Shorthanded Warriors drop league opener
News | January 6, 2010
Steve Yingling, Tribune sports editor
ZEPHYR COVE – The Portland Trail Blazers and the Whittell High Warriors' girls' basketball team share a lot in common this season.
Both teams are besieged by injuries but aren't using sidelined players as excuses.
Because of injuries to three regulars, the Warriors started two freshmen and had only two available reserves against Silver Stage in their Northern 2A League opener on Tuesday night and nearly gutted out the victory. But behind Mariah Gramolini's nine fourth-quarter points, the Nighthawks emerged a road winner, 49-38.
"We knew we could win, but we knew it wasn't going to be easy," said Gramolini, who finished with a career-high 26 points. "We knew we could do it if we played hard."
Whittell lost senior Lauren Andrew and sophomore Megan Mize to season-ending injuries during the volleyball season, and sophomore starting guard Nina Jimenez was confined to the bench on Tuesday with an ankle injury. Junior guard Lea Torres-Manzano recently rejoined the Warriors after recovering from a sprained ankle.
"Getting healthy is going to be the main thing. It's not going to be an easy road, but we're trying to readapt," said Whittell coach Tom Esposito. "I still think we can make a run, but first the injuries have to be healed and then the Harris sisters are going to be a (work in) progress."
The Harris sisters, Emily and Amanda, are receiving substantial playing time as freshmen.
Whittell, however, didn't let Silver Stage get any breathing room until the closing minutes. Senior Isabel Concha-Foley kept the Warriors close, scoring 26 points and pulling down 18 rebounds. Senior point guard Gabriella Tracy and Emily Harris kept Concha-Foley busy in the post by repeatedly feeding her passes on the blocks.
The last of Concha-Foley's points at the foul line pulled Whittell within 38-36 with just over four minutes to go, but then Gramolini took over, burying a shot just inside the three-point line and then one behind it for a 43-36 lead with 3:00 remaining.
Harris hit a baseline shot to bring Whittell within five points, and the Warriors' full-court pressure produced several turnovers, but they couldn't capitalize.
"We had 15 turnovers in the second half, and I think that's from fatigue … from having a short bench and not enough wind, because we were right there until the end," said Esposito, whose team committed seven turnovers in a first half that ended with Whittell in front 21-20.
Gramolini sealed the Nighthawks' victory by making her final perimeter shot and two free throws.
"I usually make half that many outside shots. Today was good," she said.
Tracy finished with six points for the Warriors, and Harris scored four.
Whittell will play host to 15-1 Lovelock on Saturday.


Thank you for contacting me about tax treaties.
A major focus of the UK's G8 Presidency was tax transparency and combatting offshore tax evasion. This is why the UK promoted the development of the Common Reporting Standard – an information standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information- to effectively tackle the global problem of tax evasion.
Discussions with Malawi officials over a new tax treaty have already taken place and my colleagues in Government are hopeful the new treaty can be concluded shortly. This is a matter for the Government of Malawi. However, they have stated that there is no evidence that the current 1955 agreement has motivated British investors to deprive the Government of Malawi of its revenues.
I agree that there is always more that can be done to tackle tax avoidance, evasion and other exploitations of the tax system. Nevertheless, I am pleased that significant progress on this issue has been made. For example, the UK Government drove forward the international work on country by country reporting, which provides more information to tax authorities, so that they can investigate larger companies' tax strategies. By making UK-based multinationals publish their tax strategies I do believe it will strongly discourage those who fail to comply with their tax duties.

My introduction to collecting tackle started with lures and quickly spread to reels. As a young boy, my father frequently took me fishing.

I used a Mitchell until I was about thirteen or fourteen, when my father decided it was time for me to take the next step– an Ambassadeur ! From then on, it would be an Ambassadeur that went on all my fishing trips.
He was very kind to me as he explained what was wrong with a I found in the field.

Maryland prohibits local jurisdictions from imposing restrictions on licensing which are stricter than state law. In addition, Missouri state law specifically supersedes any local laws that restrict the sale of alcohol. Since the Reservations are considered federal lands, state laws do not apply. Tribal law bans possession and sale of alcohol completely, even if not tribal members. Nebraska only grants local governing bodies authority to approve applications and deny licenses pursuant to state law.
North Dakota state law provides that each local jurisdiction's liquor board must allow liquor licenses, and sets the range of allowable fees.
Saturday, February 15, Classic Components: At the time I bought them, they were probably about 10 years old, but they were brand new, perfect in their faded yellow box with the Campagnolo script logo on the top and World Champion rainbow stripes. They were for sale at the most amazing garage sale a teen-aged or even middle-aged bike geek could imagine.
Besides the hubs, I had purchased a pair of impossibly light Super Champion tubular rims and built my first pair of wheels. A post-'78 pair of small flange Record hubs. Whether it was because of the extreme lightness of the rims or because of my amateur wheel-building skills probably both , the wheels seemed to need constant truing. I eventually un-laced and re-built them with the same hubs and a more robust pair of rims my wheel-building skills having improved greatly , and I still use them today, almost 30 years later.


