They believe in real scents made from real plants and they think clean, healthy skin is beautiful. EO Products: Cruelty Free - No Animal Testing Certified Gluten Free Sustainable, BPA Free Packaging Certified B Corporation No Synthetic Fragrances, Artificial Colors or Dyes Essential Oils Are Used Along with Plant-Based Ingredients All Ingredients are Non-GMO No Parabens, Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbates, Phthalates Made in USA - Marin, CA Why Essential Oils? Magical EssencesEssential oils have been regarded with awe for centuries. The name 'essential oil' comes from theories in the Middle Ages of the fabled fifth element. There were believed to be four basic elements that made up all of existence: fire, water, air and earth. The elusive 'soul' of things was called the quintessential element or the fifth element. Over time it was shortened to essential. Alchemists swore that this element could change iron to gold… some believed it was the substance that held the planets in their orbits. Distillation & Extraction While essential oils won't turn iron into gold, they do have unique chemical makeups that captivate the minds and hearts of people around the world. It's hard not to fall in love with a tiny bottle that contains the concentrated essence of hundreds of plants. Most essential oils today are steam distilled. This process separates out the aromatic essential oils from the solid plant matter. With steam distillation it can take thousands of pounds of plant matter to create just one liter of essential oil. Other methods include expelling and solvent extraction. Expelling is simply using pressure to squeeze the essential oil out of the plant. This method is generally used for citrus oils. Solvent extraction uses substances such as CO2 to extract the essential oil. This method is used for delicate plants such as Rose and Jasmine which can be too fragile to withstand the distillation process. Good Scents (and more)Around the world, essential oils are being studied in modern clinical trials to try to substantiate ancient claims of healing. Essential oils are being studied for their effectiveness as antibacterial agents, fungicides, insecticides, pain relief, stress reduction and skin problems. More than anything else, essential oils are scents. Both perfumery and aromatherapy have waxed poetic about the purity of plant essences. Many of today's most well known perfumes are made with essential oils. AromatherapyAromatherapy stems from the use of scent to help with mood and relaxation. Scent is one of the most impactful senses, it is the only place in the human body where the outside world comes into direct contact with the central nervous system. Scent is perhaps the sense with the most powerful impact on our emotional state. Scents travel through the nose and into the primitive centers of the brain before reaching the logic centers. Aromatherapy is the practice of stimulating wellbeing through scent. Modern clinical studies have substantiated a few of the claims, such as Lavender being calming. However, scent seems to be very subjective. One person may relate a scent to feeling calm while others find that same scent energizing. So, while we can generalize with how scents make some people feel, the individual still has to try it for themselves to see what they love. Discover Your Essential OilsThe best way to start using essential oils is to start smelling them. Choose a bottle and open the cap. Take a deep inhalation, just letting the scent infuse your nose. Don't think too hard, rather feel how it affects you. Essential oils are alive and, in their own way, they will speak to you. Remember, aromatherapy isn't supposed to be rocket science… it's just good scents. EO Product Commitment EO is dedicated to making personal care products that nurture the people who use them, respect people who make them, and honor the planet we all share. They think the products put on skin are as important as what is put in the mouth. They like to know what's inside their lotions, soaps, and shampoos. So, at EO, they research, develop, manufacture, and ship their own products. EO didn't dream of being manufacturers - it's hard work. But they learned that the only way to know that the quality inside every bottle was up to their standards was to make it themselves. Over the last twenty years, as they grew from mixing blends in a three-gallon stock pot to producing hundreds of products in their 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility, they learned a lot about the cosmetics and personal care industry. The more they learned, the more they resolved to fight for transparency. EO Products only use the words organic or non-GMO when the ingredient or product is certified by an outside agency. They spend less on marketing their products than they do on ingredients because they believe that effective, great smelling products speak for themselves. As a Certified B Corp, they think that people and their home planet are more important than net profits. They have never taken venture capital and have no plans to do so. EO uses sustainable packaging. They research & develop in house. Everything they make is cruelty free and gluten free. They refuse to make a product that they wouldn't use on their own children or grandchildren. That means no synthetic fragrances or any ingredient that has been linked to allergies or sickness. They use pure essential oils to scent the products. They smell great and have soothing and uplifting effects on minds and spirits as well as bodies. They believe in a holistic approach to health. They believe healthy skin is beautiful. Because they only share important and third party verified certifications on their labels, they thought they'd outline what the certifications mean as well as mention a few things EO doesn't put on their labels. USDA Organic Certification SealThis USDA seal means that at least 95% (excluding water) of the ingredients are organic. Although every single product EO makes contains organic ingredients, they only use the USDA Organic seal when all of the ingredients are certified food grade organic. Every product they make is made in their certified organic facility, and many of the ingredients are organic. They have been a certified organic manufacturer since 2004. Non-GMOThis seal means that the ingredients have been certified as containing no genetically modified organisms. Just like their organic certification, this seal is the same one used for food. EO was the first personal care company to be certified non-GMO in 2011. All of their ingredients are GMO free, but only those that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project have the seal. Synthetic Fragrance FreeEO's products are always free from synthetic fragrances and are only scented with pure essential oils. They will never use harmful synthetic fragrances. Ever. Not only do essential oils smell better than synthetics, they promote mind/body/spirit wellbeing with their aromatherapeutic effects. QualityWith chemists on staff guided by Susan's artistry, they do not take formulation lightly. Every product is created in house; from research and development to manufacturing to shipping. They all work under the same roof for the same company and they make some of the best stuff on the planet. Cruelty FreeEO doesn't think beauty should come at the cost of other sentient beings. They have partnered with the Leaping Bunny organization to certify that their products are not tested on animals and that the ingredients used do not harm animals in labs or in the wild. Gluten FreeAll of the EO products are gluten free, so customers who are sensitive or allergic to gluten can enjoy these products. PCRMost of EO's packaging is made from 100% PCR or Post Consumer Recycled plastic. All of their packaging is BPA Free. They are constantly working with their packaging partners to find new and better ways to package the products. With hundreds of bottles, it can be challenging to find distributors that carry the size or shape needed for a new product in 100% PCR. EO uses their volume orders and undying persistence to convince all of their suppliers to use PCR. They work tirelessly towards the goal of 100% PCR in all of their packaging. B CorpB Corporations value purpose, accountability, and transparency. They are for-profit businesses that put equal value on social and environmental issues as they do on profits. EO has been working with the same values since day one, and they've been a certified B Corp since January 1, 2012. To join the B Corp community they had to undergo a rigorous assessment, looking at areas such as transparency, governance, community, and environment. FAQ's Q. What's the difference between EO and Everyone products?A. Everyone products are quality, natural body care made for every body and priced for every budget. They come in larger sizes and many have versatile uses, like the 3-in-1 lotions and soaps. Everyone products are perfect for everyone in the family. They are non-GMO plant-based formulas made with ingredients responsibly sourced from around the world, just like EO, but the formulations are simpler. EO is a luxurious line of products that promote mind/body/spirit wellbeing. The formulations are more complex than Everyone and their signature blends reflect 20 years of experience working with essential oils and botanical actives. The EO brand allows them to use rare and exotic fragrances and ingredients. Both brands feature 100% natural, pure essential oils (EO stands for Essential Oils) - they never have and never will use synthetic fragrances. Q. Are EO products vegan?A. Almost all EO products are vegan. The ones that are not vegan are easy to identify by the ingredient listed in the name of the product (for example, Oatmeal and Honey shampoo). Most EO Products Are Vegan, but These Are Not: EO Chamomile and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner