Shakespeare's contributions to stage and language are unequaled, audiences left breathless for the past four centuries, his artistry as evident in moments of insensate rage as it is in moments of heartbreaking tenderness.
But beyond his astonishing feats of language and dramatic impact, Shakespeare also left us a legacy in the explorations of suffering and transgression offered in the six great mature tragedies—Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus—that make up the astonishing body of work he produced from 1600 to 1608.
This series of 24 exciting lectures from an award-winning teacher takes you deep within each play to observe Shakespeare's protagonists struggling to make choices in the face of competing social, moral, and psychological pressures and "clawing [from] their pain and horror," as Professor Kinney puts it, " [to] a kind of insight."
Whether you're a veteran lover of Shakespeare, someone new to his work, or an old lover returning after too long away, you'll find this course a delight, as Professor Kinney offers insights that give you a nuanced understanding of each play's meaning. It's a gift that will increase the dramatic impact of every Shakespearean tragedy you see on the stage or screen, or visualize as you read them, as well as enhance your ability to form insights on your own with each reading or performance.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
©2007 The Teaching Company, LLC (P)2007 The Great Courses
"Enlightening and well presented"
Professor Clare Kinney does an excellent job of bringing fascinating insights to each of the plays she speaks to in this course. Her lectures are well structured, the information is accessible for the lay reader and above all, these lectures will invite and encourage those who have only a high school or college course experience with Shakespeare's tragedies to invest the intellectual energy toward a deeper understanding of the plays.
Note that she doesn't speak to Romeo and Juliet, but (wisely in my view) includes Antony and Cleopatra. However, it would have been excellent if she had included both, in addition to the most popular tragic plays. Undoubtedly, she would also treat R & J with expert analysis as well. She left me curious and wondering what she would have to say.
I wish that producer of The Great Courses would have left out the music and clapping between each lecture. I find that a bit annoying and that it adds nothing to the audio experience.
"Do yourself a favor - download & listen"
Harold Bloom: Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human. Brilliant insights into what Shakespeare means to us today.
Prof. Kinney effectively weaves dialogue from the plays throughout her lectures.
In the final lecture about Shakespeare's last works, she was obviously touched by the plot of The Winter's Tale and the redemptive power of the spirit to move past tragedy.
I would have paid college tuition to attend this series of lectures. Don't miss it.
"Well done"
The professor gives a lot of interesting insight into the plays. Other lectures will get into the more technical aspects or the plays. But this felt more like a discussion about the plays themselves, which was delightful.
"Oh Sir! You are old;"
Although, the words delivered are so extraordinarily tragic, the speaker enriches the meaning profoundly ten times over. As I listened to King Lear and other tragic Shakespeare stories told by Professor Kinney, I realized how engulfed I quickly became as each word echoed through her enriched my understanding of what I had previously known of Shakespeares tragedies. I love that Shakespeare Tragedies can connect me with the production and the performance through words. Professor Kinney has such an eloquent voice to enhance the tragedies.
More than ever my favorite character would be King Lear. Ha! King Lear, his daughter's and Edward, this character list helps to enhance the story of Lear as he comes to terms with the laws of justice.We are offered a glimpse at how it could feel to be faced with consequences of our actions and be at odds with our own personal conscience. Naturally, there are several choices, conflicts, and political situations which are surrounding Lear throughout his clash as he is forced to reflect on human laws and moral laws. How many times I've said to someone, we see, but we don't see what we are shown.
No, I've never listened to Professor Kinney's performances, but she far outshines most professional female speakers. I do have favorites, but she ranks up there with the best.
Professor Kinney is the perfect individual to read this audio book, perhaps more are in store for her, and her next move in life will be in this genre of literature and entertainment. Her explanations and comments offer a true analysis of each one of the Shakespearean stories in this Great Courses Course (sounds redundant, but it is what it is). Ok, so Professor Kinney, has such a sweet voice, soothing, enhancing of every Renaissance piece spoken in contemporary productions. She has a knack of using the verbal text and shifting into a visual image in order to relate and heighten the stories.Even characters who murder, such as in MacBeth, I'm assuming if you've read MacBeth, who are the most unscrupulous, despicable, revengeful individuals can be thought of as fully developed through Professor Kinney's descriptions. I did cry at the end of her reading Othello, but this is true of every time I come to the end of Othello. In this story, we know that Shakespeare had the ability to convey such a range of emotion in a very piece, that we really do not know how to react until it happens. I never understand in its entirety the feeling of jealousy, but it too is an emotion that is drawn upon in such a provocative way that we begin to reflect upon our lives. This course, is such a powerful read, that I cannot recommend it any higher than I have, but if it were possible I would like to say thank you.
Imagery at its best
"Simply Fantastic!"
Incisive passionate and fascinating lectures given by a talented communicator. She spoke Shakespeare's language like a first rate actor. Loved every minute!
"Great introduction to the tragedies"
An excellent lecture series on the tragedies. Kinney is clearly passionate about her subject. Her reading of quotes was masterful.

