Monarch students get a first-time camp experience at La Jolla YMCA

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS On the morning of Aug. 13, two buses pulled up to the La Jolla YMCA. They were filled with youth campers — but not the regular campers that fill the Y’s various summer camps.

These buses carried roughly 130 students from downtown’s Monarch School, a nonprofit catering to students affected by homelessness.

Campers ranging in age from 5 to 18 participated in a variety of camps, from sports and specialty camps to unique experiences like junkyard drumming and water park camp. For many of the students, who have come from housing situations that have involved shelters, motels, cars and the streets, this would be their first camp experience.

“At first, some were really shy and would only talk to each other,” said Akeem Miller of Rookie Sports. “You have to understand where they’re coming from. We’ve really worked to include everybody and they’ve gotten more and more comfortable. When we won the spirit assembly, they went crazy! You just have to earn their trust.”

The campers returned every day for one week, from Aug. 13-17, checking off experiences that many had never had before, like swimming.

A number of the visiting teens were enrolled in a specialized leadership camp designed specifically for them and led by Michelle Grindle, unit leader for La Jolla’s Leader In Training program. The week included visits to the University of San Diego, Solid Rock Gym, The Wave Waterpark and La Jolla Shores with a curriculum SEE YMCA, Page 2

Remodel of Ventana entryway leaves some residents questioning fate of beloved community tree

BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS A recent homeowners association meeting at Ventana in La Jolla was all about saving a huge tree and updating the look of the gated community of 168 homes overlooking canyons and ocean atop Mt. Soledad.

But not all residents were sold on a proposal pitched to them by a landscape architect who said what’s really needed is an estimated $200,000 makeover of the community’s entryway guardhouse.

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 In taking on that challenge, Tsien and his fellow 2008 Nobel laureates made a ground-breaking discovery — the Green Flourescent Protein (GFP), which Tsien and his colleagues used to develop a fluorescent molecule that can enter cells and illuminate its inner workings. The glowing marker allows researchers and scientists to monitor movements, positions and interactions of tagged proteins within cells, which has become a vital tagging tool used in bioscience.

His initial discovery led him to focus on finding new strategies to target imaging 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 this year’s Luau and Longboard Invitational. “In addition to what he does in his lab, biomedical researchers worldwide utilize the multicolored fluorescent proteins he helped develop, and for which he won the Nobel Prize, to track the inner workings of cells and help shed light on how cells function.”

Among Tsien’s previous honors are the J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine, the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Science, and election as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London.

“When you drive up and you look in there, it needs to look like a finished space,” he said, adding the entryway’s current landscaping “is the wrong texture.”

“You need to have big, colorful texture and walls on the side,” Reed said.

Responding to a point raised that Ventana’s guardhouse is unoccupied, Reed said, “If you don’t need a guard, you don’t have to have a guard. But it needs to look like a guardhouse. It’s a presence and the entrance to your community and it needs to be upgraded.”

Joe Carnucci, president of the fivemember Ventana Community Coun-

cil, told the audience members the proposal was still in the planning stages.

“This is a proposal that David [Reed] has given to the board. The proposal has not been approved by the board,” he said Joe Carnucci.

“We would like to form a committee of homeowners that can work with David and give recommendations to the board to proceed with this project.”

Once the committee and landscape architect jointly work out a design proposal for a revamped guardhouse and entryway, Carnucci said, the board will “put a vote out to all the homeowners. We want homeowner approval on this project.”

Carnucci and Reed both stressed that the condominium entryway

remodel proposal will preserve the large existing entryway tree, which has become synonymous with Ventana.

“You have the largest ficus tree around,” noted Reed. “I was given a mandate by the board to develop a strategic plan for the preservation of that tree.”

Following the special meeting, Ventana resident Diana Amato spoke for many residents in expressing concerns about the bulk and scale of the proposed project.

“It is an unnecessary expenditure at this juncture,” she said. “In today’s economy, you need to maintain a certain level of integrity with the real-estate market, and upgrading and remodeling the entryway is a necessary part of that. However, to put such money [$200,000] into an

entryway when there are so many other infrastructure problems within the community … This seems a little premature at this point in time to put all the focus and all of the monies into an entryway. That seems like an extravagance to many residents.”

