Rule of law implies that every citizen is subject to the law, including law makers themselves. In this sense, it stands in contrast to an autocracy, dictatorship, or oligarchy where the rulers are held above the law. Lack of the rule of law can be found in both democracies and dictatorships, for example because of neglect or ignorance of the law, and the rule of law is more apt to decay if a government has insufficient corrective mechanisms for restoring it.

Here is an article:
What a difference a week makes for President Obama, as rising gas prices put more and more pressure on his administration.
Last Tuesday at a news conference, the president insisted to Fox News that it was fallacy to think his team was in favor of higher gas prices to wean Americans off fossil fuels.
"You think the president of the United States going into reelection wants gas prices to go up higher?" the president asked. "Is that -- is there anybody here who thinks that makes a lot of sense?"
Fast forward to this week, when the president's Energy Secretary Steven Chu acknowledged Tuesday at a Senate hearing that he indeed told the Wall Street Journal in September 2008 that getting U.S. prices up to higher, European-level gas prices would help move Americans to use more renewables.
But with rising gas prices sinking the president's approval rating in some new national polls, Chu says he has had a change of heart.
"Are you saying that you no longer share the view that we need to figure out how to boost gasoline prices in America?" Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked Chu.
"I no longer share that view," the energy secretary said.
"But you did then, but you don't now?" pressed Lee.
Chu noted that he had made the comments before he was in government, just a couple of months before Obama won election and Chu was nominated to his current post.
"When I became secretary of energy I represented the U.S. government and I think that right now in this economic -- very slow return -- that we need to have, these prices well could affect the comeback of our economy and we're very worried about that," said Chu. "And so, of course, we don't want the price of gasoline to go up. We want it to go down."
White House spokesman Jay Carney downplayed the shift and said the president did not tell Chu to clarify. He stressed that since Chu made the comments before he was in the administration, Republicans have taken them out of context to suggest it is administration policy.
"There has been an attempt -- a partisan, largely partisan attempt -- to try to take comments like that and pretend those are policy when in fact the policy reflects the contrary," Carney said.
Although the White House continues to accuse Republican presidential candidates of politicizing the spike in gas prices -- with Newt Gingrich, for example, pushing a plan that he claims will get gas down to $2.50 a gallon -- Democrats are not acknowledging the president himself pounced on high gas prices as a candidate in 2008.
"Exxon's making $40 billion a year, and we're paying $3.50 for gas," Obama said in one TV ad. "I'm Barack Obama. I don't take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won't let them block change anymore."
What has changed since then is gas has steadily climbed to now reach a national average of $3.81, more than 30 cents above where they were when candidate Obama taped that commercial.
While the president has repeatedly defended his record by saying there's "no silver bullet" to fix this problem, the public apparently does not agree, which is fueling the political pressure on the White House.
Besides showing that the president's approval rating has suddenly slid to a low of 41 percent, a new CBS News/New York Times poll found that 54 percent of Americans believe gas prices are something a president can do a lot about.
White House aides, however, can point to positive numbers in the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll.
That poll gives the president a 12-point edge over congressional Republicans, 44 percent to 32 percent, on the question of who people trust more to "make the right decisions to help bring down the price of gasoline." Sixteen percent said neither and 7 percent said they did not know or refused to answer.
Like Chu, however, Carney on Tuesday also had to backpedal from a previous statement. On Monday, the press secretary said Gingrich was "lying" by telling voters he could lower gas prices so easily.
"I said yesterday that anybody who said that would be a liar," Carney said Tuesday. "And I shouldn't have gone into motivations. I should have said anybody who says that doesn't know what he's talking about."
Gingrich aides fired back in a prepared statement that this is proof he's gotten "in the president's head" on this issue, as the presidential candidate continued his assault on the White House energy policy.
"He believes in a Fantasy Land where companies like Solyndra are somehow magically going to solve things," Gingrich said on Fox News. "His answers in two speeches recently was algae. You know, drilling doesn't work, but algae does?"
Senior administration officials fired back that the White House thinks it's sad for the nation that Republicans are mocking renewable fuels, with one of the officials saying it's a modern version of the Flat Earth Society.

