This is just the kind of thing my husband, the big cereal eater at our hose, loves. In fact, he plans to take it to work so he can grab a bowl right from his desk.
We Like the Cereal Dispenser, but that flapper valve is a problem. The cereal gets caught, and the valve is hard to turn. For Example: A Sanitary Grade Clamp Butterfly Valve that Comes In Different Sizes,that would clamp around the Bottleneck at the bottom of the cereal dispenser. This way you eliminate the difficulty when turning the valve. Of-course cost is important, but I'm just giving a suggestion with a picture below of what I'm talking about. On a Good Note, My Wife and I are happy to have a cereal dispenser that works, it's nice looking, and the price was good, and affordable. Below is Picture Of A Sanitary Grade Clamp Butterfly Valve http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/262092459/Sanitary_Grade_Clamp_Butterfly_Valve.jpg Have A Good Day Jerry
I used the dispenser for a snack table at a party. The appearance was fine. The product arrived quickly and in good shape. The stand is not very stable. I did not notice a weight limit on the instruction. I filled it with trail mix and after about 10 uses the entire dispenser fell over while being used. It spilled trail mix all over the table and embarrassed the guest attempting to use it. I think if you are using this on a limited basis (once daily) and for something light like dry cereal it would be fine.
I love it. I generally skipped breakfast due to lack of time but now that I have the dispenser and is cereal-filled, it cuts a step down to prepare for a bowl of cereal in the busy morning. It also helps me drink milk every day.
At first, I was bit worried about cereal getting soggy by picking up moisture from the air but it's sealed pretty tight and keeps the cereal dry and crispy.
I have a small kitchen and an 18 mo. old who loves Cheerios! This dispenser is perfect. I can keep it on the counter and it doesn't take up much space and it saves me from finding a place in my pantry for a giant cereal box!

Introduction of 70 MeV cyclotron to commercial market will stabilize supply of isotopes for diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, cancer and neurological conditions
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Zevacor Molecular Board of Directors announced approval of funding to purchase the only 70 MeV commercial cyclotron dedicated to medical use in the United States. Zevacor Molecular is engaged with various vendors and will award the contract within 30 days. The 70 MeV cyclotron, expected to be operational in the fall of 2016, will expand Zevacor Molecular's pharmaceutical line.
Zevacor Molecular, an independently owned healthcare firm that manufactures and distributes PET and SPECT radiopharmaceuticals, has committed to this multi-million dollar project to introduce a commercial medical 70 MeV Cyclotron in order to stabilize the domestic supply of medical isotopes needed to diagnose and treat critical illnesses.
"Medical isotopes are critical to early and accurate diagnosis of cancer, heart disease and a number of other life threatening diseases," said Zevacor Molecular Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Zehner. "In the past, the supply of medical isotopes has not been continuous, making it difficult to offer these diagnostics and therapeutics. This investment will allow us to provide year round production of medically necessary isotopes for patients."
Zevacor Molecular was established in 2012. Zevacor's efforts come at a time when there is little certainty of supply in the market for medical isotopes. The 70 MeV will have the ability to supply patients with medically necessary isotopes used for diagnostic imaging and therapies within oncology, neurology and cardiology. Although the project is focused on Strontium (Sr-82), which is the raw material for Rubidium (Rb-82) generators, it also opens up several research isotopes currently not widely available in the United States such as Copper-67 which is a therapeutic for treating cancer.

UM Flint secures $2.1 million for nursing programs
By Mark Brush
UM Flint received around $2.1 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for nursing programs geared toward minority groups.
The university highlighted three programs that will receive funding.
- $1.2 million will go to a program call UM-FIND (UM-Flint Initiatives for Nursing Diversity) to continue its work aimed at "increase nursing education opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds." The grant provides funding to the program for the next three years.
- $700,000 will go to UM-FISCUP (UM-Flint Initiative to Strengthen Care to Underserved Populations). The program educates graduate nursing students about poverty and health care disparities among medically underserved populations. "It will allow an increase in student clinical placements with underserved populations and in the number of minority nurse practitioners, and that will lead to improvements in the by and large health of Flint and Genesee County residents."
- $221,000 will be used for scholarships for disadvantaged student scholarships and $32,000 will be used for graduate student stipends for Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Anesthesia students.

