With a freshly-strung piano, and a
diverse repertoire combining classical
and Afro-American music, C. Edward
Thomas will be off to what promises
to be a fine performance at the College
gymnasium tonight.
Mr. Thomas is artist-in-residence at
Bethel, and is currently Assistant Director
of Creative Projects for KTCA-TV.
He is widely renown for his adroitness
as a musician, having recenitly appeared
as soloist with the Minnesota Orchestra
and the Detroit Symphony. He is also
the founder and executive director of
the Afro-American Music Opportunities
Association, which in its five years has
made solid advances in showcasing the
work of black composers in recordings
(Columbia series), concerts, and other
presenta tions.
C. Edward Thomas is not only a serious
and involved artist, but he .is .also
a great entertainer much at ease with
his audience. His concert will featUre
a varied program which includes the
works of Bach as well as the ragtime
of Scott Joplin (composer for what was
later to be the musical score for The
Sting). The classical section will include
"Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" by BachHess,
Chopin's Etudes, and a piece by
the Russian composer. Sergi Prokofiev.
The black composer section features
"Rags" by Scott Joplin, as well as a
sample of the music of R. Nathaniel
Dett and David Baker. One of the highlights
of the recital will be Mr. Thomas'
own improvised piece.
The concert will be held at eight o'clock
tonight. It is free and open to
the public, as part of an arrangement
made by the Dean's Office last year
in view of Mr. Thomas' status as artist-
Outreach hindered
The Christian Service office is an important and integral
part of the Bethel community. Directed by Lynnea
Peterson, Christian Service is involved in coordinating the
sending of gospel teams throughout the nation, and providing
students with an opportunity to serve as speakers,
teachers, and youth leaders throughout the Twin Cities and,
often, on a statewide basis.
Strangely enough, the Christian Service office is in dire
need of monetary assistance. This is not a new phenomenon;
Christian Service goes through annual financial
headaches, existing on the proverbial shoestring budget. A
key reason as to why rthese problems exist is that -Christian
Service does not have a designated budget within the
Bethel financial network. (A nominal amount is provided
for office expenses.) Christian Service gains its money, basically,
through church donations, love offerings, charity concerts,
and an occasional gift from the Situdent Association.
These monies are hardly enough to maintain the Christian
Service program at a respectable level.
At a school such as Bethel a strong Christian Service
program is vital for three reasons. First, it provides an essential
service for the s.tudents. It is a unique organ through
which students with a desire to be involved in Christian
outreach are provided with opportunities and guidance. Se,
cond, it provides an essential service for churches and
related Christian organizations. Christian Service is a contacit
through which these groups can secure assistance in
maintaining essential services. Third, Christian Service provides
an essential service for the college itelf. Although
it is not its primary objective, public relations is an important
by-product of student outreach, and this impact should not be
Christian Service performs a vital service for Bethel _
College. Thus, it seems to us that this program should
be supported by the college it serves, at least in much
greater part than is now true. To argue that Christian
Service must be self~supported is to accept the present state
in which the thankless labors of people such as "Priest
and the Scribes" are the financial basis for this program.

Student upse,t with Re'gent proposals
'Dear Sir:
After reading the editorial of October 17, "Student representa,
tion threatened," I am quite disillusioned with the
Regents' proposals set before the students. These proposals,
aimed at diminishing student representation, would have a
great effect on the student body. If these proposals are accepted,
rthe student voice will dwindle to a low whisper.
Without a student voice we would probably still have graduations
with the Seminary, and the girls would still have
hours. There are many examples that prove the students
do need to have a say in matters concerning us.
The first proposal, pertaining to inviting student representatives
to the meeting, is a joke! Let's not get the wool
pulled over our eyes. We have as much right to know what
is going on and have - a say in the matters as anyone
The second proposal, dealing with decreasing the representation
from two to one, is the major problem. I am
confident that our student body president can represent
us, but I feel a second person would add significant force
behind the student cause. The second representative would
also add greater insights to student views.
There have been several reasons for these proposals,

The masters of photography have always needed a
photographic system that would allow the full expression
of their creativity. Their choice since photography's
inf-ancy has been the view camera, for in spite
of the tremendous technological advances made in
the field of photograpny since Alfred Steiglitz start~d
taking pictures of the New York skyline through hiS
apartment window, no system has ever been developed
that can do the things a view camera is capable
of doing.
The Toyo View is designed to take full advantage of
the unique ,capabilities of large format photography.
Its only limitation is your own imagination.

but these have weaknesses. The excuse of the lack of funds
is terribly inadequate. The school doesn't pay for the transportation
of student tepresenJtatives; it is the Senate that
pays for this. And if the argument of Vancouver having only
one representative is .supposed to be impressive, it falls
quite short. There is a wide gap between the student populaJtion
of Bethel and Vancouver.
It this type of manipulative legislatioh is passed I can't
picture the students having much say in the future.

Haaland surrenders lecture time
Dear Sir:

Bethel admits new computer
by Dale E. Johnson
Contrary to public opinion, Bethe1's new computer does
not wear tennis shoes, as did the once popular Disney
Dave Perry, math professor at Bethel, explains, '~The
computer has about eight times as much core capacity as
the old computer system and has the ability to store programs
and data for future use."
The computer, located in AC238, cost Bethel $31,000
and included one printer terminal located next to the computer.
One-third of the cost was covered by the budget and
the rest has been paid for by gifts and grants.
The computer is constantly in use from 8 a.m. to 11
p.m. The record keeping area of the computer reveals that
between seven- and eight-ninths of total available time is
used by students.
Those regularly using the computer include 45 BASIC Programming
students, nine students in Numerical Analysis
(an advanced computer course), and 45 students who are
taking Statistics. Chemistry students use the computer for
statistical analysis and calculus students are also starting
to utilize it.
The Social Science Department will be using the new
computer for statistics. BUSiness majors are required to take
a programming course and will also be playing management
games on the computer.
The new computer has advantages over the previous computer
process. To continue the old ·process would have cost
Bethel $10,000 this year and the service would have been
inferior in many ways -to the new computer. It would have
had no mass storage, only one-eighth as much core capacity,
and would have offered only BASIC language. The
new computer offers Fortran IV and Macro languages in addition
to BASIC.
BASIC Language is a "time shared" language, which
means· that more than one program can be worked on at
a time. Fortran IV is a "scientific batch" language, which
means that only one program can be worked on at a time.
Both BASIC and Fortran IV are Algebraic languages, in that
they follow instructions written in English. Macro language,

