The co-head of the Bank of New York Mellon's asset management arm is set to join a hedge fund.
Jonathan Little has agreed to become CEO of Kedge Capital's nascent global asset management business. He is charged with building the asset management unit through acquisitions and fund management team lift-outs, the London-based hedge fund said.
He starts at Kedge in November.
At BNY Asset Management, Little was vice chairman and interim co-head. The group recently restructured its fund of hedge funds businesses, merging two of them and winding down the third, Ivy Asset Management.
Mitchell Harris, BNY Asset Management's other interim co-head, will lead the business on his own until a permanent head of the division is hired.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Blue Plate Special: The American Diner Cookbook'
With a surge in fascination with Americana and a nostalgia for simpler times, a once vanishing treasure is finding its way back into the popular culture and back onto the roadsides of the country. Their names once tempted customers with a little magic to go along with a mealthe Miss Albany, the Mayfair, Webbies, the Night Owl. Now their warmth and great food draw us toward a grand dining adventure. Indeed, the American roadside diner is a place like no other, with excellent service, reasonable prices, and conversation as plentiful as the coffee. The story of the diner began more than 100 years ago when coffee and sandwiches were first served from the back of a horse-drawn lunch wagon in Providence, Rhode Island. Slowly these roadside treasures evolved into the stainless steel railroad cars that are now associated with diners. While their popularity declined in the 1960s as fast-food chains became popular, today they are gaining in favor as more people want the personal touch present in a homey environment. The American Diner Cookbook contains more than 450 recipes for delicious foods that can be found on diner menus nationwide. Interviews with owners and others who have worked in diners and more than 100 black-and-white photographs appear throughout.

When Richard M. Hollingshead Jr. first projected a movie onto a white bedsheet stretched between two trees at his home in Camden, New Jersey, in 1933, little did he know that he was on the verge of creating an entirely new entertainment industry. With America just beginning its romance with the automobile, it's no surprise that the general public found this new form of moviegoing irresistible. Fun and affordable, the drive-in quickly gained popularity among families with young children. And, of course, the local drive-in was a favorite weekend hangout for teenagers: a place where they could go just to meet friends or take a sweetheart for a romantic evening of movies under the stars. Although drive-ins are no longer as popular as they once were, in many communities a devoted following still seeks out the open-air theaters at twilight.
Cinema Under the Stars" is a reminder of those wonderful times, as well as a recounting of the history of the drive-in experience. Here is the story, and here are the memories: B movies, concession stands loaded with goodies, screen towers, ticket booths, scratchy speakers, speaker poles, and intermission. It is all here - a nostalgic look at one of America's all-time favorite pastimes."

Elvis Presley spoke to a whole generation of people through his music. Whether it was a ballad, a gospel hymn, or pure rock'n'roll, when he sang, people listened. However, there was more to Elvis than his music and movies. Throughout his career he was questioned by mobs of adoring fans and interviewed by thousands of inquisitive reporters. Repeatedly he was asked personal questions about his life, ranging from love and marriage to his musical style, from his religious beliefs to his family. He answered them all in a polite and forthright way. Elvis Speaks is a collection of Elvis's words -- what he said on a variety of topics such as loneliness, performing in front of live audiences, how he felt about his fans, how he felt about being drafted into the army, music, love, and religion. The words are pure Elvis. They come from the heart and reflect the man behind the entertainer and beyond the gates of Graceland, the Cadillacs, the gold records, and the money. Elvis Speaks tells of a man who loved to entertain people and found heartache and happiness in a career that spanned nearly three decades.

Hillary joins the Prague cafe set
Wednesday 14 October 1998
Prague, which considers itself the region's intellectual capital, has a long tradition of local thinkers mapping out the future of the world in its atmospheric coffee houses.
It was in the city's famed cafes, such as the Slavia, that former dissidents such as Mr Havel thrashed out their plans for the eventual return to democracy, a cigarette in one hand and a cup of strong black coffee in the other, while the secret police eavesdropped from a neighbouring table.
Now capitalist values have displaced Communist ones across central Europe, but the transition between systems sometimes exacts a high social cost. The question of how to develop a truly civil society, with Western-style checks and balances between liberty and the rule of law, and social and economic justice, still occupies the region's great thinkers and writers, such as President Havel.
