Classes were great. The Israelis were very interested in international students and were really friendly in class.
The University of Haifa is the most pluralistic institution of higher education in Israel: sons and daughters of both veteran cities and development towns, kibbutzim and moshavim, new immigrants, Jews, Arabs, and Druzes, IDF officers and security personnel — all sitting together on the bench of knowledge in an atmosphere of coexistence, tolerance, and mutual respect.
There are approximately 17,000 students studying toward a degree (B.A., M.A., or Ph.D.). The University offers six faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences and Science Education, Law, Social Welfare and Health Studies and Education. The University also offers five schools: Business Administration, Social Work, History, Public Health and Political Sciences.
The Global Law Program, which offers courses in the spring semester, brings together students from around the world for intense study of numerous aspects of law both internationally and in the context of Israel and the Middle East. International students study alongside Israeli students in law courses taught by visiting faculty from around the world as well as professors from the Faculty of Law at the University of Haifa.
The Global Law program at Haifa University combines excellent academic training in intellectual property and business law with high level practical experience in patent drafting, patent application and technology transactions. This unique comprehensive training provides the necessary background for practicing patent law in a global environment.
Students opting to study at the University of Haifa will take a minimum of (12) credits in masters level courses focused in the areas of comparative and international law, intellectual property law, economics and health law. This equates to Haifa's requirement that full-time students in the International School must take a minimum of (12) credits. However, a normal course load is between (15-16) credits. All of the courses in the International School are upper level undergraduate courses, even if they contain introductory subjects. Haifa University also offers classes in graduate level patent law.
View a full array of classes.
World Trade Organization Law
The Law of the World Trade Organization (WTO), or World Trade Law, provides the most important international law framework for the regulation of trade in goods (GATT), services (GATS) and trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPs) by its 153 members (including the European Union). Contrary to other international organizations and fora, the WTO avails itself of an elaborate dispute settlement mechanism including a standing Appellate Body. The course will cover the historical development of the world trade order from the signing of the GATT (1947) to the foundation of the WTO (1995), the most relevant substantive legal principles applying to the WTO members (the most-favoured-nation principle, the national treatment principle, the tariffs-only principle etc.), the specific regulatory approach of the GATT, GATS and TRIPs, and the institutional structure of the WTO, including the settlement of disputes
European Union Law
This course provides an introduction to the law of the European Union (EU). We will discuss the theories of European integration and examine the constitutional and institutional structure of the EU. Substantial attention is devoted to the examination of the division of powers among the EU institutions and between the EU and its member states. Other topics include the enlargement of the EU, evolution of Fundamental Rights, the substantive law relating to the Common Market and the external relations of the EU.
The Regulation of Competition in the IT Sector – An EU Perspective
Although state monopolies in telecommunications are history, repercussions of that period are still palpable. Another factor giving competition in the information technology sector is network effects which create a tendency towards natural monopolies. The task of competition law in that context is to keep markets open and to prevent abusive practices. The course will present the EU approach to these questions. The most prominent cases will be studied, for example Microsoft, Intel and Google. Additionally, the case law will be connected with the broader categories of innovation, intellectual property rights, standards, interoperability and strategic behavior.
Non-Monetary Remedies
This course examines the law of non-monetary remedies. It will focus on remedies such as injunctions, declaratory judgments and apologies. Many of the readings are theoretical or historical, and they focus primarily on the place of non-monetary remedies in the U.S. legal system. The questions addressed go much deeper for the law of remedies implicates fundamental questions about justice and the design of a legal system, including what it means to satisfy a wrong, the optimal timing of adjudication, access to courts, and judicial discretion.
Haifa is Israel's foremost port city for international commerce and the center of the Israeli tech sector. Two of the most distinguishing features of this dynamic city are its physical beauty and its cosmopolitan population of 400,000 Jews, Christians, Muslems, and Druze living in harmony. Haifa provides a wonderful environment for almost any kind of recreational and cultural activity. Surrounded by abundant natural sites, the city contains an interesting mix of modern neighborhoods and older districts, churches and mosques, mountains and the sea. A number of cinemas, restaurants, cafés, and discos provide entertainment until the early hours of the morning while Haifa's beaches and the Carmel National Forest provide recreation throughout the day.
Haifa's proximity to the sea and its active port have helped develop this city and make it a center of maritime industry. The port draws merchants, shoppers and tourists to both its business center and the beautiful beaches. Due to the excellent surfing conditions, it's also known as one of Israel's top sailing locations, hosting a number of sailing and surfing competitions.
The campus of the University of Haifa spreads along a Carmel Mountain ridge southeast of the city of Haifa and is surrounded by the Carmel National Park. The University was established in 1963 under the joint auspices of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Haifa Municipality. In 1972, it gained academic accreditation as a separate institution from the Council for Higher Education.
Research is concentrated in centers and institutes on a wide variety of subjects and fields. Among them: study of psychological stress, information processing and decision-making, evolution, the Holocaust, maritime studies, natural and environmental resources, shipping and aviation, and the family. Research facilities include: the Jewish-Arab Center, the Herzl Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel, the Center for Study of Crime, Law, and Society, the Center for the Study of Pilgrimage, Tourism and Recreation, the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Emotions, the International Brain and Behavior Research Center, the Center for Democratic Studies, the Center for Law and Technology, the Center for Research of Education for Peace, and the Center for National Security Studies and Geostrategy. IBM sited its largest research center outside the United States on the University campus.
Each year the International Programs department and the Office of Financial Aid work together to create an appropriate semester or year budget for the program.

