TRANSCRIPT
Nobel laureate Roger Tsien now hasanother honor to house alongside
his Nobel Prize in chemistry, which heshared with fellow researchers Osamu Shi-momura and Martin Chalfie four yearsago. On Aug. 19, Tsien was honored at the19th annual Luau and Longboard Invita-tional with the Rell Sunn Award, anhonor bestowed on someone in the com-munity who has displayed a strong will, unselfish-ness and compassion in the war against cancer.
The UCSD pharmacology, chemistry and bio-chemistry professor and Howard Hughes MedicalInstitute investigator has dedicated his life and career
to cancer research, making incrediblestrides in the field that is near and dear tohis heart.
His drive to advance existing cancerremedies and treatments stems from afirsthand experience watching his ownfather battle prostate cancer and ulti-mately lose his life to pancreatic cancer.
“My motivation to help develop new,more effective cancer treatments comes
from my knowledge of the limitations of currenttherapies,” he said. “I’ve also always wanted to dosomething clinically relevant in my career, if possi-ble, and cancer is the ultimate challenge.”
A recent homeowners associationmeeting at Ventana in La Jolla was allabout saving a huge tree and updat-ing the look of the gated communityof 168 homes overlooking canyonsand ocean atop Mt. Soledad.
But not all residents were sold on aproposal pitched to them by a land-scape architect who said what’s real-ly needed is an estimated $200,000makeover of the community’s entry-way guardhouse.
“I call it lackluster. It seems old andtired. This guardhouse really repre-
sents your communitypoorly,” landscape archi-tect David Reed told a room-ful of homeowners at a spe-cial meeting of VentanaCommunity Council onAug. 14 at the condo com-munity’s clubhouse at1570 Alta La Jolla Drive. “You look atthe other places, Crystal Bay andEmerald Cove — your adjacentneighborhoods that really competewith Ventana in the marketplace —they really have something muchmore. It’s all about curb appeal. Andthey have some things you don’t
have.”Reed contrasted the superior sign
identification and more elegant “pre-sentation” with “lots of green” evi-dent in the newer Crystal Bay andEmerald Cove developments’ entry-ways with what he described as Ven-tana’s “reverse presentation.”
“You go downhill and away from
the site, so you don’t get that instantpicture,” he said.
Reed said Ventana’s guardhouseneeds a new door, better windows, arealistic interior and could use interi-or lighting as well.
Ambassador anddiplomat Dennis Rossknows what a high-pressure job is like.
As the director ofpolicy planning in theState Department dur-ing the first Bushadministration andas a special envoy tothe Middle East underPresident Clinton, hespent more than 12years playing a lead-ing role in shaping U.S. involvement in theMiddle East peace process. He dealt directlywith various parties and heads of state, andhad a hand in negotiating peace in one of themost volatile regions in the world. Mostnotably, he was instrumental in helping tobroker the 1997 Hebron Accord and facili-tated the 1994 Israel-Jorden peace treaty. Healso assisted in bringing Israel and Syriatogether.
On Aug. 26, Ross will be the keynote speak-er at the eighth annual Yom Limmud, a com-munity day of learning sponsored by the Jew-ish Federation of San Diego County and heldat the Jewish Community Center.

On the morning of Aug. 13, twobuses pulled up to the La Jolla YMCA.They were filled with youth campers— but not the regular campers thatfill the Y’s various summer camps.These buses carried roughly 130 stu-dents from downtown’s MonarchSchool, a nonprofit catering to stu-dents affected by homelessness.
Campers ranging in age from 5 to18 participated in a variety of camps,from sports and specialty camps tounique experiences like junkyarddrumming and water park camp. Formany of the students, who havecome from housing situations thathave involved shelters, motels, carsand the streets, this would be theirfirst camp experience.
“At first, some were really shy andwould only talk to each other,” saidAkeem Miller of Rookie Sports. “Youhave to understand where they’recoming from. We’ve really worked toinclude everybody and they’ve gottenmore and more comfortable. Whenwe won the spirit assembly, they wentcrazy! You just have to earn theirtrust.”
The campers returned every dayfor one week, from Aug. 13-17,checking off experiences that manyhad never had before, like swimming.A number of the visiting teens wereenrolled in a specialized leadershipcamp designed specifically for themand led by Michelle Grindle, unit lead-er for La Jolla’s Leader In Trainingprogram. The week included visits tothe University of San Diego, SolidRock Gym, The Wave Waterpark andLa Jolla Shores with a curriculum

“The kids are great,” saidGrindle. “I’d love to see themback here next year.”
The camp was made possi-ble through fundraising contri-butions of the Y’s Annual Giv-ing Program, a campaign thatprovides assistance for singleparents, low-income families,adults and seniors, and helps theorganization keep program costs low,as well as contributing to the devel-opment of new programs.
The result of the weeklong experi-ence, said Miller, was palpable.
“A lot of the kids that come to ourY, sometimes they take it for granted,
he said. “These Monarch kids aregoing to remember their experiencein camp. They’ll hold that withthem.”

