The End of the World is coming for actor James Franco. Well, not really. He's just reportedly facing a lawsuit. Franco was slammed with a defamation lawsuit Tuesday in New York City by his former NYU film professor, who says that the actor spoke poorly about him after Franco received a "D" for skipping class.
The plaintiff José Angel Santana's attorney Matthew Blit tells Hollywood.com, "The suit was filed to prevent Mr. Franco from further defaming Dr. Santana as well as to obtain monetary damages that Mr. Franco's caused by his latest public remarks."
"Whoever was in Clint Eastwood's chair at the Republican National Convention was more present than Mr. Franco was in my classes," Santana said to the New York Post. He called Franco a "bully," adding, "He uses the bully pulpit of his celebrity to punish anyone who doesn't do his bidding."
According to the report, Santana is asking for an unspecified amount of money, claiming that Franco made "disparaging and inaccurate public statements."
"I didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of those falsehoods," said Santana, who was fired in September 2011. "I was outraged that someone with his attendance record at NYU had the audacity to make those statements."
After Santana was let go by the university, Franco told reporters, "I didn't feel like I needed to waste my time with a bad teacher. No teacher will ever be fired from NYU for giving a student a 'D.' He wasn't fired, he was asked not to come back after three years because they didn't think he was a good teacher." Franco added in another interview, "He is not going to be hired at another institution."
Santana is now claiming that Franco defamed him despite the fact that the actor allegedly had access to Santana's "overwhelmingly positive student evaluations."
Hollywood.com has yet to hear back from Franco's rep.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
City duffers get seriously teed off
Golfing season begins despite snow
Golfers rejoice!
Though most driving ranges have been stirring for a couple of weeks, the 2013 golf season kicked off in Winnipeg Friday when the John Blumberg Golf Course opened 18 of its 27 holes to duffers.
The three other municipal courses -- Crescent Drive, Harbour View and Kildonan Park -- are ready to tee off this morning, finally signalling an end to a long, wintery existence for those who love to spoil a nice walk by trying to hit a small white ball with an angled metal club into a tiny hole.
"The weather looks great and our booking sheets are full for the weekend, so it should be busy," said John Bowen, director of golf at Blumberg. "Once we determined we'd shoot for a Friday opening, and I think we made that decision Monday or Tuesday, people started to book spots."
Player's Golf Course is also scheduled to open this morning, while St. Boniface and Niakwa are prepping for Sunday. Other clubs, such as Transcona and Glendale, are planning to open early next week.
Brad Kirton, the assistant pro at the nine-hole Player's course, says today's opening comes earlier than he originally thought, as last week's rain and snow and generally miserable weather forced him to curb all expectations.
"People are anxious to get out there," said Kirton. "Hopefully, the weather continues to hold and things dry up even more."
Incidentally, Environment Canada is calling for sunny skies all weekend with daytime highs in the middle to upper teens.
Friday's opening at Blumberg was three weeks later than its average start date (April 11) and a far cry from the March 17 opening the course had in 2012. The 47-day delay from last season certainly won't be good for business, but Bowen wasn't ready to forecast doom and gloom concerning the bottom line.
A long winter could mean a long summer, he said. "These things have a way of balancing themselves out."
As for the natural green, Bowen said the course is in "pretty good" shape and the extra days of snow cover and cold temperatures have not resulted in any increased winter kill or snow mould. Some areas are a little soggy, especially the holes near the Assiniboine River, but things should dry sufficiently in the next few days. Bowen anticipates all 27 holes will be open Sunday.
For those looking to play the public city courses, reservations for tee times at Crescent Drive and Kildonan Park can be made one of three ways: calling 311 (open 24 hours every day); contacting the course directly or through the three-day advance online reservation system (winnipeg.ca/golf). Online bookings for John Blumberg and Harbour View can be made at drivetheball.com.

