Like always, here are the latest rumors from our famous BMW insider, Scott27:
In an approach to bring a more radical approach to the compact segment BMW are currently working on an entirely introductory downsized luxury model for the compact segment. Spurred on by an increasing demand for downsized luxury cars and potential competitors from Audi and Mercedes-Benz. BMW are set to introduce their 2er line in a more expansive programme emulating the larger 6er and forthcoming 4er family line.
The key symmetrical approach for BMW would be to develop a 1er Sedan off of their new modular FWD architecture alongside a currently in development MINI sedan – aimed at increasing the potential of the popular small car in markets where small sedans are showing exceptional growth such as China and the US.
A FWD BMW 1er sedan would be the logical choice so it can be engineered alongside the MINI sedan. Except for one small issue… BMW customers want a RWD small sedan.
BMW are pushing ahead with their Gran Coupe series to accomodate the 4er after the introduction of the BMW 6er Gran Coupe.
The BMW 2er Gran Coupe now extends the 2er family and will offer a more flexible option for the customer that likes Coupe looks but needs that practicality but finds the current 3er out of range or too large for their needs.
Excitement is what BMW wants to create in the FWD dominated compact segment and the Gran Coupe is a car to bring classic sporting BMW values and a sense of tradition against modern rivals.
The 2er line showcases in design the need for individuality and seperation against its bretheren with both the RWD and FWD BMW 1er models showcasing this intention to highlight the more sportier look of the seperate 2er.
The 2er Gran Coupe showcases an individual appearance for the front and rear ends of the car over the current distinctive 1er. Their is a bloodline on the upcoming Coupe and Cabrio models but it is at the mid-line where the glasshouse meets the shoulder line when the car gets interesting.
Because of the stretch to accomodate a slightly lengthened platform as per the other Gran Coupe models the elongated roofline is lower ,more rounded and coupe esque in profile which fits in well with the short overhangs both front and rear of the 2er and that typical BMW wheel at each corner make it look almost like the E46 3er in side profile and in every respect as desirable as an E46.
The next 2er model showcases BMW innovation at its strongest especially for the experimental compact segment. A Touring would be the conventional reaction but BMW are defying the conventional in what to bring to an exciting growth segment , a concept which is appealing to those that desire something innovative and fresh in design but still combining practicality and exclusivity and that all important premium feel.
BMW are currently looking at the creation of another line – "Gran Tourer" to showcase more desirable and stylish approach to re-inventing the Touring for customers that would prefer more exclusivity than utility and to appeal to markets where the wagon (Touring) is all but dead.
The Gran Tourer line is being investigated with a 6er model and potentially a 4er model being more exclusive and stylish Shooting Brakes.
Given BMW's design director Adrian Van Hooydunk's admiration for the Hyundai Veloster . The 2er Gran Sport Tourer aims to enhance that level of individuality but offer customers the exciting profile of a Coupe and sports car , the idea actually comes from BMW in the guise of the classic 1600/2002 Touring model. Sporting looks with reasonable practicality and a full blooded RWD BMW. The Hyundai Veloster evokes an A-symmetrical language something that has been explored at BMW and an interesting feature on the MINI Clubman.
A-Symmetrical design ideas are very much in the plan for BMW and the Gran Sport Tourer takes A-symmetry to a new level of creativity for BMW.
The idea of a Sports Tourer with a split personality – A Jekyll and hyde concept is the idea of having a sportier coupe on the drivers side enhanced by a single large door opening into the passenger compartment. Whilst on the passenger side a conventional door with a recessed rear hinged door opening into the passenger cell.
The car will still be recognisable as a 2er but the more flat raked rear echoes the1600/2002 Touring which allows BMW to showcase a more historical but with added contemporary style link from the 2er to the 2002.
The BMW 2er will be BMW's response to the Mercedes-Benz CLA and Audi A3 Sedan. And it is all about offering new customers and BMW customers that want a more practical sporting sedan the most sporting option in the segment.
The priority question has to be what of a BMW M2 Gran Coupe?
Well question of M variants for the Gran Coupe or Gran Sports Tourer are not so advanced as the Coupe is progressing first. The potential is there for a smaller more focused M sedan from customers old and new alike but BMW might just follow suit as the predecessor M3 E30 and only offer a Coupe. As I stated earlier plans for such a model at M is not final at the current time.
Of course many enthusiasts excited at the prospect of a compact RWD M.sedan would be vocal for them not to consider evaluating the idea.

STEVENS POINT (AP) -- A Stevens Point man has been arrested for his 10th drunken-driving offense.
A Stevens Point Journal Media report says 38-year-old Michael Vollrath is set to make an initial court appearance March 10.
Portage County deputies arrested him Friday about 1:30 a.m. after finding his car in a ditch in the town of Linwood. A judge ordered him held on a $25,000 cash bond pending the filing of formal charges.
Vollrath was on supervision for his ninth operating-while-intoxicated conviction when he was arrested. His first conviction was in 1994.
Assistant prosecutor Cass Cousins says Vollrath's blood-alcohol level was 0.27 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
Vollrath has served four prison terms for drunken-driving convictions. He was also convicted of felony escape.

