Not the computers (a given), but the buildings physically falling in. Scientists have conjectured that much as the ancients thought cold was an active force rather than merely the absence of heat, stupidity may be a real thing. The extraordinary amounts of stupid have acted like a black hole, increasing local gravity to the point where nothing can resist. Windows 7: stupid, and Microsoft: evil. O As this has only affected people who pay for, sell ut t N No or install legitimate Microsoft software it isn’t very ow important. ! ABC leaks like sieve by staff writers Leak responses go from turgid to tepid. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s plans for upcoming first run Chameleon Factor # 80 Doctor Who specials and Torchwood: Children of Earth have leaked up to O Ou three months ahead of time. ut So oo n! No one from the national broadcaster was willing to go on the record about ! this leak, however they have repeated that their policy is they will only con- firm broadcast dates up to four weeks ahead of time. They will go further unofficially and with the guarantee of press embargo, neither of which occurred this time. An update appeared on a television gossip site on 3 November, outlining broadcast plans through January. Until recently ABC took this sort of leak very seriously and threatened disciplinary action up to dismissal for staff. ABC’s responce has lessened to the point of indifference in this instance.

ABC leaks like sieve q from Page 1 I m a The good news is that following the BBC’s 15 November broadcast of The Waters g e of Mars, ABC1 will transmit it in the second week of December. This is signifi- c . cantly less than a month and is comparable to the turnaround on Planet of the M Dead. The final two Tennant specials will however take the usual full month to e t r reach Australian audiences, and can be expected in late January. Torchwood: o T Children of Earth will play weekly on ABC2 from the first week in January. The V rights to series four of Doctor Who expire in 2010, and ABC2 will repeat the episodes. Despite the TEN network being a production partner in K-9, they still have no public schedule for the programme.

    The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien The Things They Carried First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

    Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. Richard Berger The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice. Bournemouth University Poole Dorset BH12 5BB + 44 (0)1202) 961622. [email protected] Biography. I am currently Reader in Media & Education at the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, Bournemouth University, UK. I am programme leader for the Masters in Creative & Media Education and I coordinate pedagogic research in the Media School at Bournemouth. My other research interests include the adaptation of literature, comic books and videogames to film and television as well as blogging, fanfic, and other forms of personal expression online. In addition I am an experienced broadcaster and journalist for BBC Online and BBC Radio, a regular contributor to the independent film magazine, The Big Picture, and co-editor of The Media Research Journal. Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. In summer 2004 an independent study of the BBC’s web provision was published. The Graf Report stated for the first time that the BBC’s web content should be now viewed as the corporation’s third medium – alongside radio and television. In addition the report put the case for what it called ‘360 degree commissioning’ whereby content was produced across the BBC’s platforms, simultaneously. The effect was almost immediate, with the BBC shutting down some of its many websites and reorganizing its new media division as elements of existing departments, rather than an adjunct to radio and television output. At the same time discussions were already underway for the revival of a television franchise which had been largely ignored for 16 years, despite having an almost fanatical following.
