Joyce Carol Oates on Stephen King
On April 16, 1997, Joyce Carol Oates introduced Stephen King on the occasion of his first reading at Princeton University
It's my pleasure, and an honor, to be introducing Stephen King on his first visit to Princeton.
It's commonly said that certain individuals, notably the famous, need no introductions. On the contrary, I think, it's precisely those whom we imagine we know, in broad stereotypical terms, who require introductions.
There are: Stephen King the individual, Stephen King the literary/cultural phenomenon, and Stephen King the writer.
Stephen was born in 1947 in Portland, Maine, was raised in Maine and has lived most of his life there. His fiction is famously saturated with the atmosphere of Maine; much of his mostly vividly imagined work—
Salem's Lot, Dolores Claiborne
, the elegantly composed story "The Reach", for instance—is a poetic evocation of that landscape, its history and its inhabitants. Clearly, this is "setting" as a spiritual value. Stephen graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, where, among other subjects, he studied creative writing. He met his wife, Tabitha, as an undergraduate; they married in 1971, and have raised three children now in their twenties. Always an energetic and hopeful young writer, Stephen had written more than 60 stories and several novels before his first work was accepted for publication—
, in 1973. At the time he was working in a laundry (See "The Mangler") for $1.60 an hour. ...Since then, Stephen's hourly wages have risen considerably.
In his richly informative study of the horror genre in America,
Danse Macabre
(1980), Stephen King isolates an hour in 1957 when, as he sat in an audience of excited young people in a movie house showing "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers," the film was interrupted and the house manager made an announcement that the Russians had put a space satellite in orbit around the earth, called Sputnik. "We sat there," King says, "in absolute tomblike silence." This sudden terrifying intrusion of a world of adult political drama and potential doom, in the midst of science-fiction fantasy, made a powerful impression upon the 10-year-old Stephen King.
To speak of Stephen King the literary/cultural phenomenon is to evoke remarkable statistics. King is, for instance, the best-selling writer on earth. (As for Jupiter, Saturn, distant constellations—who knows?) As of 1996, he has sold more than 200 million books in the US and an additional 50 million abroad (with more to come: his 44th book,
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
is forthcoming this year). Uncommon as it is for most writers to have bestsellers, it isn't uncommon for Stephen King to have two books on bestseller lists simultaneously—hardcover and paperback; last season, Stephen outdid even himself with three books on bestseller lists simultaneously. He has published more than 30 novels including such famous titles as
(a Gothic tale of familial and societal revenge),
The Shining
(a tale of demonic possession, to be a TV mini-series soon with a screenplay by Stephen King),
(a distinctly American-adolescent tale of a demonic female—a 1958 Plymouth called "Christine");
Pet Cemetary; Misery; The Dark Half
(a mordant exploration of the intimate relationship between a literary writer and his bestselling "horror" pseudonym); the epic
The Stand
; the story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" from which the memorable film was adapted; the tour de force of first-person narration,
Dolores Claiborne; Rose Madder
and many more. Last fall, Stephen King published the highly successful 6-part serial
The Green Mile
, as well as twinned novels by himself and his pseudonym Richard Bachman,
The Regulators
, which share characters and reflect each other thematically. In addition, Stephen has published five collections of short stories including the massive
Nightmares & Dreamscapes
as well as screenplays and assorted prose.
Stephen King's fiction has been reproduced widely, in such volumes as
The Years's Best Fantasy and Horror
American Gothic Tales
, and he has been several times a recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for fiction, the most distinguished award in the Gothic/horror field. His story "The Man in the Black Suit" was first-prize winner in the O. Henry Awards anthology in 1995.
Like all great writers of Gothic horror, Stephen King is both a storyteller and an inventor of startling images and metaphors, which linger long in the memory and would seem to spring from a collective, unconscious and thorough domestic-American soil. His fellow writers admire him for his commitment to the craft of fiction and the generosity of his involvement in the literary community. And he has written with insight and eloquence and a rare sort of humility about his craft. To conclude with these quotes:
(An interviewer asks): Why do you choose to write about such gruesome subjects?
SK: Why do you assume I have a choice?
The Dark Half
: "...he was a writer, an imaginer. He had never met one, including himself—who had more than the vaguest idea why he or she did anything..."
Danse Macabre
: "Monsters in horror films have given teenagers a chance to see someone even uglier than themselves."
from various introductions:
"The arts are obsessional, and obsession is dangerous. It's like a knife in the mind." "All fear tends toward a comprehension of the final ending... Our fears add up to one great fear. The appeal of horror fiction through the ages is that it's a rehearsal for our own deaths." "I have a marketable obsession. ...I don't write for money but I have never returned a check uncashed. I may be obsessional, but I'm not crazy."
Please join me in welcoming Stephen King to Princeton this afternoon.

CLEMSON -- Rex Ryan spent an awful lot of time in Clemson this spring. Makes sense, since his son, Seth, is a walk-on wide receiver.
But Ryan wasn't just hanging out; those were business trips, as evidenced by the New York Jets' sixth-round selection spent on the Tigers' winningest quarterback in football history, Tajh Boyd.
Boyd represented the 213th overall pick, far lower than he'd hoped but still enough to give him a chance to compete with Geno Smith and Michael Vick for the starting gig in one of the most visible (read: media-scrutinized) franchises in sports.
In an easy-to-sum tweet, Tajh Boyd announced to his 120,000 followers: "J.E.T.S. Jets Jets Jets!"
Dalton Freeman, Boyd's Clemson center from 2011-12, is on New York's roster.
Boyd's selection ensured all five Clemson players who attended this year's NFL Combine had a landing spot by the end of the three-day, seven-round draft. Earlier Saturday, Redskins cornerback Bashaud Breeland and Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant were fourth-round picks, joining No. 4 overall selection Sammy Watkins to the Bills and third-rounder Brandon Thomas to the 49ers.
"It was a tough night, but I kept my face," Breeland said of not getting selected Friday in the second or third rounds. "I kept my face. It helped me get through the night. I knew the draft wasn't over. As long as I get a shot, that's all I need."
Breeland, a second-team all-ACC corner at Clemson, could play safety or contribute on special teams with Washington, whose top corner, DeAngelo Hall, was admired by Breeland growing up.
"(With) my physicality and my ball skills and my versatility, I can play different positions," Breeland said. "I just want to come in and help the team in any way I can, just make a positive impact on the team."
Bryant slipped a bit past his own draft stock, perhaps due to questions about his focus or a lack of career exposure (just 61 career catches in three years.) Yet Pittsburgh was one of Bryant's favorite visits he took during the pre-draft process.
"It's a great fit. It's a city I really wanted to come to," Bryant said. "I told my mom the whole time I wanted to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. I'm glad that they have faith in me, and I won't let them down."
Pittsburgh has lost Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders in the past two years, so Ben Roethlisberger is looking for another favorite target besides Antonio Brown, free-agent pickup Darrius Heyward-Bey and tight end Heath Miller.
"I know that Big Ben knows how to get the ball down the field and they have had some great receivers over the years," Bryant said. "He loves throwing the ball deep, so I just want to come and help him out and get wins."
Bryant is 6-3 with explosive speed, which suits Roethlisberger's long throws well. Bryant's pair of Orange Bowl touchdowns, acrobatic catches in the corner of the end zone, aided his stock.
"A lot of times in my opinion, you get cheap touchdowns in the red zone," Steelers wide receivers coach Richard Mann said. "People know where the ball is going to go and there is nothing they can do about it. If there is a mismatch and that's what we think we have with the reach that he has, the arms, and the wingspan, I feel like we can get some cheap touchdowns down there."

