Armed with 13 picks, Browns ready for NFL draft
Cleveland has the No. 4 overall pick
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Wild rumors are flying around about Cleveland's plans in next week's NFL draft.
A hot one is they're trading down. One day, they're using the No. 4 pick on Texas A &M quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The next, they're taking Alabama running back Trent Richardson or Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon. LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne is ranked highest on their board. They're in love with 28-year-old quarterback Brandon Weeden. Southern Cal tackle Matt Kalil is their guy.
It goes on and on.
Only man knows the truth.
But Browns general manager Tom Heckert is keeping it a secret.
"There's a lot of mis-stories out there that I like right now and I want to keep a lot of them where they're at," he said. "I'm feeling pretty good about it."
As he prepares for a critical draft that could finally push Cleveland's franchise out of its depressed state, Heckert dodged specific questions Thursday during a 45-minute news conference where he talked a lot but offered little.
Heckert was tactful with his responses, careful not to divulge any information. He doesn't want to tip his hand, which is stacked with 13 picks, including the Nos. 4, 22 and 37 selections.
Heckert acknowledged that the Browns would like to keep the No. 4 pick and that the team has narrowed that choice down to two unidentified players. He added there's agreement between himself, president Mike Holmgren and coach Pat Shurmur over the pick.
"We're all on the same page," he said. "We know we're getting a really good player no matter what happens at No. 3. We know we're getting one of two guys, we just don't know who is going to go at three (to Minnesota). We're extremely happy and excited with whoever is going to be there at four."
Richardson and Blackmon are both expected to be available when commissioner Roger Goodell puts the Browns on the clock Thursday night.
Both would make an immediate impact on a Cleveland offense desperate for playmakers. The Browns scored just 218 points last season and Heckert needs someone to get the ball in the end zone.
"Everybody knows, it's not a secret," Heckert said. "We need guys that can score points."
Although the trend in recent years has been for teams to draft running backs later in the draft, Heckert said he wouldn't hesitate to take one at No. 4. Richardson, who rushed for 1,679 yards and 21 touchdowns last year, is the highest rated back in this year's class and would fill a major need after the Browns decided not to re-sign Peyton Hillis as a free agent.
Hillis' off-field drama and injuries to running backs Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson curtailed Cleveland's ground game last season. The 5-foot-9, 228-pound Richardson showed in college he could run inside and outside and Heckert said there's more comfort with a player coming out Alabama, which uses a pro-style system.
"You get to see him catch the ball and in pass protection," Heckert said. "Some guys you never get to see catch the ball. There are some guys in this draft, at least our top three running backs, all can catch the ball and block. Sometimes you can't tell."
Blackmon would be another weapon for Browns quarterback Colt McCoy, assuming that is, he remains Cleveland's starter.
Heckert downplayed a report that he favors Blackmon over other possibilities at No. 4.
"Everything you've heard is complete nonsense," he said. "It's that time of year and I understand that. Everybody is on the same page here with who we are considering."
As for McCoy, Heckert still believes the third-year QB can be a solid starter. The Browns tried to move up in the draft to select Baylor's Robert Griffin III but were outbid by Washington. The fact that they pursued a young quarterback showed there's still doubt about McCoy, who was inconsistent in 13 starts last season before he was sidelined by a concussion.
Heckert said the Browns' quarterback situation hasn't "changed much" and that he wouldn't rule out taking a one in the draft.
'We like Colt," he said. "Left tackle's probably not where we'd go, but most other positions, if we find somebody we think it a really good player and is better than that guy, we're gonna do it. But that's all positions. It's not Colt. We like colt. We think Colt can play. I know everybody talked about the Washington deal, but it's not like you're saying Colt's a bad quarterback by doing that.."
Heckert was asked if he'll use one of his top three picks on a quarterback.
"That's a big question mark," he said. "I don't know."
Tannehill may have soared up other's draft boards, not Cleveland's. Heckert said the Browns' view of Tannehill, who made only 19 starts for the Aggies after switching from wide receiver, hasn't changed.
"People talk about Ryan Tannehill flying up after his workout, that's just simply not true," Heckert said. "He had a good workout, but to be honest with you, I haven't seen a whole lot of people who have bad workouts.
"He's a good football player."

