how come this page lacks scientific references? for a subject like GFP, one could find endless supplies of papers... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.150.56.131 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 8 July 2006

Since 69.123.68.35 keeps trying to add a Chalfie reference I decided to add a bit of history, including the specific contributions of the 4 main players in the development of GFP. I also fleshed out some detail on the specific mutants that led to EGFP. -AH — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewHires (talk • contribs) 00:28, 8 February 2007

GFP gene insertion
Does someone think he/she could discuss how insertion of GFP into a genome/gene/"gene encoding for a protein" works? --Cyberman (talk) 19:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

GFP Structure
GFP is not a unique structure in fact it has a very typical beta barrel structure seen frequently in membrane proteins such as OmpA. I have corrected that statement. Nick

Uses
In short, whats it used for? Like many scientific and historical articles on wikipedia, this one goes of at a tangent, without actually describing its importance. You know, scientists don't wear lab coats and drink coffee into the night just to discover a protein they do it for a reward, or its use in the science community. And that reward/use is....? Anyone care to help out?Tourskin 23:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, need to flesh out WHY the protein is so important, and the diversity of it's uses. AndrewHires 21:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Well actually you are wrong. Very often scientists do research on something purely because they are interested in it. Much research is mostly theoretical in the hopes that somehow it will be useful but with no understanding of what that use migh be. In short, often the purpose is merely to expand the body of knowledge we already have and to be able to take what we learn and apply it. I have only heard anecdotally that GFP was discovered because some scienist wanted to figure out why jelly fish glowed. He was given money for this because the scientific community often funds many projects that have biological significance because you never know where the next big discovery will be found and in theory evey piece of information will one day be useful. As for why GFP is important, it can be bound to many biomolecules and now that we know the genes that can encode for it we have investigated how proteins move, interact and degrade, due to the flourscent tag. Also it is used to deterimine when and where certain genes are expressed. On a personal note, I am interested if anyone knows of an industrial, non-biological use. Seems like it should have some applications there. 75.187.39.176 (talk) 16:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Tourskin and Andrew, we need more structure and less random tangents for this section. I suggest to start with 'pure' GFP (labeling of cells, organelles, brainbow), then explain fluorescent tagging of other proteins (cellular and subcellular localization, timing), then GFP-based sensors (pH, Ca, etc.). Permission to rewrite? --Millencolin (talk) 21:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Please be bold; if you screw up, the current digressions remain in the archive and may be mined for useful and encyclopedic information. - Eldereft (cont.) 19:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge
mGFP should probably be merged as it is only a slight modification of GFP and it may be more informative to have the mGFP content in the main GFP page. It may be a bit confusing though, as m before GFP (or RFP or CFP, etc) more commonly refers to monomeric versions. Any other votes? 66.75.152.122 16:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks like a good merge candidate to me. -- MarcoTolo 20:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Merged! AndrewHires 01:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

A question
Is the gene itself fluorsecent, or is it only the protein product of the gene that is.

Meaning, if one were to light UV light on a concentration of plasmids containing this gene (but with no nutrient such as arabinose added and no bacteria or other organism), would it be fluorescent? (green?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.107.66.155 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The protein (the green fluorescent protein) is the light-reactive product of the gfp gene. Thus, no, a plasmid containing the gfp gene would not, by itself, fluoresce in the green portion of the visible spectrum. -- MarcoTolo 20:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Emmision and excitation spectra
A. victorias GFP is excited at 395 nm and 470 nm and emmits light at 509 nm (Maximums). Source: http://public-1.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS2/projects/jonda/chromoph.htm --David Munch 12:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Primary references are preferred over webpages and the existing references already cover this aspect of GFP. AndrewHires 01:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Non working link
The link "• Interactive Java applet demonstrating the chemistry behind the formation of the GFP fluorophore." does not work anymore. I wouldn't just remove it, since I dont have time to check up if the link has just changed to something else. --David Munch 20:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Fixed link - thanks for the heads-up. -- MarcoTolo 20:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Post translational modification of GFP to make it work
As I understand it, residues of the alpha helix react inside the beta barrel to form the fluorophore, so that the final, fluorescent, protein is chemically modified from the original string of amino acids. Any info about this? 141.5.194.4 12:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

 * You are correct. The exact side-chain composition induces particular cyclizations to occur.  The exact chromophores that are created is gone into in some detail in the Green Fluorescent Protein review by Tsien.  Also, papers by Remington on crystallography of various mutants would be a good place to go for greater depth on this issue. AndrewHires 07:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Errors in history section
GFP and aequorin are totally different proteins (hence the different names). Aequorin is an ion-sensitive indicator, and GFP is (mainly) used to tag individual proteins. There is some GFP history here, and also some good information on the differences between the two proteins and different methods of fluorescent marking in "Molecular Biology of the Cell" (Alberts et al, 4th Ed, 2002). -203.171.67.232 09:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * GFP and Aequorin were not implied to be the same protein, but perhaps the distinction should have been more clear. Modified it. That link is bad, correct link added to External links.  I think credit is properly given to all major contributors according to the various reviews, so removed the disputed marking. If someone has additional specific concerns re: history, happy to discuss or add the tag back. AndrewHires 23:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Species
For all technical purposes the species should be noted as A. aequorea as noted by Osamu Shimomura who is widely credited with discovering GFP. He notes in Green Fluorescent Protein: Properties, Applications, and Protocols, Second Edition Ch 1 that they are in his opinion the same species. Furthermore he says that A. forskalea is also the same species. --Budlight 02:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Sciencetalks (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 02:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Given that it has already been made clear earlier in the article that a number of GFP-expressing organisms have been produced, the entire content of the notes section of this article serves no purpose other than to draw attention to the work of one group of researchers. Perhaps this should also be considered to be spam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.173.32 (talk) 23:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

My Personal Attempt to Spam WP
My dilemma is my conflict of interest in being involved with the company referenced, but as the information seems relevant I'll take the liberty to boldly edit. I'm adding a comment in the "GFP in fine art" section to mention that my company produces a GFP fine art piece. Let me know if you think this is appropriate. At some point I hope to get a photograph of one of our GFP crystals in the page to demonstrate what sub-surface laser engraved fine art looks like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.249.110.34 (talk) 03:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

References to add
Here is some references for the new section on GFP in Nature. I don't have time to fiddle with the formatting right now, if someone wants to insert them in the appropriate manner, it'd be much appreciated.

The serine 65 residue of the GFP chromophore is responsible for the dual peaked excitation spectra of wild type GFP. It is conserved in all three GFP isoforms originally cloned by Prasher. ^ Prasher D, Eckenrode V, Ward W, Prendergast F, Cormier M (1992). "Primary structure of the Aequorea victoria green-fluorescent protein". Gene 111 (2): 229–33. doi:10.1016/0378-1119(92)90691-H. .

Nearly all mutations of this residue consolidate the excitation spectra to a single peak at either 395nm or 480nm. Since a single mutation can make dramatically enhance the 480nm excitation peak,

Patent holding on GFP derivatives
Can someone include which GFP derivatives are subjected to patent rights? Is there any kind of protection on the green and blue naturally occurring GFPs? Is the recombinant GFP (but still with the original amino acidic sequence) expressed in bacterial systems a registered invention?

