SLU law dean resignation letter details dispute with Biondi
- Greta Weiderman
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Annette Clark, the dean of the Saint Louis University School of Law, resigned Wednesday, effective immediately. Clark joined the law school in 2011 from the Seattle University School of Law.
In a letter to the school's president, Rev. Lawrence Biondi, and its vice president for academic affairs, Manoj Patankar, Clark said she no longer has confidence in either of their "abilities to lead this institution" or in their "commitment to the well-being of the School of Law." Read the letter in its entirety below.
She detailed what she called "egregious actions" of Biondi, including:
- Transferring more than $800,000 from the law school building fund to the President's Opportunity Fund on the final day of Sandy Johnson's interim deanship without her knowledge and counter to Johnson's understand of the school's agreement regarding her compensation.
- Acquiring the building downtown and deeming it to be the new law school without adequate investigation and consultation with law school leadership.

"Her emails to Dr. Patankar and me, and to the faculty and staff of our School of Law, demonstrate a lack of a clear and comprehensive understanding of the duties and obligations, autonomy and authority, of a modern-day dean at a large and complex university," Biondi said in the statement that he send to faculty and staff.

A few documents were unsealed in the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev case, including the transcript of his advisement at the hospital two days after his capture. The trauma surgeon attending to him told the judge:
He has multiple gunshot wounds, the most severe of which appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower 18 face. This was a high-powered injury that has resulted in 19 skull-base fracture, with injuries to the middle ear, the skull base, the lateral portion of his C1 vertebrae, with a 21 significant soft-tissue injury, as well as injury to the pharynx, the mouth, and a small vascular injury that's been treated. He has, in addition to this, some ophthalmologic injuries that have been treated.
He has multiple gunshots wounds to the extremities that have been treated with dressings to the lower extremities; and in the case of his left hand, he had multiple bony injuries as well that were treated with fixation and soft-tissue coverage, as well as tendon repair and vascular ligation.
He was questioned for two days before this hearing, without being advised of his right to counsel. He was also being administered Diluadid, a potent pain killer, every three hours.

Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, the friends of Dzokhar Tsarnaev who took items from his dorm room a few days after the Boston Marathon bombing, appeared in court today and entered pleas of not guilty to charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice. After court, Dias' attorney released a statement, which reads in part:
"Dias comes from a former Soviet-bloc region where police routinely are distrusted. Yet when authorities first approached him, he fully cooperated and for nearly 12 hours over two days Dias answered the FBI's questions without an attorney or a Kazakh Consular official present," the statement read.
"Dias also voluntarily turned over the computer from Tsarnaev's room and told the FBI where they could find the backpack that contained a packet of fireworks. The FBI recovered all of the items because of Dias' complete cooperation with their investigation."
At Slate, Azamat's first lawyer, Harlan Protass, has an op-ed arguing against long sentences for the pair. The Government told the court today it expects to call 15 to 20 witnesses at trial.

Sergeant Sean P. Murphy, the State Police tactical photographer who leaked photos of a bloodied Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with a sniper's laser aimed at his head as he surrendered and departed the boat, has been placed on leave. He will have a hearing next week. He was not authorized to release the photos.
The U.S. Attorneys office, former prosecutors, police officials, a law professor and defense lawyers have all blasted Murphy's release of the photos.

I'm sure there will be people outraged by the presence of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of Rolling Stone. I'm not one of them. I'm looking forward to reading the featured article about him.
[RS Editor Janet]Reitman spent the last two months interviewing dozens of sources – childhood and high school friends, teachers, neighbors and law enforcement agents, many of whom spoke for the first time about the case – to deliver a riveting and heartbreaking account of how a charming kid with a bright future became a monster.
I just wish they hadn't called him a "monster." Hopefully the article will provide some unbiased insights into Jahar from people that really knew him. It comes out August 3. [More...]

