Over-sized/Recreational Vehicles – New Parking Rules
The San Diego City Council has adopted a Neighborhood Parking Protection Ordinance that restricts overnight parking (2am to 6am) of recreational, non-motorized and oversized vehicles. The ordinance became effective on August 17th with citations to be written beginning on September 1st and it includes the following vehicles:
- Recreational vehicles* (may be parked with a permit)
- Non-motorized vehicles (cargo trailer, trailer bus, fifth-wheels*, etc.)
- Oversized vehicles (greater than 27′ long AND 7′ high)
*Recreational Vehicles are defined in the CA code as "any camp trailer, camper, trailer coach, or house car…" Or "any boat, dune buggy, all-terrain vehicle or other motorized or towed vehicle designed, maintained or used primarily for recreational purposes."
Recreational vehicle owners may obtain a permit allowing overnight parking. A permit is valid for one 24-hour period. The cost per 24 hour permit is $1.25. Permit applicants may obtain up to three consecutive days (72 hours total) at one time. Applicants may purchase up to 72 days of permits per year. The permit is only valid on the same block as the resident's address. You may apply for a permit online here.
Citations will levy a $100 fine to vehicle owners.
This ordinance is in the San Diego Municipal Code Traffic and Vehicles sections 86.0138 – 86.0144. If you have questions or enforcement issues read the FAQs below and/or contact:

Captain's Advisory Board meeting March 18th
A Captain's Advisory Board meeting was held on March 18th. Here are topics that were covered:
- Property Crime is up. But you can do a lot to help yourself and your neighbors. Property crime is often due to easy entry through unlocked windows, doors and gates. What you can do: If a crime occurs in your neighborhood, report it to the police and post it on nextdoor.com so that other residents will be on the alert.
- Pedestrian accidents are on the rise. "…of 55 pedestrian deaths in San Diego last year, 51 were the pedestrian's fault." As of last Friday, the Traffic Unit has started handing out citations for: Jaywalking, bicyclists not observing stop signs and breaking other traffic laws and distracted drivers and pedestrians, e.g. on cell phones or texting, etc. What you can do: Don't be one of those people!
- In April, a PISO Officer will be working in our area on weekends and nights. This officer will address illegal parking, e.g. enforcing the 72 hour rule and people staying overnight in RV's. They will also respond to lower priority Police calls. What you can do: Report illegal parking in your neighborhood. Click here to find out how-> Illegal Parking.
- Many, many bikes are stolen in PB. In an effort to stem the tide, the Police have acquired 2 bikes fitted with GPS tracking devices. These bikes will be used as decoys in areas where bicycles are frequently stolen.
- We have a Beach Team of 8 to 9 Officers patrolling the beach and boardwalk. At night, they patrol the business district. Last year, they wrote over 1,000 citations. This past weekend, the division hired two officers on overtime and had them patrol the boardwalk for 6 hours. These officers wrote citations for alcohol, smoking, dogs and made themselves visible to the many "spring breakers" .
- Officers now regularly conduct inspections of bar and restaurants to ensure all conditions of Entertainment Permits and Alcohol Licenses are being met. As a result, compliance with conditions has noticeably improved. Inspections are random and complaint driven. Police look for overcrowding and for adequate security.. They check for open windows and doors that may be contributing to a noise problems. What you can do: If you notice this type of problem, please call the SDPD-emergency # : 619 531-2000
- Quality of Life Team: We are fortunate to have 2 outstanding Officers who address the transient problem in our community. They achieve the work of two Squads. These 2 officers help transients with transportation to a shelter. They also enforce illegal lodging and issue stay away orders. What you can do: If you see suspicious activity or groups of people that make you uncomfortable don't just pass by, report it to the police non-emergency #, 619 531-2000.
- On a Saturday night in March, a DUI checkpoint was conducted in the 2700 block of Grand Ave. between 11 p.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday. As a result, 14 drivers were not driving our city streets while drunk. Around 1,575 vehicles passed through the checkpoint. The checkpoint was funded by a grant through the California Office of Traffic Safety.
Captain's Advisory Board
One of our own is serving on the recently-formed SDPD Northern Division Captain's Advisory Board. What is the Captain's Advisory Board?
The Captain's Advisory Board was reinstated by our new Northern Division Police Captain, Jerry Hara. The Police Advisory Board is made up of officers and community members from the Northern Division. Our Northern Division is made up of neighborhoods including Bay Ho, Bay Park, Clairemont Mesa North, East and West, La Jolla, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, Torrey Pines, University City and Pacific Beach. There are over 20 people on the Board. Block Captains and residents from different areas.The purpose of the Board is to promote a 2-way dialog between the Police and residents about community issues. This helps our Police tailor their policing approach to our needs. Marcella Teran is our Representative. She was selected to participate on the Board because of her involvement in the Pacific Beach Neighborhood Watch (PB NW). Under her leadership, Neighborhood Watch groups in PB have grown from 13 to 53!
Enforcement of Alcohol License Conditions
QUALITY OF LIFE AND POLICE ENFORCEMENT: In 2013, SDPD implemented pro-active enforcement of alcohol license conditions and entertainment permit conditions at bars and restaurants in PB.
Officers routinely check for compliance with conditions such as occupancy limits, security staffing and noise mitigation. Police say compliance has increased across the board and is having positive impacts. In the last two years, SDPD has also gone undercover to investigate "over-serving" and has cited and fined several bartenders.
Neighborhood Watch grows
We have over 53 Neighborhood Watch (NW) groups in Pacific Beach and the police are using us as a model for other communities to follow! NW allows neighbors to connect in-person with each other, which makes our neighborhoods safer and builds our community. NW allows residents to have direct communication with the police about issues that concern them. It's easy to start a NW – just email Marcella Teran and she will assist you and answer any questions you may have. email@example.com
Six Years After – Alcohol Free Beaches in Pacific Beach
Here is a detailed review of what occurred leading up to the alcohol-free beach policy and what happened after the beaches became alcohol-free. We hope you will consider this a reminder of the great things community involvement can accomplish. We thank Scott Chipman for this thorough review. Continue reading
Exciting Changes Ahead for Mission Bay Park!
Mission Bay Park is a great park – It can be even better! This area welcomes local San Diegans and visitors each day who enjoy the park's facilities and the natural beauty of the surroundings. The Mission Bay Gateway project seeks to connect and enhance these facilities while also expanding and protecting the Mission Bay marshlands and bird sanctuaries. Bike Paths and parks will be extended and new amenities like pools, sports fields, and a restaurant will be added for the community and visitors to enjoy. The result will be an environmental, recreational, and educational destination at the heart of Mission Bay. Learn more at the website: Mission Bay Gateway
Oversized Vehicles on City Street Ordinance Proposal
The parking of oversize vehicles (i.e., RVs, boats, trailers) on city streets has been a long-time concern for many residents of Pacific Beach and other San Diego communities. In 2008 two proposals were brought to the City Council for consideration. Due to budgetary constraints the item was tabled and never voted on.In response to the feedback the Councilmember has heard from many of the local community groups in District 2, Councilmember Faulconer is bringing an ordinance for consideration to the Land Use and Housing Committee on November 28th at 2:00pm to address this issue. You may voice your opinion about this ordinance by attending the meeting on November 28th at 2:00pm. The meeting is located at 202 West C Street on the 12th floor in Committee Chambers.
The ordinance will prohibit the parking of Recreational Vehicles as defined as:
- Camp trailers (California Vehicle Code Section 242)
- Fifth-wheel travel trailers (California Vehicle Code Section 324)
- House cars (California Vehicle Code Section 362)
- Trailer coaches (California Vehicle Code Section 635)
- Mobile homes (California Vehicle Code Section 396) Recreation vehicles (California Health & Safety Code Section 18010)
- Folding camper trailers
on public streets from 10:00pm-6:00am, unless an individual has a permit displayed. Only residents or a resident's guest will be able to have a permit. The permit will be good for 72 hours, and residents will be only to receive a maximum of 24 permits/year. The permit is designed for residents who are preparing for travel, etc.
The next update will explain the process of review and approval.
City Trash Cans and Scavenging
Did you know that city code requires everyone to pull their trash and recycle bins in by 6pm on trash day?
It may seem like a silly city rule that you have to bring your bins in and not leave them out but actually the rule is rooted in the "broken window theory" which is a really an important principle for reducing crime in neighborhoods.
The principle is, if a neighborhood looks unkempt with trash, graffiti and broken windows, it tends to increase the likelihood that people will leave more trash, do more graffiti and commit further crime.
So, it's been shown over and over again that if you keep you neighborhood clean and neat and take care of trash and take care of graffiti that you will discourage crime, litter, vandalism and things like that.
City of San Diego Municipal Code Section 66.0105:
- Containers should be stored in a secured location not visible from public right-of-way, such as behind a fence, in your backyard, or in your garage.
- Container Set-out: To ensure collection, all containers must be placed at designated point of collection by 6 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. Set the container on the street or alley, wheels against the curb and with the handle facing your home.
- Container Removal: All containers must be removed from your designated point of collection by 6 p.m. on your scheduled collection day.
- To report damaged, lost or stolen containers, to request an additional container, or for general questions about trash and recycling collection, please call the Environmental Services Department at 858-694-7000.

