|We'll look at finding the best produce and why picking a juicy peach can be a challenge. It's a classic problem in agriculture -- how to produce fruits and vegetables that taste good, look good on the market shelves, and can survive the often grueling journey from a distant farm to your supermarket. Guest host Joe Palca talks with food writer Russ Parsons, author of the new book "How to Pick a Peach: The Search for Flavor From Farm to Table," about whether there's any hope for folks seeking farm-fresh flavor in this day and age.

Hear a live concert every Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
Philly Local singer-songwriter Amos Lee takes his inspiration from soul and folk artists of the '70s. John Prine, Neil Young, James Taylor and Bill Withers have all been inspiration to him. And this Live Friday will feature this local favorite, playing his special blend of styles.
Amos Lee graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in English, but soon gave up his job as an Elementary School teacher to pursue his career as a musician. Lee first gained wide recognition when he toured with Norah Jones in 2004. His style is a pleasant and intriguing blend of folk, soul, and jazz, and every one of his releases has shown his versatility with these styles. Lee's latest, "Last Days At The Lodge", keeps up his range of melodies and feelings--slow to driving, simple to dark.
"Last Days At The Lodge" came out in 2008, and reception for the alt-folk sentiments was enthusiastic. As Jordan Richardson for Blog Critics wrote,"Amos Lee's Last Days at the Lodge fits agreeably with a sinking sun on a summer evening." Lee took the feedback and has brought together a super list of people and music for his newest, "Mission Bell". Due for release in January, the album will include contributions from Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Priscila Ahn, Pieta Brown, James Gadson, and Calexico.
Don't miss this week's Free at Noon with Amos Lee, as he gears up for his exciting new release the next month.

Study Shows Pfiesteria Triggered by Multiple Components
Scientists Identify Mechanism for Pfiesteria Outbreaks and Discover an Aid For Harmful Algal Bloom Research Efforts
NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science scientists, along with colleagues from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Medical University of South Carolina, and College of Charleston have identified that it is metal-mediated free radical production that transform Pfiesteria piscidcida and Pfiesteria Shumway from harmless dinoflagelletes into toxic organisms that can cause estuarine fish kills. These free radicals are activated chemicals produced as a by-product of biological activity.
The findings were published today on the journal Environmental Science and Technology's Web site (http://pubs.acs.org/journals/esthag/index.html) and are slated for print publication in the February 2007 issue of the peer reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society.
"NOAA is committed to supporting the research needed to find answers to the Pfiesteria puzzle," said retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "The economic impact of harmful algal blooms in the United States averages $49 million yearly, but individual outbreaks can be extremely costly. The 1997 Pfiesteria bloom in Chesapeake Bay cost the Maryland seafood and recreational fishing industries almost $50 million in just a few months."
The team, lead by Peter Moeller, Ph.D., of NOAA's Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research in Charleston, S.C., identified new components, with emphasis on heavy metals, contributing to Pfiesteria toxin mortalities in certain estuary fish species. The experiments were designed to isolate key components that lead to mortality in these fish.
Laboratory experiments were performed using sheepshead minnows — a species found in brackish conditions and tolerant of low-oxygenated water that may otherwise be inhospitable to other fish species. The experiments utilized variations in temperature, Pfiesteria bacteria, heavy metals commonly found in estuaries, brackish water, and natural light.
"Definitive mortality rates in fish occurred within six hours under precise conditions of metals, temperature, light and Pfiesteria toxin," said Moeller, a NOAA research organic chemist. "After activation, the Pfiesteria toxins quickly decomposed rendering the toxin undetectable."
Moeller's collaborators at the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the Medical University of South Carolina were able to characterize the metal-containing toxin using five distinct instrumental methods: nuclear resonance spectroscopy; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry; liquid chromatography particle beam glow discharge mass spectrometry; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the high toxicity of the metal-containing toxins is due to metal-mediated free radical production.
This activity can explain Pfiesteria's toxicity, as well as the previously reported difficulty in observing the molecular target due to the ephemeral nature of radical species. These findings represent the first formal isolation and characterization of a radical forming toxic organic-ligated metal complex from an estuarine/marine dinoflagellate.
The findings add an increased understanding of how metals, commonly found in the estuarine and marine environment, interact with the biological systems in the environment and how those interactions potentially impact both marine animals and human health.
The discovery may not only help solve one of the more intriguing scientific puzzles of the 1990s but may also lead to a new way at looking at the causes of harmful algal blooms. These blooms are increasing globally and threatening human and marine health as well as having significant economic impacts.
Moeller's team made the discovery after noting previous scientific research into the presence of free metallic radicals in the formation of toxins in other harmful algal blooms, including research that dates back to the 1920s.
"We found in looking at the literature as far back as the 1920s, that in previous research that it was the presence of a series of compounds and factors in most cases where there was a triggered toxicity of the organism," said Moeller. "We developed a hypothesis that heavy metals were the key compounds and that when combined with exposure to light and other environmental cues, they cause the formation of a toxin. Once those precise variables change the toxin disappears."
Pfiesteria, originally identified in 1988 by North Carolina researchers JoAnn Burkholder and Ed Noga and characterized with assistance from Florida researcher Karen Steidinger, is believed to be the source of significant fish kills in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly in the Neuse River in North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay's estuary systems during the mid-1990s.
Although it killed significant numbers of fish, it was determined that consuming fish affected by the toxin was not harmful to humans. It was, however, identified as a source of respiratory and skin rashes among fishers in the areas at the time of the fish mortality events.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

