The internet is the great equalizer for lingerie brands. No matter how large or small your business is, you have just as much power – just as much potential – to reach customers as the heavyweights in our industry (and yes, I'm talking about that world famous company that starts with "V" and ends with "t.").
A fully-formed internet presence is no longer an option. It's not just a "nice thing to do." It's essential. It's necessary. And if you're not online? Well let's be honest here…for many customers, you just don't exist. The days of the yellow pages are behind. If you want to stay relevant, both now and in the future, you have to be where your customers are…and that's online.
But how do you reach this customers? How can you show them what your brand is about? How can you convince them to shop with you and not one of the dozens of other lingerie stores out there?
Through the deliberate and concerted use of social media.
Social media's very much the "in" thing right now. It's a buzzword most everyone is using along with other buzzwords like "relationships" and "engagement." I don't believe in buzzwords, so let's keep things simple:
When you're ready to make a big purchase, who do you talk to? Where do you go to find information? It's very likely that you do at least some of your research online through Google, Wikipedia, blogs, and other sites. But where else do people go for information? Their friends. Their associates. Their social networks. Lingerie is no different. When someone is ready to purchase intimate apparel, they're going to go with a name they know and trust. A name they've encountered multiple times online. A name they've heard their friends mention as THE place to shop. You want to be that name. You want to be the store or designer or brand that immediately comes to mind when it's time to buy.
This isn't about coming up with a catchier slogan or a better press release. This is about taking the time to be present. About building rapport over days, weeks, months, and yes, years. It's about conveying to your customers that you are there for them. That you want to help them. That you care about them. And that you're the best fit for what they need.
Excited yet? Me too.
Keep reading to learn about the qualities a good social media manager has. After all, there are lots of people who can "do" social, but you're not just looking for a warm body, right? You're looking for someone who can represent your brand and represent it well.
What Do Lingerie Brands Need in a Social Media Manager?
As I mentioned before, social media is the great equalizer. It's where you can share your story. Why you started your business, how you can help customers, what's next for your brand, why people should care. Again, let's be honest. If given a choice between buying from someone they like and someone they feel ambivalent, customers are going to choose the person they like every single time. But likeability on its own isn't enough, experience matters as well. Here's what you should look for in a social media manager for your lingerie business:
- Does this person know anything about lingerie? If you're in the world of intimate apparel, then you know that it's a very specialized industry. Bras, panties, shapewear, swimwear…they all come with a specific terminology. Do you want to spend your time and money teaching someone the difference between a plunge bra and a balconette? Between a boyshort and a brief? Or do you want someone who can start right away by focusing on the bigger picture that's relevant to your brand?
- Does this person know anything about social media? There's a lot of people calling themselves experts, but not everyone has the credentials to back it up. Beware of generalists and "one stop shops." Social media is a rich and complex field all on its own. It's hard to stay abreast of the latest developments if you're managing even one other thing (much less two or three). Being a good social media manager is more than posting the occasional Facebook status update or tweet. It involves deliberate strategy and consistent research…things that will take time if done well.
- Can this person use the appropriate voice for your social media? Are they speaking to your target customer? Does the tone of their postings match your brand? Writing in someone else's voice is hard; it's probably one of the hardest things about being a social media manager, and many amateurs take shortcuts by using the same voice for all their clients. You need someone who will take the time to truly learn how to speak in the voice of your brand, and there's no "quick fix" for that.
- Can this person handle a crisis? No one likes thinking about what to do if things go bad, but it's absolutely necessary to have a crisis plan in place and someone who's experienced in crisis management behind the public face of your brand. This isn't a job for interns. It's easy to be likable when everyone loves you, but what do you do when the tide has turned? Note: the answer isn't always as simple as giving in. It takes an experienced social media manager to know how to handle things when everyone hates you…which can happen all too quickly in the fast moving online world. You need someone who can coordinate with both you and your team to make sure your response is consistent, on target, and appropriate to the crisis.
Why Hire The Lingerie Addict?
Some of you may know that I used to offer social media consulting for lingerie brands, and one of the things I did was teach them how to manage their own platforms. I loved doing that, but again and again, my clients would say, "This is a LOT of work. Can't you just do it for me?" And they're right. It is a lot of work. There's no way to fake a comprehensive social media presence. You're either putting in the time or you aren't. But not every business owner has the hours it takes to research an editorial calendar, create unique posts, and (most importantly of all) write a personal response to potential customers. Unfortunately, we're all working with the same 24 hour day here.
I know what it's like to run a small business. I know what it's like to have a lot of things you want to do and a priority list a mile long. I know what it's like to watch other brands take off and "go viral" and to wonder when your moment to shine will come. I know what it's like to have a message you believe the world needs to hear.
I built the social media following for my own blog, The Lingerie Addict, from 0 to nearly 200,000. I know how to build something from scratch when you don't have an enormous advertising budget or a huge PR team. And I know lingerie inside and out. This isn't about theories and guesswork and "hoping for the best." This is about using the same tools and strategies I implement on my own social platforms for yours. And I'll manage your online presence with the same level of care and attention to detail that I manage my own.
Brands hire The Lingerie Addict for 3 reasons:
- Growth
- Consistency
- Return on investment
When it comes to growth, we're talking raw numbers – likes, follows, shares, reblogs, retweets, etc. They're not the only or even the most important metric for social media, but believe me when I say people pay attention to them. It makes a difference if you have 50,000 followers vs. 5,000.
Consistency matters because the best way to build your online presence is to work on it every single day. Yes, that includes weekends and holidays. We live in a 24-hr society now. If you're going three weeks between Facebook posts and tweets, that's 2 weeks and 6 days too long. Hiring me to do this for you frees up your time for other things yet still makes sure it gets done. And let me tell you, I spend a lot of time checking in with my clients' social platforms.
Finally, let's talk ROI (return on investment). While growth matters and consistency matters, the biggest thing any brand wants to see is an increase in dollars. We'll work together to build your sales funnel and set achievable goals that matter to you, whether it's more page views, more newsletter subscribers, or, yes, more sales. After all, you are in business.
Packages and Pricing:
I don't do cookie cutter plans. Every strategy is hand-tailored for my clients needs. But I do believe it's important to keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I'm not the cheapest social media manager out there, and I never will be. I spend too much time on my clients to offer cutthroat rates. I'll be honest here. If finding the absolute lowest price is the only thing that matters to you, then we're probably not a good fit. I want to work with clients who value their online presence enough to invest in it, not clients who are willing to settle for anything if it means a bargain basement deal.
I strongly suggest a minimum starting budget of $1,200/month for new clients. Below that, it's difficult to put together a strategy that adequately and effectively reaches your customer base for even one platform (remember: we're talking hours of research and planning before first post is even made). From that starting figure, pricing varies based on the amount of platforms managed and the number of daily updates posted to each site. Add-ons like ad management and blogging strategies are also available. Please be prepared to share your web address, current social media platforms, and your budget in the initial communication.
What's Next?
If you're interested in bringing me on as your social media manager, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. While I am more than happy to answer any questions via email, I am unable to field inquiries via blog comments or social media messages. I am also available for a 15-minute phone Q & A, but please note that I'm unable to give social media strategies during said conversation. I'm looking forward to talking with you soon!
Working with The Lingerie Addict for almost a year now has been a true eye opener when it comes to social media. Even though we have been in business since 1995, we launched our website Karnationlingerie.com only 2 years ago.
The online business is much different than running physical lingerie boutiques. Cora has helped us effectively communicate our knowledge and expertise with customers worldwide. She has provided us with useful information and offered key suggestions to grow our branding presence through social media. Cora has successfully incorporated our individual business needs and answered all of our questions professionally. She is reliable and proves to be extremely thorough.

