Fw: Stop ACTA in Europe
by Dimple Patel 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

***** Apologies for cross-postings ***** We've been hearing a lot lately about SOPA and PIPA in the United States. In the meantime, ACTA has been creeping along under the radar. In 2010, you joined thousands of others in signing our firm statement against ACTA. Despite loud opposition around the world, the treaty continues to move forward. Today it was signed in Japan by the EU and its member states. But it's not over yet. ACTA can still be rejected by the European Parliament. And rejection is a real possibility. Hats off to the thousands of people who already gathered in Warsaw this morning to protest! http://www.studentsforfreeculture.eu/blog/2012/01/nie-dla-acta/ ORG has more background and advice on what to do next -- if you're in Europe, please read: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2011/acta:-signed,-not-yet-sealed-now-i… and contact your country's MEPs. The ones who are members of the Development Committee are especially important (you can see their contact information at https://memopol.lqdn.fr/europe/parliament/committee/DEVE/#) If you're not in Europe, please help spread the word to people who are. Defeating it in Europe is the first step to ending it once and for all. For a refresher on why ACTA threatens free software, see http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/acta.

Request to stop discussion on NET
by sethu swaminathan 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Dear Friends, I too agree with Mr.Nikil. As a professional, we try to help each other. It is common that the person who passed the NET exam, will support for NET and candidate who failed NET, will against for NET exam. I cleared the NET exam in the year 1994. My personal suggestion to NET aspirants that 3Ps are behind success of any competitive examination i.e Preparation, Practice and Presentation. Let try and get success. As a policy decision of the Government, let we stop this discussion , and motivate/help our friends to clear NET exam. Wish you all best! with regards S.Swaminathan Librarian SRKVCOE(Autonomous) Coimbatore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear friends, Can anybody guess how much income UGC made from conducting NET/JRF examination from 1986 to 2011 ? Here is some information obtained by RTI Act. My query to UGC's Office : Total amount collected for UGC- NET/JRF examination from 2005 to 2010. Reply- Rs. 61,18,23,638.51 Total expenditure for UGC- NET/JRF examination from 2005 to 2010. Reply- Rs. 27,93.09,983.00 What it means ? For the six years UGC made a profit of Rs. 33,25,13,655.51 from the examination. Then estimate the amount made by UGC from the unemployed youth of India during the last 25 years. The profit may come to a minimum of 100 crores !!! You may prepare well, write well but fails for increasing their profit. UGC have to answer, what they have done with the money ??? AND Who gave them permission for this public robbery ??? See, the Annexure- 1 and Annexure-2 which contain the data is unauthenticated !!! They forgot to sign ?? How can they sign ?? Sunny Joseph, Librarian Govt.
