For today's marketers, nothing is off limits. Not your clothes, not the high school stadium where your teen plays ball, not even a public bus. Space is valuable. It means money.
For today's marketers, nothing is off limits. Not your clothes, not the high school stadium where your teen plays ball, not even a public bus. Space is valuable. It means money.
But there's a difference between individuals' choice to cede fashion decisions to a manufacturer, by wearing designer-emblazonend clothing, and the proliferation of commercials in the public sphere. Nowadays company and product names are plastered over just about everything. It's hard to attend a major league sports event in a stadium named for anything other than a well-heeled mega-corporation. Oversized billboards flash digital messages, municipal buses carry vehicle-size commercial messages, now even the urinals in the Lehigh Valley's IronPigs stadium have video ads. The company that created the ads, appropriately called "Captive Media," claims the devices make men "aim better" — and that they are effective ad locations.
All this represents a saturated capitalism, bringing us ever closer to the society depicted in that 1982 Ridley Scott film, "Blade Runner," a future world dominated by oversized digital advertisements. Humans flew through a crowded, ad-drenched cityscape with building-size billboards streaming filmed commercial messages, like Times Square on crack. Things aren't quite that bad yet, but they're moving in that direction.
Like people wearing designer logos, a community or a franchise that relabels an iconic location for corporate dollars loses some of its own identity in the process. The IronPigs team plays in ... Coca Cola Park. No sense of place whatsoever. "Coca Cola Park" could be anywhere in the world.
That's sad. But some public ad ideas are just plain wrong. School buses, for example. Last year the Parkland School District in the Lehigh Valley authorized a plan to let businesses place ads on the inside of its school buses, anticipating hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenues over the next several years. At what cost, though: subjecting children from kindergarten through high school to undiluted advertisements on a daily basis.
Then there are police cars. In Clarks Summit, near Scranton, police cars soon will have two 8-by-16-inch ads on the rear quarter panels, right under the blue "911." The department expects to get $6,000 in annual revenues. Please. Law enforcement, brought to you by Starbucks? What's next, ads inside casket lids at wakes? "This funeral brought to you by Ford"? Is nothing sacred?
Kalle Lasn, who edits the magazine Adbusters, describes the current trend this way: "It's a culture that's gone berserk." Lasn warns that consumers should resist this ongoing intrusion of commercial messages in public places.
Money makes the world go 'round, and advertising drives a lot of that money. Still, there should be limits, and children's conveyances and police cars are two areas no self-respecting community should sell to the highest bidder.

Script: Mike Cruden
Art: Garry Leach (as Gary Leach)
Letters: Peter Knight
Plot: In a harsh cold part of the Earth a Hunter drags his bounty of slain animals towards his settlement. Aware he is surrounded by a gathering pack of wolves he manages to warn off the majority with a series of gunshots, however one of them leaps at him intent on the kill. The Hunter is wounded but, after eventually managing to slay the lupine foe, he loads his kayak for the final part of his journey. Tharg's voice interjects to ask why we are seeing this Hunter, what is a tale of Canadian Hunters doing in the Prog?
Shock: The Hunter's kayak arrives at his settlement, a frozen tundra with Big Ben at its centre! Mankind is in 'the third Ice Age' and we have been witnessing life in London. The Hunter states 'They Attacked me in Battersea Park. It's a wild, lifeless place now. I won't go there again in a hurry!'
Thoughts: A very curious Future Shock that subverts the format by directly using Tharg's authorial voice to nudge the reader in the wrong direction before delivering an excellent switcheroo in a stunning final full-page splash. There is very little to the tale but a two page track-and-fight and then the final subverting reveal. Again Mike Cruden chooses not to burden his characters with over-detail, here we have a grizzly hunter stereotype, denoted by image and the most cursory of dialogue, whose purpose is to serve as the vehicle for the shock rather than engage the reader as a character. As with the previous Prog's Future Shock this mean everything turns on the quality of the shock itself and Cruden has shown he understands the importance of a strong final Panel. In an era long before Hollywood could CGI-destroy famed landmarks ten-a-penny, the sight of Parliament beneath an ice flow was a fantastic kicker and Garry Leach does a first-rate job in conveying it. Leach's art has moved up a notch since his debut in FS 28, delivering art with much greater detail (as well as more convincing head-gear). The stand-out element of his art is the degree of perspectives he uses, rarely showing two panels from the same horizontal or range, while still retaining the flow of the story with clarity and drama. He also draws one hell of a mean wolf. Cold Kill is very different fare to the traditional Future Shock, and Cruden's decision not to invest in character is in stark contrast to the rest of the comic, but it certainly is an excellent use of three Prog pages.
Shock'd? The reveal about London is very disjointed from the rest of the tale, a problem coming from the character being so impersonal and lacking a localised narrative or dialogue that can set up the reveal. In acknowledgement of this the unusual step of having Tharg's voice move from the traditional introductory spiel to directing the narrative mid-strip must be seen as an attempt to draw the reader back into thinking about the location to allow the 'shock' that it is London to work. On that level the drama of the two page fight is rather unconnected from the shock but given the beauty of the final splash page the editor and reader probably couldn't care less.