It was also suggested at the meeting that the guardhouse itself is antiquated, and that it might be better to get rid of it all together and reconfigure the space to give it a more open and natural feel adding a fountain or doing something different.

Reed and Carnucci responded favorably to that suggestion, noting that’s the purpose of the committee being formed, to have residents work with the landscape architect to come up with a plan that gives the gated community what it wants and needs in an entryway remodel.

Defendant in massive car break-in series gets 12 years

BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS An auto mechanic was sentenced Aug. 16 to 12 years in state prison after a judge refused to allow him to withdraw his guilty pleas in a massive series of car burglaries in Ocean Beach, La Jolla Shores and Pacific Beach.

Curt Lonnie Simnitt, 40, was fined more than $6,400 after San Diego Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring told Simnitt he reviewed a complete transcript of the March 8 hearing when Simmitt pleaded guilty before another judge to 16 counts.

Simnitt signed his plea form as “Curt Duress” before Judge Fred Link, who caught the signature shenanigan. The joke or stunt wasn’t noticed by Simnitt’s attorney at the time, and the attorney later quit. Simnitt hired a new attorney

and maintained last week he signed the form under duress.

“I don’t think there is any evidence of duress,” said Moring. “You were given many opportunities to say something.”

Simnitt was linked to 27 car burglaries, but there were likely many more unreported after San Diego police uncovered a large amount of stolen property at Simnitt’s home on Lake Aral Drive in San Carlos on Jan. 13.

There were purses, wallets, cell phones, backpacks, wet suits, surfboards, watches, clothing, credit cards, iPads and other things, according to investigators.

Simnitt pleaded guilty to nine car burglaries, three counts of identity theft and one count each of forgery, possession of methamphetamine, grand theft

and receiving stolen property. He had been charged with 80 counts, but Link dismissed the rest after Simnitt pleaded guilty.

The county probation department interviewed a Canadian couple who were vacationing at La Jolla Shores and they said they hid their car keys in some sand and covered it by a rock. When they returned, they found the thief took everything, including their birth certificates, glasses, credits cards and cell phone.

Many other victims said they had also hidden their car keys near their vehicles. But Simnitt was apparently watching where people left their keys, according to his probation report. He also broke car windows to gain access and take property.

what’s possible.

LJVN: Has that context changed over the years? some of his career highs — and lows — DR: Oh, yes. It’s changed dramaticaland what he sees for the future of negoly, for the worse. tiating peace in the Middle East.

CONTINUED FROM Page 1

La Jolla Village News: You’ve worked in peace making in the Middle East for a long time. Can you talk about what it has been like to be part of the peacemaking apparatus in one of the most volatile places in the world?

Dennis Ross: I was a negotiator in the Middle East during the Clinton administration, so that was a nonstop effort, with constant shuttles between here and the Middle East, and within the Middle East itself. And it did not involve just peace making, but also trying to preserve the process, especially when you have acts of terror and bombing and the like. There were moments of high exhilaration, and there were moments of despair, particularly when [Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin was assassinated.

We had a sense of real possibility at that time. Israel and the states that border it have had what you might describe as territorial disputes, but with Israel and Palestine, it was a sort of existential question. You had two national movements basically competing for the same space, and neither recognized each other prior to [the Oslo Accords]. After Oslo, you had a kind of mutual recognition, so we had the chance to transform the conflict, and that’s what we thought was possible in the 1990s. We worked very hard to try to get there, and ultimately in the end, we were incapable of solving the conflict.

LJVN:You wrote three books over five years (“The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace,” “Statecraft, And How to Restore America’s Standing in the World” and “Myths, Illusions and Peace: Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East”). Did your tone and approach to discussing peace in the region change over the course of those five years, given your experiences dealing with peace issues there?

DR: I wouldn’t say the tone changed.

I think the essence of what I have tried to focus on is what’s possible and when it’s possible. The middle book I wrote is called “Statecraft,” and the essence of statecraft is being able to marry your objectives and your means, which sounds on one level like it’s obvious. And yet, very often in policy making, objectives are grand objectives. They’re at 50,000 feet, they’re at the level of motherhood and apple pie, which is not so easy to operationalize. So frequently you have a gap between your objectives and your means, because your objectives are lofty, and you don’t have the means to fulfill them.

