What are your New Year's resolutions?
Every year, millions of American's make New Year's resolutions. They range from the personal (lose weight, hit the gym or learn to dance) to the professional (start my own business, get a different job or be nicer to co-workers) and often involve family, friends and colleagues.
The problem is, by the end of the first month, many resolutions tend to get broken, or at best, severely bent.
For years I diligently made resolutions like everyone else. Some of them I've been able to keep while others fell by the wayside. Fortunately, I've been able to keep the resolution about quitting smoking and have been smoke-free for more than three years.
I have to admit, though, I've never been a fan of New Year's resolutions. When a resolution gets broken, the person who made it tends to get angry with themselves that they couldn't make it work. They beat themselves up and get depressed that they broke one of the resolutions they made hoping to make themselves a better person. I've even heard people say they are a failure because they couldn't keep a simple New Year's resolution.
Who needs that kind of aggravation?
To me, resolutions shouldn't be something to stress about. Rather, they should be a way to practice a little self-reflection and identify ways we can be a better person, friend, family member or co-worker. I look at them as guidelines, not commandments.
So this year, my resolution for 2014 is to not make resolutions. Instead, I'm going to make "I'd like to" statements. As in, "I'd like to be more helpful to others."
"I'd like to take on new projects at work."
"I'd like to lose weight."
Or, "I'd like to have more date nights with my wife."
By looking at things as an "I'd like to," I give myself a little wiggle room. If I have some junk food watching a movie with my wife, I won't think of myself as a failure and feel guilty about it.
What about you? What would you like to do this year?
In challenging times, American Family Insurance stands tall
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." I believe this is true for American Family Insurance, as well, and was reminded of it at a recent event I attended on behalf of my company.
Northwest Missouri Children's Advocacy Center provides free counseling and courtroom preparation for children who have been physically, sexually or emotionally abused. American Family has provided more than $50,000 to this group since 2006, and several American Family employees have served on its board of directors. At the organization's recent anniversary dinner, the center recognized American Family with an award for Outstanding Commitment to Children in Northwest Missouri.
I sat at a table with the person who oversees all the child advocacies in the state, the local director of the organization, the local prosecutor and the former prosecutor from Joplin, Mo.
Some may consider the 2011 Joplin tornado to be old news now, but to those who were there, the memories are still very fresh. The retired Joplin prosecutor told us he thought American Family's performance in the aftermath of the tornado was exemplary. He also said that at the time of the tornado, he was not insured with American Family, but after seeing our efforts, he now is.
Another person at the table said she, too, was influenced by how American Family responded to the tornado victims and is also now insured with us.
We really do provide excellent customer service. Getting feedback like this just reinforces that when we do the right thing, everybody wins. Clearly, we hit a home run in Joplin. Hearing what these people had to say about American Family was one of the best experiences I've had in my many years with the company.
The ones who really deserve the recognition, though, are the local agents, the property claim field adjusters and the agency sales manager for the area, Julie Hickman. One of our agents even lost his office during the tornado, and yet he was working around the clock to help his customers recover from their losses.
More than 130 American Family employees and adjusters helped out in the wake of the Joplin tornado. These people are the real folks who lived our mission, and their efforts pay off in the form of new, loyal customers – like the ones I met at dinner.
Editor's note: Click here to learn more about how American Family supports our local communities -- like Joplin -- through philanthropy and event sponsorship.
Helping the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Spread Cheer in the Holidays
This is the time of year we hear a lot about traditions – spending time with family, participating in holiday activities and helping others who may not be as fortunate or who have fallen on hard times.
One tradition my family eagerly participates in is giving to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots program. We started several years ago when my two children were little.
Each year, they'd pick out toys or books that they'd want, and then donate them to Toys for Tots. Because my kids were making the decisions what to donate, I knew the toys were something that would be well received.
At first, they didn't always understand why I asked them to pick out something they would like just to turn around and give it away, and, to someone they didn't even know. However, as my children grew, this became an opportunity to talk about the importance of appreciating what we have and helping those less fortunate.
It's now something they eagerly look forward to.
This year, in addition to our annual donation, my children joined me as volunteers at American Family's Toys for Tots collection at the Employee Holiday Breakfast. We greeted families as they entered the breakfast and thanked them for their donations. It was a heartwarming experience to see the generosity of so many people.
The toys donated at American Family will join others in the area for distribution throughout Dane County.
Tracing its roots back to 1947 when the wife of a Marine Corps Reservist wanted to donate a doll to a needy child, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve has been providing toys to children who might otherwise go without.
Since its beginning, the Toys for Tots Program has distributed more than 469 million toys to over 216 million less fortunate children.

