The Occupy Harvard protest appears to be entering its second, more serious stage having amassed the support of over 100 faculty members and successfully derailing a Newt Gingrich visit to campus.
Gingrich has been catching a lot of flak lately for his ties to corporate America — even super lobbyist and felon Jack Abramoff is speaking out against Gingrich's "consulting" fees — and being called out on the issue during yet another Gingrich-plugging-Gingrich event won't help him change the dialogue. "Derailing" might be a too strong a word, though, given Gingrich's graceful recovery to the disruptive protest on Friday, but given the fact that Gingrich cancelled his planned book-signing event at the Harvard campus bookstore, the Coop, the Occupiers appear to have made their point. And they plan on making it a lot more often as A-listers visit the campus in the near future. Shortly after Gingrich arrived, Occupy protesters began chanting, “Mic check. Mic check!

Grayson '94, left, moderates a panel discussion with some of the United State's most prominent mayors. The group discussed issues that are currently affecting the cities which they lead. Occupy Harvard protesters interrupted a mayoral panel at the Institute of Politics on Wednesday evening, protesting perceived injustices at the Occupy Philadelphia camp. “You can’t evict an idea,” hecklers yelled at Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter. The protesters said they were upset at distortions in how Nutter presented the relocation of Occupy Philadelphia. “Mayor Michael Nutter made it clear by eviction action and his statements at the Forum that free speech in American cities has a curfew,” Maryam M. “Even after ordering a midnight police raid, one that used police on horses trampling people, he claimed that his forces acted with no violence and caused no injuries,” she wrote, referring to the only hospitalized protester, who sustained foot injuries.

Despite warnings from the University that they could lose their library privileges indefinitely if they continue to sleep in the library overnight, members of the Occupy Harvard movement remained in Lamont Café on Monday to protest announced staff reductions in Harvard libraries.
Protestors said Harvard University police officers handed out flyers outlining appropriate conduct for Lamont Library users on Monday afternoon. “Students, staff, faculty members, researchers, visitors, and other users who fail to comply with library rules and regulations are subject to revocation of library privileges, disciplinary action, and legal prosecution,” the flyer stated. “The protesters in the café will be expected to respect the restrictions placed on access to Lamont Library, including the rights of others to the quiet use of what is a central study space for our undergraduate students,” Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokesperson Jeff Neal said.

10-Year-Old Creates Fun 'Call Me Maybe' Parody With Harvard Educators. Seven months after a Harvard University pitcher uploaded a video of his teammates synchronously rocking out to "Call Me Maybe," the song is getting more Harvard love — this time from an administrator in the economics department and her 10-year-old son.
Emily Neill, the department's undergraduate program administrator, tells Mashable she recorded the footage of her Harvard colleagues over the past month-and-a-half during free time. "My son Noah is a huge pop connoisseur, and we had already enjoyed many of the 'Call Me Maybe' memes together," Neill explains. "I hatched the idea, but borrowed his (camera) to make it, and because I knew nothing about video editing, he volunteered to support the technical end of the project. " Noah spliced the footage together to create the parody, which hit YouTube on Thursday, in time for the economic department's holiday party.
What's Wrong With Economics? Samuelson 1973: “The spectre of the repetition of the depression of the 1930s has been reduced to a negligible probability”.
Lucas 2003: “Macroeconomics in this original sense has succeeded: its central problem of depression has been solved, for all practical purposes”. Both statements came shortly before the crises of the economic policy regimes they championed. Samuelson thought: we would have no more depressions because governments had the tools to prevent them. These tools were called Keynesian economics. Lucas 30 years later: we would have no more depressions because governments no longer used the Keynesian tools to prevent them.
Samuelson was hubristic about what governments could do; Lucas about what markets could do. Heretics welcome! Economics needs a new Reformation. In October 1517, an unknown Augustinian monk by the name of Martin Luther changed the world when he grabbed a hammer and nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg.
The Reformation started there. The tale of how the 95 theses were posted is almost certainly false. Luther never mentioned the incident and the first account of it didn’t surface until after his death. But it makes a better story than Luther writing a letter (which is what probably happened), and that’s why the economist Steve Keen, dressed in a monk’s habit and wielding a blow up hammer, could be found outside the London School of Economics last week.
