Doctor Who On PBS
Doctor Who
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
For the last several months my local PBS Station Maryland Public Television (MPT) hasn't been running any Dcotor Who episodes they always seem to have other things scheduled in the old Doctor Who time slot. In the past they would always start at midnight Saturday night (Sunday morning) and go to at least 1:30 AM and they would run all the episodes from the First Doctor William Hartnell through the 7th Doctor Sylvester McCoy. When they have shown any Doctor Who episodes it has always been the 45 minute episodes of the 9th Doctor Christopher Eccleston and then 15 minutes behind the scenes of the making of Doctor Who which kind of ruins it for you.
I've been meaning to get in touch with them and see what is up with the disappearance of Doctor Who from their schedule. Personally, I would prefer they go back to the old format and forget about the 45 minute episodes. I always looked forward to watching Doctor Who on MPT and I would sometimes phone in to Pledge to MPT for Doctor Who during their Pledge Drives.
"Maryland Public TV has told viewers that their rights to Doctor Who have expired. This would presumably be the rights to classic Who, as MPT has the right to air Series 1 another 2 times before February 28, 2009. Doctor Who is off the schedule for the first time in at least 23 years! They indicated that they might be able to get new episodes later. It is unknown if they have purchased Series 2 of new Who, which is available."
From http://www.gallifreyone.com/thisweek.php
Thanks for the update fluteflute I wasn't aware of this. And all this time I thought it was MPT doing it deliberately. I just don't care for the 45 minute episodes. What a waste!! Why did they have to go and change the formula that worked forever? I can remeber when both WETA channel 26 and MPT channel 3 both carried Doctor Who at the same time.
I think I might invest in buying the William Hartnell Doctor Who episodes on DVD as well Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, etc. I already own several Doctor Who VHS tapes including the Peter Cushing movies.
sadly some of Hartnells and many of Toughtons episodes are lost forever. I appreciate the chance to see what is still available, and the BBC seems to have stepped up their "classic series" DVD releases to almost one-per-month, so the list of available DVDs is growing faster than ever.
I believe all the "lost episodes" are available on audio CD, with linking narration provided (usually) by an actor who portrayed a companion in the story. Between these audios and the "Missing Adventure" and "Past Doctor Adventure" book series' I've gained a greater appreciation of 60s Doctor Who.
It's a sad time for MPT - I'm sure they did all they could. They've had a strong fan base donating to keep the show on for ages.
I have all the existing episodes (except 2 or 3) recorded from MPT, my dad taped them (since I don't live within MPT broadcasting range anymore) - lots of fond memories of watching with fellow MPTers.
My video collection includes several DW fund-raisers on MPT, with their clueless hosts often mistaking all the doctors and episodes for one another. One host, frustrated with callers correcting him, reiterates that he is *certain* that 'Robots of Death' features Pertwee and other beautiful flubs. The station usually did a good job of broadcasting in order. Local Klingon groups (SF fans is SF fans) answering the phones while 'Doctoring The TARDIS' plays on a loop, etc.
Good times :)
I used to love to see Tom Baker Sylvester McCoy and his companion, Ace, Sophie Aldred brought in to help get the phones ringing during their PBS Pledge Drives. I have mugs and t-shirts I got for Doctor Who from my Pledge Donations to MPT. However, THE Best thing I ever got from MPT for one of my Pledges is the Signed numbered Limited Edition of the Al HirschfeldThe Seven Doctors. I got it in the Spring of '89 when they were offering it for a Pledge of $500.00. I still have it to this day. Once I got it I had it framed. In the'90s I used to see them for Sale in the Sci-Fi Magazine, 1-800-TREKKER. At the time they were being offered for $1,995.00. I have no idea what they are worth in today's market. I'm just curious to know what it's worth so I can have it properly Insured, not that I'm interested in Selling it. I also have a couple of Doctor Who LP Albums. One of them being the Doctoring The Tardis. I have entered and won some of the MPT Auctions and won some really cool Doctor Who stuff like Comic Books, VHS Video Tapes and an Autographed Post Card from Doctor #7, Sylvester McCoy and his Companion, Sophie Aldred.
I sent The Margo Feiden Galleries Ltd an E-Mail asking them what my Al Hisrchfeld Limited Edition Lithograph of The Seven Doctors is worth in today's market. I hope to hear from them real soon. It will be very interesting to find out exactly how much it is worth now.
The Hirschfeld lithograph was the best incentive they offered, I remember that pledge drive and how much I wanted it. I didn't have the cash, unfortunately.
Yea, I totally agree with you there. I can remember at the time thinking whether or not I should spend the $500 on The Hirschfeld Lithograph. Impulse won out and I figured I might as well because they started selling and I was afraid I might miss out on them. Later on in other Pledge Drives they had the image of The Seven Doctors put on t-shirts and tote bags as part of the selection of gifts you got for Pledging a certain amount of money. I also have a coffee mug that has the Tardis appear when you pour hot liquid in it and two glasses that when you pour cold liquid in it the Tardis appears at 76 Trotters Lane.

Fortunately, duck egg blue is far prettier than it sounds.
This desk was on my pick it before I paint it page, and a customer with some vision picked it with the perfect color combination in mind.
Duck Egg Blue and Old White.
Isn't the hardware hideous?! They look like knockers from an old medieval castle. So not right for this piece.
So much better!
One coat of duck egg for the frame of the desk and several coats of old white on the drawers with a coat of clear and dark waxes!
A very light distressing makes some of the details pop!
On a side note, we've had a killer week for furniture sales. I'm nearly wiped out and am kicking it into high gear to get some dramatic pieces ready for this week's Furniture Friday! Waiting to be completed is this French Farm style hutch. The outside is painted and it just needs the finishing details and then the arduous task of painting the inside.
Stay tuned for the finished reveal!

