Note: Read related news about North Tonawanda High School Teacher Arthur J Harack who was arrested in August 2011 and "...charged for aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of a child." Nevertheless, in August 2012, Harack was allowed to plead to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated in Niagara County Court before the Honorable Sara Sheldon Farkas, (and is still gainfully employed by the City of North Tonawanda School District), even though at the time of his arrest, his BAC (blood alcohol content) was 0.13 percent and Harack had a child in his vehicle.

Excerpt ~ "The New York Times reported on the NYPD-enforced media blackout. Members of the media said, “They were shoved by the police.” They shared how the NYPD had not distinguished between protesters and members of the press and had even put a New York Post reporter in a “choke-hold.” Gabe Pressman, president of The New York Press Club, wrote a letter to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, stating, “The brash manner in which officers ordered reporters off the streets [on the night of the eviction] and then made them back off until the actions of the police were almost invisible” was “outrageous.”"

Excerpt - “The corporate cartoon media blackout has kicked in because they’re afraid — what if we really do want change, what if we get it,” said master of ceremonies Jello Biafra, the veteran punk musician and political activist.
“But don’t hate the media — be the media,” Biafra told the crowd, which included more than a dozen activists live-streaming online. “We occupy: We won’t give up. We won’t go away. Our time for survival is at stake.”

JP Morgan Chase & Co. Interested in Sheldon 'Shelly' Silver Corruption
Updated 12 September 2012 at 10:20 PM
According to a recently received record (below), it appears one of Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver's largest contributors, JP Morgan Chase & Co., appears interested in "sheldon silver- corruption".
A Brennan Center for Justice Article published in July 2012, "Money In Politics This Week', reveals "An examination of Silver’s campaign finance records displays that his investments include companies with state contracts, lobbying relationships with legislators, and regulatory interests. The list also contains several firms that contributed handsomely to Silver’s campaign such as Verizon, JP Morgan Chase and GE." "... Although the investments are legal–they are operated by separate mutual funds–they nonetheless raise questions about conflicts of interests. Elected officials are required to disclose the purchase of investments, but they do not need to provide details about interest and dividends gains or losses."
Silver has recently been been accused of covering up and approving a 'secret settlement' in the Vito Lopez sexual harassment scandal and is facing a criminal probe. According to an article in the New York Daily News "Silver confirmed the widening probe, and said he welcomes it."
