Writing and Other Communication Standards in Undergraduate Business Education: A Study of Current Program Requirements, Practices, and Trends
Knight, Melinda, Business Communication Quarterly
In the last several years, communication faculty in business schools have feared that the International Association for Management Education's (AACSB) "50% rule," mandating that no more than half the courses for an undergraduate business degree can be taught in the business school itself, would eliminate their programs in the face of more powerful departments like finance, accounting, and marketing. Happily for the profession, the study discussed in this article suggests these fears are ungrounded. Business communication is thriving and is more likely than not to be a required core course in business schools. Specifically, the study examined current writing and communication standards in top-ranked undergraduate business schools. It aimed to identify existing practices, including the kinds of requirements in effect, the number of courses involved, the institutional home of these courses (whether in the business school or in a liberal arts department), and major skills stressed. This information is presented mainly in tabular form in this article. The discussion section identifies some trends that emerge from the study.
The study sample reflects the most recent, or rather only, ranking of the Top 50 undergraduate programs by U.S. News and World Report (1996) (available on the Web page: www4.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/catl2spc.htm). Such rankings are, of course, a potentially flawed source that may ignore many excellent schools. But the ranking helps to identify benchmark institutions for curricular redesign because students, faculty, administrators, alumni, and the larger business community take rankings seriously. Tied scores mean that the sample actually includes 52 schools. All these schools are accredited by the AACSB, another important factor in determining a useful sample, and they also represent a good geographical mix.
My original focus on "writing" shifted to reflect the realities of professional management education, which often includes oral communication; so oral communication requirements are also noted. To further examine the 50 percent rule, I recorded the institutional home of the business communication courses and related that to lower-division (often in the liberal arts) and upper-division courses.
Official Web sites of the 52 institutions provided the information for my study, with follow-up verification by e-mail. While Web sites are not always up to date, they provided an excellent starting point for gathering policies as well as course listings and syllabi. I often had to work my way through much contradictory information. Some universities did not include current catalogues, usually the most reliable source for current standards, at all; some of those that did used infuriatingly slow formats that could not be downloaded or copied. Some schools designed their sites more for promotional and marketing purposes than as workplaces for students, faculty, and staff to gain and verify important information about major and degree requirements. Despite its problems, the Web was a much more reliable and efficient source than a print survey for answering specific research questions. When data seemed confusing or contradictory, I followed up with direct contact via e-mail (about half the schools). An added benefit of such follow-up was finding out which programs were undergoing curricular revision and in what direction. Some administrators (typically deans or program directors) were also pleased to learn what parts of their Web sites needed revision. In two cases, I never received an official school response, so I used data from the official sites (omissions or instances of incomplete data are noted in the tables) that portray information directed to public audiences.
Tables 1, 2, and 3 summarize the results of the study. Table 1 records lower-division requirements in writing and oral communication. Table 2, which summarizes the data on upper-division courses, arranges the data by the courses' institutional homes. …

Auburn Names Rodney Garner Assistant Head Coach And Defensive Line Coach

Garner did great things for UGA and I look forward to his return to the Plains! So far I like what I am seeing on the coaching hires. Malzahn is hiring coaches that already know his system on the offensive side and at the same time is going after monster coaches and recruiters on the defensive side. This tells me he is committed to fielding a great defense. War Eagle!

|Cell Sheet Containing Mesenchymal Stem Cells - Mesenchymal stem cells are pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into myocardial and vascular endothelial cells. The present invention demonstrates that the mesenchymal stem cell sheet have therapeutic potential for a severely damaged heart due to its pluripotency and in situ self-renewal capability. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue were cultured to prepare a mesenchymal stem cell sheet. Four weeks after induction of myocardial infarction in rats, the mesenchymal stem cell sheet was transplanted to the heart. The mesenchymal stem cell sheet were readily engrafted to the surface of the scarred myocardium, grew gradually in situ, and formed a thick layer (approximately 600 μm) in 4 weeks. The grown transplanted mesenchymal tissue contained newly formed blood vessels, myocardial cells, and undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. The engrafted mesenchymal stem cells inhibited thinning of the myocardial wall in the scar area, and improved cardiac function and survival rate in rats with myocardial infarcts. Thus, mesenchymal stem cell sheet transplantation may represent a novel therapeutic approach for myocardial tissue regeneration.

