Focus on Los Angeles
Focus on Los Angeles. Yes, the stars live in Los Angeles - Demi Moore eating at The Ivy, Jack Nicholson cheering at a Lakers basketball game, Jennifer Aniston on the beach - and they live here for the same reasons you visit: great leisure opportunities, exciting events and camera-ready ocean sunsets.
Surf, Sun, Stars. Have fun at Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood, then explore Beverly Hills, lush vineyards and beautiful beaches. Santa Monica, Malibu, The Getty Center Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood.
Hot LA Nights. Sunset Strip: The concentration of hot clubs makes this major route one of the best places to hear top-quality live music in the region. For over 50 years, the Troubadour has attracted great performers such as James Taylor and Elton John; it's a fun place to catch up-and-coming acts as well as big-name stars.
Best Theme Parks. Say "hi" to Mickey and friends and feel the magic of Anaheim's Disneyland Park, especially at night when it lights up with parades and fireworks. Next-door at Disney's California Adventure, take a simulated hang glider tour in Soarin' Over California or ride the adrenalin-pumping The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
Friendly San Diego. See dolphins, polar bears and exciting shows, before enjoying entertaining amusement-park rides at SeaWorld. Stroll through the hip gaslamp Quarter for outdoor dining and nightclubs. Parents, let the kids play at The New Children's Museum, with interactive exhibits, then enjoy romantic skyline views, steaks and seafood at the Island Prime restaurant.
San Diego County. San Diego County is blessed with undeniable riches and the perfect climate to enjoy them. Outdoor enthusiasts can snorkel, go mountain biking or play golf. Wildlife is another big part of the region's allure, with some of the world's best zoos and wild animal facilities open all year-round, migrating whales off the coast from late December to March and hawks soaring in the sky throughout the year.
Orange County. With miles of sun-kissed beaches and some of the world's best-loved theme parks, it's no surprise that Orange County makes it onto most visitors' must-see lists. With Disneyland Park, Disney's California Adventure Park and Knott's Berry Farm all within the region, "OC" makes a fantastic family destination.
Catalina's Charms. With its exotic island setting, sweeping ocean views and almost unlimited activities, it's easy to see why Catalina Island has beguiled visitors for generations. Take an express sea shuttle 22mi/35km across the sparkling Pacific, and then relax in the town of Avalon, a hamlet rich in movie-star history and romance.
8 Perfect Beaches. With hundreds of miles of coastline, it's not surprising that there's no shortage of beaches along the edge of the Pacific. Here are eight favorites, listed north (colder water but wildly beautiful) to south (warm waves and bronzed bodies).
Inland Empire. With spectacular peaks and dramatic deserts, the Inland Empire region of Southern California is home to great contrasts, beauty and experiences. To the north, nestling along the aptly named rim of the World Scenic Byway, the San Bernardino Mountain communities of Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake provide alpine playgrounds where you can fish, sail and cycle in summer.
LA north to mountain. Visit world-class museums, such as the new and dazzling Broad Contemporary Art Museum, at the los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art complex where you can view over 15,000 works. tour the soaring, stainless-steel Walt disney Concert hall (home of the los Angeles Philharmonic). For great fashion finds, explore the LA.
Desert. Running along the eastern edge of California for roughly half its length, the state's strikingly beautiful deserts are enigmatic and surprisingly varied. to the northeast is death Valley National Park, home to the lowest spot in the Western hemisphere. Fewer than 100mi/161km southeast is the high-desert terrain of Mojave National Preserve, a major recreation area.
Romancing the Desert. A romantic escape means reducing the world to just two people. Where better to do that than the desert? At Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, you're surrounded by 600,000 acres of, well, almost nothing. But the nothing that is there is truly spectacular and it offers the perfect framework for romance.
Central Coast castles. At the Ferry Building Marketplace on the Embarcadero, enjoy a culinary wonderland, with organic produce and excellent dining. In the Presidio, stretch your legs along the bay front from Crissy Field to Fort Point, under the Golden Gate Bridge. Downtown, check out over 200 stores at Westfield San Francisco.
