At Yoga Fit, we are not just about the physical benefits of yoga - such as flexibility, strength, and balance. Fitness is about the whole of you - body, mind and spirit. We are dedicated to working not only on teaching yoga practice but also relaxation, mediation and the right nutrition.
The benefits can be felt immediately - reducing stress, becoming in touch with your body, taking time out to relax. The beauty of yoga is feeling the peace that comes from harmonising your body, mind and spirit.
My style of yoga is Vinyasa flow yoga which offers a beautiful flow of movements combined with breath which enables the body to stretch, open and strengthen. It allows for everyone to feel a sense of flow whether they are complete beginners or advanced yogi. Every class offers something different and will never be the same but will always have some movement into asana(postures), pranayama(breathing exercises), meditation and svasana(relaxation).

Crunchyroll Announces Original Manga Program, Starting With Hiroyuki Takahashi's 'Hypersonic Music Club'
Hey, have you heard about these "Internet Webbed-Comics"? They're like comic books, but on the Information Super-Highway, and they seem to be all the rage with the kids these days. So much so, in fact, that Crunchyroll is hoping that holds true for their new line of original manga, which is set to kick off with Hiroyuki Takahashi and Patrick Macias' Hypersonic Music Club.
Set to launch this Friday, January 30, Hypersonic Music Club will tell the story of "a group of young cyborgs [who] must battle the extra-dimensional monster girls for final control of the enigmatic force known only as…The Mystery Frequency," and that's exactly the combination of manga weirdness and Jack Kirby bombast that gets me interested in checking it out. I mean, really: You had me at extra-dimensional monster girls.

Carlos Arroyo RumorsAll NBA Players
Carlos Arroyo
Position: None
Born: 07/30/79
Height: 6-2 / 1.88
Weight:201 lbs. / 91.6 kg.
Born: 07/30/79
Height: 6-2 / 1.88
Weight:201 lbs. / 91.6 kg.
David 'Dubi' Pick: Carlos Arroyo is signing with Cangrejeros De Santurce in Puerto Rico, his agent confirmed.
David 'Dubi' Pick: Hearing that Carlos Arroyo is headed home, mulling over playing in Puerto Rico or retirement. Still loves the game.
Arroyo: We have the same example with me at the Miami Heat. I had LeBron, Wade and Boss to give the ball. Can Arroyo be the real Arroyo in a situation like that? No, he can't. He has to be a distributor for all that players. This is a very very tough situation for guys who are used to be the elite players in their teams. Spanoulis wasn't respected that much at Houston. But, you know Spanoulis wasn't Spanoulis at Houston! This was the case.
Carlos Arroyo on the NBA: "It's not only about me. You know when I was playing in the NBA I was always following Euroleague cause of my FIBA attachment and the National Team. So I knew who Spanoulis was. If I remember well It was like 2006. I was playing at Orlando. Spanoulis has landed at the Houston Rockets and he had a tough coach, Jeff Van Gundy. It was easy for me to see that this guy wasn't his self on the court. He wasn't happy man. I remember talking with him about this. That they tried to control your game.
Have you heard from teams this summer? Carlos Arroyo: Well, no serious interest. I don't know what to say. The basketball world knows that I play for a team in Turkey, at least for the next year. I've always had an NBA out option, but this is a new contract. If I leave the team, it will be through a buyout.
Is returning to the NBA something that appeals to you? Carlos Arroyo: I know my age plays against me, I'm 35. If the opportunity arises, I will consider it. We're talking about the best league. Right now I'm focused on Galatasaray, but if something comes out after the tournament I will consider it.
02 Sep 14
Carlos Arroyo's FIBA World Cup is likely be over after two games. The point guard of Puerto Rico sprained his ankle in the loss to Senegal and was taken to hospital. Puerto Rico head coach said Arroyo will have further investigations in the hospital but his World Cup seems to be over.
Emiliano Carchia: Puerto Rico point guard Carlos Arroyo taken to the hospital to evaluate his foot injury according to @crosarosa
If there's anything mysterious or remotely controversial, it would be Stockton's description of "a stubborn undertow of friction" during his final season of 2002-03, when his teammates — not named — included Carlos Arroyo, Mark Jackson and DeShawn Stevenson. In Friday's news conference, Stockton said that subject was worth discussing mainly because of how he chose not to address it at the time, which played into his decision to retire at age 41. In turn, he angered his wife and Malone by making his brief announcement the day after a first-round playoff series against Sacramento, rather than telling them first.
Walker Russell has signed a one month contract with Turkish giants Galatasaray. The point-guard, who has last played in Venezuela, has been signed for the absences of Carlos Arroyo, Sinan Guler, Engin Atsur and Ender Arslan, who have to play for their national basketball team.
Puerto Rico drew Brazil for their first game of the tournament, making it a matchup of the top two teams in the tournament and a likely preview of the eventual championship game. The game lived up to its billing, too, considering the score was 62-61 with 2:28 left in the game before Renaldo Balkman rattled off five straight points to help his country score an eventual 72-65 victory. Balkman, the Knicks' first-round pick in 2006, scored 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked four shots while playing 37 of the game's 40 minutes — and he didn't even choke a teammate in the process. Former Boston University standout John Holland added 15 points and nine rebounds while Minnesota Timberwolves dynamo J.J. Barea struggled to 12 points on 11 shot attempts, committing four turnovers in the process. Other notables on the Puerto Rican squad include Carlos Arroyo (7 points, 2-of-9 shooting), Ricky Sanchez (four points, four rebounds and four fouls) and former USC star — and current 36-year-old chucker — Larry Ayuso (two points, four fouls, five shots). The only NBA player on the Brazil roster is Utah Jazz draft pick Raul Neto because Nene, Tiago Splitter, Leandro Barbosa and Anderson Varejao all decided to sit this tournament out.
Sports Agency Interperformances denied to Sportando that Carlos Arroyo has reached already an agreement with Galatasaray to extend his contract with the team for one more season.
