Graduate Students have the opportunity to work with faculty on a number of important collaborative scholarly projects based in the English Department.
Graduate students in the English Department and in affiliated departments and programs organize informal reading groups. Some of these groups focus on shared literary or interpretive interests. Others focus on students' ongoing writing and research projects. Please watch the Graduate Program News section of our website for announcements.
Our primary research facility is RUSH RHEES LIBRARY, which holds several million volumes in an open-stack environment. In 1997, the Library installed a state-of-the-art electronic catalogue, Voyager, which provides a union listing of all the University's libraries, together with direct links to various on-line resources and archives and to other web sites. Remote access (from on campus and off) and high powered, versatile search capabilities make it well suited to the sophisticated research requirements of graduate students. Graduate students in the Department of English may make use of a variety of specialized collections and several research opportunities unique to the University of Rochester; these enable students, at beginning and advanced levels, to pursue topics in depth, explore new territory, develop interdisciplinary expertise, or work with non-traditional materials.
The KOLLER-COLLINS GRADUATE CENTER—an attractive space within Rush Rhees Library dedicated to research and lectures in literary studies—contains non-circulating collections of particular value to graduate students and faculty in English. The ROSSELL HOPE ROBBINS LIBRARY, a group of more than 20,000 books and periodicals devoted to Medieval Studies, with its own reading rooms and stacks, provides one of the best research facilities in North America for advanced work in Old and Middle English, medieval history and art, and the continental literature of the High Middle Ages. The KOLLER-COLLINS COLLECTION, housed in the main reading rooms of the Center, consists of 7,000 primary texts and reference works in all areas of British and American literature and critical theory; the Collection also includes special holdings in the works of several authors, including Tennyson, Matthew Arnold, Graham Greene, and the Elizabethan dramatists. These collections, together with an adjacent seminar room, reading lounges, and the offices of the Middle English Texts series and the Chaucer Bibliographies, insure that graduate students have unfettered access to essential materials in a space that fosters independent work and enables students to share their professional interests.
The DEPARTMENT OF RARE BOOKS AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, also located in Rush Rhees Library, houses unique research materials, including books, manuscripts, maps, prints, broadsides, and other printed ephemera, many associates with particular collections. This corpus of some 75,000 volumes ranges from holographs and incunabula to modern first editions; areas of outstanding strength include earlier English drama, a grouping of nineteenth-century authors (Robert Southey, Benjamin Disraeli, John Ruskin, and others), early American children's books, filmed books, and modern poetry. The University owns unpublished materials associated with a number of Rochester luminaries (Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and William Henry Seward), with playwrights and performers of nineteenth-century British and American theater, and with a number of twentieth-century novelists and poets (among them, Adelaide Crapsey, John MacInnes, Hyam Plutzik, John Gardner, and John Williams). Special Collections also possesses an exceptional assortment of Dime Novels published in late nineteenth-century America, encompassing Westerns, science fiction, detective and adventure stories, sports books, and inspirational reading of the Horatio Alger type. The Hyam Plutzik Library of Contemporary Writing, which houses the William and Hannelore Heyen collection of manuscripts, broadsides and first editions of twentieth century poetry, a remarkable collection containing thousands of items, provides unique research opportunities for the advanced study of contemporary writing.
The MULTIMEDIA CENTER provides, among other things, sophisticated computer and video equipment and software for student projects, knowledgeable help in designing and executing such projects, and classrooms outfitted for multimedia instruction. The Center offers a program of brief presentations to introduce novice users to its equipment and facilities. The Multimedia Center also houses the collection of films, videos, and DVDs belonging to the Film Studies Collection (see below).
The GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE, located several miles from the main campus, possesses an unparalleled collection of photographs, filsm, and related materials. An international center for film scholars, it has one of the two or three richest film archives in the world. The University's association with the Eastman House provides a channel for students interested in serious study of the history, criticism, and art of film. Eastman House each year sponsors internships especially suited for Rochester Ph.D. students, and it offers various employment opportunities that have strengthened the credentials of Film Studies students.
Many of our students opt to supplement their PhD in English with a graduate certificate in African and African-American Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, or Literary Translation. These certificates allow students to highlight an interdisciplinary focus that informs their teaching or research. Requirements for these certificates are easily coordinated with our students' departmental programs of study.
The University's interdisciplinary programs provide an important resource for graduate courses, faculty research seminars and graduate reading groups, visiting speakers and conferences, graduate certificates, and funding for travel to conferences and archives.
The English Department and affiliated departments and programs across the University sponsor visiting speakers and conferences throughout the academic year. In addition to sponsoring these individual events, we coordinate visiting scholars and writers through several established series and projects.
George H. Ford was a distinguished Dickens scholar, authority on Victorian literature, and scholar of D.H. Lawrence. He was one of the founding editors of the Norton Anthology of English Literature and edited its Victorian section through six editions. He taught at the University of Rochester from1958 until his retirement in 1984, and was chairman of the department from 1960 to 1972.
Professor Ford was instrumental in establishing the University of Rochester's PhD Program in English. His bequest to the department allows us to sponsor The George H. Ford Lecture Series. This is a wonderful opportunity for the department to host distinguished scholars whose visits to graduate classrooms, seminar meetings with graduate students, and public lectures have a tremendous impact on our graduate program.
Recent George H. Ford lecturers include professors Nancy Armstrong, Paul Auster, Jenny Davidson, Carolyn Dinshaw, Annette Gordon-Reed, Gerald Graff, Langdon Hammer, N. Katherine Hayles, Joseph Loewenstein, D. A. Miller, Christopher Ricks, Joseph Roach, Elaine Showalter, Susan Stewart, and John Unsworth.

