on Interstate 5 in northern San Diego. Between 30 and 40 students

not appear that any of the injuries were serious.

7-Fish, whales, dolphins, crabs, seabirds, and just about everything
else that makes a living in or off of the oceans owe their existence
to phytoplankton, one-celled plants that live at the ocean surface.
But how does the ocean supply the nutrients that phytoplankton
need to survive and to support everything else that makes a
living in or off the ocean? Robert Frouin,
a research meteorologist with the Scripps Institution
of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, said understanding
the process by which phytoplankton obtains ocean nutrients is
important to understanding the link between the ocean and global
climate. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/06/0607

Business
Week, June 14-A house is most Americans' most
valuable asset, and lately it has been the best-performing.
In some ways, though, it's the least understood component of
the average investment portfolio. (Quote by Marjorie
Flavin, an economist at the University of California,
San Diego.)

Alzheimer's
Research Brings Hope For Cure
San Diego Channel, Channel 10, June
7-President Ronald Reagan once described Alzheimer's disease
as a journey that would take him into the sunset of his life.
But that sunset came years before his death. Reagan suffered
from the mind-robbing disease for 10 years. It is a crippling
journey thousands of San Diegans and their families are experiencing.
But new research is bringing hope for a cure. (Quote by Leon
Thal M.D., an Alzheimer's researcher at University
of California, San Diego.)

to Tonys
San
Diego Union-Tribune, June 7-Jack O'Brien is not
the first San Diego theater star to win two directing Tonys.
UCSD La Jolla Playhouse's Des McAnuff landed
two on his bookshelf - for "Big River" in 1985 and
"The Who's 'Tommy' " in 1993. And both O'Brien's Old
Globe and McAnuff's La Jolla Playhouse have won the Tony for
outstanding regional theater - the Globe in 1984 and the Playhouse
in 1993.

San Diego Union-Tribune, Diane Bell,
June 8-Many San Diegans remember Ronald Reagan's farewell rally
at the S.D. Community Concourse on Nov. 7, 1988, just before
he ended his second term as president. UCSD
Vice Chancellor Jim Langley met Reagan when
Langley was just 6 years old. His dad, Edward
Langley, was Reagan's speechwriter when the former president
was a spokesman for General Electric in the 1950s.