Cangrejeros de Santurce are the most active team on the market not only in Puerto Rico. The club hopes to sign Carlos Arroyo when he ends his season in Turkey with Galatasaray. "Carlos told me that he would love to play with us, but it depends on his season with Galatasaray" said Angelo Medina to El Nuevo Dia.
Coach Ataman confirmed the signing of Carlos Arroyo for Galatasaray. The coach said that Carlos Arroyo will play in the weekend against Hacettepe and in Eurocup next week against Unics Kazan.
Emiliano Carchia: Carlos Arroyo is practicing with Galatasaray and may make his debut in the weekend in the game against Hacettepe, @Ismail Senol reported
Besiktas and Galatasaray finally agreed on free-agent guard Carlos Arroyo's buy-out. Galatasaray will pay 420.000 USD to Besiktas. Abdullah Sozer of Besiktas confirmed the news to TrendBasket. "The deal is done. Galatasaray will pay 420.000 USD for Arroyo's buy-out." Sozer said to TrendBasket.
Galatasaray and Besiktas reached an agreement on Carlos Arroyo's buyout who is now close to joining Galatasaray for the season. Besiktas will get $400.000 from Galatasaray, as confirmed by Abdullah Sozer to Trendbasket.
Carlos Arroyo is close to joining Galatasaray and the deal may be finalized by tomorrow, a source close to the player told Sportando. The Puerto Rican PG spent last season in Turkey with Besiktas winning TBL and Eurochallenge.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa - It's been one week since a man fell to his death while working from top of the Mount Vernon Water Tower. We've learned tonight that OSHA or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is still investigating the incident.
State officials say they can't release any findings until the investigation is complete and the company under investigation has been notified. As that takes place, people are placing memorials for the 29-year-old man around the water tower. Flowers, balloons and even a baseball hat are scattered throughout Memorial Park. Mount Vernon Police say Winfred Davis, of Clinton, was working to paint the top of the tower when he fell.

The National Commission of Minorities (NCM) is searching for a "missing report" on the 2002 Gujarat riots after the retired IAS officer who was NCM secretary at the time claimed that her original submission, which she says was damning and recommended President's rule in the state, has vanished from the records.
The officer, Sarita J Das, had visited Gujarat with an NCM team after the riots. She got in touch with the panel about her report last August and an inquiry was ordered after it could not be traced.
Das told The Indian Express that she went looking for the report more than a decade after the riots as she wanted to set the record straight.
"I decided to approach the commission after I saw some news reports on television, quoting Narendra Modi as being heartbroken about the riots. This left me flabbergasted. My conscience hurt," Das said.
"But it was only after I went to the commission and saw the compendium on Gujarat 2002 brought out by the commission then that I realised that all traces of my report advocating President's rule had been wiped out of the commission's reports."
Minutes of a NCM meeting briefed by Das last August say the panel decided to order a formal internal inquiry to trace the missing documents as it felt the institutional memory of the commission had been rendered incomplete. The inquiry is yet to conclude.
"Initially the file itself could not be traced. After much effort when we found the file, Ms Das's report was not a part of it. Instead there was one by Mr Tarlochan Singh, which according to Ms Das is a thoroughly edited version of what she had submitted. There were some documents missing from the file. I had asked for an inquiry into the parts that were missing," said the then NCM chairman Wajahat Habibullah.
Singh, another former NCM chief, however, contested Das's claims and said bureaucrats are not authorised to make submissions.
"It's totally wrong. One should understand how the commission works. A bureaucrat has no role in formulation of such reports. The report is of the commission. How can a secretary of the commission – be it minorities, SC or ST – give a report?" he asked.
"She may have given inputs as secretary but the report has to be drafted by the commission. The final report is of the commission. A bureaucrat always gives inputs, as they assist the commission in drafting reports. Whatever she may have even written, the commission is not bound to include it as it is the decision of the members," Singh added.
"Why is she remembering all this after 10 years? May be there is some political …continued »

The Multilingual PC Directory Knowledge Computing, £19.95
A comprehensive list of software is useful for any education authority advisory service as we have to offer advice over such a wide field. On a first impression this book seems to have it all. This book is not only for computer buffs, but for anyone interested in using powerful word-processing facilities on a PC computer, or those that can run PC software. I liked the small inserts for language lovers to put a first-time reader at ease.
Most modern school computers can cope with European languages but good programs which use Asian languages, so necessary not only in Waltham Forest where I work but throughout Europe, are not so easy to obtain.

Have you heard the adage, "communication is the key to success in life?" As true as that has proven to be, when it comes to the business world, communication alone just doesn't cut it.
It isn't just about communicating the message effectively. Leaders and executives in particular also need to connect — to complement a message for it to have maximum impact, whether it is on customers or employees.
We humans are complex creatures. We have a need to be known, to be seen, and to be connected with. Great leaders strive to do exactly that instead of simply communicating their message. Do you want to secure greater engagement from your workforce? Do you want to build and retain a loyal, committed customer base? The answer lies in connecting with people.
SEE ALSO: Igniting your passion through emotional (and rational) commitment
Let's take a look at three effective ways to stop communicating and start connecting.
1. Prioritize face-to-face meetings
It's very easy to communicate your message through an email, but it's impossible to really connect. If you want to connect with your team or customers, face-to-face, Skype and Google Chat meetings are your best bet. Say you have to convey a change in policies to the workforce within the organization. While this could easily be done over email, doing so over a face-to-face chat can work wonders since it is more personal. For emerging leaders, this should become a practice, since employee engagement gets boosted significantly when your force experiences interaction on a more personal level.

I'm planning a trip to Buffalo in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping it will give me the opportunity to browse a US ham radio store instead of my usual Canadian fare.
I've tried Google and ARRL's search but I'm not making progress.
