Enjoy Your Own Silver Lining In Philadelphia
Itinerary Inspired By Bradley Cooper's Oscar-Nominated Film Silver Linings Playbook
LOCATION: Center City, Philadelphia; South Philadelphia; and the suburbs
TRANSPORTATION: By foot in Center City; by taxi, Septa or car for locations beyond
TIME: An overnight
SUMMARY: Featured on visitphilly.com/itineraries, this jaunt takes visitors to many of the spots featured and mentioned in Philadelphia native Bradley Cooper's hit film, Silver Linings Playbook. (These sites are bolded throughout the itinerary.)
Day One:
12:00 noon – Ballroom at the Ben doesn't appear in the Silver Linings Playbook until Pat's and Tiffany's dramatic dance competition scene at the end of the movie, but you can start your trip to Philadelphia with a buffet lunch at the building's Palace at the Ben, giving the spicy, rich curries of Northern India a stunning ambiance without compromising their authenticity.
1:30 p.m. – After lunch, swing around the corner to Jewelers' Row just as Pat and Tiffany did in the movie. Here you'll find a dizzying selection of sparkle and bling—custom designed jewelry, hand-cut gems, one-of-a-kind estate pieces and other adornments—at more than 300 diamond and jewelry merchants.
3:00 p.m. – Once you've done your share of shopping, plan to get your history on by exploring some of the many Benjamin Franklin sites and memorials found in the city's Old City neighborhood. (These sites aren't in the movie, but Ben is lauded by Pat Sr., who says that Franklin is more American than a cowboy—the mascot of the Philadelphia Eagles' rival Dallas Cowboys.)
- Have your postcards hand-stamped at the B. Free Franklin Post Office, and then head upstairs to the U.S. Postal Service Museum, which explains Franklin's role as the nation's first Postmaster General.
- Steps away at the Print Shop, Franklin's career as a printer is demonstrated using 18th-century printing techniques and machinery. As you walk through the archway leading to the Ghost Structure, designed by architect Robert Venturi to commemorate the place where Franklin's home stood, you'll be following in Franklin's daily footsteps.
7:30 p.m. – If the timing of your trip is right, you can end your night with a Philadanco performance. This renowned dance troupe appears on a poster in Tiffany's in-home dance studio, and they perform at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts each spring and fall. Every other weekend of the year, the Kimmel's other resident companies and visiting artists take the stage.
10:00 p.m. – Grab a bite to eat or drink after the show (or before if you prefer), where acclaimed Garces Catering has recently taken over operations, or make a reservation at one of the many restaurants—Bliss, XIX (Nineteen), Estia, for starters—on or around the Avenue of the Arts.
Day Two:
10:30 a.m. – The Philadelphia skyline is featured prominently in the Silver Linings Playbook, and the tallest of those buildings is the Comcast Center, a 57-floor building that's also the greenest in the country. Start your day with a viewing of The Comcast Experience, depicting realistic nature imagery, urban landscapes and much more on the largest four-millimeter LED screen in the world.
10:45 a.m. – After you've stood in awe of this super-sized screen, head downstairs to The Market & Shops for breakfast or lunch at some of Philly's favorite eateries, such as Di Bruno Bros., Termini Brothers Bakery and more.
11:30 a.m. – Once you've eaten, hail a cab or hop in your car and head south to the Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field, featured prominently in the film. While it's difficult to score tickets for a game, tours of the field are available year-round and include stops at the pressroom, the field, the locker room and more. Before leaving the stadium, stop in the Philadelphia Eagles Pro Shop to pick up a DeSean Jackson #10 jersey similar to the one one Pat wore in the film or a green cardigan sweater like the fanatical Pat Sr. sported. Another great spot to buy authentic football jerseys? Mitchell & Ness, a haven for sports fans in Center City, Philadelphia that carries official reproductions of uniforms worn by professional baseball, basketball and football players, plus T-shirts, hats and other goods.
2:00 p.m. – If you can't leave town without sitting in the booth where Pat and Tiffany had their first non-date on Halloween night, then head northwest of the city to the Llanerch Diner. This 80-plus-year-old Upper Darby institution serves up your standard diner fare, along with Greek specialties such as moussaka, pastitsio and spinach pie, 24/7.

