Not until half way through the article (and only because it's prompted by a quote)

Prof Phil Jones, the CRU scientist who came in for the most personal criticism during "Climategate", was cautious about interpreting the Berkeley results because they have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

"I look forward to reading the finalised paper once it has been reviewed and published," he said.

OWS releases list of demands. I would have preferred that released them via Saul Williams reading/singing them aloud, but oh well.

Re: ................

It is a lot more than just the illegal funding of political candidates. It is also about demanding regulations for Wall Street and the banking industry. However, OWS is rather decentralized, so you have a cacophony of voices in the protest, including the ANP.

Re: ................

The one I'm with is making it illegal for corporations to fund political candidates. A lot of it revolves around political funding and is meant to ensure that politicians aren't in some rich pocket. It won't stop it entirely, but it's a start.

Yeah, that's it.

What is the goal? I haven't been following this.

Complain about not having a job while spending days on end protesting with cute signs rather than actively seeking gainful employment.

Once they had a goal to get behind, I was with them. I had a feeling I'd be on their side anyway, I just don't like aimless protesting.