I found a couple on Google, but when I used Google street view to check them out, they were clearly operating out of residences, one of which looked like a shack (in the non-radio sense of the word).
Surely there must be a ham radio retail outlet in the Buffalo area.
Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations please?

The first time is never easy, especially if you have the word 'virgin' in your name. That was certainly the case for Virgin America, the new low-fares, high-service US carrier that either is or isn't affiliated with Richard Branson's Virgin airline and entertainment empire, depending on who's talking. It took the San Francisco-based carrier more than three years to get off the ground after Branson associates first proposed it, in large part because it was affiliates of UK-citizen Branson who proposed it back in June 2004. After rejigging its ownership to meet the US rules, Virgin America finally took off on Wednesday the Eighth of August on its first flights, in both directions between New York and San Francisco.
Indeed the first day's flight found weather was cloudy and generally unpleasant, much like the airline industry today. According to one journal that was on the scene, Virgin's chief executive, Fred Reid, was late, and a high-profile guest, TV comedian Steven Colbert, missed the inaugural flight.That didn't keep the airline from gaining plenty of free PR. One flyer was so eager to get on the first flight that he shelled out $5,400 in a charity auction for a coach seat that was priced at $138 for everyone else. Techies drooled over the carrier's new cabin interiors, including subdued lighting, in-flight entertainment at each seat and its hi-tech massaging seats for first-class flyers.
Most industry analysts note that the public thirst for low fares may be the same, but the old-fashioned airlines have brought their costs down dramatically over the years, and are now able to compete with the new kid. Virgin's base at San Francisco International (SFO) now has an array of low-fare carriers that it didn't a few years back, and the airports that Virgin plans to serve – SFO, LAX, New York JFK – are now among the nation's most congested and delay-plagued. And it is the generally unpleasant airport experience that is making it harder to win any kind of flyer loyalty, no matter how nice it is once a harried flyer gets on board.
Because any new airline needs to attract passengers with service levels as well as prices, it has to offer something different. It says it does with its on-board food and in-flight entertainment. Virgin calls its IFE system 'Red', after its trademark colours, and, uniquely among domestic carriers, offers intra-flight messaging, or instant messaging from one passenger to another. (Virgin Atlantic's IFE already does this). It will also let passengers in both first and coach download music and create their own playlists from a 3,000-song archive. A real-time payment system will let Virgin America economy-class flyers order and buy meals on board. Whether these features – perks to some flyers, gimmicks to others – are enough to establish a brand is the question. JetBlue, which faces the greatest exposure to the new airline, is not worried and says it has seven years of brand loyalty built up.

The recent cycling fatalities, and the realisation that pedestrians appear to be in even more danger than cyclists on London's roads got us wondering what needs to be done to make conditions better.
First, though, we need to go back in time. Despite the intervention of two world war bombing campaigns, an underground tube network and the Great Fire, the layout of much of central London hasn't really changed since Georgian, or even medieval times. This means narrow streets, lots of buildings of historical importance and not much room for maneouvre.
The city's roads and layout have evolved over hundreds of years, but the demand for further change is happening much faster than that. Five years ago, London didn't have cycle superhighways. Two years ago London didn't have segregated cycleways. Yet barely a day goes past without a new demand that London's roads 'must change'. And change right now.
So what's to be done?
We could do what Amsterdam did in the post-war period and knock down a few buildings to widen the roads and turn public spaces into car parks. In fact, it's not unheard of in London either — Lower Thames Street and Regent Street were widened after demolishing the odd building. Let's face it though, it's likely to be costly and disruptive as well as upsetting those who appreciate heritage and architecture. It also won't necessarily solve the problem — the majority of recent fatalities have been on wider modern roads and junctions even where there is cycling provision.
Banning motor vehicles (apart from buses) is a popular option in some quarters, but there are a few practicalities to consider before we free up all that lovely road space and convert it into quaint cobbled streets (with smooth bits for the cyclists). TfL's annual report for 2012 suggests a net revenue of £139m from the congestion charge. Sure, it's a relatively small percentage of TfL's gross revenue but it's there nonetheless. And with only about 7% of commuting journeys into central London being done by private car, someone might want to think about what all those commercial vehicles are actually doing there and find alternative options for deliveries and construction traffic. See also: taxis.
Parts of the square mile are significantly worse than other areas of London — anyone who's tried to walk down Lombard Street in rush hour will find themselves hopping into the road on a regular basis. Bank junction is a cumbersome spaghetti of roads at which decades of fettling have led to no-one being favoured, not even motorists. The Bank Area strategy aims to pedestrianise Poultry and either Threadneedle Street or Cornhill to improve walking and cycling. Elsewhere, some schemes have attempted to separate pedestrians and traffic in two vertical layers, as we still see in the Barbican today and through the (now disappearing) Pedway. But while we're still keen on building upwards, we seem to have lost our vision for incorporating people into it.
Is this the way forward for improving London's roads and pavements? Pockets of pedestrianisation combined with re-purposing wider roads and footpaths to carve out decent spaces for pedestrians and cyclists too? It won't work everywhere but that's the problem faced by anyone trying to apply a one-size-fits-all solution — the diversity of what's there already. If it was that easy, someone would have done it before.
Cycling commissioner Andrew Gilligan points out that putting in 'panic measures' is just as bad as doing nothing at all, and makes some valuable points about the impact of banning HGVs and construction traffic:
What, I've asked many cycle activists, what is it you want us to do that we're not doing already? The usual answer is "do it quicker". But we can't simply slap in panic changes that might make cyclists safer at the expense of other people's safety. And if we're reducing roads' traffic capacity, as we are, we need changes over a far wider area to reduce vehicle numbers coming in to those roads.
The mayor's Roads Task Force wants to inject £30bn into London's roads to try and address the problems, but if we want the right solutions we may have to wait for them.
