The two teenage suspects of Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego San Diego met and were radicalized online and left a manifesto revealing “hatred for a broad range of folks,” law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Three search warrants have uncovered 30 guns including rifles, pistols and shotguns, along with ammunition, a crossbow, tactical gear, electronics and the manifesto, as part of the investigation.
The 17- and 18-year-old suspects died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds after fleeing the scene, but not before allegedly killing three adult-male victims who law enforcement said prevented more people from being killed.
California will make less money from greenhouse gas emission auctions
By Dan Walters | CalMatters
Two decades ago, when California got serious about reducing or even eliminating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, its political leaders weighed two potential tactics about industrial emissions.
The state could impose direct facility-by-facility limits, generally favored by climate change advocates. Or it could set overall emission reduction goals that would gradually decrease and auction off emission allowances, assuming their costs would encourage reductions.
The latter, known as cap-and-trade, was favored by corporate interests as being less onerous and was adopted, finally taking effect in 2012.
The Art of Dr. Seuss Featured in a New Show, “San Diego, Dr Seuss Lived Here”
By Exclusive Collectors
The Summer begins in the Gaslamp Quarter by celebrating American Icon Dr. Seuss, ahead of a newly discovered Cat in the Hat book to be released in June on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence called “Sing the 50 United States.” There are two cities synonymous with Dr. Seuss: Springfield, Massachusetts, where he was born, and San Diego, where he perfected his craft as a children’s book author and artist. Dr. Seuss lived in La Jolla from 1948 until his passing in 1991. From UCSD, to the San Diego Library and Scripps Green Hospital Geisel Patient Care Pavillion, Dr. Seuss’s imprint is all over San Diego – and it is seen in the art. Now you can enjoy and even collect it too.
Much of Dr. Seuss’s work was inspired by the breathtaking coastline of California, especially San Diego. Now you can see some of his works of art, never seen before, at a new show “San Diego, Dr Seuss Lived Here” running May 29 – June 29 at Exclusive Collections (EC Gallery) in the Gaslamp Quarter at 621 5th Ave. Downtown San Diego.
The newest secret art release from the collection, “Small Bird, Lots of Feathers” will be prominently displayed. Other highlights include: “I Dreamed I Was a Doorman at the Hotel del Coronado” and the whimsical and popular story and art of The Lorax.
Pieces in the exhibition are available for acquisition, some with rare availability. Each limited edition has been carefully adapted and reproduced from Geisel’s original paintings, drawings, or sculptures and bears an authorized Dr. Seuss Estate signature, making this collection both a rare opportunity and a celebration of an American icon’s artistic legacy.
“We have been honored to be the exclusive gallery representing The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection on the West Coast for many years,” said Ruth-Ann Thorn, Founder/CEO, EC Gallery. “Being a native San Diegan, it is wonderful see first-hand and share these tremendous drawings, paintings, sculptures, many inspired by San Diego, with our city and art collectors near and far to enjoy.”
Audrey Geisel, the late widow of Theodor Seuss Geisel, once remarked, “I’m gratified to carry out Ted’s wishes and have these works revealed to the world.” Visitors to the exhibition will experience exactly that, a window into the imagination of one of the 20th century’s most creative minds.
