Go get NTPASSWD and it has an offline registry editor. You can also use the microsoft KB article about loading the hive and editing it there. As you must be a guru I'll point what direction to go but stop short of a step by step.
The good news is their files are likely fine. Just pop in a new blank drive, reload and copy their files from the old drive then issue the bill for the work.
Hi there,
Customer changed environmental variables value by clicking on my computer, properties, advanced, environmental variables, edit (user variables), and changed Variable value to the word "windows".
Now windows gives us a blue screen and does not load from any other mode, not even from safe mode.
I tried to boot from CD in order to perform a recovery but it gives me a blue screen (pci.sys error).
I can read the hard drive on another PC, no problems.
I was wondering how to change the environmental variables back to what it was.
Thanks in advance.

Ford's Terror...Well it's not that scary
Alaska has a rainforest?
I can feel the Captain's urgency as we explore the area. We have to be out of the passage before the tide completely lowers. My adrenaline is rushing as I listen to the Captain communicate with the first mate about the tide. We do make it in time but to watch the water rush out of the passage is incredible. It is like we are whitewater rafting. I can only imagine what the first settler's thought when they explore this area by canoe...hence the name Ford's Terror.

I just head on the news that UI is going to start offering classes at 10:00pm until 1:30-2:00 am to try and stop binge drinking. Do you really think this is going to work????
WHO TV - Des Moines: Late-Night Classes On Tap at University of Iowa
Somehow I don't see their "target demographic" registering for a 1:00 am class... Maybe they should put a required class for all majors in that time slot, like Janitorial Studies 101: Sawdust usage.
LOL. Thats one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard.
Haha, if I had that freaking class I would take a bottle of Rum and Diet and get f'ed up

Melissa McCarthy's Bridesmaids Character Was Based on Guy Fieri
"I tried for a long time to get them to let me wear short, white, spiky hair."
So where did Melissa McCarthy draw her inspiration for the, uh, mannish character she plays in Bridesmaids? Food Network! As she told Conan O'Brien last night, "When I first read it, the first person I thought of was Guy Fieri." We can see it: After all, McCarthy's character's preferred attire is a Kangol hat and a bowling shirt — with pearls, naturally. "I kept trying to wear my glasses on the back of my head," she said on Conan. And "I tried for a long time to get them to let me wear short, white, spiky hair. They're like, 'You can't actually be Guy Fieri!'" Still, the resemblance is uncanny, wouldn't you say? Watch the video (and note McCarthy's excellent pronunciation of "Fieri"), straight ahead.