Dr. Glenn Van Wieren, professor emeritus of kinesiology and retired men's basketball coach at Hope College, will present the address "Life's Little Lessons" on Monday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
Dr. Glenn Van Wieren, professor emeritus of kinesiology and retired men's basketball coach at Hope College, will present the address "Life's Little Lessons" on Monday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Van Wieren will be speaking through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society to feature members of the faculty. The chapter will give away 100 copies of "Incarnate Leadership" by Bill Robinson and 50 copies of "Go for the Gold" by John Maxwell to the first 150 in attendance.
The title of the lecture series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The professors are being asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at Carnegie Mellon University by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer -- a fact known at the time that he spoke -- presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Van Wieren, who retired at the end of the 2009-10 school year, joined the faculty in 1966, and coached the Flying Dutchmen men's basketball team for 33 seasons.
He nurtured a basketball program that is highly regarded across all of NCAA Division III. Averaging exactly 20 victories a season over 33 years (660-219), he had just one losing season. The 2009-10 Flying Dutchmen posted a 21-8 record to mark a school-record 31st consecutive winning season. Van Wieren entered the 2009-10 season ranked the fifth-winningest coach in NCAA Division III history, both in victories (now 660) and winning percentage (now .751).
He guided the Flying Dutchmen to a record 17 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championships and appearances in 21 NCAA Division III post-season tournaments, including this past season. His teams advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen six times, to the Elite Eight four times and the final four three times, most recently in 2008. Hope finished second in the nation twice (1996 and 1998) and was third in 2008.
Van Wieren recorded his 600th victory faster than any Division III coach in history. He coached two teams (1983-84 and 1994-95) through unbeaten regular seasons. He coached in 87 "Rivalry" games against CalvinCollege, posting a 46-41 record.
In 2006 he was honored by the Grand Rapids Sports Hall of Fame with the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan in 2003. The college's alumni H-Club presented him with its "Hope for Humanity Award" during Homecoming this past fall.
While at Hope, he also coached baseball, cross country and soccer. He is among the winningest coaches in MIAA history with a total of 19 league championships in basketball, baseball and soccer.
Van Wieren graduated from Hope in 1964. He completed his master's degree at Western Michigan University in 1968 and his doctorate at Brigham Young University in 1973.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 228 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. During the 2010 Mortar Board National Conference in July, the chapter received the organization's highest honor for a collegiate chapter, the Ruth Weimer Mount Chapter Excellence Award. The chapter also received eight "Project Excellence Awards," including for the Last Lecture Series.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

The jury in the sex abuse trial of Coronation Street star William Roache will retire to consider its verdicts tomorrow.
Roache, 81, who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV soap, is accused of using his fame and popularity to exploit five youngsters between the mid-60s and early 70s.
His trial at Preston Crown Court, now in its fourth week, has heard from five women who claim he sexually assaulted them when they were 16 or under, either at Granada Studios in Manchester, in his car or at properties he owned.
In denying all the offences, Roache said he did not even know any of his accusers and had never had a sexual interest in underage girls.
Roache, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, is accused of two counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault on various dates between 1965 and 1972.
Mr Justice Holroyde told the jury of eight women and four men that he will complete his summing up tomorrow morning and would then send them out for their deliberations.
The trial continues tomorrow at 10am.

Not everyone's a wallet person. I'm certainly not a wallet person, despite the fact that New York's often-cash-only ways have goaded me into carrying one in my three-plus years here. It's bulky and heavy, and I don't like it, but there it is anyway, weighing down the bottom of my bag. I'd much rather be carrying a chic, minimal alternative like the Vianel Lizard V4 Card Case.
This little case is a great alternative for wallet-averse men and women alike. It'll fit a couple of cards and a folded up $20 just fine, avoiding the heft and clutter of a regular wallet for both everyday use or a night out, when something slimmer is necessary to stuff in a tiny clutch or the pocket of a well-fitted suit.

Steepest Street in the World
Contrary to popular belief, the steepest street in the World is NOT in San Francisco, but in Dunedin, New Zealand
1 / 2
When asked, "What is the World's steepest street?", most people would reply, "The zig-zag one in San Franciso" or "The one Steve McQueen had a car chase on in the film Bullit". They would both be referring to Lombard St in San Francisco.
Lombard St is definitely zig-zaggy and is steep but, compared to Baldwin St in Dunedin, New Zealand, it is no more than a gentle slope.
Baldwin Street is just another hidden gem in Dunedin, which of itself, is one of the South Island's greatest hidden gems!
Some Facts and Figures
Baldwin Street is located in the suburb of North East Valley about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) northeast of Dunedin's city centre.
It is a short straight street of a little under 350 metres in length, rising from 30 metres (98 ft) above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level at the top, giving it an average slope of slightly more than 1:5. Its lower reaches are of only moderate steepness, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete, for ease of maintenance (bitumen — in either chip seal or asphalt — would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is approximately 1:2.86 (19° or 35%) – that is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation rises by 1 metre.

