Kentucky Sorghum: Sugarcane Aphids Make an Appearance
The sugarcane aphid (SCA) was spotted in Kentucky last week in Fayette and Monroe Counties on sweet sorghum. This invasive pest can cause up to 100% crop loss if left untreated on grain, forage, and sweet sorghum. SCA cannot survive Kentucky winters and migrates from southern Texas every summer. While low numbers of this aphid were found last week, their presence in southern and central Kentucky indicates that SCA is likely present in many Kentucky counties already.
Kentucky Sorghum: Sugarcane Aphids Found in Woodford County
Last week, the first sugarcane aphids (SCA) of the year for Kentucky were found in Woodford County on sweet sorghum. While only 5% of the leaves in the field were infested, some had over 700 SCA, meaning SCA has likely been in Kentucky for at least 2 weeks. SCA cannot survive winters north of southern Texas and must re-colonize Kentucky each year. SCA can be identified by their black tail pipes and antenna.

Further simplifying servicing models for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
In our announcement earlier in May, we introduced a Convenience Rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and a shift to monthly rollups of non-security updates for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1. Based on your feedback, today we’re announcing some new changes for servicing Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1.

Making upgrading to Windows 10 simpler with Windows Upgrade Analytics
Windows 10 is off to a very fast start, with most organizations already piloting and deploying the new operating system. One of the main concerns with any new operating system is compatibility with existing apps and web pages, and feedback from customers on Windows 10 compatibility has been extremely positive, with early customers reporting compatibility rates above 99%.
Introducing Windows Information Protection
With Windows 10 we made it a goal to make security one of the biggest benefits and one of the most compelling reasons to migrate from Windows 7. As you may have seen in our blogs released earlier today, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update continues to make big investments across our key pillars of security, which include identity protection, threat resistance, and information protection.
Extending the capabilities of Windows Hello
Our customers face many security related challenges, but one of the biggest is related to your users’ identities. They’re getting stolen and misused at unprecedented levels, and if we look back at the recent breaches, you can see how devastating the impact can be when user identities and credentials, like user names and passwords, or derived credentials, like NTLM Hashes, fall into the wrong hands. When we defined the plan for Windows 10, addressing this problem was one of our biggest priorities.
Step Change in Security with Modern Devices and Architecture
Prior to Windows 10, we lived in a world where desktop operating system security, whether it was with Linux, OSX, or even Windows was built almost entirely from software. The challenge we faced with this approach was that if malware or an attacker gained enough privilege, could get in-between the hardware and the operating system, or they managed to tamper with the device’s firmware components, they could also find ways to hide from the platform and the rest of your security related defenses.
