2012 Photo Contest Winners

The winning images from "National Wildlife" magazine's 42nd annual photography competition

11-07-2012 // Laura Tangley

THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE PHOTO CONTEST is now in its fourth decade, but entries to the competition continue to surprise the magazine’s editors. Chosen from more than 28,000 images in seven categories, this year’s winners include photos of some truly unexpected animal behaviors: Thousands of salmon encircle a grizzly just beyond the bear’s reach, a seal “plays” with a penguin before eating the prey and a hummingbird attacks an “intruder” that’s actually its own reflection. Other images depict better-known behaviors that are presented in ways we’ve not seen before: A pair of hawks, talon-to-talon, battle in midair and migratory salmon approach a photographer head-on at sunset.

View a slide show of all the winning images.

Harris hawks
David Cardinal

Portola Valley, California

Grand Prize

When Cardinal spotted a female Harris’s hawk guarding road kill in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, he expected action. These raptors form hunting groups to protect food from other predators, including nongroup members of their own kind. Cardinal prefocused on a branch “where an interloper was likely to land.” Soon another female Harris’s hawk showed up, and the first bird attacked. He says his winning image “captures the moment when the newly arrived hawk turns to meet the defending female’s fully deployed talons.”

Gentoo penguib and leopard seal
Amos Nachoum

San Francisco, California

First Place, Mammals

Creating this striking image of a leopard seal “playing” with its prey—a recently drowned Gentoo penguin—required nearly as much patience from the photographer as from the predator itself. To capture young penguins wading into shallow water off Antarctica’s Pleneau Island, seals make their way toward shore and sit perfectly still for one to two hours “looking like a typical rock in Antarctica,” says Nachoum, who spent “a lot of time waiting to see this happen.” After ambushing its victim, the seal crawls on its belly back to deeper water, where it catches and releases the penguin again and again before finally devouring the bird.

Salmon and brown bear
Jamie Scarrow

Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada

Second Place, Mammals

Surrounded by salmon, this young grizzly still was having trouble getting enough to eat. The bear sat down in a pool in British Columbia’s Knight Inlet, where “the water was just too deep and the fish too aware of its presence,” says Scarrow, who  captured the scene from a viewing platform directly above. “It’s rare to have nature arrange itself in such an organized manner,” he says, adding that the bear later moved to shallow water where it had better luck.

Baby Cheetah
Lisa Hoffner

Los Gatos, California

First Place, Baby Animals

While on safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, Hoffner’s vehicle hit a large rock and got stuck. Lucky for her, four cheetah cubs happened to be playing on a log nearby. After three grew tired and lay down to rest, this cub “climbed to the top to get to eye level with its mom,” she says. “They proceeded to gently groom one another before retiring to sleep in the shade.”

Baby Handhill crane
Scott Helfrich

DeLand, Florida

Second Place, Baby Animals

Each day last April, Helfrich stopped by a retention pond near his home to check on—and photograph—a nest of sandhill cranes. “They’re magnificent birds and my favorite species to photograph,” he says. Nestled under a parent’s wing for warmth, the two chicks routinely emerged to observe Helfrich. “The little birds are really curious,” he says. “Sometimes they’d get so close I couldn’t photograph them.”

Jack Nevitt

Woodbridge, Virginia

First Place, Birds

On his “annual pilgrimage” to South Florida, Nevitt took this photo of a double-crested cormorant eight years ago in Everglades National Park with the very first digital camera he ever owned. He cropped the original image to focus in on the bird’s feathers and colorful eye. “I love the Everglades in springtime for all the waterfowl and other wildlife you can spot,” Nevitt says.

Taiwan barbet

Hal and Kirsten Snyder

Shanghai, China

Second Place, Birds

Visiting Taipei, Hal and Kirsten Snyder spent several hours observing this endemic Taiwan barbet dig out its nest hole in a tree. “Fascinated, we watched as the colorful bird removed large mouthfuls of woodchips and scattered the rubbish in the wind,” recalls Kirsten. Based in China for a few years, the Snyders travel frequently to take photos of wildlife. The barbet, which locals call “the five-colored bird,” “is one of the most beautiful birds we’ve seen in Asia,” Kirsten says.

Sockeye salmons
David Hall

Woodstock, New York

First Place, Other Wildlife

Hall waded into British Columbia’s Adams River to photograph migrating sockeye salmon during October 2010, the largest run of these fish in a century. Battling a swift current that was wreaking havoc with his equipment, he sought refuge beside a large tree trunk. “I pointed my camera downstream,” Hall says, “and on the back of the camera [its LCD screen] saw a virtual wall of sockeye facing me just inches away.” Meanwhile, the setting sun turned the sky purple and pink, while his flash lit the water beneath the surface. “I began to photograph and did not stop until the light had all but disappeared,” Hall says.

Jumping Spider
Colin Hutton

Durham, North Carolina

Second Place, Other Wildlife

After searching for this jumping spider, Phidippus mystaceus, for two months, Hutton located some juveniles on pine saplings in North Carolina’s Duke Forest at Duke University. A few weeks later, he took several thousand photos of the newly mature adults. This image—a combination of six photos shot rapidly (each at a slightly different focus) and merged using computer software—is his favorite. “I think the animal looks dignified and a bit comical at the same time,” Hutton says.

Jelly fish
Bill Lamp'l

Miami, Florida

First Place, Connecting People and Nature

Long isolated from other jellyfish species in a remote marine lake in the Republic of Palau, these golden jellyfish do not sting strongly enough to harm humans, making close encounters possible. When a fellow snorkeler came face-to-face with one of the animals, Lamp’l “tried to capture the moment of wonder and excitement” that she was experiencing.

