I'm having trouble understanding who to write a feature request to when it comes to getting a audio tone in the bluetooth earpiece when a text or email arrives. Common sense would dictate that if the phone is not on silent, the phone itself and the bluetooth should alert you when a text or email arrives. Such is not the case with my ICON and iPhone 4 with iOS4.1 (a software update that was supposed to improve bluetooth connectivity.) In addition, if the phone is on silent and my bluetooth is connected, I still expect to be alerted in my earpiece.
Do I write a feature request to Apple, or is my ICON to blame. To me, it seems like the ICON goes into standby mode quite often and isn't woken up in time to make the "ping" sound when email or texts arrive. If that is the case, a frimware update from Jawbone might fix this. I'm just wondering if I wrote my concerns to Jawbone, would they tell me it's Apple's fault and I shoud write to Apple? Any insight on this from the forum members or moderators? Thanks.
I have the exact problem. The only way around this is to disable the A2DP feature under Advanced settings. You are basically trading one feature for another. I chose to disable A2DP, since I need my Text/Email notification to come through the Iphone. Good luck.

That's good to know. Thank you. It's a shame consumers have to choose between the two. I'm sure it's fixable, but I still don't know who to address my concerns to - Apple or Jawbone support.
And didabling A2DP only allows sms and email alerts to sound off on the phone itself. I need these alerts to sound off in my earpiece so others around me aren't bothered by the noise.
Thanks so much for these posts!
We appreciate the feedback you've provided.
Any tone or alert aside from the built-in Jawbone tones, like the start up message you hear from the headset, is a signal sent from the phone to the Jawbone (or any Bluetooth headset). The Jawbone cannot receive these signals if the phone is not sending them. I would advise making sure you have A2DP on your ICON and contacting your service provider or phone manufacturer to find out what signals your phone is capable of sending through the Bluetooth connection.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply, but I think I'm onto something with my "ICON-doesn't-snap-out-of-A2DP-standby-mode-fast-e
Case and point - when you start typing a text message on the iPhone 4 the ICON doesn't start making your keypad clicks audible in your earpiece until you're well into your sentence. That's the standby delay. The ICON has to wake up and realize there are noises to report, and then it eventually catches up with what you're doing, missing the first couple of clicks. When we get a text message or an email alert, that's just one short "ping" noise, which is not long enough for the ICON to snap out of standby mode and pick up the audible tone. By the time the Jawbone wakes up, it misses the alert and there's nothing else to report. If the ICON is being used while listening to music, text and email alerts come through fine. That's because the ICON is not in some mysterious A2DP standby mode - it's active, alert, and running. I don't think it's the phone. It's the ICON's battery-saving standby mode.
Disabling A2DP allows the phone itself to sound an alert when texts and emails arrive, but the point of the bluetooth at work is to keep these alerts in the earpiece, so others aren't bothered by it. So that's not a solution to me.
I'd love for the Jawbone techs to look into this further. I'll personally troubleshoot with them over email if need be. Thanks.
Try plugging your Jawbone into your computer and check if there is an update available to install.
On iOS 3 I got alert sounds on the phone, however the upgrade to iOS 4.0 broke those. Once I installed the latest MyTalk update the functionality was mostly restored - I get a standard beep in the earpiece, as long as the phone is not on silent.
There is no way to tell if you have the most recent update by looking at the MyTalk website though - for some reason they don't put a last release date there. You need to plug your icon in and run the updater to see.
Thank you. I plugged it in yesterday and today. I have the latest firmware.
I have written to Apple twice about this.
Apparently an iOS 4.2 beta is out there. I have no idea if this issue was addressed. Regardless, I have my suspicions that the Jawbone folks could find a workaround for this if they deemed it important enough to put on their "to-do" list. Maybe meet Apple half way somehow. I don't think this is a "cutesy" feature request. I think it's an absolute must for any smartphone and bluetooth used in the workplace.
Actually, the length of the tone has NO IMPACT. I changed the text & email alerts to a four minute song that I know plays as music thru the Icon, thinking the same thing: that it took a while for the Icon to pick it up and this would give it 4 minutes. Still, NOTHING!! I have a Droid X and was told the same thing - that the phone was at fault because the Icon couldn't pick up the type of tone that it was sending out. But if it picks up this song as music, then why not as a notification??? This seems to be happening with many types of phones with many operating systems - one thing in common = the Icon. Don't get me wrong, I love my Icon & don't want to change- I just wish I could get my alerts thru it. I solved my prob by installing VLINGO app. I do get my alerts thru that on the Icon.
Thanks for the info, peaced02. That's the beauty of Android - they give you many flexible options to solve these issues. iPhone OS is a tight ship - they don't want you manipulating message tones, and Vlingo doesn't work like it does on an Android phone. At least your message alerts come through.
When you say your alerts come through, is it through the phone speakers when your ICON is connected, or through the ICON earpiece?
With Vlingo, if the Icon is connected, the alerts come thru both the phone speaker AND the Icon earpiece. I'm sorry Steve Jobs won't let you guys have more creative options! But the iPhone is still a great device - I think he will have to open it up eventually though to keep up with Android!

