		<title>Presidential Ultimatums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today President Obama urged an &#8220;up or down&#8221; vote on health care. Well that ultimatum took me back to the famous &#8220;You&#8217;re either with us or against us&#8221; from President Bush. So it got me thinking, do ultimatums work?
I think ultimatums are often times abrasive messages meant to manipulate people into doing what you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Story That Makes Me Sad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every time I thought about it, my stomach twisted into knots and an unsettling feeling of discomfort washed over me. I dreaded having to cover  Craig Meyers&#8217; funeral for days, the idea of what I&#8217;d have to do hung over my head and I couldn&#8217;t shake it. Yet, on Monday morning there I was, standing [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Bit About Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Confession: I am a very competitive person, perhaps some would argue, too competitive.
If you&#8217;re running next to me on the treadmill, I will try to run faster than you. Yes, I&#8217;m sorry to admit, I am that person who looks at how fast you&#8217;re running and I try to run just as fast, or faster. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking my Own Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I saw the foreboding &#8220;Indoor Ironman&#8221; sign on the wall while I was doing my sit-ups at YMCA a few weeks ago, I kind of brushed if off thinking to myself &#8220;I&#8217;m not one of those &#8216;Ironman&#8217; kind of people.&#8221;
Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like to exercise, but if it wasn&#8217;t necessary to stay [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Palin Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, before I get to my ever-intriguing and blog post&#8230;I have to apologize. I am sorry I have not written in awhile. This brings me to my next point, since I missed the boat on the whole &#8220;New Years Resolution&#8221; thing, I am making my mid-January promise to be a better blogger. I encourage you [...]]]></description>

		<title>STD Rates for WI Teens on the Rise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wisconsin teens are having sex.
I&#8217;m not going to skirt around the issue or try and sugar coat it. According to the state&#8217;s Department of Health Services, in 2007 about half of WI teenagers report having sex.  That means if you have four teenage children, chances are two of them are no longer virgins.
It gets worse [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Pride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, I attended my first UW-La Crosse athletic event, a mens basketball game&#8230;but I wasn&#8217;t there to watch the Eagles. Instead, filled with pride, I watched my little brother&#8217;s team, the UW-Platteville Pioneers.
This is my little brother Joe. He&#8217;s a freshman at UW-P, juggling all the responsibilities of being a student athlete, no easy task. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is America Slipping?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mind your own business.&#8221; It&#8217;s childish directive, yet it&#8217;s to the point. And the point is, many are urging the United States to follow simple playground advice.
A recent study by Pew Research Center shows opinions on the Great United States, are slipping when it comes to being a major player on the world stage. Our [...]]]></description>

		<title>The warm cold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s cold outside. A simple statement that very few would dispute as Wisconsin&#8217;s winter weather continues to ramp up.
However, as CBS news reports it&#8217;s not as cold as it used to be.
At this week&#8217;s climate conference in Copenhagen, the U.N weather agency announced that the most recent decade will likely go down as the warmest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being Thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, parents and families of the Challenge Academy Cadets had a chance to be together outside Ft. McCoy. The Cadets were home for the Thanksgiving holiday and at the Taylor household, the changes in Cadet Cody Taylor didn&#8217;t go unnoticed.
I asked his mom what the best part of having her son home for the [...]]]></description>
