Our research portfolio continues to diversify with an ever growing set of funders representing a very large array of government agencies, private industry, non-profit foundations and individuals. Discoveries by MSI researchers are revealing wondrous new aspects of ocean systems from new insights into the ecology of coral reefs to the effects of ocean acidification. This new knowledge continues to improve our basic understanding of the seas and the wide range of services that they provide to society. I am proud of the contribution that our scientist make to society’s knowledge as these discoveries continually teach us how to be better stewards of the ocean realm. While ocean discovery is key to our mission, MSI researchers also act on this knowledge to solve pressing issues associated with the constructive use of ocean resources.

It is an inspiring facility and location, and it has taken the hard work of many individuals to make it a reality. At UCSB in the 1980’s and 1990’s, Marine Science facilities could be described as dispersed, inadequate, and not up to the standards of a world class research institution. Long-standing efforts to get a facility approved and built had met with no success. However, things began to change with the identification of a State of California program that provided a financing mechanism for research facilities dedicated to long-term scientific activities.

Completing its 7th year of operation, NNIN provides a distributed facilities‐ based infrastructure resource that is openly accessible to the nation’s students, scientists and engineers from academe, small and large companies, and national laboratories. It enables the reduction of nanotechnology based ideas to practice by providing the capacity to explore materials, structures, devices and systems through access to tools, training and specialized staff support– all at affordable cost, with minimum administrative barriers and with only a few weeks of preparation following initial contact. NNIN also provides computational resources with an emphasis on advanced scientific computing and modeling at the nanoscale, Figure 1: Institutions of NNIN and the experimental research & particularly in support of experimental efforts, development usage of NNIN during 2010‐11. and in building repositories of trusted critical scientific information, e.g., interatomic and pseudopotentials.

My name is Jason Garshfield, and I am running for AS president with the Free Thinking Patriots, a party I helped found. As president: I will do my part to improve the affordability of a UCSB education by carefully reviewing the AS budget and eliminating all wasteful spending of our student fees. I will take a stand against the burgeoning police state in Isla Vista. In a community where violent crimes such as sexual assault are all too common, we should devote limited police resources towards apprehending dangerous criminals, not hassling students for victimless crimes. I will preserve Isla Vista's identity as a unique niche community. I will be a strong advocate for free speech, expanding 'free speech zones' on campus and eliminating speech codes that curtail students' freedom of expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has given UCSB a “yellow lightâ€​ ranking for its speech codes. I consider this Jason Garshfield unacceptable for a university of our caliber. Free Thinking Patriots (F.T.P.) I will develop a credible plan for Isla Vista self-governance that allows this town to reach its full potential, and creates spaces for responsible businesses that serve the community. I will reform AS by simplifying the elections code, eliminating cumbersome regulations that serve as barriers to entry for ordinary students who would like to become involved in school politics.
