Are there any M versions of i cars in the pipeline? No, according to Cypselus von Frakenberg, BMW Group head of technology communications. Speaking at the Frankfurt IAA show, Mr. Frankenberg says that not only was there zero input from M engineers in the development of the i8, but there will be no M version in the future. In his words:
"It is separate – M and i," he begins. "It's two different sub-brands, but there will be no 'M' i-car in the future.
"These [M] are … CONTINUED

We first heard about GBPP while taking a tour of a local public school in the area. The principal highly recommended GBPP and said the children who came through her doors were very well prepared after attending preschool here. After taking a tour of the facility and sitting in on multiple classrooms, our son attended this school for the first time this year. We could not be happier! We plan to send our daughter as well. The teachers stay in their positions for 20+ years because they enjoy their job. The environment is very loving and nurturing and exactly the kind of place I'd want my child to be if he's not going to be at home with me. I highly recommend this preschool!
This school has been outstanding. My son started here in the 3 year old program and has absolutely excelled! The teachers and staff are very patient, kind, and educational. I definitely recommend GBBP to anyone I know looking for a trustworthy preschool.
My daughter attends GBPP pre-K and I could not be happier with her class. This school is amazing! I have so much to brag about...the staff is wonderful, kind, caring, nurturing and fun! The halls are bight and cheerful. The classrooms are spacious and divided into sections for reading, dramatic play, building, puzzles, and hands on activities. Each classroom is warm and inviting. I LOVE the open door policy and the chances to volunteer and be a part of my daughters school day. With the excitement I found upon entering the doors on her first day, my heart skipped a beat and my longing to get back to teaching was strong. I signed up to be a substitute teacher and have enjoyed covering most classes in one capacity or another. I love this preschool! I highly recommend GBPP to anyone looking for small teacher/student ratios, fun in learning while including Spanish, music and computers as a part of the weekly curriculum. Amazing things are happening at GBPP! Stop by and take a look, you will hear the echoes of laughter from the children and feel the love of the teachers as you come through the doors. Come stop by and bring a friend!
I cannot say about this preschool. We heard about GBPP from our pediatrician who sent all 4 of his kids here. This is our 4th year at GBPP and our second child. The teachers are so caring, the classrooms are large and bright and the class size is wonderful. My children have both started school with a love for learning and I am so thankful for the dedicated staff at GBPP. Most of the teachers have been there for years which says a lot about the preschool. The director is hands on and friendly and the tuition is very affordable (especially for the 1/2 day kindergarten). Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed!
When we gave our notice to move from VB to Chesapeake I referred to GBPP by our previous preschool staff in Virginia Beach. I met the director and staff a month prior to our son entering the 2nd half of the 3 ' s class. Our son continued to attend through PreK and we were ecstatic they offered a 2 ' s class the following year so our daughter could attend as well. We love knowing that our kids are safe, well cared for, and loved in a fun and clean learning environment. We also love that GBPP offers a variety of toddler age groups and affordable monthly tuition.
We live in Virginia Beach but make the drive to this school! It is my 3 year olds first time attending school and he LOVES it! I can not say enough great things about GBPP!! The teachers are amazing! They have an open door policy so it lets you stay active in your children's lives! And my son has learned so much! I feel completely comfortable leaving my child in the care of these wonderful teachers! I'm so sad that we are moving and won't be here next year. If I could I would let my child stay until Kindergarten, that is how much I love this school! They truly are amazing.
This is my kids first year at this preschool. I looked at many before I came to this one. The second I walked in I knew this was the place for my kids. I have a 4 year old and a 3 year old who both attend this preschool and both teachers are amazing. These ladies genuinely care about your children and want what is best for them. I could not ask for a better experience. No doubt the best preschool and kindergarten around. Thank you GBPP!!!'
