can i stream audio from the internet to my airport express?
Would love it if i can stream audio from my internet sites, i.e. you tube, vimeo, radio internet. to my Airport express speakers.

2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Hey mate,
To stream from the internet (e.g. YouTube etc) you just need to change the audio settings from your computer to the Airport.
It's not quite as straight forward as hitting the Airplay button in iTunes, and it does mean that ALL audio will be played from your Airport (when you use iTunes it only sends the music playing not the sound from your computer). But it's easy enough to change back and fourth when desired and will give you what you want.
---> System Preferences ----> Sound ---> then select 'Airplay' rather than the internal speakers.

Ariel Joseph~ Recruitment 2012
Who are you?
Who am I? Lots of people tend to ask me that question, so I normally state my name and what school I am attending or what job I have at the time. "My name is Ariel Joseph, I am a junior at Midwestern State University studying psychology and I am a cashier at Fuzzys Taco Shop." Yes, all those statements are true about me, but I am so much more than those few things. I am the daughter of two loving and kind parents. I am the sister to six insane and very protective brothers. I am an aunt to 3.5 adorable nieces and nephews (three already here and one cooking in the oven!!!). I am a niece to the most caring aunt and uncle a girl could ask for. I am a best friend to my two crazy roommates who will never leave my side. I am the fiancé to a man who knows unconditional love and who is my best friend, and lastly I am a sister, FOREVER, to 50 other sisters who will always have my back no matter what. I know I am so much more than what people see on a daily basis. I am me!
Why I became Greek?
When I first came to college I was dead set on NEVER going Greek, but as the first few weeks of college came to an end the only thing girls in my dorm could talk about was Rush Week. At the time I had no idea what Rush Week even was, but for some reason my roommate persuaded me to go through Rush, even if it were just to make friends. I did not think I would actually rush and join a sorority, but at the end of rush I had completely changed my mind. Growing up with so many brothers always made me like guys more than girls and I could relate better to guys, but seeing how happy all the sorority girls were made me want a slice of that happiness. I remember, like it was yesterday, sitting in the CSC and signing my big card; I couldn't have been any happier. I knew that whatever sorority I had gotten into would accept me for me, flaws and all. And that is exactly what happened. I have 50 incredible sisters that will always be there for me, sun up or sun down, when I call on them. Rushing was one of the greatest decisions in my life.
How has my Greek experience benefited me?
Going Greek has brought numerous benefits into my life. There is always a sister to call up when the times get rough. Always a sister to console when it comes to taking certain classes and professors. Always someone to study with (whether they are in that class with you or not). Always someone to go catch a movie, or go shopping with. Having 50 different sisters is like automatically making 50 new best friends. You know that even if you are not super close to a certain someone, they will still be there for you in a heartbeat when called upon. Going Greek has helped me become independent and rely on my sisters and not just my family members. My sisters are my home away from home.
What my parents, friends, and family thought about me going Greek?
All my friends and family thought I was a little crazy for wanting to go Greek at first, but now they see how much joy being Greek as brought me and they love seeing me happy. People always think that being Greek is just about hanging out with people of the opposite sex and constant partying, but that's completely wrong. We focus on different philanthropies, fundraisers, and helping out other organizations. Being Greek has helped me academically, because of the mandatory study hours that are required each week. At first I hated being "forced" to do study hours, but I see now that those study hours have helped me keep a good GPA and will help me accomplish goals in the future. Let's just say that now my friends and family members, that are not Greek, are secretly jealous.
What I never expected to get out of going Greek that I have?
When I joined a sorority I knew I would get sisters, but I never expected to get friendships out of those sisters. I got sick and diagnosed with cancer in January 2012, and my sisters never left my side. You know your sisters love you when they spend their own money to send you care packages weekly for 5 whole months. It was great getting text messages from all my sisters saying that they were praying for me and that they couldn't wait for my return. Besides from just my personal sisters, all the Greek life members at MSU got involved to send me flowers and a huge poster board with everyone's signature on it. You really can feel the love you have for your fellow Greek brothers and sisters when something as big as cancer enters a member's life. I couldn't have gotten through those 5 months away from school without the love and support of Greek members everywhere. To those members, I say thank you.
Michelle Tomei~ Recruitment Blog!
My name is Michelle Tomei and I am 21 years old. I moved here from The Netherlands in the summer of 06.
When my family moved back at the end of 09, I started to feel lonely. My family had always been right there beside me no matter where or how many times we moved around. This was the first time I was actually on my own. On campus I had heard a lot of things about the Greek system and how the chapters are like a family to each of the members. I always saw them in their letters sitting together for lunch or just walking around campus. I wanted to be a part of that family too. So I decided to go Greek that following fall.
My friends and family all encouraged me and supported me going Greek. My parents said that it would be great to have another support system I can rely on which isn't a continent away.