NBA PM: Al Horford/Kwame Brown Out for Year?
The Atlanta Hawks have confirmed that All-Star center/forward Al Horford suffered a torn pectoral muscle on Wednesday in a loss to the Indiana Pacers.
While the team has yet to announce a course of treatment, surgery is likely on the horizon. Horford will get a second opinion before making a decision. Regardless, the Hawks have said they expect to lose their center for three to four months.
"We are very disappointed for Al and our team and we wish him the best as he moves forward in the rehabilitation process," said Hawks' Executive Vice President and General Manager Rick Sund. "He has contributed greatly to our success since his arrival in Atlanta, and that's evident by his selection to the NBA's All-League team last season (third team pick)."
Horford started all 11 games for the Hawks, averaging 12.4 points, 7.0 boards and 1.3 blocks per night. Perhaps Zaza Pachulia is elevated to the starting lineup and Jason Collins gets some time as a reserve.
The Hawks are currently over the luxury tax threshold by just over half a million dollars. The odds were already high that the team would cut one of their non-guaranteed players (Jerry Stackhouse, Jannero Pargo, Donald Sloan and/or Ivan Johnson).
Johnson and Pargo have had begun to carve out a roles on the team and should be considered safe while Stackhouse and Sloan have made sparse appearances. Sloan, a 6'3″ guard, doesn't quite make enough for the Hawks to get under the tax if waived which suggests the veteran Stackhouse.
Regardless, if the team intends to sign another player to bolster their front court, someone on the 15-man roster would need to go (either by trade or release).
To that end, sources tell HOOPSWORLD that Kirk Hinrich and his $8 million expiring contract is available in trade. Hinrich is recovering from shoulder surgery but is expected back by the end of the month or at worst, mid-February.
The Hawks are currently 7-4, just 2 1/2 games behind the top-seeded Chicago Bulls. Additionally, if Atlanta had designs at being a suitor for Dwight Howard, Horford's immediate value in trade is likely diminished.
While the Orlando Magic might presume Horford eventually returns at full strength, rule of thumb is that teams don't like to trade for injured players.
Kwame Out Too – Same Story, Different Player
Meanwhile, in similar news, the Golden State Warriors announced that Kwame Brown suffered a torn pectoralis major, "the large chest muscle that attaches to his right shoulder," that will require surgery and a three month recovery (at a minimum).
"Obviously, we're very disappointed, especially for Kwame, who was playing extremely well and had worked diligently since his arrival," said Larry Riley, the team's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations/General Manager. "In a short time, he had proven to be the anchor to our low post defense and certainly lived up to his reputation as one of the top interior defenders in the NBA. He had provided us a big, physical presence in the middle, which is something that we've lacked in the past. Unfortunately, surgery of this nature typically requires, approximately, a three-month recovery period."
Brown started three games for the Warriors, who will likely return Andris Biedrins to the starting lineup (who himself had been sidelined/hampered by nagging injuries).
After making a sizable offer sheet to DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors settled on a one-year deal with Kwame for $6.75 million.
Brown, a former number one pick, had a solid year in Charlotte last season (7.9 points on 51.7% shooting) and 6.8 boards a game for the Bobcats.
Through nine games with the Warriors, Brown has averaged both 6.3 points and rebounds while the team won just three of nine. Golden State has also been trying to deal with Stephen Curry's recurring ankle issues.
"I feel extremely bad for Kwame," said Head Coach Mark Jackson. "He had done absolutely everything that myself and our coaching staff had asked of him and quickly started to change this team's image on the defensive end of the floor. If you look at the last week, in particular, he had some pretty impressive defensive performances, especially against some of the top scoring big men in the NBA. This is a blow, but Kwame and the Warriors will recover and move forward. I know that he will work as hard as he can during rehabilitation."
Brown was injured in the Warriors' biggest win of the year on Tuesday, in overtime 111-106 over the Miami HEAT.
So just like that, two centers gone for the year although technically neither should be ruled out for a playoff return (but then neither should necessarily be expected come May).
First All-Star Balloting Results In
The NBA released the first set of All-Star balloting results on Thursday.
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard was the leading vote getter with 754,737. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was second overall but highest in the Western Conference (690,613 votes).
Based on the early returns, the starting lineup for the East would be Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard.
There's a sizable gap at each position past the top five (next closest Amar'e Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo and Joakim Noah).
The Western Conference looks like it may be a Los Angeles-dominated squad with Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and Andrew Bynum.
Durant, of the Oklahoma City Thunder, actually leads Griffin in the votes by 239,274 votes. Current NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki is third at forward, 162,432 behind Griffin. Distant hopes at guard and center would be first-time All-Stars Ricky Rubio and DeAndre Jordan.
The 2012 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 26th in Orlando.
While there's some speculation the Magic may look to trade Howard before the end of the season, but not until after they host All-Star Weekend, it's conceivable that the Lakers and Orlando swap All-Star starting-centers before the trade deadline.
Voting is open online at NBA.com until January 31st, naturally a smaller window given the lockout-shortened season.