Thread: How do you get stuck drums off?
if u got the dough go to a rental store and get u a small compressor and an air chisel. i had to use one on my old jeep. 3 different sledge hammers homemade expander. [a clamp cut in half flip them backwards and put the halfs of c clamp back on the big screw n when u turn the arm of the clamp it pushes out instead of in] didnt work. air chisel just chisel turn it some chisel turn it some more chisel etc etc. that got mine off.
---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
or rent a ductile iron cutoff saw made buy stihl. just cut the drum off. when all else fails its sometimes what u gotta ive had to use a cutoff wheel to get stuck bolts off the brake caliper once. hey u could also try pb let it soak n dry then get a propane torch and het it then hit with a sledge. or try the opposite and get a can of that freeze off. might be cheaper.
02-17-2012, 01:09 PM #12This thread frightens me.
I did my '91 rear drum brakes. I really hate drum brakes. I'm on my second front brake job on my '98. I haven't even looked at the rears, but I suspect it is time. I almost want to splurge for the disc conversion just so I don't have to deal with this.

Maybe I could drill out the 4 bolts in the axle flange and just toss out the axle and all.

Don't worry, My '99 has spent the better part of the last three years sitting in the prior owner's yard. He kept the battery charged and the fuel good, but didn't drive it any more than to keep the tires from settling in with a huge flat spot.
You probably won't see them stuck on. Driving keeps the brakes hot and DRY.

99 K1500 here, and I went through your experience a few years back. If you have the lug nuts off and the brake shoes backed off, on a K1500 there's nothing else but rust holding the drum onto the axle. You're doing the right things - soak it in Liquid Wrench or PBlaster and have at it with the BFH. Repeat until successful. It will come off eventually, keep at it. Good luck!
03-01-2012, 07:20 AM #16I should have updated this a week ago. Absolutely - having decided to purchase new drums if I managed to dent the existing ones, I just hauled of and BFH'ed the beeeeJeeeezzus, out'n the danged thangs. They popped off, dent free. (I have a couple of EXPENSIVE woodworkers straight edge guages to tell) THEN I had the same problem with both wheel cylinders. Can't believe how tight those things were rusted to the backing plate. Got 'em off.
Everything's back together. Apparently old brake shoes soaked in brake fluid don't work very well. Now that I have new shoes and wheel cylinders, the rear brakes actually work. I only have to push about 2/3 as hard as before even though the old shoes were almost full thickness. I think as well lubed as the old shoes were, they'd have lasted another 100K miles.
The "E" brake works now too. It'll hold on an incline in "D" and "R". YIPPEE.

This unusual epic from the Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz portrays five generations of one sprawling family against the upheavals of two centuries of modern Egyptian history.Set in Cairo, Morning and Evening Talk traces three related families from the arrival of Napoleon to the 1980s, through short character sketches arranged in alphabetical order. This highly experimental device produces a kind of biographical dictionary, whose individual entries come together to paint a vivid portrait of life in Cairo from a range of perspectives. The characters include representatives of every class and human type and as the intricate family saga unfolds, a powerful picture of a society in transition emerges. This is a tale of change and continuity, of the death of a traditional way of life and the road to independence and beyond, seen through the eyes of Egypt's citizens. Naguib Mahfouz's last chronicle of Cairo is both an elegy to a bygone era and a tribute to the Egyptian spirit.

Nanomaterials producer Veeco Instruments has purchased the assets of DayStar Technologies, a maker of copper, indium, gallium, selenium films that are used to make solar energy cells.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Due to the purchase, Veeco said it intends to build a "Solar Process Development Center" at DayStar's Clifton Park, NY-based facility. Veeco, which specializes in coatings and films that are only a few molecules thick, already is in the business of making solar cells.
From the announcement:
John Peeler, Veeco's Chief Executive Officer, added, "This transaction is another example of Veeco's commitment to the fast-growing CIGS thin film marketplace. In the past year we have rapidly expanded our CIGS product line to include integrated thermal deposition sources, our FastFlex™ platform for flexible CIGS solar cells and our FastLine™ platform for CIGS on glass. Based upon the broad end market applications for CIGS in solar farms, building integrated and portable devices, combined with CIGS' forecasted competitiveness on a cost/watt basis, we see a $750M equipment market opportunity for CIGS by 2011."

