Update: August 2007. The article appears to be mostly stable now. One cited value (number of Jews in the Window) is clearly erroneous and has been noted as such. Unfortunately, no other published source has yet been found for that data. Could it be that the controversies have been resolved?
To the reader: please read the extensive discussion below as well as the archived discussion here before editing and/or adding additional comments. This article has been extensively examined and edited to achieve good neutrality, good citations, etc. Perhaps the most important points missed by many readers:
- The research was done in 1990. Today's data might well show a different result (which would likely validate the work done since 1990 to bring more attention to this part of the world!) Please do not compare your knowledge of the world today with what is described in this article.
- The nations of the 10/40 Window are there because of geography, not culture. Any nation that was at least 50 percent inside the window, is a Window nation. This list is a 1990 list of nations. If you want to update due to more recent name changes (e.g. Sudan is now two nations), please follow the existing pattern by leaving the original list alone and adding parenthetical remarks.
Most of the extensive discussions about disputed topics have been resolved since 2007. Those discussions have been moved to an archive page; the topics are summarized below. See Talk:10/40_Window/Archive_1
New Discussion[edit]
Any new/current discussion should be added here. Of special interest: improving the wording and/or tightening up the "lead" to improve the rating.
As far as I can tell, the article is now class "B". Mr Pete (talk) 13:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Most Frequent Article Edit Errors[edit]
These edits are repeatedly made. They are all incorrect. Please re-read the material below as well as the archived discussion.
- Italy, Spain and Ethiopia are not in the Window. North and South Korea are in the Window. Gibraltar and Macau were not considered independent nations at the time.
- Current economic status of China, Israel, Oil nations, etc is immaterial. The study was done in 1990, based on 1980's data.
- Be cautious when introducing heavily religious elements to the article. The analysis was a scientific correlation study based on widely recognized data. The implications of that study for various groups, whether missionaries or others, are really a separate topic.
Mr Pete (talk) 22:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
More incorrect edits, mostly based on previously resolved discussion in the archive:
- Lists of "Christian nations." There's no generally accepted definition for this term, and there's no evidence such analysis was done in the 1990 10/40 Window study. A new study might produce some information on this; it would need citations and would be a separate topic, probably outside the scope of this article.
- The analysis was not of "presence of Christianity" but "access to Christian resources." These are not the same; see the linked references in the article. (Simple examples: a half-hour radio broadcast once a week, or a Bible on the shelf in a bookstore, represents "access" more than "presence.")
Mr Pete (talk) 10:52, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Resolved Disputes[edit]
Origin/coining of the term 10/40 window.[edit]
The term cannot have been coined in 1990 by Luis Bush, because the term appears in the book The Coming Revolution in World Missions by K. P. Yohannan published in 1986. I don't know who coined this term, but it is goes back to 1986 at least. Xtian1977 (talk) 22:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Others have made edits based on the idea that the term was in use elsewhere in the early 1980's, e.g. YWAM or USCWM (Dr. Ralph Winter).
- Resolution: the term does not appear in the original edition of Yohannan's book; it was added in more recent revisions. The term really did originate in 1990. Reverting Xtian1977's edits. (Further info added: Yohannan's book claims to have been heavily edited for the 2004 edition, which is available online. The earlier editions (at least 1986-1995) do not reference the 10/40 Window. Unfortunately, the Google "1986" edition is actually from much later, with comments about eleven years of feedback, etc. Check their 1995 version for proof.)
--Mr Pete (talk) 10:30, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Additional disputes below are condensed from the now-archived talk pages. Mr Pete (talk) 13:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Are these the correct nations?[edit]
- Wealthy and/or "Christian" nations are included; poor and/or "non-Christian" nations are excluded.
- This is a generalization. Exceptions exist and are noted in the article.
- The term is an historical one, based on analysis done in 1990, using data available at the time. Today's data is immaterial.
Are the cited sources valid, NPOV, etc?[edit]
- Should "biased sources on both sides of an issue" be cited? Some would prefer citation of only neutral sources.
- Are "Christian" sources valid?
- Yes and yes...
- Read Wikipedia policy, which [recommends] quoting without promoting or berating sources that reflect various POV's.
- Read the policy on reliable sources.
- Read the policy on verifiability
- Read the NPOV FAQ, particularly here: Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/FAQ#Making_necessary_assumptions
- Readers not familiar with the subject matter may be unaware that there's an extensive academic corpus behind the topic of Christianity, people group research, etc. Accredited college majors, journals, etc etc. "Christian" publications are not automatically excluded from Wikipedia as having a POV bias.
Is/was the cited data and analysis valid?[edit]
- Some see this as saying Christianity brings wealth, or that the problem is lack of evangelism.
- Some find the facts presented unsettling.
- The analysis found correlations, not causes.
- The analysis examined long term impact. Recent change does not invalidate the study.
- It found correlation between poverty/suffering and a lack of Christian resources. There's an implication that introducing Christian influence can assist with escape from poverty and suffering. That's not the same as equating prosperity and Christianity. There was no study of prosperity.
- The facts presented are based on (1990) valid, authoritative sources, all properly cited.
- Many concerns raised looked at today's population or poverty measures, rather than those available in 1990.
- Many concerns raised confused "western" religion with global data.
- Some do not know that Christianity has not been a "white, western" faith for a long time.
- Some concern was raised about questions of "access" to Christian resources. This is examined extensively in the cited references, particularly the World Christian Encyclopedia and Operation World.
Any dispute of the cited facts needs to be based on authoritative sources.
But aren't Christians responsible for oppressing these nations?[edit]
- Individuals, and even nations, have sometimes had horrible policy and practices. That doesn't relate to the question of Christian resources and influence.
- A good case study is India, obviously long under British rule. Yet the outcastes of India are held in place by a variety of factors; many would argue that much of this has to do with the upper classes enjoying the "benefit" of a slave class. One of the more eloquent is the "Tocqueville" of India, Vishal Mangalwadi. In The Quest for Freedom and Dignity: Caste, conversion and cultural revolution"[1] he argues passionately that 'Caste, karma, and reincarnation created today's Hindu hierarchy, but caste cannot coexist with democracy. Democracy, built on the biblical principles of justice and equality, is driving Dalits and other lower caste Hindus to rise up against 3,000 years of Hindu caste-driven "apartheid."'
Eastern hemisphere only?[edit]
Portugal is included, I noticed, yet from a geographical standpoint, Portugal is west of the Prime Meridian, as is Great Britain. So, is this 10/40 geographical primarily or what?Jlujan69 (talk) 01:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. "Eastern hemisphere" can be the arbitrary degree-based definition, but most people use the more traditional occidental/oriental definition, where eastern is the "half" of the world that includes Eurasia, Africa and Australia. cf http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=eastern%20hemisphere Mr Pete (talk) 21:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Significance in Evangelical Christianity section[edit]
This entire section is purely meaningless drivel. It belongs on a missions website, not an encyclopedia. I propose eliminating the section because there is no way to salvage it.--220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Cindy,
I live in zone 5B, Port Huron, Michigan. Sweet Woodruff is rampant, but like
you, I pull it out by the handful when it encroaches, although I never
noticed that the ground covers affect the growth of the hostas in any way. I
do fertilize early with alfalfa pellets, and later with a general 4 month
slow release like Osmocote
14-14-14. My dwarf and mini hostas would be overrun
with any groundcover I have, so I keep them in other spots. I use
groundcovers with medium and larger hostas. Gail

