In response to you post on UFO sightings around the Farallon Islands is the notice from the Navy.

========================

Guam – The Navy and Marine Corps will conduct training on the island of Farallon de Medinilla on the following dates and times:

MONDAY -Dec. 5 from 8 a.m – 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.
TUESDAY -Dec. 6 from 6 a.m- midnight
WEDNESDAY -Dec. 7 for the entire day, midnight – midnight
THURSDAY -Dec. 8 from 8:45 a.m- 4 p.m. and 6 p.m – 10 p.m.
FRIDAY -Dec. 9 from 1 a.m – 8 a.m.

The general public especially fisherman, commercial pilots and marine tour operators are advised to stay clear from the area during the times and dates indicated.

The general location of the training on the island of Farallon de Medinilla training area will be on a 10 nautical mile radius on all quadrants. Farallon de Medinilla plays a special and unique role in national defense because its location provides access frequency that supports established training requirements.

In addition, the air and sea space in the Farallon provides sufficient room for the many different attack profiles necessary to replicate training opportunities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Guess they saw it too.

Court decision may close state’s oldest pot club
Ronnie Cohen, Special to The Chronicle

(12-02) 14:43 PST FAIRFAX — The founder of the state’s oldest medical-marijuana dispensary plans to spend the weekend deciding whether to close her Fairfax facility after losing a motion to stop her eviction
on Friday.

Despite a plea from Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana attorneys, Marin County Superior Court Judge Roy
Chernus refused to stop the eviction.

He ruled that the dispensary’s lease requires compliance with federal law, which forbids selling cannabis. “I’ve got to figure out how to fix this,” club founder Lynnette Shaw said after the hearing. “I’m very concerned about my patients’ health.”

Shaw and a team of lawyers have been fighting to stay open since her dispensary became one of the targets of a federal crackdown this fall.

Earlier this week, a federal judge rejected Shaw’s request to stop federal officials from pursuing the enforcement action.

In addition to serving as a cannabis dispensary, Shaw also runs a medical clinic at the site.

Last month, the U.S. Attorney filed a federal drug-forfeiture complaint against Farshid Ezazi of Orinda, who owns the club’s office, located behind the West Marin Little League baseball field. The feds also
threatened to seize the building.

In response, Ezazi moved to evict the club. Club attorneys argued that a state judge had no right to enforce an eviction based upon a violation of federal law.

Chernus agreed that the club has a right to defend itself against the eviction at trial. But he refused to dismiss it Friday. Peter Goldstone, Shaw’s attorney, said the case likely would be tried in January.

A trial would highlight tension between federal law and the law in California and 15 other states that allow medicinal marijuana. E-mail the writer at

This is the same rule you helped fight for by sending an incredible 800,000 supportive comments to the EPA this spring and summer.

The Mercury and Air Toxic rule is one of the most important clean air standards to ever come out of the EPA. It would reduce mercury, arsenic, acid gases, and other hazardous air pollution from America’s oldest and most polluting coal-fired power plants.

Power plants emit half of all toxic mercury pollution in the U.S and over 386,000 tons of other hazardous air pollution every year, endangering you and your family.

The 1990 Clean Air Act called for the EPA to address these dangerous emissions and we have been waiting for this crucial health protection ever since.

But now, led by Southern Company and a handful of other coal utility companies, an army of lobbyists is pressuring the Obama administration for delays in cleaning up and weakening clean air standards for the most toxic pollutants.

The Mercury and Air Toxics rule would prevent up to 17,000 premature deaths every year. We must make sure President Obama hears from us!

Peter, is it true that Robert is your man in the trenches? Oh, yeah for the regulars I am not talking about the resident Robert but chamorro who supposedly works for Peter who writes from Guam.

Peter, I also heard he is so damn cute and unattached? I am available.