Make the holidays safe for pets and children
One of my most vivid childhood memories of the holidays was the year I knocked over the tree. I didn't mean to, it just happened. I was maybe four or five years old and went after a toy that had rolled behind the tree. Not knowing any better, I went after it and in the course of my diligent toy retrieval efforts, managed to knock the tree down.
Unfortunately, I broke several ornaments that had a lot of sentimental meaning to my parents, spilled the water in the tree stand and broke a few light bulbs as well. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it scared the heck out of me.
Fast forward several years to when I had children of my own. Not wanting history to repeat itself, I always made sure our tree was secure. In addition to being solidly in the stand, I also used clear fishing line to secure the tree to the handles on the windows behind it. I also kept a close watch on my kids whenever they got to close.
In the years since, I've picked up a few other tips to help my family safely enjoy the holidays and not be afraid that someone will get sick or hurt. Some of these also apply to families with dogs or cats.
I'm sure there are things you do around your home to keep children and pets safe. Here are a few of the tips I've picked up that may help this holiday season.
- Avoid decorations that look like food and could tempt little ones (or pets) to try to eahc.
- Limit rich, fatty holiday foods which can easily lead to an upset stomach.
- Holiday plants like holly, mistletoe, lilies and poinsettias are poisonous.
- Keep lit candles away from little hands and wagging tails.
- Keep hot pots and pans on back burners to prevent them from being accidentally knocked over and causing a burn.
- Make sure toys are age and ability appropriate and don't contain small parts that could be a choking hazard.
If you haven't seen it, there's also a great article in this month's @dvisor with additional holiday safety tips for children and pets.
From my home to yours, I wish you all a happy, healthy, joyous – and safe – holiday season!