What is a Noxious Plant?
DoD Poll. Prevention Strat.
Control Options
Noxious and Nuisance Plant Management Information System
Many noxious terrestrial and aquatic plants cause serious problems across the country. Problem plants include the terrestrial species snakeweed, knapweed, leafy spurge, various thistles, seepwillow, silver leaf nightshade, tansy ragwort, etc., and the aquatic plants waterhyacinth, waterlettuce, hydrilla, Eurasian watermilfoil, and water chestnut, among others.
Problems arise mainly because of the growth characteristics of these plants, which enable them to reach very large population levels relatively rapidly, thereby displacing and subsequently eliminating native vegetation. This in turn causes significant impacts to native wildlife including the elimination of endangered species, disruption of delicate ecosystems by the replacement of native vegetation, decreases in land use and value, reduction of recreational uses, hindrance of navigation along waterways, increased water loss, as well as increases in human health hazards associated with expanding mosquito breeding habitats. Traditional control procedures mainly involve the use of chemical applications, but these offer at best only short-term solutions, and their use is becoming increasingly more environmentally sensitive.
There are now more environmentally acceptable techniques and integrated procedures for noxious plant control. These techniques involve the use of biological control agents and offer environmentally acceptable and, in many cases, long-term answers for weed management. The use of biological control gained public acceptance as early as 1902 with the release of flower- and fruit-feeding insects for the control of
Lantana camara
. These insects successfully controlled the invasion of lantana in many areas of Hawaii. Since that time over 190 insects have been released to manage 86 weed species with over half of these attempts considered successful. The use of biocontrol for weed management has not been confined to only the terrestrial environment. Many successes have been achieved in the aquatic habitat. These have included the release of 12 insect species to control 4 problem aquatic plants since the beginning of the aquatic plant biocontrol program in 1959. Biological control is rapidly becoming recognized as an important and viable alternative management strategy for weed control. Since 1987, over 40 insect species have been introduced in the United States for the control of more than 15 weed species.
Because of the expanding number and complexity of available plant management techniques, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain pertinent and current information on their use. This is especially true for biological control technology, where a varied assemblage of both introduced and native agents are available for use on selected plant species. Effective use of biocontrol also requires an in-depth knowledge of the agents, life histories, collection techniques, and potential impact, as well as a working knowledge of basic population biology and ecological principles.

According to the Rouge Park Ecological Survey (1990, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources), the lower Rouge Park ecosystem is home to:
The Rouge ecosystem has also been recognized because it is one of 36 critical Carolinian sites remaining in Canada, and it boasts:
Of particular interest are:
This biodiversity would be considered outstanding anywhere, and is all the more significant considering the location of the park in the most heavily developed region of Canada, the Greater Toronto Area.
Pre-Settlement Rouge Forests
Rouge valley slopes supported forests in pre-settlement times that are similar to those today. On moist, north-facing slopes, Galbraith (1833) noted mixed forests of hemlock, maple, white pine and basswood. Drier, south facing slopes had forests of white pine, oak and beech.
Although sizeable First Nation farm clearings were made hundreds of years earlier, Ontario Land Surveys (1793) of the Rouge area describe almost continuous forest cover with only occasional openings due to windfalls and wetlands.
On the tablelands, moist uplands with clay or loamy soils supported deciduous forests of sugar maple, beech, basswood and white elm; and mixed forests of hemlock, white pine and hardwoods. On sandy or dry knolls, red oak, white oak and white pine were abundant. Scattered throughout the deciduous stands were large white pines rising above the deciduous canopy.
White pine was noted to be a dominant species in approximately 36% to 40% of the tableland forest areas, probably in part due to the favourable conditions for pine regeneration provided by native clearing, burning and farming activities hundreds of years earlier.
Just south of Steeles Avenue, Galbraith (1833) described a mixed forest of White Elm, Black Ash and maple. White cedar and basswood were described on the Rouge River bottomlands; a mixed forest of hemlock, white cedar, maple and basswood was found in the Little Rouge Creek bottomlands; a deciduous bottomland forest of maple, basswood, and white elm was found along a tributary of Little Rouge Creek; a deciduous swamp of black ash and white elm was found near the headwaters of a tributary of Petticoat Creek, and a white cedar conifer swamp was found along Morningside Creek.

