Unique Gift Allows Family to Interact Online and Share a Special Moment Together.
COLUMBIA, S.C., Dec. 23 -- When Sergeant Ben Barron, a U.S. Marine currently stationed in Iraq, realized he would miss his daughter Alice's first Christmas, he contacted Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, S.C. to request a unique Christmas gift for his family so that he could create a memorable holiday experience and help bridge the distance between them all.
Remembering his wife Elizabeth's fondness for penguins, Sgt. Barron contacted Riverbanks to see if the zoo's staff would allow his wife and daughter a special opportunity this Christmas to meet and interact one-on-one with the penguins living at the Zoo.
Upon receiving the message from Sgt. Barron, the staff at Riverbanks immediately went to work, and Elizabeth and Alice soon received a surprise package from Sgt. Barron inviting them to spend Friday, Dec. 22 at Riverbanks. The surprise package included an invitation to attend a behind-the-scenes tour of the penguin exhibit, and a surprise for Sgt. Barron - the opportunity to watch his family interact with the penguins through webcam.
Located in Columbia, S.C., Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is home to more than 2,000 magnificent and fascinating animals and one of the America's most beautiful and inspiring botanical gardens. The lush, 170-acre site features dynamic natural exhibits, scenic river views, spectacular valley overlooks and significant historical landmarks.

'2006 Napster Awards' Honor Artists and Songs Played Most by Subscribers.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 -- Napster(TM) (NASDAQ:NAPS) , the pioneer of digital music, today announced the winners of the "2006 Napster Awards," the first awards to honor artists and songs for accomplishments in digital music. In contrast to other music industry awards, the Napster Awards are determined by the actual listening behavior of music fans who subscribe to Napster's industry-leading subscription service and play over one billion songs each year. Presented to the artists and songs that enjoyed the highest number of plays in the service between December 1, 2005 and November 30, 2006, the Napster Awards illustrate that there is a significant difference between the music that sells the most and the music that's played the most when fans are in an unlimited access music subscription environment.

Each Napster Award recipient will receive an impressive trophy featuring the infamous Napster Kitty(R).
The 2006 Napster Award for "Most-Played Artist" went to singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, whose mellow acoustic grooves were a huge hit among Napster's half a million subscribers who played his music more than any other artist's. The Napster Award for "Most-Played Song" went to the pop/punk single "Dance, Dance" from Chicago's Fall Out Boy. Punctuating the difference between sales figures and subscriber plays, Jack Johnson, Napster's most played artist, was not recognized by the 2006 Billboard Music Awards which track sales and radio airplay and "Dance, Dance," Napster's most played song, was not among the top 10 tracks sold on iTunes in 2006.
"The Napster Awards provide insight into how music fans behave when they can listen to an enormous variety of music away from restrictive radio playlists, limited retail shelf space and 30-second clip, buck a track digital stores," said Chris Gorog, chairman and CEO of Napster. "When consumers are given unlimited access to music and are freed from having to pay for each individual song in order to hear it, it's interesting to see how this freedom changes what they want to actually listen to. We congratulate all of the 2006 Napster Award winners, and look forward to continuing to honor the music Napster subscribers enjoy playing the most."

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 19 -- Dieting and exercising are tried and true New Year's resolutions that are usually forgotten by February. Strive to be different this year by adopting extraordinary health resolutions such as eating more dark chocolate, sunbathing, taking a supplement that wards off major diseases and avoiding deadly emotions.

These are just a few tips suggested by New York Times best-selling author Jordan Rubin in his latest book, The Great Physician's Rx for Women's Health (Thomas Nelson publishers) with co-authors Nicki Rubin and Dr. Pancheta Wilson.
Written to address the specific health needs of women, the book offers natural ways to combat common concerns such as weight gain, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, estrogen dominance, menopause and more.
"Making some simple changes to your daily routine can reap enormous health benefits," says Rubin, whose books such as The Maker's Diet and The Great Physician's Rx for Health and Wellness have sold millions of copies worldwide.
Healthy resolutions for men and women to consider in 2007 include:
• Take one tablespoon of omega-3 cod liver oil every day to boost the
immune system, ward off major illnesses, and to promote healthier skin
and nails.
• Toss unhealthy corn oils and shortening and switch to cooking with
healthy fats such as coconut oil, butter and olive oil.
• Two ounces of organic dark chocolate a day packs a health punch with
antioxidants and bioflavenoids as well as the release of endorphins
that act as antidepressants.
• Get at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight a day. Our bodies derive
vitamin D from the sun, which is crucial for bone health, has cancer-
fighting properties and assists with blood cell formation.
• Reduce toxins from your environment. "Buy house plants to reduce
pollution indoors and water filters to remove chlorine and other
harmful chemicals from your water," suggests Rubin. "And throw our
household cleaners with harsh chemicals that can cause allergies and
irritation."
• Forgive yourself and others. "The stress of harboring deadly emotions
builds up toxins in the body," explains Rubin. "Write down anything a
person has done to offend you, and then ask God to help you forgive
that person."

Diana Ross Presents 'I Love You,' a New Studio Album.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13 -- For her new studio album, Diana Ross has drawn inspiration from romantic songs that have touched her heart through the years, and she has dedicated the album to this most powerful universal emotion: love. "I Love You," to be released by Manhattan/EMI in CD and deluxe CD/DVD packages and digitally on January 16, presents 14 songs personally selected for the album by Diana Ross in appreciation of their timeless, classic expressions of love and romance, including a brand new song, "I Love You" a gentle ballad that captures the emotion of romance.

