Yukari has short, light-brown hair and brown eyes. She is slightly shorter than the male and female protagonists. She is often seen with both her hands behind her back, except when holding her bow.
At school and in Tartarus, she wears a pink sweater jacket, a loose red ribbon, a black mini skirt, black stockings with white lines, and a heart-shaped choker. On the weekends and days off in the winter, she is seen wearing a long pink jacket and brown boots. On the weekends and days off in summer, and in A Certain Day of Summer, she wears a pink tank top with orange straps and detail, and faded navy blue pants. She is never seen without her heart-shaped choker except when in a bath towel (during the July Operation only male protagonist's storyline and Kyoto at their third day), in her pink and blue two-piece swimsuit (during the beach excursion in Yakushima), or in her kimono (during both the Summer and New Year's Festivals).
In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, now 19 years old, she reappears and is wearing the uniform of Pink Argus. Her casual outfit consist of pink top with white lace design, light navy collar short jacket, light beige short shorts, and brown high heel boots.

- —Yukari, on the future and happiness
Yukari is very popular in Gekkoukan High School and is also known as the girl who rejects a lot of guys. Her hobbies include archery and acting for drama. Her favorite color is pink.
Though she is known for her major mood swings, Yukari is actually friendly and caring towards her peers, especially towards Fuuka, and later, Mitsuru. She is careful not to let anyone get too close to her because of her 'shady' past, and constantly teases Junpei because of this (e.g. Stupei). She opens up to the protagonist because she thinks they can relate in their parental issues. Also, whenever someone makes a perverted remark towards her (usually Junpei or Ryoji), she will respond by either stomping on their foot or slapping them.
Yukari despises the Dark Hour, and feels it takes away innocence. She wants to live a decent life, and feels that her situation chains her back. However, Yukari goes through with it because she realizes how vital her role is as there are limited Persona users.
She tends to make some bad choices, such as entering dangerous territory and calling the people in it "scum". Her attitude in The Answer leads to conflict in the group, as Yukari wants another chance to defeat Nyx without the Protagonist dying in spite of the risks it entails. She becomes more and more angry and distant from the rest of the cast, especially Aigis. However, this is because Yukari is in deep grief and sadness, and has been emotionally suffering alone. Yukari realizes this is selfish, and admits that she does not care about anything else in the world except seeing him again. After expressing her feelings to the party and being comforted by Mitsuru, she slowly begins to accept the protagonist's sacrifice and becomes closer to both Mitsuru and Aigis.
Yukari also has phasmophobia, the fear of ghosts and is easily spooked, which Junpei, Akihiko and Ryoji often take advantage of by intentionally spooking her or telling her ghost stories to agitate her. Yukari's phasmophobia is also symbolic of her fear of death.
Persona 3Edit
Yukari's deceased father, Eiichiro Takeba, worked for the Kirijo Group while they were conducting Shadow research. He was opposed to the idea of bringing about The Fall, a stance that caused him to be killed by Mitsuru's grandfather. These events created most of the problems that SEES is forced to overcome. After discovering this, she feels guilty that her father was involved, and becomes more irritable and distant from the other members of SEES. However, the discovery of these events also helped Yukari come to terms with Mitsuru, since they actually had a lot in common regarding their pasts. Eventually Yukari realizes her faults, and her Persona evolves into Isis after watching a video of her father.
Yukari's mother dealt with the pain from the loss of her husband by dating numerous shallow boyfriends and essentially abandoned her daughter. Yukari and her mom even had to move multiple times, just to get away from the backlash of blame and vitriol for Eiichiro being held responsible for the deaths of many Kirijo Group researchers, even though the details of Eiichiro's role were not entirely clear. Yukari ends up alone, which, coupled with the distress of losing her father, caused her to become quite introverted, which helps her connect with the protagonist, making him the only character (aside from Fuuka) to which she opens up. Learning about her father's supposed involvement in the creation of the Dark Hour and Tartarus causes her to have an emotional breakdown, and it is implied that she falls in love with the protagonist when he consoles her; this is hinted at several times in Persona 3 and confirmed in The Answer.
Yukari Takeba becomes a dorm mate and classmate of the protagonist. She joins SEES prior to the protagonist's arrival. She is first seen in the introduction of the game holding an Evoker to her forehead, giving the impression that she is going to commit suicide, but she eventually drops it. When the Protagonist arrives at the dorm, Yukari guides him around the dorm and his school.
Yukari's zeal for investigation brings a lot of trouble, but also brings the group valuable allies and information. She often overestimates her capabilities, getting herself and others into risky situations beyond her control. She has a high aptitude for magic and her Persona excels in wind and healing spells. She is regarded as the heroine of the game, as she possesses several qualities typical to an RPG heroine, such as being a healer, and wielding a bow and arrow.
Yukari is popular at Gekkoukan High School due to her cheery disposition and good looks, but she is careful not to let anyone get too close to her. Yukari's relationship with Junpei Iori was a childhood one, and her teasing of him was frequently returned, although the two seemed to be on a relatively good basis. Yukari hides her true motives from the group, and represses her emotions and her mood swings frequently in the game. From the start, she dislikes Mitsuru Kirijo, likely due to jealousy of Mitsuru's inhuman superiority and the conflict resulting from their fathers. She's initially unhappy with Fuuka Yamagishi joining the team, largely because she believes that Fuuka had no choice in the matter, but she soon befriends Fuuka, and trusts her enough to ask for her help in investigating her father. Despite being hard on her teammates initially, she overall expresses a great deal of concern for all of their wellbeing, which likely plays into her role as a healer. At the start of the game, she has the most trouble summoning her Persona because she is distressed that the use of an Evoker requires one to mimic the act of suicide.
