New Ocean Science Effort Proposed
MSNBC, Nov. 4-Undiscovered foods, useful chemicals and drugs, and potential sources of energy may lie in wait in the least-explored portion of Earth - the oceans. A new effort to seek out those resources was recommended Tuesday in a report by the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences. John Orcutt, deputy director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and chairman of the committee that prepared the report, said vast portions of the oceans have not been examined for geochemical and biological resources.

How Business Influences Education in San Diego
San Diego Metropolitan, Sept 2003-James M. Langley is UCSD's vice chancellor for external relations, where he is about halfway through a $1 billion fund-raising campaign.

They come back and say, 'The most valuable classes I took here were outside my major.'"

It attained this honor in August 2001 by meeting rigorous standards for cancer research, prevention, control and education.

Sempra Sees 40.6% Gain in Net Income
San Diego Union-Tribune, Nov. 7-Sempra Energy showed yesterday just how erratic the energy business can be when it posted third-quarter financial results beyond expectations thanks to incentive awards and a legal settlement with California regulators.
