Hot with Storms Possible Today
Cooler Weather Arrives Beginning Friday
It will be hot again today with highs in the mid and upper 90s. It could reach 100 degrees in a few places. The hot weather will lead to scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening, mainly along and east of Highway 83, where it will be more humid. Some of the storms could be severe with the primary threat being very large hail and damaging winds. A cold front will then cross the region tonight and in its wake cooler weather will arrive for the weekend. Highs on Friday will be in the mid to upper 80s across western and north central Nebraska, but Saturday and Sunday will see highs only in the lower 80s, which will actually be a few degrees below normal for the middle of August.
With the threat of severe weather, be sure to listen to radio, television, and NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio for possible watches, warnings, and statements. Click here to reach the severe weather web page for western and north central Nebraska, which will also display the latest watches and warnings.

Georgia Regents Medical Center is home to the latest imaging technology - the Gemini Open PET/CT. The hybrid technology is the first medical imaging tool that simultaneously and clearly shows the anatomic data from a CT scan and the metabolic data from a PET scan. The result is a comprehensive snapshot that identifies disease processes and localizes them at the same time.
The PET/CT Advantage PET/CT is more than just equipment. The state-of-the-art technology has the potential to revolutionize patient care and significantly reduce health care costs. The two-in-one scanner has many advantages to other imaging technologies. PET/CT offers:
PET/CT's Clinical Applications PET/CT's most common application is in oncology since it provides vital diagnostic information that can alter the course of treatment and sometimes help avoid surgery. The technology will be particularly useful in detecting and treating the following cancers:
PET/CT also has applications in neurology and cardiology. PET/CT provides the highest accuracy level of any non-invasive procedure in diagnosing coronary artery disease, the measurement of myocardial blood flow reserve and the extent of cardiac muscle damage. In neurology, PET/CT is used to identify the areas of the brain causing epileptic seizures and to determine whether surgery is an option. It is also useful in the diagnosis of complex dementia disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

Actual exchanges between Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers
Tower: 'Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!'
Delta 351: 'Give us another hint! We have digital watches!'
************************************************** ************************************************
Tower: 'TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees.'
TWA 2341: 'Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?'
Tower: 'Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?'
************************************************** **************************************************
From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: 'I'm f...ing bored!'
Ground Traffic Control: 'Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!'
Unknown aircraft: 'I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!'
************************************************** ************************************************
O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: 'United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound.'
United 329: 'Approach, I've always wanted to say this..I've got the little Fokker in sight.'
************************************************** **************************************************
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar,
ATC asked, 'What was your last known position?'
Student: 'When I was number one in line for takeoff.'
************************************************** *************************************************
A DC-10 had come in a little fast and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down, nearly reaching the end of the runway.
San Jose Tower Noted: 'American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able to.
If you are not able to,suggest you take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport when the traffic clears.
************************************************** **************************************************
A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich , overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): ' Ground, what is our start clearance time?'
Ground (in English): 'If you want an answer you must speak in English.'
Lufthansa (in English): 'I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?'
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): 'Because you lost the bloody war!'
************************************************** **************************************************
Tower: 'Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7'
Eastern 702: 'Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway.'
Tower: 'Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7.
Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?'
BR Continental 635: 'Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern.702.In fact we've already notified our "caterers.'
************************************************** **************************************************
One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a
DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some
quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, 'What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?'
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: 'I made it out of old DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one.'
************************************************** **************************************************
The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only
expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.
So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between
Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: ' Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! clear of active runway.'
Ground: 'Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.'
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: 'Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?'
Speedbird 206: 'Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now.'!
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): 'Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?'
Speedbird 206 (coolly): 'Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land.'
************************************************** ***********************************************
While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale
made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller
lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming:
'US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right
on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!'
Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically:
'God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and
don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I
want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?'
'Yes, ma'am,' the humbled crew responded.
Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of
US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind.
Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking:
'Wasn't I married to you once?'

Brilliant. Brings back memories of working as a Cook in the Merchant Navy. Going through the Kiel Canal a message came over the radio advising a Captain that his 9 p.m. telephone call home had been connected. A very angry voice (in broken English) refused to take the call because it was 2 minutes early.
The reaction from our German Pilot is un-printable except to say that if he'd have been in his own country he'd still be waiting for another 2 hours.