Being in the military we've moved around a bit and have experienced 3 different preschools. Great Bridge Presbyterian was my favorite by far. The teachers truly love the children and want to be there. I was impressed with the number of age-appropriate crafts they had- something my kids could do by themselves and were proud of rather than an aid basically doing it for them. My kids have always been great at following verbal directions and socializing in elementary and I really believe it's because of their experience at GBPP. The size of the rooms and toys is wonderful. Plenty of room to move around and play. There is also a computer class, music time, and intro to spanish class. The class size is also optimum. I loved the Kindergarten teacher; the kids were at all different reading levels when they came in so I was even more impressed when they all left at atleast a first grade reading level. Outside of being a wonderful Kindergarten experience it was awesome having my preschooler and kindergartner at the same school with the same class arrival and departure times. Can't wait to enroll my little one in a couple of years!
I have sent both of my children to GBPP. After my first child went, I knew there was no other place to I would send them. The teachers are outstanding and so loving to all the kids, One of the most important things they learn at the school, is how to interact with the peers and get over some of the issues of not sharing or nedding to wait their turn. The aides are fabulous and so is the Music Teacher and Spanish Teacher. A plus for many parents that have small children is when you drop of your child, you do not need to get everyone out of the car. The teachers are there to assist them out and the teachers load them for you in to your car at the end of the day. The tuition rates are very affordable for the many things that your child will do at the school. You can not go wrong sending your child to this school. When it is time for your child to move on to the next school, trust me as a parent, you will realize just what a special experience it was that your child was able to attend Great Bridge Presbyterian Preschool!!
Great Bridge Presbyterian Preschool will always be a special place for our family. All 3 of my kids attended and I am so happy they had a such a wonderful "first school" experience! They loved going to school and their teachers felt like family.

Celebrity Scene
Mindy's project: Nail grads to wall
TV actress Mindy Kaling gave a speech to graduating Harvard Law students the other day, and she nailed their prospects pretty well:
"... and now, with this diploma in hand, most of you will go on to the noblest pursuits, like helping a cable company acquire a telecom company. You will defend BP from birds. You will spend hours arguing that the well water was contaminated well before the fracking occurred. One of you will sort out the details of my pre-nup. A dozen of you will help me with my acrimonious divorce..."
Kaling, a Dartmouth grad, is 34.
Truth or fiction?
Us Weekly says Uma Thurman is dating Quentin Tarantino, who directed her in Pulp Fiction and the two Kill Bill movies.
The mag says the two shared a villa at the just-concluded Cannes schmooze-fest, which included a 20th-anniversary screening of Pulp Fiction.
Tarantino's never been married but has dated widely. Uma was married to Ethan Hawke from 1998 to 2003 and had two kids with him, and in 2012 had a baby with her on-again, off-again partner Arky Busson.
She's 44. Tarantino is 51.
Carrie kills it
CARRIE Fisher spoke in England the other day, at the Hay Festival of Literature and Arts and Pretentiousness. (OK, I added the last two words.)
Asked about the time Princess Leia killed Jabba the Hutt, in 1983's Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, she said this:
"They asked me on the day if I wanted to have a stunt double kill Jabba. No! That's the best time I ever had as an actor. And the only reason to go into acting is if you can kill a giant monster."
She's 57.
Brad's glad for change
WINE Spectator mag got Brad Pitt talking about Ch¢teau Miraval, the 13th-century-monastery-turned-winery in Provence that he and Angelina Jolie bought in 2012. They've already almost tripled production of their first wine, a rosé, to 16,000 cases.
Brad says he likes being there because it's a nice change from the pace of Hollywood: "I'm a farmer now. I love learning about the land and which field is most suitable for which grape, the drama of September and October... I enjoy cleaning the forest and walking the land. [It is] the antithesis of the drive, the want, the need to get ahead indicative of life in Hollywood."
Scout brings them out
ANNALS of attention-deprivation, Chapter 45,938: Scout Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, chose to stroll about Manhattan topless on Wednesday.
She billed this little adventure as a gesture of protest against Instagram's ban on topless photos of females on the site.
New Yorkers, being New Yorkers, mostly just shrugged.
Scout is 22.
Best puff ever
WE live in pathetic times: The Telegraph, in England, reports breathlessly that "members of One Direction, one of Britain's biggest boy bands, have been filmed joking about marijuana as they smoke a rolled-up cigarette".
Wow. Talk about your degenerate modern youth. A joint-like artifact! The horror!