EO Sulfate Free Keratin Shampoo EO Organic Peppermint Beeswax lip balm EO Oatmeal and Honey bar soap All other EO and Everyone products are completely vegan and none of their products are ever tested on animals. All testing, research, development, and manufacturing is done in a humans-only lab at their facility in Marin County, CA. EO Products, creator of EO and Everyone brands, is a certified green business, a certified B-Corporation, and the first certified non-GMO body care company. EO and Everyone products are also certified gluten free. Additionally, they are completely biodegradable and pH balanced. They have been manufacturing premium luxury body care products for 20 years using only the finest natural ingredients. While not all of their products are certified organic, they do opt for organic and wild-crafted ingredients whenever possible, and are a certified organic manufacturer. Q. Are EO kid's soaps and shampoos tear free?A. EO Products takes great pride in creating products that are good for both people and the planet. Everyone Kids Soaps are formulated with natural, mild soaps that are safe for children with skin allergies and sensitive skin. They specifically have not made these products 'tear free' since the ingredients commonly used to make products tear free are actually harmful to the eyes. Commonly used ingredients to make products tear free include anesthetizing agents like synthetic alkyl polyethoxylates and/or alkyl phenol polyethoxylates. These alkyl ingredients temporarily numb the eye so that the sting of the shampoo is not felt. These ingredients are commonly used in pesticide products to anesthetize insects and they can penetrate the skin and cause organ toxicity in people. EO soaps are natural and harmless, but it is always recommended to keep any soap out of the eyes. If any soap does get into the eyes, simply wash it out with lukewarm water. Q. I'm concerned about some of the ingredients. How do I know they are safe?A. EO values their conscious customers and welcome the opportunity to tell them what the company is doing right in a world that has gone so bad. EO Products, creator of EO and Everyone brands, is a Certified B-Corporation. That means they voluntarily agree to 3rd party oversight to ensure they meet higher standards of transparency, accountability, and performance. EO recognizes the interdependence of all living things and take great pride in creating products that are good for both people and the planet. That philosophy is at the core of every aspect of their business, from developing formulas to sourcing ingredients to manufacturing and operations. For the past 20 years they have been creating body care products using the cleanest ingredients available that are also safe and effective. They manufacture their own products so they can ensure the ingredients and sub-ingredients are sourced from like-minded responsible suppliers who also follow sustainable practices. While it's sometimes necessary to include ingredients to keep a product safe from spoilage or contamination, EO scientists draw on years of research and testing to find ingredients that will leave the least negative impact on the environment and consumers. EO continues to learn by following new research, and because they control manufacturing, are able to respond quickly by changing the formulas if necessary. Q. Why does EO use phyoxyethanol in their products?A. Many customers are concerned about phenoxyethanol because there's quite a bit of online controversy about its safety. Fundamentally, it's poorly interpreted science. Effective preservatives are vital for ensuring safety. Most personal care products are made with a lot of water and a variety of nutrients, which makes an incredibly hospitable breeding ground for microorganisms. Consider all of the natural oils and botanicals in EO and Everyone products! Why they use it: EO uses phenoxyethanol in a very low concentration as a preservative in the products because the most accessible alternatives for these types of formulas include parabens and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. Both are classes of chemicals with demonstrable evidence of potential health risks, whereas phenoxyethanol is very safe at low levels. It's been tested on the skin and eyes and it is non-irritating and non- sensitizing at levels of 2.2% or lower while being effective at only 1% concentrations. The European Union and Japan both approve its use up to that 1% level and EO formulas fall well below the recommendation at 0.5% or less (depending on the specific product). Most of the studies that have found significant negative health impacts are based on full-strength or high-dose exposures. In real life usage, exposures are quite small. That's why it's approved at levels up to 1%. It's all about the final formulation. Even better, phenoxyethanol doesn't react with other ingredients, air, or light. This kind of stability makes it an especially effective preservative. What's more, it's included in the Handbook of Green Chemicals and is also Whole Foods Premium Body Care approved. Their standards, developed by a team of scientists over the course of years, are some of the strictest available. Q. How is the Palm Oil used in EO products sourced?A. EO understands Palm Oil is a hot topic on a lot of minds and they appreciate customers' concern for the environment and animals. Their Palm Oil comes from Brazil where there are no orangutans or other large primates. At EO Products, they recognize the interdependence of all living things and take great pride in creating products that are good for both people and the planet. That philosophy is at the core of every aspect of their business, from sourcing and manufacturing, to packaging and operations. They make environmental stewardship a priority over profits so that you can feel good about using EO products, knowing they were made with honesty and integrity. They don't think sentient beings should suffer for beauty so they source their Palm Oil from responsible producers that follow sustainable practices. Q. Why does EO use dimethicone in their products?A. They use dimethicone in some of their products because it acts as a skin protectant and conditioning agent. EO understands that there is concern with this ingredient. They take this very seriously, as they do with all their ingredients. And yet, they use it because they know that it is safe. Dimethicone is a silicone based polymer. Silicon is ubiquitous in the earth and silicon dioxide is common sand. Silicon, like carbon, can form polymers. Dimethicone in its simplest form (which we use) is a fluid mixture of siloxane polymers. It is clear, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. Dimethicone has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, and the panel concluded that these ingredients were safe for use in cosmetics. The CIR Expert Panel considered it unlikely that any silicone polymers would be significantly absorbed into the skin due to the large molecular weight of these polymers - unlike smaller molecules like Parabens, propylene glycol, which they never use. Additionally, the FDA reviewed the safety of dimethicone and approved its use as a skin protectant active ingredient in over-the-counter drug products and as a food ingredient. Silicones or "cones" come in a large variety of chemical forms based on adding chemical substitutions to the base molecule. In EO's opinion, these derivatives may not be as healthy a choice as the simple molecule and they do not use them. Q. Do EO products contain Peanuts or tree nuts?A. None of EO products contain peanut or peanut oil but some of their products do contain tree nut oils. The following tree nut oils are used in some of EO's products: Coconut Oil Sweet Almond Oil Macadamia Nut Oil Babassu Oil Products that contain these tree nut oils are: EO Organic Bath Salts, Time Out EO Smooth Serum EO Hair Detangler EO Body Oil French Lavender EO Hair Repair EO Pre Shampoo Therapy All EO and Everyone Conditioners All Everyone Lotions Everyone Face Moisturizer Everyone Nourish Body Oil Everyone Good Love Body Oil EO Organic Body Serum 01 Revitalizing EO Ageless Coconut Cleansing Milk EO Ageless Moroccan Lava Clay Exfoliating Scrub EO Ageless Transformative Night Serum Q. I'm experiencing a reaction to one of EO's products, aren't they supposed to be natural?A. Natural, non-GMO and organic do not equate to allergen free. Natural products are made from plant and animal sources. People can be allergic to plants and animals. It is not unusual for people to have a reaction to plant extracts any more than it is for people to have seasonal allergies, or a food allergy. If you are experiencing a reaction, discontinue use immediately and see your health care provider if symptoms persist. Q. I never used to have a reaction to this product but I seem to be experiencing one now after years of use.A. Prolonged exposure to small amounts of an allergen can create an allergic reaction. If you are mildly allergic to a plant, flower, or tree you may never notice a reaction unless you expose yourself to that ingredient regularly. If you are experiencing a reaction, discontinue use immediately and see your healthcare provider if symptoms persist. Q. Are EO products safe for septic, gray water, and water reclamation systems?A. All EO and Everyone products are biodegradable. They are made with gentle plant-based ingredients and are pH balanced, safe for grey water systems and septic systems, and are a great choice for use on the lake, river, boat, and for outdoor bathing. Sustainable Manufacturing EO researches, develops, formulates, makes, and manufactures over 300 products right where they live - in Marin County, California. They have always worked this way and always will. They're passionate about making products with the best ingredients and the least impact on the planet.

