    SUMMER 2019 VOL. 15 NO. 2 THE MAGAZINE OF CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY MARITIME ACADEMY ` 90TH ANNIVERSARY 2 | OCEANOGRAPHY MAJOR 4 | COMMENCEMENT 12 From the President Ninety years ago, an act of the California State Legislature signed by Governor C.C. Young established the California Nautical School. The landscape…or seascape…of the maritime profession began to seismically shift almost immediately as—even before the first cadets arrived at the former U.S. Navy coaling sheds in Tiburon—the nation’s economy was sinking into the Great Depression. Yet, within a decade the United States, and Cal Maritime, would find itself in a swift build up to World War II. Our entire Academy history has been routinely, and sometimes unevenly, influenced and impacted by changes and events that range from geopolitical to national to local. In every case during the last 90 years, Cal Maritime continually adapted to meet the chal- lenges and ferret out the opportunities presented by events not of our making. THE CAL MARITIME CAMPUS IN THE 1980s. It is probably fitting then that this issue of Cal Maritime magazine, which unabashedly celebrates our Academy’s 90th Anniversary, includes stories highlighting the current PRESIDENT THOMAS A. CROPPER evolution of our Academy; from emerging academic offerings and curricula to continuing improvement of hands-on learning facilities to campus-wide efforts to increase sustain- able practices. Properly anticipating and responding to change—often the kinds of change brought on by technology, markets and society—has sustained our wonderful Academy and the maritime profession it serves for nine decades. Leading that evolution—whether it be on the grounds of your alma mater or in the maritime profession through the stature of our alumni—allows the Cal Maritime family to shape solutions to the ever-changing needs of the maritime and related industries.

This makes the pool of general faculty members who fit the criteria for the seats limited to tenure line Librarians, of which there are about 8. Senator Mola queried the reasoning behind holding the Senate Officer Elections during the next meeting (March 10, 2020), noting that teaching schedules are set for next Fall, and if he were willing to run for a seat that is afforded WTU release time, he wouldn’t be able to accept them.

    PLANNING FOR BROADBAND: An Evaluation of California’s High Speed Internet Infrastructure Programs Ryan G. Miller A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2014 Committee: Manish Chalana Jan Whittington Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Urban Planning 1 ©Copyright 2014 Ryan G. Miller 2 3 University of Washington ABSTRACT Planning for Broadband: An Evaluation of California’s High Speed Internet Infrastructure Programs Ryan G. Miller 2014 63 pages Chair of the Thesis Supervisory Committee: Manish Chalana Assistant Professor Department of Urban Design and Planning This thesis assesses the implementation of the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF), which expands broadband Internet service to high-need communities in rural California. I examine 25 successful projects funded by the program as well as one large project which failed to obtain funding from the program – dubbed Golden Bear Broadband. By pulling from the fields of economics, philosophy, and political science, I attempt to understand how the planning process for CASF projects affects the program’s goal of serving high need communities. I also examine equity issues surrounding the program’s funding mechanism and policy objectives. By reconstructing the stakeholder agreements made in planning for Golden Bear Broadband, I show that the planning process lead to a project design that was forced to stray from program objectives. I conclude with recommendations for reforming broadband subsidization policy in California and observations about how alternate plans for service expansion are currently being carried out in rural parts of the state. 4 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research would not have been possible without the encouragement and support I received from mentors and colleagues at every step of the process.

Seeds are planted and events occur which may drive decisions, and prompt responding actions. Nor do any viable organizations or bodies remain static and unchanging. In fact, survival and growth are often dependent on change, stress, testings, and unforeseen experiences and events. The history of The California Maritime Academy is no different. While Cal Maritime’s history officially begins when it was authorized in 1929, the school has evolved with the times, and is now more dynamic and ready for the future, mainly because of its experiences in the past. The history recorded here is derived from the files and documents stored in The California Maritime Academy Historical Archives.

In fiscal year 2018-19, the University received over $370 million in new gift receipts from individuals and organizations that support the mission and success of the University, 98 percent of which has a donor-designated purpose. These funds are no substitute for the core support from the State of California, but they represent a critical investment in the future. The generosity of the University’s donors truly makes a difference for students. Philanthropic giving funds scholarships that make college affordable, pays for equipment and facility improvements, supports immersive learning experiences and bolsters many other areas of the University. Section 89720 of the Education Code requires the California State University to submit a report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the Department of Finance on private gifts received from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

  • Shipboard Ballast Water Treatment Facility Training Ship Golden Bear—Vallejo, California a Ship’S Untreated Ballast Water Can Have Serious Environmental Consequences
    Shipboard Ballast Water Treatment Facility Training Ship Golden Bear—Vallejo, California A ship’s untreated ballast water can have serious environmental consequences. When a ship is empty of cargo, it must fill with ballast water to maintain its stability, trim, and structural integrity. When the ship loads cargo in a distant port, it discharges its ballast water along with any aquatic life it contains. This aquatic life may out-compete native species and multiply into pest proportions. Problems directly resulting from invasive species include the collapse of entire commercial fisheries, the displacement of native seabed communities, and the red tide contamination absorbed by filter-feeding shellfish, among many others affecting the environment and human health. The Training Ship Golden Bear will help to combat these problems by serving as a shipboard ballast water treatment testing facility, with its operational goal set for late 2009. Owned by the US Maritime Administration (MARAD) and run by the California Maritime Academy (CMA), the facility will be used as a research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDTE) facility, providing impartial science to serve the needs of the maritime and environmental regulatory world. This program will: Provide access to an operational ship with purpose-built laboratories to researchers working on ballast water treatment solutions. Reduce the high costs associated with current shipboard testing. Increase the standardization and quality control of shipboard experiments. Educate merchant marine cadets and general student populations on ballast water issues. Golden Bear will function as a “plug and play” platform for research teams, regardless of how they approach the treatment challenge. Researchers will be able to install their system in a standard 20-foot shipping container, using connection specifications provided by the facility to access ballast water tanks, electricity, and ancillaries.

  • Draft CCP/EA Appendices
    Appendix B. Compatibility Determinations Compatibility Overview Compatibility is a tool refuge managers use to ensure that recreation and other uses do not interfere with wildlife conservation – the primary focus of refuges. For purposes of this document, uses include any recreational, economic/commercial, pest/predator control, or other use of the refuge by the public or a non-Service entity. Compatibility is not new to the Refuge System and conceptually dates back to 1918. As policy, it has been used since 1962. The Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (Recreation Act) directed the Secretary of Interior to allow only those public uses of refuge lands that were “compatible with the primary purposes for which the area was established.” This law also required that adequate funds be available for administration and protection of refuges before opening them to any public uses. Legally, refuges are closed to all public uses until officially opened through a compatibility determination. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 set a compatibility standard which refuge managers used until new compatibility regulations, required by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (Improvement Act), were adopted. The Improvement Act maintains a compatibility standard but provides more detail regarding the standard and the process, and requires the process be promulgated in regulations. It also requires that a use must be compatible with both the mission of the System and the purposes of the individual refuge, which helps to ensure consistency in application across the System. The Improvement Act also requires that the public have an opportunity to comment on use evaluations.
