- "Above all else, humans are adaptable — adaptable in terms of physiology, mentality and society. Their genome is remarkably elastic: Selection pressures need a few millennia at most to engage new genes and reshape their bodies in response to environmental changes, as the galaxy's countless near-human populations attest."
- ―Hali Ke, Kaminoan senior research geneticist
Near-Human was the general term for any of the many species or subspecies in the galaxy which were very closely related biologically to baseline Humans. In contrast, other humanoid species only had general external similarities to Humans, and had no biological connection. However, the term "humanoid" was sometimes used loosely to describe Near-Human species.
Most Near-Humans shared close external similarities to Humans, usually with small differences in skin and eye color or bone structure. Biologically, many Near-Humans were capable of interbreeding with baseline Humans. Some were close enough to the Human baseline to be considered a race or ethnic group of Humans, rather than a separate species. Similarly, some groups, biologically classified as Humans, though differing from the Human mainstream almost entirely in their culture, were considered so distinct that they were sometimes referred to as Near-Human.
The term "Near-Human" was used for species and races which had evolved significant physiological differences from baseline Humanity. It was also used for unrelated species, such as the plant-descended Zelosians, with substantial external similarities to Humans.[1]
Though Near-Humans were not Human in the strictest sense, their "almost human" status led to exceptions in the xenophobic and Humanocentric policies of the Galactic Empire. Not all Imperials accepted Near-Humans as equals, however: Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus despised high-ranking Near-Human colleagues such as the part-Sephi Grand Moff Bertroff Hissa[1] and the Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn.[2] Another Imperial Near-Human, Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta, kept his Borneck and Etti ancestry secret while ardently supporting Humanocentrism and Human High Culture.[3] Calian shockboxer Lobar Aybock recalled an Imperial saying in his autobiography—"near Human, not near enough."[4]
Near-Human typesEdit
The Chiss, a race that dwelt in the Unknown Regions, were a Near-Human people[5] that had pale blue skin, generally black hair, and red reflective or fluorescent eyes which gave them excellent low-light vision. Their growth cycle differed from Humans, with an early maturation, for example. They were differentiated enough from baseline Humans to be considered a new species. In other aspects they resembled normal Humans: they bled red blood, and the cloning tanks used to clone Human stormtroopers also worked on Chiss physiology.
Zeltrons were Near-Humans[5] with a completely Human appearance, save for their skin, which normally came in shades of pink or red. This pigmentation may or may not have been a result of their sun's highly radioactive rays. Generally speaking, they actually were a rather amorous race, famous (or infamous) for their many sculptures and paintings on the subject. Along with their above-average looks, Zeltrons could use telepathy and powerful pheromones to influence other beings with relative ease. They also made great strides in the field of holograms and were responsible for the ones used at Hologram Fun World. Zeltrons were differentiated enough from baseline Humans to actually be considered a new species.
Many other Near-Human races existed, each with their own similarities to and differences from the Human baseline. The Pau'an and Utai species of the planet Utapau,[6] and the Sullustans of Sullust[7] were among the species which, despite outward appearances, were classified as Near-Humans. The Zelosian species, though classified as Near-Humans,[8] were in fact sentient, mobile plants.[9] By contrast, other Near-Humans were close enough to baseline Humans to be identified as sub-groups of the Human species by some sources. These included the Hapans and the Lorrdians.[9]
Non-Human parallelsEdit
Humans were not the only sentient species to develop into several distinct races. The Duros, for example, gave rise to several Near-Duros races, such as the Neimoidians. Other pairs of closely related species included: the Xexto and the Quermians; the Horansi subspecies; the many races of the Nikto species; the Ranats and the Tintinna; the Ssi-ruuk and P'w'eck; the Sith and the Massassi; the Zolanders and the Clawdites; the Ewoks and Duloks; the Troob and the Hobors, and the Trandoshans and the Saurin. The t'landa Til and the Hutts were also related to one another, though more distantly. Although unsubstantiated, some in the New Republic speculated about a possible connection between the Yevetha and the Twi'leks.[10]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Near-Human status of many "alien races" is not always certain. For instance, aliens who appear very similar to Humans may often be assumed by fans to be Near-Human, though this may never be explicitly stated in the canon. The confusion is compounded by the absence of any canonical explanation of what precisely "Near-Human" means. The definition could be as broad as a humanoid creature about the same size and bone structure of a Human, or could be more specific such as being able to biologically reproduce with a Human.