Tom Feeney Guest columnist/Orlando Sentinel
Florida's geology, topography, and watercourses are unlike any other state's in the nation, dominated by vast flood plains along the coast and countless bodies of water — virtually all connected underground by our precious aquifer system through sandy soils and porous limestone. Because Florida's elevation is only slightly above sea level and relatively flat, its lifestyle relies on the effective management of stormwater. Florida leads the nation in water-quality efforts, recently approving numeric nutrient standards, resulting in better flood control, irrigation and stormwater management. Both natural and man-made factors make Florida particularly susceptible to the proposed rule changes by the Environmental Protection Agency to the "Waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act.
Associated Industries of Florida's Florida H20 Coalition urges caution with the EPA defining what waters will be covered by this act, as the scope of the proposed changes and permitting legal reform is drastic. We believe that if the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were to expand the scope of federal jurisdiction under the definitions currently laid out, it would negatively impact local governments and landowners. Already, Florida is getting ready to implement the new numeric nutrient criteria. This will be an expensive water quality program that utility rate customers will have to pay for. Last year, Florida negotiated the right to write its own NNC rule, since the EPA was scientifically off the mark when presenting the first rule. Now, the EPA is looking to put another federal mandate on the backs of Floridians, using the same confusing tests to make their decision that they claimed was "clarifying."
We also believe the economic projections prepared by the EPA underestimate compliance costs. The EPA's economic impact analysis estimates all 50 states will bear a cost of $231 million, but a recent fiscal impact study prepared by Applied Technology & Management Inc. and commissioned by AIF's Florida H20 Coalition indicates that just four of Florida's 67 counties are looking at a cost estimate of $4 billion, with Seminole County alone facing an estimate of $1.53 billion. Florida simply cannot afford for the EPA to move forward with this rule making without opportunity for engagement by affected stakeholders.
So what are some examples from the fiscal impact study of how local governments will be negatively affected by the EPA's ruling? A coalition that Pinellas County takes part in has the sole mission of Tampa Bay's restoration and protection. Should the proposed rule be adopted, the study finds, "Pinellas County would have to divert funds from these critical water bodies" to meet the NNC in the newly-identified jurisdictional waters, proving contrary to enhancing Florida's overall environmental quality. Local governments would face similar challenges in regards to cost. The Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary are facing the steep cost of sea-level rise and natural waters restoration. Instead of funding these important efforts, limited resources would be forcibly directed toward municipal storm system upgrades and not environmental restoration.
We believe it's time for the EPA and the Army Corps to take a hard look at EPA's economic analysis and extend the comment period for affected stakeholders to obtain a more accurate cost estimate and identify a more cost-effective, environmentally-friendly approach. Even the Small Business Administration Office agreed the rule would hurt small businesses and urged the EPA to withdraw the proposed regulation.
At this juncture, we support Congressman Steve Southerland's H.R. 5078, the Regulatory Overreach Protection Act. We believe H.R. 5078 will lead to a better rule by requiring the EPA and the Corps to conduct an open consultation with state and local officials to develop a consensus about the waters that should be under federal jurisdiction.
H.R. 5078 would allow all other waters to remain under the jurisdiction of the various states where they can appropriately address the diversity and availability of water and land features and how best to protect them. This legislation will lay a foundation that will achieve environmental benefits and ensure our nation's ability to engage in the kind of robust economic activity that sustains and supports Americans working in all sectors of the economy.

