The Occupy Wall Street support


The Occupy Wall Street movement has received so much media coverage in recent weeks that it’s nearly impossible to keep abreast of all the developments. So many endorsements and criticisms coming from all directions enter the news cycle in such rapid succession that even the most dedicated news junkies may have missed out on many of the pronouncements. Supporters and detractors of OWS both might find it useful to have a handy all-inclusive list of who has endorsed or embraced the protest.
To satisfy that demand, we hereby present a list of groups, organizations, individuals and entities that have expressed their support for, sponsorship of, or sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Texas youth targeted by Mexican drug cartels

This is from the Arab Herald. The over seas press is good about picking up news that our news outlet give little attention to, in favor fluff and candy. It is old, but news-worthy all the same.
Texas youth targeted by Mexican drug cartels
Mexican drug cartels appear to be expanding their presence and activities in the United States, even targeting ‘expendable’ US teens in a concerning new trend, say Texas officials. The United States is the primary market for Mexico’s drug cartels, feeding the cycle of violence in the country as the state tries to suppress the violent gangs, but now Mexico’s war on the drug cartels may be spilling over into the United States.

Bugs?

According to the Tampa Florida:
Millions of Bees Mysteriously Die in Florida
Florida officials are abuzz as to how millions of honey bees were killed in Brevard County. Several beekeepers in the county have reported lost colonies this week. Charles Smith of Smith Family Honey Company told Stuart News Thursday he lost 400 beehives. He says the bees appeared to have been poisoned.

And Yahoo news is reporting that:
Hairy, crazy ants invade from Texas to Miss.
And they're on the move in Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. In Texas, they've invaded homes and industrial complexes, urban areas and rural areas. They travel in cargo containers, hay bales, potted plants, motorcycles and moving vans. They overwhelm beehives — one Texas beekeeper was losing 100 a year in 2009. They short out industrial equipment.