Recorded at multiple studios in Southern California, New York and London, "I Love You" features soaring orchestral arrangements to accompany the broad range and sensitivity of Ms. Ross' vocals, one of the world's most cherished musical instruments. The best players and singers from Los Angeles, New York and London were involved with the new album, and Ms. Ross attended every session, from the initial demos to tracking, overdubs and mixing. "When I was in the studio, sharing these songs, I was filled with strong emotion," says Ms. Ross. "These songs, these singers, these musicians and all my fans are a gift of love to me."
The CD's package includes stunning photos by Herb Ritts, Randee St. Nicholas and Douglas Kirkland and a letter to fans from Ms. Ross, who executive produced "I Love You." The package also contains notes from the album's co-executive producer, Marylata E. Jacob, a Grammy-nominated music supervisor and producer whose professional relationship with Ms. Ross spans 22 years, Peter Asher, who produced nine of the album's tracks, and who has collaborated with Ms. Ross on many of her most cherished recordings, and the producer of five of the album's tracks, Steve Tyrell, has produced many recordings with Ms. Ross including "Big Bad Love" with Ray Charles, and in 2005 produced her duet with Rod Stewart, "I've Got A Crush On You," the lead single from Stewart's "Thanks For The Memory: The Great American Songbook I." "I Love You"'s deluxe edition adds a DVD with a photo gallery and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new album.
Beginning and closing with Harry Nilsson's "Remember," the song that inspired Ms. Ross' vision for her new album, "I Love You" takes the listener on a vibrant journey through many of music's most timeless and recognizable affirmations of love. All of the songs chosen for the album are important and meaningful to Ms. Ross, from the sweet bounce of "More Today Than Yesterday," to the sultry allure of "I Want You," a song first recorded by Marvin Gaye that was co-written by Ms. Ross' brother, T-Boy Ross.
"We wanted to create the quintessential album to be played at celebrations of love and life: weddings, family gatherings, intimate moments," explains Marylata Jacob. "'I Love You' is Diana's personal offering to honor these celebrations of love, from the glance of your first true love, through the joy of children, and love everlasting."
Says Peter Asher, who returns to working with Diana having produced her 1991 hit album, "The Force Behind The Power," "I am proud that not only have Diana and I remained friends for 41 years, but that I have again been given the opportunity to work with her extraordinary voice in the studio. Her contribution in the studio was very significant, above and beyond her singing -- itself seemingly unchanged by the passing years in its emotional intensity and brilliance, yet having gained a certain wisdom and clarity that makes you believe every word she sings. On this record she tells us an eternal story, and does so with ineffable brilliance and accuracy."
The Songs:
"Remember" by Harry Nilsson inspired the album and its concept as Ms. Ross listened to it while reminiscing over her family's photo albums. Its dreaminess conjures up memories of love and present feelings. Ms. Ross feels a connection to Nilsson's work, as she has often performed songs from Nilsson's acclaimed musical, "The Point," in concert.
"More Today Than Yesterday" is a classic first performed by Spiral Starecase in the mid-1960s. Destined to be an audience favorite at Ms. Ross' concerts, the song is also one of her favorites. Ms. Ross' fun and bouncy new recording of the song is an inspired tribute to the joy of everlasting love.
"I Want You," first recorded by Marvin Gaye in 1974, was co-written by Ms. Ross' beloved brother, T-Boy Ross, with Leon Ware. Ms. Ross delivers a smoldering, sultry take on this track that honors the original while making it wholly her own.
"I Love You (That's All That Really Matters)" is a new original song, a gorgeous, heartfelt ballad. The writer, Fred White, has been touring with Ms. Ross as a back-up singer for six years. His experience of her live persona and vocal range inspired this song, written specifically with Ms. Ross in mind. Ms. Ross fell in love with the song, saying, "To be loved for who you are is the deepest expression of the purest love, wholly selfless and spiritual."
"What About Love" was written for Oprah Winfrey's stage production of "The Color Purple." The composers are Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray. Ms. Ross' relationship with Brenda Russell and her great friendship with Oprah inspired Ross' interest in the soundtrack, and she selected this powerful and moving song of love.
"The Look of Love" -- Ms. Ross captures all of its romance and anticipation. This classic song was written by two of the finest song writers of all time, Hal David and Burt Bacharach.
"Lovely Day" has a groove and a simple lyric that has universal appeal. "This song makes me dance," Ms. Ross says. "Everyone wants a lovely day." Written by Bill Withers.
"Take My Breath Away" is the decade's quintessential love song. Ms. Ross adds her own signature style to it with her new recording. The original recording is by Berlin.
"Only You" -- A new version decidedly Ms. Ross. Growing up in Detroit, listening to records while slow dancing under a single source of light was as close to heaven as it could get for Diana Ross, her own personal experience of young love.
"To Be Loved" was written by the legendary Berry Gordy, Jr. and was originally recorded by Jackie Wilson in 1958. It is the ultimate declaration of love, and Ms. Ross deftly balances the emotion of the song's sensitive lyrics with an upbeat and boundless delivery.
"I Will" -- Paul McCartney's simplicity of lyric and song melody made it a welcomed song for the heart of "I Love You." Ms. Ross' sweet vocals and Peter Asher's long history with the Beatles brought a lovely perspective of range and depth to the new recording.
"This Magic Moment," originally recorded by the Drifters, is made brand new with Ms. Ross' rendition. With its calypso-leaning arrangement and backing vocals, Ms. Ross' new version really pops.
"You Are So Beautiful" -- The song was chosen for its universal message of love and kindness. "It reaches out and speaks not only to lovers, but to relationships of all kinds, mother to child, child to grandparent, sister to sister, friend to friend," says Ms. Ross.
"Always And Forever" was written by famed songwriter Rod Temperton and originally recorded by Heatwave. Ms. Ross brings her brilliant sensitivity and gorgeous vocal delivery to the timeless love song for a magical contemporary classic.
Closing the new album's romantic journey is a reprise of the song that started it all, "Remember."
