American sci-fi and fantasy author Sherrilyn Kenyon is suing Cassandra Clare for allegedly copying elements of her Dark Hunter series.
Kenyon is seeking a court order in the US stopping Clare from infringing on Dark Hunter copyrights and trademarks, saying Clare’s Shadowhunter series is too similar to her own work. Kenyon's Dark Hunter series was first published in the US in 1998 by St Martin's Press and Piatkus, Little, Brown, in the UK.
The term is also used in the title of a TV adaptation of Clare’s works. "Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments” launched on Netflix last month.
Kenyon is seeking compensatory damages for lost profits.
In the UK, Cassandra Clare is published by both Simon & Schuster Children’s Books and Walker Books. Her next title, Lady Midnight, the first book in The Dark Artifices, a new trilogy that is part of the Shadowhunters series, will be published by Simon & Shuster on 8th March.
The Dark Artifices is a companion series to The Mortal Instruments series, which is published by Walker. The Mortal Instruments has sold more than a million copies in the UK and Clare has reached sales of £6.65m in UK bookshops, according to Nielsen BookScan.
Kenyon has sold 271,457 copies of her books in the UK, giving her value sales of £1.86m. Her biggest selling title is Sins of Night which has sold 12,243 copies for £75,865.

Public lands for the People inc.
Public Lands for the People Inc. (PLP) and I appreciate the opportunity to participate in the rule making process for suction dredge mining in the state of California.
The purpose of our comments is to inform the DFG that in the process of doing their Environmental Impact Study (EIR) to promulgate Suction Dredge Regulations for the State of California, DFG should seriously consider retaining an expert on Mining laws.
In the 1994 the DFG did not consider the ramifications of running afoul to the mining laws, the Constitutional protections, other applicable federal laws or the case law decisions on the rights of miners and mining claimants. If the DFG continues to ignore these laws in this present rule making process there will be serious ramifications in a court of law.
We notice that the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) in several places refer to the suction dredge community as recreational. Where ever the DFG gets such language from will most likely create a great problem down the line for them. There is no such creature, either in state law or federal law which creates a recreational suction dredger, prospector or miner and can only serve to take a miner out from under the protection of the rights granted under the mining law.
Recreation is a privilege in most cases and mining is a property right, a grant of land under the federal mining laws of 1866 and 1872. (30 USC 22 – 54). For the DFG to treat miners, prospectors or mining claim owners, (Mineral Estate Grantees) with the same disrespect as given to the recreational activities will certainly exceed DFG’s regulatory authority.
Also it would appear that DFG believes they have discretion to regulate suction dredge mining to the point of prohibition. Case Law says that they can not prohibit prospecting or mining either temporarily or permanently.
The DFG does not have discretion under CEQA or NEPA or any other state or federal law to prohibit suction dredge mining, temporarily or permanently, mining is not discretionary.
This language does not entertain the rights under the mining law but does offer an opportunity for the DFG to fall in an act of abuse of discretion.
“ Agency discretion presumes that an agency can exercise “judgment” in connection with a particular action. See Citizens to Preserve Overton Park, Inc. v. Volpe, 401 U.S. 402, 415-416, 91 S.Ct. 814, 28 L.Ed.2d 136 (1971); see also Random House Dictionary of the English Language 411 (unabridged ed.1967) (“discretion” defined as “the power or right to decide or act according to one's own judgment; freedom of judgment or choice”). As the mandatory language of § 402(b) itself illustrates, not every action authorized, funded, or carried out by a federal agency is a product of that agency's exercise of discretion.
This history of the regulation also supports the reading to which we defer today. As the dissent itself points out, the proposed version of § 402.03 initially stated that “Section 7 and the requirements of this Part apply to all actions in which there is Federal involvement or control,”48 Fed.Reg. 29999 (1983) (emphasis added); the Secretary of the Interior modified this language to provide (as adopted in the Final Rule now at issue) that the statutory requirements apply to “all actions in which there is discretionary Federal involvement or control,”51 Fed.Reg. 19958 (1986) (emphasis added). The dissent's reading would rob the word “discretionary” of any effect, and substitute the earlier, proposed version of the regulation for the text that was actually adopted.
A miner operating under the Mining Law statute has a non-discretionary agency “advisory” relationship. A miner cannot be legally tortured into a CEQA, NEPA or ESA scenario. The law also, as the Supreme Court ruled, “stays” the application of the ESA “where it would effectively override otherwise mandatory statutory duties” like (for the purposes of this discussion) the Mining Law.
dredging and determined that it was not deleterious to fish, in accordance with following the regulations as adopted. This should be sufficient until a new EIR is completed.
