Riba is unlawful for a significant increase in the absence of property subject to real business transactions In this paper, the authors tried to solve the problem with the positioning of the Quran as the foundation footing by digging understanding and pengaharaman stages riba in the Quran through the causes of decline in verse which discusses usury, then usury compare with interst.
By: Turmudi: Nim 06 EKNI 1023
|A. Preliminary
In economic activity, since the first Muslim community until now frequently encountered or emerging issue that is usury. Deemed to be a problem because the normative usury is forbidden by religion and applied it mensengsarakan a fun party and other parties. Therefore, the Koran, the Muslim community should be positioned as the foundation footing to address and resolve the problem of usury.
In this paper, the authors tried to solve the problem with the positioning of the Quran as the foundation footing by digging understanding and pengaharaman stages riba in the Quran through the causes of the decline paragraph that discusses the riba, usury and then comparing with interst.
|B. Understanding Riba
Regarding the definition of usury, we encounter a variety of opinions, both from the jurists and scholars that in principle can be classified in two things: understanding the language and understanding riba riba in the term.
In the language comes from the root word riba RBW, ie increased or excessive, grow or develop. Those words mean is a particular advantage obtained a debtor from creditors, [1] and can also mean additional, that is addition to the principal property, be it little or much [2]
While the term, usury is the addition of the subject property without a real business transaction, [3] means that the presence of Islamic business transactions which are justified as buying and selling, mortgage, lease, or for the results of the project the additional property that is halal or away from usury. Thus the development of the property factor is the presence of people running and working on it is not by itself because the time factor alone.
|C. Riba prohibition process and Asbabun Nuzulnya
Determination and application of Islamic law to his people carried out gradually, it is intended that the Muslims did not object to execute it, so does the prohibition of usury. He revealed in four stages, namely:
A. The first stage, the word of God in the letter of al Rum verse 39:
Verses revealed in Mecca on which there is no sign that dzahirnya show diharamkannya usury, but only God's wrath against usury was riba which stated that there was no reward from Allah at all. [4]
One thing to note that in paragraph above, denngan understanding riba zakat negated. Riba does not add to the sight of God but only adds to one's principal assets, while reducing the alms despite the excess of one's possessions when there are still those who struggle to make ends meet then zakat adding value to one's deeds and even the solution instead of lending money in the hope of picking up additional return on time. It was explained in the letter of al Rum verse 38.
2. The second stage, the word of God in the letter an Nisa 'verses 160-161
Paragraph above is derived in Medina and the lessons told by Alah told us about the behavior of the Jews who are prohibited from usury, but they break them and even justified. As a consequence they have the curse and wrath of God.
Prohibition in this subsection a new form of cues, not overtly Jewish causes is just the story and not an argument qath'i that usury is forbidden for Muslims. [5]
3. The third stage, the word of God in the letter of al Imran verse 130:
The above verse was revealed in Madinah and is expressly ban, but the prohibition (haraam) juz'i usury is new here (in part) and yet are kully (overall). Because illegitimate here is a kind of riba is usury the most heinous, meaning a form of usury which the debt can multiply that by the NII people berpiutang done in terms of the debtor in a state of need and necessity. [6]
According to a history that is, that verse is revealed regarding Saqif family that gave to the Children Mughirah debt, when it is time for payment, Bani Mughirah said: "We will increase your wealth and grant him / us a grace period for payment of debt". [7]
4. The fourth stage, the word of Allah in Surat al-Baqarah verse 275-280:
There are some things that are described in this paragraph, First, the transaction is not the same programs so usury. Second, trade is permissible while usury is forbidden, Thirdly, those who have heard the verse immediately stopped the ban on riba or usury leave without a return that has already done. [8]
The next verse explains that while emphasizing the usury laws, as noted in paragraph 276, 277 and 278 letters of al Baqarah:
From the above verse, usury was forbidden as a whole (kully) which at this stage of the Quran is no longer distinguish between usury that much or little. And this verse is the last verse the decline, which means that the Shari'ah is the last verse that is also contained in the letter of al-Baqarah verse 278. This verse is the last stage of the illicit nature of usury. [9]
Furthermore there is information concerning the rights of people who provide debt and how the attitude to be taken if the right person is threatened, as described in the letter of al Baqarah verse 279-280:
From the second paragraph above, the Quran states that the right person to give the debt, which is a principal debt, and if the person receiving the debt was having trouble paying then let that give debt relief that can give a tough time giving payment, but if the debtor is true really having trouble then the best way assume the debt as alms. [10]
|D. Riba and Interest
That the prohibition of riba al Quran as we describe above can be understood wisdom behind pengharamannya, namely that the practice of usury in the socio-economic system is ruthless in which profits earned through the imposition of (deferred) interest rate which reflects the exploitative actions against those who are economically weak by force and cunning as well as the ultimate goal to be achieved from usury is immoral. [11]
Amoralnya cruel practice of usury and that it is very natural that the Code of the Law of Moses (Old Testament) prohibits the activity, as was also in Greece, where usury is called rokos, that is something that is born of an organic creature. Money says Aristotle, is an object that is not classified as organic, so the money could not have children. Furthermore, the philosopher says to those who ask for payment of the loan money the actions considered contrary to the laws of nature. The same is beraku for the Christian in the Bible where the Gospel (Luke VI: 35) are not allowed to take advantage of the lending of gold and other precious metals, ie, of all objects that could not have children.
But in the 11th century where the people - the Jews, as a nation that is not landed in the water demanded by the Europeans to leave the trading business, which is due to jealousy of the progress of European Jews trading business. Therefore, the Jews began to change their profession as a moneylender money / usury and made it to today, and then followed by an Italian Catholic family and that is Lambordia Cahorsia, although initially condemned by society but eventually received a high honor among the nobility and even of the church itself.
In the development of interest / usury until recently, he was allowed to be taken as a reason for abstinence, [12] is that creditors refrain (abstinence) in the sense of intention to suspend use of his own money just to meet the wishes of others, so that the debtor is considered mandatory pay rent on money borrowed. However, the factual reality that lenders will only lend the excess money than he needed, so the actual lender does not hold back on anything that consequently he would not be demanded in return for not doing these things. [13]
In addition to the above reason is the reason the rent, the lender lends money to borrowers, so naturally if the borrower pays rent on the money. Keep in mind that the characteristics of different currencies with other goods that have the power shrinkage, damage and maintenance costs, thus making the rent on the money lent is not reasonable or prohibited. Thus the practice lend money (interest) equal to prakrek usury is forbidden by the shari'ah.
The issue of riba in the Quran asserts that the prohibition of usury is not only based on legalistic considerations but also on moral and humanitarian considerations. Nature of usury as practiced in pre-Islamic period shows something that is prohibited in the Quran is essentially the exploitation of the weak, but subsequent development is that the practice is cruel and immoral. Therefore non-usurious financial institutions is a solution for Muslims at this time because there are no reasons have been given emergency financial institution with a growing number of non-usurious practices.

