From HERALD, Sunday Mirror.
By Frederick Noronha
Some helped build the steel frame of British colonialism. Others spent their lives fighting alongside their Black brethren against British and other foreign rule in East Africa. Some were cardinals, while others were Free Masons. From the tiny region of Goa came forth world-class men (and women) of medicine, super- cops, scientists and sculptors. And more.
If you thought Goan achievers were just in a field or two, then check up their impressive list of achievements. There are names that pop out from the world of music, the military, economists, educationists, engineers, and even governors and ambassadors.
This becomes clear in a recently-published book by octogenarian Dr. J.Clement Vaz. At 82, and despite living outside Goa for long, Vaz remains a Goaphile at heart, and tackles the task with keenness.
Fortunately, author Vaz has undertaken this labour of love -- most books on Goa hardly rake in profits -- at a suitable point of time. Vaz's life spans colonial and post-colonial Goa. Had he not written it, many of these personalities would have been unknown to or forgotten by the generation of youngsters which don't have much contact with the past and can't read Portuguese either.
Vaz has come up with an impressive listing.
Early on, Goa gained a plethora of big names amidst the Catholic religious. There were two Cardinals -- Valerian Gracias in Bombay and Joseph Cordeiro of Pakistan -- and two Apolostic Nuncios. Eight archbishops of Goan origin have served in Bhopal, Delhi, Calcutta, Nagpur, and Agra, besides Goa itself. Vaz lists over three dozen bishops too, the latest being Filipe Nery Ferrao, who was consecrated auxiliary bishop of Goa in 1994. Later, people from this region went to excel in many other fields.
Great men of science also have the made-in-Goa stamp on them.
One of India's pioneer of the food-irradiation programme was Dr Norman Lewis of Goa. Other prominent men of science included medical practitioner Emidio Afonso, who was also a mini-sculptor, a violinist or an ingenious mechanic. Just out of his teens, he reconstructed with the simplest available material a simplified version of Sir J C Bose's crescograph, an instrument for measuring the sensitivity of plants.
It was a Goan who discovered protozoa, parasites, microbes and viruses many of which bear the Latin name given by him followed by the name "de Mello" as the discoverer.
Dr Froilano de Mello (1877-1955) was a research scientist of high caliber, a successful professor, a literary man, and an eloquent impromptu speaker. He did remarkable work for improving the health of the malaria-endemic city of Old Goa by mapping the entire area so as to discover the source of malaria. By 1927, this work was completed and over 18,000 wells with stagnant water were uncovered in the jungle that had grown where Old Goa existed two centuries earlier. He fought valiant battles against TB and leprosy. He was hailed as one of the foremost leprologists.
Datta V. Naik (50), known as Kumar to his friends, is a product of St. Xavier's Mapusa who showed that youngsters given the opportunities in Goa can even receive a Certificate of Recognition from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Remember the Bunsen burner from your chemistry lab? It was Goan scientist Agostinho Vincente Lourence (b.1862) who went to Germany to work under the famous chemist Bunsen. There's a bust of Lourence in the Lisbon Academy of Science, which stands besides Lavoisier and others. There's also a bust at the Municipal Garden in Margao. Abbe Faria's achievements in hypnotism are also too well known.
Goa threw up renowned Indologists and were experts in studying coins. one such illustrious figure was Damodar Dharmanand Kossambi (1907-1966).
Goa's supercops include the well-known Julio Francis Ribeiro, later ambassador to Romania. John Lobo (b.1921) was the Director of India's Central Bureau of Investigation. He introduced innovative features in the Bombay police, including its data processing unit, dog-squad, conviction index bureau and the like. He was Chief Security Liaison Officer to two prime ministers.
Caejetan Joseph Vincent Miranda of Loutolim was director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. "During his scintillating tenure of three years, the ACB struck terror into the hearts of smugglers, and as a result of his successful anti-smuggling drive, the government exchequer was substantially enriched," says Vaz.