Central Coast. From the stunning array of aquatic life around Monterey to the range of rare wildlife on the pristine Channel Islands, the Central Coast is a nature lover's heaven and enough to keep any visitor entranced. Other destinations beckon too, such as the opulent Hearst Castle, situated roughly halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
California Winery. A visit to California's beautiful wineries can go far beyond sipping wines. Here are just some of the special events and activities throughout California. Winery tasting rooms are open daily: holiday schedules may vary.

Brace yourself for the ultimate in lively luxury, because we're about to tour a property that leaves nothing to be desired. Designed by Rio de Janeiro's Escala Arquitetura, this home presents the perfect manifestation of villa-style living, as its coastal location, open-plan design and character-driven interior combine to produce an abode that is modern, luxurious and brimming with personality.
From the outset the villa stuns with an open, symmetrical facade, with its white walls and pillars supporting an Asian-style, tiled roof. The home rests in stylish serenity on a beautifully manicured green lawn, with chic, white outdoor furniture scattered about the yard, providing multiple places to relax and recline or laze by the crystal waters of the home's swimming pool.
Moving inside and it's immediately apparent that the designers have sought to capitalise on the warm, Brazilian climate to create an abode that beautifully blends indoor and outdoor living, with plenty of space to unwind or entertain whenever either mood arises. The interior of the villa is lively and inviting, with pale walls and furnishings and deep wooden finishes providing a classic backdrop for bursts of colour in the fresh flowers, artwork and decorative cushions scattered throughout. The space oozes happy comfort, creating the ideal home in which to while away the warm Brazilian weather in style and luxury.
The exterior of this brilliant villa exudes unique luxury, with its novel, Asian-style facade presenting a warm and open home. Soft light streams out into the yard beyond, providing hints of the lively living to be found indoors. The garden houses a simple, spacious swimming pool, decked by weather-worn timber slats which ease the space with a relaxed sense of history.
About the fresh, green lawn is an array of garden furniture, inviting the occupants to laze by the pool, brunch at the dining setting or recline on the sofas at a whim.
The interior of the home is brimming with personality, with a subtle mariner theme used throughout the decoration to pay homage to the dwelling's coastal locale. Fresh flowers brighten the smooth wooden finishes and pale white walls, with comfortable furnishings included in the same colour palette to promote continuity of design. Bursts of colour also stem from the modern artwork and floral cushions, adding to the sense of character within the space.
A sleek, wooden credenza houses a television and bar, laying the foundation for a relaxed night in front of a film or cocktails and lively conversation with friends and family.
The bathroom evokes the classic colour scheme of wood and white which has been used throughout the remainder of the home. The modern lines of a bespoke, wooden sink unit stand out within the space, with its cool, caramel tones warming the room.
The remainder of the room is pristine in white and alabaster, with a large shower unit providing an additional sense of luxury and its tiled interior adding a subtle textural contrast relative to the smooth walls, glass and mirror.
Moving through to the exterior of the home and we stumble across this stunning dining setting, sitting in classic style on the villa's patio. The simple design of the setting appears warm and humble, with strong wooden finishes laying the perfect foundation for a hearty meal and great conversation amidst a cool, coastal breeze.
Behind the dining area we see that the predominance of wood and white decor has been broken by a flash of colour, with a blue feature wall combining beautifully with the green hues of the garden beyond. A minimalistic, wooden stairwell paves a peaceful ascension to the bedrooms upstairs.
Further afield in the patio and we gain insight into the open design of this lovely villa, with the indoor and outdoor living areas blending into one another in a relaxed ambience. The palette of white and wood has been retained, with colourful, patterned cushions spicing up the subdued tones of the sofas, and fresh flowers bursting forth from behind.
Large, glass sliding doors provide the means for a smooth transition between each area, creating the ideal locale to host a relaxed dinner that flows through to drinks on the patio or a larger party, for which the combined indoor and outdoor entertaining areas are needed.
This perspective displays the overall layout of the patio area as well as an interesting differentiation within the design, with the home's white, wooden ceilings abandoned in favour of a woven effect. The contrast is lovely, with the thin, wooden strips still in keeping with the villa's prevailing decor, but adding a warm and rustic touch to this space.
