There are no comments for Late Summer Day. Click here to post the first comment.
Late afternoon sun created colorful reflections in the still pond waters.
Retired and am starting to love the challenges that each image presents to the camera. Searching for my 'perfect' image(s) if there is such a thing. No specialties yet, everything is fair game.


Larry Ellison, you owe me a Botox treatment. I've just spent about two hours frowning at my computer screen, trying to figure out what the heck you're talking about when you say Exalogic is "one big, honkin' cloud" that runs behind a firewall, on hardware. Now I've got wrinkles between my eyebrows.
Oracle's cloud entry is an integrated hardware/software box dubbed Exalogic Elastic Cloud. The idea here is that the Exalogic box provides cloud infrastructure in one stop. Ellison said Exalogic includes 'the fastest Java performance, elastic capacity on demand and a completely fault tolerant system.' Kind of like, well, a mainframe?
One core tenet of cloud computing is 'rapid elasticity,' where capacity can be provisioned and scaled up and down at will. Think Amazon Web Services. Does the Exalogic box meet that criteria? Will Oracle take a box back if you don't need the computing power?
That makes more sense, frankly, than some of the other articles that focused more on the "cloud" and less on the "infrastructure."
It seems likely this offering will appeal to large companies and governments. GCN noted that it provides another option for government agencies looking to set up private cloud infrastructures.
Exalogic, by the way, is based on Exadata, which is an "optimized" hardware/software storage server appliance (for want of a better word), according to ZD Net's Joe McKendrick. Exadata was the first sign Oracle wanted to make good use of its Sun acquisition and all the hardware that it bought. I suppose Exalogic is the follow-up, because it certainly involves the hardware.
There's still big business in integration. Plenty of customers have no interest or intent to qualify different hardware components, test for compatibility, manage configurations and optimize for performance. A pre-configured solution makes those headaches go away. Yes, cost is a factor (integration doesn't come cheap), but obviously, not for everyone.
IBM is sending a message that there are other options out there, and IBM's going to be one of them.
Forrester's James Kobielus says that at this point, Netezza is "essentially a one-trick pony," that it lacks business intelligence, data integration and a professional services support team. Assuming the deal goes through, he predicts IBM will spiff Netezza's product up a bit with these capabilities and then, abracadabra! It will have a nice integrated offering that should compete nicely with Oracle's Exadata and other "lower cost" data solutions.
The good news for you, dear IT department, is that IBM's move could lead to a price war in the low-cost data warehouse market.
Last but not least, Oracle's Fusion Applications suite seems to have been overshadowed by the hoopla over Exalogic Elastic Cloud. It looks like a really intricate piece of work, too. It's built on Fusion middleware with a service-oriented architecture, which is the foundation for the numerous modular applications it can deliver.
According to NewsFactor this "100 percent open-standards-based" solution "has more than 100 modules in seven product families -- Financial Management, Procurement and Spending, Project and Portfolio Management, Human Capital Management, Customer Relationship Management, Supply Chain Management, and Governance Risk and Compliance.
The fact that it's built as a SOA also means it plays well with third-party apps, according to V3.co.uk. If you'd like more specifics about its applications, ZDNet has a nice chart summarizing the highlights.
And I'm just kidding about that Botox thing by the way, Mr. Ellison. My brow's been permanently furrowed since I started covering integration several years ago.
Is WebSphere CloudBurst a comparative product from IBM? Would be interested to see how these compare. But would this ever be made available on the public cloud?
LOL! It's my first time to encounter this word "Exalogic ". Thanks for posting!

Leonardo DiCaprio Addresses Word Leaders In First U.N. Speech...
Leonardo DiCaprio Addresses Word Leaders In First U.N. Speech On Climate Change
By Nick Hill in Movies / TV / Theatre on 24 September 2014
Follow Leonardo Dicaprio
The Hollywood star told the world leaders in attendance, "None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria — it is fact," when addressing the growing risks of climate change.
Earlier last week Leonardo DiCaprio was bestowed with the title of Messenger of Peace by the United Nations, and on Tuesday (Sept 23rd), the 39 year-old actor delivered his first major speech at the U.N. Climate Summit, addressing the impact of climate change.
DiCaprio addressed the world leaders on the growing dangers of climate change
DiCaprio, who has been a known advocate for the awareness of protecting earth's environment for several years, focused on the concerns of "accelerated climate change" during his speech at the U.N. headquarters in New York, and told the world leaders in the audience, "You can make history, or you will be vilified by it."
The discourse, which lasted around 3½ minutes, was delivered with a sense of modesty from the Hollywood A-lister and urged the government as a whole, not just certain individuals, to work together to prevent the dangers of climate change worsening.

"I stand before you not as an expert, but as a concerned citizen - one of the 400,000 people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis," he said. "As an actor, I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters, often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way - as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that climate change wasn't real would somehow make it go away."
