Frequently Asked Questions
What type of room will I be allocated?
We have so many different types of room to choose from, and this depends entirely on where it is you're studying and which residence you're interested in.
Feel free to be nosy and have a browse we've got En-suite rooms or rooms with shared bathrooms, as well as Studios, Shared Apartments and more.
Who will I be sharing with?
The best people in the world, obviously (because they're our customers!). In all seriousness, we can't say for sure, but it's likely that you'll share with other students who may or may not be similar to you.
Youll meet some characters, you'll hopefully make loads of friends, and you'll get the full student experience when you live with us.
We can't really predict how many of you will be in your flat, as it varies so much between our cities and residences.
We're sure you can handle a surprise, but if not, just let us know and we'll do our best to help.
Can I specify any preferences for my new flatmates?
We're happy for you to state your preferred gender to share with, as well as their year of study. Well, do our very best to sort this out.
Can I introduce myself to my flatmates before I move in?
We cant give you the names of your new flatmates without their permission, but were more than happy for you to get acquainted on Facebook or other social media channels before you arrive.
Once weve let you know your room number, you can post to your hearts content and hopefully find the people youll be living with.
Can I book with friends?
A friend of yours is a friend of ours! Were more than happy for you to bring your whole crew. To book with friends, you just need to let us know their names, and well do our best to allocate you a flat together.
Can I change my contract after I've signed it?
If you want to change things like your room size, increase your contract length or anything else, you may be able to do so subject to availability.
Please be aware that these requests may incur a charge and is at the managers discretion.
What happens if I change my mind completely?
If youre in your first year, you're able to cancel your contract right up until August, as long as you can provide the evidence that you are no longer attending that University (for example, proof that you have not been accepted by the university because of your A-Level results, or proof of acceptance at a different University in a different city). The actual cancellation cut-off date in August changes every year so please check your contract.
If youre not a first year, or you have a change of heart after this date, well do our very best to help you sell the room on to another student. Unfortunately, until this is sold, you're still contracted to the payments and the terms of the contract.
Do I have to be a first year to live here?
Not at all! All types of students are welcome, providing you can prove to us that you're attending some kind of full-time uni or college-type place.
We have loads of postgraduate students as well as second and third years (and so on); you can even have a chat with one of the team to see if its possible to match you with slightly more mature folk to suit your needs.
Is there an age restriction in place to live here?
Whilst most of our students are in their late teens and twenties, there is no upper limit on the ages we accept to live with us here at Property Management.
We want you to feel comfortable, so please consider the many room type options that we have before booking to best suit your needs. Mature students tend to prefer Studios, as they're a bit less noisy and you do get some space away from boisterous freshers!
If you're a postgraduate student, we often offer dedicated floors just for you, which will help you focus on your studies ahead.
Please note the majority of 18 years of age by the time their Tenancy Agreement starts however, we know some students might not yet have hit that magic number so please get in touch if thats you and we can make sure we know to expect you and help with your booking.
Equality and diversity policies
We do not treat any person or group of persons applying for accommodation less favourably because of their race, colour, ethnic or national origin, gender, disability, appearance, age, marital status, sexual orientation or social status.
We run an active anti-discrimination policy and don't discriminate against any person or group of persons for any reason.
Can I pay my rent in instalments?
We know that not everyone can pay an entire years rent in one go and thats absolutely fine! You're able to pay the rent in three different instalments, spaced out throughout the year.
We time these payments to match the typical student loan payment dates, just to make life easier.
Can I use my student loan to cover my rent?
Your student loan is yours to do whatever you want with (providing its legal, of course!).
Just remember, not everyones loan will cover the rent for their accommodation, so youll need to think about how youre going to afford the rest of it before you arrive. We schedule our rent instalments to match up with the typical loan payment dates.
If you need to reschedule your rent dates we need to see your student loan schedule. We cant issue your keys until your first rent payment has cleared or until we have a payment plan in place based on your student loan dates.
What happens if my student loan isn't paid on time?
We're more than happy to have a chat with you about circumstances like this which are out of your control. Student loans are almost always paid on time, but if they're not, we need you to be proactive and contact both the Student Loans Company and us to try to resolve the issue.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We hope it doesnt' happen, but in the unfortunate scenario that it does, just talk to us.
We've worked with students for over 15 years and know things don't always go to plan. Our staff are here to help you to budget and manage your finances. If we cant speak to you about a missed payment, you may incur late charges or face legal action.
You also will have given us the details of a Guarantor who well look to collect payments from in the event that youre struggling.
What is a Guarantor and why do I need one?
As part of your Tenancy Agreement with Property Management, you have a duty to pay your rent on time.
We understand that sometimes thats just not possible, which is why we ask UK students to back themselves up with a responsible adult that they can trust (and one who trusts them!). Usually, students ask their parents, guardians or another family member to be the Guarantor.
We hope you don't need this person, but in case of any late or missed payments, we need their details before you can book a room with us so that we can claim any outstanding balances or monies from them.
A Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contract, and so you need their permission before you get them to take responsibility. Well need some information from them, too, such as their contact details and proof of address which we collect at the point of booking a room with us.
How much are bills are there any others to pay?
All your bills are included in your rent seriously! Thats your gas, electricity, water, heating and yes, even Wi-Fi.
Do I need to pay council tax?
Nope! One of the many benefits of being a student is that you dont have to pay any council tax youre completely and utterly exempt. You will need to obtain a form from your University once you enrol just to stop yourself from being chased for it!
What happens if I leave my course early?
If you leave your course early, youll need to find somebody to take over your Tenancy Agreement, as agreed with us here at Property Management.
Youre responsible for paying the rent for your room until its been legally transferred to a new and acceptable tenant.
When do I get my deposit back?
Providing everythings alright, youll get your deposit back within 28 days of your contract ending. The deposit is refundable providing we dont need to use any of it towards damages, but well discuss this with you if thats the case.