The Utai look obviously non-Human, but are specifically described as Near-Humans in the Revenge of the Sith novelization. Some of this confusion comes from overlapping use of the terms "humanoid" and "Near-Human", both by in-universe sources and real-world writers.[source?]
An additional source of ambiguity are groups such as the Lorrdians and Hapans, who are described in different sources as either Near-Humans or as a fully Human racial or ethnic group.
The Twi'leks are frequently assumed to be Near-Human by fans,[source?] but no source has yet identified them as Near-Human. They are capable of producing hybrid offspring with Humans, however, such as Jek Lawquane and Shaeeah Lawquane.
From a production perspective, many characters in the Star Wars universe are human actors wearing makeup, masks, or prosthetic appliances, making it difficult and expensive to create races that could not be a Human in a costume.

New York: Multicultural Statistics on the World's Official Melting Pot
If your marketing and advertising plans involve targeting New Yorkers, be sure to take into account how the state's multicultural and immigrant demographics are rapidly changing. You'd be surprised. Here are 10 important facts about immigrants and people of color in the state that give insights into their economic, cultural, and purchasing power.
1. New York's foreign-born population is growing quickly. During the decade of 2000-10, New York's foreign-born community grew by 11.3 percent. By the end of the decade, New York had the nation's third-highest percentage of "newly arrived foreign-born," defined as those who came to the United States within the previous five years, and 10 percent of all newly arrived foreign-born residents in the nation. More likely than not, reaching these communities will benefit from in-language, grassroots marketing and community events.
2. The Latino community constitutes an increasing share of the state's population. The Latino share of New York's population grew from 12.3 percent in 1990, to 15.1 percent in 2000, to 17.7 percent in 2010. That's over 3.4 million people, roughly equivalent to the entire island of Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. While Latinos come from a wide range of countries, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic lead the way in New York, so consider leveraging cultural traits that span both nationalities, such as music and food.
3. Children of color make up a substantial portion of New York's youth population. Forty percent of New York's child population are children of color, and 86 percent of children with immigrant parents were considered "English proficient" as of 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute. Consider children's influence on purchasing decisions and language proficiency, especially when marketing items like toys and food, where children carry a loud voice.
4. There are 1.6 million eligible Latino voters in New York with many more in the pipeline. This makes New York home to the fourth-largest Hispanic eligible-voter population nationally. That number should continue on the rise given the high levels of Latinos eligible for naturalizations (According to the Department of Homeland Security). President Obama and Mitt Romney have both taken note, announcing a wide range of campaign initiatives targeting Latinos nationally. State-based electoral candidates should take note.
5. Fifty-two percent of immigrants (or 2.2 million people) in New York were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2010—meaning that they are eligible to vote. See #5, above. Enough said.
6. Immigrants are a significant part of New York's workforce. Immigrants comprised 27.3 percent of the state's workforce in 2010 (or 2.7 million workers), according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As this number increases, so will their purchasing power (and your brand's plans to capture a share of it).
7. People of color and immigrants contribute significantly to the state's economic well-being. In 2009 New York City's 69,000 immigrant small-business owners made up 48 percent of all small-business owners in the city, according to the U.S Census Bureau. This is an excellent opportunity for regional and even national banks looking to grow their SBA business, as well as companies offering mid- to small- business services like printing, IT, and HR management.
8. New York has one of the largest Hispanic economic markets in the country. The state has some of the largest Hispanic consumer markets at $81 billion, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth. For some perspective, consider that this dollar amount is approximately equivalent to the 72nd largest GDP in the world, according to the IMF… But it's just Hispanics, just in NY.
9. Removing unauthorized immigrants from the state could hurt the economy. If all illegal immigrants were removed from New York, the state would lose $29 billion in economic activity, even accountingfor adequate market adjustment time, according to a Perryman Group report. While this is not the only argument to consider regarding immigration reform, it certainly is an important one. Depending on your brand's focus and stance, an opportunity to build allegiance with (or distance yourself from) the sector.
10. Immigrants pay a significant amount of state and local taxes in New York. In 2010 New York was ranked fourth in the country in terms of tax revenue collected from households headed by illegal immigrants, with a total of $662,439,624 to the state in taxes. In addition to supporting purchasing power, this number indicates a distinct opportunity for financial services companies to address this hard working, tax-paying, and often ignored market (from a marketing perspective).

