I do not think a jury would rule in favor of 1st degree murder in this case. I expect he will be found guilty on a significantly lesser charge and be out in 10-15... maybe even less with "good behavior." Hopefully it won't even be that much... like I said, teenagers make stupid decisions (his falls into that category too).

Breaking the Cycle
Many of the witnesses speak about breaking the cycle: providing opportunities for their children so that they will not face the same struggle that their parents have gone through.
The Witnesses to Hunger are tireless advocates, working for change in their own communities and on a city, state, and national level. Their work includes speaking out at various events and briefings, participating in webinars and blogging, and partnering with other advocates to create change. This year, Witnesses to Hunger in Philadelphia is focused on the issue of housing and homelessness. Under the leadership of the advisory board, the Philadelphia witnesses will be participating in service learning projects with homeless families in Philadelphia and will be working with these families to create more opportunities for affordable housing in the city. As our research shows, housing is a major factor in child health and food security. |

ABSTRACT: Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is associated with an 80% mortality rate. Non-randomised studies have suggested that decompressive surgery reduces this mortality without increasing the number of severely disabled survivors. To obtain sufficient data as soon as possible to reliably estimate the effects of decompressive surgery, results from three European randomised controlled trials (DECIMAL, DESTINY, HAMLET) were pooled. The trials were ongoing when the pooled analysis was planned. Individual data for patients aged between 18 years and 60 years, with space-occupying MCA infarction, included in one of the three trials, and treated within 48 h after stroke onset were pooled for analysis. The protocol was designed prospectively when the trials were still recruiting patients and outcomes were defined without knowledge of the results of the individual trials. The primary outcome measure was the score on the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 1 year dichotomised between favourable (0-4) and unfavourable (5 and death) outcome. Secondary outcome measures included case fatality rate at 1 year and a dichotomisation of the mRS between 0-3 and 4 to death. Data analysis was done by an independent data monitoring committee. 93 patients were included in the pooled analysis. More patients in the decompressive-surgery group than in the control group had an mRS<or=4 (75%vs 24%; pooled absolute risk reduction 51% [95% CI 34-69]), an mRS<or=3 (43%vs 21%; 23% [5-41]), and survived (78%vs 29%; 50% [33-67]), indicating numbers needed to treat of two for survival with mRS<or=4, four for survival with mRS<or=3, and two for survival irrespective of functional outcome. The effect of surgery was highly consistent across the three trials. In patients with malignant MCA infarction, decompressive surgery undertaken within 48 h of stroke onset reduces mortality and increases the number of patients with a favourable functional outcome. The decision to perform decompressive surgery should, however, be made on an individual basis in every patient.The Lancet Neurology 03/2007; 6(3):215-22. · 21.82 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To find what the mortality rate of space-occupying ('malignant') middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction is under maximum conservative intensive care. To establish whether any early indicators of survival exist. Prospective descriptive study. Neuro-critical care unit of a university hospital. Fifty-three patients (mean age 64 +/- 10 years) with 'malignant' MCA infarction. Maximum conservative intensive care using a standardized protocol (heparin, osmotherapy, tromethamol, mild hyperventilation). The start of therapy was within 12 h after the onset of symptoms. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) were recorded daily. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed on admission, on day 3 and on day 7. SSS, Barthel Index and Rankin Scale of the surviving patients were recorded after 3 months. On admission, the mean GCS was 13 +/- 3 points and mean SSS 18 +/- 7 points. All patients had to undergo mechanical ventilation (23 +/- 26 h after the onset of symptoms) and were comatose after 28 +/- 30 h. Of 53 patients, 37 (70%) suffered brain death in the intensive care unit (ICU) after an average of 90 +/- 59 h. After 3 months 42/53 (79 %) patients had died. The Barthel Index of the surviving patients was 54 +/- 12 points, the SSS 25 +/- 9 points and the Rankin Scale 3 +/- 1 points. The deceased patients had a significantly higher body temperature on admission than the surviving patients (36.8 degrees C vs 36.3 degrees C). The mortality of patients with 'malignant' MCA infarction is very high despite maximum conservative intensive care.Intensive Care Medicine 07/1998; 24(6):620-3. · 5.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many patients with stroke are precluded from thrombolysis treatment because the time from onset of their symptoms is unknown. We aimed to test whether a mismatch in visibility of an acute ischaemic lesion between diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI (DWI-FLAIR mismatch) can be used to detect patients within the recommended time window for thrombolysis. In this multicentre observational study, we analysed clinical and MRI data from patients presenting between Jan 1, 2001, and May 31, 2009, with acute stroke for whom DWI and FLAIR were done within 12 h of observed symptom onset. Two neurologists masked to clinical data judged the visibility of acute ischaemic lesions on DWI and FLAIR imaging, and DWI-FLAIR mismatch was diagnosed by consensus. We calculated predictive values of DWI-FLAIR mismatch for the identification of patients with symptom onset within 4·5 h and within 6 h and did multivariate regression analysis to identify potential confounding covariates. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01021319. The final analysis included 543 patients. Mean age was 66·0 years (95% CI 64·7-67·3) and median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 8 (IQR 4-15). Acute ischaemic lesions were identified on DWI in 516 patients (95%) and on FLAIR in 271 patients (50%). Interobserver agreement for acute ischaemic lesion visibility on FLAIR imaging was moderate (κ=0·569, 95% CI 0·504-0·634). DWI-FLAIR mismatch identified patients within 4·5 h of symptom onset with 62% (95% CI 57-67) sensitivity, 78% (72-84) specificity, 83% (79-88) positive predictive value, and 54% (48-60) negative predictive value. Multivariate regression analysis identified a longer time to MRI (p<0·0001), a lower age (p=0·0009), and a larger DWI lesion volume (p=0·0226) as independent predictors of lesion visibility on FLAIR imaging. Patients with an acute ischaemic lesion detected with DWI but not with FLAIR imaging are likely to be within a time window for which thrombolysis is safe and effective. These findings lend support to the use of DWI-FLAIR mismatch for selection of patients in a future randomised trial of thrombolysis in patients with unknown time of symptom onset.