"Magical" weeks are those times without which the year
would be incredibly dull. They are those weeks that, regardless
of one's age or circumstance in life, are special each
and every year. Take for instance, Christmas week. The
gift-giving and food-gorging, and the incredible spiritual
solemnity, all tinged with a trace of snow and the smell of
winter, make this time of the year enchanting. Also, we can
not leave out the last week of school. The imminent summer
break and the rowdiness of students, coupled with a pervasive
inability to study (or even concentrate on any academic
endeavor), combine Ito form a very special time
slot within every year.
At least for me, this past week has also been a "magical"
week. The uninitiate may ask, "Why?" It should
be obvious; it is time for that important piece of Americana,
the World Series. This time of the year is incredibly,
almost ludicrously, special for me. Now I like sports,
but I am not what one would classify as a "fanatic."
And yet, regardless of the tearps involved, regardless of the
level of my interest in baseball throughout the summer,
when it is World Series time I am struck with a huge dose of
baseball fever. I am not really sure of all the reasons
why I have this emotional attachment to the Series, but
one very important factor is the nostalgic value the Series
has for me. '
For instance, one of my earliest, clearest memories in
my life is that of a World Series. I was five years old
(the year being 1960), and I was sitting in our family
station wagon, licking an ice cream cone, listening to the
Series on the radio, and waiting for my dad to return
from the hardware store. It was an incredibly hot day for
October, and ice cream dripped down my arm as I concentrated
on the game between the Pirates and the Yankees.
For some unknown reason (probably the excitement in
the name) I was tenaciously rooting for the Pirates. When
a Pirate hit a ninth inning homerun to win the Series, I, in my
exuberance, dropped the already soggy cone all over my
pants. Yet, to this day, I can remember the child-like
ecstasy I felt at that time, because my Pirates had won.
And then, 1965. I was in fifth grade, and it was the
Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers playing. Because
during the summer I had played on a Little League
team named the Twins, I desperately wanted Minnesota
to win. And so, every day the Series was played, I wore
my Twins T-shirt to school. It smelled, it was filthy, and I
was proud as I could be - me and my Twins shirt.
Proud as I could be, until the day the Dodgers won the
Series. That day I ran home from school furiously, co~-batting
the tears in my eyes. And I doubt I wore thai
shirt again.
But don't think that this child-like love for the Series
ended there in the fifth grade. When I was a senior in
high school, the Oakland A's and the Cincinnati Rects were
playing in the Series. One of the games began during Sunday
morning church service, and I was desperate to hear
the game. And so, with my future bride and assorted friends
sitting next to me in the pew, I put a transistor radio in
my shirt pocket, ran an earplug cord up my arm (underneath
my shirt and sportcoat), and put the earplug into
my hand. Then I sat forward, and, holding my hand to my

Ro,v'ing reporter asks:
Do you go to Chapel - why or why not?
by Kathleen Asselin
"Why do you (don't you) attend Chapel and how would
you like to see Chapef changed?"
Bethel students responded to this question from a variety
of perspectives.
Peter Taylor, a junior, said, "It's a nice break in the day
to sit back and reflect on God, focus on other people in
the community, and have fellowship. I'm glad they're having
more convocations this year."
Peter continued, "I think Pastor Spickelmier is doing a
good job this year. Professor Meyer blessed me when ' he
gave his testimony; I'd like to hear more of' the faculty's
testimonies.' ,
Sunhe Baik, a freshman from Korea, said, "I go because
Chapel is service to God. However, all service isn't just
worship. I enjoy singing Christian songs and hearing the
speakers. I think it's important to have worship service in
Chapel at least twice a 'week, but not every day."
Senior Cedric Broughton answered, "I don't go to Chapel
because I work in the school at that time. I would go if
I could because it is interesting to see different things
presented and hear different people's viewpoints. Chapel
could use more variety, such as doing some drama - of
course I'm prejudiced in that area. I'd like to see strictly
"praise" Chapels, not just "sing and shares." The latter
have never been a good worship experience for me>'
Cedric stated one of his pet peeves: "If the administration
claims Bethel is an educational institution, and Chapel attendance
is not mandatory, then they should not pressure
students to go by closing the library. It's not because Chapel
isn't interesting that students don't go, but more often due to
study or social pressures."
Julie Blomquist, a senior, said, "I go to Chapel when the

topic or speaker is interesting and I can get something out
of it. Convocation~, special music presentations, and series on
one topic draw my interest. The listing of Chapels on the
AC lounge board and in the Clarion really helps, but they
should post it in the other end of school, perhaps in the
Coffee Shop."
Other changes? "I'd like to see groups in Bethel that
aren't usually seeq, such as the black students. More students
want to get involved with Chapel but they don't know the
way to get into it," Julie commented.
Mark Thorson, a senior responded, "Chapel is, a
sociological ritual to inspire nice, obedient, non-deviant Bethel
students, and to me, it is worthless. You can impose good
on it - the spirit of Jesus Christ can redeem anything.
It is basically unimaginative, often-repeated, time-honored
worship patterns that I find completely boring and unchallenging
to Christian education."
Mark continued, "Chapel could be a place of real intellectual
interaction rather than be conceptualized as going
to church every day. It is a worship service void of
creativity with no attempt Ito plumb the depths of ideas
about Christianity or try to face Christ.
"You can worship anywhere," he said, "but it should
be worth something, contributing in a positive, quickening
Susan Hollister, a sophomore, said, "I enjoy being in
Chapel with the total community. The convocations didn't
mean much to me last year, but the topics have improved
and are more in line with my own interests. I'm really
satisfied with Chapel."
. "It is~'t really a worship ~e:vice," she added, "but more
lIke the tItle on\ the AC bulletin board: a Community Gathering.
I don't think of it inplace of church."
A transfer student from Guam, David Clawson said, "I
attend Chapel at least four times a week for the spiritual
emphasis in my own life. It's the high point in the day,
especially if it's a good Chapel. When I went to the University
in Guam, the only kids I knew were the ones in my
classes. I like Bethel's Chapel because it unifies the student

Plans made for ·
commuting students
by Tucky Einarson.
There is a growing concern, for Bethel's approximately
620 commuting students. Faculty and staff are becoming more
sensitive and aware of the spiritual, educational and social
needs of the off-campus student. (This excludes Nob Hill
and Snel.ling residents.) Questions are being raised in order
that adjustments might be made to benefit those commuting.
Dr. Mack Nettleton, Director of Student Affairs, states,
"There is a qualitative difference in the growth experiences
which commuters and resident students participate in. We
would like to narrow the gap."
In order to lessen this chasm and fulfill any needs
the commuting students might have, these questions must be
Does the commuter feel his or her spiritual needs are
being met? Does he or she feel integrated in Bethel's community?
A~e academic needs being fulfilled? Is there a close
relationship between the on-campus student and the commuting
student or should there b~ changes made?
Although the only students who can answer these are the
commuters themselves, steps are being taken toward more
oneness and integration of our community.
For the approximately 69 full- or part-time freshmen commuters,
there is a program where each frosh commuting is
invited to participate in at least two townhouse or dorm
activities during the semester. There is a possibility that
this plan might eventually include upperclassmen.
Another program being carried out involves "commuters'
night" where off-campus students are being asked to spend
the night with a particular dorm or townhouse and participate
in any activities which that unit may have planned.
Interim is also a time when commuting students a~e
being encouraged to live as . on-campus students for that
While these plans are being carried out in order to
. fulfill social and spirituai needs the commuters might have"
new thoughts and ideas are still needed and welcomed by
the Student Affairs office.