Good for you on the furniture frenzy - although it can be stressful! Painting the inside of hutches is definitely not the most fun.ReplyDelete
Oh so pretty! I love it. I HATE painting the inside of a hutch. Did you know that on a lot of those hutches the backs pop off pretty easily? Might be worth checking. xo DianaReplyDelete

Adweek: Your book is called Filter Bubble. What's that?
Eli Pariser: On the Internet, sites like Google and Facebook are only showing us the results that they think we want to see. If you Google "Egypt" and I Google "Egypt," we will get very different search results. And it's not just happening at Google. One of the biggest projects many of the biggest technology companies and websites are working on is personalizing what we see. So the filter bubble is the unique universe of information we see when surrounded by all these filters.
What's wrong with that?
It surrounds you with all the things that algorithms think you're most likely to click. So it will reflect your interest and your points of view, but won't expose you to things that you need to know that aren't quite as clickable. So here's an example: Afghanistan is something we really need to know about. But it's not going to do as well in these personalized algorithms because it's not as clickable.
Like an "eat your vegetables" approach to information? Why should a business care about feeding people their vegetables?
In the long run it's a much more satisfying experience to have those things that get you out of your bubble and to be exposed to new ideas and not just to be pandered to. The best media sources give people information dessert and information vegetables. If you think about a long New Yorker article that has cartoons on every page, it's the perfect example. There's tidbits that make you laugh and also a 50-page article on Scientology.
Have you been accused of being a Luddite?
Not really. This is what I do, messing around with technology and trying to build tools that help people do stuff online. That's what I've been doing at MoveOn. I love the Internet. I want it to be as good as we all hoped it would be back in the '90s. I feel like it's falling short, and I want to give it a nudge in the right direction.
Have you gotten any feedback from Google or Facebook?
I have talked to a bunch of people at Google and Facebook. I would say there are two categories. One category is summed up by a Facebook engineer I talked to who said, "Look, it's very easy to make changes to Facebook that keep people on the site longer. It's hard to figure out how to build social importance into the news feed. You're asking us to do something that's much more difficult and won't make us as much money in the short term."
The other school of thought, which I'm more inspired by, is engineers who actually feel like it's one of the most important, exciting, and difficult, but interesting challenges facing software writers right now. It falls below a lot of the other things on the priority list for these companies. We're hoping that as consumers, we're educated enough and understand how [the filter bubble] works and why it's falling short. And that that will create the pressure to bump it up as a priority for Facebook.
Right after printing cash, taking over the world, and spying on everyone.
Ha, yeah. One problem is the news industry certainly hasn't been doing as well for itself. But for a long time, in terms of profits, the major news networks were not hurting for money. And they had programming designed to introduce people to important news and not just treat them like consumers. If those companies could make that decision to become something more than just a business, so could Google and Facebook.
But news organizations don't necessarily have that luxury now.
In a way there's a passing of the torch. Now Google and Facebook are the ones rolling in money, and they could pick up the slack and allow people at their companies to make decisions that positively impact society.
The advertising industry loves personalization. How prominently do you think advertising interests play into Google's and Facebook's decisions that affect our media consumption?
I'm not as concerned about advertising that's targeted as I am about content that's targeted. It's one thing to personalize products, and it's another thing to personalize information. When you're showing people news based on who you think they are, you can really miss important things that are happening in the world. One of my favorite quotes from Mark Zuckerberg is, "A squirrel dying in your front yard may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa." I think people need to hear about both.
I bet he'd argue that he doesn't have a responsibility to inform people about Africa.
At times, Facebook says, "Nobody is forced to use Facebook, and we don't have a responsibility to anyone." But at other times, [Zuckerberg] talks about creating this new world of transparency and connectedness, and if he wants his products to be transformative in that way, he needs to grapple with this responsibility as well.

|Milestone win: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce pass NBA legends in laugher over Raptors
|03.13.13 at 9:53 pm ET
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce achieved significant NBA scoring milestones while leading the Celtics to a bounce-back 112-88 blowout win over the Raptors Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Garnett scored 12 points and passed Jerry West for 15th on the NBA's all-time scoring list with a dunk with 6:30 left in the first half. Pierce scored 15 and passed Charles Barkley for 20th place on the same list with a pair of free throws midway through the third quarters.
Both Pierce and Garnett received a video tribute during separate timeouts and a standing ovation from the Garden crowd.
Riding a two-game losing streak, the Celtics (35-29) raced out to an early 18-12 lead but thanks to six first-quarter turnovers, allowed Toronto to go on a 10-4 run to end the quarter and trailed the Raptors, 22-21, after 12 minutes. Seven Celtics scored in double figures and Shav Randolph was the only Celtic not to score.
The Celtics took better care of the ball in the second quarter and raced out to a 49-40 lead at the half, as Jeff Green scored 12 points in the quarter. Green finished with a team-best 20 points while Jason Terry and Jordan Crawford had 12 each off the bench.
THe Celtics quickly built their lead to 13 in the opening minute of the third, 53-40, but the Raptors came back to close to within four, 60-56. The Celtics finally put the game away with a 21-6 run to end the third and head into the fourth with an 81-62 lead. Former Celtic Sebastian Telfair picked up his second technical foul in the third quarter intermission and was ejected.
The Celtics built their lead up to as many as 25 in garbage time, allowing Doc Rivers to take out Garnett with just under 10 minutes left. However, unlike the night before, Garnett was getting rest because of a blowout lead.
The win came one night after arguably Boston's worst effort of the season in a 26-point loss to the lowly Bobcats in Charlotte. The Celtics have Thursday off and will practice Friday in advance of their rare Saturday night home game, a revenge contest against the Bobcats at the Garden.
The Celtics will conclude their three-game homestand with a Monday night game at the Garden with LeBron James and the Heat, who ran their win streak to 20 games with a narrow 98-94 win over the Sixers Wednesday night in Philadelphia. The Heat have road games against Milwaukee Friday and Toronto Sunday afternoon before taking on the Celtics in Boston Monday night.

