So far so good this weekend. Fun late dinner on Friday, great dinner party by CJ's fireplace on Saturday night. Today...have lots to do as usual...and am looking forward to a productive Sunday!
Oh and yesterday...I bought my first pair of UGGS. They are very unattractive boot/slippers I think...that is what has kept me from buying them before now...I always said I would NEVER buy a pair of UGGS. I should remember never to say never. Yesterday, it was cold out...I was going to Neiman Marcus to pick up some really cute Tory Burch boots I had ordered (and I was wearing my new shiny patent leather very high Christian Louboutin boots just to prance around town...(clearly I'm on a boot shopping spree lately it seems)), when I asked my shoe guy John if they had UGGS at Neiman. They did and they do and so $180 plus tax later I am now the not so proud owner of UGG boots. Oh boy...is the world coming to an end...why do I have these? I must admit they are quite comfy...rule will be though...wear only around the house or if popping out to the market or Starbucks and then coming straight home. No UGG wearing around town for no reason! Right? Admission: I am wearing my UGGS right now...I may not take them off for the day and I have more than one errand to run...hmmm....rule breaking already it seems.
Anyhoooo....enough about UGGS and onto this space... I've been getting a lot of seemingly angry comments from readers who don't like white rooms. Problem seems to be that I love a nice white room...I think if done right, it can be serene, inviting, calming and simple. A white room can have charm and be visually interesting without a drop of color. Take this hallway for instance...love it. Sorry dear readers who hate white walls or white spaces in a home...I have always said I am color-phobe...so please bear with me and my lust for white rooms...I'll try to bring you the most interesting white rooms from time to time...but I must say I do love them...and it is not to make anyone angry or to insult anyone...it is just what my eye is drawn to...hope you understand. I also hope you enjoy today's WEEKEND PHOTO...and please continue to comment even if you don't...that is fine too...I like hearing what you think of my picks!
Happy happy Sunday!

LEED certified buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project.
Each rating system groups requirements that address the unique needs of building and project types on their path towards LEED certification. Once a project team chooses a rating system, they'll use the appropriate credits to guide design and operational decisions.
There are five rating systems that address multiple project types:
Within each of the credit categories, there are specific prerequisites projects must satisfy and a variety of credits projects can pursue to earn points. The number of points the project earns determines its level of LEED certification.
There are four levels of certification - the number of points a project earns determines the level of LEED certification that the project will receive. Typical certification thresholds are:
With new jobs specifying the need for expertise in LEED, you can earn a LEED professional credential to demonstrate your leadership in the field and in-depth knowledge of the LEED rating system and green building strategies.
LEED certification is recognized across the globe as the premier mark of achievement in green building.

Ford Escape Mazda Tribute Care and Maintenance
katz07 Posts: 2After reading some of the postings guess I'm one of the luck ones or unlucky ones. I purchased my 2003 Mazda Tribute new about 2 1/2 years ago. I liked how it drove handled in snow and on ice. Except for a few minor problems like too noisy(highway & gravel)and lots of dust coming in will driving on gravel roads I've had no major problems. I have had one recall which took about 5 months to have fixed kept telling me they didn't have the part.
This was getting close to the time my warrenty was up, they looked at my service book told me everything looked fine. No mention that I should have the transmisson flushed before warrenty was off.
Shortly after warrenty was off the transmisson went, now I have to pay $5000. to have transmisson rebilt. Called dealer to express how unhappy I was about this, didn't seem to care and told us if the transmisson had been flushed probably wouldn't be having this trouble and it wasn't their problem because I hadn't bought extended warrenty. Sounded to me like even if I'd bought the extended warrenty the transmisson wouldn't of been covered because my Tribute wasn't in shop for $48,000 mile service call. This is the first and last time I buy something other than a GM or Dodge. Drove them until they had over 300- 400 thousand with no problems. No Ford for me, Mazda's to closely related :lemon::mad: -
himanshusoni Posts: 1Hello
I went to a mom&pop service shop that was offering free brake inspections and was advised that my front brake pads need to be changed. I have about 35k miles on it and have not noticed any audible signs of problem with my brakes.
I was also told that Mazda tribute is equipped with BMW styled brakes and the front brake pads cannot be changed without changing the rotors.
Could anyone please advise if the fact about rotors is true and what signs should one look for before deciding to replace brakes if the brakes seem to function just fine? -

