaker proposed, we can create simple mechanisms, in statute, that would achieve those revenue and spending goals," the aide said. "They would be in place unless or until more thoughtful policies replace them."

In the Decision rendered by Judge Platkin of Albany Supreme Court of New York against the Maetreum of Cybele some absolutely astounding logic was used in the ruling.
Apparently, and actually against established caselaw, providing "affordable housing" for women who probably otherwise be homeless or escaping abusive living situations is not charitable. Let's look at that because in direct sworn testimony no fewer than three priestesses of the Maetreum told the court, verified by the introduction of our "housing contract" into evidence, that we do not charge individuals we house on an emergency basis at all and never ask them for money. Now that's "affordable" isn't it? Further, that anyone not housed on an emergency basis has signed an agreement stating their reason for living at the Maetreum is spiritual seeking in nature and that they have discussed those motives with one of the priestesses. In other words, clearly charitable works aren't charity… that a written statement of spiritual intent is not religious.
Another point was that only a minimal part of the property is "dedicated exclusively to religious services". Part is used to further the exempt activities of charitable housing of women in need, part is used to further educational work, specifically towards the Herstory of women and furtherance of the rights of women which happens to be part of our religious mission and also part of the exempt uses of a property under the section of New York law dealing with religious property tax exemption. And actually, once again in both sworn uncontested testimony during the trial, it was made clear that other than the rooms specifically used as bedrooms, the entire property is used in furtherance of our religious mission at all times.
Although no legal standard in New York, as far as my own research bears out, has ever been established by law or court decision as to how many members of a congregation are required to be a "legitimate" religion serving a legitimate "public benefit" apparently we do not have enough congregants. Once again in both sworn testimony and affidavits considered part of the evidence, it was established that our website receives more than 5 thousand hits each month, more than (at the time of the trial) 250 people following our postings on Facebook and hundreds of people have attended services at the Maetreum over the years, including a number of local women, women and men from all over the US, women from Europe, Australia and Canada, this somehow does not meet a standard that actually does not exist in law. Not to mention our New and Full moon celebrations average more participants than the Episcopal church not 300 yards from our property at their weekly services. They are exempt, we're not worthy
The next point is astonishing in it's alleged internal logic. That our services are somehow "irregualar" in formal ritual and that because "prayer, meditation or spiritual activities (are) common in many homes" this somehow translates to our doing so "falls short of demonstrating that the property's actual use is in the furtherance of religion". Read that one again…..it is amazing in it's logic. Engaging in regular prayer, meditation AND spiritual activities are not practising religion? Because some secular households do so? This one alone rips the veil off of what is going on here. Nothing we do would be considered religious enough by this court, nothing at all when regular evening services are not practising religion. By the way, as to the irregular nature of our rituals, once again in both sworn direct testimony and evidence provided without being contested, the court was aware we hold regular, open to the public and announced services every single new and full moon as well as the four equinoxes and solstices. We have never skipped a single new or full moon in all the years we have been incorporated. That means roughly every two weeks there is a formal, open to the public ritual on the property in addition to our regular weekend activities virtually every weekend dedicated to some part of our religious mission. Our schedule of our "irregular" services is promoted on Facebook, normally on the large "church" style sign at the front of the property AND published on our website.
Also astounding in the decision was the claim of "the absence of comprehensive, on site religious duties for the priestesses" Our published organizational model which was introduced as evidence in direct form and as part of a book I wrote clearly outlines the duties of our priestesses even down to conflict resolution within the household, not to mention the myriad other duties spelled out… in detail. Further, in claiming a legal precedence we cited does not apply, the judge had to rule my own direct testimony was somehow suspect when it was not even challenged on cross examination! When the amount of personal time I spend was exactly the same as the Rabbi in that case, especially when you factor in time spent care-taking the property which has also been ruled by prior courts as part of exempt work.
The last point is simply unbelievable in it's leaps of illogic. Because prior to the Maetreum acquiring the property, the group that donated the property to the Maetreum had planned to use it for the charitable purpose of providing housing for women (and transsexual women as well) in need and because I alone of the original purchasers of the property am also a priestess (with exactly zero remaining personal financial interest due to the law) that charitable use is somehow not only not charitable but also suspect! We actually were not allowed to address any use of the property outside the years 2009 through 2011 by the judge and he uses what the property was used for BEFORE it belonged to the Maetreum of Cybele, a legally incorporated entity separate from the prior owners, to rule against us!
Charity is not charity, prayer, meditation and spiritual activities are not religious, duties of clergy clearly spelled out are not spelled out, activities every week and formal ones every two weeks are "irregular", some mythical standard of number of regular congregants was not met. We are a "legitimate" religion but actually exist to wrangle a tax exemption (not legitimate) I am personally a liar with no actual evidence provided to justify saying that. This is the basis of the decision when you parse the actual language beyond the wild and totally unsupported opinions of Dan Vincellete, attorney for Catskill in his closing alleged argument submitting in writing so as to avoid reaction. Arguments already found invalid, not accurate, not based on actual law, completely unsubstantiated and probably discriminatory by another Judge. I leave the motives behind this decision up to the speculation of my gentle readership.
BTW, the Goddess is pissed off. It's not nice (or wise) to fool (with) Mother Nature you know.