Big names from Goa in the military include Air Marshal Terence Joseph de Sa (b.1928) of Sangolda, Major General Antonio Caetano da Silva (b.1930), Major Gen. Eustace D'Souza, Lt. Gen. F.T.Dias of Velcao, Lt. Gen.S.L.Menezes of Sangolda, Lt.Gen Eric Alexander Vas of Saligao, Gen Sunit Francis Rodrigues of Curtorim, who rose to the highest post in the Indian army.
Manoel Antonio de Souza of Mapusa who went to Mozambique and consolidated "his little kingdom" by "driving back the attacks of natives". He played a role in pushing ahead the frontiers for the Portuguese, and organised a little kingdom and a "perfect little state" with an army of 30,000 men and its own guns, fortresses and administration.
Goans -- despite coming from a tiny portion of Planet Earth -- are everywhere, it would seem. In a plane crash, when a VVIP plane crashed while accompanying ex-PM Morarji Dessai at Jorhat in Assam, the pilot who died was a Goan, Clarence de Lima.
Both in propping up a colonial order, and trying to destroy it, Goans had a role.
Pio Gama Pinto boldly took the side of Africa in colonial times, and rose to become director of the Pan African Press. He worked to set up the Lumumba Institute, designed to train party officials of the KANU.
Aden-born Keith Vaz of the House of Commons, and Canon Castilho Serpa do Rosario Noronha (elected for three successive terms as representative of Portuguese India) are other prominent members of Parliament.
Rama Krishna Hegde played the role of peace-maker between opposing factions of Goan patriots. Patriot Telo Mascarenhas did a Portuguese translation of the autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi. Laxmikant Bhembre, in forced exile in Portugal, conducted classes on the Bhagvadgita for Portuguese enthusiasts.
Peter Alvares, from Parra, was a seasoned activist, socialist and founder of many unions for railways employees.
Others from here have earned fame by wielding the pen.
Journalists like Dom Moraes (b.1938) has won the American Press Club Citation for Excellence in Reporting, for some 20 articles he wrote for the "New York Times Sunday Magazine". People like humourist and management expert George Menezes speak as many as nine languages -- French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Marathi, Konkani, Kannada and English!
Jawaharlal Francis "Joe" Rodrigues was an editor in Nairobi, and an executive board member of the International Press Institute. Frank Moraes is, of course, a big name.
Writer Ladis da Silva has written on the Inuit and the North American Indians. Joseph Furtado (1872-1947) of Pilerne was one of the early Goans who attempted to write poetry in English.
Books by Goan authors -- like Lambert Mascarenhas' "Sorrowing Lies My Land" -- has been translated even into languages like Telugu, points out this new book.
Goa has also thrown up multi-faceted scholars like Jose Pereira (b.1931) who is -- all at once -- a writer, orator, historian, musicologist, theologist and a naturalist of a high order.
Mariano Jose Saldanha (1878-1975) was involved in organising Konkani programmes to be broadcast to Goans in British East Africa and the Gulf region. Fr Antonio Pereira (b.1919) has scores of books and publications to his credit, mainly in Konkani. Francisco Luis Gomes (1829-1869) of Navelim was hailed in Europe as the "prince of intellectuals".
Mons. Sebastiao Rodolfo Dalgado (1855-1922) of Assagao had a penchant for knowing the basic structure of a language. He acquired familiarity with Malayalam and Sinhala, with Bengali and Kannada, and even studied Marathi and Sanskrit. In 1892, he produced a Konkani-Portuguese dictionary and later a grammar.
Sixteenth century Quelossim genius Krishnadas Shama left behind several stories in pure Konkani, which entitle him to be called a brilliant writer of Konkani of the sixteenth century.
Other talent too flows from the hands of people from Goa.
Artist Francis Newton Souza (b.1924) was the subject of a book published in London. Titled "Souza", the book with text by English critic Edwin Mullin looks at this artist's career in the UK. Ramchandra Pandurang Kamat of Madkai was hailed as a genius among the sculptors of his time, during his travels in Europe.
