...translator. The Chinese view the politics of climate change in a fundamentally different way than much of the developed world. We've had our time to grow rapidly, pollute and clean up, but China is just starting. We think of greenhouse gas emissions as something perhaps easy to limit - just get those better lights and better cars. But for China, those vastly accelerating greenhouse gas emissions are just another measurement of how life is getting better for more and more Chinese in the cities: more cars, more electricity, more gadgets, more stuff, all of which carry a greenhouse gas cost...
...those who can afford it are choosing to pay hefty premiums out-of-pocket to get more personalized, more polite service. There are now more than 1,000 doctors in the U.S. who have opened concierge, or boutique, practices, according to the Society for Innovative Medical Practice Design.

"For all of the last century," he said, "the profit motive basically led in one direction - toward machines, methods and industries that used oil and gas." He praised the good that came from that growth but pointed out that there were "costs we weren?t counting. And these terrible costs have added...
...Court judges dismissed by Musharraf late last year, when he feared they could deem his reelection as President unconstitutional. While Sharif's party has insisted on their immediate and unconditional reinstatement, the PPP has argued any reinstatement should form part of a wider judicial reform process that would also limit the powers of the Chief Justice. But the issue may be more than simply technical: given Musharraf's opposition to the return of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as head of the judiciary - which would raise the prospect of Musharraf's ouster on legal grounds - a restoration of the judges...
