Some of pop music's biggest female stars have been known to push limits in their music and style. From recurring dominatrix themes, we think some of these women are undercover freaks….and we like it!
Last month, Madonna and Katy Perry were nothing short of racy in their cover spread with V Magazine. It was a naughty leather-studded affair, featuring Katy Kat straddling Lady Madge, who was also bent over on all fours -and occasionally tied up on the couch. Purr, indeed! With a three-decade spanning career and 12 albums under her belt, the Queen of Pop still has the power to shock, and the power to bring the sexiness.
Of course, we won't forget how Rihanna went all sexy on us in her "S&M" video, insinuating all kinds of things that she'd like us to do (mostly involving chains and whips). Those visuals are burned in our brain forever, and we're thankful for it! She also stunned on a V Magazine dominatrix-themed cover spread last year with Kate Moss. Those photos looked haute and heavy. Na na na come on! Need we sing more?
And these are certainly not the last ladies of pop who seem to like it a little rough. All hail Lady Gaga who plays the freakiness card all the time, but as seen on her 2009 Maxim spread. And her every day out-and-about wear looks pretty kinky, too. But honestly, would you expect anything less from Mother Monster?
A lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets, head up to the gallery above for 10 women who we think are undercover dominatrixes.

Back in the day Chris Ingrassia wrote a document for us on what he thought the future of GIS would be, called the "The Once and Future Map". Two articles recently reminded of Chris's thoughts. The first was Don Meltz's blog post+comments "GIS is Dead – Long Live GIS", and the second was an article in ArcNews, "GIS Professionals Lead the GeoWeb Revolution". Thoughts around the topic have been proliferating across many blogs.
It is striking how diametrically divergent the views are in the two pieces. Granted one is title "GIS is Dead" and the other is written by the largest GIS vendor in the world. That said there are some very different thoughts about where our industry is headed. To provide a bit of context take Direction Magazine's Adena Schutzberg's comment to Meltz's post "The other thing to bear in mind, I think, is that "desktop GIS" is slowly dying, so learning it is not a long term career move." Then compare that to ArcNew's take, "Desktop GIS will continue to grow as the solution for most spatial analysis projects and the fundamental authoring platform for creating the majority of the geographic information on the GeoWeb."
I believe the main point of divergence centers on the role and future of the GIS professional. Meltz states "GIS is on it's way out as a profession"", while ArcNews states "GIS professionals are more relevant than ever". I actually think both statements have merit. Having a solid grasp of geographic concepts and theory is going to be increasingly relevant to a geo-enabled world, but access to technology tools to implement those concepts is going to increase dramatically. The current GIS practice of the map being a one directional work flow where GIS professionals create maps and the rest of the world is limited to viewing them is on the way out, if not already through the door.
The single directional flow of maps seen in the diagram in ArcNews is in the midst of being changed to a bi-directional flow. Society is creating maps and pushing data back to GIS professionals. The GIS professional is still very much part of the game, but not the gate keeper or sole purveyor of maps. The philosophy promoted in ArcNews that "the map…is a rich stand alone information product than must be designed carefully for end users (by GIS professionals)" is being bypassed by several technologies. There have been millions of Google MyMaps created. GeoCommons alone has over 14,000 maps designed by non-professionals. This includes thematic mapping and spatial/temporal analysis. SpatialKey, RhizaLabs, MapSpread and several others provide similar services for non-professionals.
I think statistics is the better analogy for where we've seen this shift in the past. For many years statistics was the domain of specialists who used packages like Stata, SPSS and SAS. Then spreadsheets came along allowing non-professionals to do basic statistical work. Over time spreadsheets became more complex allowing users to do more sophisticated statistical analysis, but statisticians are still alive and well. In fact many are saying statistics is one of the hot job prospects in the next ten years.
In short the destiny of GIS is not to be walled garden where the GIS professional dictates what can be a map. Instead it is a community where GIS professionals are a thriving participant contributing to a growing ecosystem of map creators and data contributors. The removal of the walls and control is critical to the science of GIS growing and its power being appreciated by the public. You can only appreciate a persons value when you've walked a mile in their shoes. We need to embrace both – what the map once was and what it will be in the future.

