We simply could not pass up an opportunity to discuss queer filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's latest horror, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. To make sense of the film and its engagement with sex, identity, femininity and transness, we dig into the history of gender representation in slasher films and spend most of the episode thinking through The Gaze, a concept coined by English art historian John Berger (in his 1972 book Ways of Seeing) that was later picked up by feminist film theorists. Hannah and Marcelle consider how cinema, and the experience of both watching and being watched, reinforces and potentially destabilizes sex differences — and further, ask how Schoenbrun's work as a trans filmmaker plays with that relationship in ways previously sidelined by theorists and other artists, alike.If you haven't seen Camp Miasma, no worries! There are no spoilers in this episode. All you really need to know is that the movie stars bicons Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder and that is probably 90% of the reason our team was really into it.***Works CitedClover, Carol J. “Her Body, Himself: Gender in the Slasher Film.” Representations 20 (1987): 187-228. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2928507.

REBEL Rundown Key Points Attention is a finite resource. Emergency medicine heavily taxes directed attention through interruptions, task switching, threat monitoring, and constant high-stakes decisions. Nature gives directed attention a chance to recover. Natural environments engage “soft fascination”. That's referring to the effortless, bottom-up attention- which allows our effortful, goal-directed attention systems to rest and recharge. Nature helps downshift the stress response and may reduce stress physiology, support parasympathetic activity, improve mood, and potentially improve emotional regulation. Exposure can be brief to reset: even a 40-second view of greenery was associated with improved sustained attention in one study. Windows, plants, nature imagery, and brief outdoor breaks can make a difference. We can even design nature into healthcare. Nature is a tool but not a treatment for broken systems. Nature exposure shouldn’t become another individual “wellness” obligation or substitute for fixing understaffing, moral injury, or other structural problems. And it's also okay to go outside simply because being outside feels good, without optimizing anything. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. Previously Covered and Related Content: REBEL MIND: Rest is not Sleep: 7 Dimensions of True Recovery Introduction Welcome to Rebel MIND, the podcast where we explore concepts that help us understand our minds so that we can take better care of our patients and ourselves. MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. In this episode, Dr. Kim Bambach talks with emergency physician and neuroscientist Dr. Adrienne Taren as well as emergency physician and wilderness medicine expert Dr. Linda Keyes about the Nature Reset: how exposure to nature can restore attention, downshift our stress response, and help our brains recover from the cognitive demands of medicine. Dr. Adrienne Taren is an emergency medicine physician, clinical neuroscience faculty at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research, and adjunct professor at Oklahoma State University in medical education. She completed her MD/PhD (Neuroscience) at the University of Pittsburgh-Carnegie Mellon University. Her current research focuses on the neural circuit function underlying occupational traumatic stress symptoms in frontline healthcare workers.Dr. Linda Keyes is a board-certified emergency physician, an adjunct professor at University of Colorado, Vice President of the International Society of Mountain Medicine, and past-president of the Wilderness Medical Society. Since she was a medical student at Yale University, she has travelled the globe in pursuit of science. Dr. Keyes has partnered with researchers and clinicians on five continents to understand the effects of high altitude on the human body. She has authored of scores of original research articles and international guidelines on high-altitude medicine with a focus on women's health and understanding acute mountain sickness. The mountains are her happy place. She believes in wilderness as medicine and in conservation for the health of the planet. Cognitive Question How can nature help us recover during or after a difficult shift? How does nature exposure affect our cognition? Clinical medicine keeps our brains in a near-constant state of cognitive and physiologic activation. We sustain attention despite interruptions, track multiple patients simultaneously, make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, and continuously scan for threats and changes in our environment. This heavily taxes directed attention, the effortful, top-down attentional system we use to deliberately focus on a task. Importantly, attention is a finite neurobiological resource that fatigues with sustained use. Nature provides a