OMG!!! This just makes me more excited for Sunday! Edward looks so tormented already! BTW..I think it is pretty funny at the end of the ET promo..."Disturbing Obsessions!" I think I could be on that segment! HA!ReplyDelete
*squeal* Oh my gosh! The kissing scene again! How many times did Kristen kiss Rob? I actually have to hold my squealing just to myself since I'm at work *of course on my break time*. I was just smiling and smirking like a crazy woman alone in my cubicle. Oh, this week is just emotionally overwhelming and exhausting for me and it goes probably to all the Twihards. I'm so loaded with so much mixed emotions that I'm ready to burst! My husband now thinks I need to go to rehab since I'm becoming obsessed and crazy in the Twilight world. *sigh* I wish I could speed up the time so November would be here in a heartbeat. I've never ever waited for winter to come so quickly (I hate winter - I hate anything that is wet, cold - hehehe) but for the sake of watching New Moon I'd trade my soul to make it happen *okay this is what my husband is talking about*ReplyDelete

He does kiss her when he drops her off at the house, but she ask for another kiss when they are up in her bedroom. After twilight I'm not expecting them to stick to the book. As long as it all flows well, I'm ok with it.ReplyDelete

SUMMIT WHY MUST YOU TORMENT US LIEK THIS?!?!?!?!ReplyDelete
O M E....ReplyDelete
what do you guys think...
edward has on the same outfit in the new teaser trailer and in the big reunion scene, has anyone else realized that??? He has on a gray suit with a navy blue long sleeve, in the reunion scene he has the jacket off.... the pants and shirt look all worn out like he has worn them since he left Bella in Forks.... Something to think about, maybe he leaves her that next morning.... Doesnt care about himself at all keeps the same clothes on.... hhhmmmm..... What do you guys think?
OH MAN! She says I love you! Chris Weitze was is a God sent!ReplyDelete
He looked beautiful, didn't he. Im going to have to bring Mylanta to the movies because my stomach knots at the thought of them spliting. Just seeing the look on is face was enough to double me over...I predict an ulcer in my future. LOL.
Oh my. I cannot wait. I squealed when I watched this... than my husband complained I'm acting like a 15 year old at a Backstreet Boys concert.ReplyDelete

OCD - I think you are right! I was wondering why the shirt was torn....ReplyDelete
Well, when you wander around in the jungles of South America, you can't expect your clothes to go unscathed! LOL!ReplyDelete
And I guess this is Rob keeping in character -considering he wears the same shirt for a couple of days at a time!
Kat, I agree with you. This must be after Jasper attacks Bella and Heather, I'm also 32 and I'm totally obsessed with Twilight. :)You go girl!ReplyDelete
OMG, the "I love you" OMG!!! Love it!!! WANT MORE!!ReplyDelete
I forgot to add, whats tonight??? :OReplyDelete

omgggggggg!thats so kewl!!I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!I MUST GO TO ITALY WHERE THEY'RE FLIMING IT AND STALK THEM HEHE JK!NO.If i go to Italy i would go crazy , insane , all twlight freak , weirdo.Am i the only 12 year old ?In the comment box?At school i scare ppl when i start talking about Twilight and New Moon going OCD:Obesses , Cullen , Disorder no rehab neccessary.btw im in 7th grade.AT my school im the ONLY person thats really obesses with the Twilight Saga like really , badly obsess i guess thats why ppl dont like me.:( and when i get home i go online and write comments , where i feel safe and myself.ReplyDelete
At school i cant even talk about the Twilight Saga cuz ppl talk s*** about me and tell ppl to not be my friend or talk , or hang out without me. makes me :( , really sad and when i get home i start reading blogs and writing comments.And im having a hard time at school even though i have a consuelor at school.ReplyDelete
Kristen is pretty damn sexy in this scene. Who knew??ReplyDelete
and Rob is always just loverly. :)
I just freaking die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I hope the scene will be better all around as a whole. Sorry I'm an addict with this stuff, but I didn't like the acting AT ALL!! Very Cheesy to me, don't get me wrong the concept I LOVE>> EDWARD KISSING BELLA AND THE INTENSITY THEY HAVE WITH HIS SELF CONTROL(OR LACK OF), but Rob and Kristen did not bring that across on the film:(( disappointedReplyDelete
Renesmee Cullen - I'm sorry to hear that no likes to talk Twilight with you. The great thing about being you is you can be or love anything that you want. If ppl don't understand your interest or who you are as a person, then they're just jealous b-cuz they don't know who they are. I am much older than you, in fact I could be your mother!! uggghh! School and friends can always be a hard time, but always remember it doesn't last forever, you will grow up and most of the ppl will not be any significance to you at all. Focus on the "real-ppl" in your life that love you no matter what, cuz that's what counts in life- your family. Always, remember we here all love the Twilight series so keep bloggin with us. P.S. people think I'm a freak bcuz I'm older and obsessed with this stuff too. My friends and family laugh at me when I tell them toooo much about the series, they look at me like I should be commited, so it occurs at any age:)))
Ok... i think I'll have to go watch twilight for the 100th time.... =SReplyDelete

It is really getting hard to wait; this has been one heck of a week. What would
Make it perfect is if they would win best kiss at the MTV awards. They both look
so good.