Fourth Wave: Marriage: a political prerequisite?
Is Marriage a Political Litmus Test?
Last week, Al and Tipper Gore announced that they are getting a divorce after 40 years of marriage. It's a "mutual and mutually supportive decision," according to an email the Gores sent to friends and family. Since their announcement, the internet has been a-twitter with a fair degree of disappointment and confusion. To many, the Gores' marriage epitomized an ideal union: an equal partnership, free of scandals and palpably romantic (over the past week, blogs, newspapers and cable news shows alike have been obsessing over the validity of the Gores' steamy kiss at the 2000 Democratic National Convention).
Ultimately, it's immaterial why the Gores have decided to separate. They're clearly both responsible adults, capable of making their own choices and it's frankly none of our business. However, their announcement did get me thinking about the importance of marriage in today's political arena and, in particular, the burden of expectation placed upon the political spouse to behave a certain way in both the public and private sphere.

Posted on Thu January 17, 2019 in Fishing with your partner.
A look at why Gkhui Gkhui River Lodge is a great destination to get the hobby of partner fishing going!
Have you ever wondered what the perfect fishing destination is to take your wife along (or in some instances, to drag your husband along)? Well, Gkhui Gkhui River Lodge is definitely the place to do just that. If you want to get your partner into fly-fishing, we have rapids that provide easy fishing with nymphs. This is great for any beginner to sink their teeth into their first yellow on fly! Our expert guides will assist and make the learning curve so much easier.
Our unique catarafts offer couples the ideal platform to fish from. Even if your partner does not like fishing, these drifts are comfortable and very pleasant for the non-fisher as well. These rafts provide the perfect platform to target largemouth yellowfish from. An added bonus is that you can anchor them in the rapids and target smallmouth yellowfish from the comfort of the raft (no more wading over rocky areas).
Most of the time your partner will enjoy a drift just as much as you would. With plenty of birds and game on display, these drifts can be remarkable, even for the non-fisherman.
Let our friendly staff help you to turn fly-fishing into a great bonding experience!
Our family had the pleasure to visit Gkhui Gkhui River Lodge on several occasions and what an experience! The location is breath taking, the food exquisite and the hands-on service of the owners will ensure that I go back there time and time again! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome setting, luxury rooms with an added private outdoor shower. Great place to relax and not far to drive from Bloemfontein! Will definitely return to the friendly staff and great meals!