Love him or loathe him, Maloneys done a great job with Price so far. He keeps Price in the public eye, AND keeps him busy. Price looks like he has the potential to be a Hattonesque ticket seller in my eyes, Price reminds me very much personality wise of a young Ricky. i.e the type of guy that the british public will buy into BIG time.
As for Skelton though, which punch actually hurt him? I struggled to see it. There for the payday, early towel thrown in just to make sure, nice little earner for the old yin, hardly went out on his sword. Bye bye Matt, but lets be honest, you wont be missed.

I have followed the developments of the One Week | One Tool project with great interest over the past seven days. Like everybody else, I'm very curious to see what the actual tool ends up being.
But whatever it is–and my knowledge of the people involved tells me that it's definitely not going to be a disappointment–other observations can already be made about the process based on what we do know so far.
And the key one for me is this: #oneweek shows the merits of monotasking. Or more broadly, that when you pull people out of their ordinary work environments and patterns and instead go full immersion in an environment focused on one thing, incredible things are possible.
I've seen the same thing happen with the summertime residential Virginia Governor's School program which my wife directed for five years. Her staff of fifty–a faculty made up of college professors and high school teachers from around the country and a committed, creative student life staff–built an incredible learning environment for four weeks that annually changed the lives of 400 gifted high school students.
One of the things that always struck me during the program was how hard it was to "break in" from the outside; sometimes frustrating, sure, when some banal but important thing having to do with scheduling some family event or question about a bill needed her attention. But mostly it was just an impressive testimony to the creation of this focused and finite world, the throwing up of barriers that cut out the rest of the "real world" so that the authors of the program could concentrate fiercely on creating something the world had never seen before.
I imagine this is what happens at Pixar during their creative process. It certainly happens at professional football training camps: players are pulled out of their daily routines and thrown in together to concentrate on this one thing at the exclusion of everything else.
Successful ingredients appear to include: a place apart, a finite length of time, a concentrated (and concentrating) group of people, a specific charge, and creativity.
The result? Magic. It happened at Governor's School, and it happened at #oneweek.
And the takeaway question for me: how can we replicate that effect in the ordinary workplace, where multitasking tends to rob us from this kind of approach?

Johnson returned home certain his life had been transformed. He found in Nazism a new international ideal. The aesthetic power and exaltation he experienced in viewing modernist architecture found its complete national expression in the Hitler-centered Fascist movement.

He had never expressed any interest in politics before. That had now changed. — Vanity Fair

Any modern interpretation deviating from that is simply the result of successful lobbying and misrepresenting of facts from the whack jobs at the NRA, in particular.

I oppose any and all gun control laws. Owning a gun is a right that is on par with freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion. The only way to reduce gun violence is to make gun laws less strict.

