The exchange continues and neither fighter is able to get the upper hand by the time the bell rings.
In his corner, Volg tells Ramuda that out boxing is not an option, as Ippo will close the distance. They conclude the best course of action is to beat him in an in fight to demoralize him.
Meanwhile, Ippo tells Kamogawa that even though he felt like he was with a caged animal in the ring, going forward is the best option for him.
The second round begins and the fighters engage each other, with Volg dominating with hooks and uppercuts. He notes to himself that he does not want to use the white fang, but he realizes that normal combinations are not enough as Ippo advances. Not wanting to end Ippo's career with the white fang, Volg hopes he can take him down with only regular punches, but Ippo dodges and connects his gazelle punch, sending Volg to the floor as Ramuda notes how Volg's softness is the reason it happened.

Where is all the $ going? (AAUP op-ed)
Less Money for Academics, More Money for Athletics and Administration
Even though universities try to make the world a better place through research and education, money still makes the world go 'round. When you follow the money trail at UC, it's shocking to find that, even though enrollment has boomed and more money is flowing into UC's coffers, there is less to go around to fund UC's mission of educating its students.
UC's revenues come from a variety of sources: state funds, federal grants, donations, and, of course, tuition. Tuition and fees now makes up over 43% of UC's total annual revenue (as of Fiscal Year 2014-2015). Where is all the money going? The UC Chapter of the American Association of University Professors ("UC Chapter AAUP"), which represents full-time faculty and some part-time faculty, has been examining this question for the past several years. Although UC's budget has grown, the money UC spends on academics has actually decreased, when adjusted for inflation.
Student enrollment (full-time equivalents, or "FTEs") jumped from 29,593 in Fall 2008 to 34,377 in Fall 2014, a 16% increase. With an increase of over 4,700 student FTEs at UC in only seven years, and with significantly more tuition dollars flowing into UC, one would think that most of this money would be going to pay for the things that are most important to students' education: high quality instruction and academic programs. But that's not what happened.
The majority of the money that UC spends on Instruction, which includes the cost of hiring and supporting the faculty, comes from its "unrestricted funds." Unrestricted funds are monies that don't carry limitations from outside entities as to how they are spent. From Fiscal Year 2008-09 ("FY2009") to Fiscal Year 2014-15 ("FY2015") (the most recent date for which data is available), UC's unrestricted funds grew from $855.4 million in FY2009 to $992.8 million in FY2015 in inflation-adjusted dollars, a 16% increase driven in significant part by a 39% increase in revenues from tuition. Even though student enrollment skyrocketed over this time period, UC actually spent 6.3% less on Instruction from unrestricted funds, in inflation-adjusted dollars, in FY15 than it did in FY09.
Meanwhile, spending on Academic Support (including academic administration such as Dean's offices) increased by 25% and spending on Institutional Support (administrative units such as Administration & Finance and the President's Office) grew by 34%. Over this same time period, the Administration more than doubled support for Athletics. Subsidies for Athletics reached $20.4 million in FY2015. That's equivalent to a full ride scholarship for over 1,800 students.
The University's disinvestment in Instruction is having significant impacts across the colleges. The number of full-time faculty represented by the AAUP dropped from 1,775 in Academic Year 2008-09 to 1,651 in Academic Year 2014-15, a 6.9% decline. Although the Administration has made some recent efforts to increase full-time faculty hires, these hires have not made up for the loss. The full-time faculty to student FTE ratio has increased from 16 to 1 in Fall 2008 to nearly 21 to 1. Although UC's adjunct faculty are excellent and serve important purposes, full-time faculty are consistent presences on campus, not only teaching but mentoring and advising students. Having fewer full-time faculty available to students endangers UC's academic mission and the student experience.
In its 2015-16 budget, the Administration projected a $19.4 million increase in spending on Instruction. Roughly speaking, that would bring spending on Instruction close to what it would be in raw dollars if it had kept up with inflation since 2008. However, this increase still does not match student enrollment growth. The results of the audit for FY16 will show whether the Administration followed through with its budget plan. The need is clear. In Academic Year 2008-09, UC spent $8,765 per student FTE on Instruction (from unrestricted funds). As of Academic Year 2014-15, UC spent $7,067 per student FTE. This is a 19% drop. UC has to focus on its main mission–providing an excellent education for its growing student population.