I've read a bit of Mark Walsh's recent book "From Lance to Landis". I think the guy has some real insight and has done a lot of good research. Even the doubters will have a good read.
I've read a bit of Mark Walsh's recent book "From Lance to Landis". I think the guy has some real insight and has done a lot of good research. Even the doubters will have a good read.
No, but I read a book by David Walsh with the same title.
It was a good read.
The author's name is David Walsh--he's a respected UK sports journalist. I read the book when it came out, and found myself depressed at the end--the sport I dearly love is clearly in a state of profound crisis. There were no new bombshells, but it serves a useful purpose in collecting the raft of circumstantial and testified evidence regarding the culture of doping in professional cycling, and the American involvement in that culture since the early 1990's.
While you can pick at individual bits of evidence here and there, the cumulative picture Walsh presents is overwhelming and damning. Of course, the Lance Strongarm acolytes will never be convinced that his seven wins were anything but immaculate. Religious beliefs resist falsification.
Walsh's book prettymuch covers it from all angles. Performance history, what each drug does, some history of doping, the people involved including one of Lance's soigneurs, its a pretty complete and damning account.
Take a close hard look at Armstrong's pre 1999 performances on big hills then fast forward and look at it after , and then do the same with Hincapie and the others around him. Then check Armstrong's body weight over his career. Almost every thing that is accepted as gospel is mostly BS, from his post cancer weight loss and better power to weight ratio to his style of riding. Pull out all your tdf footage from 1995-2006 and have a close hard look at some of these riders, no signs of doping huh? Doesn't hold up under scrutiny, not even close.
If you don't want to learn about cycling and doping cause it may ruin it for you then don't read these books, cause it will. Ive read Armstrong's books, Landis' book, and 3 doping books among others. Almost anything you really wanna know is readily available, fact is most never take the time to find out.
I recently read Lance Armstrong's War. It was nifty for me because I know so little about racing. It is hard to read it without coming to the conclusion that most of the riders, maybe all of the riders, use some kind of dope.
Drugs have always been a part of the tour and they prob always will.
I think I always knew. If you know someone that got over cancer, you know it's
a long road back. But I was a fan, still am.
But I am not a fan of the Tour the way they manage it now. I don't much care how things are managed, I just know I hate the results. Perhaps they should call it the Tour de Disqualification now. Let me know if things get better.
For all the doping deniers and Walsh critics there is an amazing in-depth interview with him on Competitor Radio (more than 2 hours in total). Really worth listening to... If it was already posted here, sorry for bringing it up again
I grew up as a kid idolising those hero's in the Tour de France, Indurain and everyone like that. It was almost a childhood dream to ride the Tour de France. The last 2 years my childhood dream which became a reality has been pissed all over by certain members of the peloton. - Bradley Wiggins 27th July 2007.
My Blog. http://onthebanking.blogspot.com/
I think before really having any sort of informed viewpoint you should read ALL of the books, then listen to the interviews here: http://www.competitorradio.com/archive.php
Never has so much nonsense been printed in one book. The entire point of the book is to accuse Lance Armstrong of cheating, yet not ONE credible witness was quoted as saying "I saw Lance Armstrong use dope"...
Instead, it was stuff like "Well, we know "A" doped, and "B" doped, and Lance beat "A" and "B", so Lance must have doped....
And, Walsh was very careful. He would quote people gossiping about Lance and speculating about Lance. But, at no point did he ever say "I personally conclude Lance doped" or even "Based on my investigation, I think Lance doped". Coward and liar that he is, he hides behind just spreading as much gossip as he can without ever directly stating his own personal opinion.
good read and I think in cycling you can say alot of this stuff is probably true. For those who say " no one saw lance armstrong use EPO" doesn't mean he didn't. no body saw Bjarne Riis but he did. I think lance fans find it hard to believe since he was sooooo much better than all of the greatest cyclist in the world who at the time many used PED and still lance blew them away on pure heart. well that " heart" was pumping some pretty thick stuff!
I like lance and i am a fan. And I don't really care if he used PEDs or not. I think that regardless the field was equal. what he did is amazing. against those amazing cyclist. Jan / Pantani / Basso - ( all dopers ) wait Basso didn't dope he just was " thinking about doping.. . . . . ..
One of the things that I didn't like about "Lance to Landis" is whenever he wrote about "LA Confidential" he never flat out stated that he was the co-author.
The only time his name and "LA Confidential" were associated was in the lawsuit LA filed against the two authers and the publisher and if you were not playing close attention it was easily missed.
"I knew the bride...."
Yeah, I read the book. My wife got it for my birthday because she thought I would like it. It was nothing but half-truths and inuendo. Sad that such a jerk is able to make money like this.
Faster than a speeding moped!
More powerful than the Santa Ana winds!
Able to bunny-hop railroad tracks in a single bound!
Common sense says if "All your peers/competitors have been busted for some form of drug use and you were smashing all of them in your hey day"
And there have been suspicions of drug by former riders who rode with you..............
I hope he didnt cheat, it would make Lance that more of a Bad *****
Do i believe he didn't cheat?......... Nope ..... It would be niave of me to think that.
There are no pacts between lions and men
I don't much like Armstrong, think Landis revealed some unsavory character traits during his doping trial, and know for a fact that drug use is a big part of this sport. I've also read several of Walsh's books and think he's a scumbag; a "journalist" of the same stripe as Michael Moore, both of whom play manipulative and deceitful games with half-truths and innuendos. I get the same feeling reading "Lance to Landis" as I do watching "Bowling for Columbine": that I am being led around by the nose, by a pseudo-clever charlatan, to a predetermined conclusion.

Resurfacing hip not for everyone
Q: You recently discussed hip replacement in your column. Shouldn't the option of hip resurfacing have been part of the discussion?
A: In the column you're referring to, a reader in his 50s asked how to time his hip replacement. I advised him to find a balance: "Operate too soon, and you'll increase your chance of revision surgery; wait too long, and you'll subject yourself to additional months and years of pain." What I told him was correct. I didn't mention an additional option, hip resurfacing, because in my opinion, its long-term success is untested.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball - the top of the femur - fits into the socket, the cup-shaped area in the pelvis called the acetabulum. In a total hip replacement, the surgeon removes the damaged surface of the socket, and also removes the femoral head and the neck of the femur. Then the surgeon replaces the surface of the socket and the top of the femur bone with artificial components.
In a hip resurfacing, the surgeon replaces the socket, as in a hip replacement. However, the surgeon keeps the femur in place, reshapes the ball on top of the femur and places an artificial cap on top of the ball. So both the ball and the socket have a new surface, but less surgery is done. Less bone is removed, and less soft tissue around the bone is injured.
That's the attraction of hip resurfacing: It's simpler and faster. Also, the recovery time is the same: three days in the hospital, followed by four to six weeks of physical therapy. Moreover, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds that the results in the few years just after surgery are similar in traditional total hip replacement and hip resurfacing. In addition, insurance pays for both procedures.
So far, so good. But now the problems start. First of all, not everyone who needs hip surgery can have hip resurfacing. "The anatomy of the hip allows you to do a total hip replacement on anyone who needs it," says my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Donald Reilly. "But not everyone has the right anatomy for hip resurfacing." That includes small women with poor bone quality and people with certain femoral head anatomies that make femur fractures more likely.
And here's the bigger problem: Traditional total hip replacement surgery has been practiced for nearly 50 years; we know a lot about the long-term results. The artificial parts of the new hip tend to last between 15 and 20 years. Hip resurfacing surgery is new enough that we really don't know how long it will last.
Finally, there's an increased risk of a particular fracture in hip resurfacing patients. And it requires a second operation - a hip replacement.

