Asia's Low-Cost Airlines Look for Success
Airlines like AirAsia and SpiceJet are seeking growth through non-ticket revenue. The WSJ's Jeffrey Ng talks about what added costs passengers should expect when buying tickets from budget airlines.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It's a trend that every free society says it wants to reduce or reverse, in favor of greater socioeconomic equality.
But how? Rich people tend to be smarter than poor people. Thus on balance they should learn more, earn more, and invest better. The rich and smart also tend to marry each other, which implies that their advantages-from better genes to better parenting and higher-quality education-may become more concentrated with each generation. They are in a virtuous circle. The poor, meanwhile, appear to be trapped in a vicious one.
Free public education seems like one way out of this trap. But although US children have had access to taxpayer-funded K-12 schooling for many decades, that hasn't stopped the country's socioeconomic divide from growing worse in recent years.
Could brain science come to the rescue? It seems an unlikely notion. Yet scientists in recent years have been uncovering potentially treatable factors, such as chronic stress, that likely help keep people at a low socioeconomic status (SES) by impairing their cognitive abilities.
The stress factor
Greater stress-from greater environmental noise, violence and abuse, poor parenting, and general disorder-has long been considered one of the unfortunate features of low-SES life. Stress is also a factor that can impair cognition. "We know that early life stress for rats results in lifelong diminished learning ability," says Martha J. Farah, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives.
Similar experiments on humans haven't been feasible, for ethical reasons. But Farah notes that there have been some "natural experiments" on humans, involving changes in ambient stressors such as noise. "When an airport was relocated in Germany, resulting in one town's schoolchildren being relieved of the airplane noise and another town's children becoming chronically exposed, test scores went up in the first town and down in the second," she says.
In another study, published in 2011, measures of cognitive ability among students in the US fell after local unemployment levels rose-most likely due to "reduced income and increased distress," concluded the authors. Joblessness also has been linked to faster cognitive decline in middle age.
The stress response involves the release of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), steroid hormones such as aldosterone and cortisol, adrenaline, and various other compounds. This response apparently evolved as an adaptation to improve our chances of survival amid adversity. But its activation-especially long-term activation-can bring about changes that weaken cognitive ability. Indeed, cortisol-like steroid drugs are known to have cognitive and psychiatric side-effects, and in rare cases can even cause a reversible "steroid dementia" syndrome.
Many brain regions contain neurons with receptors for stress response compounds, and thus in principle can be altered by stress. But the cognitive impact of stress seems to fall hardest on a few specific regions.
One is the hippocampus, which mediates the storage and retrieval of new declarative and spatial memories. Animal studies have found that stress or the application of stress hormones shrinks the dendrite "trees" through which hippocampal neurons receive inputs, dials down the production of new hippocampal neurons (neurogenesis), and on the whole shrinks this brain region.
The "executive" regions of the prefrontal cortex, and the emotion-mediating amygdala, also seem quite sensitive to stress. Stress evidently weakens the prefrontal regions that normally regulate the amygdala, allowing the latter to become more active and sensitive to emotional stimuli: The brain essentially shifts from a slower, more thoughtful mode to a faster, more impulsive and instinctive one. If the stress abates, cognitive ability may soon return to normal. But a very long-term stress during childhood, when prefrontal regions are still developing, might leave key cognitive functions such as impulse control, attentional capacity, and working memory permanently impaired. A brain-imaging study published late last year suggested as much: In a sample of 24-year olds, those who had lived in poverty and under long-term stress years before, as children, now showed less amygdala-regulating ability on average-but their impairment was unrelated to their current incomes.
Similarly, Cornell University researchers found in 2009 that a low-SES childhood was associated with a lower working memory capacity in young adulthood, and found evidence that the linkage was "mediated by elevated levels of chronic stress during childhood:" More stress led to even lower capacity. In 2011, researchers at Pennsylvania State University reported that a higher level of the stress hormone cortisol in the saliva of low-SES babies aged 7-24 months predicted worse executive functioning and IQ when the same children reached the age of three years. Their analysis suggested that traditionally recognized factors such as poor parenting affect a child's later cognitive abilities in part by raising his or her cortisol levels.
In 2012, Columbia University researcher Kimberly G. Noble and colleagues reported on an MRI study of children in which the researchers linked smaller hippocampal volume to lower parental income, and larger amygdala volume to lower parental education-both changes being consistent with the idea that low-SES situations tend to involve stress-induced cognitive impairment. And late last year, Farah and her colleagues reported that the MRI-measured thickness of two prefrontal regions in children was significantly determined by the mother's education level, a common marker of SES: More maternal education meant thicker prefrontal structures. "The two [mechanisms] that seem most likely are higher levels of chronic stress and lower levels of cognitive stimulation in the childhood experience of low-SES individuals," Farah says.
How much does maternal stress affect children when they are still in the womb? In which phases of development is the brain most sensitive to stress? And can the cognitive impact of chronic stress throughout childhood ever be reversed? These are among the questions that still need to be answered. Once they are, says Farah, "we'll be in a better position to think about interventions to promote neurocognitive flourishing in poor children."
Noble is finishing up a long-running study of SES and cognitive ability that is designed to address such issues. "We're measuring brain structure but we're also looking at various aspects of the home environment such as the home language environment, and stressful conditions," she says. "We're hoping to get a better sense of what are the explanatory factors that mediate these links between SES and particular brain regions."
A bandwidth-reduction effect?
Scientists recently have described a cognition-impairing effect of low-SES lives that resembles the effect of acute stress but seems to occur independently-and perhaps even more immediately within the brain.
In an experiment reported in Science last September, researchers did cognitive tests on 101 visitors to a New Jersey shopping mall, having first prompted their subjects to worry about their finances with hypothetical scenarios involving car-repair costs. The two cognitive tests used were a standard IQ-type reasoning test and a test of mental impulse-inhibition ability, or "cognitive control." Particularly after being prompted with high-repair-cost scenarios, the relatively poor mall-goers performed significantly worse on both tests than the richer ones did.
For a follow-on experiment in a more realistic financial setting, the scientists conducted the same cognitive tests on 464 small-scale sugar-cane farmers in India, before and after a harvest. On average, the farmers tended to score significantly worse before the harvest, when they were relatively short of cash, and better afterwards, when they had been paid for their crops. The researchers used statistical methods to control for (i.e., to eliminate the effects of) various confounding factors-such as differences in available time, and feelings of stress-in order to isolate a feeling-poor vs. feeling-rich effect.
How could a feeling of relative poverty decrease cognitive ability so swiftly and directly? The researchers hypothesize that when someone worries, even unconsciously, about not having enough money, the worrying ends up consuming some of the person's limited cognitive capacity, or "bandwidth."
"We think that when people face scarcity on any dimension, and in this particular case on the money dimension, it tends to involuntarily capture their attention, and thus there is much less bandwidth available for other tasks," says Anandi Mani, a researcher at the University of Warwick (UK) who was the lead author of the study.
The results seem broadly consistent with previous findings that cognition is a limited resource, which may be depleted by use, at least temporarily. In experiments, people who are forced to exert self-control-a key aspect of executive functioning of day-to-day adult decision-making-show evidence of having less of it on later tasks. As some researchers have argued, poverty is a state so bandwidth intensive that it may deplete self-control particularly quickly.
Mani and her colleagues plan further experiments, for example to look at poverty's effect on short-term versus long-term decision-making, as well as on parenting decisions. But already her work and others' in this area suggests that governments take this limited-cognitive-resource model into account when making policies that affect the poor. The idea, she says, should be to "to try to reduce the mental load that is imposed upon them"-by making paperwork easier, for example, or by sending reminders.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyDormice are well known for their habit of sleeping for much of the time. Their popular English name is thought to derive from the French word 'dormir' meaning 'to sleep'. Dormice are known to hibernate for as much as seven months of the year. At the onset of colder weather in October, the animals will select a suitable site close to the ground to build a nest. They then curl up and go to sleep until April. During hibernation, dormice slow down their bodily functions and enter a state of extreme torpor. In this state they feel cold to the touch and take some time to rouse themselves when handled. However, they do wake up periodically for a few hours at a time. They survive extended periods without food by living off stored reserves of fat laid down in the fruitful autumn months. Dormice feed high up in the trees on a variety of food. They eat flowers and pollen during the spring, fruit in summer and nuts, particularly hazel nuts, in autumn. It is thought that insects are taken too. This variety of food must be available within a small area, a requirement which limits the suitability of some sites for dormice. Dormice become sexually mature at one year old and their breeding season is from May to September. They produce between two and seven young and can raise two litters a year. The young dormice stay with their mother until they are about ten weeks old. As well as their grass-woven nests, dormice are known to use tree cavities and boxes for rearing young. They hibernate in nests built just below ground.