I have always tried to focus on what could be achieved in terms of peace making. For instance, today, I don’t think the two sides — because of the level of disbelief on both sides — are capable of resolving all the many differences between them. So the question is, if you can’t resolve all the differences, your choice is either to do nothing, or to see if you can change the context in which the two sides are operating so that what’s not possible today becomes possible tomorrow.

Some have said I’m an incrementalist, and that’s not really the case. I try to focus on what I think we can achieve. If I think we can solve the whole thing, then I say go for the whole thing. But if I think we can’t, we have to look at what we have to do so we can change the circumstances, so we can solve the whole thing. It’s the context that determines

LJVN: What do you hope to impart to future generations regarding peace in the Middle East?

DR:There really isn’t an alternative to trying to achieve peace. You can throw up your hands and say it’s not possible, but then you’ll make failure a self-fulfilling prophecy. But you also shouldn’t be naive. You shouldn’t think you can produce it when it’s impossible. The question is how can you try to affect that context?

In the Jewish tradition, to be a rodef shalom is to be a seeker of peace. There are few things that are higher. I think that should continue to be something that is of fundamental value that is highly treasured and appreciated. Even if the circumstances are such that what you may want to achieve, you’re not able to achieve, it doesn’t mean you should give up.

LJVN: What was one of the crowning moments of your career concerning your work with peace in the Middle East?

DR: I think when we brokered the Hebron Accord, which took two 23-day shuttles working around the clock. That was a high moment. I think reaching the [Israeli-Palestinian] Interim Agreement, which came before the Hebron Accord, those were high moments.

LJVN: Was there ever a moment when you thought the challenge was too great, or that all of your hard work was useless?

DR: I had that moment when Rabin was assassinated. I was devastated. I had worked unbelievably closely with him, and I had just seen him three days before.

His last words to me were haunting. He said, “Expect anything.” I expected a lot, but I didn’t expect that.

LJVN: This is a job where you have to have some degree of optimism. Did that event change your approach?

DR: You have to have the belief that things can be done. You cannot be a cynic, and you can’t be an inherent pessimist. You have to believe that things can be done and are worth trying to do.

I wanted to fulfill his legacy. I didn’t want his assassination to be something where [the assassins] were not just trying to kill him, but were trying to kill peace itself. And I still want that. It was a reminder of the risks you run. I think one thing that affected Clinton so much was the assassination because he said to Rabin, “You take risk for peace and we’ll minimize that risk.” Then Rabin paid with his life.

LJVN: What issues do you plan on addressing during Yom Limmud at the Jewish Community Center on Aug. 26?

DR: I want to talk about what is going on in the region now. I want to talk about Iran, as well as the developments in Egypt, which are significant, not to mention what’s happening in Syria. The broader point right now is that the kind of tumult we’ve seen recently in the Middle East we’ve never seen before. You’ve had upheaval, but never so fundamental, never so widespread. We have what amounts to an Arab awakening. You can see reactions to it — you see it in Syria where the regime is prepared to kill as many citizens as it has to in order to remain in power. The question is how much damage will it wreak.

There’s rarely been time when we could look at the region and see so many SEE AMBASSADOR, Page 11

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In response to Councilwoman Lightner Ms. Lightner, thank you for your response to my letter (Aug. 16, Page 6).

Although you stated the Neighborhood Code Compliance Department (NCCD) is under the direction and control of the Mayor’s Office, I chose to contact you as our community liaison and knowing Ms. Sherri Carr, former director of the NCCD, works part time in your office.

For almost two years I have been getting conflicting answers and excuses from the overworked NCCD office regarding code violations at 2210 Avenida De La Playa and 2226 Avenida De La Playa (which can be accessed via the imbedded links for online readers).

I personally discussed with one of your representitives the code violation issues and was told violations in La Jolla Shores are too numerous and therefore all code violations are being ignored by the NCCD. I brought this issue up to both the president and trustees of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA). The LJCPA board then turned around and appointed the property owner of 2210, Myrna Naegle, to the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee! Now our community has a LJCPA subcommittee member in violation of the San Diego Municipal Code and the La Jolla Shores PDO (LJSPDO), who is authorized to vote as to whether or not an applicant’s project meets code? From your statement last week, I will assume you agree with the LJCPA decision that a candidate in violation of city code and our LJSPDO should not be restricted from serving on our community planning group.

