Bacterial Meningitis
Bacterial meningitis, a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection that affects the brain and spinal cord, strikes about 3,000 Americans each year. Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, incoming Texas college students and students returning after an absence of at least one fall or spring semester who are under the age of 22 must submit documentation of immunization against bacterial meningitis. Students who fail to meet this requirement by the deadline will be dropped from courses. New international students are highly encouraged to receive their vaccination in their home country in order to meet the deadline for providing document for proof of the vaccination.
Where to Receive the Bacterial Meningitis Vaccine
- The bacterial meningitis vaccine is available through Health Services for a fee of $100. An appointment is not required. Students with private insurance may be able to file a claim afterward.
- Tarrant County Public Health has a limited supply of subsidized meningitis vaccine doses intended for low-income, uninsured students. Availability varies by clinic site and demand. Please contact a clinic in your area to determine whether subsidized meningitis vaccine is available. Visit health.tarrantcounty.com for a list of public health clinics or call 817-321-4700.
- Dallas County Health and Human Services also offers subsidized meningitis vaccine to students 19 and older. Supplies are limited. For more information, please call 214-819-2162 or visit www.dallascounty.org/department/hhs/ for a list of clinics and phone numbers.
- Students should contact their primary care to determine if their office administers the vaccine and ask for pricing.

Hosted by NYU Carter School of Journalism's Business and Economic Reporting faculty, the students from London are attending classes about America's economy; the debate over growing inequality; financial regulation and the mortgage crisis. They will also meet the Editors-in-Chief of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
This is the second study trip students from City's financial journalism course have undertaken this year. In April students travelled to China, visiting Tsinghua University's Global Business Journalism department in Beijing before going to Fudan University in Shanghai. And in May City University's Journalism Department hosted students from NYU in London: they studied the euro-crisis and Britain's austerity measures, as well as visiting the Bank of England and the BBC.
In addition to funding the establishment of the study-trips, the Marjorie Deane Foundation made available travel subsidies for all students wishing to participate in either of them. It also supported NYU students visiting London.
The travel programmes are led by Professor Steve Schifferes, who is joining the students in New York and Linda Lewis, who accompanied the class to China. Professor Schifferes is Marjorie Deane Professor of Financial Journalism and course director for the MA in Financial Journalism, whilst Linda Lewis, the summer school director, has been Acting Director of Broadcasting, and programme director of City's MA in Broadcast and Television Journalism.
Professor Schifferes says: 'This new programme demonstrates the attractiveness of City's financial journalism programme to leading journalism departments around the world. It is a vital component in our educational approach which stresses the global nature of business and economic coverage, and provides valuable insights into the two key financial world financial centres to supplement our own close ties with London as a leading financial and media centre."
Linda Lewis added, "This has been an exciting opportunity to expose student to other cultures, with different approaches to the media and to business affairs. The fantastic collaboration we have established with leading journalism schools in China and New York has enabled students to combine the best of academic teaching with practical experience in both these centres."
Steve Solomon, NYU's Marjorie Deane professor and the director of the Business and Economic Reporting programme, commenting on the experience of NYU students at City, said: "Many thanks for all your meticulous planning and for your warm hospitality. It was indeed a great week of learning (and fun) for the students. I know from talking with them that the visit was very successful."]]>
"When I was 13 my father bought me a subscription to The Economist and told me that he had learned more from reading it over the years than he had from the schooling he endured over the years. Nine years later, I can say that I owe my education to The Economist too.
"Thanks to the generosity of the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation's studentship, the advert for which I saw in the back pages of The Economist, I was able to take up a place to study for a Master's degree in economics at Oxford University. I have now started my course and am greatly enjoying having the opportunity to learn more about how economists try to model our financial and monetary systems. I hope to one day play a role in communicating these ideas, and am incredibly grateful to the foundation for having allowed me to continue my education."
Stephen is the founder and director of the MA programme in Business and Economic Reporting at the university. An innovative, interdisciplinary approach to teaching journalism, the programme requires students to take six courses at NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and seven courses at the Carter Journalism Institute.
Stephen is a recipient of NYU's Golden Dozen Award for excellence in teaching. He was a writer at Fortune magazine and has also written for many other national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Magazine and The New Republic. His articles have won the two most prestigious awards for business writing, the Gerald Loeb Award and the John Hancock Award for Excellence.
The gift provided by the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation will be used to help students wishing to pursue a career in financial journalism pay for tuition and living costs. It will also finance stipends for students to spend a week each year studying at City University in London, where they will take intensive seminars on the financial systems of the European Union. The Carter Journalism Institute will also host an annual Marjorie Deane lecture.
"This generous gift from the Deane Foundation will be a tremendous asset in helping to prepare our students for careers in business journalism," said Michael Laver, New York University's dean for the social sciences. "As our economy becomes increasingly globalised, developing an understanding of financial systems abroad is vital to any training in the journalism field."
