The E-Accountability Foundation announces the

'A for Accountability' Award

to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

Winners of the "A":

Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner
Dee Alpert
Aaron Carr
Harris Lirtzman
Hipolito Colon

Conspiracy Case Against Proskauer Rose Misfires
Proskauer Rose will not face claims that it conspired with federal judges and New York officials to undermine patent claims against Time Warner, a federal judge ruled. "It is a rare event indeed when a court can resolve a truly voluminous case in a succinct, laborsaving manner: fortunately, this case is one in which that rare event will occur," U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein wrote.
          
Conspiracy Case Against Proskauer Rose Misfires
By RYAN ABBOTT, Courthouse News

WASHINGTON (CN) - Proskauer Rose will not face claims that it conspired with federal judges and New York officials to undermine patent claims against Time Warner, a federal judge ruled.
"It is a rare event indeed when a court can resolve a truly voluminous case in a succinct, laborsaving manner: fortunately, this case is one in which that rare event will occur," U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein wrote.
P. Stephen Lamont, the CEO of a company called Iviewit, claimed that Proskauer Rose conspired 22 others in the federal government and New York state to quiet his claims over digital-video technology that Time Warner allegedly stole from him in 1998.
Representing himself, Lamont claimed that his company's technology allows for encoding and transmission of digital video across all transmission networks, a digital zoom feature, and remote control of video devices. He claimed that Time Warner and other unidentified companies stole the technology and refuse to pay him royalties.
"Among their arguments, defendants assert that pro se plaintiff, Mr. P. Stephen Lamont, previously litigated these claims and that they were ruled upon by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York," Rothstein wrote. "The court agrees, and dismisses plaintiff's sole federal claim under the doctrine of res judicata."
Judge Rothstein tossed out all of Lamont's claims, including his motions to disqualify the representative capacity of the New York state attorney general, to file an amended complaint, to file a surreply and to require service of the defendants by the U.S. Marshal Service.
