Will it make it possible to top 25 mph/40.2336 kph? Will it make it easier to climb hills? I really wish these companies would stop reinventing the wheel and build something to allow greater speed easier to sustain a higher speed would be nice. I see all these adverts for these different crank sets and I really don't understand why do they charge the high prices when these things only give you at best a marginal increase in speed or sustainable speed.
Looks like a 42 big ring. Can that be right? What cyclesport would that be designed for? 'Cross, maybe? Can't see it supporting road speeds at a comfortable cadence. More pretty, more $, probably fewer grams, but why?
If you look at the picture closely, it says "39T" on the big ring, so it's 39 tooth, not 42 tooth as speculated.
Also, like all of the groups SRAM is promoting under their "2X10" campaign, it's actually intended for mountain riding… it doesn't have to sustain road speeds.
As for the first comment about 25 mph, I can't help but wonder what bicycles you're riding that you can't exceed 25 mph with a double crank, even on level ground, let alone a downhill of any sort.
What I'm really wondering about is when Byron's going to kick in with his usual anti-SRAM, pro-Shimano rant… and did he do it in front of the SRAM rep? ;-)
I was fighting off the people accusing me of being sexist cause I used the term milf in a post, but my "damn your shit is sooo loud" is replaced with, "how many labels can you put on your products?" and "WiFli has to be the stupidest marketing ever from you guys!" I welcome the eventual displacement of triples with compact and also did note that Microdrive will have it's day once again.
You sir are obviously not your average rider and therefore do not fall under my comment. I am a typical bicycle commuter with an average speed of about 17-20 mph. I am in search of addons that could boost my average speed and or sustainable speed above 25 mph without the need to increase my physical exertion. Unless you are racing I see no reason to go out and get this thing however I do see companies boasting about their cranks and I am asking the question why don't they display the potential increase in performance? Most average bicyclists would not purchase such devices due to their price and lack of hard performance data. I just don't understand why companies target bicycle racers so much? I enjoy my bicycle however in the end it is a vehicle to get me from point a to point b.
That's just new products each year marketed to move them—ignore the labels and the copy and look at what's practical about it for you; they've got keep the factories churning and the whole delivery system engaged so it's new product revs each year and periodically a new tech comes out. The good thing is that sports marketing means we can buy what the pros use; however that also means they're not marketing specifically to "make your commute faster." You can do that yourself with a pair of fast wheels and that's the biggest speed bump you'll see—have them built up to clydesdale to last and with at least a 40MM wing with a set of Schwalbes Ultremo DDs.
This line from SRAM and [especially Apex](http://www.flickr.com/photos/huggerindustries/4909509390/) is compact with a wider range of gears. Apex is compelling, if you're into compact, because you can mixmatch components to get even a wider range of gears. I wouldn't see a crank per se making you go faster but wheels and tires for sure.
Novara does make bikes for tourists and commuters and so do others, but they're also not going to talk about going faster as they believe that's not a core desire of a commuter.
I hope they have multiple gearing options. 39T is way too low for XC riders.
Imagine a venn diagram, on one side is the population of riders that would care about q-factor and the weight savings of giving up a chainring. On the other side is the group of riders who don't need big ring gearing or a bash guard.
How big is the overlap between these groups? I'd say none.
39T big ring is targeted towards 29ers. there are doubtlessly other ring options, just like with XX (which has 3 options). there are distinct differences between the bashring double cranks and the XC doubles, so yes, I don't expect much overlap.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum is in search of a fresh start, and the journey began in a barber's chair.
A day before FanFest at AT&T Park, Lincecum showed off a new, short haircut and said he's looking to put a rough 2012 season in the past.
"Last year was a tough one to swallow, but I got through it," Lincecum said. "Coming to the field today and being around all these guys, it's kind of hard not to be positive. You feel like anything can happen."
Lincecum's new look received quite a bit of reaction.
"I know he looks 12 now instead of 15," pitcher Ryan Vogelsong said. "I'm jealous -- I wish I looked 12."
General manager Brian Sabean compared Lincecum's look to that of late singer Buddy Holly, but Sabean called the look "very professional."
Lincecum estimates he put on 8-10 pounds since the Giants won the World Series with their longtime ace serving as a jack-of-all-trades reliever. He's looking forward to getting back in the starting rotation and said he feels he will be "more explosive" this season.
Lincecum's weight has fluctuated in the past and he put on 30 pounds in 2011 before dropping it all before the 2012 season. The result was a mechanical mess.
This offseason, Lincecum hired new trainers and did different workouts, using sleds, kettlebells and rubber bands to get back into the kind of shape he was in while winning two Cy Young Awards.
"It's the way I put on the weight," Lincecum said. "Pound for pound, I feel like I'm back where I can be."