"Almost Somewhere: Twenty-Eight Days on the John Muir Trail," by Suzanne Roberts
$19.95, University of Nebraska Press, 262 pages
In 1993, as a recent college graduate, author Roberts, a teacher at Lake Tahoe Community College, had no clue what to do with her life. So why not hike the John Muir Trail? This memoir/travelogue recounts how the adventure changed her life. She also writes with verve, as in this aside while hiking near Tully Hole near Squaw Lake: "Tully Hole sounded to me like a derogatory nickname for a high school girl, as in, I can't believe what Tully Hole did with White Waters last night in the Circle K parking lot."

This could be the first 3DS flashcard
I say "could" because who knows if this is legit, what with this news coming out of nowhere from a company no one's heard of, but this demonstration video looks credible. Gateway says its device supports both standard and XL 3DSes, and works with any back-up ROMs. It's disappointing that the first product of this sort seems geared more toward piracy (which, we must once again remind you, we absolutely do not support) than homebrew purposes…
MaxConsole claims this video was put together before the Gateway team created some kind of "game manager" for the device, hence all the MicroSD switching you see here. However, there is also speculation that Nintendo could easily cripple the flashcard with a firmware update due to the presumed nature of its workaround (which doesn't look like it would even circumvent the system's region-locking).

GOLDEN POND, Ky. (AP) -- There won't be much recreation offered anytime soon at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
Much of the 170,000 heavily forested acres in western Kentucky and Tennessee remains closed to the public after the Jan. 27 ice storm knocked down timber and brought trees crashing down on roads, trails and facilities.
Almost all of the northern half of the area -- the part in Kentucky -- has been closed since the ice storm. Land Between the Lakes spokeswoman Kathryn Harper told The Paducah Sun that's likely to be the case for some time to come. In Tennessee, the damage wasn't as severe and the some of the area remains open.
The storm knocked out power for more than 700,000 people in Kentucky at its peak and state officials have attributed 36 deaths to storm-related causes.

"I have a list of childhood goals," Segel told Moviefone. "There are only three things on it: Be on David Letterman, work with the Muppets, and host 'SNL.' I had done Letterman before and I, obviously, did the Muppet movie last year. But, I did all three last week. In one week! That's not hyperbole, that's an actual list I had."
And Segel brought his A-game to Saturday night's show. AOL TV's 'SNL' expert, Mike Ryan, gave the episode his highest score of the season. Segel brought the Muppets -- and Paul Rudd along with him, because what's a 'SNL' "Kissing" sketch with Paul Rudd?
As it turns out, Segel and Rudd got a little too into the "Kissing" sketch.
"We were told to tone it down," Segel revealed. "I 'Fatal Attraction-ed' him in dress rehearsal. I threw him up against the wall to the point that I almost destroyed the set. I yanked his hair back so violently, and I basically, like, I can't say the word, I mean, I hate-kissed him. [laughs] So hard!"
Just like that, 'SNL' magic was created.

Chipotle Pork
Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Leigh Ann Ross
Scents of chipotle, lime, garlic, and spices waft through the house as Chipotle Pork slow cooks in the oven. The results are tender, juicy, fall-of-the-bone meat that retains a smoky heat thanks to the chipotle chiles. Versatlie Chipotle Pork is perfect by itself with rice, for sandwiches, tacos, or as a topping for baked potatoes.

This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 square kilometres (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations contain "Amazonas" in their names. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.

Unless Jordan is leaving parts out, this is a dreadful story on his part. He got a job at Apple, started working under what he describes as an insulting, territorial boss, and left a month into it.
He doesn't describe any instances of bringing up the problem to his boss, talking to fellow coworkers to see what the deal is, or, if need be, going to a superior. He just ran into a problem for a couple weeks, did nothing about it, then walked away.
This isn't so much a story about a bad boss at Apple—hey, every company has 'em—but a terrible example of how to deal with workplace conflict.
Maybe he wasn't an A player after all.

The entire Porsche establishment in Stuttgart are mourning the death of legendary racer and Porsche brand ambassador, Paul Ernst Strähle. He was one of the most successful and best-known racing drivers during the 1950s and 60s. Strähle died of natural causes last Wednesday at the age of 83 in Schorndorf, his place of birth.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, Executive Vice President for Research and Development at Porsche, paid tribute to the deceased racing driver: "Paul Ernst Strähle was one of the most important and most versatile motorsport pioneers in post-war Germany. Through his success in numerous international races, he became a leading ambassador for German autosport. Porsche has lost a long-standing friend and companion who actively supported the company and particularly our motor sports department from its beginnings up to the present day."
Paul Ernst Strähle was the son of the Swabian aviation moghul Paul Strähle. After the end of the Second World War, he successfully completed a mechanical apprenticeship in his parents' car and motorcycle business which he then built up into a successful Volkswagen and Porsche dealership a few years after.
Hit the jump for Paul's accolades and full story.
From 1951 onwards, Paul Ernst Strähle passionately devoted himself to motorsport, achieving his first successes, including a class victory in the "Mille Miglia", in his VW Beetle that was dubbed "Dapferle", which was fitted with a Porsche engine. He became one of the most successful sports car racing drivers in Europe in the Porsche 356 from the second half of the 1950s onwards. His long list of victories included countless class wins in major races such as the "Mille Miglia" in Italy, the 1000 Kilometre Race on the Nürburgring, and the "Targa Florio" in Sicily. Among his most important rally successes were overall victories in the Adria Rally (1953, 1956), the Tour of Belgium (1957), the Liège-Rome-Liège Rally (1959), and the Tour of Corsica (1960).
The former German Motor Racing Champions (1955) accolades include, runner up in the European Rally (1956), and German Rally Champion (1958). He ended his active motorsport career in 1963 in order to concentrate more on his flourishing car dealership. In 1966, however, he returned to his racing roots and set up the "Strähle Autosport" racin team, which achieved numerous successes with Porsche models in various race series over a period of almost three decades. From 1977 onwards, Paul Ernst Strähle also dedicated himself to historical motorsport. In his famous Porsche 356 A Carrera with the registration number "WN-V2", he became a premier attraction of many classic car events in which he naturally emerged as the winner on numerous occasions.
Paul Ernst Strähle had a close relationship with Porsche right up until his passing. He was a regular honored-guest at events in the new Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, including last year, when he presented his Porsche 356 "V2" racing car as a loan item. In addition, he was adored for arranging massive swap meets for Porsche enthusiasts to trade sought after parts and spares. He shall surely be missed by all who knew and revered him.

