When we show the b-bug prototype our sign says "powered by rain". This tongue-in-cheek claim is intended to generate intrigue, and although we have had some punters who think we have invented a water-powered vehicle, what we're actually talking about is hydro-electricity, and in particular locally generated "micro hydro".
Electric cars have their naysayers whose motives may be questionable but whose arguments are valid. It is true that today's electric cars are powered by an electricity generation system that is largely dependent on burning fossil fuel. So, the argument goes, electric cars are just as bad as normal cars in terms of fossil fuel depletion (if you're worried about peak oil) and/or in terms of carbon emissions (if you're worried about climate change). That isn't quite true, because electric cars use energy much more efficiently per passenger kilometre – particularly in towns – and a growing proportion of our electricity supply does come from renewable sources such as hydro-electricity.
We buy our electricity from Good Energy, who get all their power from renewable resources. That doesn't, of course, mean that when there is no wind, water or sun that our power goes off – our electricity is subject to the same grid mix as everyone else – but it does mean that our slightly higher electricity bill is in a small way encouraging investment in renewable generation. And it means that we can claim that our electric vehicles – we have a couple of electric bikes, too – are not depleting fossil fuel reserves or adding to overall carbon emissions.
The reality is that there are currently so few electric cars in the UK that all of them could be quite comfortably powered from current renewable capacity. Since they are in the main battery operated, this could even be more literally true than it is today: electric cars could, with a "smart grid", only take electricity when enough is being renewably produced and even (it is sometimes proposed) be prepared to put it back at other times. In this interesting future scenario – apparently being taken seriously in Israel – a critical mass of electric cars using their batteries to store energy for their own use and as a general buffer for other users against the inconsistency of renewable energy supply.
This particular debate is made more interesting for us in our capacity as directors of Talybont Energy, a community company that owns and operates a 33kW turbine above the village of Talybont-on-Usk in the Brecon Beacons. 33kW – which is its winter output – provides enough electricity for 60 to 70 average homes, or to keep over 150 B-Bugs on the road, assuming that each of them uses about 5kWh to travel 30 miles every day.
This opens up a new USP ("unique selling proposition") for the Brecon Beacons as a tourist attraction. Our visitors come here to enjoy local products – fresh air, scenery, active leisure attractions and pursuits, locally grown food and locally brewed beer. And now we can add to that locally produced energy. We have been trying, with mixed success, to promote the idea of our locally produced energy as having a distinct feel to it that is unavailable anywhere else. If we were French, we would insist on the government branding and protecting Brecon Beacons Electricity to prevent rival (or worse still, "foreign") producers pretending to offer anything equivalent. More seriously, we think that as more people become "environmentally sensitised", this is the kind of thing that will start to matter to the more discerning visitor. Already, there is a "market" for so-called eco-destinations where the holiday maker can be assured that the environmental impact of their vacation is minimised.
The Brecon Beacons has large hydro-electric potential which The Green Valleys organisation is working hard to realise. And while we need to be realistic about how much hydro-electric energy we can extract from this wet upland area, it's worth considering how far hydro-electricity could go to meeting the transport requirements of the people living in, working in, or visiting the area.
Upland areas are better for hydro because (a) there is more rain and (b) once it hits the ground it has further to fall to the sea. The upper limit on the hydro-electric energy available from a given land area is a function of the average rainfall multiplied by the average altitude. For the UK as a whole, the potential energy from rainfall is about 7kWh per day per person, but practically speaking, the most we could ever extract (and even then with dire environmental consequences like dams and constricted river flows) is about 1.5kWh per person per day over the whole of the UK.
But even during the visitor season, the Brecon Beacons is much more sparsely populated than the UK as a whole, and has more than its fair share of rainfall and altitude. Professor David MacKay calculates that for upland areas like ours the raw potential energy of rainfall amounts to about .24 Watts per square metre of catchment area. This means the 1344 square kilometres of Brecon Beacons National Park offers a massive 322 MegaWatt of potential power, although extracting more than a tiny fraction of that would be very costly and environmentally destructive.
To see how small a fraction, the hydro potential of the 32 square kilometre Talybont Turbine catchment area is 7.5 MegaWatts but the turbine captures less than half of one percent (33kW – 0.43%) of that, even with the benefit of a large dam. So in effect, we're capturing about 1kW per square kilometre of the hydro potential. [That's still 4 times as much per unit of area as the 3 Gorges Dam in China, the largest hydroelectric generator in the world, which produce 22.5 Gigawatts of electricity from a catchment of 1 million square kilometres, at an environmental cost which has yet to be realised].
If we could convert the hydro-electric potential of the entire Brecon Beacons National Park at, say, twice the efficiency of the Talybont Turbine then the 1344 square kilometres of park could, at 2kW per square kilometre, generate 2.6 MegaWatts. This is enough for about 5000 average UK homes. Professor MacKay estimates UK energy consumption for car transport at around 40kWh per person per day, so that 2.6 MW could instead meet the transport needs of 1600 people, or 5% of the resident 32000 population of the park.
With lighter, slower and more efficient electric vehicles like the b-bug, travelling an average of 30 miles a day (11,000 miles a year) at an energy cost of 5kWh per day, 2.6MW can supply the transport needs of 13,000 people. That's about 40% of the population of the National park, which is a more impressive result, but still well short of a comprehensive solution.
The one thing we can be sure about is that hydro-electricity alone can never make the Brecon Beacons National Park, let alone the UK, carbon neutral in either domestic electricity or transport. But used in the right way, and more sensibly, hydro can make a significant difference in areas like the Brecon Beacons National Park, even though its national impact is always likely to be marginal.