Beautiful country. Wonderful people. And full of horrible monsters that want to kill you: such as this giant snake that fought and killed and ate a crocodile.

It's like Skull Island with really nice restaurants.

Just about all the snakes there are descended from highly venomous sea snakes that came ashore a few million years back. Almost all of them are still poisonous as hell. But I don't know why a lot of the spiders are also kind of deadly. I guess it's just a good place for it.

"My passion for becoming an arborist began with an interest and appreciation of the outdoors and nature. I grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland and began my career at the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh. I spent more time outdoors than indoors, and wanted a career that would allow me to continue that passion. Nobody else was studying plant science, which also appealed to my individualism."
Customer Service Philosophy:
"Treat my clients how I would like to be treated."
"Efficient, high quality, professional competence -- all at a competitive sum. At first [Alison] Pottage won me over by her solid knowledge as an arborist, then the crew did their job to her specifications on our 60 to 70 foot oaks within a remarkable period of time -- and left the grounds quite clean."

Any man 18 years and older may be a member of Knight of Columbus, Council 1728 is a Catholic men's organization dedicated to serving the Catholic Church, Priests, Brother Knights and their families as well as the larger local community.
Contact: Jim Bogner, 308-380-3603
Mission and History: The Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA) was founded in Utica, New York in 1903 by John E. Carberry and several other Knights of Columbus as a charitable, benevolent and patriotic sorority for Catholic ladies. Catholic Daughters Court #2007 was founded in about 1969 and includes women age 18 and over from both St. James and Prince of Peace, as well as Elm Creek, Amherst, Shelton, Gordon and Thedford. We donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.
The CDA motto is "Unity and Charity." The CDA today numbers 66,000 dues-paying members in 1,150 courts (local chapters) in 45 states across the country and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Kenya, and Peru. Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other's company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities. Deeply spiritual, together they share faith, love of God and a distinctly feminine spirituality alluded to by Pope John Paul II when he spoke of the necessity of "feminine genius" in today's world. The program includes concerns of today's church and society as well as issues that affect the well-being of women and children.
Projects of our local court include:
• Bake sales to raise money for scholarships for Catholic Seniors in high school
• Providing desserts at the Knights of Columbus fish fry to raise money for local charities and the Catholic Daughters education fund
• Serving/providing meals and drinks at the Newman Center, Habitat for Humanity, the Jubilee Center, Octoberfest and Springfest
• Helping with Bingo at Mt. Carmel and donating to their store so the residents can "buy" things for their family and themselves
• A Date Night to provide free child care so parents can have a night out alone once a month
• Visiting residents in local nursing homes
• Helping as needed with requests from the churches and community

Increasing my use of formative assessment, or assessment as learning, was pretty much the first substantial change I deliberately made and would still be one of the first things I work on with teachers.
Technologically, we've facilitated that with the OneNote binder, as shown below. We've got three spaces -- a dropbox for the students, a private & hidden marking space for teachers and then a read-only section where marked material is shared with students & parents. Using it on a pen-based tablet means I can scribble ideas to the students quickly & easily and the synchronization means that student gets it as soon as I've completed it.
So it's been really beneficial that this process fits both the student and teacher schedule -- the students can add materials any time and the teacher, by moving it into the hidden _M section, can take their time to provide useful information to the student and then move it into the _R portfolio of each student's work. This summer, when we ran an online French course, the teacher was able to continually provide rich and meaningful feedback throughout the day and students would automatically find her comments in the _R folder as soon as she moved it over. In that situation, she not only used the pen to write comments but also used audio and video to supplement her feedback to the students.
And, of course, since the OneNote binder is available to parents, they too have access to all the students' work and teacher feedback.