When do caregivers need spiritual care?
- When you need someone to listen
- When you have hard choices to make
- When you feel compassion fatigue
- When you feel yourself burning out
Why spiritual care matters:
Caregiving makes special and often hidden demands on us, demands that can easily decrease our capacity to cope and maintain our commitment to such care.
Spiritual renewal can help.
An experienced, ordained minister, Rev. Eliza Blanchard, is trained to offer spiritual guidance and nurture to people with a variety of beliefs.
Her calling includes all those who care for animals. She has worked with animals' companions, veterinary technicians, and hospice and rescue workers.

Ray of Light
The dawn breaks... large and dark.
There is a connection between this view down London Wall on a December morning with Madonna's video for "Ray of Light"… but somewhat tenuous.
The area to the north of London Wall was almost completely levelled during the Blitz and was essentially a blank canvas for reconstruction… work that is still going on and if you know where to look there are still some bomb sites waiting for someone to come along and fill the gap.
Significant to the redevelopment of the area was the Barbican of which there is more rambling elsewhere in my photostream. For reasons best known to City planners the Barbican didn't extend south to London Wall and instead this area became the "South Barbican development", earmarked as a new business area for what was seen as a city reborn.
For inspiration the planners looked to Stockholm where, in 1946, a plan had been tabled to create a similar business area consisting of a line of five Modernist 'slabs' in the Hötorget (Haymarket) area – each a curtain-walled office block and all of them aligned alongside an arterial road. By the time construction began in 1952 the plans dictated that each should be 18 stories high (with all surrounding buildings limited to two) and all be of a very similar design… each was worked on by a different architect but the limitations imposed by the city meant that they looked pretty much the same.
Key to the scheme was the addition in 1953 of a series of raised pedestrian walkways, complete with shops and connecting bridges… which for anyone who's been along London Wall will sound spookily familiar to the desolate raised pedestrian areas in the vicinity. London's planners wanted their own Hötorget and similar restrictions were placed on the architects – as with Stockholm five blocks were built (Moor House (1961), St Alphage House (1962) and Lee House (1962) to the North of London Wall, 40 Basinghall Street (1964) and Royex House (1962) to the South) and each looked almost identical apart from slight variations such as the colour of the strips along the bottom of the windows, although the windows themselves were all identically sized.
Worth noting that the rather funky "matchbox on stilts" that is Bastion House at the other end of London Wall wasn't part of the original development, it being built some 15 years later… interesting also that, when it was built, there was still inertia behind the idea of a high-level walkway around The City. For the eagle eyed portions of the walkways can be seen at various locations and were included in the plans for a number of relatively modern buildings, including Tower 42.
In London the towers were angled to London Wall – rebuilt with four lanes as part of an abortive (thank god) inner ring road – instead of lined up in a row… and in London the scheme soon became a byword for the failures of this style of planning with the pedestrian areas turning into somewhat desolate and bland spaces devoid of the hustle and bustle intended. The same happened in Stockholm – there the city took action and closed the levels during the 1970's… in the 90's the lower areas were revitalised and the slabs stand today as a landmark in the city. They were recently used as part of the Emotional Cities installation where the colour of their illumination reflected the 'mood' of Stockholm. If you go to the link there are some impressive shots of the slabs together with a timelapse film of the colours changing...
...and if you've managed to read this far it's here that you'll find the connection between Madonna and London Wall for the subway station for Hötorget appears, although somewhat briefly, in the video for Ray of Light. Sad and tragic, I know, but there you go.
The solution in London was on the whole rather less imaginative – three demolitions (soon to be four) and one refurbishment (rather successful – wrecker's ball take note!). I'll save the juicy details of the fate of four of the five buildings for later but the glass building on the left here stands on the site of Moor House and is, rather imaginatively, called – erm – Moor House. Any similarity between this building and One London Wall is not atall coincidental… I'll save my frustration of this for a subsequent shot and instead gaze at the peaceful dawn here.
As always with London there is construction – I'm not entirely sure which strident and challenging building is being built in the distance here but I hope it's going to be a good 'un. My fingers are crossed.
The colours and reflections of the dawn are rather delicious and improve the view no end… I think I'll take the bus home now and leave you to…
… Enjoy

