Study eyes air quality, diet (from The Herald Journal, by Kevin Opsahl)
USU teams up with USANA Health Sciences to look at ways to keep people healthy through inversion
Utah State University and a Utah-based global nutritional supplement company are teaming up in a study to better understand the connection between dietary antioxidants and the impact of pollution on the respiratory systems of children and the elderly.
The results could lead to better knowledge of what vitamins and minerals provide for the most healthy diet during the winter months in Cache Valley, a time where air quality is at its worst.
USU professors say the poor quality comes because high pressure systems act as a lid to trap pollutants from car exhaust and wood-burning chimney fires.
The USTAR-funded Applied Nutrition Research team at USU and the company, USANA Health Sciences, will begin recruiting participants for the double-blind study starting today. The actual study will begin next year.
"I think it's always been an important issue to study," said Michael Lefevre, a USTAR professor in USU's College of Agriculture focusing on overall human health and personalized medicine. "Response to air pollution is ... the 18th leading
cause of death in the world."
Lefevre said they want to see if there are "things we can do personally" to minimize the adverse effects of air pollution — "and if we can extend it into people's diet, then that would be the next step."
Once the subjects are chosen — between 60 and 70 of them — they will come in every two weeks from January to March to receive supplements, which will be off-the-shelf for the purposes of the study.
Lefevre blamed the quality of the air in Cache Valley on small particulate pollution, which can get into the bloodstream, lodge in the lungs and cause irritation and inflammation, he said.
"The supplement packs (in the study) will hopefully work against those mechanisms," Lefevre said.
Such supplements could be the answer to reducing problems at-risk groups can have with their lungs. Utah's supplement industry represents $6.1 billion in annual revenue, said Tamara Goetz, state science adviser in the Governor's Office of Economic Development.
"The partnership (between USU and USANA Health Sciences) exemplifies the USTAR mission — to move university research out of the lab for economic impact within the state. We're particularly excited to see innovative research at USU supporting one of Utah's most significant economic engines, the dietary supplement industry," Goetz said in a statement.
Janet Bergeson, the clinic coordinator for the study, said people can still experience lesser effects from the air, including a burning feeling in their eyes and a shortness of breath.
The clinical study will be conducted at the USTAR BioInnovations Center located on the Utah State University Innovation Campus, which opened last year.
Recruitment is now under way — Cache Valley residents in general good health between the ages of 55 to 80 interested in participating in this study may visit http://anr.usu.edu for more information. Questions may be directed to 435-797-4226 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am looking at buying a serger machine. I have never had one. My question is which one do you recommend? I am excited to get one now that I have been looking at them.

I am looking at buying a serger machine. I have never had one. My question is which one do you recommend? I am excited to get one now that I have been looking at them.
I recently got the Brother 1034D for a basic model. So far it works fine and I have had no problems with it.
I have the Brother 1034D for about 2 yrs now and I just love it very user friendy easy to tread. Love It.:thumbup:
A serger will last you a long time! So buy the best one that you can afford! I am still using the same one that I purchased 32 years ago.It's on it's 3rd. motor and going strong! It's been through 5 kids, 16 grandkids, and 5 greatgrands so far! Which ever machine you choose, just remember to keep it well serviced and maintained. Mawluv
Baby Lock with the burst of air threader.What a nice machine.Won't sit there like allot of sergers because of threading problems. Like Mawluv said get the best you can afford.
Toni C is right that if you can afford one that threads easily, you will be happier.
I have Babylock Proline my husband bought 15 or 15 years ago. To this date, it is still going. I love having a serger, made a lot of napkins, doll clothes etc.
Whatever you get, make sure it's a self-threader!
I recommend one of the Baby Lock self threaders. They are wonderful! I bought the Evolution earlier this year and I love it.
I agree with everyone, I have a Baby Lock with the self-threading feature and it is so nice. However, if you can only afford a basic serger, the most important feature to me would be self-adjusting tension. My first serger didn't have that and I was forever breaking thread and having to rethread (and no self-threading). Rarely do I break a thread with the self-adjusting tension.

University Orchestra to open 2005-06 season, Oct. 21-22
Posted October 18, 2005; 05:09 p.m.
The Princeton University Orchestra will open its 2005-06 concert season at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21-22, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
The orchestra, under the direction of Michael Pratt, will perform the music of Sergei Prokofiev, Leonard Bernstein and Hector Berlioz.
Prokofiev's overture to the ballet "Trapeze" received its first (and last) performance in 1925. After the premiere, Prokofiev broke up the score for use in other works. The overture has been reconstructed by London-based composer Samuel Becker, and these performances will be the North American premiere of the work.
Also on the program will be Bernstein's suite from the 1954 Academy Award-winning film "On the Waterfront." "Contrary to the usual practice, Leonard Bernstein completed the score before the film was shot, yet the fusion of music and drama is perfect," said Pratt. "The events and flavor of this powerful film shine through in this brilliant score."
Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique," the third piece on the program, is considered the most popular work of the 19th-century French composer. A semi-autobiographical composition, the symphony vividly depicts the tortures of an unrequited love from the point of view of a young man who has taken opium in his despair.
Tickets for the concerts are available online or by calling the Richardson box office at (609) 258-5000.

Hello there. I am a mom of two. A 5 year old baby girl and a 2 month old baby boy. Is there any chances for sibling rivalry in part of my 5 year old daughter? She seems to have a lot of tantrums from these past few months.
26th August 2012 11:05 AM #2
Having a new baby around is stressful for older children. I wouldn't necessarily consider it "sibling rivalry" but there is a chance that your daughter may have a difficult time learning to share her parents and space with.
I would make a concerted effort to ensure your older child is getting quality, personal attention whenever possible.That and time will likely reduce the tantrums and other negative behavior.
27th August 2012 09:14 AM #3
I would encourage you to include your daughter as much as possible in helping with the baby. She can bring you nappies, wipes, clothing, burp clothes, nursing pads and blankets. She can burp the baby on her shoulder while you sit next to her.
You can also encourage her to help you in the kitchen. She's at a wonderful age now where you can make cookies with her, or teach her how to scramble eggs and peel carrots.
If you start to incorporate her more into the daily chores (washing down the bathroom, emptying the little waste baskets, etc.) she will feel like she's mommy's big helper, and this should feel special to her because baby can't do these things yet. Praise her for her help. Snuggle her and read a book to her while you breastfeed the baby.
I think that if you do some of these things you'll find that the tantrums will diminish/stop and she will not develop any sibling rivalry with her baby brother.
Let me know what you think.
Warm regards,