Don't get me wrong. Drugs are bad, period. (OK, except ethanol, especially made from 100 per cent agave.) But after decades of rockers buying cocaine by the carload, after Willie Nelson and Bob Marley and the '70s and acid and mollie and Keith Richards and medical marijuana and all, why is a major newspaper getting excited about a boy band smoking a joint?
The "shocking" video was shot by Louis Tomlinson while the band was touring in Peru. The boys share a hand-rolled cigarette and joke about "Mary Jane." Pretty daring.
Extra cheesed off
MACAULAY Culkin fronts Pizza Underground, a band that performs rock classics re-written with pizza references. Lou Reed's It's a Perfect Day becomes It's a Pizza Day, etc.
But the fans weren't hungry at the band's weekend festival gig in Nottingham, England. The local Nottingham Post reports that the boys were deluged with beer and fled the stage after just three tunes.
"Why are you throwing those?" Culkin asked the audience when the beer started to fly. "I'd rather drink them," he said gamely.
But the abuse continued so he just said "That's the end of the show. Good night."
This is kind of puzzle, notes the N.Y. Daily News, since the band has been well received at other British music festivals.
Pharrell's equal-opportunity fumes
PHARRELL Williams, already having a pretty good year, will be even happier now that people can buy his new perfume, Girl.
Despite the name, this stuff -- he's selling it in collaboration with Comme des Garçons -- is designed to be used, according to this here press release, by women or men.
It's finger-painting good
STRANGE hobbies of the stars: Mike Myers hasn't made a movie since Inglourious Basterds in 2009. Now we know why, sort of: he's been busy painting pictures of Col. Harlan Sanders.
''I make about a painting a week," he told GQ mag. "My first painting was of my wife, Kelly. My second one was of my dog, George Harrison. And then I got into this Colonel Sanders thing.
"Growing up in Canada ... our whole family was obsessed with the Colonel. He has his own unique silhouette - you can draw him in three lines.
"On the day that Lucian Freud died, I painted my version of a Freud with the Colonel, naked, holding a palette, painting himself. Then I did the Colonel with the Pearl Earring. Then I did the ... Mona Lisa with the Colonel."
He's 51.
Biebs into the sauce
AT a swanky AIDS-research fund-raising gala at the Hotel du Cap in Antibes the other day, a sideshow to the Cannes festivities, Justin Bieber ordered spaghetti from the kiddies's menu.
He was hungry, see, and the food was slow in coming to his table where the big people -- models, directors, bankers, at the event, hosted by Harvey Weinstein -- were sitting.
So his security people requested pasta for him ASAP, and he sat alone to eat it.
Justin's 20. He only acts 8.
Time not on their side
SOFIA Vergara and rich guy Nick Loeb have cancelled their engagement. Again.
This time it seems they're not even a couple any longer. She broke the news, via Twitter, blaming schedule problems.
"Not that anyone should care," she said, "but in order to not give the press the chance to invent crazy and hurtful drama, I prefer to tell my fans personally that Nick and I have decided to be apart... We have been having too many problems with figuring out how to spend time together..."
They became a couple in 2010, broke up in 2012, got back together, got engaged. Now this. Stay tuned. Or on second thought, let's not bother.
She's 41. He's 38.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Lure Bracelet | formâ€Â¢functionâ€Â¢form
|Made of Horween leather in Chromexcel or Essex veg tan shades, authentic Eagle Claw hooks, custom made pewter fishing lures, select color cord pairings and top quality rivets and snaps, these 100% USA manufactured components will age and patina with grace, and hold up to whatever situations you wear them in.
Available in two standard sizes: 01 (wrists measuring 6″-7″ in circumference) and 02 (wrists between 7″-8″).
Note: while this is a real hook, it probably shouldn't be used to catch dinner; it's been rounded off a bit. The designers tried leaving it 'lazer sharp'—bad idea.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Published by Sega, Developed by Sumo Digital
Genres: Racing
US release date: Feb 12th, 2013 | EU release date: Feb 8th, 2013
Out of fuel.