"Marjorie Deane was passionately interested in journalism and American finance—and she loved New York," said John Micklethwait, the editor-in-chief of The Economist and a trustee of the foundation. "She would have been thrilled that the foundation that she set up has now appointed Stephen Solomon as the first Marjorie Deane Professor of Financial Journalism at New York University. All the trustees are very confident that he will build on the success that the foundation has already had in encouraging people to learn more about financial journalism in Britain."]]>
"My first journalism experience was at the business desk of the Guardian. After spending some time in America, I was awarded an internship at The Economist during my Master's course in economic and social history at Oxford University. I am incredibly grateful to the foundation for offering me this fantastic opportunity."]]>
After his foundation-sponsored internship, Jason spent more than 10 years at The Economist Group, first at CFO Europe magazine and later at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
In an interview about his new role he said that he will have "free rein to embrace my inner stat geek and use numbers and data to explain the business world in an accessible way."]]>
The awards are designed for promising journalists or would-be journalists who would benefit from up to six months work experience at the FT, researching and writing about finance and economics. The prize includes a bursary.
Please apply with a short letter explaining your interest, a brief CV and an original article, no longer than 500 words, on a suitable subject.
Applications should be sent to email@example.com by August 9th, 2013]]>
Creighton, who works as Economics Correspondent for The Australian, was chosen as the winner in The Economy category, based on a series of articles he wrote for The Weekend Australian.
Click here for the official announcement, and here to read Creighton's award-winning stories.]]>
The Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation aims to promote the understanding of financial markets and institutions, and in particular to foster excellence in financial journalism. Preference will therefore be given to applicants who can write well and who will produce a piece of research (probably based on their dissertation) that is suitable for publication. We aim to give preference to people who wish to pursue a career in financial journalism. For details about our studentship alumni, click here.
Candidates should send a CV, a proposed research topic and proof of entry to a Master's degree programme to email@example.com.
Studentships are open to all, regardless of age, sex. etc.
The deadline for applications is Friday, May 17th 2013]]>
I applied for the foundation studentship frantically in the summer of 2011. I held a place on the MSc Economics for Development at Oxford starting just a few months ahead but had very little funding and had no real idea where I was going to find the rest of the money I needed. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this studentship, and with the incredible generosity of the foundation was able to continue my studies. Those studies have in turn led to my current year as a Special Student at Harvard, and will hopefully lead to the DPhil in Economics back at Oxford next year.
My interest is in development economics. Although I could be studying for a while longer yet, my desire is to report on economic and financial policies in developing countries one day. To this end, I am currently enrolled in writing courses at the Kennedy School of Government. Without the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation, the path of postgraduate study would have been closed for me, and I would have been rushed into the real world without the skills I am now learning, ill-equipped to succeed in economic and financial journalism. I cannot express enough my thanks to the foundation.
"The Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation helped me take my first steps into the world of journalism, something I had hankered for after several years working in the City of London. It supported me through my Master's in Financial Journalism at City University, London, giving me the time and freedom to make the most of the course.
It was a privilege to be associated with the foundation, and the skills, contacts and experience I acquired as a result saw me land a job at Bloomberg in London covering the world's billionaires. Thanks Marjorie!"]]>

Make Room for Daddy
Daughter Dearest
Dear Daughter:
Not wanting to take care of a perfectly capable adult male doesn't make you a monster--it makes you not a martyr. If you can pull it off, try making a joke of it. Say something like: "Dad, there'll be plenty of time for me to take care of you when you're old and feeble; you wouldn't want to wear me out before you really need me." Then offer to find him a good cleaning service.
If he's talking about moving, then he's ready for some kind of change. It may be time for your dad to get back into circulation. I took an extremely casual poll of the single women I know (OK, I asked two), and they unanimously declared that the man they would most like to date is a widower. The theory is that he's proven himself free of the dread commitment phobia, he wouldn't be warped by divorce-induced bitterness, and, most importantly, he'd be housebroken. (Although your dad, with his reluctance to perform even the simplest domestic tasks, may still require some paper training.)
Make a list of every wishes-she-weren't single woman you know. Eliminate the ones you'd rather eat glass than have in your family, then invite the rest of them to meet Dad. You could be painfully obvious about it and have them over to dinner one at a time, but a big party (including lots of couples) would give him and the ladies a chance to check each other out more casually, without the pressure of having to make conversation for a full evening. Chances are very good at least one of the ladies will follow up with a dinner invite, and who knows? You may be seeing less of dear old dad than you want.
People often ask me where I get the time to read all the books I read, and the answer is: waiting for them to show up for appointments. I have burned through entire libraries while waiting for my tardy pals to show up for lunch, movies, or concerts. I know that I will never change an entire society's inability to calculate time (or inability to respect mine), but I need to know how to deal with this. How long do I wait for someone before it is appropriate to leave? Fifteen minutes? Twenty?
On Time
Dear On Time:
Marilyn Monroe once said "I've been on a calendar, but never on time." Clever quip--bet she didn't think it was so damn funny when she was waiting for Bobby or Jack to call. Unfortunately, many people feel about punctuality the way they feel about their turn signal--they're aware of it but feel it's just not right for them.
With old friends, the easiest thing is just to familiarize yourself with their patterns and try to relax. Or try being late yourself a few times to see if anyone notices. (I've done that with one perennially late pal of mine, but he's still never gotten there first.) Or, if you're willing to risk a fight in order to try to change things, warn them in advance that you won't wait, and, if they're still late, leave. When meeting new friends, I always ask if they tend to be late or early so I'll know what to expect.