6 Substances That Wipe Their Ass With the Laws of Physics
Physics is a bastard that can't be trusted. Just walk off a cliff and see how willing it is to turn on your "I love science!" ass with the slightest provocation. Luckily, humanity has its ways of sticking it to the laws of matter and motion. We pointed it out before, but it's worth reiterating that modern geniuses are more than capable of mooning physics with the twin butt-cheeks of innovation and technology.
#6. Graphene Can Do Almost Anything
Visible to the human eye in a layer that's only one atom thick, able to bend into shapes that would make your mom blush (no small feat, the strumpet), and pound-for-pound quite probably the strongest material in the world -- graphene is undoubtedly a bad motherfucker.
In fact, it shows incredible properties in almost every field of strength and conductance. It transports electrons 10 times faster than silicon, and may soon be replacing it as the go-to material for transistors and computer parts. If that's not impressive enough for you, how about the fact that graphene is technically a plastic, so it should have no business conducting electricity -- yet here it goes like it ain't no thing.
BBC, via Youtube
It's the plastic equivalent of that cool guy at the bar who keeps calling people "baby girl."
We're talking about "charging iPhones within five seconds" conductivity here. Imagine a world with electric cars that recharge as quickly as filling your tank with gas, or paper-thin foldable plastic phones that recharge the instant you set them down -- that's exactly what graphene offers.
BBC, via Youtube
Great. Even douchier phone snobs. Thanks a lot, you stupid scientific miracle.
And then there's the slight matter of its strength. Mix graphene with metals, and it increases their resilience 500-fold. But hell, you've been around the block. You've seen a few fancy new materials in your day -- lithium-ion batteries? Carbotanium? -- we'll forgive you if you stifle a yawn at mere strength and conductivity claims.
So here, meet graphene aerogel, one of the lightest materials in the world -- seen resting on a delicate plant without so much as bending the spines.
Zhejiang University
That's right, the future will finally give us a phone that's safe to accidentally drop on our balls.
So yeah, our friend Gary told us he heard that graphene is currently taking applications for "its bitch," if you wanna go ahead and submit a resume.
#5. LiquiGlide Makes a Fool Out of Friction
LiquiGlide is an insane, super slippery coating that prevents literally anything from sticking to it. Here's a LiquiGlide-coated ketchup bottle:
LiquiGlide, via Youtube
Good things come to those who don't waste their entire day trying to eat fries.
That was Round 1. Here's Round 2, in which LiquiGlide takes on a new challenger -- mayonnaise:
LiquiGlide, via Youtube
We wouldn't have thought mayonnaise could move any grosser, but there it goes.
Hahaha, you have no power here, condiments.
The obvious worry (since it's being demonstrated on food containers) is whether or not the stuff is safe for consumption -- after all, even non-stick mayo isn't worth it if it gives you a night of Olestra-caliber non-stick intestines. Fear not: LiquiGlide is made of completely edible, flavorless materials. Feel free to coat your dishes with the stuff, and never again worry about washing up!
Of course, you will have to worry about the slightest arm motion sending your frictionless mac-and-cheese Frisbeeing off your plate and across the living room -- but hey, just LiquiGlide the walls and you're all set. And the floors. And the couch. LiquiGlide everything.

Who would have thought the world wound end this way? Not with a bang, but the soft shuck of everything on Earth softly sliding away into space.
#4. Spray-on Batteries Turn Anything Into a Power Source
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
One of the greatest daily struggles of modern life is the Scourge of the Empty Battery. If you've ever been three quarters of the way to "there" when your tablet died and all of your PornHub tabs cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced, science has got your back. Researchers at Rice University are not the first to tackle the battery issue, but their solution is by far the most elegant: They're planning to wave the conventional battery goodbye and replace it with a battery compound that can be spray-painted on any surface.
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Yes, batteries. Now who feels stupid, officer?"
Here's how it works: A conventional lithium-ion battery is made of the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. These ingredients are assembled to form the physical battery that we all know and are constantly disappointed in, like the parents of a Liberal Arts major moving back home after graduation. The scientists turned it into spray form by simply liquefying each of the components, presumably while stroking a white cat and muttering about how they've failed for the last time.
The technique seems to work on pretty much any material, from steel to wood to ... novelty beer steins?
Ajayan Lab/Rice University, Jeff Fitlow/Rice University
Time to party like a properly certified electrician.
Hey, nobody said you had to science sober, did they? All you have to do is spray the battery over a surface ...
Rice University, via Youtube
... and it can start powering your device instantly.
Rice University, via Youtube
"At last, the world will know my preferred side dish."
Researchers have found that an object turned into a power source with the battery-spray treatment is currently able to keep a set of 40 LEDs working for six hours, and it's completely rechargeable. However, as enticing as powering your laptop with a novelty drinking accessory may seem, it's worth remembering that the technology is not exactly at commercial stage yet. Constructing a functional spray-on battery requires multiple layers of different "paints," and attaching one to your gadget of choice requires a fair bit of creative wiring. But it's all worth it when you power on your Xbox using only that Amish man's beard and note the exact second he sees the devil.

It's a heady sensation to walk on air. Not that I've literally done it, but it's the feeling I had as I walked over the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Located near Vancouver, it's a 450 foot walk suspended 230 feet above the river and canyon floor.
Okay, so maybe this walk on air isn't the smoothest - one of their own slogans is, "Reassuringly wobbly since 1889!" But it is an incredible sensation to find yourself in midair, able to take in the sweeping view of nature that lies in all directions. Not quite as wobbly is the nearby Cliff Walk. A series of walkways suspended from the sheer granite cliff gives you that same walking-on-air experience.
It wasn't enough to walk above the treetops, I also had to walk among them! The park also had a series of suspension bridges which took you through massive old-growth Douglas fir trees. The platforms are built right around the trunks in such a way as to not inhibit any growth.
We're in the big city now, Vancouver proper, hours away from heading home. It has its own type of beauty, with nature and the water's edge on prominent display. Still, our journey into the sky is one I know I will never forget.