Agnelo da Fonseca, of Santo Estevam, is noted for his talent of presenting Christian themes in Indian setting and style. Fonseca painted for powers both spiritual and temporal. His paintings are in churches of Pune, while Lisbon commissioned him to do a large painting on the death of Dom Joao de Castro in 1953. He was also requisitioned by Lady Maharaj Singh, wife of the then Governor of Bombay, and Viceroy of India Lord Linlithgow.
Goa has produced a number of top medicos too. Dr Sanjay Khope of Cuncolim has a surgery technique named after him -- Khope's Operation. Dr Sandra de Sa Souza (b.1943) has been hailed as one of India's pioneer in cochlear implant surgery, providing new hope to the totally deaf. Her dad, Dr Joe de Sa, was a well-known ENT specialist in Bombay. Dr Luzito de Souza, her cousin, is an internationally known oncologist.
Dr Chicot Vaz is a leading neurologist in the country. Other prominent medical specialists and surgeons include Dr. Eustace J. de Souza, US-based medico-surgeon Dr Yvan J das Dores Silva, cancer-surgeon Dr. Luis Jose de Souza, physiologist Dr Anthony Charles Duarte-Monteiro, and late Dr Manuel Vincente Alfredo da Costa (who has a hospital named after him in Lisbon).
Dr Arthur E de Sa of Asnora was an eminent surgeon, and accompanied Lady Edwina Mountbatten to riot-stricken areas of West Pakistan at the height of the communal frenzy after Partition.
Dr Vithal N. Shirodkar, of Shiroda, has the famous 'Shirodkar Technique' for opening blocked fallopian tubes and the cervical hood. Noted cancer surgeon Dr Ernest Borges of Ucassiam is another big name.
Dr Acacio Gabriel Viegas (1856-1933) is credited with the discovery of the outbreak of bubonic plague in Bombay in 1896. He was responsible for saving many lives and eventually controlling the plague.
Dada Vaidya, from a family of Ayurveda physicians, and in true family traditions never accepted any fees and on the contrary gave drugs he prescribed free. For him the art of healing was a vocation and a sacred duty. He also began a campaign towards preventing diseases.
Goans have also come out tops in the fields of judiciary and law. Fitz R S de Souza, bar-at-law and PhD from London, was an important figure in African politics. Particular Kenya's struggle for freedom.
John Maximian Nazareth (1908-1989) was president of the East African Indian Congress, and also served as puisne judge of the Kenya Supreme Court. Justice Vassant Krishna Tamba (b.1926) has served as a judge of the Supreme Court of Portugal. Goan judges have served in Angola and Mozambique, as did Aleixo Antonio Xavier Jose Ludovico da Costa (1904-1976). Justice Kashinath Trimbak Telang was called to the bar at the age of 22 and was an authority on Hindu Law. He later was judge of the High Court of Bombay, and he was the only one to be selected for special mention in the Cambridge History of English Literature.
Luis da Cunha Gonsalves (b.1875) wrote as many as 14 volumes on his studies of Civil Law.
Late Manuel Menezes (1922-1996), recently caught up in the Konkan Railway controversy in Goa, was a high-caliber technocrat. Alfred Julius D'Souza (b.1923) of Saligao was an assistant commissioner of income tax.
John Francis Ludger Gracias (1888-1969), among the first Goans to migrate to Kenya, played a major role in the establishment of the Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours. He was awarded with an MBE by King Edward VIII -- one of the few honours bestowed by King Edward in his short reign.
Brilliant Goan civil engineer Bismark Dias is remembered for designing the town of Vasco da Gama, with its tree-lined boulevards and gardens. In the US, he has done work on devices used in colour TV receivers, and also ultrasound imaging devices.
Charles Correa, another Goan, has designed monuments ranging from the Kasturba Gandhi Samadhi at Pune, to Salvacao Church in Bombay and hotels in Andamans and Kovalam.
F Paul de Mello is a Goan engineer who has earned name and fame in Brazil. His brother Dr Victor F B de Mello rose to professorships at the three principal universities in Sao Paulo.