I'm not usually all that much into unwritten postcards, but I do like this one from Malawi. I love this sort of views, plus it's not like the likelihood of ever receiving a written and stamped postcard from Malawi is very big.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Mozambique on the east, south and west. The country is separated from Tanzania and Mozambique by Lake Malawi. Malawi is over 118,000 km2 with an estimated population of 16,777,547 (July 2013 est.). Its capital is Lilongwe, which is also Malawi's largest city; the second largest is Blantyre and the third is Mzuzu. The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the area. The country is also nicknamed "The Warm Heart of Africa".
The area of Africa now known as Malawi was settled by migrating Bantu groups around the 10th century. Centuries later in 1891 the area was colonized by the British. In 1953 Malawi, then known as Nyasaland, became part of the semi-independent Central African Federation (CAF). The Federation was dissolved in 1963, and in 1964, Nyasaland gained full independence and was renamed Malawi. Upon gaining independence it became a single-party state under the presidency of Hastings Banda, who remained president until 1994, when he lost an election. Prof. Peter Mutharika is the current president. Malawi has a democratic, multi-party government. Malawi has a small military force that includes an army, a navy and an air wing. Malawi's foreign policy is pro-Western and includes positive diplomatic relations with most countries and participation in several international organisations.
Malawi is among the world's least-developed countries. The economy is heavily based in agriculture, with a largely rural population. The Malawian government depends heavily on outside aid to meet development needs, although this need (and the aid offered) has decreased since 2000. The Malawian government faces challenges in building and expanding the economy, improving education, health care, environmental protection, and becoming financially independent. Malawi has several programs developed since 2005 that focus on these issues, and the country's outlook appears to be improving, with improvements in economic growth, education and healthcare seen in 2007 and 2008.
Malawi has a low life expectancy and high infant mortality. There is a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which is a drain on the labour force and government expenditures. There is a diverse population of native peoples, Asians and Europeans, with several languages spoken and an array of religious beliefs. Although there was periodic regional conflict fuelled in part by ethnic divisions in the past, by 2008 it had diminished considerably and the concept of a Malawian nationality had re-emerged. Malawian cultural practices and Malawian cuisine are rich in local, southern African, and overseas influences, as well as this, they have many peculiar forms of cuisine found no where else. These include eating ants, honey soaked beetles and a type of native fish which is dried, baked in spices and then soaked in goat milk and various leaves for up to two days creating a type of tea flavored jerky, though this is only prevalent in rural areas within small communities.

Ethernet communications system reduces energy consumption in multiple areas
SERCOS Energy defines parameters and commands for the reduction of energy consumption in a uniform vendor-independent manner.
The SERCOS vendor organizations have released the energy profile specification for the SERCOS III Real-time Ethernet Communications System.
SERCOS Energy reduces energy consumption in three areas. First, the permanent load at motor/machine standstill is reduced; second, the consumption depending on the process is dynamically adjusted considering the target completion times/dates (partial load operation); and third, energy is saved during processing by switching off components that are not required at a particular time or point in the process (partial machine operation).
SERCOS Energy is an application layer profile that defines parameters and commands for the reduction of energy consumption in a uniform vendor-independent manner. The control reads out parameters of each SERCOS Energy component via the SERCOS III network, receiving status information and detailed consumption values. Depending on the situation (e.g., scheduled or unscheduled breaks, machine components not needed in the current production process) the control can switch connected components (drives, I/O, sensors) into energy-saving conditions up to complete shut-down, considerably reducing their energy consumption.
An 8-page whitepaper describing SERCOS Energy can be downloaded.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 8, 2014)—With a second place finish in the Grade I CashCall Futurity fresh on his mind, jockey Gary Stevens bided his time aboard Candy Boy in Saturday's Grade II, $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes and the result was a rousing half length win, as the John Sadler trainee won in-hand going 1 1/16 miles in 1:41.83.
When asked about Candy Boy's next start, Sadler left little doubt that it would be in the Grade I, $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 5.
"When you're looking around the United States, weather everywhere else is terrible, so right now, I'm staying right here. They had to cancel at Oaklawn (in Hot Springs, Ark.) on Friday, so we're not looking to go anywhere but to stay right in our own backyard."