Here's an animation of what the future of urban transport might look like.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850:
The HD 5850 is a slower clocked HD 5870 and is reliant on fast GDDR5 memory to perform in the high-end segment. It is based on the Desktop HD 5770 chip but with a lower clock speed.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
720QM: The Core i7-720QM is the slowes Core i7 Quad Core in 2009 and clocks between 1.6 and 2.8 GHz (due to the Turbo Mode). Therefore, it combines the advantages of a slow quad core CPU with a fast single core one. Compared to the faster Core i7 mobile CPUs, the 720QM only features 6MB L3 Cache.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
4.6 kg: This laptop is heavy. Especially desktop replacements with 19 inch display fit in this class of weight. This class is too heavy, even for 17 inch DTR.
HP: The Hewlett-Packard Company, founded 1935, commonly referred to as HP, is a technology corporation headquartered in California, United States. HP specializes in developing and manufacturing computing, storage, and networking hardware, software and services. Major product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices, as well as a diverse range of printers and other imaging products. Other product lines, including electronic test equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment, solid state components and instrumentation for chemical analysis. HP posted US $91.7 billion in annual revenue in 2006, making it the world's largest technology vendor in terms of sales. In 2007 the revenue was $104 billion, making HP the first IT company in history to report revenues exceeding $100 billion.

Tips • Techniques • Know-Hows • Glossary
What You Need
Step 1
For Over-Easy or Over-Hard Eggs: HEAT 2 tsp. butter in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 2
BREAK eggs and SLIP into pan, 1 at a time. IMMEDIATELY reduce heat to low.
Step 3
COOK SLOWLY until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. SLIDE turner under each egg and carefully FLIP it over in pan. COOK second side to desired doneness. SPRINKLE with salt and pepper. SERVE immediately.
For Basted Eggs: COOK as for Over-Easy or Over-Hard Eggs, but use 2 Tbsp. butter. COOK until edges turn white. Begin BASTING eggs with butter from pan. COVER pan between bastings and CONTINUE COOKING until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
For Steam-Basted Eggs: COOK as for Over-Easy or Over-Hard Eggs, but use 1 tsp. butter or a light coating of cooking spray. COOK until edges turn white. ADD 1 tsp. water to pan. Cover pan tightly. CONTINUE COOKING until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
Serve fried eggs for breakfast, in a fried egg sandwich or on top of steaks, cheeseburgers or hash.
Kids especially get a kick out of Mexi Eggs-in-a-Hole , a unique version of fried eggs. You can also try Nacho Toad-in-the-Hole or the classic Cookie Cutter Toad-in-the-Hole.
Fresh eggs produce the best-looking fried-egg – a compact oval with a thick white and a high centered yolk.
For neater shape, break eggs into custard cup first, rather than directly into the pan. Hold cup close to surface of pan and slip egg from cup into pan.
Heat matters. If heat is too high, eggs will become tough and rubbery. Gentle heat preserves nutrients and allows for even cooking.

Against Valiants, he spaces four singles in career-high seven innings
MANSFIELD, Conn. - Sophomore righty Greg Porter (Mystic) scattered four singles over the first seven innings and sophomore second baseman Danny O'Connell (Braintree, MA) had two hits and drove in two runs as No. 15 ranked Eastern Connecticut State University won its sixth straight baseball game, 7-0, over Manhattanville College at the Eastern Baseball Stadium Wednesday night.
At right: Greg Porter
Porter (3-0) struck out seven without a walk and junior righty Matt Purnell (Stafford Springs) and senior righty Michael Hepple (Newington) completed Eastern's (22-6) second shutout of the season with one hitless inning apiece.
Eastern led 4-0 after three innings on the strength of O'Connell's first career home run - a two-run blast in the second - and an RBI single by senior leftfielder Steve Cammuso (Rutland, MA) and bases loaded walk in the third.
Sophomore DH Adam Roderick (West Hartford) had his team-leading 16th multiple-hit game of the year with a single and RBI double and sophomore rightfielder Mike Vaccarelli (Wolcott) also had two hits, scored a run and drove in one for Eastern.
In a career-high seven innings, Porter never allowed more than one hit in an inning. He surrendered a one-out single in the second, leadoff single in the third, two-out single in the fourth and one-out single in the seventh.
Sean Ferguson had two of Manhattanville's (12-15) hits.
Eastern hosts defending Little East Conference tournament champion Rhode Island College Saturday in a noon doubleheader.

Apple scab is an economically important disease resulting in direct loss from fruit or pedicel infections. Indirectly, repeated defoliation reduces tree growth and yield. Apple scab severity is inconsistent in the southeastern United States due to the necessity of cool, wet weather for infection.
Young leaf lesions are olive green with indistinct margins. As the infected leaf ages, several lesions may coalesce and tissues adjacent to lesions thicken, causing the leaf to become curled, dwarfed, or distorted (Fig. 1).
Fruit lesions are similar to those of leaves. As infected fruit enlarge, the lesions become brown and corky. Early-season infection may result in uneven fruit development, causing cracks in the skin and flesh (Fig. 2). Late-season infection may result in pinpoint scabs where circular lesions are rough and black.
Venturia inaequalis is the causal organism of apple scab. Pseudothecia, produced in overwintered leaves or fruit, are separate, dark brown to black in color, and spherical, with a short beak and distinct ostioles with single-celled bristles at the apex. Asci are fasciculate, cylindrical, short stipitate, eight spored, and have thin, bitunicate walls. Ascospores are yellowish green to tan and unequally two celled. Conidia are olive, have one or two cells, are ovate to lanceolate, and are produced sequentially by a series of abscission ridges on the conidiophore.
V. inaequalis overwinters in infected fruit and leaves on the ground. As infected fruit and leaves become wet, asci discharge ascospores, which are disseminated by the wind and initiate primary infections on new growth. Free moisture is required for the germination of ascospores on the new leaf or fruit. After initiation, germination continues as long as the relative humidity is 95% or greater. After fungal penetration of the cuticle, conidiophores and conidia are produced in a visible lesion. Conidia are then disseminated by rain and wind to new leaves and fruit, initiating a secondary infection cycle.