The deposit itself isnt actually held by us throughout the duration of your Tenancy Agreement and your stay here. Its actually protected and insured under something called the Deposit Protection Service, which is a national initiative designed to be completely impartial.
My English isnt great. Will this be a problem?
Not at all! We understand that coming all the way to a new country is scary for anyone, and we will do our best to make this your home away from home. You may even find that there are other people from your country in your residence, as over 4,500 students from abroad stay with us every year.
Some residences have multi-lingual staff, but regardless, we will do our absolute best to help you settle in.
If you fancya chat at any time wed be more than happy, as youll be able to put to practise your English language skills.
Youre sure to improve your English during your time staying with us.
Whats included in my room?
Firstly, the cost of your room includes all your bills for the year. Your room also comes fully furnished so that you dont need to show up with everything youve ever owned.
Youll get a bed (either a 4ft double or a single), a desk (perfect for all that studying) and of course, your very own chair to go along with it.
Oh, and we also include storage space and lots of it too.
What do I need to bring?
We cant list every single thing that we think you might need, because wed be here all day. However, as an overview its an idea to bring; bedding, towels, shoes, clothes, hangers, toiletries, books, a computer and a cuddly toy (optional).
Dont worry, you can hide that last one when your friends come over thats basically what our storage was made for!
Is there anything I cant bring?
All we ask is that you please leave anything illegal out of your new home, and we also cant allow candles or other hazardous items, either.
Fridges are another no-no. However, we do make some exceptions, for example if you've got a medical reason to have one. Thats fine so long as we know about it, but if you just fancy a midnight snack well have to ask you to pop to the kitchen!
How can I watch TV?
There are TVs in many of the communal kitchens, and some bedrooms include TVs too - you're more than welcome to check what is provided before you arrive. You will need a TV licence for your bedroom if youre watching TV LIVE or on-demand, and if you have a TV licence for your bedroom this automatically covers the communal kitchen too.
If you just want to watch TV in the communal kitchen, then you and your flatmates can arrange a single TV licence together. Students living in a studio will also need to arrange their own TV licence if you plan to watch TV LIVE or on-demand.
Do I get my own bathroom?
This completely depends on the type of room that you select at the time of booking. Our En-suite rooms and Studios all have a bathroom inside the rooms themselves.
If you share a bathroom, you wont have to share it with many people at all. We would recommend that you perhaps make a shower rota to avoid showing up late for things though!
Will I be able to study in my room?
Our student accommodation would be pretty rubbish if we didnt make it possible for you to study here, wouldnt it? The clue is in the name.
We provide a spacious desk to each student, as well as a chair and free Internet so that youve got a great study area to get those dissertations completed on time.
Do I have to move out over the Christmas or Easter holidays?
No, absolutely not. Your room is yours until the end of your contracted time listed in your Tenancy Agreement. Thats sure to save you a lot of hassle!
Can I personalise my room?
Remember, you will need to give your bedroom back at the end of your Tenancy Agreement in good condition for the next resident, so you cant redecorate as such.
That means we unfortunately cant allow you to stick things on the walls with blue/white tac or pins, because we would have to charge you for any lasting damages! Try using Washi tape.
However, that isnt to say that you cant find some nice trinkets to make your room more homely. All of our rooms are pretty neutral so you can inject a little bit of spark into each and every one.
What if I want to change my room?
This depends on a few things, including our availability and the reasons why you want to change. If you're having any problems at all big or small the residence team will be happy to help.
Changing rooms is usually a last resort, but we will do our absolute best to help you settle in.
Is there maintenance included in my room?
Our maintenance teams are basically superheroes, and were hardly exaggerating, plus there is no charge for their help. If you need something fixed, you just need to let us know by logging a request with the Residence Team, and the teams will fix it for you ASAP.
What happens if I damage something?
Accidents happen, but anything that is damaged will need to be paid for, and there is a list of costs here. Charges will be added immediately, and you can either pay at the time or the charges will be added to your account and taken at the end of your stay this may need to come out of your security deposit.
You also have to bear in mind that your guests are your responsibility so if they damage something, youre the one who has to pay.
In any event, please report all damage sorry to sound a bit like school!
How can people send things to me?
Their residence teams are men and women of many talents they fill every kind of capacity imaginable, even concierge.
Theyll happily sign for any letters or parcels you might receive, so you can keep in touch via snail mail, or shop online to your hearts content.
Youll also receive your own designated post box with a key for you to collect any ordinary post at your leisure. Anyone sending anything just needs to pop your full name and flat number in front of the residence address, to make sure it reaches you.
How do I do laundry?
We cant exactly expect you to succeed with dirty clothes now, can we? All residences have washing and drying facilities, making it easy for you to stay up-to-date on your laundry pile without too much hassle.
Sadly, mum and dad arent here to sort it for you at Property Management, so nows the time for you to learn. You need to separate your light and dark clothes, and you need to check the labels to see what temperature they can be washed at before you pop them in the machine, too.
We use a laundry system called Circuit Laundry across all of our residences, and you pay for each load with credit which you (or someone else) can top up online.
What are the kitchen facilities like?
The answer to that would be AWESOME! But seriously, you get a hob, oven, fridge, freezer and cupboards, plus plenty of space to become a world class chef (ahem).
Are my pots and pans included in my rent?
Youll need to bring your own pots and pans and other kitchen bits and bobs, unless you order one of our Kitchen Packs before you arrive. You can also split the cost of a kettle and toaster between you and your flatmates, and you should probably talk about taking it in turns to buy stuff to clean with to save on costs, too.
You can bring anything you like to become a culinary genius, just please dont bring any deep fat fryers or your own fridge theres space for each of you in the ones provided.
Is there a common room?