Engineering prodigy Suman Moolgaokar, born in Bombay, earned a big name in Tata's. In his tenure, TELCO's entry into the manufacture of passenger cars merited him being called the father of India's automobile industry.
Way back in 1957, Albert Vivian D'Costa of Aldona was already investigating weak bridges. William Xavier Mascarenhas, an associate of the legendary Sir Visheshvarayya, was involved in pre-Independence planning of major roads, bridges and river valley projects.
Engineer A X Moraes rose to meet the crisis of floods in Gujarat in 1927. Grateful public thanked him at a public meet in Nadiad.
Despite what it might seems, Goans have skills at diplomacy too.
Placido D'Souza (b.1933) was ambassador to a large number of countries, including in the West Indies, Panama, Zaire, New York, Port of Spain, Hong Kong and Nairobi. Another diplomat of Goan origin, Peter Lynn Sinai (b.1933) topped the competitive exams in 1956.
Anthony Lancelot Dias, ICS (b.1910) was praised for negotiating India's foodgrains with "great ability and success". He was appointed Lt. Governor of Tripura in 1970 and later Governor of West Bengal.
During the time of the Bangladesh war, a Goan was taking care of refugees flooding into the area -- Governor A. L Dias -- while another, Peter Lynn Sinai, was involved with the formation of the Bangladesh Division at the Ministry of External Affairs.
Educationist Rev Dr Hubert Olympus Mascarenhas (1905-1973) was an Indologist of repute who spoke 11 European languages, in addition to Sanskrit and several Indian languages. But his intense patriotism brought him into conflict with the then British archbishop of Bombay.
Jose Gerson da Cunha (1844-1900) from Arpora in Bardez is one of India's prominent historian and Orientalist. Besides Konkani and Portuguese, French, English and Sanskrit, he could handle Pehlevi, Italian, Persian and German. He was also conversant with Marathi. Collector of coins, he had a collection of nearly 27,000 pieces of gold, silver and other baser metals.
Dharmanand Kosambi (1876-1947) studied Pali and was a renowned Buddhist scholar.
Goan Victor J Menezes (b.1949) of Bardez has been storming the corporate world as one of the heads of Citicorp. Peter Joseph Joaquim Pinto (b.1915) of Sangolda has been appointed alternate executive director for India on the boards of the IMF and World Bank. Maurice Gracias (b.1923) of Carmona is an economist. In the US foreign service, Gracias was chief auditor and was assigned to 16 African countries.
Prabhakar R Narvekar has the distinction of being appointed one of the three deputy managing directors of the IMF. Born in Goa, he was educated in Bombay and Columbia University. He joined the IMF in 1954.
Eric P.W.da Costa (b.1909) has been heading the Indian Institute of Public Opinion, after a significant meet in 1952 with George Gallup, past president of Gallup Polls Inc. He was also earlier president of the World Association for Public Opinion Research. Earlier, da Costa was appointed as assistant to the chief minister of Mysore State. He was invited by noted industrialist, G.D.Birla, to direct the Textile Machinery Corporation of India, and was editor of the 'Eastern Economist' in the 'forties.
Musicians have also made their name for Goa. In a big way. Rev Dr Lourdino Barreto is author of over 100 major works, and his compositions have been performed both in India and abroad. Noel do Carmo Flores was dean of the faculty of music at the University of Vienna. He started piano studies at the age of five, tutored by Goan teachers, and is an alumni of Don Bosco's in Panjim.
Kishori Amonkar, Luis Remo de Maria Bernardo Fernandes, Jitendra Abhisheki, Lata Mangueshkar, gifted opera singer late Olegario Frank based in the UK, Kesarbai Kerkar (1892-1977), Dinanath Mangueshkar, and the father of the Goan tiatr Joao Agostinho Fernandes (1871-1947) are among the other names mentioned in the music section.