"No one has worked harder to nurture civil society," Mrs Clinton said of President Havel, who is a favoured visitor at the White House.
Speaking at a Forum 2000 conference, Mrs Clinton called for the development of a true civil society, where economic resources were invested in people first. "We have to create conditions in which democratic governments become even more the norm, so that all citizens are given a stake in their future, in which free markets benefit all people and not just a privileged few, and in which a vibrant civil society fosters free and active citizens."

I'm looking to transfer video wirelessly from my PC to my Television ... Are there any wireless video products that can do this?
I don't think 802.11b etc. will work, since I won't have another PC near the TV to receive and process the data. Essentially, it would output composite video from the PC's video card, and then wirelessly transfer to a receiver that can input directly into the composite inputs on the TV.
Any suggestions? This is to watch MLB.TV games on my TV...

No, it's not a mirage: Tiny 2,000-year-old oasis in China that keeps city alive is saved from being swallowed by desert
- Crescent Lake near Dunhuang is a spring in the shape of a half moon
- Oasis surrounded by sand dunes was shrinking fast due to desertification
- Saved from disappearing after government began to refill it
This ancient oasis in the middle of a Chinese desert was in danger of disappearing beneath the sands until the government stepped in to save it.
Located about 6km south of the city of Dunhuang in north west China, the Crescent Lake (Yueyaquan in Chinese) is a fresh water spring in the shape of a half moon.
The oasis, which is believed to have existed for 2,000 years, was shrinking fast due to increasing desertification in the region before the government began to refill it.
Scroll down for video
Oasis: Yueyaquan Crescent Lake in Dunhuang, north west China is completely surrounded by sand dunes. The arid region barely gets any rain each year
Remote: The tiny lake was disappearing fast - with a dramatic decline in water depth during the past three decades - before the government stepped in to save it
Restored: The water level is believed to have risen annually since it began to be refilled in 2006. The site, which is believed to be about 2,000 years old, is popular with tourists
The lake has gone from having an average depth of about 5m in 1960, to an average of less than a meter in the early 1990s as the underground water table has declined dramatically.
In 2006, the local government decided to step in and rescue the oasis, refilling it with water. It has increased in depth since then, Niceartlife.com reports.
The lake is 218m long from east to west and 54m wide from north to south and contains pure spring water.
Next to the lake is a traditional pagoda and a street lined
with souvenir stalls. The site is popular with
tourists who are taken on camel rides by guides to the peaks of the surrounding dunes.
The lake's remarkable survival in the middle of the desert is believed to be due to its low altitude, while its position is also thought to prevent excess sand from the surrounding dunes falling into it.
Dunes: Tourists take camel rides into the dunes surrounding the lake which stands out amongst the sand of the desert
Problem: The Chinese Government plans to introduce a range of measures to tackle increasing desertification which threatens various regions
Arid: A guide leading camels near the lake. The region has suffered from increasing desertification in recent decades
Surrounded by high mountains, Dunhuang has an arid climate - and is extremely hot in the summer and cold in winter.
Rain only occurs in tiny amounts and quickly evaporates, resulting in the desert landscape.
Desertification has become a major environmental problem in China which the government has tried to tackle in various ways.
This includes the proposed creation of a 'green wall' of forests to counter the spread of deserts.
Business: Guides, dressed in distinctive red jackets, wait for trade. The lake's water level dropped more than 25 feet in three decades before it began to be refilled
Dry: A man, thought to be a guide, smoking a cigarette looks out across the parched deserts surrounding the lake. China has suffered from severe dust storms due to the growth of its desert regions
Weather: A guide waits for tourists next to a group of camels. The area suffers from extremes in temperature, from very high summer temperatures to freezing winters
Hard work: An exhausted camel takes a rest in the sand as another guide peers across the area. The Chinese Government is taking steps to address the country's increasing desertification
Historic: A cart carries a group of tourists at the lake. The city of Dunhuang relies heavily on tourism and features a number of historic sites dating back to the Han Dynasty

In the school where I taught they had a similar plan. Students should not make below a C. If they do, the teacher has failed. Then they load behavior problems, students with learning difficulties, and students who refuse to do any work into certain classes and put the higher functioning and academically gifted students in one or two classes. Then they proceed to blame the teacher with the inferior class if the kids make below a C.