LOMITA -- Alexis Butler was proud of her younger sister, Elizabeth, a Santa Cruz police detective who grew up in Lomita. Maybe even a bit jealous, she acknowledges.
"Jealous in the way someone is really doing a job that they love and gets paid for it," the sister said. "There was a career path and it fit into what she liked to do. It seemed like a dream." Elizabeth Butler, a 10-year veteran police officer, died in the line of duty Tuesday while investigating a sexual assault. A gunman opened fire on the 38-year-old officer and her partner, 28-year veteran Loran "Butch" Baker, killing both when they walked up to his door to talk to him.
Butler and Baker were the first police officers killed in the line of duty in the history of the Santa Cruz department.
"I think she always wanted to do a job that served the public," her sister said.
"She just seemed always to be very well-adjusted and happy and super fun. The thing about her job, she really liked to investigate things." Butler, who attended St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church school in Lomita, never planned for a career as a police officer while attending Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, where she was a member of the California Scholarship Federation and the Mountaineering Club, and competed in volleyball and track.
Butler majored in community studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and worked jobs where she could help people, including at a children's center and at Lenders for Community Development, an organization that helped provide loans to largely minority families to start businesses.
Butler then moved to San Francisco, where she met her boyfriend, artist Peter Woo, in a ceramics class.
The couple fell in love and, after checking out Portland, Ore., as a possible site for Woo to open a ceramics studio, chose Santa Cruz.
With money tight, and openings at the Police Department, Butler applied to become a police officer. The job would allow her to make use of her ability to speak fluent Spanish and her desire to help people.
"She ended up being a really good police officer," her sister said. "She loved the job." Handling sex crimes, Butler excelled at conducting interviews and interrogations, and interviewing children, her sister said. Two weeks ago, Butler investigated the shooting of a 21-year-old woman during a robbery at a bus stop.
Butler never became depressed, despite the nature of her work, Alexis Butler said.
"My sister believed in the innate goodness of people," her sister said. "She didn't dwell on it."
In a June 4, 2011, blog post on the Santa Cruz Police Department's website, Butler said she enjoyed working with residents of her city.
"Solving criminal cases with the community's help and participation is the most fulfilling aspect of police work," Butler said. "We are here to serve the residents of the City of Santa Cruz and make this a safe place to live and raise families." During her career, Butler worked as a patrol officer, hostage negotiator, a bike officer, a narcotics investigator and walked a downtown foot beat.
At home, Butler and her boyfriend were raising their two children, sons Joaquin, 5, and Stellan, 2. She took them to school, to the park and music class. Butler's mother, Louise, moved from her Lomita home to care for the children while their mother worked a police officer's odd hours and overtime.
"They had a really happy family," Alexis Butler said. "They had just gone to the beach last weekend as a family." Santa Cruz Police Chief Keith Vogel called Tuesday the darkest day in the department's history. The suspected shooter, Jeremy Peter Goulet, 35, was killed in a gunbattle with police officers about 30 minutes after shooting Butler and her partner.
Alexis Butler said she had never worried about her sister, even though she realized she was in a high-risk job. She called her sister's death the result of "senseless violence." Calling herself a pacifist, Alexis Butler said she did not hold the same views about guns as her sister. The shooting, and other recent high-profile killings, makes Alexis Butler wonder "about every person being able to have access to guns." "It seems like they are saying that the police were just following a regular review process," the sister said. "It just seems like someone opening a door and killing police officers at the door - it's wrong." Alexis Butler planned to travel to Santa Cruz today to join her mother. Their father, Jerry, died several years ago.
"(My sister) was a very admirable person and she never faltered," she said. "She was a good person and she was compassionate toward people. Just last weekend she said she wished more women would become police officers."

Sierra weather is fickle. It can be feast or famine. According to Lisa Berry, wildflower aficionado and Lake Tahoe Community College adjunct instructor, in wildflower terms it can result in a distinct advantage.
Berry has been leading wildflower hikes and studying the area's wildflowers for almost a decade. This year's dry winter season resulted in something she said she has never seen before.
"The light winter did take its toll on the flowers," Berry stated in a press release. "You didn't see the explosions of color like we are used to, but what I found was when the conditions aren't right for the normal flowers they are perfect for other flowers that usually don't get a chance to bloom."
Berry will be talking about her findings and presenting a slideshow of her discoveries on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. in LTCC's Aspen Room. The talk is free and open to the public.
"One of things that make wildflowers wild is that they like uncontrolled conditions," Berry explained. "It was a fast and furious season. Your timing had to be great. I didn't find the usual lupine and paintbrush, but on the far side of Round Top lake, I found a carpet of the wildflower Veronica where I have only found it occasionally.
"I found that there were other flowers that really enjoy the dry season like angelica, and wall flowers came up in abundance."
Berry said what she likes most about her wildflower hiking class is helping students develop a sense of flowers that they didn't have before.
"Flowers appeal to all the senses," she said. "They invite us to take a closer look at the environment around us."

