ODU To Award Seven Honorary Degrees at Spring Commencement
Old Dominion University will award seven honorary degrees at its 108th commencement ceremonies Saturday, May 10, at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.
More than 1,900 students are expected to participate in two ceremonies - at 9 a.m. for the colleges of Business and Public Administration, Education and Sciences, and at 2 p.m. for the colleges of Arts and Letters, Engineering and Technology and Health Sciences. Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. will speak at the morning ceremony, while MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews will speak in the afternoon. Both will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees also will be awarded during the morning ceremony to Ethel L. Grandy, a local activist, and Richard F. Barry III, vice chairman of Landmark Communications.
A one-woman dynamo, Ethel L. Grandy, or Mother Grandy as she is affectionately known throughout Chesapeake and Hampton Roads, has been making her mark on the Chesapeake community for decades.
Grandy, an 86-year-old mother, grandmother and great grandmother, became an activist at a very early age. She recruited and trained neighborhood residents in local communities to vote at a time when it was not popular for women to lead these activities. She joined the Oak Grove Civic League in her early 20s and rose through the ranks to become president. One of her achievements was encouraging other local civic leagues to establish a joint executive committee for the purpose of recruiting residents to become active members. Local politicians routinely met with the committee.
After retiring from Chesapeake Public Schools, Grandy continued her community activities. She was appointed as one of the first African American women to be a local election judge in Chesapeake.
Continuing in her family tradition, Grandy is an active member of her church. She has served in many capacities and is known for her commitment and dedication to service. She has been a deacon, usher, trustee, Sunday school teacher and member of the missionary board, and she holds the distinction of being the oldest deacon and active member of the church. Grandy is a renowned speaker at churches throughout Hampton Roads and continuously inspires people of all ages to use what they learn in church to direct their lives.
Because of her passion for working with young people, Grandy was elected president of a local Sunday school union in Chesapeake consisting of eight churches. She was the first woman to hold the position of president. Grandy's leadership theme for the union was "youth in action." The union sponsored two successful anti-drug and youth rallies during her tenure, which featured Judge Reginald Walton, the "drug czar" appointed by President George Bush, and U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes.
In 1991, Grandy created Families United Against Drugs, which partners with the city of Chesapeake to carry out its mission of helping to educate youth about the dangers of drugs and bring an end to abuse. She speaks regularly to youth, community and church groups, and she ministers to inmates in the Chesapeake City Jail and to youth in the juvenile detention center.
Grandy has received local and national recognition for her service to the community. She has been honored by many Chesapeake officials and youth and recreational organizations. In 2007, Grandy received the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director's Community Leadership Award for "her demonstrated strong commitment and participation in the furtherance of encouraging youth to be productive citizens within the Hampton Roads community."
Richard F. Barry III served on the Old Dominion University Board of Visitors from 1985 to 1993. During that time, he held positions as rector (1988-90) and vice rector (1986-88). Barry also served on the university's Educational Foundation Board of Trustees, co-chaired the university's first Capital Campaign and created the Richard F. Barry, Jr. Chair in Mathematics in the College of Sciences.
Barry became the vice chairman of Landmark Communications Inc. in 1991 after serving as the company's president from 1978 to 1991 and chief executive officer from 1984 to 1991. While at Landmark, Barry was also the president of The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star (1976-78), as well as publisher (1985-90). In addition, he has held positions as president of Times-World Corp. in Roanoke and as a partner of Kaufman and Canoles, Attorneys at Law, in Norfolk.
Barry has a long history of being involved in the community. He currently serves as trustee and chairman of the finance committee for the Mariners' Museum, director of the Obici Healthcare Foundation and chairman of the Norfolk Historical Society's committee for planning and publishing biographies of important figures from Hampton Roads' post-WWII history. His past community involvement includes: trustee of the Chrysler Museum board, trustee and president of the Catholic High School Foundation, chairman of the advisory committee responsible for planning and publishing the history of Norfolk, trustee and chair of the Charter Endowment Campaign for Norfolk Academy, trustee and vice president of the University of Virginia's Colgate Darden Graduate Business School Foundation, and president and campaign chairman of the United Way of South Hampton Roads.
Barry's formal education includes a bachelor of arts degree from LaSalle University and a juris doctorate from the University of Virginia. He received an Honorary Alumni Certificate from Old Dominion University in 1990.
Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees will be awarded during the afternoon ceremony to Deborah DiCroce, president of Tidewater Community College, and Frank Reidy, president of McClees Associates.
Deborah M. DiCroce, a South Hampton Roads native and lifelong Virginian, has devoted her career to public service. A proven leader in forging partnerships for the public good, DiCroce has headed Tidewater Community College - the largest provider of undergraduate education in Hampton Roads - since May 1998. During her tenure, TCC has experienced 10 consecutive years of enrollment increases, serving nearly 39,000 credit students in 2007-08.
A strong advocate for education as the great equalizer, DiCroce has been especially heralded for her work in expanding the reach of higher education across workforce, gender, racial and cultural boundaries. Recognitions include the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Conference for Community and Justice Humanitarian Award, Women in Business Achievement Award from Inside Business and a Woman of Distinction award from the YWCA of South Hampton Roads. She was named Downtowner of the Year in 2005 by the Downtown Norfolk Council and Woman of the Year by the Virginia Women's Forum in 1993. Hampton Roads Magazine named DiCroce to its "A List of 50 Very Important People Shaping Life in Hampton Roads" in 2006.
DiCroce has served on statewide commissions and committees under five Virginia governors, including the Governor's Commission on Educational Opportunity for All Virginians, the Governor's Blue Ribbon Commission for Higher Education and the Governor's P-16 Council. She was vice chair of the Governor's Advocacy Council for Workforce 2000 and a past Trustee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1995, DiCroce was invited as one of 20 college and university presidents nationally to meet with President Bill Clinton at the White House for a discussion on higher education.
In other efforts, she served on the city of Norfolk's homeless commission; partnered with the Jewish Community Center in its annual film festivals; and marked the 50th anniversary of civil rights with a photographic mural of sit-ins at the former Woolworth's building, now a part of TCC's Norfolk campus. She also chaired the regional board of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce in 2006.
DiCroce holds bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Old Dominion University and a doctorate in Higher Education from The College of William and Mary. She has been recognized as a distinguished alumna of both institutions, as well as of Norfolk Catholic High School.
A resident of Virginia Beach since 1986, Frank Reidy is president of McClees Associates, LLC. Along with his partners, Reidy also started an oil and gas exploration and production business in Pennsylvania, which employs 100 people and operates 1,000 wells.