Working towards the need for good strategic planning and an energetic schedule of influencing activities that bring a progressive change in policy or practice, Intel® Education in India has established the 'Strategic Advocacy Group on Education (SAGE)'. SAGE consists of key thought-leaders, academicians, and representatives from Departments of Education, Government Organizations such as CBSE, NCERT, NAAC and other important organizations, which are influential in policy formulation and reforms for education in India at both the state and central level.
The SAGE has been the result of an evolutionary process built on existing practices and learning faced in the early phase of Intel Teach Program in India. The SAGE members drawing on the collective wisdom, wide range of experiences and deliberations with various stakeholders and community, seek to connect government, various apex institutes, colleges, other educational institutes and stakeholders on policy matters and implementation strategies on matters concerning education especially in optimizing the potential of ICTs for achieving quality educational provisions. The Group endeavors to make systematic and coordinated efforts towards education transformation by providing leadership and direction to the critical issues in education transformation; link them to global good practices and suggest appropriate interventions.
Objective: Creating 'Ambassadors of change'
The objective of the session was to share innovative technology usage policies and practices leading to creating a vision for vision for education transformation. Dr. Kozma started off the session by providing an overview of the 'ICT in Education Policy Toolkit. The toolkit is a useful tool which helps in understanding the complete policy making process.
As Dr. Kozma shared, "It will be exciting to see India finding a vision for how to mobilize the brainpower, as the country has a billion people in an economy based on brain power."
Envisioning: Moving to a 21st Century School
Discussing about the toolkit and its utility in the policy formulation process, Dr. Kozma discussed the need for a long term vision by the Government that is tied to socio-economic goals.
"A systemic approach is essential. Collaboration of Ministries & alignment across layers and primary funding sources like Ministry of HRD, Ministry of Communication & IT, etc. are critical. A Master Plan with clear outcomes and resources ensures commitment", he said.
ICT is a cornerstone in Education Policy reform. Good policy requires attention to local needs and goals, while having a bigger picture of the national goals. Multi-stakeholder partnerships help the Government in mobilizing and sustaining the policy reforms by scaling from the regional level to the national level. SAGE can play an increasing role in setting benchmarks for effective policy development and sharing implementation strategies both at regional and national level.
Every reform starts with a vision for the future. SAGE envisions a future with fundamental changes in school policy, organization, and management; curriculum and assessment; teacher professional development, teaching, and learning; research and evaluation; and changes enabled by ICT.
To build on this vision, Dr. Kozma shared the experiences of Jordan and Singapore as these countries have done exciting things while focusing on the vision of building a knowledge economy and have laid long-term incremental goals to make sure that the ICT efforts contribute to the set vision.
SAGE: Sharing Knowledge Base
The SAGE members discussed transformation at various levels – skills, society and ICT enabled, which would eventually pave the way for transformation in education. A conceptual framework for transforming education connected to socio-economic development was helpful in identifying policy goals.
As a part of workshop session coordinated by Ms. Shweta Khurana, Manager- Education, Intel South Asia, the members discussed future schools in the country, 15 years from now, when the education system would be infused with technology. The members worked in small groups to brainstorm on specific components of the education system, which were then shared with the larger group. To achieve that state of ideal education system infused with technology, SAGE resolved to contribute through research and working towards improving the conditions and outcomes in education transformation. The members concurred that this contribution would lead to formulation of policies which are effective in national development and education transformation.
While discussing the state of policy development in India, the group held the view that though policy development is happening, there is an urgent need for the development of policy framework trajectory with well-defined timelines and measures for implementation to see real success in policy reforms.
Building on Strategic Advocacy
Based on the National Curriculum Framework, Government of India has mandated the State Governments to come up with individual state curriculum frameworks. The SAGE members opined that the mandate by the Government of India can be the beginning point for its contribution at the regional and state levels. The group will strive to provide models, adaptable to various cultural needs and educational and state level systems. The group will coordinate to ensure that the policies which are already defined on paper will reach the implementation stage by influencing the key decision-makers.
In order to achieve socio-economic development through education transformation in India, the group will continue its focus on its goals of commitment to success for all, for developing quality teachers, for policy alignment over sustained period, for strategic investment, and for systematic change.
Plan Ahead
The SAGE members shall work out an action plan to adapt the ICT in Education Policy toolkit and gather the necessary resources to successfully and effectively advocate the policy reforms across various levels of the education system.
SAGE members believe and look forward to more such in-depth seminars and webinars on the functioning of the Toolkit, which will benefit them greatly in being the ambassadors of change that they have set out to be.

