A very good example of that type of integration can be seen with the research and Extension programs.

Clutter is the nemesis of a speedy computer. Unfortunately, many computer makers ship machines with gobs of bloatware that most customers never use even once. On top of the direct-from-manufacturer junk software, the average user tends to install dozens of programs and add-ons over the course of months and years. In the aggregate, these items can take their toll on the performance of your computer. Many programs add themselves to the list of items that start up whenever the computer is rebooted, which can make restarting the computer a bit like watching paint dry. And remember, the more programs you have installed, the more time you have to spend keeping them up to date with the latest security patches. For example, Java is a powerful program and Web browser plugin that most people have on their machines but seldom use (the bulky program also adds itself to the startup menu in Windows every time you update it). Meanwhile, attackers are constantly targeting systems with outdated versions of this software. If you don't need Java, uninstall it. You can always reinstall it if you find it is needed for some website or third-party application. If you can't bring yourself to completely remove Java or if you have desktop programs that require it, consider unhooking it from the browser by disabling the Java add-on in whatever browser you use.<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"'>NEW PUBLICATIONS:<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/crops/az1593.pdf">2012 Cotton Variety Testing Results</a> by Randy Norton , Shawna Loper, Linda Masters (retired), Ayman Mostafa, Kurt Nolte<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 EVENT:<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><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Wednesday, March 13, 12-12:30pm</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> - Wednesday Walk led by president Hart.