I think I'm glad that I no longer fly, and if I had read these THEN, perhaps I never would.
Actually I loved flying - could almost take off without the 'plane if I wasn't held down.

Has anybody ever heard "What Goes Up Must Come Down" by David Gunston I think it was? I believe he was a pilot at one point - the tape was made when he was an after dinner speaker at a function. It is one of the funniest things I have heard - from the pilots having gloves with L and R on them to the tales of the day the French controllers went on strike! Definitely worth a listen if you can get hold of a copy!!

Dave Gunston was an Air Trafic Controller at Birmingham Airport (I think). What Goes up must come down was an after dinner speech he made and is definitely well worth listening to. I can assure you, though, that in Air Traffic Control, on a daily basis, those funnies are very few and far between unfortunately.

Thank you - yes he was a Contoller - I haven't listened to it for a while (it's on the old fashioned tape!!) and I must admit I am pleased to hear the funnies are few and far between - the thought of so many planes disappearing down into a tiny dot because of the cleaner is scary!!!

Brilliant! Love them.
Then there's the old chestnut:
Controller: What is your height and position?
Pilot: I'm 6'2" and I'm sitting up the front.

Paul Bunyon Hotdog Statue
Standing 19 feet tall and clutching a giant hot dog, this Paul Bunyon statue, not "bunyan" purposely spelled with an "o", is one of Route 66's mythic Muffler Man Statues. A few of these giants still proudly grace the roadsides of historic Route 66. This one is located in Atlanta, Illinois, just across the street from the Palms Grill Café, which features fine fare from The Mother Road's golden age.
CITY: Atlanta
Atlanta Heritage Waysides
Located at the Atlanta Museum, these three exhibits and 20 other prints depict a variety of Lincoln and Logan County events. It is located at the site of an early political rally during Abraham Lincoln's campaign for President.
Atlanta Public Library
Built in 1908, this National Register Property is one of Illinois' few octagonal-shaped public libraries. Its gilded rotunda and interior rooms, filled with solid-oak woodwork, reflect its classic architecture. Local volunteers who comprise the "Keepers of the Clock" take turns on a weekly basis hand-winding the 1909 Seth Thomas clock housed in the library's clock tower.

Hugh and his men are faced with fighting creatures only thought to live in legend but which have been brought to Earth by evil bent on annihilating all the realms. That is Hugh's life - and he loves it. At least he did until he found himself staring into the angelic, innocent face of Lady Mina of Stone Crest.
In all the time he has led the Shields Hugh has trusted his instinct to keep his men alive, yet now he doesn't know what to believe. Everything points to Mina as the evil summoning the creatures, but she proclaims her innocence. He should be able to see through her lies, if she is indeed lying, but his attraction to her blinds him to even that. The last time he found myself so drawn to a woman, it nearly cost him the lives of his men. Hugh cannot allow that to happen again. He won't allow that to happen again. Yet every time she looks at him, begging him with those blue-green eyes to believe her, he finds himself sinking further under her spell. Her mouth is a temptation mortal men will never know, and her love will either bring him the peace he thought he'd never find - or the death he's managed, thus far, to avoid.

