Through the 2009 season, current Browns GM Tom Heckert had built up a stellar reputation working in the Philadelphia Eagles' front office, and when he finally got his shot as a higher position, it was as the middleman in a sense -- perhaps as the intermediary between Team President Mike Holmgren and Head Coach Eric Mangini. With two guys used to calling the shots in either side of him, Heckert spent a but on his podium time at the Scouting Combine talking about the process.
"He's been great," Heckert said of Mangini. "I think Mike said it right from the beginning, it's going to be an organizational decision on almost everything we do. Now Eric's involved in it, I'm involved in it and Mike's involved in it. I don't know why he wouldn't be happy with that situation."
Perhaps because he was used to more organizational control in previous coaching incarnations, but that's a thing of the past -- at least for now. And Heckert doesn't have time to worry about who's getting warm fuzzies; he's got to deal with the personnel holes that come with a 5-11 season. First, of course, is the ongoing quarterback conundrum. When asked about the decision, and how Anderson's upcoming roster bonus affects it, Heckert begged off. It depends. "We haven't made any final decisions on either of our quarterbacks," he said. "We have some time here. We wanted to see what was here, and what's available in free agency and we'll make a decision based on all the things we can evaluate from."
About the Anderson decision, he said that "We're still talking about that. We'll get back (to Cleveland) Tuesday, I'm sure Wednesday we'll get together and make those decisions. But it will come right down to the wire.
With a supreme quarterback evaluator in Holmgren, Heckert was asked if the Browns were averse to going for another first-round quarterback. Taking an early (seventh) pick in what many consider to be a depressed class at the position is a risky move with so many other needs -- especially if Sam Bradford's shoulder and new physique propel him up to first overall. One interesting thing the Browns are doing, according to Holmgren, is flying any potential quarterbacks they like out to Cleveland as opposed to going through the rote speed-dating service provided by the Combine process. Freeze-dried answers in 15-minute bites? That doesn't really do the job. Heckert seemed interested in the abstract, but he could very well have been engaging in the same coached conversation his team is trying to avoid.
"I don't think we're closing the door on anything," he said of the first-overall notion. "We're not shutting the door on moving up or even moving back. We're listening to a lot of different teams. Obviously it's still early. We have talked to teams about moving up and moving back. We're not closing the door on any position." He was also asked about Bradford's specific attributes. "He's a heckuva football player. I think there's a feel for the draft. Everybody wants to say he's a franchise (quarterback), but until he does it, you never know. He's a big kid, he's accurate, he won a lot of football games. He's a leader. That pretty much sums it up. He has all the tools to put it together. Whether it happens, you never know."
More specifically, Heckert was asked whether Mangini's experience at coaching and evaluating 3-4 personnel, as opposed to the 4-3 team backgrounds that Heckert and Holmgren share, would put Mangini's opinion on a slightly higher shelf when it comes to Cleveland's next two-gap nose tackle or inside linebacker. Heckert went back to the symbiosis the franchise is trying to perpetuate from top to bottom. We're going to be a 3-4 defense, there's no question about that. I understand the 3-4, I haven't been a part of it, but I understand how that goes. It's going to be the same situation with anything we do."
Finally, while it's generally difficult to get a sense of which players a team is looking out for at the Combine, Hillsdale offensive tackle Jared Veldheer should be on every Browns fan's watch list. Why? Heckert also went to Hillsdale, and he's had his eye on the talented and highly regarded player for a while. "I really do," Heckert said, when asked if he had a soft spot for Veldheer. "He's going to be a drafted player. I don't know if there has been a drafted player coming out of Hillsdale, I don't think there has been. That's obviously exciting. I've talked to him. I tried to meet him here last night, but I never got around to it. I talked to his parents about the whole process. This is an exciting time for the school because he's a big-time player."
As a taller, quicker player, Veldheer fits the prototype of the Brown's line at this time, through Heckert and Holmgren generally prefer more power in their technicians. But who knows? There have been worse tie-breakers in selecting a player, and as Heckert starts to put a stamp on his new team, perhaps that's one way to do it.

