From choosing a fitter buddy to bringing your dog to work, here's what recent research has to say about actually getting yourself to exercise.
In a 2012 study, stationary bikers were told they were "competing" against another biker who had previously biked for longer than they had, and whom they could see via video chat. Actually, the "chat" was just video footage on a loop, but the bikers who were told they were competing still biked for 90% longer than they had when no competition was involved. Takeaway: working out with someone more athletic, even via Skype, might make you push yourself more.

One study found that people who exercised outside were more likely to say they planned to do the same activity again than those who worked out indoors. The study didn't follow up to see if people actually followed through on their intentions, but exercising outside outside has other benefits too — it boosts energy and relieves depression better than working out in the gym.

A review of the literature on "exergames" like Dance Dance Revolution and Wii Fit found that they weren't as good as real-life exercise. But the author of the review said the games could help sedentary people get moving: "For those not engaging in real-life exercise, this may be a good step toward this."

A group of moderately overweight Danish men who exercised for 30 minutes a day for three months in a recent study actually lost more weight than a group who worked out for 60 minutes. Of course, not everyone exercises for weight loss, but it's worth noting that just a half hour can have an effect on your body. And the study authors speculate that one reason the 30-minute timeframe was effective was that it motivated the men to move around more throughout the day.

This is VERY IMPORTANT. AL. ROKER. POOPED. HIMSELF. AT. THE. WHITE. HOUSE.

After his gastric bypass surgery in 2002, Al Roker had to start watching what he ate. Unfortunately, sometimes he didn't do that great of a job. From the interview above:
Al Roker: And as I'm walking to the pressroom, I think I gotta pass a little gas here. So, I'm walking by myself, who's gonna know, only, a little something extra came out.
Nancy Sniderman: You pooped in your pants.
AR: I pooped in my pants. Not horribly, but enough that I knew.
Later...
AR: I got to the restroom, threw out the underwear, and just went commando.
NS: What did that tell you?
AR: It told me that I got to be very vigilant as to what I eat.
There you have it. Al Roker sharted his pants in the White House. Happy 2013, and God Bless America.
The first holiday that's all about guns will take place a little over a month after Sandy Hook.
A political ad agency is putting together the first ever Gun Appreciation Day" on January 19, two days before the inauguration and a little over a month after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Political Media's CEO, Larry Ward, told BuzzFeed the idea originated with him. "We decided to run with this last week and put together a wide and growing group of conservative organizations, publications and businesses," Ward said. The groups involved include the Second Amendment Foundation, the Committee to Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano, and Revolution PAC, a super PAC that supported Ron Paul's presidential candidacy.
"Typically we work behind the scnes, we're an ad agency that works on the right," Ward said. "This was a special case because I wanted to not have just one group spearhead it like the NRA."
Ward said he called the NRA as well, but hadn't heard back.

Just six days after they shared their epic, totally real, candid new years kiss, Taylor and Harry have reportedly broken up. WHY!!? WHY GOD. WHY ME? WHY THEM? WHY US.
I digress.
Rumor has it while on vacation, the two got into a blowout fight. Taylor then left whatever paradise they were in because when rich people get into a fight with their boyfriend while on an island somewhere, they can afford to just fly away, instead of sleeping back to back in the bed that night.
After the fight Harry hopped on over to Richard Branson's island, where this photo of a bunch of people (including Richard Branson and Harry) in a hot tub was taken:

And then Taylor wrote this emotional and cryptic tweet...could it be about Harry!?

Well, 2013 is off to terrific start.
Jacob Cox-Brown is an 18-year-old living in Astoria, Oregon. Jacob Cox-Brown is also very, very stupid. According to The Daily Astorian:
At 1 a.m. Wednesday [the 2nd], [police] responded to 1884 Fifth St. for a hit-and-run crash.
A white-colored Scion had been sideswiped, leaving significant damage to the car.
Later that day, [an officer] received a private Facebook message from someone who wanted to report what Jacob Cox-Brown posted on Facebook.
Here's what he posted:
Mr. Jacob Cox-Brown, ladies and gentlemen. Obviously, the police (didn't) have their work cut out for them with this case. Again, The Daily Astorian:
Police went to Cox-Brown's house and found a vehicle that matched the damage done to the two vehicles at the early morning crash.
Cox-Brown was arrested and lodged at the Clatsop County Jail. He was charged with two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver.

Hurricane Sandy restarted the conversation in Washington. Some of these ads are seriously depressing.
From 2009. How do you do a Global Warming ad with, literally, no budget?
This is how. Brilliant. Via Y&R Interactive Israel & Mizbala.
From 2012.
You may remember last Summer, Greenpeace set up a spoof Shell website that fooled millions. This ad, which was actually erected in Houston, won the online contest for best spoof Shell ad. A wonderfully subversive effort.
From 2009.
Outerwear company Columbia, through Chilean ad agency Prolam Y&R, placed this billboard on a newly refurbished building in Santiago. The headline translates to: “The air that cools your home heats up the world.” The photo is of refugees fleeing flooding in Asia.
Columbia, according to their website, is a member of the Conservation Alliance, “a group of specialty outdoor businesses that has become a powerful source of grass roots conservation and environmental funding.”
From 2010.
The video is by Greenpeace Germany.
Rough copy translation: “In 30 years, the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer. The climate needs you.”
In case you were wondering, yes, polar bears can drown.
