One of the best-selling and most-loved artists of all time, John Denver's legacy as a singer/songwriter resonates as strongly today as before his untimely death. A Song's Best Friend: The Very Best of John Denver is the first complete single CD of John Denver's original hit recordings, digitally remixed and remastered from original master tapes for optimum sound quality. A must-have for longtime fans or new converts, the 20 songs (plus a five-track bonus CD including recently discovered and previously unreleased tracks) are a great way to update your Denver library or introduce you to the incredible body of work of this legend.

Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. (December 31, 1943 - October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American singer/songwriter, activist, and humanitarian. After growing up in numerous locations with his military family, Denver began his music career in folk music groups in the late 1960s. His greatest commercial success was as a solo singer. Denver was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s. Throughout his life Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed. He performed primarily with an acoustic guitarand sang about his joy in nature, his enthusiasm for music, and relationship trials. Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts including country & western, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, in all earning him 12 gold and 4 platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Rocky Mountain High", "Annie's Song" and "Calypso".

Denver further starred in films and several notable television specials in the 1970s and 1980s. In the following decades he continued to record, but also focused on calling attention to environmental issues, lent his vocal support to space exploration, and testified in front of Congress to protest censorship in music. He was an avid pilot, and died while flying his personal aircraft at the age of 53.

US military builds a mini-Skynet


The US military has confirmed that it is conducting "basic research" related to hierarchical machine perception and analysis.
Potential applications are likely to include visual, acoustic and somatic sensor processing for the detection and classification of objects or activities.
"The quantity of data available to DoD commanders and analysts from new sensor platforms with improved resolution and range poses tremendous challenges," explained DARPA spokesperson Tony Falcone.
US military builds a mini-Skynet"This [information] must be quickly and correctly analyzed, currently by highly trained human operators. As sensor capabilities expand, sophisticated, powerful machines with the ability to replicate, and even surpass, human perceptual capabilities will be required."
According to Falcone, such advanced requirements have prompted DARPA to carefully study recent machine learning "breakthroughs" in the context of its Deep Learning program.
"[Remember], the human visual system uses six layers of cortical processing, in addition to all of the preprocessing done by the retina and the lateral geniculate nucleus. [But] the neural net-based machines we use today generally [only] have two or three layers.


"[Now], Deep Learning isn't a biomimetic program, but if we believe that biological systems exhibit an economy of complexity, this suggests that we need to go deeper and have more layers; we are just beginning to understand how to do that."
Indeed, as Falcone notes, Deep Learning research could eventually allow neural-nets to achieve "human-level or better" analysis of video and other sensor modalities. 

"Deep Learning should enable commanders to make more informed decisions faster by ensuring that subtle, yet critical correlations that may exist in very large collections of data are uncovered, explored and analyzed. 


"The result is that data sources are being used more effectively, yielding greater confidence in the reliability of the information on which subsequent command decisions are made," he added.