Ten-year-old Nathan Chen came out of nowhere at the 2010 U.S. Championships in Spokane, Wash., to become the youngest man, or in this instance, boy, to win the novice title in the history of the event.
He returned as the heavy favorite in 2011, and the then 11-year-old headed home with another historical title to his credit. He is the first skater in U.S. history ever to claim two consecutive crowns at the novice level.
"This time I am much more satisfied with my skating than I was the last time," Chen said. "Last year I missed a few things, and that made me work very hard so that I could show that I can do more. I was really nervous in Greensboro, but overall I felt more prepared this year."
Coach Genia Chernyshova and Chen's mother Hetty Wang decided to keep the skater at the novice level for a second season, despite his previous success.
"Last year was his first in novice and he wasn't supposed to win," Wang said. "He is just a little boy, and I didn't want him to be rushed. We thought it was in his best interests to let him develop his skating at his own pace rather than push him to move into the junior ranks before he was ready."
Following his 2010 victory, Chen was named ABC's Person of the Week and was featured in a three-minute segment in a televised broadcast, where he shared his story with the world. "I really don't know how that happened," he said. "It was fun to talk with them, and they gave me a football."
Because of his on-ice charm, Chen has become a highly sought-after performer in the United States and Asia.
Last year, the Utah native had the opportunity to skate in a show in Hangzhou, China. He was the youngest performer in the show.
"I was able to meet my grandmother, an uncle and a cousin when I was in China," Chen said. "It's really fun to travel all over to skate. Since nationals, I have skated in shows in Ohio, Illinois and Utah."
He was recently awarded the U.S. Athlete Alumni Ambassador Award. Only novice and junior skaters who have qualified for the U.S. Championships are eligible for the award, and candidates must submit essays outlining their volunteer work in their local communities.
"I just wrote about how I like to help out at my school," Chen said. "I help clean up the lunchroom and pass out things at school."
Chen will move up to the junior level next season, despite not meeting the minimum age requirement to compete at the Junior Grand Prix level. As part of his development, he has sought out jump specialist Rafael Arutunian and travels to Lake Arrowhead, Calif. from time to time to work with him.
"I am working on doing all of my triples with a triple toe on the end," Chen explained. "I am also working on triple Axels now, and have been doing them out of the harness."
He hopes to add a triple-triple to his programs next season, and his goal is to qualify for 2012 nationals.
In the meantime, the sixth grader is looking forward to his summer vacation. "I will be skating in some shows in Sun Valley again," he said. "Other than that, I will play with my brothers and ride the new bike that I got for my birthday." Chen turned 12 on May 5.

Week 16 has finally arrived, which means it's TITLE TIME! Get ready to rumble in the fake football finals this week as our season long quest for the fantasy promise land comes down to one game. Below are The Fake Football consensus staff fantasy football rankings for Week 15, so be sure to scroll through them and leave your lineup questions in the comments section. As always, ranks will be updated throughout the week as injury news is released. Good luck!
GOT IT And THANX Jeff …Fake Football Rocks!
Ppr need 2 of these.Stacy,Reggie Bush,Le'von Bell,Andre Johnson
With snow on the forecast for the packer game would you start Steve smith over James jones?
Thanx 2 Stafford's INT lost by .04 pt OUCH ..so Now for 3rd place PPR need 2 RB & 1Flex L. Bell, R. Jennings, Vereen, Todman (Luv his matchup if MJD is out?) Amendola, & Crabtree? Thanx Also Lost Cameron- gamble on R.Griffin or Zach Miller THANK YOU For All Your Time and Advice During the Year …Have a .Merry Xmas!
If MJD plays tomorrow, who do you like between Todman, J. Bell, Donald Brown for a RB 2?
Romo, Kaep, or Cousins?
Full point PPR Flex.. my options are Murray, Lacy, K Allen, and Shane Vereen…which 2 would you start? i'm leaning Murray and Lacy.
Andre Brown or Dennis Johnson? I have absolutely no idea.
Prediction time:
Wilson, Charles, Lacy, MTron, Marshall, Gates, Rice, Gostkowski, Lions vs. Foles, Forte, Todman, VJax, DJax, Griffin, Garcon, Dawson, St. Loius. .25 PPR.
So I have the KC Chiefs Defense and I'm scared that they won't produce this week against an Indy team that just doesn't give away Defensive points and I am looking at adding the Dolphins against a backup QB and no Stevie Johnson in the rain…. would you take the gamble and go with a High Risk/High reward option of Miami or would you stick with KC??? Playing for the title and need some insight??
QB- Rivers or Cutler?
Ive got Rivers, Dalton, Cutler in a 1 QB league, Ive played the lower scoring qb every week since week 9, yet Im still in it. All have nice matchups, Rivers has burned me all season, as a Bears fan I dont trust Cutler on primetime, so Im leaning towards Dalton (also have aj green). Best play?
I heard Miami Defense might be a better play than the KC Defense this week – playing for the Chip….. Would you take a flyer on the Dolphins or would you stick with the Chiefs one last time at home???
Torrey over Crabtree? Would you drop Crabtree or Ellington for Caldwell? You think that combo has more upside then having Crabtree on the mix?
Would you flex Caldwell over Torrey, Ellington, Spiller, Woodie or Andre Brown? We flex 2, if so who would you drop? I'm playing for 3rd this week.
PPR, flex Crabtree or gamble & pick up A Caldwell, flex over crab with either Torrey or Andre Brown (we flex 2).
Jordy Nelson ranking conditional on Rogers coming back or no? Would you start Torrey Smith over him if no Rogers this week?
Big Ben or Russel Wilson
Not sure if this went through….. sorry to ask it twice…
Have been riding the KC Chiefs Defense all year long but this Championship week match-up against the Colts isn't as tasty as the Detroit Lions mauling of the G-Men… do I dare stray from Chief D of 2013 and take a flyer on the Lions in a dream stream? Please advise.
Would you start the Lions Defense at home against the G-Men or stick with the Chiefs D….. at home against Indy??
D Walker or G Olsen?
Thanks guys, these rankings are always helpful. Time for daddy to get paid.
Actually, I take that back. Cousins or Rodgers?
Assuming he starts, where would you put Rodgers? Should I start him or Schaub against the Broncos this week?
Ppr. Andre Johnson or Reggie Bush as my flex?
In a ppr league … who would you start Zac Stacy or Julius Thomas….in my flex position….. I am already starting Moreno and Prater from Denver…. or would you sit Moreno and start Stacy as my #2 RB and use Julius as my Flex?
can you justify sitting Cam in a 2 QB league? I've got Dalton and Cousins as well. Tell me which one to sit… please!
Which two should I start out of Vereen, Chris Johnson, and Keenan Allen??
This is you: "Why isn't anyone visiting the week 16 staff rankings??? It's TITLE TIME!!!"
This is everyone else: "When are they going to post the week 16 staff rankings??? IT'S TITLE TIME"
Reason: Because the title STILL says WEEK 15 STAFF RANKINGS. So right now you have 2 different week 15 staff rankings up. Only reason I figured it out is because I looked at the date you posted them. You best change that if ya'll want that web traffic ya'll!
I guess the good news is, I'm the only one who you guys will be assisting until you change it…so…..
1 RB spot, 1 Flex spot, not PPR:
L. Miller
C. Patterson
D. Walker
Thanks! And YOU'RE WELCOME!!! And good luck to everyone still in it!