They test each batch, and if there are any problems, they stop the line until fixed. With their own manufacturing facility, they are able to innovate business practices. They have pioneered personal care manufacturing with their OTC and Organic Certified facility. They use a closed loop water cooling system which saves tens of thousands of gallons of water every year.

Essential oils and creative collaboration are how the EO story begins, and how their company is defined. The culture of EO products is the essence of creative collaboration, the collective work of like minded people working towards a common goal. Their co-founders and co-CEOs, Susan Griffin-Black and Brad Black are the core of their collaborative spirit. Once Upon a Time in a GarageIn 1995, Brad and Susan were asked to create five essential oils blends for Bloomingdale's holiday gift guide. In a garage on Potrero Hill in San Francisco, Susan and Brad began the creative process that would evolve over the next twenty years into hundreds of products researched, developed, manufactured, and shipped from their 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Marin County, CA to millions of happy people across the world. Like most pioneers, Brad and Susan didn't set out to change the world. They just wanted to do business the way they thought it should be done. When they were mixing batches of soap in their 3 gallon stock pot, they weren't thinking about being pioneers in the cosmetics industry. But, that's exactly where their ideals would take them. Love Life, Live Clean Susan and Brad wanted to work the way they lived; inspired, healthy, in touch with nature and generous. They had a simple vision, they wanted to live like they were retired. For them, that meant spending time with family and friends, not worrying about money and making sure they were leaving the planet in a way that honored their children and grandchildren. Brad and Susan didn't think there had to be a separation between work, home, and personal life. They believed in one life, one that valued transparency and trust. Susan and Brad decided to name their company EO for the essential oils that were both their first products and the heart and soul of everything they would create. They chose the motto: Love Life, Live Clean. They felt that simple statement explained the purpose of their vision. Certification Pioneers As the product line grew, so did their family. Susan and Brad soon became nearly 40 people all working in the facility in Corte Madera. They expanded the product line and learned about the personal care industry. In 2004, they became a certified organic manufacturer - certified by the Coalition of Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). This certification is typically used for food. Because there are no certifications in the personal care or cosmetics industry for organic ingredients, EO chose to follow the guidelines for food. When Whole Foods asked them to make a natural hand sanitizer in 2006, they were happy to take on the challenge. Their dedication to non-GMO ingredients led them to an organic alcohol derived from cane sugar and the hand sanitizers were born, proving to the world that no one had to choose between natural and effective. With FDA approval, EO became a certified OTC manufacturer and the world was introduced to hand sanitizers that were gentle, moisturizing, smelled great, and were effective against 99.9% of common germs. They're proud of their hand sanitizers. They're the leading natural hand sanitizer on the market. In 2011, EO became the first personal care company to be certified non-GMO - certified by the Non-GMO Project. Since there are still no regulations on cosmetics or personal care items when it comes to certification of ingredients, they sought the certification used for food. Love EveryoneIn 2012, EO took their ten years' experience and launched a line of products designed for young people and large families that had little or no choice for natural body products. With a 32oz. bottle of soap priced at $10, these products were priced for every budget. Everyone for Every Body was born. Everyone's immediate success led to a new facility in San Rafael. This 40,000 square foot space can accommodate EO's growing family for the time being. Brad and Susan's dream of one life filled with collaboration, creativity, and care is alive and well. They all work together under one roof to make some of the best personal care essentials in the world. EO offices smell like essential oils and the collaborative spirit and friendly atmosphere inspires them daily. Meet EO Products' Founders Brad Black and Susan Griffin-Black had a simple vision about twenty years ago. They wanted to live like they were already retired. "When you're retired," says Brad, "you don't stress about money. You care about the world you're leaving to your kids and grandkids. You take things a little slower and a lot less seriously." Their shared desire to live every day in 'retirement' led them to running EO Products, makers of EO and Everyone personal care products. Susan: The AlchemistSusan Griffin-Black was born to be her own boss. From her first endeavor at eight selling lemonade to fund Beatles tickets, to co-owning two successful clothing stores at twenty-one, her driving sense of beauty and style was her guide. She followed her passion for design to San Francisco where she owned clothing stores that carried her own line of clothing and designed several lines for Esprit. It was on a trip to Europe that she first encountered essential oils in an apothecary shop and the love affair that would guide the next twenty years of her life began. She studied aromatherapy and the chemistry of perfumes and acquired her own collection of tiny glass bottles filled with flower and plant essences. When Bloomingdale's asked her to make essential oil mixes for their holiday gift guide, Susan felt a dream had come true. Her dedication to Buddhism and its simple but elusive eightfold path has guided her decision making in business as well as life. Susan's aesthetic and quiet strength pervades every aspect of EO. She has guided every product EO has made, adding a drop of this and a bit of that until it feels (and smells) right. Brad: Passion & PrideBrad Black was buying organic cotton for his company, Maine-Iac, before anyone even knew what that meant. His passion for doing the right thing is apparent in his dynamic approach to life. He is the hands-on half of the team, creating a refill system from scratch, travelling to store locations to talk to brokers about company values and keeping an eye on manufacturing. His love for business started at a young age as well. He can't remember a time he wasn't selling produce, art, or plants to his neighbors and friends. Brad has been a pioneer in changing the way things are done in the personal care and cosmetics industry. His willingness to take things head on and not take 'no' for an answer made EO an industry leader in sustainable business practices. Brad's regular blog is a collection of reflections, observations, and rants about the challenges of being authentic in an industry that seems to value flash over substance.

