This briefing reviews the evidence on migration and housing in the UK.
Key Points
- The foreign-born population has significantly lower ownership rates (43% were home owners in the first quarter of 2015) than the UK-born (68%).
- The foreign-born population is almost three times as likely to be in the private rental sector (39% were in this sector in the first quarter of 2015), compared to the UK-born (14%).
- UK-born and foreign-born individuals living in London tend to have lower home ownership rates, and a higher likelihood of being in the rental and social housing sector relative to the rest of the UK.
- Recent migrants (i.e. those who have been in the UK for five years or less) are almost twice as likely to be renters (74% were in the private rental sector in the first quarter of 2015), compared to all migrants. Those migrants who have been in the UK longer tend to have accommodation similar to that of the UK-born.
- UK-born and foreign-born individuals have similar levels of participation in social housing (about 17% of UK-born individuals and 18% of foreign-born individuals were in social housing during the first quarter of 2015).
- Recent evidence suggests that immigration decreases house prices in England and Wales. This impact is likely to be the result of UK-born residents moving out of the areas with a large migrant concentration.
- The foreign-born population has significantly lower ownership rates (43% were home owners in the first quarter of 2015) than the UK-born (68%).
Understanding the Evidence
The determinants of migrants' experiences in and impacts on the UK housing system include many factors such as migrants' characteristics (e.g. age, income level, type of visa, time in the UK), preferences (e.g. household size, renting versus owning, minimum acceptable level of quality of accommodation) and restrictions of access to social housing. Therefore, different types of migrants, with different rights, opportunities and resources are likely to have very different experiences in and impacts on the UK housing system.
Positive net migration may affect house prices and rents. In the case of social housing, where there is no price mechanism, positive net migration can lead to a shortage or increase shortage of social housing. The magnitudes of these impacts depend on the responsiveness of the supply of housing to changes in demand. The impact of immigration on housing can also be expected to vary across local areas with different housing markets and experiencing different scales of migrant inflows and outflows. There can also be important inter-relationships between the owner occupier sector and the private rented sector. For example, the increased demand for rented accommodation may encourage more investors to enter the buy-to-let market, which in turn could increase house prices.
The UK imposes limitations on access to public benefits, including social housing, for some types of migrants. In most instances, recent migrants from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) cannot claim social housing benefits. Non-eligible migrants may still increase the demand for social housing by displacing the eligible population from the private rental sector.
Foreign-born individuals have lower ownership rates than UK-born individuals and greater representation in the rental sector
Figure 1 shows the types of accommodation reported by UK-born and foreign-born individuals in the Labour Force Survey (first quarter of 2015). Foreign-born individuals have significantly lower ownership rates (43% are home owners) than the UK-born (68% are home owners). On the other hand, foreign-born individuals are three times as likely to be in the private rental sector (39% rent), compared to the UK-born (14% rent).
Figure 1
A comparison of the results for London versus the rest of the UK, suggests that for both, UK-born and foreign-born individuals, those living in London tend to have smaller home ownership rates, and a higher likelihood of being in the rental sector and social housing.
Figure 2
Recent migrants are twice as likely to be renters compared to other migrants
Given the different characteristics of recent migrants to the UK compared with previous incoming migrant groups, it is likely that recent cohorts of migrants differ in terms of their housing experiences from previous ones. The evidence presented in Figure 3 suggests that those migrants who entered the UK recently (i.e. five years ago or less) differ significantly from the 'all foreign-born' group in regards to type of accommodation. These recent migrants are much more likely to be renters (74% rent) compared to all migrants. Yet, those who have been in the UK longer tend to have housing accommodation that is closer to that of the UK-born. In fact, the housing accommodation of those who have been in the UK for 20 years or more is very similar to that of the UK-born.
These differences in accommodation for different cohorts of migrants may reflect a degree of convergence over time of migrant accommodation with the UK-born accommodation, but it is not possible to draw such a conclusion from these cross-sectional data. Research on the housing pathways of new immigrants in the UK suggest, however, that most new migrants moved into temporary accommodation upon arrival. Migrants that are only staying for a short period in the UK may tolerate living in overcrowded conditions or even in low quality housing. However, after realising that their stay in the UK could be permanent it is common for migrants to look for better housing choices including particular neighbourhoods and avoiding sharing accommodation with other families (Robinson et al. 2007).
Figure 3
UK-born individuals and foreign-born individuals have similar levels of participation in social housing
Not all migrants are eligible for social housing. In order to be eligible, migrants must have, in general, settlement status or be a national of the EEA (see the Housing Rights Information website for details about the different housing rights of migrants).As shown in Figure 1, about 17% of UK-born and 18% of foreign-born individuals live in social housing. While there are variations, these participation rates are stable over time. As shown in Figure 4, it seems that for both groups, women tend to have a slightly higher propensity to live in social housing than men. These relationships also hold for UK-nationals compared to foreign-nationals.
Figure 4
The Centre for Economic Performance (2010) estimates that migrants are 5% less likely than the UK-born to be in social housing on arrival after controlling for migrant's characteristics. They also find that the probability of migrants using social housing benefits increases by 0.08% per year in the UK.
While there are no major differences in the use of social housing between the foreign-born and the UK-born populations, there have been claims in the popular press that migrants often receive priority status in the allocation of social housing. Several studies have failed to find evidence supporting this claim (e.g. Battiston et al. 2014, Rutter and Latorre 2009, Robinson 2010). However, some migrant groups are more likely to have the characteristics required to gain priority for social housing and this is one of the reasons for the claim that migrants often receive priority status. Social housing allocation policies vary by location, making it difficult to generalise these findings.
Evidence suggests that immigration decreases house prices in England and Wales
Sá (2015) finds that immigration has a negative effect on house prices in England and Wales. Her estimates suggest that a 1% increase in the migrant share the population in an area reduces house prices by almost 2%. The author suggests that this dynamic is the result of UK-born residents moving out of areas with increasing migrant concentration. The negative effect of immigration on house prices is particularly strong in areas in areas with a large concentration of low-educated migrants.
Evidence gaps and limitations
Immigration may also affect the mix of houses sold at any point in time. For instance, immigration may lead to an increase in additional sales of low quality houses, which when considered as a whole may suggest a reduction in the average price of houses in the area but it is the result of a change in the mix of houses in the market. Given the lack of information on the prices of the houses that are currently out of the market there remains great uncertainty about the impact of immigration on house prices. In addition, while immigration may affect the price of housing in a certain area, it is likely that the price of housing affects immigration decisions. Therefore, it is challenging to establish a causal relationship between the price of housing and the level of immigration. Finally, wealthy foreign citizens own a considerable share of London's high-end property market, yet there is not much information about the impact of immigration at the top end of the housing market.

About Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office provides industrial-strength productivity tools across a variety of platforms, including Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and the Web. The Office suite is available for download as part of an Office 365 subscription, as a one-time purchase, or as a free trial. You can also use Office Online for free. If you are part of a group, or if you hop between devices as you work on documents, Office is invaluable.
Which apps are in the Microsoft Office suite?
Microsoft's burly suite includes these industry-standard productivity applications:
Many of the apps are available across platforms and devices, letting you view and edit files on PCs, Macs, tablets, and phones. The newest versions have hooks into the cloud, so you can store, edit, and sync your Office files through the OneDrive cloud storage service.
Can you get Microsoft Office as a free download?
You can download a free one-month copy as part of an Office 365 trial. The trial version gives you full access to all the Office 365 apps and features.
If you don't need all the bells and whistles, try Office Online, the browser-based version, which provides many of same capabilities as the Windows and Mac productivity apps. Office Online is free and lets you edit, share, and store your documents in the cloud.
Other ways to get Microsoft Office
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook (and Publisher and Access with the Windows collection) come with an Office 365 subscription, which includes 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and 60 monthly Skype minutes. Subscriptions start at $6.99 per month.
Alternatively, you can buy Office 2016 as a one-time purchase, which comes with OneDrive and Skype. However, it's probably more cost-effective to subscribe, and you get better cross-device benefits, too -- check out the cons of buying vs. subscribing.
Can you download an older version of Office?
As you might expect, Microsoft would like to you download and use the most recent versions of its software. But if you have an existing product key for an earlier version of Office, you can still grab a copy of Office 2007, Office 2010, and Office for Mac 2011.
If you are looking for Office 2013, you can download it with an existing product key and then, if you want, upgrade to Office 2016.
Be aware that Microsoft products have a support lifecycle -- keep that in mind when thinking about whether to upgrade.
Free alternatives to Microsoft Office
If your productivity app needs are modest but you still want to create and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, you have a handful of free options.