In reply to woodyee.
Hey almighty one. You might see this a little different as to where our rights come from by also seeing the Constitution different. "We the People" established the federal government by writing and agreeing to the Constitution, which set up the government. Look at the first amendment. It does not give us the right to free speech, etc.; it makes it clear the government, which the people were establishing could not pass laws to interfere with our free speech. Freedom of speech, press, religion existed prior to the Constitution and the government. Same with second amendment. It is not granting a right to own a gun for whatever reason – they already owned guns, it is making it clear the new government was not granted the power to infringe on our pre-existing right to have a gun.

We are missing something as to the 4th Amendment. The Bill of Rights did not grant us these "rights", we already had these rights. The Bill of Rights were added to make it clear to the government some of the things they cannot do to us. This was not an all-inclusive list. Telling the government that they cannot house troops in our homes without our consent is not a statement that then means that state or local troops (police) can do whatever they want. You have heard, "Life, Liberty, and Property". This is a situation that affects all three of these unalienable rights.

Hey, I'm looking for boots similar to this one from Mark McNairy:
Only problem is that I have small feet and most brands' smallest sizes are too big for me. I'm a 7D in Red Wing, 7 in Clarks, 39 EUR, UK 6.
Are there any brands that carry boots like the image above with my size?
Diemme has a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l model named firenze, think they are available from caliroots.
personally i plan to get myself this pair when it get's a bit colder again
I have no idea what it actually is, but this looks similar to me: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/WallaceBarnes/PRDOVR~85748/99102722487/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~heavyweight/85748.jsp

And even then different shoes would have been better...
should I assume these are fake? All these websites seem to be. It has good reviews on some review site I've never heard of but it seems very fishy :/ I figured I'd check anyway

I picked up 3sixteen sl-100x for my first pair of nice jeans. I'm pretty happy with them, but if I'm honest the rear rise/seat of the pants is a little too full and baggy(I can move the rear of the waist up an inch above where I wear it). I'm wearing a size 34 (knee 9.1, opening 8.2, rise 11.7), and I don't think I can really afford to go any slimmer at the thigh, knee or opening -- I'm just too tall (I also chose these jeans because of the 37inseam).
So, can jeans be altered in the rear rise? Seems unlikely. So can anyone recommend jeans with a similar front rise and knee, but a shorter back rise? Basically, I have no ass, but I do have thighs and calves.

Libraries Could Do This (Maybe not with wine..)
Originally uploaded by mstephens7
And many probably are. Anyone have any shots of staff suggestions with pictures?
nice one ! it could be a statement to say librarians like wine….
There's some bookstores that do this as well. Powell's in Portland puts up a lot of reviews/recommendations. To tell the truth, most public libraries I've been in will have a separate table with recommendations or the like. I believe they avoid actually putting it on the shelf since unlike most stores the contents of the shelves shift a lot.
Great idea… though I don't like wine.

Police are hunting for the armed robbers who pistol-whipped a man during a home invasion in Cobbs Creek.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. Friday when guys with handguns simply knocked on the door. And when the victim answered it, they pistol-whipped him and robbed him.
They forced their way into the property. All four males were wearing dark clothing and covering their face. At else one of the males had a gun.
The 30-year-old homeowner was struck in the face.
The men were able to get away with about $1,500 and keys and fled out the door in an unknown direction. The victim is at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Police didn't say if the keys were house keys or opened something else. The victim is in stable condition but suffered some pretty serious blows to the head and upper body, FOX 29's Stephanie Esposito reported from outside police headquarters Friday morning.