The meeting of the Board of the Local Building Authority of Emery County was held on May 8.
The meeting was opened by Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth who is the chairman of the LBA.
Current project number one is the remodeling of the Huntington Senior Center. The demolition started yesterday. This is the taking out the old and putting in the new kitchen.
The senior citizens are temporarily meeting at the old Huntington City Building. "We expect this remodel to be completed in 45 days," said Commissioner Pitchforth.
The second project for the LBA is the relocation of the fuel tanks at the Huntington Airport. The project will remove the tanks from the 400 foot safety zone on the air strip. This project should be out for bid soon. This is the final step in the five year plan for the airport. There are plans still in the works to put new hangars, another work building hangar and improve the airport. The county will try to purchase another fuel tank so they will have adequate fuel for the needs of the flying public. This additional tank would allow the county to purchase a truck load of fuel at a time, thereby saving money. The airport is using a lot of fuel now and this would be a benefit to the county. A Back Country Fly In event is expected in October at the airport.

Until a few years ago, Range Creek was a little-known, rugged canyon in a remote part of Emery County.
It is now one of the richest archaeological resources in the nation with many of its well-preserved remains shedding light on the Fremont tribes that lived there between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1350.
To provide a present-day look at this ancient culture, "Range Creek: An Anthropology of Place" is now open at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City.
The exhibit will feature replicas of a granary and a pit house and other interpretive displays to give us a glimpse of where and how the Fremont existed in the canyon those hundreds of years ago.
"Range Creek" will be a permanent exhibit at the museum.
Admission is $6.00 for adults, $3.50 for children ages 3-12 and seniors. Museum members are admitted for free.
The Utah Museum of Natural History is located at the University of Utah, 1390 East President's Circle (200 South), Salt Lake City. For more information, call (801) 581-6927 or visit www.umnh.utah.edu.

Missing man found in Emery County.
On Jan. 17, at approximately 10:30 a.m., David Fielder who was working as a ranch hand on Cedar Mountain called the Emery County Sheriff's Office. He reported there was a man in his camp near the East Cedar Mountain area. Lt. Gayle Jensen responded to the area.
He met with Fielder who said the man was in his camp trailer. The man had arrived at Fielder's camp earlier that morning and said he was sick and needed help.
The man was asleep in the camp trailer when Lt. Jensen and Fielder arrived to check on him. Lt. Jensen verified that the man was the missing person Steven Gurr. Lt. Jensen reported that Gurr told him he was glad to see him and that he wasn't feeling well. Lt. Jensen said Gurr was confused and disoriented. Fielder gave Gurr a sandwich and water.
Lt. Jensen gave Gurr a 28 mile ride back to Interstate 70 and met with the Emery EMTs who transported Gurr to the Sevier Valley Hospital in Richfield where he was checked.
Lt. Jensen reported that Gurr told him he had been lost for the last couple of days and had not had his medications.

The other evening I wanted Tilapia, so I thought it was time to do a baked dish…
For this you'll require:
10 to 12 red potatoes, quartered
2 fresh Tilapia fillets
Fresh oregano
Fresh Dill
Freshly cracked black pepper
Sea Salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 head of Endive (also know as Escarole), torn
2 tsp of lemon juice
Here you go:
1. First, heat your olive oil in a medium pan. When it starts to shimmer, add your red potatoes. Add dill, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste sauté until they begin to brown, then remove and place in a bowl.
2. Pre-heat your oven to 365. While your oven is heating, put your Endive in the pan you did your potatoes in, cover, and sauté over medium heat for roughly 5 minutes. Add your oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Now add the tilapia fillets and lemon juice and heat on each side for no more than a minute.
4. Place foil on a cookie sheet, on one side place your tilapia and on the other side mix your endive and potatoes and bake for roughly 10 minutes. Keep your pan for the next step!
5. Remove from the oven, add salt and pepper to your pan (no need for additional oil, you should be ok to accomplish what is needed) and over a very high flame quickly brown the tilapia on each side. This will sear in the pepper/salt taste, giving you a nice brown color, with drying out the fish.
6. Plate and Enjoy!
The garlic, endive and potatoes all play well together, and the lemon pulls the entire dish together! Very enjoyable and very quick to do.
And the next dish? Well, Tuesday we'll have Kale Pizza!