Review written by
April 29th, 2013
Transformed is, of course, an arcade racer for Sonic and his gang of familiar and obscure Sega characters. There's even an appearance from Disney's Wreck it Ralph, and Danica Patrick of real world racing fame. The primary focus of this game is the changing of the terrain, or lack thereof, by having the vehicles switch to boat or plane and then back into a car. It's a great concept and it is one that was probably based off of Mario Kart 7 and possibly even Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64. But the 3DS game is a whole other monster.
In terms of differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions, there aren't any in terms of the courses, minus a few missing obstacles. There's also a handful of missing mission types. There are no ring races, traffic races or drift challenges. Rival races work differently too. Instead of being challenged by a handful of characters for portions of the track, you are pitted against a single rival for 3 laps. Personally, it's a better fit for rival race instead of facing 3 individual racers, as it doesn't break the flow of the racing action.
But that's about all the praises I can give. The game itself is fairly buggy and I've had races where I've lost the ability to utilize stunts. Effectively, losing the race. Other times, items don't hit or they fly out of control and off the stage. But perhaps the most devastating bug of them all is that it sometimes crashes. But, not only does it crash, forcing you to hold the power button to turn it off, if you have 3D on, one of the images will be black while the other will be the normal racing image, which is painful to the eyes. Another glitch is that sometimes, the bottom screen isn't even in sync with what's happening on top. I've actually had my character supposedly be off the track when in reality, he's snug right in the middle of the straight. But perhaps the largest bug I found was during the Sky Sanctuary stage, when I somehow managed to go all star, fly off the stage, and jump straight to first while being on the third lap, but at the same time, not be on the third lap. The third lap was supposed to be an all air lap. But, I managed to make the third lap be the second lap all over again.
While the courses are identical, graphics have been significantly downgraded. It is to be expected, but it's gone to the extent of having no shine to any of the cars or environments. Some of the epic environment destruction displayed in the Wii U version, such as in the Skies of Arcadia's Rogue's Landing, is simply not found. True, there's explosions and moving airships, but it doesn't look as fresh as it does in the console version. The game itself still looks like it belongs on a large screen and it shows. With the lack of any significant attempts at making all the worlds reach the limits of the 3DSs graphical capabilities, the screen looks busy and often times, you don't hit that item box or dodge a zombie that was conveniently the same color as the ground until it's too late. It looks like one giant mess, which isn't good for a screen so small.
As for sound, there are a few cuts to the audio. There is no audience cheering you as you perform amazing feats. There's no chant as you stay in first for an extended period of time. Even the dialogue in some of the stages is missing. This renders some of the stages' dynamic changes obsolete, such as the one in Flaming Depths.
But there's another thing with the sound. There is a very noticeable lack of distance. A rocket will explode with the same volume whether it's right on you, or if it missed everyone and explodes on the far side of the map.
While the Wii U's Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed shines in almost every way imaginable, the 3DS version is yet another example of Sega rushing to meet a deadline. It's almost as if they don't put as much effort into the portable one. As a result, it's lackluster. It's not the system at fault, it's the game. Sega had a golden opportunity to show just what they could do with the 3DS. The 3D effect was nice, but the graphics were just too messy to showcase them. So, just stick to Mario Kart 7, at least it looks nice and actually works to a decent standard.

Freshman move-in day on the sixth floor of ASU's Manzanita Hall was a reunion of friends who'd never met.
"That's my boy," Sammie Hall, a freshman from Kentucky, hollered at his roommate, Bryan Williams, a Southern California native.
Williams and Hall slapped hands as they crossed outside Manzanita on Wednesday morning. They talked like close friends who share confidences. It was only the second time they had stood next to each other. But the roommates had chatted together, and with many of their neighbors, for months using Facebook, the social networking Web site.
The traditional college move-in day, filled with anxiety, is fast becoming a relic.
In its place, thousands of this year's Arizona State University freshmen built an online social scene during the summer. Dorm residents organized parties, shared moving advice and got an early glimpse of what their neighbors look like.
For the guys on Manzanita's sixth floor, Facebook helped confirm who was bringing video games.
"It sort of spoiled the mystery, but I'm so excited cause all my roommates are gamers," Williams said of meeting his neighbors early. "It's gonna be crackin'."
Facebook conversations don't have awkward pauses, Hall said, making it a good place to talk to girls.
