Marr Glacier, Antarctica - Researchers from Palmer Station on Anvers Island explore a melting edge of the Marr Glacier off of the Antarctic Peninsula. Glaciologists from the British Antarctic Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey then compared more than 2,000 aerial photos and 100 satellite images of 244 glaciers to find that 87 percent have calved off, thinned and/or pulled back. “It appears that in recent times this large mixed population of floating and tidewater glaciers has responded synchronously” to a climatic warming, the scientists wrote in Science. Due to global warming, the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed up rapidly, about 6 degrees over the past 50 years. Winter sea ice has decreased by more than 20 percent since 1973.

BACKSTORY: JIM GEHRZ
Against All Odds, the Staff Sgt. Jessica Clements story, by award-win-ning photjournalist Jim Gehrz, who lives to capture the moment.
Minneapolis Star Tribune Photo Assignment #89440. VA Medical Center, 10 a.m.
The assignment sheet read: need photographs of Dr. Barbara Sigford as she performs rehabilitation work with soldiers who have sustained brain injuries in Iraq.
Another staff photojournalist had been assigned, but there was a scheduling conflict and I ended up going instead. While driving to the hospital, our director of photography, Peter Koeleman, called and asked me to keep an eye open for any patients who might make a good subject for a story dealing with the broader issue of large numbers of soldiers returning from this war who, due to better body armor than in previous conflicts, were surviving terrible injuries that would have proved fatal in the past.
The instant reporter Maura Lerner and I met Staff Sgt. Jessica Cle-ments--an engaging young soldier who was able to flash a wonderful smile despite having suffered a near-fatal head injury caused by a roadside bomb blast--we knew we had found a very special person whose story would eloquently embody the plight of so many others who had received life-threatening injuries.
Our first obstacles to getting the story involved protective staff members at the VA hospital. Fortunately, when Maura and I met with Jessica and her mother, we were able to convince them and hospital staff of our sincere commitment to the story and Jessica’s well-being. We followed Jessica and her mother for several weeks of rehabilita-tion at the VA hospital until she was ready to endure an operation at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, Md., that would repair the portion of her skull that had been removed to relieve brain swelling. Gaining access for her surgery proved to be a more difficult challenge.
Jessica flew to Washington, DC, where she stayed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC). When we called the PR folks at WRAMC, they said she would have her operation at the NNMC. When we called the NNMC, a PR person informed us that she would definitely not have surgery there. This was untrue, and when we explained this to him, he seemed to become even more determined to prevent us from gaining access. At one point, he said that Jessica did not want to participate in the story anymore (he, in fact, had never talked with her), and he even left a message saying that “he intended to turn the story off.” Of course, in a democracy, there is no bigger challenge to those of us working in a free press than to have a military official (or government) threaten to do something he has no authority or moral right to do. There is also no bigger challenge to two quiet but profoundly determined newspaper reporters. The PR person had no idea what he had unleashed. Maura and I took turns on the phone, calling him, calling others in the office and even ap-pealing to those above him.
Ultimately, despite no assurances from the military representatives, we flew to DC and hoped that our persistence would prevail. It finally did, and a PR person agreed to escort us to her room prior to surgery (unfortunately, not before being detained by the military police for half an hour outside the NNMC because we looked suspicious). Once inside and about 15 feet from Jessica’s room, the PR man turned to me and said, “You realize that no pictures will be allowed.” I was shocked, but after a brief, somewhat intense discussion, I accepted that our story would likely end prematurely because I felt that I could not place Jessica in the middle of a heated argument. I disappointed-ly put my cameras down and entered Jessica’s room to wish her well. The first thing Jessica and her mother asked me was, “Where are your cameras?” When I explained what had happened, they both objected, and due to their insistence, I was allowed to continue the story. I did the best I could in the time allotted, and when I checked the time stamps on my digital files, it turned out that I had been given about four minutes of access before Jessica was wheeled into the operating room. For the newspaper, that came to more than $1,000 per minute. I flew back one week later for another photo session at NNMC, and this time I was given about a half an hour.
The final leg of the story found Jessica returning home to her family in Ohio. After making the 14-hour drive to Akron, I was rewarded with the amazing smile of a soldier who had proudly served her country and was finally home, safe and in the arms of those who cherish her most. It was an especially heartwarming sight for me because her journey home had become a very personal one. My own son, Mi-chael, was now in harm’s way serving as a Navy medic on the ground with Marines in Iraq. In the course of covering Jessica’s amazing story, I came to appreciate how important it was not only for our readers but also for me personally to see her get home safely.
Jim’s Favorite Photograph(s)
I have to say that I have two favorite photographs from the story about Jessica Clements. The first is the portrait of her in bed, with hands clasped, staring into the distance. There is just one frame of that moment, but it seems to have captured the essence of her physical as well as inner beauty while also showing the precarious nature of her condition. In this por-trait, I see more than just a soldier, I see the anguished look of beautiful young woman who instead of excitedly looking to the future has been forced to confront her own mortality and the reality of an uncertain future. The other photograph I enjoy most is the one where Jes-sica is looking up and laughing as she plans for her future at home in Ohio; her mother plays with Jessica’s niece in the background. The contrast between the two photographs, the one with hands clasped and the smile, is jarring. Seeing Jessica’s natural, enthusiastic smile after

