Never saw it in my printed paper:
Occupy members accused of violating city curfew
I saw these in my printed paper but the web site scrubbed 'em(?) from their version:
"Mass. coalition calls for constitutional amendment
BOSTON—A Massachusetts group has submitted thousands of petition signatures to put a non-binding question on the November ballot, asserting that corporations aren't entitled to the same rights as people. The Democracy Amendment Coalition of Massachusetts announced Tuesday that it submitted 20,000 signatures from registered voters to Secretary of State William Galvin's office. The move is in response to the U.S. Supreme Court stripping away limits on political activity by corporations in 2010. The question will be on the ballot in four state Senate districts and 15 House districts. The coalition is aiming to have the question considered in a total of six Senate districts and 33 House districts. The question will ask voters to instruct state lawmakers to urge Congress to propose a constitutional amendment limiting political contributions by corporations."
"Protests planned for governors meeting
Occupy groups and others plan to protest during the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Premiers. Demonstrations are planned for Sunday and Monday. Organizers say they want the governors and premiers to focus on the human rights of the people in the region and a process that engages them in holding their governments accountable for protecting their rights. The 36th annual conference will be cohosted by Governor Peter Shumlin and Premier Jean Charest of Quebec. The governors, premiers, and the Canadian and US ambassadors are expected to discuss issues they share, such as financial and environmental challenges, enhancing trade, and maximizing the potential of each region’s energy resources."

I don't understand it, readers. The Globe's love letter is just a blank sheet of paper.
I wonder how those kids are making out these days.

Next Day Update (found another one):
"Four women convicted in Maine capital protest
A jury in Augusta has convicted four women of criminal trespass stemming from a protest on the Blaine House grounds last November. The Kennebec Journal in Augusta said jurors deliberated about 30 minutes before returning a verdict Thursday, the second day of the Superior Court trial. Convicted were Elizabeth Burke, 49, of Union; Kimberly Cormier, 47, of Benton; and Patricia Messier, 63, and Jenny Gray, 54, both of Wiscasset. They were arrested for refusing police orders to leave the Blaine House grounds during the November protest by Occupy-Augusta participants."
