- Let's say you're some type of traffic engineer and what
- you're trying to figure out is, how many cars pass by a certain
- point on the street at any given point in time?
- And you want to figure out the probabilities that a
- hundred cars pass or 5 cars pass in a given hour.
- So a good place to start is just to define a random
- variable that essentially represents what you care about.
- So let's say the number of cars that pass in some amount of
- time, let's say, in an hour.
- And your goal is to figure out the probability distribution of
- this random variable and then once you know the probability
- distribution then you can figure out what's the
- probability that 100 cars pass in an hour or the probability
- that no cars pass in an hour and you'd be unstoppable.
- And just a little aside, just to move forward with this
- video, there's two assumptions we need to make because
- we're going to study the Poisson distribution.
- And in order to study it's there's two assumptions
- we have to make:
- That any hour at this point on the street is no different
- than any other hour.
- And we know that that's probably false.
- During rush hour in a real situation you probably
- would have more cars than at another rush hour.
- And you know, if you wanted to be more realistic maybe we do
- it in the day because in a day any period of time--
- actually, no.
- I shouldn't do a day.
- We have to assume that every hour is completely just like
- any other hour and actually, even within the hour there's
- really no differentiation from one second to the other in
- terms of the probabilities that a car arrives.
- That's a little bit of a simplifying assumption that
- might not truly apply to traffic, but I think we
- can make that assumption.
- And then the other assumption we need to make is that if a
- bunch of cars pass in one hour that doesn't mean that fewer
- cars will pass in the next.
- That in no way does the number of cars that pass in one period
- affect or correlate or somehow influence the number of cars
- that pass in the next.
- That they're really independent.
- Given that, we can then at least try using the skills
- we have to model out some type of a distribution.
- The first thing you do and I'd recommend doing this for any
- distribution is maybe we can estimate the mean.
- Let's sit out on that curb and measure what this variable is
- over a bunch of hours and then average it up, and that's going
- to be a pretty good estimator for the actual mean
- of our population.
- Or, since it's a random variable, the expected value
- of this random variable.
- Let's say you do that and you get your best estimate of the
- expected value of this random variable is-- I'll use
- the letter lambda.
- You know, this could be 9 cars per hour.
- You sat out there-- it could be 9.3 cars per hour.
- You sat out there over hundreds of hours and you just counted
- the number of cars each hour and you averaged them all up.
- You said, on average, there are 9.3 cars per hour and you feel
- that's a pretty good estimate.
- So that's what you have there.
- And let's see what we could do.
- We know the binomial distribution.
- The binomial distribution tells us that the expected value of a
- random variable is equal to the number of trials that that
- random variable's kind of composed of, right?
- Before, in the previous videos we were counting the number
- of heads in a coin toss.
- So this would be the number of coin tosses, times the
- probability of success over each toss.
- This is what we did with the binomial distribution.
- So maybe we can model our traffic situation
- something similar.
- This is the number of cars that pass in an hour.
- So maybe we could say lambda cars per hour is equal
- to-- I don't know.
- Let's make each experiment or each toss of the coin equal to
- whether a car passes in a given minute.
- So there are 60 minutes per hour, so there
- would be 60 trials.
- And then, the probability that we have success in each of
- those trials, if we modeled this as a binomial distribution
- would be lambda over 60 cars per minute.
- And this would be a probability.
- This would be n, and this would be the probability, if we said
- that this is a binomial distribution.
- And this probably wouldn't be that bad of an approximation.
- If you actually then said, oh, this is a binomial
- distribution, so the probability that our random
- variable equals some given value, k.
- You know, the probability that 3 cars, exactly 3 cars pass in
- an given hour, we would then be equal to n.
- So n would be 60.
- Choose k, and you know, I have 3 cars times the
- probability of success.
- So the probability that a car passes in any minute.
- So it'd be lambda over 60 to the number of
- successes we need.
- So to the kth power, times the probability of no success or
- that no cars pass, to the n minus k.
- If we have k successes we have to have 60 minus k failures.
- There are 60 minus k minutes where no car passed.
- This actually wouldn't be that bad of an approximation where
- you have 60 intervals and you say this is a binomial
- distribution.
- And you'd probably get reasonable results.
- But there's a core issue here.
- In this model where we model it as a binomial distribution,
- what happens if more than one car passes in an hour?
- Or more than one car passes in a minute?
- The way we have it right now we call it a success if one
- car passes in a minute.
- And if you're kind of counting it counts as one success, even
- if 5 cars pass in that minute.
- So you say, oh, OK Sal, I know the solution there.
- I just have to get more granular.
- Instead of dividing it into minutes why don't I
- divide it into seconds?
- So the probability that I have k successes-- instead of 60
- intervals I'll do 3,600 intervals.
- So the probability of k successful seconds, so a second
- where a car is passing at that moment out of 3,600 seconds.
- So that's 3,600 choose k, times the probability that a car
- passes in any given second.
- That's the expected number of cars in an hour divided by
- number seconds in an hour.
- We're going to have k successes.
- And these are the failures, the probability of a failure
- and you're going to have 3,600 minus k failures.
- And this would be even a better approximation.
- This actually would not be so bad, but still, you have this
- situation where 2 cars can come within a half a
- second of each other.
- And you say, oh, OK Sal, I see the pattern here.
- We just have to get more and more granular.
- We have to just make this number larger and
- larger and larger.
- And your intuition is correct.
- And if you do that you'll end up getting the
- Poisson distribution.
- And this is really interesting because a lot of times people
- give you the formula for the Poisson distribution and you
- can kind of just plug in the numbers and use it.
- But it's neat to know that it really is just the binomial
- distribution and the binomial distribution really did come
- from kind of the common sense of flipping coins.
- That's where everything is coming from.
- But before we kind of prove that if we take the limit
- as-- let me change colors.
- Before we proved that as we take the limit as this number
- right here, the number of intervals approaches infinity
- that this becomes the Poisson distribution.
- I'm going to make sure we have a couple of mathematical
- tools in our belt.
- So the first is something that you're probably reasonably
- familiar with by now, but I just want to make sure that the
- limit as x approaches infinity of 1 plus a/x to the x power is
- equal to e to the ax-- no sorry.
- Is equal to e to the a and now just to prove this to you,
- let's make a little substitution here.
- Let's say that n is equal to-- let me say 1 over
- n is equal to a over x.
- And then what would be x would equal to na.
- x times 1 is equal to n times a.
- And so the limit as x approaches infinity,
- what does a approach?
- a is-- sorry.
- As x approaches infinity what does n approach?
- Well n is x divided by a.
- So n would also approach infinity.
- So this thing would be the same thing as just making our
- substitution the limit as n approaches infinity of 1
- plus-- a/x, I made the substitution as 1/n.
- And x is, by this substitution, n times a.
- And this is going to be the same thing as the limit as n
- approaches infinity of 1 plus 1/n to the n, all
- of that to the a.
- And since there's no n out here we could just take the limit
- of this and then take that to the a power.
- So that's going to be equal to the limit as n approaches
- infinity of 1 plus 1/n to the nth power, all of
- that to the a.
- And this is our definition, or one of the ways to get to e if
- you'd watch the videos on compound interest and all that.
- This is how we got to e.
- And if you tried it out on your calculator, just try larger
- and larger n's here and you'll get e.
- This inner part is equal to e, and we raised it to the a
- power, so it's equal to e to the a.
- So hopefully you pretty satisfied that this limit
- is equal to e to the a.
- And then one other tool kit I want in our belt, and I'll
- probably actually do the proof in the next video.
- The other tool kit is to recognize that x factorial over
- x minus k factorial is equal to x times x minus 1 times x
- minus 2, all the way down to times x minus k plus 1.
- And we've done this a lot of times, but this is the most
- abstract we've ever written it.
- I can give you a couple of-- and just so you know, they'll
- be exactly k terms here.
- 1, 2, 3-- So first term, second term, third term, all the
- way, and this the kth term.
- And this is important to our derivation of the
- Poisson distribution.
- But just to make this in real numbers, if I had 7 factorial
- over 7 minus 2 factorial, that's equal to 7 times 6
- times 5 times 4 times 3 times 3 times 1.
- Over 2 times-- no sorry.
- 7 minus 2, this is 5.
- So it's over 5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1.
- These cancel out and you just have 7 times 6.
- And so it's 7 and then the last term is 7 minus
- 2 plus 1, which is 6.
- In this example, k was 2 and you had exactly 2 terms.
- So once we know those two things we're now ready
- to derive the Poisson distribution and I'll do
- that in the next video.
- See you soon.