Ten years ago, Reidy began working with Karl Schoenbach, eminent scholar and professor in Old Dominion University's electrical and computer engineering department to establish the Research Center for Bioelectrics, which bears Reidy's name. He served on the board of Operation Smile from 1991 to 2000 and remains active with the organization today. He was a founding member of the Young Presidents Organization in Singapore, and he currently serves as a director of the Navy League of Hampton Roads.
Reidy is working on two books, "Ad-Venture Capital," which is an account of his business adventures, and "Peace and War," an autobiography recounting his journey from the Peace Corps to the Vietnam War.
Reidy graduated from Villanova University in 1963 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. He joined the Peace Corps and served in Bangladesh, building hurricane shelters on the coastal islands. For his work, he received a degree in Far East Studies from the University of Minnesota in 1965. His continuing education over the years has included business courses at the University of Maryland, Harvard University, the Kellogg School of Management and the Wharton School.

Saranac Lake, Lake Placid move on to semis
SARANAC LAKE — Grant Strack recorded a natural hat trick, scoring all three Saranac Lake goals in a 3-0 blanking of Northeastern Clinton in the Section VII boys' hockey quarterfinals Tuesday at the Saranac Lake Civic Center.
The first two occurred during a seven minute and 48-second span in the opening period, helping the Red Storm (7-8-4) jump out to a 2-0 lead.
High School Sports Magazine
"We came out with a really good game plan," Saranac Lake coach Will Ellsworth said. "In the playoffs, our goal is to score the all-important first goal. Fortunately, we had two in the first eight minutes of the game."
The contest, however, remained 2-0 for the next 29:17 of play before Strack struck again.
Junior defenseman Blake Battistoni ripped a shot from the point, which was initially saved by Cougars (7-11-1) goalie Cody Young, but Strack was there to scoop up the loose puck.
Strack and linemates Christian Thomas and Chris Spicer totaled six points on the night.
"They've been playing together the last three games," Ellsworth said. "(Spicer) works extremely hard and adds that element of grittiness, while (Strack) and (Thomas) are more finesse. They're gelling right now and are finding each other on the ice."
Junior goaltender Blake Darrah, who missed six games during the regular season with a concussion, grabbed his first shutout of the year.
"Northeastern Clinton had many opportunities in the first period," Ellsworth said. "After we got up 2-0, they played very aggressive. We played maintenance hockey and changed our forecheck at times.
"(Darrah) made some key stops to keep us in there. He has really come into his own as of late. His experience from last year's state semifinal run is paying off."
Saranac Lake finished with a 25-22 advantage in shots on goal. Young, a senior, accumulated 22 saves.
The Red Storm, who tied Beekmantown 1-1 last Saturday, will battle the No. 9-ranked Eagles (16-3-1) in the semifinals at the Ameri-Can North Sports Center Thursday.
The puck is scheduled to drop for 7 p.m.
"I think right now, we have to play simple playoff hockey," Ellsworth said. "Playoff hockey is simple hockey. When you go up against a Beekmantown team with an explosive group of forwards, we need to limit its chances. I think that's why we were successful when we tied them 1-1."

Lake Placid 5, Saranac 1
LAKE PLACID — The No. 11-ranked Blue Bombers (15-4-2) jumped out to a three-goal first-period lead and never looked back en route to a 5-1 victory over the Chiefs.
Ryan Damp, Shane McNierney and Nzoni Thompson all collected tallies in the first 10 minutes of the opening stanza.
"We thought we had a strong first period," Lake Placid coach Keith Clark said. "It was one of those games where goal scoring indicated what the play was like. We had a lot of shots on a number of second-chance opportunities."
The Chiefs (3-15-2), however, responded for their lone marker in the middle period when senior forward Jeremy Barber collected his fourth goal of the year, cutting the differential to two.
Kyle Erickson and Jacob Lilledahl earned assists on the play.
"Saranac responded and had a solid (second) period," Clark said. "They took some momentum away from us and their goalie made some nice saves to keep them in the hockey game."
The Blue Bombers reestablished themselves, adding two more on the board when R.J. Reid made it 4-1 with 5:24 elapsed in the third period.
Then, Elias Smith registered his second goal in the last two games, putting the icing on the cake with 1:25 remaining in regulation.
Jeffrey Smith was credited with the win between the pipes, recording 18 saves on 19 shots faced. Zach Lareau concluded his senior season at Saranac with a 48-save performance.
"Saranac had some real good chances in the second, but (Smith) stood tall," Clark said. "He made some key saves when we needed them most. It was a two-goal game for a while, and he gave us a chance to win. Our goal scoring was spread out, which was nice as well."
Ryan Meyer finished with three assists on the night, while Ryan Damp and Nzoni Thompson collected a goal and an assist, respectively.
Third-seeded Lake Placid will take on second-seeded and No. 15-ranked Plattsburgh High Friday at the Ameri-Can North Sports Center for 7 p.m.
The two teams split the regular season at one game apiece with the Blue Bombers knocking off the Hornets 1-0 last Friday.
"We had some up-and-down battles with (Plattsburgh High) this season," Clark said. "Every game is its own little season. You're only as good as that next game. We split, and it should be a good challenge on Friday night."

