Interview with Traverse City Artist Eric Daigh
Click for information on the the Eric Daigh exhibit at the Dennos Museum in Traverse City that runs through April 1, 2012.
There's a video on YouTube that appeals to Traverse City artist Eric Daigh's fascination. The video shows a man standing on a two-lane bridge and holding a weight. The weight is tied to a long rope, which is piled there on the asphalt and has a suitcase tied to the other end. He throws the weight over the side of the bridge, and the rope frantically unfurls until finally the inevitable happens. The weight tears the suitcase from its spot, and it hurtles over the railing in a blink. The man stares down over the bridge for a long moment, and then he laughs.
"I love that, I can just watch it over and over," Daigh says. The whole video plays in 15 seconds, so watching it over and over is easily done (youtube.com/watch?v=an9dXk72e2w). But in all probability, most people wouldn't bother. The average viewer would watch once or twice, maybe smile, think, Hmm … okay … and never watch it again. So just what does Daigh see here?
"It's so funny because it is so simple; you can tell what is going to happen, but then you see it happen. All the elements are there, and there's no twist to the story, but it's still really enjoyable. I am a really big fan of simple things that are still impressive. Today, people feel that they need to employ bigger-more-faster to entertain people. In the midst of that, when something so simple is powerful and dramatic, I'm a fan. That's a tradition that I would like to be a part of."
Actually,Traverse City artist Eric Daigh is already a part of that tradition, having received remarkable acclaim in the art world with images that meet all those criteria: simple, dramatic and powerful. Commonly called "the pushpin artist," the Northern Michigan artist photographs understated, flatly lit close ups of emotionless faces and then re-creates the photo image using thousands of colored pushpins. Think pointillism, but instead of dots of paint, pushpins provide the color. He uses just five colors—red, blue, yellow, black and white—to create the images. Take a magnifying glass and look at a color photo in a magazine or newspaper, and you'll see a similar dot process at work.

