Medical papers dated even from 1960s are available online. This is nonsense. Please see for example that the following paper from 1974 cited in Pubmed/Medline is not available online, and it has nothing to do with Linoli, miracles or religion: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4842403 Contrast that with this paper of mine from 2010 that is freely available online: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21152340 4- According to the report Santosh claims to be in possession, what was it then. Why does he not specify what is stated? Cannot think of something plausible? I have already mentioned what is stated in the Linoli paper, and provided my interpretation in the following Goanet post: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2011-February/205418.html One additional thing that I forgot to mention is that it also uses an antiquated, outdated and highly inadequate (by modern scientific standards) zonal precipitation test to make one of its claims. 5- If that is so, why was a review of this report not published with correct interpretation of findings? Scientists do not write reviews of poor quality papers published in obscure or non-peer-reviewed publications.

Re: [Goanet] Fwd: Rahejas more important than Goans
Why should Rahejas or any other real estate developer not be more important to Digambar or any CM for that matter? Goans are making the right noises at the right time and Digubab is enjoying every little bit of it. Shortly we will have yet another entertaining road show by Goycho Rakhondarancho Avaz. Goans need to increase their noise decibels on the street so that Digubab survives and makes enough before the next election. After all we have an abundance of 'ded xanne' unguided missiles that can reach anywhere and go to any length with no remorse whatsoever. So, Goans press the race pedal and let the acceleration of noise abound. It is always a now or never situation for the last 60 years. -Soter
[Goanet] Evolution of Slums
Evolution of Slums It's a matter of great concern that our present Chief Minister is taking great interest in the development of his vote bank at Monti dongor in Margao than niz goemkars as a whole.Few years back there was nothing at Monti Dongor,it all started with zonpoddpatti's and than the legalisation of the same with the great help of Dighu bab Now one can witness similar zonpoddpatti's at the Margao district hospital construction site near KTC and as assembly elections are fast approaching Digambar Kamat will not mind legalizing them too.Such slums are always been considered very important by our present Chief minister and soon they will be given the VIP treatment to get their voter's cards done at the earliest.Long live such goan ministers who are known for selling our rights to the Migrants in Goa! The great freedon fighter Flaviano Dias and his 600 workers are more interested to get the Portuguese names canceled in Goa rather than taking interest in fighting against the issues like above.Flaviano Dias should first get his own name canceled and then think about cancelling other Portuguese names in Goa as his own name is a Portuguese name.