Teams battling for playoff positioningPublished Jan 21, 2013 at 12:51 pm (Updated Jan 21, 2013 at 12:51 pm)
Canon-McMillan's D.J. Mikec eyes up the basket as he prepares for the shot. Heading into action this week, the Big Macs were among five teams tied for third place in Section 4-AAAA. With a handful of league games remaining, each result is critical to team's playoff hopes.
A fight to the finish. That describes the impending action in scholastic boys' basketball action, particularly in Section 4-AAAA, as each club in that division has a shot at a playoff spot.
Heading into action this week, with six section games remaining on their schedules, all eight clubs remained in contention for a post-season berth.
While adversaries Bethel Park (8-0, 14-1) and Upper St. Clair (7-1, 11-3) appeared to have the clearest path to the playoffs, heading into their fray Jan. 22, five teams, including locals Canon-McMillan, Peters Township and Mt. Lebanon were jumbled together in third place with 3-5 records while Baldwin pulled up the rear with a 2-6 mark.
The top four teams in each of the four Quad-A sections clinch a tournament berth. League play ends Feb. 8.
Peters Township took a step in the right direction when the Indians avenged a previous loss and defeated Mt. Lebanon, 57-45, in league action last Friday.
Gabe Pritz exceeded his 19.8 average when he exploded for 29 points in the triumph. Nick Parello followed with 10 tallies, for the Indians, who stretched a 26-22 halftime advantage to 38-30 after three frames.
For the Blue Devils, Johnny Heagy, Eddie Jenkins and Matt Hoffman each finished with eight points.
While Lebo visits Baldwin on Friday, Jan. 25, PT hosts Trinity, which is 3-5 in the section but sports the best overall record (9-7) of the tied third-place teams in the division.
Meanwhile, USC visits Canon-Mac on Jan. 25. The Panthers are coming off a 45-40 victory at Trinity.
J.J. Conn and Jordan Grabowski topped out with 15 and 11 tallies for the Panthers, who led 21-20, at intermission before holding 12-10 scoring edges in the two, second-half quarters.
The Big Macs are coming off a disappointing defeat at Bethel Park last week. In their 62-49, CM held a 27-20 halftime lead, but suffered a scoring slump in the third quarter. BP out-scored CM, 20-6, in the critical frame.
Brett Haney exploded for 20 points, 15 in the first frame. Seth Bohn pitched in with 11 markers.
In Section 4-AA, Seton-La Salle remained in the driver's seat after the Rebels' 78-60 triumph over Chartiers-Houston.
Heading into this week's battles at home with Brentwood and on the road at Fort Cherry, the Rebels sported a 7-0 section slate and a 13-2 overall mark.
Against the Bucs, Ryan Norkus (19), Dale Clancy (12), Christian DelGreco (12) and Levi Masua (10) finished in double digits.
Alec Ferrari and Kodie Hanley fired in 16 and 14 markers for the Bucs, who are 5-10 overall.
The Bucs, who are 2-5 in the section, host Burgettstown on Friday, Jan. 25.
In Section 5-AAA, Keystone Oaks visits South Fayette on Friday, Jan. 25.
The Golden Eagles and Lions are both recent victims of Chartiers Valley, which leads the division with an undefeated record in seven outings and a 13-1 overall slate.
In a 100-55 loss to the Colts, Jared Skolnicki fired in 17 points for the Golden Eagles (3-4, 6-9). Taylor Lehman and Braydon Griffiths each followed with 13 tallies.
In addition to the loss to CV, South Fayette also succumbed to South Park, 71-58, on the road.
C.J. Rudisill pumped in 18 points followed by Justin Watson's 16 markers.
For the second straight game, Evan Bonnaure was held under his 20-plus scoring average. He finished with 10 tallies.

HOUSTON - April 5, 2011 - CenterPoint Energy is partnering with the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) and Louisiana One Call to commemorate April as Safe Digging Month which is dedicated to increasing awareness of safe digging practices. Governor Bobby Jindal has proclaimed the month of April as Safe Digging Month in Louisiana.
Throughout the busy digging month of April, when the potential for underground utility damages increases, homeowners and contractors are reminded that one free call to 811 before digging can prevent injuries, property damage, service disruption and possibly costly fines for damaged infrastructure.
"Each year, more than 200,000 underground utility lines are struck in the United States and improper excavation practice is the root cause of 38 percent of the damages that are reported to the CGA" said Joe Berry, manager of Damage Prevention for CenterPoint Energy. "It is important that everyone digs with C.A.R.E. Call 811 before your dig. Allow 48-hours for the utility lines to be marked. Respect the marks which means hand dig within 18-inches of the marks. Excavate carefully."
The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. So, whether it's a small project like planting trees or shrubs or hiring a professional for a special outdoor project, smart digging means calling 811 before each job.
Since the Call 811 campaign was created in 2008, there has been roughly 15 percent reduction in excavation damages. For more information, visit www.call811.com.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a domestic energy delivery company that includes electric transmission & distribution, natural gas distribution, competitive natural gas sales and services, interstate pipelines, and field services operations. The company serves more than five million metered customers primarily in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. Assets total more than $20 billion. With over 8,800 employees, CenterPoint Energy and its predecessor companies have been in business for more than 135 years. For more information, visit the website at www.CenterPointEnergy.com.