There is a recent thread about replacing a 42t chainring with 39t for better climbing. I have the opposite problem. I live in the Chicago area (pretty flat) and find the 39t chainring on my bike all but useless. I have a 10sp 12x25 cassette on the back and 53x39 on the front. Front and rear are both Ultegra (about four years old, 6600?). I had a bit of a hard time finding it but Lickton's has something:
Will that fit what I have even though it says "6500"? What do the 'A' and 'B' designations mean? Are there other sources for 42t Ultegra inner chainrings? I take it that with a 10sp cassette there's probably much help coming from that end of the bike, though maybe 11x21 or 11x23 would help a little.0117-42 42t inner, fits -A outer (6500)

The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled against the family of a Mount Olive High School football player who collapsed during practice and died in 2007.
Court records show 17-year-old Lonnie Magee died of a heat stroke.
The family sued the Covington County School District in 2008, alleging the school system was negligent in supervising the football program.
A trial judge dismissed part of the lawsuit but ruled there was a question of whether the school district had provided a safe environment for the players.
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled the lawsuit should have been dismissed in its entirety.

It's time to move Musto case along
Former state Sen. Robert Mellow is several months into his federal prison sentence for corruption. His former colleague, former state Sen. Raphael Musto has yet to go to trial on corruption charges, even though his federal indictment preceded Mellow's by more than a year.
Each criminal case is different, of course, in terms of the circumstances of the alleged crimes and the legal issues that must be resolved before a case can be tried.
Musto, 84, was indicted in November 2010 and in a supplemental indictment in October 2012 and is charged with three counts of fraud, two counts of bribery and two counts of making false statements to investigators. The grand jury alleged that Musto, while a senator, accepted $40,000 in cash and free construction services in exchange for supporting state funding for four development projects.
Proceedings in federal court against Musto repeatedly have been delayed due to his health issues, but Senior U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo has rejected defense motions for an indefinite postponement.
That matter has been appealed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
The appeals court should expedite the decision. A corruption case against a public official should not be allowed to wither on the vine. Rather, court proceedings should flesh out the details for the sake of a complete public record, regardless of the eventual verdict.

Success at losingWeight-loss surgery leads to improved health
Olson was told by her doctor that precautions would be taken for her safety. Olson closely followed the doctor's instructions before and after the surgery adn is extremely grateful to the Sanford Health staff and their expertise. I was on high blood pressure medicine for years. Now I'm off it and my blood pressure is normal."
Once Olson achieved her weight-loss goal, she opted for a second surgery to remove the excessive skin in her midsection. Again, she turned to Sanford Health."I'm glad I did this surgery, too. I have less back pain, and I'm rid of that horrible apron of skin that came with my first pregnancy and never went away even when I lost weight," she said. "Doctors tell me I probably added 15 years onto my life and that if I hadn't taken the weight off, I probably wouldn't be here now."
Olson lives with her husband,Wesley, on a farm south of Medina. She has learned to enjoy the little things in life, like being able to walk to their mailbox and back without becoming breathless. She can even climb with ease up into the Peterbuilt truck Wesley drives for a trucking company, and she enjoys riding along with him on 600-mile trips that would have been impossible for her in the past.
Although she continues to live with heart problems, Olson has a positive take on life. Where I am at now is just a wonderful feeling, and I appreciate every day. Weight-loss surgery is a wonderful tool, and Id recommend it to anyone.