A vintage chest rests beneath the ceiling, contributing its own traditional feel and adding another layer of personality to the home. In the distance we can see the beginnings of a second outdoor dining area and the choppy blue of the sea beyond the green lawn and garden.
At the opposite end of the patio, and also sheltered beneath the intriguing texture of a woven ceiling, is a second dining area with a more relaxed feel. The beautiful deckchairs seen here present a unique design, with the hobbled lengths of wood used in their construction contributing strength and texture to the setting. The table is light and moveable, in case the party decides to take their discourse even further afield, perching the setting upon the lawn nearby.
They might not stray too far though, with a small bar included within a humble wooden alcove, providing all the necessities for evening cocktails.

I'll try to work on the all-black problem when I get home tonight.
In the Dept of Tivo Rebooting, I'm sorry to say I rebooted the Tivo last night when I tried to connect UI to it without dserver.tcl running. It read 22 of about 60 shows and then rebooted. I could not repro the rebooting. I was tuned in to HBO HD at the time it rebooted, so it may be that there was not enough CPU available, but I could not repro the rebooting with logging turned on.
I have never had a reboot when dserver.tcl is already running, even with the "experimental" S2 binaries. Unless you think it is a really bad idea, I will probably launch dserver.tcl from rc.sysinit.author. I wonder if it makes sense for your code to even try to do it remotely, since it seems to be so risky (for me, anyway).

I am a very lucky person in very many ways. I am aware of that and I thank my lucky stars every single day. Not only was I born into a very loving and large and connected family but I have, in my 40+ years on this earth, gathered up a goodly amount of amazing friends. And believe me when I say this network of family and friends is definitely not something I take for granted. Ever.
And the fact that I continuously meet new people on this life's journey is one of the biggest surprises of my adult experience. And the very thing I tell teens when asked about life's great surprises. Really? Amazing people just keep showing up? Yup.
This weekend was a great example of that. A couple of hundred women all gathered in one room to listen, learn and share ideas at the bi-annual MomCom Austin event. I was invited to share the stage with my dear friend Carrie Contey and together we spoke on the subject of Building Your Tribe. We told the story of how our group of 7 women came together to work, share, learn, inspire and support each other through this thing called life. Though we initially came together to find more ways to stay in our creative flow in the midst of early parenting, what we've become to each other over the past 8 years has been more than we could ever have imagined. And though we came together intentionally, with our work as our focus, we had no idea we were forming a group that would still be together this many years later. And we had no idea we were forming a group that has been and continues to be so instrumental to all of us personally and professionally and that we see now will likely last our whole lives long.
Lucky us for sure.
With hindsight as our guide, Carrie and I prepared for our talk by pondering the things that made the group work. The things that continuously bond and inspire us, not only as a connected group, but, individually, the things that bring us to our very best selves. Everyday. And the things that make us feel lucky. Everyday. And the things that have made it work and last and be the very essence of goodness that we all have come to count on.
So here in 10 easy steps are some ideas for creating your own Goodness. To inspire you and make your life even luckier than it currently is…
10 Ways to Create Your Own Tribe…
- Start small and stay small – too many people and you won't feel obliged to show up because you'll feel you won't be missed if you're not there. Though it feels strange to keep it tight, if you open it too big, it won't be sustainable.
- Find a couple of women you love and ask them to find one more person – this creates an immediate circle of women who will probably get along.
- Find a common thread and work from there – maybe you're all mamas or artists or marathon runners or some such. A common ground is a great starting point
- Start with a clear intention – workshop, retreat, etc. Especially if you start off with something that you pay for which will make you more likely to commit fully to it.
- Keep it purposeful – the social is fun but the purposeful intention and commitment to a book or exercise or something definitive gives you reason to show up fully and regularly.
- Hire someone every now and again to bring you to a new level – when the group needs a bump up, hire out to reignite the commitment.
- Make a regular meeting time – rather than having to discuss it each week or each month, make it the same – Tuesday nights or First Thursday or something to give it it's rightful place.
- Find a sustainable time slot – something that won't be easily pre-empted by some other meeting or family need.
- Name it -by naming it you can call it and by calling it you are acknowledging it's powerful existence.
