I'm currently a Java programmer. I am doing high-performance server work, Swing client work, and game design. I've developed in multiple languages on multiple platforms. I've worked seriously in the past with PHP, ASP, Unix C/C++, MS SQL Server, and MySQL.
I take a very direct approach to programming. I don't bow to convention simply because it is. Remember that DOS was a standard at one point. Remember that Windows still is a standard. Does it work, yes, I suppose, most of the time it does. I would build it much differently.

The Outside Corner:
Baseball is supposed to make sense. It's why we count stats, to objectively quantify positive and negative performances. Of course we know there's always some pesky team that comes along and spoils all the fun, the pageantry, the beauty of having the best teams on paper meet in a matchup for the ages. For example, in 2013 the Los Angeles Angels and the Dodgers are supposed to meet in the first ever Freeway World Series between the Southern California rivals. They've spent the money, they have the star power, heck they even have the red vs. blue theme. But there are twenty-eight other teams in baseball that are aiming to disrupt that beautiful plan. More specifically, there are a few teams that hardly anyone is expecting to knock off the Angels and the Dodgers, but also the Braves, Nats, Reds, Giants, Rangers, Tigers and Yankees. These are 2012 Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A's. They're the 2011 Virginia Commonwealth University Rams basketball team and the 1980 Men's U.S. Oly...

More than 80 CHOC Children's physicians, including specialists and pediatricians, are featured as "Physicians of Excellence" in the January 2012 issue of Orange Coast magazine. The "Physicians of Excellence" program was developed by the Orange County Medical Association, one of the largest medical societies in the United States. The annual program honors the region's outstanding physicians for their dedication to the medical profession and their service to the community.
To be selected, physicians were required to be certified by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties, a member board of the American Board of Osteopathic Medical Specialties, or an equivalency board recognized by the Medical Board of California or Osteopathic Medical Board of California; be in good standing with the Medical Board of California or Osteopathic Medical Board of California; maintain a primary practice in Orange County for the last five years; and be in practice within his/her specialty for the last five years. Additionally, physicians were required to meet at least two of the following criteria: physician leadership; teaching/mentoring; medical research/scientific advances; and humanitarian service.
CHOC Children's honors these extraordinary doctors for being named "Physicians of Excellence." They are part of a team of pediatric experts compassionately caring for the two million children who depend on CHOC.

'Grab and go' flip flops
These flip flops are very cute. My mom loves wearing them at home. My mom's original size is 7M, mine is 6-6.5M. I ordered these in size 7. We both fit them well. Although, I could get away with these in size 6. They are a little narrow, but luckily I have narrow feet, so they fit nicely. Love the pastel pink, yellow, and white!

Looking for a half size? do not size up
If you are looking for a half size do not size up as they recommend. I went ahead and got both the size up and the size down. And the size down had the perfect length.
I did not find them comfortable as other users did. The material is not the typical soft crocs material. The sole is pretty stiff and the part between your toes hurts…
My feet slide to the front so my big toes were off the soles and about almost an inch of free sole was showing in the back..

Simple but worth it
I bought these flip-flops in various colors as I found them when they were on-sale and was in need of some new summer shoes. I find them to be true to size. I am an 8 1/2 and ordered a 9 which are slightly too big but its very hard to tell as I like roomy flip flops. The straps sit a bit further back on the foot than I am used to but are still comfortable. The only reason I didn't give these 5 stars is because I feel like the normal price of $20.00 is a little too much as I have purchased many flip flops similar to these for around 10.00.

Love, love, love them!
I have lived in the gold version of theses flip flops. They are cute and soooo comfortable. I wear them inside and out, every day. It's ridiculous how much I wear these flip flops. They are like walking on clouds....love, love, love them : ))) I bought them for ten bucks during a promotion in the spring and this was the best ten dollars I have ever spent! The gold was nude! Big , but pleasant surprise. I get so many compliments on these flip flops. Crocs did me a favor when they sent me the email suggesting I buy these. They fit perfectly and look great with everything!

I normally wear an 8.5 so I tried this style in a 39. The length was a tiny bit big, but because they are a stiffer leather it held onto my foot just fine. Also with the right sock they would have fit better. I am a standard medium so this fit, but I could tell it was running more narrow-medium. The tongue was a little stiff but possibly after a few wears would loosen up.

Linking Knowledge with Action for Sustainaibility: ASI Distinguished Speaker William C. Clark
ASI Distinguished Speaker William C. Clark was quick to admit that a Harvard Professor discussing outreach and research for the public good to a room full of Aggies seemed amiss. But Clark has long studied how academics can be better involved with the public in order to meet their needs, and how that involvement is an essential element to sustainable development. His talk pushes for stronger collaborations amongst academics and with the public, better political engagement, and more risk taking in our research--recognizing that true innovation is always preceded by failed attempts. UC Davis and UC ANR are, in many ways, successful at these attempts. Clark urges us, "just tell the stories louder."
The full talk is available to view here, including a compelling question and answer period at the end.