Texas Tech track makes history during 2003 outdoor season.
Jan. 15, 2004
LUBBOCK, Texas - The years of recruiting and training fully matured during the 2003 outdoor season. Making not only a name for the program but for the University, as Tech finished in 17th at Nationals with a third place finish at regionals. After the men finished in fourth and the women in 11th at the indoor Big 12 Championships, the team was hungry for greater success during the outdoor season.
The team started out hot with 18 gold medals in the home opener, Red Raider Invitational, including eight NCAA regional qualifying marks. Half of the team's eight marks belonged to Albert Booker and Jason Young, with Booker qualifying in the 200 and 400 and Young in the hammer and discus. Field events came out strong with the other eight qualifying marks belonging to field events.
Tech next headed to the Texas Relays, a standout performance on behalf of the team. The men's sprint medley relay of Matt Stewart, Julieon Raeburn, Booker and Johnson, defended its crown with a school record 3:14.09. The repeat championship is the first school to repeat at the Texas Relays since Arkansas in 1999 and 2000. Only days after setting the school record, the sprint medley relay time was recognized as the top mark in the world giving them Big 12 Male Athletes of the Week. The team's second NCAA regional qualifying mark came from the women's 1,600-meter relay with a finish of 3:41.43. Indoor All-American Bobby Most claimed the men's pole vault title with a mark of 18'-0.5", making him only the second Red Raider in school history to win the pole vault at the Texas Relays. Honors continued to unfold as the team was ranked in a three-way tie for 17th in the first Trackwire 25 rankings of the season, the highest-ever for the Tech program in the seven-year history of the power ranking. Four Red Raiders, Most, Aki Heikkinen, Young and Johnson also earned individual rankings in the Dandy Dozen.
At the UTEP Invitational, women's records fell as Krista Grantham vaulted to a height of 11'-11.75" and Licretia Sibley raced to a 53.11 finish in the 400-meter dash. HREF="/sports/c-track/mtt/schuessler_megan00.html">Megan Schuessler claimed the women's discus with a NCAA qualifying fling of 156'-0". The team took the show to Des Moines, Iowa for the 94th Drake Relays with Young taking home a discus gold medal with a mark of 191'-4". Katie Leonard, Tech's top competitor in the 3000m steeplechase, set a new school record with a time of 11:03.76. On the final day of competition, the sprint medley relay team joined Young as 2003 Drake Relay champions while the women's sprint medley team with a school record 3:53.92, finished in second. Dwayne Benoit and Brionne Yosten joined the roster of regional qualifiers with Yosten turning in a 4:22.48 in the 1,500, the second fastest time in school history. Benoit finished in fifth with a time of 3:49.27.
Before hosting its final home meet of the season, Tech moved up to No. 15 by Trackwire with Most headlining the honors, second in the nation in the pole vault. Two field events were broken as Megan Schuessler recorded a fling of 169'-3" and Dana Rosenbladt cleared 12'-0", also earning qualifying marks.
With months of preparation behind them, the team was now set for the Big 12 Outdoor Championships. Several Red Raiders left day one with all-conference honors as Jason Young finished in second in the discus with Tracie Akerhielm and Bridget Tidwell earning all-conference honors in the 10,000m. Day two saw Tech's first Big 12 Conference title in a field event. Chad Pharis had a 7'-2.5" jump to not only record his personal best but give Tech its first title of the year. The Red Raiders finished off its conference outdoor campaign with the men turning in a 90 point finish good for fourth place, with the women turning in a 10th-place finish with 32.5 points. The team took home two more titles with Johnson defending his 800m title with a time of 1:48.13 and Most with a height of 18'-0.5" gave Tech its second Big 12 Champion in a field event. The team left conference with not only its best finish in the history of the program but 34 all-conference athletes.
Trackwire moved the team up to 16th with the men's 4x400 making an eight spot leap to third in the nation. The team entered uncharted territory as it competed at the first-ever Midwest Regional. Young continued to dominate as in the prelims, he threw a 200'-6", his first mark over 200' on the season and would go on to throw 202'-0" to become Tech's first NCAA Regional champion. Pharis left as the Midwest Region runner-up, clearing a height of 7'-1". Johnson turned in back-to-back gold finishes as he was crowned Midwest Champion in the 800 with a time of 1:47.64. The men's 4x400 relay team clocked a time of 3:03.41, a school record, but finished in second. With a time of 4:22.30 in the 1,500, Brionne Yosten finished in third. Despite running the second fastest time in the history of the 1,600 meter relay, the women's team took fourth and did not automatically qualify for Nationals but later received an at-large bid.
Within a week of heading to Nationals, the men's team jumped to No. 11 with the 1,600-meter relay team of Booker, Raeburn, Stewart and Johnson, Most, Young, Pharis and Johnson in the 800 all earning top ten spots.
The day the team had been waiting for all season, June 11, NCAA Nationals. Tech took 15 athletes to the meet, representing 12 events. The women's 1,600m relay team faced heartbreak as they ran the fastest time in school history, 3:34.95. The time ranked seventh overall in the 18-team field but the time was not high enough in its heat for the team to advance. Injury struck on day three with Most suffering a strained hamstring, unable to advance to finals. It all came down to four events, as Young, Pharis, Johnson and the men's 1,600-meter relay advanced to the finals. Young secured All-American status with a fourth-place finish flinging a mark of 194'-5". After breaking the school record for the second consecutive meet with a time of 3:03.25 in the semifinals, the 1,600m-relay team ran a 3:04.76 for a fourth place finish. Johnson in the 800 was Tech's top finisher with a 1:46.51, a split second behind Penns' Sam Burly who finished with a 1:46.50. Johnson is the first male athlete to place higher then third at the NCAA Championships in school history, turning in a silver finish.
The team made outstanding strides through out the season to elevate its success. With only losing one All-American and the addition of a highly touted recruiting class, the team should continue its journey to a National Championship.