unique form of cognitive recovery. Rather than demanding directed attention, natural environments engage what researchers call soft fascination: our attention is gently captured by things like moving leaves, shifting light, clouds, or water without requiring deliberate effort. This allows our directed attention systems an opportunity to rest and recover. Through soft fascination, nature gives our directed attention a break and creates space for the default mode network (DMN) which allows our minds to wander, consolidate memories, reflect, and make connections between ideas. Nature exposure may also help downregulate the physiologic stress response, with evidence suggesting reductions in cortisol and increased parasympathetic activity.Importantly, meaningful nature exposure doesn’t necessarily require a hike in the wilderness.The 40-Second Reset: In one study, participants who took a 40-second microbreak viewing a green roof subsequently demonstrated better sustained attention than those viewing a concrete roof. This suggests that even very brief nature exposures may have cognitive benefits.Nature Between Shifts: Longer exposures may allow more complete autonomic downregulation, while outdoor light exposure and low-intensity movement may also support circadian regulation which is particularly relevant for shift workers.Biophilic Design: We can also bring elements of nature into the environments where we work. Windows, natural light, plants, nature imagery, green walls, and accessible outdoor spaces may offer opportunities to incorporate restorative nature exposure into healthcare design. Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Step Outside**: Try to step outside on your next shift for even a few minutes. Even a brief dose of nature may help interrupt sustained directed attention.**Look for Nature**: When getting outside isn’t possible, intentionally notice natural elements around you—a window view, trees, plants, daylight, or even nature imagery.**Let Your Mind Wander**: Give yourself a few minutes with a cognitive task. Allow soft fascination to create space for reflection and the default mode network. **Write Yourself a Nature Rx**:What would be restorative to you? It might be a hike, a visit to your local botanical garden, or some time in a hammock just to enjoy yourself. Conclusion Spending time in nature can provide a meaningful reset for attention and stress. Natural environments give directed attention a break while creating space for reflection and mind-wandering. Even brief, intentional doses of nature like stepping outside during a shift or taking a walk after work may help restore cognitive resources and reduce stress. Building small moments of nature into your day can support your well-being and resilience. Nature isn’t a “fix-all” for system pressures and stressors like understaffing. We still need to advocate for better systems, but nature can be a cost-effective, beneficial, and relatively simple adjunct that can improve well-being. Clinical Bottom Line Give yourself permission for a “nature reset” or “nature Rx”. An intentional dose of nature that can reduce stress, restore depleted attention, and replenish the cognitive resources we rely on to think and focus in challenging clinical environments.

Host Nate Wilcox welcomes James Kaplan to discuss his book “Irving Berlin: New York Genius” — a life that runs from a Lower East Side childhood to a fifty-year career at the centre of American popular song, and then to almost thirty years of silence. Jerome Kern's line is the one everybody quotes, and it holds up: Berlin has no place in American music, he is American music. Kaplan and Nate draw the comparison to Lennon and McCartney — the same work ethic, the same instinct for how a song is built — and then note the difference, which is that Berlin's run did not stop after ten years. He was having hits in 1911 and still writing in the 1960s.

What if spending time in nature isn't simply good for you, but something your brain is biologically designed to need? In this solo episode, Darin explores the sensory neuroscience of nature and the growing research suggesting that our increasingly indoor lives may be fundamentally mismatched with the environments our brains and nervous systems evolved to experience. From walls and screens to fluorescent lights, traffic, right angles, and constant notifications, modern environments bombard us with sensory inputs our ancestors never encountered at this scale. The numbers put that mismatch into perspective. Darin highlights research suggesting the average American spends roughly 87% of life indoors and another 6% inside vehicles. In other words, we've effectively become an indoor species living inside outdoor-evolved bodies, brains, eyes, and nervous systems. Darin breaks down why this isn't merely another reminder to "go outside." He explores how modern environments place continuous demands on executive attention, why sustained attention can eventually give way to rumination and mental chatter, and what more than 100 brain-imaging studies may reveal about what happens when we finally