On display in the Music Library are a variety of facsimiles of musical manuscripts. Items range from a meticulous reproduction of the 15th-century Chansonnier de Jean de Montchenu, a heart-shaped collection of courtly love songs worked with gilt and fine hand illustrations, to a very convincing replica of the notebook page upon which Kurt Cobain penned lyrics for the iconic song Smells Like Teen Spirit.
The Archive of Recorded Sound (ARS) recently took an active role in two courses during the spring semester, one in the Stanford Music Department and the other in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric, to encourage students to deposit their final projects into the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR). The purpose of working with these courses was primarily to introduce students to the SDR and its many benefits, and to walk them through the process of using the SDR's self-deposit tool. This instruction was backed up by customized online screencasts that guided students through the deposit process for the particular sets of materials within their projects. The rate of deposit for both courses was extremely high as the professors in each case elected to make the deposit of final projects into the SDR a mandatory part of the courses' requirements.
The Brompton's Book of Violin and Bow Makers, by Jon Dilworth, is a biographical dictionary of violin (and viola, viola, 'cello and bass) makers as well as bow makers in Europe and the United States. Jon Dilworth, violin maker and connoisseur, spent many years collecting this information in part through his association with Amati Instruments Limited, in the form of note cards, photographs, and digital files. The work builds upon the corpus of knowledge of lutherie (the art and craft of making fine stringed instruments) established by earlier seminal works such as Henley's Universal Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers, Vannes' Dictionnaire universel des luthiers, and Lütgendorff's Die Geigen und Lautenmacher vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart.
The Archive of Recorded Sound is delighted to announce that the Richard Maxfield Collection (ARS.0074) can now be listened to online, via the collection's finding aid on the Online Archive of California. This collection features nine distinct works by electronic music composer Richard Maxfield, composed between 1959-1964, four of which are believed to be previously unpublished (Dromenom, Electronic Symphony, Suite from Peripateia, and Wind). Additionally, as Maxfield frequently produced unique edits of his work for each performance, many of the open tape reels that form this collection include alternative edits to those previously published, such as the tapes for Amazing Grace which feature three different versions of the work.
The Archive of Recorded Sound recently processed a number of important additions to the Blanche Thebom Collection (ARS.0059), courtesy of Phyllis Villec, a close friend of Thebom's for many years. These additions include a substantial number of programs, newspaper clippings, correspondence, ephemera, photographs, and personal documents spanning the mezzo-soprano's career.
One of the remarkable things about large digitization projects is that not just formal events are preserved but also informal events are preserved for future access. As a matter of process the Stanford Media Preservation Lab takes part in the preservation of media that captures these special informal events. Recently while working on a portion of the Allen Ginsberg papers many recordings were digitized but (at least) two recordings were re-formatted that informally capture his friendships with other important 20th century figures.

Letter from Haydn to Burney, September 14, 1799

There are two important items in the Memorial Library of Music related to Haydn's Creation: a letter written by Haydn to his English friend Dr. Charles Burney (1726-1814), who helped Haydn arrange for the initial sale of the English-language edition of the full score; and one of the earliest copies of that score, which bears Haydn's personal stamp on the title page. Burney is best known for his A General History of Music, (4 vols., 1776-89), a monumental publication that set a new standard for works on music history and historiography.
The Stanford Libraries recently acquired a collection of 214 libretti of French opera and ballets in first and early editions, from the 17th-19th centuries. The major concentration is in 18th-century material, with significant representation of the works of major composers of the period, Dalayrac, Duni, Grétry, Lully, Monsigny, Philidor, Alexandre Piccinni and Nicolas Piccinni. The inclusion of first and early editions provides the opportunity for comparison of first performances and revivals. Libretti are important records of performance history, often including details such as names of the cast, choreographers, set designers, dancers, and other musicians involved in the production.