Daigh is perhaps the most celebrated artist living in Northern Michigan today, and the acclaim has arrived with stunning speed. Heading into 2008 he was making a living as a web designer, and he'd never sold a single piece of fine art. By the end of 2010, he had won $50,000 for third-place in the Grand Rapids ArtPrize competition, had been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, had been commissioned to produce the biggest billboard ever displayed inside New York's Grand Central Station (a mosaic made of Post-It Notes), and been commissioned to create an image of an Acura car-door handle for one of the car company's highest profile marketing brochures. More big stuff has happened since. At 34 years old, he's achieved things artists dream of as career-long goals. So where does he go from here?
The first time I meet Eric Daigh it's late January 2011, and he's working to finish pieces for an April gallery show at Chicago's small but prestigious Carl Hammer Gallery. The house he and his wife built is just outside Traverse City, facing south on a wooded ridge, the land falling sharply away. They just finished the house in May, and it still smells new. The bamboo floors are flawless. The all-white walls have not a scuff, and today they're rendered brilliant by dazzling snow-bounced sunlight that floods in the south windows. A Christmas tree still stands in the corner of the living room, but no other traces of the holiday remain.
I'm expecting to see a giant piece of Daigh's artwork dominating the living room—perhaps the 4-by-3-foot portrait of his wife, Meg, that hung in Traverse City's Right Brain Brewery for a few months in 2009, before he got big. But instead I find a 6-by-8-foot canvas done in Jackson Pollock style, an abstract painting of what looks to be poured and splattered paint that Daigh made with his 6-year-old son out on the driveway. I think of something a friend of mine who knows Daigh told me when I asked her to tell me one single thing about him: "He's a very attentive father, which I found impressive in a young man," she said.
"It took 10 days to make because you have to let the layers of paint dry, and you need a lot of layers to get the color saturation you need," Daigh says. He stares at the painting for a moment, the bright light of the room giving his eyes a luminescent sheen. "The activity felt so wrong and reckless to me," he says about going wild with paint out on the driveway. "But to my son it just came naturally, as that sort of thing does to children." He pauses and looks at me. "I finish every telling of this with, 'you should try it.' " He says, and smiles.
Daigh is six-foot-two, strikingly angular, strikingly lean. He has high cheekbones and dark green-brown eyes; it's a face that's sharply dramatic without being severe. His hair is short and straight and nearly black. When he talks, he extends a long arm in some gesture to illustrate a point, cocks a wrist, puts a palm to his chin. And he talks a lot. Eric Daigh speaks fast, is articulate and surfs quickly from one idea to the next. We head to Daigh's basement studio, a space pretty much like basements in new houses across America—poured concrete walls rising 10 feet, pink insulation lining the walkout wall. It even smells like a regular basement—no scent of oil paints or canvas or solvent or clay or ink, because his medium is pushpins. A drum set and guitars sit clustered between the stairs and Daigh's workspace.
He gets a few friends together once a month or so to play. "We have no ambition to play outside the basement," he says. "And we are so bad. So, so bad. One guy can't play guitar, but does here just so he can wear one." They like to stick to loud punk, but he concedes, "It's hard not to devolve into the Eagles." Sometimes he just bangs the drums in the middle of the day as a break from pushing pins.
Next along the wall, an improvised photo portrait studio—a few lights, a tripod, a plain white backdrop—where Daigh shoots some of his portraits. All the attention on Daigh focuses on his pushpin creations, but he views his portrait technique as an essential but overlooked component of his work. He strives to make the technique invisible, completely unobtrusive, so the viewer, not the artist, brings the context for the work. "I'm proud of the pushpin process," he says. "But it's frustrating to have the photographic part kicked to the side."
And at the basement's far end is Daigh's pushpin work space—stacked cases of pushpins, a power drill, some thin sheet-boards; at first glance it feels more handyman than artist. A half-dozen pushpin projects in various states of completion lean against the wall. The face of Traverse City artist Angela Schuler, red hair, luminous forehead, her right eye stares out. The bridge of her nose is there. But the rest of her face is a brown featureless backboard.
Beside her, upside down, is the face of an entrepreneur who helped start Groupon, a company that reached $1 billion in market valuation faster than any company in history. His bald pate curves at the floor, and moving up, his blue eyes beam with some kind of electric fervor—even upside down the eyes are riveting—his ears are backlit, showing a pinkish glow, but just below his bottom lip, the face stops in an even line. "He heard about me on CBS and first commissioned me to do his two daughters," Daigh says, tilting his head to look at the upside down face. All of these, and other portraits he's shot but barely begun—like one of Richard M. Daley Jr., the former mayor of Chicago—must be done before the Carl Hammer show about eight weeks away.
But even in the pushpin portraits' half-finished state, the effect is there. From 15 feet away, the image appears photographic, but also somehow more—luminescent and engaging; puzzlingly 3-D, but also not. And as you move close, the image breaks apart into thousands of bits of color.
"I didn't sit down one day and say, I intend to make a statement about reproduction or crowds or mass production and things like that," he says. The idea emerged more from some of Daigh's earlier work, a desire to see if a photographic image could be changed, stripped of details, sanded back, degraded and still somehow work as an image. He calls pushpins a "crude" medium.
But the message of his mosaics—that each of us as individuals is made up of a collection of the same small things—is something that Daigh most enjoys about his work. "I think of DNA and that we are essentially made up of a very small number of different switches, and those are most closely represented in the five-color palette," he says.
Or, more broadly, looking at us in a cultural sense, "We all like to celebrate how unique we are, and that's true that we are, but also we all own one of, say, 12 different automakers' cars, for example. And if you start to factor in all the different boxes we check—I watch TV, I don't watch TV—the number of boxes is more finite than you might expect. Yet, when you stack them all up into one person, they become this unique picture. And I like that. And I like that the portrait is something that is human. And hopefully there is a humanity that exists in them after I've boiled them down into something as crude and unromantic as this medium, pushpins."
In January 2011, when I ask Daigh what he wants out of this, what's the grand dream, he says, "I'd like to be the most important visual artist of the 21st century. Last century, we had Picasso. We had Warhol. We had Dali. These were household names. We don't have an artist who is a household name today, and that's a sad thing." Daigh wants to be that name.
By September 2011, the Carl Hammer Gallery show in Chicago is five months behind Daigh. "It was an immensely successful show," Carl Hammer says. Total traffic, press coverage and sales were all outstanding. "He has the potential to have a very significant art career. But time will tell how successful he will be. There is also danger in having too much success too quickly sometimes."
What does Daigh's work say to Hammer? "As you walk into it, and the image turns into an oblivion of colors and pushpins, it gives you the notion that we are just matter. It reminds us of who we are, and that we are here for a short period on this planet, and in that way, can be a realization of that temporariness of life."
I check in again with Daigh as autumn is just beginning to tint the leaves outside his picture window. The year seems to have been a lot of good for Daigh. In addition to the success of the Chicago show, he nailed down several private commissions and will be doing a large triptych of three faces—maybe 8 by 20 feet—in the Soho, New York, store of the Louis Vuitton–owned cosmetics retailer Sephora. Plus his Acura car-door image hung in a high-profile spot in New York's Armory Show, one of the most prestigious contemporary art shows on the planet. Yet, when reflecting on the stream of high notes in 2011, Daigh is unexpectedly wistful. "When we spoke before, I think you caught me at an ambitious curve," he says, referencing the household name idea. "There's peaks and valleys to my enthusiasm about the work. Right now I'm sort of at the opposite of that peak."
He reflects on the why of his current feeling, why he's in a valley, when he should be on a high. Part of it is where the adulation is coming from. People are so excited about the technique, the medium, the trompe l'oeil of the pushpin construction, but they don't seem to transition to the larger concepts involved. "It's a feeling from junior high, when a girl says she wants to just be friends. She wants to know you forever, never lose touch, and never, ever make out with you," he says. Another part of the drift comes from his first up-close look at the world of Big Art—the money, the deals, the dealmakers, the motivations.
Whatever the reason for his funk, it has pushed Daigh to explore new directions, not abandon the medium that made him famous, but check out some other things, like video and a concept he has for stencil art. He'll unveil some of these works at a show at the Dennos Museum in Traverse City that will run from December through April.
"The danger of dreaming is you say, If I could just get paid to do the thing I love, then that's it. End game. Ride off into the sunset," Daigh says. "But there's a complacency that came with that, and I was not prepared for how empty that would feel. I think being hungry, really wanting something, has so much use. I don't think it's out of reach to find that dynamic again, I just wasn't ready to answer that next question: What are you hungry for now?"
Eric Daigh calls his upcoming exhibit at the Dennos Museum in Traverse City Happiness is a Target. Catch it December 4, 2011-April 1, 2012. 231.995.1055, dennosmuseum.org.