Housing in Oakland, while rising, remains cheaper than SF. According to recent numbers, a one-bedroom in the Oakland area averages out to around $1,815 per month, enough to pay rent for TWO years (assuming your rent doesn't get jacked after the first year). If you want to be creative, you could even rent an apartment, buy a used car, and still have money left over for tolls and public transportation when needed. And probably still have money left over.

Buy a block in Cleveland : According to one report, the average home price in Cleveland is around $51,000 meaning you'd have enough to just about buy a house outright. Or, if you're feeling like an investment in The Mistake By The Lake, you could put a down-payment (assuming it's 20 percent) on four houses (maybe five if the houses are listed below average). Then, it's just a matter of renting them out and upgrading and next thing you know you have your own Cleveland compound. LeBron's got nothing on you.

Or, you could throw in the famous "plaid tour," where your led around the parks by a person in a plaid vest that gets you to the front of every line all day. That'll run you between $360 and $500 an hour but, hey, you can afford it! A full 8-hour day for three days during peak season is $12,000, just FYI.

Buy tickets to the Super Bowl: Like rents, tickets to football's biggest game have gotten pricier and pricier. Lucky for you, then, that you're not dropping all that money on rent in SF. Instead, you can spend that money on nosebleed seats at Levi's Stadium for the historic Super Bowl 50. How much will tickets cost? Well, we won't know for a while but we can look to the past for a clue. One report had tickets going for $10,352 each on the secondary market (the most likely place to find a Super Bowl ticket). Given that it's the 50th anniversary of the game and allowing for the Bay Area mark-up, it's not crazy to think $42,000-$45,000 will only get you two to three tickets (two if you want to afford a limo to wait out traffic on 101 leaving the game).

Given that it's the 50th anniversary of the game and allowing for the Bay Area mark-up, it's not crazy to think $42,000-$45,000 will only get you two to three tickets (two if you want to afford a limo to wait out traffic on 101 leaving the game).

All of the sports: So you have a bunch of money and you want to see as much sports as possible? Okay, let's go. A 300-level season ticket for the Giants cost $2,000 (VR Infield); the A's charged $2,050 for plaza infield season tickets; a Warriors season ticket package in the lower half of the 200s was $2,580; the best seats - Club, 50 yard line - for the Raiders cost $1,500; and the cheapest 49ers seats cost $850. That's less than $9,000 for the year (barely: $8,980). So you've got LOTS of money left over after just one year of ALL the sports in the Bay Area. Of course, you'll probably use most of the remaining money to buy PSL for the Giants and 49ers unless you just buy every ticket individually (which wouldn't be that bad). You could easily throw in Stanford and Cal football and hoops and baseball and swimming and even - MAYBE - the San Jose Quakes. (Apparently, San Jose also has a hockey team?)

Looking for a window into the strange world of poisonous and psychoactive plants? Search no further than the Poison Garden in Alnwick, Northumberland, England.
The deadly attraction, situated within the 42-acre Alnwick Gardens, features over 100 plant species of varying degrees of toxicity. While some of these species are uncommon, you might be surprised to learn there are plenty of killer plants in your backyard right now!
Due to the potentially dangerous nature of the plants inside the exhibit, visitors to Alnwick must enter the Poison Garden through an exceptionally intimidating and locked gate:

Jane Percy, the Duchess of Northumberland, was instrumental in the redevelopment of the Alnwick Garden, which boasts a long history dating back to the 18th century, but fell into disrepair in the 1950s. After more than a half-century hiatus, the Alnwick Garden reopened to the public in 2004. Much to the delight of morbid botanists everywhere, the launch of the Poison Garden followed soon after.
"I wondered why so many gardens around the world focused on the healing power of plants rather than their ability to kill," the Duchess explains on the Poison Garden website. "I felt that most children I knew would be more interested in hearing how a plant killed, how long it would take you to die if you ate it and how gruesome and painful the death might be."