I/P Engine, Inc. v. AOL, Inc. et al
Filing 861
Reply to 809 Bill of Costs I/P Engine, Inc.'s Reply In Support of Its Bill of Costs filed by I/P Engine, Inc.. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1, # 2 Exhibit 2)(Sherwood, Jeffrey)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA NORFOLK DIVISION __________________________________________ ) I/P ENGINE, INC., ) ) Plaintiff, ) v. ) Civ. Action No. 2:11-cv-512 ) AOL, INC. et al., ) ) Defendants. ) __________________________________________) I/P ENGINE, INC.'S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF ITS BILL OF COSTS I. INTRODUCTION Defendants' Opposition attempts to gloss over three crucial facts: (1) I/P Engine won on every issue it presented at trial regarding the infringement and validity of the two patents-in-suit; (2) the jury awarded I/P Engine damages consistent with its request, i.e., a reasonable running royalty at the requested royalty rate (though not the full total damages amount requested); and (3) the discovery and trial in this case was focused and limited to Google's AdWords system.1 Instead of acknowledging these facts, Defendants attempt to unnecessarily apportion the costs associated with the AdWords system and, at all costs, avoid admitting that I/P Engine is the prevailing party. Defendants cannot avoid any of these facts. I/P Engine is the prevailing party on every issue presented at trial under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54. Buckhannon Bd. & Care Home, Inc. v. W. Va. Dept. of Health and Human Res., 121 S.Ct. 1835, 1839 (2001) (the Supreme Court has defined a prevailing party as "[a] party in whose 1 Just like Defendants' use of the term, I/P Engine's use of the term "the AdWords system" includes Defendants' use of the accused AdSense for Search system, AdSense for Mobile Search system and AOL Search Marketplace system – the four systems tried before the jury in this case. favor judgment is rendered, regardless of the amount of damages awarded."). Further, because discovery and trial was limited to only the AdWords system, no unnecessary apportionment is required to I/P Engine's Bill of Costs. Thus, this Court should approve all of I/P Engine's requests in its amended Bill of Costs.2 II. ARGUMENT Defendants do not object to $41,089.30 in costs sought by I/P Engine. Defendants do object to nine of I/P Engine's requests: (1) $21,736.55 in costs for video-taped depositions, (2) $2,541.75 for its patent-related costs, (3) $3,101.59 in costs for research materials, (4) $3,505.26 in costs for deposition transcripts and videos for Messrs. Andrew Perlman, Alexander Berger, Donald Kosak and Andrew Ken Lang, (5) $22,730.35 in costs for expedited transcripts, (6) $3,596.60 in costs for Mr. Perlman's travel related to trial and $1,068.00 in costs for Mr. Perlman's subsistence (lodging) related to trial, (7) $5,545.92 in costs for Mr. Kosak's travel related to trial and his deposition and $2,039 in costs for Mr. Kosak's subsistence (lodging) related to trial, (8) $2,742.72 in costs for Mr. Lang's travel related to trial and $1,335.00 in costs for Mr. Lang's subsistence (lodging) related to trial, (9) $2,906.18 in costs for Dr. Stephen Becker's travel related to trial and $2,670.00 in costs for I/P Engine's experts' subsistence (lodging) related to trial, and (10) $68,496.61 for vendor's services in preparing and presenting trial exhibits. Defendants additionally request that I/P Engine's costs be apportioned by 60% because I/P Engine voluntarily dismissed some of the accused products in this case prior to trial. 2 I/P Engine is filing concurrently herewith an Amended Bill of Costs to withdraw its request for $68,496.61 for vendor's services in preparing and presenting trial exhibits. Although the bill of costs is within this Court's discretion, I/P Engine has decided to withdraw its request. 2 Opposition at 16. Defendants' arguments and objections, for at least the reasons set forth below, are without merit. Consistent with its compromise proposal submitted to Defendants regarding the Bill of Costs before they filed their Opposition, which Defendants refused, I/P Engine withdraws its request for $68,496.61 for vendor's services in preparing and presenting trial exhibits. I/P Engine maintains all of its other requests. Accordingly, concurrently herewith, I/P Engine respectfully submits an amended Bill of Costs (See Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Charles J. Monterio, Jr. In Support of I/P Engine Inc.'s Reply In Support of Its Bill of Costs), for the convenience of this Court, to reflect I/P Engine's amended request for $113,425.25 in costs. A. I/P Engine's Bill of Costs Should Not Be Apportioned Because of Other Accused Products That Are Unrelated to the Costs Included in I/P Engine's Bill of Costs Defendants argue that I/P Engine has "made no effort to apportion its requests for costs to account for the costs it incurred in litigating the claims against AOL's Advertising.com Sponsored Listings, just as it failed to apportion costs from the other dismissed systems." Opposition at 3. However, I/P Engine does not seek, and has not requested, costs associated with any of those dismissed systems. All of the costs sought by I/P Engine are related to the limited discovery conducted in this case or for trial itself. For example, with respect to AOL's Advertising.com Sponsored Listings system, AOL and I/P Engine agreed before AOL's depositions began that I/P Engine would not seek discovery (or ask any questions) related to AOL's Advertising.com Sponsored Listings system. Exhibit 1. I/P Engine conducted its discovery in accordance with that agreement. Nor can it be disputed that AOL's Advertising.com Sponsored Listings system was not an accused system during trial in this case and thus any cost incurred at trial cannot be associated with that system. 3 Additionally, with respect to Google Search, I/P Engine did not depose – or even request for deposition – any of Google's employees identified in any of Google's Initial Disclosures as knowledgeable about the Google Search system. The same applies to the witnesses identified in IAC Search & Media's Initial Disclosures that were knowledgeable about IAC's Sponsored Listings system. Of course, because those systems were not at issue during trial, no cost incurred during trial can be apportioned to these systems. In short, because no relevant discovery was conducted related to the dismissed systems and those systems were not at issue during trial, no cost included in I/P Engine's Bill of Costs can be related to those systems and all of I/P Engine's requested costs are recoverable under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54. Defendants' "apportionment" argument is meritless and should be ignored. B. I/P Engine's Patent-Related Materials Request is Appropriate Under the Taxation of Costs Guidelines Defendants contend that I/P Engine's request for costs associated with patent-related materials should be stricken. Opposition at 6. Section 7(A)(5) of this Court's Guidelines on taxation, however, states that "[t]he cost of patent file wrappers and prior art patent are taxable at the rate charged by the patent office." I/P Engine's request is consistent with that statement. I/P Engine ordered the patent file histories for the patents-in-suit as well as the related patents in the patent family. As Defendants admit, the patents-in-suit were necessarily obtained for use in this case. Opposition at 7. Equally so, the related patents and their file histories were necessarily obtained for use in this case. Although the issue of any priority claim of the patentsin-suit to its parent did not ultimately reach trial in this case, it certainly was an issue during the case that I/P Engine needed to consider. Moreover, the related patents could have become relevant to this case with respect to the "mind pool" issue that was discussed during trial if this Court had ruled differently. Because these issues were at play, the copies of the patents-in-suit, 4 the related patents and their file histories were necessarily obtained for use in this case. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $2,541.75 for its patent-related costs. C. I/P Engine's Research Materials Request is Appropriate Under the Taxation of Costs Guidelines Defendants unexplainably contend that I/P Engine's request for costs for research materials should be stricken. Opposition at 7. Section 7(A)(1) of this Court's Guidelines on taxation specifically states that "[t]he reasonable cost of copies of papers necessarily obtained from third-party custodians is taxable." I/P Engine's request fits squarely into that category. I/P Engine ordered books and research materials that were necessary in this case, e.g., they were used during this Court's Markman hearing, during depositions, and during trial. Thus, Defendants' argument is unfounded. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $3,101.59 for its research material costs. D. I/P Engine is Entitled to its Request for Costs Associated with Video-Taped Depositions Defendants contend that the costs of video-taped depositions are not taxable. Opposition at 8. However, courts in this circuit have allowed taxation of costs necessarily incurred in videotaping depositions where both parties videotaped depositions and obtained copies of video depositions of the other, and no objection to dual modes of recording was made at the time the deposition was noticed. See, e.g., BCD, LLC v. BMW Mfg. Co., Civ. A. No. 6:05-cv-02152GRA, 2008 WL 724061, at *1-2 (D.S.C. Mar. 17, 2008) (citing Preis v. Lexington Ins. Co., 2007 WL 3120268, at *3 (S.D. Ala. Oct. 22, 2007) (quoting Morrison v. Reichold Chems., Inc., 97 F.3d 406, 464-65 (11th Cir. 1996))). In fact, this Court has allowed taxation of costs associated with videotaping depositions. Mann v. Heckler & Koch Def., Inc., Case No. 1:08-cv-611-JCC, 2011 WL 1599580, at *6 (E.D. Va. Apr. 28, 2011). Similar to the prevailing parties referred to in the BCD, LLC case, I/P Engine noticed all of its depositions in question by stenographic and 5 video means. Defendants did not object at the time and should be deemed to have waived such objections. Furthermore, Defendants noticed all of their depositions by stenographic and video means as well. The necessity of the stenographic transcripts is apparent – many excerpts were used in I/P Engine's pretrial and trial motions, and the original transcript served a valuable purpose. As for the videotapes, Defendants do not dispute that videotaped deposition testimony is far more compelling to the jury than the "dry page." See Williams v. Bd. Of Comm'rs, 938 F. Supp. 852, 862 (S.D. Ga. 1996) (taxing costs of video depositions). While excerpting deposition testimony for written motions will suffice, the jury cannot be expected to judge the credibility and weigh the testimony of the written word, but needs to consider the witness as if they were testifying live at trial, as approximated by videotape. Thus, the cost for videotapes was also a necessary expense incurred by I/P Engine. Defendants raise a red herring that certain depositions were not necessary because they were not ultimately used at trial. This argument fails to consider the fact that they were necessarily obtained for use in the case at the time they were taken. All of these witnesses, except those for defendant Gannett, reside outside of Virginia, and I/P Engine reasonably had to anticipate that it would rely upon their videotaped deposition testimony at trial. Further, Defendants never provided assurances that they would have its witnesses in attendance, which would allow I/P Engine to forgo videotaping the depositions. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $21,736.55 in costs sought for videotaping depositions. Cherry v. Champion Int'l Corp., 186 F.3d 442, 449 (4th Cir. 1999) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1920(2)) (fees for videography of a deposition are available when necessarily obtained for use in the case). 