| NORMAN, Okla. — Members of Occupy Norman marched quietly along a sidewalk in downtown Norman on Wednesday, despite being threatened and having a tent vandalized earlier in the day. Peyton Gates said an irate man yelled at Occupy protesters currently camping at Andrews Park. “He threw the hammer at us,” she said. “He also said, ‘I’ll do a lot worse than that.” While Gates and other Occupy Norman members did not see the man vandalize the tent, they said he made statements of admission to them and threatened them. “Are you ready to die for your liberalism” was a statement... |

| While Occupy protests in the US have been marred by violent clashes with the police, demonstrators in Melbourne have taken a sillier approach to dealing with authorities. In a video posted on YouTube on December 3, a troupe of police officers is seen approaching the camp in Treasury Gardens, presumably to issue move-on notices. But as they near, the protesters suddenly transform into "tent monsters". Wearing their temporary abodes as costumes, they run circles around the police, giggling hysterically at their prank. When the police realise there are no real tents set up in the park they turn around to... |

| BOSTON (CBS) – Occupy Boston protesters brought a huge winterized tent to the edge of Dewey Square early Monday afternoon, but were blocked by police. Occupiers were left standing outside their camp with the military-style, 500-pound tent, which was tightly wrapped up in plastic and wheeled in on a cart. The peaceful standoff began at noon as expected. City officials handed out fliers to the occupiers saying the tents violate fire safety and building codes. New building materials are prohibited and the protesters would need to apply for a permit. The standoff ended about a half-hour later as the protesters... |

| The rocky economic recovery and stagnant unemployment rate have led to a surge in the homeless seeking shelter in shanties and tents nationwide, experts say. There's no official estimate on how many tent cities exist but, experts say, nearly every state has one and the presence of such communities is soaring. "In just about every major city, there are tent cities," said Michael Stoop, a community organizer for the National Coalition for the Homeless. "Unfortunately, we're in a growth industry and the numbers are going to continue." Stoop and his organization began formally tracking tent cities in 2010 but the... |

| A tent city has sprouted up for the second time in as many months on the median of a Berkeley street in protest of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts to in-home support services, an organizer said today. "Arnieville" is made up of a couple dozen people camping out on the median near the intersection of Adeline and Russell streets to protest the proposed cuts, organizer Dan McMullan said. The group started camping out on June 21 and plans to stay at the intersection until Tuesday, McMullan said. They held a similar demonstration in May when Schwarzenegger made his latest... |

What's the hottest ticket in the nation's capital? An engraved invitation to Tuesday's White House state dinner, the first hosted by President Obama. He and the first lady will honor India's prime minister. But in a departure from the traditional venue -- the elegant State Dining Room -- the Obamas will gather with a few hundred VIPs in a huge, heated tent on the South Lawn. The guest list for the black-tie gala remains a closely guarded secret. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, will certainly be there. Several notables are good bets, such as Oprah Winfrey and...

| Big tent or 'blurring the lines'? Reagan words drive GOP debateBy Reid Wilson - 10/24/09 02:22 PM ET Ronald Reagan’s approach toward Democrats and centrists has become the latest flashpoint in a debate over the Republican Party’s future. Potential GOP presidential contenders are disputing the 40th president’s interpretation of courting those outside the party at a time when Republicans are sharply divided over New York special election primary for the 23rd District House seat. One group claims the best strategy is to broaden the base with varying viewpoints that might appeal to new voters, while the other warns against letting... |

Iran: Pitching their tents in the wilds of the city

| SHIRAZ, Iran -- Honking horns. Gridlock. Crowded stores. In the United States, camping offers an escape from the sounds and hassles of city life. Here, families from surrounding villages and towns travel into this city of nearly 4 million to pitch tents right in the middle of the urban hustle. It's vacation, Iranian style. Increasingly popular among families seeking a change of scenery, but more and more irritating to city officials who must handle the influx, urban camping has changed the face of Iran's cities during the warmer months of the year. Earlier this month, brightly colored tents dotted the... |

Critics are fuming over governor's 'smoking tent'Bill proposes to ban smoking in courtyard

| SACRAMENTO – Perhaps nothing symbolizes the up and down political fortunes of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger better than his "smoking tent" – his deal-making lair set up in a courtyard outside his Capitol office. Last year, Democrats competed for a chance to sit in the tent with the popular governor. They'd talk policy, smoke one of Schwarzenegger's coveted custom label cigars and maybe, just maybe, bring a few home as souvenirs. Now, with Schwarzenegger experiencing declining poll numbers and fierce partisan battles, some Democrats are trying to shut down the tent. Critics view it as a monument to an unhealthy habit.... |

Del. Sen. Proposes Internet Sales Tax

| Email this Story WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Sen. Tom Carper wants to preserve Delaware's reputation as the home of tax-free shopping by slapping an Internet sales tax on online shoppers in other states. More and more Americans are discovering that online shopping can be quick, convenient and, in many cases, tax free, since many Internet retailers don't charge sales tax. Thus, residents of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other nearby states have less incentive to drive to Delaware when they can buy merchandise tax-free with a few strokes on a computer keyboard. Alarmed by the growing trend, Carper (D-Del.) is... |

| PHILADELPHIA (AP) A battlefield tent that historians say was used by George Washington during the Revolutionary War is undergoing a three-year restoration before being returned to Valley Forge National Historical Park, where it is to be displayed in a planned $100 million center. The tent served as a shelter for Washington, who lived in it for his first five days during the Valley Forge encampment in December 1777, historians said. Besides sleeping there, Washington also held meetings in the tent with dignitaries including Alexander Hamilton and the Marquis de Lafayette. Loreen Finkelstein, a textile conservator from Williamsburg, Va., plans to... |