hmm are there any alternatives to coconut oil i could try?ReplyDelete
maybe apple sauce?
Ooh, I have not had cheesecake in years and have been scared to try (or just not interested in) the tofu variety. This looks great. Spiced apples? Yes, please!ReplyDelete
Hey Nicole! I'm not sure about apple sauce, but if you want to omit the Coconut Oil try using:ReplyDelete
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Zucchini - peeled and chopped //or// 1/4 cup Banana
The texture may not be as firm without the oil, but give it a try! And please let me know how it turns out!
Hi Jessica! Thanks for the comment :)ReplyDelete
This looks AWESOME, I'm so glad you went for it. I 'll have to try this out ridiculously soon :)ReplyDelete
damn this looks goodReplyDelete
Yay! Caitlin! I'm so glad you approve!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Griffen! - xo
Wow, that looks great. I never liked traditional real-cheesecake, but I am sure that I would love this. I love making and discovering vegan versions of things that I never liked in the first place, and turning them into things I now love.ReplyDelete
But more importantly, I love everything that you do. I'm always impressed!
Sarah - can you show me what kind of tupperware container you used... you can email me a pic if you don't want to bother showing it on here.... firstname.lastname@example.com I'm definitely making this!!!ReplyDelete

Oh my... I am SO making this! I am salivating at your pics!ReplyDelete
Thanks Jana!! It's uh-maying!ReplyDelete
How long would this keep and where would you store it? ie. fridge or freezer?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Angie,Delete
This should keep for at least 1 week in the fridge and 3 (or more) weeks in the freezer.
Sarah, if I opt for the spring-form pan, what size is it. Also, do I let it sit out of the freezer b/4 I serve it or serve it frozen? ...BatShevaReplyDeleteReplies
Hi BatSheva,Delete
I'd recommend using a 9'' springform.
And yes, I'd let it sit out to thaw for 30-60 minutes if you're taking it out of the freezer.

Xavi Llorens' players comfortably beat Reocín this afternoon. They will be Superliga champions if they win a point in the last game of the season
With this victory, the women's football team maintain their three-point advantage over second place Athletic Club
Barça will face Huelva at home in the last match of the competition
SD Reocín: Yumay, Álex, Andrea, Ana, Marta, Taty, Rebeca, Eva, Andri, Rocío (Tamara, min 53) and Carla (Lucía, min 47).
FC Barcelona: Ràfols, Marta (Kenti, min 70), Meli, Ani (Olga, min 50), Melanie, Guti, Luli (Corredera, min 50), Míriam, Vicky, Sònia and Carol (Leila, min 70)
Goals: 0-1, Vicky, min 9; 0-2, Luli, min 32; 0-3, Olga, min 53; 0-4, Olga, min 62; 0-5, Olga, min 75; 0-6, Sònia, min 78, and 0-7, Leila min 86.
One more point and they'll be champions. Xavi Llorens' Barça played away to bottom-of-the-table Reocín and came away with a convincing victory. These three points are vital for FC Barcelona Women's A team, who will play the last match of the season against Sporting Huelva with the objective of clinching the title.
Two goals in the first half...
The women's football team demonstrated their superiority over the home team under the intense rain in Cantabria. Vicky opened up the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the area and Luli brought the Superliga title that much closer when she knocked in a cross from the left wing.
Halfway through the first half, Barça already were comfortably dominating the match on an irregular pitch, Reocín, on the other hand, were not fortunate in front of Ràfols' goal. Barça went to the break with a 0-2 lead.
... five goals in the second half
Olga was undoubtedly the woman of the match after she netted a hat-trick at the start of the second half. The striker took advantage of two good collective plays and a rebound from the home side's keeper to score her three goals. Barça, however, kept on pushing and Sonia scored the sixth with a beautiful chip shot; Leila, at the end of the match, scored the seventh and final goal.
The thrashing could have been worse seeing that Barça hit the woodwork five times throughout the 90 minutes. After this convincing 7-0 victory, Xavi Llorens' players are preparing for the final match of the competition. They only need one point to claim the title.