Thank you so much for all the replies. I am actually doing some of the suggestions and I think my daughter is enjoying it.
2nd September 2012 10:34 AM #5
So glad to hear that you've started incorporating some new ideas and that your daughter seems to be enjoying it.
If she continues with any tantrums, then there are ways to "nip those in the bud", so to speak, so they don't continue. Poor behavior should never be tolerated, and a child will learn that it's not okay to throw a tantrum if you let them know their boundaries and don't give in when they push those boundaries.
If she continues to throw tantrums and you want ideas for how to stop them, feel free to post back.
Warm Regards,

I think that's what you meant - with my Mining Engineers background I know a couple of things about water rights, but certainly do not have the knowledge of a specialist in the field. With my 1st job in CO at Climax I learned more. It is a property right, talk to the grazers of the National Forest about that though I do not agree with their logic. If there is a higher & better use for that water they can buy the right as Denver did with many of the small ranches on the Western slope of the state or as Denver did in proving the reservoir they have by Dillon, again on the western slope. Should a city be able to transfer water from one drainage into another? That may be why congress OK'd the Arkansas-Frying Pan transfer from East to West to balance that appropriation by Denver?Originally Posted by JD
I have an issue with free flowing streams going to benefit a few - it shows in most areas of low rainfall like MT. I believe it alters the balance of nature where many could enjoy the benefits to benefit only a few. I consider the Environmental Working Group a blessing. The idea of an $11,000,000 exemption (for large Farmers & Ranchers) on inheritance is not in my vocabulary. IMO, if those places were broken up it would benefit the nation long term, some destruction being beneficial. When Jon Kyl was Sen R-AZ he had proposed that they pay tax on the gain at the capital gains rate, which I believe fair. Bob Dole had shepherded a rider through congress that allowed the Gallo winery to avoid the tax on $200,000,000 so I voted for a minority candidate for POTUS.
We live on a small acreage with much attendant wildlife. There will be a time when I am no longer able to keep this property up which will change our lifestyle & attendant quality of life unless we are able to find something that fits. I do not need to blow holes in the sky to appreciate the winged creatures, those four legged critters or the crawly things that affect the balance of nature.

I'll add for Marvin, that I know few farmers in the MRGCD, not that I know a few. Self-Appointed Police on RTF PP run the gamut, from spelling, syntax, grammar, punctuation, political philosophy, etc. Others feel compelled to edit posts at their whim, believing that they know better what the poster was saying. You know, the 'I fixed it for you' syndrome. (I've been guilty).
Marvin, I am no expert on water rights either. The system in NM is highly convoluted with pre-emminent rights, 1908 rights, rights established in the 40's and 50's by the Bureau of Reclamation. Water pacts formed at that time maybe just as out of date as section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of the 60's. On the Rio Grande we are witnessing a complete reversal of what were thought to be 'good' management plans a few decades ago. Sometimes engineers are forced to re-evaluate and concede their mistakes. I'm sure that has never happened to you? Right?
I do believe in free flowing rivers. The Rio Grande has never been dammed for hydro-electification, but it has been dammed for irrigation in the desert. The winged, four-legged, and crawly critters have been negatively impacted.
When you are no longer able to care for your property, try to make sure it goes into a protected status for the future. OK?

In the end, what do you all think of the outcome of the recent skirmish? Did the POTUS win the battle of sequestration? Or did the Rs gain some stature by standing firm?
As it turns out, due to the narrow scope of sequestration cuts, about 9% decrease falls in certain areas and 13% in defense. Obviously, when the POTUS' team presented this measure, they were betting that the Rs would not let defense take such a big hit, so they would "deal". But does any of us believe that the Defense Dept/Military doesn't waste at least 13% of their money? There has always been ample furor that they do so. Even if you support strong defense, one can believe this is true. Now they should go find out where the waste is, and keep the country safe as they are all sworn to do.
Truthfully, many citizens have had to cut their budgets by that much during this administration. Remember that food and energy are NOT included in the COL index. So, those in the middle and lower classes have also had their budgets cut more heavily than inflation or decreased compensation would indicate. The latter ran about 4% combined, the cost of food and energy have easily run into double digits (maybe triple digits for energy).
Will private sector actually cut jobs due to the sequester? 750,000 jobs cited by Sperling ... 1 million work for govt. Will 3/4 of govt jobs disappear? Private sector should actually be a bit more optimistic that govt spending is somewhat cut back ... though some of those jobs are dependent on govt spending. Some companies will be affected more than others.
Did the POTUS' "sky is falling" tactic, hurt his credibility?
However, with Obamacare coming into implementation simultaneously, will it make it more difficult to tell which jobs are lost due to the sequester or the effects of Obamacare? Maybe that was part of the POTUS' strategy WRT making a sequester deal impossible? People won't blame Obamacare; they will blame sequester. They will forget that both were his idea No-win situation for the opposite side.
Will someone finally decide that the screws should be put to the Senate for failing to do its job in passing a budget?
It occurs to me that most of Congress and the POTUS are already independently wealthy. If ANY of them wanted to show their seriousness about cutting spending ... their pay cannot be cut (by law), but couldn't they all voluntarily contribute their compensation back to the Treasury? or part of it? or cut back their own spending within their offices? It could be voluntary ... not a law, but a resolution of the Congress. How about a resolution for each Congressperson to reduce their office expenditures by 10%.
Rand Paul presents the Treasury with a check each year for the $ allocated to his office that he does not spend, through his frugal management. Shouldn't there be a cap on "franking" privileges (which are often used for campaigning)? What about expenditures for furniture and other "fixture" niceties?

Roland Alpha Juno 2
This is an upgraded version of the Alpha Juno 1. It adds an extended 61 note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch and an external memory cartridge slot. Other than that it has the same great sound and features as the Juno 1. Sliders and buttons were replaced by membrane buttons and the Alpha Dial which is used to edit and browse through the extensive selection of parameters: DCO digitally controlled oscillators, LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF (filter) with freq/env/res/lfo/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more.
Adequate in the studio or on the stage, the Juno 2 has 64 presets and 64 user memory patches, a nice LCD display, an LFO capable of a very slow rate for some cool sweeping effects, and a great bass sound (especially nice for acid basslines) and noise effects! It also has chord memory which is perfect for rave & techno, portamento and keyboard transposing. The PG-300 Synthesizer Programmer gives you traditional slider control of each parameter for much easier and faster editing.
The HS-80 is an Alpha Juno 2 for the casual home user, with a slightly less appealing cosmetic appearance. The Alpha Junos have been used by Mundo Muzique, Vince Clarke, Matt Megaton Haines, Paul Hardcastle, Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack, Bomb the Bass, The Prodigy, Faithless, Youth, Joey Beltram and Human Resource.

Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3 motherboard
Corsair 8GB XMS3 DDR3 ram
Intel Core i3 2120 processor
OCZ Vertex Plus 64gb SSD DoubleSight
DS-90UT touchscreen monitor
picoPSU-160-XT power supply
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
All in a 2002 Ford Focus ZX5
ok now that being said this is what i want to do....
using RFID implant i would like to be able to..
Arm and disarm alarm
open hatch
Start and stop car
log in to computer system/optional
but i do not know where to begin
I was looking at the 3x13 chip and the red bee
but again i don't know.

Well now, that sounds like quite the project. Luckily the RFID portion shouldn't be too difficult, except maybe the OS X login part - I'm a PC guy and have no idea how that might work.
The easiest way to work with the alarm is to hack an alarm remote/keyfob and attach it to an RFID reader using a reed relay. Using a 7343 flip-flop IC, you can then make each read toggle lock/unlock button presses, i.e. 1st read "presses" the unlock button, 2nd read "presses" the lock button, 3rd read "presses" the unlock button, etc.
For the open-hatch functionality, if your hatch is controlled by the same remote/keyfob, you can wire in another reader at the back of the car and run wires to the same hacked keyfob used for the alarm. That's the way my VW GTI works. No flip-flop IC needed here, just tie the reader directly into the keyfob via reed relay.
To start and stop the car, that requires some additional research. Most cars have anti-theft devices built in that make "hotwiring" the car much more difficult. Most of the time this means there is actually an RFID tag (usually a TI 134KHz tag) built into the plastic housing of the car key that interacts with an RFID reader antenna ring built into the keyslot. If you have a copy of the car key, but this copy does not have the RFID tag built in, you can turn the key but the car will not start. If your car has this type of anti-theft protection, you will have to remove it or otherwise figure out a way to circumvent it. If your car does not have one of these types of anti-theft devices, then adding RFID to your vehicle's key system should be fairly straight forward.
When talking about implants, I would get the system working with the glass tag first, before implanting it. If everything works at decent ranges with the tag out of the body, then look at getting one implanted.
Now, for reader hardware. The best reader hardware I've found that works with both automotive applications and glass tags is one sold on eBay by a couple different sellers. It is no longer made anymore, but there are stockpiles of 10,000+ of this unit available so there's no worry about running out any time soon. The reader has a cylindrical antenna that works well with the cylindrical glass tags, and is also separate from the main unit which helps with difficult antenna placement requirements. It is typically sold with a master tag (used for programming) and two keyfob tags, and looks like this; http://amal.net/caps/2012-03-22_12-17-04.png

ok so far i have takin care of the RFID chip in the key and the remote start/security combo is a Viper 5902 HD. This may sound stupid but what is the 7343 flip-flop IC? Where would i get this from? Ok basically i want a NO key solution for everything. I am sick of my keys lol!

Cool man, a flip-flop is an IC that basically lets you convert a pulse type signal into a toggle type signal.
Here are two place you can find flip-flops;
Basically what it does it goes between the RFID reader and the lock and unlock buttons of your keyfob/remote. The flip-flop IC listens for a signal to come in on it's input pin, then it picks only one of two output pins to "turn on". It then remembers which pin it last "turned on", so the next signal to come in through the the input pin will trigger the flip-flop to "turn on" the other output pin, flip-flopping between the two pins. In practical use, it would work like this; you pass a valid RFID tag over the reader, and the reader "turns on" a 12v signal. That signal goes into the flip-flop IC and OUT1 turns on. Well OUT1 is connected to a reed relay that acts like a button press for the LOCK button on your remote. The next time you pass a valid tag over the reader, the signal is sent out, and the flip-flop then "turns on" the OUT2 pin, which powers a different reed relay that acts like a button press for the UNLOCK button on your remote... etc.
Make sense?
The specifics of connecting the reader to flip-flop to keyfob requires some electrical components like reed relays and possibly switching transistors and/or resistors. The 12v signal coming from the RFID reader will likely be too high a voltage for the flip flop... but maybe not. There are many different kinds of flip-flop ICs out there. Also, you can't feed the signal coming out of the flip-flop directly into the keyfob... you need to use that signal to close a relay. When the relay closes, it acts just like the button on the keyfob, which closes the circuit when you press it down.

It can be thrown in the dryer or steamed easily if required. The color rendition pops and it projects realism like never before! If you have not tried a Denny Freedom Cloth® backdrop, I urge you to because I know you will never return to the old style of Hand-Painted Muslin backdrops.

Comments about Generalaire GFX3 Automatic Digital Humidistat:
The instructions warn the buyer to have a professional install the device. I'm the average home handyman type. After buying a few extra items, i.e. wire and a extra transformer, the installation was simple. The relative humidity in my house has never been this constant. I would reccomend this product for anyone who has a furnace mounted humidifier.

