After taking Miami loss hard, Hokies QB Logan Thomas focusing on turning page, facing Florida State
Logan Thomas took the Miami loss hard. Harder than usual.
The quarterback was dejected, coaches said, his head down in a towel following a 30-12 loss to Miami on Thursday, a game in which he ran for a career-high 124 yards and threw for 199 but also had three crucial turnovers and several off-target passes in big spots.
"It hurt him deeply," quarterbacks coach Mike O'Cain said. "Logan is a tremendous competitor. You guys don't see that side of him. Takes tremendous pride in how he plays. Wants to be good very, very badly. … I think he might have felt like he was the reason we didn't win that ballgame."
It's the reason the normally media-friendly quarterback chose not to attend post-game interviews, despite being requested, a first for the junior. Honestly, he didn't know what he would have said.
"I didn't really have anything to say to you guys," Thomas said. "You all were going to ask the same questions y'all ask every single game after a loss. It was going to be the same answers. I think you could have just said, 'Logan Thomas said …' and it would have been the same as every other game."
"I guess I just took this game a little harder than the rest."
Perhaps because it was such a significant game. Miami became the clear frontrunner for the ACC's Coastal Division title with the win, moving to the front of a crowded field in the Coastal Division, a game and a half ahead of Virginia Tech in the standings (although whether the 'Canes self-impose a bowl ban and take themselves out of the running for the division title remains to be seen).
Thomas knows he didn't play his best. A few plays proved critical. He threw a pick on the opening drive at the Miami 11 on a pass intended for fullback Joey Phillips up the sideline.
"I didn't even see the guy," Thomas said. "He was stacked behind another one and he popped up when I moved to throw."
A fumble proved costly on a third-and-goal from the Miami 1-yard line when Tech trailed 20-12 in the third quarter. Instead of getting some kind of points, the Hokies gave the ball away.
"There was a little bit of flinch by the center [Caleb Farris], and it's one of those areas of the game that we all take for granted," offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring said. "Logan felt the flinch and started to back up a little bit to get the play started. It's a fine line."
With it still an eight-point game in the fourth quarter and Tech facing a fourth-and-one from the Miami 39. The Hokies had a solid play-call, play-action faking it to the running back and having Phillips wide open coming out of the backfield. Thomas overshot him by several feet, a crushing incompletion that took the wind out of the Hokies' sails. They were never close after that.
"Sometimes when you get a guy so wide open, you have a tendency to kind of, I use the term, 'feather' it out there," O'Cain said. "You just want to touch it. The one thing you don't want to do is miss him. And then you do. I've seen it over and over and over. … You don't throw it naturally. You don't just throw it as the same motion."
"I let some guys on the team down," Thomas said. "I want to play great every time I go out. It just happened that — I wouldn't say I played poorly — but I didn't play to the best of my abilities."
Thomas normally lets plays or losses roll off his shoulders. Coaches have noted that he's been good about not dwelling on mistakes throughout his career. But this game was different, probably because of what was at stake.
"I went up to him after the ballgame and I always, win, lose or draw, go see him and pat him on the back, hug him around the neck, whatever you do," O'Cain said. "And he wasn't in a mood to be talked to. Not that I talked to him, that's not the right word. But I just let him go."
"We expected to win," Stinespring said. "We didn't. It crushed us all."
Now the challenge is bouncing back against a Florida State team that's ranked No. 1 in the ACC in every major statistical category on defense.
Thomas has still done plenty of good this year. He's thrown for 2,109 yards and 13 touchdowns, adding 422 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Nobody on offense has made as big of an impact as him. But he hasn't quite been as sharp as last year, completing 53.3 percent of his passes, down from 59.8 last year. His 12 interceptions were tied for the third-most nationally entering Saturday.
O'Cain is mildly concerned about the interceptions, but not as much as he thinks he could be.
"The thing that worries me more was if he was forcing the ball," he said. "If that was the reason he was throwing interceptions, I would be overly-concerned. … But I don't think he's had an interception this year where he's forced the ball. It's been a high ball, it's been a low ball or whatever it may be. … So I'm concerned, but not overly-concerned.
"It's just a matter of going out there and playing and just throwing the ball like it's practice. I know it's more pressure on you, more heat on you and all that, but try to throw it like it's practice."
Thomas is simply trying to move forward. Teammates have told him they have his back, even in tough times. That's what he considers important.
"You can't do anything about the past," Thomas said. "You can only focus on the future. People can say what they want, but they're not inside the program. That's OK with us. Coach O'Cain and coach Stiney, they always say we're the three most talked about people around town. That's fine. It's cool with me. People can say what they want. But I'm not going to listen to it. [O'Cain and Stinespring] aren't going to listen to it. Everything is within this program."
Teammates think he'll bounce back.
"I think if you look at, for instance, Michael Jordan's career, and everybody talks about the big plays he made, but they never bring up the ones he didn't make," said tight end Zack McCray, who is Thomas' cousin. "Sometimes you don't make that big play or sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you want it to. But I just feel when you fall down, it just makes for a better comeback. I just think it's a lesson to learn at the end of the day."
Follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
Here are a few more notes and quotes from Saturday night's offensive interviews …
- That last quote is correct. McCray is a tight end now. The redshirt sophomore from Brookville, the same high school as Thomas, made the switch today. The move has been discussed before. McCray, who has been buried on the depth chart at defensive line — a little too small to be a true tackle, a little too slow to be a true end — initiated it. "I think this move is going to be great," he said. "It has me motivated to go out there and be better at something. I'm really, really passionate about this to go out here and just work and make the team better in some way."
- Stinespring noted that Tech is losing three senior tight ends after this year — Eric Martin, Randall Dunn and George George. The move gives the Hokies some depth at the position, with Ryan Malleck, Darius Redman, Dakota Jackson and Duan Perez-Means, another converted defensive lineman, playing there. "We like being able to play two [tight ends] if we can, and with us losing three, again, knowing Zack in high school and recruiting Zack, I think he brings something to the table for us," Stinespring said. "We felt like in the spring we would do it. So right now, why not get a jump start on it?"
- McCray said he's actually played tight end longer than he has defensive line, going back to his middle school days. In fact, he was recruited as both by most schools. Tech was actually one of the only ones who recruited him on defense only. A large reason McCray chose that route was because Thomas, who was a year ahead of McCray in school, was also recruited as a tight end coming out of high school. After Thomas graduated, McCray, who was the No. 5 recruit in the state in 2010, continued to excel on defense, but also did more on offense as a senior, playing tight end, receiver and even some H-back. He caught 44 passes and had two touchdowns as a senior but was used mostly as a blocker. He described himself as a balanced tight end in that sense.
- The biggest challenge McCray thinks he'll have is learning the playbook. He's realistic about not being able to digest it in the final three weeks of the season. "If the next three weeks works out, it's good," he said. "And if it doesn't, my feelings aren't going to be hurt by it." Physically, he thinks the transition should be no problem. At 6-foot-5, 256 pounds, he was always on the lighter side for a defensive lineman, continually trying to keep on weight. On offense, he's about the same size as Martin, one of Tech's bulkier tight ends. "I think defensive end, I think that's going to help the physicality of stuff," McCray said.
