Kelly O'Donnell, president of the correspondents' association, opened the event by reminding the audience of the important work that journalists do but noting that the dinner is happening at "a complex moment for our nation," and in a decisive election year. Biden's speech before an expected crowd of nearly 3,000 people was being followed by entertainer Colin Jost from "Saturday Night Live." Now, it's at the center of a huge-scale master plan to grow the station that will involve the preservation of this landmark.

Wrong-way driver hits cars on 60 Freeway in Riverside

The Los Angeles Police Department said 93 people were arrested on suspicion of trespassing during Wednesday's demonstrations at the University of Southern California. If you’re new to the hobby or area, contact the various rockhounding clubs, as they are a good resource for where and when you can and cannot dig, and you might very well find rockhounding companions. Many of the collecting sites are rather difficult to get to due to distance or rough terrain, but many other sites are quite easy to reach. Working with your hands in rockhounding environments can be rough; it is easy to get cuts or abrasions when in the field.

Memberships cost $40/year and include access to field trips, the club workshop, and club meetings, among others. The membership dues are $30/year for an individual or $40/year for family memberships and offer monthly society meetings, presentations, field trips to collection sites, and winter and summer picnics and auctions. Benitoite, the state mineral, is found in a few locations in California, but some of the best crystals come from the Benitoite Mine. The cost is $70 per person; children under 12 are charged $20. In addition to benitoite, you can find apatite, neptunite, and others. The permits are for a single day only and each person can only receive a permit three times each year.

“I want to let everyone know that I’m willing to work with those in the Senate on what the full intent of that is, so that we can make this a more robust package and really help do everything that we can to protect our children,” Vance said on the House floor. It’s not clear when the bill will come up for another round of debate in the House, but Gray said he’s confident the chamber will support adding the amendment back in. “From my perspective, raising the age of consent is a very deep issue, and there is a bill, a 23-page bill, that addresses that that I think deserves its own attention,” Vance said.

“This amendment is based almost verbatim on a bill signed into law last month in Florida drafted by Gov. Ron DeSantis,” Gray told colleagues during the late-night session. “Verbatim” might be a stretch — the 20-page Florida bill came to the Alaska House as a three-page amendment. Age verification bills aimed at adult websites have a mixed record in federal court, though some recent laws in other states have been allowed to stand.

Wiley’s Well is named after an artesian well located in the Colorado Desert in Riverside County. Although a relatively popular rockhounding site, nice specimens can regardless be found here including agate, geodes, citrine, chalcedony, jasper, quartz, and other minerals. If you’re uncertain about the status of the land you’d like to collect from, it’s best to check with the various park services. If you want to rockhound on private land be sure to ask for explicit permission from the landowner to search for specimens of rocks, fossils, and minerals on their property. A ban on social media accounts for children under 14 passed the Alaska House Friday with significant bipartisan support, despite some opposition citing privacy and constitutional concerns.

"There is no truth to claims of an impending lockdown or evictions on campus," Columbia University said in a memo to students Saturday evening. The University of Southern California closed its main campus Saturday evening "due to a disturbance," the university said on X. "We'll leave it to local authorities to determine how these protests are managed," Kirby told Stephanopoulos, "but we want them to be peaceful protests and obviously we don't want to see anybody hurt in the process of peacefully protesting." Our flagship location is led by Cristina Ciceri, who has been part of the Pacific Shore Stones family since its beginning and has a background specific to the stone industry. And Vance says electronic age verification is a reasonable restriction — no different than showing an ID at a liquor store.

The mine is located on Long Valley Road, a short way to the north of the Crystal Peak Campground. "We absolutely condemn the antisemitism language that we've heard of late, and we certainly condemn all the hate speech and the threats of violence out there. These protests, we understand they're important, but they do need to be peaceful," he said. Kirby did warn that some language heard during the demonstrations crossed a line with the administration.

Earlier this year, the federal Department of Education said the state had underfunded school districts in violation of a first-of-its kind grant requirement attached to a COVID recovery bill. The Senate’s draft budget would send some $11.9 million to two Alaska school districts to make up for the shortfall. There was a similar debate last year between the House and Senate over the size of the PFD and whether to spend from the savings account. In the end, the House voted to adopt the Senate’s budget after negotiators added some $34 million in projects to the spending plan.

The site operated as the popular Sand & Sea Club for decades, then sat vacant and boarded up for years until the city of Santa Monica announced plans to renovate and reopen it as a public beach facility. Renowned philanthropist Wallis Annenberg donated $27.5 million to the cause. During the renovation, all of the remaining original structures from the Hearst days were demolished, except for a 110-foot Italian marble swimming pool and one of the guest homes, now known as the Marion Davies Guest House. The Annenberg Community Beach House opened to the public in April 2009. The site is open daily and is also used as a special events/wedding venue and filming location.

Natural light, glass walls, patios and mirrors are hallmarks of the Neutra VDL House. Tours of the property, given by Cal Poly Pomona architecture students, are offered on Saturdays from 11 a.m. Self-guided tours are available Thursday-Sunday from 11 a.m. Pricing for the timed tickets is $7 for adults, $3 for students and seniors with I.D., and free for children under 12 when accompanied by a paying adult. Docent-led tours are also available, with options for a one-hour tour or 20-minute exterior-only tour. Just five months after he and his family moved in, he was found shot to death by his longtime friend, Hugh Plunket.

Federal judges have blocked similar laws targeting children’s use of social media in Arkansas and Ohio. Rep. Andrew Gray, D-Anchorage, said he drew inspiration for the social media measure from an unlikely source — a conservative Republican governor thousands of miles away. The bill passed by a 33-6 vote with support from Democrats, Republicans and independents.