text: Graduate School Admissions Workshop This workshop has been developed to help you navigate through the graduate school admission process to enter an advanced degree program that will help you achieve your career and personal goals. Whether you are looking into a program in medicine, law, science, humanities, social science or computer technology, this workshop has pointers to help with your application process. Topics in this workshop: Are you sure you want to go to Grad School? Choosing programs and schools Entrance requirements Tests Graduate essays and letters of intent Interviews Portfolios Auditions Decision process Application timeline Are you sure you want to go to grad school? Many students and alumni wonder if an advanced degree is the best course of action for their next career move. It's important to remember that graduate school is a major personal and financial investment. Before you embark on this new adventure, ask yourself these questions: What do you hope to gain from an advanced degree? How will a graduate degree enhance your career development? Are you willing and able to commit the time, money and energy to apply for admission and complete the degree? Have you figured out how to juggle graduate school with your existing responsibilities? Answering these questions requires an objective estimate of the costs and benefits of advance education along with a personal assessment of your career aspirations and needs. Some information that may help will be occupational information from the Occupational Outlook Handbook and the ONET. You will also want to assess financial aid information from Regis Financial Aid and the US Government when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Making a checklist of commitments and resources may help you to see how graduate school can fit into your schedule. Plan carefully how to pay for graduate school using a budget estimated with this worksheet. Some of the typical reasons people seek advanced degrees are: Career change Professional advancement Teaching at the college or university level Love of knowledge or desire for expertise in a field Enhanced salary possibilities Making oneself more marketable in a competitive economy If you are clear about your career goals and know that an advanced degree is the best way to achieve them, then graduate school may well be in your future. This online workshop is designed to help you make the most of the graduate school application process. Career Counseling If you are uncertain about your goals or whether an advanced degree is the best way to realize your dreams, there are several steps you can take to clarify your purpose. The Regis online workshop on Career Decision Making may help you sort out your career goals. You will also want to set up an appointment with a Career Counselor at the Regis University Center for Career and Professional Development. Along with career counseling, the Center for Career and Professional Development offers personality and interest assessments that often help students and alumni gain focus in forming career goals. Appointments can be conducsted in person at the Regis University Northwest Denver campus, or over the telephone via toll-free number or via Skype. All Regis students, alumni and staff may make an appointment by contacting the Center for Career and Professional Development at 303-458-3508, 1-800-388-2366 x3508 or email the Center for Career and Professional Development at firstname.lastname@example.com. Choosing Programs and Schools You will want to apply to more than one program. Many students apply to two or three schools in which they are most interested and an additional program where they are fairly certain of acceptance. Any school where you apply should be one you'd except an offer from, so you will want to know is much about each program was possible. Ask yourself these questions about the schools you are considering: How closely related is this program to your field of interest? How many students are in this program? And how many faculty members? Is the school or program well known? Is it in a location that is close to where you would like to live? Is the program offered online, if an online course might suit your needs? Is the program available to part-time students if needed? What is the cost? What types of financial aid are available? Does the program offer teaching or research assistant positions or fellowships for graduate students? Who are the lead faculty of the program and what are their credentials and publications? Are there particular faculty members who have published books or articles about your specific areas of interest within the field? How is the program funded? What are the entrance requirements? Are your GPA and test scores close to their requirements? The Regis University Academic Programs page provides information on Master's Programs in: Accounting Arts Biomedical Sciences Business Administration (multiple areas) Counseling Criminology Curriculum Instruction & Assessment Data Science Database Technologies Education Educational Leadership Elementary Education Emerging Markets Environmental Biology Finance & Accounting Health Industry Leadership Health Services Administration Healthcare Informatics & Information Management Human Resource Management & Leadership Information Assurance Information Technology Management Marketing Marriage & Family Therapy Non-Profit Management Nursing Operations Management Organizational Leadership Pharmacy Physical Therapy Reading Secondary Education Software Engineering Special Education Strategic Management Systems Engineering Regis also offers Doctoral programs in Nursing, Physical Therapy and Pharmacy. Another option in Regis graduate programs is a wide range of Graduate level certificates. These certificates usually consist of 12 to 18 credit that can be applied to a master's degree. Peterson's Guide to Graduate and Professional Programs is available in most libraries and is available free on the web. It is an easy way to discover graduate programs in your field of interest. You can search from a menu or do a keyword search that will bring up specialized concentrations within programs and related programs by state, country and Masters or Doctoral level. The best and most up-to-date source of information will always be each school's own web page. Other online resources include: Grad Schools.com Search geographically and by major for masters, doctorates and graduate certificate programs, as well as study abroad opportunities, online degree programs and fellowships. Grad Source Get detailed information on schools representing these programs: Business, Engineering, Fine Arts, Health, Science and Teaching. Access detailed profiles, compare schools side-by-side and request application packages. PhD Rankings Rates programs based on the factors you choose including faculty credentials and student demographics. US News and World Report College Rankings The free online version has some information. See the hard copy edition in the Library for more information. Entrance Requirements Carefully evaluate the requirements for each program of interest. You may want to apply to a few schools where you are fairly certain you will be accepted and a few that you prefer, but where the entrance requirements are more stringent. Entrance decisions generally are based on a combination of one or more of these criteria: Transcript Grade Point Average Related Undergraduate Major (or perhaps minor) Test scores Letters of recommendation Essay or letter of intent If you lack any requirements, look into taking prerequisites before you apply or enrolling as a non-degree student in the program. Official Transcript Many of the necessary requirements can be demonstrated in your undergraduate transcript. Most colleges and universities require a sealed official transcript, usually from all the undergraduate programs you attended. Some programs will want the transcript included in the application packet; others will want it sent directly. GPA Graduate school entrance requirements may include a minimum Grade Point Average. Some guides to graduate programs give an average or range of GPAs for entering students. When reporting your GPA, give the scale. Some schools use a 5.0 scales, although most use a 4.0 scale. (For example: GPA: 3.67/4.0.). Related Undergraduate Studies Some programs require a related major, minor or particular undergraduate coursework on your transcript. If a required course sounds like a class you took, provide the course descriptions from both programs to see if they might match. Test scores Many graduate programs require prospective students to take assessment tests as a predictor of success in graduate school. Information and registration packets are available in the Career Services Library or available online. Official scores are sent directly to the programs you specify. The test is usually administered on a computer, although some sites may administer a paper test, and is offered in multiple locations in every US state and many foreign countries. If you have special needs due to disability, let your test site know. Disability accommodates can be made at selected test sites. GRE Graduate Record Examination – Programs in Mathematics, Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities often require prospective students to submit GRE scores. There are three sections to the GRE. Verbal Reasoning - tests your ability to analyze relationships between words, phrases, concepts and ides in written text from a range of subject matter. Quantitative Reasoning - measures your skills in mathematics, algebra, geometry and data analysis. Analytical Writing - assesses your writing and critical thinking skills. The GRE also offers a variety of subject tests, which some programs may require. Registration, fees, sample tests and further information. MCAT – Medical College Admission Test - The MCAT is an all-day test with four sections: Verbal Reasoning – reading comprehension and analysis Physical Sciences – Chemistry and Physics Writing Samples – Two 30-minute essays Biological Sciences – Biology and organic chemistry Go to the MCAT page For more information about this test, to register and to order tutorials. DAT – Dental Admission Testing Program – This test gives a high correlation between test scores and grades in Dental School. It is usually administered at a Sylvan Technology Test Center. Some information about this test is available on the American Dental Association website. The DAT has four sections: Natural Sciences – Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry – 90 minutes SPerceptual ability – Shapes, angles – 60 minutes Reading Comprehension – Read, organize and analyze new information – 60 minutesThirdBulletedItem Quantitative Reasoning – Algebra, arithmetic, scientific notation, conversions to metric, probabilities, statistics, geometry, trigonometry, word problems – 45 minutes Download the test guides from their site. LSAT- Law School Admission Test – The Law School Admissions Council- has excellent information about the LSAT, as well as links to law school rankings, program web sites and admission information. Law school applications are usually kept by the LSDAS (Law School Data Assembly Service) that provides reports to schools with your application information and an academic survey that you fill out when you register. The LSAT consists of five 35-minute sections testing reading comprehension, analytical reasoning and logical reasoning, followed by a 30-minute writing sample. The LSAC site provides sample questions, registration and practice products for purchase. GMAT – Graduate Management Admission Test – Business programs often require GMAT scores as part of the application packet. There are three sections to the GMAT. Verbal Reasoning - tests your English language comprehension. Quantitative Reasoning - measures your skills in arithmetic, algebra, and understanding of graphic data. Analytical Writing - assesses your writing and critical thinking skills. Free preparation software and registration information is available at the MBA.com site. Letters of Recommendation Most graduate programs require letters of recommendation. Schools usually ask for three letters from a mix of faculty and employers to help them assess your prior success in school, work and related activities. Set up a brief appointment, in person if possible, with each person from whom you want to ask for a letter. Explain the purpose of the letter and describe the requirements of the graduate programs what will receive it. Most people writing letters for you will appreciate a little information about the programs. Bring a resume and an unofficial copy of your transcript for them to review if they like. Most of all they want to know about your goals and reasons for applying to graduate school. All this information will help them write an effective letter. Some graduate schools want a recommendation form filled out or specific questions answered in the letter. Many schools will want the letters sealed, with a signature across the seal. Some will want the letters sent with the rest of the application packet. Others will want the letter sent separately. Fulfill the requirements for letters of recommendation exactly as they are stated in you application packet, including method of delivery. Ask one more person for a letter than the requirements of your program specify. That way, if someone does not get around to writing the letter, you have a backup. Be sure to send thank you notes to everyone who writes a letter of recommendation for you. Stay in touch with them and let them know where you are accepted. Graduate School Essays / Letters of Intent / Personal Statement Frequently the graduate essay is the most challenging part of the application process. Every graduate program has unique requirements for essays and letters of intent, but most schools require these writing samples for several common reasons. Because graduate school grades are based largely on written papers, the essay is another predictor (along with GPA and test scores) of your potential success as a graduate student. The essay usually addresses your reasons for attending the program. Your personal statement helps them determine if the program you are applying to actually meets your needs and aligns with your goals. Your commitment to the professional outcomes of the program and your maturity will be evaluated. The committee reviewing your essay will be looking for the unique contribution you bring to the program. Ten Tips for writing an outstanding graduate essay: The most critical part of writing a successful essay is to carefully read and closely follow the essay instructions for each school for length and content. Some schools will want a brief statement, others will want a longer essay, and some school will require several essays on different topics. You may be able to re-use parts of essays to meet the requirements for different schools, but assume that each essay will be a unique document. Create a working draft to revise before typing anything on the essay part of an application sheet. Be clear, direct, honest and concise; don't ramble. More is not always better. Make a strong, confident case for your participation in graduate school. Demonstrate your unique qualities. Avoid clichés. Your work should be original so, unless specified, avoid or limit quotes. Use your own writing style without slipping into slang or sloppy grammar. Keep your tone positive. Use the essay to demonstrate your knowledge of and enthusiasm for the program and profession. This is not the place to make excuses for mediocre undergraduate grades or low test scores. Check you work carefully for spelling and grammatical errors, as well as coherent paragraph and sentence structure. Type or word process the essay; do not hand write it. Have it reviewed by an academic advisor, instructor and/or Career Counselor for spelling, grammar, format and content. Be sure to give them a copy of the essay guidelines. A Career Counselor at the Center for Career and Professional Development can help you review your entire application packet prior to submission.