Most residences have common areas where you can socialise. These are spaces within in the building for you to relax and take a load off, meet up with friends to study, watch TV or take part in any of our great Student Experience events.
Who cleans the communal areas?
You are all responsible for doing your bit. You should keep things tidy and make sure you wash your dishes after you eat. All students sharing common areas are jointly responsible for any cleaning fees you might incur at the end of the academic year.
Your room, however? Well thats on you!
Can I smoke anywhere in the building?
Nope! Sorry, its just our policy. This means literally anywhere in the building, so please just dont bother. We will be happy to point you to designated areas outside where you can smoke.
What happens if I dont get on with my flatmates?
We get it. At University, youll meet loads of people from all kinds of backgrounds, with loads of different interests and personalities. Its not expected that youd get on with absolutely everyone.
However, part of the student experience is learning more about totally new people, and wed really appreciate everyone doing their very best to make everyone feel welcome. You never know you may make bonds with people you never imagined that youd meet!
If there are any serious problems please let the Residence Team know, and theyll arrange an informal and confidential chat with everyone involved.
Do you have a gym?
Some residences do, others dont. For more details, have a look at the facilities in your specific residence on the designated page, or just give us a call.
Can my guests use the gym?
Due to the fact that the gym is inclusive in your rent (where available), we have to ask that your guests do not accompany you there. Our insurance simply doesnt cover any visitors.
Can I bring my bike?
Yep! You can stay healthy and save money and all that jazz, and well let you store your bike in our special storage facility completely free of charge. You just cant bring it inside the residence.
Please note, if you are bringing your bike youll need to request additional insurance as bikes arent included in your free insurance cover.
Can I bring my car?
This really depends. Some residences have huge car parks; others dont have any place to park at all. Please give your residence a call to check and to find out the additional costs involved.
Can I bring Jaws & Speedy, my pet goldfish and my pet tortoise?
We know, we know it would take Speedy a year to break out of the building, so in theory, hes doing no harm. However, we have to draw the line somewhere, so unfortunately, pets arent allowed!
If you need a guide dog or a working dog to assist you, please call us to discuss your options.
Can I store my luggage before I get there?
Unfortunately, we dont have space to store anyones luggage prior to their arrival sorry! Once you get here, however, theres plenty of space in your room for everything you might be bringing.
What if theres nobody there when I arrive?
There will always be someone on hand to greet you when you move in, as most of our residences have 24 hour staff. Please try to let us know when you might get here so that we can expect and plan your arrival.
How can I make moving-in day run more smoothly?
Please bring photo ID and a little bit of patience. Remember, you most likely won't be the only one moving in.
Where do I get my keys?
When you get here, follow signs to register with us. This is where youll need to provide your ID, paperwork and everything else, and itll most likely be at reception. Once youre done and dusted, theyll give you your new keys/fob for your new home!
Can I bring family/friends to help me set up?
Of course! Youre building a whole new life here at Property Management and that takes a bit of work. The more the merrier from our perspective we want you to feel at home.
Will there be parking for me to unload my things?
In most sites the answer is yes, but for a limited time only. There will most likely be hundreds of students milling around, all with the same idea of getting settled so we have to be fair.
Staff will be more than happy to direct you to local parking places after the initial drop-off if time and space is limited.
Can I find out who my flatmates are before I move in?
Thats what social media was made for. Once weve let you know your room number you can post it on our social media channels and hopefully find your new best friends before you arrive!
How much does the Internet cost?
You get free 50Mb/s high speed broadband and Wi-Fi connection included in your room as standard in most Property Management residences*. We use the student provider Ask4 to connect our students with the outside world, and their basic package is perfect for a bit of Facebook browsing, Netflix binging and of course, studying!
There is the opportunity to upgrade your package for a small fee, if you need a bit of extra speed for those gaming nights!
How do I get online?
When you arrive youll be able to head to Ask4, our providers website to set up. You can switch on Wi-Fi on your device, or use a cable for broadband connections hey presto, there you go!
How many devices can I connect?
You can connect up to seven devices, so you never need to feel out of sync.
Does Wi-Fi cost extra?
Just like the broadband connection included in the cost of your rent, Wi-Fi is another helpful little addition which we provide absolutely free of charge.
The basic package is 50Mb/s* and can connect up to seven devices; so its perfect for anything you might need. You can even upgrade your speed for a small fee.
Who provides the Wi-Fi?
The Internet in your new home is provided by our trusted partner, Ask4, in most Property Management residences*. Theyre super experienced in all things studenty and Internety, so youre in good hands.
In fact, theyre the leaders in what they do and they have 24/7 support available to make sure everything runs smoothly, too.
Can I use my own wireless router?
Unfortunately, we have to ask everyone to turn off any personal routers that they may have. We hate to sound like the cyber police, but it just keeps our service running more quickly. Other routers only interfere.
Is the residence safe?
Completely. We hope that you will feel ultra-secure throughout your time with us. We have CCTV monitoring all our residences, and there is also an electronic key fob entry system to prevent random people coming in off the street.
Your individual room can be accessed only by you, with a key. All guests are signed in, and most residences also have a security team patrolling throughout the night.
Remember, your belongings are also insured.
Why are my windows restricted?
Its a legal requirement that we have to restrict the windows for your safety. Please dont tamper with this restriction, and let us know straight away if it breaks.
Im locked out. What should I do?
If youve lost or forgotten your keys or fob, dont panic. There will almost always be someone available at the residence to let you back in and sort out a replacement.
Please note that there will be a charge for any replacements issued.
Will there be someone available 24/7?
Most residences have management teams available throughout the working week, and security teams working around the clock at night times and weekends to support you.
Do you have fire safety procedures in place?
Their fire alarms are tested weekly and there will be a drill at the start of the academic year to ensure that everyone knows exactly where theyd need to head in the event of a real evacuation.
