Full Disclosure To Plaintiffs: Failure To Prevail In An FLSA Case Could Cost You
Posted in Conditional CertificationCo-authored by Noah Finkel and Kara Goodwin
When negotiating a collective action notice to potential opt-in plaintiffs upon an order for or agreement to conditional certification, a defendant-employer often seeks to include language in the notice that if plaintiffs lose the case, they may be liable to the defendant for costs. Not surprisingly, plaintiffs' counsel usually resists including such a … Continue Reading

We often question the utility of the "lenient standard" for conditional certification under the FLSA.

location in Kriens rather than Lucerne. Fine if you have a car, would probably be a bit of a mission without one. Nice to be out in the country rather than in the middle of town. Bathrooms clean, nice to be able to make a coffee in your own room.
excellent view and accessible by a special local telebus. helpful and friendly staff.
At 6pm the staff went home and left us alone. This meant to bar or restaurant but this was fine for us as there is a local place 10 mins walk away. Great location.
When we booked we weren't told that the railway up/down the mountain wasn't working. We probably wouldn't have booked had we known but it worked out fine. The hotel was busy with kids at weekend. Thankfully they all went home at 6 pm too.
The facility is perfect, clean and fashion, share bathroom bath but just for 2 person. friendly staff and offer fruit and computer.
The location is hard to find it. I have no idea there have mini train could get to hotel, but you should take bus no1 from main station to kriens and seek the funicular. It is not free.
1. Wonderful view from the mountain; 2. Very clean and comfortable room; 3. Room with veranda, equipped with chairs and table 4. Cable car nearby, CHF6.00 single and CHF9.00 return
It's nice for driving there, free parking and nice view. It's actually located in Kreins,15 minutes drive to Lucerne. If you don't drive, CHF35.00 by Taxi from Lucerne train station to the hotel.
The reception team were very helpful. The views are astonishing. It's close to some lovely walking trails. Food was good. Room was clean and pleasant.
I have been a few times before and have always enjoyed the hospitality of Ron. He wasn't there this time and there was a distinct difference in style between him and the waiting staff, a balance needs to be struck, possibly, between professionalism and disinterest?
Excellent views from hotel. Very pleasurable 30min walk across countryside up from Lucerne. Free shuttle to and from Kreins.
Without car If sightseeing in city the commute shortens day a bit, but not a big problem.
My husband booked it -- I don't think he knew, either, that it was in such an awesome locale! Loved the simple sophistication of the furnishings, spaciousness of our room (felt like an apartment). Miles & miles of hiking trails, funicular down to the main road, views of very tall mountains. Glorious flowers. Kate and Margot were fabulous.
Hotel restaurant closed too early for us upon arrival; recommended walkable one only took cash -- wish we'd been advised, we had none! (hotel handled it for us, no problem).
View from our balcony was very nice. We watched the sunrise over Lucerne. Very clean. Staff was very accommodating.
It was further from Lucerne then we had expected. We arrived at 8:30 pm and the only way to get there at that time of night was by taxi. We also left early the next morning and could only travel by taxi. During the day they have a funicular that runs closeby but unfortunately our schedule did not allow us that option.
Beautiful view
Not easy to get back to the hotel in the evening (no transportation)
The view of lucerne was great, about an hours walk into town across fields where views were great. The room was comfortable. Advise a taxi back unless your the rambling type. Parking was spot on.
The bathroom was run down, the tile grout was filthy. The shower tray didn't drain and the water was just warm, not very pleasant. We upgraded too so we didn't have to share a bathroom with other guests, wish I hadn't have bothered. Room 28 we had.
Located in countryside but was convenient to walk or bus into centre of Lucerne. Great views over City and walks around hotel Restaurant food was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff. Relaxing
Best place to have a quiet holiday, but you'd better have your our car. Most wonderful view from the window, overlooking the lake, the mountains and valley - super at sunrise! Clean and lovely room, with comfortable beds. We arrived after 8pm so the staff directed us through phone and it's helpful. The free fruit was cute.
It would be better to have one more chair :P
The view
Staff were generally not helpful ( Manuela notable exception). Could not have drink on terrace but inside a stuffy dining room.
Good location for a stopover on our way home, because it is very easy to reach from the highway. If you come for a visit to Luzern it's a bit inconvinient though. Reception was very kind, and the breakfast good (even if you're the last person to have breakfast, you still have a croissant, because they serve it to you). No problem to have shared bathroom, everything is clean and modernized.
Stayed here for two days. Clean, relaxing and wonderful property. Around 1.2 km from the Kriens junction. Greenery all around and perfect picturesque feeling. Clean, spacious, bright rooms, ventilated, well maintained bath and toilets. Complementary fruits for guests, free net surfing at 1st floor. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. The restaurant is closed in the evening on Mondays. Hotel is around 15 minutes' drive from Lucerne station. The taxi costs appx 35 CHF. The bus station at Kriens is around 1.2 kms to hotel. The hotel runs shuttle bus to Kriens during day time.
The downside for this property is connectivity to Kriens and city. But that was compensated by the wonderful view of the surroundings and relaxing environment.
Excellent location! The view was incredible. Our room was small but comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Non-included breakfast seemed expensive ($15 CHF)
We loved this friendly and well managed hotel set in a superb quiet location in the countryside high above Lucerne. There are several marked walking routes close to the hotel with clear signs telling you the distance and timings. Fantastic communications facilities offering high speed Wi Fy and mobile services. Good restaurant and breakfast. Excellent English spoken. Free parking.
There is very little not to like. It does not have a lift and it might be difficult to reach without your own transport as it is right out in the countryside - although there is public transport available.
Worst by location. Better for local people who drives there else it is really bad location to stay there

