Lee of Evanescence connects at Saltair
MAGNA -- It's easy to see how Evanescence and band leader Amy Lee got popular enough to sell more than 10 million copies of their "Fallen" album and follow-up with a No. 1 debut with the new "The Open Door" set.
You have a sound that blends the guitar crunch prevalent in all the so-called "nu-metal" of the past decade with electronic blips, synthesized strings and Lee's grand piano. Then you put an attractive whirling dervish of a lead singer out front, picking at all manner of dramatic emotional scabs for lyrical inspiration.
Pain is a universal emotion, particularly among a certain sort of teenager, and Lee manages to connect with them on a grand scale with rock songs that reach for the epic at all times and a goth-inspired image. Wednesday at the Saltair, Lee connected with thousands of rabid followers through a slick, relatively lo-tech set drawing from both of the band's hit albums.
Opening with "Sweet Sacrifice," the first song on "The Open Door," the diminutive Lee appeared on stage bathed in smoke and red and purple lights, an appropriately murky setting. Follow-up "Weight of the World" established the loud-soft-loud dynamic that's been mined by dozens of successful bands, a formula that serves as the basis for nearly all of Evanescence's more rocking tracks.
In fact, the most aggressive songs in Evanescence's canon are also the most monotonous on stage. "Fallen" songs like "Going Under" and "Taking Over Me," while receiving loud cheers from the fans, tended to blur together. Better were the moments when Lee sat behind her piano, as she did for the delicate "Good Enough" at mid-show and for "My Immortal" during the encore of the show that lasted just more than an hour.
Naturally, the band's singles garnered the most raucous replies from the crowd. New single "Call Me When You're Sober" had the audience in a frenzy and Lee twirling like a headbanging Stevie Nicks. "Bring Me to Life," the single that first got Evanescence attention from radio and TV, turned into a booming singalong by the time Lee hit the first chorus.
Lee is certainly ready for the larger venues that await Evanescence in the coming year. Her stage energy made up for her relatively inert band, and creative lighting easily made up for any lack of special effects or video screens. Lee's voice remained strong throughout, and the singer seemed genuinely surprised at how into the show her audience was.
"You guys really know the new stuff. That's awesome," Lee said about half-way through the show. "You make me want to work twice as hard."
Evanescence's audience certainly appreciated the effort.
Who: Evanescence
When: Wednesday
Where: The Great Saltair
The Bottom Line: Amy Lee proved an engaging frontwoman as her band delivered a relentless-if-monotonous batch of goth-metal.

I have noticed that the Sign Shop Plugin is installed, but ofc disable for all users. So i have my "auto shop" (redstone and hoppers), but is really slow, hoppers work really slow.
My question is: is there a way to get perms to use sign shop plugin ? Maybe donation ?
or You have plans to activate it soon ?
I saw this plugin on other servers (not only pixelmon servers), and i can't see any problem of abusing.
Thank you!
EDIT: I read the problem with this plugin, the owners of the signs can wirte "Fossils" and then pay "dirt" for example... ye is a problem.. but i think there can be a solution. And now more and more people are making redstone auto shops, this will lag the server more.