How History Brings Travel Destinations to Life
If you're a travel enthusiast, you probably have a bucket list of places you want to go and experiences you'd like to have. For active travellers, these probably include such things as snorkelling in the Mediterranean Sea, snowboarding at Whistler Blackcomb, or visiting a vibrant Asian city like Bangkok. These and many other action-packed trips are undoubtedly a lot of fun and highly memorable experiences, but as they say, sometimes it's good to lay back and smell the roses. In terms of travel, that could involve visiting museums, ancient ruins, or historical sites of interest, but why are such places worth considering, and what are the best places to visit?
History is what shapes modern life
We are all a product of the events and cultures that have gone before. It shapes the way countries and peoples behave right now and directs the progress of civilisation, and for that reason alone, history is a fascinating topic. It also teaches you a great deal about why countries have developed the way they have, and what has influenced their culture. If you think history is dull, prepare yourself for a surprise because some of the most interesting and stimulating tourist attractions revolve around historical buildings, records and artefacts.
The ruins of Greece and Roman Italy are famed worldwide, but there are many other extraordinary ancient buildings and historic sites all across the world. For example, there's the seventh-century ruins at Leptis Magna on the Libyan coast, the Doi, Yokoji and Oka castle ruins in Japan, and the ancient ruins of Quilmes in Patagonia to name but a few. These are all relics from far back in history, and visiting them will give you a sense of awe at the achievements of the people who built them. Many ruins are located in remote places that present quite a physical challenge to reach. Just think about the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru, perched on the top of a mountain. That's an experience to get your heart racing!
One of the most striking and intimate ways to connect with history is through the creations of artists and sculptors. The great art collections of the world are a window into societies throughout bygone ages, right up to the present day. The Louvre is one of the most well-known places to see original artworks, including such timeless masterpieces as Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. If you are visiting an art gallery without being an aficionado of art history, then the best way to enjoy the experience and get the most out of it is to join a guided tour. You can book tours online in advance with companies like The Paris Guy, who specialise in bringing these subjects to life; learn more about this now.
Prehistoric history
Who doesn't love the dinosaurs? If the success of franchises like Jurassic Park is anything to go by, the answer is no-one! The work of palaeontologists and other archaeological experts has brought these creatures from millions of years ago right to the forefront of modern culture. Seeing the remains of such fantastical creatures can't fail to interest and impress you, and if you have kids, they will be bursting with excitement at the thought of doing anything dino-related. As well as the famed dinosaurs, there are all sorts of other extinct creatures and plants that have left behind fossilised remains for us to wonder over. Having seen fossils for real and found out more about them, it can inspire you to hunt for your own, which is an adventure in itself.
If you want to get involved in finding ancient relics and historic settlements, you don't have to be a professional archaeologist to get involved. You can book holidays at archaeological digs where you will assist the professionals and learn about any objects that are discovered. It's very much like a treasure hunt, except its normally interesting artefacts rather than buried hordes of gold and jewels – although you never know! These kinds of working holidays are usually very reasonably priced as you are helping with the dig, so this is a perfect activity if you're a cash-starved student for example.
Re-enactments
There are historical re-enactment groups in many locations who regularly bring the experience of such events as the American War of Independence, The English Civil War, and the grim experience of the First World War trenches to life. The people involved are passionate about their subjects, and make every effort to ensure the details are factually accurate. Being in close proximity to the noise of a battle being played out just as it would have been at the time can transport you into the period like nothing else. You might even feel inspired to join in, and experience the cut and thrust of battle yourself. It's not just re-enactments of wars that can take you back in time, either. For instance, you could help crew a Viking ship, or compete as a knight in a medieval jousting competition.
The inevitable fact about the present is that as soon as it's over, it's history. That means the back catalogue of historical attractions is continually expanding, and even now, you may be amazed to look back and realise that the toys, TV shows and appliances of your youth are being preserved for posterity. Time inexorably marches onward, and all our days are the history of tomorrow. When you consider what historical places or exhibitions might interest you, don't forget modern history, and the years you have lived through yourself. Galleries such as the Tate Modern may be full of twentieth and twenty-first-century artworks, but they are just as valid a part of history as 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex bones.
Until you see history up close and personal, it won't have the impact to take your breath away. You need to see the size of ancient ruins, look at the craftsmanship in detail, and experience the feeling of being in close proximity to these ghosts from the past to truly appreciate their magnificence.

Q: Setting EF interceptor file name layout In EF 6.1 (onwards) I can configure my app.config file like the following :
<interceptors>
  <interceptor type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.Interception.DatabaseLogger, EntityFramework">
    <parameters>
      <parameter value="C:\Stuff\LogOutput.txt"/>
      <parameter value="true" type="System.Boolean"/>
    </parameters>
  </interceptor>
</interceptors>

Above resides in the EntityFramework section of my app.config.
How would I be able to set the layout of the filename to reflect the date of the operation similar to popular loggers like NLog so I get new log per day?
<target name="logfile" xsi:type="File" fileName="C:\logs\folder\log_${shortdate}.txt" layout="${longdate} ${level:uppercase=true:padding=-5} [${threadid:padding=3}] ${logger:padding=-55} - ${message}" />

Is such facility available without the need for some coding and recompilation?

A: According to the source code for EF6, that is not possible with the simple logger. You will need to implement your own interceptor to do this.
// Code from EF6 source:
public DatabaseLogger(string path, bool append)
{
    Check.NotEmpty(path, "path");
    _writer = new StreamWriter(path, append) { AutoFlush = true };
}

High five for FORS
Home Blog High five for FORS
A leading hirer of secure storage containers and portable site accommodation has successfully achieved a gold level transport award for the fifth consecutive year.
Following an assessment at its London branch, Mobile Mini was awarded the accreditation for its growing fleet of HGV delivery vehicles, in the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), an initiative operated by Transport for London.
The voluntary accreditation scheme, which aims to drive up standards among commercial vehicle operators throughout the UK, requires fleet operators to demonstrate meaningful improvements in safety, environmental impact and efficiency in order to be awarded the gold level.
With a fleet of 50 mounted loader crane vehicles, one of the largest of its kind in the UK, Mobile Mini has become the first in its industry to achieve the FORS Gold Award for five years, proving that the company is leading the way in its ongoing commitment to safety and effective vehicle management.
Kevin Buckler, national transport manager for Mobile Mini, commented: "We're extremely proud as a company to have achieved gold level for another year. As a contractual condition for many clients when delivering to their sites, the FORS standard has been catalyst to our advances in vehicle technology and focus on people and processes."
He added: "Being the first in our industry to achieve such long-running success means it's important to us to maintain the standard. As such, we are constantly reviewing our vehicles, driver behaviour and processes to improve safety, and improve fuel efficiency, as well as reduce road-related incidents."

