I think I know what the problem is.
You gave just the right clue - unplugging PC!
Your Bios has reset to defaults & a time and day previous to your Windows 7 install (prob date = 2004).
Coz of the hidden M/soft spystuff? built into Win 7, it will refuse to start up!
The answer should be to set the time and correct day/date in your bios.
Then you will have Windows 7 back working again!
tell us how you get on!

ESPN has chosen Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth as its production headquarters for Super Bowl XLV, it was announced Wednesday.
In all, more than 80 hours of ESPN television coverage, as well as ESPN Radio shows, and other related content across ESPN's multimedia platforms will be based out of Sundance Square. All on-site telecasts will be open for free public viewing.
"I can not think of a better partner for Fort Worth than ESPN," Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief said. "Super Bowl week is going to be very special for our citizens and ESPN will add to the excitement. We welcome the ESPN team into our family."
Some of ESPN's most popular programs will originate from Sundance Square throughout the week, including daily editions of "Mike & Mike in the Morning", "SportsCenter", "NFL Live", a special three-hour edition of "Sunday NFL Countdown" on Super Bowl Sunday, and more. Chris Berman, Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, Ron Jaworski, Keyshawn Johnson, Suzy Kolber, Stuart Scott, Hannah Storm, Trey Wingo and Steve Young are among the many on-air commentators expected to be featured throughout Super Bowl week, along with top guests from the world of sports and entertainment. All shows will be open for public viewing.
"This is one of the biggest broadcasting opportunities we have ever hosted," Sundance Square developer Ed Bass said. "As the cultural heart of the city, Sundance Square offers the perfect location, availability of space, and built-in audience where ESPN can interact with our visitors. ESPN will benefit from this dynamic urban environment and Fort Worth will be showcased as a vibrant, authentic, and diverse city to millions of people across the country."
ESPN the Magazine has also chosen Fort Worth as the site for its annual NEXT event, one of Super Bowl week's top parties. ESPN the Magazine will announce the event venue later this year.
In addition, ESPN 103.3 FM will broadcast from Sundance Square during the week.
"The city and business leaders from Fort Worth and Sundance Square have welcomed ESPN with open arms, and we are thrilled that our production headquarters, ESPN The Magazine's NEXT party and other related events will originate from this world-class destination throughout the week of Super Bowl XLV," ESPN Executive Vice President John Skipper said.
Super Bowl XLV will be held at Cowboys Stadium on Feb. 6, 2011.

Efficient Coding in Visual Short-Term Memory: Evidence for an Information-Limited Capacity.
Brady, Konkle & Alvarez
Previous work on visual short-term memory (VSTM) capacity has typically used patches of color or simple features which are drawn from a uniform distribution, and estimated the capacity of VSTM to be 3-4 items (Luck & Vogel, 1997). Here, we introduce covariance information between colors, and ask if VSTM can take advantage of this redundancy to form a more efficient representation of the displays. We find that observers can successfully remember 5 colors on these displays, significantly higher than the 3 colors remembered when the displays were changed to be uniformly distributed in the final block of the experiment. We suggest that quantifying capacity in terms of number of objects remembered fails to capture factors such as object complexity or statistical redundancy, and that information theoretic measures are better suited to characterizing the capacity of VSTM. We use Huffman coding to model our data, and demonstrate that the data are consistent with a fixed VSTM capacity in bits rather than in terms of number of objects.

text: Children should be taught to understand the Jihadi mindset if they are to make sense of why people commit terrorist acts, the Archbishop of Canterbury has suggested. Speaking to an audience of headteachers, the most senior cleric in England's state church said that as society becomes increasingly secular, it is "essential" to give children a good religious education so they can understand extremists on their own terms. While many analysts prefer to explain the rise of Islamist extremism in sociological or political terms, they will never understand the religious beliefs behind the ideology. The Telegraph reports that the archbishop told the Anglican Academies and Secondary Heads Conference: "The heart of their theology – which is the heart of their propaganda, so this is the driving force – is an apocalyptic understanding of human history, not as a loose term but in its strictest technical terms: they believe that the world is about to end, that the Prophet will return with Jesus, and will defeat the western powers." "It's very difficult to understand the things that impel people to some of the dreadful actions that we have seen over the last few years unless you have some sense of religious literacy,"

Not soon after, I noticed that there was not a FAQ for one of my favorite games of all time, Hot Shots Golf. In about two days, I whipped this bad boy together, once it got posted on the internet, I did no real updating to it and worked on many of my other FAQ writting projects that I had. Well, as 2001 pasted, I had forgotten about this FAQ and all it did was collect dust. Then on January 7, I was ready to work on this FAQ as my next project, as well as about 3 other FAQs (which I have now scrapped indefinatly), but the very next day, I broke my hand in a wrestling match. Anyway, I could not type more than about 10 words a minute, so I gave up on the project, but now that my hand is out of its caste, I can at least type at a normal pace, and the Hot Shots Golf FAQ lives!!! ____________ Legal Notice ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• This FAQ is copywritten work of its author Mike Truitt.