After joining and being in the Greek system for a couple of years now I can truly say that I have a family away from home here in the states. They are always there for me. Whether it be that I need help with my studies, to listen to me complain about my relationship troubles or even if it's just to come to the house to get rid of a bug, I know my sisters are just a call away. Of course the ride is not always as smooth as with 45 girls, but like I said that's family. Yes, there might be some disagreements, but that's how families are. At the end of the day we still love each other and we always have each other's backs. It's like you're younger sibling. You pick on them all the time. However, you're the only one that can and you better not catch anyone else doing it. I would have never expected the sisterhood bonds that you create to run this deep through everybody. Going Greek was one of the best choices I have made here at Midwestern State.
Sarah Rankin~ My Greek Experience
Who am I? I am quiet, trustworthy, friendly, happy, receptive, loyal, a sister, daughter and friend. I love Dr. Pepper and Tex-Mex, and swimming.
Why did I become Greek? I became GREEK because the friendships and involvement on campus.
How has my Greek experience benefited me? My GREEK experience has benefitted me tremendously in my life, having a sense of belonging like being a part of something so meaningful and meeting so many people who have the same values.
What my parents, friends, family thought about me going greek? My family supported my decisions on going greek, a lot of people make the impression that Greeks like to party, that we have bad grades, and are rich snobs. But that is definitely not the case, we are the opposite we are people who want to excel in life and pursue greater things. Telling people that ask me about greek life automatically assume that its all about the parties. Greek Life is about the bonds and becoming a better version of yourself that was affected by your brothers or sisters. My family knows that Greek life is a good thing not a bad things because of me and my experience, so they supported me.
What I never expected to get out of going greek that I have? Greek Life has impacted my life in a way that I never expected It would, I used to highly timid, all though I am still a bit shy I have come a quite a ways out of my shell so to speak. Meeting new people every semester for recruitment purposes has forced me to talk to new people and branch out.
Anything else about me I would like to add? Well to reiterate what I just said about greek life making a huge impact upon my life, it truly has. I would not take back rushing my first year of college for anything greek life has truly made me a better person and I care about everything we do.
Kristyna Butler~ My Greek Life!
Who am I?
I'm Kristyna Butler. I'm the oldest of six kids in an amazing family that I wouldn't trade for the world. I'm a Photography major with a minor in Graphic Design. I'm completely obsessed with helping people be themselves and showing others that everyone is unique. I love helping anyone in any way I can and really hope my small contribution makes some kind of dent in the world. I'm absolutely in love with my sorority and everything it stands for and am grateful for the influence it has in my life.
Why I became Greek?
I became Greek to get involved in the community. I moved back to Wichita Falls in my 3rd year of college and needed help getting involved in the campus life and activities. I decided to participate in fall recruitment to try and become apart of a group of girls that could help me do this and hopefully become my new college family.
How has my Greek experience benefited me?
Becoming Greek was one of the best choices I've ever made. I became apart of an amazing group of girls that has supported me through so much in my life. It's helped me to make a difference in my community and aided me in meeting so many wonderful people.
What my parents, friends, family thought about me going Greek?
Everyone around me was extremely supportive of me joining a Greek organization. My parents and grandparents were proud that I was getting involved and my friends were excited I was branching out and meeting new people.
What I never expected to get out of going Greek that I have?
I never expected to gain the close friendships I have. I knew that I would be gaining sisters and becoming apart of a group of girls that contribute time to their community, but I never imagined I would be gaining the support system or amazingly dedicated friends that I have now.
Kelly Wood~ How going greek changed my life!
Well, my name is Kelly Wood. I'm a Junior at MSU. I am starting the radiology program in the fall, and i'm super excited. I have one older sister, two younger ones and two amazing parents. Without my family I would be totally lost. I also have a two year old niece whom I adore but she usually only likes me when I have food to share, and a nephew on the way that i'm extremely excited about. I pretty much want to enjoy all life has to offer so i'm always down for an adventure. I could probably live off of Macaroni and Cheese, and my favorite time of year is football season. yes, I am a Green Bay Packer fan but I was born in Wisconsin and all my family lives there… it's kind of a requirement to be a Wood. I try to live my life has happy as possible because I really don't have time to not be.
There is a simple answer to that. Because I wanted to make friends. I went to school in Burkburnett, and if you don't know thats like 15 minutes away. So half my class left the Wichita Falls area and the other half stayed. Sense so many burk people stayed, I felt hanging out with them all the time would feel just like high school and even though I didn't go far I still wanted that college experience. Rush was really the first thing I noticed that would accommodate that change for me, so I went through. Of course now, I'm so glad I did and I really am getting that college experience because Greek has pushed me to branch out and I don't think I would have without it.
Well, of course going greek has pushed me to branch out. I've tried clubs and organizarions on campus that I probably wouldn't have without it, I've met people I probably wouldn't have and I have spent time giving back to my school, our town and of course my sorority's philanthropies that I definitely wouldn't have without going greek. Most people that spend time with now probably wouldn't believe it but I used to be quit and shy if you will around people I didn't really know, now im not. I've also learned life skills like money and time management and by networking with Alumnae, I've learned how to talk to people in a professional setting. Things like good interview skills.