Eric Bergkraut"Letter to Anna" is Bergkraut's second film on Chechnya. "Coca: The Dove from Chechnya" won an award at the Berlin Film Festival.
Swiss director Eric Bergkraut doesn't expect his latest film, "Letter to Anna," to go down well in Russia, or even to make it into theaters. But in an interview after the premiere of the feature-length version at the Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto, he said he didn't want his film to be perceived as "anti-Russian."
"One can be very critical of Mr. Putin's politics without being anti-Russian at all," Bergkraut emphasized. "I am not sure if that is understood in Moscow today."
"Letter to Anna" is a documentary describing the life and death of the independent-minded Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was often treated with suspicion by the Russian authorities, and indeed by no small number of ordinary Russians.
Politkovskaya was best known for her critical writing on the wars in Chechnya, which appeared in the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and in her books, "A Dirty War," and "A Small Corner of Hell."
She was shot to death in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building on October 7, 2006.
Bergkraut first met Politkovskaya in 2003, while he was working on his documentary, "Coca: The Dove From Chechnya," a film about a Chechen woman who had filmed human rights abuses in the republic.
Bergkraut asked Politkovskaya to appear in the film, and she agreed.
"My first impression of Anna was that she was very busy, very focused on her work, and that she was afraid of wasting her time. But once we started talking, we had very long talks, much longer than we had intended," Bergkraut said.
"What I liked was that she was always on the side of the weak person. I never had the feeling that it was about good Chechens and bad Russians. She was not naive at all. She just found the way the Russian government was dealing with the conflict not very intelligent."
Bergkraut assembled "Letter to Anna" from footage of Politkovskaya left over from "Coca," as well as footage which he shot in Russia after her death.
The film includes interviews with Politkovskaya's son Ilya, her daughter Vera, her ex-husband, Alexander Politkovsky, and makes clear that Politkovskaya's family feared for her life.
"Her family wanted to stop her. The only person who did not want to stop her was her daughter, Vera, who had a deep understanding for what her mother did. All the others -- and it's very understandable -- tried to stop her, but it was not possible."
The idea of living in exile was impossible for her, he said. "She did not want to leave the country. That would have been in total contradiction to who she was and how she lived."
Expatriate Russian billionaire and Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky is among the Kremlin opponents Bergkraut interviews in the film, which is one reason he expects to have difficulties getting it screened in Russia.
"The film could do without Berezovsky, but why should it? Why is it impossible for Russians to see Berezovsky?" Bergkraut asked.
"He is a kind of Mephisto in the film. He is not the good guy. He has to be in the film because, [Russian Prosecutor General] Yury Chaika said at a press conference that [Politkovskaya's] murder could only have come from abroad, from oligarchs. It is quite clear that he was pointing at Berezovsky," he said.
Another possible obstacle to the film's presentation in Russia might be Politkovskaya's characterization of the war in Chechnya as "genocidal."
"She gives a very good argument," says Bergkraut. "Do you know how many people have been killed in Chechnya? We do not know the figures. Maybe only 80,000. Maybe 150,000. Maybe 300,000. It's really a tragedy. Chechens are a very small community," he said.
"But every single Russian soldier and his family is a tragedy too, for me. It's not necessarily that I share [her] judgment, but I wanted to show it," he added.
"Letter to Anna" also includes appearances by Garry Kasparov, Novaya Gazeta editor Dmitry Muratov, and other colleagues and acquaintances of Politkovskaya.
Bergkraut regrets that he was not able to represent "official Russia" more thoroughly in his film.
"I tried very hard to get an interview with Yury Chaika, but it was not possible. I am trying hard to understand [his position]. I would have loved to have more official Russian voices," he said.
Bergkraut also laments that no one from "official Russia" has attended any of his international screenings.
"At all the screenings of my film, I was expecting that some day someone from the Russian embassy would come, and we would have a discussion. Nobody ever came. It's a pity. My last film has been shown in about 30 countries, but not in Russia. Isn't that strange?"
After winning the International Human Rights Film Award for "Coca" in Berlin last year, Bergkraut was approached by several film stars who expressed interest in collaborating with him. As a result, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve, and Iris Berben provided the narrations for "Letter to Anna" in its English, French, and German versions, respectively.
Bergkraut's film was also honored by Vaclav Havel when it screened at the One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival in Prague earlier this year.
"Festivals and television stations are now approaching me because they want to show "Letter to Anna," but no one has come to me from Russia," Bergkraut said.
"A discussion [about Politkovskaya] -- which may be controversial -- would be interesting and somehow natural. The best thing would be if a Russian television channel bought "Letter to Anna. Maybe one day. Things can change."

