Captain Beefheart, aka Don Van Vliet, Dead at 69 - CBS News
Captain Beefheart, aka Don Van Vliet, Dead at 69 - CBS News
(AP) Updated 7:29 a.m. ET
Musician and artist Don Van Vliet, who performed a complex brand of experimental rock under the name Captain Beefheart, died Friday. He was 69.
The Michael Werner Gallery in New York confirmed Van Vliet's death in California due to complications stemming from multiple sclerosis. The gallery exhibits his paintings.
Van Vliet was probably best known for the album "Trout Mask Replica," which was released in 1969 by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
The album's angular, dissonant take on blues rock and Van Vliet's growling, surreal lyrics put him outside the mainstream, but staked his place in rock history.
Rolling Stone magazine recently ranked "Trout Mask Replica" number 58 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album was produced by fellow experimental rock pioneer Frank Zappa, a high school friend from the desert town of Lancaster, Calif.
"Record producers have always been certain that Don Vliet was just a hype away from the big money," according to a 1970 profile in Rolling Stone. "But Beefheart stubbornly continues what he's doing and waits patiently for everyone else to come around."
By shunning commercial success and a more accessible sound, Van Vliet became a role model for subsequent generations of musicians. His music is cited as an influence on the rise of punk, post-punk and new wave. Beefheart is also claimed as a kindred spirit by free jazz musicians and avant-garde classical composers.
In the 1980s, Van Vliet turned full-time to art. He painted in a raw, expressionistic style and showed his acclaimed work widely even as he withdrew from the public eye.
He is survived by his wife of more than 40 years.

Amanda Knox Makes Emotional Address In Italy Appeal
I found the following story on the NPR iPad App:
http://www.npr.org/2010/12/11/131986779/amanda-knox-makes-emotional-address-in-italy-appeal?sc=ipad&f=1001
by The Associated Press
AP - December 11, 2010
Convicted murderer Amanda Knox broke into tears as she made an emotional address to an appeals court in Italy, saying Saturday she is the innocent victim of an "enormous mistake" and that her life had been "broken" by three years in jail.
In a powerful 20-minute address to the court, the 23-year-old American reached out to the family of Meredith Kercher, the British girl she was convicted of killing and sexually assaulting in 2007 when they were roommates on a student exchange program in Perugia.
Knox denied being the "dangerous, diabolical, uncaring, violent" person described by the prosecution.
Last year, Knox was convicted and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Also convicted of the same charges was Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who is Knox's ex-boyfriend. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Both deny wrongdoing, and have appealed the verdict.
The appeals trial formally opened last month but that hearing was immediately adjourned. With Saturday's hearing, the new proceedings got into full swing.
"I am innocent. Raffaele is innocent. We did not kill Meredith," said Knox, speaking Italian, and her voice breaking. "It doesn't' do justice to Meredith and her loved ones to take our lives from us."
Silence fell on the courtroom as Knox started speaking, with her step-father Chris Mellas and her university friend Madison Paxton in attendance. Paxton, who was crying during her friend's speech, said later she had never been "so proud of anybody in my life."
Knox has addressed the court in the previous trial but never for as long or as passionately. She said she regretted not being able to fully speak her mind before, saying that words don't come easily to her and that she has a difficult time standing up for herself.
In the United States, the coverage of the case has been largely favorable to the American and critical of the Italian handling of the case. Some raised doubts over the investigation and the collecting of forensic evidence allegedly linking Knox and Sollecito to the crime.
"I stand here more scared than ever, not because I am or I have ever been afraid of the truth," she said, "but because the truth has not been recognized."
She was in tears as she said she thinks of Kercher as a dear friend she is "grateful and honored" to have met.
In the previous trial, Knox had described Kercher as a friend whose death had shocked her. On Saturday, she also turned her thoughts to the victim's family.
"I'm very sorry Meredith is no longer living," a tearful Knox said. "I too have little sisters and the idea of their suffering, their loss, terrifies me."
"What you are going through, and what Meredith was subjected to, is incomprehensible and unacceptable," she said.
The victim's father, John Kercher, wrote a piece in Britain's Daily Mail lamenting the fact that "since that act of horrific violence, Knox, it seems, has been accorded the status of a minor celebrity."
Kercher wrote that Knox's parents "have never expressed their condolences to our family for our grievous loss."
"There has been no letter of sympathy; no word of regret," he wrote. "Instead, I have watched them repeatedly reiterate the mantra of their daughter's innocence."
Knox said it took her time to come to terms with her new life, saying "I was in prison, my photo was everywhere." She lamented what she said were "insidious, unjust, mean" reports of her private life. While the American press has largely been sympathetic to Knox, reports in Britain and Italy have often described her as a devious, manipulative woman.
"I can never get used to this broken life," she said. "I still don't know how to face all this, except than to be myself."
In their December ruling, the court said that on the night of the murder, Knox and Sollecito were at the house with a fourth person, Rudy Hermann Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen who has also been convicted of murder in separate proceedings. Knox and Sollecito assisted Guede's sexual desire for Kercher, becoming her brutal assailants together with the Ivorian man and ultimately killing the 21-year-old when she resisted the sexual approach.
"How is it possible that I should have jumped at the opportunity to hurt my friend, be violent as if it were the natural thing to do?" Knox asked the court.
At the appeals trial, the defense lawyers for Knox and Sollecito are seeking a full review on the forensic evidence, including on disputed DNA evidence that was found on a knife allegedly used in the murder, and on the clasp of Kercher's bra.
The defense maintains that DNA traces were inconclusive, and also challenged that they may have been contaminated when they were analyzed. They also want new testimony to be heard.
The court is expected to rule on these requests at the next hearing, Dec. 18.
The prosecutors, who had sought life sentences, are also appealing the ruling, as they can in Italy. [Copyright 2010 The Associated Press]

Lady Gaga's WikiLeak
What is the difference between leaking music files and leaking government communications files? Both kinds of files are covered by laws. Who gets to decide? Should one man own the power to decide which laws should be ignored? Should one man have the power to decide which governments to embarrass? Should one man be in charge of choosing what to release to the public and thereby control international perception?
Should one man be the moral arbiter and compass of the world?