DiCaprio, who established The Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation in 1998, which promotes awareness between humanity and the natural world, ruthlessly underlined the specific message he wanted to convey.

"To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car; this disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make," he stated. "This is now about our industries and our governments around the world taking decisive and large-scale action."

Bet 365 Wilder v Fury – Saturday 22nd February
LADBROKEUK Sportsbook
With 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the final round remaining, Tyson Fury was on course for one of the biggest achievements in the history of boxing. What followed will never, ever be forgotten…
"OH AND DOWN HE GOES!!"
"RIGHT HAND!"
"LEFT HAND!"
"I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO GET UP, I THINK IT'S ALL OVER!"
A clubbing right hook instantly followed up by a brutal left hand and Tyson Fury was seemingly KO'd on the canvas of the Staples Center. The referee had counted to six and Fury hadn't even moved, he was motionless on the mat, by the time he got to nine the Gypsy King had somehow got to his feet and was telling the ref he was ready to carry on. The man from Manchester survived the final round before his fate was left in the judges' hands – the first was scored 115-111 Wilder, the second 114-112 Fury and the third 113-113 – a split decision draw!
It was one of the most enthralling heavyweight showdowns of all-time, Fury won Comeback of the Year from Ring magazine and the final round between them won Round of the Year, it really was one of the most sensational contests you are likely to see. Before the fight, every single one of Wilder's previous 41 opponents had been knocked out by the Bronze Bomber, nobody had got up from his iconic, sweeping right hand. Fury got up *twice* in the fight, and in the eyes of most of the boxing community, did enough to win it. If he had been awarded the decision it would have been the greatest comeback not just seen in the history of boxing but arguably sport in general.
16 months prior to stepping into the ring with the menacing WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson weighed 27 stone, was plagued by his well-documented mental health and drug issues and was a shadow of the man who had won so convincingly in Dusseldorf on that November night in 2015. He'd had two 'warm-up' fights against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta – it's no surprise he wasn't given a chance of victory that night in LA.
Following the epic clash, a rematch was instantly demanded, with May/June of 2019 rumoured to be all but confirmed, what happened however wasn't exactly in the script. Fury signed with Bob Arum's TopRank and a decision was made to build the rematch for a year to build the levels on anticipation.
Deontay Wilder went off and beat Dominic Breazeale with one of the knockouts of 2019 then followed that up a few months later by knocking out Luis Ortiz in far more spectacular fashion (if that is even possible!) His reputation as the most fearsome puncher in the division was enhanced even further, albeit even if he had been outboxed by Luis Ortiz before the spectacular KO. It's a typical footnote of most of Wilder's fights, do very little for the majority of the contest before landing the biggest of punches to say goodnight to his opponent.
Fury has taken a slightly different route, defending his Lineal title twice against Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin with a WWE cameo slotted in for good measure, both of his fights, however, couldn't have been more different. A stunning two-round beat-down of the undefeated Schwarz where Fury ducked, dodged and moved like he was in the Matrix was lauded around the boxing world. Against Wallin though he was cut badly in the third and ambled to a unanimous points decision which some said highlighted weaknesses in the Fury camp. Question marks still linger over whether Wilder will open that cut again – if he does, it could be difficult for Fury to battle past a far better opponent this time.
Behind the scenes in the Fury camp, there has been more upheaval – coach Ben Davison has been replaced and the Gypsy King has opted to train at the legendary Kronk Gym under SugarHill Steward, a place he frequented when he was beginning his professional boxing career, training under the iconic Emanuel 'Manny' Steward. Fury made the decision stating he needs to "knockout Wilder" to be sure of a victory in the US and not have to rely on the judges' decision again. The Gypsy King has been brash about his chances unsurprisingly and has stated he will knockout Wilder in two rounds, if you're as confident as Tyson you can get 66/1 (67.00) on him ending the fight in round two. Wilder's biggest price for a knockout comes in round 12 where he is 33/1 (34.00) to complete what he so nearly did last time. But we all know, putting Tyson down and keeping him there is easier said than done.
So, what can we expect on February 22nd?
The rematch is set to be bigger, better and even more dramatic than the first bout. Fury is fight-ready and in A1 shape unlike the first bout with Wilder now having the experience of facing the Gypsy King in the ring and surely being more prepared for the task at hand. Fury's elusive fleet of foot makes him so awkward for any fighter to hit, Wilder's power makes him arguably the most explosive heavyweight of all-time, put them both together and one of the greatest fights is set to take place.
This is reflected in the odds supplied by bet365, they simply cannot be split, both men are 10/11 (1.90) for victory. bet365 also have a range markets available including Round Betting, Fight Outcome and Exact Method of Victory for those that prefer a bit more value in their betting odds. Wilder, unsurprisingly, is shortest for a KO – 4/1 (5.00) or a TKO – 11/4 (3.75) win, with Fury seemingly more likely to win via unanimous decision – 2/1 (3.00).