|Fast Break: Paul Pierce, Celtics ground Hawks in overtime
|03.08.13 at 10:50 pm ET
The over-35 crew of Paul Pierce (27 points), Jason Terry (19) and Kevin Garnett (17) combined for 63 points, 19 rebounds and 14 assists, leading the Celtics to their fifth straight win — 107-102 over the Hawks in overtime — and helped the C's keep pace with the Bulls in the Eastern Conference seeding race.
Piercing hot: In the first quarter, Pierce made his first four buckets, including two 3-pointers, to finish with 12 points in the opening 12 minutes. Of course, he missed his easiest shot of the frame — a layup as time expired — but his shooting set the tone for the C's 28-point quarter. Garnett and Avery Bradley also started a combined 4-of-6.
And more Pierce: The captain dropped back-to-back 18-foot jumpers late in the fourth quarter to keep pace with a furious Atlanta comeback. In overtime, he drained a 27-footer with a hand in his face to regain the lead with 1:37 remaining. And he assisted on Terry's 3 that gave the C's a 105-102 lead a minute later. Basically, he did it all.
Board to death: The Hawks started big against the Celtics with Josh Smith, Al Horford and Johan Petro in the frontcourt. While Horford and Smith combined for 20 points, 9 rebounds and six assists in the first half, the Celtics owned a 19-16 rebounding edge, didn't allow a single second-chance point and took a 52-47 lead into halftime. That margin got flipped on its heels in the second half, when the Hawks made their comeback, and the Hawks star tandem totaled 54 points, 21 boards and 14 assists to give Atlanta a 41-35 rebounding edge.
KG being KG: Regardless of which lineup Celtics coach Doc Rivers pieced around Garnett, the C's center made the most of his 35 minutes. He started 7-of-11 from the field — including a 3 in a second straight game that even got him excited — to go along with his eight boards and two dimes. When the Hawks cut the lead to two starting the fourth quarter, Garnett seemingly had a hand in every play, including a beautiful assist to a cutting Courtney Lee and a driving baby hook over Horford that pushed the lead back to 12.
Jason Terry connected on a straightaway 3-pointer with 35 seconds left in overtime to lead the Celtics to a thrilling 107-102 win over the Hawks Friday night at an electrified TD Garden. The game marked a franchise-record 11th overtime game for the Celtics this season, with Boston going 7-4 in those contests.
More importantly, it extended Boston's home-court winning streak to nine games and improved them to a season-best seven games over .500 at 34-27. They tied Atlanta (34-27) in the East. The Hawks entered the night as the No. 5 seed in the East.
Paul Pierce had 27 points while Kevin Garnett added 17 points to lead the Celtics, who won their ninth straight at home. Terry had 19 points to lead the Boston bench while Jeff Green added 12.
The Hawks, who burned the Celtics with 12 3-pointers in their double-overtime win in Atlanta on Jan. 25, came out blazing again Friday night. Devin Harris, Jeff Teague and Josh Smith connected from long range to account for Atlanta's first three field goals on the night.
Smith finished with a game-high 32 points while Al Horford had 22 points and 13 rebounds. The Hawks finished the night 9-of-27 from long range.
The Celtics built a 10-point lead in the second quarter, 41-31, as the Celtics rode the hot shooting of Pierce and Jason Terry. Pierce was 5-for-7 from the field in the first half, including a pair of threes in the first quarter while Terry scored all 10 of his first-half points in the second quarter. Terry finished with 14 off the bench.
But the Hawks made a 13-2 run to take a very brief 44-43 lead on an Anthony Tolliver 3-pointer. The Celtics responded by finishing the half on an 8-4 run to take a 52-47 lead to the locker room.
After the Hawks closed to within seven, 86-79, Jeff Green, who was slowed by the Hawks for the first three quarters, threw down a spectacular reverse dunk with 5:14 left to put Boston up, 88-79.
But the Hawks weren't done. Jeff Teague converted a three-point play when he was fouled on a layup and hit the free throw to help Atlanta close to within five, 90-85, with just over three minutes left. Smith then hit a layup with 2:54 left as the Hawks cut the Boston lead down to three, 90-87.
Pierce hit an 18-foot fadeaway jumper with 2:26 left to restore the lead to five before Smith came back to answer, making it 92-89 Celtics. After a Garnett missed jumper, Kyle Korver hit a three with 1:31 left to tie the game, 92-92. Pierce hit another fadeaway from 18 feet to put the Celtics up but Al Horford got free for a game-tying dunk with 55.2 seconds left.
The Hawks had a chance to take the lead with 31 seconds left but Smith committed a turnover with a bad pass and Garnett came up with the steal with 25 seconds left. Pierce ran an iso play at the top of the key before dishing to Garnett with five seconds left in regulation. Garnett missed his jumper, giving the Hawks a chance with 2.2 seconds left. Harris inbounded for the Hawks to Smith, who missed an open look over Brandon Bass.
The Hawks scored the first four points of overtime before the Celtics responded. Green's baseline three hit the front of the rim, bounced straight up in the air and rattled home with 2:34 left in overtime, putting Boston back up, 99-98. With the shot clock about to expire, Smith drained a three with 2:14 left to put Atlanta back up, 101-99. Pierce connected for a three with 1:37 left to put the Celtics back up, 102-101. Smith connected on 1-of-2 free throws with 1:20 left to tie the game, 102-102.
Terry drilled a straightaway three with 35 seconds left to put the Celtics up, 105-102. The Celtics are off Saturday before taking on Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET

