[Colletotrichum cereale]
Anthracnose diseases are common and destructive problems in golf course putting greens established with creeping bentgrass or annual bluegrass. Anthracnose may develop as a foliar blight, in which the turfgrass leaves are infected, or a basal rot, which attacks the leaf sheaths, crowns, and stolons of the plant. Anthracnose symptoms are highly variable, appearing yellow to orange in color and in an irregular pattern, in small freckle-like spots, or in circular patches up to 1' in diameter. Symptoms are typically most severe in areas that are stressed from low mowing, excessive traffic, or inadequate irrigation or fertilization. On individual plants, symptoms first appear on the oldest leaves, which die back from the tip, and gradually progress to the younger leaves. Symptoms of anthracnose foliar blight will initially be limited to the leaves, with the crowns, leaf sheaths and stolons healthy. In the case of basal rot, the leaf sheaths, crowns, and stolons will be dark and rotten. The anthracnose pathogen produces spores inside of structures called acervuli, which are black, saucer-shaped pads with black spines (setae) protruding from them. These can be seen on the infected leaves (foliar blight) or basal tissues (basal rot) with a magnifying glass or small microscope.
Host Grass Species
creeping bentgrass, annual bluegrass
Month(s) with symptoms
May to September
Stand Symptoms
irregular distribution across turf stand or patches (4 to 12 inches)
Foliar Symptoms - Location/Shape
dieback from leaf tip, blighting of entire leaves
Foliar Symptoms - Color
yellow, orange, tan, red
Root/Crown Symptoms
none or roots, stolons, rhizomes, and/or crowns dark brown or black
Fungal Signs
acervuli with setae
Note: Still not sure if this is the right disease? The Turfgrass Disease Identification program may be helpful. Or consult the experts at the Turf Diagnostics Lab. Check the TurfFiles glossary for definitions of unfamiliar terms.
Greens established with annual bluegrass or susceptible varieties of creeping bentgrass can be attacked by anthracnose throughout the entire growing season. In creeping bentgrass putting greens, the basal rot form of the disease is most active during hot weather in the summer, whereas the foliar blight is most common during cool and cloudy conditions. The opposite is true on annual bluegrass, with the basal rot being most severe in cool, cloudy weather and the foliar blight more common during hot, dry weather.
Anthracnose diseases are stress-induced. Physiological stress from any source greatly encourages the development and spread of the disease. In golf course putting greens, the most common culprits are close mowing, drought stress, low fertility, excessive traffic, poor soil drainage, or excessive thatch/organic matter accumulations.
Because of its sensitivity to stress, annual bluegrass is much more susceptible to anthracnose than creeping bentgrass. However, creeping bentgrass varieties vary tremendously in their susceptibility to anthracnose as well. Older varieties, such as Penncross, Pennlinks, Dominant, Dominant Plus, L-93, and Crenshaw are susceptible to anthracnose, whereas the disease is rarely observed on modern varieties such as the Penn A and G series.
Because annual bluegrass is most susceptible to anthracnose, preventing this grassy weed from encroaching into putting greens is an effective way to manage anthracnose. Conversion of putting greens to newer, resistant varieties of creeping bentgrass will eliminate the problem in most circumstances.
Avoiding or alleviating physiological stress is another effective way to manage anthracnose. Raising mowing heights prior to and during periods of disease activity have been shown to reduce anthracnose development. Recent research at Rutgers University demonstrated that anthracnose severity was greatest in annual bluegrass mowed at 0.110", less at 0.125", and the least disease was observed at 0.150". Golf course superintendents should employ growth regulators and lightweight rollers to increase putting speeds in lieu of low mowing heights. When using sidewinder-type rollers, care must be taken to prevent scuffing and abrasion at the end of each pass, as this injury may encourage anthracnose activity.
Adequate fertilization and irrigation are also essential to anthracnose management. Deficiencies of any essential plant nutrient will slow turf growth and increase anthracnose development. Tissue samples should analyzed for nutrient content on a regular basis to ensure that all nutrients are present in adequate amounts. Irrigation should be applied frequently enough to prevent severe wilt and drought stress during the day.
Regular aerification and topdressing of putting greens is essential to preventing severe anthracnose problems. As a general rule of thumb, 15% to 20% of the putting green surface area should be impacted by hollow-tine aerification annually, and 5000 lbs/1000 ft2 of topdressing should be applied each year. Hollow-tine aeration should be performed during cool weather conditions when the turf is growing optimally. Solid-tining or spiking is recommended during stressful conditions to provide temporary channels for air and water movement through the soil profile. Topdressing applications during the summer should be light enough to water-in, as the wounding caused by dragging or brooming operations could cause a short-term increase in anthracnose activity.
Successful control of anthracnose with fungicides requires a preventative approach. Although the precise timing of infection is unknown, the anthracnose pathogen likely infects turf plants long before the symptoms appear. Where anthracnose has been a persistent problem, a preventative fungicide program should be in place throughout the growing season. In less severely affected sites, a preventative program should be implemented prior to the onset of summer stress and during extended periods of cool, cloudy weather.
The anthracnose pathogen can become resistant to certain fungicides very quickly. In a recent survey of C. cereale populations in North Carolina, all isolates were resistant to the benzimidazole fungicides, and most exhibited some level of resistance to the QoIs. Research at the University of California-Riverside has shown that DMI resistance is developing slowly in anthracnose populations as well. Golf course superintendents should tank-mix and rotate fungicide classes regularly to slow the development of resistance and reduce their reliance on a single fungicide chemistry.