As the April 15 tax filing date draws closer, you may be like scores of other who find themselves somewhere between just about being finished and ready to go all the way to those who haven't even started the process yet.
So, you've waited until almost the last second to file your tax returns? Hey, I'm right there with you. I pretty much always extend my return, and generally file at the last possible moment each 15th of October!
As the April 15 tax filing date draws closer, you may be like scores of other who find themselves somewhere between just about being finished and ready to go all the way to those who haven't even started the process yet.
If you fall somewhere in that spectrum, I'd like to offer you some ideas and tips that may make things just a bit easier for you, help you minimize your tax burden and hopefully reduce the stress and associated risk of making costly mistakes that can occur especially when you are in a rush.
• Consider contributing to an IRA for last-minute tax savings. In some cases, it may make sense for you to contribute to a deductible IRA. Doing so can reduce your taxable income by as much as $5,000 per person (or $6,000 if you are 50 or older) and meet certain requirements. If you qualify, you have until April 15 to contribute to your IRA on behalf of last year and still take a deduction on your 2012 return.
• Don't go it alone. Consider getting some help from a professional to help prepare and file the return, or if you are more the DIY can of person, you can try tax software that will ease and speed the process. A professional tax preparer, such as a CPA, can help you realize the full benefit of all the credits and deductions to which you are entitled, with savings that often more than pay for their fee. Plus, you have the assurance of know someone is there to stand behind the return with you.
• Double-check everything. If information is omitted or a mistake is made, the processing of the tax return as well as any associated refund could be delayed. Be sure you check that all Social Security numbers are listed correctly, including dependents. Also, if paper filing, be sure all required forms and schedules are attached, as well as all W-2's and any 1099-R's that have tax withholding shown. Finally, make sure you sign your tax returns, as unsigned returns will be returned to you.
• File the tax return electronically and use direct deposit. The combination of e-filing with direct deposit can mean receiving the tax refund in weeks (or even days) rather than the months it may take to get a refund check in the mail after filing a paper return. Also, electronically filed returns do not have to be manually input by the IRS or the State into their systems, so the risk of coding errors, a major cause of tax notices, is virtually eliminated by filing electronically.
• If you overpaid your 2012 taxes, adjust your 2013 withholding. You may like the idea of getting a refund each year, but a large refund just means you are overpaying your taxes throughout the year and basically giving the government an unnecessary interest free loan. Adjusting your withholding can mean keeping more money in your pocket now, and is a sound financial management practice.
Lastly, remember that if you just can't get it done, you can always file for an extension of time to file (like I do) for up to six months. You do this by sending to the IRS Form 4868, and it's automatic, no questions asked.
Don't believe the myth that getting an extension somehow targets you for an audit; in fact, stats suggest just the opposite is true. Do, however, send payment if you think you are going to owe tax. An extension of time to file does NOT extend the due date for any payment due, so a good faith estimate of your tax liability is a must!
Any tax that remains unpaid will be subject to interest charges and a ½% per month late payment fee, although this year the IRS has said that the late payment fee may be waived if your tax return happens to contain one of the IRS forms whose release was delayed earlier this year due to the infamous New Years Day tax law change Congress and the President unloaded on us.

Favourite villain or Antagonist in anime
Who would be your favorite villian in a series or movie and why?
I would have to go with Sesshomaru myself from Inuyasha. At first I thought he was just another run of the mill bad guy but after awhile you begin to see hes more dynamic. You begin to see him more compassionate somewhat such as when he revives Rin with the tensaiga and he lets her follow him. His fight is usually with Inuyasha alone and doesn't bother with the other party members. From the episodes ive seen he tries to attack Kagome once after she shoots an arrow at him and he tells her to stop but instead she shoots a second arrow. No pointless killings from him unless there is something he wants. Whenever hes in an episode you can be sure its going to be a good one in my opinion.

When you say villian, you have to think of a bad man, one who would sell out his comrades, or kill his loved ones. Maybe even a conjunction of both. Or would a villian do this all in the name of obtaining his dream, even if it ment selling humanity out short.
There's only one, when I think of a great anime villian. One who goes beyond good and evil however. The face of a saint, even the heart of one to. He see's his actions as just. I speak of Griffith. He looks so friendly does'nt he ?