7:00 a.m. All is quiet at the track except for the radio remote that popular deejay, Bob Robbins, is doing for his listeners at KSSN in Little Rock.

It's normal to have a good Saturday and Sunday preceding the President's Day, but this was an especially good crowd. Anticipating what might happen for Monday's crowd was tough. Read More

This has been a difficult year for handicapping at Oaklawn, in part because there has been no single dominant jockey or trainer who is completely dependable. I thought, at the beginning of the season, that Robby Albarado would totally dominate the jockeys and that Jamie Ness would be clearly the big name in the trainer rankings. So far both are doing okay, but they haven't achieved the status which handicappers need to be dependable in tough calls. Read More

McCarthy is an idiot if he does not hire Cuthert.... Wait we already knew that when he fired him. Who is the bigger man here, Cithbert who continued helping the city without being paid or McCarthy who fired him because he was not bowed to by him?
Schenectady's financial picture better
City spent $2.3 million less than expected
SCHENECTADY Schenectady might find a $2.3 million nest egg under the tree this year.
Finance Commissioner Ismat Alam said she was confident she could replenish the city's empty savings account before leaving for her new job next year at Proctors.
"I will make sure the fund balance is where it needs to be," she said.
Given the city's financial trouble this year — among other things, officials drained a savings account to pay a $1 million bill to the county — the good news might be unbelievable.
But Mayor Gary McCarthy has said all year that things wouldn't be as bad as they seemed.
"The city is in difficult times, but not the crisis people have projected," he said.
He wouldn't comment on the precise nest egg figure until the city finishes the year, but said he has been working "every day" to find unnecessary expenses or potential savings.
Former city budget analyst Jason Cuthbert says he also thinks the city will wind up with an extra $2.3 million at the end of the year.
But the city is still in the hole.
The 2012 budget called for spending $4.8 million more than it raised in revenues. The city was going to use savings to make up the difference.
There have been unexpected expenses since then, but the city also collected more than $1 million in unbudgeted tax revenue.
"The prior year's tax collection came in much stronger than we predicted," Cuthbert said. "The foreclosure worked. In the last week people had to pay, the city took in $600,000 … In one week."
The city had to give a tax collection firm a portion of the revenue, but the city still netted more than $1 million, Cuthbert said.
And the 2012 city budget also had "the typical padding," Cuthbert said, referring to budgeted items that were intentionally set higher than the actual expense so that the city could have leftover funds.
By Cuthbert's calculations, the city will end up spending $2.5 million more than it brought in this year. That's $2.3 million less than it budgeted to overspend, which means the city would get to keep its savings account flush.
The city still has a $2.5 million structural deficit, which it must reduce to zero in the next few years. But cutting it in half in one year will put the city in a much better position than expected.
Cuthbert is still reviewing and analyzing the city's books, even though McCarthy fired him two months ago after he publicly opposed the mayor's stance on the sales tax contract with the county.
After his termination, Cuthbert worked closely with Councilman Carl Erikson, the chairman of the finance department, in crafting the $78 million 2013 adopted budget, which was significantly different from the budget McCarthy proposed.
Cuthbert has also worked closely with Councilman Vince Riggi, who has turned to him for advice on many financial issues.
And he's even sent in an application for the finance commissioner position. McCarthy needs to hire someone by January, although he is hoping to find a way to work with the county on a consolidated position.
Cuthbert said he's hoping for the job — but he's not counting on getting hired by the man who fired him. He's applying for other jobs too.
"I've got some irons in the fire," he said.
Cuthbert was spot on about the County sales tax ripoff. There would be no deficit if we received our per capita share of County sales taxes. 42% of the population gets 15%? Don't forget joke Metroplex which gives millions to the towns, zero in direct payments to the City while taking prime City commercial property permanently off the tax rolls. The biggest problem in the City is the clueless Mayor and his Democratic rubber stamps.
There aught to be money left over. They have conveniently ignored last winter's savings on plowing and salting, both which were nearly non existent due to fair weather. When we get a lot of snow and freezing they are quick to tell us what it costs, but when there is a windfall savings all we hear is more crying over money.