Continual use of fungicides with similar control mechanisms (modes of action) can result in fungi that are resistant to some chemicals. Poor or ineffective disease control can be expected when this occurs. Managers can reduce the chances of this happening by mixing or alternating fungicides belonging to different chemical classes.
Recommendations of specific chemicals are based upon information on the manufacturer's label and performance in a limited number of trials. Because environmental conditions and methods of application may vary widely, performance of the chemical will not always conform to the safety and pest control standards indicated by experimental data. When more than one brand name exists for an agricultural chemical, the name of brand that first came onto the market is listed first. Otherwise, brand names are listed in alphabetical order. The order in which brand names are given is not an indication of a recommendation or criticism.
Recommendations for the use of agricultural chemicals are included in this publication as a convenience to the reader. The use of brand names and any mention or listing of commercial products or services does not imply endorsement by North Carolina State University or discrimination against similar products or services not mentioned. Other brand names may be labeled for use on turfgrasses. Individuals who use agricultural chemicals are responsible for ensuring that the intended use complies with current regulations and conforms to the product label.

INDIANAPOLIS Authorities are reporting damage to homes, downed power lines and uprooted trees as a tornado-producing storm moves across the Indianapolis area.
National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Ryan says the tornado struck Tuesday afternoon just southwest of Indianapolis but was no longer on the ground. He says the Hendricks County Emergency Management Agency reported that at least three homes sustained extensive damage.
The storm then headed into Indianapolis. City Public Safety Director Troy Riggs says emergency officials have received reports of damage to houses and trees with power lines down on the southwest side of the city.
The storm crossed the north side of Indianapolis and headed toward its northern suburbs.

Batrachotomus kupferzellensis is known only from late Ladinian deposits from a few fossil localities in the Hohenlohe region of the State of Baden Würtemberg in southwest Germany.
Map of Germany, indicating the Kupferzell-Bauersbach locality from where the type material of Batrachotomus kupferzellensis was collected © David Gower
The type locality of Kupferzell-Bauersbach is famous as a site of exceptional fossil preservation, or 'Lagerstätte'.
The site was discovered by fossil collector J G Wegele when the fossil beds were exposed in 1977 during construction of the autobahn between Nürnberg and Heilbronn. It has yielded a variety of exceptionally well-preserved fossil remains in addition to Batrachotomus kupferzellensis.
These specimens have helped scientists reconstruct a clear picture of the ecosystem in which this reptile lived.
Batrachotomus kupferzellensis was probably the top predator in its ecosystem, preying on perhaps freshwater amphibians and smaller land reptiles. It may have also scavenged carcasses.
The Ladinian fossil deposits of Kupferzell-Bauersbach have also yielded:
There is no direct evidence that Batrachotomus kupferzellensis preyed on any one of these animals, but it has large, serrated and blade-like teeth and probably tackled any prey it could catch.