I think that the GFP model could be a relatively simple and highly informative reference to help understand how far patent rights can reach and be applied to products derived from natural sources. Heathmoor (talk) 17:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

ultraviolet blue light
forgive my ignorance, but what the hell is "ultraviolet blue light"? it's in the article's first sentence, and the link to the UV page doesn't mention it, and I don't understand how something uv-coloured can be blue-coloured at the same time. 174.6.72.195 (talk) 22:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The article originally stated "blue light" and was changed in this edit to "ultraviolet blue light". I think what is meant here is "blue, violet, or ultraviolet light".  In other words, light with a wavelength less than 475 nm.  I am not sure best how to phrase this, "blue, violet, or ultraviolet light" is a bit awkward. Thoughts? Boghog (talk) 22:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * hmm. "when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet spectrum"? "when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet range"? 174.6.72.195 (talk) 01:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Useful review
Here's a review I found that has a whole lot of useful info. (available for free on PMC too) I don't have the time to go through it in detail and make use of it but I felt it will be a good resource for those interested in florescent proteins so that they can improve this and other articles.

Suggestion for Dynamics seciton
As discussed below in the Applications section, GFP can be inserted onto many genes and used to track large scale domain motions and time dependent co-localizations in proteins by means of FRET.

Ease of expression has also enabled GFP to act as a prototype for studies of protein and hydration water dynamics using neutron scattering This technique focuses on motions faster than ~1 nanosecond, and by expressing the protein in a perdeuterated state one can isolate the motions of hydration water from those of the protein. In fact, it is from the coherent scattering from perdeuterated GFP that has shown collective motions of adjacent chains in the beta barrel at ~1 THz. These motions are thought to be sensitive to local rigidity within proteins, revealing beta structures to be generically more rigid than alpha or disordered proteins.

Re-write
I've started to improve the writing on this article a bit. I've gotten rid of the worst bits (factually and stylistically) for now, intending to do the rest asap. Large sections, particularly in the fluorescence microscopy section, drone on an on without real structure, with very poorly written and confusing sentences. A high-importance article should be a lot better than this. Watch this space. Fgf10 (talk) 18:09, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Other organisms express GFP
GFP is no longer considered unique to A. victoria. It turns out that other animals produce GFP, so I've provided the article with new material to reflect this. There may more GFP producers besides copepods and lancelets, so feel free to do more research and add on to the In nature section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Systematicist (talk • contribs) 17:44, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Basic numerical parameters !!!!
Am I hallucinating, or does the article as it currently stands not include basic information like approximate MW - just a ball-park figure: is GFP big or small, as proteins go? Approximately how many amino acids? How long is the gene, and does it contain non-coding regions, and will it work without them? Answers should refer to the protein as it occurs in nature, and, to the smallest available modified variants. This information is more important than structural details and probably more important than quantum yields and secondary emission peaks. It ought to be in the first or second paragraph. The reader should be able to click open the article and know the rough MW range ten seconds later without expending any effort at all.

Nodar Khashba

Nodar Vladimirovich Khashba (Нодар Хашба, ნოდარ ხაშბა; born 1 October 1951) is a former prime minister of Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia and a former mayor of Sukhumi.

Khashba was mayor of Sukhumi from 1993 until 1995. Afterwards he became a senior official in Russia's emergencies ministry. In April 2004 he emerged as one of the leaders of a new political movement named United Abkhazia (Yedinaya Abkhazia, reminiscent of the Russian pro-Kremlin party Yedinaya Rossiya). He was not eligible to run in the October 2004 presidential election in Abkhazia because of a requirement that candidates must have been resident in Abkhazia for five years. Shortly after the election, amid confusion surrounding its outcome, the outgoing president, Vladislav Ardzinba, appointed Khashba prime minister.

On 14 November, Prime Minister Nodar Khashba, named by the relatives of human rights activist Tamara Shakryl as responsible for her death and threatened by them, had to spend the night at Russia's Peacemaking Headquarters in Sukhumi. Tensions continued to mount as the day for Bagapsh's inaugural ceremony came. In early December 2004, however, Bagapsh came to an agreement with Khadjimba under which they would run in new elections under a national unity ticket, with Bagapsh as presidential candidate and Khadjimba as vice-presidential candidate. The ticket won the elections with over 90% of the vote, and the new administration took office on 12 February 2005.

Deseret News

The Deseret News is a multi-platform newspaper based in Salt Lake City, published by Deseret News Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Founded in 1850, it was the first newspaper to be published in Utah. The publication's name is from the geographic area of Deseret identified by Utah's pioneer settlers, and much of the publication's reporting is rooted in that region.

On January 1, 2021, the newspaper switched from a daily to a weekly print format while continuing to publish daily on the website and Deseret News app. As of 2024, Deseret News develops daily content for its website and apps, in addition to twice weekly print editions of the Deseret News Local Edition and a weekly edition of the Church News and Deseret News National Edition. The company also publishes 10 editions of Deseret Magazine per year.

The press
On March 31, 1847, while at Winter Quarters, Nebraska, the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles authorized William W. Phelps to "go east and procure a printing press" to be taken to the future Mormon settlement in the Great Basin. Phelps left Winter Quarters sometime in May, and went to Boston by way of the former Mormon settlement of Nauvoo, Illinois. In Boston, with the help of William I. Appleby, the president of the Church's Eastern States Mission, and Church member Alexander Badlam, Phelps was able to procure a wrought iron Ramage hand-press, type, and other required equipment. He returned to Winter Quarters on November 12, 1847, with the press. Due partly to its size and weight, the press and equipment would not be taken to Salt Lake City until 1849. By that time many of the Mormon pioneers had left Winter Quarters and the press was moved across the Missouri River to another temporary Mormon settlement, Kanesville, Iowa. In April 1849 the press and other church property was loaded onto ox drawn wagons, and traveled with the Howard Egan Company along the Mormon Trail. The wagon company, with the press, arrived in the Salt Lake Valley August 7, 1849.

The press was moved into a small adobe building (just east of the present site of the Hotel Utah) that also served as a coin mint for the settlers. The press was at first used to print the necessary documents (such as laws, records, and forms) used in setting up the provisional State of Deseret.

First issue
The first issue of the Deseret News was published June 15, 1850, and was eight pages long. This first issue included the paper's prospectus, written by the editor Willard Richards, along with news from the United States Congress, and a report on the San Francisco 1849 Christmas Eve fire; an event which had occurred six months prior. Because it was meant to be the voice of the State of Deseret, it was called the Deseret News, and its motto was "Truth and Liberty". It was at first a weekly Saturday publication, and published in "pamphlet form" in hopes that readers would have the papers bound into volumes. Subscription rate was $2.50 for six months.

A jobs press, usually called the Deseret News Press, was also set up so the News could print books, booklets, handbills, broadsides, etc., for paying customers and other publishers.

Paper
From the beginning, paper shortages were a problem for the News staff. Starting with the October 19, 1850, issue—only four months after publication began—the paper had to be changed to a bi-weekly publication. Even so, many times in the 1850s there were several periods when the News could not be published for lack of paper; one period lasted three months during the fall of 1851.