- solange aint worried about "no damn hair" lol well at least thats what she said if she doesnt want to embrace the praise about her natural styles beyonce has no problem jacking it and i aint mad at that
- The blonde hair is her signature hair color at this point in her career i think its quite evident that the blonde is not going anywhere kind of like mary j blige…im lovin these braids tho at first when solange was rockin them i was a lil skeptical like really box braids? but im having a change of heart the more i see ppl rockin them im tema natural and think about getting some before this summer is out that or singalese twist

PHOTOS: Miss USA Already Embroiled In 'Stripper' Scandal
It's been less than 24 hours since Miss Michigan Rima Fakih won Sunday night's Miss USA pageant and already there's a scandal a-brewing. Detroit radio show Mojo In The Morning has posted photos of Fakih competing in their annual Stripper 101 contest in 2007 — which she also won.
WATCH: Miss USA Winner Trips Over Her Gown
Last night, Miss Michigan Rima Fakih made history as the first Arab American to be crowned Miss USA 2010. Now, we'll be honest, we didn't watch the pageant, but we did awake to find plenty of buzz surrounding Fakih and an alleged stumble over the train of her evening gown.

Dating & Single Living
It's tough. Guys do have an idea of what the "perfect woman" looks like. I remember in a dance class meeting this woman who was my exact ideal of feminine beauty. After two minutes of her acting stuck up I realized that I was not in the least bit interested!
I think it's also imprtant to know that few guys ever marry the woman who is their idea of feminine beauty, but after awhile she becomes the most beautiful women in their world. As men we should do a better job being clearer about what "physically fit" or any other physical description means, especially making sure that women know we aren't looking for perfection.
Ladies, from your end please remember that guys are visual creatures- our first method of sorting out who we are going to ask is your looks. Online it's less easy, but if you inculde pictures of you doing fun things so that you personality shows through then that will overcome the fact that you might not be his ideal. Guys will go for a "less attractive" looking girl who shows visible signs of being fun to be around over a more attractive women who looks hard to please. What I am saying is that good looks will get you to the front of a guy's line, but they won't keep you there very long! Also, different guys like different kinds of feminine beauty. So even if you don't fit the ideal, it doesn't mean that you should hide who you are. The guy that God meant for you is going to love you not despite your body, but because of your body and your spirit. So don't hide! You are beautiful!
I don't look for that, but my lifestyle resonates fitness. It is in all of the things I like to do. I think I need an active man who wants to be outside experiencing and doing. I don't have that as a criteria, but I know it must be to some extent because I gravitate towards men whose lifestyles echo mine.
How is this any different than rejecting a person based on looks? Or any other litmus test, for that matter? If the person leads a lifestyle that is very physically active, it doesn't seem unreasonable for them to desire to date or marry someone who is able to participate in the same activities.
I agree that it's not different that rejecting a person based on looks, how they sound on the phone, their personality, etc. But, I think the difference is that it's stated directly out there in their profile. And if you don't fit that mold, you feel insulted. As if they are better than you because you are not as physicially fit as them.
They are listing a qualification that the other person must have in order to be even considered. I may have in mind what I feel is attractive physically, but I keep those things to myself. I think that is the difference it's not stated out there in my profile what his "size" needs to be or any other attribute.
That's just my opinion...
My aunt was the one who pointed out to me that some men mention in their Ideal Match paragraph that they'd like their partner to be "physically fit". I've never seen that listed until tonight. I had a guy view me, so in all curiosity, I viewed back and started reading through his profile...until I saw "I'd like my partner to be physically fit." Hey. To each his own, as the saying goes, but why are you going to be so picky? When I read that, I saw this guy in a different light...and it's wasn't a flattering one. You could have a great connection with anyone on this site, and if you say no because they're not physically fit enough for you, then you're throwing away potential friendships, relationships, or your possible spouse. If the connection is there, the appearance shouldn't matter. My opinion. I'm curious as to how others are going to reply.
That goes both ways you know...how many perfect tens do you know that are dating or married to a couch potato guy who munches Cheetoes all day? The guys are just more upfront about it in their profiles than ladies are. Anything can happen, it's true, and I've known couples, even married ones, where one spouse exercises and lives a healthy lifestyle and the other doesn't, but I also know they often don't do much together. Let's be realistic: if one eats healthy, exercises, and likes to get out and play sports or do outdoor stuff, and the other likes to sit around and watch movie marathons and eat doughnuts, those lifestyles are not very compatible. I think any guy who works hard at his fitness and takes pride in it wants a partner who appreciates and shares similar values and lifestyle choices.
I'm stepping into a mine field simply by commenting on this thread, I don't doubt!
Do men care about women's general body shape? Yes. A little too much? Maybe. Sometimes. Usually.Yeah, us men aren't perfect! So what? I can tell you some of the younger ladies have unrealistic standards of their own, unfortunately. We all have expectations. Sometimes unrealistic or unfair ones. I think this really bugs people because it pricks your pride and insecurity. Hey, I'm not judging. It happens to me, too, I'm quite sure. I have made a point of expressing interest in about 80-90% of my matches. Guess how many times I've gotten an emotigram indicating mutual interest? Never.
The two ladies I have hit it off with -- we're just friends, I'm still looking! -- were not matches. The other ladies that went kind of straight-to-friendship (by mutual consent, as far as I can tell) are likewise not matches on the site. But still: suspiciously low rate of returned interest. And every day I have a choice to decide whether to be bitter or hopeful. We all are ridiculous because we want what's best for us.
And we have this silly idea that we know what the heck that is!