Alandra Palisser

Delta, British Columbia, Canada

First Place, Backyard Habitats

Concealed inside her house behind a hanging basket in the window, Palisser photographed a rufous hummingbird “fascinated by its own reflection in a mirror ball, which it thought was an intruder in its territory.” Palisser’s yard is a haven for hummingbirds and other wildlife, filled with native plants such as bee balm, multiple nectar feeders and several water features, including a small lily pond containing a fountain. “Watching the birds gives us much pleasure,” she says.

Francisco Mingorance

Almuñécar, Granada, Spain

First Place, Landscapes and Plants

Located near the village of Castañeras, the Beach of Silence is “probably the most beautiful beach in western Asturias, Spain,” says Mingorance. To capture this “star” of sea foam on the shore, he photographed the scene during low tide at night using a long exposure. Lights from the village and a lighthouse shine in the background. “After getting this image, I have visited the beach many times,” says Mingorance, “but I’ve never seen this star with the same perfection.”

Violet sabrewing
Amelia Andrews

Lexington, Massachusetts

First Place, Youth

On a high school research trip to Guadalupe, Panama, Andrews spotted several striking hummingbird species competing for spots at a feeder. This one, a violet sabrewing, was the “most aggressive species,” she reports. New to the Tropics—and to the camera equipment she brought along—Andrews by the end of the journey “was completely in love with wildlife photography, even though I had never attempted it before.”

Striped Hyena

Ajay Parmar

Vadodara, Gujarat, India

People's Choice

Congratulations to our 2012 People’s Choice Award winner: Ajay Parmar, whose image of a striped hyena received more public votes than any other photo in an annual competition in which anyone who visits the contest website can vote. In his effort to photograph hyenas, Parmar spent three consecutive Sundays waking at 3:30 a.m. and driving three and a half hours to Velavadar National Park in Gujarat, India—without even spotting one of the animals. On the fourth Sunday, he was in luck when a hyena emerged from the grass and came strolling straight toward him. Because hyenas are nocturnal, getting an image of one in broad daylight is unusual. “This was one of my best days in wildlife photography,” Parmar says.

TOKYO — Workers at an auto parts factory in Tianjin, China, run by a Chinese subsidiary of Toyoda Gosei, which is 42 percent owned by Toyota Motor, went on strike Thursday and have not returned to their jobs, a Toyoda Gosei spokesman said Friday.

The factory, one of two run by Tianjin Toyoda Gosei, produces plastic parts for a FAW assembly plant operated by Toyota in Tianjin. It has been closed since Thursday morning, when some of the company’s 1,700 workers staged a walkout, the spokesman, Shingo Handa, said. Tianjin Toyoda Gosei’s other factory in the city, as well as its six other plants across China, are operating normally, Mr. Handa said.

Talks are under way between the company and the striking workers in Tianjin, who are demanding higher pay, Mr. Handa said. It is unclear when production will resume, he said.

“Our priority is to reach a swift resolution and minimize the effect on auto production,” Mr. Handa said. “Talks are continuing.”

The latest strike is similar to work stoppages that have forced Honda Motor to suspend some of its operations in China over the past month. It is another blow to Toyota after months in which it has had to acknowledge manufacturing a raft of defective vehicles and has paid $16.4 million in fines in the United States alone.

The strike follows a one-day walkout over pay at another Toyoda Gosei auto parts factory and Toyota supplier, Tianjin Star Light Rubber & Plastic. Employees there agreed to go back to work Thursday after the company said it would review wages for the plant’s 800 workers, Mr. Handa said.

A Tokyo-based spokeswoman for Toyota, Mieko Iwasaki, said that the automaker's assembly plant with FAW in Tianjin had closed Friday afternoon but hoped to reopen on Monday. Toyota operates 10 factories in China, and many more are run by Toyota subsidiaries.

Janelle Monae: The Archandroid

1 comment
Rating: 4/5

Verdict: Who feels like dancing?

When nifty-footed, quick-witted Janelle Monae burst on to music blogs with her high speed retro video for 2007 hit Many Moons, she quickly became the hottest new thing on the scene.

It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to jump on board, and he produced this album. Theatrical head-dress is just the first sign that Monae's music is meant to be an experience. The album's eerie orchestral opener, wrapped with applause and then bursting into the bassy-funk of Dance or Die harks back to the 24-year-old's original plans to be a Broadway performer. And she thrusts the album between velvet-curtained stage production, big-booties in the nightclub, glittery-dressed soul singers, shiny-shoed funk musicians and even hair-shaking rock'n'roll - some she pulls off better than others.

Tingling your hairs, then tickling your feet, Monae's energetic combination of musical genres urges you to clap your hands, slap your knees. And then, do it double time.

In the sped-up funk and soul of Faster, Monae is "shaking like a skitzo".

Then in Cold War (one of the singles) she is a finger-wiggling pop-star, while in Come Alive (The War of The Roses) she is a screeching, dirty rocker - and a schizo again.

There are 18 tracks, but some are one-minute theatrical teasers that bridge the different genres and allow the album to roll together like one long party playlist.

Bathurst seeks capital as resource consents loom

Photo / File
Photo / File

Bathurst Resources is seeking to raise as much as $20 million in one-off book building exercise that offers long-suffering shareholders a chance to gamble on a rising share price after the imminent granting of resource consents for its Escarpment mine on the Denniston Plateau.

The Wellington-headquartered company's share register is dominated by Australian shareholders, many of whom have been frustrated by the length of appeals processes against the Escarpment development.

Bathurst shares last traded at 20 cents apiece, having listed on the NZX in November 2010 at 74 cents and rising in May 2011 as high as $1.70.

Resource consents were initially granted for the mine in August 2011, but appeals led by the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society of New Zealand have kept the project in the courts ever since.

However, a High Court ruling last month indicated consents would likely be granted within weeks, albeit one Supreme Court appeal is outstanding and another bid to take a side issue to the Supreme Court has yet to be ruled upon.