Scrum theory includes time-boxing, and specific roles, rules, and artifacts. All elements of Scrum complement each other to form a consistent whole. All work is performed in Sprints. All base rules, events, and roles are described in the Scrum Guide, the acknowledged Scrum body of knowledge. Each part of Scrum ties back to the principles and theory.
This is foundational knowledge for every Scrum Team member and anyone involved with Scrum. Product Owners know how to take advantage of the business opportunities unlocked with the Scrum framework in delivering value to the market place every 30 days, or less.
Scrum is founded on empirical process theory to deal with the complexity typical to software development. All principles and values of Scrum are based on the fundamental view of software development as creative and complex work.
Product Owners know how to use the empiricism of Scrum to build more valuable products. They understand how to benefit from working with self-organizing Development Teams. They understand how the Scrum principles tie back to the empirical nature of Scrum, and how they are fundamentally different from those applied in more traditional product management.
Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional; which is very different from traditional development groups.
Product Owners acknowledge the self-organizing skills of Development Teams and how Development Teams organize their development work in creating Done Increments of product. Product Owners understand how their accountability is complementary to that of a Development Team, and not conflicting.
Scrum is a foundation to unlock business agility. Scrum in itself however is–by design–incomplete. Agility will be much higher if Scrum is complemented by strategies for Agile product management and when metrics are in place to track the creation and delivery of value to the market place.
A Product Owner is accountable for the Product Backlog, and the ordering of all work that is identified for the product. Product Backlog is used to manage the requirements and can be used to plan releases, and track and report on progress.

Comments about Dunnett Classic Stainless Steel Snare Drum:
I just love this drum.
Comments about Dunnett Classic Stainless Steel Snare Drum:
The entire package is fantastic: fit, finish, hardware, heads, etc. The tone, responsiveness, and fun factor are HUGE!
Wonderful shell that is easy to tune and the best throw-off, period.
Super high quality throughout. Played perfect right out of the box (and I did check tension with my Drum Dial).
You do get what you pay for here -- top snare at top price, and worth every dollar.
Comments about Dunnett Classic Stainless Steel Snare Drum:
I am a professional drummer and have been playing for over 30 years. This snare drum is simply the best sounding and feeling drum I have ever played. Played hundreds of snares in my career and currently own 17 high dollar pro snares, but this drum is my all time favorite. It is hand made by Ron Dunnett of Canada and the attention to detail is amazing. It tunes up perfectly and has a softer feel that you can really lay into. It makes me smile and want to play for hours. It can be quiet and sensitive or powerful and punchy. If I could own only one snare drum, this would be the one. It is a work of art. Great job Ron Dunnett!

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed suit to prevent AT&T (NYSE:T) from acquiring T-Mobile USA for $39 billion. T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom (OTCQX:DTEGY). The DOJ is concerned that the combination of the second and fourth largest U.S. mobile service providers will hurt competition and raise prices. This action will likely benefit the smaller competitors in this business. These antitrust actions usually do just that.
Communication services has been an arms race for quite some time. After spending billions on 3G networks, they are now building 4G networks. This advancement is likely to continue and the DOJ wants that process so that competitors feel the need to constantly improve. The costs involved in constantly updating and growing networks is a considerable barrier to entry by new competitors, but several capable competitors do already exist.
The first and third largest providers are Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and Sprint (NYSE:S), respectively. Sprint has opposed this merger since it was announced, arguing much along the line that the DOJ has now complained. The DOJ argues that T-Mobile USA is an important market competitor, whose absence would lessen pressure to keep profit margins low and/or improve service. For example, both AT&T and Verizon have been reluctant to offer as comprehensive of unlimited service packages, especially for data-hungry smart-phones.
The DOJ indicated that this deal could go through if certain concessions were made, but did not indicate what would be needed. If the merger does not go through, AT&T will be forced to benefit competition by providing Deutsche Telekom with about $3 billion in break-up fees, which it could then use to bolster T-mobile. Alternatively, AT&T could somehow provide a benefit to smaller competitors such as Sprint in an effort to please the DOJ and show it that competition shall not be stifled.