Removal of fallen leaves and fruit in the fall can reduce disease inoculum. Attention to weather forecasts, particularly those of extended wet periods, can assist in chemical control (Table 1).
Bitter rot is an important summer disease of apples grown in the southern United States. During periods of warm, moist weather, bitter rot can destroy an entire crop within a few weeks.
Fruit infections begin as small, circular, tan to light brown spots that expand rapidly under warm, moist conditions. As the lesion sinks into the fruit surface, it is covered with rings of spore masses that are creamy and salmon to pink in color (Fig. 3). The fruit may become soft and watery, developing a sour rot odor. The fruit dries and has a dark, leathery appearance.
The pathogen can form cankers on twigs and cause leaf spots. Although not as common, lesions on leaves start as small red flecks that enlarge to irregular brown spots. Severely infected leaves often abscise.
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (teleomorph Glomerella cingulata) is the causal organism of bitter rot. Acervuli are produced beneath the cuticle, which is ruptured by the growth of conidiophores and conidia. Conidia are uninucleate, vary in size and shape, and are produced in pink to salmon-colored sticky masses. Perithecia can be solitary or aggregated, dark brown to black, and vary in size and shape. Asci vary in size and are clavate to cylindrical; ascospores vary in size and are slightly curved and unicellular.
Fruit infection, through direct penetration or through wounds, is most common from midseason to late in the growing season. Lesion expansion is most rapid in warm weather (around 85°F). Prolonged warm, wet weather can lead to epidemics and extensive losses. A warm, wet early season can be the most severe because the primary infection provides abundant secondary inoculum.
Perithecia and acervuli of C. gloeosporioides survive from one season to the next in mummified apples, dead wood, and cankers. Mummified apples and stems left on the tree provide overwintering sites; mummified fruit on the ground can serve as a source of inoculum.
Management of bitter rot is based on sanitation and a fungicide spray program. Removal of mummified fruit, cankers, dead wood, and blighted branches from the previous season as well as throughout the current growing season removes potential inoculum sources. Removal of fruit infected with C. gloeosporioides during the growing season also helps slow the spread of disease.
No commercial cultivar is resistant to bitter rot to negate the need for sprays. For fungicide application details, see Table 1.
Black rot of apples occurs throughout the eastern United States but is most severe in the Southeast. Losses from the disease can be because of fruit rot, but losses can also be attributed to the weakening of trees due to limb cankers and leaf spot-induced defoliation.
Leaf lesions begin as small purple flecks that enlarge and develop a tan to brown center, giving a frog-eye appearance (Fig. 4). Heavily infected leaves may become chlorotic and abscise. Fruit symptoms from direct infection begin as minute red flecks that develop into raised purple spots bordered by a red ring. Upon fruit maturation, the lesions darken and enlarge (Fig. 5), often with alternating black and brown concentric rings.
Limb cankers begin as slightly sunken reddish-brown areas in the bark and can lead to a superficial hardening of the bark. Canker may also cause the wood to crack open and die. Fruit may develop rotting around the core, yet remain on the tree, ripening three to six weeks before harvest and often dropping before the rot appears on the surface.
Botryosphaeria obtusa (anamorph Sphaeropsis malorum) is the causal organism of black rot. Pycnidia, commonly found on infected wood and fruit, are globose, solitary or botryose, and stromatic with papillate ostioles. At maturity, conidia are nonsepate, ovoid, and melanized with a rough or faintly echinulate wall. Asci are bitunicate and eight spored; ascospores are fusiform and occasionally one septate. Pseudothecia are rare in the southeastern United States.
B. obtusa can survive between seasons in tree cankers and mummified apples, providing an early-season source of inoculum. Mummified apples, wounded bark, and fire-blighted twigs are rapidly colonized by B. obtusa and provide inoculum during the growing season. Conidia and ascospores are released from fruiting structures during rainfall throughout the year in the southern United States. Infection can occur through stomata of leaves or fruit (early season), and through wounds and cracks in the fruit cuticles (later season).
Throughout the season, blighted twigs should be removed to limit the colonization sites for B. obtusa. Mummified apples and dead wood should be pruned and removed from the orchard or burned. Black rot is best controlled through chemical applications (Table 1).
Botryosphaeria rot, also referred to as bot rot or white rot, has symptoms similar to black rot. This disease can have a severe impact in the southeastern United States. Extensive fruit losses (50%) have been reported, and cankers can cause the loss of scaffold limbs as well as tree death.
Fruit lesions begin as small, slightly sunken brown to tan spots, often surrounded by a red halo (halo may appear purple to black on red cultivars). The rotted area extends in a cylindrical manner to the core as the lesions expand in diameter (Fig. 6), forming a v-shaped lesion in cross section. This criterion can be used as a distinction between black rot and Botryosphaeria rot.
Limb and twig infections begin as small, sunken, oozing lesions, often red in color. The lesions enlarge, exhibiting rings of black pycnidia and bark loss (Fig. 7).
Botryosphaeria dothidea (anamorph Fusicoccum aesculi) is the causal organism of Botryosphaeria rot. Pycnidia, found on infected wood and fruit, are typically compound and spherical (153 X 197 µm). Conidia are non septate and hyaline. Ascostroma are solitary and scattered, botryose, ostiolate, and spherical. Asci are cylindrical, eight spored, and bitunicate; ascospores are hyaline, one celled, and ovoid.
Although ascospores and conidia are produced throughout the growing season in the southeastern United States, inoculum production is dependent on temperature (optimum 82°F–90°F), and number of spores released is dependent upon the amount and duration of rain. Infection by spores is most common through wounds in fruit, twigs, and limbs, although twig and limb infection is often associated with periods of hot, dry weather.
