[Goanet-News] MANGALORE: 'Help Konkani Wikipedia come out of incubation'
'Help Konkani Wikipedia come out of incubation' Mangalore, Sept 13, 2013, DHNS: *The functioning of the free online encyclopedia, ‘Wikipedia,’ is like a true democracy. It is for the people and by the people, said The Centre for Internet and Society Programme Officer (Indian Languages) Pavanaja U B.* He was speaking after inaugurating, Wikipedia Editing Workshop, organised by Aloysius Institute of Management and Information Technology (AIMIT) in association with The Centre for Internet and Society in Mangalore on Friday. Stressing on the need for more Wikipedia contributors and editors from India, he explained to students the simplicity of creating a account in Wikipedia and editing articles. Wikipedia has 50 crore unique visitors and three crore are from India. There are 6,000 editors registered from India, of which, around 2000 people edit in Indian vernacular languages, and only 450 are very active, he said. There are around 98,000 odd articles in Hindi, 14,600 odd articles in Kannada. However, Konkani Wikipedia is in incubation for the last seven years, as there are only 133 articles and very few registered editors. “To get it out of incubation, many should write Konkani articles for Wikipedia,” he said and added that out of 133 Konkani articles in Wikipedia, over 100 are in Devnagari script, 31 in Roman and just two in Kannada script and none in Malayalam. Pavanaja added that being a contributor and editor of Wikipedia, will be a positive add on to ones resume. Today's IT companies need logical thinkers and problem solvers. Writing for Wikipedia, enables one to think and research, hence benefiting one’s personally, he said. He also regretted that some people try to vandalise Wikipedia, with disruptive editing and deleting articles. Though, this will be corrected by other Wikipedia users instantly, it wastes precious time. Everyone benefits from Wikipedia, hence the contributor should have a positive outlook with regard to helping people and sharing knowledge, he said He further added, that maintaining a neutral point of view, giving significant coverage and writing on notable topics is important. One should give opposing views and no personal views should be reflected, he added. St Aloysius College Rector Fr Denzil Lobo said that the present generation is lucky to have knowledge at their finger tips, and they should make the best use of it. AIMIT Director Rev Fr Pradeep Sequeira, Wikpedia Volunteer Harriet Vidhyasagar among others were present. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/356925/039help-konkani-wikipedia-come-incubation039.html -- FN Land +91-832-240-9490 Cell +91-982-212-2436 f...@goa-india.org

[Goanet] Public voice stifled by the Opposition Leader -- By Nisser Dias
*By Nisser Dias 1stOct 2013 * * * *Public voice stifled by the Opposition Leader* The only opposition to the BJP led government in the state seem to the same people that have voted it to power as the principal Opposition party namely the Congress has abdicated its responsibilities and sacrificed its role at the altar of power. The Opposition Leader Pratapsing Rane does not seem to know his role as he is often seen as more accommodating of the ruling BJP then his own party colleagues. He agreed to the government’s decision of appointing Information Commissioners even though one them lacked the requisite qualification. It required an activist lawyer to set things right. And now Rane has gone and agreed to curtail the number of starred and un-starred questions in the forth coming assembly. Fatorda independent MLA Vijay Sardessai was very much right when he said that he is quiet on attacking the government because he wants to expose the Congress for going soft on the government. The decision to curtail starred and un-starred questions seems to have endorsed his view. Sardessai further criticized the Opposition Leader’s decision as a mechanism to restrict legislative freedom terming it unjustified, undemocratic and meant to stifle the voice of the Opposition. Maybe the longest serving former chief minister does not have experience in being an Opposition Leader as most part of his political career he has been the chief minister and for the last five years he was Speaker of the Assembly. The other aspect could be that he has not done his homework about the functioning of the Manohar Parrikar government and hence does not have the right questions to put the government on the back foot. The difference with the BJP or rather Manohar Parrikar and the Congressmen is that the former studies issues and keeps close tab on the functioning of the government and then tries to embarrass them on the floor of the house. Infact prior to the assembly sessions the BJP conducts mock assembly for its legislators on tackling the government during assembly sessions. But I have my doubts that the Congressmen can ever come together for such an exercise as within the party one-upmanship is their motto. Manohar Parrikar would have never allowed such a consideration if it had to come from the government if he was in the Opposition. And there lies the difference when Congress is in power they get all the work done from the IAS officers and other government officers and then present it as their own and hence do not have the habit of studying the files or issues. This is clearly reflected in Opposition Leader’s capability of taking on the government and thus the reason for capping assembly questions. If one is to believe former Education minister and St. Cruz MLA Atanasio Babush Monserrate the decision of the Opposition Leader to cap the starred questions to three and un-starred to fifteen was not discussed, it exposes the functioning of the Pratapsing Rane as being autocratic and overbearing who does not take his party-men into confidence. Monserrate has taken the battle to Opposition Leader’s door steps with his comments that nothing is happening to check the government and those who are afraid should stand aside. He has gone to the extent of saying that some people are there just for positions. This is a clear indication at whom he was taking a pot-shot. As rightly pointed out by St. Cruz MLA – public’s voice should re-sound in the Assembly through the Opposition. If that is not being done or the Opposition Leader gives a clean chit to the government then there is something wrong with the Congress, within the Congress and the Opposition Leader. There is so much resentment against this government be it the Law and order or Mopa issue or the turmoil in the Education department, in the cancellation of recruitment in various department, over off shore casino, illegal mining and stoppage of mining, etc. but the Opposition Leader allows a free passage to the government during the forthcoming assembly. The Opposition should have cornered the government on the Law and Order when BJP’s own MLA has said that the situation has to improve. The government should have been made to answer on all the promises and U-turns. It is an opportunity lost. And in return the Opposition Leader Pratapsing Rane receives accolades from the BJP as being a mature politician and a statesman. A ‘Statesman’ who has played into the hands of the government and offered the Congress party as a sacrificial lamb. A ‘Statesman’ against whom the BJP while in Opposition during the erstwhile Digambar Kamat led government had moved a No-Confidence Motion for allegedly being partisan towards the government as a Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly and now overnight he becomes a statesman for the BJP. A ‘Stateman’ for playing second fiddle to the