Ya.........I thought that Aoshi was the best villian in Rurouni Kenshin. But somewhat crazy at the same time. But doesnt the crazy, killer type of villian make the best ones. I mean look at Farforello from Weiss Kreuz he is a crazy, killer baddy, what makes him cool is that he cant feel pain......i mean that would be kewl not to feel pain

merely a ghost
Griffith is one of the most perfect villains ever. Sacrificing everything to acquire power. He's the perfect representation of a "raw" human being- always desiring for power. Manipulating his own friends, and then coldly killing them all to achieve his dream.
Vicious, from Cowboy Bebop, is a perfect villain too. A very strong man, both in intelligence and strength, who will do anything to achieve the greatest political power. He's more than a match to Spike Spiegel, as SwiftStar-san said. Everyone in the underground fears the single mention of his name.
Orochimaru. Although Naruto isn't nearly one of the best anime ever, it produced one of the best villains ever. And that's the cruel and cold Orochimaru. A man with no honor, who will sacrifice even the life of his father to achieve his ambitions. An egocentrical man who's a master at manipulating people and events. Someone who wants to achieve a true understanding of everything in this world, and is willing to sacrifice anything in order to fullfill his dream. Also, everyone, not only at the Hidden Leaf Village, but at the whole area of the 5 Great Countries piss their pants by hearing the single mention of "Orochimaru". Without a doubt one of the strongest ninja who ever lived, and by far the cruelest and coldest of them all.
Tetsuo. From the greatest manga ever, there needs to be one of the greatest villains ever. The paranoic Tetsuo is cruel, cold; even though being just a little child lost in sadness and sorrow after all. I like to separate Tetsuo into 3 "incarnations": the first and correct one, the second, cruel, cold and evil one (which's my favorite) and the third, "good boy" one. His second "incarnation" was the best of all. A rebel, a vicious villain, who would achieve enything through raw power. Also, his character design is one of the best I have ever seen (I was using an avatar of his not too long ago).
Shishio Makoto. The greatest villain in Rurouni Kenshin, IMO. Very strong, and a tactical genius. Wanted to achieve the greatest power that is to rule Japan, and then free it of the "Meiji scum". Shishio isn't a "villain", but an antagonist. Like Kenshin himself said once in the manga, only the time would prove if Shishio was right or wrong. He was an honored swordsman, who fought for his beliefs. He wanted the best for Japan (or at least he thought so), so he was willing to sacrifice people in order to achieve a "better land".
Friend. I don't know if it's really right to consider Friend as a villain, at least he's an antagonist after all. Friend from 20th Century Boys is a perfect antagonist. First, no one knows who is he, actually- everyone you meet in the manga is a suspect. Second, he's a genius. A genius in politics and tatics that made himself the most famous person of the world in a very short period of time. He managed to forfeit his own death, to achieve more power. A villain that can forfeit his image and lead everyone to believe he's actually the "good guy". He's indeed one of the best villains (I'd say even one of the best characters) that were ever produced.
What defines a good villain is, IMO, cruelty, coldness, evilness and intelligence. And every villain that I listed above have these qualities in abundance.

Best Villians?
I like a few...
*Dahji, from Soul Hunter. She was a puppet of Kun-lun. But she had style!
*Vicious, from Cowboy Bebop. One of the badass of anime. I simply love him. Sometimes he steal the show...
*Vincent, in Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira. I like this character a lot.
*Aion form Chrno Crusade. Is a devil, but a charming devil...too handsome.
*Naraku form Inuyasha. Bad just for be bad...but i need to say he had style too to be a villian.
*Makoto Shishio, one of the greatest characters ever created for Rurouni Kenshin. As Vicious said...he isn't a "villian", he had his own reason to be in the way he is.

This is a really tough question, mainly because 'villain' can be defined in so many ways, and often the best 'villains' aren't evil at all, but have every reason to be the person they are, and do not see themselves as villains. I find that much more interested than a 2 dimensional character who is evil for the sake of evil.
Britai, from Super Dimension Fortress Macross comes to mind. As head of the fleet sent to recover/destroy the Macross he is put in the role as 'head villain' for a large portion of the series. Much of that time is spent trying to complete his objectives, while at the same time mulling over what exactly it is he has encountered in these 'miclones', the humans. Also he has to deal with his own forces changing over time due to their encounters with human culture. Some growing more vicious and unstable, while others becoming more unreliable in battle, as they learn to appreciate what it is they have been sent to destroy.
As a character, he developes very nicely throughout the tv series, but gets shorted in the movie version of the story.
How about the Magnificent Ten? Perhaps the greatest collection of villains in all of anime! Alberto the Impact, Mask the Red, The Fabulous Fiztgeraldo! Nearly all of them get more developement in just a smidge of screen time than many anime villains get in an entire series. Most of all, Alberto, as one of the main characters in the entire Giant Robo OVA. His feud with Taisou, and his friendships and relationship with the other members of the Magnificent Ten.
How about the villains in Hades Project Zeorymer? This OVA was known for the incredible amount of developement each character got, all packed into a very small amount of time, yet still pulled off remarkably well.
How about Legend of the Galactic Heroes for some villains? Though, the lines are blurred in that series more than many. Two great empires fighting against each other, neither really being the 'bad' side, but with many corrupt officials, nobles, and whatnot forcing the show's heroes to clash time and again. Oberstein is not exactly someone I would consider a 'good guy', yet they still manage to give him some interesting personality quirks that round him out well.
Back to Macross, I found myself enjoying many of the 'villains' from Macross 7 well into the series. Then again, that show is pretty much all about the slow, yet realistic developement of the characters (even if the story itself is highly unrealistic, no one is arguing that). Gigil, especially, developed into one of my favourite characters in the show.