We haven't heard much from LG here in the US, at least not since the Android Wear announcement a few weeks ago. However, a tease over at EVLeaks suggests that the LG G2 Mini is heading to the US, with its debut set for Sprint.
The LG G2 Mini was announced back in February at Mobile World Congress. It's essentially a shrunken down, mid-range version of LG's G2 flagship, which launched late last year. There's not much information about its innards or whether it's the same variant as the one we saw at MWC. For now, we're just waiting on confirmation from the carrier.
LG itself isn't doing too badly. A recent report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech posits that LG's marketshare has gone up in the US, to 8 percent, and that it's hovering in third place for global Android marketshare. The growth in numbers could be attributed to LG's shifted focus on flagship devices, rather than pushing units of its low- to mid-range Android-power smartphones.
For now, we'll just hold tight until LG brings over its new family of devices here to the US.

PLEASE NOTE: This post is a parody, and has two purposes: (1) simply for the sake of light-hearted fun; and (2) to provoke conversation with geneticists and researchers in this field (not that it will do so anyway!). So many of the recent studies about consumer reactions and/or guidelines for DTC testing have been released without any data at all, or have been studies involving a handful of test-takers. I believe that further studies are absolutely vital, but they should be an in-depth analysis rather than the curt and superficial write-ups that have been done to date. Rather than contribute to solving issues related to DTC testing, these incomplete studies add to the confusion surrounding the field.
So, ASHG geneticists, if you can see the humor in things and are willing to accept challenges to your way of thinking, read the post below! Otherwise, click here: http://www.ashg.org.

This module stores password hashes securely.
The default password hashes in Drupal 6 (and before) are rather insecure. MD5 is easy to crack, should an attacker find a database dump or gain access to your database. This module implements secure password hashes using the phpass password hashing method - multiple rounds of hashing and salting that make reversing the hash significantly more difficult to break by brute-force attack. This is the same approach that is used for Drupal 7.
The 1.x branches are unsupported.
The 2.x branches feature simplified code and only supports the portable password hashing mechanism backported from Drupal 7 core.

Buckle up! Back by popular demand, the controversial and outspoken Vinnie Tortorich — "America's Angriest Trainer†and my favorite guy to ride a bike with — returns to the podcast as my first repeat guest so we can throw down and get to the bottom — for the very first time — of what constitues the most ideal diet. Is it "low carb†(Vinnie)? Or "plant-based†(Rich)? Maybe something in between or alternatively something else entirely?
There can only be one winner in this argument, right? Tune in to find out. And we'll let you be the judge. Whether or not you end up with some greater conviction or just more confused, only you can say. At a minimum, and wherever you come down on the debate, you will feel moved by Vinnie's frankness about his past & continuing battle with leukemia.
At one point in the interview, Vinnie makes the very controversial statement that there is no correlation between dietary fat and cardiovascular disease. Just so we are clear, I do not share this view. Give me an opportunity to dig into the research a bit more thoroughly and I will return to the blog and/or podcast with my supported findings.
NOTE: Despite my admonishments after his last tour on the show about keeping it all family friendly, Vinnie couldn't help himself and went off script with a few explicit lapses of the tongue. Nothing crazy, but just a heads up if you're blasting it at work or happen to be unusually squeamish. Apologies, but give him a break — he is, after all, America's Angriest Trainer and has a reputation to maintain.
Enjoy the podcast and want to support the show? If & when you are about to buy something on Amazon, do us a solid and first click through to the Amazon site via the banner ad to the right (on the "Podcasts†page of RichRoll.com).

