That has always been my clue that I was PG...no PMS mood swings...so now that they have started full force, I'm convinced it wasn't our month but I'm ok- not too disappointed as it was only 1st month trying..
So...Wrnglers there is still hope for you!!! I don't think the cheapy test are as good at early detection....how are you feeling? Any PG/or PMS symptoms?That is soo cool we are right on same cycle schedules....although, sill hoping this will be it for you and you won't have to worry about cycles for next nine months!
Desert! Are you going crazy?!?! Are you going to try and test again? Cause you could've totally tested too early at 8DPO! You are 2 days late- get to testing girl!!! Prayin for you to have that BFP!
Okay Hockeygirl! It's your turn to jump on the testing bandwagon soon!! LOL! But I get where you are at...it's so exciting to get to start testing but then disappointing if it's BFN!

Hockey, it may be weird that you are talkng about your cm, but it's even weirder that I am thinking about your cm, LOL!!! I just think it sounds promising and I am excited for you to test.
Here's the weird thing--it's as though everything about my period started, went on for a day or so, then stopped. With as heavy, bloated, and crampy as I'm feeling, I can't believe I haven't seen AF! And now, the pms symptoms are starting to recede. DH is so hopeful, but I don't want to get my hopes up since this is only first cycle. OK, so I am getting dressed to go do a show tonight, so I'll be distracted enough not to test. If I get home and no AF, I will test tonight or tomorrow at 3 days late and 14dpo. I will let you ladies know as soon as I get a result (if AF doesn't show)!
KMFX for all of you!!!!

Welcome to January and even more fantasy football! Perhaps you're new to NFL postseason pools, but they can be loads of fun because it's different from the regular season when each team plays an equal number of games. In a playoff pool you want to invest in players you think will advance to the Super Bowl and if you guess right, it's a blast watching the big February game with a little bit more on the line.
So here are one man's rankings using standard fantasy scoring and 10 or 12 teams, plus you draft once and all your options are active. No changes after the first playoff weekend. It's more fun that way, frankly. Anyway, this isn't head-to-head but rather it's all the teams in your pool against one another and then total up the points at the end. Production is key, but volume of games can trump it. If you really think a certain team is going all the way, invest there and enjoy!