Aaron Schaffhausen's trial is now in its second week.
Thirty-five-year-old Aaron Schaffhausen has pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but he maintains he is not responsible for the killings of 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie, and 5-year-old Cecilia because of a mental illness. The St. Croix County District Court trial is to determine his sanity.
Monday's witnesses included Roger Schaffhausen, the father of Aaron Schaffhausen; Suzanne Margaret Allen, the mother of Aaron Schaffhausen; and Dr. Ralph Baker, a medical expert.
Mental Evaluation
Dr. Ralph Baker, who is the court-appointed medical expert, was called by the defense to testify about Aaron Schaffhausen's sanity. According to his testimony, Baker has done more than 1,500 evaluations and has been hired by courts, prosecutors and defense teams.
Baker said he interviewed Aaron Schaffhausen for more than three hours, saying he was "cooperative and friendly" but that he "looked depressed, acted depressed and has a history of depression." He said Aaron Schaffhausen was very lucid and coherent and gave a "very good history" compared to a number of other people he's seen.
Baker had asked Aaron Schaffhausen to tell him about the day of the murders. According to Baker, Aaron Schaffhausen said, "It was a spur-of-the-moment thing." Baker said he looked "very depressed and sad and tearful" during that moment.
Baker then recounted Aaron Schaffhausen's account of the murders. Aaron Schaffhausen said he gave the girls money for their piggy banks and talked to them about his plan to drive them down to the river. Cecilia couldn't find her shoes, so Aaron Schaffhausen told Baker he was helping her look for them. The next thing he knew, he said he was strangling her.
When Aaron Schaffhausen went down to the kitchen, Amara and Sophie reportedly came back inside and he heard Cecilia crying, so he knew she wasn't dead. According to the testimony, he then went to the kitchen, got a knife, and cut the three girls' throats.
He reportedly told Baker he planned to light the house on fire but decided not to do it.
Baker testified that he believes Aaron Schaffhausen may have obsessive compulsive traits and that he was fixated on or obsessed with Jessica Schaffhausen.
"I think he was very connected to her and dependent on her," Baker said.
Baker said he found Aaron Schaffhausen had "major depressive disorder" but didn't find him to be not guilty by reason of insanity.
Roger Schaffhausen testified Aaron Schaffhausen was the second oldest of four children. He said his son was difficult as a child but fairly normal. He testified Aaron Schaffhausen had trouble sleeping, was more sensitive to touch, and wasn't as "cuddly" as his first son.
He also recalled an incident in third grade where Aaron Schaffhausen got scared and ran out of school, adding that his son was bullied in fourth grade because he was the new kid.
According to Allen, her son didn't interact well with others and didn't have many friends. She said he was "exceedingly smart" but a "challenge," adding that he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder in third grade.
When asked about mental illness in the family, Roger Schaffhausen said there wasn't any history that he knew of on his side of the family. As for his ex-wife's side, Roger Schaffhausen testified she was diagnosed as borderline manic depressive, saying that she took Lithium, which is commonly used as a psychiatric medication, when they were separated.
"Aaron suffered from mental illness probably his whole childhood," Allen testified. Allen said she's been depressed and that her mother and sisters all suffered from depression and anxiety.
In his teenage years, Roger Schaffhausen said his son was rebellious, belligerent and was difficult at home. He also said his son had some trouble with the law, saying he once stole a gun and brought it to school. Aaron Schaffhausen spent time in Lino Lakes Detention Center, was arrested for shoplifting, stole money from a neighbor and was expelled from school for gang-related reasons, his father said.
Roger Schaffhausen said they also got into a physical altercation once.
Roger and Aaron Schaffhausen's mother divorced when he was still in school. Allen said there were lots of disputes about money and that she was depressed much of the time during their marriage when Aaron Schaffhausen was a child.
She testified that Roger Schaffhausen never told Aaron Schaffhausen that he loved him and that it was hard for him to show affection.
Family Life
When Aaron Schaffhausen was in his 20s, Allen said he was energetic, talented, easy-going, and fun-loving, but there was always an "undercurrent of sadness."
Roger Schaffhausen said he had a much better relationship with his son as an adult. After Aaron Schaffhausen married, Roger Schaffhausen said he would see him for regular family events.
"It seemed like the marriage was going well; the kids were happy," he said.
He said he had no concerns about Aaron Schaffhausen being a parent and that "he would play with them, do coloring and play some games with the girls."
"He adored the children, and they loved him," Allen said, "He'd come home from work and the girls would run and scream, 'Daddy!' and jump in his arms. His face would just beam."
Roger Schaffhausen said his son showed the girls how to use a hammer when building a deck and showed them how he did his work. He was "very loving; he enjoyed their company, they enjoyed him," he said.
He also testified Aaron Schaffhausen enjoyed work and took pride in it.
Growing Concerns
Roger Schaffhausen said he grew concerned about Aaron Schaffhausen's well-being in November 2011. When Aaron Schaffhausen was in Minot, N.D., he wouldn't return phone calls and would sometimes disappear without the family knowing where he was, his father said.
A family meeting prompted them to go find him in Minot. He said Aaron Schaffhausen was having a difficult time but they believed he was "dealing with it."
The family didn't see him again until early January 2012 when the divorce was finalized with Jessica Schaffhausen.
Roger Schaffhausen talked about phone calls he received from Aaron Schaffhausen in January and February. He recalled one that came in around 2 a.m. "He was very despondent, depressed, and sounded like he was almost weeping," he testified.
"He wanted to do terrible things to Jessica's boyfriend and wanted to hurt the girls to show Jessica how much pain he was in," Roger Schaffhausen said. "He missed the girls, he missed the life that he had, and he wanted to get it back to how it was."
Roger Schaffhausen called them "demons in his head" and told Aaron Schaffhausen to get help. He said his son eventually stopped talking and hung up.
The next time Roger Schaffhausen said he saw his son was during a visit in March. "We wanted to just have a normal visit," he said. "We didn't press any issues on the phone calls."
He said if they pushed him, he would get upset and they wouldn't hear anything from him for a while. When things were going poorly, they would usually hear from Aaron Schaffhausen's ex-wife.
Roger Schaffhausen said there was little contact after March but thought "no news was good news." He first learned about the murders from Jessica Schaffhausen's mom.
Once the defense wraps up its case, the prosecution has 120 people on its list of witnesses.
There will also be security screenings for visitors and employees at the courthouse this week. A co-worker of Aaron Schaffhausen, identified as 31-year-old Joe Rollag, is charged with threatening a witness. He is also charged with possessing a switchblade knife, carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.

PINEY FLATS — What began as Bertha King Memorial Church more than 100 years ago has served as the home of many churches during the last century.
The beginnings of the church — which is now known as Rocky Springs Missionary Baptist Church — date back to the late 1880s when Nathan Gregg, a colonel in the Confederate army, and his wife, Catherine Morrell Gregg, donated their entire estate in order to build a church and a school across from one another in the Rocky Springs community. The church was established in 1906.
It was constructed in memory of the Greggs' great-niece, Bertha King, the oldest daughter of E.W. King and his wife, Alice.
Bertha King Memorial began as a Presbyterian church, and has changed its name throughout the years as many different denominations and church families have worshipped within its walls.
Despite sitting dormant for a short period of time in the 1960s, the church has remained active ever since it became Rocky Springs Missionary Baptist in the mid-1970s, according to Pastor Greg Lovelace.
While Rocky Springs has never had large numbers, Lovelace said the church has had steady membership during its time at the location.
That's quite the feat, according to Lovelace, who believes the church's long history has a lot to do with the strong faith of the people who have called it their home.
"I've heard people come in that just say they feel the spirit of God when they come in. It's a special place. It's a special place to preach in," he said.
Lovelace has been pastor of the church for about six years.
Another special aspect of being at Rocky Springs is its history.
For a church building that is 105 years old, it still looks much like it did when it was first built, save for renovations to the church's interior.
While the classrooms beyond the sanctuary were added on much later, the church still has its original flooring, roof, stained-glass windows and brick, according to Lovelace.
During the church's beginnings when it was a Presbyterian church, Lovelace said the congregation was so large, many people who attended weren't even able to sit in a pew.
"They used to have to raise the windows for people who would stand outside it was so full, and that's just beyond my comprehension," he said.
The congregation of Rocky Springs is made up of about 30 people, which Lovelace enjoys, although he does want to see the church grow.
"It's a good feeling that you can get to know your whole congregation instead of like at a super church where there's no way you can know everybody," he said. "It's a good church, and we want to grow like these other churches."
Lovelace said it's important to keep the church alive because of its ties to the Rocky Springs community.
"I think it's a very important part of the community, because it's so old and so many people either went here or they know about Rocky Springs," he said.
The church is located at 3297 Rocky Springs Road.
For more information, call Lovelace at 431-8037.