There is appropriate emergency signage located throughout each building, but if youre ever unsure or worried, you can speak to staff wholl be happy to explain where youd need to go.
We ask that everyone behaves safely and responsibly at all times and remember falsely setting off a fire alarm is a criminal offence and it could cost you your place at University as well as a criminal record.
Who do I call in an emergency?
For medical emergencies, in the event of fire, or if you are the victim of crime, you must always call for an ambulance, the fire brigade, or the police.
The number in the UK is 999. However, if you are having an emergency that you feel we could help you with, you should contact any member of staff.

Teroldego: One Crushworthy Italian Grape's Revival
There are 1,368 varieties covered in Master of Wine Jancis Robinson's Wine Grapes. Bet you can't try them all.
Note from the author: There are 1,368 varieties covered in Wine Grapes by MW Jancis Robinson, MW Julia Harding, and Dr. Jose Vouillamoz. Bet you can't try them all.
I don't know how to say this, but... I have a giant crush on Elisabetta Foradori. I have only met her once, and very briefly (it was at a crowded tasting where I'm sure I mumbled something urgent, excited, and lame about "what a big fan" I was while attempting to savor that face-to-face moment and the tiny, incredible taste in my glass as those around me elbowed their way in to the heroine). Still, I admire her with a fervor reserved for idols.
Elisabetta conveys all the qualities that, in my dark and insecure moments, I catch myself lacking: calm, confidence, grace, and poise. She's beautiful in that natural, effortless way that only European women seem able to achieve. And then there is her wine, reflecting Elisabetta like a mirror: confident yet graceful, poised and calm in its easy, natural beauty.
To be honest, the 2010 Foradori Vignettie delle Dolomiti Teroldego is not a wildly complex or profound wine; its brambly blackberry and tart pomegranate flavors are not shy (or remotely clumsy), though neither are they woven with ulterior aspirations. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the acid-bound fruit is an immovable black minerality. If you taste quietly, you might catch star anise on the finish. This wine's simple, straightforward confidence is one of the reasons I love it so very much. I also love that it doesn't require a special occasion; you can grab a weeknight bottle for under $20.
But I would pay $40 for it, simply for the story and as a donation to Elisabetta, who almost single-handedly revived the Teroldego grape in her hometown in the Campo Rotaliano area of Italy's Trentino region. Wine Grapes gives the Cliff's Notes version: Teroldego has been cultivated for many centuries in northern Italy, though in 2000 the planted acreage was down to just 1,705 and further decreasing. "Recommended producers include Elisabetta Foradori," says the book, "who instigated a quality revolution in the mid 1980s exemplified by her straight Teroldego Rotaliano and the more concentrated and ageworthy Granato..."
The rest of the story is that Elisabetta was thrown into winemaking at the young age of 20 after the untimely passing of her father. She made a quick study of winemaking and took over the estate, focused at first on efficiency fueled by industrialism. These were the times; this was the way.
Thankfully, intuition got the best of Elisabetta, and she gradually traded the machines for a new mantra—in her own words, "respect, waiting, love, listening, honesty." Quantity may have gone down, but the quality, distinctiveness, and character of her Teroldego shot through the roof. In addition to the everyday-drinking Vignetti delle Dolomiti Teroldego, Elisabetta makes that brooding, powerful and presence-filled Granato that Wine Grapes mentioned, as well as two epic, vineyard-specific versions that are aged in amphora. It didn't take long after setting off that "quality revolution" before critics, collectors, and everyday wine-lovers caught onto Elisabetta and her wines. I suppose it's hard not to notice when something so distinct passes in front of you.
Look for this bottle. When you find it, buy it. In fact, buy two. I promise it won't be long before you're crushing on Foradori and Teroldego, too.

Is 'The Lone Ranger' debacle an end-of-the-empire sign?
On Monday, many who follow Hollywood — this space included — took a look at the fallout from "The Lone Ranger" on the film's principals, which include Disney and Johnny Depp. It was followed up by many on Tuesday with further analysis—something this paper also did, as I and my stalwart colleague Dawn Chmielewski examined where the studio of Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear goes from here.
But there's a separate, larger question inherent to the "Lone Ranger" conversation having to do with blockbusters and moviemaking generally. Essentially it's this: With attempts at new franchises like Disney's "The Lone Ranger" and Sony's "White House Down" failing, will studios in the coming years double down on the established franchises they already know work, making fewer movies on an ever-narrower band of subjects?
Or will they start diversifying more, making a larger number of movies on a wider range of subjects, only this time with smaller budgets?
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
The answer, of course, is both, depending on the studio involved and the moment at which they're debating the issue. It's how to strike that balance that's the big question. (It's worth noting that most big-time Hollywood players are currently facing the question; for all of the media's fascination with Disney, nearly every major studio has had a bomb of a certain size over the last two summer seasons.)
Disney itself is likely to pursue both strategies at once, with smaller movies like the baseball-cricket story "Million Dollar Arm" and the children's book adaptation "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"—both throwback midrange, all-ages movies they'd moved away from somewhat in recent years—in the works, even as they concentrate their big-budget filmmaking on massive-firepower pictueres such as the "Avengers" and "Finding Nemo" sequels.
Sony, in its way, is doing the same. Though the studio aims to go back to the well again and again on "The Amazing Spider-Man,"--clear your 2018 calendar!--it also has no fewer than three midlevel dramas this fall ("Captain Phillips," "American Hustle" and "The Monuments Men"), a high number even for a studio that likes to take a crack at serious drama.
PHOTOS: Top grossing American movie Westerns
Steven Spielberg created a stir a few weeks ago with his pronouncement that the era of big-budget filmmaking as we knew it was over. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm," he told an audience at USC.
The megabudget crash is of course already underway. But what that new paradigm is remains to be seen. Spielberg and his fellow speaker George Lucas focused in large part on the ways it could change how we see movies—longer playdates, variable pricing. But how will it affect which films are made?