Very much agree here Sean. I think that GIS professionals are waking up to this very slowly. Thank you for the post.
Doug McCune says:
I think the comparison to statisticians is entirely accurate. Applied statistics in computer science has long been a field delegated to hardcore scientific research in academia. If you were a mainstream programmer the statistical knowledge required was minimal (hell, the amount of math required is almost inconsequential). But who's the hot commodity now being courted by the likes of Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc? It's statisticians. (see http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/06/technology/06stats.html)
It took technology to advance to a certain point to bring statisticians into the mainstream limelight. We needed storage to become so cheap we never had to throw data away. And now that we got there we have mountains of data, everything from what people are searching for, what they're buying, watching, reading, eating, etc. We have more data than we know what to do with. And so now statisticians are the hot shit.
I think a similar thing is going to happen with cartography. As mapping technology becomes a commodity and we have mountains of spatial data, we're going to see the resurgence of the cartographer (or statistician/cartographer). Suddenly when you have 20 million records to show the spread of a flu pandemic you need to do more than throw it on a map. You need to produce something meaningful. And so the barrier to entry to simply create a map will be completely removed, but the barrier to create a _meaningful_ map will always be there. And with the move we're seeing toward truly massive datasets, that distinction will become incredibly important.
So I agree that the knowledge of how to make a map (which for a long time has been the definition of GIS) will become irrelevant, but the knowledge of how to make a meaningful map (cartography and spatial analysis) will become more relevant than ever.

John Nelson says:
Thanks, Sean. You've distilled the unease around a shifting field that, depending on one's perspective, is terrifying and/or exciting. I remember distinctly as a GIS student some years back the paranoia hairs on my neck rising with hints of future obsolescence as each new consumer based map service was released. Your summary of respecting the merits of the consumer and professional is right on. Consumers will continue to provide freshness, data, and innovation, and professionals will (ought) to contribute to frameworks, improvement, and research. This defensive debate is no different than the one going on between Journalists and Bloggers (or, as you mentioned, the debate that went on between statisticians and spreadsheet users). The empowerment and relevance of any professional can be plotted by distinguishing between Training and Education. One locks students into the short term track of tool-bound button pushers and the other enables insight, ideas, and improvement. As the technical playing field levels by increasing access to tools and resources –just like in those other fields, the people with great ideas and capabilities will move the market forward. The danger of irrelevance is not when too many people are interested in your turf –but when nobody is.
Grady Meehan says:
I agree completely. Standing alone, in isolation, GIS doesn't have a future that is assured.
Business geography is the integration of GEOGRAPHIC REASONING + geographic technology (GIS) + geographic (geocoded) data to support the business decision (defined in Grant Thrall's book on, "Business Geography…."). Geographic reasoning is analogous to statistical reasoning, since it is critically important in complex data analysis and problem-solving.
Too many people focus on the software, thinking that a two day introductory enables the atended to become an expert. SAS and SPSS are only technologies used by statisticians to leverage their ability to harness and analyze large datasets to solve complex problems. Again, knowing how to use the software doesn't enable the user to solve complex statistical problems for decision-making.
GIS combines graphic capabilities of CAD software, database operations for data management and data query, with extended capabilities for spatial logic and map algebra), map projections (and knowledge of datums), all of which can be extended to include spatial statistics (geo-statistics). Each of these knowledge domains requires extensive study and understanding necessary to integrate each of them into a logical systems of analysis. Geographic visualization (mapping) also requires that the map-making process produces a result that is matched to the perceptual abilities and understanding of the audience. Many graphical functions are built into GIS desktop software but knowledge of audience characteristics is needed to produce an effective product.
Most of the above involve geographic reasoning at a hight level.
Using basic GIS to create descriptive maps with limited intellectual input just uses technical knowledge much like adding water to a packaged cake mix.
I liked this post. More professionals and managers need to understand what you said in this entry.