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Michele Norris.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
A gay and lesbian march on Washington is planned for this weekend. Organizers say they are expecting tens of thousands of people. The demonstration comes at a critical time for issues such as same sex marriage, and it comes in the midst of a debate among gay activists about whether it's the right strategy at the right time.
NPR's Tovia Smith has that story.
TOVIA SMITH: When hundreds of thousands of activists for gay and lesbian rights rallied in Washington, D.C., 30 years ago…
Unidentified Man: You are so gorgeous. So I'm going to marry you all this afternoon. We're going to have a (unintelligible) wedding.
SMITH: Few could have imagined they'd see real gay weddings in their lifetime. But for all the progress made toward gay-rights, this year's march organizer, Kip Williams, says too many battles that were being fought back then are not yet won today.
Mr. KIP WILLIAMS: In some places, we have the right to get married, and in some places, you can be fired for being gay. In some places, you can't. You know, there's sort of a patchwork. But we want equality, and we're not going to accept compromises or fractions of equality.
SMITH: But this weekend's march has been bitterly criticized within the gay community. Old, established organizations and young, new bloggers have been taking organizers to task, as Alex Blaze, who writes for The Bilerico Project Web site, did in this interview with Williams.
Mr. ALEX BLAZE (Writer, The Bilerico Project): I want to be on board, but I can't seem to make that step because I don't really know what you all are doing this for. Like, what's the point?
SMITH: Many worry that the march will amount to little more than a big party and will drain resources from critical fights now raging elsewhere, such as the ballot questions that would repeal gay marriage in Maine and overturn domestic partner benefits in Washington state.
Toni Broaddus is head of the Equality Federation, an umbrella for state gay rights groups.
Ms. TONI BROADDUS (Head, Equality Federation): Honestly, the hundreds of thousands of dollars that people will spend for airfare and hotel, et cetera, I…
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. BROADDUS: I would love to see the equivalent of that money going to Washington state or going to Maine because we don't have enough resources to do all the work we need to do as it is.
SMITH: But many who spoke out against the march this summer have since toned down their rhetoric and publicly proclaimed their support, albeit somewhat halfheartedly. As one put it: Now that we know it's happening, we need to make sure it looks good.
Representative BARNEY FRANK (Democrat, Massachusetts): I think too many people, frankly, who share my view that this is going to be a waste of time, are afraid to say so because they will be considered insufficiently devoted to the cause.
SMITH: Congressman Barney Frank says rather than chanting broad slogans about equality when most members of Congress won't even be in D.C., time and energy would be better spent on old-fashioned lobbying for specific legislation.
Rep. FRANK: The most successful, militant, political organization in America is the National Rifle Association. And they've never had a march, they've never had a shoot-in. They don't do anything other than lobby members. They write, and they call, and they talk to members.
SMITH: To many, the discord among gay activists is no surprise in a movement that's just been through a major growth spurt. There are all kinds of underlying tensions: a state strategy versus a federal one, how much focus on gay marriage versus other issues, and who's calling the shots. Bil Browning, founder of The Bilerico Project Web site, says part of the carping at the march stems from the fact that the march was organized by folks outside of mainstream gay-rights organizations.
Mr. BIL BROWNING (Founder, Bilerico Project): You've got these folks that now have the ability to organize themselves on Facebook and on Twitter, through flash mobs. And I think you've got the old guard coming in and meeting the new guard head on. You know, the grassroots wants to go out and block streets. You know, the org says, no, we've got to go sit with tea and crumpets with Obama in the White House while we patiently wait for him to actually do something on any piece of LGBT rights.
SMITH: Ultimately, organizers say, there is enough work to be done that it's not an either/or kind of question. Their hope is that those who take to the streets this weekend will return home energized enough to get involved in some other efforts, like making phone calls and lobbying their representatives.