Bathurst shares were placed in a trading halt on the NZX and ASX this morning "pending the conduct of a bookbuild process for a proposed capital raising". The bookbuild is occurring today, with the shares to be requited tomorrow after results of the exercise are known.

"We are continually being commented on as understanding," chief executive Hamish Bohannan told BusinessDesk. The capital raising now was an opportunity to deal with that perception.

The bookbuild cannot raise more than 15 per cent of the market capitalisation of the company, which documents issued to the NZX put at $139.8 million, making the upper limit for the capital-raising at $20.97 million.

The company has net cash on hand of $8 million and says it will need $13.3 million in year one of a plan to bring the export-focused coking coal operation at Escarpment into production, along with $6.6 million on domestic operations, which sell thermal coal to local consumers.

That would take Bathurst to 640,000 tonnes of coal production annually, while it would need to spend a further $70.5 million on its Buller coking coal plans in the second and third years, to take the company to one million tonnes of coal production annually.

Among investments required on the Denniston plateau, which environmentalists argue is a unique eco-system deserving preservation while Bathurst supporters point to mining in the area for more than a century, is improved roading and construction of an aerial conveyor to take coal off the plateau for export either through New Plymouth via Westport or from Lyttelton.

Palmerston North based Death Metal band DEPTHS have gained notoriety on the New Zealand metal scene with their relentless touring and punishing live sets. Formed in 2010 the band wasted no time recording an EP and following up soon-after with a mimi-album ‘Resurgence’. Friday 26 September 2012 marks the release of their debut full-length ‘Revelation’ via New Zealand label Deadboy Records. Having just returned from an Australian tour with DEPTHS, frontman Josh Bain checks in with NZRock to discuss the ‘Revelation’ music videos, and where to from here…

NZRock: The production of ‘Revelation’ is even better than ‘Resurgence’, and that EP was epic anyway. Are you stoked with how ‘Revelation’ turned out?

Josh: We are absolutely amped on the new album. We really tried to push ourselves in the song writing process, experimenting with different tempos, more interesting riffs and we put a lot of time and effort into the writing and recording process. We feel this is the best thing we have ever accomplished musically and we hope everyone that hears it feels the same way.

NZRock: Ryan Harvey from Catharsis Studios in Oklahoma mixed/mastered the ‘Illumination’ single. How did you get onto using him?

Josh: We were looking into places to record the single and our friend Doni Tai from Auckland band ADVOCATES offered to record the song. He then put us onto Ryan to mix/master the track.

NZRock: Did Mark Coates do the rest of the mixing/mastering on the album, and was it a no-brainer working with him again after doing ‘Resurgence’?

Josh: After working with Mark on the EP it was the obvious choice for quality. He knows our sound and what we want. We are all wrapped with the final result.

NZRock: What tracks are you the most proud of on ‘Revelation’ and what were the trickiest to record from a technical perspective?

Josh: Our favourite tracks on the album would be ‘The Last’, ‘Illumination’, and ‘Concubine of the Beast’. The trickiest to record would probably be ‘Ire Upon the Earth’, ‘Of Soil and Brine’, and ‘Illumination’.

NZRock: You’ve got the full package as far as songwriting, production and artwork goes on ‘Revelation’. So where to from here?

Josh: Touring our butts off with the new album, writing a new full length, and more travelling overseas.

NZRock: The ‘Of Nothing’ music video you released last year has had over 25,000 views! Have you got plans to do another music video soon?

Josh: We are planning to do a live video for the first single off the album ‘Concubine of the Beast’, and we are sketching out some concepts for ‘Illumination’ video.

NZRock: Where abouts was the old abandoned house/building you recorded parts of ‘Of Nothing’ in?

The director of the video Neihana Tonkin had an abandoned house on some family land near Palmerston North. They were kind enough to let us film out there.

NZRock: Things have moved fast for you guys, you released your first EP in 2010, ‘Resurgence’ in 2011, and here you are with a full length in 2012. Does it feel like you’ve come a long way in a short amount of time?

Josh: Although it has been a short amount of time we have worked our asses off playing shows up and down the country and writing continuously. We have an idea and vision for what we want as a band, and we are so stoked that so many people have helped and supported us to get were we are.

NZRock: You guys were looking at Sumerian Records a while back. How did the band get signed to Deadboy Records?

NZRock: We were approached by Vasely from Deadboy after we played a show in Auckland late 2011, the rest is history.

NZRock: Your drummer Dylan left the band at the start of this year, how’d you find his replacement Shaun?

Josh: We have known Shaun for years through other bands, one of which includes a previous Deadboy Records artist THE DAUNTLESS. He is an amazing drummer and an awesome dude so we were stoked when he decided to join the team.

NZRock: Apart from playing on the swings, what inspires the lyrics and music that you write? I hear influences from bands like MESHUGGAH, THE ACACIA STRAIN in there…

Josh: Musically bands like MESHUGGAH and THE ACACIA STRAIN are a huge influence to our sound, but the list is endless. There are a lot more apparent influences on the new album. Lyrically the new album is a concept based on the final book of the bible ‘Revelation’. Although it’s a book from the bible we are not a Christian band, we just felt it fitted with the mood of the songs.

NZRock: How did you all end up in the same band together? Were all of you guys into the same styles of music when you started out?

Josh: We have known each other for years through different musical projects. A few of us were playing in hardcore bands and wanted to get back into playing heavier music.

NZRock: You’ve supported a ton of overseas bands like CRUEL HAND, WE CAME AS ROMANS, PSYCROPTIC, DREAM ON DREAMER, A PLEA FOR PURGING, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, NORTHLANE… what were the stand-out gigs out of all those?

Josh: The band are big fans of A PLEA FOR PURGING so it was a huge privilege to support them. We are also really looking forward to supporting BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and ANIMALS AS LEADERS in November.

