The document discusses an announcement that a record number of eight new TV shows will begin filming in New York this year, providing over 4,700 new jobs. This is due to an extension of the state's 30% tax credit for TV and film production. Some of the shows filming in New York include Smash, Rookies, Pan Am, and I Just Want My Pants Back. Officials credit the tax credit program with helping New York regain work from productions that had previously filmed in other states with incentives.

Covering Companies Syllabus (Fall 2011) — BartlettJermaine Taylor
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
If the economy is the theater, then companies are the actors on the stage. How they manage and finance themselves, the products and services they sell, and the strategies and behaviors they adopt can leave an indelible impact on our society. Whether it’s BP with its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the financial debacles at AIG and Bear Stearns, or the gravity-defying growth of Apple, Google and Facebook, companies are frequently cast as the villains or heroes of our society.
We are living at a time of unusually fierce ideological warfare, a period in which society’s scrutiny of corporate behavior is particularly intense. All the more important, then, that students have the ability to think analytically about companies, rather than casting them in superficial roles. This course will focus on the fundamentals: students will learn how to interview executives aggressively but fairly, evaluate corporate strategies, analyze earnings reports, and understand the role of capital markets and investors in a company’s success or failure. Students will also learn about the regulatory environment in which companies operate, and become familiar with current corporate governance issues. We will use companies in the news as our fodder for classroom discussion.
Students will select one company to cover for the semester that will form the basis for stories, whether on the company’s strategic positioning, its quarterly earnings, its corporate governance or its CEO. Print, multimedia and broadcast pieces will be deconstructed in class to show students the different ways that storytelling about companies can occur.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the semester, students will:
• Be familiar with the basic language of business.
• Know how to dissect corporate earnings statements.
• Have experience interviewing executives, analysts and investors
• Be adept at analyzing corporate strategies.
• Be proficient at producing stories about companies in an engaging way

Manchild in the Promised Land: The Tragic Death of Michael Brown Jr., and An ...Jermaine Taylor
1. The document summarizes a book about the structural problems in the Ferguson, Missouri school district that disadvantaged black families long before Michael Brown was killed by a police officer.
2. It discusses how the subpar schooling laid the groundwork for tensions between police and the black community by limiting social mobility and exacerbating racial inequalities.
3. The author hopes that discussions about the case will help address issues of race, class, and social mobility to improve outcomes for other youth of color, as Michael Brown did not live to see progress himself.

A Q&A with IMSA Alum Cristal Garcia Stanford ’11 and Rhiana Gunn-Wright Yale ’11Jermaine Taylor
Opened in 1986, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, IL., is a three-year residential high school for students who show strong promise academically, especially in STEM (or science, technology, engineering and mathematics.) But unlike some gifted schools, where students are drawn chiefly from affluent areas, IMSA, as it’s known, has earned a reputation for seeking out talented students from across the state of Illinois.
Some IMSA students, like Cristal Garcia, a first-generation Mexican American from Melrose Park, come from communities where college-going wasn’t the norm. In fact, when Cristal arrived at IMSA—where it’s not uncommon for many students to go on to Ivy League schools—in the fall of 2004, she did so knowing that if she was successful, she would actually be creating a totally new tradition all her own.
Others, like Rhiana Gunn-Wright, from Englewood on Chicago’s South Side, arrived at IMSA with what some might call a college-going “head start” on her first-generation peers. Both of Rhiana’s parents are college degree holders, and it had never really crossed her mind growing up that she also wouldn’t one day earn her degree. Still, her family’s college-going tradition didn’t make her any less driven than her other classmates. She wanted more.
We spoke to them about their time at IMSA, making the transition to college, and when and how they “hit their stride” as undergraduates.

A Renewed Approach to Community College PersistenceJermaine Taylor
This document discusses the low persistence rates of community college students and calls for renewed approaches to increasing those rates. It notes that only about 50% of first-time community college students return for a second year, and the national freshman to sophomore retention rate is around 53%. It argues that a lack of student support services contributes to students falling through the cracks. It advocates that community colleges research models like CUNY's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs, which significantly increased graduation rates, and consider partnering with four-year schools to access more resources and assistance for their students. Overall, it asserts that community colleges must enact swift changes proportional to students' needs to better serve the many ambitious students who currently face challenges in completion

A Q&A with Co-Author of ‘Hold Fast to Dreams’ Joshua SteckelJermaine Taylor
Joshua Steckel transitioned from being a college counselor at an upper-east side private school to working at a public school in Brooklyn with predominantly low-income, minority students. He did this because he felt it was unfair that privileged students were getting additional support in the college process while many low-income students lacked advocacy. His book "Hold Fast to Dreams" chronicles the journey of several diverse students from his Brooklyn school as they strive to achieve their college dreams despite facing significant obstacles. The book follows the students for 4 years after high school graduation to show how their struggles and triumphs are heroic but often left out of national conversations about higher education opportunities.

The Missing “One-Offs”: The Hidden Supply of High-Achieving, Low-Income StudentsJermaine Taylor
1) The study finds that the vast majority of low-income, high-achieving students do not apply to selective colleges, unlike their high-income counterparts with similar achievement levels.
2) Low-income students are divided into two groups: "achievement-typical" students who apply similarly to high-income students, and "income-typical" students who do not apply to selective schools.
3) Income-typical students tend to come from smaller districts without selective public schools or critical masses of other high achievers, and are less likely to encounter teachers from selective colleges.
What My Greatest Failure Taught Me (Commentary)Jermaine Taylor
The author shares his experience of failing as a young teacher of black boys in Newark. In just two months, he judged the boys as unsalvageable and quit, blaming them for being rude, lazy, and indifferent. A decade later, he realizes the real failure was his own - for not understanding the environments the boys came from and unfairly rushing to negative judgments of them. The author argues society must do better for young black boys, starting education and support from an early age to combat prejudices, and not wait until problems arise to intervene. We must change our preconceived notions of black boys and give each a fresh start.
