Report: Saudi Missile Site Can Hit Israel and Iran
Satellite imagery indicates that Saudi Arabia has built a previously unknown desert missile site with launch pads that can be aimed at Iran and Israel, the London-based IHS Jane's Intelligence Review reported Thursday.
Saudi Arabia has long been one of the most anti-Israel countries on the diplomatic front but reportedly has cooperated with the Jewish state, which it does not recognize, in several areas. The oil kingdom is no less concerned than Israel that a nuclear Iran could attack Arab states ruled by Sunni Muslims in an effort to establish a pan-Islamic region.
The missile site probably has "limited operational capacity," according to Jane's but could be a training and storage site.Jewish Press News Briefs

A descendent of U.S. military units dispatched to Panama in the early 20th Century, U.S. Southern Command's history as a unified military headquarters began during World War II when U.S. planners established the U.S. Caribbean Defense Command.
During the 1950s, the command's responsibility shifted from U.S. military missions in the Caribbean basin to operations focused, primarily, in Central and South America. In 1963, U.S. authorities gave the command its current name, U.S. Southern Command. Below is a brief overview of our history, starting with the early Caribbean Defense Command days.
Located in Panama, the U.S. Caribbean Defense Command also established military training missions in Latin America; distributed military equipment to regional partners through the Lend Lease program; and opened U.S. service schools to Latin American soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
At the height of the war, U.S. military planners assigned 130,000 uniformed personnel to duty stations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Roughly half of those forces were under the direct control of the U.S. Caribbean Defense Command.
In 1947, U.S. strategists adopted a national security plan that transformed the wartime headquarters into the U.S. Caribbean Command. Beyond defending the Panama Canal, it assumed broad responsibilities for inter-American security cooperation in Central and South America. Yet during the 1950s, defense officials also removed the Caribbean basin from the U.S. Caribbean Command's area of focus. In the event of a global war with the communist powers, they reasoned, U.S. Atlantic Command, based in Norfolk, Va. needed the Caribbean basin to conduct hemispheric antisubmarine operations.
By 1960, the U.S. Caribbean Command — not engaged in the Caribbean — carried a name that incorrectly described its geographic interests, Central and South America. The John F. Kennedy administration, therefore, changed the name to U.S. Southern Command on June 6, 1963.
During the 1960s, the U.S. Southern Command mission involved defending the Panama Canal, contingency planning for Cold War activities, and the administration of the U.S. foreign military assistance program in Central and South America. In particular, U.S. Southern Command personnel undertook civic-action projects with partner nation forces to accelerate regional development.
Yet during the 1970s, after the Vietnam War, the Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended disestablishing the command to trim the U.S. military presence abroad. For political reasons, the command narrowly survived, albeit with limited responsibilities and resources.
In the 1980s, internal conflicts in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and elsewhere rekindled U.S. military interest in Latin America. The Ronald W. Reagan administration, in turn, revitalized U.S. Southern Command.
When the Cold War ended, the command, like other U.S. military organizations, entered a period of dramatic change. In rapid succession, U.S. Southern Command embraced counter-drug operations, expanded its area of geographic focus to include the Caribbean, and enhanced its capacity for humanitarian missions. In September 1997, U.S. Southern Command moved to Miami with revised priorities, objectives, and capabilities.