DENVER - Eagle Valley's Andy Armstrong is 6 minutes (or fewer) from the dream.
Armstrong, who finished fifth in last year's state tournament at 220 pounds, is in tonight's final against Canon City's Garrett Benell at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The parade of champions, composed of all those in Class 2A-5A in tonight's title bouts, starts at 6:30 The bouts start at 7 p.m., with 106 pounds, so Armstrong will go at it at approximately 8-8:30 p.m.
Armstrong advanced to the final with a 3-0 decision over Connor Eakes of Broomfield. Armstrong was never in trouble and controlled matters for the whole 6 minutes.
After his customary pump-up with coach Ron Beard and assistant Luke Cross - high-fives down low - and a quick kneel for a moment of prayer, Armstrong went to work.
Eakes tried to shoot Armstrong repeatedly to no avail. Once they engaged, Armstrong nearly turned Eakes in the first period, but couldn't quite get the two points.
Armstrong started the second period with Eakes in the top position.
"Luke was yelling, 'How fast?' That's what we yell whenever anyone's on the bottom," Beard said. "You don't want to carry the weight of the guy on top. How fast can you get away?"
Apparently, very fast. Armstrong (39-0) blew out of Eakes' hold and registered the one-point escape. Shortly afterward, the two engaged, and Armstrong threw Eakes down for a takedown and a 3-0 lead.
"It feels pretty good," Armstrong said. "We should have more guys wrestling still. I'll be watching them all day trying to get ready."
Armstrong rode on top for the entire third period, trying to turn Eakes for the pin.
"Never in danger," Beard said. "That was a dominating 3-0 performance. That kid's a good wrestler, but his goal was just not to get pinned."
That was the only bad news for Armstrong, who had 26 pins going into the match. He wanted to match Mason Ewing's fall record of 28, set in 2006. More importantly, though, Armstrong is still in the running for the brass ring.
Armstrong made the semifinals by getting a 7-5 decision over Pueblo South's Hunter Reinert Friday afternoon.
The other members of Eagle Valley's quartet in Denver were busy Saturday well after the Vail Daily's press time.
At 182 pounds, Ty LaFramboise fell to the top seed, Mead's Kyle Couch, 9-4. LaFramboise was scheduled to face Canon City's Anthony Abbott in the wrestle-back late Saturday night.
Joey Sanchez (195) ran into Jaime Ramos Vega, of Longmont, dropping a 6-3 decision. Sanchez was taking on Palmer Ridge's Phoenix Versey in a bid to rally for a place on the podium.
Cole Nielsen, at 170 pounds, was eliminated from the tournament with a 5-0 loss to Golden's Brad Blackstock.

U.S. Attorney Issues Subpoena to Committee Probing George Washington Bridge Scandal
New Jersey U.S. attorney Paul Fishman has issued a subpoena to a legislative committee investigating the George Washington Bridge closures for its documents pertaining to the matter, a sign that prosecutors are continuing to delve into the issue.
The subpoena was issued by prosecutors for "any and all records" produced or obtained by the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigation in the course of its work, according to a copy viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The two-page subpoena was issued last week, and Democratic and Republican members of the committee were made aware of it Thursday night. The records are due back at the U.S. attorney's office in Newark on May 2, the subpoena states.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office said they don't comment on the specifics of an investigation.
The committee was formed in January to examine who was responsible for the lane closures that crippled traffic in the borough of Fort Lee, N.J., in September, and why they were conducted. Five allies to Gov. Chris Christie have stepped down since the matter began to come to light last year.
Mr. Christie has said he had no knowledge of the closures, nor would he have condoned them. An internal investigation by lawyers hired by the administration concurred.
The committee and prosecutors are both looking into the matter, and some state lawmakers have questioned the need for the legislative body given Mr. Fishman's probe. Mr. Fishman's office and the committee's counsel, Jenner & Block LLP, have been in touch to discuss their twin probes as they have continued, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The committee has issued more than two dozen subpoenas for records pertaining to the lane closures and has amassed thousands of pages of documents in response.
A new batch of legislative subpoenas issued earlier this week requested testimony from two Christie administration staffers, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and a commissioner to the agency.
The four individuals are expected to testify before the committee in May.