With execption of a few, most of my family and friends didn't know anything about greeks other than what the TV showcased and lead everyone on to believe. They've always been supportive but the longer I'm involved in it, the more and more they see it's benefits. The only person that will probably never like it is my dad. I mean, he is supportive but he always tells me I should be doing something more constructive than sorority. oh well, I think I've talked both of my younger sisters into rushing when they start college so he'll just have to get used to be a greek dad! 😉
I would probably have to say they friends. In my sorority, other sororities and fraterities on campus. Even friends of friends in the greek system. I always thought everyone was crazy when I was in high school and they told me the friends, the fights and the break up's didn't matter because your college friends are the ones you keep forever. But now, I totally understand it. Of all the friends I called "best friends" in highs school, I still hang out with one of them. I have no doubt, I've met my brides maids, The people that will come in town for my baby shower, and the people ill call just when I want to talk when I need a break.
Renee DuBois~ ☮ ♥ SORORITY LIFE
I never pictured myself as a "Sorority Girl." I always thought that sorority life would be how I saw it on TV. My freshman year of college I decided to go through recruitment just to meet people and really see what sorority life was about. I never expected to join a sorority. I mainly wanted to see what a REAL sorority was like and see if what I saw on TV was true. After the first night of recruitment my mind was blown! Boy was the TV wrong with portraying sororities!!!
I had no idea that sororities did so much community service, got involved in the community/university and each chapter had their own philanthropy they helped. I was so surprised that sorority girls don't just drink and party like what TV taught me they do. These girls I met all talked about up holding their values and how academics are very important to them. I couldn't believe what I had in my mind of a sorority was so different then the real thing.
By the end of recruitment I decided that joining a sorority was the right thing for me. I loved getting involved in the community just like these women, I cared about my academics just like them, and I wanted to experience the experience all the ladies talked about.
Four years later I am so glad I decided to join a sorority! I have gotten so much out of being in a sorority. I have met a bunch of women I never would have thought to have known. I have made numerous memories that will last a life time and I have been given so many leadership opportunities. Words cannot describe how much I love sorority life and how much I wish I could change the way TV portrays us and what we do. Before you think "no the sorority life isn't for me," you really should give it a try. It may not be all what you think it is … IT IS SO MUCH MORE!!! ☮ ♥ SORORITY LIFE
Katiee Cowart~ Why I became Greek…
Who am I?
Easy enough, I am a small town girl at Midwestern State University studying education with a specialty in English. I like to laugh and have fun. I'm definitely into the whole puns and corny jokes thing. I love surprising others through generosity. My parents still live in the same house, on the same street, of the same town, Hamilton. The only thing there is a dollar general and restaurants in gas stations. Everybody knows everybody, so I'm super open and honest. I live by the same virtues and morals as like a grandmother, but that's okay by me. Just don't ask me to knit you anything. I love meeting new people and helping others. I have exactly 3 sisters and 1 brother in law. I love my family, my friends, and my sorority sisters. Also I love Justin Bieber, so please just embrace my odd 12 year old like love of singers.
Why I became Greek?
As previously mentioned, I am from a small town. I grew up with everybody leaving their homes and cars unlocked, kids walking home from school, zero crime or strangers. Hamilton could have been a Thomas Kinkade painting. No joke. The whole town closes down for Friday night games and somebody's family reunion. College was a big adjustment, most likely since I came to Midwestern solo, no friends, no family, no nothing, besides a stuffed animal and some courage. I wasn't used to having to make friends or meet new people, as I basically grew up in a place where everybody has the same interests and friends. Going Greek was my ticket into a new life at school. The best part about going Greek is that you can truly be yourself. My entire sorority can quote my Hamilton stories, they liked me for me. Greek life allowed me to become apart of something bigger without changing myself.
How has my Greek experience benefited me?
Hamilton made me rely solely on the same people. Greek life allowed me to branch out, meet new people, explore. I know it sounds cliché, but it's the honest truth. My Greek experience gave me a second family, a family that I know can be there when my parents and sisters live too far away.
What my parents, friends, and family thought about me going Greek:
My parents were proud that I wasn't going to shut myself up in my dorm room all year. They were glad that I was being active on campus. My friends were mostly shocked. I'm not typically the type of person that strikes you as "hey, that girl's in a sorority." All through school I was mostly friends with boys, because I was the student athletic trainer. Ergo, I picked up after them, helped them with homework, and made their mothers feel safe. So they were really surprised that I was going Greek, but none the less, they were still supportive. My younger sisters were THRILLED. Like more than me. For serious. They would draw my letters all over stuff, and brag to their friends. I was glad they were happy for me.
What I never expected Greek Life to bring me, but it has:
MY LIFE. My values, my opinions, my sisters, my friends, my job even. Becoming Greek opened so many doors for me personally. I have more pride in myself than I ever did before, because I know that there are 40 girls in my sorority that stand behind me, and an entire community that stands behind them. There is a level of support in being Greek that you can't find anywhere else. No matter what sorority, no matter what campus, somebody is going to be able to relate to you.