While unnamed officials continue to tell the media that Ibragim Todashev "implicated" himself in the killing of three men in Boston in 2011, his wife (from whom he was separated) and father are speaking out and disputing the media allegations.
Ms. Manukyan, an Armenian who converted to Islam before marrying Mr. Todashev, says she met her late husband in 2010 through a mutual friend in Boston. She says she separated from Mr. Todashev last November but was still in regular contact with him and was partly supporting him through their joint bank account. She says she saw him last week when he came to visit her in Atlanta and spoke to him this week.

The FBI and Boston police were in Florida questioning Ibragim Todashev, an acquaintance of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, when the FBI says he got violent and an FBI agent shot and killed him in self-defense.
Here is an interview with a friend of Todashev's.
An unnamed source says Todashev is "directly involved" in the triple murder in Massachusetts, in which one of the victims was a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The source says Todashev and Tsarnaev knew each other from martial arts.
Undoubtedly, there is much more to this story. [More...]

Yesterday, the Judge in the Boston bombing case of defendant Dzokhar Tsarnaev issued an order denying a motion filed under seal in which the defense asked to take periodic photographs of Dzhokhar (Jahar) at Devens Medical Facility to be able to document his evolving physical and emotional state. The court declined to interfere with BOP policy which disallows visitors to have cameras on security grounds. It ruled that the staff at the prison can take the photos which will be shared with both parties (not just the defense.) Here is the Court's order, referencing the motion which was filed under seal as Docket Number 29. The order also refers to a response the Government filed under seal.
Looking at the docket, it appears that there have been many motions filed under seal, because so many numbers are missing. Instead of listing the docket number with a descriptive notation like "Motion to Suppress, Sealed, by Defendant", there's a big nothing. See below: [More..]

RiaNovosti in Russia recently interviewed Devens Medical Center spokesman John Colautti about Dzokhar Tsarnaev's conditions of confinement.
Jahar is locked down 23 hours a day 5 days a week and 24 hours a day on weekends. He has no TV. He could listen to a walkman radio if he had $45 to buy it. His meals are brought to his cell. A book cart is brought by his cell a few days a week. He eats every meal alone in his cell. He gets three showers a week -- in his cell. He's not allowed contact with other prisons. Even if his injuries improve and he is moved to another facility, it's unlikely his living conditions will be any different -- he'll be deemed to be a "celebrity" inmate who needs to be segregated from general population. This could easily go on for a year.
The only people he sees besides medical staff are his lawyers, and they are 30 miles away. He still can't have visitors because it takes a while. He has to submit the names of visitors -- they have to be people he knew before being arrested -- and then a thorough background check is done on them.
His cell is about 10 feet by 10 feet and contains only a bed bolted to the floor, a sink and a toilet. When he is taken out for exercise, he is shackled at the hands and feet by two guards, and brought to a cage type place outdoors where he can exercise. If weather is inclement, there's an indoor room where he could exercise alone. If the prison gets put on lockdown, or staff is short (e.g. from furloughs), he doesn't get to go.

Time has a new report on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's recent trip to Russia. Shorter version: Tamerlan was more radical than his Islamist cousin who is in a protest group. He didn't get radicalized in Russia, he tried to radicalize them. No one listened to him and they tried to dissuade him of his views.
Time reports the distant cousin "has been in jail since April 27 after a brawl with police in northern Dagestan." That's not quite the whole story. According to eyewitnesses, the cousin was part of a wedding party that got stopped by police for having an Islamic flag on the car. Ten members of the party, including the cousin, were beaten by police and arrested. In all, 17 members of the wedding party were charged. They have all been sentenced to "administrative penalties" of between 5 and 10 days in jail. Tamerlan's cousin's detention was extended a few days. [More...]

ABC reports the parents of Tamerlan Tsarnaev are now considering cremation since Russia is unlikely to accept his body:
[T]he family of Tamarlen Tsarnaev is now considering cremating the body and trying to transport the ashes back to Russia, then burying them. Although cremation is against Islamic law, the parents see it as the only way of burying their son's remains, according to Heda Saratova, a local human rights activist and spokeswoman for the family.
But Russia might not accept the ashes. There are companies in Boston that will do burials at sea -- both of bodies and cremated remains. I wonder if they have called New England Burials at Sea.

