C ontrary to popular notion, the symbolic name "Juan de la Cruz " is not a Filipino invention. R. McCulloch-Dick, a Scottish born journalist, coined the generic tag while working for the Manila Times in the early 1900's after discovering it was the most common name in police blotters and court dockets in and around Manila.

Maria Mania

W hy do so many Filipino women (and men) carry "Maria" in their names? A major cause dates back to spanish times when parishes would refuse to baptize a child unless the parents chosen name included the allusion to the Virgin Mary. The practice resists to this day, but on a far less pervasive scale.

"Pilipinas"

T he term Pilipinas. as distinguished from Filipinas. made its first public appearance in a stamp issued during the Japanese Occupation of Manila in World War II. Not until 1962 did the Philippine government make a similar change from Filipinas to Pilipinas in offic ... Read more »

In short: A certificate from an accredited college or university answers the need for a practical education that will get the student "out the door" and into the workplace. Certificate programs vary widely, but all offer focused study leading to a professional credential that US News calls the new "mini-degree."

Though an undergraduate certificate is sometimes described as "less than an associate's degree," the certificate is intensive, fast-paced, and skill-centered. Working students in online certificate programs are nearly twice as likely to finish as degree-seekers, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Time to completion for certificates varies greatly from eight weeks to one year or, in rare instances, more.

Acceptance of certificates by employers has increased greatly in the 21st Century, especially among those who have taken online classes. Corporations themselves have turned to online training programs; for inst ... Read more »

#What Does MBA Stand For? Top 10 Schools

by Patrick Brady on January 1, 2014

The acronym MBA stands for Master of Business Administration. Individuals who have an interest in understanding how organizations function at a core level would be wise to obtain an MBA from an accredited institution.

If you are looking to advance your career toward a business management or even President/CEO level, you will likely need at least an MBA level degree. The exception would be in cases where you have decided to start your own company. As you might expect, there will not be any specific education requirements for self-started businesses. However, a bit of business education never hurts.

Patents have been in the news recently as Amazon.com and other Internet companies have used patents to obtain monopoly rights in certain inventions. Although many object to anyone having a monopoly on an idea or invention, such monopoly rights have always been a fundamental part of the patent system.

The importance of granting monopolies for new inventions has been recognized in the United States since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. In Article I, section 8, the U.S. Constitution:

Congress shall have power. To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.

Patents in the United States are governed by the Patent Act (35 U.S. Code), which established the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO). The most common type of patent is a utility patent. Utility patents have a duration of twenty years from the date of filing, bu ... Read more »

#Protecting Children in Child Abuse and Neglect Proceedings

Voss-Bascom Professor of Law Emerita

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Introduction

All states have statutory provisions outlining programs of protective services for children who are abused and neglected. These laws have been shaped in very important ways by two federal initiatives: The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974 and The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980. Now, The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1995 has changed the nature of the federal commitment in child abuse and neglect and may affect future state legislation.

The focus of the state abuse and neglect laws is on three discrete, but related situations in which protection of the child in danger of abuse or neglect arises. These are: (1) the decision to remove the child from its home; (2) the efforts to return the child to its home, once it has been removed; and (3) the decision to ... Read more »

#What are Piracy Laws? (with pictures) - mobile wiseGEEK

Today, the Internet is one of the most common ways in which people get the information they need. However, the globalized nature of this communication system has made it very difficult to enforce the piracy laws intended to give content creators protection from those who wish to unfairly profit from their work. Anti piracy software, piracy reporting systems, and campaigns to educate the public about intellectual property laws have turned into the best defense available against this crime.

Essentially, piracy is copyright infringement. The term is most often applied to electronic or audio visual/media. The most common examples of piracy online include sites that allow for the illegal downloading of music, movies, and video games. Software piracy is a common problem as well, especially for expensive programs such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop .

In the United States, piracy laws allow for up to five year ... Read more »

#What - s The Worst Law School In New York?

It s an intriguing question. There are 11 ABA-accredited law schools in New York City and Long Island (I m including Pace, even though the law school is in White Plains). Personally I love them all. Seriously, any one of them can produce a story about great idiocy that I can make fun of on the internet. That s all I really care about.