NEW CUMBERLAND - If Pat Jones is elected mayor of New Cumberland on Tuesday, he'll have one challenge to face right out of the starting gate - whether he can stay employed as the city's full-time water operator.
Jones, 59, said he intends to stay on as water operator if he is elected mayor, but he may have to get permission from the West Virginia Ethics Commission to do so.
In a series of legal opinions, the commission, which enforces the West Virginia Governmental Ethics Act, has consistently ruled that the mayor of a town cannot also be employed by the municipality - unless the city obtains a hardship waiver known as a contract exemption, said commission Executive Director C. Joan Parker.

Pat Jones
The Ethics Act prohibits, among other things, conflicts of interest and the use of public office for private gain. It also prohibits elected officials from having an interest in a public contract over which they exercise control.
"It's come up in lots of towns, especially small towns, over the years," Parker said. "The philosophy behind those rulings is that, by municipal code, the mayor is the CEO of the municipality, and, so, how do you get to be your own boss?"
In order to obtain a contract exemption, the city must prove that disallowing the exemption would result in "excessive cost, undue hardship or other substantial interference" in the operation of city government, Parker said.
"I would encourage (Jones) to seek an advisory opinion," Parker said.
Jones, who, in addition to serving as water operator, is also a 1st Ward councilman, said he addressed the ethical questions previously when he ran for mayor four years ago.
"As a member of council, I've been advised by the Ethics Commission about what I can and cannot do. I've recused myself from a lot of stuff. I don't want to get myself in a (difficult) position," Jones said.
Jones said he believes he can ethically continue as water operator and serve as mayor.
"I can't get directly involved with the water department and its decisions. That will be for the water board to take care of," he said.
A city employee for more than 20 years, Jones is paid by the Water-Sewerage Board, a self-supporting body - separate from New Cumberland City Council - that oversees the operation of the city's drinking water and sewer systems. The board is made up of three city council members and three city residents, according to the city's codified ordinances. Mayor Richard Blackwell is an ex officio member.
Blackwell, who is running for re-election after two years in office, said he doesn't think Jones can be a full-time water operator and mayor.
"How will he have time to be mayor?" Blackwell said. "There is more to the mayor's office than a title. There are many functions, meetings, conferences and seminars that should be attended."
Jones disagrees. "I truly believe I can (be mayor) because you're dealing with a small community. I can devote as much time to that as anyone else has," he said.
The city charter, which sets the mayor's salary at $200 a month, describes the mayor as "chief executive officer" of the town. New Cumberland has a mayor-council form of government in which city council has legislative authority and the mayor has administrative authority.
According to the city charter, first adopted in 1891, the mayor "shall take care that the orders, by-laws, ordinances and resolutions of the Council thereof are faithfully executed."
In the case of city personnel, Blackwell said council is responsible for hiring, while the mayor has authority to fire and supervise employees. As such, Blackwell described himself as Jones' immediate supervisor.
Jones acknowledges that if New Cumberland had a strong mayor form of government, he could not be both mayor and water operator. But New Cumberland does not have such.
"Council hires; council fires," he said.
The Ethics Commission has issued numerous opinions on the question of whether a mayor can also be an employee of a city. In two out of five cases similar to New Cumberland's, the commission denied the contract exemption requested by the municipality. In three of those cases, the exemption was allowed under certain conditions.
Those cases are as follows:
Beech Bottom, W.Va. - Mayor George Lewis asked permission to receive compensation as a water board member, a water board employee and a laborer. Exemption denied.
Mabscott, W.Va. - Council asked permission to continue employing the mayor as police chief, assistant fire chief and head of the street department. Exemption denied.
Rhodell, W.Va. - Town asked permission to continue employing the mayor as the water operator. Exemption granted because of the hardship of hiring another qualified water operator.
Handley, W.Va. - Council asked permission to continue employing the mayor as police chief. Exemption granted (and extended twice) with certain conditions.
Junior, W.Va. - Town asked permission to pay its mayor as a temporary employee in emergency situations. Exemption granted with certain conditions.
The commission ruled in 2006 that, in the case of strong mayor cities, the mayor cannot also be employed by the city because "an inescapable conflict exists."
In the case of Beech Bottom, a mayor-council municipality like New Cumberland, the commission said, "The spirit and intent of the prohibition against use of office for private gain would be violated if an elected mayor is employed by his or her governing body on a permanent basis when the mayor has the power to hire, fire and supervise employees."
The commission opined that because, in a mayor-council form of government, the mayor and council share administrative duties, the mayor is in a position similar to that of a mayor in a strong mayor form of government.
Although she could not speak specifically to Jones' situation, Parker said, "I would hope that he would exercise caution."
Jones faces Blackwell and Linda McNeil, president of the Hancock County Historical Museum Commission, in a three-way race for mayor in Tuesday's city election. Voting hours are 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the New Cumberland Volunteer Fire Department building.

The answer, I posit in my latest, is "Yes." Kinda:
Santorums religious rhetoric is just as important in cultivating his evangelical appeal, and that is something new for Catholic politicians.He has an evangelical style, [Deal] Hudson notes, which can be seen in his references to home-schooling his children, his support for teaching creationism in public schools, and his regular testimony about his personal relationship with Jesus. (Santorum adds that the U.S. needs to have a Jesus candidate.)......That kind of confessional, public piety has generally been foreign to Catholics, and remains so for many of the older generation. During the 2004 campaign, Democratic nominee John Kerry struggled to make God talk while George W. Bush spoke comfortably about his faith.Yet Santorum is not an outlier. Rather, he represents a new kind of religious hybrid, the result of a kind of cross-pollination between evangelicals and Catholics that has taken place in recent decades.That interaction began in earnest in the 1980s as conservative evangelicals and conservative Catholics began collaborating in the battle against abortion. The visibility and popularity of the late Pope John Paul II gave it a boost.Its the influence of the John Paul II revival in the Catholic Church which encouraged a less urbane rhetoric about personal faith, Hudson said.
The irony of this successful cross-denominational appeal, it seems to me, is that while Santorum is able to draw evangelical votes, he continues to do worse than much of the rest of the Republican field with Catholics themselves. He can't go far with that kind of formula, and I think it says something about how alien many voters find Santorum's style, as well as many, if not all, of his policies.I also mention the influence in the evangelical direction, with converts like Gingrich and Brownback et al, and the adoption of John Paul language by George W. Bush and others.