AURORA — On paper, the Chatfield Chargers were supposed to be fed to the Wolves Feb. 24. Seeded 10th in the Alice Barron Region of the Class 5A state tournament, the Chargers were set to be just a blip on Grandview's road to the second round. On paper, the Chargers were just that. Chatfield's season came to an end with a 57-33 defeat. It wasn't very close from the first quarter on, but one could only wonder what the Chargers could have done had they taken better care of the ball. Turnovers. Turnovers.
A Littleton man was sentenced to 40 years in prison last week following a guilty plea to charges related to a 2009 attack on a 59-year-old woman in her South Jeffco home.
Ryan Iliff, 23, admitted to failed attempts to gain access to another area home earlier on June 26, 2009. He gave up and went to the house next door, broke in and sexually assaulted the woman in her bedroom.
Redemption was a process rather than a moment for Brent Terrell.
The Dakota Ridge junior guard missed a free throw and a chance to give the Eagles a one-point lead over Columbine with 8.5 seconds remaining Feb. 19. But he came back in overtime to cash two free throws with 13.9 seconds left to tie the game.
He wasn't finished.
John Sherman stole the ball in the final seconds and passed ahead to Terrell, who drilled a running 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Eagles a stunning 55-52 victory and season sweep of the rival Rebels.
High schoolers get a head start on March Madness as the Class 5A state basketball playoffs begin this week, with first-round action tipping off Feb. 23.
Here's a look at where your local teams are going, and who they must get past to advance through the field of 48 teams.
Chatfield boys (19-4)
The Chargers are the No. 2 seed in the Glenn Wilson Region, making them one of the top eight teams overall — a pretty fair seed for the Jeffco champs.
The Columbine girls all got first-year coach Sam Murillo a broom for his birthday.
The Rebels completed a season sweep of the Dakota Ridge Eagles for the first time in school history Feb. 19 with a 45-38 victory on the Eagles' home floor.
"It's pretty exciting," Rebels forward Maddie Tedford said. "And it's our coach's birthday today."
The Chatfield hockey team saw it season come to an end after a dramatic back-and-forth 4-3 loss Feb. 19 to Lewis-Palmer in Colorado Springs.
The 11th-seeded Chargers (7-6-1) never led the No. 6 Rangers (11-3-0), but rallied three times to tie the game at Sertich Ice Center, before the Rangers scored the game-winner in the third period.
Major activities/sports:
• Golf: Qualified for U.S. Junior Amateur; Junior World; first-team All-Conference, four years; All-State, three years; second-first at Regional High School Tournament; first-second at Regional High School Tournament; 10th-, fifth-, and fourth-place finishes at CHSSA state tournament; fifth-place finish at Nationals. Optimist International.
Work experience: Raccoon Creek cart staff
• Current GPA: 3.6
• Multiple AP and honors courses including AP Calculus this year
When Dakota Ridge High art teacher Alex Chick wanted to persuade her students that they could actually make a living from a career in art, she did so by bringing Colorado's most famous contemporary nature photographer to the school.
John Fielder delivered a slide-show lecture filled with his thoughts on color and form Feb. 18 in the school's auditorium.
Many high school students dream of traveling the world after graduation, taking time to find themselves before plunging into another round of formal education at college.
But a lack of cash and a surplus of convention mean that many grads never take the road less traveled.
DENVER - Tony Pena needed 14 seconds to swell with confidence in his state championship match. With 16 seconds left in the bout, the Chatfield 130-pound junior allowed himself to feel elation.

LEWISTOWN - Five minutes into the second half of what was still a scoreless game between Cumberland Valley and Mifflin County, the Huskies' goalie, Jordan Myers, was playing a ball well into the circle when an Eagles player got behind her, but the reliable backstop got back into position and kept her team in the game.
Ten minutes after that, she was not so lucky - Cumberland Valley's Emma Way got behind Myers, and tallied the first goal of the contest.
It help up as the winner in a 2-0 Commonwealth Division field hockey outcome favoring the visiting Eagles.

Sentinel photo by BRADLEY KREITZER
Cumberland Valley's Carly Kissinger, right, leaps to avoid a ball struck by Mifflin County's Marissa Byler Monday in Lewistown. Behind the play are Mifflin County's Kezia Loht (6) and Grace Wagner (29). See more photos online at cu.lewistownsentinel.com
Myers, who saved the Huskies' bacon more than once in the contest, could hardly be faulted for the ball getting in the cage.
"I think she has to use her best judgment and I trust her to do that," said Chelsea Zook, Mifflin County assistant coach who stood for Tish Maclay on Monday. "She's a good goalie. It would be hard to make that decision."
But it forced the Huskies into a scramble that went the remaining 16 minutes without producing a score; the Eagles added a meaningless goal with 30 seconds left on the clock when Madi Sauve got her stick on a deflected ball during sustained play in the circle.
From the outset, it looked like a game in which scoring would be at a minimum. Part of the problem was beyond the control of either team - the field is not in the same lush condition it was at this time a year ago, and it showed when the ball bounced wildly at times, often leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.
But there was also a lack of focus by players from both teams. There was plenty of motion - offensive motion - but nothing that put the ball in peril of hitting the back of the goal. Cumberland Valley's passing looked sharper in the early going, but Mifflin County turned that around, too.
"They played probably the best game I've seen them play all year," Zook said of her squad. "They passed a lot better, for sure. And they were just more intense."
That intensity created some early opportunities for the Huskies, who drew a trio of penalty corners in the middle of the first, but were unable to capitalize. Cumberland Valley also had a pair of corners in the first; only one produced a shot and it was a doozy, but the stroke went wide.
The Eagles showed more spunk after the break and eventually had the Huskies playing less to score than to prevent one.
"That's where we struggled a little bit," Zook admitted. "We played a more defensive (game), more 'Let's not let them score.' You have to score to win."
After the first goal, Cumberland Valley realigned into hockey's version of the prevent defense, and while the Huskies had chances, they were few and far between. Instead, the Eagles rode the slim lead to the final minute when the final goal was scored.
Mifflin County (1-5, 1-3) hits the road for a pair of Mid-Penn competitions this week, the first at Carlisle Wednesday.