The Baku-based think tank the Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) has just released a survey titled "Islam in Azerbaijan." The poll questioned 2000 residents across the country in 2012 and provides useful insights into current religious trends, around which there is a general lack of understanding, both domestically and internationally.
Under Soviet rule, Azerbaijanis, along with other Muslim peoples in the USSR, were prevented from practicing their religion. After independence, the country's religious tradition lacked any kind of strong national framework, and it was vulnerable to the influence of neighboring countries. Given the absence of independent information and instruction on the Islamic faith during the early 1990s, people were easily drawn in by Islamic "missionaries" who claimed to represent the true meaning of Islam, while the mosques were filled with mullahs educated in Iran. The two-fold failure of Azerbaijan's authorities to provide religious education or to address the use of Islamic education as a conduit for national propaganda by external actors (notably Iran), increased societal divisions when it came to religion. If there was a winner, it was the external actors who gained influence among Azerbaijan's Muslim populations (again, Iran, also the Saudi-oriented Salafi movement), where they portrayed secularism as the rival of Islam. The increasing size of the radical movement in recent years has proved once more that young generations are vulnerable to unfiltered radical propaganda in mosques and religious communities, and the threat of conflict between various Islamic sects is no longer fiction.
The new study is timely, bringing an interesting and modern picture of Islam's place in society and its relationship with the secular character of the state. Though the study only represents the views of a small part of the population, it provides an important starting point for understanding Islam in Azerbaijan.
According to the findings, 30.2% identify themselves as committed believers in God, while 66% say they are "simply believers." The same poll found that that 10.3% of respondents said that over the last five years, they had begun to believe more than they had in the past. The survey gets interesting when we begin to look at the sources of religious education. Just over a fifth of respondents, or 21.8%, said that they had learned about Islam from religious books other than the Koran, 16% from the Koran itself, 27.2% from television, 34.4% from friends and family, 34.2% from burial ceremonies, and 10.4% from visiting Islamic religious places (including mosques, etc.). In short, close to 70% of Azerbaijanis learn about Islam from questionable sources, and in that sense they are extremely vulnerable to misinformation in the name of Islam. The corollary to that, of course, is that the Islamic faith itself is exposed to distortion -- an increasing worry in the post-9/11 era where Islam is often subject to a knee-jerk association with fundamentalism.
The question of religious education is part of a long-running debate in Azerbaijan in terms of delivery, content and context. The majority of the population is not eager to see religious teaching in secondary schools and colleges. The poll's coordinator and a research fellow at the CSS, Sahib Jafarov, stated that putting religious education in the curriculum of state schools is incompatible with the goals and ideology of a secular state. He adds that "the only way to educate people about Islam, and to accurately represent moderate Islam is with the participation of the mass media, due to the perception that the mass media is a primary source of information among the population."
Actually, what Jafarov suggests is that even a commitment from the media would be insufficient to address the knowledge and understanding deficit. Only a rounded and balanced religious education program can do that. While the poll found that people are becoming more interested religious issues, it also revealed that paradoxically, more than 50% "do not fast currently, or plan to in the future;" 57% do not perform Namaz; 42% do not attend a mosque; 32% only go to the mosque and other holy places during Muharram, the first sacred month in the Islamic calendar.
The main debate about Islam in Azerbaijan revolves around the radical version of Shi'a Islam, imported from Iran. There is also the Wahhabi congregation from the Middle East, which is very active in the North Caucasus. However, it is important to remember that there are several other religious groups also battling for influence. Even the Salafi/Wahhabi movement has not succeeded in filling the religious vacuum: 45% of respondents expressed active distaste for Wahhabism, and a further 15% said they didn't like the behavior of the Wahhabis, and 30% said that they associate the branch with extremism. This is mainly due to broadcast media coverage, which especially since 9/11, has portrayed links between the extremist religious movement and terrorist activities in Middle East. There has also been local upset. Last year, a group was arrested following a foiled plot to attack Western embassies in Baku.
In 2010 the national debate on the place of Islam in society escalated when Azerbaijan banned the wearing of the hijab in secondary schools, which sparked protests. The ban is supported by 46% of the survey's respondents, while 40% are neutral. Generally speaking, the public considers the hijab ban as an initial step in combating radical Islam. With regard to the question of national governance and state identity, only 5% support a religious state, while more than 50% are in favor of a secular state.
These findings demonstrate first and foremost the need for religious education, the importance of public debate, and the need for accurate portrayals of religious dogma and traditions. In the absence of these commitments, there will be more space for the possible growth of radical Islamic tendencies.

Story as History-History as Story. the Gospel Tradition in the Context of Ancient Oral History
Turner, David L., Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
Story as History-History as Story. The Gospel Tradition in the Context of Ancient Oral History. By Samuel Byrskog. WUNT 123. TUbingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2000, xix + 386 pp. DM 98.
The present volume follows closely on the theme and methodology of Byrskog's Jesus the Only Teacher (Almqvist & Wiksell, 1994), which addresses the matter of oral tradition and transmission in ancient Judaism and the Matthean community. Briefly put, Byrskog's purpose is to gain a better understanding of the dynamics involved behind history, the past in the present, and story, the present in the past, as the Gospel tradition evolved and became narrativized (p. 6). His search for a comprehensive approach to this problem interacts with multiple perspectives, including redaction criticism based on Markan priority, oral history theory, Greco-Roman historiography, and narrative criticism. There are six chapters in the book, beginning with a survey of the decline and revival of oral history and its use by NT scholars. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the use of autopsy (meaning eyewitness information in this context) by ancient historians and by the early Christians. Byrskog concludes that such a visual linkage to past history played a prominent role, and that in the case of the NT, the eyewitnesses personally experienced the stories later narrated as history. For Byrskog this does not necessarily eliminate fiction from biblical narrative, but it does render the common bifurcation of history and story facile, anachronistic, and untenable.
Chapter 3 covers the linkage between past history and present story by exploring the relationship of orality to both autopsy and literacy. The upshot of all this for the formation of the Gospels is that their writing should not be viewed as a secondary stage subsequent to the primary oral tradition stage. Rather, the formation of the Gospels should be viewed as reoralization involving constant interaction of oral and written material. Chapter 4 examines how the present story develops from past history by interpreting autopsy. Here Byrskog explains how eyewitnesses are necessarily subjective in their perceptions since as humans they are informed by conscious and unconscious cultural and ideological factors. Of particular interest here is how the author puts to rest the common notion in biblical criticism that only a detached, uninvolved witness should be considered reliable (pp. 166-67). According to Byrskog, ancient historians preferred involved, participating eyewitnesses. Yet at the same time ancient historians sought factual truth through the interpreted truth of the eyewitnesses because they realized that such witnesses could be biased.
Chapter 5 carries the argument further by unfolding the interplay between interpretation and narration in the present communication of past history. …