Owned and bred in Kentucky by Lee and Susan Searing's CRK Stable, LLC, the 3-year-old colt by Candy Ride was the second choice at 2-1 and paid $6.60, $3.20 and $2.20. With the winner's share of $120,000, Candy Boy hiked his earnings to $305,600. He now has two wins and two seconds from six starts.
Perhaps most importantly, Candy Boy picked up 10 Kentucky Derby qualifying points for the win, while the second, third and fourth place finishers were awarded four, two and one, respectively.
With longshot Diamond Bachelor sent to the early lead by Julien Leparoux, 6-5 favorite Midnight Hawk, with Mike Smith up, sat a close third early, just off both Diamond Bachelor and eventual second place finisher Chitu, who like the favorite, is trained by Bob Baffert.
Although Midnight Hawk appeared to be sitting a comfortable trip just in behind splits of 23.33, 46.80 , 1:10.84 and 1:35.64, he struggled the final eighth, finishing third, 1 ¾ lengths behind the winner.
"For a big horse he has a lot of acceleration and confidence on the (last) turn," said Stevens of the winner. "I was closer than I thought we were going to be today. He's grown a lot lately…but he's also grown mentally too. I've been up for his last five works and I've been so impressed and so far we haven't really squeezed the trigger.
"The gallop out was huge today and I was already thinking about the Santa Anita Derby as we were galloping out around the (Club House) turn. It was a lot of fun and he didn't even take a deep breath after the race. He's a super, majorly talented racehorse."
Chitu, off at 9-2 with Martin Garcia, shook loose of Diamond Bachelor and Midnight Hawk leaving the three sixteenths pole, but was no match for the winner late. Chitu (pronounced Sheetoo) finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of Midnight Hawk and paid $5.00 and $3.00.
Undefeated Midnight Hawk, who was favored on the strength of his win in the one mile, Grade III Sham Stakes Jan. 11, tried to stay with Chitu the final eighth, but was third best, finishing 4 ¼ lengths in front of Diamond Bachelor. He paid $2.10 to show.
"He ran well today," said Smith of the favorite. "Those were our best 3-year-olds, so I was really hoping he would kick on when I asked him. He was a bit keen early on. I really can't give him a lot of excuses. I mean, I was there at the quarter pole and I wasn't at the wire…He didn't lug in at all…He just didn't kick on."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
For a big company, IBM is pretty nimble. Since the days of Lou Gerstner, the firm has been plowing under slow-growth or less-profitable business units and amping up investments at the other end of the spectrum.
Examples of businesses shown the door include PCs, which were sold to Lenovo in 2005, and x86 servers, which are in the process of being transferred to the same buyer at this writing. Meanwhile, has invested heavily in the new areas of cloud services, big data, analytics, and mobile device management.
Early this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that IBM was looking to sell its chip manufacturing unit. The Financial Times (which actually broke the story) asserted that such a sale was "a vital part of IBM's strategic realignment."
Making chips is expensive, and it's getting to be more so. Even a half-decade ago, a manufacturer could outfit a functional semiconductor fabrication plant for $3 billion, give or take a billion. Now, that tab is $10 billion and counting.
And IBM engineers have noted in public forums that it's hard to justify the economic benefits of trying to move process technology down below 10nm, the smallest feature size on any company's roadmap until today. From here on in, the cost of shrinking features may outweigh the benefits in transistor density, power savings, and performance that such advances have delivered in the past.
But today, IBM reemphasized its commitment to remaining at the heart of silicon development for at least the next five years. In a press release (which will go live at midnight this evening), the company indicated that it will invest $3 billion during the next half decade on research into advanced technologies for future chip generations. This announcement should help assuage market fears, raised when the company starting shopping the semiconductor unit early this year.
This investment will go into two general areas:
- refining existing silicon technologies so that they can be deployed in chips that have features as small as 7nm and
- exploring new technologies that will take chip development beyond that.
Of note, IBM is the first company to state with confidence that it will be able to produce 7nm chips. has talked about 7nm in vague terms, but has not come out and said it is ready to tackle the problem. Other chip makers like TSMC and Samsung have also been quiet on 7nm. None of this is surprising. Hitting 10nm will be difficult enough with today's process technologies.
IBM says it is committing "more than a thousand IBM Research scientists and engineers from Albany and Yorktown, New York, Almaden, California, and Zurich, Switzerland" to the project and "hiring significantly in emerging areas" to supplement existing teams.
