On behalf of everyone at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, we sincerely wish this to be one of the most meaningful innovation events you experience. You all are a part of today’s outcomes: whether you are judging or mentoring, sponsoring or volunteering. And hackers, whether or not you are a winner this time, we want you to gain something even more valuable than a prize: a view into a whole new field of challenges to explore, the “pain points” of pediatric medicine and health. Solving problems at the intersection of biology, technology, and human nature, your talents will be stoked to full steam. As you analyze-collaborate-build-break-repeat, keep in mind that your solution will be more valuable than the immediate problem it might solve. Ultimately, your idea could change the trajectory of a child’s life — and in so doing, change the future. Again, thank you, and have fun! George V. Mazariegos, MD, FACS Chief of Pediatric Transplantation UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Professor of Surgery and Critical Care University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Srinivasan Suresh, MD, MBA, FAAP Chief Medical Information Officer UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Visiting Professor of Pediatrics University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine The mission of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is to improve the health and well-being of children, teenagers, and young adults, through excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and advocacy.

    A SONY PICTURES CLASSICS RELEASE www.itmightgetloudmovie.com Running time: 97 minutes *Official Selection: 2008 Toronto International Film Festival *Official Selection: 2009 Sundance Film Festival Publicity Distributor PMK/HBH Sony Pictures Classics Allen Eichhorn Carmelo Pirrone 622 Third Avenue Lindsay Macik 8th Floor 550 Madison Ave New York, NY 10017 New York, NY 10022 212-373-6115 Tel: 212-833-8833 [email protected] Short Synopsis Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play. Long Synopsis Who hasn't wanted to be a rock star, join a band or play electric guitar? Music resonates, moves and inspires us. Strummed through the fingers of The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, somehow it does more. Such is the premise of It Might Get Loud, a new documentary conceived by producer Thomas Tull. It Might Get Loud isn't like any other rock'n roll documentary.

  • Legendary Entertainment: Film Making in the Age of Analytics
    Legendary Entertainment: Film Making in the Age of Analytics Written by Alva H. Taylor, Faculty Director, Center for Digital Strategies, Associate Professor of Business Administration On the red eye flight back from Los Angeles to Boston, Matt Marolda T’02, reflected on his new role as Chief Analytics Officer for Legendary Pictures. Marolda had been recruited by Legendary CEO Thomas Tull to bring analytics to his film company. Tull was worried that the film company was becoming overconfident with their past successes such as the Hangover Trilogy, Pacific Rim, and The Dark Knight Rises. Marolda, who arrived at Legendary in 2013, has seen the reliance and confidence of Tull in using analytic information to make strategic decisions. During the interview process however, Marolda was clear to stress that analytics would not give Legendary the answers, but it would help the company base their decisions on facts rather than assumptions and increase the probability of success. While makinkg strategic decisions in uncertain environments is always a gamble, using analytics takes the gamble from playing a random play slot machine to playing black jack and being able to count cards. While Marolda felt the opportunity was clear, the thoughts of how much he had to learn about applying analytics to the film industry was preventing him from falling asleep on the flight. A Start in Sports Marolda founded the analytics company StratBridge in 1999. The initial successful product of StratBridge was StratTix. StratTix was an analysis tool that used data on potential customers and shifts in demand to make pricing and ticket promotion decisions.

We describe the evolu- tion of the system infrastructure, starting from the initial in- stallation in 2010 at one venue, to its use across a dozen venues today. We address the challenges of scaling the system through a combination of techniques, including dis- tributed monitoring, remote administration, and automated replay-generation. In particular, we take an in-depth look at our unique automated replay-generation, including the dash- board, the remote management, the remote administration, and the resulting efficiency, using data from a 2013 NBA Playoffs game.

Rivero Comic-Con Souvenir Book Cover, Dick Giordano, 1981 (Stadler, Mark, ed. 1981 San Diego Comic-Con Souvenir Book. San Diego: San Diego Comic-Con, Inc., 1981.) © Erin Hanna 2014 For Daddy I only have to close my eyes dear And suddenly I’m where you are ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seems strange, at the end of a process so dependent on intensive research and critical thought, to shift gears and channel something directly from my heart onto the page. Some people talk about their dissertation or book as a labour of love. But if I’m speaking from the heart here, I should confess that most of the time it just felt like a lot of really hard work; hard work that was fueled by the love and generosity of a lot of people, whom I’m incredibly lucky to have in my life. It’s really their love that made my labour possible. I was very fortunate to have an array of fabulous professors and mentors as I worked towards my Bachelors and Masters degrees at York University’s Department of Film. John McCullough and Suzie Young encouraged me to pursue graduate school and their instruction and mentorship spurred my intellectual growth and changed the way I thought about media.