30 Minutes With: Sage Kotsenburg
Hailing from Salt Lake city, 21-year-old Sage Kotsenburg is one of the strongest riders in today's snowboarding scene. He also won a gold in Sochi by throwing down a trick he made up on the spot.
Hailing from Salt Lake city, 21-year-old Sage Kotsenburg is one of the strongest riders in today's snowboarding scene. He also won a gold in Sochi by throwing down a trick he made up on the spot.
Swiss climber Ueli Steck recently became the first person ever to climb the south face of Annapurna, perhaps the most technically challenging climb in the world. We sat down with the living legend to talk about the gear he can't live without and his approach to the sport, and to find out if there's life for him after climbing.
The person responsible for cycling brand Rapha's display of enthusiasm for fashion and cycling is the company's Head of Central Brand Marketing, James Fairbank. We sat down with him on a recent stop in at Rapha's London HQ.
Willett Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen doesn't have time for bullshit. It's not something he has to tell anyone. The message shoots from his eyes like a railgun. Even at a relatively young age, it's clear he's heard it all before. He talks like someone who's lost years listening to others dribble on, and worked hard to eradicate the behavior in himself; his speech is terse, verging on curt. You can't blame him for him ignoring the noise. A lot rides on his shoulders. He and his family worked for years to rebuild the family distillery, which reopened in 2012, and now he's determined to prove a point.
In the world's fastest motorsport, pilots fly at 230 mph and pull upwards of 10 g's through the track. GP sat down with Nigel Lamb, Breitling's Master Class pilot, ahead of the Red Bull Air Race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Nicolas Müller is one of the best snowboarders on the planet, but you won't see him on the podium at the X Games or in highlight clips on SportsCenter. The 32-year-old Swiss native started out as a competitive snowboarder, eventually reaching the top of the international circuit, but hung it all up to push the progression on the sport on bigger canvas: big mountain free riding.
Slight at 5'7" and 128 pounds, Dutch cyclocross star Lars van der Haar, 23, wields heavyweight power at the races. He rides with a style so explosive that it inspired American cyclocross fans to coin the phrase "Go van der Haarder". Like Belgian Sven Nys before him (#svenness), van der Haar has transcended the bounds of the sport and stands perched on the cusp of becoming a legend.
Craig Alexander is one of the greats in triathlon. He was kind enough to join us for a jog in Central Park, where we talked food, training and one of the great scandals in Ironman history.
Kilian Jornet is, simply put, a force of nature. Over lunch, we discussed mountains, his speed climbing project, and the nature of risk.
The Age of Innocence: Football in the 1970s is a photographic eulogy for the first era of worldwide soccer obsession, documenting the lives of international legends -- Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore, Maradona, Johan Cruyff and more -- on and off the pitch. We spoke with Reuel Golden, the book's editor, about soccer's golden age.
We sit down with Eric Wallace of Left Hand Brewing and Brett Joyce of Rogue Ales to talk about brewing technology, stout glasses and Miley Cyrus.
By the age of 20, professional kiteboarder Aaron Hadlow won the PKRA World Tour 5 times. Nobody was on his level -- but that was in 2008. Now the sport's most decorated athlete has returned. We talked to him about the future of kiteboarding and how he could've been balling next to Wayne Rooney.
Alastair Humphreys has bicycled around the world; embarked on polar expeditions; completed a self-supported, thousand-mile walk through the Empty Quarter Desert; rowed the Atlantic; crossed India coast-to-coast on foot and backpacked and packrafted across Iceland, among other expeditions. This is a man who knows a thing or two about adventure.
GP was on the scene at Outside Lands 2014. We interviewed the members of Brothers Comatose, Local Natives, Tycho, Typhoon and Warpaint.
Montreal has been good to the co-owner and co-chef of Joe Beef. But it's the country that inspires him -- and in turn, inspires his restaurant, a relatively small place in Montreal's Little Burgundy neighborhood that has, almost despite itself, become one of the city's most celebrated dining spots. We recently sat down with McMillan to discuss all things Montreal, the importance of classic intentions, and drinking lots of Burgundy wine.
From catering obscurity to acclaimed chef, Seattle native Ethan Stowell is living his dream. As the chef and owner of nine Italian-inspired restaurants, a pizzeria, wine cellar and more, he's taking over this northwestern city.
How do you popularize an obscure sporting event that runs through the remotest oceans for three quarters of a year? That is Knut Frostad's task as CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race, a round-the-world yachting competition that takes place every two years. We sat down with Frostad in Newport, Rhode Island, which will serve as a stopover in the upcoming race, to discuss its global appeal.
Being a pedestrian or a cyclist in a city can be as harrowing as it is liberating. Nobody knows that better than Paul White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, a New York City non-profit promoting cycling, walking and public transit.
We talk to Big T, a.k.a. Tobias Olsen, owner of the beloved Royal Barbershop in Stockholm, about life's second acts, what it takes to be an excellent barber, and how to care for your skin -- and yourself.
The Ö Till Ö run/swim race in Sweden is 46 miles long. That's an impressive distance -- especially when you consider that 6 miles are in the water and the remaining 40 miles take racers over the rocky terrain of 26 islands off the coast of Stockholm.
Governors Ball is a three-day music festival in New York City that draws crowds of over 40,000 each day. The culture is defined by the musicians, which range from big name headliners to up-and-coming young talent. We spoke with three young musicians to see what festival life was like on the other side of the stage.
We interview Kelly Taylor, owner and operator of KelSo Beer Co., who recently made beer history by becoming the first American brewer to age beer in Jameson's coveted whiskey barrels.
We interview Jozy Altidore of the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team about philanthropy, the new U.S. head coach and his team of choice when playing FIFA.
We caught up with Slater Trout after he returned from Nicaragua, where he was competing with the U.S. team in the Stand Up Paddle Racing World Championships, to talk developing SUP as a national sport and being a force in the water.
Rebecca Rusch quit her day job to pursue her love of competition. It worked out, and today she's a professional cyclist with sponsors like Red Bull and Specialized.
First impressions go a long way in this world, and Jeff Carvalho knows it. The 39-year-old cofounder of the men's style and lifestyle site Selectism presents himself like a real-life version of Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark: intelligent, well-dressed, confident. People listen when he talks. Or maybe they listen because he tells great stories. Or because he's the kind of guy that can go out for a night of karaoke and wind up sitting in Big Boi's living room.
Director, producer and actor Griffin Dunne (who starred the cult classics An American Werewolf in London and After Hours) talks with us about life, confidence and that time he wept on an airplane.
Rooftop showers, gratis Champagne and sunsets over Tel Aviv. Interested? Leon Avigad is the guy to know.