Hi, David, I agree with your analysis. I've heard the hybrid you describe referred to as "Evangelical Catholics."There is still a lot that is distinctively Catholic about Santorum - many commentators have pointed out how Catholic social teaching has leavened his politics throughout his career. That Catholics don't rally to him, or to Catholic candidates generally, probably says more about the weakness of contemporary Catholic tribal behavior - and perhaps their ignorance of Catholic social teaching :-( - than it does about theology.
Does it matter?
Robert - probably not. But there is this to consider: the two guys who are doing well this primary cycle, Romney and Paul, were both candidates four years ago, and both have been pretty much running non-stop ever since. Maybe it takes that long to build a brand in the Republican Party. If Romney sews up the nomination early and then gets creamed in the fall, which seems likely enough, then maybe a couple of candidates this cycle will be a step ahead in four years.
David Gibson:Re: Your statement in the rest of your article in the Washington Post. Evangelicals began borrowing some Catholic concepts.Its not just Evangelicals but also the Republican Party. Just look at one of the headings in the Republican Platforms in 2004 (Promoting a Culture of Life) and in 2008 (Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life).
All of these sub-groups in the GOP fighting like cats and dogs remind me of France years ago when there seemed to be a dozen political parties there, none of which were willing to compromise. Nothing got done, of course. Same was true of Italy at times. So when Republican start calling Obama "a European socialist" I keep thinking that it's the GOP that resembles the Europeans.(I love Rick Perry's description of Romney's position: "vulture capitalism". )
I wonder what Catholic basis Santorum cites for teaching creationism in public school. I got into a discussion on the subway a couple of weeks ago with the father of my kid's classmate at our parish school. He was under the impression that they don't teach evolution in parochial schools, but I told him that they do teach evolution. In a Santorum future, public schools will teach creationism and Catholic schools will teach evolution!
The author does a good job of highlighting how Santorum's rhetoric and policies are a much easier sell to evangelicals who have bought into the culture war model. What could have been said is that Santorum's style/rhetoric fits (disturbingly) well with much of what is emanating from the American hierarchy in its resistence to Obama administration. Our leaders are creating political space for the rise of Santorums of the world.
Helen --Those are good examples of how the Republican strategists are awfully good at choosing the right words for political gain. George Lakoff, the Democratic theorist and linguistic psychologist, says that Republicans are excellent at that while the Democrats are not good.
JC --I think that one of the big differences between the GOP and the Democratic Party is that the Democrats, especially the liberal ones, have a confidence in science and higher education than the GOP doesn't. Note how the word "elite" for the GOP is an insult -- it is meant to characterize negatively the liberals who attended "elite" schools (as if a Harvard education isn't better for your brain than one from Bohunk College). The Democrats (except for many evangelicals/fundamentalists) do have confidence in reputable science. It's why they are willing to admit the reality of the human factor in global warming, why they support evolution in the schools, and perhaps even why they are willing to support more in the way of health care and medical research. There are a lot of justified complaints about "American schools", but it should be pointed out that those complaints don't generally apply to the better American colleges and especially American *graduate* education -- and far from all of our better universities are "elite" ones. Our graduate schools are indeed the best in the world, the ones the Chinese and Indians and others flock to.As to both college and graduate education, in the QS rating for 2011, of the top 20 universities, the U.S. had 13. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS_World_University_Rankings#2011_rankingsIn the "Shanghi Ratings" 8 out of the top 10 are American. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=shangh... couple of the rating organizations rate 100 schools. Among them are many American public universities and many private non-Ivy ones.So why are so many Americans unwilling to grant the value of even the non-"elite" schools? I don't know, but it is my understanding that, that attitude has been a theme in American history for a very long time. And so far as I can see, the attitude is more pronounced in conservatives, both Republican and Democratic. At any rate, these put-down-higher-education and dismiss-science attitudes need to go. Those Chinese and Indian grad students have already started eating our lunch.
"I think that one of the big differences between the GOP and the Democratic Party is that the Democrats, especially the liberal ones, have a confidence in science and higher education than the GOP doesnt."Hi, Ann, I don't believe the disagreement about science, as exemplified by the evolution-vs-creationism split, runs along the GOP/Democratic Party fault line. There are many conservatives who are just fine with evolution and with science in general. One can be politically or culturally conservative without insisting on a literal interpretation of the Bible. President Obama, in overturning President GW Bush's executive order restricting federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, tried to position it as an act in support of science vs. President Bush's act allegedly in opposition to science. But that clearly is incorrect: President Bush's executive order was motivated by ethical, not scientific, concerns.There are a number of interesting aspects in play:* It seems to me that those who accept religious faith and divine revelation are accepting that there are ways of knowing things that are not amenable to science or the scientific method. Those two ways of knowing - knowing via science vs. knowing via faith and revelation - are often positioned as being in conflict with one another, but they needn't be, in my opinion.* President Obama's statement which I've referenced here suggests that science and the scientific method are not only ways of knowing, but also ways of discerning what is right and wrong. To my way of thinking, this is dangerous overreach. Speaking for myself, I do not want to be instructed in morality by scientists. Having deep knowledge about science does not mean that one has acquired moral wisdom.
"At any rate, these put-down-higher-education and dismiss-science attitudes need to go. Those Chinese and Indian grad students have already started eating our lunch."If intelligence and ability are more or less randomly dispersed across the population, this shouldn't surprise us, as the populations of China and India together are 7-8 times the US population.
More and more I see this:Catholics began borrowing some fundigelical concepts.
Jim P. --No, I don't want scientists teaching morality. But that doesn't mean science has nothing to contribute to moral decisions. Science helps tell us what people *are*, and if you hold to a natural law morality, then there will be scientific premises included in your arguments.
Hello All,Since the topic of higher education has come up, and Im a professor (albeit not working at an elite university), I thought Id Id chime in. I think conservative politicians have little idea what professors actually do to earn their keep, same as I have little idea what conservative politicians do since I am not one and I dont work for one. But I think they are right in believing that in general we professors are not teaching what they want us to be teaching. Im a case in point. When I teach moral philosophy, I dont teach Veritatis Splendor or the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I teach selections from Aquinas, Mill and Kant. When I teach political philosophy, I dont teach Dinesh De Sousa or Laura Ingraham. I teach selections from Aristotle, Hobbes and Rawls. I havent taught applied ethics in some time, but in an applied ethics class Im far more likely to include readings done by Peter Singer (with whom I usually disagree) than Peter Kreeft. In short, Im not catechizing the students I work with in good conservative values. Im trying to help them to learn to think more carefully and critically for themselves. And, at the risk of being smug, I think that requires teaching the young people I work with real philosophy.
Yay, yay, yay, Peter :-)(There's too much patronizing of kids. Or should I say too much keeping them as children.)
Peter Vanderschraaf What a gift you are to higher education!

