Occupy London Tour in Canary Wharf. Exclusive Video: Tension, Dissension and Construction in Occupied D.C. WASHINGTON — “Eat your heart out, Zuccotti!” Exclaimed Sophie Vic, chiding the far-more-celebrated former occupiers of Zuccotti Park in Manhattan. Vic, camping in D.C.’s McPherson Square since Oct. 6 while keeping her fulltime day job, was literally jumping with excitement as compatriots assembled a 24-by-24-by-17-foot wooden meeting hall designed to hold 100 people. It bent, to the breaking point, the definition of “temporary structures” that are allowed in the park by the National Park Service Police.

Judge expected to rule today on temporary fate of Occupy NOLA encampment. A federal court judge is expected to rule by 2:30 p.m. on whether to grant a temporary restraining order to Occupy NOLA protesters who were seeking to prevent the city from clearing their encampment across the street from City Hall.
Even though demonstrators were forced out and the camp cleared early this morning, protesters could be allowed to return if the judge rules in their favor -- at least for 10 days, until a hearing for a permanent injunction can be held, said plantiff's lawyer Bill Quigley. If granted, a temporary restraining order would not necessarily protect Occupy protesters if they relocate somewhere else in the city, he said. Lawyers for both sides appeared this morning before U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey, who said he was "not happy" that the city opted to clear the camp while a motion for a TRO was pending.