Data for a Better Planet
How should we use data to improve our lives?
By Michael Agger 
How long did it take you to get to work today? How long did it take you to get to work on this day last week? How long, on average, did it take you to get to work this month? My guess is that you have a rough idea but not the precise number. We tend to underestimate the length of our journey, since everyone likes to think they have a "short commute." Yet we may lose some measure of happiness because of this self-deception.
The Swiss economists Bruno Frey and Alois Stutzer argue that people do not appreciate the real cost of a long commute. And especially when that commute is unpredictable, it takes a toll on our daily well-being. Now, imagine if we shared our commuting information so that we could calculate the average commute from various locations around a city. When the growing family of four pulls up to a house for sale for in New Jersey, the listing would indicate not only the price and the number of bathrooms but also the rush-hour commute time to Midtown Manhattan. That would be valuable information to have, since buyers could realistically factor the tradeoffs of remaining in a smaller space closer to work against moving to a larger space and taking on a longer commute.
In a cover story for the New York Times Magazine, the writer Gary Wolf documented the followers of "The Data-Driven Life," programmers, students, and self-described geeks who track various aspects of their lives. Seth Roberts does a daily math exercise to measure small changes in his mental acuity. Kiel Gilleade is a "Body Blogger" who shares his heart rate via Twitter. On the more extreme end, Mark Carranza has a searchable database of every idea he's had since 1984.
They're not alone. This community continues to thrive, and its efforts are chronicled at a blog called the Quantified Self, co-founded by Wolf and Kevin Kelly. These folks represent the vanguard of an activity that appears a little nerdy and more than a little OCD, but one that will soon be second nature. If you've ever asked Nike+ to log your runs or given Google permission to keep your search history, you've participated in a bit of self-tracking. Now that more people have location-aware smartphones and the Web has made data easy to share, personal data is poised to become an important tool to understand how we live, and how we all might live better.
One great example of this phenomenon in action is the site Cure Together, which allows you to enter your symptoms—for, say, "anxiety" or "insomnia"—and the various remedies you've tried to feel better. One thing the site does is aggregate this information and present the results in chart form. Here is the chart for depression:
Instead of being isolated in your own condition, you can now see what has worked for others. The same principle is at work at the site Fuelly, where you can "track, share, and compare" your miles per gallon and see how efficient certain makes and models really are.
Businesses are also using data tracking to spur their employees to accomplishing companywide goals: Wal-Mart partnered with Zazengo to help employees track their "personal sustainability" actions such as making a home-cooked meal or buying local produce. The app Rescue Time, which records all of the activity on your computer, gives workers an easy way to account for their time. And that comes in handy when you want to show the boss how efficient telecommuting can be.
These tools are simultaneously cool and useful. They're also just the beginning; there are countless ways to use data to improve society that we haven't yet figured out. That's where you come in. In this Hive, I'm asking Slate readers how we can use data to help us all. The city of Paris, for example, gave residents a watch that recorded noise levels and ozone levels and then mapped the results. The people behind Asthmapolis distribute an attachment to asthma inhalers with built-in GPS, and they are using this technology to help asthma sufferers better understand what sets off their attacks.
Your suggestion could be simply a good idea, a mobile app, or a yet-to-be-invented gadget. For example, Fitbit is a small clip that records such things as your sleeping patterns and how many steps you've taken. The Copenhagen wheel monitors carbon-monoxide levels, traffic, and noise data while you ride your bike. You may also think of a clever way to use existing data. Fabian Neuhaus took all of the geo-located tweets in Moscow and plotted the locales of that city's Internet boom. What about E-ZPass or Amazon purchases or Facebook updates or crime statistics? During the next month, I'll talk to people who are experimenting with data collection both in their own lives and on a larger scale in fields as diverse as transportation, productivity, and health care. Please share your good ideas here: What are some great ways that we can collect and analyze data to improve our lives? You can submit your idea from now through Friday, Dec. 3. I'll be tracking your most interesting ideas throughout the month. And don't forget to vote on the proposals you like best. In early December, I'll take a closer look at the three top-vote-getting ideas and write about them.
What are some great ways that we can collect and analyze data to improve our lives? The site Cure Together charts what treatments its members have found most effective for combating symptoms like insomnia or anxiety. Roadify lets you know when the bus is really coming based on information shared by others. The Copenhagen wheel monitors carbon-monoxide levels, traffic, and noise data while you ride your bike. These tools are just the beginning; tell us new ways to capture, chart, and share data that will be useful and surprising. You can submit your idea between now and Friday, Dec. 3. I'll be tracking your most interesting ideas, throughout the month. And don't forget to vote for the proposals you like best.