Prince Fielder has stepped in now, batting for the American League after batting for the National League in 2011. Last year, the Derby finals came down to a pair of American Leaguers, and a major reason why Fielder signed with the Tigers as a free agent was because he wanted to be on the winning side of one of these things for a change. The Marlins simply never had a chance.
Fielder hit a home run into one of the fountains, which is a long distance away and which also polluted the water with a baseball. Buster Olney immediately interviewed Justin Verlander on the sidelines, and Verlander remarked that he gets to see Fielder and Miguel Cabrera play "home run derby every day" in batting practice. Well gosh sorry that you're not impressed Mr. I'm Impossible To Impress. Fielder and Cabrera get to see you play all the time too, I bet they're over it. "Oh wow another 100 mile-per-hour fastball, way to jazz it up." Isn't it just the lamest thing when incredible players are consistently incredible? No wonder Kate Upton won't get with Justin Verlander. He sees something amazing once and the second time he's like "ehh".
Oh crap Fielder hit five(?) home runs and now Matt Kemp is already almost finished being terrible. I don't know why they even invite Matt Kemp to Home Run Derbies or anything. After this miserable performance Kemp should probably stop being invited to anything. I guess they could invite him to prison for the crime of making us watch him suck.

A Long Island man is accused of shooting his girlfriend Monday night because of an argument over wether a fictional TV show could become reality.
The show in question is AMC's The Walking Dead, based on the comic book series of the same name, in which flesh-eating zombies roam a post-apocalyptic world.
Nassau County police say that Jared Gurman, 26, of Williston Park had been having a heated argument over the show.
Det. Lt. Ray Cote said, "He feels strongly that some military mishap could happen, causing some tragic consequence. She felt it was ridiculous."
Police say the argument got so heated that the unnamed victim decided that she didn't want to spend the night at his apartment.
"He didn't want to let it go and continued a text dialogue that got even more angry and bitter," Cote said.
The 26-year-old woman became concerned that he might be going "over the edge" and returned to his apartment even though he said he didn't want her there.
Police say he met her in the yard carrying a .22 caliber rifle.
At some point, the gun discharged and hit her in the back. Police say the woman suffered a pierced lung, a pierced diaphragm, and a shattered back.
Police say the victim pleaded with Gurman and he drove her to North Shore/Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park.
Police say the doctors had problems containing the bleeding and she was transferred to another hospital, where she is now listed in serious but stable condition.
Gurman was arrested at the hospital. He was being held without bail after being arraigned on attempted murder charges in Hempstead.

Swimming pools can be the source of many diseases and injuries, such as Giardia, Cryptosporidia, and E. coli as well as slips, falls, and accidental entrapment. The purpose of the Department of Environmental Health Food and Housing Division (FHD) Pool program is to assure that all public swimming pools and spas are maintained in a safe and healthful condition. In light of these considerations, the proper construction, maintenance, and operation of public swimming pools and spas is of significant public health importance.
FHD has approximately 4,000 public pools and spas under permit, including those located in apartments, hotels, parks, health clubs, bathhouses, and other health-regulated recreational establishments. These pools are inspected by environmental health specialists to identify problems, list violations of the CA Health and Safety Code, and provide written notification of necessary corrections. Click here to watch a San Diego County Swimming Pool Inspection Walk-through.
In addition to inspections, FHD partners with the pool industry and other organizations to sponsor educational opportunities and provide other resources. Every other spring, FHD co-sponsors a one-day pool seminar for the pool industry to provide ongoing education. FHD is partnered with the community-based Drowning Prevention Foundation to raise awareness about ways to prevent drownings. A short public service announcement called "Watching Amy" highlights the importance of adequate pool supervision and layers of protection in preventing childhood drownings. Each May, FHD participates in Recreational Water Illness Prevention Week, in association with the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), to educate the public about the spread of recreational water illnesses. "Keeping It Clean", a County Television Network video, showcases our pool inspection program. Be sure to watch this video, "Checking Public Pools for Safer Drains", to learn more about the new state law, AB 1020, which requires public pool operators to install anti-entrapment drain covers and safety systems.
The Swimming Pool Operator Guide provides specific information to assist the layman in the proper maintenance and operation of pool and spas. This and other valuable swimming pool and spa related information is provided on our Pool Publications page.

Phil is now in Riddle University contemplating his escape. Little does he know there's more than meets the eye to the school he applied to.
It's been a while since the third one. Since then, I've had quite a few requests for a fourth game. I was skeptical at first, but I feel like this game has something none of the other games in the series do. No walkthrough has been made yet but I have a feeling everyone will be able to figure it out.
A new feature: If you beat the game once, you can earn SPECIAL FEATURES in the main menu.

This game was released on April 1st.
Thanks to Goat-Man for converting my (now obsolete) 46x46 preview image into a .gif file!
why's it rated ''T''?
Mostly because the credits are covered in blood splatter, but also because this might be considered scary to younger audiences.
Wait...What just happened...Probably really late since this game came out a few years ago...
XD yay 0.0 seconds lol and i love it
well 1.5 stars but i just wanted to say you know in riddle school 3 where you beat it 2 times in a row it scares me "You have been possesed by monkey doll" why the hell did you make that?
I thought it'd be fun. I enjoy weird secrets in games, and that one is a parody of the "Tails Doll Curse".