Just like the previous games, Yukari is an available Social Link. However, if the player chose the female protagonist, there are no requirements to start her Social Link. The Social Link starts when the player talks to her in the classroom on or after April 28th. Her social link is similar to the male protagonist but slightly altered. Instead of falling in love like in the original, Yukari first talks to the female protagonist about the time she summoned her Persona and other events. Through the Social Link, she talks about friendship, boyfriends, and the female protagonist will give her advice, and Yukari looks forward to having a friend who understands her. But in Social Link 7, she protects Yukari from being run over by a car and gets injured. Yukari becomes extremely worried about the female protagonist getting hurt because of her. It is then revealed that she doesn't want to lose someone she cares about. When the player maximizes her social link, she decides to hold off getting a boyfriend for a while and decides to hang out with the female protagonist to enjoy the company of her best friend. Fuuka was also involved in events with Yukari and the two seemed to get along quite well on the female route, giving a sense of unity amongst the new members of SEES, and if the protagonist does not have a boyfriend, they will spend Christmas together.
Additionally, maxing out her social link on a New Game+ as the male character will allow the player to spend time with her during the final cutscene rather than Aigis. Unlike Mitsuru and Fuuka, Yukari's ending (along with Aigis') is canon due to the events of The Answer.
There are several unchanged lines from the male protagonist's Social-Link. For example, Yukari will say that since she and the female protagonist started "going-out" and that she's changed a lot—both things that Yukari said in the male protagonist's Social-Link.
This also happens outside of the Link: During the hospital scene after the Magician Full-Moon boss fight, although Yukari's text says, "I've been hiding so many things from her. As soon as she wakes up, I'll tell her the truth", the voice-acting instead says "he" and "him". However, that error only occurs if you picked "I was scared, too." Choosing "It's not your fault" makes her correctly say "she" and "her".
Social LinkEdit
In The Lovers S.Link, the protagonist helps Yukari mend her relationship with her mother. Since Yukari is very popular, he must maximize his Charm statistic in order to ask her out. If the protagonist makes the correct choices, Yukari will fall in love with him. If the player chooses not to date any of the girls, Yukari will appear for the Summer Festival.
The AnswerEdit
After the protagonist's death, Yukari is the only one who seems reluctant to return to the dorm. Upon being invited by Fuuka to return to one last time, she promptly declines, saying that she has cram school to attend. Yukari is haunted by the protagonist's death because she was never able to properly say goodbye, thank him or make peace with him before he died.
When SEES realizes that strange events are happening in the dorm, she is called to return, which greatly annoys her. Throughout the investigation of the Abyss of Time, Yukari appears irritated that Aigis inherited Orpheus, along with the protagonist's Wild Card ability. Despite her frequent mood-swings, the members of SEES seemingly tolerate her.
Upon defeating the manifestation of SEES' negative wills and collective desire to see the protagonist, she realizes that they have the ability to travel back to the time where the protagonist seals Nyx. Enraged by Aigis' indecisiveness about whether to return to the past, Yukari lashes out, revealing that she's jealous of Aigis for being together with the protagonist and hearing his last words during his final moments. She proclaims that she wants to go back and stop the protagonist, which is opposed by Akihiko and Ken since it would be disrespecting his will, with Junpei adding that by stopping the protagonist's actions, SEES would essentially undo their efforts of stopping the Fall.
As their opinions differ, the SEES members separate to fight each other to determine which one is right. Only Mitsuru supports Yukari's decision. When Aigis and Metis defeat all of the SEES members, Yukari finally admits her grief over the protagonist. She made a promise as well, but unlike Aigis, it was to herself. She promises to try to change the world to make people stop wishing for The Fall, but admits she can't be that person and doesn't care about anything but seeing the protagonist again. The party, feeling her sorrow, comforts her. With her resolution strengthened, she decides to respect Aigis' decision of leaving the past the way it was.
SEES later returns to when the protagonist sealed Nyx to learn the true cause of his death, and it is here they finally learn that he became the Great Seal to prevent the people's wish for The Fall from reaching Nyx. They encounter Erebus, the grand manifestation of humanity's grief and sorrow. Upon defeating it, Yukari apologized to Aigis, admitting that she's jealous because she didn't inherit the Wild Card ability and realized that Aigis obtained his ability not because she was chosen, but because she had felt the strongest to protect him. She, along with the other members of SEES make a promise that they will make the most out of their own lives in order to respect the protagonist's will and ease his burden. Yukari would later offer Aigis the chance to be her roommate, which Aigis gladly accepts.
Persona 4 Arena UltimaxEdit
Yukari is a playable character in the sequel to Persona 4 Arena. She is now a college student working as a model, but was scouted to be the actress playing the role of Pink Argus in Phoenix Ranger Featherman Victory due to her skill with a bow. While Yukari is shooting a scene for her role, Labrys suddenly arrives on the set via helicopter. The latter requests for the former's assistance before she returns to Inaba to assist Aigis, Mitsuru, Fuuka and Akihiko after they are captured. Fearing for her friends' safety, Yukari immediately joins Labrys and boards the helicopter, not even bothering to change out of her Pink Argus costume. Much to the two's shock, they witness Inaba shrouded by a red fog as they arrive in a helicopter. As soon General Teddie greets them with a missile (That turns out to be a practical joke), they realize that they could use their own Personas without the need of the Evoker. As they land at Inaba, they split up where Yukari looks for Junpei who she assumes he's at the station before his phone batteries dies.
Yukari, as an archer, plays much like other ranged characters like Yukiko and Naoto. Unlike those two, who can use delayed or trap based attacks, Yukari brute forces her way in through fast and wide ranged attacks, often making it hard to approach her. She is also very agile as her Furious Action has her slide through opponents knocking them in the air if she hits for a few quick shots. She has a flip command which is similar to Hawkeye's flip from Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, and much like with his flip, she can follow it up with an angled shot which can inflict Charm, Silence or both. She can also throw a bomb that can be used to keep her opponent on the ground which can be shot to cause an air unblockable explosion. Isis, her Persona, supports her through her Magaru spell which can be used in front of Yukari or closer to her opponent. Her Magarula super creates an expansive tornado wall, which can potentially be deployed to either give her either a defensive wall to keep her opponent from closing in, or to force the opponent to hold their attacks and play more defensively while it is on the field. Meanwhile, Yukari has the chance to damage her opponent with wind-based attacks; to make it even more difficult to block, she can throw and shoot her bomb for a unblockable aerial attack, even if they are trying to guard in midair.