In taking on that challenge, Tsienand his fellow 2008 Nobel laureatesmade a ground-breaking discovery —the Green Flourescent Protein (GFP),which Tsien and his colleagues used todevelop a fluorescent molecule thatcan enter cells and illuminate its innerworkings. The glowing marker allowsresearchers and scientists to monitormovements, positions and interac-tions of tagged proteins within cells,which has become a vital tagging toolused in bioscience.
His initial discovery led him to focuson finding new strategies to targetimaging agents or chemotherapy
drugs to cancerous tumors. “Dr. Tsien’s work is an important
element in the battle against cancer,”said Kylor Schlaht, co-chair of thisyear’s Luau and Longboard Invita-tional. “In addition to what he doesin his lab, biomedical researchersworldwide utilize the multicolored flu-orescent proteins he helped develop,and for which he won the Nobel Prize,to track the inner workings of cellsand help shed light on how cells func-tion.”
Among Tsien’s previous honors arethe J. Allyn Taylor International Prizein Medicine, the Lewis S. RosenstielAward for Distinguished Work inBasic Medical Science, and election asa Foreign Member of the Royal Soci-ety of London.

Despite the morning heat, manyLa Jollans took a stroll to their neigh-borhood post office on Wall Street towrite or drop off handwritten letters,urging Rep. Darrell Issa (R-49th) —chairman of the House Oversightand Government Reform Committee— to endorse The Community PostOffice Relocation Act.
The proposed bill — introduced byReps. Susan Davis (D-23rd), BrianBilbray (R-50th) and Bob Filner(D-51st) — would give the commu-nity the first right of refusal to pur-chase a post office slated for closureor relocation at fair market valuebefore the property is listed for publicsale.
If passed, the bill would pave theway for a nonprofit organization, likethe La Jolla Historical Society, tohave the first chance to purchase thebuilding, whereupon they wouldlease the appropriate portion of thebuilding back to the U.S. Postal Ser-
vice (USPS) forits services.
“The lettersare criticallyimportant toimpress uponDarrell Issathat his goaland our goalsare not mutual-ly exclusive,”said District 1City Council-woman SherriLightner at theletter-writingevent. “Wecan partner.We can keep our post office, lease itback to the postal service and every-one — particularly our community— will benefit from this hub in ourcommunity.”
Leslie Davis, chairwoman of theSave Our La Jolla Post Office TaskForce, stressed the importance ofIssa’s influence on the fate of La
Jolla’s community postoffice.
“Writing letters to DarrellIssa, who oversees postalreform, is the key to oursuccess of being able to con-trol the future of our com-munity and our economy,”she said. “Tell your friendsto send letters, be involved.This is what it takes. This isa community effort, and it
takes everybody — it takes a village.”Filner also made an appearance at
the post office gathering, urgingcommunity members to continuethe fight to preserve its prized eco-nomic hub and uniting center in theheart of the Village.
“Every community has somethingthat keeps them together … There’snothing more important than hav-ing a sense of community here,” hesaid. “Whatever we have to keepcommunities together, we have topreserve, and this is clearly impor-tant.”
More than 100 letters were col-lected on Aug. 17 at the letter-writ-ing event. Letters will be accepted onan ongoing basis.

“When you drive up and you lookin there, it needs to look like a fin-ished space,” he said, adding theentryway’s current landscaping “isthe wrong texture.”
“You need to have big, colorful tex-ture and walls on the side,” Reedsaid.
Responding to a point raised thatVentana’s guardhouse is unoccu-pied, Reed said, “If you don’t need aguard, you don’t have to have aguard. But it needs to look like aguardhouse. It’s a presence and theentrance to your community and itneeds to be upgraded.”
Joe Carnucci, president of the five-member Ventana Community Coun-
cil, told the audience members theproposal was still in the planningstages.
“This is a proposal that David[Reed] has given to the board. Theproposal has not been approved bythe board,” he said Joe Carnucci.“We would like to form a committeeof homeowners that can work withDavid and give recommendations tothe board to proceed with this pro-ject.”
Once the committee and land-scape architect jointly work out adesign proposal for a revampedguardhouse and entryway, Carnuc-ci said, the board will “put a vote outto all the homeowners. We wanthomeowner approval on this pro-ject.”
Carnucci and Reed both stressedthat the condominium entryway
remodel proposal will preserve thelarge existing entryway tree, whichhas become synonymous with Ven-tana.
“You have the largest ficus treearound,” noted Reed. “I was given amandate by the board to develop astrategic plan for the preservation ofthat tree.”
Following the special meeting,Ventana resident Diana Amato spokefor many residents in expressing con-cerns about the bulk and scale of theproposed project.
“It is an unnecessary expenditureat this juncture,” she said. “In today’seconomy, you need to maintain acertain level of integrity with thereal-estate market, and upgradingand remodeling the entryway is anecessary part of that. However, toput such money [$200,000] into an
entryway when there are so manyother infrastructure problems with-in the community … This seems a lit-tle premature at this point in time toput all the focus and all of the moniesinto an entryway. That seems like anextravagance to many residents.”
It was also suggested at the meet-ing that the guardhouse itself is anti-quated, and that it might be betterto get rid of it all together and recon-figure the space to give it a more openand natural feel adding a fountainor doing something different.
Reed and Carnucci respondedfavorably to that suggestion, notingthat’s the purpose of the committeebeing formed, to have residents workwith the landscape architect to comeup with a plan that gives the gatedcommunity what it wants and needsin an entryway remodel.

