New York Times, Dec. 2-In the lowly
muck of Norwegian fjords, clams go to great lengths, literally,
to please their bacterial guests, researchers say. Suzanne
C. Dufour and Horst Felbeck M.D. of
the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, studied
several species of clams gathered from fjords. The small bivalves
are host to sulfide-reducing bacteria in a symbiotic relationship:
in return for shelter, the bacteria provide carbohydrates to
the clams, using sulfide in the sediments rather than oxygen
as fuel.

What's a World-Class UC Worth?
Sacramento Bee, Opinion, Nov. 30-Since
his election, governor Schwarzenegger hasn't repeated his campaign
pledge not to touch the education budget. That suggests that,
beneath the Pepsodent smile he has some idea just how tough
the arithmetic is going to be. Candidate Schwarzenegger was
right to say that education is the future, but education is
also a very big item in the budget, and he will surely be tempted
to squeeze it. An obvious target is the University of California,
which owns and operates three of the 20 most important research
universities in the United States, including UC San
Diego.