Canadian Union of Postal Workers Local 810 president Jason Ripplinger delivers mail on Thursday. The elimination of certain area mail routes as part of delivery cutbacks by Canada Post could put a number of local jobs at risk, Ripplinger warned.
Planned delivery cutbacks at Canada Post could threaten the livelihoods of almost a dozen area mail carriers, according to a local union leader.
Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) Local 810 president Jason Ripplinger acknowledged that the elimination of routes may put jobs at risk.
"We're figuring we may lose 40 per cent of the routes here," Ripplinger said. "We have 26 full-time routes and three part-time ones, so we're probably looking at a loss of at least 10 to 12 routes in Prince Albert.
"That's 10 to 12 jobs where these guys make a decent wage … I'm not too sure when they get rid of those 10 routes what's going to happen to those 10 guys at the bottom.
"Either they'll be laid off, which they say they're not going to do … or they'll be offered jobs somewhere else."
For some workers, he noted, packing up and moving might be easier said than done.
"These guys (have) got families," Ripplinger said. "They're not going to want to move."
Canada Post this week announced 11 centres across the country that will begin collecting their mail at community mailboxes in the fall, as the Crown corporation moves to end door-to-door delivery over the next five years.
The change stands to affect large parts of Prince Albert, since community mailboxes are presently concentrated in the east end of the city.
Ripplinger estimated that community mailboxes constitute 75 per cent of his present route, extending from Marquis Road to the railroad tracks near 15th Street. Private mailboxes, meanwhile, still reign in neighbourhoods west of 15th Avenue East.
Canada Post spokesperson Jon Hamilton defended the transition to community mailboxes at the one-third of Canadian households that still receive delivery to their doors.
"Community mailboxes have been a reality across Canada for 30 years," he said. "We first started installing them in the late 1980s and have been servicing millions of Canadians ever since.
"Anyone that has a rural mailbox at the end of the driveway or … a box in the lobby of (their) apartment or condo building or seniors' residence, or already has a community mailbox, will see no change as a result."
Delivery to businesses will be less affected, with door-to-door delivery still planned for business districts. Hamilton argued that businesses tend to receive more mail and send more parcels, and it therefore makes sense to continue delivering to them.
The emphasis on businesses, however, was another point of contention for Ripplinger, who noted that the government primarily consulted members of the business community before announcing the changes.
"They didn't consult with the public at all to see what the public's reaction would be -- probably because it would have been so negative that they didn't bother consulting the public," he said.
"So really, they just went to businessmen around the city to see what their needs were and they didn't really go to the public to see what their needs were … They're not going to bother coming to you and me. They just wanted to know what the business community wanted out of them."
Making the case for cutbacks, Hamilton said that the core business of Canada Post -- delivery of letters, bills, etc. -- has been in "freefall" for years.
He pointed to long-term projections suggesting that the postal operator could face losses of $1 billion per year by 2020 if it fails to control costs through sweeping structural changes.
CUPW representatives disagree. Ripplinger noted that Canada Post has turned a profit in 16 of the last 17 years -- with the only exception being in 2011, when the company locked out its unionized workforce.
"That's usually what the union clings to," Hamilton said in response.
He added, "When you're planning for the future, you sometimes have to let go of the past … The reality is, we've been able to keep our head above water over the last few years by reducing our costs."
Given those public concerns over cost-cutting, CUPW representatives have questioned the concurrent awarding of lucrative bonuses to Canada Post CEO Deepak Chopra and others in top management positions.
We're probably looking at a loss of at least 10 to 12 routes in Prince Albert … I'm not too sure when they get rid of those 10 routes what's going to happen to those 10 guys at the bottom. Jason Ripplinger
While precise dollar amounts have not been made public, Ripplinger reported hearing from CUPW that salaries and bonuses for senior management at Canada Post amount to approximately $10 million per year.
"That's quite a bit of money," he said.
Hamilton, however, said that as the size of the post office shrinks in the coming years -- with 8,000 projected job losses primarily in larger centres such as Vancouver, Toronto and Winnipeg -- the size of its workforce will also shrink.
"We're one of the largest employers in Canada," he said. "So we need to be leaner going forward, and that will be an effort that will happen from top to bottom right across the company."
Though some opponents have raised the spectre of the privatization of Canada Post, Hamilton said that was not the government's mandate.
"Our mandate is to serve all Canadians and do so in a way where we don't become a drain on the taxpayers, and that's our focus," he said.
But Ripplinger remained skeptical.
"They're always going to say it's not their mandate, but they've tried privatizing us before and they'll try it again," he said. "I believe that they're going for a privatization of their business.
"I mean, there are things that come out in the mail that kind of makes the union shake its head."
As an example, he cited letters that recently went out to households across Prince Albert encouraging people to do their banking online.
"When you're trying to increase business and get more business, how does that make sense to tell people to go online and pay their bills, switch to online banking?" he asked.
"It doesn't make any sense. It just seems like this corporation has set itself on self-destruct, and maybe that'll be the first step towards privatization."
As Canada Post continues to roll out delivery cutbacks, both sides are preparing to fight the battle for public opinion.
While the government plans to work with communities to explain the changes and ensure a smooth transition, CUPW Local 810 is readying its own strategy.
"In the near future, we'll be out and about collecting signatures and bringing out these flyers, going door to door, stuff like that," Ripplinger said.
"We've even thought about going into a couple of the malls and we're going to ask the managers of the malls if they wouldn't mind us setting up a table and collecting signatures on a petition or something like that."
The intended recipient of such a petition would likely be Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback, who last month voted down an NDP-sponsored motion in the House of Commons to preserve door-to-door delivery.
"He wants door-to-door delivery to end," Ripplinger said. "Now, whether he's just listening to his leader or whether he himself believes that this will save Canada Post, I'm not too sure. I haven't talked to him yet."
One option Ripplinger ruled out for the moment was strike action, since any strike by postal workers would be illegal under current legislation.
Even as CUPW plans to wage a campaign against the changes to Canada Post, Ripplinger noted the possibility for future events, such as an expected federal election in 2015 and the renegotiation of the urban operations contract in 2016, to affect the final outcome.
"If the Conservatives get another majority, this might push all the way through," he said. "If it goes back a minority government or somehow the NDP or the Liberals are elected to lead, this might go away.
"That's kind of my perspective on it, and I've heard that from a lot of other union presidents and union activists as well."