HARRINGTON -Tina Herzog, 27 of the 200 block of Weiner Ave., was arrested by the Harrington Police Department June 14 for offensive touching and related charges.
While on patrol June 11, officers responded to a residence on Weiner Ave. for a report of a possible burglary in progress. When police arrived, they contacted the victim who reported to police that Herzog was at the victim's residence and she refused the leave.
Police learned that the victim and Herzog became involved in an altercation during which Herzog assaulted the victim and damaged property belonging to the victim. She then fled prior arrival of the police. Police obtained warrants for her but were unable to locate her.
The Dover Police Department took Herzog into custody June 14 and notified the Harrington Police Department. Harrington Police charged Herzog with offensive touching and criminal mischief. She also faced additional charges, according to officers. Herzog was processed and arraigned by the Dover Police Department. No bond information was available.


The first time I interviewed Charlotte Roach, I was in my bed, a hot water bottle burning my stomach, exhausted, wanting nothing more than to turn off the phone and the keyboard and close my eyes, my brain, close it all.
It was late and I was tired. I wanted to interview her for a story I was doing for The Independent looking at athletes at Oxbridge. Someone had told me about Roach. Someone told me she was amazing.
"One hour," I agreed, annoyed. Tired.
After that second call, I fell in love a bit. Sometimes, when interviewees fascinate me, when their stories wrap around my mind with words and sounds, I fall in love with them, the idea of them, the ideas of their worlds.
"That's fine." I didn't know it then, but that was the easy sort of genuine warmth which marked Roach's character. She didn't expect it of me. But when I came, asking, wanting something of her, she agreed.
The editor liked the story. It went up on the Guardian.
I have always considered a book. From the time I was six, seven, from the time I could push sentences across paper and sit in my closet writing stories about my cat, I considered a book.
And now, months later, months and months later, it's gone live. Here it is. The Roach book. Charlotte's story. I feel grateful, terrified, humbled, but most of all blessed by this chance and the opportunity, and by all the amazing people who rallied around me to help make this possible.
All my royalties are going to the air ambulance that saved Charlotte's life.

