Finally the ever awaited list of National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)  is out which has names of 8,041 beneficiaries out of which only 34 are politicians and rest are from bureaucracy , criminals, businessmen and other accused.

There is a huge demand from various corners of the society to take resignations voluntarily or in voluntarily from the people who benefited from this law and are still serving in the government.

The point of view of government as presented by federal minister for information and governor of Gilgit-Bultistan Qamar Zaman Kaira is that demanding resignations from NRO beneficiaries uncalled for.  The reason he gives is one will have to differentiate between charges and crimes and that nothing has so far been proved against the NRO beneficiaries which on principle seems to be OK! But can the information minister inform us about the pending cases and trials of common people in courts who have to justify their innocence before law to get acquitted and if the NRO angels where innocent then why they took refuge in a dictator’s shelter of NRO.

The question here is of morality and social justice that why an elite group of people found it necessary to get a clearance certificate through a draconian law instead of facing the courts whereas a common man has to face years of trial to get justice.

Still no full list of beneficiaries and cases is provided to the people and media.

We also demand the list of people who got benefits from loan forgiveness or unfair settlements through corrupt political and banking practices.

ISLAMABAD – List of beneficiaries of National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) released by Ministry of Law and Justice on Saturday took the top politicians of the state to task and perceived them as black sheep of the society.
Some 34 politicians have been ranked first in the list of some 8,041 persons in terms of money, murders, attempted murders, balwa, embezzlement, corruption, malpractice, terrorism, kidnappings and other crimes of heinous nature. Keeping in view their massive embezzlements, these politicians seem to be heavy burden on the country that is already facing a severe financial crunch.
The Law Ministry for the first time has brought the big fish to surface by releasing the list of country’s most corrupt people. “The notorious guns of malpractice of these black sheep which left the poor at the mercy of God had been used as common practice against the innocents since decades,” NRO list observed.
The top beneficiary of NRO is Altaf Hussain whose 72 cases including 31 murder cases were dismissed. President Asif Ali Zardari had seven cases against him, while the number of Dr Farooq Sattar’s cases was 13. Most politicians had one to two cases against them. Madam Nusrat Bhutto, the spouse of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, also heads over thousands in the notorious list.
The MQM headed over other political parties whose workers hit the iron when it was hot. However, the PML-Q workers kept them away from that shoddy practice.
Addressing a press conference, Minister of State for Law & Justice Mohammad Afzal Sindhu on Saturday released the much-awaited list of the beneficiaries of NRO. The total number of NRO beneficiaries is 8,041 and 34 top politicians, 248 bureaucrats and three ambassadors are included in it, he told.
“Corruption, embezzlement and criminal cases dumped under NRO will likely to be reopened, as the goose of the said ordinance will be cooked on November 28, 2009,” he said. Many stalwarts of the country’s political arena will fight legal battle in the courts as the top court of the country terms NRO null ab initio, he explained.
Sindhu also announced a few important names in the list, which include President Asif Ali Zardari, MQM Chief Altaf Hussain, Begam Nusrat Bhutto, Federal Ministers Ch. Ahmad Mukhtar, Rehman Malik, Dr. Farooq Sattar, and Babar Ghori, Governor Sindh Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad Khan, Jahangir Badr, Anwar Saifullah, Yousaf Talpur, Ch. Shaukat Ali, Haji Nawaz Khokhar (late), Agha Siraj Ahmad Durrani, Mir Baz Kithran, Mushtaq Awan, Sulman Farooqi, Hussain Haqqani, Wajid Sham-ul-Hassan, A.R. Siddiqui, Saleem Shahzad, Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, Mian Mohammad Rasheed, Tariq Rasheed, Tariq Mahmood, Sardar Maqsood Leghari, Ghani-ur-Rehman, Javed Ahmed Qureshi, Brig. (Retd) Imtiaz, Brig. (Retd) Aslam Hayat, Safdar Barqi and Saeed Mehdi.

“Sindh is on the bottom line in the said list as some 7,793 people obtained relief under Article 2 of the NRO’s Review Board. The number of beneficiaries of the Review Board is 3,230,” he said.
He said that neither Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani nor his wife had taken benefit under the NRO. “Prime Minister Gilani had opted to face the courts in the cases filed against him and he has been cleared by the courts,” he argued.
The minister said that President Zardari had protection under the Article 248 of the Constitution and couldn’t be tried in any corruption or criminal case as far as he was the President of the state. “We will not protect anyone against the decision of the Supreme Court,” he maintained. The ruling PPP has taken decision that the judgement of superior judiciary would be accepted at all cost, he added.
Parrying a query when asked how much amount was involved in corruption cases abolished against beneficiaries of NRO, Sindhu said, “The demand was the list and it is produced before the media.”
Advocating NRO beneficiaries, he said most of the cases were political vendetta and had been lingering in the courts for 10 to 15 years. “PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif has himself admitted that Ehtesab Bureau of Saifur Rehman had initiated political cases against PPP leaders,” he added. The PPP would have to give credibility to the chief of a major political party, he remarked.
The notorious NRO granted amnesty to politicians, political workers and bureaucrats who were accused of corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, murders and terrorism from 1st January 1986 to October 12, 1999, he emphasised.
The State Minister for Law said the myriad corruption cases had been pending since decades, adding only one case was decided and after that three judges had to resign.
Answering a query, he said NRO was brought in the Parliament at the direction of the Supreme Court and the verdicts of the higher judiciary would be respected in future as well.

These diseases are killers, they are not been warned about as significant as much as with cancer, professorates should start a case study upon these auto-immune diseases and on Polio disease.

The respiratory completely fails with some of these diseases, such as with Polio and Guillain-Barré.

The condition of the people in which they have been victimized by such disease proves clearly, that hygiëne is still poor in this world.

