South leaders for English, North want status quo HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, MAY 18

The battle for Medium of Instruction which has reached New Delhi has intensified with PWD Minister, Churchill Alemao along with other South Goa Congress leaders like Mauvin Godinho making a strong demand before the central leaders for including English as the medium of instruction. While a section of North Goa leaders like Sudin Dhavlikar and Ramakant Khalap are believed to have stressed on maintaining status quo, there was another section which favoured a subject-specific so-

lution to overcome the problem. Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat who returned to Goa, on Wednesday evening to be in time for the Margao Crafts Festival 2011, and is scheduled to leave for the National Capital early Thursday morning, said that the process of consultants to break the deadlock over the medium of instruction has got underway in the national Capital, even as the Force for Rights of Children’s Education (FORCE) has expressed hope of a positive outcome from the confabulations.

While declining to throw light on today’s meeting in Delhi, Kamat said consultancy has got underway with Central leaders and exuded confidence that the deliberations will bring out a solution to the MoI row. Speaking to Herald, Mauvin Godinho said that a decision on the MoI tangle which was earlier scheduled for May 20 will now be taken on May 22. Meanwhile, FORCE secretary Savio Lopes said they had an interaction with Congress leader Oscar Fernandes and Jagmeet Singh Brar, wherein they put (Continued on page 8)

Pollution Board officials grilled on pollution at Cuncolim Estate HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, MAY 18

Pollution in the Cuncolim Industrial Estate has come back to haunt the citizens and the authorities once again. At a meeting called to discuss the recent incident of ammonia leakage in an industrial unit in the Cuncolim Municipal Council, citizens raised apprehensions over rampant pollution inside the Estate in the absence of any close monitoring by various agencies, including the Goa State Pollution Control Board. The pollution control board officials were literally grilled by the citizens, who demanded to know whether any track is maintained on the disposal of hazardous waste generated in the estate. Oscar Martins, who had taken the issue of pollution to the high court, urged the Pollution Board

officials to check the manner in which hazardous waste generated in the estate is disposed off by the units. He threatened to knock the doors of the Supreme Court if the Pollution Control Board fails to crack a whip against the erring units. The citizens also demanded that the Pollution Control Board randomly test water samples from the nearby water bodies, including drinking water wells to check the level of pollutants. The air pollution in the Estate also came to the fore, with the Pollution Control Board flooded with queries whether any mechanism is put in place at Cuncolim to monitor air pollution. The attention of the authorities was drawn to the ammonia leakage in a food processing unit and the resultant effect on workers housed in an adjoining

unit. The citizens demanded to know from the Factories and Boilers whether workers can be accommodated inside the industrial premises. Left with no answer, the official replied saying the question needs to be answered by the Industrial Development Corporation. The issue of fuel storage tanks was also raised by the citizens with the officials, who, however, have feigned ignorance about the presence of any fuel tanks in the industrial estate. Citizens, however, requested the Factories and Boilers and Pollution Control Board officials to check the presence of fuel storage tanks and get back to the Municipality. They demanded to know whether any hearing was conducted by the authorities before granting permission to set up the fuel tanks.

Chandel locals refuse cheques for land acquired for Mopa airport HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

Villagers of Chandel in Pernem taluka, refused to accept cheques which were distributed by special land acquisition officer for Mopa airport, M K Vasta, Wednesday. Vasta, who had gone to distribute cheques at Chandel panchayat was sent back by villagers who questioned his intentions and asked him to return. Sources from the village told Herald that Vasta was questioned by villagers about why he was distributing the cheques even as a petition challenging the legality of the acquisition was still pending before the High Court. “We asked him how he can distribute cheques, when a petition is still pending. To that he replied that he brought cheques only for those persons who are not party to the petition. We then showed him a list of the petitioners and that some of the petitioners names too were there on the cheques. He had no reply to that,” a source said. When contacted, Vasta confirmed the developments. “I had been to the village, but the villagers said they will accept the cheques once the petition has been disposed by the High Court. There was no confrontation of any sort,” Vasta told Herald. The villagers on the contrary informed that they have asked him ‘never to return’. “We asked

him on whose behest he was acting. He had no answer to this. Why is government is in a hurry to pay compensation to people?” Siddarth Karapurkar of Goenchea Xetkaracho Ekvott which is supporting the Mopa Vimantall Piditt Xetkari Samiti informed. A petition filed by the MVPXS, has led to the court passing an interim stay on government tak-

ing possession of the land, even as it allowed government to go ahead with land valuation and acquisition. The government has in the meanwhile fixed the rate for land and has even prepared compensation cheques for those who will lose their lands. The valuation of lands in other villages is still on.

Secrecy shrouds NCP members meet with Pawar HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

Members of NCP state core committee who met with party president Sharad Pawar purportedly to discuss discontent within the party cadres regarding current party president Surendra Sirsat, were unwilling to discuss details of the outcome of Wednesday morning meet. Most NCP leaders remained tight-lipped about the proceeding of the meeting. Speaking to Herald, Bharati Chavan, incharge of Goa desk and member of NCP core committee did not disclose much about what transpired during the meeting. “We are a party that does not tolerate indiscipline,” was all that Chavan said when asked about the internal bickering within the party.

She however revealed the oft repeated line by NCP leaders - “Pawar has called for strengthening of the party at the block level and he would like to see that we are strong at the grassroots,” she said. Sirsat himself was not available for his comments. When asked whether the issue of the upcoming state elections was discussed at the meeting, Chavan said that the party was strong in 8-10 constituencies and expected to put candidates there. “We hope we will be in a coalition, but if that does not happen we are willing to put up candidates in all 40 constituencies. As of now we are strong in 8-10 constituencies but expect to have candidates in at least 12-15 constituencies,” she said.

Now, parents can oversee revaluation of papers HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

Initiating several reforms in the examination, Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has now decided that the revaluation of the papers would be allowed in presence of guardian or parent. GBSHSE Chairman Mervin D’Souza said that the new system has been introduced wherein the parent or guardian can be present while the paper was being revalued or verified by the examiner. The board has also decided that the results would be altered only if there is a difference of 10 percent marks post-verification or revaluation. To avoid forgery of marksheets, the board has also embodied hologram on the mark-sheet to distinguish a genuine from forged mark-sheet. The last date for sending application for revaluation is May 25. The very same day the revaluation of papers would be done in the presence of parents. The last date for verification of paper is June 17. Students can get their answer sheets re-evaluated on payment of Rs 700 per subject.

The idea behind the new provision is to redress students’ apprehensions that they have not been allotted marks as deserved. The decision of the board has been welcomed by parents who feel that they would be in better position to know how exactly their child has performed and rationale for allocation of marks. Atchyut Shirodkar, whose daughter has passed with first class marks, said that the revaluation and verification in presence of parents or guardians is a good step taken by the board. “This will also help the examiners to steer clear from the allegations of favouritism leveled against them. He said that parent will also know what exactly his child has written in the paper,” he said. Another parent, Fransisco Lourenco said that transparency in examination system is a welcome step. “Earlier papers were corrected and not shown to parents. Now parents can see how exactly it is verified or revaluated,” he said adding that his daughter is upset as she has not secured marks as expected. “We will be going in for re-evaluation” he said.

Board offers scholarship to 120 science toppers HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) has offered scholarship funded by Union government to 120 science students who had topped in Wednesday’s HSSC results. GBSHSE Chairman Mervin D’Souza said that the letters have already been written to the Science students who can avail this scholarship, which is to the tune of Rs 80,000 annually for five years. Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) scholarship is implemented by the Department of Science Technology (DST) New Delhi. Educationists said that in the scenario of global competitiveness there is need for special interventions for attracting youth to study of natural sciences and careers with research is recognized.

INSPIRE is a programme launched by the Govt. of India to strengthen the National Science and Technology base and implemented by DST. INSPIRE Scholarships for Higher Education (SHE) is focused on attraction of talent to study of natural science at the bachelor and master level education. SHE is currently limited to support for education programs at BSc, MSc and integrated master’s level course in science leading to MSc in any branch of natural and basic science namely Mathematics. Meanwhile, the board, which will be switching over to grading system from forthcoming academic year, has now decided that the student would be allowed to take one pre-vocational subject in place of any other subject, except first and second language, for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination.

Grading system gives weight to marks as well, this year HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

The grading system introduced by Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE), from academic year 2010-11, after much pressure from sections of parents, has been partially modified in its first year of implementation wherein marks and grading were together taken for assessing students. GBSHE Chairman Mervyn D’Souza said, “This system will be in place only for this year. Next year onwards, we will have exclusive grading and not marks.” He opined that grading systems will help in increasing students’ overall passing percentage. In the current year, marks

secured for the internal examinations have also attained significance. As per the Board circular, students securing more than 90 percent marks would be graded ‘A’ and their performance rated ‘outstanding.’ Those securing 80 to 89 percent would come under ‘B’ grade and rated ‘excellent’, while those in the 70 to 79 percent category will secure ‘C ’ grade and given ‘ ver y good’ performance remark. Students securing 60 to 69 percent will be given ‘D’; 50 to 59 per cent would ‘E’, 40 to 49 percent will secure ‘F’ and 30 to 39 per cent will get ‘G’ grade. Those getting A to G grade would not be detained in the same class while those securing 20 to 29 per cent will be

Similarly, those who get ‘I’ grade in all the subjects will also be considered as failed and would be detained in the same class for next academic year. Aggrieved parents while expressing unhappiness over implementation of grading system in Goa had pointed out major flaws in grading system implementation for HSSC, claiming that the circular on grading issued in June 2009 stressed more on grading pattern and gave negligible importance to 20 percent internal assessment scheme.

The Navelim unit of the BJP lashed out at PWD Minister Churchill Alemao for fooling the people of Navelim constituency and vowed to defeat him in the coming Assembly polls. Addressing a press conference, BJP minority cell president Sheikh Jina claimed that Alemao has failed on all fronts since his election as the MLA of Navelim constituency and is even facing serious charges of irregularities levelled by Benaulim ML A Mickky Pacheco. Jina said a school built six years ago at Rumdamol village in Navelim constituency during

the tenure of former Navelim MLA Luizinho Faleiro is lying unutilized till date and blamed Alemao for the delay in its inauguration. “Inauguration of the school would have helped students studying in the Urdu and Marathi mediums. But, Alemao has not inaugurated the school building till date”, he said. Jina also pooh-poohed Alemao’s drive to form women Self Help Groups in Navelim constituency, saying that besides the Varca-Telaulim bridge, the Navelim MLA has not ushered in development in the constituency. The BJP also took exception to the distribution of rice, sugar,

oil, etc by Alemao to the people. “Things are improving even in Bihar, but Alemao wants to convert Goa in Bihar by distributing these goodies”, Jina charged. He said the Congress has failed on all fronts, alleging that the Congress could not do what the BJP did during the five years of rule. “The BJP had undertaken development work even of the institutions run by the minorities”, he said, adding that Lotus will bloom not only in Navelim, but in the state as well after the coming Assembly polls. Aquem-Baixo Panch members Damu Naik and Agnelo Dias along with Sayed Hanif were present for the briefing.

Doc predicts flooding in Benaulim if River Sal not desilted before rains HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, MAY 18

Dr Hubert Gomes has demanded that River Sal should be de-silted and dredged before the onset of monsoon in Goa. “If it is not de-silted, we are awaiting a major flood in certain parts of Benaulim and Colva during the monsoons”, he said. He said a fully choked river and the illegal land fillings of the low lying areas along the banks of River Sal near Khareband and other places are the major factors that will contribute to the flooding. “As the depth and width of this river is reduced considerably, it will be one of the worst floods in the history of Benaulim. If it is not rectified, the traffic to Benaulim, Varca and Colva will remain paralyzed for some days”, Dr Hubert warned. “The untreated sewerage and inorganic garbage of Margao

that is dumped and pumped into this river has already polluted certain parts of River Sal. The toxic pollution that is now confined to the river will certainly flow into the adjoining fields during monsoons”, he said, and expressed the fears that this toxic water will cause long-term damage to the adjoining cultivable fields in Benaulim and Navelim. Talking of soil chemistry, Dr Hubert said, that water pollution is one of the major causes of ‘soil pH alteration’ which in turn can cause long-term damage to rice cultivation. “Please do not fool the farmers by giving them money, free seeds and free fertilizers. If you are really concerned about the poor farmers, it is time to take care of their paddy fields by ensuring there is no flooding of River Sal this year”, Dr Gomes requested the government. Justifying his apprehensions,

Dr Gomes pointed out that when the River Sal was not as polluted as it is today; its water had already destroyed many prawn farms in Benaulim. “Many prawn farmers who were doing a very lucrative business along the banks of this river in Benaulim and neighbouring villages, were forced to abandon their business on account of polluted river water”, he said. “Today, this river is polluted ten times more, and its water has probably turned toxic. Thanks to the plastics, inorganic garbage and raw sewerage that is dumped into it, River Sal has turned green and stinking at many places”, he said and pointed out that the very fact that the notorious Water Hyacinth weed (which grows in stagnant water) has become abundant in this river clearly means the free flow of water is obstructed at many places.

A 24-year-old woman from Solapur-Maharashtra committed suicide, while her husband was found in an unconscious state in Calangute on Wednesday morning. According to Calangute Police, the woman committed suicide by consuming tablets in the hotel room in Calangute on Tuesday, while her husband was found in an unconscious state along the road at Calangute on Wednesday morning. He continues to be in a critical state. The couple has been identified as Pallavi Anushe and Anil Anushe (25), both native of Solapur. Police further informed that the couple was recently married as per the marriage certificate, photo and the invitation card, which were found in the hotel room. The couple had arrived in Goa on May 16. Police said with no answer from the room, the hotel management forcibly opened the door only to find the body of the woman. Pallavi’s mother and brother came in search of her at the hotel. The body was later sent for post mortem. PSI Harish Gauns conducted the formalities while the investigation will be carried out by the SDM since the marriage was recently held.