But law students in New York argue over the strengths and weaknesses of their law schools all the time. Or at the very least they often mutter about the idiots across town under their breath.

While some students like to argue that they go to the best law school in New York, that s a less interesting question. And there are so many Yale students running around town (New Haven is only 90 minutes away), so saying you go to the best law school in New York feels a little bit like saying you re the tallest midget.

#What are Human Rights

Universal and inalienable

The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. This principle, as first emphasized in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights in 1948, has been reiterated in numerous international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions. The 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, for example, noted that it is the duty of States to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems.

All States have ratified at least one, and 80% of States have ratified four or more, of the core human rights treaties, reflecting consent of States which creates legal obligations for them and giving concrete expression to universality. Some fundamental human rights norms enjoy universal protection by customary international law across all boundaries and civilizations.

As codified in law with the 2nd Amendment, the People did not delegate the power to regulate or control the ownership of firearms to the federal government. And, as the 10th Amendment makes clear, all powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the States or to the People themselves.

#What Is a Law in Science?

Date: 25 March 2015 Time: 11:56 PM ET

In equations formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, the force of gravity grows with the mass of two objects and gets weaker the more distant the objects are from each other.

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn t explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of the phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research.

In science, laws are a starting place, said Peter Coppinger, an associate professor of biology and biomedical engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. From there, scientists can then ask the questions, Why and how?

Getting a professional degree can be a long and rigorous process. Two of the most difficult advanced degrees are a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) and a Juris Doctor (JD). Some universities offer joint MD/JD programs to reduce the amount of time needed to get both degrees from seven years to six.

While medicine and the law often intersect in the real world, joint MD and JD degree programs focus on two very different curricula. The combination of both requires a studious and determined student. At most universities offering the program, including Duke University, students are required to apply separately to the School of Medicine and the School of Law. If accepted into both programs, they are eligible for the dual degree program.

A new odd couple is born with a new spy-film twist.

A new odd couple is born with a new spy-film twist.

Michael Douglas is Stephen Tobias, a rugged deep-cover CIA agent, who focuses more on his work that his life with his son, Mark (Ryan Reynolds) or his now ex-wife, Judy (Candice Bergen).

It turns out that Mark is about to get married to beautiful Melissa (Lindsay Sloane) but has yet to meet Mark's parents. Mark assures her that is a good thing. But Melissa's parents, Jerry (Albert Brooks) and Katherine (Maria Ricossa) insist on meeting at least Mark's father.

During the first meeting between Mark's father and Melissa's parents, mild-mannered foot-doctor Jerry stumbles in on one of Stephen's spy plans and finds himself swept up in Stephen's mess on the ... Read more »

Boston University offers many different undergraduate paths to a career in law. While getting excellent preparation for law school, you’ll have the freedom to concentrate on a subject area that truly excites you.

Some pre-law students choose a traditional pre-law major through either the College of Arts Sciences (CAS) or the  Questrom School of Business  (Questrom). But you can also choose any of the 250+ majors offered by our schools and colleges. For example, you could major in political science or international relations (CAS). Or get your degree in a field unrelated to law, such as Latin (CAS) or painting (CFA).

The path you follow is up to you. But to help you along the way, BU provides specialized pre-professional advisors for legal careers. Your advisors will give you expert guidance on courses, research projects and other co-curricular opportunities that will help you compete for the best law schools.

#Just Ask Jeeves

The Internet used to be very popular. I suppose it still retains some charm. But I remember a time when people didn’t laugh at other people just because they owned stock in Internet companies or worked for an Internet company. And then, all that Internet crap got sucked right back into that giant capitalist ass that is America. Honestly, I can say I saw it coming. The signs were everywhere.

All you really had to do was Ask Jeeves. And I did.

Ask Jeeves was supposed to be some search engine where all you have to do is type in a question in sentence form and get an answer. I remember the excitement surrounding it. Of course, this was clearly the greatest thing on the face of the planet.