NZRock: You’re in Australia for a few shows and it sounds like the band is in high demand! Do you have any plans to travel further afield anytime soon?

Josh: We are definitely planning to get back over to Australia a few times next year. We would love to get over to the US and Europe within the next few years.

Kids rock at Oak Park's School of Rock

Share on Facebook
Share on Twitter

By Deb Quantock McCarey

Contributing reporter/Nature blogger

Rock-and-roller Frank Zappa once said, "Most rock journalism is for people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read."

Well, let's blow the roof off that notion by focusing on a story about a business that is booming in the brick building at 219 Lake St. in Oak Park, formerly Tuscher Roofing, aka the Oak Park School of Rock (SOR).

 The music school is a franchise in the international School of Rock network, which now has outlets in 31 states — as well as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Panama and the Philippines.

This "bad" gathering space for musical kids, age 8 to 18 (plus adults) started several years ago when Amy Renzulli, with her spouse Bob Miller, succumbed to the pleas of their elementary-school-age daughter, Abigail, now 15.

She was playing ice hockey but wanted to start playing something else.

"I don't like telling this story, but my Mom does, so … When I was in fifth grade I started crying and crying, and said, 'I don't think you understand. I really, really want to play bass guitar,'" Abigail recalls.

That rant went on until Renzulli caved and eventually Googled rock-and-roll summer camps, fortuitously finding the Chicago School of Rock, which had multiple programs for musicians of all levels and ages.

"I went to Chicago School of Rock for two show seasons," says the OPRF High School freshman. "Then my mom started talking to Jennifer, the vocal teacher there. After that we started getting things going."

Since opening last May, Renzulli's second career quickly staged its first show.

Enrollment reached 100 students, their first-year enrollment goal, in the first four months, Abigail crows. Currently, 145 budding to bedazzling rockers are being nurtured there.

"This is totally a family business, and we all joke and call my dad our roadie because he drives the van for the gear, is the janitor and the landlord because my dad owns the building, and my mom owns and runs the business," the teenager explains.

In her SOR franchise, Renzulli says, whether students take guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards or drum lessons, all of the performance kids transition from the lesson room to the stage quickly.

Historically, that is the SOR way. Their "world" stages, though, are local — FitzGerald's or Wire in Berwyn or the Cobra Lounge in Chicago.

"For the first two shows [The British Invasion and Pink Floyd's The Wall] the older students just blew us away, and packed the venues with 250 people each day," she recalls. "Then came Green Day, and my expectations were so much lower. No offense, but most of the kids in that show were the youngest, 8 to 14, and had only been playing instruments since we opened our doors in May. They knocked it out of the park."

Ian Wilson, her director of outreach and education, explains that the idea of SOR is that all students are encouraged to perform, regardless of their future interests or current skill level.

 "I would have gone crazy if I had this kind of musical opportunity as a kid, or at least that is my take on it," says the freelance singer/songwriter and keyboard player whose job it is to help Renzulli engage in community building.

Last month they staged a fundraiser, in conjunction with the Oak Park Regional Housing Center, in support of that organization and to help replenish the School of Rock's scholarship coffers, Renzulli says.

If attending is a stretch for some families, SOR offers opportunities for financial assistance. Currently about 10 percent of her enrollment receives a full scholarship.

Moreover, in May they plan to join in helping with the established Park District of Oak Park program, the Battle of the Bands.

"The plan is for a three-way partnership between us, the park district and the Oak Park Public Library, which is great because they bring so much knowledge as to what youth are looking for in this area, and we bring the music expertise, so it helps," Wilson says.

Right now they are in a win-win partnership with the OPRF High School Art Department, where the students will design and draw promotion posters for the next set of student shows: The Doors, '80s Prom Music, and the Beatles.

Down the road, Renzulli hopes to build a bridge between her SOR and the business community on the east side of Oak Park to create more business and program interconnectivity.

"Eventually we want to be working with the middle schools and OPRF to figure out how rock music can fit into their curriculums," Wilson says. "This is very unique to us because it is what Amy wants, and it is a passion of mine."

Windmilling and wailing

Less than a year ago, when 8-year-old Daniel Golden carried his 3/4 scale Fender bass electric guitar across the threshold of Renzulli's place, the youngster knew he loved Buddy Holly and the Crickets, but he could only play open notes, no fretting.

Now, thanks to his SOR guitar teacher — professional bass player Adam Instefjord — the second grader at Mann School has learned lots of licks in several rock-and-roll styles.

Earlier this year, Golden proudly reports, he was a lead guitarist for the Green Day recital and performed several showy solos on his bass, including windmills (like Pete Townsend of The Who) whenever he could. At one point in the show, he took the strap off his guitar, laid his instrument on the stage, and played it while kneeling.

"My teacher is Adam, and if I hadn't come here, I would have just been like da … da … da on my guitar. Now, because of him (he says smiling, pointing to mentor), I can go rang … rang … rang."

 When he strummed a Green Day hit, "Wake Me When September Comes," Renzulli recalls, Daniel's parents cried. And so did Renzulli.

Just a singer in a rock 'n' roll band

With her wardrobe of mostly black clothing, and possessing only two colorful vintage dresses picked up in a resale shop, Abigail Renzulli's Mohawk has been every color of the rainbow. It is now growing out a bit and has faded to a shade she calls "grey green," which she likes.

"Playing the bass is a really nice outlet, helping me figure things out [because] not everything is easy to figure out for someone my age," she observes, noting that her current favorite band is Red Hot Chili Peppers. "Playing the bass gives me something to focus on, like whenever I sit down and learn a really cool song, or nail some harmony part when I am singing, I think like, wow, I am really doing something."

Oak Parker Ryan Canfield, 23, SOR's assistant general manager, muses that some parents "get geeked" when they realize their kids are starting to listen to their music. Conversely, some parents are sometimes put off by a song's irreverent lyrics, or how they impersonate a band's public behavior.