The 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry is shared by two long-time NIH grantees, Robert
H. Grubbs, Ph.D. and Richard R. Schrock, Ph.D., along with Yves Chauvin, Ph.D.
The two researchers are honored for developing metal-containing molecules that
are now used daily in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to make important
The NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences supported the research
of each scientist since 1983, spanning the period in which their award-winning
work was conducted and published. The Institute also helped support the training
of the scientists before they launched their independent research careers. Over
the years, NIGMS has provided nearly $12 million to support the two scientists.
This demonstrates that early training dollars and sustained support of investigator-initiated
ideas can yield significant discovery.
"New pathways to discovery often depend upon new technologies. Today's Nobelists
developed a technique to control metathesis, a chemical reaction that makes it
possible for two chemical entities to switch places, and create completely novel
molecules. Because of their work, metathesis has become one of organic chemistry's
most important reactions and is used to create new materials and pharmaceuticals
in an effective, efficient and environmentally friendly way," said NIH Director,
Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D.
The two scientists worked independently to develop molecules, called catalysts,
that facilitate metathesis. The catalysts, one developed by Schrock in 1990 and
the other by Grubbs in 1992, allow chemists to harness metathesis to make materials
ranging from medicines to bullet-proof vests.
"By probing the mechanism of the intriguing but poorly understood process of
metathesis, Grubbs and Schrock synthesized new catalysts that made this process
tremendously useful. These catalysts have greatly aided the process of drug discovery
and have had enormous impact on the development of advanced materials," said
Jeremy M. Berg, Ph.D., NIGMS director who maintains his own chemistry laboratory
at the NIH.
Since 1954, NIH has supported the work of 36 Nobel laureates in chemistry.
The Office of the Director, the central office at NIH, is responsible for setting
policy for NIH, which includes 27 Institutes and Centers. This involves planning,
managing, and coordinating the programs and activities of all NIH components.
The Office of the Director also includes program offices which are responsible
for stimulating specific areas of research throughout NIH. Additional information
is available at http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) — The Nation's Medical Research
Agency — is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human
Services. It is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting basic,
clinical, and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes,
treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases. For more information