Set up a system of equations describing the following word problem. Be sure to specify what each variable represents.
A forest inhabited only by borogoves and mome raths contains eighty-two creatures. Borogoves are two-legged animals, while a mome rath has four legs. Sorry, we were getting bored of cats and birds.
If the forest contains a total of 234 legs, how many borogoves and how many mome raths live in the forest?
Let x be the number of borogoves and y the number of mome raths. Then
Stanley has $1.45 in dimes and quarters. If he has 10 coins total, how many of each kind of coin does he have?
You don't need to know the Canadian exchange rate to solve this problem.
Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters Stanley has. Then
A private school spent $860,000 in one year to pay all of its teachers and administrators. The school has a total of twenty-four teachers and administrators combined. If teachers make $35,000 per year and administrators make $40,000 per year, how many teachers and how many administrators does the school have? Also, where in the country do these people live that they are able to get by on such a pittance? You hear that, private school? We're calling you out.
Let x be the number of teachers and y the number of administrators the school has. Then
Tom and Jerry drove 270 total miles in 5 hours. Tom always drives 40 mph and Jerry always drives 60 mph. It's a wonder they can manage to remain friends. How many hours did Tom drive and how many hours did Jerry drive?
Let x be the number of hours Tom drove and y the number of hours Jerry drove. Then
Blue beads cost $0.50 per ounce and green beads cost $0.75 per ounce. Janine wants to mix blue and green beads to get 10 ounces of a bead mixture worth $0.55 per ounce. Wow...Janine has some extremely specific designs on these beads, it seems. Hey, good for her for knowing exactly what she wants.
How many ounces of each color does Janine need to buy?
If x is the number of ounces of blue beads and y the number of ounces of green beads, then
For each problem above, you found a system of equations. What did these systems of equations have in common?
In each system, one of the equations was
x + y = (some number).
In other words, one of the pieces of information given in the problem was the sum, or total, of the two unknown quantities. We're having sum fun now.
Set up a system of equations describing the following word problem. Be sure to specify what each variable represents.
Ayako spent $7.80 on equal weights of white and red beads. The red beads cost twice as much per ounce as the white beads. Well, sure they do. The world's supply of the color red has recently dipped to an all-time low, and is in high demand.
How much did Ayako spend on each color of beads?
Let x be the amount Ayako spent on white beads, and y the amount she spent on red beads. Then
A rectangle has perimeter 18. If each side of the rectangle is doubled, the perimeter of the new rectangle is 36. What were the dimensions of the original rectangle?
Let l be the length and w the width of the original rectangle. Then
Five ounces of dark chocolate and eleven ounces of milk chocolate combine to form one pound of 52.5% chocolate. Eight ounces each of dark and milk chocolate combine to form one pound of 60% chocolate. What percent chocolate are the dark and milk chocolate being used? Bonus question: dark chocolate kicks milk chocolate's behind. Okay, so the bonus question wasn't actually a question, but now you know where we stand.
Let x be the percent of the dark chocolate and y the percent of the milk chocolate, each represented as a number between 0 and 1. And don't forget, a pound is 16 ounces. Here's our system:
Jemima wants to make chocolate-chip walnut brownies. Chocolate chips come in a 12 oz bag that costs $3. Walnuts come in a 4 oz bag that costs $2. If Jemima needs three pounds of chocolate chips and walnuts combined, and has $15 to spend, how many bags of each can she buy? BTW, what's with the shoestring budget, Jemima? If you're going to start this chocolate-chip walnut brownie venture of yours, build up some capital and really go for it. Even if you're only entertaining a few guests.
Let x be the number of bags of chocolate chips and y the number of bags of walnuts. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so to get the right weight,
12x + 4y = 3(16)
To find the right price, 3x + 2y = 15.
Make it rain.