 For example, during the Green Day performance, all the guys did the "guy eyeliner thing," Canfield says.

"You could kind of see their concern, hoping that it wouldn't become an everyday thing and that on Monday when their kids went to school their sons were not going to be wearing eyeliner," he said, laughing.

But rock-and-roll is as rock-and-roll does, and "in the Green Day Show's finale, "Holiday," I had a drum solo that made my fingers bleed — like a lot [related to blisters on his fingers from learning to play the bass and drums]. It was so much fun," says William Miller, Renzulli's 13-year-old son, a seventh-grader at Percy Julian Middle School.

The other day, he says a band dropped by the school and in it was a guy who used to open for The Doors.

"So one of the older kids came in and sat down at the drum and they all started freestyling. Then my drum instructor, Dave [Vaccano], hopped out of his lesson, just to play the drums with this really cool bass player," William recalled. "That is why I come here and hang out an hour early, because of things like that."

11.3 million tune in to 'Tonight' debut

Jimmy Fallon appears with Stephen Colbert, right, during his "Tonight Show" debut on Monday, which drew 11.3 million viewers. LLOYD BISHOP, NBC

Jimmy Fallon’s start as host of “The Tonight Show” is a ratings winner for NBC.

Nielsen company figures released Tuesday show 11.3 million people tuned in to watch Fallon’s New York debut Monday night.

It was the second-biggest audience for “Tonight” since May 2009, when Jay Leno stepped down for Conan O’Brien’s brief run as host.

Fallon’s “Tonight” debut fell short of the 14.6 million who tuned in Feb. 6 to see Leno sign off, again, after 22 years as host in Burbank.

Enjoying a post-Winter Olympics time slot, Fallon drew 2 million-plus viewers more than O’Brien’s June 2009 “Tonight” opening audience of nearly 9.2 million.

NBC says Fallon’s “Tonight” debut, with guests Will Smith and U2, was up 71 percent over his Feb. 6 “Late Night” farewell’s audience of 6.6 million.

Media wants access to Bieber arrest videos

The Associated Press and other media outlets urged a judge Tuesday to grant access to police videos made shortly after pop singer Justin Bieber’s arrest last month on charges including driving under the influence.

The news organizations said in a motion filed in Miami-Dade County, Fla., court that the 19-year-old has no legal basis to prevent release of the videos, taken at the Miami Beach police station after he was booked Jan. 23. Bieber’s attorneys have asked a judge to allow them to review the videos before their potential release.

Attorney Deanna Shullman, who represents the AP and the other news organizations, said in the filing that Bieber cannot legally compel a state agency to withhold a public record and that his attorneys have not identified any exemption that would apply. In addition, she said the law would permit only certain portions of the videos to be withheld or redacted if they were exempt or deemed confidential.

“Quite simply, the defendant’s private will does not trump Public Records Act mandates,” Shullman said in the motion.

A hearing is scheduled for Thursday on the matter before Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield. The office of State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has denied the AP’s request for the videos pending the outcome of the hearing, Shullman said.

Bieber’s attorneys, including well-known defense lawyer Roy Black, said in their motion that Bieber would suffer “irreparable harm” if the videos are not reviewed by them before their release. One video was previously released by police, showing Bieber being patted down by an officer after his arrest. There are eight other unreleased videos.

Washington wants more stage roles

Now that his children are grown, you can expect to see a lot more of Denzel Washington on Broadway.

The Tony- and Oscar-winning actor, who is set to portray Walter Lee Younger in Lorraine Hansberry’s classic play “A Raisin in the Sun,” is lately finding more time for theater work.

“Up until nine years ago, I hadn’t been here in 15 years, from 1990 until 2005. Basically, that was because of raising my kids, my wife and I,” Washington said Tuesday.

He added: “It’s impossible to commute from California to New York, or New York to California doing an eight-show week schedule. So once they got old enough, I could start coming back.”

Washington last appeared on Broadway in the 2010 revival of August Wilson’s “Fences,” where he picked up a best actor Tony.

Before coming back to Broadway in 2005 to play Brutus in “Julius Caesar,” Washington hadn’t appeared on a Broadway stage since 1988.

“I’ve been back three times in nine years. And I’ll be back again, hopefully,” Washington said.

Suit filed of over Rivera’s death

The husband of Jenni Rivera, the Mexican-American pop star who died with six others in a 2012 plane crash, sued the aircraft’s owners last week alleging wrongful death.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Esteban Loaiza filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court, City News Service reported. He seeks unspecified damages.

Rivera, 43, was aboard a Learjet that nose-dived in northern Mexico on Dec. 9, 2012, about 15 minutes after departing Monterrey.

Rivera was known as the “Diva de la Banda” and died as her career was peaking. She was perhaps the most successful female singer in grupero, a male-dominated Mexico regional style, had sold more than 15 million records, and moved into acting and reality television.

The 43-year-old superstar had filed for divorce from Loaiza two months before the crash, but the lawsuit says he continued to receive financial benefits from her.

The suit names the plane’s owners, Starwood Management LLC and its parent company, Rodatz Financial Group.

Jordan Farmar's May 22 interview

Q. You don't feel any different coming on the court in Phoenix than you do at home?

JORDAN FARMAR: No, I like playing on the road. It's a challenge. It feels like you're a little unit against everybody else in the building. It's a good feeling when you guys stick together and overcome it.

Q. The way the playoffs are spread out, you guys haven't lost in almost a month. Is the confidence now, is it at all similar to middle of December when you guys rattled off like 11 straight; is it a different confidence, or is it similar?

JORDAN FARMAR: I think it's a more focused confidence. We're really close to our goal. We're just trying to stay as focused as possible, not get too high with our successes. When things don't go our way, don't get too low with that. It's important for us to stay even keeled and stay focused.