(2) Despite this extensive federal scheme reflecting concern for the local environment as well as development of the nations resources, Ventura demands a right of final approval. Ventura seeks to prohibit further activity by gulf until it secures and Open Space Use Permit which may maybe issued on whatever conditions Ventura determines appropriate, or which may never be issued at all. The federal Government has authorized a specific use of federal lands, and Ventura cannot prohibit that use, either temporarily or permanently, in an attempt to substitute its judgment for that of Congress.
Recreation is a privilege in most cases and mining is a property right, a grant of land under the federal mining laws of 1866 and 1872. (30 USC 22 – 54). For the DFG to treat miners, prospectors or mining claim owners, (Mineral Estate Grantees) with the same disrespect as given to the recreational activities will certainly exceed DFG’s regulatory authority. It would appear that DFG believes they have discretion to regulate suction dredge mining to the point of prohibition. Case Law says that they can not prohibit prospecting or mining either temporarily or permantly.
Federal laws are always preeminent: once Congress passes laws that occupy an area, no government at a lower tier, i.e., at the state or local level, may pass laws that conflict with the federal laws.
Agency actions can often amount to prohibitions that impermissibly encroach upon the right to the use and enjoyment of placer claims for mining purposes (see 30 U.S.C 26). To reinforce this point, in South Dakota Mining Assoc. v. Lawrence County 155 F3d 1005 (8th Cir. 1998), at 1011 the court stated: “…government cannot prohibit a lawful use of the sovereign's land that the superior sovereign itself permits and encourages. To do so offends both the Property Clause and the Supremacy Clause of the federal Constitution. The ordinance is prohibitory, not regulatory, in its fundamental character.” Emphasis added.
so long as the agency regulatory authority over the miner does not become prohibitive. If the miner can work out a reasonable agreement, i.e. contract generally through an “informational”, then all is well. If not, then the miner can complain to the surface management agency through written administrative complaint or the appeal process and assert that the agencies actions are unreasonable, material interfering, prohibitive, and why, pursuant to 30 U.S.C. 612(b) (see also U.S. v. Curtis-Nevada Mines 611 F.2d 1277 at 1285).
“…mining operations take place pursuant to the General Mining Law and the Surface Resources Act, which confers a statutory right upon miners to enter certain public lands for the purpose of mining and prospecting. This distinction is significant, as it differentiates mining operations from "licenses, contracts, leases, easements, rights-of-way, permits, or grants-in-aid," which are permissive in nature.
Within the limits prescribed by the Constitution, Congress undoubtedly has the power to regulate all conduct capable of harming protected species. However, Congress chose to apply section 7(a)(2) to federal relationships with private entities only when the federal agency acts to authorize, fund, or carry out the relevant activity.
. Marbled Murrelet, 83 F.3d. at 1074. Indeed, as the Ninth Circuit stated in Marbled Murrelet: Protection of endangered species would not be enhanced by a rule which would require a federal agency to perform the burdensome procedural tasks mandated by section 7 [of the ESA] simply because it advised or consulted with a private party. Such a rule would be a disincentive for the agency to give such advice or consultation. Moreover, private parties who wanted advice on how to comply with the ESA would be loathe to contact the [agency] for fear *1103 of triggering burdensome bureaucratic procedures. As a result, desirable communication between private entities and federal agencies on how to comply with the ESA would be stifled, and protection of threatened and endangered species would suffer.
Conclusion: The suction dredge miners and prospectors are not to be regulated under the discretion of any agency but only the non-discretionary or ministerial regulatory process.
“(a) Whoever in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortion or attempts or conspires so to do, or commits or threatens physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

For the second week in a row, Tonganoxie High put itself in position to score multiple times against a district opponent. But, just like in their district opener, the Chieftains couldn’t overcome a multitude of untimely errors.
The Chieftains couldn’t capitalize on several trips into Piper territory in a 33-6 loss to the Pirates on Friday at Beatty Field.
After a three-and-out by THS (3-5, 0-2 district), Piper grabbed an early lead on a 39-yard run by Sterling Owens. The Chieftains then reached the red zone on the legs of running back Zac Morgan, but lost a chance to tie the game when PHS (3-5, 1-1) recovered a fumble by Ryan Musick.
