There are still rumours that the Marines have been called in . Apparently, they will be wearing their dress blues and are to be acting as a buffer between protesters and police.
@OccupyWallStreet, the Twitter handle of the organization behind the movement has been deactivated. Yes, the days of Twitter neutrality are long gone.
OccupyWallSt.org is back fully online after a lightening fast server was donated by @AlterNet.

For comfort needs, the people camped out in NYC still need sleeping bags. Donations can be sent to UPS Store 118A Fulton st #205 New York, NY, 10038.
Resources
Yesterday, I found that "Occupy Wall Street" did not yield very much on Google.
For better results, try "Anti-Wall Street protests."
Here's some sites where there was decent coverage yesterday. There is more news on the right-wing side of things, but the following sites will keep the left better focused.
The Village Voice
The Nation
MacLeans
AlterNet
However, the site with the best coverage to date with up-to-the-minute developments is The Guardian's Live Blog (You Rock!).
Another great read tweeted by Journalist Jay Rosen "Hacktivism Meets Wall Street."
Happy Reading and Discovering Resources!
