Climate policy to map out transition to low-carbon economyBack

The policy would seek to balance the objectives of job creation, economic growth, environmental sustainability and reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
"Many criticise that our key policies are being dominated by other underlying objectives, such as employment for example. It would be a grave mistake to approach any new policy only in terms of reducing the country's carbon footprint. Hence a balanced and mainstream approach is needed for the benefit of all South Africans," Molewa told Engineering News Online on the sidelines of the DBSA's Greening Infrastructure Programmes in South Africa conference in Midrand.
The Minister said that the policy would not seek to unilaterally establish targets for industry and government departments in terms of the levels of CO2 emissions, as such a process required extensive consultation between all stakeholders.
She said the framework of the policy also took into consideration the country's 20-year Integrated Resource Plan.
Molewa said the department would continue to further engage all stakeholders on the implementation process of the strategy outlined in the policy.
Further, Molewa said that trade and climate change policies were "two sides of the same coin" and that their alignment was inevitable.
"But any move towards a green economy should not impose trade barriers especially for emerging economies."
She added that market-based policy measures, such as an escalating carbon tax to price carbon and internalising the external costs of climate change would be implemented.
"This will drive the diversification of our energy mix, and implement energy efficiency measures and investments in new and cleaner technologies and industries," Molewa explained.
"Greening the South African economy represents a critical lever for bringing about the structural transformation needed for a more equitable and inclusive economy."
Molewa called for public sector finance institutions and private developers to implement more integrated and environmentally appropriate development with regard to retrofits, new developments, infrastructure development and ecosystem maintenance.
While local content and innovation would be key drivers of the country's climate change policy and the so-called green economy, Molewa acknowledged that this could only be successful if markets for innovation actually existed and could be sustainable.
The Minister was open about the need for government to fund institutions to the level that it should to enable the capacity to drive research and development.
"Over the past few years, government funding has been declining and this needs to change to ensure that the South Africa's innovation and technology development capabilities are not eroded."

Op-ed: The culture of health-care secrecy harms patients
Health-care professionals are silenced by a rigid culture that refuses to admit that medical professionals make mistakes, writes guest columnist Kathleen Bartholomew.
Special to The Times
THE call was innocent enough. It certainly wasn't the first time. "My mom has to have a hip replacement. Which doctor would you recommend?"
As a registered nurse, it took but a second to rattle off the names of two stellar surgeons. But as I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but feel that it just wasn't fair.
It wasn't fair that as a nurse I had inside information that the general public could not access. I knew which surgeon had the highest infection rates, and which one had the most complications. I knew the healing power of caring relationships and witnessed significant differences in bedside manner firsthand. I received incident reports when a doctor delayed returning a page in the middle of the night, or when a nurse failed to catch a deteriorating condition.
I knew. We all did. But no one outside the hospital did.
Now, as I educate nurses across the state of Washington, they share their stories: the nurse who accidentally gave 10 times the normal pain medication for her 18-year-old patient who stopped breathing; the physician who operated on the wrong vertebrae — twice; or the patient who called 911 from her hospital bed because of excruciating unrelieved pain after a hysterectomy.
Want to know where bad stuff happens? Which hospital? You can't. Such knowledge is top secret. Furthermore, you can't discern the negligent acts from the accidents.
Good, competent humans make mistakes. But health-care professionals are silenced by a rigid culture that refuses to admit that medical professionals make mistakes. We work in an unrealistic culture that blames and shames physicians and nurses who are less than perfect, despite the fact that a perfect doctor or nurse, cannot, by definition, exist. Add this fallacy to a litigious culture, and it's clear why hospitals are in an extremely tough spot.
Consider that when sued, hospitals and health-care providers almost universally demand a sealed record in any out-of-court settlement of a lawsuit. At all costs, the public must not know. This is a business that routinely pays hush money for accidental death and injury, and gets away with it.
Despite nearly universal effort and education, there has been little improvement in patient safety since the Institute of Medicine's 1999 report "To Err is Human." More than 22 patients still die every hour in our hospitals from medical mistakes and unnecessary infections that absolutely could have been prevented. The details of most lethal mistakes will never make headlines.
The result? Those who should not be practicing are protected from discovery, while the vast majority of good doctors and nurses in an archaic system beat themselves up for making human mistakes when they should have been protected by the system from making those mistakes in the first place. (For example, by bar-coding all medication at the bedside and realistic staffing controlled at the front lines by nurses themselves.)
Until the tort system is disconnected from inadvertent medical mistakes, nothing will change because the fear of being sued suppresses the very information we desperately need to keep patients safe.
Twenty-six people dying in Newtown, Conn., in one day is a horror, but the same number of children and adults dying every hour is both intolerable and invisible in a culture designed primarily for self-protection and not patient safety.
What can you do? Demand full transparency from your medical providers, full access to your medical record, full explanation of all pricing and costs and open discussion of true outcomes. The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Score is a reliable place to start. Go to www.hospitalsafetyscore.org and make it a point to know your local hospital's grade. You wouldn't go to an "F"-rated restaurant, so treat your life with the same care you give to ordering a hamburger.
Meanwhile, those of us on the inside will continue to share who we would chose for our loved one.
It's worse than not fair. It is wrong.
Kathleen Bartholomew lives in Friday Harbor and co-authored the book "Charting the Course: Launching Patient-Centric Healthcare" with her husband, John J. Nance.