So it's been a month or so since I've been on LeanGains. I started at around 221 lbs. This morning I weighed in at about 204 lbs.
My energy has been good. People keep commenting on how good I look. So no complaints there.
Problem has been my strength has been going down. This morning I was supposed to squat 360 x 3 or more reps... barely got 1 rep and had to rack it. Waited a few minutes to try again. Same result.
Shouldn't be having any problems with 360 lbs! Should have at least gotten this for 5-6 reps.
Last week my bench sucked too. Was going for 280 x 5. Got 3. My spotter sucked (public gym), and claims I got 5 on my own, but there was no way.
2 weeks ago could barely even deadlift 405 for a rep.
Anyways, you get the point. Numbers are going down, and I'm not happy about it and looking for some advice. I like the way I'm looking though so don't want to stop with the IF.
Few details on my eating and training:
-Eating from 2pm - 10pm
-Training fasted at around 12pm - 1:30pm. Just have some BCAA's before. Sometimes after as well depending on the length of my workout.
-Training days my calories are at 3390. Rest days 2160. I also do fasted cardio on rest days for 45-60 mins.
-Training days my protein is at around 250 - 300 g. Carbs are at around 250 - 300 g. Fat is at around 100 - 120 g. Rest days the same except for carbs that are kept at basically whatever I happen to get in from my main foods, so usually ends up at around 50 -70 grams.
-Training program is 5/3/1. Strength train 4 days a week, so main 5/3/1 lift plus about 4 other assistance exercises. Assistance exercises usually 3-4 sets at 8-10 reps.
Other than that, don't know what other info to give.
I keep hearing about people on LeanGains losing tons of BF, but keeping and even increasing their strength. I want in on that too!

UVM prof wins
smart grid grant
BURLINGTON A University of Vermont professor has won a $400,000 National Science Foundation Career Award for his research proposal on smart electrical grids.
Dr. Paul Hines, a professor in the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematics Sciences, has proposed research on harnessing smart grid data to enable resilient and efficient electricity.
He said the research would study ways to use smart grid data to find patterns of vulnerability in power systems, and would use the results to reduce the risk of cascading power blackouts.
Hines said the award provides the unique opportunity to conduct research that may lead to technology making power grids more resilient, including the ability to better incorporate variable power sources, such as wind power.MORE IN Vermont NewsDisability advocates are preparing plans for a $2.23 million cut in funding.

All right now in Massachusetts teenager found guilty of causing a deadly car crash because he was texting.
While driving is the first of its kind in the states and one of the first and as we've seen really in the country ranks as front of the reasons -- we're taking a closer look at that.
Absolutely and this verdict handed down just today in the case of Aaron -- Guilty as you said of negligent operation of a motor vehicle this involved a terrible head on collision in February of last year between demo and two people.
Who were driving in another car one of -- was killed the other seriously injured.
Devote testified in his own defense and he was asked what he remembers about the crash.
He said that he swerved into the other lane because he suddenly realized that he was getting too close to the car in front of him listen.
Remember that -- mr.
-- yeah -- I don't live pictures right there.
-- When you.
Came up on -- car that was in front of you.
What are you looking down here and -- are you looking out the window.
-- looking at your cell phone.
I was you just were distracted just -- Prosecutors had shown the jury records that to -- had written or received almost 200 text the day of the accident -- before.
And after -- but of those says that none of them took place while he was actually behind the wheel.
At the time of the crash the jury obviously did not believe him he has just been sentenced he faced a possible.
Four years in prison we understand just coming in from the courtroom that Aaron -- gets one year in prison for this conviction -- huge.
And -- so trying to confirm that as well us have a few different headlines can connect -- Rick thank you very much about the possible possible several years.
Witnessed an average of south criminal defense attorney -- Jackson a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Rachel you also heard.
I year sentence were working on confirming that with the court.
It's the -- as you -- that.
That the prosecution was successful here why is that.
Well because ultimately speaking at the -- charge you need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the texting was happening.
While the accident actually occurred but under the statute.
Negligent operation you need to show that your behavior here.
Was negligent enough that it might have resulted in the death of someone and then ultimately somebody died and I think that they might have hinged on that the jury yesterday.
Asked for -- re instruction on negligent operation and they only deliberated for.
A little while on -- so I think I think the prosecutor did a great job.
I -- we're just getting word in that -- Aaron.
Devoe was sentenced to two and a half years in jail but he will -- One full year behind bars at what's your reaction just to this story -- rod -- -- and -- what it means just legally the legal ramifications around the country.
You held legally speaking to and I think it means that they'll be less people who are texting why because one of the things that the law does -- it has a deterrent effect not only on the individual to prevent that specific individual in this case -- -- devolved from doing this again.
But to prevent others from doing it again and remember.
We don't have to do in in this particular stayed on that this state law you don't have to show any intent right normally we look in someone's dad and you have to show they intended to do it.
Here all you have to show was -- someone acted negligently right they were careless and they were not being careful attentive or you have to show that they were at.
Acting recklessly that is they consciously disregarded her -- knew what they were doing could be wrong and could result in a calamity but they did it anyways I think that take away from this -- is that it will prevent others who are thinking about tax thing.
From doing so -- well -- hope joy but I'm curious going back to the points are making about what they had to prove.
For that CB actually.
Motor vehicle homicide they can someone beat you you know fiddling with the radio doing their make -- Try to drink a cup of coffee -- is taxiing different.
Then some of these other activities want to do in a car or maybe how is it the same.
You you know it's such a wonderful point that you're making because there are number above activities that are very similar right -- out of because whether it is you're fiddling with the radio -- make up -- doing your -- it raises the same issue and that -- being distracted the problem here however is there's a specific state law that identifies texting is something that is particularly dangerous and particularly a matter with the legislator legislature.
Had to take hold up to do something about so I think it could lead to those parade of horrible that is -- legislation along the lines of a distraction in general.
As being criminalized and that's something we'll have to look for the future not only by Massachusetts -- but by other states as well.
-- -- -- -- -- -- Absolutely I agree with -- completely and I think that your point was a very valid one but the bottom line is we have a lot here that says you're not allowed to text and drive.
The same you have a law that says you're not allowed to drink and drive -- do drugs and drive everyone recognizes that this is an incredibly dangerous thing.
And when you're sitting in traffic eat every one looks around you look around at every other car somebody's texting and driving -- so I'm really hoping.
I'm really really hoping that that they do come down on legislation and while it might be is Joyce had a parade a horrible I think that.
The legislative intent behind the statute should be ignored and this is a dangerous thing and people shouldn't be doing and a father of three was killed.
They're right and what was just a mention that in Massachusetts it's illegal for a teenager to actually hold the phone have a phone in the car -- under the age of eighteen that's the lies about this this phone was in the front seat with him so.
We'll continue to watch to see the ramifications thank you both for your time today to see Janet saying yeah yeah.
Good to CEO by.