Skip to comments.UPDATE FROM TEXAS! FREEPERS AND FRIENDS STOMP RADICALS WIN THE DAY FOR CAPITALISM!
Posted on 05/29/2002 9:08:11 AM PDT by ReaganGirl
MAF just called from the front lines of the Meyerson Center in Dallas where the counter protest is in full swing! I'll give you her run down of the Sham Mock Trial that our side totally disrupted last night. Then I'll tell you what's happening right now on the ground in Dallas!
Tuesday Mock Trial
The lefties of the Climate Justice Summit staged a mock trial holding ExxonMobile accountable for "crimes against humanity." As memory serves they stole that little title from Star Trek TNG where Q holds Piccard accountable for same. Nice to know they can come up with an original idea.
Our side gathered early in the day and had 48 people for protest training before loading into vans and heading for the Univ. Texas campus in Dallas. One of the organizers of the counter protest hosted the whole crowd for dinner at her home. What a peach!
Upon arrival at the UT Dallas campus our folks tried to enter the Student Union Center where the "trial" was to take place. The lefties panicked and called the cops who told our folks they would have to leave or be arrested. We had seven people dressed in Kangaroo costumes for the Kangaroo court and over 40 others there to cheer on Niger Innis and others who had asked to testify on behalf of Exxon Mobile. They were of course denied access and were even told by the lefties that "they had scripted the trial and were not letting anyone deviate from the script.
The lefties in attendance totaled a whopping 8 people. LOL so our side had them outnumbered almost 5 to one. At some point one of the lefties offered to let our people sit in the room but our folks declined. Being there would have only made the room look full for the press and we certainly were not going to assist them in their cause.
Our folks left and returned to the home of one of the organizers for cake and sign painting. Thus ended day one.
The day began at 7:P30 am with a head count. Our side had 98 pp and as of 10:30 had grown to well over 100. MAF things it's around 125 but will get a final head count and report back later. While most of our protestors are from Austin, Dallas and Houston there are many who made much longer journeys like Sauropod who came all the way from Baltimore! Sauropod, you rock!
As we were speaking she literally counted the heads of the protesters on the other side -- a whopping 43 people.
The police allowed our folks to set up right outside the Meyerson center and many of the ExxonMobile shareholders attending the meeting stopped to thank our folks for being there and supporting them. They even asked that our folks post our extra signs and American Flags on the fence around the building. It was awesome!
The Lefties:
The lefties arrived at the protest this morning in an old, gas guzzling ford van pulling a U-haul full of props. This is ironic since they are there to protest an oil and gas company that they charge is responsible for global warming and wrecking the environment. MAF was also told by one of them that they would be leaving in a hurry on their gas guzzling bus to get to DFW. They have to catch their jet planes back to Washington and New York. LOL
One of their props is an Oil Pump with card board flames all around it and the American Flag right in the middle of the flames. It's their way of burning the flag without actually setting the fire.
They also have a balloon of the globe with red paint spattered all over it. One can only presume what that is supposed to mean.
Their sign s read:
Solar Power = Solar People Our Planet their Profits
Freepers are joined in this effort by Citizens for a Sound Economy, the Council for Racial Equality and several other organizations.
We have several people in costumes such as Alice in Wonderland, The Exxon Tiger, a Shark and there is even a guy in a Grinch costume carrying a sign that says "The Grinch who Stole Capitalism."
Other signs include:
Oil - You Can't Leave Home Without It; I never got a job from a poor person; Down with Bugs - Up with People; Free Markets = Free People; Radicals Want your Job; Oil - Black Gold, Texas Tea and Stop Global Whining.
They're really having a blast! Great Job MAF for organizing the Freepers of Texas for this one!
He was asking her things like "Don't you just want to close the EPA" and "Why do you Texans have to drive everywhere?"
He then stated matter of factly that they were there to protest for everyone to have equal wages. MAF stopped him dead in his tracks and said "No, you want everyone to have $15 an hour for not working." She then asked him how all his little protester friends got their all cotton shirts. (Not exactly a cash crop in Seattle) How would they transport goods around the country without companies like ExxonMobile and others?"
Good score MAF. Keep them on their toes.
Please know that I was not slighting you by not mentioning your names, I just don't have all your names.
God bless everyone who showed up this past two days in Dallas and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being there.
Kudos to MAF and the Texas freepers!
What a peach is right! I've had the pleasure of visiting Texas several times, and I'll tell you that there's *nothing* like good ol' Texas hospitality. Fine, fine people down there in the lone-star state! No better people on the face of the planet, IMO.
You freepers ROCK! Great job!!!
Only about five stragglers remain of their rag-tag group! Our folks are still there in full force.
Lefties give up so easily
Big Texas Bump!
Where I come from we would call that "stinkin thinkin"
She snuck in to the mock trial to take notes last night. She said that they had this huge (and yet empty) auditorium at UT Dallas. They had a pannel of three Judges on the bench. One of them said that he was from Palestine.
There was no American flag anywhere in the room but that there was an enormous United Nations emblem on the wall over the judges.
It was announced that this was a "Mock Trial before the International Criminal Court."
Texas says Thank You! to all the organizations that made this possible.
Don't Mess With Texas!
Texas FReepers......gotta love em!