Thomas Howard, a Mormon immigrant from England, and a paper-maker, approached Brigham Young about using some machinery—originally meant for producing sugar—to make their own paper; Young agreed to the plan. The publishers asked everyone to donate old paper and cloth to the venture. In the summer of 1854 the first issues of the News were published on "homemade paper" that was very thick, and grayish in color.

Even with paper shortages, occasionally a News extra would be published, if there were important news or a sermon that could not wait for the regular publication date.

Utah War
During a turbulent time period, later known as the Utah War, the News presses and equipment were moved to the central and southern parts of the state. As armed forces of the United States camped just outside the state at Fort Bridger, George Q. Cannon was assigned to take some presses and equipment to Fillmore while Henry McEwan was to take the remainder to Parowan. On May 5, 1858, the first issue of the News with Fillmore City as the publication place appeared; issues would continue to be printed in both Fillmore and Parowan until September 1858 While in Fillmore, the press was kept in the basement of the Utah Territorial Statehouse. That fall the presses were brought back to Salt Lake City and placed in the Council House, allowing the News to begin normal operations. The soldiers who had marched to Utah during the war would remain at the newly constructed Camp Floyd. Their need for a newspaper, one not published by the LDS Church, was satisfied with Kirk Anderson's Valley Tan, the area's second newspaper (and first competitor to the News); published November 6, 1858.

During the 1850s through 1860s, numerous articles in the News were printed in the Deseret Alphabet.

Challenges and changes
The coming of the Pony Express to Utah in 1860 would bring changes to the paper, allowing news from the East to arrive in the Territory much faster. Even so, the paper remained a weekly, with News extras being published with more frequency and temporary renamed The Pony Dispatch.

Yet, paper problems still plagued the publishers; paper was very expensive to haul from California or the East, and attempts at making paper in the valley were still, for the most part, futile. In 1860 a paper-making machine had been purchased, and set-up in the Deseret Manufacturing Company sugar house factory, but lack of available materials meant a lack of paper. As a result, Brigham Young called George Goddard on a rag-gathering mission. Goddard traveled through the territory collecting rags that would then be turned into paper, and was able to supply enough to keep the News in production. Other problems such as ice and drought on the stream, running out of Parley's Canyon, that ran the paper mill caused the paper to have short lapses in publication.

In October 1861 the lines of the First Transcontinental Telegraph met in Salt Lake City, making the Pony Express obsolete, and bringing news to the Territory almost instantly. The News extras, now sometimes called telegraphic dispatches, were printed with even more frequency.

In March 1862, the News and its staff moved from the Council House to the Deseret Store, and in 1864 a steam-powered printing press arrived; it was placed in the basement the building. The set type was lowered from the offices in the building's upper floor to the basement, through holes in each floor. Later an addition was constructed to the east of this building, and the presses were moved into that building.

On October 8, 1865, the News launched its semi-weekly edition, this allowed news to get out more quickly and allowed for more advertisements. The weekly edition would continue and contained much of the same content as the semi-weekly, but editorials were different.

In November 1867, George Q. Cannon became the editor, and on the 21st of that month, the News published its first daily edition, which was printed in the evening, and as such was named The Deseret Evening News. Most of what was published in the daily edition, was also published in the weekly and semi-weekly, as the daily was meant for city readers and the weekly and semi-weekly for those living in the more rural areas of the territory. Until December 1898 all three editions—the weekly, semi-weekly, and daily—were published concurrently.

In 1870, the Mormon Tribune, later named The Salt Lake Tribune, was first printed, adding a new newspaper rival to the Salt Lake area. Since its founding the Tribune and News have often been involved in "newspaper battles", times when they could not agree on anything, even secular items. During these battles the News has often been called grandmother, granny, or The Mormon Hand Organ.

Since its first publication, the News had been owned directly by the LDS Church, but as worries about property confiscation increased due to the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act and Poland Act, the paper's ownership was transferred to The Deseret News Company following incorporation on September 3, 1880. About this same time the News began looking for a location to build a new paper mill, as the Sugar House paper plant was inadequate. A new granite plant was constructed near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, 13 miles south of the paper's offices. The mill began producing paper in April 1883, and was known as the Cottonwood Paper Mill. The News would sell the paper mill in 1892 to the Granite Paper Mills Company. The mill caught fire and was destroyed April 1, 1893.

Changing ownership
On October 1, 1892, The Deseret News Company leased the News along with all the company's printing, bookbinding, and merchandising to the Cannon family. The family was, at that time, operating the George Q. Cannon & Sons bookstore in downtown Salt Lake City. When the lease began the family formed the Deseret News Printing Company, which was to be the lessee, while The Deseret News Company would remain a legal entity as the lessor. Two children of former News editor George Q. Cannon would play prominent roles during this period, with John Q. Cannon as editor and Abraham H. Cannon as business manager. The leasing had occurred due to financial troubles, and the Cannon family hoped to make the business profitable. This did not happen and the paper's assets and property were transferred back to The Deseret News Company on September 7, 1898; after almost six years under the control of the Cannon family. The family's Deseret News Publishing Company was dissolved after the lease was gone, and within a few months The Deseret News Company was also dissolved and ownership of the paper was returned directly to the LDS Church.

When the LDS Church regained direct control over the News, Horace G. Whitney was appointed business manager and Charles W. Penrose returned as editor. Immediately the paper's weekly edition, The Deseret Weekly, was discontinued; its last issue was published December 10, 1898.

1900s
On October 1, 1900, the George Q. Cannon & Sons bookstore was sold to the LDS Church, and renamed the Deseret News Bookstore. In 1920 the Deseret Sunday School Union Bookstore was also consolidated into the Deseret News Bookstore, and eventually the bookstore would become its own company, Deseret Book.

In 1903 the News moved out from its longtime home in the Deseret Store, kitty-corner to a newly constructed building. This was the first time the paper had a building constructed expressly for it. It was designed by Richard K.A. Kletting and built with stone from Mount Nebo in Central Utah. While the building was under construction, a fire destroyed the Oregon Short Line building in Salt Lake City, and the railroad wanted to rent space in the new building. As a result, the News constructed an annex to the west of the new building for more space. This new home was at the site of the former Council House; presently the Beneficial Tower (Gateway Tower West) sits at this location.

The daily, called the Deseret Evening News, was renamed to the Deseret News on June 15, 1920; the paper's 70th anniversary. The semi-weekly was discontinued on June 22, 1922, leaving the daily as the only news publication. Two days later the News announced it had purchased the Utah Farmer, a weekly agricultural paper; which it would eventually sell.

In 1926 the News once again moved into a new building, this time on Richard's Street (just south of the present Deseret Book store in City Creek Center.) This same year, the News began using teletype technology to receive news from the Associated Press.

During the 1920s the paper's circulation nearly doubled, reaching almost 40,000.

Radio
On November 20, 1920, the News began airing nightly wireless news flashes, called the Deseret News-International News Service bulletins. The paper had also formed The Deseret News Wireless Club, with members across the Western United States who would transcribe the radio bulletins and post them in their communities. In April 1922 the paper received a license to officially operate a radio station, with call letters KZN (later changed to KSL). The station's first regular broadcast aired on May 6, 1922, in the form of a talk by then-LDS Church president Heber J. Grant. In 1924 the station was sold to John Cope and his father, F.W. Cope, who formed the Radio Service Corporation of Utah. The LDS Church would later purchase this corporation and go on to create KSL-TV. The News, KSL Radio, and KSL Television remain closely linked via the global operating company, Deseret Management Corporation, which also owns Bonneville International, Deseret Book Company, and Deseret Media Company, among other organizations.