Interviews Whenever possible, schedule information interviews with faculty and department chairs of programs that interest you. Many programs require an interview as part of their evaluation process. Even if they don't require an interview, try to talk to someone. The more you find out about the school, the more likely you'll chose a graduate program that matches your needs. This is an environment where you might spend a lot of time and money. The day on campus for the interview may be a good time to meet current students, explore or tour the campus and get a feel for the environment. The interview also helps the selection committee put a face to the name on your application packet. Meeting in person often helps both sides feel confident about the decision. In many programs, especially doctoral programs, you will need to establish a close relationship with an academic advisor or faculty mentor. Some programs may opt for a telephone interview, if you live far away, but try to visit in person. Preparing for a graduate program interview is similar to preparing for a job interview. Do your homework. Find out as much as you can about the program, its focus, faculty and standing. Find out how long the interview will last and with whom you will meet. Read up on the publications of key faculty members. Remember what you want from your graduate school education and prepare questions to ask during the interview. Dress up for the interview within the culture of the school. If you get a chance to visit the campus before your interview, this will help you aim for a conservative variation on what you see among the graduate students. Remind yourself of your own best qualities and motivations and be prepared to talk about them. Relax! You are looking for a good match between your interests and a suitable graduate program. Arrive 10-15 minutes early to give yourself time to look around and settle in. Be sure to get the names or business cards of everyone with whom you speak. Send a brief note after the interview thanking them for their time and expressing your continued interest in that program. Portfolios Certain programs, particularly those in fine arts or advertising, may want to see examples of your work. A portfolio can demonstrate your experience, skills, abilities and talents. Just as with the graduate essay, follow the instructions from the program carefully in submitting a portfolio. They may request a specific number and type of original pieces, copies or photographs of your work. Your portfolio may be in hard copy, video or electronic format, depending on the length and format preferences of the program. Avoid sending originals of your work in your application packet, unless requested. If you send originals, include a self-addressed, stamped, reinforced envelope for their return. For a list of potential materials for your portfolio, refer to the Portfolio tab of the Regis Center for Career and Professional Development website at www.regis.edu/ccpd. Auditions Performing arts programs will often require an audition before acceptance. Auditions may be in person or recorded, depending on the program. The audition may replace the interview process or supplement it. While in-person auditions include the obvious stress of live performance, they give you an opportunity to meet the faculty and other students, to get a feel for your comfort with the program. As with any part of the application, follow their guidelines for length and format. Seek feedback on the audition you prepare with faculty and students in your undergraduate program. The Decision Process While the decision process varies from school to school, there are some common problems with graduate applications that can effect successful admission: Application packet is late or incomplete Recommendation letters are missing, negative in tone or present a very different set of qualities than the committee sees in successful graduate students Grades or test scores are lower than the program standards Prerequisite courses are missing from the transcript The essay lacks depth or indicates a lack of commitment to or preparation for the program Lack of relevant experience in the field It is helpful to find out when the committee will make their selections and how they will notify you. Formal notification is usually by letter, but you may be able to find out over the telephone. Find out if the department secretary or a faculty member can tell you over the phone, if you need to know before accepting a place at another school. You can usually wait until April 15 to respond to a financial aid offer for the fall term, so you will have some time to accept a spot in a program and change you mind later if a better offer comes along. If you do not get accepted in a program of interested, make some calls and find out how you can be more successful if you apply again next year. Sometimes prospective students are given the option to take classes as a non-degree student if they plan to apply again. Most students forget that graduate school acceptance is really a mutual decision. Your part of this decision includes choosing the schools to which you apply and deciding which placement offer to accept. Career Counselors can provide support for the graduate school application and decision making process.

