Master-planned community in the works
A 158-acre tract in Southeast Austin could yield about 670 homes in a master-planned development expected to break ground later this year. Intermandeco Ltd. of Dallas is plotting The Vistas of Austin on the south side of Old Lockhart Road, just west of Capital View Drive, on land that falls in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The city and Travis County have approved Intermandeco's preliminary plan. The next step is submission of a site plan and plat for the project's first phase, which could break ground sometime midyear, officials say.
Project leader Doyle Wilson says the company has not selected builders for The Vistas, but he estimates homes will be priced in the range of $150,000 to $250,000. The community will include an amenity center with a pool and will have access to Rinard Creek, a tributary of Onion Creek that runs along the rear of the property. More>>

The organization proposed two resolutions to the Chairman of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and promoted its upcoming Indigenous Heritage Festival to attendees. 2004-05-29 US Military Headed for Disaster in Iraq, "Bodhisattva" WarnsUS forces will be surrounded in Iraq, 100 soldiers blinded by friendly fire and the Fleet lost at sea, according to a claimed "precognitive history of the US-led war on Iraq". "Nine, the Bodhisattva" is the outcome of an experiment in "military remote viewing", a technique employed in intelligence gathering operations. Written as a screenplay, the story shares eerie parallels with events in the Iraq war so far, and may be a warning of worse yet to come. 2004-05-29

Does school/college education pattern needs revamping?
In the same year there broke a war between India and Pakistan. At that time there was acute shortage of foodgrains in the country. America, providing wheat under PL 480, stopped the supply of wheat midway in the sea, carried by four ships. The situation became even more grim. The traders left no efforts to fish in troubled waters. At the same time less production of crops resulted into less supply of foodgrains and great demand of food commodities. As a result prices of essential items skyrocketed. Traders indulged in hoarding and blackmarketing.
In order to overcome this situation, the Union government started fair price shops for the common populace. The Public Distribution System (PDS) saved lives of millions of countrymen.
Meanwhile, there came the Green Revolution. More>>