Events T-Shirts: Marketing Brands For A Long Time
Love between a pet and its owner has been immortalized by legends. The special relationship that an animal and its owner share has been shown in novels and films, fiction or non-fiction. We think of our cats as the most affectionate animals, while our dogs are the most loyal. But the hunt for pets with true star quality does not end with cute pet photo contests; your pet must demonstrate obedience and agility in front of international pets show judges.
Speaking of international pet shows, during competition, some pet owners don custom t-shirts with pictures of their pets printed on their shirts. It's their way of showing how much they love their pets and to promote the event on the same time. Even if it's just a small pet competition, you can encourage other pet owners to bring their pets along and join the competition.
Events t-shirts have been used by businesses to market brands for a long time now. Wearing custom event t shirts is a great way to create brand awareness; it is a very inexpensive method to spread the word and present event organizers in a presentable way. Aside from the obvious marketing advantages, event t-shirts can enhance customers' perception to the business or brand.
So whether you're an event organizer or just a pet owner, if you want to encourage people to watch the event and show support to the cause, wear custom t-shirts with the pic of your favorite pet printed on the t-shirt. Getting custom printed shirts online is fast and easy; some will even allow you to take full control of the entire design process and payment online. You can try Shirtmagic, one of the leading shirt printing companies that offers affordable custom printing services.