The summer before his senior year at Duke University, Andrew Skurka thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, his first ever backpacking trip, alone and in only 95 days (that's 23 miles a day). He had caught the bug. He's since hiked 7,775 miles from Quebec to Washington and the Great Western Loop (6,875 miles) and has been named the 2005 "Person of the Year" by Backpacker Magazine and the 2007 "Adventurer of the Year" by National Geographic Adventure. We caught up with him to talk about success and failure on the trail.
Racing since age eight, missing prom so he could suit up for the Nascar Nationwide series, winning Nascar's Busch series championship at the tender age of 20: Brian Vickers sounds like a man of one dimension. That would be a false assumption.
We talk with Fabian Cousteau as he preps for Mission 31, an endeavor to live underwater in the Aquarius habitat for 31 days.
If you walked into your place of employ and found mold colonies growing on your workspace, chances an alarm would sound: time to improve your hygiene. Not so for Brian Ralph. In his world, this is just another day at the office. This gives him a particular view of the world -- and you can learn a lot from a guy like him.
Jim Wilson may not be a household name, but his resume speaks for itself. As the producer behind films like Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard, he developed a reputation for making films whose cultural impacts belied their modest budgets. His upcoming film 50 to 1, which tells the story of 2009's unlikely Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, is no exception. Jim carved out a window from a hectic promotional tour to talk about making this film a reality, working with his longtime friend Kevin Costner, and even his thoughts on Avatar.
When we think of influential people, we often default to Time 100 types -- Oprah, President Obama, Steve Jobs. But what about the guy making your bike commute more comfortable, creating fabrics and garments that can replace your typical urban attire with performance-oriented equivalents while keeping your crotch area breathable? This guy moves mountains in our world, and he's Alex Valdman, Design Director at Easton-Bell Sports. We caught up with him to talk about his work with Giro, his perfect last meal and his inspirations.
Jimmy Carbonetti, Caveman band member and the proprietor of Carbonetti Guitars located on New York's Lower East Side, still has plenty of life to live before he churns out the next self-help best seller. But if a Carbonetti's Rules for Success ever does surface, the lessons should seem familiar: do what you love and find mentors. Getting both lined up didn't take long in his case. We caught up with the musician and luthier ahead of his next appearance in Austin to chat about everything from the origins of his "Cobra" nickname to his musical heroes and a few of his latest projects.
Stephen Gordon: a man with a dog and a boat that he rows in lakes. That's really all it takes for us to like a guy, but Gordon has a story that obliges further explanation. The founder of Restoration Hardware practically created a new brand of retail by selling gift-like items only loosely related to fixtures and furniture. Inspired by his youth in the Adirondacks, Guideboat Co. makes handsome boats out of a 19th century lumber yard in Mill Valley, CA. We caught up with Gordon to talk about making stew, determination and peeing in the woods.
Giles Ellis is a man obsessed with details. Though his pet project, Schofield Watch Company, has won high praise from watch connoisseurs, Ellis is still wary of being pigeonholed. Quirky hard goods and a premium line of straps prove it: Schofield is an adventurous brand driven by design yet still rooted in the traditions of watchmaking and a distinctive British pride. So what makes the man behind it all tick?
Confronted with two contradictory truths that nevertheless exist simultaneously -- Valentine's Day is a superficial Hallmark holiday, Valentine's Day requires decisive action on our part -- we fumble around and fuck things up. Knowing this, we came up with one very good idea: asking the women we trust what they think about love, romance and February's big holiday. They're bright, beautiful and successful. They're sommeliers, teachers and racecar drivers. They're editors, photographers and athletes. These are their insights.
Sasha DiGiulian is the best female climber in the world. In 2012, she became the first American woman (and only the third woman of all time) to climb grade 5.14d, only three steps below where the scale tops out. She's graced the covers of 12 different magazines, received the Rubicon and Salewa Rock Legend awards and been sponsored by Adidas, Five Ten and Petzl, among others. The craziest part? She's only 21. We caught up with the Columbia University undergraduate to talk about climbing, philosophy and piña coladas.
Trevor Groth first visited the Sundance Film Festival in 1989 at the age of 17. The experience changed his life, eventually leading him to a job as Director of Programming at Sundance, presiding over the strategic planning and selection process of the now-iconic film festival. Translation? He's paid to watch and discuss movies produced by the planet's most talented filmmakers and then picks which movies the world should definitely see. We caught up him in the middle of the 2013 festival to pick his brain about his process, how to experience the festival right and the state of the indie film scene at large.
Hugh Acheson is a familiar face by now, with plenty of magazine appearances after his Food & Wine Best New Chef award and a recurring role as a judge on Top Chef. But it's the Ottawa-born chef's enthusiasm for Southern cuisine that has buoyed his reputation. He lives in the South with his wife and kids. His three restaurants in Georgia, along with his cookbook, A New Turn in the South: Southern Flavors Reinvented for Your Kitchen, have earned him James Beard Foundation awards as a chef and as an author. We caught up with him to talk about scrambled eggs, opening restaurants, the things that piss him off, and what piques him about the land below of the Mason-Dixon line.
Most sixteen-year-olds spend their time learning how to parallel park and struggling with acne. Just after his sweet sixteen, Patrick Long moved to Europe to work on racing strategy and focus on becoming one of America's best drivers. It worked. He's since become the youngest American to take class victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans -- all while performing as Porsche's go-to driver for testing new cars. We grabbed a few minutes with the Southern Californian -- now 32 years old -- between his surf sessions and race day.
Beats, turntables, peanut butter and extreme conviction have helped fuel Rapha-Focus cyclocross pro Jeremy Powers to a national championship. Through his web video franchise "Behind THE Barriers TV", Powers has also sought the broader goal of elevating the profile of his sport. In a cycling epoch besmirched by the failings of a Texan colossus, the adept DJ and former ice cream truck driver continues to inspire his countrymen. We caught up with Powers to talk about his sport, Belgian beer and finding inspiration.
Stories follow Michael Kobold everywhere. The founder of Kobold Watches, which declares that its watches are "conceived, designed, assembled and tested in USA from domestic and imported components", has turned his immodest passion for timepieces into a successful business and made relationships with great men -- Ranulph Fiennes, Gerd-Ruediger Lang, the late James Gandolfini -- along the way. We were lucky enough to catch up with him recently to hear some tales and catch up on his blooming horological business.