Aug. 29, 2005 - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - Hurricane Katrina was an extraordinarily powerful and deadly storm. One of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States, with 1,420 deaths, Katrina was also the costliest natural disaster, amassing over $75 billion in damages. Katrina is surpassed by the Galveston, Texas, hurricane in 1900 that claimed at least 8,000 fatalities. Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge was what made the storm so deadly. Levees separating Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans were breached by the surge, which resulted in the flooding of about 80 percent of the city.
Many survivors found themselves homeless, like Henry Rhodes, who sits in a New Orleans Police Department boat after being rescued in the 7th Ward on North Miro Street. Picture by Gary Coronado/Palm Beach Post/ZUMA

On Nov. 18, West Yorkshire Police Constable Sharon Beshenivsky was killed during a robbery in Bradford, England. She was shot on her daughter Lydia’s fourth birthday. Sadly enough, Sharon had changed her shift to ensure she was home in time for her birthday party.
Sharon, 38, had been a serving as constable for only nine months. She was the sixth female officer to die in the line of duty in England and Wales, the second female officer to be fatally shot (the first was Yvonne Fletcher in an incident involving the Libyan Embassy in 1984) and the first female officer to die in an ordinary gun crime. She had three children and two stepchildren. Another police officer, PC Teresa Millburn, was also shot in the incident, receiving wounds to the shoul-der. Closed-circuit television cameras in Bradford tracked a car rush-ing from the scene and used an automatic number plate recognition system to trace its owners. This led to the arrest of six suspects, but all were later released.
Police named Mustaf Jama (25), Yusaf Jama (19) and Muzzaker Shah (24) as prime suspects. Yusaf was arrested in Birmingham on Nov. 26 and was subsequently charged with murder and robbery. On Dec. 12, Muzzaker was arrested in Newport, Wales, and was later charged with her murder. Mustaf remains at large.
Sharon was an “enthusiastic, mature and very positive colleague” with an infectious laugh, said Chief Constable Colin Cramphorn. “I think her inspector said it all for me when he said he would have liked 30 Sharons on the shift.” Sharon had been a police community support officer for two years before joining the Yorkshire force. She died after being shot in the chest, the chief constable said. He confirmed Sharon had been wearing body armor, which provided limited ballistic pro-tection, but the shot had penetrated her chest. Sharon’s funeral took place on Jan. 11 in Bradford Cathedral.

Richvale, California, USA - Bryce Lundberg and his dog Chief get pelted with rice and barley during the planting season on his organic rice farm. A promising new report about genetically modified corn recently appeared on a Website sponsored by the corn’s corporate creator, biotechnology giant Monsanto Co. Citing new research by the University of California, Davis, the report said corn altered to produce its own pesticide could make farmers across the country wealthier and reduce the use of toxic insecticides. But there was one fact the Biotech Knowledge Center Website failed to mention: Monsanto paid for the UCDavis research. Following a pattern set by farm chemical companies in the 1960s, the biotechnology industry is mining public agricultural colleges like UC Davis for scientific research, confidential business advice and academic support for its technology. At UC Davis, biotechnology companies helped pay for laboratory studies, scholarships, postdoctoral students’ salaries, professors’ travel expenses and even the campus utility bill. Some professors earn extra money, up to $2,000 a month, consulting for such companies on the side. Picture by Renee C. Byer/Sacramento Bee/ZUMA

Kadoka, South Dakota, USA - Twister Sister Melanie Metz of St. Cloud, Minnesota, pho-tographs a low-precipitation supercell. The supercell produces a few small tornados and joins a front that roars across the Dakotas and slams into the Twin Cities. Widely considered to be the best among the 1000-plus serious storm chasers across the U.S., the Twister Sisters are pseudo celebrities in meteorology circles. Driven by their passion for big weather, the two use serious science and uncanny instincts to calculate where Mother Nature’s mighty blow will strike next.

Los Banos, California, USA - Officers from the Central Valley Methamphetamine Task Force High Intensity Drug Traffic Area (HIDTA) wear chemical suits to sift through the lab waste dumped in an orchard by meth producers. Since 2000, authorities estimate that over 5,000,000 pounds of toxic waste from meth labs has been dumped into the fertile soil in California’s Central Valley. The Central Valley, considered the meth capital of America, is populated with methamphetamine super labs that produce large amounts of meth for nationwide distribution. These super labs are operated by Mexican drug-trafficking organizations, which import meth-making substances from Europe, the Middle East and Far East. Then they move their supplies, labor and the finished product across the border into the Golden State. Picture by Mark Allen Johnson/ZUMA

Aug. 15, 2005 - Outside of Iriba, Chad – This Iridimi refugee camp is home to over 14,000 refugees who fled the conflict in Darfur after the Janjaweed attacked their villages. An estimated two million Sudanese have been displaced, and over 200,000 have fled into neighboring Chad. Children are the smallest witnesses of horror, having seen their villages burned, their mothers and sisters raped and their fathers and brothers killed. Picture by Mario E. Ruiz/ZUMA