An auto mechanic was sentencedAug. 16 to 12 years in state prison aftera judge refused to allow him to with-draw his guilty pleas in a massive seriesof car burglaries in Ocean Beach, LaJolla Shores and Pacific Beach.
Curt Lonnie Simnitt, 40, was finedmore than $6,400 after San DiegoSuperior Court Judge Dwayne Moringtold Simnitt he reviewed a completetranscript of the March 8 hearing whenSimmitt pleaded guilty before anotherjudge to 16 counts.
Simnitt signed his plea form as “CurtDuress” before Judge Fred Link, whocaught the signature shenanigan. Thejoke or stunt wasn’t noticed by Simnitt’sattorney at the time, and the attorneylater quit. Simnitt hired a new attorney
and maintained last week he signed theform under duress.
“I don’t think there is any evidence ofduress,” said Moring. “You were givenmany opportunities to say something.”
Simnitt was linked to 27 car burglar-ies, but there were likely many moreunreported after San Diego policeuncovered a large amount of stolenproperty at Simnitt’s home on Lake AralDrive in San Carlos on Jan. 13.
There were purses, wallets, cellphones, backpacks, wet suits, surf-boards, watches, clothing, credit cards,iPads and other things, according toinvestigators.
Simnitt pleaded guilty to nine carburglaries, three counts of identity theftand one count each of forgery, posses-sion of methamphetamine, grand theft
and receiving stolen property. He hadbeen charged with 80 counts, but Linkdismissed the rest after Simnitt pleadedguilty.
The county probation departmentinterviewed a Canadian couple whowere vacationing at La Jolla Shores andthey said they hid their car keys in somesand and covered it by a rock. Whenthey returned, they found the thief tookeverything, including their birth certifi-cates, glasses, credits cards and cellphone.
Many other victims said they hadalso hidden their car keys near theirvehicles. But Simnitt was apparentlywatching where people left their keys,according to his probation report. Healso broke car windows to gain accessand take property.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORIn response to Councilwoman Lightner
Ms. Lightner, thank you for yourresponse to my letter (Aug. 16, Page 6).Although you stated the NeighborhoodCode Compliance Department (NCCD)is under the direction and control of theMayor’s Office, I chose to contact youas our community liaison and know-ing Ms. Sherri Carr, former director ofthe NCCD, works part time in youroffice.
For almost two years I have been get-ting conflicting answers and excusesfrom the overworked NCCD officeregarding code violations at 2210Avenida De La Playa and 2226 AvenidaDe La Playa (which can be accessed viathe imbedded links for online readers).
I personally discussed with one ofyour representitives the code violationissues and was told violations in La JollaShores are too numerous and thereforeall code violations are being ignored bythe NCCD. I brought this issue up toboth the president and trustees of the LaJolla Community Planning Association(LJCPA). The LJCPA board then turnedaround and appointed the propertyowner of 2210, Myrna Naegle, to theLa Jolla Shores Permit Review Commit-tee! Now our community has a LJCPAsubcommittee member in violation ofthe San Diego Municipal Code and theLa Jolla Shores PDO (LJSPDO), who isauthorized to vote as to whether or notan applicant’s project meets code? Fromyour statement last week, I will assumeyou agree with the LJCPA decision thata candidate in violation of city code andour LJSPDO should not be restrictedfrom serving on our community plan-ning group.
On a different note, Ms. Lightner, youhave stated you will not comment onthe One El Paseo Project in Carmel Val-ley because it is scheduled to comebefore you at a future public hearing. Ifre-elected, since you have already pub-licly proclaimed on your 2012 re-elec-tion website that one of your achieve-ments was to require the WhitneyMixed-Use Building to conduct a fullenvironmental impact report, will yoube recusing yourself from the next voteon the Whitney Mixed Use Projectbecause of your lack of impartiality?
Bob WhitneyLa Jolla
In response to Whittemore, Naegle, et al
Mr. Whittemore, Ms. DeJong, Mrs.Naegle, Mr. and Mrs. McCormack, it isrefreshing for our community to see youhave chosen to respond to my open let-