By Diane Knoepke Jan 26, 2010
I read a white paper, written by Blackbaud and Event360, this morning that discusses third-party fundraising events and how to maximize them. While there are good nuggets of information about logistics and tracking, the brief does not touch on how to have third-party events live harmoniously with corporate sponsorship. In fact, the paper asserts that "traditional event organizers need to view independent fundraising as supplementary, not competitive, to their existing development portfolio."
I disagree with that statement, as it's built on some bad assumptions when you consider the corporate sponsorship and cause marketing segments of the "development portfolio." For those organizations seeking corporate marketing partners, third party events do need to be viewed as competitive.
Here are three assumptions to debunk within your own organizations to make sure third-party events don't devalue your corporate partnerships.
Bad Assumption #1: Most third-party events are done by individuals, or clubs, or schools, or endurance athletes, so they don't compete with corporate partners. This is an outdated mentality, as the definition of "marketer" has broadened beyond multi-national corporations and local businesses. Non-profit and governmental organizations are buying sponsorship on a regular basis. Hospitals, schools and membership organizations market themselves to attract customers and drive traffic. Just like corporate sponsors and cause marketers.
Bad Assumption #2: Just because the event organizer is asking for consumer promotional rights, doesn't mean it falls into the cause marketing or sponsorship realm. If a third party can use the organization's intellectual property (logo, imagery, etc.) in/on any public-facing communication (like a web site or poster), the third party needs to pay for the value of those benefits one way or another. And they need to live by the branding rules the organization requires of its corporate sponsors and cause marketing partners. All of this takes staff time to service, so the organization better make sure the value exchange is worth it.
You might say that if it's an individual organizing the third-party event, this assumption is irrelevant. If an individual is not fronting a company or organization in any way, then o.k., they're probably not a sponsor or cause marketer. And if the individual is not fronting a company or organization in any way, then they probably don't need consumer promotional rights. So that takes care of that.
Bad Assumption #3: Cause marketing is totally different than third-party events. What's the quickest way to do cause marketing without following the organization's cause marketing guidelines? Call it a third-party event. Parking lot parties and special shopping nights come to mind. Sure, many organizations have policies that straighten this out, but I've seen many more that lack enforceable procedures to make sure companies do not devalue actual cause marketing campaigns by working around the system.

This opens fine in Gimp, but when I try to color a layer it only shows up in the layer's thumbnail image, not the main canvas itself. Any ideas what I did wrong?
I gotta problemo... I use the iPad only for all my artwork, and I can't download anything to it >3> what would I do? .-.
I love all of your bases like this, they are amazing! Would love to see a domestic dog one!

this file cannot be opened in photoshop elements as i believe photoshop elements does not work with grouped layers
there is nothing you can I can do and it needs to be grouped for the markings or else they dont work and go out of the body
but if you ungroup them i can put them a in clipping mask so then the markings wont go out of the body
When I click the link to download the file, it just brings me back to this page...

The SAI download doesn't work...