As for me personally: yes, my ideal for a woman is somewhat slender/athletic. As in, better than my own current status. It's what I'd prefer. It's not the only kind of woman that I can fall for, though. My mother is a food addict and it is a destructive habit. Her raising is part of why I don't have exercise habits really set in, but at least I've figured out healthy food choices and portions. This definitely plays into my preferences, but fair's fair. Looks aren't everything, but they do matter.
There are wonderful, beautiful people of the same sex as me, and you know what? I don't have the slightest bit of interest. That's because personality and charm aren't everything. Looks do matter to an extent, though it may be overemphasized by especially us young or immature folk. I have to remind myself of this article frequently and not think too highly of myself: www.boundless.org
I don't look for that, but my lifestyle resonates fitness. It is in all of the things I like to do. I think I need an active man who wants to be outside experiencing and doing. I don't have that as a criteria, but I know it must be to some extent because I gravitate towards men whose lifestyles echo mine.
Thank you very much Linda!! Guys, take an example from this young lady. If you are active you will gravitate towards others that are active. It is not necessary to post in your profile that you are seeking someone who is "physically fit". It would be like a woman posting that she is seeking someone who "makes a lot of money" .
How is this any different than rejecting a person based on looks? Or any other litmus test, for that matter? If the person leads a lifestyle that is very physically active, it doesn't seem unreasonable for them to desire to date or marry someone who is able to participate in the same activities.
Jerry, I agree with you and Stephanie. Why is this preference singled out? We all have preferences about a variety of things and would like to enjoy specific traits in a spouse.
So if I like to go shopping can I post that I want a man that makes alot of money so we have the joy of loving the same type of activities? I couldn't help myself on this one.
I don't think that it is necessary to post on your profile that you are looking for someone who is physically fit. Like Linda said, you will automatically gravitate towards a physically fit person if you yourself are active. Look at the activities they enjoy on their profile; that should be telling enough for you to decide if you will find the joy of loving the same type of activities.
Enough said, and this is coming from the mother of a collegiate decathlete who is more "physically fit" than any man here who includes in their profile that they are seeking a physically fit spouse.
Priorities people, priorities.
Hi Everyone,
You know what, I have never seen that, either. I consider myself physically fit and slim (or so I am told). But you know what, that has nothing to do
with the men I date. I have dated overweight men, bald men, men shorter than me, men with bad skin (scars from childhood acne) and you know
what, I can say in ALL honsety that it doesn't matter to me AT ALL if he is physically fit. I have known lots of people (including men) who eat pretty
good and engage in a sport maybe twice a week and they just can't get down to the size the'd like to be. You know what does matter to me, since we
are talking about physicalities--grooming and hygeine. I would much rather date an overweight man, than a man with bad teeth, bad breath, bitten
nails, dirty hair and does not smell good. I will admit those things are paramount to me. So much more than how much he weighs or if he is in shape
or not. Of course, his spiritual life is everything to me...but since we are talking about the physical that is all I mentioned in the above post.

IFC Films has announced that it has acquired director Paul Schreader's erotic drama for release sometime this summer. The controversial film was written by Bret Easton Ellis and picked up considerable notice for its troubled production, mostly due to star Lindsay Lohan. The actress appears opposite porn star James Deen in the pic, which centers on the relationship between a scheming and wealthy movie producer (Deen) and his girlfriend (Lohan), who's having an affair with an actor from her past. IFC will release the film day-and-date sometime this summer on digital platforms and in theaters. Hit the jump to read the press release.

Study in England Programme-- University of WorcesterProgramme Information| Location Information| Eligibility | Costs | Deadlines & Dates | Orientation |Visa |Housing | What's Next? | Photos | Helpful Links | Faculty Application | Director Application |
Program Information Students spend an exciting academic year living and taking courses at the University of Worcester. Worcester is beautifully situated on the banks of the river Severn near the picturesque Malvern Hills, and located in the heart of England. The city of Worcester is centrally located and is a 2 hour train ride from London. The city of Worcester blends its ancient heritage with all the characteristics of a modern town. The city of Worcester is built around a magnificent 11th century cathedral and a key battleground in the English Civil War. Worcester has a population similar to the size of Duluth, the charm of a quaint English town, and all the amenities of a big city. Course Information This program is directed by 1 UMD faculty who will teach up to two courses each semester. The courses taught by the Director aim to fulfill UMD Liberal Education categories and elective credit. One of the courses the Director will teach each semester is a one credit cultural seminar which is a required course for each program participant. Information for the 2014-2015 Program will be coming later this summer The UMD faculty Director for the 2013-2014 academic year is Professor Judith Blyckert who teaches in the UMD Department of Education. Director Blyckert will teach the following courses: Fall Semester 2013
Lastly, you will also have the exciting opportunity to take up to 3 courses each semester taught by University of Worcester Professors alongside British and International students attending the University of Worcester. University of Worcester courses range in subject areas and levels. You can view the currently reviewed courses at the link in the next section. Courses at UoW IMPORTANT: Please note that the courses offered in this program are subject to change as the University of Worcester does not finalize their course schedule for the upcoming year until late spring semester. It is possible that more courses will be added and some may be removed. Use the list as a guide and plan to have backup courses in case of unforeseen changes.The Program Coordinator can help advise you on the courses available when planning your participation. All courses count as resident UMD credit and count towards your degree at UMD. With careful course selection, you can earn credits towards your major, minor, and liberal education requirements. You will be required to take at least 12 credits each semester and should not exceed 18 credits. All grades earned will