College of Arts & Sciences
Dept. of English, Philosophy & Modern Languages
English Program
Why choose to major in English?
There are any number of good and valid reasons to pursue a degree in the liberal arts: the desire to read and write, desire to get a solid liberal arts education, and the desire to have a career. From a purely career aspect, a degree in English most fundamentally teaches students how to think critically and write effectively. Because English majors have spent years analyzing the written word, they are adept at analyzing problems and seeing multiple points of view. Furthermore, because they frequently write papers and give presentations, English majors have highly-prized skills in verbal and written communications.
In addition, the study of literature develops an appreciation for language, culture, and values.
Academic rigor and career preparation aside, perhaps the most compelling reason to choose a major in English is because you enjoy reading and/or writing and want to spend your college years pursuing those activities.
What's the program like?
The Department of English offers a major in English, the option of a teaching certificate in secondary English instruction, and a minor in English.
The degree in English is a highly customizable degree and allows students to pursue individual interests and goals. English majors may choose an emphasis in writing, literature, or linguistics. In addition, all English majors take 25 credits of required coursework to provide a foundation in the language, literary criticism, and literature. Additionally, students are urged to pursue the study of a foreign language.
What can I expect to learn?
English majors by necessity spend a good deal of their time reading and writing, so you can expect to become a more thorough and thoughtful reader, as well as more analytical, creative, and interesting writer. You can also expect to build your skills in:
- Influencing and persuading
- Clarifying ideas
- Problem solving
- Comparing interpretations
- Thinking independently
- Creative writing
- Seeing multiple, alternative points of view
- Giving oral presentations
- Developing hypotheses
- Summarizing ideas
- Editing
Yeah, but how do I get a job?
The key for English majors on the job market is to use those critical analysis skills that they have honed as English majors to understand what the hiring organization desires and which problems the organization needs solved and then to figure out how their skills can solve those problems.
English majors also would do well to invest in an internship experience during college to "try out" different careers and gain valuable experience in different industries.
Advantages of English at MSUB
Committed faculty
Small classes—the average upper-division English class enrolls fewer than 15 students, which provides close interaction with faculty
Opportunities for scholarships—each of the past several years, the English Department has awarded over $4000 in scholarships to English majors
Individual advising
Cooperative educational opportunities
Opportunities for student participation—Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society, The Rook
Strong preparation for graduate school and careers
An enriching liberal arts educatio
Careers for English Majors
Thinking and writing are two critical keys to success in the job market and have broad application in any number of career paths, including:
- Business
- Marketing
- Journalism
- Non-profit
- Education
- Administration
- Public relations
- Education
- Public service/administration
- Technical writing
- Seminary/ministry
- Law
- International business/relations
- Preparation for an advanced degree