Like any ranged character though, problems arise when the enemy manages to close the distance between them. Her choices are limited to either a risky wind attack which could end up in a Persona Break, or a slide attack which may not cover too much ground away from the attacker. The player's ranged attacks ideally should not miss, regardless of whether or not it is blocked by the opponent. Most of her ranged attacks have a long recovery time, thus allowing the opponent to exploit this by rushing in and attacking while Yukari is unable to counterattack; combined with her low HP count, these moments could prove fatal.
Her leitmotif is called "Pink Sniper", nodding to her title given by the announcer.
Persona Q: Shadow of the LabyrinthEdit
Yukari's co-op attack is a piercing attack, which pierces through an enemy in the front row into one of the enemies in the back.
Throughout much of the story, Yukari comes to notice that the Investigation Team is significantly closer than SEES is, and with the help of Rise Kujikawa, musters the courage to tell Mitsuru her feelings on this matter.

|Other Appearances
Yukari in Japanese can mean "affinity," which means a natural attraction to someone or something. This could symbolize how she is the first to open up to the protagonist, and feel a connection with him; it could also symbolize the fact that her Arcana of her Persona is the Lovers, which represents the social interaction and the establishment of relationships.
It can also mean "beautiful pear tree", likely due of her past home of Kyoto where Asian pear trees are common. During autumn, the leaves of the pear trees turn brown, thus she could be named for them because her hair is brown as well.
- Yukari appears as a palette swap for Chie Satonaka in Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4: Dancing All Night.
- In Persona 4 Golden, if Chie Satonaka has the Gekkou Uniform equipped, she will mimic Yukari's victory pose after battles as well as say Yukari's lines.
- Yukari as the Pink Argus' actress coincides with Lisa Silverman who played the same role when she was being around with her childhood playmates. Both characters share the same Lovers Arcana. Yukari and Isis also have palette swaps referencing Lisa and Venus.
- Yukari and Eriko Kirishima share an interest in fashion, coincidentally both became models shortly after graduating. Though it's a dream career for Eriko, Yukari took the job as a means to pay for college.
- Yukari's height and weight are both a mystery in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax unlike the rest of the human female characters whose weight are the only ones left a mystery. This is most likely a reference to her job as a model, as height and weight are often deliberately left out information.
- In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax two of Yukari's win poses are a taken from her victory pose in Persona 3 and her official artwork.
- One of the associated Astrology signs for the Lovers Arcana, Libra (the other being Gemini) is Yukari's star sign.
- The Lovers Arcana also associates itself with the element of wind, an element that has three strong connections to Yukari. Firstly she is the only one in S.E.E.S who naturally posses and inherits the Garu (Wind) skills. Wind is often considered as the "healing" element which ties into Yukari's role as the healer of the group having the ability to not only heal allies but to also remove mental afflictions, her persona also learns these skills quite early on. Lastly Yukari's weapon of choice the Bow and Arrow, depending on the speed and direction of the wind can heavily alter the accuracy and the chances of the arrow from actually hitting its mark.

Most of the
issues that made my recovery a long process were related to the tendon
and tissue damage, associated with the injury and subsequent surgery. I
was referred to Michelle and sat down with her to discuss what was
affecting me. For the first time in my recovery, I was speaking to
someone who was interested! She had such a positive outlook and used
that positive energy to develop a treatment plan through massage.
In November 2009, 7 months after my surgery, I crossed the finish line of the Philadelphia Marathon, finishing strong. Had it not been for the awesome care that I received from Michelle and listening to her plan, I would not have recovered so fast.
I have referred many friends to Michelle and I will continue to see her for all of my issues for as long as she'll have me.

The Puerto Rican Connection
|This page needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Grand Theft Wiki.
|The Puerto Rican Connection
Manny Escuela talking to Niko Bellic about his new video.
|Manny Escuela
|South Bohan, Bohan
|The Snow Storm and Call and Collect
|Unlocked by
|Blow Your Cover and Out of the Closet (only contacting Tom required)
The Puerto Rican Connection is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by Manny Escuela.
In the cutscene Manny is watching the video of him and says it doesn't make him look street. He then asks Niko to kill some of his old buddies who made fun of him and his new film. So Niko goes to the train station and waits for it. The target you are looking for is on the train, so you need to follow it and eliminate him when he gets off. The chase will lead to Cayuga Avenue in Schottler.
Make your way up to the platform and eliminate the three targets. It might be useful to take cover before launching your attack, but if you start with full health and a decent (quick) weapon such as the Micro-SMG then it shouldn't be necessary.
If you don't kill them when they get off the train, they get into a car and you have to hunt them down.
Warning: Niko must remain close to the train at all times as it winds its way through Broker. Attempting to "short cut" the mission by heading straight to the final destination after the train is initially spotted results in mission failure.
After the Mission
Upon completion of the mission, two events occur after a period of time:
- Niko receives an anonymous text message directing him to meet somebody in south Algonquin. This launches "Call and Collect".
- Niko receives a phone call from Elizabeta Torres asking Niko to get to her place right away to stop a fight she's having with Little Jacob. This launches "The Snow Storm". Despite the urgency of the call, there is no rush to actually trigger the mission.
- Note: If you wish to go on further dates with Michelle, you must do so before launching "The Snow Storm", as the ability to date her will not be available (for reasons that will soon become clear) afterwards.
- The mission is an obvious homage to the film The French Connection, in which Gene Hackman, playing a New York cop, chases a hitman on an elevated train in identical fashion.
- The train travels on the left hand side of the track instead of the regular right hand side, something that also happens in the mission Three Leaf Clover.
- On its way, the train passes Hove Beach station, but will not call there.