count towards your UMD GPA and will appear on your official UMD transcript. The University of Worcester uses a different credit and grading scale that is not the same as UMD. Typically a semester course taken at UoW is the equivalent of 4 UMD credits. You will receive exact details of how the UoW credits and grades transfer at orientations and in the student handbook. You will have the opportunity to choose and register for your classes near the end of spring semester before your departure to England. University of WorcesterThe University of Worcester has an undergraduate student population similar to the size of UMD which allows you to get involved with the university and meet many students from around the U.K. and the world. The University of Worcester is made up of 2 campuses, the original St. John's Campus and the new (as of 2009) City Centre Campus which are approximately 25 minutes apart on foot. Both campuses offer student accommodation, classroom space, and all of the features and resources of a modern and growing university. The following Institutes (colleges) make up the academic units at the University of Worcester: Institute of Science and the Environment, Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts, Worcester Business School, Institute of Education, Institute of Health and Society, Institute of Sport and Exercise Science. Check out this short video to see where you could be studying next year! ExcursionsExcursions are organized by the program for you to explore various parts of the U.K. to enhance your experience both inside and outside of the classroom. Each semester you will go on 2-3 excursions which will vary in length from day trips to overnight stays. Some example locations and past favorites are Conwy, Wales, Bath & Stonehenge, and Cornwall, the Southern coast of England. Location Information
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.4 at the time of application Completion of 24 college credits by the time of program participation Accepted students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.4 while a Study in England Programme participant. The estimate 2013-2014 Study in England Programme fee is $26,150. The Program fee is comparable to the cost of UMD and includes:
Each student provides his/her own financial support for:
You can view the estimated total cost of the program excluding personal expenses here. Students also provide financial support for optional excursions, independent travel, souvenirs, gifts, clothing, and social activities. The amount of money that student's spend on these extra curricular activities vary by how much you travel, where you stay, what and where you eat, what tourist attractions you visit and how many, and many other individual factors. Alumni of this program say that they spent an average of $3,800 in addition to the program cost estimate during their 8 months abroad.

Giffords won reelection only because a purported libertarian ran on a third party line.Arizona has really shifted into a nitwit state, after being relatively sane for a long time.
#1 You are absolutely right. Only nitwit is too mild a term. My new congress-thing is a bi-sexual socialist who thinks stay at home moms are leeches. JD Heyworth used to represent my district. As a kid it was John Rhodes. Raul Grijalva an admitted drunken communist is no longer the worst member of congress from Arizona.
Sad day for Arizona & the country.Ms. McSally was the better qualified candidatebut she lost the ´sympathy vote´.
Sorry #2 but you´re wrong. Grijalva is still the worst if only because he´s MY congresscommie.
I pity people there. Arizona has become home to many fleeing Californians who, alas, often bring their voting habits with them. Also many affluent retirees from places such as Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa prefer Arizona to Florida.
See you in 2014 Ron, without the nitwit Obama voters.
darn it. McSally is fantastic, so accomplished, fearless. We sure could have used her in Congress.Too many people vote with their feeeelings, emotions, "lady parts" (as recommended by Demmies).
McSally is a terrific candidate. Her defeat to this twerp barber is a matter of hIghest regret.
It´s the people ´s seat.
Probably those late ballots from Port St Lucie County Florida put the RAT over the top.We´ll get this seat in 2014.
Just to pour some salt into the wound....
#4 let´s call it a tie. Sinema will make Debbie Schultz look like a right winger.What´s really sad is Republicans won the overall House popular vote in Arizona by the same margin Romney won, 53-44, but Democrats won the seat battle 5 to 4. With Grijalva, Sinema and Pastor we have three representatives whose ACU rating is in negative numbers.
The vote count in that race kept shifting back and forth. It was very close. I think she should have demanded a recount,
Arizona, find out how the democrat stole that seat and prevent it next time.

I apologize if you were referring to "Get & Set Affinty Changer", which is a great program for assigning cores and priorities. I am referring to "F@H Affinity Changer" which runs as a service and has no settings or core assignment. F@H A/C will override other affinity changers and should be used on SMP only machines due to the fact that is uses all cores to scavenge unused cycles. Sorry for the confusion.
buck... all i have to say is that i can hear FPL crying ... you are 25% of the entire TPU folding team atm.
Ok, where are you located if you know of the nefarious "FPL"? We should get together for some "Lan Folding"... On another note, sometimes when the planets are in the correct alignment we have the following phenomenon take place. Behold 16 instances of WU 50XX, all folding on Fahcore11 v1.15 I have to admit, I did dump a few 57xx WU's to get these. I wish it would last... Oh well, let me get back to my moment of Zen
Miami... and might i add its cold as &%&$ (for florida). also GPU console clients... how to? just download 2 and put in diff directories? lemme try that (i have a dummy plug workaround already going)
Ah, Miami. You either love it or hate it. I am in Port St. Lucie(near the Nuclear Power Plant ) PM me on the setting up the client.
That is somewhat crappy to dump projects to get more points. I just started my quad the other day and the first units are done now. SMP + GPU folding.
Thanks for jumping back in the fold. I can understand your feelings concerning my dumping of 3 work units. I rarely do this, except when deleting a client/work. I'm not gonna go into it, but I do want to say I reserve the right to do what I feel is right for my farm. Done!
Added two more. A few more to go with the SMP, and I can add a couple on with SMP plus the GPU client.
Sent 2 pms Buck, sorry hit the send button or something before I finished... Yeah, I'm getting tired of my 2nd card eueing on any 57xx job. At least if it's by itself, it'll fold. Congrats on 4 mil Buck! I keep reflushing jobs on my 2nd card, but it keeps sending new 57xx jobs at me, they won't stop! Some of the 57 jobs make my gtx280 run at 80c @ 100% fan....
I'm hitting top 20 in 2 days, why have so many producers stopped? We need everybody folding as much as possible!!!!
