ACCOUNTABILITY is not about finding a scapegoat when things go wrong. ACCOUNTABILITY is about ownership. We owe our situations and circumstances. We owe our behaviour and our actions. We owe our life. – Sanjeev Himachali

I am a liiiiittle behind in posting. I didn't even take a picture this week. And it isn't wednesday. Hehe. Whoops.
April 7th weight: 152 (scale is off by 7 pounds, so I really weigh 159, but I like it better this way)
April 14 weight: 150 (yay!)
I am ready to kick this baby weight! Last time it took me forever to lose it and I am going to do everything within my power to speed it up (safely and within reason). I am counting calories and starting (slowly) to run again. Or, you know, walk briskly. But running sounds like exercise. If I say, "I'm going for a walk," it sounds leisurely.

I care for an Elderly woman who spent her Youth blaming her own tortured childhood on the world, mainly her only child. Daily I watch as the demons of her past consume her; guilt eating away at what should be the Happiest time of her Life. When You're an inmate of the prison in Your mind there is No Escape nor Early Release date; the only option You have is to serve Your time. Sew Dirt, Reap Dirt. In life we're faced with the Truth & it may not be pretty or easy to accept however it doesn't change the fact of the Truth being the Truth. Karma doesn't travel in a straight line it moves in circles; so in fact We never really 'get away with anything.' The question is not if We're held accountable but - When will We be? Life is ironic the same person You may try to destroy, You may end up depending on to Survive. If You can't be kind, then just be gone; it'll be better for Everyone involved. Stay Prayerful, Focused, Encouraged & Conscious of the seeds You sew for the fruit You reap You may eventually have to eat in order to Live. ~LuvUMuch Neciaism Copyright © 2014

the inscription carries three bits of info: the brickmaker's name, his supervisor's name, and the plant at which the brick was made. the moral of the story is: don't make a shitty brick, or when your shitty brick craps out, somebody's going to be very able to find you and pound it down your throat into your chestal cavity while reading from the brickmaking policy handbook.
In her keynote address Thursday at the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce’s Innovations in Healthcare & Expo, DHSS Secretary Dr. Kara Odom Walker said Delaware’s health care spending and quality benchmarks will add transparency and accountability to Delaware’s health care system. In 2014, Delaware had the third-highest per-capita rate of health care spending in the country, behind only Alaska and Massachusetts. Working with Governor John Carney, the General Assembly and health care stakeholders across the state, the Governor signed Executive Order 25, which provides for a health care spending benchmark (3.8% in 2019) and eight quality benchmarks – targets for overall population health change -- in the areas of emergency department use, substance use disorder and cardiovascular disease.
Secretary Walker said the state also is pursuing a plan to reduce premiums on the health insurance marketplace to make the coverage more affordable for people who are not eligible for employer-based insurance, too young for Medicare, make too much for Medicaid, have aged off their parents’ insurance or are self-employed. She said the reinsurance plan would be “so relevant for the innovation economy.”
The more than 100 attendees were welcomed to the STAR Campus by UD’s College of Health Sciences Dean Kathleen Matt. She encouraged business people to “think about more things we can do together.” Dean Matt said the STAR Campus brings the community in, which leads to inspiration. Inspiration leads to innovation, which leads to impact. And that impact changes the health outcomes for the people of Delaware.
Following her keynote, Secretary Walker moderated a panel on health care innovation that included Randy Farmer, Chief Operating Office of the Delaware Health Information Network; Carolyn Morris, Director of Telehealth, Planning and Development for DHSS and a founder of the Delaware Telehealth Coalition; Catherine Burch, Director of the Health & Technology Center at Christiana Care Health System; and Martha Hall, Director of Innovation at UD’s College of Health Sciences.
To conclude the event, Rep. Michael Smith moderated a legislative panel that included Sen. Bryan Townsend, and Reps. David Bentz and Melissa Minor-Brown.