Mycelia, pycnidia, and pseudothecia of B. dothidea survive between seasons in cankers, colonized dead bark, and mummified fruit. B. dothidea can colonize in current-season mummified fruit and fire blight strikes to provide a secondary source of inoculum.
Dead limbs, cankers, and mummified fruit should be pruned and removed from the orchard. Current-season fire blight strikes should be removed to lessen colonization of B. dothidea. Limb and branch infections can also be reduced by irrigation during hot, dry periods. Timing for chemical control is determined based on the severity of Botryosphaeria rot in the area and whether early-season latent infections are common (Table 1).
Cercospora leaf spot is a minor foliar disease of apple that may cause early defoliation.
Lesions on infected leaves are round to oblong, often with a zonate appearance.
Pseudocercopsora mali is the causal organism of Cercospora leaf spot. Produced in clusters, conidiophores are dark in color, sparingly branched, and septate. Conidia are typically hyaline, long and slender, and septate.
Fallen infected leaves should be removed from the area and destroyed. See Table 1 for chemical control.
Crown gall affects woody and herbaceous plants from over 90 families, including apples grown for fruit production and ornamental use. Crown gall is variable in severity but gradually lowers tree vigor and may lead to tree death.
Galls, varying in size, form on the crown, roots, trunk, or limbs. The texture of a gall can range from soft and spongy to hard, depending on the amount of vascular tissue it contains. Careful diagnosis of smaller galls is important, as they may be confused with excessive callus growth around wound sites or with nematode or insect-induced galls.
The bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the causal organism of crown gall. It is a rod-shaped, gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacterium having one to six flagella. A large extrachromosomal piece of DNA, commonly referred to as a tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, is carried by A. tumefaciens.
Wounds are necessary to the infection process and initiation of the disease cycle. A. tumefaciens enters through a wound, attaches to a susceptible plant cell, and inserts transfer DNA (T-DNA) from the Ti plasmid into the plant cell chromosome. Expression of the T-DNA results in overproduction of plant hormones, which stimulates plant cells to divide, enlarge, and form a gall. The pathogen may move from galls to surrounding roots and soil, then disseminate to new plants or planting sites by rain, irrigation water, wind, insects, tools, and plant parts used for propagation.
Good cultural and sanitation practices are key deterrents to crown gall. These include choosing a rootstock with low susceptibility, budding rather than grafting, developing management practices that minimize wounding, removing young infected trees as well as older galled trees, and dipping shears in rubbing alcohol for 10–15 seconds between cuts. Planting sites where galled plants were grown should be left fallow for several years.
Effectiveness of chemical control through soil fumigation and rootstock dipping varies.
Fabrea leaf spot usually begins in early summer. In other references, this disease may be referred to as Entomosporium leaf spot.
Initially, leaf lesions appear as small, purplish, circular spots. Lesions become sunken with a raised dark purple to black border and a gray to white center. Within the center is a small, dark, mound-like fruiting body (acervulus).
Fabraea maculata/Entomosporium mespili is the causal organism of Fabrea leaf spot. Conidia have a distinct insect-like appearance and are composed of four cells (lateral cells smaller than central cells) and bristlelike appendages on all but the basal cells. Asci, which contain eight hyaline, clavate, two-celled ascospores, extend above the leaf cuticle surface when the ascospores are mature.
The fungus overwinters in infected leaves and twig cankers as ascospores and conidia. Rain and overhead irrigation spread the spores to susceptible tissue. Severity increases when wet springs follow mild winters.
Infected leaves and twigs should be removed from the area and destroyed by burial or composting and burning. Adequate spacing between rows and avoidance of overhead irrigation allow good airflow and rapid drying of the foliage. Chemical control may be difficult if primary leaf and twig infections are abundant (Table 1).
Fire blight is one of the most devastating bacterial diseases affecting apple, pear, and other rosaceous plants. This disease varies in severity from year to year, depending on temperature and precipitation. Additionally, fire-blighted wood can provide a suitable site for other diseases, such as black rot and white rot.
Plant parts affected by fire blight appear as if scorched by fire. Infected blossoms may exhibit ooze and change color from red to brown to black as the disease progresses. Infected leaves turn brown to black and desiccate but remain attached to the branches. Vegetative shoots often wilt and take on the shape of a shepherd's crook (Fig. 8), the pith of infected stems exhibiting a dark brown discoloration. The outer bark of infected branches and limbs is often sunken and darker than normal, whereas the inner tissues are water soaked with reddish streaks while the pathogen is active, later turning brown.
Fruit infected during the early season remain attached to the cluster base, yet remain small and appear shriveled and dark, whereas fruit infected as the disease progresses from the branches appear less shriveled and dark. Fruit infected following injury often develop red, brown, or black lesions and may exude an ooze that first appears clear or milky and later turns red to brown.
Erwinia amylovora is the causal organism of fire blight. The rod-shaped bacterium is gram negative and facultative anaerobic. Isolation and tentative identification can be made using several selective or differential media; rigorous identification requires additional biochemical and molecular testing.
E. amylovora overwinters in small twig cankers and dead wood to provide an initial source of inoculum early in the next season. Transferred by rain or insects, the bacterium penetrates host tissue at wounds or natural openings. Inoculum produced as ooze from fresh infections can serve as a secondary source of disease for later-season vegetative shoots, blossoms, and fruit. Lesion extension slows in late summer to autumn in response to less favorable conditions.
Severity of fire blight varies from season to season, dependent upon the interaction of a susceptible plant, a virulent pathogen, and favorable weather conditions. Plant susceptibility varies with plant age and horticultural practices employed; strains of E. amylovora vary in virulence toward plant genotypes. Weather conditions, particularly temperature and moisture, affect vector activity (primarily bees) and pathogen multiplication.
Overwintering cankers should be removed during the dormant season. Active lesions should be pruned out at least 6–8 inches below obvious discoloration. Pruning tools must be disinfected between cuts to reduce spread of the bacterium.