return our brains to natural environments. This episode ultimately asks a surprisingly important question: What if nature isn't a luxury or lifestyle preference, but a biological input we've slowly removed from our lives? What You'll Learn Why your brain evolved for branches, coastlines, clouds, mountains, and irregular natural geometry instead of straight lines How much of the average American's life is now spent indoors or inside vehicles Why Darin describes modern life as an evolutionary mismatch for the nervous system How artificial environments continually demand processing from your executive attention system Why sustained directed attention can eventually lead to fatigue, rumination, and mental chatter How light, sound, movement, visual patterns, and circadian cues shaped the human nervous system Why simply telling people to "go outside more" may underestimate what's happening neurologically What researchers mean by high-load visual and auditory environments What a review of more than 100 brain-imaging studies investigated about nature exposure What the brain scans reveal about nature, fractal patterns, rumination, and neural restoration in the second half of the episode Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:25 – When was the last time you stopped seeing straight lines? 00:03:49 – Your brain wasn't designed for the geometry of modern life 00:04:44 – The sensory neuroscience of nature 00:05:14 – Why your nervous system may be starving indoors 00:05:49 – Darin records the episode outside 00:06:04 – How much of our lives do we actually spend indoors? 00:06:48 – Outdoor-evolved humans have become an indoor species 00:07:47 – Why "go outside" is more than feel-good advice 00:08:22 – The evolutionary mismatch affecting your nervous system 00:09:33 – Ancient biological hardware in a radically modern environment 00:09:49 – How indoor environments overload your attention system 00:10:47 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:42 – Your attention system wasn't built for infinite stimulation 00:13:00 – Rumination, looping thoughts, and mental chatter 00:13:24 – The fatal convenience of modern civilization 00:13:58 – What we've removed from the human sensory environment 00:14:19 – The neuroscience deep dive begins 00:14:40 – More than 100 brain-imaging studies on nature exposure 00:15:18 – The question researchers wanted to answer 00:15:19 – Why the rest of the neuroscience matters 00:15:34 – What do brain scans actually show when you enter nature? 00:15:49 – Continue the full episode on Patreon 00:15:52 – The four-stage neurological cascade coming next 00:16:02 – Fractal fluency and the hidden geometry of nature 00:16:07 – Nature, the brain, and depressive rumination 00:16:18 – How much nature does your brain actually need? 00:16:31 – Final thoughts and Patreon continuation Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

Your nervous system developed over hundreds of thousands of years surrounded by sunlight, wind, trees, irregular sounds, natural rhythms, and complex patterns, yet we've replaced much of that environment with walls, screens, fluorescent lights, traffic, notifications, and straight lines. Going outside isn't simply a nice thing to do when you have extra time. Nature may be one of the fundamental sensory inputs your brain has been waiting for you to put back into your life."

Comment nos mots sont devenus des marchandises. Le langage est un des fondements de notre humanité. Or, depuis lʹavènement du numérique, notre rapport à la parole et à lʹécrit a changé. Les mots sont devenus une ressource financière pour des entreprises, ils sont utilisés pour nous vendre des produits, pour anticiper nos désirs. Et nos textes, nos livres, sont captés pour servir de matière première à l'intelligence artificielle. Comment ce "capitalisme linguistique" sʹest-il imposé? Est-ce que le langage est en train de nous échapper? Tribu reçoit Frédéric Kaplan, professeur à lʹEPFL, directeur du laboratoire dʹhumanités digitales. Et vous sortez ce livre, "Dealers de mots", aux éditions Actes Sud.
Dolly Parton let the world underestimate her for fifty years, then spent that underestimation as leverage every single time. Days after her death, comedian and "Make Me a Nerd" host Mandy Kaplan joins host Matthew Fox to talk about what she meant to them, using the workplace revenge fantasy "9 to 5" as the way in. They cover the movie, the songs that came out of it, and the choices Parton made with the fortune she built.Kaplan explains why she spent seventh grade being called "Dolly Parton" against her will, and how that shaped her relationship to the caricature Parton built on purpose. Fox digs into Parton's finances, her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, and the choice to stop short of billionaire status despite having the means to get there.

Everyone knows it's coming. The MAGA movement has spent years claiming that any election where Republican candidates lose must be fraudulent, and its top media figures have spent every election cycle since 2020 stoking doubts about the integrity of US democracy.

