App deadlines are in Dec. generally. You will need RECs (3 or so) good form dictates that you give your writers at least a month to write them...then YOU need to write SOPs and Personal Statements for each one (making changes to make each specific to the school) organising transcripts and GRE scores to be sent to each school. Given all of the to-dos and not wanting to scare you I would think that Labour Day would be a great date to aim for. This would leave you with August to look at Depts, make contact with POIs etc (if necessary) and finalise your list. It would be ideal if you knew them before GRE so you could identify schools to send scores to as part of the ETS service. Personally, I was filling apps out the day they opened...

For any number of reasons, both professional and academic, I've spent way too much time thinking and reading about just this. There's a huge current debate about it and personally; because I believe that scholarship has a place in the public discussion and thought I intend to do it. I see the benefits as two fold - writing practice for those days when my writing schedule allows and more significantly, a forum for feedback for my scholarship. As a practiced blogger, I would suggest that you focus your blog on your area of interest, remember to engage with your audience and work diligently on building traffic through links, keywords and the like and see it as a place to develop ideas, engage in conversation and to learn. In that sense, I wouldn't list individual posts on my CV, but I would list my website address www.mythoughtsandideas.com. I think if you're going to engage do it professionally - pay for hosting and a domain OR start on your school's site. Hope this makes some sort of sense Here's a link to get in on the debate: http://chronicle.com/article/The-Lack-of-Public/145489/

Me too. And with France playing Nigeria next...it's all good for Les Bleus till the 1/4 final. Oh, and well done USA, Costa Rica and Mexico - CONCACAF is doing remarkably well

I'm liking Belgium to get out of the group, along with Russia...Belgium are a talented and young team

I agree, but France is my sentimental favourite...I've been a fan since childhood. PLUS Given their recent cycle of peaks and troughs, this year is a peak so....fingers crossed - VIVE LE FRANCE!

It would take Spain winning both a draw with Chile bids them bye bye and for Portugal a draw with USA puts US through...

I could not agree less...France all the way

Had mine today. It consisted of exactly one question: "What's your research about?" Time to go.

URGENT HELP - PLAGIARISM
beyondaboundary replied to Bugaboo's topic in Coursework, Advising, and Exams
http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills/plagiarism# Try this one on for size. The point is that academic rigor (which I have to assume we all respect) must start with self. Sloppy citation takes away from the quality of your argument and thus brings everything else about your work into question. If there is no citation or a wrong citation but your reader is foliar with the corpus of literature in your field that's where the accusation of plagiarism lies. Its a hard lesson to learn but better now than down the road. The secondary argument is that we seem to be focusing on the motive of the act (laziness or sloppiness) but not the act itself (providing fiticious citations) -