NEW YORK ŌĆō Despite impressive strides, General Motors Corp. still has difficulty in communicating "the bad old days (of poor quality) are no longer the case," says GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz.
Convincing consumers to consider GM again is an ongoing struggle. "The only way we can do that is by producing compelling cars at high value," he tells WardŌĆÖs in an interview at the New York auto show here.
Lutz points to the Pontiac G6 and Solstice as the kind of vehicles that can achieve this goal. "They're going to be big sellers," he predicts, noting his goal is to see GM capture 30% of the market and pull away from Toyota Motor Corp.
"People have seen the beginning of the GM (product) offensive," Lutz says. "There's a tremendous energy level among our people now. This is a great place (U.S. market) to do business."
GM had big export plans for Cadillac STS.
He predicts Buick will follow the Cadillac business model, but he admits that Saturn presents a big challenge. "We have to make Saturn cool again," Lutz says. "We let a lot of our brand equity (in Saturn) deteriorate, and we have to pour money into the brand to create great cars at astonishingly low prices.ŌĆØ
And the product guru believes GM can create American cars that are appealing overseas, as well. The Hummer H-3, for example, already is creating great interest in Europe. Indeed, he says there are more than 1,000 gray-market H-2s in Europe.
The Pontiac Solstice also is creating huge interest in Europe. Its size is more European, as are the fit and finish, he says.
He is most enthusiastic about GMŌĆÖs ambitious export plans for the new Cadillac STS. "In (the next) five years, 25% of Cadillac's volume could be overseas," he says. "In 10 years, 50% of Cadillacs could be exported."
Most will go to Europe and the Middle East, but Japan and China will be good STS markets, he says, predicting that in a decadeŌĆÖs time, Cadillac could be selling more cars in China than in the U.S.
Lutz brushes off any discussion on the consequences if the Cadillac STS is not successful. ŌĆ£STS will be successful, Cadillac is cool again,ŌĆØ he says, adding that STS buyers pay less than they would for a BMW or Mercedes model and enjoy a more solid car to drive.

Think a penny isn't worth much these days? That's only because you haven't tried these Giant Chocolate Penny Medallions. These are lucky pennies for sure!

Featuring Abraham Lincoln on the front as well as the year 2000, and the E Pluribus Unum seal stamped on the back of the authentic-looking bronze foil wrappers, these look just like a real penny, but they taste much, much, better. A penny saved is still a penny earned, but nobody will be able to save these coins for long.

Maybe we have grown impatient with teasing our bodies gently into shape on a yoga mat, or maybe we are just cheesed off with gym classes that don't deliver what they promise. Whatever the reason, a growing number of people appear to be reaching the same conclusion about fitness - namely, that you have to sweat and fight to achieve it.
Which is why the kind of vigorous martial arts that have been overlooked in the past few years are now firmly back in fashion. Leading the way is Karmaa in north London. Inside this airy, former warehouse are the prerequisites of every gym: a cardio room, holistic centre and treatment rooms - but in the main fitness studio, fight mats cover the floor, punchbags hang from the ceiling, and dozens of boxing gloves and pads are neatly piled at the side of the room.
Classes and one-to-one sessions include kick boxing, jujitsu, and Zen-do, a variation on kick boxing. "All combine aerobic activity, flexibility, kicking and punching, as well as the obvious element of learning how to protect yourself," says Rafael Nieto, a former kick-boxing champion and co-founder of Karmaa.
Considering it takes approximately nine times the energy to produce a forceful kick as it does to throw a punch, it is hardly surprising that you can burn up to 600 calories in a nonstop, hour-long kick-boxing session, and with so much kicking and lower body work it's also a great way to tone flabby legs and a sagging bottom. "Far too many gyms kid people into thinking they can get fit and lose weight without breaking into a sweat. That's rubbish. Unless you are prepared to push yourself to your own limits and get out of breath, you are never going to change your shape," says Nieto.
Despite the fact that it is unmercifully tough, Karmaa has attracted a stream of celebrities. Regulars include Sadie Frost, who brings her children along for lessons, and Jonny Lee Miller. What is perhaps most surprising is that women members outnumber men at Karmaa. "It is roughly a 60:40 ratio of women to men at the moment," says Nieto. "A lot of women come initially because they think it will help them with self-defence, which it does, but they also discover it is getting them into shape faster than anything else they have tried."
Of course, the Hollywood set realised this months ago. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore have been practising jeet kune do, which involves grappling and fighting with 28-inch bamboo canes, while Lucy Liu has taken up eskrima, a Filipino martial art with sticks and knives. Jennifer Lopez and Christian Slater prefer krav maga, derived from a brutal self-defence system - think head-butting and testicle-crunching - created by the Israeli defence forces and recently adopted by the Californian police as a fitness tool.
Despite their origins, well-taught martial arts classes are surprisingly nonviolent. "With better body awareness, what you learn is how to deal with threatening situations and how to avoid them," says Nieto. "You not only get fitter in a class like this, you become more self-empowered. It really can change you as a person."