Worcester Police Chief Gary J. Gemme held a press conference this morning outside the funeral home that is holding Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme pleaded today for anyone with authority to provide a burial site for suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Gemme said Russia is not an option and there are no viable other prospects. Federal and state officials have not been responsive.
The city is spending $10,000. a day for security around the funeral home.
Whose fault is it that Worchester has to spend $10k a day guarding the funeral home? It's not the funeral director's fault. It's not Tamerlan Tsarnaev's fault. The need for security is due to the protesters. No sympathy here.

Fort Wagner
I.Glory unto the gallant boys who stood
At Wagner, and, unflinching, sought the van;
Dealing fierce blows, and shedding precious blood,
For homes as precious, and dear rights of man!
They've won the meed, and they shall have the glory;--
Song, with melodious memories, shall repeat
The legend, which shall grow to themes for story,
Told through long ages, and forever sweet!
High honor to our youth--our sons and brothers,
Georgians and Carolinians, where they stand!
They will not shame their birthrights, or their mothers,
But keep, through storm, the bulwarks of the land!
They feel that they _must_ conquer! Not to do it,
Were worse than death--perdition! Should they fail,
The innocent races yet unborn shall rue it,
The whole world feel the wound, and nations wail!
No! They must conquer in the breach or perish!
Assured, in the last consciousness of breath,
That love shall deck their graves, and memory cherish
Their deeds, with honors that shall sweeten death!
They shall have trophies in long future hours,
And loving recollections, which shall be
Green, as the summer leaves, and fresh as flowers,
That, through all seasons, bloom eternally!
Their memories shall be monuments, to rise
Next those of mightiest martyrs of the past;
Beacons, when angry tempests sweep the skies,
And feeble souls bend crouching to the blast!
A shrine for thee, young Cheves, well devoted,
Most worthy of a great, illustrious sire;--
A niche for thee, young Haskell, nobly noted,
When skies and seas around thee shook with fire!
And others as well chronicled shall be!
What though they fell with unrecorded name--
They live among the archives of the free,
With proudest title to undying fame!
The unchisell'd marble under which they sleep,
Shall tell of heroes, fearless still of fate;
Not asking if their memories shall keep,
But if they nobly served, and saved, the State!
For thee, young Fortress Wagner--thou shalt wear
Green laurels, worthy of the names that now,
Thy sister forts of Moultrie, Sumter, bear!
See that thou lift'st, for aye, as proud a brow!
And thou shalt be, to future generations,
A trophied monument; whither men shall come
In homage; and report to distant nations,
A SHRINE, which foes shall never make a TOMB!

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Here's the latest on the Gophers football team:
Head coach Jerry Kill, who is on leave to treat his epilepsy, was in the office for a few hours Sunday and Monday. He'll likely watch Saturday's game from the coaching booth.
"He'll be in and out as he feels," acting head coach Tracy Claeys said. "Like I said, he's got a process that he's got to go through, and the better he feels, he likes to be around the kids."
As for how involved Kill will be in game planning for Nebraska, Claeys said, "I would be surprised if he's heavily involved in it. But the fact he drove seven hours to Chicago [for the Northwestern game], I'm sure he'll be in the press box for this game. And if he's got some advice to help us win the football game, I'd be glad to listen to it."
Claeys had planned to name a starting quarterback for the Nebraska game, but he said that will have to wait because Mitch Leidner is sick. Leidner started taking some antibiotics.
That would seem to increase the likelihood that Philip Nelson starts on Saturday, but Claeys didn't indicate that.
"One thing we have here is a rule that if you're going to play, you've got to practice," Claeys said. "So we'll see how Mitch handles this medication if he feels better."

