Staff Reporter
ERODE: The timing of withdrawal of support to the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre cost the Left dearly, R. Nallakannu, former State secretary, Communist Party of India, has said.
Addressing newsmen at the party's Erode office on Thursday, he said the Left should have, instead, withdrew support when it was out of the UPA-Left coordination committee. "Instead of withdrawing support citing differences over nuclear deal, the Left should have walked out when it wanted to protest against rise in prices."
The senior leader parried questions on Communist Party of India (Marxist) charge that lack of AIADMK support resulted in poor performance. "The CPI will convene a meeting to discuss the election outcome and only after analysing the result, will it come to a conclusion."
Mr. Nallakannu said Congress victory in the election was a vote for stability and against communalism and added that it was not an overwhelming victory as the vote share had increased by only two percentage points.
He attributed the victory to Congress taking credit for programmes it had implemented at Left's instance like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme.
On the Left's future course of action, the CPI national executive member said following the poor show, it was imperative on both the two major parties CPI (M) and CPI to work out a joint strategy and fight together for people's welfare.
He also suggested electoral reforms on replacing electronic voting machines with ballot papers and introduction of proportional representation system.
He then honoured the party's centenarian leader C.S. Subramaniam, who turned 100 on Thursday. District secretary V.P. Gunasekaran was also present.

Diversity and difference in communication
Interpersonal communication in health and social care services is by its nature diverse...
Interpersonal communication in health and social care services is by its nature diverse. As a consequence, achieving good or effective communication – whether between service providers and service users, or among those working in a service – means taking account of diversity, rather than assuming that every interaction will be the same. This unit explores the ways in which difference and diversity impact on the nature of communication in health and social care services.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of competing perspectives on issues of communication, difference and diversity;
- Demonstrate an understanding of the ways in which issues of ethnicity, gender and disability impact on interpersonal communication in care services;
- Apply ideas about communication and difference to everyday interactions in health and social care contexts;
- Analyse the ways in which ideas about difference can both reflect and reproduce inequalities between groups in the context of care services;
- Identify strategies for working with difference and diversity in the context of challenging discrimination in health and social care contexts.

'Walking Dead' Composer to Score Starz's 'Da Vinci's Demons'
Starz's Da Vinci's Demons is getting a dose of The Walking Dead.
Composer Bear McCreary, also known for his music on Battlestar Galactica, will write the score for the upcoming eight-episode historical drama series from David S. Goyer launching next spring.
Da Vinci's Demons centers on the "untold" story of the world's greatest genius, Leonardo da Vinci (played by Tom Riley), during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence.
"I've been a fan of Bear's since hearing his score for Battlestar Galactica, which was inspired and unexpected. We wanted something similarly grand, but unconventional for Da Vinci's Demons," said Goyer in a statement.
McCreary's recent credits include AMC's The Walking Dead, Fox's Human Target, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Syfy's Eureka, Caprica, Trauma and NBC's The Cape. On the big screen, he has composed music for Knights of Badassdom with Peter Dinklage and Summer Glau.

HAVE: Canna seeds for any cactus seeds
vaindioux(7aCanton-GA-)September 13, 2008
I have some fresh canna seeds from my backyard, the flower is red/orange and they get very tall like 10 feet.
They can be raised smaller in a pot. Very hardy the bulbs survive with no damage here in zone 7.
I am after some cactus seeds, any will do but I would prefer something easy to sow as I am a rookie.
Thanks a lot