New leader taking the reins at San Antonio Education Partnership
- Tamarind Phinisee
Eyra Perez has been named the new executive director of locally based nonprofit San Antonio Education Partnership.
The nonprofit provides college prep and counseling services as well as college scholarships to at-risk high school students who meet high attendance and academic requirements.
Perez says her goals for the nonprofit include beefing up marketing for its services, increasing financial aid among its program participants, securing more funding for the nonprofit's operating needs and adding more space for its administrative offices.
Its current operating budget is $4 million.
"We are writing and will be writing grants to supplement this funding to do more. And as we expand, there will be more needs," Perez says.
Perez replaces Judy McCormick, who went to work for the P-16 Plus Council of Greater Bexar County as executive director.
Perez has been with the partnership since May 2005. Prior to taking on this new role, Perez served as director of programs for the organization.
Before joining the partnership, Perez worked at the University of San Antonio at Texas as well as the San Antonio Independent School District.
Nikki Salzillo, board chairman of the San Antonio Education Partnership, says Perez is the right person to help the nonprofit more forward.
"Our newly appointed executive director, Ms. Eyra Perez, is a 20-year veteran educator," Salzillo says. "She understands the mission of the Education Partnership as well as the value of café college to San Antonio. She will be instrumental in our continued success."
Perez says the nonprofit also plans to launch a marketing campaign later on this year that will specifically target individuals who don't fit the "stereotypical" college student profile.
The details of the campaign will be discussed at a later date.
Perez says she will also be working to move the nonprofit's administrative offices from its current location at 206 San Pedro Ave. to a building downtown, at 131 El Paso St., which now houses the group's café college operations. The partnership leases the space on San Pedro from the City of San Antonio.
Café college, a college information center funded by the city and managed by San Antonio Education Partnership, currently occupies a 5,500-square-foot space featuring a large lounge area, a coffee bar, two private conference rooms, a large classroom and a small computer lab.
Perez says the plan is to renovate a separate 9,000-square-foot building on the property to house administrative offices, a large computer lab, and additional classrooms.
The renovation and move, she says, is currently slated for the end of the summer of 2012.
The San Antonio Education Partnership's supporting partners include the city of San Antonio, the corporate community, eight school districts serving 25 area high schools, local colleges/universities, Communities Organized for Public Service (COPS) and Metro Alliance.

Market guide | Zillow predicts Ledroit Park home values will increase 2% next year, compared to a 2.6% increase for Washington as a whole. Among Ledroit Park homes, this home is valued 70.5% more than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 64.3% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the Ledroit Park market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold fell 14.3% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 36.8% less than in Washington, and 72.1% less than the national average.

NORMAN — Cooler temperatures and rainfall on Friday and Saturday prompted city officials Monday to lift restrictions on watering.
Norman lifts watering ban
A mandatory watering rotation program had been in place since July 11.
City Manager Steve Lewis asked residents to continue to voluntarily conserve water as Oklahoma remains in a serious drought.
Good conservation measures include watering outdoors no more often than every other day and setting sprinklers for late night or early morning operation, Lewis said, and watering only trees, shrubs and cool-weather grasses that will die if not watered.
City officials will continue to monitor the drought. Should conditions warrant, mandatory water conservation could be reinstated.

Though his production has been inconsistent, his targets haven't. He has averaged 11.5 in his last four games, getting no fewer than nine in any of them. That bodes well for his matchup Week 15 at Indianapolis. The Colts rank 18th against the pass, allowing 241.5 points per game. They've allowed the 10th-fewest Fantasy points to tight ends, but they haven't faced any notable ones since Week 7 against the Broncos, when Julius Thomas had five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown against them.
Graham had four catches for 46 yards when he faced the Colts in Week 9, but he wasn't being targeted as much at the time. As many looks as he's getting now, both Jamey Eisenberg and Nathan Zegura like him as a top-12 tight end for this week. Dave Richard is a little more reserved, ranking him 15th.
Graham played a big part in the passing game, as he was targeted 14 times through the air. He brought in eight of those passes for 73 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Graham has already posted career-highs across the board this season, so everything from here on out will just pad his totals. He enters Week 15 against the Colts with 49 receptions for 545 yards and five touchdowns.
The Jaguars held Graham to 32 yards in Week 12, but fellow tight end Ryan Griffin also caught a pass for 37 yards, meaning the Jags allowed 69 total yards to the tight end position. In three of the last four games, the Jags have allowed 65 or more receiving yards to the position, along with two touchdowns. Graham is far from a sure thing, but he's seeing a ton of passes, and is facing a defense that has allowed the third-most Fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. He's not someone to hang your playoff hopes on, but there's a good enough matchup here to start Graham in many streaming situations.
Graham, whose longest reception went 17 yards, has been held to less than 40 yards in two straight games since totaling a franchise-record 136 receiving yards Week 11. He's also gone two straight games without a touchdown.
The Texans have a quick turnaround Week 14, playing at Jacksonville Thursday.
The Pats have been about middle-of-the-pack against tight ends this season, allowing them to score 7.18 Fantasy points per game. The team has allowed 18 passing touchdowns in 11 games. Only four of those touchdowns have gone to tight ends.
Graham has been a fairly large part of the passing game since Case Keenum took over, catching 21 of his 38 receptions with Keenum at quarterback. He hasn't been a big threat to score with Keenum, though. After scoring three touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season, Graham has caught just one since. Graham probable isn't a strong matchup Week 13.