One can never go broke overestimating studio conservatism, which is a reason why the logic of "fewer movies, more sequels" is a smart bet. But "more movies, lower budget" is its own kind of conservatism, and an approach some will inevtiably take.
Hollywood has gone through periods like this before. Bloat and disaster leads to risks and quirkiness—the industry followed a similar path with the 1970s renaissance of gritty dramas and the specialty-film boom of the early 2000s.
But there's a key added factor this time around—the advent of digital platforms that can buttress both marketing and release efforts.
It's interesting that all this talk about a new approach is coming at the same time as an experiment from the website CollegeHumor. With millions of followers online, the Barry Diller-owned website has decided it wants to get into the filmmaking business. So it's made a feature-length movie.
VIDEO: The Lone Ranger's mechanical horse
The film, "Coffee Town," is a bawdy, male-centric comedy in keeping with the site's core audience and mission. It features young stars like Glenn Howerton ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") and Ben Schwartz ("Parks & Recreation"), and is being marketed not with traditional TV ads and outdoor billboards but on sites like Tumblr and Facebook. The company is debuting the movie today, eschewing theaters and releasing it on the likes of iTunes and Amazon. The film was written and directed by Brad Copeland, a veteran of "Arrested Development," based on an idea he, not a corporate branding expert, came up with. And, oh yes, it cost less than half a million bucks.
From a business and production standpoint, the movie is everything "The Lone Ranger" isn't: inexpensive, made without hundreds of studio notes, and not in 4,000 theaters, or even a handful.
There's no way to know if this will work. First and foremost, having a filmic success depends on having a good movie. But "Coffee Town" represents new ways of thinking about an issue, which is welcome and necessary when the old ways of thinking about it are broken.

Ask a Physicist Answers
What does physics have to do with global warming? — ML, New York

From a physics perspective, global warming is a matter of heat balance: the earth's temperature naturally rises until the heat flowing out of the earth balances the heat flowing into it. If the earth can't get rid of heat as fast as new heat arrives, the earth will get hotter, which means that anything that slows the earth's ability to eliminate heat causes its temperature to rise.
Since the earth is an isolated object, suspended in space far from anything else, the only way it can exchange heat with the rest of the universe is through thermal radiation—the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves. Heat flows from the sun to the earth via thermal radiation and from the earth to the depths of space via thermal radiation. The rate at which heat flows to the earth is determined mostly by the sun's properties. But the rate at which the earth radiates away heat is determined by the earth's properties. To begin with, the earth's temperature affects its heat loss; the hotter the earth is, the faster it radiates away heat. But also important is the ease with which the earth's thermal radiation escapes into space. If some of that thermal radiation is caught by the earth's atmosphere before it can escape and its energy returned to the earth, the earth will have to become hotter in order to lose heat as fast as heat arrives.
The presence of complicated molecules in the earth's atmosphere impedes the earth's ability to radiate thermal energy into space. By complicated molecules, I mean ones that have vibrations that allow them to absorb infrared light. The most abundant molecules in our atmosphere, nitrogen and oxygen, don't do that. However, molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane do and because each of these molecules absorbs its own unique spectrum of electromagnetic wavelengths, it contributes to the problems the earth has in getting rid of heat.
These molecules are known as greenhouse gases because they act like the windows of a greenhouse: they trap thermal radiation and force the greenhouse to become hotter before it's able to reach heat balance. Water is the main greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and we should be grateful for its presence. If it weren't for atmospheric water, the average surface temperature of the earth would be just –18 °C (0 °F). But other complicated molecules are also important, even when they're relatively rare. That's because each molecule has a unique absorption spectrum and can absorb wavelengths that the other molecules ignore. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons all act as greenhouse gases, trapping heat along with water and raising the earth's average temperature to about 15 °C (59 °F) or more. And as greenhouse gases increase, so will the earth's temperature.
There is another interesting way to understand the greenhouse effect. The earth is heated primarily by visible light from the sun and that visible light is absorbed mostly at the earth's surface. But the earth emits its thermal radiation primarily as infrared light and this infrared light is emitted mostly from the atmosphere at an average altitude of about 5 kilometers. To maintain heat balance, the atmosphere at an altitude of 5 kilometers must have an average temperature of –18 °C (0 °F), the same temperature that the earth's surface would have if there were no atmosphere. But because the temperature of the atmosphere decreases with altitude by about 6.6 °C per kilometer, the earth's surface temperature must have an average value of about 15 °C (59 °F) in order for the atmosphere to have the right temperature at 5 kilometers.
Unfortunately, adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere raises the average altitude from which the earth's thermal radiation emerges and thus increases the earth's average surface temperature. Concern over this rising temperature is making people think twice before adding more complicated molecules to the atmosphere for fear of causing catastrophic climate change. From a physics perspective, global warming is a matter of heat balance: the earth's temperature naturally rises until the heat flowing out of the earth balances the heat flowing into it. If the earth can't get rid of heat as fast as new heat arrives, the earth will get hotter, which means that anything that slows the earth's ability to eliminate heat causes its temperature to rise.

Multi-Species Genome Comparison Sheds New Light On Evolutionary Processes, Cancer Mutations
Multi-Species Genome Comparison Sheds New Light On Evolutionary Processes, Cancer Mutations
NHGRI Researchers Contribute Dog Data to Groundbreaking Study
BETHESDA, Md., Thurs., July 21, 2005 - An international team that includes researchers from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has discovered that mammalian chromosomes have evolved by breaking at specific sites rather than randomly as long thought - and that many of the breakage hotspots are also involved in human cancer.