On a different note, Ms. Lightner, you have stated you will not comment on the One El Paseo Project in Carmel Valley because it is scheduled to come before you at a future public hearing. If re-elected, since you have already publicly proclaimed on your 2012 re-election website that one of your achievements was to require the Whitney Mixed-Use Building to conduct a full environmental impact report, will you be recusing yourself from the next vote on the Whitney Mixed Use Project because of your lack of impartiality?

Bob Whitney La Jolla

In response to Whittemore, Naegle, et al Mr. Whittemore, Ms. DeJong, Mrs. Naegle, Mr. and Mrs. McCormack, it is refreshing for our community to see you have chosen to respond to my open let-

ter to Sherri Lightner (Aug. 9, Page 6) as individuals, instead of hiding behind the names of small but vocal nonprofit groups. This strategy of preventing applicants and our community from knowing (i) the small enrollment numbers of your groups, (ii) the individual identities of your group’s members and (iii) if your members are affiliated with our La Jolla Community Planning Association and/or our councilperson, has been extremely effective in the past. Or did you choose to respond as individuals based on the advice of your attorney, given your current litigious groups, Save La Jolla and La Jolla Shores Tomorrow are in litigation with the city of San Diego?

On the other hand, it is understandable you resort back to your old playbook when your groups or its members are accused of violating the regulations our community has put into place. This is when you launch into your campaign of personal attacks, misrepresentations and distortions of the facts, and when you attempt to direct the conversation away from the issue by discrediting your adversary with a list of allegations.

This ploy was implemented in your recent letter in which you referred to the well-documented code violations against 2210 Avenida De La Playa and 2226 Avenida De La Playa (which can be accessed via the imbedded links for online readers) as “ludicrous, mean spirited and uniformed.” If I chose to use your strategy, I could simply describe you with the same language. But the facts are (i) it was you who “ludicrously” claimed I instigated the investigation of code violations on the property owner at 2222 Avenida De La Playa, (ii) it was you who dishonestly described 2222 as the personal residence of Ms. Sasaki, (iii) it was you who knew these allegations were absolutely false! This was just your “mean spirited” attempt to destroy my character with another wave of your distortions of the truth.

As neighbors of 2222, you knew this building was not her personal residence but rented to San Diego Bike & Kayak for the past five years. The truth is Ms. Sasaki has been receiving approximately $8,000 a month in rent for her commercial building. Nevertheless, Ms. Sasaki or the current property owner promptly corrected their city-issued code violations. (iv) You also inaccurately alleged my properties are in violation of the community development codes.

Now, who is “revealing their fundamental ignorance regarding how Neighborhood Code Compliance works?” So you understand, my mixed-use buildings are located in the Commercial Center

of La Jolla Shores. However, unlike the above-mentioned newer and remodeled buildings located at 2210 and 2226, my buildings were built in the early 1950s and have never been remodeled.

My current uses were previously conforming uses; therefore the San Diego Municipal Code and the La Jolla Shores PDO allow these current uses and parking to be grandfathered in. I am willing to make myself available 24/7 at your convenience to meet with you individually or as a group and a Neighborhood Code Compliance Officer to discuss your claims. If you choose not to meet with me, perhaps a retraction statement in next week’s paper would be appropriate. Mr. Whittemore, would you and your consultant, the president of LJCPA, Tony Cristfi, meet with me, my consultants and a Neighborhood Code Compliance Officer to discuss the code violations on your property and your neighbor’s property to the north?

You described my letter as an inappropriate and politically motivated attack on Sherri Lightner. What comments in my previous letter to my councilperson were politically motivated?

Was it the picture I found on Sherri’s Facebook page of our councilwoman embracing Myrna Naegle, the property owner of 2210, at the councilwoman’s campaign kickoff picnic?

Nevertheless, thank you for coming forward and updating our community on the code violations at 2210 Avenida De La Playa (2210). Based on your response, the denial of a DS-18 exemption from the city of San Diego and after almost two years of delay, perhaps our community can now rest assured the violations are not being ignored and they will be corrected to code in a timely fashion. I am perplexed, however, as to why you failed to mention the status of the code violations of the president of La Jolla Shores Tomorrow’s building at 2226 Avenida De La Playa. Is it Mr. Woods’ intentions to also bring his building into compliance?