- Address: High Court Building, Dr Kane Road, Fort Mumbai, Maharashtra 400032, India
Bombay High Court
Local lore tells of a dispute between the English contractors responsible for the construction of the Bombay High Court and a Parsi subcontractor. The Parsi lost his lawsuit in court, and in revenge, sculpted a monkey with a bandage over one eye and holding unbalanced scales of justice. This sculptural depiction of Aesop's fable can be found in the western corridor.
Today, the Bombay High Court remains one of the oldest and most distinguished high courts in India. If you're interested in India's judicial system, it's possible to enter the building and sit in on a hearing if one happens to be going on. You'll have to pass through security first, and cameras are not allowed inside.

International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland couldn't contain herself any longer.
"We did it!" she said, hugging colleagues after posing behind the massive, foot-high legal document Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and European Union leaders had just signed.
Canada's trade agreement with the 28 member states of the European Union can now proceed for ratification.
- Trudeau takes off to sign EU trade deal, but skies ahead aren't clear
- EU sent 'wrong signal' on trade during CETA talks, says German ambassador
Sunday's signing brings to a conclusion two weeks of high drama, after the southern, French-speaking Belgian region of Wallonia refused to approve signing the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, also known as CETA, at a Canada-Europe summit originally planned for last Thursday.
After a deal was reached to bring the Walloons on board last week, things were supposed to be clear sailing through to Sunday's rescheduled signing.
CETA had one final surprise in store for Trudeau — a mechanical failure onboard his government plane Saturday night, forcing it to return to Ottawa and delay Sunday's agenda by several hours.
What's a few more hours for a deal that's been in the works since 2009?
"What patience," exclaimed European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as he embraced the arriving Trudeau at EU headquarters in Brussels.
Congratulations Canada and to all involved in making #CETA happen. My full statement here: https://t.co/o4EdglqCKF
At a news conference after the signing, a Belgian journalist asked Trudeau what he would say to Wallonia.
"The fact that throughout, people were asking tough questions of a deal that will have a significant impact on our economies, and giving us the opportunity to demonstrate that that impact will be positive, is a good thing," Trudeau replied.
"And for me, whether I be here today or three days ago is not going to make a difference on the real impact it's going to have," he said.
"Hard things are hard," he told reporters as the event concluded.
Most tariffs eliminated
The signing ceremony kicks off a ratification process that may see 98 per cent of the agreement provisionally applied next year.
Trudeau said consumers and businesses would immediately feel the benefits. Speaking ahead of Finance Minister Bill Morneau's fall economic statement Tuesday, he tied the progress the agreement represented with his government's efforts to improve the economy for Canada's middle class.
Jobs in exporting sectors pay better, he said.
"We are confident that demonstrating that trade is good for the middle classes … will make sure that everybody gets that this is a good thing for our economies and that it is also a good thing for the world," Trudeau said.
CETA is an example of how trade agreements can be "more inclusive and more progressive," he said.
But the work is just beginning on giving Canadians the tools they need to be able to realize the benefits of the deal, he said.
In some areas, the kind of regulatory harmonization between Canada and the European Union envisioned by the deal remains unrealized.
Ratification not guaranteed
Even though it's now signed, CETA is far from the the finish line. Ratification is not guaranteed.
After the news conference, Trudeau met with Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament (equivalent to a North American Speaker), who will be integral to making sure ratification goes smoothly.
Trudeau thanked Schulz for his leadership on CETA, saying he wanted to "thank him in advance" for the work he will do to get it "ratified quickly."
Officials are optimistic they have enough members of the European Parliament onside, but the legislature in Brussels can be unpredictable at times.
Civil society groups still working to oppose the deal are expected to focus their efforts next on trying to defeat the ratification vote in Europe's parliament.
In Canada, Trudeau's cabinet will ratify the deal. But implementation legislation will be introduced in the House of Commons and provincial legislatures across Canada in the coming months, to change the necessary laws to bring the agreement into force.
- Graphic: What's in the Canada-EU trade deal
Aspects of CETA, such as opening municipal government procurement to international bidders, involve provincial jurisdiction, so federal and provincial governments worked together through the long negotiation process.
A planned meeting with Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard had to be cancelled because of the compressed schedule forced by the problem with Trudeau's plane.
Couillard arrived at Sunday's meetings with former Quebec premier Jean Charest, one of the early drivers of the trade negotiations with Europe, and Pierre-Marc Johnson, the negotiator who worked closely with Canada's chief negotiator Steve Verheul to make sure the final text was acceptable to the province.
No Wallonias here.
Protesters try to disrupt arrivals
Outside EU headquarters, a rowdy group of about 250 anti-CETA protesters gathered to block the front entrance as riot police watched. Red paint was smeared on the building.
Police took away about 15 people, but did not break up the protest, a television news reporter for the Associated Press said.
The group had dispersed by the time journalists and officials left a few hours later.
Negotiations towards the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) began under Stephen Harper's former Conservative government in 2009.
The text was finalized two years ago, but the EU hit pause on signing and ratification as opposition to parts of the deal built across Europe, particularly in the face of fresh concerns about similar trade negotiations between the EU and the United States.
International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland agreed last winter to reopen its controversial investor-state dispute resolution clauses, replacing them with a new European investor court system it hoped to put in place, not just for Canadian investors, but in any subsequent trading relationships.
- What's in the declarations that sealed the Canada-EU trade deal?
- 'The tactic has paid off:' Freeland's dramatic walk out may have saved CETA
Civil society groups, however, believe this part of the deal not only wasn`t needed between like-minded democratic partners, but was a threat to the sovereign ability of countries to regulate in areas such as environmental or labour policies without fear of being sued by foreign corporations.
Pressure remains on left and centre-left parties across Europe to reject the deal. Far right nationalist parties also oppose ratification.
"Facts and figures won't stand up alone," European Council president Donald Tusk said Sunday, trying to convey how difficult it is in the current political climate to explain to people that trade is a good thing.
Especially when they're worried about their jobs or their businesses in the face of new imports.
Federal compensation programs targeting several Canadian industries now facing such threats are expected to be announced soon.