ter to Sherri Lightner (Aug. 9, Page 6) asindividuals, instead of hiding behind thenames of small but vocal nonprofitgroups. This strategy of preventingapplicants and our community fromknowing (i) the small enrollment num-bers of your groups, (ii) the individualidentities of your group’s members and(iii) if your members are affiliated withour La Jolla Community Planning Asso-ciation and/or our councilperson, hasbeen extremely effective in the past. Ordid you choose to respond as individualsbased on the advice of your attorney,given your current litigious groups,Save La Jolla and La Jolla Shores Tomor-row are in litigation with the city of SanDiego?
On the other hand, it is understand-able you resort back to your old play-book when your groups or its membersare accused of violating the regulationsour community has put into place. Thisis when you launch into your campaignof personal attacks, misrepresentationsand distortions of the facts, and whenyou attempt to direct the conversationaway from the issue by discrediting youradversary with a list of allegations.
This ploy was implemented in yourrecent letter in which you referred tothe well-documented code violationsagainst 2210 Avenida De La Playa and2226 Avenida De La Playa (which canbe accessed via the imbedded links foronline readers) as “ludicrous, meanspirited and uniformed.” If I chose touse your strategy, I could simply describeyou with the same language. But thefacts are (i) it was you who “ludicrous-ly” claimed I instigated the investigationof code violations on the propertyowner at 2222 Avenida De La Playa,(ii) it was you who dishonestly described2222 as the personal residence of Ms.Sasaki, (iii) it was you who knew theseallegations were absolutely false! Thiswas just your “mean spirited” attemptto destroy my character with anotherwave of your distortions of the truth.As neighbors of 2222, you knew thisbuilding was not her personal residencebut rented to San Diego Bike & Kayak forthe past five years. The truth is Ms. Sasa-ki has been receiving approximately$8,000 a month in rent for her com-mercial building. Nevertheless, Ms.Sasaki or the current property ownerpromptly corrected their city-issuedcode violations. (iv) You also inaccurate-ly alleged my properties are in violationof the community development codes.Now, who is “revealing their fundamen-tal ignorance regarding how Neighbor-hood Code Compliance works?” So youunderstand, my mixed-use buildingsare located in the Commercial Center
of La Jolla Shores. However, unlike theabove-mentioned newer and remodeledbuildings located at 2210 and 2226,my buildings were built in the early1950s and have never been remodeled.My current uses were previously con-forming uses; therefore the San DiegoMunicipal Code and the La Jolla ShoresPDO allow these current uses and park-ing to be grandfathered in. I am willingto make myself available 24/7 at yourconvenience to meet with you individu-ally or as a group and a NeighborhoodCode Compliance Officer to discuss yourclaims. If you choose not to meet withme, perhaps a retraction statement innext week’s paper would be appropri-ate. Mr. Whittemore, would you andyour consultant, the president of LJCPA,Tony Cristfi, meet with me, my consul-tants and a Neighborhood Code Compli-ance Officer to discuss the code viola-tions on your property and yourneighbor’s property to the north?
You described my letter as an inap-propriate and politically motivatedattack on Sherri Lightner. What com-ments in my previous letter to my coun-cilperson were politically motivated?Was it the picture I found on Sherri’sFacebook page of our councilwomanembracing Myrna Naegle, the propertyowner of 2210, at the councilwoman’scampaign kickoff picnic?
Nevertheless, thank you for comingforward and updating our communityon the code violations at 2210 AvenidaDe La Playa (2210). Based on yourresponse, the denial of a DS-18 exemp-tion from the city of San Diego and afteralmost two years of delay, perhaps ourcommunity can now rest assured theviolations are not being ignored andthey will be corrected to code in a time-ly fashion. I am perplexed, however, asto why you failed to mention the statusof the code violations of the president ofLa Jolla Shores Tomorrow’s building at2226 Avenida De La Playa. Is it Mr.Woods’ intentions to also bring hisbuilding into compliance?

