Bill de Blasio MAIA LICHTENSTEIN Office of the Mayor SECRETARY 1285 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS City Hall NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019-6064 New York, NY 10007 Phone: (212) 373-3974 Fax: (212) 757-3990 Dear Mayor de Blasio: [email protected] On behalf of the Civil Rights Committee of the New York City Bar Association, I write to congratulate you on your election as Mayor. As you plan your upcoming term of office, the Civil Rights Committee urges you to reform the New York City Police Department’s (“NYPD”) stop- and-frisk practices. Founded in 1870, the New York City Bar Association (the “City Bar”) has a longstanding commitment to promoting reform of the law and providing service to the profession and the public. Under the City Bar’s auspices, the Civil Rights Committee works to ensure that all New Yorkers are able to benefit from New York City’s vast resources and opportunities. As you develop your agenda, the Civil Rights Committee would be honored to serve as a resource to you on this and other issues involving the civil rights and civil liberties of New Yorkers. As you are aware, the vast increase in the use of stop-and-frisk by the NYPD over the past ten years has led to justifiable concern that police officers are stopping New Yorkers based not upon individualized suspicion of criminal activity, but rather based upon illicit profiling of characteristics such as race and sexual orientation.1 The City Bar has been a consistent advocate for reform to the stop-and-frisk program.

    ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer D. M. A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

  • The Duty of Responsible Administration and the Problem of Police Accountability
    The Duty of Responsible Administration and the Problem of Police Accountability Charles F. Sabel and William H. Simont Many contemporary civil rights claims arisefrom institutionalactivity that, while troubling,is neither malicious nor egregiously reckless. When lawmakers find themselves unable to produce substantive rules for such activity, they often turn to regulating the actors' exercise of discretion. The consequence is an emerging duty of responsible administrationthat requires managers to actively assess the effects of their conduct on civil rights values and make reasonable efforts to mitigate harm to protectedgroups. This doctrinalevolution partially but imperfectly converges with an increasingemphasis in public administration on the need to reassess routines in the light of changing circumstances. We illustratethe doctrinal and administrative changes with a study of policing. We discuss court-supervised reforms in New York and Cincinnati as examples of contrasting trajectories that these developments can take. Both initiatives are better understood in terms of an implicit duty of responsible administrationthan as an expression of any particularsubstantive right. The Cincinnatiintervention, however, reaches more deeply into core administrativepractices and indeed mandates a particular crime control strategy: Problem-Oriented Policing (POP).As such, it typifies a more ambitious type of structural intervention that parallels comprehensive civil rights initiatives in other areas.

Each District Manager compiled the enclosed preliminary list of ‘hotspots’ within their community board districts that would benefit from further attention and analysis. Because each Community Board used its own criteria to develop its list, this cumulative list of intersections may contain areas where there are objective reasons for concerns and/or subjective reasons for concern. Some reasons given by Community Boards for inclusion of certain locations on their lists include, but are not limited to: (1) the location has been the site of pedestrian casualty and injury; (2) the location has been the site of speeding; (3) there may be crossing problems at the location due to turn off and signal timing; (4) signage at the location may be missing or obstructed; (5) there may be traffic enforcement issues at the site; (6) conditions and detours due to construction may exist; (7) there may be concerns over the width of an avenue and the time it takes to cross; (8) an intersection may have complex characteristics; and (9) other factors that may impact pedestrian safety.