|The true brilliance of Doc Rivers: 'It's great when you win on execution'
|03.06.13 at 11:09 pm ET
Everyone is going to point to the back-pick play drawn up by Doc Rivers, with a huge assist to offensive coach Armond Hill, as the latest example of what makes Rivers one of the truly best coaches in the NBA.
And they should.
But his real brilliance comes in how he's prepared Jeff Green for the game-winning moment all season. Kevin Garnett fired a bullet pass to Green under the basket after Paul Pierce set Green free on a perfect back-pick. Green makes the adjustment under the basket, puts the game-winner off glass for an 83-81 road win over the second-seeded Pacers.
'It was executed great," Rivers said. "We got it down to the last second. Either Kevin was going to try and hit Jeff or [hit Paul Pierce]. The whole play was [made] by Paul Pierce's back pick. He was terrific. He set a nice back pick. They [Pacers] got a little mixed and then Jeff had to make a tough shot. They doubled Kevin so the pass was a little bit off-mark and Jeff had to adjust but it's great when you win on execution.
'I told our players I had drawn up another play. Armond Hill walked over, and he rarely does it, and he says, 'Listen, the play you drew up in the first half worked so let's run it again.' So I switched to the play that he wanted me to run and it was great. It worked out perfect."
Funny thing, earlier in the season, Rivers probably would've gone with his first instincts for a pick-and-roll but decided to go with Hill's recommendation.
'It was going to be a pick-and-roll, actually a pick-and-roll with Jeff and Kevin because we like that combination because Jeff is at the '4' with his speed can always get a shot off," Rivers said.
Green has been brought along at a pace all season that varied between breakneck and breakdown. Rivers struggled all season to find that comfort range for Green to excel so that he could put Green in the position he was Wednesday night on the road – a tired team that needed young legs to make up a 14-point deficit in the second half against a red-hot, No. 2 seed in the East.
Thursday night was not one of Green's best games but it was one of his best moments. Eleven points in 34 minutes. He was just 5-of-14 from the field. Still, Rivers and Hill believed in Green enough to draw up the game-winning play to go to him. It was why Pierce was grinning ear-to-ear coming out of the timeout. Read the rest of this entry »
|Perfectly played: C's steal a huge road win over Pacers
|at 9:27 pm ET
Jeff Green scored on a reverse lay-up on a bullet pass from Kevin Garnett with 0.5 seconds left in the fourth quarter to lift the Celtics to an unlikely 83-81 road win over the Pacers, Wednesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The brilliant play was drawn up by head coach Doc Rivers and executed by a team that appears to be hitting its stride.
Rivers called for Green to get free on the baseline on a back-pick set by Pierce, with Garnett at the top of the key. That's exactly how the play unfolded as Green got free underneath, caught the ball under the basket and turned his body just in time to hit the layup off the glass.
Garnett finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley finished with 13 points apiece for the Celtics, who won their fourth straight and improved to a season-best six games over .500 at 33-27. They also improved to 12-4 without Rajon Rondo.
With the Celtics playing their second road game in 24 hours, the Pacers were predictably the stronger team out of the blocks, shooting out to a 27-19 lead after one.
The Celtics got a layup from Pierce right before the halftime buzzer as Boston cut Indiana's lead to seven, 49-42, at the break.
Garnett made history with a defensive rebound in the first minute of the third quarter. It was his sixth of the game and No. 13,370 of his career, passing Wes Unseld for 10th all time in NBA history.
The Pacers went to their inside game to build the lead to 14, 63-49, midway through the third but the Celtics finished the quarter on a 9-5 run to close to within 10, 68-58, heading into the fourth.
The Celtics pulled to within one, 73-72, on a Jason Terry three with just over six minutes left, capping a 20-7 run. The Pacers then responded with the next eight points to build a nine-point lead.
As great as the play execution was for the Celtics, Boston was the beneficiary of some highly questionable play-calling on the part of the Pacers. Leading by 14 points and with Roy Hibbert taking it to the Celtics inside, Pacers fell in love with the three-point shot, finishing a miserable 6-of-27 from long range.
The Pacers had all five starters in double figures, led by Paul George with 16 points. David West had 11 points and 16 rebounds while Hibbert finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The Celtics are off Thursday before returning to action Friday at home against Atlanta at TD Garden. For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Jeff Green: A hard fall 'woke me up'
|03.02.13 at 10:00 am ET
Jeff Green chose to use humor to deal with pain Friday night – specifically the pain of falling down on his left side hard midway through the third quarter.
Green fell to the floor with 6:13 left in the third quarter. He remained there on the court for several minutes while Celtics trainer Ed Lacerte tended to him.
"I fell. I didn't hurt myself. I was tired so I wanted to lay there a little bit and catch my breath. It kind of woke me up a little bit, got my shot to start fall so I'm glad I fell."
'He was fine," Doc Rivers said. "He came back in and played great. I thought Jeff struggled tonight. And it was almost after he got down he came back in and played really well. I thought he kind of got it going. You know in his defense offensively, I thought our spacing was poor in the first half. Every time, there were no driving lanes for him, and we were small. And when you're small, you should have a lot of driving lanes."
After the fall, Green came back in with 2:22 left in the third, sporting a white protective sleeve on his left elbow and arm. He hit his next two shots and finished the game by hitting six of seven attempts, scoring 18 points on the night in Boston's 94-86 win over the Warriors at TD Garden.
'He was awesome," Paul Pierce said. "He really carried us that fourth quarter, took it upon himself to be aggressive. You know, he's coming into his own, after a slow start, which you can expect. Its tough when you take a year off from basketball and try to get back in the game, but I think since January he's just been phenomenal, very consistent doing what we ask on both ends of the court, and he's getting better and better as time goes on.'
Asked if it would just be easier for Rivers to just hit him in the head to wake him up the next time, Green laughed, "I would like that to happen. Those things seem to happen for a reason. Tonight was just not a 'smack in the head' type of night for me."
What exactly happened on the fall?
"My whole body hurt," Green said. "Whatever hurts in the morning, I guess that's what I fell on the most."
|Paul Pierce gets attitude adjustment and Celtics pull away
|03.01.13 at 11:53 pm ET
Doc Rivers saw it. Paul Pierce knew it.
The Celtics captain was sulking in the third quarter as the Warriors came out fast and took the lead after Boston controlled most of the first half.
Both knew it had to change and fast.
'Yeah, I think I was the one that kind of brought the body tone down a little bit, because I made some bad turnovers there to start the third quarter, kind of got me down," Pierce said. "So it was up to me to kind of get it back, get the team back on. That's what I try to do, I cant have any lapses like that because it really affect the team and I realize that, so I have to do a better job in that department.'
"He started out playing great and then when I subbed him and brought him back in, I don't know what happened. We were turning the ball over and he was struggling," Rivers said. "It was funny, in the third quater, the only thing I told him was I don't care that you're not playing well in this stretch or we're not, I just hate our body language right now. And I give Paul a lot of credit, he basically said, 'That's on me. That's my fault.'
"I thought we were hanging our heads a lot in the third quarter. We were turning the ball over and we were missing shots. The end of the world is not going to happen. We just have to keep playing. I didn't like the way we responded to that and I thought Paul did a good job in the timeout right after that of getting the guys back."
Pierce finished with a game-high 26 points in Boston's 94-86 win over Stephen Curry and the Warriors Friday night at TD Garden.
'It was good," Pierce said. "You play a quality ball club who's playoff-bound who's very dangerous in the West, capable of beating anybody. Sometimes that first game at home feels like a road game, your body is readjusting. You know you haven't been in this building in a couple of weeks, so sometimes its difficult. We were a little sloppy with the ball, but it's a good win nevertheless."
The Celtics actually went into a zone defense when Avery Bradley went out with his fifth foul with eight minutes left in the third quarter.
'I think it really bothered them," Pierce said. "They're a great one-on-one team who really thrives on taking you off the dribble, making an extra pass, shooting the three-ball'¦.I think it altered their offense a little bit once we got into the zone. It was really effective, especially in the second half.'
Jeff Green took a hard spill on his left side midway through the third and when he returned, the Celtics went on a 9-0 run to pull away for good late in the third.
'He was awesome tonight," Pierce said of Green, who finished with 18 points. "He really carried us in that fourth quarter, took it upon himself to be aggressive. You know, he's coming into his own, after a slow start, which you can expect. Its tough when you take a year off from basketball and try to get back in the game, but I think since January he's just been phenomenal, very consistent doing what we ask on both ends of the court, and he's getting better and better as time goes on.'

