San Diego businessman Floyd Kephart addressed a small crowd on Aug. 25 at Lungomare restau-rant in Jack London Square in Oakland where he said the new stadium deal for the Oakland Raiders had a “50-50” chance of being finalized.

While the report by Kephart and his company New City Devel-opment LLC is private until city, county and team officials go over the details this week, he did note two major changes. Kephart ac-knowledged that one of the most controversial parts of the original deal, a 20 percent sale of the team to New City Development LLC, had been removed from the updat-ed plans.

Kephart also acknowledged that upwards of $80 million for park-ing garages originally assigned to the Raiders to fund would be fold-ed into the overall budget of the project taking the silver and black off the hook for those costs in the updated proposal.

“We have done what we have been asked to do,” Kephart said. “The rest is up to them.”

The updated proposal includes 380,000 square feet of retail space, 3,500 housing units and separate facilities for the A’s, Raid-ers and Warriors, which would be owned by the individual teams. However, A’s owner Lew Wolff has already said he would not be interested in a new stadium next to a football stadium and the 2015 world champion Warriors already have firm plans to move to San Francisco by 2019.

The city of Oakland and Ala-meda County now have to negoti-ate with each other and then the Raiders to figure out how to fund a $400 million gap in the $900 mil-lion project. However, that might be easier said than done since no-ticeably absent from the address were any officials involved in the deal from the city, county or team.

Earlier this month Alameda County pulled out of the deal giv-ing city officials exclusive rights to any stadium development project. The county co-owns the 120 acres adjacent to O.co Coliseum which need to be purchased in order to begin development.

The conduit bond primarily gets its support from revenue generated by the stadium and the surround-ing development,” Kephart said. “This should offset much of the cost. We have proposed that much of that come from a conduit bond that is supported by revenues from the stadium and revenue from the commercial development that will take place in coliseum city.”

The lone official who attended the public meeting was Oakland City Councilmember Larry Reid.

“I want to see a plan to keep the team that does not use a lot of pub-lic money,” Reid said.

The city and the county are still on the hook for nearly $100 mil-lion in renovations to O.co Colise-um when the team returned from Los Angeles in 1995. Kephart met his deadline for his project propos-al and city and county officials are scheduled to review it this week before making any formal an-nouncements.

“It’s their loss, not mine,” Keph-art said.

More than 15 years after its incep-tion, the Cal State East Bay online pro-gram nabbed some national rankings. In August, the website BestSchools.com ranked CSUEB the third best online col-lege in California.

According to the website the criteria for a school making the list include: be-ing an accredited school, offering at least one fully online bachelor’s program, non-profit and the schools disclose all curriculum and tuition information.

In May, the website rated the online hospitality management program at CSUEB the seventh best in the country. Melany Spielman, chair of the Depart-ment of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism at CSUEB, developed the pro-gram.

Brandman University and Califor-nia Baptist University ranked ahead of CSUEB on the list. Fellow CSU’s Chico and Dominguez Hills also ranked on the list at four and seven respectively. The website credited CSUEB’s rap-id growth in recent years and future plans that include converting all on-line courses to the semester system as the primary reasons for their spot on the list. Many if not all of the current courses will have to be redesigned by faculty to meet the semester conversion re-quirements, which is a lot of work, according to Wen.

years our online enrollment has increased dramatically,” Roger Wen, Director of the CSUEB online campus said. “If you take a look at the other schools in the CSU system we are near the top in how many programs and options we offer.”

CSUEB current-ly offers five online bachelor’s degree programs in hos-pitality and tour-ism, business administra-tion, ethnic

studies, human d e v e l o p m e n t

and recreation. The other four programs of-

fered are master’s programs in education, educational leader-

ship, health care administration and recreation and tourism in addition to several options within those programs.

Stephen Andrews, the Marketing Manager for the College of Business and Economics at CSUEB told BestSchools.

com that graduations from the program

have doubled in the online hospitality manage-

ment program and is hopeful more growth will happen once new

options are added. CSUEB has already offered an on-

line accounting option for fall but is unclear when the other two op-

tions for marketing and human resources would be available.Vish Hegdee is a

CSUEB professor in the De-partment of Management for the Col-lege of Business and Economics and also instructs several online courses.

“The in class experience is mainly defined by the interaction of the people in the class,” Hegdee said. “Collabora-tive activities and detailed discussion boards help create an environment where we know each other and a feeling that they are there in the classroom to-gether. Discussions and interactions are the biggest part of classes that I try to do in the online classes as well.”