Agreed. A truly great villain, it's just as easy to hate him as it is easy to worship
him. Personally i detest him utterly, the only virtual being i hate more would be FF7's Sephiroth^^ Still, somehow i can't get rid of the feeling that revealing him as a villian is somewhat of a big spoiler for those who happened to just recently start Berserk while reading this thread...ah well
And now for the ultimate villain ever: Exel Saga's very own Il Palazzo-sama...
The very incarnation of a charismatic, villainous leader of a terroristic foundation (sort of..) with megalomaniac ambitions for world domination ( btw, something i gave up long ago, this whole "world dominance-thingy" is just a hassle....kids, don't try this at home )

Jennifer Love Hewitt: 'It's Not A Breakup Haircut!'
Responding to the buzz that ensued when she stepped out in a noticeably shorter 'do last week, the newly-single Jennifer Love Hewitt told PEOPLE, "I know everybody thinks it's a breakup haircut—but it's not." Dressed in a sexy, sparkling dress by 3.1 Phillip Lim at last night's grand opening of Esprit's new Manhattan flagship, the actress showed off the cropped, curly hairstyle that made its debut on the heels of her split from former boyfriend and Ghost Whisperer co-star Jamie Kennedy. Love Hewitt acknowledged that the shearing took place directly after the breakup, "But it's not about that," she insisted, laughing. "It's just a 'I-need-a-change' haircut!" But that's not to say the actress wasn't at least partly amused by the virtual peanut gallery: "My favorite headline so far was 'She Cut That Man Right Out of Her Hair.' But no–it was really just for me."
What do you think of her new 'do?

picoChip and Continuous Computing to Create LTE Hardware-Software Reference Design
Continuous Computing and picoChip have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate to produce a comprehensive Long Term Evolution femtocell and picocell reference implementation. The results of the joint work will enable Network Equipment Providers (NEP) to quickly get to market with a variety of small form factor LTE products, including femtocell and picocell base stations. Smaller eNodeB products, such as those based on the MicroTCA form factor, are expected to be important for LTE deployments worldwide.
Executives from picoChip and Continuous Computing believe that their MoU is the industry's first alliance for LTE femtocells/picocells, which extends from a hardware reference design and physical layer implementation (PHY) all the way up through Layer 2 and Layer 3 LTE protocols.
Dozens of operators across the globe have announced support for LTE and are expected to commence subscriber field trials later this year. Continuous Computing and picoChip are well positioned to bring together the key hardware and software technologies required to enable successful LTE implementation. While each of the constituent LTE products in the joint project is currently available from the two companies today, pre-integrating them into an optimized reference implementation will save NEPs substantial time and money.
"Small form factor LTE products, such as femtocells and picocells, are expected to be critical to LTE deployments worldwide," said Mike Dagenais, President and CEO of Continuous Computing. "Having standards-compliant, integrated products can significantly compress NEPs' development timelines, enabling them to accelerate their participation in the burgeoning LTE market and early operator trials."

Machado, O's rally past Red Sox
Boston, MA – Manny Machado launched a three-run homer to cap a five-run ninth inning, as the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox, 8-5, at Fenway Park.
Joel Hanrahan (0-1) was tasked with getting the final three outs for Boston, which carried a 5-3 lead into the ninth.
Chris Davis opened the frame with a solo home run to center field. Hanrahan, who was looking to nail down his 100th career save, retired the next two batters before everything unraveled.
Ryan Flaherty singled and consecutive walks to Nolan Reimold and Nate McLouth loaded the bases. The tying run scored on a wild pitch and Machado put Baltimore in front with his drive off Hanrahan to the Green Monster seats.
"You've got your closer in the game, the ballgame locked up, it's tough," Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. "But I still feel that Joel's got some of the best stuff I've ever caught."
Boston went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth, with Jim Johnson earning his third save of the season. Darren O'Day (1-0) was awarded the victory after pitching a perfect bottom of the eighth.
Both starting pitchers, Baltimore's Jake Arrieta and Boston right-hander Ryan Dempster, didn't return when rain halted play at the conclusion of the fifth inning.
After a 43-minute delay, the Red Sox broke a 3-3 tie with consecutive two-out home runs by Daniel Nava and Saltalamacchia in the sixth.
The Orioles got a run in the first inning without the benefit of a hit.
McLouth walked to begin the game and reached third when miscommunication between Jacoby Ellsbury and Shane Victorino led to Machado's fly ball dropping in for a two-base error. McLouth then scored on a groundout by Nick Markakis, but Dempster avoided further damage by striking out Adam Jones and Davis.
Boston tied things up in the second and pushed two more runs across in the third to take a 3-1 lead.
Nava kept the second alive with a two-out walk and came home when Saltalamacchia doubled off the Green Monster. Stephen Drew, making his Red Sox debut at shortstop, flied out to end the inning.
Drew was activated from the seven-day disabled list before Wednesday's game. He suffered a concussion after being hit on the helmet by a pitch on March 7.
Rookie Jackie Bradley led off the third with a walk and Ellsbury hit a ball the opposite way past a diving McLouth in left field for triple. Victorino's sacrifice fly to left plated Ellsbury.
Baltimore, however, pulled even with two runs in the fourth.
The O's were hitless until Markakis took Dempster deep to right-center to open the frame.
A second Boston defensive misplay then led to the tying run. Jones followed Markakis' blast with a single, took second on a wild pitch and hustled home after Bradley couldn't cleanly field Matt Wieters' single to left.
The Red Sox hadn't committed an error in their first seven games of 2013, a club record to begin a season.
"It was a huge win for us," Machado said. "To come out with the victory is just going to give us the big boost that we needed to get this show rolling."
Game Notes
Wednesday marked the end of Boston's sellout streak at 794 regular-season games. Including postseason games, the run, which started May 15, 2003, spanned 820 games. Both the regular-season and overall streaks are the longest in major professional sports ... The Red Sox placed starting pitcher John Lackey on the 15-day disabled list with a right biceps strain and recalled pitcher Alex Wilson from Triple-A Pawtucket ... To make room for Drew, the Red Sox optioned shortstop Jose Iglesias to Pawtucket ... The Orioles traded reliever Luis Ayala to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for pitcher Chris Jones, who was assigned to Double-A Bowie.

A Carteret County man convicted of scamming county residents is headed to prison.
A Carteret County man convicted of scamming county residents is headed to prison.
Matthew Claude Willis, 40, of the Davis community pleaded guilty to three felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses for fraudulently selling raffle tickets he claimed were for a Boy Scout fundraiser, according to a news release from the office of District Attorney Scott Thomas.
In late August, Willis traveled around the Down East area of the county and tricked victims into buying $10 tickets for a chance to win a grand prize of a number of pounds of shrimp, ranging from 20 to 100 pounds.
A Boy Scout leader in the area heard about the scam and a sheriff�s office investigation found approximately 15 people who had been scammed by Willis.
Willis was on probation at the time for 2012 convictions for safecracking and felony larceny.
For his conviction for the scam, Willis was sentenced to a prison term of 6 to 17 months, which is to be served at the expiration of his sentence of 8 to 10 months in the probation case, the release said.
His total prison sentence is 14 to 27 months. He is also to pay restitution, attorney�s fees and court costs.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Katherine Taylor.

