  What is a Persona Non Grata?
Persona non grata is a Latin phrase which refers to a person who is not welcome.
The term persona non grata is used in a formal sense to describe the unwelcome presence of a diplomat, as for example when two countries are going to war with each other.
In the formal diplomatic sense, the status of persona non grata may be applied to a diplomat, or a member of the diplomatic staff who break the rules of the country in which he or she is visiting.

 CSU - Policy Regarding Persona Non Grata Status for Campus Visitors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
For the purposes of this policy, “persona non grata” means that a visitor have exhibited behavior which has been deemed detrimental to the University community and thus the visitor is no longer permitted to be present in any University locations.
To place the accused on persona non grata status there must be a finding by the Hearing Officer based on a preponderance of the evidence that the alleged behavior occurred and that such behavior is detrimental to the University community.
During the time that the persona non grata status is in effect, permission may be granted by the Hearing Officer for entrance of the visitor on such status to specified University location for a specified purpose and period of time.

 TIME: Persona Non Grata
Persona was an instant hit for its Bedford-based maker, Unipath, which sold 100,000 in the first year.
A pharmacist told her Persona was "as safe as the contraceptive pill." But in the third month of using Persona Allison became pregnant with a fifth child.
Persona is not itself a barrier to conception, but merely a software program that displays information about a woman's fertility.

 Persona non grata | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
When Persona, the first technological piece of contraception, burst on to the market in October 1996, it seemed a godsend to Mandy Mayes, a mother of five-year-old twins.
A neat, hand-held computerised monitor, it acts on the same principles as the rhythm method by predicting when a woman is in the fertile or infertile part of her cycle.
Used correctly, Persona purports to be 94% reliable with just six women a year, or one in 17, becoming pregnant due to the machine incorrectly identifying their fertile days.

 adaptive path » persona non grata
Using demographics to demarcate personas doesn’t scale well; for products with millions of users, you could end up with hundreds of personas, and such a large set is essentially useless.
The differences between personas must be based on these deeper issues — what people do (actions or projected actions), and why they do them (goals and motivations) — and not as much on who people are.
A persona that represents a majority of a product’s users may not be the user that the organization values the most; other personas might make the organization more money, be more involved, use more features, and so on.

 Answer this...: Vic du Monte's Persona Non Grata
Upon returning from this very successful tour, Vic commenced work on the follow up album "Persona Non Grata" again with James Childs (bass and keys) producing and enlisting the recent tour's line up of Alfredo Hernandez (Kyuss/Queens of the Stoneage) on drums and Sargon Dooman on lead guitar.
Vic du Monte's Persona Non Grata tows the burden of over indulgence and love gone wrong, expounding further the same gritty themes which color the band's first album.
Persona Non Grata provides the perfect landscape for this raw, hard driving album by taking your hand and dragging you through unraveling madness.

I know that other folks think personas are valuable, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
The biggest take-away was that the people creating the personas should be the same people that interviewed/observed the users in the first place.
From that, I concluded that Personas are a tool to share the user research with the development team and other stakeholders, but don’t and can’t replace the designers’ deeper knowledge gained from doing the research in the first place.

 european-films.net - review: Persona non grata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Persona non grata, the new film from renowned Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi (Rok spokojnego slonca/The Year of the Quiet Sun) wants to be a psychological drama set in the world of international diplomacy.
The persona non grata of the title might in the end refer to Wiktor himself.
The actors are obviously victims of the film’s screenplay, which was written by the director, because their characters are only called upon to do actions rather than display emotions.

Done well, this is exactly what personas do.
The problem is, most teams build personas from the wrong kind of user information, or worse, base them on assumptions.

At the same time, many spies are not declared personae non gratae for foreign policy reasons--a hint to a major press outlet can be just as effective in getting rid of a spy.

 Persona non grata (2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Director Krzyzstof Zanussi has made 75 distinguished films and is possibly the third best filmmaker from Poland--next only to Wajda and Kieslowski(the latter peaked towards the end of his career).
I consider "Persona non grata" to be Zanussi's second best effort--the first being his German TV film "Wege in der Nacht" ("Ways in the night" or "Nightwatch") made in 1979.
The film is an ode to friendships--friends who remain loyal, friends who are not recognized as friends at best of times but are recognized as friends when tragedy strikes, and friends who dislike being insulted even by mistake.

Twenty-one years after winning a Golden Lion for "The Year of the Quiet Sun," Polish helmer Krzysztof Zanussi is back in competition at Venice with one of his most convincing psychological dramas.
"Persona Non Grata" may not be cutting-edge cinema, but such a well-crafted example of classic, old-school filmmaking has its own appeal.
Very much an actor's movie, "Persona" pivots on Zapasiewicz's perf as Victor, the crusty but admirable old ambassador who still clings to his principles in a world gone totally corrupt.

 Sun.Star Cebu - Clavel ‘persona non grata’ now
Angered by the attack on the credibility of last year’s elections here, Cebuano leaders yesterday signed a manifesto declaring Rep. Clavel Martinez as persona non grata to Cebuanos.
But Congresswoman Martinez, in a telephone interview, asked why Cebuanos should feel insulted with what she did, when she was only defending the rights of Cebuanos.
It is not she that should be declared persona non grata, she said, but the one who “instigated” the mayors to sign the manifesto against her.

 ISAM Newsletter: Persona non grata: Frank Zappa's Orchestral Subculture
This score, premiered in Berkeley in 1984, develops a long transitional passage from the 1977 song “Wild Love” and also includes a painstakingly transcribed and orchestrated version of a guitar improvisation (“Persona non grata”) that Zappa played before a New York concert in 1978.
It is irrelevant in Sinister Footwear to speak of a central or “original” text, for the piece does not relate to its constituent, earlier material the way a pop song relates to its cover or a Ravel orchestration corresponds to the composer’s piano original.
When he orchestrated “Persona non grata,” Zappa fetishized the guitar-based events in his material (bends, slides, string-crossings) but the listener does not make these connections because Zappa did not try to recreate a guitar sound.