6 E. I/P Engine is Entitled to its Costs for Expedited Deposition Fees Defendants contend that I/P Engine is not entitled to costs associated with expedited transcript fees because the depositions could have occurred earlier. Opposition at 10. Defendants' argument is without merit. Where reasonably justified, expedited costs, i.e., rush fees, are indeed taxable. See e.g., Mann, 2011 WL 1599580, at *4-5; Ferris v. AAF-McQuay, Inc., Case No. 5:06-cv-82, 2008 WL 495656, at *1 (W.D. Va. Feb. 21, 2008). I /P Engine requests costs for the expedited transcripts for Messrs. Ortega, Cook, Diorio, Fox, and Culliss, and Drs. Ungar and Ugone. Expedited service was necessary because all of these depositions were taken in the final weeks of discovery either because of Defendants' conduct or based on the scheduling order in this case. For example, I/P Engine was forced to compel the depositions of Messrs. Cook, Diorio and Fox – who were all Google employees that were identified to I/P Engine by Google documents and/or other Google witnesses – due to Google's refusal to make witnesses available.3 The depositions of Drs. Ungar and Ugone occurred days before Defendants filed their summary judgment motion and within weeks of this Court's scheduled trial date. Because of the circumstances, the costs for the expedited transcripts were necessary given this Court's scheduling order, the dates of these depositions (August and September), Defendants' summary judgment motion (September), and the quickly approaching trial date in this case (October). I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $22,730.55 in costs sought for expedited transcript costs. 3 Google refused to make witnesses who were not listed on its Initial Disclosures available for deposition. See D.I. 177. 7 F. I/P Engine's Request for Taxation Related to the Depositions of I/P Engine's Own Witnesses is Permissible Defendants contend that the taxation of costs for transcripts for one's own witnesses is improper. Opposition at 9. This could not be further from the truth, because the witnesses at issue were necessary. Defendants do not fundamentally disagree with I/P Engine that stenographer fees and costs of deposition transcripts are properly taxed, but posit that I/P Engine is not entitled to costs associated with its own witnesses. Defendants specifically object to the costs associated with the depositions of Messrs. Perlman, Berger, Kosak and Lang. These objections are unfounded. Mr. Kosak and Mr. Lang are the inventors of the patents-in-suit – their testimony is, of course, relevant and necessary. For example, their testimony is at least relevant to Defendants' counterclaims that were tried before the jury in this case. The same is true for Mr. Perlman and Mr. Berger. Defendants provide no reason why the costs associated with these witnesses should not be recovered. Defendants instead rely on the conclusion of one case, In re D&B Countryside, LLC (217 B.R. 72, 79-80 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 1998)), to support their position. However, that case simply states that a plaintiff is not entitled to costs of deposition transcripts for its own witnesses unless they are necessary. The depositions of Messrs. Lang, Kosak, Perlman and Berger were certainly necessary because "[i]n order for the deposition to be necessary, it needs only to be 'relevant and material' for the preparation in the litigation." Ford v. Zalco Realty, Inc., 708 F.Supp.2d 558, 562 (E.D. Va. 2010) (citing Cofield v. Crumpler, 179 F.R.D. 510, 518 (E.D. Va.1998)). Additionally even if it is not used at trial, "[a] deposition taken within the proper bounds of discovery" is normally "deemed to be necessarily obtained for use in the case." Cofield, 179 F.R.D. at 518 (internal citations omitted). Here, the deposition transcripts of Messrs. Lang, Kosak, Perlman and Berger were relevant and material for the preparation of this case and should 8 be deemed "necessarily obtained for use in this case." Hence, Defendants' reliance on In re D&B Countryside is misplaced. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $3,505.26 in costs sought for deposition costs. G. I/P Engine is Entitled to Mr. Perlman's Travel and Subsistence Fees Defendants contend that the costs associated with Mr. Perlman's travel and subsistence are improper because they believe the costs are unreasonable. Opposition at 11-12. Defendants' argument is without merit. Under Section 6(A)(1) and (2) of the Guidelines, Mr. Perlman's fees are allowable because he was necessary at trial and all of the travel fees billed are associated with when this Court adjourned for weekends or other appropriate reasons. Defendants rely on three cases to support their argument that they should not bear the costs related to Mr. Perlman's attendance at trial because he was I/P Engine's corporate representative. Opposition at 11-12. However, Goldstein v. Costco Wholesale Corp., No. 021520-A, 2004 U.S. Dist. Lexis 22041, at *13-14 (E.D. Va. June 14, 2004), Schmitz -Werke GMBH & Co. v. Rockland Indus., Inc., 271 F. Supp. 2d 734, 736 (D. Md. 2003), and EEOC v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 114 F.R.D. 615, 624 (N.D. Ill. 1987), are inapplicable in this instance. Those cases stand for the proposition that the taxation of costs for the portion of a witness' time when he was serving as a corporate representative is at the court's discretion. Thus, under the law and contrary to Defendants' assertions, this Court may award I/P Engine's request. Defendant's additional reliance on Green Const. Co. v. Kansas Power & Light Co. (153 F.R.D. 670, 681 (D. Kan. 1994)) to propose that this Court should reduce Mr. Perlman's taxable costs to one round trip ticket is unfounded. Opposition at 12. The court in Green Const. anchored its decision solely to the language of 28 U.S.C. § 1821(c)(1). Here, this Court has Guidelines that specifically denote that taxation will be allowed for travel expenses associated 9 with when the court adjourns for a weekend or for other appropriate reasons. See Guidelines §§ 6(A)(1)-(2). Hence, Defendants' reliance on Green Const. is misplaced and inapplicable. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $3,596.60 and $1,068.00, respectively, in costs sought for Mr. Perlman's travel and subsistence costs. H. I/P Engine's Request for Mr. Kosak's Travel Expenses is Appropriate Defendants contend that Mr. Kosak's travel expenses should be stricken from I/P Engine's Bill of Costs because they are not reasonable expenses under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1920 and 1821. Opposition at 13. While it is true that Section 1821(c)(1) limits the amount of travel expense to that of "a common carrier at the most economical rate reasonably available," there is no evidence that Mr. Kosak's travel expenses would have been drastically less expensive in this instance. I/P Engine's request reflects two round-trip business class airfares for Mr. Kosak from Hilo, Hawaii to Washington, DC (for his deposition) and to Norfolk, VA (for trial), respectively. Each trip comprised of four connecting flights over a 15-hour time period. It is not unreasonable under the circumstances to fly business class given the distance, the four connecting flights, and the amount of travel time involved. In this instance, it was commercially reasonable for Mr. Kosak to travel by business class to and from his deposition and trial, particularly in light of the current unreliability of commercial airline schedules. See Rapoca Energy Company, L.P. v. AMCI Expert Corp., No. 1:00-cv-00162, 2001 WL 855896, at*2 (W.D. Va. July 30, 2001) (finding it commercially reasonable under § 1821(c)(1) to travel by chartered flight when the situation warrants it). I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $5,545.92 in costs for Mr. Kosak's travel related to trial and his deposition.4 4 Furthermore, the cost for two round-trip unrestricted coach airfares from Hilo, Hawaii to Washington, DC (for his deposition) and to Norfolk, VA (for trial), respectively, for similar dates would have been approximately $7,500.00 ($3,501.00/each). Exhibit 2, ¶ 4. 10 I. I/P Engine's Request for Dr. Becker's Travel Expenses is Appropriate Defendants only complaint with respect to Dr. Becker's travel expenses is that "there are no receipts included with [Dr. Becker's] invoice, so there is no way to evaluate whether Dr. Becker's travel costs were taxable." Opposition at 15. Defendants do not contend that the costs for Dr. Becker's travel expenses are inappropriate or unwarranted. In fact, as they admit, "Defendants have agreed to pay the expenses for Drs. Frieder and Carbonell," I/P Engine's other experts in this case. Thus, with the receipts, it is reasonable to believe that Defendants would likewise agree to pay the expenses for Dr. Becker. In direct response to Defendants' concern, I/P Engine requested those receipts from Dr. Becker and recently received them (and have attached them hereto). As the receipts show, each of Dr. Becker's expenses are rightfully recoverable under the Guidelines, as well as Sections 1920 and 1821.5 Consequently, I/P Engine should be allowed the entire revised $1,956.78 in costs for Dr. Becker's travel related to trial and his deposition. J. I/P Engine's Request for Messrs. Kosak and Lang's and I/P Engine's Experts' Subsistence Costs are Appropriate Defendants contend that I/P Engine is not entitled to the subsistence costs for Messrs. Kosak and Lang and for I/P Engine's experts because, based on the Guidelines, Defendants should not be responsible for costs incurred beyond a single day for deposition and the days during which each of them testified at trial. Opposition at 13, 14 and 15. However, the very first sentence of this Court's Guidelines on taxation states that "[t]he following statement does not purport to be a unanimous practice of this court"; nor are the Guidelines binding. See Cofield, 179 F.R.D. at 516 n.5. 5 I/P Engine's request has been adjusted from $2,906.18 to $1,956.78. This adjustment is because Dr. Becker was unable to locate one receipt corresponding to the remaining travel costs, and thus I/P Engine accordingly withdraws its request for the difference. 11 In this case, it was reasonable and necessary for I/P Engine to keep these witnesses in Norfolk, even after the witness had testified at trial. For example, Defendants preserved their right to recall Dr. Frieder during trial and thus made it mandatory for I/P Engine to keep Dr. Frieder in Norfolk for additional nights. Trial Tr. at 738:12-13 (this Court states "Dr. Frieder, you're not excused. You are still available if needed to be called back."). Because of instances like this, it was necessary for I/P Engine to incur additional subsistence costs associated with Messrs. Lang and Kosak as well as its experts beyond the days in which they actually testified at trial. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $2,039.00, $1,335.00, and $2,670.00, respectively, in costs for the subsistence costs for Messrs. Lang and Kosak and I/P Engine's experts related to trial. K. I/P Engine is Entitled to Mr. Lang's Travel Fees Defendants contend that the costs associated with Mr. Lang's subsistence fees are improper because they believe the costs are unreasonable. Opposition at 14. Defendants' argument is without merit. Under Section 6(A)(1) and (2) of the Guidelines, Mr. Lang's fees are allowable because he was necessary at trial, as described above, and all of the travel fees billed are associated with when this Court adjourned for weekends or other appropriate reasons.6 Further, it is within this Court's discretion to award these costs. I/P Engine should be allowed the entire $2,742.72 in costs sought for Mr. Lang's subsistence costs. 6 Defendants' argument that Mr. Lang did something wrong by buying two airline tickets on the same day is misleading. As his records reflect, Mr. Lang did buy two one-way airline tickets (one from Norfolk to New York and one from New York back to Norfolk) to travel home to New York, New York, for the weekend during trial. As explained above, Mr. Lang is allowed under the Guidelines to do so and thus both airline tickets are rightfully included and are taxable. 12 III. CONCLUSION Accordingly, I/P Engine respectfully requests that this Court enter an award of costs under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1) in favor of I/P Engine, as the prevailing party, in the amount of $113,425.25, or such other amount as this Court deems appropriate. Dated: January 25, 2013 By: /s/ Jeffrey K.