The role of the non-state provider in achieving universal health coverage
24 February 2015 | While governments have the primary responsibility in moving their nations towards UHC to ensure access to health services without direct payment at the point of service, there is growing recognition of the important role of non-state providers in contributing to both health financing and service provision in many low- and middle-income countries.
Critics argue that in many LMIC settings these providers are unregulated, provide poor quality services and that their use is associated with high out of pocket spending and impoverishment. On the other hand, the fact that people continue to use these providers, often in preference to public systems points to the important role that they play.
Health Policy and Systems Research: Building Momentum and Community
16 January 2015 | Health policy and systems research (HPSR) was barely visible on the global health agenda until 1996, when the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Ad Hoc Committee on Health Research identified it as an important but neglected field. Now, with a wide range of public health disasters – including the current Ebola epidemic – governments worldwide are beginning to recognize the need for HPSR in building resilient health systems.
The Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, Health Systems Global and WHO – bringing, respectively, a history of funding this research, broad membership and global convening power – are committed to working together to ensure that the full potential of health policy and systems research is realized.
Advancing Implementation Research and Delivery Science (IRDS)
3 February 2015 | IRDS is a collaborative enterprise focused on learning and action to improve health in "real world" conditions. IRDS employs research to improve policies and programme delivery, and to spread knowledge gained from implementation. It addresses a range of implementation challenges, including complex processes, inefficient use of resources, inequitable allocation of resources, and supply and demand barriers to scaling-up and sustainability. The consensus statement on IRDS, launched at the Cape Town Symposium, is a call for action to all stakeholders to promote dialogue and increased engagement.
Alliance Flagship Report on Medicines in Health Systems
1 February 2015 | The Alliance`s 4th Flagship Report on "Medicines in Health Systems: Advancing access, affordability and appropriate use" applies a systems approach to medicines. Through various country-case studies, the report illustrates major challenges and advances in the access, affordability and appropriate use of medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

ASI unearths rare pieces at a dilapidated fort in Unnao, U.P.
The Archaeological Survey of India has unearthed rare pieces of pottery dating back to the Kushan and Gupta periods in the ongoing excavation at the dilapidated fort of Raja Ram Baksh Singh at Unnao in Uttar Pradesh.
Speaking to The Hindu here on Thursday, ASI Additional Director-General D. R. Mani said: "We have managed to prove that a kingdom existed in Unnao about 2,000 years ago. The discovery points to the tradition prevailing in North India and epitomises the cultural heritage of Ganga-Jamuna."
Dr. Mani has been at the centre of many discoveries of archaeological sites across the country.
Shedding light on the findings, ASI Director (Archaeology) Syed Jamal Hasan said red pottery has been discovered. "What we have discovered is similar to the kulhars (handle-less terracotta cups), which we find after every 10 km even now. These are not national treasures but minor antiquities. But we have even stumbled upon black-slipped ware and Northern blade-polish ware."
According to renowned archaeologist D. S. Sharma, the pottery highlights the fact that "2,000 years of habitation existed at this archeologically-significant site".
ASI found bangles similar to those in the Indus Valley Civilisation Archaeologists say the find proves the kingdom existed 2,000 years ago

Comme Des Garcons Runway 2012 Fall
Comme Des Garcons Fall 2012
>> Every season, there are a few collections that really make the audience stop and ponder. This season, Rei Kawakubo's Fall 2012 Comme des Garcons was one such offering. On a plywood runway and set to a soundtrack of nothing at all, the designer sent out a collection of paper-doll shapes in cartoon hues and prodigious prints. Dresses, jackets, suits, and blouses were cut in felt-like fabrics and appeared super-voluminous when seen head-on, but were actually steamroller-flat when seen from the side. It was breathtaking, surreal, and definitely a bit strange — but more importantly, what does it all mean? Is it a commentary on the shallowness of contemporary fashion? A satirical look at the flatness of the digital age? Just an imaginative essay on color and shape? "The future is two-dimensional," was the designer's only explanation.

