Subject: [Goanet] Important announcement on Goanet's filters
This is it folks. The last 8 years have been rough and I will not tolerate such
obscenities against the German soccer team for the following 4 years.
I have no choice but to update the goanet filters to block out all
anti-german/pro-brazilian comments on goanet. We have young impressionable minds on
this mailing list and it is time to educate all our young goanese children that
Brazilch is not the center of the soccer universe. It is very troubling to see so many
goanetters (not to mention every member of my family) have this misguided notion of
Brazilian soccer. The rot has to stop now!
Goanetters who fail to abide by these policies will be made to wear a German soccer
jersey and chant Deutschland uber alles every time they post on goanet.

Dear all,
Just a short note to say hello from New York.
Been to the Goan event at the Maharaja Restaurant.
It was an absolute plasure to meet all the fine
people. These events help to put a FACE to the
e-addresses.
After 30+ years...it was good to see, among others,
Maureen Sequeira and finally ... George Pinto, Tony
Barros, Venantius Pinto, Eric Pinto, Basilo Martins
and Allan Deguerra
Victor Rangel-Ribeiro was temporarily indisposed and
couldn't make it
Took some pics.....will load them only when we reach
home base.
We were hoping to meet Wilma & Bambino Martins but
have a family function to attend tomorrow... so we
will have to leave the peer review for another time!
It was a good Goan function. Everybody appeared to
enjoy themselves.
Congratulations to the organisers.
Good night from the East Coast
ema and jose colaco

Subject: [Goanet] re: 4 questions for Margaret
Margaret Mascarenhas' replies to Cecil's 4 Questions
are to the point.
Here in Canada, columnists are given bigger scope to
get their views to the readers. In recent cases, two
columnists were fired because they wrote something
that was unkindly to the ruling Liberal government.
Similarly, the publisher of the Ottawa citizen Russell
Mills, was fired. The firing of the publisher raised
many questions, including mention in the parliament.
It is learnt that the paper carried an editorial
unfavourable to the prime minister who's a friend of
the owners of CanWest, the group the owns Ottawa
Citizen and many big papers across Canada.
The publisher said he has right to fire his employers.
But it has sparked a debate in the journalistic
circles.
Even the publisher of Canada's biggest paper, The
Toronto Star, said the firing of such a senior
journalist who spent more than three decades at the
paper and is considered a disciplined journalist was
wrong.
But the group denied Mills' firing had anything to do
with its friendship with PM Jean Chretien. Anyway,
this has also raised the possibility of MPs demanding
the governemnt set up an inquiry into media
concentration.
Another columnist, Ashok Chandwani, who incidentally
is of Indian origin, was also fired from his long-time
job at the Montreal Gazette. The details of his firing
are sketchy. I have tried to contact him, but unable
to do so till now.
Similarly, Lawrence Martin, a respected columnist and
biographer of the prime minister, lost his job at the
National Post, another paper owned by CanWest.
Here's an extract from another Indo-Canadian, Haroon
Siddiqui, Emeritus Editorial Page Editor, of The
Toronto Star, "It is not size alone that has Canadians
riled up. Rather it is the toxic brew of a vast empire
run authoritatively by its owners. The Asper family of
Winnipeg is violating Canada's cherished tradition of
a free media.
CanWest's 14 metropolitan dailies must carry head
office-written editorials on issues close to the
Aspers' heart, such as supporting the governments of
Jean Chr�tien and Ariel Sharon. The papers are also
under orders not to editorially contradict those
positions, eroding regional voices on those topics.
CanWest staff contravene or criticize company policies
at their peril. The firing of Ottawa Citizen publisher
Russ Mills proved that, as also the earlier departures
of Montreal Gazette publisher Michael Goldbloom,
Halifax Daily News editor Bill Turpin and many
columnists.
CanWest has spawned a culture of fear and
self-censorship among journalists. This has already
translated into shamelessly one-sided coverage and
commentary on the Middle East.
News of controversies involving CanWest itself is
routinely blacked out in company newspapers and TV
stations. Or reported with a corporate spin.
The erosion in the fundamental freedom of journalists
to report without fear of intimidation has prompted
calls for an inquiry into concentration of ownership
and journalistic independence."
Over lunch one day I asked Siddiqui why he didn't get
the Managing Editor's job after he was the Editorial
Page Editor and then shifted as Emeritus Editor, he
told me that he prefers to be a columnist because it
gives him a better opportunity to express his views
instead of day-to-day running of a newspaper.
I have read Margaret's column and I support her stand.
I don't want to repeat what Margaret said in reply to
Cecil 4 questions. I think I read on goanet either
from Cecil himself or someone else that Cecil is a
journalist or is involved with the media. That he
doesn't understand the concept of "censorship" and
it's application in journalistic practices surprises
me. Mixing his own issue regarding goanet and
Margaret's issue with GT, is nothing more than
confusion compounded.
In a recent post to goanet, he told me "Ignorance is
Bliss". In his case, it's so true.

Subject: [Goanet] Erratic power affects plans to install medical equipment.

Erratic power affects plans to install medical equipment
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erratic power supply has caused a setback to plans of Goan doctors
to install sophisticated imported medical equipment.
Due to frequent disruptions most of the equipment gets damaged
and physicians are facing losses and hardships.
Health conscious Goans now will have to go to hospitals situated
in Mangalore, Bangalore and Mumbai where the power supply is more stable.
Dr Anand alias Salil Dalvi of Imaging Point who had installed US machines
in his clinics has genuine grievances against the Power department.
He laments "In Mumbai we have problems like sewage, gutter and others
but no power problems at all." He is of the opinion that these power
fluctuations
could be rectified. "Imagine if power trips while I am scanning an accident
patient
and you know how people react with us. The most important thing with us
is that our equipment costs not only lakhs but crores and if something goes
wrong
with the power supply we lose heavily. The cost of a small part begins with
lakhs of rupees,"
he explained.
The Bone Densitometry machine for testing contents of calcium in a bone
was burnt down due to power tripping, laments another doctor.
"I brought engineers from GE to test and got fitted a special Servo stabiliser
from Mumbai but till date nothing is done," he complains.
The doctors feel that if the Power Department in big cities like Mumbai,
Bangalore can provide uninterrupted power supply, then why can't the
State Electricity Department supply power to a small state of Goa?
Dr Pramod Talaulikar, from Shrimati Laxmibai Talaulikar memorial hospital
near Boca de Vaca said since their equipment works exclusively on power,
due to frequent fluctuations in power supply they cannot perform emergency
operations or do trans urethral surgery of prostrate or bladder.
He explained that without continuous power supply they are handicapped.
He felt that the government must do something to do away this menace.
The doctors felt that if they switch over to generators, they would have
to shell out extra money which would be an unnecessary burden.
Dr Ravindra Revonkar, a radiologist from the city has also got his UPS burnt
and due to low voltage on many occasions films are under exposed.
He said most of the time there is no normal power supply
as a result X-ray machines don't function.
Costly machines like image intensifier TV, screening machines,
equipment to test barium meal, ulser barium anaemia,
pace maker and other sophisticated machines require uninterrupted power supply.
The former president of the Indian Medical Association, Dr Jayant Bhandare
said almost every day we have power problems. Due to this one problem
we have to face several other problems too.
The president of Goa Medical Association, Goa, Dr Deelip Bhandare
who looks after the renowned Bhandare hospital narrates the same story.