Best Beauty Products of 2012
Discover new cosmetics that get the job done better than the rest
By Woman's Day Staff
At-home Gel Manicures
Known for their durability (think two weeks or more without chipping), gel manicures are the newest nail craze. At the salon, a gel will run you $50 to $75, but now DIY kits and polishes are popping up for much less. Typically sold with an LED light (to "set" your manicure) or an adhesive base coat, at-home gels promise to last the standard 14 days and save you money in the long run. Here are two standouts to try:
Unlike most salon gel manis, Nutra Nail Gel Perfect ($11.99, at Rite Aid stores) uses an activator base coat instead of an LED light to help create a shiny, solid finish. Though this gel "dried within 5 minutes," one user reported that "it didn't last as long as a salon gel" (only eight days). But the "convenience of doing your nails at home is worth the slightly shortened life span."
The LED lamp included with the SensatioNail By Nailene Invincible Gel Polish Starter Kit ($60, at Walmart stores) explains the hefty price tag. While the starter polish is good for 10 manicures, you can buy larger bottles separately. The tester's verdict: "I've had gels done at the salon before and this one lasted just as long13 days straight!"

Burton boss Gary Rowett was impressed by young midfielder Adam Drury on his Albion debut.
Drury joined the League Two club on loan from Manchester City at the end of last week and was put straight into the team for the FA Cup third-round clash against Leicester on Saturday.
The teenage winger played 73 minutes at the King Power Stadium before being substituted.
Following the 2-0 defeat to the Foxes, Rowett said: "I thought Adam did excellent for a 19-year-old coming out and playing his first senior game in the FA Cup at Leicester.
"It was a real challenge for him and we were obviously concerned how he would handle that.
"We threw him in because we had nothing to lose and I thought he showed us what he's got. He was lively, he ran in behind and he had a bit of pace and purpose about him.
"I certainly think he'll cause a few League Two left-backs a bit of a problem."