Prince Andrew's legal team repeatedly tried to persuade U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss Virginia Roberts Giuffre's civil lawsuit before the allegations could be tested through discovery or at trial. Andrew's attorneys argued that Giuffre's 2009 settlement agreement with Jeffrey Epstein barred her from suing him because it released Epstein and certain “other potential defendants” from future liability. They also challenged the legal sufficiency of her claims, questioned whether New York law permitted the lawsuit and asked the court to require Giuffre to provide a more detailed statement of her allegations. Kaplan rejected those arguments, emphasizing that the court's role at the dismissal stage was not to decide whether Giuffre's accusations were true, but to determine whether she had presented legally sufficient claims that could move forward.Kaplan ruled that the settlement language was ambiguous and could not be interpreted in Andrew's favor as a matter of law before evidence had been gathered and factual disputes resolved. He denied Andrew's motion “in all respects,” clearing the way for depositions, document requests and the possibility of a public trial in which Andrew could have been required to answer questions under oath. The ruling stripped away Andrew's most significant legal escape route and made clear that royal status would not shield him from the ordinary civil process. Although the case was ultimately settled the following month without an admission of liability, Kaplan's decision forced Andrew to prepare for the very outcome his lawyers had worked to avoid: a trial over Giuffre's allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Many urgent care owners want to add medical weight loss and wellness services but quickly realize it is more complicated than prescribing medication. Compliance requirements, pharmacy relationships, payment processing, patient enrollment, and ongoing management can make getting started feel overwhelming.In this episode of Walk-Ins Welcome, Nick and Michael sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, founder and CEO of DrWell, to discuss how urgent care clinics can add weight and wellness services without building the entire infrastructure themselves.Dr. Kaplan explains how DrWell helps practices stay compliant, manage medication offerings, create a smoother digital patient experience, and compete with direct-to-consumer platforms. The conversation also explores how vertically integrating medications can help clinics retain patients and revenue instead of sending both to an outside pharmacy or online provider.If your clinic is looking for a practical way to add cash-pay services and create more predictable recurring revenue, this episode offers a clear place to start.
Landing your first nursing job sounds straightforward after graduation—but for many new grads, the reality is far more difficult. In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, host Ann [BG1][CD2]sits down with Stella Leiken, a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), to talk honestly about what it's really like to enter the nursing workforce for the first time. Stella shares her journey from a psychology degree at UC Santa Barbara to an accelerated MEPN program, completing 192 hours of hands-on NICU preceptorship, and preparing to take the NCLEX. But the conversation quickly turns to something many nursing programs don't prepare you for: the search for that first nursing job. Despite an MSN, a strong clinical record, and glowing recommendations, Stella applied to nearly every NICU in California and was denied by all of them. She opens up about the emotional toll of repeated rejection, the nursing shortage paradox that leaves new grads competing fiercely for a shrinking number of residency spots, and why she made the decision to look out of state rather than settle for a specialty she didn't want. Her story is raw, honest, and relevant for any new grad nurse navigating today's competitive job market. Key Takeaways Don't settle for the wrong specialty. Taking a job in a unit you don't want just to get hired can make transitioning into your dream specialty later even harder. Start applying before you graduate. Some new grad residency programs close months before graduation. Others open applications for only 24 hours with no public notice. Networking matters. Stella secured her NICU preceptorship because she made a strong impression during her leadership rotation. Connections can open doors that applications alone cannot. Broaden your geographic search. If your local market is oversaturated, looking out of state can unlock opportunities and help you grow in unexpected ways. Protect your confidence. Rejection after rejection takes a real toll. Staying focused on your goal and leaning on your support system can make all the difference Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and why this episode is different 01:49 – Stella's background: from UCSB psychology to the USD MEPN program 03:08 – MEPN vs. ABSN: understanding the pathways into nursing 04:25 – The three-week boot camp that kicked off her program 07:54 – How preceptorships work and why specialty selection is so competitive 09:22 – NICU placement and the power of networking for new grad nurses 11:47 – NCLEX prep: how Kaplan and school support set Stella up for success 15:26 – The new grad job hunt begins, and why the timeline catches many off guard 18:37 – The nursing shortage paradox: high demand, fierce competition 19:03 – Applying to every NICU in California and facing rejection 21:10 – Looking out of state: Nashville, Georgia, Colorado, and beyond 26:43 – The emotional reality of repeated rejection 30:08 – Stella's advice: stay confident, don't settle, and go where the opportunity is 35:36 – Closing thoughts and words of encouragement for new grad nurses Meet Our Guest, Stella Leiken Stella Leiken is a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN). She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from UC Santa Barbara before working in a private ophthalmology practice, an experience that confirmed nursing as her true calling. Through her MEPN program, Stella completed 192 hours of NICU clinical preceptorship across two semesters, gaining hands-on experience caring for critically ill infants. She is preparing to take the NCLEX and is actively searching for her first nursing role.