The relation between science, and justice proves here a new conjectural thought, it can kill imminently or if it doesn’t it probably still will.

A preventive cure and a permanent cure should co-exist in hospitals by now, if not immediate responsibility’s should be taken.

Tiefus is a very harsh killer, a persons breathe condition becomes completely wasted.

041 Get Invisaline

I went on the site and did the questionaire. Now all I need to do it go in and get a quote. I will also need to be more flexible with time to keep up with the replacement trays. The only thing holding me back is cost, I will need to save up for this one.

062 Create a moisturizing routine (you are not 27 forever)

I have been using lotion 99% of the time after showering. I also have been doing well washing my face before bed and moisterizing. I’m glad this is coming so easily.

052 Put $0.50 in a jar (daily) or bank account (weekly) for 1001 days (CoinStar every 250 days for physical change)

The easiest way for me to maintain this goal is to add a weekly amount to one of my ‘hard to get to’ checking accounts. So I can say I added two weeks worth last week and set up an reminder weekly to continue each Friday.

029 Get to and maintain last goal weight [1/6]

I lost a pound this week! Woot!

082 Take multi-vitamin daily

I have taken one every single day, this one is becoming routine quite easily.

010 Create a weekly cleaning schedule and stick to it

I have been making sure all my laundry is done on Thursdays so I’m good for the weekend. I still need to actually make a list and keep to it, this is goal is to have a structured full-house schedule.

028 Donate 1,000,000 grains of rice [4,290/1,000,000]

I do this at random once a week or so, I should find a time to do this though.

Home Mac:

Work PC:

064 Finish homework the week it’s due

I am on day two of college as of right now and have stayed ahead of homework. And, honestly it’s not real homework at this point.

020 Become active on my Flickr account

I went in and deleted any files in my Flickr account and uploaded pics I am proud of. I’m well on my way, now I just need to pick my camera up and get back into taking photos.

&At any time, any where.

As long as it’s with you, it doesn’t much matter

what it is we’re doing <3

Columbia Street Thinking Express – Volume 041
When I looked into the calendar on my desk a fews ago, the first thing that hits me like a bag of bricks is the fact that this decade is closing out. So much has changed in ten years. Met new friends, re-acquainted with old faces, and said farewell to friends and family who have left us. We have no Y2K to scare us this time from enjoying 2010’s anticipated arrival.

I remember in 1999, half the people I know where scared to heck about Y2K, everyone else was excited about the millennium. Some of you wonder what the heck is Y2K? Ah, it’s good to be young eh? Internet just starting up, the leafs got better, the Raptors had a new star in Vince Carter, the Blue Jays were still average, and Mel Lastman was mayor LOL.

What do I hope to see for the next decade of 2010-2019?
- racism becomes an extinct issue only seen in history books
- inter-cultural exchanges more closer than ever before (mixed cultures will be the new cool)
- contagious optimism (countering the pessimistic mind of society)
- Getting back to the family unit (people realize a normal family is not a bad thing, really)
- An educated, idealistic, and brave generation taking on the world’s challenges and giving hope to older generations who thought it was impossible, and sparking the interest of the younger generation to follow

Problem is I doubt any of the above will happen. There are way too many bad, ignorant, and pessimistic people in the world.

Going into the last year of university is part exciting, part unknown. Half of me looks forward to getting out of Waterloo and good riddance to all-nighters, crazy assignments, rude TAs, and profs who don’t care about the students. Most of all, not having to give money to an administration that neglects the student body. I can rant about this in a book, but that’s another issue for another day.

As for the new Waterloo logo, I love the response of certain administration members:
“It’s none of the student’s business what the administration does to market the university.”
“Students are not stakeholders, thus they have no say in the logo and should have to accept it.”

One problem though, students who graduate become alumni. And UW gets donations and funding from alumni. You tell the students to piss off now, when we graduate, we will remember what happened. We will be future donators and alumni (the supposedly real stakeholders that the university respects). And when they come asking for donations, I will remind them that they did not care what we thought. Besides they stole enough money from me already without permission. Thank you UW for educating me to fight back.

That’s all I got for now. Don’t punch the cow eh!

¿¿Cómo se posteaba??
Para no perder la costumbre, una vez cada tanto subo una foto, eh? ojo que ya voy 41 fotos!
Esta vez me tocó a mi ser la foto 41.

El fin de semana volví  a Chivilcoy, después de 2 meses! (por la facultad, el dia del padre, las elecciones, etcétera)
Cada vez que Pablo va para allá, los sábados son sagrados, y es el momento en donde se junta con los amigos para jugar al fútbol.
Nunca interferí en ese ritual, por llamarlo de alguna manera, y siempre que lo acompañé, supe entretenerme de alguna u otra forma.
Solía quedarme charlando con la novia de uno de los amigos, pero bue, ya no hay novia para el amigo, y ya no tengo compañia para los sábados, asique supe rebuscármelas bastante bien, ya sea sacándole fotos a ellos, filmando vacas que se paseaban glamorosamente delante mio, o como en esta oportunidad, que me llevé la Holga, la Nikon 35mm y la digital, y anduve revolcandome en el pasto seco para intentar alguna toma diferente.
Para ver cómo quedó, tendremos que esperar a que termine la película, que esperemos sea pronto.

pd: de muy chiquita, vi la película “Salvador”  de Oliver Stone, con James Woods (sobre la guerra civil salvadoreña). Woods hacia de reportero gráfico, y por un largo tiempo, soñé con ser reportera gráfica.
Tirada en el piso, cámara en mano, recordé la pelicula y ese sueño, y si bien en ese instante no tenia tiros cerca mio, ni siquiera una gallina cacareando, o unas vacas viniendo hacia mi, al menos, ese recuerdo, me supo sacar una sonrisa…