Love Song either diseased or bugs, very sad
Planted our Long Song from a reputable garden center first week in June this year. Had about 24 beautiful blooms. I posted pics. Healthy foliage. Then finally had to dead head all the blooms about 2 1/2 weeks ago. So far nothing with the small appearance of new buds. Nothing.... Just green foliage. Have fertilized and watered enough. Today was really looking hard at the bush (no camera) and saw what appeared to be ONE light gray 1/4" long bug that hopped/flew off. Just one. There are a number of thinner stems that have some brown spots on the stems. Disease? Very sad....
Your rose has only been in the ground for 6 weeks. I would give it a break (from everything except water). It is trying to grow its roots. Good that you deadheaded, but if it was mine I would be happy that it was spending energy under the ground growing roots, so it can get established.
I agree with Jackie, give it some time to mature. Besides that 2 1/2 weeks since dead heading isn't really all that long. Some roses take 8 weeks to recycle a new flush. When it's ready it will put on more blooms.
Without a picture of what you are talking about on the stems there is no way to know what the problem might be.
The canes that are 100% brown are dead, and should be cut off (as should that brown stump near the bottom left on the first picture. Just cut it back to the green part. The miscellaneous small brown marks on the green canes do not look like disease to me - just some small amount of damage from rubbing or whatever. I would not worry about it at all. Just leave the bush alone now, except to make sure it has adequate water. You will be surprised how well it does in a couple of months or so.
That one brown spot with concentric zoning looks like a canker to me, but I wouldn't worry about it. It is probably inactive. If there is any spread in summer it will be slight. Most cankers develop in late winter or early spring. Common advice is to prune out cankers if they girdle over half the circumference of the stem, only because the loss of bark could reduce the future vigor of the cane. I know you probably aren't going to believe me, but I garden in a cool damp climate, I see cankers every year, I ignore them, and they don't do any serious harm. They are normally self-limiting or the rose has an effective immune response. Some varieties are more susceptible, for example 'Brass Band' and 'Mutabilis'.
Prune out the dead wood, as Jackie said, so you don't have to look at it.
Thanks Jackie & Michael,
I still see some wiggling when I gently tug on each side of the bush. Hopefully the roots will start getting stronger in the 7 weeks since planting. I'm so impatient, and I know I shouldn't be--as this is only a 7 week Baby(I mean a "7 Week PLANTED Baby). I'm spoiled because when I planted the bush, it had about 2 dozen or more buds. Since they have all bloomed & been dead headed, I hate looking at a bald bush with no signs at all of buds. Now my 7 week old Dick Clark had about 30 blooms, all dead headed & 2 new blooms & a whole bunch of new buds. Arghhhhhhh
When I said 'tug' on my bush, I was gentle. When we originally planted it, it seemed to be moving more even though it was planted deep as we could go. I was just checking to see if over the last 7 weeks since planting--it had gotten sturdier whereas it wouldn't move at all, so I was gentle; and it still moves a little bit. That wasn't the issue though--it was the brown speckles/spots on a number of branches.

Kent Beck on Agile Adoption & Values
In an interview with InfoQ editor Kurt Christensen, Kent Beck shares his thoughts on a range of topics, from the challenges associated with adopting and applying agile values and practices within a large organization, to the future of agile as it gains mainstream acceptance.
Case Study: Targeted Practice Adoption using Patterns
It's easy to forget what originally motivated us, once we're implementing Agile. Teams spin, trying to figure out which practices to start with, unsure which will have the biggest impact, or how they fit together. Amr Elssamadisy and John Mufarrige propose a customized adoption approach to help teams decide where to focus first - an alternative to adoption of pre-packaged methodologies.
Adopting Agile Development Practices: Using Patterns to Share our Experiences
Agile adoption often proves challenging. Participants at a recent OpenSpace event focused on the dynamics of adoption rather than the structure that results from adoption. The resulting patterns are part of an effort to compile Agile adoption patterns answering: "What specific practices should I adopt?", "How can I adopt incrementally?" and "Where can I expect pitfalls?"
Experience Report: Agile Development Apprenticeship at NMHU
The story of a unique work-study degree program at New Mexico Highlands University, begun in 2004-2005: an apprentice shop where students and customers used Agile practices.
Interview: Jim Johnson of the Standish Group