The actual official acceptable waiting period is 20 minutes, but I'd push it to a half-hour if I'm comfortable inside with a drink and pull it back to 15 minutes if I'm outside, in a bad mood, or don't really want to be there in the first place. Then, if there's a next time, I'm definitely more casual about when I show up.

Good Food, Good Agriculture, Real Change!
17 Sep 12
On September 19, Slow Food and ARC2020 – a platform of over 150 EU civil society networks and organisations - will present the European Parliament with requests for a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that supports family farms, reinvests public money into public goods and rejects food speculation.
The current CAP, The EU's system of agricultural subsidies and programmes, represents the largest single spending of the EU: about 43% of the total expense, or 55 billion euros per year. These investments, however, have not always had a positive impact: 80% of EU contributions are directed towards just 20% of farmers, and 70% of plant and animal biodiversity has been irreversibly lost. An estimated 250 million people—50% of the whole European population—are overweight, while 42 million are facing malnutrition due to poverty. Furthermore, 90 million tons of food, or 180 kg per person, are thrown away each year.
The direction of the European food and agricultural policy until 2020 is currently being discussed in Brussels. For the first time in its 50-year history, the future of the CAP will be co-decided by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. The new involvement of the Parliament gives civil society a real chance to make its voice heard.
At the conference on Wednesday, President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, will be joined by Dacian Cioloş, European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development; Carlo Petrini, President of Slow Food International; and representatives of other key European civil society organizations who are involved in the CAP reform debate.
"It is necessary to return dignity to farming" said Petrini. "At the moment only 11 million people are working in agriculture, less than 5% of the European population. It is an issue that is crucial to the food security of 27 countries and a question that cannot be left in the hands of a few multinational corporations. The CAP needs to change if we want agriculture to be a viable option for young people, an economic driver for rural communities and an element of safeguard for landscapes and the environment."
Participants of the Good Food March - farmers, citizens, young people and 100 organizations from 19 countries who journeyed from Munich to Brussels - will also be taking part in the conference, and will have an opportunity to pose their questions to their MEPs. "The Good Food March has seen people from all ages and backgrounds come together from the north, south, east and west of Europe to define the tradition, heritage and future of food and farming in Europe," said Stephanie Roth, Campaign Coordinator at ARC2020. "It has shown the spirit of people from villages and cities across Europe, embraced the diversity of our food culture and demonstrated the vitality of our countryside. At the same time it has sent a strong and unified message to decision makers as they debate and decide over the future of the CAP. We must bring democracy back to the CAP."

Sarcosuchus imperator was a prehistoric species of crocodile which lived around 110 million years ago. Recent fossilised remains found in the Sahara Desert suggest that this creature took around 50-60 years to grow to its full length of around 11-12 metres (37-40 ft) and its maximum weight of around 8 tonnes.
Paeleontologists studying the remains theorise that the creature was able to conceal most of its bulk underwater whilst stalking prey, due to its upward-tilting eyes. There are several species of giant prehistoric crocodile and, while the latest specimen of Sarcosuchus imperator is the largest ever found, it is still impossible to say which of the prehistoric species was actually the largest. The crocodile family as a whole is 225 million years old.

Arsonists target Cornish housing developments
Police suspect Cornish separatists are behind three arson attacks on housing development sites in Truro and Penryn during the last week, the Cornishman reports. On 29 August, a show home on a Wainhomes estate in Penryn was attacked, followed over the next two days by incidents at a Cornish Homes portable cabin in Malpas and a …
I thought the CNLA was a joke to start with
tho i still think its a joke now..
We are all part of the same bloody country, what do they want us to be split up like the US into different states?
people are buying up 2nd homes as rental property all over the bloody shop, not just limited to holiday homes in cornwall..
Let 'em have it
Seriously, have you been there? I say let them have their little stink-hole.
Any group of people who can refer to their daily bread and butter as emmits (I was told this was a parasite) deserve to have absolutely no-one go there for at least a year.
We'll see how they feel when there's no money coming in from tourists.
Hey cornish: we might be 'emmits', but you're ingrates.
Nice one Lester...
No chance of "where's the IT angle here", as you managed to mention "Penryn" several times in the article. Personally, I'd suggest water cooling or a larger Heatsink with a 120mm fan, if they're having thermal issues with Penryn. They didn't mention whether it had been overclocked at the time, but I doubt it was... Cornwall isn't exactly known for trying to do things particularly fast.
They're Terrorist...
... so treat them as such.
Time to start profiling people with Cornish
accents at airports then? Or is that just
for Muslims?
An IT angle and a social one as well
The IT angle is that the good folks of Cornwall could get jobs working remotely and then they might be able to afford the sky high prices that bloody incomers are paying for houses. But of course big blue chip companies want big plush HQs in London and stuff the tech that allows distance working (not so glamourous).
As someone who had to leave my village in the north of Scotland becuase of the incomers pricing the locals out their own town I can fully understand the actions of the CNLA.
Beware ...
... of the "Ooh Arr Eyy" LOL
Let's build a wall ...
..all the way up the Devon side of the Tamar and let the Cornish go their own way.
@Let 'em have it.
Cornish revenue streams?