Happy new year 2015 – What's in store?
Posted by ofer in General Messages on January 1, 2015
Hello everybody,
Just wanted to do a quick writeup about what features are planned for the coming year:
- Backend string editor – this feature is about 80% complete by now, it allows you to see strings inserted to the database and perform some actions on those. Things that are now very hard such as removing all translations from a single translator will become a snap. This feature is expected for release in a few weeks.
- Support for widgets in uploads directory – custom widget writers have been complaining (and rightly so) about the fact that upgrading forces a reinstall of the widgets. The basic idea will be to allow some files to stay there and avoid that hassle. This might also open up the option of a downloadable widget directory which will allow us to give more choice of widgets without inflating the plugin file size.
- Frontend string editor – this will create some interface to the strings on the page, that while not being "wysiwyg" will allow some better workflow, mainly with regards to editing meta strings and other hidden strings, with some luck, ajax translations will also be editable after this upgrade. This one will take a few months to come.
- Numeral system support – this feature will automatically translate numbers from the European numeral system to Arabic and Hindi systems (and maybe vice-versa). Not a critical feature but a nice feature coming soon to a parser near you.
- WP Menu integration – not very keen on actually doing this, might happen, might not.
Any comments and ideas will be welcomed below, if they make sense we'll add them to our workplan. If you really wish to promote a feature you may sponsor the coding, contact us via the form.
Happy new year!
Version 0.9.6.0 – Longest overdue, released on shortest day
Posted by ofer in General Messages on December 21, 2014
This version adds the new ten languages Google translate has recently added. The release focused on fighting the warnings and bugs that have crept into Transposh in the last year.
One may ask himself, if the software hasn't changed, how comes bugs have crept in? The answer to that is simple, the software does not exist in a vacuum, things change all the time, new versions of PHP added strict warnings which disturbed some users, there were new releases for wordpress and other software component, as well as changed to the almighty Google translate engine. Those changes created situations that current code was not able to handle, but we wish this new version will be a bit more capable of doing.
Other new stuff includes Yoast SEO sitemaps integration (You need to patch it, instructions are in our code).
A small feature to remove useless auto translations (where the Translations were equal to the original strings, which happens when some sites got blocked by Google)
more stuff, the readme.txt file is your friend.
Hoping to get things more up to speed and rolling
Version 0.9.5 – The lost upgrade
Posted by ofer in General Messages on February 11, 2014
Version 0.9.5 was released not too long ago, and the full version 0.9.5.1 was released as well. You may ask yourself, I am looking for updates in my wordpress dashboard and I don't see anything, how comes?
This is the exact reason 0.9.5 came to life, there was a critical bug related to a change made in the upgrade api by wordpress 3.8 which made transposh block all updates (including its own) from the dashboard.
So, what to do?
In order to upgrade to the latest full version, there are a few options:
- disable the current Transposh plugin, check for updates, update to version 0.9.5 from wordpress.org, activate the plugin, mark "allow update to the full version" and update again
- delete your current version of the plugin and install the version from wordpress.org and follow the update procedure
- manually download the latest version and just replace the files on your server.
We are truly sorry about this inconvenience
What else is new?
More languages were added to the Google engine, changing the total number to 82 supported languages!
What about 0.9.4?
It was a lovely version, fixed issues with the Google proxy support, we should have written a full post about it too, so 0.9.4, please accept our apology 😉
Enjoy the new version, and don't hesitate to inform us about any issues
Version 0.9.3 – Where did my flags go?
Posted by ofer in General Messages on May 10, 2013
They didn't go very far, please watch this video or read the instructions below.
What should you do to get them back?
Just upgrade to the full version using the following instructions:
- Upgrade to the latest version from wordpress.org (which will be the last, there)
- Check "allow upgrade to full version" in the settings
- Check for upgrades and perform the upgrade, that's all!
What's new in version 0.9.3:
- Update will work from our site
- Some bug fixes
- Ability to remove the rel=alternate which was not always useful
- (0.9.3.1) We have released a sub version to incorporate the new languages supported by Google, making our total count – 73! (If anyone here speaks Hmong, please contact us)
We hope you'll enjoy this version.
Goodbye wordpress.org
Posted by ofer in General Messages on May 1, 2013
Four years after going to the wordpress repository, and 189,795 downloads later, Transposh will be leaving the wordpress.org repository.
Apparently, all this time our widget had a link to our site, and although it was possible to remove it, this was against the wordpress.org guidelines.
This is a guideline that we can not accept, we believe that we deserve credit for our work. Not less than twitter, facebook, or any other well known company providing third party widgets out there.
We also can not accept the fact that our plugin will be removed without notice, and without any time to make changes, right out of the blue.
We can not accept that messages that we post on the plugin forum will be removed just because the moderators don't like them, or decide that they are against rules that they have created themselves. Rules they don't want to reconsider.
They are free to make any decision they like, after all, its their hosting and their rules. Can't ignore that, luckily enough we don't have to accept them.
If you want to complain, don't complain here, try and complain on the forums, but my guess is that you will be moderated, wordpress.org is not a democracy, nor is it a GPL compliant site, everything there must be free, in cost, and in speech, that is the reason you got tons of crippled plugins that only serve as promotion to a pro version. This is also what they suggested that we do with Transposh. And we don't like it, not one bit.
If a next version will ever be uploaded to that site, it will be a crippled version, (without any links here, for sure) and not the most usable version. The latest version (non crippled) will be served right here on the download page. To which we will now have to add an update mechanism.
Feel free to discuss this in the comments here.
So long wordpress.org, and thanks for all the fish.
Version 0.9.2 – 4 years and we don't break
Posted by ofer in General Messages, Release announcements, Software Updates on March 11, 2013
Yes, it was over four years since the first version of Transposh for wordpress was released. And indeed, we have come a very long way.
Transposh is being used by thousands of sites all over the web, and we have many happy users (and a few less happy ones ).
This version, 0.9.2, is not really what we expected to have by now, after four years we would have expected that a version one (maybe even two) will already have been released. But apparently, life does rarely proceed as you plan it to.
The title of this posts actually refers to a new behaviour of our parser, when we used to encounter an (which should be a non-breaking space) we actually broke the phrase into two, which is rather the exact opposite of what things should have been. So hopefully this is now fixed, and we'll no longer break!
Other changes include:
- Basic support for Woocommerce integration
- Override the case when other plugins or themes cause the process_page to be called prematurely
- Fix a nasty bug when the same translation appeared in a paragraph more than once
- Bing have added two languages
- Fix the bug reported by dserber disallowing language selection on post where translate_on_publish was disabled
- Update for .po files, Turkish Translation by Ömer Faruk Karabulut
You will enjoy this version! This is an order!
Version 0.9.1 – Improving constantly
Posted by ofer in General Messages on January 23, 2013
Should have posted earlier about 0.9.1 which is a rather nice version with some nice improvements. But we have waited for this extremely nice animation, made on Fiverr by an amazing animator, that happens to be related by blood to the team here
We have also created a nice Widget Gallery page, just go and see!
Other changes include:
- Added some help inside the Admin interface for very common questions (keys – no, you don't need keys by default)
- Allow jQueryUI version to be overriden, resolving many conflicts (old themes, all sort of components with unsorted versions of jQuery and jQueryUI)
- A fix when some bad plugins insert .css in an inappropriate way (this disabled the ability to see which languages were selecred)
- Added the transposh_echo function – see our development site for documentation and usage
- Fixes for widgets, easier inclusion with shortcodes, old dropbox fixes, ids removed
- Adding touch punch to admin, allowing language selection on touch devices
- Fixes for minor issues discovered since 0.9.0
What are you waiting for? Download the latest version now!
Version 0.9.0 – Ready, settings, go!
Posted by ofer in Release announcements, Software Updates on December 12, 2012
On the 12/12/12 (what a lovely date) at 20:12 (an appropriate time). We have released version 0.9.0 of our plugin. This version included a major rewrite of our settings and administration page. Moving from the single very long page with oh so many options to a slick tabbed interface.
This version is not only cosmetic but it also included two major features enabled by the settings new advanced tab:
1. Inclusion of debugging support: Now we will be able to give you better support using the plugin ability to create logs, and allow remote debugging.
2. Advanced parsing rules: This feature allows you to change the way texts are being broken for translation on your site. It allows a much finer granulation and fitting the engine to your specific use case.
However – be warned, those features, although well tested are marked advanced and experimental. Use them only if you understand what you are doing.
There are so many other features and bug fixes included, that many of them deserve their own post, but for now, lets go over the change log:
* A new language selection widget based on select2 (Very nice select box with flags)
* Added ctrl keys for quick navigation of previous/next blocks (Improves speed of working with the interface)
* A new option that allows to reset the configuration file to the recommanded defaults
* Css fixes for twenty twelve theme
* Avoid loading the subwidgets in the admin pages
* Removed distinction between editable and viewable languages, now a language can only be active or disabled
* Updating jQueriUI to 1.9.2 (jQuery should now be 1.6+)
* Fixes the z-index for the old style dropdown (patch by chemaz)
* Fixes the bug with the coupling of Chinese simple and traditional
* Fix bug preventing upgrade from very old versions
* Suppress notices when widgets are created directly with our function
* Avoid rewriting urls in the default language, mainly effected canonicals
* Our script is needed when the widget allows setting of default language
* Finally solved the problem with MSN translate and CR/LF
In the days following the initial release, three bugs have been uncovered and fixed, if something simple is not working, make sure to refresh your files.
Enjoy this version!
Version 0.8.5 – We support Lao too
Posted by ofer in General Messages, Release announcements on September 17, 2012
Well, Google just announced on their translate blog that they will support Lao, the official language of Laos, so we have added the code required and did a quick release with support to this language, which is also supported by One Hour Translation.
The version is already out for a few days but the real problem with getting this post live was finding a picture. We are not quite sure it is the most appropriate picture, but at least it rhymes.
Enjoy this new version.
Version 0.8.4 – Professional human translation is here
Posted by ofer in General Messages on September 7, 2012
We are very proud to present this release of our plugin.
This version, in addition to normal enhancements and bug fixes, finally integrates professional human translation with a basic integration with OneHourTranslation.com professional translation service.
The way this works is the following:
- Go to OneHourTranslaion.com and create an account
- Use the account details generated and insert them to Transposh's settings page
- When using the translation interface, an admin (and only an admin) will see a "One Hour Translation queue" button
- Pressing this button will add the phrase to a queue, another click will dequeue the item
- 10 minutes after the last phrase was added a translation project will be generated on one hour translation
- Give it an hour (or less from our experience) and the translations will appear on your site
- Everybody is happy and you actually support the Transposh project (Yay!)
This is rather new, so if Murphy strikes, just contact us and we'll do whatever we can to make things work.
Now, for the rest of this release:
- Fixed flag of Swahili to Tanzania as noted by Ed Jordan
- Lots of fixes to backup service
- Fix for a parser bug when having translate in default language following a select element
- Fixed XSS reported by Infern0_ (big thanks!)
- For programmers: Added a global function to return the current language "
- Seems like Lybia has a new flag too 😉
- Fixed widget IDs containing a backslash so that we'll pass w3c validation
- Updated jQueryUI to 1.8.23 to avoid conflict with jQuery 1.8 used by some themes
- Portuguese (Brazil) translation by Amilton Junior
Our operators are waiting for your feedback, if you get a busy signal, try contacting us again!
P.S. This is the very first version to have passed 1,000 daily downloads, we are humbled.

