Steinbuch v. Hachette Book Group
Filing 41
MOTION for Leave to File Sur-Reply in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend by Hachette Book Group (Stone, Clayborne)
Steinbuch v. Hachette Book Group Doc. 41 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION ROBERT STEINBUCH v. PLAINTIFF No. 4-08-C V-000456 JLH DEFENDANT HACHETTE BOOK GROUP DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUR-REPLY IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND Defendant Hachette Book Group ("Hachette") respectfully moves for leave to file a sur reply to Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend, and for grounds states as follows: 1. In its Memorandum in Opposition to Motion to Amend filed on June 5, 2009 (Dkt. No. 36), Hachette referred to a single threshold issue, not yet addressed by the parties or the Court, that would eliminate the need to expend substantial resources briefing the multiple legal issues that relate to the merits: specifically, whether the proposed claims are time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which, upon application of the Arkansas conflict-of-law rules, would make the law of the District of Columbia the appropriate choice. 2. Plaintiff Robert Steinbuch (hereinafter, "Steinbuch") filed a Motion for Leave to File Reply Brief in Support of its Motion to Amend, and argued in the proposed Reply Brief that he should be granted leave to respond to the issues raised in Hachette's Opposition. Hachette does not oppose the motion. 3. Steinbuch's reply brief raised new arguments in response to Hachette's position on the application of the District of Columbia's statute of limitations to Steinbuch's claims against Hachette, and Hachette's proposed sur-reply succinctly addresses those new arguments. Dockets.Justia.com WHEREFORE, Hachette respectfully requests the Court to issue an order permitting it to file the attached sur-reply to Steinbuch's Reply Brief to Motion to Amend.