Night Launch
Adventures of a first-time shuttle photographer.
- By Ed Darack
- AirSpaceMag.com, October 13, 2010
Ed Darack
In late 2009, I decided to look into the possibility of going to the Kennedy Space Center. The Web site launchphotography.com provides detailed information on how to view a shuttle launch from around the Kennedy Space Center region, and included information on the upcoming STS-130 mission.
The quality of the photography—spanning ten years—led me to believe the site's owner, Ben Cooper, was a retired NASA employee who lived in the area. When I finally met him, I discovered Ben was actually a 25-year-old, current NASA photographer who had graduated from Embry-Riddle University in 2008, and is now one of the most highly respected photographers of space vehicles in the world.
Ben encouraged me to apply for a press pass, and said that if I did get credentials, he could help me with "remotes"—cameras positioned around the launch pad that are triggered either sonically or seismically when the shuttle launches. That was an opportunity I didn't expect.
In this shot, Endeavour is revealed during rollback of the Rotating Service Structure (RSS) of the mobile launcher platform, Pad 39A. The RSS, which pivots open like a giant steel-girdered clam, reveals the shuttle approximately 20 hours before launch.

On Saturday, January 22, The School of Education hosted the F.I.R.S.T. Lego League Staten Island Borough Qualifying Tournament. 24 teams representing 14 different Middle Schools and Community Based Organizations competed to select representatives to compete in the Five Borough competition to be held in the Jacob Javits Center in March.
With over 275 children and their parents in attendance and Staten Island campus faculty and students serving among the many referees, judges and volunteers the event proved to be an extraordinary learning experience for all involved.Photo Gallery
Lego blocks, those colorful snap-together pieces that have delighted children for ages, were used to challenge teams of youngsters who created working robots with tasks to accomplish on a large board among variety of obstacles.
According to Dr. Regina Mistretta of The School of Education,"the tournament demonstrated itself as an energizing learning environment that offered all of its participants multiple opportunities to recognize the connections among mathematics, science and robotics as well as the benefits of collaborative partnerships."
Participating St. John's University School of Education students as well as members of the Education Club, the Education Honor Society--Kappa Delta Pi—and Greek Organizations—CTO, IAE and DEB enjoyed a field experience that focused around teaching and learning of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in interesting and novel way for engaging youngsters.