Retirement industry, farming, clay mining (until recently.), and Industrial sites in St Austell, Penzance and Camborne. Fishing and ship building are a bit of a sore point these days... Just because Newquay depends on tourists (And needs nuking) doesn't set the tone for the rest of the county.
FYI "Emit" means "Ant". (Holiday Makers, like ants get everywhere.) Most holiday makers are pretty good, it's the 30% that are chavs for whom everything's a target that's the problem. We've had three cars vandalised by chavs on their way back to the local campsite, as well as graffiti, asaults, broken windows... and that's just my household.
Second homers? Again most are as good as gold, but I've seen one threaten a traffic warden who'd given him five minutes to shift his SUV!
Oo-Ar-Ay should be put straight on who the enemy is, and kitted out with SA-80's[1]
Then, they are welcome to "Let em have it."
[1] Yeah Yeah I know, but you've got to give these emits some sort of chance.
Re: Sir Runcible Spoon
I sincerely hope you never stray over the border again, after that remark about a "little stink hole", you smug, ignorant git.
Try living in the poorest part of the UK through a damp Atlantic winter, on a minimum wage job, in rented accomodation, waiting for the fat ba$tards from the home counties to arrive at their holiday homes each spring, driving their Chelsea tractors to the beach while looking for a place to buy as an investment.
If you did, you'd know that although the wages might be better in the summer, when it's possible to work much longer hours serving the needs of the spoilt middle class to$$ers who come down each year from Kensington or Surrey, there's only a limited amount of satisfaction to be had from spitting into the froth on their cappucinos, or scratching the paintwork on their X5s.
None of us like the way the housing market is (i.e. that i cant get on it) which is due to rising prices, and stoked in cornwall by second homers no doubt.
But since there is little or no tin left, only a small pastie industry and its not on the way anywhere, tourism is pretty much their only revenue.
So if you want to get rid of the tourists with fear of terrorism and drive out the second homers who contribute too, then it will be a very very poor separate country.
If they did separate, and then we realised there was oil there, maybe the parts of the US that dont support the CNLA could invade ... now that would be fun!
Is Cornish for ants.
So you're not a parasite - just a hard-working, asexual automaton.
Feel better now?
Cornish Separatists
I mean seriously, it's not going to make the house prices go down if you fire bomb all of those around you who aren't proper, pukker Cornish. We all have to deal with stupidly high house prices all over the country, especially in the south east and small farming communities.
What will happen though, if you persist is that you'll drive a wedge between people in your society and kill off the tourism, which will leave Cornwall more dependant on handouts from the government and generally fucked.
They brought it on themselves...
If it wasn't for greedy locals selling houses to outsiders, there'd be no housing price problem in any of the tourist areas that bleat on about it - Cornwall, lake district or wherever.
You can just imagine the scene at the estate agents:
Cornish Local: "Both my parents are now dead, they left me their house so I'd like to sell it please"
Estate Agent: "OK, how much do you want to put it on the market for?"
Cornish Local: "How much is it worth?"
Estate Agent: "Well, there's this bloke in London who wants it for a holiday home, he'll pay you £300,000"
Cornish Local: "Blimey, my mum and dad only paid £500 for it, but I suppose that was a long time ago. Hang on though, seems a bit of a waste the place only being used for weekends. Are there any local people looking for houses?"
Estate Agent: "Oh yes, there's a lovely young couple, just got married, looking to move into a place of their own. Both of them are Cornish, work and live locally"
Cornish Local: "Awww, that's nice. How much are they looking to spend?"
Estate Agent: "Well, he's a mechanic at the local garage and his wife's a teaching assistant. They can afford about £100,000"
Cornish Local: "Sod them then, I'll take the £300,000 from the stupid emmit, pay off my mortgage and buy a speedboat."
Nobody is forcing Locals to sell houses to outsiders, they are choosing to do so because they get more money that way.
IT angle
It will come out in later reports that the fire was really caused by agitated Gateway and Lenovo insurgents throwing combustible Dell laptops through the window.
Haven't we been here before?
Once again, American citizens are funding a terrorist insurgency on British soil. I wonder if their judiciary will shield fugitives from justuce this time 'round..
Are we really allies in the 'war on terror'?
To the Voice Of Reason
I'd like to watch you spout that particular line of cobblers in the public bar of any St.Austell drinking den.
I'd pi$$ myself watching while you got your come uppance for being as ignorant as the Runcible Spoon moron.
Separate country
If Cornwall was to be separated from the rest of the dis-United Kingdom, as a sovereign nation within the EU, and with the level of per-capita income it currently "enjoys", it would attract such a huge amount of EU financial assistance it would be able to rejuvenate itself without putting up with ignorant chav visitors getting pi$$ed en masse in Newquay, or ignorant monied second-homers arriving at weekends to have dinner at Ricks place.
Not before 9 O'Clock...
This reminds me of the great "Not The Nine O'Clock News" spoof ad which was a tie-in of the Welsh tourist board and the National Coal Board entitled "Come home to a real fire (Buy a cottage in wales)" - Dave
Why cobblers?
Vulpes Vulpes,
So how, exactly are local sellers being forced to accept more money for houses than is affordable by local buyers? Please enlighten me out of my state of ignorance.