Stephanie Eminowicz's roommate is already working to set her up on a date.
Eminowicz, a freshman from Glendale, said she and her roommate first talked on the phone, but mainly communicated on MySpace pages.
"They already know each other's names, what they like. They're making dates with friends," said Connie Roland, Eminowicz's mom.
Students said they use both Facebook and MySpace, the nation's largest social networks. While MySpace has millions more members, Facebook claims to have 85 percent of the market at universities.
Until last September, Facebook only allowed college students to join, and undergrads remain some of its most avid users. The site creates a sense of community at each school by requiring members to provide a university e-mail address to join a university's network.
The Web sites have been criticized because members, particularly young college students, often post photos of themselves scantly clad and drinking alcohol. The Facebook group for Manzanita's fifthfloor residents invites "those of us who will be passing out on the 5th floor of manzi at the end of the night."
Social networking sometimes keeps students apart.
A handful of parents called ASU this summer to change their student's dorm assignment after checking the roommate on Facebook, said Michael Coakley, the university's residential life director.
"Since the contract is really with the student, we ask to speak with the student, and then we listen to what the student's concerns are," Coakley said. ASU officials try to accommodate parents' requests.
Such complaints have increased gradually the past couple years, said Diana Bejarano-Medina, a residential life spokeswoman.
ASU appears to endorse Facebook, at least unofficially. The students hired to manage the dorms regularly post comments on the group sites to communicate with their freshmen residents.
Out of about 7,400 freshmen living on ASU's Tempe campus, 2,486 have registered with Facebook, the site shows.
"It's a good thing," Medina said, "at least it can be."
Cathy Small, a Northern Arizona University anthropology professor, agrees.
Dorm residents are doing the same things on Facebook as they have long done on their front doors: express themselves, she said. Hallways are still a mosaic of pictures, magazine covers and posters that students hang for decoration.
Pages on MySpace and Facebook are only an updated version of the same thing, Small said.
"They're about the values of undergraduate culture, which have to do with informality, sociability, freedom, individuality," she said. "There's not a picture of their parents on their dorm door. There's a picture of them partying."
Small made national headlines after she spent 2002 posing as an NAU student to observe college life up close. She took a full class load and even lived in a dorm.
This semester, Small is teaching a class on the anthropology of "everyday life," and students' first assignment will be analyzing pictures on Facebook.
The comments ASU students post in public are largely warm toward each other. However, some are suspicious when they can't find someone online.
Dan Coburn, a freshman from Portland, Ore., met two of his neighbors through San Pablo Hall's Facebook group. But his roommate doesn't have a profile on Facebook or MySpace. The roommate might be an anti-technology zealot, Coburn said he fears. Why else wouldn't an 18-year-old have a profile?
"It's really kind of scary," he said.

Unbeatable organic sun protection
This sunscreen protects against burns very well. It is very thick out of the tube and requires some extra effort to rub in but it does the job. It does leave a white residue so I avoid using this on a daily basis and instead only use it for sporting or water related activity. Will be checking out their recently launched tinted stick in the hopes I can use it more frequently since this is the very best organic and natural sunscreen brand on the market.

Pretty good stuff...
I just got this sunscreen in the mail yesterday and was able to try it out today. I play tennis almost every day in the summer and was wanting to try this after hearing about all the bad stuff that is in other sunscreens. This is the first organic sunscreen I have tried, but it seems pretty good to me, I didn't get burned and I didn't notice anything bad about it.

Effective barrier sun block without the white zinc mask
I just got a tube of this in time for a cruise last week. Seven days in the sun and I needed something that protected me, didn't wash off when I went in for a dip and wasn't full of questionable chemicals (like most sunscreens are). I'm pleased to report this lotion hit the mark on all three criteria. I like how it's a barrier sun block of zinc oxide, but it also has some skin softening ingredients so it has some bonus moisturizing benefits as well. It absorbed readily and well - no chalky white mask like some other zinc formulas.
By Valerie on June 28, 2012
Great product!
This is the best physical block sunscreen that I have used. It does not leave a white film and it is very waterproof. It has caused no irritation on my daughters very sensitive skin.