[Goanet] Goanet Reader: The Legend of *Xepto* by Augusto Pinto
Cheers for My Dears: The Legend of *Xepto* by Augusto Pinto My Dears, You'll never believe this, but the other day I happened to pass by Purgatory when I suddenly saw *Xepto*, my fellow villager from Moira. Purgatory is not Goa's latest night club, but a kind of waiting room between *Sorg* and *Infern* where confused souls are kept while the Authorities decide their cases. *Xepto* worked on a cruise liner and his real name was Cipriano. But we Moidekars called him *Xepto*. Why? Simply. We love giving people pet names. Someone is *Bobo* and someone else is *Ladoo*; so Cipriano was *Xepto*. Nowadays, *Xepto* is world famous, especially in Goa. But NOT as *Xepto*. The newspapers call him The Late Shri Cipriano Fernandes, NRI Chef. He became Late because the police *dhaddaied* him after some chick *lafda*. Anyway, there I was awkwardly staring at *Xepto*, wondering whether I should wish him or not. After all, it is not everyday one bumps into fellow Moidekars in Purgatory, and besides his dead body was still chilling out in the Bambolim freezer. That's when he spotted me. *Arre* Gusto!! *Hey* man! *Boro mure*?!!, he yelled cheerfully. I replied nervously, Good morning Mr Fernandes. Xepto said,*Henh* -- what's this Mister Fernandes-Bernandes??!!! C'mon Gusto! Call me *Xepto* like always. It's cool dude. I said hesitantly,Sure *Xepto* - so how's life man? Er, I mean ... I bit my tongue as I realised my mistake. But dead or alive, *Xepto* did not mind it. He replied, Actually Gusto, I'm enjoying it *man*. Tell me Gusto, which *Moidekar* is more famous than me? The papers print my photo every second day. And the coverage on the Goa TV channels is great...And just look at the headlines Gusto: Doctors 'Doctor' Reports! Witnesses Offered Lakhs to Keep Mum but Refuse Bribes! MLAs Raise Cipriano in Assembly!... Sensational! I'm famous *man*! Before this, who was I? Nobody. Just poor, humble, useless *Xepto*. All my life nobody cared for me. Of course, after I started working on a cruise-liner, people would come for a drink or two or three or four with me, when I came home on holiday, but still... Tired of his self-pity, I said, *Puro re Xeptia, side-show chod zalem*. OK you had problems, but everyone has *na*? And don't say no one cared for you. *Arre*, even today your *amigos* have stood up for you, isn't it? The media would never have caught on to your story if it wasn't for friends like them. Do you think you were nothing to them, *pixea*? My scolding brought him back to earth, but only for a moment. *Xepto* mumbled, Gusto, I guess you're right. Sure, I am grateful to them. But still just look at me now man -- yesterday's Zero -- today's Hero! It's fantastic *man*! I just shook my head at *Xepto*'s dramatics. *Xepto* loved publicity, but to be fair though, there was some truth in his *falams*. In fact a film and a few *tiatrs* are being planned on his life. Changing the subject slightly I said, *Arre Xeptia*, tell me how that *lafda* started? And what do you think should be done to those cops who bashed you up? *Xepto* said, I really don't know, Gusto. It was all *ghodbod man*. Everybody was *abuz* and I was *gabrufied* when the police started *pettoing* me. But I've no complaints about that man -- cops *pettoi* everybody unless you're a *poixekar* with influence. No hard feelings -- the cops were just doing their duty. I'm cool. *Xepto* was quite philosophical. OK *Xepto*, now tell me, how will this *bhangod* end? God alone knows, Gusto. Most people tell me that the case will just get *zoroied* and *zoroied* on and on, until the next scandal comes up and my story is quietly forgotten. Like with Scarlett. Remember her? He sounded a little sad so I said, *Xeptia* I hope that doesn't happen and you get justice. He shrugged his shoulders. I mused to myself as we parted, I think the legendary village of Moira has a new legend - the legend of *Xepto*. Cheers Gusto
[Goanet] REPORT OF THE PEOPLE’S TRIBUNAL ENQUIRY REPORT- Karnataka violence against Christians
This is a report on the Karnataka violence against Christians conducted by Justice Michael Saldanha at the instance of PUCL and Transparency International (Karnataka). It is a must read for all those who value Peace and Communal Harmony and also stand for Truth and Justice. http://thecsf.org/pdfs/karnataka%20report.pdf I am also providing the weblinks to the Summary of Findings and Conclusions as under: http://www.thecsf.org/pdfs/JMFSR_synopsis.pdf For the benefit of those who are not able to open the inks or find it tedious to run through a large report, I shall post the Findings and Conclusions in instalments: Part I *JUSTICE MICHAEL F SALDANHA PEOPLE’S TRIBUNAL ENQUIRY REPORT SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: * Before recording the summary of my findings, I need to clarify that I have not specifically dealt with incidents in the Districts other than Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Bangalore, because none of those are as serious, incident-wise and consequences-wise and more so because they have followed the general pattern and the same findings hold good. In the procedure which I have followed, which was extremely laborious and time consuming and involved huge amounts of travel, an effort has been made to do a forensic job – comprehensive and all inclusive. It involved visits to 413 places, many of them repeatedly, examination of 673 witnesses, 2114 victims not to mention hospitals, courts, police stations, jails, government offices and of-course, the Churches and grottoes. The exercise was undertaken at high speed because human memory and evidence both fade get polluted and even get obliterated. In the majority of instances, records, videos, photographs etc. required to be carefully examined and researched. I have also had to obtain a lot of expert advice in many areas such as the medical field, the chemical field and even the finer points of the Law. The effort has been to produce a Report of high quality, one of total credibility absolutely transparent and unbiased and above all, a faithful exposition of the absolute truth. I am conscious of the fact that it is strong in many areas and that is because the incidents themselves are so horrifying. There is also a powerful indictment of some of the Politicians and Police Officers but that was inevitable on the facts of this case. I have tried very hard to look for any mitigating and extenuating circumstance but none exist * SYNOPSIS OF FINDINGS: * (a) That these incidents are representative of the *hidden agenda *of the party in power in this State, the BJP, which is driven by a very strong casteist force and which is no longer a secret after Gujarat and Orissa. Firstly, it consisted of a violent attack against minorities and that is why I have briefly indicated as to how the Muslim Community was simultaneously targeted. Next comes the hatred and the venom which the leaders have successfully transmitted to their followers which explains the abnormal levels of savage brutality in everything that took place, particularly whenever violence was used. Thirdly, and the most unfortunate distressing and shameful aspect of the operation which will take this country backwards to the days of the caste system, the results were manifested on the poor, the down-trodden, the weak, the aged and all the others who did not have the power to fight back. (b) That every one of the attacks and incidents which took place were instigated and pre-planned. They were State sponsored and not only supported by the State but were covered up for by the State. The responsibility for this devolves squarely on the Home Minister – Dr. B.V. Acharya and the Chief Minister – Dr. B.S. Yediyurappa (the Doctorate was awarded by some obscure foreign university). (c ) That in all the incidents involving violence, the principal culpability rests with the State Machinery namely the Police Department. Not a single instance of violence be it Lathi charge, use of teargas, smashing of vehicles and Church property or religious objects like the crucifix at the Adoration Monastery and the Statues and sacred objects can either be condoned or justified. These are all rank criminal offences for which the concerned Officers and Staff deserve to be prosecuted. I have named some of the Police Officers who have crossed all conceivable limits, who, even at this stage, deserve to be suspended, an enquiry held, and dismissed from service and prosecuted. The same applies to the then D.C., Mangalore. (d) That the promulgation of the so-called Order under Section 144 Cr.PC is thoroughly illegal and unjustified. (e) That the procurement of the rock pebbles, the arming of the saffron militants with lathis and other deadly weapons and use of these persons against members of the Minority Community was totally unjustified and Criminal. (f) That the use of lethal and toxic gas which emanated from teargas shells which were beyond the expiry date by 4 to 6 years was not only Criminal but was life threatening