Eurobarometer survey Active Ageing
As the 2012 European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations gets off the ground, the European Commission has published an extensive survey on active ageing to understand citizens' views and attitudes towards older people. The survey also covers the contribution of older people in the workplace and society, as well as how best to promote the active role of older people in society.
Why is active ageing important?
Since 1960, life expectancy has climbed by eight years and demographic projections foresee a further five-year increase over the next four or five decades. We are all living longer and, together with low birth rates, Europe's population is ageing fast and it is happening all over the world, except in the poorest countries.
Population ageing presents a number of challenges for welfare systems and public finances. EU Member States spend, on average, more than a quarter of their GDP on social protection. Most of this goes on older people in the form of pensions, health and long-term care. The current economic crisis has left Member States with large public deficits and public debt burden just at a time when the post-war baby-boomers are entering their sixties and starting to retire. The key issue today is how to secure good social protection in an increasingly challenging economic and demographic context.
Active ageing is not just about the participation of older workers in the labour market, it is also about older workers actively contributing to society through voluntary work, including as family carers, or living independently thanks to adapted housing and infrastructure. It is also a central part of the EU's Europe 2020 strategy and its efforts to reach the 75% employment target and to reduce the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion by at least 20 million by 2020.
What are the key results of the active ageing Eurobarometer survey?
Being old…when does it begin?
The survey shows that 63.9 is the average age at which one starts being regarded as old, but there is a difference of more than 10 years between countries – 70.4 years in the Netherlands and 57.7 years in Slovakia. Perceptions of old age also vary according to the age of the respondents. As the age of an individual increases, so does his/her views about when old age begins. 15-24 year olds believe that old age begins at the age of 59.1, while over 55s consider that old age begins at the age of 67.1. Women feel old age begins slightly later than men (65 years versus 62.7 years). Across the EU, citizens believe that a person is no longer regarded as being 'young' at the age of 41.8 years.
The population is getting older. Are citizens really concerned?
According to the survey, 71% of Europeans believe that, over the next 20 years, the proportion of people aged 65 and over in their country will increase. Over 80% of citizens in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, France and Finland expect that the population is ageing (eight out of ten respondents) whereas, citizens in Romania and Bulgaria only think that the proportion of those ageing is 30% and 38% respectively.
Worryingly, only 42% are concerned by this trend. Citizens in Portugal, Greece and Bulgaria seem to feel more concerned than other Europeans, whereas people in the Netherlands and Sweden seem to be least concerned, with only 28% and 19% feeling concerned. 40% of Europeans in the old Member States (EU-15) seem to be concerned in contrast to 49% in the new Member States (EU-12).
Do Europeans agree with an increase in retirement age?
Overall, six out of ten Europeans reject the idea that the retirement age needs to increase by 2030. This is higher among men, the 55s and over and the well-educated.
The vast majority of respondents in Romania (87%), Latvia (86%), Slovakia (83%) and Croatia (81%) disagree that the retirement age will need to increase in the future. By contrast, respondents in Denmark (58%), the Netherlands (55%), Ireland (53%), the UK (51%) and Austria (49%) recognise the need for the official retirement age to rise.
Should people be allowed to continue working beyond retirement age?
Almost two thirds of Europeans believe they should be allowed to continue working beyond the official retirement age. There are variations across Member States. At one extreme, nine out of ten respondents in Denmark and the Netherlands believe that they should be able to do so, while only three out of ten respondents believe so in Greece, Romania, Italy and Slovenia.
One third of Europeans currently in work say that they would like to continue working after they become entitled to a pension. This proportion ranges from over half of the respondents in Denmark, the UK, Estonia and Latvia to just over 20% in Spain and Italy and 16% in Slovenia. Moreover, the older they get, the more people are likely to want continue working longer: 41% of people aged 55 and over tend to be keener on working beyond the age at which they are entitled to a pension, in contrast to younger respondents (ranging between 30% to 33%).
What would encourage Europeans to work after the official retirement age?
Working arrangements seem to encourage people to work longer for example, combining part time work and a partial pension is more appealing than full retirement to almost two thirds of Europeans. Many Europeans consider that the lack of gradual retirement options hinders longer careers. More Europeans (69%) in the 15 Member States which joined the EU first (EU-15) find the idea of a combined part-time work and partial pension more appealing than full retirement – compared with 52% of those in the EU12.
Are Europeans involved in voluntary work?
One in four Europeans engage in an organised way in voluntary work. Citizens in certain countries seem to be more prone to engaging in voluntary work than in others, for example in Sweden (55%) and the Netherlands (50%). In other countries like Portugal (6%) and Greece (8%), organised volunteering could also be less embedded in the culture.
Although 74% are not doing voluntary work per se, 67% of Europeans have performed some sort of 'unofficial' voluntary work during the last 12 months. 15% of Europeans take personally care of an older member of a family and 27% have done so in the past, but over a half (57%) have never done so. Women and those who are aged 55 are more likely than others to have looked after older family members.
What can governments and society do to help people take care of elderly?
Many Europeans believe that governments can do more to support carers, notably by helping them financially (44%), by offering the possibility of working flexible hours (38%), through carer's leave (35%) and by offering pension credits for care time (33%).
Remuneration of carers was most frequently mentioned in Slovakia (65%) and Sweden (61%). Flexible working hours was cited by over half of the respondents in Iceland (57%), Denmark (56%), Cyprus (53%) and the Netherlands (52%). Most people in Denmark feel that being able to leave one's job temporarily would be useful (55%).
How 'age-friendly' is our environment?
More than half of Europeans (57%) feel that their country is 'age-friendly' and almost two thirds (65%) believe so as far as their local area is concerned.
Younger people tend to feel more positively about the 'age-friendliness' of their countries than older people (60% of those aged 15-24 compared to 55% of those aged 55 and over). Those who live in rural areas describe their local area as 'age-friendly' more often than those who live in large towns.
Improvements most frequently mentioned are facilities for older people to stay fit and healthy (42%), better public transport (40%) and roads and road safety (31%). Public areas such as parks (25%), commercial premises (17%) and public buildings (15%) seem to be regarded as less problematic.
Is technology an obstacle for older people when interacting with public services and businesses?
The use of information technologies by public services and businesses to interact with the public is a major obstacle for older people according to 53% of Europeans. People aged 40-54 and 55 and over believe this more than others (56%).
Nine out of ten of citizens in Sweden, in the Netherlands, in Denmark and in the Czech Republic perceive technology as an obstacle, whilst only five out of ten feel the same in Romania.

Googlereported first-quarter earnings that beatWall Street's expectations on Thursday, while revenue was in-line with expectations.
The company also announced plans to create a new class of non-voting capital stock, which will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, in what is essentially a dividend its paying to shareholders — in stock form.
The announcement, which came in the form of a "founders' letter" from CEO Larry Page and co-founder Sergey Brin, came as Page completed a year after his return as chief executive. (Click to read the full text of the letter.)
Under the new plan, the owner of each existing share will receive one new share of the non-voting stock, the company said. This will give investors twice the number of shares they had before in what is effectively a two-for-one stock split — though this new class is nonvoting.
Google said the split is something investors have been asking for. In addition, employees given Google stock in the future will get the non-voting share, allowing voting power to remain with existing shareholders.
But the buzz on thetrading flooris that this stock split is not the type of dividend that investors had been hoping for.
"The stock split has nothing to do with the fundamentals of the business," said Steve Weinstein, an analyst with ITG Investment Research. "In theory, it makes the stock more accessible to smaller investors. I don't think it's material."
Earnings excluding items rose to $10.08 per share from $8.08 a share in the year-earlier period.
Net income was $2.89 billion, compared with $1.80 billion in the year-ago period
Revenue was $8.14 billion, a 24-percent increase from $6.54 billion a year ago.
Analysts had expected the company to report earnings excluding items of$9.65a share on $8.15 billion in revenue, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
"There are not a ton of surprises here (in the quarter), it may be a little bit better than expected," he added. "Costs have been well controlled."
In the previous quarter, Google stunned Wall Street with a rare miss of analysts' profit and revenue expectations, driving its stock down more than 10 percent. (Click here to get after-hour quotes for Google.)