Emerging Markets Morning Roundup: India Has A New Rock Star Governor; Rupee, SENSEX Rallied
India has a new central bank governor, Raghuram Rajan, an IMF ex-Chief Economist, an Economics professor from the University of Chicago, my alma mater. Indian rupee rallied today, gaining 1.4%.
Dr. Rajan unleashed a series of banking measures aimed at stabilizing rupee in the short-term. Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts Claudio Piron and Albert Leung have the details:
RBI opens a FX swap window for foreign currency non-resident deposits for three years or longer. This allows onshore banks to synthetically borrow INR at 8.5% - 9%, much lower than the market rate of 11% -11.5%.
We believe the 3.5% subsidized rate is attractive enough. This should give incentive for banks to offer USD deposits to offshore investors at the current cap of L+400bps. The scheme should bring in close to $10bn of FX and stabilize INR at around current levels of 65-66 . At the same time, domestic interest rates should come off as banks' INR funding costs are now lower.
Dr. Rajan also wants to open up the banking sector. Wall Street Journal reports:
The RBI also doubled the amount of money that Indian banks can raise through overseas bonds.
He said in the next five months, the RBI would announce names of companies that would be given licenses to start new banks. India had announced three years ago that it would allow industrial groups and state-run companies to set up banks. Twenty-six companies have applied for new bank licenses
S&P BSE SENSEX Index rallied 2.2% - not surprisingly - led by banks. ICICI Bank (IBN) gained 8.8%.
But Dr. Rajan is not superman. The fiscal side has to be responsible and responsive too. The general election is coming next May. Let's wait and see.
China also wants to modernize the financial sector. It re-opened bond futures trading 18 years after a $10 billion trading scandal. Investors have been clamoring for the futures market to re-open to protect themselves against large swings in the bond market.
Is China heading towards a steel rally this year? "The overcapacity that everybody was so worried about is turning out to be moot because 2013 is shaping up as a record year for steel demand," Bloomberg reports. Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index lost 0.2%. Hong Kong Hang Seng Index gained 1.2%,
Indonesian rupiah continued to lose ground, falling 2.1%. Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index lost another 0.6%.
Emerging Markets Stocks in the News:
HTC Corp. (HTCKF)'s shares fell another intraday low following news that its August revenue fell 45% from a year ago. Analysts now expect HTC to book a full-year loss this year, its first since it went public ten years ago.
A fire broke out at South Korean chip maker SK Hynix (000660KS) 's China factory. This factory produces half of the company's DRAM chips.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Fired from 'The View?' [VIDEO] Joins 'Fox & Friends' in September; Gretchen Carlson Leaving Fox News to Anchor Own Daytime Show, Barbara Walters Praises
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is leaving "The View" and joining "Fox & Friends" in the fall while Gretchen Wilson is moving up and on with her career. But there has been speculation that Hasselbeck was maybe fired.
In a Fox News Channel statement, Hasselbeck will leave "The View" after 10 years of working there and will join co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade for the morning news show "Fox & Friends" in mid-September.
"Elisabeth's warm and engaging personality made her a star on The View. She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise," said FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes.
Hasselbeck added, "I have been a long-time fan of Fox & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in September as it is an honor to call the FOX News Channel my new television home."
"The View" creator Barbara Walters also had kind words for Hasselbeck: "We have had ten wonderful years with Elisabeth and she will now be swimming in new waters. We will miss her and wish her everything good."
Carlson confirmed on Wednesday morning on "Fox & Friends" that she was leaving to anchor her own one-hour daytime problem beginning in early fall.
"I'm going to move forward in my career," she said, "moving on to the afternoons here at Fox and hosting my own show coming up in September."
"Congratulations, Gretch," Doocy said. "We know you work really hard and it shows each and every morning."
Doocy added that Hasselbeck will be replacing Carlson and that Wednesday was her last day on "The View."
"We look forward to welcoming her here as well," Carlson said.
In the press release, Ailes said of Carlson's move to daytime, "Gretchen's contribution to FOX & Friends is well-known and her strong interviewing skills make her a natural fit for our daytime programming."
Carlson, who joined "Fox & Friends" in 2005, added, "I am excited to further advance my career and am thrilled to have the opportunity to host my own show in daytime and look forward to showcasing my skills as an interviewer and journalist in a more in depth manner."
What do you think of the two moves? Sound off below!

200 D.C. property owners face fines for missing benchmarking data
Roughly 200 of D.C.'s commercial property owners face a choice — turn in their energy and water benchmarking data, or pay a substantial fine.
The last-ditch deadline for benchmarking submissions is Nov. 8 (the initial deadline was April 1). Of the 1,000-some privately owned buildings of more than 100,000 square feet subject to the law, 80 percent have been benchmarked, according to the D.C. Department of the Environment.
That means about 200 buildings are missing. Once the Nov. 8 deadline passes, those property owners will have a 30-day warning period, after which fines will accrue at $100 per day until the District gets its numbers.
Need to know whether your building is on the list? Find out here.
All privately owned buildings 200,000 square feet or larger were to have to provided benchmarking data on April 1 for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Buildings 150,000 to 199,999 square feet were to have submitted 2011 and 2012 data, and buildings between 100,000 and 149,999 square feet were to supply only 2012 data.
Buildings between 50,000 and 99,000 square feet are off the hook for 2013, but will have to submit in 2014.
The D.C. Sustainable Energy Utility has hosted 11 hands-on benchmarking training sessions and fielded more than 1,000 requests for help through email and a benchmarking hotline. That said, the compliance rate has only improved by about 10 percent since April 1.
The data must be entered into the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's free Energy Star Portfolio Manager software. That system was down during the recent federal shutdown, which forced a postponement of the earlier benchmarking deadline.
The information will be publicly released later this year, providing current and potential future tenants the opportunity to better weigh sustainability in their location decisions.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Picking up a 5-0 win behind senior pitcher Atlee Cahill (Gloucester, MA), the Merrimack College softball team (11-18) snapped a seven game skid Sunday afternoon on Volpe Field.
The Warriors—now 7-9 in Northeast-10 play—dropped game one of the doubleheader, 8-2, despite allowing just seven hits. American International moved to 16-20 and 9-9 in Conference play.
In addition to Cahill's stout pitching through 7.0 innings in the nightcap, junior Kristen Lemay (Shrewsbury, MA) blasted a grand slam to put Merrimack on top 5-0 in the second inning, proving sufficient for the senior Cahill to close out her first complete game of the season.
Improving to 4-6 on the afternoon, Cahill only got better as the game went on. Over the final three innings, she held the Yellow Jackets hitless and struck out four of the 26 batters she faced.
In game one, Merrimack fell behind 2-0 in the first inning, but got out of multiple jams early as the Yellow Jackets had 10 base-runners stranded in the opener.
Lemay got the Warriors on the board in the third with an RBI double and junior Kara Melillo (North Andover, MA) cut the American International lead to one with a single up the middle to score sophomore Monique Gosselin (Lawrence, MA) who got on base with her 11th double of the season.
With only a single hit in the last three innings, the Warriors could not produce anymore offense as the Yellow Jackets continued to roll with five scores in the final two frames to pick up the 8-2 win.
The Warriors are back in action on Tuesday against Assumption College at 3:00pm for a doubleheader on Volpe Field. The game had previously been scheduled for Saturday, April 17th but was postponed due to inclement weather.