NEIMA opposes ‘no detention’ policy Crime Branch grills Mines Director over illegal mining

Says drop-out rate will increase from Std IX detaining any students till class VIII, drew severe criticism from various heads of the schools, since the circular came after the academic year concluded on April 23. As per government statistics, Pednekar pointed out that current drop-out rate is 40 percent from classes I to VIII. “The rate is currently highest at class VIII,” he added. The association said that without Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation of the students, department cannot go ahead with ‘no detention’. Pednekar opined that government should have made provisions for giving NOCs for appointing full time teachers who alone could be expected to work assiduously toward the CCE and temporary or lecture basis teachers would not do justice to the cause. While asserting that school managements, headmasters, teachers and parents should have been consulted, he said, “The education department should not make RTE as prestige issue. It should be implemented by taking all stakeholders into con-

fidence,” NEIMA President said. The association listed out that the government has not framed rules, guidelines and modalities and the same would have been placed before the state cabinet for approval, which is not been done till date; it failed to constitute academic authority and advisory council, as mandated by the Act; not prepared financial requirements for development of infrastructure for the implementation of the Act, even though the funds would be provided by the central ministry and there was absence of proper infrastructure, and in the wake of all these lapses the Act could not come into force. NEIMA, affiliated to 76 schools, high schools and colleges in the state, expressed readiness to go ahead with full day schooling provided government provided required infrastructure and suggested that several unused lands in the state, could be acquired and handed over to schools. The association also opined that Medium of Instruction (MOI) at the primary level must be in mother tongue.

Predicting monsoon arrival no longer an easy task for IMD In 2005, Kerala had monsoon showers on June 7 and it traversed to Goa the very next day. In 2006, arrival of monsoon was pretty early. Monsoon hit Kerala on May 26 and two days later it had touched Goa. With this changing trend -- the local observatory has been very careful in making prediction about the time of arrival monsoon Goa this year. To be on the safe side, Singh is careful about predictions, “If Kerala gets rain as predicted by May 31, Goa will have monsoon showers within a week but plus or minus four days, he concludes. Meanwhile local Meteorological Department has predicted that some parts of the State are likely to receive pre-monsoon showers during next 48 hours and cloudy weather condition will persist. A few places received light showers during 24 hours. The Met department recorded 10.4 mm rainfall at Sanguem received, 8.8 mm at Mapusa, 5.0 mm at Margao and .6 mm rainfall at Dabolim.

Burglars made merry in the Commercial capital last night, targeting as many as five apartments in Fatorda area of the city. The miscreants have managed to lay their hands on gold ornaments and cash amounting to Rs 10,000 from an apartment owned by B M Patil. They, however, could not lift away any valuables from an adjoining flat. The situation in respect of the remaining three flats could not be ascertained as the inmates were out.

The atmosphere was always a chaotic system. But predicting the arrival of Goa monsoons has just got more unpredictable in the last few years, according to K V Singh, Director, India Meteorological Department, Altinho. Though historically, Goa received the welcome first showers effacing the sweltering summer heat, immediately a week after monsoons hit Kerala, the trend has changed in the last few years. Recent forecast suggests monsoon will hit Kerala on May 31, without assurance that it will start raining in Goa a week later. The time period can now vary from anything between one to 14 days. In 2010, monsoon arrived in Kerala on May 31 but it took ten days to advance towards Goa, resulting in relief from the sweltering heat only on June 10.

The memorandum further stated that MMC should give serious thought to the proposal made by MNE regarding planting of trees in front of the re-aligned new shops near the taxi stand and in line with the existing pavements, facing the market. The MNE has also requested the MMC to shift their existing office to the old structure which was earlier rented to St Mary’s High School in Mapusa, which now stands abandoned. “This old structure possesses

great architectural beauty and will enhance the importance of MMC. Moreover, there is a lot of space for parking in front of the building,” added the memorandum.

Valpoi health centre on drive to curb mosquito breeding HERALD CORRESPONDENT VALPOI, MAY 18

Working conditions of lifeguards poor, says CPI youth wing HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18

All India Youth Federation, the youth wing of Communist Party of India has promised to inquire about inhuman conditions in which lifeguards manning the State’s beaches are made to work.

The director had stayed the order of the panchayat deciding not to go ahead with garbage

Natural World

lue whales are the largest animals ever known to have lived on Earth. In spite of living in the oceans, a blue whale is classiﬁed as an ocean mammal, and not a ﬁsh. The reason is that the huge animal is warm-blooded, inhales air, has some hair or fur and feeds their progeny with milk. Its sheer size has fascinated human beings, and despite its formidable dimensions, the blue whale is a gentler creature than most.

It is BIG

These magniﬁcent marine mammals, that roam the oceans, grow up to 100 feet (30 meters) long and weigh upwards of 200 tons (181 metric tons). To truly get an accurate perspective: a small person to crawl through the main arteries of a blue whale. This mammal is as big as a Boeing Jet, and its heart is the size of a small car. Its tongue can support ﬁfty people without a problem. When this creature comes to the surface for air, the spray of water can reach up to 30 feet. The sound of a blue whale may reach 188 decibels, making it louder than

a jet, which is 140 decibels. Although a blue whale feeds at a depth of less than 330 feet, it can dive up to 1640 feet. One dive lasts for 10 to 20 minutes, after which it has to come back up for air. A blue whale can live a life of 110 years, unless it dies from other causes.

Eating Habits

Blue whales reach their mind-boggling dimensions on a diet composed nearly exclusively of tiny shrimp-like animals called krill. During certain times of the year, a single adult blue whale consumes about 4 tons (3.6 metric tons) of krill a day – which means that 40 million krill are killed by one blue whale per day.

First, an enormous quantity of water and food is held in the whale’s mouth. Then, as blue whales have baleen plates, instead of teeth, to process food, which are mostly krill, plankton, squid and small ﬁsh, the water is sieved against these plates. This happens as the mouth closes, and the water is thrown out through the baleen plates. There are approximately 320 pairs of black baleen plates that are each 1 meter long, 53 cen-

Restricted water at Salcette, Mormugao PANJIM (HND): There will be restricted water supply to entire Salcette and Mormugao Talukas on May 22 due to pre-monsoon maintenance work by Electricity Department at Xelpem water treatment plant.

Pilerne Forum flays panchayat for not collecting garbage collection and had ruled that the panchayat was duty bound to collect garbage,” Yatish Naik of PCF told media persons. The fact that the panchayat had again decided to avoid collecting garbage has peeved the members of the forum. “This kind of governance is shameful. It is utter disrespect for the law. When there is a clear cut order, how can the pan-

timeters wide and weighing 90 kg. The food gets locked near the tongue and is then swallowed.

Babies

Blue whale calves enter the world already ranking among the planet's largest creatures. After about a year inside its mother's womb, a calf emerges weighing up to 3 tons (2.7 metric tons) and stretching to 25 feet (8 meters). It survives on an exclusive diet of its mother's milk and gains about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) every day for its ﬁrst year.

Existence

Blue whales have few predators but are known to fall victim to attacks by sharks and killer whales, and many are injured or die each year from impacts with large ships. Unfortunately for these large creatures, human beings have also hunted them almost to extinction. As a result, the species became endangered in the 1950s. Blue whales are currently classiﬁed as endangered on the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List.

chayat decide that it should not be followed,” Naik asked. The forum claims that it was because of its initiative that the panchayat began door to door garbage collection. “We routed them in Pilerne village in the zilla panchayat elections so the sarpanch is now worried had been spreading lies and calumnies against us,” Naik said.

The two bridges were supposed to be built along with the NH-17. But, things have come to a halt following the non-finalisation of the highway. The NH authority had carried out the soil testing at the site of the proposed bridges, but they cannot build bridges unless the NH-17 route is finalized,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The report to this effect has been dispatched to the government, said the officer while the ship breaking company has transported the scarp to Old Goa jetty. Arihant Ship breakers will be entitled to the proceeds from sale of scrap equivalent to its bank deposit of Rs 10 crore as per the agreement.â&#x20AC;&#x153; The company will require to submit additional bank guarantee when proceeds from sale of scrap exceeds Rs 10 crore,â&#x20AC;? pointed out the tourism official. Ship breaking works on â&#x20AC;&#x153;no cure no pay basisâ&#x20AC;?. Accordingly the company will not be paid any amount until it fully removes the grounded vessel. The government will have to pay Rs 99 crore to the company plus taxes after completion of work.

279 or in default of payment to undergo simple imprisonment for two months. However, the Court acquitted the accused for offence under Section 337. In the instant case, accused Gaonkar on July 11, 2009, who was proceeding in his truck (GDZ-5809) from Dando to Cottarli, lost control over the truck and dashed against the retaining wall of the culvert at ZoriwaddoCottarli. The truck plunged into the culvert causing instant death of the occupant one Laxman Naik and injuring Kalpesh Gaonkar. The prosecution examined 13 witnesses in the matter including IO Melson Colaco attached to Sanguem Police station. APP Govind Gaonkar appeared on behalf of the prosecution and also argued the matter.

CCP’s parking

rules move is commendable

he decision of the Council for the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) not to issue any commercial licenses till new parking regulations are formulated is commendable. This move was long overdue and will go a long way in ensuring that commercial complexes, markets and office complexes are not planned and passed without parking rules. Panjim is a city which was planned beautifully and structurally. Its roads and lanes were earmarked taking into account a certain traffic level. The huge increase of private transport has cut into pedestrian space. At the same time rampant construction has cut into road space. Transportation and parking is a state subject and not just one municipal body but all corporations in every town of Goa, should have set policies depending on variables in each town. For instance the total number of vehicles allowed to be parked in a building space should depend on the number of offices and shops and the expected number of vehicles in that area per day. However, a much more pragmatic and futuristic way of doing this exercise is not just plan more parking to accommodate more cars. That will cut into available space. What should be done is to cap the number of cars that should be parked and ensure that more available public transport systems are in place like quick battery operated city buses which can pick up people from different designated pay parking lots and drop them off at various commercial centers free of charge. The buses can recover a part of their operational costs from the pay parking. What is important here is the synergy between various bodies and individuals planning parking for the city. Parking itself can’t be seen in isolation but as a part of overall city planning and mobility. Hence since the CCP has taken the first step, it should go long and initiate a city mobility plan which will include parking as a key element. In fact the Ministry of Urban Development through the JNNURM scheme has a body of technical experts as consultants who are helping various cities across the country with such planning. Goa, has so far lagged behind and have not even proposed a city mobility plan for many of its cities. Here we have planners available and ready funds. Goa should use this opportunity, backed by an active CCP to pitch for a city mobility plan which will cover transportation and mobility in a manner which will reduce the dependence on private transport and private parking. Panjim as a capital needs this immediately. The streets of 18th June road, the area around the municipal garden and all other arterial roads are choked. Towards St Inez and Miramar, the mall and several schools result in a huge congestion especially in the early afternoon. The regular encroachments also lead to road space being taken up. Even before any plan is put in place there is a need to levy parking fees in designated areas and heavy fines where parking is illegal. The sight of police vehicles and big luxury cars parked in no parking areas and scooters, motorcycles and small cars clamped for illegal parking is a sign that there is class-based enforcement of parking rules. Hence while planning the city better and including parking is welcome, a beginning has to be made by applying tough standards even before the plan comes into operation. As residents of Goa, we must all support the CPP in taking this forward and take the CCP to task if it doesn’t.

Anti-incumbency vote

While Mamata Banerjee opposed the Tata project in Singur, the CPM clung to power, says erVeLL e MeneZeS

he recent election results proved one point beyond doubt, and that is the party has to perform in order to survive, and incumbency is often a handicap. It is a sign of political maturity and West Bengal has had to bid adieu to the Communist Party Marxist (CPM) after nearly four decades of Communist rule. The same is the case in Tamil Nadu where the DMK were knocked out of power by the AIADMK led by Jayalithaa and the ageing M Karunanidhi had to bite the dust as he was in the midst of scams not the least being the 2G spectrum scam in which his minister A Raja was found guilty. Jayalithaa’s AIADMK is always waiting in the wings as it is a two-party rule in that state. The Congress added to the Left drubbing by snatching power in Kerala by a slender margin. The blackout of the Reds reminds one of the saying that after communism died, the world over there would have only two surviving dinosaurs —- E M S Namboodiripad and Jyoti Basu. But that has not happened and it must be indeed a sad day for surviving Basu. But it is indeed a miracle that communism, a creed that did not respect the basic right to human property could have survived for over 70 years. That British author George Orwell had seen through it as early as he did in ‘Animal Farm’ only shows the vision of the man who tore that philosophy to shreds saying ‘all animals are equal, but pigs are more equal.’ That those who were in power exploited the others was the only reason why it lasted for so long. But you cannot fool all the people, all the time. One has only to read Maxim Gorkhy’s ‘Mother’ to pity the plight of the common man and the faith he reposed in the system. Very much like our Aam Admi in Goa. If communism has had its day, what is the alternative? Surely, not the United States-type super-capitalism which breeds an elite lot of millionaires whereas the remaining 90 per cent are the proletariat, lacking in material as well as intellectual wealth and we in India seem to be following that pattern. But America’s domination over the world is gradually being exposed and they are now seeing bad days.

Augustus Alphonso, Vasco

John D’ Costa, Zuarinagar

I recently read that demolished structures at Khariwado seashore in Vasco are slowly being rebuilt at some sites. However, these few people must realise that when the law was against them; they reacted through various means that made the government consider helping them. Therefore, if the structures are being illegally rebuilt, it would mean that law is not being respected. The residents of these demolished illegal structures should not involve themselves in such measures. I hope they understand the value of patience. The government, in the meanwhile, should rehabilitate these affected people.