Susceptible cultivars and rootstocks should be avoided, as should the use of nitrogen fertilizers early in the season and during late-summer cultivation. There are forecasting models available to time chemical applications. Properly timed chemical applications can be highly effective against the blossom phase of fire blight (Table 1).
Flyspeck is a common disease of apple whereby fruit quality is lowered by fungal growth on the fruit surface. Due to the warm, moist weather prevalent in the southeastern United States, fungicide use is important.
Flyspeck colonies on fruit surfaces are well-defined groupings of shiny, black, superficial pseudothecia (Fig. 9). Colony size varies from 1–3 cm and from round to irregular. Conidiophores and conidia are produced within the colonies of pseudothecia during warm, moist weather.
Schizothyrium pomi (formerly Microthyriella rubi; anamorph Zygophiala jamaicensis) is the causal organism of flyspeck. Pseudothecia vary in size and have irregular margins. Embedded in centrum tissue, asci are spherical to oval and bitunicate, each ascus containing eight hyaline, two-celled ascospores. The upper cells of ascospores are shorter and wider than the basal cells. Conidiophores consist of a sub hyaline basal cell; a smooth, thick-walled, brown sector; an angular, subhyaline terminal cell; and two hyaline conidiogenous cells. Two-celled conidia are thin walled and elliptical to obovate.
S. pomi overwinters as pseudothecia on infected apple twigs and woody reservoir hosts. Airborne ascospores are released by the pseudothecia just prior to bloom and germinate from 60.8°F to 82.4°F. Under optimum conditions (63.1°F, relative humidity above 96%), conidia may be produced in 10–12 days. Airborne conidia are released after sunrise as the relative humidity declines and the twigs dry, providing the secondary inoculum.
During normal to dry weather, well-pruned trees usually have less disease. During wet seasons, well-pruned and poorly pruned trees may be equally diseased. Proper thinning of fruit can lessen the microclimate for disease development that tightly clustered fruit provide, and it also allows for thorough coverage of fungicide sprays, which are the primary means of control for flyspeck (Table 1).
Mushroom root rot is also known as Armillaria root rot, oak root fungus disease, and shoestring root rot.
Foliage may turn yellow, then brown, and dry rapidly. Dark brown to black rhizomorphs, or "shoestrings," appear at the soil line around the trunk of the tree. A creamy-white layer of fungus is often present between the bark and the wood. Honey-colored mushrooms may form in groups around the drip line of the tree or next to the trunk during moist periods.
Armillaria tabescens is the causal organism of mushroom root rot. Lacking an annulus on the stipe of the mushroom (basidiocarp), it is easily distinguished from other Armillaria species. Blackish, hardened mycelial extrusions are produced on the bark of infected roots.
In recently cleared woodlands (particularly that which had oak cover), rhizomorphs and mycelial strands of the fungus can remain on infected roots in the soil for many years, serving as an initial source of inoculum for new orchard trees. Rhizomorphs also spread between trees, attaching to the roots of a new host and entering through pressure and enzymatic activity.
The location of orchard plantings is important. New trees should not be planted in recently cleared woodland (particularly that which had oak cover), near existing stumps or buried debris, nor where trees have recently died from mushroom root rot unless the root system has been removed in its entirety and several years of fallow have passed. Soil fumigation can assist in control of mushroom root rot.
Pink limb blight is a common disease during warm, moist climatic conditions.
Pink limb blight produces a pale pink mycelium, which often encircles limbs, twigs, and trunks. The foliage distal from the affected area wilts and dies, eventually killing the limb or twig.
Erythricium salmonicolor (anamorph Necator decretus).
Infected tissue should be removed immediately by pruning limbs a minimum of 4–6 inches below the external appearance of mycelia on twigs. Pruned plant parts should be collected and destroyed.
A persistent disease, the severity of powdery mildew and resulting economic loss varies with environmental conditions, cultivar susceptibility, and management practices. Powdery mildew can be especially damaging in nursery production.
Infections on leaves first appear on the lower surface as grayish-white patches of mycelia and spores with chlorotic spots on the upper surface. Infections may spread to the upper surfaces, covering the entire leaf and eventually turning brown. Leaves infected along the margin may curl, while severely infected leaves may fold longitudinally, become brittle, and abscise.
Infected flower buds open five to eight days later than healthy buds and exhibit reduced fruit set; flower petals are distorted and pale yellow or light green. Apples affected during bloom are stunted in growth and covered with a network pattern of cork cells (russet) that may be so closely woven as to appear as a solid patch (Fig. 10).
Podosphaera leucotricha (anamorph Oidium farinosum) is the causal organism of powdery mildew on apple. Produced in long chains on thin, amphigenous mycelia, conidia are ellipsoidal, truncate, hyaline, and contain fibrosin bodies. Perithecia are densely gregarious and subglobulose with apical and basal appendages. Apical appendages are three to seven times longer than the diameter of the perithecia, brown basally, and widely spreading or erect fasticulate. Rudimentary basal appendages are pale brown, short tortuous, and simple or irregularly branched. Asci are oblong to subglobulose and contain eight ovate to elliptical ascospores.
P. leucotricha overwinters as mycelia in dormant buds infected during the previous growing season. Conidia produced on the mycelia serve as primary inoculum. Healthy buds often open earlier than infected buds, thus providing susceptible tissue upon conidia development. Limited germination occurs at high temperatures or in free water. High concentrations of spores are released in the air from midday to early afternoon. Infection of young or mechanically damaged leaves, blossoms, and fruit serve as a secondary source of inoculum.
Dormant-season pruning may remove infected buds and reduce the level of primary inoculum. During the growing season, severely infected shoots should be pruned and destroyed. Prevention of new spores and reduction of spores produced on new lesions may be accomplished through fungicide sprays (Table 1).