When Your Career Doesn't Fit

Champion for a Great Work-Life!
I used to have a pair of shoes that looked terrific sitting on the shoe rack in my closet. They were a perfect match for several things I love to wear so I kept them for a long time, even though I seldom wore them. Occasionally I would try them on, feel them hug my feet snugly and admire how stylish and smart they looked.
The problem arose when I tried to wear those shoes for more than a few minutes. The snug fit soon turned into a cruel pinch, making it painful to walk. Yet I kept those shoes for five years, trying them on occasionally and even wearing them out of the house when I forgot how miserable I'd been the last time. I resisted getting rid of them because they were more than a pair of shoes to me—they were a connection to someone special.
I acquired those cruel shoes from my sister. When she tried them on in her favorite shoe store, she thought they were snug but workable. Soon she discovered that what felt snug became unbearable after a few minutes, so she gave them to me. We both convinced ourselves that they would stretch the tiny bit necessary to be comfortable, if we could just get through that initial agony. They didn't, but I kept trying because they reminded me of my sister. Before I could get rid of the shoes, I had to understand that my link to my sister existed whether the shoes stayed in my closet or went to the community garage sale.
When it's your career pinching you uncomfortably
I often notice similar attachments to careers that don't fit, with coaching clients evaluating their career options. For many, the work they thought would always be there has been replaced by technology or sent offshore; for others, the work is still there but it no longer fits. And for some, what once seemed like a rewarding profession has turned to drudgery and going to work is as painful as my cruel shoes were. It's hard to let go.
In the past, we chose a career direction as a young adult, prepared for it through education and experience and lived happily ever after. Not so any longer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, today's average worker will have three distinct careers in his/her life and for those just entering the work force, it's likely they will change careers five or six times before retirement.
How can you respond when your chosen career no longer fits?
Begin with a thorough examination of what's working and what's not. Determine whether the current career can stretch into a better fit. Perhaps there is another position, role or company for you.
If making the current career fit better is impossible and you need a new career direction, start the exploration with your personal strengths, those traits that have served you well in your work. Think about the most rewarding times in your career: What were you doing? With what type of people, data and things were you interacting. What made the work rewarding for you, beyond the compensation?
Identifying and labeling personal strengths is difficult. We are too close to be objective and we often imagine that we have strengths we want to have, whether there is any real evidence of them or not. Career assessments can objectively identify strengths and motivations. Armed with that information, finding a good fit is easier and faster than a trial-and-error approach.
Once you understanding your personality, talents, skills and preferences, you can begin to search databases for occupations that match. The Department of Labor's onetonline.org website allows you to search occupations, take interest inventories and research growth industries.
You can also use job search aggregators like indeed.com and simplyhired.com to search for positions based on keywords. Review job postings to learn what companies hire these positions and the required qualifications. Think about who you know that can introduce you to people within the company or the occupation and ask them to help you.
Gather input. Talk with four or five people who know your work performance and ask them what career they see for you. Don't debate or discount their suggestions, just thank them and go back to the research stage to learn more.
Gather information on career possibilities that ignite your interest.
At this stage, you want to generate as many options as possible. Don't eliminate any yet, even if you think there's no way for you to pursue a specific career.
Next week I'll offer tips for narrowing your career choices to find the few that fit the best.

The first known person named "Odding" was the father of William Odding named John Odding. He and his wife lived in Braintree, Essex, England. His son William brought the name further and it ended up in the U.S. with her son's widow Margaret and her daughter Sarah Odding who emigrated in 1630.

Bradenton Marauders Transactions: 4/10
Lorin will make the start today for Bradenton.
The Bradenton Marauders have made several transactions prior to today's game:
-Brett Lorin has been promoted from extended Spring Training, and will start in today's game.
-Joe Beimel has been promoted from Bradenton to Indianapolis, where he will continue his rehab work.
-Eliecer Navarro and Jeffrey Inman have been transferred to Extended Spring Training.
-Fraylin Campos and Porfirio Lopez have been promoted from Extended Spring Training to Bradenton.
I wouldn't read much in to those last two moves. Extended Spring Training is right across town, which means Campos and Lopez were probably brought in to help out the bullpen in the short term, with Navarro and Inman both unable to pitch due to multiple inning outings recently....

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Closer calamity in Boston
Rockies reliever Josh Outman apparently contracted food poisoning recently, and vomited so fiercely that he strained an oblique and was placed on the disabled list. I won't joke about Outman's plight, since it must have been miserable for him, but this is an early front-runner for injury of the year.
On to the news:
- Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey will have thumb surgery today and miss 3-5 months. If you own Bailey in a redraft league, you can cut him unless you have a deep bench or a DL spot. Mark Melancon (owned in 12.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) and Alfredo Aceves (6.5 percent) are the likely replacements, while manager Bobby Valentine doesn't seem inclined to move Daniel Bard back to the bullpen right now. The money here is still on Melancon, unless the Sox want to re-sign Byung-Hyun Kim. Yes, that's a joke.
- Rays closer Kyle Farnsworth appears headed to the DL due to a sore elbow. The Rays' website says that Farnsworth's injury "likely leaves the Rays' ninth inning to Joel Peralta, Fernando Rodney or both." Peralta is the first guy I'd grab, but Rays manager Joe Maddon has employed committees in the past, so don't count on anything conventional.
- Here's an update on Diamondbacks SS Stephen Drew, who doesn't sound close to making his 2012 debut.
- Cubs 1B Bryan LaHair was rested on Tuesday due to lower back tightness. He might miss Thursday's opener, but should be back by the weekend.
- It sounds like the Giants are planning to go with Brandon Belt at first base and Aubrey Huff in left field. Good for Belt, who deserves a fair chance.
- The Rockies will open the season with Marco Scutaro leading off, and OF Dexter Fowler batting second. I swear, if they jerk Fowler around again ...
- Hey, there's a real game tonight - the Cardinals visit the Marlins in Miami's brand new stadium. I'll be watching, if only to see the aquarium behind home plate and this weird thing every time the Marlins hit a homer.
- Astros OF Jordan Schafer (hand) has been out for a couple of weeks, but might be ready for Opening Day.
- Did you miss my chat yesterday? Here's the replay if you'd like to read it. I'll be in the FOXSports.com fantasy chat room every Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.
- Remember when everyone was worried about Chris Perez's oblique injury a few weeks ago? The Indians' closer will be ready for Opening Day.
- The Angels have sent catcher Hank Conger back to Triple A, because they still have an aversion to catchers that can hit. Yes, I know they're starting Chris Iannetta. I drafted Conger in my AL-only league, and I'm bitter.
- After missing four weeks of spring training due to knee surgery, Brewers OF Corey Hart is expected to be in the lineup for Friday's opener.
- Twins 2B Alexi Casilla (knee) plans to play on Opening Day after missing a few days.
- The MRI on Frank Francisco's knee didn't show anything bad, and he'll be ready to close for the Mets on Thursday.
- The Yankees will begin figuring out Michael Pineda's rehab schedule today, but it sounds like they don't expect him to miss a lot of time. If you haven't drafted yet, don't knock Pineda down too far on your draftboard. If you have drafted, it might be time to buy low on Pineda from a panicked owner. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I see opportunity here. I'm still worried about Pineda, but some people seem to be completely writing him off for 2012, and that's an overreaction.
- A's 1B Daric Barton is on the DL, but he could return as soon as Monday to resume his competition with Brandon Allen and Kila Ka'aihue.
- Here's an update on Chase Utley's rehab, which is pretty, um, vague.
- This column suggests that SP Edinson Volquez could be rejuvenated by his new home in PETCO Park. I've been thinking the same thing, and would like to note that Volquez is owned in just 2.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues.
- After an awful spring, Blue Jays SP Brett Cecil has been sent to the minors. Rookies Joel Carreno and Kyle Drabek will be in the Jays' rotation, and should be avoided outside of AL-only leagues.
- Rehabbing Nationals closer Drew Storen is still aiming for a mid-April return. Teammate John Lannan has been sent to Triple A, with Ross Detwiler winning the fifth-starter slot.
- Are the White Sox really considering rookie lefty Hector Santiago as their closer? Good grief, I wish Robin Ventura would make up his mind.
- With most teams opening their seasons on Thursday and Friday, please note that I'll have a streaming pitcher selection in this blog every weekday starting tomorrow, with weekend picks posted on Fridays.
See you back here tomorrow with more news and some 2012 predictions.