I moot for a one-time culling of all stray dogs in Goa. I reside in Vidyanagar near MES, Zuarinagar and in this area, there isn’t a single cat (stray or domesticated) all have been killed by stray dogs hunting in packs at night. These stray dogs have now begun to threaten little kids playing alone. Can the authorities please step in before this menace gets out of hand?

The political situation in Portugal is gradually improving with the Democrats realising the impracticality over the situation when the government rose to the occasion to prove more than equal.

Reprieve granted

It is reported that due to diplomatic pressure from the neighboring Spain a reprieve has been granted to the Spaniard Leandro Gonzalez who was accused of arson.

Elections postponed further

The general elections are further postponed to enable the citizens to meet the requirements of the Election Bill.

Lyceum Professor reinstated

Dr Alipio Camelo, Professor of the Lyceum Maria Pio who was dismissed earlier by the previous government has been reinstated by the present government.

The dollar is fast falling and some economists have even forecast food riots in a few years, much worse that the Great Depression of the 1930s. That surely will be an equaliser for a nation that masquerades as the world’s largest democracy. Just ask Noam Chomsky and see what he says about Osama Bin Laden. Even Bin Laden’s son, who never agreed with his dad’s credo, questions the right of the US to invade another country. But the world maintains a stony silence. One needs to find an ism that will balance both extremes and Greek philosopher Aristotle always advocated the Golden Mean. But that is not so easily gained in life or in politics so until then, we must search and wait for that silver lining. Until then, let’s descend from the idealistic to the mundane or pragmatic and so to politics again. Mamata Banerjee was slowly but surely making her presence in the state ever since she opposed the Nano project of the Tatas in Singur. But it was a long struggle as the CPM spared nothing in its desperate bid to cling to power. ‘Tehelka,’ in its 22 January issue gave a vivid account of the situation in Netai village in the

arents realise that while little children are loyal and affectionate, teenagers are something else. It is so nice to be the parent of an innocent child. You feed him, train him, pray, play and laugh together with him. Occasionally, he puts his head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. He listens to you with enthusiasm and is responsive. All in all, a child, a bundle of joy! Then, around age 13, your adoring tot turns in to something else. When you tell him to come inside, he looks amazed, as if wondering! Instead of following you, he disappears. You will not see him again until he gets hungry, then he pauses on his sprint through the kitchen long enough to turn his nose up at whatever you are serving. When you reach out to ruffle his head, in that old affectionate gesture, he twists away from you, then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where he has seen you before! You, not realising that the child is now teenager, think something must be desperately wrong with him. What could make a seemingly good child to behave awakedly? Is he going nutty? You try to reason and find no answer. He seems so unsocial, so

OPINION

Illegal mining Lawrence D’Cruz, UK The damage to our environment by legal or illegal mining and construction has ruined our forests and villages, polluted our water table, with toxic waste dumped at sea and rivers, air pollution etc. We must not forget the extinction of plant, animals and insects which is priceless. The loss to flora and fauna has been extensive. Now that the government is going to close down illegal mines, what is the compensation to be received by us to restore our beautiful land to its former glory from the owners of illegal mines? The government must seize their assets and impose a large fine. It appears that there is one law for the corrupt Indian bureaucrats, politicians and businessmen and another for us Goans.

Doing a volte-face Tony de Sa, Moira The General Body Meeting of the Goa Headmasters Association had resolved not to accept the ‘circular’ issued by the Director of Education to apply Section 16 of the RTE retroactively for the academic year 2010-11 after the results were declared and admissions for 2011-12 finalised. It is surprising, therefore, that after the delegation of Executive Committee Members of the Association met the DoE, the Association President started singing a different tune! Was there any intimidation?

Some have been collateral damage. Some of the dead aligned with the Trinamool Congress, some with the CPM, some with the Indian National Congress. For some, their political affiliations were unclear at the time of death. Some supported a political party only to save themselves. Some could not save themselves because they supported a political party,” the report said. It was the proverbial case of the blind man in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn’t there. But the Marxists were striving hard to maintain hold in Arambagh sub-division because all the others seats in Hooghly were in the hands of the Trinamool Congress. It was here that a number of Trinamool Congress workers were hacked to death and their bodies sent to their families. Arambagh is probably an example of how India lives in the rural areas. The same is the case in Central India where the Maoists and the police

distant, sort of depressed. He will not go on family outings, preferring to stay aloof. Not even wanting to bounce with other brats. Most teenagers are almost fanatical about protecting their privacy. This doesn’t necessarily mean they have anything to hide. They are simply trying to establish the beginnings of independence, wanting to hold their own. Since you are the one who raised him, taught him the basics before going out to a school, you assume that you did something wrong. Utterly wrong notions keep on bombarding you. Flooded with guilt and fear, you pray and invoke saints and redouble your efforts to make your pet behave. Only now you are dealing with a rebel teenager, so everything that you worked before now produces the opposite of the desired result. Call him and he runs away. Tell him something, he doesn’t seem to listen. The more you go towards him, wringing your hands, the more he moves away. You are hopelessly dumbfounded at his ill-manner. You tried hard to be perfect. Now guilt keeps gnawing, you keep on getting in filthy moods and it appears the pent-up guilt exploding inwardly may find its way outwardly.

Road Widening & Safety

Wesley Edward Pereira, Raia

There was an interesting report (Herald, 18 May, Pg 5) on the MARG exhibition inaugural function at Ponda. The vehicles are increasing in Goa and, as a result, road accidents are on the rise. If you widen the roads for urban transportation projects such as Expressway or Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) treating Goa as a city, more unwanted multi-storey buildings and other large projects will be added, resulting in more vehicles and more chaos. Road widening is not a solution by itself, if vehicles are going to increase at a rapid rate. In a small state like Goa, it is practically impossible to have safe four-lane highways without demolishing old and new residential houses. Why not have safe two-lane highways and use the additional available land widths for road safety measures and proper relocation of utilities? This move should be supported with the stoppage of unwanted projects that can cause traffic congestion on existing roads. Can this happen?

Zuari bridge Adelmo Fernandes, Vasco It is seen that many a times the Zuari bridge, which is an important link between North and South Goa, is closed down for maintenance work. This causes a lot of inconvenience to the general public. Even though the maintenance work is carried out on a Sunday, there are many who travel even in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Many a time tourists get stranded and are not able to catch the early morning flights. What happens if a serious patient is being rushed to the GMC hospital in a private vehicle and the bridge happens to be closed? Do the authorities concerned expect the patient to be kept waiting till the bridge is opened for traffic or for the four-wheeler to take the long route via Ponda to reach the hospital? By then it could probably be too late to save a life. Even though the closure of the bridge is

By Marc de Souza Now, instead of continuing to act like a little child’s parent, you can learn to behave like a teenager’s parent. You must make the move and the change. Remember, courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. So take courage in both hands and put some food on the table, ignore your child, and he will eat. Remember we all need help and affection. Sit still, and knowing that you are not crowding him, he will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap he has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open wide the door of your heart for him. Suddenly, one fine day, your grown-up child will walk in the kitchen, give you a tender hug or kiss and say, “You have been on your feet all day. Let me empty the kitchen-bin for you.“ It’s the voice of hope in your heart. Then, you will realise your teenager one, is a child once again. Truly, with patience and persistence, parents can do a lot to make their children beauties in our world full of beasts. A polite child grows up to get the friends and the dates and the job interviews - it’s the language of all human behaviour.

Letter of the Day

was refused admission to 1st standard, but with the present situation, one could be promoted till 8th standard. I feel sorry for the state of education in Goa, but it cannot be helped because the people in power know the best. I only hope Shashikala Kakodkar & Co. are aware of the same.

are involved in a perennial war of attrition and though the government tries to underplay it, it is another sign of the vulnerability of the Congress at the Centre. The anti-incumbency formula also applies to them. It has to reinvent itself or else they have to face the collective wrath of the opposition parties. For too long the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been out of power and are just waiting for a small beam of light in the door so that they can once again rule at the Centre. Anna Hazare’s ‘India Against Corruption’ movement is fast gaining ground in the country and has now reached Goa. Though Hazare could not make it to the Ravindra Bhavan meet in Margao because of ill-health, the response was good. Rubbishing reports that it was connected with the RSS or the BJP, social activist Arvind Kejarival said his party will not vote for those who are blocking the passage of the Lokpal Bill, which envisages bringing the office of the Prime Minister and the judiciary under its purview. Goa is without any monitoring body since 2003 when the Public Man’s (Prevention of Corruption) Commission, under a high court judge, was withdrawn because of the much-delayed Lokpal Bill. For this, the sleepy Congress under the incompetent Digambar Kamat must bear most of the blame. His house is in total disarray, be it the medium if instruction, the Right to Instruction Bill, it is the usual dilly-dallying formula. The Cavrem mines issue is hotting up and one of its activists, Nitish Gaonkar was physically assaulted. This will only intensify the anti-mining stir. One has only to see pictures of the recent Shirgao Zatra to see the desolate wasteland caused by mining, which now is a “privy purse” to our Chalis Chor. Never has Goa been in such a state of inertia with the government of the select few riding roughshod on the many minions, among them of course is the Aam Admi who basks in the torrid midday May sun to eke out his very existence. Dear Anna Hazare, you have a mammoth-size problem to tackle and the first step is always the hardest.?

announced in the print media well in advance, there are emergency cases when time is of vital importance. Four-wheelers should be allowed to board the ferries, which has been discontinued at present, so that any vital delay is taken care of.

Show them the door Allwyn George, Carmona The decimation of the DMK in Tamilnadu by Jayalalithaa and the Left Front in Bengal by Mamta Banerjee shows that people’s power cannot be taken for granted. This election has proved that corruption cannot go unnoticed in public domain. Goans have to learn from the poll verdict from both these states as the same MLAs and ministers are looting and fooling Goans for the past 20-25 years and managing to get reelected by virtue of no choice for the people. It is high time we learn from Anna Hazare and show the door to the corrupt politicians in the next elections or condemn ourselves to be their slaves for another five years.

Save Goa’s image Mervyn Menezes, Varca Goa’s image has taken a serious beating, of late. For some time now, her image has

taken a serious beating. Of late, we can affirm that Goa has been drugged and raped. This tiny state on the western coast of India that was once known for its palm fringed beaches and beautiful churches is today famous for unpalatable reasons. Surge in crimes against women, drug peddling, etc have tarnished the image of our once peaceful and beautiful Goa. Most of these crimes are in collusion with the police and the politicians ruling our tiny state. Utt Goenkara, we need to weed out such greedy and tainted politicians to save our motherland.

Fight corruption Agnelo P Furtado, Chinchinim Come elections, the Guns of Bofors come booming; ghosts of coffin scams are resurrected; 2G scams defy gravitational forces and are thrown up in cyberspace, and what have you. End of elections, everything is quiet on the western front; the bucks from the big bang are sucked into India’s bottomless big black corruption hole and it is business as usual. Let us all ‘susegad goenkars’ get out of our balcaos and join hands with Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and other conscientious honest people to fight this parasite called corruption.

Full-time secy needed Nelson Lopes Chinchinim For a long time now, the Chinchinim Panchayat has to be content with a part time Secretary. The Sarpanch and Deputy Sarpanch have demitted office on no confidence motion. This has created a further vacuum and untold difficulties to obtain necessary information from the local body. Often, the Secretary is absent on so-called official errands. The movement register, though available, has nothing recorded on it. The Secretary of the village Panchayat is also the Public information officer under RTI Act 2005. Once again, we request the BDO, and mamlatdar to strictly check the movement register of the secretary, and Talathi before payment for the month, so that truancy and irresponsibility can be checked and controlled.

Paths of Wisdom

The Narrow Door

Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching the people and making his way towards Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Sir, will just a few people be saved?” Jesus answered them, “Do your best to go in through the narrow door; because many people will surely try to go in, but will not be able. The master of the house will get up and close the door; then when you stand outside and begin to knock on the door and say, “Open the door for us, Sir!” he will answer you, “I don’t know where you come from!” Then, you will answer, “We ate and drank with you; you taught in our town!” But he will say again, “I don’t know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!” How you will cry and grind your teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, while you are thrown out! People will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down at the feast in the Kingdom of God. Then, those who are now last will be first and those who are now first will be last.(Luke 13: 22-30)

Settle with Your Opponent

“Why do you not judge for yourselves the right thing to do? If someone brings a lawsuit against you and takes you to court, do your best to settle the dispute with him before you get to court. If you don’t, he will drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to the police, and you will be put in jail. There you will stay, I tell you, until you pay the last penny of your fine.” (Luke 12: 57-59)

INDIA

GOA, THURSDAY 19 MAY 2011

opinionated Rahul challenges Maya, vows to fight for farmers’ cause Confusion of Medium I