Corvette C1-C7 in Review…The Most Successful Car in Detroit History?
Illustrated Corvette Series No. 200 1953 – 2014 Corvette
"DETROIT'S ULTIMATE SUCCESS STORY?" by K Scott Teeters as originally published in Vette magazine
In the February 2014 issue of VETTE Magazine, I celebrated my 200th installment of The Illustrated Corvette Series with a look back at the entire history of the Corvette. The title of the column is, "DETROIT'S ULTIMATE SUCCESS STORY?" The Corvette has come a very long way from being a car that many inside GM wanted to kill off to becoming General Motors' flagship halo car.
While the article in VETTE only shows one Corvette from all seven generations of Corvettes, I wanted to do something extra special. So, I created the 1' x 3', "Seven Generations of Corvettes 1953-2014 Corvettes" art print, available through our Fine Art America store, HERE.
The print is available in a variety of sizes and can be custom framed right from the site.
Here is the story……..
2013 may be remembered as the most extraordinary year in Corvette history. Not only was 2013 the last year of the sixth generation Corvette, it was also the 60th anniversary of the first Corvette. The only way it could have been better was if the C7 have been released as a '13 model. Arguably, the C7 was the most anticipated Corvette ever seen. Continue reading

Marty came of age in the '50s, right at the beginning of the birth of America's postwar love affair with performance cars. After joining a hot rod club in his home town of Brooklyn, New York, Marty learned that his real talent wasn't driving race cars or spinning wrenches, though he definitely is skilled in those areas.
Marty's gift is in the arena of visual arts and word-smithing. By the late '50s Marty got the bug for writing stories and photographing hot cars for magazines. What started out as a passion for cars became a lifelong career. Continue reading