Halelujah, I'm free at last!!!!!
From debt, that is. It feels so good. I don't know how people go long periods of time with huge amounts owed to school or hospitals; I felt like it was looming over me this entire time. I felt almost criminal not paying it, like everything I bought was just borrowed and everything I earned was really for someone else. When the Bible talks about the borrower being servant to the lender, this is what it means.
And if you've ever lent a friend or family member money, you know first hand how the dichotomy of the relationship changes. To avoid the resentment, bitterness and awkwardness that usually follows, I've made a point of not loaning money anymore. If I pay anything for a friend, that's it; its a gift. I'd rather lose money than a friend.
I know my debt was miniscule in comparison to so many others struggling with debt in America, so if you' like to be inspired by someone truly tackling their debt and dealing with finances in a mature, Godly, and gazelle-intense way, check out my friends Brian and Stephanie's new blog, The Debt Free Adams Family. These guys are newly married and awesome, and I'm certainly looking forward to keeping up with them along their journey to financial freedom. Encourage them, friends, and when they've paid this debt off by Steph's birthday next year, lets celebrate with them.

I am trying to recruit new specialists to my practice. Who is my competition, and how do I distinguish myself?
"Specialty practices trying to attract new specialists aren't just competing with other practices," says Mark Opperman, CVPM, owner of VMC Inc., a veterinary consulting firm in Evergreen, Colo. "They're also competing with universities."
Opperman says some specialists may lean toward the university environment because they offer good benefits, a 9 to 5 work schedule, and a lighter caseload. "In my opinion, it is a very different practice environment," he says. "But some specialists prefer private practice because they have more entrepreneurial opportunities. They might work longer hours, but they can buy into the practice later on and reap the financial benefits of ownership and interest."
Universities typically offer specialists an annual salary that may not fluctuate that much during the course of the year. Opperman says specialists working in a private practice have more earning power because they are paid based on their production, which means there is no limit on how much they can make.
Regardless of the pros and cons associated with the private practice and university environments, Opperman says money will always be a part of the decision. "You have to stay competitive because there's a huge demand for specialists all over the country. And they've got options. I know one specialist presently at a university that has four offers on the table," he says.

Why Halcon Resources (HK) Is Gaining Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Halcon Resources (HK - Get Report) was gaining 5.4% to $4.03 Tuesday on news that that company will sell its Woodbine properties and related assets in east Texas.
The transaction will see the company sell the Woodbine properties and related assets to an unnamed privately-held company for a total of $450 million. Halcon expects the deal will close some in mid-April 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Dividend Stocks
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 5003.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$8.04 million to -$410.39 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.20 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.49, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, HALCON RESOURCES CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $102.32 million or 2.18% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow of 2.18%, HALCON RESOURCES CORP is still significantly exceeding the industry average of -52.18%.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 48.75%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 2425.00% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