Dr Owen Pinto made his name in the field of sports medicine in Bombay. Leo Pinto was part of the flood of Goans who hit Indian hockey at one time. In 1948, for instance, there were five Goans in the Indian Olympic hockey team that played at Wembley.
Other Goans were also early starters in the field of sports. In 1913, the club of Goans calling itself the Lusitanians won the prestigious Aga Khan Hockey Tournament.
Former 'O Heraldo' editor Dr Carmo Azavedo makes some interesting points in his article on the Goan Diaspora. Britain occupied Portuguese Goa between 1798 and 1812. During their stay here, they had to avail themselves of the services of Goans in various capacities. Appreciating their qualities of "head and heart", the British began recruiting Goans in increasing numbers. First as cooks, butlers and stewards and then as clerks, accountants and so on, as Azavedo puts it.
This was the beginning of migration out of Goa. We don't have a clue as to how many emigrants there are now. But the oft quoted figure is that at the turn of the century, out of a total population of 500,000 people in Goa, abound 100,000 lived outside the territory. Primarily in Bombay.
Goans have since fanned out to various pockets of the globe -- Madras, Calcutta, Delhi, Belgaum, Poona. Pakistan too. Burma, Ceylon and Aden, all then part of British India. Then farther, into Kenya, Uganda and Tanganiyka, as well as to Australia and New Zealand. Some reached Macau, Timor, Mozambique, Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea and Sao Tome e Principe. Goans have also reached Portugal, UK, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the US.
"It is natural for any group of persons to glory in their own heroes. That gives them a deeper understanding of their own identity. It also affords them role models for imitation and a sense of collective achievement and pride," comments Bishop Ferdinand J. Fonseca in the foreword to this book.
Priced at Rs 400, Vaz's 'Profiles of Eminent Goans: Past and Present' was published late last year by Concept in New Delhi.

I'm totally new to this, so please bear with me. I have WP running, but after reading some of the Codex I tried to locate where I can upload media through the control panel. However, my control panel consists only of the Dashboard...no sidebar, just the dashboard and add-ins at the bottom.
What am I missing?

We consider a network consisting of N nodes and a certain number of links that could be used to interconnect these nodes. The problem we address is to determine the smallest subset of switching nodes (in which to provide optical or electronic switching capability) necessary and sufficient to provide full end- to-end connectivity among all nodes. It is shown that this selection leads to the minimum number of transceivers needed to achieve full connectivity. We then address the same problem with the additional requirement of survivability, whereby the failure of any one link does not lead to any disconnection in the network. To solve the above stated problems, we present heuristic and optimal algorithms, and we study how the number of switches varies with the number of potential links.

Vanguard Espod Plus 203APThis particular Model is very good in terms of its sterdiness....you can confidently mount even your heavy SLR on it. Even then its weight is reasonable enough to carry. The mount angles it provides are quite good which gives you the flexibility to take pictures even with tough angles. It has a easy Camera mount feature that helps you take Camera on and off the tripod in seconds. All and all a good bargain. Full marks for Flipkart for their secure and timely delivery.

best value for money tripod for travellersi have a d5100 with 18-105mm. i am more of a traveller and this tripod meets my needs perfectly.if you can spend a bit more look at alta+ 203ap. i also use the head and centre column with camera attached as monopod for unconventional angles!

Excellent tripodBought this tripod for use with canon EOS T4i. The construction is faultless and all mechanisms work perfectly.. Very stable and the pivoting action is really smooth. Attaching and detaching the camera takes only a second when you use the provided attachment accessory. Only the provided bag could have been a bit better. Other than that its a good product.

Semi-Permanent Bench Grinder Mount
Threaded inserts keep grinder locked-down, but easily movable.