Other communication companies have also announced plans to compete in the wireless business. For example, satellite television provider Dish Network (NASDAQ:DISH) has applied for an FCC permit to build a 4G LTE network. Dish obtained spectrum licensing through the bankruptcy acquisition of TerreStar, a satellite phone provider. Other satellite providers could also theoretically enter this market, such as ViaSat (NASDAQ:VSAT), which already provides satellite voice over IP services, and Iridium Communications (NASDAQ:IRDM), which developed the first whole-earth satellite network.
Major competition may enter the wireless phone and data business in the coming years. Since the development of fiber optic networks, Verizon and AT&T have both offered home-based services that compete cable companies such as Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), Cablevision (NYSE:CVC), Time Warner Cable (TWC) and DirecTV (DTV).
A common bundled service offered by cable and telephone companies is known as the triple play (phone, cable TV and high-speed internet). There appears little reason why AT&T and Verizon could not bundle quad-service, adding mobile device service into the package, and cable providers without satellite networks may find it essential to partner up with the independent mobile service providers in order to offer the same suite of services.

A former member of the "Cornbread Mafia" says a vicious rumor about the gang's guard dogs is completely false.
Mary Jo McDonald, 52, of Marion County, said she was at the farm in Minnesota where John Robert "Johnny" Boone was arrested in October 1987. McDonald, who knew Boone personally at the time, said she has proof that multiple Rottweiler dogs did not have their larynxes cut so they could attack without making noise.
In fact, she said, she doesn't even know where the rumor about the dogs was started.
A house fire on Covington Avenue in Springfield during the early morning hours of Jan. 9 is being described as a total loss.
Washington County Fire Chief Jim Logsdon said more than 20 firefighters from throughout the county responded to the fire, which was most likely caused by electricity.
The home belonged to Cherry Gibson but no one was home at the time of the incident.
"Thank goodness she wasn't home," Logsdon said.
The recent court-ordered sale of the books, desks and all other school-related assets contained within the walls of the Saint Catharine College buildings leaves vacant buildings and land to be sold in an attempt to recover the millions of dollars owed to Huntington Bank, Farmers Bank, and other creditors. The college property was annexed into to the City of Springfield and is zoned R-1 residential (single-family dwellings). Schools are a permissible use under R-1 zoning. Any other use of the property will likely require a zone change.
t's the start of a new year, which means the Washington County Board of Education had some housekeeping to attend to last week.
Patsy Lester, as well as newly elected member Sherri Cheser, were sworn into office by Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles on Jan. 6. Carissa Harley, another newly elected board member, was not present that evening but was sworn into office Monday.
Washington County High School's band program has a strong history, including a couple of recent state championships, so success is no surprise. Still, it is good news.
The latest good news for the program came with the announcement that a WCHS senior has been named all-state.
Chase Drury, the son of Tony and Kim Drury, recently earned that honor, and WCHS band director Scotty Burns said it's one that comes from time to time.
An inmate volunteering at the Washington County Recycling Center was rushed off to Jewish Hospital in Louisville on Jan. 5 after he severed multiple fingers while on the job.
Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles said he couldn't release much information due to probable litigation, but confirmed an inmate was injured while operating heavy machinery.
Elizabeth Medley represented Washington County well this past weekend as she brought home first runner-up honors from the Kentucky Distinguished Young Women competition.
Medley, an 18-year-old senior at Washington County High School, is the daughter of Tony and Julie Medley of Springfield. She won the local competition last year, earning the right to represent the county in state competition against 30 other contestants in Lexington at the University of Kentucky's Singletary Center for the Arts.

The Kentucky Office of Employment and Training will pull officials from 31 career center offices across the commonwealth – including the one in Washington County.
Springfield-Washington County Economic Development Authority Director Daniel Carney said the office's removal of employees will be a cost-saving measure and will begin in mid-February.
"They haven't actually directly came out and said they're closing," Carney said.
Washington County head coach Bernard Smalley watched game film of Somerset before heading into the All- 'A' Classic 12th Region tournament Monday night.
What he saw was a team that hit just two three-point baskets in two games worth of film. What he saw Monday night was a completely different team.
Somerset hit 16 3-pointers in a 78-51 win over the Commanders, ending their hopes of reaching the finals in the tournament and potentially advancing to the All - 'A' Classic state tournament in Frankfort.