Clayborne S. Stone 3 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION ROBERT STEINBUCH v. HACHETTE BOOK GROUP No. 4-08-C V-000456 JLH PLAINTIFF DEFENDANT DEFENDANT'S SUR-REPLY IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND Defendant Hachette Book Group ("Hachette") respectfully submits this sur-reply to address the following specific points raised by Plaintiff Robert Steinbuch's Reply Brief in support of his Motion for Leave to Amend: 1. Plaintiff repeatedly argues in his Reply Brief that a single paragraph in one memorandum written by defense counsel in his separate lawsuit against Hyperion is inconsistent with the choice-of-law argument now raised here by Hachette, which was not a party to that case. This argument has no merit. Hyperion's counsel consistently has argued in numerous memoranda and briefs in the Hyperion case that Arkansas lacks even personal jurisdiction over any defendant, and consistently raised points with respect to that issue that are the same as those raised by Hachette here with respect to choice of law. Ironically, the Hyperion memorandum Plaintiff cites was filed in opposition to Plaintiff's motion to transfer that case to D.C., in which Plaintiff had argued that "counsel for Hyperion, Disney and Cutler wrote that Arkansas is not a See. e.g., Steinbuch v. Cutler, No. 4:06-C V-00620 (JLH), Dkt. No. 29 at 2, 12 ("The plaintiff makes the same claims against Ms. Cutler in this lawsuit. as he does in the D.C. lawsuit."; "Nothing in the Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint indicates that the basis of the alleged harm took place here in Arkansas."); id., Dkt. No. 41 at 10 ("The plaintiff's unilateral act of moving to Arkansas and filing the complaint after the publication of the Book, when the alleged harm took place outside of the State and prior to the plaintiff's taking up residency in Arkansas, makes the State's interest in his alleged claims attenuated at best."). . . * convenient forum for this case" and had quoted this Court as saying that "the events that inspired the book took place in Washington, D.C. and most of the alleged harm took place there." Steinbuch v. Cutler, No. 4:06-C V-00620 (JLH), Dkt. No. 75 at 2. The context of the point 1-lyperion's counsel was making in the referenced passage, which was not about choice of law, was that it was Plaintiff's burden to show that a transfer was warranted, that Plaintiff had not even tried to make such a showing, and that his own allegations were inconsistent with such a showing. There can be no dispute that the choice-of-law question raised here was never considered in the Hyperion case. In any event, since Plaintiff has elected to bring a separate, subsequent lawsuit here, Hachette has a right to raise the issue on its own merits. 2. Plaintiff next argues that Judge Wilson held in the Hyperion case that Arkansas follows the multiple publication rule. Pl.'s Reply at [ 1. This assertion is both incorrect and irrelevant in any event. First, Judge Wilson never found that Arkansas law recognizes the multiple publication rule, and Steinbuch cites no authority suggesting that Arkansas does. Judge Wilson did not decide what Arkansas law ultimately is -- he simply held that Arkansas "has not developed or considered this rule." Steinbuch v. Cutler, 2007 WL 486626 at *7 (E.D. Ark. Feb. 7, 2007). For the reasons previously discussed in Hachette's Opposition, we respectfully suggest this conclusion was incorrect. Arkansas long ago recognized the single publication rule, see Murray v. Galbraith, 86 Ark. 50, 109 S.W. 1011 (1908), as numerous other states understood when they pointed to Murray as authority supporting their adoption of the same rule. See Mem. in Opp'n to Motion to Amend at 3 n.2. Notably, Steinbuch never addresses those points at all, and he offers no reason to suggest why Arkansas would suddenly change its view to adopt a rule that no recent authority has accepted and that has been uniformly rejected by every authority 2 summarizing the current state of modem American law. See, e.g., Restatement (Second) of Torts � 577A. And his references to the "law of the case" are irrelevant, as this is a different case. In any event, even if Judge Wilson had decided that issue andlor even if this Court thought there is a potential discrepancy in the laws of the two jurisdictions, it would not matter. That would simply mean there is another potential conflict between Arkansas and D.C. law and, for the reasons discussed in Hachette's Opposition, D.C. law is the better choice to apply here under Arkansas conflict-of-law principles. Indeed, while Judge Wilson was not explicitly addressing what choice of law might be made if the Hyperion case stayed in Arkansas, the larger point he made was that the single publication rule would be the better rule to apply to the circumstances of this case. Under Arkansas's choice-of-law rules, that itself is a factor that would support the application of D.C. law. See Ganey v. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., 366 Ark. 238, 251, 234 S.W.3d 838, 846 (2006) (considering "application of the better rule of law"). Furthermore, if the multiple publication rule were applied, Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend should be denied because his Amended Complaint fails to state any claim under that rule. Steinbuch would need to plead separate causes of action for each copy of the book allegedly sold in Arkansas and plead a distinct injury experienced in Arkansas flowing from each such particular sale. See, e.g. Hon. Robert D. Sack, RELAThD PROBLEMS SACK ON DEFAMATION: LIBEL, SLANDER & � 7.2 at 7-4 (Under the multiple publication rule, "each publication of a communication provides a separate cause of action. Each sale of a copy of a particular work would give rise to a separate lawsuit in the jurisdiction in which the sale takes place and start the statute of limitations running anew."). The Amended Complaint contains no such allegations. 3. Plaintiff proceeds to make a number arguments accusing Defendant of misleading the Court. These arguments are all pure exercises in semantics, such as suggesting some 3 material difference for these purposes between the dates "June 15" and "June 1" or arguing that a party does not "stipulate" to something when it makes an on-the-record statement regarding its position on a question of fact or law. Pl.'s Reply at �(j[ 2-4. Defendant simply refers the Court to the relevant exhibits and arguments, which speak for themselves. 4. Turning to the merits of the choice-of-law issue actually presented, Plaintiff's argument relies almost entirely on the New Hampshire Supreme Court's decision in Keeton v. Hustler Magazine, Inc., 549 A.2d 1187 (N.H. 1988). We suggest that Keeton is very poor authority for the issue joined here, for several reasons. First, Keeton applied several choice-of-law principles that were very different from, and indeed inconsistent with, Arkansas law. New Hampshire at the time followed the traditional rule that statutes of limitation are always "procedural" for choice-of-law purposes, and therefore New Hampshire courts almost always applied the forum's statute. Id. at 1190-94. The question addressed in Keeton was whether the facts in that case justified some extraordinary departure from that rule, and its principal holding was that New Hampshire would continue to treat statutes of limitations as procedural. Id. at 1194. However, the Arkansas Supreme Court's decision in Ganey, 366 Ark. at 238, 234 S.W.3d at 838, expressly rejected the presumption that statutes of limitations are procedural. Ganey's result is also sharply inconsistent with Keeton, since the Arkansas Supreme Court saw no similar concerns raised by the application of another state's statute of limitations. Second, the actual substantive choice-of-law test Keeton proceeded to consider did not begin with any consideration of the traditional lex loci rule, as the Arkansas test does. For the reasons discussed in Hachette's Opposition, that threshold inquiry virtually eliminates Arkansas law as a potential choice. 4 Third, even if all these points were ignored, Keeton has been widely notoriously -- -- almost criticized as a poorly reasoned decision with respect to its choice-of-law analysis. Indeed, now-United States Supreme Court Justice David Souter, who was a member of the New Hampshire Supreme Court when Keeton was decided, wrote a lengthy dissent in which he found the majority's analysis to be "astonishing" and noted that the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws had already singled out the case as an "egregious example" of forum-shopping. Keeton, 549 A.2d at 1197 (Souter, J., dissenting). Other jurisdictions have since agreed. See, e.g, DeLoach v. Alfred, 960 P.2d 628, 629 n. 1 (Ariz. 1998); Stanley v. C'F-VH Associates, 956 F. Supp. 55, 58 (D. Mass. 1997) (both citing Judge Souter's dissent with approval). We submit that it is therefore highly unlikely that the Arkansas Supreme Court would follow Keeton `s application of Professor Leflar's five factors, particularly given the contrary positions it adopted in Ganey. Indeed, the contrast between Ganey and Keeton further reinforces the conclusion that D.C. law is the correct choice under the applicable Arkansas test. 4. Finally, with regard to Plaintiff's argument here against applying the law of a single jurisdiction (D.C.) to each of his lawsuits, we call the Court's attention to the factual allegations of the Amended Complaint Plaintiff filed last week in a bankruptcy court adversary proceeding he is pursuing in New York against Ms. Cutler. The Amended Complaint there submitted herewith as Exhibit 1 -- -- pleads his claims related to both Ms. Cutler's blog and book as one continuous, inter-related set of wrongs. Indeed, the blog is referenced to support his claims against the book, and the book is repeatedly quoted to support his claims against both the blog and the book. Moreover, nowhere in that pleading is there a single reference to Arkansas. 5 Respectfully submitted, WILLIAMS & ANDERSON PLC Twenty-Second Floor 111 Center Street Little Rock, AR 72201 (501) 372-0800 By: Is!

