Honor Roll of Donors 2009–10 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS Dear Friends, As we celebrate UC San Diego’s 50th Anniversary year, we recognize that the university’s incredible ascent in higher education is the result of the hard work and fortitude of many stellar individuals. Among these visionaries are donors, faculty, and administrators who had the courage and foresight to dream big. UC San Diego now ELLOR ranks among the very top institutions in the world, many of which have hundreds of years of history. C Collectively, your generosity during fiscal year 2009–10 contributed $147 million in support of our campus. These vital contributions encourage students to pursue advanced degrees and allow us to retain award-winning faculty, care for patients, and advance significant research. Two noteworthy gifts from longtime UC San Diego supporters deserve mention. The generous pledge from Joan and Irwin Jacobs of $75 million for the new Jacobs Medical Center is the catalyst we need to change health care as we know it in our region. Generations of patients and their families will benefit from the Jacobs family’s unprecedented gift to Health Sciences. Rita and Richard Atkinson’s thoughtful commitment of $5.7 million for graduate THE CHAN fellowships represents the largest gift to date for Invent the Future: The UC San M Diego Student Support Campaign. As former chancellor and UC president, Richard and his wife, Rita, personally understand that graduate students spur innovation and research, as well as support undergraduate instruction. I am enormously grateful to you and all of our donors. Your generous gifts support our students and faculty in their education and research endeavors, which has allowed our campus to grow and evolve tremendously in the last fifty years. I look forward to the future as we continue to achieve the extraordinary, and I am truly honored to be here at this time in UC San Diego’s history.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

    San Diego Public Library TÇÇâtÄ exÑÉÜà 2000/01 The Mission of San Diego Public Library is to . Respond to the information needs of San Diego’s diverse communities. Ensure equal access to local, national and global resources. Anticipate and address the educational, cultural, business and recreational interests of the public. Develop and provide welcoming environments. DIRECTOR’ S MESSAGE Looking back on the past two years reminds me of the many accomplishments we've achieved for the San Diego Public Library. We moved forward on three capital improvement projects, beginning construction on the Mission Valley Branch Library and receiving generous donations from community members to expand both the Point Loma and the La Jolla/Florence Riford Branch Libraries. We held a variety of popular cultural events, from author presentations to concerts; welcomed chil- dren to our libraries and inspired their love of reading and learning; and reached out to the public through community events and media partnerships. Additionally, extended weekday hours were added at seven branches and Sunday hours were added at four. All were signif- icant advancements for the Library as we entered the new millennium. These achievements make us even more excited for the year to come. The new fiscal year also brought great news for the Library system. The new City Council, led by the efforts of Mayor Dick Murphy and Councilmember Jim Madaffer, showed great support for the library system on July 30, 2001, by unanimously voting to transfer $1 million to the newly formed Foundation for San Diego Central and Branch Library System as seed money for fundraising efforts.

  • Raising Capital
    RAISING CAPITAL 1. As Dr. Tina Berger, COO, Prizm Pharmaceuticals told Congresswoman Lynn Schenck, Friday, "Biotech companies need to raise as much as $250 million to bring a new pharmaceutical drug to market." "The money has to come from somewhere, and the only choices are from large pharmaceutical companies or the public market. Both of these sources depend upon profits. When Congress knocks the profitability of drugs and vaccines, they are directly reducing our ability to raise money," she added. 2. At the Biomedical Industry Council meeting,David Hale said that he had just completed a visit with sixty analysts, and every one had asked questions relating to Congress' attack on the pharmaceutical industry. One industry source observed, "Society can't have it both ways - low drug prices and state-of-the-art medicine. Someone has to pay." 3. As a possible direct casualty of the Congress-induced drop in pharmaceutical stock prices, Amy/in Pharmaceuticals Inc cancelled plans for a secondary stock offering of 2.5 million shares. Amylin's share prices have dropped from $14.25 to $11.25 since January. WARD VALLEY 4. The recently formed San Diego County Science Advisory Board heard testimony from WWO and Ken Helms, UCSD Radiation Control Officer regarding Ward Valley and society's need for a Low-level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) disposal site. The Council will send a recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors that the Ward Valley site holds minimum risk to the health and safety of citizens and is greatly superior to on-site storage.

Trojan Women follows the survivors, the women of Troy who watched their city burn and their loved ones butchered by the Greeks who now claim them as spoils of war.

  • Uncivil Liberties and Libertines: Empire in Decay
    Uncivil Liberties and Libertines: Empire in Decay MARIANNE MCDONALD 1. I’ve been a film nut from the time my parents would park me in a film theatre as their form of baby-sit- ting. My father invented phone vision, which was an early version of cablevision that allowed us to see newly released movies at home on our round television screen, which looked like an old Bendix washing machine. I wrote one of the earliest books on classics in cinema—and soon after, more books on the topic followed mine.1 I looked forward to seeing the films described in Ancient Rome, many of which I had not seen because I have avoided blood-fest films which invite being described with gore-filled ecstasy. (I have also avoided slasher movies, holocaust movies, and kiddie movies because they disturbed my possibly misguided sensi- bility.) The choices of films in Elena’s Theodorakopoulos’ book are all the work of interesting directors—some better than others, but the quality is, for the most part, high. The writ- ers for all these film scripts are generally outstanding. Good photography also seems to be a given. As we are told in the conclusion, “Whatever the story, spectacle is never far from Rome.” The key to assessing these treatments lies in the interpreta- tion of the portrayal of violence. Are we, the audience, ad- miring it? Calling for it, as we call for it in films by Quentin Tarentino, beginning with Reservoir Dogs (1992), or the se- ries called Saw, the seventh version (2010) now in 3-d?