Johannesburg - A woman was arrested in Soweto on Monday after she allegedly bit off a portion of a man's penis, Gauteng police said.
"She was arrested at the police station after she followed the complainant to the station," said Constable Sibusiso Chauke.
The two met at a tavern in Meadowlands, Soweto on Saturday.
"The victim, aged 38, proposed to the suspect and she agreed. They also agreed to go to the victim's place of residence to have sexual intercourse," Chauke said.
On arrival at the house, the woman told the man to unzip his trousers so she can kiss his private parts before intercourse.
"He did so and she bit off a front portion of his private parts. He managed to push her (away)... He was taken to hospital and was released today (Monday)," said Chauke.
Chauke said the woman heard about the man's intention to open a case against her, and followed him to the police station.
"The doctor's medical report indicated that she bit him on a very dangerous portion of the private parts, and that he could have died, hence the attempted murder charge."
The woman, aged 39, is expected to appear in court soon.

Sunday, July 11, 2010; A15
In a past era, there was little need to share marketing information with The Post's newsroom. Profits were high. Circulation was robust. Editors decided what they thought readers needed, not necessarily what they wanted.
But in today's newsroom, with its relentless online focus, editors get hourly reports on traffic to The Post's Web site. When audience numbers dip below goals, devices are employed to draw visitors. Photos of Anna Chapman serve as a magnet for those searching for news about the attractive Russian spy. A photo gallery from Lindsay Lohan's tearful court appearance creates a traffic bump (a click on each image counts as a page view). A gimmicky, unscientific "Post User Poll" invites readers to vote on Lohan's jail term. Search requests from across the vast Web are monitored so editors know what users want most. One day last week, the hot search term was "LeBron." Editors made sure the home page featured NBA superstar LeBron James as he prepared to announce which team he would join.
In the Internet age, readers rule. And with The Post's future so dependent on growing its Web audience, why shouldn't the customer be king?
But this relentless focus on giving readers what they want has exposed confusion and concern within The Post's newsroom about journalistic standards. Many Web-focused staffers are more inclined to post a story that is not fully verified, simply because it's the buzz on the Web and will draw traffic. Veterans, steeped in a print culture, worry that a fixation on traffic-driving celebrities will cheapen The Post brand and lessen its commitment to public service journalism. If traffic ends up guiding coverage, they wonder, will The Post choose not to pursue some important stories because they're "dull"?
Ken Doctor, a Web-savvy news industry analyst, said using data to determine reader desires is invaluable. But "important to me, as someone who cares about journalism, is that these new tools not be left to those who don't have a public-service aspect to their business."
Raju Narisetti, the managing editor in charge of the Web site, insisted The Post's "brand and its ethics and rigor" are secure. He noted that expanding the audience exposes more people to The Post's journalism, including its ambitious investigative projects. And he correctly cautioned that The Post's "ability to fund and do good journalism is ultimately at risk" if it isn't supported by a viable, sustainable online business.
The Post's newspaper circulation has been steadily eroding while its online audience has remained flat in recent years. Increasing the Web audience is critical to attracting advertising to offset declines in print revenue. The Post has set an ambitious October goal of boosting online traffic 25 percent from a year earlier. Through June, total unique visitors were up 16.7 percent for the year.
From inside Narisetti's glass-fronted office, a large computer screen constantly updates Web data for the staff to see. This "Daily Trending Report" shows about 100 measurements of Post online traffic for everything from stories to videos to blogs. Green arrows, pointing up, indicate gains. Red arrows, pointing down, signal declines. The pressure to hit targets is unrelenting. That's what is fueling newsroom concern about standards.
Journalistic contrivances, such as celebrity photo galleries or cooked-up stories speculating whether Britain's Prince William will marry, strike me as relatively harmless.
Of more concern is the view that partially reported stories can be posted online because, if inaccurate, they can be quickly updated or revised. Yet there's some logic to doing this. Unlike newspapers, the Web is continuously updating and self-correcting. And if readers can't reliably find hot-topic stories on The Post's site, they'll go elsewhere.
Online executive producer Katharine Zaleski said that "we should be as sure as we can be" before posting a story. But, she added, it's critical that The Post's site carry "what's being talked about" even if stories aren't fully developed.
That approach, at odds with traditional journalism, reflects the reality that newsrooms are moving into uncharted territory where online standards must evolve.
My advice to The Post: Lead the discussion.
There should be robust newsroom dialogue, of course. But as Doctor suggests, readers also should be invited into the conversation. On its site, The Post should explain how it uses metrics to shape content. Armed with that knowledge, readers can offer feedback.
The Post wants to know as much as possible about what its Web readers want. That should include what they think about preserving time-honored standards and ethics in the online world.

