Going Swimmingly
Wired News, Nov. 25-If a boatload
of high-profile reports currently circulating gets enough attention
and funding, researchers expect a worldwide increase in ocean
exploration, netting further drug discoveries and other benefits.

and director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's

A Weapon
in the War on Wrinkle
San Diego Union-Tribune, Nov. 25-Of
the 7 million cosmetic procedures in the United States last
year, about 77 percent were nonsurgical, according to the American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. One of several wrinkle
fillers poised to satisfy the demand from aging baby boomers
looking for minimally invasive ways to help themselves maintain
the look of the youthfulness is Artefill, a permanent treatment
to fill the wrinkles that was invented by Gottfried
H. Lemperle M.D. Lemperle is a clinical
professor in UCSD's Division of Plastic Surgery.

Underwater
Gliders take Flight to New Depths
USA Today, Nov. 24-A century after
the Wright Brothers first took to the skies, the world of flight
is pushing to new depths. Researchers are perfecting innovative
gliders that can swoop and soar on journeys covering hundreds
of miles and lasting for weeks - all deep beneath the ocean
waves. Scientists hope that eventually the gliders could be
used to monitor pollution levels, keep tabs on plankton blooms
and, quite literally, "swim with the fishes" or other
prey. (Quote by Scott Jenkins, an engineer
and glider expert at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.)

'Coyotes' Seen as Villains, Heroes
Arizona Republic, Nov. 25-Violence
associated with the human-smuggling trade across the Mexican
border has become rampant in Arizona, underscored by the discovery
Sunday of three undocumented immigrants found shot execution-style
in the West Valley desert and the Nov. 4 shootout along Interstate
10 between smugglers and a gang that preys on smugglers that
left four immigrants dead and five immigrants wounded or injured.

Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University