I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
Six handsome hunky time travelling Warriors working for the Fae battling evil and saving realms then moving on to the next evil threat. This was a delicious start to DG's new paranormal series that had fast paced action, mystery, magic, a murdering demon, romance, sex, love, evil siblings, a few twists - and all this was intertwined with the 'oh, who is it?' basis of the storyline that keeps you guessing..... and your earphones glued in.
Great characters, Hugh the leader of The Shields is instantly attracted to Mina however they were there to do a job and so he tried to fight his attraction to the lovely Mina but, of course, he failed. However, her family had really done a great job in tormenting her through the years so her self-worth was at zero but despite that she started to believe him. Hugh had been deceived before by love and just couldn't trust her and this played a big part in the story which, unfortunately, became repetitive and a bit annoying coupled with Mina's constant low self esteem issues sadly lost this otherwise exciting listen a point from me.
Worth a credit? Now we've met the characters, learned some of the who, what's and whys of The Shields the foundation has been set and I can't wait to discover what imaginative supernatural story-lines DG will conjure up for us in her forthcoming books as she adds and subtracts the Warriors in the series. Sorry, back to the worth a credit question - well that should of been easily answered by my review - an absolute YES.
Antony Ferguson is an excellent narrator.
This story is weak compared with her Immortal Guardians series. I could not get invested in the characters. It was more like a fairy tale "dragon slayer saves the princess" type of story.
I will give the next book in the series a chance since I loved the Immortal Guardians.
If Immortal Guardians was a dog I would say it was a German Shepard and Shields is a frou-frou lap dog.
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Loving the Shields."
I really liked this book. Donna Grant wrote a full rounded story that was full of wanting excitement and Demons. Antony Ferguson was excellent with a wonderful way of changing his voice for each character. Most enjoyable all round. :)
"I can't wait to begin the next book."
Absolutely. It was exciting and romantic with all the action of a paranormal adventure,
It pulled me into the story right away and kept me wondering who was the villain.
Lady Mina
When they were in the barn together, his fierceness to have her belong to him was amazing.
I love Donna Grants writing and am always looking for her next adventure to begin. Her highlander novels are incredible.
I don't want to live in a world without books!
"Not helped by beautiful but plodding narration"
I listened to this to the end, but I listened to it a chapter at a time, like a comic book. It too me over a period of about a year, picking it up only when I wanted to be mildly entertained in preparation to fall asleep. The story itself is very comic booky in style. We have heroes, a beautiful girl, a creepy brother and sister, a castle under seige, and of course, a monster. There is nothing very original, or even very interesting here. It's not horrible, but it's far from great, or even fun.
I love Anthony Ferguson's voice. It's deep, resonant, and has a lovely British accent. Unfortunately, he reads each sentence as if it will be his last. I wonder how good he could be if only he would read without so many melodramatic pauses and a more natural delivery.
I wish there was a way to get an email to him -- the guy has the potential for greatness if only he'd relax a little.
"Simple, light, quick story"
I think there are many people that might like this book. For me it was like a B movie. The dialogue seemed forced for lack of a better term.
No. I seldom recommend books that are less than a 4 or 4 1/2 and or I have listened to multiple times.
He was fine with the male voices but not the female voices. He seemed very robotic too. I am not sure for a narrator.
I did finish it and the ending was happy so, there is that.....
I gave the story 3 even though it was not near as good as other 3s because I finished it, so I didn't want to give it 2s across.
"A decent read/listen"
This was a decent read/listen. I liked the story enough, however I will say it did take all the way to the end to get any answers at all, with no other surprises or twists. The end did get a bit cheesy even for a HEA. The characters were very likable and there was plenty of dialogue. There was a couple decent sex scenes in book.
Although I liked the book well enough, I don't feel like it was a potential addiction book that gave me a rush to read the next in the series.
The narration was good enough. Antony Ferguson is no Robert Petkoff who is the best male narrator ever.
"could not put this down"
one of my top reads
hugh, because of the way he commands without being over bearing and i like his humou8r
hugh, val
guardians of the shield
this one of my favourite reads this year, from the minute i tu7rned the book on i read it til the end and finished in only a few days. the charactors are varied and well defined and the relationships between charactors fully formed. i found that fact that you only learn small bits of the shields history intreaging and a real twist on the fnatays gondra.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Let us first discuss briefly the science behind the project. The Y-chromosome looks like a fuzzy lowercase "y" with small strands of DNA material looking like hairs sticking out from the arms of the "y". Only males have Y-chromosomes, thus, unlike the remaining chromosomes which are mixed in each generation, each male inherits his "y" only from his father. Each "hair" of DNA on the Y-chromosome always occurs at the same place so that locations (called short tandem repeat or STR markers) can be numbered just like street signs. When you see the extensive charts of numbers such as 13-24-14-10 that means that at the first listed location the STR was 13 units long of repeating DNA; the second location was 24 units long, etc. There is no magic order in which STR data is presented; we use the Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) order convention for the first 68 numbers (markers) because Family Tree DNA has been our primary lab for STR testing since 2003.
The significance of the numbers is very simple: the larger the fraction of them that match between two people, the more closely the two people are related.
As the genetic structure of the Y-chromosome is being replicated, slippages or mutations occur. By definition mutations are random and can happen once each generation or once in a thousand generations. Thus, all of our answers are based on probabilities rather than fixed mechanical calculations.
Persons are also identified by "Haplogroups" like R1a or I:M223. The last common ancestor of people in different haplogroups lived tens of thousands of years ago.
The mutations on the Y-chromosome do not identify us as blonde, brunette, redhead, tall, short, thin, stocky, swarthy or fair, smart or dull. There is no first or last prize for having the most or fewest mutations from a single common signature.
You have probably read about "genetic testing" or "genetic counseling" for various diseases. The parts of the Y chromosome tested for genealogy purposes are not related to any disease. However, one marker, DYS464, is very rarely related to male infertility. If you already have children, this of course cannot be a worry to you. In any case, the probability of this being detected is extremely small.
For an optional longer discussion of the DNA science here on this web site, which explains lots more of the jargon, click on the Next button below. There are other many studies and websites which provide excellent discussions of the scientific issues behind the studies. You can click on a link to each of those studies by clicking on Kerchner (big and comprehensive!), MacGregor, Ethnoancestry, also very big, or the National Geographic Society (very slick but very slow to load). Questions may be addressed to the Genealogy-DNA discussion board at rootsweb.com, which is populated by many very knowledgeable but often opinionated people, or the dna-newbie board at Yahoo Groups.