Judge Lewis Kaplan made it clear early in Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit that he would not allow Prince Andrew's attorneys to bury the case beneath procedural disputes or use technical arguments to postpone confronting the allegations. When Andrew's legal team challenged whether he had been properly served with the lawsuit, Kaplan authorized Giuffre to deliver the papers through Andrew's American attorneys and pushed the parties toward addressing the substance of the case. The judge indicated that the litigation should not be made unnecessarily complicated, rejecting the idea that disputes over international service rules should be permitted to stall the proceedings indefinitely. Andrew's lawyers had argued that formal service had to proceed through British legal channels, while Giuffre's attorneys accused the prince of avoiding service and playing a prolonged game of procedural hide-and-seek. Kaplan's rulings removed that obstacle and established that Andrew would have to respond rather than continue contesting how the papers reached him.Kaplan showed the same impatience when Andrew's attorneys later attempted to dismiss the lawsuit through a series of legal technicalities, including Giuffre's residency, the constitutionality of New York's Child Victims Act and the wording of her earlier settlement with Jeffrey Epstein. During oral arguments, Kaplan directly cut off claims that Giuffre had failed to include enough factual detail in her complaint, telling Andrew's lawyer that she had no obligation to provide that level of specificity at the pleading stage and that dismissal on that basis was “not going to happen.” He ultimately denied Andrew's motion to dismiss in all respects, finding that the Epstein settlement was too ambiguous to clearly release Andrew from liability and allowing discovery to proceed. The message was unmistakable: Andrew's legal team was entitled to mount a defense, but procedure would not be transformed into a mechanism for endlessly delaying Giuffre's opportunity to have her claims heard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

How many times have you noticed an expert witness for deposition, only to be told you've got to pay their fee in advance, failing which, they say, they aren't coming. As Jim Garrity explains, it doesn't have to be that way. Listen in and learn why prepayment isn't required and how to properly avoid advance payment. After all, those prepayment demands are often excessive, don't explain how the fee was determined, and of course don't guarantee the expert will even qualify as such, much less offer admissible testimony. And we've got a wealth of research for you in the show notes.SHOW NOTESEvans v. Home Depot USA, Inc., Case no. 2:25-CV-451-SPC-KRH, 2026 WL 1837154 (M. D. Florida June 25, 2026) (plaintiff's treating doctor, a non-retained expert, was set for one hour deposition, and demanded prepayment of $3,000 for the deposition; held, prepayment is generally not required, “so lack of prepaid fees would not justify refusing to attend the deposition after proper service of a valid subpoena;” further outlining the process to address a treating physician's potential nonappearance at a deposition, asking whether the deposition was subject to the courts subpoena power, and if so, whether the defendant had issued and served the subpoena, noting that the court then need not intervene until (a) the physician seeks to quash the subpoena or fails to appear, and (b) the defendant moves to hold him in contempt for failing to appear to deposition)Johnson v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., No. CV 07-1874FBJO, 2008 WL 1995117, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2008) (“The pertinent rule thus teaches that once Dr. Seldes has actually “spent” time responding to Spirit's questions at the deposition, he may then bill Spirit for a “reasonable” fee for that amount of “time.” Dr. Seldes therefore may not insist on advance payment, and may not set a flat fee before he knows what he will be called upon to do; he may instead charge only a reasonable hourly fee. I will not predict in advance what reasonable hourly fee Dr. Seldes may choose to request, but should a dispute arise, I will of course defer to the persuasive authority of cases such as the Garnier decision cited above and the precedent on which it in turn relied. See id. at *3-*4 (describing a range of reasonable hourly rates below $500))Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06-4859 JFB ETB, 2011 WL 3511071, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (“The rule and the case law makes it clear that the parties seeking court intervention to determine a reasonable fee for an expert deposition should do so retrospectively—that is, after the deposition has taken place. The rule clearly contemplates that a court order will be issued subsequent to the deposition, as it requires a court to order payment of a “reasonable fee for time spent in responding to discovery”)Tennant v. Handi-House Mfg. Co., Case No. 3:16-cv-1276-J-25MCR, 2017 WL 11105252 (M. D. Fla. Nov. 20, 2017) (Defendant moved for, among other things, order deferring payment for deposition of plaintiff's treating physician, who canceled the deposition because he did not receive the $3,300 payment he demanded for his two-hour deposition; held, Defendant's request to defer deposition fees of the treating physician granted, with the court “finding that prepayment of expert witness deposition fees is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;” noting that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4)(E) “does not require the prepayment of expert deposition fees; further noting that the parties agreed that the issues presented are governed by the expert fee rules, implying that a treating physician may qualify as an expert under the circumstances); Court also noted that Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(4)(E)(i) says that unless manifest injustice would result, the court must require that the party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for “time spent” in responding to discovery; court noted that the deposition had not yet taken place, and so seemed to emphasize that it was premature to determine the reasonableness of payment because the provision talks about “time spent” and the doctor had not yet been