annual report 2006-2007 INTRODUCTION Last year, our signature Readings/Workshops program continued its nationwide expansion, made possible by our successful capital campaign in 2006, which enabled us to establish an endowment to bring the program to six new cities. In 2007, we began supporting writers participating in literary events in Washington, D.C. and in Houston. In Washington, D.C., we funded events taking place at venues, including Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind, Edmund Burke High School, and Busboys & Poets. We also partnered with Arte Publico Press, Nuestra Palabra, and Literal magazine to bring writers to audiences in Houston. In addition to the cities noted above, our Readings/Workshops program supports writers and organizations throughout New York State and California, and in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and Seattle. Last year, we provided $215,050 to 732 writers participating in 1,745 events. Poets & Writers Magazine celebrated its 20th anniversary last year and offered a number of helpful special sections, including a collection of articles on the increasingly popular MFA degree in creative writing. The magazine also took a look at writers conferences, including old favorites like Bread Loaf and Yaddo, as well as some newer destinations—the Macondo Workshop for Latino writers and Soul Mountain for African American writers. We also offered “The Indie Initiative,” our annual feature on small presses looking for new work, and “Big Six,” a snapshot of the country’s largest publishers of literary books. Our Information Services staff continued to provide trustworthy and personalized answers to hundreds of writers’ questions on topics ranging from vanity presses to literary agents.

HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the Presenting Sponsor
present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving. On sale in February 2018 with a starting price around $80,000, the LS 500h will be the luxury sedan of choice for environmentally minded drivers.

Writer Lemon Andersen
ToasT a play by Lemon Andersen directed by Elise Thoron DESCRIPTION In 1971, an inmate had to choose between going home after twenty-seven years of imprisonment or joining the uprising in Attica. ToasT is a new play by Lemon Andersen that celebrates the poetic history of Black narratives called "Toasts". The play takes fictional characters from this oral tradition and puts them in a non-fictional setting (Attica Prison) . The most famous hero from the toast tradition "Willie Green", also known as "Dolomite", has been locked up for the past twenty-seven years in Attica's D-block for multiple counts of murder. He shares the prison with other folklore heroes like Jesse James, Hobo Ben, Stackolee, and Hard Rock. They kill the hard prison time spending their days sharing war stories, playing cards, and drinking hooch. The brutal conditions these inmates are living in pushes the young hotheaded Hard Rock to lead a revolution. He spends his time trying to convince his fellow inmates to join him in an uprising even if it means sacrificing their lives. Behind Hard Rock's preaching about grievances lies the real story of Dolomite secretly being given an unexpected early release date. Having to tell his fellow inmates about his release is defeating his soul. Every time Dolomite has a chance to tell the inmates, his moment to reveal the truth is interrupted by daily prison culture, Hard Rock's rants, and signifying toasts. As temperature rises and an uprising approaches, Hard Rock is taken by the guards, what will Dolomite do? BACKGROUND "Toast" is an art form of reciting poetry based on characters and situations derived from the Black experience, mostly told and performed in the prisons, bars, and pool halls of America.