Osama should start his own blog. Call it, Osama Blog Laden dot com.
He would be a hit for the jihadi's and leftists.
In fact, his blog would be so popular, he might even compete with the Kos kids.
If Osama wanted to start his own blog, can you imagine the link-backs he'd get?
His page rank and traffic would skyrocket and the lefties would probably even buy advertising spots on his front page.
Do it, Osama. You seem to be up with the times in American politics, I think you'd do well with your own blog.

"With fresh figures showing a return to economic growth over last year, George Osborne has a spring in his step. Growth is back, jobs are being created; his plan is vindicated in time for today's budget. There's work still to do, but he's building a 'resilient economy' he believes.
Yesterday evening, I was very pleased to take part in a debate on "Can capitalism be made good?" in Marlborough. I argued "no", alongside Stewart Wallis from the New Economics Foundation. On the other side were Will Morris, chair of the CBI's tax committee and Anglican priest, and Hugh Pym of the BBC. The Bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, presided.
When the difficulties between St Paul's and the Occupy London camp were at their height we pointed out that the Church of England has a habit of smothering radicalism with a great big hug.

SLU Researchers Test New Pneumonia Vaccine
CBS St. Louis (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSStL.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSStL.com/Health
ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Local researchers are testing a new vaccine that protects against pneumonia.
Saint Louis University infectious diseases specialist Dr. Sarah George says they're looking at a new FDA-approved vaccine against pneumococal pneumonia.
"Essentially, what we want to ask is whether or not we can find a dose where a new FDA-approved vaccine, called Prevnar 13, how much of that medication, that vaccine, we need to use in people who already had an older version of that vaccine," George said.
The previous vaccine protected against illnesses such as meningitis and blood stream infections caused by pneumonia but not pneumonia itself.
The pneumonia vaccine is recommended for people over 65 and those with compromised immune systems. For more information on this study, call (314) 977-6333.

CAIRO – Criticizing its message and content as 'criticizing' Islam, Pakistan private schools federation has banned Malala Yousafzai's book 'I am Malala', stirring mixed reactions from students who deem the young girl as a symbol of their struggle for education.
"She is a hero and an inspiration," Yumna Afzal, 16, of Lahore's exclusive Bloomfield Hall School told The Independent on Sunday, November 10.
"The decision [to ban the book] is completely wrong and it is a conspiracy to show Malala as a US puppet.
"I have heard talk shows on TV where people are claiming Malala is fake and the injuries she received are not real, but I really don't agree with them," Afzal said.
Representing more than 152,000 institutions across the country, the All Pakistan Private Schools Federation has banned Malala's book for being not 'suitable' for pupils.
Citing the ban, officials said the book will not be included in the curriculum or available at school libraries.
"The federation thought we should review the book, and having reviewed it we came to the decision that the book was not suitable for our children, particularly not our students," Mirza Kashif, the federation's president, said.
"Pakistan is an ideological country. That ideology is based on Islam.... In this book are many comments that are contrary to our ideology."
Kashif added that they would review their decision if Malala agreed to make changes to the book.
"We are the biggest supporters of Malala. The private schools shut down [when she was shot]. We all support her, we are not against her. She is our daughter," Kashif said.
"If she would look at these things and take measures not to hurt the emotions of Muslims, we will welcome it."
Considered as a symbol of girls' struggle for education, Malala stole international attention in October 2012 after she was shot by Taliban militants over her campaign to encourage more girls to go to schools in Pakistan.
Last August, Malala won the International Children's Peace Prize for her dedication to promoting education.
She now lives and attends school in England.
The book's criticism started after Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has vowed to attack the bookstores which sell the book, immediately adter its release.
Demonizing Malala
Analysts claim that the book ban comes amid nationwide debates on Malala's activities, and aims at stigmatizing her."The decision to ban the book is the result of a deliberate smear campaign run against Malala and the book by right-wing commentators," said Bina Shah, a Karachi-based novelist and education campaigner.
"There has been complete confusion about the book, sown very deliberately in the minds of adults because of this right-wing talk."
Yet, some students criticized the Pakistani new public figure as being used by the west to worsen the image of her country.
"The world already gets to hear a lot of corruption stories about Pakistan and this is only going to add to that same image," said Zonash Raza, 15.
"Personally, I think it was a biased decision to send Malala to the UN to represent Pakistan because there are millions of other girls who are suffering far greater hardships, but are never noticed or sent to the UN," Ramsha Shoaib, 15, added.
"She is giving a very negative image to the world outside. She, being a girl, was supposed to portray a positive image of the country."
Pakistan, home of 180 million people, is a Sunni majority country with 85 percent Sunnis.
Shiites make up 10 percent of the total population.