- Ask your family for support. Even your kids. Ask them to joyfully give you the space and ask them to encourage you to meet up regularly. Remind them of all you get from it, which in turn will mean they too will get something from it.
So go on. Make your own Tribe. Your world will be better off for it. That I guarantee.

So I don't know if you've noticed, but there's been no Sunday School from Nelson for 3 weeks! It's something I looked forward to every Sunday. I figured that if I did, some one else probably did, too.
I don't know if his posts were something that he did on his own or what, but I decided that I'd just go ahead and step up until Nelson either comes back from wherever, I'm told to not to do this, or I can't do it for whatever circumstance. Without further ado...
With the recent publicity of Roy Costner, Hemant Mehta points out another similar situation where the school administrators turned off the microphone when the student veered from his remarks to talk about Jesus.
Jerry Coyne gives a two part rebuttal to two different posts by Eric Macdonald which Jerry says espouse three themes: "the failures of New Atheism, especially its inability to replace what religion gives people; the dangers of scientism, which Eric apparently sees as a pervasive and destructive attitude; and the fact that there are Ways of Knowing other than science."
Over at rationally speaking, Leonard Finkelman takes on the concept of "de-extinction."
Christian apologist, Calum Miller, takes on William Lane Craig and the Kalam Argument pointing out where it fails. Let's hope more Christian apologists follow suit.
Stephen King was recently interviewed by NPR and insinuated that the godless are missing out on the wonder and beauty of the world because they don't believe. Archaeologist and writer, Brian Switek replies over at National Geographic.
While on the topic of archeology...
By analyzing ratios of stable carbon isotopes in ancient hominin teeth, it seems that our ancient ancestors didn't eat a so called "paleo" diet.
The oldest fossilized record of cancer was found in a 120,000 year old rib of a Neanderthal.
Looks like Archeopteryx isn't the earliest in the bird lineage. That distinction may now belong to a small dinosaur found in China that lived approximately 160 million years ago, Aurornis Xui.
Also in China, Archicebus achilles, a tiny primate fossil was unearthed that may be the link between tree-dwelling primates and tarsiers since it has many physical traits of both.
A team of researchers has figured out what makes ancient roman concrete stronger and more durable then modern concrete: lime, volcanic stone, and seawater. This could lead to not just stronger structures, but could reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry where the creation of Portland cement, the glue that holds together modern concrete, accounts for 7% of industrial carbon dioxide output.
In our oceans...
The Great Barrier Reef is losing coral at an "alarming rate."
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute release pictures of trash and other human debris that has fallen thousands of meters to the sea floor.
The NOAA predicts a higher than average number of named storms this hurricane season giving it a "70% likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms" partially due to "warmer-than-average water temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea."
The WHO confirms a 31st death related to MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus).
The WHO has very real concerns that Saudi Arabia isn't doing enough to locate the source of the virus. Since we still don't know the infection rate, source, or incubation time, there is potential for a global pandemic as Ramadan approaches.
If you haven't heard of MERS-CoV, here's a FAQ from the CDC.

Wal-Mart has been in some trouble recently. Protesters, some of whom who had restraining orders issued against them, gathered outside their annual stockholder meeting which featured appearance by Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise, and Kelly Clarkson. Out of the four hour meeting, 15 minutes was devoted to time where shareholders could present proposals. Issues brought up were about Wal-Mart's refusal to join European retailers in a pact to improve safety in Bangladesh, executive pay vs. thecut hours and cut pay that Wal-Mart workers have faced, and fallout from widespread corruption in Wal-Mart practices in Mexico that surfaced last year. All of this comes on the heels of a report, admittedly written by Democratic congressional aides, about how one Wal-Mart supercenter in California costs the taxpayers there at least $904,000 annually.

It's only when you start to compile it that you understand how much time and effort it takes to do so on a regular basis. Thanks.
Oh yeah. And I had to find stuff and read it all, too! Not that I'm complaining about that part.
Great Job SH... you have been true to Nelson's format and found great stories as well. I think he would appreciate your efforts!
Great work and thanks for compiling this.
Thanks so much! I've truly missed Sunday School. I appreciate your effort.