The identity of Tsuneoka's abductors remains unclear. Afghan security officials said in June that Taliban militants had claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, according to Tokyo-based agency Kyodo News. Tsuneoka said after his release that they were not Taliban insurgents, but "a group of corrupt armed factions" whose commander has links to the Afghan government, while the Japanese Embassy in Kabul said the group's affiliation was not known, Kyodo News reported. A Japanese government spokesman said Monday the government had not paid ransom to the kidnappers, according to Agence France-Presse.
"We are relieved that Kosuke Tsuneoka has been freed and is in
good health," said
France 3 television journalists Hervé Ghesquière and Stéphane Taponier, their translator, Mohammed Reza, and the group's unidentified driver are still being held by Taliban kidnappers in eastern Kapisa province. They were abducted in December 2009.

What Our Customer Says:
For some reason, whenever I walk in here, the staff is standing around without much to do. They offer assistance, which I decline... but by the time I do need them, they are all occupied with other customers. I think I just have bad luck. When I am finally able to get their attention back, they are always friendly, helpful and professional. I recently had to make an exchange without a receipt and there were no questions asked. Sweet. I would like to see some sort of improvement in their displays. The beads are stacked in the display case in trays - maybe 5 trays deep - so that you can't see anything below the top level without employee assistance. They do offer you catalogs to look at, but I want to see those puppies face-to-face in all their 3D glory without making the staff stand by while I try to make up my mind.
The only goal we are pursuing is customers' satisfaction. All of the things we have done, we are doing and we will do are for the goal. We will do our best and never fail you, to prove we are your best choice.

TAMPA — Hillsborough County government employees could experience something they haven't seen in three years: a bump in pay.
County Administrator Mike Merrill said it is a priority of his for the next budget that takes effect late this year to show employees who have seen their ranks thinned and their pay frozen that their hard work in trying times is appreciated.
More importantly, when county commissioners met for their first budget workshop of the year Wednesday, there appeared to be consensus among them that bonuses may be justified.
That's a key word: bonuses.
Any bump in pay would likely be a one-time payment, not affecting salaries or hourly wages going forward. And the bonuses would be tied to performance, as is required under recent changes to state law.
However, Merrill said, the intent would be to give as many of the county's roughly 5,000 employees as possible bonuses if they've been doing good work.
He said it's too early to give even a range for how much employees might expect, other than to say it will be modest.
"It's going to be enough to be meaningful," Merrill said after the workshop. "But I don't think we will be able to do enough for folks to be made whole."
Merrill said the county has had several valued employees leave in recent years.
Commissioner Mark Sharpe described running into a county employee as she worked a second job, and other board members said the county is at risk of losing talented workers as the economy rebounds.
"People really have sacrificed an awful lot," said Sharpe, a Republican.
Democrat Les Miller noted the time and date in memorializing Sharpe's comments in favor of giving employees some form of financial recognition. "I agree with Commissioner Sharpe. That doesn't happen too often."
"They've taken a beating," Miller said of county employees a moment later. "And we don't need to beat them anymore."
The comments came even as Merrill's budget workers informed commissioners that, for another year, overall tax revenues are expected to fall for the county in fiscal year 2013 — to the tune of $14.5 million.
County economist Kevin Brickey said foreclosures and short sales continue to depress home values, driving down property tax receipts that pay for much of the county's operations.
The good news is he and others at the county level believe home and other property prices may at last be hitting bottom.
So that may allow the county to justify selectively tapping reserves and taking other steps, knowing that the money flow may be leveling out or improving.
Merrill's budget staff also outlined other likely measures to bridge the revenue shortfall.
They include continued elimination of vacant positions, clamping down further on overtime and refinancing some of the county's debt to take advantage of favorable interest rates, among other measures.

