How Effective is Sharpshooter Control at Limiting Pierce's Disease Spread in California Vineyards?
No full textPierce’s disease management in southern California vineyards hinges on chemical control of populations of the vector, the invasive glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis), residing in citrus. Systemic insecticides (imidacloprid) are regularly applied to citrus, which is a preferred plant type for the sharpshooter, to reduce insect abundance before they move into vineyards. These treatment programs have been successful, reducing regional sharpshooter populations to a fraction of what they once were. Grape growers also frequently apply systemic insecticides in vineyards, but the efficacy of these treatments for disease management is not known. Over the last three years we conducted a series of surveys in treated and untreated vineyards in Temecula Valley to determine the relative economic value of within-vineyard chemical control for Pierces disease management. In each of the past three seasons we surveyed 34 vineyards in the Temecula Valley that differ in their use of systemic insecticides, and monitored regularly populations of sharpshooters and beneficial insects. Among the years overall Pierce’s disease prevalence was low; averaging approximately 1% based on visual symptoms. Prevalence differed slightly among fields of different treatment categories with the lowest infection rates in those vineyards that were either consistently or intermittently treated with imidacloprid. Based on sticky trap monitoring, consistently or intermittently treated vineyards also had lower catches of sharpshooters than untreated fields, but natural enemy catch did not differ appreciably among the three treatment categories. Finally, tap sampling results showed slightly lower natural enemy abundance in consistently treated sites, but the abundance of non-predatory arthropods was also substantially lower in those sites. Collectively, these results suggest that imidacloprid treatments may reduce slightly disease spread, at least in part due to reductions in vector pressure, but without any clear non-target effects on natural enemies that may lead to secondary pest outbreaks. However, it may not be critical to treat vineyards every year; at least not as long as regional vector populations continue to be reduced through areawide control programs

PERCEPTIONS OF INDIANA’S ENGINEERING/TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION CLASSROOM TEACHERS AS MEASURED BY THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION SURVEY
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to determine Engineering/Technology Education (ETE) teachers’ perceptions of Project Lead The Way’s (PLTW) pre-engineering program in the state of Indiana utilizing the Characteristics of Technology Education Survey (CTES) (Daugherty, Hill, & Wicklein, 1996). The study focused on the perceptions of teachers who were and were not teaching PLTW’s pre-engineering curriculum as they related to curriculum content, teaching methodology, curriculum integration, and fit of curriculum in school environment. Two hundred and eighty two or 51.3% of Indiana high school ETE teachers responded to the 46 question CTES. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were conducted to test for significance. The study found no significant differences in the perceptions of ETE teachers who were and who were not teaching PLTW’s pre-engineering program
Birch Tree Apartments and wrap-around services
No full textThe Birch Tree Affordable Housing Project is located in the rural Southeast Missouri community of Farmington. The Project involves the complete rehabilitation of a 56-unit apartment complex and a set of complementary wraparound services. The wrap-around services include a Head Start Center located within the complex itself, a community garden, Financial and Job Search Life Skills programs, Assets for Independence and Family Self-Sufficiency programs, a Summer Food feeding site, and a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Given current community dynamics, housing affordability is a difficult matter for many Farmington residents. Specifically, approximately 37% of the households in Farmington spend 58% of their income on housing and are unable to pay for food, utilities, clothing, or save for an emergency. Should this persist unabated, Farmington risks increased poverty, possible home loss, and increased social and economic burden to the community. The Birch Tree Affordable Housing Project will allow families to increase their budgeting skills to plan for the financial resources that are available. It will also increase affordable and quality child care; increase the amount of safe, sanitary, decent, and affordable housing; increase the number of economically disadvantaged people getting education and training required for better paying jobs; and increase the income for economically disadvantaged families.

Executive Secrets: Covert Action and the Presidency
Get PDFA frank and refreshing evaluation of several Chief Executives, their Directors of Central Intelligence, and even some lower in the hierarchy, Executive Secrets shines light on the development and execution of foreign policy through the understanding of the tools available, of which covert action may be least known and understood. This book is a great tool for the press, the public, and many political appointees in the National Security System. A History Book Club Selection with a foreword by Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down.
[Daugherty] gives a frank and refreshing evaluation of several Chief Executives, their Directors of Central Intelligence, and even some lover in the hierarchy. Anyone interested or involved in the development and execution of foreign policy must know the tools available, of which covert action may be least known and understood. This understanding is also pertinent to a wider audience: the press, the public, and many political appointees in the National Security system. This book should help. -- Air Power History