PHILADELPHIA - Eight straight. Again. For the second time this season, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team has won eight in a row. They did so in commanding fashion. The Quakers buried Brown in a 28-point hole at the half and cruised to a 78-51 win at The Palestra on Saturday night.
Penn (16-5, 6-1 Ivy) matched the second-longest winning streak in school history - set earlier this year. Prior to this season, Penn had just one win streak of eight or more games in its entire history. This also marks just the second time Penn has ever posted back-to-back 16-win seasons.
At Penn's annual Pink Game where proceeds go toward the fight against breast cancer, the Quakers gave the pink-clad home crowd plenty to cheer about.
The Bears entered the game ranked eighth in the nation in three-point percentage and quickly knocked down their first two attempts. The Ivy League's leading scorer, Lauren Clarke, scored the first eight points for Brown and had the visitors within 9-8 at the 16:25 mark.
However, the Quakers entered the game with the nation's sixth-best defense and it engulfed the Bears for the rest of the half. Brown, which had 14 turnovers in the first half, missed 12 straight shots and went nearly 10 minutes without a point.
Penn capitalized with 19 straight points. Junior Renee Busch was a spark off the bench once again. She drained a pair of threes in that stretch. Senior captain Alyssa Baron, who moved into 11th-place on the Ivy League's career scoring list, added eight points during the run and capped it off with one of her four threes on the night. That put Penn up, 27-8, with 7:07 left in the half.
Brown ended its drought with four straight points, but Penn poured in 13 of the next 15 and ended the half on a 16-3 run. Penn's 43 points at the break were a season-high and the 28-point halftime lead was the largest in the Coach McLaughlin era.
Junior Kathleen Roche took over at the outset of the second stanza. She scored the first six points of the half and the Quakers led 49-15 with 18:41 to play.
The lead grew to as many as 37, 59-22, after a three-point play from senior Courtney Wilson and a long jumper from freshman Melanie Lockettwith 14:30 remaining.
The Quakers removed their starters and Brown whittled away at its deficit. The Quakers went nearly 10 minutes without a field -- connecting on five free throws in that span -- and the Bears closed to within, 63-43 at the 6:11 mark.
But freshman center Sydney Stipanovich, who finished with her sixth double-double of the season, scored the next three points and Baron hit her last three of the night to put the Quakers back up 27 with just over four minutes to go.
Inside the Numbers
Every Penn player either had scored or had a rebound. Stipanovich finished with 13 points, and 10 rebounds in addition to five more blocks. She now has 82 this season and that ranks as sixth-most in a single-season in Ivy history. Baron netted a game-high 22 points and added seven assists.
For the game, Penn had 19 assists on 23 buckets and connected on 47.9 percent (23-of-48) of its shots. Brown was 19-of-57 (33.3%) from the floor and finished 9-of-21 (42.9%) from beyond the arc. The Quakers bettered one of the national leaders from downtown as they connected on 10-of-18 (55.6%) three-point shots. Penn outscored Brown in the paint (22-8), off turnovers (28-12) and off the bench (25-18). The Red and Blue also won the rebounding battle, 41-30.
The only other time the Quakers won 16 games in back-to-back seasons was 1999-00 (18-10) and 2000-01 (22-6).
Up Next
A four-game road swing awaits the Quakers as Penn will make two trips through New England in the next two weeks. The Red and Blue are at Harvard (Feb. 21) and Dartmouth (Feb. 22) followed by trips to Brown (Feb. 28) and Yale (March 1).

John Sell Cotman
Rochester Castle
John Sell Cotman
British; English, 1782-1842
Rochester Castle, ca. 1830
Watercolor and watercolor in flour-paste medium and pen and ink over graphite on paper
21.3 x 30.8 cm (8 3/8 x 12 1/8 inches)
Anonymous gift 69.154.7
Although John Sell Cotman was little recognized during his lifetime, today he is regarded as one of the most original interpreters of watercolor. His work from the first decade of the nineteenth century, which is also represented in RISD's collection, is especially admired for its highly developed sense of design. This richly colored late work is the result of experiments Cotman begtan about 1830 with mixing a flour paste into the watercolor to strengthen the hue while retaining the medium's translucence. The robustness of color equals the boldness of his composition. Color pen lines were used to sharpen the details of Rochester Castle, located in the County of Kent, east of London.

Most European Cellphone Users Now Own a Smartphone
More than half of cellphone owners now use a smartphone in the five largest markets in the European Union according to analysts. Android is the leading operating system by far and Samsung has overtaken Apple as the largest manufactures of handsets, according to the latest figures from analyst comScore's Mobilens.
The numbers come from a "nationally representative" sample of mobile subscribers aged over 13 in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K.. They cover the period ending October 31, 2012.
Spain is at the top of the pile for smartphone usage: 63.2% of all mobile phone users now on smartphones, a rise of nearly 15% percentage points on last year. It was also in the lead a year ago…
The UK has also seen an almost-similar rise, with 62.3% of consumers here now using smartphones. The only market that has yet to break the 50% barrier in the group is Germany, at 48.4%.
In terms of handset manufacturers across the five economies, Samsung is the big gainer. It now has 30.4% of the market compared with 16.2% a year ago. Apple is almost unchanged on 20.6% compared with 20.5%. The biggest loser is Nokia which was at the top with 30.2% and has now dropped to 17.8%. HTC has fallen from 10.7% to 8.9% and RIM BlackBerry from 9.4% to 7.8%.
Google Android is now the platform for 46.6% of smartphones with Apple on 20.5%, Symbian on 17.2%, RIM on 7.8% and Microsoft on 4.7%. A year ago Symbian was the most popular platform, powering 32.5% of European smartphones.

Mastodon bones discovered at Little Narrows Gyspum date back to 80,000 years ago.
LITTLE NARROWS — The discovery of rare bones has created quite a buzz at Little Narrows Gypsum and the local community.
A quarry supervisor was checking an area that had been blasted and discovered a bone.
"It turns out it was the tibia which is the shinbone of a mastodon," explained Department of Natural Resources senior geologist John Calder. "From what they told me, Lawrence MacNeil and fellow worker Sandy MacLeod carefully took out the bone and looking around found about six other bones and some fragments."
Calder visited the quarry this week along with a curator from the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History in Halifax. The bones have since been taken to the museum where it is expected they will eventually be on display.
"I'm so impressed with the company, these guys who are all local, they did the right thing including the plant manager," Calder said. "This is exciting, it is important. These things aren't found every day. "
Calder said there have only been a handful of mastodon bones found in the Maritimes.
He said the two most notable are one found in Hillborough, N.B. in 1936 and one found in a gypsum mine at East Milford, N.S. in 1991. There was also a femur found in Middle River years ago and three molars were found by fishermen off Georges Bank.
"We are going to send off a piece of bone and wood for carbon 14 dating to Woods Hole Oceanographic in the (United) States," he said. "This will determine if they can get a more accurate date, that will be really fascinating. Carbon 14 dating is a way of dating organic material that is younger than 50,000 years. "
Calder said gypsum formed when a sea evaporated across the Maritimes about 330 million years ago. Water created caves and hollows in the gypsum that had been filled in with peat and muck.
"Back in the ice age these creatures had been probably walking across a bog, stepped into a particularly deep spot, sunk down under their great weight. They were mired in these sinkholes and couldn't get out," Calder said. "If you were to write a manual on how to trap a mastodon in the ice age, this would be how to do it."
When the bones were discovered, about a week ago, plant manager Byron MacMillan moved the operation to a different section of the quarry.
"The main big bone was in two pieces and there were several other bones about 50 feet below the surface," MacMillan said. "It is the nature of the operation for workers to be on the lookout for anything unusual, teeth often fall off loaders or dozers, so the guys are always alert."
Calder will be back at the site within a week or so to check for more bones.
The workers carefully set aside about five dump truck loads of material taken from the area where the bones were located.
"The company has offered to gradually spread the material with their machines so we can see if there is any other bone material," Calder said. "They took such care of the fossils, that's not making them any money, they are just being good citizens doing the right thing."