katz07 Posts: 2:lemon: Have my rebuilt transmission still not very happy.
Was given one year or 20,000 km warrenty on it. That's not much for having paid out $5000. They told me not to worry it would more than likely last longer since they put all the updates on it. Didn't really understand what they all were for, but if there has to be updates made on Mazda transmissions maybe mazda should be letting their customers know. :P -
73deacon Posts: 1I recently found two spots just over the top of the windshield which are now about 5 inches long and two inches wide where the paint is peeling off down to the metal. I also found two spots at the lower corners of the back window. My 2003 Escape has @72,000 miles but is in great condition otherwise. I am waiting for the Ford rep to check it (this week, I hope). The service manager was doubtful that Ford would pay to have it repainted because it is so far out of warranty. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any help from Ford/Mazda in getting it repainted?
utahescape Posts: 2I just waxed my 2003 Escape which has Black paint. I was amazed how many blemishes and places where the paint appears to have fallen off. I have never seen a 3 year old car with this type of paint failure. I see by the other messages that Ford may have an issue.
I would never by another black car. It looks bad 2 days after a wash.
But I am disappointed with Fords fit and finish. I have so many squeaks and rattles in the car it's more like a 20 year old car.
Next time I will go with a Toyota 4runner.

tagger2 Posts: 1My daughter's 2003 Escape is White. It has a patch of paint the size of a sunroof that is peeling off of the primer on top of the car in front of the luggage rack. She only has 30K miles on it. From looking at the many posts here, I don't think that color is the problem, just poor quality at the factory.. but what else is new? I agree with utahescape... next time I will buy a toyota. Made in USA.. just doesn't mean the same as it use to.
Can't wait to hear the run around I get from Ford.. It took us forever for them to have the transmission replaced when it failed only after 22K miles. -
jastump Posts: 1As a matter of fact.... I have exactly the same problem with my paint....in exactly the same areas. I have a 2003 Ford Escape and when I first reported the paint problems to the dealership, it had about 70,000 miles on it. I was told by the dealership (Pearce Ford Motors in Kentucky)that there was nothing that they could do because it had too many miles on it. I'm not happy with Ford's lack of concern and I will be taking further action. It would be nice to have the paint last longer than the payments!
debbiew2 Posts: 1I have a large spot at the bottom of my back window also. Last year I had it at the windshield, the dealership covered it eventhough it was out of warranty. This year they will not. I'm trying to find out how I can locate the Ford rep in my area. To me mileage doesn't have anything to do with the paint. If anyone knows how to contact a Ford rep in the Northern Virginia area, please let me know