In use - handling
The E-P5 builds on an Olympus control and menu system that's been gradually evolving from the company's E-System Four Thirds DSLRs. And, as such, it continues all of what was wrong with the existing interfaces, as well as what was good. So, although the camera can be made very pleasant to operate, its default setup isn't ideal (from an enthusiast perspective) and it takes a fair amount of menu diving and camera wrangling to get the most out of the E-P5.
We still consider the Super Control Panel to be the best way of getting at the cameras' settings - especially when used in conjunction with the E-P5's touchscreen - so it's a shame that you have to delve into such an obscure corner of the menu to gain access to it. Once you have, you're left with most of the camera's key settings accessible simply by pressing the 'OK' button. With them all displayed on the screen, you can either use the four-way controller, the rear control dial, or simply touch the screen to select a setting, then use the front dial to change the setting - a really nice way of gaining access to the camera's settings.
Once this has been engaged, the E-P5 becomes very similar to the OM-D E-M5 to shoot with (which is pretty high praise). Strangely, it's rare for a mirrorless camera to offer a traditional DSLR-style twin dial interface and the E-P5 makes good use of it. It means you have direct control of shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation, depending on your preferred exposure mode.
The E-P5 also becomes the first Olympus to offer its 2x2 dial interface - a switch on the back of the camera that slightly changes the behavior of the camera's controls (depending on how you configure it).
2x2 dial interface
The 2x2 interface is an interesting idea but, as we've learned to expect from Olympus, it's rather more complicated than it could be. At its simplest, it provides a simple way to access ISO and White Balance using the control dials, simply by flicking a switch on the back of the camera. However, the other modes, that switch between user-chosen focus modes, and switching the action of the function button are quite different in character - making it a little difficult to decide which of these functions you want applied to it.
We're somewhat ambivalent about a system that, by default, changes the mode of the cameras' main control dials - if you inadvertently flick the switch to position 2 (which isn't too hard to do), then you can find yourself changing the white balance or ISO by accident. Another oddity is that while the E-M5 gained a button to offer sensibly direct access to the camera's adjustable tone curves, the PEN reverts to requiring a sequence of button presses usually reserved for revealing secret levels in videogames.
Our only other concern is how easy we found it to accidentally hit the mode dial, rather than turning the rear control dial. We suspect this is most likely to be a problem for E-M5 users, who are used to its rear dial being in this location, especially when using an EVF. Obviously this may not be a problem for everyone, but it happened often enough to interfere with the otherwise seamless shooting experience.
We also found ourselves accidentally popping the flash up on the E-P5 more than expected, as its rear release button is quite prominent. But we consider this little more than a minor irritation - we might have just been unlucky to catch it on clothing a couple of times.
Additional configuration
Beyond this, the E-P5 has a selection of customizable buttons, including a Fn button on the top plate, magnify button on the rear and the movie REC button. The right and downwards positions on the four-way controller (Flash and Drive Mode, by default) can also be reconfigured but your choices are more restrictive.
Shooting with the E-P5
All of these options mean that you really can set the camera up to behave how you want it to - you can not only define the dials' functions (per mode, including their behavior in playback mode and navigating through the menus), but you can also define the direction in which they operate. As usual with an Olympus, tailoring the camera to your way of shooting will require some time spent working through the custom menu options.
If you choose to engage the Super Control Panel and fine-tune the behavior of the rest of the camera's buttons, then you gain quick access to most of the camera's key settings. Oddly, though, no amount of configuration can gain you sensible access to the camera's tone curve adjustments (instead it requires a combination of presses of the Exposure Comp, Info and four-way control buttons).
So, although the E-P5 can be a real pleasure to shoot with (especially after a little re-configuration). However, while wading through the menus there's an occasional sense that it's a camera with an interface that's evolved in a piecemeal fashion and perhaps isn't the way it'd be designed if Olympus started with a blank sheet of paper.

Everything you've wanted to know about choosing a school but were afraid to ask.
Q: What is Montessori education?
A: "It is a term that parents have heard, but rarely understand," says Gordon Maas, head of school at Ruffing Montessori School. "It's a methodology and style of learning that promotes self-motivation and independence. The student has learned how to learn, and comes away that learning is a part of them. The environment provides the catalyst for the desire to learn to take place," says Maas. "Our goal is to produce citizens of the world - children who understand interdependence and are globally aware."
Q: How does Gilmour differ from the other schools in the area?
A: "We are unique in that as a Catholic school we can offer a faith-based approach where we can help young people develop their talents and imbed values in their life," says Todd Sweda, assistant headmaster at Gilmour Academy. "But at the same time, we're an independent school and we can personalize our classes and student-centered approach. It's the same faith-based program, but with personal student attention."
Q: What makes Hawken unique with so many other schools in the area?
A: "Hawken is co-ed. We have wonderful competition [in other schools], but they're all single-sex," says Kathie MacEwan, director of Hawken's Lower School. "The emphasis here is on educating the pedagogy, so we're constantly learning what is best for kids in theory and then matching that with application. There is a high level of energy and time spent on faculty development."
Q: How does the Andrews School, being a day and a boarding school, benefit students?
A: "The answer is simple: we our more than a school, we are a community," says Kristina Dooley, director of admission at The Andrews School. "Many of our faculty and staff live on or near our campus so students can receive academic and social support outside traditional class hours. Faculty are often seen at theater and music performances or sporting events. Our day and boarding students also have the opportunity to attend school with students from all over the world because of the boarding component of the school."
Q: What is the difference between an independent school and a public school?
A: "The difference is that we are able to select bright and motivated students who have strong family support," says Alexa Hansen, director of admission and external relations at Lake Ridge Academy. "We don't have study halls or bells - students are expected to attend classes at given times, and then during their free times they are encouraged to seek out faculty if help is needed, or work with other students on group projects, or to manage their time in a way that they best see fit."
Q. What type of student does Grand River Academy accept?
A. "A boy who needs structure, support, and small classes in order to succeed," answers Sam Corabi, director of admission at Grand River Academy. "You can describe our boys in one word when they come here, which is 'underachiever.' We have a very structured day and small classes. Students are given a lot of individual attention from our teachers. We take boys who have a history of under-average grades, but who are academically capable of succeeding."
