James Franco's NYU professor fired for giving actor a bad grade?
http://www.nma.tv
Former New York University professor Jose Angel Santana is suing NYU, claiming he was fired for giving James Franco a "D" for skipping class. The ticked-off teacher claims Franco missed 12 out of 14 meetings of Tish School for the Arts course Directing the Actor II.
Santana lashed out at NYU for creating, what he called, a "Franco-friendly environment," in which high-profile students are permitted to effectively buy their degrees without having to do the work. He alleges Franco, an Academy Award-nominated actor, didn't take his other courses seriously, but professors passed him anyway because of his celebrity status.

He alleges Franco, an Academy Award-nominated actor, didn't take his other courses seriously, but professors passed him anyway because of his celebrity status.
Known for such films as 127 Hours and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Franco has gone back to school to pursue graduate programs in film and writing. He has already earned master's degrees from NYU, Columbia and Brooklyn College and is pursuing a doctorate from Yale. Accusations of academic slacking have long haunted Franco in the tabloids, with a candid photo of Franco sleeping through a lecture in 2009 as the most publicized piece of evidence.
Despite rumors of lackluster performance as a student, Franco has gone on to teach courses of his own. He made headlines early this year when he partnered with Columbia College Hollywood to create a film editing course in which students spliced footage from his own body of work called Master Class: Editing James Franco ... with James Franco.

Tops Friendly Markets giving away Rx Timer Cap - YNN, Your News Now - New York
Top Friendly Markets giving away Rx Timer Cap

If you've ever forgotten whether or not you've taken your medicine, you're not alone. It's such a common issue that companies are developing strategies to help people remember. One of those is the Rx Timer Cap, which tells you the exact amount of time since the pill bottle was last opened. As our Katie Gibas reports, one pharmacy chain thinks it's so important that they're giving the product away.
NEW YORK STATE - 01/11/2012 -- For those taking medications regularly, it can become such a habit that sometimes you might forget whether or not you actually took your medication for the day.
"I probably get at least two or three calls a day just, 'Oh, what do I do if I don't remember if I took it. Should I take it now? Should I take it tomorrow,'" said Meaghan Fahd, a pharmacist at the Tops in Baldwinsville.
That's one of the reasons Tops Friendly Markets' pharmacies decided to introduce the Rx Timer Cap, which is a special pill bottle topper that tells you how long it's been since the bottle was opened.
An independent study of 10,000 people found a 33.9 percent increase in medication compliance over three months for those using the Rx Timer Cap. Tops is the first pharmacy in New York to introduce the technology.
"Medication adherence and compliance is a huge problem now, especially in the elderly. They have complex medication regimens and taking several doses of medication different times a day. As you get older, your memory isn't what it used to be, so they're finding it to be very helpful to know if they did take the medicine or didn't take the medicine," said Fahd.
Besides helping you remember if and when you took your pills, the timer cap can also help you find out if you're the only one taking your pills.
"Any controlled medication should be kept in a controlled area. So it would be better to have a safe or something, but that's not always accessible to people. So this would be a good alternative, I would say because if you didn't open your bottle, but the time restarted, you'll know that someone did," said Fahd.
With prescription drug overdose as the number one cause of accidental death in the U.S. and about 10 percent of hospital admissions for seniors caused by improperly taking medications, pharmacists say anything that can help reduce those numbers is crucial.
Tops will be giving away an Rx Timer Cap to anyone who makes a pharmacy purchase between now and February 2012.