fordtough3 Posts: 1I have a 2003 Ford escape with 54,000 miles that has paint peeling in two locations "top of cab near windshield and back hatch near corner of glass. Ford customer service offered to pay half of the Ford dealer $850.00 repair quote. Has anyone had more success in getting the repair paid in full when their lame 36,000 mile "paint" warranty has already expired?
genome1 Posts: 6I purchased a new 2 wheel drive 2005 Tribute 9 months ago. It now has about 14,000 km. An intermittent problem began 2 weeks ago. During braking to a stop (city driving, no ice or rough pavement), there is sudden resistance of the brake pedal combined with the sound of some sort of pump or fan motor from the rear of the car PLUS a distinct acceleration forward; ie it feels as if the car is being pushed forward. Further pressure on the brakes does nothing. In order to stop the car from moving forward, I have to release the brake (which causes the car to surge forward) and immediately hit the brake pedal, which is now working properly and stops the car. The feeling of acceleration and the sound of the "pump" stops as soon as I release the brake and then hit it again. Since this has only happened when I'm braking behind a stopped car, I don't have time to check whether the tachometer is racing; I'm too concerned about rear-ending the vehicle ahead. The dealer has driven the car for a week and has not experienced the problem. He says the ABS system is working properly. I have never been in a situation where ABS has activated. My theories: (i) the ABS system is malfunctioning. Rather than shuddering the car to a stop with its intermittent braking, the ABS is seizing up.
(ii) the faulty accelerator cable problem that resulted in a 2004 Tribute recall exists in my 2005.
However, if the engine were revving, I would hear it from the front of the vehicle. The noise I hear that accompanies the acceleration comes from the rear and sounds like some sort of pump motor, not like the engine at all. This is a front wheel drive vehicle, not all wheel drive. I'm not crazy; my adult daughter was in the car with me once when it happened! -
tveilleux Posts: 15I have had the throttle cable problem in my 2002. It was not related to braking. You are clearly experiencing a problem with the braking system, most probably associated with the ABS since your hear some pump-type of noise from the rear end. The ABS should not be kicking in under normal driving conditions. However, the ABS might be reacting to some external signal that tells it to kick in, so it may be working fine itself. There may be a problem with the master cylinder or power booster that is giving you the hard pedal sensation and fooling the ABS as well.
genome1 Posts: 6Thank you for your astute diagnosis. Now, what's the best strategy to get the problem identified? Mazda Canada has taken the position that they have never heard of it before and won't get involved in the absence of the dealer finding a problem. Because the dealer has been unable to duplicate the occurrence during roadtests over the past week and has found nothing amiss with the ABS, Mazda will not pay for a rental vehicle under my extended warranty. I've just faxed your comments to the dealer. Because this is a significant safety issue, I reported it to Transport Canada today, but I have no idea how aggressive they will be in investigating. The bottom line: I've been without wheels for a week already and I believe it is unwise to accept the vehicle until the problem is resolved. How does one put the screws to Mazda?
Perhaps take the vehicle to a Toyota dealership for diagnosis? -
tribute3 Posts: 2I have a 2002 Tribute and had almost the same issue this evening - many similarities. In my case, the engine would not start. Once started the engine sounded like it was idling extremely high, however the tachometer was at 1.5. All of a sudden there was a loud sound like an explosion out the rear of the car. To be honest, the engine sounded like a race car. I put the car in reverse to back out of the garage - no change in the engine sound. Brakes were not soft, but felt like I had no braking power. Once I backed out of the garage, I shifted to 'Drive' and although my foot was on the brake, the car proceeded to move forward.
I was hoping to drive it to the dealership, but decided it was unsafe. Am having it towed in the morning. Will be happy to let you know what they find out. -
tribute3 Posts: 2I originally reported that my engine was revving although the tachometer did not show it. By the next day, the tachometer was about 3000rpm while in park.
My problem has been corrected. Here's what the dealer found:
The throttle was stuck in the open position due to carbon build-up. Throttle was replaced and carbon cleaned out (induction service). The dealer said that would cause the car to continue moving forward although my foot was on the brake.
I would suggest you take your car to a different dearlership.
Good Luck! -
alanna Posts: 2That should fix the problem for a while. But stand warned. You must have the throttle body cleaned avery 30,000 miles or so. I have a 2002 Tribute and I've had the revving while idling happen several times and had to have the throttle body cleaned numerous times. Once it to 8,000 RPM with the brakes on. If I had let go the brake, who knows. Scary stuff. Good luck.
zoom_ute Posts: 13there should be a fuse for the ABS system that can be pulled or a connector on the controller itself that can be disconnected. This will prevent the ABS controller/pump from doing anything ie you'll just have "standard" brakes. This will set a light on the dash for a fault. You could try this and see if the brakes behave normally...then you know they are mechanically ok and therefore it is something with the controller or it's related systems...ie not a stuck throttle or a bad master cylinder, brake booster, etc.
just an idea! -

CindySFBay Posts: 5I am having very similar problems with my 2003 Mazda Tribute and my Mazda dealer said that they won't be responsible. I have noticed a number of Mazda's in my area with peeled paint. My car has 74000 miles and is almost 6 years old but I don't think that the paint should be peeling off and rusting. Has anyone else had this problem? Who did you contact to resolve this? It would be nice if they paid at least 50% of the repair price.