Jeff Thurston says:
I don't think GIS folks have considered it a walled garden. For the most part everyone involved in spatial technologies has been a pioneer and blazing a trail to a new frontier – sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
There are a huge number of basic spatial issues we do not understand. I spoke with a well known photogrammetrist recently and he pointed to factors like how the brain connects to visual cues. In other areas we only have to look at culture as it influences how people create maps.
It would be helpful if more education folks took a leadership position toward revealing new areas of study and pursuit and caused people to think wider.
On the other hand, perhaps the print industry will become the new digital communicators. They understand design, fonts, lines and communication.
Keep up the good work. I like the maps you folks produce.
Sean Gorman says:
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the response. Definitely agree about education and new directions for spatial cognition. When it comes to walled gardens – I don't mean among GIS professional. They've always been a collaborative group that generally works well together. The wall has been between the end users and the GIS professionals. Maps go out from GIS professional and they have discussions and data sharing amongst themselves. There is mechanism for non-GIS users to join the conversation, to put their own data on the map, make their own combination of layers. That is where I see the wall currently although it is rapidly being removed in my opinion. which a much bigger pool of people interested in being educated and learning about spatial cognition and such.
Chris says:
As long as outsourcing is there to fall back on for companies and governments there will be NO stable GIS job industry.
I started at the ground floor in GIS back in 1988. Our company was the biggest user of ESRI software back than and a beta test site for ESRI. That company I worked for is now out of business and my GIS job and all others at that company are now in India. I now have my own small GIS company and it is near impossible to get work. I mostly just do maps, I can't get real GIS work since it all goes straight to Bangalore India now! This is a cold hard fact I live with and see everyday. People planning to get into GIS need to know this up front.
I think GIS will die as full blown software packages and evolve more into user friendly standalone apps on tablets and smart devices. The current problem with GIS is the public does not use it, only the software users use it and create data for other GIS software users. GIS was going to be this great save-all public information device. This is what ESRI was pushing, but it NEVER really happened. The only GIS stuff people might see is a pdf map posted on some city site that was made with GIS software.
Google was had more of an indirect impact with the public with spatial data and GIS. Google Earth could be the next really BIG step in the advancement of GIS. If Google added more GIS tools to Google Earth it would advance GIS growth and data creation 1000 times more than ESRI and the census has. However, a free interface in Google Earth would not go over big with the GIS professionals with Master and PhD level degrees, since they would not be in control and people would know longer need the ESRI software to get things done by professional GIS people.
Also, the biggest factor is the biggest customer of GIS software. It is 2011 and the government sectors are now broke and can no longer afford to spend vast sums of money on high-end GIS software. I can see many going to the free software like QGIS and having people in India doing more work and writing more of the software and plugins for software like QGIS. It is cheaper, and still advances GIS.

Isn't God good? Can't you count his blessings? Look at how He just allowed you to surf the internet and allowed your heart to locate this church as one of your surfing sites where the spirit of the Lord exalts its power in a magnificent way as he transitions his people out of self into His Holy Spirit on any given day, any place and anytime. As a servant of God, and being connected to His Holy Trinity, we arise today and embark upon another "Yes, Lord," as the spirit gives us guidance. We are a small church with an abundance of praise.
As pastor and on behalf of the members of Goodwill Baptist Church, I bring you greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I encourage each of you to continue to contribute to God's beautiful world by being humble, faithful, loving, committed and dedicated to Christian service so that others coming after you will be able to follow your shining example as you focus on God's example. If you are looking for a church home, you have found the right website. We invite you to come and visit us sometime. If you were a member of Goodwill Baptist Church and have strayed away, we invite you to come back home. "And if so be that He find it, verily I say unto you, He rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray." Matthew 18:13, KJV
Today, pastors find themselves faced with many new challenges. We must do our best to spread the gospel as we face the future. We are thankful to God for this growing church and the courageous pioneers who paved the way to bring us to this present time.
With the ministries of this church and through the teaching and preaching of God's word, we believe in the Holy Scriptures and we believe that there is one God, one Faith and one Baptism. We believe that man was created in God's likeness. we believe that salvation acknowledges itself through the glorification and sanctification of God's grace and we believe that there is a life that awaits us when this life shall end and a God that abates his children home.
We are thankful for the ministries that we have at the church. We encourage our members to use the gifts God has blessed them with to become dedicated soldiers and to advance the Kingdom of God as we keep in mind our motto: "Are We Who We Say We Are?"
To God be the glory for all of the great things He has done for us.

Allez Race Rival
Weight : 15 lbs 12.8 oz
Issue : May 2013
Editorial Review
The Allez feels as stiff as—or stiffer than—some pricier carbon race bikes, and has the explosive demeanor and quick handling to match its blacked-out paint job. This bike is the lightest of the test group, and the least expensive, too. The 52/36 midcompact crank can help you over tough climbs while still offering gears for cruising on the flats. Compared with the Shimano brakes on the other bikes, the Axis calipers were not as powerful.