Subtitle: The Incredible True Story of an American WWII Bomber Commander and the Co-Pilot Ordered to Kill Him
Werner Goering was a B-17 pilot who completed 49 daylight bombing missions over Germany during World War II. What he didn't know was that co-pilot Jack Rencher had orders from the FBI to kill him rather than allow him to land his plane or be taken as a prisoner of war in Germany. Why? The pilot was the nephew of the Nazi second-in-command Hermann Göring. His falling into German hands, either as a defector or POW, would have been a propaganda coup for the Nazis.
Although I've read quite a lot about the Eighth Air Force, which my father served in as a B-17 mechanic, none brought home the sacrifices the men made in such vivid detail as Hell above Earth. I loved the detailed explanations the author provided about the flight training, the conditions aboard the bombers, even about the Quonset huts that housed the airmen in England and elsewhere.
I also liked the author's writing style, and that he occasionally allowed his narrative to veer into the moderately crude language that was part and parcel of the airmen's lives. Stephen Frater writes as a journalist, not as an historian, so the text is not interrupted with footnotes, although readers will find adequate sourcing in the back notes. The bibliography gave me a few ideas for further reading, including a book, The Writing 69th (by Jim Hamilton), about war correspondents.
Although I hate it when reviewers mention a surprise ending, I will say the author's dogged pursuit of the story leads to quite a surprise at the end. Hell above Earth was an altogether engaging read, one that will give readers new appreciation of the sacrifices of "The Greatest Generation"