I like the discussion going on here.
I agree that Hirano does seem to slide into impish mode, which she does wonderfully and with that touch that makes it truly humorous, but it could very well be intentional on both her and the directors' parts. Konata seems to be a mostly flat character, defined by her otakuness of singleminded devotion to anime, manga and games. This works fine in 4 koma which you read, laugh, then put away in 10 seconds. To make her more appealing and entertaining in a 20 minute format, I think the staff have chosen to develop other previously unseen qualities in Konata.
Vexx, I also agree that Kagami is more on the money, but she also has an easier and better defined part to play. Tsundere/tsukommi are commonly understood concepts, but there has been no such development along the same archetype for "lazy otaku girl".

So I'm giving them all some pointage for understanding the variations from the "standard archetype" these characters have.

Aah, I understand now. I thought you meant the little mumblings and I couldn't really see why that was a problem at all.
I have noticed that Kona has a lot of extra breathing sounds, though I didn't notice them at all in Haruhi... Sometimes it *is* a little weird, but sometimes it also seems to fit real well (like the sounds Kona makes when sneaking to put soap behind Miyuki... though she wasn't talking at the same time). In any case, it hasn't bothered me, but I also haven't been looking for it... now that I know Hirano has a habit of doing this, I'll probably end up noticing it more and more... As long as it doesn't become outright distracting, I don't mind.

Just say for example, a normal sentence, but written in English for the sake of readership, like this:
I like curry, because I think it's tasty, and I like tonkatsu the best.
If talking about meaningless words and sounds in Japanese, it would sound something like this:
I like curry, (er pause) because I think it's (um pause) tasty. (etto pause) and I like tonkatsu the best (um yeah).
Aya's delivery of a sentence will usually go like this:
I like curry (heavy exhale on last syllabal), because I (throat noise emphasis) think it's tasty (another throat noise on syllabal), (little breath inhale) and I like tonkatsu the best (emphasis on "t" sound).
For characters like Haruhi and Misa who are hyper and talks really fast it works good because you can picture someone always talking so fast and with much force in their speech needing the exchange of breathes etc, and actually giving it a more natural feel. But for someone like Konata where you can listen to every syllabal she speaks, it's very grating for me personally. And I really think she needs to tone it down.
I hope this clears up what I mean.