Yarn Profile: Cascade Malizia
First Impressions
My hope was recently renewed when I set eyes on this surprising creation from Cascade Yarns.
It begins with a railroad-style ribbon with zigzagging ties between the rails. A strand of space-dyed satin runs down the middle, and it forms loops on the outsides of the rails every inch, like butterfly wings. (View a closeup.)
The color choices are outstanding, ranging from stark contrasts to warm complements. The contrasting colors (with the railroad in one color and the satin in an entirely different color) produce an icy "pop" effect, while the complementary colors produce a more velvety depth.
Overall, it's an amazing yarn worth a second look—and a third, fourth, and fifth while you're at it.
Knitting Up
The butterfly wing loops create even more snagging potential.
And yet, surprisingly, I managed to navigate the potholes and have a relatively smooth ride. I did take some precautions: I chose dull-tipped wooden needles to minimize the snagging potential, and I kept my pace very slow and steady, with my eyes never leaving the needles.
Although my needles did snag periodically, it never caused visible damage to the finished fabric. The seemingly loose butterfly wings are actually firmly secured in place by the railroad, so that even when my needle hit them, it didn't pull anything out of shape.
The only other issue was with my hands, which tend to get rough during the dry winter months. Those rough spots kept dragging on the satin core, pulling loose tiny wisps of fiber.
The wisps weren't too visible in the finished fabric, and this is just one of those inevitabilities of working with smooth satiny materials during the winter months.
My finished swatches were stunning. The intense colors are rendered more vibrant by the satiny sheen of the core fibers, and the butterfly wings pop out of the fabric to produce a striking—but not overwhelming—sense of three-dimensional depth.
Blocking / Washing
I rinsed them, blotted them with a towel, and then dried them flat away from heat or direct sunlight. The little butterfly loops had flattened onto the fabric. I ran my finger along the fabric surface a few times, and the loops popped back up just fine.
Sometimes I've found that the shinier, satin-style novelty yarns can become a bit flat and listless after washing. The miracle cure is to add a tiny dab of hair conditioner to the rinse, which I did with my second round of swatches.
Perhaps it was only psychological, but those softened swatches seemed to have a little bit more fluidity and luster to them.
The tiny wisps of satin do tend to catch against anything slightly rough, so keep those hands moisturized, and watch out for spintered wooden chairbacks.
After an extended period of abrasion, those loose wisps introduced a somewhat sloppy blur to the otherwise crisp and velvety fabric.
I've had this happen with other novelty yarns that incorporate fine satin-type fibers, and there's not much you can do—it's part of the game.
Fortunately, Malizia is rather like saffron. It costs a lot, but you only need a little bit to get the full effect.
It'd be brilliant as trim for a hat or mittens or a bag or anything that needs a little burst of color and texture. (I took a skein of Knit Picks' Elegance and knit up two possible trim examples: first, adding Malizia alone as trim; and second, knitting Malizia and Elegance together for a thicker, less distinct border.
You could also spice up any scarf by adding a row of Malizia every few inches, and incorporating it into the trim or fringe. I've also heard people using it as trim on felted bags, although I suspect some of the crisp shimmer would be lost in the felting process.
But otherwise, using one skein or 20, anything you do with Malizia will be bright, vibrant, and eye-catching. You'll have to pay attention while you knit, and the yarn will eventually lose its resiliency after a few seasons—but I think it's still worth it.

SAN JOSE -- Gunfire left a young male dead late Friday in the Midtown neighborhood, bringing the city's 2012 homicide tally to 43 and matching a 20-year high recorded in 1997 with still a month left to go in the year.
According to police, the victim was shot around 11:33 p.m. on the 900 block of Pacific Avenue. Police said preliminary indications are that he was 17 years old, but it will be up to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner's Office to identify him.
Details were sparse early Saturday.
"A suspect or suspects approached the victim and shot him," said San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "We don't know a motive but are exploring the possibility that it is gang related."
The shooting occurred on a residential street near the intersection of West San Carlos Street and Lincoln Avenue.
The year's tally is sobering. San Jose has long been lauded as one of the safest, if not the safest, large city in the country. That largely remains the case, but this year in particular has been troubling for a community not accustomed to its city being a recurring fixture in newscasts with each bout of violence.
The worst came via an 11-day period in August that yielded eight slayings, which authorities roundly declared one of the bloodiest stretches in the city's history. Meanwhile, incidents often typed as "quality of life" crimes -- such as burglaries and auto thefts -- have spiked and are exacerbated by a stretched out city patrol that has had to de-prioritize responses to these calls in favor of violent crimes.
Anyone with information about the homicide can call San Jose police at 408-277-5283. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call 408-947-7867.

Rain could bring flash floods, officials say
Published: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 2:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 2:05 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Between 6 and 8 inches of rain has fallen across parts of Tuscaloosa County since Wednesday, and forecasters say another 2 to 4 inches could fall before the storm front moves out on Sunday.
Jessica Chace, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Birmingham, said certain isolated areas could receive more rain than the possible 4 inches by Monday.
No sustained high winds or tornadoes are expected, but Chace said the heavy rain could lead to flash floods across West Alabama and the rest of the state.
"With the rain that's falling now, it's only going to take a little more rain to produce flash flooding," she said.
This is particularly hazardous because flash floods are one of the most fatal weather-related events across the country, Chace said.
"Don't drive through flooded areas — you're endangering not only yourself but others who may have to come and save you," Chace said. "Stay weather aware."