Video Savant: Jamie Lidell's "The City" (Live)
Here we find rising UK soul superstar Jamie Lidell shortly before he dropped his 2005 breakthrough album Multiply. At this 2004 show in London, Lidell is in full-on experimental beatboxing mode. Creating rhythms and textures with his looped, extraordinarily supple vocal cords run through mysterious little boxes and Cycling '74 software, Lidell weaves complex matrices of tics, shticks, moans, wails, hiccups and gasps. The result is some of the funkiest glossolalia ever to ricochet around a venue. He turns that cavity in his head into one of the most mind-boggling percussion instruments I've ever heard.
I had the good fortune to catch Lidell's festival-climaxing set at the 2004 Mutek in Montreal. There he also donned a suit of jumbled recording tape and a race-car helmet, a subtle mockery of Vegas-y glam and glitter. The video below gives you an idea of the vocal acrobatics Jamie flexed at Mutek, a gig that blew my mind 17 ways to Sunday.
That athletic display is a long way from the throwback soul conventionality Lidell's pushing on his new full-length, Jim (Warp). One suspects that he'll be in a jus'-regular-folks Jim state of mind for his upcoming date at LA's El Rey Theatre May 29. I for one hope Lidell's recent fondness for trad-soul songwriting (as Redding/Green/Wonder accomplished as it is) subsides and he returns to the innovative voice contortions of life B.J. (Before Jim).

Project 6, APOBEC/AID family of proteins: In the absence of the HIV accessory protein Vif, virionencapsidated APOBEC3G (A3G) causes extensive C-to-U mutations, thereby damaging newly synthesized minus-strand viral DNA). it also physically blocks RTxn. These actions render the virus noninfectious. To understand A3G's activities at the atomic level, we will determine the structures of several proteins of the APOBEC/AID family, using standard solution NMR and X-ray crystallography approaches (see NMR and X-ray Core descriptions). All APOBEC/AID proteins are cytidine deaminases that contain Zri binding clusters and exhibit a high degree of primary sequence similarity, for one-domain as well as two-domain variants. Among all the APOBECs, A3G has received the most attention, given its ability to restrict HIV in a delta Vif background. The monomeric as well as dimeric models of A3G were created based on an A2 Xray structure that exhibited a tetrameric arrangement in the crystal in striking contrast to the X-ray findings, we recently uncovered that APOBEC2 (A2) is monomeric in solution, and we have prepared labeled protein for NMR structure determination. The anticipated structure will yield important information with respect to the validity of using A2 as a surrogate model for A3G. The great importance of high-resolution structural information for A3G compels us to continue our endeavor towards obtaining a bonafide A3G structure, however, we also will study the related APOBEC3A (A3A) protein, characterizing its structure and enzymatic activity at the atomic level. Altogether the A2, A3A and, possibly, A3G structures should fill a conspicuous gap in our understanding of cytidine deamination in the context of HIV biology.

He has hardly missed a Test match since South Africa returned to the arena in 1991 and, since then, his fielding has enlivened and delighted just about the entire cricketing world. His batting has almost seemed incidental to his fielding.
It was extraordinary to realise that his recent century against Gloucestershire was only the third he has made while wearing his South African cap. In 32 Test matches, he has only scored 100, against Sri Lanka, when his 101 not out helped South Africa to save the match.
But batting at No 6 in the South African side may not have given him the chance to play that many big innings, although he has made a great many healthy and important contributions. It seems a long time ago now that Clive Lloyd, and, before him, Gary Sobers scored the bulk of their runs for the West Indies at No 6. I wonder if they would have batted that far down the order today.
Rhodes is now a much straighter batsman than he has been, with a good array of strokes, and he has become a particularly handsome driver of the ball. He has obviously worked extremely hard on his batting. The likely reason for this is that while his fielding makes him an automatic choice for South Africa's one-day side, he has found himself increasingly left out of the Test side.
His fielding was no longer saving him and he understood that, if he was to re-establish a permanent place in the side, he would have to do something about his batting. It is a tremendous credit to him that he has managed to turn himself into the player he has now become.
After his innings, even if he was a mug in the field, he would surely be one of the first on Hansie Cronje's list when he is choosing a Test side.
The fact Rhodes is worth 35 runs at least to South Africa before he even takes the field must mean that he will now be an automatic selection. His batting, as it was in this innings, is as joyful, infectious and exhilirating as his fielding. Put them both together and he is worth the gate money on his own.