deposed”)Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 18, 2025) (Bank filed Motion to Defer Payments to Experts or to Determine Reasonableness of Expert Charges, where defendants demanded that the bank pay an invoice from TASA Group in the amount of $10,325.29 in advance of the banking expert's testimony, failing which the witness would not appear; bank argued that the court should defer reimbursement obligation pending the outcome of the case, in pending submission of supporting data, arguing that the Committee Notes to the 1970 amendments to Rule 26 say that the court may issue an order to pay fees as a condition of discovery, or it may delay the order until after discovery is completed.; Court noted that “other courts have denied request for advance payment because Rule 26 (small B) (4) (E) does not require it,” citing cases from Wisconsin and California for the proposition that, unlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance)Regions' Motion to Defer on Payment of Experts, or alternatively, to Determine Reasonableness of Kaplan Parties' Expert Charges and Supporting Memorandum of Law (CM/ECF Doc. 435) Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 18, 2025)Defendant Marvin I. Kaplan's Motion for Approval of Expert Witness Fees and Expenses (CM/ECF Doc. 436), Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla.

Wisconsin November 15, 2010) denying plaintiff's motion requiring the defendants to pay reasonable fees to the plaintiff's experts in advance of taking their depositions; court noted that while rule 26(b)(4)(C) provides in relevant part that in less manifest justice would result, the court shall require that the party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for time spent responding to discovery, rule does not say that experts fees must be paid in advance of the deposition absent agreement to do so, and pointing out that unlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert's deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance)Kramer et al. v. Hartford Insurance Co. of the Midwest, Case No. 8:12-cv-01824-T-17AEP, 2013 WL 12155927 (M. D. Florida April 30, 2013) (court granted Defendant's Motion to Compel Deposition Testimony of Dennis James, an expert, finding “that prepayment of expert witness fees, including Mr. James' expert witness in this action, is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court noted that while Rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) says that in less manifest injustice would result, the court must require that a party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for “time spent” [emphasis added], the Advisory Committee Notes (1970 Amendment) to Rule 26(b)(4) authorize a court to require the payment of fees and expenses as a condition of discovery, and also to delay the order until after discovery is completed. Thus, the court ordered the deposition to proceed but set a payment deadline for his fees within 50 days of the date of his deposition. The court emphasized that - while rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) “is silent as to exactly when an expert will be paid after responding to discovery, the Court finds that a degree of reasonableness is inherent in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the circumstances of this case, a payment deadline of 50 days was reasonable.)Harris v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 226 F.R.D. 675, 676–77 (S.D. Cal. 2005) (plaintiff's counsel abruptly terminated defense deposition of plaintiff's expert because Defendant would not pay expert witness fee at that time; court, rejecting the manner of termination is improper, said of Rule Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(4)(C) that while experts must be paid absent manifest injustice, “The rule does not state, however, that the expert's fees must be paid in advance of the deposition absent agreement to do so. To the contrary, “[u]nlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert's deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance… Because there is no rule allowing a party to terminate a deposition for the failure to pay opposing expert witness fees in advance, Plaintiff's counsel was wrong in doing so in the instant case)Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06–4859 (JFB) (ETB), 2011 WL 3511071, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (ruling that a motion seeking prepayment for an expert's deposition was premature because the Rule “clearly contemplates that a court order will be issued subsequent to the deposition;” further saying “Nor, as discussed above, does the rule entitle plaintiff to payment in advance, citing Rule 26(b)(4)(E), which entitles an expert to a reasonable fee for “time spent” responding to discovery); citing Johnson v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., No. CV 07-1874FBJO, 2008 WL 1995117, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2008) (“[The expert] therefore may not insist on advance payment ....”). Rather, if the parties cannot agree to reasonable reimbursement for plaintiff's experts following their depositions, either party may apply to the Court for such a determination;” “Dr. Seldes therefore may not insist on advance payment, and may not set a flat fee before he knows what he will be called upon to do; he may instead charge only a reasonable hourly fee.”)Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06-4859 JFB ETB, 2011 WL 3511071, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (citing Broushet v. Target Corp., ––– F.R.D. ––––, 2011 WL 1750753, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Mar.3, 2011), and saying “Courts consider the following factors in determining whether a requested expert fee is reasonable: (1) the witness' area of expertise; (2) the education and training that is required to provide the expert insight that is sought; (3) the prevailing rates for other comparably respected available experts; (4) the nature, quality and complexity of the discovery responses provided; (5) the cost of living in the particular geographic area; (6) any other factor likely to be of assistance to the court in balancing the interests implicated by Rule 26; (7) the fee actually being charged to the party who retained him; and (8) fees traditionally charged by the expert on related matters”)Ratliff v.