James Ward raised more than a few eyebrows with his thrilling five-set win over Spaniard Pablo Andujar, not least because a lot of British fans had marked his Queen's run last year as a one-off. The British number two, ranked 173rd in the world, overcame the world number 36 from Spain after trailing twice in an epic encounter.
While it will be chalked up as some scalp for Ward — comfortably his biggest victory in terms of context, and his first in a Grand Slam main draw — the Londoner will have known that he absolutely had to win this match.
Last year at Queen's, Ward surprised everyone by reaching the semi-finals, beating Stanislas Wawrinka and Sam Querrey before holding his own in a defeat by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. That surprise was accompanied by a surge in the rankings and talk of moving into the top 100.
And while initially he did progress - there were a couple of wins on the Challenger circuit and qualification for the Australian Open - he has stalled somewhat this season: while he did win a Futures event in Taiwan, he has only managed to get to one Challenger quarter-final and had lost all his Tour matches before Tuesday.
His relative failure at this summer's Queen's cost him dearly too as, after exiting at the first round, he was unable to defend all those ranking points he had accumulated. At the age of 25, there was a serious risk that he could slide out of the top 200 and fall away altogether.
So to move into the second round is a major boost to his career, and a timely one. He will rise to just outside the top 150, get a few more invitations and favourable draws in the minor events, and will be just one good run away from the top 100. Based on his talent, that is where he should be.
From this point on anything else is a bonus. Tenth seed Mardy Fish should, in theory, make light work of Ward, but then again the same was said of Wawrinka at Queen's last season.
Ward's win was one of several for British players on Tuesday, with Anne Keothavong cruising to an expected victory over Laura Pous, expected because of Keothavong's higher ranking and a partisan Wimbledon crowd. It was a bit tougher for Elena Baltacha though, as she needed three sets and an injury to opponent Karin Knapp to progress.
Much like for Ward, it was a crucial win for Baltacha, who has been on the slide recently. She is hovering outside the top 100 and this win will push her just inside, allowing her to enter the main draw of the US Open and re-establish herself as a force in British women's tennis.
Laura Robson also emerges with great credit, despite her defeat to Francesca Schiavone. Any criticism of Robson in this particular match is unfounded: she had an incredible opening set against the experienced, powerful 2010 French Open champion, but the Italian is one of the best fighters in the business and she launched a comeback like only she can.
You could see how much it meant to Schiavone afterwards, she knew she had been in a brawl. Robson must take heart from this win, and somehow try to harness her potential into wins on the circuit.
But obviously the big win for the women was Heather Watson on Monday — to have three Brits in the second round of the women's draw is very pleasing, and if one can get through it will be a great achievement.
I'm focusing on the Brits today because, unlike Monday, there were no major surprises on day two aside from Ward's victory.
Andy Murray certainly entertained the crowd with his win, but Nikolay Davydenko is a busted flush and out of his depth against the top players now; Rafael Nadal was the least convincing of the men's top four, but he'll build on his scare and surely will ease into top gear soon.
Most impressive for me though was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who played against a Lleyton Hewitt who was full of beans and playing as well as I've seen him play in a while. Tsonga, however, was right on top of his game, phenomenal, almost as good as when he beat Roger Federer last season.
I was also pleased by David Goffin's performance against another Aussie, Bernard Tomic, who has been touted by many as the next big thing in men's tennis. However, the little Belgian looked the business, a super retriever and — dare I say — Federer-esque with his shot-making. We saw him almost shock Federer at the French Open recently, and while he lacks the size perhaps to be one of the top players, I expect him to become a more regular fixture in the latter stages of the Slams.
Finally, I was less than impressed by Serena Williams in her 6-2 6-4 win over Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. The scoreline may suggest otherwise, but Serena — who I have tipped to win this tournament — was a bundle of nerves in the second set. She was all over the place, threatening to self-destruct once more, just as she did in the first round at Roland Garros.
But, credit to her, she held it together. Maybe she just needs a few wins in a row to get over that remarkable implosion in Paris. If she can steady herself, she can go all the way, but — as I feared — she is her own worst enemy.