When the Child Becomes the Parent Watching our parents lose their independence is one of the most challenging realities we will encounter as our parents get older. Our parents have made decisions for and about us and themselves for many years but when a child is called upon to start making hard decisions about their parents; it can be an emotional roller-coaster.

Sitting down and talking to a parent about their desires for the future should they become incapacitated is not always easy. Discussions must be made about medications, finances and advanced directives but sometimes those discussions are easier said than done. This is the time to call a Geriatric Care Manager who will talk with the entire family on decisions and challenges in the present and future.

A knowledgeable expert in the field of geriatrics can help families make the right

Dozens of San Diego lifeguards descended on Mission Beach last week, sprinting into action with lifesaving buoys, rescue boards, swim caps and dazzling speed.

But this was no real-life mass ocean rescue. The display was all part of the annual Ron Trenton Memorial Lifeguard Relays — a public contest putting rescue skills and team cooperation to the test while invigorating San Diego’s lifeguards with a friendly competition among brethren.

Now in its 59th year, the relays drew scores of lifeguards and spectators from the city’s respective zones for the sunset showdown: Northern Division (representing La Jolla-area beaches); Central Divi-

sion (South Mission Beach, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and north Pacific Beach); Southern Division (Ocean Beach, Point Loma and Mission Bay); and members of the San Diego Lifeguard Services’ Boating Safety Division.

The relays included twelve legs demonstrating the different rescue techniques used in ocean rescues: running, swimming, paddle-rescue boarding and landline rescue.

This year saw each division take, and then lose the lead over the course of the hour-long relay race in what many observers crowned the tightest, most competitive lifeguard relays in recent memory.

Ultimately, the Central Division displayed the most depth. Placing second was

the Northern Division, followed by the Southern Division and finally the Boating Safety Unit.

The win for the Central Division marked a second-straight victory over their counSEE LIFEGUARDS, Page 11

Future of biofuel may lie in the green stuff

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS cientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), in a partnership with Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), are busy at work proving that it is indeed easy to be green.

The subject of the collaborative effort is one that swimmers, surfers and other ocean lovers are familiar with. It is abundantly available, as is the scientific talent needed to study it, in San Diego. It is often mislabeled — unfairly, according to one researcher — as slimy or scummy. It is marine algae, and it could be the answer to the country’s oiladdiction woes and skyrocketing gas prices.

SIO, a member organization of the San Diego Center for Algae Biotechnology, has been the center of studies for several years on the use of algae as a clean, renewable biofuel. Researchers are hoping they can take the advantages of algae one step further, by leveraging its natural ability to absorb CO2 in the environment and convert it into oil-rich biomass or biomethane, or refined into fossil

For Bryan Sanchez, a fourth-year student at CSU, Northridge, the Summer Research Conference marked the culmination of a 10-week research internship at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The Scripps Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) engages students in earth, ocean and atmospheric research.

Under the guidance of faculty mentor Jeff Gee, director of the geosciences research division, Sanchez is studying paleomagnetic sediments of the Salton Sea and Papua New Guinea.

UCSD’s numerous programs enable undergraduates to get research training with faculty who are leading experts in their fields. Many of these programs are focused on supporting lowincome or underrepresented students, including the CAMP Science Program, the MARC Schol-

The University of California, San Diego is ranked the 15th best university in world and its life sciences program is ranked ninth, according to the 2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) that was released Aug. 15 by the Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Other UC San Diego ARWU subject field rankings include natural sciences and mathematics (20th), engineering (12th), clinical medicine and pharmacy (21st), social science (25th), mathematics (25th), chemistry (13th), computer science (14th) and economics (17th).

ARWU evaluated more than 1,200 universities, ranking them by several indicators of academic or research performance, including alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, highly cited researchers, papers published in Nature and Science, papers indexed in major citation indices and the per capita academic performance of an institution.

ARWU did not rank arts and humanities and psychology/psychiatry.