Liverpool agree settlement with former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett
The Americans were unhappy with the way a sale to Fenway Sports Group was concluded
Liverpool have agreed an out-of-court settlement with former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett over the sale of the club in 2010.
The Americans were unhappy with the way a sale to Fenway Sports Group (then New England Sports Ventures) was concluded by Sir Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre, who were respectively Liverpool chairman, managing director and commercial director at the time.
Hicks and Gillett subsequently made a number of claims and allegations against the trio, which were all denied, and resulted in legal proceedings.
However, all parties have come to a confidential agreement which has resulted in all allegations being withdrawn and the court case being concluded.
A club statement read: "In October 2010, Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Limited (Liverpool FC) was sold to the Fenway Sports Group.
"As a consequence of that sale, Thomas Hicks and George Gillett (being the former owners of Liverpool FC) made a number of allegations and claims against Sir Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre (being the company directors responsible for the sale of Liverpool FC to the Fenway Sports Group).
"Those allegations and claims were denied by Messrs Broughton, Purslow and Ayre.
"The allegations, claims and denials resulted in legal proceedings being commenced.
"The parties have now agreed a settlement (the terms of which are confidential).
"All claims and allegations made against Messrs Broughton, Purslow and Ayre have been withdrawn by Messrs Hicks and Gillett and all legal proceedings between the parties concluded.
"The parties will not be making any further statement to the press."
Hicks and Gillett came under increasing pressure from creditors Royal Bank of Scotland to expedite the sale of the club in 2010 and Broughton was brought in to lead the process.
However, when he, Purslow and Ayre outvoted Hicks and Gillett on the decision to sell to FSG the Americans tried to reconstitute the board and sack Purslow and Ayre.
That failed as Hicks and Gillett were deemed to be in breach of an agreement with RBS which permitted Broughton to lead the sale process and make decisions as to the composition of the boards.
In the spring of 2012 Hicks and Gillett took their case against Broughton, Purslow and Ayre - and RBS - to court, alleging that they conspired to sell the club at a reduced price.
They claimed RBS and the Liverpool directors had deliberately blocked their attempts to refinance, allegations denied by RBS.
But after a lengthy and involved process led by Liverpool's general counsel Natalie Wignall, a deal has been struck to bring an end to the legal action against Broughton, Purslow and Ayre.
The status of Hicks and Gillett's case against RBS - whom the Americans claim were too actively involved in the sale process - remains unclear and no one at the bank was immediately available for comment.
At a High Court hearing in October Mr Justice Peter Smith said it was a matter which ought to go to trial.
"There is in my mind a question as to whether or not RBS truly distanced itself from the sale process," he said.
"In reality, what actually happened between April 2010 and October 2010 can only be discerned by a trial when the relevant players give evidence and their evidence is tested by cross-examination in the light of the contemporaneous documents.
"In my view, it would be wrong and a denial of justice potentially at this preliminary stage to deny the former owners an opportunity to have a trial on this issue.
"This matter should be brought to a speedy conclusion.
"I would wish directions to be agreed if possible with a view to this action... being heard early in 2013."
RBS confirmed it too had settled with Hicks and Gillett, therefore ending all outstanding claims by the Americans in this country.
"All claims and allegations against RBS arising out of the sale process have been withdrawn (and will not be repeated) by Messrs Hicks and Gillett and as a consequence all legal proceedings between the parties have been concluded," said a statement from RBS.
"The parties have agreed a settlement (the terms of which are confidential)."
Purslow, who stepped down from his managing director role at the club a couple of weeks after FSG took over, expressed his pleasure at the conclusion to the matter.
"I am delighted we can finally close this traumatic chapter in the history of Liverpool FC," he said in a statement to Press Association Sport.
"I was brought in to fix the financial crisis at the club by leading the search for new owners and that is precisely what I did.
"I would particularly like to thank Sir Martin Broughton for agreeing to come to our club to lead our board at a difficult time, all my fellow Liverpool supporters, members of LFC staff and the entire football family for their unwavering support and the solidarity shown to me during my time at Liverpool - especially over the past two and a half years since I stepped down."