Hey Ron ... I have a question. Would you mind if I did a lion/lioness lineart like this in my style, with all the different manes/tails/etc.? :3 I love this, it works just so well for making character refs. xD
I'm going to use.....also I use GIMP, and was wondering how you would want someone to go about giving you a GIMP version?(Unless you already have one?)
I can upload it to my DA and link it to yours and send you the link----or I could email the file to you....
Whichever works for you if you still need it

I've been feeling very creative and experimental with jewelry lately. As always, owls and keys continue to be a huge inspiration for me.

Athena's key...
Beautiful! I want one
This is beautiful. Is it metal, or some other material painted in metallic paint? Fabulous either way
As a huge sucker for both owls and keys, I was delighted when this popped up in my messages today. The overall design is quite lovely- there's an effortless flow from the owl down to the key. Sometimes pieces run the risk of looking choppy or glued-together but this is certainly not the case here. One of my favorite details is the shape of the top part of the key. I loved the way the owl has almost a heart-shape coming around him- Its a lovely touch that definitely makes the piece very eye catching. This is definitely one of the more unique keys I've seen. I can imagine this would look nicely on it's own or paired with a similar-style bracelet, it seems very versatile in that regard. Very lovely work, I am very jealous of the person who manages to snatch this up and wear it out.

Sang Nila Utama
Sang Nila Utama, (also known as Prince Nilatanam or Sri Tri Buana) was the legendary founder of Singapura and one-time ruler of the Srivijaya empire based in Palembang, Sumatra. According to the Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals), Sang Nila Utama was one of the three princes who were descendants of Raja Iskandar Dzu'l-Karnain (Alexander the Great of Macedonia).
There are variations and interpretations of the Sang Nila Utama story (John Miksic examines six versions in his book, Archaeological Research on the 'Forbidden Hill' of Singapore), but the common fact among all the versions is that he was one of three princes who descended from heaven. He was also accorded the title of Sri Tri Buana, meaning "Lord of the Three Worlds" in Sanskrit, and became the ruler of the Indianised Srivijaya empire based in Palembang, Sumatra.
The following is the popular story of Sang Nila Utama, which is based on Sejarah Melayu. Two widowed women, Wan Empok and Wan Malini, grew padi on Bukit Si-Guntang in Palembang. One day, three princes, Bichitram, Paladutani and Nilatanam, descended from heaven; at the spot where they alighted, padi grains turned to gold, leaves to silver, stems became gold alloy and the hilltop turned into gold. Demang Lebar Daun (equivalent to "Chief Minister"), then the Raja of Palembang (also known as Trimurti Tribuana), heard the story of the princes, went to visit them and took them back with him to the city. When word spread that these descendants of the Raja Iskandar Dzu'l-Karnain were in Palembang, rulers and people from every part of the country came to pay homage. The eldest prince was made the Raja of Menangkabau, with the title of Sang Sapurba; the second prince became Raja of Tanjong Pura with the title of Sang Maniaka; and the youngest of the three took the title of Sang Utama. Sang Utama remained at Palembang and was made the Raja and the ruler of the indianised Srivijaya empire.
One day, Sri Tri Buana went on an expedition with the aim of discovering a site for another city. He went to Bentan, ruled by wealthy Queen Sakidar Syah who adopted him as her son and successor. Soon, he became restless and went on a hunt at Tanjung Bemian, where he came to a very large, high rock. He climbed to the top, and looking across the water he saw that the land on the other side had sand so white, it looked like a sheet of cloth. He asked the Queen's chief minister, Indra Bopal, "What is that stretch of sand that we see yonder? What land is that?" And Bopal answered, "That, your Highness, is the land called Temasik". Sri Tri Buana immediately proceeded to this beautiful sandy shore called Temasik, but halfway across the sea, a storm struck and his ship began to sink. Everything was thrown overboard to lighten the boat, and they continued to drift helplessly towards Teluk Belanga. It was suggested that if Sri Tri Buana would throw his crown overboard, they might yet save themselves. He did so, and immediately the weather became calm once more. When they landed on the island, they went hunting on an open ground at Kuala Temasik (where the Esplanade stands today), and saw a strange animal. It disappeared before they could identify it. Demang Lebar Daun suggested that, from its appearance, it could be a lion. He decided to name the island settlement Singapura, meaning "Lion City" (singa means "lion" and pura "city", in Sanskrit). Sri Tri Buana then sent word back to Bentan that he would not return, but would establish a city at Temasik.
Sri Tri Buana ruled for 48 years before he died, and it is said that he was buried on the hill of Singapura.