A cold-weather favorite, this all-beef, no-bean chili gets added appeal from a seasonal ingredient: butternut squash. For best results, make the chili at least one day ahead so that the flavors have time to meld.
Leave a Review
Wow, this is amazing, it so good. It takes 1/2 a day to make this and you need at least a 6 quart pot, I used a 4 and had to take some of the liquid out so I could keep adding other ingredients. It's pretty thick as a result. But wow, what a taste and it was hardly a day old when I tried it, I can't wait to try it again tonight.
I used six dried organic "New Mexican Red Chili" and the "medium hot" chili powder from Penzeys Spices. I served over brown rice - as I was a bit worried it might be too hot.The Chili had a nice burn - tasty and not too hot.I thought the squashes provided a nice counterpoint to the heat in the meat. Got raves from the hubby. Definitely going to be a standard at our house!
I followed the recipe closely and it was great. I found the heat level ok, but family thought it a little to hot. I made it with brisket but per other reviews stew meet or other cuts should work. The chunkiness of the brisket makes it great.
When I first made this recipe I used dried chipotle chiles which made it spicier and provided more flavor. I actually won a chili cook off with this recipe HOWEVER it was only among the people in my office and the competition wasn't that fierce. I would say stick with the recipe as stated if you don't want it too spicy but add the chipotles if you want it a bit spicier.
Not a bad start. I liked the idea of using brisket. Not sure what the squash adds but it doesn't hurt. My suggestions: 1. Drop the unspecified chili powder and double up on the dried chilis. Mix up the types for added complexity. 2. Double up on the other spices. 3. Toast the chilis before soaking. Toast the cumin and coriander seeds (grind them after they cool.) 4. Trim most of the fat cap from the brisket (it doesn't totally break down.) Brown the meat in the bacon fat after removing the browned bacon (add it back later). 5. Even with the doubled dried chilis its pretty mild. That may be good depending on your audience. If you like it hotter add some chopped green hot chilis, chipoltes in adobo, cayanne powder, etc. with the other wet stuff.
Definitely Not Texas Chili. I was very disappointed with the results. First, the recipe definitely needs more heat. It was incredibly bland. Second, the butternut squash really doesn't add anything to the flavor, and could be considered just a substitute for beans. Third, the chunkiness of the beef and squash make it more like a soup than a chili from a texture point of view. Suggestions: 1. Use hotter chilis, such as chipotle. 2. Use a ground beef, not chunked. You'll get a better overall texture. 3. If you use the butternut squash, then mash it up, for texture purposes.
What a difference a day makes! Don't even try to eat this on the same day you make it. I thought I had failed and almost threw it out. I served it the following afternoon with family and it was a total crowd pleaser. Even my 10 year old daughter asked for seconds. Great with some shredded cheddar and cold beer. Real football food!
I made this last weekend; it was GREAT! I used a 6-1/2 lb beef brisket flat, but I trimmed the fat off very closely. I advise not using the cap, too fatty, too much trim work. Otherwise I followed the recipe closely except I roasted the squash with a little oil and spices before adding to broth and meat. DEFINITELY will make again
I make this chili often and once received an offer of marriage after serving it at a party. I took this as a positive review. I have my butcher cut up the brisket and then I remove any extra fat. I also add a few chocolate chips at the end to add the mole flavor. I often make it prior to serving it, so refrigerating it overnight makes it easy to remove the extra fat. I love how the butternut squash balances the spiciness of the sauce. This is a fabulous recipe. I serve it with corn bread, fresh cilantro, and shredded co-jack cheese.
I made this last night and I loved it. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception that I did not have any coriander. I am not sure why everyone thinks this is greasy as it says right in the directions to use a spoon to remove all the fat that collects. I did this and did not have any issues what so ever with grease.

The mysterious pyramid-shaped mountain bearing the ruined fortress of Sartaba rises dramatically from the northern Jordan Valley west of the main road (road 90). It is mentioned in ancient Jewish sources as the second station from which signal fires were relayed from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem to announce the New Moon to Babylonia. Indeed, when you're standing at the top of the mountain, the view is breathtaking: below is the green Jordan Valley with its modern farming communities contrasting with the surrounding wilderness, to the east across the Jordan are the mountains of Moab and Gilead, west takes in Samaria, and to the north is Galilee.
Built in the first century BCE by the Hasmonean King Alexander Jannaeus, descendent of the Judah the Maccabee, Sartaba served the Hasmoneans in their battles with the Romans. Later, Herod's two sons by his Hasmonean wife Mariamne (Herod executed all three) were buried here. At the end of a very strenuous one-kilometer climb to the fortress, you can see the remains of huge water cisterns, a Hasmonean-era wall that collapsed in an earthquake, heart-shaped stone column-drums from a Herodian terrace, and part of the water system.
The difficult path to Sartaba should be done with a guide. Tours can be arranged through the Society for the Protection of Nature's Kfar Etzion or Ofra field schools.

What a God-awful mess this is turning into ... now the intel people are saying that maybe the Benghazi attack wasn't all that well planned; and it might have had some relationship to the protest in Cairo, which, it appears, is still being attributed to the video ... even though the A-Q flag was a prominent element in that protest.
Then the WH accuses of endangering Libyans mentioned in State Dept documents (unclassified) that were made public by Issa. Issa shot back that they allowed the State Dept two weeks to review the docs & make redactions; and that Issa's committee, themselves, made some redactions ... and that nothing they released revealed the names of an Libyans who would not be expected to have contact with Americans (maybe some providing various kinds of common services or supplies?). Of course the accusation of endangerment of these Libyans is cited as being important because of A-Q dangers in Benghazi.
Is it possible that the details of this whole event have now become so mangled and obfuscated that we will never really know how badly it was bungled? It's over a month later, and the facts are still all snarled up. If the people in charge of all this stuff are this messed up, they sure do need somebody put in charge of this that can shape up the intel services ... or we are surely in deep doo-doo if this is the best these guys can do.

Jennifer Loved the scenery (so beautiful) and loved what the dogs did. They probably are very fit and agile. No collars on. Certainly different than our DVD's setup. Of course they are for Gundogs!

Hard to find out how to get these videos when you live over here. We have a guy flying 2 labs and a springer over from Ireland this week, trying to find a way to get him to pick up a few copies and bring them over.

Right now you can just "pre-order" them. Not sure when they are actually ready. I'll try and find out. You can order them from the Dog and Country web site, which I'll find the link for. The price is 99 British Pounds which I think is about $159 for the set.
Here's the link for ordering: http://www.dogandcountry.tv/list.php?mid=252

I'm not interested in field trials, either (and have nothing against those who are), so stuff beyond "Transition" isn't all that helpful to me.
Maybe I should add that the latest fad breedings aren't a cure-all, either, and breeding for a more "complete" dog would be nice... One of the nicest dogs's I've know had a local non-famous, non-FT pedigree. His owner summed up fad breeding this way, "You wouldn't let someone do brain surgery on you just because his parents were neurosurgeons, would you?"
Milner and Stewart's stuff might work fine, too. I haven't tried their approach.
Ultimately, the trainer has to "read" the dog. Some folks is better at that than others...