Look. If you want to be friends with me,there's some things you ought to know. If you tell me you're new and looking for a friendship but your first questions are "where do you live" "how old are you" and "are you single" I'll assume you are a creep. A friend would not be so quickly interested in my romantic life...

NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.
NOV 25 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the latest in a federal lawsuit against Du Pont that claims the chemical company's Ascension Parish plant has been leaking toxic fumes on a regular basis for years without reporting it. The company is asking the court to prevent the plaintiff from talking about a fatal toxic leak that happened in Texas, Tom writes.
NOV 25 Louisiana Democrats are limping, but don't count them out, Jeremy Alford writes in this post on LaPolitics. They've come back before; but the one thing the D's can't do is just twiddle their thumbs while waiting for the pendulum to swing left, Alford opines. They need to rebuild and rebrand, he says.
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Blogger Rod Dreher is writing about the increasing number of retail establishments who are open on Thanksgiving in this post. He's got a list of stores that will be open and a list of stores that won't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 This story in the LSU Reveille assures students that the Jindal administration's removal of millions from the TOPS fund won't affect students. Oh, ah. K. Is that like the raid on the OGB wasn't going to affect state employees? Who is the adviser for this paper?
NOV 25 Apparently the Jindal administration can't handle old folks, either. This post on The Advocate outlines a legislative auditor's report critical of the administration's handling (or not handling) of the state agency that oversees services for the elderly.
NOV 24 Blogger Bob Mann is blogging about race and the Senate campaign in this post. Sure, everybody knows that Mary Landrieu doesn't do too well with white folks, but how come the GOP can't get arrested in the black community? Bob is asking.
NOV 24 The GOP has a boogie-man for anybody thinking about voting for Mary Landrieu: President Obama. But the Dems have one for Bill Cassidy, too, Melinda Deslatte writes in this AP post on The Reading Eagle -- and his name is Governor Jindal.
NOV 24 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about Bobby Jindal's continuing refusal to accept federal funding for the expansion of Medicaid. It's purely an attempt to benefit him politically, meaning the decision is "cruel, short-sighted and remarkably self-centered." Well, yeah. Have you met him?
NOV 24 Because of a town ordinance, the police will come to a disabled girl's home this week to take away her service dog and kill him. Sound like a bad Lifetime movie? Nope - it's real life in Moreauville, blogger Lamar White Jr. tells us in this post. The dog's crime? Being born a pit bull. What's the reason for this ordinance? Well, the town fathers are a little vague on that one. Maybe Obama?

Well, it's a step in the right direction:
United Nations members voted decisively on Tuesday for a groundbreaking resolution that condemns North Korea for human rights abuses and for the first time recommends the prosecution of its leaders for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.
The North Koreans reacted exactly as you'd expect them to react:
Outraged and humiliated in a vote that was shown live on the United Nations website, North Korea's representative called the resolution an insidious plot to destabilize the country by its enemies, notably the United States. The representative, Choe Myong-nam, said the North might conduct more nuclear weapons tests in response.
So there!
Mr. Choe, a Foreign Ministry adviser on United Nations and human rights issues, also said the resolution, written by the European Union and Japan and co-sponsored by 62 members, including the United States, was based on a "compilation of groundless political accusations and contradictions."
Presented at the General Assembly committee that oversees human rights issues, the resolution was the outcome of a devastating report on North Korean repression conducted by a United Nations panel of experts and published in February.
The resolution passed by a 111-to-19 vote, with 55 abstentions. Approval at a plenary General Assembly session is a formality.
Among the no votes, predictably, were China and Russia. Both have seats, and the power of veto, on the Security Council - and since only the Security Council can refer cases to the International Criminal Court, that could well be that.
But the case has been made, in the public forum of the UN.
"Today was a very significant day, and yes, the North Koreans are very genuinely upset over it," said Sue Mi Terry, a senior research scholar at Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute and a former intelligence officer with the United States government, who specializes in North Korea. "Obviously, Kim Jong-un has a thin skin."
Ms. Terry said a Security Council vote on a referral to the International Criminal Court would put both Russia and China in awkward positions. "If they want to be seen defending the human rights record of the worst human rights offender on the planet, let them do so in public and pay a price," she said.