text: Franklin Lakes Schools Franklin Lakes, NJ Spelling Curriculum Process A subcommittee of the district Language Arts Literacy committee met to determine how best to teach spelling. The committee members were: Donna Luciano Tania Thorne Stephanie Neckles Laura Warren Diane Ricart Sharon Winters Janis Ing Strauss Barbara Weller We began by framing essential questions for which we would do research to seek answers. We conducted research by examining the work of Diane Snowball and Faith Bolton, Richard Gentry, and Rebecca Sitton, by surveying teachers and parents, and by checking the curricula of other districts. We answered the essential questions, framed our recommendations and assembled support materials for teachers. Essential Questions about Spelling with answers 1. How do children learn how to spell? Through direct instruction of strategies, word patterns and how they work, phonics, and mnemonic devices. Through reading and writing and integrating spelling strategies in their writing. 2. What should spelling instruction look like and how much class time and homework time should be devoted to it? ß Should there be direct instruction in spelling? Yes ß How can we differentiate spelling instruction and keep it manageable at school and at home? Varying the activities assigned for the list can differentiate the instruction. ß How can we maintain the importance of word study? Create an active word wall where children can add words from their reading that following the spelling pattern being studies. ß What kinds of spelling lists should we provide and what patterns should be emphasized? The lists provided in the spelling program as well as supplementary words to meet the needs of all students. ß Should there be spelling homework and, if there is, what should it look like? There should be homework and it should involve writing. Teachers should provide a variety of activities in addition to or in place of those outlined in the spelling program. Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 1 of 26 3. How can we help students to retain the spelling words that they learn as they apply them in their writing? ß What consistent message should be given about spelling in the writing process? On the final copy spelling should always be counted. In rough drafts the emphasis should be placed on content. ß What role should spelling have in the content areas? Spelling is essential for effective communication. Therefore, any finished product should have correct spelling. 4. How should we assess spelling? ß Should we establish accountability by grade level? Students who got most of their words correct on the pretest can write a paragraph including spelling words for their final test. All words would be evaluated to give them a spelling grade. Others would take the normal spelling test with dictated sentences that would include words from previous weeks. 5. How do we integrate the approach that we choose with other facets of our revised language arts curriculum? We would like to wait until the training from Teachers College to determine how best to integrate spelling with this new writing approach. Spelling Approaches Examined Spelling Sourcebook Rebecca Sitton ß Logical organization ß Goes well with writer's workshop ß Integrated into all language arts ß Do we lose the beauty of reading by extracting so much from a single selection – grammar, spelling, word study, etc? ß Spelling taught in concepts – once a concept has been learned, the student is responsible for applying it ß Words You've Spelled Incorrectly worksheet helps students understand that words are to be learned forever ß Parents are integral to success of program – actual activities that need to be done together ß List of essential words that must be spelled correctly at each grade level "no exceptions" ß Organizational structure: (unit) four concepts per week; five core words; students generate their own word lists that fit the concept ß Manual is the whole program, making things concise; manual is not new- teacher friendly ß Recommendation: Watch the video tape at the second meeting. Diane Snowball ß Spelling matters – make it clear to kids!; audience is important – have them read each other's work to emphasize this Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 2 of 26 ß Spelling comes from reading and writing – must do both frequently ß Different reading and writing genres are important for expanding repertoire of words ß Students must be supported to take risks; they need to become competent spellers and expansive writers ß Games are important ß Spelling words come from student writing ß Allowing children to choose spelling words may backfire: they choose safe words to get good grades ß Words learned in isolation are not retained well ß Need to be able to see words in their environment ß Strategies for learning words need to be taught in context, including the content areas – common expectations are important to convey message to students that spelling matters ß Assess with strategies for analyzing spelling – three patterns emphasized Richard Gentry ß Invented spelling should only be at the emergent [reading] level (K-2) ß Spelling, reading and writing are connected ß Spelling scales (stages of spelling development) ß No research to show that spelling integrated into reading and writing alone is skill-building; spelling must be directly, overtly, and systematically taught ß Spelling words should be from writing and reading level, current usage, common misspellings (demon words) Spelling Curriculum Teacher Survey Please complete the following survey and return it to Gina Velky in the Board of Education office by April 20, 2004. Your responses will help us in determining the recommendations that we will make to the Board of Education. IF YOU TEACH A SUBJECT OTHER THAN LANGUAGE ARTS, SKIP TO PAGE 2.

