Fw: [USML Announce] USML Schedule

[Blocker, Mark B.]

While that would make for an interesting story if that were the totality of
what happened, Kerber of course leaves out the conclusion to this story,
which is that I made a perfectly reasonable counterproposal that Ortlieb
ended up accepting, and the judge acknowledged on the record the hard work
both sides had put in to come up with a fair compromise.  But that kind of
stuff just does not make for good soundbites, I guess.

Amusing tale related to both work and roto.  After one of the hearings,
Ortlieb was telling me that he and Blocker were working through some
evidentiary issues.  Ortlieb said, "I made Blocker a perfectly good offer
and he wouldn't consider it."  Can you imagine that?