It's okay guys, I'm 25 and shouldn't be this excited for the movie either, I guess. Thank god there is twicrack for moral support and thank god I have to friends that share my obsession, 'cause if my family knew how obsessed I was they would make fun of me and think I'm a little crazy! LOL!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 30, 2009 at 4:27 AM
I HAVE A QUESTION GUYS:ReplyDelete
Do you think they're going to have Bella's voice over in NM like they did with Twilight?
I have to say I personally liked it because most of the voice over was straight out of the book, and it let people that didn't read the book understand what was going on in the movie, giving it imo more depth.
- AnonymousMay 30, 2009 at 4:54 AM
Yes they will!ReplyDelete
I got a copy of the script and there is TONS of voice overs in it!
For example:
"These violent delights have violent ends..."... until the moon is enveloped in shadow; a new moon... *which disappears into the darkness.*
OVER BLACK - A RUFFLED TULIP appears, isolated against the *blackness. *
"... And in their triumph die, like *fire and powder..."
-That is said right when the credits are over. And also after the dream:
It was just a dream... but also my worst nightmare.
-Also after Edward leaves:
Edward took everything with him. Including my life. He promised it *would be like he never existed... ...
And so much more throughout the movie. But I found there was too many voice overs but oh well, i was pleased. And its true; no proposal at the end... big bummer and dissapointment.:(

***SPOILER*** DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT A MOVIE SPOILER!ReplyDelete
Oh yeah and I just have to post this. I can really vision this in the movie and it will seem sad:
Bella sits in a rocking chair by the window. Her face *blank. Empty.
STAY ON BELLA, unchanging - but THROUGH THE *WINDOW OUTSIDE, we SEE TIME LAPSING behind her -- *
OCTOBER -- Costumed kids appear in the yard, trick-or-*treating. DISSOLVE INTO...*
NOVEMBER -- NEIGHBORS (BOB MARKS and his WIFE) bring Charlie a turkey... they glance up at Bella's window with concern...*WINTER BEGINS -- the trees'branches are now bare...*
DECEMBER -- Charlie drags a Christmas tree toward the house... *worry has taken its toll on him. But Bella remains*unchanged... *
Dear Mom... I'm... (beat)... lost...
PAN the now blank walls of the exceedingly neat room; gone *are all traces of Edward...
Edward took everything with him. Including my life. He promised it *would be like he never existed... ...
LAND ON the scrapbook which lies open; the photo of Bella and Edward's embrace at the birthday party - gone.
BELLA AT HER COMPUTER, typing an e-mail to Renee.
... But I need to know he did.
Bella sits on the couch, blank, as the rain pounds. Charlie watches her, concerned.
Yeah the post above is mine also! :)
By the way; I'm 14 and am crazy for this.

Hannah, There is a warning that it's a spoiler before he script words even begin. There are tons of spoilers all over this site.ReplyDelete
No offense, we are all friends here bound by our love for twilight. :) Some of us love to read the spoilers and some of us have the choice not to. Be upset when there is no warning first.
P.S. I am not the anonymous who posted the script but I was not offended by it and you should not be either.
Renessme Cullen, Hi there Twilight friend. I think Heidi Ho gave you the best advice that any of us here could have given you. If you just listen to every piece of advice she gave you then all the other drama at school should not matter. Just remember that you have friends here at Twicrack! :)ReplyDelete

Kelly Slater Wins Hurley Pro At Lowers
In a largely one-sided final against Joel Parkinson, Kelly Slater nabbed the 2012 Hurley Pro, his third in a row. The win also marks his 50th world tour victory, and vaults him up to number three in the world rankings. It hardly comes as much of a surprise, Lowers has been Slater's most dominant event on tour, and the scene of some the most memorable moments of his pro career. From dream crushing performances to controversial calls and interferences, it's provided him and fans with loads of entertainment. "I've had so many good years at Lowers," said Slater, "the pressure is really on to make the final. It's cool to win the 50th event here. I won my first event as a pro here, so it feels like a nice wrap up."
Slater started off the final with a long left, looking loose and comfortable. Meanwhile Parko looked tentative, falling on an off the lip on his first wave. That set the tone, as Kelly followed with a second score on a long right under Joel's priority. From there, Kelly continued logging 7s and 8s while Parko sat out the back waiting for a bigger set wave. When it finally arrived, he was too deep in the hole, despite lighting it up for an 8.33.
The results tighten up the world title race, with Mick Fanning still in the lead, followed by Parko, and Slater now creeping into third. Pundits may already be talking about Kelly's 12th world title, but up next the tour heads to France, an event Mick Fanning has won three times. --Casey Koteen
ASP Press Release
LOWER TRESTLES, California/USA (Thursday, September 20, 2012) - Kelly Slater (USA), 40, reigning 11-time ASP World Champion has claimed the Hurley Pro at Trestles over Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, in clean three-to-five foot (1 - 1.5 metre) waves at Lower Trestles, marking the iconic Floridian's 50th elite ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) win of his career.
Event No. 6 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour, the Hurley Pro at Trestles culminated in dramatic fashion today with the world's best going head-to-head in pristine Southern California conditions.
Slater got off to a quick start in the Final bout against Parkinson, electing smaller inside waves, surfing them impeccably and moving from strength-to-strength throughout the heat. Surfing on a four-fin "Quad" surfboard, Slater's juggernaut momentum and searing performance would prove too much for the in-form Parkinson as he confidently took his sixth event title at Lower Trestles, his third consecutive.
"I know I went out there feeling like I didn't have anything to lose because Parko (Joel Parkinson) was the form guy," Slater said. "He was pretty much the standout in every round. He schooled Medina (Gabriel Medina) yesterday somehow and was combo'ing everybody. I just figured I had to get myself on the best waves and let go a little bit, but it got really quiet out there. It was the first time something really felt like it went my way when they (the judges) took my priority away. By the time they announced it, Joel was above the wave and couldn't catch it. That was the turning point for me. Every contest I've won, there's some moment where things go my way."
Slater, who now sits at 3rd on the ASP WCT ratings, views today's victory as a turning point in the 2012 season and will look to carry his recent momentum throughout the upcoming European leg of competition.
"I knew that heat would either make or break me for the year," Slater said. "I would have let Parko (Joel Parkinson) have those extra 2,000 points if he'd won and it would look very different on the ratings. It's nice heading into Europe. I feel like I've had so many good years at Lowers and the pressure is really on every year to make the Final - I feel like it's been like that since I've been on tour. It's cool to win the 50th here. I won my first event as a pro here and it's great to get this win."
Parkinson was dominant throughout the entirety of the Hurley Pro at Trestles, consistently posting high scores in every round of competition. The stylish Australian was unable to find the set waves he had been able to in previous rounds, but today's Runner-Up finish against Slater cements his position as ASP WCT No. 2 heading into Europe.
"A Final is a good result," Parkinson said. "Tahiti kind of hurt a lot. I felt like I was on a bit of a good one this week. It was all going well. Every time I paddled out, I had a lot of waves and Kelly (Slater) had those heats where he had no waves and I was thinking, 'my mojo is stronger.' Sure enough, the Final was a slow one. It was one of those ones where you feel like you're on point all week and Mother Nature just lets you down."
Mick Fanning (AUS), 31, two-time ASP World Champion and current ASP WCT No. 1, was another standout at Lower Trestles this week, consistently lacerating the righthand Lowers walls with powerful combinations. However, Fanning was unable to find a rhythm in his Semifinal bout against Slater, exiting the Hurley Pro at Trestles with an Equal 3rd place finish.
"Even when he had those first two waves, I was confident that I could come back if the waves came," Fanning said. "It just stopped. That's the nature of our game. You can't really fight back if there is nothing there and I sort of thought after I didn't break the combo with that one wave, I was thinking there had to be a flurry or it was pretty much done."
Fanning, who entered the Hurley Pro at Trestles fresh off of a victory in Tahiti, knew advancing over Slater would have strengthened his lead in the hunt for the 2012 ASP World Title, but admitted that an equal 3rd place result is a strong addition to this season's campaign.
"Kelly (Slater) and I both knew what was going on and if I got on top from there the title race would have just been further away," Fanning said. "He surfed a really smart heat and threw caution to the wind and it paid off. I was just unlucky. The ocean didn't really cooperate with me, but a third is a keeper. It's another result I don't have to worry about and I learned a lot of things at this event."
Adriano de Souza (BRA), 25, current ASP WCT No. 5, led the South American contingent, eliminating fellow countryman and event standout Gabriel Medina (BRA), 18, in Round 5 and John John Florence (HAW), 19, in their Quarterfinals match, but was unable to surpass Parkinson's rampage in the Semifinals, finishing equal 3rd overall.
"I had a nice heat against Gabriel (Medina) a few months ago at the US Open and he beat me," De Souza said after his Quarterfinals win. "Gabriel's such a good guy and a good competitor, he's going to battle for the world title soon and I just got lucky. I was trying to find a few waves at the beginning to put pressure on him."