After a supposedly shocking reveal of a supposedly "incredibly sexy" photo (that turned out to be pretty tame, actually), Jenny was bounced from A Basement Affair. Below, she talks about the damning shot, her lack of a connection with Frank and how she's managed to go 23ish years without a boyfriend.
Did you ever think this picture would come back to haunt you?
No, because I didn't think it was a XXX explicit picture. I also didn't think that the show or even Frank would portray the picture as if I was nude by blurring it out. That was of course disheartening and it made me upset. They tried to make the viewers think that I am naked in a picture, which is completely false.
Obviously, the picture works as an explanation for your elimination much better when it's blurred out. Was it weird to be there live and have something so tame be used as damning evidence?
When Frank pulled the picture out, I was like, "Yeah, that's me in the picture, yeah I took a sexy picture." I wasn't like, "Oh my god you found out about me! You found out my dirty secret!" It wasn't a dirty secret. He saw the picture and said, "You are in your panties and bra and a T-shirt and you are being extra sexy. Why don't I see this girl?"
Did you see where he was coming from by sensing a contradiction?
I can see how he thought that I was being Miss Goody Two-Shoes and extra shy and quiet. I can understand how the picture is a shock to him, but I am a young woman. I am 23…ish and I feel like what is the big deal? It would be completely different if I was butt-booty-naked and he brought the picture out and I was pretending to be Little Miss Shy and Conservative. But on the show I never dressed conservative in sweaters and button up shirts. I'm young and sexy, and I felt like, "Where you are coming from with this?"
It seemed like you spent a lot of time talking about stepping it up, without actually ever doing so.
I was only in the house for five days. I wanted to get to know Frank and ask just general questions you would ask someone to get to know them. I didn't feel the need to jump on him when we are still getting to know each other. Yeah, I know it's a show and I know we have a limited time frame. But what if I don't like your personality? What if I don't like you? What if we don't click? Maybe I don't want to kiss you. Like I told him, you are going to remember my kisses because they are going to mean something more when I am into you mentally and physically.
So you never came around to being attracted to him?
I was attracted to Frank's body and it seemed he had a nice personality, but there wasn't enough time on the show for me to really want to kiss him and be up on him. There are 15 other girls in the house so it was difficult to get that alone time with him and when we did, I wanted to get to know him, not jump on top of him.
What do you think about the feedback from Frank's mother?
I can understand how she could feel as a parent. But when I am trying to get to know someone and I am in their parents' house, why is it wrong to behave like a young lady? I can take a sexy picture but that doesn't mean I'm going to be running around the house ripping my shirt off because that's what I did in the picture. I think she was a little bit harsh on me because ultimately we were in bikinis the night before.
Not to mention the Bikini Softball Challenge.
Exactly! What is the difference? We were sliding around soaking wet in bikinis. I feel like she was attacking me as if I am this horrible person for being basically in a bikini.
And obviously, your image does not necessarily reflect your behavior.
It doesn't. I feel like the picture doesn't define me as a person at all. There are plenty of celebrities who take nude pictures in Playboy all the time and they are still classy and they are still conservative and they stay true to themselves. Just because the picture is sexy doesn't mean I can't be classy. Frank's mom just seemed like a very mean person. The things she said to girls in the house and the things she was saying to me as I was leaving were just rude and disrespectful.
You didn't seem to torn up in your exit interview, though.
I wasn't upset about leaving because we didn't connect besides him being attracted to me. I wasn't going to sit there and be fake. Maybe we didn't have enough time to get to know each other well enough for me to take it to that level. I was fine going home. I didn't want to waste his time.
How is it that you've never had a boyfriend?
Through high school and even a little during college, I wasn't a pretty girl. People would always tease me: "Oh you have dark skin, a big head, a big nose. You're ugly." People like Annie were my friends because they were weird and different. I kind of just did me. I didn't have any type of body. I was skinny with no boobs, no butt, no curves, nothing. When I got into college I started to come into my own and become a young woman. I was a late bloomer.
What about after you blossomed, though?
I was seeing a guy on and off through college it was long distance. He was seeing other girls and doing his own thing and I really cared about him. We never made it official because of the distance and once I came back home from college I could never trust him. I guess that made me a little guarded. Maybe I don't want to get my heart broken by a man. I have a lot of girlfriends who have been in physically abusive relationships so I am scared to get in a relationship. I do want to find love and I do want to be happy and I do want to get married and have babies. I guess I have to stop being so scared.
The obvious question, then, is why start looking for love on reality TV?
Frank also mentioned that. Why not? It's a dating show. What better place to try to find my first boyfriend than on TV?
Were you interested in the exposure that comes along with reality TV?
I have always been a fan of reality television. I even did my senior exit paper on reality television in college. Of course everyone knows you are going to get exposure because of being on reality T, but I wanted to do it because it was fun. I'm working 9 to 5 and I'm tired doing the same thing day in and do out. So why not go on a reality television show? Why not find your first man on TV? Why not?
Well, because something could happen that leaves you dissatisfied with your portrayal.
Yeah, there is a risk of lies.
Are you happy you did the show?
I am. It was fun. I got to meet a lot of great girls and I had a great time. It was great experience and I would do it again.
What do you think of Frank today?
Up until maybe a week ago, I thought Frank was a decent guy. I actually reached out to him and called him and we spoke for about three hours talking about all different types of things. Then I find out he's completely crazy. I guess it was the episode where I said something like Frank has to work for me too aired, and so he got angry with me talking all fast: "What the f*** do you think this is? This is my show, you just want exposure!" He's completely different from how he is on the show. On the show he seems like a nice guy and a gentleman. The truth will come out soon enough when the other girls can express how crazy he is as well.