I have extracted the same verbatim, from the writings, of perhaps the greatest Goan patriot, of the twentieth century, late Jose Inacio de Loyola, as translated by Alexandre Moniz Barbosa, from the book 'Passionate and Unrestrained' Radharao's article is a very ingenious way of inviting readers to the book under consideration.

Re: [Goanet] Can Sujay Gupta be allowed to mould Goan minds through Weeend Herald?
Claude, I read this letter with a sense of sadness and much shame, that Sujoy Gupta continues to heap on the journalist fraternity, of which he was once a part of. Sujoy, if you're reading this, and I know you will, if you haven't already, its not too late to just stop and take stock of your actions. And stop. Goa's got enough crap on her plate to deal with.

Now read what Claude Alvares exposed his manipulations and decide:

Re: [Goanet] Countering magical thinking
Dr. Ferdinando dos ReisFalcão wrote: Santosh has delusions that he has much better knowledge than eminent scientist of the 1970s. To him, even Einstein of the 18th century maybe considered as a cretin, and all Goan fools. Stop looking in the mirror Santosh and drawing conclusions. You have already exposed your capabilities and incompetency on Goanet. You are a shame to the science profession. - Dr. Ferdinando dos ReisFalcão, Please stop making a fool of yourself here. Most people on Goanet are aware that Santosh' scientific work is held in high regard by his fellow scientist. In fact, his contribution to science has been widely reported in the media at the local, state and national levels in the USA. Secondly, I find it amazing that you are of the belief that Einstein was alive in the 18th century. Any ten year old will laugh out loud at this contention of yours. Since you are unable to read and retain even the simplest of facts, you definitely would have difficulties following scientific developments. Maybe this is why you continue to make a fool of yourself here. Mervyn1410Lobo