The River is the fifth studio album, and the first double album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on October 17, 1980. Rolling Stone ranked it at number 253 on their list of the greatest albums of all time. On December 5, 2015 a deluxe box set of the album will be released. It is said to contain the recent remaster of the album, 2 cd's of 20-25 studio outtakes from the sessions, a dvd of pro shot footage from a 1980 concert, and a dvd of a feature length documentary on the making of the album.
The sources of The River go back into earlier parts of Springsteen's recording career. "Independence Day", "Point Blank", "The Ties That Bind", "Ramrod", and "Sherry Darling" were leftovers from his previous album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and had been featured on that 1978 tour, as had parts of "Drive All Night" as a long interpolation within "Backstreets."[10] "The River" had premiered at the September 1979 Musicians United for Safe Energy concerts, gaining a featured spot in the subsequent documentary No Nukes.[10]
Originally, the album was to be a single set entitled The Ties That Bind and released in late 1979.[11] Springsteen added darker material after he'd written the title track. Indeed, The River became noted for its mix of the frivolous next to the solemn. This was intentional, and in contrast to Darkness, for as Springsteen said during an interview, "Rock and roll has always been this joy, this certain happiness that is in its way the most beautiful thing in life. But rock is also about hardness and coldness and being alone ... I finally got to the place where I realized life had paradoxes, a lot of them, and you've got to live with them."[12]
On November 8, 2009, at a concert, Bruce Springsteen spoke about the album, saying: "The River was a record that was sort of the gateway to a lot of my future writing. It was a record we made after Darkness on the Edge of Town. It was a record made during a recession - hard times in the States. Its title song is a song I wrote for my brother-in-law and sister. My brother-in-law was in the construction industry, lost his job and had to struggle very hard back in the late 70s, like so many people are doing today. It was a record where I first started to tackle men and women and families and marriage. There were certain songs on it that led to complete records later on: "The River" sort of went to the writing on Nebraska, "Stolen Car" went to the writing on Tunnel of Love. Originally it was a single record. I handed it in with just one record and I took it back because I didn't feel it was big enough. I wanted to capture the themes I had been writing about on Darkness. I wanted to keep those characters with me and at the same time added music that made our live shows so much fun and joy for our audience. So in the end, we're gonna take you down to The River tonight."[13]
"Hungry Heart" was Springsteen's first U.S. pop singles chart top ten hit single, reaching number five.[14] (Springsteen had not intended the song to be for himself, having initially written it for The Ramones; manager/producer Jon Landau convinced Springsteen to keep the song for himself.) The album hit number one on the U.S. pop albums chart, a first for Springsteen, and sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. between its release and Christmas.[15] "Fade Away" reached number 20.[14]
The album was followed by a lengthy tour of North America and Western Europe during 1980 and 1981.[16] Since its release, The River has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA in the U.S., making it one of Springsteen's best-selling albums and his highest certified studio release after Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run.[17] In 2003, the album was ranked number 250 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[18] In a December 2013 interview, Springsteen's manager Jon Landau said that they were currently working on a deluxe reissue box set of The River.[19]

Unreleased outtakes[edit]
Like with the previous album, Springsteen wrote a large amount of music during album sessions, many of which has been released, a lot still unreleased. Songs such as "Held Up Without a Gun", "Be True", and "Roulette" were featured as b sides, the first two on the album's singles and the last on a Tunnel Of Love single. "Mary Lou", "I Wanna Be With You", "Bring on the Night", "Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own", "Loose Ends", "Dollhouse", "Where the Bands Are", "Living on the Edge of the World", "Restless Nights", "Take 'Em As They Come" were released on the Tracks box set with "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)" on The Essential Bruce Springsteen collection. Prior to the album being recorded, Springsteen had intended to release an album called The Ties That Bind. Of the songs recorded for that release, most made The River however an alternate version of "Stolen Car" was released on Tracks while a rockabilly version of "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" and "Cindy" remain unreleased although both fully completed studio versions of the songs exist. During The River sessions, Springsteen also recorded "Jole Blon", "Dedication", "Your Love" and "This Little Girl", songs he would eventually give to Gary U.S. Bonds for two of his albums on which Springsteen produced and appeared on along with other members of the E Street Band. "Janey Needs a Shooter" was also given to Warren Zevon, which he re-worked and recorded.[20]

Johnny Depp isn't innocent in the British arxent front either, with his flawless Jack Sparrow chummy Cockney drawl still a long way orf, but he's still in a whole different country from Graham.

Anyone in the Denver area know how to sew pretty well? I'm looking for someone who can remove the outer pocket of my Pinnacle and put a mesh pocket on it.
Paul I'm in Texas but here's a thought before you go hacking up your Pinnacle. If you want to take off the back pocket you'll probably have to open up the whole pack in order to sew anything on. This is going to weaken the seams because you will now have twice as many holes along the edge of the fabric. Personally I never thought a mesh pocket was that much different so I'd be leary of going to a lot of trouble to add one.

