Griffith Observatory Bets World Won't End Dec. 21

The Observatory will stay open as midnight strikes, thumbing its nose at the end of the world predicted by the Mayan Calendar.

 

They are fearless up at the Griffith Observatory.

The Mayan calendar predicts the world will end on midnight of December 21.

The Observatory normally closes at 10 p.m. but it will remain open an extra 121 minutes on Dec. 21 until 12:01 a.m. Dec. 22 to see what's what.

The plan's to show that there's no celestial mishegas that will ruin us when the clock strikes midnight.

The observatory will offer extra shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at 9:45 and 10:45 p.m.

Many are expected at 2800 East Observatory Road in Los Feliz.

Access roads will close as soon as the lot is full and no later than 10 p.m.

I recently heard that the scientist found the world had not warmed up in the last 15 years and theyRead More did not know what happened to their predictions.

The fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that: the right of the people to beRead More secure in their persons,houses,papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized "this fundamental right has a tense relationship with sobriety checkpoints, at a sobriety checkpoint, drivers are necessary stopped with out reasonable suspicion, and may be tested summarily and with out probable cause, Thus the constitution would prohibit people from being stopped without a search Warrant or at least without probable cause that they have committed a crime; however, the Warrant requirement only attaches should the search be unreasonable and the Supreme Court, as shown below, decided that such stops are not unreasonable under certain circumstances, The United States Supreme Court found properly conducted sobriety checkpoints to be Constitutional, While acknowledging that such checkpoints infringed on a Constitutional Right. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has found sobriety checkpoints to be constitutionally permissible, ten states (Idaho,Iowa,Michigan,Minnesota,Oregon,Rhode Island, Texas,Washington,Wisconsin, and Wyoming) have found that sobriety roadblocks violate their own State Constitutions or have outlawed tHEM.

Again, if you see a checkpoint you can still legally turn around or change directions to avoid it asRead More long as you are not already in it. Learn your rights. But don't drink and drive. Call Northeast LAPD to go to take the LAPD Community Based Police Academy course. It's free. Of course, Northeast doesn't let others know about it. You learn your rights a lot of other information they would rather not have you know. Call them and ask how to attend.

The fact that they are outlawed in some states AND what the constitution says , they areRead More UN-constitutional whether you can avoid them or not, same as checking your citizenship up to 100 miles north of Mexican border (as you simply drive down the road), no probable cause etc.

The 125th at Logan was great. Parents, students, former teachers, some alumni from the 1940's. ButRead More what is most essential to keep in mind is that Logan, a public school, has educated generations of Echo Park children, natives and immigrants, English-speaking and those learning English, respecting the diverse cultures of families that have made their homes in our community. It's a public school that serves all children, those with children with disabilities, those who have behavior issues, all children. It turns away no one. It does what public schools are supposed to do; it educates the public. And it welcomes parents to participate in decision-making bodies that can influence their child's education.