Got the gluten free pizza. I am very sensitive and did not get sick. The waitress told us they have dedicated equipment to make the pizzas. Very friendly and knowledgable staff.
Both my daughter and I were very sick at the three hour mark after eating the BBQ chicken salad off the gluten free menu. Spoke beforehand to server and manager about gluten "allergy" and high sensitivity. Didn't matter. Two of us still got really sick.
3155 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226
Not a huge selection of GF items, but the pizza is pretty good. The most amazing part is the GF dessert pizza cookie!
515 W. Bay Area Blvd., Webster, TX 77598
Pretty extensive gf menu with all the extra options like pizza toppings well labeled for additional allergies. Went on a Friday night around 6 and it was pretty packed. My food was great (baked potato with chicken, broccoli, and cheese) but the rest of the group was evenly split between finding their food disappointing (burger and chicken fried steak) and enjoyable (pizza).
2670 E Harmony Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80528
Was disappointed at how little of the menu is gf friendly. Food was fine.
5500 Grossmont Cntr Dr, La Mesa, CA 91941
The pros are that they have an allergen chart and a (small) gluten free menu. However, I find that the cons are much greater. Even the gf menu comes with limitations and substitution suggestions. It's not very inclusive of Celiacs like myself. I ordered a wedge salad. It was nothing special. Overall I was not pleased, and would not come here again by choice.
2231 State Highway 6, Sugar Land, TX 77478
Ordered a chicken baked potato off the gf menu and it was so bland. Other menu items have been tasty in the past though. Drinks are good, too.
1370 Frazee Road, San Diego, CA 92108
Not a huge menu but decent choices and it's laid out easily so you can see what choices you have.
107 South 1st Street, Burbank, CA 91502
If you are worried about things like cross contamination, you really need to stay away from this place. The gluten free food tastes delicious, but the servers are barely knowledgeable. Tonight was the last straw. I had one guy (not my server) bring me a pizookie, and when I questioned him he swore it was gluten free. Then I asked him since when do gluten free pizookies not have chocolate in them, since this was a peanut butter cookie, and he took it back and brought me an under baked actual GF pizookie. I've had too many near misses from this place in the past. I cannot afford servers who don't even know what they are bringing me. I'm done with this place, and if your concern is low tolerance for gluten, you should be too.
5037 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
Although I was brought a NON gluten free plate. I made our waiter aware of this, he was very apologetic. Took it back to the kitchen and I was made a new plate. It was AMAZING!!! Delish!!!!!!! I had the balsamic glazed chicken from the gluten free menu!!!!! I will be going back!!
13999 South Virginia Street, Reno, NV 89511
great! the cider is on tap! hot cookie with ice cream on top... enjoy fellow celiacs!!!! enjoy!!!! :-)
4502 S. Steele St., Tacoma, WA 98409
This place was fantastic. Huge gf and/or vegan menu. Amazing food. And they are certified gluten free. Just amazing. Wish they had one in Portland.
7852 Mall Rd, Florence, KY 41042
Excellent food and a nice selection on their special GF menu! We were pleasantly surprised that they now have a GF pizookie!!
19075 IH-45 South, Shenandoah, TX 77385
They have a separate menu for gluten free options and even tasty dessert. I love this place and frequently eat here because it's safe and rarely if ever cross contaminated
8761 Vineland Avenue, Orlando, FL 32821
Had a wonderful meal tonight - tomato bisque soup and tomato and mozzarella salad! My kids had a gluten free cheese pizza and it was very good. Save room for the Gf pizookie with ice cream on top!
4502 S. Steele St., Tacoma, WA 98409
Amazing gluten free thin crust pizza! Would definitely go there again. Celiac friendly, and very nice people who are careful when making the food.
1325 Rancho Vista Blvd., Palmdale, CA 93551
I have several allergies. And they were able to deal with being gluten free and tomato free with no problem thums up as far as I'm concerned
1101 N. Central Expressway, Plano, TX 75075
Gf pizza good, but not many other choices.
7852 Mall Rd, Florence, KY 41042
enjoyed the gf pizza for lunch. offer a gf cookie dessert.
5037 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
My first experience there was okay due to the waiter's lack of knowledge of the gluten free knowledge. The second time was amazing! the pizza and pizookie were incredible and service was magnificent. My top choice for gluten free food!
4151 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839
My expectations after I read all this amazing reviews here have been so high, but the Pizza was really disappointing. The dough tasted exactly like the frozen GF Pizza you can get in Traders Joes, but the tomato sauce tasted really strange. For this stuff I don't have to pay that much. What I really appreciate is that they have a hugh list with so many allergens, that helps a lot.
925 Blossom Hill Road, San Jose, CA 95123
We had a gluten free pizza and salad. Tasted great. No problems.
4502 S. Steele St., Tacoma, WA 98409
Had lunch there, they have an awesome GF menu, it's not huge but I felt better knowing what's in the food and they have a very good GF pizza crust.
2421 W. Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee, FL 34741
Amazing! I love their pizza and have never had a reaction from it (I'm pretty sensitive so that's saying a lot). Ate here today and the kitchen manager came out to rep over the menu with me, take my order, and personally made my GF pizza! I love their pizza so much that I got a second one Togo!
385 Sun Valley Mall, Concord, CA 94520
Gluten free pizza ordered with no cheese. No issues! Requested extra mushrooms once it came out and they brought a ton of them. At 12:30am!
5929 W Waco Dr, Waco, TX 76710
Always accommodating and careful of cross contamination
3200 Expressway 83, McAllen, TX 78501
I love the gf pizza! You can also get a pizookie ( desert cookie with ice cream). I haven't had any problems eating here.
2514 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Did not get sick! The kitchen mgr explained to me how they cleaned, prepped and sanitized they gf area. That they take it very seriously. I ordered the gf Santa Fe salad with chicken and shrimp. I had vinegar and olive oil as my dressing. My waiter even talked of avoiding cross contamination! I have celiac and am very sensitive.
204 E. Via Rancho, Escondido, CA 92025
I get great gluten free pizza for here and I have never gotten sick. I love this place :) And the gluten free pizzookie is the best dessert! Gluten free hot chocolate chip cookie in a pan covered in ice cream! Yum
7960 East Kellogg Dr N, Wichita, KS 67207
I would say the gluten free pizza was average. The pazzookie and ice cream was delicious though. Omission GF beer was a nice IPA.
11520 4th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
Gluten free pizza, soup, and chocolate chip cookie were awesome, and I had no problems afterwards. I definitely recommend this place for Celiacs looking for a good place to eat out.
5613 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92008
The waiter did not know much about how the GF food was prepared in the kitchen. Menu was not great. We are dairy free too.
10446 Town Center Drive, Westminster, CO 80021
Always great. .. the balsamic chicken and horseradish mashed potatoes are my new comfort meal.
9401 Sage Meadow Trail, Fort Worth, TX 76177
I think this is celiac friendly it is delicious I have never gotten sick