New Models - Mini Hatch
First Oz drive: Thoroughly modern Mini
The new Mini Cooper has landed Down Under courtesy of BMW and we drive it on home soil four months prior to launch
13 November 2001
FIRST examples of the new Mini Cooper have arrived Down Under with local journalists treated to a first Australian drive of BMW's new entry level car some four months before it is due to go on sale here.
DRIVE IMPRESSIONS:BMW's positioning of the new Mini as a premium BMW Group product may be drawing a long bow for those familiar with the budget-based original, but after our first local drive of the larger, heavier 2002 model, it does not seem too far a stretch.
Indeed, until the entry level Mini One appears in coming years with a sub-$30,000 price tag, BMW will need to draw on all of the Mini Cooper's strengths to attract the 25 to 40-year-old "young at hearts", females and second or third car buyers it says Mini will attract.
Mini Cooper has many strengths - such as a solid equipment list, first-class safety features, totally ergonomic front seating (though the twin rear seats remain squishy), BMW-level engineering and after-sales support, a well sorted ride/handling combination and European build quality - not to mention novelty value.
The latter factor became evident during a drive through peak-hour Melbourne traffic, in which the Mini Cooper succeeded in turning almost every head it drove past.
Build quality is also of a high standard, though some A-pillar wind noise, a persistent interior rattle and a noisy air-conditioning generator were evident in some of the early UK-spec cars we drove.
Well-spaced gear ratios and a low final drive ratio make the five-speed manual transmission well suited to the 1.6-litre four's somewhat revvy nature, and the clever CVT auto also does an admirable job of keeping it on the boil, but this is no performance car.
A claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9.2 seconds hardly makes the Cooper S a firecracker, but in fairness there's enough urge to offer rewarding open-road scratching as well as pain-free urban commuting.
Like the original Mini, the new Cooper is a sharp-handling device with delightfully precise steering, excellent feedback and plenty of grip - with none of the original's road-wandering characteristics.
While the nimbleness is a factor of its short wheelbase, the same feature becomes evident over large road irregularities, through which the firmly-suspended Mini crashes and is easily thrown off line. But both high speed stability and ride quality are a match for many larger vehicles.
Overall, the Mini Cooper delivers a feeling of solidity and driver involvement that will be as familiar to BMW owners as it is foreign to Mini enthusiasts.
But many of the original's best features are there, packaged in a well thought-out, highly ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing car for the 21st century.
As such, the first BMW-built front-wheel drive is a fitting entry point to BMW Group vehicles.
But remember, fun is the name of the game here, not performance.

Liberia's Ebola widows learn to become the new breadwinners
By James Harding Giahyue
MONTSERRADO, Liberia (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Huddled together in the bedroom of their mud-brick home in rural Liberia, Marthaline Sweet's children stare at her hungrily as she picks up her one-month-old baby.
Sweet, an Ebola survivor and mother of five, chokes back tears as she recalls contemplating an abortion after the virus killed her husband - leaving her alone to fend for their children.
"We don't have a good home, we have no food and we must beg other people for help," Sweet said, gazing at the railroad that runs past her village in Liberia's central Grand Bassa County.
"We are really suffering - we are slowly dying," said the 39-year-old, gently rocking her baby girl back and forth.
Sweet is one of thousands of women in Liberia mourning the loss of their loved ones to the world's worst Ebola outbreak, which has infected 28,000 people and killed 11,300 in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since December 2013.
Liberia, the hardest-hit nation with 4,800 deaths, was declared Ebola-free for a third time last month.
As the West African country begins to recover from the crisis, many women like Sweet are struggling to face a future without their husbands or fathers - the main breadwinners in their families.
About half of Liberia's 6,000 Ebola survivors are women. Besides financial hardships, many must also endure rejection from their friends, families and communities. Continued...

check engine?
I bought my cat last summer. When I took it in for state inspection (TX) last summer they said I had a check engine light on. It wasn't the one on the dash but they said it was an interior light. I think they told me it was my maf sensor. I thought it was weird because I had no lights on inside the car and it passed emissions but they said when they plugged it in the computer a "check engine" code came up so they couldn't pass it. Has anyone heard of this other "check engine" light or has had the same problem?
Since the summer I have replaced the oil cooler (oil in resevoir), crank position sensor (engine stuttering), maf sensor, and spark plugs. Does the maf sensor affect gas mileage because it used to be horrible? I am on my first tank after installing the maf sensor so I'll keep you updated.

Re: check engine?
I also have this problem except the check engine light comes on and off at random times. I also live in TX and passed inspection because I brought it in when the check engine light was off.

Re: check engine?
As far as I know, there is no interior CEL "light". However, there may be codes in the OBDC which are not currently illuminating the CEL. For example, a code might need to be present on three consecutive startups in order to illuminate the CEL. If your state requires no codes to be present, it will fail even with the CEL off.
I was lucky in VA. The CEL was off, but I have a permanent P0160 that I can't get rid of. Luckily, it still passed the inspection (I guess they don't check that one in VA).
Re: check engine?
The funny thing is since I bought the car I have never had a light on except when I forgot to connect some wires after installing my oil cooler. My car definetely doesn't stutter anymore and I think I'm getting better gas mileage. Hopefully it'll pass inspection this time. Thanks for the comments guys.

About Me
- Name: Robin Allen Photography's Rants and Raves
- Location: Lexington, KY, United States
I went to college for painting. Yes painting. You see, in high school It was OBVIOUS that the arts, specifically accurate portraiture, was where my talent was. It only made sense that I go hone my skill into a trade. Well thank the Lord that He knew better. In college I took Photography as a just-for-fun class. I fell head over heels! Yes, I was reeeally good at painting in high school, but it never really lit my fire. Painting, for me, was like most people's DOODLING... Who ever says to themselves, "MAN I wish I could make a living doodling!" Yeah NO ONE. But photography is SO much better for me. Yes, I still have technical control, and I can create works of ART, but now I also have PEOPLE! The clients! Sweet, honest kids who are professional fun-havers, The bride and groom who ooze elation for one another, the infant who is the embodiment of her parents' pride and joy, and the senior who is busting with innovation and independence! WHEW! THESE are subjects I can sink my teeth in to! (Not literally of course) There is so much life in photography. THIS is what lights my fire! ...And I get paid for it!

So damn scary if i ever saw a girl like that i would kill her easy. Slow and painful though cuz SHE SO DAMN UGLY LOOK AT THOSE LIPS. DON'T MAKE HER GIVE YOU HEAD! But good game nonetheless.