Germany's Schaeuble Criticizes Bundesbank President Weidmann
FRANKFURT (MNI) - Germany's Finance Minister Wolfang Schaeuble criticized Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann over the weekend for his public opposition to the European Central Bank's new bond buy program, OMT.
"I am not sure that it contributes to confidence in the central bank when this debate is being carried out semi-publicly," Schaeuble told German weekly Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.
Weidmann was the only member of the 23-strong ECB Governing to oppose the central bank's new program, warning that bond market interventions go beyond the central bank's mandate and threaten to undermine its independence.
"The population is deeply insecure, and the central bank is one of the institutions that citizens generally trust," Schaueble told the paper.
Schaeuble's public criticism of the Bundesbank President is highly unusual. In Germany, the Bundesbank's independence has traditionally been held in high esteem, which has made government officials reluctant to challenge the Bundesbank's positions in public.

An Owen County man was recently indicted after allegedly escaping May 2 from a Carroll County deputy sheriff.
While in Owen County, Patrick W. McGlennen, 21, was being arrested by officers of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office on a felony theft warrant from Carroll County.
According to a report obtained from the Commonwealth Attorney's office, when Carroll County Deputy Sheriff James Shaw arrived on the scene on Eagle Creek Road, Carroll County Sheriff Jamie Kinman already had McGlennen in the back of his cruiser, but Kinman asked Shaw to put McGlennen in his cruiser.
From art to demonstrations, from local food vendors to a wide array of musical talent, the Owen County Arts Council is promising an action-packed day for its third annual Sweet Owen Arts in the Park festival.
The event will be held at the Owen County Fairgrounds beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday.
This festival has continued to grow since its beginning in 2009, due in part to advertising on National Public Radio in Lexington, Louisville and Cincinnati.
Owen County Arts Council member Patty Petzinger said at least a third of those who attended the festival last year were from out of town.
Two Owen County men have been arrested in connection with the robbery of First Farmers Bank in Gratz, over a year after the robbery took place.
Edward Cook and Bryan Kelly, both of Owenton, were arrested at 10:30 a.m. April 29.
According to a Kentucky State Police press release, investigators determined through investigation that Cook and Kelly were allegedly responsible for the robbery.
Cook and Kelly were transported to the Lexington/Fayette Detention facility where they are held on federal bank robbery charges.
Life could soon come back to the recently-abandoned facility that housed Maurice Bowling Middle School students for nearly 26 years following the Owen County Board of Education's approval of a $1.6 million building and grounds plan.
The document came before the board after the district's local planning committee decided to keep the existing district facility plan, which outlines reconstruction of the old middle school in order to move the Owen County Elementary students there.
Beech Grove Baptist Church Pastor Steve Delany acknowledges keeping Owen County dry will be an uphill battle. In talking to local officials, Delaney was told the ratio for people talking to magistrates in favor of going wet is 10-1. But as he spoke Monday night as part of a meeting of Citizens For A Dry Owen County, Delaney said his side could prevail. "It's going to be difficult but this is a winnable fight," Delaney said. "It's not something that just a few people can do.
Voting in Tuesday's primary election in Owen County was light with only a 14.3 percent turnout.
In the Republican primary for governor, Owen County bucked the statewide trend and selected the Tea Party supported candidate Phil Moffett over heavily-favored Kentucky Senate President David Williams.
Despite the loss in Owen County, the Williams/Richie Farmer ticket went on to beat Moffett and his running mate Mike Harmon by 10 percentage points statewide.
The Owen County race breaks down to 130 votes for Moffett; 109 for Williams; and 32 for Barbara Hosclaw.
Two local residents will soon be going halfway around the world on a mission trip.
Kasey and John Randall Towles are traveling with Betty Cutts of Morehead to southern China.
Cutts is the founder of Blessing Hands, a faith-based, non-profit organization that supports humanitarian aid and education for children in Longfu Township, Qinzhou City, Du'an County, and Yangshuo County in Guangxi Province.
They will be delivering medical supplies for 20 health assistants, who will be attending a 10-day medical workshop taught using the book called "Where There is No Doctor."

