• It Happened in New York; Slavery in New York

Welcome to the most ambitious exhibition ever assembled on the subject of slavery in New York. On October 7, Slavery in New York, a multimedia exhibition, reveals a history of which most people are unaware, illuminates the contributions of enslaved people and explores the role slavery played in the making of New York and the United States. As many as 20% of colonial New Yorkers were enslaved Africans. First Dutch and then English merchants built the city's local economy largely around supplying ships for the trade in slaves and in what slaves produced -- sugar, tobacco, indigo, coffee, chocolate, and ultimately, cotton. New York ship captains and merchants bought and sold slaves along the coast of Africa and in the taverns of their own city. Almost every businessman in 18th-century New ...

• Determination of Failure To Attain the One-Hour Ozone Standard by 2007, Determination of Current Attainment of the One Hour Ozone Standard, Determinations of Attainment of the Eight-Hour Ozone Standards for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Nonattainment Area in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York

EPA is proposing four separate and independent determinations related to the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island (NY-NJ-CT) one- hour and 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment areas. The boundaries of the one-hour and eight-hour ozone nonattainment areas differ slightly. If EPA's determination that the area is currently attaining the eight- hour standard is finalized, EPA's ozone implementation regulation provides that the requirements for the States to submit certain reasonable further progress plans, attainment demonstrations, contingency measures and any other planning requirements of the Clean Air Act related to attainment of that ozone standard shall be suspended for as long as the area continues to attain the standard. A determination of attainment does not constitute a redesig...

• New Report: Largest Portion of Job Openings Projected for New York by 2018 in 'Middle-Skill' Sector ; New York's Economic Recovery Tied to Preparing Workers for Jobs Requiring More Than High School Diploma, Less Than a Four-Year Degree; New York Must Invest in Training Time Now to Meet Future Demand; Business, Labor, Education Leaders Launch New Skills2compete- New York Campaign

NEW YORK, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly one million "middle-skill" job openings--positions that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree--are projected for the state by 2018, concludes a new study released today by National Skills Coalition in partnership with the New York City Department of Small Business Services and the New York Association of Training and Employment Professionals. But to reap the full economic benefits of these openings, New York will need to expand investment in proper training and education for its workforce to make sure residents are ready for those jobs. Though the recession has slowed current employment growth, the report projects that middle-skill jobs (including new jobs and replacement) would account for nearly 40 per...

• Trajectories for the Immigrant Second Generation in New York City

The fates of immigrant's children --- the new second generation -- will likely shape how to evaluate the current epoch of immigration. The 2000 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) indicates that 1.62 million biological children, adopted children, or stepchildren under the age of 18 lived in families headed by their parent or parents in New York City in 2000. While New York City can be tough on any young person, regardless of where their parents were born, the children of immigrants face extra difficulties. First, only a third of New York City's 3 million households are families with related children under 18. Scholars speculating about second-generation trajectories have also worried that the larger social patterns of racial inequality and discrimination will force those children of immi...

• New York State Supreme Court, New York County's Decision in 'Bad Boy Guaranty' Case Good for Lenders

Times have unquestionably been tough for lenders and borrowers in the commercial real estate market. But lenders may have caught a break recently in a New York State Supreme Court, New York County decision that indicated summary judgment may be granted to enforce a "bad boy guaranty," and that such guaranties are not unenforceable or against public policy. The case, UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-FL1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-through Certificates, Series 2007-FL1 v. Garrison Special Opportunities Fund LP, has received far more attention than a trial court ruling might otherwise receive. In the case, the court ordered the defendant guarantor to repay the full amount of the loan pursuant to the terms of the guarantee when the borrower filed for bankruptcy.

Look, I'm very-I'm an alternatives fuel guy; I believe that's important. As a matter of fact, we've expanded-mightily expanded the use of ethanol-a slight consequence if you rely upon corn to grow your hogs. But nevertheless, it's a-it is a policy that basically says that we got to diversify. But diversification does not happen overnight. You know, I firmly believe people in New York City are going to be driving automobiles on battery relatively quickly.