By Sandesh Prabhudesai

feel we are confusing the ongoing issue of medium of instruction with English language skills. Development of language skills and medium of instruction are two different issues. I went through writings of noted educationists from all over the world to find out whether there is any inherent inter-dependence between the two. I couldn’t find any. As a journalist when I talk to people supporting primary education in English, I find they do not hate Konkani, the mother tongue, or even Goan culture. They simply want their children to write and speak proper English, to be able to face the world. This concern is not confined to Christian Goans – the Hindus, Muslims and even migrants share it. All want their children to prosper. They feel their children will get the best education if they study in English from the start. There is nothing 'anti-national' in this. Nor do I find any antinational tendencies among people demanding English medium. The confusion is about learning – kindergarten in English, primary in Konkani and then again the remaining education in English. It’s confusing for children as well as their parents. Aren’t our so-called educationists responsible for this mess? In 1991, the government decided not to give salary grants to English medium primary schools, and also not to have government primary schools in English. For these salary grants, the Diocesan Society’s primary schools as well as a few other private primary schools converted overnight their English-medium primary schools into Konkani. The teachers weren't even properly trained to teach Konkani. Consequently, in may Konkani schools, Konkani is taught in English. On the other hand, the state government has allowed over 100 English medium private primary schools, without salary grants. The wealthy send their children to private English schools, while the others have to join Konkani or Marathi medium schools. This has created a feeling that the poor are being deprived from learning in English. Aren’t Goa's educationists responsible for keeping silent about this discriminatory treatment? Mind you, this has happened both during Congress regimes as well as the BJP regimes. All politicians and parties are responsible for this mess. But still I don’t agree that English medium is the right solution. English medium will not solve the basic problem – development of the child's language skills. Language skills develop when the child learns spelling, grammar, diction, pronunciation, etc. Goa's children need to learn to write and speak proper English. Speaking 'Konglish' is no solution. In fact, it spoils the child's English language skills. Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday, a British linguist who has developed an internationally accepted grammar model – systemic functional grammar – puts it concisely. He categorises language learning into Learning Language, Learning through Language, and Learning about Language. I feel we are mixing these three aspects and confusing the issue. If our basic aim is to learn English, we need to develop language skills, by learning English as a language subject. To develop it further, we need to read English literature, not just text books. We also need to write in English, and to speak formal English in society and on public platforms, not just in casual conversations. Because it is neither our mother tongue nor our native language, we need to take some precautions. Our style and tone of speaking is Konkani. We need to avoid overuse of English in day-to-day conversations, which are normally in the colloquial style. It’s dangerous. The result s are visible. In the name of English, most Goans speak 'Konglish' to each other. It damages our language skills. Students now use this colloquial 'Konglish' for sending SMSes or chatting on Facebook, etc. Wors e, Konglish is used even to answer question papers or send emails. The applications I receive for jobs are full of Konglish, with no sign of good English. The medium of instruction issue is about ‘learning through language’. Learning is grasping, knowing and comprehending. As the Oxford Dictionary says: “learning is knowledge acquired by study.” The language used is just a medium, a vehicle. Obviously, we must use the best vehicle possible to reach our destination – knowledge. We never use the vehicle to study the vehicle, know its mechanism, etc. For that, we learn automobile engineering. To learn good English, we must study English as a subject. Our medium of instruction will not develop our real English skills. S imply, to learn better, we must study in the language we understand best. By this logic, education of all Goans till high school level should be in Konkani. But unfortunately, most people in Goa have studied either in Marathi or English. Is this the reason our dropout rate is a staggeringly high 42 per cent? Do students get fed up of studies because they cannot comprehend the subjects properly? Are they sitting in the wrong vehicle, which cannot drive them to their destination – knowledge? I still cannot understand why there is such a hue and cry over medium of instruction in primary schools when the rest of our education is fully in English. Has any child failed in Std V after shifting from Konkani or Marathi to English? Why is the drop out rate so high from Std VIII onwards? Because the children did not study in English from Std I to Std IV? Or because they are studying in English, which makes it difficult for them to properly comprehend the subjects? I feel it’s basically because we learn in English when our English language skills are not at all properly developed. We are not properly taught English as a language at high school. It is also because parents spoiling their children's English by conversing with them in 'Konglish'. O ur children are not exposed enough to English literature. The reading habit is dead. They learn English only from the television, MP3 player or FM radio. SMS has become their lifestyle. We look for short cuts in each and every sphere of life. Even to develop our English language skills, we are looking for the short cut of medium of instruction, rather than reading literature, and writing and speaking proper English. Even Konkani and Marathi are not taught in a scientific manner in schools. This is a multilingual era. In Goa, we can have the advantage of learning five languages – Konkani, Marathi, Hindi, English and Portuguese. Instead of running behind the non-issue of medium of instruction, if our education system concentrates more on developing Goan children as multilingual youngsters, we could be the best in the whole country. The concern of parents for development of language skills is genuine. But the solution they want – medium of instruction – is a wrong strategy. Even if English medium private primary schools are given grants, the problem of learning good English will not be solved, because we are trying to treat the symptom, not the disease. It's best explained by our own Konkani proverb: “Khorjota ekekoddem ani khorpita dusrekoddem!”

PTI VARANASI, MAY 18

Unfazed by the attack on his claims on the alleged police brutality in the villages of Greater Noida, Rahul Gandhi Wednesday appeared to justify those remarks saying people there had complained to him about the atrocities they were subjected to. Declaring a war against Mayawati government, he said Congress would go to every village of the state and fight for ousting the government. He also demanded a judicial inquiry into the violence in BhattaParsaul villages he visited last week to empathise with the farmers agitating against land acquisition. “Locals said that they were ready to give land. Women and

Bodyguard of Dawood’s brother was target of attack: Maha govt PTI MUMBAI, MAY 18

The slain driver-cum-bodyguard of fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar was "definitely" the target of the south Mumbai shooting incident, the Maharashtra government said Wednesday, while the police said Kaskar was not present at the site. "Initial questioning of those arrested in connection with the incident has revealed that their target was Iqbal's driver," Home Minister R R Patil told reporters in Ahmednagar district. 40-year-old Arif Syed Abu Bukha succumbed to bullet injuries as he was taken to J J Hospital. To a query on whether last night's incident was a fallout of a gang-war, he asserted "there are no gangs (left) in Mumbai, so there is no question of a gang-war." However, Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Himanshu Roy maintained that at this point of time, they could not conclusively say Kaskar was not the target as the two shooters, hired by an unidentified man, had been paid "large" amounts for the job and also provided sophisticated weapons. "Kaskar's bodyguard Bukha was definitely the target of the attack. At this stage, I cannot say that Kaskar was not the target. If Bukha was the only target then why the shooters would get so-

phisticated weapons and large amount of money for the job?" Gunmen Syyed Ali (29), a resident of Mumbra in adjoining Thane, and Indra Khatri (27) from Nepal, had allegedly fired at Bukha in South Mumbai's Dambarwala building in which Kaskar's office is located. The two were arrested from near J J Hospital, while their two other associates managed to flee. The duo was today sent to police custody till May 26. Kaskar, an accused in the Sara Sahara Mall land grabbing case, was acquitted in 2007 by a special MCOCA court. Earlier, Joint Police Commissioner (Law and Order) Rajnish Seth said, "Kaskar was not there at the place of the firing. But this does not mean he was not the target." Roy told reporters Kaskar was at his first floor office in Dambarwala building when the firing took place. "The two shooters went to Bukha, who was sitting near the building, briefly spoke to him and fired a bullet." An injured Bukha started walking towards the building's stairs when the assailants ran after him and pumped in more bullets, police said, adding he succumbed to his wounds before being admitted to a hospital. The attackers tried to escape in a taxi but were caught by local residents, Roy said.

Minissha detained at Mumbai airport with Rs 50 lakh jewellery

PTI MUMBAI, MAY 18

Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba, who walked the red carpet at Cannes last week, was Wednesday detained at the international airport here for not declaring gold and diamond jewellery worth over Rs 50 lakh, an official said. The 26-year-old actor, who landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport from Cannes, France via Dubai by an Emirates flight at 8.30 am, was crossing the green channel when she was intercepted by the Customs officials. While checking her luggage,

she was found to be carrying jewellery worth over Rs 50 lakh in her bag, the official said. "The actress was carrying gold bangles, necklace, earrings and other gold and diamond jewellery in the bag. We are questioning the actress, who tried to evade customs duty by not declaring the goods," he said. Minissha was being questioned till late in the night, the official added. But the airport episode was not the beginning of her troubles. One of her bags was stolen in Nice, France. "Disaster has struck. A baggage of mine has been stolen at Nice Airport. I can't believe something like this has happened," she tweeted. "Even with two CCTV cameras right over the baggage, police or airline still won't confirm if it was 'stolen' or 'misplaced' (sic)," she said. Lamba, whose debut film 'Yahaan' garnered critical acclaim, has acted in movies like 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', 'Corporate' and 'Well Done Abba'.

Dissidence in AP Cong, central leadership nonchalant PTI HYDERABAD, MAY 18

The blues of 1980s and 1990s seem to be returning to haunt the ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh. Dissidence, that has been the hallmark of the state Congress, is raising its head once again, but the central leadership remains nonchalant. The party has been largely in disarray for over 21 months now – after the death of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy – but the high command failed to steer it out of the muddle.

The Congress government is not even in a position to celebrate its anniversary, due on May 20, this year. Majority of the state ministers and legislators are gunning for the head of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who failed to prove his leadership in six months after getting into the saddle. While the Telangana statehood issue has become another headache for the Congress, the biggest threat looms in the form of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy who is eating into the party’s base particularly in the Andhra-Ray-

alaseema regions. The Congress is, however, unable to contend with any of these factors despite the damage being done to the party across the state. The party’s indecisiveness on the Telangana issue needs no special mention, while it has developed cold feet in cracking the whip on legislators and leaders openly sailing with Jagan even after he launched the YSR Congress party. Also, the “lack of co-ordination” between the government and the party in the state has

become a point of intense debate in Congress circles here. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who heads the government, and D Srinivas, who leads the party, are said to be not on good terms, thereby pushing the cadres into chaos, Congress sources admit. “The current situation is reminiscent of the scene in 1982 when the Telugu Desam took birth as a powerful regional party that eventually decimated the Congress. Now, the YSR Congress is born and poses a similar threat,” a veteran PCC leader observed.

(prohibitory orders) has been imposed there. If everything is alright, why people are fleeing? If everything is alright, why a judicial probe is not being ordered? Free and fair inquiry is the need of the hour to fix responsibility”, Gandhi said. Rahul’s remarks come in the wake of media reports quoting

villagers in Bhatta-Parsaul about the alleged police atrocities but disclaiming knowledge of rape of women and burning of farmers. Challenging BSP, which says that he lacked issues, Rahul said that he had a lot of issues and time and would reach all the village of the state to fight with common man. “I will reach every corner of the state and fight with you holding your hands. We will fight them (UP govt) in every village and we will throw them out,” Gandhi said adding it was not a fight for elections. While Gandhi himself remained silent on the veracity of the allegations he made after meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, Congress party came out in his defence saying he only repeated what the villagers told him.

Egyptian named interim Qaeda chief PTI WASHINGTON, MAY 18

A former Egyptian military officer turned al Qaeda militant has been chosen to head Osama bin Laden's terror network temporarily until the slain leader's successor is officially named. Saif al-Adel, a former Egyptian special forces officer, has been chosen as the interim head of al Qaeda, a fortnight after its chief was killed by US forces in Pakistan, CNN reported. Al Adel is believed to have served as a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the group responsible for the assassination of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 and is also believed to have fought the So-

viet forces in Afghanistan. "Al Qaeda's interim leader is Saif al-Adel, who has long played a prominent role in the group," CNN said citing Noman Benotman, who has known al Qaeda leadership for more than two decades. He was once a leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a militant organisation that used to be aligned with al Qaeda, but has in recent years renounced al Qaeda's ideology, the news channel reported. Benotman told CNN that based on his personal communication with militants and discussions on jihadist forums, al-Adel, also known as Muhamad Ibrahim Makkawi, had been chosen interim chief of al Qaeda.

Fake encounter: IPS officer in judicial custody PTI JAIPUR, MAY 18

A CBI court today sent senior IPS officer A Ponnuchamy to judicial custody till May 26 in connection with the Dara Singh fake encounter case. The 48-year-old officer, who was under CBI custody, was produced before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Mahendra Singhal. The IG rank officer was arrested here on Sunday for his alleged involvement in the Dara Singh encounter case, which took place here in October 2006. Meanwhile, Ponnuchamy's advocate A Jain alleged that the CBI violated custody rules by allowing a history-sheeter to meet his client on Monday. He also moved an application before the magistrate seeking action against the CBI. "History sheeter Ramavatar Naalpuria, hailing from Khetri (Jhunjhunu), was allowed to meet Ponnuchamy by CBI on May 16. Naalpuria threatened him. It is a violation of custody rules and we sought action against the CBI," the advocate said. "In August 2010, one of the accused cop Rajesh Choudhary (who has not been arrested so far) had also submitted a representation to CBI that local officers of the agency were threatening those police officers, including him, who were the part of the SOG team which killed Dara Singh in encounter," Jain claimed. Apart from Ponnuchamy, the CBI has till now arrested four Rajasthan police personnel -- inspectors Nisar Khan and Naresh Sharma, sub-inspector Satyanarayan Godara and assistant sub-inspector Surendra Singh. On the other hand, the probe agency is looking for Additional DG (Home Guards) A K Jain and Additional SP Arshad Ali, whose whereabouts are not yet known. The Supreme Court had ordered a CBI enquiry in the case after Dara's widow Sushila filed a petition, alleging that her husband was killed in cold blood by the Rajasthan Police's Special Operation Group. Dara's family members have pointed fingers at a senior state BJP leader claiming that he was targeted because of personal enmity. Earlier, the CBI informed the court that the interrogation of Ponnuchamy is over and it does not require any further custody of the officer. The court directed officials that the IPS officer be provided proper protection at the Central Jail here.