Robert Steinbuch, Plaintiff, -againstJessica Cutler, Defendant. x Chapter 7 Case No. 07-31459-5 (MCR) x Adv. Pro. 07-50064-5 AMENDED COMPLAINT x COMPLAINT FOR DETERMINATION OF NON-DISCHARGEABILITY JURISDICTION AND THE PARTIES 1. This adversary proceeding is a core proceeding over which this Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. �157 and 1334. 2. 3. Venue is proper in this District and in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. � 1409(a). This adversary proceeding is brought pursuant to 11 U.S.C. �523(a)(6) to determine the dischargeability of a debt. 4. Defendant commenced this Chapter 7 case by the filing of a voluntary petition under chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq (the "Bankruptcy Code") on May 30, 2007 (the "Filing Date"). Defendant is the debtor in this chapter 7 case. Plaintiff is a creditor of defendant. BACKGROUND NYC/348 726.1 5. In May 2004, Defendant intentionally published a "blog," a publicly-available Internet site, on which she added and modified periodic entries from her Senate computer. She entitled the blog "Washingtonienne." Defendant's blog described in graphic detail her ongoing sexual relationships with six men, including Plaintiff. 6. With this blog, Defendant willfully and maliciously caused widespread publication and publicity of private intimate facts concerning Plaintiff in a manner that would be deemed outrageous and highly offensive to an ordinary reasonable person of average sensibilities, subjecting Plaintiff to severe harm. These disclosures of private facts were willful and malicious exposures of the most intimate details of Plaintiff's life to the public, causing him harm. With this blog, Defendant also willfully and maliciously putting him in false light, causing him harm. 7. Cutler's actions were willful and malicious and caused Plaintiff significant injury. 8. On or about June 1, 2005, Defendants Cutler, Hyperion and Disney published a book with the same title as the blog, "Washingtonienne," explicitly based upon Plaintiff's private real life events. 9. Defendant's contract with the book's publisher required the book to be based on her real-life blog. 10. According to Defendant Hyperion, the publisher of the book, the book is an "utterly unrepentant roman a clef exposing the scandalous truth. . . . . [Defendant] uses her `real life . . experience.. for a sexy, semi-autographical novel that is sure to initiate a. game of Who's Who." Hyperion specifically advertised the book as being in "a witty, unapologetic voice, the novel's narrator. . . tells the story of. . . the staff counsel [i.e., Plaintiffi whose [sexuall taste[sl she `accidentally' leaks to the office." NYC348 726, I II, This "accidental" leak--done when Defendant started to write about Plaintiff in her blog--was, as the quotes denote, intentional. This demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 12. Cutler willfully and maliciously transformed her blog into a book for her own profit at the intentional expense of Plaintiff. 13. Defendant willfully and maliciously harmed Plaintiff by publishing her book, constituting Invasion of Privacy (Public Disclosure of Private Facts, Misappropriation, False Light, and Intrusion Upon Seclusion) and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. That is, Defendant willfully and maliciously caused widespread publication and publicity of private intimate facts concerning Plaintiff in a manner that would be deemed outrageous and highly offensive to an ordinary reasonable person of average sensibilities, subjecting Plaintiff to severe harm; Defendant willfully and maliciously misappropriated Plaintiff's likeness and identity; Defendant willfully and maliciously portrayed Plaintiff falsely; Defendant willfully and maliciously intruded upon Plaintiff's seclusion. 14. Defendant admits in the book: "My attitude up until this point was, `Why not feed into it?' I didn't care if people knew my shit anymore, but I realized that it wasn't just my shit that people were interested in. Degrading myself was one thing--if a woman did it to herself, she was in control. But I was humiliating a bunch of other people along with me, in effect, victimizing them." This demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 15. Defendant says in her book about Plaintiff: "He was probably reading my blog right now, feeling as if he'd been duped. Surely, everyone I knew felt that way about me, because I really was a liar and a whore, and now I was exposed." This demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 16. The book says Plaintiff said to Defendant "The latest rumor is that you and your NYC/348726.l 3 friends planned this whole thing. Is it true'?" The book says Defendant said `"It was beyond my control,' was all I could say, like that John Malkovich character from Dangerous Liaisons." This admission demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 17. The book says plaintiff requested Defendant not to continue to be "pursuing any book or movie deals." as that would further harm Plaintiff. And Defendant says in the book that she responded "Why shouldn't 1 make money'?" This admission demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 18. The Counsel for the U.S. Senate stated that Defendant had on her Senate Computer a document with the same title as the blog and the book, the Washingtonienne, again detailing sexual matters, that was dated a year be/�re the blog was created and two years before the book was released. This demonstrates willful and malicious intention in the apparently long-time plan to create the Washingtonienne blog then book. 19. Cutler told Playboy "None of these people [identified in the blog] were elected officials, so they don't deserve the scrutiny [Otherwise,] I would have tried to cash in on that earlier." This demonstrates willful and malicious intention. 20. The District Court in the D.C. Action ruled that there is no legitimate public interest in the information about plaintiff's sex life and the information is not "newsworthy." Transcript of Motions Hearing Before the Honorable Paul L. Friedman United States District Judge, Wednesday, April 5, 2006, Page 52 line 22 to Page 54 line 14 ("The argument that the defendant makes that there is a public interest in this kind of information Ijust reject. that the blog was newsworthy. . . . . The argument . I just don't think carries the day here Mr. Steinbuch's not a public figure. So, I just reject the notion that the relationship between the two of them was a matter of public concern or interest, particularly the details the sex act they performed is just- NYC/348726.1 4 just doesn't carry the day at all. That's not a basis to dismiss."). 21. Cutler's actions were willful and malicious and caused Plaintiff injury. CONCLUSION 22. Accordingly, Plaintiff's claims against Debtor should be deemed non-dischargeable pursuant to �523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code due to the willful and malicious injury by the Debtor to the Plaintiff. NYC348726. I 5 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests judgment against the Debtor: a. Declaring the debt owed by the Debtor to Plaintiff to be non- dischargeable, pursuant to �523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code: b. c. fees, costs and expenses; and such other and further relief this Court deems just and proper.

Now that I've tried the Alfine hubs (on someone else's bikes) I'm not keen on going back to derailer drivetrains, so I'm considering going the whole hog and upgrading my currently single speed Surly Ogre to a Rohloff.
Obviously the price is deterrent, but the idea is that you save on the regular repairs and component replacement costs.
So, has anyone done the hard data on this and assessed just how much a regular drivetrain costs to maintain over the years, and therefore how much the Rohloff saves?

Courtesy Jordi Payà via FlickrPaleo-blogger Brian Switek has written an interesting and lengthy article recounting the recent attempt to auction off a stolen Tarborsaurus bataar skeleton. Professional paleontologists and other concerned parties complained that the illegal dinosaur's remains had come from - and by law belonged to - the country of Mongolia. A last minute court order stopped the auction just as the Tarborsaurus (a relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex) was on the block and already receiving bids. Switek, who blogs about dinosaurs on the National Geographic magazine's Phenomena website writes how the black-market fossil trade deprives institutions of both funds and important scientific knowledge. It does so by creating a commercial market that tends to overly inflate the price of rare fossils beyond the reach of most non-profit institutions, and removes rare specimens from scientific study and public view.

Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
The venues I play bass at are usually small with very limited stage area. I always have two basses, but enough floor space for two instruments is rare for me. I bought two of these clip on String Swings, and hooked them together. Over my top speaker cabinet (under my amp head) they hold both my basses, and take up very little room. There is some shifting, so I may add some industrial velcro to help hold them in place. I also had to take apart the buckle and re-sew the strap to the buckle, using fewer wraps as the thickness of the strap at the buckle was too high...higher than the feet on my amp head. With only one layer wrapped around the buckle, they lay much flatter. These are working great for me.

Can't believe I have not had one of these since I started playing, this is a must have for all guitarists/bassists. It's compact design is great and keeps your ax from crashing into the floor while waiting to play at your gig.

Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
Mounts on side of amp using amp handle. No instructions included but very easy to figure out. No retaining strap on yoke to hold neck but I use a large "O" ring to stretch across yoke to hold neck. Very good for guitars that will not work on traditional guitar stands ( like " multi neck" ones.

Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
I love this item. Unfortunately neither one of my amp heads have handles on the top. No problem though...just buy two and hook them together.they do not harm the tolex on either one of my amp heads, and are extremely stable and secure. I play several heavy basses and have zero fear of this item failing in any way.
Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
This guitar holder works great. When your playing a club with a tight stage, it's great not to have to put a guitar stand up and take up space. It is sturdy and I felt confident hanging guitars on it. I have not tried it when using my ATA flight case for y guitar head. It doesn't seem like that would interfere with how the guitar hangs, but I can't guarantee it. I will also say that if you have a head that is significantly smaller than your cabinet, this may not work very well. However, one of the other models might!
Nice adjustable strap. It works on my Mesa and Marshall heads no problem. Nice coated hook and nice pads so that it won't damage your amp or guitar.
Seems very well built. NIce thick metal bracket and a strong strap.
For the price you can't really beat it.
Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
This "String Swing Guitar Amp Hanger" provided me the opportunity to Hang my Guitar(s) (I use 2 of these Hangers) one from each side of my Marshall JCM 800 2203 Amp Head Stack. They provide easy access to get to either Guitar, if I have to switch, they are off the ground & they are out of reach from people at the side of the stage when we are between sets.
Adjustable Strap, to fit the distance from any Amps Top Handle to the end of either side of the Amp! The Yoke Swings to always keep the Guitar Level no matter what type of neck? Foam Adhesive pads are provided, to place on the inside of the Bracket to help Protect your Amp. It is Easy to slide under the Amp Handle, then gravity holds it in place until you want to remove it.Small & Light enough to put in your pocket (but you would look ridiculous)
Solid Construction! I Liked the 1st one that I bought 8 months ago so much that I bought a 2nd of these 4months later. Both have held up to monthly Bar Gigs, (so far, so good) These should last for a long time!
Great bang for your buck! Does what it is intended to do, let your Guitar Hang from your Amps Top Handle by its neck!
Comments about String Swing Clip On Guitar Amp Hanger:
The picture shows a couple of rubber washers. Mine did not actually include those. But, I don't feel like I need them.
This item would be even better if the hook were made such that I had the option to hook it over the back lip of my amp head and let my bass hang in front, instead of off the side. It would also be better if the strap used a quick adjust Fastex-style buckle to hold it, so that adjusting the length were quicker and easier to get it nice and tight. Of course, it would only cost about $2 in parts at REI to make that modification myself, but still.
Overall, this thing is nice and a good size to throw in a gig bag pocket for use anywhere. But, it's just getting me by until my BassHanger arrives, so I can use that to hang my bass down the front of my stack, instead of off the side.
I use this on top of my Ampeg V-4 head, stacked on a Bergantino NV610 cabinet. It hangs off the side, to hold my bass. With this stack, my bass ends up being roughly 6 inches or so off the floor.
The quality of the pieces is good. There is nothing obvious to me that could really be improved in the quality.
For the price, this hanger is great!

Dancing with the ABT Stars
Pier Sixty was a gastronomic wonderland on Monday night for supporters of the American Ballet Theatre who gathered for the 2009 Culinary Pas De Deux, a benefit to raise funds and awareness to preserve and extend the great repertoire of classical dancing.
Co-chaired by Cheryl Katz, Paula Mahoney, Ruthe Ponturo, Jerry Ruotol and Melissa Smith with special guest hosts ABT dancers Marcelo Gomes and Craig Salstein, the evening celebrated New York's culinary world with a selection of the city's top chefs from restaurants including Gramercy Tavern, Aureole, Nobu Fifty Seven, Cafe des Artistes and Toqueville.
"It's a great way to get people mingling and visiting all of the food and cocktail stations, instead of staying seated all night," explained Melissa Smith, a co-chair for the benefit (and recent board member), who grew up attending the ABT as a young girl. Between tasting the savory appetizers and delicious cocktails from mixologists such as Albert Trummer of Apotheke and Jeff Mancini of Elizabeth, guests enjoyed short "Dancing with the Stars," inspired numbers with leading ABT dancers including a lively salsa and hip hop number.
For those in the shopping mood, an impressive silent auction featured luxuries for all tastes and interests including an extraordinary safari to Kenya and a custom designed cocktail dress by Project Runway Winner, Christian Siriano.