If you have an approach to teaching spelling that you would like to share with the committee, please write it here or contact a committee member: Writing is expected in many subjects other than language arts. 18. If you teach a subject other than language arts, do you "count" spelling? Y N Please elaborate (several programs we're looking at have content-area options): Please return to Gina Velky, Board Office, by April 20, 2004. Thanks!

Please return to your child's teacher, the school office or mail to: Gina Velky Franklin Lakes Board of Education 490 Pulis Avenue Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417 by Tuesday, April 20, 2004 Parent Survey Results In grades 1-5, most parents are satisfied with the spelling program and homework, and feel they have a good awareness of the program. In grade 6-8, it was more evenly split. Many parents believe the words could be more challenging. The majority of parents felt students should be accountable for spelling in all subjects. In grades 1-5, most parents do not want the spelling words available all at once, whereas more parents in grades 6-8 would like to have the words available. Most feel word study is important. Most parents are willing to work on spelling activities at home depending on what the activities are. Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 6 of 26 Recommendations 1. Spelling and word study must be linked. Spelling is essential for effective communication. Words should be learned for life. Therefore, students should be thoroughly taught and then be held accountable for the words learned. Spelling is important in content-area writing, also. 2. Students should be encouraged to write using sophisticated vocabulary. Spelling should be part of the editing process. By the end of third grade, all published work, after editing, should have correct spelling. 3. The current spelling program should be used in 2004-05 while we learn the Teachers College Writing Program. Consider piloting new program materials during the second semester of 2004-05 when we better understand the writing program. All teachers should supplement the current program with words that are connected, e.g., same root words with different affixes. 4. All required spelling words for a grade level will be posted on the district website. Homework will be focused on word study and should be completed by all students to whom it is assigned. 5. Assessment will focus on writing words in context and on proofreading for correct spelling. 6. Make How to Teach Spelling Without Going Crazy available for all teachers. 7. To keep parents informed about spelling, we plan to: ß Hold informational sessions early in the school year, perhaps at PTA meetings or coffee chats ß Send home information and have available at parent-teacher conferences ß Provide a packet of strategies and activities ß Make articles about spelling available through schools and, possibly, the public library ß Post information, as well as spelling words, on the district website ß Videotape any sessions that we can and make the tapes available for re- viewing or for those who cannot attend sessions ß Consider holding an educational session with a speaker who is knowledgeable about spelling Interested teachers will work this summer to create the following materials: ß Paragraphs that include misspelled words for proofreading homework, classwork, or assessment. ß For grades 4-6, dictation sentences for assessment. Sentences should include previously learned words, and words that follow the same patterns as assigned words. For 2004-05, grades 1-3 will use the dictation sentences in the back of the teacher's edition of the current program. ß Parent information, including a letter explaining the program features. ß A rubric for evaluating spelling, including performance on dictated sentences. Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 7 of 26 Spelling in Kindergarten Children should be exposed to spelling in the Land of the Letter People program, in guided and shared reading experiences, and in environmental print. There is no formal spelling program in kindergarten. Spelling in Grades 1 - 3 HOMEWORK 1. Writing isolated words multiple times for homework should be avoided. 2. Words should be written in sentences to establish meaning and context. Variations might include: ß 2 words in a sentence ß questions with answers incorporating the spelling words ß sentences in which the spelling word is the first word 3. Proofread / edit words (current and past) 4. Pick and choose a variety of workbook pages (not all pages need to be used) 5. Crossword puzzles, word searches ASSESSMENT 1. Continue Friday tests in 2004-05 ß Give test words ß Bonus/challenge words that follow the concept taught in the weekly lesson ß Dictate sentences from the "T" pages at the back of the teacher's edition using current and previously learned words ß Scoring with rubric 2. Pretest will be eliminated. Suggest using the time to work on spelling principle of the week and portable word wall. CLASS ACTIVITIES ß We encourage the use of any writing that follows the concepts / patterns taught. ß The book, How to Teach Spelling Without Going Crazy, although labeled for grades 4-8, contains many useful and engaging activities. We recommend its use. ACTIVE (PORTABLE) WORD WALLS ß Portable word walls are temporary, usually on poster/chart