Hackers Target Supercomputers
CBS News, April 15-Hackers have broken into some of the world's most powerful computer clusters in recent weeks in an apparently coordinated cyber attack targeting research and academic institutions. Although officials sought Wednesday to downplay the seriousness of the threats, some security experts warned that such a break-in could potentially enable a serious attack on the Internet. Stanford University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications were among the systems hit.

UCSD Chancellor
San Diego Union-Tribune, Editorial, April 14-If UCSD's notoriously strong-willed faculty members were skeptical about the arrival this week of Marye Anne Fox as the university's seventh chancellor, she did a great deal to put their minds at ease. At a reception for faculty and students after her unanimous confirmation by the UC Board of Regents, "she pretty much won everybody over. It was a love fest," according to one participant.

Study Says Test-Tube Multiple Births are Finally Declining
USA Today, April 14- A worrisome national surge in multiple births linked to test-tube technology is easing, largely because doctors are implanting fewer embryos during each attempt to make a woman pregnant, a study suggests. Doctors routinely place several embryos in the womb at once to improve the odds of producing a baby - a technique that sometimes works all too well and leads to twins, triplets or other multiple births. But technical advances and the advent of professional guidelines appear to have led to more sparing use of embryos, the study's researchers reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. (Quote by Frank Mannino M.D., who specializes in newborn care at University of California, San Diego.)

Hospital Voice Badge Provides Instant Communication
San Diego Channel, April 14-Doctors and nurses at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center are testing a new communication system that instantly connects them to each other. It's called the Vocera Badge, by Vocera Communications System, and it's a hands-free device that lets nurses and doctors continue to care for patients at the bedside, instead of spending time returning a page or phone call. (Quote by UCSD nurse manager, Beverly Kress.)

Doug Hall at UCSD's University Art Gallery
Artweek, April 2004-Doug Hall's capacity to provoke isn't obvious in his recent exhibition In Finite Space at UCSD's University Art Gallery. He just gently prods our thoughts with each image we look at. Hall, who has been challenging social mores since the 1970's has reached a point where his commentary no longer has to be in the viewer's face.

Miami Herald-Tribune, April 15-An economist for the nation's mortgage bankers says a rise in mortgage rates is coming, but their impact on a heated housing market and on possibly softening prices will depend upon how fast they climb.(Quote by Ross Starr, an economist at the University of California, San Diego.)

Newer Drugs May Help Elderly Schizophrenics
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, April 15-A new class of antipsychotic drugs may offer improved relief for elderly people with schizophrenia, says an international study in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. These atypical antipsychotic drugs have generally proven to be more effective and to cause fewer side effects than conventional antipsychotic drugs, study author Dilip V. Jeste M.D., director of the Advanced Center for Interventions and Services Research at the University of California, San Diego and VA San Diego Healthcare System, says in a prepared statement.

Analyzing the "Sins" of Wal-Mart
Business Week, April 15- After losing a bitter battle to build a store in Inglewood, Calif., Wal-Mart might like to write off the humiliating defeat at the ballot box as an isolated event. But an unusual one-day conference at the University of California Santa Barbara on Apr. 12 suggests that the world's largest retailer ain't seen nothing yet.

Sick, dying sea otters turn up in Morro Bay
San Francisco Chronicle, April 15-More than 20 California sea otters, nearly 1 percent of the wild population, have turned up dead or sick around Morro Bay over the past week, most likely the victims of a natural marine toxin, scientists said Wednesday. In recent years, domoic acid has been found in sea water in Monterey Bay, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. On Friday, researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla reported that domoic acid was found in sea water as far south as San Diego. The toxin may be responsible for sea lion strandings in Southern California this year.