Just the facts...
Minimalist reporting from the Express Tribune:
LAHORE: Police said on Saturday that a man had killed his 22-year-old daughter for honour late on Friday in Samanabad.
They said Shahzada Shahid Pervaiz, a resident of Samanabad, killed her after a heated argument. Police said he had knifed her. They said she was taken to Services Hospital where she had succumbed to her injuries. Police said the body had been sent to a mortuary for autopsy.
They said Pervaiz had surrendered to police and produced the knife he had used to kill her. Police said a case had been registered against him on the complaint of his wife.
Pervaiz said he had no remorse. He said he had been compelled to kill her as she wanted to marry for love. A forensic surgeon at Mayo Hospital said the deceased had been stabbed in the stomach, chest and shoulders. He said the body had been returned to the family of the deceased for burial. The complainant refused to speak to The Express Tribune regarding the incident. A neighbor said the deceased had wanted to marry a teacher of hers. The deceased was pursuing a degree in sociology at the Punjab University.

The increasing, um, eccentricity of Turkey's Erdogan becomes yet harder to ignore:
Muslims discovered the Americas more than three centuries before Christopher Columbus, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.
He made the claim during a conference of Latin American Muslim leaders in Istanbul, pointing to a diary entry in which Columbus mentioned a mosque on a hill in Cuba.
Mr Erdogan also said "Muslim sailors arrived in America in 1178".
He said he was willing to build a mosque at the site Columbus identified.
The Turkish president - whose AK Party is rooted in political Islam - gave no further evidence to back up his theory, instead stating: "Contacts between Latin America and Islam date back to the 12th Century."
The BBC report manages, commendably, to keep a straight face:
Columbus is widely believed to have discovered the Americas in 1492, while trying to find a new route to India.
But in a disputed article published in 1996, historian Youssef Mroueh said Columbus' entry was proof that Muslims had reached the Americas first and that "the religion of Islam was widespread".
However many scholars believe the reference is metaphorical, describing an aspect of the mountain that resembled part of a mosque.
No Islamic structures have been found in America that pre-date Columbus.

Gallery Retro Shows We Fell In Love With
If we could have a time machine, THESE are the retro shows that we would love to have been a part of.
The stage at the Millennium Stadum is ready for a four hour celebration of the King of Pop's music.
Most acts arrived in Cardiff yesterday and earlier this morning every artist took part in a full dress rehearsal before doors opened at 4.30.
The JLS boys spent yesterday afternoon playing golf, before enjoying dinner with family and friends, including Rochelle from The Saturdays. The boys will appear in both acts of the two part show and will also appear on stage with some very special guests.
Pixie Lott has spent the past week rehearsing for her performance and confessed to me last night that she'll perform some ballet moves on stage, later tonight. She'll also sing one of Michael's biggest No.1 hits from the 90s. "I'm so glad I've got this song, as it's one of my favourites and such beautiful track."
Alexandra Burke rehearsed late last night and confessed to me that she'll perform a track from Michael's 1995 HIStory album as well as a classic Motown song.
Ne-Yo will open the show and Leona Lewis will provide a moment of calm when she performs an acoustic version of one her favourite MJ tracks. Jennifer Hudson and Christina Aguilera have also flown in especially to perform at the show.
Michael Jackson's mother Katherine, his three children, sister LaToya and brother Tito, Jackie and Marlon will also attend the show which will be hosted by Jamie Foxx.
If we could have a time machine, THESE are the retro shows that we would love to have been a part of.