CBI not probing security aspect in 2G: Swamy PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18

Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy Wednesday told a Delhi court that his private complaint in the 2G spectrum case, touching the issue of national security, should be heard separately as the CBI is not willing to club his complaint with its FIR in the scam. Swamy told Special CBI Judge O P Saini that his complaint touches the wider issue of national security which the CBI has not investigated. “I would like my private complaint to be heard separately. I have wider issues (in the complaint) touching the national security aspect, which the CBI is not investigating,” Swamy said. Pressing for his demand for appointment as public prosecutor in the case, Swamy said, “I have every right to be appointed as prosecutor in this case.” He claimed that the CBI’s charge sheet puts the entire blame on former Telecom Minister A Raja, a key accused in the case, whereas all the decisions were taken by Raja and the then Finance Minister (P Chidambaram). The judge later deferred the

hearing in the matter to August 26. The CBI had earlier opposed Swamy’s plea seeking his appointment as prosecutor in the case, saying that his complaint was “not tenable in law” and not “worth accepting”. The agency had told the court that Swamy’s submission regarding clubbing of his private complaint with the CBI’s case was not in the interest of justice and his complaint may be dealt with separately. The CBI had said that Swamy’s allegation regarding possession of disproportionate assets by Raja and issues relating to the national security aspect are not directly related to the 2G scam. “In his complaint dated December 15, 2010, Swamy also alleged commission of offence of possession of disproportionate assets by accused A Raja and issues relating to national security. “These issues are separate and not directly related to the 2G spectrum case, for which this exclusive court has been constituted,” the CBI had said. Opposing Swamy’s prayer that he be appointed as a prosecutor in the case, CBI had said that it is the prerogative of the Centre to appoint a public pros-

ecutor and as directed by the Supreme Court, the government has already appointed senior advocate U U Lalit as special public prosecutor in the case. “The said prayer of Swamy to appoint him as special public prosecutor and direct the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and other prosecuting agencies of the government to assist him in conducting the case is, therefore, not tenable in law and is not worth acceptable,” CBI had said. The agency had further opposed clubbing of Swamy’s private complaint with the agency’s FIR, saying that “all the offences discussed in the complaint case are not included in the police (CBI) case.” Swamy had told the court that he does not have any problem if his complaint is tagged with the CBI’s FIR. Swamy had asserted that the 2G spectrum scam impinges upon national security as Swan Telecom and Unitech Wireless, against whom the CBI had filed charge sheet in the case, had sold their major stakes to two foreign companies Etisalat DB and Telenor, which, he said, is considered by the home ministry “a major threat” to the national security.

We expect another round of meeting with Union Human Resources Minister, Kapil Sibal on Thursday”, he said, while exuding confidence of a positive outcome of the talks. Among those who attended the meeting also included Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserrate while Goa MP Shantaram Naik who was also supposed to be in Delhi with the chief minister did not turn up. Naik said he had fixed a family trip to Delhi and as such was on the train, reaching Delhi only on Thursday.

Karnataka crisis

who wanted the Yeddyurappa regime to be sent packing lock-stock-barrel, the two stalwarts smiled, shook hands, sat next to each other and chatted as close friends meeting after a considerable gap of time. One just had to see it to believe the scene, wherein Bhardwaj placed his arm on Yeddyurappa’s and carried on with an animated discussion. “My work in Karnataka is as the Governor. I have performed my Constitutional function. I will not resign. I am here for five years”, said Bhardwaj while talking to reporters on the sidelines of the function. He, however, made it a point to assert that he admired Yeddyurappa for his hard work. “He works hard putting 18 to 20 hours work for the development of the State. We are friends. There are no hard feelings”, he said. Bhardwaj said, “The Chief Minister is an elected representative. He enjoys a massive majority. Nobody ever disputes that. We are friends. These political tensions are irrelevant. We have to dedicate ourselves to the Constitution and to the laws. My report to the Centre was based on the Supreme Court’s verdict and sent as mandated by the Constitution”. Despite the bonhomie and apparent thaw in the frosted relations between him and the Governor, Yeddyurappa made it clear that there was no change in the ruling party’s position and demand for the recall of the Governor. “I told the President that the Governor had been trying to topple my Government. I told the President that we have the support of 121 MLAs. We demanded that the Government should be protected. We asked the President not to impose President’s Rule in Karnataka”, the Chief Minister told reporters. However, the Governor is yet to take a decision on the State Cabinet’s second request for sum-

moning the State Legislature session from June 2. Apparently, he is waiting for the Centre to take a firm decision on either to accept or reject his report for imposing President’s rule and suspending the State Assembly. The Governor is understood to have told Yeddyurappa, when a ministerial delegation called on him in the evening, that he will take a decision on the State Cabinet’s request after waiting for a couple of days for the Centre to decide on his report.

Girls outshine boys

which 12683 appeared and 9787 passed. In the exempted category, 1067 students registered of which 992 appeared and 323 passed with a pass percentage of 32.56 per cent. The marksheets which were published on the website http://goaresults.nic.in/ give exact percentage and marks secured by students. D’Souza said that “this practice too will cease from next academic year when marksheets will only carry grades and no marks”. The vocational stream had maximum pass percentage of 87.59 per cent, Arts had pass percentage of 66.69, Commerce 79.28 per cent and Science the lowest at 74.60 per cent. The figures revealed that girls outperformed boys in all streams. The passing percentage of girls in Arts stream was 70.42 per cent as against 58.27 per cent for boys. In commerce 83.81 per cent girls passed while 74.24 per cent boys passed therein. In Science stream there was a marginal difference with girls having pass percentage of 73.80 per cent and that of boys was 73.57 per cent. In the Vocational stream, where the percentage of boys appearing for the exams was more than girls, girls outshone with 90.82 per cent as against pass percentage of 85.71 for boys. On a brighter side, four higher secondaries each in Commerce and Vocational stream managed to eke out cent per cent results. In Commerce stream, Bhumika HSS, Poriem, Vivekanand HSS, Balli, Our Lady of Rosary HSS, Dona Paula and Don Bosco HSS, Panjim secured 100 per cent results. In Vocational stream, Government HSS, Canacona, Holy Trinity HSS, Benaulim, St Theresa HSS, Candolim and B B Shikshan Saunstha’s HSS, Dharbandora secured cent per cent result. On the other hand there were three Government higher secondaries, which saw passing percentage of just 15% in science stream - T B Cunha Government higher secondary, Panjim, Sacordem Educational Society, Sacordem and Government higher secondary, Sanguem. D’Souza said that it’s a matter of concern as the passing percentage of science students from government higher secondaries is dipping every year.

Dunna Kesava Rao alias Azad, working in Orissa State Organising Committee (ORSOC) and Andhra-Orissa Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC), the Maoist outfits, surrendered before Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police K Aravinda Rao.

11 die in Afghan protests over NATO killings AFP KUNDUZ, MAY 18

Eleven people were killed and over 50 others injured, including two German soldiers, at protests in Afghanistan on Wednesday

over the deaths of four people in a NATO raid, officials said. Police opened fire as around 2,000 people took to the streets in Taloqan, capital of the usually peaceful northeastern province

of Takhar. The troubles erupted after NATO-led forces said they killed four insurgents including two armed women in an overnight raid in the town.

Russia warns West of Cold War over missile defence AFP SKOLKOVO, MAY 18

President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday warned the West it would face a new Cold War if it failed to address Russia’s concerns over a proposed missile defence shield for Europe. Medvedev told reporters that the US decision to push ahead with construction of the missile defence system despite Russia’s objections will force Moscow “to take retaliatory measures – something that we would very much rather not do.” “We would then be talking about developing the offensive potential of our nuclear capabilities. This would be a very bad scenario.” The Russian leader also reaffirmed any earlier threat to pull out of the new START disarmament agreement that entered

The US decision to push ahead with construction of the missile defence system despite Russia’s objections will force Moscow to take retaliatory measures – something that we would very much rather not do. - President Dmitry Medvedev into force this year if the missile shield is deployed and operated without the Kremlin’s input. “This would be a very bad scenario. It would be a scenario that throws us back into the Cold War era.” Moscow has been fighting NATO plans to deploy a system the West sees as a means of protection from nations such as Iran but Russia believes could potentially be deployed against its own defences.

The Kremlin’s biggest fear is that the shield could one day be turned around and instead of shooting down incoming missiles be used to attack Russian soil. Medvedev on Wednesday demanded a legally-binding assurance from the United States that this will never happen – a safeguard that Moscow says Washington is refusing to give. NATO has thus far invited Russia to voice its concerns in for-

mal meetings but refused to provide Moscow with a formal role in the shield’s operation that it seeks. “We would like to see missile defence develop under clear rules,” Medvedev said in the first broad-ranging press conference of his three-year presidency. Medvedev said he understood the United States’ argument that the shield was not aimed at Russia but rather nations such as Iran. But he argued that such nations do not yet have the capacity to launch nuclear weapons at the West. “ That means it is aimed against us,” said Medvedev. “And if not, invite us to cooperate” in the shield’s deployment and operation, the Russian leader said.

Sweeping cabinet revamp was done after the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) suffered a major poll setback on May 7. The new cabinet will be sworn in on May 21. The party old guard, led by his father Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong, both former prime ministers, are out of the new cabinet. Lee appointed Tamil-origin lawyer K Shanmugam,52, as the new Foreign Affairs Minister.

Queen Elizabeth II visits hallowed Irish massacre site AFP DUBLIN, MAY 18

Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday visits an Irish stadium where British troops massacred 14 people, trying to heal old wounds in a historic step that would have been unthinkable for most of her reign. On the second day of her groundbreaking visit to the Republic of Ireland, the ageing sovereign will set foot inside Dublin’s Croke Park, the spiritual home of Gaelic sports and the site of a bloody British reprisal attack in 1920. Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Gilmore told AFP that the British monarch walking out on the revered turf would be a

“hugely symbolic” moment. Her visit to the stadium with a near mythical role in Ireland’s independence struggle will be followed by a visit to an Irish war memorial and a rare speech at Dublin Castle, the former seat of British power on the Emerald Isle. While noting the vast improvement in Anglo-Irish ties since a peace deal in Britishruled Northern Ireland, the queen is expected to tackle the tensions that have meant she is the first British monarch to visit the Irish republic. A massive security operation is in place for the visit, which both of the neighbouring states, have hailed as a watershed after

decades of unrest in Northern Ireland and centuries of bad blood across the Irish Sea. The fanfare surrounding the queen’s arrival has contrasted with the eerily empty streets of Dublin due to a lockdown exclusion zone in the city centre, with snipers posted atop nearby buildings. Wednesday’s itinerary begins on a lighter note with a trip to the famed Guinness brewery, where cameras will be waiting for the 85-year-old monarch to raise a glass of the black stuff. The most sensitive parts of the day come with a visit to the Irish National War Memorial Garden, dedicated to the 49,400 Irish soldiers killed in World War I.

Pope urges Chinese bishops to refuse splitting from Rome AFP VATICAN CITY, MAY 18

Pope Benedict XVI called on Catholics across the world on Wednesday to pray that Chinese bishops refuse to separate from Rome, in spite of “pressure” from communist authorities. The pontiff appealed for prayers for the 5.7 million-odd Chinese Catholics caught between staying loyal to the ruling Communist Party in Beijing and an “underground” Church loyal to Rome but not recognised by the authorities. “We know that among our brother bishops there are some who suffer and find themselves under pressure in the exercise of their episcopal ministry,” Benedict XVI said at the weekly general audience in St Peter’s Square.

“To them, to the priests and to all the Catholics who encounter difficulties in the free profession of faith, we express our closeness,” he said. The pope called for prayers for the Church in China, “that it remain one, holy and Catholic, faithful and steadfast in doc-

trine.” Relations between the Vatican and the Chinese church became increasingly tense following the “illegal” ordination of a bishop in Chengde last November – without the pope’s blessing. The Holy See has since condemned the authorities in China for intimidating or putting undue pressure on Chinese faithful to break away from Rome. “The church in China, especially at this time, needs the prayers of the universal Church,” Benedict said. “By our prayers... their wish to remain in the one universal Church will prove stronger than the temptation to follow a path independent of Peter,” who is regarded as the first Pope by the Roman Catholic Church.

China, Pak reaffirm their ‘all weather’ friendship PTI BEIJING, MAY 18

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Wednesday vowed to continue their ‘all-weather’ friendship, as an increasingly isolated Islamabad stepped up efforts to drum up support after the Osama episode. Wen held talks with Gilani at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing today. The two leaders reaffirmed two countries will maintain allweather friendship, Chinese state run Xinhua reported. Before the close-door talks, Wen held a welcoming ceremony for Gilani, who arrived in Shanghai yesterday for a four-

day visit to China. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said earlier that during Gilani’s visit, the two sides will exchange views on deepening bilateral relations, promoting pragmatic cooperation in a wide range of areas and other international and regional issues of common concern. Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan said the two countries will sign a number of agreements in the fields of economy, technology and defence during Gilani’s visit. The Pakistan Prime Minister was scheduled to meet Chinese President Hu Jintao later. Gilani’s visit to kick off events to mark 60th year of establish-

ment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, has been overshadowed by Pak-US tensions over the killing of Osama bin Laden. Ahead of Gilani’s visit, China announced “unswerving” support to Pakistan’s counter terrorism efforts and asked US to strengthen anti-terror cooperation with Pak by providing more aid. “Indeed Pakistan is the victim of terrorism.” Pakistan has made very important contribution to international counter terrorism cooperation as well as great sacrifices,” Jiang had said yesterday as Gilani arrived Shanghai for a four-day visit.

Just back from a trip to Pakistan, US Senator John Kerry says the Obama administration expected more from that country to root out terrorist groups holed up there, observing a “fullness of measure of effort” is now required. The comments by Kerry, who had several rounds of discussions with Pakistan’s top leadership, came even as another top Senator Richard Lugar asserted that Pakistan is playing a “double game” and warned that going after some terrorists while “coddling others” may force the Obama administration to cut off aid to Islamabad. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meanwhile said the Obama Administration is working very hard to have an unders t a n d i n g w i t h Pa k i s t a n i leadership on the best way forward in counter-terrorism operations and bilateral relationship after killing of Osama bin Laden on May 1. Kerry told members of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee of which he is the Chairman, “Should we expect more (from Pakistan)? Absolutely. Is it tolerable that some of these entities (terrorist groups) are sitting there on the ground and there isn’t a fullness of measure of effort (by Pakistan) against them? No, it’s not.” Kerry was briefing the Committee members in less than a few hours he landed in Washington, from a long flight from Islamabad. “That’s exactly the conversation that we’re engaged in now,” Kerry said, but was quick to point out that most of the discussion he had with the Pakistani leadership during the weekend’s trip to Islamabad needs to be discussed in a classified session. “I expect the (Obama) admin-

Is it tolerable that some of these entities (terrorist groups) are sitting there on the ground and there isn’t a fullness of measure of effort (by Pakistan) against them? - John Kerry istration in the next days to be pressing the details of that, building on what we’ve created as an outline in the last few days, and I think we can get somewhere,” he said. Kerry also said this is no longer a time for issuing of joint statements. “Now, the proof is in the pudding. I made it very, very clear. This is no longer a time for joint statements issued, everybody goes about their way and there are four more weeks of delay. And, you know, we can’t afford that. But they can’t afford it either. And I think that’s the understanding everybody’s arrived at,” Kerry said. The Senator, who is considered to be close to US President Barack Obama said that US would be able to protect its interest even if there is no cooperation from Pakistan and the access to Afghanistan is blocked by Islamabad.