- Thomas had a career-high 22 carries against Miami, one more than he had against Clemson. He also took some shots, getting up slowly after one run near the goal line. "That's why we lift," he said. "That's why we condition as much as we do. So I feel fine physically. Obviously, you have your bumps and bruises that you need to heal up, but I feel good."
- Coaches have mentioned failed execution as being the biggest reason for the offense's — and really the team's — struggles this season. But they're having a tough time putting their finger on why that's the case. "You can't," O'Cain said. "If you did, you'd get it corrected right now and it'd be over. Sometimes the ball bounces right and sometimes it doesn't. And if you start saying, well it's this or this or this or this, then it sounds like you're making excuses."
- Stinespring pointed out some possible reasons, though. "There's time when you've had to revamp your line a little bit," he said. "We haven't communicated some things as well as we did earlier in the year. Some of it has to do with perhaps a little bit of youth at times. … There's a lot of little things that add up that have prevented us from having consistency and the success that we believe we should be having. We've been productive. It just hasn't been consistent."
- That's not the best thing to have happening with Florida State coming to town Thursday. As mentioned before, the Seminoles lead the ACC in every major statistical category on defense — rushing (72.9 ypg, 3rd nationally), passing (154.2 ypg, 6th nationally), total (227.1 ypg, 2nd nationally) and scoring (12.0 ppg, 3rd nationally). "[They have] very few weaknesses," Stinespring said. "I haven't found any."
- How do the Hokies go about attacking the kind of defense that's solid across the board? "You really have to focus yourself on what you're doing and how well you're doing it," Stinespring said. "If we have a lack of execution and you're having those problems, then you're really putting yourself behind the 8 ball. We've just got to really make sure, whatever is in the game plan, we're going to be as precise in what we're doing and as coordinated in our attack as we can possibly be. You need to play as close to perfect as you can possibly play to give yourself a chance for success."

A journey to the labs of the world!
ONE WORLD ONE LAB is a documentary movie series about lab scientists and their culture.
I'm biologist myself and I'm focusing on the lifes of scientists of countries, which are not too much in the focus of our scientific community.
My movies are windows into the research worlds that most of cannot even imagine. It's NOT about complex research data, it's about opinions and facts, about fascination and fears, about chances and problems, all mixed with culture, food, religion and fun things.
In the end, it's all about bringing the scientific world a little bit closer together.
And hey, you'll be surprised how you see your own life and your research problems, once you put it in perspective.
I'm travelling from January 2013 – February 2014.
Follow my trip, ask, comment and tell your friends!

WHY am I so persistent? I'm gender neutral (I have 5 sons-2 step), but I believe the Nov. 24 NYT Sunday Dialogue expresses my fears succinctly. First letter notes- "The United States does not even appear in top 20 countries ranked for gender equality in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap report for 2013." Also, haven't we all read how we keep slipping further down the ranking list re education, health care relative to quality and cost, and even horrendous things such as sex trafficking? Several years ago NYT reported about 60,000 are trafficked annually through Atlanta. We've long been ranked poorly for excessive suing- also costs and awards plus excessive incarcerations- both in number and duration. We top the list for excessive compensation. ETC! WHY?
I believe our decrease in rankings is failure to interrelate- failure to connect the dots, AND failure to participate enough in democracy. Anything not checked gradually compounds. Anything which compounds, slowly builds a base like a coiled spring, then starts abruptly rising, soon to skyrocket out of control. Hasn't unchecked capitalism led to excess profit seeking affecting business, health care (including drug prices), excess compensation, excess cost of higher education (some college presidents make over a million, sports & other facilities are over-the-top, etc), all a sense of entitlement including ease of suing, hence fear of it and way too many defensive practices (often subtle) built into everything (including divorce issues in court for years)? Aren't ALL contracts legal documents? NYT reported a CEO paid $400,000 to a lawyer for his contract to guarantee $12M severance pay even if he was fired!
Consider the Brooklyn, NY Taub case which I keep reporting about because in my opinion it is an example of about every kind of legal abuse you could imagine. I want YOU to zero in on how dysfunctional our legal SYSTEM has become. The case began June 2005. In its 8 ½ yrs (ongoing, so huge taxpayer expense and loss of court availability, loss to creditors, ETC., to say nothing of lots of abuse testimony, millions in legal fees) it includes divorce, multiple foreclosures, bankruptcy, mail fraud, money laundering (documents re illegal property transfers and lots unpaid taxes and forged signatures, ETC) , scads of ignoring of judicial orders ignored by the system as well, including higher level judges and politicians and the FBI and media (who twisted data presented), a mere 3 months probation for extortion- wiretapped evidence of husband receiving 1st $75,000 of 2-300,00 to keep quiet about sex abuse of son (whom he stole custody of and judges ignored), ETC! A Global Settlement was signed by both sides last April, to be finalized in ~45days. I guess somebody can't read the calendar! Update- Nov. 21 a new document reduces settlement by $100,000 in "side deal with Simon"-(THAT is illegal Ex Parte- both parties MUST be present). BUT at bottom it says-"Statement of Confidentiality" and notes the material may only be read by "intended recipient"(wife- Chana Taub) and "any distribution (to anyone) is prohibited." WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO YOU?? IT SAYS TO ME THAT EVEN IF THE LAW IS BEING VIOLATED, VICTIMS CAN'T TELL ANYONE, AND IF THEY DO, THAT SOURCE (IN THIS CASE ME) CAN'T TELL ANYONE- EXCEPT PERHAPS A LAWYER OR JUDGE- BUT THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN TOLD ABOUT ABUSE AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE! Also, wife was asked (and this OFTEN happens in lots of different legal cases) to sign away her right to ever sue her husband for anything (except to enforce maintenance, but courts have already ignored that vast majority of the time), and see above- that includes any past illegal acts!
Don't such restrictions violate civil rights, freedom of speech, intent of Constitution in general?
In my local theater I just watched a documentary I hope many see- Inequality For All, by Robert Reich (former advisor to presidents and Secretary of Labor, author, professor at Berkeley). He says "widening inequality in income, wealth, and opportunity is rapidly getting out of control...It's systemic- it has to do with how we've organized society....The economy can't function when the vast middle class doesn't have the purchasing power to keep the economy going....We elect people we assume will make fundamental changes, and then go home and do what we were doing before without realizing that an election is just the beginning of the challenge. They need all our help and support to succeed." I agree but it must also include insisting that our media properly inform the public, including the need to establish constructive, compassionate enforceable checks and balances on our legal system, as well as fostering a fairer and more balanced society – partly by requiring enhancing ability to learn in schools via programs such as what NYT just reported about K-12 programs to teach emotional intelligence.
