Gallery: India's insane Suzuki factories
By the time you've read this story, this plant will have made 40 cars
Posted: 10 Apr 2013
Accidents, weirdly, don't worry him as much. He's got the spare capacity to cope with losing a few trucks, and, besides, Maruti Suzuki has got new strapping techniques. Cars used to be held in place by a single strap; if the truck had an 'incident', the likelihood would be damage to its semi-precious cargo. Now, the vehicles have all four wheels ratchet-strapped to the truck, so that even if the lorry turns over, the cars are still preserved because they just hang there. Which is an odd way of making something positive out of a negative, but hey-ho.
Driving around in a Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, I can't say I share the transport bloke's easily worn Gallic shrug about the risk of accidents in India. Every single car has a dent of some description. And, as a European - in fact, scratch that... as a human being - it's difficult not to notice the crowds, the sheer number of people trying to get somewhere.

Brand Yourself 'New and Improved' for Career Success
by Debra Wheatman - Aug, 2011
By nature human beings like to experience new things; but most of us also have a need to maintain the status quo. To attract the attention of hiring managers who may already know you, but have overlooked you in the past, you will need to step up your professional brand. There is no need to totally reinvent yourself. The fact that you are a known entity can and should be used to your advantage. The trick lies in how to conve...

Bosses have employee issues. Employees have boss issues. Coworkers have peer issues. Isn't working together supposed to be easy? We often set ourselves up for the people problems we face.

One day we realize we're caught in a cycle we don't like—one that's interfering with...
Google and Your Personal Brand
by Debra Wheatman - Aug, 2011
Just before I sat down to write this article, I decided to do a little research. I thought to myself, what will I see if I Google my own name? It was an interesting experiment because I found out that my website came up as the number one hit with my name. I was pleased to see this as I have spent a great deal of time working to elevate awareness of my brand. However, I did notice a few old links and posts that were very o...

I was running on the treadmill the other morning and flipped the channel to one of my favorite local TV sports talk shows. I really like one sportscaster, a gifted analyst who doesn't lead with his ego. His co-anchor is the polar oposite - rude and obnoxious, even by sports talk standards. The topic was the just announced NFL collective bargaining agreement and Mr. Rude kicked it off with a question. "Who won? Owners o...
Nothing Good Happens After Midnight
by Suzanne Bates - Aug, 2011
The mother of a friend of mine always used to say, "Nothing good happens after midnight." After reading the August 1st WSJ article about the Allstate insurance executive who got fired for unflattering remarks about his boss, I would only add "...at the company off-site meeting." The fellow who undoubtedly wishes he had stopped at one (martini, scotch, beer) is Joseph Lacher, the now former president of Allstate's home and a...
Are you walking the talk?
by Hallie Crawford - Aug, 2011
On a recent career group coaching call my client, Tracey, said something brilliant. In the previous week she had been working on becoming more aware of her behavior by observing herself more to understand if she was walking her talk. She has been talking about staying committed to her job search and remaining open to new ideas. Well she realized that some of this was just lip service and she wasn't actually walking her talk!...

Leaders: An Idea to Kickstart the Week
by Andy Robinson - Aug, 2011
I have a couple of executive coaching clients who share a great Monday morning habit -- one that really sets the tone for a positive week. It's a great way to kickstart the week and inspire your team members. It involves four simple steps: 1.Write down the names of all of your direct reports on a blank piece of paper -- no particular order, just a simple list with a few blank lines between each name. 2.For each person o...
Office Space
by Valerie Sokolosky - Aug, 2011
When you think about personal branding, most of the time, you consider things like, what does my personal appearance say about my professionalism? Or what does my web site say about my innovation? Or what does my speech say about my work ethic? What gets forgotten, or really not even consider, is what does my office say about my company? And I mean physical office. Not your wonderful co-workers and superiors, but rather the...

In re Toyota Motor Corporation
Granting a defendants' petition for a writ of mandamus, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ordered the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to transfer a case filed against Toyota to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In re Toyota Motor Corporation, Case No. 14-113 (Fed. Cir., Apr. 3, 2014) (Taranto, J.).
The plaintiff, AVS, is a subsidiary of the patent licensing company Acacia Research. AVS brought the lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas five months after it was incorporated in the Western District of Texas. Some of the patents at issue are in the same family of patents that were previously litigated in the Eastern District of Michigan.
Defendants Toyota and Gulf States filed motions to sever the claims against the Gulf States defendant from the claims against the remaining Toyota defendants, transfer the resulting action against only Toyota to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and stay the claims against Gulf States in the Eastern District of Texas pending resolution of the Eastern District of Michigan case. The Eastern District of Texas did not rule on the motions to sever and stay separately from the request to transfer. Rather it focused on whether the standards for transferring the claims against Toyota were met and ruled that they were not, finding that the convenience factors did not indicate that a transfer to the Eastern District of Michigan was warranted. Notably, the court did not find that any transfer factors favored the Eastern District of Texas, several transfer factors favored the Eastern District of Michigan and two factors were neutral. Toyota filed a writ of mandamus of the Federal Circuit.
The Federal Circuit disagreed with the district court's denial of the request to transfer and found that "the district court's analysis presents a clear overall picture: nothing favors the transferor forum, whereas several factors favor the transferee forum. The analysis may not show that the transferee forum is far more convenient. But that is not what is required. With nothing on the transferor-forum side of the ledger, the analysis shows that the transferee forum is clearly more convenient." (Emphasis in original.) The Federal Circuit held that the district court's denial of the motion to transfer was "a clear abuse of discretion." The Federal Circuit also ordered the district court to address the motions to sever and stay in light of Toyota's "clear right to transfer."

Well thought-out laws can help
Other popular sex offender laws have not had the impact we hoped. For example, residency restriction laws may not reduce sex crimes.
A 2005 survey of Florida sex offenders and a 2004 Colorado Deptartment of Public Safety study showed that residency restrictions may increase recidivism. It appears that paroled prisoners who cannot return home because it is located near a park or a school is more likely to become isolated, homeless and lead an unstable existence. That isn't what was intended when the law was passed.
On the other hand, some laws are carefully targeted and extremely effective. Recent laws allow juries to indefinitely commit the worst mentally disordered sex deviants to a mental hospital instead of being released back into the community. That law works.
The murders of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois have reminded us that we live in a dangerous world. As the father of two teenage girls, I know that San Diego County is becoming a safer place for them to live. But it doesn't feel that way to me when a teenager is killed.
In the mid-1990s, there were 278 murders a year in San Diego County. Last year, there were 90. Adjusted for population growth, that is more than a 70 percent reduction in murders.
Other serious crimes have declined in large numbers. That tells us that some laws have helped police and deputy sheriffs protect us. But, if we learn that a law is ineffective, it should be changed. We only benefit from the laws that work.
Pfingst is an attorney with Higgs, Fletcher & Mack. He was San Diego County's district attorney from 1993 through 2002.