The Deseret News Publishing Company
The Deseret News had been under the direct ownership of the Church since 1898, when The Deseret News Company was dissolved. On December 29, 1931, the Deseret News Publishing Company was incorporated (not to be confused with the Deseret News Publishing Company formed in 1892 by the Cannon family to lease ownership of the paper, and dissolved when the lease was over). Its articles of incorporation, filed with the Salt Lake County Clerk, provided for 500 shares of stock, all retained by the Church (with the exception of the qualifying directors' shares).

First Sunday edition
On May 16, 1948, the Deseret News would deliver its first Sunday paper. The first Sunday edition contained 154 pages with a new farm, home, and garden section. The Sunday edition would continue into the 1950s, when an agreement with The Salt Lake Tribune would cease publication.

Newspaper Agency Corporation
After World War II the Deseret News, The Salt Lake Tribune and the Salt Lake Telegram were all struggling financially, but no more than the Deseret News. In September 1952, the owners of the News (LDS Church) and Tribune (Thomas Kearns Family) entered into a joint operating agreement (JOA), where each published separate editorial material while sharing printing, advertising and circulation costs. This JOA was the brainchild of Tribune Publisher John F. Fitzpatrick who helped LDS President David O. McKay ensure the continuation of the Deseret News. As its architect, Fitzpatrick knew that this NAC arrangement would also benefit the Tribune. The Deseret News stopped Sunday publication; subscribers received a Sunday Tribune instead. The Deseret News also purchased the afternoon Salt Lake Telegram from the Tribune. The Telegram was discontinued, and into the mid-1960s, the paper's nameplate read: The Deseret News and Salt Lake Telegram. The 30-year agreement between the two papers was renewed in 1982, with some changes. The Newspaper Agency Corporation was renamed to MediaOne of Utah in 2007.

In 1968 the Deseret News once again moved, this time into a new building on Regent Street.

Sunday morning edition
The joint operating agreement with the Tribune in 1952 had ended the paper's Sunday edition, but when the 30-year-old agreement was up for renewal, it was changed to allow the Deseret News to publish a Sunday morning edition and change its Saturday publication from an evening to morning paper. The first Sunday morning edition of the Deseret News appeared January 16, 1983, and the paper has published a Sunday edition ever since.

Regent Street headquarters
The newspaper moved into its newly constructed headquarters on Regent Street downtown Salt Lake City in 1997.

Competition with The Salt Lake Tribune
As the twentieth century ended, the Deseret News found itself embroiled in a contentious and often public battle with The Salt Lake Tribune, centered around the terms of their joint operating agreement, the desire of the Deseret News to switch from afternoon to morning publication, and ownership changes at the Tribune. The battle was resolved with the 2000 sale of the Tribune and with the Deseret News switching to morning publication and changing its name on June 9, 2003, to the Deseret Morning News.

1990s
On January 26, 1995, the Deseret News launched the Crossroads Information Network, allowing subscribers to access the News digitally through their dial-up service; digital-only subscriptions were also created. Installation of the Crossroads software—which was mailed on floppy disk to each subscriber beginning in February 1995—was required on each user's computer. The network also allowed users to access the paper's complete text along with archives back to April 1988, the Church News and the LDS Church Almanac. The software allowed subscribers to communicate with each other through an email-like system. Eventually the Crossroads Information Network was shut down and its features were moved to DesNews.com, which itself was replaced with DeseretNews.com.

The paper's first website, DesNews.com, was launched on September 27, 1995. This allowed News content to be accessed through an internet website, rather than the software required by Crossroads. The website was meant for those outside the Salt Lake area, who had to pay long-distance calling charges when dialed into the Crossroads network.

2000s
On April 13, 2008, Joseph A. Cannon announced in a front page editor's note that the name of the newspaper had been changed back to the Deseret News, although the News would continue to be published in the morning.

2010s
In 2010, the Deseret News moved its offices out of the Deseret News Building to the broadcast house in the Triad Center, so they could integrate with KSL's newsroom.

In November 2016, Doug Wilks became the editor of the Deseret News.

In October 2016, breaking an 80-year tradition of staying out of U.S. presidential politics, the Deseret News editorial board urged its readers not to vote for Donald Trump.

2020s
In October 2020, the Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune announced the dissolution of their decades-long Joint Operating Agreement to share printing facilities. With the end of the agreement, both publications were free to contract printing needs with third parties and chart their futures independent of each other. After the dissolution became apparent, the Deseret News made the decision to end its daily print edition beginning January 1, 2021 (after just over 153 years of daily publication). The daily print edition was replaced with a new weekly local edition and the company would continue to print the weekly national edition, Church News, and introduce the Deseret Magazine. Starting March 23, 2022, the Deseret News began publication of the semiweekly local edition, bringing print publication of their local edition to twice weekly.

In December 2020, the Deseret News editorial board again broke political neutrality by denouncing Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes's decision to support a lawsuit requesting that the US Supreme Court withhold the certified vote count from four states following the 2020 presidential election.

In 2021, Utah's Senator Mike Lee demanded a retraction after a statement attributed to him (regarding a phone call held during the January 6 United States Capitol attack), and published in the Deseret News on January 7, 2021, was brought up during the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump.

Deseret News website and app
The paper's first website, DesNews.com, was launched on September 27, 1995. The domain was later changed to DeseretNews.com, and changed again in August 2019 to Deseret.com.

The Deseret News launched native iOS apps in December 2011. An Android version of the app was later released for the Google Play Store.

Deseret News Local Edition
The Deseret News Local Edition is published twice weekly.

Deseret News National Edition
The Deseret News National Edition is a national weekly print paper concentrating its reporting and feature articles on areas including family, faith, education, and other values core to the LDS faith. It is available for delivery throughout the United States.

Church News
The Deseret News also publishes a weekly compact-sized insert, the Church News. The Church News includes news of the LDS Church and has been published since 1931. From 1974 to 2013, the Deseret News also published the Church Almanac, an annual edition carrying LDS Church facts and statistics edited by Church News staff.

Deseret Magazine
The Deseret News launched its monthly magazine in 2021, which publishes ten times a year with a double issue in July/August and January/February. The magazine covers the people and culture of the Deseret region (from the Sierras to the Rockies, from the border of Mexico to the Pacific Northwest) and its intersection with the broader world. It includes essays on politics, culture, and faith from local and national thought leaders as well as other narratives and profiles.

Coverage of faith
In addition to coverage of Utah and the broader region, the Deseret News also publishes content under its "Faith" section that features stories related to religion, churches and places of worship, and topics that intersect with faith such as Supreme Court rulings and religious education. These topics cover the breadth of beliefs across the United States, including but not limited to the LDS Church. Previously, content under the "Faith" section included only news unrelated to the LDS Church, with news related to the LDS Church covered by Mormon Times.