What houkoholic just said is what I thought he meant and what I hear, too. The difference is that I like it. The excess breath and spit-filled mushiness makes a unique and funny character for me. And I think the breathy hesitancy she uses for Layla is very emotionally expressive, even if it isn't totally naturalistic. I didn't like the whole way Misa was presented, myself, so I never got to the point of considering voice qualities.
Like I said, I sometimes think pro seiyuu are too smooth. They can seem like announcers rather than actors. It sometimes seems to me that they are trying to match a standard voice, rather than communicating a character or creating something new. But I even go so far as to like some totally untrained voices, so.... In any case, I can see why someone might think Aaya kind of unsubtle and extreme, particularly here. But I like it.

@houkoholic: Ah...... I see
There's probably some wonderful linguistics symbology that describes that perfectly...... (just spun through a few Kona lines of dialog... yeah, she could tone it down....) Just noticed she was even doing the straw slurp noise at the fast food joint, but that I'll label 'attention-to-detail'.

Thanks for the clarification Vexx, was not aware that happened in the comic.
I think the strange speaking mannerisms actually work here for Konata. Her mush-filled mouth is distinctive and belongs to a socially stunted nerd. To go along with what Kaoru was saying, sometimes pro seiyuu start being too good at it...like Hocchan and her moe. With her television appearance on Hey x3 lately and her Suzu in Airantou, she sounds like she's too conscious of the moe appeal and dials it in with intent. But as Shingo of Heisei Demo once noted, moe is best when you can believe it comes from someone utterly ignorant of her own appeal and after a decade of doing it, Hocchan doesn't give quite that anymore.
Long story short, Hirano is approaching it as a relative neophyte, which gives it some moe credibility (and I think she is supposed to be very moe), and the mannerisms work in that Konata sounds twisted.

I was thinking the same thing, but there was something else I notice.
Konata intentionally tries to make her own speech delivery more interesting, not just through her choice of mangling words but through her extra sounds and intonation. She does it a lot less when she's alone, though. Just like her desire to annoy Tsukasa, she takes her daily interactions as an opportunity to perform for her own amusement (probably because she'd find human interaction boring otherwise).
I'm much the same, although it manifests in a different way. I just learned to tone it down around "normal people".
Without seeing her speech patterns from the manga, I'm not sure how much of this character trait is unique to the anime, but as "performance-inclined" as Konata is, I get the feeling it's not just Hirano trying to sound unique for the role, but genuinely trying to portray the character. After watching different interviews with her at different times, I get the feeling that Hirano is much like this herself, though (her widely-varying "real voice" is a good indicator of that). She says that pretty much her first shot at the voice after reading the manga is what they used (aside from frequently having to make it sound more lethargic), so she probably picked up the idea that Konata might sound that way from the manga itself.

It is fairly difficult to translate what Kona is saying in the manga at times because she intentionally mangles her words and grammar so much. Given what I've been able to absorb from the manga -- Aya's doing a fair job. This *is* one of the reasons I prefer japanese seiyuu's to most english VAs .. they actually take the time to research their characters. I rarely get that sense from the english dubs.
If I were doing "read aloud story time" with the comic, I'd probably be coming up with much the same wild variation in tone (depressed monotonic, almost manic, doing 'voices', etc)

Like Mizuki Nana's first appearance on Heyx3, Hocchan got caught out. Both Nana-chan and Hocchan were acting the way that they would in front of their fans thus making them perfect make fun of material in the eyes of normal people, Aya (or her management) is the one that's playing smooth here where they got her to switch into a different mode to play the innocent cutie.
There's an article I've wrote in my blog comparing the first Nana-chan appearance with the Aya appearance, you can read it here.
A pro in any field delibrately trying to act amateur is very very hard, and the result is usually awkward. That's the feeling I get with Aya in Lucky Star.

While your perspective on Hey x3 is appreciated, it still doesn't really address what I was saying. Let me clarify my previous post. No matter what the intention of the management of Hey x3 is, they still had a 30 year old woman come on and have her do cutesy, 17 year old things without a hint of embarassment but rather a sense of "been there, done that".
Hirano is still a neophyte in many ways, IMO, because while she has been in the industry a long time, her roles have never quite fit into a mold. Going back to Hocchan, we can't even begin to count how many moe/protagonist/love interests she's played. Hirano has a couple of bit roles, an unusual protagonist in Kiddy Grade, the gungho Haruhi, a bipolar SM/oneesan in GA Rune, and so on. Another good point to note is while she started awhile ago, she hasn't worked on it full time until recently because of education.

Since some people have hinted that I should try saying something more positive for a change....I will:
This is about the Seiyuu they've chosen for Konata's father, his name is Hirokazu Hiramitsu. I'm probably one of if not the only people here familiar with who he is and his only major past role in Daba Myroad from Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Daba Myroad was a character kind of like Luke Skywalker (They both even have Light Sabers), who suffered immense hardship, but instead of angsting about it or letting it control him or defeat him, he turned his sorrow into strength almost instantly. Through this he was able to conquer not only his own weaknesses, but win over the respect and loyalty of other's in his rebellion against an emperor who used the power of Bio-Relation to remain immortal and invincible (Daba's power to relate to other lifeforms suffering through empathy was more than likely the true Bio-Relation and that is how Poseidal the emperor fell). This is the kind of character Hirokazu Hiramitsu portrayed and I think this is a perfect fit for Konata's father who despite losing his spouse, has turned his loss into the strength to give extra love to his daughter, and she seem's to have learned this too as she has not let her mother's death get to her as we have seen.
So extremely good casting choice, kudos.
Here is also what he might sound like once he get's to speak, but it has been almost 25 years (He's the guy with the black hair and red scarf, ignore the Fairy).