Clarion service: relief for tired paper writers
, by Mark Troxel
Certainly one of the most painfully arduous tasks facing
the Bethel student is that of the term paper. Here at the
IClarion it is our belief !that paper-writing should not be
all that difficult. After all, the two main ingredients of a good
paper are a good title, and plenty of bull.
Anyone can put out bull; all you do is talk and then
add some Latin for intellectual credibility. Phrases .like
"mostus leastus" and "obscurum clearous" are sure to make
any paper worthwhile.
Never at a loss to help · the Bethel student, we at
the Clarion have devised a method whereby utilizing our
"Title Table" one can make any paper sound at least
quasi-scholarly. With the following chart, paper-writing is as
simple as Earl Butz.
Pick a term from column A, one from column B, another
from column C, write a good paragraph, then let the

Bethel patriarch, Harley
Hallgren, revisits school
by Jim Morud
Last week Bethel College and Seminary was visited by
a congenial collecter of knowledge and friends, Harley K.
Hallgren, MT.
"My 'MT' is really a self-conferred title," explained the
84-year-old man of learning. "'MT' srtands for 'Master of
Hallgren traveled to St. Paul from Portland, Oregon,
with his sister, Helen Hallgren, to visit his grandaughter,
Mary Beth . Carlson, a Bethel sophomore. He has made
several visits to Bethel College in past years during Founders
Week, greeting old friends and meeting new people with
earnest interest. When Hallgren offers his faintly freckled
hand to shake, he generally repeats a new acquaintance's
name and then spells it aloud to be certain that he will
remember it.
Shortly after the turn of the century, Hallgren attended
the old Bethel Academy on Como Avenue, where he took a
course in Social Science dealing with contemporary immigrations.
His flame for learning has not yet been doused.
"I'm interested in people and I like people," commented
the bow-tied, Swedish octogenarian. "There isn't anybody you
can't learn from. In this old world, we have to get along
with people the way they are. We can't remake anybody.
Even Swedes have to learn that."
Hallgren never graduated from a college or university -
in fact, he received his high school equivalency diploma just
ten years ago. For fifty years he worked as a railroad man,
traveling widely in the U.S. and also making separate
excursions to Scandinavia, the Caribbeans, and Alaska. Wherever
he goes, Hallgren keeps a small spiral notebook handy
to jot down the names of people he meets, noteworthy
things he sees, thoughts that coIhe to mind. This information
he pastes, along with an assortment of pictures, newspaper
articles, and letters, into his collection of notebooks, which
he has been compiling for nearly his entire lifetime. He
has no specific purpose in mind for accumulating his treasury
of trivia other than a diary for personal reference, but he
suggests that "maybe some old historian will want to use
it some. day."
Besides his brimming diary, Harley possesses a personal
library containing approximately 12,000 volumes, ranging 'in
subject from railroads to Plato.
"Some of them I've read twice," he responded when asked
if he has read them all. "But then, I've only read the
title pages of some. Books are like friends to me. Some you
know real well, some only slightly."
In 1957 Hallgren parted with a number of his "friends"
when he donated 125 volumes of the "Gentlemen's Magazine",
(a set of periodicals published in England before the Revolutionary
War until the mid-nineteenth century) to Bethel
College. These books have proven to be invaluable sources
for history students who are seeking a contemporary account
of religious, political, and social thought in England during
this period.
After retiring from the railroad in 1958, Hallgren found
that he had more time to devote to his many interests
and activities. His experience in the travel world helped him
to secure a position as an "outside consultant" in a Portland
travel agency. Now he can help his friends when they want
to travel, "and earn a few shekels on the side."
He pays frequent visits to people in hospitals and to
people who are living at the Oregon Baptist Retirement
Home, where he is on the Board of Directors. Harley is
also on the board at Multnomah School of the Bible and
is one of the founders of Union Gospel Mission and Western
Conservative Theological Semjnary it} Portland.
Hallgren has a ready sense of humor which compliments
his jovial nature. "I didn't go with a girl until
I was 25. Just think of all the girls I didn't annoy. Then
I married the first one I went with. Of course, I found
the best one in the world." His wife, Louie, died in 1956.
I Although he has dealt in transportation and travel nearly
all his life, Hallgren has never owned an automobile'.
"I have never had to change a tire, look under a hood,
or find parking places or filling stations. But when. by the
grace of God I get to heaven, I'll see a lot of people
who have given me rides. One will say to the other, 'The
old moocher did get here'."
Harley Hallgren did not make any exhorting speeches
before the Bethel chapel service last week, nor was there
a luncheon planned in his honor. Instead, he and Helen
were quite content to sit in chapel, surrounded by a throng
of young Christians, and to "appreciate the earnest participation
of the students when they sang."
After years of learning and experiencing life to its fullest,
Harley says that he has found peace and truth in
Romans 8 :28, "And ,we know that God causes all things to
wqrk together for good to those who love God, to those
who are called according to his purpose."
"But it took me 70 years to discover the next verse,"
he exclaimed. "For whom he foreknew, He also predestined
to become conformed to the image of His Son, that
He might be the firstborn among many brethren." •
This is Harley Hallgren's goal: to learn, to love, to conform
to the image of Jesus Christ.

repairs within the system.
The new computer has a capacity to support eight
terminals. Presently, only three of these are being used:
one printer next to the computer, one video terminal in the
Physics Department and a teletype in the Chemistry Department.
Dr. Perry said that the future plans being considered
for the computer include assistance in the registr~tion process
and analyzing course evaluations. Dr. Perry is also
working on obtaining more terminals.
Rumor has it that Bethel's new computer may someday
jog into chapel, showing off its new track shoes, and appear
as a guest speaker. END RUN

