Capitol Chat: New Laws Along with the
arrival of 2013 have come hundreds of new laws that Californians
must now observe, like the revision made to the workers'
compensation system, new rules on texting while driving, and the
ban on selling certain kinds of homemade foods to individuals,
stores, and restaurants. Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler and State Government Reporter Amy Quinton take
a closer look at some of the more noteworthy new laws and how they
might affect you.

Saturate Yolo You can almost hear
professional photographers cringe when you say the word
"Hipstamatic." So don't let them know the City of Davis has
declared January "Phone Art Month." But in all reality many
professional photographers are using iPhones in professional
situations and photojournalist Rita Leistner has even written
about her experience shooting pictures exclusively with an iPhone
in Afghanistan. So, with that in mind, local man Dave
Webb is presenting an art exhibit in Davis called "Saturate
Yolo," which features 60 iPhone-created images plus an installation
of 5 electronic frames rotating dozens more images. Saturate
Yolo is running January 5 to February 2 at the Tsao Gallery
in the Davis Art Center.