One of the best ways to use your Thanksgiving leftovers in an Encore Meal is to start with one of your favorite recipes and change it to fit the leftovers you have on hand.
Try to incorporate as much as you can, like your leftover vegetables and more.
Try something like…
– – Turkey & Noodle Soup in a Mash Potato Bowl (from a Chicken & Noodle Soup Recipe)
– – Turkey Salad Sandwich (from a Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe)
– – Turkey Wraps
– – Turkey Tacos, Enchiladas, Burritos, Nachos, etc…
– – Turkey Vegetable Soup (from a Beef Vegetable Soup recipe)
– – Turkey Meatloaf
– – Turkey Pasta Primavera, Spaghetti, Lasagna, etc..
– – Turkey Kabobs
Also just reorganize what you have on hand to make something new. For example, use your rolls to make turkey and cranberry sandwiches or turkey salad sandwiches.

Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
ResolutionTab is a menu bar app for fast switching between Standard & HiDPI display modes.
Modern apps and websites should look great on Retina displays, so we have to test them in both standard and ultrahigh resolution modes. But when you configure your display in System Preferences, it takes plenty of time to switch from the standard to the HiDPI mode and vice versa. ResolutionTab is a minimal app living in the menu bar that toggles your Mac between Retina and non-Retina resolutions in one click.
— 15" MacBook Pro Retina is compatible with HiDPI modes by default, so ResolutionTab will work out of the box.
— 11" MacBook Air is not compatible with HiDPI. The screen is too small, so resolution would drop below the minimum required by OS X.
— In all other cases, you have to enable virtual HiDPI modes manually.
Here is how to do this with Administrative privileges:
1. Launch Terminal app located in your /Applications/Utitlities folder.
2. Type sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES.
3. Log out and log in again.
Done. HiDPI is activated and ResolutionTab will work properly.
What's New in Version 1.1
- Improved menu and Preferences window.
- An option to launch the app at login.
- The full list of display modes in the menu.
- Global keyboard shortcut to quickly switch to the previous display mode.
Customer Reviews
Does what it says, and well
This is a great lil app for the price. On my 15" Retina it easily allows me to switch from my usual default of the "Looks like 1920 x 1200" in the Apple Pref Pane to the Full 2880x1800 of the retina display- and the full spectrum of display options in between.
The big selling point for me was that it allows quick toggle between these "custom hires modes" that it enables and the default pref-pane based resolution. The other resoltion app, "Display Menu" gives you access to the custom hires modes but forces you back through the standard display prefpane to regain 1920x1200 hidpi mode, which is a pain after about the 4th switch.
Worthless for external monitors.
Hilariously, this works beyond rediculous with the built in MacBook Retina screen. You can go up to a whooping illegible 2880x1800. However, I bought this for my EXTERNAL monitor, an ASUS PB278Q with 2560x1440, and guess what, this junkware won't display over 1600x900 on that monitor. What's really funny as well is Apple's Retina MacBook's are truly horrible with external displays. They did away with resolution settings altogether, and instead give you this obscenely stupid "feels like" setting which gives you ZERO control over the resolution of external monitors.
The old MacBook Pro (pre-Retina) worked perfectly with external monitors, displaying their true dimensions, but I'm sad to say the MacBook Retina as well as this software both conspire to make external monitors worthless. Thanks guys.
Works as advertised
I got this app to test some UI work in HiDPI mode and it seems to work flawlessly. The initial setup should probably display the information on enabling HiDPI mode instead of burying it under "More Information…" in the "HiDPI mode not available" dialog, but maybe I missed that info somewhere else.
I like the fact that in a multi-monitor setup like mine, one monitor can be set to HiDPI mode while the other one isn't.
Simple, cheap, works great: 5 stars.

