When the city closed down Zucotti Park, some of the protesters made way to this public park on Canal and Varick Streets.

I am perplexed why the president hasn't gotten involved with this protest, since this movement has spread nationally. I am reminded of how FDR sent the National Guards to protect strikers from the police seen in this video:

On a separate note but from the same movie, the Second Bill of Rights from FDR:

Both video clips are from Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism.

Checking out Google Analytics new features that give you stats about your web page and viewers. I find the In-Page Analytics useful, maybe the next major feature would offer A/B testing. A screen of your site is displayed with the percentage of users clicking in areas. If you mouse over some buttons there are more stats, some relating to dollar amounts, in my case is non-applicable. In any case, it is worth checking out.

Another feature that is nice is that you can add an annotation to anywhere in the timeline/graph of your page views.