"Game of Thrones" has been monopolizing the conversation about gender roles in pop culture of late, with "Star Wars" now rising to take its place. But a few critics have picked this week to focus in on how "Mad Men" is dealing, or not dealing, with its female characters.
At Time, James Poniewozik asks, "What Have You Done With Peggy Olson?" The go-getting copywriter has been acting awfully frazzled of late, straddling the line between Hannah Horvath and a Cathy cartoon.
"Since the beginning of the series, she's often seemed to be a kind of mirror, alternative Don, and we soon saw that she, like him, was unmoored in 1969 -- except that her unmooring, apparently, was all about a man, Ted Chaough," he writes.
It's not implausible or belittling that Peggy should be a wreck, even months later -- any more than it was, say, for Don to fall to pieces over his rejection by his neighbor Sylvia last year. There problem here is that right now Angry Lovelorn Peggy is all the show is giving us. Don can be fighting for his professional life and yet still struggle in his marriage and with his kids -- hell, that's sort of what he's for. And Peggy, conversely, has wrestled with personal issues -- Abe, her pregnancy, her mother -- and thrown herself into her work at the same time. Right now, though, the balance seems badly off; what we see of Peggy at the office is refracted almost entirely through reminders that she's shattered over Ted to the point of seeming like a different person. It isn't about the show being obligated to make Peggy perfectly likable, or empowered, or happy. It is about maintaining the complexity of a character who, over six seasons, has become the de facto female lead; or, at least, if her character radically changes, providing a reason beyond, "She went through a really bad breakup last season."
At the Los Angeles Review of Books' Dear Television blog, Anne Helen Peterson takes up a lonelier cause with "In Defense of Betty Draper," sticking up for the stuck-up housewife and horror-show mom whom "Mad Men's" viewers have largely grown to hate. (NB: Petersen knows full well that it's Betty Draper Francis now, but it's hard to think of her that way.)
One of the main defenses of any abhorrent character, whether in "Game of Thrones," "True Detective," or "All in the Family," is that they're a "product of their times." This argument is usually wielded as a means of recuperating misogynistic, racist, and/or homophobic men: of course he sexually assaulted/manipulated/destroyed that woman; that's how men operated then! To some extent, I actually buy this argument: there's no "outside" of ideology, even in fictional television, and all men must wallow in the moral imperatives set forth by their narratives.
What strikes me, then, is how seldom this defense is used to exonerate unlikable women. Their actions are just as circumscribed by the ideologies that inform their cultures, but instead of explaining why they are the way they are, we call them bitches and shrews, harpies and sluts. Which is precisely why I think it's so critical to defend Betty: she is absolutely a product of pre-feminist sensibilities. All of horribleness, all of the judging -- it's all her sad, broken way of flailing against the quiet yet overwhelming disappointment of her life. She's immature; she lacks introspection -- but it's difficult to blame her when the one attempt at gaining it culminated in a man looking down her shirt and reporting her confessions directly to her husband
"Mad Men's" characters may be a product of their time, but the show is a product of ours, and as such, it walks a tricky line. In essence, the show needs to notice things its characters don't, often tweaking viewers' awareness with a precisely calibrated swivel of a character's eyes: No one spoke out against Lou Avery's casual racism in "Time Zones," but you could see it register on Dawn's face, even as she held her tongue. And some of that, at least, is going on with Peggy Olson. Her signature moment in "Field Trip," where Don Draper made his tentative return to Sterling Cooper & Partners, came when she gave her old boss a sullen welcome back: "Can't say we missed you." But the finest moment in Elisabeth Moss's performance comes much earlier, when she first hears Don has entered the office. Moss, whose talents will be on further display in "The One I Love" and "Listen Up Philip" later this year, is unparalleled in her ability to put across multiple reactions in a single shot, and when Peggy first hears Don is mere feet away, her face is less an open book than an emotional encyclopedia: She's giddy and angry and disgusted and nervous all at once. When Peggy confronts Don later, it's less because she's settled her feelings than decided on one to present to him. She's put herself up to being a bitch, so he won't see that despite the bad blood between them, she's at least a little glad to have him back.
Betty's a tougher nut to crack. Her lunch, early in "Field Trip," with her old pal Francine culminates with Betty cooly blowing smoke at her former neighbor, evidently finding the pride Francine takes in her newfound travel-agent gig distasteful. But when we first met met Betty, she was at least part career gal: Only since she signed up as Henry Francis' political trophy wife has she come around to the conservative notion that a woman should be able to fulfill herself within the bounds of the home. As such, I think it's less that she lives, as Petersen puts it, "in a world without feminism" -- although she's certainly grew up in one -- than a world defined against it. The woman's movement was up and running in 1969, and the sour looks Betty throws at her son Bobby's braless teacher tell you exactly what she thinks of it. The 1960s didn't turn out well for everyone, and Betty seems like one of the people for whom the strictures of the old order are preferable to the uncertainty of the new.
Betty was a model, whose job, like that of the ideal 1950s housewife, was, in essence, to look good. But now, she looks old, her Chanel suits more evocative of Jackie Kennedy than Patricia Nixon (to say nothing of Bella Abzug). She's noticed that her daughter, Sally, is growing up, and doesn't like it one bit, but she seems blind to the fact that Bobby's following suit. He's starting to have those feelings, even if he's confused about who to direct them towards; when Betty swigs from a pail of fresh milk at the farm, a pretty female classmate tries to catch Bobby's eye, but he's only got eyes for his mom.
None of this exactly answers the charge that what "Mad Men" is doing with Peggy and Betty is repetitive or backpedaling or both. But as Poniewozik notes, we're three episodes into what, depending on how you count, is either a seven- or 14-episode season, and no one in the business breaks a season as precisely as Matthew Weiner. It's seemed possible for a while now that "Mad Men" might do better to drop Betty altogether than keeping pulling her back in for variations on the same theme, but Peggy, at least, has frequently risked displacing Don as the show's protagonist, and if, as is hard to argue, the show has had her spinning her wheels for a few episodes, it's almost certainly because she's got places to go soon.