As Global Mining Fatalities Fall, Brazil Deaths Show Problems Remain
Source : Dow Jones News
Stock : Cia Vale Rio Doce (VALE3)
Quote : 57.0 1.83 (3.32%) @ 10:45PM
VALE ON (BOV:VALE3)
By Alistair MacDonald
The mining industry often displays its ability to shock with deadly accidents such as the burst dam that has left hundreds missing in Brazil, but fatal mishaps in the sector have declined in recent decades.
Tighter regulations, technology improvements and automation that have led to fewer people working in mines are behind the falling number of mining fatalities, according to data from government agencies and industry groups.
In 1950 there were 807 deaths in the U.S., which had fallen to 510 by 1960, 425 by 1970 and 27 last year, according to data from the National Mining Association.
The 27 large mining companies, including Vale, that are members of trade body the International Council on Mining and Metals reported 51 fatalities in 2017, down from 63 in 2016.
Yet deaths remain higher in parts of the developing world, where technology can be less up-to-date and regulatory oversight can be weaker.
Death tolls are particularly high in some developing countries in coal mining and through tailings dams, which collect mining waste. A tailings dam owned by mining giant Vale SA burst Friday, releasing mining waste and flooding the company's offices with mud. At least 60 people were confirmed dead and 292 people unaccounted for as of Monday morning.
In addition, available data doesn't give a definitive picture, given many countries don't produce it and some of those that do, such as China, may not provide a full account, experts say.
One factor behind the shrinking number of global fatalities is a drop in the number of people working in the mining sector around the world. "There has a been steady reduction in mine fatalities, but there has also been a reduction on the amount of hours worked," said Rod Breland, an expert in mine safety at RMB Consulting Services, Inc.
In the U.S., employment in mining and quarrying decreased 14% to 180,338 in the decade to January 2018.
In more recent years, the number of deaths has settled on a relative plateau in the U.S. and European Union. In the U.S., 27 people died in mining accidents last year, 28 the year before and 25 in 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Those tallies are far lower than early last century, when deaths in the U.S. numbered more than 1,000 each year in coal mining alone, peaking in 1907 when there were an estimated 3,242 fatalities in this sector, according to the Labor Department.
In the EU, there were 67 deaths in 2016, the most recent data, down from 82 in 2010, according to Eurostat. The number of fatalities had increased by one each year in the three years before that, 2012 to 2015.
In South Africa, a total of 88 fatalities were reported in 2017, and 73 in 2016, according to the Minerals Council of South Africa. That 17% increase was the first rise in 10 years.
Few mines have been responsible for as many deaths as those in the Chinese coal industry in recent decades. In 2002, 6,995 people died in coal mines, according to a government paper. By 2017 that had fallen to 375, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Coal mining remains among the most deadly, often because companies have to dig deep underground to mine. Underground mining, as opposed to open-pit mining, brings the risk of gas and of mine collapse.
That difference can be seen by comparing America's two largest coal-producing states. Wyoming often produces over three times more coal than West Virginia, yet over the last two years there has been one death in the state compared with 12 in West Virginia, according to government data.
Coal is mined from open pits in Wyoming and mainly underground in West Virginia, according to the United Mine Workers of America.
As with Vale, tailings dams have also been responsible for casualties and accidents.
There were 39 tailings dam failures between 2007 and 2017, according to research from the United Nations Environment Program. Three of those were in Brazil, including a 2015 disaster at a mine co-owned by Vale, which killed 19 people.
The increasing number and size of tailings dams around the world magnifies the risks from them, according to a 2017 report by the U.N. body and Norwegian environment group GRID-Arendal.

Jack Fairs
Homepage-New
Jack Fairs has worked at the University of Western Ontario for over half a century as a teacher, mentor, researcher and coach. He is well known and respected for his extensive contributions in physical education and coaching, particularly in the sport of squash. He retired in 1988 but still continues to coach squash at his alma mater where he is professor emeritus of kinesiology.
Commitment to coaching has been a hallmark of Jack's distinguished career. Incredible as it may seem, he played and coached five sports during his lifetime: football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and squash. Even more he produced national champions in tennis, football and squash.
The squash community knows Jack best for the record-setting play of the UWO squash team. Since 1970 his teams have won 32 team titles and 22 singles titles in Ontario University Athletics. Their record of 22 consecutive team and 32 titles overall make them the most successful team in UWO history.
During his tenure UWO has ranked in the upper echelon of US intercollegiate squash. It won team titles in 1977 and 1980 and singles titles in 1976 and 1989. Team members have earned All-American honours and have been named to numerous All-Tournament teams.
Jack Fairs' honours and awards document his commitment to excellence in coaching and promoting the game of squash. He has been recognized by his peers, his province, his country and by the United States. In 1997 he was the first recipient of the NISRA (National Intercollegiate Squash Racquets Association) lifetime achievement award.
As a teacher and coach, Jack Fairs has few equals. His work has enriched the lives of countless student/athletes. Plato said, "those having torches will pass them onto others", and Jack has done that with enthusiasm and dedication. He has been a role model, par excellence, for aspiring teachers and coaches and continues his commitment to advancing the game of squash.

Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown.
It's getting a bit boring, this saga they've engineered.
They're young men and they feel they should get paid what they're entitled too. Fair enough.
They've drafted in Willie McKay as their agent, no doubt impressed by tales of his life in Monaco and his incredible story of how he made Jean Alain Boumsong a millionaire.
But the players were happy enough with the contract extensions they signed only recently. And that should put Hibs in a position of strength.
Except player power is becoming an unstoppable force and it looks unlikely that this will end happily for Hibs fans.
McKay has already stated that Hibs have proved they are "selling club." Aside from the fact that all clubs, except maybe Chelsea, are now selling clubs, McKay seems to have been going out of his way to antagonise Hibs.
He may be doing right for his clients but the media campaign that the Glasgow tabloids have allowed him to orchestrate has done the public profile of agents few favours.
Brown and Thomson would have been better shutting up and living up to their potential at Hibs this season. The summer would have been a far better time for these discussions.
Instead they've made themselves look like mercenaries dabbling in the ugly side of football.
It seems like being a footballer no longer suffices. Players now want to be painted in the media as spoilt and manipulative as well.
If Thomson and Brown do go they will leave Hibs, like so many others, with nothing but ill will. Many Hibs fans will actually want to see these two favoured sons fail.
They'll have nobody to blame but themselves.
Well done to Lothian and Borders Police for arresting the Hibs and Hearts casuals involved in disturbances in Edinburgh last month.
The eight arrests, made after dawn raids on addresses in the Edinburgh area, are said to be just the beginning of police action after the incident.
Good stuff. Let's hope those found guilty are properly punished and barred from football.
And barred for life. Earlier this month Izak Cowie, a 38 year old nutter and a member of Airdrie's infamous Section B casuals, was banned from every football ground in the UK until 2009.
Leaving court he spoke some rubbish about returning to the game to see Airdrie in the SPL in three years.
He should never get into any football ground again.
The problem of casuals has never really gone away. But for a few years it was underground and, to an extent, out of mind.
If recent events in Edinburgh show that it is returning to the fore then the football authorities should begin to crack down hard. Lifetime bans are a start. Any clubs that aren't seen to be dealing with the problem should face harsh penalties.
There is no room in the game for this brand of violent head case.
Reports in Edinburgh suggest that some of the people who were involved were forty something men who were returning to the battlegrounds of their youth.
Ask yourself what forty year old that would willingly go out and have fight after a football match? And if he chooses to do it he should be locked up.
Football has moved on. Not all the changes have been for the better. But the casual problem has no place in the modern game and no place in modern society.
Chapter 752 in the Tynecastle saga as Valdas Ivanauskas returns to the club and promises to focus on getting three points on Saturday – although at least the hapless Mr Malofeev and his translator managed to avoid dropping into the British manager's cliché handbook.
Still that Valdas is prepared to risk his health to work for Vlad the Impaler and has started making the right noises about Steven Pressley should come as a relief to Hearts fans.
On the park the team needs a victory. Teams they swept past last season are holding them to draws or worse.
Can Valdas reignite the passion in a team that looks disjointed and flat?
Will he be allowed to do it his way or will Romanov continue to have his say? And how many Hearts fans believed Romanov when he said that he doesn't influence team selection?
Will UEFA and the SFA step up investigations into the way Mr Romanov does business?
Will the January sales at Tynecastle make Princes Street look like a ghost town?
Recent events off the park are a step forward. Ivanauskas is a sign of stability. The truce between supporters and owner will settle the team.
But this story is certainly not over. And the unanswered questions might yet point to more gloomy days ahead.
Has Kevin Thomson realised that the nonsense he helped create around Hibs last week was over the top?
After the ridicule he found heaped on him following his farcical Daily Record 'column' last Tuesday, today he was in a more conciliatory mood.
No mention of his mummy and his yearning to free her from the chains of wage slavery.
Rather positive talk about winning silverware and fighting for second place. Even some well placed displays of his Hibee credentials – and his distaste for Hearts.
If this really is a sudden change of heart the reason behind it might well be hidden later in the column. Thomson's half hearted protest about his disappointment with Neil Lennon for trying to get Scott Brown sent off can't conceal the nagging admiration he must feel for the Celtic captain.
Lennon is much maligned by fans up and down the country. Often the criticism is fair. And as Hibs battered Celtic for much of the match Lennon must have wondered why he still puts his body through 90 minutes week after week.
More than once Guillame Beuzelin made Lennon look as lumbering and dimwitted as a carthorse approaching the knacker's yard.
But from somewhere Lennon found the strength to orchestrate the comeback. Referee Mike McCurry will not be proud of the way he allowed the Irishman to dominate him in the second half.