Here's a piece – iRobot – that I wrote for Bang! science magazine in the Irish Times. It's on one of my favourite subjects: robots.
Tell me a joke Siri. 'Two iPhones walk into a bar . . . I forget the rest."
It turns out that Siri, the new virtual digital assistant on the iPhone 4S, has a (bad) sense of humour. Does the ability to tell jokes make Siri intelligent in any sense of the word? Or is it just a clever piece of software with a vast bank of canned responses?
Can machines think?
Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, addressed this question as far back as 1950 when he asked, "Can machines think?" To devise the first measure of machine intelligence, Turing tweaked a Victorian parlour game, where the player had to guess, based on the responses, whether they were talking to a man or woman who remained concealed behind a curtain.
If you converse with someone behind a computer screen and you can't tell if this is a person or a machine, then the machine has truly demonstrated "artificial intelligence", he concluded. This became known as the Turing Test and is still used to gauge how naturally an artificial agent can converse.
Each year the Loebner Prize competition gathers a panel of expert judges to see if they can be tricked by AI (artificial intelligence) software known as chatbots, which are programmed to mimic human conversation. To date, despite using quite sophisticated programming, these chatbots tend to give away their silicon-based nature. Their responses range from slightly off to utter gibberish, and most humans can spot that their sentence structure isn't quite right.
Try that for size!
Here's an example of one of the many bizarre exchanges that a judge had with a chatbot known as Do-Much-More at the 2009 Loebner Prize contest. Judge: "What do you make of the Arctic Monkeys?" Do-Much-More: "Well, here's a clue: I make what a keeper in a zoo would make. Try that for size!"
Despite his seemingly playful nature Do-Much-More hasn't spotted that in this context the judge was talking about a band, and the brave chatbot doesn't even consider admitting to the judge that it doesn't understand. It simply ploughs ahead.
This is because a test like this is about guesswork and trickery rather than gauging true intelligence, according to Jason Hutchens, an academic who entered the Loebner Prize twice. There are, however, many other measures of machine intelligence and the iPhone's Siri doesn't just try to hold conversations. The AI behind Siri is quite complex and its roots lie in US military research.
Adam Cheyer created Siri after working as the chief architect at Calo (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organises), one of the largest artificial intelligence projects in US history. Siri listens to voice commands and tries to make sense of them. The first step is voice recognition software but once Siri "hears" what you're saying it must then make sense of it. This is where the AI comes in.
Siri like to learn
The information passed along to Siri is put in the context of a process or request that it must evaluate and carry out, which is not very different from how most computer programmes work. On the surface intelligent agents like Siri are making decisions, or at least that is how the complexity of the programming makes it appear.
Perhaps the most important piece of AI that Siri has is adaptability.
Explaining how it works on Quora.com Cheyer said: "Siri learns over time (new words, new partner services, new domains, new user preferences, etc)."
Robots that walk the walk
Artificial intelligence, however, isn't all about the software. Some intelligent agents talk the talk while others walk the walk. The most interesting and cutting edge robots of this kind aren't just programmed to walk; they're programmed to learn to walk.
Josh Bongard from the University of Vermont in the US has designed robots that start out a bit like human babies; they begin by crawling, slithering or dragging their bodies along the floor. Over time, they learn to balance better, graduate to walking confidently on two legs and can travel much faster.
Interestingly, these robots experience a form of "super evolution": in the beginning they are using anguilliform locomotion (they wiggle like fish or eels) but then progress to many legs and finally two.
One of the more famous real-life robots is decidedly more appealing due to its humanoid form. Asimo is a robot developed by Japanese company Honda Robotics and was first created in 2000. Its name is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, which is appropriate as it can both walk and run.
The most recent version of Asimo was unveiled earlier this month and is probably one of the most advanced robots in the world. Standing at a mere 4ft tall, this Hobbit-like robot has advanced AI that allows it to navigate around people by predicting where they will move next. This is something that you and I do without thinking every day when we walk down a crowded street but is an amazingly complex task for a robot.
Due to both a tactile sensor and a force sensor embedded on the palm and in each finger Asimo can now open bottles and pour drinks. Intriguingly, it now has the ability to run backwards and hop on one or two legs. When this diminutive robot eventually becomes available to buy it will be like having Rosie the maid from the Jetsons but with legs instead of a set of wheels.
Honda Robotics has suggested that we are now one step closer to having an office robot as Asimo can perform simple tasks while being able to navigate around a stream of people walking about.
Emotional and mechanical
But what about that which makes us human? Something that no robot, it seems, may ever be able to replicate is human emotion. Emotion is hard wired into the human experience and is evolutionarily advantageous in terms of species survival.
For humans to really bond with machines they must connect on an emotional level says Dr Cynthia Breazeal, a roboticist with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 1999 Breazeal created Kismet, the first emotionally intelligent robot. Kismet doesn't have a body but its head is kitted out with sensors, cameras and motors. It not only interprets what you are saying but also reacts in quite a human fashion. The robotic head swivels towards the human participant and depending on the movement of its lips, eyebrows, ears and even how it hunches or hangs its head will convey surprise, happiness, anger or disgust.
Kismet's AI is busy interpreting the tone of your voice, your eye movement and body language to figure out the emotional context of your conversation. It then attempts to respond in kind.
These fields of robotics will have therapeutic benefits, according to Breazeal: children with autism can experience pressure-free social interaction with Kismet-like creatures.
Uncanny likeness
If robots are too human-like, however, we can enter what is known as the Uncanny Valley, a phrase coined by Japanese roboticist Dr Masahiro Mori. This is a situation where robots look almost but not quite human.
Psychologically speaking, this kind of robot tends to scare or disgust us more than something that looks like Optimus Prime or WALL-E.
"There are good reasons why robots shouldn't look too human," says futurologist Prof Michael Hulme. "Recent research on avatar images showed that we prefer to look at faces that look clearly like an avatar rather than a pale imitation of a human being."
An example of a creepy-looking humanoid robot is the Actroid, developed by Osaka University. Robots like this may mimic blinking, nodding and even breathing but it is likely that we will always know that there is something not quite human about them.
The future of robots…
Robots and other artificially intelligent machines will come in various different forms in 10 years' time says Prof Michael Hulme: "I'm very interested in the notion of specific robots for specific purposes; the idea of a robot as a companion, or one that helps with housework. Take guide dogs for example, they're very important to the individual and perform a single task extremely well; this is how I see robots fitting into society in the future."
There will also be emotional robots in the future, he says, but they will be context-based. Science fiction scenarios of robots programmed with emotions often end in disaster, the most famous being HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Perhaps HAL should not have been given emotions or the ability to acquire feelings; Hulme says that emotional behaviour will inevitably be assigned to robots that need them as part of their function.
One of the most important issues in 10 years' time will be the world's aging population and this is where caring, emotionally aware robots come in. We're all living longer and part of elderly healthcare will inevitably involve robot aides.
"Given the demographics this is one of the areas where robotics will become very significant," Hulme says.
There are already prototype units that can carry people up stairways, issue reminders to take medication and take blood pressure. There are also robots like Paro, a robotic baby seal who promotes social interaction among the elderly and is being tested by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan.
Hulme also thinks that AI will come into its own in the era of TMI (too much information). New research predicts that the total amount of information created in 2011 will reach 1.8 zettabytes (or 1.8 trillion).
If this data was stored on a 32GB Apple iPad it would fill 57.5 billion units; enough to build the Great Wall of China comprised of these iPads, but at twice the height of the original. In 10 years' time we may not be able to cope with this data but we could have intelligent agents doing so on our behalf.
This AI would be "representative of the individual" and "almost performing as if it was part of the human being", says Hulme, asking me to imagine a virtual facsimile of myself that will find the information you want on your behalf.
This kind of complex AI is more likely 50 than 10 years down the line but has its roots in the kind of "recommendation" systems like the one Amazon uses.
Will we have truly intelligent machines in 10 years time? Probably not, although the computer scientist who coined the phrase "artificial intelligence" estimated that it could be anywhere between "five to 500 five years" before real AI would emerge. So while we will have our robot butler just don't expect it to be any good at telling jokes.