The DeFrantz credo: 'Yes, you can!'
I have known and been friends with Anita DeFrantz for three decades, since she was a vice president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee for the 1984 Summer Games. She is one of sports' true pioneers, both for her marvelous athletic career and for her position as perhaps the most powerful woman in international sport through her role in the International Olympic Committee. Her influence is written all over the Olympics.
Recently, she told me, "I know we are not done yet; but between 1996 and 2008, we have had twice as many women competing in the Olympics than those who competed between 1900 and 1992 combined. Forty-two percent of the Olympians were women in Beijing. When I was on the team, it was less than 20 percent."
The Olympic experience in the Athletes Village in 1976 shaped the rest of her life.
"I saw the Africans walk out to protest racism in South Africa," she said. "They stood up for justice, and I learned from them. But I also learned from the Olympians who stayed that everyone could live in peace. Sport smashed boundaries and dissolved hatred."
DeFrantz has been an against-all-odds person throughout her career. It was against considerable odds that this girl, who wasn't able to play high school sports, became a great rower. She didn't compete in that sport until college; yet in 1976, she became the first African-American to win an Olympic medal in rowing. Later, she showed the courage to stand up to President Jimmy Carter, in leading athletes to protest the administration's boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games.
The focus of ESPN's coverage of Women's History Month this year is on young athletes in sports that are both traditional and non-traditional. DeFrantz's role as a positive influence in helping young women become competitive in sport makes her a perfect subject. Her own example, of course, is a key factor. She broke barriers and gave hope to young girls that they could follow her path.
I accompanied Anita to the National Black Heritage Swimming Championships in May of 2008 and watched young black girls huddle around her. She was excited to see all these youthful African-American barrier breakers who were trying to find their way in a traditional country club sport that has provided opportunities almost exclusively for whites. She kept telling them, "Yes, you can; yes, you can." DeFrantz has been saying this to young girls ever since she stopped competing herself, and long before Barack Obama's "Yes, we can" campaign phrase took on a whole new meaning.
Anita said at the time, "I wanted to swim competitively when I was their age, but an African-American girl had no outlet to swim. My being a competitive athlete prepared me for everything that followed in life. I think it is great that these kids are getting this opportunity."
One of the young women in awe of Anita was the University of Maryland's Blair Cross, who was then the only African-American swimmer in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Cross recently told me, "It was so inspiring to have met Ms. Anita DeFrantz. When I first met her, I must admit that I was surprised that there was an African-American woman who held such an influential position within the International Olympic Committee. She made me immediately comfortable in approaching her to ask about her sports career and college athletic career in rowing. She and I share a similar experience in being minorities in our sports. We have been asked similar questions and have been put in uncomfortable positions as minorities in our sports -- especially sports that have a history of not being diverse at all. She couldn't swim competitively during her college years, but here I am. And she also had questions about my current experiences."
Indeed, DeFrantz engaged those young people like adults rarely do. She asked questions such as, "Was the competition good for you? Would you do it again? Did you accomplish what you set out to do?"
She got enthusiastic answers to all her questions.
I have seen young athletes and athlete representatives at an IOC meeting seek her advice. While her athleticism and international influence are most often noted in her story, I have no doubt that her greatest legacy will come from the millions of children who have participated in LA84, a foundation that she has led for 23 years. LA84 has undertaken programs to support sporting, health and fitness activities in Southern California and was funded originally by profits from the Los Angeles Olympics. Focusing on sports activities that historically have been denied to impoverished youth, the programs have helped jumpstart the careers of young athletes who became high school stars, won college scholarships, made Olympic teams and turned pro. With support from LA84, for example, Venus and Serena Williams began to compete in Southern California Tennis Association events before they took America and the tennis world by storm.
Angela Williams, another former LA84 athlete, won four straight NCAA titles in the 100 meters at Southern Cal, won the 60-meter gold medal at the 2008 IAAF world indoor championships and was on the past two U.S. Summer Olympic teams. Among other LA84 products in track and field are Valerie Flores, Natalie Stein and Alexis Weatherspoon, who became intercollegiate stars; and Zuri Henderson, who has made a mark in the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.
In short-track speed skating, Jacqueline Chen won the 2008 U.S. National Short Track Championships in her age group (9 and under), and Maria Garcia competed in the Torino Olympics and was the U.S. Junior Short Track Champion. In track cycling, Christine Barron, Sarah Chen and Tara McCormick competed successfully in the 2007 and 2008 USA Cycling Junior Track National Championships. All were supported by LA84. The foundation has a six-page list of the girls and boys it has supported who competed nationally.
But when DeFrantz talks about the foundation, she talks about more than the accomplishments of the athletes on the playing field.
"We live in dangerous times," she said. "The streets of our cities can be battlegrounds. Within a two-week period four years ago, two college students who went through foundation programs came back to volunteer. Working their ways home, both were shot and killed."
Anita was determined to further expand their programs to get kids off the streets.
By now, more than 2.5 million children have participated in LA84 programs. Each summer, 9,000 young people take part in a huge swim program. DeFrantz proudly said of the program, "80 percent of our life guards were summer swimmers."
She glows even more brightly when she talks about the girls who have become healthier through competition and who have participated in the life skills programs almost always attached to LA84 athletic programs. They come to believe that "Yes, we can," in their own lives.
Anita DeFrantz opened a world of new opportunities by making, and then shaping, history. This is her legacy to all the young girls she has inspired and touched.