Thomson thought Lennon looked "beaten" when Hibs went two up. Lennon doesn't know the meaning of word. With Beuzelin and Ivan Sproule tiring Hibs needed the pace and work rate of that other, allegedly, want-away Hibee Scott Brown.
Lennon sucked Brown into a personal dual – which they were both lucky didn't result in red cards – and the young midfielder was duly posted missing.
Thomson too, trying to play the captain's role for which he is not yet ready, spent too much energy trying to placate Brown. Lennon and Evander Sno duly took over the midfield.
He didn't score but it was Lennon that hauled Celtic back into this match. If he wonders why he often doesn't get credit for contributions like that he need look no further than the way he taunted Brown after Celtic's equaliser.
Neil Lennon is not a man many people could claim to like as a footballer. Much of his game is psychological. It's ugly. But he gets away with it and it gets his team results.
Physically and mentally he has a strength that Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown lack. They're more likely to discover that strength learning in the heat of the SPL with a wonderfully talented Hibs side than toiling with their old mates Derek Riordan and Ian Murray in the reserves at Parkhead or Ibrox.
Maybe Kevin Thomson has realised that in time to pull back from the brink.

How clean is your home's indoor air?
Musty odors, heavy dust, and dirt tracts around your air vents are signs that professional air duct cleaning may be necessary. Mold may even be present if the air handler and air ducts have not been cleaned in some time.
Nasal allergies are estimated to affect approximately 50 million people in the United States, and its prevalence is increasing affecting as many as 30 percent of adults and up to 40 percent of children. When the indoor air in your home is polluted, your allergy symptoms can get worse.
In the early 90s, we discovered that a large number of homes in Florida had mold in the air ducts and air conditioning system. This lead us to develop the DuctMasters' proprietary air duct cleaning and decontamination process. Our process safely removes mold, dust, bacteria, germs, viruses and airborne particles that make your air-conditioning system unhealthy and inefficient.
If your air ducts are damaged or beyond cleaning, we can effectively repair or replace your air ducts. When your ducts are fiberglass or porous on the inside, Mold Resistant Duct Coating may be required after cleaning to seal the fibers and minimize future mold growth.
Do you have a new or recently cleaned air handler? Our Basic Duct Cleaning Package includes a cleaning of your air ducts according to National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) standards.
Do you want the cleanest air possible in your home? Do you have allergies or asthma? Would you like your home to be 10x cleaner than the air outside? The Deluxe Package (our best value package) is for customers who want the cleanest air possible in their home, including those who suffer from allergy and asthma. This package also includes the installation of a DuctMasters Ultraviolet Light System, which are proven to improve indoor air quality and increase your system's energy efficiency.
Package pricing is per air-conditioning system and includes up to the first 8 ducts and then $59 each additional duct.
With porous or fiberglass duct material, Mold Resistant Duct Coating may be required.

Home >> Vehicular Homicide Sentencing Downgrades (Part 1)
June 4, 2018 by Fred Sisto
Vehicular Homicide Sentencing Downgrades (Part 1)
On March 23, 2018, a three-judge appellate panel decided the Somerset County case of State v. Amy Locane. The principal issue was whether the sentencing court abused its discretion in downgrading the defendant's second-degree vehicular homicide conviction to third-degree when the court credited the defendant's recent sobriety and potential hardship on her children, as opposed to focusing on the severity of the crime.
The Appellate Division held in relevant part: Having decided that defendant's constitutional rights are not violated by reversal of the downgrade, we consider whether it was legally justified. A sentencing court may downgrade a first- or second-degree offense to one degree less for sentencing purposes. The relevant statute provides:
In cases of convictions for crimes of the first or second degree where the court is clearly convinced that the mitigating factors substantially outweigh the aggravating factors and where the interest of justice demands, the court may sentence the defendant to a term appropriate to a crime of one degree lower than that of the crime for which he was convicted. To warrant a downgrade, the court must first find that the mitigating factors substantially outweigh the aggravating factors. Second, the court must find that there are "compelling" reasons" in addition to, and separate from," the mitigating factors, which require the downgrade in the interest of justice. State v. Jones, (App. Div. 1984).
Trial courts often confuse the standards for downgrading a sentence and finding a manifest injustice that justifies probation in lieu of jail for a first or second-degree offense. Sentencing downgrades mean that the defendant will serve a lesser period of state prison incarceration. The latter finding calls for defendants to be spared state prison altogether and sentenced to probation for a first or second-degree crime. A finding of a manifest injustice permits the sentencing court to focus on the offender, as opposed to the offense. Our Appellate Division and Supreme Court have only upheld manifest injustice findings in cases in which the defendant suffers from severe mental impairment.


A few days ago, it was announced that there is a major vulnerability in OpenSSL, known as Heartbleed. ForgeRock customers running enterprise software will not be affected by this vulnerability.
ForgeRock's products (OpenAM, OpenIDM, OpenDJ, OpenIG) do not incorporate openssl. OpenSSL is a commonly used component of open source software and Linux distributions, whereas the vast majority of ForgeRock software runs on the Java platform which uses its own TLS implementation.