My work table often pulls double- and triple-duty for tons of shop tasks. Most often it's sharpening, but I also use it for drilling, holding bench hooks and shooting boards and occassionally as a chop-saw station. Hopefully soon, it will also hold a midi-lathe. Since I plan on rearranging the top pretty regularly, I wanted a way to... read full tip

Right now my wordpress account is on an IP address that will soon have a domain pointing to it - will this be a problem for my links? Even though I enter links as relative links (i.e.
a href="?cat=1" rather than

Written in 1636, this classic play from Spain's Golden Era, examines the question of pre-destination and man's desperate attempts at controlling the future. A fantasy, set in the "exotic" Kingdom of Poland, finds King Basilio has sequestered his son, Segismundo in the mountains due to horrible prophecies at the birth of the boy. The time has come for Basilio to name his heir. He brings Segismundo out of seclusion to see what will happen, but has the young man "drugged" and brought to court in his sleep. This way if things don't turn out, Segismundo will be told that he only "dreamt" of being freed from his cell in the mountains.

After reading the unprofessional letter the VP of PETA wrote to Lady Gaga, I have to say her response was perfection. Like Gaga, I don't agree with wearing fur, etc. but when they recently accused her of doing just that because of pictures and videos they had seen, they went too far in the what they said to her. I dont' believe for a second that she wore real fur.
I've included both open letters below. In PETA's, the Senior VP Dan Mathews asks Gaga if she has amnesia because she had in the past said she doesn't like fur and hates it and they request to know her official stance on the matter. He also says that Gaga is making herself a target like the "mindless Kim Kardashian". With respect to that, he's referring to when Kardashian was once flour bombed at a red carpet event for having previously worn fur. When you read his letter, you'll see how immature it sounds and I feel they should have just contacted Gaga directly if they had questions about what she was wearing, rather than making accusations they can't backup. Read the back & forth below.
Dear Gaga,
Many of your gay fans, I among them, have long admired what you told Ellen: "I hate fur, and I don't wear fur." I included a link because these recent photos of you in fox and rabbit and with a wolf carcass make it appear that you have amnesia. I'm also including this brief video hosted by Tim Gunn showing the violent cruelty that you promote when you wear fur. What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it's fake, or are you a turncoat? Many gays are animal advocates because we recognize that the same arrogance and indifference that some have toward animal suffering has at times been directed toward us personally because of our orientation. PETA has long participated in Pride events around the country, and just last week, we helped lead protests against Chick-fil-A. But by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose.
We await your reply.
Dan Mathews
Senior Vice President
"I want you to know that I care deeply about your feelings and views, and I will always support your philosophies about life. I do not however support violent, abusive, and childish campaigns for ANY CAUSE. Particularly one that I respect. 'Animal Rights.' I am choosing not to comment on whether or not the furs I purchase are faux fur-pile or real because I would think it hypercritical not to acknowledge the python, ostrich, cow hide, leather, lamb, alligator, 'kermit' and not to mention meat, that I have already worn.
I respect your views, please respect mine. And to campaigners, Save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry. And Kim Kardashian is fabulous."

Egypt leader says public opposes the Brotherhood
FILE – In this Saturday, May 26, 2012 file photo, Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq speaks to the media during a press conference at his office in Cairo, Egypt. Earlier this week, the military received criticism from deep within its establishment. Shafiq, the former head of the air force and the last prime minister under Mubarak who came in second in the 2012 elections, criticized the army's support of el-Sissi and said he would not run for president, according to a recording of a private conversation leaked on the Internet. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra, File)
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's interim leader on Sunday said that the general public opposes the inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood in the political process because he said it uses violence.
In a wide-ranging interview broadcast late into the night on CBC television, Adly Mansour said that any member of the Brotherhood who renounces violence and gives up membership in the group is welcomed to join the upcoming elections.
"If people are convinced (and vote for them), they are welcome," said Mansour, the interim president installed in July after the military removed Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood member, following mass protests against him.
Mansour said he can't open negotiations with the group, which he [auth] blamed for the wave of violence that hit Egypt after Morsi's ouster. The military-backed government has labelled it a terrorist organization after it blamed it for orchestrating violence following a major attack against a police headquarters
"Negotiate with whom? Those who committed violence, incited it? … The whole public would stand against me."
