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

It opened May 9 in Chicago.