Young teams face struggles, and that has been the case for the Washington County Commanderettes. Lena Bramblett's girls' basketball team has posted a record of 2-13 so far this season, but one thing Bramblett and assistant coach JT Roby have seen from the squad is a determination to keep fighting and never give up.
After Saturday night's game at Marion County, a 56-23 loss, Bramblett said here players are responding to encouragement from their coaches.

Hale: Mom, Dad: You're on my list
No one ever told us it would be like this.
Maybe it's a conspiracy set in motion by the drug companies, or maybe the generation before us just forgot to mention it, but either way, they didn't warn us enough.
I'm talking about the staggering fear that goes hand in hand with parenting.
Yesterday, as I sat in a hospital room with my very sweet and very sick 12-year-old daughter, I watched medical professionals poke her, scan her and try to figure out what was ailing her. Meanwhile, I cursed at myself for not carrying a stash of Xanax in my purse.
Her heart was racing, her breathing was labored and she couldn't answer simple questions. She was really sick.
And while she received much needed care, my heart was sinking. I held my breath and I couldn't imagine how parents of terminally ill children get through stuff like this.
I was sick.
The door to our room had a big red warning on it; anyone who entered donned masks and protective gloves.
I felt like we carried the plague. It was eerie.
As it turns out, my big girl was experiencing some serious symptoms of Influenza A. She responded quickly to fluids and proper meds, and her cognitive function increased as her temperature decreased. The scans came back clear and they fixed her up.
But I was not so lucky.
My anxiety lasted all night. Long after we were discharged, anti-virals in hand, I still suffered: nausea, tachycardia, clamminess, tremors and emotional instability.
I was a wreck!
Mom and Dad, why didn't you warn me?
You never told me that once a parent, my heart would no longer reside safely in the confines of my chest.
That it would divide into three parts and roam the earth, frequently exposed to all varieties of accidents and illnesses.
That it would break when my middle child wasn't invited to a birthday party. That it would sink when my baby got lost in the grocery store. That it would shatter when my big girl was hospitalized.
Maybe you left the scary parts out because you lived in simpler, safer times.
Maybe the anti-anxiety pharmaceuticals paid you off. But despite the current state of my frayed nerves, I'd like to believe that you just wanted me to know the limitless joy that accompanies the fear, and that the rewards of parenting far outweigh the risks.
One day, when I get your grandchildren to a safe, all-grown-up age, I will thank you.
But for now, I'm a little ticked off.

# Or use a character vector: ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(c("cyl", "drv"))
# Use the `labeller` option to control how labels are printed: ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(c("cyl", "drv"), labeller = "label_both")
# To change the order in which the panels appear, change the levels # of the underlying factor. mpg$class2 <- reorder(mpg$class, mpg$displ) ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~class2)
# By default, the same scales are used for all panels. You can allow # scales to vary across the panels with the `scales` argument. # Free scales make it easier to see patterns within each panel, but # harder to compare across panels. ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~class, scales = "free")
# To repeat the same data in every panel, simply construct a data frame # that does not contain the facetting variable. ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point(data = transform(mpg, class = NULL), colour = "grey85") + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~class)
# Use `switch` to display the facet labels near an axis, acting as # a subtitle for this axis. This is typically used with free scales # and a theme without boxes around strip labels. ggplot(economics_long, aes(date, value)) + geom_line() + facet_wrap(~variable, scales = "free_y", nrow = 2, switch = "x") + theme(strip.background = element_blank())

United States District Court, District Circuit
May 9, 2013
ELIZABETH GUEVARA, Plaintiff,v.CHUKEWUEMEKA ONYEWU, Defendant.
Re Document Nos. 80, 84
RUDOLPH CONTRERAS, District Judge.
After a trial in which the jury rendered a verdict rejecting the plaintiff's medical malpractice claims, the defendant as the prevailing party submitted a bill of costs. The Clerk taxed $7, 175.82 in costs. The plaintiff seeks to have the bill denied on the basis of her alleged indigence or, in the alternative, reduced due to the inclusion of inappropriate line items. The Court will decline to entirely deny the bill of costs but will order the Clerk to reduce the bill by the amount taxed for the unnecessary demonstrative exhibit production and deposition transcript order.