According to Wen, all online pro-grams are overseen by the chair of the department however, some depart-ments have named online learning co-ordinators who go into all of the classes and checks to make sure they meet the criteria for an online course, in addition to several other duties.

Wen is hopeful that the online ex-perience can replicate the in-person experience as much as possible and be innovative in order to achieve that goal.

“Engagement between students and fac-ulty is important in online classes,” Wen commented.

During in-person classes, students can raise their hand and have their questions answered instantly.

Wen says that they’re trying to create a similar experience through the online pro-gram. “We use tools that will provide a face to face interaction with the instructor on-line through video and streaming. Say stu-dents have a presentation or a project, they can utilize a tool to collaborate and upload videos and increase engagement with fel-low students and staff that can provide an experience that is close the real thing,” he said.

Wen also acknowledged that many CSUEB students work and the online course selection gives those students the opportunity to take classes their schedule would not allow them to.

He also debunked the myth that online classes will help students graduate faster as he noted that the courses still take the same amount of time to complete as the in-person versions.

“If it weren’t for online classes I would still be a freshman,” Environmental Sci-ence major Jessica Michel Ramirez said.

“I have a son and I have to be free by a certain time to pick him up. This limits the time I have to take classes. But with on-line courses, I can login whenever I want and get to work. Some of my best work has come late at night when my son is sleeping, ” Ramirez added.

This fall quarter there will be 21 under-graduate and 10 graduate courses offered to CSUEB’s online degree students.

It took me 12 years, six months and 13 days to finish college.

I’ve been taking college courses since I was 19 and my daughter was 9-months-old. It was incredibly difficult to juggle all of my responsibilities: I had a baby, a full-time school schedule and a 30-hours-per-week work schedule. Sometimes my school load would be-come too much and I would drop a class or two, or all of them.

Sometimes I worked too many hours, or couldn’t work enough hours. Other times I waited eagerly for my unem-ployment check to arrive. I worked for Old Navy, UPS, Nike, Macy’s, Target, FedEx, temp agencies and law firms. I’ve done side jobs to make ends meet. I had to do what I thought was best for my daughter, so I worked as much as I could and sometimes didn’t go to class so I could work extra hours.

As a teen mom, I mostly turned my friends down when they wanted to go out and party. I dropped a class here and there when I was too exhausted to spend time with my daughter. While I was in college, my daugh-ter came first, work was second, and school was last.

The thought always crossed my mind to quit school entirely. I had great jobs with great benefits. I would think to my-self, “All we need is a secure future. Do I really need to finish school? The cost is too high.” Then I would look at my daughter and know I couldn’t just give up. It was important to show her -- and myself -- that a person should finish what they start. It did not matter how real the struggle was. Struggles never stop being real even when you think your life is going smoothly.

But this June, I finally walked across the stage to receive my bachelor’s de-gree in communication from Cal State East Bay. After being in school for what felt like an eternity, I told myself that I was over graduation and did not need to participate in commencement. In addi-tion to CSUEB, I had attended Merritt College in Oakland, Heald College in Hayward, and Saint Mary’s College in Moraga in an effort to get all the classes I needed. I had incurred so much stu-dent debt, that I convinced myself not to spend $84 on a cap and gown.

My mother, after hearing my “I don’t wanna” rant, pursed her lips and stayed quiet. My grandmother bashed me on Facebook and told me I better partici-pate. A week before commencement, my Dad said, “Hey, how come we haven’t heard any dates or information about graduation?” He must have not heard my rant to Mom.

When I gave him the same spiel, he was not at all quiet about it. “That’s not fair. You don’t feel like you need to com-plete this part of your life? Your daugh-ter needs to see you graduate, we need to see you graduate. YOU need to see you graduate.” Then my dad handed me the 84 clams I needed to purchase my cap and gown.

A week before graduation, I picked up my cap, gown, my red stole of gratitude, tickets, parking passes, and graduation announcements. I bought vittles from Michael’s Craft Store to decorate my cap. Dr. Gale Young, the outgoing chair of the communications department, gave me a cord in red and gold, the col-ors of the department.

On the day of graduation, it was a blast of snapchats, selfies, solo cups and screams of excitement. That is until I saw my mom standing in the middle of the crosswalk by the gym with her arms

outstretched waiting for her hug. It was waterworks from both of us.