Donny Swanson, an adjunct faculty member in The School of Education coordinated this full-day event on the Staten Island campus. No stranger to robotics, Donny coached the 2007 Paulo Intermediate School robotics team to the F.I.R.S.T. Lego League World Festival which involved 105 representing 52 countries.
The Championship award went to the Staten Island Transformers from St. Clare's School. Other competitors receiving recognition included two parent run teams, Dutchman and Microbots, as well as representatives from Dreyfus Intermediate School, Paulo Intermediate School, St. John's Lutheran School, Eltingville Lutheran School, Intermediate School 74, and the Park Wizards, and entry from NYC Parks and Recreation. Four teams from St. Clare's School and two teams from Public School 57 also competed in a separate Junior First Lego League Competition for 2nd to 5th graders that was held in the St. John's Cafeteria.

Our selection for the Big City Book Club showed us how Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, who relentlessly brought home the message of "the tale of two cities" in his campaign, was not the first New Yorker to sound that theme. In 1890, Jacob Riis published "How the Other Half Lives," documenting squalid conditions in the city's tenements.
Riis, a Dane and a newcomer to the United States, realized that the upper classes really had no idea how the poor immigrant class subsisted in New York. We read Riis's work as the recent selection of the Big City Book Club.
The online discussion took place on Dec. 16 on the City Room blog.

We usually always stay in Best Western . Always have a nice stay. It is afordable,clean and have always been treated well.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
The TV was really fuzzy and the air conditioner didn't work real well, but then we might not have understood how it works. Reported it to the desk clerk so I am sure it was fixed. Comfortable bedHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good business accomodations"
Clean room, very fast wi fi, comfortable desk chair, helpful desk employees, and let me use the room until 1 on following day due to a late flight.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
Easy to get to. Seemed clean. Didn't use much of the amenities such as pool because of being tired from the day's events. Breakfast was better than most of these places. Wasn't just empty carbs. Had eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles, etc. Pool and hot tub looked well maintained.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
Was close to Bend and Sisters. we were there to meet up with former classmates so did not do much sight seeing per say. The only problem with room was that it was a SMOKING room at one time and it still maintained some odor.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"One of 5 hotels in our trip"
The location is convenient right off the 97 with stores very close. It is an older hotel that has gone through some renovations, but still feels like an older hotel. We stayed in the 2 queen Suite. The room was big. It was generally clean. Staff were plentiful and very nice. Breakfast was average. They ran out of some of the food selections. Pool area […] was a big hit with the kids. Probably one of the best values in the area. I would consider staying here again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"generally a good experience"
We were only staying one night, but the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We were looking forward to the complimentary full breakfast, but because there were several youth sports teams staying at the hotel the dining area was packed and the hotel had run out of eggs, bacon and sausage so we had to wait. The kids from the teams were also in the […] pool almost constantly so our family swim was cut short. Understandable, but still frustrating. Overall still a good experience. Staff was friendly and helpful, and extended pool hours to accomodate all the swimmers. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Would definitely stay there again!"
All very good. The only inconvenience was that I had to pay to be taken to the hotel from the airport because one of the drivers was ill and the other one was waiting for a special group flying in. Had I asked for a receipt, the hotel would have reimbursed me. All else, very good!Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