Michael Dooner: Protecting our water
Michael Dooner/My View - Tallahassee Democrat
This month, a bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Panama City, that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from expanding its authority passed the House by a wide margin. This bill is particularly important to the many people in our area who would be impacted by the EPA's latest attempt to increase its power.
The story behind the bill is simple. This spring, the EPA issued a proposed administrative rule under the title of the Waters of the United States. The reason, the agency said, was to redefine "navigable waters" for purposes of clarification in light of Supreme Court rulings, which hold that the term "navigable waters" under the Clean Water Act does not include all waters.
The problem is that EPA's "clarification" significantly broadens its regulatory reach to include almost any body of water in the country, including ditches and other areas that serve as temporary collections of rainwater. As the Supreme Court has ruled and Congress has affirmed, the CWA was never intended to give EPA regulatory authority over every body of water that forms on land.
I strongly believe in the need to protect our water resources. EPA's proposal is not the best way to accomplish that goal.
More than improved water quality, EPA's proposed rule creates a bureaucratic spider web of permits, fees and mitigation requirements. It unduly burdens the very people who are proven to take excellent care of our natural resources already: agricultural producers. State officials report that farm owners' management practices conserve more than 11 billion gallons of fresh water each year.
For example, in our area of the state, nursery operators have devoted substantial money and attention to precise irrigation, water recycling and wetland enhancement. Local foresters also manage their acreage in ways that protect and enhance Florida's waters by adherence to Silviculture Best Management Practices. Increased costs and paperwork will make good stewardship more difficult, not more likely.
Rep. Southerland's bill presents a sound alternative to EPA's proposed rule by offering local and state leaders a seat at the table with EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers as recommendations are developed. His solution makes it possible for local leaders to have a voice in an issue that will have a major impact on our area.
Citizens can express their views to EPA on its proposed rule until Oct. 20, by emailing email@example.com. Include EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880 in the subject line of the message. Comments also can be submitted at www.regulations.gov.
Rep. Southerland deserves our thanks for his leadership and his willingness to sponsor a bill that offers a fair, common-sense approach to protecting our water resources.
Michael Dooner is a certified forester and a resident of Gadsden County. He is the vice president of the Florida Forestry Association and a member of the Florida Farm Bureau Federation's State Board of Directors. Contact him at email@example.com.

Southerland addresses defense contractor summit
By CHRIS OLWELL | The News Herald
PANAMA CITY — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland addressed a group of defense contractors Monday with a speech that was part recruitment speech and part policy discussion during the National Small Business Defense Contracting Summit at Gulf Coast State College.
Southerland was the keynote speaker during the day-long conference that also featured business development seminars and networking opportunities for the various companies represented there. Since many had traveled from other states, Southerland used the opportunity to pitch Florida as a sunny place to do business.
"Welcome to paradise," Southerland said. "This is a pretty good gig here in Northwest Florida."
He touted Panama City's cuisine, beaches and institutions such as schools and hospitals, as well as Florida's lack of an income tax, and urged attendees to put up their snow shovels and relocate to the area.
"This is a great place," Southerland said. "For those of you who are not happy and are going to have to go back to the cold gloomy place that you call home ... we work for the weekend, because you haven't lived until you've spent a weekend on Shell Island."
He talked about the crucial role the U.S. military and the companies it works with play in the Panhandle's economy. There are seven military installations in Congressional Districts 1 and 2 combined, he said, and many of those, such as Naval Support Activity Panama City, house several contractors as tenants.
"Those tenants are critical to the national security of the United States," Southerland said. "They're also critical to our economy here. We benefit because of the economic presence of our bases."
Small defense contractors were hit particularly hard by automatic spending cuts triggered by the sequestration early this year. Southerland told the group he opposed sequestration because it didn't go far enough to cut ineffective programs and reallocate resources to programs that provide value to American taxpayers.
"I did not support sequestration, and I'm a fiscal conservative," Southerland said.
Recent upheaval in Iraq came up during a brief question-and-answer session after Southerland's speech. In response to a question from an audience member, Southerland said he believed Congress should be involved in any decision about whether to send more troops to Iraq and President Barack Obama should not act alone.
He didn't know yet how he would vote if the question of sending troops was put to Congress, and he would need more information to make that decision.