Q. Do you draw any similarities to back in that Utah series, go in there and you're up 2 0 and still a very good game in the end?

JORDAN FARMAR: I think we did a great job. Oklahoma really prepared us, got us on the right track early. We didn't want it to happen again in Utah.

We came out really, really focused. And our effort was concentrated on what we wanted to do and we got the job done there.

So tomorrow will be the same kind of thing. Go in there with the same energy and do what we have to do and try to put them in a tough spot.

Q. When looking at your effort these past two games in the series, what do you like most about what you guys have done?

JORDAN FARMAR: We've done it the right way. We've let it come to us and work. We've trusted each other. Moved the ball. Made extra passes. Defensively, pretty good. Getting active, getting our hands on balls, things like that. And those are things that make all the difference in the world.

Q. There's been a lot of talk heading into this series about how their bench has been performing at such a high level and as the series has gone on you've been more regularly productive. Do you expect them to step up a little bit more at all?

JORDAN FARMAR: Absolutely. They're going to go home, have a little more leeway, a little more freedom to play a lot better, more comfort, probably. We to have to counter that, combat that as best we can. We have the guys to do it. We just have to go out there and do it.

Juror in child molester case removed for using dictionaries

Sid Landau

SANTA ANA – A juror was removed for misconduct Wednesday for using dictionaries to look up a word during deliberations in a trial to determine whether a twice-convicted child molester should remain locked up in a mental hospital as a sexually violent predator.

The juror referenced the word “likely” in a dictionary at home and brought another dictionary into the deliberating room, disobeying repeated admonishments from Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard King that jurors refrain from independent research.

Her misconduct during the third day of deliberations – in a trial to determine whether Sid Landau, 74, should stay hospitalized as a danger to children – was discovered Wednesday when the jury foreman brought it to the attention of the courtroom bailiff.

An alternate juror was selected and deliberations will resume Thursday.

One of the things county Deputy District Attorney Dan Wagner must prove to keep Landau in a mental hospital as a sexually violent predator is whether it is “likely” he would re-offend if released.

Wagner argued during a four-week trial that Landau is a pedophile. “He is a lifelong child molester,” Wagner said, “and there is no evidence of change.”

Deputy Public Defender Sara Ross insisted Landau is too old and too ill to have the sexual impulses that drove him to molest and therefore is no longer a sexually violent predator.

Ross opposed dismissing the juror, contending the woman did not willfully disobey the judge's admonishments and there was no evidence she could not be fair and impartial.

But King noted he had given his warning at every court recess during 18 days of trial and found the juror committed “serious, willful misconduct” and could not continue as a juror.

Landau was convicted in 1982 of molesting a 10-year-old Anaheim boy and sentenced to three years in prison. He later pleaded guilty in 1988 to molesting a 9-year-old boy and was sentenced to 17 years in prison. He served eight years before he was paroled in 1996. He was returned to prison twice after that on parole violations, but was about to be freed without any strings in 2000 when the District Attorney’s Office filed the first petition that he be held as a sexually violent predator.

You can't go wrong with papayas

View Graphics

Papayas are a nutritional giant among fruits. The brightly hued flesh – salmon, pink, bright orange or canary yellow – forms an eye-popping contrast to the shimmery black seeds that fill the core. The flesh contains an impressive combination of vitamins and phytochemicals, plus high amounts of pectin fiber.

One cup of raw diced papaya contains only 55 calories while providing 144 percent of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C and 31 percent of vitamin A. It also contains high amounts of folates, about 15 percent of your daily needs are in one small papaya.

Look for papayas that give slightly to pressure, something like a not-too-ripe avocado. Ripen papayas at room temperature or place them in a loosely sealed paper bag with an apple, banana or pear at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Refrigerate ripe fruit, unwashed and dry, up to three days.

Just before using, wash with cold water. Cut the fruit in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. The seeds are edible and have a peppery taste; they can be used whole in dressings for fruit-based salads, or use small amounts as a garnish. Use unpeeled halves as bowls for salads, or remove the skin with a paring knife or vegetable peeler and cut the flesh into strips, chunks or dice.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy papaya is in fruit-based salsa. Papaya's flavor profile is low in acidity and benefits greatly from the fresh lime juice and zest that is part of the salsa's ingredient list. Cilantro is also listed in the ingredients, a nutrient-dense herb that not only provides a lemony, peppery flavor, but also is a concentrated powerhouse of antioxidants.

The salsa is delicious used in soft tacos or tostadas, or spooned over brown rice, farro or quinoa. In the following recipe it is used atop roasted halibut, but it would also be delicious over any mild fish or grilled ground turkey patties.

Roasted Halibut

with Lime and Papaya

and Avocado Salsa

Yield: 4 servings

3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon grated lime zest, colored portion of peel

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch of cayenne

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets

Papaya and Avocado Salsa:

1 cup peeled, diced papaya

1 cup peeled, diced avocado

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt

Pinch of ground cayenne

Finishing fish: vegetable oil for pan

1. Prepare fish: Combine lime juice, lime zest, salt, cumin, cayenne, olive oil and cilantro in a small nonreactive bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended. Spread 3 tablespoons of the marinade evenly over both sides of the fillets. Reserve the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare salsa: Place all salsa ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and gently toss. Allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil an ovenproof pan large enough to accommodate all of the fillets in a single layer. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and put them in the prepared pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily. To be certain the fish is cooked through, push a two-pronged kitchen fork straight down into the flesh; the fish is done when it is no longer translucent. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the fillets and top each with a generous dollop of the salsa. Serve immediately.

Terra Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans by Kiva: Our Toke of the Week!