As it happened
2114:Real Madrid 4-0 Real Valladolid
That is that for tonight - thanks for reading and all your messages.
Opta: Gareth Bale is the 1st player to score a perfect hat-trick in La Liga this season. He has also scored seven goals in this La Liga season, one more than Mesut Ozil managed in his first campaign with Real Madrid.
Gary Lineker: Hat-trick for @GarethBale11 Great to see him proving what most of us knew. He's a monstrous talent!
Godsent Ubhi: You really said so Saj. 4-0. You just won a private jet.
Alas Godsent, there is no private jet - just the comfort of knowing I finally correctly predicted a score.
2058:Real Madrid 4-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid are now three points behind Barcelona and their city rivals Atletico. Barca have not played their 15th game of the campaign - they travel to Athletic Bilbao, who are fifth, on Sunday at 2000 GMT.
That will not be easy. Barca will be without Lionel Messi, who has gone back to Argentina to recover from a hamstring injury, and come into the match on the back of a defeat against Ajax - that's Ajax!
2048:FULL-TIME- Real Madrid 4-0 Real Valladolid
I'll poke anybody who utters, "who needs Cristiano Ronaldo?"
Gareth Bale did the job of Cristiano Ronaldo and should be rightly pleased, but this was Valladolid - plucky, but ultimately not very good.
The players who particularly impressed were Angel Di Maria and Isco - they were magnificent.
As I mentioned before - 'the double' is most definitely on.
2045:GOAL- Real Madrid 4-0 Real Valladolid - Gareth Bale hat-trick (89 mins)
Yes, none of the goals were from further out than eight yards - but £85m-man Gareth Bale scores his first hat-trick for Real Madrid. Marcelo's low cut-back from the left finds Bale, who slots in from about four yards.
2045:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
There are two minutes remaining and Valladolid have a corner...
2042:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Jese's skids one along the surface that Diego Marino fails to gather - luckily for him the ball goes behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
2040:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid go close once again. This time Alvaro Morata crosses from the left, the ball falls to Isco, who ducks one way then the other before he finds Marcelo, who misses his kick.
2037:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
The latest stats suggest that Real Madrid have had 20 shots on goal - they have been dominant, but haven't had to shift out ofthird gear.
David Williams: I think Ronaldo might struggle to get back into the team!!! ;-)
2034:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Will Bale get his first hat-trick for Real Madrid? He's got 14 minutes (and a bit).....
Andrew: Bale's as good in a Real white shirt as he was is a white spurs shirt. He scored when he wants!
Isaac Omole: And they say Neymar is better. Bale is a class player
2030:SUBSTITUTION- Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata and Jese come on for goalscorer Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria.
2028:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Isco is playing ridiculously well - he weaves around three challenges. No damage done - it's just nice to watch.
2026:Turkish Super LigFenerbahce 3-3 Besiktas
Dirk Kuyt scored a late equaliser for Fenerbahce as they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Besiktas in an Istanbul derby that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
Olcay Sahan put Besiktas ahead early on before Emmanuel Emenike equalised. Fenerbahce then had Raul Meireles dismissed in the 30th minute, but Moussa Sow's goal seven minutes later put them ahead.
Hugo Almeica scored twice in two minutes just before the break for Besiktas, who had Necip Uysal sent off midway through the second half. It looked as though they had done enough to take victory before Kuyt popped up late on to snatch a point.
Elsewhere in Europe.....
2022:Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Morocco forward Zakarya Bergdich appears to be at the centre of all that is good in Valladolid's attacking-third. This time the 24-year-old arrows a firm 25-yard strike on the angle which Diego Lopez plucks out of the air.
2019:GOAL- Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid - Gareth Bale (64 mins)
Bale scores his second of the night. Marcelo delivers a low cross from the left that Jesus Rueda only manages to clear to Bale, 10 yards out - the Welshman picks his shots and sidefoots in.
Goal! No! Offside! Gareth Bale plays the ball right for Dani Carvajal who slides a pinpoint cross across goal for Isco to tap in. Carvajal is flagged - but it was as tight as an elastic band round my forehead.
2014:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid's subs, forwards Alvaro Morata and Jese, are warming-up on the sidelines. An early change for the men in white?
2011:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid continue to probe around the Valladolid defence, but at the other end the visitors are getting more sighters on goal - this time Zakarya Bergdich pulls out a low save from Diego Lopez.
2007:SUBSTITUTION- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
By the way, winger Omar Ramos came on for Swede Daniel Larsson at half-time.
2006:CLOSE!- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Aye! Aye! Up at the other end, Valladolid left-back Carlos Pena fizzes one along the ground from outside the area that clears Diego Lopez's post by two feet.
Mehran Ebrahimi: Gareth Bale is starting to pick up the form from last season. What a player. Electric!
2003:CLOSE!- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Luka Modric spanks one from 20 yards that whistles past the Valladolid right-hand upright. This Madrid team don't know when to let up.
2002:KICK-OFF- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
The second half is under way.
2001:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
The teams are coming out for the second half. I reckon this will finish 4-0.
Keep your thoughts coming in on #bbceurofooty, text in on 81111 or post your message on the BBC Sport Facebook page.
1957:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Remember, it's Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona on Sunday at 2000 GMT. We will have live text commentary on this website. It might be a tricky one for the Catalan giants.
1952:FIRST-HALF STATS- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Possession: Real Madrid 65%, Real Valladolid 35%
Shots: Real Madrid 15, Real Valladolid 2
On target: Real Madrid 7, Real Valladolid 0
1949:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Some credit has to go the Real Madrid backroom team of manager Carlo Ancelotti and coaches Paul Clement and Zinedine Zidane. After an indifferent start for the new line-up they are now producing some fantastic results.
I wouldn't bet against them doing the double.
1946:HALF-TIME- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
So far so good for Los Blancos.
Do you think it will finish 2-0? What do you think of Bale's performance so far?

