The Social Foundations of China's Living ConstitutionRandall PeerenboomLa Trobe University - Faculty of Law and Management; Oxford University - Centre for Socio-Legal Studies January 26, 2010 Abstract: The article examines the social foundations of constitutionalism in China, focusing on constitutions as a historical response to particular events. The goal is to move beyond an analysis of the constitution as a formal text to shed light on the de facto constitutional order in China, on China's living constitution and its social, historical, cultural, economic, political and legal foundations. Part I begins with a brief historical overview of China's constitutions. Parts II discusses the current constitution, passed in 1982, and its four subsequent amendments. Part III explores the main functions of the constitution in China today and how the constitutional order actually operates. Part IV discusses China's living constitution. Part V concludes with some thoughts about the future of constitutionalism in China, and the possibility of a party-state alternative to liberal democratic constitutionalism. Number of Pages in PDF File: 41 Keywords: constituitonalism, living constitution, comparative law, law and development, public law, China Date posted: January 27, 2010Suggested CitationContact Information

Hey, Serty!
Spew some mindless vitriol here. Something about how The Economist is hackishly going after Republicans without respite. At least this post doesn't deserve it less than the others.
HOURS after our post about Ronald Reagan's legacy, Fox News releases a new poll that provides an answer to the Reagan-or-Obama question.
What do you think the nation's economy needs more of right now -- the economic policies of Ronald Reagan or the economic policies of Barack Obama?Barack Obama - 49%
Ronald Reagan - 40%
Would everyone who answered the question be able to compare Mr Reagan's 1981 budget to Mr Obama's 2009 budget? Well, probably not. But this is yet more evidence that Mr Reagan's power is slipping with the electorate.
Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
Hey, Serty!
Spew some mindless vitriol here. Something about how The Economist is hackishly going after Republicans without respite. At least this post doesn't deserve it less than the others.
Still 40% for such a failed radical. Urgs. Had this naive idear that at least 50% of the republican voters would prefer Obama to.
Hmmm..... considering who did the poll, things look different.
Just another example of the left wing media enforcing its own narrative and trying to smear the name of the holy one, the cowboy messiah, our lord and savior R.R.
la chevre, I'm glad you agree with me that other posts are more deserving of my complaint. There's a recommend button for you to click :)
About the content of this one. Michael Jackson just announced a series of concert dates this summer, further underscoring just how damaged the GOP brand is with the public. They are ready to give MJ a second chance but not Reagan.
My comment isn't nearly as good as Sertorius's, but apparently China is more popular than the Republican party:
46% of Americans voted for McCain in a high turnout election, so it's not Republican ideals that have been completely and irreparably damaged the past 8 years so much as the party in charge of promoting them.
we want newt ... We Want Newt ... WE WANT NEWT ... WE WANT NEWT !!!
Hey goatboy!
I'll jump in for Sert. Let me check my math. 28 years later, Reagan's 1981 budget has dropped nine percentage points behind Obama's current budget. Reagan's budget was in 1981 dollars ... so this poll basically evens out.
I'll get back to you next week to report a change in percentage points in real-time dollars.
Blast that left-wing Fox News with their kow-towing to Pelosi and her merry band of Hollywood elites. They destroyed Brad and Jen, single-handedly brought down Lehman, and now they're blowing our tax money on the War on Christmas.
Huh. Blind populism doesn't feel as good as I thought it would.
The poll results are available here: http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/030509_Poll.pdf The Reagan-or-Obama question was question 14.

Great ROI vKumar1, in fact I remember Sector 105 and 108 as being around 40k in Nov/Dec 2009. Both these sectors along with JP plots are probably amongst the best investments that could have been done in Noida over the past couple of years.
October 9 2011, 08:19 PM | #22 | |

There are not too many plots in this sector, and especially with bigger plots, the density is super low. Location is too good with so ease of access to the Expressway. Can't beat the location. |

LOL, so I have the chances of meeting legendry Mr S Bajaj in person in future! May be in a very near neighborhood. (Although not a ripe plan, I actually may plan to live there too - if things go very wonderful for Noida as projected.)
October 9 2011, 08:55 PM | #25 |
Agreed that 105/108 have excellent location and this is well reflected in the prices. If you look closely at the sector layouts you would notice that there are a lot of wide roads like 18 and 24 metres and this will give give them an open feel. These sectors (105/108) are not as well developed as sector 47 and 48 which are also in the vicinity but still quote a higher price.
October 9 2011, 09:13 PM | #26 | |
My understanding is that we need to 1 pay 5% for registry 2 pay 5% for agreement to lease 3 pay transfer charges to authority this varies in each sector 4 pay lease rent or one time lease rent I would be grateful if you or any other members can throw more light on the points raised |