Homework well done. Beautiful Scenes and stage setting will attract higher marks. Band including background music was good too (see band Pic in the end). Young Sara Fernandes did a role of a Hindu maid was so natural that anybody will take her as Hindu girl. She is also good at singing, her song 'xinkop' in school uniform appreciated by all with louder applause. The Playwright Mr. Socorro Pereira did the role of the grandfather.

Is it that the Saffron bjp Fascist Dictatorship is already here? Shame on you Mr Pratapsingh Rane! Is your mouth sealed? Why should you be paid any salary at all, for doing or saying Nothing? Nascimento. From: Nisser Dias nisserd...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, 1 October 2013 3:31 PM Subject: [Goanet] Public voice stifled by the Opposition Leader -- By Nisser Dias *Public voice stifled by the Opposition Leader* The only opposition to the BJP led government in the state seem to the same people that have voted it to power as the principal Opposition party namely the Congress has abdicated its responsibilities and sacrificed its role at the altar of power. The Opposition Leader Pratapsing Rane does not seem to know his role as he is often seen as more accommodating of the ruling BJP then his own party colleagues. He agreed to the government’s decision of appointing Information Commissioners even though one them lacked the requisite qualification. It required an activist lawyer to set things right. And now Rane has gone and agreed to curtail the number of starred and un-starred questions in the forth coming assembly. Fatorda independent MLA Vijay Sardessai was very much right when he said that he is quiet on attacking the government because he wants to expose the Congress for going soft on the government. The decision to curtail starred and un-starred questions seems to have endorsed his view. Sardessai further criticized the Opposition Leader’s decision as a mechanism to restrict legislative freedom terming it unjustified, undemocratic and meant to stifle the voice of the Opposition. Maybe the longest serving former chief minister does not have experience in being an Opposition Leader as most part of his political career he has been the chief minister and for the last five years he was Speaker of the Assembly. The other aspect could be that he has not done his homework about the functioning of the Manohar Parrikar government and hence does not have the right questions to put the government on the back foot. The difference with the BJP or rather Manohar Parrikar and the Congressmen is that the former studies issues and keeps close tab on the functioning of the government and then tries to embarrass them on the floor of the house. Infact prior to the assembly sessions the BJP conducts mock assembly for its legislators on tackling the government during assembly sessions. But I have my doubts that the Congressmen can ever come together for such an exercise as within the party one-upmanship is their motto. Manohar Parrikar would have never allowed such a consideration if it had to come from the government if he was in the Opposition. And there lies the difference when Congress is in power they get all the work done from the IAS officers and other government officers and then present it as their own and hence do not have the habit of studying the files or issues. This is clearly reflected in Opposition Leader’s capability of taking on the government and thus the reason for capping assembly questions. If one is to believe former Education minister and St. Cruz MLA Atanasio Babush Monserrate the decision of the Opposition Leader to cap the starred questions to three and un-starred to fifteen was not discussed, it exposes the functioning of the Pratapsing Rane as being autocratic and overbearing who does not take his party-men into confidence. Monserrate has taken the battle to Opposition Leader’s door steps with his comments that nothing is happening to check the government and those who are afraid should stand aside. He has gone to the extent of saying that some people are there just for positions. This is a clear indication at whom he was taking a pot-shot. As rightly pointed out by St. Cruz MLA – public’s voice should re-sound in the Assembly through the Opposition. If that is not being done or the Opposition Leader gives a clean chit to the government then there is something wrong with the Congress, within the Congress and the Opposition Leader. There is so much resentment against this government be it the Law and order or Mopa issue or the turmoil in the Education department, in the cancellation of recruitment in various department, over off shore casino, illegal mining and stoppage of mining, etc. but the Opposition Leader allows a free passage to the government during the forthcoming assembly. The Opposition should have cornered the government on the Law and Order when BJP’s own MLA has said that the situation has to improve. The government should have been made to answer on all the promises and U-turns. It is an opportunity lost. And in return the Opposition Leader Pratapsing Rane receives accolades from the BJP as being a mature politician and a statesman. A ‘Statesman’ who has played into the hands of the government and offered the Congress party as a