The military coup in Egypt is a stand against Islamism. Islamism is a movement built on the despair many Muslims feel about the injustices of their society today. They hark back to a time when Islam meant supremacy and prosperity. The past was not a triumph like that, needless to say, and fantasy of the kind cannot contribute anything to modern life. Muhammad Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were in the process of instituting disaster. The military may well prove to have no political competence, but theirs will be a disaster easier to rectify.
The ideology of Islamism, the strength of the despair driving it, means that force is the sole way to stop its spread. The recent turmoil in Turkey was a dry run for a military coup against Islamism. Civil war in Syria is another by-product of Islamism. The ideology, in sum, can contribute nothing except confrontation, coups, and bloodshed.
Until now, the United States has been reasonably effective at projecting the requisite power to keep peace in the Middle East. Islamism was contained in the Egypt of Presidents Sadat and Mubarak. However, failure to devise a policy that stopped the Islamism of Iran created a vacuum into which rushed the various versions of the ideology. After his election, President Obama signalled that the United States will from now on do little or nothing to restrain Islamism. The father of today's military coup, therefore, Obama is responsible for what is coming to Egypt, the tyranny or the anarchy.
A footnote. Channel Four, Britain's public service television channel, is to broadcast the call to prayer during Ramadan. The program director, a Mr. Lee, proclaims that he is doing this as a provocation, by which he means that he wants to show Islam to be merely peaceful. This is part and parcel of the steady abandoning of British culture, not a provocation at all but a propitiation that derives from craven fear.

An Amarillo man remained in the Randall County jail Friday evening on charges of aggravated kidnapping and deadly conduct.
Police said they received a call about 2:45 a.m. Friday that two teens ages 17 and 18 were walking near Western Street and Paramount Boulevard when Adam Richard Lewis, 26, forced them at gunpoint to get into a pickup.
The two teens told officers that Lewis took them to their home.
While driving the teens home, police allege Lewis fired at an Amarillo business located in the 4500 block of Tradewind Street several times. Police said they recovered bullets at the scene.
No one was injured.
Randall County jail officials said Lewis was being held on $101,500 bond.

2nd Quarter 2012 Commentary - ASTON/Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund
2nd Quarter 2012
Macroeconomic Uncertainty
Following a strong first quarter, equity markets again fell back on concerns about the financial stability of the euro zone and slower economic growth. Apprehension about the policies of a new government in Greece dominated the news from Europe, while growth in China slowed significantly and the U.S. economy grew at a lackluster rate. This uncertainty continues to give companies pause in making investments in facilities or people, and it has created volatility in financial markets worldwide as investors react to the headlines.
This market volatility was certainly evident in the month-to-month performance of the Fund during the second quarter. Both the portfolio and the its S&P MidCap 400 Index benchmark were down in April and May, but recovered during the last two weeks of June to end the period on a strong, positive note. What is important to realize is that our long-term focus and discipline aided us in not overreacting to the short-term volatility early in the quarter in keeping the Fund positioned to benefit from the June surge. We remain focused on investments in companies with positive long-term outlooks and attractive valuations. Over time, we think our process has worked, as evidenced by the Fund's multi-year track record.
Long-term Holdings Contribute
Several long-time holdings in the portfolio benefited from our patience, boosting returns in June and minimizing the Fund's earlier underperformance during the quarter. Home healthcare services provider Lincare Holdings rose substantially, driven by takeover speculation that ultimately proved correct. (On July 2, 2012, Linde AG, a German gases and engineering company, announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Lincare.) The merger allows Linde to expand its market base considerably in the United States. We are encouraged by this announcement and believe that other recently announced acquisitions could be the beginning of a renewed trend as larger multinational companies look to the U.S. for "growth by acquisition".
The New York Times Company was the second best performer during the quarter as the company announced first quarter results that were better than consensus estimates. Circulation revenues increased 10%. The launch of digital products and new platforms has been very successful, with the company reporting more than 470,000 paid digital subscriptions (up 16% since the fourth quarter). Southwest Airlines benefitted from moderating fuel prices and a recent analyst recommendation as the third best contributor to performance.
The worst performing stocks during the second quarter were FMC Technologies, Lexmark International, BorgWarner, Manpower Group, and Akamai Technologies. With the exception of Akamai, all suffered owing to concerns about worldwide economic growth, with international revenues accounting for more than 50% of proceeds for each of those companies. Akamai, with 28% of revenues from non-U.S. markets, was affected more by concerns regarding the firm's gross margins, which we think are overblown. We are encouraged by the recent, significant purchases of additional company shares by a founder of Akamai.
Buys and Sells
We added two new stocks to the portfolio during the second quarter—NVIDIA and Cree. NVIDIA is a leading supplier of graphics processors used in electronic devices from smart phones and tablets to supercomputers. We expect more use of graphics processors as demand for fast, high-quality graphics increases on all devices. The stock has been under pressure recently from supply constraints on a new generation of chips, but we anticipate supply and demand increasing during the coming year potentially resulting in improved earnings.
Cree uses proprietary technology to produce semiconductors and LED components, LED chips, and LED lighting products. We believe that the demand for LED lighting products will increase significantly over the next several years. LED lighting is considerably more energy efficient than incandescent lighting and lasts years longer than traditional bulbs, resulting in significantly lower operating costs. The company reorganized its sales and distribution earlier this year, which had a negative impact on revenues and earnings. We think the transition is mostly complete, and expect higher revenues and earnings in future quarters.
CA was the only holding sold during the period. The stock hit our price target much quicker than anticipated. As concerns about a declining backlog developed during the second quarter concerns, we decided that there was little upside left at its current valuation and exited the position with a healthy gain.
While economic growth worldwide remains uncertain, Europe appears to be making progress towards stabilizing its financial situation. In the U.S., we see signs of improved economic activity as June car sales jumped 22% and the housing market appeared to be strengthening. Lower gasoline prices should have a positive impact on consumer spending and confidence.
Although the second quarter underperformance was disappointing, we have experienced similar instances of short-term market volatility. We believe that the U.S. stock market has discounted many of the macroeconomic issues that are out there, and view the portfolio as attractively valued based on company fundamentals. During the 13 years we have managed the Fund, we have only seen the overall portfolio with a lower price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio three times (October 2002, October 2008, and September 2011), giving us confidence in current valuations.
Rather than abandon a rational investment process during volatile periods, we remain focused and committed to the process that has served us well. We believe the portfolio is well positioned, and that our patience will be rewarded over time.