Senate confirms Kerry nomination for State Dept.
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 7:05pm EST
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Barack Obama's choice of five-term Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, with Republicans and Democrats praising him as the ideal successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The vote Tuesday was 94-3. One senator _ Kerry _ voted present and accepted congratulations from colleagues on the Senate floor. The roll call came just hours after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the man who has led the panel for the past four years.
No date has been set for Kerry's swearing-in, but in a letter to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Kerry says his resignation is effective at 4 p.m. Friday. The State Departments plans a welcoming ceremony for Kerry on Monday.
Obama tapped Kerry, 69, the son of a diplomat, decorated Vietnam veteran and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after four years. The Massachusetts Democrat, who had pined for the job but was passed over in 2009, has served as Obama's unofficial envoy, smoothing fractious ties with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"Sen. Kerry will need no introduction to the world's political and military leaders and will begin Day One fully conversant not only with the intricacies of U.S. foreign policy, but able to act on a multitude of international stages," said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who will succeed Kerry as committee chairman.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the panel's top Republican, called Kerry "a realist" who will deal with unrest in Egypt, civil war in Syria, the threat of al-Qaida-linked groups in Africa and Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Kerry, a forceful proponent of climate change legislation, also will have a say in whether the United States moves ahead on the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, a divisive issue that has roiled environmentalists.
Obama had nominated Kerry after Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, removed her name from consideration following criticism from Republicans over her initial comments about the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Voting against Kerry were three Republicans _ Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma and John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas. Absent from the vote were Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and John Hoeven, R-N.D.
"Sen. Kerry has a long history of liberal positions that are not consistent with a majority of Texans," Cornyn said in a statement. The senator is up for re-election next year and could face a tea party challenge.
Kerry's smooth path to the nation's top diplomatic job stands in stark contrast to the harsher treatment for Obama's other national security nominees _ Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary and John Brennan to be CIA director.
Hagel, the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska, faces strong opposition from some of his onetime GOP colleagues who question his support for reductions in the nuclear arsenal and cuts in defense spending. Lawmakers also have questioned whether he is sufficiently supportive of Israel and strongly opposed to any outreach to Iran.
Democrats have rallied for Hagel, and he has the announced support of at least a dozen members in advance of his confirmation hearing on Thursday. Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi will support Hagel, a spokesman said Tuesday, making him the first Republican to signal he will vote for the nomination.
Six Republicans have said they would vote against him, with some opposing Obama's choice even before the president's announcement.
Brennan faces questions from the GOP about White House leaks of classified information and from Democrats about the administration's use of drones.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., threatened to block the nomination of both men until he gets more answers from the Obama administration about the assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Graham, who earlier this month signaled he would delay Brennan's pick, said in an interview Monday night with Fox News' "On the Record" the he would "absolutely" block Hagel unless Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testifies about the attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton testified for more than five hours last Wednesday before the House and Senate, but that wasn't sufficient for Graham.
"Hillary Clinton got away with murder, in my view," he said. "She said they had a clear-eyed view of the threats. How could you have a clear-eyed of the threats in Benghazi when you didn't know about the ambassador's cable coming back from Libya?"
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters Tuesday that a hearing with Panetta on Libya is planned though the date is uncertain. Graham welcomed that news and said he would not thwart a committee vote on the nomination.