I had braces for about 5 years and got them removed about 5 years ago. I wore my retainer faithfully but in the last 2 months the teeth began to move and the large gap in between my two front teeth that had been corrected is coming back. What can I do?
My Teeth Are Moving Even with my Retainer In?
Doctor Answers 1
Teeth Shifting
It sounds like you may have a low Maxillary labial frenum, which is the muscle that attaches your lip to your gums. The pulling force from this muscle can cause space between the front teeth to open. If so I would recommend you go back to you orthodontist to tighten the retainer which can close the gap (if it is small enough). Once the gap is closed I would then recommend having the orthodontist place a permanent retainer on the back of the two front teeth to prevent space from opening up again. It is also recommended that you see a periodontist to have a frenectomy performed which will eliminate the pulling force from the muscle.

Washington • General Motors Co. is the first big automaker to support legislation barring rental-car companies from renting or selling vehicles subject to a recall.
GM's support was announced Wednesday by bill author Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. GM endorsed the bill after language was inserted clarifying that automakers that automakers couldn't be charged by rental-car companies for lost use if rentals were grounded while they were being repaired, Schumer said in a news release.
Detroit-based GM sent Schumer a letter within the past week expressing its support. Schumer's announcement came a day before GM CEO Mary Barra and the company's general counsel appear before a Senate subcommittee investigating GM's decade-delayed recall of millions of small cars for flawed ignition switches. The problem has been blamed for at least 13 deaths.