Vette Videos: Hail to the 1967 L71 427/435 Big-Block Corvette!!!
Dateline: 9.3.12
A video romp salute to one of the sweetest-sounding bad-boy Corvettes ever!
When you play the video, turn the sound WAY UP!
Okay, lets get this part out of the way first. True, true – a modern C6 Z06 or ZR1 Corvette can easily walk away from anything from the big-block days – HANDS DOWN! But as our pal Mike Beal once told us, the difference between modern Corvettes and the big-block Corvettes from the olden days is that the newer cars deliver "controlled horsepower." The old big-block Corvettes delivered "EXPLOSIVE horsepower." Not only that, but there was a guttural rumble that let even the uninitiated know that this was one bad-ass machine.
I intuitively understood this the very first time I ever encountered a 427/435 big-block. It was the summer of 1968, I was just 14 years old and a serious model car builder. In the town next to where I lived in Collingswood, New Jersey, there was (and still is) a small hobby shop called, Sattlers Trains & Hobbies. While their main business was HO gauge electric trains, they had a big selection of model car kits. Continue reading
August Auction Action – Watch RM Monterey and Mecum Monterey, Live!
Dateline: 8.15.12
A BIG weekend for Corvettes on the block!
It's turning out to be a very interesting weekend for Corvettes at the high-end car auctions, with two big-time events going off at about the same time and area. I checked the RM Auctions website and saw that they have updated their home page and added a "VIEW AUCTION LIVE" link at the top of their homepage. So, they made it easy for us. Auction action starts at 6:60 PM Pacific time (9:30 Eastern Time). If you click the page link before the scheduled start time, all you'll see is a black box where the streaming video will be. This won't change until the event starts. After the feed begins, look for the button to Fill Screen, kick back, and enjoy!
If you're mainly interested in the Owens-Corning 1968 L88 racer, the lot number is 141. The numbering begins with #101, a 1953 Hudson Hornet. So with 40 cars before the Owens-Corning car, it'll be a few hours before the old war horse Corvette comes thundering upon the stage.
But if you love old cars and racing machines, the auction is a treat. Not only do you get to see the numbers ring up, but before the bidding begins, they describe the car, show photos and videos, as well as letting you get a good look at the car on the turntable. Most of the cars at the RM event are really special and have been lovingly restored and cared for. The marque almost doesn't matter, they're just wonderful machines. Continue reading
Book Review: Corvette Sixty Years – by Randy Leffingwell
Dateline: 7.5.12
A Most Excellent Addition To Your Corvette Library
I've been collecting car magazines and car books since the mid-'60s. My library has gotten larger than I ever imagined. There's one book that I accidentally bought three times. I have four different versions of essentially the same book authored by Randy Leffingwell and published by Motorbooks. All four versions are very nice books, loaded with excellent images and well written prose by Leffingwell. But each time I bought the book online, I thought I was getting a different book because the covers and sizes are all different.
So, when I saw that Motorbooks was publishing "Corvette Sixty Years," I was holding out in hopes of a totally new book and not a shuffled around version of the previous "Corvette Fifty Years" with some updated C5 and C6 material. I was NOT disappointed! Leffingwell and MBI have delivered the goods! The book is, for me, a visual delight. You see, when you have as many books and magazines as I have, you've probably seem nearly all of the old vintage photos showing the design and development work on the Corvette. At least, that's what I thought!
1963 Corvette – The First Production Sting Ray
Dateline: 5.16.12
The Illustrated Corvette Series "First" continuities with a look back at the FIRST production Sting Ray.
A few years ago, someone created a series of Chevrolet billboards using classic, iconic images of some of the most popular Chevrolet cars. Naturally, there were several layouts featuring Corvettes. While this is a totally biased opinion, I think the above "The Original American Idol" is the best. Four words sum it up perfectly and the back end of the one and only, split-window coupe says a thousand words.
Our friend and VETTE Magazine founding editor, Marty Schorr, recently posted a review of the new 911 Porsche Carrera S at his CarGuyChronicles.com blog site. Writer, Howard Walker expounds on the fact that while the latest version of the classic 911 shares no hardware what-so-ever with the original and first '63 911, the spirit of the original 911 is still in tact. It's an amazing combination of the rear-engine layout and the fact that the car still "looks" like a 911, only bigger and much better. I have often wondered what today's Corvette would look like had Bill Mitchell never designed the game changing Mako Shark II. As I have written here in stories about Mitchell's Mako Corvettes, the Mako Shark II was so astonishing, it simply HAD TO BE the next Corvette. End of conversation! And, we've moved on from there.
So, buckle up and lets take a blast back to 1963 for a look-see at the first production Sting Ray! – Scott
I call the Corvette the "The American Automotive Horatio Alger Story." It's the ultimate automotive rags-to-riches story. You could also call it an automotive Cinderella story. While the C6 has taken more flack than it deserves, it's good to look back to the very beginning to get a really clear picture of how far the Corvette has come in 60 years. Today, new designs are market researched, but in the '50s, it was a seat-of-the-pants approach, driven by men with strong personalities. "Father" of the Corvette, Harley Earl, was the director of GM's "Art and Color Section." from 1927 to 1958. His successor, William L. Mitchell picked up the mantle and drove the Corvette where Earl never imagined.
The Sting Ray design began in '57 as the Q-Corvette concept and morphed into Mitchell's weekend warrior Stingray Racer. Mitchell wanted to go racing, and do some informal market research. By '59, the Corvette was due for a change and Mitchell had the design already worked out. Late in '59, Mitchell assigned stylist Larry Shinoda to make a full-size, clay coupe version the Stingray Racer. By April '60 Continue reading

