Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
26 Nov 2011 13:43 GMT | Business & Economy, Armenia, Hungary, Russia
From periphery to the core, the eurozone fallout is spreading.
Hungary looks for more help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU), as its debt sinks towards junk status.
The central European country is not a member of the eurozone, but its currency has fallen to a record low against the euro, resulting in soaring debt repayment costs for both the government and the public.
We also take a look at Armenia. It is a big exporter to Europe, but also to Russia, so it is getting hit by a double downturn without being part of the crisis area.
To dissect some different angles of the eurozone crisis, which have not necessarily been explored, we are joined by Alexander Currie, an expert on the legal implications of the current bailouts and the idea of a country leaving the eurozone; and Stephen King, HSBC's chief economist.
Counting the Cost can be seen each week at the following times GMT: Friday: 2230; Saturday: 0930; Sunday: 0330; Monday: 1630.

Jan is very great hospitality and personality.
The is very clean, comfortable, nice location.
Jan does not show so much pictures on airbnb but the room was much much better than I expect seriously.
The design of apartment also is very interesting one.
I know he likes design, and art and music as well.
I and husband already start to think when we visit back to his place !
Jan was a terrific host who personally welcomed me and gave me the grand tour of this delightful beach condo! He made sure I knew where everything was that I might need, how stuff worked, where the pool/spa/fitness room/bicycles were located, where the trash went, and how the washer/dryer worked. This was a "working vacation" for me so he made sure I knew how to access the WiFi and use the printer.
Minor issues were handled immediately and graciously, he answered all of my questions about restaurants, the amenities in the complex, and places to visit.
Verten var imøtekommende og hyggelig og ga oss all informasjon vi trengte på en effektiv måte. I tillegg fikk vi skriftlig informasjon og omvisning på området.
The reservation was canceled 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
This is a beautiful, cozy condo at the beach, as advertised! There were plenty of towels, pillows, blankets and everything else needed. The kitchen was also nicely stocked for cooking. I would love to stay here again!
Jan was very pleasant and informative. I found this to be a clean & nice well-equipped condo. Fully complete kitchen, good bathroom and shower, and comfortable bed. You can hear the ocean waves from the condo. Although there's a condo above and on one side, it was very quiet and peaceful.
It does have light beige carpeting so slippers or socks are appropriate. I would stay there again and recommend it.
We spent a week there and it was the perfect finish of our vacation. The condo was very comfortable, clean and really near to the beach. It was also nice to swim in the heated pool. We met Jan when we arrived and he showed us around the condo and its facilities. During our stay he was always very helpful with any question/problem we had. I would strongly recommand this place!

I think that the library has a minor bug when running 2 control points on the same machine. Starting up the second one triggers a biding exception and a couple of null pointer exceptions.
The binding exception arises from trying to get a free SSDP socket; as there is already a control point running the first SSDP socket is taken. This is all good and I think that the expected behavior. However, the controlpoint class relies in that this exception is catched at the right level and converted to a boolean so that it can test for the next free socket.
The Exception is caught too soon and although it does convert it to a boolean the callee function does not return that type. The location where the exception stack is stopped from going up is in HTTPUSocket::open(String, int)
the code that I propose modifying is:
public boolean open(String bindAddr, int bindPort)
Throws Exception
try {
InetSocketAddress bindSock = new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getByName(bindAddr), bindPort);
ssdpUniSock = new DatagramSocket(bindSock);
catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception(e.getCause());
and fixing the constructor to pass on the exception. I've tested it and it seems to work.
hope this helps.

Glenn Greenwald Calls Instapundit A Faggot
No, I'm not kidding. Cut through the torturous verbosity of Greewaldese -- which is similar to English, just not as vital or vigorous -- and you basically have Greenwald calling Reynolds a queer.
As he calls most men on the right. Some named -- Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hansen, Joe Lieberman -- and the rest implied.
I know what everyone's thinking. Reynolds and Althouse, who of course joins in, strain mightily not to think it, and by and large they succeed.
Because they don't think that way. Or would like not to, anyway.
Althouse gamely attempts to translate Greenwaldese to English. She discovers a Third Dynasty cartouche allowing her to successfully translate some of the heiroglyphics--
There are few things more disorienting than listening to Rush Limbaugh declare himself the icon of machismo and masculinity and mock others as "wimps." And if you look at those who have this obsession -- the Chris Matthews and Glenn Reynolds and Jonah Goldbergs and Victor Davis Hansons -- what one finds in almost every case is that those who want to convert our political process and especially our national policies into a means of proving one's "traditional masculine virtues" -- the physically courageous warriors unbound by effete conventions -- themselves could not be further removed from those attributes, and have lives which are entirely devoid of such "virtues."
