The '''Chicago Annenberg Challenge''' (CAC) was a Chicago public school reform project from 1995 to 2001 that worked with half of Chicago's public schools and was funded by a $49.2 million, 2-to-1 matching challenge grant over five years from the [[Annenberg Foundation]]. The grant was contingent on being matched by $49.2 million in private donations and $49.2 million in public money.<ref>[http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/1987-95/94-084.html Annenberg Challenge Recognizes Chicago School Reform With $49.2 Million Grant]</ref> The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was one of 18 locally designed Annenberg Challenge project sites that received $387 million over five years as part of [[Walter Annenberg]]'s gift of $500 million over five years to support public school reform. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge helped create a successor organization, the Chicago Public Education Fund (CPEF), committing $2 million in June 1998 as the first donor to Chicago's first community foundation for education. |

'''K-9''', or '''K9''', is the name of several fictional [[robot]]ic dogs in the long-running [[United Kingdom|British]] [[science fiction on television|science fiction television]] series, ''[[Doctor Who]]'', and its spin-off series, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. There have been at least four separate K-9 units in the series, with the first two being [[companion (Doctor Who)|companions]] of the [[Fourth Doctor]]. Voice actor [[John Leeson]] has provided the character's voice in most of its appearances, except during [[List of Doctor Who serials#Season 17 (1979–80)|Season 17]], when [[David Brierly|David Brierley]] temporarily provided the voice. K-9's most recent appearance was in the episode "[[Journey's End (Doctor Who)|Journey's End]]", the finale of series four. All four of the K9 models have the same [[catchphrase]] which is "Affirmative". |

In the 1990s, billionaire and former ambassador to the [[United Kingdom]] under President [[Richard Nixon]], Walter Annenberg was the United States' most generous living philanthropist. By 1998, Annenberg had given away more than $2 billion and the assets of the Annenberg Foundation he had established in June 1989 with $1 billion had grown to $3 billion and ranked as the 12th largest in the U.S. Every weekday from May through November, Annenberg was driven from his home in [[Wynnewood, Pennsylvania]] to his Annenberg Foundation headquarters in [[St. Davids, Pennsylvania]], where as its sole director, he reserved virtually every decision for himself when making grants.<!-- |

In June 1993, Annenberg announced he was making the largest individual gift to private education in history—$365 million to four schools: $120 million each to the communication programs at the [[University of Pennsylvania]] and the [[University of Southern California]], $25 million to [[Harvard College]], and $100 million to his alma mater, the [[Peddie School]] in [[Hightstown, New Jersey]].<!-- |

==Fictional character biography== |
|||
In October 1993, Annenberg announced an unrestricted $25 million gift to [[Northwestern University]] bringing his total donations to Northwestern to $55 million, his last major gift to higher education for five years as he shifted the focus of his philanthropy to public K–12 education.<!-- |
|||
Debuting in the 1977 serial ''[[The Invisible Enemy]]'', the first K-9 was the creation of Professor Marius, a scientist working for the Bi-Al Foundation in the Centre for Alien Biomorphology on the [[asteroid]] K4067 near [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] in the year 5000 <ref>{{cite |author=Paul Parsons |title=The Unoffical Guide: The Science of Doctor Who |publisher=Icon Books |date=2006 }}</ref>. A mobile computer, K-9 was constructed in the shape of a dog as a substitute for the one Marius had left back on Earth. Highly intelligent, with an extensive database and equipped with sophisticated sensors as well as a [[laser]] weapon built into its nose, K-9 was instrumental in helping the Fourth Doctor and [[Leela (Doctor Who)|Leela]] defeat a sentient [[virus]]. At the end of [[The Invisible Enemy]], Marius suggested that K-9 join [[Doctor (Doctor Who)|the Doctor]] on his travels. |

All the K-9s referred to whoever owned them as "Master" or "Mistress" depending on their gender. The units were programmed to be both loyal and logical, with a penchant for taking orders literally, almost to a fault. The Fourth Doctor would often use a glib remark to disarm those who were surprised by K-9's appearance; in ''[[The Stones of Blood]]'' he said, "They're all the rage in [[Trenton, New Jersey]]." The [[Tenth Doctor]] defended its less-than-streamlined design ("...so [[disco]]!") to [[Rose Tyler]], remarking that it was cutting edge in the year 5000. |

