Tensions in the East China Sea
No full textIntroduction: This workshop report comprises four papers presented at an international workshop, \u27Tensions in the East China Sea\u27, which was held at the Lowy Institute in Sydney in June 2013. The papers are written by Ms Bonnie Glaser, Ms Linda Jakobson, Prof Jin Canrong and Mr Wang Hao, and Lt Gen (Ret) Noboru Yamaguchi.
They assess decisions in Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo and Washington after Japan’s central government’s purchase in September 2012 of three of the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands sparked a downward spiral in relations between Japan and China.
Key findings:
Lt Gen Yamaguchi reasons that in Japan the island purchase was driven by an unsettled relationship with the landowner, upcoming elections, and a desire by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to burnish his national security credentials.
Prof Jin argues that Tokyo’s tougher stance since the 2010 fishing boat incident combined with demands by special interest groups in China compelled Beijing to react to Japan’s attempts to what Beijing perceives as a unilateral change in the status quo.
Ms Glaser contends that Washington walks a diplomatic tightrope between Tokyo, a US ally, and China. Glaser argues that given the limited viable policy options available to the US, the current strategy is the most appropriate.
Ms Jakobson’s paper explores the landmark fishing agreement signed between Taipei and Tokyo in April 2013. In the report’s Concluding thoughts, she notes that the sovereignty dispute is but one element of complex power politics unbalancing China-Japan ties

Fostering resiliency in kids: Protective factors in the family
No full textEd. This book is available for purchase from the West Ed website. These two publications remain the most comprehensive, user-friendly summary of resilience research designed specifically for community based helping professionals. Benard continues to be the leading author bridging the gap between resilience research and practice. Resilience (updated 2004) When Bonnie Benard and I first met we were professional colleagues associated with the U. S. Department of Education's Safe and Drug Free Schools regional training centers. Bonnie was affiliated with the Western Center in Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California, and I was at the University of Minnesota representing the Midwest Regional based in Oakbrook, Illinois. One of my first memories was calling the Western Center and asking them to break their rules to send me copies of new publications by Bonnie Benard. They kept telling me they were not funded to send things out of their ten-state service area. I persisted and finally received the important documents. In time Bonnie and her colleagues came to Minnesota and conducted prevention trainings for my center. Eventually the National Resilience Resource Center was born. Over the years Bonnie's early publications have stuck in my mind. They were seminal; they were laboriously created to synthesize important research for lay prevention practitioners who were trying to find successful ways of reducing and eliminating youth substance abuse. Most of these professionals were tired and overwhelmed. They perked up when they began to hear Bonnie's positive, hopeful message about resilience. It was clearly a controversial and new message. We heard her talking about "youth at promise" rather than kids "at risk," about hope rather than resignation, about possibility rather than problems. She was part librarian and part social worker--a champion from the Midwest who lodged herself squarely in Berkeley and followed the research of the best and the brightest from a multitude of disciplines. Bonnie was a collector and conceptualizer who knew no boundaries. She searched, and read and wrote; then she spoke out. Bonnie was an advocate for youth. I remember her repeatedly saying how important it was to "speak truth to power." Sometimes it meant being the target of more established and degreed scientific experts' criticisms and agitation. More than anything I saw my friend and colleague squarely planting her feet on the sacred ground of ethical scholarship and social advocacy. Bonnie has never wavered from her position that we adults can and must do more for children, that there is a national agenda yet to be fully created and funded. Bonnie bridged the gap between the researchers and the prevention practitioners. In doing so she has lighted the dark corners and brought us a hopeful path. These publications are stepping stones in that path. There are newer publications that round out this discussion and strengthen the case of the national agenda of youth development grounded in resilience research. (See related "Resilience Research" to be posted on a related website in the near future.) Today Bonnie and I know about grey hair and more than occasionally spend time thinking about retirement and eventually passing the baton to new leaders. We deeply value the work we have shared for more than a decade and will continue into the next. We know important documents need to be passed on. We sense deep in our bones that systems change-the really big systems change from risk to resilience, from problems to possibilities-takes several generations and changes hearts as well as minds. From Bonnie's early works we know caring and support, opportunities for meaningful participation and encouraging high expectations change kids' lives. We also know that for adults to become caring and inviting and encouraging requires that they tap their own natural resilience and live in a secure state of mind. The research agenda of the next decades must explore such new avenues. The initial work that was been done by Bonnie Benard will serve us well in defining the foundation on which the new agenda can wisely be built. Please feel free to print these documents and disseminate to systems change agents without cost to them
Restriction of meat, fish, and poultry in omnivores improves mood: A pilot randomized controlled trial
No full textAbstract Background Omnivorous diets are high in arachidonic acid (AA) compared to vegetarian diets. Research shows that high intakes of AA promote changes in brain that can disturb mood. Omnivores who eat fish regularly increase their intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fats that oppose the negative effects of AA in vivo. In a recent cross-sectional study, omnivores reported significantly worse mood than vegetarians despite higher intakes of EPA and DHA. This study investigated the impact of restricting meat, fish, and poultry on mood. Findings Thirty-nine omnivores were randomly assigned to a control group consuming meat, fish, and poultry daily (OMN); a group consuming fish 3-4 times weekly but avoiding meat and poultry (FISH), or a vegetarian group avoiding meat, fish, and poultry (VEG). At baseline and after two weeks, participants completed a food frequency questionnaire, the Profile of Mood States questionnaire and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales. After the diet intervention, VEG participants reduced their EPA, DHA, and AA intakes, while FISH participants increased their EPA and DHA intakes. Mood scores were unchanged for OMN or FISH participants, but several mood scores for VEG participants improved significantly after two weeks. Conclusions Restricting meat, fish, and poultry improved some domains of short-term mood state in modern omnivores. To our knowledge, this is the first trial to examine the impact of restricting meat, fish, and poultry on mood state in omnivores.</p

Vegetarian diets are associated with healthy mood states: a cross-sectional study in Seventh Day Adventist adults
No full textAbstract Background The physical health status of vegetarians has been extensively reported, but there is limited research regarding the mental health status of vegetarians, particularly with regard to mood. Vegetarian diets exclude fish, the major dietary source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), critical regulators of brain cell structure and function. Omnivorous diets low in EPA and DHA are linked to impaired mood states in observational and experimental studies. Methods We examined associations between mood state and polyunsaturated fatty acid intake as a result of adherence to a vegetarian or omnivorous diet in a cross-sectional study of 138 healthy Seventh Day Adventist men and women residing in the Southwest. Participants completed a quantitative food frequency questionnaire, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), and Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaires. Results Vegetarians (VEG:n = 60) reported significantly less negative emotion than omnivores (OMN:n = 78) as measured by both mean total DASS and POMS scores (8.32 ± 0.88 vs 17.51 ± 1.88, p = .000 and 0.10 ± 1.99 vs 15.33 ± 3.10, p = .007, respectively). VEG reported significantly lower mean intakes of EPA (p p p p p p p p p p Conclusions The vegetarian diet profile does not appear to adversely affect mood despite low intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.</p