The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is introduced into the body on a biologically active molecule. Three-dimensional images of tracer concentration within the body are then constructed by computer analysis. In modern scanners, three dimensional imaging is often accomplished with the aid of a CT X-ray scan performed on the patient during the same session, in the same machine. If the biologically active molecule chosen for PET is FDG, an analogue of glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged will indicate tissue metabolic activity by virtue of the regional glucose uptake. Use of this tracer to explore the possibility of cancer metastasis (i.e., spreading to other sites) is the most common type of PET scan in standard medical care (90% of current scans). However, on a minority basis, many other radiotracers are used in PET to image the tissue concentration of many other types of molecules of interest.

Kuhl, Luke Chapman and Roy Edwards in the late 1950s. Their work later led to the design and construction of several tomographic instruments at the University of Pennsylvania. Tomographic imaging techniques were further developed by Michel Ter-Pogossian, Michael E. Phelps and others at Washington University School of Medicine.[2][3] Work by Gordon Brownell, Charles Burnham and their associates at the Massachusetts General Hospital beginning in the 1950s contributed significantly to the development of PET technology and included the first demonstration of annihilation radiation for medical imaging.[4] Their innovations, including the use of light pipes and volumetric analysis, have been important in the deployment of PET imaging. In 1961, James Robertson and his associates at Brookhaven National Laboratory built the first single-plane PET scan, nicknamed the head-shrinker.[5] One of the factors most responsible for the acceptance of positron imaging was the development of radiopharmaceuticals. In particular, the development of labeled 2-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose (2FDG) by the Brookhaven group under the direction of Al Wolf and Joanna Fowler was a major factor in expanding the scope of PET imaging.[6] The compound was first administered to two normal human volunteers by Abass Alavi in August 1976 at the University of Pennsylvania. Brain images obtained with an ordinary (non-PET) nuclear scanner demonstrated the concentration of FDG in that organ. Later, the substance was used in dedicated positron tomographic scanners, to yield the modern procedure. The logical extension of positron instrumentation was a design using two

[Goanet] MILLIONS FLEE OBAMACARE
MILLIONS FLEE OBAMACARE UNITED STATES (The Borowitz Report)—Millions of Tea Party loyalists fled the United States in the early morning hours today, seeking what one of them called “the American dream of liberty from health care.” Harland Dorrinson, 47, a tire salesman from Lexington, Kentucky, packed up his family and whatever belongings he could fit into his Chevy Suburban just hours before the health-insurance exchanges opened, joining the Tea Party’s Freedom Caravan with one goal in mind: escape from Obamacare. “My father didn’t have health care and neither did my father’s father before him,” he said. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let my children have it.” But after driving over ten hours to the Canadian border, Mr. Dorrinson was dismayed to learn that America’s northern neighbor had been in the iron grip of health care for decades. “The border guard was so calm when he told me, as if it was the most normal thing in the world,” he said. “It’s like he was brainwashed by health care.” Turning away from Canada, Mr. Dorrinson joined a procession of Tea Party cars heading south to Mexico, noting, “They may have drug cartels and narcoterrorism down there, but at least they’ve kept health care out.” Mr. Dorrinson was halfway to the southern border before he heard through the Tea Party grapevine that Mexico, too, has public health care, as do Great Britain, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, Slovenia, and dozens of other countries to which he had considered fleeing. Undaunted, Mr. Dorrinson said he had begun looking into additional countries, like Chad and North Korea, but he expressed astonishment at a world seemingly overrun by health care. “It turns out that the United States is one of the last countries on earth to get it,” he said. “It makes me proud to be an American.”