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

6 People Who Had No Clue Their Faces Were World-Famous
#3. The Afghan Girl
Via Wikipedia
It's one of the most famous photos of all time, and it's no wonder why.
The girl was a nameless teenage Afghani refugee who wound up on the cover of National Geographic in 1985. Seventeen years later, the photographer, Steve McCurry, decided to track her down.
After sifting through countless tips, chasing false leads and even daring to cross a conflict-ridden border, McCurry finally caught up to her again. Her name turned out to be Sharbat Gula, and McCurry had something to tell her. Something to show her, actually: her iconic photo. It had become the face most associated with the Afghan-Soviet war and an icon for the heavy toll of war in general. And Gula knew nothing about it until McCurry tracked her down.
How did she feel about her face being known to millions of people around the world? "Meh," she was quoted as saying, so long as you don't go looking for a source.
Via Wikipedia
"Also it's kind of creepy, guys." -- same source.
In fact, she didn't really understand how a simple photo of her face could be important at all. To her, the photo had just been a brief moment in her life. A furious, pissed-off moment. In 1984, Gula had just fled from the ongoing Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, hoping like so many others to find safety in Pakistan. Instead, after losing her parents and trekking through the mountains with her siblings and grandmother, she found a crowded refugee camp.
After enduring all of this cosmically unfair bullshit, the young girl had her photo taken, for the first time in her life, at the refugee camp. McCurry didn't even learn her name and ended up imaginatively titling the photo "The Afghan Girl" as you might have guessed. While her picture helped to sell subscriptions of National Geographic to your grandfather, Gula was busy living in poverty and poor health. Oh, and she has to live in the mountains for much of the year now because the pollution in the city, where her husband earns a dollar a day, is too much for her asthma.
So we really can't blame her for not getting too excited about a photo that's done nothing to improve her existence. She still agreed to sit for a second photo by McCurry, though -- the second one in her entire life. She had to lower her veil for it, obviously, which is massively frowned upon in her culture, but she did it anyway because she was told there was a chance it could inspire others to help the people of Afghanistan.
#2. The Iconic Woodstock Couple
Via meandmarisa
One of the most famous photos of the most iconic music festival in history is this picture of a couple hugging under a blanket, the people and debris of Woodstock scattered behind them.
Nick and Bobbi Ercoline were just two teens in love when they heard about the festival on the radio and decided to travel a few towns over to check it out. Unbeknownst to them, a photographer snapped their picture. The first they knew about it was when the Woodstock album was released in 1970 and they went over to a friend's house to listen to it. Nick picked up the record sleeve and recognized their blanket. At this point, Bobbi figured she had to confess to her mom that she had been lying when she'd sworn she hadn't gone to the concert.
Via referencemusic
500,000 people. What were the chances?
Oh, and she might also have to mention that her image prominently adorned the poster of the Woodstock movie that would win the Academy Award for best documentary and would gross over $200 million (adjusted for 2011 dollars) and an album cover that would be purchased by millions of stoners from 1970 through the end of time.
Two years after the photo was taken, the couple got married. Over 40 years later, Nick and Bobbi are still together, have two sons and still live just outside Woodstock. While they still get recognized today after all the media attention their photo garnered, their foray into the counterculture didn't last: he works for the Man, i.e. the local government, and she is a school nurse.

You are looking at your chilling future, hipsters.
#1. Osama Bin Laden as an Old Man
Via ask.com
If you were an older gentleman from 2001 until this year, who is pretty much the worst person you could be confused with? How about Osama bin Laden?
Of course if you were accused of looking like the terrorist mastermind NOW, you would either have a serious head wound or give rise to some major conspiracy theories. But back in 2009, we were still pretty sure Osama was alive and every government agency in the world was looking for him.
Via Wikipedia
Well, almost.
So imagine the horror of one Spanish gentleman when he woke up one morning in late 2009 to find his face on the covers of newspapers around the world. Sure, he didn't remember buying a turban and while he had a beard, it was certainly not as impressive as the one in the photo. But it was definitely him. Except all the papers were saying it was what Osama bin Laden would look like today, thanks to the FBI's state-of-the-art age-progression technology.
Via latina.com
"This is a Back to the Future plot, isn't it."
Only instead of using the fancy aging technology, somebody just used Google Image Search and Photoshop.
Making it worse was the fact that Gaspar Llamazares was a respected member of Spain's parliament and had been since 2000, meaning the U.S. government didn't just take some random guy's picture and turn him into a terrorist -- they did it to a lawmaker of an allied country.
While the FBI eventually removed the photo from its website, Llamazares said he no longer felt comfortable traveling to the U.S. and considered suing. Of course now that Bin Laden is dead, there isn't a problem anymore, unless those death photos end up being Photoshops of Llamazares with a head wound.

2.1.0-beta3: List items no longer positioned horizontally. They are always vertical.
Ext version tested:
- 2.1.0-beta3
- Safari 5.1.7
- Chrome 21.0.1180.89
Horizontal lists (Ext.List) do not expand to full width of their container. Setting inline: { wrap: false } should create a list, where the items are arranged and scrolled horizontally. This functionality is working correctly in 184.108.40.206. However, in 2.1.0-beta3, the list items are always arranged vertically.
Ext.List is a subclass of DataView. If I change the extend value from Ext.List to Ext.DataView, the items all of a sudden will position correctly, that is, horizontally. But not, if i extend from Ext.List. See screenshots below.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Create a list extending from Ext.List
- config: inline: { wrap: false }, scrollable: { direction: 'horizontal', directionLock: true }
- The list will wrap vertically and not horizontally.
- Now keep everything, but change extend to Ext.DataView. The list will scroll horizontally.
- List items should be arranged and scrolled horizontally
- List items are wrapping vertically
Screenshot or Video:
Using 184.108.40.206, list items correctly positioned and scrolled horizontally
Using 2.1.0-beta3, list items ignore inline/wrap config and positioned vertically
Operating System:
- Win 7 x64
12 Sep 2012 3:37 PM #2
Will look into it, though I believe you may need to use a DataView to do this instead of a List.

So if you encourage us to use the DataView instead of List for the purpose of displaying items inline, are there any plans to adapt the Pullrefresh plugin so that it works together with the DataView?
That would be most helpful.
9 Dec 2012 2:58 AM #4
I hope that this get fixed and not delegate to a dataview, since some time we may need horizontal List, with selectable items.
9 Dec 2012 3:29 AM #5
Yes, unfortunately the only solution I found is to change my list to a dataview.

I bought my NN3 in 2008, tried it a few times but was never happy with the setup.
I recently upgraded it by adding the RD3L 6-8-30 Rotator EZ Leveler II (VERY nice product that one is).
I'm trying the setup with a Canon 400D and the Canon 15mm Fisheye, have spent days trying to get the alignment right. I'm close, but just not close enough for perfection every time.
The guide at johnhpanos.com is good but I still feel I don't have it quite right.
Searching these forms I've seen others trying to figure out the setup of this camera/lens combo but never any answer.
Anyone have the numbers for this camera/lens combo?