How to backup to OneDrive using Backup4all
Since version 6 of Backup4all you can back up to OneDrive as direct destination. Here is the article describing how to backup to OneDrive: http://www.backup4all.com/kb/how-to-backup-your-data-to-onedrive.htmlOneDrive is a file hosting service that allows users to upload and sync files to a cloud storage and then access them from a Web browser or their local device. You can also use Onedrive to access and manage files from multiple devices.
Network backup
Backup4all's licensing system provides a network backup solution for large computer environments with a special focus on the network environment. Backup4all is designed to be reliable, easy-to-use and affordable. It can be used as a reliable network backup solution in networks with hundreds of computers connected.
Backup types
Backing-up is a crucial process that everyone should do in order to have a fail-safe, for when the inevitable happens. The principle is to make copies of particular data in order to use those copies for restoring the information if a failure occurrs (a data loss event due to deletion, corruption, theft, viruses etc.). You can perform the backup manually by copying the data to a different location, or automatically using a backup program. Backup4all is such a program and you can easily download below (opens in new window so you can still continue reading the article):
USB backup
You can backup your data to a USB drive or from a USB drive using Backup4all. This is a practical backup destination as it allows you to store important files to external devices, offering increased portability. It can be considered as an additional protection against data loss as the result of hardware failure or other disasters.
Mirror backup
Mirror backup is identical to a full backup, with the exception that the files can be compressed/encrypted only individually and only the latest file version is preserved in destination. A mirror backup is most frequently used to create an exact copy of the backup data. It has the benefit that the backup files can also be readily accessed using tools like Windows Explorer.
Incremental backup
Incremental backup stores all files changed since the last FULL, DIFFERENTIAL OR INCREMENTAL backup. The advantage of an incremental backup is that it takes the least time to finish. The disadvantage is that during a restore operation, each increment is processed and this could result in a lengthy restore job.
FTP backup
FTP backup is supported by Backup4all. You can backup your data to a remote computer or device using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connection. This is a practical remote backup destination as it allows you to store important files offsite. It can be considered as an additional protection against data loss as the result of hardware failure or other disasters.
Configuring a backup to run automatically when the USB drive is plugged in
The following article applies to version 4.x of Backup4all. This article shows how to configure the Portable edition of Backup4all installed on a flash drive, to run a specific backup job or backup group when you plug in the flash drive. Backup4all can be configured to run a specific job/group when the flash drive is plugged in.
Troubleshooting installation errors
If you have problems installing Backup4all on your computer, here is a list of the possible solutions you should try
How to activate Backup4all online
After purchasing a license for Backup4all you have to activate it. Activation allows verifying that your copy of is genuine and that it hasn't been used on more computers than the number of licenses purchased. It prevents this way software counterfeiting (intentional or unintentional).
What are Backup operators?
A backup operator is an user that can back up and restore the computer regardless of file system security. A member of the Backup Operators group can extract files and directories for which the user would normally not have access.
Full backup
Full backup is the starting point for all other backups and contains all the data in the folders and files that are selected to be backed up. Because the full backup stores all files and folders, frequent full backups result in faster and simpler restore operations. Remember that when you choose other backup types, restore jobs may take longer.
How to download, install and use backup plugins
This article will show you how to download, install and use the backup plugins in Backup4all.
How to back up Hotmail emails?
This article explains how to back up Hotmail emails with Backup4all. You can back up your Hotmail emails by using Outlook Express, MS Outlook, Windows Mail or Thunderbird with the corresponding Backup4all plugin.
Differential backup
Differential backup contains all files that have changed since the last FULL backup. The advantage of a differential backup is that it shortens restore time compared to a full backup or an incremental backup. However, if you perform the differential backup too many times, the size of the differential backup might grow to be larger than the baseline full backup.
IncrediMail - Backup Plugin
IncrediMail is a free email program that manages all your email messages, communications, contact details and email transactions, while adding a bit of fun given the impressive amount of similies it has.

All for Their Love of Music:
An Interview with Violinist Michael White and Vocalist Leisei Chen
Say the name Michael White to a jazz aficionado, and the likely response will be something like, 'Yeah, great jazz violinist back in the day. Wonder what he's doing these days? . . ."Joy Child
The answer to the question of where he's been is here, there and everywhere. If you missed him and his vocal muse Leisei (pronounced 'lay say') Chen when they performed as part of the Alice Coltrane Tribute at UCLA Live last December, you'll have the opportunity to see the Michael White Quintet (MWQ) on Sunday, May 1 at the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock at 7 p.m.
White is a prodigy, who learned to play the violin when his mother gave him the instrument at age 7. He may best be remembered for his seminal work with John Handy and his forays into avant garde jazz with Sun Ra, Alice and John Coltrane, and McCoy Tyner in the 1960s and '70s. He even headed his own band, Fourth Way, in those days.
He's from Houston, TX, but was raised in Oakland, CA. He's lived variously in Africa and Japan. And in L.A. While living in Los Angeles, he and L.A.-based vibraphonist Rickey Kelly were supposed to do a cable television show but, when that didn't pan out, they relocated to Seattle. White taught a bit at Cornish College of the Arts, where he initially met Chen, who's Chinese but was reared in Kobe, Japan.
But it wasn't until a chance encounter years later at the Seattle's Jazz Alley, where Chen regularly performed at jam sessions, that his musical vision linked up with hers. One night, she couldn't perform, and White was her replacement. Of his performance that, Chen says she saw him "surrounded by light." On a break, he approached her and said, "I'm not trying to hit on you but I like your energy."
Chen says she'd been wanting a band with a violin, while White says he'd been wanting a band with a singer whose music with mesh with his. So, he says, he "went to the universe and asked for"-and got-Chen.
Now White and Chen are man and wife, soulmates and musical partners. The first time the two played together was around 2004, on the 30th anniversary recording of White's seminal recording of "Land of Spirit and Light."
Quite fortuitous, since the couple, in addition to their music, explores metaphysics, astrology and the like, and conducts workshops all over the world called "Spontaneous Inspiration for Jazz Improvisation: Colors + Emotions + Sounds."
One of their current projects is "Touring Museums," which is a blend of concerts, workshops and collaborations with artists, with a special focus on light and color. Also, with new materials at the ready, they are pursuing a record deal. Going forward, White and Chen will appear as special guests of Build An Ark at Grand Performances on July 23.