Third bold:
What player are you going to sign for $4M that scores more and more efficiently and gives you more than double the rebounds? Remember you are sitting Bargnani so you are paying him $11M but now you have $4M to find a player to make up Boozer's production.
On/Off court net? Isn't that what you were going on about prior? Didn't you repeatedly refer to the play of Chicago and Toronto with each player Off the court and how much better Chicago was?

Mo to decide about retirement before opener
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has reached a decision if 2013 will be his final season and plans to make an announcement before Opening Day.
"Yes, I have," Rivera said. "I won't give it up until I'm ready for that. I will tell you guys when it is the right moment."
Rivera, 43, took part in the first official workout for Yankees pitchers and catchers on Wednesday, wearing a light brace on his surgically repaired right knee.
Grinning often as he went through the usual spring paces, Rivera threw a bullpen session with catcher J.R. Murphy and did not appear to be limited in any way.
Rivera also took pitchers' fielding practice, including repeatedly breaking from the mound to receive throws at first base.
"This was the first time that I've thrown the first day of Spring Training. It was good," Rivera said. "I needed to do this. I need to be on the field as much as I can and stay on the field."
Rivera was limited to just nine appearances last year with the Yankees, his season cut short by a torn anterior cruciate ligament on May 3. The all-time saves leader said he expects a full return to form.
"Definitely. I always demand myself that," Rivera said. "I'm looking for that. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
Rivera has spoken openly about retirement in past seasons, and he enjoyed parrying with the media last spring by dropping hints that he was intending to make 2012 his last season.
Rivera has said that his plans were altered by the injury, which he suffered while shagging fly balls during batting practice in Kansas City. Rivera said that the injury will not alter his pregame routine.
"I don't want to change," Rivera said. "I will do whatever it takes to be myself again. I don't want to be someone that I'm not. I have to be careful -- yeah. I'm always careful."
With a decision about retirement seemingly in the works, Rivera said that the only delay is that he needs to tie up some personal loose ends before making a public announcement.
"Don't worry, the time will come," Rivera said. "You guys have been patient enough. Another day or week, it won't hurt."