In a study published in the July 22 issue of the journal Science, a team of 25 scientists from the United States, France and Singapore compared the organization of the chromosomes of eight mammalian species: human, mouse, rat, cow, pig, dog, cat and horse. Using sophisticated computer software to align and compare the mammals' genetic material, or genomes, the team determined that chromosomes tend to break in the same places as species evolve, resulting in rearrangements of their DNA. Prior to the discovery of these breakage hotspots, the prevailing view among scientists was that such rearrangements occurred at random locations.
"This study shows the tremendous power of using multi-species genome comparisons to understand evolutionary processes, including those with potential relevance to human disease," said NHGRI Scientific Director Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D. "The dog genome map generated by NHGRI researchers and their collaborators played a key role in these new analyses. Furthermore, the team took full advantage of the wealth of human, mouse and rat genome sequence data generated by the recently completed Human Genome Project."
Chromosomes are the threadlike "packages" of DNA located in the nucleus of each cell. When cells divide, a chromosome occasionally breaks and the fragment can get stuck onto another chromosome. In addition, fragments may break off from two different chromosomes and swap places.
Chromosomal breakages, also referred to as translocations, are thought to be important in terms of evolution. When chromosomes break in egg or sperm cells, opportunities arise for the rearrangement of DNA in the resulting offspring. Such inheritable rearrangements may be lethal or cause disease. However, in some cases, the breaks may lead to the production of new or altered proteins with potential to benefit an organism. In addition to their evolutionary implications, chromosomal translocations are known to contribute to the development or progression of many types of cancer.
In their paper, researchers report that the chromosomal abnormalities most frequently associated with human cancer are far more likely to occur in or near the evolutionary breakage hotspots than are less common types of cancer-associated abnormalities. Researchers theorize that the rearrangements seen near breakage hotspots may activate genes that trigger cancer and/or inactivate genes that normally suppress cancer. However, they emphasize that far more work remains to be done to clarify the relationship between cancer and the breakage hotspots. One thing researchers have determined is that the regions immediately flanking the breakage hotspots contain more genes, on average, than the rest of the genome.
The team was led by Harris A. Lewin, Ph.D., of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and William J. Murphy, Ph.D., of Texas A&M University in College Station. Mapping data for the dog genome were provided by NHGRI's Elaine A. Ostrander, Ph.D., and Heidi G. Parker, Ph.D., along with scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research at the University of Rennes. Other study participants were from the National Cancer Institute, the Genome Institute of Singapore and the University of California at San Diego.
"Science tells us that the most effective tool we currently have to understand our own genome is to compare it with the genomes of other organisms. With each new genome that we sequence, we move closer to filling the gaps in our knowledge," said Dr. Ostrander, who is chief of the Cancer Genetics Branch in NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research.
The multi-species comparison published in Science also yielded surprising results about the rate at which chromosomal evolution occurs. Based on an analysis that included a computer-generated reconstruction of the genomes of long-extinct mammals, researchers found the rate of chromosomal evolution among mammals dramatically accelerated following the extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.
Before the sudden demise of dinosaurs and many other types of animals, which is thought to have resulted from a massive comet or asteroid striking Earth, mammals shared fairly similar body plans and also fairly similar genomes. Researchers speculate that the mass extinction opened new ecological niches for mammals, spurring their diversification and the emergence of new mammalian orders. This situation would have facilitated opportunities for the isolation of mammals into more distinct breeding groups, speeding the development of species-specific chromosomes.
"This study has revealed many hidden secrets on the nature and timing of genome evolution in mammals, and it demonstrates how the study of basic evolutionary processes can lead to new insights into the origin of human diseases," said Dr. Lewin, who is director of the Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

An Austrian hacker earned the dubious distinction of writing what are thought to be the first known viruses for Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Vista operating system. Written in July, the viruses take advantage of a new command shell, code-named Monad, that is expected to be included in future versions of the Windows operating system.
The viruses were published last month in a virus-writing tutorial written for an underground hacker group calling itself the Ready Ranger Liberation Front, and take advantage of security vulnerabilities in the new command shell. Unlike the traditional Windows graphical user interface, which relies heavily on the mouse for navigation, command shells allow users to use powerful text-based commands, much like Windows' predecessor, DOS.
The viruses were written by a hacker calling himself "Second Part To Hell," and published on July 21, just days after Monad was publicly released by Microsoft, according to Mikko Hyppanen, chief research officer with Helsinki's F-Secure. Second Part To Hell is the pseudonym of an Austrian-based hacker who also goes by the name Mario, Hyppanen said.
Because of its sophistication, the new command shell offers new opportunities for hackers, Second Part To Hell wrote in the tutorial, a copy of which was obtained by the IDG News Service. "Monad will be like Linux's BASH (Bourne Again Shell) -- that means a great number of commands and functions," he wrote. "We will be able to make as huge and complex scripts as we do in Linux."
F-Secure has named the virus family Danom (Monad in reverse). After examining the code, Hyppanen said that the Danom family is disruptive, but not capable of causing significant damage to Windows users. "These are proof of concept viruses," he said, "Where virus writers want to break new ground and write the first viruses for a new platform."
Most security experts had not expected to see a Windows Vista virus so soon, Hyppanen said. "The only surprise here is that it came so early," he said. "It's been eight days since the beta of the operating system was out." Monad was released several days prior to the Windows Vista beta.
Still, Danom's release does raise questions about whether or not Microsoft should enable the Monad shell by default in Windows Vista.
Because Monad's scripting capabilities will only be used by advanced users, Hyppanen believes Microsoft should not offer the software as part of the standard Windows Vista package when it becomes commercially available in the second half of 2006. This would make the software less prevalent, and therefore less attractive to virus writers, he said.
Microsoft "got burned," by including similar software, called Windows Script Host, by default in its Windows 2000 operating system, he said. "Since it was on the system, all the virus writers were exploiting it," he said.
Microsoft was unable to comment on this story at press time.