The "the fat ba$tard from the home counties" only has a holiday home in your town because one of your Local neighbours chose to sell it to him at a vastly greater profit than if he'd sold it to another local.
If the greedy local sellers were at all bothered about keeping property in local hands, they would turn down the outsider's offers and only accept lower offers from genuine local buyers.
They've made their own bed full of ants, so they can't moan about having to lay in it.
At least you have a tourist industry to boost things in the summer. The place I grew up is a complete "stink hole" with minimum wage employment (if you're lucky) all year round. House prices are cheap enough there though if you're interested in moving somewhere you can afford to buy. :o)
So, Vulpes Vulpes, your position is that Cornwall could seperate, because it would be much better off living off EU grants than actually hvaing to have a viable economy? Sounds like an ignorant chav dole-scrounger to me. Presumably, you'll stop accepting tourists at that point (as that would be working-while-claiming).
What proportion of the population of the county are of 'celtic origin' exactly?
Just...keep taking whatever it is you're taking.
@Why Cobblers.
It's not just local individuals that sell houses in cornwall.
You've got the families of people who retired to cornwall who now want to sell dead gran's old cottage... they want top dollar pure and simple.
There are land owners who have been quietly winding up leases on properties let to locals.
And in this particular case, there have been green-field new built houses.
@Colin Jackson
... If we sent all the londoners who moved to Cornwal because they could never get a job here. (And so stay on the dole forever) back over the tamar (Or over the nearest cliff.) It'd be doing the world at large a favour.
Tourism isn't cornwall's only income and is hardly the basis of a "viable" economy. Vulpes Vulpes indicated "rejuvination"; and with EU finding Cornwall could drastically extend the industrial operations.
Challenge for Colin Jackson and the Voice or Reason
"better off living off EU grants than actually hvaing to have a viable economy"
No, using the EU grants to make a viable economy for Cornwall that doesn't have to rely on home counties twats with more money than sense.
"one of your Local neighbours chose to sell (it) to (a fat bastard) at a vastly greater profit than if he'd sold it to another local."
Yes, amazing how desperate people can get after a generation or two of economic decline isn't it, you smug tosser?
Some points
firebomb antics aside, I'd just like to make a couple of points:
1. The word "emmett" although widely used in Cornwall isn't actually Conish it's derived from the Old English:
2. What's the IT connection? Well several fibre optic cables originating overseas make landfall in the west of Cornwall. These include
RIOJA 1 & 2 UK - Belgium - Netherlands - Spain
FLAG Fibre (Optic) Link Around (the) Globe...
although it is still hard to get domestic broadband in many parts of the county. Perhaps the CNLA or whatever they call themelves should target these if they want to make their presence felt !?! (joking)
Cornwall would actually be a very good place for the IT industry to look at - good environment, low(ish) crime and workforce that has been screwed over so many times they'll work for anyone who'll offer them half decent pay and conditions.
Oh and as for EU grants, wasn't Cornawall given Objective 1 funding a few years back to help regeneration? Wonder whose pocket that ended up in? One o' they Lundun buggers, I daresay!!
St. Austell
@Vulpes Vulpes: Quite why he'd venture into aforementioned drinking den is beyond me. Aside from the fact you only have two now that you lack a town centre, Truro is clearly superior. Skinners ftw :D
Er, lol.
"If Cornwall was to be separated from the rest of the dis-United Kingdom, as a sovereign nation within the EU, and with the level of per-capita income it currently "enjoys", it would attract such a huge amount of EU financial assistance it would be able to rejuvenate itself without putting up with ignorant chav visitors getting pi$$ed en masse in Newquay, or ignorant monied second-homers arriving at weekends to have dinner at Ricks place."
So you're a bunch of lazy scroungers then? Much like the very chavs that you're complaining about?
Perhaps a better option is that we allow Cornwall to separate from the UK and block it joining the EU so that they have no choice but to get off their lazy arses, create their own viable business and learn to look after themselves for once just like, you know, many other parts of the UK have such as Yorkshire after the mining collapse (look at how impressive Leeds and Sheffield is nowadays...), or Glasgow, another fantastic success now.
Trying to drive away the "incomers"
Is that referring to people with an income ?
To the anonymous idiot posting "Er, lol":
One word.
Have you ever tried GETTING to most of Cornwall?
And don't you DARE say the Cornish are lazy; other posters have already said there's a "workforce that has been screwed over so many times they'll work for anyone who'll offer them half decent pay and conditions."
I said nothing about scrounging, you arrogant toerag, I talked about making a viable economy for Cornwall that doesn't have to rely on visiting home counties twats with more money than sense.
And finally, your very language gives the game away when you say "Perhaps a better option is that we allow Cornwall to separate".
Your use of "we" and "allow" says it all.
Stay away, your type are not welcome.
What, summer people?
So, being American, I figured that Cornwall was still all about:
1. Tin Mines
2. Pasties
...and not much else.
From reading the other comments though, it seems that it is now some kind of hot vacation destination, much to the chagrin of locals who didn't own a house there when prices started going up. So, the natural response is for the disaffected to set fire to things under the banner of National Liberation.
Setting aside for the moment the question of when, exactly, the last time Cornwall or Brittany were "nations", I must thank my lucky stars that when similar housing inflation occured in my part of the states, our first reaction wasn't "get the bastards!"
