BONSALL — The county has notched another small link in its long-range plans to create a nine-mile linear park along North County’s San Luis Rey River by deciding last week to buy a 60-acre parcel in Bonsall that was once the northern section of the now defunct San Luis Rey Downs golf course.

The $3.1 million purchase brings the number of acres acquired for the park to 533. Some day, many years from now, the scenic park will spread across 1,600 acres that line both sides of the river, stretching from eastern Oceanside all the way to Interstate 15 in Fallbrook.

The golf course land was an unforseen addition to the project. When the master plan for the park was created more than a decade ago, nobody anticipated San Luis Rey Downs— one of the oldest golf courses in the county — would ever go out of business.

“I don’t think anybody could have foreseen getting to this point, but it creates a great opportunity for the community,” said Jake Enriquez, a district manager with the county’s park and recreation department.

The San Luis Rey Downs property is adjacent to land that had already been earmarked for eventual park purchase. When the golf course shut down in August of 2014, its owners approached the county about buying the site, officials said.

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) is rumored to be working on an Uber competitor that will, in the eyes of Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas at least, shake the foundations of the auto world. Elon Musk, the firm’s visionary CEO, had better watch out however, as a 16 year old from Playa Vista, California just might get there first. Haydn Sonnad is the founder and leader of Tesloop, a firm that aims to make travel in a Tesla Motors Model S open to everyone.

Since earlier this year Tesloop has been operating on a single route: Las Vegas to Los Angeles and back. The firm charges $85 for a single trip and aims to compete with regional airlines on price, luxury and convenience. That plan appears to be working. Haydn, who takes the title Chief Evangelism Officer, says that the real limit is the number of cars that he can get his hands on.

The Model S is immobile, that’s the first problem

While the rest of the world, and Mr. Jonas of Morgan Stanley, waits for Tesla Motors to emerge and make Tesla Motors Mobility a reality, Mr. Sonnad, along with his father and other backers, is making a Tesla sharing service a reality. The problem that Haydn saw is the same that Mr. Jonas recognizes. Teslas are amazing cars, but they’re just not used enough.

The average Tesla Motors

Dassault Systèmes Releases End-to-End Solution for BioPharma

In recent years, Dassault Systèmes’ go-to-market model has largely been based around creating specialized solutions for different verticals.

The “Industry Solution Experiences,” as Dassault calls them, have grown to cover most industries, from traditional areas like aerospace and automotive to less “PLM typical” industries like fashion and financial services.

Earlier this week, the French PLM developer launched three new solutions focused specifically on the BioPharma vertical.

The solutions named “ONE Lab,” “Designed to Cure” and “Made to Cure for BioPharma” will complement the existing “License to Cure for BioPharma.” 

This offers an end-to-end solution for the design, development and production of novel therapeutics.

Seen from an industry challenge perspective, this move certainly make sense.

Developing new drugs is not only difficult from a regulatory and competitive perspective. The industry spends more on RD than the aerospace and automotive industries combined. However, the success rate of new drug development from its initial concept phase is less than one percent.

For Dassault, this move is hardly surprising as the company has made significant investments into this space. The largest move in this direction was the acquisition of Scientific Product Lifecycle Management software Accelrys at the end of last year for $750 million.

According to Dassault, the new suite of solutions will enable pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to work in a single digital environment. This will streamline both the scientific and operational processes for developing new drugs. 

These solutions will allow for biological and chemical modeling and
