Nothingness
San Diego Union-Tribune, Mar. 5 –
This article discusses the study of "nothingness"
in the universe. The writer states that the meaning of nothingness
is a persistent philosophical conundrum, but it is also a matter
of intense, if somewhat unrequited, scientific inquiry on both
the largest and smallest of scales. (Quotes Kim Griest,
an astrophysicist at University of California, San Diego).

A city poised for the future
San
Diego Union-Tribune, OPINION, Mar. 5 – Mary
L. Walshok, an associate vice chancellor for public
programs at University of California, San Diego
and Laurie J. Black wrote an opinion piece about the promising
developments and initiatives that can affect our future in a
positive way. Several studies and independent initiatives have
been completed, and some are being implemented, which we hope
will converge into an integrated strategy to assure that San
Diego becomes one of the great cities of the 21st century.