For President
On Thursday i was in Turin and visited For President at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. The timely, informative and a tad star-struck exhibition examines the American election campaigns, its calculated emotional moments, theatrical strategies and incestuous relationship with media. Part of the show is also looking at the interest Italy (and with it, the rest of Europe) is having for the American event, from a very brief article on page 3 of a daily newspaper in 1868 to the current front pages.
Starting from John Fitzgeral Kennedy, the first president to have reached the rest of the world through television, For President retraces the history of the different election campaigns, all having relied on photojournalism, contemporary art and the widespread production of paraphernalia and advertising for the various candidates.
In the spaces of the Fondazione, the artists who were influenced by their own research on the elections mix their work with the iconic images of the agency Magnum.
The first presidential debate between candidates from opposing political parties as well as the first one to be televised took place in 1960 between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon. The event is now more famous for the TV appeal of the candidates than for the content of the debate. It has often been written that people listening to the discussion on the radio were convinced that Nixon had emerged victorious from the debate. Television audiences, however, thought Kennedy had decidedly won the debate. Nixon was recovering from a knee injury and from a demanding tour of every single State of the US, he had refused to wear makeup and appeared unhealthy and stiff. Kennedy, on the other hand, was tanned and looked directly at the camera with confidence. JFK's suit was dark and contrasted well against the background. Nixon's grey suit almost blended in with the background.
Polls later revealed that more than half of all voters had been influenced by the Great Debates, while 6% claimed that the debates alone had decided their choice. Most importantly, the four Kennedy-Nixon debates also heralded a new era in which media exposure became a key part of a successful political campaign and in which television played an important role in the democratic process.
Fast forward to 1984 and artists are satirizing the circus of politics on tv. Produced to coincide with the "Ronald Reagan vs Walter Mondale" Presidential Campaign, Perfect Leader is a virulent parody of media politics. A computer program is creating candidate archetypes -- dictator, evangelist, moderate -- before it blends them together to create the ultimate mass-marketed leader.
The Democrazy video installation screens two political ads for a fictional presidential campaign. The two candidates are Patricia Hill (played by Sharon Stone) and Patrick Hill (played by French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy). The ads were produced in collaboration with political experts, Sharon Stone's ad was supervised by one of George W. Bush's media advisors in 2004, and Levy's by a member of Bill Clinton's creative team in 1996.
The political ads feature every political cliché in the book. Every move and expression is studied. Both candidates talk about peace, international politics and future of the country. They kiss children, smile broadly, wear impeccable haircuts and it is almost impossible to make out any differences in their programs.
The short videos demonstrate that the rules of election campaigns are increasingly similar to the ones governing the world of entertainment and show business. The obvious examples being Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. A situation which strikes a chord in Italy where media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi might even come back for another round as a Prime Minister.
The film also demonstrates that the political discourse is no longer anchored in argumentation, logic, nor even in content but in the image filtered through the media. And in particular on television, the main arena of political confrontation.
Most of the works in the entrance hall featured the president Europeans like so much: Barack Obama. There were large-scale portraits, images from the current campaign as well as a photo series -by Ramak Fazel- that showed another aspect of the few hours that preceded the inauguration of Obama on January 20, 2009. Surprised by a storm while waiting for the appearance of the President, people had to take refuge in the Smithsonian Freer Gallery where they quickly lost interest for the art works and used the museum to rest and shelter against the elements.
Most of the works shown at the Fondazione were image shot by photographers working for Magnum. The most moving series was Paul Fusco's Funeral Train.
In 1968, Fusco accompanied the funeral procession that transported the body of Robert Kennedy from New York City to its final resting place in Washington. Traveling by train, the coffin was elevated so that the public could see it through the large windows of the carriage. However, Fusco photographed the mourners who were waiting and standing silently by the track to pay their respects.
And in no particular order (well, except the first one because Carter has always been my favourite.)
For President was curated by Francesco Bonami and Mario Calabresi. The former is an international art critic, curator and the current artistic director of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (where he does a fantastic job.) The latter is the director of the Turin-based newspaper La Stampa. A large room at the Fondazione was dedicated to the space that La Stampa has allocated to the presidential elections since it was founded (under the name La Gazzetta Piemontese) in 1866.
The first mention of the US elections was a short article on page 3 of the Italian newspaper to announce the election of Grant as president of the U.S.A. At the time, Italian newspapers were more interested in what what happened in France, Prussia, London or in the Ottoman Empire.
Throughout the 19th century, news from the other side of the Atlantic came by telegraph through the submarine cable that ran across the Ocean. The first time an election received a whole issue was in 1928, with the victory of Herbert Hoover. Under Fascism the gap between Italy and the Atlantic widened again, to the point that in 1936 the re-election of Roosevelt was confined to page 8.
The first front page for the US election came with the election of Eisenhower. Photo, maps and charts, however, only appeared in 1960 when John F. Kennedy conquered the White House. Since then Italians have been never ceased follow with passion the American elections.
A few shots from the show:
For President, an exhibition curated by Mario Calabresi and Francesco Bonami, remains open at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin until 6 January 2013.

