9:00 My book on Occupy last November might have been the first, but now they are arriving almost weekly. Today Krugman at his blog touted his contribution to The Occupy Handbook.... National Review now forced to fire racists daily, here's latest. But endless supply on the right.

8:45 And in London: "As Tate Modern receives droves of visitors to its Damien Hirst retrospective, the Occupy movement in London has labeled him a persona non grata in its Occupy Times of London paper, declaring him the artist who most defines the corrupt values of the financial world." Labeled "the Goldman Sachs of the art world." Shark.

8:40 American Banker: Move by cities and towns to move money to local banks easier said than done, some are finding. "To date, however, there is scant evidence that city governments are shifting their funds to small banks or credit unions." Under pressure, Austin moved out of Bank of America--but into Chase. Etc.

8:30 OccupyAtlanta fighs foreclosures in Vine City....Protesters visit Meg Whitman's home in Calif (and see photos).... Occupyers in Colorado Springs, long split, now may rejoin, around 99% Spring....Occupyers arrested in Raleigh, NC foreclosure action...

8:15 TV cameraman in Minneapolis filing criminal complaint against cops after incident the other night (police chief already said handled badly).

From late Tuesday