Farm to Fork
ASI is participating in several farm-to-fork and Food Day events this fall, including the Davis Chamber of Commerce Ag Economy luncheon which will feature broccoli seedlings grown by UC Davis Student Farm students.
The broccoli seedlings the Student Farm is sharing with the Davis Chamber of Commerce are one example of the sort of hands-on education students receive at the Student Farm, which is a program of the Agricultural Sustainability Institute (ASI) at UC Davis
Learn more about the UC Davis Student Farm.
Caring for your broccoli plant
Wondering how to take care of the broccoli plant you received today? Alice Del Simone is happy to help.
Planting instructions:
- Transplant seedling into your indoor, or outdoor, garden in the next couple of weeks
- If you're planting into a pot, use at least a two-gallon container per seedling.
- Broccoli prefer at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Fill the pot with potting soil mix.
- Before transplanting water your seedling.
- To plant, gently squeeze the sides of the seedling pot before removing it by holding near the base of the stem
- Place it in the hole and firmly pack the soil around the base of the seeding
- Water the pot.
Care instructions:
- Water regularly, about one inch per week
- Add nutrients, such as a fish fertilizer or another nitrogen-rich amendment
- As the plant grows, check for pests such as cabbage worms or aphids. Cabbage worms are small green worms that are generally on the undersides of the leaves. Remove any worms immediately.
- Harvest the central head as it comes to maturity. After you cut off the first head of broccoli, side heads will continue to grow well into the cooler weather. These can be harvested as they mature.

Food systems literature and research in one, easy-to-navigate location
Community food systems are gaining attention nationwide as an important way to create links between farmers, consumers and communities in particular regions. A recently released bibliography created by researchers with the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at UC Davis documents the growing interest in community food systems, focusing mostly on analyses of food-related activities and trends within the United States.
The Community Food System Bibliography gathers published literature on local and regional food systems and categorizes the literature by key topics. It can help students and researchers better understand the landscape of the literature, gaps and needs for future research; non-profits can use it to help them identify the potential successes and shortcomings of existing strategies and highlight opportunities for future work.

New video lecture from Tom Tomich on global agroecology
In 2012, ASI Director Tom Tomich co-authored an article with ASI Affiliated faculty members and UC Davis faculty about Agroecology from a global perspective in the Annual Reviews and Environment and Resources.
The Annual Reviews has added a video lecture from Tom as a way to share more broadly the messages of this article. In this video lecture, he discusses the agricultural challenges brought on by a world population that could surpass nine billion individuals by 2050, as well as water scarcity, climate change, pests, nitrogen prices, and geopolitical factors. An important question will be how to feed nine billion people and do it in a sustainable way. He stresses the importance of approaching agroecology from an scientific perspective, integrated across disciplines, from economic and social sciences to entomology and genomics.

Give the gift of sustainability this holiday season
Harold McClarty wants to feed the world while teaching his grandson about the importance of giving back.
by Courtney S. Miller
While many grandparents will be giving a bike or doll to their grandkids this holiday season, Harold McClarty is giving his grandson, Reed, a more unusual gift.
Through the Adopt-an-Acre program at the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at UC Davis, McClarty recently made a donation to "adopt" an acre at UC Davis' Russell Ranch Sustainable Agricultural Facility in honor of Reed McClarty, the youngest member of the McClarty family. McClarty, who is a prominent Central Valley farmer, said he made the gift because he wants to teach his one-and-a-half year old grandson and the entire McClarty family about the importance of agricultural sustainability while supporting a program that coincides with the family philosophy of giving back.
"Purchasing this acre is a legacy to Reed," McClarty said. "We're giving him something for the rest of his life."

Terroir of Russell Ranch
Russell Ranch recently participated in the Robert Mondavi Institute's 2012 Terroir Event . The event, focused mostly on wine grapes, examined the current understanding of terroir -- the concept that soil, climate, topography and similar elements of a local environment affect the quality and taste of the foods we grow.
So much of the focus at Russell Ranch is on soils, we thought it appropriate to share a bit about our own terroir with an infographic.