1942:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
Cristiano Ronaldo is in the stands watching the match alongside his girlfriend - he seems to be enjoying the action.
You have been having your say on how much Real Madrid will miss Cristiano Ronaldo on the BBC Sport Facebook page:
Joseph Emorut: Ronaldo is the world best player. Yes Madrid are gonna miss him so much.
Crippy Cooke: Not that big at all. Madrid have quality over the park, and Gareth Bale is scoring for fun at present.
Gordon Davie: Ronaldo the best in the world right now yes they will miss him.
1939:Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
1936:GOAL- Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid - Karim Benzema (36 mins)
Gareth Bale is involved again. This time the Wales forward floats a lovely weighted ball from the right on to the head of Karim Benzema, who bullets his effort past Diego Marino.
1934:GOAL- Real Madrid 1-0 Real Valladolid - Gareth Bale (33 mins)
Who else while Cristiano Ronaldo's away. The flying Welshman heads in his seventh of the season after Angel Di Maria's shot from a tight angle is palmed into his path by Diego Marino. Real are off.
1931:GREAT SAVE!- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Angel Di Maria is put through on goal, but his fierce shot is palmed away by Valladolid keeper Diego Marino. Strong hands.
1930:CLOSE!- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Back at the other end Karim Benzema should have scored. The France striker makes space for himself on the edge of the area but curls his low effort two feet wide.
1929:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
A mini-break by Valladolid. The ball arrives at the feet of forward Morocco international Zakarya Bergdich, who wriggles past two challenges but is then dispossessed 20 yards from goal.
1925:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Angel Di Maria tries another volley from outside the area - this time the Argentine's firm strike is well held by keeper Diego Marino.
1923:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Marcelo has a Cheick Tiote-style effort from 25 yards - one that probably seemed a good idea before he struck the ball.
1922:NEWSFLASH- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid have not had an effort on goal in four minutes.
LJ Hunter: This is their chance to show they are not one man wonder! Sure Bale will have plenty to say with the ball tonight!
Pandy: No Ronaldo for Real Madrid tonight, it's gives Bale a massive opportunity to show us all his talent.
Andrew Priestley: With no Cristiano Ronaldo tonight, it's time for Gareth Bale to show the Real Madrid fans why they spent so much money on him.
1918:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Gareth Bale's header from eight yards trickles harmlessly into the hands of Diego Marino - who despite the incessant early pressure, has yet to be forced into making a great save.
1916:BALE EFFORT- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Gareth Bale - he of world-record fee fame - tries a speculative volley from 20 yards that goes high and wide.
1915:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Real Madrid on the attack again - this is relentless. Angel Di Maria delivers a trademark sumptuous ball into the area from the left that Karim Benzema volleys into the side-netting at the far post.
1913:CLOSE!- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
A lovely move by Real Madrid. Isco plays a one-two with Xabi Alonso and then dinks a ball across the six-yard area for Sergio Ramos, who misses the target with his header. That's two good chances for the Spain defender.
1909:Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Quiet start for Real Madrid eh? Remember, they are without Cristiano Ronaldo tonight - he has a slight thigh injury.
Real Madrid are without Cristiano Ronaldo against Valladolid, how will they cope without him? Have your say via #bbceurofooty and on the BBC Sport Facebook page.
Jack: Real Madrid will be fine without CR7 tonight , sure they will still get a 4+ goal win.
Sivan John: They still have plenty of match winners even though he is absence. Di Maria will steer them to victory!
1906:HITS THE WOODWORK- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Cripes! Angel Di Maria cracks a half volley from 25 yards (quarter volley if you're being particular) that beats Diego Marino and comes down off the crossbar. Ferocious.
1906:CLOSE!- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
Sergio! Sergio! Sergio!
Ramos, who was sent off in the match against Galatasaray in midweek, heads over from six yards from a corner. Madrid should be ahead.
1904:French Ligue 1ROUND-UP
Colombia forward James Rodriguez made up for the absence of compatriot Radamel Falcao by scoring his first Ligue 1 goal to lead Monaco to a 2-0 home victory over Stade Rennes.
Rodriguez, who joined from FC Porto for £37m in the close season, opened his account with a 19th minute free-kick after having been fouled just outside the box.
Striker Anthony Martial then celebrated his first start in the top-flight, at the age of 17, by doubling the score from close range one minute before the break.
In the other early kick-off in France, St Etienne beat Reims 4-0.
1901:KICK-OFF- Real Madrid 0-0 Real Valladolid
The match gets under way.
1859:Real Madrid v Real Valladolid (1900 GMT)
The teams are on the pitch - there is a minute's silence for Real player Fabio Coentrao's father.
Now back to the match we are focusing on.
Real Valladolid. The north of Spain club managed by Juan Ignacio Martinez, who was in charge of Levante, are fighting to stay up.
They've been a bit of a Yo-yo club (message me if you have a replacement suggestion for 'Yo-yo') - having been relegated and promoted twice from the top tier since 2004.
They are 17th after 14 games having won just two matches - don't expect them to win a third in Madrid.
"Madrid leave you with very few options," said Martinez.
"It's clear they are superior and we know it will be difficult but, in football, nothing is impossible, although we will have to go out there with a thousand eyes because in the game last Wednesday [against Galatasaray] they scored four goals with one less player [Sergio Ramos was sent off in the first half]."
1853:German BundesligaROUND UP
Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways with a 3-1 win at Mainz.
Dortmund's title challenge had faltered in recent weeks, with Jurgen Klopp's side having lost to Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg in their previous two Bundesliga games.
It took a while for them to get going against Mainz, but they opened the scoring through Pierre Aubameyang in the 70th minute. The lead lasted just four minutes as Eric Maxim Choupo-Motin converted a penalty, but two late Lewandowski strikes sealed victory.
Dortmund are third, seven points behind Bayern. Second-place Bayer Leverkusen beat FC Nurnberg 3-0, Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen shared a 4-4 draw and Hertha drew 0-0 with Augsburg.
1849:Real Madrid v Real Valladolid (1900 GMT)
Real Madrid appear to be going with a 4-2-3-1 formation against Valladolid, with Gareth Bale, Isco and Angel Di Maria behind striker Karim Benzema.
Real Madrid: Lopez, Pepe, Ramos, Benzema, Bale, Marcelo, Alonso, Carvajal, Modric, Di Maria, Isco. Subs: Casillas, Casemiro, Nacho, Jese, Morata, Illarra, Llorente.
Valladolid: Marino, Valiente, Rossi, Rueda, Guerra, Larsson, Sastre, Pena, Rubio, Bergdich, Alcatraz.