Annenberg told [[Newton N. Minow|Newton Minow]], senior counsel of [[Sidley Austin|Sidley & Austin]], chairman of the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York|Carnegie Corporation]] (1993–1997), Annenberg Professor of Communications Law and Policy at Northwestern University (1987–2003) and director of its Annenberg Washington Program (1987–1996): "Everybody around the world wants to send their kids to our universities. South America, Asia, Europe, all of them. But nobody wants to send their kids here to public school. Who would, especially in a big city? Nobody. So we've got to do something. If we don't, our civilization will collapse."<!-- |

On [[December 17]], [[1993]], the 85-year-old Annenberg announced his five-year $500 million "Challenge to the Nation" at a ceremony in the [[Roosevelt Room]] of the [[White House]] with President [[Bill Clinton]], Secretary of Education [[Richard Riley]], Gregorian, Sizer, Kearns, and Frank Newman, Illinois Governor [[Jim Edgar]] and Colorado Governor [[Roy Romer]] (the president, outgoing and incoming chairman, respectively, of the [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]]-based bipartisan [[Education Commission of the States]] (ECS).<!-- |

Annenberg announced that he was giving $113 million over five years to three national school reform organizations:<!-- |

K-9 Mark I traveled with the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Leela (Doctor Who)|Leela]] from ''[[The Invisible Enemy]]'' until ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', when it decided to stay on [[Gallifrey]] with [[Leela (Doctor Who)|Leela]], who had elected to remain behind on the [[Time Lord]] home world.

# $57 million to the NASDC, chaired by Kearns |
|||
# $6 million to the ECS (chaired by Edgar and then Romer, with president Newman) to disseminate NASDC models for restructuring schools |
|||
The remaining $387 million was for: school reform in the largest urban school systems, attended by a third of the 47 million public school students in the U.S.; for school reform in rural schools which make up a quarter of all public schools, attended by 1 in 8 public school students in the U.S.; and for arts education.<!-- |

|||
Annenberg delegated how to spend the $387 million to his closest professional friend, Vartan Gregorian, whom he had known for twenty years—since Gregorian's tenure at the University of Pennsylvania where Annenberg was a trustee and its largest donor. Annenberg called Gregorian: "The best all-around executive I know. A man of great character and absolute integrity. The most outstanding human being I know." Gregorian oversaw everything involved in the Challenge and ensured that it was nonpartisan. Reflecting Annenberg's vision of the Challenge as a catalyst—not a yardstick—he did not require Gregorian to meet specific benchmarks, such as dispensing funds on the basis of the schools' raising their reading or math scores by certain percentage points.<!-- |

|||
===K-9 Mark III=== |
|||
Gregorian recruited university presidents and business leaders to assemble civic teams in various cities to pursue Challenge grants, and awarded grants to 18 locally designed projects:<!-- |
|||
K-9 Mark III was a gift from the Doctor to [[Sarah Jane Smith]], and first appeared with her in the pilot episode of the aborted [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off]] series ''[[K-9 and Company]]'' as well as a brief cameo appearance in the 20th anniversary ninety-minute special ''[[The Five Doctors]]''. In the original outline to ''K-9 and Company'', it would have been eventually revealed that K-9 Mark III was actually sent by and under the control of [[Master (Doctor Who)|the Master]], but this element never made it to the screen. K-9 Mark III's final appearance was in the second series of the new ''[[Doctor Who]]'' with [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]], alongside [[Elisabeth Sladen]] as Sarah Jane Smith in the episode "[[School Reunion (Doctor Who)|School Reunion]]". In that episode, K-9 appears more run-down and worn, echoing Sarah's inability to repair it in the spin-off stories (see [[#Other appearances|below]]). It died heroically, sacrificing itself by using the last of its energy reserves to set off an explosion. |

A 23-member group of Chicago parents, teachers, activists, funders, administrators, local school council members and academics who were involved in school reform, called the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, was chosen to design the initial [[Request for Proposal]]s (RFPs), help publicize the Challenge and hold informational sessions for potential grantees, screen and rate the initial letters of intent, aid the Board of Directors in selecting an executive director, and work with the project's staff.<!-- |