Neurosciences Institute makes a local move The Neurosciences Research Foundation has announced that, in the early fall, its theoretical and experimental research arm, The Neurosciences Institute, will be moving to new headquarters in the village of La Jolla in a setting that will allow continuation of its fundamental research in neurobiology. Other programs of the foundation will continue in two locations, in California and on the east coast.

Since 1981, The Neurosciences Institute has been dedicated to understanding the brain for the benefit of humankind. Under the leadership of Nobel Laureate Gerald M. Edelman, the Institute focuses its research on the principles underlying how we perceive and act on the world, how we learn and remember, and how consciousness arises.

The institute will continue to emphasize its theoretical work while reorganizing its experimental research program.

Weight-management study seeks for patients for trial

Research conference showcases young scholars Undergraduate students from San Diego’s major universities presented their research at the 2012 Summer Research Conference at UC San Diego on Aug. 16. About 240 young scholars participated, representing UCSD; CSU, San Marcos; San Diego State University and the University of San Diego, as well as students from institutions across the country.

“The Summer Research Conference really showcases San Diego as the place to be for undergraduate research,” said David Artis, dean of Undergraduate Research Initiatives at UCSD. Michelle Fu, a senior at UCSD majoring in bioengineering, is working on an external artificial pancreas for diabetes patients as part of the Amgen Scholars Program, an intensive 10week research program at UCSD.

Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas For 19 years running, La Jolla has been the home of an annual gathering of the most famous names in surfdom, including such icons as Tubesteak Tracy, George “Mysto” Carr, Robert “Wingnut” Weaver, and the original “Gidget,” Kathy Zuckerman. It’s the Luau and Longboard Invitational, founded in 1994 by Sam Armstrong and John Otterson, and internationally renowned for drawing the largest participation of Surf Legends. It’s also one of the world’s most successful surfing fundraisers, having raised about $6 million for cancer research and treatment.

Obviously, it’s not just for surfers.

Everyone knows others who have suffered from cancer, and the event is a benefit for the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Artists, business professionals, healthcare providers, scientists, local politicians and caring community members join together to support the fight against this disease.

The fun began Sunday morning at 7 a.m. on the beach below Scripps Pier. Sponsored teams of five, each including an assigned Surf Legend, vied for trophies in the invitational surfing tournament — but the real emphasis was on participation and support for the cause. While spectators were welcome to watch for free, the social highlight of the day was the luau and reception, which had a ticket price of $150. Announced with an 11:30 a.m. conch shell blowing on the beach, this popular party drew a crowd of perhaps 600 eager supporters, who enjoyed improved accommodations this year in a huge big-top tent above the cliffs overlooking the beach.

The festivities were fueled with rum and vodka specialty drinks from several bars, and a luxurious luau buffet provided by Giuseppe Fine Catering.

Four sets of buffet tables meant no

long lines, and guests savored such island delights as Waimanalo-style chopped salad, Forbidden Rice Pilaf, Red Bliss potatoes, Buddha Vegetables Trilogy, Wasabe-Panko crusted North Pacific cod, pulled Berkshire pork shoulder and Above: Brion Murray (research fellow, oncology), Peter O’Brien miso brined Petaluma (associate research fellow), Bhasker Shetty (vice president, Pfizer chicken thighs.

It was a true tropical feast, on a par with Hawaii’s best, and accompanied 195 7-2 012 by authentic island music and dancing by Heali’i’s Polynesian Revue (they’ve performed at this event for the last 13 years). The Rell Sunn “Queen of Makaha” award is given each year to a leader in the battle against cancer — an individual who combines unselfishness and compassion with true aloha spirit. Roger Tsein, Ph.D., a UCSD professor and 2008 Nobel Prize laureate whose lab has developed novel techniques for imaging and delivering specially targeted drugs to tumors, was this year’s recipient.

There was a rather active silent auction, and the live auction saw Steve Hamann swiftly sell six surfboards for significant sums. (One, a Skip Frye 30th anniversary longboard restored

by Joe Roper, went for $6,500.) This year’s event artist was Kevin Walsh, who donated his talents in memory of three family members lost to cancer in a single year. The original painting of the surfing scene he designed for the program cover brought $4,000 in the auction. Overall, the event raised $347,000. On stage near the end of the event, co-chairs Brandon Moyles and Kylor Schlaht presented a big symbolic check for that amount to Moores Cancer Center director Scott T O R I E S O F Y I F E Lippman.