Corvette Legends: The Great, Dave MacDonald, Part 2
Dateline: 4.14.12
Dave MacDonald: Corvette Racer… Corvette Man… Family Man
You can catch Part 1 of this story HERE.
Being hired by Shelby made the MacDonald's life almost as fast as the cars he drove. In the 17 months between the beginning of '63 through to the '64 Indy race, MacDonald raced in 44 events. The '64 Indy crash was the first time the 500 had ever been stopped because of an accident. The media at the time, would regularly make big headlines over any auto racing mishap, and were all over the crash. While Indy officials quickly concluded that there was no driver error, the race was hotly debated for decades.
"After Indy, I was hurting so, I needed to change my life, so I moved a few miles away, but stayed close to my in-laws. From Indy on, I didn't follow racing. My interest in racing was basically ONE RACE DRIVER." It wouldn't be until the early '90s when Corvette fans started recovering and restoring old Corvette race cars that MacDonald's all too short racing career began to get attention. "It is so gratifying and nice to meet people that raced with Dave and hear how much they admired him, not only for his skill as a driver, but for being a really nice guy." Today Sherry MacDonald is retired and as busy as ever with volunteer projects and her large family. Continue reading
Vette Videos: Larry Shinoda and Peter M. De Lorenzo Talk About Corvette Design Legend, Bill Mitchell
Dateline: 4.1.12
Shinoda shares his Mitchell "fish story" and De Lorenzo shares his ""neighborhood kid on a bike" Mitchell story!
Here's one for the Kawinkydink Department. I thought we were all done with our look back and the life and career of Larry Shinoda – wrong! This morning while surfing around the net, I found a video about Bill Mitchell. Before I knew it, there's Larry Shinoda telling stories about his former boss, Bill Mitchell!
Most of us in the Corvette community are very familiar with the unique "shark" paint style used on the Mako Shark-I, Mako Shark-II, and the Manta Ray concept/show cars. Larry shared a wonderful story about how the guys in the painting department perfected that distinctive paint scheme.
Also interviewed in the video is the late David E. Davis, former Campbell-Ewald Advertising man, former editor of Car and Driver, and founder and former editor of Automobile Magazine. Here's the video…
The second video is hosted by Peter M. De Lorenzo, editor and chief of AutoExtremist.com and son of former GM VP of Public Relations Anthony De Lorenzo. Continue reading
A Look Back At Race Cars & Corvairs Designed by Larry Shinoda
Dateline: 3.30.12
A brief overview of six racing cars and three experimental Corvairs Larry Shinoda designed.
Check out our awesome slide show tribute to Larry Shinoda's designs at the bottom of this post.
Larry Shinoda's designs were so strong that when his name comes up, it's almost always first associated with Corvettes. But Larry's talent for designing fast-looking cars wasn't limited to Corvettes. I suppose that when you are the go-to-stylist for a legend the likes of Bill Mitchell, you get a few peach projects. In retrospect, what helped make Shinoda's design work so edgy was his passion for racing. In a sense, Larry's NHRA Nationals win in '55 put him in the same category as 1954 Le Mans racer Zora Arkus-Duntov. As Bill Mitchell used to say, both men had, "gasoline in their veins."
Shinoda's race car design credits include: Pat Flaherty's 1956 Indy 500-winning John Zink Special, Bill Mitchell's 1959 Stingray Racer, Zora Arkus-Duntov's CERV I and CERV II, the GS-II (Grand Sport II), Jim Hall's Chaparral-2, and Peter Weismann's 1963 rear-engine Indy car.
Although the Corvair never really caught on as a performance car or a sports car, designers such as Shinoda had some jaw-dropping ideas for Chevy's rear-engine car. The 1962 Monza GT Coupe was in direct competition with Ford's mid-engine 4-banger Mustang I concept car. What an interesting Chevy vs Ford battle that would have been! When you work in an R&D department often many "variations on a theme" are explored.
The Monza SS was an open cockpit-type design with a racer-like cut-down windshield. Another version was explored with a more traditional type of windshield. And in the same way that other GM divisions glommed on to Harley Earl's Corvette concept in '53 and came up with their own "Corvette" concept cars for the '54 GM Motorama (the '54 Pontiac Bonneville, Buick Wildcat, and Olds F88). We have an example of a Monza variation that looks a lot like a roadster version of the 1964 XP-833 Pontiac Banshee. It was very common back then for designs to get tossed about within GMs divisions.
One Shinoda design that was not shared by any of GM's other divisions was the 1967 Astro I. Corvair production peeked in '65 for approximately 235,000 Corvairs built. By '67 the number went to just over 27,000! The Corvair-based Astro I concept/show car arrived in 1967 and was probably started around '65 – '66, before the car started to tank. Unlike the Monza GT that eventually became the '67 Opel GT, the Astro I was so over the top, none of its design elements were used in any serious fashion. Instead, Chevrolet used the "Astro" name on one of their full-size vans and there was nothing "Astro" about it. Continue reading

The Horseman mount.. *sigh* I've seen other people in my groups get it, but alas nothing in my bag but points and sometimes a mask. Although, for a brief instant, I thought I had gotten something awesome in the Witch's Broom, until I saw it is only good for 14 days. I thought there were 2 mounts (like permanent ones) when I saw it, but then I read the description again. But, its ok.. I'll ride it around northrend for 14 days. lol and cross my fingers every time I down the horseman. Getting the horse will totally over-take my current top moment.

Anonymous said: could you tell me some sweet things to say to my boyfriend to show him that i care for him
I can't tell you what to say, I'm not you and I don't know how you feel about your boyfriend. What you say needs to come from you, and from your own feelings. You can't just type out what someone else tells you to say. That's not real.
Tell him about how you felt when he kissed you for the first time. Tell him about how you felt before he asked you out/when he asked you out. Tell him about the first time you met. Tell him how much you appreciate him and tell him your favourite things about him.
Make it come from you, make it special.

