LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Hugh M. Hefner (HMH) Foundation is pleased to announce that it is accepting nominations for the HMH First Amendment Awards. Established in 1979 by Christie Hefner, former CEO of Playboy Enterprises Inc., the Awards honor individuals who have made significant contributions in the vital effort to protect and enhance First Amendment rights for all Americans.
The importance of the First Amendment is brought to life in the actions of individuals who support and often fight to preserve and respect these values, says Christie Hefner, Chairman of the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards.
The Award winners, many of whom are unsung heroes, have traditionally come from the areas of journalism, education, publishing, law, government, and entertainment (motion pictures, television, and theatre) and have gone to great lengths and personal sacrifice to fight for the preservation of the first amendment.
Winners of the 2012 Awards included, Pablo Alvarado (Law): For successfully using the First Amendment to challenge ordinances that prevented day laborers from soliciting work on city sidewalks in Redondo Beach, California; Zack Kopplin (Education): Who led the effort to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act, stealth legislation to promote the teaching of creationism and intelligent design in public school science class; Thomas Drake (Government), Who shared an award with Jessica Radack, who represented him in his case for blowing the whistle on his employer the National Security Agency for massive waste, contract fraud, government wrongdoing and violations of the 4th Amendment rights of U.S. citizens; Rebecca MacKinnon (Book Publishing): For her first book, Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom, published by Basic Books in January 2012; and Stanley Sheinbaum (Lifetime Achievement): For his unmatched vision and courage on important issues including civil rights and civil liberties, economic justice, human rights, police reform, and world peace.
Each year the judges, like the winners, are dedicated advocates of the First Amendment. This year’s judges are:
Henry Weinstein isFounding Faculty, with Joint appointments in Literary Journalism and Law at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law.
Professor Weinstein served as a legal affairs writer, labor writer, and investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times from 1978-2008.
He is a recipient of the prestigious John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism, for his body of work that has been recognized as a monument to the importance of journalism in a free society, and the need for journalists who have the persistence and skill to dig into complex issues and lay them bare for the public.
A native of Los Angeles, Weinstein received a bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and a law degree from the university’s Boalt Hall School of Law. He reported for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the San Francisco Examiner before joining the Los Angeles Times in 1978.

Hugh M. Hefner Foundation Now Accepting Nominations for the 2013 First Amendment Awards
Dhondup Wangchen and Azimjon Askarov couldnt accept their awards last night at the International Press Freedom Awards because both are imprisoned for their work.
Wangchen, a Tibetan filmmaker, was given a six-year sentence in China in 2010 for his documentary Leaving Fear Behind, which chronicled Tibet under Chinese rule. Askarov has been imprisoned since 2010 in Kyrgyzstan, where he serves a life sentence on various charges after documenting ethnic clashes.
Mae Azango, a Liberian journalist whose life was threatened for her articles about female genital mutilation, and Mauri Konig from Brazil, who was beaten and left for dead during his investigation into human trafficking, were present to accept their awards from the Committee to Protect Journalists at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. CPJ promotes press freedom and supports imperiled journalists worldwide.
The CPJ, Amnesty International and other organizations helped pressure Liberia to suspend female circumcision, which has been used on as many as two out of three Liberian girls, Azango said in an interview before the awards ceremony.
When protests came from the Committee to Protect Journalists and Amnesty International and others, the government was pushed to speak up, Azango said. But its still going on, its a long tradition, so Ill continue to talk and write about it.
Female journalists are proving male journalists wrong that they only go after soft news, Azango, who calls herself the voice of the voiceless, said in her acceptance speech.
CPJ, based in New York, has documented 55 journalists killed in 2012, according to its website. Today there are at least 179 journalists imprisoned, a record in the CPJs history, Gwen Ifill, a broadcaster for PBS, said last night. Press outlets filled the tables at the awards ceremony and fundraising dinner, the most successful on record with more than $1.6 million, according to the CPJ.
Fewer than 10 percent of journalists murderers are brought to justice, said David Boies, a lawyer and chairman of the dinner. Some of the worst offending countries are functioning democracies, he said.
Ive spent the past 12 years walking the Brazilian border with Paraguay and Argentina to report on trafficking of children, Konig said in an interview before the awards ceremony. They continue to be the victims.