It may be a small garden, but the stories behind these otherwise unassuming plants pack quite a punch. Knowledgeable guides lead visitors around the premises, sharing both the mythical folklore and hard science associated with each species.

Because several of the plants on exhibit are especially lethal or outright illegal, the garden require special licensing to grow them. Some plants, like the cannabis seen above, must be confined to cages to limit their contact with visitors.

Although there are many lethal plants thriving behind the guarded gates of the Poison Garden, here's just a few of the most intriguing species you're likely to find there:
Photo: Sarah Murray/Flickr
Castor oil plant (Ricinus communis)
Generally considered to be the most poisonous plant in world, the castor oil plant's raw seeds contain ricin, a highly toxic substance that inhibits the synthesis of protein. Ingesting just four to eight of the seeds can kill a human, but not before he or she suffers through a host of unpleasant symptoms, including but not limited to nausea, seizures, diarrhea, purging and abdominal pain.

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum)
Opium, which has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years, is made by drying and processing the milky latex liquid found within a poppy seed pod. As the root source of many strong narcotics such as morphine, heroin, codeine and more, it's no wonder why the opium poppy is granted a spot in a garden specifically devoted to lethal plants.

Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris)
These hairy plants can be fatal if eaten in large amount, but it rarely comes to that. Due to its strong, bitter taste that produces an immediate burning sensation in the mouth, it doesn't take long for the person ingesting it to spit it out.
Photo: jacinta lluch valero/Flickr
Black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger)
These striking flowers are so potently hallucinogenic that even their smell can produce giddiness. When taken recreationally, they cause intense visual, tactile and auditory hallucinations, as well as a host of uncomfortable side effects including dry mouth, fever, vomiting, dilated pupils, rapid heart rate and delirium. Severe overdoses are characterized by convulsions, hypertension, falling into a coma or even death.

Dark Columbine (Aquilegia atrata)
There are actually no recorded cases of these drooping purple flowers harming anyone, but folklore suggests the plant was used as an abortifacient for women hoping to produce a miscarriage.

Common Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
These flowers may look lovely and benign, but they can actually cause a major heart attack if eaten in large amounts. Luckily, this is rare because the plant also happens to be an emetic, which is a substance that naturally triggers vomiting. If ingested, the poison is usually purged from the digestive system before it can do much damage to the cardiac muscles.