Dubai Internet City Named as Strategic ICT Partner for Upcoming IDC Middle East CIO Summit 2014
02 Feb 2014
IDC is delighted to announce Dubai Internet City as Strategic ICT Partner for the research firm's upcoming Middle East CIO Summit 2014, which will take place on February 24–25 at Dubai's landmark Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The agreement was formalized during a signing ceremony at Dubai Internet City attended by the tech zone's managing director, Majed Al Suwaidi, and IDC's group vice president and regional managing director for IDC Middle East, Africa, and Turkey, Jyoti Lalchandani.
Now in its seventh year, IDC's Middle East CIO Summit is the foremost gathering of CIOs in the Middle East. As well as establishing a much-needed peer-to-peer community, the event provides the region's most influential ICT end users with a vendor-neutral platform for sharing ideas and absorbing advisory services, ultimately helping them to drive positive transformations within their organizations. The event is one of the largest CIO gatherings in the Middle East, with over 200 attendees expected.
"As the business landscape and the technologies that businesses rely on have changed in recent years, CIOs are increasingly faced with new types of challenges that were simply not part of the job only a few years ago," says Lalchandani. "With this evolution firmly in mind, the Middle East CIO Summit 2014 will explore the new challenges that CIOs are faced with as a direct result of the growing influence of '3rd Platform' technologies – or what IDC refers to as the four pillars of technology: cloud, Big Data, mobility, and social media."
Al Suwaidi also sees a clear link between the growing influence of 3rd Platform technologies and the changing nature of the CIO's role within the modern enterprise. "The ICT landscape in the region is constantly growing and evolving, and the role of the CIO is becoming increasingly complex," he says. "In line with the core themes of the Summit, it is clear that the growth of cloud computing, Big Data analytics, mobility, and social media has added a further dimension to the responsibilities of the CIO. As such, IDC's Middle East CIO Summit 2014 provides an ideal platform for CIOs and industry leaders to share their opinions on the most effective way to fulfill this new role."
"Dubai Internet City is the strategic partner for some of the Middle East's leading events," continues Al Suwaidi. "We are committed to supporting these events and the activities of our business partners as part of our quest to enhance the wider development of the region's ICT industry."

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Chile's navy says a Chinese factory fishing ship that burned fire last week off Antarctica has sunk without anyone on board.
The vessel Kai Xin caught fire and its 97 crew members were rescued by a Norwegian ship. Then it began to drift in unmanned and in flames, zigzagging dangerously close to glaciers.
The Chilean navy says an official representing the ship's owner confirmed that the vessel went down Sunday afternoon near Bransfield Strait at the Antarctic peninsula.
A Chilean navy tugboat is searching for the ship's remains and is ready to try to contain any oil spill.

Mumbai: In a landmark judg¬ment, the Supreme Court on Tuesday stepped in to check the harassment of doctors in med¬ical negligence cases. A division Bench, comprising Justice Markandey Katju and Justice GS Singhvi, held that consumer and criminal courts would have to seek the opinion of a doctor or a panel of doctors before is¬suing notice to a medical prac¬titioner or hospital in a case al¬leging negligence.
The fresh guidelines stipu¬late that whenever a consumer forum or criminal court receives a complaint against a doctor, it should refer the matter to a pan¬el of experts. Only after the pan¬el reports that there is a prima facie case of medical negligence should a notice be issued to the concerned doctor or hospital.
"This is necessary to avoid harassment to doctors, who may not be ultimately found to be neg¬ligent," observed the bench. It said, "The courts and consumer fora are not experts in medical science and must not hold their own views over that of special¬ists. It is true that the medical profession has to an extent be¬come commercialised and there are many doctors who depart from their Hippocratic oath for their selfish ends of making money However, the entire med¬ical fraternity cannot be blamed or branded as lacking in in¬tegrity or competence just be¬cause of some bad apples."
The court also warned police officials not to arrest or harass doctors unless the facts were in line with earlier SC guidelines.

New Delhi: Coming to the rescue of doctors harassed in medical negligence cases, the Supreme Court warned the police not to arrest them unless the facts met with its earlier guidelines.
"Otherwise, the police¬men will themselves have to face legal action," said the judges. The matter before the court pertained to a 17-year-old case filed by a Delhi res- ident and senior Union com¬merce ministry official Mo¬hammad Ishfaq against a Mumbai-based doctor prac¬tising at Nanavati Hospital. Ishfaq, who suffered from chronic renal failure and was awaiting a kidney transplant, had undergone treatment for a brief period with physician Martin D'Souza for urinary tract infection and also blood infection, TNN.

Pastor Saeed Abedini, who has been imprisoned in Iran since 2012, has reportedly sent a Christmas letter to his family which has been shared with the public.
Pastor Saeed Abedini, who has been imprisoned in Iran since 2012, has reportedly sent a Christmas letter to his family which has been shared with the public.
Saeed Abedini's wife, Naghmeh, told ACLJ that IS prisoners have threatened to kill Abedini because of his Christian faith.
At a press conference on March 14th, UN Special Rapporteur Dr. Ahmed Shaheed began his speech by saying, "Today, I report with deep regret that despite overtures and announcements emanating from the newly elected Iranian government, and perhaps even in spite of modest attempts to take steps towards reform, the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran remains of serious concern."
An interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif provides a glimmer of hope for imprisoned pastor Saeed Abedini—a U.S. citizen imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith.
In an emotional plea before Congress, Abedini described her husband's worsening plight at the notorious Rajaï Shahr prison in Iran.
Supporters hail the recent Iran deal as a diplomatic success story but critics – including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – are calling the deal a "mistake."
For the first time since his transfer to Rajai Shahr, another prison in Iran, American pastor Saeed Abedini was allowed to visit with members of his Iranian family.

Box Score
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Wrapping up its first weekend of play as a NCAA Division I program, the Lamar University soccer team lost 7-0 Sunday afternoon to host Northern Arizona in the final game of the Hilton Garden Inn Mountain Classic.
Lamar (0-2) continues its pre-conference schedule this Friday at 4:30 p.m. against North Texas at Northwestern State's Tournament. The Cardinals will play South Alabama Sunday at 11:30 a.m. to close out the tournament.
The Cardinals held NAU scoreless for the first 30 minutes of the game before Tara Cozzetto gave the Lumberjacks a 1-0 lead at 31:50. That was the score after the first 45 minutes of play.
NAU scored three times in the first seven minutes of the second half to break the game open. Kristi Andreassen scored at 45:05 with an assist from Karri Currier. Carolyn Savage followed with a goal at 48:29, also assisted by Currier. Brandy Carr capped the barrage with a goal at 51:26 to make the score 4-0.
After assisting on two previous goals, Currier found the back of the net for NAU at 64:29. Sarah Vallen scored at 76:08 with Savage getting her second assist. Savage scored her second goal of the game and closed out the scoring at 77:20 with Cozzetto and Andreassen notching assists.
"We played right with them in the first half, but I think the altitude and capping the first weekend of play go to us a bit in the second half," said first-year Lamar coach Matt Dillon. "It's a big transition going from high school, which most of our players are doing, to playing Division I. We're going to have some growing pains as they adjust to the speed of the game at this level.
"Our girls play with a lot of heart and they never quit. That's all you can ask as a coach. We'll look at the film this week and keep working on tactical things and get ready to play again next weekend at Northwestern State's Tournament."
NAU attempted 37 shots with 21 on goal while Lamar was held to no shots. The Cardinals were whistled for six fouls compared to two by the Lumberjacks.