Althouse wonders (but not in the obvious context),
Do women not exist in Glenn G's world?
Must... resist... the low road.
Eh, what the hell. Dance with the girl that brung ya and all that. Since it's the low road that Greenwald himself stamps down every day, here it is:
I really think that questioning others' masculinity is a game probably better left to people who haven't had more cock in and out of them than a Tyson Chicken regional distribution center.
I'm sorry, was that not turgid enough for Greenwald? Let me try to translate that for Gleen in his native tongue:
This dynamic of a decidedly effeminate man accusing his rivals of being insufficiently manly, and indeed homoerotically longing to be dominated by men with such virtues, is depressingly pervasive, yet incomparably significant.
Not that I'm saying homosexuality is incompatible with masculinity, of course. Consenting biweekly to having one's duodenum battered with the manic hydraulic fury of a tricked-out V-12 jackhammer manned by an epileptic Con-Ed worker with an ancestral oath of vengeance against asphalt would, I think, tend to butch one up, at least as regards one's pain threshold.
But let's break down Greenwald:
1: Praising masculine virtues and denigrating the female virtues is a singular element of fascism;
2: My political opponents are mincing fairyboys and you shouldn't believe what they write because they're sissified shemales who lust for the protective embrace of big, strong arms to wrap around them and hold them tight.
Let us combine these two:
3: Glenn Greenwald is a closet fascist, like his heroes before him, such as, oh let's just throw out a name here, Roy Cohn.
Integrity is not the same as courage or masculinity of course, but there is some correlation between the virtues.
Glenn Greenwald -- who girlishly posted mash-notes to himself under sockpuppet psuedonyms, lacking the balls to write his self-puffery under his own name, and then, get this, claimed innocence by blaming the posts on his live-in boyfriend/cabana boy -- really ought to be "living quietly" about such issues, as Rick Kaplan suggested of Dan "Memogate" Rather.
Is Instapundit A Homo? Well, I think I met him three times or something, and he never tried to pork me. Given the fact I'm 180 pounds of rompin'-stompin' Clydesdale-clompin' 180 proof sex, I'd say he successfully passed that test.

Cinemax's edge-of-your-seat drama "Banshee" received its Season 2 pickup last week, and today, there's another treat for fans.
AccessHollywood.com is exclusively revealing these amazing portraits of the cast, shot by Gregory Shummon.
(Click HERE to see the full gallery of photos!)
Among the shots in the set is one of Ivana Milicevic and Rus Blackwell, who play Carrie and Gordon Hopewell, a couple trying to make their marriage work after the new sheriff – Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) – heads to town and creates ripples.
In another photo, Antony (who plays Lucas) and Frankie Faison (who plays ex-boxer Sugar Bates) have a little fun sparring.
Lili Simmons, who plays the Amish girl with a wild streak – Rebecca Bowman – poses with Ulrich Thomsen, who plays her uncle — businessman (cough, cough) Kai Proctor.
And last but not least is Sheriff Hood's crew of deputies — Demetrius Grosse, who plays Emmett Yawners; Trieste Kelly Dunn, who plays Siobhan Kelly, and Matt Servitto who plays Brock Lotus.
An all-new episode of "Banshee" airs Friday at 10 PM on Cinemax.

Hey Silver,it is possible to do bullet wounds in the models?
Like Max Payne 3.
Dynamic bullet wounds like MP3 are completely impossible, sorry.
man i´ve got a problem in the chapter that is before entering vinnie´s used parking lot, after i kill all the enemies that are in front of the building, the game gets stuck in there.
This is not a request, but is multiplayer possible to pull off like in Multi Theft Auto?
This has been answered before.
Exactly, it's completely impossible sadly.
Silver this mod deserves a 10/10, excellent work, keep it up, Max Payne would be proud of you.
I would say that the current average of 9 is best. Payne Effects 3 was slightly less ambitious, but due to the fact it didn't completely overhaul the game it was not plaugued by as many issues.