After selfies at funerals and selfies with homeless people, it seemed like the potential for teens taking horrible self-shot photos had finally bottomed out. But that was before someone took a smiling selfie at Auschwitz Concentration Camp, a site where one million Jews (at a conservative estimate) were experimented on and executed, and then punctuated it with a cheerful emoji, because 2014.
The Twitter backlash against @PrincessBMM, identified by the Daily Mail as Breanna Mitchell, has been loud and furious. She's (unfortunately) far from the first to take a selfie at a concentration camp, but the insouciance of that smiley struck people as especially galling.
Mitchell claimed on Twitter that those attacking her have it all wrong: She wasn't ignorant of the history of Auschwitz. In fact, she said she had studied it with her father, who has since died, and they had hoped to go there together. She says she was smiling because she finally made that trip and the image and emoji were taken out of context when it went viral.
"He died a year ago, so that trip actually meant something to me and I was happy about it," she tweeted.
But she also retweeted hundreds of her supporters who didn't understand why the image would upset anyone (even when they really didn't help her case):
And although she initially asked people to stop sharing and commenting on the photo, she hasn't taken it down. Instead, she's shifted to tweeting about how hugely viral her hugely virulent photo has become:
It appears her supposedly respectful study of World War II history has mutated into an exercise in unexpected infamy. She could be the bigger person and apologize, maybe even salvage a learning experience from this sad situation. But, in the words of the great poet Lil Jon, "Turn down for what?!"

Japan's Tepid Victory Over Deflation
The good news: Economists increasingly are convinced that Japan has finally slain its deflation dragon.
The bad news: The victory they envision doesn't look like much to celebrate, with a future of slow growth and painful policy choices.
That's the rough consensus from a Wall Street Journal survey of 41 global economists, completed Thursday, taking stock of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic revival plan about a year and a half into his term.
In response to the question, "do you think that Japan has successfully exited deflation?" two-thirds of respondents said "yes."
If true, that would mark success for Mr. Abe on his signature policy goal and a significant turning point for an economy gripped for nearly 15 years by a destructive spiral of falling prices, wages, spending and investment — the only major modern economy to suffer that affliction.
In March, the most closely watched gauge of inflation rose 1.3% over the previous year, the government reported Friday, continuing the recent trend of steady price increases.
The economists — mainly from Japan and the U.S. — generally conclude that, contrary to earlier fears, the recovery engendered by Abenomics is strong enough to withstand the blow of the April 1 sales-tax increase.
Thirty-one of the 33 economists who offered growth projections anticipated just one quarter of contraction in gross domestic product, from April-June, as consumers temporarily scale back spending following a pre-tax binge. Most expect a return to stable growth by the second half of 2014 and over the next two years, even as 76% support plans to raise the consumption tax again in October 2015.
Overall, 55% of the economists gave Abenomics a "B" grade, with another 10% giving it an "A."
"There is more action than in the past 30 years," wrote Ram Bhagavatula, managing director of New York-based hedge fund Combinatorics Capital, LLC.
But stopping prices from falling doesn't mean they'll rise as fast as the Bank of Japan considers consistent with a healthy economy. Only four of the 33 economists who issued an inflation forecast saw the central bank reaching its target of 2% inflation next year, once the effects of the tax increase are taken out. A majority said that even with low inflation, price increases would outstrip wage hikes this year and next, meaning income for workers would effectively fall despite the recovery.
On average, the economists expect GDP to grow just 1.3% rate in 2015, below International Monetary Fund forecasts for the U.S., the Euro area and Canada. Japan's growth is then expected to slip to 1.1% in 2016, according to those surveyed.
One reason: As part of its complex restructuring, Japan's economy appears to have lost one of its key growth engines — exports. When BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda unleashed his massive monetary stimulus a year ago, it was expected to lift exports.
Ramping up the supply of yen pushed down the yen's value against the dollar and other currencies, which lowered the price of Japanese-made goods in global markets.
But exports haven't risen as much as forecast, and — to the surprise of many economists and policymakers — the trade deficits that started in the pre-Abenomics, strong-yen era have continued. One reason is that Japanese manufacturers have moved significant production overseas, and don't appear to be coming back.
Asked if Japan would "return to a sustainable trade surplus over the next decade," 70% of those surveyed said "no."
"Lost factories will not return easily," said Robert Feldman, chief economist of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities in Tokyo.
Japan's slow-growth future also is rooted in muted estimates of the country's "growth potential," a kind of speed limit for an economy based on factors like the size of the workforce, the capacity of companies to produce goods and services, and the efficiency of producers.
The economists put Japan's potential annual growth rate at an average of just 0.92%. A few said they felt the country's potential had fallen in recent years despite Abenomics, due to weak capital spending and a shrinking, aging workforce.
"The demographic onus," was how Tokyo University economist Takatoshi Ito put it.
Nearly 80% of the economists said they expect the BOJ's Mr. Kuroda to take fresh action before the year is out to try to push inflation closer to his target. About half expect new steps between July and October.
But many economists think monetary policy may be hitting its limits, and that long-term growth prospects rest on Abenomics' "third arrow" of structural reforms (following the "first arrow" of monetary stimulus and the second of public-works spending).
But those changes require taking on powerful vested interests. Mr. Abe's failure this week to strike a trade deal with visiting U.S. President Barack Obama — an agreement that would have meant breaking with Japan's agriculture lobby to deliver market-opening measures — has underscored skepticism about his willingness to take such bold steps.
Just over one-fourth of those surveyed considered the third arrow "very good" or "adequate" — about the same who felt that way when The Journal last did a Japan survey in June 2013.
Asked which reforms they consider most important, more than 40% cited stalled efforts to shake up the country's rigid labor market. Another 15% singled out the stymied trade talks with the U.S. to create a Pacific-wide free-trade region.
The biggest downside risk for Japan's economic outlook is "timidity in the face of political pressure," said David Stockton, senior fellow at the Peterson Institution for International Economics in Washington, D.C.
"The first two arrows will not be sufficient to restore robust growth. The third arrow will be the key," Mr. Stockton said.