Several related rust fungi infect apple in the southeastern United States, including cedar apple rust, quince rust, and American hawthorn rust. These fungi involve two host plants in their life cycle, usually requiring a juniper species as an alternate host. The various fungi differ in life cycle complexity and whether they affect fruit, leaves, or both.
Cedar apple rust affects leaves, petioles, and fruit, beginning as small yellow lesions (upper surface of leaves), which may be surrounded by chlorotic halo or red band. Small orange-brown pustules (pycnia) develop within the lesions, producing watery orange drops. Later, yellow-brown lesions form on the undersurface of leaves and produce small, dark, tubular structures (aecia) that fracture to release red-brown spores (Fig. 11). Fruit lesions are usually superficial, causing a brown necrosis 1–5 mm into the flesh (Fig. 12). Cedar apple rust on alternate host juniper often forms a gelatinous horned gall (Fig. 13).
Quince rust does not affect apple leaves, but it does affect fruit. However, obvious rust symptoms (such as pycnia and aecia) are often not present. American hawthorn rust infects apple leaves but rarely infects fruit.
Various Gymnosporangium species are the causal organisms of rust on apple. Fungal structure morphologies vary between species.
On native cedars, Gymnosporangium species induce a gall from which telial horns emerge under wet conditions. During rains, telia swell and appear jellylike, releasing teliospores, which then germinate to produce basidiospores. Basidiospores are immediately discharged into the air and can travel more than a mile on air currents. Those landing on susceptible apple tissue may germinate and infect the host if a film of water is present for a suitable length of time. Aeciospores are later released from aecia during dry weather and may germinate and infect native cedars.
Removal of infected native cedars within close proximity may reduce infection pressure; however, elimination is unlikely as basidiospores can travel great distances. Rust disease can be effectively controlled by fungicide application (Table 1).
Sooty blotch is a late summer disease of apple whereby fruit quality is lowered by fungal growth on the fruit surface. Due to the warm, moist weather, fungicide use is essential in the southeastern United States.
Sooty blotch colonies appear as olive green, soot-like smudges on mature fruit. Large portions of the fruit surface may be covered by colonies due to secondary spread on the fruit (Fig. 14).
Gloeodes pomigena is the causal organism of sooty blotch. Produced in the thallus, pycnidia are dark brown, scattered or aggregate, and dimidiate. Conidia are variable in length and generally cigar shaped with slight constrictions at the point of septation. Spores in mass are cream to pinkish in color.
Sooty blotch survives between seasons as mycelia and pycnidia on infected twigs of apple and reservoir hosts (woody plants common to hedgerows and woodlots). Spores are released during spring and early summer rains. Infection can occur any time, but is most noticeable during late season. Mycelial growth is possible despite a lack of free water at relative humidity above 90%.
During normal to dry weather, well-pruned trees usually have less disease. During wet seasons, well-pruned and poorly pruned trees may be equally diseased. Proper thinning of fruit lessens the microclimate for disease development that tightly clustered fruit provide, and it also allows for thorough coverage of fungicide sprays, which are the primary means of control for sooty blotch (Table 1).
Southern blight occurs in orchards and nurseries on trees approximately three years old and younger. Due, in part, to the warm, humid weather, tree losses in some southeastern states have reached 30% due to this disease.
A coarse, white mycelial mat is often found at the base of an infected tree, progressing upward. Small, white sclerotia develop within the mycelium, later turning tan to brown. Leaves of an infected tree may exhibit a reddish or grayish purple discoloration, later drying and turning brown as the fungus girdles the crown and the tree dies.
Sclerotium rolfsii is the causal organism of southern blight. Grown on a wide range of media, the fungus produces white mycelia and reddish-brown to dark brown or tan, hard, round sclerotia. No asexual spores are produced.
Sclerotia are easily dislodged from mycelia and fall into soil, where they can survive for several years. Infection occurs directly through both injured and healthy bark. Warm summer temperatures (77°F–95°F), high soil moisture, good soil aeration, and plentiful organic debris promote a high incidence of disease.
Delay placement of apple trees where legumes or solanaceous crops have been grown until the area has been deep plowed, fallowed for a season, and fumigated.

TAIPEI, Taiwan—Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company premiered in Taiwan with an all-new program at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Taipei on Feb. 20. Chairman of Lee Long Enterprises Co. Ltd., Mr. Li Binghong, came to watch the show for the third time. "I feel very excited every year when watching Shen Yun, and it brings me a new understanding of life," the chairman said. He says that watching Shen Yun each year has become one of the things he looks forward to most.
"Every time I watch Shen Yun, I have different experiences and enlightenments. Shen Yun touches and excites people, and fills them with expectations!" Mr. Li said during intermission.
Talking about how he feels about the Shen Yun show this year, Mr. Li said, "It's a pure and natural feeling, and I enlightened that our mankind eventually has to return to its original true self, and to express the real side of people."
Mr. Li explained that the feelings of being natural from many scenes in Shen Yun's performance brought him the feeling of harmonization among humanity, Heaven and Earth. "When all these scenes are combined together, we can feel that humans are just in between, but there is another force behind us," he said.
Hr said that Shen Yun performances have given him understandings of his own career. Li Binghong has a long-term commitment to the process of crops food processing, and he insists that it should be toxic-free and natural. As a result, he was especially touched by the harmonization of the three realms in the Shen Yun performance.
After watching the show today, Mr. Li had the thought, "Yes, human beings were given birth by Heaven and Earth. If we look at things more attentively and make more efforts, maybe we will have the chance to return to our original true selves."
Li Binghong was very grateful that Shen Yun comes to Taiwan every year to demonstrate the divinely inspired Chinese culture, which is almost forgotten by people. "People nowadays are too busy to remember the fundamentals of being a human, the culture, and something deep inside our hearts. Shen Yun has awakened the long-forgotten memories, and made people feel the astonishing moment from the bottom of their hearts," he said.
He has watched Shen Yun three times and hopes that Shen Yun's inspiring performances can be appreciated by more people.
