How can the government encourage us to keep our trees? In all kinds of ways, but not through mandating the replanting of trees regardless of the landowner's mitigation efforts. At least that's what Wesley Hottot reports the Sixth Circuit said last week. There's also a little excessive fines talk, which is worth your time as Wesley is kind of “the excessive fines guy.” He's also a birdwatcher, which comes in handy in this tree case. Meanwhile, there's some trouble on the sidewalks of New York, especially as it relates to a federal statute protecting “places of worship.” Dan Rankin of IJ tells us the Second Circuit thinks that might be many locations, but not a sidewalk. There's also some Commerce Clause talk and what's a “substantial effect” on commerce these days. F.P. Development, LLC v.

David Greenwald's powerful and intimate new film from Virgil Films, feature documentary THE BLECH EFFECT, follows David Blech, showcases the disgraced former "King of Biotech" (dubbed by the New York Times in their profile). Blech was a pioneer investor in the industry, once worth more than 300 million dollars, securing his place on the Forbes 400 list. At the start of the film he is $11 million dollars in debt and awaiting a possible jail sentence from his family home in Chelsea. At the same time, perhaps the gambler instinct coming to the fore, David is seen racing to develop a potential cure for Alzheimer’s Disease that could reverse his fortunes and rebuild his legacy. Greenwald is an award-winning film editor who has worked with directors Jonathan Demme, Spike Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Tim Robbins and Ed Burns. His editing credits include award-winning videos and concert films for Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Carly Simon, Tupac Shakur, Eddie Van Halen, Mariah Carey, B.B. King, Luciano Pavaroti, and The Beastie Boys. His work in television earned him an Emmy Award for editing Girlfriend produced by Oprah Winfrey. Other TV credits include Beyond The Moon with Walter Cronkite, and The Curt Flood Story, directed by Spike Lee for HBO. David’s film credits include editing COUSIN BOBBY by Jonathan Demme, THEREMIN - AN ELECTRONIC ODYSSEY which won The Sundance Filmmakers Trophy Award for Best Documentary, SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK directed by Ed Burns, and ASH WEDNESDAY directed by Ed Burns.