Delores Chrisler Kuhlmann
In Slidell, Louisiana on Wednesday, November 21, 2012, a beautiful life on earth ended to begin anew in heaven. Delores Kuhlmann, after eighty-three wonderful years, joins family who preceded her to the next life; husband, Dr. M. L. Kuhlmann, parents, Kenneth and Alma Austin Chrisler, and sister, Eileen C. Unglesby.
Mrs. Kuhlmann was a resident of Montgomery, Louisiana where she and Dr. Kuhlmann moved to begin his medical practice in 1950 and she remained until health issues required her stay in Slidell for the past two years. Delores enjoyed family, friends, love and laughter. If you loved her; she loved you back tenfold and you were blessed with her spirit and joy and given an opportunity to look at life in a bit more positive way.
Her pride in life was her three sons and their families with whom she made wonderful memories and left a legacy of a well-lived life.
Kenneth and Scottie, granddaughter Kelli, husband Chad Cardwell, and great-granddaughter Madeline.
Gerald Wayne and Janet, granddaughter Sundae, husband Heath Rachal, and great-grandchildren McKenzie and Madison, grandson Skye, wife Sabrina, and great-granddaughter Rayven.
Lee and Rhonda, grandsons Zak, wife Lauren, Jim, wife Hailey and great-granddaughter Hannah. She is also survived by a sister, Janet Rice.
Her sons and their families invite extended family and friends to join them as they remember and honor her life on Saturday, November 24, 2012, First United Methodist Church, Montgomery, Louisiana. Visitation from 10:00 am until service at 2:00 pm, under the direction of Southern Funeral Home of Winnfield. A family graveside service will take place at a later date.
Three generations of Chrisler and Kuhlmann families have been members and supporters of the Masonic and Shriners organizations. To honor her memory and fulfill her wish, please consider contributions to: Shriners Hospitals for Children, Office of Development, 2900 Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL 33607.

The Best American Comics 2012, Francois Mouly, editor (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 360 pages, $28.95 softcover)
Building Stories, by Chris Ware (Pantheon, $55)
If comic books aren't widely accepted as high art yet, they've at least graduated to becoming a very serious business, having made the crossover from a cheap, disposable form of childhood entertainment to deluxe-edition hardcover graphic novels geared to a discerning adult audience.
In Comic Versus Art, Bart Beaty, an English professor at the University of Calgary. offers up a series of essays investigating the history of the comics-art nexus, from the appropriation of comics by pop art in the mid-20th century to headlining their own museum shows today. The focus is on the importance of the comic and art "worlds" as boundary-defining institutions and "the ways in which the initial interactions of these two historically differentiated fields were filled with various kinds of antagonism" that have gradually brought about a new cultural synthesis between highbrow and lowbrow, centre and margin.
That relationship between high and low takes the form of a marriage of comics and classic literature in the second book of what will eventually be a three-volume Graphic Canon. A roughly chronological and impressively encyclopedic anthology of literature's greatest hits in comic form, Volume One took us from Gilgamesh through the Bible, Homer, Dante, Chaucer, and up to Dangerous Liaisons.
Volume Two is dedicated to the 19th century, starting with Coleridge's Kublai Khan and ending with Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray. As with the first volume, the approach is global and remarkably inclusive, with those authors who have long been friendly to illustrators — chief among them being Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allan Poe — receiving multiple interpretations.
Both above volumes are nicely produced and well edited, with a wide range of artistic styles represented by both previously published and specially commissioned work. Some artists adhere very closely to the original (a few pages from William Blake's Jerusalem are taken from the original "graphic text"), while others are drawn with a freer hand. And while obviously there are works that can only be sampled — faithful and complete graphic versions of Crime and Punishment or Anna Karenina are hard to imagine — there are a lot of complete classics among the shorter works as well.
The effect of being presented with "bleeding chunks" (that is, excerpts from longer works) is more pronounced in The Best American Comics 2012. This has the annoying effect, unique to the "Best American" series, of making you feel at times like you're reading a kind of sampler of come-ons to get you to buy the books these comics are taken from. Some of this is unavoidable, and the extracts are well chosen (this year's volume was selected by Francoise Mouly, a respected comics editor), but there's still something unsatisfying about it all.
That said, these are great comics. And new to this year's edition is a section of "comics for kids" (inverting the usual line about how comics today "aren't just for kids anymore") as well as introductory splash pages for each comic. There have been a lot of ups and downs in this series over the years, but fans will find this one of the best yet. 2012 was a good year for comics.
The final chapter of Beaty's book is devoted to the man he calls "the most influential American cartoonist to have arrived on the scene in the past 20 years" and "the artist who best occupies the role of best and brightest that the comics world has to offer today" — Chris Ware.
Not everyone is so high on Ware, but there's no denying his superstar profile. And now with Building Stories (an excerpt appears in the The Best American Comics 2012), Ware takes our thinking about graphic novels outside the box by giving us a graphic novel in a huge box: a loose collection of short comic strips, booklets, and newspaper-style broadsheets that combine to tell the story of a young woman living in Chicago.
Even if you're not in love with Ware's sometimes grand and architectural, sometimes cramped and compressed art, there's no denying he's one of the best comics writers going, creating realistic characters and investing them with quiet emotional depths.
In Building Stories he pushes his sometimes hard-to-follow non-linear storytelling a step further, with a bunch of fragments that can be read in almost any order while still retaining coherence (albeit resulting in different reading experiences). The result is something both familiar and defiantly different. Comics haven't translated well into e-books, and it may be that Ware wanted to do something that could never be adequately represented in a digital form. He has succeeded doing that and more with this introspective and compelling collage of American life.