Mormon Times
Mormon Times was created as a publication with its own independent circulation base and also as the Religion section of the Deseret News in January 2008. In July 2011, the Deseret News's religion section was renamed "Faith", with the Mormon Times label applying only to its LDS-themed content. Since then, the Mormon Times name has been retired with all content related to religion of all faiths publishing under the "Faith" section of the Deseret News.

On October 3, 2010, following the success of the Mormon Times in print and online, a TV series premiered summarizing stories from the print version of the Mormon Times, along with interviews, hosted by Michelle King. The show has since been retired.

In the 1972–1986 period when Smart was the editor, Gordon B. Hinckley and Thomas S. Monson were among the presidents of the Deseret News Publishing Company.

2010 restructuring
Summer 2010 saw multiple changes both in leadership and structure at the Deseret News. A new Opinion Editor, Paul S. Edwards, was appointed. Edwards had previously been provost at Southern Virginia University and earlier a political science professor at Brigham Young University (BYU). Editor Joe Cannon and publisher Jim Wall stepped down.

During the summer of 2010 it was announced that the Deseret News for the first time ever would have a president and CEO; Clark Gilbert was appointed to this position. He was already CEO of Deseret Digital Media. Gilbert announced the future of Deseret News was leaner, and more online. In August 2010 he announced the layoffs of 85 staffers, 57 full-time and 28 part-time. It resulted in a reduction of 43% of the paper's entire staff.

The Deseret News also created an editorial advisory board to work with Gilbert and Edwards; it consisted of people with a broad variety of backgrounds:
 * Joseph Cannon, who had up until that time been the Deseret News editor.
 * Pamela Atkinson, a Presbyterian philanthropist based in Salt Lake City
 * Clayton M. Christensen, a professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School.
 * Sheri L. Dew, LDS author and president/CEO of Deseret Book, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dianne Cunningham

Dianne Esther Cunningham (born December 5, 1939) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. She was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1988 to 2003, and a cabinet minister in the governments of Mike Harris and Ernie Eves.

Background
Cunningham worked as an elementary school teacher in private life, and entered politics by winning a seat on the London, Ontario school board in 1973. She retained that position for fifteen years, and also served as a Planning Officer for the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services.

Politics
Cunningham was elected to the Ontario legislature for the riding of London North in a 1988 by-election. The riding had previously been Liberal, and bordered on the seat belonging to Liberal Premier David Peterson; Cunningham's victory made her a rising star in the small Tory caucus. She ran for the leadership of the then third-place Conservatives in 1990, losing to Mike Harris in the party's first one member, one vote election for leader. She was considered a Red Tory, but was hurt by comparisons to Brian Mulroney, Canada's unpopular Progressive Conservative Prime Minister. Her loss to Harris led to a major shift in the political orientation of the party.

Cunningham was re-elected in the 1990 provincial election, which was won by the New Democratic Party. During the next five years, the Tories developed a series of right-wing policy initiatives which became known as the "Common Sense Revolution". Cunningham was not a major contributor to this process. She did, however, serve as her party's Deputy Leader and Caucus Whip from 1990 to 1995.

She was easily re-elected in the 1995 provincial election, which the Tories won. While not in the Harris government's inner circle, she was appointed to cabinet in the minor portfolios of Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister responsible for Women's Issues. She retained these positions throughout the Harris government's first term. In 1998, she supported Hugh Segal for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

In the provincial election of 1999, Cunningham narrowly defeated New Democratic Party Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Marion Boyd in the redistributed riding of London North Centre (the Harris government had previously reduced the number of provincial ridings from 130 to 103, forcing many MPPs to run against one another). Following the election, she was promoted to Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, and retained that portfolio for the next four years. She was also re-appointed as Minister responsible for Women's Issues on February 8, 2001. In 2002, she supported Ernie Eves to replace Mike Harris as party leader.

Cunningham was often criticized for the way her department managed the elimination of OAC levels from Ontario's high-school system. The decision reduced the standard high-school honours degree program from five years to four, and resulted in a "double cohort" of new university students when the policy first came into effect. University entrance marks were raised to what some considered high levels; for example, the University of Western Ontario raised their entrance cutoff to an 80% average. Because of this, many students were unable to attend the university of their choice, and poor departmental planning was frequently blamed.

She ran for re-election in the 2003 election, but lost to Deb Matthews by over 6,000 votes in the landslide victory that brought the Ontario Liberal Party to power.

Later life
After the election, she was appointed Director of the Lawrence National Centre for Policy and Management.

Wendy Yoshimura

Wendy Masako Yoshimura (born January 17, 1943) is an American still life watercolor painter. She was a member of the leftist terrorist group the Symbionese Liberation Army during the mid-1970s. She was born in Manzanar, one of numerous World War II-era internment camps for Japanese Americans who were forced out of their homes and businesses along the West Coast. She was raised both in Japan and California's Central Valley.

During her last year of art college, she encountered and became involved in radical politics as a result of meeting activist Willie Brandt. He founded the Revolutionary Army, another violent leftist organization, in Berkeley, California.

Early life
Yoshimura was born at the Manzanar Internment Camp for Japanese Americans where her American-born parents were incarcerated. All the family were American citizens by birth. After the war, the Yoshimura family moved to Etajima, a small island off the coast of Hiroshima. Her father worked for the Allied Occupation forces. Yoshimura spoke Japanese as her first language.

The family returned to the US when Yoshimura was 13 years old. Because she did not speak English, Yoshimura was initially placed in the second grade in the Fresno, California school system. She learned English rapidly and later graduated in 1969 from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts).

Revolutionary Army
Yoshimura became associated with the Revolutionary Army, a group founded by her boyfriend, Willie Brandt. He used the title in public statements claiming responsibility for violent actions intended to express opposition to the Vietnam War. In 1972, police discovered a weapons and explosives cache in a Berkeley garage which Yoshimura had rented and described it as a "massive bomb factory." They also found letters taking credit for planned future bombings targeting the University of California, Berkeley campus, including the Naval Architecture building. Notes described a specific plan to kidnap or assassinate World Bank President and former defense secretary Robert McNamara at his winter residence in Aspen, Colorado. Brandt and two others were arrested in Berkeley on March 31, 1972, and subsequently convicted.

Yoshimura evaded a police dragnet and fled California. She lived under an alias in New Jersey until 1974. In 1977, she was captured and convicted of unlawful possession of explosives, of a machine gun, and of substances and materials with the intent to make destructive devices and explosives. She was sentenced to a one-to-fifteen years in prison. She was released on parole in September 1980.

Symbionese Liberation Army
Also in 1974, married couple Bill and Emily Harris, with kidnapping victim-turned fugitive Patty Hearst, relocated to rural Pennsylvania. The Harrises were surviving founding members of the Berkeley terrorist group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army. Six of their members had died in a May 1974 shootout with Los Angeles police at a house in Los Angeles. Sports writer and political activist Jack Scott had helped the high-profile fugitives make their way east. He arranged for Yoshimura to join them and handle shopping and other public transactions.

After two months with the group, Yoshimura left and returned alone to California, taking up residence in San Francisco. Hearst and the Harrises found their own way back into the state and regrouped in Sacramento. When the FBI found Yoshimura's thumbprint in the SLA's rural hideout, newspaper headlines tied her to the group. She fled San Francisco and reunited with the SLA members in Sacramento.