DACULA - Firefighters found the body of a 55-year-old woman Friday in a swank Dacula home that suffered minor smoke damage.Investigators said Pamela Chance was found dead somewhere inside a two-story, brick home in the tony Brookside subdivision. A male family member came home and found the house filled with smoke Friday afternoon, an official said. He called 911 about 4 p.m. The fire was small enough to put itself out, said Capt. Thomas Rutledge, Gwinnett County Fire Department spokesman. "Right now, we're investigating all angles," Rutledge said. "There was not a lot of fire damage inside the home." Rutledge said medical personnel were dispatched to the same home Thursday. Privacy laws prohibited Rutledge from discussing the nature of that call, he said. Medical Examiner Ted Bailey said the woman's cause of death was undetermined Friday night. He'll perform an autopsy today. Bailey couldn't say whether the death appeared suspicious or not late Friday. The spacious 3403 Mill Grove Terrace home showed little signs of disturbance Friday evening, aside from several open windows. But the smell of charred wood permeated the sprawling neighborhood, where small crowds gathered to mull the incident. A red Acura sat in the home's driveway behind police tape. "It's totally shocking," said Wyman Warnock, a neighbor who recently uprooted from Snellville to Brookside, an enclave located off Hamilton Mill Parkway. The subdivision is home to about 2,200 residents, he said. "You think this is the safest place you can live in Gwinnett County," Warnoc said. Rutledge wouldn't disclose where the body was found in the home or where the fire could have started. The cause of the blaze was under investigation late Friday. Rutledge was unsure who else lived in the home with Chance. He said no one else was home at the time of the fire, and no other injuries were reported. Fifteen-year-old Cameron Cowgill lives around the corner from Chance's home. Cowgill witnessed a distraught teen running from the home as he was driven home from school, he said. "It's really sad," said Mason Jones, 14, another Brookside resident gathered at the scene. "I do like that the ambulances and fire trucks got here real fast."