Elseth heads
75-76 Spire staff;
changes in offing
by Laura Alden
"Outsiders look at the yearbook and
see the things that the Bethel community
values," stated Barb Elseth, Spire
editor for 1975-76. A transfer sophomore,
Barb has worked on yearbook staffs
both in high school and in college. She
is majoring in art and has recently
been studying with a local graphics studio.
This year Barb plans to organize
the yearbook using a new format, including
a soft cover and an individual photo
of each student.
The Spir,e, according to its editor, is
a part of Bethel; it is Bethel in impression
and memory. In addition, the. Spire
is a public relations outlet. Sponsors
get copies; students take the book into
homes; Bethel administrators use the
yearbook for promotion. "The Spire,"
says Barb, "is also one indicator of
the success or failure of integrating
Christian beliefs with lifestyle."
'(. The major part of the yearbook cost
is gleaned from student tuition in the
form of Student Senate f.unds. Under
. the Communication Board (the studentfaculty
committee responsible for student
publications and broadcasting), the 1975-
76 yearbook staff is working with a
budget of $8,050. Thus, the Senate is
paying about $5 for each Spire. The
subscription price pays the remaining
BarQ would iike to see each student
get a 1975-76 Spire. "This is our yearbook,"
she says. "It represents nine

Harriers impressive in Wisconsin meet
The Bethel cross country team extended their overall
record to fourteen wins and nine losses last Saturday as
they took second place in a · triangular meet held at Menomonie,
Wisconsin. Running against the Eau Claire and
Stout branches of the University of Wisconsin on a very
interesting five-mile courSe and in perfect weather condiJtions,
Jeff Larson led the way for the Royals by finishing in
third place with a very excellent time of 26 :25. Larry Caldwell
was the next Bethel runner to finish, his 27 :30 time
good for tenth place. The rest of the Bethel runners finished
together in groups of three. The first trio consisted of Curt
Brown (28:29), Dave Clapp (28:48), and Jim Timp (28:58),
who finished thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth, respectively.
The next trio of Brad Strom, Greg Kramer, and Bill Whittaker
finished in the twenty-first through twenty-third spots,
respecti vely.
The final score showed Eau Claire clearly dominating the
Bethel nipped by Carleton
by Bruce Olsen
The Bethel soccer team found themselves victims of
revenge last Saturday, as Carleton College slipped past the
Royals by a score of 2-1.
The Royals, 'who had beaten Carleton earlier in the
season by . a 3-0 score, found themselves on the short end
early in the game. A shot on goalie Paul Biederman slipped
out of his hands and onto the foot of a Carleton player,
who put the ball in the goal for an easy score.
A lack of defensive coverage and the wet grounds from
a heavy frost did not do much to prevent a second Carleton
goal. In a mix-up in front of the goal, a Carleton player
found an open net and ran the score to a 2-0 halftime lead.
The second half brought much better play by Bethel, but
they just could not manage to catch up. Greg "Homer"
Thome scored the lone tally for Bethel, as he kicked in
a penalty shot with just a few minutes left in the game.
Co-captain Al Vogel expressed the frustration the team
felt from the second half. "We did dominate the game in the
second half, but we couldn't put it in. We had the ball in
their half of the field during most of the second half. It
was frustrating."
The loss puts Bethel's season record at 5-5-1, with three
games left in the season. Tomorrow the Royals will play
Concordia College of St. Paul at 10 a.m. on their home
field. The Royals will travel to play Gustavus Adolphus on
Monday starting at 3 p.m.
meet, finishing in first with 24 points. Bethel was second
with 55 points, while Stout was third with the same total of
55 points. (In the case of a tie, the · end result depends
on which team's sixth man came in ' first. In this case,
Brad Strom, Bethel's sixth man, crossed the finish line
ahead of Stout's sixth man and Bethel captured second
place overall.)
"This is the first time that a Bethel cross country
team has ever beaten Stout, and we are happy about that,"
commented Coach Steve Whittaker after the meet. "Beating
a school like Stout with five times as many students as
Bethel is always exciting, and being beaten by a school
like · -Eau Claire with that many students in not disappointing."
Tomorrow morning at 11:00 at Como park, the team
hosts the Tri-State Conference Championship race. For the
last two years the Royals have finished second to nationally
ranked Westmar. This year, however, things could be different
as the harriers have a great chance of beating Westmar
and winning the Tri-State Championship. "This will probably
be the most exciting cross country race ever run in
the history of Bethel College," said Coach Whittaker. "We
hope that everyone who can will come tomorrow morning
and cheer the team on."

conference ti,e
Bethel went out last Saturday night,
sha ttered any doubts one might ha ve,
and made believers of everyone, as they
convincingly routed Yankton 36-0. The
victory assured the Royals of at least
a tie for the conference title.
It wasn't big plays, such as bombs
and punt returns, that characterized the
Yankton game, but simply good, solid,
fundamental football. Both defensively
and offensively, the Royals were awesome.
Ball control was the key to the
game. On their first possession of the
ball, the Royals marched 85 yards in
18 plays, consuming six minutes, as Willie
Gardner brought it in from the one
to score.
Each quarter Bethel drove downfield
for a touchdO'wn as they amassed 444
tO'tal yards. The Royals, ranked tenth
in the country in rushing, ground out
372 yards slashing through the Yankton
defense. Freshman Brad Cornforth, filling
in for banged up Gardner and Rapinchuk,
ran 18 yards for a touchdown
with 1 :55 left in the game.
On defense, the Royals were tough,
aggressive, and stingy. Ranked thirteenth
in the cO'untry against the rush, Bethel's
defense held YanktO'n to a meager 70
yards O'n the ground. The defensive backfield
alsO' played a big role as they
intercepted five passes, two by Ward
The victory was a big one for Bethel.
It nO't only clinched a tie for the title,
it proved to everyone that the Royals
aren't a good fO'otball team this year,
they're great. NO'rthwestern coaches in
the stands certainly looked concerned.