#InflationAccelerating: Across the globe, reported inflation readings are poised to accelerate from post-crisis lows as easy comps, a commodity base effect and accelerating wage pressures all come to a head in the first quarter of 2014. Moreover, the reemergence of inflation as a core macro risk threatens to materially alter the investment landscape going forward.
#GrowthDivergences: Looking to the U.S., Europe, China and Japan, we see the heavyweights of the world economy diverging from an economic growth perspective as some countries and/or regions are much further along in the economic cycle than others. We highlight those divergences and identify which countries and/or regions you want to be allocating assets to at the start of the year.
#FlowShows: in Q1 we expect a continuation of fund flows out of fixed income and into equities: the "Queen Mary" has indeed turned, aided by the Fed's decision to begin tapering.
Client Talking Points
One of our themes is already playing out in Asian versus European Equities. In other words... #GrowthDivergences. After another rough market ride last night, here's the year-to-date score for Asian Equity majors: China -4.2%, KOSPI -3.3%, Nikkei -2.5%. Not pretty. Meanwhile Denmark and Austria +4.7%.
Eurozone sentiment just tagged the 100 line in December (that's a new high) versus 98.5 in November. At the same time, the EUR/USD held our Hedgeye TREND support of $1.35 like a champ. We will review our bullishness on European growth at 11am during our Q1 Macro Themes call. It's undeniable at this point that European economic data continues to accelerate.
Right on time... the taper and bubble talk in the Fed Minutes (all hawkish on the margin) are driving the short end of the curve to new 3 month highs. We're seeing 0.42% 2-year Treasury yield this morning. Meanwhile, there's no resistance on the 10-year yield to 3.05% ahead of the jobs report.
Asset Allocation
Top Long Ideas
Hedgeye's detailed and constructive view on the improving fundamentals in the M&A market with a longer term perspective is a contrarian idea at odds with the rest of the Street which is overly focused on short-term results. From an intermediate term perspective, M&A is poised to break out in 2014. We are witnessing record amounts of cash on corporate balance sheets, continued low borrowing costs and the first positive fund raising round for Private Equity in four years. Moreover, a VIX in secular decline (this has historically benefited M&A), recent incrementally positive data points from leading M&A firms that dialogue has improved, and an improving deal tally from Greenhill & Company (GHL) themselves coming out of the summer all bode favorably for GHL. So is a budding European economic recovery that would assist a global M&A market that has been range bound over the past three years. GHL stands out as a leading beneficiary of these developments.
We remain bullish on the British Pound versus the US Dollar, a position supported over the intermediate term TREND by prudent management of interest rate policy from Mark Carney at the BOE (oriented towards hiking rather than cutting as conditions improve) and the Bank maintaining its existing asset purchase program (QE). UK high frequency data continues to offer evidence of emergent strength in the economy, and in many cases the data is outperforming that of its western European peers, which should provide further strength to the currency. In short, we believe a strengthening UK economy coupled with the comparative hawkishness of the BOE (vs. Yellen et al.) will further perpetuate #StrongPound over the intermediate term.
WWW is one of the best managed and most consistent companies in retail. We're rarely fans of acquisitions, but the recent addition of Sperry, Saucony, Keds and Stride Rite (known as PLG) gives WWW a multi-year platform from which to grow. We think that the prevailing bearish view is very backward looking and leaves out a big piece of the WWW story, which is that integration of these brands into the WWW portfolio will allow the former PLG group to achieve what it could not under its former owner (most notably – international growth, and leverage a more diverse selling infrastructure in the US). Furthermore it will grow without needing to add the capital we'd otherwise expect as a stand-alone company – especially given WWW's consolidation from four divisions into three -- which improves asset turns and financial returns.