text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Audit Reveals Millions in Farm Payments Going to Deceased People Government Accountability Office finds USDA agencies making millions in payments to deceased individuals Published on: Jul 30, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print According to a report released this summer from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, some USDA agencies have paid out millions in crop insurance, conservation and other farm program premiums to deceased individuals. The findings are outlined in the report, "USDA Needs to Do More to Prevent Improper Payments to Deceased Individuals," which details hiccups in the check systems of three agencies that make most payments to farmers and landowners: USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency and the Farm Service Agency. Of the three agencies, the report found that only FSA implements a check system to determine if any recipients are deceased before issuing payment. The process includes a comparison against the Social Security Administration's Death Master File and a subsequent follow-up to determine if the person receiving the payment is in fact dead, GAO said.Government Accountability Office finds USDA agencies making millions in payments to deceased individuals Report author Daniel Garcia-Diaz said in the case of the other two agencies, if nobody notifies USDA or the agency doesn't check against the SSA file, payments will continue to be made. In response to that finding, GAO completed its own check of NRCS' payment lists from fiscal year 2008 to April, 2012, determining that the agency made $10.6 million in payments to more than 1,000 individuals a year or more after they had died. In the case of RMA, the audit revealed that from 2008 to 2012, $22 million may have been provided on behalf of nearly 3,500 policyholders two or more years after their death. GAO notes that some of these payments may have been proper, but NRCS and RMA cannot be certain because the agencies don't identify which payments were made to decased individuals. In contrast, the only agency that does weed out deceased individuals – FSA – has flagged over 28,000 deceased policyholders in 2011 and 2012, equating to $3.3 million in payments.