some of his career highs — and lows —and what he sees for the future of nego-tiating peace in the Middle East.
La Jolla Village News: You’ve worked inpeace making in the Middle East for along time. Can you talk about what ithas been like to be part of the peace-making apparatus in one of the mostvolatile places in the world?
Dennis Ross: I was a negotiator in theMiddle East during the Clinton adminis-tration, so that was a nonstop effort, withconstant shuttles between here and theMiddle East, and within the Middle Eastitself. And it did not involve just peacemaking, but also trying to preserve theprocess, especially when you have acts ofterror and bombing and the like. Therewere moments of high exhilaration, andthere were moments of despair, particu-larly when [Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak] Rabin was assassinated.
We had a sense of real possibility atthat time. Israel and the states that bor-der it have had what you might describeas territorial disputes, but with Israel andPalestine, it was a sort of existential ques-tion. You had two national movementsbasically competing for the same space,and neither recognized each other priorto [the Oslo Accords]. After Oslo, you hada kind of mutual recognition, so we hadthe chance to transform the conflict, andthat’s what we thought was possible inthe 1990s. We worked very hard to tryto get there, and ultimately in the end,we were incapable of solving the con-flict.
LJVN:You wrote three books over fiveyears (“The Missing Peace: The InsideStory of the Fight for Middle East Peace,”“Statecraft, And How to Restore Ameri-ca’s Standing in the World” and “Myths,Illusions and Peace: Finding a NewDirection for America in the MiddleEast”). Did your tone and approach todiscussing peace in the region changeover the course of those five years, givenyour experiences dealing with peaceissues there?
DR: I wouldn’t say the tone changed.I think the essence of what I have tried tofocus on is what’s possible and when it’spossible. The middle book I wrote iscalled “Statecraft,” and the essence ofstatecraft is being able to marry yourobjectives and your means, whichsounds on one level like it’s obvious. Andyet, very often in policy making, objec-tives are grand objectives. They’re at50,000 feet, they’re at the level of moth-erhood and apple pie, which is not soeasy to operationalize. So frequently youhave a gap between your objectives andyour means, because your objectives arelofty, and you don’t have the means tofulfill them.
I have always tried to focus on whatcould be achieved in terms of peace mak-ing. For instance, today, I don’t think thetwo sides — because of the level of disbe-lief on both sides — are capable ofresolving all the many differencesbetween them. So the question is, if youcan’t resolve all the differences, yourchoice is either to do nothing, or to see ifyou can change the context in whichthe two sides are operating so that what’snot possible today becomes possibletomorrow.
Some have said I’m an incrementalist,and that’s not really the case. I try tofocus on what I think we can achieve. IfI think we can solve the whole thing,then I say go for the whole thing. But if Ithink we can’t, we have to look at whatwe have to do so we can change the cir-cumstances, so we can solve the wholething. It’s the context that determines
what’s possible.
LJVN: Has that context changed overthe years?
DR: Oh, yes. It’s changed dramatical-ly, for the worse.
LJVN: What do you hope to impart tofuture generations regarding peace inthe Middle East?
DR:There really isn’t an alternative totrying to achieve peace. You can throwup your hands and say it’s not possible,but then you’ll make failure a self-fulfill-ing prophecy. But you also shouldn’t benaive. You shouldn’t think you can pro-duce it when it’s impossible. The questionis how can you try to affect that context?
In the Jewish tradition, to be a rodefshalom is to be a seeker of peace. Thereare few things that are higher. I thinkthat should continue to be somethingthat is of fundamental value that is high-ly treasured and appreciated. Even if thecircumstances are such that what youmay want to achieve, you’re not able toachieve, it doesn’t mean you should giveup.
LJVN: What was one of the crowningmoments of your career concerningyour work with peace in the Middle East?
DR: I think when we brokered theHebron Accord, which took two 23-dayshuttles working around the clock. Thatwas a high moment. I think reachingthe [Israeli-Palestinian] Interim Agree-ment, which came before the HebronAccord, those were high moments.
LJVN: Was there ever a moment whenyou thought the challenge was too great,or that all of your hard work was use-less?
DR: I had that moment when Rabinwas assassinated. I was devastated. I hadworked unbelievably closely with him,and I had just seen him three days before.His last words to me were haunting. Hesaid, “Expect anything.” I expected a lot,but I didn’t expect that.
LJVN: This is a job where you have tohave some degree of optimism. Did thatevent change your approach?
DR: You have to have the belief thatthings can be done. You cannot be acynic, and you can’t be an inherent pes-simist. You have to believe that thingscan be done and are worth trying to do.
I wanted to fulfill his legacy. I didn’twant his assassination to be somethingwhere [the assassins] were not just try-ing to kill him, but were trying to killpeace itself. And I still want that. It wasa reminder of the risks you run. I thinkone thing that affected Clinton so muchwas the assassination because he said toRabin, “You take risk for peace and we’llminimize that risk.” Then Rabin paidwith his life.
LJVN: What issues do you plan onaddressing during Yom Limmud at theJewish Community Center on Aug. 26?
DR: I want to talk about what is goingon in the region now. I want to talk aboutIran, as well as the developments inEgypt, which are significant, not to men-tion what’s happening in Syria. Thebroader point right now is that the kindof tumult we’ve seen recently in the Mid-dle East we’ve never seen before. You’vehad upheaval, but never so fundamen-tal, never so widespread. We have whatamounts to an Arab awakening. You cansee reactions to it — you see it in Syriawhere the regime is prepared to kill asmany citizens as it has to in order toremain in power. The question is howmuch damage will it wreak.
There’s rarely been time when wecould look at the region and see so many