For those of you who like to use little cheats, if you have an increadible front nine, save the game. Then if you suck, reset the game and start over from Hole 9 again. Repeat this process until you have your desired round. _______ Lessons In this menu, you can go through three different ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ tutorials that teach you everything from your basic "How to Hit the Ball" right down to some of the hardest tricks of the game. To read each one of these turorials, check out the "LESSONS" section of the FAQ. ______ Status Here, you will be able to check the best rounds and ¯¯¯¯¯¯ scores of your personalized golfer, as well as the game all together.

Before your shot, check the direction and strenght of the wind on the "wind directional indicator located on the top right corner of the screen. The strength of the wind is not known until the first shot of each hole. You estimate the wind by throwing a few strands of grass using the R2 button or by looking at the flag located on the top left corner of the screen. ••••••••••••••• Watch for the Lie (Placement of the Ball) ••••••••••••• The condition of the ground in which the ball leis is much more influential than the wind. Obviously, the slope of the ground could affect the direction in which the ball leis, but the distance the ball travels can also be influenced by the condition of the grass rough. Check the zoomed picture of the ball located on the bottom right corner of the screen, and think of the effects from the lie on the ball before you make your next shot. •• You can figure out which direction the ball will travel by examining the arrow above the ball •• The numbers below the ball indicate the amount of power you're actually going to get form your shot. The smaller the number, the shorter the distance. _______________________________________________________________________ Lesson 2 (Intermediate) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ••••••••••••••••••••••• Adjust the Hitting Power •••••••••••••••••••••• While the player is in the golf stance, press the [] button to switch shot modes. There are two types of shot modes: the power mode which allows the player to hit the ball with greater power; and the approach mode, which allows the player to hit the ball a maximum of 60 yards regardless of which club is used. Each of these modes can be used in certain situations, but both are essential to acheive a good score. •• The power mode lets you hit the ball further than normal, but the number of times is limited and the risk of hitting a bad shot increases. A number will appear above the P located at the side of the power gauge, indicating the remaining power shots left. You can use power mode anytime the ball is farther than 60 yards from the pin. •• The approach mode give a player more control and limits the total distance to 60 yards, regardless of club choice. Only when you are within 60 yards of the pin, will you be able to use approach mode. ••••••••••••••••••• Path of the Ball and Its Effect ••••••••••••••••••• By changing the position where the club strikes the ball, you can add spin to the ball, which will change the trajectory of balls flight. To do this, press the direction buttons after you've selected the power during the shot. You can use two types of spin simultaniously by pressing in a diagonal direction on the D-Pad. Hit left to make it go right, right to go left. Hit down to make the ball fly more and roll less, up to make it fly less and roll more. _______________________________________________________________________ Lesson 3 (Advanced) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Types of Clubs •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• _____________ Woods (1W-4W) Made to make the ball fly low, but travel a ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ farther distance. _____________ Irons (2I-9I) Distances change with club the lower the number, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ the farther it flies. _____________ Wedge (PW,SW) Short distances and high spin and flight ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________ ¤¤ Putters ¤¤ Used on the green ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ======================================================================= VIII CHARACTER BIO'S ======================================================================= ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Character Basics ••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Player | Ball Flight | Power | Control | Spin | --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mary | Strait | 2 | 9 | 3 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Taku | Draw | 2.5 | 8 | 4 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Yuki | Strait | 3 | 7 | 5 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sam | Draw | 4.5 | 6 | 3 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ralf | Fade | 6 | 6 | 4 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Susan | Strait | 7 | 5 | 3.5 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buzz | Fade | 8 | 4.5 | 3 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Daryl | Fade | 9.75 | 2.5 | 6 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Raul | Fade | 8 | 4 | 3 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Iceman | Strait | 9.5 | 3.5 | 5.5 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••• Character Description / Strategy ••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ MARY Telling from her stats, Mary is not a very long hitter, ¯¯¯¯ nor will she be able to stop the ball on a dime. However, she is the most acurate hitter in the game. Most people that choose to use Mary only do so for a short period of time, until they unlock a better player, or they become a better player of the game themselves. In order for you to be effective with Mary, you will need to do a few things. First, you must hit the ball full power every time. This will ensure that you will get the maximum distance out of every ball hit. Second; learn how to spin the ball correctly. Even though she is not great at it, if you master the spin techniques and how to use them, you will be able to manipulate the ball however you want to. Finally, although it may seem kind of trivial with her increadible accuracy, make sure that you hit the ball square every time that you swing. Being able to do this will allow you to master the other parts of your game without having to focus on the timing of hitting the ball square. If you ever have to face Mary, you will need to do a few simple things in order to pound her face into the ground. Power should be the essenctial part of your game. Being able to get onto Par 5's in two shots when she takes three or even four can put you one or two strokes ahead of her in just one whole. Second, you have to hit the ball acuratly. Even if you have one bad hole where you just slice the ball two or three times, she will capitalize on your mistakes and gain quite a few strokes before you know what hit you. Finally, just do not skrew up. Mary was designed to be the worst player in the game, and should you should not have too much of a challege beating her. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ TAKU Other than Mary, Taku is the only other pre-set player ¯¯¯¯ to be unlocked. Because of his power and pretty good accuracy, most people will chose him as their character that they start the game out with. Taku is the better of the two golfers in the beginning, but you will have to learn how to hit and aim with his draw. Other than that one small obsticle to overcome, Taku is a great player to start out with. If you are going to use Taku, you will need to learn how to use his draw. Depending on which hand you want him to be, you will need to start figuring out to aim a bit to the outside (due to the fact that the ball will start out going away from you and then come back towards the golfer). Using spin effectivly with Taku is more important than what it was with Mary, but it is still not neccasary to be good at it with him. If you have to face Taku in VS Mode or any other mode, you will need to keep a few things in mind. First off, since he is not a long hitter, you will need to hit the ball longer than him as often as you can. Taky is still very accurate at hitting the ball, and you can not let him take advantage of this. You must be acurate when you hit the ball. You also need to keep in mind that you are supposed to be able to beat him, so he will skrew up more often than not. There is no real need to worry about beating him, because, whenever the computer is him, they give you many chances to beat him. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ YUKI When you first unlock Yuki, she will be the best golfer ¯¯¯¯ in the game. Her power is more than the other two, and she has much better spin control without giving up too much accuracy. As soon as you unlock her, I would use Yuki instead of either Taku or Mary, simply because she is better than them, plus she hits the ball strait so you don't have to worry about figuring out the whole Fade / Draw thing and just play some golf. To be successful with Yuki, you will need to have learned to, at least somewhat, use spin with at least half of your shots. Doing this will allow you to be more agressive at the pins by being able to stop the ball instead of letting it roll. Getting longer rolls on the fairways, and better distance of your drives. As her power is slightly lower than the previous two players, you will need to hit the ball more accuratly. Normally, you will not need to worry about it because after playing for a fair amount of time, you should have the timing down to a science. In order to beat Yuki, you will need to have a golfer with better power than she has. If that is not available, then you will need to putt the ball very round. Putting will often be the difference between a round of Even Par and -7. Keeping this in mind, make sure that you know how to putt and know the course that you are playing. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ___ SAM Sam is one of those players that everybody just loves ¯¯¯ to beat. With no real distiguishing stats, he is the guy that you would love to have on your team, but, odd are, he will never start, even though he does try hard. You have to feel for the poor little guy, don't you? As far as power goes, he is the most powerful when you first get him, but after just a little bit of playing, you get players that are much better than him, no matter what strategy you use. Sam is a basic collaberation of mediocre stats that have been personified in a computer generated body with an oversized head. If you have chosen to be cheap and use the "All Characters & Courses" cheat, Sam is one of the better players to work on your basic skills. *So he does have a use* Sam has been plaqued with bad programming. For being the fourth player in the game, he does make an overwhelming amount of errors that only a beginner of the game would hit. To beat Sam, you will simply need to not make too many mistakes and just golf a round of two to three under. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ RALF Ralf is a questionable character to say the least, ¯¯¯¯ pulling flowers and doves out of his hats raises more that a few eyebrows. Anyway, Ralf is not a bad player at all. His one major plaque is his Fade. Most players have a harder time controlling their fade, than any other kind of shot. This is why I would not recomend using him unless you feel you have mastered the game, but if you are that far along, you should choose one of the better players in the game. If you started out playing Taku, it should take you very little time to adapt to playing Ralf. Their spinning abilities are almost the exact same, and their accuracy are the same. The only thing that is different about these two is Ralf is a longer hitter, and hits a fade instead of a draw, that means you will need to aim your shots on the outside of the hole on your approach shots, instead of right at the flag. In order to beat Ralf, you must first allow Ralf to beat Ralf. Ralph makes his fair share of mistakes, and it is your job to capitalize on them. If you do not, then you will loose. Staying calm and cool will really help you out. Since there are no players that are much better than him in any catagory of skill, you just have to play better than him. It is right about this point in the game when putting becomes severly important. If you do not know how to putt well, then get yourself to the Practice mode and start practicing your putting. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• _____ SUSAN Besides being the best female golfer in the game, Susan ¯¯¯¯¯ is probably the second or third best overall depending on your style. She is a long hitter, her accuracy is good, and her ball control is fair. If you are playing Hot Shots Golf with a girlfriend, then Susan is just the kind of player that she will love (or if you are a girl and want to golf as someone of the same gender, then you should choose Susan) It is fairly easy to beat just about anybody in the game using Susan, as long as you know what you are doing. Her power is better than anybody before her, so you should definatly use it to her advantage. You will also need to have the ball control mastered if you plan on using her, or just learn how to not use ball control at all. Consistancy and accuracy are must-haves whenever you play with Susan. After having played the game for this long, if you do not have these all but mastered, odds are you never will. So just hang in there and do not do anything stupid and you should do very well with her. If you were planning on beating Susan, you will need to have your "A Game" on. The computer plays her with almost perfect precision, which sets up the challenge of you actually initiating your victory. You will need to be agressive on Par 5's and on all of your fairway shots. You should also be at the point where you can not give up more than 2 or 3 bad holes in a round without having the skill to recover from them. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ BUZZ Buzz is your every day beer drinking, fun loving, ¯¯¯¯ weekend golfer. He has the ability to put is weight behind him and launch the ball further than any player that you have had to face before. Buzz is best used and loved when he is played on the mini-golf course. His expressions are funnier than anybody elses, and will leave you in tears when you see them. Other than the mini-golf Buzz is not very useful in any real sense of the word. His fade is unbearably wide and unpredictable, it is better to just play with another golfer. Just like every other player, Buzz has his advantages as well as his disadvantaes to using him. His power is better than any body elses up to the point when you get him. However, his consistancy is also one of the worst that there is in the game, and his ability to spin the ball is not much better. This means that you will need to hit the ball acuratly every time, or else you will be spending quite a bit of time in the rough, hoping to whole you next shot to save par. If you can control both his power and his acuracy, then you will have a good day on the course. If not, then I would recomend the purchase a sturdy controller. Beating Buzz is a fairly easy task, as long as you know what you are going to do. You will not need to be consistant on every shot, but make sure to are not hacking the ball left and right. You will need to hit the ball the right power more often than not. It should also be a given that you will need to putt the ball good. With all of these areas of your game in check, you will be able to beat anybody. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• _____ DARYL Looking at Daryl's stats, you will notice that he is ¯¯¯¯¯ the most powerful player in the game, and also can spin the ball more than anybody else. Daryl, although he is the strongest golfer, is probably the one of the worst players in the game. His fade is condusive to a bad shot, and his bad accuracy makes it even worse. Only somebody who can hit the ball accuratly every time should choose Daryl as their golfer. If you can control your accuracy then you will be able to fair really well. It is an absolute must that you control your accuracy. You should not worry about controlling your power because his strength will enable you to focus on the acuracy. Do I need to say it again? YOU NEED TO CONTROL YOUR ACCURACY!!! When you come up one on one against Daryl, he will be the hardest challenge in the game. It is an absolute must that you have good power. Daryl will get on any Par 5 in two shots, and will often have an easy shot at an eagle. Allowing him to do this will put you many shots down in a hurry. By this point, if you have not mastered your putting, you might want to start praticing. It is a fairly simple thing, but it can be the difference between an even par round and a round that wins a tournament. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ____ RAUL Raul is, the second most feared golfer in the Hot Shots ¯¯¯¯ Golf world. He can whack the ball a mile and can control every one of his shots. If you choose to play him, then you will have a good time beating your opponent, should you have to face him, good luck. You will need it. Raul is one tough customer. Every part of his game is in check, his power is great, he can control ony one of his shots. However, his ball control, is somewhat mediocre. If you are a person who perfers to hit trick shots instead of playing if safely, then you might not want to choose Raul very often. As long as you can figure out his fade, then there will be absolutly no reason to worry about any other golfer in the game. To beat anybody in the game, just play like you know how to and have fun. Good luck facing Raul because you are going to need it. To beat him, you will need to play with your best player on the course that you know best. Usually for me it is Course 2, but it really does not matter. Putting is the real key to success at this point. You should have no more than 25 putts in your round. If you do, then you will need to have some practice putting. This is the only way to beat him. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ______ ICEMAN Iceman is the mother of all golfers. Only the best of ¯¯¯¯¯¯ the best will be able to beat him. There is a reason that he is the last player. His high stats in every catagory are incredible. You will need to play the perfect round in order to beat him, but once you do, the rewards are endless. If you choose Iceman, then there is only one thing that you need to know to beat him.... Nothing. Play even a mediocre round and you should beat just about any opponent in the game. You whoule win tournaments left and right with him. Use you extreme power to your advantage, and follow it up with his great ball control. Iceman is the ultimate golfer. Good luck beating this guy. Should you choose to play him, you need to play perfectly. You will need to have great power and increadible consistancy, supplemented by supreme putting. If you are able to summon all the parts of your game, then you should have a chance at comming close to beating this guy. ======================================================================= X I COURSES ======================================================================= Below is a description of all five of the regular courses and the hidden course.