A St. Cloud teenager is making a name for himself as a power soccer player.
Sixteen-year-old Riley Johnson was born with arthrogryposis, a disorder that causes joint stiffness. He walks with leg braces and plays soccer with a specially-designed power wheelchair.
The St. Cloud Times reports that Johnson is a member of Team USA, which won the Under 18 International Power Football Tournament in Paris earlier this month.
He also plays for the Minnesota Magic, a national power soccer team that practices in Monticello.
Johnson loves all sports, but his disability made it difficult to participate with traditional teams.
He was introduced to power soccer at age 6 at the Courage Center in Golden Valley, and his mom says he decided it was the sport for him.

It's no secret that teams around the NBA—specifically, those without a prayer of making the playoffs, much less contending for the Larry O'Brien Trophy—are trying to do everything but win.
Because losing, as it happens, can open up paths to long-term success. Like the other major American professional sports, basketball rewards its biggest losers with plum draft picks. This affords the worst teams the best opportunity to snag the top talent of tomorrow, even (or, rather, especially) if it means putting out a mediocre product today.
In the parlance of our times, this strategy is referred to as "tanking." And, with what's expected to be a loaded pool of talent stepping into the 2014 NBA draft, tanking has become all the rage.
Which shouldn't come as any surprise. After all, one superstar can make all the difference.
The Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics all made major moves this past summer to strip-mine their rosters and drop like stones down the league standings. Chances are, they'll be joined in this apparent race to the bottom by the Charlotte Bobcats, Sacramento Kings and Orlando Magic, among others.
As if there were any doubt that tanking is an actual thing, one anonymous general manager (via ESPN's Jeff Goodman) has confirmed that front-office executives are indeed pursuing purposeful putridity this season.
If you value earnest competition, as outgoing commissioner David Stern and current deputy Adam Silver certainly do, you can't be too pleased to hear anyone lending credence to this notion, however obvious its existence may be to hoops heads everywhere.
What, then, can Stern, Silver and their colleagues at the league office in New York City do to curb teams' enthusiasm for tanking?
Quite a bit, actually.

According to Develop, Game IP and other remaining assets owned by L.A. Noire Developer Team Bondi may have been sold off to Kennedy Miller Mitchell, a Sydney based production studio. Bondi has been under the microscope lately as news of their harsh working conditions while developing L.A. Noire made their way across the Internet. KMM works across a variety of media, including games, and according to Develop, all of the staff from Team Bondi were given the choice of a job at KMM or severance pay.
- NEWSL.A. Noire Developer Team Bondi Under Investigation After Employees Claim Being Severely Overworked
There are rumors that Team Bondi went bankrupt, or that KMM simply just bought the studio. No official documents have been made available to the public, but the word on the street is Brendan McNamara will be joining KMM too. Many of the complaints filed against Team Bondi had to do with McNamara's unrelenting crunch demands, so I'm sure many of the staff will not be too pleased about this.
Regardless, all of the promised bonus money from the successful L.A. Noire sales are probably gone, and none of those hard working developers will get a cut of it.
Develop states that Rockstar Games still owns the L.A. Noire IP and has not been affected by the sale. For those PC gamers who still want to get their hands on L.A. Noire, don't worry, as Rockstar Leeds is still working on that version of the crime solving game.
What do you think about the seeming downfall of Team Bondi?

When my post titles get more and more pretentious that's when you know I am in a very reflective mode :). It must be the end of the year I presume, it forces us to think of what has been and what is yet to come.
Those are the days when I run with loud music in my ears, go out of my way to try and catch at least a few sunsets on the beach, fill my brain with quotes and song lyrics and all my visual space with inspirational posters. Tis the season to reflect…
Yesterday I decided that my mind needed distraction and made an impromptu decision to go to my favourite place in Dubai which is 360 in Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
Imagine my excitement when I realized it was freezing cold: ergo an opportunity to wear layers.
The walkway to the club was ultra windy but I needed to stop a few times because the views were breathtaking. The full moon over the mosque was one of the prettiest things my camera has captured in quite some time.
Back to the outfit:
1. The sequin trousers (they are actual trousers, not leggings) are from Blanc NYC at shopbop.com. I'm really happy with them but they run petite in size and so my usual size 24 is one size too small.
They rest very low on my hips and I would have preferred a size 25 in order not to always be petrified that I am showing off my underwear (tres tacky yo). May need to go to a tailor and have them altered as it's too late for returns / exchanges.
2. The boots are ZARA. Initially I thought of wearing something more dainty like a strappy sandal but I wanted to dance so comfort came first!
3. The YSL sweatshirt needs no further intro.
4. The jacket is a leather piece from a Danish designer called Stella Nova.
I bought it in Sweden 4 years ago and I think I have worn it 3 times all together. It was very expensive and is of great quality so I don't have the heart to get rid of it, yet there is something about it however that always ends up throwing me off. I think I want to venture down the DIY route and do something to sprouce it up.
5. A simple grey jersey scarf is my favourite accessory this time of the year!