This litigation arose in 2010 when Elizabeth Guevara ("Plaintiff") and her husband[1] filed a complaint for medical negligence and loss of consortium resulting from a brachioplasty surgery performed by Dr. Chukewuemeka Onyewu ("Defendant"). See Compl. (Dkt. No. 1) at 4-8. The case proceeded to trial in January 2013, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendant on all counts. See Jury Verdict (Dkt. No. 77).
After trial, Defendant submitted a bill of costs, seeking payment from Plaintiff for costs related to Clerk's fees, creation of demonstrative exhibits, photocopies, and deposition transcript orders. See Mot. Costs (Dkt. No. 80).[2] On April 23, 2013, the Clerk taxed costs totaling $7, 175.82, including $380.68 in filing fees, $2, 995.50 in deposition transcripts, $80.00 in witness fees, $3, 422.74 for exemplification and copying exhibits, and $296.90 for other copying costs. See Bill of Costs (Dkt. No. 83). Less than four hours after the Clerk posted the bill of costs to the docket, Plaintiff filed a motion to retax that restates verbatim the arguments she submitted in opposition to Defendant's original motion - namely, that her indigence warrants complete denial of the motion for costs or, alternatively, that there is no basis for the Court to award costs for money spent on demonstrative exhibits and certain deposition transcripts. Compare Mot. Retax (Dkt. No. 84), with Opp'n Mot. Costs (Dkt. No. 82).
A. Legal Standard
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that costs "should be allowed to the prevailing party." Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(d)(1). Under federal statute, taxable costs include, among other things:
(1) Fees of the Clerk and marshal;
(2) Fees for printed or electronically recorded transcripts necessarily obtained for use in the case;
(3) Fees and disbursements for printing and witnesses; [and]
(4) Fees for exemplification and the costs of making copies of any materials where the copies are necessarily obtained for use in the case....
28 U.S.C. § 1920. Our local rules further provide that taxable costs may include:
(6) [T]he costs, at the reporter's standard rate, of the original and one copy of any deposition noticed by the prevailing party, and of one copy of any deposition noticed by any other party, if the deposition was used on the record, at a hearing or trial;
(8) [C]osts of copying those exhibits which are introduced into evidence, are used for impeachment, or are filed with the Clerk; [and]
(9) [O]ther costs of copying up to $300.00....
D.D.C. Civ. R. 54.1(d). The Supreme Court has noted that "liability for costs is a normal incident of defeat." Delta Air Lines, Inc. v. August, 450 U.S. 346, 352 (1981). Although costs are generally awarded as a matter of course, the district court has discretion in allowing, disallowing, or apportioning costs. See Moore v. Nat'l Ass'n of Secs. Dealers, Inc., 762 F.2d 1093, 1107 (D.C. Cir. 1985). However, "a court may neither deny nor reduce a prevailing party's request for costs without first articulating some good reason for doing so." Baez v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 684 F.2d 999, 1004 (D.C. Cir. 1982) (en banc) (per curiam).
In accordance with the presumption that costs are awarded to the prevailing party, "federal courts have placed on the unsuccessful parties some burden of showing circumstances sufficient to overcome the presumption favoring the prevailing party." Id. As a result, courts "have rarely denied costs to a prevailing party whose conduct has not been vexatious when the losing party has been capable of paying such costs." Id. The defeated party's ability to pay, however, is not a prerequisite to an award of costs. The financial hardship of the unsuccessful party "is a factor that a district court may, but need not, consider in its award of costs pursuant to Rule 54(d)." Chapman v. AI Transp., 229 F.3d 1012, 1039 (11th Cir. 2000) (emphasis added); see also Rivera v. City of Chicago, 469 F.3d 631, 635 (7th Cir. 2006) ("[I]ndigence does not automatically excuse the losing party from paying the prevailing party's costs."); In re Paoli R.R. Yard PCB Litig., 221 F.3d 449, 464 (3d Cir. 2000) ("[I]f a losing party is indigent or unable to pay the full measure of costs, a district court may, but need not automatically, exempt the losing party from paying costs."). Indeed, by federal statute, costs may even be awarded against parties proceeding in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(f).