Kuwait: Women make political history
Five Kuwaiti women made history on Thursday by becoming the first females to register as candidates for next month's parliamentary elections, ending a 44-year-old ban on their political participation.
"It's a historic day. It's a dream come true and the actual beginning of Kuwaiti women's participation in public life," leading women's rights activist Rula Dashti told AFP after filing her documents at the election department.
Registration opened on Thursday for the June 29 election which was called on Sunday in an effort to end a serious political deadlock over an electoral reform bill. "Today, we strengthen the role of women's participation in the political life," added Dashti.
She said she would focus her campaign on economic reforms, unemployment and combatting corruption.

Focus sees it out best
Ruby Walsh conjured a late rally out of Back In Focus to deny Aupcharlie as Willie Mullins claimed a one-two in the Topaz Novice Chase at Leopardstown.
The strong-travelling Aupcharlie was going the better on the run to the final fence but he pecked slightly on landing and could not pull far enough clear of his nearest pursuer.
Walsh kept at the Graham Wylie-owned seven-year-old on the long run-in and the 6-4 favourite battled on bravely to get up close home to score by a head. Texas Jack was third.
Mount Benbulben was pulled up after making a bad mistake as the field went out for the final circuit, while Tony McCoy's partner Jenari fell at the following fence and Lyreen Legend came down three out.
Mullins said: "That's a fantastic win. We didn't think for one minute that Ruby would get back up until he did. He needs every inch of three miles and ground even softer that that. He's a real winter horse.
"As much as I'm delighted I'm sorry for Aupcharlie and Andrew Lynch. It was only his second run over fences and he's run a fantastic race.
"Back In Focus has the RSA written all over him. We'll look for a race over three miles for him.
"With Aupcharlie we could look for the Dr P.J Moriarty. We'll keep them apart. There is no point in them taking each other on again. Aupcharlie could be a horse for the Jewson. The way he jumped he could even come back to the minimum trip. They are two horses to look forward to."
Stan James cut Back In Focus to 12-1 from 16s for the RSA, with Aupcharlie 10-1 from 16-1 for the Jewson Novices' Chase.
Spokesman Joseph Burke said: "Back In Focus proved he's all about stamina after he just got up to prevail by a head on the line from stablemate Aupcharlie, who appeared to just run out of steam. Willie Mullins won the Jewson last season with Sir Des Champs."