Darn, what's with all the 384 pointers, my 280 gets 8k ppd on them, but it's killing my points! Guess it'll take a day or 2 more to get top 20. On the plus side, I'm officially in the 200k+ point club! Yaaaay! (check my fah stats, more upto date). Still don't think I should of passed so many ppl so fast..... Fold On!
Need a nvidia card fast,I'm folding for 8 days now and get only 17K.Best deal i found at my local pc shop is a Evga 9600 GT 512 Megs for 155$(can)lol really too expensive before chrismas.I have to stop folding soon,my wife need my pc for her work so.......Hope i can found a nvidia card really soon.
Have you been using the newest 6.23 client? That seems very very low for the card you have. Honestly, the 9600gt would beat that, but I still think somethings wrong. Don't those 4850s oc fairly well? Wish I knew more about ati cards. Isn't there a 8.12 driver out now? Just some ideas...
yep i'm using the new client 6.23.If i left the card stock it give me 2300 ppd,now my gpu clock are at 650mhz and im at 3200ppd but can't overclocked my memory it crash right away,even with 998mhz.
Actually, leave your memory at stock, memory speed really doesn't help with this, shader speed is the most productive. If you leave your mem at stock, you might even be able to get a bit more out of your shader That ppd is starting to get close I think at oced speeds. Are you using 8.12? Sorry, realllly wish I knew more about atis.. still think you could get more.
ok i leave my memory at stock but try to push my gpu core around 675-680mhz.I download a mod driver 8.12, try it later tonight.
Ok yes, again forgive my ignorance, forgot ati ties core to shader, can you set fan speed on that? I'd set a higher fan speed if you can, and watch gpu temps. Don't burn that baby out! Not likely of course due to shutdown parms, but whatever it's stable at max in atitools, back it down a few for folding. I slightly baby my cards on oces, because they run most of the day.
Excellent, one gtx260 added, thanks trickson! Sorry, didn't get a thanks button in this thread for you, or I'd give you a 2nd! We Need GTX cards!!!!!!
Not a problem at all . this computer runs all day long ! most of the time I am not even on it so it might as well do some thing good , Right !
Wow, very nice, no temp issues there! Well, even at 3200ppd, it should do much better than 17k in 8 days now! And soon they will release a core that can properly use all shaders on that card, and you will get much better ppd.
Yea, all these big atom WU's are killing my little ol 8800GS's. Maybe I should switch my farm to GTX260's. Now how much would 18 of them cost???

'This road brought to you by…'
As the state budget inches closer to passage by the General Assembly, the Virginia Department of Transportation is hoping to raise money by selling the naming rights for roads, bridges and highway stretches. "We look for revenue generation opportunity where we can, and we try to be creative with it," VDOT spokeswoman Tamara Rollison said. She said it has been a struggle for VDOT to maintain Virginia's infrastructure in light of the department's financial troubles. "Our resources and revenues have been dwindling over the years," she said, noting that a 1986 gas tax increase was the most recent serious increase in revenue. "When we can find innovative ways to partner with the private sector and generate some revenue, we try to do that." On March 10, the final day of the regular legislative session, the General Assembly passed two identical bills authorizing the Commonwealth Transportation Board, VDOT's governing body, to sell the naming rights for such facilities as roads and ferries. "The Board shall develop and approve guidelines governing the naming of highways, bridges, interchanges, and other transportation facilities by private entities and the applicable fees for such naming rights. Such fees shall be deposited in the Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund," according to Senate Bill 639 and House Bill 1248. The legislation, which is awaiting Gov. Bob McDonnell's signature, says roads and facilities that already commemorate someone or carry a special name cannot be renamed "unless such naming incorporates the previous name." Moreover, "No name shall be eligible for the naming rights … if it in any way reasonably connotes anything that (i) is profane, obscene, or vulgar; (ii) is sexually explicit or graphic; (iii) is excretory related; (iv) is descriptive of intimate body parts or genitals; (v) is descriptive of illegal activities or substances; (vi) condones or encourages violence; or (vii) is socially, racially, or ethnically offensive or disparaging." Early projections of the prices and sales of road naming rights show that the program could raise a few million dollars per year and $273 million over the next 20 years. That's a mere fraction of VDOT's annual budget, which is $4.76 billion for fiscal year 2012. Still, every little bit helps, officials say. That's especially true as the General Assembly holds a special session to craft a state budget for the next two years. The House and Senate have passed competing budgets, and a conference committee is trying to hammer out a compromise acceptable to both chambers. The Senate version of the budget would delay the opening of tolls in Hampton Roads until 2014. This could cost the state an estimated $125 million. VDOT could offset some of the loss by selling the naming rights for roads. Virginia already has developed a naming rights program for its highway rest stops, slated to begin later this year. The central question is whether putting a name on a bridge or road will be attractive to consumers, especially to businesses seeking to expand their brand's reach. "I think the companies will love it," said Bridget Camden, a professor of advertising at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Every time someone hits MapQuest, the name would come up." Camden, who spent 20 years in the advertising world working with companies such as IBM, BP and American Express, said companies initially might jump at the chance to brand a highway with their logo if the price is right. But certain factors could deter businesses from buying the naming rights. "I think it could backfire on them if they can't control the stretch of road," Camden said. For instance, roads can have problems ranging from litter to prostitution – and those things could hurt a company's image. Camden said controlling the "brand message" and associations tied to a company is key for effective advertising. "Every company wants their name associated with something positive, but what if that stretch of highway is accident prone?" she asked. One possible solution is that companies not only buy the naming rights to the road or highway but also "adopt" the stretch and do some basic maintenance. "Big corporations become very conscious about how they look, so maybe it will be incentive to keep the roads clean," Camden said. |

Solid list management is a requirement for good lead generation, said Lori Wizdo, principal analyst at Forrester Research, yet few marketers are putting the two practices together. Today only a third of marketers remove bad emails from their lists, and only 22% have a policy around deleting inactive names, Wizdo said. And yet both of those things can affect delivery and, by association, lead generation.