About The Condition Of Kawaii Squishies
Kawaii Squishies are NOT FOR CONSUMPTION and are not for children under the age of 8.
Please note that some Kawaii Squishy items do have a slight smell from the paint applied. This smell should dissipate after a few days.
Kawaii Squishies may have defects or become defective after you squish them. Some may have air bubbles, small marks or inconsistent paint design. These are not defects but part of the product. These products are primarily hand made so the perfect squishy is not always possible. This is how the manufacturers make Kawaii Squishies.
Sprinkles or attached fruit or designs glued on to the squishies may fall off the product, this is out of our control. After squishing, some squishies may become weaker more quickly than others resulting in cracks, holes, rips, changes in texture, etc. Some items may be scented and some will have a stronger scent than others.

Some people will hate this device; we love it. It's a tiny, easy to wear, GPS-equipped 5MP camera that automatically takes a picture every 30 seconds. The picture gets geotagged and uploaded to a server for indefinite and limitless storage when you connect the device to a PC for a battery charge, thus creating a precise log of your life that you can revisit at anytime. Memoto does this as long as it has battery, and its small energy requirements means that this is a period of about two days. There are no buttons: it just takes pictures, tags them with GPS and orientation info (through its built-in accelerometer, so the pictures always come out upright), and uploads. And as long as you're paying the small recurring fee for the service, you can access the timeline of your life, locate where you were, what you were doing, when, with who… A related application organizes the pictures for you, and groups them into "moments" that you can relive in a stop-motion type of animation. It's. Just. Awesome.
Of course, there are privacy concerns. To address this, the uploaded pictures are encrypted, and only shared when you choose to do so. There's also the creep factor. Well, the camera only turns off when you store it away in darkness, so your friends will know that as long as you're wearing the Memoto, they may be photographed. This takes away the uncertainty that could come with some other similar devices, like Google Glass. If they really hate it, just put it away. As for the legality of it, the company says that as long as you're not asked to stop taking pictures, it's ok. We're not so sure, but obviously there's a context for everything. Don't bring these to, say, a gentleman's club.
It's a Kickstarter project at the moment, and boy was it funded fast! Within 5 hours Memoto reached it's goal. It's now sitting at $243,000 after only asking for $50k. Clearly there's a huge demand for this. There are still some places left on the second batch of devices at $249, though if you don't get in on that, you'll have to pay the full $279 expected retail price and wait until April. The 2nd batch has an expected delivery in March.

If you say that tomb raiders primarily want money and archeologists primarily want knowledge, then I would say that the manual laborers that work for the archeologist primarily want money.
If you say that an expedition made up of only volunteers would not be tomb raiders, then I would say that gaining knowledge is a form of making a profit in the sense that knowledge is a good that can be traded with others.
If you say that the buried people would consent to an archeological exposition and not consent to a raid, then I would give a slightly sly comment along the lines of 'Citation Needed'.
If you say, "Because modern society allows for archeological expositions and human nature does not change with time, then ancient societies would allow archeological expositions," then I would say that human nature does not change in the individual level, but it does on the social level e.g. different society have different views on pedophilia*. I would also preface this with a statement informing you that your second premise is debatable, but I will accept it as true, because we cannot debate about it without becoming sidetracked.
*To make sure that I did not say anything stupid, I read this paper on pedophilia in ancient Greece. It has one of the best sentences ever published in an academic setting: "The invalidity of their argument is due to the fact that they are going about everything in the wrong way.
So, what do you guys think?

Central PA 4th Fest will fill Happy Valley with fireworks, music and fun
Central PA 4th Fest will fill Happy Valley with fireworks, music and fun
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Bernie Keisling has his own Big Bang Theory -- if you make a big enough pyrotechnic bang, people will come in droves.
As executive director of Central PA 4th Fest, he leads a celebration on Thursday that annually attracts 60,000 to 80,000 people to Penn State and culminates with a 45-minute fireworks display powered by nearly 12,000 shells, filling Happy Valley with a kaleidoscope of color.
The display has earned national attention, including a No. 4 ranking among the world's best fireworks shows by The Travel Channel and Discovery.com. Some of the pyrotechnics will only be visible to those in the VIP viewing area, where admission is $25. (There's no cost for viewing fireworks from other areas or for the day's entertainment; general parking is available for a suggested donation of $10 per vehicle. VIP parking is $20 per vehicle and $30 for a recreational vehicle.)
"It's a typical 4th Fest fireworks show," Keisling said. "This is a very highly rated show because of the size and the close proximity from the VIP viewing area."
The grand finale, according to Keisling, is a ground-rumbling spectacle, so intense that there's no mistaking that the end is near. Last year's finale featured 42 shells going off each second for more than a minute, he said.
"We know how to do a big ending," said Keisling, now in his 10th year as director.
Other big things at 4th Fest, spread throughout the University's East Campus, include 21 bands playing on three stages, the Parade of Heroes featuring helium balloons as long as 55 feet and as tall as 35 feet, and a 14-foot American flag birthday cake. Funding from 220 sponsors and an army of approximately 580 volunteers make it all happen.
"It is amazing that they're as dedicated and supportive as they are," said Keisling.
With rain in the forecast, Keisling insisted the celebration is a rain or shine event, and that precipitation won't dampen the fireworks.
"The show goes on. … We know how to shoot in the rain," he said.
The Firecracker 4K run kicks off the day at 9 a.m., starting near the Bryce Jordan Center, and according to Keisling, a record attendance nearing 1,200 is expected. In it's second year, the Parade of Heroes begins at 2 p.m. in front of the State College Municipal Building, passes through the downtown area, enters campus and ends at the Intramural Building. Also a team of lumberjacks from Minnesota will show their skills in 11 different events at 4:30, 6 and 7:30 p.m. Members of the audience will have the chance to get a quick lesson on logrolling and be able to test their balance on a log floating in a giant pool.
"The public is encouraged to bring a change of clothes, and we're told that everybody ends up in the water," Keisling said.