MySQL(i) Benchmarks
Joshua Dickerson:
Reading the docs for mysqli on php.net (www.php.net/mysqli) there is a note with a link to http://www.johnjawed.com/benchmarks/ which has some bad benchmarks in my opinion. Anyone done or seen any good comparisons?
I saw that. I haven't had time to really test mysql vs. mysqli. I'd bet mysql_ is slower than mysqli, especially when you use prepared statements, but we shall see.
Joshua Dickerson:
--- Quote ---remember that MySQLi statements are "pre-escaped", meaning that there is no need for you to do mysql_real_escape_string on any of the variables
--- End quote ---
is BS. It is sent via a binary protocol. There is no escaping done, but there is no need for mysql_real_escape_string().
His INSERT benchmark is ridiculous. Why would you use multiple queries for that when you can just use multiple values. Now, for something where I was using different tables, that might be beneficial.
Where are the SELECT queries? SELECT is more important to most than INSERT.
General test:
--- Code: ---# description: mysql_query() vs. mysqli_query()
# times: 5000
# name1: mysql_query()
# name2: mysqli_query()
$GLOBALS['mysql'] = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
$GLOBALS['mysqli'] = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
# ---
mysql_query('SET @a = 1', $GLOBALS['mysql']);
# ---
mysqli_query($GLOBALS['mysqli'], 'SET @a = 1');
--- End code ---
About the same speed. The mysql_ one seems to usually win (maybe just because it's first) by about 1%. There's at least that much chance of error.
I'm not sure exactly how to test prepared statements without an actual table. I tried it with SELECTs and 10 dummy integers, and it was definitely slower.
What does the C function mysql_send_query() aka mysqli_send_query() do? I can't find docs for it anywhere...?