A fascinating collection of US police records for 10 Irish immigrants arrested 100 years ago has come to light.
Dubbed an Irish 'rogues gallery' in reports, the collection of cards were auctioned in 2014.
The Irish Times reported that the cards record the men's place of 'nativity' as Ireland and offer fascinating insight into their lives.
The paper says the criminal investigation cards were created between 1902 and 1912 in various US cities.
The cards contain mugshots, crime details and personal details about the men arrested in California, Nevada and Washington.
Occupations listed for the Irishmen include laborer, nurse and elevator operator. They were arrested for minor crimes, mostly theft.
E.C. Reiley, a cook charged with forgery in Nevada, received the longest sentence of two and a half years.
The paper reports that many of the police officers who handled the cases were themselves Irish.
In one example, officers named O'Connell and McPartland charged David Coughlin, a plasterer aged 45, with petty larceny in San Francisco in June 1910.
The report adds that information about the men's weight, height, hair color and distinctive marks, scars and moles proves that the 21st century fashion for tattooing was very common among Irishmen a century ago including initials, anchors and the Claddagh ring.
The report says Harry McCarthy, a 27-year-old blue-eyed nurse was charged with robbery in San Francisco in July 1910 and had extensive tattoos included one depicting a 'dagger piercing flesh' and another of a 'horseshoe, horse inside jockey cap wreath, anchor and whip' and 'clasped hands & hearts.'
Police noted that John Douglas, a 33-year-old cook arrested for 'vagrancy' in Seattle in October 1913, had a wrist which was 'stiff and crooks in.'
Charles Barker (35), an elevator operator in San Francisco arrested for burglary in the city in 1908 by a Detective Sullivan, was described as having 'hairy breast & arms.'
He was sent to the California State Prison at San Quentin for two years.

The Bolton DPW and its subcontractors will be resurfacing Route 117 from approximately Forbush Mill Road to 580 Main St. (Bolton Office Park).
As was the case last year, this will be done in two phases.
The first phase, hot-in-place asphalt recycling, will begin on Thursday, Aug. 15. The work for this phase is scheduled to take place 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 15, 16, 17 and 19.
"Please plan accordingly and seek alternate routes as the delays will be lengthy," according to a press release from the town.
The Item will publish information about delays and schedules for phase two as they become available.