Southerland lends a hand
By CHRIS OLWELL | The News Herald
PANAMA CITY — School's out for summer, but moms and dads still have to go to work. That means a lot of kids who normally depend on free and reduced school lunches might go hungry.
Rep. Steve Southerland joined staff members from the Bay Area Food Bank to participate in the nonprofit's Summer Food Service Program, which provides meals to kids under 18 three days a week at Andrew's Place Apartments.
"During the summer, it's a problem, kids having access to nutritious meals, so this program helps fill that need in particular places," said Don Rose, associate director for the Bay Area Food Bank.
This apartment complex was selected because it's subsidized housing. These are people who need assistance, but the program is not limited to residents here, Rose said.
About 20 kids showed up Monday. The fact that a congressman was handing them their food didn't seem to impress them.
While Southerland was handing out ham and cheese wraps, milk and fruit cups to the children, site supervisor Ronald Henderson was keeping records of who was served and what they received. He knows the kids because he sees them three times a week. It's not that these kids are neglected, he said
"Their families are actually pretty involved," he said.
While Henderson kept records, Southerland was sizing up the program, which receives federal funding. There are social programs like this that work, and there are others that are susceptible to abuses, he told Rose after everyone had been served.
"You can't just throw money at a problem," Southerland said in an interview later.
Southerland is leading the Republican Study Committee's anti-poverty initiative, which is attempting to address poverty by addressing its major corollaries: single-parent households, unemployment and low educational achievement. A family with working parents and kids in school is less likely to be poor, and thus less likely to need government help.
He's travelled the country visiting programs like this. He looks for the same things he might he look for in a business: oversight, efficiency and results. He wants to see engaged staff members acting with precision.
"You look at the resources that a company has or an organization, in this case a nonprofit," Southerland said. "How are they managing those scarce resources?"
Rose said the whole operation is heavily regulated, and the rules can be onerous because of the federal dollars involved, but there is a need that must be addressed.
"If school wasn't there to feed so many of America 's kids, how would they eat?" Rose said.
Southerland said he liked what he saw in the Summer Food Service Program.
"They're working with taxpayer dollars or donor dollars, so they need to be good stewards of those resources, and to see that they were doing that is something that I was very pleased to see," he said.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corp of Engineers continue to be in hot water on Capitol Hill over the proposed rule expanding federal jurisdiction over "waters of the United States." The National Cattlemen's Beef Association and the Public Lands Council applaud the efforts of Rep. Southerland (R-Fla.) to invalidate this rule.
Under the proposal, nearly all waters in the country will be subject to regulation, regardless of size or continuity of flow. Southerland's bill H.R. 5078 Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act halts any action of the EPA and the Corps regarding the proposed definition of "waters of the United States."
"The EPA continues to claim that their proposal does not expand the reach of the Clean Water Act," said Bob McCan, NCBA President and Texas cattleman, "but the way the proposal is written, there is no other interpretation. The vague and subjective wording gives regulators the authority and access to nearly any water, and with it, all land use activities including ranching."
For the first time, ditches are included in the definition of a "tributary" and many will now come under federal jurisdiction. Activities near a jurisdictional ditch will now require a federal permit. As a result, many cattle operations will be required to get Sec. 402 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits, Sec. 404 Dredge and Fill permits or Sec. 311 Spill Prevention Control, and Countermeasure spill plans.
The bill also includes a provision previously offered as stand-alone legislation by Rep. Ribble (R-Wis.) that will invalidate the "interpretive" rule, which attempts to define and interpret the "normal farming, silviculture and ranching activities" exemptions under Sec. 404 of the Clean Water Act.
According to the EPA, the 56 exempted NRCS practices, including prescribed grazing, were chosen because they have the potential to discharge if they are done in a "water of the U.S." Effectively, the agencies have made cattle grazing a discharge activity, forcing cattle producers to obtain a NRCS-approved grazing plan or else be subjected to the 404 permitting scheme and the penalties under the Clean Water Act.
"This proposal takes the authority Congress granted EPA far beyond the scope of Congressional intent," said Public Lands Council President Brice Lee, a Colorado rancher. "Not only is this illegal, but it clearly disregards the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Clean Water Act jurisdiction. We appreciate Mr. Southerland and Mr. Ribble's efforts to prevent the agencies from finalizing this regulation, which we see as the largest federal land grab in history."
NCBA and PLC strongly support this legislation and encourages the House to pass this bill, protecting the rights of private property owners across the country.

