For 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site tha is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school.  It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 WILL die VERY quickly.

It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm.  However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.

Two tree sitters remain in jail on $2,500 cash-only bail, each, after stopping a blast on Coal River Mountain for nine days. CLICK HERE TO DONATE More info at http://www.climategroundzero.org.

Needs for urgent medical care mount while obstacles to receiving much-needed supplies continue.

Santa heard from his friends at United Mountain Defense that the
National Coal Corporation was blowing up the mountains and highland
watersheds of East Tennessee. Santa decided enough was enough and
delivered coal and switches to the naughty coal corporation.

On November 20th, 2009 students occupied Wheeler Hall at the University of California, Berkeley campus. They locked themselves into the second floor of the building and called for an end to the continued fee increases, the re-hiring of laid-off workers, and other demands stemming from the University's ongoing assault on the very nature of a public education.

Before long hundreds and then thousands of supporters had gathered outside the building to support the occupiers, forming picket lines and challenging the police at every opportunity. All exits to Wheeler Hall were blockaded by supporters to prevent the occupiers from being arrested, while inside the police hammered the barricaded doors and threatened the students with arrests, beatings, and felonies.

However, after twelve hours of occupation it had become clear that the University had to back down. If the UC police had attempted to drag the student activists out of the building a riot surely would have ensued, and the police were forced to allow the occupiers to walk out into the cheering crowd after only being cited with misdemeanors.

While their specific demands were not met,
students are hailing this as a major victory, the first round in a new movement for free education and in opposition to the government's policies of forced austerity and privatization.

A segment from my Senior's March to End MTR series is included in this episode of Grit TV, thanks Sam & Laura.

Rush Limbaugh tried (and failed) to buy a football team, Obama picked a fight with FOX News, and oh yeah–there’s still ongoing debate over health care reform, two wars, and a major recession. There was plenty of bad (and a little good) to debate in this week’s media coverage.

Katrina vanden Heuvel of The Nation, Joe Conason of The New York Observer, and Air America’s Sam Seder joined our media panel, discussing the best and worst of this week in journalism, pointing out the flaws and asking why the right wing always seems to make news, while the left can barely grab a headline.

Legal/ Lawyer Comments at the ACOE Nationwide Coal Permit 21 hearing Knoxville, TN 10-13-09

Last week, world leaders gathered in Pittsburgh for the G20 summit
and delivered - as usual - lots of talk but little promise for action.
There was definitely lots of action on the city's streets as security
forces clashed with protesters. Bill Quigley, Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and author of Storms Still Raging: Katrina, New Orleans and Social Justice is just back from Pittsburgh and breaks down the week's events for us.