August 4th - September 15th The luau concluded with presentation of trophies for the surfing contest RECEPTION: August 25 th , 6-8pm (first place went to the A-1 Storage team). Next year will be the event’s 20th anniversary, and “founding grandfathers” Armstrong and Otterson will return to chair it on Aug. 18, 2013.

SRI unveils new findings in healing wounds Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have made a breakthrough in understanding a class of cells that help wounds in skin and other epithelial tissues heal, uncovering a molecular mechanism that pushes the body into wound-repair mode.

The findings focus on cells known as gamma delta T cells. The study demonstrates a skin-cell receptor hooks up with a receptor on gamma delta T cells to stimulate wound healing.

“This is a major activation pathway for gamma delta T cells, and it may be a key to treating slow-wound-healing conditions, such as we see in diabetes,” said Scripps Research Professor Wendy L. Havran, senior author of the study. “Chronic non-healing wounds among diabetics and the elderly are an increasing clinical problem.”

Researchers ID copper’s role in prion disease

Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have discovered that copper can facilitate prion disease.

Prion disease is familiar to most from its incarnation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (“mad cow disease”). The condition is caused by the abnormal folding of a protein, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration and death.

While exactly how the protein malfunctions has been shrouded in mystery, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute now report in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that reducing copper in the body delays the onset of disease.

“We’ve known for many years that prion proteins bind copper,” said Scripps Research graduate student Owen Siggs. “But what scientists couldn’t agree on was whether this was a good thing or a bad thing during prion disease. By creating a mutation in mice that lowers the amount of circulating copper by 60 percent, we’ve shown that reducing copper can delay the onset of prion disease.”

LA JOLLA LIVING ALGAE

CONTINUED FROM Page 8 do have to break the cell wall and get the oils out, it’s still easier than crushing bamboo or grass.” The path to an algae-cum-biofueldependent society is not yet entirely paved, however. Various challenges have arisen, most notably the problem of getting algae to grow while still producing the lipid oils that can be converted into biodiesel. Algae, it turns out, generally only produce those lipids when starved for nutrients. When starved for nutrients, however, algae don’t grow well.

Given a healthy diet, algae produce carbohydrates, not lipids. Thus, some Scripps researchers are investigating, as reported in UCSD’s Explorations Now magazine, how genes are turned on in lipid production, to identify which genes that are induced when lipids are produced.

Another challenge researchers are facing is one of money.

Right now, Mendola said, producing a gallon of algae biofuel is still three times as expensive as fossil fuel oil. That number, however, is a

promising one, he said.

“We’re all encouraged that it’s only two to three times as expensive at this point,” he said. “We can get that number down by economy of scale — the larger [the farm], the more economy of scale you will realize. We have to have some breakthroughs in harvesting, but there are some very smart people who are looking at new methods and procedures, and we all have a lot of faith that we’ll be able to shave the cost down in time.”

If and when the research gets to the point at which it can support a large-scale algal biofuel industry, scientists have no doubt it has the potential to change the landscape of biofuels and the future of how we power our cars, trucks and aircraft.

“It won’t save all of the universe, but it will definitely help,” Mendola said. “We’re here to show that algae is a very productive plant, much more so than terrestrial plants. It’s way far and above as a producer of oil than corn, soy, palm, etc. We still have to refine the systems, select algal strains that are good producers on a reliable basis and get the cost down. But we just started.”

LJVN: Why, in your opinion, has all this fundamental change imploded at one time in the region?

DR: You have a region that’s been characterized by people who were treated as subjects, not as citizens. They had no rights — no right to have expectations or to make demands. Where social media and the Internet have come in is that people suddenly became much more aware

of their own circumstances and they could compare those circumstances to others. We’ve reached the point where the level of indignity and injustice, have all combined, and once it was demonstrated that people-power could remove those leaders who seemed so invulnerable, then it produced what we’ve seen.

This is the beginning of the process, not the end. Nobody at this point could say how it will unfold. Be careful about predictions and retain your humility. No one knows what will happen. The only thing I would say with some degree of confidence is this is a very long process.

It’s a generational process of change. It