Updated: July 11, 2017
1. Must Have: Genuine Instant Pot Silicone Sealing Ring
Instant Pot Sealing Rings' life expectancy varies. If steam starts to leak around the lid, you'll need to replace the Instant Pot Sealing Ring immediately.
Avoid buying sealing rings from third parties, as it is vital to Instant Pot's safety features. Direct Quote from the Instant Pot Company: "There may be serious safety concerns associated with using an untested sealing ring on Instant Pot products."
For 8 Quart Instant Pot DUO80 (US & UK): Genuine Instant Pot Silicone Sealing Ring (8Qt)
2. Genuine Sweet & Savory Silicone Sealing Ring – Two Pack
The official Sweet & Savory Silicone Sealing Ring are finally in stock (US only)!!
Since the Silicone Sealing Ring tends to absorb the food odor after cooking, many users like to use separate sealing rings for cooking savory dishes and desserts.
With 2 separate colors, you don't have to worry about mixing them up again.
3.Inner Pot with 3 Ply Bottom, 6 quart, Stainless Steel
It's very handy to have an extra Instant Pot Inner Pot. One for cooking and the other for storing leftovers with the glass or silicone lid in the fridge.
For 8 Quart Instant Pot DUO80 (US & UK): 8 Qt Stainless Steel Inner Pot
Non-stick Inner Pot, 6 quart, Stainless Steel
This ceramic non-stick inner pot is both PTFE and PFOA free. If you prefer a non-stick inner pot, this is a good option for your 6 quart Instant Pot.
5. 9″ Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid
Great for slow cooking in the Instant Pot. You can use this Instant Pot Glass Lid for "Keep Warm Mode" and storing the whole inner pot with leftovers in the fridge.
*Note: This works with the Slow Cook function on all Instant Pot models purchased after Jan. 2014.
6. Instant Pot Silicone Cover
This cover fits your 6 quart Instant Pot's Inner Pot. It's a great way to store leftovers straight in the inner pot without dirtying another container, especially if you don't have the above Instant Pot Glass Lid.
For 8 Quart Instant Pot DUO80 (US & UK): 8 Qt Silicone Cover
7. Instant Pot Silicone Mitts
These food-grade heat resistant silicone mitts are more flexible than the full-on silicone gloves. It will not provide as much protection, but it is more convenient for lighter work. You can easily slip them on and off.
Plus, it'll bring out your inner child with some puppet fun! 😉
8. Wide Rim Mesh Basket
Such a game changer!
Use this as a steamer basket or strainer – wash your vegetables, put them in the basket, and put the basket straight into Instant Pot's inner pot.
It saves time especially when you're making things like chicken stock. You can easily remove all the ingredients at once instead of scooping them out bit by bit.
No wonder this is one of the fans' favorite Instant Pot Accessories!
*Note: Remove the two handles with a plier to fit it in your Instant Pot.
9. Must Have: Stainless Steel Steaming Rack Stand 5″ Diameter
A popular budget-friendly steaming rack we couldn't live without! They're so useful that we actually have 4 of these for daily usage.
It's especially useful for our Pot-In-Pot (PIP) Recipes such as pressure cooker teriyaki chicken and rice and regular steaming on stovetop.
10. Must Have: 100% Premium Stainless Steel Steamer Basket (Must Have!)
Another great steamer basket we use frequently! Fits perfectly in the Instant Pot. The feet can keep the veggies and other food out of the liquid for optimal steaming results in your Instant Pot.
11. Silicone Steamer Basket
This is another popular steamer basket option if you prefer silicone over stainless steel. It's made of BPA free silicone, flexible, easy to clean, with nice long handles, and easy storage.
12. Steam Rack Basket Set
This is another popular Stainless Steel Steamer Rack and Basket Set that fits the 6 quart Instant Pot perfectly. The handles on the steamer basket provide ease to lift food from the pot.
Users also love how it's sturdy, quality built, works great, and easy to clean.
13. 2 Tiers 8 Inches Bamboo Steamer
The perfect companion for dim sum such as Shumai Recipe (Shrimp & Pork Dumplings) or Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings). Trust me, dim sum simply tastes better in a bamboo steamer as some of its natural bamboo fragrance will be infused while steaming. 😉
14. 7 Inch Cheesecake Pan with Removable Bottom
This is one of the most popular Instant Pot Accessories cheesecake pans in the Instant Pot community. Make sure to get the 7-inch, as the 8-inch cheesecake pan will not fit in the 6 quart Instant Pot.
15. Euro Cuisine GY50 Greek Yogurt Maker
This BPA free strainer will transfer your homemade Instant Pot yogurt into a thick, creamy Greek yogurt 🙂
16. Euro Cuisine GY60 Greek Yogurt Maker – NEW!
This is the one we use. It's a newer version of the Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt Maker that features a stainless steel strainer.
17. Instant Perrrt! Silicone Starter Kit