Piper later turned the fumble into a two-possession swing, driving 73 yards and scoring on a 4-yard run by JJ Letcher midway through the second quarter. THS prevented any further damage before halftime, but wasn’t able to cut into the 13-0 deficit before the break.
The Chieftain defense, which lost starting linebacker Devan Graham to an injury in the first half, forced a Piper three-and-out to open the second half, but a 54-yard punt by Alex Bach pinned THS at its own 6-yard line.
Troyer’s squad wasn’t able to reach midfield, and Letcher gave Piper a three-score lead with a 47-yard touchdown run with 7:08 left in the third.
Letcher and Owens combined for 285 rushing yards, including four scoring bursts of longer than 30 yards.
territory on its next drive, but the drive stalled on fourth down at the 43.
The Chieftains got on the scoreboard midway through the period when quarterback Jordan Brown found Dalton Trimble in the corner of the end zone from 21 yards away. Trimble battled a defender for the ball all the way to the ground, but came up with it to end the shutout attempt 6:19 left.
Piper ended any thoughts of a THS rally when Owens ripped off a 52-yard touchdown run on the first play of the next possession. Once again, the Chieftains got past the 50 on their next drive, but failed to convert on fourth down. Morgan paced the Chieftain ground game with 70 yards on 19 carries, while Brown was 12-of-17 passing for 79 yards. Trimble was Brown’s favorite target, catching three passes for 46 yards.

I started the morning with my weekly check in with our lead analyst. She had just returned from a hearing on the recently proposed power plant carbon rules by the Obama administration, which many in the environmental community are hailing as the biggest climate action taken by the current administration towards reducing our carbon emissions. In fact, we’ll soon be bringing on staff a two-year Fellow to research the environmental justice and equity components so we can inform the state implementation of the rule. At the check-in meeting we also discussed a fracking research project she will be submitting in collaboration with a colleague in Texas. She updated me on the progress of a climate vulnerability project that we are doing. It involves mapping roughly 15 oil and gas coastal facilities to highlight their risk to sea level rise. We are hoping to use this visually-striking data to mobilize shareholders to demand better and more transparent climate risk reporting by energy companies.
I then moved on to screening candidates for a Research Support Coordinator opening at UCS. This position will help solidify some of the research tools and capabilities we have been building for our in-house analysts and experts. At this stage we have six candidates who were asked to submit videos answering the questions they received from us. I made my recommendations on the top two candidates to the hiring manager.
In Wednesday’s post I shared with you our work on food policy and the information toolkit we have been working on for the past three months. The staff person driving most of the research and writing behind the toolkit was a temporary research associate who is currently pursuing her Masters at the Nutrition School at Tufts University. Today is her last day and several of us took her out for a thank you and goodbye lunch where she amused us by ordering a hamburger, a fair reward for three months of sweat and toll on the healthy food work.
The final order of things before signing off for the week was a planning meeting for our all-staff retreat next April. Six of us, representing different programs and offices at UCS, constitute this committee and this was our second meeting. This retreat is being held after a three-year hiatus. We want to use this opportunity to help build excitement for staff about the organization, to create awareness of the new 5-year Strategic Plan, to help staff gain exposure to new ways of thinking, new ideas, and build skills through trainings. Since our staff is scattered in four different offices, it’s vital to create opportunities for staff interaction and relationship-building across programs and roles. At today’s meeting, we brainstormed the details of a staff survey and focus groups to inform our planning of the retreat as well as floated a few ideas for possible external speakers who would be inspiring for a large and diverse audience.
I hope this blog series has been informative for you. As I wrap it up with this final blog, I want to emphasize that one of things I really like about my job is that no one day looks like another. So although I’ve attempted to give you a flavor of my work life this week, it is far from a typical week for me; the last one was wildly different, and I’ll bet the coming one will bring surprises of its own. The job of the senior analyst and program manager at a relatively new initiative, the Center for Science and Democracy, of a venerated, impactful, and rigorous organization exposes me to new challenges and issues every day. I’m honored to work with smart, passionate, and dedicated individuals who put the mission of the organization before themselves. I hope my posts inspired you to recognize the diversity of tasks and goals you can take on, and to recognize that the rigors of your graduate training will tremendously help you organize, analyze, synthesize, and communicate your work, no matter the specifics of the tasks involved.

With ARC Flash being a major concern for modern operators, and the risk of injury and death being recognized within the electrical industry a need has been generated for realtime monitoring and reporting of electrical variables, especially in medium voltage systems, without direct human interaction.