YouTube Video shows abuse in Syrian school
SMN No. 9, September 14, 2010
With the rise of video-sharing and social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook, it might be more difficult today to hide abuses happening behind closed doors in Syria. The latest scandal follows the posting of a short video showing two schoolteachers using physical violence against their students.
The identity of the instructors and the school where the incident happened are still unknown but the images have drawn wide condemnation among Syrian netizens who asked for those responsible for the abuses to be questioned and punished.
A Facebook group called, "Help us identify the two teachers that have abused our kids," has attracted more than 1,200 members. The organisers said that teaching using violence has to be stopped. The video showed a teacher beating a child on the soles of his feet and then hitting the hands of a little girl with a wooden stick. In the background, other pupils wearing official school uniforms were shown crying.
Comments on the group mostly rejected these practices. One commentator asked sarcastically in reference to a notorious case of torture of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers, "Do they think they are in the Abu Ghraib prison?" Some of the group members said that the teachers were probably in a rural school. Others said they were shocked to see that these practices, used in schools in the past, were still happening.

Still the most famous of the caviars, our Imperial Beluga will not disappoint. Well known for it's large pearlescent grey eggs and full bodied and rich flavour with very creamy texture and long finish.
The Huso Huso sturgeon, indigenous to the Caspian Sea are the largest of all sturgeon species, growing up to a tonne in the wild.
The fish are caviar mature at 18 years old and it is this time that gives the roe it's truly unique characteristics. Still considered the best caviar available. Perfect for that extra special treat.
The Huso Huso sturgeon was originally indigenous to the Caspian Sea, is the still the largest sturgeon known to man. In some cases a female Huso Huso sturgeon can live up to 150 years old, grow up to nearly 12 meters in length and can weigh up to 2 ton in weight. Becoming caviar mature at a minimum of 18 years of age, the female's caviar eggs are highly desirable. They are largest and certainly the most impressive when adorning any fine dining table.

Coleman announces economic development goals; details to follow
LITTLE ROCK (Arkansas News Bureau) -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Curtis Coleman on Tuesday called for lowering or eliminating the state income tax and decentralizing the state's economic development role.
Coleman presented his "21st Century Economic Development Plan," which he said would foster more small business start ups, fewer state and federal regulations and a more diverse economy, beginning at the local level. He said he would divulge specifics of his plan as the governor's race unfolds.
"Our new economic development model will not be dependent upon what the U.S., the U.N. or even the state tells us what to do," Coleman told about 30 supporters at a state Capitol news conference. "Our communities will lead, and the state's economic development institutions will follow."

I made this cake yesterday for a friend's birthday. I sure wanted a piece. The frosting looks kind of gross in that picture. It would have looked better with a piece cut out of it maybe. Hmm.
I went to see the tax lady this afternoon to finalize our taxes. It is done. What an ass-whippin. Before that I bought some La Roche-Posay Rosaliac moisturizer on eBay for lots cheaper than from any other website I found. I got a free sample last of it last time I ordered from Sephora, and I really like it.
I haven't received my cheap-o glasses that I told y'all I ordered. I looked online, and they left Hong-Kong on the 24th. Good Lord. It must cost more than they profited to mail the stupid things from Hong Kong. They were only $15.
Oh, I just looked and I paid $8 shipping. I can't wait to get them and see what they're like. Here is what they look like online. I ordered green just like the picture.
I need to do laundry in the worst way, but it'll have to wait until later this evening. Right now I'm off to take a much needed nap with my dogs. I feel rather zombie-like.

The widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers will visit General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego on November 12 to christen the 689-foot dry cargo ship that bears her former husband's name.
Myrlie Evers-Williams (bio), who has continued her husband's work in civil rights, will smash a bottle of champagne against the hull of the vessel during a 9 a.m. ceremony that will be open to the public. Myrlie Louise Beasley remarried after her husband's death.
The speakers will include Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who served as governor of Evers' home state of Mississippi from 1988 to 1992.
Mabus named the ship in 2009, saying in a statement released by the Defense Department that, "At a time when our country was wrestling to end segregation and racial injustice, (Medgar) Evers led efforts to secure the right to vote for all African Americans and to integrate public facilities, schools, and restaurants. On June 12, 1963, the Mississippi native was assassinated in the driveway of his home. Evers' death prompted President John F. Kennedy to ask the Congress for a comprehensive civil rights bill."
Myrlie Evers-Williams later left Mississippi to attend college in Southern California. She went on to become a writer, activist and chairwoman of the NAACP.
The USNS Medgar Evers is the 13th of fourteen dry cargo ships that NASSCO has, or is, building for the Navy. The last ship in the line, Cesar Chavez, is currently under construction. The Medgar Evers will undergo sea trials early next year and is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in April 2012. The ship will transport everything from food and fuel to ammunition.