NEW YORK (Reuters Breakingviews) - The grounding of two Japanese airlines' Dreamliner fleets is a warning. Boeing (BA.N) needs to fix the glitches to ensure a smooth future for the much ballyhooed and delayed 787. But the problems aren't looking any bigger than the Airbus EAD.PA A380's teething troubles. Investors' mild reaction - a 4 percent drop in the stock, knocking market value down by about $2 billion - seems right.
Boeing's new flagship, which ran years behind schedule and far over budget in development, was intended to corner the global point-to-point market - delivering passengers to their final destination rather than just flying them between major hubs like New York or London. So far Boeing has orders for slightly fewer than 900 aircraft and needs to sell at least 1,100 to start making a profit on the Dreamliner, according to Morningstar.
Overheating and possible fires associated with lithium-ion batteries - a novelty on planes - is far from the kind of marketing Boeing would hope for. But big new jets that push technological frontiers typically suffer problems, which also get more attention than they might on already established models. Airbus's giant A380 experienced similar setbacks. Engine failure on a Qantas (QAN.AX) flight in 2010 forced it to return to Singapore, and cracks in the wings of some aircraft helped saddle the maker with a repair bill that ran into the hundreds of millions of euros.
Investor reactions can cause markets to overshoot. BP's (BP.L) shares halved in value in the three months after its Gulf of Mexico spill three years ago, and they have regained half the lost ground. Toyota Motor (7203.T) stock rebounded quickly after plunging following the recall of about 8 million cars worldwide over gas pedal issues in 2009 and 2010 - perhaps an incident more comparable to Boeing's current troubles.
This time, Mr. Market may have got it right. Sure, Boeing needs to find answers, and quickly. But battery concerns have been overcome before, in uses like laptop computers and electric cars. Though the Dreamliner may have hit turbulence, so far there is no reason to make for the emergency exit.
- Two Japanese airlines on January 16 grounded their fleets of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft after an All Nippon Airways (9202.T) flight was forced to make an emergency landing.
- ANA and Japan Airlines (9201.T) stopped flying their 24 Dreamliners, almost half the world's fleet, for at least two days. United Airlines has continued flying 787s.
- On January 7 there was a fire in a lithium-ion battery pack on a Japan Airlines 787 in Boston.
- Boeing's stock price fell 3.8 percent to $74 a share by mid-afternoon on January 16.

A collection of essays making the case for the progressive power of innovation and the digital economy in enabling societies to cope with new challenges.
Conventional economics provides an increasingly poor guide for economic policy and should be replaced by an evolutionary economics framework.
Rob Atkinson contributed the chapter "Public Policy, Innovation and New Technologies" to the textbook "Guide to U.S. Economic Policy."
Robert Atkinson contributed the chapter "Innovation in Cities and Innovation by Cities" for the book "Creating Competitiveness: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Polices for Growth."
In a chapter for the new book Practicing Sustainability, Rob Atkinson wrote about sustainability from an innovation economics perspective.
"Innovation Economics: The Race for Global Advantage." This new book delivers a critical wake-up call: a fierce global race for innovation advantage is under way and the United States is running the risk of losing.
Daniel Castro contributed a chapter titled "U.S. Federal Cybersecurity Policy" in the book "Cybersecurity: Public Sector Threats and Responses."
Rob Atkinson contributed a chapter titled chapter "Who's Who in Internet Politics" for the book "The Next Digital Decade: Essays on the Future of the Internet."
Supply-Side Follies: Why Conservative Economics Fails, Liberal Economics Falters, and Innovation Economics is the Answer
Supply-Side Follies methodically debunks the common assumptions of conservative economics and demonstrates why it is a flawed doctrine that is setting up the U.S. for a major economic downturn in the near future.
Taking into account the historical record, the book discusses the shortcomings of prevailing liberal and conservative economic doctrines and lays out a new growth economics agenda aimed at maximizing the productivity and innovation-enhancing forces of the New Economy.

