    Spring 2011 Newsletter USJLP Delegates Join Disaster A special message from Relief Efforts in Iwate Prefecture George Packard I want to send deepest condolences to all who have been affected by the events of March 11 and afterwards. It has been a time of terrible tragedy for our Japanese friends and deep concern on the part of millions of Americans who have been touched by these events. Our US-Japan Leadership network of Fellows, delegates and friends has generated a torrent of messages of concern and an extraordinary outpouring of sympathy and offers to help. If there is any silver lining to be found in all this, it is the reaffirmation of the value of our program, where Japanese and Americans have learned to communicate and share their deepest feelings with each other. We are determined to go forward, and we Laura Winthrop (11,12) surveys the devastation in Ofunato, Iwate. believe this summer's conference in Kyoto, She and Spencer Abbot (10,11) share their experiences working with the U.S. government and with volunteer NGOs to assist Japan Hiroshima and elsewhere will be more in this unprecedented time of need.

Chatham House is independent and owes no allegiance to any government or to any political body. It does not take institutional positions on policy issues. This document is issued on the understanding that if any extract is used, the author(s)/ speaker(s) and Chatham House should be credited, preferably with the date of the publication or details of the event. Where this document refers to or reports statements made by speakers at an event every effort has been made to provide a fair representation of their views and opinions, but the ultimate responsibility for accuracy lies with this document’s author(s). The published text of speeches and presentations may differ from delivery. US Election Note: International Trade Policy after 2012 Introduction The 2012 presidential election is occurring as the US economy emerges from a significant recession. While trade is (a small) part of the campaign debate, it remains an emotional ‘wedge issue’ for the electorate, as it has been for the last 25 years. In January 2013, the new administration will address issues such as job creation, free trade agreements (FTAs), trade promotion authority (TPA, also called ‘fast track’ authority), and the trade deficit. Exogenous factors such as the unemployment rate, which party controls Congress and the global economic climate will dictate the speed and scope of engagement, and trade is likely to remain a political battleground for the foreseeable future.

  • Norcal Running Review's Second Annual Photographic Competition
    1978 (#74) THE NEW LDV. THE EVOLUTION OF THE REVOLUTION. When we built the original LD-1000, we threw away the book of traditional running shoe ideas, and started a revolution. It was a radically new shoe that combined our famous Waffle sole with a super-wide flared heel to give runners stability and traction like never before. Now comes an evolutionary shoe that grew out of the original revolution. The LDV For some runners, it will be a better shoe. Others will still want the original. We’ve reduced the flare of the heel. Opened the toe. And built the LDV on a vector last shaped to the natural axis of your foot to decrease over-pronation. The outer sole is made from tougher rubber with a new Waffle sole pattern that has stabilizers for longer wear. The new LDV We built it because we never stop working to build something better.
