Winds of change at Occupy Philly, N.J. could legalize raw milk sales

    Good morning, Feeders, and happy Monday! With the atmosphere at Occupy Philly changing, the city is stepping up enforcement. Tom MacDonald and Lizz Fiedler will have stories for us today on OP’s response to the city and what we can expect next.

    New Jersey is considering legislation that would legalize raw milk sales in the state — something that would affect Garden State farmer,s and potentially their neighbors in Pennsylvania. Carolyn Beeler will have details on that, as well as more information on a flexible brain implant Penn researchers say could improves imaging.

    The time has come to dress and speak like Charles Dickens. Auditions are being held today at the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is looking for someone to play the author for his 200th birthday celebration in 2012.

    We’ll have full coverage later of Smokin’ Joe Frazier’s funeral. To follow along, track @GtownWOLane’s tweets.