The Dempo coach was not bogged down with their loss as he pointed that East Bengal have yet to play two crucial matches in Goa against Salgaocar and Churchill Brothers. “The title race is wide open. East Bengal has to play two matches in Goa and that too against two top teams. Salgaocar have played more matches than us. I can still see a very bright chance for our team.”

GFA to take up Vasco’s case AGENCIES PANJIM, MAY 18

Vasco SC held a meeting with the Goa Football Association (GFA) executive secretary, Alberto Colaco on Tuesday, whereby it was agreed that the club’s appeal will be sent to the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Seikhohao Tuboi has been deemed ‘ineligible’ by the AIFF and was barred from representing Shillong Lajong after four matches in the I-League Second Division despite no official protest being lodged against the club, given that Southern Samity’s complaint was dismissed for not being made before their first match.

The regulations of the competition clearly states that if a team fields an ineligible player, the particular side will be ‘scratched’ off thereafter and the opponents shall be declared winners by a +3 goal difference. The team in question will also have to face the music from the AIFF Disciplinary Committee. However, Lajong have claimed that it’s not them but the Indian Football Association, the State association for football in West Bengal, who are guilty of having registered the player in two different competitions with as many clubs. While Kushal Das, the AIFF general secretary, has promised

that action may be taken against those in the wrong, Vasco are arguing about their case and are likely to send another letter to the AIFF with GFA’s endorsement. “If any injustice has been done to Vasco, I am sure GFA will take up their case with AIFF,” Colaco told Goal.com a couple of days back. Sporting Clube de Goa, who made their mark in the I-League Second Division and managed to qualify for the top division league next season, was congratulated by the new GFA executive secretary. “It is very good for Goan football that Sporting is back in the I-League,” he added.

AGENCIES DHARAMSALA, MAY 18

One of the front-runners to win the Orange Cap this IPL season, Kings XI Punjab's opener Paul Valthaty said getting a compliment from his idol Sachin Tendulkar was the biggest achievement for him. One of the revelations of the IPL 4, Valthaty has so far scored 458 runs in 13 matches. Only his team-mate Australia's Shaun Marsh (491) is ahead of him in the leading run-scorers' chart, while Mumbai Indians skipper Tendulkar sits on sixth position with 408 runs from 12 matches. "I think either Gayle (Chris) or Malinga (Lasith) will get the player of the tournament award but I am happy with my own performance. To get a compliment from none other than Sachin Tendulkar, whom I

idolise, is the biggest award for me," Valthaty told PTI Bhasha. "Sachin and Mathew Hayden have been my idol. Sachin briefly spoke to me after a match in Mumbai. He congratulated me for my batting. I can't forget the moment. It has been the high point of my career, my biggest award," said the Mumbaikar. A top-order batsman who occasionally bowls medium-pace, Valthaty shot into the limelight with a blistering century (120 off 63 balls) against Chennai Super Kings. Valthaty, who has dominated all the opposition bowlers in this season, rates West Indies great Viv Richards and dashing India opener Virendra Sehwag as the most explosive batsmen in world cricket. IPL 4 has been a sort of comeback for him. He made it to India's under-19 squad for the 2002 World Cup in New Zealand with the likes of Irfan Pathan and Parthiv Patel where an injury to his eye in the game against Bangladesh halted his development. He couldn't make the breakthrough into senior cricket for years, and got just one opportunity for Mumbai, a one-dayer in 2006. There was no high-profile cricket for him for another few years, till Rajasthan Royals punted on him in the 2009 season.

As another shot from Javier Hernandez rippled the net during Manchester United's pre-season training last summer, Paul Scholes turned to Sir Alex Ferguson and made the most prophetic of predictions. In just a few days, Scholes had already seen enough of Hernandez's predatory finishing to feel confident Ferguson had landed one of the bargains of the season and he tipped the Mexico striker to score 20 goals in his debut season. Scholes' belief that Hernandez would make most the of his im-

Clark calls it quits

AFP SYDNEY, MAY 18

Australian seamer and former Test player Stuart Clark announced his retirement from international and state cricket on Wednesday. The 35-year-old will instead focus on his new role as general manager of the Sydney Sixers in a new eight-team, city-based Twenty20 domestic competition starting this summer. He will continue playing club cricket for Sydney University. "I am going to continue playing club cricket as I still love playing the game, but more importantly I believe I can still help develop Australia's future talent," said Clark, who played 24 Tests, taking 94 wickets at 23.86. "Playing cricket has given me many opportunities in life and I feel by continuing to play club cricket I am giving something back to the game. The Sydney Sixers is now my professional focus, however." Clark played in 39 one-dayers, taking 53 wickets at 27.86.

pact as a substitute seemed wildly optimistic given that he was hardly a household name in world football when he arrived at Old Trafford from Mexican club Guadalajara. Even Ferguson felt it would take the youngster at least a year to become acclimatised to the pace and power of the Premier League. But Hernandez, nicknamed the Little Pea, exceeded both their expectations. He is the first player since Ruud van Nistelrooy 10 years ago to hit 20 goals in all competitions in his debut season for United and has been widely hailed as one of the main reasons for his team's successful bid to regain the title from Chelsea. "Paul Scholes saw him in training and said he would get us 20 goals as a substitute," Ferguson said. "We didn't expect such an impact. We thought a year of introducing him to the club and adapting to English football and strengthening him up.” "He's done all those things already. He comes in every day at nine and he's the last to leave, this boy is very dedicated." From the moment he bagged his first United goal in his debut for United on their pre-season tour of North America last year, Hernandez has fitted in perfectly. A twisting header against Stoke really announced his arrival and his happy knack of being in

the right place at the right time proved invaluable in the Champions League as well, with goals in the knockout rounds against Marseille and Chelsea helping United to the final. By the turn of the year he was established as a key player in United's squad and was soon keeping £30 million signing Dimitar Berbatov on the bench as Ferguson tweaked his formation to let Wayne Rooney cause havoc as a deep-lying forward behind Hernandez. Hernandez thrived on the responsibility of leading United's attack in the club's most important games and the 22-year-old's impact was clear for all to see as he surged onto Park Ji-Sung's pass to score the opening goal after just 36 seconds of the Premier League title shoot-out against Chelsea at Old Trafford. Not bad for a player whose £7 million signing was greeted with a shrug of indifference when it was announced just before the 2010 World Cup. In a season notable for the number of expensive strikers failing to justify their price tags, Hernandez looks even better value for money. Neighbours Manchester City must be casting envious glances at Hernandez after paying a combined £51 million for Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli, only for the duo to score just 15 goals between them this season. The same complaint could be

made at Chelsea, where Fernando Torres has scored just once in a series of lethargic performances after the west London club spent a British record £50 million to sign him from Liverpool. Like Scholes, Ryan Giggs has seen plenty of top forwards during his long career at United and he believes Hernandez ranks alongside the best of them. "Twenty goals in his first season really is unbelievable," Giggs said. "You always have a chance when you have a goalscorer like Javier. He has made a fantastic impact on and off the pitch. "His goal against Chelsea sums up his season. Sometimes

those chances can come a bit early for you. You are not quite up to speed. But on 30-odd seconds he gets a chance and he scores."

Armando Colaco was extremely happy and honoured after the All India Football Federation (AIFF) requested the Dempo SC coach to take over the reins of the Indian National team, with the first assignment being the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. When contacted, Armando told Herald that he was accepting the key post in all humility and asked everyone to be a little patient as far as results are concerned. “We need to have proper planning in place and that’s also calling for long term strategy,” added Armando, who pointed out that he needed everyone’s support. It was last month that Bob Houghton and AIFF parted ways after the Englishman submitted his resignation in return for the dropping of racism charges against him. Since then the AIFF has been on the lookout for apt applicants and with some high profile names in the industry being keen on the job, the AIFF has decided to give Armando an opportunity, something which he deserves given the success he has had with Dempo. “It is more or less agreed upon.

CSK move atop, Kochi out PTI CHENNAI, MAY 18

Chennai Super Kings' incredible run at home continued as the defending champions defeated Kochi Tuskers Kerala by 11 runs in their penultimate encounter of the Indian Premier League at the Chepauk today. Bengal glovesman Wriddhiman Saha's gutsy unbeaten 46 helped CSK to a competitive 152 for five on a slow Chepauk track. The score was good enough for the bowlers who restricted Kochi to 141 for five despite Brad Hodge's impressive effort (51 42 balls, 3x4, 3x6) to notch up their ninth win in the tourney to move to the top of the table with 18 points.

The IPL debutants Tuskers finished their campaign with 12 points from 14 outings. The CSK juggernaut at home keeps on rolling as it was their seventh victory. Ravichandran Ashwin was again the best bowler with miserly figures of one for 16 from four overs. It was Ashwin who kept the dangerous Brendon McCullum (33, 37 balls) under wraps. McCullum was key to Kochi making a match of it and the Black Caps glovesman being kept quiet was half the job done. McCullum was finally out when he tried to give Shadab Jakati the charge but played all over it to get bowled. Tuskers' chance went out of the window after that although Hodge tried his best

which was too little too late. Earlier, Wriddhiman cashed in on the missed stumping from Parthiv Patel to guide Chennai Super Kings to a competitive 152 for five against Kochi Tuskers Kerala on a slow Chepauk track. Having not lost a single match at home, Dhoni's men would like to keep the record intact. On a day when most of the CSK batsmen frittered away good starts, young Wriddhiman (46 not out, 33 balls, 1x4, 3x6) answered the critics who questioned his selection for the tour of West Indies with a responsible knock. Along with Albie Morkel (13 not out), he added 36 runs in 3.4 overs to take the score past 150. For Murali Vijay (16, 11 balls,

Warne escapes ban; fined USD 50,000 PTI MUMBAI, MAY 18

Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne today escaped a ban but was fined USD 50,000 for his public spat with RCA secretary Sanjay Dixit, thus clearing the decks for the Australian spin legend's swansong IPL appearance on Friday. The IPL's Disciplinary Commission, which had summoned both Warne and Dixit for a hearing yesterday, decided to let off Warne with only a fine after considering that the Australian cricketer had already apologised for his outburst. Warne was fined for breach of playing contract and warned of a harsher punishment in case he repeated such an offence. "The Commission has decided to impose a fine of USD 50,000 upon Mr Warne," a statement from the IPL's Disciplinary Procedure Commission said. "The Commission is conscious of the duty of all parties involved in the IPL, to uphold the image and reputation of the game of cricket, the BCCI and the League at all relevant times. Any action which is a breach of this duty is to be treated with all necessary severity.

Govt to stop tax sops for exports rewarding exports on one hand and losing revenue on the other hand," Mitra said. "It will be phased out on June 30. That is the finance ministry's decision," he told reporters. The DEPB scheme is a tax incentive scheme for exporters under which the government reimburses about $1.8 billion a year to exporters on taxes paid on imported supplies. "It will still give some relief to exporters if taxes are reimbursed under the drawback scheme," Ramu Deora, president of the Federation of In-

dian Export Organisations (FIEO), said. The duty drawback scheme is an export incentive scheme also offered by the Indian government that neutralises levies paid on inputs with rates fixed annually, based on the duty structure in the budget. Last week, Trade Secretary Rahul Khullar said India's April exports surged by more than a third on demand for engineering goods, gems and oil products. India's merchandise exports rose an annual 37.5 percent to about $246 billion in the last

fiscal year, surpassing the initial target of $200 billion. The country hopes to achieve at least 25 percent exports growth in the 2011/12 fiscal year that ends in March, and aims to double its merchandise exports within three years, Trade Minister Anand Sharma had said last month. In April, the government rolled back a 2 percent interest subsidy paid to exporters, as it seeks to rein in fiscal deficit -estimated at 4.6 percent of gross domestic product in 2011/12.

Goldman Sachs on Wednesday upgraded State Bank of India to "neutral" from "sell", despite weak earnings, saying it expected the bank's margin could improve in the first quarter of FY12. However, it cut the 12month price target to Rs 2,650 from Rs 2,700 to factor in a fall in earnings estimates. "In our view, SBI's recent valuation correction and measures taken by management, which we believe will help margins, warrants a neutral rating on the stock," the Wall Street investment bank said in a note.

The government has decided to end a tax incentive scheme for exporters on June 30, the country's revenue secretary said on Wednesday, as the export industry in Asia's thirdlargest economy was doing well and needed no incentives. Speaking to reporters, Sunil Mitra said the government faced an estimated annual loss of 80 billion rupees ($1.77 billion) from the Duty Entitlement Pass Book scheme (DEPB), which began in 1997.