DoD: TRICARE letter offering free credit reports not a scam
Friday - 12/9/2011, 7:44am EST
TRICARE is quashing reports that someone is trying to scam members following a big data breach, Next Gov reports.
The military's health care program says a letter from SAIC about the breach is legit. The letter offers free credit reports and monitoring. But, NextGov reports some people thought it wasn't real, after some websites, including an Air Force Facebook page, called it a scam.
The data breach happened when someone stole computer tapes with details on 4.9 million people.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
It doesn't matter who it came against, the Trail Blazers wanted a win. It was a very quiet flight to Sacramento following the loss to Atlanta on Monday night. As the coaches always say, it was a teaching opportunity (a very positive way to put it) and the hope was the players learned that this team is not going to be able to win unless most of the pistons are firing. And, digging yourself a nine-point hole early in a game is not going to cut it.
Evidently, lesson learned.
Against the Kings in Sacramento on Tuesday night, the Blazers jumped out to a 25-10 lead. The Kings would battle back, and even claimed a four-point lead early in the third quarter. The Blazers led 57-56 with 5:15 left in the third, and then things completely turned in Portland's favor. They closed the third on a 17-2 run, and stretched that run to 28-4 early in the fourth and it was game over. The Blazers picked up their second road winof the season by a final score of 103-86.
Sacramento has struggled on offense this season, but they've been a decent defensive team at times. In fact, coming into this game they ranked third in the NBA at defending the three-point line. Ironically, that's where Portland did most of its damage.
The Blazers shot 52 percent from behind the arc, going 14 for 27, led by Damian Lillard, who was a big reason why Portland got off to such a hot start. He scored eight points in the first 12 minutes, and ended the game with 22, leading all scorers in the contest, and going 5 for 6 from three-point land.
In my post-game interview with Lillard (who was playing in front of his mother, who made the drive from Oakland), he basically took responsibility for the last few losses and said that is what motivated him in this game. Not only did he score 22, but he also dished out 9 assists.
LaMarcus Aldridge has taken some heat as of late, but against the Kings he was very solid. Twenty minutes before the opening tip we weren't sure if he was even going to play. He came down hard on his right wrist against Atlanta, and it was bothering him enough before the game that he went for x-rays. They were negative, and he decided to play through the obvious pain. Aldridge ended with 19 points, and was much better about fighting for low-post position and working for higher-percentage shots. He got to the free-throw line 10 times, and made 9. That has been missing.
We knew J.J. Hickson would be motivated to play in this game against the team that waived him last March. Hickson picked up another double-double, scoring 10 and grabbing 13 rebounds. Hickson becomes just the seventh player in the NBA to post five double-doubles so far.
Wesley Matthews did his usual job of disrupting the opposition's backcourt, and held Tyreke Evans to just 10 points. Matthews also scored 18 points, and his 6 of his 9 shot attempts. Nicolas Batum was especially big during that big run, and scored 15 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. It's nice to see Batum continuing to fill up all the stat catagories.
And, the Blazer bench was much better in this one, combining for 19 points. That's not normally a huge number, but considering how it's been lately, that's a huge improvement. Ronnie Price led the way for the reserves, scoring 8 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.
It's not very often we've been able to say Portland has more road wins than home wins, but that's the case right now. Most importantly, the confidence got a boost with this victory.
Now, they've got two days off before hosting Houston on Friday night at the Rose Garden.
A very nice "get well" win. Bench helped on both offence and defense which was nice. Keep it up Blazers!!!!
Hey Mike: Well as you know Tuesday night is my bowling night, but I did listen to Wheels and Tone. A very good win. I will comment more after seeing the replay of the game.
Nice win and great blog post as usual. I still find it hard to grasp how Sac could let a guy like J.J. go without getting anything in return...the Kings aren't exactly what you'd describe as a "stacked" team. Not knowing the history I assume something went bad between J.J. and the Kings management but what a pickup by the Blazers! And he's only 24, or 6 years younger than Gerald Wallace!
Great to get a win and on the road!
LaMarcus was a warrior tonight! Two days off are just what he needs to let his wrist heal. JJ Timex just keeps on ticking. I loved the balanced scoring in this game -- everyone contributed something to a well deserved win.--don
i'd say this was a pretty satisfying win. certainly, we should have beaten a battered Kings team by 17 or so, but we did and that says something. it was a balanced win at that. the thing i think which set this game apart was the combination of getting to the basket and outside shooting. we all know one sets up the other, and it was nice to see those two areas of the offense working so well together.i just have to wonder if Sac and maybe S are going to be for Damian as Texas is to LaMarcus. regardless, i'm happy his mom got to see him for the first time as a pro just seven games into his career. he put on a great show for her.props to LaMarcus for toughing it out with his wrist last night. saw a tweet from Chris Haynes last night where he quote LaMarcus saying his free throw shooting was like doing the shot put. at 9-10, i'll take that any time. J.J. ... i may just have to write my own blog about him soon. he's been just plain inspirational as of late!the bench played better, which is what all of us have been waiting to see. they didn't shoot the lights out or anything, but it was a marked improvement. Ronnie seems to be getting more and more comfortable. Joel hasn't been shooting well, but i'm confident that will come in time. from all credible accounts, he's doing a lot of the same type of dirty work as ... well, as another Joel of our recent acquaintance.anyway, as we not, you never blink at a win. you continue to do the things which will allow you to win some more.~ KMMPS: Hg, why is is we always seem to do well on your bowling night?!
I need to stop watching games. When I miss the game, we win. I completely forgot there was a game on tonight, so I cannot comment on anything but to say it was a good win, and we need more of them. It's nice to see that playing on the road doesn't seem to quiet Lillard at all. Not sure about Meyers. Anyway we can possibly get more information on his game? How has he been looking? Due to my schedule of working graveyard, in which I need to get things done on my morning which is around 5pm-9pm, I haven't had much of a chance to watch a game this season.
Loved the win!!!I wish we could work on points in the paint, beginning with LA and his fade away. Still looking for him to drive to the hoop. Three pointers are good but variety is good! Loved the bench playing time and substitutions. Beginning to build a team.
Kassandra: Maybe we should enlist Hg in several leagues. Naw, at our age he'd wind up on the injured list.I hate to get down on any player, but I'm beginning to cringe when Nolan takes the floor. With the personel in this game for the Kings Myers appeared lost.
Can we just show people's tweets after the game, during Trailblazers Over Time, rather than during the game? That is what the Mariners do. I understand that the Blazers want to do what they think will make them edgy and current, but it eats up precious television real estate while I am watching the game.