paper. They teach a concept / pattern or content area words. For example, a word wall on prefixes might be kept on display for several weeks while different prefixes are learned. When they are secure, it can either be moved to a writing center for student reference or replaced with a portable word wall on suffixes. SPELLING CENTER ß Include games such as Boggle, Bingo, or word sorts. ß Magnetic letters or magnetic poetry ß Writing ß Word families, e.g., -and family includes sand, band, etc. ß Root words ß Prefixes / Suffixes Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 8 of 26 WORKBOOK PAGES After spelling concept for the week has been taught, use time permitted to enrich with writing activities and extension activities. This can take the place of completing all workbook pages. Spelling in Grades 4-6 HOMEWORK All of the following are appropriate homework assignments: 1. Proofread for misspelled words in sentences or paragraphs. 2. Write sentences suing a new definition. 3. Write sentences that incorporate grammar skills. For example, use specific verbs and adjectives, write compound sentences, underline subjects and predicates, etc. 4. Identify other words that fit the week's spelling pattern. 5. Workbook pages that include activities in word study: structural analysis, synonyms, etc. ASSESSMENT ß There will be no pretest. ß Students will be tested on the original list of spelling words plus five dictation sentences that include the week's words, previously learned words and new words that fit the pattern. CLASS ACTIVITIES 1. Review games – spelling soccer, sparkle, spelling baseball, hangman, etc. 2. Building new words – Boggle, Scrabble, etc. 3. Word Wall – include words that match week's spelling pattern and exceptions, rule breakers, words that do not fit the pattern 4. Use the words for dictionary study – look up multiple meanings and use in effective sentences 5. Use the words for thesaurus study – find synonyms to expand vocabulary TECHNOLOGY? WHERE DOES IT FIT IN? ß Learn to use the spell check feature appropriately and where it does not assist a writer, e.g., "The children left there books on the bus." ß Learn to use the thesaurus and dictionary on Microsoft Word and Appleworks. ß Give paragraphs / sentences on the computer and have students use the spell check. Then check the spell check! ß Use Microsoft Word thesaurus to replace dull words. ß Use Microsoft Word dictionary to look up unfamiliar words. Spelling in Grades 7 – 8 Standard spelling should be expected in all subjects. Word study should continue in conjunction with literature study and writing and in content areas as appropriate. Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 9 of 26 Supplement to the Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum Developed Summer 2004 Notes to Teachers First grade spelling will continue to be handled as in the past. Children should be held accountable for previously learned words and encouraged to spell them correctly. (Why practice wrong?!) Second grade In second grade the students will be given the words listed in the spelling program. There are 12 standard words plus 3 or 4 challenge words. Choose 2 of the challenge words for the weekly test -- the students are studying all challenge words but being given two of them on the test. We are also giving them three dictation sentences to write on the test (worth 20 points each in the applied spelling grade). In the class work (on Monday), we will come up with a list of words using the pattern to work with during the week--writing, charting, word wall, making words, etc. Weekly Spelling Test Students will be given all list words and challenge words found in the teacher's edition. For grades 4-6, the two linking words are in a grade-level attachment to this document. The list and challenge words are worth 100 points total. Linking words are worth 2 points each. Linking Words- Children in grades 4-6 will be given 2 linking words. These linking words will be words that fit the learned spelling pattern. They come from a variety of sources – some are from previous lists to reinforce the idea that spelling words are to be learned "for life." Linking words for grades 4-6 can be found on grade level attachments to this document. On the weekly test, linking words are worth fewer points than core and challenge words. Applied Spelling - Students write three dictation sentences at grade 2, five at grades 3-6. Dictation sentences contain spelling words and review words from previous lessons. (Sentences can found in the back of your teacher's edition. You may use a combination of sentences from previous units' sentences.) The scoring rubric for dictation sentences is enclosed. All words in a sentence "count." Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 10 of 26 Rubric for Dictation Sentences for Grade 2. Students will receive two grades for their spelling tests. One grade is for the spelling list: (spelling list words + 2 of the challenge words worth a total of 100 points) and one grade for the applied spelling (three dictation sentences worth a total of 60 points). 0 points 5 points 10 points Spelling Three or One or two Everything more words words is correct. spelled spelled incorrectly. incorrectly. Capitalization Beginning Beginning word not word ¨ capitalized. capitalized. Punctuation End End punctuation punctuation ¨ incorrect or is correct. missing. Examples: A sentence … • Has all words spelled correctly, the first word is capitalized and the end punctuation is correct. 