Team-taught, globally focused courses
As part of Connecticut College's commitment to internationalizing its curriculum, four new, team-taught international courses were introduced in 2008-09. The goal of these course offerings was to promote interdisciplinary perspectives by bringing together faculty members from diverse disciplines to promote a unique discussion of difficult and important international issues.
Faculty Seminar on Interdisciplinarity and Foreign Languages
As a continuation of this initiative, the first of two faculty development seminars took place over the 2009-2010 academic year, with 5 faculty from foreign language departments (German, East Asian, Slavic, French and Arabic) and 5 faculty members from the departments of sociology, human development, government, economics and history. The outcome: eight new or significantly revised interdisciplinary courses with a foreign language component (FLAC) were added to the curriculum. Ten new or revised courses were created in 2010-2011 after the second faculty seminar.
Some current team-taught, international courses:
Contemporary Russian and American Cultures
A team-taught, dual language telecourse with the St. Petersburg School of Economics.
Gender in Communist and Post-Communist Societies
This course examines representations and theories of gender, social policies designed to create more just and egalitarian societies and the lived experiences of women and men in socialist and post-socialist Russia and China. Through the analysis of works of history, literature, memoir, film, political posters, advertising and podcasts, this course examines state political agendas behind constructions of femininity/masculinity, how these constructions have changed in the market-driven economies of modern Russia and China, and what dominant public rhetoric reveals about the realities of citizens of these regimes.
Insurgency and Counterinsurgency
Drawing from the disciplines of history and political science, this course examines insurgency (a variation of guerrilla warfare) and counter-insurgency (the government response) and seeks to understand the nature, causes and consequences of a variety of insurgencies. Class discussions include theories of insurgency as well as historical and contemporary case studies of nations such as Algeria, Malaysia, Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, Vietnam and Iraq.
Political Economy of Asia and Latin America in Comparative Perspective
This course examines the distinctive development paths of selected countries using a political economy approach, assessing the interaction between economics and politics across different regions. Some of the nations discussed include Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China and India. Major themes include the rise of emerging market economies, new patterns of trade and international relations, demographic transition, migration and remittances, employment, social protection and inequality.
Crossing the Sea: Transatlantic Dialogue Between Spain and the Americas
This course explores in an interdisciplinary fashion the permanent, problematic and enriching dialogue between Spain and the Americas. This transatlantic interaction began in 1492, reached a breaking point in the 19th century revolutions, and continues to shape the conflicts of our global moment. Through the analysis of historical texts, literary artifacts and film, the course considers key issues such as conquest slavery, modernity, post-colonialism and immigration.
Big History: From the Big Bang to the Present
The course examines history on the largest scale: the origins of the universe to the history of humanity and our unfolding present. An astronomer, geologist and historian trace the fundamental forces shaping change and continuity across time, with an eye to how history and the historical sciences learn about the past.

Peanut oil (Recipe: latkes/potato pancakes) {vegetarian}
First published in December 2009, this updated ingredient post features new links and tweaks to the recipe. Even though we associate latkes with Chanukah, they're a crowd pleaser at any time of year. Make small ones for your Sunday football parties, or large ones for a vegetarian dinner main dish. Kids love latkes smothered with sour cream or apple sauce.
Rudolf Diesel had a dream.
When the German inventor and Utopian idealist demonstrated his new engine at the 1900 Paris World Exposition, it ran not on petroleum, but on peanut oil.
In the perfect world, Diesel believed, renewable biofuels like peanut oil could power farm machinery and automobiles. In our imperfect world, my car still drinks gasoline, but peanut oil powers my frying.