Another short story, ''Tautology'', by Glenn Langford (''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' #194), suggests that K-9 Mark III's [[motherboard]] will be passed down through Sarah's descendants and eventually end up in the hands of Professor Marius, who will use it to build the first K-9, creating an [[ontological paradox]]. |
|||
==== Executive director and staff ==== |
|||
Ken Rolling, the [[executive director]] of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from September 1995 through 2001; then executive director of Parents for Public Schools (2003– ); was the former associate director and program officer for community organizing and school reform at the [[Woods Fund of Chicago]] (1985–1995).<!-- |

In August 1996, a program director, a grants manager and a financial officer were hired. In 1997, a director of development, a communications director, a communications assistant, a clerical assistant and a data manager were hired, bringing Rolling's staff to nine. The University of Illinois at Chicago provided office space rent-free to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge staff. |
|||
''Jealous, Possessive'' by [[Paul Magrs]], the "Scorpio" story in Big Finish's anthology ''[[Short Trips: Zodiac]]'' features K-9 Mark I and Mark II relaying their exploits to each other, and their veiled put-downs to each other reveal that each considers the other to be the "inferior" version. This attitude is also occasionally hinted at in the way the two units refer to each other in the ''Gallifrey'' audio series. |
|||
=== Operation === |
|||
By August 1, 1995, letters of intent were received from 177 networks—representing two-thirds of Chicago public schools—of which 89 networks were invited by the Board to submit full proposals.<!-- |
|||
--><ref name="Shipps 1999"/> 77 networks—representing almost 300 schools—submitted proposals (32 for implementation grants and 45 for planning grants) by the October 1 deadline.<!-- |
|||
--><ref name="Shipps 1999"/> On November 29, the Board approved grants for 35 networks—representing 170 schools—and identified and certified over $9 million in matching private donations which enabled the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to receive its first $3 million from the Annenberg Foundation in early December 1995.<!-- |
|||
--><ref name="Shipps 1999"/><!-- |
|||
--><ref>The Annenberg Foundation mandated that only public matching funds which directly supported the same schools receiving Chicago Annenberg Challenge funds would be eligible for matching grant purposes. In 1995 the CAC was allowed to delay its 1995 public match requirement—but catch up on public matching funds by the end of 1996—with a double amount of 1995 private matching funds sufficing to receive the $3 million from the Annenberg Foundation in 1995.</ref> |
|||
The [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[Interference: Book Two]]'' by [[Lawrence Miles]] indicates that the Doctor built a Mark IV model sometime prior to the events of that book, but what happened to this unit is not stated. In the novel ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'' by [[Lance Parkin]], K-9 Mark II makes another appearance, having been trapped within the [[TARDIS]] since the events of ''[[The Ancestor Cell]]''. At the end of ''The Gallifrey Chronicles'' the Doctor sends K-9 on a secret mission to Espero, presumably to seek out his former companion, the living TARDIS known as [[Compassion (Doctor Who)|Compassion]]. |
|||
At a December 20, 1995 reception at First Chicago National Bank, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge presented $2.58 million in grant certificates to the first 35 networks winning grants.<!-- |

The results of an August 2003 final technical report of the Chicago Annenberg Research Project by the Consortium on Chicago School Research "suggest that among the schools it supported, the Challenge had little impact on school improvement and student outcomes, with no statistically significant differences between Annenberg and non-Annenberg schools in rates of achievement gain, classroom behavior, student self-efficacy, and social competence."<!-- |

Upon its dissolution in 2002 CAC created a successor, the Chicago Public Education Fund, and donated its records (132 boxes containing 947 file folders) to the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago to be made available for public research. The CAC records in the Special Collections department of the Daley Library were briefly closed to public access for two weeks from August 12, 2008 through August 25, 2008 over concerns by the university about their ownership of the records and the confidentiality of some of the information in the records.<ref>http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/dnc/1127918,ayers082608.article</ref><ref>http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/specialcoll/</ref> |