Corruption and injustice
ANAND TELTUMBDE
'Those who reproach injustice do so because they are afraid not of doing it but of suffering it.'
– Plato, Republic, I.344c.
'Corruption is a mere symptom: the disease is unbridled greed.'
– Kobad Ghandy, Maoist leader, currently in Tihar jail
CURIOUSLY, corruption that was long taken as a way of life in India has suddenly become a big issue. Thanks in part to the electronic media, which is spiritedly exposing a scam-a-day kind of series of scandals, corruption has been hogging the limelight, evoking tremendous indignation among the middle classes who think it is the biggest obstacle in their imagining India as world superpower. Hardly surprising that they massively support the agitation launched under the leadership of Anna Hazare to institute an effective mechanism to arrest high level corruption. Although this agitation effectively distracted attention from the core issues of corruption to mechanisms to deal with it, the issue is still alive. The entire discourse of corruption, however, appears to be driven by a neo-liberal perspective of development and efficiency. An alternative perspective, that corruption essentially entails injustice to a majority of people, remains marginal, both in the intellectual discourse as well as in anti-corruption actions.
This paper focuses on the subaltern perspective that corruption essentially entails injustice,a feature usually absent in the development and efficiency arguments against corruption. Next, the incidence of injustice is explored through the process of 'so called' development to demonstrate the vacuity of arguments based on the development and efficiency perspective. Finally, two empirical cases representing perhaps two ends of a spectrum are presented to illustrate the argument developed in the paper.
Most definitions of corruption highlight 'misuse of public power for private profit',1 'act of bribery' involving a public servant and a transfer of tangible resources,2 'betrayal of public trust', and 'violation of established rules for personal gain.'3
The Oxford English Dictionary categorizes various meanings of corruption as follows: (i) physical: the destruction or spoiling of anything, especially by disintegration or by decomposition with its attendant unwholesomeness and loathsomeness, (ii) moral: moral deterioration or decay; perversion or destruction of integrity in the discharge of public duties by bribery or favour, (iii) the perversion of anything from an original state of purity.4 The definition of corruption as 'abuse' (or misuse) of 'public power' (public office, public role, or public duties and resources) for 'private gain' (personal gain, private profit, or private benefit) is most frequently used.
These definitions assume that corruption is a phenomenon in the 'public' sphere or at the intersection of 'public' and 'private' spaces. They consider corruption as a symptom that undermines the fairness and legitimacy of the state, which in turn impairs its capacity for development. But these are myopic views relying either on the state as a genuine agent of development or on the moral anchoring of the private sector. Neither is necessarily true. Though abuse of private power is a prime mover of corruption, it is inexplicably excluded from the corruption discourse. Surely, we are not unaware of the many instances of corruption in the university, the corporation, the labour union, the media, the banks, and the church – all parts of the private sector.5
Nevertheless, in a corrupt transaction between a public official and a client, it is only the public official who is regarded as corrupt, while the client who uses private resources to bribe him is not regarded as such. As a matter of fact, the private sector represents 'private gain' in all definitions of corruption. The private sector is not confined to its corrupting role but could as well be corrupted. However, corruption in the private sector has rarely been studied by social scientists.6 Although ordinary people as well as mass media commonly use words like 'corporate corruption', scholars usually use terms like 'business ethics', thus avoiding the word 'corruption' vis-à-vis the private sector.
These definitions mostly revolve around the function and dysfunction of corruption, implicitly concerned with efficiency and/or economic development. The moralistic arguments highlight the dysfunctionality of corruption7 and infer that corruption is bad. Others focus on the functionality of corruption,8 indicating that corruption can even be good or morally neutral. This moralists and functionalists, however, only reflects their pragmatic considerations regarding development. While much of the expert commentary talks of corruption as obstructing the prospects of development and thus anti-people, what people perceive is exactly the opposite. For them, development is the real fountainhead of corruption and is in turn the source of injustice. The bane of the prevalent corruption discourse is that there is not the slightest allusion to corruption being as such.
Corruption as an abuse of power is a breach of 'formal justice' and a violation of 'obligations of fairness' by individuals for their private gain within the framework of social justice as developed by John Rawls.9 This framework basically deals with the problem of distributive justice by utilizing a variant of the familiar device of the social contract. The resultant theory is known as 'Justice as Fairness', from which Rawls derives his two famous principles of justice – the liberty principle: each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with a similar liberty for others10 and the difference principle: social and economic inequalities are to be arranged such that (a) they are to be of the greatest benefit to the least-advantaged members of society and (b) offices and positions must be open to everyone under conditions of fair equality of opportunity.11 Further, Rawls differentiates between two types of justice: substantive justice that refers to the rules of an institution, and formal justice that refers to the actions of the individuals who implement those rules. Although Rawls foregrounds substantive justice, corruption is equally about formal justice that limits discretion and arbitrary decision-making to ensure equality before the law. If an institution is reasonably just, then it is of great importance that the authorities should be impartial and not be influenced by personal, monetary, or other irrelevant considerations in their handling of particular cases.
Although corruption is concerned with formal justice, insofar as it is actualized through the governing ethos of society, the influence of its historical institutions that shaped the ethos cannot be ignored. Nowhere is this better seen than in India where institutions characterized by caste, sans any pretention to substantive justice, continue to have an abiding influence on the behaviour of people, despite their formal replacement by formally egalitarian constitutional institutions. It is this behaviour that has primarily subverted the principle of substantive justice underlying the Indian Constitution.
Scholars have discerned at least three conditions which are necessary for corruption to arise and persist – (i) discretionary power: the relevant public official must possess the authority to design or administer regulations and policies in a discretionary manner; (ii) economic rent: the discretionary power must allow extraction of (existing) rents or creations of rents that can be extracted; and (iii) weak institutions: the incentive embodied in political, administrative and legal institutions must be such that officials are left with an incentive to exploit their discretionary power to extract or create rents.12 The fact that despite a reasonably elaborate formal institutional structure, India outranks many countries in corruption can only be explained by an abiding ethos of rent seeking deeply entrenched in its socio-cultural institutions.13 Even as this ethos was weakening through constant contention with formal institutions, the advent of neo-liberalism with its social Darwinist proclivities gave it a boost, creating the widespread phenomenon of corruption that we face today.
Unlike the moralistic view of corruption as evil, a neo-liberal perspective views corruption as the 'grease' that makes the wheels of the economic growth machine turn more smoothly. It attributes efficiency to corruption in facilitating 'beneficial trade between agents that would otherwise have not been possible' and promoting 'allocative efficiency by allowing agents in the private sector to correct pre-existing government failures.'14
The economic growth mania that has gripped the global elites during the past few decades has been directly responsible for producing a galloping growth in corruption. This era, rightly characterized as 'accumulation by dispossession'15 or 'predatory capitalism'16 or 'neo-colonialism',17 cumulatively reveals the basic motives of the governing elites in whatever they do. The development projects, though undertaken in the name of the people, are more the means of elite accumulation and for serving the needs of their opulent lifestyles. It is as if the development projects are designed only to facilitate corruption and entrench an unjust system.