I've heard this story. Denial of care in that situation would have been against Illinois state law. So why didn't Ms. Stanek call the cops?
By the way, does anyone know: is she still going around claiming that Asians eat human fetuses?
FATHER JOE: Take a peek a the posted YouTube video under SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Peace!

Madalen does raise a good point and that's a good question.
Why didn't she call the cops?
What was going on was criminal and sinful and yet she did nothing to try to stop it. Most people in her shoes usually get fired first then tell their stories.

That's a shame. The people who are put in government are suppose to be there to serve us and not to kill us.
In his ignorance he obviously overlooked the natural law which dictates that murder is very wrong. They will all have to render an account to God.
Thank you for sharing your story.

Jill Stanek, thank you for responding to my questions.
You said: "The baby I received was too young to resuscitate."
Huh? Resuscitation restores breath and heartbeat in a person who has just lost these functions. There's simply no need to resuscitate an infant that is still alive and breathing — and in this particular case, alive and breathing for nearly an hour, by your report.
What was needed was a transfer to neonatal intensive care. Calling the authorities — or threatening to do so — could have accomplished this.
You didn't do that, and I wanted to know why. I already know that you don't have to "resuscitate" a living, breathing baby, so that can't have been the reason.
You continued: "I notified the IL Attorney General, who investigated and said Christ Hospital was breaking no law, hence the need to introduce the IL Born Alive Infants Protection Act in 2001."
Well, I suppose that's one way to put it. But let's be accurate. State Attorney General Jim Ryan based his conclusion on the grounds that there was no evidence for your claims — and ~not~ on the grounds that existing laws wouldn't have applied .
Here's the thing: after reviewing hospital logs, medical records, personnel files, and staff interviews, the State Attorney General's office could find nothing to substantiate your claim that such an event had occurred.
Please note: Ryan did NOT conclude that actions of the nature that you alleged would have been lawful; if he had, then obviously there would have been no legal grounds for his launching the investigation in the first place.
FATHER JOE: Huh?
on February 15, 2009 at 7:22 pm Lady Godless
Father Joe, if the Attorney General had been of the opinion that the alleged acts would ~not~ have conflicted with Illinois state law, then no: there would have been nothing for him to investigate.
Because they don't investigate people who are suspected of following the law.
FATHER JOE: I would hate to suggest that my view of human nature might be more negative than yours, but personal and professional integrity in both politics and law enforcement is sometimes not what it should be. I would not make the presumptions that you do.

I guess Ms. Stanek has left the building.

High + Low: The Leopard Clutch
I've been trying to introduce a little more animal print into my wardrobe, but the idea of wearing a printed top or dress has me feeling skittish at times. It's a lot of (very bold) print! A thin leopard belt is pretty much my extent of walking on the wild side. Taking a look into accessories, I found a great compromise; the leopard print clutch. It can add so much to a simple outfit. So the search began for the perfect, affordable clutch. I love this Invitation Clutch from J.Crew, but at $448, it's far too expensive. The total of my five low finds is under $400, which sounds a lot better!
Invitation clutch in printed calf hair $448 - J.Crew | Large foldover leather clutch $75 – Etsy | Leopard calf hair clutch $89 – Etsy | Leopard flat clutch $165 – Clare Vivier
(Also, some cute and very inexpensive faux Etsy finds for $22 and $45.)
Remember, if there are any highs you'd like some alternative lows for, just leave a comment and it may be a future High + Low post!