I actually really like this concealer, enough to say love actually...wen the MUA at mac put it on under my eyes i did not like it at all, it was cakey,mask like, and look horrible under lights...then again she didnt blend it out and put to much, i still decided to buy it as i liked the consistency and the highlight it gave (im an nw50 and got nw40) i was goin out that night and i used this concealer to highlight around my face and i loved it SO MUCH, it stayed all night, looked great in pictures and it didnt crease or settle into lines until after about 6 hrs which is amazing since bobbi brown, laura mercier, MUFE, tarte and most drugstore concealers crease after maybe 3 hrs...i dont like sqeezy packages as i always squeeze to much out but a little really goes a long way with this concealer

I bought this product as an under eye cover up, i have slightly blue circles.
First off this product is really quite liquid like, it's quite thin so it doesn't cover up my circles all too well, if i put a few layers on it will cover up but it would start looking quite mask like.
I would say this concealer if sheer to medium. I bought the NW15 it is really really pale, and a tiny tiny amount goes an extremely long way.
Since it is so thin it doesn't cake under the thin lines and skin of your eyes, which is why I bought it, but unfortunately it doesn't cover up too well, my blue circles are quite faint. So if you have quite dark under eye circles or blemishes, you'll need something more full coverage.
Instead of using this under my eyes, I use it as an eye shadow prep, and highlighter.
If you were to use this an an under eye concealer, it will last you a very long time.
I wouldn't repurchase this again.

This got a 'Paula's pick' and thus a higher rating than some 'MAC ' products like 'studio fix foundation', and I do not understand why. This does have skin identical ingredients and a tiny amount of antioxidants but the 'Studio fix foundation' does too. The foundation also has sunscreen and this does not (this is not a big deal but it's convenient.) What annoys me the most though is once I finished applying it ,and woar it for a few days I noticed it has fall out aargh! I expected more. Sorry MAC.
I use this product mostly as a primer but bought it for my under eyes. I found this to have light to medium coverage and does a great job covering the occasional pimple or hyperpigmentation marks that needs a little more attending to that a foundation can't cover. However i have combo skin, because i use the acne.org regimen and my skin has places that are drier than others. So this concealer does settle into lines on my dry spots or will want to melt away after a few hers on the parts of my face that are more oily. It works best if you set with powder and lasts longer, but sometimes i just don't have time to do that. I wish this was creamier and i don't find it ideal for under eyes especially if you are older. It has lasted me a year though, and makes a great primer.
First of all i live in canada so this cost me about 30 bucks. Hardly covered anything at all and was kinda hard to blend . Packaging was okay will not repurchase
LOVE THIS CONCEALER. I have tried all the drug store concealers and finally found the B's to get this MAC concealer and I am so glad! This product does not dry out my dry skin areas and stays on my oil skin areas. I have found that it stays put after a long, hot work day. The packaging is great because it does not dispense too much product, as much as you want. Would buy again 100%
I am NC20 and use this product to cover up acne/blemishes.

I have this concealer in both NW20 and NW25. It covers just about everything for me: under eye area, acne scars, zits and general redness. Doesn't crease under the eyes which is a huge plus for me as my under eye area can get very dry and most products just make it worse. Apply sparingly as it does tend to look cakey if you don't blend it properly. Packaging can be annoying because I find that it gives too much product too easily and it's not like I can put it back in the bottle. Great product for a high coverage concealer though, I've repurchased several times.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this concealer in the shade NC35 and it comes with 10mL of product. I think you get a really good deal for the $ you pay for. This is a concealer with light-medium coverage. One layer is not enough for my acne scars but it's buildable to the coverage of my liking without ever looking cakey. The packaging is really nice, too. It's a squeeze tube so you can be sure that you're getting the last drop of product. It's also very moisturizing since it's a liquid and it's never drying. The only thing I don't like is its longevity. I do set it with a powder but it doesn't seem to last me the entire day. My dark circles and acne scars seep through after 5 hours of wear. However, I would still repurchase it when I run out because it looks so natural. I usually wear this when I don't need a lot of coverage.
I have, like so many others, hereditary dark circles. I am pale so now in winter they are shocking. I was even looking at injectables as a solution it was bugging me that bad. So I have tried Clinique's All About Eyes in the lightest shad and it was a weird yellow and cakey , EL Double wear cakey and dry, Lancome Effercenes in 01 it was the best yet but not perfect, I still could see circles though diminished. Also tried Touche Eclat, Lumi, Revlon...
This may be the final HG!!!!
My shade is NW20. It is moisturizing, GREAT colour and natural. My daughter (who is my six year old make up critique) said "I can't see the weird purple stuff under your eyes anymore" 'nuff said
Mac really knows their stuff when it comes to concealers. I really like this one. It gives such a true color and the coverage is good too. I have tried so many others out there Cle de Peau, Chanel, Laura mercier the secret concealer and secret camouflage, Dior, Bobbi Brown, Etc and I always come back to mac. The only other concealer I would say I like almost as much is the makeup for ever concealers Lift and Full Coverage. Mac still wins though