This invention relates to computing devices and more particularly, computing devices to be used underwater. Various specialize devices exist for assisting scuba divers. However these devices are not integrated into a single electronic unit. There are dive computers to assist a diver by calculating and displaying information such as water depth, water temperature and time-at-depth. There other devices to help capture digital images under water. Typically, these devices are individual devices that must be carried separately by a diver which can be cumbersome. For scuba diving to be safe, efficient, and enjoyable, an integrated self-contained electronic device to assist scuba divers is needed.
An underwater scuba diving assistant is described. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a waterproof electronic computing device. The electronic device includes a microprocessor, memory, and a control panel. Captured diving status parameters are monitored and displayed to the user. The preferred embodiment includes a digital camera subsystem for capturing still images and video images under water and transmitting these images into memory of the electronic computing device. Additionally, this embodiment includes a satellite receiver subsystem for assisting in land and water navigation. The microprocessor is the brains of the device and interfaces via the control panel with the digital camera subsystem and the satellite receiver subsystem.
Communication port (130) provides the capability of downloading information into memory (115) or uploading information from memory (115) into the memory of the host computer. Additionally, communication port (130) can be utilized to synchronize electronic device (100) with a host computer for backup purposes.

Re: My reaction to Mastodon...
I saw the same bill you saw at the beginning of their current tour. I was a little trepidatious about it because I've heard, and seen, enough video evidence to warrant the 'they suck live' rep that gets thrown around.
Musically they were 100% spot on as you say and Brann Dailor was flawless. I thought there was no way he'd execute all those insane rolls and fills he's known for . . . dude nailed 'em all.
There were some odd vocal moments but they were minor at best. For example, during the chorus of 'Spectre Light' they had a special mic and it was either not on or down so low in the mix to be non-existant. Even Brent Hinds sounded fine who is historically the vocal weak link.
One thing that bummed me out though is they did not play 'Oblivion' at all. Love the intro and the drum buildup so boooooooo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but mostly as atheists, we believe in nothingness after death, or at least I think I do. But then we have all of this stuff with mediums and spirits that maybe point to evidence to an afterlife. Some mediums have told people things that no one else has known, so that really makes me wonder.
I was really just wondering what everyone's opinions were on afterlife and spirits and stuff like that. Like, what exactly do you think happens after death?

I'm not sure if I entirely agree with the portion here where you typed, "We know for a fact that the mind is a product of the brain." I'm not sure who you were referring to when you typed "we" there, was it contemporary neuroscience or perhaps contemporary psychology? I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if you've ever read the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" or the "Quantum mind-body problem" or even David Bohm's "Quantum mind." The idea there is that consciousness may be intertwined not only to the physical, but also to what M-theorist entertain, the higher dimensional hyperspace that makes up string theory and M-Theory. To give an example, and I've used this one before, but maybe you might be new to this.
I'll start by quoting something Steven Pinker once said, he said, "The way I think of mind is as a 4th dimensional organ of your body, you cannot see it, because it resides in a higher dimension, but you experience a sectioning of it within the phenomenon of consciousness, but that is only a partial sectioning of it in the same way a plane is a partial sectioning of a cone when it transects it."
I know that quote sounds like something Stuart Hameroff might suggest, but what's implicit here is that this emergent property of matter, what we call "consciousness," like I said, is somehow intertwined with what M-Theorists rave about, the "higher dimensions" which make up String Theory. For instance, to give an example of this "sectioning" in the quote, when you imagine, say, a tree in the daytime spring scenery, you can see it in your mind's eye quite vividly, can't you?
You can make out the brilliant colours and and even almost hear the wind as it brushes against its branches and leaves. But where is this tree, really? Where is the tree being projected? We can't make the analogy from the computer's output to a monitor, you see, because the tree isn't really anywhere in your mind. If we were going to take a look at the physical brain, we wouldn't find the tree, instead we may find certain electrical neural patterns, the breaking and forming of chemical bonds and various other fast chemistries, etc. But if we were going to use the computer analogy, then the monitor, where the image is being projected is in within this "sectioning" of hyperspace while the hardware is a direct correlate in the physical brain, they go together, you see.
I know I posted this earlier in the thread, but I'll post it once more, but these are some of the ideas that people entertain when thinking about these concepts.
So, the point you were making about our return to the state of the unborn may have more implications than you might think. Could it be that consciousness retracts into whatever higher dimension it came from in the first place? If it's the case that the near-death-experience is associated with N,N-DMT, could it be that what this experience is, is a kind of fall into the black hole in the psyche, a process that may take an eternity? In Hinduism, it is believed that when someone dies, there is this notion of "nirvikalpa samadhi" where one's consciousness returns the source or "Brahman," the divine consciousness, an impersonal consciousness. That, in a way, the multiverse is a form of consciousness that within it only creates the illusion of separateness, which is ourselves.
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing ourselves subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves!" -Bill Hicks
You mentioned why not inorganic things? Well, what about panpsychism? If you run a Google image search for brain cell/universe, you receive a very suggestive image there. By the way, I'm not positing these concepts as "truth," I simply lay 'em out there so people can entertain them or not. The fact of the matter is that no one truly knows.
Jimmy you are a foole (the silent "e" shows how special you are).
Actually, it's just a rip off from one of George Carlin's comedy albums. Can't you be more original?
Love George Carlin, he will be missed...you will not.
Like Stijn Bruers, Jimmy's under the impression that the truth of what he says is a function of the length of his posts. Either that, or he believes that if he buries you under a mountain of horseshit you'll go away.
I wonder if Jimmy is planning on being the next Deepak Chopra?
Is that it Jimmy? Are you planning on being the next King of Woo Woo?
I wouldn't blame ol' Jimmy for giving that a go, there's a mountain of gold to be had in Woo Woo Land.
Oh!!! That's even better:
Jimmy, the Wizard of Woo Woo Land.
Jimbo, best of luck leading the lemmings into the Abyss. :)
If I thought for a second that would work on you, I'd try it --
Okay, there you go again with the use of "we," in "we have an extensive understanding of consciousness and how it develops." This is untrue. If you were to look up "consciousness" in any psychology book or neuroscientific medical book, the resounding message you'll find is often quoted as, "Nothing worth reading has been written about consciousness." The very thing that is most familiar to us, yet it is the one thing we know very little about.
As Steven Pinker once said, "Consciousness rest on a chemical foundation, it is not a product of it." Mind may be an epiphenomenon that is based in both the quantum world and the physical realm, but I don't think there's any neurobiology or neuroscience being done as of now that would claim to have some kind of understanding of "consciousness" that would be able to define what exactly is going on.
You said, "Near-death-experiences" are just that. Well, perhaps you're not familiar with N,N-DMT as it's now been proven that the near-death-experience is an experience of the natural induction of endogenous N,N-DMT.
Steven Pinker once said, he said, "The way I think of mind is as a 4th dimensional organ of your body
The irony here is that Pinker isn't at all suggesting what you seem to be taking away from his abstract description of mind. Wouldn't your interpretation be closer to Chopra's?
Pope Paul, I've never read anything relative to Chopra in my life. Pinker, on the other hand, is a person that I've read extensively upon. So, maybe you can enlighten me with your interpretation. Why do you believe it's closer to Chopra's view?
I'm not sure if I entirely agree with the portion here where you typed, "We know for a fact that the mind is a product of the brain." I'm not sure who you were referring to when you typed "we" there, was it contemporary neuroscience or perhaps contemporary psychology? I'm not sure.
Let's help you be a bit more sure of yourself, Jimmy.
Empirical science has indeed established that human consciousness is a product of the human brain. How? For starters, "we" have the 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries that occur every year. Destroy the right part of your brain and the corresponding aspect of your consciousness (memory, association, concentration, etc.) ceases to function properly.
If the brain did not make us conscious, then concussions would not make us unconscious; damage to the brain would not damage the mind. Without that causal relationship, how could it possibly?
So there you have it. Hard evidence in the form of millions of examples, which have been exhaustively tested, and have long since established this to be the case, over and over again.
The example I gave doesn't discount these instances of brain injuries. So, I'm not sure what you aimed to prove with your response. I said that these things may be intertwined, not that it's solely that consciousness resides elsewhere completely separate from the brain, but that consciousness is a kind of projection into an "elsewhere", if you will, that M-Theory or String theory proposes. After all, as in the example I gave, where is the tree?