according to sony usa site the nex 6 does have a touch screen ""The NEX-6 features a perfectly designed control dial, Fn (function) button, and touch screen with touch shutter function lets you focus on the shot instead of the menus."" and again ""Mode control dial and Quick Navi assure quick and intuitive operation comparable to DSLR cameras Control dial, Fn (function) button and touch screen (including touch shutter function) combine to greatly facilitate operation and speed getting the shot.""
So it looks DPR have it wrong or at least their preproduction model had incompelte firmware.
amblepath: I think that picture of the whole stable of 4/3 lenses with the Om-D made the nex system seem pretty sparce. This announcement is I think a 'don't jump ship they are coming' type of announcement.
the m43 lens look comprehensive but alot of them are just updates to previous. And duplicates across brands. how many 14-42 lens does anyone need?. There are really only 3 gaps with NEX compared with m43 - a super wide zoom eg 12-24, a long tele zoom eg 100-300 and a G lens to compare against the new oly 12-50. All of these seem to be on the new roadmap.
the button with 2 dials that change function on button press harks back to the Dynax 7xi film camera from Minolta from the early 90's which used this approach. worked well then - promises to work well now. Cant wait to see a Nex 7 in store.

St. Lucie clerk trying to unplug bottleneck in foreclosure proceedings
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Like a pig moving through the body of a python, a glut of scheduled auctions of homes in foreclosure pushed the county's foreclosure rate to the top of the nation in the third quarter of the year.
With one in every 63 housing units under a foreclosure cloud of some sort — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions, commonly called REOs — the county had the highest rate in the nation in August and for the third quarter for the first time since October 2012, when the rate was one in every 80 housing units, according to RealtyTrac.
With the county clerk's office receiving fewer than half the number of default notices in the third quarter than the first quarter, default notices are down more than 34 percent through the first three quarters of this year compared with last year.
The main reason filings of new foreclosure cases declined sharply in the third quarter was a new state law that took effect July 1 that requires plaintiffs to have the necessary documents at the time of filing to prove a foreclosure case against a homeowner, Clerk of the Court Joseph E. Smith said.
The decline in new foreclosure cases is a statewide trend, said RealtyTrac Vice President Daren Blomquist. In year-over-year comparisons, default notices have declined for seven consecutive months after increases in 14 of the previous 16 months.
At the other end of the foreclosure process, bank repossessions in the third quarter were up 28.5 percent in the county over the same period of 2012, but the biggest increase in foreclosure activity was in the middle of the foreclosure pipeline — scheduled auctions.
The clerk's office reported during the third quarter, judges scheduled 1,528 auctions of properties in foreclosure. That's up 43.9 percent from the previous quarter and 60.8 percent from the same period of 2012.
The increase is the result of efforts to streamline the process in his office, Smith said, such as scheduling auctions online instead of on the courthouse steps and printing documents only on demand.
Over the past two months, those efforts have reduced the backlog of foreclosure cases in the county by more than 2,000 to 5,110, Smith said.

Eggplant Pizza
- 1 large eggplant (1 1/4 pound)
- About 3 tablespoons olive oil
For dough
- 1 (1/4-ounce) package fast-acting yeast
- 2/3 cup warm water (110-115°F.)
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ounces grated mozzarella (3/4 cup)
- 3/4 ounces grated Asiago or Parmesan (1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
PreparationBroil eggplant:
Cut eggplant into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and arrange in 1 layer on a foil-lined large baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides with oil and season with salt. Broil 2 to 3 inches from heat until golden brown and tender, 3 to 8 minutes on each side.
Make dough:
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Blend flour and salt in a food processor. Add oil and blend. With motor running, add yeast mixture all at once, blending until dough forms a ball. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface 5 minutes. Put in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. While dough is rising, put a pizza stone on lowest rack of oven (remove other racks) and preheat oven to 500°F.
Dust dough with flour on a floured surface, then shape and stretch into a 12- to 13-inch round. Sprinkle a baker's peel generously with flour and carefully transfer dough to it. Jerk peel; if dough sticks, lift it and sprinkle flour underneath.
Assemble pizza:
Toss together cheeses and sprinkle 1/4 over dough. Cover with eggplant, overlapping it, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Heat oil in a small skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic and red pepper, stirring, until just fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Spoon evenly over eggplant.
Line up far edge of peel with far edge of stone and tilt peel, jerking it gently. When edge of pizza touches stone, quickly pull back peel to transfer to stone (do not move pizza) and bake until dough is crisp and browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Slide peel under pizza to remove from oven.