The North Carolina House has spoken on gun legislation.
House lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday that would relax current laws on concealed weapons, including permitting them on college campuses. They voted 78-42, and House Bill 937 will now be sent to the Senate for reading.
The bill additionally will allow concealed weapons on state property, sporting events and locations where alcohol is served and consumed. Those with carry permits will be allowed to keep their guns in a locked vehicle on campus under the legislature.
Amend Various Firearms Laws was filed in February and has had a series of amendments rejected before it passed a second reading in the House late Monday night.
While Lenoir Community College recently heightened security measures by adding armed officers, school administrators feel those personnel should probably be the individuals allowed to carry weapons on campus.
"I'm very concerned," said LCC President Brantley Briley. "I just don't see how having any type of weapon on this campus is going to move us into a safer environment. I am very unhappy that it's even being considered."
Under the current statute, it is a felony to carry weapons on campus. But private colleges and universities can opt out of the bill, while public schools — like LCC — cannot.
HB937 addressed college and university campuses, but LCC houses the Lenoir County Early College High School.
"Anybody can see a handgun in the car," said 16-year-old student Christian Johnson, who disagreed with the bill. "Somebody could steal it and run around campus waving it around."
Early College and LCC students share the same parking lot, leaving the high school students affected, as well.
Briley said he supports the right to bear arms, but he feels HB937 will compromise the safety of students, employees and visitors by allowing guns on campus, even if they are in locked cars.
"You have a situation on campus and everyone goes to their car and brings out their gun, you know?" Briley said. "I just think it's a step in the wrong direction. It just threatens safety and our ability to maintain control in adverse situations."
The local campus shares a building with Kinston's Basic Law Enforcement Training. While officers have to go through the program to carry a firearm, the weapons are not stored in the building. Rubber gun replicas are used instead.
Chief Brent Maupin, who heads the security guards at LCC, said he had mixed feelings about the bill.
"I'm kind of in the middle right now," he said. "I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not sure how much I support it. I have to do some more research. … If it does pass, we as security officers have to be more vigilant than we are now."
He has been tracking statements made across North Carolina about HB937. According to an article on WRAL.com, those backing the legislation say it protects the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, amplifies gun-related punishment in the state and is supported by the North Carolina Sheriff's Association.
Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill said it appears the bill changes and expands the concealed weapon laws in North Carolina.
"I am somewhat concerned about the increased storage of firearms in vehicles," he said. "We are now experiencing more and more vehicle break-ins and, in some cases, handguns have been stolen. These firearms will undoubtedly make it into the hands of someone who may not legally possess them."
Hill opposes people consuming alcohol while carrying a weapon. It is currently illegal to carry a firearm where alcohol is being sold or consumed but will be allowed if business owners permit it under the changed law.
"I don't see a need for it," said LCC student Marty Shoobridge. "You're coming here to go to class. I think it could (compromise safety) because I think people get disgruntled about things. If they don't like something, you never know what they can do."

Why study abroad?
-Victor C. Johnson, Associate Executive Director of Public Policy, NAFSA
There is a lot to learn in Kent, Ohio, but if you want to take yourself and your career to the next level, you need to hit the road once in a while because life abroad is transforming in just about every way.
Career Advancement
International education ignites a passion for understanding other people and their perspectives, [which is] essential to success in our increasingly diverse world. Students with international exposure come to understand the value of dialogue between people from different cultures and between people with different points of view. They also gain an understanding of the importance of relationships, ... the foundation for meaning and success in life.For almost three decades of my career at The Coca‐Cola Company, I lived and worked in Asia. From Singapore to Tokyo to Beijing, I learned about different local cultures by living and working in those cultures. It gave me a profound respect for how people are different, and also for how we are the same.
Those experiences shaped my career in a powerful way ‐ by shaping an appreciation for the cultural and intellectual diversity in our world. I'm fortunate today to have the opportunity to lead a company that is one of the most internationally diverse organizations on earth. We operate in nearly 200 countries, do business in some 125 languages, and employ people from over 215 different nationalities. Respecting and understanding the fundamental value of diversity is vital to who we are and the way we do business. Understanding and valuing different cultures has shaped my ability to lead our business, and it's an absolute imperative for anyone who works at The Coca‐Cola Company.
-Douglass H. Daft, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca Cola Company
Personal Growth
As important as academics were in view of my overall experience, I would say that the exposure I had to people of different cultures and ages and the increasing growth and maturity – both mental and intellectual – that resulted was an even more vital part of my overseas education. ... Each conversation with these people opened my mind a little more to a world larger and more complete than what I had known before my time abroad, and each conversation challenged my views – forced me to assess and re‐evaluate the views I held.
-Miriam Mossbarger, International Relations student, USC
-Katherine C. FitzSimons, Spanish, Journalism student, USC
Global Awareness
No one who studies abroad remains unchanged by the experience. Part of the change that occurs is the widening of a person's intellectual horizons and a dissolving of borders and boundaries. As the late Senator J. William Fulbright put it, "nations are transformed into people."
-Allan E. Goodman, President and CEO, Institute of International Education
-Alliance for International Education and Cultural Exchange

Today I have a really excting new post! This is a nail polish dupe review! I LOVE nail polish, and to find dupes on more expensive nail polish is exciting and cool. The polish I'm going to show a dupe for is Deborah Lippmann's nail polish " Happy Birthday".
The Deborah Lippmann nail polish is multi colored and not only is it a very pretty, but it is very expensive. I saw it on google and some dupes that looked extremly simliar to the Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish!
In the picture you can see how close they are in color! I have the nail polish by Wet and Wild in Party Of Five Glitters, which I got mainly for the holiday season, but when I did see the simliarity I was so excited!!! The prices of both of these nail polishes are insane!
I would totally recommend the wet & wild nail polish, seeing how it is way more less expensive than Deborah Lippmanns!