How to clear all website data from Safari on iPhone and iPad
Whether you know it or not, your iPhone and iPad actually tracks what you're doing in Safari for several reasons. The main ones being to speed up browsing and to store logins. On the down side, website data can also be used for tracking purposes. If you'd rather not have sites track you, clearing out this data now and again is a good idea.
Here's how:
- Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap on Safari.
- Again, scroll down to the bottom and tap on Advanced.
- Now tap on Website Data.
- This is where you'll see all the sites storing data via Safari. Scroll to the botom and tap on Remove All Website Data.
- You'll be asked to confirm you'd like to delete all data with a detailed explanation of what it does. Just tap Remove Now to confirm.
That's it. All the website data currently stored on your iPhone or iPad is now gone. Depending on how much you browse, you may have noticed lots of data being stored. This is also a way to free up a little storage space now and again if you find yourself running dangerously low.

This was the first time my condition was ever really explained to me in detail. I felt very confident and relieved for my condition. It wasn't as serious as what I had thought.UofU Patient November 18, 2013
I normally see Dr. Kraiss but Dr. Kinikini made me feel comfortable.UofU Patient October 14, 2013
This care provider is wonderful. I felt comfortable with him.UofU Patient July 22, 2013
We have been working with Dr. Kinikini for about 1 year for this problem. And each visit he has completely explained everything. the progress we have made, what to expect. I have been completely satisfied with the care and concern him and his staff have shown us each time we have been there. I also appreciate how willing they are to help schedule things for us. We live two plus hours away, and if there is multiple things to be done, they go above and beyond to get them scheduled for the same day.UofU Patient May 27, 2013

Dr. Kinikini and Dr. Working were great! They answered all questions and concerns. Great bedside (or in this case, exam table side) personality.UofU Patient December 10, 2012
My experience was both good and bad. While I feel confident in the physician, he also made me feel that my case was very low on his priority of cases. While I understand that he may deal with many more complex conditions than mine--giving me confidence in his care--the net result was that I left feeling that he felt I had wasted his time. I still have not heard back from his assistant that was supposed to schedule my appointment to fix my veins, although it's been more than a week.UofU Patient November 19, 2012

reviews & comments (5)
This was okay in my estimation. The shrimp has a nice "kick" to it and is very flavorful. For those with a sensitive mouth, decreasing the spices is advised (maybe half the amount of garlic and cayenne?). The rice is good with the shrimp, but is nothing spectacular on its own (which is probably the intention as the shrimp is spicy enough for both). A nice venture into a new shrimp recipe, but will probably never make again.
At the suggestion of other reviewers, I added onion, but I also added some cajun seasoning I had to the shrimp, and then added some chopped parsley in at the end. It was delicious! Very simple, quick, and easy: perfect for a weeknight dinner.
I also added onions, but i also added a little honey. It gave it a litt sweetness to it without losing the flavor.
extremely yummy. I added onions though and think it made all the difference. Would also go for fresh thyme.