Yeah, i agree
Okay, I've found something weird. In Part 3 - Chapter 2 "On a Crash Course", I happened to use a "Last Stand" to keep on going. What's funny is that when I got back on my feet, all the weapons I had disappeared ( guess it's a bug or that's how it works, really dunno ), but what's weird is that i had a 608 Bull with eight bullets in it. Dunno what the hell is happening, if it's just me or that's how the mod is made, but Silver, care to explain? I'm confused as hell right now.
Never happened to me nor to the betatesters, you get everything back if you survive.
Is your pc powerful? What are your pc specs? How well it plays MP2? Do you know your average framerate? Do you see the bullettrails even without bullettime? How often?
Please try to answer each of these questions, thanks.
It only happens on this chapter, not on others, so honestly, it's not an issue for me. The only thing I want answers for is the 608 Bull. Is it only me, or does everyone else get this gun?
Well it's caused by the low framerate I assume then, it's the cause of almost every serious bug. Anyway, yes while in Last Stand you temporarly have a 608Bull completely disguised as the 38 Revolver, it's part of how the Last Stand system works.
I get it now. It's so you can achieve a kill in last stand with 1 bullet, since the 38 Revolver is quite weak in terms of damage. Thanks Silver!
Highest Rated (7 agree) 8/10
I'm surprised at the things you were able to do with the Original Engine, and how you were able to get a functioning bullet time system and gun handling system like that of Max Payne 3. I like the little things in the mod, like how you can drink bottles of Kong Scotch and have that 'drunk' effect. Also how Max has periodical flashbacks in certain situations. The "Dead man Walking" feels just like Arcade mode in MP3, and that you took bits from other mods you made like Payne Effects 3 and Max Payne…

5 Makeshift Team Awards For 2013 Kansas City Royals
5 Makeshift Team Awards for 2013 Kansas City Royals
The 2013 season for the Kansas City Royals was a roller coaster of optimism and disappointment, success and failure, hopes found and dreams dashed. As Royals fans sit back and relax for the first time since March, it will be tough to watch the postseason without thinking about what could have been. Eventually, when the bitterness of defeat wears off, they will finally get to sit back and appreciate the significance of what 2013 brought to KC and its fans. Fans can also embrace the fact that the best for this team is yet to come.
The Royals reached a multitude of impressive milestones this season and brought a stagnant fan base alive with new hope. The team's management finally decided to pay up and traded for two legit starters to bolster the Royals' rotation and give them their first real chance at success in recent history. Outstanding defense at almost every position on the field, kept games close and avoided giving the opposition free opportunities. A combination of young talent and veteran support on the offensive side of the ball struggled at times, but came through in a bevy of important, clutch moments to keep the team competitive until the last week of the schedule.
This slideshow could be called "5 Most Valuable Royals of 2013", but it seems redundant to name five MVPs. Everyone on this list played an integral part in making the Royals successful for the first time in more than two decades. Because of their unique roles, it's only right that they each earn their own unique (albeit fictional) award.
Offensive MVP -- Eric Hosmer
While Billy Butler and others led the offense in years past, Eric Hosmer is now the undisputed offensive MVP. Hosmer leads the team in batting average, hits, slugging percentage, OPS, total bases and doubles, and ranks in the top three for runs scored, RBI, homers and walks. According to other Royals, Hosmer is a favorite in the clubhouse, and the ability he's shown to bounce back after struggling in 2012 is remarkable. Many players his age slump after a strong first season, but very few return to their prior success so quickly. Hosmer stayed calm and, thanks to help from Hall of Fame third baseman George Brett and new hitting coach Pedro Grifol, fixed the broken variables in his swing and drove the bus for KC all year long.
Defensive MVP -- Alcides Escobar
While all of the attention goes to the young hitters and the upgraded starting five, the Royals' biggest strength in 2013 was actually their defense. Although nearly every position provided solid defense this year, Alcides Escobar stands out as a natural-born infielder. 13 errors would usually disqualify a player from any defensive renown, but if there was a statistic for most incredible plays on defense, Escobar may lead MLB, let alone the Royals. With a powerful arm and jaw-dropping range, Alcides is among the league's best defensive shortstops. Thanks to a long contract, fans can look forward to seeing Escobar's sterling defensive play through 2017 at least.