Revision as of 17:11, 10 October 2008
K-9, or K9, is the name of several fictional robotic dogs in the long-running British science fiction television series, Doctor Who, and its spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures. There have been at least four separate K-9 units in the series, with the first two being companions of the Fourth Doctor. Voice actor John Leeson has provided the character's voice in most of its appearances, except during Season 17, when David Brierley temporarily provided the voice. K-9's most recent appearance was in the episode "Journey's End", the finale of series four. All four of the K9 models have the same catchphrase which is "Affirmative".
A new television series starring K-9, K-9, is currently in development and is planned to air in 2008.
Fictional character biography
Debuting in the 1977 serial The Invisible Enemy, the first K-9 was the creation of Professor Marius, a scientist working for the Bi-Al Foundation in the Centre for Alien Biomorphology on the asteroid K4067 near Titan in the year 5000 [1]. A mobile computer, K-9 was constructed in the shape of a dog as a substitute for the one Marius had left back on Earth. Highly intelligent, with an extensive database and equipped with sophisticated sensors as well as a laser weapon built into its nose, K-9 was instrumental in helping the Fourth Doctor and Leela defeat a sentient virus. At the end of The Invisible Enemy, Marius suggested that K-9 join the Doctor on his travels.
All the K-9s referred to whoever owned them as "Master" or "Mistress" depending on their gender. The units were programmed to be both loyal and logical, with a penchant for taking orders literally, almost to a fault. The Fourth Doctor would often use a glib remark to disarm those who were surprised by K-9's appearance; in The Stones of Blood he said, "They're all the rage in Trenton, New Jersey." The Tenth Doctor defended its less-than-streamlined design ("...so disco!") to Rose Tyler, remarking that it was cutting edge in the year 5000.
Models
To date, four different versions of K-9 have appeared in the series:
K-9 Mark I
K-9 Mark I traveled with the Fourth Doctor and Leela from The Invisible Enemy until The Invasion of Time, when it decided to stay on Gallifrey with Leela, who had elected to remain behind on the Time Lord home world. However, once inside the TARDIS, the Fourth Doctor produced a box labeled "K-9 Mark II".
K-9 Mark III
K-9 Mark III was a gift from the Doctor to Sarah Jane Smith, and first appeared with her in the pilot episode of the aborted spin-off series K-9 and Company as well as a brief cameo appearance in the 20th anniversary ninety-minute special The Five Doctors. In the original outline to K-9 and Company, it would have been eventually revealed that K-9 Mark III was actually sent by and under the control of the Master, but this element never made it to the screen. K-9 Mark III's final appearance was in the second series of the new Doctor Who with David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, alongside Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in the episode "School Reunion". In that episode, K-9 appears more run-down and worn, echoing Sarah's inability to repair it in the spin-off stories (see below). It died heroically, sacrificing itself by using the last of its energy reserves to set off an explosion.
The practical challenges of working with the K-9 prop have accompanied the robotic pooch in his return to Doctor Who. Producer Russell T Davies told SFX magazine, "Yes, just as we expected, multiple takes [were required] when he bumped into a door or veered off to the left. Lis Sladen did warn us, and she was right!"[2]