Some ForgeRock components use the Mozilla Foundation NSS libraries, which are also not vulnerable to Heartbleed.
Note for developers: the very latest trunk builds of the OpenAM web policy agents will use the OpenSSL provided by the operating system (where available). Therefore it is important to check that you have patched your platforms accordingly.

The New Left?
So what is this about closer co-operation with the centre and words like performance and accountability? LF chairman Biman Bose explains.
Ashis K. Biswas 19 December 2001
Ashis K. Biswas	December 19, 2001 00:00 IST The New Left?
The Sixth Left Front in Bengal has initiated a series of measures not readily compatible with the Left political establishment. Along with the ongoing drive to improve discipline and accountability in government offices, schools and colleges, illegal encroachers have been cleared from the Tolly's nullah (canal) area, while squatters have been evicted from at least four government hospitals and suburban railway tracks. Except for Tolly's nullah area squatters, no compensation has been paid.
The Left government has announced similar projects in Sealdah and Howrah stations as well as the Rabindra Sarobar area, to expedite development projects and improve infrastructure.
What has not been reported in the local media is perhaps more politically significant. Both the form and content of Left-sponsored movements in the state could be in for a major change. When some time ago Left students proposed to block train movements to protest against the fare hike, LF leaders firmly overruled them. Such protests brought misery and suffering for the people and it was better to stick to standard demonstrations, the leaders told them.
Now Biman Bose, the dynamic chairman of the LF, outlines a bolder proposal that he proposes to offer for a larger debate. In an exclusive interview to Outlook, he spelt out his thinking that carries an important message for the Indian Left as a whole.
'Too often, political parties, especially in the Opposition, agitating on any issue, aim at achieving what it seen as a total victory, to secure their demands in toto. I suggest that instead of this all-or-nothing approach, why not be more flexible? The country is passing through a major economic crisis, the world economic situation is no better either. In a class divided scenario, exploitation and injustice will remain.
'No government can possibly meet every demand of the people, despite its best efforts. To move forward, you must also be patient. Even if there is a partial satisfaction of some demands, why prolong agitations endlessly, why not wait for another round of struggle?
'I agree that we (the Left) in the past have carried out such long agitations, but have learnt from our experience. Restraint and consolidation are as important, if not more so, as militancy.'
Brave new words, even if they do not jell with what party secretary Harkishan Singh Surjeet said in 1996. 'The CPI(M)) is the only revolutionary party in India.' With the Left's known penchant for militant agitations on major issues, can Bose guarantee that his thinking will gain currency within the CPI(M) and its mass organs, never mind other Left parties?
Bose is determined. 'I will discuss my ideas with other Left parties. There is no reason to suppose that Leftists do not understand the present complex situation.' What he proposes involves a major shift of tactics for the ruling LF in Bengal, if not its long term strategy, and could trigger an ideological turmoil in the Left.
No prophet outcast, Bose lends his political imprimatur to what is being practised by Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya and his team in the executive sphere. Unlike his other senior colleagues Bhattacharya and state secretary Anil Biswas, Bose did not graduate to party membership through an apprenticeship in the mass organisations. He joined the party directly in his teens.
Recent announcements of Bhattacharya, too are in consonanace with Bose's line. 'We shall not tolerate labour indiscipline or violence: teachers and government employees must fulfil work norms, punctuality and attendance. Rail rokos, and traffic disruptions should not be organised by anyone, they cause much inconvenience to the people.'
Clearly the sixth LF Ministry is determined to override cadre opposition to ensure good governance.
Don't such concepts and slogans take the CPI(M) iedologically closer to the new liberal Left movements in Europe? Bose disagrees. 'I am familiar with new Left ideas. We do not subscribe to some of their formulations. There can be no change in the basic Left concepts. But yes, we have to implement them in our own local circumstances.'
Unlike the CPI(M), the new Left does not rule in any country, except as junior coalition partners in some countries.
Left observers point out that its commitments as a ruling entity are catching up with the LF fast. In the classic sense, Left parties were never geared or structured to run governments for long periods. 'Throughout the eighties, we feared that the Centre would dismiss us any moment, as it did in 1967 and 1969. Before the 2001 Assembly polls, we expected to win narrowly. We feared the Trinamul Congress would push us to the limit. Yet people voted for us in larger numbers than we hoped for,' admits a CPI(M) state committee member.
Says Bhattacharya, 'This time (in 2001) people looked for a change and we heeded the warning, implying that a pracactive administratrive policy was now a pre-condition for political survival.' This lends meaning to his slogan,. 'Do it now'.
According to an observer, 'The new Left argument is, if rule we must in Bengal, let us make a good job of it. Jyoti Basu had voiced many of today's slogans, specially about better discipline in hospitals and offices. But he never followed them up. Naturally no one listened to him.
