We are building A First Class City
Dear Governor Jerry Brown:
Dear State Assembly Member Joan Buchanan:
Dear State Senator Lois Wolk:
I am writing to ask you to support AB 484 (Alejo), which was recently amended in the Senate to help protect jobs in some of California’s most economically depressed areas.
This bill will help ensure businesses within an Enterprise Zone can continue receiving uninterrupted program benefits until such time as the Department of Housing and Community Development has completed regulatory and administrative review of the program, issued a request for proposal and issued conditional designation letters to the maximum number of Enterprise Zones within the state.
Not only is the Enterprise Zone program vital to economic development, the benefits of the program help our businesses offset costs and encourage expansion or hiring of new employees. Enterprise Zones deliver numerous benefits for employees and employers. AB 484 is a bridge to help two zones with high unemployment and improve economic stability in these distressed areas.
AB 484 ensures that employees and struggling businesses do not fall victim to bureaucratic and political delays. Our state is still struggling to pull itself out of this recession. Every job counts. AB 484 is vitally important to these economically depressed regions.
For these reasons, I strongly urge you to support AB 484.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mr. Gregory Pitsch

Every February Yosemite waterfall turns to lava
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — A window of time just opened in Yosemite National Park when nature photographers wait, as if for an eclipse, until the moment when the sun and earth align to create a fleeting phenomenon.
This marvel of celestial configuration happens in a flash at sunset in mid-February — if the winter weather cooperates. On those days the setting sun illuminates one of the park's lesser-known waterfalls so precisely that it resembles molten lava as it flows over the sheer granite face of the imposing El Capitan.
Every year growing numbers of photographers converge on the park, their necks craned toward the ephemeral Horsetail Fall, hoping the sky will be clear so they can duplicate the spectacle first recorded in color in 1973 by the late renowned outdoors photographer Galen Rowell.
"Horsetail is so uniquely situated that I don't know of any other waterfall on earth that gets that kind of light," said Michael Frye, who wrote the book "The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite."
"How many are perched on a high open cliff? Most are in an alcove or canyon and won't get the sun setting behind it. Yosemite's special geography makes this fall distinctive," he said.
Four decades ago, photographers had only to point and shoot to capture another famous Yosemite firefall — a man-made cascade of embers pushed from a bonfire on summer nights from Glacier Point.
But photographing Horsetail is a lesson in astronomy, physics and geometry as hopefuls consider the azimuth degrees and minutes of the earth's orbit relative to the sun to determine the optimal day to experience it. They are looking for the lowest angle of light that will paint Horsetail the colors of an iridescent sunset as rays reflect off granite behind the water. It materializes in varying degrees of intensity for the same two weeks every year.

Annual Water System Flushing
POSTED BY BILINGUALWEEKLY ⋅ FEBRUARY 15, 2012 ⋅ LEAVE A COMMENT

(Stockton, CA) – The City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department will conduct annual flushing of the City’s water systems, February 20, 2012 through mid-March.
Water distribution systems require regular flushing to remove sand and mineral deposits that accumulate in the pipelines over time. During the course of flushing, customers may experience slight discoloration of water if a faucet is turned on during or shortly after the pipelines are flushed. If this occurs, customers are asked to turn a faucet on outside the house for a few minutes until the water clears.
Flushing activities will occur between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Flushing in the areas north of Hammer Lane from Lower Sacramento east to State Highway 99 will take place the week of February 20 through February 24. The areas north of Hammer Lane and south of Estate Drive, between Lower Sacramento and Interstate 5, will take place the week of February 27 through March 2. Consumnes, Scott Creek, Trinity Parkway, Mokelumne, Whistler, A. G. Spanos, Iron Canyon and Lonnie Beck will take place the week of March 5 through March 9. Areas south of Hammer Lane will not be affected. All flushing dates are approximate based on actual time it takes to flush each area.
For questions concerning this maintenance process or to report discoloration that persists, please contact the City of Stockton Water Utility at (209) 937-7031.
