Page 12 January 7, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Cassini Closes in on Enceladus, One Last Time NASA’S Cassini spacecraft makes its final close flyby of Saturn’s active, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus. Film Review from page 4 school or prison, he often will show a second more extreme example that confirms the point he is making. Moore is a polarizing character, but he’s a master of the craft. He knows how to make his points, funny or serious, using the tools at his disposal. It’s been a fantastic year for documentary, in large part due to the number of working documentary filmmakers who have new material this year: Alex Gibney (Going Clear and Steve Jobs), Kirby Dick (The Hunting Ground), Davis Guggenheim (Malala) and Moore, among others. Each of these prolific directors has a signature style which they don’t stray far from, but in every case it works to their personality and subject matter. All are in contention for the Best Documentary Oscar. While Michael Moore’s latest isn’t particularly topical compared to some of his other work, it invites Americans to recognize that perhaps we need to look at other countries as models for how to improve our current system. His final revelation not only is fascinating but ties the whole film together. For any American interested in the future of our country, look to this film as a guide to some positive possible directions. Where To Invade Next opened at ArcLight Hollywood on December 23rd with a national release February 12, 2016. Rated R for language, some violent images, drug use and brief graphic nudity. • Based on press release from NASA/ JPL, provided by Bob Eklund Photo provided by NASA/JPL-CalTech A thrilling chapter in the exploration of the solar system will soon conclude, as NASA’s Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft makes its final close flyby of the ocean-bearing moon Enceladus. Cassini is scheduled to fly past Enceladus at a distance of 3,106 miles on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 9:49 a.m. PST. Although the spacecraft will continue to observe Enceladus during the remainder of its mission (through September 2017), it will be from much greater distances -- at closest, more than four times farther away than the Dec. 19 encounter. The upcoming flyby will focus on measuring how much heat is coming through the ice from the moon’s interior -- an important consideration for understanding what is driving the plume of gas and icy particles that sprays continuously from an ocean below the surface. “Understanding how much warmth Enceladus has in its heart provides insight into its remarkable geologic activity, and that makes this last close flyby a fantastic scientific opportunity,” said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. By design, the encounter will not be Cassini’s closest. The flyby was designed to allow Cassini’s Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument to observe heat flow across Enceladus’ south polar terrain. “The distance of this flyby is in the sweet spot for us to map the heat coming from within Enceladus -- not too close, and not too far away. It allows us to map a good portion of the intriguing south polar region at good resolution,” said Mike Flasar, CIRS team lead at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. The south polar region of Enceladus, while well lit for observing observations by Cassini’s visible light cameras when the spacecraft arrived at Saturn in mid-2004, is presently in the darkness of the years-long Saturnian winter. The absence of heat from the Sun makes it easier for Cassini to observe the warmth from Enceladus itself. By the time the mission concludes, Cassini will have obtained observations over six years of winter darkness in the moon’s southern hemisphere. Cassini completed a daring dive through the moon’s erupting plume on Oct. 28, passing just 30 miles (49 kilometers) above the surface. Scientists are still analyzing data collected during that encounter to better understand the nature of the plume, its particles and whether hydrogen gas is present -- the latter would be an independent line of evidence for active hydrothermal systems in the seafloor. This moderately close flyby will be the 22nd of Cassini’s long mission. The spacecraft’s surprising discovery of geologic activity on Enceladus, not long after arriving at Saturn, prompted changes to the mission’s flight plan in order to maximize the number and quality of encounters with the icy moon. Cassini made its closest Enceladus flyby on Oct. 9, 2008, at an altitude of 16 miles. The unfolding story of Enceladus has been one of the great triumphs of Cassini’s historic mission at Saturn. Scientists first detected signs of the moon’s icy plume in early 2005, followed by a series of discoveries about the material gushing from warm fractures near its south pole. They announced strong evidence for a regional subsurface sea in 2014, revising their understanding in 2015 to confirm that the moon hosts a global ocean beneath its icy crust. • Looking Up Follow Us on Twitter @heraldpub PUBLIC NOTICES NABI or FUHU EMPLOYEE : To any disgruntle employee, terminated or not terminated, please e-mail me with any type of information.

SUMMARY OF ADOPTED ORDINANCE AND ADOPTED URGENCY ORDINANCE: An Urgency Ordinance and a non-urgency Ordinance to amend “Water Conservation in Landscaping” provisions established in Ordinance No. 1437 as codified in Title 10, Chapter 2 of the El Segundo Municipal Code (“ESMC”) to comply with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as a result of the statewide drought. The Urgency Ordinance and non-urgency Ordinance deletes ESMC Chapter 10-2 ‘Water Conservation in Landscaping’; adds ESMC Chapter 15-15A ‘Water Conservation in Landscaping’ regarding the applicability of Water Conservation in Landscaping; amends ESMC Section 15-1-6 ‘Definitions’ to add definitions of hardscape, softscape, synthetic grass and xeriscaping, including clarify the use of artificial turf; amends ESMC Section 15-2-14 regarding the requirements for landscaping; and amends certain landscaping sections in certain zoning districts in ESMC Title 15. The Urgency Ordinance and non-urgency Ordinance addresses the requirements in Governor Brown’s Drought Executive Order (EO B-29-15) of April 1, 2015, which directed the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to update the State’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (“MWELO”). The DWR prepared an updated MWELO to serve as a template for cities, which was approved by the California Water Commission on July 15, 2015. Cities within the State of California must adopt the updated MWELO. The MWELO requires all cities to monitor the water that is used in the irrigation of grass, shrubs, trees, and other plants in landscaped areas. The Urgency Ordinance and non-urgency Ordinance is applicable to all new landscaping projects equal to or greater than 500 square feet and to all rehabilitated landscaped areas equal to or greater than 2,500 square feet. The Urgency Ordinance and nonurgency Ordinance meets the requirements described and defined by the DWR. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15307 as a Class 7 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), because the Ordinance consists of an action taken by the City to assure maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of water resources in the City, and § 15308 as a Class 8 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) because the Ordinance consists of regulations and procedures which aim to protect the environment.