I read the title and "swear to God" I read no further. I would like to purpose that procrastination is a necessary evil. There are things in life that we can not procrastinate upon. Good food, good sleep, and good FEELING.....yes good feeling. Should the world (or your life) end tomorrow what would be the most important thing to accomplish today? I'm gonna go ahead and put sex at the top of my list. Am I crazy? I think not. So sex and anything that could lead to such is the first and formost thought of surviving the day right? Well, that puts things into perspective right? That is why I attended that all night party (trying to get laid) rather than studying for a biochem final! EZ PZ. I have solved all your procrastination questions....well except for the mountains of psychological ineptitude and self destruction given from some lack of love as a child or some other such theory.
How to beat it? I say DON'T! Embrace the cram session mindset. It did me well all through my years of college. Nothing brings out ingenuity and or genius like a deadline. We achieve greatness under pressure IMO. That is why our current society is changing so fast. We are perpetuating this ideal. Is it good for progress.....I'm sure it is....what has it left for health...I'm not sure. (This was timed at 5 minutes and 12 seconds....goal was under 8 minutes for a reply).

Scarlett, Rhett en Pointe
It's been a mega-novel, a mega-movie, the source of some tepid stage musical versions and some anemic print and made-for-TV sequels, but never has "Gone With the Wind" been a ballet. Until now. The Atlanta Ballet has announced that its 2002-03 season will include the world premiere of a $12 million full-length dance work based on Margaret Mitchell's tale of the Old South. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that plans for the ballet -- which, like the 1939 movie that starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara, will distill all 1,037 pages of the novel -- are still embryonic. But the ballet company's artistic director John McFall is considering talent from all over the world. (The familiar music from the movie will reportedly not appear in the ballet.) Without going so far as to say Mammy will appear in tights, McFall tells the paper (where Margaret Mitchell herself once worked as a reporter): "What intrigued me is that in ballet we usually don't talk. I think that's why 'Gone With the Wind' can be successful . . . Because you don't have to speak, we're not competing with the movie."

The occurrence of an isolated palatine paralysis as the only paralytic manifestation of an attack of acute poliomyelitis is rare. Literature contains only one reference to a similar instance, as observed by Ivan Wickman1 and recorded in his classic monograph. The details of the symptomatology are not given.