Reliever of the Year -- Greg Holland
In 2013, Greg Holland made his mark on the franchise this year by beating Jeff Montgomery's team record for saves. After losing Joakim Soria just years ago, fans surely wondered when they would see such an awesome talent at closer. Luckily for them, Holland stepped in and quickly began to dominate. His 47 saves were second in the league behind only Jim Johnson 's 50. With an inordinate amount of 1-run games this year, Holland's influence on the Royals' newly-found success is even more significant that usual. Without Holland, many of the season's most memorable moments could have never happened.
Unofficial Team Captain -- Salvador Perez
This promising young catcher is the heart and soul of the Royals. Salvador Perez gives KC remarkable defense at the most defensive position on the field. His great stopping ability and strong arm make him a front-runner in this year's battle for the Gold Glove award, but he doesn't stop there. Perez is second among the team in batting average (.292) and slugging percentage (.433), providing consistent pop in the middle of KC's lineup. More importantly perhaps is the impact Perez makes on the pitching staff. Every pitcher on the roster appreciates his ability to call a game better than any catcher his age.
Team Cy Young Winner -- James Shields
Hope was born anew this year in Kansas City with the acquisition of James Shields and fellow veteran pitchers Ervin Santana and Jeremy Guthrie. The presence of three successful starters in the rotation fundamentally changed everything for the Royals this year. None of the other impressive performances would mean anything without good pitching. Shields earned his 100th career win and put up a 3.15 ERA while leading the rotation in innings pitched and strikeouts. Royals fans will enjoy one more year with Shields as their ace, then hope for the franchise to give him a legitimate offer when he enters free agency the following year.

IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys appear to be a franchise with stability, given the firing of seven head coaches on Black Monday in the NFL.
Coach Jason Garrett didn't want to talk about potential staff changes, but when pressed about defensive coordinator Rob Ryan he didn't sound like a man willing to hand out pink slips.
"We're not going to get into staff conversations right now," Garrett said Monday. "I have a lot of confidence in Rob Ryan. There's no question about that."
Ryan's defense missed five starters and two backups. His best defensive player, outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware, played basically with one arm in the last two games. His starting safety, Gerald Sensabaugh, played with a bad hip.
Few players are healthy late in the season, but not having at least seven main players will hurt a defense.
The Cowboys defense finished the 2012 season 19th overall, 22nd against the run and 19th against the pass.
Turnovers, an area of discussion this season at Valley Ranch, were rare. The Cowboys snagged seven interceptions, tied for the lowest in the league with Kansas City. The Cowboys also recovered nine fumbles.
Yet Ryan mixed and matched his personnel because of injuries. He moved cornerback Brandon Carr to safety in some packages. He had Mike Jenkins playing more slot corner, a spot he never worked at before. At one point in Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington, Ryan moved Brady Poppinga to outside linebacker.
Defensive end Sean Lissemore moved to nose tackle with starter Jay Ratliff (sports hernia surgery) and backup Josh Brent (suspended list) out for the season.
The secondary had numerous new faces, ranging from Eric Frampton, Michael Coe, Charlie Peprah and Sterling Moore. These players weren't with the team in training camp.
In the last two months of the season, the Cowboys signed eight defensive players to the active roster.
"I thought Rob did a really good job," Garrett said. "I stood up here a number of times and said you don't want to talk about injuries and we're not talking about them now but in answering your question I'm going to say that it was a real challenge for (Ryan). If you think about the number of guys we lost on defense, starting, marquee players who are just simply out, and the other guys who are battling through injuries and the challenges he had bringing guys from the practice squad up, from off the street and on our team and literally playing them two days later.
"That happened a number of different times and I thought he did a really good job managing that situation. I thought our defensive staff did a good job managing that situation, getting these guys ready to play in a shorter period of time against some competitive opponents. I thought they handled that situation well. We became more decimated as the year went on. We had to make adjustments in our schemes to try to fit to what these guys are capable of doing and it was challenging. There's no question about it, but he never blinked. He understood what we had and tried his best to put the best guys out there that he could."

We don't talk much about sin these days. The word sin is rarely used in public discourse outside the church, and even some churches don't talk about it. Yet, sin is a reality even if we don't talk about it. And God's word has a lot to say about sin. Sin is when we do wrong, when we break God's commands, when we put our will before God's will. All of us have sinned, but God doesn't want us to sin. He wants us to live godly lives, not sinful lives. To motivate us to avoid sin I want to describe four characteristics of sin.