1. Price list for this motel was way to high. 2. The location was in an industrial area and not quiet You could hear vehicle traffic all night long. I believe the building walls must have been somewhat thin 3.the hotel staff were very nice. 4. The location was in a hard to get to area and somewhat hard to locate and access. 5. Redmond Oregon is a nice […] town but this motel was in a bad area and to high priced for what u get. 6. I would not stay here again I would rather travel to bend 15 minutes away and stay at the comfort suites inn at the east side of town for the same price but a nicer motel and a nice area. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Did you know you already have an estate plan? The only question is whether it is the estate plan you want — the one that's best for you and your family.
Anyone who owns assets has an estate, whether those assets fill a 50-room mansion or a shopping cart. Upon a person's death, those assets must, by law, be properly distributed. Exactly which assets are distributed to whom depends on the estate plan.
This free Webinar discusses some important things you need to know about estate planning — whether you are just starting to think about creating an estate plan or you need to revisit your plan to make sure it's adequate.

Clippers get technical in beating Kings
By DAN WOIKE
LOS ANGELES – When the Clippers beat Sacramento earlier this month on the road, the Kings' DeMarcus Cousins picked up a crucial fourth-quarter technical foul for taunting. It was a mistake that helped the Clippers win. So much for learning from mistakes. Saturday, after helping bring his Kings back from 20 points down

Mark Heisler: Lakers aren't only ones off to rough start
By MARK HEISLER
Good news for anguished Lakers fans – We're not done rebuilding yet? – and Clippers fans who thought things were different: Things are tough all over! How about them Nets, who started 3-9 with a $100 million payroll that will trigger about $80 million in luxury tax? Or the Cavaliers, back on a 25-win pace

When Pigs Could Fly
The F-111, beloved by pilots in America and Australia, takes to the air for the last time.
- By Michael Klesius
- AirSpaceMag.com, January 31, 2011
John Freedman
An airplane called "Aardvark" and "Pig" has got to be short on love. But that couldn't be farther from the truth for the General Dynamics F-111. Treasured by its crews, who came up with those names, the swing-wing, supersonic F-111 has, after more than four decades of service, gone back to the barn for good.
Retired in 1996 by the United States Air Force, the brawny cold war fighter-bomber continued flying with the Royal Australian Air Force until last month. Aussie crews took its American name, Aardvark, meaning "earth pig," and shortened it to Pig. Pilots in both countries, the only ones ever to fly the F-111, dug the fact that the jet's terrain-hugging radar let them fly it "with its nose in the dirt."
More than 3,000 people turned out on December 3, 2010, for the final flight of Australia's Pigs at RAAF Amberley base, near Brisbane, ending 37 years of F-111 operations Down Under. A few misty-eyed Americans traveled halfway around the world for the event, including retired U.S. Air Force pilot Brad Insley, who holds that record for the most hours in the F-111 at 5,057. One Pig that happened to be on static display was the very tail number that Insley had ferried to Vietnam in 1972. The Aussies put him in the left seat as they towed it back to the hangar.
Brisbane-based photographer John Freedman, who spent plenty of time photographing Pigs over the years, was there for the big day. Here are a handful of his photographs. For more, visit F-111.net.

I love that the ground crew wear camo and high-visibility jackets at the same time. The world really is messed up.

Truly awesome pictures! I prefer the name "Aardvark," but by whatever name, the F-111 will be missed by aviation enthusiasts.

This bird had a rocky start, and would not have made it without political pressure. We had the first six prototypes at Edwards AFB in 1966, four for the Air Force, and two for the Navy. Ours were dogs.
Going out for an interphone problem on #766, I noticed that the right wing was missing its leading edge. When I asked the crew chief about it, he told me that it "blew off in flight", then called me down from the cockpit to show me some things with another one on jacks in the hangar, including loose aluminum sheets on the empennage, and other troubles. The Crew Chief himself did not like that airplane.
When it came down to the political vote, busloads of Congressmen were brought in to climb in and play fighter pilot on the ground. We workers were not allowed to be there.
I always liked the F-111A, but I think its genesis was more political than technical.