- Pair of Mini Mitts – Great for gripping the inner pot while sautéing or grabbing the inner pot when removing it from the main unit.
- Heat Resistant Mat / Pot Holder – Keep your counters & tables safe by sitting your inner pot on these heat resistant pot holders.
- Suction Sealing Lid – Cover the inner pot with this lid to keep the heat in your pot when it's removed from the main unit. Or you can put it over the main unit while your inner pot is removed, so you won't accidentally pour ingredients into your main unit (this happens more easily and often than you'd think! ? ).
18. Hot Dish Retriever Tongs
Great for taking hot pans and dishes out of the Instant Pot for the Pot-in-Pot (PIP) cooking method.
19. Eco Grab Heat Resistant Silicone Gloves

This team is developing new techniques and methods that help to understand the complex processes that occur under our cities and towns.
We utilise BGS databases and records to produce high-resolution 3D models. With these, we show how a better knowledge of ground conditions, artificial ground, soils, drainage and archaeology can help manage existing and future developments.
The geosciences have an important, but often underappreciated part to play in securing sustainable global cities. They can support urban innovation and city performance, reduce our environmental footprint and ensure we are resilient to natural hazards such as flooding and ground instability. This brochure provides information about our urban capability, highlighting case studies, technology and data products, to help provide solutions to city challenges.
Humans have had such an impact on the environment that scientists are debating whether we have entered a new geological time Epoch — The Anthropocene.
Many cities are developing 'future city' programmes where knowledge dissemination, cooperation, policy reform and urban design run in parallel with big data and smart technologies. We are working with those at the forefront of future cities thinking to ensure that urban geoscience research and data is embedded in this process and the value of the ground beneath cities is realised.
SuDS are drainage solutions that provide an alternative to the direct channelling of surface water through networks of pipes and sewers to nearby watercourses. What issues need to be considered? What information can BGS provide?

More than 70 NOCs were issued to private parties to buy more than 200 acres of land near high-security military installations in Srinagar
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against Defence Ministry officials and others as part of its probe into alleged irregularities in the sale of military land near the high-security Srinagar airport, reports PTI.
Immediately after registering the case, the agency carried out searches at various places in Jammu, Srinagar, Patna, Delhi and Chandigarh, official sources said.
The agency had registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) into the matter last year during which it claimed to have found evidences that no objection certificates (NOCs) were granted to private persons for this prime and strategic piece of land arbitrarily.
The CBI has named Ajay Chowdhary, a 1997-batch Defence Estates official, and others in the FIR registered under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act.
The agency had also conducted enquiry into the records of the Directorate General of Defence Estates and the local revenue, following a request from the Defence Ministry to probe the sanction of the NoC for sale of this land in Kashmir valley.
Defence Minister AK Antony had last year informed Parliament that on receipt of complaint, a preliminary enquiry was conducted during which it was found that prima-facie there have been irregularities in the issuance of NOCs which may have wider implications.
During the preliminary probe of the Defence Ministry, it was found that more than 70 NOCs were issued by the defence estates department in Srinagar during the last four years.
These NOCs were issued to private parties to buy more than 200 acres of land near high-security military installations in Srinagar.
According to the probe report of the Defence Ministry, some of the land belonging to defence remains in the name of private persons or state government in revenue records which is a cause of concern as a few persons may take advantage... and enter into fraudulent sale/purchase transaction.
The Directorate General of Defence Estates (DGDE) looks after the land for training, ranges, depots, airfields, quartering, camping and offices for military activities.
Ministry of Defence owns 17.53 lakh acres of land, out of which approximately 1.57 lakh acres is situated within the 62 notified cantonments and about 15.96 lakh acres is outside these cantonments.
Relationships are hard enough. But the rise of social media — where sharing private moments is encouraged, and provocative and confessional postings can help build a following — has created a new source of friction for couples: what is fair game for sharing with the world?