Keep exam, say specialized high school alums
Offer more test prep. Give all 7th-graders a practice exam and allow 8th- and 9th-grade test-takers more time to complete the competitive specialized high school exam known as the SHSAT. Those are among the proposals that a coalition of graduates of the city's eight specialized high schools that use the SHSAT sent this week to City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. With the City Council slated to take up the issue of the future of the exam on Dec. 11, alumni signing the letter oppose any move to abandon the exam, the sole determinant of which students get into Stuyvesant and the other exam-based specialized high schools.
The alumni echo calls for more racial diversity at the schools, which have few black and Latino students, but say abandoning the test is not the solution. Instead, the Coalition of Specialized High School Alumni Organizations note that 15 percent of middle schools account for 85 percent of students admitted to specialized high schools and call for "correcting unequal educational opportunities that exist in the elementary and middle schools."
"Nobody wants to hear the real problem is the educational system," Larry Cary, president of the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation and one of the signers of the letter, said in an interview. People are "fooling themselves," he said, if they believe they can maintain the rigor of the specialized schools while they "wave a magic wand and overlook the fact that the educational system in New York City is as bad as it is for large numbers of kids."
Applying to middle school? Our advice & our picks
Busy is the family that has a 5th- and 8th-grader: middle school and high school applications are both due on the same day, Dec. 2!
If you are a parent of a 5th-grader, this may be your first experence with school choice. Options and selection methods vary greatly from district to district. Some districts have mostly zoned schools, others have none and some have a combination. It can be hard for families to figure out.
The biggest change this year for some Brooklyn and Queens districts, is that schools can no longer accept students solely on the basis of their state test scores. Top schools—such as Christa McAuliffe in Bay Ridge or The Academy at PS 122 in Astoria—must now consider other factors such as attendance, lateness and report card grades in addition to test scores. Selective programs for high achievers in other areas—such as Districts 2 and 3 in Manhattan, or District 15 in Brooklyn—will maintain the same "screened" application process, that may include interviews and auditions in addition to test scores and report cards.
If you're confused, the Department of Education has laid out some of the changes on its middle school page, listing the new admissions policies (PDF) for middle schools that previously admitted students by test scores. But for particulars, you may want to contact the school.
High school applications due Dec. 2! Our tips on how to apply
High school applications are due on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Have you made your list yet?
If you are still undecided where to apply, or how to rank your 12 choices, we've got last minute tips for you.
We have been visiting high schools all fall, updating our reviews and adding new slideshows. Read our school profiles and check the comments section too. Wondering what other students and parents, and even teachers, think of the school? Our InsideStats section tells you that.
If you're looking for a school with a specific theme, or one that's close to home, check out our new high school search on your desktop or mobile device. You can search by borough, subway line, middle school grades or keyword, sifting through hundreds of high schools to find the best matches.
Here are our suggestions of what to consider as you apply.
As students audition for LaGuardia, how much does art count?
This weekend, thousands of 8th and 9th graders will be presenting art portfolios, delivering monologues, dancing and singing in an effort to win admission to the elite "Fame" school, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts. But some parents and faculty say that the performances the students have been preparing for months may have less influence than the state English and math tests they took last spring.
Parents of several students who applied for admission last year said their children did well on their auditions but were rejected on the basis of their academic performance or attendance. Students applying to the school in September 2014 were the first seeking admission since Dr. Lisa Mars, a former assistant principal at Townsend Harris High School,became principal in 2013. The school's admissions director, Mark Neidorff left last spring after four years in the job.
LaGuardia is one of the city's nine specialized high schools, whose admissions process is set by the state. But while the other eight admit students entirely on the basis of an exam, the state law says children applying to LaGuardia "shall be required to pass competitive exams in music and/or the arts in addition to presenting evidence of satisfactory achievement."
New School Quality Snapshots are breath of fresh air
On Monday the Department of Education released new School Quality Reports for every city school, fulfilling its promise to abandon the labeling of each school with a single letter grade. For parents who appreciated this simple shorthand when seeking out the best school for their children, this new system may appear daunting. But for anyone who ever wondered how those grades were calculated or why some fluctuated wildly when all appeared stable on the ground, the new system will be a breath of fresh air.
The new School Quality Reports are comprised of two separate documents, both intended to make the existing school data more transparent to parents and educators alike. The School Quality Snapshot is a short and straightforward tool intended for parents. Much like InsideStats on Insideschools' profile pages, it seeks to present the most relevant information for parents in a way that is easy to read and understand. On this document, you won't see any statistical analyses or weighted comparisons, only the raw test scores, graduation rates and school survey results that matter to parents most.
A push to serve gifted kids in the Bronx; G&T deadline extended to Nov. 12
All pre-kindergarten through 2nd-graders are eligible to be tested for the city's gifted and talented programs—but the overwhelming number of test applicants come from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Bronx children are tested at the lowest rate in the city, and some say it's because efforts to reach them are lacking.
"Information is not being disseminated widely," said Bronx parent Jonathan Ettrick, whose two children attended citywide G&T schools in Manhattan.
The tests are free but parents must fill out a short form called a Request For Testing (RFT). Families may submit online or at an enrollment office. The deadline to sign up for G&T testing for the 2015-2016 school year is midnight, Nov. 7th is Wednesday, Nov. 12. The Department of Education announced on Nov. 6 that it had extended the deadline from Nov. 7.
A look at the city's most popular middle schools
The Brooklyn School of Inquiry accepted just two percent of the kids applying to its sixth-grade class last year. That makes it the most competitive middle school in the city, according to data obtained by DNAinfo New York.
The gifted and talented K-8 school in Bensonhurst — known for progressive teachers who eschew textbooks in favor of hands-on experiences — received more than 3,100 applications for just 66 spots in its sixth-grade class last fall. Nearly all of those spots went to kids who were already attending the school's fifth grade.
"It's a small school," principal Donna Taylor said of the popularity of BSI's sixth grade. "The students have the attention that, quite frankly, kids at that age need."
The Brooklyn School of Inquiry is not the only public middle school that rejects far more applicants than it accepts.
Missing ticket? You can still take the SHSAT
If you haven't gotten your ticket for this weekend's specialized high school exam, don't panic. You'll be able to sit for the test without it, according to the Department of Education. The DOE posted a notice on its website saying that all scheduled students will be "welcomed and tested" even without a ticket. It also posted a list of test locations and times (pdf) for every middle school.
This week, some schools reported they had trouble printing tickets and others said they didn't get the tickets at all.
At Mark Twain middle school, it took the staff a day and a half to print out 350 tickets for its 8th-graders because of a glitch in the system, said Parent Coordinator Delgermaa Ganbaatar. "It has been very stressful. The system couldn't handle all the requests at once." The school finished printing at noon Friday, she said, and got them into the hands of students before they went home. Mark Twain sends more students annually to Stuyvesant High School than any other middle school.
Essay question for SHSAT in 2016? Admissions in flux
The Specialized High School Admissions Test that thousands of 8th-graders will take this weekend has long been a multiple-choice exam scored by a machine. But there are indications that the new exam students will take starting in in 2016 might have an essay component.
Last month, the city issued a Request for Proposals for a new SHSAT, which is the sole determinant of whether a student gets into one of the eight academically elite high schools. The current contract with Pearson runs out in 2016 so the city must put the test out for bids and sign a new contract with someone to create a test for fall 2016 and beyond.
The new RFP tells prospective bidders that including hand-scored "constructed response and/or essay response" questions would be "desired but not required." If the test does have essays, the RFP goes on to say, the bid must include "information on the items themselves and on how and by whom the items would be scored."
Later on, the document refers again to "shorter written and/or essay responses," saying bidders may "optionally address" them.
When public school falls short for special needs kids
I am the proud parent of a bright, creative, and unique daughter with learning disabilities. Like many children with high-incidence disabilities, my daughter outperforms in certain academic areas and underperforms in others. From kindergarten until 3rd grade, she relied on these skills and managed in a general education classroom with some extra services. She had caring, committed teachers, well versed in different learning styles.
By the second week of 3rd grade, however, it became clear that she would have problems. The rapid implementation of Common Core Standards combined with an unsympathetic classroom teacher made her deteriorate—academically, emotionally and socially. The principal told me that an integrated co-teaching (ICT) class—with two teachers, one a special ed expert—did not exist for her grade. I tried to switch to a nearby public school with more services, but because of 2011's special ed reform, I was told she now had to be served by her zoned school, and they were giving her all that they could.