Kyle Benedictus, Steven Milne and Kevin McBride netted for the Dark Blues while Leigh Griffiths scored a last-minute consolation for the visitors from Edinburgh.
Dundee have now taken seven points from their last three matches, although they remain at the base of the SPL table - but just one point adrift of St Mirren.
Smith said: "It's a great result and a very good performance.
"We deserved to win the game and we got three goals as well which is always nice.
"We played with high energy levels and pressed them high up the pitch which we got a lot of joy from.
"We're pleased with the overall performance and the lads have all been working ever so hard.
"There's a long way to go but we'll concentrate on what we're doing. It's as simple as that. We're not looking at anyone else and that won't change."

Problems with bleeding from the vagina are one of the most common reasons why women see their physician. There are many causes for bleeding problems, most of which are benign and easily treatable.
Abnormal menstrual bleeding, also known as abnormal uterine bleeding, is defined as bleeding at irregular intervals (less than 21 day or more than 35 day cycles), bleeding for longer than usual (more than 8 days), or bleeding a larger amount than is typical for a normal menstrual period (greater than 80 mL).
The causes of bleeding problems are many and vary with age. They can be divided into pregnancy related bleeding, hormonal imbalances (due to either diseases or contraceptive medications such as the pill), problems of the female internal reproductive organs (such as infections, abnormal growths, and foreign bodies), chronic or severe medical conditions (such as diabetes, severe infections, liver disorders, and others), and general blood disorders.
The first thing to do if you seem to have a bleeding problem is see your doctor. He or she will need to discuss such things as the amount of bleeding, how long it lasts, and how frequently it happens. He or she will also ask about other issues, such as the medications you are taking, your sexual practices, your contraception methods, and the symptoms of other diseases that could be related to the bleeding.
After this, your physician will perform a physical examination. This will allow your doctor to both examine your anatomy for a growth, cut, or infection causing the bleeding, and to do a full examination in search of other syndromes that may be causing the bleeding.
Depending on your age and what your doctor has learned, he or she will determine which other tests may be necessary, including imaging studies such as ultrasound, X-ray, biopsy, and tests for sexually transmitted infections.
Other tests which your physician will likely order are laboratory studies such as blood tests. With these, one can search for such causes of bleeding as coagulation disorders or "thin" blood, thyroid disease, liver disease, infection, and pregnancy.
Treatment for bleeding problems focuses on the cause of the bleeding, as determined by the history, findings from the physical examination, and the tests noted previously.

As camping season heats up for the end of summer, Scott County is banning firewood from outside the county.
That's unless it contains proper state and USDA labeling. Campers may also use firewood that was cut themselves within Scott County.
Restrictions aim at preventing the spread of the emerald ash borer.
The crackle of the campfire is a symbol of the season. It's a favorite event for Don Kintz.
"We sat out until about 10 o'clock last night around the campfire," he recalled.
The Bettendorf man spends a lot of time at Scott County Park. But as the emerald ash borer inches closer, there are new restrictions on firewood that take effect on August 27.
"Anything they can do to keep it from entering the county is good for everybody," Kintz said.
Scott County Park Manager Dave Ong showed us proper firewood.
"We know that we're not passing on the bug," he said.
It's clearly labeled and available at the park entrance. Since people are transporting the emerald ash borer through infected wood, they're banning unlabeled items from outside Scott County.
"We want to be patient," he said. "We want to be polite. We want to be educating."
Campers like Don Kintz understand the reason behind the move. It's all about protecting the environment.
"It just keeps working its way closer to Scott County," Kintz said. "It's not very far away right now."
Scott County Park features many ash trees. Rangers will help campers adapt to the new regulations.
For campers like Ben Vittori, it seems to make a lot of sense.
"Trees like these back here take a long time to grow," he said. "You can't replace them tomorrow."
It will take a blend of education and enforcement. But campers understand the need to save the forest.
"It's something that's going to be a headache for everybody," Kintz concluded.
Yet at this campfire, it's just the natural thing to do.

