While • numerous political, economic, and ideological :factors also must be taken into account, Homer Dixon concludes that "water scarcity" has been a factor in at least one i,atifada (uprising) in the West Bank and Gaza territories. As citizens of an advanced industrial society, we tend to look for a technological fix to pro~ lems, and the escalating freshwater shortfall is no exception. Cleansing sea water of its salt and mineral content would provide a never-ending supply of potable water. The basic desalinization process, as de Villiers notes, is simple high school chemistry: water is heated, evaporated to remove salt and other dissolved minerals and then cooled back to water. Unfortunately, this distillation method is fraught with difficulties. Also, the logistics and costs of desaUoi:r.ation indi cate that this process will supply no more than a fraction of humanity's freshwater needs in the coming years.

Although it is unlikely that water issues alone will lead to a major war, shortages of this most essential resource will elevate tension in parts of the world already plagued with deep animosity and suspicion. This, in turn, can only increase the chances that some other issue or incident will trigger a conflict A Canadian legis1ator stated recently that "Water is the commodity of the next century, and those ,who control it could be in a position to control the world's economy." While arguably an overstatement, will this perspective nonethe less be embraced by individuals and organiza tions already hostile to water-rich Western nations? - The attacks of Sept 11 demonstrated that we are not immune from the hatred of people in far off 1ands. Water shortage issues may become an increasingly important component of both terror ist motivation and a terrorist agenda in the near future.

An increase in initial claims for unemployment insurance was the biggest factor pulling down the index from the Uni versity of San Diego. Buildin pennits and stock prices of lo cally based companies also fell. Alan Gin, the USD business professor who compiles the in dex, said he believes the econo my will pick up strength later this year. But he s,nd the de clines in the index suggest that it could take several months for a strong recovery to emerge. "It may take longer than ex pected for the local economy to hit full stride," Gin said, "with a full recovery probably being pushed back until the end of the year." Thus far, San Diego County's economy has weathered the re cession much better than mo t other regions of the country. Employers in San Diego have continued to add workers, though at a slower pace than before, while the national econ omy has shed jobs. The county's unemployment rate for May was 3. 7 percent, compared with the national rate of 5.5 percent Four consecutive increases in USD's index from December through March suggested that San Diego might already be head~ for recovery. And the May index continued to show positive signs, including a small improvement in help wanted advertising and an increase in consumer confidence. Overall, the index fell 0.3 per cent, after falling 0.2 percent in April. 22 Thomas Kupper: (619) 293-1037; [email protected] San Diego Business Journal June 17, 2002 ~ The San Diego Business Journal and The University of San Diego's Family-Owned~ Family Business Forum Businesses present The 2nd Annual Family-Owned Business Awards Sponsored by Union Bank of California "Recognizing the accomplishments of San Diego County's family-owned businesses. 11 August 28, 2002 Family-owned businesses play a crucial role in San Diego County's economy, a role too frequently overlooked in today's fast-paced environment of start-ups and me,rgers.

Nominations will go out to financial institutions, attorneys, consulting firms, and the San Diego business community at large.

Warren and Timothy Shannon, regulator of physician the insurers' association, also criticized the Medical Board for not being a tougher performance. said Shannon. "They "I agree the medical board has been subjected to serious criticism over the years," to see how this have all these tools , but for some reason they are still screwing up.

