March to Washington Square Park

====================================
The war has begun; it's time to get out in the streets! However you choose to express your feelings on this sad and ominous day - through solemn vigils, loud marches, or nonviolent direct action - we urge you to take immediate and visible action.
Converge on Times Square from all directions today at 5:00PM. If the police have blocked access to the Square, we will flood the surrounding streets with our cries for peace. After the Times Square protest has run its course, people will proceed to Washington Square Park for a candlelight vigil.
*Bring a portable radio tuned to WBAI 99.5 for important news & updates.
*Program these legal support numbers into your cellphone before you go, & call if you see arrests happen, or are arrested yourself: (212) 679-6018 and
(917) 807-0658
*The weather forecast calls for rain and temperatures in the 40s. Dress appropriately! Sturdy boots, wool socks if possible, rain gear, and a hat. Avoid cotton clothing, which draws heat away from your body when wet.
*Carry a valid photo ID, and don't bring anything that the police could construe as a weapon (e.g., a pocketknife or Leatherman tool)
*Bring signs, whistles, pots & pans, drums
There will be no permit for the emergency protest at Times Square. You have the legal right to protest on the sidewalk without a permit, providing pedestrian traffic is not obstructed, but we cannot predict how the police will actually respond to our presence. Marching or protesting on the street would be an act of civil disobedience.
We expect substantial numbers of people to show up for the Times Square emergency protest, and we will have the strength, solidarity, and support of one another. But if you are someone who absolutely cannot risk arrest at all - for example, if you are an immigrant who might face deportation - you might choose to attend one of the other NYC emergency protests:

Being able to understand that basic idea opens up a vast amount of power that can be used and abused, and we're going to look at a few of the better ways to deal with it in this article.
Posted by: Prudence on January 19, 2004 02:04 AMBut some variables are immortal. These variables are declared outside of blocks, outside of functions. Since they don't have a block to exist in they are called global variables (as opposed to local variables), because they exist in all blocks, everywhere, and they never go out of scope. Although powerful, these kinds of variables are generally frowned upon because they encourage bad program design.
