Purebred
Dogs Look Like Their Owners
NBC News, March 31-Those who think
purebred dogs look like their owners are barking up the right
tree, but matching a mutt to its master is another thing, says
a new study co-authored by UCSD professor psychology,
Nicholas Cristenfeld. Research at the University
of California, San Diego indicates that when people
pick a dog, they look for one that, at some level, bears some
resemblance to them. And when they get a purebred dog, they
get what they want. When given a choice of two dogs, judges
correctly matched 25 purebreds with their owners nearly two
out of three times. With mutts, however, the pattern went to
the dogs. http://www.nbc5.com/news/2962785/detail.html?z=dp&dpswid=2265994&dppid=65172

Kerry and Bush Campaigns Trade Charges
on Gas Price
New York Times, March 31-Pointing
to California gasoline prices as high as $2.37 a gallon for
premium, Senator John Kerry blamed the Bush administration's
energy policies Tuesday for the nation's rising fuel costs,
while the president's campaign introduced a television commercial
attacking Mr. Kerry's past support of gas taxes. During a campaign
rally held in front of hundreds of students at the University
of California, San Diego, Mr. Kerry seized on the rising
gas prices, which have roused voters' ire, to begin a broad
assault on areas where he believes President Bush is vulnerable,
including Iraq and the environment.

College Athletics in a Run for Its Money
Los Angeles Times, March 31-Budget
cuts have many of the state's universities scrambling to save
sports programs. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004-05
budget calls for $6.8 billion in statewide spending cuts, roughly
$524 million coming from higher education. Intercollegiate athletic
programs would lose between 8% and 10% of their funds, and administrators
are planning for the worst. (Quote by Earl Edwards,
the Athletic Director at UC San Diego.)

Charter Schools
Copley News Service, March 30-More
than 800 members of The California Charter Schools Association
have converged this week in Sacramento for their annual convention.
Their timing is fortuitous because today the Assembly Education
Committee will consider a charter school measure that deserves
prompt passage. The bipartisan bill by Assemblywoman Pat Bates,
R-Laguna Niguel, Sens. Dede Alpert, D-Coronado, and Chuck Poochigian,
R-Fresno, would allow public colleges and universities to sponsor
charter schools directly. Many respected universities and colleges
already are connecting with public schools. An impressive example
is The Preuss School at the University of California
San Diego.

Report Says California Climbs in High-Tech
Rankings
San Diego Union-Tribune, March 31-After
surviving the bursting of the dot-com bubble and mass layoffs
in Silicon Valley, California has polished its position as a
high-tech powerhouse, according to a report released today by
Santa Monica's Milken Institute. California ranks better than
any other state for its dense concentration of high-tech firms
and ranks among the highest for its venture capital environment,
number of fast-growing firms, households with Internet access
and the amount of government spending for higher education.
All of those things fuel high-tech development, especially higher
education. UC San Diego, there's a new $ 400
million center for wireless education.

Audit Firm
Quits San Diego's Maxwell Technologies
San Diego Union-Tribune, March 31-San
Diego's Maxwell Technologies said yesterday that Deloitte &
Touche resigned as its independent auditing firm, taking the
company and its board by surprise. The resignation came after
the accounting firm, which was hired a year ago, completed its
work on Maxwell's 2003 financial statement and endorsed the
annual report with no disclaimer or adverse opinion. (Quote
by Michael Willoughby, a professor of accounting
at the University of California San Diego.)