There is now a Sunday School group where all new contributions will be posted from now on.
Thank you SH, great reads!


text: The Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) and Medicago Inc announced at the World Vaccine Congress that the Phase I clinical trial for their H5N1 Avian Influenza VLP vaccine candidate has shown positive interim results. The H5N1 vaccine was found to be safe and well-tolerated and induced a solid immune response exceeding the three CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) immunogenicity criteria for licensure of influenza vaccines. The vaccine was tested in three different configurations: using IDRI's Glucopyranosyl Lipid A ("GLA") formulated adjuvant, given both intramuscularly and intradermally, and using alum intramuscularly. All three configurations exceeded the CHMP criteria. "These positive U.S. clinical trial results confirm that our H5N1 vaccine candidate is the best in class in our opinion, positioning Medicago as a significant player in the global pandemic market. The robustness of our H5N1 vaccine coupled with our rapid speed of production, offers a vastly improved solution in preparing for and managing potential pandemics. We also believe that our H5N1 vaccine with alum is the only alum-adjuvanted pandemic vaccine to achieve the three CHMP immunogenicity criteria," said Andy Sheldon, President and CEO of Medicago. "Moreover, the combination of our vaccine candidate with IDRI's adjuvant generated a robust immune response. In the case of a pandemic, governments will require the rapid development of an effective vaccine within their borders to conquer the spread of the virus, with our cost-effective and capital inexpensive system we are perfectly poised to obtain this objective. In summary, all three configurations tested of the H5N1 vaccine meet the CHMP criteria for licensure, placing us in a strong position with multiple product options. We will further investigate the use of alum and formulated GLA in a Phase II trial to be initiated in May 2013 with results expected in Q3 2013." The trial results also underscore IDRI's leadership position in the field of adjuvants, with a focus on developing products that will reduce the burden of global infectious disease. "This study design and results demonstrate the potential for significant 'dose-sparing' -- increasing the number of available doses by reducing the amount of vaccine needed per individual, in a simple to administer format," said Dr. Steven Reed, IDRI Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer, who presented the trial results at the World Vaccine Congress, along with Dr. Brian Ward, Professor of Medicine & Microbiology, McGill University, member of Medicago's scientific advisory committee and Medical Officer. "This H5N1 vaccine candidate represents the next generation of flu vaccines, combining our adjuvant technology with Medicago's rapid VLP technology and the intradermal delivery device from NanoPass." Study Design The Phase I clinical trial, which commenced in September 2012, enrolled 100 healthy adult volunteers, aged 18-49 years, at three locations in the U.S., testing for safety and immune response. The vaccine was also tested in comparison to Medicago's H5N1 vaccine with alum. The trial is funded by a multi-million dollar grant IDRI received from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a division of the United States Department of Defense, to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of a novel adjuvant with a Nicotiana benthamiana produced vaccine candidate. Each study participant in the trial received two doses of a given formulation in order to collect and compare data. The trial focused on evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of the H5N1 vaccine, combined with IDRI's GLA adjuvant, which has been exclusively licensed to Immune Design Corp for certain fields, including influenza. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly or intradermally. The intradermal route of administration was also tested in comparison with intramuscular delivery, using an FDA licensed device (MicronJet600®, NanoPass Technologies) as the micro-needle device was previously shown in seasonal and pandemic flu tests to allow significant dose sparing. This study is among the first to test intradermal adjuvants and is the first time GLA has been tested intradermally. Safety and Immunogenicity Results The H5N1 vaccine candidate has been tested in over 300 healthy volunteers to date, none of which have experienced any serious adverse reactions. The H5N1 vaccine candidate was found to be safe and well tolerated. As planned in the clinical design, monitoring of adverse events will continue for one year. All three configurations of adjuvant and route of administration for 20ug of the H5N1 vaccine candidate induced a solid immune response against the H5N1 viral strain that exceeded the CHMP immunogenicity criteria for licensure of influenza vaccines which are 40% seroconversion, 70% seroprotection and 2.5x geometric mean increase (GMI). For a 20ug dose of the H5N1 vaccine plus; 2.5ug GLA-AF administered intradermally (ID), 2.5ug GLA-AF delivered Intramuscularly (IM) and 0.5ug alum formulation administered