When the ChildBecomes the Parent
Watching our parents lose their inde-pendence is one of the most challengingrealities we will encounter as our parentsget older. Our parents have made deci-sions for and about us and themselves formany years but when a child is calledupon to start making hard decisions abouttheir parents; it can be an emotionalroller-coaster.
Sitting down and talking to a parentabout their desires for the future shouldthey become incapacitated is not alwayseasy. Discussions must be made aboutmedications, finances and advanced direc-tives but sometimes those discussions areeasier said than done. This is the time tocall a Geriatric Care Manager who willtalk with the entire family on decisionsand challenges in the present and future.
A knowledgeable expert in the field ofgeriatrics can help families make the right
decisions. At Innovative Healthcare Con-sultants our RN Care Managers are expe-rienced in talking to the parent and thechildren and finding out the desires andneeds of everyone. They can make objec-tive suggestions to the family about howthe parent can continue to make somedecisions and keep some independenceand control while the family can knowthe parent is safe and being well takencare of. They might suggest caregivers inthe home for a few hours or twenty-fourhours a day or an assisted living facility,depending on the need.

Dozens of San Diego lifeguardsdescended on Mission Beach last week,sprinting into action with lifesavingbuoys, rescue boards, swim caps and daz-zling speed.
But this was no real-life mass ocean res-cue. The display was all part of the annu-al Ron Trenton Memorial Lifeguard Relays— a public contest putting rescue skillsand team cooperation to the test whileinvigorating San Diego’s lifeguards with afriendly competition among brethren.
Now in its 59th year, the relays drewscores of lifeguards and spectators fromthe city’s respective zones for the sunsetshowdown: Northern Division (represent-ing La Jolla-area beaches); Central Divi-
sion (South Mission Beach, Mis-sion Beach, Pacific Beach andnorth Pacific Beach); SouthernDivision (Ocean Beach, Point Lomaand Mission Bay); and members ofthe San Diego Lifeguard Services’Boating Safety Division.
The relays included twelve legsdemonstrating the different rescuetechniques used in ocean rescues:running, swimming, paddle-res-cue boarding and landline rescue.
This year saw each division take,and then lose the lead over the course ofthe hour-long relay race in what manyobservers crowned the tightest, most com-petitive lifeguard relays in recent memory.
Ultimately, the Central Division dis-played the most depth. Placing second was
the Northern Division, followed by theSouthern Division and finally the BoatingSafety Unit.

UCSD ranked 15th best university in the world
The University of California, San Diego is rankedthe 15th best university in world and its life sci-ences program is ranked ninth, according to the2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities(ARWU) that was released Aug. 15 by the Center forWorld-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni-versity.
Other UC San Diego ARWU subject field rankingsinclude natural sciences and mathematics (20th),engineering (12th), clinical medicine and pharma-cy (21st), social science (25th), mathematics (25th),chemistry (13th), computer science (14th) and eco-nomics (17th).
ARWU evaluated more than 1,200 universities,ranking them by several indicators of academic orresearch performance, including alumni and staffwinning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly citedresearchers, papers published in Nature and Science,papers indexed in major citation indices and the percapita academic performance of an institution.ARWU did not rank arts and humanities and psy-chology/psychiatry.
Neurosciences Institute makes a local move
The Neurosciences Research Foundation hasannounced that, in the early fall, its theoretical andexperimental research arm, The NeurosciencesInstitute, will be moving to new headquarters inthe village of La Jolla in a setting that will allowcontinuation of its fundamental research in neuro-biology. Other programs of the foundation will con-tinue in two locations, in California and on the eastcoast.
Since 1981, The Neurosciences Institute has beendedicated to understanding the brain for the bene-fit of humankind. Under the leadership of NobelLaureate Gerald M. Edelman, the Institute focuses itsresearch on the principles underlying how we per-ceive and act on the world, how we learn andremember, and how consciousness arises.
The institute will continue to emphasize its theo-retical work while reorganizing its experimentalresearch program.

Scientists at Scripps Institution ofOceanography (SIO), in a partner-ship with Southern California Gas
Co. (SoCalGas), are busy at work proving thatit is indeed easy to be green.
The subject of the collaborative effort isone that swimmers, surfers and other oceanlovers are familiar with. It is abundantlyavailable, as is the scientific talent needed tostudy it, in San Diego. It is often mislabeled —unfairly, according to one researcher — asslimy or scummy. It is marine algae, and itcould be the answer to the country’s oil-addiction woes and skyrocketing gas prices.
SIO, a member organization of the SanDiego Center for Algae Biotechnology, hasbeen the center of studies for several years onthe use of algae as a clean, renewable biofu-el. Researchers are hoping they can take theadvantages of algae one step further, byleveraging its natural ability to absorb CO2 inthe environment and convert it into oil-richbiomass or biomethane, or refined into fossil
fuel replacements. Furthermore,the biomass left over after oilsused for biodiesel are extractedcan be used as a safe, protein-richanimal feed.
As part of the increased effortsto harness the potential benefitsof algae, Scripps and SoCalGasare designing an innovative sys-tem to investigate how algaecould most effectively captureindustrial CO2 from sources likenatural gas power plants, large engines usedin natural gas compression and water pump-ing, and boilers used to produce steam forindustrial processes like enhanced oil recov-ery.
“We can farm algae on land or in thewater, and we can take waste nutrients, suchas feed-lot waste and waters from feed lots,and feed them to the algae,” said DominickMendola, a senior development engineer inthe laboratory of Greg Mitchell, a Scrippsresearch biologist who is exploring marinealgae for its potential as a new biofuel source.
“When we add intothe water carbondioxide gas fromthe exhaust of anengine or a powerplant, then we havethe perfect crop,because we’re recy-cling CO2, convert-ing oils into trans-portation oils, andthe carbohydratescan be digested toproduce methanegas while the pro-teins can be ex-tracted and madeinto animal feed.We’re trying to useall the parts.”
Algae, as compared to other sources of bio-fuel like corn and soybeans, is five to 10 timesmore efficient in converting light energy intoa natural biomass oil product. Plus, it can begrown in harsh conditions — like a barrendesert, using seawater — making it superiorto terrestrial plants that need nutrient-richsoil and valuable fresh water for irrigation.
“Terrestrial plants have to produce cellu-lose and lignin to hold themselves up to thesunlight. Floating plants don’t have to dothat, so they don’t have to spend energy onthat,” Mendola said. “Because they don’thave that extra cellulose and lignin, they’resoft and easy to digest, and easier to breakdown and convert into biofuel. Though we