Well, nebula, herpes can be oral (like you have) or genital. Not just one bump on your lip that lasts a week. It can be much worse. Sorry you're so offended, but I'm assuming this is just supposed to be humorous and satirical, based on the events and the "crappy animation". The author clearly does not mean that every single person that has herpes is a car smashing obsessive monster. Calm down. This is newgrounds, not a speech to a hospital board of director and accurate medical representation of herpes. Chill out.
Onto my review:
Nice job, man. I found it entertaining.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Really? Do you even know what herpes is? Let me enlighten you:
If you have a SERIOUS case of herpes, you get a bump on your lip that lasts for a week.
You get one roughly every month.
I also dont understand al the hight ratings. This game sucked animation was crappy,
Personally i found it offensive (I have herpes). Does the fact that i have herpes turn me into a car smashing monster that will stop at nothing to marry a random person in a bar?
Just please, next time make something thats entertaining and fun to play

Scottish Bible Society helps spread God's Word in Nepal
The Scottish Bible Society has launched a new appeal to help its partners in Nepal bring God's Word to more and more people within the country's blossoming Christian community.
One year after the predominantly Hindu Nepal became a secular state in May 2006, the Nepal Bible Society's third attempt in 11 years to be registered 'official' finally proved successful. The new Society joins nearly 150 others working in more than 200 countries worldwide.
The Scottish Bible Society acknowledged that working in the country had not always been easy but said there were positive signs of change to be seen.
"With the recent death of Sir Edmund Hillary who with the Nepalese man Tenzing Norgay climbed Everest, the highest mountain in the world, fresh focus has been brought onto Nepal," said Elaine Duncan, chief executive of the Scottish Bible Society.
"The huge team effort that it took to get the top of that particular mountain might inspire us to join with our fellow workers to achieve another important feat.
"Out of a population of 26 million, there are around 700,000 Christians in Nepal. The formerly unregistered Bible Society had worked in the country for 30 years but always faced the risk of reprisals and prosecution."
Christianity continues to spread in Nepal, however, and churches are turning increasingly to the Nepal Bible Society for Scriptures to help the ever-growing numbers of Nepali Christians grow stronger in their faith and more mature in their Christian journey.
In 2008, the local Bible Society is hoping to radically change the faith journey of 400,000 Christians by giving them their own copy of God's Word.
Ms Duncan added, "Plans are in action, production estimates agreed, and now - with the help of Christians in Scotland - the presses can be rolling by the end of March. We're in exciting times."

text: Simon Cowell wants a pet penguin The X Factor judge and self-confessed Popper's fan seems genuinely keen to pick up a penguin Comments News Hound 3:15 PM, 28 November 2012 "A workaholic businessman always puts his job first – until he's charged with taking care of some penguins." That's the synopsis for feel-good family film Mr Popper's Penguins, but if Simon Cowell's dreams come true it could also end up being an efficient précis of The X Factor judge's life. You see, Cowell wants a pet penguin. Really wants a pet penguin. "Watching mr poppers penguins again," he tweeted earlier (my underlining). "I love this film. I really do want a pet penguin." In the movie, Jim Carrey turns his expensive apartment into a winter wonderland and ends up peforming a dance routine with the aquatic birds to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby. If Simon takes it that far, not only will he have trouble holding on to the moniker Mr Nasty, he'll also have a very good chance of winning Britain's Got Talent... Like this? Share it.

One of the thousand women said to have fought in the Civil War, Loreta Janeta Velazquez altered her sex, ethnicity, and identity in order to become a Confederate soldier spy and double agent for the Union, only to be dismissed as a hoax after revealing her story in her scandalous 1876 memoir, The Woman in Battle. REBEL is a detective story about a woman, a myth, and the politics of national memory.

Imago Theatre, best known for FROGZ is proud to announce its latest family hit ZooZoo, a whimsical, terrifically silly family show that has delighted audiences nationwide with its giggle-inducing short vignettes performed without words to an original score—a perfect theatre experience for children. ZooZoo is a circus, a zoo, and a world all its own, where penguins play musical chairs, a cat becomes trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos have insomnia, and anteaters work as waiters—all resulting in a madcap revue of illusion, comedy, and fun. Imago's shows have been described as Cirque Du Soleil-evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a unique, yet accessible, French-influenced, avant-garde playground. Recommended for ages 3 and older.
The Met stage ignites when soprano Kristine Opolais and tenor Roberto Alagna join forces in Puccini's obsessive love story. Opolais sings the title role of the country girl who transforms herself into a Parisian temptress, while Roberto Alagna is the dashing student who desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre places the action in occupied France in a film noir setting. "Desperate passion" is the phrase Puccini himself used to describe the opera that confirmed his position as the preeminent Italian opera composer of his day. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.
Continuing a deeply successful six-year collaboration inspired by ceremonies dedicated to the Sun, ETHEL and Robert Mirabal, Native American musician, instrument builder and three time GRAMMY® Award winner present their next evolution of the cross-cultural concert experience. The inspiration this time is Water as the embodiment of Spirit, and its essential role in Life on Earth. The audience is immersed in a flow of music, narrative, and ritual, that evokes timeless Native American traditions through contemporary musical artistry. As delivered by these master performers, the effect is breathtaking, even ecstatic. To complement the music created by ETHEL and Mirabal exclusively for this program, ETHEL will also perform part of Gabriela Lena Frank's epic Andean Walkabout and Phil Kline's gorgeous The River.
"Indefatigable and eclectic" (The New York Times), "vital and brilliant" (The New Yorker), at the heart of ETHEL is a collaborative ethos—a quest for a common creative expression forged in the celebration of community.
A Native American "Renaissance man"—musician, composer, painter, master craftsman, poet, actor, screenwriter, horseman and farmer—Mirabal travels extensively throughout the world, offering "exquisitely nuanced flute playing" (The New York Times) and creating music that honors the spirits of the earth.
Following a sell-out run at London's Royal Court Theatre, Olivier and Academy Award® winner Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Cripple of Inishmaan, In Bruges) returns to the West End with Matthew Dunster's award-winning production of his deeply funny new play Hangmen, broadcast live to cinemas by National Theatre Live.
In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry (David Morrissey – The Walking Dead, State of Play) is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging?
Amongst the cub reporters and pub regulars dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, his old assistant Syd (Andy Nyman – Peaky Blinders, Death at a Funeral) and the peculiar Mooney (Johnny Flynn – Clouds of Sils Maria) lurk with very different motives for their visit.