Senior Year Spent Breaking News at "The Fold"
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Rachel Jacobs on her internship at The Washington Post's "The Fold". After graduation, Jacobs was offered a job with Gannett's Talent Development Program as a broadcast producer and has moved to Phoenix to work with NBC 12 News. Watch "The Fold" farewell to Jacobs.
"In 5…4…3…2…1…"
That's the countdown I give before I start rolling the teleprompter and recording the next segment for "The Fold."
Two days a week I ride the bus to Madison Place, the stop in front of the White House, to get to my Dean's Internship at the Washington Post. After the 9am department meeting, I help the producing team of "The Fold" for the rest of the day. I've been on the team for almost a year, and it has been quite an adventure.
From producing fun pieces on the cherry blossoms and an Oscar winner (who also happens to teach at the AU School of Communication) recounting his experiences to meeting, filming and editing interviews with top leaders and some of the nation's most influential news writers, I've grown both as a visual journalist and as a person.
I've seen how talented groups can come together and produce pieces under pressure, I've seen how new concepts and ideas can become reality and I've learned first-hand how web video journalism is changing the future of media and the digital world.
From Boston and Newtown to Election 2012 and Inauguration 2013, I have been on the fifth floor of the Post's headquarters for historic news stories and events. Under pressure of a tight deadline, I've been able to turn around video during these breaking situations. From Skyping in a producer who was a few blocks away from where the Boston bombings occurred, to editing hours of footage from Newtown, CT for a 6pm deadline, I've learned how strong content and bold visuals can truly make one story stand out from the rest.
As a graduating senior and a yearlong SOC Dean's Intern, I can confidently say the experiences I've gathered from AU and its D.C. connections have been priceless. I've had unparalleled opportunities compared to many students, which is something I will forever be grateful for.

Chairman Gil Conover said, "We would like the building completed by Dec. 31, however the completion date is May." Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth illustrated the chosen floor and wall coverings for the new addition, she also discussed the exterior and interior paint colors.
A financial report was given by consultant Bryan Erickson CEO of Management Traditions Health Care. The report showed revenue for the year is down, however expenses have also been reduced. The beginning cash/prepaid expense balance 12/31/08 was $383,984.45 and the ending cash/prepaid expense balance is $503,294.10 Aug. 31. The profit and loss statement showed the profit and loss for Aug. 31, 2008 had a loss of $147,694.89. That changed to a loss of $6,935.75 by August 31, 2009. A significant improvement. Accounts receivables changed from $465,326.64 on Aug. 31, 2008 to $305,287.83 as of Aug. 31, 2009. The collection of money for services rendered has improved. We are doing well, according to Erickson. Expenses for the last four years are below what they have previously been. We have increased revenue, Medicare's rate has increased slightly and we will get some more revenue from that source. Some of the changes we have made have reduced our expenses. The care center has never been a burden to the county and that is our goal to not be a burden to the tax payers of the county for the operation.
Administrators report. Colleen Chauvet the former Administrator has decided to move on to another aspect of her life. Bryan Erickson had a letter from Chauvet that she requested be read to the board. In the letter she reminded the board that they hired her to do a job and then did everything in their power to prevent her from doing that job. She pointed out that the board members would not come and talk with her about situations in the care center, but they would listen to everyone else. In her letter she challenged the integrity and ethics of the board members.
After a lengthy executive session Chairman Gil Conover reported, the board without opposition had decided to appoint an interim administrator.
Three people had applied for the job of administrator. One of those applicants withdrew the application and the other one found a job elsewhere. At this time there is only one candidate.
The board member Caleen Wilcox former owner of Turnquist Retreat resigned her board membership prior to the executive session so that she could be considered for the cdministrator of the care center position. The board then appointed Caleen Wilcox temporary or interim administrator of the care center for the salary of $52,500 effective Oct. 1. This is a six month appointment and Wilcox will be able to re-apply in February. This job will be advertised in February to be filled by March.
Wilcox has a temporary administrator license until she passes her boards to become a licensed nursing home administrator. The board decided that Wilcox would be introduced to the nursing staff the morning of Sept. 30 by Erickson.

As someone who wanted to change her name from Olivia to Alivia long ago, I'm really glad I stuck with Olivia. In my opinion, its much more beautiful, both in sound and in spelling. Having an O as the first letter of my name is something I'm proud of now, as its unique and different. O's are beautiful.
Alivia is very trendy and I'm glad I can be called Olive instead of Allie. Liv and Livi are also nicknames that I've used all my life, and they fit me to a tee. Its energetic and full of life, sunshiney and always smiling. I'm glad my mom chose this name for me, as it suits me very well. It has its Shakespearean roots connected to the olive branch, which is a symbol of peace. My career path is Journalism with a background of Humanities, and I'm making my way to become a human right's activist; I want to bring peace to peoples' lives. Its funny how things like that work out. I am my name.
I'm grateful to be an Olivia.aurora- autumn- ashwyn- bambi- bernadette- calliope- emmalou- henriette- indigo- ione- january- lark- leela- llewellyn- lydia- marnie- molly- narnia- noelle- oralee- penelope- philomena- rain- raven- roxy- ruby- snow- tessa- thora- waverly- willow- winter- wren- zoe | abel- aesop- angus- banjo- bartholomew- bear- bruce- burkley- darwin- elliot- finn- flynn- foster- henry- indigo - knox - laszlo - lyle - navy - nemo - noah - otis - oakley - rainn - thatcher - thomas - thompson - titus - zen

