Students should be completing their Common App or other on line applications. Computers are available in the guidance office for students to use to work on their applications. If a senior hasn’t seen their counselor to discuss their plans for next year they should do so before the end of the month. Application Help Nights will be held on November 12 and December 10 in room 2200. Guidance Counselors will be available from 4:00-7:00 to assist students as they finish their college applications.

Whether one is a devotee of a long-running, time-tested procedural on basic cable, or a binge-watching cord-cutter glued to Hulu© on Sunday afternoons, for many of us, our television viewing habits are a part of who we are. But outside the industry where new television content is conceived and created, it is rare to pause and consider how television series are made, much less where this work is performed, and why, and by whom, and how much money is spent along the way. In this study we explore notable developments impacting the television industry and how those changes affect production levels in California and competing jurisdictions. Some of the trends we consider are: growth in the number of live-action scripted series in production, the influence of digital streaming services on this number, increasing production costs and a turn toward remakes and reboots and away from traditional pilot production.

  • Macgyver Problems: AI Challenges for Testing Resourcefulness and Creativity
    ACS Poster Collection (2018) 1–15 Published 8/2018; Paper X MacGyver Problems: AI Challenges for Testing Resourcefulness and Creativity Vasanth Sarathy [email protected] Matthias Scheutz [email protected] Department of Computer Science, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155 USA Abstract When faced with real-world problems that seem unsolvable, humans display an exceptional degree of flexibility and creativity, improvising solutions with the limited resources available. In this essay, we propose a class of domain-independent AI challenge tasks - MacGyver Problems - that target these capabilities. We present a formal framework for generating these problems and outline a set of independent subtasks that will let the research community make progress. We also consider, informally, ways in which researchers can measure progress and evaluate agents under the proposed framework. 1. Introduction How should we evaluate machine intelligence? This a long-standing problem in AI and robotics. From Alan Turing’s original question about whether machines can think (Turing, 1950) to today’s plethora of robotics and AI challenges (Levesque et al., 2012; Feigenbaum, 2003; Boden, 2010; Bringsjord & Sen, 2016; Cohen, 2005; Harnad, 1991; Riedl, 2014) and data sets (Johnson et al., 2017; Weston et al., 2015) , the question of what makes a suitable test is still open, relevant, and crucial to judging progress in AI while guiding its research and development. The crux of this question is a choice about what we should measure. The Turing Test focused on natural language interactions; its progenies have since expanded to include vision, planning, game playing, localization and mapping and many others. Research in various AI subfields is often guided by these sorts of targeted data sets and challenges.

  • Will Forte's 'Macgruber' Lands at Peacock As a Series
    Will Forte's 'MacGruber' Lands at Peacock as a Series 08.10.2020 NBCUniversal's new streaming service, Peacock, is tapping its established comedy crew for three new series, while Amber Ruffin and Larry Wilmore will host back-to-back weekly late-night talkers, the company said Monday at the virtual Television Critics Association press tour. Two Saturday Night Live vets-Tina Fey and Will Forte-will executive produce new series on the service. Forte is bringing back MacGruber, a spoof on classic TV's MacGyver, after first debuting the character on Saturday Night Live and then turning the ongoing skit into a feature film in 2010. The eight-episode series will be directed by original director, Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone, who also wrote the skit on SNL. Forte's SNL castmate Kirsten Wiig is due to return as MacGruber's love interest. The above trailer cleverly cobbles together stock footage with socially-distanced takes of Forte in character on a rock by the beach at sunset. MacGruber is expected to premiere on Peacock in 2021. Forte serves as writer and executive producer alongside John Solomon and Taccone. Lorne Michaels, John Goldwyn, Andrew Singer and Erin David also serve as executive producers. MacGruber is from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Broadway Video. Another famous SNL alum, Tina Fey, is again partnering with Robert Carlock (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) on Girls5eva starring Sara Bareilles, who is just coming off of composing the soundtrack and producing Apple TV+'s Little Voice. Bareilles stars as a member of a 90s girl group that returns to fame when they get sampled by a famous rapper, but now they have middle-aged things to deal with like kids, mortgages and so forth.

  • Making Engineers Sexy I Don't Know Many Engineers
    Making Engineers Sexy I don’t know many engineers who write novels, particularly thriller novels. In fact, other than me, I can’t think of any off the top of my head, and I’m not even published. There are plenty of doctors (Michael Crichton, Tess Gerritsen), lawyers (John Grisham, Scott Turow), insurance salesmen (Tom Clancy), and even a veterinarian (James Rollins). But where are all the engineers? Dr. Paul Santi, a professor of geological engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, wrote a great article titled On Making Engineers Sexy, (http://fie- conference.org/fie97/papers/1512.pdf) which got me thinking about the image problem engineers have in popular entertainment, if you can even find them. Books, TV shows, and movies featuring engineer characters are about as common as Mensa meetings featuring Paris Hilton. There’s Scotty, of course, from Star Trek, and his successor, Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. All told, there are probably more engineers featured in the Star Trek canon than all other forms of entertainment combined, but I’m a big fan and even I can’t remember them. After those two examples, the list gets mighty thin. Dirk Pitt is one of my favorites, a marine engineer with dozens of adventures in the Clive Cussler novels, but he really identifies himself more as an ocean specialist and adventurer than as an engineer, so he barely counts. Then there’s the ultimate engineer, MacGyver (and his alter ego, MacGruber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhKdrbRW5vY)–the guy’s a friggin’ genius!).
