The iconic Cooper lineup includes both a hardtop and a convertible model. The two body styles come in base and S trim levels, with S models being turbocharged for more power. While the Cooper hardtop was redesigned in 2007, the convertible remained through 2008. The second-generation convertible appears this year as a 2009 model. While there's no car quite like a Mini, the Cooper competes with the VW Eos, VW Beetle, Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder and BMW 1 Series.
There's also a John Cooper Works edition that has 208 horsepower and more performance enhancements. The John Cooper Works edition competes with high-end sports compacts like the Honda Civic coupe, Mazda3 and Volkswagen Rabbit.
(Skip to details on the: Mini John Cooper Works)
New for 2009
Electronic stability control is now standard across the lineup.
The design of the second-generation convertible looks enough like the first that the 2009 doesn't look much different to casual observers. The convertible has a powered soft-top that can be moved back like a moonroof or opened entirely. The most noticeable difference is that the roll bar, which used to stick up behind the backseat head restraints, is now active; it's visible, but rests low unless a rollover occurs, in which case it pops up to provide protection. The convertible gets exclusive graphite-colored 16-inch alloy wheels. Any Cooper can be had with contrasting-colored roof and mirrors.
With a 145.6-inch length and 66.3-inch width, the Cooper is one of the smallest vehicles available in the U.S. market.
- Available 15-, 16- or 17-inch wheels
- Available auto-leveling front/rear fog lights
- Folding power mirrors
- Hood-scoop intake (on S models)
- Optional heated mirrors, washer jets and automatic windshield wipers
- Optional automatic bi-xenon headlamps with integrated washers
- Optional dual-panel panoramic power sunroof (on hardtop)
The Cooper's interior features a center-mounted speedometer; that console also incorporates the audio system and optional navigation system. Where the convertible used to have a smaller but more legible speedometer, the 2009 convertible has adopted the hardtop's.
The convertible's soft-top works as it always has, with an initial sunroof action, but it now opens or closes fully in a claimed 15 seconds and can be operated at up to 20 mph. There's also a standard Openometer that tracks how much time you've driven with the top down. The convertible's cargo volume is more than respectable at 6.0 cubic feet. Lowering the top doesn't decrease trunk space at all, and the backseat can be folded to increase volume to 23.3 cubic feet, both of which are increases over the previous-generation convertible. The trunk opening has also been enlarged.
Overall, the Cooper is much roomier inside than people expect.
- Cloth, leatherette or leather upholstery in multiple colors
- Standard power windows and locks, plus keyless entry
- Standard air conditioning with a climate-controlled glove box
- Optional automatic air conditioning
- Optional heated seats
- Optional 10-speaker stereo with HD radio
- Optional Bluetooth and USB/iPod adapter
- Optional navigation system
Under the Hood
The Cooper convertible now offers the same engines as the Cooper hardtop: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder in the base model and a turbocharged version in the S, replacing the first-generation supercharged four-cylinder.
Compared with the Cooper, the Cooper S has a sportier suspension. The Cooper S has a 0-60 mph time of 6.7 seconds and achieves an estimated 29 mpg average fuel economy with the manual transmission. With its redesign, the convertible's mileage is up and its emissions are down in line with the hardtop's.
Mechanical features include:
- 118-hp, 1.6-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with 114 pounds-feet of torque
- 172-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with 177 pounds-feet of torque from 1,600 to 5,000 rpm, and brief bursts of 192 hp from 1,700 to 4,500 rpm (S)
- Standard six-speed manual transmission
- Optional six-speed automatic
- Standard performance tires or optional all-season run-flat tires
- Optional sport suspension with stiffer front and rear stabilizer bars
Safety features include:
- Standard side-impact torso airbags (hardtop)
- Standard side-impact head/torso airbags (convertible)
- Standard side curtain airbags (not available on convertible)
- Standard antilock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution
- Standard electronic stability control
- Optional parking sonar and alarm system
Mini John Cooper Works
A new John Cooper Works version of the Mini debuts for 2009 as both the regular two-door hatchback and the new extended-length Clubman. A convertible version is scheduled to arrive in April. Whereas previous JCW Minis featured a supercharged four-cylinder, 2009's models are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder that makes 208 hp at 6,000 rpm and 192 pounds-feet of torque from 1,850 to 6,600 rpm. (The engine, according to Mini, can briefly raise boost pressure when accelerating to achieve 207 pounds-feet of torque from 2,000 to 5,100 rpm.)
With the standard six-speed manual transmission, Mini says the John Cooper Works can hit 62 mph in 6.5 seconds (6.8 seconds for the Clubman).
Besides the extensive changes under the hood, these hot-rod Minis also feature unique 17-inch alloy wheels, high-performance brakes and a different exhaust system. As with other Minis, the automaker offers a number of ways to personalize John Cooper Works cars.
If those enhancements aren't enough, you might want to take a look at the available John Cooper Works accessories. They include a sport suspension with red springs, drilled brake discs, a rear spoiler, a suspension brace and carbon-colored trim pieces.
For a small front-wheel-drive hatchback, the Cooper S is already a blast to drive, and the new JCW goodies make the hatchback even more appealing.