forgotten tribe: People with disabilities in Zimbabwe

For close to
10 years Progressio has been working with disability service organisations
in order to participate in the global and national effort to improve
the rights and livelihoods of people with disabilities. Progressio
partner organisations in Zimbabwe have included the Zimbabwe
Parents of Handicapped Children Association (ZPHCA), Batsirai
and Jairos
Jiri Association (JJA). During this period the national development
agenda has shifted towards tackling HIV and AIDS. Many international
and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have turned their
attention to the provision of services in the HIV and AIDS sector,
while the fast declining national economy also left the government
with no option but to redirect funding where it was most required.
While this shift
was greatly needed, it left many other social ills unattended to.
Among these, the disability sector was greatly overlooked and it
became almost nonexistent. Evidence of this can be found in the
lack of information about disabilities in Zimbabwe, the outdated
disability policies that are in place, the underfunded and largely
invisible national body of people with disabilities, the dysfunctional
and fragmented disability sector, and the failure to address the
growing needs of people with disabilities.
Several international
bodies have acknowledged the fact that progress had stalled on programmes
addressing the needs of people with disabilities, especially in
the developing world. This resulted in a number of initiatives designed
to bring disability issues back onto the national agendas of developing
countries. Examples include the creation of a department within
the World Bank solely responsible for disability issues. The United
Nations has also followed suit and in 1999 the African Decade of
Persons with Disabilities was launched following a recommendation
by the Organisation for African Unity. Despite these initiatives,
in Zimbabwe people with disabilities remain the forgotten tribe.
The Zimbabwe millennium development goals only mention the inclusion
of people with disabilities in relation to education. The other
seven goals do not specifically address issues pertaining to people
with disabilities.
the development needs of people with disabilities or disinvesting
from programmes that directly benefit them can be one of the most
dramatic forms of exclusion people with disabilities can face. People
with disabilities remain largely invisible in their communities,
and largely overlooked in efforts by the global development community
to improve the human welfare and living standards of millions of
the world's poor people. It is important that policy makers and
development practitioners alike acknowledge that, with roughly 10
per cent of the world's population living with some form of disability
(WHO, 1996), disability components must be built into all development
projects. Statistics on the extent of disability in Zimbabwe are
unreliable (see Section 1). However, it is common knowledge that
many people living with a disability were not born with a disability
but became disabled through accidents, other life threatening illnesses
such as diabetes, cancer, HIV and AIDS, meningitis, polio, or arthritis,
or simply as a result of old age. This reinforces the argument for
programmes to be put in place to create awareness, to enable people
with disabilities to become productive members of society, and to
generally uphold the rights of people with disabilities to good
health, education, and favourable living conditions. In Zimbabwe,
we still have a situation where a good number of disabled children
do not attend school. As they get older they continue to be dependent
on others, thus becoming an economic drain on their communities
simply because they have been denied the opportunity to contribute.
While the government
is expected to play a leading role in addressing the needs of people
with disabilities, development agencies can also play a critical
role as catalysts in ensuring enactment of laws and policies that
are favourable and aimed at improving the general situation of people
with disabilities. This report draws on the findings of a survey
conducted in 2006 by Progressio Zimbabwe in collaboration with the
National Association of Societies for the Care of the Handicapped
(NASCOH). The survey sought to collect information about the experience
of people with disabilities in Zimbabwe and their views on what
needs to be done to improve the situation. Drawing on the survey
findings, this report aims to:
Besides continuing
to focus on awareness programmes, in order to achieve these aims
it is important to consider capacity building with disability organisations
Disability specific
programmes and measures continue to be much needed in Zimbabwe,
as well as fully justified
from the perspective of development economics and human rights.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- KOLR10 stopped by Springfield's largest historic district for the Midtown Neighborhood Association's annual 4th of July Parade.
People packed the streets, decked in red, white, and blue, as dozens of cars, floats and walking groups from area organizations passed by.
Parade goers say the patriotic sights and sounds make them swell with pride.
"We love our country and we love taking part in any activities on the fourth…God Bless America," Bob Johnson, a parade spectator, said.
The parade started at Drury University and ended with a celebration that included free ice cream at Washington Park.