"Prepare your dog in such a manner that the work he is normally called upon to do under-whelms him, not overwhelms him." ~ Evan Graham
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
― George Bernard Shaw
The Smartwork System for Retriever Training (link)
Duck was Mr. Wolters' final lab, and as far as I know, Charlie Jurney did almost all the training with "Duck".
It was watching Mr. Wolters handle Duck in a NAHRA test that I learned first hand, the caution one must use in saying the dog's callname. Duck had been trained to release for marks on his callname - "Duck". Mr. Wolters was handling Duck in a Senior NAHRA test and they were honoring. Duck had crept a bit, and Mr. Wolters tried to quietly control him. He was starting to say "Duck, here". He only got the first word out - and Duck broke.
I probably still have the issue of the NAHRA News article where Mr. Wolters wrote a column called "Wolters Speaks". In that, not long before his death, he wrote about the virtues of e-collar training, collar conditioning, and force fetch. Although 'til the day he died, he would openly tell folks that he did not "Force Fetch" his dogs. In reality though, his final dog Duck, absolutely was force fetched and collar conditioned by Charlie Jurney.
By the time Mr. Wolters' life was passing, I do believe he was beginning to understand that there may be other ways to train that could give a bit more effectiveness than the sketchy methods he outlined in his books.
I have fond memories of running a blind with one of my dogs when Mr. Wolters was judging. It happened to be at the Stewart WMA in NY near the Airforce base, not far from Newburgh, NY. It was during "Desert Storm" and there were C5A cargo planes lifting off with regularity. I remember seeing Mr. Wolters jot the phrase "plane noise" on his notebook as my dog had a whistle refusal on a blind as one of those liftoffs was taking place.
It was just an mid-level blind, what NAHRA calls an "Intermediate" and I recall Mr. Wolters said we could stand anywhere we liked to launch our dogs. I remember it was a really sloppy marshy shore and my dog was not that good on water entry and was a big, big water cheater. I went back to my truck, put on chest waders, and walked out about chest deep, putting my dog on a hunk of floating mat, and kicked him off from there. I remember Mr. Wolters smiling and saying it was wise to take advantage of the leeway the judges give.
I found Mr. Wolters from that perspective to be a reasonable guy, who was focused on the intent of the hunt test programs at that point in time. He realized that like Omar Driskill used to say, the hunt tests were for the "muddy guys in camo".
It was at that same test that he phoned home to talk to his wife Olive, and she reported that his puppy "Duck" had just swam for the first time. Jack Scanlon was Mr. Wolters' co-judge that day.
One thing that has always amazed me is the "staying power" of Mr. Wolters' books. Just this week I was doing some Xmas shopping at a Cabela's and looked through the dog supplies. Sure enough, Mr. Wolters' books were there on the book rack. The only modern info that I recall seeing there was Chris Akin's material. I do think it is impressive that Mr. Wolters books continue to be prominently displayed at major retailers' locations for the training supplies.
I am sure that some of the things I do today with puppies, are things I picked up from Mr. Wolters' stuff. After a while, we pickup bits and pieces from all around and it just kind of becomes engrained in what we do. I would not say that his books are junk. I would say, that for anyone that wants an intermediate or advanced retriever that will handle and not cheat the bank, his material is of limited value.
Guys like Mike Lardy have taken those techniques that used to be part of the "inside society" who exchanged Rex Carr notes and photocopied them, and helped evolve them into something a bit more "novice-friendly", Shuffle-proofing, and available to the average guy.
Like many in today's dog games, Mr. Wolters had an ego. Mr. Wolters was a competitive spirit. Mr. Wolters was human....just as we all are.
While I don't bother opening his books to train at all today, I do believe Mr. Wolters helped make a mark on our sport in many ways.
Enjoyed that, Mr. Atkinson - thanks for sharing.
I had one more Wolters memory that I'd like to write about. It just popped into my mind and I've got the time to type.
My lab when I was in my early 20's was named "Champ". The RTF banner in the top left shows his good side. A professional photographer took many shots of us to get one that looked that good!
In Mr. Wolters later years, he did some part time work at the Manhattan Orvis shop, and Randy Carlson (now an exec at Lion Country Supply) was the store manager back then. I had befriended Randy through NAHRA and I got an invite to participate in the retriever demos done by MR. Wolters at an Okemo Mountain Resort event. It was held in conjunction with the World Sporting Clays championship.
Mr. Wolters was quite the showman, wearing his sportcoat and knickers with a bowtie. He talked up quite the public yarn as we demonstrated some retriever basics. He also spent lots of time autographing copies of his book - those folks brought from home to have him sign - and those that folks bought there at the show.
"Show Spot the pictures, you read the words, then both believe" ...was a common autograph he'd inscribe in the books.
We had a simple water retrieve around an oval pond. Randy Carlson and Reva would run the marks beautifully. Vito and Carrie (Angelone) but before Carrie married Vito, were there with a litter of puppies and of course all of Vito's dogs ran great. It was at that very event that Vito told me of the Kappes-Curtis and/or Carr-curtis tapes that were circulating around and how one could use this "new program" to get dogs to handle great. I finally learned what he was referencing when I chose to open my mind a bit and truly study Lardy's materials.
Champ, my big, clunky yellow lab was of common backyard breeding. He had one FC a few brackets back. FC Deltone Buck, I believe was the distant field champion on his pedigree. Poor Champ was hacked and mishandled by myself through lots of trial and error. I will never, ever forget coming to the line with great big "Champ" to run a water mark. Just as I was signalling for the mark, Mr. Wolters said into the microphone "By land or by sea?!!!"
Champ ran the bank, he got the mark, he never got a foot wet. I remember vowing that day to learn to train better and to get a better-bred dog later in my life.
Somewhere in this thread I read someone writing something about today's labs being of less natural ability than labs years ago. I would agree that there are many more pet labs out of questionable stock with questionable natural ability. This is just due to the sheer popularity of the breed. I would not agree that today's FC/AFC breedings in North America are producing animals of lesser "natural ability".
What's wonderful about today's retriever games around the world is that we have some very diverse games and desired qualities. The Brit games require very level-headed, even-keeled, calm, and rock-steady dogs that perform well under the excitement of many gunshots and chaotic settings. The USA trials require dogs with much more drive, liniing ability and pinpoint marking capabillity among tricky setups with multiple factors.
Simple logic would follow that if you take the top performers in either type game, and breed them to other top performers, after several generations, you're probably likely to produce puppies who are more likely to possess those qualities. That's selective breeding.
Those of us who think blondes are the most beautiful would probably not be likely to pick a brunette if we were judging a beauty pageant. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I like to think of my drives through Amish country when I think of retriever breedings. I frequently see two distinctly different types of horses in the Amish lots. There are gigantic horses, I'm not sure what they are technically called, but I call them "Draft Horses". There are also other style horses. They are smaller, leaner, faster looking horses. They both serve 2 different purposes - one pulls heavy stuff and gets major pulling done. The other is nimble and quick and is the horsepower behind the Amish buggies. The Amish don't argue about which is a better horse. Neither is truly better. One is better at some, and the other is better at a different set of performance skills.
Same with labradors - Brit versus North American Field.
Years ago when I ran NAHRA exclusively, I was a victim of breathing too much NAHRA air. When you breathe your own air too much, you get a closed mind. I used to think it was best and desireable that dogs running NAHRA be out of MHR x MHR breedings and that FC or MH was a bad thing. That's stupid logic!
I used to find it hypocritical that Jack Jagoda, back when he was with Diana at Southland, listed all these Field Trial titles in his breedings and litters. It used to bum me out that he did not more deliberately advertise NAHRA titled dogs as the breeding stock and not showcase the field titles. Decades later, I think I get it.
If you're happy with your dog, that's what matters. If you're happy with your training and results, that's what matters. It is totally possible that your tastes and needs will evolve over time. They may even come full-circle.
Here is a photo of me about 25+ years ago getting a ribbon from Richard Wolters. The ribbon was to my Tar and it was the first "gold" band awarded in NAHRA.
Chris those were good posts about RW and his contributions. Back in 1985-86 he was a big deal in my neck of the woods. Like many people I have outgrown his work. I don't know why the photo didn't scan in color because they did actually have color back in those days.