DOCKET ALERTS: Trump says he's going to get the Supreme Court to reconsider its birthright citizenship ruling "IMMEDIATELY." (He's not.) He also says he's going to get SCOTUS to reconsider its denial of certiorari in the E. Jean Carroll case, and thus he shouldn't have to pay the $5 million he owes her. (Again, he's not.) Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the escrowed funds to be disbursed to Kaplan, holding that it was time for Trump to "do equity and pay the judgment." And the Second Circuit summarily refused his "emergency" request for an administrative stay of the disbursement order. Pay up, a-hole! The DC Circuit rebuffed Trump's petition to get his name slapped back on the Kennedy Center pending appeal of the ruling that it was illegal to put it there in the first place. Olympian David Hearn was arraigned today in DC Superior Court on felony charges for having vandalized Trump's janky Reflecting Pool remodel. Former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan was given a $5,000 fine but no jail time after being convicted of obstructing ICE by letting an immigrant defendant exit the courtroom using the jury door. The government had sought an eight to ten-month custodial sentence. DOOFUS OF THE DAY: Ken Paxton, who separated from his wife two years ago, and still continues to use his former marital home as his address for voting purposes, according to ProPublica. MAIN SHOW: The Eleventh Circuit upheld an injunction blocking much of Florida's Stop WOKE Act (get it? get it?), which barred university professors from taking a position on "controversial" ideas like systemic racism. The state's theory is that professors are government employees, and employers can regulate speech, and thus teachers are just like Walmart greeters who can be given a strict script. The judges did not agree. In Georgia, a federal judge quashed a subpoena for a vast trove of data on every person who worked on the 2020 election. Judge William Ray reasoned that any "crime" committed would be outside the statute of limitations, and so he need not reach the propriety of the subpoena to quash it. According to a recently filed lawsuit, the Trump administration has been violating its own policies and handing Iranian asylum seekers over to the Iranian government — even after we started bombing the country. Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner has dropped out — sort of. We'll discuss the legal implications and what happens going forward. SUBSCRIBER BONUS: Update on the "Judgefight" from Ep. 243. Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in DC says that the Trump administration cannot use the Social Security database to bulk-verify state voter rolls. Judge T. Kent Wetherell in Florida says that they must.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Kaplan, economist, CFA charterholder, former Director of Research at Morningstar Canada, and co-author of Lifetime Financial Advice, for a fascinating exploration of life cycle finance. Drawing on decades of research in economics, portfolio construction, and asset allocation, Paul explains how financial planning should be grounded in optimizing lifetime consumption rather than relying on disconnected rules of thumb. We explore how life cycle finance integrates consumption, saving, investing, and retirement spending into a single framework, why risk tolerance and risk capacity are fundamentally different concepts, and how human capital should be treated as part of an investor's balance sheet. Paul also walks through the life cycle model he and Tom Idzorek developed, explains why traditional retirement rules like the 4% rule lack theoretical foundations, and demonstrates an open-source spreadsheet that allows anyone to experiment with the model for themselves. This conversation brings together economics, portfolio theory, and financial planning into a practical framework for making better lifetime financial decisions.