B. Plaintiff's Financial Hardship
Although Plaintiff does not dispute that Defendant is the prevailing party, she argues that the costs should be reduced based on her alleged inability to pay. When a district court chooses to consider the unsuccessful party's financial hardship, "it should require substantial documentation of a true inability to pay." Chapman, 229 F.3d at 1039; see also Johnson v. Holway, 522 F.Supp.2d 12, 17 (D.D.C. 2007) ("[U]nsubstantiated assertions of financial hardship... are an insufficient basis on which to deny costs."). Since 2001, Plaintiff's sole source of income has been her Social Security disability payment, which totals less than $13, 000 per year. See Guevara Decl. § 1 (Dkt. No. 84-1). Her monthly benefit is not sufficient to meet her mortgage payment, and her husband has been unemployed for a year and receives no unemployment benefits. See id. §§ 4-7. Defendant does not dispute Plaintiff's evidence and admits that he is not in the position to establish whether she could pay the award of costs with other assets. See Mem. Reply Mot. Costs (Dkt. No. 82) at 1 n.1. Nor is the Court in a position to establish that Plaintiff could not pay, based on the evidence presented. In determining whether a non-prevailing party bears sufficient financial hardship to avoid an award of costs, courts consider not just monthly income and selected expenditures, but other assets and discretionary expenditures as well. See, e.g., Cherry v. Champion Int'l Corp., 186 F.3d 442, 447 (4th Cir. 1999) (reversing district court's denial of costs because it failed to consider party's marital property and use of 401(k) distributions to buy discretionary items). Plaintiff did not provide the Court with an estimate of her net worth and presents an incomplete financial picture. For example, her declaration accounts for her mortgage payment (a liability) but not the value of the corresponding asset (her home). This accounting does not constitute the "substantial documentation" courts have required. Moreover, this legal dispute arises out of what appears to have been an elective plastic surgery - a discretionary expense. Accordingly, the Court does not see sufficient reason to override the strong presumption in favor of an award of costs.
C. Plaintiff's Objections to Specific Costs
1. Demonstrative Exhibits
Plaintiff alternatively challenges specific line items on the bill of costs. Defendant sought, and the Clerk taxed, $772.74 for color enlargements and mounting of demonstrative exhibits and $2, 650.00 for the design and illustration of medical trial graphics. See Mot. Costs (Dkt. No. 80) Ex. B. Section 1920 only authorizes an award for copies "necessarily obtained for use in the case...." See 28 U.S.C. § 1920(2). "One precept that has guided courts in making that determination is that costs of demonstrative materials which were merely illustrative of expert testimony, other adequate evidence, or argumentative matter are not taxable. Taxing costs for the trial graphics that defendant would have used at trial, however, would violate this fundamental rule." Robertson v. McCloskey, 121 F.R.D. 131, 133 (D.D.C. 1988) (citation, footnote, and internal quotation marks omitted). Defendant's demonstratives contained images and text depicting the steps performed during a brachioplasty surgery, the pre- and post-operative anatomy of the upper arm, and the physiology of both normal and abnormal healing processes. See Pretrial Stmt. Ex. B (Dkt. No. 61-2). He argues that these demonstratives were necessary because they "were referred to by counsel during opening and closing statements and throughout the testimony of fact and expert witnesses." Mem. Reply Mot. Costs (Dkt. No. 82) at 3. But this argument reveals that the materials were merely illustrative of testimony or argumentative - purposes that are not taxable. These items should be deleted from the bill of costs.
2. Deposition Transcripts
Plaintiff also challenges the taxation of transcripts from the depositions of Jose Guevara and Dr. Paul Ruff. As with taxation for the costs of exhibits, deposition transcripts are taxable if they are "necessarily obtained for use in the case...." 28 U.S.C. § 1920(2). Our local rules illustrate that the costs "of one original and one copy of any deposition noticed by the prevailing party, and of one copy of any deposition noticed by any other party, if the deposition was used on the record, at a hearing or trial" are taxable under this analysis.[3] D.D.C. Civ. R. 54.1(d)(6). Plaintiff argues that Local Rule 54.1 limits the costs taxable under Section 1920, and therefore Defendant cannot recover the cost of these two depositions because they were not used on the record. But Plaintiff is incorrect. The necessity of obtaining a deposition transcript is ascertained "as of the time the deposition was taken rather than at the time of the trial." Johnson, 522 F.Supp.2d at 18; accord Youssef v. FBI, 762 F.Supp.2d 76, 86 (D.D.C. 2011). Even if Defendant did not ultimately use the depositions at trial or on the record, that fact is not singularly determinative. See Sykes v. Napolitano, 755 F.Supp.2d 118, 121 (D.D.C. 2010). Even use of the transcripts in preparation for trial may make them eligible for taxation. See, e.g., Sun Ship, Inc. v. Lehman, 655 F.2d 1311, 1318 n.49 (D.C. Cir. 1981).
