GOLDEN, CO, April 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Tara Demmon was still in college at Colorado State University when she produced an award-winning documentary in the fall of 2009. Now, over a year later, Tara, along with fellow classmates, Kaley Wolff, and Kim Cilli-Turner are being honored with an Honorable Mention award from the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) Festival of Media Arts, in the category of "Student Documentary".
The documentary is about BASE jumpers. BASE stands for Buildings, Antennae, Spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs). Tara came up with the idea because she knows a lot of people who participate in both BASE jumping and skydiving, and felt that they are closely related. "BASE jumping is not a well-known sport, but the jumpers who seek the adrenaline rush it provides are very dedicated and passionate about it," Tara says. "It's a high-risk, high-reward sport and I wanted to share their enthusiasm for what they do and why they do it,"
The BEA Festival of Media Arts is a worldwide exhibition of award-winning student and faculty works in a variety of categories, including audio, interactive multimedia, scriptwriting and documentary. It is a refereed exhibition and the perfect time to showcase the outstanding work of both students and their teachers. The goal of BEA is to encourage and enhance creative activities in broadcasting and other forms of electronic communication. BEA was formally known as the Association for Professional Broadcast Education and was established in 1955. They changed their name to the Broadcast Education Association in 1973, but they still have a long track record of supporting the growth and development of the audio/visual communications industry, including the ongoing education of new students.
Tara attended BEA's annual convention in Las Vegas, April 9-13. There, she received recognition and exhibition of the documentary, as well as the opportunity to meet and network with other multimedia professionals from around the world. While in Las Vegas, she also attended the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention, which took place at the same time. While this association is not related to BEA, it gave broadcast enthusiasts another chance to see the latest technology and meet some of the people who are revolutionizing the world of audio and video.
Tara has worked for Page 1 Solutions for a year and a half and is an integral part of their in-house video department. She has spearheaded several important projects, including the recent launch of Page 1's new C3 Video service, which allows medical and legal practices to create custom video for their website and Internet marketing efforts at an affordable cost.

Dietary yeast extracts tested as alternative to antibiotics in poultry
2011-04-15
This release is available in Spanish.
A dietary yeast extract could be an effective alternative to antibiotics for poultry producers, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study.
Microbiologist Gerry Huff with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Fayetteville, Ark., and her colleagues have been studying the effects of yeast extract as an immune stimulant and alternative to antibiotics in conventional turkeys. Non-pharmaceutical remedies and preventatives are particularly needed for organic poultry production, according to Huff, who works in the ...
Precipitation, predators may be key in ecological regulation of infectious disease
2011-04-15
MADISON – A little information can go a surprisingly long way when it comes to understanding rodent-borne infectious disease, as shown by a new study led by John Orrock from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The researchers studied wild deer mouse populations on the Channel Islands off the southern coast of California, which carry a variant of hantavirus called Sin Nombre virus. In their study appearing in the May issue of the journal American Naturalist, they show that just three ecological factors – rainfall, predator diversity, and island size and shape – can ...
Historical context guides language development
2011-04-15
This release is available in German.
This contradicts the common understanding that word-order develops in accordance with a set of universal rules, applicable to all languages. Researchers have concluded that languages do not primarily follow innate rules of language processing in the brain. Rather, sentence structure is determined by the historical context in which a language develops.
Linguists want to understand how languages have become so diverse and what constraints language evolution is subject to. To this end, they search for recurring patterns in language ...
Better HIV prevention interventions needed for juvenile offenders
2011-04-15
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – More intensive or family-based HIV prevention interventions may be needed to encourage juvenile offenders to use condoms and stop engaging in risky sexual behavior, say researchers from the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center (BHCRC).
Juvenile offenders are at increased risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases because they tend to have sex at earlier ages, have more sexual partners, use condoms less frequently and engage in more substance and alcohol use. Young offenders who are court-monitored but living at home ...
Polluted air leads to disease by promoting widespread inflammation
2011-04-15
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Chronic inhalation of polluted air appears to activate a protein that triggers the release of white blood cells, setting off events that lead to widespread inflammation, according to new research in an animal model.
This finding narrows the gap in researchers' understanding of how prolonged exposure to pollution can increase the risk for cardiovascular problems and other diseases.
The research group, led by Ohio State University scientists, has described studies in mice suggesting that chronic exposure to very fine particulate matter triggers events ...

Many restaurant staff are undertrained and misinformed about food allergies
2011-04-15
A new study published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy reveals that there is no association between a restaurant worker's knowledge of food allergy and his or her confidence in being able to provide a safe meal to a food allergic customer.
Food allergies are common, affecting 2% of adults and as much as 8% of children in the UK alone. Allergic reactions can cause a wide variety of symptoms, the most serious being anaphylaxis, which can cause death.
Led by Professor Helen Smith of Brighton & Sussex Medical School, UK, researchers telephoned 90 table-service restaurants ...