Should There Be A Right To Copyright Exceptions?
from the something-in-the-air dept
Last month I wrote about how the Netherlands is looking to introduce new flexibilities into its copyright laws, based on some interesting research on copyright exceptions. There must be something in the air, because a wide range of other groups are contemplating exactly the same approach.
For example, the main document of the UK government's consultation on copyright (pdf) devotes no less than 65 pages to the area, proposing exceptions for private copying, preservation by libraries and archives, research and private study, text and data mining, parody, news reporting, and use by the disabled, among others.
On the other side of the globe, during the Melbourne round of the secret TPP negotiations, a group of high-powered tech companies have been urging the inclusion of copyright exceptions as part of that treaty. As Sean Flynn explains:
the Computers and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) -- representing tech companies like Google, Facebook, E-Bay and Yahoo -- has been circulating a new proposal for adding copyright limitations and exceptions to "permit the smooth functioning of the Internet." It is incredibly well researched and supported and includes some good ideas. My favorite among them is a proposal for mandatory flexible limitations and exceptions to copyright in every system:
Finally, and perhaps most surprisingly, the French copyright enforcement body, HADOPI, has released a detailed questionnaire on copyright exceptions (pdf in French) as part of its research into the subject. Here's the introduction explaining the thinking behind the move:
"Such exceptions and limitations shall permit the utilization of works and other subject-matter to the extent justified by the purpose of free expression (including commentary, criticism, and news reporting), participation in the cultural life of the community, transformative use, teaching, research, scholarship, personal use, and the functioning of, and innovation in, the digital environment, provided that such utilization is consistent with fair practice."
Exceptions to copyright and neighboring rights represent the search for a balance between the need to respect copyright and neighboring rights and that of allowing the use of works with areas of freedom for the benefit of users.
That's pretty bold, and extremely welcome coming from this particular organization, which hitherto has seemed to be more aligned with the maximalist view of copyright. If even HADOPI can see the need for not just copyright exceptions, but a generalized right to exceptions, maybe there is hope after all.
This balance seems challenged today. Indeed, the development of new technologies, leading to new uses of works, (internet, social networks, streaming, cloud, scanning ...) and blurring the line between private and public, calls into question a law developed in part for a completely different context, and insufficiently adapted to these new uses.
This challenge is twofold. First, from a legal viewpoint, the current texts on exceptions do not take into account these technical developments and current uses of works in a fully satisfactory manner. This results in an increasing reliance on rights other than intellectual property, in particular Community law, in order to circumvent imperfections (competition law, human rights ...). Secondly, in terms of use, the ease with which a work may be appropriated and transmitted seems to render meaningless the concept of exceptions and raises the question of their suitability for the current context.
It therefore seemed useful to Hadopi to undertake this project to take stock of the issues and, where appropriate, make recommendations to address shortcomings of the present system and attempt to define a more satisfactory balance representing a new consensus. This new balance would not be limited to amending and supplementing the exceptions to copyright and neighboring rights, it could aim to establish a "right to exception" or a "right of exception", including the development of an independent legal doctrine, enforceable before judges and on a par with intellectual property law.

The two have not been officially identified, but police said the families of Jim Langei, 43, and Sterling Taylor, 33, have been notified. The two lived aboard a 42-foot boat that burned and sank in Friday's fire at the Squalicum Harbor. They owned the America's Cup coffee shop near the marina. Police said a 911 call from the boat indicated the two were trapped. Their boat was one of as many as 10 boats destroyed in the fire. Witnesses reported hearing fuel tank explosions as a black cloud drifted over downtown Bellingham, which is about 80 miles north of Seattle. The fire was difficult to fight because of its size, and crews didn't have a fire boat, Fire Department Assistant Chief Roger Christensen said at the time. The city decommissioned an old fire boat last year and didn't have the money to replace it. It took nearly a week to recover the bodies because the roof of the boathouse had collapsed on the boats. High winds delayed a barge with a crane needed to remove debris. Divers started rigging debris for the crane Wednesday and removed the roof debris. Officials expect the investigation into the cause of the fire and cleanup work will take several weeks. Officials are unsure how many boats were in the boathouse at the time. They haven't estimated the property loss in dollars. The vessels were high-end fiberglass pleasure boats about 40 feet in length.

U.S. Says Russian Artillery Firing Across Border Into Ukraine
Washington Raises Pressure on Moscow, More Closely Examines Russian Activities in Ukraine
WASHINGTON—U.S. defense and diplomatic officials said Thursday that Russia is firing artillery across its border at Ukrainian military positions, an assertion that Moscow now is directly engaging in hostilities against Ukrainian government forces.
The accusation represents a harsh new U.S. stance against the Kremlin in the aftermath of the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, downed last Thursday by an antiaircraft missile. The U.S. has been accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of supporting armed pro-Russia separatists...

OH, OH . .. A Bethel student puts campus living standards to the
test and finds them wanting.
Referendum Ruled Void t e CLAR ION
toral situations and their seminary
These professors have recog-nized
the importance of working
with the individual student go-ing
into the ministry before his
enrollment in seminary. The pre-sem
speech training would be
structured to promote two ob-jectives.
First, the program would aim
at the essential background for
seminary that the pre-theology
student needs. In the realm of
speech, it would help bridge the
gap between the proficiency the
college graduate needs and what
he actually can produce.
However, the value of the pro-gram,
according to Rott, goes
far beyond the course work in-volved.
The unique factor in this
training will be the personal at-tention
given to the student.
The department staff will main-tain
a personal file on each stu-dent
which will be evaluated per-iodically.
Prior to seminary en-rollment
all the data will be de-veloped
into a single critique. This
will be discussed with the semi-nary
instructor and passed on to
him. Seven years of individual
guidance in speech communica-beled
the whole condition of cam-pus
cleanliness "disgraceful."
But all is not dark with despair.
At least the sidewalks were kept
free of ice this winter.
Bethel Finds Clean Living Difficult
The amendment to the Bethel
College Student Association con-stitution
regarding H.P.R. require-ments
will be submitted to refer-endum
a second time tomorrow,
March 15. Polls will open at 12
noon and close at 4 p.m.
The amendment would remove
the academic requirements for
holding office which are now giv-en
by the constitution. The con-stitution
now requires a 2.5 honor
point ratio for candidates for ex-ecutive
offices, and 2.0 for candi-dates
seeking member-at-large,
class, or corporate member offi-ces.
The above amendment was ap-proved
in a referendum March 1
by a 2:1 margin with less than
10 percent of the student body
participating. Following voting, an
appeal was made to the election
board and a motion entered in
the senate requesting a second re-ferendum
in view of certain ir-regularities,
particularly regarding
publicity. The election then ruled
the referendum void, and resched-uled
it for March 15.
The election board explained its
action to the Clarion in a release
earlier this week: "The election
board declared the previous ref-erendum
void in that the proposed
amendment was not posted a week
before the polls opened. Also the
election board questioned the clar-ity
on the ballot marking proce-dure.
These rulings were made
after an appeal of the referendum
was submitted by Lynn Bergfalk."
The amendment was also, accord-ing
to senators, the prime factor
in an almost unprecedented move
by the Senate this week. The sen-ate
met last Monday evening in
an unqTJ)P.duleci session called by
a petition of ten senators. Nearly
perfect attendance by members
was recorded.
A motion asking that the refer-endum
of March 1 be declared
null and void, and that the amend-ment
be resubmitted to the Asso-ciation,
had been placed on the
senate agenda by L. Ray Sammons.
Tim Gibson, noting that the
election board had ruled the ref-