1845:Real Madrid v Real Valladolid (1900 GMT)
We have some team news coming up team news fans...
1843:German BundesligaBUNDESLIGA REVIEW- Bayern Munich 2-0 Eintracht Braunschweig
Earlier, Arjen Robben scored twice as Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich extended their unbeaten league run to 39 games with victory over bottom-of-the-table Eintracht Braunschweig.
The Dutch winger headed in an early opener before getting the better of two defenders to add a second midway through the first half.
David Alaba produced a stunning goal line clearance to deny Braunschweig's Karim Bellarabi.
Bayern top the table with 38 points, four ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.
With Barcelona playing away at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, Real Madrid have the opportunity to enjoy being just three points behind the leaders for a smidgen more than 24 hours.
Bad news: They will again be without top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a minor thigh strain which forced him to the 4-1 win against Galatasaray in midweek.
Good news: They've got Gareth Bale, Isco, Karim Benzema etc etc
Wales' most expensive football export, Bale, has scored two goals in his last two games - including a cracking free-kick against Galatasaray in Wednesday's 4-1 win.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is expected to play him on the right against Valladolid - having given a subtle clue after the Champions League victory.
"I think he is most dangerous when he plays on the right and has more chances to use his shot," said the Italian.
"He played very well tonight in different positions, but I think he is more comfortable when he plays on the right."

Ohhh, Britney Spears. We love your music, nostalgia factor, and looks, but for some reason, the latter is frequently edited to a degree that goes way past normal. In a new ad for her Intimate Collection of lingerie, Brit's face and body got the Photoshop treatment, effectively turning her into a Real Doll with zero skin texture, wrinkles, pores, moles, freckles…anything that indicates she's a person, basically. More
Jimmy Kimmel's bit, "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets," literally never gets old. Never. But, this time, it's offered us some valuable insight into the hidden lives of celebrities and the difficult choices that we all must make every day. Also poop jokes, because let's face it, this is Twitter. More
Have you ever wondered what Britney Spears might look like if she'd never married Kevin Federline and dipped into drugs and shaved her head and gone on that downward spiral? Well wonder no more, because Women's Health has gone back in time, changed the past, and put that human on its cover. More
As anyone who's anyone knows, Taylor Swift's album 1989 was released today and we are all REALLY. EXCITED. ABOUT IT. So excited in fact that we aren't wasting any time decoding the little secret messages that are supposedly lurking in her liner notes. More
Remember back in the days of yore when celebrities used to wear purity rings and talk such a big game of staying a virgin until marriage? Whatever happened to that? No seriously, I'm asking. More
The post is part of the site's "It Happened To Me" series, and in it Lutfi claims he's actually not a sleazy opportunist who takes advantage of troubled female celebrities under the guise of helping them. It's so full of contradictions and ironic statements that I read the whole thing with my mouth hanging open. More
Britney Spears just had to break up with yet another boyfriend because he cheated on her, and honestly — when is this girl gonna catch a break? More
Last night, it appears VMA rehearsal got a little dicey. And not just because Robin Thicke was lurking around in a Beetlejuice suit, hoping someone would ask him to play. Nope, Iggy Azalea was rehearsing for her performance of "Fancy" when she fell off the stage right in the middle of the song! But it kept playing without her. More
You gotta hand it to Britney Spears' team, they simply will not admit defeat in Battle Abs. Even though Britney clearly has better things to do than get back to the chiseled six pack of her late teens, they just keep finding new ways to fake it. More
It actually hurts me to categorize this post as relating to music, because wow is this bad. I'm of course obsessed with it, don't get me wrong. More
Don't you worry about Nicole, because she was having the time of her life, and she's very excited to tell you about it. Just warning you now that you will very likely feel weirdly happy for her. More
Keira Knightley says she's sometimes mistaken for Britney Spears by fans, and I can't tell if that makes me more worried about her, or you guys. More
I have good news for anyone who agreed with me that Britney Spears' video for her song 'Work Bitch' was a little lackluster — some guy edited himself into it instead of her, and it's a ten thousand percent improvement. More