Sure, people gripe about every doctor from New Jersey needing a summer cottage on Narragansett Bay now, but the Right Thing to Do is never, ever, to key his Mercedes.
Look at it this way-you vandalize his car, set fire to his house, and go to jail. He's out money, might move away, might not. You are doing five to ten for arson and struggling not to be cornholed in the shower by the chollos.
Are nights of forcible sodomy really worth the satisfaction of seeing someone else's life made temporarily miserable?
Let's look at it another way-these people are showing up in your neighborhood. Accept that they are going to be here; and that they have way too much money. The proper response is to sell them goods and services they don't need at an extortionate rate, during the time they are on vacation, and use their money to buy your own house. That way, you get a house, they get soaked, and in November you can drop your prices so as not to offend your neighbors.
This has worked pretty well in New England. There's never been a need for a Cape Cod Liberation Army, or the Armed Brotherhood of Lake Winnipesaukee, or Al-Qaida-in-Nantucket. We just charge the summer people $6.00 for ice cream cones in July. Why can't that work in Cornwall?
@Er lol...
okeedokee, we'll be having our fishing waters back.
The CR(a)P regeneration company could f*ck off back up country and let crofty get on with it.
It's is admittedly a shame that the Oo Arr Ey nobbled a brewery, since cornish beer's a darnsite better than that piss that comes out of liverpool.
Oh... and there'll be no transatlantic fibre for _you_.
The argument seems to be that cornwall's only income is from the tourist industry, and that simply isn't true.
Spelling lesson for the non-celts
It's Emmets you mis-spelt fools
This is too funny...
Charge the summer ppl 6 bucks a cone and youll get your own house soon enough!!!
For once the yank has a point.
@What, summer people
There's far more to Cornwall than tin mines and pasties and the holiday industry.
I don't think there's any support in this discussion for the criminal antics being comitted. But there are some twats claiming that cornwall as an area is full inbred, unskilled, lazy scroungers. (Admittedly we've a few, and they all came from london to avoid getting jobs.) There are also a number of cornish I.T. types suggesting that said twats present themselves in Truro and argue their case.
Hello, hello...
Hello, hello. What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here.
This is a local shop[1], for local people!

Nothing quite like fighting the inevitable. Kinda like the dutch girl with her finger in the dyke... er... ooops!
Recent experience
Ignoring the usual flaming, yokel jibes etc...
I grew up in Cornwall, moved away to study, trained in IT, got some experience and have just moved back as a programming contractor at 30. Have sold a good sized house in Bristol to find even with my solicitor partner I really do have to get my work from Bristol or Hampshire or Reading or etc. for us to be able to afford a house in Cornwall that isn't:
- mundic (dodgy arsenic-based brickwork from the 30s that crumbles in the rain)
- 150 years old and of iffy upkeep (enough to put off a mortgage lender)
- in need of hefty renovation
- a bedsit
It's taken us 3 months of house offers and survey discoveries before we found something solid. I'm lucky in that I can drive 200 miles to get work to bring back home. How are those working locally going to afford it? With that and severe regional variance (Truro and St Ives are hideously expensive - way out of our range) you'll one day end up with towns of empty second homes and others full of locals, unless a pile of cheap housing is built to help out...
...which is why burning them is idiotic - although those new Wainhomes developments are priced for out-of-county wages (again, we couldn't afford anything there above a 1-bed flat), a good proportion are forced to be 'affordable housing' which are a good thing for the locals.
Send the separatists to London to campaign for tax on 2nd homes: I understand their motivation, but they're provoking despair down here amongst those they're trying to fight for.
To Michael
Hey, Michael, great flame! Such originality.
As you have stooped to personal insults, here're a few facts to chew over:
I left the SW 30 years ago to look for work.
I'm working in London making more cash than you can imagine fleecing the morons who come through my doors every day.
I'm afraid I see them coming, and boy do they pay for it.
Most years my wife and I holiday in California.
So don't give me any crap about getting off my arse or competing with the rest of the British.
Most of my relatives and peers from school days, who still live in Cornwall, worry that their children will leave the county to find work elsewhere, as their prospects in their home county remain poor.
They deserve better, and they certainly deserve better than the sort of scum who post in here with sneering comments like yours.
Expensive Everywhere
Why is it I read Vulpes Vulpes comments and I get the mental image of a cloth capped old man waving his walking stick angrily in the air shouting toerag's at the local kids ? =D (And no thats not a Cornish stereotype, we have cloth capped old gents in Hampshire & Surrey as well.)
Sadly everywhere is expensive right now. Ridiculously so. In fact my wife and I are expecting our first child and are looking for a three bedroom house around the Guildford area. (As its convenient for the UK equivalent of Silicon Valley, and London.) We've pretty much given up on buying as prices keep increasing, and renting has shot up in the last 12 months along by 20% and will continue to do so.
Its gotten to the point that low income wage earners in our area are at the point that they can't afford to rent or buy as you need to be a mid to large sized Company Director, or IT Contractor to be able to afford a place to live. In fact it has me seriously considering chucking in my new permanent job and going back to contracting just to be able to afford to live here.
So quit whining about poor old Cornwall. Whine about poor old Blighty in general and demand the Government do something about the housing price crisis for all of the UK.