Animal prints may be hot this season, but it's leopard that's about to really boil over. Showing up everywhere on the runways (including Dries Van Noten, above left, and Louis Vuitton, right), the cool thing about this year's leopard is how many different ways you can wear it. Rather than just sticking to the most realistic skin, designers are changing up the color, playing with proportion, and printing it on a wide variety of materials.
Here are our leopard Friday Favorites:
DEREK LAM Pony Hair Leopard Spotted Clutch. Totally chic, and now priced under $500.
JIMMY CHOO Patent Leather Leopard Riki. Take a walk on the wild side with this purple tote.
MANOLO BLAHNIK Leopard Suede Heels sz 39. Did someone say metallic suede leopard? So very sexy.

Scifi drawings
During past years, I've been drawing a lot of scifi illustrations, some of which I present here. Unfortunately I haven't been actually drawing for ages, but I'd like to do some more drawing - after a long pause I think it would be a perfect opportunity to start over again, taking a different approach from very different direction.

It's Friday afternoon, and The Royal Opera Season is very nearly at a close; Tosca on Sunday night is the last show. As a last hurrah to Puccini's great opera, here are some bits of Tosca trivia, all about Maria Callas (courtesy of Mr Barry Stewart, Backstage Tours Manager).
The body-con gown
Maria Callas made her debut in Covent Garden in 1952 as Norma, and went on to sang Aida, Leonora (Il trovatore), Violetta (La traviata), Medea and finally Tosca. For this her final role at Covent Garden she wore a dark red velvet gown in the Empire style with a seam just under the bust. This design is still the traditional style for the role today; however, Maria Callas's dress had one main difference. She was extremely conscious of her weight, so the panel down the centre of the dress was reversed in order that the velvet looked darker and it made her look slimmer.
Stage fright in 1964
Before making her first appearance on stage as Tosca in 1964, Callas's dresser had to physically stop her from leaving the theatre because of her nerves. It also took Zeffirelli the director pushing her on stage before she made her first entrance.
Smoking hot wigs
During the show, Tito Gobbi recalls in his autobiography that Callas leant too close to the candle flame during the scene between herself and Tito as Scarpia. The wig she was wearing brushed the flame and started smouldering. As the lecherous Scarpia, Gobbi leant around and extinguished the flame with his bare hands, burning himself quite badly. Callas didn't miss a note however until the point at which Tosca has to stab Scarpia. She just lifted the blade and stabbed saying under her breath, 'Grazie Tito…'.
Real-live guardsmen from Buckingham Palace
Real guardsmen were the order of the day in Callas's time, a legacy of the Victorian age. In the 19th-century Queen Victoria famously complained about the slovenly way the chorus and actors were performing as guards in Fidelio and offered to supply Royal Guardsmen to supplement whenever the theatre needed non-singing guards. This continued until 1978; the last performances in which guardsmen were used were in the March/April 1978 revival of Il trovatore.
The men were supplied from whichever regiment was on household duty at Buckingham Palace. On 4 August 2000 General Sir Charles Guthrie (then the Chief of Defence), being interviewed for Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4, related that he had appeared as a guardsman in Tosca during Maria Callas's last appearance at the Royal Opera House in July 1965, during a gala performance in the presence of HM the Queen Mother.
Tosca runs 9 January–5 February 2016. Tickets are still available.

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve Everyone! I hope everyone's halls are decked and presents are wrapped. We're still working our way to the finish line around here.
Before I sign off for the weekend I wanted to leave you with something that I've been admiring for a while. The more and more furniture I see from Somerset Bay the more I fall in love with their gorgeous updated coastal, beachy, lakehouse style. I mentioned the other day that i was a bit on the obsessed side with the Catalina bed (pictured below) by Somerset Bay. I've keep going back to their site looking at all of their furniture and I want to take every piece home with me. They have so many beautiful colors and styles. Below are a few of my favorites from Somerset Bay.
Catalina Bed via
Sullivan's Island Bench via
Slip Seat Carmel via
Crisfield End Table via
Long Key Chest via
Crisfield Bookshelf via
Catskill Cocktail Table via
So let's play what's your favorite piece? Mine is still the Catalina Bed but I'm also loving the Long Key Chest and the Sullivan's Island Bench and the Slip Seat Carmel. I can't decide!

Effort pays off!
Prescott, Wis.
Effort pays off!
I never knew until I downloaded the images..... The yellow, external, T-bar tag that was attached to the dorsal fin of my trout was quite obvious on the pictures . I had never seen it during the hooking, jumping, chasing, netting and photographing part of the fevered battle I had with her last week on Minnesota's North Shore. As I looked at my computer, I couldn't believe it. I learned later that the yellow tag meant that this fish was reared at the French River hatchery and could possibly have an additional archival tag surgically implanted under her skin. These archival tags, implanted in a study in 2006, record important data by measuring time, water temperature and depth. The information stored on these tags is valuable to the DNR as they study the activities of these fish in Lake Superior and the rivers they return to for spawning. The tags are clearly marked with the words "REWARD" on them and the DNR kindly asks anglers to bring these rainbows to the hatchery for the removal of the tag. The reward is $50. Truth be told, not all tagged Kamloops carry an internal archival tag on their journey and my experience with fin clips and tagged fish on the North Shore has just begun. I will pay closer attention in the future. It sure would have been nice though, to cover the cost of my visit to the Fitgers Brewhouse in Duluth by catching the lucky fish!