The push is on to make prescription translations mandatory in California.
According to the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, a lack of universal standards for labeling on dispensed prescription containers is a root cause for patients misunderstanding the drugs they are taking.
"If people can't read the prescription bottle, it's a really dangerous situation," said Dr. David Margolius, who works in internal medicine and has been outspoken when it comes to pushing for mandatory translations for prescriptions. "If a label doesn't make sense to the people who are taking the medication, they are already at a disadvantage."
Statistics show more than 700,000 emergency room visits across the county are caused by not taking drugs properly. In addition, hospitals are spending nearly $6 million a year on treating those patients.
State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, is pushing for legislation to conduct a survey on the controversial issue.
Jimmy Yuen, who owns Advance Medical Pharmacy in Walnut Creek, provides labels on his medications in both English and Spanish. He said it is not a problem for him because of the limited service he is providing for his Spanish-speaking customers.
But Yuen said making that service mandatory could become a problem.
"I think technology is not there yet to ensure a high level of accuracy," he said.
A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for Thursday in Sacramento.

Ski/snowshoe to Mount Colden
March 17, 2014 - Morgan Ryan
Got out for one last winter high peak on Sunday with Paul and Ed. It was a cold and windy day, but nothing like the record lows we saw later that night and this morning.
We started from the South Meadow parking area and skied out to Marcy Dam.
When we got to the Avalanche Camp intersection, there was no one there as we strapped on snowshoes and stashed our skis.
Right when we were about to take off, this energetic group of college kids rolled in fresh off a snowshoe to Avalanche Pass.
The 1.5-mile climb to Lake Arnold was pretty steady, but it got much steeper as we turned to climb the mountain. After about a mile we were into the alpine zone.
The north summit came first, and man was it windy and cold up there. We weren't there for much longer than it took for me to fish out my camera and snap a couple photos.
From the north summit we could see what we had left to climb the actual summit. It looked like a lot.
It wasn't as bad as it seemed, and soon we were on top posing for our summit photo.
Here's a look back at the north summit and our return trip back to Lake Arnold.
Of course, the clouds parted and eventually disappeared as we were on our way back to the car. This is a good look at Colden and its two summits from Marcy Dam.
We were back at the car by 6:15 and at the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery with a cold beer by about 6:30.
I figure the total trip was about 15 miles. It took us almost exactly eight hours.

Select a 2013 Suzuki SX4 trim level
2013 model year changes
For 2013, the Suzuki SX4 receives only minor updates. Among them is a revised front grille and bumper on hatchback models, as well as the availability of an integrated navigation and entertainment system. Finally, last year's base model has been dropped from the lineup, leaving the LE sedan as the entry-level SX4, with an MSRP of $15,845.
Competitive comparison
Low starting price; available all-wheel drive; good maneuverability; wide range of available trim levels
Special features for 2013
The Suzuki SX4 offers an excellent array of features for an astonishingly low price. Even with a starting price of just under $16,000, the base SX4 is a value-laden car that offers the same efficient, powerful engine as in upper-level trims and a solid standard equipment list. At the top of the line, the all-wheel drive Technology hatchback doesn't break the $20,000 barrier, yet bears an impressive set of equipment. With the manual transmission, the SX4 achieves a respectable 26 combined EPA estimated miles per gallon.
Carried over for 2013, the Suzuki SX4 is a compact car that is available in Sportback, Sedan, and Crossover trims. All models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 150 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options are comprised of a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic. Fuel mileage is an EPA estimated 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. FWD is the standard drivetrain for all trims with the exception of the SX4 Crossover that comes equipped with AWD.

Champion of Mental Health and Addictions Treatment
August 06, 2008
Glenn Maynard sat facing a new client with a 20-year history of severe addictions, a man who had worked with numerous accomplished psychotherapists in prestigious programs–and failed, repeatedly, to conquer his demons. Perplexed, Maynard wondered what he could possibly do to help.
After two years of serious therapeutic work, his client found the strength to put his life back together, return to work, and reunite with his family.
The difference this time around, he told Maynard, was that he finally gave up all hope of having a better or different past.
"That's really the nature of the work we do as counselors," says Maynard, "helping people come to terms with the past and find a way to let go and move forward in a positive way."
Maynard directs the Avel Gordly Center for Healing at Oregon Health & Science University, where he is also an assistant professor of psychiatry and maintains a clinical practice.
The clinic offers state-licensed programs that help about 700 people each month with a wide range of addictions–including drugs, alcohol, and gambling–and a variety of behavioral problems such as mood and anxiety disorders.
Maynard's career path seems to mirror his approach to life–ambitious and compassionate. With boundless energy and enthusiasm for helping people, he began the journey as a caseworker for the welfare department in Astoria, then in southeast Portland.
Deciding to transition from social work to counseling, he earned a master's degree from Lewis & Clark's Graduate School of Education and Counseling in 18 months.
He went on to develop Living in the Community, an intensive program designed to help people with chronic mental illness move from state-run hospitals back into society. It addressed housing, crisis intervention, medication management, life skills training, vocational training, and substance abuse counseling and became a national model.
Later, he served in several high-level positions for Providence Health System, directing addictions treatment services and developing the Crisis Triage Center, which provided centralized mental health crisis services in the Portland metropolitan area.
"One of the things I'm interested in now is mentoring and supporting the next generation of counselors," says Maynard, acutely aware of the difficulties therapists face dealing up close with trauma every day.
"My youngest daughter is embarking on a career as a high school counselor," he says. "On a personal level, it's exciting and gratifying to watch her enter the profession."
And to foster his own mental health, Maynard and his wife and a group of friends are planning a long-distance recumbent bike trip in August–a big loop from Amsterdam through Holland, Belgium, Germany, and the Czech Republic.