I have returned to my original pseudonym divine poet.I do not live in my soul.I am beyond my body and matter.insanity is my dress.Immorality is my religion.I am not a poet on my own. I do not compose on my own wish.Some one invisible whispers me and my hand composes as per dictation of the invisible he/she anytime anywhere.
My spirit has an invisible miracle pen.It writes on a water sheet and... more »

A Moment With A Night
The night turns a being without forms and image And says, lets go for a sip with this thirsty eyes.
A Crazy And Insane Poet
When I am crazy and insane as said by the critics how can I be a poet. I do not know
A Barren Time
To cultivate a barren time To create a rose garden You entered into an unknown time We walk together
A dreamy poet
Dream takes my poet friend Greenwolfe To be in heaven and in hell Dream helps my friend to be full of greed and lust.
A Letter To My Darling
I know darling You will be surprised to see me My face is full of beard
A Poet Can
A poet can make a stone weeping But I can not I see a stone
I may not see you again Always in my heart you remain I shall never forget you my dear Your sweet memory makes me cheer.
A Form For Me
A time for both of us Only to think When there was no time We do not have any form
A White Dream
White above white White within white White below white. The planet disappears
A Poet From A Timid Nation
I am from a very inferior and insignificant family background My race and my family never conquered any land or country
A God Like Me
Almighty If you are you really a God Mercy me.
Woman 26
Woman is the mystry of God Woman is the miracle of creation All greats are born out of woman Woman is the womb of whole creation.
Come Back Home
Oh, our daughters and sons The place you live in Speaks language of weapons They love war instead of peace
A Wartime Coffin
I am a deadman There is none to carry my coffin The street is barren, remote sound of boots Barking of dogs are floatinf on the smoky air.
Comments about Ershad Mazumdermore comments »
Javier Falcon
Divinity is nothing, but an abstract essence... Poetry comes from the mind and emotions, not from imaginary person talking to you... Remember that true emotions only come from a conscious mind, one that can think thoroughly before writing... So get a new philosophy, something concrete to support your writing... As yours just makes you look insane...

A Moment With A Night
The night turns a being
without forms and image
And says, lets go for a sip
with this thirsty eyes.
Bars were full of dancing souls
Floors were humming with singing girls
Guests were drunk
with the melting beauty of girls.
The night invites me to move
to paradise unknown
where exists only nothingness.

'Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then a place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, and imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors', Umberto Eco, p286, The Name of the Rose.

My Top Films of 2014
Putting together the lists below has made me realise how much of my viewing last year was focused on work from previous years. This was, perhaps, partly a result of me missing the entirety of London Film Festival (due to being busy running the LONDON SYMPHONY crowdfunding campaign), and partly due to my increasing preference for films from the past. From the new work I did manage to see, 2014 has been a good, as opposed to great, year for film – nothing this year has reached the dizzying heights of the films that have topped my list over the last few years (i.e. Ida, Demain? and The Turin Horse), although a single viewing of Boyhood does suggest that it deserves masterpiece status (it'll be interesting to see if subsequent viewings confirm or refute this suspicion). Still, despite my slight reticence to lavish praise, there was some very strong work on show, as suggested by the films in my 2014 list below. Not all of these are without problems, but they're certainly all worth a look, and deserve their place on an end-of-year list.
(It's probably worth adding in passing that I'm yet to see three of my most anticipated films from 2014: Horse Money, La Sapienza and Birdman).
If the new films left me slightly unenthused, the older films I saw did quite the opposite, and there were many suitable options clamouring for space within the top ten Films from Previous Years that I Saw for the First Time in 2014, which feels especially strong this year (though I suspect I say that every year…).
As always, directors' names will take you to their IMDb pages.

