Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the rest of the Muppets will help NBC celebrate the holidays this year.
The network has announced its holiday-specials lineup for this year, and it’s a little bigger than usual. The Muppet special, titled “Letters to Santa — A Muppet Christmas” is one of several new shows NBC will use to help fill out its end-of-the-year schedule, in addition to old standbys like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Christmas in Rockefeller Center.”

Worldwide Tropical Cyclone Names

 

Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. They are now maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The original name lists featured only women’s names. In 1979, men’s names were introduced and they alternate with the women’s names. Six lists are used in rotation. Thus, the 2008 list will be used again in 2014. Here is more information about the history of naming hurricanes.

Moffat is the new Dr. Who chief

This season should be better.  I liked Russell T. Davies a lot, but he took the series in a lot of strange directions.  Although, Moffat has said that he would like to take it in some darker directions as well.  hmmm…  Let me rethink that.

Steven Moffat, who has written some of the most acclaimed episodes of the BBC’s Doctor Who, has been named the lead writer and executive producer of the hit SF series, replacing show runner Russell T. Davies, the British Guardian newspaper reported.