Recently, a startup named CloudOn launched their eponymous app that offers users the ability to edit Microsoft Office files on their iPad. The app supported Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel spreadsheets, all available through CloudOn's WorkSpace technology. As well, it supported Dropbox synchronization for uploading and editing files from the cloud-based storage service, and the ability to open attachments from the email client in the app directly. The app also launched for free, which compared to most apps with similar functionality was a steep discount.
Astute readers will notice the usage of past tense throughout the article so far. That's because a free app with the ability to use Microsoft Office on the iPad was apparently quite popular. The app launched on January 3rd, and was so initially popular that CloudOn had to pull the app from the App Store in order to meet demand. They're currently accepting invitations to get back in to the service when the app relaunches, though no date has been offered for when it will be back up for download. Until then, we'll have to suffer the tyranny of editing our Office documents on our computer, or with pricey paid apps!

The skirt part makes them look like they are wearing a short skirt, but with the divided legs, they can kick and jump without worrying about what someone might see.
I also have a swimsuit that has a skort bottom. I like this because it covers more of my legs than a traditional swimsuit bottom does.

Carillon is an affordable toy which stimulates cognitive skills through multidisciplinarity.
Its conical shape suggests a function and a reference motion. Carillon rotates and revolves tilted, by doing so its relief patterns leave concentric creative marks if slightly dipped in ink.
Associations happen just like when discerning images in clouds or patterns in ink marks. Interaction takes place on diverse cognitive levels, various elements are involved, such as kinematics, drawing, creation of words from letters, spatial awareness by suggested 3D visual associations to 2D pattern formation etc.
Carillon is aimed to age 4 and up, when the child performs increasingly complex sequential and symbol based tasks and where space and motion become an interesting phenomenon to study through play.
The child is inspired by associations between the object's physical appearance and with what it can create if put into motion by simple rotation. Playing with more than one Carillon can create uncountable possibilities and motifs both with symbols and letters.
Every part of Carillon is composed of biodegradable plastic obtained from corn through a simple conical mould with relief patterns. The stick useful to make it revolve can be re-used.
Carillons are sold in assorted groups hanging from a string, as they all have a hole in the center. Collections of Carillons may be produced in any color.