The Strikeforce invasion continues. Late Monday night, a welterweight affair between Yuri Villefort (Pictured) and Nah-Shon Burrell was added to the UFC 157 lineup. Both 170-pounders are looking to bounce back from losses. After blasting out of the MMA gates with a perfect 6-0 record, Villefort dropped a split decision defeat to Quinn Mulhern. The May contest was the 21-year-old's first scrap since undergoing a knee operation that kept him on the pine for 23 months. Burrell had his six-fight winning streak snapped by Chris Spang in his last outing. "The Rock-N-Rolla" owns a 8-2 pro mark. A spot opened up on the February 23rd roster when the featherweight bout with Chad Mendes and Manny Gamburyan was pulled due to an injury to "The Anvil." The middleweight shootout between Josh Neer and Court McGee was promoted from the prelims to the pay-per-view card in its place. UFC 157 takes place inside Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Here is the show's revised lineup: Preliminary Card: Nah-Shon Burrell vs. Yuri Villefort Neil Magny vs. Jon Manley Brock Jardine vs. Kenny Robertson Matt Grice vs. Dennis Bermudez Sam Stout vs. Caros Fodor Michael Chiesa vs. Anton Kuivanen Brendan Schaub vs. Lavar Johnson Main Card: (Pay-Per-View 10PM ET/7PM PT) Josh Koscheck vs. Robbie Lawler Josh Neer vs. Court McGee Urijah Faber vs. Ivan Menjivar Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida Liz Carmouche vs. Ronda Rousey (UFC bantamweight champion)

Structural basis for membrane targeting of the BBSome by ARL6.
Nature structural & molecular biology
2014; 21 (12): 1035-1041
The BBSome is a coat-like ciliary trafficking complex composed of proteins mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). A critical step in BBSome-mediated sorting is recruitment of the BBSome to membranes by the GTP-bound Arf-like GTPase ARL6. We have determined crystal structures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii ARL6-GDP, ARL6-GTP and the ARL6-GTP-BBS1 complex. The structures demonstrate how ARL6-GTP binds the BBS1 β-propeller at blades 1 and 7 and explain why GTP- but not GDP-bound ARL6 can recruit the BBSome to membranes. Single point mutations in the ARL6-GTP-BBS1 interface abolish the interaction of ARL6 with the BBSome and prevent the import of BBSomes into cilia. Furthermore, we show that BBS1 with the M390R mutation, responsible for 30% of all reported BBS disease cases, fails to interact with ARL6-GTP, thus providing a molecular rationale for patient pathologies.

The intraflagellar transport protein IFT27 promotes BBSome exit from cilia through the GTPase ARL6/BBS3.
Developmental cell
2014; 31 (3): 265-278
The sorting of signaling receptors into and out of cilia relies on the BBSome, a complex of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) proteins, and on the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery. GTP loading onto the Arf-like GTPase ARL6/BBS3 drives assembly of a membrane-apposed BBSome coat that promotes cargo entry into cilia, yet how and where ARL6 is activated remains elusive. Here, we show that the Rab-like GTPase IFT27/RABL4, a known component of IFT complex B, promotes the exit of BBSome and associated cargoes from cilia. Unbiased proteomics and biochemical reconstitution assays show that, upon disengagement from the rest of IFT-B, IFT27 directly interacts with the nucleotide-free form of ARL6. Furthermore, IFT27 prevents aggregation of nucleotide-free ARL6 in solution. Thus, we propose that IFT27 separates from IFT-B inside cilia to promote ARL6 activation, BBSome coat assembly, and subsequent ciliary exit, mirroring the process by which BBSome mediates cargo entry into cilia.