Sean McVay
Offensive Coordinator, Washington Redskins
Sean McVay was named the team's offensive coordinator on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014.
McVay is entering his sixth NFL season, his fifth in Washington.
After being hired by the Redskins as an offensive assistant in 2010, McVay spent the last three seasons as the team's tight ends coach, helping the unit account for 222 receptions for 2,704 yards across the 2011-13 seasons.
Last year, McVay was instrumental in the development of rookie tight end Jordan Reed, who compiled 45 receptions for 499 yards – both Redskins' single-season rookie tight end records – despite Reed playing in only nine games.
Under McVay's tutelage, Reed joined Chris Cooley (2004) as the only Redskins tight ends named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
Reed's 5.0 receptions per game in 2013 and tight end Fred Davis' 4.9 receptions per game in 2011 under McVay rank second- and third-most, respectively, in team history for receptions per game by a tight end in a single season.
In those seasons, Davis (66.3) and Reed (55.4) posted the second- and fourth-best receiving yards per game totals by tight ends in Redskins annals.
In addition, McVay helped develop tight end Logan Paulsen from an undrafted free agent into a 30-game starter over the last four seasons, with Paulsen increasing his reception totals each season from 2010-13.
During Washington's NFC East championship season in 2012, McVay's unit produced despite losing starting tight end Fred Davis to a torn Achilles tendon in Week 7.
Davis had led the team in both receptions (24) and receiving yards (325) through seven games before being placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
McVay guided a unit that provided reliable receiving options on top of contributing significantly as blockers to the Redskins' league-leading 2,709 rushing yards.
In 2011, McVay played an integral role in Davis' emergence, as the then-fourth-year tight end surpassed his previous career highs despite playing in only 12 games. Davis caught 59 passes for 796 yards, the second-highest total on the team in both categories.
Before missing the final four games of the season, Davis was on pace to set a franchise record in receiving yards by a tight end and was on pace to post the first 1,000-yard receiving season by a tight end in Redskins history.
McVay served as an offensive assistant to the Redskins in 2010, in addition to working with the tight ends during the final four weeks of the season following coach Jon Embree's departure. The Redskins offense ranked eighth in the NFL in passing yards per game (244.6) and tight end Chris Cooley ranked second among NFL tight ends in receptions (77) and third in receiving yards (849).
The offensive unit also set a franchise record for completions in a season (349), and registered a touchdown pass in 15 consecutive games for the first time in team history. The Redskins' offense led the NFL with nine completions of at least 50 yards, including one in four consecutive games for the first time since 1987.
McVay joined the Redskins prior to the 2010 season after an undefeated regular season with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League (UFL), where current Redskins Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett served as the head coach.
The Tuskers finished a perfect 6-0 before losing in the UFL's inaugural championship game. McVay served as the Tuskers tight ends coach in addition to working closely the team's running backs. McVay originally entered the National Football League as an offensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008.
During his time in Tampa Bay, McVay worked closely with wide receiver Antonio Bryant, who recorded career highs in receptions (83), receiving yards (1,248), and touchdowns (seven), en route to winning The Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year Award.
McVay graduated from Miami University (Ohio) where he played wide receiver from 2004-07, earning Miami's Scholar-Athlete Award in 2007.

Acting positive, not just thinking positive is the key to success
My colleagues Caroline Cronin, Kate Daw and their team organised a fantastic Local Shop Summit in Birmingham last week and for me the high point was three videos showcasing three great local shops.
On the day, the three owners Roli Ranger, Bintesh Amin and Paul Cheema may have felt a little unsure about sharing their achievements at an event billed: How to be Brilliant.
While best-selling author Michael Heppell had advised the 250 plus retailers present that being good was no longer good enough and to become brilliant you needed to study people who were successful, some retailers were unhappy with our choice of brilliant shops.
Not that the shops were poor. Just that they were convenience stores and in particular symbol group members. And again, not that the retailers had anything against c-stores or symbol group members. Just that they assumed Roli, Bintesh and Paul had an edge because of the badge over their door and the extra support suppliers gave them.
Later, one independent retailer thanked me for the event and told me it would have been better if one of the three videos had been of an unaffiliated independent shop. I think he has made a good point. My team asked Roli, Bintesh and Paul to get involved not because they are in symbol groups but because they are constantly working with suppliers – and us – on trying new things. Their shops are constantly changing to meet the needs of their local shoppers.
The key point is that their shops are successful because of who they are: brilliant retailers. They are probably in symbol groups because they understand Mr Heppell's point about working in mastermind groups, finding great business people and working with them.
Mind your language, Mr Heppell's aunt used to tell him. You become what you say you are. If you project negative, you get negative. A good question would have been to ask how much of their success was down to signing up to a symbol group and how much was down to their own efforts.
I suspect that in the early days, symbol group membership taught them retail disciplines and gave them access to good ideas and best practice. But long ago, Roli, Bintesh and Paul moved beyond this. You can see it in their shops. You can see it in the faces of their staff. You can see it in the faces of their shoppers.
There is an assumption that suppliers give to some and not to others. Perhaps there is an element of truth in this. Poor suppliers often give a better deal to loud customers in the hope that if they keep them quiet they don't have to change how they operate. But in the convenience market, if you operate like this you will be found out. You will be found out because Tesco, Sainsbury or Waitrose will open up near you so that your shoppers can walk to their stores.
The purpose of the Local Shop Summit is to help independent retailers get better. The secret of getting better is your individual leadership. You will never negotiate a better deal than Tesco, but if you have the right vision you can win the loyalty of your shoppers. Choose to be brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoyed this years Local Shop Summit and I think the choice of stores that were profiled was excellent. Yes the point about including an independent not affiliated to a group is justified, but for me the point is seeing professional operations with great standards. I dont want to see a poor standards of layout ,hygine,product selection, staff etc. That does not inspire me. When I see operaters like those guys that does inspire me.
Hi Joe, Thank you for your feedback. Brilliant, to coin a word. Nick
Yes I too thoroughly enjoyed the summit. It was broken down to 3 elements a speaker telling you what to do – retailers who actually got out of their back seat and did something about the businesses they aquired and some suppliers who are willing to help.
I find most suppliers now want to work with you. In the past returning unsaleable goods were unheard of but now the suppliers are also willing to help and get the right stock and increase business – you just have to ask!
Well done the whole team!
Hi Nalin, Thank you for the analysis. As a team we are thinking hard about how we may improve the event for next year and your feedback is brilliant. Nick
To make the best of your stores get out of your stores and go to these networking events. Even if you come back with one idea or even one supplier that is willing to work you you have gained knowledge for your time spent away.
Hi Paul, I know you have said this before and visiting other stores is one of your mantra. I am off to Wigan and Manchester to meet two retailers and see four shops tomorrow. You always come back with some brilliant ideas. Nick
Evolving is the key word. Retailing is a dynamic trade and markets as well as customer expectations are always changing. To ignore this is a recipe for disaster……one has to move and adapt . Our share of the pie is getting smaller which makes it even more important to fight for every customer. Contrary to a few retailers who took the 'us v the symbols' approach, the majority of feedback I received was very positive. One retailer at the conference has already contacted me to see how he too can grow his business and will visit my store in the near future. My door, as always , is open to any retailer who wishes to come visit and exchange ideas.
Hi Roli, I showed your video to some of my business friends last week: software developers and the like. One, who runs upmarket foodservice establishments, said at the end: "Fantastic local shop, are all of your customers like this?" Brilliant feedback. My answer: "One day…but then Roli will be in a different, better place too!" Thank you for your feedback and your offer to retailers to let them visit. Nick