Q: How is Old Trail School unique?
A: "For starters, we're the only private school in the U.S. that's located in a national park," says Judy Brookhart, director of admission at Old Trail School. "We have an unofficial tag line, which is: 'inspiring the promise in each child.' And it's the emphasis on each child. The school also stops after eighth grade, which means that the middle school-aged children are the leaders and role models. Instead of being sandwiched between elementary and high school years, we celebrate our middle school as being the end result."
Q: What is the diversity on campus at Western Reserve Academy?
A: "Of the 401 students attending, there are 273 boarding students and 128 day students. The school is around 55 percent boys and 45 percent girls. Twenty-five states and 21 countries are represented," answers Russ Morrison, director of marketing and public relations at Western Reserve Academy. Financial aid and college matriculation are also common concerns. "Last year, Western Reserve gave over $3.1 million in merit scholarships and financial aid, while 100 percent of students go on to college."
Q: What are the plans for The Ratner School's new building?
A: "We are moving to a new facility in Pepper Pike, opening in fall 2006" says Sheryl Miller, director of admissions for The Ratner School. "We are very excited. It doubles our space. The facility will contain a two-story art room, special rooms for music, Spanish, Hebrew Studies and after-school care, a library/media center, state-of-the-art science and computer labs, an auditorium for student performances, and 17 classrooms to serve toddlers through eighth-graders. It will be a building that will allow for the expansion of the special programs and innovative curriculum for which the school is known."
Q: How does Virtual Schoolhouse work?
A: "We are a hybrid charter school," says Nicki Salfer, the director of Learning Concepts at Virtual Schoolhouse. "The school takes advantage of some of the best features of a virtual school and applies them to classes taught in-person by teachers. We offer a center-based program where students come to the center for class and a home-based program where a teacher visits students at home. All students are provided with a computer and online access, and the classes taught at the center have a five-to-one student to teacher ratio."
Q: What are the benefits of attending an all-boys school?
A: "Boys and girls are often at different stages. Boys are often ahead of girls in science and math, but tail them developmentally in reading and writing by an average of 12 to 14 months," says Chris Barton, director of enrollment planning at University School. "University School creates an atmosphere of learning for boys that works with their strengths and weaknesses and is tailored to the style that they learn. They also emphasize hands-on learning throughout the educational process. Boys learn best by doing, not just sitting quietly in rows."
Q: Why should we send our daughter to an all-girls school?
A: "Laurel School knows girls - how they learn, think and feel," says Tom Wilschutz, assistant head of school and director of admission and financial aid at Laurel School. "For 110 years we have taught girls to claim their voices and develop as leaders. Girls thrive in our compassionate community. In this atmosphere, charged with intellectual vitality, bright girls embrace challenges in academics, athletics and arts. Attuned to learning styles, we honor each individual as she builds strengths and fulfills her promise. Our 140-acre campus offers exceptional opportunities for experiential education. Laurel School is a place where girls can dream, dare and do."
Q: Should every student entering college apply for financial aid?
A: "Yes, every student entering college should apply for financial aid. Any student completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid is eligible for some kind of federal aid," says Rhonda McKinnon, district director of student financial assistance at Cuyahoga Community College. "The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid programs are the largest source of student aid in America and provide more than $60 billion a year in grants, low-interest loans and work-study assistance. Additionally, many state grants and scholarship programs require students to complete the FAFSA to receive state funds. Since completing the FAFSA is free, you can't lose."
Q: What resources are available to help afford college?
A: "File the FAFSA form as soon after Jan. 1 as possible," says Diane Raybuck, director of admissions at The University of Akron. "You don't have to wait for your tax preparation, as you may estimate, as closely as possible, your previous year's income. Because each college has different deadlines and procedures, check with the financial aid office at the institution of choice and it will help guide you through the process. Don't be afraid to make a call or send an e-mail. These professionals are there to assist you. Financial aid nights at your local high school, generally offered December through February, are also a good opportunity to gather information and ask questions."
Q: What is there to do on campus at Cleveland State?
A: "We have over 125 student organizations to join and participate in. These run the range from student government, to Greek life, to academic organizations, arts, dance, community service, etc.," says Jill Oakley-Jeppe, associate dean for freshman recruitment at Cleveland State University. "We are also part of NCAA Division I with 17 men's and women's sports, so you can join a team or you can root on the Vikings. Also we have club and intramural sports to get involved in. Finally, the benefit of our location in downtown Cleveland is all there is to do in the city. Students can go see shows, shopping, food, concerts and sporting events. We really consider the city an extension of our campus."
Q: Does Youngstown State University provide on-campus student housing? A: "Yes. The University operates five spacious residence halls on campus, including a residence for University Scholars and Honors students," says Walt Ulbricht, executive director of office of marketing and communications at Youngstown State. "Within a half block of campus are the University Courtyard Apartments, which house 400 YSU students in a number of apartment configurations, including private baths."
Q: Do I pay the tuition rate for Lorain County Community College or for the partner school delivering the degree?
A: "The answer is surprisingly simple," says Ralph Bishop, director of university partnership at Lorain County Community College. "When students take courses at Lorain they pay Lorain's tuition rate, and when they take university classes they pay the university's tuition rate. We currently have 11 'three plus one' programs - three years with Lorain County Community College and one year of credit work with one of the nine affiliated universities, and they still get the university's baccalaureate degree. That's three years at our [tuition] rate at one year at the university's rate."
Q: What is there to do for students who live on campus at Kent State University?
A: "Our recently renovated Eastway complex features a bowling alley and on-campus dining in a casual atmosphere with couches and chairs, a 60-inch television and fireplace," says Nancy DellaVecchia, director of admission at Kent State University. "Kent State's state-of-the art 153,000 square-foot Student Recreation and Wellness Center offers a wide array of opportunities under one roof including a cardiovascular fitness area, weight room, swimming pools, sports arena, racquetball and handball courts and a climbing wall. Students can join more than 200 different student organizations and choose from over 1,000 special events on campus including concerts, movies and presentations by nationally known speakers."