A tonsillectomy had been performed, September 15, but she recovered well from the operation and was not observed to have any signs of difficulty in swallowing or of regurgitation through the nose until the onset of the present illness. September 29, five days before admission, the patient complained of headache. On the following day, she had difficulty in swallowing liquids and her

The Early Textual History of Lucretius' De rerum naturaby David Butterfield
This is the first detailed analysis of the fate of Lucretius' De rerum natura from its beginnings in the 50s BC down to the creation of our earliest extant manuscripts during the Carolingian age. A detailed investigation of the knowledge of Lucretius' poem among writers throughout the Roman, and subsequently the medieval, worlds allows fresh insight into the work's readership and reception, and an assessment of the value of the indirect tradition for editing the poem. The first extended analysis of the 170+ subject headings (capitula) that intersperse the text reveals the close engagement of Roman readers. A fresh inspection and assignation of marginal hands in the poem's most important manuscript provides new evidence about the work of Carolingian correctors and the basis for a new Lucretian stemma codicum. Further clarification of the interrelationship of Renaissance manuscripts of Lucretius gives additional evidence of the poem's reception in fifteenth-century Italy.

APJ Abdul Kalam supports FDI in retail
The former president said as long as India can build the capacity of aggressiveness in marketing and competitiveness, FDI is not a dangerous thing.
Kolkata: Pitching for foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail, former president APJ Abdul Kalam on Sunday said the country should build capacity for aggressively marketing its products at the global level.
Averring that the factors separating the developed and the developing world were "aggressive marketing" and "competitiveness", Kalam said: "As long as we can build the capacity of aggressiveness in marketing and competitiveness, FDI is not a dangerous thing."
Addressing a function organised by the Bharat Chamber of Commerce, Kalam said: "The developed (world) wants to sell its goods to all the developed countries as well as the developing countries. The developing countries like us, we want to market our products. Both of them want to market their products. The common link is competitiveness and aggressive marketing."
Commenting on movements resisting nuclear power, Kalam said, he had visited the site of the nuclear energy park at Tamil Nadu's Kudankulam. "I know it to be one of the safest plants with four safety barriers that are inter-locked."
"I am against fossil fuels. I am for nuclear power, solar power, wind power and hydel power," he said.

As glorious as 2008 was for Bret Munsey, 2012 has been a disaster. It started with a player walkout hours before the season opener and hasn't gotten much better.
Munsey was the head coach when the Soul won the 2008 Arena Football League title. He is currently in his first season as the head coach of the Orlando Predators.
"It's been an uphill battle since Day 1," he said. "We just haven't gotten the quarterback play you have to get to win games in this league. We haven't gotten consistency at that position and the offense has struggled because of it."

Like many of us, I have been tracking my cholesterol over time. Here are my levels and I was hoping to get some feedback and also ask a question.
period: Jul-09, Feb-11, Sep-11
total: 178, 193, 226
ldl: 123, 127, 160
hdl: 34, 43, 51
trig: 107, 115, 73
tc/hdl: 5.2, 4.5, 4.4
trig/hdl: 3.1, 2.7, 1.4
ldl/hdl: 3.6, 3.0, 3.1
A little background: Between Jul-09 and Feb-11 I did Zone and lost a few pounds but the main thing I notice was much better management of my cravings. Zone also made me realize that giving up carbs was in fact doable - as many of you know that simple fact is hard to fathom on conventional diets.
So in Sep-2011 I started Primal (eating and fitness) - so far I've lost around 25lbs down to 270lbs.
My latest cholesterol report had all kinds of warnings on it due to my levels being out of range. It can be unnerving but after reading posts on this forum I'm not too worried - so thank you for taking the time to help out us newbs! I was really surprised at how far the trig/hdl ratio dropped.
My question is to those who have been doing PB for some time - how long do your levels take to err umm level out? Is there a period of say months/years where your levels generally stopped changing?

Comments about DDF Nourishing Eye Cream, .5 oz:
After trying several brand name eye creams this is the only one that helped repair the area around my eyes. I have allergies, and during the colder months my eye area tends to get red and very dry. Some products, including a prescription, only made the area worse. I avoided eye cream all together until I found this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Troopers also issued 9,149 speeding citations and arrested 351 motorists for driving under the influence.
Of the 661 crashes investigated by state police, 77 crashes, including two fatal crashes, were alcohol-related.