BBC Review
The greatest musical entity to emerge from Shepherds Bush bar none!
Greg Boraman 2005
British keyboard maestro Brian Auger achieved something virtually unheard of with this classic album upon its 1973 release. Closer To It, Brian's heady mix of jazz, soul, funk and rock entered the US Billboard Jazz, R 'n' B and Rock charts simultaneously! He had done such a great job blending and blurring musical boundaries.
Brian had been forging this very single minded path for nearly ten years previously in various groups The Steampacket and then The Trinity (with Julie Driscoll) his avowed aim to overlay funk, pop and soul rhythms with jazz harmony and solos. It was on Closer To It that Brian finally felt he had got as near as he could to the sound in his head and what a gloriously contemporary sound it still is. With Brian's vocals, his highly individual Hammond organ sound and funky electric piano stylings leading the way backed by a wonderfully smokey, deep dish rhythm section, this album joined the ranks of other undoubted jazz fusion 'must have' records.
Tracks like 'Whenever You're Ready', 'Voices of Other Times' and the oft sampled, Auger-fied version of Marvin Gaye's 'Inner City Blues' have since become club classics and broke new ground for the Rare Groove, Acid jazz and Neo Funk scenes that were to follow in Brian's experimental footsteps.
Almost certainly his finest recorded moment when first released this CD edition boasts 2 previously unreleased tracks including another take of 'Happiness Is Just Around The Bend' which was covered and made into a hit by The Main Ingredient the US soul outfit incidentally fronted by one Cuba Gooding Snr!
In 2005 it may be harder to appreciate just how ground-breaking this particular recording was but when you know that this release is a well-loved underground classic it is easier to understand why everybody, from Herbie Hancock to The Beastie Boys, puts Brian Auger's Oblivion Express' Closer to It somewhere near the very top of their all-time great recordings. The greatest musical entity to emerge from Shepherds Bush bar none!