Notable works

Tiger Girl
John Edmond Sparling[1] (June 21, 1916 – February 15, 1997),[1][2] better known as Jack Sparling, was an American comics artist.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sparling moved to the United States as a child.[3] He received his early arts training at the Arts and Crafts Club in New Orleans and later attended the Corcoran School of Art.[1] He worked briefly as a gag cartoonist for the New Orleans Item-Tribune.[1] In 1941, Sparling, along with writer William Laas, created the United Feature Syndicate comic strip Hap Hopper, Washington Correspondent, for which real-life newspaper columnists Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen were listed as editors.[4] One source lists it as having launched January 29, 1939, but comics historian Don Markstein, noting that that day was a Sunday, says January 29, 1940, is better supported and more likely.[4] Sparling was the artist until 1943, when he was succeeded by Al Plastino.[1]
Sparling's next comic strip was Claire Voyant, which premiered May 10, 1943, in the New York PM. and ran until 1948.[1]
From the 1950s through the 1970s, Sparling provided art for a variety of publishers, including Harvey Comics (the Pirana) and Charlton Comics (adaptations of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman). Sparling also worked for Classics Illustrated, drawing adaptations of Robin Hood and Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.[5] Sparling drew biographic comic books featuring Adlai Stevenson II,[6] Lyndon B. Johnson, and Barry Goldwater for Dell Comics.[7] At DC Comics, Sparling drew Secret Six,[5] the "Eclipso" feature in House of Secrets,[8] and the "Unknown Soldier" feature in Star Spangled War Stories.[9] Editor Joe Orlando began a new direction for DC's House of Mystery series with issue #175 (July–August 1968) and the series' host Cain was created by Sparling and Orlando with writer Bob Haney.[10][11] Sparling worked with writer Dennis O'Neil on The Witching Hour[12] and the Challengers of the Unknown.[13] For Western Publishing's Gold Key Comics, he co-created the superhero Tiger Girl with Jerry Siegel in 1968,[14] drew the toyline tie-in Microbots one-shot,[15] and illustrated comic book adaptations of the television series Family Affair, The Outer Limits and Adam-12.[5][16] In 1976, he drew a licensed Welcome Back, Kotter comic book series for DC.[17]

WHAT A JOY to discover among the rich contents of the November-December 1995 issue an item that proclaims a great truth: Jim Forest's tribute to Daniel Berrigan (in "'We Could Not, So Help Us God, Do Otherwise'"). Responding to Mel Hollander's statement that he was dying, Forest writes, Berrigan "without batting an eye, replied, 'That must be very exciting.'"
This extraordinary profession of faith is a solace to all of us who sooner or later will be with Mel. Forest affirms its immediate impact on Mel Hollander, and it now blesses your readers as well.

Penguins' Matt Cooke suspended
Updated: March 24, 2011, 7:17 PM ETESPN.com news services
DETROIT -- Matt Cooke says he's taking his punishment and taking a look in the mirror.
The Pittsburgh Penguins left wing, whom the NHL suspended for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for elbowing defenseman Ryan McDonagh of the New York Rangers in the head Sunday, told reporters he's accepting the punishment and recognizes he must change the way he plays the game.
"I realize and understand, more so now than ever, that I need to change," ...

Often when I stack my fondant cakes, I usually have a small gap between the first cake board and the second tier.To hide the seam I would create a border. How do I get no gap when stacking my cakes. I prefer not to do borders in some of my designs.
You can trim your fondant a bit lower than the board by putting the cake up on something smaller than the board and trimming slightly lower.
Or you can stack while the fondant is still very soft and just smooth it down until it meets the tier below.
In addition to the above,
I have also seen where some (I think it was on ace of cakes) run a bead of royal around the base of the top cake, where it meets the bottom cake, and use a finger to smooth it out so it looks like it's all one cake-just like caulking. I would do this all the time if I had royal icing on hand each week. But I rarely use it.
sometimes I use the "white" wilton chocolate melts ...I melt them put them in a piping bag and pipe around the "seam" then I smooth out with my finger. For off white fondant this works beautifully. I've also done it with other colored melted chocolate to match the fondant.
Thanks for all the responses.