[Goanet-News] Goanet Reader: The Legend of *Xepto* by Augusto Pinto
Cheers for My Dears: The Legend of *Xepto* by Augusto Pinto My Dears, You'll never believe this, but the other day I happened to pass by Purgatory when I suddenly saw *Xepto*, my fellow villager from Moira. Purgatory is not Goa's latest night club, but a kind of waiting room between *Sorg* and *Infern* where confused souls are kept while the Authorities decide their cases. *Xepto* worked on a cruise liner and his real name was Cipriano. But we Moidekars called him *Xepto*. Why? Simply. We love giving people pet names. Someone is *Bobo* and someone else is *Ladoo*; so Cipriano was *Xepto*. Nowadays, *Xepto* is world famous, especially in Goa. But NOT as *Xepto*. The newspapers call him The Late Shri Cipriano Fernandes, NRI Chef. He became Late because the police *dhaddaied* him after some chick *lafda*. Anyway, there I was awkwardly staring at *Xepto*, wondering whether I should wish him or not. After all, it is not everyday one bumps into fellow Moidekars in Purgatory, and besides his dead body was still chilling out in the Bambolim freezer. That's when he spotted me. *Arre* Gusto!! *Hey* man! *Boro mure*?!!, he yelled cheerfully. I replied nervously, Good morning Mr Fernandes. Xepto said,*Henh* -- what's this Mister Fernandes-Bernandes??!!! C'mon Gusto! Call me *Xepto* like always. It's cool dude. I said hesitantly,Sure *Xepto* - so how's life man? Er, I mean ... I bit my tongue as I realised my mistake. But dead or alive, *Xepto* did not mind it. He replied, Actually Gusto, I'm enjoying it *man*. Tell me Gusto, which *Moidekar* is more famous than me? The papers print my photo every second day. And the coverage on the Goa TV channels is great...And just look at the headlines Gusto: Doctors 'Doctor' Reports! Witnesses Offered Lakhs to Keep Mum but Refuse Bribes! MLAs Raise Cipriano in Assembly!... Sensational! I'm famous *man*! Before this, who was I? Nobody. Just poor, humble, useless *Xepto*. All my life nobody cared for me. Of course, after I started working on a cruise-liner, people would come for a drink or two or three or four with me, when I came home on holiday, but still... Tired of his self-pity, I said, *Puro re Xeptia, side-show chod zalem*. OK you had problems, but everyone has *na*? And don't say no one cared for you. *Arre*, even today your *amigos* have stood up for you, isn't it? The media would never have caught on to your story if it wasn't for friends like them. Do you think you were nothing to them, *pixea*? My scolding brought him back to earth, but only for a moment. *Xepto* mumbled, Gusto, I guess you're right. Sure, I am grateful to them. But still just look at me now man -- yesterday's Zero -- today's Hero! It's fantastic *man*! I just shook my head at *Xepto*'s dramatics. *Xepto* loved publicity, but to be fair though, there was some truth in his *falams*. In fact a film and a few *tiatrs* are being planned on his life. Changing the subject slightly I said, *Arre Xeptia*, tell me how that *lafda* started? And what do you think should be done to those cops who bashed you up? *Xepto* said, I really don't know, Gusto. It was all *ghodbod man*. Everybody was *abuz* and I was *gabrufied* when the police started *pettoing* me. But I've no complaints about that man -- cops *pettoi* everybody unless you're a *poixekar* with influence. No hard feelings -- the cops were just doing their duty. I'm cool. *Xepto* was quite philosophical. OK *Xepto*, now tell me, how will this *bhangod* end? God alone knows, Gusto. Most people tell me that the case will just get *zoroied* and *zoroied* on and on, until the next scandal comes up and my story is quietly forgotten. Like with Scarlett. Remember her? He sounded a little sad so I said, *Xeptia* I hope that doesn't happen and you get justice. He shrugged his shoulders. I mused to myself as we parted, I think the legendary village of Moira has a new legend - the legend of *Xepto*. Cheers Gusto