Casting aside the need for transparency and competition, the politicians and civil servants of both coal and environment ministries made hay while the sun was shining and merrily allotted around 200 coal blocks without auctions. Soon, the coal-power bubble will burst. A Coalgate and a multitude of Enrons will unfold, followed by unmanageable NPAs with the banks. After all, the people of India are always there to bear the burden of the sins of their political leaders
I came across an interesting article under the catchy heading, "10 Things We Didn't Learn From Enron Scandal". This was not about India, mind you. It was about how the US legal system dealt with the Enron culprits and how the American corporate world was yet to learn from it.
The article, authored by Susanna Kim, appeared in ABC News on 1 December 2011. The occasion was the completion of ten years since the giant energy company, Enron collapsed under the weight of fraud, deceit and over-leveraged financial dealings, robbing thousands of unsuspecting American investors of the precious savings they invested in the company. Enron's shock could be felt beyond the shores of USA.
Jeffrey Skilling, the head of Enron was proceeded against promptly, pronounced guilty on 25 May 2006, well within five years of the Enron debacle, and sentenced to more than 24 years of imprisonment which he is presently serving, despite the litigation arising from his disallowed appeals. Kenneth Lay, Enron's CEO was also found guilty along with Skilling and sentenced to imprisonment but he died one and a half months later, as a result of a massive heart attack.
Andrew Fastow, the financial wizard, who leveraged the accounts of the company beyond all reasonable limits, was sentenced to six years imprisonment on 26 September 2006. He has just been released after serving his prison term. He has even delivered an extraordinarily forthright lecture the other day to the students at his alma mater, Tufts University, on his own failings as the CFO of Enron and the deceitful ways in which Enron functioned.
Coming back to the lessons not learnt in USA, Susanna's article referred to the conflict of interest that continued to exist in the corporate world in terms of the unholy nexus among the companies, the rating agencies, the banks, the insurers and the auditors. It referred to the Ponzi schemes that the companies still floated, the regulators that continued to fail in independent regulation, the lack of transparency in the way the companies continued to function, the way they were allowed to milk the public financial institutions without putting in their own equity, the excessive financial leverage they resorted to, the unethical managers that continued to run the affairs of the companies, suppressing the voices of the small investors and the way the government continued to treat the corporate heads as holy cows and allow them to bend the law of the land at their will.
Susanna's complaint was that corporate America was slow in learning lessons from the Enron saga.
Does the article ring a bell for us in India? Have we learnt any lesson from our own Enron project in India?
The much hyped "economic reform" launched in 1991 opened the floodgates to foreign investment without adequate transparency, competition and regulation. As one among the eight "fast track" projects, a euphemism for lack of transparency and doling out political patronage, Enron was given the green signal to set up a 740MW base load power project in Maharashtra, at an exorbitant capital cost, using overpriced LNG from Qatar as its fuel. When there was widespread public criticism against the cost of the project, the government asked an expert group to review it. Ironically, for reasons best known to it, the expert group recommended further expanding the project capacity to 2,184MW, without any commensurate benefit to the public, thus making it not only a fait accompli but also converting it into a heavier millstone around the neck of the state. The project's capital structure was heavily structured in favour of debt, almost entirely financed by the government-owned financial institutions which were also forced to take a heavy exposure to guarantees for the project. The project location was at Dabhol, in the lush green Konkan area, known for its rich biodiversity. In the name of promoting FDI (foreign direct investment), the environment laws of the country were allowed to be blatantly compromised. Under intense political pressure, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) signed a one-sided Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Enron. The PPA imposed an unusually heavy cost burden on the people. Even as per that PPA, Enron was required to install a machinery that could readily ramp up its capacity within a short time to be able to meet the spurts in demand but it failed to do so, as the machinery was not up to it. Still, irrespective of their individual political denominations, the state's politicians, for their personal gains, forced the taxpayers and electricity consumers to pay a heavy price for the electricity generated by Dabhol.
The fact that Enron's executives spent crores of rupees to 'educate' the Indian politicians would never have come into public knowledge but for the evidence elicited from the company by the US legislators and its disclosure to the American public through the Freedom of Information Act of that country!