Gluten free pizza is great! They double and triple check that the toppings are gluten free and make sure the kitchen staff knows.
14442 East Cedar Ave, Aurora, CO 80012
I go here often, always get the GF pizza and berry burst cider. I've never gotten sick from gluten here. (Note: I had been getting bacon on the pizza, but recently a waitress informed me the bacon is not safe for celiacs. So now I get the Italian sausage.) Fun place!

The GF cheese pizza is delicious!!! The staff is well versed with GF requirements. The manager also stopped by to see if we had any other dietary restrictions.
2425 W. Memorial Road, Oklahoma City, OK 73134
Amazing staff and delicious GF pizza!!! I placed my order to go online. Shortly after ordering they called to inform me that one of the toppings I selected was not GF and would I like to cancel that topping. So awesome and considerate!

The pizza was okay. It reminded me of every other gf crust I've had...thin and not very tasty.
10446 Town Center Drive, Westminster, CO 80021
Very good gluten free pizza with house made crust. Had a very good berry flavored gluten free cider. Waitress eats gluten free as well and was very pleasant.
3531 N. Freeway Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834
Good for a chain restaurant. Be sure to tell your waiter/waitress about being GF. Double check before you eat anything. I've only had a couple of instances where there was a minor slip up. They are quick to fix it though but you must be cautious.
2670 E Harmony Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80528
They had the best pizza crust .. it tasted like a regular thin pizza..would definitely recommend.
5150 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80918
Burt the manager was very helpful. My food was good and I even got the gf cookie. They told me all gf items are prepared with dedicated equipment so it seems like it's pretty safe. I can see how if wait staff is not careful one could get glutened so I think one must not be afraid to ask questions. I wish their menu was a little broader but I will try BJs again!

Bruce Taylor, chief executive officer at Taylor Farms, said Aug. 8 that the salad mix had been sent to thousands of restaurants via 14 distributors. He said the salad mix containing iceberg and romaine lettuce, red cabbage and carrots went to all of the states that reported cyclospora infections, as well as other states.
The FDA has consistently said Taylor Farms is cooperating with the investigation.
"This voluntary action goes beyond the implicated salad mix and includes iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, red cabbage, green cabbage and carrots," the FDA's Aug. 12 update states. "The action of Taylor Farms de Mexico exemplifies the company's cooperation with federal and state officials throughout this ongoing, complicated investigation."

text: I'm into photography and needed a good pair of hiking boots for my photo tours. That means carrying my rather heavy gear through snow, mud, rain, ponds, rocks, sand, hills, and other challenging terrain. I have owned other Merrell products and selecting these was a no-brainer. These boots are super comfy right out of the box, my feet and ankle feel very well supported, and after 4 or 5 high demanding hikes, I can say they have passed the test with flying colors.