RELAX, IT'S JUST WATER: We were vacationing down in San Diego last week, because we're rich. You don't have a new book tickling the 50,000th position on the amazon.com sales ranking without a little coin rattling around in your pocket.
Anyhow, we wandered down one warm and pleasant spring day to the book shop in downtown San Diego's Seaport Village to see if they had our book prominently displayed which, to our bitter disappointment, they didn't. We were sort of setting ourself up for the blow because our book hadn't been released yet. Still, a pirated copy or two would've been nice to see.
Anyhow, while we were looking at other things in the store, a young woman was buying some pastries at the bookstore's bakery/coffee counter. There's no money in just selling books anymore. If you're going to have a successful book store, you need to have a world-class muffin department to help offset your losses. That, plus a bunch of gimcracks like funny coffee mugs and refrigerator-magnet poetry.
The woman stashed her purchase into an oversized straw basket and then remembered that she was thirsty.
"I forgot, I need to get a bottle of water," she told the bakery/book clerk. "I'll just pay cash for it."
She rummaged around for wherever it is she kept her cash and then said, "Actually, can I just get a cup of water?"
The book/baked goods business isn't so robust that a proprietor can chase off business by denying customers complimentary tap water, so the multipurpose worker said, "Yes I can do that."
The young woman said: "That would be awesome."
And this brings us to today's rant, which is all about how the Englitch language has been sacked and plundered to the point that all the superlatives have been watered down to the point where you don't even get a light buzz off them anymore.
There's no better example than the overuse of "awesome," a word once kept in a glass case to be issued forth to describe views of Earth as it rises over the moon's horizon and now used as a frilly substitute for "satisfactory."
Don't look at us. We have been parsimonious and judicious in our use of the term. We could only find two instances of us dragging the word into this space over the last year or two (although we were sort of hoping that a search box containing "grobaty" and "awesome" would result in a few more hits than that). One use of "awesome" referred to the talent drawn by the 49er Banjo, Fiddle & Guitar festivals held at Cal State Long Beach in the 1970s; the other was used to describe the momentum generated by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in the mythical Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach celebrity race in the 1930s. We think we're standing on solid-ish ground on those usages.
Nor are we saying a glass of water can't be an awesome thing. To a Sudanese refugee, a glass of cool, clear San Diego water is the stuff of dreams.
But to a lady sporting a madras blouse a shade darker than pastel, and a pair of jeans with a label we didn't catch and toting a Kate Spade bag a couple of seasons after the whole Kate Spade bag thing has sailed, and forgetting that she was thirsty until after she had purchased a sack of scones, setting the "awesome" bar at a cup of tap water leaves us bereft of any words to employ when referring to anything greater than that.
If a cup of San Diego water is "awesome," what sort of rhapsodies would be sung to the bottle of Metroelectro Micronutrient Water that stands like a little monument on our desk right now?
Actually, considering that we reuse the bottle and fill it up with tap water each day, we guess merely "awesome" will be satisfactory.

Baseball Opens Spring Practice Friday
Baseball Opens Spring Practice Friday
Jan. 25, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Three weeks prior to the 2013 college baseball season, Kansas State will begin preparations for the 113th year in program history Friday with a two-hour workout at Tointon Family Stadium.
Over the next 21 days, the Wildcats will conduct 17 practices before their season-opening weekend at The Citadel Memorial Challenge, Friday-Sunday, February 15-17, held at Riley Park in Charleston, S.C. The Wildcats open the season against High Point before taking on The Citadel and George Mason to close out the weekend.
K-State brings back the services of 15 letterwinners, including a pair of All-Big 12 performers in junior Jared King (second team) and senior Tanner Witt (honorable mention). The Wildcats have plenty of experience returning in the field as six of the nine players in last year's starting lineup are back, as well as eight pitchers from a team that advanced to the postseason for a sixth-straight season.
Both King and Witt have earned honors prior to the season as King was named a Second Team All-American by Perfect Game and a First Team All-Big 12 performer by College Sports Madness. Witt was a second team all-conference preseason pick by College Sports Madness.
Along with Witt, the Wildcats will be led by three other seniors in outfielder Jon Davis and pitchers Jake Doller and Joe Flattery. K-State also boasts a strong, experienced junior class that includes King, catcher Blair DeBord, infielders Ross Kivett and RJ Santigate, and pitchers Gerardo Esquivel and Jared Moore.
Brad Hill, who ranks seventh among active coaches with a career winning percentage of .692, enters his 10th year at the helm of the Wildcats and is just seven wins shy of becoming the second coach in school history with 300 victories. Pitching coach Josh Reynolds is back for his third year, while 2013 will be the first season for hitting coach Mike Clement, a former assistant on the Texas A&M staff.
Following play at The Citadel Memorial Challenge, the Wildcats return to South Carolina the next weekend to take part in "Baseball at the Beach" at TicketReturn.com Field in Myrtle Beach. K-State faces host school Coastal Carolina on Friday, February 22, before taking on Elon on February 23, and Kentucky on February 24.
Kansas State opens its 31-game home slate and a 19-game homestand with a three-game series against Oakland, Friday-Sunday, March 1-3. The homestand also includes the start of Big 12 play, March 15-17, as the Wildcats welcome conference newcomer West Virginia to Tointon Family Stadium.
Season tickets for the 2013 season remain available in the general admission bench area along the first and third base lines for as little at $75, a family-friendly average of less than $2.50 per game. Reserved chairback seating in the lower bowl of the stadium in Sections 1 and 2, and Section 7 above the concourse behind home plate are priced at $125, while general admission chairback seating in Sections 6 and 8 above the concourse are available for $115 each. Single-game tickets will go on sale Monday, February 18.
The most convenient way to order tickets is online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets. Fans may also call the K-State Athletics Ticket office at 1-800-221-CATS or visit the office inside Bramlage Coliseum.

AUDIO Movie Reviews: "Gravity", "The Counselor"
Hap Erstein with PalmBeachArtsPaper.com catches up on "Gravity" and tells us about some new releases, including one especially for fans of the Beatles.
"12 Years a Slave" - The true story about a free black man who gets sold into slavery.
"Gravity" - You may also call this one "Clooney and Bullock in Space". Hap really likes this one.
"The Counselor" - Hap says this movie proves that a huge cast doesn't always make for a good film. Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz star in a film about a successful lawyer who dabbles in the drug trade.
"Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" - An 8 year old boy and his grandfather travel the country performing hidden camera tricks and stunts. Johnny Knoxville also stars.
Hap's Art House Pick of the Week
"Good Ol' Freda" - Freda Kelly was asked to become the secretary for a group trying to make it big in Liverpool, England. Their name was The Beatles. For the first time, she opens up in a documentary that Beatles fans should love.