Since September
|LONDON SYMPHONY production still.
As anyone who's visited this blog more than once will know, it's not uncommon for there sometimes to be several months between entries. The reasons for this are many, but primarily it's to do with a busy schedule and the difficulty of setting aside time to write entries, as well as – perhaps – a shift in my priorities. But still, as we head towards the New Year (and my annual Top Films of the Year post, which will be posted in the next few days), I thought it might be worth briefly outlining what it is I've been busy doing since my last post, especially given that that post centred on the crowdfunding for my new film LONDON SYMPHONY.
Well, the good news (for those that don't already know) is that LONDON SYMPHONY made its target, and is now in production. The plan for the film has always been to have some back and forth between the writing, shooting, editing and scoring of the film, so it's been an intense few months since the campaign ended – but we are now on our way, and both shooting and editing have begun. For more regular updates on our progress, please consider joining The Community we've put together for the film. You can also find more info about the film by visiting our website, and especially our press page.
As if the new film wasn't enough to keep me busy, I've also started working for the production company Fabelizer, as their 'Master of Quills' (aka Vice President, Creative Group, aka head of their script department). Here's a little more about the company:
Fabelizer creates magical cinematic experiences for young children. Our guiding vision is to create a global community of children bound by strong morals and values through cinematic content. By creating heroes that embody values like friendship, generosity and courage, the Fabelizer brand will be synonymous with safe, non-violent, non-stereotypical and unadulterated content for children. Fabelizer is committed to creating impact for children across the world, by giving them quality content to learn from and be entertained by. We believe that social impact is not only about poverty but about exclusion from society. For too long the needs of young children have been neglected in the media industry. Fabelizer aims to resolve this issue by creating quality content dedicated to children in a consolidated and scalable manner.
You can find out even more by visiting their website. I've had a fun few months working for the company, and I'm looking forward to continuing in my role there. I'll do another post about the company, and some of the films I've been working on with them, when these films near completion.

LONDON SYMPHONY Crowdfunding Campaign Now Live
Sorry for the lack of recent posts – as alluded to last time, I've been busy with my new project, LONDON SYMPHONY. Things with the project have been going well, and I've just launched a crowdfunding campaign for the film, here: http://www.londonsymphfilm.com. For those who don't know, LONDON SYMPHONY is a silent film – a City Symphony – about the culture and diversity of London. You can find more info on the link, or in the video above. Please take the time to find out more, and give what you can - any donation, large or small, will go a long way towards helping me get the film made. And if you can't afford to pledge, you can still be a massive help by sharing the link with anyone you think might be interested. Thanks!

rewards on offer as part of the campaign.

LONDON SYMPHONY - Photographs
As some of you might already know, I've recently been taking some photographs for one of my new projects, London Symphony. You can find some of these images on the project's website, as well as on the project's Instagram feed, but I thought I'd cross post a few images here, for the benefit of those that visit this blog. Enjoy.

The Best of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twenty of the very best tales from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fifty-six short stories featuring the arch sleuth. Basing his selection around the author's own twelve personal favourites, David Stuart Davies has added a further eight sparkling stories to Conan Doyle's 'Baker Street Dozen', creating a unique volume which distils the pure essence of the world's most famous detective. Within these pages the reader will encounter the greatest collection of villains and the weirdest and most puzzling mysteries ever seen in print. And there at the centre, in a London swathed in eddies of fog and illuminated by gaslight, is to be found the remarkable character of Sherlock Holmes and his staunch companion, Doctor John H. Watson. Few will be able to resist this invitation to step aboard the waiting hansom cab and rattle off along cobbled streets into unimagined dangers and intrigues.

Khan for sure; can't wait for this!
DarthBob...firstly...AWESOME AVATAR! Second...who is that?
I'm sorry...I forgot what this post was about...
@Higgy, not sure but I believe her to be a fitting tribute to the forthcoming MOS movie.
Ok...maybe I am biased, I love a great trailer (if there isn't there should be a school that emphasizs the importance of music, visuals and mystery...the "tease" if you will) The only way this clip/tv spot could be better si if this was themiddle 60 seconds plus of the last trailer. There is at least a minute of that trailer that doesn't "stand up to this"... Tease action, romance(did I just type that about Spock?) and the the reveal of Mr. Cumberbatch's vessel....the eerily similar to the Enterprise E "Revenge" I have heard it called...."I can give you 72 reasons...and they are on board your ship Captain...and they have been all along." That is a serious plot tease. Like I didn't want to see this movie because of Benedict Cumberbatch enough!
You inspired me DarthBob...I am now one of you.
Welcome to the club Higgy, hopefully everyone will join in!
Still don't care about seeing this movie.