School funding
Gov. Ted Strickland spent about half his interview with the Enquirer Friday rebutting critics of his school-funding plan, unveiled as part of his two-year, $54 billion budget that legislators must pass by June 30.
State legislators this week asked Strickland for more details to back up his school-funding proposal, which reduces state funding for charter schools, calls for all-day kindergarten and lengthens the academic year by 20 days.
"I am puzzled by those who for many years have been critical of our current funding methods who have said we just can't continue to shovel money out the door and do the same thing. Well, I am proposing very transformational change,'' Strickland said.
"I think the 'evidence-based' approach is the most credible approach that we have in determining what it will cost to educate a particular student.
"Change is tough,'' Strickland said. "Even people who have been critical of our current system for years and our current methods of teaching for years may find change difficult when it actually confronts them. But I came to office saying that I was going to deal with this situation. I am determined to do so. And I am convinced that if the plan I have introduced is enacted into law, it will strengthen Ohio's system of education. It will make us a more competitive state. And it will be good for individual students and good for the well-being of our state. I haven't claimed it is a perfect plan . . . If people want to bring me specific criticisms, I will consider them. If they have merit, I will respond appropriately. But I have little patience for those who seem to want it three or four different ways."
COLUMBUS - The state ordered all halfway houses not to evict paroled offenders Friday, in reaction to last Saturday's murder of a 13-year-old girl from Winton Hills.
"If your agency is not already doing so, please put the following practices into place immediately,'' Linda S. Janes, deputy director of parole and community services, wrote in a directive from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
"Before evicting any offender under the supervision of the Adult Parole Authority from your program, contact the Regional Administrator or their designee for instructions,'' Janes wrote. "If the offender has become assaultive or has seriously threatened staff or other offenders, of course, the first call should be made to local law enforcement, then to the appropriate APA staff."
Cincinnati officials are upset over Anthony Kirkland's eviction from Pogue Rehabilitation Center on Feb. 27. Kirkland, a convicted killer and sex offender, has since been charged with killing 13-year-old Esme Kenney in Winton Hills on Saturday.
Trayce Thalheimer, regional administrator for the Ohio Adult Parole Authority in Cincinnati, told the Enquirer Thursday that the Volunteers of America's Pogue Center in Over-the-Rhine followed proper procedure when it expelled Kirkland for fighting on the night of Friday, Feb. 27, then notified parole officers on the morning of Monday, March 2.
The center's staff called police Feb. 27, but the officers said they could not arrest Kirkland for assault because the man he punched refused to press charges. That meant Kirkland wasn't going to jail and couldn't stay at the center.
Officials at Pogue Center could not be reached for comment on Friday's directive.
If the parole authority requests that the offender be held until a parole officer arrives, "please make every effort to do so," Janes wrote. "You are not expected to physically restrain the offender in any way, but closely monitor them so that you can immediately report if they abscond from the facility before the officer arrives.''
In an interview Friday, Gov. Ted Strickland said he's very concerned about lapses in procedures that led to a paroled killer's release from Pogue Rehabilitation Center in Over-the-Rhine.
"There needs to be adequate, close and appropriate supervision,'' Strickland told the Enquirer, "and there needs to be procedures and protocols in place. . . Simply to insist that someone leave or allow someone to leave a facility who is a disruptive individual without immediately notifying the appropriate parole authorities is just unacceptable. Either there weren't sufficient protocols in place or they weren't followed.''
Six members of Cincinnati City Council sent a letter to Strickland on Tuesday asking him to cut state funds to Pogue Center, 115 W. McMicken Ave., which more than 60 sex offenders have registered as their home address.
Strickland, a former state prison psychologist, said he spoke with Terry Collins, the director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction "and other leadership within the DRC (about) sending a group to that facility to do an evaluation regarding future operations."
Also Friday, the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless asked that the Pogue Center remain open - calling government efforst to close it "ignorant."
Without the Pogue Center, most of those at the center - including sex offenders - would be out on the streets, the group said in a statement.
"Instead of knowing where they are with the increased opportunity for tracking, treatment, and rehabilitation, these people would be living in abandoned buldings, in alleys, underneath bridges and the like, as close as they choose to be to schools, parks and other areas they may use to find people to victimize," the statement read. .