Currently to obtain live readings from a power system is it necessary to secure the appropriate permits, suit up in ARC Flash PPE and to then use a meter to measure the values, often this is a three man operation with one operator holding the probes, a second taking the reading while a third watches in case of accident.
This is very inefficient and inevitably reduces the frequency of routine and extra ordinary power checks. In an industry where the use of a step-up transformer is quite common and, this data is routinely needed, SUBCOE is addressing this need and especially the need for monitoring of power after transforming it to Medium Voltage levels with our new VAM system.
SUBCOE has built upon the existing proven technology developed for our range of CUBE Motor Controllers to develop a full range monitoring device that is capable of reading three phase voltage, current and frequency in a severely distorted power system.
The monitoring is performed outside of the control system to offer a secondary, watchdog, value that may be used to setup the primary control system. It also adds the normally not present Medium Voltage measurements to the control system.
With all data being processed on a digital systems in the voltage & current relays, all of the measured variable are available through a standard Modbus RTU RS485 communication system.
The voltage shunt is rated for 0 – 5000V and the current coils are 0 – 400A, both are mounted in the output power junction box and connected directly to the output power system.
In cases where a local readout is required then this can be accessed through a CUBE Motor Controller or through a standalone display device, both of which have logging capabilities. The VAM may be temporarily or permanently installed depending upon the needs of the site that is being monitored.

The Māori Party is welcoming the Government’s announcement today that the sale of nicotine e-cigarettes and e-liquid will be made legal.
“The announcement today is a response to the Māori Party’s call for the Government to look beyond traditional quit smoking tools and methods, which actually aren’t working as well as they should be,” said Māori Party co-leader Marama Fox.
“I’m pleased that we’ve been able to get this matter on the Government’s agenda.
“The Māori Party has been leading reforms on tobacco since 2007 when it launched its Tobacco out of Aotearoa campaign in response to the high numbers of Māori people and New Zealanders who die from smoking-related diseases,” says Te Ururoa Flavell, Māori Party co-leader.
“The Māori Party recognises that the Bill is yet to come before the House and that it will provide the opportunity to flesh out discussions about regulations and evidence,” said Ms Fox.

Can you believe that the party is only a few weeks away? Now is the time to start picking up the pace. At this point, you should have a clear idea of how many guests are coming and if there are any allergies to be concerned about so that you can commit to a final menu. If you want to order desserts, this is a good week to do so.
Write up a grocery list for your recipes. Start delegating the food out to anyone who would like to help. Feeding 30 or more people can be pretty overwhelming so don’t stress about needing help. If I know women, especially mothers, they love to help out with a special dish.
Finish purchasing the remaining decorations and party supplies.
Create the prep work for the baby shower games. Some may need things like charts printed out or names written out for baby charades, that sort of thing. File them into a box in separate sandwich bags to make everything organized and accessible.
Order extra tables and chairs if you will need them. As an alternative, start asking people, like the parents of the new mom, to donate a few chairs for the event. They may not be coordinated with the rest of the furniture but no one will mind. If you mind, purchase some chair covers to hide them.
If you are having a cake, order it now. Some stores ask you to wait until the week before but generally you should be able to order it now.

A Wayne State University interdisciplinary research team in the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has made a surprising discovery: older, more mature motorists—who typically are better drivers in many circumstances—are much worse than their younger counterparts when texting while driving. Currently published online and scheduled to be published in print in the January 2015 issue of Accident Analysis and Prevention, the study "The Effects of Texting on Driving Performance in a Driving Simulator: The Influence of Driver Age" explores the relationship between texting, driving performance and age.
Randall Commissaris, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences and Doreen Head, assistant professor of occupational therapy, said the results were surprising because they contradict those of other studies examining the connection between age and distracted driving.
"Generally, people believe that younger drivers are more easily distracted and therefore would be more susceptible to the dangers of texting and driving," said Commissaris. "However, our study—which included drivers ranging in age from 18 to 59—demonstrated just the opposite. Although texting while driving had a negative impact on drivers of all ages, younger drivers were less distracted by texting, and older drivers' performance was much worse because of their texting."
Findings were based on the observation of participants who demonstrated proficiency at texting with one hand, owned smartphones and indicated they were prolific texters. On average, about 50 percent of all subjects had lane excursions—or crossed from one lane to another—while texting. But what shocked Commissaris and Head most was that as the age of drivers increased, so did the percentage of lane excursions. One hundred percent of drivers who were between 45 and 59 years old made lane excursions while texting as compared to about 80 percent of subjects between 35 and 44, almost 40 percent of participants between 25 and 34, and nearly 25 percent of drivers between 18 and 24.