Sin is delightful. Hebrews 11.25 speaks of "the fleeting pleasures of sin." Sin is pleasurable. There is no way around this, but the pleasures of sin are short-lived and followed by grave consequences. Sin is fun and pleasurable. If it weren't, then no one would be sinning. That's what makes sin so enticing and why it is so hard to resist at times. Now it's important to realize that fun itself is not sin, but sin is often fun. Having a good time and enjoying yourself is not sinful. There is joy in the Lord. Sin though appeals to the pleasures of our flesh. If you have sex outside of marriage, you're going to get pleasure but it's still wrong in God's sight. If you go get drunk tonight, you're going to feel good, but God will not be pleased and you probably won't feel very good in the morning.
Sin is deceitful. Hebrews 3.13 says, "Encourage one another daily…so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Sin is deceitful and it hardens our hearts. It tricks us. It's pleasurable, but it also has consequences. But we don't think about those. We think we are getting away with sin and simply having a good time. But we're not. There are consequences to sin. The old saying goes, "Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay." Sin is a trap. It is like a spider's web: a spider's web shines in the sunlight and attracts insects but then they get stuck and die. Sin is like a fishing lure: we use baits that are colorful or that move a lot and so attract the fish, but then the bait hooks them. Sin is like a mouse trap: the cheese draws the mice, and then the trap kills them. Don't be a fool. Sin is deceitful.
Sin is addictive. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin" (John 8.34). Some say, "I'm just going to sin this one time." It's not that simple. The more you sin the more you want to sin. Sin is addictive. We think about drugs and gambling being addictive, but sin in general is addictive. That's why we should avoid sin altogether. When it comes to sin, the Bible regularly tells us to flee. For instance, 1 Corinthians 6.18 says, "Flee from sexual immorality" (see also 1 Cor 10.14; 1 Tim 6.11; 2 Tim 2.22). Like Joseph who was tempted by Potiphar's wife, we need to flee from sin and temptation. Instead of flirting with sin, we need to flee from it. When you sin, your conscience bothers you and you feel bad. But the more you do wrong the less your conscience bothers you and so you think it's ok. You begin to justify your sinful conduct. Yet, God still thinks it's wrong. Just because you don't feel that it's wrong doesn't mean it's not wrong. You can harden your conscience and silence the voice of conviction by repeated sin.
Sin is deadly. Romans 6.23 states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Sin has consequences in this life but also in the life to come. The ultimate consequence of sin is death, not just physical death but eternal death—eternal separation from God in hell. The sobering truth is that if we continue in our sin and don't repent we will go to hell (see Prov 14.12). God will not gloss over our sinful rebellion. To die in an unrepentant, sinful state is to die lost and without hope. We treat sin so lightly. Would you pick up a rattlesnake and play with it? Would you grab a lion's tail and pull it? Would you swim in the ocean with a Great White shark? Then why do we trifle with sin? It kills. It destroys. Let's repent of our sin and seek God's forgiveness. Though God hates sin, he loves us and wants to forgive us. He is incredibly merciful and promises to forgive us of our sin if we confess it and renounce it (see Prov 28.13; 1 John 1.9).

- I'll add another one: The binocular thread came at a perfect time for me, and I just made a purchase. I spent two long sessions at a Scope City store in Sherman Oaks, California, where the knowledgeable folks were big on the Olympus Magellan EXWP roof prism models, which are in my $300 price range. The main comparison we made was with the Pentax DCF SP, which are in the $600 range, and I couldn't see any difference in the limited testing we did looking at palm fruits and fake roof owls. On the second trip I took in my Nikon Naturalist IV's and there I could see a huge difference. They didn't have the Nikon Monarchs, which I would have liked to compare. Anyway I bought the 10x42 model for $289 and I'm very pleased. And I added a couple of life birds to my paltry life list: Black Phoebe and California Towhee.Peace,Craig MessermanMissoulaOn Jul 5, 2006, at 2:18 PM, Barbara Quinlan wrote:

Tag Team Turmoil: 3MB vs. Tensai and Brodus Clay vs. The Usos vs. 3MB vs. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil vs. Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro
We go to the ring and Justin Roberts announces the rules. The winners will face The Shield later on tonight. Out first comes 3MB. It will be Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater in the match. The next team to start the match is Tensai and Brodus Clay. Here they come without Cameron and Naomi.
Clay and Slater go at it to start the match. Tensai comes in and then Drew tags in. Drew ends up leaping over the top rope and taking out Tensai on the floor. Drew brings it back in the ring but Tensai gets the upperhand and a 2 count. More back and forth.