Russell Ranch digs deep
Approximately every ten years, the research team at the Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility gets the chance to dig deep into their research material to help answer questions about the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems.
With a steel probe attached to the back of a tractor, the team digs three meters deep to take soil samples at 432 different points around the 72-acre field. The initiative takes the team nearly a month to complete, and the information in each soil core can answer major research questions about the long-term effects of different farming methods on soil health and help inform year-round research efforts at the ranch.
"The effort that has gone into collecting this unique set of samples will pay off in figuring out agricultural impacts on processes happening not only in plain sight, but also out of view, buried deep in the soil," said Russell Ranch director Kate Scow.
The sampling effort is part of the Century Project, Russell Ranch's 100-year-long experiment. The project divides 72 acres of land into individual one-acre plots, with each plot given different treatments throughout the year. Some plots are irrigated; other plots are farmed without added water. Some plots are treated with compost; others are treated with synthetic fertilizer. Each individual plot demonstrates how a combination of different practices can affect crop yield, soil health and the health of surrounding ecosystems.

Celebrating the excellence of staff member Israel Herrera
Israel Herrera, facility manager at the Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility at UC Davis, was awarded a Citation for Excellence by Chancellor Linda Katehi and the UC Davis Staff Assembly this month. The award recognizes outstanding achievements by UC Davis staff.
The Agricultural Sustainability Institute at UC Davis nominated Herrera out of appreciation for his overall positive attitude, generosity, intelligence and integrity.
Herrera has been an integral part of Russell Ranch's success. He has designed farming equipment for better cover crop incorporation with a local equipment manufacturer. In order to improve water research and water monitoring capabilities, Herrera negotiated the repair of two on-site wells with campus Utilities that included adding automated controls and remote access for system monitoring. Herrera advocated for switching from contract-based farm labor to hiring two permanent, fairly paid farm laborers for the ranch. Herrera also keeps strong ties with the local farming community through personal visits and by assisting them with new equipment in conservation tillage and cover crop management.
Herrera remains steadfast in his devotion to both the research and practical needs of Russell Ranch, working long hours and weekends during peak seasons. He has skillfully managed a complex research station with limited resources and support for many years. His leadership, creativity and outreach to the community have created long-lasting relationships within and beyond the university community.
Thank you for all you do, Israel!

Congratulations, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems graduates.
On Sunday morning, June 17, thousands of students marched through UC Davis' campus in caps and gowns to receive their diplomas. That afternoon, we gathered at the Ecological Garden to celebrate with Genna Lipari and Alannah Kull, the two students who make up the first graduating class of the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Major (SA&FS).
The SA&FS major, officially launched at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, integrates multiple subjects to provide students with a thorough understanding of the many issues facing modern farming and food systems, including production, processing, distribution, consumption and waste management.
The degree was created with the goal of instilling in students the ability to step back and see the big picture, said Professor Ryan Galt, who teaches a core course in the major.
For Genna Lipari, that goal was met. "I'm well positioned," she said. "I think I get the big picture a little better than most [new graduates]. It's a valuable perspective to have in the work force."
We want to congratulate Genna and Alannah on their accomplishment, and wish them the best of luck as they head out into the work force. New students are frequently showing interest in the SA&FS major, so we look forward to future graduation ceremonies and the chance to celebrate the work of our students.

Russell Ranch announces new UC Davis fresh-dried tomato product
Sustainable farming study produces more than research results
Adding to a growing list of campus-produced products, Russell Ranch introduced a new UC Davis product today -- Russell Ranch Dried Tomatoes.
Today, in celebration of the new product, Gunrock Pub is offering an appetizer that includes the organically grown, locally dried tomatoes as a gift from the chef with purchase of an entree.
Also, Tuesday, Nov. 29, Russell Ranch will host a tasting at the UC Davis Bookstore from noon to 2 p.m.
Russell Ranch Dried Tomatoes are grown at UC Davis' Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility, a 300 acre farm west of campus. The organically grown tomatoes are part of a century-long study of agricultural sustainability at the ranch that compares the long-term effects of different ways of farming.
After years of selling tomatoes off campus, Russell Ranch staff began working with UC Davis Dining Services as it sought more sources of locally grown food in order to reduce the carbon footprint of food served on campus. For the past two years, freshly harvested Russell Ranch tomatoes have been used in the Russell Ranch Roasted Tomato Sauce that accompanies a variety of dishes - from pizza to polenta and ratatouille - served on campus.
This year, Russell Ranch staff developed a new limited-quantity product that can be enjoyed on and off campus.
Russell Ranch Dried Tomatoes are also available at the Memorial Union Coffeehouse, the UC Davis Medical Center and for purchase through the UC Davis Bookstore.
$4 for a 2.75 oz bag
$12 for a 9.75 ox bag
Visit the Russell Ranch Dried Tomatoes site and ASI newsroom for more information.

