Last month San Jose, CA police arrested 18-year-old twins Anh and Ductrung Tong after a 22-year-old San Jose State University student was stabbed to death at a birthday party. Witnesses said the twins looked so much alike that they were not sure which twin stabbed the man. Ductrung was charged with the murder. Prosecutors are tight-lipped but this past Wednesday they reduced Ductrung's charge to accessory to murder and charged Anh with murder.Last month San Jose, CA police arrested 18-year-old twins Anh and Ductrung Tong after a 22-year-old San Jose State University student was stabbed to death at a birthday party.

Mayor Lee Announces Civic Celebration of City Hall Centennial
Mayor Edwin M. Lee and City Administrator Naomi Kelly together with Honorary Co-Chairs United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, former Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. and San Francisco Chief of Protocol Charlotte Mailliard Shultz today announced The City Hall Centennial Celebration, a civic celebration honoring the 100th anniversary of San Francisco’s City Hall with a kickoff event to be held on Friday, June 19th at 6 p.m. in Civic Center Plaza. The civic celebration coincides with Mayor Lee’s hosting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ 83rd Annual Meeting, which will bring 450 Mayors from across the country to San Francisco.
Following the devastating 1906 Great Earthquake and Fire, San Francisco’s City Hall was rebuilt and reopened by Mayor “Sunny” Jim Rolph in December 1915. Mayor Rolph is noted for saying that the citizens of the City needed to build City Hall as a palace not for a king or queen, a prince or princess, but for the people of San Francisco. The principal architect was Arthur Brown, Jr., of Bakewell and Brown.
City Hall is the oldest building in the United States to receive LEED Platinum Certification for Building Operations and Maintenance in Existing Buildings (LEED - EBOM). This LEED classification highlights the potential for significant water and energy savings.
Platinum Certification of San Francisco’s 100-year-old City Hall is the culmination of a multi-year water and energy retrofit partnership between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the City Administrator’s Office. With a 100 percent greenhouse gas-free electricity supply from the SFPUC’s Hetch Hetchy Power System, City Hall was already one of the greenest, most sustainable historic buildings in the country. These improvements will only serve to further reduce the environmental footprint of the building. Overall, the SFPUC’s energy efficiency improvements at City Hall will reduce consumption by approximately 20 percent, helping to make City Hall one of the more energy efficient buildings in the country. The water efficiency upgrades are estimated to save approximately 825,000 gallons of drinking water per year.
The civic celebration will include unveiling of two new lighting advances for City Hall. First, a permanent installation of LED fixtures that will light the exterior of City Hall for years to come allowing, at the strike of a key, a limitless array of lighting combinations. Second, and the feature attraction, the unveiling of an extraordinary and permanent multi-media projection system – designed by San Francisco-based Obscura Digital – which will project lights and images on the façade of City Hall and help bring this iconic building into the 21st Century.
The City Hall Centennial Celebration is organized by the Centennial Planning Committee, which is co-chaired by Tanya and Rich Peterson. They and their committee are raising $2,200,000 in private dollars to join with $1,800,000 in approved city capital spending to support the overall effort.
Stephen Revetria, General Manager of San Francisco Giants Enterprises and Mick and Sabrina Hellman will co-chair the June 19th centennial celebration at Civic Center Plaza. The Giants have partnered with the City in the past to host civic celebrations following the three Giants World Series Championships in 2010, 2012, and 2014. The Hellman family, greatly appreciated for carrying on the legacy of Warren Hellman’s beloved Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, continues to supports arts, culture and philanthropy in San Francisco.
In addition to the captivating public light display, the civic celebration on June 19, 2015 is scheduled from 6:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. and will feature live entertainment by local artists performing hits from different eras throughout the past century. The Hellman family is generously funding and curating the talent for the musical performances.
The June 19th event in Civic Center Plaza will be just one component of the campaign to commemorate the 100th anniversary of City Hall. In November, KQED will release a documentary titled, “The People’s Palace”, on the history of City Hall and its importance to the rebirth of San Francisco following the earthquake that is produced and directed by Jim Yager. City Hall will also host a series of public tours and showings of the documentary later this year as part of the centennial campaign.

Cloud, a public art installation in Culver City at Washington & National
The art installation is part of a design for a public plaza / pocket park in a mixed use building complex at a busy intersection in Downtown Culver City.
The large sculpture was designed in response to the city’s desire to implement a water feature on the plaza. The goal was to create a water feature that is sensitive to Southern California’s climate and water shortage, and maximizes the benefit of water to create a micro-climate in the park. If desired in response to drought conditions, the sculpture stands on its own without the water component.
In creating our design, we wanted to evoke the qualities of water in the sculpture itself. Fascinated by the process of the water cycle - nothing is being added or deleted in the infinite movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth - we used the figure of a Möbius band as inspiration.
The sculpture is made of a twisted mirror-polished stainless band. The resulting shape is reminiscent of a raindrop. Its perception changes dramatically according to the viewing angle. Nozzles along the two narrow edges of the band intermittently emit fog, thus enveloping the sculpture in a cloud that is both surprising to the patrons of the park and cooling to their environment.

SUMMARY
=======
San Jose (; Spanish for 'Saint Joseph'; Spanish: [saŋ xoˈse]), officially the City of San José, is an economic, cultural and political center of Silicon Valley, and the largest city in Northern California (both in population and area). With an estimated 2017 population of 1,035,317, it is the third-most populous city in California (after Los Angeles and San Diego) and the tenth-most populous in United States. Located in the center of the Santa Clara Valley, on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay, San Jose covers an area of 179.97 square miles (466.1 km2). San Jose is the county seat of Santa Clara County, the most affluent county in California and one of the most affluent counties in the United States. San Jose is the most populous city in both the San Francisco Bay Area and the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area, which contain 7.7 million and 8.7 million people respectively.San Jose is a global city, notable as a center of innovation, for its affluence, Mediterranean climate, and extremely high cost of living. San Jose's location within the booming high tech industry, as a cultural, political, and economic center has earned the city the nickname Capital of Silicon Valley. San Jose is one of the wealthiest major cities in the United States and the world, and has the third highest GDP per capita in the world (after Zürich, Switzerland and Oslo, Norway), according to the Brookings Institution. The San Jose Metropolitan Area has the most millionaires and the most billionaires in the United States per capita.

Major global tech companies including Cisco Systems, eBay, Adobe Systems, PayPal, Brocade, Samsung, Acer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Western Digital maintain their headquarters in San Jose, in the center of Silicon Valley.
Before the arrival of the Spanish, the area around San Jose was inhabited by the Tamien nation of the Ohlone indigenous peoples of California. San Jose was founded on November 29, 1777, as the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, the first city founded in the Californias. It then became a part of Mexico in 1821 after the Mexican War of Independence. Following the American Conquest of California during the Mexican–American War, the territory was ceded to the United States in 1848. After California achieved statehood two years later, San Jose became the state's first capital. Following World War II, San Jose experienced an economic boom, with a rapid population growth and aggressive annexation of nearby cities and communities carried out in the 1950s and 1960s. The rapid growth of the high-technology and electronics industries further ...

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described rock and roll band with horns began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.[1]
Star-Spangled Banner at West Coast Latvian Song Festival 2015
Recorded on September 6, 2015 at City National Civic, San Jose, California. Orchestral accompaniment arranged by Juris Ķēniņš. Conducted by Zinta Zariņa.
Words by: F.S. Key - Music by J.S. Smith.
The entire poem Star-Spangled Banner
as written by Francis Scott Key in 1814:
The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled
banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled
banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled
banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