Research conference showcases young scholars Undergraduate students from San Diego’s
major universities presented their research atthe 2012 Summer Research Conference at UCSan Diego on Aug. 16. About 240 young schol-ars participated, representing UCSD; CSU, SanMarcos; San Diego State University and the Uni-versity of San Diego, as well as students frominstitutions across the country.
“The Summer Research Conference reallyshowcases San Diego as the place to be forundergraduate research,” said David Artis, deanof Undergraduate Research Initiatives at UCSD.
Michelle Fu, a senior at UCSD majoring inbioengineering, is working on an external arti-ficial pancreas for diabetes patients as part ofthe Amgen Scholars Program, an intensive 10-week research program at UCSD.
For Bryan Sanchez, a fourth-year student atCSU, Northridge, the Summer Research Confer-ence marked the culmination of a 10-weekresearch internship at Scripps Institution ofOceanography. The Scripps UndergraduateResearch Fellowship (SURF) engages studentsin earth, ocean and atmospheric research.Under the guidance of faculty mentor Jeff Gee,director of the geosciences research division,Sanchez is studying paleomagnetic sediments ofthe Salton Sea and Papua New Guinea.
UCSD’s numerous programs enable under-graduates to get research training with facultywho are leading experts in their fields. Many ofthese programs are focused on supporting low-income or underrepresented students, includingthe CAMP Science Program, the MARC Schol-
ars Program and the McNair Program, amongothers. To learn more about UC San Diego’s Aca-demic Enrichment Programs, visit aep.ucsd.edu.

RECEPTION: August 25th, 6-8pm
For 19 years running, La Jolla hasbeen the home of an annual gatheringof the most famous names in surfdom,including such icons as TubesteakTracy, George “Mysto” Carr, Robert“Wingnut” Weaver, and the original“Gidget,” Kathy Zuckerman. It’s theLuau and Longboard Invitational,founded in 1994 by Sam Armstrongand John Otterson, and international-ly renowned for drawing the largestparticipation of Surf Legends. It’s alsoone of the world’s most successfulsurfing fundraisers, having raisedabout $6 million for cancer researchand treatment.
Obviously, it’s not just for surfers.Everyone knows others who have suf-fered from cancer, and the event is abenefit for the UC San Diego MooresCancer Center. Artists, business pro-fessionals, healthcare providers, sci-entists, local politicians and caringcommunity members join together tosupport the fight against this disease.
The fun began Sunday morning at7 a.m. on the beach below ScrippsPier. Sponsored teams of five, eachincluding an assigned Surf Legend,vied for trophies in the invitationalsurfing tournament — but the realemphasis was on participation andsupport for the cause. While specta-tors were welcome to watch for free,the social highlight of the day was theluau and reception, which had a tick-et price of $150. Announced with an11:30 a.m. conch shell blowing on thebeach, this popular party drew acrowd of perhaps 600 eager support-ers, who enjoyed improved accommo-dations this year in a huge big-top tentabove the cliffs overlooking the beach.The festivities were fueled with rumand vodka specialty drinks from sever-al bars, and a luxurious luau buffetprovided by Giuseppe Fine Catering.Four sets of buffet tables meant no
long lines, and guestssavored such islanddelights as Waimana-lo-style chopped salad,Forbidden Rice Pilaf,Red Bliss potatoes,Buddha VegetablesTrilogy, Wasabe-Pankocrusted North Pacificcod, pulled Berkshirepork shoulder andmiso brined Petalumachicken thighs. Thechicken and pork dish-es seemed especiallydelicious and popular — and ofcourse, there was an assortment ofdesserts, too.
It was a true tropical feast, on a parwith Hawaii’s best, and accompaniedby authentic island music and danc-ing by Heali’i’s Polynesian Revue(they’ve performed at this event for thelast 13 years). The Rell Sunn “Queenof Makaha” award is given each yearto a leader in the battle against cancer— an individual who combinesunselfishness and compassion withtrue aloha spirit. Roger Tsein, Ph.D., aUCSD professor and 2008 Nobel Prizelaureate whose lab has developednovel techniques for imaging anddelivering specially targeted drugs totumors, was this year’s recipient.
There was a rather active silent auc-tion, and the live auction saw SteveHamann swiftly sell six surfboards forsignificant sums. (One, a Skip Frye30th anniversary longboard restoredby Joe Roper, went for $6,500.) Thisyear’s event artist was Kevin Walsh,who donated his talents in memory ofthree family members lost to cancerin a single year. The original paintingof the surfing scene he designed forthe program cover brought $4,000 inthe auction. Overall, the event raised$347,000. On stage near the end ofthe event, co-chairs Brandon Moylesand Kylor Schlaht presented a bigsymbolic check for that amount toMoores Cancer Center director ScottLippman.
The luau concluded with presenta-tion of trophies for the surfing contest(first place went to the A-1 Storageteam). Next year will be the event’s20th anniversary, and “foundinggrandfathers” Armstrong and Otter-son will return to chair it on Aug. 18,2013.

