Man accused of
plotting to attack
US Capitol arrested
BY LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — A man
who plotted to attack the U.S.
Capitol and kill government
officials inside it and spoke of
his desire to support the Islamic
State militant group was arrest-
ed on Wednesday, the FBI said.
A criminal complaint filed
in U.S. District Court in Ohio
charges Christopher Lee Cornell
with attempting to kill officers and
employees of the United States.
Cornell, also known as
Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, was
arrested as he took control of
a firearm during an under-
cover FBI operation in south-
western Ohio, the FBI said.
The public was never in dan-
ger in the investigation, said
John Barrios, acting special
agent in charge of the FBI’s
Cincinnati division.
A phone message and an
email were left Wednesday
for attorney Karen Savir, a
federal public defender listed
in court records as Cornell’s
attorney. A working phone
number could not be found
for Cornell’s family members.
186,232 Ohioans signed up for coverage
through the Health Insurance Marketplace
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
Today marks the second Open Enrollment dead-
line for the 2015 Health Insurance Marketplace.
For coverage starting on Feb. 1, it is important for
people to sign-up now.
“As of Jan. 9, 186,232 Ohioans have access
to quality, affordable health coverage for 2015
through the Health Insurance Marketplace,”
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said. “There are just
over four weeks before the Feb. 15 deadline and
the end of Open Enrollment. For those who are
thinking about getting health coverage, take a look
at your options on HealthCare.gov or contact the
call center. If you don’t enroll by Feb. 15, then
you may have to wait until next year to sign up for
affordable coverage. In the first month, 85 percent
of Ohio consumers who signed up were eligible for
financial assistance.”
Since Open Enrollment began on Nov. 15,
nearly 6.8 million consumers selected a plan or
were automatically re-enrolled in the Federally
Facilitated Marketplace. As we near this week’s
deadline, officials from HHS are available for print,
radio and television interviews. Satellite TV inter-
views are also available.
To request an interview with an official from
HHS, email press@cms.hhs.gov.
Five facts for consumers as we near the second
open enrollment deadline:
Deadline is fast approaching. Open enrollment
is ending soon. The deadline to apply for cover-
age starting on Feb. 1 is today. The final Open
Enrollment deadline to sign up for 2015 coverage
is Feb. 15. If people miss that deadline, they will
likely have to wait to sign up for coverage until the
next open enrollment season, with coverage start-
ing in 2016.
Enrolling in coverage is easier than ever. This
year, the consumer experience at HealthCare.gov
simpler, faster, and more intuitive. It is easy to
shop; no log-in or application is required to see the
plans in your area and find out how much financial
help may be available. We streamlined this year’s
application, reducing the number of screens people
need to click through from 76 to 16. And you can
even apply on your smartphone.
More choices are available this year. More than
90 percent of consumers will be able to choose