I need 20-30 Alpha testers for my new MMORPG
Hi I know I just signed up but I hope you don't consider this spam. I was referred to this forum by a fellow member I met, who said some of you may be interested:
Info, Screenshots, etc: Link:
Info from my site:
Decayed of Zombies is a 2D cross-platform game is about having a fun time playing as a zombie in a world where humans are oppressing the zombie race. You must fight them off to remain undead, while other zombie factions are competing with you to become the biggest, strongest zombies.
This game is a "Sort-of" MMORPG. The idea is to have as many people playing at once as possible. The server has been written to support very large amounts of users (1000+), but right now I'd be very happy if we could get to an average of 100 players online at a time. Of course this won't happen until the game is actually finished, but the code is really progressing. Sound/Art is the major setback because I stink at making it myself. Lots of cool stuff is already done in the game like scrolling maps, monsters and items, inventory, chatting and more.
What will you test:
You will test every gameplay element. Basically the point is its hard to truly test a mmo without the mm part. We only have a few people testing various aspects but the game is at a point where I could use some people who are seriously interested in the game and would like to get a jump start on the game and spend some time playing it!
Ideally I'd like as many people as possible, so that I can see what kind of server hardware/uplink I will need for release, and can read players suggestions for future direction of the game design.
The game world is not fully finished and as new areas are completed they will be opened up for your testing and playing.
Theres no formal time requirement but I'd ask that if you only plan to spend 1 hr a week playing you do not inquire. About 3-4 days per week, some time playing would be nice so that with 20 or so people there will usually be a decent size population online to interact and have wars between factions, etc.
Email me if you are interested:
cyberneticwraith [at] phreaker [dot] net
Include the following information:
Your name (optional)
Your forum name
Your internet connection speed
Your general location (State if your are in USA, or specify what country you are in if not USA)
The typical days/times you'd be interested in playtesting the game.
Any other info you want to include, comments, questions, etc
By the way this game will be completely free when released. I've dedicated alot of my time to this game over the past year and really just want to get the satisfaction of seeing other people enjoy what I've created thus far and will create in the future.

Tonight on 'I-Witness:' The Kiram family, the world's poorest monarchy
Dokumentaryo ni Sandra Aguinaldo
March 4, 2013
Outside the seemingly outrageous Sabah claim by the Kiram family, little is known about them--their personal history and the riches and grandeur of the past Sulu Sultanate.
Sultan Jamalul Kiram III maintains that he is heir to this lost kingdom. His quiet and calm demeanor belies his proud ancestry. He claims to be a descendant of the Prophet Mohammad. He declares, "We are the first Filipinos. When the Philippines was not yet in existence, the Sultanate was already there."
They claim their family has been around for 500 years. They tell of tales of solid gold belts and gigantic pearls. As a child, the Sultan was not allowed to walk on soil. He is carried on human shoulders everywhere he goes.
But all of this is gone now. The once grand palace in Sulu is replaced by a humble home in Taguig. The ruins are now just a reminder of the Sultanate's glorious past.
Sandra Aguinaldo gets close and personal with the world's poorest monarchy this Monday on I-Witness.