Steven Rea, Inquirer Movie Columnist and Critic
Surprising just about everyone with its strong opening weekend (#1 spot, $32.7 million), Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are is determinedly not your typical kid flick – a fact that director Jonze, his co-writer Dave Eggers and the book's author/illustrator (and film's producer) Maurice Sendak are rightfully pleased with themselves about.

Carol Altschuler, of Elkins Park, left a voicemail earlier this week: Based on a two sentence description she'd read in the Inquirer, she ventured into town over the weekend to catch Bird's Eye View at the Roxy Theater.
This is part of her review, the message she left on the phone: "Unbelievable … The movie was a riot… The whole animal thing, the alien thing… I've never seen anything like it. It's a real find!"
Ah yes, the animal thing, the alien thing. Cybela Clare, the Rittenhouse Square writer/director/producer and star of Bird's Eye View, communes with cockatoos. She has an ardent animal rights agenda that makes Brigitte Bardot look like Mademoiselle Milquetoast. And then there's the alien stuff: a flashback to Clare's character's childhood, a little girl gone missing in a blast of light. There's are testimonials from women who were abducted and impregnated by aliens. There's even stuff about missing bovine body parts – cow organs taken into space on flying saucers.

Either your TV or disc player is stretching the content to fit the screen on DVD. You can stretch the blu-ray, usually through a setting on your TV, but you'll have to do it manually. But if you do this then the menus won't fit the screen properly.
So it's best to leave it be then? I'm just wondering because with everyone having big screen TVs these days, I'm just wondering how distracting it is, or if it's not a big deal.
I've been too busy being mesmerized by the pretty pictures in the middle of the screen for the black bars to bother me.
Yeah, I'd leave it be. It's the way it was originally intended to be viewed.

17 degree weather? Yeah, we conquered that.

Sunday, November 24, 2013
For the first time in several weeks, The Buddy and I were finally able to go to the park and walk. In 17 degree weather, with the windchill near zero. But, that's what cold weather accessories are for, and other than my face nearly freezing off, the rest of me was fine. We walked 25 minutes. I had hoped to do a full lap which would have taken around 35, but I was dragging. It has been a couple weeks since I walked, and I definitely felt it this morning. I figured better to cut it shorter and not overdo it than to push too far and end up injured. I'm terribly injury prone, anyway. But man... when I got back in the car afterwards, did I ever feel GREAT! I was so happy we finally got to walk, and that we burned off a few calories.
But.................... when I got home, I curled up under a fluffy blanket and went right back to sleep. I only slept a couple hours, though. I woke up around 12:30 wide awake and ready to get up, so I did. And I was remarkably refreshed. Sometimes I feel crappy after I come back home and nap, but it was all good today.
I've stayed on track with food today. I had 400 cal McD's breakfast, then I had a frozen meal with green beans for lunch, and YUMMY soup for dinner. It was Beef Florentine. I made up the recipe as I went along and it turned out really good. I also had a small baked potato with salsa and a dollop of reduced fat sour cream. Then snack was some berries with cottage cheese and toast. I got in about 4 servings of veggies and 1 serving of fruit, so I hit the at-least-5-per-day goal. I was pleased with that. Lots of water today, too.
And the best part about today's soup? There's leftover soup for tomorrow! I love when I end up getting 2 meals out of one. Not only do I not have to cook, but it will save the food I would have made tomorrow for eating another day. Less groceries to buy! Dh is gonna have a sandwich with his soup and I'm gonna have a salad with mine. Also breakfast is gonna be a snap. I made 4 days worth of steel cut oatmeal this evening so that all I gotta do is measure out my serving and heat it up. I LOVE steel cut oatmeal but I'm entirely too impatient to cook it in the mornings.
And... tomorrow is the day. The day I weigh in for the first time since starting the new med that's supposed to help with weight loss. I am REALLY hoping the 2.4 lb loss I was showing yesterday is still there tomorrow. I won't lie, I'd love to see a 3.1 lb loss, cause that would put me at 259.9, but I'm not holding my breath on it. As long as I can say I lost weight last week, I will be happy, no matter how little it is.
Now comes the hard part of the day -- making it from now until I fall asleep without having to eat. Which means hopefully falling asleep before 1 am. Or at least not too much after it. Fingers crossed!
Hope everyone has had a lovely Sunday!

I have to agree!! It sounds like you had a great day!! It was really cold here in Philadelphia too but not as cold. Upper 20s and I had to go grocery shopping with a bum knee. Luckily hubby went along with me. I did good today too with diet if not with exercise. I control my DM with diet and exercise so hopefully my knee will fix itself so I can get back to my exercise. If not I may actually have to break down and go see my orthopedist. I hope not!!
Wishing you a great nights'

- Awesome!! Review by Pastorswife
These were a great hit! We have a store every 10 weeks for our kids church where the kids get to spend fake money they earned on toys. These were a higher priced item and once the kids figured out what they did, they went nuts for them. I see kids bringing them to services all the time now and it has been 2 months! Even the adults wanted to know if they could buy them! Very cool for all ages!

