What’s
Next; Exploding Universe Of Web Addresses
The New York Times, July 17—
New technology is draining the stockpile of a system of Internet
Protocol addresses. Those are the arcane number combinations
separated by three periods, such as 1.123.10.250, that are assigned
to every device, including cellphones and hand-held organizers,
that communicate over the Internet. (Quote by Larry
Smarr, a professor of computer science and engineering
at the University of California at San Diego.)

San Diego Union-Tribune, July 17—After
El Niño-driven storms battered the West Coast in 1982
and 1997, scientists wondered whether global warming could be
making the periodic weather phenomenon more intense. But a study
by researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
has shown that the severity of recent El Niños is hardly
unprecedented. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/uniontrib/thu/metro/news_1m17elnino.html

Diego Union-Tribune, Opinion, July 16— If
the respite in the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis
is to be more enduring than ephemeral, then the road map to

The Bush
administration versus global warming
San Diego Union-Tribune, Opinion,
July 17— The reported recent tampering, by the Bush administration,
with the climate change section of a major Environmental Protection
Agency report is only the latest evidence that the president
and his advisers are determined to denigrate the entire issue

Oceanography.)

Herculean
Wisdom
San Diego Union-Tribune, July 17—
Seeing parallels between an ancient text and modern times, the
theatrical innovator Peter Sellars hatched a plan to stage "Children
of Herakles," an early, almost-never-seen drama by Euripides,
the most psychologically astute of the Greek playwrights. A
new, fluid and accessible translation by UCSD
scholar Marianne McDonald, commissioned by
producer Dale Morris, begins previews tonight at Sixth@Penn
Theatre in Hillcrest.