Paul served on Ursuline's Board of Trustees from 1995 to 2002 and as Chair from 1997 to 1999.
Paul's service goes beyond the walls of Ursuline Academy, as he's also advised and served the Ursulines of Brown County, and Chatfield College.
Currently, Paul serves as the Chair of the Ursuline Foundation Board and has for more than a decade. In that vital work, he has offered counsel during critical times of transition for Ursuline, ensuring that Ursuline is, and will continue to be, strong.
Paul and his wife, Terri, have four children: Brian Muething, Julie Muething '98, Lisa Muething Smith '02, and Maggie Muething '05.
The Outstanding Leadership Award was established in 2012 to recognize and honor alumnae, parents, or friends of Ursuline, for their loyal and exceptional volunteer leadership at Ursuline Academy.
Starting with their support of their daughters, Ann '99, and Lee '01, Rick and Vicky Reynolds have been fantastic supporters of Ursuline, and St. Angela's vision. In 1999, Vicky and Rick established the Vicky and Rick Reynolds Endowed Scholarship, and have supported the scholarship ever since.
Thanks to their scholarship, dozens of students have benefitted from the Reynolds' generosity and support of Ursuline. In addition to those students who have directly benefitted from these scholarships, thousands of students benefit from the community that is built because each student who should be at Ursuline is able to come.
Vicky and Rick have three children: Anne Reynolds '99, Lee Reynolds '01, and David Reynolds.
The St. Angela Merici Leadership Award was established in 2004 to recognize those benefactors whse extraordinary generosity to Ursuline spans many years. It honors their continued commitment to St. Angela's vision of educating young women.
Dianne was in the last class of women who attended Ursuline for 13 years. She began at Oak Street, and then came to Blue Ash. It is a wonderful metaphor for the wisdom that Dianne brings to everything she does for Ursuline: she understands and values the traditions fostered in the beginning years of Ursuline on Oak Street, and she knows the valuable importance of growth and development that Ursuline has experienced in Blue Ash.
In her service to Ursuline, it is fair to say that Dianne has done everything. No job was too small or beneath her. If it was in service of the school, she did it. She has worked as a substitute teacher, she has volunteered for the Auction and the Raffle, she has participated in Make a Difference Day, and she served on the Boosters. Most recently, Dianne served on Ursuline's Board of Trustees for six years, and during that time, she chaired the Strategic Plan committee for three years, and she served on the Marketing Committee as the group developed the "Voice. Values. Vision." positioning work.

Be Quiet and Drive
- Artists Arnaud Le Texier, Himan
- Release Date 2010-06-16
- Labels Safari Numerique
- Catalog SAFNUM004
Fourth release in and Safari Numerique, the sibling of the Electronique imprint, returns with a debut for an exciting new artist for us to keep an eye on, Himan.
Himan aka Eduard Tavares like many, found his first musical influence in rock music. A discovery of electronic music followed and whilst the likes of Vath, Larkin, Hawtin and Dice drew him to the techno arena, he also full explored other styles.
2007 saw Himan fall head over heels for the Reason music software. A programme that enabled him to put his many musical ideas into practice. Not bound by genres, Himan's style is uncertain and unpredictable. With releases lined up for Connaisseur Recordings and Galaktika Records, it gives us great pleasure to present to you his Safari Numerique release, the 'Be Quite and Drive' EP.
A stunning three track selection that demonstrates of host of sounds and influences, many from the classic days of Detroit and Chicago. Deep, jazzy and wonderfully executed. All backed by a remix of the title track from label chief Arnaud Le Texier. What more could we ask for?
Andre Galluzzi - "Be Quiet & Drive is nice one."
Anthony Collins - "Arnaud remix for me."
Martinez - "Its Not Her is a cool tech groover."
D'Julz - "Very cool EP, full support."
Jimpster - "Really like the sound of I Dont Know. Gonna try it out."
Nick Curly - "Arnaud Le Texier Sweat Mix is nice one."
Sis - "Cool release."
Michel de Hey Cool chords on Be Q and I Don't, very tasteful!
Diesel (X-Press 2) Liking this Le Texier remix for me.