PAWTUCKET – In the eyes of team president Mike Tamburro, the PawSox' championship season is a feat that should be shared and celebrated with the public.
Though plans are still being finalized, Tamburro, gave the green light to announce that the Governors' Cup trophy will be making the rounds this offseason. Right now the target is to bring the silver hardware to each and every Rhode Island city and town along with neighboring Massachusetts communities.
"We're thrilled to be taking the Governors' Cup trophy to all 39 cities and towns in Rhode Island and throughout Massachusetts, too," stated Tamburro. "This historic trophy dates back over 80 years and we couldn't be more excited to share it with all of our fans throughout Southern New England."
The trophy tour kicked off earlier this week as the Governors' Cup made an appearance at the BoSox Club luncheon, held at the Sheraton Needham (Mass.) Hotel. Many in attendance wished to have their photo taken with the trophy, which figures to be the general reaction during the coming months. Closer to home, the trophy was on display during Thursday night's Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's 27th annual awards dinner at the Twin River Event Center.
A complete schedule figures to become crystallized in the coming weeks and appear on www.pawsox.com [3].
Gerald Perry's third tour of duty as Pawtucket's hitting coach has come to an end as the Red Sox have elected not to retain the 51-year-old for the 2013 season. Perry rejoined the PawSox this past season after spending the 2011 season out in Oakland as the Athletics' hitting coach.
Previously, Perry had served as the Pawtucket's hitting coach in 1998 and 2010. Under Perry, the PawSox hit .266 as a team in 2012, which was the third-highest mark in the International League. It's also worth noting that under Perry's tutelage, Jose Iglesias increased his PawSox batting average 31 points over the previous season.
One organizational candidate that figures to receive strong consideration is current Portland hitting coach Dave Joppie. The 46-year-old Joppie has been a hitting coach in the Red Sox' system for the past seven seasons with the past five seasons coming with the Sea Dogs.
One player who reaped the benefits of Joppie's guiding hand was outfield prospect Bryce Brentz. In April with Portland, Brentz batted .216 with 29 strikeouts in 88 at-bats. By the time he landed in Pawtucket in late August, Brentz' final Portland numbers –.296 average with 17 homers and 76 RBI – were on par with his output at previous minor-league stops.
"(Dave) knows how to take care of his players, knowing that works for me isn't going to work for other people," said Brentz earlier this month at McCoy Stadium. "We could have a conversation like a father to a red-headed step child and really get into it a little bit. At the end, there were no hard feelings and we'd hug and walk away. Dave knew how to speak to me as well as the other guys."

Tetouan is a lively town where there is always something going on. In the image of its festivals and the access to various sports activities in the surrounding area.
The international Mediterranean film festival takes place in Tetouan at the end of March. On this occasion, the entire Arabo-Andalusian town lives in unison with the seventh art. Since 2008, honouring women through culture and creation, local, national and international artists gather together for three days in July for the "Voix de femmes, voies du futur" festival (women's voices, way of the future). Since 2003, each year in May, the national Fine Arts Institution of Tetouan organises in partnership with the Wallonia-Brussels Delegation, the international Comic Strip festival, an event that will become one of the main yearly meeting places for comic strip producers, creators and fans.
Golf lovers can hit the white ball at the Royal Golf in Cabo Negro and take advantage of its magnificent course on the flanks of the Rif mountains, looking out over the sea, twisting in and out of the agaves and mimosas. Another sport, another pleasure: the tennis courts are at your disposal, as well as horses for a ride along the beach. In Tamuda Bay, all water sports are represented: from scuba diving to wakeboard and from fishing to jet-ski. One of the excursions will take you along the Rhomara coast up to El Jebha, with its small deserted bays and its fishing villages. By going further inland in the direction of Chefchaouen, you enter the region of Jbala (mountainous).
In Tetouan, the numerous festivals and varied sports activities allow visitors to change from one activity to another.