An advocate for patients and lifelong learning
ROTC alumna Molly Klote ('88) recognized as a top military physician
By Brandi Mooring ('12M)
The glass ceiling for female physicians in the military may have shattered years ago. Always focusing on the mission, the military uses the best person to get the job done, regardless of gender. Female physicians have made such significant contributions in the military that now they have their own award.JMU ROTC alumna Lt. Col. Mary "Molly" McNerney Klote ('88) is a recipient of the 2010 Military Health System Building Stronger Female Physician Leaders award, which recognizes the military's top female physicians.
In 2009, the Military Health System created the Building Stronger Female Physician Leaders to recognize the military's top female physicians. The 2010 class of six recipients includes Lt. Col. Mary "Molly' McNerney Klote ('88), recognized for her extensive work in biomedical research oversight and for her positive role as a female medical practitioner. Committed to her passion of the expansion of knowledge in the medical field, Klote currently serves as director for the Clinical Investigation Regulatory Office, part of the Office of Research Protections, USA Medical Research and Materiel Command at Fort Detrick, Md. Her clinical work is done at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She is also an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Md.
A computer information systems major at JMU, Klote's impressive list of accomplishments includes a dual board certification in internal medicine and allergy immunology. She is a Fellow of the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology. Her research background has focused on tuberculosis in the immuno-compromised and vaccine research with anthrax, smallpox and influenza. She has twice been named a finalist for the Bailey K. Ashford Award, Walter Reed's research competition.
Leading a Life of Service
"The medical field is a commitment, a lifelong commitment to learning and teaching," says Klote, a JMU ROTC alumna. "Research is an equal commitment. Every study you do may answer the question you go after, but it may raise other questions. Then you have to ask why and what are the implications? You have to keep asking the questions, and you have to have the fortitude to go after the answers."
Klote believes being in the medical field comes down to leading a life of service. "You cannot be a doctor unless you love people," she says. "There is no question, the idea of service is around us — you are an advocate for your patients."
Klote's inspiration to lead a life dedicated to service originated from her own family. Her childhood experience as an 'Army brat' led her to pursue her own military career in military intelligence and eventually attend the School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University. "I was brought up in a military family, and my dad was always happy because he loved being in the Army," she says. "The idea of service extends not only to serving your country but service to your patients."
Klote did not take the conventional route to becoming a medical doctor — she carved her own pathway creating her own opportunities along the way. "One of the hardest decisions I had to make was leaving the Army intelligence corps to apply to medical school - it was a leap of faith and a big life gamble," says Klote. "I knew if I really put my mind and all my energies into it I could make it. I couldn't imagine not making it."
Reflecting on her own military career, she adds, "Had I not been in the Army I don't think I would ever have had the opportunity to be a department chief at this point in my life. There is always a new opportunity to pursue or a higher level of authority to assume in the Army." Before entering medical school she says, "I was glad that I had that five years of life experience, it made me a more well-rounded military doctor, helping me understand the operational side of the Army. Prior service in active duty provided me with leadership roles, which later made me more confident in my relationship with patients and peers."
Klote also found the love of her life — Jim — at medical school. "I got married at the end of medical school and then priorities changes when we had our first child. My children are probably the reason I am an allergist immunologist and not an intensive care doctor as I had planned."
A Passion for Research and Teaching
Her interest in immunology led to her vaccine research for the Army as a staff allergist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. "Understanding how to get a research project off the ground and through the research review process led me to apply to the clinical investigation department," Klote says. "Helping others to get their research approved and done became my new passion. It was a real opportunity to teach others. I started doing education programs and outreach to get help get their research started."
While she has been assigned to the Medical Research Materiel Command's Office of Research Protections Klote has made positive changes in the Clinical Investigation Regulatory Office. She has worked to streamline the protocol review process through an electronic protocol management system for the whole Army medical department. "It helps to account for and route everything and improves the time it takes to get research approved and to clear publications for public release."
To balance the demands as a physician and research regulator with the roles of wife and mother of three, Klote uses the support system learned from her parents. "The key to balancing family and career is being flexible and supportive of each other in times of stress. My husband was there for the family when I went to Iraq. Experiences like that can strengthen your respect for each other and your commitment to each other."
Klote adds, "If you want a career in medicine, you have to enjoy getting to know others. You can learn something from everyone you meet - every leader, male or female, you can learn from his or her style. And for every patient you have to imagine they are your brother, sister, or your parent. You have to take care of them like they are your own family. That advice has stayed with me my whole career and has helped me to keep on caring, even when exhausted.

Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks has revisited her past for a new album of rarities, which will be produced by rocker Dave Stewart.
The singer took to YouTube.com to watch clips from past concerts and uncover lost treasures that were never formally released.
The result is the album 24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vault, which consists of new versions of obscure tracks she found online.
She explains, "We went onto YouTube and we found all the songs that, somehow, were taken from my house or picked up or loaned out or whatever, and we went to Nashville (and recorded them). They're, like, all starting from like 1969. I call them my 24 karat gold songs."

This post is part of a series looking back at the top 10 games of the Bruins' 2010-11 regular season.
Whether you want to believe all, none or part of his story, you have to admit that Mark Recchi did a masterful job of distracting attention away from Zdeno Chara prior to the Bruins' March 24 game.
Because any pressure that was taken off Boston's captain, and the rest of the team, allowed the Bruins to dismantle an overhyped Montreal team 7-0. The victory ranks third on the list of top 10 Bruins games as picked by TheBruinsBlog.net.
Just a little more than two weeks after the Chara/Max Pacioretty affair, the Canadiens were coming to Boston in search of revenge. With them, they would of course bring the Montreal media, many of whom had been excoriating Chara ever since March 8. The night before the game, Recchi hit the airwaves on a local radio station and when asked about Pacioretty already being out and about after suffering a severe concussion, the veteran forward actually used the word "embellished" when expressing his feelings on the matter.
With all of Montreal, and even several Canadiens pleasures expressing outrage over Recchi's comments, it seemed at first as though Recchi might've provided the Bruins' archrivals with perfect bulletin-board material. Any thoughts of that were erased just 1:o1 into the game when Johnny Boychuk's slap shot from the right point went through a Milan Lucic screen and past goaltender Carey Price for a 1-0 lead.
The Bruins led 3-0 by the end of the first period. The only sign that the Canadiens were the slightest bit angry came when Gregory Campbell and Paul Mara dropped the gloves for a fight that was more about what was going on in the current game than anything that happened in the past.
With Tim Thomas on his way to a 24-save shutout, the Bruins scored four more times in the third period — capped by a remarkable 3-on-5 goal by Campbell, who stole a cross-ice pass at his own blue line and skated end to end beating replacement goaltender Alex Auld to the stick side high.
Even Tomas Kaberle scored for the Bruins. Nathan Horton finished with two goals. Lucic, Chara and David Krejci finished with three assists apiece.
After the game, Recchi said he had made those statements to take the heat off of his captain. Of course, he couldn't have planned the whole thing out because he couldn't have known what questions would be asked on the show. Nonetheless, if his goal was to go on the radio to cause a stir, he achieved that.
Life wasn't as easy for the Bruins against the Habs once the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between the teams rolled around a month later. But for one night, the Bruins obliterated their most-hated rivals. And "Dr. Recchi" seemingly had just the right prescription to deal with unwanted outside influences.