Sponsors Forum
Pi Gamma Mu invites the cam-pus
to an open forum on Tuesday,
March 19, at 8:30 P.M. in the Pres-ident's
Dining Hall. The topic for
the evening is "The Christian
Looks at the Welfare State."
The discussion will center
around the film, Beyond These
Hills, featuring Dr. Billy Graham.
This film has been referred to as
Dr. Graham's "conversion" to the
Poverty Program.
Dr. James Johnson, professor of
history, and Dr. David 0. Moberg,
professor of sociology, will also
be present to comment on the
film. Come prepared for an infor-mal
discussion. Refreshments will
be served.
erendurn of March 1 void, moved
to table the motion indefinitely.
Gibson's motion was seconded and
carried 7 to 5, with five senators
abstaining, including the three sen-ators
who have declared candidacy
for student body president.
The senate motion and the ap-peal
to the election board cited
a number of factors as reason for
voiding the first referendum.
First, Article 'VIII, Section 3, A.,
of the constitution was violated in
that the amendment was not posted
for a full week previous to voting.
It had only been posted on the
day of referendum.
In addition, there were apparent
violations of the election code.
"Each ballot shall bear instruc-tions
for valid ballot marking" (Ar-ticle
II, Section 2, D.) was felt to
have been disregarded. The polls
were only open for three hours,
whereas the election code states
that "Polls shall be open for four
hours" (IV, 1, B.). Also, there were
reports of campaigning in the bal-loting
area which is contrary to
Other factors in the protest in-eluded
the absence of information
on the ballot specifying for what
"yes" and "no" stood, and the
omission of the present text of con-,
stitution, with only the text as
proposed by the amendment given.

Has Bethel lost the clean stan-dards
of living that have long
marked the Baptist tradition? In-creasing
numbers of alert students
faculty, and staff are beginning to
think so.
From various corners of the bi-ology
lab high on third floor to
the lowest mopboards in the col-lege
building's basement to the
far reaches of off-campus apart-ment
buildings, an accumulation
of dust and dirt is becoming readi-ly
Neglected washrooms in the
dorms, with dirty, cluttered floors
and clogged shower drains, irri-tate
residents whose hygiene flour-ished
under mother's meticulous
housekeeping in the not so distant
past. Inactive incinerators and ov-erflowing
rubbish cans have estab-lished
themselves at many strate-gic
spots on Bethel property, and
have even infiltrated adjoining
property at times with their prop-aganda,
although most neighbors
have not appreciated their "litter-ature."
Members of the Bethel commun-ity
have reacted unfavorably to
the situation. One individual, ob-
Personal interest in the student
has helped initiate a pre-seminary
speech program at Bethel. The
program, still in the planning sta-ges,
will go into operation next
Consultation between faculty
members of the speech department
and seminary instructors in preach-ing
has produced a basic frame-work
for the program, and de-tails
are being worked out with
the school's academic dean and
other departments of the college.
Bethel speech professor Dale
Rott, citing the importance of
communication in the ministry,
feels the program is needed to
keep abreast of progressive
trends in education.
Rott, along with two other mem-bers
of the Bethel faculty, Donald
Rainbow and James Mason, has
been working on skeletal plans
with Dr. Daniel Baumann and Dr.
Gordon Johnson of the seminary.
"The church-oriented attitudes
of the college emphasize the
need for a pre-seminary speech
program," Rork asserted.
"Strengthening the pre-sem stu-dent's
preparation for the minis-try
represents a valuable service
that the college can supply for
conference churches."
The inception of the idea owes
much to the personal experience
of the above men, as well as other
college and seminary faculty mem-bers
who are interested in the
operation of such a structured
program to guide the student. The
need for training of this nature
has become apparent to them
through their own work in pas-serving
that "during Founders
Week, the dust and grime were
so thick on the lower area of the
outer bookstore wall that one
could write his name in it," la-tion
is thus possible for a fresh-man
involved in the program.
Rott feels the critique sheet
will "provide an invaluable aid
in assessing a particular stu-dent's
strengths and weaknes-ses."
This individual attention

School Drops
Health Course
As Requirement
Beginning next fall, Bethel col-lege
students will no longer be
required to take the two-credit
health course as a requisite for
graduation. The Educational Poli-cies
Committee met to discuss the
possibility of dropping the course
from the required curriculum and
passed their favorable opinion on
such action to the faculty board.
The faculty also saw need of
such revision, and on Tuesday, the
fifth of March, voted to make the
change. Dr. Fagerstrom says the
reason for the change is due to
the fact that the health course
is repetitious of what students have
already had in the ever-advancing
junior high and high school cour-ses
and therefore it is no longer
essential to require the course on
the college level.