Before you take your next trip to the dry cleaners, consider this irony: you likely take your clothes to the dry cleaner so they look their best, but the high drying temperatures and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning process can deteriorate fabric over time, decreasing your clothing's lifespan. As women who work hard for our money and care (probably too much) about our clothes, we're aiming to go to the dry cleaner a little less. To this end, we put together five tips to skip the dry cleaner, or at least stretch the time between visits.

You Could Be The Winner Of This Custom-Built Engine!Go To Syntectopshop.ComAnd Vote For Your Favorite Engine
As you might have seen in last month's Castrol Syntec Top Shop Challenge update, we're building a small-block engine and are now full throttle on the build. With this build needing to be completed by August, we only had a few weeks to complete the engine from top to bottom. With us trying to psyche out the competition, it was only natural for us to play some head games. The top end of an engine is where all of the horsepower comes from, so with two Comp turbos being custom made, we started preparing the CNC Trick Flow heads to take everything that we throw at it.
The Trick Flow heads are the Super 23 Race CNC cylinder heads for small-block Chevrolet engines with 18-degree performance. These ported heads are the closest thing that you can get to 18-degree cylinder head performance in a 23-degree head. Designed to use standard small-block Chevy valvetrain components and headers, they're designed specifically for 400-c.i.d. and larger engines.
Since these heads have the ability to produce more than 600 naturally aspirated horsepower when matched with the proper components, they're the perfect combination to the World Products small-block 350 engine block that we're putting together. The internals of the engine consist of a Lunati billet crank and connecting rods, and CP Pistons. We can't wait to use the Fast fuel system, but before we get there, we need to knock out and prepare the heads.
Remember to go online and vote for your favorite lowrider engine at www.SyntecTopShop.com. Once there, you can register to win this engine. Look out for the next installment where we take on the bottom end of this World Products small-block and make it as "bulletproof" as possible. We'll show you how the rotating assembly will go on, but for now see how we play head games with the competition.

For students at Gonzaga Law that would like to study abroad, Florence has long been an option, as well as, a six-week program in China that has seen increasing popularity over the last few years. This year, a new affiliation with Pacific McGeorge School of Law and Denver Sturm College has opened up an alternative summer program in Antigua, Guatemala, with both classroom and externship opportunities.
Classes Will Be Offered in Spanish and English
The new Guatemala global learning program offers bilingual, intercultural legal education during the summer. Students with a wide range of Spanish language proficiency are welcome to study in Guatemala, regardless, of their level of Spanish proficiency. Students will have the option to study comparative or transnational law courses in Spanish and English. An intensive Spanish language tutoring program will also be available for students. The program is designed to ensure that students return to the United States with stronger international law knowledge, Spanish language skills, and cultural competency.
International externship opportunities
Students with sufficient Spanish language skills will have the opportunity to continue this unique learning experience through being placed in an externship. Externships and field placements will focus on a wide variety of international and social issues in Guatemala, Uruguay, Costa Rica, and Chile.
Preparing students for the future of law
This program will help to prepare law students effectively for a multicultural practice in the United States or in Latin America. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hispanic population in the United States has increased 43% in the past decade alone. These demographic changes, and projected changes in the future, make this program extremely relevant to students who that are preparing themselves for a career in law.
Deadlines and application details
Students who have a good academic standing and are looking for a great summer abroad program are encouraged to apply by March 1. Accepted students will begin classes on May 25 and go till June 15. The program cost will include four semester unit hours that will transfer over to their Gonzaga Law School degree. Students are welcome to apply for study abroad scholarships to help compensate for the program fees.
"[This program is] a fantastic new opportunity for Gonzaga law students to study law, language, and a culture that is so important to our global community and marketplace," explained Gonzaga Law program organizer and professor, Brooks Holland.