IM, a four-fold increase in HI titers (seroconversion) was observed in 65.0%, 80.0% and 83.3% of subjects, respectively. The seroprotection rate was 70.0%, 85.0% and 89.9%, respectively. The GMI was 10.3x, 8.7x, and 11.4x, respectively. About H5N1 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus is a deadly virus that occurs mainly in birds including domestic poultry. Though relatively rare, sporadic human infections with this virus have occurred and caused serious illness and death. Because of the unpredictability of pandemic flu, efforts are being made to create and stockpile a vaccine to combat H5N1 that reduces the amount of vaccine needed per person and can be easily administered. About Medicago's pandemic flu vaccine candidate Medicago's H5N1 vaccine candidate was formulated to protect against the Indonesian influenza virus. It is manufactured in Nicotiana benthamiana, a relative of the tobacco plant, using the Company's proprietary VLP technology. VLPs may have several advantages over traditional flu vaccines. They are made to look like a virus, allowing them to be recognized readily by the body's immune system, however, they lack the core genetic material making them non-infectious and unable to replicate. Medicago's technology only requires the genetic sequence of a viral strain and not the live influenza virus. This key difference allows vaccines to be manufactured within four weeks of obtaining the genetic sequence of a pandemic strain. This is in contrast with current manufacturing technologies which rely on strain adaptation and can only deliver a vaccine six months after a pandemic is declared.

On July 1, we updated the analytical country classification, which groups economies of the world into four categories based on 2012 GNI per capita estimates: low income, lower-middle income, upper-middle income, and high income. This has prompted some questions related to the review of this classification scheme, which we announced late last year and for which we solicited and received your feedback. I thought it would be useful to post an update.
First let me reiterate an important point that I made in my original post, and appears to have been misunderstood by some readers: the focus of this review is the analytical country classification, which is provided purely for the purposes of analysis. Possible uses include the calculation of aggregate indicator values for each of the four groups, or tracking the change in the classification of specific countries over time. Please note that this classification system is not used by the World Bank for resource allocation purposes.
Our work on the analytical classification so far has gathered perspectives of various users inside and outside the Bank, and has identified three main areas of priority focus that we will examine further. These are:
- Relative vs absolute groupings. Some users prefer a system which maintains constant, "absolute" thresholds over time, while others would prefer a relative method of classification. Methods for creating relative groupings range from simple country rankings to statistical techniques such as cluster analysis.
- Use of other variables instead of – or as well as – GNI per capita. Some users have expressed interest in a classification based on various measures of welfare, poverty, or economic and social progress, while others find the current measure fit for their purpose.
- Adjusting the current methodology to take account of changing circumstances, including the availability of improved data. Options include a change to the method used to convert GNI per capita to a common currency, particularly to consider the use of the new purchasing power parity estimates that will be released by the International Comparison Program in December 2013; methods to reduce the sensitivity of the classification to revisions of estimates of GDP or population size, and to exchange rate movements, especially for countries that are close to each threshold value; and improvements in the method used to maintain the threshold values constant in real terms.
Going forward, we intend to examine each of these issues more closely, including conducting empirical work to examine the impact of any change. It is clear from our initial work that the analytical classification is very important to many more users than we originally knew, so we will proceed deliberately and carefully, and will aim to post findings of the work as it progresses. Users should be aware that the review will take some time, especially since we will need to fully evaluate the results of the 2011 ICP following the expected release of new benchmark purchasing power parities in December 2013. Consultations with users remain central to us as we move ahead, thus I would welcome your feedback on the priority areas identified so far, and any other comments on whether the analytical classification is fit for your purpose; while we have tried to identify as many users as possible in our initial review, we do not know all the uses to which the classification is put. I encourage you to post your comments on this blog, or write to either myself ([email protected]) or the project manager for this review, William Prince ([email protected]).

