Page 12 April 7, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD ESPD Shoulder Patch from page 2 City Council from front page will be like-new with upgraded controllers and mechanical features. Only the previous tank unit will stay put. Price tag for the work is $85,582 plus a contingency of $9,418. At the beginning of the meeting, the Council proclaimed April as DMV/Donate Life California Month in El Segundo as part of encouraging citizens to check “yes” as organ donors when applying for or renewing their driver’s license or ID cards. A second proclamation recognized April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the 27th as Denim Day—urging everyone to wear jeans on that date to communicate the message that there is “no excuse and never an invitation to rape.” According to statistics, someone is assaulted in America every two minutes—with one in six women raped during their lifetime. Youths under 18 account for about 44% of all reported cases. In a presentation, Youth Services Librarian Sindee Pickens announced that April 11-17 is National Library Week—marking a national observance that began in 1958. This year’s theme is “Libraries Transform.” She noted that the El Segundo Public Library’s Adult Services Division will host the South Bay 1 Stop Business and Career Center on Wednesday, April 13 from noon to 1 p.m. for a free workshop on resume preparation and job searching. That afternoon, the Children’s Division will screen a special Family Movie Afternoon at 3 p.m. in the Friends of the Library Meeting Room. Registration for the Summer Reading Program kicks off June 9, while the Annual Author Fair is set for June 12 from 11:30-4:30 with the theme “Express Yourself… Through Writing. Art. Music.” Finally, Tuesday’s meeting unveiled the recently renovated City Council Chambers featuring new seating and carpeting, among other aesthetic revamps. The public communications podium moved to the center of the room, while the City Manager and City Clerk switched spots from their previous sides. • stolen vehicle. The suspect then walked over to Officer Curtis and shot him three times at point blank range as he sat in the squad car alerting dispatch of the shooting. Hundreds of police officers and citizens from El Segundo and the neighboring communities scoured the area all night. They found the stolen car, but there was no sign of the suspect. The killer had escaped capture. Twenty-eight-year-old Officer Richard Phillips and his twenty-five-year-old partner, Officer Milton Curtis, were both happily married with a total of five children between them at the time of their brutal murders. Over 46 years later, on September 2002, a false lead encouraged investigators to enter the prints taken at the crime scene in 1957 into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s fingerprint database. In a matter of minutes the print led investigators to Gerald F. Mason, who was arrested for burglary in 1956 in South Carolina. It was the only time he had ever been arrested, and it was the only record they had on file. On January 29, 2003, Gerald F. Mason was arrested for the murders of El Segundo Police Officers Richard Phillips and Milton Curtis. Mason still had the scar from the wounds he sustained from Officer Phillips before he died. Mason later plead guilty in a Los Angeles County court and was sentenced to two consecutive life terms. On June 13, 1949, 46-year old Alexander Clarence Haddock, a Police Officer with 14 years of service with the El Segundo Police Department, responded to a burglary alarm at El Segundo High School. When he arrived on scene, he found a burglar with whom Officer Haddock became engaged in a gun battle. Officer Haddock killed the suspect but sustained a bullet wound to his right leg. Doctors were unable to remove the bullet. On Oct. 3, 1950, Police Officer Alexander C. Haddock died due to complications of the injury he sustained in the gun battle over one year earlier. On Nov. 17, 1935, El Segundo Police Officer Robert Grow was struck and killed by an automobile while directing traffic at Mariposa Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. Officer Grow had only been with the El Segundo Police Department for five months at the time of his death. To wear the shoulder patch “means something,” Garcia said. The shoulder patch is much more than a piece of the uniform. It represents the profession, the city and people. “For us, it’s personal,” Garcia said. “We have high standards for a reason. It means there’s a difference between what we do and what other agencies do.” • Solar Storms Ignite X-Ray “Northern Lights” on Jupiter PUBLIC NOTICES ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME Case No. LS027704 Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Petition of: Brittany M.

Call us at 310-322-1830 Looking Up By Bob Eklund Solar storms are triggering X-ray auroras on Jupiter that are about eight times brighter than normal over a large area of the planet and hundreds of times more energetic than Earth’s “northern lights,” according to a new study using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result is the first time that Jupiter’s auroras have been studied in X-ray light when a giant solar storm arrived at the planet. The Sun constantly ejects streams of particles into space in the solar wind. Sometimes, giant storms, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), erupt and the solar winds become much stronger. These events compress Jupiter’s magnetosphere, the region of space controlled by Jupiter’s magnetic field, shifting its boundary with the solar wind inward by more than a million miles. This new study found that the interac’tion at the boundary triggers the X-rays in Jupiter’s auroras, which cover an area bigger than the surface of the Earth. A series of composite images show Jupiter and its aurora during and after a CME’s arrival at Jupiter in October 2011. In these images, X-ray data from Chandra (purple) have been overlaid on an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The left-hand panel reveals the X-ray activity when the CME reached Jupiter, and the right-hand side is the view two days later after the CME subsided. The impact of the CME on Jupiter’s aurora was tracked by monitoring the X-rays emitted during two 11-hour observations. The scientists used that data to pinpoint the source of the X-ray activity and identify areas to investigate further. The dramatic findings complement NASA’s Juno mission this summer which aims to understand the relationship between the two biggest structures in the solar system—the region of space controlled by Jupiter’s magnetic field (i.e., its magnetosphere) and the region controlled by the solar wind. “There’s a constant power struggle between the solar wind and Jupiter’s magnetosphere,” explained William Dunn, lead author and PhD student at University College London’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory “We want to understand this interaction and what effect it has on the planet. By studying how the aurora changes, we can discover more about the region of space controlled by Jupiter’s magnetic field, and if or how this is influenced by the Sun. Understanding this relationship is important for the countless magnetic objects across the galaxy, including exoplanets, brown dwarfs and neutron stars.” NASA’s Juno spacecraft, launched in 2011, will investigate Jupiter’s relationship with the Sun and the solar wind by studying its magnetic field, magnetosphere and aurora. The UCL team hopes to find out how the X-rays form by collecting complementary data using the European Space Agency’s X-ray space observatory, XMM-Newton, and NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory. “Comparing new findings from Jupiter with what is already known for Earth will help explain how space weather is driven by the solar wind interacting with Earth’s magnetosphere,” said Professor Graziella Branduardi-Raymont, supervisor of the study at UCL. “New insights into how Jupiter’s atmosphere is influenced by the Sun will help us characterize the atmospheres of exoplanets, giving us clues about whether a planet is likely to support life as we know it.” •