In a new book, "Informing the News," by Thomas Patterson (Harvard professor of politics and public policy), he says "Sensationalism is the hallmark of soft news, and controversy increasingly defines hard news. Unless something feels like a crisis, most journalists can't be bothered with it....Few attributes in a news story are more highly prized by a journalist than novelty.... need to attract an audience....errors go uncorrected....power rather than truthfulness is the operative word....too often profit and convenience are placed ahead of duty to inform....during the health care debate, flash points like the "death panel" dominated, so cost containment escaped public attention....Journalists are vulnerable to manipulation by their sources... NYT Op-Ed writer, Maureen Dowd- 'never before has so much information been available to us (noting web), yet never have we had greater need for information grounded in facts rather than spin and speculation.'....Patterson quotes Yale Law School's Bruce Ackerman- "Journalists will falter and ultimately fail if their set of 'facts' is seen by the public as little better than those offered up by talk show hosts....." Patterson calls for an overhaul of journalism practice and education (need more scientific method, etc) since our democracy depends on accurate information. He quotes others who predict disaster for our democracy if facts are denied the public.
Let's "connect more dots" re our children. Kent Keith (Harvard, Oxford, famed author of "Anyway,"- The Paradoxical Commandments, Finding Meaning in a Crazy World) -"There is nothing more important than what happens to the children. If there is no hope for our children, there is no hope at all. The future of the world depends on the kinds of people today's children turn out to be." Though repeatedly informed, consider that major media including NYT, Yale Divinity School (I hand-delivered a copy and other data asking they alone or with other divinity schools expose that our family courts need review, but got no response even though I went with a recommendation from YDS alum) and Congress (given copies fall 2012) have not publicized fact reported in multiple award-winning documentary, No Way Out But One (please google it), that in ~58,000 cases per year U.S. judges give custody or unsupervised visitation to an abusive parent. NWOBO is true story of mom/kids getting asylum in Netherlands FROM U.S. Mom had hospital evidence father hitting son caused brain damage. Another of our lousy rankings- media have finally been publishing we have highest incarceration rate, including kids, in the developed world and that Europe has highly successful rehabilitation rate instead. Isn't it common sense that abusive custody or high incarceration will promote cycling abuse hurting ALL society?
ALL the above point to fact that democracy only works when it is a team sport. PLEASE insist and discuss ideas with friends, family AND media and your representatives making democracy work better!
NYT letter to editor, A Call for Drastic Changes in Educating Lawyers, Ethan Bronner, Feb. 11, 2013
It was a relief to read that there is almost universal agreement that the current system is broken. A focus is needed to create more skill levels to reduce education expenses & taylor training & consumer cost for non-court matters. However, I am disappointed that no mention was made re need for more practical training re lots of specific issues, one key one being anything relating to family courts (including raising the prestige level), another being excessive hourly billing re anything likely to head to court, a third being addressing loophole issues (such as scads of delaying tactics), & a monumental fourth one being establishing enforceable checks & balances on unfair (or worse) behavior by any court actors, but especially judges.
A task force member noting "The house is on fire" is right on target! How about making an educational project in lawschool to address closing loopholes (students could choose specialties)?

PS-Commentary-other articles,(next blog entry 2 pg questionnaire on web re "YOU Be Judge- 10 questions about legal accountability, & disturbing facts." [Taub case-legal abuse grows- proposed settlement very convoluted, trying to hide fact it subtracts out all it 1st gives, awards abuse!!]
2/11/13- "Measure to Protect Women Stuck on Tribal Land Issue,"- the fact that the horrors of what has been happening have long been ignored is despicable & again makes us not much better than how India & many countries with third-world areas treat females. Note Mr. Udall said, "Native women should not be abandoned to a jurisdictional loophole." Choose any topic- you'll find a crying need to close legal loopholes!
2/6/13- "A Death Penalty Fight Comes Home to Maryland," - it notes that prosecutors & jurors ignored glaring problems with witnesses. WHY? HOW? Mr. Bloodstone only managed to win his release after 9 years in the state's most decrepid & violent prison. How about those who don't possess such willpower or intelligence or get lucky enough to snag some lawyer's interest? Then he was merely awarded $300,000 in compensation, yet the legal system awards plaintiffs millions for lesser suffering! What about victims in civil court, especially the excruciating pain for protective parents when custody is awarded to abusers, even in the face of documented evidence (& many of course can't produce that, but the testimony is usually searing when it is the truth- credible studies put lying about this very low- I think less than 5%). How about those impoverished by the system? What about the intangible costs to society from cycling abuse?
2/5/13- "In 2 Trailers, The Neighbors Nobody Wants,"- hmmmm.......society doesn't want released sexual predators near where they live, but how about fact the media keeps ignoring that for thousands (The award-winning documentary, NoWayOutButOne, notes ~58,000 cases per yr reported where child is awarded into custody of an abuser) the abuser is in the house?
2/11/13- "The Ignorance Caucus," Paul Krugman- his sarcasm is excellent noting Mr. Cantor calling for an end to federal funding of social science research is "Because it's surely a waste of money seeking to understand the society we're trying to change." And Mr. Krugman also correctly directs his anger at the NRA bullying fed. agencies into ceasing nearly all research about firearms & violence. How about another research project for law students & professors as well- how can we establish laws & regulations that prevent minority views blocking the majority, esp. when it is over 60%?
2/12/13- "Carpe Diem Nation," David Brooks- "we forget- most our ancestors were immigrants who left everything to establish a new life, working hard for better future for their kids... We've become so greedy we sacrifice our kids' future!" How about legal research: curbing right to sue, insisting on reasonable awards &malpractice premiums, fair treatment non-whites long abused?
YOU BE the JUDGE- answer questions
about Legal Accountability, Feb. 2013, S.Titus Glascoff
1) purpose of court- where justice is administered,
2) justice- happens when result is based on legal or moral principles,
3) job description- Judges
must ensure all proceedings are fair, protect rights of all
4) Judicial Complaint Commission-to protect public(can file complaint), promote confidence in integrity, independence, & impartiality of judiciary, including encouraging high standards,
5) abuse of judicial discretion- violation of due process(gov't.fairness), reason, facts of case,
6) contempt of court- willfully disobeying court orders & regulations; judges are not required to enforce own orders; victims can file contempt motion -judges may dismiss it, order fines or jail,
7) extortion- undue exercise of power (ex.- bribery) to get money from people,
8) fraud- deceit to gain advantage, especially (not necessarily) if financial responsibility,
9) obstruction of justice & money laundering overlap-ex: interfering by actions or words with court actions, tax evasion, illegal property transfers, using courts as weapon of retaliation, etc,
10) RICO (Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act), Congress- guilty- individual or Mob-violated at least 2 federal & 8 state statutes showing pattern, enterprise/conspiracy.
1. Can the purpose of courts be met if : a) loopholes & other delaying tactics deny timely access? b) Medical services are denied since malpractice premiums high(awards too high, easy to sue)?
2. Is justice denied if opposing side has more money to drag case on longer than you can afford?
3. Have judges fulfilled their job description if they rule for one side versus opposing facts given?
PLEASE forward this widely- friends, politicians, media. Cost of suits + defensive practices are built into everything, & abusive practices are well known to have high recycling rates- a costly spiral!!