I actually agree with houkoholic that Aaya isn't inexperienced. I think the roughness of her delivery is just her style. I was contrasting it with the smooth "pro" delivery of a Hocchan, but I didn't mean she wasn't a pro. However, what Wavedash says in his most recent post is also true: she is only now really devoting herself to her profession.
I think it's a bit much to count her experience back to the age of nine, when she was put into a kids' drama troupe, but she has been doing at least one anime a year since she was 14. And there are lots of clips around from her brief stint as part of the idol unit Springs. However, I think she has really been learning a lot over the past year. But I would be really disappointed if she homogenized her delivery so as to make it more standard and acceptable. I hear some of that from Yahagi Sayuri and Saitou Chiwa recently and it seems a shame to me to not hear their very individual voices.
I don't know how much Aaya fakes things, but my sense is that she is a very tense and nervous person and never quite sure of herself. She may not be an amateur, but I think she's still "young" psychologically. I feel certain there is a "stage mother" in the background somewhere, although she never talks about her family. She seems physically and mentally vulnerable, although I don't know how much of that might be an act. I don't think much of it is, but I don't know. The collapse last November was real, and her weeping is clearly real, when you see or hear it. I thought it was telling when she said that she just enjoyed all her voice-acting when she was younger, but since Haruhi she feels more responsibility and it's more nerve-wracking.
When she came on stage for the NHK interview last month, she did the super-high-voice-genki thing. It took about 20 minutes for her to settle into a much lower voice and a more serious presentation. I think her normal voice is a mid-range one -- somewhere between super-genki and Layla -- but once again it's hard to be sure.
houkoholic's blog entry was great. I'm now going to look for the Nana and Hocchan Hey3 interviews. I'm not sure how Aaya's people could have rigged the audience to get more girls in it, but it was a great inspiration if they did. As for her true character, I thought it showed a bit on one interview: when guest and hosts drew something, and she was clearly frustrated and embarrassed (but trying to hide it) that her drawing was not as well done as the other woman's.
Now, on a less serious note, here are three photos from Aaya's blog over the past few days: two wearing her Death Note outfit (she says she wants to use it for a live event sometime), and one in twintails (she said it was the first time she had ever succeeded in doing them herself). She was grabbing a bite to eat as she rushed from one meeting location to another, when the location was changed. She says the past nine months working on Death Note have been tremendously enjoyable.

Spoiler for for those who want to be surprised by his quirks:
Hopefully, they'll give us some good screenshots of him and Kona-mom during a photo-album browsing. I suppose this will be the real test of "where are the male characters" in this sort of show... he does have a significant presence in the manga.
@Kaoru: what is Aya eating in that last picture? The wrap looks like a manju pancake thing but I can't figure out what the filling is.

If you ever get a chance, check out Nana-chan's second appearance on Heyx3, in that one they stopped making these "otaku traps" for Nana-chan and it turns out to be a very normal interview, an interview where Nana-chan even make a few comebacks on the hosts.
Frankly I would rather have her act more to her own image, but sadly that's not how the idol industry works.
As for the weeping, I hate to stereotype but Japanese people weep a lot. Most of it has to do with them not seeing weeping as a sign of weakness but instead they like the geniue display of emotion. I've seen many seiyuu cry, male and female, and that's not an overstatement.
To apply for the audience you send in an email to Lantis (not Heyx3) and in it you have to specify your sex and age, they would also double check on your identity on the day of entry because they specifically said you must bring a photo ID to confirm that you're said person if you won the lottary. A 2ch poster also said on the day the producer delibrately moved all the girls to the front seats as well. It's all plan, a little too well planned in fact.
Also don't forget that Heyx3 is a mainstream music show, the audience aren't necessarily drawn from the Aya lottary as some attendents are fans of other musicians.
FWIW, neither the Nana nor the Hocchan one had these requirements, so draw your own conclusions.
Finally, while I may sound like I'm ranting against Aya, I must say that I do in fact like her a lot, I just don't like how her management is handling her in this specific way which is pushing a certain very well crafted image of her which I don't know is the real her or not. It feels like they are handling her like a normal celebrity and frankly if I want normal celebrity I wouldn't be looking for one in the seiyuu circle.

Funny that many otaku despise that which they themselves are prone to in their own way
I rather like the variants like Aya (I get the impression that Asakawa Yuu also thumbed her nose at convention at times -- particularly in her music)
Houkoholic ... a lot of your posts seem to point to some of the more acidic spears from Megatokyo being on target in some respects.
((lets see... 1) a land of heartstoppingly cute women who want to be all kinds of different things 2) a land of guys who seem stuck on one stereotype alone for the "perfect" mate 3) plummeting marriage and birth rates 4) QED: a land of opportunity for any guy with a clue about what women want --- the preceding was only partly in jest))