Lawmakers target EPA's water regs
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed two bills Wednesday aimed at undercutting the way the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates water pollution.
One of the bills would give states more authority over water pollution permits and state permitting rules, while the other would block the agency's joint proposal with the Army Corps of Engineers to redefine which waters it has jurisdiction over per the Clean Water Act.
"When it enacted the Clean Water Act, Congress established a system of cooperative federalism by making the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the states partners in regulating the nation's water quality and allocated the primary responsibilities for dealing with the day-to-day water pollution control matters to the states," Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio), chairman of the panel's subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, said about the bill to shift more permitting authority to states.
But Gibbs said the EPA "is inserting itself into the implementation of state water quality permitting standards and is second-guessing states on permitting decisions in how standards are to be implemented, and even second-guessing EPA's own prior determinations that a state's standards meet the minimum requirements under the Clean Water Act."
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) sponsored the bill in an effort to help the coal industry, whose mines often need permits to dump waste materials.
"This act addresses many of the obstacles that the EPA has placed in the way of our coal production in Appalachia," she said. "The EPA has a clear-cut role, and has for years, in making sure that these permits go forward. This bill does not in any way take that right or that ability from EPA away."
The panel also sought to overturn the EPA's highly controversial Waters of the United States rule, proposed earlier this year to clarify its jurisdiction over streams, lakes and other bodies of water, after a series of Supreme Court rulings that called the agency's authority into question.
Earlier Wednesday, the panel passed another bill aimed at the EPA's water rules. That bill would restrict the timeframe in which the EPA can veto permits to dump dredge or fill materials into waterways and wetlands. Republicans said stopping the rule would restore a longstanding federal-state partnership over water pollution issues.
"The EPA and the Corps of Engineers are engaged in a brazen effort to upset a successful federal-state partnership that has regulated America's waters for more than 40 years," said Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.). "Forty years of progress is now being turned onto its head under the guise of clarifying the scope of federal jurisdiction."
Democrats defended the EPA.
Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) called the permitting bill "a wholesale rewrite of the underlying permitting requirements of the Clean Water Act."
Bishop said that the bill would encourage a state "race to the bottom" in terms of water regulation, in which states would roll back rules to attract more industry while allowing more pollution.
"As our nation's history has shown, when individual states get to compete against one another for the lowest water quality protections, rivers catch fire, lakes die and the overall quality of our economic and ecological health suffer," he said.
Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.) said the bill to stop the water jurisdiction rule "would have a drastic impact on the health of our water supply."
She and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) recognized, however, that the EPA's proposal could have been more clear and answered more questions.
"They keep telling us what it doesn't do, and if you've written a rule and you have to keep telling people what it doesn't do, then maybe your rule needs a lot of work. And that's why we have a public comment period," DeFazio said.
By CHRIS OLWELL | The News Herald
PANAMA CITY — Congressman Steve Southerland hosted local civic leaders at a press conference Monday to tout new legislation that would limit the federal government's authority to close off vast sections of the sea to fishing.
Southerland, R-Panama City, introduced the Marine Access and State Transparency (MAST) Act (H.R. 4988), an amendment to the Antiquities Act of 1906, in response to President Barack Obama's announcement last month that he plans to close a 780,000-square-mile area of the Pacific Ocean.
"No one should have that power, and what this does, this prevents the president from acting in such a way," Southerland said.
The Antiquities Act in part grants the president authority to designate marine monuments, a type of marine sanctuary. Obama's plan would greatly expand a monument area President George W. Bush originally designated. The MAST Act would curtail that authority by requiring congressional approval as well as the approval of states near the monument area.
"The MAST Act, we believe, is an important measure to protect the citizens from yet another act of runaway government," said Recreational Fishing Alliance Board Member Pam Anderson, who runs Capt. Anderson's Marina with her family.
Southerland's proposal also would prohibit the secretaries of commerce and the interior from restricting public use of a designated monument until there has been a review period allowing for public input and congressional approval.
If the president were to create a similar monument in the Gulf of Mexico — Obama has not mentioned any such plans publicly — it would be like turning the farms of southern Georgia into golf courses, said Eugene Raffield, Southeastern Fisheries Association regional director.
"We don't need a dictator to just come in and say, 'We're going to rope this off,' " Raffield said. "You've got to have production. These are productive waters, and when you take that away, you never get it back."
Southerland said the bill has the support of fishing interests locally and on the West Coast, where the president's plan would affect recreational and commercial fishing interests, and he believes the bill has a good chance of success.
"We think that this is going to gain a lot of traction," he said.
Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki spoke Monday about the slow creep of federal regulation over his 50 years fishing the Gulf. He echoed the sentiments of Southerland and others when he said the people of Bay County know what's best for them, and the interference from afar is unwelcome.
"We have done a very, very good job on local, county and state level to regulate ourselves, and to have the ability for someone possibly from Washington to come in at this time and say and do something that doesn't know the difference between a mullet and a skipjack just really doesn't make sense," Brudnicki said.
Southerland's press conference played well with Austin Golden, a local commercial fisherman. He said he's been hurt by federal regulations in his seven years operating his vessel, "Sasquatch," out of the St. Andrews Marina, where Southerland held his press conference, and he thanked Southerland afterward.
Southerland didn't mention Gwen Graham, who will challenge him in November, but the Florida Democratic Party called the press conference a "fish and pony show" designed to distract voters from his "record of do-nothing, self-interested Washington politics."
"No election year press conference can change the fact that Congressman Steve Southerland's do nothing, self-interested D.C. politics are exactly what North Floridians hate about Congress," Florida Democratic Party spokesman Max Steele said in a prepared statement.

Legislation geared to protect 260 jobs here
Washington County News (By Staff Report)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As promised in an April press conference at Chipley's WestPoint Home facility, U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, II introduced legislation (H.R. 4955) Wednesday to extend for 10 years a free trade provision between the United States and Bahrain that is critical to keeping 260 Northwest Florida manufacturing jobs at WestPoint Home in Chipley. Southerland's bill would keep in place a Tariff Preference Level (TPL) set to expire in January 2016, ensuring WestPoint Home can continue accessing input materials imported from Bahrain.
"At a time when U.S. textile manufacturers are struggling to survive, WestPoint Home in Chipley, Florida represents one of the few remaining textile facilities in America," said
Southerland. "Unfortunately, this facility and its 260 highly skilled Washington County workers are at risk due to an expiring trade provision. I am proud to introduce this legislation to ensure these jobs stay right here in Northwest Florida, while also extending much-needed relief to an industry that has moved predominately overseas."
"As the President and CEO of the last major U.S. based home textiles producer, this is an issue my team has been very focused on," said Normand Savaria, President and CEO of WestPoint Home. "The bottom line is that the proposed extension provides a mechanism to protect U.S. jobs. We appreciate the recognition and focus of Congressman Steve Southerland on this critical issue."
"The Northwest Florida Manufacturers Council supports the extension of the TPL program under the UBFTA in order to assist the domestic textile industry and to secure jobs in Florida," said Greg Britton, President of the Northwest Florida Manufacturers Council.
By creating a level playing field, FTAs help Florida companies. The Mid-East region is an important trading block with Florida. The benefits achieved under the US-Bahrain FTA are important to creating opportunities for manufacturers, small business and our goal to
expand trade relationships to global markets," said David Hart, Executive Vice President of the Florida Chamber of Commerce.