"There is a perception that more-experienced drivers can text and drive more safely because they can manage distractions better than less-experienced drivers," said Head. "Not only are adults sending the wrong message because they are telling young people to do as they say, not as they do, but they are also putting themselves and others in harm's way."
Commissaris and Head plan to examine the impact of age on driving and texting further. They hope to find out why age difference is a factor.
"It is possible that, relative to younger drivers, older drivers spend more of their texting time looking at their cell phones and not at the road; this could increase driving errors in our older drivers," said Commissaris. "Alternatively, it is possible that older drivers do not differ from younger drivers with respect to the time spent looking at their phones, but they are more distracted by texting while driving because they are less able to manage the cognitive demands of multitasking. Of course, it is possible that both of these factors may be contributing to the greater extent of texting-induced impairment of driving observed in older drivers. Future studies monitoring eye glances during texting in older and younger drivers will be useful to test these various hypotheses."
Researchers also found that texting while driving in the simulator affected drivers' attitudes about the dangers of texting and driving. Before the study, all 50 participants agreed that texting and driving was dangerous. After the study, 60 percent believed that texting while driving was even more dangerous than they originally thought it was. The study suggests that providing people with the opportunity to experience the effects of texting while driving firsthand helps raise awareness of the risks associated with texting and driving and may have the potential to reduce this dangerous behavior among drivers of all ages.
"This outcome is significant because it has potential application in places like driver's education," said Head. "We would welcome the opportunity to expose more beginning drivers to this type of hands-on prevention experience to deter them from developing the bad habit of texting while driving."
The research team, which also included Gordon Rumschlag, Theresa Palumbo, Aaron Swift, Amber Martin, and Rajiv George, noted that the study underscores the importance of continuing to educate drivers about the hazards of texting while driving, and the need to develop campaigns directed at adults, a group among which the frequency of texting while driving has increased. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, 47 percent of texting adults said they had sent or read a text message while driving as compared to 34 percent of texting 16-to-17-year-olds who said they had texted while driving.

Our featured author Q&A is written by Susan Lobban from our UK Facebook Page. Here is the second part for December.
9. Which do you prefer kindle or paper books?
If I had to chose, I’d go for paperbacks. But I read from both and equally enjoy the experience.
10. Did you ever consider self publishing? Do you think this a good or bad thing for the future of books.
I started off self-published! Beyond Grace’s Rainbow, was self published in 2012 as an ebook only. It was a bestseller on Amazon, Kobo, iBooks. Scariest and most fun time ever. Thankfully for me, my success got me noticed with an agent and in turn, with my publisher. Harper Collins republished Beyond Grace’s Rainbow and since then I’ve had two further books out with a contract for a further two. So, for me it was the right thing to do. Personally speaking, I think there is room for both.
However, if you do self-publish, do it well. Make sure that your book, the cover, the edits, the story, are as professional and as good as any traditionally published books. If not you’ll get lost in the gazillions of self pubbed books that are out there.
A reader described me as the Queen of Emotional writing and I liked that description. I definitely write from the heart. But I promise that as well as making you reach for the kleenex, I will make you smile and laugh too. My editor says that I have a conversational tone, so my writing connects to readers immediately. I hope you all agree!
I have been compared to Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes, Maeve Binchy by readers. In fact one reader said that if Maeve Binchy and Marian Keyes had a love child, it would be Carmel Harrington. That made me smile and feel very honoured all at the same time.
12. Do you have any new books in the pipeline?
I’m working re-writes for my fourth novel, The Road Back Home, which is a story about the Guinness family, who spend a summer travelling around Europe in a campervan! Each of them, Mum, Dad, teenage daughter and young son, all struggling with life and each other. This trip is forcing them to examine their life together, themselves and ultimately discover if they can find their way back home - together. This will be out in trade paperback in Ireland on 30th June 2015.
13. Where is the best place for readers to find out more about you?
14. Surprise us with something we don't know about you?
I once partied on a private jet owned by U2. And not that I’m name dropping, but the lads might have been there at the time. Oh, the joys of a misspent youth!
15. and very importantly..... which do you prefer tea or coffee?
Ah here, what an impossible question to answer. I drink both, by the gallon!
Gun to head …. I’d probably pick …. I can’t do it, I can’t answer!

