After getting kicked out of Zuccotti Park this morning, Occupy Wall Street has gone vagabond. |
Or, as one of their spokespeople told us, it is now a "mobile occupation." |
The protesters are now holed up in Foley Square (near City Hall and the Courthouses) and Juan Pablo Duarte Square (near Canal Street). The actual planning for today's activities is being done at Juan Pablo Duarte. They'll be thinking more long term at their General Assembly at 7:00 PM tonight in Zuccotti Park. |
If the Mayor opens it, we suppose. |
In the meantime, protesters are waiting to hear what the Court has to say about the decision a Judge made this morning that said protesters should be allowed to bring their gear back to camp. That will be handed down at 11:30 AM, so the protesters will be outside demonstrating. |
And we'll let you know what happens there as soon as we find out. |
Zuccotti Park is clean, but because of the Judge's order, The Mayor decided no one is allowed inside. |
Police are still stations around the park. |
Protesters are still ready to go though. |
Especially since some of the were hurt by the police. |
This is what plastic handcuffs do to you. |
Some of the protesters' gear was salvaged. |
And now its moving around town. |
Here's Foley Square. Police probably knew some protesters would head there. |
There were far more occupiers at another, less obvious location, Juan Pablo Duarte Square. |
People sat on the ground and listened as plans were made. |
And there were announcements. Apparently the NYPD confiscated all OWS's medical supplies and now they need donations. |
They salvaged these signs though. |
Word is, they're going to head uptown to find out if the Court will let them take their gear back to Zuccotti. |
Until they are, or until they make some other plan, they believe that the occupation is under siege. |

Jamal Lewis Pocket QBs Are Dying ... Lamar Jackson Is NFL's Future! |
Jamal Lewis Says Pocket QBs Are Dying, Lamar Jackson Is NFL's Future! |
Want a glimpse into what the NFL will look like in a few years?? |
Take a look at the Ravens when No. 8 is on the field ... 'cause Baltimore legend Jamal Lewis tells TMZ Sports Lamar Jackson IS THE FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE!! |
"He's the future of offenses period," Jamal says. |
"The stand-up, throwing quarterback I think is about to be a thing of old." |
It's interesting ... considering the Ravens' current starter, Joe Flacco, is exactly that -- but the ex-Raven says it's only a matter of time before Joe's out and Lamar's in. |
"You're going to have to have a more dynamic quarterback to be able to use his legs versus just standing up in the pocket," Lewis tells us. |
Don't get it twisted ... Jamal loves Joe, saying he's a "great quarterback" -- but J-Lew clearly thinks it's inevitable. |
BTW ... Jamal also says Joe will contribute to Lamar's future success -- comparing it to the way Priest Holmes helped turn him into a beast in 2000!! |

These designer whitening toothpastes are all the rage with product and hygiene junkies. They have actually turned into cult items. These pastes are minty fresh and contain whitening ingredients to help remove nasty stains that cause yellowing and discoloration. |
However, consider yourself warned: these little tubes are made with top of the line ingredients which means they cost about two to three times the price of regular drugstore brands. I have tried them all and find them delightful. I can't wait to hear what you think. |

Objective: A reliable method for measuring SA thickness with ultrasound imaging has been reported, yet the ability to detect differences in levels of contractility has yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in the percent change in thickness of the SA during four diff... |
Methods: Volunteers were positioned in a standardized sitting posture and anatomical landmarks were marked for ultrasound probe positioning. Two resting and two contractile ultrasound images were taken for each exercise position and the average thickness between trials was used in the data analysis. The exercise positi... |
Main Outcome Measure: Percent change in serratus anterior muscle thickness from rest to contraction using musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging. |
Results: There were no significant differences between the percent changes in muscle thickness when comparing 4 different exercise positions (p = .624). |
Conclusions: Diagnostic ultrasound imaging does not appear to be sensitive enough to detect differences in SA percent change in thickness between exercise positions in healthy individuals. |
Using this methodology, the percent change in SA thickness from rest to contraction, regardless of position, is expected to be approximately 30 to 40% in healthy young individuals. |