How to Inspect the Roofs of Mobile Homes for Defects: Detailed mobile home, doublewide, trailer roof inspection procedures, roof defect lists, references to mobile home roofing standards. This article describes common sources of leaks and other problems with roofs used on doublewides, caravans, mobile homes & trailers. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Trailer & Mobile Home ROOFING DEFECTS - Inspecting for Mobile Home Roofing Defects[Click to enlarge any image] Our photos above show leak-prone low-slope roofs on mobile homes. Behind the home at above right you can see that a steeper gabled roof has been added on that home - a roof less likely to be a source of chronic leaks. Ver.4.0 - 04/25/07, 08/15/2012 - Steve Vermilye, New Paltz NY and Daniel Friedman, Poughkeepsie NY, Hudson Valley ASHI Chapter Seminar, Newburgh NY, January 4, 2000, NY Metro ASHI Fall 99 Seminar, Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, White Plains NY, October 2, 1999. Our photo at page top shows inspector Steve Vermilye on a double-wide trailer roof shows areas of ponding and a history of tar patching - Ulster County New York. Low slope mobile home roofs (above left) are at risk of leaks in part because of their slower drainage rate and due to sagging with age. Our photo at left illustrates reliance on roofing mastic to seal a water heater vent that is itself partly blocked - a double hazard. Our photo at left shows tar spills on the side of a mobile home whose roof was coated in attempts to stop leaking.
Our photo below shows six mobile home or doublewide home roofs that demonstrate a variety of materials and venting approaches. (Sorry for the big (C) mark.) Watch out: At ROOFING INSPECTION & REPAIR we provide a series of detailed articles about building roof selection, installation, inspection, troubleshooting and repair. But an additional roof inspection limitation for mobile homes is that some home roofs are not constructed to tolerate foot traffic without damage or bending or sagging - don't walk on fragile roof surfaces. Our photo at above left illustrates mineral granule coated roll roofing overlaid on a mobile home roof. At above right is a roof detail presenting a high risk of leakage - this hole was found by Steve Vermilye while walking the roof shown at the top of this page. It would not have been evident even from a ladder-at-roof-edge inspection. Our photo at left shows a low sloped no-eaves roof over a static caravan. In addition to a clue that roof spillage has annoyed people enterin and exiting at the home's doorway, notic that there are three roof penetrations, all with leak and safety and operating concerns: rus, flashing, tar-repairs, and missing chimney cap. It is always best to inspect a roof from "up close" even if roof conditions mean the roof should not be walked-on. But if the roof is not directly accessible for any reason, every safe reasonable effort should be made to obtain view and inspection.

Question: roof is crooked and doors won't shut in cold weather(Feb 13, 2014) Re-Posted with space after periods in the text: (3 hours ago) Joseph Matteini said: It has been very cold 0 degrees plus or minus for a month. My enclosed front porch has sliding windows. slanting roof. The roof is higher on the left side above the doorway,making the door notshut evenly. The differencene is one inch. This is also starting on the inside door to the home. This has never happened before.This is an open porch of redwood and steps before the porch. It is an 1985 mobie home. HELP! Reply:Joseph, 1. a sagging roof in danger of collapse - THIS IS UNSAFE and needs prompt attention; if this is the case you may need someone to rake snow off of the porch roof as well as to inspect for damage to the structure. We don't want the porch roof to fall in on you 2. A second possibility is that the roof structure has not sagged and begun to collapse but instead frost heaves have pushed up one end of the porch foundation. The hazards if this is the case are more subtle: there could be hidden damage to the floor structure - another collapse risk, or there may be just a trip hazard due to a sloped floor. If the floor to the porch is level and has not changed, but the roof slope has changed then my first guess is more likely correct. Watch out: doors that don't open or shut can be unsafe - you can be trapped in the event of a fire Roof Over, Roof Coating Systems, Roof Repair Products for Mobile Homes, Doublewides, Trailers, Manufactured Homes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Reader comment: reader opinion about AAA mobile home parks(Aug 21, 2011) Peter W. said: To all folks who think that AAA mobile home parks here in Ravenna Ohio are all that huh think again, please think seriously about your family and there lives. This AAA park has a history of ongoing drugs problems and no back ground checks,no notifications of sexaffenders within this park, police are here on a daily basis, no street lights that for safety, also a creek that has errosion problems that are getting bigger every time it rains. Also there so called water is always black in color no matter what. Parents are not held accountable for there older teens for there actions no matter the law. We have seen teens who will and have sex on the parks bridge. There are flooding problems, do to not cleaning out the drains and no fixing of there roads or pipes. Winter's they dono't clean up any common area's and if some falls there looking for a law suit, because of this AAA needs to have an out side inspector here, NOT!!! one of there own, who knows the law of the land. In the past there has been personal mail stolen from residents witch thats a very, very secerious crime in of it's self. the president of the mobile parks love. won't go up aginst AAA because there owner's have money , sence when is wrong a right?? I think that even the police are being payed off to keep quiet. People here should not be scaried of AAA nor the on going every day problems with pine gate mobile home parks and AAA or the owner's. I really believe in coummiunty but this isn't it. AAA is well know for it's violations, many are fed up. Ravenna and with the right inspector's needs help and take care of AAA before someone gets hurt or even killed. Kids here do not have anything to do AAA needs to be sighted for many of its violations and actions, someone needs to be held accountable. AAA is clueless and doesn't care about there people or there community or parks. I think that there needs to be a secerious FBI investigation in on or about the AAA love. in question. I question there so called $2.5 million? Reply:The comments above are a reader opinion. Our opinion is that if any tenant believes that there are unsafe conditions at a property s/he should notify the oweners both verbally and in writing.