Thanks so much for posting that delicious snap of RW!
I don't have much to add to the discussion save that I too find his written works rather charming period pieces. You could still put together a decent retriever with his stuff, but time has moved on and better things are available. I put RW in the same bracket as his (approximate) UK equivalent Peter Moxon. I met PM several times and a nicer bloke never pulled on boots; he was a very fine writer, a great judge of a bottle of Burgundy, and an even greater judge of a well turned female ankle. Dog trainer? ... oh well.

Overview: I found this anime to be a light, cheery series of stories. While watching this anime, you will encounter a series of different stories (one each episode). All have one cynosure: the troubled lady who finds herself in an otherwise empty train with the "train stations" of the Oedo subway line. Each train station has a different appearance (but all are exceedingly attractive men), and a different personality that often suits the area around their station. There are three other characters as well: the mysterious conductor, a little girl who acts as a guide, and the dog Tokugawa. Scattered... See full review
I found out too late that this was 17+, but the storyline was excellent, so again, I was forced by my annoying "GOTTA FINISH ALL ANIMES I START WATCHING" bug in my head to finish -_-Even so, this anime was pleasing, I guess. It was VERY realistic. None of the events that occured were spoonfuls of some fantasy world at all. Actually, this was the most realistically painful anime I've ever watched! When I watched it, I felt like it was an actual story just put into animation!I must warn you if you are the sensitive type, this anime's manga was written by Ai Yazawa, who is a genious with storylines... See full review
Now this anime is endearingly painful, in my opinion. No no, it was charming, but painful near the end because the concluding episodes switched an innocent storyline into heart clenching reality, yet not reality.It's very difficult to explain, being only a young teen. I was instantly cold towards Hideki, the male protagonist in the story at the beginning, because he had such an 'adultish' mind... However, of course this changed, when I saw how devoted he slowly became to Chii, an innocent, cute, and in the beginning, literally air-headed persocom with no knowledge of anything in this world. I loved watching... See full review

Living In Tokyo's Capsule Hotels 269
afabbro writes "Capsule Hotel Shinjuku 510 once offered a night's refuge to salarymen who had missed the last train home. Now with Japan enduring its worst recession since World War II, it is becoming an affordable option for people with nowhere else to go. The Hotel 510's capsules are only 6 1/2 feet long by 5 feet wide. Guests must keep possessions, like shirts and shaving cream, in lockers outside of the capsules.

No smith is overrated n I think he loses focus at times n can be a detriment to the team besides the fins should be able to draft Rhodes with their first pick
No smith is overrated n I think he loses focus at times n can be a detriment to the team besides the fins should be able to draft Rhodes with their first pick
8 million randy starks or 8 million + to sean smith who got beaten likea drum last year s keyshon would say C'MON MAN
no nope nada
we have no corners including s/ smith they cant cover anyone marshall sucks just like coyle he is no good he took a good def and made it bad just like thinking marshall could cover someone what a joke
We should've franchised Smith because there's no one in free agency or the draft that can give 10-15 yard cushions on every single play.
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
f**k a sean smith... literally the worst hands on an nfl player we've ever seen. i wish someone would do a montage of all of his dropped ints
My mom can catch better than smith. And she can tackle better. Smith has nothing to show he is worth that.
I really liked ss and vd. Both are used up in Miami. I have seen enough of play 3 solid games and then **** your pants smith.
We had scrubs off the street that did just as good as smith. Time to get some real corners. Guys that have chip on their shoulder.
Play tough,aggressive ball. I want guys that go get the ball not wait for it to cuddle into your hands. Bye bye. Sean.
We would have paid him about $2mil per interception in his 4 year career - 5 in 63 games. He doesn't make any plays. He doesn't tackle well. He's not tough. He's a mental midget. He is a below average CB. His physical appearance is an illusion. It doesn't translate to anything good on the field. And he has a knack for coming up small in big moments. I would have traded him a year ago...

Has a Vader or Anakin been confirmed?
I know they're (he's) overdone in the figure lines, but, really, he IS the main character.

That's my jacket!
I bought all of wave 1, as well as Han. Leia and Greedo are too meh for me to bother with. I have yet to see Fett, arguably my (and apparently everyone else's) most desired figure.
"Chad Vader to aisle 5 for vomit cleanup. Chad to aisle 5 for vomit cleanup."
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Leia and Greedo are the early frontrunners for shelfwamers, and I've seen Han around a few times. Never seen a Boba Fett in the wild though.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I only picked up Boba Fett and Greedo. Han Solo looked like crap I thought. The next wave I am only gonna get Stormtrooper.
I went to Target yesterday and found about 5-6 each of Leia and Greedo, 1 Han Solo and not a single Boba Fett. Wave 1 seems to have completely sold out here as well.
Han Solo didn't really look that great to me. Definitely not $20 great. I didn't find a single Leia with a decent paint job and Greedo really bothers me because they made his head too danged small and the color of his eyes just looks completely wrong. Sure, I could repaint the eyes, but for $20 per figure I shouldn't have to.
I think I'm done with the 6" line. The Sandtrooper is my only 6" figure and that probably won't change for a long, long time… at least not until Hasbro fixes these quality control issues.
I'm seeing Leia everywhere, with Greedo almost as common and Han a bit rarer than Greedo (but still in most stores). Still have never seen Fett.
Good thing they're carrying over Han!
That's my jacket!
I am also seeing Leia everywhere. They should have put more detail into her. Looks like they just blew up the regular 3 3/4" Slave Leia and the same with bucktooth Luke X-Wing. I am definitely only buying items that actually look good such as the Sandtrooper and Boba Fett.
I've convinced myself that if I actually see a Fett in stores, I'll buy him. I had a coupon at B&N (which carries the 6" line, but at $24.95 ), but I couldn't bring myself to pick up Han (no desire for Leia, Luke, or Greedo; the other ones there).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Each of Barrique's pieces, from Angela Missoni's Swing Chair to the gorgeous Letizia Cradle shown above, is made from wood sourced from a 230 liter cask made from French Oak. After the barrels have been used for a maximum of five years to age wine, they are sent to the workshop to be turned into over 34 different works. The character of the hands working on every table and chair as well as the individuality of the wood gives every piece a distinctive personality, far from the monotony of prefabricated, flat-packed furniture. Sold through the San Patrignano network, Barrique directly benefits young people struggling with addiction.
The Barrique page offers a background for each piece, including preliminary sketches and a description by the designer explaining their inspirations and methods. Many of the architects drop into the workshop to meet the people bringing their drawings to life. Using reclaimed wood is certainly an enlightened way to upcycle a material that would normally be destroyed after a limited life span. It is also a potent symbol for the young people emerging from addiction, that everyone and everything deserves a second chance.
The catalog is available for download, and purchases may be made through the Barrique website.