Comments by Zia
Is Catherine in the finale? That's great, thanks for letting us know Kelly.
One more week then we start with the last 3 episodes. CBS has been promoting the crossover on most of their shows, so hopefully that will help with the ratings. Excited to see what they have in store for us. I'm hoping the BTS photos keep coming, some great ones out there. PLenkov tweeted that they had their wrap up party last night, so I guess this is the last few days of filming until July.
Looking forward to the new season. Great show.
I also am not a fan of Mary/Marshall forever. I think he needs someone like Abigail, and hope that they don't mess with that. I did enjoy this episode and felt it was one of the best ones. I can't believe there are only two left. I may not agree on how it looks they are going to end it, but I will miss this show greatly. I have truly enjoyed the writing and acting on this show.
Here's a great BTS pic of all 4 with a dog. (no not Grace's)
http://www.facebook.com/photo.... DDK tweeted it was the last Saturday for filming. Sad for us, but happy for them, they can all relax and do whatever else they want to until they have to come back in July to start season 3.
@Lena.....no problem. I've read a lot of stuff you've let us know about. We need to keep each other informed of our favorite show. Alex does look better. I'm so happy he's back. I'm really looking forward to the last episodes and of course excited that we get a season 3.
@Lena...I tried that link before and it worked and now its not. So try AOL rocks, under the 'Latest tweets' from yesterday, which would have been 4/19.
@Lena.....sorry so late, but I can't get in at work anymore. I found them on AOL rocks, they were in the "latest tweets" section. Try the twitter link below. ow.ly/aoJ6H Here is the hole tweet: (AOLRocks Thanks to @H50hana for posting BTS photos from #H50 epi 2.23! ow.ly/aoJ6H)
Some BTS photos are out for 2.23. Joe is in some of them, Chin, Steve, and Danny. I'm excited to see these, but also sad because its the last episode of the season. They usually start filming the next season in mid July, so I guess it will be a couple of months with no new pictures once the finale shows.
I saw some BTS photos on another site of Kono near some rocks, but I don't know if they were from 2.22 or 2.23. Glad to see Alex back, can't say that enough.
I loved this episode. I'm so glad that they showed who Tony really was, and the true reason why he became involved in law enforcement. It was great how they played this out and that Tony and Jason came to an understanding. Although, I would think that Jason would be able to come to that conclusion on his own, especially after becoming a arson inspector. I loved that they made it into an arc for the next episode while they go into the May sweeps.
Love this show and this episode reminded me why.