Chapter One What Is Legal Interpretation?
On the Concept of Interpretation in Law
"Interpretation" in law has different meanings. Indeed, the word "interpretation" itself must be interpreted. I define legal interpretation as follows: Legal interpretation is a rational activity that gives meaning to a legal text. The requirement of rationality is key-a coin toss is not interpretive activity. Interpretation is an intellectual activity, concerned with determining the normative message that arises from the text. What the text is and whether it is valid are questions related to interpretation, but they are distinct from it. I assume the existence of a valid legal text. The question is what meaning to attach to that text. According to my definition, then, interpretation shapes the content of the norm "trapped" inside the text. The text that is the object of interpretation may be general (as in a constitution, statute, case law, or custom) or individual (as in a contract or will). It may be written (as in a written constitution or judicial opinion) or oral (as in an oral will or a contract implied-in-fact). The word "text" is not limited to a written text. For purposes of interpretation, any behavior that creates alegal norm is a "text."
Constrictive Definitions of Legal Interpretation
The definition of legal interpretation at the core of this book is not the only possible definition. Some theorists define interpretation more narrowly, others, more broadly. Under a narrower or constrictive definition, there is room for interpretation only in places where the text is unclear, such that there are differences of opinion over it. Similarly, a constrictive definition might restrict legal interpretation to finding the meaning that realizes the intent of the legal text's author. I do not adopt these definitions. According to my theory, every legal text requires interpretation. The plainness of a text does not obviate the need for interpretation, because such plainness is itself a result of interpretation. Even a text whose meaning is undisputed requires interpretation, for the absence of dispute is a product of interpretation. Realizing the intent of the author is the goal of one kind of system of interpretation (subjective interpretation). Interpretation, however, can also give the legal text a meaning that actualizes objective standards (objective interpretation). The definition of interpretation (in contrast to systems of interpretation within that definition) cannot be reduced to merely giving meaning that realizes authorial intent.
Expansive Definitions of Legal Interpretation
Legal interpretation may also be conceptualized more expansively than my definition permits. For example, Dworkin defines law itself as an interpretive process:
Legal practice is an exercise in interpretation not just when lawyers interpret documents or statutes but also generally. Propositions of law are not simply descriptive of legal history, in a straightforward way, nor are they simply evaluative in some way divorced from legal history. They are interpretive of legal history, which combines elements of both description and evaluation, but is different from both.
While Dworkin's approach has been the subject of criticism, an evaluation of his definition and the critique of it are beyond the scope of this book. Dworkin's definition lies at the foundation of his philosophic project, and I respect it. My definition, however, is narrower. It lies at the foundation of a different project, whose concern is giving meaning to a legal text. The two projects are distinct but interrelated. From Dworkin's definition of interpretation, one can derive a system of understanding a legal text such as a constitution or statute. In that sense, Dworkin's (expansive) theory of interpretation becomes one of a variety of systems of interpretation (as defined above).
The Limits of Interpretation in Law
My definition of interpretation raises a number of questions of classification. The answers to these questions determine if the standards for interpreting a text can apply to additional legal activities. First, does resolving (antinomic) contradictions in a given legal text constitute interpretive activity? In my view, the answer to that question is yes. Imparting meaning to a given text requires resolving internal contradictions within the text itself. Second, does resolving contradiction between different legal texts on the same normative plane (two statutes, two contracts, two wills), or on different normative planes (constitution and statute, statute and contract, contract and will), constitute interpretive activity? Of course, giving meaning to each of those texts constitutes interpretive activity, but does resolving the contradiction-based on the meaning given-constitute an inherently interpretive activity? The question has no clear answer, other than saying that it depends on the tradition of a given legal system. In my view, however-and depending on the particularities of the legal traditions in question-resolving contradiction between norms arising from different texts is a non-interpretive activity. True, in resolving contradictions between different texts, we give meaning to a legal system. But this giving of meaning constitutes interpretive activity only in Dworkin's broad sense. It does not constitute interpretation in the sense I give to the word. For example, the rule of constitutional supremacy-that a statute which violates a constitutional provision is invalid-is a rule that resolves contradictions, but it is not a rule of interpretation. Third, does filling in a lacuna or gap in a legal text constitute interpretive activity? The German legal tradition distinguishes between ordinary interpretation (einfache Auslegung) and supplementary interpretation (ergänzende Auslegung). Indeed, the answer to this (third) question also depends on the legal tradition in question. I personally distinguish between interpretation in the narrow sense-the interpretation that gives meaning to a legal text-and interpretation in the broad sense, which includes filling gaps in an incomplete text. The justification in calling the second activity interpretive-if only in the broad sense-stems from the fact that it does ultimately give meaning to a text, determining the normative message arising from it. Referring to the addition of an implied term to a contract, Hoffman writes: "It may seem odd to speak of interpretation when, by definition, the term has not been expressed in words, but the only difference is that when we imply a term, we are engaged in interpreting the meaning of the contract as a whole." For this reason, I include correcting the language of the text, as in fixing a mistake, as part of interpretation in the broad sense.