The month of April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time that brings much-needed attention to the challenges we still face as a nation in keeping our moms, sisters, daughters, friends and neighbors safe. As the father of four daughters myself, I am personally invested in finding solutions that protect women from the threat of physical violence and sexual assault in America.
Recently, I had the honor of meeting a true champion in America's fight against violent crime. Tallahassee resident Pat Tuthill lost her 23-year old daughter, Peyton, in 1999 when she was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered by a convicted criminal on unsupervised probation. Three months after her daughter's death, Tuthill quit her job and traveled the country lobbying policymakers to support legislation that strengthens monitoring and supervision of criminals on parole and probation.
Last year, Tuthill's dream became a reality with the implementation of the first National Automated Standardized Victim Notification System. Her tireless efforts have earned her the U.S. Department of Justice's Ronald Wilson Reagan Public Policy Award.
At a time when some in Washington are content with participating in nonstop political bickering, I believe Tuthill's courageous story and commitment to serving others are reminders of the good things that can be accomplished when we fight for what is right, a fight that must continue in the halls of Congress today.
In the 113th Congress, I am proud to have voted for a five-year extension of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which includes measures to reduce rape kit backlogs, strengthen penalties for assault and improve the federal stalking statute.
I also have fought to reverse the alarming trend of sexual assaults in the military by supporting legislation to require automatic discharge of service members who have been convicted of sexual assault, as well as removing a military commander's ability to dismiss convictions of sexual assault. We should have zero tolerance for sexual assault in the United States military, and I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure our brave service members are protected during their service to our nation.
Another area of concern where Republican and Democrats can come together is in combating human trafficking. Each year, millions of people around the world are subjected to human trafficking — many of whom are women and children here in the United States. As a man of faith and a concerned father, I refuse to stand by while millions of children are put at risk of being abused and exploited through human trafficking. That's why I cosponsored the Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Human Trafficking Act, which will provide child welfare systems with the tools necessary to identify and counsel trafficking victims. I also sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urging that he take immediate action to combat human trafficking by closing down online facilitators of sex trafficking.
There are some things in Washington that simply should not be politicized. When Pat Tuthill started her journey of service 15 years ago, she didn't do so to score political points. She wanted to make a difference. That's the kind of example we can all strive to live by.
Written by Rep. Steve Southerland (R-FL)
When President Johnson launched America's War on Poverty in 1964, he did so with an expectation that all Americans could one day fulfill their "hopes for a fair chance to make good." Fifty years later, that chance remains out of reach for far too many vulnerable families here in North Florida and across America.
The facts are sobering. More than 46.5 million Americans live in poverty — more than at any time in our nation's history. Nearly half of all households headed by a single mother sit below the poverty line. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 57,000 Leon County residents live in poverty. More than a quarter of the people living in Gadsden and Franklin counties face a similar struggle. Clearly, the ideas of the past are not working.
We need to recognize that we can't lift families out of poverty by simply increasing line items on a federal balance sheet. Bigger government is not yielding better results. In fact, it only makes it harder to climb off of government assistance. We must start looking at the root causes of poverty: the absence of strong, two-parent households, dwindling opportunities for a good education, and the inability to find a steady job. We need to cut through the partisan bickering to improve conditions for job growth and expand educational prospects for students eager to learn in a safe, productive environment.
My parents taught me long ago in the parlor of Southerland Family Funeral Homes that you can't begin to help vulnerable families until you're ready to climb down in their hurt with them. That's why public service has always been about more to me than faceless budget sheets. It's about putting partnerships above partisanship — without sacrificing principles — in an effort to find real solutions.
Nowhere is that kind of thinking more necessary than in determining how we combat poverty. As the chairman of the House Republicans' Anti-Poverty Initiative, I am taking a leading role in connecting Congress with community relief organizations and families in need across the country. In Tallahassee, I've visited The Shelter and the Renaissance Community Center to learn more about how dedicated volunteers on the ground are fighting poverty day in and day out. Regardless of how many committee hearings I attend, memos I read or lectures I hear, nothing can replace face-to-face interaction with those we aim to help.
The recently approved 2014 Farm Bill shows the good that can come out of both parties putting politics aside to get things done. As the lone member of Congress from Florida appointed to the conference committee tasked with ironing out the final version of the Farm Bill, I was particularly pleased that Republicans and Democrats came together to support a provision I introduced empowering vulnerable people with a renewed opportunity for earned success.
By including a 10-state pilot program for work, job training and community volunteerism for healthy, working-age recipients of nutrition assistance, we've put the program on the same proven path of success that Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich charted during welfare reform in the 1990s.
When either side tries to tackle an issue as critical as fighting poverty, it's impossible to avoid honest disagreements over policy. However, I've worked hard to continue a conversation with members on the other side of the aisle who care about this issue as much as I do. By meeting with members such as Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., the co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus, we're better able to understand our differences and seek new opportunities to work together. It might not be a fix-all, but in today's Washington, it's certainly a start.

MECA Printmaking Talent Featured at Lewis Gallery in the Portland Public Library Through February 23
Posted: 2013-01-07
The Center for Maine Contemporary Art will again sponsor a winter exhibition at the Lewis Gallery in the Portland Public Library, 5 Monument Square. The exhibition, titled Prints: Breaking Boundaries, is curated by CMCA Curator Emeritus Bruce Brown and will run from through February 23rd. It features the work of 35 Maine artists who use new techniques and materials to expand the definition of fine art printmaking, which in the past has traditionally been limited to editions of etchings, engravings, silkscreens, woodcuts, and lithographs printed on archival paper. These traditional processes increasingly are giving way to one-of-a-kind prints on a variety of surfaces. Contemporary prints can include drawing, painting, monotype printing, encaustic, and digital manipulation, as well as multiple layers of collaged, stitched, or folded paper and even added objects for a 3-D or sculptural effect.
The participating artists represent 18 Maine communities, from York to Farmington and Orono, and include Karen Adrienne, Judith Allen-Efstathiou, Debra Arter, Will Barnet, Holly Berry, Shawn Brewer, Martha Briana, Kyle Bryant, Sam Cady, Crystal Cawley, Corliss Chastain, Nancy R. Davison, Kristin Fitzpatrick, Harold Garde, Tanner Gasco-Wiggin, Rebecca Goodale, Susan Groce, Tom Hall, Adrienne Herman, Frances Hodsdon, Elizabeth Jabar, Lin Lisberger, Cindy McGuirl, Daniel Minter, Meg Brown Payson, Damir Porobic, Ellen Roberts, Kris Sader, Delphine Sherin, Jennifer Strode, Andrea Sulzer, David Twiss, Sarah Vosmus, Barbra Whitten, and Henry Wolyniec.
The exhibition runs through February 23rd. Admission is free.