Bathroom Designs – Are you thinking of making a change to your bathroom? If you plan to remodel your bathroom, you may need some help. Instead of merely replacing cabinets or bathroom fixtures with upgraded models, you may want to consider consulting with a bathroom designer.
A bathroom designer can tell you about the best selling trends in bathrooms, and he or she can also look at your floor plan to determine if it’s really functional, or if there is a way to make the bathroom appear larger by reconfiguring the space. Fortunately, you can get a lot of help online. In fact, it’s possible to find free online bathroom design.
Your free online bathroom designs can incorporate a lot of changes to your bathroom. Some suggestions might be to relocate some of the major items – bathtub, shower, sink, or commode. Other ideas might include changing out bathroom cabinetry, light fixtures, or replacing tile or flooring elements.
Bathroom designs can really change the look of your bathroom. You may find that new cabinets also increase your overall storage space. A free online bathroom designs might include placing wall cabinets above the commode for additional space, or simplifying the vanity cabinet to create more floor space. Imagine how much space you would get if you replaced a double basin sink with a single sink in a large cabinet – you’d still have great storage space, but more open floor space in the bathroom.
* Transparent shower walls or glass shower doors extend the view in your bathroom, making the space seem more open and bright.
* If you are trying to save space, consider a pedestal sink or wall mounted sinks. You’ll lose some under the cabinet storage, but you’ll gain a simple, uncluttered look.
* Recessed cabinets into your wall space to add storage. When you recess the cabinets you create more space, but the smooth wall design makes the room feel elegant and simple.
* Think about other light sources. Consider using skylights or changing window placement to open the bathroom to more natural light.
* Vertical lines make the space look bigger. Think about tiling the walls or shower stalls. The grout line of the tile will create that natural optical illusion of more space. This is especially effective when matched to the tile on the floor of the bathroom designs or shower space.

John McCoy / Staff Photographer Kobe Bryant is swarmed by the media during the team’s media day Saturday in El Segundo.
Kobe Bryant walked gingerly across the Lakers’ practice floor, a sign he’s both progressing surrounding his surgically repaired left Achilles tendon and eager for the 2013-14 season to start.
It’s also a sign that, despite a skeptical general public, Bryant remains optimistic about the Lakers’ championship prospects.
Of course, that goal hinges on Bryant. But whether he will play in the Lakers’ season opener Oct. 29 against the Clippers or practice in training camp remains anybody’s guess. Bryant has recently run at 80 percent of his body weight on a weight-bearing treadmill and completed ladder exercises to improve his footwork without sprinting. He then will advance to defensive and conditioning drills before fully practicing.
The Lakers have other health concerns.
Lakers guard Steve Nash has fully progressed from his right hamstring, back and broken left leg that sidelined him for a combined 32 games last season. But Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni plans to limit Nash both in training camp and in games. Lakers forward Pau Gasol reported progress with his knees after having a procedure this offseason to decrease the tendon pain in his knees. But Gasol admits he’s not fully healed and hasn’t completed many basketball drills yet.
Bryant suffered the injury April 12, shattering any optimism on the Lakers’ already slim playoff hopes. Their success will ride once again on when Bryant returns and if he can mirror last season’s output when he averaged 27.3 points on 46.3 percent shooting, six assists and 5.6 rebounds.
Nonetheless, Bryant seemed aggressive with his recovery.
He had surgery on his Achilles the day after his injury. The Lakers’ training staff traveled with Bryant on trips to China, Italy and Brazil. Bryant also routinely visited the team’s facility for treatment.
Still, Bryant’s 40-foot high dive that was later posted on Vine made the Lakers cringe.
Bryant displayed that personality until someone brought up Dwight Howard’s departure to the Houston Rockets.
Instead, Bryant raved about the team’s athleticism, the versatility Chris Kaman and Gasol have in the post and having a full training camp under D’Antoni.
Bryant still shared the need for Nick Young and Wesley Johnson to improve defensively and to play at a methodical pace. Despite all the uncertainty surrounding his injury and the team’s dynamics, the 35-year-old Bryant enters the final year of his contract with high hopes.

A short stitchy story. You know how it goes. September comes around, the kids go back to school, you twiddle your thumbs for a couple of days, wondering what to do next, because clearly you do not have enough going on in your life. Then, ah ha! You have that lightbulb moment, sitting in the last of the summer sunshine, when you think, ‘well, it’s nearly Christmas, I had better crack on with some present making’. All in the name of actually avoiding knuckling down to some real, live, paid work, so your family doesn’t starve. Hurrah. Present Making it is.
