As many of you know, every April the NYLJ publishes it’s annual “Top Verdicts” Special Report that includes verdicts as well as settlements. With court backlogs growing and clients often unable to wait four to seven years for compensation, litigants and their counsel continue to search for alternatives. For this reason, we have decided to present to you this special supplement with its unique focus on settlements. Working with our ALM sister product VerdictSearch we have compiled this listing of all settlements, arbitrations and mediations reported to VerdictSearch as of December 2012. Many of the cases in these listings represent the best of the best. In addition to highlighting the Top 30 settlements reported to VerdictSearch in 2012 we also broke down these listings by categories including Construction, Medical Malpractice, Premises Liability, Motor Vehicle and Workplace Safety. The following pages represent the end result of the zealous advocacy and skillful expertise of your colleagues. The work of these advocates was outstanding and we salute them. If you do not see a case you worked on this year highlighted in the supplement, we encourage you to begin reporting your cases to VerdictSearch. VerdictSearch is second to none when it comes to verdict and settlement research and reporting. For over 40 years, VerdictSearch has been the nation’s trusted source for news and research, providing legal and insurance professionals with the most accurate, detailed case reports each week. You can find them online at www.verdictsearch.com. If you cannot wait until April 2013 for more information on verdicts and settlements, please remember that every Monday on page 5, the New York Law Journal runs a special Verdicts & Settlements section in the paper highlighting recently important or newsworthy cases. Finally, I would like to extend a special thanks to the entire New York Law Journal sales, marketing and design team as well as our consultant on this project, Brian Corrigan, and his team. Their efforts allowed this fantastic supplement to come together despite tight deadlines and a lot of changes by yours truly. As always, if you have any thoughts on this program or any other we run here at the New York Law Journal, please drop me a line. I can be reached at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you, all the best in the upcoming year!

    Musical Culture and the Modernist Writer

    SUBLIME NOISE: MUSICAL CULTURE AND THE MODERNIST WRITER By Joshua Benjamin Epstein Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in ENGLISH December, 2008 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Mark Wollaeger Professor Carolyn Dever Professor Joy Calico Professor Jonathan Neufeld ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First thanks go to the members of my incomparable dissertation committee. Mark Wollaeger's perceptive critiques and (somehow) relentless optimism have been deeply appreciated, and Carolyn Dever's clarifying questions and sound advice have proven invaluable. As teachers, mentors, and readers of my work, Mark and Carolyn have been models of professionalism and generosity since I first arrived at Vanderbilt. Joy Calico's near-omniscience and keen critical eye have aided this project from its inception, and she has graciously tolerated my encroachment on her disciplinary terrain. Jonathan Neufeld has in many ways helped me grapple with the complex philosophical issues at stake (more complex than I had imagined!). To all four, I extend my sincere gratitude. My research has been funded by a grant from the College of Arts and Sciences; by the Robert Manson Myers Graduate Award in English; and by a year-long fellowship at Vanderbilt's Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. Mona Frederick, Galyn Martin, and Sarah Nobles have worked tirelessly to make the Warren Center a pleasant and intellectually vibrant environment, and while a fellow there I benefited greatly from the collegiality and wisdom of Michael Callaghan, Megan Moran, George Sanders, Nicole Seymour, David Solodkow, and Heather Talley.

ROTH and EDWIN R. WILLIS Pioneering Research Division Quartermaster Research and Engineering Center Natick, Mass. (Publication 4299) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION DECEMBER 19, 1957 THE LORD BALTIMORE PRESS, INC. BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. FOREWORD It is rare indeed that a reviewer finds that a publication completely changes his orientation to the matter discussed. In all honesty that was the end result of reading this detailed, comprehensive, and fascinating review of the relationships, both probable and possible, of cockroaches and disease. Although the cockroach has long been the target of intensive control efforts in both the civilian and the military communities, my personal grudge against the insect has been based more on suspicion than fact. I would surmise that most physicians, like myself, have been influenced by the lack of emphasis on the disease transmission potential of the cockroach in most medical curricula. This review has corrected that deficiency. It has replaced a complacent acceptance of the insect as an unpleasant nuisance in areas of poor sanitation with a firm belief that greater attention must be placed on increased attempts to demon- strate, both in the laboratory and in the field, possible relationships between the prevalence of cockroaches and the incidences of certain diseases. Perhaps these insects have received less attention in this country than they have deserved. One could say the same for typhoid fever, smallpox, yellow fever, dengue, and malaria.

  • Forster fi Rst Encountered Billy Budd in 1926

    Forster fi Rst Encountered Billy Budd in 1926

    . M. Forster fi rst encountered Billy Budd in 1926. Some twenty years later, he E embarked on a collaboration with Benjamin Britten and Eric Crozier, adapting Melville’s novella for the opera stage. The libretto they produced poignantly reaffi rms the Forsterian creed of salvation through personal relationships. This study presents an extensive exploration of Forster’s involvement in the interpre- Hanna Rochlitz tation, transformation and re-creation of Melville’s text. It situates the story of the Handsome Sailor in the wider context of Forster’s literary oeuvre, his life, and his life writings. In detailed readings, Billy Budd becomes a lens through which the themes, Sea-changes: patterns and leitmotifs of Forsterian thought and creative imagination are brought into focus. A close re-examination of the libretto sketches serves to shed new light on the Melville - Forster - Britten collaborative process in which Melville’s story was changed to fi t an archetypal array of plot and character types that is central to Forster’s own storytelling.