Found October 31, 2012 on
Fox Sports North:
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Adrian Peterson is a beast on the football field, one of the best and toughest running backs in the NFL.
This week he turned himself into a beast off the field.For the Minnesota Vikings' Halloween party, Peterson dressed as the Hulk and then tweeted a picture that would make Dr. David Banner proud. And when Peterson is involved, there's no need for any artificial muscles. He can simply paint himself green.
"You never know how ripped he is until I saw him as the Hulk," quarterback Christian Ponder said. "He's unbelievable."Peterson, who has carried the Vikings' offense with a league-high 775 rushing yards, simply took his super hero act off the field. He's also shown otherworldly recuperative powers coming back from December ACL surgery no accidental overdose of gamma rays required -- so the costume was very fitting in the case of one of the league's top stars.

... and that's why you should use the html lang attribute, and search engines should read it. Two of the first three Russian-language hits for the search terms cited (which will probably be deleted by a moderator since you made the mistake of admitting a relationship to the product) say explicitly "lang=ru". Same for bing-- though they do come up with more English in the top 10.
The absence of a "lang=something-other-than-english" tag doesn't automatically mean the page is in English. But its presence should imply pretty strongly that it is not. :(

FISCAL YEARS of active retention [enter a number or leave blank; this would typically be 2-5 years] MODIFIER – An optional phrase that modifies the number of fiscal years or is used instead of fiscal years. For example: after origination, after the event, after enrollment ends, after approval, until revised or replaced, etc. RECORD MANAGED BY During active retention when the records might be referenced often or occasionally, what unit will have the responsibility of "managing" this record? *If this record type has an active retention period, this field is required. Inactive Retention Inactive record – A university record that is no longer needed during the regular course of operations, but that is retained for legal or business purposes; the record may be stored within a unit or in a central repository. FISCAL YEARS of inactive retention [enter a number or leave blank; this would typically be 5-10 years] MODIFIER - An optional phrase that modifies the number of fiscal years or is used instead of fiscal years. For example: after origination, after the period of active retention, after enrollment ends, after approval, etc. RECORD STORED BY During inactive retention when this record is seldom or never used, what unit will have the responsibility of "storing" the record? *If this record type has an inactive retention period, this field is required. Permanent Retention Archival record – A university record that is retained permanently by the university for legal or business purposes; a non- record that is retained permanently by the university for reference or historical purposes. Archival records used for reference or historical purposes are stored within the University Archives.

Ginger Peach Tea Jam | March 10, 2013 | |
Excellent... One of my favorites... I also use it on meats and poured over cream cheese to spread on crackers or beer bread. |
Disappointed | August 05, 2012 | |
Love the teas...not so much the jam! Extremely sweet without even a hint of the taste of Ginger Peach Tea. |

