#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Controversial Plaza 'Attic' Back on the Market for Million http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/06/07/controversial_plaza_attic_back_on_the_market_for_59_million.php The lawsuit over the Plaza penthouse once purchased by Andrei Vavilov might be a little ridiculous—he sued on the grounds that the developers hadn't given him the “light and airy expanse” they promised, but had instead given him something more like an attic—all signs point to the fact that buyers haven't exactly been thrilled with this particular property. The latest sign: the penthouse is back on the market as of yesterday, this time asking million. Avid Plaza fans might recall that the apartment sold last spring for a little more than million (after a long wait and some PriceChoppage), so why the extravagant flip attempt?http://www.twitpic.com/cxyt77

The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on authorities to halt their harassment of the press. “The heart of Turkey has become an epicenter of official violence and obstruction of the press,” CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. “If the government of Prime Minister Erdogan is genuine about its democratic commitments, it must allow journalists–both foreign and domestic–to report freely on the ongoing news events in the country.” RELATED: http://en.rsf.org/turquie-mounting-police-violence-against-17-06-2013,44808.htmlhttp://www.twitpic.com/cxyytj

You spoke, they listened. Last month, 10,000 of us submitted comments to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), in which we objected to new so-called free trade agreements. We asked that the government not sell out our democracy to corporate interests. Because of this pressure, the USTR finally let a member of Congress – little ole me, Alan Grayson – actually see the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is a large, secret trade agreement that is being negotiated with many countries in East Asia and South America. The TPP is nicknamed “NAFTA on steroids.” Now that I’ve read it, I can see why. I can’t tell you what’s in the agreement, because the U.S. Trade Representative calls it classified. But I can tell you two things about it. 1) There is no national security purpose in keeping this text secret. 2) This agreement hands the sovereignty of…