Don't judges, etc need checks/balances just like us?Our Kids 'Kant' Wait So Neither Can We!
Quotes from 3 lawyers, 2 male, from case- #10- partly described - a) "Court must enforce orders to maintain respect for the judicial system & prevent breakdown & respect for laws. Not enforcing orders causes lots more legal fees & contributes to anarchy. Find this man in contempt & fine or jail him." b) Lawyer is former nun & U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee- "Failure to stop abuse in this case is a challenge & affront to the credibility of your honor (female). You have authority to stop fraud here. U.S. Bankruptcy Court is not a playground for foul & offensive practices." c) "I've worked in matrimonial court 14yrs, 100s of cases, some high profile. Hold this man in contempt since he often misrepresented facts." The case is in Brooklyn, N.Y. NYTimes Feb. 8, 2013 - "Prosecutor's Appeal for 7th Term: 'We're Not Done' " - agree,Dist.Atty.Hynes has made some good progress recently. Many know he's long had to battle Mob influence, ETC., but too many victims continue to suffer, including children. If he & feds "stepped up to the plate" in above case, which will make prominent news, don't you think he could then retire setting a good example that could act as catalyst to force national discussion that abuse in our courts must stop?
C) An article recently stated that our legal system has increasingly become far more about profit than justice. A google legal abuse site reported that divorce issues have become the biggest money maker for the non-criminal (civil) legal system. Wouldn't helping stressed families help society? Regardless of the topic, is stressing loopholes & who can afford the most aggressive lawyer, etc, etc. healthy for our society? 1-2 decades ago it was reported that we litigated 10 TIMES more per person than England. Read book, The Death of Common Sense, by lawyer, Philip. K. Howard..
D) In 2008 a retired judge (agrees system broken) prepared a "guestimate" for me that in the NYCity area it cost about $4500 to operate one courtroom for one day. THAT is taxpayer expense! Some areas have been cutting hours courts are open, etc, etc. to balance budgets. That only increases backlogs. How about cutting loopholes?! Also, doesn't failure to sanction unfair judges tarnish many good ones?!
Abuse Freedom United, Radio Interview, Nov. 6, 2011, 7-9 PM, by Jane Boyer of Susan T. Glascoff
(STG- Masters- Health Advocacy & Math, Member Who's Whos in America & 5 other WWs due to 40+ yrs public advocacy of many topics, former school board member & math teacher, ongoing ~10yrs-Exec. Director Advisory Bd. to Nat'l Coalition for Family Justice- gender-neutral 501C3 since 1988 helping divorcing people experiencing problems with courts; 3 sons, 2 stepsons, 5 grandchildren, website- www.advocateforlegalaccountability.com)
THEME- Lack of legal accountability, no matter the topic, is strangling the U.S. Reported ~ 2 yrs ago-
Illinois newspaper- "We import lawsuits, export jobs," FL Sentinel- "1/10 of our small businesses go out of business due to legal excess," Atty. Philip Howard in book, "Death of Common Sense," ~30% of health care costs go to legal system," legal abuse web site- greatest % of civil cases concern divorce.
PRIME ISSUE- Justice system has turned upside down- It's too often Who Can Win, NOT What's Just.
TONIGHT'S FOCUS- How it affects families, esp. our children, hence our future in ALL regards!
Consider Kent Keith's (lawyer, PhD, Harvard, Oxford, etc.)book, "Anyway" pg 114- "If there is hope for our children, there is every hope. If there is no hope for our children, there is no hope at all. The future of the world depends on the kinds of people today's children turn out to be."
KEY "TERMS"- power & control, judicial discretion/immunity, loopholes, media, rules of evidence & legalese, overwhelming, common sense, checks/balances, transparency, big cost, hrly billing, plea brgn, guardians ad litem, impoverishment, fraud, interconnected, Occupy Wall St., outrageous compensation, power of compounding, denial, Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde, cycling abuse,PTSD, cliches, credibility, substance abuse, FBI,etc, invitation to creative compassionate, constructive dialogue incld. contests & incentives.
Since everything is interconnected, isn't Occupy Wall Street the OVERWHELMING result of public belief that multiple aspects of how our government is operating have been compounding towards dysfunction? Isn't legal system one branch of government? Don't all know it's too easy to sue, & legal bills can impoverish or even bankrupt you? Conferences, books, & many media have been presenting for decades that we need legal reform, yet it never seems to be a theme of national dialogue, even now with OWS? WHY NOT?? It was just reported that Mr. Corzine, former head of Goldman Sachs, paid a lawyer $400,000 to insure severance pay for his next job would be $12.1M.
ALL contracts are legal documents, including compensation, but also including marriages & divorces. All know that children of divorce have more problems concentrating in school, have higher rates of turning to substance abuse, & generally tend towards more behavior that either hurts themselves &/or society including often as adults. There's tons of evidence that abusive behaviors cycle (judges & guardians need FAR more training re that). SO WHY are we ignoring that divorce has become a huge industry here versus trying to do everything we can to lessen the rate (There are some wonderful school programs on challenges of good partnering & parenting- so why isn't some form REQUIRED? An excellent book by Ruth Tod- "Positive Parenting for a Peaceful World," should be read by all. Atty. Lynn-Gold-Bikin's "Partners" HS program that uses charades for dialogue, & similar programs are too scantily used.) or DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to help insure the best results possible when divorce is inevitable?
What often happens in divorce/family courts instead? Many cases drag on for years, impoverishing either entire family or one spouse relative to other. Custody has become a huge battle where kids are treated like commodities & hidden issue is often not custody but child support. Consider the Brooklyn, NY notorious Taub case ongoing 6 ½ yrs. Mother bankrupt though father was noteded by court to be worth at least $43M. Home & 3 small rental properties deeded to her are in foreclosure due to courts not enforcing OWN orders- maintenance, child support, paying marital mortgage, not interferring with rent collection, questionably dismissing RICO vs husband. Foreclosures & bankruptcies cost everyone, as does operation of courts (Retired judge prepared guestimate for me -it costs ~ $4500/day to operate 1 courtroom in NYC area. Many states are cutting legal budgets, but NOT cutting legal manipulation, so things are getting worse). Mr. Taub- got suspended sentence re extortion re covering up sex abuse of then-14yr old son whom he stole custody of, mother has't seen since; all courts ignored + tax evasion, etc. Oldest daughter by 1st marriage (testified re years abuse by stepfather) is fighting judge giving persmission for her estranged husband to get kids' passports without LAW'S required signing by both parents; judge ignored father owes ~$194,000 child support ~8yrs for 5 kids & had criminal order for supervised visitation for sexually touching 10 yr old daughter. In court hall 10/31 Mr. Taub asked "How can wife win last 5 appeals -lost 42; judges/lawyers like $. I can drag this 5 more yrs?" STG there.