Odd Future
Tyler, the Creator Is Not a Naïve "Kid" — Chaos Is His Brand
One of the biggest headlines to come out of SXSW was the arrest of Tyler, the Creator, who allegedly incited a riot during his show Thursday. It was a weird week for the Odd Future leader, whose set at the Mohawk the previous night was canceled following the tragic car crash that transpired outside the club, precisely where many of his fans had been waiting. So it would be understandable to think that Tyler might have headed into Thursday's show wanting to forget the horrific events of the previous 18 hours, with which he was involved by simply agreeing to do his job. He wil'ed out Thursday in attempt to leave behind Wednesday's tragedy, but in doing so he nearly caused another.
Why Do We Still Care About Tyler, the Creator?
Really, what is there to say about a Tyler, the Creator album in 2013? Wolf is out tomorrow, and you've probably already made your mind up about it, whether you've heard it or not. For his part, Tyler claims he doesn't care what reviewers have to say, and neither do his oh-so-charming fans. This is a record that exists as a fait accompli, the creation of someone who's done a prize job of trolling the music industry for the best part of three years, whose entire career consists of professionally Not Giving A Fuck. … Read More

Jay-Z, Run-DMC, and More: The Made in America Fest in Photos
Jay-Z helped turn Philadelphia into a veritable music lover's paradise over Labor Day weekend with the debut of his two-day Made in America festival. The fest, which the superstar hopes to make a yearly one, included performances from Janelle Monáe, D'Angelo, Miike Snow, Odd Future, Skrillex, The Hives, Santigold, Dirty Projectors, and Drake, in addition to headline performances by Pearl Jam and Jay-Z himself. It also marked hip-hop legends Run-DMC's first return to the stage since the death of founding member Jam Master Jay in 2002. Surprise collaborations were a theme of the weekend, as well, with Eve joining Jill Scott during her set; Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music crew storming the stage to close out Jay-Z's performance, and day one, with renditions of "Mercy," "New God Flow," and, of course, "Ni**as in Paris"; and Jay himself joining Pearl Jam for an unprecedented take on "99 Problems." Even President Obama showed up, albeit in video form, urging people to vote while Jay looked on.