In case one time lease rent is already paid then lease rent is not payable. In my particular case, I bought this one from my close relative, and its transaction involved will/gift deeds etc. in my wife's name, and saved good money. The whole details will disclose too many personal things. You can find very useful pertinent informations here: Noida Authority Online One personal experience I will definitely like to share with members here. Always keep an eye on your close relatives' properties, whenever they are willing to sell. The transactions in these cases are very less heart burning, and it is win win situation for both. If you find the deal good for the investment point of view, go for it. I did it many times. |
October 10 2011, 12:39 PM | #28 |
Dear vKumar1 , Thanks for answering my query.
I agree with your point about buying from a close/blood relative. I have personally experienced this , in case of a close relative the authority allows the transfer for a nominal fee, whereas in case of resale you end up spending a lot of money on documentation. Most people do not realise this additional cost when they are buying a plot, I guess this could be compared to the additional charges that flat buyers pay ( which is also a significant sum). |
October 10 2011, 12:51 PM | #29 |
vKumar1 you mentioned that you are paying a penalty to NA for not constructing on your plot, why don't you get a CC by going for minimum construction. For a 300 m plot the cost which would include water and electricity connection as well as the fee/bribe should be within 10 lacs.
You are hopeful of a price of around 175k/sq m , I see no reason why in the fulness of time this figure is not achievable but in the words of that old veteran S bajaj the game changer for plots in Noida would be if/when floor registry is allowed. In my view it is well worth waiting for those with a long term horizon. |

Reese Witherspoon had a busy weekend in LA taking care of her oldest son, Deacon. She and husband Jim Toth met up with Ryan Phillippe to watch Deacon play soccer on Saturday. Reese, Jim, and Ryan chatted on the sidelines as they cheered on Deacon and his team. Deacon participated in the game despite showing up with a wrap on his left wrist, and it looks like he injured his arm further during the match. Yesterday, Deacon was sporting an orange cast with his name written on it during a lunch run with Reese. Last week, though, Reese was all about Deacon's newest sibling. Reese's son Tennessee Toth was seen for the first time since his birth in September.

Lawrence Man Sentenced to 22 Years in Prison on Drug Charges
Lawrence, MA A Lawrence man was sentenced late yesterday in federal court for conspiring to distribute crack and cocaine.
Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, New England Field Division; and United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan announced that MARCO DE LA PAZ, age 32, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Joseph L. Tauro to 22 years' imprisonment, to be followed by 5 years of supervised release. DE LA PAZ, a citizen of the Dominican Republic, may also face deportation following the completion of his prison sentence. DE LA PAZ previously pleaded guilty on October 15, 2002, to charges of conspiring to distribute crack and cocaine.
At the earlier plea hearing, and in filings in connection with sentencing, the prosecutor informed the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence, which included two months of recorded telephone conversation intercepted pursuant to Court Order and the testimony of several co-defendants who either worked for, or were customers of, the DE LA PAZ organization, would have proven that in 1999 and 2000, DE LA PAZ ran a large scale crack operation in Lawrence. DE LA PAZ obtained multi-ounce quantities of powder cocaine, cooked it into crack, and sold it to customers in and around Lawrence. At the height of its operation, the organization was utilizing at least 8 employees to cook the crack, store it at several stash houses, field telephone orders from customers, and deliver the crack by automobile. The organization had close to 50 regular customers and sold at least 2000 rocks of crack cocaine every month. The court found at sentencing the DE LA PAZ was the leader of the organization.
The federal investigation of the DE LA PAZ organization resulted in the indictment of 23 defendants. Of the 23 defendants, 20 have entered guilty pleas and 3 remain fugitives. Of the 20 defendants who have pleaded guilty, 14 have now been sentenced. DE LA PAZ, the leader of organization, received the highest sentence. Several other runners and customers of the organization received sentences of 5 and 6 years in prison.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Cross-Borders Task Force.

Orpheus was the first ever rock star. He may not have an electric guitar, but you would not believe the things this guy can do on a lyre. Orpheus plays so beautifully that he can charm the pants off of anybody—mortals, gods, animals, trees, rocks—you name it. And not only is Orpheus a fabulous musician, but he's a hero to boot. He went with Jason and the Argonauts on the Quest for the Golden Fleece, where he drowned out the Sirens with his amazing music. He also makes it on the very short list of heroes who managed to go down to the Underworld and make it out again (when he tried to rescue his wife, Eurydice). On top of all that, Orpheus is said to be the founder of the Orphic religious cult, which promised its followers a blessed afterlife. Rock star, hero, prophet—pretty much, Orpheus was the man.