By Times Staff
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — At least two houses on Salt Island Road have sustained significant storm and water damage. The seawall at Lanes Cove has once again been heavily damaged in the aftermath of winter storm Nemo.
In the meantime city officials are emphasizing that people should still remain home and remain off the roads as cleanups from the storm continue.
In other storm updates.
- The state wide travel, declared by Governor Deval Patrick, remains in effect until 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
-The City of Gloucester's parking ban is still in effect and is likely to remain so into Sunday night.
- The MBTA has not resumed service and officials say services may not resume until Monday morning, although that has not been confirmed.
The storm has dumped anywhere form 18-20 inches of snow across Cape Ann and the National Weather Services blizzard advisory warning expired at 1:00 p.m.
Here is the full update as released Saturday by Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello.
The snow came down so quickly and heavily creating poor visibility that stalled the snow plowing operation. Please be patient, Public Works is aware of the side streets that are impassible and is working very hard to catch up with plowing efforts. Please be aware that it will take the better part of this weekend to get the roads opened up let alone cleaned up. To help speed this process please abide by the driving ban and stay off the roads. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and necessary.
Storm Update from Point of Information Officer (PIO):
The Mayors Office, Police, Fire, Ems and DPW have been working diligently throughout the night to stay on top of this storm. A storm of this magnitude of course creates widespread issues that must be approached slowly and methodically. Overnight, we experienced several power outages which were address by NationalGrid in a prioritized manner. We also responded to several calls for stranded motorists, despite the Governors ban on driving. At this time, the ban is STILL IN EFFECT. The City parking ban is also STILL IN EFFECT. PLEASE stay indoors and do not drive. Not only is driving at this point putting people in danger, but it is limiting the resources available from public safety to deal with emergencies. We are also urging, at the highest level, that people stay away from the shoreline, especially the backshore, which as of 9am today has been closed until high tide recedes. There is significant splash-over that is spilling large debris in the roadway. The footbridge is likely at risk as well. An area of seawall at Lanes Cove has also been destroyed and significant property damage is being reported on Salt Island Road. As such, I reiterate that the storm is still ongoing, still dangerous, and it is important to stay inside and off the roadways. The storm will continue today and may worsen in terms of wind and additional snowfall toward the tail end, causing further issues for Public Safety response. DPW will be continuouslyplowing and getting to the streets that are impassable.
As I mentioned yesterday, while the snow will abate today, the storm will continue to cause issues well into Sunday and Monday with clean-up efforts. Cooperation from the residents of Gloucester is essential for the quickest and safest possible return to normal operation and driving.
The EOC remains in operation until further notice at Addison Gilbert Hospital and will have a representative from each public safety sector to insure we have no interruptions in communications and to properly record the storm and our responses for State analysis.
If you experience a power outage, call National Grid directly at 800-465-1212. If it is an emergency such as an arcing wire or a tree on wires, please call the Police Department directly and we will attempt to expedite response. In addition, helpful information can be found at www.ready.gov/winter-weather. Additionally, please remember to check your venting for natural gas and oil outside your homes as these can cause issues if covered by snow. Make sure carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors are working properly inside your home.
Again, on behalf of Mayor Kirk and all of us, thank you all for your cooperative spirit during this storm. Please do not anticipate its ending until advised by the City and stay safe during the clean-up process.
We will look to provide further updates over the weekend, for full coverage look to Monday's Gloucester Daily.

Snow Trekking Teletubbies Coloring Pages
Here they come just trekking through the snow for you. They are following each other's footprints in the snow. Teletubbies have been some parent's choice of programming for babies and toddlers for over 10 years. The adult-sized characters have baby and toddler physical features. The bright colors and repetitive activities will hold the young one's attention span. They all interact in a outdoor grassy area running around and rolling on the ground laughing. All of these are activities typical of the age group. Their tummys have television screens that periodically show footage of live kids playing. These Telebubbies Coloring Book Pages are also age appropriate with simple and clear lines. These character coloring pages are easily recognized by you and your kids. Added bonus, they are free printable coloring pages.

Once in a while, our Indiana legislators blunder their way into legislation that not only helps Hoosiers but also gives Republicans and Democrats an opportunity to agree with each other! Those things are hard to find in our present political climate, where nonsense frequently outweighs common sense. However, when they do appear, we can usually depend on our lawmakers to tinker with them and totally screw them up!
The Twenty-first Century Scholars program is a good example. It was a great idea when it started back in 1990. Offering a full college scholarship to economically disadvantaged middle school students who earned good grades, behaved themselves, and didn't abuse drugs was a huge step forward in our quest for equal opportunity, economic prosperity and social justice for all Hoosiers.
This program worked well for two decades. Then it began to cost too much, according to our dollar-conscious lawmakers. So they changed it. New participants will need better grades to get into the program and stay there. Also, they may only receive one-time grants or partial scholarships if their family incomes increase or if future legislatures don't fully fund the program.
It's entirely possible that future Indiana legislatures will be unwilling or unable to find enough money to completely pay for the program. On July 4, CNHI correspondent Maureen Hayden reported the annual cost had doubled in just four years to $46.5 million. The state paid that by transferring money from other scholarship funds designed to help low-income families. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul!
Although the cost factor is a very serious consideration, the recent changes in the Twenty-first Century Scholars program are poorly timed and unwise. They are poorly timed because they limit training opportunities in a period of lingering unemployment. Yes, the job outlook is improving, but very slowly. The changes are also unwise because our youth need more training for 21st century jobs, not less. If they can't get it here, they must seek it in other states.
When young Hoosiers leave Indiana for training, prospective employers will follow. They need a well-educated, highly skilled work force. They must find workers who can fill today's jobs and also learn what they need to know for tomorrow's jobs. If Indiana can't provide such workers, new employers will not come here, and current employers will relocate.
The Twenty-first Century Scholars program is crucial to an especially vulnerable part of our youth. They struggle with economic challenges every day. Although they are eligible for Pell grants and student loans, many of them do not see a college degree as a realistic possibility. They may still need to work at part- or full-time jobs to help their families. Without a good education, their futures look bleak. They may be headed for a life of financial insecurity and permanent unemployment.
Critics of this program are quick to point out that most of the participants need more than four years to earn a college degree, and many do not do it in six years. So what? I know some very successful college graduates who needed more than six years to graduate. Even those who never finish can learn things that help them get good jobs and advance to better ones.
In the real-world economy, what you can actually do is ultimately more important than how long it took you to learn it. A few years ago, I did some admissions work for a well-respected junior college. My job was to talk to high school seniors about the opportunities the college offered. Most of those opportunities were technological. The demand was so great many students left to accept very good job offers before finishing their degrees. Who could call those students failures merely because they lacked a piece of paper?
Frankly, I do not envy the legislators who must decide how to continue the Twenty-first Century Scholars program. The need for it is immense, but so is the cost, and both are increasing. I don't really know how to respond to this dilemma. As a school administrator, deciding how much money to give the students and the schools was never my responsibility. My job was deciding how to use the money that was provided.
I understand our legislators must make choices. Some of the choices aren't easy. I just hope those choices do not prevent our economically disadvantaged kids from getting 21st century job skills.