Friday night at Johnny Brenda's, the Philadelphia-based electro tribe Grandchildren celebrated the release of their new album, Golden Age, which cloaked in green lasers and thick fog. They take the party to Brooklyn next week and, on May 25, reunite in Baltimore with Man Man, with whom they toured in 2011 and whose drummer, Chris Powell, produced Golden Age, alongside Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog).
The artful psych/pop group came together at the storied Danger Danger house in West Philly, where they all lived at one point or another, making music and memories. Having first formed in 2005 around frontman Aleks Martray, Roman Salcic, Russell Brodie and Tristan Palazzolo, the Grandchildren lineup grew to include Adam Katz and John Vogel, and together, they achieve a thick pop-orchestral sound, not too far from Animal Collective or a tamer, more restrained Of Montreal. Grandchildren concern themselves with pushing their instruments, until their individual sounds are completely indecipherable. It's more about letting the carefully layered sounds breathe, while constantly evolving to do more with less.
"Sunrise" opens Golden Age with a morning stretch of warming ooh's and vibraphone tappings, then synthy swirls surrounded by a slow-building thunder. A dense echo of ambient falsetto pours in, the fuzzy guitars awaken, ready to fill your ears with mysterious instrumentation for eight more smartly produced songs. On the LP's standout cut, "No Way Out," the bass lolls around while the synth strolls in, and a trumpeted explosion leads to a hypnotizing tale about love as a trap. A reverbed acoustic guitar slides you into the next track, "Where's the Knife," and soon you're on a ride through densely packed vocal harmonies, booming percussive sounds and twisty guitars, with a lyrical reminder that it can be a cold, dark world, and you might need something sharp.
Grandchildren is great at writing haunting yet still-sunny pop songs that hide the occasionally apocalyptic viewpoint beneath their sprawl. But mentions of destruction and death emerge with a smile, almost as a reminder that, yes, this is what we have to deal with as humans. And we got this.

You may ask – "What's important when searching for that complex, clean, crisp, fully infused, flavorful cup of coffee?" Certainly coffee bean quality, grind and formula play an important role, as does fresh water quality, but ultimately, it's the brewing method that plays the all-important final role! We suggest these are the key elements when searching for a coffeemaker: Brewing Temperature, Saturation Time, Cleanability, Reliability, Longevity, Warranty, Recyclable and Sustainable.
The Technivorm 10-c. Moccamaster KBT-741 Coffee Maker is a simple, yet precise and elegant drip coffee brewer. Experience a "Golden Cup" quality cup of coffee with Technivorm Moccamaster's consistent brewing temperature, 196 – 205 degrees F, stable from start to finish. Consistent temperature is critical to preserving the flavors and aromas of coffee, and this machine does just that, preserving the entire spectrum of flavors in every cup, and brewing a full pot in only 5-6 minutes.
Water is heated via a powerful and energy-efficient copper heating element, and then passed through a 9-hole spray arm, wetting the grounds evenly prior to extraction. Brewing quickly and quietly, this coffee brewer has a precise and optimal pulse drip method that allows for the perfect coffee bloom, an ideal coffee-water saturation time (4-6 minutes), and an automatic shut-off when the brew process is complete. The stainless steel thermal carafe keeps the coffee fresh and hot, and includes a brew-through lid and a closed-top travel lid. A helpful indicator light shows when the carafe is in correct position to start the brew cycle.
The Technivorm Moccamaster was designed for simplicity, with only 2 switches. The illuminated on/off switch and the drip-stop brew-basket switch. Controlling the amount of water moving through the grounds, the filter basket switch has 3 positions: the top position is for preparing 6-10 cups, the middle is for brewing 2-5 cups, and the bottom is to pause the brewing before it is completed. The drip-stop function can be used to pour for a quick cup of coffee before the brewing cycle ends, however this is not recommended since it will affect the final pot of coffee.
Technivorm Moccamaster is backed by a 5-year warranty and is manufactured with the highest quality parts available today, and of course, where plastic is used, it's BPA free! This should be the last coffee brewer you'll ever buy, one that should last your lifetime, when cleaned and descaled properly. Both the spray arm and brew basket are fully removable, making this coffee maker simple to clean, so that parts do not build up residue that alters the taste of brewed coffee.
Coffee - It's the first thing we look forward to in the morning, why not make it the best it can be. Technivorm's inventor Gerard C. Smit says "Life is too short for bad coffee!" Enjoy your journey, one perfect cup at a time with the Technivorm Moccamaster coffee brewer!

So you've just bought tickets for your Hawaii vacation and believe you've found the best Hawaii travel deal possible. But soon thereafter, there's a Hawaii airfare sale that further reduces the price on the same flights. What if anything can you do about it?
Here's a review of the airlines flying to Hawaii and how they handle fare drops as of August 2012. Read each airline's specific terms and conditions. Generally, these assurances are based only on the lower price being for the same flights, dates, fare class, booking code, and advance purchase requirements.
Starting in January 2012, new DOT rules allow passengers to be able to either hold a reservation without payment, or cancel a booking without penalty, for 24 hours after the reservation is made, if they make the reservation one week or more prior to a flight's departure date. That is unfortunately not necessarily reflected on the airlines' website as far as we could determine. Hat tip to Paul; see comment below.
Alaska Air price guarantee. A credit for the price difference is offered when the price drops after you purchase.
No credit or refund. On the other hand their fares are frequently the cheapest in the marketplace.
Best fare guarantee. Cancel your ticket or receive a credit for the difference plus $100 voucher within 24 hours of purchase only.
Change in fare. Receive a transportation credit less $40 if the same booking code is available at a lower cost after booking.
No credit or refund.
Refund policies. Lower fare refund voucher is available with a $150 administrative fee.