While in Sacramento with associates from the San Francisco Bay Area, some of the fugitives planned and carried out an armed robbery of Crocker National Bank in Carmichael, California. Bank customer Myrna Opsahl was shot and killed. Hearst's account in Every Secret Thing states that she and Yoshimura opposed the action and were assigned to "switch cars" far from the scene. After the robbery, the group abandoned Sacramento and fled individually to San Francisco.

Arrest and conviction

On September 18, 1975, Yoshimura was arrested with Hearst in a second-floor apartment at 625 Morse Street by FBI Special Agent Tom Padden and San Francisco Police Department Inspector Tim Casey. Padden and Casey failed to read Hearst and Yoshimura their Miranda rights and did not obtain a search warrant until twenty-six hours later. Weapons evidence, including a handgun in Yoshimura's purse and a shotgun in the bedroom, was suppressed because of this oversight.

During Yoshimura's trial, Japanese Americans who empathized with her family's experience during World War II gave $150,000 to aid her legal defense conducted by the Asian Law Caucus, and led by Garrick Lew. They did this through the Wendy Yoshimura Fair Trial Committee.

Ultimately, Yoshimura was convicted on explosives and weapons charges and sent to state prison for six months; she was paroled in 1980.

Grand jury investigation
In 1991 Yoshimura was granted limited immunity to testify during a grand jury investigation into the 1975 armed bank robbery by the SLA in Carmichael, California in which Myrna Opsahl, 42-year-old mother of four, was killed. One SLA member, Michael Bortin, had pleaded guilty to the robbery. No indictments resulted at the time.

In 2002 five former SLA members and associates were arrested, and four of them pleaded guilty to charges related to the homicide.

Present day
Yoshimura is an artist and resides in north Oakland, California. She teaches water color painting at her studio and at a San Francisco community center. Her still-life watercolors are often displayed in the Bay Area.

In media

 * American Woman (2003) by Susan Choi is a novel related to Yoshimura's life during that period of involvement with Hearst and the SLA. Characters are given other names and circumstances changed. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
 * It was adapted as a 2019 film by the same name, written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Semi Chellas. Hong Chau plays the activist Jenny.
 * Wendy... Uh... What's Her Name is a 2006 documentary by Curtis Choy.

Packwood Lake

Packwood Lake is a freshwater lake in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Washington. It is located near the town of Packwood and is a popular day hiking and overnight camping area. The southern half of the lake lies within the Goat Rocks Wilderness area.

The lake was named after William Packwood, an early settler.

Geology
Packwood Lake lies at approximately 2857 ft above sea level and about 25 mi southeast of Mount Rainier. Its main source of water is glacier-fed Upper and Lower Lake Creeks, which descend from Old Snowy Mountain. The lake is approximately 2 mi long and 0.6 mi wide.

The lake is held in place by a natural dam. Approximately 1,200 years ago, Snyder Mountain, which borders the lake to the northwest, broke and slid down into the (then) Lake Creek valley, effectively plugging it and forming the lake. Maximum depth is approximately 160 ft. The island in the lake is officially named Agnes Island, and also referred to by locals as both Wizard Island or Enchantment Island. The island is protected by the U.S. Forest Service and no landings are permitted there.

Biology
Packwood Lake is home to a genetically distinct species of rainbow trout. This trout has evolved for over a thousand years, separated from other populations of fish. It is known for its excellent taste, large size, and drab creamy coloring. Due to many years of stocking, however, the fish is becoming less and less prominent as its gene pool becomes diluted by stocked fish.

Also calling this lake home are several species of birds, including heron, bald eagle, and wood duck. Black bears are also fairly common, as are deer, elk, raccoon, cougar, and (in the higher elevations above the lake) mountain goats.

History
Packwood Lake has been used for several thousand years by Native Americans as summer quarters and hunting territory. Due to extremely cold winters and subsequent heavy snows, the area is considered largely uninhabitable during the winter.

Prospectors thoroughly searched the area of the lake in the early 1920s. Although some gold and silver was found, the small quantities and remoteness of the area proved mining to be not economical.

Packwood Dam
Packwood Lake was dammed in 1964 to produce electricity. There is a small 27-megawatt dam at the foot of the lake which has taken over the job of holding back the lake from the Snyder Mountain landslide. Great care was used when designing and building the dam so as not to affect the abundant wildlife that calls the lake and surrounding area home. The actual dam structure is only a couple of feet tall, creating only a small holding pond which feeds the penstock.

Water from Packwood Lake is also piped to the town of Packwood and supplies the greater Packwood area.

Recreation
Packwood lake is a popular hiking destination for both day hikers and campers. The trail leading to the lake, Packwood Lake Trail #78, is also a popular entrance to the Goat Rocks Wilderness and surrounding area. The lake is also used as a stopping ground for travellers headed to Mosquito and Lost Lakes to the north, and Gilbert Peak to the southeast.

An all-terrain vehicle trail (the 'low trail') was completed some years ago and offers ATV and horse access to the lake. The 'upper trail' is reserved for hikers and horses. Both trails, upper and lower, are approximately 5 miles (8 km) to the lake from a well-maintained and paved parking lot. Continuing past the lake, hikers are offered hundreds of miles of trails covering breathtaking scenery, and the Pacific Crest Trail may be reached about 7 miles (11.3 km) beyond the lake.

The lake itself is a very popular fishing hole and may be fished from shore or paddle boat (motors are prohibited). Additionally, fishing with a two-pole endorsement is not allowed.

Huckster

A huckster is anyone who sells something or serves biased interests, using pushy or showy tactics. Historically, it meant any type of peddler or vendor, but over time it has assumed pejorative connotations.

Etymology
The original meaning of huckster is a person who sells small articles, either door-to-door or from a stall or small store, like a peddler or hawker. The term probably derives from the Middle English hucc, meaning "to haggle". The word was in use circa 1200 as "huccsteress". During the medieval period, the word assumed the feminine word ending "ster" as in huckster, reflecting the fact that most hucksters were women. The word assumed various spellings at different times: hukkerye, hukrie, hockerye, huckerstrye or hoxterye. The word was still in use in England in the 1840s, when it appeared as a black-market occupation. It is related to the Middle Dutch hokester, hoekster, and the Middle Low German höker, but appears earlier than any of these. In the United States, a connotation of trickery developed – the huckster might trick others into buying cheap imitation products as if they were the real thing.

Other meanings

The term "huckster" was used in different ways across Europe and later ended up taking on different meanings at different times.

In Scotland
In Scotland, the term "huckster" referred to a person, usually a woman, who bought goods, watered them down, and resold them in tiny quantity to others who were too poor to buy quality products available at market value. These items tended to be in the poorer quality range, since economy was paramount. Scots burghs often felt the need to control hucksters because they operated without a stall, on the economic fringes. In particular, they were subject to accusations of forestalling, in this case, the practice of buying goods wholesale, "before the stall" and therefore before tax was paid.

In England and Europe
In England and Europe during the medieval period, the term "huckster" was synonymous with "peddler." Hucksters and peddlers belonged to a broad group of resellers who purchased surplus stocks from weekly provincial markets and fairs and then resold them at larger daily markets or engaged in door-to-door selling.

