Reposting this story about a local physican who worked at the Coastal Health Alliance in West Marin and recently had her medical license suspended. A few people felt posting her picture and story details was not appropriate on FB. If you wish to read the full story, you can go to the Marin IJ article here:
http://www.marinij.com/article...I'd be curious to hear what other people think, its an interesting dialogue about private versus personal information, community news, social media, etc.

Very sad, thanks to the rescue crews for the time they put in. "Authorities believe a body found just south of McClure's Beach Sunday was that of a 62-year-old San Jose man reported missing the day before.Searchers discovered the body about 11 a.m. about 100 feet down a cliff, according to Lt. Doug Pittman, county sheriff's spokesman.Authorities think the man may have stumbled over the cliff." MORE INFO:

This is a big deal. "Veteran Supervisor Steve Kinsey's decision to call it quits without an heir apparent has triggered a behind-the-scenes political scramble. Only one candidate, Alex Easton-Brown, has declared an intention to run for the seat at stake on the June ballot, but several others are lining up, including Kinsey's political aide, David Escobar of Pittsburg."

Here is Tolay, the wayward pregnant elephant seal, out at the elephant seal overlook in Point Reyes. Great job by everybody who worked really hard to make this a happy ending. She is tagged, so they'll be able to follow her general progress.

"Endangered coho salmon are riding waves of rain into Marin in numbers not seen in a decade. "It's very busy, there are a lot of coho out there," said Greg Andrew, fishery program manager for the water district. "It's a very active time." The agency is documenting coho swimming by its antenna just upstream of Point Reyes Station. The antenna detects tags that were implanted in the fish when they were fry. Each tag has a unique number that allows identification and data collection."

Massive waves at the beach today. Be careful if you head out there. "A large long period swell will produce hazardous conditions along the coast. Westerly swell of 20 feet is forecast. These large waves will produce exceptionally large surf and a heightened risk of sneaker wave activity along with strong currents. When visiting the beach on Monday please allow extra distance between yourself and the water. Never turn your back to the ocean when visiting the beach.

This is not good: "The Marshall Store was burglarized for the second time this year on Sunday night, marking the third burglary of its kind in the area since May. Three or four thieves apparently pried open the oyster bar's front door and took the safe, which was bolted to the ground, and the cash in the register, said owner Shannon Gregory. "We have some surveillance footage, but everyone [was] wearing hoodies and masks," he said."