Native Error-7372
Hi there,
I have a Problem while Connecting via https to a Webservice.
Sometimes our customer faces a java native error-7372 in an IOException when he tries to reach the service. In our testsetup, we are using no https just http. We can not reproduce this error.
Has anyone ever made such experiences?
I could not find anything about this native error-7372 by google or in these boards.
Thanks for your help.
It sounds like a certificate error.
Not sure if you found these links:
You might want to check that the CA on the server is supported on the
device. Usually Versign is the only CA that is across most devices.
Also you need to make sure that your webserver is serving the expected
certificate, and not a different one that your appserver. I've seen in the
past where Apache will unpackage a SSL request and response and repack
it using it's own cert, doing a type of "man-in-the-middle" attack.
From the posts about this error on the net it is not exclusive to one device.
I am seeing it on Nokia and SonyEricsson, which may point to a Symbian thing.
(since the error says Native, leads me to think it's something outside of java) :)

13 November 2007
The Royal College of Surgeons of England joined a new coalition launched today to call on the Government to do more to prevent the rise in alcohol-related diseases. The Alcohol Health Alliance UK is a ground-breaking coalition of 22 organisations whose mission is to reduce the damage caused to health caused by alcohol misuse and who will work together to:
- Highlight the rising levels of alcohol-related health harm
- Propose evidence-based solutions to reduce this harm
- Influence decision makers to take positive action to address the damage caused by alcohol misuse
While loose coalitions have previously been formed on specific topics in the medical field, notably tobacco control, this is the first time that a group has existed specifically to co-ordinate campaigning on alcohol, bringing together medical bodies, patient representatives and alcohol health campaigners. The formation of the Alliance comes at a time when:
- 13 children a day are hospitalised as a result of alcohol misuse
- Alcoholic liver cirrhosis has increased by 95% since 2000, and by 36% over the last two years to 2006 and is still increasing
- Overall alcohol related deaths have increased by 18% from 2002-2005
- More people die from alcohol related causes than from breast cancer, cervical cancer and MRSA combined
- The 'passive effects' of alcohol misuse are catastrophic – rape, sexual assault, domestic and other violence, drunk driving and street disorder - alcohol affects thousands more innocent victims than passive smoking
The Alcohol Health Alliance UK will campaign for:
- Increased taxation on alcohol – evidence suggests that a 10% increase could decrease the number of deaths from alcohol by up to 37%
- A ban on alcohol advertising before 9.00 pm and in cinemas apart from 18 rated films
- Promotional material to carry information on health related harm
- The drink driving limit to be reduced to the EU standard of 0.5g/l and a near zero limit for new drivers
- More funding for alcohol treatment programmes and alcohol prevention strategies
Vice-President of the College, Christopher Russell said: "All clinicians support the trend towards responsible drinking and the Royal College of Surgeons of England support these measures to curb excessive alcohol consumption. Surgeons see some of the most immediate effects of binge drinking in a rising toll of emergency trauma injury admissions due largely to traffic accidents and altercations."