As time passed, the distinction between hucksters and peddlers became more pronounced. During the medieval period, the term "huckster" came to refer to market-based food vendors, while peddlers referred to itinerant vendors of a wide range of merchandise. Hucksters were often women who dealt in low-priced goods such as meat, poultry, dairy, bread and baked goods, including pies and pastries. They sourced raw materials from their own holdings or purchased goods from other sellers and carried their products to the market place in baskets or on their heads. These women either lived in the market town or travelled into the market place from the surrounding area. Hucksters were at the bottom of the market hierarchy, both in terms of wealth and status, since they made only small returns.

Luca Clerici has made a detailed analysis of Vicenza’s food market during the sixteenth century. He found that there were many different types of reseller operating out of the markets. For example, in the dairy trade, cheese and butter was sold by the members of two craft guilds (i.e., cheesemongers who were shopkeepers) and that of the so-called "resellers" (hucksters selling a wide range of foodstuffs), and by other sellers who were not enrolled in any guild. Cheesemongers’ shops were situated at the town hall and were very lucrative. Resellers and peddlers increased the number of sellers, thus increasing competition, to the benefit of consumers. Direct sellers, who brought produce from the surrounding countryside, sold their wares through the central market place and priced their goods at considerably lower rates than cheesemongers.

In 20th-century Philadelphia

In Philadelphia, in the early 1900's, hucksters were seen as primarily men who came around with carts, horse or hand-drawn, of fresh produce. They made their presence known by crying out loud what they had to offer. In earlier Philadelphia dialect, to say "like a huckster" meant to be too loud in one's speech.

In literature and popular culture
The story "The Goblin and the Grocer" by Hans Christian Andersen implies that human nature is attracted to a state of happiness as represented by poetry and to sensual pleasure as represented by jam and butter at Christmas. Although the story has been mistakenly called "The Goblin and the Huckster", it has nothing to do with that term (pejoratively). The Grocer, through his haggling and bargaining, is seen as industrious because he possesses the jam and butter (sensual pleasure), and the student is seen as poor but happy because he appreciates the beauty of poetry above all else. Meanwhile, the Grocer's talkative wife and the cask in which are stored old newspapers both have plenty of authoritative knowledge to share but are paid little attention compared to the primal desires of humankind, which constantly compete for (the goblin's) attention.

In the novel "The Black Stallion" by Walter Farley, the supporting character Tony is described as a huckster, in the sense that he works as a vegetable salesman in New York City's smaller streets, selling from a horse-drawn cart.

In science fiction fandom, the term "huckster" is used non-pejoratively to designate dealers in science fiction–related books, magazines and paraphernalia, particularly those who deal at science fiction conventions.

In the song "There Only Was One Choice" by Harry Chapin one line refers to huckster of belief.

In the 2022 song “Sweet Nothing” by Taylor Swift, she refers to “smooth-talking hucksters.”

JAL Express

JAL Express Co., Ltd. (JEX) (株式会社ジャル エクスプレス), was an airline with its headquarters at Tokyo International Airport and in Ota-ku, Tokyo, Japan, and its main hub at Tokyo International Airport. It also maintained offices in the Japan Airlines Building in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Its operations included scheduled and non-scheduled passenger services to eight regional destinations across Japan. It also served 15 additional destinations in Japan, and two in the People's Republic of China on behalf of Japan Airlines, under a wet-lease agreement.

JAL Express was a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan's flag carrier, Japan Airlines and an affiliate member of the Oneworld alliance. It was founded April 1, 1997, and began operations with a Boeing 737-400 on July 1, 1998. It celebrated its tenth anniversary and first flight in April 2007 and July 2008, respectively. It operated its first international flight in May 2009, and flew to Hangzhou and Shanghai. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, JAL Express, together with its sister airlines within the JAL Group, carried over 32 million passengers and over 1.1 million tons of cargo and mail.

The carrier ended operations on 30 September 2014 after being fully integrated with Japan Airlines.

History
JAL Express (JEX) was established on April 1, 1997 as a wholly owned domestic subsidiary airline of Japan Airlines (JAL), with initial capital of ¥5.8 million. It operated scheduled passenger services to regional domestic destinations in Japan, as well as some low-demand flights for JAL under wet-lease agreement. It was also considered for services on the domestic trunk and short-haul international routes. On July 1, 1998, JAL Express commenced operations from Osaka to Miyazaki and Kagoshima with two Boeing 737-400s, non-Japanese cockpit crew, and short-term contracted cabin attendants. The airline's cabin attendants, called Sky Cast, were responsible for cleaning the 150-seat cabin between flights.

The airline celebrated its one millionth passenger in June 2000 and commenced wet-lease operation for its parent JAL in December 2000. On 14 November 2002, JAL introduced a new aircraft livery design, "The Arc of the Sun", across the JAL Group fleet. A reception to celebrate the completion of the first aircraft with the new design was held at the JAS M2 hangar. In April 2005, the McDonnell Douglas MD-81 was introduced to the airline fleet, with an all Economy Class configuration with 163 seats. JAL Express became an affiliate member of Oneworld on April 1, 2007, together with four of its sister airlines, in the alliance's biggest expansion in its young history. On the same day, the airline celebrated its tenth anniversary of establishment.

JAL Express welcomed the arrival of the new Boeing 737-800 to its fleet in January 2008 and celebrated the tenth anniversary of its first flight in July 2008. It operated its first international flight in May 2009 under a wet-lease agreement with JAL.

On July 9, 2010, JAL Express pilot Ari Fuji became its first female airline flight captain.

As of March 27, 2011, all of JAL Express flights were being operated as JAL flights, until the full merger of the two carriers in September 2014.

Destinations
JAL Express operated to the following destinations:

Fleet
As of September 2013, JAL Express operated 42 narrow-body aircraft, with either two classes of service (class J and Economy class) or single class of service (Economy Class).

Maya & Miguel

Maya & Miguel is an American children's animated television series produced by Scholastic Productions with animation by Starburst Animation Studios and by Yeson Entertainment. It aired on PBS Kids Go! from October 11, 2004, to October 10, 2007, and had a total of five seasons and 65 episodes over three years. The show also ran on Univision's Saturday morning Planeta U block.

The series focuses on the lives of pre-teen Hispanic twins named Maya and Miguel Santos and their friends, the program is aimed at promoting multiculturalism and education. At various times throughout the episode, parts of the dialogue are in Spanish, but only individual words or phrases are then explained in English.

Synopsis
The show presents learning as fun, relevant and rewarding for all children, with a special emphasis on the Latino population. The show chronicles the adventures of two 10-year-old Latino siblings, Maya and Miguel Santos, as they figure out how to leave their stamp on the world around them, and features their relatives and diverse neighborhood friends. This show centers on Maya's well-intentioned meddling in her family and friends' lives, ultimately creating new quandaries to fix. Their mother is from Mexico, and their father is from Puerto Rico. The underlying message is the importance of doing good for the family and community, and the philosophy that shared happiness is greater than personal gain. The show presents a positive, culturally rich portrayal of Latino families, languages and cultures. In some markets, each episode ends with Maya announcing, "Here's what some of our friends are up to," introducing live-action clips of children engaging and interacting in ways consistent with the show's themes. Maya concludes episodes by exhorting viewers to "visit your local library like 'Maya & Miguel'".