AGRIBUSINESS

Test your corn knowledge with a quiz
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension
Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
Dr. Peter Thomison, OSU Extension
Corn Specialist, gave an interesting
presentation on several popular corn
production practices. Some are myths;
some are not. Take the quiz and see how
you fare.
Does fall applied nitrogen (N)
break down corn stalks faster?
Actually, due to a lack of heat and
moisture, fall applied N may not be
that helpful. Tillage does not really help
either until next spring when the tem-
peratures warm up and the microbes
start working. Most corn varieties are
planted at a higher plant population
now to increase yields and they have
more lignin in them to resist lodging.
One solution is to plant earlier matur-
ing corn varieties because they are
harvested earlier and the soil should be
warmer when they are harvested. Most
corn stalks are broken down by fungus
which grow better under warm moist
soil conditions.
Bt(GMO) corn residues break
down slower than conventional non-
GMO corn?
Universities studies for several years
have found no difference because they
break down at the same rate. Due to
higher corn populations, it may appear
that stalks are breaking down slower but
there may be just more corn residue on
these fields.
Fixed corn varieties (racehorse,
high yielding, determinate) and flex-
ible (workhorse, stable yields, indeter-
minate) respond differently to envi-
ronmental stresses?
Uncertain. Flexible corn varieties
were thought to produce a good yield
each year no matter what the environ-
mental conditions, while fixed varieties
were thought to have superior corn genes
for optimal production. Researchers can
sort corn varieties based on these char-
acteristics but the environment changes
so much from year to year, the varieties
respond differently (even if conditions
are somewhat similar), so yield produc-
tion is complicated. Fixed and flexible
corn varieties do exist but we are not
sure under what environmental condi-
tions. About 70 percent of corn hybrids
are considered flexible and not necessar-
ily fixed, according to one study.
Corn hybrids differ in their
response to nitrogen?
The answer is there is not much
research to support that statement. The
earliest studies compared 100-day corn
to 114-day maturing corn and did find
a slight difference but that was relat-
ed more to plant maturity, timing of
summer precipitation and overall plant
health. Most research shows the major-
ity of the corn hybrids need the same
amount of nitrogen.
Full season corn or late maturing
corn yields more than short season or
early maturing corn?
Not really because it depends on
summer rainfall and environmental con-
ditions. In fact, the last three out of five
years, early maturing did just as well or
better than late maturing corn varieties.
However, there may be a limit. Corn
varieties less than 100-days maturity
and over 114 days do not do as well
as varieties that are between 100-114
days, which may be the optimal range
for Ohio environmental conditions.
However, short season or early maturing
corn may be more profitable because
they have 3-5 points less moisture, they
dry down easier and they are cheaper
to dry in early fall because the air tem-
perature is warmer, and there may be
premiums for early harvest.
Higher corn plant populations
require more nitrogen?
No, not really again; they just require
more moisture to produce higher yields.
Optimal nitrogen rate is the same for
both low and high populations, accord-
ing to numerous research trials.
Picket fence corn stands improve
corn yields?
Maybe somewhat but optimal stands
are not as important as uniform germina-
tion. Again, uneven corn spacing (1-3
percent yield loss) is not as important
as uneven emergence (5-7 percent yield
loss).
Narrow rows increase yields?
In Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota and Canada, the answer is yes
but not so much in Ohio due to day
length. Thirty-inch rows produce as
much as 15-inch corn rows and even
twin rows until the corn population gets
above 50,000.
Does increased seeding rate based
on spatial variability (difference in
soil type or soil conditions) increase
corn profits?
The answer is uncertain because we
do not know yet. About 74 percent of the
time, the optimal corn populations was
achieved between 28,000 and 35,000
corn plants per acre.
Plant shallow (<1 inch) for early
corn planting?
No, do not plant shallower than 1.5
inches deep. The optimal depth is 1.5 to
3 inches for optimal corn root growth. If
you plant shallow, corn tends to lodge,
be shorter and tends to emerge much
later if a dry spell occurs and yields
much less.

5 things: Many back labeling
of genetically modified foods
BY MARY CLARE
JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Two-
thirds of Americans support
labeling of genetically modi-
fied ingredients on food pack-
ages, even if they may not
read them, according to an
Associated Press-GfK poll.
Fewer Americans say
genetically modified ingredi-
ents are important in judging
whether a food is healthy.
About 4 in 10 said the pres-
ence of such ingredients was
very or extremely important.
“If they are cheaper and
they taste right to me, I’ll
buy it,” says Jay Jaffe, of
Philadelphia, who strongly
supports labeling.
Five things to know about
Americans’ support for label-
ing of genetically modified
ingredients:
IT’S ABOUT MORE
THAN JUST GMOs
Genetically modified
organisms are foods grown
from seeds engineered in labs.
Jaffe says he has no problem
buying GMOs, but he thinks
there should be accountability
in the food industry.
“It should be there and
not in small print,” he said of
GMO labels. “People should
be able to make a choice.”
Genetically modified seeds
are engineered to have cer-
tain traits, such as resistance
to herbicides or certain plant
diseases. Most of the coun-
labeling requirement. Half of
those people are neutral.
SUPPORT CUTS
ACROSS GROUPS
Public support for labeling
GMOs was bipartisan, with
71 percent of Democrats and
64 percent of Republicans
favoring labeling. Among
conservative Republicans,
more than 6 in 10 favor a
labeling requirement.
Fifty-six percent of
Americans under 30 favor a
labeling requirement — the
lowest of any age group.
Among that age group, 8 per-
cent oppose labeling, though,
with most of the remainder
saying they are neutral.
STATE LABELING
EFFORTS ARE MIXED
Despite the wide public
support, many state efforts
have faltered as the food
industry and seed companies
like Monsanto have aggres-
sively fought attempts to
force labeling. Ballot ini-
tiatives to require labeling
were narrowly defeated in
California, Washington and
Oregon in recent years.
Vermont became the first
state to require labels for
genetically modified foods
last year, passing a law in May
that will take effect in 2016
if it survives legal challeng-
es. Maine and Connecticut
passed laws before Vermont,
but those measures don’t take
effect unless neighboring
states follow suit.