"List management, especially segmentation, can bring better conversion," said Jill Bastian, training and education manager at Vertical Response, a provider of interactive marketing services. "A lot of marketers seem to think having the most people possible see their email will make something stick, but the opposite is really true. If you're sending specific information that your readers are looking for, you stand a better chance of getting them to engage in the email with your company and ultimately make a purchase."
Here are seven list management strategies that can improve your lead-generation efforts:
You can't add to a list—or find well-qualified prospects—unless you know who to reach out to. One of the best tactics is to spend time looking at your competition's websites. "See who your competitors' customers are," said Jeanne S. Jennings, a consultant for Email Marketing Strategy. "A lot of marketers put case studies on their sites. Some have entire lists of customer names. It's basic, but it's easy pickings."

Here's what I'm seeing so far in preseason football. I'm seeing a lot of sloppy tackling, players appear to be afraid to inadvertently hurt someone or get hurt themselves. I'm seeing announcers call games and the bobble heads acting like this is the regular season, where it's still just preseason. The mistakes made now are quite different than the ones made during game situations. Right now, QB's will take a sack from a guy brushing past them, rather than get smashed. Preseason football is a different game than regular season football.
Meanwhile, out in the NFC West, magic is happening. Just kidding. This is still my least favorite division, consistently producing mediocre division winners and making the rest of the league look freaking fantastic by comparison. The bobble heads are saying that the Rams might be a beacon of hope this season or some shit, but I highly doubt it. All four of these losers are gonna suck again, but hell, I gotta do this anyway. If you are a fan of any of these teams, speak up, cause it's gonna be a long fucking season.
NFC West
San Francisco 49′ers
Did Alex Smith have a banner year last year or what? What's that? The Niners finished 29th in passing offense? How's that possible with Smith having such a great year? Oh how the world of the NFL confuses me! Listen, Smith tossed a mere 17 TD passes and only 5 interceptions. It's easy to have a good year if you never throw the fucking ball. Well, now he's got Mario Manningham and Randy Moss (Randy Moss?) to throw to along with Crabtree and Davis. Not to mention adding Brandon Jacobs to the backfield, who can handle the pitch and run.
I love Jim Harbaugh coaching this team. Like a serious man crush on the guy. After a few negative coaching experiences, I think winning the division this year will be a good deal for a long team contract, especially if they hit that NFC title game again. I thought we were going to see them in the playoffs. The key to getting that far, and a spot that I think the Niners will be just fine on this year as well, was run defense. Teams just couldn't run against the Niners, which made the field easier to cover. That should continue this year.
The Niners are probably carrying the best defensive squad in the league as far as stopping scoring. I dunno how they'll fare on takeaways, but who cares if you are securely in the lead because the other team hasn't scored? I guess that's the question mark. We know Crabtree is a little bitch, and now Randy Moss brings his crazy to the party. Will they mesh? Probably. Moss knows he's lucky to still have a place on a roster, so he'll quietly not complain about getting passes. Yeah right.
Projected Finish: 11-5
Arizona Cardinals
What the fuck ever! Certain sports websites have the Cardinals finishing the season at 10-6. Are you fucking kidding me? Do they know that the quarterback choices are the amazing Kevin Kolb and the lights out John Skelton. Oh wait, those are adjectives reserved for QB's who aren't surrounded by suck. I mean, you can't play the Seahawks and Rams more than four times a season. Sure. I love Fitzgerald, Beanie Wells is hot and Michael Floyd is a good pick-up in the draft… this paragraph is too long.
Patrick Peterson and Adrian Wilson are great defensive players. The addition of William Gay there is going to help this secondary become second to none against some of the premier wide receivers in the league. And I'll give Wisenhunt some credit, the guy tends to work well with what he's got in front of him. He's just got to get more production from his offense and specifically – the offensive line. Have you noticed a trend in the NFL lately? Especially with team with shaky offenses? Bad offensive line play. How do teams fix that?
Teams fix that with coaching and not putting rookies on the ends. Rookies have no freaking idea what it is like to block a professional linebacker. The key for the Cardinals is going to be the defense though, that's where they are going to win games and that is where they are going to lose games. This team is probably the best in the NFC West, but because I see the Niners offense being much more productive, I don't have them winning the division.
Projected Finish: 9-7
Seattle Seahawks
When there is a QB battle in camp, and your choices are Matt Flynn or Tavaris Jackson, that just screams "mediocre season." Listen, the Seahawks haven't been impressive to me since they lost to the Steelers in a Superbowl they had no business being in. Since then, they have run a few surprises, but they really haven't been an impressive West Coast offense kind of team. Pete Carroll doesn't really scream "winner" in the NFL. Sorry buddy, but USC was stacked and the Pac 10 blows ass. Try that shit in the SEC.
So, the highlight on this team is the defensive secondary. Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman are two of the best when it comes to man coverage and help boslter a young defense. Sidney Rice has some new screws in his shoulder, and should give the defense some confidence when he scores touchdown after touchdown. Of course, he'll have to literally run up and take the ball from either Jackson or Flynn. You see, Flynn did well his one start in Green Bay because of the offensive line. No such luck in Seattle.
So what about Lynch? I think he's slowing down. He's close to that 30 year old limit for running backs, he's got no explosive game changing left in him. I could be wrong, but I think we'll see rookie Robert Turbin getting some early in the season carries. It's time to start grooming the next guy, brainwashing him to stay in the NFC West.