Another challenging weekend ahead for Villa fans - blog
As Aston Villa head into another challenging weekend, Villa blogger Matt Turvey asks if fans of the Birmingham club should be hopeful this weekend.
It isn't often that a fan can feel optimistic despite having his team beaten late on by a goal that meant no points and yet another loss for his club.
However, Aston Villa is no ordinary club as any long term fan will know.
The loss to Manchester United was galling in a sense, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side have been a bogey team for Villa for a long time, with the last home win for the Villans being in 1995, way back when I was still (technically) a child.
However, getting back to the game last weekend, there was much to hearten any ardent Villa fan. Sure, nobody likes to lose games and points, but Villa performance showed that, assuming the club can put in similar performances going forwards, everything should be OK this season.
Of course, one game does not make a season, and many may suggest it is foolhardy to make such a statement especially considering that Villa lost that particular match, and that lost games don't make for positive steps in the league.
However, the performance against United was good enough that only a few teams in the league could have bettered it, the red team from Manchester being one.
The challenge for Villa is to keep that level of performance up, especially considering that Manchester's other team - Manchester City - are the next team up as Villa's opponents.
Villa had a great result against City earlier in the season as they ran out unexpected 5-2 winners in the Capital One Cup with a strong performance to go with it.
However, the league cup is not synonymous with the league, and whilst I am reticent to believe Roberto Mancini's protestations following the loss that "this competition isn't our focus this season", the Citizens will play a stronger team this weekend.
The key to Villa getting anything from this weekend? Freedom from pressure.
It is very easy to say such a thing, but rather harder to actually deliver it. Over the past few seasons, Villa have suffered crises of identity and confidence.
Against United, Villa's shakiness, even when two goals to the good, shined through like a beacon. If Villa are to develop this season, this shaky confidence must be stabilised.
At least Villa's identity under Paul Lambert is, slowly but surely, being clarified.
After changing tactics and ideologies from the Martin O'Neill era, through Gerard Houllier's ill-fated season, and into Alex McLeish's single season in charge, it was easy to believe that Villa had no idea what to do with the ball.
Such a criticism may well seem harsh, but under differing managers, the football ethea have been strikingly different, moving from counter-attacking under O'Neill, to continental slow passing football under Houllier, to a "defence first" logic under McLeish.
It isn't until ten games into the season under Lambert, that we're starting to see the hallmarks of Villa's current manager's style - combining some of the best attributes of both O'Neill and Houllier.
The difference with Lambert from the two aforementioned managers is that he both knows how to direct his team in a passing style, but also rotates teams, rarely suffering slacking well as the exclusion of Darren Bent illustrates perfectly.
Against City, Lambert's team will need to display a hard working ethos - one that will continue to exclude Bent, "injury" or not - as the Premier League champions will be a tough force to overcome. They are, however, beatable given the right circumstances.
Much of Villa's fate will revolve around Christian Benteke, a man who has seamlessly gone from relative unknown in the eyes of many fans to the team's key player, contributing goals, assists, and workrate, at the same time giving many fans enough reason to forget about the club's current number nine.
The difference between Benteke and Bent is that the Belgian international is just as predatory and prolific as Villa's number nine, but with a non-stop work ethic that makes his selection a very easy choice.
If there is to be one winner in the competition between the similarly named Benteke and Bent, it looks increasingly likely to be Villa's number 20, as single dimensional poachers look alienated in something of a repeat of Bent's final months at Tottenham Hotspur.
Should Villa manage to work and press hard against City, a result is feasible, albeit far from a certainty. However, whatever happens, Villa will likely see more of the same as Lambert's transformation of the team in less than £20m looks to continue.
The wins may not be flowing yet but, going off the performance last week, a solid run should not be too far into the future.

For the past eight years, the Delgado baseball team has looked forward to a particular stretch of games on its schedule.
It's not in the confines of Kirsch-Rooney Stadium in New Orleans, where Delgado (15-2) is 12-0 this season. Instead, the Dolphins - ranked No. 3 in the NJCAA Division I poll - are headed to Disney World for the ninth straight season.
Delgado will participate in the Walt Disney World Spring Training tournament March 5-8, a three-day, six-game tournament in Orlando, Fla.
Delgado coach and athletic director Joe Scheuermann said playing in Disney World again will challenge the Dolphins early. They play just two days at home in March after opening the season with 12 of their first 14 games at Kirsch-Rooney Stadium.
"It's a good trip, makes our club bond and has really been a bright spot on our schedule," said Scheuermann, who won his 800th game Feb. 22 against College of DuPage.
"It's something the kids look forward to and something I look forward to as a measuring stick. We're able to find out a little bit more about our club when we're on the road, and the caliber of teams we play (at Disney World) gives us a good test, too."
Delgado ranks 4th in the NJCAA in batting average (.366), sixth in slugging percentage (.542) and 4th in runs scored (165). The Dolphins have a 3.26 team ERA, led by sophomore right-hander Scott Stonestreet (3-0) and freshman left-hander Brooks Vial (2-0).
Sophomore left-hander and Florida State transfer Jordan Priddle is back from Tommy John surgery and is off to a 2-0 start in five appearances, including a no-decision in the Dolphins' 6-1 season-opening loss at State College of Florida.
Priddle said beginning the season with a loss on the road before spouting off 12 straight wins actually should benefit Delgado headed into Disney World.
"The road is gonna be a little different than home obviously, but we started out (on a neutral site), so we have a little bit of experience there," Priddle said. "I don't think it's gonna faze us at all really. With the way we're hitting, it doesn't matter if we're home or away, or playing on Mars, we're gonna hit the ball. That's what's really going for us right now."
Delgado most recently split a doubleheader against Pensacola State Feb. 28, using its offense to win that Friday and the day before in extra innings, including a 5-run outburst in the 13th inning this past Thursday. Sophomore catcher Chris Eades said Delgado has a better idea of its team identity after losing that season opener.
"The first game opening day we were playing a little bit out of control. We had it going through four (innings) and then ended up giving it away," Eades said. "But the best thing about the Florida trip is we play some pretty good competition.... We get to play on the fields down there, and it's a fun time for all the players just to get to know each other a lot better."
The Dolphins' first foe is ASA Brooklyn (3-1-1 Division I) in a doubleheader Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., followed by a Friday doubleheader vs. Division II Mott Community College at 1 p.m., and single games Saturday vs. Division III Gloucester County College (11 a.m.) and Division II Monroe Community College (4 p.m.)