The original analytical high-income threshold of $6,000 in 1987 prices that was created in 1989 was agreed to by the Bank's Executive Board in order to have all the countries previously classified as "industrial" classified as high income. Updating that threshold each year with the international inflation rate gets you to $12,616 in 2012. It's important to stress Shaida's point that the analytical classifications have no bearing on the World Bank's lending operations. When consulted by users we advise they apply these classifications flexibly and consider other factors if they are going to use them for any purpose, such as in their allocation decisions, since (as noted on the classification website) "GNI does not, by itself, constitute or measure welfare or success in development." No single measure does. You ask if there is a rationale for these thresholds? One purpose for the Data Group is as a way to group countries for presentation in publications, such as World Development Indicators. Are there better ways to group countries than the method we are using? That's what our review is all about. As such, we look forward to the results of the 2011 round of The International Comparison Program (ICP) to be released in December (http://icp.worldbank.org/), as a careful analysis of the new purchasing parity power data will inform our decision on future classification schemes.
The fact that the $6,000 cut-off in 1989 ($12,616 today when updated for international inflation) assured that all the countries previously classified as "industrial" were re-labeled "high income" does not get us very far in understanding the meaning and relevance today of the $12,616 threshold, or even the relevance of $6,000 in 1989.
So I am none the wiser on the answer to my original question: Why $12,616? Your website claims that there is a "stable relationship with poverty and infant mortality." That would be interesting to see, but users of your website can find no documentation. Every year (for many years) these income classifications are revised with essentially the same minimal and puzzling documentation. And believe me the attention these classifications get is not just from "analytic users." They have huge influence.
If there is really nothing to these classifications that the Bank has produced for decades then it would be good to finally tell users. And, as I say in my reply to Shaida's post, while the review you refer to is welcome, it is surely unwise to keep updating and publishing these classifications when you have not yet sorted out how they should be done.
Thanks for the update. We are still in the dark about the basis for these influential country classifications that you and your team keep publishing. For example, as I asked in my CGD post with reference to the "High-Income Country" threshold, why $12,616? (http://www.cgdev.org/blog/why-12616?utm_content=buffer705b6&utm_source=b...)
It seems a stretch to suggest that your country classifications are only intended for "analytic" purposes. (And, as an aside, I am not sure what those purposes may be.) You must know that these income classifications are watched closely by (governmental and non-governmental) aid agencies across the globe. For example, the UK government uses them in its foreign aid decisions, which has led to much concern; see for example, Jonathan Glennie's post just yesterday regarding India, on the Guardian's Poverty Matters blog. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jul/10...)
If there is some rationale to these thresholds then please tell us. If not then we deserve to know that too, so your well-intentioned data users don't put more weight on the numbers than they can reasonably bear.
The review you describe (as last year) is welcome. But maybe you should seriously consider not publishing these classifications until you have sorted out how they should be done, in your ongoing review.

Pierre Renoir:
French Impressionist Painter, 1841-1919
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841?CDecember 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau".
Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. The female nude was one of his primary subjects. In characteristic Impressionist style, Renoir suggested the details of a scene through freely brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their surroundings.
His initial paintings show the influence of the colorism of Eugene Delacroix and the luminosity of Camille Corot. He also admired the realism of Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet, and his early work resembles theirs in his use of black as a color. As well, Renoir admired Edgar Degas' sense of movement. Another painter Renoir greatly admired was the 18th century master François Boucher.
A fine example of Renoir's early work, and evidence of the influence of Courbet's realism, is Diana, 1867. Ostensibly a mythological subject, the painting is a naturalistic studio work, the figure carefully observed, solidly modeled, and superimposed upon a contrived landscape. If the work is still a 'student' piece, already Renoir's heightened personal response to female sensuality is present. The model was Lise Tr??hot, then the artist's mistress and inspiration for a number of paintings.
In the late 1860s, through the practice of painting light and water en plein air (in the open air), he and his friend Claude Monet discovered that the color of shadows is not brown or black, but the reflected color of the objects surrounding them. Several pairs of paintings exist in which Renoir and Monet, working side-by-side, depicted the same scenes (La Grenouill??re, 1869).
One of the best known Impressionist works is Renoir's 1876 Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette). The painting depicts an open-air scene, crowded with people, at a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre, close to where he lived.