PET scans use an injection of low-level radioactive material to highlight specific types of tissue in medical images. Different types of radiation may be chosen for different tissue. The radioactive material options for prostate cancer tissue include:
- Indium-111 capromab pendetide
- Choline C-11 or F-18
Reasons for Test
The radioactive material above attaches itself to prostate cancer tissue, but passes other tissue in the body. The radioactive material makes prostate cancer tissue visible with a PET scan. Indium-111 capromab pendetide helps find cancer that has spread beyond the prostate, such as the lymph tissue or bones. Choline C-11 or F-18 is used for those who have had prostate cancer treatment, but may be at a high risk for recurrence.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Changes in the levels of bilirubin (a waste product) in the blood
- Elevated liver enzymes
- Changes in blood pressure
- Allergic reaction to radioactive material
What to Expect
Prior to test
Before your test:
- The doctor may recommend a laxative or enema the night before to clean out the bowel.
- A catheter may be used to empty the bladder just before surgery.
Description of the Test
Indium-111 capromab pendetide:
The indium-111 capromab pendetide scan is done in 2 parts. The radioactive material will be slowly injected through an IV and images are taken. The patient can then return home with no restrictions. After 4-5 days, the patient returns for the PET scan.
Choline C-11/F-18:
A radioactive form of choline (a B-complex vitamin) is injected into a vein. Prostate cancer cells quickly absorb the choline. The scan is done right away to get the full effect of the radioactivity, which breaks down quickly. The radioactive forms of choline are C-11 or F-18.
After Test
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume normal activities.
How Long Will It Take?
Indium-111 capromab pendetide—1-2 hours
Choline C-11 or F-18—less than 30 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Your doctor will review the images. The results will be ready in a few days.
Call Your Doctor
Call if you have any questions or concerns. If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I am still a little surprised by Wolstat's 'educated guess' comment yesterday about BOTH Lowry and Calderon possibly being traded. I am starting to think that is 100% the way to go.
I am still a little surprised by Wolstat's 'educated guess' comment yesterday about BOTH Lowry and Calderon possibly being traded. I am starting to think that is 100% the way to go.
1. Has he been promised by management that he's on the bench until Feb. 21st where they move Calderon for something. He was told to just learn the system and hang in tight. Once the deadline passes, he gets everything back...
2. OR, the team has responded by saying we like Jose and the system. That's he's not a team player and is being kept around to maintain his value for a trade. IMHO, it's one of these two.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. - Martin Luther King
But if coming off the bench is having some effect on his ego or confidence or is in some way bothering him and effecting his performance, this team doesn't need to stroke his ego and make him feel better. He needs to find some way to suck it up and get over it.
All this fawning over Jose about professionalism and how great of a guy he is but he wasn't getting it done off the bench. Like it or not, most players who have traditionally been starters do suffer from coming off the bench. It clearly has happened to Lowry (but he was also asked to change his game) and it happened with Jose.
And I still don't even know what Jose has to do with any of this. You think Jose played poorly or terrible or whatever off the bench. Ok thats fine. But therefore what? Lowry should start? Therefore the organization should treat Lowry with a special privilege? Therefore Lowry has an excuse for allowing his new role to potentially effecting his mentality?
There is a double standard when it comes to Jose. The Raptors suck. They have sucked for years with Jose leading the charge. Jose is still leading the charge and they still suck. Jose commended for professionalism but he clearly did not play with the same heart, desire, poise, or energy off the bench as he has starting.
So in essence your solution for Lowry to suck it up and get over is a crock of shit and ignores the reality of the importance of starting in the NBA - especially as guys are playing in or near contract years. Lowry is a much better player and is benched behind a less talented one. He has been vilified by a very large portion of the fan base and media while the guy starting has been the leader of a bottom feeder for years. Oh yeah, Kyle, suck it up buddy because Toronto (players, coaches, management) really knows what the f*ck they are doing in creating a winning franchise.
Lowry hasn't been 'broken' by Toronto. Come on. This is a guy who publicly fought with Kevin McHale; he's hardly likely to be 'broken' by the likes of Casey and Colangelo, or initimidated into playing a different style by the threat of Calderon. He's playing the same style that gave him some success in Houston, and the same style that led to him sitting the bench in favour of Dragic.
I was more than willing to see how this trade turned out -- I also thought that if Lowry played the way he did in Houston, it might work out well here. But for whatever reason, it hasn't.
He's not playing well, and he's not playing like the best player on the team by any stretch. Whether this is an indication of what can be expected from him if he's kept, I don't know. But right now, Calderon is the better PG for this team at this point in time.
I have no objection to either option - trade him or not - because he's probably the best trade chip they have, and likely to bring more back alone or in combo with other players. The lost pick is water under the bridge at this point; his low salary and the fact that teams are becoming more enamoured with Westbrook-type PGs makes him valuable on the market.
If he stays, he'll have a few more months to show whether he can fit this team, this system. It'll be pretty obvious.
I guess the bottom line for me is, he's not looking like a player you "build a team around", so get the most value out of him that you can, whether that means using him as your starting PG at a cheap salary for 2 years or trading him.
Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.
Colangelo doesn't see everything that happen with the team and Casey does. That's probably why they cant agree on him and Casey prefers that mature, Jose. In Orlando I saw Lowry yell at Derozan for not coming high enough on a cut, Demar still scored but Kyle was pissed. DD replied " ya, my bad".
I think its like having a co-worker that is cool outside of work but while your on shift together the guy is a douche.

(lowry) vs (Jose)
criticism vs. constructive criticism
Lowry is talking to guys all the time, just like Jose., I don't know what you're basing that criticism assumption on
Good discussion. All that I know is that Lowry was sulking like a little bitch on the end of the bench last night when Jose hit the layup for us to go ahead by 2. Didnt even join the huddle when there was a very realistic chance he was going back in the game if it went to OT.
This is in sharp contrast to just a few games ago, when he was one of our biggest cheerleaders on the bench. I dont know exactly what happened, but its clearly something.
I dont see this lasting long - I would bet one of Jose or Lowry will be gone within the next couple of weeks ... and if I had to guess, it will be Lowry. And, for people saying "you better get as much as we gave up for him" .. you are dreaming in technicolour ... we wont get anywhere near a high first round pick for him. Another BC disaster ...
Put lowry on the Rockets again with Harden and I think he would be a perfect fit. Hope that makes sense.
It's probably been mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'll say it again. Lowry has been excellent coming off the bench in the last 15 games coming back from injury, numbers wise anyway. According to Basketball Reference, in 23.7 minutes per game, he's averaging 11.1 points, 5.8 assists and 3.2 boards; he's shooting .435 percent from the field and .448 percent from three. He's averaging 9 assists per 36 minutes. He's been playing well. I'm not quite sure why Toronto would give up on him. Boston needs a point guard though???