Q: Is it affordable to attend a private college?
A: "Ninety-seven percent of our students receive financial aid, and usually the majority of that financial aid comes from Notre Dame," says David A. Armstrong, Esq., dean of admissions at Notre Dame College. "We offer academic grants, athletic scholarships, and need-based grants. We also give up to 50 percent tuition discounts for students who have a relative who is a Sister of Notre Dame. Children of alumni and siblings of current students can also receive up to 50 percent off tuition. If you want to come to Notre Dame College and Notre Dame College wants you, then it's our job to make it affordable to you. What I tell families is that you're not going to get anything if you don't fill out your FAFSA form. If you're an Ohio resident you get a minimum, this year it was $900, for choosing a private school in Ohio."
Q. Should I live with my best friend or should I be randomly matched with a roommate?
A. "It depends. It makes some people nervous to go into a matching process. People like to know something about another person before they live with them," says Heather Losneck, director of residence life at John Carroll University. "If you are going to live with your best friend, go into living together with no expectations. Ask him or her basic questions that you would ask someone you didn't know. Remember, people can change, especially in a situation like college. Go into it with your eyes open so that you can remain friends. As for random room assignments, we do all our matching by hand and try to match most things, but not all, so that there are commonalties but also room for growth and development."
Q. Where is the restroom?
A. "When students and their parents make their first visit to campus, their initial question is almost always the same one," admits James Barrett, executi ve director of admission at Hiram College. "It isn't about a potential major or financial aid or our various dorms. It is always: 'Where's the restroom?' After a long, anticipatory ride to the college where they could spend the next four years, first things must be taken care of first. We love to tell potential students and their parents about Hiram College - but only after we take care of that inevitable first question."

College Hockey:Massachusetts freshman Vatrano to be eligible for 2014 Hockey East tournament
Massachusetts redshirt freshman forward Frank Vatrano, who enrolled at UMass in January 2013, will become eligible for competition beginning with the 2014 Hockey East tournament.
This announcement comes as a result of an admissions documentation discrepancy at his previous academic institution, Boston College.
Vatrano will continue to practice with the Minutemen throughout the 2013-14 regular season and is also eligible to compete in UMass' Jan. 12 exhibition against the U.S. Under-18 Team.
"Adding Frank Vatrano to the UMass family has been unbelievably beneficial up to this point," said UMass coach John Micheletto in a news release. "Frank has positively impacted our team and culture with his work ethic and determination since joining us last January. We are looking forward to the day he pulls a UMass game jersey over his head for the first time – it will be a great day for Frank as well as for the program."
The NCAA decided that Vatrano will sit 50 percent of UMass' 2013-14 games in addition to his "year in residence" that every transfer must serve. Since he enrolled in January, his second half of his year in residence is the Fall 2013 semester.
He will be a redshirt sophomore in 2014-15 with three full seasons left to play, so he won't be using a redshirt by playing in the 2014 postseason.
"I am very excited to be here at Massachusetts and to be a part of the hockey program," added Vatrano. "Growing up just down the road from here makes this experience even more special. I am looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to this year's team in any way possible."

L.P. Frans Stadium (map it)
2500 Clement Blvd NW
Hickory, NC 28601
Year Opened: 1993
Capacity: 5,092
There are no tickets available at this time.
The story of South Atlantic League baseball in North Carolina cannot be told without discussing relocation. The Kannapolis Intimidators moved across the line from Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1995, becoming the Piedmont Phillies and Piedmont Boll Weevils before adopting their current moniker in 2000. Though the team left Spartanburg's historic Duncan Park, then-new Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium (now known as CMC-NorthEast Stadium) became the team's Tar Heel State home.
Two years before Kannapolis welcomed their new club, another freshly-minted team debuted an hour and a half northwest in Hickory. The team made the move 40 miles north along US Highway 321 from Gastonia, leaving a (now-revived) affiliation with the Rangers behind, and ending the run of affiliated baseball in that city. While the summer wood-bat Gastonia Grizzlies now call Sims Legion Park home, the Crawdads play in L.P. Frans Stadium, which was constructed for the team's move in 1993. The experience in Hickory is certainly different than the other South Atlantic League markets in North Carolina, a trip to a Crawdads game is certainly worth making for baseball purists.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The food selections in Hickory are very similar to what one might expect in most ballparks. Chick-fil-A sandwiches are a popular choice in the Carolinas, and they can be purchased at Crawdads games for $6. Hamburgers or cheeseburgers ($5), hot dogs ($3) and french fries ($2) help to compose the "hot" menu items. If you're more in the mood for a ballpark snack, peanuts ($3), popcorn ($2), "fix-it-yourself" nachos ($4) and Cracker Jacks ($2) serve as your choices.
Pepsi serves as the bottler for the ballpark. This stands to reason, as a gigantic Pepsi building rests just beyond the outfield wall. 20-ounce bottled sodas and water are available for $3, with 22-ounce cups at the same price. A "large" 32-ounce soda costs $4.
If a restaurant is more your speed, the Crawdad Cafe can be found down the first base line. This is a great place to grab a beer and pub-type fare while watching the game from the patio. The night of my visit saw friends enjoying conversation and baseball over a beverage, and there's no better way to take in a game in the Carolinas - unless you're at the beach, of course.
One word of caution, though - the first base concession stand is closed for weekday games. This leaves the third base stand as the only available option. Lines can get a bit long at times with only one stand open, so be sure to accordingly plan your trip to get something to eat or drink.
The entry through the gates into L.P. Frans Stadium provides a view of a lot of brick. This is a great thing, because all of the brick around you really lends a "homey" southern feel to the park. It is also a bit of a bad thing, because the "money shot" of the expanse of the park opening before you is not available as you enter the park. The day's lineups are straight ahead of you on one of the aforementioned brick walls, which is one of the traditional touches found in many minor league parks in the Carolinas.