"It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do," says the Boston Globe speaking of Cherish the Ladies, the long-running, Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene and has since toured the world, played the White House and the Olympics, recorded 15 outstanding albums including their latest, "An Irish Homecoming" which was also videotaped for an Emmy winning Public Television Special that is airing across America.
Many suitors dream of marrying the lovely and docile Bianca, including Luciento. However her father will not let anyone marry her before her elder sister, the ill-tempered shrew Katharina, is herself married. French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot lands a coup with his adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy tailored specifically to the Bolshoi dancers, and achieves a magnetic two hours of breathtaking, nonstop dance unlike any other, portraying the Bolshoi's audacity and energy in a completely new way. This new production was staged exclusively for the Bolshoi and cannot be seen anywhere else!
Bizet's gorgeous opera of lust and longing set in the Far East returns to the Met stage for the first time in 100 years. Soprano Diana Damrau stars as Leïla, the beautiful Hindu priestess pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her hand. Her suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who sing the lilting duet "Au fond du temple saint," which opera fans know and adore. Director Penny Woolcock explores the timeless themes of pure love, betrayal, and vengeance in a production that vividly creates an undersea world on the stage of the Met. Conductor Gianandrea Noseda brings his romantic flair to the lush score from the composer of Carmen.
Born on the street corners of urban America, rhythm & blues and doo wop singing reached its peak in the 1950's, but still has a strong following today. While doo wop singing began as an African American art form, by the late 1950's it was enjoyed by singers of all races. Doo wop harmony in its purist form is acappella (without instrumentals). We've assembled six of the top acappella doo wop vocal groups from NYC to Philadelphia, plus a couple special guests. Choice hails from Jersey City and has been singing for 35 years. Their video recently went viral attracting 6 million views. The Tee-Tones formed on the streets of Brooklyn and fine tuned their harmonies in the tunnels of the NYC subway system. They've since appeared on Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight. The versatile group, Quiet Storm, has developed a huge following in the Philadelphia area. Called "Storm Chasers," their fans follow them from concert to concert. Frankie and the Fashions are a Philadelphia acappella group whose origins reach back to the 1960's. They've recorded several CD's and are well known for their popular signature song, "What Do I Have To Do". The popular Piscataway NJ group, Re-MemberThen, has the distinction of twice winning the acappella showdowns at the Meadowlands. The Vic Donna Group is known for their tight intricate harmonies of obscure R&B and Doo Wop collectors sides and original material. Vic, himself, has been singing since 1956. Over the years, he's been backed on record by such noted groups as the Fi-Tones, Parakeets, Cadillacs, Sharps, Compliments and Angels. The Vic Donna Group has recently added a couple new singers with a lot of previous experience. As a special guest, we welcome Larry Chance of the Earls. Larry is an internationally known doo wop star who has agreed to sing acappella for us, backed by Re-MemberThen. By way of a big screen video, we'll have De'Sean Dooley, grandson of the Orioles Sonny Til, singing Orioles songs backed by Quiet Storm.
Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock, The Imitation Game, Frankenstein at the National Theatre) takes on the title role of Shakespeare's great tragedy. Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, National Theatre Live will broadcast this eagerly awaited production live to cinemas. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father's death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.
Feo Aladag's "When We Leave" (2010) (unrated). Umay is a young woman of Turkish descent, fighting for an independent and self-determined life in Germany against the resistance of her family. Her struggle initiates a dynamic, which results in a life-threatening situation.
Mirror Image: Two cousins are born five months apart to identical twin mothers. Shaped by their mothers' careers as 1950s pop singers, these women both complement and contradict one another as their lives unfold. Mirror Image reveals a life and relationship that now exist only in dreams, memories… and on stage.
Twin: Identical twin girls each have a personality that is in some ways too big for their bodies. Too big to control. Too big to contain. They have lived their whole lives off-balance. Would they have been better proportioned had the egg not split? This performance is presented as a work in progress.
A young bourgeois, Armand Duval, falls madly in love with Marguerite Gautier, a gorgeous courtesan celebrated by the Parisian high society. Despite her infidelity, Armand will do all he can to win the beautiful woman's heart and convince her to leave her indulgent life. The Bolshoi breathes new life into John Neumeier's tragic masterpiece, inspired by Alexandre Dumas' novel and accompanied by Chopin's exquisite score. This production assumes a new emotional and dramatic texture that only the Bolshoi's dancers can deliver. "Neumeier's character-rich ballet has found a company that is equal to its challenges" –Financial Times

Skypes share of international long-distance traffic, 2008:
New data from TeleGeography show that international voice traffic continues to rise, despite the availability of an ever-broader range of substitutes for standard telephone calls. Cross-border telephone traffic grew 14% in 2007 and is estimated to have grown 12% in 2008, to 384 billion minutes. Due to declining call prices, however, revenues have largely been flat.
While international telephone traffic is increasing at a modest pace, Skypes international traffic has soared: TeleGeography estimates that Skypes cross-border traffic grew approximately 41% in 2008, to 33 billion minutes equivalent to 8% of combined international telephone + Skype traffic. 'Skypes traffic growth has been remarkable,' said TeleGeography analyst Stephan Beckert. 'Only five years after its launch, Skype has emerged as the largest provider of cross-border voice communications in the world.'Not all of Skypes traffic is a net loss for international carriers. Skypes paid-for 'Skype Out' service, which lets users make calls to standard telephones, generated 8.4 billion minutes of calls in 2008. Skype relies on wholesale carriers, such as iBasis and Level 3, to connect this traffic to the telephone network.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Quincy Acy and Quincy Miller sparked a second-half run that finally put 11th-ranked Baylor in control, and the Bears went on to a 77-67 victory over San Diego State on Tuesday.
Miller, the 6-foot-9 freshman forward, had 20 points and has led the Bears (3-0) in scoring in all three games this season. Acy, a senior, had 13 points.
The game was tied at 32 early in the second half before the two Quincys put the Bears out in front with an 18-5 run.
Miller put the Bears ahead to stay with his inside jumper and scored seven points in the 5-minute spurt, and Acy scored nine.
Chase Tapley had 28 points with eight 3-pointer to lead San Diego State (3-1).
After Tapley made a jumper, Acy made three free throws in an 8-second span before his highlight play, a one-handed reverse dunk.