Tropical Storm Emily heads east, SWFL on edge of 'cone'
The northwesterly steering flow continues today, but is turning a bit more northerly than yesterday.
Scattered storms are mainly in the inland areas and will be slowly tracking toward the southeast. Our winds will turn more east and northeasterly late tomorrow and on Friday.
We could still see just an isolated shower wash ashore tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow afternoon as the winds turn, the afternoon downpours will not be as far inland and will work their way back toward the coastline in the evening hours.
High temperatures will stay in the low to mid 90s and lows will be in the upper 70s.
As far as Tropical Storm Emily is concerned, she will be closest to Southwest Florida Saturday and Saturday night. Then she will pull away.
POSTED AT 2 p.m.
The latest forecast for Tropical Storm Emily looks like the greatest impact from the storm will be in the Bahamas and along Florida's east coast.
The projected cone of movement is now off the west coast of Florida. As you know, this projected path is subject to some change, but it appears this morning that the storm will most likely not be a problem for our side of Florida.
Computer models are in close agreement with taking Emily over Haiti/Dominican Republic tomorrow and curving the storm over the Bahamas on Friday and through the weekend. This does not mean we couldn't see some rain on our side of the state as Emily passes by; however, the heaviest rains on Saturday would likely be center state and on the East Coast.
Tropical Storm Emily intensified during the day on Tuesday, moving into the northeastern Caribbean Sea.
The 8 a.m. Wednesday advisory from the National Hurricane Center had the maximum sustained winds at 50 mph, with higher gusts. Emily, centered 145 miles south-southeast of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, was moving to the west at 14 mph.
On its current projected path, Emily should strengthen slightly to about 60 mph before making a landfall in the Dominican Republic and crossing Haiti during the evening on Wednesday. The island that houses the two countries has very high mountains, which should greatly weaken Emily as it moves over the land mass.
By the time it emerges back into the water of the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday afternoon, Emily may be a 35 mph tropical depression. As the storm moves northwest towards the Bahamas, it will gain strength once again.
It does not look like Emily will have the opportunity to produce hurricane force winds — 74 mph or higher — but we may see a 50 mph or 55 mph tropical storm moving just east of Miami on Saturday morning.
As it looked on Tuesday evening, Emily should not have a major impact on Southwest Florida. Collier, Lee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties are no longer in the forecast "cone of concern."
The computer model guidance has been trending to the east, which means that Tropical Storm Emily would most likely pass just to the east of Florida.
However, there is still a huge amount of uncertainty concerning the forecast of Emily.
We will have to wait and see what happens to the storm as it moves through the mountains of the Dominican Republic and Haiti to see how strong it is and exactly where it will re-enter the water.
This is the perfect time to make sure you have your hurricane preparations completed. Even though we are not going to take a direct hit from Emily, you do not want to be caught off guard if and when we do have a storm hit our coastline.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn.-- Though he assured the dean of Middle Tennessee State University that there would be no politics during his visit, Herman Cain called it "tempting" to respond to a handful of protesters who interrupted his lecture here on Thursday night.
As Cain was recounting his climb up Pillsbury's corporate ladder to a full lecture hall of about 300 students, someone shouted, "Mic check!" setting off a minute's worth of shouting from the audience. "We are the 99 percent!" several representing Occupy Wall Street chanted. "Sexual abuse is unacceptable!" one student hollered.
In counter-protest, several students yelled at the protesters to leave. One said, "We actually want to hear him, now get out!" Shortly afterward, the protesters did.
Cain was silent through the episode, with the exception of asking once, "Are y'all done?" When the hecklers had left, Cain made one comment before moving on with his speech.
"I committed to the dean that I'm not going to address any political issues today," he said. "But do you know how tempting that is? Not gonna do it, dean, not gonna do it! Now I think I was on my way to becoming president of something," he said to laughs.
But later in the speech, Cain revisited the issue and implied that the protesters were "abusing" their right to free speech.
"Don't be embarrassed that those young people wanted to stand up and talk about that they're part of the 99 percent," he said. "We have freedom of speech, some people simply abuse it."
Shortly after, he continued, "That's fine, I didn't get rattled. You know ... the way to attribute it was, they wanted to disrupt my part because they couldn't attract anyone to come listen to them talk!"
Event organizers said Cain had committed to speak almost a year ago, as a former corporate head and successful businessman. Now, Cain is reevaluating a once meteoric presidential campaign in the wake of one woman's claim that they carried on a 13-year extramarital affair and several allegations of sexual harassment from his tenure as head of the National Restaurant Association.
In an appearance on Fox News's Hannity on Thursday night, Cain said he'll make a decision about whether to continue his campaign before Monday.
"We haven't worked out the logistics yet," he said. "The decision could be, we're going to continue with this campaign full speed ahead. The decision could be that were going to suspend the campaign. That's why I'm doing the reassessment."
Though his campaign manager Mark Block assured National Journal earlier this week that Cain dropping out of the race was not an option, Cain has since said the decision will come after he speaks with his wife, Gloria, whom he will be seeing on Friday in person for the first time since the affair allegations surfaced.