pair of researchers at Arizona State University has announced a new
advancement in making nanowires that could one day lead to
significantly more efficient solar panels and LED lighting that is
color changeable. The engineers who made the advance are Cun-Zheng
Ning and Alian Pan.The pair are working on ways to improve
the quaternary alloy semiconductor nanowire raw materials.
The nanowires the pair work with are nanometers in diameter and tens
of microns in length. They are made from four elements, typically by
alloying two or more compound semiconductors.The researchers
say that the band gap is the most important thing that controls how
solar panels absorb sunlight and what color light LEDs produce. The
more available band gaps for solar panels, the more of the spectrum
of light panels will be able to absorb. With LEDs, more band gaps
mean more colors of light can be produced. The big
hurdle for the researchers is that naturally occurring and manmade
semiconductors today only have a specific band gap. The only way to
widen the band gap available to the semiconductor is to compound two
or more semiconductors. The trick to accomplishing the alloy of
semiconductors is that they two have to have a lattice with similar
inter-atomic spaces to match and be grown together.Ning said,
"This is why we cannot grow alloys of arbitrary compositions to
achieve arbitrary band gaps. This lack of available band gaps is one
of reasons current solar cell efficiency is low, and why we do not
have LED lighting colors that can be adjusted for various
situations."So far, the team has been able to create a
zinc sulfide and cadmium selenide alloy to produce a quaternary
semiconductor – this is the first time that a quaternary
semiconductor has been produced in the form of a nanowire or
nanoparticle. The team is now studying the application and use of the
quaternary alloy materials for making solar cells and has developed a
lateral multi-cell design panel.

Desert Valleys FCU Picks Interns for the Summer
The $23.5 million Desert Valleys FCU announced Thursday it has selected not one, but two paid interns for its summer internship program.
The program was made possible by an NCUA grant, said CEO Eric Bruen in a release.
The internship program at the Ridgecrest, Calif., credit union requires considerably more than fetching coffee and assembling new member kits.
The three-part program provides each intern with an opportunity to gain education about the credit union system while experiencing first-hand the day-to-day operations of a credit union.
The first part involves a 40-course online training catalog to be completed during the internship. The second involves direct member interaction and credit union operational involvement, and the third part requires interns to develop a video presentation on the program and the products and services of a credit union.
The two will present their videos at a local Rotary Club meeting and Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Jonathan Neely, a junior at California Baptist University, and Christal Hoang, a sophomore at Cerro Coso College, were selected for the positions and began work at the 4,000-member credit union on June 16. Each was selected from amongst 15 applicants for the position, Desert Valleys said.
"The best part of this program is the chance to bring in young energetic minds into the credit union world." Bruen said. "We believe that there is so much to learn about the critical differences between banks and credit unions and Jonathan and Christal are perfect examples of how this education can build future generations."
The program will run until mid-August.

As the deputy pulled behind the SUV, the male driver exited the driver's seat. After being told several times to get back in his car, the driver finally complied. The deputy noticed that he was extremely shaky and appeared nervous. When asked who's house he was going to, the driver said his aunt's house; when asked if this was her house, he stated, "It actually might be just up the road" as he pointed north. As the deputy spoke with him for just under a minute in weather around 32 degrees, he watched as a bead of sweat ran down the side of the man's face. The deputy could also see that his teeth were rotten and his cheeks were sunken in, which were all signs of someone who uses narcotics. The deputy could also see a container that he knew was a common place for narcotics users to keep their paraphernalia and drugs. The deputy asked the driver about it, and he said it was marijuana but there were items used for smoking methamphetamine inside. There was also a small medical marijuana container which had a white crystalline substance in the bottom. When asked what else was in the container the driver told the deputy it was "meth." At that point, he was placed under arrest and taken to the jail where the deputy filled out a Felony Hold for possession of Schedule II substance, which did test positive for meth.
. A deputy on patrol on Hwy. 160 observed a vehicle traveling eastbound with a non-functional passenger side headlight. He conducted a traffic stop and contacted a female driver. After telling the woman the reason why he stopped her, the deputy asked dispatch to check the woman's driver's license status as well as to check for wants/warrants. Dispatch advised that the woman had an outstanding felony warrant out of La Plata County with a $10,000 bond. The woman was placed under arrest by another deputy who had arrived to assist. The woman was transported to the Montezuma County Jail where she was served with the warrant. The vehicle was left at the scene in a safe location, and the woman was left in the care and custody of the jail staff.
. A deputy patrolling on Hwy. 160 observed a car heading east that was traveling faster than the posted speed limit and was clocked at 73 MPH. The deputy contacted the driver and three other passengers. After the deputy explained the reason for the stop, the female driver told him, "Yeah, officer I know I was speeding, but I was just lollygagging." When asked to provide her registration and proof of insurance, she said in a very nervous and hesitant way, "Officer, you can look in the computer, right? I just don't know if they are in the glove box." The deputy asked the woman to look for the papers as he asked the other passengers for their ID. As the female opened the glove box, the deputy noticed a purple fabric bag that the deputy knew was commonly used to also store drugs and paraphernalia. The female seemed very nervous as she moved the bag to the side, out of the deputy's view, and removed documents. Dispatch advised via radio of one of the backseat passenger's past criminal record involving controlled substances. Another officer responded to the scene with his K9. Once he arrived at the location, the deputy was able to individually interview each passenger, and the only part of their statements that seemed to match was their final destination, Durango. None of them remembered how long they had known each other, what the other passengers' full names were, or what exactly their final destination was in Durango. The other deputy deployed his K9, which alerted to the passenger side area of the vehicle, and the female stated that the only thing that was in the vehicle was a little marijuana in the armrest. A search revealed that the female's purse held a digital scale and wallet with $475 rolled up inside the coin compartment. The armrest revealed a small amount of marijuana. Under the container, he located a second purple fabric bag containing two rolled up one-dollar bills commonly used to snort controlled substances. Inside the glove box, the other purple fabric bag was found to contain a large amount of methamphetamine, cocaine, and Ecstasy pills (approximately 76 pills along with multiple partial pieces). Also found inside the bag was 64 separate plastic baggies with a green imprint. All substances tested positive for the above-listed controlled substances. No one in the car would claim ownership of the bag. The female driver was advised of her Miranda rights and she exercised her right to remain silent. She was transported to the jail and was left under the care of the deputies there under Felony Hold for the offenses of Unlawful Distribution, Manufacturing, Dispensing or Sale Schedule II Substances for each of meth, cocaine, MDMA/Ecstasy, as well as possession for the same items, and paraphernalia, as well as for speeding. The car was towed and impounded. All other passengers in the vehicle were released.