Related content on MNN: ||||| The Alnwick Garden is one of north England's most beautiful attractions, where acres of colorful plants invite visitors to wander through rows of fragrant roses, manicured topiaries and cascading fountains. But within Alnwick's boundaries, kept behind black iron gates, is a place where visitors are explicitly told not to stop and smell the flowers: the Poison Garden, home to 100 infamous killers.
In 1995, Jane Percy became the Duchess of Northumberland, a county in northeastern England that stretches to the border with Scotland, after her husband's brother died unexpectedly. With the title came the Alnwick Castle, the traditional seat of the Duke of Northumberland (it also served as the setting for Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films). After the family took up residence in the castle, Percy's husband asked her to do something with the gardens, which at the time were a disused commercial forestry boasting nothing more than rows and rows of Christmas trees.
"I think he thought, 'That will keep her quiet, she’ll just plant a few roses and that’ll be it,'" the duchess says. But Percy did more than plant a few roses. In 1996, she hired Jacques Wirtz, a landscape architect who has worked with the Tuileries in Paris and the gardens of the French president's residence, to help reimagine the Alnwick Garden. Today, the gardens encompass 14 acres and attract over 600,000 visitors each year, making them one of North England's most popular tourist attractions.
"I realized I could do something really great if I had the right team,"says the duchess. But she knew she needed more than a good team—she needed something to set her project apart from the other gardens that dot the English countryside. "If you’re building something, especially a visitor attraction, it needs to be something really unique," she says. "One of the things I hate in this day and age is the standardization of everything. I thought, 'Let’s try and do something really different.'"
The duchess thought she might want to include an apothecary garden, but a trip to Italy set her on a slightly different course. After visiting the infamous Medici poison garden, the duchess became enthralled with the idea of creating a garden of plants that could kill instead of heal. Another trip—this one to the archeological site of the largest hospital in medieval Scotland, where the duchess learned about soporific sponges soaked in henbane, opium and hemlock used to anesthetize amputees during 15th-century surgeries—reinforced her interest in creating a garden of lethal plants.
"I thought, 'This is a way to interest children,'" she says. "Children don’t care that aspirin comes from a bark of a tree. What’s really interesting is to know how a plant kills you, and how the patient dies, and what you feel like before you die."
So the duchess set about collecting poisonous plants for her envisioned Poison Garden. While selecting the 100 varieties that would eventually take root there, she had only one steadfast requirement: the plants had to tell a good story. This meant that exotic killers like South America's Brugmansia* would mingle with more common poisons, such as laurel hedges.
"What’s extraordinary about the plants is that it’s the most common ones that people don’t know are killers," the duchess says. Visitors are often surprised to learn that the laurel hedge, nearly ubiquitous in English gardens, can be highly toxic. But some visitors have had experience with laurel's sinister side—the duchess has heard a few talk about how, after loading up their cars with pruned laurel leaves to take to the dump, drivers have fallen asleep behind the wheel of their car from the toxic fumes the branches emit.
Because of the plants' dangerous qualities, visitors to the Poison Garden are prohibited from smelling, touching or tasting any of them. Still, even with guidelines in place, visitors can fall victim to the plants. This past summer, seven people reportedly fainted from inhaling toxic fumes while walking through the garden. "People think we're being overdramatic when we talk about [not smelling the plants], but I've seen the health and safety reports," the duchess says.
As part of the Poison Garden's educational mission, the duchess grows a variety of drugs, from cannabis to cocaine (derived from the leaves of the coca plant), which she and garden guides use as a jumping-off point for drug education. "It's a way of educating children without having them realize they're being educated," she says.
Other poisonous plants might be less well-known to visitors, but are no less potent. One of the duchess's favorite plants is Brugmansia, or angel's trumpet, a member of the Solanaceae family (which includes deadly nightshade) that grows in the wild in South America. "It's an amazing aphrodisiac before it kills you," she says, explaining that Victorian ladies would often keep a flower from the plant on their card tables and add small amounts of its pollen to their tea to incite an LSD-like trip. "[Angel's trumpet] is an amazing way to die because it's quite pain-free," the duchess says. "A great killer is usually an incredible aphrodisiac."
Whether a plant kills with pleasure or with pain, visitors can count on walking away from the Poison Garden with an entertaining anecdote. "Most plants that kill are quite interesting," says the duchess.
*Correction: The original sentence confused Brugmansia, which is native to South America, with belladonna, which is native to Europe. |||||
What is a summary? | – When Jane Percy became the Duchess of Northumberland in 1995, she inherited a fancy new title, a castle—the one used as the Hogwarts school in a couple of Harry Potter movies—and acres of disheveled gardens that her husband asked her to tidy up. Percy's interest in poisonous plants had been piqued after visiting the remains of a medieval Scottish hospital, so she set about creating Alnwick Castle's Poison Garden, labeled by Smithsonian as "the world's most dangerous garden." Percy’s driving motivation for her deadly creation? Kids. "I thought, 'This is a way to interest children," she says. "What's really interesting is to know how a plant kills you, and how the patient dies, and what you feel like before you die." Behind locked gates adorned with skulls and crossbones and advertising that reads "These Plants Can Kill" lie the estate's toxic specimens: more than 100 fatal flora, including hemlock, poppies, foxglove, and castor oil, from which deadly ricin is derived. One of Percy's favorite plants: angel's trumpet, "an amazing aphrodisiac before it kills you," she tells Smithsonian. Because of the downright dangerousness of the plants (some of them illegal—cannabis and cocaine are among the varieties the duchess maintains), the garden needs special licensing to grow them, Mother Nature Network reports. Visitors are banned from touching, tasting, or smelling the plants, though even those warnings aren't failproof: Seven people reportedly fainted over the summer after breathing in fumes while walking through the garden.