Montreal sweeps Lightning to big numbers
Tuesday night the Montreal Canadiens completed their sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the NHL Playoffs and brought in big numbers for RDS, with an average audience of 1.7 million viewers tuning into the game.
According to numbers from BBM Quebec provided in a release, as many as 2.4 million people had tuned into the game to catch the first sweep for the Montreal team since 1993.

The numbers best estimates from Patrick Jutras, SVP of sales for Bell Media in Quebec, who said the media co expected to pull average audiences around 1.2 million for Montreal's first round games.
Elsewhere, Tuesday night's game brought in an average audience of 2.2 million viewers on the CBC nationally, with average numbers for the series also coming in at 2.2 million.
As for who the Canadiens will play in the second round, that will be decided based on who wins the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings series. The next game is on tonight at 8 p.m. on RDS and TSN.

A major hurdle for laboratories is the reimbursement of diagnostic tests. Escalating costs for test development, performance, interpretation and reporting, compounded with additional costs to satisfy new regulatory requirements could result in the elimination of important clinical tests. In considering revisions to the current oversight processes, AMP urged FDA to realize the potential ramifications on test availability due to economic considerations.
Lastly, AMP recommended that the FDA convene an external advisory committee composed of individuals with expertise in the relevant diagnostic areas to assist in identifying the appropriate risk classifications. Dr. Lyon said, "There is much debate in the community about the criteria used to group LDTs into low, medium and high risk categories. An external advisory committee would be a very valuable tool for the FDA as it works to make these determinations."
Dr. Lyon concluded, "As the FDA considers its approach to regulating LDTs, AMP encourages the agency to consider the unanticipated effects that significant modifications to the current oversight system could represent for clinical laboratories." These unanticipated effects include the possibility that laboratories may be compelled to discontinue services and/or potentially lose flexibility to rapidly introduce and continually improve tests, all of which would adversely impact delivery of effective care to our patients.
In holding this meeting, AMP believes that the FDA has taken an important step forward and AMP looks forward to partnering with the FDA and continuing to work with the Agency for the benefit of patients.

King Arthur, a strategy game mixed with RPG elements developed NeoCoreGames and published by Paradox Interactive, will arrive on Steam for Linux.
King Arthur – The Role-playing Wargame has been launched since three years ago on the Windows platform, but the developers are now considering bringing it to Linux.
This move might be determined by the publisher, Paradox, who is publishing a number of games for Linux, but until now there is no definitive information about a possible port.
The information about the Linux version is taken from the CDR database and by no means is it completely certain. The CDR Database is a record of data that describes every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve for the Steam service.
Usually, the new entries in the Steam database are first visible in the CDR Database before their official launch.

I was looking at the Discovery Channel website this week. Who doesn't like the Discovery Channel? There are many good shows, but I am not really a fan of Texas Car Wars.
I saw this interesting article by Bambi Turner on "Tens Ways Artificial Intelligence Will Affect Our Lives". The first way was for "Taming the Weather". It talks about how scientists will be able to predict the weather better by using artificial intelligence to shift through complex data to spot patterns the human eye misses. This seemed timely with the terrible Hurricane Sandy that the East Coast experienced this week.
Some of the other ways mentioned are interesting. I do not agree that Transhumanism represents the ultimate application of artificial intelligence to human life. Take a look at the list and tell me what you think?

