The site was on land in both Yosemite National Park and the Sierra National Forest. The park worked with Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office deputies and detectives, an officer from Mariposa County Probation, and park rangers from Point Reyes National Seashore
How did Point Reyes get to Yosemite?

The new park superintendent used to be the superintendent at P. Reyes.He wanted backu I'll bet, from people he could trust and that's what the rangers from Pt. Reyes were doing in Yosemite.

Man With Pit Bull Stabs Dog At SF's Fort Funston

Dog walkers at one of the Bay Area's largest dog-friendly parks are on guard after a man walking his pit bull at Fort Funston stabbed another canine in San Francisco Thursday.
At about 2:30 p.m. Thursday, a dog walker reported to the U.S. Park Police that her dog had been stabbed multiple times with a knife by a man walking another dog near the Sunset Trail, a police spokesman said.
As the two dogs drew closer, they assumed an aggressive stance. Apparently, when the woman asked the man if his dog was neutered, he responded inexplicably by stabbing the woman's dog four times.
"It is just inexcusable that someone would respond that way," U.S. Park Police spokesman George Durgerian said. "Unless you're being attacked by the dog, there's no justification."
The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic man in his 30s, standing approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall with short dark hair.
An individual matching the suspect description was seen leaving the Fort Funston parking lot in a forest green SUV with tinted windows and a dog crate in its rear.
Police and dog owners are hoping his canine companion, a white-faced brindled pit bull possibly named "Denali," will give away his identity.
The woman's dog, Lenny, underwent surgery at an emergency pet hospital and was last reported to be recovering, although his injuries are severe, Durgerian said. The slashing injured many of Lenny's internal organs, includes his spleen and at least one lung.
Fort Funston, which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area operated under the authority of the National Park Service, is well-known as an off-leash dog park.
The unprovoked attack has raised the hackles of regular park users, including Linda McKay of the Fort Funston Dog Walkers Association.
McKay couldn't recall a similar violent attack by a person against a dog, but said that the expansive natural park has seen its share of emotionally unstable characters.
"We've had episodes where people bring their craziness and things happen," McKay said.
In 2006, a suicidal 59-year-old San Francisco man shot two hang gliders, mortally wounding one, at the park before turning the gun on himself.
McKay, who operates the organization's website, has been working to spread the word of the attack and enlist the help of dog owners throughout the city to sniff out the identity of the attacker.
"He's not just a Fort Funston person, he goes to all the dog parks," she said. "We understand he goes to Stern Grove, as well."
Members of another city dog walkers association say they are confident pet owners will identify the man.
Nancy Stafford, co-director of the San Francisco Professional Dogwalkers Association, said another woman who witnessed the man fleeing the scene recognized the suspect as one of her regular customers at her Outer Sunset pet supply store.
"I'd be faxing and e-mailing all the vets and asking if they have a client with a dog named Denali," Stafford said.
Although the pit bull was not at fault in this attack, Durgerian reminds dog owners that the park service requires all dogs to be under the control of their owner.
"People like him give dogs owners a bad name," Durgerian said.

The proposition is far from perfect and it will still remain illegal under Fed law. But I think passage would be a crucial milestone. People will find out that, like other countries that have done this, legalization does not cause much of a change in consumption.
If Cali passes the law, there will be a national debate and the cali law can always be changed/improved later and other states can pass there own laws.
Heck, even it it goes down, I consider it a huge milestone that it is on the ballot and the outcome is still in doubt.
Mexico should legalize it also (about half of the Cartels drug money is from pot). Passage of the Cali law would give them cover to do that even if the Cali law is unworkable (or squashed by Fed enforcement).

The growing site suffered extensive resource damage, including damage to the native vegetation and landscape.
At least they didn't pave paradise and put up a parking lot
or a dam
roads
bridges
tunnels
hotels
gift shops

There's a long history of damage to the native vegetation and landscape in Yosemite

Recently in Colorado, I believe in Lyons, SWAT teams raided an outdoor crop. The irony is the town has been given the go ahead to turn an old egg factory into a marijuana farm.
Everybody who's talking about legalizing marijuana has to keep in mind that big business will ultimately be cashing in on this crop and putting the little guys out of business.
Get ready for marijuana brought to you by ConAgra, Phillip Morris, Procter and Gamble, etc.
No judgment here, just an observation.

I think Californians are ready to end the hypocrisy and cross-border drug trade (north and south) but in the end big business will have it's way and that will be to continue to rake in profits, get people of working age out of the job market and create jobs for the prison industrial complex. Also big pharma isn't going to let a law pass that would render half their drugs useless since cannabis is now being recognized as efficacious against a host of ailments including depression, pain and even things like cancer and diabetes due to it's high alkalinity.
I'm for legalizing but not necessarily for this law and anyway I don't vote anymore having decided it's an exercise in futility akin to banging one's head against the wall. All it took were two stolen presidential elections and watching the country elect Wall St. this last time. I'm also fearful of the way the "majority" thinks so I'm already on the losing team...democracy in this country is an illusion kept in place to lull people into thinking it exists.