By. Martin Robinson. PUBLISHED:. 10:33 EST, 12 July 2012. |. UPDATED:. 13:05 EST, 12 July 2012. A teenager who raped a four-year-old girl he was babysitting will return to his old school and share its corridors with his victim's brother. The victim's parents are calling for the 15-year-old sex attacker to be moved to another location after he admitted the crime but avoided jail last week after he blamed his hormones. Her older brother is also due to attend the same school in Cambridgeshire next year and will face bumping into him between lessons. Devastating: The four-year-old girl who was raped by a boy, 14, with her parents. The devastated family, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also live in the same street as the child's attacker. The victim's mum said today: 'I don't want him at the same school as him but I can't move him way from his friends. I just can't do it. 'Believe me I want everyone to know he's there and to write it across the front of the school but I can't.' Another mother, said: 'I can't believe that the person in question has been allowed back into the school. 'As parents we were not told about it, which I am furious about. 'I feel my daughter is at risk. I am so angry and shocked by what's going on. Whoever's decision it was to place the attacker back at the school has a lot to answer for. Hormones: The teenager was not jailed after the judge said online porn was to blame for his problems (posed by model) The culprit, who was a family friend,. was asked to look after the little girl for two hours while her parents. attended their son’s Christmas play. While they were out the babysitter raped her. The. victim, who has since turned five, later told her father she had been. attacked by the teenager who told police he 'lost his mind' because his. 'hormones took over.' Judge Gareth Hawkesworth was slammed for failing to imprison the teen attacker after he admitted the rape in court last week. The. judge instead laid the blame at the hands of 'society and the world' for allowing the teenager to become corrupted by online porn. One parent from the Cambridgeshire school, which cannot be named for legal reasons, said: 'A lot of parents know who he is. 'It makes me worried to think he is among all those young people and looking at people’s daughters. School parent. 'He should be moved out of the school and taught somewhere else or at home even. “. The little girl’s parents had trusted the quiet but 'normal kid' to watch her for a couple of hours in return for £10 pocket money. But when they got home the victim’s Dad was getting her ready for bed when she revealed the babysitter had played a game, promising to reward her with chocolates. It then came out he had abused her. The teenager admitted the offence when he was later confronted by the victim’s family. 'I should want to rip this boy's head. off - but I think I let my daughter down,' the guilt-ridden father said last week. 'I blame myself because I left her in a room with him and made the. wrong judgment.' 'Our daughter was just four years old and. so small for her age, she was still wearing age two to three clothing. He was a lot bigger than her,' her distressed mother added. No-one at the attacker’s school was prepared to comment on what safety measures would be in place for other pupils. But a spokesman said: 'It would be wholly inappropriate to comment on arrangements for an individual pupil. 'The school’s focus will be on ensuring it continues to meet the educational and well being needs of all pupils.'

