While the educational aspect of the UACE mission still exists today and is a strong component of all programs, the UACE programs in many states have evolved to include translational and applied research. This blend of research and Extension education has become the standard that we see in the UACE model today.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The development of UACE programs in CALS and the UA has been quite distinct in the past 25 years. This has been partly a function of basic necessity but this has rendered a very robust model that provides a solid synchrony between the translational and applied research programs in CALS with the Extension education components that we deliver. When new problems or questions are encountered through the delivery and interactions of a UACE education program, the UACE faculty have had the capacity to respond in a direct manner by developing and implementing appropriate research projects to address the specific questions or issues that arise. In turn, the information produced from the research programs that UACE faculty direct then serves as the basic substrate from which the next stages of the education programs are developed. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>From this dynamic mix of research embedded within the UACE education programs of CALS, the UACE faculty provides the dominant element of translational and applied research. That is not to say that UACE faculty are the sole providers of translational and applied research in CALS but they certainly carry that responsibility in a substantial and productive manner in this college. The good part is that UACE faculty provides strong and unique expertise in CALS in terms of providing the delivery of science, technology, and new information to the public beyond the university and academic community. However, one of the challenges we face in the future is to better connect to the basic science programs in CALS and develop a stronger and fully integrated continuum across the full spectrum of basic, translational, and applied science. The need and opportunities are certainly present. Our challenge is how to best foster the development of that linkage as we move our organization and programs forward in the next five to ten years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>FOCUS ON FACULTY:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>On March 6 at the UA Innovation Day event, Sharon Megdal received the University of Arizona Leading Edge Award in recognition of her innovative research. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGPLwT6IABk">Check out the video</a> shown at the event.

If available, pick the "slim" version at the bottom of the page, as that version does not have a toolbar packaged with the software. The key to recovering a deleted file is to not use the device (hard drive, digital camera card, etc.) that has the deleted file, because each write to that device makes it more likely that the deleted file will be overwritten. For hard drives, it means installing the software before you need it. For removable devices, the software may be installed without disturbing the removable device. Recuva's File Recovery Wizard will guide you through the recovery process and provides an indication of how successful the recovery for each deleted file found on the device is likely to be. You might be surprised at how many deleted files that you thought were long gone show up in the "deleted files found" list.<span style='color:red'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>NEW PUBLICATION:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/water/az1554.pdf">What You Should Know When You're Having Your Septic System Inspected for the Transfer of Ownership Program</a> by Kitt Farrell-Poe, Jake Garrett and Dawn Long<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>UPCOMING EVENTS:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The 21st Annual Desert Horticulture Conference, <b>May 18</b>, is taking this year's tagline "2.1: Reprogrammed" literally.