For a long time I admonished myself for the time it has taken me to finish school. So many nights I stayed awake looking at my daughter sleeping and plagued with shoulda coulda wouldas. She’s been my little soldier through all of these trials and experiences and she is one of the only reasons I did not just quit. Sure it took me a long and winding road to get here, but I can’t help but feel East Bay is where I belonged. At every pit stop in my life I have met exceptional people and encountered extraordinary things. In fact, it was courses taken at CSUEB that caused me to question whether or not I still wanted to go back into law.

It is bittersweet to begin my new job this week as a legal secretary for a firm in downtown San Francisco. I have been copy editor for the Pioneer Newspaper

for the last two years and do not like the finality of stepping down. While it is goodbye to my home and homies at The Pioneer, this week marks the be-ginning of my actual career path.

I’ve held positions in a law office before, but there is something that feels more complete about this move. It feels good to be back into the area of my first love: the law. Legal secre-taries, legal assistants and paralegals are often the unsung heroes in the field, but that doesn’t make the work any less enjoyable or fulfilling for me. Call me crazy, but I love working un-der pressure and being forced to think on my toes.

I’m glad my father talked some sense into me. After trying to finish school for so long, I had lost sight of the importance of celebrating victo-ries. As a single mother, graduating college is definitely a victory.

THE PIONEER

By Louis LaVentureSPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR

State agencies vulnerable to technology breach

Just because it boasts Silicon Valley,

it turns out the state of California isn’t as

technologically advanced as we thought.

An Aug. 25 report released by the Cal-

ifornia State Auditor found that as many

as 73 state government agencies are not

in full compliance with the information

technology standards and it leaves them

vulnerable to a breach.

According to the report, the non-

compliance could lead to sensitive

information being accessed like

Social Security numbers, income tax

information as well as healthcare

information. The offending agencies

were not named specifically in fear

that the announcement could spark

a potential attack, which is common

protocol for the agency on protecting

their systems.

The Bay Area Council is a public poli-

cy advocacy organization and according

to Rufus Jeffris, Vice President of Com-

munications, “Implementation of the

state’s technology platform has come

under criticism recently.”

Jeffris said that while his organiza-

tion does advocate for cyber security,

they are not experts on the topic and the

standards set by the state are the deter-

mining factor in how the corrections are

implemented and collected.

The audit focused on five specific

agencies, which were not named but all

were found not to be in full compliance

with the technology standards.

Auditor Elaine M. Howle also issued

a survey to 77 state agencies in which 73

responded and indicated that they had

not achieved full compliance with infor-

mation security standards. 22 respon-

dents stated that they did not expect to

reach full compliance with the infor-

mation security standards until 2018 or

later and 13 more indicated they would

be out of compliance until at least 2020,

according to the report.

“The California Department of Tech-

nology (technology department) is re-

sponsible for ensuring that state entities

that are under the direct authority of the

governor maintain the confidentiality,

integrity, and availability of their infor-

mation systems and protect the privacy

of the State’s information,” according to

the report by Howle.

She also noted that Chapter 5300

of the State Administrative Manual,

which is specific in regards to the secu-

rity standards, and require government

agencies to use programs that ensure

electronic information and technology

is kept private.

Further, Howle said in the audit that

most of the offending agencies did not

even know they were out of compliance

until the time of the inquiry.

According to the 2014 Federal In-

formation Security Modernization Act,

there are three security objectives for

information and information systems

that must be adhered to by all state

agencies:

“Confidentiality: Preserving autho-

rized restrictions to protect personal

privacy and proprietary information.

Integrity: Guarding against improper

modification or destruction. Availabili-

ty: Ensuring timely and reliable access.”

John Hunt is the Public Sector Prin-

cipal at PricewaterhouseCoopers pro-

fessional service firm, which has three

Bay Area offices. Hunt said that most

entities deal with cyber security through

their technology team, but this is a mis-

take. According to Hunt, cyber security

needs to be addressed at all levels of an

organization to ensure privacy.

According to Howle’s report, there

will be several new deadlines put in

place for these agencies, which they will

be required to show how they are mak-

ing steps toward compliance. The first

of those dates is set for the end of this

year. The report also gave several

detailed accounts of what the vi-

olating entities need to do to be

compliant with the standards.

The cyber breach and leak

trend has been on the rise

and earlier this year hack-

ers released emails from

Sony executives as well

as other documents from

the business.

Most recently the

website Ashley Madi-

son had its information

breached where hackers

posted all of the members

information on several

public websites.