Mission Hospital pays $1.5M to settle allegations
Published: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 10:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 10:25 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — The largest hospital in the North Carolina mountains has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle allegations that it performed medical procedures on a costly inpatient basis when they could have been done cheaper.
Mission Hospital says there was no intention to defraud Medicare. The hospital says no procedures were done unnecessarily.
The U.S. Justice Department says the allegations involve a type of back surgery that can be performed on a less expensive outpatient basis.
Mission CEO Ronald Paulus says hospital doctors concluded that inpatient procedures were the best approach, but that the federal government said there wasn't enough documentation to back up those decisions.
Mission was one of 14 hospitals nationwide that agreed to pay roughly $12 million because of the procedures.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - A raging wildfire is moving
dangerously close to heavily populated areas in Santa Barbara this
As firefighters struggled to get ahead of the blaze, the fire's increasing strength prompted officials to order 6,000 more people
to evacuate. That pushed the total number of evacuated residents to
at least 18,000.
Another evacuation order was issued early today in a densely populated area north of U.S. 101 where many mobile home parks are located.
Meantime, neighborhoods of multimillion dollar mansions stand like ghost towns, bathed in the eerie orange glow cast by the
nearby blaze.
Santa Barbara city fire spokesman Gary Pitney says the fire has pushed west across a key thoroughfare between Santa Barbara and wine country to the north.
Fire official Kelley Gouette likened the fire to "a

Perspectives needed -- feeling very unhappy about ethical stance

It isn't necessary to have a primary/secondary hierarchical approach to poly. It sounds like D has a number of casual relationships with people he simply doesn't consider "partners." They may be sexual partners but that's about it. If they are just FWBs (friends with benefits), I can understand both his and Q's stance entirely. What a waste of time and energy to meet all the people he's involved with, especially if they're just folks with whom he has casual liaisons. The important thing to find out, IMHO, is how he practices safer sex. However, there just may not be enough of a basis of relationship with them to warrant introductions and developing camaraderie with other people he's with. But don't assume that he isn't honest with them about having other relationships; he probably is.
I understand it because I am "solo poly" myself. I have no desire for a primary partner and keep my relationships separate. It would just be weird for anyone I date to formally meet and try to have a connection with other guys I date. Right now I am in transition; I have one steady lover-friend, and I am in the process of starting new relationships with about three or four potentials. If I asked any of my potential lovers to meet each other, everyone's reaction would probably be, "Huh? That's not what I signed up for. We just met. I want a nice, comfy, casual friendship with sex. I don't want to jump through hoops and meet your other lovers for that!" In fact, I think my steady guy would be very uncomfortable with meeting anyone else I have a relationship with, even though he and I have thoroughly discussed the fact that we are not exclusive, and I know he would be happy and compersive for me if/when something takes off with these other guys.

Hmmm. What makes you think that none of the things you mention can exist for any of D's lovers unless they meet all of his other lovers? My lover and I would have compersion for each other if we never meet anyone else the other is seeing. Our other partners or potential partners know we are involved even though they will never meet. Why would meeting you and Q magically grant D's lovers a "voice?" They may be perfectly satisfied just knowing that D has other people he is involved with, and not feel any desire to meet them.
So, that's just another perspective that I think may relate to how Q and D feel about it. Perhaps if he had a commitment to a serious primary partner, the parameters would indeed be different. But he doesn't. He doesn't have partners; he may have flings, fuck buddies, casual girlfriends, or FWBs -- but no Partners with a capital P. Your agreement is to meet partners. I don't see it as being broken in this case, since he doesn't have that kind of partner-type relationship with anyone. Think about it this way, if he has a one night stand with someone, are you going to insist on meeting that person the morning after? Also, Q would likely be another one of his casual relationships. Is she ready for that or does she think she will be some kind of primary for him? Will she be able to handle it if she may never be "elevated" above the others in his view? Just something to think about.
Added: You did say there are details you left out of your original post, so it's possible my viewpoint won't hold water if there are other glaring issues or reasons not to trust this guy. But I offer my perspective as just that -- another perspective you may not have considered.
The world opens up... when you do.