one-time access to each article as a PDF, downloadable from their website.
Agroecology: A Review from a Global-Change Perspective
Tom Tomich, Sonja Brodt, Kate Scow, and affiliated UC Davis faculty formed a
multidisciplinary team to map key components of agroecology. The
article conceptualizes the future of agroecology as a discipline and
seeks to identify forward-looking scientific questions to enhance the
relevance of agroecology for the key challenges of mitigating
environmental impacts of agriculture while dramatically increasing
global food production, improving livelihoods, and thereby reducing
chronic hunger and malnutrition over the coming decades.
Energy Intensity of Agriculture and Food Systems
SAREP's Sonja Brodt is a contributing author for a new article in the
Annual Review of Environment and Resources. The relationships between
energy use in food systems, food system productivity,
and energy resource constraints are complex. Moreover, ongoing changes
in food
production and consumption norms concurrent with urbanization,
and demographic changes underscore the importance of energy use in food
as a food security concern. The article reviews the current state of
knowledge with
respect to the energy intensity of agriculture and food systems and
key drivers and trends in food system energy use along with
opportunities for
and constraints on improved efficiencies.

SAREP to develop solution centers
The UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program is collaborating with Verliant Energy Partners to launch a new approach, called solutions centers, to showcase the latest sustainable solutions to critical issues in agricultural and food systems.
A solution center is a combination of virtual, web-based information portals along with networks of live demonstration sites and technical experts who can provide practical, science-based information to end-users. Each solution center will focus on a specific issue in agriculture and food systems, and will provide guidance on how to adapt information to a wide range of conditions, or different use cases, in California.
"Given the diversity of California agriculture, we prioritize engaging end-users like farmers and cooperative extension farm advisors to help us to develop a structure for solution centers that is highly adaptable, and avoids a one-size-fits-all approach," says Sonja Brodt, Academic Coordinator and SAREP's leader on the first solution center project.
Verliant Energy Partners is partnering with SAREP in the first phase of this launch, to develop a prototype solution center focused on re-purposing agricultural waste streams for bioenergy creation (using anaerobic digesters) and for nutrient capture and re-use. The first steps in this phase are already underway - to organize all UC assets on this topic into a central repository. These assets include existing information and learning tools, as well as an inventory of demonstration sites and researchers.
"Best practices in sustainable agriculture are being sought by the ag industry in general. UC Davis is a thought-leader in this field. Creating a platform on campus to allow easy collaboration and flow of information helps all parties. We are committed to supporting this platform by helping to make the SAREP Solution Center a reality," said Haider Nazar, CEO of Verliant Energy Partners and incoming ASI External Advisory Board member.
"SAREP has 25 years of history connecting UC science with the needs of California farmers and ranchers. With the help of Verliant Energy Partners, we feel SAREP's solution center approach will enhance our ability to assist California agriculture in addressing new challenges and seizing emerging opportunities," said Tom Tomich, Director of SAREP and ASI.

New SAREP report on visioning food hubs in Yolo and Solano counties
Prepared by a team of UC Davis students for the Yolo Ag and Food Alliance, this report examines the plausibility of creating a food hub in Yolo and Solano Counties. Researchers explored recent trends in food hubs across the country and conducted a food system assessment of the two counties. The food system assessment tracks historical trends and data in Yolo and Solano Counties for five sector of the food system: production, processing, distribution, retail, and consumption. By analyzing these sectors, the report provides a context to better understand the viability of a possible food hub in the region and includes exercises and recommendations to help guide the AFA through a planning process.

Food Justice: An Emerging Movement Takes Root
The Agricultural Sustainability Institute (ASI) at UC Davis invites you to join us for:
Food Justice: An Emerging Movement Takes Root
A talk by Robert Gottlieb
Co-author, Food Justice
Director, Urban and Environmental Policy Institute; Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy, Occidental College
When: 4:10-5 pm, Thursday, February 3, 2011
Where: PES 3001, on the UC Davis campus
The talk is free and open to the public; copies of Gottlieb's book Food Justice will be on sale.
About the talk: In today's food system, farm workers may face hazardous conditions, low-income neighborhoods lack supermarkets but abound in fast food franchises, and food products sometimes resemble more of a high calorie chemical mash than a wholesome and healthful product. In opposition to these conditions, a movement for food justice has emerged, which seeks to transform our food system from field to table. Robert Gottlieb, co-author of the new book, Food Justice, will talk about the dynamic food justice groups and organizing efforts, the emerging new politics around food, and the efforts to transform the very language and understanding about food, from how food is grown to why eating has become a political act.
Speaker Bio: Robert Gottlieb is Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Director of the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College. He is the author of a dozen books, including Food Justice (with Anupama Joshi, MIT Press), Reinventing Los Angeles: Nature and Community in the Global City (MIT Press), and Forcing the Spring: The Transformation of the American Environmental Movement (Island Press). He is the editor of two series from MIT Press: Urban and Industrial Environments, and Food, Health, and Environment, and is a long-time social and environmental justice activist and historian of social movements.