Bridal Makeup Trends for 2013
When it comes to the details of your wedding, you'll find yourself focusing on making the aesthetic perfect. But the most important decoration of the day is you! Since you've spent so much time and energy searching for the perfect dress, you'll need the perfect face to go with it. Check out these 3 makeup trends that are just right or any girl's special day. -Ariel Leconte
This is one of the simplest yet boldest looks you can put out there on your wedding day. It's important to svoid an overload of makeup, you don't want to look like a drag queen ( at least not today). Minimizing the colors are your face and sticking a clean polished looked will ensure that your man still recognizes the woman he's marrying. Throwing in a bold lip is like having sickening shoes to go with the dress, everything else is so simple that your lips say everything, including I Do!
Tyra always said you have got to smile with your eyes! Well if your eyes are what you like the best then you'll want to play up your lashes and edges to help you smize to the photographer all night long. Consider false lashes, but not full ones, have a professional install the individuals so they can customize the way it fills in your eyes. Once you have a full set of lashes, very carefully play up the rims of your eyes with a thin cat eye thats blended into just a little bit of smokey shadow. You aren't going for a smokey look here, you just want dramatic eyes. You can leave your face nude and either go with a nude lip as well or pick a light but bold pop of color. Avoid pure red lipstick, too much smizing and some deep red ips may have you looking more like Morticia on your special day!
Go For The Glitter
Now when is glitter ever really subtle? Just a little goes a long way and some of us just can't help but to want that sparkle on such a special day. Picking a neutral colored small grain glitter shadow to dust on your lids and very delicately around the eyes is a beautiful way to highlight your face and give you a very whimsical, I-am-Cinderella-today, type of look. Take it easy on the cat eye liner and try to avoid heavily colored glitter because then you run the risk of drifting into a clownish look (see above). Highlight your cheeks just a little and add a neutral or lightly colored lipstick to finish it off and voila, you're beauty rivals the Disney princess on their storybook days!

DCU Bulletin
New Law on Residential Mortgage Lending Practices
June 10, 2008
Effective June 12, 2008, credit unions that do residential mortgage lending must comply with a new state law (SHB 2770, Chapter 108, Laws of 2008).
Some of the law's requirements are as follows:
- A new mortgage disclosure summary form must be provided at the time of loan application or within three business days. The disclosure summary must include fees, discount points, interest rate, broker's yield spread premium, presence of prepayment penalties and a balloon payment, whether property taxes and insurance are escrowed, and other key terms and conditions of the loan.
- New rules implementing recent federal "Guidance on Non-Traditional Mortgage Product Risks" and the federal "Statement on Subprime Mortgage Lending" ("The Guidance").
- Prohibition on negative amortization on Non-Traditional or Subprime residential mortgages.
- Prohibitions on prepayment penalties that extend beyond 60 days prior to the initial reset of an adjustable rate mortgage.
- Criminal penalties for mortgage fraud
Credit unions must comply with all elements of the new law, beginning June 12, 2008. The Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) is in the process of developing rules pertaining to the new mortgage disclosure summary form and the federal Guidance. The rulemaking process begins in June, and DFI will hold hearings, seek comments, and provide rule-making records and proposed drafts of the rules.
PLEASE NOTE that during the time required for rulemaking, credit unions are not exempt from complying with the provisions of the new law. Therefore, credit unions should seek legal counsel and take other appropriate steps to comply with the law and minimize legal risk.
To help credit unions while the rulemaking process is pending, a provisional suggested model disclosure summary form will be made available by DFI on our website.
You can read the new law, along with a summary Bill Report by going to this link: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2007-08/Pdf/Bills/Session%20Law%202008/2770-S.SL.pdf.
You can read the "Guidance" at: http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2006/pr06086b.pdf and http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2007/pr07055a.html.
Please review these documents to ensure your credit union's readiness for the new law.
If you have any questions, please call Joanne Conrad, Regulatory Analyst, at (360) 902-8813 or call Linda Jekel, Director of Credit Unions at (360) 902-8778.

How to Teach Your Dog to Herd
Herding sheep is an instinct for many breeds of dogs, including German Shepherds, Border Collies, and Australian Shepherds. Dogs are still used around the world on working farms to herd sheep, as a machine cannot replicate the mind of an instinctive canine. This does not mean that dogs are born knowing precisely how to do it; it does take diligent training from an experienced handler to teach a dog to herd sheep efficiently. Once you have learned the basics, you can start teaching your dog to herd sheep.
1Teach your dog basic training tricks such as sit, come, lie down, and heel. Unless your dog knows how to be obedient off-leash and listen to you despite distractions, training to herd sheep will be difficult, if not impossible.Ad
2Teach your dog how to follow directional movement and go where you ask it to. Tie the dog to the end of a long stick and point it in different directions, forcing the dog to move where the stick is pointing to. Combine this with repetitive verbal commands so your dog learns the association.
3Instruct your dog to flank the sheep by moving in a zig-zag pattern behind the sheep, keeping a safe distance from the herd. This is the best way to move the sheep forward in a straight line without scattering the herd formation.
4Cue your dog to move in a clockwise and counter-clockwise circle around the herd. Use hand signals and vocal cues to direct the dog. This is one way to stop sheep from moving or to turn them the direction you wish to go.
5Work the dog on young sheep that are less than one year old. These sheep are more trainable, and allow for a greater margin of error. Use at least five sheep so that they have a herd mentality and group up together.
6Practice out in the pasture, giving your dog signals and corrections based on how the sheep move. A dog with good instincts will quickly learn to predict what sheep will do next, and will make a good shepherd.Ad
We could really use your help!