Characters

 * Maya Santos (voiced by Candi Milo) is a sweet, gentle, and energetic Mexican, Hispanic and Puerto Rican girl. She always manages to include her twin brother and friends in her crazy adventures. Whenever Maya comes up with an idea, she always says "¡Éso es!" (That's it!) and her hair bubbles light up while her ponytail spins around; as shown in "The Bet" they will continue to glow until she says "¡Éso es!" She can sometimes be very stubborn, ignorant, and naive, and tends to get involved in other people's business. Although her ideas often don't go the way she plans them, they always accomplish their original objective in the end.
 * Miguel Santos (voiced by Nika Futterman) is Maya's twin brother. Miguel is slightly more practical and sensible than his sister, and enjoys playing soccer and video games. Every time Maya gets an idea, he gets a bad feeling about it. He knows Maya means well, but he thinks she gets more involved in other people's problems than need be. He keeps track of Maya's ideas that have gone wrong, which annoys Maya. However, he would sometimes admit that an idea of hers is the best idea yet. He has a crush on a girl named Kylie, who feels the same way.
 * Theodore "Theo" McEwen (voiced by Jerod Mixon) is Miguel's African-American best friend and soccer buddy. Theo loves sports as much as Miguel does. Theo often gets straight A's in his classes, arguably making him the most intelligent of the kids. Theo is often the voice of reason among his friends.
 * Margaret "Maggie" Lee (voiced by Lucy Liu) is Maya's Chinese-American friend. She is very dramatic, kind, fashionable, and talented. She rarely disagrees with Maya's ideas.
 * Christine "Chrissy" Lum (voiced by Beth Payne) is Maya's Dominican-American friend, and describes herself as Afro-Dominican. She is very sensitive and level-headed, though sometimes she can also be gullible. Chrissy tends to point out the flaws in Maya's plans, similar to Miguel. She also loves animals.
 * Andrew "Andy" Arlington (voiced by Jeannie Elias) is another friend of Miguel's. He is an English-American boy who was born with only one arm. Often seen in the background with Miguel and Theo, he likes to play soccer, basketball, and baseball. Andy moved to Maya and Miguel's neighborhood from Wisconsin.
 * Alberto "Tito" Chávez (voiced by Candi Milo) is Maya and Miguel's cousin who moved to the US from Mexico with his parents. He lives in the same apartment complex. He admires his cousin Miguel; in the episode "I've Got to Be 'Mi-Guel'" he is shown pretending to act as if he is Miguel (which makes Miguel rather pleased, but eventually annoyed at one point). He loves to play soccer like the twins.
 * Abuela Elena (voiced by Lupe Ontiveros) is Maya and Miguel's maternal grandmother.
 * Paco (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is an anthropomorphic bilingual macaw who is the twins' pet, originally owned by their abuela. Most commonly heard saying "Pretty Bird" and "What about Paco, what about Paco?" He often gets loose, causing much trouble and confusion. Paco also often reacts to figures of speech (mostly ones about birds), thinking they are real.
 * Rosa Santos (voiced by Elizabeth Pena) is Santiago's wife and Maya and Miguel's mother who was originally from Mexico.
 * Santiago Santos (voiced by Carlos Ponce) is Rosa's husband and Maya and Miguel's father who was originally from Puerto Rico.

Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden

Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden (1975/Catalyst 09026-61823-2 1993) is an album "performed, synthesized, recorded, and mixed by Alvin Curran." Liner notes by Tim Page and Alvin Curran. Curran says that he was encouraged by then recent solo works by Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Charlemagne Palestine, and Simone Forti, while AllMusic says the album recalls early electronic work involving tape loops, echo, and feedback, and resembles composers Riley, Pauline Oliveros, and Steve Reich.
 * "This lush musical landscape, Alvin Curran's first multi-media solo work, intertwines singing and synthesizer, drones and overtones, bells, gamelans, and sounds of nature—a unique tapestry of sound that eloquently introduces a fanciful and original American composer."

 * "Curran interweaves the sounds of singing, nature, bells, gamelans, and synthesizers into what Page calls 'New Age with brains...he's one composer who can actually organize noise to the point that it becomes music.'"
 * "Hearing his mid-1970s assemblages Songs And Views of the Magnetic Garden or Fiori Chiari Fiori Oscuri is like peering for the first time into Joseph Cornell's boxed collages."
 * "Alvin Curran's 'Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden' was a simmering stew of "found" sounds and minimalism."

The title will also be found as Songs and Views from the Magnetic Garden.

Track listing

 * 1) From a Room on the Piazza – Wind, high-tension wires, swallows, percussion, "molimo" (Mbuti trumpet )
 * 2) Crystal Aires – Voice, ring modulator, glass chimes, water glugger, bees
 * 3) Walked the Way Home – jaw harp, synthesizer, flugelhorn, dogs
 * 4) Gli Scariolanti – Italian folksong sung by Margherita Berietti
 * 5) On My Satin Harp – VCS3 synthesizer, kalimba, sounds of the sea
 * 6) At Harmony Ranch – Whirling plastic tubes [or hoses], peepers (frogs), "Guido" the dog

Ananda N° 1 – 1975 – Italy

Ananda was an Italian label created in 1976 by the composers Alvin Curran, Roberto Laneri and Giacinto Scelsi. Each record was completely realized and produced by its authors.

Leung Yee-tai

Leung Yee-tai was a Wing Chun master of the late Qing Dynasty.

Background
Leung Yee-tai had become associated with Tiandihui and anti-Qing Dynasty resistance.

He was a strong boatman who steered a riverboat by pushing a long pole against the river bottom. A Shaolin monk Chi Sin (至善禪師) saw that he was a natural successor to the Southern Shaolin pole fighting skill called six and a half point long pole.

He taught Wong Wah-bo his pole fighting skill in exchange for the Wing Chun fist-fighting skill. Though he was a student of Wong in Wing Chun, he was actually Wong's sifu in the pole fighting skill. Wong modified the pole fighting skills using Wing Chun principles. The modified pole skill had since part of Wing Chun skills set.

He met Leung Jan of Foshan, a young herbal doctor, when he was sick. He then trained Leung Jan when he was already an old man at over sixty years of age. He went on to introduce Jan to Wong. Because both of Wong and Jan were from Gulao (古勞) Village, Wong imparted his full system of Wing Chun skills to him.

In popular culture
Leung Yee-tai was portrayed by Kong Ngai in the 1981 TVB television drama series Kung Fu Master of Fat Shan.

He was portrayed by Lam Ching-ying in the 1981 Sammo Hung film The Prodigal Son.

In the 2005 TVB television drama series Real Kung Fu, he was portrayed by Bryan Leung.

Zork Timeline
I noticed you've been updating the Zork Timeline. If you want more stuff to add, go to this site:

Is there a way to differentiate the topic of events in the timeline? On the Chronology of Quendor site I gave you, he colors things differently depending on if they relate to: History & Politics, Arts & Architecture, Literature, Legends, Magic & Technology, Business, Daily Life. Any idea on how this could be done for this timeline? As it is, the timeline looks pretty cluttered, but I don't want to take anything out. If there was some way to visually differentiate the more important events from the less important ones... that would be nice. Any suggestions? --Brian0918 02:05, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