Taiwanese Boats Near Disputed Islands
TOKYO—A flotilla of nearly 50 Taiwanese boats entered territorial waters near disputed islands controlled by Japan in the East China Sea on Tuesday as another Asian neighbor protested the Japanese government's purchase of the islands.
About 40 Taiwanese fishing boats and eight Taiwanese coast guard boats entered the territorial waters near the largest of the disputed islands, Uotsuri island, on Tuesday morning, the Japan Coast Guard said. It was the first time ships from Taiwan have entered the waters since the Japanese government announced earlier in the month it would purchase three of the islands, known as the Senkaku in Japanese and the Diaoyu in Chinese.
The vessels were met by the Japan Coast Guard and a minor altercation, broadcast on Japan's NHK, ensued. One of the Japanese vessels was seen racing up alongside a Taiwanese fishing boat and trying to cut off its course. The footage also showed the Japanese boats spraying the fishing vessels with water, while the Taiwanese patrol ships sprayed water back.
The development comes as a reminder that Taipei also claims the Senkaku, after the recent focus on anti-Japanese demonstrations in more than 100 cities in China, in the wake of Japan's decision to buy the islands. China also claims the islands, which are situated in supposedly resource-rich waters.
A Taiwanese fishing association said the fishing boats went to the islands to assert their right to fish in "traditional fishing grounds" and that they had planned to circle the islands at a distance of 12 nautical miles. The Taiwanese Coast Guard Administration said the ships were ultimately unable to circle the island as planned and turned around, describing the altercation as "mild."
The Japan Coast Guard also released a photo taken of one of the Taiwanese fishing boats bearing a sign saying "Diaoyutai are Taiwan's," referring to the islands' name in Taiwan.
Japan's top government spokesman said Tokyo has lodged a protest with Taipei authorities.
"Obviously, we told them not to enter our territorial waters," Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said at a regular news conference.
On Monday, Taiwan's Presidential Office reiterated its stance on Taipei's claim to the islands, but said it would not team up with China in the dispute.
Chinese government patrol boats have entered territorial waters several times in the past two weeks. The Japanese Coast Guard confirmed 10 still in the area as of Tuesday morning.

GLREC Education and Outreach
Great Lakes Research and Education Center (GLREC) staff work with educators, partners, and interpretive staff at 10 parks in the National Park Service's Great Lakes Network to bring new research findings to the public.
The educational projects listed here are in addition to those listed on the primary Great Lakes Research and Education Center website.

Linking Research and Education - Workshop and Educational Activities
Students at Bayfield High School in Bayfield, Wisconsin have had the opportunity to learn about scientific research being conducted at Isle Royale National Park and Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as a result of a "Linking Research and Education Workshop" sponsored by the NPS Great Lakes Research and Education Center and the NPS Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Network. During the workshop, held in December of 2008, Bayfield High School educator Rick Erickson worked with employees, researchers, and volunteers from two National Parks and the Great Lakes I&M Network to develop educational activities which he then utilized with his students.
Since the workshop, the Bayfield High School Science Department has formed a partnership with researchers at the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network to learn about and assist with research focused on mercury concentrations in bald eagle nestlings. Students in Bayfield's chemistry class learned about the relationship between water chemistry and mercury contamination, and about the eagle research conducted in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS).
photo by Rick Erickson
The chemistry students then spent an afternoon at the mouth of a Lake Superior tributary learning how to properly collect water samples and perform water chemistry tests using NPS protocol. Students collected samples and performed tests within APIS throughout May and June of 2009. This data will be presented to eagle researchers to assist in the understanding of mercury concentrations in bald eagle nestlings. Erickson hopes the students he has in future years will be able to contribute in similar ways.
Student Activity: Water Quality Testing at Eagle Nest Site
Using other lessons developed during the "Linking Research and Education Workshop" Bayfield students in the Science Topics class learned about how climate change could affect Isle Royale National Park, specifically with respect to the moose-wolf relationship.
Student Activity: How Many Moose Can an Island Hold: Climate Change and Isle Royale
These lessons have provided an opportunity for students to learn about the valuable resources in our nation's national parks, and in the case of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the students became participants in research that will help them gain an understanding of our park ecosystems.