Academic Qualifications
Must Not Be Removed
The proposed constitutional amendment which would re-move
honor point ratio requirements from office-holding needs
to be evaluated by each member of the student body. Vested
personal interests and the rapidly approaching election dates
have succeeded in obscuring ,what should be obvious.
The question needs to be examined apart from personal
interests and concern over the approaching elections. Very
simply, is it prudent, for future years as well as the imme=
diate present, to remove academic qualifications from office-holding?
This was discussed in an editorial last week. The con-clusion
drawn then indicated that such action was not in the
best interests of the individual involved, the student body,
and the community as a whole.
Furthermore, the student body needs to reflect upon
whether or not the administration would view this kind of an
amendment as a demonstration of student maturity, especially
when their rules require a 2.0 h.p.r. for participation in various
activities, including executive offices. The Bethel College Stu-dent
Association constitution was drawn up with this as an un-derlying
The handling of the March 1 referendum itself seems to
indicate hesitation on the part of some to expose the change
to rigorous expection by the student body. The only advance
publicity for the referendum was a largely unnoticed slip of
two sentences which came out in P.O. boxes a week before
the vote. It did not even inform students that the amend-ment
regarded the h.p.r. of candidates for office.
Voting on the referenum revealed that most students
didn't even know about it. Less than 10 percent of the stu-dent
association cast their votes.
When the results of the balloting had been tabulated,
the amendment had carried easily, with 70 percent of those
voting favoring the change. Since opinion on the change was
quite evenly divided, this was surprising. The figures seem
to indicate distribution of information was not uniform.
However, the election board has voided the results, and
students will be given a second chance to express their feeling
toward the change. The results could be revealing in regard
to the priority of values held by the student body; it will also
be interesting to compare them to the results of the first
Proponents of the amendment are chiefly pointing at
the 2.5 required for eexcutive positions as unrealistic. They
have some valid arguments. However, if this is the thrust of
their aims, they should have advocated a straight 2.0 average,
and not a wholesale removal of academic standards.
As the amendment stands now, it is unacceptable. It ex-poses
too many vulnerable areas, and violates the administra-tion-
faculty trust that underlies the student association consti-tution.
Reassessment of the 2.5 h.p.r. qualification — yes; eli-mination
of all academic standards — NO.
A GOOD TEACI-V... [30 SoM5TLMES NOT VE R-(
Christian Community Must Avoid
Modern Currents Of Sucjectiveism
by Terry Carlson
The Bethel Student Senate con-vened
this week amid glances of
disbelief and gasps of incredulity
as the attendance on the part of
senators swelled to a near perfect
mark. This phenomena was accom-panied
by the passage of a propo-sal
by Jim Magnuson concerning
the better half of the Bethel com-munity.
Essentially the junior senator
moved that the Student Associa-tion
"appoint a committee to in-vestigate
the rules governing wo-men
residents in school-owned
buildings." Part of the motion men-tioned
that as of now certain
discrepancies exist in women's
hours between dorm and manor
That is, as a general rule for
dorm residents, curfew is 10:30
P.M., and manor hours extend to
1:00 P.M. Mr. Magnuson posed the
question as to whether it takes
manor residents a half hour to
reach the manor from campus.
When one addresses himself to
this query in a serious manner,
the reply obviously must be "No!"
Are not Bethel women noted to
be fast?
In spite of a reputation for vig-orous
protest, toppling govern-ments,
and confrontation politics,
students are a very conservative
group, DAEDALUS, the Journal
of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences, points out in a spe-cial
issue on "Students and Poli-tics."
Even in Latin America, activists
"are in a minority, often very
small," Seymour Martin Lipset, au-thor
and professor of government
at Harvard University, writes in
an introductory essay "In most
countries the vast majority of stu-dents
are apolitical, and tend to
endorse the moderate or even the
conservative parties."
Other observations in the jour-nal
contradict sterotyped ideas
about students.
Though students may provoke
political action, they seldrom bring
it to fruition; the support of other
groups is mandatory if any real
change is to take place. Political
parties which do not repudiate
students efforts are most liable
to benefit from them.
Student activism varies signifi-cantly
according to discipline.
"Those disciplines that are thought
of as 'intellectual' — the humani-ties
and most of the social sciences
—are more activist and leftist than
The Deeper Life, or whatever
one calls a renewed Christian com-mitment,
is an experience of the
whole man. A mature religious
sentiment attempts to make a com-mitment
to God the unifying fac-tor
of life. As one's religious per-cepion
is heightened, he begins
to view more of life's experiences
from a religious perspective.
This desire to synthesize more of
life experiences is a process re-quiring
all the faculties of man; it
is truly a holistic enterprise. The
attempt to fragment religious ex-periences
into intellectual, voli-tional,
and emotive components is
those that are oriented toward the
professional or scientific world,"
Lipset writes.
This relationship also varies,
however, from country to country:
"Medicine has a leftist aura in
various Latin countries in the Am-ericas
and Europe, but is tradi-tionally
quite conservative in most
of northern Europe and the Anglo-phonic
University systems with demand-ing
class and academic schedules
allow for less unrest than those
depending primarily upon exami-nations.
In Latin America, where exami-nations
"are not so important or
may be postponed," students are
free for political action.
Parents' political attitudes show
a "high correlation" with the poli-tics
of their children. Children of
poorer families tend to be less ac-tive
politically because they are
"strongly oriented toward upward
mobility . . . concentrated on ca-reerist
professional objectives,"
and need to work as well as study.
"Social status seems more import-ant
than economic class back-ground
in affecting propensity for
Student unrest is greatest when
the society is changing rapidly or
is felt to be "backwards." The stu-dent
feels alienated from tradition-a
perversion of man's basic psycho-logical
Religion viewed historically,
however, reveals in its dialectic
nature the foible of denying man's
holistic nature. As one age over
emphasizes the objectivity of
Christian doctrine and its ration-al
cogency, inevitably there devel-ops
a romantic reaction that stress-es
the subjective value of Christi-anity.
The challenge facing every age
and every individual is to estab-lish
a proper balance between
these two approaches. A vital reli-gion
must meet the needs of the
al values and finds that his edu-cation
is not relevant to the new
situation or that society cannot
offer him a professional career
when graduated.
"Confrontation politics is char-acteristic
of politics in which stu-dents,
and other groups as well,
lack legitimate channels of com-munication
to authority."
This factor can also affect "right-ist"
behavior, evidenced by con-temporary
groups in several coun-tries,
and, most dramatically, by
German youth in the thirties.
"Rightist students were national-istic,
anti-authority, and concerned
with the seeming inferiority of
their nation within the world com-munity."
In many countries, local univer-sity
issues—housing, tuition, food
—are the only ones which can
evoke mass protest. When this sen-timent
can be 'linked—often delib-erately
by student leaders from
major party groups—with national
issues, a vigorous protest move-ment
can result, only to die when
local demands are met or disap;
Conservative, preoccupied with
career and other immediate con-,
cerns, most students are far from
being fiery radicals intent on bet-tering
the lot of mankind.
mind and the heart. Christianity
must both explain life and make
it meaningful.
Contemporary religion, in both
theology and practice, is lost in
a welter of subjectivity. Current
theology cannot meet the demands
of the intellect for it is unable to
describe conceptually the object of
its worship. Modern man has lost
faith in a reasoned exegesis of the
scriptures, in the adequacy of the
theistic world view, and in the his-torical
reality of the Christian mes-sage.
As a result modern religious
dialogue has degenerated to the
point where all one can express
is how he feels as he experiences
God. Men's religious concern has
been limited to his own immediate
existence. This radical individual-ism
has resulted in the denial of
the valdity of self-transcendence
to give balance to life.
Even •evangelicals in their zeal
to acquaint others with a personal
relationship with Christ have ne-glected
the objective basis of such
a relationship. While the early
church witnessed to the historical
death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ, too often modern man has
been content to rest his case on
personal experience.
The perils of subjectivity are
also present at the personal level.
The intensely personal experience
tends to divorce itself from the
real world. The crisis conversion
or the radical encounter loses its
grip on man unless it is related to
the totality of life. The intensely
meaningful experience may reveal
itself to be meaningless.
The challenge to man is to de-velop
a mature Christian relation
that will last a lifetime—and an
eternity—and meet the problems
of life. Thus the Christian needs
not only an encouter, but also a
world view.
The challenge also confronts the
Christian community as a whole.
If it can present a balanced ap-proach
to life and an intelligi-ble
world view, it will continue to
be a compelling force in human
history. If it is swept up by the
subjectivism of our age, it will in-evitably
die with that age.