Process & Place: The Maine College of Art 2013 Residency Exhibition
The 2013 Residency Exhibition runs from January 14, 2013 through February 10, 2013 on the second floor of the Porteous Building. On Friday, January 18, there will be an opening reception from 5:30-6:30pm, followed by a panel discussion with five residency recipients from 6:30-8:00pm in Osher Hall. This exhibition is a group show showcasing the work of 18 individual artists all of whom were selected for artist residencies through Maine College of Art during the past three years. Artist residencies took place at the Jenny Family Compound in Baie Saint Marie, Nova Scotia and at the Stephen Pace House in Stonington, Maine, and resulted in work ranging from encaustic paintings to artist books to a wave machine.
Process & Place features the work of artists Rachael Eastman '94, Martha Almy '95, Richard Abbott '78, Mark Marchesi '99, Celeste Roberge '79, Dietlind Vander Schaaf, Hannah Barnes '02, Jessica George MFA '09, Larissa Mellor '04, Erin Sweeney '94, Nik Bsullak '99, Crystal Heiden '06, Alison Taylor '94, Willamain Somma, Conan Masterson, Christine Negus, Adriane Herman, and Richard Metz MFA '00.
Series One explores the landscape of identity; perception of self, carved from physical and emotional spaces. Though the characters in the work appear to be isolated and alone, they are connected. Each explores their own territory within the same world, challenged by the vulnerability inherent to exposure. The product of the first artistic collaboration between Alison Taylor, Martha Almy, and Willamain Somma, Series One is location specific, produced during an artists' residency in Baie St. Marie Nova Scotia. The artists have known each other since they were children.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) – The Los Angeles Clippers expect to have their starting point guard Chris Paul back in the line-up, Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
CP3 will return from a dislocated right should he sustained on Jan. 3 against the Dallas Maverick.
The All-Star point guard tested his body out at practice Saturday, going through his first full workout in more than two weeks.
If there are no setbacks, Paul will most likely play start Sunday evening against the 76ers.
The Clippers are 12-6 without him.

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Healdsburg, CA
Submitted: October 25, 2012
Tell us a little about yourself. I've loved going to camps most of my life. As a kid I went to Westminister Woods, Calvin Crest, Mt. Hermon, Woodleaf and others. As a Young Life leader and youth pastor I've taken kids to some of those camps along with Forest Home, Shamineau and Hume Lake. So it was nice to be able to send Bill and Nick off to camp.
What was your motivation behind this project? There is much controversy about this world came to be. I thought it was important to bring kids back to Genesis 1 & 2 for a reminder that the important thing is that God is the one who made the world and us.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Grow in appreciation of God as Creator. (This is also the first Bill book where a character decides to follow Jesus. With the Spirit's leading, perhaps some young readers will make the same choice.)
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? It was fun to dedicate this book to my parents, who sent me off to camp many times, and always took me back.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Some of my favorite books arguing for God as Creator: C. S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity", Lee Stobel's "The Case for a Creator", Phillip Johnson's "Darwin on Trial", Michael Behe's "The Black Box" among others.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Camp is cool. If you find one that honors Jesus, your experience will be even cooler.

Yen Sags After Japan Elections
Despite a significant victory for the reform-touting Liberal Democratic Party in Japan's elections for the Upper House of Parliament over the weekend, the yen was taking a brutal beating Monday as the trading community reconsidered the outlook for Japan.
The dollar was lately trading at 124.96 yen, well above Friday's closing price of 123.51 yen and slightly off the day's highs at 125.18 yen. The euro climbed to 109.43 yen, up strongly from last week's close of 108.35 yen.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's ruling coalition seized 78 out of the 121 seats up for grabs in yesterday's elections, solidifying his support base for impending structural reforms. Koizumi said just hours after the elections that he would begin to implement specific reform measures to help Japan out of the rut that it has been wallowing in for years; Japan recently slid into its second recession in as many years, and its fourth in the past decade.
The prime minister did concede, though, that Japan won't likely see any visible economic recovery for at least two to three years. And traders became increasingly concerned Monday that while reforms may help in the long-run, they may exacerbate the situation in the near-term. Analysts are also concerned that reform efforts may still be diluted or weakened due to opposition that remains in the Parliament.Comments from Japanese Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa were also dealing a harsh blow to the yen, sending it down to fresh two-week lows against the dollar and ten-week lows against the euro. The FinMin said that he will not take on a policy of weakening the yen through market intervention under the new House, though he will allow the yen fall naturally through market forces. And so the market forces did their work, as traders sent the yen lower. Adding to the weight pulling the yen lower Monday was another poor performance by Japanese stocks, with the Nikkei falling once again to a new 16-year low. Meanwhile, Japanese industrial production came out weaker-than-expected for June. The dollar remained little changed against the euro Monday, as trading was largely focused on the yen. The euro slid just slightly to $0.8754 Monday, from $0.8774 at the close of last week's trading.

December 18, 2014
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he decided to address the senators hearing his impeachment trial to appeal to their sense of fairness.
After days of avoiding the proceedings, the embattled Democrat took the floor Thursday.
He told the Illinois Senate that he decided to give the closing argument at the trial because he wants to counter the evidence -- including secretly recorded conversations -- that's been presented against him. He says those tapes are the types of discussions everyone has to get things done in politics.
Blagojevich says he's innocent and throwing him out of office would set a dangerous precedent.
He arrived at the Capitol as impeachment prosecutor David Ellis was giving his closing statement on the Senate floor.