Hey, Maybe I should be like Herr, if I don't watch, we win; so maybe I should just quit watching, Naw I would rather take my chances of winning while I am watching Ancientone: Myers does get lost a lot, but he is coming along. You cringe with Nolan, I cringe with Babbitt.Kassandra; I think our starting unit is as good as any in the NBA, but our bench needs to get better, so we may sacrifice a few wins now for a lot more later; We did great on a back to back; We got to give a little time for the bench and we don't play again until Friday. Practice time will help; I don't feel our d is as bad as everybody says, we go for a lot of steals and if we miss a steal that leaves somebody open for a shot, OTOH, if we get a steal and score, we are up in points, but give away a high %.
J.J. Hickson has been so underrated this season. He's at 11.9 rebound-per-game, which currently is 4th in the NBA.
One of the problems with the NBA super structure viewed from a European point of view is we; poor lonesome fans and a farway home, get only 3 big known players left the year after; team is not the same team in our old fashioned way to look at facts and history, friendship and sports. Not a Portland problem though; a continental american matter i suppose. You always change everything so that, at times, nothing changes. Not that the opposite - to change just a few main things such that a lot is done- should be a better making. But where is a room for poetry, continuity of spring, redudancy for fall ? Where are all these flowers gone ?PS: Do not pay too much attention to me. But yet a team is made of more than a bunch of dollars we change every year. I do, nevertheless, wish you a real good luck, a good sports achievement. Sorry for my lame english, i wish i could be a better and yet friendly speaker.
The moment in the second half when Stott's called a time out. Steam dispensing from his ears. Next up, Blazer explosion. It's a good sign.What's wrong with Will ? Did I see him in street clothes ?My take on the flagrant foul by Luke. "Was that a flop".I'm out.
sapadeajo: You're doing fine.Hg: I meant that Leonard looked lost because the 4 gaurd offense that the Kings through out there didn't leave him any traditional player as a big man to gaurd. Another growing experience.
@ancientone: wasn't Hg on the injured list for white a while a couple years ago?! can't have that again! i haven't been happy with Nolan's game this year either. Luke can play; he's just not getting minutes to truly show what he can do.@Hg: i advocate making changes now, when we know we're rebuilding, rather than when we've reached the next level. sometimes timing can be everything. no one move is going to suddenly take us to the next level. however, each move will - hopefully-add another piece to the puzzle.@Shem: that's a stat i never would have predicted, but it's very awesome. J.J. has been amazing so far this season. just think, the guys he's outrebounding are taller than he is!.@Divotking: it's my understanding Stotts wanted to activate Victor, so Will was deactivated. i haven't heard any injury news on him.RE Meyers: his strongest game wasn't against the Kings, but he's making progress at a higher rate than i may have expected. i'm not too worried about him.~ KMM
Kassandra:I can't dispute your case for making changes now against later changes. I do however feel that Wesley with our new players learning is important showing the newbie's his work ethics and never quit attitude. I believe he would be a sensational back up for the two or the three because of his defense and energy, just not necessarily a starting 2; which brings me to the subject of Elliot Williams, I would stipulate, if he could ever get healthy enough, that he would be the starting 2GD and Wesley, with a lot of growling would be a back up 2 and 3, but that is before we know what we have in our rookie arsenal. Maybe Barton can replace Wesley as a back up???? Maybe Nolan, as this IMO, is his rookie year will make an efficient back up PG, and backup 2GD. Therefore, IMO again, we really don't know who to keep, who to trade and who to just throw away yet, so I am advocating to wait until more stats are in. but not debating with you on the issues. Maybe by trade deadline we will have a bigger and better picture of all the players. Although my heart bleeds for Babbitt, my mind tells me with this modern NBA, I have to be an advocate with the ones that says he will have to go, because he only brings one main course to the table.
@ Kass, I agree w/ u most of the time w/ the things u say but Luke CANNOT play (he CAN shoot given pretty ideal conditions; no1 disputes this); I wish he could & giving him more minutes hurts our team in a variety of ways. Mark my words, either mid-season (most likely) or DEFINITELY @ the latest right b4 next season, Luke will not b a Blazer; IF he's still in the NBA next season... I would b shocked.
I was really happy about the way we finished the game last night. Ronnie played his 2nd healthy game with marked improvement. Sasha hit a couple of 3s. JJ Hickson is slowly becoming my farvorite player as well. What a motor he has! I need to apologize from the Hawks game about LaMarcus choking at the end, I had no idea he was shooting with a sprained wrist that night. I think Will Barton may benefit from some Stampede time until he learns the sets we're going to run. Talented as he is he's not a quick study and talent alone won't get him playing time until the sets are second nature to him. I say wait until mid season to make any roster moves and have a better idea of who gets it and who doesn't. To early to tell. We need a scoring 6 man and it's painfully obvious Nolan is not that guy...too bad about Elliot. I had high hopes for him in that role. 3-5 is not bad considering the competition we've faced and the trial by fire that comes with a new coach and roster. Win 2 more in a row and we'll be back at 500 which is where I think we'll stay all season.
Luke's problem is he just can't defend NBA level 4s. He also needs a lot of space to hit his long 3s. I'd like to trade him to Israel for the Rhino! I hear the Rhino is lighting up the Euro league playing in Israel. I think Luke would be a star in Europe but not in the NBA. Hope he proves me wrong but I really don't count on it.
There's a lot that I could have said/added above to what I said/haven't said but I needed to get in/out quick (gonna do it again ;)@ riverman, AGREED; actually that's more precisely what I meant w/ Luke. Luke WOULD c the floor A LOT more (Stotts WOULD put up w/ his fg% remaining EXACTLY the same IF= ) IF he played D but he can't & never will get it in the NBA.
@Hg: i don't think i'm the 1st to say this, but maybe close; i don't think Elliot will ever get on track. that's painful to type, but it just seems to be that he cannot stay healthy. i give him a pass on his rookie season since i feel his surgery was more preventative than anything. it's also difficult to rely on a guy with injury issues who is so athletic. that usually leads to more injuries. i would love to see Elliot come back and school the more established guards in the league. however, at this point, i'm skeptical of that happening (i also think the team's decision to extend his contract shows this).~ KMMPS: i will refute all the Luke Babbitt bashing in a few moments.
@Kassandra:I believe you are right about EWill, but I still hope. I am not really bashing Babbitt, I just think he will be on the block. For me he can stay.
okies, maybe more than a moment. Luke is one of those guys who needs to be in the flow of the game in order to really get going. his defense is vastly improved as is his rebounding. i was going to post some numbers here, but i'd challenge anyone to go look at them for themselves. prior to the Kings game, Luke had an efficiency rating of plus-3.00. it turns out, the Blazers do a little bit better when he is on the court. It's really hard to challenge that, isn't it? Luke may be on the block, but i think with the exception of Meyers, the entire bench may be considered as tradeable. my point is simple: don't judge Luke on just one part of his game; rather, look at the big picture.~ KMM
I will take your statement to heed. I don't know who is going, who is staying, but we do need bench players. In actuallity it is way to early to decide and we are doing great in my eyes. so I am willing to table the discussion whether then go up against the caged LeBrona the Prianha