The highly talented under-10 squad of SDI Al Azhar lost for the first time this season, falling 3-2 to British International School Team A in a thrilling match in the Jakarta Schools Football Association on Saturday.
In front of a crowded touchline, Al Azhar, in the club's black and gold change strip, went ahead 2-1 with goals from Berliando Javier and Magistra Nuari Llmi.
With a number of desperate tackles coming from its tenacious midfield, some great saves by keeper Gijs Berkhout and the help of the woodwork on three occasions, the BIS-A side began clawing its way back with 10 minutes left in the match.
With an equalizer arriving early in the fourth quarter courtesy of Charlie McFadden, it was left to a right-foot strike from Jeremy Hillock that sailed high into the top corner of the net with four minutes to go to seal the hard-earned victory.
In the under-10 A standings, BIS now sits in second with nine points, just behind Jakarta International School on goal difference. Al Azhar fell to third, tied with two other schools with six points.
When asked how he felt when he saw his shot go in, an excited Hillock said, "I was so happy to score. I knew that there were only a few minutes to go and that we could still win. We all worked really hard and are so excited because [Al Azhar] is a very good team."
There were a number of other close games that were played out during a busy fixture program held at seven different venues on Saturday.
BIS played a hard-fought match against Al Azhar before winning 6-5 in the under-19 competition. The victory put BIS in second place in the U19 standings, level on six points with the French German Team, which has a better goal difference after its 4-0 win over Santa Laurensia.
The under-16 match between BIS and ACG/Raffles International Christian School was also tightly fought, with ACG winning 4-3, its first victory in the tournament. It lost 5-3 to Central School in its previous match.
In other U16-B matches, Jakarta International Korean School won 5-2 over Kampung Jombang, while Sekolah Bogor Raya beat SMP Bani Saleh 1 3-0.
Based on statistics provided by Jakartafootball.com, 228 matches have been played and 1,528 goals scored after Week Three of the 12-week season, an average of 6.7 goals a game. Brian Dallamore

UFC NEWS – Watch The UFC on FOX 2 Pre-Fight Press Conference Live Today On BJPENN.COM (2 p.m. ET)
The UFC will be holding the UFC on FOX 2 press conference today, featuring UFC president Dana White, Michael Bisping, Mark Munoz, Chael Sonnen, Rashad Evans and Phil Davis.
UFC on FOX 2 is set to go down from Chicago's United Center on January 28 live on FOX TV. In the main event, Phil Davis will square off with Rashad Evans for the number one contender seat in the UFC's light-heavyweight division ruled over by Jon Jones. The co-feature of the evening is a middleweight number one contender bout between Mark Munoz and Chael Sonnen.
Below is the free broadcast player that will be showing the event live.

Bisping set to go up against Maia, interesting! Standing its all Bisping, if it can hit the ground Maia's realm all night!! LOL Woulda prefered Stann instead to take the brit out (woulda been ufc 100 all over again)! Haha
Bisping is goin' in on Sonnen while sitting right next to him! Gotta respect him for that!
That's great! I'm glad there's finally someone there to talk the truth instead just sitting there laughing at Chael's unrealistic statements. Bisping hit the nail on the head.
Bisping gets coddled again, better fights would have been Bisping vs. Munoz and Maia vs Sonnen or Munoz vs Maia and Bisping vs Sonnen. Its time to sit at the big boys table Bisping….
I'm not a big fan of Bisping, but let's be real. Dude is making every effort to sit at the big boys table
Nah, they have the right fights. Maia vs. Sonnen already happened and it was one-sided plus Maia vs. Munoz recently happened.These are the fights that were left and some good choices in my opinion(while waiting for the champ to recover). Bisping will be in a real fight(unlike last weekend) against Maia and Sonnen vs. Munoz is an interesting matchup.
Davis and Evans are goin' at it! Gotta love this press conference! Big shit talking!
Awesome card!
Sonnen and Munoz should be the main event. Chael is a bigger draw then Rashad and Minoz is a bigger draw than Davis. Plus they have history.

COESSE — Circumstances prevented a devastating fire Tuesday from being even more tragic. "The farm hand had just left about a half hour before and a passerby called it in," said Union Township Fire Chief Chad Radke this morning about Tuesday's fire that destroyed a horse barn at Stockamp Ranch east of Columbia City.
Radke said today the damage was too extensive for fire investigators to determine the cause.
COLUMBIA CITY – Numbing pain at the gasoline pump continued during the past 18 hours when many fueling spots in Whitley County increased prices from $3.69 per gallon to $3.85 and more.
Last Thursday gas prices jumped more than a quarter a gallon – and the spike continues this week.
The White House last Thursday reiterated its continuing philosophy that leadership on this issue was difficult and household economic problems were to be expected.
Recovery from the recession is at risk, note experts outside of the White House.