Crash closes Highway 18 for four hours
GRAND RONDE — Two adults and a child were transported to Portland and Salem hospitals following a two-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon west of Grand Ronde on Highway 18 in Polk County.
The highway was closed and traffic was detoured around the crash scene for four hours.
The Oregon State Police gave this account:
At about 4:15 p.m., a 2005 Chevrolet Astro van, registered to Harris Electrical of Seattle, Wash., and driven by Joshua D. Lesmeister, 28, of Tenino, Wash., was eastbound.
It crossed the centerline and collided nearly head-on with a westbound 2008 Honda Civic driven by Megan K. Goss, 34, of Portland. Her 18-month-old daughter was a passenger.
Lesmeister was transported by REACH Air Medical Services helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Goss was taken by Pacific West Ambulance to Salem Hospital. Her daughter was transported by Life Flight helicopter to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland. All three sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Goss and Lesmeister were wearing seat belts. The child was was restrained in a safety seat.
Multiple law enforcement and medical emergency responders, including the West Valley Fire District, were dispatched to the scene. OSP troopers from the McMinnville, Newport and Portland offices are handling the investigation.
Any witnesses who have not been interviewed by OSP are asked to contact Senior Trooper Bryan Fitch of the Newport office at 541-265-5354.

Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
In a medium size saute pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the bacon and cook until the bacon is very crispy and all of the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pan and discard. Place the pan over high heat. Add the onions to the hot bacon fat and cook until the onions are well browned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone and farmer's cheeses. Season with nutmeg and black pepper. Reserve.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough as thinly as possible, about 14 to 15-inch circle. Evenly spread the mascarpone mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, bacon, thyme, and sauteed onion. Bake until the pizza crust is nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove pizza from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, cut into slices and serve immediately.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