Reader comment: reader agrees that mobile home park managers may be unresponsive to complaints (Feb 15, 2014) Lot Lover said: Reply:Thanks for the comment Lot. While we certainly do not recommend trying a baseball bat as a means of persuasion, if you are dissatisfied with the trailer park management and no one responds to a written request you may have no choice but to seek help from your local building department, health department, or similar agency. Reader comment:Angela Jones said It is a great post that it's giving knowledge about inspection, people commonly ignore. It is the most important part of maintenance the second part is to find the leaks and cure them at once with a roof leak repair kit. Her advertisement was deleted. Question: leaky mobile home windowAnonymous said: Reply:Anon Indeed leaks at mobile home windows are common; You can use our email found at our CONTACT US links at page to or bottom to send me some photos for further comment.

OpenWorld 2007 News: The Big Party & Session Listings
4 Comments Published by Dan August 21st, 2007 in Events, OpenWorld, OracleI wasn't sure how to top last year's Elton John show. (By the way, I was also partial to AC/DShe at last year's show.) However, for my tastes, I think they may have topped it with this year's lineup.
On top of the news about the appreciation event, there's also news on the session list for OOW. I've got session S291026 during the regular conference and also two more sessions during IOUG's Forum program on Sunday as well (these will likely be added to session planner later).
Please do plan to attend the Sunday program. As I've been more involved in this year's Sunday program, I think it will be one of the best yet. I'd love to have a chat about anything related to Oracle Database Identity Management, or SCUBA diving, so let me know if you're going to be there on Sunday (or post a comment here) and we'll try to meet up onsite in SF!
I'll post more on Sunday's schedule as soon as it is made public.

Earlier this week, EA announced that the three developers (Jack Matthews, Mark Pacini, and Todd Keller) who jumped ship from the Nintendo-owned Retro Studios back in April would be forming their own development house, Armature Studio. They were courted by several big companies (read: as big as EA, and/or bigger) and finally signed a long-term publishing deal with EA to develop games for all consoles. Pacini said, "What really gets me going is that now, no platform is off limit. That is just something we didn't have the ability to do before."
Both Retro and Armature are located in Austin, TX, so the timing of the press release was meant to be a part of the Austin GDC. Even though this same team worked on the Metroid Prime series, it's itching for more knuckle-blasting, thumbstick-twiddling, button-mashing fare. After the jump you can read our interview with Jack Mathews and find out what sort of platforms the new studio will be developing for. One thing we did learn: they're not making any MMOs.
So were you guys not satisfied with the way things were going at Retro, and that's why you decided you wanted to form your own company? What led to the decision for you three to leave?
I loved Retro, and it was the best place I've ever worked. After finishing up the Prime trilogy, this just seemed like the right time to be able to branch out and try new things that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do.
Why did you guys decide to go with EA?
Because the distributed development model is very attractive to us. The current popular model of game development just doesn't seem sustainable moving forward because of ever-increasing costs and manpower. This model allows us to be a lot more nimble and allows for more creative risks without wasting a lot of resources.
How early on did you start talking to big publishers, or did they start talking to you?
We signed our deal with EA a couple of months after we left Retro. The timing of this press announcement was to take advantage of Austin GDC, since we're located here and EA was coming down for it.
You've said you want to go after hardcore gamers. By that do you specifically mean PS3 and Xbox 360 titles?
We're definitely looking at the PS3 and Xbox 360 if that's where our game designs lead us. We're not going to go where the audience is for any given title.
Do you think Nintendo or the Wii has a chance to get a hardcore gaming audience?
Nintendo always has their built-in hardcore following. As for big first-person or action gamers, I don't think the Wii is really going to offer as much of that as the 360 and PS3.
How do you feel about the current state of the gaming industry, especially here in Austin?
A lot of recent layoffs in Austin are really unfortunate, but I'm hoping that with all the turmoil, we can get some new talent and studios rising from the ashes. As for the rest of the industry, I've got no complaints.
Why the name, Armature?
It really defines how we work as a company. It's defined as "a skeletal framework built as a support on which a clay, wax, or plaster figure is constructed" and we want to structure our development that way. The first stage of the development is the substructure, and then we direct a larger team of people to help us in filling out the full game.