Lakers: No Timetable For Bryant Return
Lakers PhotosLakers vs. FC Barcelona The Los Angeles Lakers face off with Pau Gasol's former team and European Champions FC Barcelona on October 7, 2010. Nike's House of Hoops In Barcelona and Basketball Clinic Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol go against Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro on a 2-on-2 game Lakers Travel To London Pilots hold up a Lakers flag before the Los Angeles Lakers travel to London at LAX on September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
CHICAGO (AP) — Kobe Bryant is riding a bike. That's about all he can do right now, so he's trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bryant broke a bone in his left knee Dec. 17 at Memphis while playing his fourth game in five nights, likely sidelining the superstar guard for six weeks. The injury against the Grizzlies occurred in his sixth game back after he missed the start of the season while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon.
The pair of injuries for the 35-year-old Bryant raised questions about whether he would ever return to his previous form. But he said Monday night he had no doubt he would play at a similarly high level again.
"There was before I came back the first time because I didn't know how my Achilles was going to respond to playing and changing directions," Bryant said before the Lakers' 102-100 overtime loss at Chicago. "The game in Memphis I had a pretty good feel for it, getting back to being able to do what I normally could do. I feel confident about it. I did play that second half on a fractured leg and played pretty well. I feel pretty good about my chances."
But the rehab from the knee injury has been slow going so far. The 15-time All-Star said he is limited to mostly bike work right now and any talk of a return is up in the air until he returns to the court.
"Try not to think about it too much," he said. "Just go day to day."
Playing without Bryant and Steve Nash, the Lakers have dropped 13 of 16 to fall to 16-26 on the season. But they have received some encouraging play from Kendall Marshall and reserve Nick Young, who had 31 points against the Bulls.
The Lakers face a long road back to contention in the loaded Western Conference, especially with their injury issues. Nash is out with a back problem, and the team also is missing Jordan Farmar (torn left hamstring), Steve Blake (torn elbow ligament) and Xavier Henry (right knee bone bruise).
"It just makes it harder," coach Mike D'Antoni said of playing without two of the team's biggest stars. "You're not quite as good as you were when you had the guy. The biggest thing is how to finish games off because you know where you're going if they're on the floor. You've got to figure that out."
Henry could return soon. He is expected to step up his rehab work when the Lakers practice Wednesday in Miami.
Even with his limited action, Bryant remains one of the most popular players in the league. He had the most All-Star votes among the Western Conference guards when balloting was announced Jan. 9.
The fan voting was set to close Monday night, and the starters for the Feb. 16 game in New Orleans will be announced on Thursday.
"I've always looked forward to playing in All-Star games. It's always something that's been a huge honor," Bryant said. "With that being said, I haven't played. I think some of the other guys who have been out there performing and playing well and are All-Star worthy should be the ones out there playing."
Bryant isn't taking anything for granted in his 18th NBA season, especially with his injury problems over the last two years. All the time on the sideline also has provided more perspective on how the game has changed since he was a rookie in the 1996-97 season.
"It's much, much less physical," he said. "Some of the flagrant fouls I see called nowadays makes me nauseous. You can't touch a guy without it being a flagrant foul. I think some of that are some of the negatives I've seen change. But there's positives, too."

Night Catches Us, a new film about the Black Panthers produced by UW alumni Ron Simons, will be released by Magnolia Pictures on Dec. 3. Written and directed by Tanya Hamilton, it premiered at Sundance 2010 and was an Official Selection.
This is the first feature film produced by SimonSays Entertainment, Inc., which Simons founded in 2009 to tell the stories, fables and narratives of under-represented communities. Simons left Microsoft Mail's marketing division to earn his Master of Fine Arts in Drama from the UW in 2001. He now lives in New York City.
It's 1976 and Marcus (Anthony Mackie) returns to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age in the midst of the Black Power movement. He quickly finds himself at odds with the organization he once embraced and must protect a deep secret that could shatter everyone's beliefs. For more, see the official movie site.
Night Catches Us will be screened Wednesday, Nov. 17, at Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace. The screening will raise money for the UW School of Drama Career Entry Endowment Fund and is co-sponsored by the UW School of Drama and the Graduate School.