Freedom Innovations Wins the American Technology Award for Health & Medical Technologies
An increasing number of England’s beaches have won Blue Flag awards this year, bringing the country into the top 10 worldwide.
For 2012, 79 English beaches have received the awards, nine more than in 2011. The area with the most Blue Flags this year is Thanet in Kent, with nine, followed by Torbay, in Devon, and Cornwall, both with five.
New awards for 2012 included Herne Bay in Kent, Seaton Carew Centre in Tyne and Wear, and Bridlington North and Bridlington South in East Yorkshire.
However, around 30 per cent of the beaches might not reach tougher water quality standards being introduced next year, according to Keep Britain Tidy.
The rest is here:
Beaches fly flag for England
Sandown beach scooped both a Blue Flag and Quality Coast Award.
BEACHES on the Isle of Wight have topped the table in the latest Blue Flag awards.
Three beaches have scooped both Blue Flag and Quality Coast Awards and 11 have been given Quality Coast Awards by Keep Britain Tidy, which runs the Blue Flag scheme.
The 14 awards put the Island at the top of the table in the South East for the second year in a row. Thanet was second with ten awards.
Shanklin, Sandown and Ventnor retained their Blue Flag and Quality Coast Awards, while Colwell, Cowes, East Cowes, Gurnard, Seagrove, Springvale, Totland and Yaverland once again earned Quality Coast Awards.
The awards are made for beaches that meet criteria on issues including water quality and litter levels.
In a statement, Cllr George Brown, Isle of Wight Council cabinet member for tourism said: “Once again we have had excellent news from the Keep Britain Tidy Campaign about our beaches.
“This retains our number one standing as the best tourism destination in the south east for quality beaches and shows the hard work to maintain our beaches over the last years has been worthwhile.
“This is very good news for the Island as we build up to the main tourism season.”
Earlier this month ten Isle of Wight beaches on the IW have received top accolades from The Marine Conservation Society (MCS).

News: Waka Flocka Flame On Nicki Minaj Grammy Awards Criticism, “That's Bullsh*t” [Video]
Monday, Feb 20, 2012 12:06PM
A week after rap star Nicki Minaj raised eyebrows with her controversial Grammy Awards performance, Atlanta's Waka Flocka Flame has come to his mother's ex-client's defense.
Along with backing up Nicki, Flocka killed speculation suggesting she may be down with the Illuminati (devil worshipping).
“I ain't got no thoughts on that, that's bullsh*t. Honeslty, — n*ggas just make up names 'cause they don't know people's business,” Flocka said in an interview. “So they create business for people's business. Like, if people stop being so nosy and stay out of people's business, maybe the name Illuminati won't be created. Honestly, they're just making a lot of money off of that sh*t because they selling books to people that's buying it, and that money is generating millions. I don't believe in that sh*t. Salute to Nicki, I loved her performance. I love everything she does. Squad.” (Toronto Rappers)
A few days ago, Young Money's Lil Twist also stood up for Minaj.
“I loved Nicki's song and performance,” Twist beamed to XXLMag.com in New York City recently. “I love Nicki's whole swagger. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks. That's what I really love about my sister and how she goes about herself. That performance was Nicki. That's all I can, say–it was so Nicki.” (XXL Mag)
Catholic League president Bill Donohue recently aired out the self-proclaimed Barbie's religious-themed set.
“Nicki Minaj, fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl, showed up last night (February 12) on the red carpet at the Grammys with a guy dressed like the pope. This was just a prelude of what was to come. Minaj's performance began on stage with a mock confessional skit. This was followed by a taped video depicting a mock exorcism. With stained glass in the background, she appeared on stage again with choir boys and monks dancing. Perhaps the most vulgar part was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer. Finally, “Come All Ye Faithful” was sung while a man posing as a bishop walked on stage; Minaj was shown levitating.” (Catholic League)
Back in 2010, rap veteran Uncle Luke defended hip-hop mogul Jay-Z in light of his devil worshipping accusations.
“I don't know any devil worshippers. And who knows, maybe Jay-Z and other rappers have some devil worshipers as fans. But that doesn't mean entertainers are sacrificing virgins for Beelzebub. I didn't even know who the Illuminati were until the Internet started buzzing that Jay-Z was one of them. It's ridiculous. Jay-Z is a cool cat. He ain't Hollywood. He is a regular guy. He is so f*cking grounded. It is a shame people want to link him to this conspiracy.” (The 305)