Couple of months back I watched The Reader. In that movie, Hanna Schmitz was sentenced to life imprisonment because of her role in the death of 300 victims. But I could not understand whether she was really responsible for that? or
Whether she framed by her colleague because of her illiteracy? or
She really did that?
Why didn't they show this part in the movie?

BOSTON — A man convicted of robbing a Brockton convenience store in 2009 has lost his appeal.
The state supreme court on Friday upheld the conviction of Justin Joyner, who was wearing a hoodie and carrying a gun when he burst into the store demanding money on Niov. 29, 2009.
He was found guilty based on fingerprints on the cash drawer he emptied.
Joyner's lawyer argued in the appeal that the fingerprint evidence was insufficient for a conviction, but the supreme court ruled that it was.

This is the perfect tire for mostly flat winter driving like in the Greater Toronto Area. I've been using these in the past 4 winters and have been extremely happy. After last winter's major snow storm, we were one of the few vehicles to make it in and out of our street which had over a foot of snow. My wife and I have never lost control of our Odyssey using these tires in the winter. Best points: excellent handling in snow, minimal tire wear, good fuel economy. Weak points: Road noise at any speed. I would buy this tire again in my next purchase.

I have been running on Observe tires for many years and on many Toyota sedans. I grew up in the Mt Shasta area and know about winter in the mountains. I have never gotten stuck in the winter with a properly equipped car. The right tires, and a set of fitted chains is standard equipment. 4 out of 5 of my vehicles have Observe tires (Not the Ford pickup).

qtip registered with QuickTipManager not displayed
Hi all,
When registered via QuickTipManager, and showed with delay, qtip are never displayed because the lookup to registered targets is not set properly in targetTextEmpty.
Fix (QuickTips.js):
targetTextEmpty: function(){ var me = this, target = me.activeTarget, cfg = me.tagConfig, el, text; if (target) { el = target.el; if (el) { text = el.getAttribute(cfg.namespace + cfg.attribute); // Note that the quicktip could also have been registered with the QuickTipManager. // If this was the case, then we don't want to veto showing it. // Simply do a lookup in the registered targets collection. // FIX: //if (!text && !me.targets[target.target]) { if (!text && !me.targets[target.target.id]) { // END FIX. return true; } } } return false; },

As much as I love Naked1, I love Naked2 even more for its slightly cooler shades. This is a wonderfully versatile neutral palette that offers great shadows in terrific colours (at least for me) that are neutral and still exciting.

I absolutely love this palette! There is at least one color I will use everytime I do my eyes. Its my go to for travel since it has a very slim case and there is such a variety of looks you can get with just this one palette. There is a slight fall out with the shimmers and thats easy to fix. 1. Tap out the access before using the brush 2. Use an adhering spray or liquid like MAC Fix + or 3. Do eyes firstt before face. That way any fall out that you get, you can easily remove with a wipe or hide when you apply your foundation. The palette is pricey. I got mine when Urban Decay was still selling them at $49. That was still pricey then but now any Naked palette will run you $54. The price has been steadilly increasing for the last few years, if it ever goes over $55.

I wanted to love this. I wanted to love it *so much*. I'd heard sooo much about Naked (original) but it just looked too warm for my skin (though I do have a slight yellow-leaning tone, most warm shades look awful on me!). Naked2 seemed ideal, with it's "greige" (aka grey-beige) and taupe shades - right up my alley, I thought! Um, not exactly. Yes, the colours all swatched gorgeously on my skin. However, I find this palette very hard to wear unless you mix it with other mattes (only 3 in here, I believe), OR you can handle very shimmery-to-almost-metallic eyeshadows. For myself, I find I can usually use one very shimmery/metallic shadow but I like to balance the rest with matte or satin shadows or it's just too much on me. I also purchased the Naked Basics palette and LOVE that - using the Basics and adding a high-shimmer from Naked 2 would work well, but I felt that it was not the best use of my money to have the Naked 2. The quality sure is there; I could immediately see what people are so crazy for UD shadows! You need the lightest hand for the shadows as they're so pigmented. They feel creamy to apply and only the most glittery shadows have much fallout. The double-ended brush it comes with is cruelty-free (synthetic bristles) and works nicely for patting on shadow with one end (can also use the flat end for lining the eyes with shadow); the other end is great for blending and crease definition. Considering that each pan is almost exactly the size of a full, single eyeshadow but costs approx.as much as 2.5-3 X single shadows would, you can't argue with the price. I would rate it 5 stars for quality, but only 2-3 for wearability - again, unless you can easily rock a lot of high-shimmer shadow or you don't mind mixing in other more matte shadows with the Naked 2.

Features a good variety of shades that work well on many skin tones and some surprising essentials (the pair of highlighters is nice, as is the all-matte taupe Tease). The brush is durable and usable, and the packaging itself, while a step up from Naked's hard cardboard, has a weird flaw: the individual pans are not very tightly attached to the metal case. While this can be fixed with a hot-glue gun and some patience, it's a bit of a pain. Another curiosity is the repetition of the shade Half Baked from the original Naked palette; while it's a great shade, a bright glittery gold might be harder to use everyday than say, another matte nude. Regardless, it's a great palette and makes an excellent present.

