Doesn?t this Undermine the Separation of Powers?
2009-09-16 02:07:00
Look, I believe one should show respect for the President of the United States, but I don’t believe the respect makes him immune from harsh criticism. I also appreciate the balance of powers that James Madison established in our Constitution, creating a tension between the executive and legislative branches.  But, when you regulate the language House ...
Form Contracts In China. You've Got To Fight The Powers That Be.....
2009-06-10 00:20:00
This is the second in a series of posts on Chinese contract law by co-blogger Steve Dickinson. The first post, "China Contract Law: Going All Clear On Us Now," discussed recently issued PRC Supreme Court explanations on various aspects of contract law. This post discusses how Chinese law tends to disfavor contractual disclaimers of liability. US courts tend to disfavor them as well, but workarounds are usually possible. This is not the case in China and we are finding that most of our US and European clients (particularly those in the shipping/freight business) do not realize this. In my recent post concerning the PRC Contract Law, I noted that restrictions on disclaimers of liability in form contracts are a particular concern. As I mentioned, form contracts are often used for cargo and other carriage contracts. The primary function of such contracts is normally to limit the liability of the carrier. This runs directly against the form contract provisions of the Contract Laws...
Voting ?NO? in California; Defying the Powers That Be
2009-05-20 00:03:00
While the Governor whom I once so enthusiastically supported, having given generously to his reelection campaign in 2006 hobnobs in Washingon, D.C. with the president, I did a very un-LA thing and walked, yes, walked the three blocks to my polling place to vote against the ballot measures he strongly supports. I saw that walk as ...

Police Powers - Nandor's observervations
2009-02-13 04:11:00
Former Green MP, Nandor Tanczos sent to my Bebo.....Two pieces of 'law and order' legislation are being debated by parliament under urgency. The first is the Gangs and Organised Crime Bill. Going by the press release, it seems like a typical case of throwing good legislative time after bad. Justice Minister Simon Power says ""By doubling the sentence for participation in a gang we are reflecting the culpability of those gang leaders who organise the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine, and we are addressing the low rate of successful convictions".Eh? It appears that selling P is a worse crime if you are a Mongrel Mob member than if you are an evil sociopath with no friends. Not quite sure why. Nor am I sure why doubling the sentence will increase the number of convictions. (The release says that "of 339 prosecutions there were only 19 convictions" which I guess highlights either how poorly thought out the original legislation was or how incompetent the police are).They...

Of the Powers of Police
2008-12-29 15:23:00
There is a scene in Fred Zinnemann’s great film, “High Noon” (1952), in which Will Kane (Gary Cooper) loses his head in a bar room. Desperate for help against the bad guys, he slugs some dink who is standing around jeering at him. Off the floor, the downed dink nonetheless looks up at him from the moral high-ground: “You had no call to do that, Marshal. You wear a badge.” The moral principle: a unilateral monopoly on the use of force is a terrible thing, and it sets those who presume to claim it fundamentally apart from everyone else. To my mind, it is impossible, but the necessary political implication is that they must always tolerate behavior around them to which most people would take righteous offense but can never be proscribed in criminal statute. They have to be better than ordinary men because of the moral claim that they advance. I don’t believe that is possible. In any case, police departments nationwide are failing this test atrocious...

Animals also have SUPER POWERS...
2008-12-29 14:41:00
If you ever had a dog as a kid, you may have had a dog whistle. Although you couldn˘t hear it, your dog could and he˘d come running to see what all the fuss was about. This is because a dog has a hearing range of up to 40,000 Hz.. This unique difference is one of many which various animals possess, giving them the evolutionary edge they need to survive.Some of them are as underMagnetic FieldThe loggerhead turtle has a 10 year migration period in which it circles round the Atlantic Ocean. A study took 79 newly born loggerheads and put them in a circular tank. The tank was surrounded by a big electrical coil and the scientists messed around with it, generating magnetic fields to match those of northern Florida, Portugal and other places on the turtles 10 year circuit. The turtles responded and turned in the direction that they would had they been in migration out in the real world. Nobody is quite sure how the turtles do it, but they detect the magnetic field which surrounds the Earth...

English votes on English matters - Unique Powers.
2008-06-09 11:07:00
Why is the question of English votes on English matters so difficult to sort out? We've had Malcolm Rifkind's Grand Committee, which it is argued will only add another layer of government. Now after a lengthy process Ken Clarke comes up with another bloody stupid idea.From the Telegraph: He (Ken Clarke) is said to have advised allowing all MPs to vote on English legislation at the initial second reading stage of parliamentary scrutiny. But only English MPs would get to vote during the detailed committee stage of the legislative process, where real changes can be effected. At the third and final reading, all MPs could once again vote, but a new parliamentary undertaking would prevent any party using Scottish votes to block amendments made by English MPs.Why oh why can't we just stop Scottish MPs voting in England on any matter that would normally be devolved to Scotland? In other words - any subject that English MPs are not allowed to vote on in Scotland. Surely that would be a f...

A brand new powers in a brand new middle East "1-2"

This is a brand new Middle East for sure that suits a brand new world , another step towards the new middle East where the Usually leading countries are substituted with other countries in the leading place,it is not about dictatorship regimes and minorities . In the last 20Th century Egypt and Saudi Arabia were the leading the countries in the Middle East, Egypt was the first then Saudi Arabia was the second , then in the last 27 blessed years the roles were switched especially in the last two years , Saudi Arabia became the leader and we are the follower , of course both were following the American Orders blindly. Saudi Arabia was always the faithful ally for the United States ,so it is not a surprise , Egypt has its own ups and downs with America since the revolution or the coup of 1952 "it was actually the first one to be backed by the American administration then in the region" Any how it seems that the United States got bored from these two dictatorship corrupte...

Powers of Spore
2008-06-03 18:25:00
This short film is brilliant, and not unsurprisingly has inspired many tributes and spoofs over the years - Men in Black, Contact and The Simpsons have all borrowed the concept. Most significant to us gamers though is that (beyond the IBM sponsorship and cool '70s CGI) Will Wright cites it as inspiration for Spore. The Spore Creature Creator is out on June 17th, with a cut down demo also being made available for free via spore.com. The full game is due in Europe on 5th September and 7th in the US for Mac and PC.. Game of the year? I don't see why not.
