Labs up
for grabs
The Scientist, May 20 – University
and medical trade groups recently warned the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) that lack of lab space is a "significant
constraint for new research." Yet the plea for money to
build new facilities comes as many areas of the country report
falling prices and rising vacancy rates for shiny new laboratories
that were once the pride of the biotech boom. Research real
estate specialists say current conditions could mean bargains
for schools adroit in dealing on the open market for lab space.

SDSU graduates largest
nursing class
San
Diego Union-Tribune, May 18 – The 61 women
and six men who graduated from San Diego State University's
School of Nursing yesterday represent the largest nursing class
in its history, a size enlarged through $2 million in grants
from 10 area hospital systems desperate to find more nurses.
Several hospital nursing directors said they're delighted with
the SDSU result. "It's a hallmark of the state," said
Mary Middleton, director of nursing at University
of California, San Diego. "The hospitals told
SDSU to make sure you keep producing good nurses, and we would
help you do it."

San Diego Union-Tribune, DIANE BELL,
May 20 – Reporters and TV cameras packed the San Diego
City Council meeting yesterday to interview council members
in the wake of the federal investigation that brought the FBI
to City Hall last week. The meeting started out with the declaration
of "Mary Walshok Day," causing Councilman
Jim Madaffer to comment that the honoree, a University
of California, San Diego administrator, certainly knew
how to attract the press. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/uniontrib/tue/metro/news_1m20bell.html