Wright Aeronautical R-1820-45 Cyclone
Gift of Edmund L. Robinson
The Wright R-1820 Cyclone was introduced in 1930 and was developed from earlier Cyclone engines of the 1920's. Wright had been manufacturing both air- and water-cooled engines and in the 1930's decided to concentrate their efforts on the R-1820 and stopped development of all other engines except the Cyclone. The Cyclone became a top-flight engine and versions were produced into the 1950's by several companies under license including Studebaker, Lycoming, and Pratt & Whitney. They were also built in the Soviet Union as the M-25 and in Spain as the Hispano-Suiza 9V.
Over its development lifespan, power was increased from 575 hp to up 1,525 hp. It powered many military and civilian aircraft, but is best known as the engine that powered the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in World War II. Versions of the R-1820 powered such other aircraft as:
This engine is located in the Civilian Hangar on the wall near the Waco YKC-S.

The May Fair
Stratton Street, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Mayfair
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In London, the hotel world's majorest of major leagues, even the big chains know which way the wind is blowing — away from that fusty manor-house look, and toward something altogether more clean-lined and contemporary. Nobody's about to mistake the old May Fair for the Sanderson, but after a top-to-bottom £70m renovation, it's looking shockingly up-to-date.
It's plain they've learned some lessons from the new breed of design hotels: the May Fair Bar is stylish and modern, packing in a hip West End crowd. Quince, a modern European restaurant with Moroccan influences, forgoes the usual formality of five-star dining for a more casual shared-plate approach, while the Cigar Room, encased in stainless steel mesh that allows the space to breathe, offers a nicely curated selection of rare and fine hand-rolled cigars. Upstairs, the bedrooms are still oversized and as luxurious as they come, and now they're utterly modern too, slightly minimalist in muted earth tones. And of course they're packed with all the modern must-haves, from forty-inch Samsung Smart TVs to high-end bath products.
A 201-seat private screening room is a rarity, to be sure, but the May Fair's spa is its crown jewel. It's vaguely Asian in design (as are all spas these days) and completely over-the-top — the best place for a mud bath after a long day of splashing cash all over the West End. Or all over the hotel — the May Fair's own Palm Beach Casino is among the biggest in town, and its atmosphere of old-world glamour is an inducement to high-stakes playing.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Last week we launched a brand new program for startup companies who had previously presented at 1 Million Cups, the Kauffman Foundation's weekly educational program that features two local startups presenting to the community over coffee. This new effort, launched with the folks at Dream Big America, will continue to put a spotlight on startup companies from throughout the country.
Dr. Todd O'Brien has additional challenges beyond those encountered by most startup life science CEOs. The 48-year-old podiatrist still sees patients even while developing his latest innovation: an electronic tuning fork for measuring diabetes-related nerve damage in people's feet. He's also building his company in Orono, Maine - far from any major healthcare hub.
DioGenix, in Gaithersburg, Md., was founded in 2009 after CEO Larry Tiffany and his senior management team saw a clear clinical need: monitoring disease progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Tiffany has an extensive background in biotech, as an IP attorney, and as a senior executive at small and mid-size biotech companies. Before DioGenix, he was senior vice president and general manager of genomics for another genomics research company, Gene Logic.
It's a cancer immunologist's dream to discover a safe and effective way to coax the body's own immune system into waging war against invading cancer cells. Building a startup company around that finding, though, is definitely not every scientist's forte. For Gary W. Wood, making the leap from laboratory to C-suite seemed like the next logical step.
There's no silver bullet for becoming a successful life science entrepreneur. But at a session on entrepreneurship and innovation at the FutureMed conference at Singularity University in the Silicon Valley last week, three panelists shared their tips on achieving entrepreneurial success.
One way for life science and digital health entrepreneurs to innovate: turn landmark literature into accessible, web-based programs.
That's what Omada Health, a San Francisco startup, has done for diabetes prevention. In a session on the future of intervention at the FutureMed conference at Singularity University in the Silicon Valley last week, the company's co-founder and CEO Sean Duffy explained the effort.

|Corn and tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapenos, make a fabulous popular Deep South dish all on it's own, but add in a little chicken, serve over rice and you've got a great main dish stew.
Chicken Maque ChouxMaque Choux, a dish that is said to have been passed down to the Cajuns by Native Americans, is a traditional south Louisiana dish. Sort of a smothered corn and tomato stew, and sometimes, as in this case, made with chicken. Maque Choux is perfectly good all on its own of course, making a great side dish for anytime, but I also love adding in chicken - which usually comes from a chicken that I have poached or roasted and stripped and then used the stock. This is also another great dish to add to the list of what to do with a deli rotisserie chicken when you're in a time crunch.
Maque choux (pronounced mock-shoe) like many southern dishes, had to have been born out of what was in season and needing to be used up from the garden - fresh tomatoes and corn being the key components. Course we are pretty much out of that season down here at the moment, but don't fret. While in this modern day it's possible to find both even in the midst of winter, it is also perfectly acceptable to use canned and frozen products for a pretty darned good maque choux.
You start off with a saute of some onion, bell pepper and garlic. Some folks like to add in celery too. Then you stir in some fresh, chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. If you like, add in a bit of chopped jalapeno. You can also substitute two cans of drained, diced tomatoes, one of them preferably Rotel, if you like.
Add the corn {and the milk from scraping the corn when you use fresh corn on the cob}, and a little sugar. Add in about half of the broth, or use the stock from the chicken if you poached one. Give it all a stir, bring it just up to a boil and then let that simmer about 15 minutes. To substitute, use two cans of whole kernel plus one can of cream style corn, or two small packages of frozen, and simmer for less time.
Stir in the additional chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, if it begins to get too dry. Some people use a great deal of butter, and often cream in this dish, but I like the flavor of the added chicken stock. You can certainly substitute additional butter, and milk or cream for part of the stock, especially if you are using canned or frozen corn.
Fold in the cooked chicken, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, and simmer covered until warmed through, another 10 minutes or so. Stir in a bit of cream at the end if desired...
...and you've got one pretty darned good and hearty stew.
Corn Maque Choux and Chicken Maque Choux are traditionally served atop a bed of hot, steaming rice. Eh, what's a few more carbs, right? Enjoy!