In 1990, an unspecified K-9 unit appeared with Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace in an episode of the children's education programme Search Out Science entitled Search Out Space, which was included as an extra on the release of the Doctor Who story Survival by the BBC. Another unspecified K-9 unit also appeared in the 1993 charity special Dimensions in Time.
In the 1998 computer game Fallout 2, the Navarro base has a damaged robot dog known as K-9, which uses similar speech mannerisms to the Doctor Who character. If repaired, the cyberdog is willing to join the character's party as a companion.
In the 1999 television series Queer as Folk (written by current Doctor Who executive producer Russell T Davies), a K-9 model is given to the character Vince as a birthday present. The prop used was an original, operated — as occasionally in Doctor Who — by visual effects assistant Mat Irvine.
In the South Park episode "Go God Go XII", Eric Cartman, being trapped in the year 2546, has acquired a robot dog called "K-10", a parody of K-9. Due to timeline alterations, he is replaced by robot cat "Kit-9" and later robot bird, "Cocka-3".
Engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center have dubbed two intelligent mobile robots designed to explore the surface of Mars "K-9" and "Gromit".[3] NASA's K-9 is named after both Doctor Who's K-9 and Marvin the Martian's pet dog.[4]
In the second series of I'm Alan Partridge, the character of Alan Partridge recalls how his purchase of the rights to K-9 assisted in him mentally breaking down and driving to Dundee in his bare feet while gorging on Toblerone.
K-9 appeared on a 2007 Doctor Who special edition of The Weakest Link, but was voted out unanimously at the end of the first round, despite answering all of his questions correctly. Anne Robinson (whom K-9 addressed as "Mistress") said "I'm so sorry" before declaring him the weakest link.
Audio plays
In the spin-off media, K-9 Mark II remained Romana's faithful companion for many years. In the early 2000s, John Leeson and Lalla Ward featured in a series of audio plays produced by BBV as K-9 and "The Mistress", detailing these characters' adventures in a parallel universe. As neither Romana nor E-Space could be licensed, the aliases of the Mistress and the "pocket universe" were used instead.
When Romana eventually returned to her own universe, she brought K-9 Mark II with her (presumably having repaired it) and eventually became Lady President of Gallifrey. K-9 Mark II is first seen on Gallifrey in the Virgin New Adventures novel Lungbarrow by Marc Platt, alongside K-9 Mark I, which had remained with Leela. Both K-9 Mark I and Mark II appear, voiced by Leeson, in the Big Finish Productions audio adventure Zagreus and the Gallifrey audio series. Leela's K-9 (Mark I) was destroyed at the conclusion of the second Gallifrey series and only Mark II appears in the third series.
Webcast
In 2003, a webcast adaptation of the never-completed Shada serial was produced for the BBC's Doctor Who website, rewritten as an Eighth Doctor adventure and featuring the post-E-Space versions of Romana II and K-9 Mk II.
Novels and short stories
K-9's co-creator Dave Martin wrote a series of four children's books entitled The Adventures of K9, published by Sparrow Books in 1980. K-9 is travelling on his own in these stories for reasons not explained.
In 1985, a series of gamebooks featuring the Sixth Doctor were published by Severn House under the title Make your own adventure with Doctor Who in Britain and Find Your Fate — Doctor Who in the United States. These books were actually written by scriptwriters for the television series. Martin wrote Search for the Doctor which takes place in the mid-21st century and features K-9 Mark III being reunited with the Sixth Doctor long after Sarah's death.
A short story, Moving On, in Virgin Publishing's Decalog 3: Consequences anthology and the Big Finish Productions-produced Sarah Jane Smith audio play Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre (both written by Peter Anghelides) indicate that K-9 Mark III broke down and Sarah was unable to repair it as the replacement circuits would not be invented for several centuries.
Another short story, Tautology, by Glenn Langford (Doctor Who Magazine #194), suggests that K-9 Mark III's motherboard will be passed down through Sarah's descendants and eventually end up in the hands of Professor Marius, who will use it to build the first K-9, creating an ontological paradox.
Jealous, Possessive by Paul Magrs, the "Scorpio" story in Big Finish's anthology Short Trips: Zodiac features K-9 Mark I and Mark II relaying their exploits to each other, and their veiled put-downs to each other reveal that each considers the other to be the "inferior" version. This attitude is also occasionally hinted at in the way the two units refer to each other in the Gallifrey audio series.
The Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Interference: Book Two by Lawrence Miles indicates that the Doctor built a Mark IV model sometime prior to the events of that book, but what happened to this unit is not stated. In the novel The Gallifrey Chronicles by Lance Parkin, K-9 Mark II makes another appearance, having been trapped within the TARDIS since the events of The Ancestor Cell. At the end of The Gallifrey Chronicles the Doctor sends K-9 on a secret mission to Espero, presumably to seek out his former companion, the living TARDIS known as Compassion.
The canonicity of the spin-off stories is unclear, especially in light of K-9 and Sarah's return.
K-9 (TV show)
A proposed K-9 television series or special had been rumoured since the late 1990s, and images of a redesigned K9 were leaked.[5] However, nothing became of this effort until 2006.
On April 24 2006 The Independent, the Daily Star and The Times confirmed, following previous rumours, that K-9 would be featured in a 26-part children's series, K-9, to be written by Bob Baker.[6] The article in The Times also featured a picture of the redesigned K-9 for the animated series.[7] The series will be a blend of live-action and a CGI K-9.
Each episode will be 30 minutes long, made by Jetix Europe and London-based distribution outfit Park Entertainment. According to a report in Broadcast magazine, the BBC opted out of involvement in order to focus on their own Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood, meaning that BBC-owned characters are unlikely to appear in the series. A broadcast date for the series has not been officially announced, but a 2008 debut is planned.[8][9]