I was the thermo engineer on the F-111 Crew Module made by McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis from 1965 through 1967.
I have many career changing memories being involved in such a big project in my mid twenties. The windshields were a real design problem due to the flight profile requirements.
I am proud to be a part of great aviation history.

I am a new user to Ubuntu in general but I love programming, alot!
Well, I recently made a small application so as to exercise on C++, but especially on packaging (see this thread: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12032829) which is called Unity Launcher Creator and what it does is to create launchers for the Unity Launcher on the left of our screen on Ubuntu 12.4!
So, I'd like to have a look to my application, see if the deb file installs OK, I need your feedback.
Also, please tell me if you had any problems using the application, any modifications that would be good for the program to be done, but, especially, whether the DEB files installs and runs correctly (it works for me, but you never know)... You will find everything on the link provided above!

The Mexicans were weak and fed. They could not resist, because they wanted nothing in the world as frantically as the Americans wanted land. Then, with time, the squatters were no longer squatters, but owners; and their children grew up and had children on the land. And the hunger was gone from them, the feral hunger, the gnawing, tearing hunger for land, for water and earth and the good sky over it, for the green thrusting grass, for the swelling roots. They had these things so completely that they did not know about them any more."Chapter 19

Military language is often used to describe a professional football manager's highly-pressured existence. However, the routine phrases were made real for candidates on last week's UEFA Pro Licence.
Floyd Woodrow joined the SAS aged 22, one of the UK's youngest soldiers to do so and went on to serve in various operational areas around the world. Throughout his distinguished career, paying attention to detail has routinely allowed Woodrow to excel.
"I was taught by one of the best soldiers in the world and he made sure that we understood that if we do the basic skills and do them to a high standard then we will probably win," explained Woodrow, who was speaking to the 22 candidates on The FA's prestigious coaching course at St. George's Park.
"Nothing in my life has changed in any environment I have ever been in. As long as I do things correctly, then I am probably going to be better than most people,"
During his career, Woodrow was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal, the UK's second highest gallantry award for bravery, and an MBE for his exemplary services whilst in Afghanistan.
He now shares the principles that served him throughout his military career. The human element of leadership, team development and stress are a key focus for Woodrow.
"It is about knowing how to stick to the same principles that work: good vision, good-start point, understanding how to operate in the pressure zone and then committing and doing it wholeheartedly."
Woodrow believes that the foundations of success are transferable across sports, industry and other walks of life. He also recognises the difficulties that the Pro-Licence candidates face in their current, or prospective, roles.
He added: "There seems to be a common theme that runs through all of the most talented individuals, teams and organisations. What I try to do is look at it from their perspective and in my opinion football is probably one of the toughest jobs to do as a leader."
However, the enduring message Woodrow hoped the candidates would leave the course with was again underlined by simplicity: "Basic things done well."
There will be further interviews with UEFA Pro Licence candidates Chris Powell and Lois Fidler later this week.
In the meantime, read the thoughts of former Manchester United midfielder and current UEFA Pro Licence candidate, Paul Ince, here