There have been judicial conferences, etc, drawing up legal reform guidelines; little changes because judges continue to have near total immunity & discretion. How about some common sense? Consider -legal definition of fraud -"deliberate intention to deceive if have a fiduciary responsibility." Don't most court cases involve fiduciary responsibility? If records etc. are withheld (in Taub case no judge fully enforced Discovery in 6+ yrs), as in scads of cases, that IS fraud! Hence, courts are promoting fraud & IT MUST STOP! FBI interviewed me 3x!??? Last wk 23 yr old daughter released tape of father, Family Court Judge Adams of TX, beating her with leather belt; both she & her mother reported yrs of abuse. Shouldn't that result in immediate expulsion from the bench? Common sense anybody?? Justice?? The award-winning documentary NoWayOutButOne.com has just been released where mother & kids got asylum in Netherlands FROM U.S. due to abusive courts. Shame on us!! The 9th annual Battered Mothers' Custody conference (national, held in Albany, NY & attended by many men who are outraged by this as well) gets no major media coverage- why not? Pres. Obama created a post on violence against women (to which I report) but little has visibly changed. 1996-2006 study, all federal judges, 843 in 29 states & thousands complaints- NONE got sanctioned- doesn't such tarnish good judges or impair their efforts? Doesn't absolute power tend to corrupt absolutely? Is ANY group good at policing itself? IN 2005 I prepared huge Big Picture Legal Reform Report (well-documented) I sent to over 200, including 23 senators, media, etc. & in 2002 sent 200 petitions to at least one major newspaper per state, ETC. I requested legal reform be topic for presidential debates in 2004 & 2008. I'm trying to get it as topic for 2012 -will YOU HELP spread word? I ALWAYS request only compassionate, constructive solutions & suggest state & local contests & incentives. Years ago it was reported we litigated 10x more per person than England. Excessive, abusive litigation & fear of it is strangling the U.S. Can we survive this way?
1821- Thomas Jefferson, "The germ of destruction of our nation is in power of the judiciary." Reason given was lack of checks & balances. He soon said- "The only remedy is to inform the public discretion." I believe the germ is a cancer about to metastasize via the power of compounding & fact that everything is interrelated. Helen Keller- "None are so blind as those who will not see." Edmund Burke- "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing." Margaret Mead- "Never doubt a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Pascal- "Justice without force is powerless, force without justice is tyrannical." Samuel Johnson- "Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome." Sylvester Stallone- "I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing & pursuing, will bring results." Latter has surely been my motto, but I think time has run out because the power of compounding of interrelated issues is about to skyrocket out of control if we the people don't LOUDLY INSIST NO MORE NONSENSE NOW!!!! Retired Chief NY State Judge Judith Kaye said something like-"Courts lose effectiveness when they lose public respect." I ask, "How can we promote
democracy or survive if our legal system is a sham?" Our Kids 'Kant' Wait So Neither Can We!!
PS- Since interview Appellate Court denied mother's appeal to stop judge from ignoring law that states for minors to get passports, both parents must sign! Does the U.S. really want to allow international abduction? Etc!
Note NYC is listed as the 6th Judicial Hellhole by the American Tort Reform Association. Can we ignore judicial hellholes?
NYPost- comment re 4/28 "Judge kicks 'War of Roses' couple out of house," answered 4/29/11
below- documented, rest my opinion, but none lightly given) (Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want copy of outrageous Memorandum decision by Judge D'EDmic)
LIE- husband has NOT lived on other side of ridiculous wall 1st Judge Sarah Krauss (later recused for bias) ordered installed 2005, so only kicking out wife. Husband visits, has other(s) live there to illegally (vs one of many ignored court orders) control utilities (turn heat way down, etc), make late loud noises, etc., AS COURT HAS BEEN INFORMED! HOW ABOUT- "ALL SOCIETY LOSES WHEN COURTS DON'T OPERATE FAIRLY, NO MATTER THE TOPIC?"
Consider that Judge D'Emic, & all judges, ignored that maintenance was rarely paid to wife for 6yrs, orders for husband to pay home mortgage were never enforced, etc. causing wife's bankruptcy last 3 yrs. Letter FROM IRS to wife's lawyer July 2009 said husband's last tax returns was 2004. (Could YOU get away with that?) Husband had 3 federal fraud convictions in 1998, was in bankruptcy 1998-2001. He declared $77,000 in 2002 (Judge D'Emic reports $650,000 by 2006, ~$1 Million now, but neither reflects even just all rents he collects, as all judges have been informed). Yet Judge D'Emic reports he immediately got loans to build apartments (over 40 luxury, illegally in commercial zone, AND versus Judge Carolyn Demarest -later recused for bias- orders transferred that property to daughter- March 2007). COULD YOU GET LOANS UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES? Simon Taub stole custody of 14 year old son, mother hasn't seen him since. Mr. Taub has currently had his extortion hearing postponed 3x re keeping quiet re sexual abuse of that son. He still hasn't provided courts with his bank statements (more ignored orders- part of Discovery), yet has been acknowledged by judges to be wealthy (bankruptcy Judge Stong estimated he's worth $40+ million). Judge D'Emic ordered only wife's small properties sold, proceeds halved (little value will be left- all in foreclosure) while he pays wife far less than reasonable value for his properties he gets to keep. Also, from wife's share, he gets to deduct some of legal fees (wives usually get legal fees when husband is sole breadwinner; also get to stay in marital home). All wife's lawyers have soft-pedaled case, withdrawn, succumbed to "intimidation," etc. Judge D'Emic "ignored" that legal fees equal millions, most incurred by Simon (Caused many delays, etc.). Chana owes at least several hundred thousand!
Monthly maintenance Judge D'Emic ordered- sad joke since maintenance has never been enforced (Future enforcement likely to take court time for years, continuing to cost public, denying access, etc.), & is surely less than should come from multimillionaire! Part of reason first divorce action was denied is because Judge Carolyn Demarest wouldn't allow testimony of NOTED expert domestic violence witness re his 7 hrs interviewing wife, determining she exhibits all parameters of an abused wife! Wife's credibility has been frequently questioned. Isn't that backwards? ETC!! Another judge dismissed RICO (fed. racketeering) filed pro se. Consider that Simon has only one mailbox for illegal apts, has often been in tax arrears, ETC! Hmm...
Chana Taub is going to appeal (more court time; she has no choice AGAIN). Let's cheer for her AND START EXTENSIVE PUBLIC DIALOGUE RE ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE CHECKS & BALANCES ON OUR LEGAL SYSTEM! Excessive legal costs hurt business, health care, families, individuals, & fuel state & federal deficits! Judicial hellholes (official term) exist across U.S. Unfair judges & lawyers hinder good ones! A study -1996-2006 reported of ~ 840 federal judges in 29 states, thousands of complaints, NONE got sanctioned. Do YOU think that makes sense??
At request of president of National Coalition for Family Justice I've attended this case since Feb. 5, 2007 since court abuse was suspected. Investigative sources have done little. I am in Who's Who in America, etc. due to 40+ yrs of public advocacy. I have no self interest, but am worried about future of our country. Can we lead this way? "OUR KIDS KANT WAIT SO NEITHER CAN WE!")