Seniors Anderson, Kaihoi, Witherington, Joling, Rocholl, Quanrud,
Van Benschoten, Hansen, Johnson, Holmes, Thorson, Ho·line will be
playing their final home game for Bethel tomorrow.
by Dan Swanson
Tomorrow at 1 :30 the Bethel Royals
will host Northwestern of Iowa in what
will be O'ne O'f the most exciting games
eve:.: played here. It will match the
Red Raiders, a perennial fO'otball power
with great finesse and skill, against the
Royals, a powerful team who really
wants the conference title.
The Red Raiders know they must win
to clinch a tie for the title with Bethel.
Northwestern had not lost a conference
game in five years until they
were upset by Yankton this year. To
them, a win over Bethel is the only
way to salvage a disappointing season
that could see them finish third.
This is the first time Bethel has nO't
gone into a game against Northwestern
as underdogs. In fact, the toss-up game
prO'bably favors the Royals slightly. It
should produce the greatest game ever
played at Bethel.
Here are the views and feelings O'f
a few players about the upcoming game:
Kevin Hallstrom (defensive back) -
"They know how strong we are against
the rush. I expect them to come out
thrO'wing. I feel we really came together
as a defensive backfield in the Yankton
game. We've started to' gel and we're
ready. The pressure's on them."
Willie Gardner (running back) - "We
have just got to play an all around
good football game as in the past two
weeks. I know we can do it. We're
capable of beating them and that's exactly
what we plan to do."
Mike Anderson (middle linebacker) -
"For the first time, we've got to be
favored and they've got to be scared.
They know they have to win. We're
no pushover as we might ha ve been
in the past, and they know it. I expect
them to come out passing. We're ready."
Steve Payne (assistant coach) - "I
scouted their game with Westmar. They
are a smart team with a lot O'f finesse.
They're not big and powerful like Yankton
but they've got speed and they make
minimal mistakes. I think the key to'
the game is going to be defense. We've
got to play great defense. Offensively,
we have got to establish a running game
to be able to pass. I feel we can run
on them, or for that matter, on anybody."
WO'rds are only words; the action takes
place on the field where it counts. KickO'ff
is at 1 :30 and you won't want to
miss it. Fan support was a contributing
factO'r in the Yankton game. It should
be again tomorrow.

Well, the first wave of reviews are in, and it looks like somebody's gonna freakin' pay for screwing up Duke's comeback. IGN gives it a 5.5 and offers us this stinger: Duke has not aged well. As simple as he ever was, as irrelevant as he's ever been. Ouch! Joystiq gives it similar treatment: Allow me to borrow Duke's trademark line which he, in turn, borrowed from a fellow 1990s artistic endeavor, Army of Darkness: "Don't come get some." PC Gamer was more forgiving, settling on an 80 score, but warns us that the development-time-to-awesomeness ratio isn't impressive.
The complaints are many and numerous, but most come back to how long this game took to make and how lackluster the finished product finally turned out to be. Wikipedia even has a special page just for the game's long and storied development cycle, which according to them went into production in 1997.