Alivia is a misspelled Olivia - dont make your child go through life correcting people and hearing 'did you say Olivia' - i have a correctly spelled name but its a name that rhymes and sounds like lots of other names so trust me ITS NOT FUN, IT NEVER GETS LESS BOTHERSOME.
for Maren try variations like Marian, small changes can transform a name but keep the same feel
if the grandmother hated being named Alice, dont use it. try variations & similar sounds like Allison or Elsiei do not ignore the Rich Text toolbar provided me. i bold, italicize, enlarge, underline and CAPITALIZE for emphasis, individuality, and to capture attention among the endless Arial Standard Size Font that everyone else uses.
i am not screaming nor will i cosset you. i do this to highlight the most important aspect of my thoughts so they are not lost again in the never ending sea of tiny, black, tempered letters that make up forums everywhere.
~*~ i encourage you to do the same ~*~
August 22nd, 2013 02:50 AM #22
I'm just going to suggest Aliya.
that way you keep the 'Al' and have a 'y'... it is the less popular and more refined spelling of 'Aaliyah'
or even Alicia (al-ee-see-ah or ah-lee-sha).
Which is a good compromise between Alivia and Alice.

text: Seems to be a run of negativity on the forum recently. I just want you all to know I am saying a prayer for each and every one of you. I pray that things will improve, and you are able to embrace and rejoice as this holiday season approaches. With a group such as this, who so deeply loves Christmas time, and all that it brings, I believe no one deserves happiness more than you all! As it happens, my life, work, and family are enjoying a very positive and uplifting time. I feel a bit guilty talking about it, but I just want you all to know I hope for the best for everyone. At the same time, I must remember not to take my situation for granted. My wish is for us ALL to have a wonderful holiday season as it draws closer and closer!

Is it unpopular? I thought it was ranked quite high in shonen jump... I like it too.
Is it unpopular? I thought it was ranked quite high in shonen jump... I like it too.
Sigh... No more Ace... Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, D grayman, Full Metal Alchemist, and Katekyo Hitman reborn are in some dark times...
I have to catch up to it got lost around chapter 116 or so but It's good
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
where's 127?? I want zebra to be introduced already >0
Nice chapter, and I loved how Zebra just broke out of there like it was nothing, I wonder how he got so strong plus I want to know what or how much he ate lol. I at first thought he kept eating all the prison animals that were suppose to eat him but I guess not. Liked the wardens abilities too, very interesting and powerful but I guess it doesn't work on you if you don't have a nose lol.
I can't wait for the next chapter, I want to see him eat all those animals whole!!! Plus I want to see more sound attacks and see how strong he really is.
Looks like the 4 kings all have a certain "sense" affinity. Toriko = Smell, Coco = Sight, Zebra = Hearing, Sani = Taste/Touch
I wonder whose stronger, Sani or Zebra???
A pie in the sky?
What I'm curious about is how did he get all those scars and that ripped mouth-part (will it heal when he'll eat?)
He's truly a beast, and from the looks of it, I think he's stronger than sani. (Just my opinion)
... will there be any mellow cola left after they find it? O.o

So much for silver's 9% plunge in Asian trading. U.S. investors are buying this dip. With both hands. It sure looks like shorts are taking an opportunity get out of their positions.
This morning, metal prices were in a rut, but now it's not even a dip. As of noon in the U.S., silver futures are suddenly ahead by 2.5% after declining by 3% or more in early trading. iShares Silver Trust (SLV), which was ahead of the metal all morning, is now up by 4%. ProShares UltraShort Silver (ZSL) erased early gains and has slumped 8% recently. ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) is up by more than 6%. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is ahead by 2.4%.
The trading takes nothing away from silver's ability to keep the label "the devil's metal."
But worth noting: Metals traders entered Monday's session with some large short positions. Here's the scoop from Friday's CFTC regulatory data, from Dow Jones Newswires' Tatyana Shumsky and Matt Day:
Speculative gold traders reduced their net bullish bet on gold prices to its lowest level since July 2007, according to data released Friday afternoon by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Large money managers and hedge funds shed 2,986 long contracts, or bets on higher gold prices, and added 7,057 short contracts, or bets on lower prices, during the week ended May 14.
The number of open short positions in gold futures and options is at a record high of 74,432 contracts, the largest ever since the CFTC started breaking out the speculative trader category in 2006.
Make sure you got that: Monday's trading takes place in the context of record high short positions in gold futures and options!
Stifel Nicolaus & Co. trader Dave Lutz conveys the chatter he's hearing, which is entirely in keeping with the idea of a short-covering rally:
I "Hear" Short stops triggered in gold $15 in 4 minutes, silver jumps 50 cents for new highs in a market determined to stop out everyone. Massive short cover?
And Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson sees the conditions for a short-term bounce, but not for a change in the long-term trend:
The other interesting action, which started last night, has been the precious metals. After being down over 8% at one point, Silver has nearly recovered the entire decline. Gold has actually gone into positive territory. If you are a Bull on precious metals, there are some positives in that type of action. First, Gold did NOT make a new low with Silver overnight. The low of 1338 was slightly higher than the April 16th low of 1322. That could be considered a non-confirmation and "potential" bullish divergence.
Also note that even as Silver made a new low by a wide margin, RSI does not appear to be doing so, another non-confirmation. Of course none of this means the medium or long-term trends have changed, they are still quite bearish. It does, however, open up the potential for a short-term bounce.
Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) is also seeing some relief. It's up 4%, cutting its 2013 loss to 41%.