bounded by..." All of these names describe the same location, but are not related in any way that is obvious to the casual observer-that is, unless you have a map . If we plot each of these descriptions onto a map, we can determine immediately that they designate the same location.
In disciplines that - for whatever reason - multiple namespaces are used, it is important to have maps that relate the namespaces. The 12207 and 15288 standards are maps of the namespace of life cycle processes. One can use the set of processes that are named by 12207 and 15288 or one can use the standards to describe the processes that one uses.
Role of 12207 and 15288
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 gives names to 25 processes covering the entire life cycle of any human-made system. ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 gives names to 43 processes covering the entire life cycle of any software product or element of a system. They comprise 84 and 138 pages respectively. The two were written separately by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 (software and systems engineering) and separately adopted, with minor changes to 12207, by IEEE. In addition, SC 7 created amendments to 12207 that IEEE had not adopted. The result was a situation where, in effect, three versions of 12207 existed and where 15288 was not obviously interoperable with any of the versions. SC 7 and IEEE entered into a joint revision project that resulted, in 2008, in the creation of revised versions that were completely interoperable and common to both organizations.
The two standards contain process models that are nearly identical. The differences that exist are rational and well-explained rather than accidental. The 15288 standard describes the processes at a system level. The 12207 standard specializes the same processes to software and adds processes specific to software. So, three usage situations can be identified:
- To deal with a general system, use 15288;
- To deal with a software element of a system or a software-intensive system, use 15288 and the software-specific processes of 12207;
- To deal with a software product or service (with minimal contextual system), use 12207.
The names of the processes described in the standards are important so that acquirers and suppliers can communicate regarding their intent. For example, if one contracts for "implementation" of a software element, does that include integration testing? If one contracts for work done in accordance with the processes of 12207, the answer to that question is known.
Furthermore, the named processes are important for process evaluation and improvement and for the implementation of improved practices. After all, how can one describe an improved practice for requirements analysis unless we agree on the meaning of requirements analysis? That agreement is provided by the processes described in 12207.
Life Cycle Concepts
The most fundamental mistake made by many is to confuse life cycle processes with life cycle stages (also called phases), life cycle models or with the life cycle itself. The concepts are quite distinct and understanding the distinction is fundamental to applying the standards.
Everything has a life cycle by virtue of its existence. My own life cycle began 61 years ago and will continue for a few more, I hope. A particular systems or a software product also has a life cycle, covering the period from its conception to its final retirement or disposal. Although every unique entity has its own unique life cycle, it is sometimes desirable to talk about life cycles that share certain characteristics. The abstraction that we use is a life cycle model . For example, the much-maligned "waterfall" is a life cycle model which

According to IHS iSuppli, Apple became the largest consumer of microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) microphones in 2011. Apple increased MEMS mic purchases by 173% equaling 349 million, up from 128 million in 2010. Expanding sales of iPhones, headsets, and, most notably, iPads are taking responsibility for the phenomenon. Supplanting traditional, less expensive electret condenser microphones, MEMS mics are smaller components using pressure-sensitive diaphragms etched on semiconductors. Despite price differences, MEMS mics carry extra advantages in terms of size, scalability, temperature stability, and significantly better sound quality. Apple uses two analog MEMS microphones in its iPhone 4/4S phones, one analog mic in its iPhone headsets, and one digital MEMS mic in its iPad 2 tablets. In contrast, Samsung uses two MEMS mics in its smart phones and in the Galaxy 10.1 tablet. As sales for both companies' products accelerate, the market for MEMS mics is also set to soar.

American Federation of Teachers, Council of Chief State School Officers, National Education Association, National Staff Development Council
August 2010
The result of an 18-month study between four organizations and teams in Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, this report examines state policies and collective bargaining agreements as it relates to teachers' professional learning. It argues that embedding professional learning standards into law and bargaining agreements is the "primary pathway" toward increasing educator effectiveness. Unfortunately, the report's analysis (and recommendations) is peripheral to improving student achievement and come across as an extension of the national teachers unions' agenda.
First, the report set about defining professional learning (aka professional development), which consists of activities teachers follow to increase personal content knowledge, teaching skills, and opportunities for career growth in order to both improve teaching and student learning.
Next, it examined state policies and bargaining agreements to see how various states and districts handle professional learning and the extent to which they codify it. Of the six states studied, four are collective bargaining states while two – North Carolina and Texas – are not. Specifically, producers of the report looked at areas such as: time and budget for professional development; how it fits into "career" (National Board Certification or state licensure); and the extent to which learning is "collaborative" (teacher decision making, mentoring, collaboration, flexible designs).
Ultimately, they concluded that "professional learning does not have a significant place in policy and collective bargaining language."
Though the authors rightly argue that teacher quality is the most critical "in-school factor" when it comes to student achievement – and even point to research illustrating this – they are incorrect in applying such research to argue that policies to improve professional learning de facto lead to increased teacher effectiveness and improved student achievement. Not so. In fact, much research shows that professional development programs do not have any impact on student learning and often are wasteful in terms of states' and districts' scarce resources.
While the report provides an opportunity to review several states' professional learning policies, that is about the only interesting or salient component. It overlooks any discussion of how specific professional development practices can positively impact student learning – or whether they have. The report is available here.