Some lawmakers are pulling back from earlier calls for an investigation into a potential leak by the state's new ethics commission, JCOPE. This, one day after Governor Cuomo admitted that the new agency might need some tweaks. Capital Tonight reporter Nick Reisman has the details
NEW YORK STATE -- An investigation into whether someone from the state's new ethics watchdog leaked a letter that Senator Tom Libous was the possible target of an inquiry isn't needed, Governor Andrew Cuomo said. But the governor said this week he was concerned the Joint Commission on Public Ethics could be used for political purposes.
Cuomo said, "I don't know that there had to be a leak. I know that the law may prescribe a system that is flawed and is problematic."
Libous, the deputy majority leader, was named in an unrelated corruption trial earlier this year as having used his office to arrange for a job at Westchester County law firm for his son. The allegation was made by a disbarred attorney who is a convicted perjurer. Still, Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan wrote a formal letter of complaint to JCOPE.
"Mayor Ryan could have told someone. Mayor Ryan could have worked on the letter with someone and that person could have went out and had a press conference or told a reporter. I believe that's wrong. If that's what the law says, the law should be changed in my opinion," Cuomo said. Libous did receive a letter earlier this month that officials said was part of the normal process after an allegation is made. But the news unsettled some in Albany, who noted that any complaint can be made in order to generate headlines.
"By the current law, I don't think you would need any leak. The way I read the law it could just, you go out, you send a letter, tell the press and it's just on automatic pilot," Cuomo said.
Ryan, a Democrat who is not running for another term, at one point considered challenging Libous, a Republican, later this fall. He ultimately decided not to. Republican Majority Leader Dean Skelos, meanwhile, backed off on his earlier call for an investigation, but still believes tweaks to the ethics commission is needed following the incident.
Skelos said, "What we have to do is look at this is a new process that exists within the state, I think, on overdue, but we have to look at ways that we can make it even better and that's what we'll do."

Christmas has come to Glee, and it's surprisingly raunchy. As soon as Fox advised viewer discretion, citing sexual situations, violence, and suggestive dialogue, I knew this would be an interesting episode. The title, "Previously Unaired Christmas," had me a little confused, and to be honest, Jane Lynch's introduction just made me even more befuddled. For the record, this episode was filmed this year, but as you might recall, this season's timeline is a little wonky. Instead of skipping a holiday episode altogether, they just decided to go back in time. Sure enough, Glee pulls off an episode that's supposed to have happened in the past without screwing with the present plots. You know what that means? Filler.
This isn't to say it's a bad episode. There are some fabulous moments (Santana Claus obviously being the greatest), but it's so scattered. In any case, let's get to spreading the holiday cheer! I'm going over the highlights after the jump.