Two 4.0 magnitude earthquakes shook the Hayward Fault Line in the last month, the first in Fremont and the lat-ter in Piedmont. The 2.4 magnitude after-shock followed the first quake less than an hour later. Reports rolled in of items falling off of shelves, but no major damage was reported. The second quake hit on a hot, still day, similar to the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.

These recent inci-dents have once again brought earthquake safety to the forefront for a Bay Area commu-nity that has been told repeatedly that another big one is sure to hit. It’s of particular concern to many students at Cal State East Bay, a campus situated in close proxim-ity to the Hayward Fault that is not adequately prepared for a major earthquake of magni-tude 5 or above.

“To say that these earthquakes don’t mean anything is just not true,” CSUEB Geology professor Luther Strayer said. “While it isn’t nec-essarily a warning to a bigger earthquake, the movement still creates issues. Put your palms together and move them back and forth. The

grooves in your hand get caught on each other and create friction, they don’t just slide freely. This is what happens when the rubbing of surfaces occurs. The bumps and surfaces have texture, they aren’t flat like mir-rors so when they slide it creates the movement.”

According to the CSU Seismic Review Board, CSUEB’s Meiklejohn Hall is the least safe building in the entire 23-campus system in the event of a major earth-quake. Meiklejohn was number two on the list up until Aug. 17, 2013 when the number one building on the list was demolished, CSUEB’s Warren Hall.

Both buildings were originally constructed less than one mile from the Hayward Fault, which according to Strayer and the United States Geological Survey is nearly due to produce a major earthquake in keeping with its average of every 140-150 years. The last quake on the Hayward Fault was a 6.8 magnitude that occurred 147 years ago on Oct. 21, 1868.

It’s a CSU-wide prob-lem

In total, 28 CSU build-ings could potentially collapse and 38 more would potentially risk lives in the event of a ma-jor earthquake, accord-ing to a list released by the CSU earlier this year.

CSU policy does not require the least safe buildings to be ad-dressed for earthquake safety first. A panel of CSU officials decide the process and priority, however at the time of publication CSU had not confirmed how those of-ficials are selected.

Despite ranking num-ber one on the list of the least safe buildings, Meiklejohn Hall was not even ranked on the list of buildings to be ret-rofitted or demolished released by CSU officials in 2013.

In March the USGS updated its California earthquake forecast, which included the like-lihood of an earthquake of 8.0 magnitude or more in California rising from 4.7 percent to seven percent.

“Previously we be-

lieved that faults acted on their own,” USGS Ned Field said. “We now know that activity on a fault can cause other faults to rupture. This information is why the likelihood rose so much.”

Field referred to the possibility of a quake on one fault triggering other faults to go off as well or the potential of multiple earthquakes going off at the same time.

“ShakeAlert” warn-ing systems can help

The USGS gave nearly $4 million on July 30 to the California Institute of Technology, UC Berke-ley, the University of Washington and the

University of Oregon for the production of “ShakeAlert”. “Shake-Alert” is an earthquake early warning system, which is designed to give people as much notice as possible of an earth-quake through several mediums, specifically cell phones. The orga-nization was granted $5 million earlier this year after making an appeal to Congress that was approved. If successful, the pilot program could spread to other local col-leges where earthquake

safety is a primary is-sue like CSUEB.

“ShakeAlert has the potential to save many lives,” Susan Garcia, USGS Earthquake Sci-ence Center represen-tative said. “The warn-ing system is designed to be faster than the seismic waves created by earthquakes. If a warning could reach the public in fault areas before the shaking be-gins, potentially thou-sands of people could be saved.”

CSUEB has an earthquake prepared-ness website with a vid-eo from 2009 but the link to Emergency Pre-paredness Information is temporarily unavail-able. The school has an Emergency Operations Plan on its website that was revised in Sep. 2010. The 37-page doc-ument details the plan of action in the event of an emergency for the campus and surround-ing community.

“I am old enough to remember the 1989 earthquake so I know how scary it can be,”

CSUEB student Eric Nieves said. “I didn’t realize how close we are to the fault, I hope I’m not here when it happens.”

CSUEB’s Earth movement and Hay-ward Fault expert Strayer was instru-mental in studying the Warren Hall demoli-tion and the ripples the demolition created seismically. Strayer used seismic sensors to capture the waves and helped the USGS create a three-dimensional map of the Hayward Fault. The demolition was large enough to register on the ma-chines used by Strayer.