Tiger boys get win in Las Cruces
A 10-0 run in the first few minutes of the final quarter of Saturday's game helped give the Los Lunas boys basketball season its first win of the 2012-13 season.
The Tigers' 42-39 win over Centennial in Las Cruces gave first-year Tiger coach Travis Julian his first victory at the LLHS helm.
Noting that the boys took five charges and played great defense throughout the game, Julian explained that excellent conditioning of his team was a major reason for the win.
"We really have conditioned these kids pretty hard and it shows the kind of shape we are in," said Julian. "That is what has made the difference in the fourth quarter."
Centennial (3-2) led Los Lunas, 30-23, at the end of the third quarter. Minutes later, The Tigers (1-2 after Saturday's win) had regained the lead, 33-30, thanks to some frantic defense and full-court pressure.
The Tigers were set to host Santa Fe Indian School on Tuesday after News-Bulletin press time, and are scheduled to host Rio Grande at 7 p.m., Thursday.
Julian got a pleasant surprise as the bus loaded for the long road trip to Las Cruces at 6 a.m., Saturday morning.
After suiting up for the Tiger football team's heartbreaking 17-14 loss in the Class 4A state championship football game, Jacob Holland and Chad Murphy showed up ready to go play basketball.
Julian noted that he checked with Los Lunas Schools athletics director Wilson Holland, and both players were cleared to participate.
"After that tough football game on Friday night, it was pretty neat that they showed up and wanted to go," said Julian of the dedication shown by the two football players.
"I will respect what the student-athlete wants to do. If they want to sit out for a week, then we will respect that. I am going to leave it up to those guys."
Saturday's game was Centennial's first against a New Mexico opponent. The first-year Hawks' other four contests had been against Texas competition.
After a close 9-9 first quarter, Centennial held the Tigers to just nine points in the second quarter and five in the third before the fourth-quarter surge.
Centennial had the last shot and ran a high pick to free the head-of-the-key trey attempt.
"Our inside did a great job of adjusting to it and contested the shot," said Julian of the winning defensive play.
"They have good length," said Julian of the tall Hawks. "That kind of bothered our guys. We probably missed 15 to 20 shots inside the paint during the game. They blocked some our shots and that made us tentative."
Julian also noted that the Hawks shadowed leading scorer Ben Romero in a box-and-one defense. Romero only had 10 points in the game.
"Any time you play against a gimmick defense like that, it takes time to adjust," said Julian.
Los Lunas did get two 3-pointers and nine points from Marcus Mendoza. Emilio Gutierrez had six, Quentin Mullins scored five and Holland got four points in his season debut.

Shameless Plug: Use a Mac OS X Compatible VPN Service to protect your privacy on the Internet.
In gnome-terminal I always used ctrl-shift-n to open a new terminal window in the current working directory (cwd). Having been forced to switch to OSX I was totally missing this functionality in the Terminal app. I often spawn a new terminal to quickly execute a quick command or series of commands and then close it. Not finding any satisfactory solutions online I hacked one together which works.
My Solution
First make sure the following checkbox is enabled: Terminal -> Preferences -> Window ->TTY Name
Now edit your
~/.bash_profile and add this line:
export PROMPT_COMMAND='pwd > /tmp/cwd.`ps -o tty= -p $$`'
Next create an applescript with the following content (if you don't know how to create/compile an applescript just use the AppleScript Editor) and save it in your Scripts directory:
tell application "Terminal" set ttyname to (tty of (front window)) set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/" set cwd to do shell script "cat /tmp/cwd." & (item 3 of (text items of ttyname)) activate do script "cd '" & cwd & "'" end tell
Now that you have saved the script we only need to bind a key to it. This requires an extra application as I don't know of any stock way to do this in OSX. I use FastScripts to do this. I believe KeyboardMaestro also has this capability, as I'm sure lots of other apps I don't know about do. Feel free to leave a comment with suggestions on better/free-er ones.
With FastScripts you just drop down the menubar which should already contain your script if you saved it in your Scripts directory. Find the script and cmd-click it, this will bring up a popup which allows you to assign a global shortcut.
How it works
$PROMPT_COMMAND is executed before each prompt (i.e. after any directory change).
pwd > /tmp/cwd.`ps -o tty= -p $$` writes out the current working directory to a temp file containing the name of the current TTY. So for each Terminal session there will be a corresponding file which is kept up to date with its current directory. The applescript grabs the TTY from the current active Terminal and reads its cwd file to find the current directory. It then spawns a new terminal window and tells it to cd to that directory.
* note: if you are in a screen this will not work because the TTY will be different than the one in the Terminal's window.
Let me know if you have a better solution, I'm sure there's one out there.

No rise for town council's precept
Posted: January 15, 2014|
LOSTWITHIEL residents are breathing a sigh of relief with the decision of the town council not to increase the amount of money they pay for the council to function.
Lostwithiel Town Council's precept last year was £119,925 and it was agreed at a full council meeting last week that the revenue received from residents would total £119,415 for the coming financial year, starting in April.
The slight reduction follows two years of hikes.
In 2013, Lostwithiel Town Council put its precept up by 23 per cent, after a massive increase of 72 per cent the previous year.
Back in 2011-2012, the town council received £56,579 from residents to provide services in the town.
The new precept figure will be added to people's council tax bills from April, with Cornwall Council increasing its share of the bill by 1.97 per cent.
Back in November County Hall approved a budget which will result in bills for Band D households rising by £24.51 to £1,268.92 for 2014-15, not taking into account town and parish council precepts.
Cornwall Council faces making £24 million of additional savings next year, on top of the £19 million already planned.
Ratifying its 2014-2015 budget, the town council was told a council tax support grant from Cornwall Council would also be available if needed.
Councillor Chris Jewels said councillors had thought long and hard about setting the budget.
"There has been a lot of soul-searching and we have now reached a figure that is below last year's precept,'' he told fellow councillors, who voted unanimously to approve the budget.

- It served the purpose of being a roof over my head. No lockable storage in rooms. aprox 30 mins fast walking to the central Mall. (central mall is north west of the Adelaide map hostel location is south east) The phrase to best describe it would be think of a well used student house and your close to imagining what it was like. In addition to the above statement - The hostel appears in the STA brochure and I was told that if it was in the brochure it meant that the managers stayed in them. Not sure which manger stayed in this hostel as if it were me I would not display it in my brochure. (if this information is incorrect please correct your staff) The YHA in Adelaide is a better bet.
