San Jose Mercury News
—Elko police say the arrests of two homeless men on illegal camping charges shows a rise in the number of homeless people living in the city. Will Lehmann says authorities think there are more than 100 homeless people living in Elko. He says the city has had a bigger problem with illegal camping this year than ever before and the department is cracking down. Lehmann says while only a few people actually cause problems officers can’t pick and choose how to enforce the no-camping law.

G-20 summit protesters expected to seek camping permission
Tribune Review
Duquesne University political science professor Clifford Bob an author of several books on protest movements doesn’t believe the Pittsburgh summit will draw large crowds because Pittsburgh isn’t populated with many anarchists or those who embrace the counter-culture movement and travel between countries like the Europeans who converged on London. “It’s hard to predict at this point what will happen but it will be interesting to watch” said Bob. No applications to protest at any Allegheny County parks have arrived but camping there is prohibited anyway and the properties aren’t close to Downtown. Pittsburgh police have received four applications from numerous organizations for special events ranging from anti-war Code Pink’s request to erect a tent village near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to a Sept. 25 protest march Downtown by groups organized by Thomas Merton Center in Garfield. nly the New York-based Bail ut the People movement has asked to sleep over preferring West Park on the North Side.

Her response was "My family and I are here to pick up groceries so that we can go camping tonight. " So here we are not even two weeks into the school year where parents are taking their kids out of school before Friday to go camping. The teacher never received a call or email from the parents alerting him to the fact their daughter would not be in school the next day even though she would miss her first quiz and likely not remember to make it up during the teacher’s morning tutoring hours upon her return to school the next Monday (assuming she will be in school next Monday). The end result is a zero on her first quiz. Did the parents ask the daughter "Would you rather go to school on Friday or go camping?" For some parents is school nowadays something that gets in the way of recreation and fun too much? Regarding the other two students in Walmart after school gone are the days when disciplined parents taught discipline to their children by insisting that homework gets done immediately after school.