This is less sure, but the
from "Conspiracy" might have been an
-class Starship. This is based on the fact that a diagram of this class appeared in the mission orders for this ship. Well, anyway, this ship had a registry of NCC-72007. So, it's possible that Starfleet was still making these ships as late as the 2360s.
I wouldn't put too much stock in those Conspiracy displays. The diagrams used were just random images that had no connection to the text. Two other diagrams, completely different from the Excelsior, also appear under the Atlantis entry. Plus, the ship's registry on the Starship Deploy Status chart is 32710.
DS9 had the opportunity, when they switched to CGI, to create new ship classes for the battle sequences. Instead, they simply created new models out of the existing models and added a few designs from ILM. So, there must have been a reason, other than budget, that the producers decided to reuse the old models.
There was. ILM was ordered to give up all their CGI models used in First Contact to Paramount for remapping. This included not only the three new designs (minus the Norway, as the CGI mesh was lost), but also Nebula and Miranda low-poly models used in the film, which was why we see them in the DS9 fleet scenes. As to why we also see the Excelsior, that was because they had easy access to Greg Jein's model built for VOY's "Flashback" and could scan it into a CGI model (which is also why we
see any Ent-B-type refitted Excelsiors as CGI models).
So it was easier to remap all the FC models and scan Jein's Excelsior than to create all new CGI designs. However, this brings up an interesting thought: If DS9 is ever remastered in HD, will all those CGI fleet scenes have to be redone? And if they are redone, will the same ship designs be used?
Dont believe everything you read on the internet.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A bipartisan commission will meet next month in Albuquerque to consider applicants for three vacancies on the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court.
The Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations to Republican Gov. Susana Martinez for possible appointments to the 19-member court.
The vacancies will occur in January because three Metro Court judges were elected to the district court in the 2nd Judicial District of Bernalillo County - Judges Christina Argyres, Benjamin Chavez and Briana Zamora.
The deadline for applications is Nov. 27, and the Judicial Nominating Commission will meet Dec. 6 at the Metropolitan Courthouse.
The governor appoints judges from candidates recommended by the commission, which is made up of judges, lawyers and members of the public.

This one I use both the homemade yeast, but when I get some of my cider made, I am going to try a loaf with just the cider and apple yeast. Keep a watch for that.
I'll be adding some pictures of the final product tomorrow after it raises and I bake it.
Step 1: Ingredients and tools
2 cups of self rising flour
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 heaping teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of yeast
1/2 cup of homemade apple yeast
1 cup of warm water
various measuring cups, and spoons
a mixing bowl
a bread pan
chopsticks or other utensil to mix it
a rubber spatula
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
Step 3: Add the liquids
I mixed it first with the chopsticks, then used the spatula to get the dry flour that laid at the bottom of the mix.
I then got my hands damp, and folded the dough onto itself letting the added moisture grab the last of the flour and combine it with the dough.
Step 4: Cover and Wait
I am going to let it set over night, and will probably make it after lunch time tomorrow, so giving it 16 to 18 hours to rise.

Lucy Kaplansky
February 25, 2012
"New York songwriter Lucy Kaplansky is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city folk." —The Boston Globe
She started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers – Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt and others – where she fit right in. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, and she often appeared in a duo with Shawn Colvin. The New York Times found it "easy to predict stardom for her." Lucy harmonized on Colvin's Grammy-winning Steady On, Nanci Griffith's Lone Star State of Mind and Little Love Affairs, and four of John Gorka's albums. She also landed soundtrack credits, singing with Vega on Pretty in Pink and with Griffith on The Firm, and several commercial credits, including "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. She can also be heard on the Greg Brown tribute album Going Driftless (also featuring Ani DiFranco, Iris Dement, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Gillian Welch, Eliza Gilkyson and others). Lucy teamed with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell to form the supergroup Cry Cry Cry, celebrating the amazing revitalization in contemporary songwriting. The resulting album, Cry Cry Cry – given an "A" rating by Entertainment Weekly and hailed by The New Yorker as "a collection of lovely harmonizing and pure emotion" – has been a success in sales and airplay, and the trio's national tour has introduced Lucy's luminous voice to a new audience of eager listeners.

Managers Defend Hedge-Fund Industry At House Hearing
Publication Date:November 13, 2008
Source:The Wall Street Journal
Author:Judith Burns and Jessica Holzer
Professor Joseph Bankman is mentioned in an article in The Wall Street Journal about a House Hearing discussing the need for tighter regulations of hedge funds:
Hedge-fund managers are defending their industry at a congressional hearing Thursday, testifying that hedge funds didn't cause the current economic crisis and some saying they shouldn't be subject to stricter regulation in the future.
However, experts on a panel of witnesses argued that regulators need to tighten oversight of the $2 trillion industry, with onecalling for tax increases on the industry.
Stanford law professor Joseph Bankman argued that the taxation of carried interest was neither fair nor efficient.