I have recently added some weight training to my schedule. I do weights 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings). I am looking to get stronger rather than bigger, how many reps/sets should I be doing for each exercise?
I have recently added some weight training to my schedule. I do weights 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings). I am looking to get stronger rather than bigger, how many reps/sets should I be doing for each exercise?
For upper body to build power keep reps to 10 for two sets however second set if you go to fail and get above 15 increase the weight.
For legs 2 sets for 20 reps as the muscles in the legs are bigger. this way you constantly push our muscles and increase strength
Not this ^^ Start off with 5 sets of 5 reps, compound exercises; Squat/front squat, deadlifts, bench, barbell rows, push press etc. If you want to do some work in the higher rep range work on bodyweight exercises such as chins, dips, handstand presses etc.
i use 4x4 when lifting and as stated thats just bench, squat and deadlift
Strategy can subsitute for talent, but talent will never subsitute for strategy.
"Sometimes hype just isn't enough" Jens Pulver
Yes 5 x 5, 4 x 4 and other such variations of the squat, deadlift and benchpress are considered the cornerstone of strength training. However this is training limit strength as opposed to power, for this you need to look at olympic lifts and their variations a very good resource is the t nation forum:
I personally got some good gains from this
Old skool but effective
I must admit I added some arms excercises and shrugs to it as well.
sorry to bump an old thread but i have been trying to get my head round this prilepins table /\ and i just dont get it.
I have been searching the forum and there seems to be so many differing opinions but alot seem to use the table. I have tried to put a programme together from the website in post #8 above but i'm just not sure i've got it right. can anyone give me an example programme i could follow detailing what exercises, sets and reps i sould be doing?
I have only just got back into the gym, i'm a bit out of shape and my fitness could be better. I dont want to put weight on as i'm already around 95kg's and only 5'9'', i just want to improve my strength and fitness etc. I generally do around 10 mins on the rowing machine to warm up, then do a few weights, then 20 mins on the treadmill, followed by some sit-ups etc then cool down for 10 mins on the bike which is basically what the lad in the gym told be to do!
Any help greatly appreciated, I feel like i'm just aimlessly lifting weights at the moment with no real purpose.

Tucker blasts Tornados into split with Lions on SaturdayMarch 10, 2012
CLemens adds solo home run as Brevard takes game two, 4-3
Mars Hill, N.C. - Kayla Clemens and Brittany Tucker helped Brevard College bounce back after dropping their SAC opener against Mars Hill as the Tornados rallied to take game two of the doubleheader against the Lions as Brevard split the series with Mars Hill, losing the first game 2-0, before taking the second game 4-3.
Alyssa Miller (4-6) picked up her fourth win of the season as Brevard moves to 10-12, 1-1 SAC on the season, while Taylor Hussey (4-5) recorded the win for Mars Hill (12-12, 1-1 SAC) in the opener.
Game One: Mars Hill 2, Brevard 0
Box Score
Ally Davenport led the Brevard offense with two hits in the contest, but Natalie Haithcox did the damage for the Lions in the game, drilling a pair of solo home runs to give the Lions the 2-0 victory in the SAC opener for both teams.
Haithcox opened the scoring in the bottom of the second, leading off the frame with a solo home run over the right centerfield fence to put the Lions on top early. Haithcox added her second home run of the contest and ninth of the season in the fourth inning, again hitting the ball over the fence in right centerfield to double the Mars Hill lead and provide Hussey with a cushion.
The Tornados best chance to put a dent in the score came in the top of the seventh inning as Davenport reached on a one-out infield single. She moved to second on a passed ball and reached third on a groundout to put Brevard in prime scoring position, but Hussey escaped with the shutout intact as the Lions topped the Tornados 2-0.
Game Two: Brevard 4, Mars Hill 3
Box Score
Clemens took revenge in the second game, blasting a pitch over the left field fence to score the first run and Tucker put across the insurance run with a solo home run in the top of the sixth as Brevard held on to defeat Mars Hill in the nightcap as Miller picked up the Tornados first SAC win of the season.
Clemens and Tucker both scored twice, while Heather Morris and Maddie Fletcher drove in a run apiece as the Tornados offset a 3-for-3 performance from the plate by Stephanie McGrath in the win.
Clemens blasted the Tornados into the lead in the top of the second inning, driving a pitch from Morris over the left field fence to lead off the frame as Brevard built the 1-0 lead. Mars Hill answered in the bottom half of the inning as McGrath singled in Haithcox with one out as the Lions loaded the bases, but Miller retired the next two batters on strikes to keep the Lions at bay and the score tied.
The Tornados went up for good in the top of the fourth inning as Brevard placed runs on first and third with one out in the inning. Morris singled in Clemens, driving a ball through the left side of the infield to put Brevard up 2-1 and Fletcher followed with a double down the left field line, scoring Tucker to give BC a 3-1 lead.
McGrath again answered for the Lions, cutting into the lead with an infield single in the fifth inning, scoring Morris with two outs as Mars Hill again loaded the bases, but Miller retired Sarah Kruysman on strikes to end the frame and the threat.
Tucker put an insurance run across the plate in the top of the sixth, leading off the inning with a shot settling over the left centerfield fence for her first home run with the Tornados, putting Brevard up 4-2 with two innings to play.
Mars Hill threatened the Brevard lead again in the bottom of the sixth as Ashley McCurry tripled down the right field line, coming around to score on Hussey's groundout. The Lions placed a runner in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Emily Boykin caught Megan Arrington attempting to steal third and Miller closed out the contest to record the 4-3 victory.
Brevard returns home on Tuesday, March 13th as the Tornados continue South Atlantic Conference play at the BC Softball Field for their SAC home opener against Anderson University. First pitch in the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Trojans is set for 2 p.m.

Here is a little guide of everything that I have learnt when setting up my Revo, all the info was gathered from various posts on here
Just thought id put it all together as if i had found this post i would have saved me HOURS !!! lol..
1) Add an extra 1gig of RAM: (Crucial 1GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Laptop Memory)
You need to unfortunetly viod the warrenty sticker and remove the one philips head screw to fit the ram. Once this is out, you can then pull off the whole side panel....
2) Bios Settings:
Enter the Bios and disable "Use RevoBoot", then set the dedicated Memory to the GPU from AUTO to CUSTOM and then below set it to 512meg
3) Addings Nvidia Drivers to the XBMC-Live Installer:
First you need to download XBMC-Live and then add the Nvidia drivers to the ISO. You can either do this yourself with an iso editer (UltraISO) or download this ISO of XBMC Live 9.04.1 with the updated NVIDIA.185_18_14 drivers allready added: http://www.fusedimages.com/xbmc.zip (thanks Duplo)
4) Installing XBMC Live on the Revo:
As the revo has no optical drive, you will have to buy/borrow a USB Drive. Burn your ISO to a CDR using Imgburn (http://www.imgburn.com/ and then load into the USB drive.
Turn on the Revo and when it is booting press F12 to load the boot menu. Choose your USB Drive.
When XBMC Live boots you will see options to either run it from the CDR or install to the HARD DRIVE or a USB device.
I choose to install to hard drive as there was nothing else worth keeping on the revo drive. Choose your Hard drive, and then Yes to confirm.
** You are confirming that EVERYTHING will be erased from the hard drive / USB stick you have choosen!
After it has installed, your revo will turn off, unplug the USB drive and reboot to XBMC (fingers crossed)
5) Video and Audio Settings in XBMC:
XBMC should load up nicely and your Revo should correctly report the GPU as ION
VIDEO: Setting > Video > Play:
Set Render to - VDPAU
AUDIO: Settings > system > audio hardware >
Audio output (digital) - Digital
Audio output device - hdmi
Passthrough output device - hdmi
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo - ON
If you would like to Setup your remote control or get the menu sounds working you will need to edit a couple of files.
These files can be accessed by an FTP client. I used WinSCP on a windows PC.. You enter your IP and username and password (I set a secure root password) and then browse the files.
So setup the menu sounds create a blank notepad file and enter into it:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
save it as asoundrc.txt
Then FTP it over to you revo, into USER / XBMC folder. Once its in there rename it to .asoundrc
Good Luck

I have tried to install XBMC live on 2 different Revos with 2 different firmwares and the installer couldn't see the drive either time.
USB drives were visible, but not the SATA drive. I tried with and without RevoBoot enabled in the BIOS.
One of my Revos came with Windows, the other with Linux.
Yet I can install a minimal Ubuntu install to both of them.
Has anybody else experienced this?