Player Injury Reports
Adrian Peterson Won't Play Against Falcons Sunday.
The only things worse then losing a close game is ultimately losing the game AND your star running back. Adrian Peterson last week left the game against Oakland in the first quarter with what we now know is a high ankle sprain. Despite Peterson saying he wanted to play Sunday we have now received word that Adrian Peterson did NOT travel with the team to face the Atlanta Falcons tomorrow at 12:00pm Central time.
With Adrian out of the game it is assumed that Toby Gerhert will receive the bulk of the carries with Percy Harvin and Lorenzo Booker giving him breathers throughout the game. Many Vikings fans could argue that Adrian Peterson was the only bright spot on a team that is ultimately struggling this season. It should be extremely interesting to see how Christian Ponder and the rest of the team plays Atlanta considering they have no run threat.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Bank of America settled one lawsuit and faced another as New York state said it would take bank executives to court over its purchase of Merrill Lynch.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said former Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Lewis, now retired, and former Chief Financial Officer Joseph Price "engaged in a concerted effort to deceive shareholders and American taxpayers."
Lewis and Price were aware Merrill Lynch had $16 billion in losses and that "additional losses were forthcoming," the state attorney general's office said in a release. However, the bank executives "chose not to disclose" this information to shareholders before they approved the purchase of Merrill Lynch in a December 2008 vote.
Cuomo said the "arrogant scheme" included a pre-arranged deal with the federal government in which a threat to back out of the Merrill Lynch deal was leveraged to secure $20 billion in bailout funding.
Bank of America said in its own release that it agreed to pay shareholders $150 million to settle a case brought against it by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission involving the same allegations.
The settlement must be approved by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in New York, who rejected a $33 million settlement last year as too small and punitive toward shareholders, who were the victims in the case.

Rigell, Buffett find common ground
Rep. Scott Rigell is a conservative freshman Republican making roughly $174,000 a year. Warren Buffett is billionaire who wants to raise taxes on the rich.
From the outside, it would seem they wouldn't have much in common. But on Monday, the two had a meeting of the minds in Omaha, Nebraska, where Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, is located.
Over a simple breakfast of English muffins and oatmeal, Rigell (R-Va.) and Buffett found that they agreed on an awful lot regarding the nation's fiscal future.
"As a businessman, I have a hard time understanding how we can run this country on only 16.9 [percent] of revenue," Rigell told POLITICO. "And while we might not agree on the exact numbers, or exactly how to get there, Warren—as he asked me to call him—felt very much the same the way. We both feel strongly that serious reforms are needed to bring down the national deficit."
Buffett agreed the two were not far apart on the issues.
"He and I in the first five minutes found we were within fractions of a point virtually. We both feel that we can tolerate a very small gap between the two, but we know that we need more revenues and we know that we have to bring down expenses," Buffett said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
The two came together after Buffett told Time magazine he'd match dollar for dollar any contribution a Republican member of Congress gave towards paying down the national debt. As it happens, Rigell had already given 15 percent of salary, or around $23,000 last year, for this very purpose.
In a letter to Buffett, Rigell wrote that he'd happily take the billionaire up the offer and also noted his estimated contribution for 2012 would be around $26,100. Buffett wrote back saying he'd match both years, and extended the invite for a sit down.
"As you say, we may differ on tax policy, but we almost certainly agree on the necessity to dramatically reduce the deficit soon," Buffett wrote.
Rigell noted that paid his own way to fly to Nebraska and meet with Buffett. He was back in D.C. in time for House votes Monday night.