On Wednesday, I posted about an online article (which I first saw at Greg Mankiw's blog) by Alex Brill and Alan Viard in the AEI's "The American" titled The Folly of Obama's Tax Plan. I argued and still believe that the way that article is written is deeply misleading (one of the authors responded in comments, and my point-by-point response is here; but enough food-fighting -- this is a substantive post!).
My main point was that
An honest article meant to inform would show both the marginal tax rates graph and a graph of after-tax-and-transfer income against pre-tax-and-transfer income. I assure you that there is a very good reason that Brill and Viard don't include that second graph.The original Brill and Viard piece was a vehicle to publicize a chart showing how the Obama plan would increase effective marginal tax rates for a carefully chosen type of family, at all income levels above $25k (for some reason, Brill and Viard's chart doesn't show effective marginal tax rates for those with pre-tax income below $25k). In isolation, this graph has the potential to confuse readers unfamiliar with the distinction between "taxes" and "effective marginal tax rates". As I suggested in the text I quoted just above, a fair-minded way of discussing the Obama plan's effects--even a discussion intended to raise the question of disincentive effects--would not focus only on effective marginal tax rates. Rather, such a discussion would show how Obama's plan would affect after-tax-and-transfer income for people with different levels of pre-tax income. Unless I've missed it, Brill and Viard have yet to provide such a graph or discussion.
In a happy coincidence, Obama economic advisers Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee published an op-ed in the WSJ concerning Obama's tax plan. This op-ed led the Tax Policy Center (original source of the data used by Brill and Viard) to re-run their numbers. You can see some summary results of TPC's simulations of the Obama plan here; these results incorporate the details of the Furman-Goolsbee article. For comparison's sake, you can also see results from the same types of simulations applied to McCain's tax plan (dated July 23, 2008, and based on descriptions by McCain advisers); these results are here.
Since the TPC numbers break down the effects of each candidate's plan on various pre-tax income categories, I thought it would be helpful to provide the sorts of graphs that Brill and Viard didn't. Each graph shows the effect of Obama's plan side-by-side with the effect of McCain's plan (the analyses are relative to what is called the "tax cuts extended baseline", which I believe means that the analysis assumes extension of the Bush tax cuts; this isn't my preferred analytical baseline, but some people like it, and showing both plans relative to the same baseline removes any relative distortions).
Three notes before I get started:
- I haven't seen similar TPC-done effective marginal tax rate tables for the two plans (I searched the site but did not find them). If someone can point me to them, I'd be delighted to make similar graphs for effective marginal tax rates in a future post.
- The point of this post is to provide interested readers with information helpful to understanding what each proposal would do. Obviously I'm partial to Obama (look at the blog's title!), but I've tried to keep editorializing to a minimum in this post. Look at the facts, and make up your own mind.
- The TPC does its estimates under various assumptions about the plans and the tax-law/tax-policy baseline. I made these tables using the links provided by Pete Davis of the Capital Gains and Games blog, which is where I first saw that the TPC had updated its Obama-plan analysis. Analyses based on other plausible assumptions about the plans and/or future counterfactual tax rates would of course yield different charts. My guess, though, is that the basic story would be the same. I'm of course happy to be shown that I'm wrong on this guess. [Update: Turns out that the TPC analysis of the McCain plan based on McCain's stump speech is very different from the analysis I discuss here, which is based on what his economic advisers say. In short, the McCain stump-speech version would lead to considerably larger reductions in taxes paid by most groups than the version based on what his economic advisers told TPC. The overall cost of the stump-speech plan is $2.8 trillion more than the economic-advisers one. To see this, compare the next-to-bottom-row figure in the far-right column of this table (analysis of stump-speech version) to the same figure in this one (analysis of economic advisers' version). The same comparison between Obama's stump and advisers' versions involves only a $400 billion difference in his plan's total cost (the stump version is actually less expensive). I'm going to leave the rest of this post as-is, focusing on what advisers told TPC. When I have some time later, I'll try to put together a side-by-side of McCain's stump versus Obama's, as well as McCain's advisers versus McCain's speeches.]
As you can see, the Obama plan leads to a large percentage increase -- 8.6% -- in after-tax income for households with pre-tax income below $10k. In fact, Obama's plan increases after-tax income for those with pre-tax incomes in every category below $200k. McCain's plan would increase after-tax income for every category, though the only categories for which after-tax income would rise by more than 1% are those with pre-tax income between $500k-$1mil and $1mil+. By contrast, Obama's plan would reduce after-tax income by 1.5% for those making $200k-$500k, by 5.6% for those making $500k-$1mil, and by 11.3% for those making $1mil+.
Now let's consider actual dollars. My next charts shows the change in the net tax bill that each plan would cause for the different income categories. Note that a negative number is a tax cut, while a positive number is a tax increase. Chart A shows the change under each plan for all categories with incomes below $200k; I discuss those with higher incomes in Chart B, below.
This chart shows that both plans would reduce the net taxes paid for all groups with incomes below $200k. But Obama's plan cuts the net tax bill considerably more than does McCain's for those making below $100k. Here are the numbers by income category:
- Pre-tax income less than $10k: Obama tax cut is $487, McCain's is $14.
- Pre-tax income $10-20k: Obama tax cut is $709, McCain's is $26.
- Pre-tax income $20-30k: Obama tax cut is $896, McCain's is $89.
- Pre-tax income $30-40k: Obama tax cut is $1,039, McCain's is $178.
- Pre-tax income $40-50k: Obama tax cut is $1,124, McCain's is $232.
- Pre-tax income $50-75k: Obama tax cut is $952, McCain's is $336.
- Pre-tax income $75-100k: Obama tax cut is $779, McCain's is $483.
- Pre-tax income $100-200k: Obama tax cut is $407, McCain's is $847.
Chart B shows the change in net tax bills for the top three pre-tax income categories. Notice that the vertical-axis scale of this chart is very different from the scale in Chart A (that's why I broke the categories into separate charts).
Here are the numbers:
- Pre-tax $200-500k: Obama raises taxes $3,546, McCain cuts $1,892.
- Pre-tax $500-1mil: Obama raises taxes $30,499, McCain cuts $6,825.
- Pre-tax $1mil+: Obama raises taxes $262,371, McCain cuts $58,632.
- large increases in taxes paid by the highest-earning Americans, who represent a very small share of people but take in a (relatively) very large share of pre-tax income, coupled with
- moderate-to-large reductions in the net tax bill faced by everyone else.
- smaller, but still large, reductions in taxes paid by the highest-earning Americans, coupled with
- very small reductions in the net tax bill faced by everyone else.
I now turn to the issue of average tax rates. Whereas the effective marginal tax rate answers the question, "What share of the next dollar that I earn will I have to pay in taxes?", the average tax rate answers the question, "What share of all my income do I have to pay in taxes?" Because marginal tax rates rise with pre-tax income in the U.S. tax system, and because of the way various tax credits are phased out as pre-tax income rises, effective marginal tax rates can be very different from average tax rates. The question of whether marginal tax rates or average tax rates are more important doesn't make a lot of sense, because they're both relevant to answering different questions. A person deciding whether to work one more hour should be more concerned with marginal tax rates, while a person deciding whether to work at all, or between part- and full-time work, should be more concerned with average tax rates. A person concerned with distributional fairness (whatever said person thinks that means) should probably be more concerned with average tax rates, though the disincentive effects of marginal tax rates do impact the efficiency costs of a given degree of redistribution.
With that said, my final chart shows the change in the average tax rate paid by people in each category. A negative number means that the average tax rates paid by those in the group would fall under the plan (a tax cut), while a positive number means the average tax rates would rise (a tax increase). The units of the chart are in percentage points, not percent. That is, the -8.1 figure for those in the lowest income group under Obama's plan means that instead of paying 5.3 percent of their pre-tax income in taxes, on average they would receive a 2.8 percent rebate (5.3 percent minus 2.8 percent equals 8.1 percentage points).
This chart tells a pretty simple story. McCain's plan would reduce all groups' average tax rates, though generally by very little. Except for those making more than a million dollars a year, who would see a drop in average tax rates of 1.8 points, McCain's plan would reduce the average tax rate by less than one percentage point across the board.
By contrast, Obama's plan would reduce average tax rates by a moderate to large amount (between 1.4 and 8.1 percentage points) for all groups with pre-tax income below $75k; those in the $75-100k and $100-200k groups would see average tax rates fall by 0.8 and 0.3 percent. Most notably, those in the three highest groups would see moderately small (1.2 percent for $200-500k) to large (4.1 and 8.0 percent for those making $500k-$1mil and $1mil+) increases in their average tax rates.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 04, 2014
On Mine Action Day on 4 April, the UN will help raise awareness of the devastating toll that explosive remnants of war continue to exact upon communities, sometimes decades after conflicts come to an end.
This year, with Jordan and Uganda recently announcing that they are free of mine fields, Ethiopia and Mozambique expected to announce that they will soon follow suit, and other countries ridding themselves of cluster munitions, we are one step closer to a safer world.
"Left-over bombs, landmines and other unexploded ordnance create a double tragedy for post-conflict countries," UNDP Administrator Helen Clark said today. "These devices not only kill more than 3,600 people and maim tens of thousands people every year, but they also prevent countries and communities from developing to their full potential, including by impacting on food security, access to farmland, social services, and clean water and roads."
"This Mine Action Day, however, my message is a positive one. Decades of support to mine affected countries by UNDP and many other actors is resulting in making countries safer, and that is bringing direct benefits for poverty reduction too." 161 countries have now signed up for the Antipersonnel Mine-ban Convention, which prohibits the use of landmines.
Many previously contaminated countries, like Uganda and Jordan have met most of their obligations under the Convention and are now considered free of mines. UNDP says continued programme support together with partner organizations is beginning to reap rewards in other countries as well.
In Cambodia, for example, intensive de-mining programmes over the past few years have contributing to a steady decline in the number of deaths caused by landmines and other explosive remnants of war – from 188 in 2006, to 48 in 2013. This has helped hundreds of thousands of farmers and impoverished families to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty.
With UNDP support in 2013, approximately 19,000 households in Cambodia were able to benefit from land that was recently declared free of mines. 61 percent of this land is currently used for agriculture.
The focus for Mine Action Day in 2014 is the important role that women play in this sector. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by landmines. They have different needs when it comes to education about risks and different challenges when they or a family member is killed or injured. Around the world, from Laos to Ethiopia, UNDP is helping women to train as expert deminers.
In many societies affected by conflict or instability, unexploded remnants of war stand in the way of long-term peace and prevent the rehabilitation and reintegration of former combatants and people affected by conflict, such as returning refugees. That is why, in 2013 alone, UNDP-supported programmes helped more than 170,000 landmine survivors, many of whom were displaced by conflict, to find jobs and support themselves.
Other results for 2013 include:
- In Albania, UNDP helped clear more than 51,000 square metres of land, which benefited more than 16,000 people;
- In Lebanon, together with mine clearance organizations and other key partners, UNDP has now helped clear 66 percent of total contaminated areas in the country;
- With UNDP support in Yemen, 162,000 people who had been displaced returned to their homes in 2013, after the Yemen Mine Action Center cleared land around their homes; and
- UNDP helped Albania, Chad, and Iraq to meet their obligations under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. In Mozambique and Albania, UNDP helped the government to fulfill obligations under the Convention on Cluster Munitions and submit transparency reports.