Macintosh makes a lot of wonderful pieces of technology, but they do not make a tablet. Pictured above is the Modbook, the closest you can currently get to a Mac tablet.
The Sony PEG-UX50 was an impressive package when it was released in 2003. It had a 480×320 screen, keyboard, convertible screen, built-in camera, WiFi and Bluetooth.
The Nokia N810 tablet is a great buy, especially for hackers. It already ships with a Linux-based operating system, called OS2008, which is based upon Maemo 4.
[tnkgrl], a regular around here, is at it again. This time she has modded an Acer Aspire One subnotebook to have internal Bluetooth. She's released part 1 of a multi part tutorial on beefing up the Aspire One.
Back in November we asked what you would do with an old unused laptop. If you have an old laptop that's not doing much more than gathering dust, chances are you could put it to better use.
As promised, [tnkgrl] has published part two of Acer Aspire One upgrade. In part one she added Bluetooth and more RAM. This time around she focuses on the storage.
Adeona is an open source internet-based laptop tracking system that is free to use. It's available for Linux, OSX, and Windows XP/Vista. After installation, Adeona will submit at random intervals, anonymously encrypted updates on the computer's location to servers on the Internet, specifically to OpenDHT, a free storage service.
Some people are really picky about their trackpads. [John] posted a guide on retrofitting a Synaptics pad in place of the newer, but less user friendly ALPS touchpad/stick combo used in the Dell Inspiron 8200.
While we haven't talked about the OLPC XO laptop much here, don't think we haven't had our eyes on its developments. Originally shipping last November, this unit captured the interest of many for its humanitarian goal, low cost, and potential hackability.

Wedge Management: Combating "More Of Me"…

RE/P Files: Construction Of A Live Echo Chamber
Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the DTP HDMI 230 D, a Decora-style transmitter and receiver set for transmission of HDMI, audio, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR control signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single CATx cable.
The HDCP-compliant extender provides an economical and effective means for extending HDMI with embedded multi-channel audio from HDMI-equipped devices.
In addition, the DTP HDMI 230 D accepts analog stereo audio signals and digitizes them for simultaneous transmission over the same twisted pair cable.
The wall-mount design and remote powering of either unit make the DTP HDMI 230 D ideal for extending HDMI, audio, and bidirectional control while offering aesthetically pleasing integration in space-challenged environments.
"The DTP HDMI 230 D increases system flexibility with a convenient wall-mount design that enables AV system designers and integrators to add inputs and outputs exactly where they are needed," says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. "This extender also streamlines integration by sending HDMI video, audio, and bidirectional control signals over a single twisted pair cable."
This extender simplifies the incorporation of analog and digital audio signals. It allows a direct analog audio connection from devices with stereo output, such as desktop computers or laptops, and provides balanced and unbalanced audio output from the receiver.
In addition, the DTP HDMI 230 D continuously maintains DDC communication of EDID and HDCP between a source and display for reliable operation, ensuring direct compatibility and optimal signal transmission between devices.
The DTP HDMI 230 D is compatible with CAT 5e, CAT 6, and CAT 7 twisted pair cable, and can be used as a point-to-point solution or integrated with an HDMI matrix switcher to extend inputs or outputs to remote locations. It supports signal resolutions up to 1080p/60 or 1920x1200 and supports HDMI specification features including data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, HD lossless audio formats, and CEC.
For added flexibility, either the transmitter or receiver can be powered over the original twisted pair cable, allowing both devices to share one external power supply. Both devices are available separately, and may be mixed and matched with the desktop DTP HDMI 230 transmitter or receiver to suit the installation requirements of a specific application.

jelly-type of fungus in lucky bamboo pot
I have the lucky bamboo for more than a year. In the past two months, a brownish jelly-type of fungus growing in the LB pot. I cleaned out the "jelly" in the pot once but it returned a week later. 3 stems have got rotten and are dying. What is the problem and what can I do to prevent further deterioration? Thanks for your help.
It sounds to me like you have root/stem rot. I'd guess the jelly is actually rotting plant material. Your best bet to save the plant would be to re-root the stems, check the LB propagation threads for more info. Because you have rot, you'll need to discard the effected parts of the plant. Just make sure that the parts of the plant you try to root are still healthy, not soft or discolored. If you really want to re-use the same container, discard the infected roots/dirt/gravel, clean it out well with soap + water, then disinfect it with diluted bleach. But I'd use another container for the rooting anyhow, as it might be safer.