The firm filed for bankruptcy in late October, which triggered an army of lawyers, regulators and members of the Justice Department to descend on the firm, all of them trying to seize control of their portion of the puzzle, The New York Times reported Thursday.
A major focus of the investigation is an unexplained gap of $600 million. That may be harder to explain as time goes by, said Commodity Futures Trading Commission member Bart Chilton.
"The lost money is sort of like a lost child. Every day that passes is more and more concerning, and there's less and less hope," he said.
At a court hearing Wednesday in New York, Judge Martin Glenn asked James Kobak, a lawyer for the trustee assigned with the task of returning money to MF Global clients, if he knew if the firm's capital and the customers' accounts had been thrown in together – a serious breach of financial law.
"I don't think anyone knows the answer," Kobak told the judge.

Regrets I've had a few, says IOC's Rogge
Jacques Rogge, outgoing International Olympic Committee president, during a press conference in Buenos Aires on September 4, 2013. He admitted at his final solo press conference as IOC President he would step down with a few regrets over his 12-year reign.
The 71-year-old Belgian -- who was elected in Moscow in 2001 to replace long-time IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch -- added he would not be feeling nostalgic when he hands over to his successor after the presidential election on September 10 in Buenos Aires.
Rogge, a former Olympic yachtsman who also represented Belgium in rugby union, said the role he had performed for over a decade had brought him many different experiences and memories.
"Have I enjoyed it? Not always. Was it exciting? Definitely, and it was a privilege of course to be president," said Rogge.
"You have good and bad moments but the fact is the biggest reward for me was the athletes welfare and in that I was successful."
Rogge, whose greatest achievement perhaps was to restore the image of the IOC after Samaranch's reign ended sourly with the bribes for votes scandal surrounding the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games, was clear about what he saw as being the highs and the lows.
"The moments that pleased me the most was appearing at the closing ceremonies for three Summer Games and three Winter ones as well as two Youth Olympics and being able to say that all were very good Games for the athletes.
"For athletes are the core of the Games.
"The worst moment and one that I will never forget was the death of the Georgian luge athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili (killed in a training accident on the day of the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010)."
Rogge said he wasn't going to sit back and reflect that everything had been rosy.
"I'm a perfectionist, being an athlete you always strive to be better, so yes there are things which could have been better but I am glad that the athletes had very good Games which they competed in," he said.
Rogge, who cites former South African President Nelson Mandela as the most impressive person he met during his time as head of the IOC, said the final days of his tenure would be emotional.
"Of course it will be emotional, but I'm going without any nostalgia," said Rogge.
"I will look to the future. I will still attend IOC meetings as an honorary member. This is not a farewell to the IOC."
Rogge, who leaves having seen his brainchild the Youth Olympic Games become a reality, said he left satisfied that while the ogre of doping still haunted sport, it was a far riskier enterprise now for those who did take doping substances.
"I can say with certainty that it is far harder to get away with doping than it was 10 years ago," he said.
"Of course you can't be naive and say it has gone away entirely."
Rogge, who will also spend his retirement reading, visiting art galleries and driving his grandchildren to school and sports days, bowed out with one of his moments of dry humour when asked what he would have liked to have achieved but wasn't able to.
"It is not a matter that I wasn't able to, but I was not successful in going to bed early and sleeping late in the morning."