Last week, the U.S. Postal Service filed a plan with its regulator to close half of its mail processing facilities and reduce delivery standards in order to reduce costs. I called the move a message to Congress because "the USPS is running on financial fumes and Congress is still trying to figure out how to kick the can down the road."
Downsizing Blog
Reality, Meet Education Policy. Education Policy, Please, Meet Reality!
Nobody wants to be the guy — especially the Congress-guy — who says that we need to cut education spending. Nobody wants to be the target of attacks from both the well-intentioned and politically opportunistic that they hate children, only care about "the rich," or any of the other deviousness that long ago snuck up behind reasoned debate, threw a rope around its neck, and pulled it backwards.
Obama and Daniels Team Up to 'Shovel' Subsidies
The Indianapolis Star recently profiled local boy makes good (handing out other people's money) John Fernandez, the ex-Bloomington mayor and Obama fundraiser who now heads up the Economic Development Administration. A reference to an EDA taxpayer handout to a technology park in southern Indiana caught my eye:
It Was those Bad Speculators That Drove the Housing Bubble...
A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York examines the role of speculators in driving the housing bubble. Setting aside the fact that almost everyone who bought a house was "speculating" to some degree, the researchers focus on those who were buying homes they did not intend to live in.
No Free Lunch in Subsidy Programs
Extending the extra unemployment insurance benefits would be bad for the federal budget and bad for the economy, and there is a better long-term solution for unemployment than the current UI system.
USPS Sends a Message to Congress
On Monday, the U.S. Postal Service filed its proposal to reduce service standards with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The USPS is seeking to cut costs by closing about half of its mail processing facilities, which would mean slower mail delivery. Given that the USPS is running on financial fumes and Congress is still trying to figure out how to kick the can down the road, management apparently decided that it had to act.
Income Inequality Data Has Flaws
In the Wall Street Journal yesterday, Alan Reynolds pointed out some of the flaws in the data being used in the income inequality debate. Far too many policymakers, analysts, and reporters assume that the data showing rising inequality is carved in stone, but it isn't. Some portion of the supposed change in income inequality in recent decades is a statistical artifact due to changes in marginal tax rates and other factors.
Four More Things Washington Shouldn't Do
AEI's Rick Hess and Stanford's Linda Darling-Hammond—two folks who don't always see eye to eye—have a New York Times op-ed that decries federal micromanagement in education, then lays out four things they think Washington should do.
Looking for Serious Program Terminations
The House passed a bill last week eliminating the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, which the Tax Foundation calls a "voluntary tax that stirs little enthusiasm." It would also save a whopping $14 million by eliminating the Election Action Committee and transferring certain functions to other federal agencies.
Congress's Budget in Perspective
A new poll conducted for The Hill found that 67 percent of likely voters think members of Congress should take a pay cut. With the economy still struggling and the government's debt continuing to mount, congressional pay is – understandably – a sore subject with voters. However, I get the impression that a lot of people think that cutting Congress's budget would have a sizable impact on the government's financial situation.

For instance, in
multiprocessing.managers there is a function called
MakeProxyType. This function isn't in the multiprocessing documentation at all, but its name doesn't begin with an underscore either. Disregarding the subject of whether or not it's actually useful to use
MakeProxyType, would it be ok to use this function in my code?
For instance, in
It's going to be safe if, and only if, you can check that the implementation does not depend on other, "private" parts of the package (so that you'll just be able to copy and paste it into your own module if and when it should get removed from the standard library), or else you see how to reimplement the same interface in such a fashion (again, as a "plan B" safety strategy against such possible future removals).
You should clarify with the authors whether the omission of MakeProxyType from the documentation is deliberate or accidental. If it's deliberate, then it can disappear from the API without notice and would be dangerous to use.
If you really need to use the function in your code then you could do this:
that way if the function disappears from new versions it will fall back to using the local version, while still benefitting from any bug fixes etc that may go into a newer version.
Of course this could still break if the function changes in an incompatible way, or makes use of other private features of the module.
Usually names which don't start with an underscore are considered part of the public API and we try to maintain compatibility accross versions. You might want to wait for Jesse Noller's answer, though, he's the multiprocessing maintainer and I hear he has an account here ;)
