It requires the State Department to stamp the passports of all registered offenders who have been convicted of sex crimes involving minors so that they can be identified by foreign countries."

Study: Big earthquake could severely damage San Francisco’s waterfront // Kron4
"From AT&T Park to Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco’s Embarcadero is a scenic and popular spot with locals and tourists alike. But this entire stretch of waterfront rests on top of mud and a nearly 100-year-old seawall that also sits on mud.
"In a new report, commissioned by the Port of San Francisco, engineers studied the seawall. Their conclusion is that during a moderate-to-large earthquake, the wall could move several feet outward towards the Bay."