When I was a teenager, my teachers sort of gave up on me. I don't say that from a victim standpoint; more as a matter of fact. As a teacher now, I understand how it feels to just not know what to do with some students. After pondering this for 12+ years, I have concluded that the reason is because I was so right-brain dominant in the way I learned concepts. I had absolutely no comprehension of Math and Science formulas. None. Reading Comprehension? I just couldn't get it. I read books all the time, but when my English teachers tested me on the "correct" interpretation of literature, I failed. Of course, we all know that Music Theory is heavily based on Math concepts, so of course, I struggled with that too. I think this puzzled my teachers to the point of quitting because I was really very talented in the arts. It was clear I wasn't stupid. I was talented, but my academic gifts were little to none. I could sing better than most of my classmates, I could pass all the dance auditions, got lead roles in plays, and I could also draw pretty good portraits. I also barely passed high school with a low C average. While I enjoyed all of these creative activities, I really wanted to understand the concepts that my left-brain dominate classmates were effortlessly putting into their repetoir. It bothered me that some teachers were annoyed at my inability to learn certain things and would sort of assume that there was nothing to be done about it.
Now, after completing a very Left-Brain dominant college degree in Sociology, my brain is more balanced and I can understand how both Left-Brain and Right-Brain learners think. This has been a huge help to me as a music teacher. Learning how to identify a Right-Brain learner in a music lesson is very important. Left-Brain learners are very easy to teach. You tell them a Music Theory concept once, and they usually get it. Ahhhh. Aren't those the best lessons? I know I love them. But the Right-Brain learners? Even though I know how it feels to be one, I still get frustrated!
Right Brain Vs. Left Brain
Since the easiest students to teach are the Left-Brain thinkers, I want to talk more about the Right-Brainers. They need the most help from us. For a Left-Brain thinker, all I can say is this: Enjoy the ease of teaching them technique, sight-reading, and theory. Spend a little time each week developing their creative side. Be sure to help them learn improvising and composing, so they become well rounded musicians.
A Right-Brain dominant learner is dreamy, imaginative, and creative. Because of their active imaginations, they can have a hard time staying focused on what you are saying. In their heads they are probably thinking about all the fun things they are going to do after their lessons. Those activities could include playing pretend, playing with toys, drawing, playing the piano without any rules, dancing, singing, or making up stories. The Right-Brain learner is a creative bubble who just needs a little patience. You also have to grab their attention by speaking their language.
In my experience, A Right-Brain dominant learner will be the first student to quit after only 1 or 2 lessons. They're smart enough to know when they are getting into something that they are not capable of understanding. If you can identify this type of student immediately, you can grab their attention by putting away the method books, and beginning with play. My favorite first activity is to teach them that all of the black keys on the piano sound good together. I encourage them to let their fingers "dance" on the keys in any way they want. When they like a sound, try to remember it and do it again. It's fun to watch their faces light up when they discover that they are really making music.
If it goes well, we might move on to copycat on the black keys. I play a simple rhythm. They copy. They are learning how to hear beats and coordinate their fingers. Since they are the Imaginative types, I will play on that for a little while. I teach them how when you play towards the right side of the keyboard, the notes get higher. I might say something like, "When you think of birds singing, are they usually up high in the sky? Or down low on the ground?" (I will usually play high keys when I say the word "high" and low keys when I say the word "low.") Of course they know the answer is high, so then I tell them to make some bird sounds on the high keys. Then I might say something like, "Suppose the bird wants to fly down to the ground to eat some food." Then I let my fingers dance down to the low keys, and the student copies.
I might spend a few weeks doing creative lessons like this before I even attempt to teach note reading. That's ok. Eventually, all of my students learn how to read music. I attract a lot of Right-Brain learners, so most of my students play better than they read, but they do read eventually. The key is patience and creativity.
Lately I have been reading a lot of literature on this subject, and if it interests you, here is a reading list for you to consider:
"The Alphabet Verses the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image" by Leonard Shlain
"This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" by Daniel Levitin
"A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the World" by Daniel Pink

Malone facing stiff competition
Malone will be targeting a record sixth win in the Belfast Telegraph foursomes beginning there on Sunday, but Down Royal, last year's beaten finalists, and four-time champions, Clandeboye, are conspicuous by their absence from a line-up of 35 clubs.
Trevor Moore and Gary Leckey, both seven-handicap golfers, will be making the 175-mile round-trip from City of Derry to play in the event for the first time, and, as usual, there'll be a strong challenge from Dungannon, Scrabo and 2004 winners, Kirkistown Castle.
It's on their home course that John Reid, a Belfast architect, and Geoff Cameron are first-time partners in this Club Orange-sponsored marathon.
"The card-and-pencil stage is always the toughest," says Nick Agate, manager of Malone, who are hosting the tournament for the eighth year running.

A PUB manageress has been fined £2000 for letting a football match be shown in her bar.
The company which ran the Avalon Bar in Kent Road, Glasgow, was also fined £5000 over the screening, which defied a court order.
A judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh heard that customers were watching Scotland's World Cup qualifier against Belgium.
But just two hours earlier, manageress Sarah McIntosh had been served with legal papers telling her BSkyB had obtained an interdict. Her dad, David McIntosh, as director and sole shareholder of the company, was also served with the order.
They were ordered to appear in court personally where judge Lord Glennie could have imposed a jail sentence for contempt of court.
BSkyB claimed their copyright had been breached because the pub did not have a viewing card to entitle them to show the broadcasts commercially.

Jeremy Hobson: A group of climate activists -- including five teenagers -- are suing the federal government. They head to court today using an unusual legal strategy to fight greenhouse gas emissions.
Marketplace's Eve Troeh reports.
Eve Troeh: Meet lead plaintiff Alec Loorz.
Alec Loorz: I'm 17 years old and I'm a climate change activist.
Here he is in a YouTube video about his lawsuit.
Loorz: This is not about politics or money, this is about the survival of my generation.
Loorz and four other teens say current levels of greenhouse gas pollution violate their right to a healthy environment in the future.
Vicki Arroyo: Saying, wait a minute, you've essentially used up some of the resources we need.
Vicki Arroyo directs the Georgetown Law Climate Center. She says the case uses something called public trust doctrine to demand the U.S. cut carbon emissions by 6 percent a year. A decision in their favor would mean using a lot less oil and gas, right away.
Industy lobbyists say the power to dictate that sits with the Environmental Protection Agency, not a judge. Michael Gerrard at Columbia's Center for Climate Change Law says the court will likely agree.
Michael Gerrard: This is a major longshot.
He says Congress authorized the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases, not courts. But it's because Congress failed to pass climate change legislation that these kids are in court to begin with.
I'm Eve Troeh for Marketplace.