How corruption and injustice are inseparable may best be grasped through empirical cases. We will consider two cases: one representing the daily lives of dalits in rural areas, suffering all-pervasive petty corruption and second, a macro instance of corruption which, though not directly related to any segment of the people, indirectly results in monumental injustice to them.
A family of four, father (50), mother (45), son (18) and a daughter (21), belonging to a Mang (dalit) caste in a village in Beed district of Maharashtra, lived as bonded labour in a hut built on the farm of a landlord belonging to the Vanzara caste (a backward farming caste). A son of the landlord approached the girl for sexual favours but she did not respond. One day, he along with his friends, beat up the labourer's son for having stolen something. When the family comes to his rescue, everybody is beaten up. Even the girl is beaten up and sexually molested. The family approaches the police, but instead of recording their complaint, detain the girl and her brother based on the complaint by the landlord's son. Obviously the police were heavily bribed. The parents beg for the release of their children. The police demand Rs 20000 as a bribe. The family manages Rs 16000 by borrowing from relatives and others and pays the police. They release the boy and girl.
The family then goes to a dalit politician in Beed and narrates their plight. He takes them to the police station and a case is registered under the IPC, but not under the Atrocity Act. Enraged by the temerity of his Mang 'slaves', the landlord's son comes in an inebriated state with his goons to the farm. They attack the father and son with swords, badly beat up the mother, and drag the girl to an isolated spot and rape her. Some village people come to their rescue and they are taken to the police station. The police simply note the case in the police diary and they are taken to the government hospital in Beed, a half hour drive away.
For the next half an hour they lie bleeding on the floor in hospital verandah without anyone attending to them. The police complaint and other procedures are cited as an alibi for not attending to them. Only after bribing the hospital staff are they taken in for treatment. While the boy survives, the father dies. The girl is also examined and treated. With the help of the same politician, a police case is registered and the five named people, including the son of the landlord, are arrested. After a few days, they are released on bail, allegedly after paying a heavy bribe, shared by the police, public prosecutor and even the judge. The social worker also demands Rs 5000 for miscellaneous expense. Although completely broke, the mother, who now lives on the outskirts of Beed, is resolutely pursuing the case in the court. She was offered a hefty sum to withdraw the case, but has refused.
This case verily illustrates the pervasive corruption in the society which is homomorphous with the injustice common people suffer. To the extent that it represents structural injustice, it brings into question the lack of substantive justice, but additionally points to the concurrent violation of formal justice as a result of systemic corruption. Though India had legislated the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act in 1976, but even today, the practice of bonded labour is rampant, not only in rural areas but also in our cities.
A large number of children continue to be employed as bonded labourers by the non-farming sectors like small-scale textiles, firecrackers, leather goods manufacturing, brick kilns, granite extraction units, restaurants, eateries, organized begging and even in the sex trade everywhere. Is the 'law' of any value to this family? The Bonded Labour Act, the Scheduled Caste Atrocity Act, the Minimum Wages Act and the many other laws that were violated on an ongoing basis, failed to afford any protection to the family. Nor was the Indian Penal Code of any use to them. In fact, the law in pursuit of justice at times ends up doing more harm than good. The victim is repeatedly abused by power and authority, not because of the monetary bribes (which they paid in any case), but by the systemic injustice of caste and socio-economic status. Obviously, for countless dalit families like this one, the fight for justice cannot be seen within the prism of an anti-corruption law.
Thanks to widespread corruption within the law enforcement agencies, this system like many of its ilk, remains unscathed. The root of the devastating injustice suffered by the family lies in this pervasive corruption. The major reason for the persistent growth in caste atrocities despite a plethora of protective laws for dalits, reflects the corruption of the state machinery. Every major case of atrocity illustrates how a system imbued with bribes enables upper caste elements to commit heinous crimes against dalits.
Take the cases of mega corruption such as the 2G or CWG (Commonwealth Games) scams, which are currently under investigation under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court. Looking at the nature of these cases, it does appear that every other major programme in the country too may have had some degree of corruption; just that it did not get exposed. It does not need to be a big project or programme; every decision that involves a discretionary space entails corruption. One is awed by the size of these scams, but it is a common belief that many politicians, multiply personal wealth at a rate that would shame even the best investment banker in the world and that many bureaucrats with modest salary amass wealth that might last several generations.
There is no questioning of this pervasive corruption. India, despite its spectacular growth since the adoption of economic reforms, presents a terrible picture with regard to human development. All the money that is siphoned off through corruption is many times over what would be required to save our millions of children dying every year of malnutrition, from hunger and stuntedness and all other shameful instances. However, even if corruption were to be controlled and this money made available, would it ever be used to save the children who continue to die of malnutrition and hunger?
The manner in which the spoils of economic growth have been cornered by the dominant castes and communities makes it clear that the anti-corruption battle is of little meaning to the marginalized and dispossessed, unless it is shaped, led, and given direction by them. It is only then that it will be accompanied by formulations that require the distribution of resources in a more equitable fashion. In fact, even the anti-corruption laws that deal with monetary corruption will touch upon systemic corruption only if they are shaped by the people who have been at the receiving end of an unjust system.
Just consider the constitutional obligation of providing universal and compulsory education to all children up to the age of 14 as originally mandated by the Constitution. The anti-reservation activists have often said that reservations should be abolished, and all disadvantaged communities be given proper, free, and universal education. However, this has just been lip service. Hiding behind an excuse of non-availability of resources, the government has faltered on this commitment for six decades. It took the Unnikrishnan judgement of the Supreme Court that termed the right to education as a part of the right to life, to wake the government up to its responsibility. Even thereafter, it enacted an amendment to the Constitution excluding the children up to the age of six from the purview of the right to education and later passed the Right to Education Act.
In fact, there is only one way to ensure equality of opportunity through the education system: by implementing a common school system. Instead, while promising that it would complete the task of providing universal and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 within the next five years, the government soon began cribbing about the resource crunch, using it as a pretext to advance the model of public-private partnership (PPP). The PPP model in education is at best a euphemism for unbridled commercialization of education, which will only deprive a majority of children from quality education.
It is not a question of money. The money lost in just a single scam could have been more than enough to implement the common school system in the country. The real question is whether we have the political will to promise that every child born in the country will go through the same kind and quality of education. Would we be willing to call that inequality 'corruption'? Clearly not. In fact, the dominant discourse has defined anti-corruption in such a restrictive and selective manner that fighting corruption is excluded from being a weapon of the weak. Such is the scale of injustice, that even 'corruption' is beyond its pale.