I'm having some trouble installing XBMC Live (using the image linked by burgemaster) via a USB Flash stick.
After booting up the initial screen (where you select if you want to load XBMC Live with Nvidia, Ati drivers etc or install to HDD) it just sorta hangs with a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen. This happens after selecting either to load XBMC Live or install to HDD. The XBMC logo then appears for a little while, then a black screen with just the cursor blinking.
Any suggestions?

Hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get the xbmc live to install to both usb and sd on my acer revo.
I'm using a 360 hd dvd to boot the xbmc iso that was posted with the nvidia drivers, and I'm trying to install it to usb or sd because I have xp installed on the hd. The hd is partitioned into 2 drives with xp and a second partition. I was hoping to install xbmc live onto the 2nd partition but the boot cd didn't even recognise the 2nd partition. If anyone you guys have any solutions to my problems Ive be very grateful.

The entire list
Daily Comments
Kutahya Destan TV, August 5th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: If Turkey becomes the elder brother of the region, do you think the walls in Israel will still be needed? These walls will be removed. They will face great relief and their economy will grow . They can go anywhere they want to go . PEOPLE EMBRACE THE TURKISH SOLDIERS WITH LOVE AND JOY. Turkish soldiers are brave and kind-hearted people and they act fairly. Everyone throughout the world loves them. If they go to Afghanistan or Somalia or Bosnia they will face love. You know why? Because they are conscientious, kind-hearted, recognized, reasonable people acting fairly. They are very conscientious and affectionate. They act in a wise way, never lose control. They are conservative. EVERYONE AGREES THAT IF TURKEY BECOMES THE ELDER BROTHER OF THE REGION, SHE WILL HAVE THE BEST ADMINISTRATION. Actually people need to say this aloud in a brave manner.
Kibris Postasi, September 23rd, 2009
Adnan Oktar: THERE IS FERVOR HERE; THERE IS BENEVOLENCE. THERE IS A FEELING OF PROTECTION. A FEELING OF JUSTICE! THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE'S FEELINGS OF JUSTICE ARE VERY WELL KNOWN. People across the world fully trust the Turkish Army. Everyone loves the Turkish Army. When the Turkish Army went to Bosnia, they were met in joy. They are also going other places, for example THEY GO TO AFGHANISTAN AND THEY ARE MET IN AFFECTION. THAT SITUATION IS SOURCED BY THE FEELINGS OF LOVE FOR TURKISH PEOPLE BECAUSE TURKISH PEOPLE GENERALLY HAVE HIGH FEELINGS OF COMPASSION, JUSTICE AND LOVE. THIS IS NOT OFTEN SEEN IN OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE WORLD.
Turkmeneli TV, April 22nd, 2008
Adnan Oktar: That's because they do not know the Turkish Army. The Turkish Army is kind-hearted, full of love. The Turkish Army wants everyone to be good and the Turkish Army thinks not only of Turkish people's living in comfort but also everyone else needs to feel comfortable. This army has gone to many places, many countries; she has visited Bosnia for example. She presents comfort, peace and welfare everywhere.
Usak ART TV, August 19th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Our Prophet (saas) mentioned Turkey in the hadiths (sayings) while describing the End Times. He mentioned Istanbul and Turkey. There are the hadiths, which reads that the Turkish nation will become a leader. In the way of the Mahdi, the Turkish nation is often mentioned. The Turkish nation is full of noble and kind-hearted people. They have always been the standard- bearer of Islam. They are brave heroes and they keep their promise. You will see these manners in the Turkish army. Go anywhere abroad, people feel love and affection towards the Turkish Army. They want Turkish soldiers to come to their countries. For example, in Somalia or Afghanistan, the people embrace the Turkish Army. You know why? Because they are brave, honest and merciful.
29 January 2013, Zaman
For quite some time, the soldiers of the Turkish Army have started to help people in need by carrying them from one place to another by military helicopter in the Southeast part of Turkey, which is snowy all the time. In those parts, the transportation infrastructure is weak because of persistent snow. So our soldiers have started to carry snowbound people or patients who need to reach hospitals by helicopter. Recently there was a patient whom the soldiers safely carried to the hospital. Now we have the news of two snowbound teachers who have been carried by military helicopter to get back to their hometown.

According to Ministry of Interior spokeswoman Sabine Hadad, 701 families filed for naturalization under the 2010 criteria.
A Buddhist family sued Sabine Parish School Board for violating their right to religious freedom.
All the men except those who were holding Sabine hurried out after him.
After a time Sabine began to feel that this isolation was a needless humiliation.
It was reared from one of three caterpillars casually picked up at Erith, and is now in Mr. Sabine's collection.
"Do not be desperate," urged Sabine, laying her hand upon his arm.
The majority of them were peasants, cultivating a little plat in Latium or in the Sabine country.
As soon as he caught sight of Sabine he made a profound inclination.
"How strange to be away from your home for so long," Sabine remarked innocently.
Sabine's strength and firmness had now entirely deserted her.

|Medicare has expanded its preventive services to include one (1) initial evaluation and up to eight counseling sessions in a 12-month period to help you quit smoking. You can receive counseling at the doctor's office (including physicians, psychologists, and clinical social workers), or a clinic or outpatient department of a hospital. Counseling must be approved by Medicare. 100 per cent of the Medicare-approved amount will be paid under Part B with no deductible. Medicare also covers smoking cessation counseling for those people with Medicare who have been diagnosed with a disease or condition caused by smoking. In this case, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the approved amount for smoking cessation counseling after the deductible is met ($140 in 2012). At hospital outpatient departments, you will pay a copay that is no greater than the Part A deductible ($1,156 in 2012). Over-the-counter treatments for smoking cessation, such as nicotine patches or gum, are not covered. This is because over-the-counter medications are excluded from Medicare Part D coverage by law. However, prescription drugs for smoking cessation are covered under the Medicare prescription drug benefit (Part D). There is no coverage for hypnosis. If you are in a Medicare Advantage plan (private health plan), contact your plan to see what rules and costs apply. Starting in 2012, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans will cover all preventive services the same as Original Medicare. This means MA plans will not be allowed to charge cost-sharing fees (coinsurances, copays or deductibles) for preventive services that Original Medicare does not charge for as long as you see in-network providers. Taking advantage of Medicare's preventive services is a great New Year's Resolution. For additional information and a complete list of preventive services offered by Medicare, please contact Legacy Link GeorgiaCares.