The current Hangar and Ramp Planner software evolves a new version, the web based Ground Control, happening soon. Please click for testimonials and details on the value of planning. Hangar and Ramp Planner is developed for anyone who needs to explore various ways to use available hangar space, determine what space is required for a future hangar or assist in setting up a crowded parking ramp. In other words, if your ground space is valuable and active, Hangar and Ramp Planner will help in stacking that ground space to get the most return on the dollar. While the software can assist you in determining needs for future hangars and ramps, it is not designed to replace the architect in designing your facility. Additionally, Hangar and Ramp Planner will not alert you to the fact that the only way you can add one more aircraft to the hangar is to lower it from above. It will also not tell you that you should not overlap wings on aircraft with roughly the same height of wings, say a Lear 55 and the Raytheon Premier One. In other words, it will let you place aircraft in any position in the hangar, but relies on the you to know that you cant make an aircraft turn that sharp a corner when parking it.
Hangar and Ramp Space Planner is designed to work with the SmartDraw application, as it is an easy to learn and use program that allows the user who doesnt have the need to use one of the costly highend user programs. SmartDraw provides an easy way to manipulate the aircraft drawings used in Hangar and Ramp Space Planner, and it also has some very fine features and templates which you might find handy in other facets of your aviation related business.
If you find that an aircraft you need is not in the collection, give us a call (or send an email to email@example.com)and let use know. If you can supply a three view of the aircraft, (top, side and front) send it and we'll provide you with the SmartDraw files free to all current maintenance buyers. View list of suported aircraft.

I am a freelance GIS consultant with specialities in 3D visualisation (e.g. www.deepmaps.co.uk and animated landscape models for public participation in planning), wind farm analysis and bespoke geospatial analysis.
Previously I have lead a small commercial GIS consultancy team in a large research institute, headed up a team undertaking a massive geo-data processing endeavour of entire country and world-wide data sets as part of an ambitious computer games development project before becoming GeoMatics Manager for the UK branch of a German wind farm company.
I 'grew up' on ArcInfo 6.x and migrated to ArcGIS, while dabbling with Idrisi and ERDAS Imagine. I now predominantly use open source software (e.g. GDAL/OGR, Shapely, PostGIS, OpenLayers, QGIS, GRASS, Mapnik etc.) and highly commend the OSGeo 'stable' to anybody looking for an alternative to expensive proprietary GIS solutions. Other experience includes WindPro, WindFarm, OpenWind, Blender, GIMP, Python and Eclipse.

The AVMA encourages veterinarians to educate clients and the public about the dangers associated with allowing cats free-roam access to the outdoors.
Free-roaming cats may be exposed to injury, suffering, and death from vehicles; attacks from other animals; human cruelty; poisons; and traps. Additionally, these cats are more likely to be exposed to feline-specific and zoonotic diseases, and will prey on and can negatively impact native wildlife populations.

I tried to keep track of how many rounds I've shot through a particular gun; but I lose count. How do you do it?
BTW, Happy 1000th round.
This is a discussion on First 1000 rounds! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So I just finished firing off my thousandth round through my Glock 23, purchased in November. It has been worry free, field stripped and cleaned ...
So I just finished firing off my thousandth round through my Glock 23, purchased in November. It has been worry free, field stripped and cleaned after every range visit, and tonight I took apart the slide and 'cleaned the guts', figuring it would be a good guideline to do that every 1000 rounds. The pistol is a joy to shoot, and while I am getting better, it can still shoot straighter than I can make it! The only failure I had was tonight, firing Federal 180gr FMJ, indoors, gun was warmed up(about 60 rounds fired already), and I suddenly got a failure to feed! It was the 13th round of a 13 round mag, number 12 fired and 13 seemed to just follow it up, nose of bullet pointing at the ceiling. Checked the bullet, no obvious deformities, so I loaded it back into the mag by itself, racked it and it fired with no further complaint! I am chocking it up to being a fluke, since the first 100 rounds were fmj but the second hundred were JHP's and fed flawlessly.... Oh well, just wanted to give my 1000 round range report for my pistol. Thanks for listening, err, looking!
I tried to keep track of how many rounds I've shot through a particular gun; but I lose count. How do you do it?