Visual Effects Society Announces 2013 Board of Directors
LOS ANGELES – The Visual Effects Society (VES) announced the 2013 Board of Director officers, who were elected at the January 2013 board meeting. The list of officials includes Jeffrey A. Okun, Sr. V.P of visual effects for Prana Studios, who was re-elected for a fifth one-year term as Board Chair.
"To be elected the Chair of the VES is not only an honor but a responsibility to our artists to insure they are recognized for what they do," said Okun. "The VES represents members in twenty-nine countries. These members are the artists that drive the industry to new heights, increase the ability to tell compelling stories, imagine new horizons and deliver the unimaginable. I will continue to shine the light and to look for new and better ways to have them recognized," Okun added.
"I look forward to continuing to support the Board under the passionate leadership that Jeff brings to the table," states Eric Roth, VES Executive Director. "He's the kind of guy any nonprofit would be lucky to have leading them. And for visual effects artists around the world, they couldn't be represented by anyone more dedicated or talented on their behalf," said Roth.
The 2013 Officers of the VES Board of Directors are:
Chair: Jeffrey A. Okun
Jeffrey A. Okun has contributed visual effects design and execution to a wide-range of films including the award-winning sci-fi hit Stargate (1994), Deep Blue Sea (1999), The Last Starfighter (1984), Sphere (1998), The Last Samurai (2003), Blood Diamond (2006) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008).
Okun is known for creating 'organic' and invisible effects, as well as spectacular effects that seamlessly expand both the look and scope of a film, but also enhance the storytelling aspect of the movie. Additionally, Jeff is the creator of the revolutionary visual effects techniques dubbed the "PeriWinkle Effect" and the "Pencil Effect", which have been used in many projects to help achieve a sense of the fantastic and wonder on more accurate budgets. Okun is the author of breakdown, budgeting and tracking software currently being used by professionals throughout the industry.
1st Vice Chair: Michael Fink, Visual Effects Supervisor
Michael has earned degrees from California State University Northridge, San Francisco Art Institute, and California Institute of the Arts, in an attempt to disguise a checkered past.
Michael began working in film on China Syndrome in 1977. He "cut his eye teeth" on films such as Star Trek the Motion Picture and Blade Runner, and became a Visual Effects Supervisor on War Games (BAFTA Nomination) in 1982. He has since worked on over 50 films, including Buckaroo Banzai, Batman Returns (BAFTA and Academy Nominations), Braveheart, Mars Attacks!, X-Men, X-Men 2, Constantine, The Golden Compass (BAFTA Award, Academy Award), Tropic Thunder, Avatar, Tron: Legacy, Sucker Punch, Tree of Life, and Life of Pi. Michael is a founding member of the Visual Effects Society, a member of the Executive Committee of the Visual Effects Branch of the Academy, and is a Visiting Professor at the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California while continuing his visual effects career.
2nd Vice Chair: Mike Chambers - Visual Effects Producer
Mike Chambers is an independent Visual Effects Producer and freelance VFX Consultant, specializing in large-scale feature film productions. Most recently completing work on The Dark Knight Rises for Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros Studios, it is his second collaboration with the esteemed director of Inception.
With a professional career spanning 30 years, some of them pre-dating the "Digital Era", he has been both witness to and participant in the development, acceptance and widespread integration of digital technology and methodology into the VFX & film production industry.

FTA: ´So who should conduct the debates in 2016? "That´s a tricky question," says Fleischer. "Putting on a proper live debate is no simple matter, and usually the people who are good at it are the networks or the cables. So it´s something we´ve got to work through and talk through, to figure out how the debates are going to be reflective of what a Republican primary voter thinks." In the end, the party might decide to assign a few debates to organizations that did not conduct them in 2012.´We´re transitioning to the era of netcasts (aka webcasts). The alphabets and cable networks are no longer the gatekeepers. Fleischer and the others should get with it. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Oh Please! Debates are not rocket science. What has been laughingly called "debates" on TV have been so twisted by the networks/moderators that they are a mockery of the debate process. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The debates did have a positie influence on the American people. They got see multiple politicians tearing into Obama´s socialist policies and offering alternatives. They got to see real people ridiculing the media that was hosting the debates. I think Obama´s poll numbers went down after each GOP debate.Only problem for the Republican Establishment aristocrats is that Romney had to fight for the nomination. They don´t like that.

If Obama´s poll number actually went down after each on the many Republican primary debates, maybe the Republicans should have 50 debates during their next primary season, then the Republicans can really bludgeon each other to death, ending the need for a general election, and allowing the Democrat candidate to assume office without any opposition. Actually the Republicans did most of that last year! Click Here if you Like this Comment
The debate I liked the best was Warren´s for 0bama vs McCain.It´s time to get the Candy Crowleys out of there. Click Here if you Like this Comment