Author David Graeber talks about capitalism, solidarity, and the war on the imagination
David Graeber is renowned among occupiers and idealists as an intellectual founder, or anti-leader as it were, of the Occupy Wall Street encampment that sprung up in Zucotti Park in the fall of 2011. He's an organizer, an anarchist, a professor of anthropology and sociology at Goldsmiths University of London, a former instructor at Yale, and the author of several books, including Debt: The First 5,000 Years, a tome tracing the concept of debt back to the roots of Western civilization.
His latest book, The Democracy Project: A History, a Crisis, a Movement (Spiegel & Grau, 2013), chronicles the rise of Occupy, a leaderless economic justice movement Graeber unapologetically characterizes as a success. In honor of International Workers Day, May 1, the Bay Guardian caught up with him over coffee to talk about economic pressures facing today's workers, particularly the young and marginalized.
Turns out, it's not a pretty picture out there — but at least Graeber, who has a propensity to collapse into giggles between full throttle ruminations on the absurdity of global economic policy, has a sense of humor about it.
Below are some excerpts.
San Francisco Bay Guardian: Looking at the Occupy movement, the mainstream narrative seems to be that it was a short-lived, failed experiment and now it's over. But in your book, you ask the question 'why did it work?'
David Graeber: Let's put it this way. When was the last time that the issue of social class was put at the center of American politics? Probably the 1930s. Social movements have been desperately trying to do this for 50, 60, 70 years and gotten nowhere. We managed to do it in three months. Um, that's pretty impressive. ... And I'm pretty sure that if it weren't for us, we'd have a President Romney right now. That whole 47 percent thing? It would not have resonated had it not been for the 99 percent thing.
SFBG: Why do you think the idea of wealth inequality, of all issues, resonated so much?
DG: I think because there's a basic change in the way capitalism works in America. It's been going for some time, but it just became unmistakably apparent after 2008. People talk about the "financialization" of capitalism, and it sounds very abstract. Casino capitalism, speculation, they're playing these games, they're making money appear out of thin air, which is not entirely untrue. ... It's based on getting everybody into debt. The profits of Wall Street are — they now say a very small percentage is actually based on commerce — it's now based on finance. But what does 'based on finance' actually mean? It means they go into your bank account and take your money.
Interviewee David Graeber says he resides in UK most of the time and that austerity, understood, Neoliberalism, forces "Whitehall" to "prioritize the political advantage." This, in contrast to the US Congress, which prioritizes the "economic advantage."
Economics, relational arts and not pure science, are social tools that prescribe methods to achieve orderly investment, productivity, trade, staffing, maintenance and distribution in a complex human systems comprised of a particular political capital. Since globalized neoliberalism falls outside the pale of "a political capital" not only is it not 'an economic ideology" it is an aberration mentored by the late Friedrich Hayak (then called classical liberalism) and Milton Friedman (neoliberalism). The human world should hope that this monster self-destructs soon or becomes able to abort it.
Gobbledygook much?
while post modernism is a good way to look at the world?
Wow, did Graeber pay you to make that comment ? He points out how ridiculous the "only alternatives" arguments are, so you offer us neo-liberalism and post modernism as the only alternatives.
@Matlock: I only intend to admonish others of what I believe is the destructive nature of neoliberal capitalism that began as a callous social experiment and venture in the 1980s destroying the lives of many in developing countries (Brazil, Paraguay, Poland etc.) that were types of social democracies. Infiltration, subversion, (I know this word is suspect in our 21st Century, but it is relevant), co-optation, economic shocks, expropriation of land resources via 1) government realignment, 2) privatization and 3) deregulation, to over-simplify, yielded financial bounty to rent-seeking capitalists at the expense of mass devastation to others. A more recent example might be the corn ethanol trade-offs in Guatemala that cause hardship to many who rely on corn as a daily staple as ethanol is grown on valuable land and exported for profits and growth expectations—not development ad infinitum.
Occupy had it's 15 minutes of fame, and then fizzled out as soon as winter arrived.
No stamina, today's revolutionaries.