Recipe: Cajun Chicken Maque Choux©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3-4 cups of cooked chicken, torn into bite sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 1-1/2 cups of chopped onion
- 1 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of sliced pickled jalapenos, chopped
- 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth or stock
- 8 ears of corn, stripped and cobs milked
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Cajun or Creole seasoning, or to taste, optional
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup of heavy cream, optional
- Hot boiled rice
Heat the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot and saute the onion, and bell pepper until soft, but not brown. Add the garlic and saute another minute. Add the tomatoes and jalapenos; cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add half of the chicken broth, corn and the sugar, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring several times. Add additional broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, as needed, if stew gets dry. Fold in the cooked chicken, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, and simmer covered until warmed through, another 10 minutes or so. Stir in cream, if desired, in the last few minutes of cooking. Serve alone, or over fresh boiled rice.
Variation: To make this corn maque choux, omit the chicken and, if desired, substitute 1/4 pound of chopped tasso, smoked sausage, or bacon, if desired. Cook the bacon or sear the meat first, and remove before sauteing the vegetables. Add back in with the broth.
Cook's Notes: When fresh corn and tomatoes are not in season, substitute 2 cans of diced tomatoes, drained, and use 2 cans of whole kernel corn, drained, with 1 can of cream style corn, or about two 10-ounce packages of frozen corn. Overall, you'll need roughly 4 cups of corn, and you won't need to simmer it as long. Also, may substitute more cream or whole milk for part of the broth, if desired, especially when not using fresh corn on the cob.

TRENTON — Beer Army Outpost of the James City area is on its way to introducing Belgian blondes, Irish reds and pale ales to Eastern North Carolina after a groundbreaking Thursday at Industrial Park Drive across from the Family Dollar.
The outlet that specializes in craft beer selected
Owners of Beer Army looked at 26 locations — including sites in
Scott Andrews, public affairs officer for Beer Army, said the brewery will take up a 7,000-squre-foot warehouse area of the building and there will be 3,500 square feet of office space.
Andrews; Dustin Canestorp, founder of Beer Army; Jeff Brungard, brewmaster; and Matt John, assistant brewer, were on site for the groundbreaking.
"It's a huge day when you take into account we are breaking ground and getting our official brewing permit on the same day," Andrews said before the groundbreaking. "It is really exciting to see all the hard work paying off, and in a few weeks we will be brewing beer."
The grand opening will probably be in March or April, and that is when the brewery will began selling beer, Andrews said.
Some of the proceeds from an Irish red called "Fire in The Hole" will go to support the local fire department. Proceeds from the "Battle of Brocks Mill" brown ale will be used to support the local landmark, Andrews said.
Jayne Robb, of the Jones County Economic Development Commission and planning director for

People can see that progress at beerarmy.com.
"With the community outlook they have and the way they give back to the community, it will show strongly here because we are such a rural county," Robb said. "We are very excited as a community and as a county."
Andrews said in an earlier interview that
"Water is the main thing in brewing beer and they have great water," Andrews said. "We also wanted to go into a community that really needed us and where we could benefit too. A small town is just what we needed."
Beer Army Combat Brewery hopes to hire 18 to 24 employees over three years, Andrews said.
During the first year, Beer Army Combat Brewery plans to brew 3,000 half barrels, or 46,500 gallons, of beer that will include Indian pale ales, Belgian blondes, robust porters and Irish reds, Andrews said.
Plans are for the brewery to produce 7,000 half barrels in its second year and 15,000 the third, he said.
Once the beer is produced it will be sold in kegs to local bars and restaurants, he said.
The brewery will also have a tap room where people will be able to go and have a growler of beer and watch the brewing process.

Job One: Student Success
Kent State's Commitment to Diversity Starts at the Top
Building a diverse and inclusive environment is a critical component of the university's pursuit of excellence in all endeavors. In November 2007, President Lester A. Lefton formed the broad-based Commission on Inclusion, chaired by respected community leader the Rev. Ronald Fowler. Commission members charged with finding effective and financially feasible ways to create a more welcoming campus environment, and to take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge, talents and traditions within the university community, submitted 15 high-priority recommendations. Chief among them was the addition of Kent State's first cabinet-level diversity officer, Alfreda Brown, to oversee a new Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.The university recently established the President's Ambassadorship, a vehicle that brings distinguished, local minority professionals to campus to share their knowledge, insights and experiences. The first ambassadorship, held during 2010-11 by Cleveland baseball legend and business leader Andre Thornton, was a resounding success, generating positive feedback among students and the larger community, as well as positive media attention.