We would like to welcome advertiser Niamh O'Connor of Urban Threads to whipup.net today, to feature her business and to offer a fantastic giveaway to our readers.
Urban Threads was created for those looking for embroidery designs they couldn't find anywhere else – everything from tattoos and steampunk to pagan designs and all-out geekery. Our goal is to not only reach that audience of stitchers who previously couldn't find things they wanted, but to introduce it to a whole new audience of people who might not have even looked at machine embroidery before because of their assumptions of what it was, or what it could do. Also, we one day hope to achieve world domination through embroidery. Not sure how yet, but we're working on it.
Where to find Urban Threads online: Shop :: Stitch Punk Blog
Tell us what led you to the work you do today?
I went to school for illustration, and through college got an internship at a machine embroidery company. I loved drawing stuff every day, but I wasn't drawing the kind of things I was really in to. I figured there had to be a whole audience of crafters like me who wanted different kinds of designs than those that were typically offered by the industry. As it turns out, there are a whole bunch of embroiderers out there who prefer skulls to floral samplers. It's been so much fun to discover a whole new audience for the medium.
Who or what is your biggest inspiration?
Our customers! It's so great to see what is inspiring them and the DIY community. We get requests all the time for all kinds of crazy cool ideas. It's a great way to see just what your audience wants. For instance, we started doing steampunk designs once in awhile, and through customer requests and ideas it's expanded into one of our best selling themes! They always seem to have a new idea of what to add gears to.
What are you doing to be a more eco friendly business?
The nice thing about being an entirely digital business is that you don't have any of the waste of printing, storing, packaging, shipping… any of it! Our product is entirley digital and thus doesn't create any excess material. We stitch each product once for quality and scanning, and after that it just lives in cyberspace! It also means more time for us to draw and design and create when we're not messing with the physical side of producing and distributing a product.
Also, one of our favorite things to do in tutorials is up-cycling! Embroidery is a great way of bringing new life to an old garment, so we show people how to cut things apart and put them back together as something new and fun.
Today Urban Threads are offering a prize of a $50 gift certificate to one lucky Whipup.net reader.
So please leave a comment here to be in the running to win. You have 72 hours to enter. Winner will be chosen at random, announced here and contacted via email. Good luck! Congratulations to Margi!
Urban Threads has just this week released Dark Fairytale embroidery designs, and these will be on sale until the 5th of September.
If you would like your business to be featured in a future Giveaway Post, visit our advertising page or email us at advertising[at]whipup[dot]net.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Antti Niemi made 25 saves and Tim Kennedy scored in the third period to help the San Jose Sharks end a seven-game winless streak with a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.
The Sharks' seven-game skid was their longest streak since a 10-game run Nov. 5-30, 2005.
Joe Thornton also scored for San Jose, which began the season with a franchise-record seven successive wins.
St. Louis has dropped five consecutive home games. The Blues also had a three-game winning streak halted. The Blues were coming off a 3-0 road trip with wins in Detroit, Calgary and Vancouver.
Kennedy scored the go-ahead goal at 13:02 on a shot from the left faceoff circle that eluded goalie Jake Allen, who had won the first three starts of his career.

Only Connect: The future of interconnect technology
If you're like myself, you constantly think about the future and what technological advances will come. In my case, interconnection is a particular interest.
There have been many predictions of the future including this video featuring Walter Cronkite in the 1967 show "The home office of 2001″. It is comical to watch now, but there is a serious point.
Carbon nanotubes will be the next significant breakthrough and this great article by Katherine Derbyshire goes into great detail on the subject.
In short, one of the barriers to Moore's law is the physical properties of the raw materials such as copper. Nanotubes resolve this issue.
The future is very close and I am very confident that we will not be reading articles like this in the future with the same sense of comedic value as the video above. Nano technology is going to be here soon – we just don't know how soon – but when it does appear on the market place you can be sure we will be among the first to report on it.

PLENTY OF ZUM – Recreation commissioner Renee King, left, is saluted by chairman Joseph O'Brien for her efforts in leading dance events known as zumbathons that raise funds for community programs while bringing people together. King's fellow instructors Caryl Steward and Candy Johansen join the applause. Commission members must have been energized by the presentation; they decided to try to get figures to submit with letters of intent for their priority facilities projects to the Community Preservation Committee by CPC's December deadline.
