Excerpt:
Most of the activity Tuesday was in Berkeley. Sproul Plaza was a crowd of people, art installations and teach-ins throughout the day. The plaza was adorned with two pianos, couches, rugs, a cardboard Karma Wheel, a giant phoenix, tree branches supporting wind chimes and a giant red dinosaur called "Regent-o-saurus Rex." In the midafternoon, protesters from Occupy Oakland marched about five miles from Frank H. Ogawa Plaza to join their Cal counterparts at Sproul Plaza. Also on hand were Occupy protesters from Alabama, Seattle and Hartford.

 (a few days ago I cut up an old Cal t-shirt and sewed it onto my security 'Occupy' collage blankie.  I also cut up an old Raider t-shirt and put the Oakland lettering as well.  I don't like the skull and crossbones so only used the OAKLAND spelled out part.  hmmmmmmm, and here's why maybe.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_Raiders 
 Excerpt:
 The original team colors were black, gold and white. The now-familiar team emblem of a pirate (or "raider") wearing a football helmet was created, reportedly a rendition of actor
Randolph Scott.^[46]
Excerpt:

In his book, Cary Grant: Grant's Secret Sixth Marriage (2004), Marc Eliot claims Grant had a sexual relationship with Scott after they met on the set of Hot Saturday. In Hollywood Gays (1996), Boze Hadleigh, author of numerous books purporting to "out" the sexual orientation of celebrities, makes various claims for Scott's homosexuality.)  ...cal

1:50 a.m. Cal students arrive at Occupy SF

Buses of students from UC Berkeley are beginning to arrive at Justin Herman Plaza. About 100 students so far are streaming into the plaza, many wearing Cal sweatshirts. A flier is circulating through the camp setting out an agenda for the day, including a noon rally at the plaza, a 1 p.m. march on the banks and a 4 p.m. "People's Assembly for Public Education" at the state building on Golden Gate Avenue, an attempt to keep the rallying call of high tuition fees on message, even though the UC Board of Regents canceled their meeting today.

As Cal students entered the plaza, some of the Occupy San Francisco organizers were teaching them the art
of the protest: How to deal with police, how to march so they don't provoke officers, and what to say to police if confronted.

Ten buses are parked at Cal to take protesters to rallies and marches in San Francisco, centered around Occupy SF and higher education costs.

The bus convoy is being funded by a coalition of education and labor groups. The protesters aim to hold a "people's regents" meeting at the state building this afternoon.