Really I think most people want to make money, enough to live on, retire and not to worry about being homeless. We have a drive to work, we have a drive to get better not everyone wants to be on welfare, food stamps or live in substandard housing.
We aren't producing jobs that are really honest work, you can't even afford a home in the bay area, starting a business here is a joke. The property taxes won't kill you, it is what you pay for and then pay taxes on the sale price. 1.3 million dollars for a 900 square foot home, the only people that can afford that are the educated class.
I am for national healthcare, for SSI, for food programs, senior programs, for helping people out, job training, taxes breaks to bring work, real WORK. Not what the Repubs are pushing, for open space, clean air and water. The stock market, the smart middle class investors, the working poor to get ahead in life. Rewards for honest work, good citizens, good family units, even if the family unit is a same sex couple with no kids.
because every home for sale gets quickly sold, and each vacant rental gets filled.
What you are really saying is that YOU cannot afford the average Bay Area home and, while that might be true, that is your problem and not ours.
The problem is systemic and promoted by those who are of a similar mind-set that your comment suggests. Countries are built by those deceived by it and there are many of us who are the "unsung heroes," such as Garrett.
The simple fact is that lots of people can afford SF homes. If that were not the case, many of them would be vacant and probably no more would be being built. Neither of those are true, ergo, SF homes are affordable. Just not be you.
1. "Lots of people can afford SF homes,"
2. Guest can afford an SF home,
3. Guest is "lots of people."
My best attempt at "refutation." I'm not a rhetorician, but this is a syllogism.
Hardly any, right?
So obviously they are affordable, because people afford them.
There are many vacancies, but most are not affordable. I think it relevant to note that the stats are provided by the industry and industry speculators, meaning that the industry can manipulate the numbers as they choose.
It's typically reckoned to be about 1%. Can you show otherwise? Or are you just blowing hot air?
Every home around where i live is clearly occupied. Meaning that lots of people can afford SF, even if you cannot.
Looking out your window into your upper middle class neighborhood is a ridiculous method for determining vacancies.
Here's an article I found in less than 60 seconds in a web search, which shows that there are an outrageous 30,000 home vacancies in San Francisco; this according to the U.S. Census.
It is unacceptable that speculators are holding tens of thousands of units off the market in order to drive up housing prices by artificially limiting supply, and thereby pricing hundreds of thousands of middle and lower class San Franciscans out of an affordable place to live.
It is unacceptable that only 'lots of people' can afford a home in San Francisco. Everyone, should be able to afford their own home.
responding to it for fear of being discovered.
Many of the homes held vacant in SF are because of rent control. Owners would rather leave a home empty than risk tangling with tenants who may never leave and who may prove impossible to evict.
So it is progressive policies that lead to vacant homes.
There is no evidence that anyone leaves a place vacant for years just to enjoy the price inflation. More likel they just parcel the place up as TIC's and sell them.
Vacancy rate is extremely low in Sf nonetheless. Places like Houston have vacancy rates of 10% to 20%. Not here, not a chance.

In a city with at least 300,000 homes, that is about 3% - perfectly acceptable.
Perhaps a more significant figure is the estimated 40,000 illegal units in SF that are used as a home. If all illegal units were demolished and every currently vacant unit was filled, the housing situation would be much worse.

The census number seems much too high. There are certainly no vacant residential buildings near me (94114) although there are a few commercial units.
which are created under the current schema.
So many professions are based on scamming value from others or the environment; getting away with theft as opposed to actually creating value.
Examples of this are in much of the insurance industry, securities traders, advertising, energy sectors. Most of this "work" represents a net cost to human society and rates below that of telephone psychics in its import.
Humanity needs to figure out how to have a functional planned economy because the current situation has us spiraling down the drain.
The dramatic upsurge in the suicide rate among baby boomers in this country is a testament to how disfunctional our economy is. Even this reported rate is far below the true rate since most cases are not included in the statistics, but it's currently at 3 in 10,000 for boomer men each year and exceeds deaths from car accidents for the population at large for the first time ever.
Either adopt and accept it, or become doomed to irrelevance.
And luckily for the rest of us, these new jobs pay better.
Enjoy your wealth while you can. An unexpected game-changer is forthcoming.
And if you could foretell the future, you'd be rich, and you're not.
Any savvy market participant can make money out of down markets, so why fear them?
Markets are manipulated and insider trading is (intended). One would realize more profit by playing a one-hand game of Blackjack than risking a lifetime of wages in Wall Street's ponzi.
Evidently you do not, and so deem it a lottery, when in fact it is laregly predictable, but only by a few.
@Guest: You underestimate the complexity of human contingencies on which that casino, Wall Street operates. I hope your glibness does not cause you ruin.
Seems you merely fear them, because you do not.

Everyone should just get elgg and build their own social site at home. It isn't that hard. Then no more security or privacy problems. Your server your site. That is what the internet was supposed to be anyway. When it was originally invented. Long before Gore fouled it up.
I think that every person has the power to choose his destiny, so that if he wants better life he can have it. The negative processes described in the book cannot be stopped. But they can be neglected by not participating in the movement. That is the way out.
The debt has always been an important issue to solve. Starting from the beginning of ages it has always been actual.

Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen is keeping a travelogue for the Observer on his experiences and observations from his first Pro Bowl trip.
Last night, the league threw a fantastic luau for all the players and coaches. We had fantastic food, hula dancing, tribal warrior dancing and fireworks. I was happy to have Brad Nortman and his fiancée Lexi join us for the evening. It was a special treat to celebrate our great season together here in Hawaii. I think he particularly enjoyed the smiley-faced fireworks shot off during the finale. He's the biggest kid on the team.
Today, we woke up early to take our team photos. We also got our first look at our Pro Bowl jerseys. There's no doubt Phil Knight's love for Oregon inspired the neon orange and green jerseys. Jonathan Stewart and Kenjon Barner would be proud!
We also had our second practice of the week at a local high school field. Both teams practiced at the same time with lots of family and friends on hand to support us. I also couldn't help but notice certain Panther coaches keeping an extra eye or two on our practice. You can tell they're scared already!
So long for now, JJ
P.S. Just wanted to give a special shout out to our DC Sean McDermott. He's been my diary's biggest fan and critic. Always something to coach up!

I have installed NDS for MMS v1.1 along with several SDKs with no installation problems (with jre 1.4.1_02) - all installed in the default locations.
When I start NDS for MMS v1.1, it puts up a dialog box saying:
"Connecting to phone SDKs, please wait..."
It doesn't find the SDKs - even if I leave it for several minutes
This happens if I start NDS for MMS with emulators running or not.
Can anyone help?
How does NDS for MMS find the emulators? Via the registry or by scanning directories?