When it
comes to meeting the strict
CAFE standards for fuel efficiency across an automaker's fleet, companies
are looking for any assistance they can get. The increasing availability of EVs
and hybrids are helping automakers to keep their larger less efficient
vehicles on the road maps for the future. But perfecting electrified
vehicles is no easy order.
I. Google Teams up With Ford
An hybrid is only as good as the algorithms controlling when its electric drive
kicks in to supplement or replace gas drive power.
Ford Motor Company (F) makes the best-selling hybrid
to date from any American manufacturer (the Ford
Fusion Hybrid). Later this year, it will release its first battery
electric vehicle (BEV), the 2012 Ford Focus Electric.
In the interest of optimizing the performance of its electrified fleet, Ford is
teaming up with internet and smartphone giant Google Inc. (GOOG). Ford will use the
new Google
Prediction API to custom-tailor your vehicle to your common driving routes,
in order to offer optimal performance.
In an interview with DailyTech, Jóhannes Kristinsson, the
systems architect of Ford's Vehicle Controls Architecture and Algorithm Design
team, comments that the new project differs from Ford's ongoing collaborations
with university research teams to study traffic patterns.
The Predictive API will be exclusively focused on the driver, logging and
analyzing their driving history (sort of auto equivalent of your web browsing
history). In that regard, it is oblivious to traffic. By studying a
user's driving patterns, the system tries to "predict where the driver is
going and then optimize the upcoming trip with respect to electric driving
For now, though, the algorithm focuses on a single driver's behavior.
Data is collected remotely and transferred to dedicated server hardware
as the history logging and route analysis is quite intensive, in terms of
storage and processing power. Data sent to the cloud would be made
anonymous to protect users' privacy.
At a later time, information from multiple users in an area could possibly be
compiled to form better route-specific programs, allowing a user to get
semi-optimized performance for routes they haven't personally driven before.
Describes Mr. Kristinsson, "The focus of this research is how we can make
the vehicle perform better for the drivers personal driving habits. In a
plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, there are both a traditional engine, and an
electrical motor connected to a large battery which can be charged from the
grid. The vehicle needs, at all times, to determine which of these to use at
any time in order to meet the drivers demands and deliver great
"If we can predict where the vehicle is going, and confirm this with the
driver we can save electrical energy for upcoming occasions, or
"electrical zones" in this case, in order to give the driver a great
driving experience for all portions of the route."
II. Availability
Mr. Kristinsson confirms that the hardware and software Ford is developing
could eventually find its way into consumer vehicles. But he makes it clear
not to expect to see it in consumer models for a little while.
"This is a Research project at Ford with many different objectives. Not
only do we want to prove that the technology works, we also need to figure out
how to integrate these new features in a seamless way with the rest of the
vehicle as well as understand how to handle safety, security and privacy of
personal information, something that is of utmost importance for us,"
stated Mr. Kristinsson, "That said, we do think that this kind of technology
could be mature enough to be introduced in consumer vehicles in 4-8
Ford is still trying to work out the exact logistics of the deployment, but it
seems clear that the company's internal test fleet of battery electric vehicles
and hybrid electric vehicles will be involved.
Mr. Kristinsson comments, "As availability of electric and plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles are limited at this time, we are investigating other ways of
collecting the behavioral data we need. This involves installing data loggers
in conventional vehicles for a select set of users, and then transfer this data
to our prototype plug-in hybrids. We are also investigating using data from
other sources available for us. It is yet too early to say how we should roll
out a larger test, but we do want to make sure we are covering all sort of
drivers to reflect the multitude of our customers."
III. Ford -- Back to the Cloud
This won't be the first cloud service that Ford offers, it already offer cloud
services through Sync.
So far, those services have been strictly for infotainment
and navigation. This would be the first cloud service by Ford that can
directly control vehicle settings. This could help vehicles like the Focus
Electric optimize themselves for the destination with little driver
Current generation Ford vehicles lack a built-in 3G modem. Instead, they
connect to the cloud via devices like wireless-enabled smartphones or tablets.
As prices drop, Ford is expected to install wireless modems in its fleet.
These devices would not only improve the performance of Sync/MyFord
Touch by allowing remote updates and upgrades, but could also be employed
in more advanced assignments -- like the aforementioned predictive electric
drivetrain algorithms.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
American Time Use Survey (ATUS), 2009 (ICPSR 30902)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census; United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) collects information on how people living in the United States spend their time. Data collected in this study measured the amount of time that people spent doing various activities in 2009, such as paid work, child care, religious activities, volunteering, and socializing. Respondents were interviewed only once about how they spent their time on the previous day, where they were, and whom they were with. Part 1, Activity File, includes additional information on activities in which respondents participated, including the location of each activity and the total time spent on secondary child care. Part 2, Call History File, gives information about each call attempt. Part 3, Case History File, contains information about the interview process. Part 4, ATUS-CPS 2009 File, contains demographic and occupational data on respondents and members of their household collected during their participation in the Current Population Survey (CPS). Part 5, Respondent File, contains demographic information about respondents. Part 6, Roster File, contains information about household members and non-household children under the age of 18. Part 7, Activity Summary File, contains a summary of the total amount of time they spent doing each activity that day. Part 8, Trips File, provides information about the number, duration, and purpose of overnight trips away from home for two or more nights in a row in a given reference month. Part 9, ATUS 2009 Replicate Weights File, contains base weights, replicate base weights, and replicate final weights for each case that was selected to be interviewed for the ATUS. Part 10, Who File, includes data on who was present during each activity. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, ethnicity, marital status, education level, income, employment status, occupation, citizenship status, country of origin, labor union membership of household members, and household composition.