Biking will kill off some Obama supporters, says Anti-Strib blogger
The latest from the Anti-Strib blog is sure to get hardcore bikers and Sen. Barack Obama fans riled up. After recent reports of deaths and injuries due to the increasing numbers of commuters taking to their bikes for a primary mode of transportation, the Anti-Strib blog says it might help Sen. John McCain win the election.
Quotes after the jump.
According to the latest post on the site:
If you are biking to save the environment, keep it up and the law of averages says we'll have a few less Obama voters in November.
The blogger also takes a shot at low-income bikers:
If you are biking because you are poor, get a second job and take the bus. Odds are you might just be seriously hurt and then you'll be even poorer.
The blog labels itself as "a conservative blog that works to correct the lies, distortions and half-truths of the liberal MSM, particularly the Minneapolis Star Tribune."
We know blogging often hits pretty low, but this is really disheartening. In a week when many people across the Twin Cities are mourning the deaths of loved ones due to bike accidents, this isn't the best time to turn their grief into a tirade against Democrats.

Re: 7D and mostly Tamron 18-270 pictures on my new website
Yeah, you're right with the downsampling and judging sharpness. But hes, to be honest hom amany of us print their millions and million of pix on paper bigger than 30x45 cm? Me not, and for this size I see now difference to my nice sigma 17-50, 2.8 is. By the way I also had first the Tammy 17-50 and changed it against the sigma cause the difference was really significantly visibil, even in normal size on the screen of the camera.

Last week, the Twitterverse was gifted a priceless nugget when film director Ava DuVernay and her guild, AFFRM, released the second trailer for her anticipated movie, Middle of Nowhere. The acclaimed project, which highlights the women and families that mass incarceration leaves behind, earned DuVernay the coveted Sundance Film Festival award for Best Director. Around the globe, women rejoiced; in a male-dominated industry, it is rare for a woman to be bestowed with such an outward validation for her work. After all, women "comprised just 18 percent of all directors, executive producers, producers, writers, cinematographers and editors working on the top 250 domestic grossing films in 2011," according to the Center for Study of Women in TV and Film.
But DuVernay's feat is especially significant because she is the first African-American woman to be awarded this honor. Not only does a Sundance award elevate the film's exposure and DuVernay's influence, but it also ranks her in the elite assemblage of black women directors. There are a scarce number of successful black women behind the camera in Hollywood and there are even fewer who garner recognition for their gifts.
This is not a unique statistic. Minorities, including women, are underrepresented in media. A degree in rocket science isn't required to realize that the seats behind the executive boardroom table aren't filled with blacks, Hispanics or women, but without our support and investment during opening weekends, these films wouldn't be as successful. The imbalance between studio executives' need for us to propel their box office totals and the lack of black women's input in these projects is immense. But why does this exist to begin with and what is the detriment caused by lack of representation?
Yvonne Welbon, Ph.D., a filmmaker and professor at Bennett College, an all-women's institution designed to educate black women, went on a quest to discover other African-American women directors in her doctoral thesis turned documentary, Sisters in Cinema. On her website she writes:
I began this project because I only knew the name of one African American woman director when I started film school. And, even though I knew the name, Julie Dash, I had never seen any of her films, and had no idea why or how she became a filmmaker. I didn't even know what she looked like. I learned that I was not alone. I heard over and over again, 'I didn't know there were any black women filmmakers.' So, I set out to find my sisters in cinema.
In her interviews with leading directors, including Maya Angelou, Ph.D. and Julie Dash, Dr. Welbon discovered that the lack of black women behind the lens is a direct result of major Hollywood film studios being hesitant to distribute films for that demographic of viewers. Even as Tyler Perry and T.D. Jakes rake in millions at the box office (Perry's latest effort, Madea's Witness Protection, has grossed $60,289,622 since it was released one month ago), film studios are still unwilling to put their funding behind projects directed by black women.
Let's put this into context: Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney/Touchstone Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Fox are the six top Hollywood studios in the United States according to research compiled by The-Numbers.com, a website dedicated to analyzing the market shares of movie studios. The "Big Six" are responsible for approximately 90 percent of the world's film revenue. These companies also dominate the distribution of television, music and printed materials including books. In essence, these companies control what the world perceives as American culture. Combined, these six studios have released less than five major motion pictures directed by African American women according to Sisters in Cinema.
In 2011 alone, the Big Six released almost 20 films, which equals almost 200 movies in a decade when calculated. Since 1989, when Euzhan Palcy inked the first deal with a major film studio, only four other movies directed by black women have received studio funding. And that almost didn't happen. Initially, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) was uninterested in producing and distributing Palcy's movie, A Dry White Season, because they claimed that with the simultaneous release of A Cry for Freedom, movies on South Africa's tumultuous history would oversaturate the film market.