Re: [Goanet] Parrikar-Vijay bhai bhai? -- By Nisser Dias
Will our Independent Vijay Sardessai respond to this? He lead the Rally in Margao late last year against Mopa and For Dabolim and spoke against many of Parrikar's programs. Vijay; are you an opportunist, a Feku? Please explain what values and what Issues you stand for, NOW. Nascimento From: Nisser Dias nisserd...@gmail.com To:Sent: Thursday, 12 September 2013 5:53 PM Subject: [Goanet] Parrikar-Vijay bhai bhai? -- By Nisser Dias *Manohar Parrikar – Vijay Sadessai bhai bhai?* The recent political development of chief minister Manohar Parrikar swaying and leaning towards Fatorda MLA Vijay Sardessai has raised a lot of eyebrows simply because both the personalities are poles apart ideologically, politically and in outlook. But then how true is the saying that politics make strange bed-fellows so also in politics there are no permanent friends or enemies. Former Fatorda MLA Damodar Naik stepped into quagmire by outplaying his hand or rather he learnt the hard way that in politics nobody can be trusted. Have we forgotten statements of chief minister before the 2012 assembly elections that he would not like to form the government with the likes of Mickky Pachecos and Vijay Sardessais? But today Manohar Parrikar seems to be cozying up to Fatorda MLA by sacrificing his own party colleague. Sardessai on the other who was still vociferous in his opposition of the BJP government has suddenly invoked ‘Tapasya’. Former chief minister Luizinho Faleiro had used it and was rewarded by the party High Command. Since Sardessai is his own High and Low command being an independent MLA seems to have been promised rewards by the government for his silence. And the incentives are said to be developmental work in Fatorda and the MLA has demanded that it be completed before the Lusofonio games slated for November as the lone international stadium lies in his constituency. Of course shrewd that he is Vijay Sardessai is likely to extend the deadline till the parliamentary elections in 2014 as the BJP will need Sardessai’s supporters to vote for their candidate since there is an alleged rift between Damu and the BJP over his candidature for the parliamentary polls. Among the developmental works Vijay is most likely to demand beautification of the Fatorda lake which is being opposed by former MLA’s camp. If the government gives in to this demand then it will be seen as a slap on Damu’s face. Undoubtedly Vijay is playing his political cards damn well so as to isolate his political foe from the BJP. On the other hand Damu Naik being young and ambitious out-played his hand by resorting to gimmicks like opening a facebook page to demand party ticket to contest the parliamentary elections, knowing very well that advocate Narendra Sawaikar was the party’s or rather Manohar Parrikar’s backed candidate. For the BJP their former legislator is a spent force and feels that his supporters and well-wishers can be weaned away easily by the party internal machinations. Politicians like Damu should have realized by now that if you are not in power you automatically become a non-entity in the political circles. This has been happening in the Congress for decades now and BJP is no different. Having said that I failed to understand why defeated legislators want to immediately contest parliamentary elections. They should realise that the voters of their assembly constituency have lost faith in them, what makes them think they can be successful at the parliamentary elections where the constituency is much bigger. Only politician who did not aspire to contest parliamentary elections immediately after his defeat was Luizinho Faleiro who instead undertook party work and proved his mantle to the party big-wigs. Now continuing to dwell on the newly found friendship between unlike personalities. Both have realised that attacking each other they are only strengthening the Congress but if they join hands the government is spared from criticism and censure from one quarter, at the same time the independent MLA gets funding to carry out development in his constituency. Hence it is win-win situation for both. But the question is how long this relation is going to last. It is doubtful that this relationship is built on trust and faith, to me it looks like it is laid more on the foundation of ‘what-can-I–get-out-it’ and hence it is not going to go beyond parliamentary elections 2014. And ultimately Fatorda MLA is likely to get the lion’s share in the deal, that is, he is going to get developmental work underway in his constituency and major victory would be isolation of Damu from the BJP. The government will be spared of almost 50 percent of criticism and receive some share of votes from MLA’s camp. Even Vijay himself cannot promise the BJP that all those who had voted for his success would cast their franchise for another candidate even if supported by him. The question that remains now is how Damu will react