Liebherr: The Cooling Specialist
by Adite Chatterjee, Contributing Editor
When it comes to engineering, it's German engineering that emerges with a reputation as the international leader. And it is German engineering that gives Liebherr, a family-owned corporate group, its technological and creative edge.
With a diversified product portfolio that includes construction machinery, appliances and aerospace and transport technologies, the 4.5-billion euro (approx. U.S. $5.5 billion) Liebherr Group has established its presence in more than 21 countries. Its appliance division contributes nearly 13 percent of the group's total sales revenue and is the second largest business division for Liebherr.
It was in 1954 that Hans Liebherr, the group's founder, set up the appliance division. The post-World War II environment and the reconstruction of Germany offered a business opportunity that Liebherr was quick to grasp. As Germans set about rebuilding their homes and lives, the demand for refrigerators grew exponentially.
Throughout the years, the group has steadfastly focused on refrigeration products, enhancing its product quality and designing innovative products that deliver value to global customers who are looking for top-of-the-line refrigeration appliances. It is this niche-within-a-diversified-business-portfolio strategy that is perhaps one of the most distinctive features of the group's business model. Says Joachim Platten, managing director of Liebherr: "As a diversified group, the appliances division gives our business portfolio balance." And in the process, Liebherr has emerged as the "cooling specialist."
Liebherr's SBS 2410 is a built-in refrigeration system with three separate compartments—the refrigerator, freezer and the BioFresh compartment. Each section has its own dedicated compressor and cooling circuit, creating different temperature and humidity zones.
Doing Things Differently
Since the beginning, Liebherr has striven to do things differently. As Platten explains, "We don't get into business unless we are confident of making a profit, unless we know that we can earn money in order to make further investments." It was this mentality that drove the decision to invest in the company's Ochsenhausen, Germany plant. Hans Liebherr set up the first appliance plant very close to his hometown, base of the automobile giant Mercedes-Benz and a region which some consider to be "home to German invention."
Although Liebherr now has plants in Austria and Bulgaria, the Ochsenhausen plant continues to be the main source of new designs. "The people here are innovative, and they have a special feel for design," Platten says.
So while the global trend is moving manufacturing plants to lower-cost destinations, Liebherr has chosen to stay in Ochsenhausen and benefit from its key strengths: its human capital, attention to innovation and product quality, and a focus on aesthetics and design.
Today, the Ochsenhausen plant is spread throughout 200,000 sq m, has staff strength of 1,697, and has an output of 828,000 appliances per year. The facility is an example of German excellence—not just in product manufacturing, but also in innovative processes.
In its quest to achieve quality, it adopted a concept of teamwork on its assembly line. Each staff member no longer completes a single type of assembly work for hours. Liebherr management created "assembly islands" at two stages in the production process: the pre-foaming stage and at the final assembly stage. At these assembly islands, two- or four-member teams work much more efficiently as the functions are rotated among them. This helps reduce job monotony and keeps the staff motivated.
Platten believes that Liebherr's core strength is its employees. The company employs nearly 11,000 people from the Ochsenhausen region alone. "We share a common history," Platten says. "A guarantee of the quality of our products is the people who work here. They identify with the company, and we gain from their experience."
European Styling for the American Market
There are many "European features" that Liebherr feels will appeal to its newest consumer—the American. Some of the products that have been introduced by Liebherr in this market have several unique design features.
The Fully Integrated Refrigerator/Freezer Concept is one such aspect. European Integrated Refrigeration is completely hidden inside a pantry cabinet. Liebherr engineering allows the unit to be integrated into a sliding hinge system attached to cabinet doors. The only evidence of an appliance is a thin air vent in the toe kick.
The Dual Refrigeration System facilitates optimal conditions in both the refrigerator and freezer whereby separate silent compressors ensure accurate temperature and humidity control. Ice-cold dry air circulates in the freezer section, while the refrigerator maintains cool, moist air, thus sealing in nutrients and safeguarding food. This technology also reportedly preserves the flavor and texture of foods since there is no transfer of unwanted air, moisture or food aroma between the two compartments.
The 48-inch SBS 2410 is a built-in system with three separate compartments—the refrigerator, freezer and the BioFresh compartment—each with a dedicated compressor and cooling circuit. This creates different temperature and humidity zones and is said to guarantee the constant maintenance of the set temperature in each compartment.
Technology-Driven, Quality-Obsessed
For long, Germany has been the key market for Liebherr's appliances. Catering to this quality-conscious market has helped the company design specialized cooling products that meet consumer needs as well as create a core group of dealers. "Being German, we are technology-driven, quality-obsessed," Platten says. "There is a lot of premium on reliability and continuity." It seems these factors have helped Liebherr establish its credentials in the European market.
The focus on innovation has resulted in many "firsts" for the appliance division of Liebherr. Beginning with the frost-safe system rollout way back in 1966 to the changeover to CFC-free appliances in 1993, patenting of the BioFresh technology in 1991, and creation of the automatic ice cube maker in CFC-free appliances in 2003, innovations are vital to Liebherr's success in Europe. While in 1996 new products were launched an average of once every 7.5 years, by 2004 the company sped up its product launch cycle to every 3.1 years.
For Liebherr, innovation is not just tinkering with features or models, but a value addition that helps enhance consumer lifestyles. Says Michael Brielmann, managing director, Overseas, "We are specialists in cooling, and we focus on that. Our aim is not to copy competitors, but to offer new solutions to the consumer."
Take the BioFresh technology the company patented in 1991. This unique technology has allowed Liebherr to offer refrigerators that feature a combination of temperatures and humidity to keep different types of food fresh for longer periods. In fact, the company says studies have shown that technology enables food to retain their nutrients for a longer period. "As a result, our products are not just setting new trends, but also ensuring that they meet our consumers' desire for a healthier lifestyle," notes Platten.
Today, Liebherr is a market leader in the very competitive German market in the mid- and high-price segment of the bottom-freezer combination refrigerator segment. In fact, it seems competing in the tough German appliance market has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for this appliance maker. For instance, the German requirement for environmentally friendly products drove Liebherr to design products that are not only energy-efficient, but also create production processes that are geared to meet international quality standards.
"Eighty percent of our products are rated A++, a certification provided by the European Standard for Refrigerators, signifying the energy efficiency level of the appliance," notes Platten. "According to the standard, appliances are rated from A to G with the most-energy-efficient rating being awarded the A++ and the least G. Similarly, in North America, all of our products have qualified for the tough Energy Star® rating, which means that they consume 15 percent less energy than other appliances in the same category."
Although its roots are in Western Europe, Liebherr entered the East European marketplace in 2000 with the opening of its state-of-the-art plant in Marica, Bulgaria.
A Logical Progression
With the European market expanding, the Liebherr focus on quality and innovation has ensured that the appliance maker's success in other markets as well. Says Platten: "Our strategy has been to enter markets wherever we see a potential for a high-end product. But ours is a step-by-step approach to growth."
Keeping with the "logical progression" of entering new markets, Liebherr has now established itself as a key brand in Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. Its foray into East European markets in 2000 was marked with the opening of its state-of-the-art plant in Marica, Bulgaria. Says Brielmann: "In these markets too, Liebherr has emerged as the premium brand."
Adds Platten: "Even in Bulgaria, we built a greenfield project with German equipment, management and machinery, and created a state-of-the-art facility. In the beginning, all the components that were used were supplied from Ochsenhausen. Only after we were sure that the plant would be able to manufacture them did we stop supplying them."
As in the German and Austrian facilities, the emphasis was on recruiting highly educated staff. However, the Marica location is unique in that product designs and production leads are geared toward the mass market. In fact, production at the Bulgaria facility is so high, products are being marketed in high-end markets such as Germany.
As competitive pressures begin to grow in the European market, the company has started to expand its global operations. "A couple of years ago," says Brielmann, "we opened offices in Singapore for the Asia-Pacific market and in Russia. North America too is an important target market for us, as there is large potential for a high-end brand like ours."
The challenges, of course, will be different for Liebherr in markets like the U.S., where it has to concentrate on building brand awareness. However, Marc Perez, vice president, North America, is not worried: "Our products have features that are different from the American brands, and these features offer specific solutions to the needs of American consumers."
With a range of nearly 300 basic models and 800 different executions—including finish, styling and aesthetics—the Liebherr portfolio offers a huge selection of products that meet American needs. Says Perez: "Our approach for the North American market is to establish Liebherr as a top-of-the-line brand. We have selected the higher-end models of our extensive European range for North America, and we have developed exclusive features for that market." (See sidebar, "European Styling for the American Market".)
Apart from its design-and-quality advantage, the other key element in Liebherr's global expansion is its distribution network. Liebherr selects just one importer for each of its overseas markets, which then looks after the retail market. Brielmann explains: "It is a unique distribution system which is very cost-effective and is based on a relationship of trust."
Platten notes that the distribution system is lean and that the products are directly imported by the distributor. "As a result, we are not adding cost layers, and the Liebherr sales office in the country just provides whatever support is needed," he says.
This distribution strategy, adds Perez, will be a major advantage for the company in the American market. "It sends out the message to distributors that we are long-term players, and we are interested in partnering with our distributors and growing with them instead of just using them," Perez says.
The Liebherr Mantra
For Liebherr, the future clearly lies in the overseas markets, particularly North America. As Brielmann says: "Diversification and global presence are stabilizing factors for the company. With an above-average shareholder equity of 52 percent, Liebherr is in a very good financial position to invest in new products and technologies to meet consumers' changing needs. Our product philosophy of launching high-tech products and our marketing strategy of going step-by-step will together help us to succeed in the competitive U.S. market."
So even as its competitors struggle to cut costs and move production lines to low-cost countries, Liebherr has mastered the strategy of making profits by producing high-quality products with the best materials, equipment, managerial input, and processes. As Platten says: "What is needed are good cost structures, lean management and volumes. We believe that cost-cutting should never be at the cost of quality." And that, perhaps, is the mantra to Liebherr's global success.