getValue() method of FilterConfig return wrong value for NumericFilter (double)
if i enter in grid header the value "1", i get the value "10.0" in the backend.
In frontend i typ "1":
NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double> numericBundleFilter = new NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double>(articleDataProperties.bundle(), new DoublePropertyEditor()); numericBundleFilter.setUpdateBuffer(2000); gridFilters.addFilter(numericBundleFilter);
In backend i get "10.0":
for (FilterConfig myFilterConfig: myFilterPagingLoadConfig.getFilters()){ String safeTest = myFilterConfig.getValue(); // safeTest is "10.0" ??? }
What's my mistake?
thank you for reading

works ....
This works...
NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double> numericBundleFilter = new NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double>( articleDataProperties.bundle(), new DoublePropertyEditor(NumberFormat.getFormat("#####0.###")) );
NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double> numericBundleFilter = new NumericFilter<ArticleData, Double>( articleDataProperties.bundle(), new DoublePropertyEditor() );

This is very surprising to me - it suggests that GWT's own number format code is parsing "1.0" as the value 10, but either no one else has noticed, or there is something very specific about your setup.
What locale are you using, if any (and does this occur in any other locale)? Do you have any other changes made to your module file beyond basic setup, such as additional replace-with or generate-with rules?
The implication is that that the current decimal format is just wrong, and I'm not sure how that could be. Can you try running this code to verify what output you see?
String one = "1.0"; Double d = NumberFormat.getDecimalFormat().parse(one); System.out.println("Parsed as " + d); System.out.println("Using decimal format " + NumberFormat.getDecimalFormat().getPattern());

It turns out that there is a simple solution here that I was missing - the number format code is doing *exactly* what it should be doing in this case.
Try this: enter "1,0" instead, and see that the result shows up as expected. Additionally, "1.00" will show up as 100. To understand why, we need to add one more line to this test code:
System.out.println("Decimal separator in current local: " + LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getNumberConstants().decimalSeparator());
According to your module declaration, you have Germany set as the default locale, so "1.0" should parse as 10. Add this line to confirm your locale:
System.out.println("Current locale name: " + LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getLocaleName());
String one = "1,00"; Double d = NumberFormat.getDecimalFormat().parse(one); System.out.println("Current locale name: " + LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getLocaleName()); System.out.println("Decimal separator in current locale: " + LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getNumberConstants().decimalSeparator()); System.out.println("Using decimal format " + NumberFormat.getDecimalFormat().getPattern()); System.out.println(one + " is parsed as " + d);
11 Jul 2013 10:50 PM #6
Result of your code:
Current locale name: de
Decimal separator in current locale: ,
Using decimal format #,##0.###
1,00 is parsed as 1.0
Thank you for explaining me my locale-separator-parse problem, i understand.
I'm nearly sure, if i enter in the filter a '1', the frontend make a "1.0" out of it an parse it to "10.0" ... but these workflow i cannot reproduce again now.
gxt version last week: 3.0.3
gxt version now (since 8.7): 3.0.5
my be a proble of the 3.0.3 or a mistake of me. Thank you for help.

Looks like there is still an issue - when you enter "1" into the numeric filter with locale set to de, it ends up rendering as "1.0" instead of "1,0". This won't cause a problem until some change is made to the value, but then it will be parsed wrong. This is a bug in GXT, and I've filed this accordingly.
There is a workaround: instead of just creating a DoublePropertyEditor (or whatever number property editor you are using) with the zero-arg constructor, pass in the appropriate number formatter.
The trick with a fix in GXT for this issue is that we can only set a default formatter based on the type passed in - it might not be perfect, but it will be better than just using the number's own toString code. If you have a desired format to pass in, that should be used instead.

I use the workarround, thank you for help.
Looking forward for next step of migration

This is a major show stopper for us! Please, get it fixed asap. Thanx!
2 Jun 2014 8:32 AM #10
Andreas - does the workaround not work for you? Thomas indicated that it solved the issue, and that we just need to build a permenent fix. As the last sentence in my previous post noted, this may not even be something we can uniformly handle perfectly, but will look into it further when we address this, but if the workaround posted does not work, then clearly we don't yet have the full bug report.

Pope Benedict XVI greets pilgrims in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Feb. 27, 2013. CREDIT: AP Photo/Michael Sohn
(CBS News) Most of the cardinals summoned to Rome to elect a new pope have now arrived. Of the 115 eligible to cast a ballot, 107 cardinals held their first pre-conclave meeting Monday about the future of the Roman Catholic Church.
Class was called for 9:30 in the morning, Rome time, for the College of Cardinals.
And many caught the early bus. They are the princes of a church rocked by the child-abuse and other scandals and they admit they've got a lot of homework to do before they can even set a date to begin voting on the next pope.
The church is under intense scrutiny. There's no such thing as a quiet stroll to work here. The Catholic world --- and particularly the victims of abuse -- want answers.
And many cardinals, like Chicago's Francis George, are here to argue the victims are right.
"They have been abused by a Catholic priest and sometimes by a Catholic bishop and sometimes the abuse has not been addressed as it should have been by Catholic bishops," George said. "That is a terrible wound on the body of the church."
In an interview, Cardinal George said the Vatican cannot ignore the news it has made just because it's bad.
"The headline stories do create context for our discussion," he said. "We follow the press, sometimes happily and sometimes not."
The cardinals themselves must decide when they've talked enough -- and prayed enough -- about the Church's problems to think about who might be the right man to fix them.
But the subtle jockeying for position has already begun. There's no campaigning for the job here, but there are ways of raising a profile. One is to lead an important mass in Rome, as Austrian Cardinal Schoenborn did.
Another is to do deny you're interested when your name makes the rounds.
Canada's Marc Ouellet is considered a compromise contender -- not another European, but not quite American either.
To discount the rumors, he fell back on the old Vatican line about what happens to Conclave favorites: "The one that gets in pope, gets out cardinal."
The cardinals may not know when the conclave will begin, but they know when they'd like it to end. They want to be home for the week before Easter, the Christian Holy week. And the longer they delay, the more the pressure will mount to stop talking and start voting.
