What recession? Staten Island Ballet gets financially savvy to pull off this year's free 'International Choreographers Festival' STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- At the Staten Island Ballet this month, the motto is, "What downturn?" Of course, no one is saying that this company/school hasn't negotiated financial reverses. All community- based, not-for-profit performing arts entities have. The stock market might fall, but the dancers won't. Staten Island Ballet's annual admission-free showcase, "The New York International Choreographers Festival," will go on as it has for the past eight years, no matter the economy. The show is Saturday at 8 p.m. in the College of Staten Island's Center for the Arts on the Willowbrook campus. 4 of 123 Javier Ubell and Jacqui Dean rehearse for Saturday's performance. Founding director Ellen Tharp can offer general principals of savvy belt-tightening: "You cut your excess baggage where it won't make an artistic difference," she said. "You try to make money decisions intelligently." There's a role for loyalty, too. Foundations and other sources that have helped underwrite the festival in the past stepped up again this year.

    NOTE: Pursuant to Fed. Cir. R. 47.6, this disposition is not citable as precedent. It is a public record. United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 06-1050 (Opposition No. 91/156,780) LEON P. HART, Appellant, v. NEW YORK YANKEES PARTNERSHIP and STATEN ISLAND MINOR LEAGUE HOLDINGS, L.L.C., Appellees. __________________________ DECIDED: June 9, 2006 __________________________ Before MICHEL, Chief Judge, PLAGER, Senior Circuit Judge, and BRYSON, Circuit Judge. PER CURIAM. Leon P. Hart filed an intent-to-use application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register the mark BABY BOMBERS for clothing and athletic wear. The New York Yankees Partnership and Staten Island Minor League Holdings, L.L.C. (collectively, the “New York Yankees” or “Yankees”) filed an opposition, which the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) sustained. We affirm. The New York Yankees oppose Hart’s mark on the basis of their use of the common law mark BABY BOMBERS in association with the New York Yankees major league baseball club and with the Yankees’ minor league affiliate, the Staten Island Yankees baseball club. In order to establish their ground of opposition under section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), the Yankees must show that they have priority of use in the mark and that Hart’s mark, when used on the goods set forth in the application, would create a likelihood of confusion with the Yankees’ mark. See Hoover Co. v. Royal Appliance Mfg. Co., 238 F.3d 1357, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2001); 3 J.

  • Baseball on Staten Island by Freddy Berowski Staten Island Has a Long, Storied Connection to Our National Game
    Baseball Across New York Baseball on Staten Island By Freddy Berowski Staten Island has a long, storied connection to our national game. The borough has hosted major and minor league teams as well as thousands of semi- pro and amateur teams. Twenty-one Staten Islanders have joined the ranks of Major League Baseball and the island has been home to several major league stars. Formally organized in 1872, the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club was made up of a large contingent of Staten Islanders who had previously played with St. George’s Cricket Club of Hoboken, New Jersey. Tired of the long travel to partake in the national game, they established grounds at Camp Washington alongside the St. George Ferry. In 1886 and 1887 Staten Island played host to a major league franchise. After the 1885 season, the American Association’s New York Metropolitans, or Mets for short, moved from the Polo Grounds in Manhattan to the St. George Cricket Grounds in Staten Island. The team finished in next to last place in each of those two seasons before folding. The Bobby Thompson played for the New York Giants remnants of the franchise were purchased by the from 1946-53 and in 1957. Brooklyn Dodgers who took on the contracts of sever- al of the Mets’ more skilled players. The St. George Cricket Grounds was as modern a ballpark you could find at the time. It included a double-deck, grandstand that accommodated 4,400 fans, the longest of its kind at the time, and baseball’s most luxurious restaurant which featured windows allowing patrons to dine without missing a minute of the action.