August has come to an end and we are gearing up for a new fierce, fit, fun outdoor bootcamp on Sept 4th – yay! What better way to kick off a new month than by sharing the amazing fitness journey of one of our Ontario chicks, Leanne from our Brampton Bootcamp.
- After having a beautiful baby boy, Leanne has used fitness to not only get her pre baby body back and retire the maternity pants but to set a fierce and healthy example for her family. Check out Leanne's story below to see how she is living (and loving!) la vida FIT CHICK!).
1. What made you decide to join a bootcamp program?
I joined Fit Chicks this time because I had gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant and it just wasn't coming off. Since I had tried Fit Chicks once before with a friend, I knew that I would get results if I joined again. Also, I really wanted to be able to get back into my regular pants so that I wouldn't have to still wear maternity pants when I went back to work.
2. How has living la vida FIT CHICKS helped you in reaching your goals?
It has really helped me reach my goals by making sure that I put aside time every week to work out. Also, I found that the workouts were really challenging, but they also allowed me to work at my level so that I could always participate no matter how tired I was getting or how out of shape I was. The encouragement, and enthusiasm, from my Chick Sergeant Christina to keep going and push harder helped a lot too.
3. What is your fave signature FIT CHICKS workout? Which exercises do you love to hate?
My favourite workout is the "Burn Baby Burn" workout that we did in May. I found that it was tough, but gave amazing results. I love to hate squat jumps. They're tiring and they make your muscles burn, but they really get results.
4. What have your results been like since starting sweating up a storm "chick style"?
Since I joined bootcamp in May I have had pretty consistent results. Altogether I have lost 22 pounds so far. I have also lost 3 inches off my chest, 1 inch off my arms, 6 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my butt, and 2 inches off of my thighs. Even though I'm still not at my pre-baby weight yet, my body looks better than it did before because I have more muscle tone now. I am happy to say that I can now squeeze into my jeans again so I can put the maternity pants away as well. I have more energy now, find it easier to get up and down on the floor when I'm playing with my son, and just feel better about myself in general. I'm very happy with my results.
5. In your own words, how would you describe your bootcamp?
It's tough, but the support you get from the other chicks helps you to keep going and stick with it. Fit Chicks also allows you to work at your own level so that you can participate now matter how out of shape you are. I have found that it is a program that is not just about losing weight; it's about having a healthy lifestyle and feeling good about your body!
Leanne, we are so proud of you and how you are setting such a healthy example for your family…it is so inspiring to all chicks that starting (or already started!) living la vida FIT CHICK that they can do it too (even with wee chicklets and roosters) Thanks for allowing us to help along your journey, sharing your story with us and keep up the fabulous work!
PS Exciting news – we have extended our Fierce Fall Promo until Sept 5th! Sign up for Sept 8 week bootcamp and save $50 off. Simply enter code 'fierce' when you sign up online…have an AMAZING long weekend chicks!

SELLERS SET PACE IN COTTON MARKET; Continued Worries Over Europe Cause Final Losses of 7 to 8 Points NO STREES IN LIQUIDATION But Support Is Limited and Fails to Follow Up Early
Cotton traders found yesterday's reports from Europe sufficiently disturbing to cause increased selling on the Cotton Exchange and prices turned down, to close 7 to 8 points lower on the day. Despite the holding movement among Southern growers, cotton was moving into sight at a more rapid rate than forwardings of the staple to mills of the world.

By Thomson and Arnold – A Family Trip To Tanzania.
Jambo! It is your safari guides Thomson and Arnold from Tanzania reporting after the conclusion of our most recent safari that required the use of 2 vehicles and guides. A family of 10 people arrived at the Ndutu airstrip in the South Serengeti at 10.00am on July 15 2013, and we began the game drive around Ndutu area. Our first day turned out to be indicative of our entire safari as we immediately encountered some tremendous wildlife viewing. Let me explain further our first day. We saw a big pride of lions including nine cubs (they seemed to be the Serengeti's welcoming committee). Immediately afterwards, we saw a cheetah anxious looking for something to eat. However, a lioness from the big pride entertained us all by chasing a warthog. We visited Oldupai Gorge after departing the South Serengeti and continued on our game drive to Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp with a game drive through the Crater along the way. What a day!
The following are some of the pictures to share with you.