Coutinho would be great on the middle!
By that I mean attacking central midfielder. His vision and weight of pass is extraordinary. If we get Eriksen in then he is going to have to be bloody good because I can't see many being better than little Phil.......for the record I don't mind him on the left coz he's tucked in anyway and it's a good intro to the English game for him. 8 mil? Obviously we don't have to spend a sh!tload of dosh to get class players in.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

I'd agree with that Loki, although I think under BR's perfect system where a player lines up across the front 3 (and in the hole) should be fairly immaterial. Seems to me he does want to cut in, and is playing the role I think BR envisioned Borini would, or what Sterling was asked to do in the first half of the season. As the young Brazilian becomes more accustomed to the system, and the players around him I think we'll see more of that interchange.
Leaving the debate on whether Borini should or should not stay, with players like him, Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge, now Coutinho and the likes of Suso in the wings, and maybe the likes of an Ince or similar type player coming in, it's quite a formidable and versatile front line.
My only criticism of the lad is his tracking back and strength when he does not have the ball. I've seen him track back and help out Jose, but he needs to be more consistent at this, especially if we want our full backs to push forward, they need wingers who can help them out.
But to Colin's point on flair vs. disciplined squad players, that is often the tradeoff. We can play a Henderson wide (or in the past a Kuyt) and get that work rate, but not always the invention. We do get both sides of the coin with Stevie, but let's be honest that is extremely rare.
For me we need both. We need the Henderson, the Allen, the Lucas who can hold up the ball distribute it, but are not likely to go on the mazy run taking on defenders and create something from nothing, because they are the ones who keep you in the game, and create the stage on which the likes of Suarez or Coutinho can do their magic.
Would love to see him play a more advanced role his weight on the pass as u say is superb how many of those superbly weighted passes for someone to run on to have we seen in his few appearances since joining us , hes a delight to watch. Hes what I call a flair player...at one time most players had to possess a certain minimum degree of "flair" or they would never break into the starting line up at a club .These days many make the squad without any flair simply because they possess the discipline to adhere to the coach's "system"...Our flair players currently Stevie G
Louis Suarez Couhtino right now for me thats about it we need to locate more of these type of players and stop buying in "squad players" weve enough of them as it is...we need three more flair players to get us back where we should be...top of Prem !