Good Taste in Fashion
When Ken Stephens was trying to come up with a creation for this year's West Michigan Wedding Association Bridal Show, the self-taught confectioner had a sweet idea: drape the bride in chocolate.
"At first, I was just kind of saying it," said Stephens, co-owner of MiraBella Confections in Grand Rapids. "I had no idea how I was actually going to do it, to be honest."
Stephens figured it out and, with his six employees, has spent the better part of a month working on elements of the knee-length wedding gown made almost entirely of chocolate.
Model Leah Turner will be dressed from head to toe in the sweet stuff for the show. Her ensemble will include a bouquet of 30 long-stemmed chocolate roses, a Swarovski crystal-encrusted chocolate tiara and stilettos with chocolate-and-crystal brooches. And yes, everything but the crystals will be edible.
An estimated 50 pounds of chocolate will be used on the dress, and Turner won't be able to sit down, but Stephens said she will be able to walk the runway with relative ease.
"And after we put her all together, we'll stick her outside so she won't melt," Stephens said.
He designed the dress working from sketches drawn by a customer. The design has since evolved.
"It's kind of like the cake decorating thing, it just comes instinctually," he said.
"That's the fun part of it for me. I want to play when I'm creating."
Stephens didn't know the idea had been done before-on the Martha Stewart show and at Chocolate Week in New York City, to name just two.
But Stephens, who owns MiraBella with partner Alex Lovelorn, said his creation will be one of a kind. Most of the pieces will be made using Switzerland-based Callebaut chocolate.

Eastern Henrico FISH Provides Assistance
Eastern Henrico FISH depends on the help of local churches and charitable organizations to get members in the community back on their feet.
The non-profit serves Henrico residents east and south of Mechanicsville Turnpike including Highland Springs, Varina, and Sandston providing clothes, food, and financial assistance for people with short term emergencies.
"We strive for FISH's presence to help strengthen Eastern Henrico through the organizations and community that supports us," said Vickie Martin, director of FISH.
Martin has been with FISH since 2002 and got involved with the organization through her church, New Bridge Baptist, and has worked as a volunteer and staff member before becoming director.
FISH, which is a nationwide organization, has been in Metro Richmond for 38 years and since 2001 has served clients and donors out of Village Presbyterian Church with a clothes closet, food pantry, information and referral services.
"We moved to the church to be more accessible to clients and to make it easier for donors to drop things off," said Martin.
The organization helps victims in all kinds of situations that have put them at a disadvantage. FISH covers portions of rent, a mortgage, car repair, or utilities for those that qualify.
FISH has established criteria to help the people in the community who are desperately in need of financial aid or other items and takes time to consider circumstances in each household. Last year, it served 400 households, or about 1,100 individuals.
"We look at what the need is, we see them through that emergency, and are there to help them get through that bump in the road," said Martin.
All of the items such as clothes and food are donated by the community or from members of the 26 churches that are involved with FISH. The group partners with these churches, civic groups, businesses, social services and other government agencies and non-profits to better serve their clients.
"We rely on churches in the community for support," said Martin.
Fundraisers are held by the non-profit to spread awareness and help to aid their mission. An annual benefit concert is held to bring everyone involved in the organization together and take up donations. It's usually the organization's largest event and is held at different venues each year. The most recent concert was held at Sandston Baptist Church.
Eastern Henrico FISH has an average of 50 volunteers, with several coming in each week to assist families and individuals over the phone and work in the clothes closet and food pantry rooms. In 2009, volunteers gave 3,000 hours of their to help clients of FISH.
"Without the support of our volunteers we couldn't maintain," said Martin.
Eutanaha Fluker has volunteered for FISH for over 20 years and has seen the positive effect the organization has on the community.
"FISH does a good job of determining what a person's real needs are and referring them to churches," said Fluker. Like Martin, Fluker is a member of New Bridge Baptist and got involved after word spread about the growing needs of the non-profit.
"It's really important for churches to work together to do what we do for FISH," Fluker said.
Fluker has served as a church representative for the group in the past, worked the phone taking calls from clients and spent hours in the food pantry and clothes closet.
Around this time of year, FISH receives a good amount of food donations for its food pantry but is in serious need of financial donations. It's also seeking other churches that are interested in joining the cause.
"We're always looking to add churches to support our mission," said Martin.
FISH is available to people in the Eastern Henrico area Monday- Friday from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Families or individuals needing assistance from FISH, or people who wish to make a contribution, can reach the organization at 222-5564.