Why Geography is Important
I learned a very valuable family history research principle years ago, and I've seen its application more and more as I gain experience in genealogical research. It is a powerful tool for breaking through some brick walls.
Look in
neighboring jurisdictions.
neighboring jurisdictions.
Like ourselves, our ancestors did not neatly compartmentalize themselves into cities and counties. They might live here, own a farm in the next county, and have cousins down the road across the state line. Despite any geographical proximity, if you cross a city, county, state, or any other boundary, that's a different jurisdiction – and often an entirely different database.
It is very quick and easy to look on the internet to see what your ancestor's surrounding counties are. Just Google something like "Tennessee county map," and look at a map it returns to see what the surrounding counties are. If the county lies on a state line, you should see what counties it borders in the neighboring state as well. For counties in the United States, an easy way to do this is to look up the county in Wikipedia. At the bottom of the article page, you can usually find a box with links to all the adjacent counties – even those across state lines. This will even show you jurisdictions across the Mexican and Canadian borders. Very handy!
So, before you decide your Detroit ancestor dropped off the face of the earth for the 1910 Census, remember that you might consider looking in Ontario in the 1911 Canadian Census instead.

And then the next morning, I got the email explaining that was NOT how this league worked. They took 4 year old soccer seriously. They followed some official soccer rules and you can not request teams. And just by requesting this, if by some reason they happened to end up on the same team, I could put the league in jeopardy. Oops.
And I was so sad. Three hours a week. Sitting by myself. Drama queen much? So I did what any good mom would do. I turned it over to the Lord. I prayed all summer that Neely would hate soccer. And if she hated it, my plan was to let her quit. Problem solved.
And then the first email came out. And Neely was on a team with one of her friends. And she was thrilled. And so am I.
Isn't she the cutest soccer player you've ever seen?

Love took chambers on our street
Opposite to mine;
On his door he tacked a neat,
Clearly lettered sign.
Straightway grew his custom great,
For his sign read so:
"Hearts united while you wait.
Step in. Love and Co."
Much I wondered who was "Co."
In Love's partnership;
Thought across the street I'd go—
Learn from Love's own lip.
So I went; and since that day
Life is hard for me.
I was buncoed! (By the way,

Straight-line winds are being blamed for flipping dozens of RV campers at the Santa Maria RV Park Monday night in Gautier. Jackson County EOC Director Earl Etheridge told WLOX News up to 25 campers and several vehicles were toppled.
Witnesses at the campground on Martin Bluff Road told us one man was trapped and had to be rescued by the fire department.
Nearby in Moss Point, Police Chief Keith Davis said crews were dealing with downed power lines and several trees that were toppled over on Frank Griffin Road off Highway 613. The fire department was using chainsaws to take down the trees that knocked down power lines. One power line caught fire, but it was quickly extinguished.