Takeaway: The last week of '13 spelled continued solid money flow into equities at the expense of bonds; Net flow was $13 B, above the avg of $7.8 B.
Investment Company Institute Mutual Fund Data and ETF Money Flow:
Total equity mutual funds experienced solid inflows for the week ending December 31st with $6.0 billion flowing into stock funds. Within the total equity fund result, domestic equity mutual funds gained $3.3 billion, the most positive result in 7 weeks, with international equity funds posting a $2.6 billion inflow. Including these year ending trends, equity mutual funds averaged a solidly positive reversal in 2013 with an average weekly inflow of $3.0 billion for the year compared to 2012's weekly average outflow of $3.0 billion.
Fixed income mutual funds continued persistent outflows during the most recent 5 day period and ended 2013 with another $2.8 billion withdrawal from bond funds. This week's draw down was a sequential improvement from the $3.4 billion lost the week prior but was still worse than the 2013 weekly average which finished at a $1.5 billion outflow for 2013. This year end average for 2013 compared to the strong weekly inflow of $5.8 billion for fixed income throughout 2012.
ETFs experienced broadly mixed trends in the most recent 5 day period, with equity products seeing heavy inflows and fixed income ETFs seeing slight outflows week-to-week. Passive equity products gained $4.5 billion for the 5 day period ending December 31st with bond ETFs experiencing a $224 million outflow. ETF products also reflect the 2013 asset allocation shift, with the weekly averages for equity products up year-over-year versus bond ETFs which are seeing weaker year-over-year results.
The net of total equity mutual fund and ETF trends against total bond mutual fund and ETF flows totaled a $13.5 billion spread for the week ($10.5 billion of total equity inflows versus over $3.0 billion in fixed income outflows). This was almost double the 2013 weekly average of a $7.8 billion spread but was well off of the largest weekly spread of $30.9 billion and the smallest equity/debt weekly spread of -$9.2 billion (negative numbers imply a net inflow into bonds for the week).
For the week ending December 31st, the Investment Company Institute reported solid equity inflows into mutual funds with $6.0 billion flowing into total stock funds. The breakout between domestic and world stock funds separated to a $3.3 billion inflow into domestic stock funds and a $2.6 billion inflow into international or world stock funds. These results for the most recent 5 day period compare to the year-to-date weekly averages of a $451 million inflow for U.S. funds and a running $2.6 billion weekly inflow for international funds. The aggregate inflow for all stock funds this year now sits at a $3.0 billion inflow, an average which has been getting progressively bigger each week and a complete reversal from the $3.0 billion outflow averaged per week in 2012.
On the fixed income side, bond funds continued their weak trends for the 5 day period ended December 31st with outflows staying persistent within the asset class. The aggregate of taxable and tax-free bond funds booked a $2.8 billion outflow, a sequential improvement from the $3.4 billion lost in the prior 5 day period but worse than the year-to-date weekly average outflow of just $1.5 billion for bond funds. Both categories of fixed income contributed to outflows with taxable bonds having redemptions of $404 million (although this outflow was the best result in 13 weeks), which joined the $2.4 billion outflow in tax-free or municipal bonds. Taxable bonds have now had outflows in 27 of the past 32 weeks and municipal bonds having had 32 consecutive weeks of outflow. These redemptions late in the year are likely tax loss selling related with the Barclay's Aggregate Bond index down nearly 2% in 2013, the first annual loss in 14 years. The 2013 weekly average for fixed income fund flows is now a $1.5 billion weekly outflow, a sharp reversal from the $5.8 billion weekly inflow averaged last year.
Hybrid mutual funds, products which combine both equity and fixed income allocations, continue to be the most stable category within the ICI survey with another $1.0 billion inflow in the most recent 5 day period, although the past 6 weeks have been below year-to-date averages. Hybrid funds have had inflow in 30 of the past 32 weeks with the 2013 weekly average inflow now at $1.5 billion, a strong advance versus the 2012 weekly average inflow of $911 million.
Passive Products:
Exchange traded funds had mixed trends within the same 5 day period ending December 31st with equity ETFs posting a strong $4.5 billion inflow, the seventh consecutive week of positive equity ETF flow. The 2013 weekly average for stock ETFs is now a $3.5 billion weekly inflow, nearly a 50% improvement from last year's $2.2 billion weekly average inflow.
Bond ETFs experienced moderate outflows for the 5 day period ending December 31st with a $224 million redemption, an improvement from the week prior which lost $1.0 billion but well below the year-to-date average of a slight weekly inflow. Taking in consideration this most recent data however, 2013 averages for bond ETFs are flagging with just a $234 million average weekly inflow for bond ETFs, much lower than the $1.0 billion average weekly inflow for 2012.
Net Results:
The net spread of all equity products including mutual fund and ETF flow tallied a $10.5 billion total inflow into all equity products in the most recent 5 day period which compared to a total fund and ETF result for fixed income of a negative $3.0 billion outflow for the week ending December 31st. Thus the net of equity minus fixed income production totaled a $13.5 billion spread in favor of equity products. This compared to the 2013 weekly average of a positive $7.8 billion spread to equities but was well off of the weekly high during last year of $30.9 billion and the weekly low of -$9.2 billion (negative numbers favor fixed income products).
With net weekly spreads continuing to favor equity products with a rising 52 week linear trend line and a favorable setup for stocks versus bonds into the beginning of this year, our favorite long asset management idea remains T Rowe Price (TROW), the manager with industry leading stock fund performance to potentially gather outsized net new assets.