I hope the connection re Supreme Court case below will be made to money, since one of issues is often not only wanting to punish the mother, etc., etc., but also because the father doesn't want to pay child support. I know organizers all know this, but I think that item ought to be mentioned in all press releases as I'm sure it doesn't really occur to some (most?)) of the public, legislators, etc. and may even not be totally realized by some of the judges. The whole thing is of course about power & control, and our entire legal system, no matter the topic, has too often become about who can win, not justice. I believe stressing this bigger picture will help get legislators & the public more involved. We need to establish checks & balances on our legal system re evidence gathering ( many "anecdotes' all pointing in the same direction should constitute evidence), re delaying tactics of multiple sorts, etc.
An article in NYT 4/27/11, "Who Protects the Animals," said, "The problem is the system that enables cruelty and a lack of not just law enforcement but actual laws." Monica Getz & others have long also stressed that far more needs to be done re judge, guardian, etc. training re DV, most esp. re charlatan aspect of most abusers and how well they present in court (which I know has been stressed at conferences, etc., but I hope will be strongly emphasized again now, and I believe reference to that also needs to be in all media presentations), discussion of bi-polar disorder, etc. Since PR re the conferences, etc. must be short, consider just including a topic list of issues so it at least starts getting others thinking and feeling involved. This is NOT female vs male (In fact many female judges have been found to be more abusive to mothers than male judges- ex. Brooklyn, NY Judge Robin Sheares was recently removed from Family Court to Criminal Court because of years of complaints, final one being that she jailed a mom for refusing to send 10yr old son from NY to AZ to visit father jailed for several rapes), but rather a pro human plea.
PRESS CONFERENCE May 6th, 2011 at 12 Noon
US Supreme Court, One First Street, NE ,Washington, DC Sidewalk in front of the US Supreme Court
Child Advocates and Legal Scholars are anxiously awaiting the filing of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari on May 6, 2011 at 12 noon at the US Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. in the Sacks v. Sacks case.
This truly will be an Historic Day at the US Supreme Court, for America's children and their "Protective Parents", as this landmark case is being hand delivered by a Florida Mother and exposes a national crisis all over the US.
The Sacks v. Sacks case is the perfect opportunity for the US Supreme Court to thoroughly explore and address the issue of Battered Mothers and child abuse, and their documented evidence of "protective parents" losing custody and the failure of family courts and Child Protective Services to thoroughly investigate and handle Domestic Violence, child sexual/and or child physical abuse cases properly, therefore resulting in a verdict, contrary to the "bests interests of the child(ren)".
Kathleen Russell, from the Center for Judicial Excellence, in the California Progress Report, on 10/19/09 "When Family Courts Get It Wrong", says "When a parent harms his or her own child, family courts are supposed to step in and safeguard the victim. Can you imagine what a tragedy it would be if courts awarded custody to the wrong parent Actually according to one conservative estimate, more than 58, 000 children a year are court ordered by family courts into unsupervised visitation contact with physically or sexually abusive parents following a divorce in the U.S. The fact that this type of scandal is taking place in the American justice system defies the imagination. Not since the Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandal has the US seen this type of institutional harm inflicted on innocent children." (www.centerforjudicalexcelllence.org)
The National Organization for Women, NOW and the NOW Ad Hoc Law Committee are addressing this issue and in their Spring 2011, "and explore what can happen to a protective mother and her children when she does nothing more than to protect her children", as quoted on page 36 of the Petition for Certiorari.
The Petitioner, in the US Supreme Court case, Linda Marie Sacks, has been chosen as the "Poster Mother" of the Family Court Crisis, is interviewed for the article.(www.now.org) Click on the Family Law Spring Newsletter.
On April 21, 2011, in the BMCCVI Digest Number 2011, reports that Eileen King representing Justice for Children participated in the Office of Violence Against Women Roundtable Discussion that took place at George Washington University Law School. The Roundtable was organized by Rita Smith, the Director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Prof. Joan Meier, Director of the Domestic Violence Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project (DVLEAP) at GWU Law School. OVW will post a report about the Roundtable on their website in the near future. (www.justiceforchildren.org) and (www.dvleap.org)
As noted by Barry Goldstein, Esq. The Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) is part of the US Justice Department that provides grants for programs to reduce and prevent domestic violence. They recently sponsored a forum for their staff and other professionals in various parts of the government to learn about the crisis in the custody court system.
"It was a discussion based upon current scientific research and actual experiences that courts are routinely making catastrophic mistakes in failing to protect children and domestic violence survivors.
Linda Marie Sacks, a Florida Mother, truly the "All American Mom", has only seen her children at the Family Tree House Visitation Center for 82 hours in the last 4 years and 2 months, is challenging the "Best Interests of The Children" Statute 61.13, as Domestic Violence, child sexual and physical abuse must be considered in a judge's decision determining the "Best Interests of the Children". In the Pro se Cert Petition, Sacks raises the constitutional implications of a fit parent to the care, custody, of her children, and without a finding of unfitness by clear and convincing evidence, established by the US Supreme Court ruling in Santosky v. Kramer, U.S. 745, 769-770 (1982).
Her daughters said in April 2007, "Mommy fight for us and do something every day to get us back and don't ever stop". Their Mother not only kept her promise to them, but now is a national spokesperson on the child custody crisis, and is speaking up for her children, and all of America's children affected by the failure of our justice system to protect our most innocent children from sexual and physical abuse. She is a formidable legal opponent, as she has been self taught, going to "Internet Law School" to continue her legal challenge after spending $140,000 to undo an unjust custody decision. The Fifth District Court of Appeals REVERSED and REMANDED the issue of child custody back to the lower court for a violation of the Petitioners constitutional rights to due process, in 08/08. This rare reversal provided no relief as the lower court of Judge Shawn L. Briese refused to abide by the Appeals court and refused to protect the children and said one child lied about being sexually abused.
In an article by John Weiss, from Post-Bulletin, Rochester, MN , "Do children lie about sexual abuse? Not Usually." Children do lie, but seldom about being abused. "All human beings can and do lie, but it's hard for kids to do it about sex", said Victor Vieth, the director of the national Child Protection Training Center at Winona State University. "They can't lie about something they have no knowledge of" he said, and children don't learn about oral sex from Sesame Street.
Dr. Deborah Day of Psychological Affiliates, the court ordered custody evaluator said the minor child at 8 years old had pediatric bipolar and that negates any child sexual abuse, and then thwarted the DCF investigation. The court record clearly showed that the child DID NOT have bipolar, but the trial court still refused to protect the children, which is typical from cases all over the US.
One day justice will prevail for America's children. Could it be in the Sacks v. Sacks case?
Nat'l Advocacy groups & Mothers -attending events to shed light on crisis in Amer. Courts.
Mothers Day, May 8th, 2011 in Washington DC will also have the Mothers of Lost Children from 6-9:30 PM at the White House.
Information will be available on Sunday night about activities on Monday.