He might not have a bagful of wickets on Test debut, but he showed he was more than an unusually tall curiosity

Interviews : 'My height was an advantage but I didn't know how to use it'
Players/Officials: Mohammad Irfan
Matches: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan tour of South Africa
Teams: Pakistan | South Africa
Whatever the outcome of the third Test between South Africa and Pakistan at Centurion, Misbah-ul-Haq's men can leave knowing they gave a good account of themselves.
At Newlands, Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq posted the highest partnership by an opposition team in South Africa in seven years, Saeed Ajmal took ten wickets in a match to show his ability as the world's best spinner and Pakistan provided South Africa with their first real challenge of the home summer. Besides that, the impact of Mohammad Irfan will have left a lasting impression.
Having watched the seven-footer perform in the ODIs in India, the cricketing public could not wait to see him with red ball in hand. The Wanderers seemed the perfect venue. With a pitch that would offer bounce and carry surely Irfan would be a trump card.
Pakistan held him back. Instead, Rahat Ali made his debut, a disappointing one in which he went wicket-less in 25 fairly expensive overs. Misbah-ul-Haq confirmed there was temptation to play Irfan but that the team management felt he still had some development to do before he could be considered ready.
In the tour match before the first Test, Irfan couldn't keep the runs down. Word from the South African invitation side that played against him was that he was imposing but erratic. Some of them said once they got used to the physical presence they were confronted with, he was not too difficult to get away. Adjusting to the fuller length was an obvious challenge.
But in the practice game after the Wanderers Test, Irfan came into his own. His opposition was a mixture of players from South Africa's second-tier first-class tournament (the provincial domestic competition not the franchise one) but he showed he means business. He was restrictive and incisive with 7 for 40 in the match and speculation was rife that he had earned a Test debut.
Before the Newlands match, Misbah said Irfan had become better in his follow-up spells which had been a specific area of concern. With Rahat failing to make an impact at the Wanderers and Juniad Khan an injury doubt, Irfan was certain to feature and there was much anticipation when his name appeared in the starting XI.
Graeme Smith's decision to field first meant interested parties still had to wait to see Irfan and his first appearance was made with bat in hand. Immediately, he stood out. Next to the fielders he was a giant, next to his own team-mates the same but it seemed he was a gentle one as he tried to slog Robin Peterson in ungainly fashion and was eventually bowled.
His bowling appearance took even longer because he was not given the new ball. His first-innings performance was all but forgotten when Saeed Ajmal started the procession of South African wickets and the spotlight was almost completely off Irfan.
But he grabbed some of it. His first Test wicket was the soft dismissal of AB de Villiers who was caught at mid-on. Irfan did not show child-like glee but responded to his success in a measured, mature fashion, befitting a 30-year-old. The only comedy was his team-mates jumping up to high-five him.
He came into his own as the match went on and was given the new ball in the second innings. South Africa's batsmen all said it was "pretty terrifying," to face him at first. What they also noted was that he was much quicker than they expected and regularly breached the 140kph mark when they thought he was around mid-130s.
Although not a quick bowlers' surface, with no swing on offer and nowhere near the steep bounce that can be expected on South Africa's Highveld. But Irfan have a solid account of himself which Dav Whatmore was happy with, even though there are some things to work on, as there are with many rookies.
His run-up is the biggest one after he overstepped eight times, once for a wicket-taking ball, and was spoken to for running on the pitch. Whatmore dismissed the second of those as being due to "big feet," and overall said Irfran's showing satisfied him. "He tried pretty hard," Whatmore said. "It was his first Test match and the conditions didn't suit him but he showed he has something."
The something will be seen more clearly at Centurion. That is the ground South Africa usually prepare to assist the quicks and where they have recorded innings wins over India and Sri Lanka in the last two seasons. They may think twice about doing that this time around given the threat Irfan could pose. It may give him an opportunity to perform to his full capabilities which South Africa may not like but the cricketing world definitely will.
"He is a hard working cricketer," Mohammad Akram, Pakistan's bowling coach, said. "The only words out of his mouth are "I love bowling," and I think not only Pakistan, but the world will enjoy his bowling." On the evidence of his first Test, it certainly seems that way.