We drove up here at the end of December and enjoyed the views tremendously. We were tempted but did not take any of the walking trails. Didn't feel we had to as you are at the very top at the park. The views couldn't get any better. It was a pretty drive coming up here too.
Some nice little holes and perhaps the best views especially at sunset in all of Hendersonville. A must see if visiting the area.
It was a clear day when we drove to Jump Rock and we were able to see four states from this promontory. Thankfully the wind was blowing and had blown the recent haze away. It is worth the drive up the mountain.
My husband and I came here in mid-October, hoping to see the trees changing color. Unfortunately, not much yet. And with the drought we are in, one of the local meteorologists, said the trees may go from green to brown, without showing much in the way of pretty fall colors. Well, if that happens, we still got a gorgeous view...
Winding drive to the park but well worth it. Spectacular views from the stone scenic area. If you're in Hendersonville, NC, take the short trip up on a clear day, you won't be disappointed.
I often take first-time visitors to our new mountain home to do some shopping in Hendersonville, and then I'll say... "come with me, I'd like to show you why we moved to the Blue Ridge!" we proceed west on 5th Ave up through Laurel Park to "The Rock" and watch them gasp in awe!
I was visiting in the neighborhood so I could walk - uphill - to Jump Off Rock. On a clear day, the view is spectacular and in the morning the valley fills up with clouds below a sunny sky. There are various walking trails which are tempting because they are all downhill. But returning would have to be the reverse....
This is our third visit to this spot - this time it was to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We wanted to take the easy Blue Trail but didn't have time. You drive up to the end of Laurel Pkwy and pass beautiful homes along the way. The drive up is curvy but shaded and pleasant. Parking is close to the...
To get to Jump Off Rock you drive the entire length of Laurel Park Highway, and it's a beautiful drive to the top. You may see deer or wild turkeys along the road, and once at the top, there are 3-great hiking trails of various, but very resonable distances. The view is a fabulous, and if the skies are clear...
Short hikes in and around this site. Stayed locally and hiked to the summit. Can also ride bikes to this spot (up is rough, down is fast!). Have fun
do you have to hike the trails to get to see the view, or is that extra stuff to do?
is there actually water to jump in?

Beaumont/Port Arthur
I learned a new word today — "gaslighting." I admit I am fascinated by words and having used them for years to make my living, I am constantly amazed at new discoveries even at my age. My good friend, Rusty Cluck, is a wordsmith, though he won't likely admit it to many. He comes up with some real winners from time to time, and I find myself looking for them in his writings. I wonder if Rusty has come across this word, which was new for me today.
If someone asked you today, "Are you really happy?" what would your answer be? Think about it this very moment. Are you happy on the inside where it really counts? Or are you like so many, waiting for the next big thing to happen to make you happy? Guess what, chances are that when that next big thing happens, you won't be happy then either.
We tend to use terms all of the time in the English language that we really have little idea of what they mean. For instance, in a recent column, I quickly typed the word "scapegoat," and then more slowly realized that I did not know for certain how the term originated or exactly what it meant.
Having written for a living for more years than I care to remember, I am still amazed at how the dear Lord puts things in my path, brings subjects to my mind, or has someone ask a question that gives me the idea for the next column. There are days when I sit in my lovely office staring at the computer screen wondering what words are going to magically appear for me to send off to one of the editors I call my friends. I am blessed.
When I lose a lot of sleep and have many things on mind that seemingly I cannot do anything about, I find myself drifting toward the ground of worry. The mantra I claimed for myself at the beginning of 2014 proves once again to me that God knows every single thing about His children and that He has ordained whatever will be to be. I claimed the little two-word phrase "fret not" at the beginning of the year, and we are just into the third month and I think I have about worn it out already.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

"It's very sad," said Sharlene Painter, an Aloha flight attendant for 30 years. "It was beyond our control and we were totally blindsided."

text: Archaeologists Have Dig Licenses Revoked After "Million Mummies" ClaimGeorge Dvorsky12/23/14 9:40amFiled to: science scandalsarchaeologyegyptologymummiesancient egyptBrigham Young UniversityegyptKerry Muhlesteinscience10710EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A team of archaeologists from Brigham Young University in Utah have had their excavation license revoked by the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry after claiming to have discovered "one million mummies." Top image: A "mummified" 18-month girl with bracelets on both arms (Credit: BYU Excavations)Last week, BYU team leader Kerry Muhlestein announced the discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of many ordinary citizens located at the Fag el-Gamous cemetery southwest of Cairo. The team unearthed a densely populated cemetery in which 40 individual burials could be found within a 16.4 x 16.4 feet (5 x 5 meter) area and 6.5 feet (2 meters) deep. Advertisement Muhlestein made the claim last week in Toronto at the Study of Egyptian Antiquities Scholars Colloquium. A number of news outlets picked up the story, including the Daily Mail where he was quoted as saying, "[The] maths suggests that there are over a million mummies in the cemetery, though we cannot be certain of this without further exploration and a thorough academic review process."Muhlestein's team added that a lot of wealth, "as little as they had, was poured into these burials," and that the bodies date from between the 1st Century and 7th Century AD when Egypt was controlled by Romans and Byzantines. Advertisement Youssef Khalifa from the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry refutes these claims saying there are thousands and not millions of bodies, and that they're not really mummies. The Luxor Times recently spoke to Khalifa:"What was published in the newspaper is not true. There are no million mummies, a mummy definition to begin with means a complete mummified body and there is only one mummy found at the site of Fag El Gamous in 1980 which is at the Egyptian museum since then." Dr. Youssef added "In the past few seasons of the mission's work at the site, only poor skeletons were found and some thousands of bone's remains. The mission violated the rules and regulations of the agreement with the Ministry of Antiquities concerning making press statements and that's why the committee of the ancient Egypt department took the decision to stop their permission to work at the site after 28 years of working at the site and the last season finished last March."In response, Muhlestein is quoted as saying, "I believe there have been some misunderstandings. I would like to work this out with the Ministry, for whom I have the greatest respect."So, what do you think? A true misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt to mislead? Or is this all just a silly case of semantics? Sponsored Sources: Cairo Post | Luxor Times | UPI [1] [2]Reply107 repliesLeave a reply