The limbic system is a network of structures located beneath the cerebral cortex that is involved in the control of emotions, motivation and memory. This has been referred to as a fifth lobe. The term "you behaved like an animal" may have some relevance here in that the same structures found in the limbic system can be found in the brains of evolutionary ancient animals such as the alligator. In the alligator, the limbic system is heavily involved in smell, thereby playing an important role in defending territory, hunting and eating prey. In humans, the limbic system is less involved in smell and more involved in motivation and emotional behaviours.
One of the things that distinguishes the human brain from that of animals is the massive forebrain development in humans compared with animals. This has increased control over the functions of the limbic system. These functions include motivational behaviours such as obtaining food, drink and sex as well as organising emotional responses such as fear and anger. The limbic system can also be seen from an evolutionary perspective.
While the structures in this part of the brain interconnect, research has shown that the amygdala, a small almond shaped structure deep inside the brain as well as the hippocampus seem to be the main areas involved with emotions.
amygdala is found deep within the antereo-inferior region of the
temporal lobe. It connects with the hippocampus as well as the
medial dorsal nucleus of the thalamus. These connections make it
possible to play an important role in the mediation and control of
major affective activities like friendship, love and affection, on
the expression of mood, and especially on fear, rage and
One of the more significant studies
in this area has come from Joseph LeDoux Ph. D. of New York
University. His research has focused on the fear response.
It shows that a portion of the amygdala known as the lateral
nucleus appears to play a key role in fear conditioning. Follow
this link for an easy to understand link to this
[an error occurred while processing this directive] |
These studies also show that the neural responses from a fear stimulus are also carried to the thalamus. This is a brain structure near the amygdala that acts as a channel for incoming sensory signals. From the thalamus, the nerve impulses (in this case from sound) are sent to the auditory portion of the sensory cortex, a region that carries out analysis of inputs and sends appropriate information to the amygdala. When nerve signals are received that indicate a threat, it sends out signals that trigger defensive behaviour, autonomic arousal including rapid heartbeat and raised blood pressure, hypoalgesia which is a diminished capacity to feel pain, a startle reflex reaction and the production of stress hormones. These physical changes are associated with the emotion of fear.
Another part of the amygdala, the central nucleus, is the portion responsible for sending out signals to trigger the fight or flight response.
The amygdala is fundamental for self preservation. When triggered, it gives rise to fear and anxiety which lead the animal into a stage of alertness, getting ready for fight or flight.
The hippocampus is particularly involved with memory, especially the formation of long-term memory.
The hypothalamus is believed to play a part with uncontrollable, loud laughing. |
The hypothalamus is also believed to play a role in emotion. Its lateral parts seem to be involved with pleasure and rage while the median part is more likely to be involved with aversion, displeasure and a tendency to uncontrollable and loud laughing. The connections to the cortex in the temporal lobes are associated with thought and higher cognitive processes. They allow emotions to reach conscious awareness.
Hanging off the hypothalamus is the pituitary gland. The pituitary is an important part of the stress response because it acts with the hypothalamus to tell your adrenal glands to release stress hormones in response to life-threatening situations. These stress hormones flood your body so you have the energy to fight or flee. The hypothalamus and pituitary also release other hormones in response to stress, some of which can affect your emotions and contribute to feelings of anger or depression.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Vivid Entertainment LLC, the world's leading adult movie producer, demanded that the ''Lighted Candle Society'' stop a campaign against it over a confusing advertisement that has been used to recruit models in Utah. Within 24 hours the campaign was removed from www.lightedcandle.org. The confusing ad appeared to have been placed by swimwear manufacturer Vivid Vixen on Craig's List seeking interviews with ''non-professional females.'' It drew the ire of John Harmer, Chairman of the Lighted Candle Society. Mr. Harmer posted a ''Defend Your Family'' message and petition on its web site claiming that ''Vivid Video is coming to Salt Lake City on Friday, March 7, 2008 to hold auditions for young women to appear in pornographic films.'' According to the Lighted Candle Society website ''the first mission of the Lighted Candle Society is to engage in litigation with the producers and distributors of pornography.'' A message on the organization's donation page reads ''No matter how large or small your donation you will have made a commitment in behalf of defeating the Goliath of hedonism that now threatens our nation.'' The Harmer message went on to state: ''As published in their advertisement, the purpose of this audition is the act of soliciting for illicit sex and is a violation of Utah's Pandering statute...'' Upon learning of the Harmer campaign and the ad mentioning Vivid Vixen, Vivid Entertainment immediately notified Harmer's office that Vivid Entertainment is not hosting auditions in Utah, ''has had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with placing the ad in question on Craig's List'' and referred him to the Vivid Vixen website. Vivid Entertainment demanded Harmer to immediately notify all recipients of this error. About Vivid: Founded in 1984, Vivid Entertainment Group is the worlds leading adult film company. Vivid has always placed heavy emphasis on high quality erotic film entertainment and has created wide brand-name awareness through its films and through a licensing and marketing program that extends to advertising, apparel, book publishing and other products.