hurricane, tropical cyclone in which winds attain speeds greater than 74 mi (119 km) per hr. Wind speeds gust over 200 mi (320 km) per hr in some hurricanes. The term is often restricted to those storms occurring over the N Atlantic Ocean; the identical phenomenon occurring over the W Pacific Ocean is called a typhoon; around Australia and over the Indian Ocean, a tropical cyclone. Hurricanes have a life span of 1 to 30 days. They weaken and are transformed into extratropical cyclones after prolonged contact with the colder ocean waters of the middle latitudes, and they rapidly decay after moving over land areas.

Federal prosecutors have charged two men with scheming to sell more than $1 million in bitcoins for use on Silk Road, the online emporium that allowed people to buy and sell illegal drugs anonymously.
Robert M. Faiella, 52, of Cape Coral, Florida, operated an underground Bitcoin exchange on Silk Road from 2011 to 2013, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Monday in federal court in Manhattan. Charlie Shrem, 24, of New York City, was allegedly the CEO and chief compliance officer of a Bitcoin exchange company. Together, prosecutors said, the men conspired to launder more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin transactions that flowed over Silk Road, which was shut down in October after allegedly arranging more than $1 billion in sales of heroin and other illicit substances and services to hundreds of thousands of buyers. Faiella, who allegedly operated under the username BTCKing, was arrested Monday at his home, while Shrem was apprehended on Sunday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Prosecutors said the men earned substantial profits by knowingly facilitating anonymous drug sales on Silk Road, which recognized bitcoins as the sole form of official payment. Prosecutors said Faiella used his BTCKing identity to operate a Bitcoin exchange on Silk Road. To fulfill orders, he relied on a New York-based Bitcoin exchange run by Shrem, according to court documents. The company, which Business Insider identified as BitInstant, allowed customers to exchange cash for bitcoins anonymously in exchange for a fee. Faiella allegedly fulfilled orders from Silk Road users with the assistance of Shrem's company, and then he passed along the bitcoins with a further markup.
According to court documents, Faiella advertised his services on Silk Road with promises such as "FOR THE FASTEST SERVICES place an order by getting one of our 'listings' below, include AMOUNT of Bitcoin you want .... Don't go far, our response is Very Fast." In August 2012, an undercover law enforcement agent posing as a Silk Road user placed an order with BTCKing. After depositing $500.11 into the designated account, the agent's Silk Road account was allegedly credited with $444 worth of bitcoins the same day. Two months later, the agent deposited $507.10 into a different bank account designated by BTCKing. Later that day, the agent's Silk Road account once again was credited with $444, prosecutors said.
Faiella allegedly relied on Shrem's company to allow customers to move money into exchange accounts anonymously. Customers deposited the money in person to the bank accounts of a third-party service. The company limited cash deposits to under $1,000 per customer per day to avoid disclosure requirements mandated under anti money laundering laws. As a money transmitter under federal statutes, the company was subject to anti money laundering laws that among other things required it to report substantial transactions or patterns of transactions suspected of facilitating criminal activity. Shrem allegedly never filed any such reports.
Shrem and Faiella eventually stopped working together after Shrem's company ceased accepting cash payments for bitcoins in late 2012. Faiella temporarily shut down his exchange on Silk Road, prosecutors said, but went on to resume the operation in April 2013. Shrem is listed as the vice chairman and acting CEO of BitInstant. According to Business Insider, the company is backed by the Winklevoss twins.
Each defendant is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Shrem is also charged with one count of willful failure to file a suspicious activity report. If convicted on all charges, they each face maximum sentences of more than 20 years in prison. Neither defendant has entered a plea or made a public comment on the charges. This post will be updated if that changes.

In the wake of heated debates on the nature of history, 'Why Bother With History?' considers its very purpose: why should we bother with it anyway? At a time when the subject is under threat both from political 'modernisers' and from some postmodernist theorists, Beverley Southgate argues for an increasingly important role for a revitalised historical study. Rejecting ancient and modern aspirations to a history 'for its own sake' produced by supposedly objective and attached authors, Southgate proposes rather that historians' importance lies in their own moral standpoint. Their story of the past facilitates the future we desire. Focusing on history's relationship with: Psychology Politics and Power Religion Education Postmodernity and using global examples from the ancient world to the present, this book is timely and inevitably controversial, challenging many of the assumptions of modernist history. Beverley Southgate is Reader Emeritus, University of Hertfordshire. His many publications include 'History: What and Why?' (1996).Southgate, Beverley C. is the author of 'Why Bother With History? Ancient, Modern, and Postmodern Motivations', published 2000 under ISBN 9780582423909 and ISBN 0582423902.[read more]

Rutherford Appleton Laboratory And Panasas Parallel Storage Named 2012 Public Sector Storage Project of the Year
04 Dec, 2012, 11:00 GMT
- Storage, Virtualization and Cloud Computing Awards Honor Leading Research Center in Great Britain Supported by Panasas® ActiveStor™
SUNNYVALE, California and LONDON, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasas, Inc., the leader in high performance parallel storage for technical computing applications and big data workloads, congratulates Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) on being named the 2012 Public Sector Storage Project of the Year at the Storage, Virtualization and Cloud Computing (SVC) Awards. RAL is one of the U.K.'s largest national scientific research laboratories and part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council, focused on weather modeling. The lab relies on Panasas ActiveStor parallel storage for scalable capacity and high performance to accelerate its data-intensive climate research.
"With nearly 8.5 petabytes of ActiveStor storage, the Panasas installation at RAL represents one of the largest multi-location, high-performance computing (HPC) storage deployments in Great Britain," said Barbara Murphy, chief marketing officer at Panasas. "ActiveStor gives RAL a solution that offers extreme scalability and simple storage management capabilities so that scientists can focus on important research, not on cumbersome system administration."