The new documentary, A Place at the Table, shows that 50 million Americans — including one in four children — don't know where their next meal is coming from.
In 1968, CBS aired a documentary, Hunger in America, that remains one of the clearest examples of television's power to effect change in society. The collective shock and outrage voiced by Americans following the broadcast galvanized the federal government to enact legislation, led by Sens. Bob Dole and George McGovern, to eliminate malnutrition. And by the end of the 1970s, the data showed that the food safety net programs seemed to have worked, all but eradicating the issue of hunger in America.
Flash forward three decades, and a worthy successor to Hunger in America is about to show that this basic right once again needs to be addressed. In fact, one of the first pieces of information that the new documentary, A Place at the Table, provides is that 50 million Americans — including one in four children — don't know where their next meal is coming from.
The directors, Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush, came to their subject through first-person experience. Silverbush and her husband were mentoring a young girl in New York City who was struggling in school with both academic and behavioral issues. One day, Silverbush received a call from the school telling her that the girl had been discovered foraging in the school's trash cans for food.
Jacobson says that she and Silverbush knew immediately that this was a story that had to be told, but, she says, "We had to do it in a way that hadn't been done before. People were going to events that raised money for hunger, but no one was asking the question, 'Why?' We had to look at the 'Why.' "
To do that, the pair drew on Silverbush's background in narrative film and Jacobson's years of working with legendary documentarian, Barbara Kopple, who taught her that "you can go in having some kind of idea, but to let the story guide you.
"The way to reach people through film is with personal stories that move you," Jacobson continues. "But without context, it wouldn't be enough."
Accordingly, A Place at the Table has no shortage of talking heads like Hunter College sociologist Janet Poppendieck, author/activist Raj Patel (Stuffed and Starved) and the leading authority on food politics, Marion Nestle. Real star power is provided by Top Chef's Tom Colicchio (who held fundraisers for the film at his New York restaurants) and Academy Award-winning actor, Jeff Bridges, a longtime activist for ending childhood hunger.
What gives the film its immediacy and impact, though, is its unwavering focus on telling the stories of three families who deal with hunger on a daily basis: Rosie, a Colorado fifth-grader who is so frequently hungry that she can't focus in school and who speaks matter of factly about the days when her family has nothing to eat; Tremonica, a second-grader in Mississippi who must deal with asthma and other health issues while subsisting on hyper-caloric, nutritionally deficient food — the only way her mother can afford to feed her; and Barbie, a single mother in North Philadelphia who starves herself as she tries to break the cycle of poverty and hunger for her two small children.
Jacobson says that once she and Silverbush decided to try to make the documentary, their first stop was Philadelphia. They had read an article about Drexel University professor Mariana Chilton and her work on Witnesses to Hunger, a project to empower the mothers and caregivers of young children who have experienced hunger and poverty. "We met Barbie through Dr. Chilton," Jacobson says. "In fact, a lot of our understanding about the lifelong impact of hunger on kids came from attending Witnesses to Hunger meetings."
Jacobson says that her desire to bring about a reimagining of the food safety net stems in no small part from her Judaism. "It fuels who I am as a person and a filmmaker — the issue of hunger is addressed so specifically in the Bible, for example. I keep getting pulled in this direction — there are a lot of invisible people in this country, and if I can do something to make them visible, I will."
A Place at the Table opens March 1 at Ritz at the Bourse, 215-925-7900.

The statue of Thomas Starr King represented California in the National Statuary Hall Collection from 1931-2009. In 2009, the statue was replaced by one of Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Bronze Given by California in 1931 Replaced in 2009 by statue of Ronald Wilson Reagan
Thomas Starr King, "the orator who saved the nation," was born December 17, 1824, in New York City. The sole support of his family at age 15, he was forced to leave school. Inspired by men like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Ward Beecher, King embarked on a program of self-study for the ministry. At the age of 20 he took over his father's former pulpit at the First Unitarian Church of Charlestown, Massachusetts. In 1848, he was appointed pastor of the Hollis Street Unitarian Church, Boston, where he became one of the most famous preachers in New England. He vacationed in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and in 1859 wrote a book about the area entitled The White Hills: Their Legends, Landscapes and Poetry.
In 1860, King accepted a call from the First Unitarian Church of San Francisco. In California during the Civil War, he spoke zealously in favor of the Union and is credited with saving California from becoming a separate republic. In addition, he organized the Pacific Branch of the Sanitary Commission, which cared for wounded soldiers. A fiery orator, he raised over $1.5 million for the Sanitary Commission headquarters in New York, one-fifth of the total contributions from all the states in the Union.
The relentless lecture circuit exhausted him, and he died in San Francisco on March 4, 1864, of diphtheria. Mountain peaks in New Hampshire and in Yosemite Park are named in his honor.

Lavazza Modo Mio Extra
£125, lavazzamodomio.co.uk
Before your daily hit of coffee wakes you up, ease into consciousness with an eye-opening sunny yellow Lavazza Modo Mio Extra coffee machine. The simplicity of the capsule delivery means even an early morning daze won't stop you making an espresso, cappuccino or latte. And if yellow's not your thing it comes in eight other colours too.
JCB Toughphone Pro-Smart
£335, jcbphone.co.uk
The company known for its yellow kit is delivering its other famous trait, with this phone, strength. The Toughphone Pro-Smart is JCB's first Android Toughphone built to military certifications for resisting water, dust, impacts and even pressure of up to a ton. It might only be Android 2.3 Froyo, but with a 5MP snapper, microSD for up to 32GB memory, and Wi-Fi – it's the toughest, if not smartest, smartphone we've seen in yellow.
Samsung Series 7 Gamer
£1,300, samsung.co.uk
Yes the Samsung Series 7 Gamer is yellow, marigold yellow to be exact. But more importantly this powerhouse (spotted at CES in this colour but not out until later this month), comes with a Core i7 processor, a 2GB AMD Radeon HD6970M graphics card, and a 300 nits 1080p HD display. And if you're a less attention seeking gamer, it also comes in red.
Ferrari 458 Italia
£190,000 (used), pistonheads.co.uk
Some people say it's not a Ferrari if it's not red. We say the 562BHP, V8-engined 458 Italia shouldn't be judged on the colour of its shell. It should be measured by how fast it can propel you from 0-60mph, which is in 3.4 seconds. Well, it can if you can afford the price, or don't mind selling your house.
Vibration X sticker speakers
£12, print-gifts.com
Want to turn your mug into a speaker? For £12, why not? This yellow Vibration X sticker speaker can be stuck on any surface and the vibrations will turn it into your own speaker. Although with a £12 price tag we can't recommend this for sound quality. Novelty value is guaranteed to be high though.

SHOCK VIDEO: Disturbing video shows Korean woman being harassed at night club
UPDATE: The men in the video claim the entire thing was fake. According the The Blaze, the men claim the footage was for a horror movie.
(Liz Klimas) A disturbing video showing a South Korean woman on a sofa in a night club being increasingly harassed by two Western men is causing a stir this week. The video has spurred a heated discussion about Western expats in the country — while others are even criticizing the victim herself.
The video begins with what appears to be the woman minding her own business while the men start recording her close up and making sexual comments about her body as if she were non-existent.
"Look at her f**king legs," one of them says as the camera then pans up to her chest, while the other man brushes aside her hair to reveal a low-cut top.
The woman appears inebriated as the men touch her face, one even putting his finger up her nose and then into her mouth as she mildly protests.
The men then criticize the state of the woman's teeth and say, "why the f**k don't you get plastic surgery like every other f**king Korean little b**ch." The woman at this point is more alert and combative against the men who are physically and verbally assaulting her.
Watch the video that has been reposted to YouTube for now (Content warning: strong language and disturbing images):