Rah Digga Hits Back at Tyler, the Creator in Epic Diss Track
Tyler, the Creator has always had lady problems — but never like this before. As Clutch reports, Rah Digga has dropped a diss track aimed at the Odd Future rapper, in response to both some nasty tweets he sent her and his homophobic lyric about MC Lyte ("Let's get it poppin' like MC Lyte, around some dykes/I'm, out this bitch like hocus pocus/And me and Lucas got a couple of pickles," from "Rella"). Called "The Nigga in Me," Rah Digga's song includes such biting lyrics as, "Fuck is you creatin', son, a whole generation / Of some, hey Horton, skateboardin', worshippin' Satan asses / Bingein' on drugs, somebody get me the gloves / I don't think they need deals, man, I think they need hugs / And I was trying to support this young black man / It's too bad you probably lost your only black fan." Tyler has already responded in typical fashion, i.e. via Twitter. Listen to Rah Digga's track after the jump and let us know whose side you're taking. … Read More

About 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and by 2030, nearly a fifth of the U.S. population will be composed of senior citizens, according to findings from the Pew Research Center. They may not feel that old (many boomers say old age begins at 72 ), b
The University of Washington's School of Social Work will launch a new center – called the Healthy Generations Hartford Center of Excellence in Geriatric Social Work – with a public lecture and reception Thursday, Feb. 27.
At the public kickoff event, Wendy Lustbader, an affiliate associate professor of social work and an expert on aging and end-of-life issues, will talk about the changing culture of aging in America. She will speak at 5:30 p.m. in room 305 of the UW School of Social Work, 4101 15th Ave., Seattle. A reception will follow her talk. Register online for the free event.
The new UW center will focus on caregiving that promotes independence and dignity of elders as well as the health and well-being of their caregivers.
"It will enable us to promote the health and resilience of adults in midlife and older and their families, especially those from marginalized communities," said Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen, director of the center and a UW professor of social work. "We are very excited to continue our partnership with the Hartford Foundation and the Gerontological Society of America in improving the lives of older adults and their families."
Named for its funder, The John A. Hartford Foundation, the new UW center was chosen by The Gerontological Society of America to be one of five centers around the country to help train social workers in geriatric care. The center will foster translational research that could be used in practice and policy-making. The initiative will also develop curriculum materials for students and practitioners.
With a multigenerational focus, the UW center will take on issues related to health and aging across the generations, including middle-aged adults looking after their parents, as well as for grandparents – who are raising their grandchildren through kinship care arrangements instead of foster care. The center will design competency-based curriculum, so that future social workers can successfully advocate for older adults, caregivers and their families.
Five $3,000 scholarships will be awarded this coming year through the Lynn Pigott Mowe Scholars program to students pursuing a master's degree in social work at UW and will support their studies on health promotion, prevention and aging with midlife and older adults and their families.

Christie Applauds ShowCanada 2011 25th Anniversary and Canadian Exhibitors
Canadian moviegoers have always expected the best in cinema quality and a full range of content on their screens, and the theatre owners who make up the Motion Picture Theatre Associations of Canada (MPTAC) have been meeting this expectation for many years. Helping them to achieve best-of-breed quality in projection and state-of-the-art digital signage and lobby displays is the goal of Christie®, the exhibitorsâ valued partner, which now supplies 90 percent of the nationâs digital cinema projector installations.
With the industryâs 25th anniversary conference, ShowCanada 2011, scheduled for May 31âJune 2, in Ottawa, it is notable that Christie contributes greatly to Canadaâs knowledgebase in cinema and visual display technology. The company is the only provider of high performance digital cinema projectors headquartered in North America, with its manufacturing located in Kitchener, Ontario.
âChristieâs digital cinema solutions provide eye-popping image quality the first time and every time a movie is shown,â? says Dave Muscat, senior director of sales, Christie Canada. âChristie also makes it possible to provide the seamless 3D imaging and alternative content that exhibitors need to serve their customers.â?
Notes Kathryn Cress, vice-president of global and corporate marketing, Christie: âOur commitment to customized solutions and Canadian service and support make Christie the exhibitorsâ choice for digital conversion among both Canadaâs largest theatre chains and its smaller, independent venues.â?
For Cineplex Entertainment (âCineplexâ: TSX: CGX), Christie is part of the next-generation cinema experience. âChristie projectors provide the sharpest available on-screen image so our guests can enjoy the stunning imagery of todayâs movies the way they are meant to be enjoyed â on a big screen in a theatre,â? says Pat Marshall, vice president, communications & investor relations, Cineplex Entertainment.
Recent Highlights of Christie Cinema Success in Canada:
-In March 2011, Cineplex hosted a world-first showing of a movie in 4K DLP® cinema for moviegoers at Galaxy Cinemas in Waterloo, Ontario, using the new Christie CP4200 platform. The premium, high-definition 4K digital cinema format delivers four times more pixels than mainstream digital cinema and is capable of displaying on 2D screens as wide as 105 feet, and 3D screens as wide as 75 feet.
-Quebecâs leading independent movie chain â Les Cinémas Ciné Entreprise â becomes the first chain in Quebec to go 100 percent digital when it purchases 24 Christie CP2000 Series projectors. The chain is an innovator in offering advertising and promotional support to its member cinemas, and Christieâs solution makes it possible to offer even more options.
-Christie supplied its powerful Cine-IPM processors to Cineplex for its February 2011 high definition (HD) screenings of traditional Japanese Kabuki Theatre at select cinemas in Toronto and Vancouver. Christieâs Cine-IPM processing module converts incoming analog or digital signals into a format suitable for digital cinema projectors. It is renowned in the industry as the highest quality, format-conversion solution available, facilitating accurate display of alternative content such as theatre productions, broadcast television, satellite, business presentations and HDTV sources. It would not have been possible to show traditional Kabuki on the big screen without the processors.
-In January 2011, Christie shared the screen with Cinéma Pine at Ciné-Québec âLe Rendez-Vous Festif et Ãclaté,â a four-day cinema industry celebration. Cinéma Pine, established in 1948, and the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned theatre business in Québec, showed private screenings of two new Québec releases, âLa Véritéâ by Marc Bisaillon and âAngle Mortâ by Dominic James, using a Christie DLP Digital Cinema® projector, the worldâs most installed brand. Christie is also a sponsor of Ciné-Québec, an annual conference for Quebec cinema professionals.
-Christieâs digital cinema projectors, including the new generation Christie Solaria⢠Series 4K-ready DLP Cinema® projectors, screened a record number of digital titles at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival®, September 9 â19, 2010. Celebrating 10 years as projection sponsor for the festival, Christie has played a key role in the festivalâs growing use of digital projection technology to reflect the innovative works of a new generation of filmmakers.
Approaching 20,000 digital projectors installed to date across the globe, with more added daily, Christie is the world leader in the 2D and 3D digital screening market.