Canadian Oil Sands Discourse: Bad or Good for Business - Depends on Who's Talking
By: Meirav Even-Har, Toronto
With the news that TransCanada Corporation would reapply for a permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline from the oil sands in Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico, the oil sands discussion is back in the media. It didn't really leave. Last week was a crucial vote by the EU on its fuel directive, which generated much attention. While environmental and community groups have argued against expansion of the oil sands, provincial governments now find each other at odds, as well.
Alberta and Ontario do not have the reputation of having much of a warm relationship. Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty rejected a recent comment from Alberta's Alison Redford that his province should be more vocally supportive of oil sands development, because of spinoff economic benefits. In a Globe and Mail article, Mr. McGuinty noted that that the high Canadian dollar has "...knocked the wind out of Ontario exporters and manufacturing in particular. "So if I had my preferences as to whether we had a rapidly growing oil and gas sector in the west or a lower dollar, I'll tell you where I stand: with the lower dollar."
This latest Ontario versus Alberta stance is bringing to light the new face of Canada, one that sees a decline in the financial heart of the country, as western growth continues to rise.
Ms. Redford, the Alberta premier, was citing an economic study by the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI), which notes "Ontario is expected to see $63 billion in economic spinoffs and 65,520 oil sands-related jobs between 2010 and 2035." Mostly, the oil sands create work through direct employment and through contracts granted to suppliers. Building pipelines like the Keystone XL requires machinery, metal fabrication and manufacturing.
Aside from the argument of whether dollars generated from the west help the rest of the country, it is important to note that Canada's love-hate relationship with the high Loonie is not new, and not exclusive to the oil sands. Over the past two decades, decline in the forestry sector, particularly pulp and paper industry, has occurred, and fluctuations with the dollar were blamed. However, Canada exports raw materials to be refined or processed elsewhere, creating resource dependent communities that eventually dwindle, due to shifts in product demand or resource depletion.
While Ontario's auto and manufacturing sectors are not reliant on natural resources, it does call to question what will happen once Alberta oil dries up, or the world shifts to cleaner energy sources. Ontario has been attempting to diversify its economy through the introduction of new policies under the Green Energy and Green Economy Act (2009), and the Water Opportunities and Water Conservation Act (2010). Both aim to encourage a shift to move the province toward a green economy while increasing investment and innovation in clean energy and water technologies. Although applauded, the reliance of so many on the manufacturing sector for so long means positive change hasn't been felt.
It seems that while a high Canadian dollar hurts Ontario businesses, the argument for slower oil sands production to help our exports remains weak. Overall, Canada is benefiting from economic growth due to its natural resources exploitation. This nation's ongoing reliance on extracting and shipping raw natural resources for economic growth is both a blessing and curse. Unlike Mr. McGuinty's stance, our troubles continue not because of a higher dollar, but rather the way we go about producing goods in the first place.

MC Law offers a Louisiana Civil Law Certificate program for students who wish to practice in neighboring Louisiana. Taught by experienced Louisiana attorneys, the program includes five courses that provide the foundation for a Louisiana law practice. Students who complete this course work receive a certificate in Civil Law.
"I have been fortunate to have served as a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, Emory University School of Law, and the University of Arkansas School of Law. Serving as a visiting professor only makes me appreciate MC Law more. People sometimes think going to an Ivy League school makes a big difference, and yes, there are sometimes more resources available, but our students are as bright and hard-working as those at any law school in the country."
— Professor Patricia Bennett
Academics for Success
MC Law's rigorous academic program combines a strong foundation in the law with opportunities to explore areas of personal interest and engage in hands-on legal work.
First year students take basic courses that teach them to think, speak, and write like lawyers. During the second and third year, students choose from a wide range of electives geared toward their areas of legal interest.
Second- and third-year students may also participate in the MC Law externship program, a course that matches law students with government agencies and non-profit organizations. Students receive academic class credit for their externships and gain valuable, hands-on experience that can only be found through work in the "real world." At any given time, some 50 MC Law students are participating in externships, learning first-hand how to practice in areas like criminal prosecution and defense, environmental law, child advocacy, bankruptcy, appellate practice, and other legal fields.
MC Law is home to five centers focused on specific areas of the law. The Bioethics and Health Law Center, Business and Tax Law Center, Children's Law Center, International Law Center, and Public Service Law Center allow students to develop advanced skills, participate in extracurricular programs, and in some cases, earn special certifications in these areas of practice.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in Law Review, compete on nationally-recognized moot court teams, study law abroad, and participate in other programs that enhance their educational experience and further prepare them for the practice of law.
While the MC Law curriculum is broad, the academic experience is customized for each student. The common denominator is a legal education that equips students for success in the real world outside the law school. Because while every law school teaches classes, MC Law prepares students to become lawyers.

Disney drops its family cell service
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Walt Disney Co. will pull the plug on its branded cell phone service by the end of the year, the company said.
Disney said Thursday that customers liked the product, which allowed parents to determine the location of a child carrying a phone, but that it was having problems getting it into large retailers.
The company will end sales immediately and continue to service the handsets until the end of the year.
Disney is talking to major cell phone carriers about offering some of its most popular services.
Disney subscribers bought special handsets for their children, and the service provided Disney ring tones, video and other branded content.