PARIS—Louis Vuitton has named Nicolas Ghesquière as its new artistic director, replacing the outgoing Marc Jacobs with the designer best known for his ties to the Balenciaga fashion house.
Louis Vuitton announced the appointment on its official Twitter account with a black-and-white photo of Ghesquière.
Jacobs parted ways with Louis Vuitton in September, although his namesake brand still falls under LVMH umbrella. His replacement has been the subject of intense interest, both among investors for LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and in the fashion world.
Ghesquière left Balenciaga in 2012 after a 15-year run in which he successfully refocused attention on the brand and drew in celebrity fans such as Beyoncé and Rihanna. He is being sued by Balenciaga, which accuses him of being in breach of a confidentiality clause for speaking negatively of the fashion house in an interview.
Jacobs favoured a more vintage-inspired look than Ghesquière, who has a reputation for adding a rebellious, rock 'n' roll edge to his designs. He also won't be in charge of accessories like bags as Jacobs was. In a structural change, Darren Spaziani was appointed to a new role overseeing Louis Vuitton's high-end leather goods last week.

Something Fab: Missoni for Target
by Sara Osburn
posted Sep 13 2011 12:27PM
What a day. The Missoni line for Target is here...and now pretty much sold out everywhere. The website for Target has been offline since at least 7am...and stores were ransacked by frenzied women the minute they opened. I got a tip from a listener Melissa that the Georgetown Target still had some merchandise...so after failing at 2 Targets....I was on a mission. When friends/family found out I was going...I got lots of requests. For example, my mom found shoes in my size in Dallas...but still needed shoes in her size etc. etc. etc.
I about had a heart attack in the purchase line, and I felt the need to tell everyone in line that I was just buying stuff for friends/family who lived near sold out stores.
Got to say - really impressed with the quality of the line...and can't WAIT to wear my shoes!!!
Oh...and shout out to Rosa who totally BUSTED me the second I walked into the store. Yes. I did drive 30+ miles for shopping. ha

That's one hot great-grandma! Meet the bikini-clad 64-year-old beating twenty-somethings to first place in fitness contests
When you think of a bikini contest, the image of a great-grandmother is not the first thing that springs to mind.
But for one 64-year-old fitness fanatic from Los Angeles, California, a recent victory over her perky twenty-something rivals at the FitSciences Championships was just another notch on her belt.
Ruby Carter-Pikes, also known as 'Miss Ruby', is a great grandmother with a six pack that even a college athlete would be jealous of and a cabinet of bikini competition trophies to prove it.
Hot grand-mama! Ruby Carter-Pikes is 64 years old and a great-grandmothers but she doesn't let that stop her from winning fitness competitions all over the country and beating her much younger competition
The sexagenarian, who calls herself a health expert and fitness guru, is a familiar face on the body-building and fitness competition circuit and most recently picked up two winning shields at the Atlanta, Georgia competition.
Strutting the stage in a skimpy, string two-piece, Ms Carter-Pikes scored a second place win for the category titled Women's Figure, as well as claiming a prize as Women's Super Masters Winner.
In Women's Figure judges rated the contestant on her shoulders, latissimus dorsi and quadriceps.
development is very important as well,' spelled out the rules on the
website. 'Definition with a limited amount of striated muscles.'
Winner: The sextagenarian (third from left) recently took home two shields from the FitSciences Championships in Atlanta, Georgia, where most of the competition was half her age
You go girl! 'Miss Ruby' as she is known on the circuit, was judged on her shoulder, back and quadriceps as well as abdominal muscles
Other categories in the contest hosted by the healthy lifestyle management company, were Fit Mom, Female Fitness Model, Bikini Spokesmodel and Junior Fitness Spokesmodel.
Fresh from her victory at the
Atlanta's 14th Street Playhouse venue, the muscular great-grandmother
told FitSciences competition organisers: 'It was fantastic. Overall I'm having a
Her enjoyment of the event is hardly surprising for someone whose challengers are less than half her age.
Ms Carter-Pikes has been eating well and exercising for years, inspired by the tragic health issues suffered by several family members, problems that she attributes on her blog to poor nutritional education during childhood.
Push! Ms Carter-Pikes who workouts regularly and takes care of her health is inspired by the crippling health issues suffered by her family on account of lack of education
'I am the oldest of twelve siblings and the first grand daughter of 45 grandchildren. We lived in a rural and remote area in Mississippi,' she explains on BodyProud.org.
Growing up on a farm, she continues,
though the family were active and regularly held dances and horse riding
games, the food produced from the land consisted primarily of white
flour, sugar and meals were often fried.
She had also been born with a heart condition that affected her ease of breathing and so attention to health had always been a priority.
Let me show you how it's done: The fitness competitor is a familiar face on the championship circuit
After having four children and seeing how precious life could be when she lost family to cholesterol complications and diabetes, she upped the ante and fitness became not just a priority but her life.
Though a post dated 2008 claims she ran a gym in Canoga Park, Los Angeles, Ruby's Fitness Gym proved an elusive establishment, untraceable on the web.
What is certain however, is that this great-grandmother's 'dedication to the fitness industry', as one impressed You Tube commentator put it, is nothing short of remarkable.