Projected Finish: 7-9
St. Louis Rams
I'm not going to sit here and spout lies at you. I had high hopes for the Rams last…. hahahaha. Just kidding. I knew they were going to suck. This year, the big change is Jeff Fisher coming out of retirement to lead the rams to what? Victory? Maybe a few times. The defensive minded coach also brought in Brian Shottenheimer to help on offense and Dave McGinnis as defensive coordinator. All these fun changes, what remains the same? Well, pretty much everything else.
Bradford is sadly still developing as a QB. If he played for the Browns, he'd have been replaced sixteen times already. Lucky him, he plays for the Rams. Here's the deal though, with Stephen Jackson in the backfield, and healthy it appears, the Rams under Fisher might have a better chance at playing some ground and pound smash mouth football, but Bradford has got to move around in the pocket better. He's still not going to have much of an offensive line and needs to adjust, which means move his feet instead of taking sacks.
The best offseason move is Cortland Finnegan coming in at CB. The Rams secondary is nothing to scoff at, as that is one area of the team where the suck is a little bit less, but I really like this move. Finnegan brings that backfield swagger that this team sorely needs. The Rams defense, even with Finnegan, is going to be a sore point for this team though. Their rush defense is terrible. I'm just hoping the Rams won't be as ugly to watch as they were last year.
Projected Finish: 5-11

As some of you may already know, I've been trying to achieve a full OBE experience for the past 2 years. During this time, I've only experienced three definitive OBE's, the last one being the most successful.
This morning, I attempted an OBE after waking up. I laid on my back, relaxed, and imagined parts of my body "turning off". Basically, the active parts of my body were lighting with activity, I then visualized it turning black as if to represent that part of my body going into a relaxed state. I then began to relax even further by drifting off. When stray thoughts came, I imagined them as frames on a roll of film and I then became conscious of their intrusion. In this way, the stray thoughts would still come but I would be successfully aware and wouldn't fall asleep.
I stayed this way for an unknown amount of time waiting for the vibrational state. It would come but oh so faintly and for only a fleeting moment. Once I felt my physical body as being nothing more than a bag, I tried to move/float/separate. I moved my head around. I felt as if my "second head" was moving ahead of my physical head. Almost as if they were out of sync. I basically tried as best as I can to move my second head away from the physical without moving too much (physically). After failing to separate, I decided to relax even more and wait for the vibrations. They came but only in my arms and parts of my legs. I imagined the vibrations moving all over my body but I did not feel them. Then, they went away. After this, I decided it was time to get out of bed and get on with my day.
I didn't succeed in having an OBE but the sensations were unmistakable. It should be noted that many of my family members were awake at the time and many disturbances were happening from noise to people walking in the room. I take this as a good sign in that despite all these obstacles, I was able to get somewhere. What I want to know is, how close am I to inducing OBE's on will? And I also want some advice/elaboration on the vibrational state and the separation techniques.
Thank you all and I wish you all success in your endeavors.
When vibration starts to occur, focus on it and try to amplify the feeling. This is essentially de-harmonizing your body, like a jamming signal, so you want it to be strong. Further, if your into chakra work, spinning your chakras backwards from there "healthy" direction does all this in about 5 minutes. It feels really awkward though, because it makes all your energy rush away from you, so it kind of feels like your dying. Though if you do try the exercise, remember to spin them back in there proper directions after your exercise is done.
It sounds like your making good progress though, best of luck.
One of the things I run into all the time whenever I get into serious OBE tries is the fact that after a while, I get stuck and I can't seem to go into a deeper state. Even when I do, I just seem to sit there and nothing happens. I'm not sure if the same thing will happen this time but if it does, I'd like to know what to do about it.
At this point, you a bit too lucid. Try to loose awareness of your state of depth, and your subconscious will release you. This is the most difficult part in my opinion, because the methods are uncertain. My only successful attempts with the same parallels of your condition have involved me completely loosing lucidity, then all of a sudden becoming awake with my soul feeling like it's being ripped from the flesh. After said point I was able to "jump" to any location of my choosing with full mental synchronization. In your case you may have to keep attempting methods, and perhaps through steeled resolve you will eventually succeed.
That makes A LOT of sense. I've always noticed that that only happens whenever I stay lucid. It's only when I "let go" a bit do I notice any sort of progression. The only problem I have is that I tend to fall asleep whenever I loosen my awareness. However, I think this is just a consequence of staying lucid for a long time and then trying to go into a deeper state. I think if I just go deeper without any pauses, I'll do just fine.
My only successful attempts with the same parallels of your condition have involved me completely loosing lucidity, then all of a sudden becoming awake with my soul feeling like it's being ripped from the flesh.
This is EXACTLY how my latest (and most successful) OBE went. You've definitely cleared up a lot for me. Many thanks bro!
Your welcome.
Astral projection is still a difficult one for me also, so if you have any insights or methods you would like to share for getting past that last membrane, it would be appreciated.
Hello everyone,
I have had 2 very good OBEs and I am consistently practicing the vibrational state so I can 'get out' whenever I want.
The first OBE happened 'accidentally' but with intention. I REALLY wanted to have one and each night before I went to bed, I intended to have one. One night I went to bed really exhausted and I think my body fell asleep almost instantly. I was suddenly standing in my bedroom with all the lights on. I thought 'who turned the lights on' and then I realized I was having an OBE. It was awesome!
My second OBE was intentional and I used Monroes technique. I find it really hard to lose touch with my physical body. I constantly feel itchy or that I have to swallow (so annoying). The 2nd successful time, it was really a struggle to maintain consciousness but once I was well into the vibrations, it felt like I was spinning through a crazy vortex. Then I fell through my bed and landed on the floor, under my bed.