When you adopt a new cat, be sure to ask for its health records. Then schedule a general checkup with a veterinarian to ensure your kitty has a clean bill of health.
Whenever I pack for a road trip, my cat climbs into my suitcase. I look into those sweet big eyes and say, "Sorry, but you can't come with me." But with an increasing number of hotels, inns, and resorts becoming more pet-friendly over the past few years, it is possible to bring your cat with you -- especially if it's a road trip.
My first choice is to leave my cat at home. Cats are territorial and enjoy being in familiar places, so we hire a cat sitter. However, according to the U.S. Travel Association, about 15 percent of the U.S. population takes cats on road trips.
Traveling with a cat is a lot like traveling with kids. You must include rest stops, so if it takes two hours to reach your destination, plan on taking three. Here are some essentials you should always pack for your pet-friendly road trip:
When you get to your destination, make sure the hotel personnel know that you have a cat with you and that it is staying in your room. This way, there will be no surprises when the cleaning staff enters your room. Usually, hotels place pet signs on doors so they know not to keep them open.
You can also have pet sitters -- many pet-friendly hotels offer this service -- come into your room while you are out. Arrange this before you leave, and spend time with the pet sitter before you go off on your own. This way, you will be able to see how your cat and the sitter get along. Being in new surroundings can be daunting. Having a reliable cat sitter at your hotel will put your mind at ease, and make your cat feel more comfortable as well.

melissa says: i have always left our cat mollie at home , when we go on a road trip. how dose this make her feel.
Suzy says: Hitch your car to the back of the RV.
Cheryl says: We transport cats and kittens to other transporters. Please remember to look for a shadded area at lunch time for your car and keep the windows down a bit plus keep the cats crated. Have a good trip!
Frank says: I had to evacuate for hurricanes when I lived in Louisiana. I was worried about travelling w/ a cat. Everything was prepared in the SUV. I pulled the backseat and secured and xtralarge carrier cage and her litter box. She was miserable all the way from Lake Charles to Tyler. I even had a video player for her...she likes watching tv(I know I know). She clawed and meowed the whole so I decided to let her out and wander the truck. WALLA!!!! She was great...she even sat on the console by me. She just wanted to see the countryside too. Now I use her carrier cage as a lookout so she can relax during the ride. When I recently moved to Phoenix, Az from Louisiana (2day drive) I wasn't worried with Captain Booger @ my side. So if your cat's in a carrier and she's meowing miserably take a chance and let her wander the vehicle. Note: my cat won't make a pit stop til the truck stops. Keep that in mind. You may not have to go, but does whistle britches need too?
I. Harper says: We are driving to Mexico from Canada, a trip of approx 7 days. I would like to take our car with us, do you have any helpful suggestions. We travel in a 19 foot R.V.
Sarah Brown says: How do you deal with all the meowing in the car?

Friday was a busy day for D.J. Burt.
In the morning, he officially graduated from Fuquay-Varina High School.
In the afternoon, he was out shopping when he received the phone call that made his dreams come true. He had been drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the fourth round (123rd overall) of the Major League Baseball Draft.
Burt was excited. He bought one more item.
"I just bought another Kansas City Royals hat," Burt said, adding he wasn't expecting his name for another few rounds. "It's crazy getting picked so early. It worked out good though."
Burt signed a $200,000 signing bonus with the Royals and flew to Arizona on Monday for a week of training.
Just a few picks earlier, a former area high school star heard his name called.
Green Hope graduate Max Povse, who once struck out a school-record 18 batters in a game with the Falcons, was with his family when he picked up the phone. The Atlanta Braves had made him their third-round choice (102nd overall).
"I knew there was a possibility" to go in the third round, Povse said. "When I found out, it was so exciting. It was the greatest moment of my life."
Burt and Povse share little in common besides both being drafted on Friday and both starting their professional careers immediately. They did both play at least one season of high school basketball – Povse played all four years – but even on the hardwood their differences in stature stand out.
Burt is a 5-foot-9 player right out of high school who who can play up to five different positions. He played mostly shortstop at Fuquay-Varina and hit .423 this past year with four home runs.
Povse is a 6-foot-8 junior right-handed pitcher coming off three years at UNC-Greensboro, where he was 12-14 overall with a 5.32 ERA (209 strikeouts in 215 innings). It was the second time Povse was drafted, the other coming in 2011 when the Los Angeles Dodgers took him in the 42nd round – there are only 40 rounds of the draft now – right out of high school.
Like Povse's former conference opponent Carlos Rodon of Holly Springs (drafted third overall by the Chicago White Sox on Thursday), he turned down an offer to enter the minor leagues out of high school, and the move paid off with a significant draft improvement.
"I was really happy for him," Povse said of Rodon. "It's cool that some of the Tri-9 (Conference) guys are doing big things."
Burt already knows he will be close to home for much of the summer, playing Rookie League ball in Burlington.
"Like my family said, I just got blessed and couldn't have done it without the Lord. He just blessed me and my family," Burt said.