Bill Murray is a hilarious misanthrope in comedy-drama ‘St. Vincent’
AT first glance, there was never a more unlikely candidate for canonization than the drunk, disheveled and foul-mouthed Brooklyn misanthrope so winningly played by Bill Murray in the comedy-drama “St. Vincent.’’
Murray’s Vincent has overdrawn the reverse mortgage on his ramshackle house in Sheepshead Bay. He’s so broke that the pregnant Russian prostitute Daka (Naomi Watts) he regularly patronizes — the closest thing he has to a friend — is threatening not to extend any more credit.
His bartender, however, is happy to enable an epic bender that lands Vincent behind the wheel of his convertible — knocking down his fence before staggering inside and ending up unconscious on the kitchen floor of his house. He’s awakened the next morning by new neighbors, whose moving van damages his tree.
Our cynical hero is so desperate for money that he accepts an unlikely job offer from the neighbor — newly single mom Maggie (Melissa McCarthy, toning it way down), who works insane hours as a radiology nurse — to look after her 12-year-old son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher).
The hard-swearing Vincent not only teaches the skinny and shy Oliver how to deal with a bully at his Catholic parochial school with his fists, but also takes him on field trips to Belmont Park (where Vincent actually wins a bet for once) and his favorite bar. The two of them hang out with Daka, as well.
Even before Oliver and his classmates are assigned by the kindly priest (Chris O’Dowd) at school to choose “everyday saints” for a presentation, we see that Vincent has a virtuous side. He takes Oliver to the Staten Island nursing home where his wife, who hasn’t recognized him in years, lives in comfort. Vincent also turns out to be a Vietnam War hero.
The dramatic part of Murray’s role comes when Vincent suffers a stroke and a devastating personal loss, giving the actor another chance to show what a fine straight actor he can be (as he was in the underrated “Hyde Park on Hudson”).
First-time director Theodore Melfi has admitted the part of Vincent was turned down first by Jack Nicholson — and maybe even that iconic actor couldn’t have done a better job than Murray playing this improbable hero, something that may not be forgotten come Oscar nomination time.
But mostly, the crowd-pleasing “St. Vincent’’ provides Murray with his first comic vehicle in years. It’s a tour de force and a cause for major celebration.

Summarize this article:
Wang Ting-yu, chairman of the defence committee in Taiwan's parliament, said Chinese spies were masquerading as academics or business people.
He claimed Beijing was trying to sow chaos within Taiwanese society.
China considers the self-ruling island territory that must be reunited with the mainland - by force if necessary.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Wang said intelligence reports suggest China spends millions of dollars on its Taiwan operations.
He said Chinese spies tried to recruit agents within Taiwan's corridors of power.
"Some get married into Taiwan, some pretend they are scholars, some pretend they are businessmen, and they immerse themselves into our society," he said.
"They seduce and lure our military personnel and government officers into becoming their agents."
Mr Wang said he could not disclose the source of his information.
Beijing has previously denied claims that it sends spies to Taiwan.
Earlier this week, a bodyguard for the former Vice-President Annette Lu was arrested and accused of spying.
Wang Hong-ju is accused of being paid by the Chinese to recruit an intelligence officer to gather information for Beijing in exchange for a large cash payment and safe relocation to mainland China if exposed.
He is alleged to have worked for China after leaving government service in Taiwan, but the episode is likely to unnerve the Taiwanese authorities.
"The realisation that even someone who worked that close to the top of the island's government hierarchy could become a spy for the nation's biggest enemy gives one cold shivers," read an editorial in the English-language Taiwan News.
Annette Lu said the bodyguard was one of about 50 who had been assigned to protect her.
"It's important that we check the security and loyalty of those who serve the president and vice-president," she told the BBC.
Just a few days before the bodyguard's detention, a Chinese student, Zhou Hongxu, was also arrested in Taiwan for breaching national security laws.
Some media outlets were reporting that there are around 5,000 Chinese spies in Taiwan, although the government later denied that was true.
China has spied on Taiwan for years, but Wang Ting-yu said the election of Ms Tsai, from the Democratic Progressive Party, appeared to have spurred Beijing into greater action.
He said China's aim was not simply to collect information, but also to spread unrest in Taiwan.
The island's commitment to an open society was allowing Beijing to stir up trouble under the cloak of free speech, said the committee chairman. "You cannot tell who your enemy is," he said.
Several new laws to tighten security are due to be introduced this year.
Taiwan plans to ban senior government and military officials from travelling to China for three years after they retire, to prevent them from being lured into handing over secret information.
If China has increased its secret activities in Taiwan this would fit into a broader pattern of antagonism towards the island since Ms Tsai's election.
China had warm ties with the previous Taiwanese President, Ma Ying-jeou, but it has cut all contact with Ms Tsai.
It has also reverted to its previous policy of trying to isolate Taiwan in the international arena.
A Taiwanese defence review published once every four years came out this week and said China now posed an even greater military threat to the island.