Universe: All residents aged 15 and over living in households in the United States, with the exception of active military personnel and people residing in institutions such as nursing homes and prisons.
The data available for download are not weighted and users will need to weight the data prior to analysis. For more information about ATUS weights, why researchers should use them, and details about how ATUS weighting methods have changed, please refer to the Original P.I. Documentation section of the ICPSR Codebook.
The activity code variables in Part 7 are preceded by the letter "T" and include a six-digit activity classification code. Activity classification codes and examples of activities can be found in the ATUS Coding Lexicon. For more information about the ATUS Coding Lexicon, please refer to the Original P.I. Documentation section of the ICPSR Codebook.
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) was conducted by the United States Census Bureau.
Published tables and charts showing time use estimates for major activity categories, selected detailed activities, selected demographic characteristics and additional information are available via the American Time Use Survey Web site.
Sample: The ATUS sample was drawn from households that had completed their final month of interviews for the Current Population Survey (CPS). Households were selected to ensure that estimates could be made across major demographic groups. One individual from each selected household was chosen to participate in the ATUS, and this person was interviewed only once about his or her time use. Please refer to the Original P.I. Documentation section of the ICPSR Codebook for additional information on sampling.
The data contain weight variables that should be used in analyzing the data. Users need to apply weights when computing estimates with the ATUS data because simple tabulations of unweighted ATUS data produce misleading results. The Respondent and Activity Summary data file in Parts 5 and 7 contain the ATUS final weight TUFINLWGT. No statistical weights have been generated for the Trips data file in part 8. Part 9 contains replicate weights based on the replicate weights developed for the CPS. The CPS replicate weights are based on a modified balanced half-sample method of replication, developed in the 1980s by Robert Fay. For information about the replicate weights, see the publication, Technical Paper 66: Current Population Survey -- Design and Methodology, available via the Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site.. More information on the weight variables used in this study can be found in the Original P.I. Documentation section of the ICPSR Codebook.

Thinknowlogy is grammar-based software, designed to utilize the Natural Laws of Intelligence in grammar, in order to create intelligence through natural language in software. This is demonstrated by programming in natural language, reasoning in natural language and drawing conclusions (more detailed than scientific solutions), making assumptions (with self-adjusting level of uncertainty), asking questions (about gaps in the knowledge), and detecting conflicts in the knowledge. It builds semantics autonomously (with no vocabularies or words lists), detecting some cases of semantic ambiguity. It is multi-grammar, proving that Natural Laws of Intelligence are universal.

A new kind of fuel production has launched in Brazil. Unlike ethanol plants in the country which turn sugarcane to ethanol or traditional oil refining, the new plant produces the equivalent of diesel fuel formed from the waste byproducts of microbes that "eat" and reprocess the sugar. Built by Emeryville, CA-based Amryis Technologies, the plant aims to produce 10,000 gallons a year (approximately 238 barrels).
While biodiesel and biofuels are not exactly a new concept, this is one of the largest test deployments to date of sugar based biodiesel, particularly of a microbial scheme (most biodiesel is formed from plant oils, such as palm oil). The plant aims to produce, with government regulation and carbon taxes, fuel at $60/barrel (approximately $1.43 per gallon). This indicates that their technology may be nearing cost competitiveness with cellulosic ethanol manufacturers -- the best of which, Coskata, claims to be on the verge of $1.00 per gallon ethanol.
Advantages of the cellulosic ethanol include being able to come from waste materials unlike the biodiesel that's formed from sugar crops. However, the biodiesel packs more energy per gallon and the microbes could eventually be genetically engineered to process cellulose as well. It's hard to tell which solution costs less, given that the target costs for the biodiesel are post-subsidy, while Coskata's targets are pre-subsidy.
The plant will go online in 2011 and should looks to sell its high-grade fuel products primarily overseas as Brazil doesn't use much diesel fuel.
One key advantage of the biodiesel is like ethanol it lacks the harmful impurities found in standard oil. The fuel features less sulfur, less carbon monoxide, and fewer nitrogen oxides, particulates, and other emissions, compared with petroleum diesel. States Neil Renninger, founder and chief technical officer of Amyris, "The greenness of the fuel might drive a few people to it, but we need to be cost competitive."
The plant will use existing sugarcane delivery infrastructure. However, it faces tough competition. Sugarcane ethanol production is much more energy efficient than that of its American brethren, corn ethanol. Sugarcane waste is burned and the production consumes less electricity, leading to a net electricity surplus. Corn ethanol, meanwhile consumes more electricity to produce than it generates. Lester Lave, a professor of economics and co-director of the Electricity Industry Center at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, praises sugarcane ethanol, stating, "The net energy invested in sugarcane ethanol is not very high and leads to huge gains relative to the gain from corn."
However, sugarcane is unfortunately limited by geography, as it grows best in tropical regions which are warmer and receive more sunlight. A few states -- Hawaii, Louisiana, and Florida do have conditions conducive to moderate sugarcane yields. A corn-sugarcane hybrid called corncane might be viable across a broader range of states, though, while retaining much of sugarcane's benefits.

Yoga is a mind-body therapy developed in ancient India, which is now practiced by millions of people in the US and other parts of the world. Yoga combines three major components: physical postures, meditation and breathing techniques. Although practicing yoga is not a cure for any specific ailment, it offers women many health benefits. Here is brief outline of the key benefits of yoga classes and the reasons why you should take online yoga classes.