How do I hold a reservation?

Hi Cass.
In most cases you will need to buy it first, then cancel it. If there are exceptions, I am not aware of them.
Paul Ferdinand (2 years ago)
In January of this year, the Department of Transportation passed a ruling that any ticket can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase, as long as the flight is 7 days away.
Some wholesalers offering Hawaii packages that deal with travel agents sell a "waiver", not to be confused with travel insurance, that enable passengers to cancel and rebook their air reservatrions without penalty for the cost of the waiver. The price of the waiver is often less than the $150 fee often charged by the airlines. Depending on the wholesaler this policy often applies to published or sale type fares.

Thanks Paul.
I updated the post to include the DOT press release. It's interesting that some of the air carriers do not have that on their websites.
Doug Brown (2 years ago)
Are you sure about United Airlines' policy regarding "no credit or refund". In the past I have been able to change my ticket for a cheaper fare BUT had to pay the $150 change fee. It would make sense change a ticket to Hawaii only in those instances when the fare dropped more than $150, but to state that United has no refund or credit policy is misleading, if not inaccurate.
Sue (2 years ago)
On Aug. 26, 5 days ago, I did what Doug suggests. United fare dropped more than 150, I received travel vouchers for the difference( $273/ticket) and was charged $150 penalty per ticket.
Jeff (2 years ago)
Hi Doug and Sue,
United previously had a fare drop policy on their website that included a $150 change fee. We are no longer able to find any reference to that on their website. It sounds like it is still in effect, albeit not overtly stated.

'The Call': Getting a line on 911 operators
We've seen a lot of shows about first responders — cops, firefighters, even EMS workers have had plenty of time in the cinema spotlight. Long overlooked, though, are the folks who get the first responders to the scene of the crime/fire/disaster: the people who answer 911 calls. You might think, "Gee, I'd like to have […] [Read More]

Q & A with Men's Basketball Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk
Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk sat down with utrockets.com this week to talk about summer workouts, his team's upcoming trip to Greece and to look ahead to the 2013-14 campaign. Below is a Q & A with the Rockets' mentor.
You're coming off a second-straight winning season and ended up tying for first place in the MAC's West Division. Can you talk a little about the goals you have for the team as the 2013-14 season approaches?
Kowalczyk: I think we've come an awfully long way in three short years. We're at the point that we feel our goal should be to strive to win a league championship. I like the direction we're headed. I like the guys we have in the program. I think we certainly have some good young talent that can help us continue to build.
Last year was a different type of season to go through due to not being eligible for postseason play as a result of low Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures from previous coach regimes. You're now on a level playing field in terms of scholarships, practice time and postseason play. Is there a sense of relief that it's behind you?
Kowalczyk: I think the APR issue isn't necessarily a sense of relief as much as it's a sense of pride. I'm just very, very proud that our guys never made excuses; they never felt sorry for themselves. We've been severely penalized, had a lot of restraints and none of our guys made excuses about it. We're very prideful that we handled it the right way. We're proud that we have good guys that are doing things the right way academically.
Summer workouts are in full swing now. How important are these for the program considering that you will have seven new players on your 2013-14 roster?
Kowalczyk: Our workouts have been great. I like our new guys a lot. When I say new guys I'm including four who redshirted. All seven are getting acclimated and doing a great job. I'm also very pleased with our three freshmen. We also have two new coaches who are getting acclimated at the same time. I think everybody involved is moving forward in the right direction.
Another way to ease the transition for the newcomers will be the team's trip to Greece scheduled for August 5-16. What do you want your players to take away from this tremendous opportunity?
Kowalczyk: This trip is designed to give our players a great team bonding, cultural and educational experience. I don't want it to be all about X's and O's. I want it to be more about giving them an opportunity to see another part of the world that they will remember the rest of their lives.
You have two seniors on the team - Rian Pearson and Matt Smith – who came with you to Toledo after their freshman seasons at Green Bay. What type of roles will they play this season?
Kowalczyk: Our expectations for both Rian and Matt are to be great leaders, great workers and to finish their career the right way. Rian is one of the most talented players in the MAC and continues to work hard on his game. Matt has also worked hard to become one of the top perimeter shooting forwards in our league. I'm extremely thankful to them that they were here to help us establish our program from the beginning.
Point-guard play is crucial to a team's success and you have a veteran in junior Julius (Juice) Brown. He's started every game of his collegiate career and ranked second in the MAC with six assists per contest last season. Talk about his value to the team.
Kowalczyk: Juice is playing really well and was a big reason why we were able to win a share of the West Division title last season. He's playing with a good amount of confidence and toughness right now, and that's really what we need.
Sophomore center Nathan Boothe enjoyed a solid rookie season last year, averaging 8.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. How is he progressing in his first full off-season as a collegian?
Kowalczyk: I was so impressed with Nate at this time last year and extremely confident he could come in and be a starter right away. He's taken it up another whole level. He's playing very confidently right now, and I'm excited about what the future holds for him.
Sophomore Josh Lemons provides you depth at the point guard position and is starting to earn a reputation as a defensive stopper.
Kowalczyk: I think Josh has made good strides as a player. He's a tough-minded, defensive-oriented type of player. He adds so much value to our team because he's a great screener, defender and does a lot of the little things real well.
Juniors Justin Drummond and J.D. Weatherspoon sat out last season as transfers and are expected to be important contributors. What are your impressions of them since they joined the program?
Kowalczyk: I think Justin is as fine of a leader that I've been around. He adds so much value to our program in so many different ways. I also think J.D. is working hard and trying to get better. He should help us a lot on the boards and give us a lot of athleticism in the post.
Another newcomer for fans will be sophomore Angel Aparicio from Spain who joined the program last winter. How has his adjustment been to the United States?
Kowalczyk: Angel has become so much more comfortable with American basketball in the short time he's been with us. He'd been playing well this summer until he tore his ACL last week. He will give us a shooter with size, which is a different dimension our program really needs. We're hoping he can get back to playing for us sometime this season.
Another newcomer to the court will be Aubrey Williams, who redshirted last season. What improvements was he able to make since joining the program a year ago.
Kowalczyk: Aubrey's a very versatile power forward, who can score in a variety of ways. He really understands the game. He's really worked on his body during this time and it's shown.
How are your three incoming freshmen – Zach Garber, Jordan Lauf and Jonathan Williams - making the transition to the college game?
Kowalczyk: I think all three guys are doing a great job. Zach provides us a big, physical inside presence. It's been fun watching him and Nate (Boothe) play against each other and with each other. Jordan is every bit the competitor and tough guy we thought he would be coming in. Jonathan is an extremely explosive, athletic scoring guard who's just trying to find his niche right now.
The amount of depth on this year's squad will be the most this program has had in recent memory. How is that going to change your approach this season?
Kowalczyk: We've had a short bench for quite a while, and we haven't had a deep team since we've been here. We're going to have a deep team this season, and that's refreshing. It's refreshing to have competition. It's refreshing to have better practices. We're going to have great versatility. We're going to be able to play big, play small and play different styles. I think that's important over the course of a season.
You hired Jason Kemp and Jordan Mincy as assistant coach in the spring to replace Angres Thorpe and Ryan Pedon who took positions at UMKC and Illinois, respectively. How is their transition into the program going?
Kowalczyk: I've been really happy with our staff changes and the transition they have made. Jason and Jordan have been doing a great job, and they both add different approaches that we didn't have in the past. I'm looking forward to working with them and getting better with them.