Next thing you know, you have persuaded your ex-husband to cut down his entire crop of lavender, although the scary man-tool strimmer was waved a little too close to your head for your liking, but hey presto, you have a tonne and a half of lavender to process before the sun leaves for another 8 months.
So you sit there weeping a little, feeling like what-was-her name when Rumplestiltskin said she had to spin an entire attic of straw into gold. Too big a task for one wee, mad girl. Never mind hey, because that is what Facebook is for – to send out a call for help. Which you do, and before long your garden is filled with lots of fab, mad girlies who spend an entire morning destalking your lavender and gossiping. Your ears nearly fall off their talk is so scandalous.
Well, this isn’t very stitchy yet, sorry. O.K, so lavender is deliciously procured, and made into lavender bags for Christmas, thus saving you a small fortune, funds instantly diverted into a better cause, namely books, chocolate and fun days out. “And your 15 year old will be delighted with his lavender bag” a friend wryly points out. For shame. Don’t be telling me the truth now, lady.
Alright, spurred on by the success of the lavender mission, you will naturally feel that your stitching talent is boundless and that you really are rather foxy when it comes to needles and thread. Oh you foolish girl. Around the same time you will be mercilessly talked into making a rather wonderful pouch for a special carving, and being a textile goddess you will enthusiastically agree. Oh my god. Did Martha teach you nothing in your sewing classes 3 years ago? Did she really tell you that a tape measure is a complete waste of time, that pins are for wimps? I don’t think so, she would have you horsewhipped for the short cuts you figure you can take.
Even so, you forge on, and as well as the pouch, you attempt to make a quilted hot water bottle cover, all nice and witchy, and magical. Because you can. But maybe, you actually can’t, and by day 5 you are rifling through the bathroom cabinet for diazepam to take away some of your self inflicted pain. I promised you honesty my friends, one blog back – well here it is. This is me, praying, no begging my Husquarvana to have mercy on me. It is pitiful, no?
We live in a little corner of Stroud called Trinity. It is also known as the Museli belt, on account of the high proportion of hippies, artists, musicians, allotment diggers and dreamers that dwell here. It’s a fab little corner, on the north east side of the town, up a hill, bordering the edge of countryside known as the Heavens. And in what feels like the middle of Trinity, is party central – our Local. Otherwise called the Septic (although those shady days are long gone) or the Hat and Stick.
It’s run by the mad Mr. Rodda Thomas, and is right on the corner of our very sweet park on a hill, called the Daisy Bank, where the children play all summer long, and where we all congregate when the snow comes. This pub is the nerve centre of all that happens and is talked about here in our corner of Stroud; if its out there going on, then it is up for discussion at our Local.
How could you not love a pub with leopard skin walls and a faded photo of Elvis to greet you as you arrive? I love it’s huge wooden kitchen table, always with fresh flowers and a lit candelabra, where we gather to put the world to rights. I love its funny corner with the piano and horns on the wall. It has a blokey corner where big matches play out and are cried and yelled over. It has a corner where the knitters gather and clickety clack with busy needles.
There is music, dancing, local ales and a Country Fair where we all get a little crazy over our misshapen vegetables and allotment offerings. Not to mention the baking….and the sloe gin category that is the source of more than a little conspiracy. Lights twinkle, the bass is cranked up, the vintage crockery is dusted down, and it is all very local, very lovely.
Festivites are still going strong in October with a mean ‘Pickle Off’ – not for the faint hearted, this is chutney gone haywire my friends. Then there is Halloween when sugar hyped kids bash a pinata to death, hanging from the pub ceiling; all watched over by the king of Horns Road, Rodda the Insane.
Yeah, it’s a good place to be, our little local, even though I may not get up there as often as I could, despite it being only a 3 minute walk away. But I do think it’s pretty cool, with its baskets of strawberries growing over the front door, a place that takes on local kids (one of our daughters included) and its sure sense of who it is – a place of community, where our lives play out…local is as local does.

UCEED is a design aptitude test. Aptitude tests assume that individuals have inherent strengths and weaknesses, and are naturally inclined toward success or failure in certain areas based on their inherent characteristics. Except for the syllabi section ‘Environmental and social awareness’ which will test your general awareness in the topics outlined under it, the remaining five sections will test your aptitude. Consequently there are no text or reference books that we can recommend.