As a registered dietitian, I'm always on the lookout for new products to keep things interesting, so here's a look at eight latest finds.
Most of the product websites have a product locator feature to find stores in your area that carry it. And if you don't see an item in your local grocery store or supplement store, you can always ask the manager to carry it.
Gardein Chik'n Strips are a meat-free chicken alternative made of soy protein, vital wheat gluten, a whole grain flour blend, and seasonings. What really sets it apart from the competition, however, is the relatively low carb content. A serving has just 3 to 4 grams of carbs and 15 to 19 grams of protein, compared to MorningStar Farms Grillers Chik'n Patty with 7 grams of carbs and a mere 9 grams of protein. And all of MorningStar Farms and Boca's breaded chik'n patties have far more carbs than protein. Try Gardein Chik'n Strips in a salad, a wrap, stir-fried, or just plain as a low-calorie, protein-rich meal or snack.
Victory Bar by Oh Yeah Nutrition has 200 calories, 21 grams of protein, 8 grams of sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. They're available in a variety of flavors like Vanilla Almond, Peanut Butter Chip, Fudge Brownie, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (my personal favorite). Look for them at fitness centers and supplement stores.
Cocotein Protein Coconut Water by Nature's Best is a 16-ounce bottle of potassium-rich coconut water with the added bonus of 20 grams of whey protein. The only drawback is that it's artificially sweetened with sucralose (Splenda), and personally, I don't think it needs any added sweetener at all. But it's still a great option for hydration, and a good source of protein.
Hippie Butter's Hemp Seed Butter has 145 calories, 11 grams of protein, and 7 grams of fiber per two-tablespoon serving – that's 25 percent fewer calories than peanut butter or almond butter, with 50 percent more protein and triple the fiber. Find it online at www.hippiebutter.com or make your own hemp seed butter by blending 1 to 1 ½ cups of hemp seeds with a tablespoon of canola oil or pecan oil and a dash of salt (optional).
Gia Russa Balsamic Glaze is a reduction of balsamic vinegar and concentrated grape must ('must' is the pressed juice from grapes that contains the skins, seeds, and stems). It's not new, but it's delicious and just 35 calories per tablespoon. I use it on everything from Greek yogurt to grilled vegetables, and even sashimi. It does have 6 grams of naturally occurring sugar per tablespoon, but a little goes a long way.
TCBY Almond Milk Frozen Yogurt is made with Silk almond milk, making it a great frozen yogurt alternative for those who are lactose intolerant. Keep in mind, however, like most varieties of frozen yogurt, it's still primarily sugar (from sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, and corn syrup), so it's best suited as a sweet treat, not a stand-alone snack or meal replacement.
Nature Valley Protein Granola has 50 percent more protein, 30 percent less sugar, and more than twice as much fiber than many brands of granola. The calories are about the same, though (210 calories per half-cup serving), so portion control is still key.
Cytomax Sports Performance Drink Stick Packs by CytoSport are convenient for endurance athletes as well as kids participating in after-school sports - just add a packet to your water bottle pre, during, and post-exercise. They're rich in electrolytes and contain ingredients to help buffer acid production in the muscles, which can reduce the burning sensation during intense training and can minimize post-workout soreness. Sweetened with stevia, these sports drink packs are lower in sugar than other typical sports drinks, and contain no artificial colors or sweeteners.

Georgia Crossover Day Abortion: Georgia Sen. Judson Hill, R–Marietta, applauds as a bill he sponsored restricting abortion coverage in plans available through the state health insurance exchange is passed on the Senate floor, Monday, March 3, 2014, in Atlanta. State senators voted 35-18 to advance the bill, which now heads to the House for consideration. The federal health care law allows states to draft legislation prohibiting abortion coverage in qualified health plans offered through an exchange. Supporters of the Georgia effort say 24 states have done so. Democrats opposed the bill, calling it a continuation of a "war on women" and saying it infringes on a woman's right to choose.