'Now rid of Basu's shadow, Bose and Co. exercise a more rigorous political coordination. Ministers are grilled at LF meetings, analysing the nitty-gritty of official business which never happened before.'
The shift within the Bengal Left is defined also by its need to survive in an exceedingly hostile milieu. Socialism has collapsed in the former USSR and East Europe. China and Cuba remain Left role models, but there has occurred a sea change in their economic policies over the years. 'The Indian Left too must change, adapt to new realities and survive or perish,' says veteran observer Charubrata Ray.
The present CPI(M) leadership in Delhi and Kolkata have learnt their lessons from the Chinese model. Case studies are Basu's concession to multinationals and foreign capital in the eighties.
After Basu, the Left's national policies specially its anti-Centre approach is also under close review. Despite protests against the saffronisation of education in India, Bhattacharya talks openly of 'close cooperation with the Centre', adding that 'We do not seek any confrontation.' His personal rapport with Prime Minister Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, Pramod Mahajan, Sushma Swaraj, Ram Naik and others is common knowledge.
Naturally, doubts have been expressed about the CPI(M)'s restraint, both among the party's Left allies and the Opposition. The TMC leaders point out that even recently Basu had reminded workers that they should not give up their right to strike.
Mamata Banerjee said 'Those who specialised in disruptive agitations have woken up after three decades!' The CPI and the RSP maintained that at times, agitations that impinged on civic rights became unavoidable.
Bose admits, 'We had carried out such agitations earlier, but that does not mean we cannot explore other means of protest!'
Bose, Bhattacharya, and Biswas are consciously engineering a major image change for the Left; from a non-performing dormant, declining force that exists only as a truculent petitioner before the Centre, to a performing, accountable political entity that could highlight its own achievements.
Major features of this image-restructuring agenda are implementing time-bound programmes with mass involvement and targetted at an improvement in public life.
Basu did not care for middle class sensibilities, alienating the educated. CPI(M) leaders succeeding him are specifically addressing middle class grievances.

Poly(dipropargyl terephthalate), a high molecular weight linear soluble polymer, was prepared by the so-called oxidative polymerization by oxidation of the two terminal hydrogen atoms of dipropargyl terephthalate. The polymer undergoes easy thermal and radiation cross-linking via solid (crystalline) state topochemical polymerization of its two conjugated triple bonds (diacetylene linkages) of the main chain without changes in polymer crystalline lattice. This type of polymer appears attractive for preparation of (self-) cross-linkable thermosetting fibres.

CONCLUSIONS: Measurements of plasma normetanephrine and metanephrine are useful in screening for pheochromocytomas in patients with a familial predisposition to these tumors [1].
One patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease had a normal plasma normetanephrine concentration; this patient had a very small adrenal tumor (<1 cm) [1].
Plasma normetanephrine and metanephrine for detecting pheochromocytoma in von Hippel-Lindau disease and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 [1].
The concentrations of free and total normetanephrine (NMN) were determined in the plasma of normotensives and patients with primary hypertension and pheochromocytoma [2].
MEN 2 patients all had elevated plasma concentrations of the epinephrine metabolite, metanephrine, whereas VHL patients showed specific increases in the norepinephrine metabolite, normetanephrine [3].
The method is applicable to the relatively low amounts of normetanephrine (100-600 micrograms/24 h) and metanephrine (50-400 micrograms/24 h) found in normal subjects and patients with depressive disorders or hypertension [4].
Psychosocial factors accounted for 37% of the link between MS and normetanephrine output, and 7% to 19% for CAA [5].
Urinary excretion of the norepinephrine metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol (MHPG) and normetanephrine (NMR) was measured in Tourette's Syndrome (TS) patients and in control subjects matched for age and education [6].
The cremaster skeletal muscle of anesthetized rats was acutely denervated and suspended in a Krebs bath containing cocaine, normetanephrine, and propranolol to block uptake1, uptake2, and beta-receptors, respectively [7].
The uptake and storage of 3H-norepinephrine by neural crest cultures containing CA+ cells were inhibited in the presence of desmethylimipramine and by incubation at 0 degrees C, but were unaffected by normetanephrine [8].
Compounds devoid of significant alpha-adrenergic activity, such as pyrocatechol, 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, normetanephrine, and D-lysergic acid, did not effectively compete for [3H]dihydroergocryptine binding sites [9].
In combination with I-MIBG scintigraphy, platelet norepinephrine had a sensitivity of 100%, plasma norepinephrine/MIBG of 97.1%, total urine normetanephrine/MIBG of 96.6%, and urine norepinephrine/MIBG of 95.3% [10].
CONCLUSIONS: The authors propose the hypothesis that drugs or other agents that increase levels of normetanephrine or otherwise inhibit the extraneuronal monoamine transporter, uptake 2, in the brain will speed up the clinical effects of norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressant drugs [11].
CONCLUSIONS: The tests of choice to establish the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma are urinary normetanephrine and platelet norepinephrine [10].