Workshop participants from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore also joined forces to produce educational materials and activities revolving around Great Lakes Piping Plover populations.
Great Lakes Piping Plover Information Sheet and Review Questions
Great Lakes Piping Plover Survival: Lesson Plan
The teachers, volunteers, interpreters, and resource professionals involved in the workshop hope that, as a result of these activities, students will become active stewards of our national parks and our natural resources.
Celebrating 50 Years of Wolf-Moose Research
Scientists have been studying the interactions and interdependence of wolves and moose at Michigan's Isle Royale National Park for nearly half a century. This represents the longest continuous predator-prey study ever conducted.
The Isle Royale wolf-moose study, conducted by researchers from Michigan Technological University, began in 1958. Throughout 2008, the National Park Service, Michigan Tech and partners in three states hosted a series of events and programs and produced anniversary posters, books, lesson plans, and other special materials commemorating the study's 50th anniversary.
For more information about the 50th Anniversary Celebration activities, including articles, lesson plans, photographs, and more, visit http://www.wolfmoose.mtu.edu/.
Nurturing Young Researchers
During the spring of 2008, 22 teachers from across Northwest Indiana participated in the "Nurturing Young Researchers: Inquiry Along the Lakeshore" Educator Institute at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Participants in the three-day event discovered ways they could encourage their students to engage in their own scientific "research". Throughout the session, teachers worked side-by-side with scientists and other resource professionals to focus on each of the steps involved with scientific inquiry. Explorations along Lake Michigan focused on one's prior knowledge, questioning, developing hypotheses, and using a variety of research "tools". A shift the next day to the Little Calumet River brought opportunities to design investigations, and collect and analyze data. On day three, educators focused on drawing conclusion and sharing results. In addition to practicing inquiry-based learning, participants were also exposed to a variety of citizen science projects their students could engage in, including the Alliance for the Great Lakes' Adopt-a-beach program and Project BudBurst. The institute was held in partnership with the Dunes Learning Center, the I.S.L.A.N.D. (Increasing Science Literacy: Achieving New Dimensions) Program, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S.G.S. Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station.
The Great Lakes Research and Education Center collaborated with the S.P.A.R.K.S. Across America program to enrich science education in Northwest Indiana families. SPARKS stands for "Supporting Parents in Advocacy, Reform, and Knowledge in Science", and is the brainchild of staff from the Bronx Zoo. SPARKS is a hands-on program which shows parents ways they can encourage their children's interest in science. By attending a series of hands-on workshops, parents met local researchers, learned of local resources they could use to enhance their children's informal science experiences, and learned a variety of activities to engage their children with science. The workshops were of the "train the trainer" variety, with all participating parents turning around to share what they learned with other parents and children in their communities.
In Northwest Indiana, the Great Lakes Research and Education Center facilitated local SPARKS programs along with staff and parents from the Dunes Learning Center, the Gary Community School Corporation, the Field Station Cooperative Preschool, and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. A series of three parent workshops and a SPARKS fair were held in Gary, Indiana in Fall and Winter of 2007-8. During winter and spring of 2008 two parent workshops and a SPARKS fair called "Nature Discovery Quest" were held at the Dunes Learning Center in Chesterton, IN.
Excitement about science begins at an early age, and researchers from the National Park Service, Indiana University Northwest, and the Field Museum of Natural History provided parents with tips to spark an interest in science among today's youth.
Park Break! 2008
On March 17 - 21, 2008, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore partnered with the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit, Texas A&M University, the George Wright Society, the United States Geological Survey, and the Student Conservation Association to present a field based executive seminar called Park Break! 2008. This intensive seminar was designed to give students at the PhD and Masters levels a chance to work alongside park scientists, managers, and policy makers while exploring topics of importance to parks and protected areas. At Indiana Dunes, eight Fellows interacted with 25 scientists, managers, and policy makers while exploring a variety of issues and challenges related to parks and protected areas on the wildland-urban interface. Discussions and field experiences revolved around many topics including but not limited to: biodiversity in the Indiana Dunes; using science to help set management priorities; managing fire on the wildland-urban interface; dealing with multiple jurisdictions; recreational water quality; managing whitetail deer; dealing with invasive plants; and connecting with the public through education, outreach, and stewardship.
Four Park Break!2008 seminars were held around the country, and participants from each of the different venues will have papers published in the summer, 2009 issue of The George Wright Forum. For more information on the George Wright Forum, visit: http://www.georgewright.org/
WETMAAP Workshop
On July 18, 19, and 20, 2007, area educators working with middle school, high school, and university students attended a free WETMAAP workshop at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. WETMAAP stands for "Wetland Education through Maps and Aerial Photography" and was designed by researchers at the United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) and Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska.
Workshop participants explored the changing Indiana dunes wetland habitats. They were introduced to wetland habitats, functions, and values; wetland mapping; aerial photography and satellite imagery; topographic maps; and GIS technology. Participants learned how to integrate wetland issues, maps, and images into their existing curricula, and received a portfolio featuring a wide variety of tools, including aerial photographs, maps, and exercise correlated to the national standards in science, math, and geography.
This workshop was sponsored by the Great Lakes Research and Education Center at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Purdue University North Central, the Indiana Lake Michigan Coastal Program, the U.S.G.S. National Wetlands Research Center, and Chadron State College.