The only misguided one here are uneducated people like you. Cleopatra was NOT of African decent, ancien black Africans did NOT have European names like Cleopatra. Black Americans like you who are obsessed with Cleopatra are delusional beyond belief and clearly show that you have little to know education never mind knowing what the 'truth' is. Cleopatra was European and as white as her name, she came from a long line of INBREEDING European rulers who viewed black Africans as inferior to themselves. They couldn't even tell Nubians apart from chimps that's how little to no contact these foreign xenophobic rulers had with native Africans. Let me know if you want the ancient documents that confirm this because unlike yourself, I have studied the Ptolemaic era of Egypt extensively. In fact the Ptolemies ruled Egypt as an apartheid state with native Egyptians HATING their guts because they were being treated so cruelly by these megalomaniac foreign European rulers, they had them so much that Cleopatra and her dad PAID Rome to come in and protect their asses from native Egyptians who were uprising to kick their European asses out of Egypt. Egypt was bled dry by the Ptolemies paying protection money to the Romans to keep the Ptolemies in power in Egypt. Look in the mirror for self loathing because you are obviously not educated on the mater or else you wouldn't be trying to claim a white European foreign Queen of Egypt who's European family was hated by native Egyptians and who BLED Egypt dry. You'd should be doing what I told you originally and turn towards REAL Egyptian Pharaohs like King Tut and Queen Tiye, not talking about foreign European ones who conquered Egypt from the Persians and bled the country dry with their greed.Wowwww. You are so misguided. Not only was Cleopatra very likely of African decent I will speak for the Black community when I say no one is obsessed with Cleopatra's race. It is more true that we are sick and tired of seeing the European or Caucasian depiction of things and total disregard for the truth. I won't even get starte don how civilization started in Africa or how education, math, and science were born in this great country yet the white supremacist would have all Black people believing that we are a unintelligent race incapable of learning. All I know is Caucasians, especially white americans, have left the truth out of the history books. You people do not want Africans or African Americans to know their history of their strength but I will say this: You pillage and plunder your way throughout many self-sustaining civilizations and steal what you can probably the result of self-loathing. Black Egyptians DID rule Egypt in the height of their success. Please get your facts straight instead of displaying propaganda. Also if it were not for "stinky" "filthy" "barbaric" Africans inventing not only soap but toilets as well most of you would have suffered from the Bubonic Plague and died.

Press Release WHO/1 14 January 1999 |
"There is solid evidence to prove that investing wisely in health will help the world take a giant leap out of poverty. We can drastically reduce the global burden of disease. If we manage, hundred of millions of people will be better able to fulfil their potential, enjoy their legitimate human rights and be driving forces in development. People would benefit. The economy would benefit. The environment would benefit. It is a complex process but it can be done," Dr Brundtland said. She was speaking in London at a seminar entitled "Public Health for a New Era". Although the world has long known that poverty breeds ill health, Dr Brundtland said it has become clear that ill health also perpetuates poverty. "Turning that around we end up with a simple, but vastly significant assertion: improved health is a key factor for human development and again, for the development of nations and for their economic growth". The seminar, organized by The King's Fund, an independent British health charity established in 1897, was also addressed by Amartya Sen, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Economics, Clare Short, UK Secretary of State for International Development, Tessa Jowell, UK Minister of State for Public health and Sir Donald Acheson, author of the UK's Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health. The poor, Dr Brundtland pointed out, are the most exposed to the risks of a hazardous environment, and the least informed about threats to health. It is the poor who bear the brunt of crude structural adjustment policies and unregulated globalization, of epidemics of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. "In the fight against poverty, we need to approach rich and poor countries alike", she stressed. Dr Brundtland pleaded her case by stating that "investing in effective health systems will mean more successful, cohesive societies, sound economies and less social damage". She proceeded to say that "improved health is a key factor for human development From being an unproductive consumer of public budgets, health is now gradually seen as a central element of productivity itself". Our lack of interest in health as an economic concept is due to complacency, the WHO Chief suggested. This is "promoted by powerful interests in health care technology, including within the health professions themselves .Health systems have become dumping ground for the consequences of inadequate policy". Setting out WHO's policy on health and economic development, Dr Brundtland emphasised the need for improved policies on health which must encompass economics, politics, the environment and social issues. "A window of opportunity has opened up. We should use it to provide convincing advice, backed up by hard evidence, on the best policies and cost-effective processes through which health can fulfil its development potential." During her visit to London (13-15 January), Dr Brundtland is to call on British Prime Minister Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. The meeting is to concentrate on bilateral relations between WHO and the United Kingdom, and on the ways and means of securing an even greater participation of UK institutions in WHO's special projects: be it Roll Back Malaria or Tobacco Free Initiative. Dr Brundtland is also meeting Mrs Clare Short, Secretary of State for International Development. Note to Editors Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director-General of WHO, will be speaking at a King's Fund seminar "Public Health for a New Era" at 11.30 a.m. on Thursday, 14 January 1999. Other speakers include: Clare Short, UK Secretaryf State for International Development, Tessa Jowell, UK Minister of State for Public Health, Professor Amartya Sen, Master, Trinity College, Cambridge, and Sir Donald Acheson, author of the UK's Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health.