Phones 4u has been hard at work since last September 'transforming' stores at lightning speed to create a new look and image. Not only are staff benefitting, but customers are noticing as well.Phones 4u retail development director, John Welsh walks Mobile through the changes and explains the thinking behind it all.It's a grey morning in central London and work has just been completed in one of the retailer's Oxford Street shops down by Tottenham Court Road. Another store towards Marble Arch is being completed today. Welsh explains that the process is tough and the operational team involved is working at full capacity to ensure all goes to plan.He says: 'We will have 197 stores completed today and it is our intention to have all the stores done by the end of July. We have been refreshing around 18 shops a week on average.'Multimillion-pound processPhones 4u has kept tight-lipped about how much it is spending on the refresh, but it has said it is a 'multimillion-pound' process.It is making a huge investment, which some might question the timing of. But Welsh believes the time is right, and so does Phones 4u's board. He says: 'The board recognised that we were overdue to bring the standard up to scratch. It is very difficult to drive a strong store standard when the in-store experience is not up to scratch.'The new design of the stores is not a radical departure from Phones 4u's bold style and statement. However, the outlets are toned down and have a slicker feel to them. Welsh explains: 'I wanted to keep the landing and desking area, but I wanted stores that are more contemporary; to make the product a hero and to get theatre into the store.'The aim of the refresh was to have a much more 'contemporary' feel. To achieve that, several new elements have been introduced to the stores as well as existing features being refreshed.Three stores – the Trafford store and two Currys stores – now have interactive demo hubs. The hubs allow staffers to demo a handset while being filmed and it is shown on two screens.However, the retailer has bigger ambitions for it. Welsh says: 'We want to test it with staff and customers first. The screens will run content via Wi-Fi in-store and we want there to be the ability to plug phones in to a TV-out.'On top of that, there is a TV display in shop windows that will have key promotions running on it all day and through the night when the shops close.And there is a significant increase in the number of bays where products can be displayed.'We have had an average increase in selling space of 30%, eight bays have gone to 10.5 or 11 bays,' says Welsh.Technology appears to be the theme in the refresh. There is no logo or colour changes, everything that is taking place is much more subtle – not a word usually associated with the retailer.Even the walls have been decorated with a technology theme, new white wallpaper with outlines of handsets, laptops and dongles. The wallpaper replaces primary blue walls and the ceiling is painted white instead of red. Lots of little changes are being implemented to show Phones 4u as a tech savvy retailer.Future-proofIt seems as if the retailer is preparing itself as fully as possible for the future. As products become more sophisticated, Phones 4u is carrying out simple changes that will allow them to give maximum impact.For example, the new display units now have power points that will allow Phones 4u the flexibility to display products in an interactive way if it needs to.However, despite a trend for live handsets in mobile retail stores, Phones 4u continues to shy away from the trend. Welsh says: 'No, we don't have live handsets because the sales process means that the demo is done on the desk.'Welsh is keen to send out the message that Phones 4u staff are experts in their field. One way that is being done is through the use of the 'back wall solution' where common consumer questions have been placed. The idea being that customers will know that they can ask those questions and staff will know the answers.As an independent retailer on the high street, Welsh says: 'We are deliberately not like network stores. We are future-proofing our units and stores and the team that has worked on it from an operational side and POS have done a fantastic job.'Phones 4u is up against increasing competition in the technology market. But, the moves and the sounds it is making show that it is still looking for ways to innovate, and looking towards its future.The reaction from the store staff in the Oxford Street stores is enthusiastic, and the consultative process with managers indicates that this is not a top-down initiative, but one that encompasses the whole company.