Did you know?
The pioneering of Austrian scientist Gerti Theresa Radnitz Cori (1896-1984) and her husband, Carl Ferdinand Cori (1896-1957), transformed understanding of diabetes. They discovered the 'cycle of carbohydrates' or 'Cori cycle' – the biochemical process by which the body reversibly converts glucose to glycogen. Their work, for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1947, explained how carbohydrates supply energy to muscles during exercise; and how carbohydrates are regenerated and stored until needed again by the muscles. As well as the Nobel Prize, Dr Cori received many honours and awards during her life. The Cori crater on the moon is named after her.

|If there's good news coming out of Detroit, you can probably thank Dave Bing. It's not his first turn in the spotlight: he was a seven-time all-star in the NBA. Since becoming mayor of the beleaguered Motor City in 2009 after his predecessor's massive corruption scandal, he's worked to "right-size" the city, bring in young members of the creative class, and attract new business. But with massive deficits facing Detroit, it's unclear whether Bing will be able to beat the buzzer to prevent municipal bankruptcy.

|The folksy Harvard law professor became a national figure early in the Obama administration through her work in establishing the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. But after being denied the chance to run the new agency, she's proved she's not just a wonky egghead but a talented politician too. The first-time candidate quickly scared off several other candidates for the Democratic nod for Senate in Massachusetts, and her quick quips, populist chops, and impressive fundraising have Sen. Scott Brown, the Republican incumbent, running scared.

|Believe it or not, Democrats across the nation will be looking to Jon Tester in November as an augur of the party's future. Swept into the office in 2006 by liberal activists, he's faced a difficult balancing act ever since—he's not quite a conservative Democrat, but he's no lefty either. As he heads into a very tough reelection race against Rep. Denny Rehberg, his fate will say much about Democrats' ability to attract voters who aren't educated coastal elites, and therefore about the party's future viability.

|He might not be Obama's right-hand man anymore, but don't underestimate the prodigiously profane Emanuel, the newly elected mayor of Chicago. Rahmbo swears he's not interested in the presidency, but with his fundraising prowess, strong connections, and proven ability to do just about anything he wants to well, he'll remain a serious player in Democratic circles. Serving as the boss of a Democratic stronghold won't hurt either.

|How does a mild-mannered former Washington governor become a rising star? By heading overseas. After bringing the 2010 Census in $1.6 billion under budget as commerce secretary, he was detailed to China as ambassador, where he's become a hit with Chinese citizens (the Chinese government, not so much). Along with Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, he's part of a crew of young Democrats putting the Evergreen State on the political map.

|While other high-profile Tea Partiers have flamed out (think Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker) or simply sunk into obscurity and the Republican back benches, the New Hampshire senator's profile continues to rise. She's helping to bring back New England Republicanism—albeit in a more conservative guise that the old strain—and her endorsement in the 2012 GOP race was highly anticipated. Since backing Mitt Romney, he's even mentioned her as a potential running mate.

|Don't be fooled by his low poll numbers in the 2012 GOP race. The former Utah governor and ambassador to China might be losing the short game, but Huntsman is playing the long game. He'll come out of the race with much higher name recognition, right-wingers are coming around to his conservative bona fides, and liberals see in him a man they may disagree with but whom they can respect.

|The outpouring of pleas for the corpulent New Jersey governor to run for president—from the people and pundits alike—show how much sway he already has. His graceful exit from the race and dedication to his work in the Garden State made him look good and kept him in the national spotlight—unlike dithering Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who has practically disappeared. Though blustery, Christie has shown he's able to work across the aisle, and his approval rating at home is on the rise.

While Eric Cantor and John Boehner maneuver for titular leadership among congressional Republicans, Ryan is the undisputed intellectual leader for the party, leading its efforts on deficit-reduction, entitlement reform, and more.

The daughter of Indian immigrants, Nikki Haley swept into the South Carolina governor's mansion in 2010, defeating a more moderate—and better established—primary opponent along the way. Dubbed one of the Sarah Palin's "Mama Grizzlies," her endorsement has been one of the most highly sought by Republican candidates for 2012, and she's on most shortlists for the running-mate nod.

As far as changing the establishment, that begins with the electorate. They want more of the same as they have shown little interest in electing real reformers!
When your hear political repubs talking about balancing the budget, smaller Federal government, cutting spending, ending foreign welfare, ending Medicaid, free markets, auditing the Fed, just remember who has been saying the same thing for decades. Obama and the GOP candidates have all been parroting RP! Romney will get the nomination because he has money, has raised a lot of money especially through special interest super PACs and looks Presidential. Romney won the beauty contest!

Sg: Project Life 2013
Posted 24 January 2013 - 09:09 PM
SG Project Life is a year-long scrapping challenge. The goal is to stay current scrapping the year.
There is not a set form, you can take daily photos, scrap weekly layouts, monthly layouts or whatever works for you.
SG Project Life is similar to a Project 52 or 365 which are year long challenges of creating 52 weekly layouts (one for each week of the year) or taking 365 photos (a photo a day) and documenting them. We don't want overwhelm anyone with daunting requirements so we simply give you the challenge to document your year then let you approach this project in a way that meets your individual goals.
Here are some typical formats our members have chosen:
One layout for each week of the year (single or double pages)
A double page layout covering two weeks
One layout (single or double paged) per month
A monthly calendar style layout with or without a companion page.
Scrap the significant events from each month-- some months with more pages than others.
Use the new "Pocket Life" products to document your year.
You can choose one of these formats or create your own. The way you go about it is really up to you; however, we do have a few requirements if you wish to participate in the "official" SG Project Life for 2013 and be eligible for the associated prizes.
You must post your layouts to the SG Project Life Gallery in order for them to earn points toward the quarterly drawings and GRAND PRIZE.
You must use RECENT photos in your Project Life pages. This means photos taken in 2013 or within the last 6 months.
You must include at least one layout from each month of 2013 to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE.
If you are a hybrid or traditional scrapper, you are welcome to join the challenge too. Simply post photos or scans of your finished pages.
Quarterly Drawing Prize - Digital Layout Template
Winners will be randomly drawn from members who post layouts to the SG Project Life Gallery. Each layout uploaded to this Gallery earns 1 point, a double page earns 2, with a maximum number of points for a month being 4. You may upload more than 4 layouts if you are catching up, but you will only get 4 points for that month.
You can also earn an extra point for each Project SG Chat you attend. Watch the newsletter for the dates and times.
Grand Prize - $52.00 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate
Each person who completes layouts for the entire year of 2013 (at least one layout for each month of 2013) will be eligilbe for the Grand Prize drawing.
We will also have a special little surprise for those who complete all their layouts for the year by January 15, 2014.