As for Cornish terrorists....tbh I thought they were joke as well to begin with. And I still smile at the thought of the Ooh Arr Eyy. Sorry but Cornish Terrorists are never going to be taken seriously in my book lol
Vulpes Vulpes....
Fear not, my good man - I sympathise with your plight, and it just so happens that I bought my tiny violin with me so I can properly express these feelings...
However, you may want to check a few things out before you go about advocating separatism...
"If Cornwall was to be separated from the rest of the dis-United Kingdom [...] it would attract such a huge amount of EU financial assistance..."
Erm... this is assuming you would be granted entry to the EU... Despite attempts at enlargement the EU still demands that new member states bring something to the table other than pasties and a sailor-threateningly bad tempter. Be careful what you wish for!
And another point - tourism is a perfectly viable basis for a sound economy, but like everything it has to be worked at; Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Seychelles.
It's not just the expense
Dan: "So quit whining about poor old Cornwall"
I take your point that it's not just Cornwall that suffers, but I would like to explain the depth of feeling here by pointing you at the recent news that in a recent survey of UK house prices versus local salaries, the Truro area suffered the worst with average prices being 10.3x the local salary average, followed by a number of other Cornish areas in the top 10.
It's not just expense that's the issue, it's also the ability of employees in the region to pay for them.
re: it's not just the expense
So taking worst-case scenario Truro with house prices being 10.3x the average salary...
If Cornish people weren't so funny-looking and abrasive to non-Cornish people then the solution would be simple; marriage. Then the average hosue price becomes 5.15x the average household income, which isn't at all bad! Then you're in the same boat as the rest of us; get a house slightly worse than your salary should be able to afford and wait for a windfall when your relatives die/get killed by angry descendants of sailors bent on revenge...
Technical Assistance
Sorry to deviate from the general bitching but I'm still laughing about them getting [the technical assistance of "a member of the Free Wales Army who were responsible for the burning of English holiday homes"]
"See now boyo - rub them there sticks together and what you got? 'fi-er'"
PS I live in the north of england and our house prices locally are over 9x my salary, Wish we had rich tourists to fleece ;0)
Grow up
Power to the pasties!!
rob them blind
I can't see all this messing around burning things do what we do in the states steal all the lumber and other building supplies right off the homes plumbing wiring anything that way you can make some money and they either sell whats left or buy the stuff back from you. If that gets too dangerous then burn them (with the rich bastards inside) also rob them and take their credit cards and their women if they aren't too ugly.

The weather could not have been more beautiful for the annual Sherring Gold Ladies Open at Deer Park on Monday.
Over 80 women took part in the tournament that contained a Championship flight all the way through to a fifth flight; a participation number that, according to tournament chairperson Wendy Boyle, is impressive. "Having 83 golfers is a good year because we've been down in the 60s on some years," offered Boyle, adding that the best she has seen was in the low 90s, before the 2010 flood.
Boyle then mentioned that this tournament is also on the Order of Merit Tour and that because of that, Deer Park routinely sees some of the top female golfers the province has to offer. "It is on the Order of Merit Tour which means that we get low handicappers that want to gain points towards those standings by competing here," said Boyle, continuing, "We see some of the best female golfers in Saskatchewan here because if they win they get more points toward the Order of Merit Tour and at the end whoever has the highest point total is provincial champion."
In fact, players from all across the province flock to Yorkton for the annual tournament. Golfers from as far away as North Battleford and even Manitoba make the trek to Yorkton to take part in what has become a staple in the golfing community.
But while every female golfer from Saskatchewan was vying for first place in order to climb the standings in the Order of Merit Tour in the hopes of becoming Saskatchewan Provincial champion, it was a woman from out of province that took home the title.
Joan Miller, a 55-year-old resident of Russell, Manitoba, cleaned house at Deer Park on Monday finishing with a +12 (84), three shots ahead of her nearest competition Karen Mario and four shots ahead of third place Denise Klotz.
However victory at Deer Park is nothing new to the Manitoban. Miller has actually won the tournament several times, but has not competed recently due to other commitments. "I've golfed in this tournament lots before but these last few years, with work and kids and because it's on a Monday I couldn't get here," offered the tournament champion Miller, who shot a pair of birdies on the back nine, one each on the 13th and 16th holes, to solidify her spot atop the leaderboard. "But this year I just took holidays to come and golf because I love the course and it's just a great place."
Championship flight: Joan Miller +12 (84), Karen Mario +15 (87), Denise Klotz +16 (88). First Flight: Bev Bielinski +27 (99), Brenda Haacke +28 (100), Lorinda Lemond +28 (100). Second flight: Caroline Ruehlen +32 (104), Sylvia Pattison +32 (104), Kim Boreen +32 (104). Third flight: Val Bailey +38 (110), Debbie Knourek +38 (110), Helene Buckle +38 (110). Fourth flight: Vickey Kohnen +47 (119), Arlene Nussbaumer +47 (119), Gillian Potter +47 (119). Fifth flight: Gwen Keith +58 (130), Josei Arsenault +59 (131), Radell Audette +61 (133).