No. 1 seed Gonzaga (32-2)faces No. 9 seed Wichita State (27-8) Saturday at 5:40 p.m. in the third round of the NCAATournament. The game will take place at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City and be televised by TNT.
The Stats - The Shockers' defensive prowess was on display in their 73-55 second round win over Pitt. Gregg Marshall's team forced 15 turnovers and turned them into 21 points. Wichita State also held the Panthers to a 1-for-17 performance from beyond the arc. Their biggest strength is on the glass, where they entered the week with the seventh best rebound margin in the nation (8.4). Wichita State faces a Gonzaga team that has also shown the ability to clean the glass, ranked 11th in the same category. At 69.4 points per game WSUisn't an offensive juggernaut. They also struggle from deep, hitting 33.7 percent of their three-point attempts. Mark Few's team did allow Southern to hit 10 of their 23 threes, but on the year they've limited opponents to 38.2 percent shooting from the floor, 10th best in the country.
The Stars - Marshall fortified his bench bytaking forward Cleanthony Early out of the starting lineup. That was evidenct in Early's 21-point outburst against Pitt. On the year he leads the Shockers with 13.8 points per game. Guard Malcolm Armstead set the tone offensively with 22 points in their tournament debut. He posts just over 10 points per game on the year. Six-foot-eight-inch forward Carl Hall is second in scoring (12.8) and tops in rebounding (7.2). In Gonzaga's 64-58 win over the Jags Kelly Olynyk took control in the second half, scoring 10 straight GUpoints and finishing with 21 and 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Elias Harris will try and bounce back from his lowest-scoring outing of the season. The senior forward finished with five points on 2-for-10 shooting. Those two won't get many free passes against a physical Shockers' frontcourt. Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. got off to a good start in Salt Lake City, combining for 27 points on seven threes. Their contributions could again be key if the GU posts run into trouble like they did at times against Southern.
The Storylines - The Shockers got a confidence boost in their runaway win over Pitt. Meanwhile GU got pushed to the brink, and narrowly avoided becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose their tournament debut. Regardless of how it played out, the Zags got their 15th consecutive win. Now they take aim at their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2009. Wichita State hasn't made it past the first weekend since 2006. The squads have met just once, resulting in a 54-53 OTwin for the Shockers back in 1994. Both programs have come a long way since then, and hope to take another important step Saturday.

RYAN VREDE reports on the match where Gareth Anscombe scored all the Blues' points in a 29-23 victory over the Bulls at Loftus.
Where has this kid been? The Blues have kept faith with the mediocre Michael Hobbs (unavailable tonight) but the 20-year-old Anscombe has surely ousted him through this accomplished, all-round performance. His goalkicking was particularly impressive, outshining Morne Steyn, whose two from six return – the majority of those easy shots – was out of character.
The Bulls just never settled into a distinctive pattern despite bossing possession, territory and the set phases. Credit to the Blues, who, after building a 12-point lead at half-time, played intelligently and forced the Bulls into expansive attacks. The Blues held firm in defence, waiting for runners to isolate themselves then stifling the recycle or forcing infringements at the breakdown.
The Bulls started in the worst possible fashion, conceding a try three minutes into the contest when Anscombe snatched a loose ball and sprinted 50m to score and convert.
However, the Bulls rebounded well, profiting from a man advantage after Ali Williams had been binned with Pierre Spies rounding off a slick blindside move. The Bulls built immense pressure thereafter but butchered a number of scoring opportunities in the Blues' red zone. They will lament this period when they review the match.
Steyn had missed the earlier conversion attempt then sent an easy shot wide to further compound the Bulls' struggles. He traded penalties with Anscombe thereafter, but the latter was over the whitewash again just before the break, after a Bulls move broke down well upfield. Anscombe kicked the conversion to give the Blues a commanding 20-8 lead at the break.
Steyn banked three but Anscombe kicked a beauty from the touchline to keep the Blues' tally ticking over. And the Blues got better as the match progressed, exhibiting none of the tactical naivety that had marked their previous defeats. They punched up through phases and Anscombe continued his kicking masterclass, adding his fourth penalty of the evening to take his side 15 points ahead.
With seven minutes to go the Bulls set up a tense finish, Bjorn Basson scoring. But Steyn pushed his effort wide and despite a late try from Basson the Bulls never threatened to steal the points.
Their limitations when asked to chase a game were brutally exposed tonight. Their impotence is concerning but there is time to remedy their shortcomings in this regard.

English-M.A. and Ph.D.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|Department of English
113 Satterfield Hall
Tel: 330-672-2676
E-mail: email@example.com
Web: www.kent.edu/english
|The Master of Arts in English consists of three concentrations: Literature and Writing, Comparative Literature and a Concentration for Teachers.
Literature and Writing offers students a broad perspective of English studies while providing concentrated study in one area. The program achieves this goal with distribution requirements, electives and a required focus in either literary traditions, critical theory or rhetoric and composition. The degree prepares students for further graduate study in English and related fields, for professional training in such fields as library and information science, and for careers in teaching.
Concentration for Teachers is for teachers interested in advanced study of literature and writing. Coursework focuses on current scholarship and approaches to literature and writing. While not a degree in literary and composition pedagogy, it is designed to encourage the application of current literary and writing research to the work responsibilities of the practicing teacher.
Comparative Literature requires work in the broad range of fields represented in contemporary English studies and allows more intensive study of special interests through electives.
The Ph.D. in English permits students to focus on literary traditions and literary theory. Graduate students identify, investigate and theorize the social functions of texts in a variety of contexts both within and outside the academy, doing work that crosses the increasingly fluid boundaries that have begun to characterize the profession of literary and cultural studies. The program provides sustained focus on the social functions of all categories of texts (both literary and non-literary), including the conditions of their production, distribution and consequent use.
|Official transcript(s), GRE (waived for in-service teachers), goal statement, three letters of recommendation and an 8-15 page writing sample relevant to the field of study (writing sample waived for Concentration for Teachers concentration). All requirements are reviewed and evaluated holistically.
|M.A.: All graduate students are required to complete 33 hours of graded coursework. Student pursing the M.A. in Comparative Literature may elect the thesis option for 6 hours. Graduate students must take ENG 61000. All graduate assistants must also take ENG 61094.
Ph.D.: Students with an emphasis in literature are required to complete 27 hours of coursework beyond the Master of Arts. New graduate students without prior teaching experience must take ENG 61094. Students must also demonstrate proficiency in an approved language either by examination or by taking approved coursework in the language
|Ph.D.: Doctoral students must pass three written examinations in three distinct areas of English studies before being admitted to candidacy. They must also defend a dissertation prospectus.
|The English Department offers the M.A. in TESL, M.F.A. in Creative Writing and the Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition.