-against- ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
SIMON TAUB, Oral argument is requested
Upon reading and filing the annexed affirmation of Chana Taub, affirmed the 26th day of September, 2008, upon the annexed affirmation of Chana Taub's attorney, Neil Iovino, Esq., affirmed the 26th day of September, 2008, upon the annexed exhibits, and upon all of the pleadings and proceedings heretofore had herein,
Let Simon Taub, or his attorney, show cause before this Court at Part 5 J of the Supreme Court at
Page 1 (from total of 45,+ 2,16,17,23,24,33,34,38,40,45), then pg 1, 2 from 48 more
PAGE 2 day of October, 2008, at
1. Recusing the presiding justice in connection with the above captioned case; and
2. For such other and further relief as to the Court may seem just and appropriate.
SUFFICIENT CAUSE APPEARING THEREFOR, it is
ORDERED, that pending the hearing and determination of this Order to
Show Cause, this court shall not issue any further decisions, orders, or directives; and it is further
ORDERED, that service of a copy of this Order to Show Cause and
the papers upon which it is based upon Simon Taub's attorneys, Mallow, Konstam & Hager, P.C., at 321 Broadway, New York, New York 10007, by overnight delivery, on or before the ______ day of _______________, 2008, shall be deemed good and sufficient service; and it is further
ORDERED, that opposition papers, if any, shall be served upon Chana Taub's attorney and filed with the Court, so as to be received in hand by both the Court and Chana Taub's counsel no later than
PAGE 16 it has been shown (again) that the court has been operating under a mistaken belief?
39. If this court is not biased and prejudiced against me, I would invite this court to search the record to find one criticism of Mr. Taub and his financial misconduct and violation of court orders.
40. This court has criticized and demeaned me for being on the "14th or 15th lawyer". See Exhibit 1, page 28 lines 19 to 21. While this is false and not even close, Mr. Taub has had more attorneys than me in all these legal proceedings. In addition, Mr. Taub has been coming to almost each court appearance accompanied by two attorneys who are both partners of the same law firm. Yet, where is the court's criticism of Mr. Taub? What is the source of payment of Mr. Taub's legal fees on the one hand, yet inability to pay even $350.00 per week as court ordered on the other hand?
41. There have never been any issues of fact that this is a long term marriage, that I have never worked during the marriage, that Mr. Taub did not want me to work during the marriage, that he wanted me to raise our children and maintain a Jewish home, that I do not have a college degree, and that Mr. Taub earns well over $250,000.00 per year. Yet, and this court granted me only $350.00 per week maintenance for my support on the one hand, yet directed me to contribute $2,000.00 on a $5,000.00 mortgage. In effect, the court ordered me to do something that was impossible for me to do. However, the court does state in response to comments by Mr. Taub's attorney and my not contributing
PAGE 17 $2,000.00 per month that the court could put me in jail. (See Exhibit 1 page 42, lines 11 to 13.)
42. How can there not be prejudice and bias, or the appearance of prejudice and bias, when a court orders a person to pay $2,000.00 per month toward a mortgage, yet receive only $1,400.00 per month in interim maintenance? As will be detailed below, this court acknowledged it did not know how I was going to get the money to make up the shortfall.
43. With only Mr. Taub collecting rent on his properties and my properties, yet only the properties in my name are in foreclosure, but none of Mr. Taub's properties are in foreclosure, how can the court say there is no bias or prejudice when I am not enabled by the court to receive the rents and pay the expenses on the properties I own? The court never questions Mr. Taub about how he is able to keep his properties out of foreclosure but not the marital residence, for example, which is just in my name. (See Exhibit 1, page 54, lines 1 to 7; page 55, line 7 to page 56 line 5.)
44. The court ordered Mr. Taub to pay all of the monthly mortgage charges on the marital residence. (See Exhibit 1 page 57, lines 16 to 17. See also Exhibit 11—Order dated
45. I then brought a contempt proceeding because Mr. Taub was not paying the mortgage on the marital residence or the $350.00 per week interim maintenance. Rather than dealing with Mr. Taub's violations of a court order, the court stated "I am not concerned about contempt. I am concerned about going forward." (See Exhibit 1, page 33 line 25, to page 34, line 2.)
PAGE 23 59. On the one hand, the court does not look at my exhibits and records that prove the points I make and, on the other hand, accepts Mr. Taub's mere say so. For instance, on
60. If there is no bias or prejudice, how can Mr. Taub have "resources" for some purposes, yet not have "money" for other purposes?
61. Again, the court criticizes only me and states that "Mrs. Taub helped herself to an awful lot of money, which increased the amount of payments due on this [the marital residence]". See Exhibit 13, page 49, line 11 to page 50 line 8. The court has no interest in determining any financial fault on the part of Mr. Taub such as Mr. Taub's failure to pay only $350.00 per week for many months, his removal of even larger funds of money ($300,000.00 cash from a marital safe), and Mr. Taub's interim collecting of rents on his and my real estate properties while not paying the expenses on my properties, which has resulted in PAGE 24 my properties going into foreclosure, but his properties remaining viable money makers.
62. If there is no bias or prejudice, why has this court refused to appoint a receiver on all properties as opposed to allowing Mr. Taub to manage his and mismanage my properties?
63. How can there not be bias or prejudice when this court continually refuses to get to the bottom of these issues, but at every turn, is quick to criticize or punish me, yet dismiss or defer Mr. Taub's financial fault?
64. In a proceeding before this court on April 4, 2008, when it was pointed out that Mr. Taub listed in his statement of net worth only four real estate properties in his name, my attorney pointed out that Mr. Taub listed as liabilities other even more significant real estate properties, but failed to note them as assets. (See Exhibit 14, page 16, line 10 to page 18 line 3) Yet the court never criticizes Mr. Taub for this obvious attempt at concealing his interest in certain assets.
65. During these same proceedings On
66. Real estate located at
PAGE 33 socks every day, that Mr. Taub threatened to chop my hands off, that most of the time I was quiet and afraid to answer or question Mr. Taub, that I was so afraid to be with Mr. Taub that I slept in our daughter's room. Alexander further testified that if I ever objected to Mr. Taub's conduct, Mr. Taub would behave even more violently, but that he never saw me scream at Mr. Taub. Alexander even testified he was afraid of his father. See Exhibit 18, transcripts of proceedings on March 19th, 20th, and 21st, 2007.
91. Our daughter, Cheryl Taub, also testified regarding what she observed. She testified that she loves her father but not what he's doing to me. See Exhibit 18, page 37. She also testified that especially the last two years, Mr. Taub would come home every day and become enraged at me and scream at me for no reason, and if I were not home the minute he arrived, he would "just fly into a rage and start screaming and cursing her," that she was scared of her father, that he broke off a door handle to our daughter's room when I had sought refuge in my daughter's room and that literally for several hours he was screaming at me, that if I tried to defend myself, Mr. Taub would get "more mad and start yelling more and throwing things around more", he never gave me any credit for working so hard to prepare for Shabbat and the 20 to 30 guests he invited each week, that he would always tear up my mail, that I was assaulted by Mr. Taub who put his hands around my neck, threw a TV at me, and so on. See Exhibit 18.
PAGE 34 92. She also testified she was afraid of her father who told Cheryl on one occasion he "would have no problem getting rid of my mother", and on another occasion that he could easily stage a car accident.