For the Coffee & Marijuana Lover
For the Coffee & Marijuana Lover
Mary Carreon

Product: Terra Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans by Kiva
Dispensary: Super Clinik 2525 S.
Birch Street Santa Ana, CA 92707
Price: $18 / Container

Don't underestimate the power of Kiva's chocolate covered espresso beans. Although the coated nibs only contain 5 mg of THC, they surprisingly pack a punch. If you only eat one, sure— you probably won't feel much of anything. But eating one Kiva bean is like eating a single girl scout cookie and putting the box away (and we all know that never happens!). The hardest part about these dark chocolate covered espresso beans is that they taste like heaven, making it nearly impossible to only eat a few. The bitter-sweet chocolate and coffee taste combined with the crunchy texture makes it easy to down as many as six in a row, which puts you at 30 mg of THC. And although that's not enough to necessarily floor you— it's definitely enough to get in the way of being productive.

A couple Saturdays ago, my cousin invited me to see Grease at a vintage movie theater. Although I've seen the movie nearly 100 times, I figured it would be a great way to take a break from work and doing chores. Plus, earlier in the week I visited Super Clinik and picked up a can of Kiva's Terra Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans and thought there was no better time to try out the low dosage candy than while watching a movie. I imagined that if I ate a few nibs at the beginning of Grease, I'd feel a slight buzz but would be able to get stuff done around my apartment and get ahead on work for Monday after I got back home.

Man was I wrong. As soon as the opening scene of Danny and Sandy running around on the beach appeared on screen, I opened the round Kiva container and indulged in my first dark chocolate coffee bean—it was heaven. By the time the opening animated credits to the song "Grease is the Word" was playing, I realized I had mindlessly munched on six nibs (because they're that good!). Within 30 minutes, I went from sober to stoned and completely skipped feeling buzzed. By the time John Travolta and the T-Birds sang "Grease Lightning" I was already asleep in my chair (and apparently snoring, too).

This should be noted, however: When it comes to any kind of edible, I'm a light-weight. It takes one bite of a 120 mg candy bar for me to feel stoned all day (and sleep like a baby). So if you generally need a heavier dosage for edibles and/or THC in general to work for you, eating six Terra Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans probably won't have the same effect on you as it did for me.

Needless to say, I didn't get any chores or work done after I Ubered home. I immediately climbed into bed and fell back into a deep, dreamy slumber. Despite eating too many Kiva beans, they were delectable none-the-less. But I definitely learned my lesson: Do not underestimate the power of the tiny Terra Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans.

Toy Safety

Kids love toys – they always want more. Often, toys get handed down through generations, but even a few years makes a big difference to toy safety standards. Health Canada sets heavy standards that toy makers must abide by. Below are some tips to help you choose safe toys and to keep children safe:

1. Abide by the age label. Discard broken toys.

2. Show children the right way to play with toys.

3. Remove and discard all toy packaging, plastic bags, foam and staples.

4. Avoid toys with long cords which could easily wrap around a child’s neck.

5. Avoid toys with sharp points and edges.

6. Always follow the assembly instructions.

7. When purchasing toys, always read the warning labels.

8. Always store toys in a toy box but make sure the lid is not too heavy as it could slam down on a child’s fingers or head. It is advisable to remove the lid so there is no risk that the child could get trapped.

9. Batteries should only be installed by adults. Make sure battery comliartment cannot be liried olien by child. New toys usually have screws to avoid this. If toy does not have this safety feature, do not buy. Check batteries for leaking or overheating as they could burn child.

10. There are certain toys that you have to check before buying. Toys that kids mount such as toy cars, bikes, and rocking horses must be chosen to suit the child’s age and capabilities. Check that the toy doesn’t tip, and always keep away from stairs or outdoor dangers such as swimming pools and roads.

11. Balloons pose a choking hazard to young children. Do not keeli uninflated balloons in an easily reachable lilace. Always discard leftover balloons, balloons with minimal air and broken balloon pieces.

12. Do not leave toys for older kids in the hands of a younger child. Children under the age of 3 tend to liut all things in their mouths, so keep small toys, delicate toys and removable toy parts away from them. These are choking hazards. Even kids over 3 have a risk of choking.

Dr. Deiorio is winner of 3rd National Career Development Month contest

January 29, 2013

Dr. DeiorioThe AAMC has selected Nicole Deiorio, M.D., an associate professor in the department of emergency medicine, as a winner in the 3rd National Career Development Month Contest.

Dr. Deiorio co-hosted a group career-planning activity in November, and was chosen by the AAMC Careers in Medicine program as having presented an event that was especially effective and impactful for students. Dr. Dawn Dillman, associate professor in the department of Anesthesiology and Peri-Operative Medicine, was the event's co-leader.

Dr. Deiorio's presentation overview from the AAMC web site:

Brief description of event(s): Half-day workshop for students interested in hospital-based, acute care careers such as emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and critical care medicine. The workshop involved an IV lab; smaller workshops about creating CVs, interviewing, and optional activities related to these specialties; a panel discussion led by faculty and fourth-year students in the featured specialties; and a presentation on the medical school and practice stressors of acute care fields as well as resources for addressing them.

The CiM team especially liked: The unique approach of combining technical skills (IV starts) with providing career decision information about hospital acute care specialties for students with this interest. A particular strength was having panelists discuss the various specialties they considered as students and how they ultimately arrived at their decision.

Dr. Deiorio is engaged in teaching students at many levels, from Principles of Clinical Medicine to the third and fourth year EM clerkships. As Director for
Career Advising in the School of Medicine, she works with Dr. Dillman and the rest of the Student Affairs team to assist students in understanding their career goals, finding mentors and applying to residencies.

  • Label: Sbme Special Mkts.

Entertainment Reviews:

Down Beat - 9/01, p.59
4 stars out of 5 - "...The music is engaging....The intrigue from the redefined hard-bop here has everything to do with Davis' elliptical phrasings and seeming impatience with the latter-day offspring of bebop..."