I find that the most difficult parts are;
- getting out consistently. Letting go of your physical body while maintaining consciousness
- staying conscious while in the OBE. I find that I run out of juice (energy) and so the OBE is very short. Hopefully I can learn to get out more easily and stay conscious longer. That's my goal.
Thanks everyone!
If your running out of energy, jump to the higher planes for better energetic influx.

As new evidence arises in the burglaries of valley area residences, the Campbell County Sheriff's Department is continuing to make arrests.
A total of 21 burglaries that hit residences in the Glades Springs, Davis Chapel and other valley area residences are being solved by detectives, said Campbell County Sheriff Gary Perkins.
Event speaker Dr. Darryl Wilkens used both illustrations and information to bring attention to Diabetes at the awards presentation of essay winners hosted by the Lions Club of Campbell County Tuesday evening.
The crowd was larger than anticipated with students, winners, parents and teachers being awarded for participation.
Though Wilkins gave a lengthy presentation on Diabetes, the students being awarded had done their research and created essays about the condition affecting many Americans.
Though the discussion on extended library hours has been debated in the past, Councilman Joe Bolinger again addressed the possibility on Monday night.
The council determined an excess of funds are in the library budget that could be used for part-time help. Therefore the council decided it would open the library on Saturdays for five hours with a part-time person. Since part-time help is a budgeted item then there were no objectives to pursuing the extended hours.
When a call to the Jellico Police Department warned of an intoxicated person walking in the road, officers responded immediately earlier this month.
"The caller advised Jellico dispatch of a lady that had nearly been struck by a construction vehicle coming from the welcome center," said Jellico Police Chief Chris Anderson.
Detective J.J. Hatmaker was dispatched to Holiday Lane and questioned Carla Edwina Douglas, 27, about the allegations.
At the Monday night LaFollette City Council meeting Clyde Douglas addressed the council about construction on the Pleasant Ridge Bridge.
Douglas, a resident of the area, agreed the bridge was dangerous. However, he said straightening the bridge could make the bridge similar to a racetrack from one curve to the next.
Douglas questioned the council about safety precautions to slow traffic in the instance the bridge was straightened.
When Jeffrey T. Smith, 40, heard deputies were looking for him in response to a burglary, he did the right thing. Smith allegedly bought back the television he pawned and returned it.
Smith, 40, of 398 Shady Cove Road, Caryville, was camping at Mountain Lake Marina when a nearby camper trailer was allegedly broken into, said Campbell County Sheriff Gary Perkins.
The hard work and dedication of officers and firemen are rarely observed.
But the members of the Campbell County Masonic Lodge are changing that with a recent appreciation day held at Campbell County High School on Saturday.
Warm weekend temperatures brought many people outside. This included almost 80 volunteers who donned their work gloves on Saturday to cleanup the White Bridge area.
The group of adult volunteers, Girl Scout Troops 207 and 127 and County Mayor William Baird joined forces to tackle the almost impossible endeavor of ridding the White Bridge Park of trash.
Among the countless bags of trash and tires, volunteers tore down several dwellings that were erected by campers.

Product 120/1277
When hockey star Linc Carpenter is banned from playing his beloved sport, he starts over in Tampa. Master of the mixed metaphor, Linc knows he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's a lousy bartender, but doesn't know what else to do until he gets a shot at being a private investigator.
If he can prove that wealthy fashion designer Quentin Faulkner is cheating on his wife, this case will earn him big money. Faulkner's bodyguard, Brady Williams, proves to be the biggest hindrance to completing his assignment, other than his own ineptitude. Linc is shocked when Brady admits to being attracted to him. He's even more shocked when Brady turns down immediate sex because he's looking for so much more. Will their new relationship survive the dangers of this case?

The Willits City Council voted June 13 on the last few points of possible contention remaining concerning the 2012-2013 budget. The final budget vote is scheduled for June 27, but is likely to be only a formality since the council has already voted on all known issues at prior meetings.
The proposed 2012-2013 general fund budget projects a loss of $260,000, to be paid out of the city's $1.7 million in cash reserves.
City Finance Director Joanne Cavallari told the council the actual accumulated loss in the landfill post-closure fund was $332,000 instead of $1,034,000 as previously reported. That debt is shared by the county and city and will be paid off by the eventual sale of 230 acres of forestland adjacent to the old dump.
City Manager Paul Cayler told the council he had sent a formal letter to the county reminding it of its share of the debt and the need to consider liquidating the jointly owned acreage. The city also has $582,000 in working capital sitting in its landfill remediation account.
The other main unresolved open issue was whether the half-cent sales tax revenues could be used to offset the costs of some street maintenance, as well as for major projects such as the Central Street renovation. Annual street maintenance and traffic safety costs were estimated to be $540,000 for 2012-2013.
The city's share of next year's gas taxes is only $240,000, leaving $300,000 to be made up either from general fund reserves or from part of the $987,000 in revenues expected from the half-cent sales tax.
With only Councilman Larry Stranske dissenting, the council voted to take $140,000 from the half-cent fund and $160,000 from the general fund.
Some council members brought up hiring another engineering technician. This addition was not part of the proposed budget, but was discussed without resolution at the council's budget workshop. A new technician would add another $90,000 per year to the city expenses, but would potentially allow the city to engineer more projects, according to City Engineer Tom Mannatt.
After substantial discussion, the council left the budget as it was without adding another technician to the city payroll, expressing concerns about current economic conditions. Mayor Bruce Burton asked Mannatt how much time he spent doing engineering. Mannatt repliedvery little; he spent most of his time in meetings.
Three members of the public spoke in favor of adding the technician, favoring a plan to undertake more city projects.