When people come to you with a serious disease and ask for help, you cannot concern yourself with whether they are esteemed or dishonorable, wealthy or poor, elderly or young, beautiful or ugly. Your care must be safe, and not swayed by whether they are your dearest family member or your adversary, your good friend or a stranger, Chinese or a foreigner, foolish or wise. In your mind's eye, each patient is on the same level, degree and class, and is treated as close as family. Your care must never be self serving or motivated my what brings good or bad fortune, or by that which is pleasing or upsetting. Your protection and care should be precisely what is necessary; no more, no less, without deference to your own safety and life. Know, in your heart, that your good deeds are sincere and not a game. Show courage but caution. Actively explore and broaden your knowledge, but stand firmly on your principles of which you are certain.

Intel's Moorestown Accelerates Smartphone Competition
Intel yesterday officially announced its Atom Z600 family of processors, along with the platform that supports it, known as Moorestown. It's a big and long-awaited move, one Intel hopes will help it compete in the high-end smartphone and tablet market. But although Moorestown is a step in the right direction, Intel still faces a lot of challenges in its competition with ARM-based processors for the smartphone market.
The Moorestown platform is based around the Atom Z600 family of processors, which Intel calls a "system-on-chip" (SoC). This processor (known as Lincroft) is a 45nm chip that combines a single CPU core with integrated 3D graphics, video encode and decode, memory, and display controllers. The platform also includes an I/O Controller Hub (MP20, known as Langwell) along with a power management chip called a Mixed Signal IC. Makers of smartphones or tablets would then have to add to it various wireless options, depending on the types and networks they want to support, along with a screen, antennas, memory, and so on.
In other words, Moorestown is more integrated than Intel's previous Atom-based platforms, but it still involves a number of chips to create a full system. Pretty much every smartphone relies on separate chips for applications processing and for wireless options, but many of today's chips are more integrated, and some are available with the memory as part of the package. In other words, this still isn't quite as integrated as some of the competitors, so it's more suited for larger smartphones and tablets than for smaller units. Intel hopes to address this with the next version, codenamed Medfield, which will integrate the controller hub onto the processor.
The Z600 family is available at a number of frequencies, ranging up to 1.5 GHz for high-end smartphones and 1.9 GHz for tablets and "Mobile Internet Devices." That high-end part in particular should be faster than the ARM-based designs we've seen to date--but even Intel's own positioning points out that it is destined for larger machines.
Obviously, we'll have to wait to see final device to really tell battery life and to see how it performs in the real world, but this should be a step in the right direction. However, since I saw the first demonstration of Moorestown a year ago, we've seen a number of more powerful ARM-based processors running at up to 1 GHz, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon, Nvidia Tegra 2, and the Apple A4. In addition, a number of chip designers are working on ARM-based processors with two or more cores.
More important may be the question of software, particularly in the smartphone market. Intel has made a big deal of the fact that the Atom is an Intel Architecture (x86) processor, that there are huge numbers of applications designed to work on this architecture, and that indeed virtually every Internet site works on x86. But the vast majority of those applications are designed for Windows or Macintosh computers, not phones. Meanwhile, the phone vendors and the applications makers are all pretty used to writing for ARM-based phones, and this is something different.
Intel says the new platform is designed to work with its Moblin version of Linux, MeeGo OS https://blogs.pcmag.com/miller/2010/02/mwc_smartphone_platform_compet.php (an open source combination of Moblin and Nokia's Maemo), and Android. But of course, even applications written for Maemo and Android will need to be tested on the new platform.
Now these are indeed big challenges. But Intel has some unique advantages as well, including that huge base of x86 software compatibility, its advanced manufacturing technology, its relationships with many hardware makers, and of course, the performance of the parts.
I can easily imagine Atom Z600-based tablets running Android or even full Windows that could be smaller than today's tablet PCs but that run faster than the iPad or the other ARM-based tablets we've seen. I expect we will see at least a few smartphones, likely fairly large devices, aimed at the very high end of the market. Still, if the software issues are resolved and the battery life really is as good as Intel claims, such machines could be more powerful than today's smartphones. However, it seems unlikely any large smartphone maker will make a
Moorestown-based the focus of their line this year.
Over the next few months, we should see devices based on the new platform. It's only then that we'll be able to judge how well it really works.
Here's ExtremeTech's take and a more detailed history from AnandTech.

