But the occupiers proved more resilient than a sprawling mint plant, returning Monday to replant the desecrated farm. More than 100 activists had gathered at Gill Tract, near Berkeley, on Friday and over the weekend, with some staying on site until the Monday morning raid. They pulled weeds, tilled soil, and planted seedlings. Some pitched tents. RELATED VIDEO: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=9100060http://www.twitpic.com/cqtgts

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty City Prison System Changes Way It Disciplines Mentally Ill Prisoners http://www.ny1.com/content/criminal_justice/182021/city-prison-system-changes-way-it-disciplines-mentally-ill-prisoners The city's prison system is changing the way it disciplines mentally ill prisoners. Correction officials say they'll rely more on counseling and therapy instead of solitary confinement. They say solitary confinement often makes mentally ill prisoners act worse. This is welcome news for advocacy groups fighting for inmate rights. Authorities say they want to ensure everyone's needs are met. “It will be in a secure setting,” said New York City Correction Commissioner Dora Schriro. “But the purpose is to give them the services and support that they need so as to be more successful while they're in…http://www.twitpic.com/cqf1nl

The group assembled to oppose recent proposals to develop the southern portion of an Albany plot of land known as the Gill Tract, owned by the Regents of the University of California. The proposals suggest developing the lot into a senior housing complex and a national chain grocery store, Sprouts Farmers Market. Occupy the Farm activists said they would rather see the land developed into a urban farm that could be used t…http://www.twitpic.com/cqeweb

Price: ,900,000 The Skinny: Hedge fund manager John Paulson, who made most of his .2B fortune by shorting the sub-prime mortgage market, bought this extravagant Aspen home, dubbed Aspen Lakes Ranch, for .5M. Set on 8.4 acres, the 13,000-square-foot mansion was built on spec by a local developer, who included seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a stocked pond, a private sandy beach, and a guest house. Apparently, this wasn't quite enough for Paulson, his wife, and two daughters, who are now decamping for one of America's ultimate estates. Last summer, the family paid M for Saudi Prin…http://www.twitpic.com/cpgrsk

In the days since the three women escaped from the house where they were being held, many have speculated as to why they weren’t found sooner, especially since Cleveland police had visited the house on prior occasions, and since neighbors had reportedly called the police over strange behavior at the house multiple times… RELATED VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B9eVlOCQYI&feature=youtu.behttp://www.twitpic.com/cph1nb

According to the bill's sponsors, the “Working Families Flexibility Act,” or H.R. 1406, would give employees the “freedom” to determine work schedules and time off. In reality, this bill would provide more work and less pay…http://www.twitpic.com/cph7lm