Sep 27, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterIt was about 2:30 a.m. Friday when Becky Miller of Riverton heard a loud crash in her kitchen.
"The house shook; it rattled the windows," Miller said. "It sounded like there was going to be a hole in the side of the house."
Her guess wasn't off by much -- a branch from a cottonwood tree had fallen under the weight of Riverton's first winter snowstorm and crashed through the roof of Miller's home on Westridge Drive.
"It pierced into my kitchen," Miller said. "It came through just above my sink."
She is grateful that no one in her family was injured in the incident. In fact, Miller said her daughters Grace, 12, Cassandra, 8, and Moriah, 6, all slept through the noise, though 9-month-old Noelle did wake up when she heard the crashing sound. Miller's husband, Lyle, and 16-year-old son Morgan were house-sitting nearby.
By midday Friday, Miller was watching workers from Cedar Mountain Tree and Lawn Care remove the branch from her kitchen. Her two oldest children were home, too, helping her clean up the house and yard.
"We have several branches that were down," Miller said. "There are branches everywhere. The neighbor behind us, his tree split in half, and the half that broke fell into the street."
The heavy, wet snow caused similar problems throughout Fremont County starting Thursday evening and lasting through midday Friday. Riverton Volunteer Fire Department chief Mike Hutchison said local crews have been "going from call to call to call" since about 10:45 p.m. Thursday.
"It just (now) kind of let up," he said just before noon Friday. "But I don't even want to say that or we'll get another five or six."
His last call had come in about an hour before, when yet another tree branch fell onto a power line. Hutchison said most of the almost 40 reports his department has received in the past 12 hours were regarding downed wires.
"Most of them have been tree branches that (were) causing the power lines to arc and spark and catch on fire," Hutchison said. "A few of them we had to put out, but most of them kind of went out on their own as soon as the power shut down."
More than 5,000 High Plains Power customers were without power Friday morning, and Rocky Mountain Power reported 2,266 power outages in the Lander-Riverton area. Both companies were still assessing the damage, and representatives didn't know when service would be restored to customers.
"We don't have a clue, not until the snow gets off the trees and they get back to some sort of normal position," High Plains general manager Jeff Hohn said.
Both power companies have had crews out working since Thursday night.
Rocky Mountain started receiving reports of outages just after 7 p.m. Thursday, company spokesman Dave Eskelsen said.
"We'll probably be cleaning it up for most of the day," he said. "People should be prepared to be without power for an extended period."
Hohn said all of Dubois was without power by Friday morning, as were areas around Riverton and outside of Lander.
In Ethete, Wyoming Indian Elementary School didn't have power starting at about 9:15 a.m. Friday. But principal Owen St. Clair said classes were still in session at about noon.
"We're still teaching," he said. "The classrooms are still warm enough, and there's enough sunlight, (so) we're still doing a regular day."
He said the power could come back at any moment, but his staff is planning to go all day without it. They went to Lander to get extra meat for sandwiches at lunch time, when students will also have fresh vegetables to eat and cold milk to drink.
"We had to scramble a bit, but we're going to make it work," St. Clair said.

Photo of the day
The officer, normally assigned to the Sixth Precinct in the West Village, readily recalled the encounter. "It was freezing out and you could see the blisters on the man's feet," he said in an interview. "I had two pairs of socks and I was still cold." They started talking; he found out the man's shoe size: 12…
Mr. Cano volunteered to give the officer his employee discount to bring down the regular $100 price of the all-weather boots to a little more than $75. The officer has kept the receipt in his vest since then, he said, "to remind me that sometimes people have it worse."

I think the deal is that you need correct permissions for the PHP process, not for you, and the PHP process is not the owner of the directory. So you probably need at least group write permission (665 or 765) but probably 666 or 766. Try 665 first, then 666. If you have to grant public write to write the file, what I have done is surround the file write line with chmods and change the perms, write the file, then take away public write. Not the best, but it's better than nothing.

The Mirror of Kong Ho HTML version
Letter 7
Concerning warfare, both as waged by ourselves and by a nation devoid of true
civilisation. The aged man and the meeting and the parting of our ways. The
instance of the one who expressed emotion by leaping.
VENERATED SIRE,--You are omniscient, but I cannot regard the fear which you
express in your beautifully-written letter, bearing the sign of the eleventh day of
the seventh moon, as anything more than the imaginings prompted by a too-
lavish supper of your favourite shark's fin and peanut oil. Unless the dexterously-
elusive attributes of the genial-spoken persons high in office at Pekin have
deteriorated contemptibly since this one's departure, it is quite impossible for our
great and enlightened Empire to be drawn into a conflict with the northern
barbarians whom you indicate, against our will. When the matter becomes
urgent, doubtless a prince of the Imperial line will loyally suffer himself to Pass
Above, and during the period of ceremonial mourning for so pure and exalted an
official it would indeed be an unseemly desecration to engage in any public
business. If this failed, and an ultimatum were pressed with truly savage
contempt for all that is sacred and refined, it might be well next to consider the
health even of the sublime Emperor himself (or, perhaps better, that of the select
and ever-present Dowager Empress); but should the barbarians still advance,
and, setting the usages of civilised warfare at defiance, threaten an engagement
in the midst of this unparalleled calamity, there will be no alternative but to have a
formidable rebellion in the Capital. All the barbarian powers will then assemble as
usual, and in the general involvement none dare move alone, and everything will
have to be regarded as being put back to where it was before. It is well said, "The
broken vessel can never be made whole, but it may be delicately arranged so
that another shall displace it."
These barbarians, less resourceful in device, have only recently emerged from a
conflict into which they do not hesitate to admit they were drawn despite their
protests. Such incompetence is characteristic of their methods throughout. Not in
any way disguising their purpose, they at once sent out an army of those whom
could be the readiest seized, certainly furnishing them with weapons, charms to
use in case of emergency, and three-coloured standards (their adversaries
adopting a white banner to symbolise the conciliation of their attitude, and
displaying both freely in every extremity), but utterly neglecting to teach them the
arts of painting their bodies with awe-inspiring forms, of imitating the cries of wild
animals as they attacked, of clashing their weapons together with menacing
vigour, or any of the recognised artifices by which terror may be struck into the
ranks of an awaiting foeman. The result was that which the prudent must have
foreseen. The more accomplished enemy, without exposing themselves to any
unnecessary inconvenience, gained many advantages by their intrepid power of
dissimulation--arranging their garments and positions in such a way that they had
the appearance of attacking when in reality they were effecting a prudent retreat;
rapidly concealing themselves among the earth on the approach of an
overwhelming force; becoming openly possessed with the prophetic vision of an