I've been watching the top 10 serps for the key word "link building" for a while now, and I've noticed someone do something to quickly boost them into the top 10 via an US Google server, and here in Canada they rank #1 for the term "link building". A man named Chuck has made a little rap about link building, properly made use of social media and networking sites, and is now reaping the benefits of some nice keywords. I'm not sure how long he will rank in the top 10, but I imagine this will still get attention and build a few more good links. I've used Youtube in the past a lot for affiliate marketing, and it yields some great results if you're using the right niche.
The SEO Rapper is a man named chuck, and he's a SEO Consultant from Houston TX. You can read his blog * Mo Serious Thoughts *. His blog has a lot of good things to say and anyone could learn something from this guy. He's utilizing social media very well and it's a great real world example of how a properly executed campaign is done.
Chuck runs a SEO company called Pop Labs, and as you can see specializes in Social Media Consulting. You can check out their website for fresh marketing ideas, or catch up on their blog. Pop Labs has been live since 2001 and I'll hopefully get to meet them eventually at a conference. I've also got to mention their SEO Tools that are for free on the Pop Labs website. Chuck also runs a Youtube channel where he has a whole bunch of videos including this little gem, "Design Coding".

If you are headed to the beach to enjoy the recent mild December weather, don�t forget to stop for lunch and do a little holiday shopping.
If you are headed to the beach to enjoy the recent mild December weather, don�t forget to stop for lunch and do a little holiday shopping.
It may be winter, but businesses at beach communities along Topsail Island and Bogue Banks are open for business and welcome customers year-round.
Hours may shorten and schedules may change but winter at the beach doesn�t mean closing up shop.
Businesses such as Bumblebee Market in Surf City and Elly�s Gifts in Emerald Isle only close during the year on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Bumblebee Market owner Julie Bell-Vorhees said their customer base may transition a bit from the summer boom of vacationers to a more local crowd during the off-season, but she has been fortunate to have loyal customers. The Surf City shop celebrates its fifth anniversary in March and she has since opened a second shop in downtown Wilmington.
She is also glad to see other businesses keeping a year-round presence as well. It�s good for the entire community, and lets the public know they are ready to welcome them.
�We really want Surf City to be a destination for people to come to for the day and go shopping, dine out at the restaurants and come down during the off-season,� she said. �It takes a lot of businesses being open to do that.�
Rocky Godwin, owner of 50 South Surf Shop, also in Surf city, offers surfboards, beach bikes and skateboards and stays open all year with the exception of a couple of weeks in January.
He said consistency is important to customers, who want to know a business is open when they need something.
And the beach still sees activity, particularly during the mild weather, through the holiday season.
�After the Dolphin Dip (on Jan. 1) in January and February, that�s our slowest time,� Godwin said.
Paula Spears, owner of the Dairy Queen in SurfCity, added Orange Julius to the restaurant in August and, this year, decided to stay open throughout the year.
Spears said more and more businesses are staying open in the area all winter; and she found they did well last winter, particularly with the warm weather.
It was time for her to give it a try after 15 years in business in Surf City.
�I�ve been wanting to � It may work for me, it may not, but after all these years it was time,� she said.
In the past she has closed at the end of October and reopened in March. This winter she�s keeping her doors open Thursday through Sunday and would like to move to seven days a week if that becomes feasible.
�We want to grow the beach, but it�s hard to do that when businesses are closed. It�s a group thing,� she said.
Summer remains the peak of the season, but it rolls right into fall fishing season and then there is the return of second homeowners and families who like to gather at the beach during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Elly�s Gifts, located at Emerald Plantation, has been in business for 26 years and keeps a year-round presence in Emerald Isle.
The hours shorten during the winter; but the store remains open seven days a week with the exception of Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Year�s Day.
Traffic through the shop is busiest during the summer months with the influx of visitors to the beach, but the town stays active throughout the year, with second homeowners coming in for weekends and a good number of full-time residents who are loyal customers.
�They are local residents. They live here and need to shop as well and they shouldn�t have to leave the island to do so. We�re more than a tourist shop; we�re full service,� said Kurt Breither, who has owned Elly�s with his wife Debbie for the past eight years.
The shop includes gifts, home d�cor items, gourmet foods, a year-around Christmas shop and more.
And as long as the customers are there, so are they.
�The locals are always here and we want to be too,� he said.
EmeraldIsleMayorArtSchoolssaid nearby attractions are open year round and the off-season is a great time to take advantage of lower rates on beach rentals.
And it doesn�t hurt that winter at the beach doesn�t always feel winter-like at all during spells of warm temperatures.
�Winter is a great time of the year for family gatherings since houses can be rented at off-season rates,� he said. �It is not unusual to have spring like temperatures for several days at a time during the winter months.�

(Reuters) - Mississippi's only abortion clinic was granted a temporary reprieve from closure on Monday when a federal judge blocked enforcement of a state law that required its doctors to have the right to admit patients to local hospitals.
The Jackson Women's Health Organization faced a state license revocation hearing on Thursday because its doctors had not been able to comply with the 2012 law - which the clinic's supporters say was imposed to shut the facility down.
Pro-abortion campaigners say the law imposed arbitrary and medically unnecessary requirements to target the clinic. Supporters of the state law have said they hoped it would improve patient care.
Several U.S. states have a single clinic that performs abortions. Mississippi, which has some of the strictest abortion laws in the country, would have been the first to have none.
The Jackson clinic has been Mississippi's sole abortion provider since 2002.
Mississippi is one of several states that require abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals.
The clinic had sued Mississippi in June 2012 over the law, winning a temporary injunction from U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III, who stopped the state from penalizing the clinic while the doctors asked the hospitals for admitting privileges.
Only one of the clinic's doctors holds admitting privileges and the two who provide the vast majority of abortions do not.
The clinic sought another injunction in November after the doctors' requests for privileges were rejected at every local hospital because they perform elective abortions. Two hospitals refused even to give them applications.
The state later indicated that it would revoke the clinic's license after a hearing on April 18, forcing the closing of the clinic, the judge said in the opinion released on Monday.
Jordan enjoined Mississippi from enforcing the admitting privileges requirement while the clinic's lawsuit proceeds.
"While the women of Mississippi may be able to breathe a collective sigh of relief today, this fight is far from over," Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents the clinic, said in a statement.
Anti-abortion activists have increasingly turned toward enacting new restrictions at the state level to the procedure, which was made legal nationally by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.
Last month North Dakota adopted the nation's most restrictive law, effectively banning most abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, or about six weeks into pregnancy.