US sues Starbucks for firing dwarf REUTERS AUSTIN, MAY 18

The US govt is suing Starbucks, saying the coffee company fired a barista in El Paso, Texas because she is a dwarf. When the employee asked for a stool or small stepladder to perform her job, Starbucks denied the request and fired her that same day, claiming that she could be a danger to customers and workers, according to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The commission, which filed the lawsuit on Monday, said that Starbucks violated federal law by denying a reasonable accommodation to the employee, who was hired in July 2009 and was fired after three days of training. "Starbucks has become a virtual icon of modern American culture, appealing to an incredibly diverse customer base," Robert Canino, a commission lawyer in Dallas, said. "We'd hope that when considering hiring a person with a disability, Starbucks would choose to enhance its brand with the mark of equal opportunity and access."

combination of political stability and improving economic growth sustained by strong domestic consumption and demand for commodities ranging from coal to palm oil. "We talked about Reliance's willingness to invest... including the infrastructure development," said Wirjawan, who was speaking after Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance ADA Group, met with Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta. "They are very keen and plans to invest between $5 to $10 billion if all the projects materialised," he told reporters. Reliance ADA Group has al-

ready bought a coal mine on Sumatra Island and plans to build infrastructure, including railway, to transport its coal to the nearest port. The Group is also looking to invest in a new Jakarta rail line to the airport. Wirjawan did not provide details on the timeline of investment while Ambani declined to comment after the meeting with the president. Several Indian companies in January signed a number of agreements totalling $15 billion to build infrastructure projects, including airports and steel plant to help the country overcome the lack of infrastructure development.

India Mkt remains least favoured: poll REUTERS LONDON, MAY 18

Global fund managers have sharply cut Turkish stock holdings in the past month, swinging into an underweight position for the first time in over three years, a survey by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch showed on Tuesday. While emerging markets remained investors' most favoured sector in May, with a net 29% overweight, they pared positions in big markets such as Russia, Brazil and China, and increased the size of their underweight on India. Turkey stood out, however, with a net 5 percent of fund managers now underweight versus the 32 percent who said they were overweight in April, data from the survey showed.

Michael Penn, global equity strategist at BoA/ML, said the last time investors were underweight Turkey was in March 2008, and noted the market's lacklustre performance this year and high oil prices that have fuelled a record current account deficit. "This is a very substantial one-month drop by the survey's standards," Penn told Reuters. "We get the impression investors have lost patience with Turkey. They were overweight for a long time but saw no outperformance this year, now inflation is rising and in many people's minds their policy experiment has failed." He was referring to the Turkish central bank's efforts to cool the economy by raising banks' reserve ratios while

twice cutting interest rates. That has hit bank shares and many say aggressive rate rises will be needed to tame inflation. Investors' new-found bearishness could have serious consequences for Turkey, which relies heavily on portfolio investments to finance its current account gap. Elsewhere, Russia remains the most favoured market, with a net 53 percent of fund managers overweight, but this is down from 74 percent last month, BoA/ML data showed. The cutback coincides with recent steep falls in oil and metals prices, the mainstay of the Russian economy. Penn described the scaling back as taking money off the table rather than a wholesale change in view. Investors have

been overweight Russia since mid-2009, he noted. "Historically Russia has been a pure energy story but more and more people now also seem to be viewing it as a domestic demand story," Penn said. "So the effect of the fall in oil prices is not as damaging to Russia positions as it used to be." Similarly in Brazil, investors halved overweight positions to 21 percent, which Penn said was related to fears of a slowdown in China and a selloff in Brazil's materials sector. The survey showed fund managers also cutting China overweights slightly to 42 percent. The index is dominated by exporters and is less prone to a slowdown in the domestic economy.

EU energy cuts may raise imports REUTERS OSLO, MAY 18

EU plans to cut energy use by 2020 risk raising the proportion imported from outside the bloc, partly due to domestic nuclear power curbs, Danish academic and environmental writer Bjorn Lomborg said. The European Union, which imports half its energy, set a goal in 2009 of reducing consumption by 20 percent below projected levels by 2020 as part of a package to fight climate change that is also intended to boost security of supplies. But Lomborg, a Danish statistician, said the targets would slightly increase imports as a

share of the 27 nations' dwindling energy use. Imports, mainly of fossil fuels, would fall less than domestic energy output by 2020. "The numbers seem to indicate we will be importing more rather than less" as a percentage, Lomborg told Reuters of findings in a study of EU energy security he commissioned by experts at the University of Oldenburg in Germany. The study projected that the EU's climate and energy package would raise energy imports to 52.4 percent of total EU consumption in 2020, from 50.0 percent in 2004, he said. Without the package, im-

ports would make up just 50.9 percent in 2020. Among shifts, the Oldenburg study projected that domestic nuclear power would roughly halve, rating it especially vulnerable to taxes on primary energy use. "That should be a great cause of concern when the EU has said... 'We are going to make Europe more energy secure'," he said. Lomborg, head of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, won fame as author of 1998 book "The Skeptical Environmentalist". "The overall point is that (the EU goals) won't really matter," he said, of EU targets for cutting energy use, reducing

greenhouse gases and shifting to renewable energies such as solar, wind or geothermal sources by 2020. AMBITIOUS The EU says that its policies are among the most ambitious by developed nations for combating global warming that the UN panel of climate scientists says will cause more floods, droughts, heatwaves and rising sea levels. The Oldenburg study projected a "very modest" overall improvement in EU energy security by 2020 under the EU goals, largely because a smaller percentage of EU gross domestic product would be spent on energy.

Govt funds in nationalised banks only PTI PATNA, MAY 18

Bihar government has issued an order that the funds of the central and state governments, besides whatever earned through other sources, must be

parked in nationalised banks or regional rural banks in Bihar. "The funds of the central and state governments and whatever other amount received through other sources be parked only in national banks or regional rural banks in Bihar", state Finance de-

partment's Principal Secretary Rameshwar Singh said in a circular. The copy of the circular was made available to mediapersons, at the State Level Bankers' Committee (SLBC) meet here. "In no circumstances, such funds be transacted through private banks", the circular said. The state government had

also decided that the Finance department (Institutional Finance) would circulate the list of the banks district-wise every quarter, it would not be appropriate to keep the funds in such banks whose performance was found to be far from satisfactory during the review, Singh said, adding the directive would be strictly implemented.

Rs 30,000 cr black money recovered by CBDT PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18

Taxmen have seized black money to the tune of a whopping Rs 30,000 crore in the country in the past two years, said the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) which is set to get investigative powers to boost its drive against wrong-doers. The CBDT is in the process of creating a Directorate of Criminal Investigation after getting approval from Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee last week. CBDT chairman Sudhir Chandra said they have gone after big shots and every search or survey has yielded more than Rs 100 crore in black money. Addressing 'National Seminar on Black Money', Chandra said, "Through IT searches and surveys, we have realized around Rs 30,000 crore of black money" in the past two years. "In the last two years, through IT searches, we have uncovered Rs 18,500 crore of black money. That shows we have not gone after small people and we have gone after big people. "What is the use of mopping the floor if the tap is open. We are trying to close the taps?" he said. He said his officers did not move out of office unless they got clinching and conclusive information. Noting that they used to get a lot of complaints, mainly due to personal vendetta, he said

the CBDT was profiling High Networth Individuals. "Everyone is on our radar," he said. He said since February, the Income Tax Department has issued 1.15 crore refunds across the country which runs into Rs 1.04 lakh crore. "The income tax refund is your money. In terms of money, it is Rs 74,000 crore upto March and another Rs 30,000 crore in April and upto May 15," Chandra said. He also said the income tax collection has gone up by three times in the first 45 days of this fiscal compared to the same period last fiscal. "Last year till May 15, the gross collection of income tax was Rs 9,000 crore, this year it is Rs 28,000 crore. In 45 days, it has grown up three times," he said. He said Income Tax investigation department is being strengthened. "We are also setting up a new dedicated and computerised exchange of information cell. Whatever information we want from countries, they can send it our cell, will coordinate with identical cells of foreign countries. "CBDT is also also in the process of creating a Directorate of Criminal Investigation. The Finance Minister has given his approval last week.

We need infrastructure to support it," he said. On the Liechtenstein accounts, he said the information what India got from them cannot even be shared with the Enforcement Directorate. "Now we are devising some methods to allow non-tax enforcement agencies to access this. India is also considering signing multilateral convention and mutual assistance in tax matters," he said. Noting that India plays a leading role in improving the coordination and exchange of information on black money, Chandra said the situation has changed with regard to sharing information. "We have identified tax havens. We have negotiated agreements with 14 countries. Three agreements with Bahamas, Nermuda and Isle of Man are already in place and we are getting information from these countries," he said. He also said that there was a provision of declaring a country as non-cooperative jurisdiction if it does not share information. "Once this is done, a company of that country doing business in India or an Indian company doing business with that country, there will be a higher withholding of tax," he said.

Sensex falls 51 points PTI MUMBAI, MAY 18

The BSE Sensex fell for the third day today - down 51 points at 18,086 - on sustained selling in heavyweights amid capital outflows on lower-than-expected corporate earnings, high interest rates and rising fuel prices. Analysts said the decline happened despite firm trends in Asian as well as European markets, as India is not very high on the list of foreign funds at the moment. Selling in heavyweights like RIL, SBI, Tata Motors, ICICI Bank and ONGC pulled down the Sensex. Brokers said that had there not been buying in counters like HDFC, ITC, TCS and HDFC Bank, the fall would have been much bigger.

Why Men love their Machines

Good health doesn’t mean tasteless food. Keeping a check on how you eat and how much you eat allows you to eat the food you love, without guilt

HERALD FEATURES en’s love for all things mechanical can probably be traced back to that first caveman who invented the wheel.

M BY DOLCY D’CRUZ HERALD FEATURES ver felt guilty for ordering a whole sea food platter when you’re date has ordered just a salad? Relax; men have the potential to consume more food than women and they love it. They are capable of gorging down a whole portion of meat while women will be satisfied with just a slice of steak. As it turns out, a man’s body structure, like the height, broad shoulders and muscles, demands more food as compared to a woman’s body structure, which is comparatively petite. But does their body structure allow them to get away with eating fatty, oily foods high in carbohydrates? Zenia D’Lima, Dietician at the Manipal Hospital, says, “Men, depending on their body composition, have a higher intake compared to women. When you notice a man and a woman, you can easily make out the difference of their built and muscles. The intake also should be equal to one’s lifestyle. In practice, men don’t eat according to their activity as most of the cases of obesity in men are due to their sedentary lifestyle. They eat in excess and don’t burn out any energy. There is a lot of input and no much output. They maintain the same diet that they have followed for years and are sitting in an office without any activity to burn the fat. This is specially noticed in the Upper middle class of society as most of the men occupy office jobs and are used to travelling by car. The lower class is more hardworking; like the farmers and people doing menial work who burn out what they eat.” She further adds, “Another important factor is age. As men age, their metabolism to burn the food also goes down which means that their eating habits have to change according to the body changes. For weight loss, one should be careful of their food intake. I always stress on basic diet and the frequency of eating something. It makes no sense in eating six pieces of chicken at the same time; there are always good and bad effects on the body. Each meal should be limited to one non vegetarian item. Vegetables are high in fibre, minerals and proteins but meats are high in heme iron which is absorbed and processed easily by the body.” Giving a few quick tips on how to maintain diet after 35 years of age, Zenia says, “Egg white should be eaten more compared to egg yolk as egg white is just protein with zero per cent fat and the yolk has a higher percentage of fat compared to proteins. Egg should be consumed with boiled, poached or scrambled with milk instead of oil. Carbohydrates and proteins are good for the diet and can be easily found in cereals like wheat, rice, jowar, corn and oats whereas pulses are good for proteins and carbohydrates as well.”

puter-based. From the dawn of civilisation, women have always wondered about the reason behind men’s almost innate interest in the technical and the mechanical. In the article ‘Worlds Apart: Women, Men and Technology’, Margaret Brenston, a teacher at the Computing Science Department and the Women’s Studies Program at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia makes a mention of societies expectations from boys and men. She writes, “In our society, boys and men are expected to learn about machines, tools and how things work.” This is true. Stereotyping begins as soon as the doctor exclaims, ‘It’s a boy!’ The development of a child is then influenced by her/his nurturing. When the people surrounding a little boy encourage him to play with trucks, action figures and toy guns, a desire to further explore items of such a nature is only fuelled. And the exploration does not stop, as the base is deep-rooted in childhood. No explanation needed. More exposure, more interest; more interest, more exploration and so on and so forth. Nurture therefore is one major reason in explaining this affinity. While we agree to the aforesaid, man’s nature by itself is also a factor that draws him towards technology. The right brain-left brain theory surfaces here. The verbal, sorting, detail-oriented side of the brain is the left and the spatial intuitive nonverbal side is the right. Now boys and men naturally display overt behaviour that shows right brain dominance. Experts say that this dominance, along with its reinforcement by society, allows them to smoothly sail through the intricate sea of technology. (NF)

‘Stop or I Might Have to Shoot’ Is what most men would love to scream but getting down to reality, being armed is as much a part of being a civilised human-being, as being dressed. Herald details... BY CHRISTINA VIEGAS HERALD FEATURES man would love to flaunt the fact that he is armed with a pistol at all times. He sees it as something that enhances the significance of his image. Men know that bad boys are more appealing to most women. But get chatting to men with pistols in Goa and you learn that despite the fact that guns mean a status symbol, most do not want to flaunt the fact that they are constantly armed. And moreso, because of the present mess that Goa is in. Yet, imagine yourself with a baby in arms or with a six-year-old kid and you are trying to retreat from a menacing threat from your attacker. Practically, even martial arts are virtually useless in such a scenario. A weapon which can be effectively used one-handed is essential, even if confronted with a mountain lion. Here comes the invaluable handiness of a pistol, whereby a large section of Goa’s populace has learned to stay safe by carrying their protection tool on them. According to them, “It is vital to understand that real-life thugs depend on nonresistance for success. When effective resistance is offered, most retreat promptly.” Inexorably, we relate shooting to violence. People with a proficiency in shooting are jeered at to the extent that they get reticent in flaunting their achievement and subconsciously they relegate it to something violent and inferior. People only rake up instances where children have misused their parents’ firearms. But what about the many children whose parents have responsibly and safely raised them in their homes with firearms; children who are properly taught and monitored about safe firearms handling procedures and grow up to be responsible citizens and good contributors to society? So, who is eligible to procure a legal arm? Only the affluent and the influential? According to top cops, “Any citizen of Goa.” They continue, “But, he/she has to have

a clean criminal background record and be free of any kind of insanity, which we will dutifully investigate before issuing a licence.” In countries abroad, getting a concealed carry-permit requires attending a stateapproved training programme covering weapons’ ‘use and safety’ as well as the laws about when people can use guns to defend themselves. But in Goa, no formal training is offered. The ones who apply already have guns handed down traditionally from generation to generation, only few go in for new licences. Unfortunately, there are no routine checks to investigate the pistol owner’s state of mind in terms of depression, impetuosity, insanity etc. This springs up the question of the safety-seeker becoming a threat to others’ safety, which does not beget a satisfactory answer from the authorities. But, guns have long been called equalisers, enabling almost anyone, even the aged and the disabled to fend off an attack. No other tool offers as good a chance to remain unhurt in the face of a criminal attack. The advocators of legal arms opine that if a predator is shot, it is a better outcome than having her/him succeed and be emboldened to compulsively attack other innocents in the future. Yet, the people who decry the above, say that most often it is the politicians and the influential ones who are armed, so who can really prove whether she/he was really attacked or was the attacker? As according to them, these are people who will get away with any crime committed.