Supercomputing Speed Barrier
Supercomputing speeds continue to rise, with yesterday's fastest machines buried by today's speed kings, but when will supercomputers reach their limits?
Most experts agree that current barriers to supercomputing speeds -- which are approaching hundreds of teraflops -- will fall. A teraflop equals 1 trillion floating point operations per second.
how soon before we get that on desktops?

My Lynxmotion kit arrived last week and I managed to find time to do the initial assembly. I programmed gates for a sudo-dynamic walk, reverse and turning in place.
My new MeLabs serial programmer works great. It could have saved me a lot of trouble if I had not waited.
My other robot will need a new set of servos and wheels. I was not as carefull while packing it for the move as I should have been. Luckily the electronics and sensors are all still working.
Don't have a lot of time to work on projects right now. I have been in classes for my EMT-Basic certification. Finals and state tests are next week!

The Indian Subcontinent includes a wide variety of terrains and climates. It ranges from permanent snowfields in the highest mountains in the world to steamy lowlands where rice is widely cultivated, and from deserts in the interior Northwest Plains to one of the wettest places on earth (Cherrapunji, India with 425 inches per year).
The main controlling feature of the climate in this part of the world is the Asian monsoon. The winter monsoon sets in from November through May. Northeast winds bring clear skies and little rain during this period. It can be relatively cool from December to February, but in the spring, very hot temperatures often develop quickly and predominate until the arrival of the summer "wet" monsoon.
During this time of year and in the steamy summer to follow, the cooler climes in the northern, hilly regions provide some welcome respite from the oppressive conditions of the Plains.
During the summer monsoon, the winds turn to the southwest and heavy showers and thunderstorms develop. This arrival of the wet season, locally referred to as the "burst of the monsoon," starts in the south in late May or early June and spreads slowly to the north by July in most years. Extremely heavy rains can fall over the windward slopes of the mountains. Cherrapunji, at 4300 feet of elevation, is an example of such a favored area for rainfall. It averages over 100 inches of rain in June alone (over 3 inches per day!).
In some years (usually El Nino years) the summer monsoon winds remain weak and the monsoon is said to have "failed." The result can be crop failures and famine. La Nina years can, on the other hand, lead to excessively heavy summer monsoon rains and enhanced tropical activity with major flooding.
The southeast part of India and Bangladesh, on the Bay of Bengal, are vulnerable to severe cyclones, especially during the period from October through November. Cyclones here have resulted in major loss of life and damage over the years. This very low delta region is vulnerable to major flooding when the cyclones blow ashore with their storm surge and torrential rains. The surge is further magnified due to the shape of the coastline.
Nepal is a small mountainous country bordering India on the north. Nowhere on earth does the climate and terrain vary more in short distances - from the tropical forests of the low Plains in northern India to the permanent ice and snow of the world's highest mountains, the Himalayas. The climate here is highly elevation-dependent but is controlled by the same monsoon cycle we find in India. The rainy season here is from late June to September. This is a cloudy period with rather warm temperatures and heavy rains. The rest of the year is much drier and pleasant. In the high mountains, the snow cover is permanent, despite the warmth of summer below.

Are we filling up too fast? On census day, 27 March last year, England and Wales contained 56.1 million people – up by 3.7 million, a shade over 7% in a decade. This is the biggest increase since the census began in 1801, with half a million more than the statisticians expected.
In British political life there are few subjects as touchy as immigration and any undercounting will lead to suspicions that foreigners are silently slipping into the country. The truth appears more prosaic. The Office for National Statistics says 209,000 (45%) of the unexpected difference is because of failings in the 2001 census.
Another 267,000, representing 55% of the population increase, was "attributed to an underestimation of net international migration over the decade". The census admits that it missed young people aged 10 to 19 from abroad and women aged 25 to 44.
This is important as immigrants have more children. The ONS's latest figures show that although British-born mothers are more fertile than before, they still have fewer babies on average (1.88) than foreign-born mothers (2.45), who account for a quarter of all births.
It is true that many migrants end up in London, where the population density is an uncomfortable 5,200 people per square kilometre – compared with England's national figure of 371. But as Matt Cavanagh of the Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) points out, that is because the capital is the nation's economic powerhouse – sucking in people and investment.
Underlying the debate is the fact that calculating immigration relies on using the notoriously unreliable international passenger survey, which is too small and does not sample randomly. The result is dodgy data. A little less than 15% of the total amount can be directly attributed to people who were coming to stay but decide to leave. A fifth is to do with travel across the Irish Sea.
Two-thirds of the missing 267,000 is down to the survey "underestimating immigration or overestimating emigration". How many people leave the country is as important as how many enter, especially last year, when about 30,000 UK citizens emigrated – the lowest for almost a decade. The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford points out that there are 2.23 million EU migrants in Britain but 1.42 million Britons living on the continent.
Scott Blinder of the Migration Observatory team said the government's proposed capping of immigration to "tens of thousands" would be ineffective if errors this large were allowed to persist, adding that the government's e-Borders electronic system for counting in people and counting them out was two years from producing data.
There's no doubt immigration is important. Once Scotland and Northern Ireland are added in, Blinder says Britain's population will top 63 million by 2011. It is estimated that net migration accounted for more than half of the 3.7 million increase in the population of England and Wales in the last decade.
But Migration Observatory says the idea that governments could arbitrarily define a limit to the nation's population – the coalition thinks 70 million might be appropriate for the UK – was not rooted in "credible evidence".
There is an economic cost to the country of limiting immigration. Last week, the Office for Budget Responsibility's central assumption was that net inward migration will fall to about 140,000 a year – it is presently about 250,000 – and will remain there over the next five decades. That would require spending cuts and tax rises of £17bn to bring down the national debt to 40% of GDP by 2062. If the current rate of immigration is allowed to continue that falls to £4.6bn.
Unless the government straps rocket boosters to the economy, the choice in the future might be boiled down to importing growth or cutting public spending.