Calexico Yoga Instructors
Improved Physical Fitness
Participating in yoga classes will help you to improve your physical fitness. When you execute yoga poses, you will enhance your balance, increase your range of motion, strengthen all your muscles and bones and develop better flexibility. All of these will reduce the occurrence of injuries.
Reduced Stress Levels
Yoga helps you to reduce and manage stress. With the emphasis on meditation and breathing exercises, your mind naturally becomes calm, anxieties fade away, and your body improves its response to stress. Eventually, your blood pressure reduces and the production of stress hormones drops drastically. Decreasing the overall stress in your body will help you prevent the occurrence of diseases induced by stress.
Disease Management
Practicing yoga regularly can help you to prevent certain diseases and manage the impact of others. For example, yoga has been helpful in preventing insomnia and in managing heart disease and irritable bowel syndrome, which are induced by stress. Reducing stress through yoga will improve your mood and keep depression away.
Glowing Skin
Yoga improves the appearance of your skin. Some of the worst skin conditions such as warts and acne are caused by stress and depression. But yoga deals with both conditions. Yoga's stress relieving power can also help your skin to heal quickly and remain healthy. So if you notice that you are having frequent breakouts, you should start practicing yoga.
Pain Management
Yoga is a great pain reliever. It reduces pains associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, back ache and other chronic forms of pain. Each yoga pose focuses on a specific muscle group. You can use a set of yoga poses to stretch the particular muscles that will help you to eliminate pain. Frequent practice will promote flexibility and this will minimize pain, aid recovery, and prevent future injuries.
Yoga is beneficial to women before, during and after pregnancy. To aid conception, yoga provides hormonal balance, stress release and increased sexual stamina. Yoga makes it easier for women to get pregnant because it improves ovulation. Some studies have revealed that those who practice yoga regularly will multiply their chances of conceiving due to the improved circulation to their reproductive organs.
After a woman gets pregnant, yoga will reduce the discomfort associated with the early and late stages of pregnancy. It relieves the back pain that most pregnant women experience. About six weeks after the baby is born, post-natal yoga will strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor and other abdominal muscles. Women can also use yoga to recover their body shape quickly after pregnancy.
Weight Management
Effective weight management is easier with regular yoga. It enables you to stay fit and keep off all the unwanted pounds. When you execute yoga poses correctly, you will tone your muscles and enhance their flexibility. Your metabolism will also improve, so you can utilize your carbohydrates effectively and reduce the amount of blood sugar that is converted to fat.
Why California Residents are Choosing to Take Online Yoga Classes
To enjoy all the health benefits of yoga classes, you need to participate in regular yoga classes that are led by well trained and experienced yoga instructors. To do this, you have two major options: to become a member at an online studio or to take your classes online. Attending a yoga studio can be quite expensive and you may find it difficult to get to the venue on time for every class. However, with online classes, you don't have to forgo your yoga practice altogether. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for online yoga classes.
Lower Cost
Online training costs a small fraction of the price of face-to-face yoga training. Online classes will also save you the cost of travel and enable you to avoid the cost of leaving your work or your family to attend classes. If you have a child, you may also need to pay additional fees for child care.
Convenient Timing
Online yoga classes give you the flexibility to take your yoga classes at a convenient time that suits your lifestyle. Even with a daily schedule, you can fit in a relatively short session of 15 to 20 minutes. On other days, you can flex, stretch and balance for a longer time. You are also free to choose the most suitable time for your practice.
Access to World-class Yoga Instructors
You can fulfill your dream of taking classes under various world famous yoga teachers. Many yoga teachers now have well organized classes online that enable them to teach hundreds of thousands of students without the restrictions of a physical classroom.
Freedom of Choice
Online classes afford you the opportunity to pick the type of yoga class to you actually want for that day. This type of flexibility and freedom of choice is not available in most yoga studios. If your studio is offering restorative yoga but you actually need a power yoga class after a hectic day at work, you will not be able to do it that day. Your online class gives you the chance to select from various yoga styles and satisfy your need for that day.
Practice at Your Pace
When you take online yoga classes, you can pause at any time and take a rest without missing the rest of the postures. Online classes make yoga more accessible to you. With your mobile device or PC, you can gain instant access to a variety of lessons at any time of day or night. You may also repeat the lessons as many times as desired.
Taking yoga classes will keep you fit and healthy and help you prevent injuries and diseases. To enjoy the numerous advantages of yoga, you should subscribe to online yoga classes which are far more convenient and cheaper than going to a conventional yoga studio.

Like the lottery, maybe he's just playing the ages of his kids.
Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of President Obama's 2010 debt commission, said he expects "a 40% of a 'fiscal cliff' deal before year end. The chances of getting it done are better and that's what's key."
However, Bowles told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday that he still thinks there's a 35% chance of going over the cliff, which would trigger $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases. He said there's a 25% chance of a deal being hashed out just after the New Year.
The network notes that while the president has "drawn a hard red line" on tax rate increases for the top 2% of wage earners, Bowles noted that Obama is showing a willingness to talk about broadening the tax base.
Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, met at the White House on Sunday to talk about ways to avoid the fiscal cliff. Their staffs say the lines of communications remain open, according to CNBC.
There's what the network says is a growing belief among Republicans that they're going to have to give into White House demands for higher tax rates on the wealthy in order to push the ball forward on their agenda to overhaul government entitlement programs.
"I think if [both sides] agree on higher rates in some form, you'll see some of these other dominos fall into place really quickly," Bowles said to CNBC.
Bowles and his co-chairman of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, Alan Simpson, crafted the oft-cited Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan, which fell short of approval from the bipartisan panel back in 2010.
Former Republican Sen. Simpson and Bowles also co-founded the Fix the Debt campaign, which launched this past summer. The group describes itself as a non-partisan movement aimed at putting America on a better fiscal and economic path, according to the network.