4. I passed my XII standard in 2014 (or earlier). Can you make an exemption for me?
Design is an interdisciplinary activity. Holistic design considers the sciences, arts, technology, economics, media, policy, society and culture. Successful designers have backgrounds in the arts, sciences and the humanities. We believe the B. Des. aspirants at IDC, IIT Bombay can come from any background and learn to become good designers through our well-rounded curriculum.
While drawing skills can demonstrate a person’s visualization skills, there are equally effective or better ways to test such skills through objective measures. Besides, we recognise that many students may not have had drawing skills training in their 10+2 schooling, and therefore UCEED will not put them at a disadvantage.
Conducting a national level exam is a massive exercise. The UCEED 2016 Committee carefully considered all logistical and operational factors, including information based on UCEED 2015 applicants, before deciding on the 14 cities where UCEED 2016 will be held. In addition to the 9 cities where UCEED 2015 was held, 5 new cities have been added for UCEED 2016. For further details .
8. I appeared for UCEED 2015 but did not qualify. Can I appear for UCEED 2016?
Yes you can, provided you meet the age and year of passing qualification certificate criteria as mentioned here. However do note that a candidate can attempt UCEED for a maximum of two times only and that too in consecutive years, and that the UCEED score is valid only for admissions in the corresponding academic year.
Send an email to uceed@iitb.ac.in with details related to your application (registration number, candidate name, and mobile phone number) and describing clearly the nature of the mistake. Where possible we will rectify the mistake, or advise you on what to do next. However do note that it will entirely be the responsibility of the candidate to provide the correct information regarding the category, the qualifying examination (XII Class or equivalent), and the date of birth and category during the application process. IIT Bombay has the right to cancel, at any stage, the admission of a candidate in accordance with the rules and regulations in force, if it is found that any information provided by the candidate is not true.
All candidates should upload a photo ID. The photo ID can either be a scanned copy of the hall ticket/admit card of the BOARD EXAM for those who appeared in 2015 or, for those who do not possess the hall ticket/admit card of the board exam, and for those who will be appearing in 2016, a scanned copy of the certificate from the school/college principal in the given format (Annexure 1) should be uploaded (only PDF formats with file extension .pdf will be accepted).
The address, email and phone number to be filled in Annexure 1 are that of the school/college. After you have scanned and uploaded the PDF of Annexure 1, keep the form safe. The same form is to be produced in original as the photo ID, along with the Admit Card at the examination centre on examination day.
14. Can you give me more information about admission to B.Des programme in IIT Guwahati?
(i) Only those candidates who pass Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as subjects and, qualify in UCEED, shall be eligible for admission to B. Des programme of the Institute.
(iii) Students so admitted shall also not be eligible for MINOR courses as per current mechanism of the Institute for allotment of minor discipline.

So my first thing from the past, is one of our Family nights. I would like to say we do these every week, but I would be lying. I try to do something at least once a month, scheduling just becomes impossible sometimes.
This particular Family night was a Disney movie one! We picked Dumbo, as my oldest LOVES elephants, and I ran with the theme. We had a circus themed meal, I put up some decorations, and we watched the movie! We were even lucky enough to have my two nephews over, which made it extra special for my boys!
We started out the day with a special Disney Ticket which I designed and then cut out with my wonderful Silhouette machine. You can see it to the left, being modeled up-side down by my enthusiastic 5 year-old who we will call "Little Prince". Each child also received tickets to redeem for various food items.
As soon as the various tickets were distributed the kids were led into the kitchen where they were able to trade in their tickets. We had rootbeer floats, cotton candy, soft pretzels, popcorn, animal crackers, veggie hotdogs (and regular ones for the meat eaters), and lollipops. The kids were thrilled! And I must say it looked quite cute! We had a circus bed tent we had purchased a few years ago from Ikea that I hung to accent the table. It was charming, and all four boys thought it was super cool! My husband sadly failed to get a full shot with it. :( Next time, right?
We watched the movie and pigged out on the spread! It was a ton of fun! We also colored some Dumbo coloring pages, and jumped through some hula hoops for some more fun! My oldest Nephew asked if we could do it every time he comes over! He sure enjoys the fun activities we come up with at our house! Wish we could do it more often! We have a goal to watch every Disney movie ever with our kids before we go to Disney World next September, so hopefully we will have more of these theme nights in the future!
This is such a cute idea! It makes me excited for when Liam is a little older.
It was way fun! We have done a few of these, and I hope to start doing more once Dominic is moved to day shift and we actually have a few nights a week together. The boys have loved the ones we've done.