Saratoga Race Course is called the Graveyard of Champions because so many talented horses, including Secretariat and Man o' War, have lost there.
On Saturday, the upstate New York track claimed another well-known victim: Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice, who is ranked No. 1 on the National Thoroughbred Racing Association's Top Thoroughbred Poll.
Favored in the Grade I Whitney Handicap, Palace Malice failed to win for the first time this year. Struggling in the stretch, the 4-year-old colt came in sixth, ending a four-race win streak.
"We got the trip we were hoping for," said Palace Malice's trainer, Todd Pletcher. "It wasn't his day."
While Palace Malice floundered, front-running Moreno captured the $1.5-million Whitney by 1¼ lengths. He covered 1? miles in 1:48.05.
Itsmyluckyday finished second, three lengths in front of Will Take Charge, who was last year's champion 3-year-old male. Prayer for Relief was fourth in the field of nine runners.
Prior to the Whitney Handicap, Dogwood Stable President Cot Campbell said he wanted Palace Malice to be in the third or fourth position heading into the first turn, and the colt ended up in third without any traffic problems.
Ridden by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, Palace Malice appeared to be ready to make a strong move from the outside in the far turn. But he never really got into gear, and then he ran out of gas in the stretch.
"I don't know what went wrong," Velazquez said. "He didn't run at all. He was in perfect position. On the backstretch, he was looking around. I was hoping by the half-mile he'd move on, but he never showed any interest. He went through the whole race not paying any attention. He trained great; he warmed up great. He just didn't run today."
The Whitney was Palace Malice's first race since he captured the grade I Metropolitan Handicap by a length at Belmont Park on June 7.
Palace Malice has won seven times in his 17-race career and has earned more than $2.6 million. Last year, he finished first in the grade I Belmont Stakes.

text: The only thing lowly about the FE is its current price. I have two of them. They are sturdy and capable cameras. The only thing that bugs me about them is the exposure lock. It works but seeing the needle still moving around is distracting. I like using the FEs with an E screen for macro shooting and with slower lenses. If you remember to turn off the leter by pushing in the advance lever then batteries can last a long time.

Von Hippel-Lindau protein in the RPE is essential for normal ocular growth and vascular development.
, 139
2340 - 2350.
Molecular oxygen is essential for the development, growth and survival of multicellular organisms. Hypoxic microenvironments and oxygen gradients are generated physiologically during embryogenesis and organogenesis. In the eye, oxygen plays a crucial role in both physiological vascular development and common blinding diseases. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of cells essential for normal ocular development and in the mature retina provides support for overlying photoreceptors and their vascular supply. Hypoxia at the level of the RPE is closely implicated in pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration. Adaptive tissue responses to hypoxia are orchestrated by sophisticated oxygen sensing mechanisms. In particular, the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor protein (pVhl) controls hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF)-mediated adaptation. However, the role of Vhl/Hif1a in the RPE in the development of the eye and its vasculature is unknown. In this study we explored the function of Vhl and Hif1a in the developing RPE using a tissue-specific conditional-knockout approach. We found that deletion of Vhl in the RPE results in RPE apoptosis, aniridia and microphthalmia. Increased levels of Hif1a, Hif2a, Epo and Vegf are associated with a highly disorganised retinal vasculature, chorioretinal anastomoses and the persistence of embryonic vascular structures into adulthood. Additional inactivation of Hif1a in the RPE rescues the RPE morphology, aniridia, microphthalmia and anterior vasoproliferation, but does not rescue retinal vasoproliferation. These data demonstrate that Vhl-dependent regulation of Hif1a in the RPE is essential for normal RPE and iris development, ocular growth and vascular development in the anterior chamber, whereas Vhl-dependent regulation of other downstream pathways is crucial for normal development and maintenance of the retinal vasculature.