Will an "energy revolution" restore U.S. manufacturing?
January 21, 2013 - LM Editorial
As noted in our news section, the IHS special report suggests that new domestic energy sources will have provide logistics managers with new challenges and choices.
Other key points in this special IHS report include:
The paper predicts that non-OPEC supply growth in 2013 will be 1.1 million barrels per day – larger than the growth in global demand – which has happened only four times since 1986. Leading this non-OPEC growth is the surge in unconventional oil in the United States. The report does warn, however, that increases in non-OPEC supply elsewhere in the world could be subject to what has proved to be a recurrent "history of disappointment."
Growth in world demand in 2013 is likely to be about 1 mmillion barrels per day, well below the pre-economic crisis levels. This, according to the report, reflects not only the economic downturn, but also "post-peak demand" in the OECD countries. OECD demand in 2012 was almost 10 percent lower than the 2005 peak.
"The North American unconventional oil and gas revolution is having profound effects on the global chemistry industry," with petrochemical investment in North American "being reignited," writes IHS Chemical Chief Advisor Gary Adams in the report "Energy derived raw materials represent as much as 75 percent of total petrochemical production costs."
The uneven global economic recovery will lead to varying impacts and challenge for the automobile industry around the world. China will be at the top, with 20.5 million cars sold in 2013, compared to 17 million in 2010. Recovery is clear in the United States, with 15.1 million new car sales 2013, compared to 11.6 million in 2010 – but still well below the 17 million peak registered in 2005.
- The continuing impact of the recession is evident in Europe, where new car sales will be 18.1 million units, below the 18.4 registered during the downturn in 2010. The same holds true for Japan, with 4.7 million cars sold in 2013, compared to 4.9 in 2010. "The global recession has coincided with a global shift towards emerging markets," writes IHS Automotive Senior Director Philip Gott in the report. He adds that the oil and gas revolution is only one of many challenges facing the auto industry. Perhaps the most burning issue is that "The consumer's love affair with the automobile may be turning into a star-crossed relationship."

How to Handle a Breakup Like a Celebrity
Since most women tend to come more slowly than men do, use strategic foreplay techniques to bring you closer to the brink. Any sensation that involves rubbing against your clitoris will boost blood flow to your V-zone and get you extra turned on. Cross your legs, squeeze them together, and grind your pelvis against his body, your fingers, or a vibrator.
Slow his pace to the Big O (to match yours) by limiting the amount of rhythmic stimulation you give him. For example, get him crazy hot by sliding your hand along his penis using a tight, wet grip for just a minute, but before he gets too steamed up, switch to some gentle warm-up moves, like running your tongue around the head of his penis. That way you'll control (but still maintain) his arousal. (Bonus: The mix of peaks and plateaus will intensify his eventual climax.)

Officers were dispatched to the Citibank branch at 760 East Lake Ave. around 4:30 p.m. for a silent hold-up alarm. The suspect was gone by the time officers arrived.
Witnesses reported that a man walking up to the front entrance of the bank and placed a white, plastic Halloween-type mask over his face just before entering. Once inside, he displayed a handgun and pointed it at several bank employees, ordering them not to move.
The man then demanded the bank employees give him the cash in their teller drawers, which they did. No customers were in the bank at the time and no employees were injured.
The man was spotted running from the bank, on to Tuttle Avenue, and then getting into the front passenger seat of a green Honda sedan driven by another man. Officers searched the area for the car and the suspect but were unsuccessful.
Police ask anyone who can identify the suspect to contact the investigations bureau at 768-3350 or call the anonymous tipline at 768-3544.

Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
Protein Engineers Recognized for Advances in...
The need to preserve biological material—whether as a reference archive, a repository for future research, for potential therapeutic use, or as the basis of ongoing drug discovery or production—seems to be growing at an exponential pace.
From the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood to preservation of transgenic mouse tails, researchers and clinicians alike are constantly faced with challenges of conflicting, confusing, and ever-changing regulatory oversight, expensive cold storage chain logistics, demanding colleagues, unreliable data collection, and unidentifiable samples.
Yet with challenges come innovations—many of which were discussed at the "World Biobanking Summit," held as part of the inaugural "European Laboratory Automation" conference.
Identification and validation of targets, identification of drug compounds, and identification and development of biomarkers are all done on biobanked tissue, said Antje Stratmann, Ph.D., global biomarker research at Bayer HealthCare.
The company has a centralized repository where biological samples from animals, disease models, patients, and healthy individuals are housed.
The biobank acts like a bank safe, with a constant supply of samples being deposited and withdrawn. It provides high-quality samples and their associated comprehensive clinical dataset for bioanalytics, both internally and to Bayer's international network of collaborators.
This all has to be under strict compliance with legal, ethical, biosafety, biotechnology, standard operating procedures (SOPs), data privacy, and IT guidelines, Dr. Stratmann noted. "And the centralization insures best practice and, in particular, compliance.
"It makes no sense for each project leader to take responsibility on his own to get this tissue, because you also need the clinical network."
To assure that the best use is made of the centrally banked tissue, Bayer has instituted a three-tiered decision tree to determine access. The request value is judged by biobank staff based on defined criteria in order to avoid conflicts.
Green-lighted tissue—the easiest to obtain, such as healthy control blood samples—can be used for just about any project, including optimization of IHC process. Yellow-lighted tissue—"the vast majority of our biobanks"—can be used only for established protocols. And red-lighted tissues—specific studies from the company, for example—are considered the highest value and are restricted to particular projects.