Hate wearing a winter hat? 11 Style Panel tips to making your beanie, toque, fedora and headband work (minus the hat head)
It's hat season, though many would like to avoid it. For some of us, the idea of wearing a hat may induce horrific memories of flat, static lifeless hair, and unfortunate style choices we may have made when we were young (we're looking at you, Doctor Seuss hat). Let's face it though, winter hats are hard to avoid, and actually quite essential to staying warm all season long.
Beanies and toques were the style of choice for many of our Style Panel members, and there is no question why. Beanies provide ultimate ear warmth while remaining the simplest style to wear on a particularly bad hair day. But if getting hat head is a concern, earmuffs and headbands do just the same trick while leaving your hair relatively untouched. For a more fashion-forward take on the look, trying a Russian-style faux fur headband like Barbara Solomon's adds an extra touch of luxe.
Question 28: What is your go to hat or head covering for winter and why is it your favourite? Read the answers now! »

Hat season (more so beanie season for me) has always been my favourite because all it really means is that I no longer have to spend time on my hair. In other words, I can sleep in for an extra fifteen minutes in the morning. Another plus is that my ears will stay toasty while the rest of me freezes.

When it comes to warming up on a cold winter's day, beanies are by far my favourite cold-weather accessory. Not only do they keep me toasty warm, but they also do wonders on bad hair days. There's no limit to the styles and colours at my disposal, so I see no reason not to stock up with as many beanies as possible this winter!

My head covering of choice for the winter months is a wool brimmed hat. It not only keeps me warm, but works well with my face shape by balancing out my fuller cheeks! I also love the city-chic look it provides to the most casual of outfits.

How do I say this without sounding like a crazy person? Hats are my jam. Perhaps it's my oversized head or the unruly, hippie hair I tend to rock for weeks on end but any way it's sliced, I love a good hat day. And what a better time for hats? It's cold and I definitely don't want to wash my hair 24/7, only to have it freeze in the chill of the morning commute to the subway. While I have a variety of head accessories for every occasion (think: headbands for the slopes and berets for work attire) this Hello Kitty one has to be my favourite piece to pull out of the ol' tickle trunk (I may or may not have named my dog after said hat's character). Simply paired with a cream leather jacket (not shown), I always love using it to add a little playfulness to a plain outfit. It is the perfect winter accessory for a casual look and one that lends a bit of fun & fervour to a laid-back winter night out!

When it comes to head gear for the winter I am all for any random fabric I find with an amazing print that I can wind up into a turban. It's the best way for me to not only protect my hair but to also stay true to my style. I love wearing turbans because with infinite printed fabric and ways of tying turbans each day can have its own unique turban.

If I learned one thing from a crazy commute back and forth from Markham to OCAD University through my 4 years there, it was to always come prepared during the winter. I usually have either a silly or bright beanie stuffed in my purse. That was until I found this amazing headband last season. To me this is a game changer. The Russian and vintage inspired headband does a great job in keeping my head warm, without destroying my hair. Faux fur also adds amazing texture while framing the face.

Here in Halifax the temperatures tend to drop quite significantly, but that doesn't mean I stop going outside. I live very close to the Halifax oval, and so in order to go skating outdoors I need to bundle up quite heavily. For winter I really embrace knitwear to keep me warm; I love hats, scarves, and especially headbands. My mother has many talents, and knitting is certainly one of them. With a plethora of choices I still come back to headbands time and time again because you can wear them with your hair down with some straight or curly locks, or with you hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail. It's a win-win: stylish and practical. Love it.

I have never been much of a dressy hat person, but when I spied this one in a department store in Paris I knew I had to have it! This floppy wool hat is my new go to for when it's raining, and it's also perfect for covering up a bad hair day. I also absolutely love to wear cozy beanies and will definitely be wearing them when I go home to Canada for Christmas…they don't really work here in LA!

One thing I love about living in a part of the world with 4 distinct seasons is that every one of them brings along a new set of accessories. And what I have come to realize about this nonchalant head piece – the beanie, or "toque" for us Canadians – is that it can quickly pull together just about anything (even me when I was feeling particularly dishevelled). Beanies are unisex, though their punch can lie in the details. Mine here is a vintage angora (don't worry, they take the bunny's moulted fur, not their life!), and I've also fallen deeply in love with the Stephen Jones veiled beanie for Jill Sander. And though I'm also supremely into the wide brim fedoras that have been floating around the blogosphere, choosing this more relaxed looking hat didn't leave me with flat hat hair as the day wore on. Yes and yes.

I'm very thankful for the mild winters we get here in Vancouver. And though we're able to avoid a ton of snow, we definitely endure a ton of cold, soggy days instead. My favourite defence against the West Coast winter elements is a large brimmed felt hat. It manages to keep my head warm, as well as protect my hair from the rain. An oversized winter hat is basically the perfect compromise between practical and trendy. In order to keep warm, I also pair it with essential winter accessories like a big scarf, gloves, and boots.

Whether I like it or not, winter seems to stick around for a very long time here. It starts early and leaves late. One has no choice but to embrace it. Embracing it includes accumulating a large collection of hats, scarves, mitts and coats (which is easily justifiable since I "need" all these items).
It is quite easy to wear these items and still look stylish. I find a lot of people like to buy winter items in basic colours such as black or grey. It tends to get a bit depressing after awhile. I like to mix things up and add a little cheer to my winter wardrobe by picking bright or patterned items, like this neon green beanie. Since this beanie is part of my ensemble, I usually leave the hat on while I am inside as well. This way I can avoid "hat head". If you are afraid of hat head, there are also a lot of cute headband options out there. I find the knit headbands to be a little easier on the hair.