RAL deployed ActiveStor across four sites using a shared resource approach to ensure maximum performance for all researchers regardless of location. Performance and scalability were both critical selection criteria to handle the massive data sets associated with climate modeling and satellite imaging, with ActiveStor delivering twice the performance of the laboratory's legacy, direct-attached storage.
"We're pleased to share this recognition with Panasas," said Dr. Bryan Lawrence, professor of weather and climate computing at the University of Reading and director of models and data for the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). "We have significantly enhanced our research abilities with Panasas in order to deliver powerful HPC storage capabilities in an easy-to-manage platform, allowing us to focus on the research and science for which we are known."
"The SVC awards are voted for by the readers of our wide range of print and online publications," said Carly Stephens, events manager of award organizers Angel Business Communications. "All finalists did well in making the shortlist but Rutherford Appleton Laboratory supported by Panasas was the clear winner in the 'Public Sector Storage Project of the Year' category."
The SVC Awards recognize the users, manufacturers and suppliers operating in the storage, virtualization and cloud computing fields in the European market. The awards took place Nov. 22 at the Pullman St. Pancras Hotel in London. In each of the end-user project categories, awards were presented for both the user themselves and the supplier.

HOUSTON – A lapse in discipline will cost Bobby Boswell more than originally thought.
The Houston Dynamo center back was shown a red card for his headbutt on New England Revolution forward Dimitry Imbongo, who received a red as well for his part in the fracas, during a 37th-minute free kick in Saturday's 2-0 loss.
That headbutt initially cost Boswell the final 60 minutes and his team's upcoming game versus Sporting Kansas City (3:30 pm ET Sunday, NBCSN, live chat on MLSsoccer.com).
But the MLS Disciplinary Committee has apparently added an extra game, according to Boswell, meaning he must spend two games off the pitch and pay a fine for his transgression.
Houston Dynamo 0, New England Revolution 2 | MLS Match Recap
"It was a pretty dumb play on my part," Boswell told MLSsoccer.com. "You do something stupid, you're going to pay the price. If you put yourself in front of a Disciplinary Committee that usually means you've done something wrong and I'm not going to argue with that."
A formal announcement on a suspension is expected from Major League Soccer later Tuesday or Wednesday.
The suspension means Boswell will miss games at Sporting KC and the Columbus Crew. After that, the Dynamo's next game is June 19 at Montreal, which means a monthlong absence from MLS play, though he could feature in Houston's US Open Cup campaign, which kicks off May 28.
READ: Brad Davis makes 250th Dynamo appearance in Saturday's loss
Boswell has steered clear of these types of incidents throughout his career. The center back has been in the league eight years and, while never shying away from a challenge and chance to nudge an opponent, has not developed a reputaiton as a dirty player. Saturday night, however, Boswell let his temper get the best of him as he and Imbongo were locked in a physical duel throughout their 37 minutes on the pitch.
On the play that cost him, Imbongo looked to deliver an elbow to Boswell and his retaliatory headbutt landed him on the Disciplinary Committee's docket.
"In hindsight I wish I would've handled it differently, but it's one of those where, if you keep taking shots, at what point do you get fed up and put a stop to it?" Boswell said. "I look at it in terms of, you've got kids watching the game and it's a bad example and it's a bad role model. I learned my lesson … I hurt the team and that's the worst thing about the whole thing."
READ: Houston disappointed with loss to Revolution: "Just a disjointed effort"
The impact of Boswell's suspension could be exacerbated by Jermaine Taylor's injury. According to head coach Dominic Kinnear, Taylor popped his shoulder out during the game. Kinnear said that Taylor wasn't day to day, but that it was not considered a long-term injury.
"We don't know yet," Kinnear said about the center back position. "We do have an idea but it's only Tuesday and the game's Sunday. Eric [Brunner] is a center back so he can play in there and the other guy we'll see. It could be Jermaine or it could be someone else."

NEA honors Arizona public interest lawyer Tim Hogan for advancing quality public education
WASHINGTON - June 23, 2011 -
Timothy Hogan, executive director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest in Phoenix, Ariz., will be honored by the National Education Association (NEA) during its annual Human and Civil Rights Awards dinner in Chicago on Friday, July 1, 2011. NEA's George I. Sánchez Award recognizes Hogan's work toward the achievement of equal opportunity for Hispanics.
"Every successful advocate for social justice must be able to inspire and educate others," said Dennis Van Roekel, NEA president. "Tim Hogan has shown that he has the patience, persistence, knowledge, and courage necessary to protect and defend the rights of under-represented people."
Hogan became director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest (ACLPI) in 1991. ACLPI is a non-profit public interest law firm that is engaged in defending the rights of under-represented people. Hogan's work has focused on increasing financial support for public schools to ensure quality education for all of Arizona's students. He has been especially focused on the rights of Hispanic students.
In 2009, Hogan successfully persuaded the Arizona Supreme Court that voucher programs violated the state's constitutional prohibition against appropriation of public money to aid private and sectarian schools.
George I. Sánchez (1906-1972) was an educator, historian, and author in the United States, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. Sánchez devoted 50 years of his life to the education of Mexican, Navajo, and Black children and is known as the "father of the movement for quality education for Mexican Americans."

Organisers: E Corrigan (Durham), MB Green (QueenMary & Westfield, London), WBR Lickorish (Cambridge)
Programme Theme
Over a number of years there has been a fruitful exchange of ideas between some areas of theoretical physics, notably gauge theory, string theory, conformal field theory, integrable field theories and statistical mechanics on the one hand and topological invariants of manifolds, knot the ory, the theory of affine algebras and loop groups, and the theory of quantum groups on the other. The purpose of this programme is to bring together workers in several fields, both mathematicians and physicists, in order that they mi ght more directly educate and stimulate each other and to encourage progress in the various topics.