The final two events for this
year's women's cage team were a
play-day at Winona and a game
with Augsburg. At the play-day
Bethel won two and lost one of
their games, and against Augsburg
they were downed 51-34.
St. Cloud and St. Olaf were hand-ed
losses by Bethel in the play-day
competition while the U of M nar-rowly
edged Bethel 20-16. Barb
Lindaman was Bethel's top scorer
for the day as she had a three-,
game total of 45 points.
In their return game with Augs-burg
the Bethelites were hoping
for more fruitful results, but after
falling far behind in the early min-utes
they could not take command.
While Bethel suffered extreme
shooting difficulty in the first
quarter and scored only 3 points,
Augsburg was burning up the)

total of 21 points.
At 'the half the situation hadn't
improved, and Bethel was still
down 34-11. Bethel's third and
fourth quarters improved some-,
what offensively, but the effort
was not in time to win the game.
For the season, Bethel stands
with four wins and six losses. Barb
Lindaman, a senior, wins undisput-ed

an impressive 227 points for the

Past years have decisively shown that spring participation
in individual and team intramural sports has been very slack
indeed. Yes, a few individuals have tested their track, ping
pong, handball, and paddleball skills in intramural competi-tion,
but the fact remains that the great majority of Bethel
students are totally uninvolved.
Volleyball and co-rec badminton were tried last year,
and are again on the agenda for this year. However, in addi-tion
to these two, there are many other exciting possibili-ties.
How does the idea of a co-rec doubles tennis tournament
grab you? Individual tournaments in both tennis and badmin-ton
for men and women could also be arranged. Other possi-bilities
include intramural softball and an intramural golf
Finally, one sport which I think could prove to be very
worthwhile on both a varsity and intramural level is bowling.
A regular weekly co-rec intramural bowling league, set up
on a handicap basis, could be very exciting.
I'm quite sure that some very reasonable, cheap rates
could be arranged provided that a fairly large group of students
get behind the idea. Also, such a league would be a great way
to strengthen male-female relationships here at Bethel.
Could you see giving the idea a chance this spring on a
six-week trial basis? Then if it works out well we could or-ganize
the league again next fall for a longer period of time.
Intramural sports could be very worthwhile and success-ful
at Bethel College! Students, why don't each one of you
seriously consider making a contribution to intramural ath-letics
by participating?
The Clarion would appreciate student reaction (verbal or
written) to any one or all of these suggestions in the very near

The pitching prospects for this
year appear to be stronger than
in past seasons. Lowell Richard-son,
who compiled an outstand-ing
record in American Legion
ball, is considered to be Bethel's
best pitching prospect ever.
Dan Gross, the leading hurler
of 1967, also returns. Gross com-piled
a 4-5 record last year despite
a 3.10 earned run average. Other
moundsmen who lettered last year
were Dennie Williams and Murray
Sitte. The pitching corps is fur-ther
strengthened by the appear-ance
of newcomers Bob Brodin and
Rich Swanson.
The outfield positions are un-settled
because of the gradua-tion
of all three starters. Fresh-man
Steve Hanson is expected
to handle one of the positions
with Bill Painter, John Delich,
and Dave Anderson vying to fill
the other spots.
Catching for the third straight
year will be Bill Englund. Other
players who are expected to make
valuable contributions are Don
Craft and Tom Mesaros.
Highlights of this year's schedule
are t h e season opening double-header

Knitted sweater in recycled wool with a soft, warm collar. Perfect for cold days.
Wool is a classic in outdoor life: light, soft and warm. For Greenland Re-Wool Sweater, Fjällräven has taken a soft melange yarn made from recycled wool, and knitted a comfortable everyday favourite for cold days. Its high collar warms the neck and can be opened up for ventilation.
For over 50 years Fjällräven has had a strong driving force, to develop products that make it easier for people to enjoy the countryside. Their functional, durable and timeless designs sets Fjällräven apart from their competition. The company is best known for its durable and adaptable G-1000 fabric found in many of their products.
Åke Nordin may not have known that he was creating an international company when he turned his passion of creating backpacks into Fjällräven, back in 1960, but since then Fjällräven's products has sold in over 20 countries. Since its Örnsköldsvik beginnings, Fjällräven has continued to produce innovative, functional products which are appreciated by generations of outdoor enthusiasts across the world and which have also received a number of distinguished awards over the years.
From its very first innovative framed backpacks and lightweight outdoor jackets, Fjӓllrӓven has stayed true to its original mission, not only through the products they produce but their stance on protecting the environment that they draw their inspiration from. Fjӓllrӓven is always looking for new ways to reduce its environmental impact; from its innovative, PFC-free Eco-Shell fabric to its highly ethical and fully traceable Down-sourcing programme.