Why do I insist on distinguishing between interpretation in its broad and narrow sense? The standards governing these two activities are different. Two separate and distinct systems govern the interpretation of an existing text and the completion of an incomplete text. Sometimes, a judge is allowed to interpret a text but is not allowed to fill a gap in it, as in the case of a criminal statute. Of course, so long as we remain sensitive to the distinctions I note, there is nothing wrong with generally referring to both kinds of activities as interpretive. The point is to avoid loading interpretation (in the narrow sense) with a burden it cannot bear. As we shall see, I take the limits of interpretation (in the narrow sense) to be the limits of language. An attempt to give the text a meaning that its language cannot bear is a non-interpretive project. Trying to cram that project into interpretation in its narrow sense distorts interpretation and undermines the legitimacy of judicial activity.
Legal Meaning and Semantic Meaning
Interpretation in law is a rational process by which we understand a text. Through interpretation, we come to know the normative message of a text. It is a process that "extracts" the legal meaning of the text from its semantic meaning. Interpreters translate the "human" language into "legal" language. They turn "static law" into "dynamic law." They carry out the legal norm in practice. Legal interpretation turns a semantic "text" into a legal norm-hence the distinction between the semantic meaning of a text and its legal (or normative) meaning. The semantic meaning of a text is the totality of all meanings that may be attached to the language of the text, in the ideal lexicon of those who speak the language in question (the public language) or in the private lexicon of the text's author (the private code). To interpret a text is to choose its legal meaning from among a number of semantic possibilities-to decide which of the text's semantic meanings constitutes its proper legal meaning. The semantic meaning of the text determines its semantic potential or semantic range of activity (the Bedeutungsspielraum). The legal meaning carries this potential into practice. Usually, a text has a single, unique semantic meaning in the context of a given event, and that meaning also serves as the text's legal meaning. In these typical cases, there is complete identity between the text's semantic and legal meanings. All systems of interpretation will arrive at the same meaning of the text. Because language can be vague and ambiguous, however, a text sometimes has a number of semantic meanings in the context of a given event. Only one of these semantic meanings can serve as the text's legal meaning. The rules of interpretation become critical in these "hard" cases.
Interpretation and Semantics
Semantics determines the totality of meanings that a text may have in its language (public and private) for various potential fact patterns. We comprehend this totality through language. We understand the text because the language in which it was created is a language we know. Indeed, the linguist inquires into what meanings the text can "tolerate" in its language, in light of the totality of potential contexts. In principle, there is no difference between determining the semantic meaning of a legal text and determining the semantic meaning of any other (nonlegal) text. Linguists examine the range of semantic possibilities for texts. They need to know the rules of grammar and syntax customary in that language. They consult the canons, based in logic, which help them understand the language.
Legal interpreters build on the work of the linguists who determine linguistic range. Interpreters translate the language into law by pinpointing or extricating a single, unique legal meaning. We may therefore conclude that every interpreter of law is also a linguist, but that not every linguist is an interpreter of law. I took this position in one case when I noted that interpretation is more than mere linguistics, but rather requires us to find the normative message arising from the text. The linguist ascertains the meaning that the text is capable of bearing, in light of the range of possible contexts. In doing so, he or she sets the boundaries of interpretation. The legal interpreter determines the meaning that the text must bear, in the context relevant to legal interpretation. Many rules of interpretation are simply linguistic rules, designed to ascertain the (linguistic) meaning that may be given to the text. They in no way help to determine the text's legal meaning. Thus, for example, the interpretive principle that to express or include one thing implies the exclusion of the other (expressio unius est exclusio alterius) is merely a linguistic rule. It teaches us that from the "yes" of the text, we can infer the "no" of another matter. This is a possible, but not a necessary, linguistic inference. It does not establish an "interpretive" principle. It establishes a "linguistic" principle.