There are two concourses in the ballpark. The upper concourse is the one on which all fans enter, and concessions, restrooms and other services can be found on this concourse. The view of the field is reasonably limited on this concourse until you move down each baseline. The lower concourse separates the bleacher seating from the fixed seats, and this walkway traverses the length of the seating bowl. While this allows fans the opportunity to walk around and still see the action on the field, it also creates a separation between the two levels of seating. If your seat is in the bleachers, it will feel a bit further from the field than expected.
The Crawdads occupy the third base dugout in L.P. Frans Stadium, so if your visit is to cheer for the home nine, be sure to select a seat in sections K through P or grandstand sections 5 through 9. Sitting on the third base side may also assist with keeping the sun out of your eyes for the first few innings of each game. The bleacher seats behind the plate are marked as reserved seating, with the added premium of seeing all of the action in front of you. Because the ballpark is mostly open, there are no real bad seats in the house. Be aware, however, that the bleachers may have the occasional obstruction as fans navigate the lower concourse.
Two mascots can also be found wandering the stands throughout each game. Conrad and Candy are the friendly crawdads who interact with fans, participate in promotions and make the experience fun for kids of all ages.
A scoreboard rests behind the right-center field wall that displays the game's line score, ball/strike/out count and other expected game information. There is also a graphic display board that shows statistical information about the current batter, as well as silly pictures of opposing batters (on the night I visited, a player named Mark was represented by photos of Mark Wahlberg and Mark Zuckerberg, among others). Advertising information is also occasionally displayed on the board.
Hickory is a town of just over 40,000 residents. As such, the usual large-city trappings are tough to come by, but this does not mean that there is absolutely nothing to offer in town. Olde Hickory Tap Room is located just minutes from the park in downtown Hickory's Union Square. This is a great spot for a bite after the game (the restaurant is open until 2am every night), and a full menu of salads, appetizers, sandwiches and desserts is available to satisfy your late-night cravings. A vast selection of local beers is also offered (check the link under the Food & Drink tab for current choices).
Chain restaurants are also prevalent around Hickory, with Mellow Mushroom and Hooters (among many) just one exit east on Interstate 40. Local micro-chain Ham's is just a few minutes south on US Highway 321, near the intersection with 2nd Avenue NW. Ham's features typical American fare, along with steaks, chicken dishes, gigantic desserts and famous homemade potato chips.
Lenoir-Rhyne University is approximately four miles from the stadium. This is a great place to take a walk and observe some history. Lenoir-Rhyne was founded in 1891, and the campus offers a scenic and relaxing environment.
Though deafening crowds may not be the norm at a Crawdads game, there is a devoted group of fans in Hickory. Weeknight fans draw considerably smaller crowds, as might be expected. The weekday game I attended drew just 1,111 announced fans.
Those who do pass through the turnstiles seem to have quite a bit of fun rooting on their home team. They do not sit on their hands and wait for scoreboard cues to cheer. If you visit a Crawdads game, expect to be among friendly people who know the game and love their team.
L.P. Frans Stadium is located just off US Highway 321 and Clement Boulevard Northwest. Though Hickory Regional Airport is just across the street from the park, the most viable commercial flight options are Asheville (AVL, 80 miles west), Charlotte (CLT, 60 miles southeast) or Greensboro (GSO, 90 miles east). US 321 is the major north-south route through Hickory, with US Highway 70 and North Carolina Interstate 40 within a few minutes of the ballpark.
Parking is plentiful and is located within a very short distance of the ballpark. The only downfall with said parking is the $3 charge when entering the lot. There are two exits from the lot, and US 321 has a traffic light. This makes ingress and egress relatively easy, with only slight delays as traffic empties from the lot onto Clement Boulevard.
Once inside the park, both concourses are big and easy to navigate. Restrooms are located along the upper concourse, and are clean and well-kept.
The Crawdads are an affiliate of the Texas Rangers, and the good young group of talent flowing through the Ranger organization makes for a solid experience on the field. Box seat (lower level) tickets are $9, with reserved (bleachers behind home plate) for $8 and grandstand (bleachers down each line) priced at $7. These prices are close to just about every other team in the circuit.
Concessions are quite expensive, however, taking a bit of a bite out of the wallet. A hot dog and a small soda will only cost $6, but if you decide to upgrade to a Chick-fil-A sandwich and french fries instead, your meal price soars over $10 for one person. Combine this with the $3 parking fee, and your total bill runs to $21 per person for the cheapest seats. The hot dog and soda may be the better option, unless you choose to take advantage of one of the many deals the team offers. Among those deals, the club offers Belly Buster Mondays for $10 (though several items are excluded from the deal).
If you are traveling to a game with a group of friends, renting a suite may be the way to go. Suite rentals are $200 ($250 on weekends), and they come with 15 tickets and food service. Television and air conditioning are also available in the suites, which can be a tremendous perk on hot North Carolina summer nights.
Having an area for the little ones is extremely important at a baseball game, and Hickory has you covered. There is a spacious setup for kids down the third base line, with climbing areas, a slide and much more. There is also a carousel just past the play pit, with rides available for just $1. The carousel also has a view of the field, allowing you to watch the game while the kids enjoy themselves.
Though the stadium is easy to navigate and the team employs a friendly staff, a customer care booth is available just inside the gates to the stadium. Team information is available at the booth, and a staff member is available to answer any concerns you may have while at the game. This is a simple touch that can be quite helpful to first-time visitors.
The Crawdads do a great job of honoring their history through a series of signs on the brick wall just past the entry gates. A sign honoring former Crawdads who have advanced to Major League Baseball is prominently displayed, linking fans to the 20-plus year history of the club. A listing of South Atlantic League Hall of Fame inductees and a plaque honoring former league president John Henry Moss can also be found nearby.
A team store is located just to your left as you enter the gates. The space is small, but the selection is quite good and the prices are fair. Logo wear, collectibles, used game baseballs and broken bats are just a few of the things you can purchase in the Crawdad store.