93. Nechama Markovics, my daughter, also testified regarding Mr. Taub's abuse. Without repeating what our other children observed, she testified she observed Mr. Taub always treating me "like a slave", that I did not defend myself because "She was too afraid of being punished", that there was a safe in the house where large sums of cash were held, and that "My mother was never permitted to take any money out of that without permission, though she was forced to open it up and allow him to take out and remove large sum," that during one of Mr. Taub's fits of rage and anger, "He took apart the whole kitchen. Everything that was there, he threw it out. He went from one end to the other." See Exhibit 18.
94. Dr Evan Stark, a renowned expert on battered spouse syndrome and domestic violence and abuse, was only allowed to testify generally about battered spouse syndrome. Although Dr. Stark had examined and interviewed me for many hours, Dr. Stark the court did not allow him to testify as to whether, in his opinion, I met the criteria of a battered woman. If he had been allowed to testify, he would have testified that I was a battered woman, and that I had experienced the four dimensions of coercive control (violence, intimidation, isolation and control) and that this was all consistent with the pattern of everything known to be typical in these cases from the literature and clinical experience (Exhibit 29). Certainly, his testimony would have added to the
(STGlascoff copying end of this paragraph which is on pg 35)- "credibility of my claims that I have been abused throughout the marriage. Nevertheless, because of the court's bias and prejudice against me, the court accepted Mr. Taub's claims that this expert should not be allowed to testify and offer an opinion in this case."
PAGE 38 follows
103. The court repeatedly said I was not to be trusted with managing my own properties (Exhibit 16, page 62, lines 3-25 & page 63, lines 1-5). In fact, on the official nyc.gov. website under building violations, Mr. Taub is listed as having 103 violations on his properties, most not corrected. Unpaid fines show over $50,000 outstanding, and violations listed include fire violations, illegal apts. etc… For buildings listed in my name for when I was managing them before filing for divorce in June 2005, there were listed only 2, no fines, and I corrected my violations quickly. (See Exhibit 33 for nyc.gov violation printouts.)
104. Exhibit #29, note that Dr. Evan Stark sent Susan Titus Glascoff his summary of his interview with me. He sent his observations to her since she has attended most of the hearings, starting with
105. I am attaching herewith as Exhibit 34 my documentary – mostly verbatim quotes from this court, whose bias and prejudice is clearly evident at each of my appearances with this court for the past two years.

Recusal Motion Exhibits PAGE 45
(STGlascoff- note there were 48 more pages submitted with above by Chana Taub, including lots documentation- BELOW is just opening summary pg + next pg which goes onto 3rd pg since different size print in originals)
(A) Since first taking the case, July 2006, refused to ENFORCE HER OWN OR Chana's lawyer's requests for discovery FOR TWO YEARS (still not done)!
( Refused to order that Simon Taub give an accounting for the over $200,000.00 income he collects and pockets EACH AND EVERY MONTH from his large properties, in addition to Chana's two small properties, while completely depriving Chana of any rental income. Denied all Chana's motions and pleadings for an accounting - at least of rents stolen from her own properties.
(C) Refused to order/enforce child support or pendente lite, no "status quo."
(D) Denied every single one of Chana Taub's motions
(E) Refused to order legal fees.
(F) Distorting & Obstructing the truth, in order to assist Simon against Chana.
(G) Deliberate "ignorance" of the law, so as to deprive Chana.
(H) Refused to address prejudice against Chana when Simon refused "Get"
(I) Judge Demarest ordered Simon to pay marital mortgage several times, TWICE Chana filed Contempt Motions when Simon violated her orders, TWICE Judge Demarest vacated her own orders, to assist Simon in WASTING the marital assets.
(J) Made improper and unreasonable orders against Chana.
(K) Continuous inflammatory, BIASED statements against Chana
Judge Demarest supported, condoned, endorsed and awarded all of Simon Taub's flagrantly wrong and unethical actions throughout the legal proceedings which have led to absurd and harsh orders against Chana Taub and enormous legal fees. Chana Taub is petrified to step into Judge Demarest's Court, knowing that she will not be given a fair determination before her, and even worse – will be target of some new, bizarre and abusive Order endangering her and her children's lives.
* * * * *
1) P. 6, Lines 2-21: ATTY. ROSENTHAL: "On the calendar for today, it was my understanding, was the issue of spousal support and child support. That motion has been kicking around. This case is about 14 months old, and to date there has been no decision on the issue of spousal and child support and it's one of tremendous importance."
THE COURT: "Before we get any further than this, one of the issues that I intend to address and this is… we are going to find out whether there's any reason to be addressing any of this….. And the motions you referred to, some of them were made long before I got the case and I previously indicated that I felt that, at least as to some of these motions, they should probably be deemed dismissed and started again because I have no prior knowledge of any of the matters that took place in the courtroom. So, I'm not going to try to resurrect them."
(If one spouse has no money, shouldn't pendente lite and child support be the first important issue to address? Judge Demarest always found ways to refuse support by diverting from the subject (above) and by denying outright.)
P.6, Lines 19-20, Judge claims to have no "prior knowledge" of Chana's motions pleading for support, but immediately following that, P.7, Lines 2-14, she has full knowledge of Simon's motions!)
2) P. 7, Lines 2-25: THE COURT: "I would note that there's a motion to punish for contempt that is against your client (Chana) for failure to account for certain property that was removed from the marital home by her, prior to my ever getting this case." "And while I find no merit at this time in the motion to punish for contempt, because she has finally complied."
(At the same time, Judge Demarest has "no prior knowledge" of Chana's motion that Simon account for his millions. Judge does not threaten Simon to "punish for contempt" even though he is in contempt, he never gave any accounting.)
ATTY.. ROSENTHAL: "This is a Court of equity. We have here a money spouse to my right and we have a non-money spouse here…"

Thank you for your replies.
I understand, "Innocent until proven guilty," the right to have a trial and pleading not guilty in an effort to plea to lesser charges but, the viciousness of the attack made me sick. Literally, sick.
He comes in and rains punches about her head and face. (Right next to the three year old little girl.) He goes up to the second story and rummages around and comes back down and attacks her again punches and kicks to the face and upper torso. Goes up a second time comes back down and beats her again. That poor woman was totally defenseless and not a threat at all. The third time he comes down and chokes her, body slams her and then drags her to the basement where she says, "God, no," and throws her down the stairs!
The poor woman makes a concerted effort to not yell so as not to upset her child and maybe draw his violence to the child. She decides to "Just take it," and hopefully keep his anger focused on her and not the little girl.
I don't believe this was *just* a home intrusion/burglary. I think he wanted to find a woman he could beat all to hell and whatever valuables he might find and steal were just *gravy*.
I hope the state says, Plead guilty to all charges and maybe, just maybe, you will have a chance to someday get out or we go to trial and you will be found guilty with no chance for parole."
Sorry. But this just hurt and injured my soul and I am so pizzed off.
That child will never, ever forget seeing her Momma beaten.