You are developing a server-side enterprise application. It must support a variety of different clients including desktop browsers, mobile browsers and native mobile applications. The application might also expose an API for 3rd parties to consume. It might also integrate with other applications via either web services or a message broker. The application handles requests (HTTP requests and messages) by executing business logic; accessing a database; exchanging messages with other systems; and returning a HTML/JSON/XML response.
The application has either a layered or hexagonal architecture and consists of different types of components:
There are logical components corresponding to different functional areas of the application.
What's the application's deployment architecture?
Architect the application by applying the Scale Cube (specifically y-axis scaling) and functionally decompose the application into a set of collaborating services. Each service implements a set of narrowly, related functions. For example, an application might consist of services such as the order management service, the customer management service etc.
Services communicate using either synchronous protocols such as HTTP/REST or asynchronous protocols such as AMQP.
Services are developed and deployed independently of one another.
Each service has its own database in order to be decoupled from other services. When necessary, consistency is between databases is maintained using either database replication mechanisms or application-level events.
Let's imagine that you are building an e-commerce application that takes orders from customers, verifies inventory and available credit, and ships them. The application consists of several components including the StoreFrontUI, which implements the user interface, along with some backend services for checking credit, maintaining inventory and shipping orders.
The application is deployed as a set of services.
This solution has a number of benefits:
Each service can be deployed independently of other services - easier to deploy new versions of services frequently
Easier to scale development. It enables you to organize the development effort around multiple teams. Each (two pizza) team is responsible a single service. Each team can develop, deploy and scale their service independently of all of the other teams.
Improved fault isolation. For example, if there is a memory leak in one service then only that service will be affected. The other services will continue to handle requests. In comparison, one misbehaving component of a monolithic architecture can bring down the entire system.
Each service can be developed and deployed independently
This solution has a number of drawbacks:
Deployment complexity. In production, there is also the operational complexity of deploying and managing a system comprised of many different service types.
One challenge with using this approach is deciding when it makes sense to use it. When developing the first version of an application, you often do not have the problems that this approach solves. Moreover, using an elaborate, distributed architecture will slow down development. This can be a major problem for startups whose biggest challenge is often how to rapidly evolve the business model and accompanying application. Using Y-axis splits might make it much more difficult to iterate rapidly. Later on, however, when the challenge is how to scale and you need to use functional decomposition, the tangled dependencies might make it difficult to decompose your monolithic application into a set of services.
Another challenge is deciding how to partition the system into microservices. This is very much an art, but there are a number of strategies that can help. One approach is to partition services by verb or use case. For example, later on you will see that the partitioned e-commerce application has a Shipping service that's responsible for shipping complete orders. Another common example of partitioning by verb is a login service that implements the login use case.
Another partitioning approach is to partition the system by nouns or resources. This kind of service is responsible for all operations that operate on entities/resources of a given type. For example, later on you will see how it makes sense for the e-commerce system to have an Inventory service that keeps track of whether products are in stock.
Ideally, each service should have only a small set of responsibilities. (Uncle) Bob Martin talks about designing classes using the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). The SRP defines a responsibility of a class as a reason to change, and states that a class should only have one reason to change. It make sense to apply the SRP to service design as well.
Another analogy that helps with service design is the design of Unix utilities. Unix provides a large number of utilities such as grep, cat and find. Each utility does exactly one thing, often exceptionally well, and can be combined with other utilities using a shell script to perform complex tasks.
There are many patterns related to the microservices pattern.
Most large scale web sites including Netflix, Amazon and eBay have evolved from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture.
Netflix, which is a very popular video streaming service that's responsible for up to 30% of Internet traffic, has a large scale, service-oriented architecture. They handle over a billion calls per day to their video streaming API from over 800 different kinds of devices. Each API call fans out to an average of six calls to backend services.
Amazon.com originally had a two-tier architecture. In order to scale they migrated to a service-oriented architecture consisting of hundreds of backend services. Several applications call these services including the applications that implement the Amazon.com website and the web service API. The Amazon.com website application calls 100-150 services to get the data that used to build a web page.
The auction site ebay.com also evolved from a monolithic architecture to a service-oriented architecture. The application tier consists of multiple independent applications. Each application implements the business logic for a specific function area such as buying or selling. Each application uses X-axis splits and some applications such as search use Z-axis splits. Ebay.com also applies a combination of X-, Y- and Z-style scaling to the database tier.
Chris Richardson has examples of microservices-based applications.