Sara Says ....
by Sara Berelsman
I finally read Gone Girl. I’d been hearing
people talk about it forever; I just never had
the motivation to start. Once I started reading
it, I couldn’t stop. I was up until the wee hours
of the morning devouring it. Every chapter
end was a cliffhanger, and the author, Gillian
Flynn, uses vividly descriptive, although
understandable and conversational language.
I’m generally not a mystery
reader, since high school and
my Mary Higgins Clark days,
anyway, but I was intrigued by
the premise, plus I really want
to see the movie, which came
out on DVD, and I wanted to
read the book first. It’s hard to

Torre recalled he was 16 years old when
he first met Selig, who owned a car dealer-
ship and had provided a car for Torre’s older
brother, Frank, who played at the time for the
Milwaukee Braves.
Selig became a part-owner of the Braves
but sold his interest when the team moved to
Atlanta.
“Probably the toughest time in our rela-
tionship was me as a young kid, at 24 and
25,” Torre said, “when we were moving to
Atlanta and had to stay (in Milwaukee) for
the ‘65 season.”
When the Seattle Pilots relocated to
Milwaukee, they were awarded to Selig and
his investors in bankruptcy court just before
the 1970 season and the team was renamed
the Brewers.
Selig was still the Brewers’ principal
owner when he helped lead the group that
forced Commissioner Fay Vincent’s resigna-
tion in 1992. Selig was voted chairman of
the executive council, becoming baseball’s
top official, and repeatedly said he wouldn’t
become commissioner. When he was elected
commissioner in 1998, he transferred control
of the team to daughter Wendy Selig-Prieb.
Selig’s family sold the Brewers to Mark
Attanasio in 2005.
Pirates bringing infielder Kang in for
physical
PITTSBURGH — Korean infielder Jung-
ho Kang is on his way to Pittsburgh to finalize
a deal with the Pirates.
The 27-year-old Kang flew to Pittsburgh
on Wednesday and is expected to undergo a
physical today. Barring a setback, he will join
the team by the weekend, giving them some
needed depth — and potentially — more in
the middle infield.
The Pirates bid more than $5 million to
negotiate with Kang and have spent the last
month working out the details. Kang hit .356
with 40 home runs for the Nexen Heroes last
season.
His presence would give Pittsburgh flex-
ibility and possibly some needed offensive
punch. Jordy Mercer will begin spring train-
ing as the starting shortstop and second base-
man Neil Walker is coming off a career-high
23 home runs in 2014.
Stubbs, Lyles, Chatwood agree to deals
with Rockies
DENVER — Outfielder Drew Stubbs
and right-handers Jordan Lyles and Tyler
Chatwood avoided arbitration by agreeing to
contracts with the Colorado Rockies.
Stubbs gets $5,825,000 under Wednesday’s
1-year agreement and Lyles receives
$2,475,000 under his 1-year deal. Both are
not guaranteed.
Chatwood, recovering from Tommy John
surgery, gets a guaranteed $2 million, 2-year
deal that pays $1 million annually. He can
make $250,000 more in 2016 in bonuses
based on starts.