Acclaimed songwriter Larry Jon Wilson, whose flannel-warm baritone voice and deeply lyrical storytelling made him a worthy and intriguing musical contemporary of Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt and others, died Monday afternoon in Roanoke, Va. Mr. Wilson suffered a stroke while visiting family. He was 69.
"The South will never be the same," said Jerry DeCicca, who co-produced Wilson's intimate, self-titled "comeback" album that came out in 2009 on Drag City Records. It was Wilson's first album in nearly 30 years. DeCicca, who called Wilson "My hero and friend," said, "He never stopped giving himself to his art."
Raised in Georgia, Mr. Wilson began writing songs when he was 30, after he'd celebrated a birthday, mourned the passing of his father, accepted the delivery of a Martin guitar and learned that his then-wife was pregnant, all within the same 24-hour period. He developed a distinct and unusual guitar style that served the songs he wrote about churchyards, poets and bucolic Georgia bottomland.
"People who've called me a great guitar player . . . I think they haven't studied my guitar playing," he said in a 2009 Tennessean interview. "It's very limited, and I'm aware of that. But it properly accompanies what I play. Anything more would obscure it, and anything less wouldn't hold it up."
Jim McGuire, who has photographed many of Nashville's greatest musicians, said of Mr. Wilson, "He was an artist of the highest order."
That artistry was depicted on four albums Mr. Wilson made for Monument Records in the 1970s, in a documentary film called Heartworn Highways and in the recent, self-titled album that was recorded while he played guitar and sang in a 15th floor hotel room in Perdido Key, Fla.
Those recordings, along with the still-talked-about concerts he played at small venues such as Nashville's Bluebird Cafe and Decatur, Ga.'s Eddie's Attic, established for Mr. Wilson a legend and reputation more significant than his modest commercial successes. Mr. Wilson didn't so much refuse industry ladder climbing so much as he never got around to it.
"He was pretty different," said famed publisher Bob Beckham, who signed Wilson to a deal with Combine Music in 1975. "He doesn't fit the image, whatever the image is. . . . Back then, unique characters came along with the song."
For his part, Mr. Wilson did not regret his decisions to step aside from mainstream motivations.
"Some people have used the 'Outlaw' tag effectively for a career move, but I don't think 'career move' has ever entered my thinking," he said. "When I was in Nashville, we did the streets an awful long time, and we weren't exactly holding prayer meetings. I loved my drinking days. I stopped in the 1980s, but they were good. I'm not ashamed of any of it."
After 29 years without a release, the Larry Jon Wilson album caused fans and critics to reexamine Mr. Wilson's art and impact. The album wasn't a chart hit, but it reintroduced the singer-songwriter to an international audience, some members of which weren't even born when Mr. Wilson released his other albums. He toured in the United Kingdom, hung out with indie rockers and told his stories to fans and journalists. Mr. Wilson's stories were less, and more, than linear. Presented with a question, he'd offer up elliptical poetry that might have something to do with the line of inquiry. And then he might offer up a song to illustrate his ever-shifting line of thought.
"Thank God I touched a few forsaken lives," he once sang, by way of a modest thank you.
Memorial details were unavailable at press time.

Roma are expected to announce the appointment of Zdenek Zeman as their new coach by the end of this week.
The Giallorossi are looking to fill the vacancy created by the departure of coach Luis Enrique earlier this month.
Czech Zeman, who confirmed on Wednesday he is in advanced talks with Roma over the position, is set to sign a one-year contract with the Giallorossi outfit.
"We will soon make official our new coach,"
Roma's club administrator Claudio Fenucci said to Corriere dello Sport. "Then we will begin to build the team that we hope will give great satisfaction to our fans this year."
Roma endured a disappointing campaign under Luis Enrique and finished outside of the European places in seventh.
The vastly-experienced Zeman, 65, has already coached Roma once in his long career, from 1997 until 1999, and last season guided Pescara to promotion to Serie A in his first year at the club.