But for now, it's rare to see it work. Try it if you must but from what I've seen, rarely works.
Can you use a usb hub with a smart tv to give you more connections.
Welcome to the Samsung forum on CNET! Samsung worked with CNET to create a forum where people can ask questions and talk about all Samsung products and get help with everything from HDTVs, Smart TVs, home theater components, phones, cmaeras to monitors and printers. This forum is staffed by Samsung employees, but as we have seen in the past, often the most helpful answers come from CNET forum members themselves so please don't consider this just a Q and A with Samsung. This is a CNET forum and Samsung is here to be part of the conversation. Enjoy!
Can you use a usb hub with a smart tv to give you more connections.
Not sure if my answer helps anyone :). Thought of posting for anyone looking for help.
Below are the devices tested with my Samsung smart tv '40ES5600' and a cheaper portable USB 2.0 hub and multi card reader which doesn't have any power source.
1. Western Digital 1TB My Passport portable HDD with 2 NTFS drives
2. Sandisk 16GB pendrive
3. Sandisk 16GB SD card
4. Sandisk 8GB Micro SD card
5. Nikon D5100 SLR camera
6. Nokia Lumia 720 mobile
7. Apple iPhone 4S
8. Apple iPad 2
My smart TV has only two USB ports and one goes for the Wi-Fi dongle leaving only one port for so many devices. Have been exploring different forums for help on USB hub support for my smart TV, but didn't get much. Also, TV doesn't have a card reader slot as well.
Decided to try my luck with a portable 3-port USB hub with multicard reader which is plug n play and costing less than 5$.
YouTube link below:
Results below with devices connected to USB hub and USB hub to the remaining USB port on TV
All my WD drives on 1TB HDD show up in my TV source as 'My Passport(1)' and 'My Passport(2)'
16GB pendrive and SD cards show up as well without any issues.
Smoothly able to play photos, movies and videos from these devices.
Nikon SLR and Nokia Lumia show up in the TV source listing as a camera and able to play photos from these. However, can't play videos from these as 'allshare' on my TV doesn't list these devices for 'video' play and lists only for 'photo' play. But, this is nothing to do with the USB hub and these devices behave the same when directly connected to TV as well.
Apple iPhone 4S gets charged when connected to USB hub just like when connected to laptop. Gets listed in the TV source as a camera, but can't play photos. IPad doesn't get charged when connected to USB hub as it doesn't get charged when connected to laptop as well. iPad gets detected by TV, but can't play photos.
Ultimately, pretty happy with the results I got with the USB hub I got for the money spent on it:)
Tried a basic usb hub heres my results upto now
Test 1 2 portable harddrives fail clicking and red light flashing I presume from previous experience its a lack of power
Test 2 hardrive usb memory stick16gb bluetooth receiver for optical mouse works fine
Test 3 hardrive usb memory stick pre formatted on tv for recording. Started to record programme everything working fine but then tried accessing hardrive while still recording caused tv to go daft started bringing up short cuts on screen for each drive unable to turn tv off from remote had to unplug drives from hub to get control back. Conclusion partial success
Final thoughts can use a hub on suitable tvs but with some limitations.
Thanks to gt techie for your input.

DETROIT (AP) -- A Detroit firefighter has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of a 41-year-old bar disc jockey during a shootout on the city's west side.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says 35-year-old Terrill Hardaway is expected to be arraigned Wednesday morning in 36th District Court in Detroit.
Worthy says Hardaway entered the bar on Dec. 29, 2012, and got into a fight with Tony Jackson.
The prosecutor says security guards took the men outside where the fight continued.
Worthy says both pulled handguns and started shooting.
She says Jackson was hit with more than one slug and was pronounced dead at a hospital, while Hardaway was shot in the shoulder.
