LOS ANGELES (CBS) — When you head down to the beach for a little fun this summer, county officials want you to leave the pigskin at home.
The Board of Supervisors this week agreed to raise fines to up to $1,000 for anyone who throws a football (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/02/08/la-county-oks-1000-fine-for-throwing-football-frisbee-on-beaches/#) or a Frisbee on any beach in Los Angeles County.


In passing the 37-page ordinance (http://cbsla.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/beach.pdf) on Tuesday, officials sought to outline responsibilities for law enforcement and other public agencies while also providing clarification on beach-goer activities that could potentially disrupt or even injure the public.



The updated rules now prohibit “any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll” any object other than a beach ball or volleyball “upon or over any beach” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.


Exceptions allow for ball-throwing in predesignated areas, when a person obtains a permit ($$$$$), or playing water polo “in or over the Pacific Ocean”.


However, during the winter off-season, the new rules will be relaxed.
Officials warned that any activities that could potentially harm “any person or property on or near the beach” should not be allowed during the peak summer season.


Your kids could also end up costing you big bucks: the ordinance also prohibits digging any hole deeper than 18 inches into the sand except where permission is granted for film and TV production services only. ($$$$$)

While you guys are busy worring about throwing a stinking football or frisbee on some ol beach...one of LA's great ones is broke. Very sad. Too bad he didn't know about GS.US...he would have bought gold and silver while he still had money.

Gary Busey Reportedly Just Filed For Bankruptcy, But He's Still Doing The Happy Dance
Aly Weisman|February 08, 2012

Gary Busey has made millions after appearing in more than 70 films throughout his nearly 45-year-long career, but the "Celebrity Rehab" star filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California yesterday after it was revealed he has less than $50,000 to his name and up to $1 million in various debts.

According to offcial documents obtained by TMZ, Busey owes money to everyone "from the IRS ... to various lawyers ... UCLA Medical Center ... Wells Fargo ... L.A. County Waterworks Districts ... and a storage company."

Busey also indicated he may also owe money to a woman named Carla Loeffler, who sued Busey in May for allegedly attacking her at a Tulsa airport.

But despite any legal or financial troubles, Busey is still doing a happy dance, or, some kind of dance—we're not exactly sure what it is.

TMZ caught Busey in Malibu the day before he filed for bankruptcy and the actor showed off his moves while dancing along to "Still the One."

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a breath, I'll tax the air

This is what happens when your state is $20 billion in the hole and you don't have a printing press at your disposal.

[mick silver]

[Shami-Amourae]

It's also illegal to dig holes 18" or deeper at the beach now.

[joboo]

This could have come straight from the Onion.

What is so special about a volleyball over another ball...say a soccer ball for example?

[Shami-Amourae]

They are "softer" balls and can't hurt you. That's their logic.

[Libertytree]

Fuck this stupid shit! Get a few thousand people together to go throw balls and dig holes, FUCK them! OCCUPY the BEACH!!!

[Shami-Amourae]

zap may as well be on an island. I am not worried about her freedom. She seems to live a rather free life. ximmy - I am not sure if she likes it there or not. :)

LAPD Pioneers High-Tech Crime-Fighting ‘War Room’
February 8, 2012 11:53 PM

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The LAPD is fighting crime from a high-tech war room that gives it eyes all over the city. The surveillance hub is now a model for police forces around the world and KCAL9 got an exclusive tour inside from Chief Charlie Beck.

“We are targets on our own soil,” says Beck. “We have to be ready.”

What began as a grass roots idea following the 9/11 terrorist attacks is now a state-of-the-art real-time analysis critical response center. It’s called RACR, and it’s located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.

“This is a system that cuts through the red tape, that gets information to the people that need it,” says Chief Beck. He calls it “the brains of the department, twenty-four/seven.”

Police in the activity center monitor live feeds of city and traffic cameras, counter-terrorism information, and real-time crime mapping, with cutting edge software.

“If we didn’t have that we would be operating blind,” says Capt. Sean Malinowski, the Commanding Officer at RACR. “Essentially we’re always activated here.”

RACR is a critical crime-fighting tool at the center of every high profile incident in the City of Los Angeles.

“We have some real-time tools that help us analyze crime as it’s happening,” says Malinowski. “And then we feed that information out to the geographic areas and to patrol divisions.”

RACR is relied upon during events like dignitary visits from the Royals and President Obama, as well as the recent Occupy LA showdown and arrests.

“We had eyes on that, both through video cameras that the city owns, and also through video streams that were provided by the actual Occupy LA protesters,” says Malinowski.

Most recently, RACR was invaluable in putting an end to the Hollywood arsons.

Malinowski says RACR plotted each arson fire incident as it happened, creating a three-square-mile geographic hot spot that resulted in the quick arrest of accused fire starter Harry Burkhart.

“At the time he was taken into custody, this area was flooded with sheriffs and with LAPD officers,” says Malinowski. “Based on the fact that we kind of could see his movements in real time.”

RACR was born in a functioning bomb shelter, four stories below the Los Angeles Civic Center.

LAPD Commander Blake Chow remembers a time when tracking crime at RACR was done by hand. “There was very little technology,” says Chow, and RACR had no budget.

Police operated with dry erase boards, personal computers, and simple monitors.

“When we built RACR, there was no template to look at,” says Chow. “There was no police department we could go look at and ask them, ‘how did you build it?’”

Today LAPD’s RACR is the standard operating model for law enforcement agencies worldwide. It’s used as a guidebook on how to protect communities and fight crime.

I noticed that earlier when I tried to look at them from my phone. But it looks like they're back, minus a thousand comments according to one of the posters there.

Not in California. Apparently you haven't head of the Global Warming Final Solutions Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Warming_Solutions_Act_of_2006).