Join us for a discussion of debut novel, The Kept. Author James Scott will visit us at 7 pm for a discussion of the book. This event is free and open to the public - you need not have read the book for book club to come and listen to James discuss his novel at 7 pm.
About the book
In the winter of 1897, midwife Elspeth Howell arrives at her isolated farmstead in upstate New York to discover an unthinkable crime. The only survivor is her twelve-year-old son, Caleb, who joins her in mourning the tragedy and planning its reprisal.
Their long journey leads them to a roughhewn lake town, defined by the violence of both its landscape and its inhabitants. There Caleb is forced into a brutal adulthood as he slowly discovers truths about his family he never suspected, and Elspeth must confront the terrible urges and unceasing temptations that have haunted her for years.
"Scott is a master of mood… This landscape is more mythic than historic, and Scott's characters are dark brush strokes of appetite and deceit."
—New York Times
"Scott's prose is impressively informed by a powerful concoction of American fundamentalism spiked with the fervent belief in an eye-for-eye."
—Washington Post
"James Scott has written a riveting and memorable debut novel."
—Tom Perrotta

The PhanganProject, Ko Pha Ngan
Years ago, His Majesty the King of Thailand declared Ko Pha Ngan to be a part of an organic island movement; that is, he asked Thai people to promote eco-friendly, organic activities on the island. The idea is honourable and ambitious, but unfortunately, until recently, besides a few organic farms that have slowly taken shape on the island, not much has been done to move forward with it. Enter the PhanganProject, a not-for-profit project started less than a year ago by Nico van Engelen aiming to make Ko Pha Ngan green once again.
Located at Phangan Chai Hotel, the tallest building on Ko Pha Ngan (just opposite the main pier in Thong Sala), the PhanganProject encompasses many green and traveller-friendly activities. There's a recycling drop-off point — one of the few such places on the island — a community swap, where you can bring what you no longer need and take what you do, and an organic market on Tuesdays from 10:00 until 16:00.
The hotel's owners have donated rooms to house five volunteers, many of whom have been around since the project began. They eat their meals together, play music and watch movies together. "It feels like a community," van Engelen told Travelfish.org. Due to the limited number of rooms, the Project asks that volunteers stay for a minimum of four weeks, and in exchange for 20 hours of work a week, they are provided with accommodation. Rooms are spacious and clean, many with lovely views.
People who are staying elsewhere on the island however can and do often come in just to volunteer for the day, van Engelen says. The most popular project is a permaculture garden in the back. The garden, made entirely from donated and found materials — including a tile path constructed from the broken down wall of a go-go bar — is shaped like a spiral, inspired by a curled up centipede. Real innovation and creativity lives in this place.
Their current programmes are focused on the permaculture garden, classes, a community centre and free school, offering Thai lessons to English speakers, and offering English lessons to Thai and Burmese speakers (currently for children, with an adult programme on the way). They also work with organic farmers and the Thai community through their Thai volunteers, whom Nico says have been invaluable to the programme's success with getting encouragement to focus on organic living across to the Thai community.
The vision is to turn Phangan Chai Hotel into the centre of the green tourism industry on Ko Pha Ngan; it's a big vision that comprises a long to-do list that seems to never end, Nico explains, but they're well on their way to creating a solidified movement, something that they want to have in place before they seek funding from the government.
Nico and the other volunteers are happy with their progress so far, and he believes that the project is going a long way towards bringing eco-tourism and organic activities to street level, integrating with the local and travel community on Ko Pha Ngan. "The days of the hippies in the hills is kinda over," he says.
The poster for organic vodka to drink at the full moon party in the hotel's reception is an indication of just that — hedonistic travel on this island is slowly becoming more eco-friendly, thanks greatly to the efforts of the PhanganProject. So, if you're hanging out on Ko Pha Ngan and want to get your eco on, head on over to the community centre, extend a hand, pick up a shovel, and be part of Pha Ngan's growing environmental movement.