text: Several times already I have lost wifi connectivity. It is enabled but it does not see any network at all. The times it has happened, I've had been running deprimed. I am not sure if it is this kernel, or the hardware. I solve it by flashing a previous backup that has the stock kernel, and wifi comes back just fine. This makes me think it is not a hardware issue. Before doing this, I re-flashed the 7.0.3 update file, which brought back the stock kernel, but wifi was still bad (I did deprime and reboot before this, which also did not fix wifi, so it is not a voltage issue then?). The only thing that fixes this is flashing a previous backup. I still do not know if this would happen with the stock kernel. I think I am going to have to use if for a few days to see. Does somebody have any idea on why this is happening? Kernel issue? ROM issue? Thanks (OG Droid / CM7)

Goddess of the Rose (2006)
by P. C. Cast
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I wasn't as into this storyline as much as some of the previous books in this Goddess series, but it was still pretty good. It gets off to a good start in which Mikki, a young single woman looking for love inadvertently finds herself in this other "world" in which she is a high priestess for the goddess Hecate and must tend these amazing roses. The guardian of the Realm of Roses is a man-beast like the Minotaur only he's kind of sexy and she is attracted to him for she had been dreaming of him before she came to this world. Sounds bizarre, but it works... kind of. Still, I was a bit bored with all the roses, roses, roses talk, but overall not bad.
very slow reading for me. the story did not seem to flow, but stuttered along. the gods were also wrong Nix was goddess of the night. I didn't really like any of the characters either. mikki was very much better than everyone, the guardian was so poor me poor me, and it was very clear from their flat characters the elements weren't important at all.
A nice uncomplicated young adult fantasy. This book is a mix of beauty and the beast and greek mythology. Lots of romance and roses.
I absolutely love this version of Beauty and the Beast. It is probably one of my favorites simply because of the ending when she chooses to stay with the Guardian in the Realm of the Rose where he will be the half man, half beast she fell in love with. Despite having the choice of having him return to modern day, in the form of a very handsome man, she chooses to stay with him, and accepts him for who he is.
My problem with the original tale of Beauty and the Beast has always been that he turned back into a handsome prince. I always wondered why he had to and how she could have accepted it when that wasn't the one she fell in love with.
I also like how Miki, named after a beautiful Mikado rose, chose to sacrifice her instead of making the man she fell in love with do it, proving that some men are worth dying for in order to save them.
This steamy romance novel combines the classic fairy tale, with a new sort of danger and a small dose of gardening knowledge. It speaks of forgiveness and acceptance and despite the classic happily ever after it had a wondrous twist that would have any reader clapping their hands in a giddy delight.
What I Loved
Series But An Independent Novel
This is a re-read for me, I love these books so much. What I love the most about these books is they have the same theme, modern woman is needed to help a Greek mythological character god, goddess, event etc. The books are all connected in that aspect but they are their own individual story in one novel, no having to wait years to find out if the pair of lovers ends up together. I love the individual novels at times, it is a nice break from all the long series that you are waiting for to be finished.
A modern version of Beauty and the Beast, but with the Greek goddess Hecate, a modern woman and the fearsome minotaur all rolled into one amazing romantic tale. Oh and you can't forget all the lovely roses and beautiful dreams that pay a major part in the story.
Mikado Empousai aka Mikki (Beauty): All the Goddess Summoning series have the same theme for the female characters 30ish age females that have had experience and knowledge to help them with their trials that they have to face through the story. Mikki is a great character, she isn't physically strong, but mentally she is very capable, loving and caring.
The Guardian aka the Minotaur aka Asterius (Beast): What to say about him, he is the beast. A fearsome creature to behold, but with a need and desire to be loved by someone. Throughout the book you feel so much sorry for this poor beast, you learn about his ever neglected sad life and you just want to be the one to love him. But he also presents this raw animal strength that Mikki is completely drawn to.
The book does get a bit hot and steamy with the pair.
What I Didn't Like
There is nothing I dodn't like in this book. I completely adore this story, this version of Beauty and the Beast.
Every romantic reader, fantasy addict and retold fairy tale lover has got to read this tale. Even though it is part of the Goddess Summoning series, it is a complete stand alone book. The rest of the series doesn't need to be read before this book. This is the way with all of the books, some of the books will connect a little more but not much. The only connection this book made to any other the other books is that it makes a reference to the pastry shop owned by the the character in The Goddess of Spring.

UNMC nursing students make blankets for children
University of Nebraska Medical Center students are making fleece blankets for kids needing a little comfort.
The nursing students hugged each of the 75 blankets they made as a way to send love to each to of the children.
"We're very fortunate, and we know that not everyone is in the position to have blankets or homes or just their own stuff to hug and love," said nursing student Jessica Blake.
The blanks go to Project Linus, which has given more than 41,000 blankets to children.

Associated Press
MADRID (AP) -- An explosion in a power supply unit outside the soccer stadium in Mallorca injured three people, jeopardizing Friday's World Cup qualifier between Spain and Belarus.
Spain's federation said Thursday two people are seriously injured. Spokesman Jorge Carretero tells the Associated Press the three men were working on the power unit in the stadium parking lot when the explosion happened. He thinks the damaged unit can be replaced in time for the game.
Spain goes into the match on the Mediterranean island even on points with France at the top of their group, but has a game in hand. Belarus is in last place.