Eastman Kodak Co. has reached a proposed agreement in which it would terminate its retiree benefits program effective Dec. 31.
The company on Wednesday said that, following extensive negotiations, it reached an agreement in principle with the Official Committee of Retirees that provides for a comprehensive resolution of Kodak's retiree health care and survivor benefits liabilities.
The retiree benefits program includes medical, dental, life insurance and survivor income benefits.
In satisfaction of its $1.2 billion retiree benefits liability, Kodak will provide the committee with a $7.5 million cash payment to support initial administration and benefit obligations, a $635 million unsecured claim and a $15 million allowed administrative claim that would have priority status in Kodak's reorganization proceedings, the company said.
The funds can be used at the committee's discretion to make payments to retirees to subsidize a limited portion of future benefit costs.
The agreement has the support of the debtor's Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and will significantly reduce one of Kodak most substantial legacy liabilities, marking another major step toward Kodak's successful emergence from Chapter 11, the company said. It currently costs Kodak some $10 million a month.
Kodak said the proposed agreement results in significant cost savings and liquidity enhancement and eliminates the need for costly and lengthy litigation. Ultimately, through the allowed claims process, the retirees' recovery is linked to Kodak's successful reorganization.
Kodak said it recognizes this action will pose challenges for retirees.
The agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and a hearing is scheduled for Oct. 29.
"With this proposed resolution to our U.S. retiree benefit legacy liabilities, Kodak takes a major step forward toward our successful emergence. Today's agreement is a decisive accomplishment toward one of our fundamental objectives in our restructuring. At the same time, Kodak continues to make progress in the other important restructuring areas as we prepare Kodak for emergence. We are appreciative of the hard work and engagement of the 1114 Committee that helped us reach this agreement and of the great contributions of our retirees," said Chairman and CEO Antonio Perez in a statement.
EKRA Ltd., an organization of Kodak retirees, said Wednesday evening it became aware Kodak submitted a motion to the bankruptcy court in New York City to present a proposal negotiated with the Official Retirees Committee to eliminate all retiree health and welfare benefits.
"Although EKRA has not seen the details of the Kodak plan, we are very disappointed that the information about such a dramatic change in health and welfare benefits became known via the public court venue. It is especially disappointing that neither Kodak nor the Official Retiree Committee, who worked on this for the past five months, felt it was important to communicate to retirees the direness of the Kodak situation nor in any way to indicate the Draconian result they were about to reveal. This, coupled with not seeking input, makes this news all the more shocking," EKRA said in a statement.
Both Kodak and EKRA said the proposal does not affect pension benefits.

Well, maybe, and not everywhere. But as this New York Times report from a couple of months ago indicates, in a number of cities things are headed in the right direction. This is particularly significant because there has been very little to celebrate for folks concerned about the rising rates of ill-health among our nation's youth. For the last thirty years, obesity rates have moved steadily upward — with no sign of improvement.
This news demonstrates the possibility that we've hit a high water mark for childhood obesity. This would indeed be a welcome development. The lifelong effects of early obesity are devastating in terms of health and well-being for afflicted children. The effects tend to be lifelong — children who become obese are highly likely to struggle with health and weight issues over time.
This is definitely a sensitive issue. With all the talk of "childhood obesity," I hate to think about how the implicated children likely feel, or their parents. It is important, and often lost, that this isn't a moral crusade against anyone but simply a public health concern to be addressed. There are reasons that the rate of obesity has spiked, and it isn't that a ton of kids just stopped having willpower. Something in our environment has changed, and this should concern us all, from parents to doctors to otherwise concerned citizens.
Perhaps public awareness has started to change behavior. Or maybe we've just hit a "genetic peak," in which most folks who are predisposed to obesity have now become obese. Perhaps environmental change has worked — the "obesegenic environments" as they've been named, such as school cafeterias have made changes such as eliminating vending machines.
Or maybe some combination, or some other factor. It's just good to know that change is possible.

