John Yoo: 9/11 Civilian Trials A Mistake
 |
Complete video at: fora.tv John Yoo, a former official in the United States Department of Justice, argues that allowing terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the opportunity to have a civilian trial presents a great threat to national security.

As a strictly legal matter, does water boarding amount to torture, as the current Justice Department regards it? And are we safer because the Bush administration made use of enhanced interrogation? - Hoover Institution John Yoo is a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

Moore shares far-ranging, irreverent, and stranger-than-fiction vignettes from his early life. One moment he's an 11-year-old boy lost in the Senate and found by Bobby Kennedy; and in the next, he's inside the Bitburg cemetery with Ronald Reagan. At 17, he goes to get a snack and ends up on the news, creating a firestorm that helps eliminate racial discrimination at private establishments across America. Funny, eye-opening, and moving, it's the book he has been writing and living his entire life. - Sixth & I Historic Synagogue Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. He is the director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko, three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time. In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, documenting his personal crusade to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections.

Interstellar Travel: Will We Ever Get Out of the Solar System?
 |
Complete video at: fora.tv Astronomer Royal Martin Rees examines the various options for colonizing worlds beyond our own solar system, and expresses skepticism that humanity will ever achieve faster-than-light travel. "There are hypothetical time machines, but the only one that's been worked out involves creating a black hole weighing as much as 10000 suns," says Rees. "That seems a pretty tall technological order." ----- Former President of the Royal Society, England's Astronomer Royal, Lord Martin Rees brings a lifetime of cosmological inquiry to a crucial question: What if human success on Earth determines life's success in the universe? He thinks that civilization's chances of getting out of this century intact are about 50-50. He is hopeful that extraterrestrial life already exists, but there's no sign of it yet. But even if we are now alone, he notes that we may not even be the halfway stage of evolution. There is huge scope for post-human evolution, so that "it will not be humans who watch the sun's demise, 6 billion years from now. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae." Appropriately, Rees's Long Now talk was at the Chabot Space & Science Center in the hills above Oakland, in the planetarium. - The Long Now Foundation Martin John Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow, OM, FRS is a British cosmologist and astrophysicist.

Schoonover, author of The New York Times bestseller, Portraits of the Mind. Portraits collects images of the brain from medieval sketches to scans captured in today's labs for an amazing tour of the mind, with descriptions of each technique from leading neuroscientists.

Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century (Abrams, November 2010) follows the fascinating exploration of the brain through images. These beautiful black-and-white and vibrantly colored images, many resembling abstract art, are employed daily by scientists around the world, but most have never before been seen by the general public. From medieval sketches and 19th-century drawings by the founder of modern neuroscience to images produced using state-of-the-art techniques, readers are invited to witness the fantastic networks in the brain.

On a recent trip to Hong Kong I met up with clients and colleagues I last worked with back in the 1996! I was freelancing there and working for ATV World, presenting & creating TV shows, writing scripts, doing voice-overs and performing and directing shows for theatre and tours. It was great to be back in Honk Kong with a camera on the only nice day of our trip - great memories flooding back...! So I grabbed the chance to shoot some footage by the pool, with the perfect view - an amazing juxtaposition of nature and high-rises right in the centre of HK Island. We organised a small series of top tips to bear in mind when filming an 'OB' or Outside Broadcast, plus a couple of interviews to discuss how companies are using video in the Far East.

Eight Mobile Trends for 2012
 |
Complete video at: fora.tv Andy Weissman, a partner at Union Square Ventures, discusses what he sees as the biggest trends in mobile for 2012. The first phase is "mobile is dead", and he believes we're entering a phase where applications will be completely novel and cutting edge. ----- In Q4 2010, smartphone shipments overtook those of PCs for the first time. Throughout 2011, we saw traffic from non-PC devices in the US grow to seven percent of all digital traffic, fueled by the adoption of tablets. And last month, PayPal data revealed a four-fold (371 percent) increase in the number of customers shopping through mobile devices on Black Friday. Accordingly, the conversation among marketers has shifted from anticipating the impact of mobile technology to reacting to the ways by which the mobile population is challenging traditional norms governing consumer behavior. In January, L2 will release its first Prestige 100: Mobile IQ Index, profiling the mobile efforts of 100 leading brands across five distinct industries: Beauty and Cosmetics, Fashion, Hospitality, Luxury Retail, and Watches and Jewelry. In this Clinic, we will explore the most critical trends in the mobile space. Topics will include implementation of mobile payment systems, augmented consumerism, mobile advertising, the impact of HTML5, and associated case studies. |

Lessig: 'Money Buys Results in Congress'
 |
Complete video at: fora.tv Lawrence Lessig, professor of law at Stanford University, points out a fact that we all know: Congress has been corrupted by money. Government distrust has led to abysmal Congressional approval ratings, and he asserts, "there was more support for the British Crown in our government at the time of the Revolution than there is support for our Congress today." ----- A dazzlingly incisive presenter, Lawrence Lessig specializes in identifying deep systemic problems in public process (such as copyright malfunction and Congressional dysfunction) and then showing how they can be cured. Currently he is bearing down on the corruption of Congress by the practice of private funding for public elections through campaign contributions. He writes: "The dependency of modern campaign finance is the single most important cause of the bankruptcy of Congress. Fixing this bankruptcy is the single most important reform effort that Americans face just now." As he did with helping fix copyright problems via Creative Commons, he has a plan for reforming elections to reestablish Congressional trust and effectiveness. (Public trust in Congress is currently at 12%.) Lessig is director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University and author of Republic, Lost (2011) and Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace (2000 and 2006). - The Long Now Foundation |