Interpretation, Systems of Interpretation, and Principles of Interpretation in Law
The systems of interpretation in law determine the standards by which interpreters extract the legal meaning of a text from a variety of semantic meanings. Principles of interpretation, which are simply principles of "extraction" or "extrication," thus derive from systems of interpretation. Principles of interpretation are partly principles of language that establish the range of semantic possibilities. They are also-and this is important for our purposes-principles that govern how to determine a text's legal meaning. Interpretation in law determines the meaning of a legal text, and that meaning varies according to the system of interpretation. A system of interpretation based on authorial intent produces a different meaning than a system that asks how a reasonable reader would understand the text. Each system of interpretation produces its own principles of interpretation. These principles are-in the words of Professor Hart-secondary rules. As secondary rules, they determine the scope or range of deployment of the norm extracted from the (primary) text. Note that we have not yet taken a position on the question of how to determine the text's meaning. That question depends on the system of interpretation and the principles of interpretation derived therefrom. The system of interpretation may vary from time to time and from legal system to legal system. We have so far ascertained only the definition of interpretation. We have not yet addressed what the proper system of interpretation is, and what principles of interpretation derive from it. For example, I do not define interpretation as an inquiry into the intent of the text's author. That inquiry constitutes a specific system of interpretation, one way of extracting the legal meaning from its textual receptacle, but it does not define interpretation itself. We must distinguish between the concept of interpretation, on the one hand, and systems of interpretation, including the principles that derive from them, on the other. There is only one definition of interpretation-rationally giving meaning to a text-while there are many different systems of interpretation and derivative principles.
"True" Interpretation and "Proper" Interpretation
Many jurists embark on a futile search to discover what the legal meaning of a text "truly" is. A text has no "true" meaning. We have no ability to compare the meaning of a text before and after its interpretation by focusing on its "true" meaning. All understanding results from interpretation, because we can access a text only after it has been interpreted. There is no pre-exegetic understanding. At best, we can compare different interpretations of a given text. The most to which we can aspire is the "proper" meaning-not the "true" meaning. I therefore do not contend that purposive interpretation is the true interpretation. My claim is that among the various systems of interpretation in a democracy, purposive interpretation is the best. In no way do I negate the interpretive character of the other systems of interpretation. I claim that there is no "true" meaning, but, unlike Fish, I do not contend that there is no text. Nor do I claim that the text does not determine the boundaries of its interpretation. Quite the opposite: My claim is that the limits of the text set the limits of interpretation. Within the limits of a text, the normative message that arises is ascertained through interpretation of the text, which cannot be proven "true" or "false."

i woke up at 5 am and found myself wrapped in christmas lights that were plugged into the wall.
I love my penis, it thinks for me sometimes
The frequency that you give me blue balls couldn't be healthy.
Oh my god it's like Minesweeper. I can tell there's sex in three of the four rooms, but which one is the safe one?
i just opened a bottle of wine with my dads power tools
It's a gateway drink.... Starts with wine... Then I wake up in my car with mascara on my arms covered in french fries...
I called my dad at 3 a.m. because I thought he'd be proud that I didnt get arrested. Daddys little girl at her finest...
He kept calling my vagina a magic clam, and it was speaking to him, telling him to feed it his penis. I played along.
If a man doesnt have the ability to fuck you well on a small climbing wall, I don't think he deserves you.
He did a 4 wheel burnout and yelled at the cops "Sorry! It's for a school project!". HOW does he think of this shit?
I mean it was his birthday. How was I supposed to tell him he could not wear a sombrero while we bang.
So I had sex in a bulldozer lastnight now that's definitely a first...
The party was Hollywood themed and I won an oscar for "finest ass in a leading role"

An early jazz singer with a sweet voice, Mildred Bailey balanced a good deal of popular success with a hot jazz-slanted career that saw her billed as Mrs. Swing (her husband, Red Norvo, was Mr. Swing). Born Mildred Rinker in Washington state in 1907, Bailey began performing at an early age, playing piano and singing in movie theaters during the early '20s. By 1925, she was the headlining act at a club in Hollywood, doing a mixture of pop, early jazz tunes, and vaudeville standards. Influenced by...Komplette Biografie