For the 7nm effort, IBM will partner with other firms. Although it hasn't said exactly which ones, GlobalFoundries, which operates semiconductor fabs in Upstate New York as well as Germany and Singapore, is a likely candidate. Collaborative work will also be undertaken with various universities.
The "post-silicon era" project will attempt to
- bring to maturity experimental technologies such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silicon photonics, and tunnel field effect transistors and
- develop new computational approaches such as neuromorphic and quantum computing.
If IBM were leaving the silicon business, it would not invest this kind of money in these advanced projects. Although many of today's computing workloads have begun shifting to large cloud suppliers like , , and , which tend to make use of exactly the type of commodity x86 servers that IBM is selling off to Lenovo, IBM believes that the stringent computing requirements of future cloud, big data, and cognitive systems will require capabilities not yet available, and it plans to supply those capabilities with systems built on the technologies in which it is investing today.
These technologies will enable things like massively parallel, rapid transactions, processing that can handle input from all the sensors in the Internet of Things, and seamless, fast encryption to serve endpoints and peripherals strewn about the landscape.
Even if IBM spins out the semiconductor fabrication business, it will, despite speculation to the contrary, maintain the systems business.
Ten years from now, computing will require fundamentally new systems that have yet to be invented. IBM wants to be on the forefront, and to get there, the company is investing now to push semiconductor innovation from today's breakthroughs into the advanced technology leadership required for the future.

Front Coil Over Shocks on a Straight Axel!
It's not a topic with a lot of answers on this site, but I appreciate those who did give me feed back. I finished removing the single leaf and upgraded my Model A with front coil overs. I have added many details of the project to my photo journal and would be happy to expand the discussion if there are any specific questions.
Sponsored Links | |||
Front Coil Over Shocks on a Straight Axle!
The passenger axle mount shown painted red has a pan mount welded to it with two adjustment holes. The drop down mount on the driver's side is attached to the frame and the pan bar sits level right behind the front axle. This allows the bat wings to be free of any pressure and effectively attaches the pan bar to the front axle. Quarter inch angle iron with a quarter gusset and 3/16 tabs.
I am using a 175lb, 14" spring. My front weight was 1110 before this modification. Can't wait to feel what this suspension does. If the snow ever goes away! I like the looks of your front axle, nice engineering!
Thanks, but the engineering came from the sprint car. I just adapted it. Your car is only 60# heavier than mine on the front axle. Have you not tried it with the 175# springs yet? I am anxious to hear how it works on the street. I have been playing with the idea going lighter on my springs. I have 225# front and 150# rear. It is firm but not like a buckboard. Being from upstate NY, you are in the same boat as me as far as driving your hot rod until it warms up and the snow goes away
I am running #300 springs in the rear with a weight of 1680. They work great. The rear springs are shorter, 10" as compared to the 12" spring in the front (in the prior thread I stated 14" but that was wrong. 14" is the total length of the shock and spring). Just didn't have the room in the back for a longer shock (the back shocks sit 12" total) The longer the spring the less spring weight that is needed because more coils get involved. If I were using a 10" in the front I would move up to #185-200. You may have a stiffer spring than is needed at #225. I can't tell you how this rides yet......till I see some pavement Haha! (Upstate NY). Later, I'll put an update in my Journal on how the ride and handling goes. In the mean time....
Here is an online spring rate calculator you can play with. This should help. Spring Rate Calculator « Ridetech News and Information |

My understanding of coil springs is that (as an example) a 300# spring will compress 1" with 300# on it, 2" with 600# on it, 3" with 900# on it, etc. regardless of the length of the spring.
I see from the calculator that going to a longer spring requires a lighter weight spring. I don't understand. Last edited by jaw22w; 02-05-2013 at 10:59 AM. |
The more coils involved in a longer spring and shock the more vertical movement with the same impact. 10" spring moves 1" but a 12" will move 1 1/8" You use lessor weight spring but the additional movement results in the same weight after you multiply. 1 *300 or 1.125 * 275 roughly the same. I think that's how it works!!!! |
It is a channel weld up one inch on both sides of the frame, BUT since the mount already has holes, and there is still a buggy spring pad on the cross frame, I could easily bolt a rigid diagonal brace from the middle of the pan mount up to the middle of the frame. Thanks for the feedback. Super Idea
Regards, Andy |
[QUOTE=aosborn;1643896]That is not really how it works. I 300lb spring is a 300lb spring regardless if it is 2" or 12" long. One will just coil bind sooner than the other. 300lbs compress it one inch, 600lbs 2" etc, unless it is a progressive spring.