OrchIS provides identity and access management (IAM) microservices using stateless APIs that bridge security and cloud enablement while reducing fraud in the financial sector. Our core technology is a continuous risk based adaptive authorization engine coupled with orchestrated remediation that leverages data security intelligence into authorization decisions fusing the risk/trust divide and allowing discrete business processes to reduce transactional risk. OrchIS uses a massively scalable distributed microservices architecture with real-time machine discovery to build complex relationships between users, devices, things, applications, locations and real time threats. Using that data we gauge transactional risk based on the who, what, why, where, when and how with a mitigation model that addresses risk changes during an active session.
Provide Break-Through User Experience and Business Agility through Continuous Adaptive Security
Identity management has fundamentally shifted as microservices and IOT transform the meaning of business agility and user experience. OrchIS brings the microservices/API revolution to the IAM marketplace providing strong authentication, authorization and management of widely distributed users, devices, customers, things, locations, APIs, applications and their associative relationships into a transactional risk profile. This enables new disruptive features like session mobility and continuous risk based adaptive authorization that dynamically increases security and user engagement while reducing friction resulting in an increased capacity to know your customer.

In interior design, you're always striving for a visual weight that is balanced. If you want proof, take a second to think about how one of the rooms in your home would feel if you took all the furniture and pushed it all into the same corner. Odds are you would feel as though you were standing on the deck of a sinking ship.
Since prints and patterns are naturally eye-grabbing, they are a great go-to item when you feel as though one corner of your space needs a little extra weight behind it. Consider a large patterned wallhanging or even a printed sofa if you really need to pack a big punch.
Use pattern to help evenly distribute visual weight throughout the space. Image Via: Andrew Flesher Interiors
Conventional wisdom states that you should never, ever mix patterns. Doing so was thought to make the space too busy in a way that would overwhelm the eye and confuse the overall look of the space. So, it was often recommended that you pick one pattern and intersperse it strategically throughout the space.
Now, however, times have definitely changed. Rather than being seen as "too busy", the ability to successfully mix patterns signifies a deft eye and adds a level of complexity to the space that is often only found in professionally designed homes.
As for the trick that makes all these patterns work harmoniously rather than clash? It's all about color. Choosing distinct patterns that all fall within the color palette will all them to come together cohesively while still giving your space the intricacyyou desire.
Mix different patterns by coordinating colors. Image Via: Sweetlake Interior Design LLC
Okay, so maybe we just told to use similar colors in your patterns to help them all work together. That's true, for the most part. But, as any lover of interior design knows, the best looks are often achieved when you bend the hard and fast rules. We recommend that you make a splash in your space by adding one contrasting patterned element.
While the color may not be the exact same as the main shade in your palette, it should be one that coordinates well. Take a cue from basic color theory and make sure that the distinct color your using fits within one of the main color schemes. Remember, the biggest impact is achieved when two shades sit directly opposite each other on the color.
Also, keep in mind that this should only account for one of your design elements. Make it count. Choose a piece that you love and focus on making it the focal point of your room. It could be something like the backsplash in your dream kitchen or the duvet cover for the bed in your master suite.
DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES News Release
For Immediate News Release July 29, 2014
Hawai'i Forest Legacy Program Looks For New Projects
HONOLULU — The State of Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is seeking new projects for under the Hawai'i Forest Legacy Program to protect important working forest lands from the threat of conversion to non-forest uses. The U.S. Forest Service-funded Forest Legacy Program, administrated through DLNR's Division of Forestry and Wildlife, welcomes applications for conservation acquisition assistance.
The Hawai'i Forest Legacy Program works with private landowners, conservation non-profit groups, the counties, and other state agencies to promote sustainable, healthy forests.
"The Forest Legacy Program can be a very competitive program with only a few dozen projects being funded by the U.S. Forest Service each year," stated Lisa Hadway, administrator of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife, "but Hawai'i projects have always competed well in this national program."
Roughly 58 percent of the land in Hawai'i is privately owned, and 45,000 acres have been protected under the state's program. The Division of Forestry and Wildlife is also currently working on projects that will protect an additional 5,000 acres of important forested watershed lands through the establishment of conservation easements.
Conservation easements, similar to the agreement reached this year between the state, City and County of Honolulu, The Trust for Public Land, and Turtle Bay Resort for 665.8 acres in Kahuku, are a relatively new conservation tool that allows a landowner to retain ownership of the restricted title to their property while providing permanent protection from development or unsustainable uses, providing landowners with an alternative to selling their land to development companies. While entering into a conservation easements is voluntary, restrictions are binding to all future owners in perpetuity.

NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) -- A guard at a southwest Mississippi prison died Sunday and several other employees were injured during a disturbance involving hundreds of inmates that continued into the evening, authorities and the prison's operator said.
Emily Ham, a spokeswoman for the Adams County Sheriff's Office, confirmed Sunday evening that the guard died while being transported to a hospital. She said Corrections Corp. of America, the prison's private operator, was working Sunday night with law-enforcement authorities to bring the disturbance under control.
CCA said in a news release that the disturbance began at around 2:40 p.m. CDT. The news release said five employees were transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries and one was taken offsite. It said "the disturbance is contained within the secure perimeter of the facility, with no threat to public safety."
State and local law-enforcement officers are providing outside perimeter security, the news release said.
The company said the cause of disturbance is pending investigation. The 2,567-bed prison houses adult male criminal aliens for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the news release said.
CCA spokesman Steve Owen confirmed in an email "there has been one employee death" but he said he could not provide more details immediately.
"Efforts by facility staff and law enforcement officials to quell the incident are ongoing," Owens said in an email late Sunday to The Associated Press.
Ham said no inmates had escaped the facility.
Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield told the Natchez Democrat that agencies were working to release eight staffers who were still inside. He said they know where some of them are and doesn't believe any more are injured. Fifteen employees were freed at once by opening a fence and protecting the route with guns, he told the newspaper.
Mayfield estimated that 200 to 300 inmates were causing the problems, including lighting a campfire. At one point, flames and smoke were visible from outside the prison. These inmates causing the troubles were not armed with traditional weapons, the sheriff said. Mayfield said the scene was calming down.

Dutch government boosting girls' education in Ethiopia
In signing the agreement, the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Ethiopia, H.E. Alphons Hennekens, highlighted the commitment of the Netherlands Government to support efforts in increasing access to good quality education for girls. He also indicated the importance of improving the Cluster Schools system as they are important in supporting teachers.
Mr. Bjorn Ljungqvist, UNICEFs Representative in Ethiopia said, We are most grateful for this generous support from the Netherlands Government. This support will go a long way to improving significantly the access to schooling by girls. There is global evidence showing that one of the very best social investments any country can make is in girls education. By educating girls you benefit all levels of society and can also prevent many of the social abuses suffered by girls and women today.
The three-yearlong project will not only increase access to education but also work to improve the facilities of schools in those regions, strengthen teacher preparedness and effectiveness and upgrade school management capacities. The project will develop model girl and child friendly schools, support PTA development and also Alternative Basic Education (ABE) facilities to address the special social conditions of people living in the designated areas.
The project supports the national commitment to education as part of the national development and poverty reduction strategy.