I was all ready to go, but looking at that gallery, I'm not sure I'm up to it. I'll rethink it.
Ann, it won't be the same without you! Don't re-think too hard! I'm going to give it a try and see how well I keep up with it - being required to do one a month and not one every week was what drew me in and I think it will give me incentive to scrap a little bit more about my daily life. I may not make it through the year but going to give it a whirl! Please do! I'll cheer you on, if you'll cheer me on! I'll need little reminders! LOL

This is great, couldn't make the chat though. /> I am so anxious to see which format everyone decides to use!
I'm sticking with the same format as before - 1 LO per week - but I hope to incorporate the new Pocket Life products somehow.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 11:55 AM
I'm looking forward to documenting this year. I think the last Project SG I did was for 2009. I love looking back at that album.
The new pocket life products really inspired me. (Designers...make more! hint, hint, nudge, nudge lol)
I just posted my first 3 pages. The title page explains the method I'm using. I've got a few more to post...I'll probably wait until later tonight so they don't flood the gallery at once.
I don't know how many pages I'll have each week/month. Just depends on how many pictures I take.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 12:04 PM
Ann, Sara, there's no harm in trying! So, you don't get the whole year done, at least you get some months accomplished and are eligible for the monthly prizes.

I'm in. I always seem to wait until September to start on my layouts. I get them done, but it's stressful. Maybe this time, I'll get them done as the year progresses and won't have so much "scrapper's block". />

I think I'm in for the long haul, Monica but a little prodding now and again wouldn't hurt! LOL It was funny - I had already decided and started doing a layout for each week that Crawford has been here as a gift for his Mom and Dad so I was elated that what I was doing fit right in with Project Life! I haven't told his Mom and Dad that I'm doing it yet and thought I would wait until I had done a couple of months so I could give them a scrapbook binder filled with a few layouts. That way, I can give them the binder and then each week give them a new page to put in it.
Thanks for the encouragement! Keep doing it!
Posted 25 January 2013 - 09:04 PM
One of my goals this year is to become a better photographer, and I think the best way to do that is to take more pictures! So the encouragement to take out my camera, even on "ordinary" days, is going to be a benefit.
I've started with the first three weeks of January so I guess it's time to start posting!
Good luck, everyone!

Adjunct Senior Fellow for Business and Globalization
The economics and politics of globalization, multinational firms and capital markets, immigration, technological innovation, and the causes and consequences of the globalization backlash.
Matthew J. Slaughter is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He is Paul Danos Dean of the Tuck School, the Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business, and is also currently a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He serves on the academic advisory boards of the International Tax Policy Forum and the Tuck Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship.
From 2005 to 2007, Professor Slaughter served as a member on the Council of Economic Advisers in the executive office of the president. In this Senate-confirmed position he held the international portfolio, advising the president, the cabinet, and others on issues including international trade and investment, energy, and the competitiveness of the U.S. economy. In recent years he has also been affiliated with the Federal Reserve Board, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute for International Economics, and the Department of Labor.
Professor Slaughter's area of expertise is the economics and politics of globalization. Much of his recent work has focused on the global operations of multinational firms, in particular how knowledge is created and shared within these firms and how their activities are structured across borders. He has also researched the labor-market impacts of international trade, investment, and immigration, and has studied the political-economy question of individual attitudes about globalization. This research has been supported by several grants from organizations including the National Science Foundation and the Russell Sage Foundation. Over forty articles by Professor Slaughter have been published as book chapters and in peer-reviewed academic journals.
He also co-authored the book Globalization and the Perceptions of American Workers. He currently serves in various editorial positions for several academic journals.
In addition to numerous presentations at academic conferences and seminars, Professor Slaughter has spoken to many audiences in the business and policy communities and he has testified before both chambers of the U.S. Congress. His work has been widely featured in business media such as Business Week, The Economist, Financial Times, Newsweek, Time, Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. He has been interviewed on many TV and radio programs such as CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight and NPR's Marketplace. In recent years he has also served as a consultant both to individual multinational firms and also to several industry organizations that support dialogue on issues of international trade, investment, and taxation.
Professor Slaughter joined the Tuck faculty in 2002. Prior to that, since 1994, he had been an assistant and associate professor of economics at Dartmouth, where in 2001 he received the school-wide John M. Manley Huntington teaching award. Professor Slaughter received his bachelor's degree summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Notre Dame in 1990, and his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994.

As emerging economies in Middle East and Asia become bigger foreign investors they are facing a new protectionist trend in many countries across the globe, write David Marchick and Matthew Slaughter.
See more in International Finance; Emerging Markets
In the past three years, many countries have adopted or expanded regimes to review inward foreign direct investment (FDI) for either national or economic security purposes, reducing the quantity and quality of global FDI flows. The policy recommendations in this report aim to correct this protectionist drift by proposing guidelines for how countries can better regulate FDI yet still reap its economic benefits.

Matthew J. Slaughter argues that our immigration policy keeps out many of the world's best workers, and as a result threatens America's competitiveness. The solution? Eliminate the cap on H1-B visas.

Ford Motor Company recently announced it will sell its Jaguar and Land Rover divisions to India's Tata Group. In this Wall Street Journal op-ed Matthew Slaughter argues that such foreign direct investment has long been a source of strength for the American economy. American policy makers should strive to make the U.S. a premier location for the dynamic, high-productivity activities of globally engaged companies—both insourcing companies and U.S. multinationals alike.

Many are viewing the UAW-GM strike as Exhibit A for how globalization damages America . Matthew Slaughter argues that America 's automobile industry is a prime example of the aggregate gains generated by the dynamic and interrelated forces of trade, investment and technological change. He questions how the presidential contenders will craft an American economic policy that both allows greater globalization and also spreads its gains as widely as possible.
