U.S. to Speed Up Immigrant Deportations
Guardian UK, Aug. 11-The day before President Bush was to campaign in Arizona and New Mexico, the Homeland Security Department announced it
would hasten deportations of illegal immigrants who are not Mexican or
Canadian citizens. The department also said it would grant legal Mexican
visitors up to one month, rather just three days, to visit or do business in U.S. communities close to the southern border. (Quote by Gordon Hanson, an economics professor at the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University
of California, San Diego.)

Pediatricians Overlook Kawasaki Disease in Extremes of Pediatric Age Ranges
Medical News Today, Aug. 11-Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report in the August 10 issue of Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal that a significant number of pediatric physicians fail to diagnose Kawasaki disease in children younger than six months and older than eight years. This childhood disease is reported in about 5,000 children a year in the United States. First author, Pia Pannaraj, M.D., UCSD pediatric resident, said a previous study showed that delayed diagnosis of Kawasaki disease was a significant risk factor in the development of coronary abnormalities that can lead to heart muscle damage and deadly aneurysms.

Global Warming Threatening Animal Kingdom?

Marine scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, found that animals living in the very deep ocean have been affected by the climate change at the surface, reports UPI. The scientists, Henry Ruhl and Kenneth Smith, studied mobile sea cucumbers, brittlestars and other marine creatures that live about four kilometres deep in the northeastern Pacific.

Signs of El Niño Give Hope for Rainy Winter
San Diego Union-Tribune, Aug. 11-Far out in the equatorial Pacific, beginning near New Guinea and shifting to 2,500 miles west of the Galapagos Islands, surface waters have been warming - a strong sign of a developing El Niño this winter. It is too early to tell how much rain may fall, but San Diego County would be thankful for any precipitation it can get. Amid a six-year drought, the region ended the last rainy season in May with 5.18 inches - less than half the normal amount. (Quote by Tim Barnett, a researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.)

Juror Decides Art's Fate: to Hang or Not to Hang
San Diego Union-Tribune, Aug. 11-The Del Mar Art Center welcomed local artists July 31 to its fourth juried exhibition this year. Each artist brought for consideration three original paintings, pastels, oils or other media no larger than 24 by 30 inches framed. If accepted, artists would be invited to join the nonprofit art center for a year and display their work. At the end of two months, they need to retrieve the art that has not been sold. The juror, Elaine Harvey, has taught art for more than 20 years, most recently at the Atheneum in La Jolla and at the University of California, San Diego.
