Occupy Oakland

The protesters walked to the vacant convention center, where some started tearing down perimeter fencing and “destroying construction equipment” shortly before 3 p.m., they issued a dispersal order and used smoke and tear gas after some protesters pelted them with bottles, rocks, burning flares and other objects, police said. Police Sgt. Christopher Bolton said the arrests came after protesters marched through downtown Oakland a little before 8 p.m. Saturday, with some of them entering a YMCA building.

Most of the arrests were made when protesters ignored orders to leave and assaulted officers, police said. By 4 p.m., the bulk of the crowd had left the convention center and headed back downtown. The demonstration comes after Occupy protesters said earlier this week that they planned to move into a vacant building and turn it into a social center and political hub. They also threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall. http://www.linkwhatishr.com/occupy-oakland/

A recent study saying marijuana use is now at a 30-year high for 12th graders. In fact, pot use is up for 8th and 10th graders too according to the study conducted by University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. They’ve been tracking teenage drug and alcohol use of 8th, 10th and 12th graders since 1975. The California Department of Education’s Healthy Kids report according to its 2010 survey of Palo Alto high school students, 69 percent claimed they had never tried marijuana – ever. But nearly three-quarters of them believed their peers had.
The good (and somewhat surprising) news is that there has been a long-term gradual decline of alcohol use. It reached an all-time low this year & the bad news; more kids are getting stoned than ever before: 43 percent of high school seniors reported having tried marijuana at least once. Nearly six percent of them reported daily use of the drug. http://www.linkwhatishr.com/fast-times-at-ridgemont-high/