[wimg=left]../images/covers/themovement.jpg[/wimg]Here's the official cover for
Inspectah Deck
's upcoming album The Movement due out on June 10th, 2003. The album is supposed to be over 70 minutes long and has 18 tracks with guests like
Kool G Rap
Killa Sin
and more. A video for the first single, The Movement, will be coming soon.
has been officially opened.
Ol' Dirty Bastard
or Dirt McGirt, whatever you want to call him right now, recently responded to
. After ODB signed with the ROC, Raekwon called up Hot97 and showed all the listeners that he wasn't really happy with the signing although he did wish him luck. Today ODB responded, you can listen to the short audio interview on
[wimg=right]../images/news/03_05_10_odb.jpg[/wimg]"It feels good being out and just jumping back into my music," the ODB, said Thursday night at Right Track studios. "I like to hear myself on the radio. I like how quick Roc-A-Fella moves. They move too quick. Quick as lightning. I'm talking about Superman, the Legion of Doom, Flash."
The Roc can only move as rapidly as Dirty allows them to, which is pretty swiftly. McGirt has only been a free man for a week and a day and already he has two songs getting play on the radio. Earlier in the week, Roc-A-Fella released Dirty's "Welcome Home" with
Nicole Wray
, and on Thursday a remake of sorts of
's "Sound of Da Police," which features ODB,
Beanie Sigel
Peedi Crakk
, hit the airwaves.
"I wrote rhymes when I was incarcerated," Dirty explained about how it felt recording for the first time since being released back into society. "When I got in [the vocal booth] it was a hop, skip and a jump. It was 1, 2, 3. I wanted to get back into the shine. I just want to get back out there and do it again. You know, how Mike Tyson came back, I wanna come back the same way. I want to hit 'em hard. I just want to hit y'all with headbangers. I'm just gonna be screaming on shit. Period."
At Right Track, Dirty was living up to his words, as per the advice of producer
Pharrell Williams
. Dirty was rapping on a track for the
' upcoming album Star Trak Presents Clones, and Pharrell wanted the Wu-Tang wildman to bring the ruckus.
"Just talk shit," an excited Pharrell told ODB, who was in the vocal booth. Dirty had laid down his verses in just a few takes and Pharrell needed some ad libs. "This is your world. You just got home and you're ready to take over the world."
"Guess who's home, guess who's home guess who hooommme!/ Guess who's home, guess who's home guess who hooommme!/ Guess who's home, guess who's home guess who hooommme!" Dirt would later sing, adding to the beginning of the song.
"Yeah muthafucker , you know what time it is," Dirty yelled into the mic, talking over his recorded singing. "Ol' Dirty Bastard. Dirt McGirt. Killing everything that moves. Neptunes ... This shit don't stop. This shit keep going, nigga!"
"I'm hurt right now," Pharrell told Dirt and the people in the studio, including a VH1 camera crew, who are filming a reality TV series on ODB. "Niggas is losin' their mind. I'm so mad we ain't sign this guy. This song is NUTS! Is it not nuts? He's so fuckin' dope."
It wasn't just the way Dirty rode Pharrell's thumping basslines with his soulful madness, or McGirt's lines like, "Everybody wants the Kid dead like Pat Garrett," which references characters in the movie "Young Guns," it was how quickly the song was being knocked. Less than an hour after Pharrell and his partner Chad Hugo walked into Right Track to play the beat, Dirty had picked lyrics from his book of rhymes, laid down three verses and recorded the chorus and ad libs with Pharrell.
It was a good thing the music flowed so freely, because there was literally not one minute to waste. At 11:19 p.m., Dirty's manager alerted everyone that, whether the track was finished or not, his client had to leave in "one minute." See, Dirty has a court-appointed midnight curfew. So by 11:22, Dirty was done and shaking hands with Pharrell on the way out.
At 11:30, Pharrell began adding his own vocals to the song: "Pop shit nigga bitch what's uuuppp? Pop shit nigga what's uuuppp?" And by midnight, the crooning producer was boasting of a job well done and anxious to head over to Baseline studios to play the track for his good friend Shawn, or as we know him,
"I was in Brazil [doing a cover shoot] with The Source, and Roc-A-Fella called and said they signed Dirt," Pharrell, who produced songs for Dirty's last studio album, Nigga Please, said before heading off to see Jay. "I was hurt because I wanted Dirt. We got an incredible chemistry. Music is most important when it comes to what we do. I'm putting him on the ... Clones album with the song we did tonight. He's incredible. He came in and knocked the song out in less than an hour. I'm so thankful to be in the presence of people like that. It was incredible, he's insanely genius. You may not understand what he's saying sometimes, but maybe you just need to slow the tape down."
Star Trak Presents Clones hits stores this summer. Pharrell said that in addition to the singles we're already hearing on the radio, like his duet with Jay-Z, "Frontin'," and the
's "Hot Damn," he plans to make the
duet "Popular" as well as the just-completed ODB track a single.
Busta Rhymes
Super Cat
Justin Timberlake
and Usher also appear on the LP.
The Roc says ODB's album will drop this year. Calls are being made now to different artists about appearing on the LP. While nothing is confirmed, some of the names being tossed around include
50 Cent
, Busta Rhymes,
and, of course, the Wu-Tang Clan and various Roc-A-Fella recording artists.

Back in 2003 A.D, when I was a frustrated, 21-year-old starving artist struggling to figure out who I was and what I was doing with my post-cult life, I was invited to do an art show at Western Washington University's gallery. In addition to my paintings, some of which you can see on this blog, I created a video installation which was projected on a wall and, in my opinion, really tied the room together.
I just recently unearthed the DVD of this video, and I wanted to share it with you folks. It's crude stuff, and very lo-fi video quality, having been created on late-90s software and moved carelessly back and forth between many file formats and I believe at one point, run through a VCR? For some reason? But somehow it still holds a fascination for me, and if you're a really die-hard fan of my writing and art styles and also very patient, you might find some pleasure in it.