SIS: Transfers
13 June 2011
Under the new rules, student transfers should, wherever possible, only be processed at the start or end of each academic year.
Introducing the new Student Information System has enabled LJMU to review and establish a set of rules on how specific processes should be managed by staff across the university. One such area is how student transfers are managed by L&SS and Faculty Admission Hubs to ensure that all students receive the best possible student experience with minimal disruption to their studies or their student funding.
More information on this and other aspects of managing transfers on SIS are outlined below. If you have a question that's not answered here, please contact the SIS Project Team by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com
Q1: Should we record transfer details on OSS for the 2011/2012 academic year?
Yes – if this information is known before the 8 July cutover deadline you should update the relevant student records accordingly. The general advice to staff managing student records is to do as much as you can before the records are copied from OSS and migrated onto SIS – that includes inputting marks and grades, progression, transfers, withdrawals, etc. To find out more about the migration criteria, click here.
Q2: How will transfers be managed after the cutover?
After 8 July, all transfers will be managed on SIS.
Q3: How are transfers managed on SIS?
Transfers are defined under four distinct business processes in SIS
Programme Change |
Changing programmes on SIS is a complex process reflecting the fact that changing from programme A to programme B may have implications for the tuition fees that students are liable to pay or the student loans they are eligible to receive. Other than the exceptions identified below all programme changes will be managed by staff in the Student Zones. Exceptions:
Plan Change | This is a relatively simple process on SIS as the system's academic structure is configured to take into account the majority of transfers plan options within each programme (such as transfers to fallback awards, alternative exits and specialisms / routeways or moves between full-time and sandwich plans). As these changes are normally an Assessment Board outcome and there are no student finance implications, these transfers will be managed by the Faculties. |
Data Change | This relates to a change of academic load, for example when students switch from studying full-time to part-time study. These types of transfers will be managed by the Student Zones as there may be changes to the tuition fees that must be charged. |
Re-admission | The re-admission process should be used for all 'transfers' into year 1 of a programme and will be managed jointly by the relevant Faculty Admission Hub and Student Zone. Examples of a re-admission include a student progressing from a foundation programme at a partner college onto a degree at LJMU, or from an undergraduate degree to a Masters programme. |
Q4: When should transfers take place?
Ideally transfers should only be completed:
- at the start of the academic year as part of enrolment prior to the module registration deadline
- or following the outcome of the Assessment Boards at the end of the year.
Student self-service should reduce the number of transfers required as a result of administrative errors as students will be asked to check that they are enrolled on the correct programme (and the correct modules) as part of the re-registration process at the start of each new academic year.
Q5: Can we transfer students at other times of year on SIS?
Yes you can but this should be avoided due to the negative impact this could have on the student experience. Students will have missed key teaching and learning activities as well as formative and summative assessments. Depending on the nature of the transfer it may also have implications for their student funding.
That's doesn't mean that transfers can't be completed at other times of the academic year but it will be both complicated and time-consuming for staff. A Helpdesk query must be raised to help you manage the process as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The Helpdesk email is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Q6: What happens if a student withdraws from a programme and then a few months later decides they want to study another programme at LJMU?
If a student's record has been updated and their active status is defined as 'Withdrawn' they cannot be automatically transferred onto another programme. Instead they must submit a new application form which should be considered alongside other applications for the programme. There will be no automatic right to a place on the new course. That's why it is vital that students are directed to a Student Zone where they can get advice and guidance before they formally withdraw from their studies at LJMU.
Q7: What about students who want to change programmes at the start of the year?
If a student wants to change programmes just after they've enrolled at LJMU they need to get permission from the Faculty delivering their preferred programme of study. If they receive the correct permissions, the student should then be directed to the Faculty Admission Hub where the re-admission will be processed. The Hub should then inform Student Zone staff who will complete the programme cancellation process and inform the Student Loans Company about the transfer details.
Q8: Or, at the end of the academic year?
If a student decides that they want to change programmes at the end of their first year, they should first talk to their Programme or Personal Tutors about what their options are. They should then be directed to their Faculty Admission Hub so that a re-admission onto year 1 of programme B can be processed. The Hub will send a transfer form to Student Zone staff who will send relevant details to the Student Loans Company.