Jewish groups protest at Last Supper site in Jerusalem comment (0)
June 5, 2014
JERUSALEM — Jewish religious and nationalist groups demonstrated May 22 to demand that the Israeli government not cede sovereignty or control of the Cenacle, traditionally considered the site of Jesus' Last Supper.
Located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, the Cenacle, which means dinner, sits directly above David's Tomb, the place many Jews believe the biblical King David is buried. Ultra-Orthodox Jews pray in the lower chamber on a daily basis.
The Israeli prime minister's office said the government "has no intention to grant the Vatican ownership or sovereignty over the Tomb of David or the Cenacle. These are baseless allegations."
Israeli police say rumors related to a possible transfer of authority likely triggered vandalism against Christian institutions. The vandals scrawled graffiti declaring "King David is for the Jews, Jesus is garbage" on a wall opposite a Jerusalem church.
The same week, a Roman Catholic official discovered the words "Death to Arabs, Christians and all those who hate Israel" spray-painted in Hebrew on a column in front of Jerusalem's Notre Dame Center. The center is the property of the Vatican.

The Yakovlev Yak-9 was a single-engine fighter aircraft used by the Soviet Union in World War II and after. Fundamentally a lighter development of the Yak-7 with the same armament, it arrived at the front at the end of 1942. The Yak-9 had a lowered rear fuselage decking and all-around vision canopy. Its lighter airframe gave the new fighter a flexibility that previous models had lacked. The pilots who flew it regarded its performance as comparable to or better than that of the Messerschmitt Bf 109G and Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3/A-4. The Yak-9 was the most mass-produced Soviet fighter of all time. It remained in production from 1942 to 1948, with 16,769 built (14,579 during the war). The Yak-9 was the first Soviet aircraft to shoot down a Messerschmitt Me 262 jet. Following World War II it was used by the North Korean Air Force during the Korean War.

What is in this article?:
- Potato psyllid research helps determine BMP
- Seven treatments
- The potato psyllid is the insect that transmits a bacterium that causes the relatively new disease in potatoes known as zebra chip.
- Producers are interested in control.
- Seven treatments under evaluation.
Seven treatments
His study consists of seven different treatments to determine the best time to begin spraying:
- Apply chemicals, similar to the management program used by potato growers, which means a soil treatment at planting and weekly foliar sprays beginning 30 to 45 days after the soil treatment regardless of psyllid numbers. This is the "farmer control" by which all other treatments are compared. Typically, growers use one chemical for two weeks and then switch to one with a different mode of action to try to prevent resistance buildup.
- Making treatments when three or more psyllids are caught on sticky traps within a week.
- Sweep-net sampling and treating after at least six psyllids are caught per 10 sweeps in a field.
- Testing the psyllids to see if they carry the bacterium and spraying if they do.
- Spraying based on immature psyllids collected per leaf sample. Two per leaf triggers a treatment.
- Treating weekly as the potato growers do, but using a special mixture of pesticides.
- An untreated control against which all other treatments are compared.
The field was planted the first week of April and sampling with sticky traps and leaf samples began the second week of May, Bynum said. The first commercial application-type treatment was made the first week of June. To date, psyllid numbers have not been high enough to warrant spraying based on the action threshold treatments.
"We will carry these out until 80 to 100 days after planting, depending on the insect pressure. That will take the crop almost to harvest," he said.
"Last year we had hot psyllids (those carrying the bacterial pathogen) in both the Olton and Dalhart areas when we surveyed producers' fields for Dr. John Goolsby," Bynum said. "In our test at Bushland last year, we started with heavy psyllid pressure early in the season. This year, we are starting with hardly any. So it is unpredictable when pressure will begin and how long it lasts.
"That's why it is important to see if we can find a sampling method that allows us to better target treatments at appropriate times, instead of the current blanket method of treating throughout the growing season."
Bynum said last year's cost comparison between commercial and experimental treatments showed as much as $300 difference per acre in chemical costs.
"If we can come up with a method to make this decision, then producers can save the cost of the chemical and application, and at the same time prevent the exposure to severe incidences of zebra chip," he said.
This also helps reduce the potential for developing resistance to insecticides, Bynum said.
Michels is looking at both large-farm scale and small-plot chemical control. The current practice of chemical control is based on growers' efforts to get ahead of the psyllids and stay ahead, fearing that if they wait, they will get behind and not be able to catch up and lose a good portion of the production.
"What is typically being done is treatment with a neonicotinoid insecticide when potato plants emerge," he said. "That should provide protection for 30 to 40 days. Producers can't immediately go back with another neonicotinoid for fear of building up resistance, so we are trying to find other chemicals that will provide acceptable control."
Researchers are looking at four chemical application timings: the commercial grower sequence, only when hot psyllids are found, no treatment and one quitting early.
"That's what this summer is for, to see if any of the new compounds work.
And we will tie in with Ed Bynum's work," Michels said. "The long-term goal is to reduce the amount of chemicals used but be able to give the same amount of protection.
"We want to come up with a sequence of the proper chemicals so we won't get chemical resistance in the psyllids and also reduce the amount of chemical used."
In another study on the potato field, small tents have been erected to allow Rush and his team to inoculate plants with 30 psyllids. After allowing them one week to feed, the psyllids are killed off and then the plants are sampled weekly for the zebra chip titer.
"We want to see when the pathogen starts developing in the plant, when the disease starts expressing itself and how that relates to severity of disease in the tubers," he said.
It is possible that if psyllids come in late, even if they infect the plant, the pathogen may not have time to move to the tubers and cause zebra chip. If that is the case, then there would be no need for end-of-season insecticide applications, Rush said.
"Our long-term goal with all these studies is to develop a pest risk assessment tool that the producers can use and feel confident in."