The Brotherhood denies it uses violence in its opposition to Morsi's ouster, and the government has offered little evidence to prove the link between the attacks and the group.
Mansour also denied complaints that the crackdown against the group and those who oppose the interim government has been heavy handed, saying that security forces only pursue those who carry out violent acts.
Since Morsi's ouster, thousands have been detained at protests by his supporters. Hundreds have also been killed.
While Mansour acknowledged that some abuse by the police does take place, he said it was not systematic.
"I don't deny that some members of the institution can carry out repressive acts, but it is not systematic," he said.
Mansour said he expects he will hand power over to a new president within two months, when results of the presidential elections are announced. The date for the election has yet to be announced but it will likely be held in April.
The country's powerful military chief, Field Marshall Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, has emerged as the only strong candidate for the presidency, and would likely win if he runs, given the backdrop of rising nationalist sentiment amid fears of militant Islam.
Mansour acknowledged that the recently passed presidential electoral law could face legal challenges, but he expects the Supreme Constitutional Court to uphold it.
The law, issued by Mansour last week, has been criticized by many politicians and potential presidential candidates because it protects the elections commission from legal challenges. Some argue the decree violates the country's newly adopted amended constitution and are preparing to contest it.
Also Sunday, a former Egyptian presidential candidate close to the country's youth movements said he would not take part in elections, calling them a "farce" stacked in favor the powerful military chief.
Khaled Ali, an active labor rights campaigner during the time of Hosni Mubarak, said the election favors only one candidate. While not calling out el-Sissi by name, Ali's comments were aimed at him.
Ali also said state institutions and the media are all geared toward el-Sissi's expected candidacy — undermining the chances of a fair competition with any other candidate.
"Stop the puppet theater that you have opened," Ali told journalists. "We are not against the candidacy of any former military leader, the military which we respect. … But stay away from the army for a year, and let the media and the people treat you as a human, one that acts like humans who can make mistakes and can do right and be criticized."
Mansour said he expects the race to be competitive, despite the criticism. He said it is up to el-Sissi to announce whether he will run or not.
Only one civilian candidate so far, leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, has announced he will run. Sabahi has also sharply criticized the law.
Earlier this week, the military received criticism from deep within its establishment. Ahmed Shafiq, the former head of the air force and the last prime minister under Mubarak who came in second in the 2012 elections, criticized the army's support of el-Sissi, according to recordings of his private conversations leaked on the Internet.
"I know they will fix all the ballot boxes for (el-Sissi). … It will be a farce," Shafiq said in the recordings.
Shafiq himself was believed to have presidential aspirations, but had said earlier he would not run if el-Sissi was nominated.
He also said the military's public support for el-Sissi mires the armed forces in politics.
In a statement Thursday, Shafiq said he stood by his comments criticizing the army taking a role in Egyptian politics, but added that the military had since fixed its mistakes. He also renewed his support for an el-Sissi candidacy.
Ali's and Shafiq's comments, coming from opposite sides of the political spectrum, cast doubt on the coming election. Egypt's military-backed government hopes the vote will shore up its legitimacy after the ouster of Egypt's first democratically elected president.

Pensioner who attacked Tony Abbott on Wake Up program over Budget has a Labor past
- From: The Courier-Mail
- May 15, 2014
A FIERY granny who gave Prime Minister Tony Abbott a bollocking on national television over controversial pension changes has Labor links dating back to the 1960s.
No disclosure of Vilma Ward's past was made when she took to the airwaves yesterday — where she was introduced as a Brisbane pensioner — but the Norman Park resident has appeared in Kevin Rudd election flyers and once offered to run as the Labor lord mayoral candidate.
RILED UP: 'We'll choke to death'
BUDGET CALCULATOR: How it hits you
But the 85-year-old said she was no Labor stooge and nobody had told her what to say or do.
Appearing as a guest on Channel 10's Wake Up program, Ms Ward accused the Prime Minister of speaking rubbish and demanded to know why he was picking on pensioners in Tuesday night's Federal Budget.