F1 discussion
… When you're counting down the days until Bahrain before the race in Abu Dhabi has even started.
… When you can explain the Lotus naming dispute and make sense of it.
… When you request to look after the block of flats in your residential college that contain flat 27 because of the historic connotations of the number (I actually did this, but I have to live in flat 28).
Over to you.
…. when you just woke in a cold sweat after reliving an alternative title finale, Alonso still lost
…. when you think its entirely normal to try and get up at insanse 0′clock for qualifying and sometimes even free practice
… when you jealously guard fridays on your uni timetable so you can watch free pracitce
… when you use social networking sites such as twitter and formspring soley to talk to people about F1
and PM that no.27 thing is brilliant, I always look out to see who gets no.27 when we go karting but I would never see myself as worthy of the number
- your ringtone is Seb Vettel crying like a little girl… .. 3 minutes after it was on the Beeb.
- Some bloke called Scarbs, holds a prominent place in your affections.
- when you hated the letters M and S, and the colour Red, but now hold a reverence for them.
..When you're dad gets a haircut, and the first thing you say is "you look like christian horner"
..When even though you've been living and driving the same route for 17 years, but you still rush to the window every time you pass Albert Park.
..Whenever it rains, you instantly compare it to korea.
and PM that no.27 thing is brilliant
Thank you. I also chose the block of flats (I get four – #25, #26, #27 and #28) because it's a little more isolated than most of the other blocks, my rooms (I get two because of my position) have a good view, the stairs at the front are steep (I need the exercise), it has its own volleyball court (technically, it belongs to the entire Village, but it's right outside my block) and there's a lot of greenery around instead of a car park. But the 27 was important.
.. when you're sure Mansell is gonna make a come back…
- You go to your car mechanic, and tell him that you are suffering from massive understeer.
- When your girlfriend says she is going to the Spa, and the first thing that pops into your mind is her sitting in a Mclaren and flooring it through Eau Rouge.
- You meet a Michael Schumacher fan, and for some reason you do not get along with that person. ;)
- While drinking champagne, you are sometimes tempted to either spray it out on everyone, or at least pour it out on the friends next to you.
- After winning a game of tennis… the Vettel index finger is now a part of your celebration.
- The F1 season has finally come to an end on Sunday, yet you log on to f1fanatic like nothing has changed.
…You take the racing line under any circumstances (walking, driving, pushing trolleys in the supermarket) and then retrace the route to try and perfect the line…
…You make massive amounts of pointless spreadsheets to store stats that are readily accessible on the internet…
…You create AI seasons on rFactor, watch the races and make notes of the results before compiling them into a wikipedia style results table just to see how a season could have turned out…
…A simple trip karting becomes more and more like an onboard lap of Senna at Monaco every time you remember it…
..You try slipstreaming on the freeway.
..You stop in front of the house and expect the mechanics to push you into the car park.
..You use racing lines while climbing up a stair case (quite fun)
…You're disappointed because it took you two-tenths of a second longer to eat your breakfast than yesterday morning.
…Halfway on your walk to work, you stop and change your shoes.
…Every time you're walking down the street, you have the unshakeable feeling that Fernando is faster than you.
Awesome topic!
…you try to be in the slipstream of the front car on the highway…
…every wet road seems dry after Malaysia 09…
…an old man is stuck to 40 kph and you can't pass him, so you start screaming "Fernando is faster than you, baby!!"
You go to an open go-kart track down by the harbour and end up overtaking everyone even though it's not a race.
You spend all your internet time here.
You come up with track layouts for the streets you're driving down (Chicago lakeside would be awesome, btw)
…your dad's first question on the phone is, "what are you doing this weekend? any Formula 1 on?"
…your girlfriend (who doesn't really like F1) refers to the drivers by the first name "Oh come on Mark, crash again!" – "Is that Vitaly?!"
…as soon as the season finishes, you start emailing around asking for past seasons (or maybe that's not long enough)
-Your dreams often yourself racing in F1
-You refuse to get drunk the night before F1 is on as you have to watch every second with an absolute clear head.
-someone laughs you think of Alonso at Korea.
-somesay says "baby" near you and you just have to snigger and say "Felipe baby" despite noone having a clue what the heck you're going on about.
-you make friends text you before 12 on a Sunday as you're convinced it'll bring luck as the last time they did that the result that day was very good.
-On a night out when you're asked if you want another glass of wine you start rambling on about Jarno Trulli
-You make your pin number relate to F1. I use certain cars numbers.
-you're driving along and you suddenly see a red car and want to follow it and pass it because you like to pretend it's a Ferrari
- you no longer use coventional dates and use F1 GP weeks as your reference point to work out where in the year you are.
-In a lecture you make your pens race against each other.
-taking notes and I'm bored I like to play a game and stick driver's names in i.e instead of writing "also" it would be "alo". When I try to read it back for revision it is very confusing!
- someone mentions The Hulk and you immediately jump in talking about whether he has done better than Petrov and in actual fact your friends are debating whether The Hulk or Spiderman was cooler.
- you use F1 situations as metaphors. In my not so wise moments when a friend has needed advice I have compared it to Suzuka 90 Senna vs Prost.
-you want to pull out a Wacky Races dvd just to give you some racing to watch during the off season

Until reading Cooper Ray's blog, the Social Primer, some men might not have known the precise guidelines for holding a cocktail party or the danger of double-booking social engagements. Which is why the Alabama dilettante is aiming to school even guys' guys with his lively and opinionated rants on everything from proper text-messaging etiquette to how to handle one's liquor. Since launching the site last fall, Ray (whose alter ego on the site goes by just "SP") says his following of well-mannered men has grown to 10,000 hits a day. And now he's started a product line — gentlemanly gear like embossed stationery inspired by William Faulkner and sterling-silver monogrammed cuff links — that he sells in pop-up shops and trunk shows around the country. The Moment caught up with Ray over e-mail and lobbed him a few questions. Read more…

What would bounty hunting look like if made legal here in Wisconsin?
Federal Judge William Conley has at least temporarily prevented the Walker administration from enforcing some rules it enacted at the state Capitol, following massive protests there in 2011.
The Milwaukee County Board and committees will meet at substitute locations unless the Courthouse reopens.
A proposal by a local task force is gaining steam in Wisconsin. It would limit Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices to one 16 year term. Right now, justices serve 10 year terms with no limits.

Downers Grove hosts ribbon cutting for reopening of Washington Street
DOWNERS GROVE – The village of Downers Grove hosted a ribbon cutting Friday to reopen Washington Street between Burlington and Maple avenues following a large construction project.
The effort replaced about 1,485 feet of water mains and 910 feet of storm sewer, according to the village.
It also reconstructed five sanitary manholes along with failed curb and gutter sections. The project also resurfaced and striped the road and fixed some sections of sidewalk. Curb extensions were added to the intersection of Washington and Curtiss streets. The crosswalk was also improved.