When Enron collapsed in the US, the Dabhol project also came to a standstill, denting the Indian financial institutions to the tune of more than Rs6,000 crore. A review committee set up under the chairmanship of Dr Madhav Godbole traced the misdeeds of the politicians and the civil servants and recommended a formal judicial enquiry to enable the government to nail the culprits and abrogate the PPA. Though a judicial enquiry was instituted, the changes in the political set up of the state resulted in the enquiry being shelved.
What happened to the Enron accomplices in India?
They have become richer, more influential than ever, expanding their ill-gotten empires more and more, having a greater say in ruling the lives of the ordinary Indians. They have risen in stature and political influence. If "conflict of interest" is a bad word in the US, "convergence of interest" seems to be the motto of our political leaders in their effort to plunder the state in every possible manner.
When the Enron mess had to be cleaned up in India, it is the same politicians that benefitted from it earlier, were the ones who called the shots once again to cause further losses to the public exchequer.
In the Indian context, the saying that "privatise profits; socialise losses" seems to have a universal validity. That is what has happened to the Dabhol project. It was the Indian politicians who initially benefitted from the largesse showered by Enron. When Enron went into oblivion and the Dabhol project became dysfunctional, these very same politicians conveniently shifted the losses to two premier PSUs, NTPC and GAIL. Ultimately, it is the people of Maharashtra who would bear the brunt of the politicians' sins!
There were no Skillings, Lays and Fastows in India who were ever brought to book.
Is it the end of the Enron story in India? Certainly not, as many more Enrons are once again in sight. This time, it has something to do with their coal-based counterparts.
During the first five years of UPA rule, the environment ministry cleared 1,92,913MW of new thermal power projects. It was already in the process of clearing another 5,09,000MW of thermal projects, mostly coal-based. The total additional coal-based generation capacity thus considered would be six times the existing capacity and three times the capacity projected by Planning Commission till 2031! The environment ministry had no compunction in allowing the power project developers to destroy wetlands, water bodies, irrigated lands, coastal stretches, etc, and displace thousands of poor families permanently, all in the name of promoting development.
One-third of the coal needed for these power projects was expected to come from coal blocks overseas. It is rumoured that the kickbacks from the liberalised mining activity in the country have found their way into coal and other mineral franchises clandestinely procured abroad!
Still, the remaining two-thirds of the coal needs to come from indigenous sources. Since the coal PSUs could not have mustered enough resources to cope up with this unprecedented "coal rush", the power companies, mostly private, sought allotment of captive blocks.
In the laissez faire environment that the present government has unleashed in the name of 'reform', prudence has been the first victim. Neither the power ministry nor the coal ministry thought it fit to oversee the unusual spurt in demand for power and coal.
Casting aside the need for transparency and competition, in a free-for-all situation, the politicians and the civil servants of both coal and environment ministries made hay while the sun was shining and merrily allotted around 200 coal blocks without auctions. A few influential private players laid siege to a large number of coal blocks to their advantage. The PSU banks did not lag behind, as they too were under pressure. They gave dubious loan assistance to both the private power producers and the private coal developers. Words of caution from the concerned citizens fell on deaf ears. Even reports of the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) were mocked at. Such has been the pressure of greed and deceit. Soon, the coal-power bubble will burst. A Coalgate and a multitude of Enrons will unfold, followed by unmanageable NPAs with the banks. After all, the people of India are always there to bear the burden of the sins of their political leaders.
In a landmark interpretation of Article 19 of the Constitution, the apex court of India stipulated that all those who seek public offices through elections should disclose their financial and criminal background to the public. The same Article paved the way for the far reaching Right to Information Act (RTA) that empowered the citizens to demand and know the way the public authorities functioned. Still, our politicians and the bureaucracy continue to defy the need for transparency. The recent 2G (second generation) spectrum scandal, the S-Band controversy, the numerous mining scams, the defence purchase scandals and so on, have dispirited the helpless citizen. But for the investigative journalism and the judicial activism that exist in our system, the public would never have come to know of the implications of these scams.
Anna Hazare's prescription for an all powerful Lokpal may sound utopian to his detractors, but looking at the numerous unfolding Enrons in the Indian context, he will surely prove right in the final analysis.