"Run from Reality" with Preferred Boutique
Some days I know I'd like to run from reality, don't we all sometimes? Preferred Boutique is banking on it with their newest set of adventure-themed packages geared towards getting away from it all. It's a given that most vacation and resort packages want that "escape reality" feeling, but they don't all imply the adventure that "running" from reality does. And the "Run from Reality" package name is backed up with the thrill of tandem paragliding, whitewater rafting, or (for those who want a calmer adventure) horseback riding. Starting at two nights minimum, the getaways are available now until the end of August this year.

I could make jacket! I have begun sewing last year and I didn't think I could do such a big project! I used the Amy S pattern, which is my most favourite! I am proud of myself and thank you for the Burda Style to give me chance to make many things. Here many people encouraged me to go farther. I think I can call myself from now on "intermediate" in terms of sewing skill.

cross-platform mobile payment
I am looking for a reliable mobile payment provider. A few years ago I implemented the truesenses gateway, it's actually Premium SMS. So, when the user pays, he enters his phone-number and receives a code which he then sends to a short number.
I lost a bit touch with this topic and I see there are many new providers around now, like Boku or Fortumo, and I wonder if someone here does have first hand experience with one of these "new" providers.
Especially I would like to implement the one payment gateway, which is most comfortable to use for the customer.
Also it should be independent of the smartphone/OS.
I guess I will use HTML5/jQuery (Mobile) for the mobile website. But I am really hesitating at the moment when it comes to selecting the payment provider.
I just opened my account here and I am a newb here on Sitepoint. So, I hope I am not asking any stupid questions here, haha...
Best regards,

Amy Coulter, Tze-Woei Tan, Wayne W. Zhang
LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport, Shreveport, LA.
: High-risk patients with AAA and anatomy not suited for conventional endovascular repair have limited options for treatment. The Gore Excluder endograft can be reconstrained after deployment with the development of the C3 delivery system and now can be utilized for physician-modified fenestrated endovascular repair.
Preoperative planning for fenestration of a Gore C3 Excluder aortic endograft using 3-D reconstruction of a CT angiogram. A clock-face orientation is used.
A 20F sheath is loaded onto the delivery catheter for the aortic endograft.
The endograft is partially deployed in a sterile fashion on a back table.
The location of the fenestrations are measured and marked. Fenestrations should be cut to precisely the size of the renal artery orifices or slightly smaller.
The fenestrations are made. This was initially attempted with an aortic punch; however, it was much simpler to simply cut the PTFE sharply. Wire-cutters may be needed to cut any stent struts that impinge on the fenestrations.
Radio-opaque snare wires are sutured around the fenestrations, and additional markers are sutured to the endograft for orientation.
The fenestrations are pre-cannulated with 0.014 wires.
The endograft is reconstrained using silk ties and umbilical tape and loaded into the 20F sheath on the delivery catheter. A Freer elevator is helpful in loading the superior portion of the main body, which has metal anchors that project out from the endograft.
The renal arteries and SMA are identified with angiography.
The main body is advanced to the level of the SMA, and the renal arteries are cannulated through the fenestrations with the 0.014 wires. The wires are then exchanged for stiff wires and 6F guiding sheaths are placed in the renal arteries.
The main body is deployed.
Covered stent-grafts are deployed in the renal arteries and flared into the aortic endograft.
The remainder of the procedure is finished in a conventional fashion.

Ofcourse, it's only for the first 100 to show up, for for the rest who came in only their undergarments, who wouldn't buy clothes before they leave! They should make this an annual event, I'm down! check out all the half naked shoppers here

Czech referee owns up to match-fixing
The Czech Football Federation is investigating alleged match-fixing after a referee confessed that he was asked to rig a game last season.
The federation's disciplinary committee will meet on November 20 to deal with the claims, which relate to a game between FK Jablonec and Viktoria Plzen on March 17, which Plzen won 2-0.
A report on the federation's official website states the investigation was prompted by a "notarised statement" from referee Tomas Adamek, who admits he was asked to "influence the game in return for payment."
Adamek, another official and a man accused of offering the bribe have been summoned to appear before the disciplinary panel.
In a statement on their website, Plzen "fundamentally distanced" themselves from the alleged incident and said they were ready to cooperate fully with the investigation.
