HIGHLIGHTS:<\/b> Walton helps Challenged Athletes Foundation<\/b> The Colosseum Fine Arts gallery will host a benefit for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) on Saturday, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. with the help of basketball legend Bill Walton and artist Danny Day. Day\u2019s artwork, along with that of several others, including Jane Seymour, will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds going toward the CAF, which helps people with physical disabilities become involved in athletic sports. In addition to the CAF fundraising gallery benefit, the Tour de Cove spin-cycling fundraiser will be held Oct. 24 at La Jolla Cove and is open for registration at www.tourdecove2010.kintera.org.

Wine tasting magic show duo is Friday<\/b> The Neurosciences Institute presents a wine-tasting and magic show extravaganza. World-renowned magician Mark Mitton will perform, but before the magic is underway, institute founder and Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman will share insight about the science behind illusion and the brain\u2019s perception of magic. The event will raise funds for the institute\u2019s ground-breaking research on how the brain works.