"If we pull the belt any tighter, we'll choke to death," she said.
"Mr Abbott, you're a comedian, sir, you're a comedian."
The Prime Minister said the pensioner had given him "a piece of her mind".
"I suspect you didn't vote for the Coalition last time and if you don't want to do it again, that's your right," he said.
Mr Abbott's suspicions seemed right, as it was quickly revealed Ms Ward had Labor Party links dating back to the 1960s and as recently as 2010.
Ms Ward has a long history with the party, including being a campaign committee member for former member for Griffith and prime minister Mr Rudd, a former ALP Norman Park branch secretary in the 1960s, and her husband Len Ward was a Transport Workers Union boss.
In 1988 she even offered to run as the ALP lord mayoral candidate for Brisbane.
The outspoken pensioner is also an Order of Australia Medal recipient and was very active in Brisbane in the 1960s to 1980s, raising money for a variety of charities, acting as a consumer rights advocate as well as fighting community campaigns on a wide-range of issues.
Ms Ward said she had given up her party membership more than 30 years ago.
"I'm not an ALP member and my politics have nothing to do with what the Prime Minister of Australia is doing to pensioners," she said.
She said Ten had approached her for the interview, did not ask about her background and no one from the ALP had put her up to the confrontation.
"The ALP has nothing to do with my life, or with what I say or don't say," she said. "My argument is with the Prime Minister.
"Let me make this clear — nobody put me up to anything. Nobody."Originally published as Abbott's attacker no Labor stooge, but ...

The two tourists killed in yesterday's horror crash at
Pelorus in Marlborough had only just met and were sharing a
ride, police say.
The driver and one rear passenger of the same vehicle, both
men, died after their vehicle collided with a ute on the
Pelorus bridge between Nelson and Blenheim yesterday.
One of the men was from Germany and the other was French.
A 25-year-old German woman, the front seat passenger and only
survivor of the other car, has a broken collar bone and
serious bruising.
She told police the trio had only met recently and were
sharing a ride.
A 33-year-old Marlborough woman, the sole occupant of the
ute, received a broken ankle which will require surgery.
Both women are in Blenheim's Wairau Hospital in a stable
Senior Sergeant Peter Payne, of Marlborough, said it appeared
one of the vehicles had crossed the centre line.
He said conditions at the time were atrocious, with
torrential rain and low cloud.
Serious Crash investigators are on the scene today and police
are working to contact next of kin.

Submitted to: American Journal of Enology and Viticulture
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: April 15, 2003
Publication Date: December 15, 2003
Citation: Perez Pena, J., Tarara, J.M. 2003. Mobile chamber system for field measurements of whole-vine photosynthesis. American Journal of Enology and Viticulture. Technical Abstract: Six flow-through chambers (8m^2 volume) were built for the measurement of gas exchange (CO2 and H2O) from whole vines under deficit meant to impose water stress at different stages of berry growth. Chamber design criteria and materials used were selected to minimize the chamber effect and to accommodate the trellis of a mature, field-grown vine. A framed design allowed the chambers to withstand sustained winds up to 13 m/s, overcoming one disadvantage of the balloon-type chambers. The effects of the enclosure, the "chamber effect," was quantified. At canopy height, air temperature was no more than 2.5 degrees C higher than at the same height in an unchambered canopy. Over 24 h, solar radiation inside the chamber was 90% of ambient. For vines irrigated according to standard industry practice, maximum values of net CO2 exchange approached 15 umol/m^2/s^1, whereas in deliberately water-stressed vines the maxima approached only 10 umol/m^2/s^1. Likewise, the chamber system detected a reduction in transpiration among water stressed plants, where maximum rates averaged 2 mmol/m^2/s^1 as opposed to vines under standard irrigation, at 4 mmol/m^2/s^1. Apparent light saturation for canopy photosynthesis was approximately 1200 umol/m^2/s^1 PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) for vines under standard irrigation, and about 800 umol/m^2/s^1 for vines under additional water stress.