SRI unveils new findingsin healing wounds
Scientists at The Scripps ResearchInstitute have made a breakthroughin understanding a class of cells thathelp wounds in skin and other epithe-lial tissues heal, uncovering a molecu-lar mechanism that pushes the bodyinto wound-repair mode.
The findings focus on cells knownas gamma delta T cells. The studydemonstrates a skin-cell receptorhooks up with a receptor on gammadelta T cells to stimulate wound heal-ing.
“This is a major activation pathwayfor gamma delta T cells, and it may bea key to treating slow-wound-healingconditions, such as we see in diabetes,”said Scripps Research ProfessorWendy L. Havran, senior author ofthe study. “Chronic non-healingwounds among diabetics and theelderly are an increasing clinical prob-lem.”
Researchers ID copper’srole in prion disease
Scientists at the Scripps ResearchInstitute have discovered that coppercan facilitate prion disease.
Prion disease is familiar to mostfrom its incarnation of bovine spongi-form encephalopathy (“mad cow dis-ease”). The condition is caused by theabnormal folding of a protein, result-ing in progressive neurodegenerationand death.
While exactly how the protein mal-functions has been shrouded in mys-tery, scientists at The Scripps ResearchInstitute now report in the journalProceedings of the National Academy ofSciences (PNAS) that reducing copperin the body delays the onset of disease.
“We’ve known for many years thatprion proteins bind copper,” saidScripps Research graduate studentOwen Siggs. “But what scientistscouldn’t agree on was whether thiswas a good thing or a bad thing duringprion disease. By creating a mutationin mice that lowers the amount of cir-culating copper by 60 percent, we’veshown that reducing copper can delaythe onset of prion disease.”

do have to break the cell wall andget the oils out, it’s still easier thancrushing bamboo or grass.” Thepath to an algae-cum-biofuel-dependent society is not yet entirelypaved, however. Various challengeshave arisen, most notably the prob-lem of getting algae to grow whilestill producing the lipid oils that canbe converted into biodiesel. Algae,it turns out, generally only producethose lipids when starved for nutri-ents. When starved for nutrients,however, algae don’t grow well.Given a healthy diet, algae producecarbohydrates, not lipids. Thus,some Scripps researchers are inves-tigating, as reported in UCSD’sExplorations Now magazine, howgenes are turned on in lipid produc-tion, to identify which genes thatare induced when lipids are pro-duced.
Another challenge researchersare facing is one of money.
Right now, Mendola said, produc-ing a gallon of algae biofuel is stillthree times as expensive as fossil fueloil. That number, however, is a
promising one, he said.“We’re all encouraged that it’s
only two to three times as expen-sive at this point,” he said. “We canget that number down by economyof scale — the larger [the farm], themore economy of scale you willrealize. We have to have somebreakthroughs in harvesting, butthere are some very smart peoplewho are looking at new methodsand procedures, and we all have alot of faith that we’ll be able to shavethe cost down in time.”
If and when the research gets tothe point at which it can support alarge-scale algal biofuel industry, sci-entists have no doubt it has thepotential to change the landscapeof biofuels and the future of how wepower our cars, trucks and aircraft.
“It won’t save all of the universe,but it will definitely help,” Mendolasaid. “We’re here to show that algaeis a very productive plant, muchmore so than terrestrial plants. It’sway far and above as a producer ofoil than corn, soy, palm, etc. We stillhave to refine the systems, selectalgal strains that are good producerson a reliable basis and get the costdown. But we just started.”

According to lifeguard officials, therelays serve three general purposes:
• motivation for lifeguards to fine-tune their rescue skills and athleticism;
• a means to blow off steam after astressful summer; and
• an opportunity to showcase vari-ous rescue techniques to the public.
The annual relays are named afterveteran lifeguard and long time North-

different challenges that are so monu-mental in scope.
LJVN: Why, in your opinion, has all thisfundamental change imploded at onetime in the region?
DR: You have a region that’s been char-acterized by people who were treated assubjects, not as citizens. They had norights — no right to have expectations orto make demands. Where social mediaand the Internet have come in is that peo-ple suddenly became much more aware
of their own circumstances and theycould compare those circumstances toothers. We’ve reached the point wherethe level of indignity and injustice, haveall combined, and once it was demon-strated that people-power could removethose leaders who seemed so invulnera-ble, then it produced what we’ve seen.
This is the beginning of the process,not the end. Nobody at this point couldsay how it will unfold. Be careful aboutpredictions and retain your humility. Noone knows what will happen. The onlything I would say with some degree ofconfidence is this is a very long process.It’s a generational process of change. It
will take 10 to 20 years to play out.Ross will provide the keynote speech
at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 26 at the JewishCommunity Center, located at 4126Executive Drive. Admission is $32.00 formembers, $38.00 for nonmembers.Teens will be admitted for $14 (members)or $18 (nonmembers).