i LOVE the Drawing contests!!! they are really awesome!!!
and i think maybe having like some sort of cosplay contest would be really fun c:
i was reading through some other posts and quite a few said writing. but to me a writing contest isn't something that sounds very appealing to me. since im better at expressing my ideas through drawings than i am writing.
so maybe if you want to have a contest make it so that you can have 2 or more options to pick from.
e.g some one can pick to draw and a different person can pick writing for that same contest. c:
well i hope this helps c:
The drawing ones are my favorite so far.
A short animation contest might also be cool where you could use any program to make a funny animation. Like flash, anime studio, maya, etc. The funniest one wins. Maybe you fine people at CR can make a deal with Anime Studio so the winner get a free copy of Anime Studio Pro.
Maybe you could do contest on the new series of Hayate no Gotoku, where people have to create our own clocks. Just an idea! For other contest maybe have people write a script or lyrics to their own theme song that corresponds with the anime or draw a comic strip.
I'm a busy person so, deal with it!
How about an achievement contest where the achievements are secret until you decide the winners. For instance you could have one for recruiting the most paying members.... generating the most interest in facebook etc.... stuff that values the whole community. Reward people for doing stuff that you would have to pay people to do otherwise....
My 2 cents:
Cosplay contests are pretty neat.
contests of chance are good. contests of skill, not everyone will take part in.

I've participated in a couple at least of the contests so far and imo they are pretty fair, making a birthday card for naruto was fun!
I don't mind singing contests, but it's not something I would actively want to participate in, but it's good to switch it up a bit.
I enjoyed the Un-go thing where we earn the badge, that was fun - maybe more of those? In the end of the day you can't truly please everyone, if you do a cosplay one - not everyone cosplays so those that don't will feel discouraged and like one member stated he felt bad cause he's disabled and couldn't draw; so it's like sh*t :(
Drawing/semi-artistic and writing seems more universally acceptable in contests, now that I think about more "search and active participation" contests would be better for most of CR members such as watching a new/old series episodes 1-5 etc. and answer the questions and then you'll be entered in this or that drawing and everyone who gets entered receives a unique badge for that contest - no one needs to draw or write, all we gotta do is watch anime; cause when you get a bit fancy like make a video like for the ps3 for example, didn't seem like many ppl participated for a pretty damn good prize.
beats me.
I would have wanted the CR crew to autograph it.
you should definitely keep drawing contests but singing contest sound great as well!! very good idea :)
maybe you can try poems or photography.
Soooooooo.. have we had a update about this lately? If so maybe lock the thread unless that was the point? Endless idea with no idea if any of them are being taken seriously? THIS is a problem in CR and why some people don't participate.

Well in a sense they have adopted some of the ideas, The land key contest has 3 judges with the criteria to be released after the winners are announced. Also the weekly caption contest seems like it steamed from suggestions on this thread. I don't think the thread is locked because this is a good thread for ideas.
I think there should be a contest for writing. Maybe "Write a new episode to [INSERT ANIME HERE]"
I like contests where it's not the skill involved (like how good of an artist you are), but the why behind the item. That way, even if it's just stick figures, you can still explain what you were aiming for, and could potentially win against someone who has amazing painting skills, but lacks the story behind their art.
Of course, those kinds of contests are a lot harder to judge, I'd assume.
Definitely like some of the scavenger hunt style suggestions, and plays on word puns would be fun as well. You suggest a phrase as the basis of the contest, and everyone tries to come up with the best anime/episode that matches that (kind of like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity). That way, it's less trivia lookups through Google and more finding the best response, whether best is most appropriate or most inappropriate, depending on the judges.
It might be easier to gather what kind of contest people would want to do via poll. That way you can see easier statistics since you would give the options and would'nt need to scroll down and go through all of these pages to see what people prefer.
You know something's epic when as soon as u finish it, u want to re-watch it
Can you make one based on Nichijou?! Please? Please? Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top? Hahaha~