DID YOU KNOW? Why does Helium make your voice sound funny?

iota Pronunciation eye-OH-tuh Function Noun Meaning 1: the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding to the English ‘i’ 2: a very small quantity or degree; a jot; a bit Example Sentence Though James was guilty he lied in court without an iota of guilt or shame.

LAFFS

Ever heard someone who has just inhaled from a balloon talk funny? The reason for this is the helium in the balloon. What it does is change the timbre of your voice. When you talk, air travels from your lungs up through the larynx and out of your mouth. The larynx has a pair of vocal folds which form a V-shaped slit. When the air is leaving, it hits the underside of the vocal folds and makes them vibrate. This vibrating excites air molecules in your vocal tract. Helium is much lighter than air. Because of this, the speed of sound is much higher in helium. When you inhale helium you increase the speed of the sound of your voice. The shape of your vocal tract doesn’t change. If you increase the speed of a sound you also increase the wavelength. However, on the way to the ear the sound travels through air again and the wavelength goes back to normal. It’s not the change in frequency that gives you the squeaky voice but a change in pitch. The sound has the same frequencies but helium causes a shift in your timbre. This means the higher frequencies are getting a higher enhancement than normal so the pitch changes. The end result? You sound like a chipmunk. But remember, every time you inhale pure helium, you are not inhaling oxygen. Whatever you do, never inhale helium from a high pressure tank! Besides the serious risk of lung damage, you could end up with bubbles of helium in the arteries that lead to your brain which can be fatal.

ICG celebrates the Works of Ruskin Bond on his Birthday

Test your Intellect at MahaQuizzer 2011

HERALD FEATURES orld renowned author Ruskin Bond turns 77 today, May 19, 2011. To mark the event of his birthday, The PageTurners Club of The International Centre Goa, is organising a book reading session to celebrate his writings for children at The International Centre Goa – Dona Paula from 3-6pm. A prolific writer with a vast canon to his credit, Bond, of British descent, is a resident of India, living in Landour near Mussourie. Whatever flak the education system in India might come in for, the inclusion of Ruskin Bond stories across the curriculum in schools has been a positive step. Children grow up with Ruskin Bond stories of nature, animals, bazaars, festivals of India and values like friendship, animal protection, love for one’s country. His writing style is lucid, flowing and conversational. His writings are the best examples for creative writing classes for aspiring young writers. The essence of life in the humdrum cycle of everyday is portrayed with great finesse. The Rusty series beginning with his first book ‘Room on the Roof ’ crafts the dichotomy of daily happenings with the picaresque story of growing up. Finding our goals in our journey through the mundane is the larger frame of his stories. Film adaptations of his books and stories ‘The Blue Umbrella’, ‘Junoon’, ‘7 Khoon Maaf ’, and TV productions on BBC and Doordarshan have further enhanced the reach of his plots to a bigger audience across the world. The reading session at ICG will be anchored by Jugneeta Sudan. It will entail readings from books: ‘Room on

Revisiting History on International Museum Day BY DOLCY D’CRUZ HERALD FEATURES nternational Museum Day was celebrated across the world on May 18, 2011. In Goa, the day was especially earmarked for activities that instill an interest for artefacts and history in youngsters as well as tourists that flock to Goa. To celebrate the day, the Archaeological Survey of India, Western Region (Museum Branch) held a photo exhibition called ‘Museum Objects: Reminiscent of the Past’ with a special reference to the Museums in the Western Region right in front of the St Francis of Assisi Church, Old Goa. The exhibition was inaugurated by Shripad Naik, Member of Parliament, North Goa and Member of Central Advisory Board of Archaeology, in the presence of Amarnath Ramakrishna, Deputy Superintending Archaeologist, Western Region, Shriguru Bagi, Assistant Archaeologist and Curator of the Museum at Old Goa. Also in attendance were Dr N P Singh, Director of ICAR and Karl D’Souza, Manager of State Bank of India, Old Goa. The photographs consisted of monumental structures from the

regions of Bijapur, Dholavira, Lothal and terracotta figures from the Harappa region. An illustration of the St Francis of Assisi Church by L Mendes, completed in the 18th century, is also on display at the exhibition. Shriguru Bagi and Amarnath Ramakrishna explained the photographs to Shripad Naik and stated that the museums in the Western region are mostly site museums which signify their place in history. The Archaeological Museum in Old Goa has been declared the Head Quarters for the Western Region Museum which are seven museums in the states of Goa, Karnataka and Gujarat. The most recent excavation by the ASI team was conducted at Chandor during 1999-2005. The entire report with model and artefacts are on display at the Museum. Entry was free to the museum for the entire day and school children and tourists seemed to make the most of it. On an average, the museum receives 1,000 visitors everyday.

HERALD FEATURES oday, May 19, 2011, is the last day of the exhibition, titled, ‘Bond of Nature and Life’ by Piety D’Silva at the Art Gallery at Kala Academy. A total of 42 paintings are on display including some from the previous Diwali collection. The paintings beautifully deal with the theme of the exhibition and some of the works transcend a different dimension when light reflects on them. One eye catching painting, titled ‘Dancing Tree’, portrays an image of a peacock with its bluish green feathers open. When asked about the painting, Piety said, “I want to show how nature and life are bonded.

A peacock opens its feathers when it starts raining and those feathers look like a tree with its outstretched branches. Nature and life are the main elements that are living in harmony and are setting an example for human beings to preserve and bond with nature.” A few paintings give a three dimensional effect like the ‘Sound of Muzica’ and ‘Touch the Sky’. other beautiful paintings include ‘Hand in Hand’ and ‘Twilight Rowing’. The mediums used are acrylic on canvas and mix media on canvas. The exhibition was inaugurated by Pratapsingh Rane, Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly, in the presence of Chief Town Planner of Goa, Morad Ahmad and Nikhat Ahmad.

Is Nick Jonas dating Delta Goodrem?

I will still work with Ranbir: Deepika Padukone

ctress Deepika Padukone is looking rejuvenated and charged to face the world. Not even the mention of the controversy her last item number in Dum Maro Dum generated leaves her ruffled. “If the audience had a problem with the lyrics, then I’m sorry that is not my fault. But I don’t regret it. In fact, I consider myself fortunate to have been a part of an iconic song like that,” she says. Her eyes, however, light up when she talks of her next film Desi Boyz, which sees her being paired with John Abraham. Much is

Brad Pitt’s The Tree Of Life booed at Cannes

ctor Brad Pitt’s new film The Tree Of Life with veteran star Sean Penn failed to impress the critics at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Director Terrence Malick’s long-awaited film garnered boos and lacklustre applause from the audience. In the film, Pitt plays a brutal and strict father, while Penn plays his eldest son as a grown man. However, the director was not present at the screening. Pitt defended Malick’s decision to stay away, insisting it is not up to the director to “sell” the movie. He said, “I don’t know why it’s accepted that people who make things in our business are then expected to sell them, and I don’t think that computes with him. He wants to focus on the making of it, not the real estate, selling the real estate. It is an odd thing for an artist to start something and then be salesman.”

being written about a budding friendship between the two. “John is a great co-star and I am really happy to be working with him,” says Deepika, adding, “We are good friends and I know people are looking forward to seeing us, but so am I.” The actress has been spotted with biz honcho, Siddhartha Mallya following her break-up with actor Ranbir Kapoor. Considering much has happened post their break-up, would she still work with Ranbir? “We haven’t been offered a film together of late, but we are still open to working with each other. I am still looking forward to working with Ranbir.”

inger-actor Nick Jonas is reportedly dating Australian singer Delta Goodrem. Jonas, 18, and Goodrem, 26, were snapped holding hands as they left a movie theatre in Los Angeles recently. The singer posted on Twitter, “I feel so blessed. Had a great weekend.” Nick has had several famous girlfriends. The latest ones were colleagues of the Disney Club. When he was 14, he started dating Miley Cyrus. They dated for 2 years. Following Miley, it was rumoured that Nick was seeing Selena Gomez. They broke up, got back together, then broke up again, this time for good, in 2010. Goodrem, on the other hand, parted ways with fiancé and Westlife singer Brian McFadden after seven years last month.

mran Khan plays the lead role in Delhi Belly and also features in the just-released promotional song Bhag D K Bose, but he wants Katrina Kaif for the item number that is to be added to the adult comedy, directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Aamir Khan. Following the trend, Aamir has decided to add an item number in the film, but he hasn’t decided on whom it will be picturised. When reporters asked Imran who his choice would be, he promptly replied: “My vote is for Katrina Kaif. I have told Aamir mamu that he should consider her for the item number.” What’s so special about Katrina? Imran smiled and said: “For her jawani.” Imran has made it clear that Bhag D K Bose is not to get one up on Ranbir Kapoor, whose Rockstar would release just after Delhi Belly, which is releasing on July 1. “There was an article which says we wanted to play trumps on Rockstar, but this is really not the case. It’s a theme of our film. I feel it’s the anthem that would come many times in the film,” said the actor, who plays a journalist in the movie.

Pursuit of Happiness can Backfire

eing happy is good but pursuing happiness too much can backfire, warns a latest study based on happiness. The tools often suggested for making yourself happy aren’t necessarily bad – like taking time every day to think about things you are happy about or grateful for, or setting up situations that are likely to make you happy. “But when you’re doing it with the motivation or expectation that these things ought to make you happy, that can lead to disappointment and decreased happiness,” said June Gruber of Yale University, who has co-authored the research along with Iris Mauss of the University of Denver and Maya Tamir of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It is one of the many downsides of happiness – people who strive for happiness may end up worse off than when they started, according to the study. The study also found that people who read a newspaper article praising the value of happiness felt worse after watching a happy film than people who read a newspaper article that did not mention happiness – presumably because they were disappointed they did not feel happier. When people do not end up as happy as they had expected, their feeling of failure can make them feel even worse. Too much happiness can also be a problem. Researchers have also found that people who feel extreme amounts of happiness may not think creatively and also tend to take more risks.

n engineer in Washington claims to have invented a device that can tap solar energy more efficiently than a solar panel. The biggest failing of solar panels is that they can only collect about a fraction or just 20 per cent of available light but Patrick Pinhero, a University of Missouri engineer, has developed a flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 per cent of available light. “Our overall goal is to collect and utilise as much solar energy as is theoretically possible and bring it to the commercial market in an inexpensive package that is accessible to everyone,” said Pinhero, who plans to market prototypes within the next five years. Energy generated using traditional photovoltaic methods of collection neglects much of the available solar electromagnetic (sunlight) spectrum, he said. The device his team has developed – essentially a thin, mouldable sheet of small an-

tennas called nantenna – can harvest the heat from industrial processes and convert it into usable electricity. Their idea is to apply it to a direct solar facing nantenna device capable of collecting solar energy in the near infrared and optical regions of solar spectrum. Pinhero, working with his former team at the Idaho National Lab and Garrett Moddel, his counterpart at the University of Colorado, has now developed a way to extract power from the collected heat and sunlight using special high-speed electrical circuitry. ”If successful, this product will put us orders of magnitudes ahead of the current solar energy technologies we have available to us today,” added Pinhero. Within five years, the research team believes they will have a product that complements conventional PV solar panels. Because it is a flexible film, Pinhero believes it could be incorporated into roof shingle products, or be custom-made to power vehicles.

Binge Drinking impairs Memory of Youngsters

inge drinking can attack memory even in adults as young as 18 years of age, a Spanish study has found. Heavy alcohol consumption makes it more difficult to build new memories because the hippocampus, a brain area which plays a vital role in learning and memory, succumbs to its poisonous effects, researchers at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain claim. “Binge drinking could affect memory of young adults, which might affect their day-to day lives,” said researcher Maria Parada. The study examined 122 Spanish university students aged 18 to 20 years of age divided into two groups – those who engaged in binge drinking and those that abstained. They were then subjected to a neuropsychological assessment which included recalling visual and verbal experiences. “Most attention has focused on negative consequences such as traffic accidents, violence or public disorder, society and students themselves are unaware of the damaging effects binge drinking may have on the brain,” Parada added. These findings are particularly worrisome as binge drinking is a growing problem in the UK and other European countries, particularly among the young. Editor –in-chief: R F Fernandes.