That is what I thought also. So why does the calculator posted above say you need a different spring when you change the length of the spring? I have been thinking about this for a couple of days. It has been bothering me. I have used coilover springs and shocks on race cars for over 20 years and I just don't understand why that calculator shows that. |
[quote=aosborn;1643941]No, not referring to the preload. When I input the weights and angles for my car using a 6.3" travel shock and a 12" spring, performance mode recommends a 150# spring with .47 preload. Then when I input the same numbers but change to a 4.1" travel shock with a 10" spring, performance mode recommends a 200# spring with .52 preload. I don't understand why when changing spring lengths, the spring rate needs to change.

There's little to be done for your berry plants during the first year. Cultivate to keep weeds down at least through early summer to let the plants get established, then apply a layer of mulch thick enough to smother weeds - 4 to 8 inches deep. Mulches rich in nutrients produce superior-tasting fruit. Composted leaves around the plants, supplemented with manure, are a good choice. Besides mulch, moisture is the critical ingredient throughout the life of your raspberry patch. For plenty of plump, juicy berries, trickle irrigation of some kind - perhaps a soaker hose under the mulch - is ideal. Short of that luxury, at least ensure I inch of water per week, more during dry spells.
By the second year you will have to work at keeping the canes within the 1- or 2-foot-wide hedgerow boundaries if you planted a variety that spreads through root suckers. Periodically dig up any stray canes and transplant or destroy them, or just run a tiller alongside the rows. Beyond that, put off any substantial pruning until the third year.
A year or two after planting you will know whether or not your canes need support. All black and most purple raspberry plants can be individually staked, but this is obviously impractical for reds, yellows, and those purples with a propensity for spreading underground. For those types, a T-trellis system works nicely. Certain varieties are more upright than others; you may not need to support them at all. Just grow them, see how droopy they are, then decide if you need to put up a T-trellis afterward. You don't have to tie the canes; they'll just grow up and rest against the wires. Besides producing a tidier berry patch, trellising makes for cleaner fruit, less breakage, and easier pruning and harvesting.
Raspberries are bothered by insects and disease less often than most other fruits. Nevertheless, the risk is there. In most cases, you can avoid sprays by practicing careful garden sanitation and removing wild plants nearby. Two insects in particular may be attracted to your raspberry patch. The cane borer makes itself known by a sudden wilting near the tops of new canes, where the adult beetle lays its eggs. If undisturbed, the larvae will travel down the cane, kill it, and infect others. Look for a slight swelling and two rings on the cane that pinpoint the borer, cut off the cane just below the lower ring, and burn it. To stay ahead of the borers, remove affected canes as soon as you notice them.
The tarnished plant bug, which feeds on young berries and flowers, is less easily controlled. Ideally, you should situate your raspberry patch away from hay or corn fields where the bugs breed. If you're not getting fully developed fruit, you may have to resort to more direct methods of control, possibly pesticides.
Raspberries may also fall prey to several fungal diseases (anthracnose, cane and spur blights, orange rust [black raspberries only], and verticillium wilt), bacterial diseases (crown and cane gall), viruses (mosaic, leaf curl, and ringspot), mildews, and fruit rot. Good sanitation keeps control many of these diseases.

Reject secession effort
Iâm proud to live in California. I see no reason to chop it up and rename it (âCalifornia secession effort still alive,â Sept. 23).
We should remain a united California.
Yes, thereâs trouble with the stateâs budgetary system, but we are not alone.
Take a look at our federal government. Our state budget needs to be solved by Gov. Jerry Brown and our capable legislators.
Their expertise should be used to get our state back on track. No one should be wasting money on trying to divide us and renaming the parts of California.
If the state were divided and our half renamed South California, weâd forever be confused with the state of South Carolina.
No, thank you. I like it as it is now.

Good Quality Unit

Comments about Alpine Double-DIN Bluetooth CD Receiver:
I recently got this unit to replace the factory stereo in my 2009 Jetta. It is easy to set up and use, buttons are large enough to easily identify when driving, sound quality is great. The Blue Tooth connection to my iPhone was easy and sounds great.My only concern is the radio reception is somewhat weak. It is noticeable with talk stations especially but not as much with music. The difference from the stock unit is significant. This is the only downside of the unit, otherwise its great.