Water sourcesImported water accounts for 36% of participating agencies' water supplies. Other water supplies mentioned by respondents typically include agricultural surface water.

Even during periods of flooding, local public agencies must maintain stormwater flows in Miners Ravine, a designated salmon habitat, rather than divert it for possible consumptive uses. Though this is not the best-case scenario for communities with a water shortage, California does not have sufficient available storage to capture storm runoff.
In 2002, Hollywood, Fla., won in recognition of its well-maintained business district.
The Utah DOT used prefabricated concrete panels to replace the deck on its I-80 bridge.
Boston's redesigned Mission Hill Playground—which won an award from the Boston Society of Landscape Architects—includes handicap-accessible equipment, a basketball court, and a spray pool.
The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has published "Utilities Helping Utilities: An Action Plan for Mutual Aid and Assistance Networks for Water and Wastewater Utilities." The literature is designed to help water suppliers in creating networks to foster rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support after a disaster occurs. The document originated out of a joint policy statement by the AWWA, Association of State Drinking Water Agencies, Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution Control Administrators, the National Rural Water Association, and the Water Environment Federation. For more information or to obtain a copy, visit www.awwa.org.
The state of Florida will receive $480 million to fund replacement of traffic signals, clearing highway debris, and repairing roads in 21 counties affected by Hurricanes Wilma and Katrina. High winds from the hurricanes caused damage to more than 2000 signals in Broward and Palm Beach Counties alone. The funds are part of an emergency highway aid package for Gulf Coast states requested by President Bush and approved by Congress at the end of 2005.
According to analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America, the cost of highway and street construction increased considerably from 2001 to 2005; factors contributing to the surge include rising asphalt and diesel fuel costs. In addition, concrete prices have increased dramatically, surging an average of 14.5% each year, and 3.5% in the last three months alone. However, labor costs are expected to stay relatively flat, and overall road construction costs experienced a slight decline—2.2%—from October 2005 to January 2006. The chart at right indicates how highway and street construction prices changed over the course of each year. Source: AGC
Each year, the Professional Grounds Management Society bestows its Green Star Awards upon excellently maintained grounds across the country. Entrants can choose from 15 categories, including public works sites; government buildings or complexes; parks, recreation areas, or playgrounds; and others. Only one Grand Award will be given; judges are free to grant as many Honor Awards as they see fit. Recent public works winners include the Hollywood, Fla., business district, and Chicago's central business district.
The deadline for this year's awards entries is Aug. 4. For more information or to obtain an entry form, visit www.pgms.org/greenstarawards.htm.
According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) prefabricated bridges can offer faster and safer construction, better bridge quality, and lower costs than conventionally built bridges. The Utah DOT (UDOT) is putting that to the test.
After a technology presentation at the Transportation Research Board's 2001 annual meeting, UDOT decided to use prefabricated technology of a rural section of Interstate 80 near Coalville, and on Interstate 215 in Salt Lake City. The I-80 project was a rapid deck replacement, and the I-215 project involved deck replacement on one bridge, and entire replacement of another bridge structure.
According to UDOT project development director Jim McMinimee, the I-80 deck replacement wrapped up in a week—less than 25% of the original estimate of 30 days. "The project on I-215 was also completed quicker, with improved quality and less disruption to traffic," he said.
The FHWA offers Framework for Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems Decision-Making, a guidebook designed to help transportation departments weigh the possibility of using prefabrication on their projects. For more information or to obtain a copy, visit www.fhwa.dot.gov.

Tamoxifen has been used for several years as adjuvant therapy for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Tamoxifen was introduced already in the 1970s and reduces the risk of breast cancer recurrence with approximately 30%. Recent studies also indicate that use of Tamoxifen as primary prevention for healthy women at high risk reduce breast cancer incidence.
Despite the remarkable risk reduction in preventive studies, primary preventive strategies are scarcely part of clinical routine. There are several possible reasons for the reluctance. The major one being that the side effects of these therapies are not trivial. Serious side effects could only be acceptable for those that benefit from therapy, that is, there is a need of identifying women at high risk.
Also, there is not a consensus on dose needed in the preventive setting. So far only full therapeutic dose has been tested and no attempts have been made to determine if lower doses prevent women from being diagnosed with breast cancer.
As a first step toward a larger prospective study the Karma group are now planning to launch a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial to investigate the mammographic density reduction at different doses of Tamoxifen.
Our aim is to identify an optimal Tamoxifen dose for reducing risk of breast cancer. Mammographic density reduction will be used as a proxy for therapy response and thereby indirectly incidence.
The clinical trial is in planning phase and will be launched during 2015