Trust in God and keep your powder dry

"It was the 13th round of a 13 round mag, number 12 fired and 13 seemed to just follow it up, nose of bullet pointing at the ceiling."
Time for a fresh magazine spring.
Not quite enough upward spring pressure as your magazine empties out.
I have too many handguns and reload so I can only guestimate and all my guns have several thousand rounds thru them.If you have multiple mags its a good idea to number them,usually on the bottom of the base plate
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
A thousand rounds fired in about four months......that's going at it pretty heavy IMO. I would used to do 100-150 per month through any of my pistols for practice. On the magazine springs in the G23 mags.............you can try using the G22 magazine springs in the G23 magazines for the standard (hi-cap) mags. One failure to feed in a thousand? Well, it's still a failure but statistically likely. I figure your mag springs are fine. The last round probably wasn't seated in the magazine completely, and likely a bit forward on the follower when #12 went into the chamber. Then I have also had those sort of 'sticky' mag followers where I can chamber the first round out of a 13 round G23 magazine, and the twelve remaining in the mag will rattle meaning the follower didn't 'follow up' so-to-speak. Cleaning the inside of the magazine body or replacing the follower should do the trick. Several variables with the typical staggered column magazines...springs, followers, feed lips, cartridge seating (rim on rim or rim overlapping rim of the cartridge case heads). One should pay as much attention as to how they load their magazines as anything else, and maybe even more so. Sometimes forgetting to count your rounds while loading, and then attempting to load an extra round over capacity is enough to screw up the whole stack that's already loaded, or damage a follower. I'm just sayin'.
Glock on!
Thanks for the replies all! I will definately mark my mags and keep a closer eye on them now. As for 1000 in 4 months being too heavy, I have to disagree. I think that 100 rounds a month is a minimum number just to make sure the gun is working properly(for a carry/SD gun). But I also think that to build skill, practice, practice, and practice are in order. I got the gun in November, of course excited and went out to shoot the heck out of it, then CPL preparation and class, that can make the round count climb. Now I plan on taking a handgun course in May that will burn 500 rounds in a one day session, so I think that I will be at 2000 rounds before I know it. I find that I really love shooting, and if it was cheaper or I was good enough to make a living at it, I would shoot 500 rounds a day!
Don't worry about shooting your pistol too much. Enjoy the thing. It will last many many thousands of rounds.
Speak softly, and carry a big stick.
A failure in 1000 founds is equal 0.001%, which I consider acceptable. Do not worry about it and keep shooting.

Making paper airplanes doesn't feel like science. And it's not quite art. Near as we can figure, it's magic. Sure, paper airplanes fly because of good, old reliable physics. And it takes a sharp eye and a clean fold to make them right. But launching a regular old piece of paper into the sky so that it soars, loops and glides - that's pure magic. We present here a complete guide to folding aerobatic amazements. The ten airplanes in this book are the best we've ever seen: easy to make, forgiving of mistakes, attractive and flight-ready under all kinds of conditions. Clear instructions and step-by-step illustrations make even the most impressive planes kid do-able, while trimming and tweaking tips give basic principles of flight instant real-world relevance. This big (10" 12") book comes complete with 40 sheets of flight-tested, ready-to-fold paper, printed on both sides in a variety of 20 colourful patterns, including leopard print, wood grain, hot rod flames and lose-it-on-the-lawn-grass. It's everything you need to rule the skies. Comes With: 40 sheets of custom-designed paper.

Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney wants to transform the Veteran Affairs Department, with an emphasis on technology and reforms to business processes. Among the key promises he made during a July 24 address to the VFW National Convention in Reno, Nev., is reduce the backlog for disability benefit claims by eliminating unnecessary red tape and adopting a consistent electronic claims processing system.
In addition, Romney's reform plan would expand the VA health system to reach more of the 41 percent of veterans living in rural areas and make online consultations, tele-homecare and tele-monitoring more available.
If elected president, Romney said, he would also undo the $1.2 trillion in defense cuts slated to take effect Jan. 3, 2013. The across-the-board reductions, required under sequestration after a bipartisan committee failed to agree to more targeted cuts in 2011, would "severely shrink our force structure, and impair our ability to meet and deter threats," he said.
"Don't bother trying to find a serious military rationale behind any of this, unless that rationale is wishful thinking," Romney said at the Reno convention. "Strategy is not driving President Obama's massive defense cuts. In fact, his own secretary of defense warned that these reductions would be 'devastating.'"
(Fact check: What Romney calls "President Obama's massive defense cuts" are part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which passed Congress with the votes of 202 Republicans -- 174 in the House and 28 in the Senate.)
Romney's line of thinking contradicts the majority of Americans from both sides of the political aisle who support defense spending cuts. A July 16 survey by the Program for Public Consultation, the Stimson Center and the Center for Public Integrity showed 74 percent of those in districts represented by Republicans gave a thumbs-up to the defense cuts. In Democrat-run districts, 80 percent approved the substantial reductions to the military budget.