Most of those complaints never become publ ic. 6/1 ' 34 http://www.chcf.org/healthcurrents/ a rlealthCare Foundation: Health Currents Page 3 ot _ Revelations included instances of physicians with multiple lawsuit judgments and apparently serious performance problems who continued practicing medicine, with few board-prompted legal impediments, and whose records have not been made available to patients as part of their physician selection process. The Medical Board in mid-May voted to place all settlement information on its Web site, pending approval by the Legislature. Gary Gitnick, M.D., a UCLA gastroenterologist and the board's new president, told the Los Angeles Times, "It clearly is a board that realizes that its prime reason for existence is public protection. And one element of public protection is making it possible for any member of the public to learn as much as they can about their physicians, both good and bad." National Demand for Information Demand for information on physician performance is nationwide, according to the Federation of State Medical Boards, a national organization that represents 70 medical professional licensing boards in the 50 states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. Some 50 of the nation's 70 medical boards have Web sites that contain at least rudimentary physician information, which is double the number of Web sites from 1999, according to federation figures. Massachusetts was the first state in the country to release physician records, putting its system into place in 1996, and is considered a national leader in public reporting on physician performance. It releases malpractice judgments and settlements by a doctor, but also includes the number of physicians in that doctor's specialty, the number of doctors who have made malpractice payments in the last ten years, and whether the payment amount was average, above average, or below average for its type. Massachusetts also includes a disclaimer on the weak link between malpractice judgments and provider competence, long a sore point among physicians. Proponents of SB 1950 point to states such as Massachusetts and Florida, which posts all malpractice claims paid out on physicians for the past 20 years, as proof that such programs do not cause the kinds of problems that opponents say they will. However, the CMA and the malpractice insurers' association point out that physicians in California can refuse to settle a malpractice case, while doctors in Massachusetts cannot.

" fRONTPAGE -115L, Out on the Field Homophobia in Sport Project works to end fear and prejudice in the world of sports By MIKE McKEE RECORDER STAFF WRITER bile attending college, Julie Baird, who later joined the professional tennis tour, put W up a false front, playing straight and dating men to conceal the fact that she was lesbian. She saw other women doing the same thing on the tennis circuit and at the Uni versity of San Diego, where she later coached the sport. Baird says they would all "over-heterosexualize." "You wear makeup to the matches or the gym, or you don't go to the cafe after work because you' re in your sweats," says Baird, who's now an associate in the San Francis co office of San Diego's Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps. "I dated some nice guys," she says, "but it just felt like something was wrong." Baird and a whole host of lawyers and sports specialists at San Francisco's Na tional Center for Lesbian Rights would love to see the day when gay and lesbian athletes don't have to pretend- when they don't worry about losing friends, team mates, positions or jobs if they come out of the closet. So they've started the Homophobia in Sport Project. Leading the program is Helen Carroll, See GROUP page 10 HELEN CARROLL: The NCLR's athletic diver sity specialist is a former basketball coach whose team won the 1984 championship of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. 70 Continued frbm page 1 NCLR's athletic diversity specialist and a former basketball coach whose team won the 1984 championship of the National As sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics. The goal is no less than to end homophobia in the realm of sports - from badminton to football and basketball to soccer. "We have been so closeted in athletics that we don't even know how to seek help," Carroll says. "[Athletes] need to know they have a place to go if they are being treated unfairly." Carroll's legal team is focusing its pri mary efforts on the high school and col lege levels, where there are some legal protections already in place. Educating coaches, players and atWetic directors is the first tack, but suits could ensue if the team encounters hard-liners. "We're not going to stay out of the courts," Carroll says adamantly. And she says evidence that suits could be necessary is highlighted by the history of Title IX, the landmark 1972 legislation that banned sexual discrimination in ath letics and academics. "It didn't really start becoming effective," Carroll says, "until the student athletes start ed suing the schools. No movement hap pened on it until it got in the courts." There's also Title VII, which the U.S. Su~reme Court used in 1989 in Price Wa terhouse v. Hopkins, 490 U.S. 228, to find actionable discrimination based on gender stereotyping. Nine years later, the high court interpreted Title VII to cover same-sex harassment in Oncale v. Sun downer Offshore Services, 523 U.S. 75 . In a recent article on sports homopho bia in the Berkeley Women's Law Jour nal, Baird explained how Title VII could be used to help gay athletes. "An expanded interpretation of the 'be cause ... of sex' language in Title VII," she wrote, "would ... open the door for an expansion of the 'on the basis of sex' lan guage in Title IX, which could then be used to protect both coaches and student athletes. Under this argument, protection would be available under current law." 71 NEW HAVEN REGISTER (METRO EDITION) NEW HAVEN, CT SATURDAY 100,443 JUN 15 2002 I11111111111111111 IIIIII Ill lllll 1111111111111111111111111111 BUTTelle's l#l'OltMArJO• SEttVICES 49 TF . xz2aq 28 XX ... b if - - -- /UNH hires Walters 1 lhe Univiiv-?tNt Haven has hired Mimi Walters as its women's basketball.coach.