It is almost 11 months to the day since the Wallabies overcame the Springboks in that controversial Rugby World Cup quarter-final.
It is almost 11 months to the day since the Wallabies defeated the Springboks in that controversial Rugby World Cup quarter-final in Wellington.
That isn't a cue for out-of-date comments people, although the term out-of-date has arisen of late as the two sides look to have backtracked from 2011.
Many would have expected that since the RWC clash, both nations might have improved and be battling New Zealand for the summit of the IRB Rankings. Instead, we have a Wallabies coach reportedly clinging to his job by his fingernails and a Bok boss employing an antiquated game-plan.
The impressive All Blacks, meanwhile, currently enjoy a 6.38 rating points advantage – their record margin being 9.41 way back in the June of 2007. Meyer's charges are trailing in third but let's be honest for a second, first and fourth spot in the world list by December is a much of a muchness.
Consequently, the carrot of moving to within one spot of the All Blacks in the rankings will not have been given a second thought by South Africa as Jean de Villiers looks to lift his outfit following their showing in Mendoza, where their bulldozing tactic was easily absorbed by Argentina.
We do not expect a drastic change in the somewhat limited kick and charge plan from the Boks, but if it was going to succeed then against the Wallabies is when it possibly would.
Factor in that there is a fresh and untried winger wearing jersey number fourteen in the shape of Dom Shipperley – while Reds team-mate Digby Ioane has shown over the years that he can be rattled and is prone to more than one fumble per game – and South Africa will continue to go the airborne and also direct route with the question being: can Australia do what the Pumas did so brilliantly at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas a few weekends ago?
The general consensus is the hosts may not be suited to going toe-to-toe with their visitors, and while their recent four-game winning streak over South Africa is admirable, a lot has changed since in their starting XV since the 11-9 result at Wellington Regional Stadium.
A lack of Pat McCabe takes away their own direct option when showy attacks aren't on – an attribute Berrick Barnes simply does not possess – while the absence of James O'Connor, Stephen Moore, David Pocock, Stephen Moore, James Horwill and Drew Mitchell coinciding with form dips from Kurtley Beale, Will Genia and Quade Cooper leaves them struggling. Due to those issues, Deans now selects a different back-line for the third fixture in a row.
It seems like a mid-term telling off for the Wallabies but they are not alone in upsetting their masses as the Springboks, who frequently talk about having a Plan B, desperately need to prove they are more than what they have shown in their last three international outings.
Two draws and a win has not gone down well in the Republic as they persist with a selection that smacks more of structure than allowing flair and inhibition to flow.
One positive to come from their last showing is the inclusion of Johan Goosen, albeit on the bench. But judging by the recent fate of Pat Lambie, whether or not we see him make it onto the field is another matter entirely. If we do, maybe this 'Plan B' will have legs to stand.
Ones to watch:
For Australia: At 36 years old, Radike Samo gets a run at number eight ahead of Scott Higginbotham. The demotion of the latter player to bench duty was something of a surprise as maybe Dave Dennis could have been the man warming the pine, with Higginbotham switching to blindside. However, Deans has gone for a different route as he names a back-row that lacks in Test experience. Michael Hooper will, as usual, give his all while further forward it is unfortunate that Stephen Moore misses out on becoming the most-capped Wallaby hooker of all time due to a hamstring injury. That feat will come soon enough.
For South Africa: Getting the intelligent rugby brain of Ruan Pienaar onto the field is a great move from visiting head coach Heyneke Meyer as his form for Ulster over the past year or so has been exceptional. One hopes to see him alongside Johan Goosen at some stage, which would be a proud moment for Grey College in Bloemfontein. Furthermore, if Frans Steyn is still on the field it would be a 9-10-12 combination. It has seemed like the Boks' game-plan has muzzled the enterprising talent that is Francois Hougaard, so it will be interesting to see if he flourishes out on the left wing ahead of a benched Lwazi Mvovo.
Head-to-head: Although he is our one-to-watch for Australia, Radike Samo going up against a Springbok number eight who surely cannot be fit enough for international rugby is going to be interesting. Western Province coach Allister Coetzee said after Duane Vermeulen's Currie Cup comeback against Griquas: "Duane ended up playing an extra ten minutes than we'd initially planned. He wasn't quite at his best, but it's understandable. I would say he needs at least three or so matches before he'll be back at his best Currie Cup/Super Rugby standard." One game later, here he is in Perth. It's a big ask of Vermeulen on Saturday.
Recent results:
2011: Australia won 11-9, Wellington
2011: Australia won 14-9, Durban
2011: Australia won 39-20, Sydney
2010: Australia won 41-39, Bloemfontein
2010: South Africa won 44-31, Pretoria
2010: Australia won 30-13, Brisbane
2009: Australia won 21-6, Brisbane
2009: South Africa won 32-25, Perth
2009: South Africa won 29-17, Cape Town
2008: South Africa won 53-8, Johannesburg
Prediction: Australia have a 62 per cent winning record over South Africa on home soil, but that dips to 42 per cent in Perth. I just feel that the Springboks' tough game-plan will work against the Wallabies and they will end their four-game rot. Let's say… South Africa by 6!
The teams:
Australia: 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Dominic Shipperley, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Radike Samo, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.

Love <3
"These are my first pair of Converse, and I love them! They took a couple wears to break-in. The feminine purple/pink color accents distinguish them from the usual tomboy look of ladies' Converse. Scuff marks are easy to clean from the sole as well. They are true to size. I wear thin socks with them, and have not worn them without socks yet... It's 20 degrees in PA!"