On the Terrace, oil on canvas, 1881, Art Institute of ChicagoThe works of his early maturity were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling colour and light. By the mid 1880s, however, he had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits and figure paintings, particularly of women, such as The Bathers, which was created during 1884-87. It was a trip to Italy in 1881, when he saw works by Raphael and other Renaissance masters, that convinced him that he was on the wrong path, and for the next several years he painted in a more severe style, in an attempt to return to classicism. This is sometimes called his "Ingres period", as he concentrated on his drawing and emphasized the outlines of figures.
After 1890, however, he changed direction again, returning to the use of thinly brushed color which dissolved outlines as in his earlier work. From this period onward he concentrated especially on monumental nudes and domestic scenes, fine examples of which are Girls at the Piano, 1892, and Grandes Baigneuses, 1918-19. The latter painting is the most typical and successful of Renoir's late, abundantly fleshed nudes.
A prolific artist, he made several thousand paintings. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style made his paintings some of the most well-known and frequently-reproduced works in the history of art.. china oil painting Pierre Renoir Doges' Palace, Venice

Warring news-tribes, angered by the Panorama investigation, opened fire on studios where radical BBC 1 journalists are known to be in occupation. Fierce hand to hand fighting at BBC Television Centre escalated into a mortar battle in the early hours, as BBC 1 responded with heavy rounds of rocket fire, killing four Newsnight producers and prompting an application for voluntary redundancy from a fifth. Blue helmeted health and safety officials tried to separate the fighters, but were unable to produce the correct paperwork, and were asked to leave at gunpoint by privatised security staff.
Meanwhile, BBC3 Militiamen, long envious of the perceived success of BBC 6 music which was recently rescued from a death sentence, launched a drone attack on the BBC 6 Studios. Ken Bruce, who was eating his sandwiches in a nearby office, took a direct hit to his Thermos flask – increasing the prospects of Radio 2 being drawn in to the dispute.
Outside the ruins of Broadcasting House, a compassionate-weary Orla Guerin dressed in helmet and bullet-proof vest reported the plight of legions of outsourced IT and administrative staff, made homeless by the fighting and waiting in the rain. Makeshift refugee camps have been set up in the Oxford Street branch of John Lewis and Debenhams. (Bedding Departments)
"What makes this tragedy even worse, is the widespread hunger caused to those who have nothing to do with the fighting," Ms Guerin told a makeshift audience. "Outsourced catering staff, fearing for their lives, have fled the battle scenes, leaving tea bars and soup 'n' baguette franchises empty and workers without sources of food. Even the World Service Kofi Annan Bar has been occupied by Entwistle extremists. Now, as the winter sets in, the seriousness of the situation can only deepen. Reports of local radio stations forming separate tribal militias means this is a Corporation in ever growing turmoil, where nobody's role is safe again. Ever. But never mind. Here's the Carpenters to cheer you up, with Yesterday Once More. Orla Guerin. News at Ten. London."

Gold ETF Gets First Inflow in a Month; Speculators Back?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Are investors getting less bearish on gold? They just staged the first inflow to the gold ETF in a month.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) logged 7.5 tons in new holdings on Friday, according to SPDR. The inflow was the biggest for a single day since October 2012, according to Commerzbank's commodity strategists, who are encouraged:
If this turns out to signal a trend reversal, it is likely to lend buoyancy to the gold price. The high outflows from the gold ETFs observed since the beginning of last year were one major reason for the weak gold price.
Separate data Friday from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed hedge funds and other speculative investors making more use of bullish gold and silver options and futures. Here's more from Clara Denina and Nia Williams of Reuters:
As a gauge of investor sentiment, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed on Friday that hedge funds and money managers raised their bullish bets on gold and silver futures and options for a third week amid a decline in equities.
"The speculative data last week was quite interesting because both longs and shorts rose, indicating that the market is still very much confused on where to go next," Saxo Bank senior manager Ole Hansen said.
"It is not a sudden shift to one side of the equation, and until we see that, there is going to be quite a significant hurdle to break through current levels."
The most actively traded gold futures contract is down 1.2% on Tuesday to $1,236.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is falling 1.4% ahead of the regular session, while Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is off by 1.5%. The leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are moving by more than 4% apiece and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 2.5%.