Mexican Marigolds
In Mexico, these beautiful flowers are grown for the Day of the Dead Celebration. We created these beauties using: oil pastels, painted paper, tempera paint, and construction paper.
1. Students created the vase shape then added monochromatic oil pastels to the vase. Students chose 1 geometric shape then rotated the monochromatic colors of oil pastels.
2. Students then painted stems with leaves containing patterns above the vase.
3. The marigolds were created using painted paper.
Shapes were drawn on the back, then students cut out flowers and added oil pastels details to the painted paper side.
Glorious, fun and cheerful!
4 comments:
Wow! This are great! I don't use vases on my Day of the Death althar, but marigolds do look as gorgeous as your kids'!
I first came to your blog because of the mexican mirrors, but now that I've been lurking arround I see the great influence you have from mexican culture... are you a migrant or descendant? You have great ideas that I would proudly offer to mexican children in art class... :D

- Summary:
- Developer: Hudson
- Genre(s): Puzzle
- # of players: 1-4
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 5
Mixed: 4 out of 5
Negative: 1 out of 5
The visuals are also pretty bland and the controls can be finicky. There is fun to be had, though, particularly with the cooperative multiplayer mode (which is available online).
Fun for five minutes, but too samey. [June 2010, p.97]
Diner Dash is a fun game and a well-executed concept on the PC which could have been faithfully ported to WiiWare simply by swapping mouse for Remote and adding NES-style control for a manual alternative. Instead we have unnecessary use of the Nunchuk and visuals which certainly could have been better rendered on the Wii than they are.
Diner Dash has always been a fun and frantic game, but the rough graphics, lack of online players and steep price tag makes this port hard to recommend.
Stupidly expensive. [June 2010, p.76]

Our Bureau
Coimbatore, Aug. 8
The Finance Ministry has extended the time limit up to December 31 for the pump manufacturers to get the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mark for availing themselves of the SSI duty exemption. In a statement, Mr C.R. Shanmughasundaram, President, SIEMA, and Mr G. Rajendran, Convenor, Joint Action Council, said initially the Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, had agreed to extend the time limit up to July 31 this year for the small and tiny pump manufacturers to get the BIS certification to be eligible for the SSI exemption. But these units expressed their inability to create testing facilities at their factories and prepare samples within the timeframe earlier specified and sought extension of time by six months.
In response to the request, the Finance Minister has given time till December 31 to comply with the rule. The small and tiny pump manufacturers have said the Government's decision would greatly benefit the industry.

Should women hockey players apologize for smoking and drinking on ice?
Fri, February 26, 2010 THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER -- Hockey Canada apologized Thursday for a boozy impromptu party the Olympic women's hockey team threw for itself on the Canada Hockey Place ice after winning the gold medal. Canadian players, still wearing their uniforms and with gold medals draped around their necks, celebrated their victory by drinking champagne and beer at centre ice following a 2-0 win over the United States. The International Olympic Committee said it will investigate the celebration, which included drinking by one of Canada's underage players. In a statement released late Thursday, Hockey Canada apologized. Do you think it was necessary for Hockey Canada to apologize for the players? Have your say in our forum. IOC chides golden girls

The only people who should be apologizing are the reports and news outlets that make this a story.
Clearly a ploy by jealous U.S. reporters to "rat out" the Canadians after they stomped the rest of women's hockey. They worked hard - let them celebrate in peace.
Admittedly not a class act. Those celebrations should be confined to the dressing room and, discretion being the better part of valour, the underager should have been told by the team's captain to enjoy her booze but only in the dressing room. Having said that, however, the ladies did just capture the Holy Grail of women's hockey, Olympic gold. It was time to celebrate and, if the stands were empty, no harm in enjoying a little nip and a puff on a (hopefully) good cigar out in the open. Anyway, I saw a few of the ladies holding cans of Coors Light. Heck, that's not even beer.

No every hockey players has a drink and a smoke after a win. After all we are Canadian and that's what we do
craig, 2010-02-26 18:07:35
We want the win, we got the win. The ladies celebrated. Wouldn't we all? The IOC should get over themselves and accept that this is about spirit and celebration. Athletes are amazing people, but they are people. Let them be.
We won and we can celebrate ANY way we want. The IOC can take a flying fazoo. These old farts should ask their grown daughters what they would do.!!!!! Might be in fo a surprise.
Bob Stuart, 2010-02-26 17:59:25
to all those who are critical of the celebration i say
SHUT UP let em enjoy themselves
I really feel that our women deserve to celebrate their gold any way they choose, it is a feat they have sacrificed to win for their country. So leave them alone, the underaged player should be excused, she has earned the right. Enough sour grapes from people trying to tarnish Team Canadas moment. I am very disappointed with the people that brought this party to the attention of the whole world. Try instead to be proud of our representatives and leave the muck out of it.

