FAIR ENOU REIIN TE YELLOWSTONE INJUNCTION TO FIT NEW YORK COMMERCIAL LEAIN LANCAPE AN PROMOTE JUICIAL ECONOMY ABTRACT The Yellowstone injunction is an equitable remedy that tolls any applicable cure period and gives tenants a better opportunity to maintain their leasehold when they have defaulted under their lease. The remedy is available to commercial tenants in New York City and to commercial and residential tenants throughout the State. This Note examines the Yellowstone injunction in the context of New York City’s commercial tenants, who employ it most frequently and benefit most from its protections. This Note examines the development and application of the Yellowstone injunction and proposes changing the doctrine to exclude cases of monetary defaults and expired or nonexistent cure periods from the realm of Yellowstone relief.

    THE LIFE AND WORK OF LUTHER ORLANDO EMERSON 1 820- 1915 by KA IN S. BLAND FORD A thesis Prese nted to the Faculty of t he Department o f Mus i c o f Christopher Newport Un iversity I n par t i a l fulfi l l me n t of the Requireme nts f or the Degre e Ba c he l or o f Mus i c Apri l, 1994 CAPTAINJOHN SMITH LffiRARY CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY NEWPORT NEWS. VIRGINIA Approved by Director /'p, v Hines, Ph .D . /71c~ « . 2~:r4 -~ Ma rk U. Re i me r D.M . Reader ABSTRACT Luther Orlando Emerson (1820-1915), along with many other New England composers, was a pioneer in the field of music education. Compiler and composer of music for churches, singing schools, choral societies, and public schools, and through his work at music conventions, and teaching positions in various institutes throughout Massachusetts, Emerson played a maj or role in the promotion of music education for the masses. Widely popular in his day, Emerson made great contributions in sacred music, as he was devoted to elevating the standards and general character of church music. The objective of this thesis is to explore the life and work of this most .prolific, nineteenth-century composer. The content of the first chapter is the early life of Emerson: his home life, early musical experiences, and his early education. The second chapter's subjects are his formal music education, beginning professional work in teaching and conventions, and his first books. The subjects of the third chapter are Emerson's main convention work and his later life.

  • Diasporic P'ungmul in the United States
    Diasporic P’ungmul in the United States: A Journey between Korea and the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Soo-Jin Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Professor Udo Will, Advisor Associate Professor Chan E. Park Assistant Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Soo-Jin Kim 2011 Abstract This study contributes to understanding diaspora and its music cultures by examining the Korean genre of p’ungmul as a particular site of continuous and dynamic cultural socio-political exchange between the homeland and the host society. As practiced in Los Angeles and New York City, this genre of percussion music and dance is shaped by Korean cultural politics, intellectual ideologies and institutions as p’ungmul practitioners in the United States seek performance aesthetics that fit into new performance contexts. This project first describes these contexts by tracing the history of Korean emigration to the United States and identifying the characteristics of immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York City. While the p’ungmul troupes developed by Korean political refugees, who arrived during the 1980s, show the influence of the minjung cultural movement in Korea, cultural politics of the Korean government also played an important role in stimulating Korean American performers to learn traditional Korean performing arts by sending troupes to the United States. The dissertation then analyzes the various methods by which p’ungmul is transmitted in the United States, including the different methods of teaching and learning p’ungmul—writing verbalizations of instrumental sounds on paper, score, CD/DVD, and audio/video files found on the internet—and the cognitive consequences of those methods.

  • The Ring Around the Rose: Jay Defeo and Her Circle
    The Ring around The Rose: Jay DeFeo and her Circle By Elizabeth Allison Ferrell A dissertation submitted for partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emerita Anne M. Wagner, Chair Professor Emeritus Timothy Clark Professor Shannon Jackson Professor Darcy Grigsby Fall 2012 Copyright © Elizabeth Allison Ferrell 2012 All Rights Reserved Abstract The Ring around The Rose by Elizabeth Allison Ferrell Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Emerita Anne M. Wagner, Chair From 1958 to 1966, the San Francisco artist Jay DeFeo (1929-89) worked on one artwork almost exclusively – a monumental oil-on-canvas painting titled The Rose. The painting’s protracted production isolated DeFeo from the mainstream art world and encouraged contemporaries to cast her as Romanticism’s lonely genius. However, during its creation, The Rose also served as an important matrix for collaboration among artists in DeFeo’s bohemian community. Her neighbors – such as Wallace Berman (1926-76) and Bruce Conner (1933-2008) – appropriated the painting in their works, blurring the boundaries of individual authorship and blending production and reception into a single process of exchange. I argue that these simultaneously creative and social interactions opened up the autonomous artwork, cloistered studio, and the concept of the individualistic artist championed in Cold-War America to negotiate more complex relationships between the individual and the collective. 1 To the memory of my best friend, Mila Noelle Rainof, M.D., whose compassion and courage will always inspire the best things I do i Table of Contents List of Figures………………………………………………………………………………….…iii Acknowledgements ……………………………………………………………………………....xi Introduction ……………………………………………………………………………………….1 Chapter 1…………………………………………………………………………………………24 “S.F.

  • Lessons Learned: Supporting Family, Friend and Neighbor Care &Family Child Carein New York
    TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO FILE: NATIONAL WOMEN’S LAW CENTER LESSONS LEARNED: SUPPORTING FAMILY, FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR CARE &FAMILY CHILD CARE IN NEW YORK OCTOBER 6, 2009 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT: PHYLLIS (OPERATOR): Good afternoon, my name is Phyllis, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Lessons Learned Supporting Family Friend and Neighbor Care and Family Child Care in New York State. KAREN SCHULMAN: Thank you for joining us today for the third in a series of conference calls on supporting family child care and family friend and neighbor care. Today we’ll be discussing efforts by unions in New York on behalf of these providers and we are fortunate to have two wonderful presenters joining us. Tammie Miller is the elected Chapter Chair of the UST Home Child Care Providers Chapter. She represents nearly 28,000 home-based providers, including family child care providers and subsidized family, friend and neighbor providers throughout New York City. She is an early childhood educator and registered family child care provider of six years. Denise Dowell is the Director of Early Learning and Care Programs for C SEA, AFSCME’s largest affiliate. CSEA is representing family child care providers and subsidized family friend and neighbor providers outside of New York City. Prior to working with CSEA, Denise worked in the field of early childhood education for over 20 years as a center director and teacher, educator and advocate. In 1998, she co-founded the United Child Care Union. The child care provider unions in New York are very, very close in moving closer today, in finalizing their contracts with the state and Denise and Tammy may talk a little bit about those contracts, but outside those contracts, Denise and Tammy and their unions have already made important steps forward in supporting family child care and FSN providers.