Indian Bureaucracy has received worldwide attention during our Commonwealth Games scams, and what used to be a local embarrassment for me became a talking matter since then. Our Bureaucracy is not the best. That is known. But what are the issues? The real problem with bureaucrats is not just about caste and reservation. It is about accountability and responsibility. The pay structure of our Bureaucracy is such that officers get little salaries and large perks and amenities in form of bungalows and servants. In many cases, they occupy the same bungalows that the British left in 1947. And they do not do their job responsibly.
How do we solve this issue? A simple answer would be to take away their comfortable lives and zap them into an accountable system, take away their amenities and force them to work. But that is not a plausible way. We need to understand that Bureaucracy entails a lot of responsibility. N Vittal, the former Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) used to say that corruption in India is a low-risk, high-profit game. When the risk of being caught is low, the tendency of corruption is high.
We had a healthy discussion on various online fora, and here are some very concrete steps that can be taken to increase accountability in our Indian Bureaucracy. Numerous ideas are taken from the private sector, and since our Modi government is all about privatization, we are emboldened to propose the following as a possible improvement in the Indian policy regarding bureaucrats:
Project-level ownership and accountability: Transfers of bureaucrats every 2-3 years dilute their responsibility as they are not in touch with any given region for long enough. We should assign an officer to a project – who is responsible for its success and failure. Officers are rewarded on the basis of their success in projects. They also need to be enabled to have complete power over the execution of a project.
Peer feedback system: Consider this system something like Google’s PageRank algorithm (not the exact thing, but this is a good starting point). Every officer can give anonymous feedback/rating to every other officer. The weight each officer’s ratings have on the person being rated depend on the rating officer’s ratings. So if an employee rated 4.5 stars rates another employee 3 stars, it carries more mathematical weight than a 2-star employee handing out a 5-star rating. Another system for citizens to rate the officers could also be introduced. Transparently declare these ratings on a website, and use these as a basis for promotions. I strongly believe that some form of peer rating system can be initiated and would be very helpful in bringing transparency to the performance of a civil servant. And why shouldn’t there be transparency? The government should give an impression of being accountable to ensure people have faith in it.
Lateral hiring from the private sector: Plenty of 40-something aged executives in the private industry have excellent intelligence and execution skills and are financially stable. They’d be happy to contribute to the society by the way of participating in government projects, which have enough scale and complexity to be considered challenging and interesting.
Reduce fixed components of salary and more performance-linked components: These could be linked to a project’s execution score – the number of parameters on which a completed project meets or exceeds its objectives, and the peer feedback system. I am pretty sure if we have mathematicians/game theoreticians design such ratings-incentives systems we can form them in a manner that encourages performance and minimizes abuse.
Consider hiring government officers a liability: We’re already going in this direction. The government should outsource everything they can, especially menial tasks like facilities management, payroll management, peons, security for non-critical infrastructure etc. You need to look at MNCs and see how they outsource stuff – security, facilities management, HR, event planning, payroll – everything is handled by third parties. Only executives, engineers, designers, etc. are recruited directly by them. Privatize all PSUs. The common argument for PSUs is that you need them for projects that cost more than the value they provide but need to be provided in any way. In such cases, just award a Viability Gap Funding to private companies undertaking such projects. Passport Seva Kendras are an excellent model where routine data collection and form filling is done by private employees. Only the final approval is given by government officers.
Empower Lokpal/Vigilance Divisions: It is that simple, really. All we need to reduce corruption is will at the top. The only reason a lot of these agencies are toothless is because everyone from the MLAs to the CMs depends on the corruption ecosystem to fill their pockets, fund their elections, run their corrupt businesses and keep them in power.
Transparency: To fix the entire system, from chaprasi to the head babu, we shall also put an ERP system for the file work in place. Every person has to check in and check out files. All modifications, permissions, rejections, fines, awards, everything gets logged. That’s it. Give a public UI for this system and watch things change.The roadblock will come from the government itself, and the problem (read it in Sir Humphrey’s voice) is this:
“My dear Bernard, if we start instituting transparent processes, one day we might become transparent!”
And that is it. I do not claim to have made a perfect set of guidelines, and this is surely not the expected tone of such reforms. But I am not the one making the reforms. I am here to have a discussion on the matter. Let me know your thoughts.