... serenaded by a mariachi band. Seen and tasted some of the best tequila in the world. Jumped off the back of a boat in Chileno Bay and snorkelled among schools of tropical fish. Done the conga on top of a boat. Eaten some of the best food. I'm stoked to be travelling with someone who'll shove something potentially fatally spicy into their pie hole with as much gusto as I do.

I was wondering if you were the person who stated this cemetery? If so could you update the info on the page? It makes it appear as only the war memorials are buried here. Let me know or else I can have Find A Grave Admins update the info as well. thanks

Wrong Information
In adding information to my family's records in Ancestry and FindA Grave, I did a search to see if there were any memorials for my Aunt Marilyn before creating one for her. Because the information you have for her is incorrect, I did not find the one you created. Would you be willing to delete your memorial in light that my aunt's memorial is linked to her husband and family?

This entry is wrong it refers to my wife, see is not buried at the location detailed, in fact they don't do burials the at all, all are cremated, as was my wife, even her ashes are not there, I would prefer that the entry is removed but if you want to know where her ashes are please get back to me I can send a photograph of the location, which is clearly better than the info on the site, I have written about this before but never had a reply, so at present I think its quantity of information and don't worry if its correct and don't consider the family.

Not sure of your source for the attached obituary or the process you followed to establish a St Colemans Cemetery in Cranghwell Galway, but if you had verified the info you may have had difficulties in supporting the cemetery page you created.
Two alternate obituaries - http://www.rip.ie/showdn.php?dn=151755/Michael%20%28Mick%29FEENEY/Craughwell/Galway and http://www.announcement.ie/13269020-death-feeney-michael will clearly point you in the right direction. The links will require you to visit the sites and carry out the search.
To assist I have created a cemetery page verified with a map location for you to transfer the memorial to. The Church is St Coleman's and the cemetery is known by the name of Roveagh Graveyard.

Connections: That's what Boly:Welch is all about

Boly:Welch was founded in 1986 based on a close connection between Diane Boly and Pat Welch. The two had worked together at another recruitment firm and shared certain core values: passion for their work, a sense of humor, a commitment to their community and a desire to create a healthy, nurturing work environment.
They merged their connections and values to form a new business and, in the process, leveraged existing networks to create one of the foremost recruiting companies in the region.
Twenty-seven years later, having survived the recent recession without layoffs or cutbacks, Boly:Welch is thriving. Happily entrenched in their newly refurbished home in Portland's Public Service Building, the firm is better positioned than ever to serve the employment needs of its growing client list.
"We've experienced 25% growth in the last year – an outgrowth of demand from existing clients and new ones," says Boly. "We've built up trust with our clients, so that when they need just the right fit, they can count on us for the perfect candidate."

Tom P - Sloppy Seconds
Artist: Tom P
Featuring: Rittz
Producer: J.Patron
Album: The Preacher's Kid
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 5 votes )
Normally, there's nothing appetizing about Sloppy Seconds. When they're being served up by an artist as talented as Tom P., though, it's tough to resist digging in. On this newly-released mixtape inclusion, his first DJBooth feature since December 2011's Underdog Rises, the unsigned ATLien mercilessly taunts his rivals, who are forced to scrounge for table scraps (both sexually and professionally) while he enjoys the cream of the crop. Rittz, a fellow A-Town fave who shares the headliner's aptitude for head-spinning double-time flows, jumps on J.Patron's whip-ready beat to deliver verse two. After giving Sloppy Seconds a spin, are you hungry for another helping?