(Reuters) - Authorities are investigating an explosion that originated in a vat of eggnog, damaged a pharmaceutical plant and caused minor injuries to two workers in New Jersey, local media said on Sunday.
Two employees were mixing artificial eggnog flavorings in a laboratory at Pharmachem Laboratories in Totowo, New Jersey on Saturday night when the explosion occurred, Totowa Fire Marshal Allen Del Vecchio told WABC-TV Eyewitness News.
They were trying out a new eggnog recipe, the station said, adding that the cause of the blast was undetermined.
The explosion blew off the rear of the three-story plant and left glass scattered on the ground, WABC-TV reported.
Pharmachem did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company makes and supplies ingredients for foods, beverages and other products, according to its website.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited about Alfonso Soriano's 2-homer performance last night, or his Cubs record-setting 9 April home runs, but I'm just wondering...
Do you believe them?
Sure they happened alright, but will they keep coming or is this his hot month and the rest will be fours and fivers.
Looking back at his Cub years, he started out as that streaky freak: in 2007 he had 11 homers in June along with 14 homers in September. In 2008 he had 10 in May. Then he started to un-streak somewhat. In 2009 his high month was 7 in April, and in 2010 he had 6 May homers.
Not perfect streak research of course (what about a streak that starts late in one month and continues into the next), but you get the idea.
Now he's got 9 in April, history would suggest that this might be his high month, right?
So, on one hand his homers are probably telling the truth, and he'll do less as the season goes on.
On the other, what if this is just the beginning?
What if there really is something to the time distance from his last injury, and he has some kind of serious resurgence?
Move him up the order some, and maybe the RBI total goes up too?
Right now he's got the 9 homers but only 18 RBIs, which is exactly 8 more than Aramis Ramirez, and 13 more than Marlon Byrd.
18 RBIs is also only 5 more than Darwin Barney's 13.
All of those numbers are weird and sad.
It was good to see Z get back on the winning track last night, although I totally thought he would blow up a couple times either at the home plate ump or himself.
Plus seeing Wood/Marshall/Marmol wolf down the last 3 innings was a pleasure.
And I think I speak the truth about us all when I say it's no lie we'd like to see Matt Garza get his first Cub W.
Go Cubs!

Oct. 10 Jim Leyland postgame interview
Q. Can you just give us thoughts, Jim, at this point on what just happened?
JIM LEYLAND: Yeah, well, it's baseball. I mean, that's why this is the greatest game of all. It looked like we were going to get it. We didn't do it. We didn't quite get the 27 outs, that's part of the game.
You get tested all the time in this game. And this is a good test. We were down like the wild card situation was, one game, pretty simple. I thought we played our hearts out. Tonight we just didn't close it out.
Q. What did you see from Max? It looked like he was rolling along in the game and then all of a sudden he started ‑‑
JIM LEYLAND: Well, if you watched the velocity started to drop pretty good. He hasn't really pitched that much lately, the velocity started to drop, 90 to 91. It looked like he was pretty much spent. I think he ‑‑ he felt comfortable, obviously with the move. I think he wanted to face Cespedes, but at this point I could see that the velocity was dropping. I didn't want him to make a mistake and have Cespedes hurt us. That's why we made the move. Max wanted Cespedes, but he was pretty much spent.
Q. I know you've said that I trust my bullpen, I have faith in them and yet Valverde's had his share of problems, Benoit got through fine tonight, but then Valverde just got raked. Can you talk about the pitches that you saw him throw tonight?
JIM LEYLAND: Well, I mean they just hit him. They basically charged him and hit him. He probably didn't get the ball located where he wanted to. The first hit was just out of the reach of Omar. It could have been right at him; it wasn't. They got the hit, then they banged a couple after that, obviously. You tip your hat to them. He probably didn't get the ball where he wanted to. That pretty much sums it up.
He's our guy, and that's just the way it is. We worked hard to get to that point and I thought Benoit got a huge strikeout in the 8th, when he struck out Moss. And certainly I feel comfortable with Jose coming in in that situation. Tonight he just didn't get the job done. That's all part of the game.