Lazarus is the poor man at the gate of the rich man in Christ's parable related in Luke. (Luke 16:19-31) His name was perpetuated in the Middle Ages by such words as Lazaretto (hospital), Lazarone (a beggar in the street), and the Order of St. Lazarus, which though a military order, had as one of its objectives, the care of lepers. His feast day is June 21st.

Acid attack survivor wins millions on 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'
NEW DELHI (TrustLaw) - Four months ago, acid attack victim Sonali Mukherjee just wanted to die to escape her suffering.
Now, the 27-year-old is a rupee millionaire after appearing on "Kaun Banega Crorepati", the Indian version of popular quiz show "Who wants to be a Millionaire". She plans to use her experience to help combat the heinous crime of acid violence, which kills hundreds of people every year, most of them women.
"I've had 22 operations and nine more are remaining, so that at least my eyes and ears are functional," Mukherjee told the Times of India. "If I recover, I want to help people like me. In my nine years of struggle, I have faced a lot. I know the kind of difficulties we have to face, with no help from any quarter."
Nine years ago, three men broke into Mukherjee's home in the middle of the night as she slept and poured acid over her face - burning her skin, melting away her eyelids, nose, mouth and ears and leaving her partly deaf and blind - simply because she spurned their sexual advances.
Left with 70 percent burns and severe disfigurement, Mukherjee, who was a 17-year-old college student in Jharkhand's Dhanbad town, endured years of suffering, confined to her home. Her family could not afford the expensive reconstructive surgery she needed to help her live a normal life.
Her three attackers were released after serving three years in prison.
Unable to continue what she said was "half a life with half a face", Mukherjee begged the government to allow her to kill herself. Euthanasia is illegal in India.
In the weeks that followed, Mukherjee's story made national headlines and there was an outpouring of public support for her. Local charities and private hospitals came forward offering to fund the surgery she needed.
The turning point came this weekend, when she was invited to appear as a contestant on "Kaun Banega Crorepati" hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. "I could never imagine that I would meet big people. Meeting Big B was the best thing. He is such a big star, but is so humble and down-to-earth," she said.
Wearing sunglasses and with a red scarf wrapped round her head and partly covering her face, she was guided onto the stage by Bachchan and former Miss Universe Lara Dutta, and given a standing ovation by the audience.
Confidently answering questions on everything from botany and cooking to political history, the young woman scooped 2.5 million rupees with her celebrity partner Dutta.
Mukherjee plans to use her winnings to complete her surgery, but says this is not the end of her struggle. With her new-found celebrity status, she wants to speak out against acid violence, most common in countries such as Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, where social structures remain deeply patriarchal.
Around 1,500 acid attacks are reported globally each year, 80 percent of them on women, says the London-based charity Acid Survivors Trust International, though it also says this is a gross under-estimate as most victims are scared to speak out.
"I appeal to the government to ensure that these cases are not repeated," said Mukherjee. "Make a separate law, which is not just on paper, but is followed," she said.

text: The MaskIt had been too many days since that first time. As soon as it touched her face, her mind would swell and be enveloped with a feeling that she did not know. The tips of her fingers would tingle and her nose at the end of her face would stick out and twitch. Now, with all her senses heightened, she would venture from the dark, dank attic and through the huge open window like a bird escaping; gently, ghostly and with a passion for the open space which beckoned for her.It would broaden her mind. No longer did she have worries of a thankless job, the harsh landlord or her next meal; they had all disappeared and been replaced with the strength of a bloodthirsty army. As she leapt from rooftop to rooftop, it clung to her face.There was nothing exceptional about it at first glance: white with a vacant expression that could possibly even be stupidity. But on close inspection, one was enthralled by its colour; a white purer than glistening snowfall that shone as moonlight fell upon it, and to

The concrete barriers that protect bikers from speeding traffic on Williamsburg Street between Kent and Flushing Avenues had been covered with graffiti for quite some time, so the nice people at the great volunteer organization New York Cares took it upon themselves this weekend to spiff them up with some colorful hand-painted designs.