SalentOS is completely free and open source distribution of Linux inspired by Salento, a land molded by the wind and sea, steeped in history and art in the south of the Italian peninsula, and based on the world's most popular free operating system, Ubuntu.
Availability, supported platforms and boot options
The distribution is available for download in two editions, a Full one and a Light one (with fewer apps), both featuring the minimalistic Openbox window manager. They are distributed as Live CD/DVD ISO images and tagged only for the 32-bit architectures, but fully compatible with the 64-bit hardware platform.
The boot menu is identical with the one found on the current Ubuntu operating system, specifically designed to automatically load the live session after approximately seven seconds, allowing users to choose between trying or installing the distro.
Pressing any key on your keyboard during the initial timeout will allow users to choose a different language (default is English), boot another operating system from the first disk drive, check the disc for defects (only if using a CD or DVD media), run a memory (RAM) test, as well as to install the distribution without testing it (not recommended).
Beautified Openbox window manager with state-of-the-art apps
As mentioned, the graphical session in SalentOS is powered by the minimalistic Openbox window manager, which has been beautified to look like a modern desktop environment, with a single panel on the upper part of the screen, from where users can access the main menu, launch apps, and interact with running programs.
Default applications include the DeaDBeeF audio player, GNOME MPlayer video player, Mirage image editor, Xfburn CD/DVD burning utility, Chromium web browser, Geary email client, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Transmission BitTorrent client, Synaptic Package Manager, and the entire LibreOffice office suite.
Bottom line
All in all, SalentOS is yet another lightweight Ubuntu-based operating system that allows anyone to turn old and semi-old computers into modern and powerful workstations that are a lot more faster, customizable and beautiful than any other proprietary OS.

Fox News gets it "right" on the Trayvon Martin case.
"I agree with Fox News on the Trayvon/Zimmerman case here." Did I just think that?
Fair and Balanced? Fair and balanced!
"This is the legitimate debate to be had about whether this Florida law contributed to this, whether that's a sensible law, and I'm not so sure it is. It seems to be there's traditional standard of self defense…which this law goes further then and sort of makes it—if you just feel threatened—you can use deadly force.
I'm not so sure we want a society in which that is the case."

I think you did just agree with Fox News. And, I agree too.
I think many of us hate fox news, but in the words of the Buddha, " Hatreds do not ever cease in this world by hating, by by not hating; this is an eternal truth." Thank you for allowing a little love to spread!

EDMOND — Over the last two years, Tulsa Union has made a habit of pulling off close wins in the playoffs.
They didn't need such dramatics Friday.
EDMOND — Over the last two years, Tulsa Union has made a habit of pulling off close wins in the playoffs.
They didn't need such dramatics Friday.
The No. 1-ranked Redskins dominated up front and came out with a 52-19 win over Edmond Santa Fe at Wantland Stadium to advance to the Class 6A semifinals.
Union (10-2) will face Jenks next weekend for a berth in the finals. The game will be played Friday or Saturday at a neutral site to be announced.
"It's a fun deal every time we play them," Union coach Kirk Fridrich said. "We make each other better, and there's nothing better than Thanksgiving practices — except for practicing the Monday after."
One of those two teams has won every 6A championship since 1996.
Justin Silmon was Union's leading scorer coming in, but it was sophomore Terrel Buchanan that took over against Santa Fe.
Buchanan ran for 252 yards and three touchdowns.
"We really connected and came together tonight," Buchanan said. "We let our minds go and just came to play. Everything went out way. Santa Fe's a great team.
"It was a great experience for me to play in a game like this."
Last season, en route to a fourth consecutive 6A title, Union won all four of its playoff games by one point. The Redskins opened the playoffs with a three-point win over Westmoore last week.

There other professing Christians on this particular list as well. Galileo, for instance, although had much controversy with the church at the time, attributed his findings to his beliefs.

Have you considered that the professed "Christians" on the list were merely avoiding religious persecution?

Most of those quoted here weren't atheists at all! Look them up. Especially Galileo, his quote is acknowledging God, many of the others disliked religion, that fact doesn't make you an atheist!!! There are plenty of atheists you could quote - DO RESEARCH!!!

