City offices to close in observance of Veterans Day
In observance of Veterans Day, all City of San Diego offices and most city facilities will be closed on Nov. 11.
Because of the holiday, refuse and recyclables will be picked up one day later than normal every day of the week, meaning that items normally collected on Veterans Day will be picked up on Nov. 12, and so on until Nov. 16. The collection schedule will return to normal on Nov. 18.
The Central Library and all other branch libraries will be closed. Torrey Pines and Balboa municipal golf courses will remain open.

Bowers has received numerous academic scholarships and awards, including the Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism Best Student Paper Award from the American Geophysical Union and she also authored a study concerning the Earth’s magnetic field last year that was published in the Journal of Geothermal Research.
Career Services Center redesigns Web site
The UCSD Career Services Center has redesigned its Web site, http://career.ucsd.edu, with new and enhanced features.
The new homepage now features three key sections: “”Services,”” “”Resources”” and “”Programs/Events.”” Frequently visited links are included as well, such as career exploration, the Internship SuperSite, networking, and professional and graduate school information. The homepage also offers special sections for students and alumni, faculty and staff, recruiters and parents.
Registered users can access the “”Campus Interviews and Presentations Desktop,”” which allows users to access job and internship listings, manage their resumes and other job search documents, and view schedules of companies that will be conducting interviews or presentations on campus.
Another new feature is the “”Quick Questions”” function, which allows registered users to communicate directly with Career Services staff via e-mail. Staff will try to answer all inquiries within 48 work-day hours.
The Career Services Center is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