Wow, you're naive.
- There will be a warning on the back of the box, in small fonts. Nobody reads that. Especially soccer moms, rednecks and 13 year olds representing the main audience of Xbox 360 and the next Xbox console.
- Boycotts don't work, educate yourself.
- Boycotts don't work when you're boycotting an entire industry. I'm talking about all the big publishers colluding with the console makers to create an always online future. What the hell do you do against that? Do you stop playing console games? Do you return to PC gaming, but only play indie games and pirated stuff? Do you abandon video games as a hobby? What do you think other people will do? How long do you think other boycotters will last until giving in to the dark side? If things get better in terms of server issues, will this soften your stance? Will you be able to continue your boycott on moral grounds only, such as "always online is evil"?

Microsoft knows and abuses their user base. For example, all Xbox Live game servers are hosted by players. These players pay a yearly fee to MS, so that MS will grant them the privilege of hosting these servers and playing against other players. MS is basically getting free money.
Rednecks who don't know better; Call of Duty dudebros; 13 year olds with gullible soccer moms - these are all people don't give a shit about always online and represent the core audience of the Xbox brand. They'll buy the next console without asking questions and they'll create the critical mass MS and publishers need in order to push always online.
People who hope the PS4 will save us from always online are naive. Always online has always been the publishers' wet dream. They've been pushing for this for years. At the very least, MS and Sony will implement mechanisms so that any publisher will be able to impose the always online requirement for their games. And remember, MS and Sony are also publishers, and they're quite big publishers. Where do you expect people to go once all games released by Activision, EA, Sony, MS, Ubisoft and others will all require always online? How will you fight a cartel in its own walled garden?
Blizzard games, Steam games, even the dreaded SimCity sell tens of millions of copies each year, despite the various types of (partially) always online requirements. Always online is here to stay and there's nothing you can do, because of the massive amount of people who will gobble this up without thinking twice.

10 Best Pet Cities
Asheville, NCBlaze-N-Skyy Pet Boutique & Wellness Center in Asheville, NC
PHOTO CREDIT: Brian McCordPrev Next
If you consider your dog a diva, consider taking a trip to Asheville.
Asheville's extravagent love affair with its furry friends is exemplified in Blaze-N-Skyy Pet Boutique's Mutts + Divas fashion show, where pets get the chance to strut their stuff down the catwalk.
Pets can be pampered at Asheville boutiques like Funky Mutt, Waggers Dog Depot and Something to Bark About. Besides haute-dog couture, these stores and others offer fresh, organic baked goods for pets, grooming, training and pet photography. Asheville pet boutiques often coordinate efforts with adoption services like the Asheville Humane Society, the fashion show being one example.
Asheville's pet perks don't stop at the boutiques. Dogs can socialize and play at the Asheville Dog Park at French Broad River Park or Azalea Dog Park, both of which are leash-free and fenced. Many restaurants in Asheville offer al fresco fido seating, including the Laughing Seed Cafe, Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company and Carmel's Restaurant and Bar. Need day care or longer boarding? Check out Happy Tails Country Club or Bed and Biscuit.

About the Program
Globalization, a new idea in the 20th century, is a 21st century reality. Businesses struggle with the tensions of globalization and localization and how to best work with and interact with emerging economies.
The landscape for business in the 21st century has become increasingly complex. Globalization, a new idea in the 20th century, is a 21st century reality. Businesses struggle with the tensions of globalization and localization and how to best work with and interact with emerging economies. The 20th century concept of clean abundant energy and resources has transformed into a 21st century reality of competition and scarcity. Companies that once only had a chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO) are now adding chief sustainability officers (CSO) at the vice-president level or higher who shape corporate environmental programs and policies. Entrepreneurs rather than large established businesses now create the bulk of new jobs and wealth in the economy. While traditional skills taught by MBA programs are still necessary, they are no longer sufficient.
The Fisher International MBA program is an integral part of the Graduate School of International Policy and Management at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. We are at the intersection of business, sustainability and development. We teach the functional courses expected for success in business, such as marketing, finance, accounting, economics, quantitative methods for business analysis and operations management. We also teach courses designed to help professionals function in the new socio-economic and political realities in which 21st century businesses operate. Some of these courses reside in the business program, such as entrepreneurship, country and political risk analysis, creativity and innovation and marketing in emerging nations. Students can also take courses, such as business models for sustainable development, social innovation investment, and U.S.-China trade relations from other programs.
The Fisher International MBA program is proud of the integrative immersive educational experiences we provide for our students. In the capstone International Business Plan, students consult for client companies and organizations ranging from start-up entrepreneurs to high-tech giants such as Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Sun Microsystems. Students work in cross-cultural cross-functional teams to solve real-world business problems. In the Frontier Market Scouts program, students are trained to become investment managers seeking promising local entrepreneurs in low-income/weak-capital regions of the world, and link them with impact investors. This year's program included frontier market scouts in Tanzania, Vietnam, Nigeria and India. Another new immersive initiative focuses on working with nascent Latino entrepreneurs in California's Central Valley.
The diverse cross-cultural the Institute experience prepares our graduates with the skills, perspectives and contacts to successfully function in the international business community. Our students come from around the world and our graduates pursue successful careers in the U.S. and abroad. I encourage you to visit us and to determine if the Fisher International MBA program is the right learning experience for you.