Apple factory shift to US not trendsetter: report
December 10, 2012, 12:23 am TWN
TAIPEI--Apple Inc.'s decision to partially shift its production back to the United States is unlikely to trigger a trend of technology supply chains shifting their production bases due to the small scale of Apple's move, HSBC Securities said in a recent report.
Jenny Lai, head of equity research at HSBC Securities Taiwan, said the announcement made by Apple CEO Tim Cook was in response to the U.S. government's plan to create more job opportunities through manufacturing in the United States.
However, the shifting of one of Apple's iMac computer production lines back to the U.S., "is not going to emerge (as) an overall trend in tech manufacturing," Lai wrote in a Dec. 7 report.
Apple's move was unlikely to become a trend because most companies' personal computers, servers and television products meant for sales in the U.S. were already being produced in Mexico, which was closer to the American market, Lai said.
Moreover, Apple's initial investment of US$100 million in the U.S. iMac plant was "very small," and indicated that the new iMac plant was small and likely to be used only for a final assembly of PC and TV products, Lai said.
The new plant could also be used to produce "iTV" — a device that combines features from an iPad tablet with those of a television set — in the future, she added.
Both PCs and TVs were mostly assembled close to the sales location as their bigger size involved greater shipping costs, according to HSBC's report.
Lai said that as far as supply was concerned, Apple's production shift would benefit Taiwanese automation suppliers such as Delta Electronics Inc. and Hiwin Technologies Corp., since most manufacturing lines in the U.S. were highly automated in view of steep labor costs.
In a media interview published on Dec. 6, Apple's Cook said the company planned on shifting one of its Macintosh computer production lines back to the United States from China next year.

The 75 citizens who attended Thursday's Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Beeville Country Club came away with a plethora of positive facts and figures that could be realized with the building of a new $1.8 million warehouse at Chase Field.
However, the most encouraging announcement was by Laura Fischer, Bee Development Authority board president. She told the audience that Joe Montez, BDA executive director, was in Austin and had been informed that the state had awarded $645,000 that day toward the project from the governor's Military Preparedness Commission.
She thanked our new state Rep. José Aliseda, who was present at the Chamber meeting, for making calls and helping Beeville obtain the state grant.
Now the local investment to complete the project will amount to less than $1.2 million, she added. The state grant will only be awarded if the community can come up with the remainder of the funds needed.
Guest speaker Jerry Walker with Impact Data Services from Austin presented a Power Point program on the economic impact of building the new warehouse for Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance and Kay and Associates at the former Navy base.
The economic consulting specialist determined that over the next 10 years the facility would result in 175 direct jobs and about 175 indirect jobs for some 350 total jobs.
He indicated there would be $125 million realized in direct and indirect salaries over 10 years, and 165 workers would move to the community. Some 579 new residents would come here, he said.
Walker believes that $2.9 million in new residential property will be added to the local tax rolls, and 206 new students to the public schools. This would mean $46 million in new taxable sales in the community, largely from workers' spending.
He projected that there would be $3.2 million in additional revenues for the city in the form of sales and property taxes, utility revenues, hotel occupancy taxes and other taxes and fees. He added that there would be $2.5 million in additional costs, providing utilities and services to the new residents.
Overall, he noted $2.2 million in total net benefits, with the Beeville ISD being the biggest beneficiary, followed by the city, county, water supply district and college.
He determined the $1.8 million would be a good investment, provided the company hire as many workers as indicated. He projected a 12.6 percent average annual rate of return on the investment over each of the first 10 years if the community footed the entire $1.8 million, which "is a good rate of return."
When informed of the state's $645,000 reducing the local cost to roughly $1.15 million, Walker said that would raise the return on investment upward of 18 percent annually for an even better deal.
Fair-minded Bee Countians who are interested in seeing this community grow and prosper during the next decade would wholeheartedly agree.