A handful of prominent Republicans confirm they are running for the GOP nomination in Senate District 22 seat during tonight's special convention. The slot opened due to the passing of Iowa State Senator Pat Ward last month.
The winner of tonight's nominating convention will face Democrat Desmund Adams in a special election on December 11. Following Tuesday's election results, Democrats hold a 26-23 majority entering the 2013 legislative session. Ward and Adams were on the ballot on Tuesday, with the late senator garnering 19,019 votes to 14,570 for Adams. Those results will not be certified.
TheIowaRepublican.com attempted to contact all the candidates that are known to have expressed interest in the seat. As we mentioned last week, Pat Ward's primary opponent, Jeff Mullen, is not running. Newly elected Iowa House representative Rob Taylor dispelled rumors that he was interested in running for the senate seat. Both Mullen and Taylor are delegates for the convention. Windsor Heights Pastor Terry Amman has also opted not to run, according to our sources.
64 central committee members from Polk and Dallas counties who live in Senate District 22 will select the Republican nominee. The district includes Waukee, Clive, Windsor Heights and part of West Des Moines.
The nominating convention takes place at 7pm tonight at Republican Party of Iowa headquarters. TIR will be there, providing a live blog of the proceedings.
Here is a brief overview of each known candidate's background, and what compelled them to run for the seat. They are listed alphabetically by last name:
Scott Cirksena
The current mayor of Clive, Cirksena has spent the last 10 years on the city council. Cirksena is also employed as a Senior District Sales Manager for Kenworth Truck Company. He has extensive involvement serving on several boards and associations, including the Governor's Transportation 2020 Commission and he chaired the 2030 land use plan for the Des Moines metro area.
"I've had the opportunity to really represent the citizens of the city of Clive, but also the greater metro region on various things, whether it be economic development, opportunities with our congressional delegation, and working with the Metro Advisory Council to partner with the legislature," Cirksena said.
"What that means is that I've been out here serving and leading out here in our community. I get excited about that. I have a young family. I was born and raised in West Des Moines and it's been an honor to serve in the city of Clive for nearly 10 years. That background gives me excitement about continuing to serve the area and being the nominee."
Greg Hudson (updated)
Hudson is a social studies teacher at WDM Valley High School. He is a conservative activist and has been a member of the Dallas County GOP central committee for the last five years. Hudson's wife Kelsey is also a teacher at Valley and she graduated from the school in 2002. They have never been members of the teachers' union. The Hudsons also teach history at DMACC West campus. Along with being a candidate, Greg Hudson is one of the delegates for tonight's special convention.
"I'm running for two reasons: Education and the youth vote," Hudson said. "As a teacher at Valley, I understand the current needs of students and the needs of our educational system. Democrats believe they have a monopoly on education issues. Why? It's partially because we have few Republican educators in the statehouse. I would change that with a fresh, conservative educational perspective, which is greatly needed."
"Also, our presidential candidate was decimated by the youth vote on Tuesday by a margin of over 20%. Our party desperately needs better youth outreach. I work with high school and college students every day and I would be an affable, enthusiastic voice for a youth voter outreach."
Isaiah McGee
McGee is a former city councilman in Waukee and a conservative activist. He is a former member of the Republican state central committee, a former teacher, a former executive board member for the Greater Des Moines Partnership, and a cabinet-level appointee by Governor Branstad. McGee was in charge of the Iowa GOP's early voting program in the successful 2010 elections.
"As I look at this race and I look at the candidates who have been mentioned as well as our Democrat opponent, I don't see anyone who was the same breadth of experience or depth of knowledge at the community, political, business and policy levels that I bring to the table," McGee said.
"The other factor would be, I don't see another candidate who has the experience and the ability to unify different factions of the party and blend the Polk and Dallas county lines. I believe I'm in a unique position to match-up pound for pound with Mr. Adams. Also, I can hit the ground running on day one with relationships already established with all stakeholders in the Capitol. "
Connie Schmett
Schmett is a lifelong Iowa resident and longtime Republican activist. She grew up on a farm in Runnells, attended Iowa State University and has been a successful small business owner. Schmett was appointed by President Bush to serve on the Kennedy Center Board in Washington, D.C. She is the current president of Mentor Iowa, has served on several boards as a Branstad appointee and is involved in many civic activities. Schmett is also a former staffer for Governor Branstad, during his previous tenure at Terrace Hill.
"I served on the governor's staff and when I was there, I saw how the laws were made. I worked with the administrative rules and with the constituency services. I have a passion for solving problems and helping people. You can do it more effectively when you have the tools to work with and that's why I am interested in running. I want to make a difference in people's lives," Schmett said.
"I want to unify my party. We need to pull together and be on the same page. If you're not, you lose and I think we saw that on Tuesday. I want to reach across the aisle. I'm not going to say, 'I'm not going to vote for that piece of legislation because I can't get the whole piece.' We've got to learn to negotiate. We've got to learn to work with people."
Charles Schneider
Currently in his second term on the West Des Moines city council, Schneider grew up in Iowa and attended Dowling Catholic High School before graduating from Newton HS. He earned law and MBA degrees from the University of Iowa. Schneider is counsel for Principal Financial Group, where he has worked since 2007. He has also served on numerous committees and boards in central Iowa.
Schneider noted that he currently represents 18,000 people in the senate district, has proven campaign ability and has more than $20,000 in his city council campaign account that he could rollover to his Iowa Senate campaign account.
"The main reason I'm interested is the same reason I was interested in serving on the West Des Moines city council. I want to help Iowa grow and create jobs and make this less of a brain drain state and more of a brain gain state," Schneider said. "I thought I'd have a positive impact and I'd just like to be able to apply what I've learned at the city council level to the state level."
John Ward
Ward is the widower of State Senator Pat Ward. He publicly announced his intentions to run for the seat last week. Ward is a former West Des Moines school board president and is the current president and CEO of Sullivan & Ward, PC, a West Des Moines law firm. He graduated from Drake University Law School and is a lifelong resident of Iowa.
Ward said he plans to champion the issues that his late wife cared about, primarily economic growth and education.
"Pat was very much involved in trying to get more jobs in the district and improve employment wherever possible," he told Patch last week. "She was active in getting property tax reforms through, as well as a number of other things she worked on. We talked about a lot of the issues and we were pretty much on same page as far as our philosophies.
"It's been difficult and obviously I've talked to a lot of people and thought carefully about it. I think it's something Pat would approve of and it gives me an opportunity to carry on with the legislation."

text: I make a lot of log cabin quilts and the key is to square up each time you sew a row. I use graph paper to draw out my first block the size it should be. When you use a diamond shape there is a chance of stretching the bias edges, don't pull as you sew, pin and trim. If you are using a 2 inch center and add 1 1/2" logs around it you should end up after 1st row @ 4 inches. hope it helps. Betty