Over the past few decades Integrated Assessment (IA) has emerged as an approach to link knowledge and action in a way that is suitable to accommodate uncertainties, complexities and value diversities of global environmental risks. Responding to the complex nature of the climate problem and to the changing role of climate change in the international climate policy process, the scientific community has started to include stakeholder knowledge and perspectives in their assessments. Participatory Integrated Assessment (PIA) is in its early stage of development. Methodology varies strongly across PIA projects. This paper analyzes four recent IA projects of climate change that included knowledge or perspectives from stakeholders in one-way or another. Approaches and methods used turn out to differ in whether stakeholders are involved actively or passively, whether the approach is bottom-up or top-down, and whether the different functions in the IA process are open or closed to stakeholder input. Also, differences can be seen in the degree to which boundaries are pre-set that limit the roles and domains of competencies attributed to each scientific or non-scientific participant (so-called boundary work). The paper discusses pros and cons of the various approaches identified, and outlines heuristics and considerations to assist those who plan, design or fund new IA processes with stakeholder input on what approaches best to choose in view of the objectives for stakeholder involvement, in view of the role that the IA plays in the overall risk management process and in view of considerations regarding boundary work.

Surprise! Billionaire Democrat Jeff Greene Joins Florida Senate Race
Categories: Politicks
Jeff Greene officially announced his candidacy this morning. We've already mentioned him and his quirky past before (recap: Mike Tyson was his best man, Hollywood madam Heidi Fliess lived with him for a year, and he made millions by betting against the real estate market). Greene also plans to finance most of his campaign with his own fortune. He won't accept special interest money, and will limit personal donations to $100. His personal checkbook could make him a force, and insider Democrats who have rallied around Kendrick Meek aren't exactly happy.
Greene only moved to Florida in 2008, and previously ran as a moderate Republican for a congressional seat in California in the '80s, but says otherwise he is a lifelong Democrat.
You can watch his announcement video below, where he rallies against his failed "career politician" opponents, special interests and the failures of Washington.

Termination of SMBA/TNC Lease, effective Dec 17, 2013
The SMBA board was recently notified by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Finch Pruyn that they have terminated our lease of the Daniels Road property effective 12/17/13 in preparation of the upcoming land transfer to NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
What does this mean for SMBA members?
The bad news:
For now there is no authorized access for SMBA members. SMBA members and the general public will not have legal access to the trails during the interim period between now and when the state acquisition is finalized. If you decide to ride the trails during this period it is at your own risk.
The good news:
As previously communicated, TNC needs to terminate our lease in order to close on the land transfer. While TNC doesn't have a firm closing date from DEC, this is a positive sign that the land transfer is happening soon. TNC/Finch Pruyn have told us that the land transfer is likely to occur within the next one to three months, and at the absolute latest is anticipated to be completed by the end of this State fiscal year (March 2014).
Once the land transfer occurs, the property will be open to the public for non-motorized uses similar to other property managed by DEC.
For several years, the SMBA board has been actively involved with DEC regarding the land transfer. We have prepared the application for DEC's Volunteer Stewardship Agreement (exactly like the one we have at Pittstown State Forest) and intend to file the application as soon as the land is sold to NYS. As steward of the state forest, SMBA will continue to steward the Daniels Road trails, much the way we always have.
As soon as more information is available, we'll email an update to the membership list and post an update on the club website and Facebook page. Remember, membership support will be crucial in our efforts to build our relationship with the DEC through active communication and trustworthy land stewardship. Support your club so we can continue to ride these trails after the land transfer is complete!
Please help spread the word – Effective 12/17/2013, SMBA members no longer have legal access to the Daniels Road trail network until the land transfer is finalized.

FRANKFORT – Homeowners taking advantage of homestead exepmtion tax credits are getting a little added assistance as the state moves to set the upcoming year's rate $2,000 higher than last year.
The maximum homestead exemption on real estate owned by qualified persons has been set at $36,000 for the 2013 and 2014 tax periods.
The 2013-2014 exemption reflects a $2,000 increase over the 2011-2012 exemption of $34,000.
The amount of the homestead exemption is adjusted every two years in accordance with KRS 132.810 to compensate for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. The exemption provided state and local property tax savings of approximately $171 million for more than 416,000 elderly or disabled Kentuckians during the 2012 tax year.
To qualify for the homestead exemption, a person must be at least 65 years old during the tax period or must be classified as totally disabled by any public or private retirement system. The property must also be owned, occupied and maintained by the taxpayer as a personal residence on the January 1 assessment date.
Applications for the homestead exemption should be filed in the local Property Valuation Administrator's office.