Covidien (NYSE:COV), a leading global provider of healthcare products, today announced the completion of enrollment in its DEFINITIVE AR (Anti-Restenosis) study. As the third study in the DEFINITIVE trial series, this randomized pilot is designed to address the challenge of preventing restenosis (re-narrowing of a blood vessel following treatment), a common occurrence in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). According to the American Heart Association, approximately eight million people in the U.S. suffer from PAD. 1 PAD affects blood vessels throughout the body. When the vessels become clogged with plaque, blood flow slows or stops. If left untreated in the legs or feet, for example, this condition can lead to severe pain when walking, gangrene and even amputation. The DEFINITIVE AR study is designed to evaluate the effect of treating a diseased vessel with a combination therapy that begins with directional atherectomy to remove plaque build-up, followed by the use of a drug-coated balloon that releases anti-proliferative medication to inhibit restenosis. As shown in the DEFINITIVE LE study, 2 directional atherectomy is effective in treating PAD without leaving a permanent implant behind. While the use of drug-coated balloons to treat PAD has demonstrated reduced vessel narrowing, there has been limited clinical study of the effectiveness of this treatment in calcified lesions. Using a directional atherectomy device to remove plaque build-up beforehand may increase how well drug-coated balloons work by improving the uniformity of drug delivery and thereby extending the amount of time the treated vessel stays open and reducing the need for subsequent treatments. "Covidien is committed to building upon the growing body of clinical evidence for the use of directional atherectomy in the treatment of complex PAD," said Mark A. Turco, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Vascular Therapies, Covidien. "We are eager to see the results of DEFINITIVE AR and to understand if this combination therapy of debulking followed by anti-restenotic therapy could lead to improved drug delivery and improved patient outcomes."

Control of our river should be in our hands
The Cowichan River is once again in trouble.
With the low snowpack and unusually dry weather, Cowichan Lake is 40 cm lower than it should be at this time of year, while the river flow is down to five cubic metres per second, well below typical July levels. If the situation does not improve, salmon populations will be devastated and the Crofton pulp mill could be forced to suspend operations.
This is not the first time drought conditions have caused major problems with the Cowichan River. In 2012, chinook salmon were trucked upstream to spawning grounds after the river flow dropped to dangerously low levels. Despite these efforts about 1,000 fish were still lost.
Part of the solution may be to boost water storage behind Cowichan Lake's weir during the spring, making more water available to increase river flows during the drier months
At the heart of the problem, however, is control over river flows and storage lies with the provincial government through the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, whose approval is required prior to any adjustments.
Concern over these issues prompted citizens group One Cowichan to press the provincial government to allow for greater local control of the Cowichan River.
One Cowichan proposes devolving water management responsibilities to the Cowichan Watershed Board — an existing body made up of representatives appointed by Cowichan Tribes, the regional district, and the federal and provincial governments.
The question is would local control lead to better management of our resources, or would decision makers at the community level simply face the same challenges?
The research in the field certainly suggests that locals are competent enough to take on the task.
In 2009, political economist Elinor Ostrom was awarded the Nobel Prize for her research on how local people can work together to sustainably manage common resources such as fresh water, arable land, forests and fisheries — even when senior levels of government are not involved.
Ostrom's work was based on 50 years of research in communities around the world. In places such as Switzerland, Kenya, Guatemala, Turkey, Nepal and Los Angeles, she found numerous examples of locals successfully managing common resources and solving their own problems, with many having done so for centuries.
According to Ostrom, these communities tend to establish their own decision-making process based on local needs and conditions, ensure those affected can participate in modifying the rules, make sure the rule-making rights of community members are respected by outside authorities, develop a system for community members to monitor behaviour, and devise a procedure for resolving disputes.
And so back to the Cowichan River. Can the locals be trusted to control such a valuable resource?
We may well be the only ones capable of managing the river sustainably during this age of worsening drought conditions and unpredictable weather patterns.

The room was very basic and a little noisy due to adjoining door to next room.
Door was locked but could hear other people chatting so little privacy.
Shower very good. Room warm and comfortable. Very good service at Breakfast and very nice food. I would stay again but maybe ask about an upgrade on room.