Get Your Ohio Online Driving Records (by DaytonDUI)
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has created a system to access your driving record on-line. The system permits drivers to obtain a record of all convictions within the past two years. The driving record will also reflect all open suspensions or revocations. Drivers are reminded that Ohio Revised Code (ORC 4510.037) provides that the Registrar of Motor Vehicles is required to impose a license suspension on all drivers who accumulate 12 points on their records during any two-year [Read the full post. . .]
Driving Under Suspension: What is a 12-Point Suspension?
12 Point Suspensions
Driving under suspension is a serious offense in Ohio. A violation is a first degree misdemeanor and some provisions of the law provide for mandatory jail time. A twelve point suspension is caused by the accumulation of not less than 12 points on your driving record within a two-year period. The suspension begins twenty days after Ohio's BMV sends you a letter putting you on notice of the suspension. It is not usually a valid defense [Read the full post. . .]

Advanced Research
At the extremes of science, research often goes beyond "scientific discovery" to become the discovery of new sciences.
In laboratories around the world, Keysight instrumentation has become an integral part of advanced experimental systems, whether for system control or experiment observation.
Applications include:
- Astrophysics
- Nuclear physics
- Particle physics
- Plasma physics
and other high-energy physics advanced research applications.
Keysight high-speed instruments are used in two major areas:
- Real-time control and measurement
- Single-shot, or event-based measurements
Expanding knowledge on phenomena at galactic or nanometer scale, confidence in results is strengthened by dependable measurement solutions that provide exceptional speed and measurement fidelity. Keysight provides the extreme speed and precision needed for system monitoring and control, and for capturing data from the events at speeds that exceed the interactions of the experiments themselves.

Hi World Pulse!
It has been a very long time since we last met.I missed you very much i was very busy preparing for my exams which just ended yesterday.My results will determine whether i will move to high school or not.I now have two months which i will use to move on with my project.I want to work very hard so that at least my project will move a few steps forward.
I have never changed my dream of having a school for young girls who are orphans.I have confidence that i will start building a school soon,and if i am lucky in any way it should start in December.I want to have a vegetable farm in the school so that we can have something to eat and sell when there is no funds.
I hope i will start fulfilling my dreams now.We have already identified a piece of land which we can use to build a school and where the girls can live.The place is next to the lake.and i thought that we could make it a beach school,wherre the children can enjoy the lake shore and visitors to the school can also have fun.
Anybody who has a suggestion can write to me and help me with any ideas.I hope for the best.
Dear Leila, Wow! We have the
Dear Leila,
Wow! We have the same aspiration . Hope it will be realized soon. I'm so happy for you.

Mpendwa Leila
Hooray! How lovely it is to hear your voice again. I wish you well in your exams but hope that you will take a break and enjoy being out of school. I was recently reading about Efren Peñaflorida from the Philippines, and thought you might be inspired by his story. This was taken from the Ashoka Changemakers site:
Peñaflorida uses a pushcart classroom to teach children from slum areas reading, writing, and basically uplifts them and their community. He, with his team, roam around slum areas with a cart stocked with paper, pencils, crayons, tables and chairs.
Peñaflorida himself is a victim of gang bullying in school. He consider this as a life-changing turn point in his life, and thus motivated him to build his pushcart classroom. His "mobile classroom" targets children of two to 14 years old.
If looked at a different perspective, this pushcart classroom may be small as compared to what other heroes did. Although literally small, this move has helped many children not only in learning but in appreciating education as well. In the eyes of some people, this may appear to be "just a random act of kindness", but in the eyes of those who were taught, this act is something big, and thus, deserves an award known worldwide.
I believe that your acts of kindness will also have a profound effect on the children in your community and though it may seem that you are starting small, the impact will be huge. Best wishes in your endeavours and I can't wait to read of the progress. Barikiwa sana. With much love,
LEILA, Hugs to you!
My dear Leila, hugs and laughter to you, that is what you deserve. You will live to fulfill your dreams, it is now closer to you more than ever. May God be with you.
Love you darling

Hi Leila,
It's so great to see your smiling face here on PulseWire again and feel the power of your spirit. You are a visionary and I so admire you for your ability to dream big and touch so many people who are in need.
Congratulations on completing your exams! We want to hear all about your plans for the school.

It's been over a year!
Everything is on Facebook.
But Facebook isn't real like this, it's not the same. EVERYONE has Facebook, so what I post is stuff I don't mind EVERYONE seeing. And it's short and concise.
It's just not the same and I feel like maybe I have more to say. We'll see if it's true or not I guess.

OgilvyOne loses BA business
OgilvyOne was told late yesterday (5 March) that it has lost British Airways' loyalty account, after six years running the famous Executive Club scheme.
BA: OgilvyOne kicked out of pitch
The future for this account, as well as the main advertising business, is still in the balance, with Bartle Bogle Hegarty and Sapient Nitro the only agencies left in the running for all of BA's marketing communications work.
A spokeswoman for BA said: "We can confirm that OgilvyOne has been unsuccessful at retaining its position as British Airways below-the-line and loyalty marketing communications agency, as part of the broad agency pitch the airline has been conducting."
Ogilvy One will continue to work on the airline's creative technology business, which it services through a special agency called 12th Floor. The new division was created from a consortium of agencies outside of WPP including eCommera, Imano, Ravensbourne College and Decision Technology.
This was an innovative approach to meet the airline's needs and resulted in highlights such as the "social symphony" campaign.
The BA spokeswoman said the creative technology business was not part of the pitch.
BA is understood to be looking for a single agency to manage all its advertising and customer engagement work, and this is likely to go either to the digital giant Sapient or to the incumbent creative agency BBH, working with a partner direct shop.
The pitch for BA's iconic advertising has now been running for seven months.