"Many reasons to start eating healthy oat meal porridge"
It has been in trend to make overnight oat meal for breakfast in the breastfeeding community, but I have more reasons to start having it on daily basis. Not only for increasing break milk supply, I need this healthy low-fat meal to kick start my dieting plan, too.
However, as many would agree, who likes oat porridge?! So many people, including myself, were having this impression that oat meal is for the sick patient, and it taste yucky…. but but, let me tell you now, it's not true!

Apple has announced financial results for its fiscal 2013 third quarter ended June 29, 2013. Apple's revenue was only slightly higher than during the same period last year, whereas the revenue dropped. During the quarter the company suffered drop in demand for media tablets, players and personal computers, but managed to sell more iPhone smartphones than expected.
Apple posted quarterly revenue of $35.3 billion and quarterly net profit of $6.9 billion, or $7.47 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $35 billion and net profit of $8.8 billion, or $9.32 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.9 percent compared to 42.8 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 57 percent of the quarter's revenue.
"We are especially proud of our record June quarter iPhone sales of over 31 million and the strong growth in revenue from iTunes, software and services. We are really excited about the upcoming releases of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks, and we are laser-focused and working hard on some amazing new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014," said Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive officer.
Apple sold 31.2 million iPhones, a record for the June quarter, compared to 26 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 20%.
The iPhone sales were ahead of the company's expectations. The smartphones sold particularly well in countries like the U.S., UK, Japan, Brazil, Russia, India, Thailand and Singapore. According to Apple, iPhone 5 remains the most popular iPhone to date, which is rather logical, given great expansion of user based and geographical availability.
Apple also sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, compared to 17 million in the year-ago quarter.
Since Apple has not launched a new iPad since last November, the company did could not sell as many new media tablets as it did last year, in the first months of iPad 3 availability. Quite naturally, a number of rivals for the iPad emerged.
The company sold 3.8 million Macs, compared to 4 million in the year-ago quarter, a 7% decline, but higher than Apple initially expected.
The company blames slow overall PC market for declining sales of Macintosh personal computers.
Apple sold 4.56 million iPods compared to 6.8 million in the year ago quarter, which is barely unexpected since personal digital media players are products that will hardly ever regain their past popularity.
iPod Touch continued to account for a significant share of all iPods sold during the June quarter.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 Apple expects revenue between $34 billion and $37 billion, gross margin between 36% and 37%, operating expenses between $3.9 billion and $3.95 billion and other income/(expense) of $200 million.

Casefile Clues
Michael John Neill's weekly genealogy how-to column.
Friday, March 29, 2013
Getting Past Initial Assumptions
This is the 1860 census entry for Michael Trautvetter that was part of our discussion in the last issue of Casefile Clues. As mentioned in the newsletter, Michael and Margaret are indicated as having married within the census year. My initial take on the entry was that somehow the 523 numbers were either a "mistake" or that the neighboring household was perhaps Margaret's home. I originally had concluded that John Mininger was a step-son to Trautvetter and early in my research when I noticed this entry, I had not noticed the household that followed.
Another real possibility is that the 523 entries were simply "moved down" a line and John Mininger should have not been in the Trautvetter household at all. Madaleine pointed out that possibility to me during the edit process for the last issue of the newsletter and it's a valid point--and required a little rewriting to include it.

No syllable in Paul's letter to the Romans could be termed "neglected," but recent decades have witnessed something of a shift in scholarly interest away from chapters 5–8.

My title contains an obvious allusion to Rudolf Bultmann's well-known program of demythologization.1 I want to argue in this paper that Paul's concern in Romans 5–8 is not demythologization but mythologization, if the word can be allowed. One of the main reasons Paul programmatically mythologizes in these chapters ...

When Paul pauses, midway through Romans 5, to redraw the map of the cosmos, he sees two, and only two, power structures at work within it (5:12-21).