The Google Apps administrator decides and sets who can see the group members: So unless they've allowed you to see them, you can't. :)

That's a setting that the group owner has set. You can't override that. You'll need to go to the Google Groups web interface to post. (The address for the group is probably in the footer of the email you've been receiving, with other useful information.) The allowed post mechanisms are defined on the General Information page for the group. General ...
The most generic solution which should work for every address/mail provider and every Google group is send a mail to [Group Name]+firstname.lastname@example.com [http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-subscribe-or-join-google-groups-without-google-account/ ] Some Groups seem to be restricted to mails registered to the Google account. An example is the orient-...
Take a look at GroupSpaces - I was looking for a Google Groups replacement for managing a mailing list, and it seems to fit the bill really nicely.
Try gl=us or hl=en in the URL to force a change to the site.
You seem to be thinking that a "Google account" and a "Gmail address" are the same thing. This is not true; you can sign up with any email address. However, you cannot get away from the account requirement – for obvious security reasons.
Now, the reply you posted is under review due to the particular Google Group's Settings. Now, you cannot know when it gets accepted (in the same way as we - users with less reputation try to edit a post in SE and get the "until it is peer-reviewed" message. When the edit is accepted, we do not receive any email-notifications nor any inbox message in SE. All ...
To know if the group is moderated: Go up from the topic until you see the group web page (i.e. the page with the list of the topics) Click in the upper right About link (next to Members if you're logged). The Group Information page opens. On the Access row (above Statistics) you will see All posts are held for moderation text if the group is moderated.
Workaround: if you have calendar access, add the group to a calendar meeting, and expand the chevron to see the list. (May depend on Apps administrator granting access.) EDIT: direct access may also work for you according to the following pattern: https://groups.google.com/a/DOMAIN/forum/#!members/GROUPNAME where DOMAIN and GROUPNAME are replaced by the ...
The easiest method is to enable Also Allow anyone on the internet to post messages As you might guess, this will allow anyone to send messagse to the group without having to be a member of the group. Naturally this opens the address up to misuse as anyone outside of the organisation can email the group. The other option (I'm not sure if this is a ...
Since Google Apps supports unlimited groups, is it possible to use groups as a substitute for aliases?
In short, yes, you can use Google Groups as alias replacements. Please see the details below. There is no limit to the number of groups you can create.

UPDATE Google groups now supports multiple sign in. See Ruben's answer. Original Answer Google groups does not support multiple sign in. Because of this, it should use whatever account you logged into first in your current browser session.

Yahoo! Groups offers much of what Google Groups does. In their favor I like that the calendar is integrated better and you can have (nested!) folders. I moved away from Yahoo! Groups because I found the ads intrusive. (I do miss good file management, though.)
There's no way to do that by email, but changing the group's email settings can all be done fairly easily. When you go to Groups Home, you'll see the list of groups that you're a member of. If you have admin access you'll be able to edit the settings for that group. As for the users on your list, they'll be able to edit their individual preferences as well: ...

As far as I can understand what your problems are... You want to know how long attachments are kept in a Google Group? As long as Google doesn't warn you that the file will be deleted, I think they will last as long as the message they are attached to. Just like in Gmail, attachments will not get lost as long as you don't delete the message they were ...
If you click on the Gmail button and choose Contacts then choose your group, you can choose all members of that group and then selectively uncheck the ones you don't want.

Sure, this website's name could double for what you might say to that labmate who keeps changing the temperature of your water bath, but in this context Cut It Out refers to the fun (and slightly addicting) online game by New England Biolabs. If you've been swept up in the recent trend of word games, you'll appreciate this Scrabble-meets-strategy enzyme game (yes, enzyme game) in which you try to build restriction enzyme recognition sequences on the game board corresponding to the enzyme cards held in your hand. Each matching sequence earns you points, and 100 points wins you the game. You can play against the computer (easy, medium, or hard), or if you create an account you can challenge your friends. So, the next time you're waiting for that digest to finish, this may help you kill the time (but you didn't hear that from me).

Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

I have a recipe for oat and honey bread and it mentions the word 'tack'. Please can you tell me what this means? It says the following; "It should start coming together and getting more tack and less sticky after about 5 minutes"
I am not sure there is common meaning of "tack" that makes sense in this context. I suspect it is a typo for "tacky", but even so, tacky implies a certain amount of stickiness.
On the other hand, the outcome that is indicated is clear. When your dough first forms, it sticks to almost anything: the sides of the bowl, the counter, your hands, leaving a residue. As you knead and develop the gluten in the dough, it will prefer to stick to itself, rather than these surfaces.