Jobs and Internships at ASI
Positions available at the Agricultural Sustainability Institute and its affiliated programs are posted on this page. UC Davis positions can be found at employment.ucdavis.edu.
Staff and Academic Positions
UCD Grad Student Research Position in almond processing and distribution
The candidate will contribute to research under the project entitled "A Baseline Life Cycle Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Almond Processing and Distribution". The candidate will be a graduate student in good standing at UC Davis (exceptional candidates who have recently graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor's or Master's degree will also be considered for appointment as a Junior Specialist).
The researcher will be a key contributor to a project funded by the Almond Board of California to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) of almond processing and transport. LCA is a method that quantifies environmental impacts "from cradle to grave." This project will build on previous research that has characterized the life cycle air emissions and energy use from orchard cultivation through hulling and shelling operations.
The preferred applicant will have knowledge of some or all of the following: (1) spatial modelling of transportation systems (GIS, transport network analysis, etc.) to support modeling of domestic and international shipping of almonds, (2) spreadsheet-based modeling and analysis, and (3) food processing facilities/technologies/practices. Other desired qualifications include experience or knowledge of survey development, knowledge of energy systems and transportation fuels and their emissions, and life cycle assessment or carbon/energy footprinting.
The position is expected to support a GSR for 3 quarters at 50% (or a Junior Specialist at 100%). If a student is hired who does not have knowledge of LCA, the student will be expected to enroll in ECI244 – Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Engineering in the fall of 2014.
How To Apply:
Send a current CV, a cover letter summarizing your interest in this position and your most relevant background and skills, and 2 references who will be contacted if you are interviewed for the position. Please send to Dr. Alissa Kendall, at email@example.com, and cc Dr. Sonja Brodt (firstname.lastname@example.com), with the subject line "Application for Almond Processing and Distribution Position."
Application review will begin Sept. 1 and the position will remain open until filled. Applications received after Sept 1 will be considered if the position is not yet filled.
Wells Fargo Water Irrigation Post-doctoral Fellow

monitoring. The goal of this research, funded by Wells Fargo, is to improve
irrigation management practices at Russell Ranch through adequate design and
operation of field irrigation systems (surface and micro-irrigation) as well as
installation of multi-user
electro-mechanic hydro-valves (Hydropass), water meters, water-front advance
sensors, soil moisture sensors and other water-status monitoring devices for improving
and automating irrigation water delivery, as well as for systematic data
gathering, analysis and record-keeping that are functional to pre-season
irrigation planning, in-season scheduling and post-season performance
evaluations. The post-doctoral fellow will also be responsible
for: conducting outreach of project rationale and achievements through targeted
meetings with growers and water-related agencies, workshops and websites,
project-reporting and proposal writing to continue the Wells Fargo Water and
Irrigation Initiative and peer-review publication writing on research findings
and extension/outreach outcomes. The initial appointment is for
one year, full-time, with additional year(s) contingent upon funding and mutual
agreement. The position includes health insurance and other benefits.
The University of California, Davis, is an affirmative action/equal opportunity
employer with a strong institutional commitment to the development of a climate
that supports equality of opportunity and respect for differences.
The candidate must have a PhD in Hydrology, Soil Science, Irrigation Science,
Irrigation Engineering, Water Resources, Agronomy or a related field, with a
preference for research experience in irrigation science and engineering, and
soil moisture monitoring and management. Candidates are desired to have knowledge
of agricultural systems, irrigation dynamics (e.g., pressurized delivery
networks, and different field irrigation methods) irrigation performance
analysis, modeling and evaluation, and water monitoring (e.g., automatic,
semi-automatic irrigation scheduling systems) and the ability to design
solutions enabling irrigation monitoring. A pro-active communicator is desired,
as well as strong writing abilities, outreach skills and experience with
statistical analysis.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Obama to visit Australia in November
Sep 12, 2011, 20:15 GMT
Washington - US President Barack Obama is to travel in November to
Australia to mark the 60th anniversary of the defence agreement between
the two nations, the White House said Monday.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard invited Obama to Australia from
November 16-17 for the anniversary of the ANZUS alliance.
Obama will make the trip from Hawaii, where he and other Pacific leaders
will be attending the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders'
conference earlier that month.
Talks between Obama and Gillard 'will provide the two leaders an
opportunity to build on the APEC agenda and expand bilateral cooperation
to increase global economic growth, trade and jobs,' the White House said.
They will also discuss issues ahead of the East Asia Summit that week in