The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device... error
Since the 11/18/2012 event viewer (Event ID 219, Task Category 212) has been posting a warning:
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device WpdBusEnumRoot\UMB\2&37c186b&0&STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN (followed by name of USB device)
It only occurs on start up if I have a USB memory device plugged into a USB port. The USB memory device functions perfectly and the error never occurs when I plug in and out a memory device after boot up.
The error only occurs for memory devices like memory sticks, external USB hard drive does not cause this error.
Checking back to around the 11/18/2012 I see nothing that I have changed/installed that might indicate something that has caused this. No other Windows 7 failures or issues.
Booting a second hard drive with windows 7 on the same system (I have this second installation for testing faults etc), the issue does NOT occur.
From checking forums and searching I have found a few others with this issue and a few articles on its cause
WUDFRd failed to load for the device
Event ID 219 is logged after you install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
I was just curious as to why it would suddenly start occurring after a particular date when as far as I can tell I have not made any changes to anything around this date.
Also I wondered if there was a fix to stop this, other than removing a memory stick before boot up!
Any thoughts?
|My System Specs
|10 Dec 2012
I just started getting this exact same error message logged in Event Viewer when I plug a USB stick into a USB port. It happens with two different sticks from two different manufactures, but it does not happen every time I plug them in. It seems that it may mostly happen the first time I plug a stick in after I have booted up my PC.
Have you been able to find a solution to get these error codes to stop logging?
|My System Specs
|11 Dec 2012
Well after much researching I narrowed down the cause of the error message. I noticed that the messages started appearing around the date I very first plugged in a friends Sony Powershot DSC-H9 and installed its device drivers. Indeed when we checked his computer he had the very same message. The error seems to have been caused by the installation of this cameras drivers for some reason. I have found no way of fixing it though, but everything seems to be working so I am guessing its nothing too much to worry about, but its annoying and I would be interested in finding a fix and understanding why this cameras driver causes this. I would be interested if you also have recently just plugged in a Sony!
|My System Specs
|11 Dec 2012
The last new USB device that I plugged in and loader drivers for was a Spyder4, that was on 9/29, this did not start until 12/8 so I doubt that the Spyder4 had anything to do with it.
I changed absolutley nothing on the PC just before this started three days ago. It only happens to me for the first USB stick I plug in after the PC boots up. After the first time I can eject the USB and plug in back in, no error code. I can plug in numerous other USB sticks after I plug the first in and no error code. It is only the first USB stick I plug in after the PC boots into Windows 7.
|My System Specs
|11 Dec 2012
My issue looks slightly different to yours but perhaps with a similar symptom. This message definitely started occurring after installing this particular cameras device driver. This I confirmed by checking the camera owners event viewer who reports the same message, again starting at around the time this camera was first plugged in. Perhaps this link I found clues us in on what is happening, perhaps certain device drivers cause this to occur. I dont think its anything to really worry about.
WUDFRd failed to load for the device
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2012
I seemed to have fixed it thanks to the link you posted in your last response. WUDFRd is a service and it is called "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework".
Windows Administration - What Is wudfsvc and wudfsvc.dll
I went into services.msc and looked at Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework, it was set to manual, but under "Status" it was off. I plugged in a USB and the status changed to "Started".
I changed the startup type to "Automatic", shut down the PC, restarted, checked to see that it was still set to automatic and that it was started. Plugged in a USB and no error code, plugged in another USB and no error code. Shut down, started again, checked again and no error code.
If you change Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework to automatic start let me know if it works for you. Also before you change it the service has to be stopped. For some reason you can not stop it after it has started so you need to boot your PC and before you do anything go into services.msc and change it before it has started. Your PC may let you stop it, but mine would not.
|My System Specs
|15 Dec 2012
Hey, thanks for the feedback, this fixed it for me too. I am wildly speculating here but I am guessing that upon driver installation the driver software has to switch this off to install, perhaps there is a bug under certain circumstances where it does not get reverted back to Automatic. (checking under test systems this should be set to Automatic by default). Again, thanks for the feedback, between us we fixed it!
|My System Specs
|22 Dec 2012
This worked for me. I did not have to stop the service. Just went to services, found "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework", changed it to automatic and the warning disappeared. Thank you.

I have the same problem, and would like to remove it to avoid repetitive entries in Event Viewer.
Also for me the method described in this thread works.
However, it works just one time. The next time I boot the service startup type gets reset to "Manual" again.
Anybody have an idea how I could find out how this happens, or what I can do to prevent this?

Sorry, I don't know why it only worked one time for you. Mine is still set to automatic after all this time. Never got any more warnings.