Great Lakes Research...Then and Now
In June 2007, students from Lew Wallace High School in Gary, Indiana, explored the Indiana Dunes - a living laboratory where past, present, and future researchers have learned and continue to learn how the world works.
Students explored dune formation and succession while learning about Henry Chandler Cowles and his research on dune succession over 100 years ago. They also met with a researcher from the United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station to learn how research on E. coli and beach monitoring has been used to help ensure the safety of park visitors. The teens spent the afternoon speaking informally with U.S.G.S. researchers to learn more about their careers, their feelings about the work they do, and suggestions to help students who are interested in pursuing their own research careers. This project was funded through the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) Great Lakes O'Lakers Program. For more information about COSEE, visit coseegreatlakes.net.
Great Lakes Educator Institute
In 2006, the GLREC partnered with the Alliance for the Great Lakes, The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program, Indiana University Northwest, the Annis Water Research Institute, and many other organizations to present five Great Lakes Educator Workshops around Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Ten scientists working in Great Lakes national parks shared their research findings with middle school and high school teachers who incorporated the new information into their lesson plans.

Perched on the edge of a rocking chair with a score opened before her, Eleanor Sokoloff looks up into the air and shakes her head in time to the music.
"That's a girl," she says, her forceful alto overpowering the Beethoven. "I could use a little more top. Ah. That makes all the difference in a phrase. "
The French cuffs of Sokoloff's 15-year-old student glide over the Bösendorfer keyboard. And then Sokoloff stops her.
"Well . . . ," she says with distaste and suspicion in her voice. "Why is that note so soft? "

Obviously, this is not about social justice. Follow the cake crumbs back to the executive orders and cabinet level policies and you will find social engineering at every level. Federal intrusion into our personal lives from our cellphones and computers, school yards and clergy pulpits, to the military and sporting events, reflect the Statist-Progressive-Liberal-
And they will not stop until everything Americans once held dear is turned on its head. For example, the recent push for gay rights did not happen by accident, but is an obvious effort by the administration to incorporate into the American way of life what activists are unable to incorporate into federal law.
Consider: The so-called school "bullying campaign that wasn't really about bullying...Obama's gay marriage beliefs evolving...using the Sochi Winter Olympics to promote gay athletes... Michelle Obama's tweet lauding the courage of a gay NFL player (I guess I missed the one she sent to Tim Tebow).
It is past time to get back to our Constitutional roots. If one good thing can come from the Obama administration it is the lesson learned that governments should not be trusted, particularly one that will go to any length to legislate their personal beliefs on the American people against their will.

Under the watchful eye and creative mind of director Catherine Hardwicke, "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have gone from virtual unknowns to superstar celebrities . And if Hardwicke has her way, the trio not only have a past and present together, but a future as well.
"There's a few projects in the future that I hope we get to work together on," Hardwicke revealed to us on the red carpet of Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood Awards. "We'll see."
The red-hot filmmaker with the largest opening weekend for any female director was in attendance to pick up a Dream Director award, just one week after "Twilight" dominated the MTV Movie Awards . "We had fun that night," she laughed. "Lots of yummy popcorn!"
When we spoke with her recently, she listed the four high-profile projects she's developing as KStew and RPattz continue work on the "Twilight" saga. "We've got 'Maximum Ride,' " she said. "That's a really wild, big-action fantasy film with bird kids. Then I have a cool project at Overture with Emile Hirsch that's a modern retelling of 'Hamlet' — a very radical version. And then at Summit, we have 'If I Stay,' which is another really nice novel that we're adapting."
According to Hardwicke, she's planning to solicit Pattinson and/or Stewart for roles in the fantasy films "Ride" and "Stay."
"Some of the projects I'm doing, they would be in a completely different world — actually, sometimes even in a different time period," Hardwicke said of the two films, which could return Stewart and Pattinson to the young-adult-fantasy realm that made them famous. "That would be fun. I'd love to do a number on them and transform them."
"Maximum Ride" is based on a series of James Patterson novels telling the story of six teens who are genetically altered to become part bird and part human. "If I Stay" seems particularly suitable for Stewart, since it tells the story of a 17-year-old musician named Mia. A huge fan of music, KStew will soon play Joan Jett in the film "The Runaways."
Recently, Hardwicke took MTV for a rare tour inside her house, where she cast Stewart and Pattinson after a particularly sultry audition on her bed . And while speaking to us Sunday night, she once again marveled at how far the duo have come since those early days.
"They've definitely gotten more and more confident in themselves. Obviously, that day was awkward — to just meet somebody, and then you need to kiss them right then. And especially because Kristen had to kiss three other guys, poor thing," she laughed. "I think that they've become more self-confident and strong with the camera. And they're just beautiful and blossoming. They've always been very deep. They always go deep into their characters and care about it. Their core is the same."
Check out everything we've got on "Twilight."