ATLANTA (WDRB) -- Destiny is fine. Depth is even better. The University of Louisville men's basketball team will face Michigan in Monday's NCAA championship game because of a guy who almost left, a guy who has to work just to lift his arm above his shoulder, and a guy who pays his own way.
Rick Pitino, who has a habit of naming horses after memorable players, is going to have to buy a whole herd. Luke Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points, the first time anyone has done that in a national semifinal since Kentucky's Jack Givens in 1975. Walk-on Tim Henderson came off the bench to score six, twice as many as he scored the entire Big East season. And Stephan Van Treese came on for starter Gorgui Dieng and did the dirty work in a game that required plenty of it.
Add a big-time second-half performance by Chane Behanan and Russ Smith's usual 20-something and you have a 72-68 come-from-behind victory over Wichita State that sends the Cardinals into the title game for the third time in school history.
"Four of our starters had their worst night of the season," said Pitino, who will coach in the title game for a third time after being announced in the 2013 Basketball Hall of Fame class that same day. "We had to win this with our second unit."
Destiny is good. Depth is even better.
For the first time this season, doubt crept in.
One game away from playing for a national championship, it was, as point guard Peyton Siva said, "Just one of those nights, to be honest. Nothing was going right."
Wichita State was tough and tenacious. It made 4 of its first 5 second-half shots and opened a 12-point lead. It had answered every Cardinal bid to close the gap. The word spread. Louisville was in trouble. At halftime, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall urged his players to pile more pressure on the heavily favored Cardinals. "The noose will tighten," he told them.
And it was tightening. It was so bad, Kevin Ware, he of the broken leg fame, hobbled up onto the raised court during the second television timeout of the half to try to "get the guys going."
"It was the first time this year I actually thought that, 'These guys could beat us,'" junior forward Stephan Van Treese said.
"Thoughts went through my head," Chane Behanan said. "Saying like, 'Oh, snap.' I even had a reality check like, 'Oh my God.' I've never seen us play that terrible."
On the bench, Van Treese and Henderson were talking. "(Henderson) told me, 'We might not make it to a Final Four again. Somebody needs to step up and do something.' Turned out, he was the guy."
Henderson entered the game with 13:15 left. Within one minute, his life would change. He buried a three at the 13:00 mark, then another with 12:18 left, cutting the Wichita State lead in half, and supplying the jolt the Cardinals needed against the Shockers.
In the postgame locker room, while Henderson was being mobbed by media, his teammates all said they knew he could do it, that they'd seen him shoot it well in practice. Pitino wasn't quite as sure.
"He got the ball there on the wing and I said, 'Knock it down, Tim,'" Pitino said. "And then I just thought to myself, 'What am I saying?'"
"He's set, now," Siva said of Henderson. "He's a hometown hero now."
"Tim's my man," Hancock said. "I am so happy for him."
Nobody would've been happy without Hancock. He put his signature on a U of L season for the books with his leadership and scoring in the second half. Hancock played three positions, spending time at small forward, shooting guard and even handling the point a few times.
When the Cards could not buy a basket early, Hancock and Montrezl Harrell came in to get them going. When they needed baskets late, Hancock was there, hitting a big three with 2:06 left to put U of L up five, then driving for a layup in traffic with 1:16 left to help them keep the lead.With nine seconds left, Hancock went to the line. U of L led 70-68. On the sidelines, Ware didn't watch. He covered his face with his jersey. But he was doing something else.
"I was praying," Ware said. "Luke prayed for me (when he was suffering with his broken leg against Duke), I prayed for him. I kept on praying. They tapped me on the shoulder to tell me he made the first one, I didn't stop. I kept praying. And when I finally finished and said, 'Amen,' I looked up, and Luke was getting a tie-up."
Hancock missed the second of those free-throws, but with the Cardinals up three he managed to tie up Wichita State's Ron Baker to give the ball back to U of L on the possession arrow, and one more Russ Smith free throw sealed the win.
"Luke is a legend now," Behanan said. "A big one. To be honest, I never expected it out of him (early in the season), especially all the driving, all the balls in the air, flipping it up there, that's Peyton stuff."
Hancock, whose parents were in the stands, got a bit emotional about playing so well in front of them
"My dad's not doing too well right now," Hancock said. "For me, being able to do that might've been the best part of the whole night."
"That man, in the beginning of the year, took a half-hour of warmups just to lift his arm above his shoulder," Pitino said of Hancock, who has had surgery on both shoulders. ". . . Toughest kid I've ever seen. A remarkable young man."
Over the final 13 minutes, U of L scored 37 points. Despite forcing only 11 turnovers in the game, it still converted them into 17 points. For the second straight game, U of L had single-digit turnovers, and had only two in the entire second half. Russ Smith banged home enough threes to keep U of L in it in the first half. Peyton Siva found lanes to the basket late.
And after getting nothing in the turnover department for 35 minutes, the Cards got enough at the end to make their run.
The Cardinals won the game without a point from starting center Gorgui Dieng. It won despite an off shooting game from Siva (7 points, 1-9 shooting). It won despite going 20 minutes without forcing a Wichita State turnover.
Behanan, whose stats haven't been where anyone expected in recent weeks, finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, and demanded the ball at key points in the second half.
"He told me, if I get the ball, give it to him," Van Treese said. "He wanted it. That's the Chane everybody wants to see."Said Ware, of Behanan, "'Bout time he played."
Responded Behanan: "He's probably right."
On the bench, Pitino mixed positivity with urgency. Though in an early second half timeout, he had a question for his players: "Where are the guys who came back against Syracuse?"
His players' heads were down. They were frustrated. Shots weren't falling, and Wichita State defended the paint better than any team U of L has faced this season. Pitino kept coaxing.
"I kept telling them, this is how it was going to be," Pitino said. "I told them to go out and have fun, to compete. This was going to be a dogfight, and you have to win the fight."
After the game, Behanan said of his coach: "This is the most serious person I ever saw, for a round ball. Which is a great thing because it shows the passion he has for the game, the love for it. I don't think there are many out there like him. There is so much in his head, we can't contain it all. I'm going to tell you something, though. This whole season has been a good hectic."
This team won it, not with destiny, but with determination. It already is the winningest team in school history, with 34 victories. It won its 15th straight game, fourth-longest streak in school history.
Pitino becomes the fifth man to take two schools to the title game. In the stands, Denny Crum and Darrell Griffith smiled, relieved.
"When you can win a game at this level without playing your best, you've done something," Crum said.
It happened so quickly, the Cardinals spent so little time with the lead, that players said they hadn't really had time to absorb that they were going to play for a national championship.
"We just go hard," Behanan said. "We just find a way. We come together. We've been in just about every situation before."
Every situation, that is, but a national championship game. That will happen Monday night.
Since the Ware injury, U of L has become America's team. Pitino's current run is the stuff of dreams. Title game, Hall of Fame, his horse, Goldencents, even won the Santa Anita Derby to punch his ticket to the Kentucky Derby. It's easy to say that this is a team of destiny. That, however, discounts all the work that has gone into it.
Destiny is nice. Depth is even better.Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.