Below are current clinical trials.
Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.
Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
Dabrafenib is a potent and selective inhibitor of BRAF kinase activity. This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dabrafenib administered as a single agent and in combination with trametinib in stage IV disease to subjects with BRAF mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Subjects will receive dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily (BID) in monotherapy treatment and dabrafenib 150 mg bid and trametinib 2 mg once daily in combination therapy and continue on treatment until disease progression, death, or unacceptable adverse event.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
The rationale for this trial is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of allogeneic HCT for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive hematological malignancies and coincident HIV-infection. In particular, the trial will focus on the 100-day non-relapse mortality as an indicator of the safety of transplant in this patient population. Correlative assays will focus upon the incidence of infectious complications in this patient population, the evolution of HIV infection and immunological reconstitution. Where feasible (and when this can be accomplished without compromise of either the donor quality or the timeliness of transplantation), an attempt will be made to identify donors who are homozygotes for the delta32 mutation for CCR5.
Open for enrollment
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nivolumab is effective in the treatment of DLBCL in patients that have failed or are ineligible for ASCT
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This phase II trial studies how well proteasome inhibitor MLN9708 works in treating patients with relapsed multiple myeloma that is not refractory to bortezomib. Proteasome inhibitor MLN9708 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth or tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving sunitinib malate and gemcitabine hydrochloride together is more effective than sunitinib malate alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II clinical trial is studying giving sunitinib malate together with or without gemcitabine hydrochloride to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in complete remission will receive eltrombopag while undergoing consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose cytarabine. Eltrombopag may help increase the number of platelets during chemotherapy and may help prevent the risk of bleeding.
Phase I will study the side effects, best dose and platelet effects of eltrombopag when given with consolidation chemotherapy. After the maximum safe and tolerated dose and schedule is found in Phase I, the study will proceed to Phase II. Phase II will confirm the dose and schedule of eltrombopag identified in Phase I that can increase platelet counts in patients receiving consolidation therapy.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This study considers the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of CX-4945 in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), followed by a randomized study that compares antitumor activity in cholangiocarcinoma patients receiving the standard of care gemcitabine plus cisplatin versus CX-4945 at the combination MTD with gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from family members of patients with cancer to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting blood and tissue samples from family members of patients with pancreatic disease, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma.
Single arm, open-label study to provide Defibrotide to patients diagnosed with VOD. Defibrotide is no longer available though the Emergency Use IND mechanism (also known as compassionate use, or single patient named use). This protocol is the only mechanism by which Defibrotide can be made available to patients in the U.S.
This is a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study. Subjects with unresectable pleural or peritoneal malignant mesothelioma will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either tremelimumab or placebo. Approximately 564 subjects will be enrolled at study centers in multiple countries. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, a 90-day follow-up period for safety, and a long-term survival follow-up period.