The Best Of The Rest: Julib.com
The sheer number of venues where writers can publish their work never ceases to amaze me. I find walking into a magazine store inspiring because there are so many options. Furthermore, the growth of the Internet has exponentially increased this number. Some of the outlets are covered in our excellent How To Pitch archives. (Self-promoting? Yes. Absolutely true? Certainly.) Others, for any number of reasons, are not. To rectify this situation, I'll use this space to highlight venues for freelancers that might not otherwise see the light of day. It will be fun, I promise.
On tap today, Julib.com.
The fashion e-zine started in 2002 with less than 400 readers. Today, its newsletters targeted to cities including New York, L.A., Miami, and London, reach over 500,000 subscribers. Readers are "mainly women in their late twenties and early thirties, who are sophisticated, sarcastic, and have some money to spend on luxury and fashion," Managing editor John Capone says. "She wants to try the new restaurant with an excellent chef, or the unbelievable new spa. She is hip, educated, and well-traveled."
Between 60 and 70 percent of each newsletter's stories are generated by freelance submissions, so there's room a plenty for writers with their finger on the fashion pulse of a major metropolitan area. "The editorial content aims to be opinionated and entertaining, and above all, useful to our readers," Capone says. "Do not pitch a story that has been covered elsewhere, or anything that is considered old news, or anything that sounds like 'filler." Recent stories penned by freelancers include a travel story about Givenchy's new spa at Cheval Blanc in Courchevel, France, and a feature on Robin Broullette's new boutique in San Fran.
Pay for a story ranges between $30 and $65, but pieces are short and fun to write. So, whether you're a newbie, an experienced freelancer seeking to break into fashion journalism, or simply someone with a great new trend to highlight, Julib.com could be the place for you. Email email@example.com to find out.
Come back next week (same place, same time) for another excellent pitchable option.

Google Glass teardown
by Glass! •
The time is right to tear the Google Glass down to have a look under the hood! What first looked like a mission impossible turned into something not that difficult, well, you need a torx screwdiver, that's it. If you do that the central hardware get visible. After that the plastic was removed which unveiled the sensors. A further tear down means that you have to cut in the plastic which I guess screws up the device but ok…

Google-Yahoo! Deal Not So Far-Fetched
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Over the weekend, it was leaked out that Google (GOOG) was interested in helping at least a couple of private equity players to finance a purchase of Yahoo! (YHOO).
Most folks have protested loudly against this possibility by concluding that such a deal would never get past the U.S. government. Google, with already two-thirds of the market share of the search space, would significantly increase that by taking over Yahoo!'s share and leaving the rest of the market to Bing, Ask Jeeves, and whoever else is left.
Of course, that is right. Google previously tried to strike a deal with Yahoo! after the 2008 Microsoft (MSFT) buyout was pulled and before Carol Bartz signed up to outsource its search to Bing. That potential tie-up between Google and Yahoo! was discouraged by the government.
So why is Google leaking out this information now? These are smart guys. They know that search is a non-starter.One cynical theory is that they have no interest in Yahoo! at all. They're merely trying to seem interested so that Microsoft will be forced to more aggressively bid for Yahoo! With a company that bid "pi" for the Nortel patents before Apple (AAPL) and a consortium of others won them, I suppose anything is possible. However, I just don't see what the point is for Google to do this. Will leaking something cause Microsoft to bid $25 instead of $20 for Yahoo!? That would be the equivalent to an extra $4 billion to Yahoo! shareholders that Microsoft would have to pay out. That's not chump change, but is that really going to hurt Microsoft? And why would Microsoft really take such action based on one leak? Which leads me to conclude that there is real interest by Google in Yahoo! However, I don't think it's for its search business. I think the jewel for Google in the Yahoo! empire is its display ad business. That's a $2 billion a year business for Yahoo! and many believe that Yahoo! is dramatically under-monetizing it. What could it be worth under Google using DoubleClick's technology? $3 billion? $4 billion? Google knows better than us.

Simmons science majors present their research at national chemistry conference
Simmons student presenters in San Diego with Chemistry and Physics Professor Michael Berger.
At Simmons, science and research go hand in hand. Recently, 18 chemistry and biochemistry majors -- including first-year students -- traveled to San Diego to present their science research to more than 16,000 chemistry industry professionals at the 243rd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), considered the premier gathering for the chemistry field in the country.
Chemistry Professor Rich Gurney says the students made such an impression at the conference, themed "Chemistry for Life," that many thought they were graduate students--or even faculty members!
"To have juniors, sophomores, and first-years present their research is practically unheard of," says Professor Gurney, who noted that Simmons is rare among many universities because all undergraduate students conduct their own laboratory research, rather than having to wait until they attend graduate school.
In addition, attending the conference gives students an advantage when looking for jobs or graduate school programs in chemistry. It's the perfect place for students to show off their research, which is handpicked by the ACS.
"The experience of attending the conference and seeing the work done by graduate students and professionals has been eye-opening in what I envision future projects for me will be like," says biochemistry major Vera Kirch '15. "Hearing presentations, both formal and informal, have strengthened my love for research, which is definitely something I'll carry with me beyond Simmons!
This year's research presentations by Simmons students ran the gamut. Everything from an examination of new polymers (the chemical name of plastics), to an analysis of the mud in the Muddy River near Fenway Park was presented.
Read more about the ACS conference from Faces of the Future blogger Andree Sime '15 who details her experience in her latest post, ACS Conference in San Diego.