A 1 week practise before the tournament ?
You aint into the hockey. They played together for 40 games against men to practice. Beer ? We all had a pop after a game, win or lose. I suppose ya just hadda be there. Apologize? I congratulate them. Excuse me, I'll be right back. I need a fresh pop and im outta smokes.
leave them alone they train hard and deserve to enjoy there win.

No apology necessary. The rink was cleared, fans ere gone. Let your hair down, they just became Olympic Champions. It was a private party. Live a little Canada.

Great steroid books I?ve never read - and neither have you
Yesterday I happened to re-read an article by Chris Street, a former editor for some of the Weider magazines (Flex, etc…). The article was, essentially, a chapter of his book…which was never published. Therefore, it was actually a manuscript, I suppose. But the reality, is that an unpublished book is just a word.doc - nothing [...]

NEW ORLEANS — In the absence of information and outside assistance, groups of rich and poor banded together in the French Quarter, forming "tribes" and dividing up the labor.
While mold and contagion grew in the muck that engulfed most of the city, something else sprouted in this most decadent of American neighborhoods — humanity.
"Some people became animals," Vasilioas Tryphonas said Sunday morning as he sipped a hot beer in Johnny White's Sports Bar on Bourbon Street. "We became more civilized."
While hundreds of thousands fled the below-sea-level city before the storm, many refused to leave the Vieux Carre, or old quarter. Built on some of the highest ground around and equipped with underground power lines, residents considered it about the safest place to be.
Katrina blew off roof slates and knocked down some already-unstable buildings but otherwise left the 18th and 19th century homes with their trademark iron balconies intact.
But what had at first been a refuge soon became an ornate prison.
Police came through commandeering drivable vehicles and siphoning gas. Officials took over a hotel and ejected the guests.
An officer pumped his shotgun at a group trying to return to their hotel on Chartres Street.
"This is our block," he said, pointing the gun down a side street. "Go that way."
Many in outlying areas consider the Quarter a playground for the rich and complain that the place gets special attention.
Yes, wealthy people feasted on steak and quaffed warm champagne in the days after the storm. But many who stayed behind were the working poor — residents of the cramped spaces above the restaurants and shops.
Tired of waiting for trucks to come with food and water, residents turned to each other.
Johnny White's is famous for never closing, even during a hurricane. Since the storm, it has become more than a bar. Along with the warm beer and shots, the bartenders passed out scrounged military Meals Ready to Eat and bottled water to the people who drive the mule carts, bus the tables and hawk the T-shirts that keep the Quarter's economy humming.
"It's our community center," said Marcie Ramsey, 33, whom Katrina promoted from graveyard shift bartender to acting manager.
For some, the bar has also become a hospital.
Tryphonas, who restores buildings in the Quarter, left the neighborhood briefly Saturday. Someone hit him in the head with a 2-by-4 and stole his last $5.
When Tryphonas showed up at Johnny White's with his left ear split in two, Joseph Bellomy — a customer pressed into service as a bartender — put a wooden spoon between Tryphonas' teeth and used a needle and thread to sew it up. "That's my savior," Tryphonas said, raising his beer in salute to the former Air Force medical assistant.
A few blocks away, a dozen people in three houses got together and divided the labor. One group went to the Mississippi River to haul water, one cooked, one washed the dishes.
"We're the tribe of 12," 76-year-old Carolyn Krack said as she sat on the sidewalk with a cup of coffee, a packet of cigarettes and a box of pralines.
Tribe member Dave Rabalais, a clothing store owner, said he thinks the authorities could restore utilities to the Quarter. But he knows that would only bring "resentment and the riffraff."
"The French Quarter is the blood line of New Orleans," he said. "They can't let anything happen to this."

Former France boss Laurent Blanc is a contender to replace Zdenek Zeman at Roma should the latter be sacked.
The likes of Marco Giampaolo, Alberto Malesani, Christian Panucci, Carlos Zago and Alberto De Rossi were all immediately paired with the job.
However, reports on Tuesday are suggesting that the 47-year-old Blanc is a possible target for the Giallorossi.
Blanc, who has a playing past with Napoli and Inter, bossed Bordeaux for three years before he became the French Coach in 2010. He stepped down from that post after Euro 2012.