Abstract: Background Oral rabies vaccination of wildlife has effectively reduced the incidence of rabies in wildlife and has led to the elimination of rabies in large areas of Europe. The safety of oral rabies vaccines has been assessed in both target (red fox and raccoon dog) and several non-target species. Case presentation Since 2011, the competent authority in Finland has received a few reports of dogs experiencing adverse reactions that have been assumed to be caused by the consumption of baits containing oral rabies vaccine. The dogs usually exhibited gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, inappetence, constipation or diarrhoea) or behavioral symptoms (restlessness, listlessness and unwillingness to continue hunting). Conclusions Nevertheless, these adverse reactions are transient and non-life threatening. Even though the adverse reactions are unpleasant to individual dogs and their owners, the benefits of oral rabies vaccination clearly outweigh the risks.

Draft False or Misleading Information Regulations 2015
On Wednesday 18 March 2015 the Tenth Delegated Legislation Committee, of which Valerie sat as a member, scrutinised the Draft False or Misleading Information (Specified Care Providers and Specified Information) Regulations 2015.
"I would like to clarify something that may be in the original Act or in subsequent regulations. Is there a definition of false or misleading in material respect, and are there any defences that providers could have for not providing the information?"
The Minister responded:
"I hope I covered that in the material that was provided to the Committee. There is a general understanding in legal parlance of what "false or misleading information" should mean. As I outlined, whether someone has connived knowingly or actively or has neglectfully decided to withhold information or to present information, as contained in the regulations, that is misleading or false in some way is a matter that will have to be determined, as this is a criminal offence. There is a defence if someone has performed due diligence and taken all steps to perform their duties in a diligent manner. Again, that is a matter to be determined if a prosecution is brought."
"It is important to point out that, as with the primary legislation, the regulations are not about going after individual clinicians or front-line staff; they deal with corporate entities—a hospital or a hospital provider—and, if appropriate and if the offence is proved at a corporate level, with those people at senior board level and other senior officials working in such organisations who have acted to mislead the public. We know how important it is to recognise and be transparent and open about situations when care falls to a substandard level, so that improvements can be made."
"There is clearly an active mind at work in making a decision to withhold information or to be actively misleading, so there is that proactive approach. There is also woeful negligence. There are situations in which a reasonable person would have acted in a particular way but an organisation was negligent in the corporate duty that it would normally have to report information to patients. The regulations define the information that has to be reported, which makes clear to organisations what they need to report. Much of what is contained in the regulations does not necessarily put a new emphasis on reporting; rather, it makes the importance of factual and accurate reporting clear. The measures build on the good reporting that goes on in many hospitals every day."