A Tour of the Shipley & Halmos Headquarters
Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos show us around their Soho workspace
By Matthew Kitchen
The Men
After meeting among the unknown mass of freshman outside their University of Colorado dorm, Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos bonded over board sports and Buffaloes football, and eventually teamed with two classmates to form Trovata, a West Coast brand started merely as a school project. "It wasn't a conscious decision to work in fashion." Halmos, then a finance student, explains. "We were 22 and had nothing better to do, so we were like, 'Let's go ahead and give it a shot.' That was that." Both admit to not knowing or caring much about the industry at the time, but four years later, hype in tow but unfortunately missing their precious California-style burritos, Shipley and Halmos headed to New York to start a new brand in hopes of emulating a classic creative agency.
"We got into solving problems through design," Shipley says. "We needed a table for our pattern work, so we designed a table. We started a small publishing branch where we do some books now and then. We try to always say yes to our own ideas, and that's really taken us forward." But the clothes, originally conceived as whatever you would take in a vacation suitcase, are first and foremost on the men's minds.

Feels good to finally have won something decent for the first time in a while. I had given up hope in the beginning because I was so disappointed I lost all my long parlays on Sanders second fight into the night. Put down $95, won $388 tonight, and will win $170 more if the Irish win next week. Which they will.
Anybody notice this thread is the 7th most viewed in the forum?
Cedeno, Martins and Proctor were nice steals but the Miller loss still stung, won a little over a hundred on Kountermove but the prices are going up so high for buy-ins that it's starting to be less profitable than when I was only putting 10 down.
Meh, going 10 for 11 for the night and really only needing Nelson, Parke and McGregor to follow through is nice, though I've been coming up so short on these near perfect nights. Looking at Pickett to be this weekend's steal but this undercard feels like there may be some wonky bouts.
Yeah, I favor nearly all the favorites which never works ou. Except the early Brazil cards...mwuhaha.
McCall vs Pickett is a tricky one. Seems like it should be a matchup for McCall to keep building momentum off his last win but it's in Ireland and it will very likely be a pretty competitive fight. You'd expect McCall's ground game to steal him a round or 2, though.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
Who do you all have for tonight?
Got a bunch of leftover parlays from Wednesday's card. If Pickett wins, I'll have a nice few payouts and I have a few if McGregor/Nelson/Parke cover, everything else is just a hodgepodge of picking most of the favourites with a variety of a couple underdogs spoiling the show. I'm thinking Seery/Harris and Troeng/Smith have a chance of being close and I'm not sold too hard on either Krylov and Sampo. Should be very interesting.
^I almost hit a 5 teamer in mlb that woulda paid out 560$ off a 10$ bet a couple weeks ago...had some underdogs and some run lines in there...of course it was the Cubs who lost and spoiled it. Unders at Busch Stadium have been pretty solid.
This card isn't too good for betting tho the only thing I might play is some sort of combo involving Gunnar/Conor. Have a pretty hard time seeing either guy lose today.

Anyone playing this next card? It's an "extra risky" card, imo, with a lot of the fights being hard to lean towards one figher confidently. The only fighter on the card I feel good about is Thomson.
I don't think I'm going to make many plays for this one.

Regions Financial: Earnings Winner
Noninterest expense totaled $842 million in the first quarter, declining from $902 million in the fourth quarter and $913 million in the first quarter of 2012. According to the company, professional and legal expenses returned to "a more normalized level" of $31 million in the first quarter from $15 million in the fourth quarter, when Regions "benefitted from $20 million in lower legal reserves." The biggest factor in the sequential lowering of expenses was $42 million in costs in the fourth quarter to terminate a Real Estate Investment Trust investment.
The bank's expenses to maintain repossessed real estate totaled just $2 million in the first quarter, declining from $6 million the previous quarter and $23 million a year earlier.
Another highlight for Regions was that its net interest margin -- the spread between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings -- widened to 3.13% in the first quarter from 3.10% in the fourth quarter and 3.09% in the first quarter of 2012.
Despite the margin expansion, net interest income was down to $798 million in the first quarter from $818 million the previous quarter and $827 million a year earlier. The sequential decline reflected a lower number of days in the quarter, but also a decline in average loans to $73.9 million in the first quarter from $74.6 million in the fourth quarter. Continued declines in commercial real estate (CRE) and residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and other consumer loans, were only partially offset by increases in commercial and industrial loans and indirect auto loans.Average commercial and industrial (C&I) loans were up 2% sequentially to $27.1 billion in the first quarter. Credit Suisse analyst Craig Siegenthaler rates Regions "outperform," and in a note to clients on Tuesday raised his price target for the shares to $9.50 from $9.00, estimating that the bank would be able to see net loan growth beginning in the second or third quarters of this year, "driven by continued strong C&I and indirect consumer growth, retention of 15Y fixed conforming resi mortgage, and slower income CRE runoff."

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
I, and all that I have told to watch and count, have not seen a single Bee! Plenty of wasps. Too many.
But no Bees.
Last year, daily I would look in a grid pattern for bees. Total count for an entire summer season (June thru early September) I counted a total of 9 (nine) bees. 9....
On my property in the Ozarks I have plenty of desirable flowering plants without pesticide. No bees!
F--k you Monsanto!
The article was on point! The sad fact is this is deliberate. This practice goes against everything God had in mind for our NUTRITION.
The day is coming when God will destroy those who are ruining the Earth.

Sent me from pensecola to Millbrook knowing battery was dead could not turn off truck
Because the requested size truck was not available at the location and time that i was guaranteed, I am asking for the $50 that is promised when this guarantee is not met. The originally scheduled location (Pops Attic, Cantonment) was unreachable by phone before the day and time of pick up and failed to notify me that my order had been "upgraded" to a 26' truck from a 20' truck. Because I was driving a very long distance and did not have enough things to fill a 26' truck, this was an inconvenience rather than an upgrade. And so I had to pick up a 20' truck from an alternate location (KPS, Cantonment) where my requested dolly and furniture pads were not available. The entire pick-up experience was quite unpleasant and delayed my time-critical truck loading by almost two full hours.

Got an annual pass? There's lots of perks that come with having a pass: the discounts, being able to visit when you want, special passholder events and perhaps best of all, early entry.
Right now, passholders can enjoy early admission to select attractions, stores, entertainment and dining locations in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Parks one full hour before the parks open to the general public on weekends through April 14, 2013, with the exception of February 3.
Special Tip: Plan to arrive at least and hour and a half before early entry--if you can get the kids out of bed that early!