At the time of Jose Guevara's deposition, he was still a party to this litigation. Although Mr. Guevara's counsel had sought a stipulation dismissing his claims before his deposition, see Mot. Retax Ex. B (Dkt. No. 84-4), Defendant's counsel was not obligated to agree to the stipulation, nor was there any guarantee that Mr. Guevara would not renege on his proposal to dismiss his claim. Moreover, it was reasonable for Defendant to believe that Mr. Guevara, as Plaintiff's husband, would provide necessary testimony to test the veracity of Plaintiff's damages-related allegations regardless of his own party status. This is especially true in light of his original claim for loss of consortium. Indeed, Defendant still intended to call Mr. Guevara as a witness at trial well after his deposition was taken and his claim was dismissed. See Pretrial Stmt. (Dkt. No. 64) at 1. The Court finds that his deposition was necessary.
The necessity of Dr. Paul Ruff's deposition, however, is less clear. Dr. Ruff was one of two plastic surgery experts put forward by Defendant. Defendant argued that the testimony of multiple experts was necessary to establish a national standard of care regarding the brachioplasty procedure. See Mem. Opp'n Mot. Limine (Dkt. No. 42-1) at 2. The Court granted in part Plaintiff's motion to exclude cumulative expert testimony, see Order Res. Mot. Limine & Mot. Summ. J. (Dkt. No. 55), and Dr. Ruff did not testify at trial. In light of the cumulative nature of his testimony and the fact that he did not testify at trial, Dr. Ruff's deposition testimony hardly seems necessary and should not be taxed.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court will issue an order reducing the bill of costs by $3, 422.74 for Defendant's unnecessary demonstratives and $75.75[4] for the unnecessary Ruff deposition transcript. An order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion is separately and contemporaneously issued this 9th day of May, 2013.

Inspired Light in Oregon is at work fine tuning a rooftop solar-power system that uses three-junction concentrated solar photovoltaic cells. The company says it delivers up to 30% efficiency, far better than the 15% to 18% efficiency of standard photovoltaic panels. The company is working to make the system even more efficient, hoping it can become an alternative fossil-fuel energy. It received a $150,000 grant from the Oregon Built Environmental & Sustainable Technologies Center.

Winter sports travel tips
No matter what the snow or ice conditions are, travelling in winter weather can take planning if you are to get to your destination safely and with a minimum of fuss.
When it comes to delays, we are often left at the mercy of airlines but here are a few useful tips to help avoid disruptions as much as possible.
- Try to book direct flights to your final destination. This avoids the possibility of missing your connection or even being stranded in a hotel for half your holiday. When searching for flights online, remember to tick the "Direct flights only" box. If you indicate your dates are flexible, you will increase your chances of finding as direct a route as possible.
- If you have no option but to book a connecting flight, allow plenty of time between flights to minimise your chances of missing a connection should your initial flight be delayed. Airlines are not necessarily legally obliged to give you a seat on the next flight. Our winter sports travel insurance policies can cover you for flight delays and cancellations.
- If you have a really tight connection time and your flight is running late, let your flight attendant know – he or she may be able to make arrangements to hold your next flight, or at least allow you to get off your flight quickly.
- Choosing morning flights mean you are far less likely to have your flight delayed by problems at other airports. If it is cancelled or badly delayed, your options for alternate flights are increased, hopefully enabling you to get on a different flight by the end of the day.
- If possible, avoid peak travel dates, including school holidays and bank holiday weekends. This will reduce your costs as well as potential for long delays and queues.
- If you plan to drive in winter, pack extra clothing (gloves, blanket, extra socks and pull-overs etc.) as well as jump cables, a torch, windscreen ice scraper and other emergency supplies in your car.
- If you break down in cold weather, these could come in very handy.
- Reduce your speed by at least 50 percent when driving in very bad weather and leave extra space between you and the car in front.