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 points • Has one misspelled word, beginning word is capitalized, and is missing end punctuation. 5 + 5 + 0 = 10 points Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 11 of 26 Rubric for Dictation Sentences for Grades 3-6. Students will receive two grades for their spelling tests. One grade is for the spelling list (core words plus the challenge words worth 100 points; grades 4-6 linking words worth 2 points each for a total of 104 points) and one grade for applied spelling (five dictation sentences worth a total of 100 pts.) 0 points 5 points 10 points Spelling Two or 1 word Everything more words spelled is correct spelled incorrectly incorrectly. Capitalization Not all All words beginning ¨ capitalized words and correctly. proper nouns capitalized correctly. Punctuation Sentence Sentence not punctuated ¨ punctuated correctly. correctly. Examples: A sentence … • Has all words spelled correctly and capitalized correctly and is punctuated correctly. 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 points. • Has all words spelled correctly and is correctly punctuated but a proper noun is not capitalized. 10 + 5 + 0 = 15 points. • Has one misspelled word (not just spelling words) and is otherwise correct. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 points.

Franklin Lakes Spelling Curriculum 9-04 25 of 26 Franklin Lakes Schools Franklin Lakes NJ Memorandum To: Franklin Lakes Families From: Barbara Elder Weller, Supervisor of Curriculum – 201.891.1856 X237 Date: September 2004 RE: Spelling in Franklin Lakes Schools Welcome to the 2004–05 school year! I would like to take a moment of your time to provide you with information about the spelling portion of our newly revised Language Arts Literacy curriculum. Spelling is taught as a formal subject in Grades 1 – 6. We expect students to gain in spelling fluency and expand their spelling vocabulary year by year. It is important to remember, though, that spelling is a skill not all that different from learning to play soccer or the piano. As spelling skills are learned, they must be practiced. Once students have learned to spell words correctly, they are expected to use them correctly forever. There is nothing to be gained from repeatedly misspelling frequently used words! Even though English spelling has few reliable rules, many of our words fit into spelling patterns. Our curriculum emphasizes those patterns. This allows students to expand their spelling ability beyond a specific list. We include challenge words in addition to core words on the weekly spelling lists. Children may always challenge themselves by including more complex words that fit a pattern, also. We will be putting all core words on the district website as well. We have eliminated pretests in favor of spending valuable class time on meaningful spelling activities. Not all workbook pages will be assigned; instead, alternate activities may appear in children's homework assignments. The purpose of homework and class activities is not only to learn the spelling of each word, but also to learn spelling strategies, apply grammar skills, analyze word structures, use words in context, build vocabulary and etymology, proofread, and learn to use reference materials such as a thesaurus and dictionary. All students will be assessed through a weekly spelling test as well as by periodically checking their writing, including writing in the content areas, such as social studies. In grades 3-6, weekly tests will include five dictation sentences containing current and previously assigned spelling words. Sentences will be graded using a rubric. Second graders will have three dictation sentences. Our overall goal is to support our students as they learn sound spelling habits for a lifetime of writing. Thank you for supporting our efforts in your home. We will be working with Teachers College, Columbia University, throughout the school year to implement and further refine all aspects of our writing program. Please look for periodic updates.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Demonstrators marched peacefully to the Capitol on Saturday as part of the global "Occupy" protests, but activists said they expected to be arrested when authorities close down the park after midnight.
Hundreds of protesters, including anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, marched from Cesar Chavez Park to the steps of the Capitol during the day to denounce corporate greed and Wall Street.
Marchers went back to the park in the late afternoon, promising to remain throughout the night despite threats of arrest after midnight.
Dozens of demonstrators have been arrested over the past week and a half after they refused to stop their "occupation" of the park late at night. Despite petitions to city officials this week, the demonstrations are unlikely to be granted an exemption to Sacramento's overnight camping ordinances.
"I'm going to sit down, and many people have come up to me and said they're going to join me tonight," Sheehan said. "We'll just see how the police respond."
The "Occupy Wall Street" protests in New York City went global over the weekend, prompting demonstrations in cities across the world.