“I can’t say they mean nothing,” Stray-er said. “Small earth-quakes lead to stress in a small area. For exam-ple, if you are in a crowd of people and you push all the people away, you feel better but how does everybody else feel? Small slips that occur put more and more load on the other parts hold-ing on to the bumps and shapes on fault surfac-es.”

Earthquake safety, a priority

According to the San Francisco Exploratori-

um, the taller a struc-ture is the more flexible it is and the less energy is required to keep it from toppling during a seismic event. They further explain that because shorter build-ings are stiffer than taller ones, a three-sto-ry apartment house is considered more vul-nerable to earthquake damage than a 30-sto-ry building.

For buildings in fault zones, extra consider-ations must be taken into account when de-signing a building that is able to withstand a major earthquake. Ma-terials such as wood and steel are preferred in fault zones because they have more give in a seismic event than stucco, concrete or ma-sonry would, according to Garcia.

Jeff Bailey works for Bay Area Retrofit which was founded by Howard Cook in 1994 following the 6.7 mag-nitude earthquake cen-tered in Northridge. Bailey said a lot of older buildings were con-structed before many of the new codes around

earthquake safety were put into place.

“An earthquake safe building means the structure can resist the force without too much damage,” Bailey said. “A certain ground ac-celeration measured as a g-force is what really affects structures. The new building codes tells us what we need to do in order to make struc-tures withstand the force.”

One of the biggest ways to make buildings earthquake safe is to install base isolators, which isolate the base of the building from the earth’s movements which can be done two different ways. The first is by putting two smooth surfaces on top of one another under the building which will al-low the surfaces to slide under the structure. The other way is by putting two structures on top of one another under the building that absorb each others energy and rock until the energy has passed through.

“We can’t guarantee there will be no dam-age,” Bailey said. “How-ever constructing un-der the new codes can help. Look at the recent earthquakes in Japan. The new structures that followed the new code

weren’t nearly as damaged as those old building that weren’t up to code.”

The most visible way that building designers are address-ing the problem is by installing a truss. A truss is a wide base added to the top of the build-ing that narrows and comes to a point, which according to the Association of Bay Area Govern-ments, are designed to increase a building’s stability. The Trans-america Pyramid Center in San Francisco is one of the most vis-ible examples of this technology in the Bay Area.

“The technology and the knowledge of how to construct buildings that can withstand an earthquake has come a long way,” Field said. “We now know how to make buildings safer, but no building could ever be considered earthquake proof, at least not now.”

The Cal State East Bay men’s soccer team defeated the Holy Names Universi-ty Hawks 5-0 on Aug. 22. This past Sat-urday they had their rematch and it was payback time for the Hawks.

From the beginning of the match it seemed like the Hawks had revenge in mind. The previous defeat pumped them up and it was evident as they took the lead 30 minutes into the match 1-0. However, the Pioneers managed to put a damper on the enthusiasm of Holy Names and bounced back to win the match 2-1.

“Despite the fact that the majority of our team are first year players, our goal is to be competing in the CCAA playoffs this year,” CSUEB Head Coach Andy Cumbo said.

Just after the Pioneers started to re-gain control of the match, there was a minor setback. International student and junior defender Steffan Sauer suf-fered a sprained ankle after one of the Hawks stepped on his leg. The injury kept him out for the rest of the game.

second half. Holy Names forward Dom-inic Calderon drew a yellow card at the 75 minute mark which earned the Pio-neers a free kick they capitalized on to tie the game at 1-1.

It was CSUEB sophomore midfield-er Christian Gonzalez who took the free kick and freshman defender, Brett Fuchs managed to convert the assist into a goal that put smiles on the faces of his teammates. The Pioneers were not finished yet, within the next minute another opportunity to score was creat-ed by CSUEB sophomore forward Jer-emy Romero. Romero passed the ball to freshman midfielder Marco Neves who made full use of the pass as he put it past the goalkeeper that gave the Pio-neers a 2-1 lead.

During the final moments of the game, Hawks forward Dominic Cal-deron attempted to kick a ball already secured by the CSUEB goalkeeper. The play forced the referee to hand Calderon his second yellow card of the match and ejected him from the contest.

“It is good to see my team start off strong with two victories in a row,” for-mer Pioneer Christian Lara said.

The Pioneers take on Dominican University at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 at Pio-neer Stadium in the first game of the regular season.
