I don't want to even think about it when it comes to media. It's not the place for it.” Moore says he doesn't even use his Twitter account. But he and his new, post-Sonic Youth band, Chelsea Light Moving, released their first album in Ma…http://www.twitpic.com/crv0y0

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

The app is part of the global release of Mr. Ripper's newest documentary Occupy Love, a film that traces the origins of the Occupy Movement and then explores the thematic relationships between the protests against Wall Street with other global movements such as the Arab Spring and the European Summer. “The real aim of the Occupy protests,” says Mr. Ripper, “goes deeper than politics.

Andy Tsang Wai-hung said officers did not know until she was arrested on Wednesday that Melody Chan Yuk-fung had joined the movement to occupy roads in the city centre in a pro-democracy protest planned for next year. “The speculation that [this arrest] is related to Occupy Central is purely speculation.

The pipeline, built by subsidiaries of Spectra Energy, will carry the gas from the Marcellus Shale, a bed that lies under Pennsylvania and New York State, into New York City’s gas infrastructure. Naturally, the construction of such a pipeline, carrying controversial highly pressurized gas, has been met with resistance. In the spring of 2012, Occupy the Pipeline emerged, raising health and safety concerns about the pipeline. For starters, the group states the Marcellus shale has seventy times the average radioacti…http://www.twitpic.com/cp9d41