There are certainly bigger parks in North Carolina and in the South Atlantic League. Some parks have more historic value. Some are in the larger metropolitan areas of the state. While all of these parks have their merit, Hickory epitomizes the small-town Minor League Baseball experience. If you want to watch baseball as it once was, having conversations with friends and hearing the crack of the bat and the action on the field, L.P. Frans Stadium should be on your must-see list of parks in the league and the state.
LP Frans Stadium
Your last comments reeled me in/The idea of the 'small town experience',having conversation with friends,and enjoying the action on the field,and the crack of the bat'.In essence,isn't that what baseball is.Your comments triggered the statements made by Ernie Harwell in 'That's Baseball'.Thanks for the trip down memory lane in my mind.

L.P. Frans Stadium has been the home to the Hickory Crawdads for 20 years, since the team was purchased and the former Gastonia, NC Rangers were relocated. In '93 they were a White Sox affiliate, and a young Magglio Ordonez was the Crawdads first star player. L.P. Frans was a local Pepsi bottler who helped fund the construction of the stadium on donated land in Winkler Park.
The Crawdads are now a Rangers affiliate (again, so to speak), but they are spending a significant portion of their marketing on the 20th anniversary. I attended a game here back in 1993 as well, and I can tell you the park has really held up well.
Hickory is a small Southern town, with its roots firmly in the furniture business, as the Hickory Furniture Mart is celebrating its 50th anniversary expo and public sale in July of 2012. When you come to a game in Hickory, you'll get a very typical South Atlantic League experience – family friendly entertainment without a ton of frills and extras.
The park has undergone renovations recently and there are definite improvements, but the entire seating bowl is still protected by netting. The big plus is the Crawdad Cafe that has TVs on the back wall, like a mini sports-bar. $5 drafts are a deal and you can grab one before the game and then take a second to your seat to enjoy during the action. Yet again though, I wonder where the fans are.

The Front Porch Project as originally proposed is gone. A new, more involved project has grown out of the effort, however. City Manager Rick Klein presented the new proposal, a two-year project, at Thursday's meeting of the Urban Renewal Board. The new idea, coming out of meetings with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Amtrak and the Colorado Department of Transportation, involves the introduction of a bus travel component, as originally requested by CDOT.
Roughly, the old telegraph building on the west side of the depot would become a new station with cleanly divided areas for train and bus transportation. The old station would be used by the railroad for a crew building and also electronic equipment, some of which is now in the telegraph building. The gravel lot on the west side of the telegraph building would be developed as a paved lot. A covered awning such as the proposed awning in the old project would be constructed on the platform to the west of the new depot, former communications building. A wall would be constructed the length of the platform and also between the two buildings.
CDOT requested La Junta's entry into the new round of grants. News of whether the grant money will be reserved for La Junta's request will be forthcoming in December. A barrier between bus and train activity was requested by the railroad.
Further discussion concerning the feasibility study for the Plaza Building revealed the need for an official committee to discuss the various proposals for its use, if restored. An end use study is required for completion of the feasibility study now under way by architect Tim Stroh. The committee will meet each Tuesday at 11 a.m. If you are interested in serving on a committee to call on people who may be interested and discuss this project, please contact City Manager Rick Klein (384-5991) or Urban Renewal Authority Board Chair Lynn Horner (468-6695).
The committee appointed on Thursday included Chairman Horner, city staff Klein and Bill Jackson, Rebecca Goodwin and Mack Burtis. Donna Rohde and Velma Simpson have expressed interest in the project and will be asked to participate.
Goodwin pointed out that such a procedure will be helpful in determining the fate of other buildings in the city as well as the Plaza Building. Information may be unearthed in the study for the Plaza Building that will help in saving another building. They are hoping for business input from new and older businesses.
The Chestnut Apartments, although no longer owned by the city, were purchased by a partnership which is meeting with Klein, Jackson and Horner about possibilities for the property.
The sidewalk, curb and gutter project has been completed, all paperwork done, and is being used by the Department of Local Affairs as an example of a good project. A drive along Third Street will demonstrate how much the curbs and gutters have improved the eastern approach to the city.
Page 2 of 2 - The Elks wall where it was once attached to the Kit Carson is finished now, with stabilization and stucco sections in place. The Elks Club is happy. Mayor Don Rizzuto, making an appearance although he is on vacation, suggested putting in an extra streetlight as the best deterrent to graffiti and crime. The sidewalk will also be reconstructed.
Klein asked to be given a bit more time for the sidewalk stamps, as many projects are going right now with the city crews, such as the alley clean-up (if you put your trash out front, that's where you put your clean-up trash). The current quarter for clean-up is tenth to 22nd, Colorado east. Also, the Christmas decorations are up early because of the Capitol Christmas Tree celebration on Monday afternoon.

Raynie Theis is in her second season as University of Massachusetts women's tennis assistant coach after graduating from West Virginia University in 2007 with a degree in Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration and Communications. In addition to her coaching obligations, Theis is also enrolled in the Master's Sport Management Program at UMass.
In her first season as assistant coach, she helped head coach Judy Dixon lead the Minutewomen to the top overall seed in the A-10 Championships and their sixth-consecutive top-four finish.
While at West Virginia as an undergrad, Theis spent four seasons on the women's tennis team, playing No. 1 doubles and Nos. 2-6 singles.

That same summer, Theis was a Fan Relations Intern with the Minnesota Timberwolves/Lynx, facilitating season ticket holder retention and responding to fan requests. As a senior, Theis interned in West Virginia's compliance office. She reorganized and filed student athlete information, monitored coach's recruiting phone logs, attended meetings and assisted coaches regarding new NCAA rules.
Her accomplishments, on the court and in the classroom, are endless. She was a Dean's List honor student, finishing with a 3.9 cumulative GPA, 4.0 in her major. From 2002-2006, she was an ITA Academic All-American and a member of the West Virginia ITA All-Academic Team. Theis was also a Big East Academic All-Star.