Measurements of plasma-free normetanephrine and metanephrine provide a sensitive test for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma but may fail to detect tumors that produce predominantly dopamine [12].
Tissue concentrations of dihydroxyphenylalanine, metanephrine, normetanephrine, vanillylmandelic acid, and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylglycol were determined in 29 normal adrenal medullas, 13 benign pheochromocytomas and 6 malignant pheochromocytomas, respectively [13].
The values for subjects with pheochromocytoma varied from 1.5 to 27.5 (mean = 9.9) microgram/mg creatinine for NMN and 0.10 to 1.60 (mean = 0.86) microgram/mg creatine for MN [14].
One patient, a 21-year-old woman taking mesalamine for ulcerative colitis, had a remarkably elevated urinary normetanephrine level, which resulted in the initial misdiagnosis of a 10-cm right adrenal incidentaloma as a pheochromocytoma [15].
The disproportionate decrease in excretion of normetanephrine by patients with MSA is consistent with observations in experimental animals that O-methylation is the primary metabolic route for active released norepinephrine, whereas deamination is the predominant metabolic route for intraneuronal degradation of the catecholamine [16].
Plasma NMN (r = 0.27; P = 0.02) but not MN positively correlated with age, whereas only plasma catecholamines (and not metanephrines) were positively correlated (P <0.05) with diastolic blood pressure [17].
In this method for measuring metanephrine and normetanephrine in urine, they are freed from their conjugates by hydrolysis in acid, neutralized, and isolated on a cation-exchange resin [18].
The level of the initial methylation product, normetanephrine, also showed a biphasic decline, which did not correspond to that of [3H]noradrenaline but rather was faster throughout the experiment [19].
4. NA (10(-2) M by pressure ejection) did not alter membrane potential even in the presence of NMN and DMI (each 10(-6) M) [20].
Compounds such as dihydroxyphenylaline, dihydroxymandelic acid, normetanephrine, pyrocatechol, and phentolamine which are structurally related to beta-adrenergic agents, but are devoid of beta-adrenergic physiologicl effects in adipocytes, did not compete for the binding sites [21].
Conjugated normetanephrine in human and rat plasma and erythrocytes [22].
Microinjection of opioids into the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis of the rat: analgesia and increase in the normetanephrine level in the spinal cord [23].
In this group the meningeal cells were unaffected by the treatment, and the morphology of the dentate gyrus was normal 30 days p.i. of 6-OHDA plus NMN [24].
We postulate that the higher urinary outputs of norepinephrine and its metabolite, normetanephrine, reflect dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system in depression [25].
We describe a procedure for the direct measurement of metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NMN) in hydrolyzed urine, using HPLC with coulometric array detection [26].
We normalized values for urinary 24-h excretion of metanephrine, normetanephrine, and 3-methoxytyramine by dividing by an age- and sex-specific reference range [27].
Children with ADHD alone had lower NE/NMN and EPI/metanephrine ratios compared to controls [28].
Children with TBI and ADHD excreted significantly more normetanephrine in resting situations and less epinephrine (EPI) after cognitive stress, and showed a decreased blink rate compared to normal controls [29].
The Ki values calculated by Marquardt non-linear least squares regression analysis and Hunter-Downs method, respectively, were normetanephrine: 2.75 microM and 3.47 microM, and corticosterone: 1.52 microM and 1.44 microM [30].
The excretion of normetanephrine, a marker for sympathetic nervous activity, was reduced during ST in COX-1(+/+) (6.9+/-0.9 versus 3.2+/-0.6 g . g(-1) creatinine . 10(-3); P<0.01) [31].
Normetanephrine, the COMT-dependent metabolite of NE, was formed in large quantities during post-uptake incubation [32].
The trauma patients differed from the elective neurosurgery patients with regard to D-dimer levels, PT, PTT, protein C levels, and urinary normetanephrine concentrations [33].
4. Both clorgyline (a selective MAO-A inhibitor) and selegiline (a selective MAO-B inhibitor) reduced the formation of dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG), DOMA and O-methylated-deaminated metabolites (OMDA), and increased that of normetanephrine (NMN) [34].
A cytosol fraction of chorio-decidua was incubated with [14C]-S-adenosyl-L-methionine and normetanephrine for 60 min to measure PNMT activity [35].
Urinary normetanephrine and metanephrine measured by radioimmunoassay for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma: utility of 24-hour and random 1-hour urine determinations [36].
At 4 weeks, plasma levels of NE and DOPEG were lower (p less than 0.01), whereas levels of DOMA and NMN were higher (p less than 0.02 and p less than 0.001, respectively) in the 1K1C group than the control group [37].
We report the use of liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection to determine plasma concentrations of normetanephrine (NMN) and metanephrine (MN) [38].
Evaluation of urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) kits by comparison with isotope dilution mass spectrometry [39].
Elevation of daytime norepinephrine and normetanephrine with return to control levels following tracheostomy implies increased sympathetic activity throughout the day [40].