  • 2.Oleo
  • 3.My Funny Valentine
  • 4.Straight, No Chaser

Product Description:

Personnel: Miles Davis (trumpet); Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Bill Evans (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Jimmy Cobb (drums).
Recorded live at the Plaza Hotel, New York, New York on September 9, 1958. Includes liner notes by Irving Townsend and Bob Blumenthal.
Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
Back in 1958, Jazz at the Plaza was never meant to be a record; it was a Columbia party at the Plaza, a place jazz had never been played before. Also on the bill were Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Rushing. Despite the fine remastering job done by the Sony crew, Jazz at the Plaza remains more a curiosity piece than an essential recording by a remarkable band, strictly because of its dodgy recording quality. The 40-minute set is plagued by the problem of barely being able to hear Davis in places, particularly on the stellar opener, "If I Were a Bell," and Evans is all but absent on much of the record. In fact, there is no mix; it's just a flat-out two- or three-mike set. That said, the performance is far from dodgy. There are four tunes in the set: the previously mentioned old stripe from Guys and Dolls; "Oleo," played at a blistering tempo; "My Funny Valentine," which, although recorded by Davis' previous quintet for Prestige, had become a staple in the sextet's play book; and Monk's "Straight, No Chaser." It is perhaps the last that brings the sextet to full bloom in this performance. Davis plays the theme faster than normal, alternating the groove between full and cut time, and Bill Evans goes directly to quoting "Blue Monk" in his own solo. Also notable is the performance of "My Funny Valentine" without the saxophone giants John Coltrane or Cannonball Adderley. But here, again, given the recording quality, it just feels like they weren't miked -- the audience is louder than the band on most of this. Nonetheless, Davis had turned the tune inside out by this time and was playing it in his new modal style; the melody became a skeleton and was replaced by the ghosts of intervals that kept its integrity and made it recognizable. This is not to say Davis had abandoned melody for mode entirely because his melodic sensibility, which was instinctual, is what made the modalism on the sextet level possible in the first place. Ultimately, Jazz at the Plaza succeeds mightily on the level of its fine performance, but is for hardcore jazz fans only, due to its dubious sound quality. ~ Thom Jurek

ONS Connections: Electronic medical record can remind nurses to document post-pain medication scores

PHOENIX—Using electronic medical records (EMR) to remind nurses to implement post-pain medication score documentation (PPMSD) ensures that the prescribed pain medication remains effective, according to research presented at the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Connections: Advancing Care Through Science conference.

Many cancer patients and their loved ones fear uncontrolled pain. Controlling pain provides for quality of life, and it is a priority for oncology nurses. Pain scores allow nurses to understand the effectiveness of pain medication, but the complexity of nursing care of oncology patients puts many competing demands on the nurse. Nurses are busy, and they have trouble remembering when to document, said study author Joanne Abbotoy, BSN, RN, during her presentation at ONS Connections 2012. These demands can result in incomplete documentation. Document reviews have found that PPMSD was consistently missing. Staff nurses assess the effectiveness of pain medication, but role strain and interruption during documentation lead to incomplete PPMSD.

These researchers collaborated with their EMR team to design a prompt so that, when the use of a pain medication is documented, a medical logic module generates a task in the electronic medication administration record. The task reminds nurses to record the PPMSD. The EMR has a link so the task can be marked by the nurse to document the pain score on the nursing assessment flow sheet. If the nurse does not mark the task, it becomes overdue and turns red. The nurse administrator can electronically review overdue task reports. Also, overdue tasks are automatically printed at the end of each shift to provide a final reminder to complete the task.

From October 2011 to most recently in 2012, nurse completion of pain score documentation increased from 80.7% compliance to 92% compliance, according to Abbotoy.

Completing PPMSD throughout a patient's hospitalization allows the nurse and all patient care providers to review and monitor the patient's response to pain medication. This review can occur in real time or over a period of time, and it ensures that the prescribed pain medication remains effective.

Murli Deora says gas pipeline deal with Pakistan, Iran soon to be signed

Subscribe to Oneindia News

Jeddah, June 23 : Petroleum Minister Murli Deora on Monday said that India would soon sign an agreement with Iran and Pakistan on the .5 billion transnational pipeline project.

After meeting his Iranian counterpart Gholam Hussein Nozari here, Deora said that there were some issues with Pakistan, which have been sorted out. Some minor problems in the project have also been solved.

"India has to talk to Pakistan's new oil minister and we hope that the agreement would soon be signed with both countries, " Deora added.

The negotiations on the deal started in 1994 but have been stalled by a series of disagreements over prices and transit fees.

The Left parties have accused the UPA government of going back on the gas pipeline deal.

Murli Deora and Finance Minister P Chidambaram attended the meeting of the World Energy Ministers in Jeddah to discuss strategies to control spiralling crude prices yesterday.

Cong demands white paper on employment in Haryana

Subscribe to Oneindia News

Chandigarh, Aug 28: Alleging bungling in government recruitment, the Congress demanded that the Manohar Lal Khattar dispensation present a white paper on employment in the Haryana government and PSUs.

"The Manohar Lal Khattar government should immediately present a white paper on the state of employment in government, PSUs and private sector with a time bound framework for filling up all vacant posts," Congress spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala told media here.

"Bungling is going on in police recruitment in Haryana," he said. The recruitment of 5,000 constables of Haryana police has remained disorderly and grossly unorganised, he said. "There were several complaints regarding faulty electronic devices used for recording the race during police recruitment and biometric instruments not recording thumb impression correctly," he said.

"A myopic government failed to take note of the prevailing extreme heat and humidity conditions between June 18 and July 23 for conducting races," he said. During the process of recruitment, several candidates, who completed the 5,000 metres race in 20 minutes, were declared ineligible, while those who took 24 minutes were declared eligible, he alleged.

"Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, while speaking at a function to honour wrestler Sakshi Malik in Bahadurgarh has declared that many candidates in Haryana police recruitment have broken the Olympic records," he said.