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
East Carbon's request for $75,000 for a walking trail was received positively by the Carbon County Recreation and Transportation Special Service District board at its April meeting.
Mayor Orlando LaFontaine appeared at the April 1 meeting to present his town's request for the funds that would be used to create a one-and a-half mile paved path which would connect East Carbon and Sunnyside cities. He submitted documents showing that the town had already raised $218,197 in funds and in-kind services to put towards the estimated $286,394 by partnering with Utah State Parks and East Carbon Development Corporation.
"Parks is giving us $148,000 and ECDC is contributing $70,000 in in-kind work that will help us with the whole project," LaFontaine said. "This has been in our city plan for sometime now."
He explained that the 10-foot wide path is a further effort in East Carbon's move to help its citizens get more healthy. The paved path would come on the heels of the city opening a community fitness center in February.
"This will give people an opportunity to get healthier and will unite the two cities," he said.
The fitness facility won the town major kudos and a bit of impetus for further support from one board member.
"They did a recreation project on their own," Boardmember Neil Breinholt said. "They opened this fitness center which is one of the most impressive things I have seen without a penny of help from us."
While the paved path concept didn't meet with any real opposition from the special service district board, there were issues and concerns raised by the members.
Given careful consideration was just how to keep four-wheelers from trying to hop on the path.
"How're you going to keep the ATVs (all terrain vehicles) off of it?" asked service district boardmember Sam Quigley.
LaFontaine had a few ideas and said with a laugh, "barriers, signs and people going to jail."
He went on to explain that the column-type barriers would restrict access but that there was a system for unlocking and removing them for emergency vehicles.
However, the East Carbon mayor did admit that keeping some of the more determined riders off might be problematic.
"It seems there's nowhere those four-wheelers won't go," said LaFontaine. "They can get into anything and everything."
Boardmember Bill Krompel asked whether the town had secured the rights of way for the entire length of the path from Viking Park in East Carbon to Sunnyside Park.
LaFontaine assured the board that his city owns the property up to the portion of Sunnyside Park where the trail will end.
Quigley sought answers on what plans the city had for maintenance of the path once it was finished.
"As one example I saw the walkway in Helper and it's not looking good," he said.
The mayor said he is working with the same people who were involved with Helper's project and that recent experience had taught them some valuable lessons.
"For one thing they will be using a higher quality coating," LaFontaine said.
One concern was that the $286,394 price tag may not be firm as it wasn't recent.
LaFontaine was asked to get a new bid, produce a plan for long-term maintenance and protecting the path from ATVs and return to the next meeting of the district for further consideration.
"I will get this done right away," he said. "I am just keeping my fingers crossed we will be able to keep it within the budget.
In other business, Sunnyside city representatives were on hand to update the district board members on the progress of the town's Little League concession stand.
The special service district pledged $80,000 toward completing the project at the beginning of the year.
Sunnyside City Councilman Mike Marquez and City Recorder Polly Sanderson reported that old two-story structure had been completely demolished and the work on the one-story building fashioned after Price's has started.
"We are ready to pour the footers and the block work should be starting in the next couple of weeks," said Marquez.
To date, the special service district has cut $50,000 in checks to cover the costs of the project and were assured by Sanderson that no more money would need to be issued for awhile.
There won't be anymore draws until it's complete," she said.
Sunnyside's request was easily granted once all the paperwork was together in March, as district board members expressed admiration for the community support of Little League in Sunnyside and East Carbon.
The district board learned that between 40 and 50 children ages 8 to 12 play on the field.

CEW 2008 Beauty Awards
On May 2, 2008, at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria, Cosmetic Executive Women awarded their annual CEW Beauty Insider's Choice Awards to the standouts in mass, prestige and independent beauty categories. Based on the votes of CEW members and the board of directors, nearly 600 products were judged, with 135 finalists chosen across 27 categories. Carlotta Jacobson, CEW president, spoke during the luncheon, acknowledging the innovation and creativity of this year's entries.
Nancy Berger Cardone, publisher of Allure magazine and a sponsor of the event for the past six years, commented on the significance of the beauty awards, noting that a recent report in The New York Times Style section acknowledged the importance of lipstick purchases during a slowdown in consumer confidence, as a significant barometer of our economy today. She also mentioned the ability beauty has to provide a spiritual lift, albeit at a reasonable price to economy-conscious consumers. "Beauty may not be recession-proof," said Cardone, "but it is recession-resistant." "There are 32,510 beauty blogs today, which speaks to the importance of the "beauty conversation" she concluded.
Winners of this year's awards, hosted by Mario Cantone, star in the recently launched film, Sex and the City, were as follows:

The actions of a private prison company that took months to turn over investigative materials to local agencies after a violent prison riot last year in Sayre could lead to a change in Oklahoma law.
Oklahoma Department of Corrections wants private prison companies to share information, official says
Jerry Massie, a spokesman for the state Corrections Department, said the agency will propose an amendment to an existing law dealing with private prison companies during the upcoming legislative session.
The change would force private prison companies housing out-of-state inmates in Oklahoma to provide information concerning "a riot, escape or other serious emergency and facility operations upon request of Oklahoma DOC," agency records show.
It also would allow the state agency to fine companies who don't comply.
Minutes from a recent corrections board meeting show the Oct. 11, 2011, prison riot at the North Fork Correctional Facility — which required a sizable response from local law enforcement agencies — is the impetus of the soon-to-be-proposed law change.
"The riot received much publicity from local sheriff offices talking about the incident, which happened in October 2011," Corrections Department documents state. "By December 2011, local law enforcement still had not received information on charges to be filed on the offenders involved in the riot nor had they received any reports on the incident."
The riot, which is still somewhat shrouded in mystery, left 46 prisoners injured.
Sixteen of those were hurt badly enough to be taken to nearby hospitals.
Three prisoners were in critical condition, prison officials said shortly after the melee.
All of the inmates at the facility are from California, which began transferring prisoners out of state years ago to ease overcrowding.
North Fork, which is in the western Oklahoma town of Sayre, is owned by Corrections Corporation of America.
The company owns and operates dozens of prisons across the nation, including three others in Oklahoma.
Massie said the Corrections Department is allowed to review the security plans private prison companies will implement in Oklahoma and also is permitted to screen inmates coming in from out of state.
"We have some oversight responsibilities … even though they're not our inmates," Massie said. "If they're going to send those inmates to Oklahoma, they ought to be willing to give us information … if they have something happen at one of the prisons."
When the amendments were discussed at a recent corrections board meeting, Corrections Department Director Justin Jones pointed out that Corrections Corporation of America is not subject to open records laws because it's a private company.
When asked by The Oklahoman whether the amended laws, if passed, would trump open records laws, Massie said he wasn't sure at this point.
"We hope so," he said. "We certainly think it does."
Steve Owen, a spokesman for the corrections company, said the company has and will continue to work with local agencies and prosecutors.
"For the past 14 years, CCA has consistently worked closely with local law enforcement agencies and the district attorney's office," Owen said. "At all times our facility management and staff fully cooperate with and support the investigative processes of law enforcement officials and prosecutors."
Sayre Police Chief Ronnie Harrold echoed comments made by Owen, although his most recent statement conflicts with what he told The Oklahoman in December 2011 — about two months after the riot.
"I can tell you that my department works closely with CCA and its employees and have no such concerns," Harrold said in an email statement written Thursday. "We have found CCA to be very responsive and cooperative when the need arises for our department to request information about an incident or to access the facility."

- How to Read a Study Record
We will study the total gastrointestinal transit time (GITT), gastric emptying and small intestine motility in NET patients before and after treated with somatostatin analogues and compare these to healthy subjects. For this we will use radio-opaque markers and the newly developed Motility Tracking System (MTS).
Hypothesis: Patients with NET and carcinoid syndrome have decreased GITT, gastric emptying and small bowel transit time and an increase in phase III MMC activity compared to healthy subjects. Treatment with somatostatin analogues increase transit times and decrease phase III MMC activity and improves the clinical symptoms.

Genetics of Taste Lab
|Determine if fatty acids are the 6th Taste.
|Enroll participants, prepare DNA and analyze taste genes.
Welcome to a world where very small changes in a person's DNA can have a huge impact on how they perceive taste.
The community-based Genetics of Taste Lab at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is now home to a new and groundbreaking population study! Findings from the study will contribute new insights into the possibility that there are more than just the five known tastes of sweet, sour, salty, umami (savory), and bitter. The focus for this study will be to learn more about people's ability to taste fatty acids.
Assuming people can detect the taste of fatty acids, how does it happen? Research suggests that humans can detect the taste of fatty acids, but how this occurs is not known. To look into this question, the Genetics of Taste Lab is conducting a new research study for public participation. Using an omega-6 essential fatty acid (linoleic acid), the Lab is examining both genetic and environmental factors that might contribute to the ability to taste this important nutrient.
The Genetics of Taste Lab is a unique venue for both research study participation and citizen science, connecting the community to real scientific research. • Make scientific research accessible and relevant to people's everyday lives. • Actively generate and publish new knowledge to contribute to the field of genetics and human health.
This research study is being conducted FOR the community and BY the community. Our scientific team includes citizen scientists, undergraduate interns, and Teen Science Scholars.
This two-year study is led by Nicole Garneau PhD and Richard Mattes PhD and made possible by a partnership between the Health Science and Visitor Programs Departments at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the Nutrition Science Department at Purdue University.

Other People's Pantries #157
From Toni (Toni's Kitchen Diary), in Austin, Texas:
My pantry is relatively small (3.5 ft by 3.5 ft by 8.5 ft tall). I installed Elfa shelving in place of the standard fixed shelves. What I love about the Elfa is that the shelves can be moved around to customize the space.
I was inspired to reorganize my pantry after reading a "Good Housekeeping" article about Jamie Lee Curtis' organizing tips. Sadly, the online version does not have her kitchen pictures, featuring deep drawers filled with plastic containers, each labeled on the top. Her tips about making product packaging more pleasing to the eye really intrigued me; it seemed so "doable."
Armed with my trusty label maker and some clear plastic organizers, most of which I had on hand already, my daughters and I spent a couple of hours repackaging and labeling my pantry contents.
Read more about Toni's pantry on her blog.
On Saturdays, for more than three years, we've been peeking into Other People's Pantries all around the world.
*There are two more pantries to share. If you'd like this feature to continue -- if you've been meaning to send your photos but haven't gotten around to it -- please send in your pantry photos. Here's how.
And, please put your camera to work on Market to Pantry, alternating on Saturdays with Other People's Pantries.
*There are two more markets to share. Show us your favorite supermarket, farmers' market, ethnic market, big box store or roadside stand. We'd love to see where you shop for food. Here's how.

|Accession Numbers: EG11105 (EcoCyc), b0597, ECK0590
Synonyms: ybdB
Subunit composition of
proofreading thioesterase in enterobactin biosynthesis = [EntH]4
proofreading thioesterase in enterobactin biosynthesis = EntH
EntH is a thioesterase that is involved in the biosynthesis of enterobactin [Leduc07]. It acts as a proofreading enzyme that hydrolyzes misacylated EntB aryl intermediates [Guo09, Chen09]. [Guo09] reports that the catalytic activity of EntH is sensitive to the pattern of hydroxyl groups on the aryl-CoA substrates [Guo09], while [Latham14] saw no such effect. Although EntH can utilize both CoA and holo-EntB as the substrate thioester, holo-ACP is a very poor substrate [Latham14].
While EntH is not required for enterobactin synthesis in vitro [Gehring98], it is required for optimal synthesis in vivo [Leduc07]. EntH interacts with phosphopantetheine-modified EntB in vivo [Leduc07].
Esterase activity of EntH was first discovered in a high-throughput screen of purified proteins [Kuznetsova05]. Benzoyl-CoA was found to be a good substrate, with a Km of 82 µM [Leduc07].
Crystal structures of EntH have been determined [Badger05, Wu14]. The quarternary structure is best described as a dimer of dimers [Wu14]. Enzymes with mutations in predicted active site residues have been purified and kinetically characterized [Guo09, Latham14, Wu14]. EntH belongs to the 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase subfamily of the hot dog fold superfamily of proteins [Pidugu09]. Structural and functional comparisons between EntH and its paralog MenI provided insight into the substrate specificity and evolution of the hotdog fold enzymes [Latham14, Wu14].
EntH production is increased under iron starvation conditions; overproduction of EntH inhibits production of enterobactin [Leduc07].
