An 11-year-old boy has been charged with homicide after a gun he was allegedly playing with went off and killed his 15-year-old friend. The victim, DaVontae Ziegler, was outside on his front porch in Nashville with the 11-year-old and another 14-year-old boy during a school snow day on Friday. Ziegler ran to get help at a neighbor's house after he was shot, but died from his injuries at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. An 11-year-old boy has been charged with homicide after a gun he was allegedly playing with went off and killed his 15-year-old friend DaVonte Ziegler . The 11-year-old told investigators that the gun, which he said he found, fired accidentally while he was playing with it, according to police. Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said witnesses saw the 11-year-old check on his friend after the gun went off, but fled the scene before police arrived. The 11-year-old told police he disposed of the gun. It has not yet been found, according to Aaron. DaVontae's aunt and uncle have been left devastated, both for the loss of the teenager they have raised since he was six weeks old and for the boy who could now face jail time. Glenn Griswould said the 11-year-old often came by the house to play video games with DaVontae. 'They were friends. I just know the little boy didn't do it on purpose,' he told the Tennessean. Ziegler was outside on his front porch (pictured) in Nashville with the 11-year-old and another 14-year-old boy during a school snow day on Friday when the shooting occurred . Glenn and Amelia Griswould, DaVontae's aunt and uncle, have been left devastated - both for the loss of the teenager they have raised since he was six weeks old and for the boy who could now face jail time . Amelia Griswould said she hopes the child doesn't receive a life sentence in prison for something that was 'an accident'. 'That's two children whose life is gone,' she told KCTV5. 'He's going to suffer just knowing that he killed his friend, and that's enough punishment for that child.' Mrs Griswould said she didn't want to feel anger towards the family, but that she 'can't feel sympathy for them right now'. 'They gone took my child,' she told the Tennessean. 'All I know is my child is not coming home. I'm not going to have him wake up on Saturday mornings wanting pancakes.' Mrs Griswould also questioned why the 11-year-old's parents were unaware he had a gun. She told families to watch 'what your children are doing and getting into'. 'So many gangs, so many adults just giving children guns for no apparent reason,' she told WKRN-TV. 'And it's killing our children.' Mrs Griswould said she hopes the child doesn't receive a life sentence in prison. 'He's going to suffer just knowing that he killed his friend, and that's enough punishment for that child,' she said .

They may still be five games away from lifting a fifth European Cup but Barcelona's win against Manchester City on Wednesday evening did ensure the Catalan giants broke a record. Luis Enrique's side became the first team to reach eight consecutive Champions League quarter-finals after seeing off the Premier League champions 1-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate. Ivan Rakitic's first-half strike made for a relatively comfortable evening for the La Liga leaders, particularly after Sergio Aguero fluffed a penalty in the 77th minute.

(CNN)CNN has learned that the manufacturer of the endoscope involved in two superbug deaths at UCLA never obtained permission to sell the device, according to an official at the Food and Drug Administration. Olympus started selling its TJF-Q180V duodenoscope in 2010, but the FDA didn't notice until late 2013 or early 2014 that the company had never asked for clearance to put it on the market, according to Karen Riley, deputy director of strategy for the FDA's Office of External Affairs. "Why didn't we notice it? I don't know," Riley said. "Can you imagine a prescription drug getting out on the market that didn't go through the approval process?" asked Dr. Steven Nissen, the chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who's testified to Congress about device safety problems. "Devices need to be regulated more vigorously. This is really disturbing." In a statement, Olympus said it didn't think needed the FDA's permission to sell the device, but now at the request of the agency, it has applied for that permission. That application is still pending. Seven hospital patients at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center were infected with the deadly superbug CRE -- also known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae -- from October to January, according to hospital officials. Two of those patients died. The patients caught CRE after routine endoscopic treatments. Hospital officials believe two medical scopes that still carried the deadly bacteria even after disinfection guidelines were followed were the cause of the superbug outbreak. The medical center has contacted 179 others who had endoscopic procedures between October and January and is offering them home tests to screen for the bacteria. Four other patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles have also been infected with  the superbug linked to a contaminated  duodenoscope, according to a statement released by the hospital. The medical scope was used in all four patients, between August and January 2015. Sixty-four other patients who had a duodenoscope procedure with that particular scope are being informed by mail, "out of an abundance of caution." According to FDA rules, a manufacturer must seek clearance for a new model if it includes changes that "could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device." The TJF-Q180V duodenoscope, used to check out ducts in the gastrointestinal system, includes a modification to the exact part of the device that's been implicated in the superbug outbreaks. With this new model, Olympus sealed up that part of the device, known as the elevator channel, hoping to make it more impervious to infection. "The company clearly made these modifications to make the device safer, but it seems to be that it wasn't safer," Riley said. Last year, at the FDA's request, Olympus applied for permission to sell the scope. That application is still pending. Riley emphasized that duodenoscope procedures can be lifesaving, so the agency doesn't want to take them off the market. "More than 500,000 of these procedures are done every year in the U.S., and the risk of bacterial transmission is actually really very, very low," she said. "We believe the benefits outweigh the risks." In its statement, Olympus wrote: "The emergence of drug-resistant microorganisms is a challenge to the entire health care community.  Olympus is working with relevant medical societies and our customers in research of this emerging issue and the development of additional safeguards to prevent infection associated with [duodenoscope procedures]." Riley noted that the other two duodenoscope manufacturers, Pentax and Fujifilm, did apply for and were granted clearance to market models similar to Olympus' TJF-Q180V. Now the FDA is asking all three companies to submit evidence that the scopes can be thoroughly cleaned -- and so far it's not going well. Riley said twice the companies have submitted data that failed to show that cleaning could get rid of 99.9999% of all microbes on the scope -- the FDA's standard for disinfection. "We're still working with them to get good data," she said. Riley said she doesn't know if the FDA will penalize Olympus for selling the device without permission. Diana Zuckerman, a device safety expert, said they should. "It's like with kids. How do you teach your children to behave if there are no consequences when they misbehave?" she said.

Summary:
FDA official says Olympus never got permission to sell its endoscope .
Medical device is connected to CRE outbreak in California that's left two people dead .


Tony Irish, the boss of the international players’ union, has criticised the ICC over their decision to cut the 2019 World Cup in England to 10 teams, saying: ‘The global game needs a global view.’ With the likes of Ireland and Afghanistan – two of the more engaging sides in this year’s tournament – in danger of missing out on qualification in four years’ time, the ICC have faced tough questions over their commitment to spreading the game beyond its 10 Test-playing Full Members. But Irish’s comments, part of a wide-ranging interview with Sportsmail about some of the major issues faced by international cricket, carry particular significance: FICA, the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations of which he is chief executive, represents the players unions in England, Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, South Africa and West Indies. Tony Irish, the South African boss of the international players’ union, says cricket needs a global view and not a 10-game World Cup that the ICC has planned for 2019 that will exclude the likes of Ireland (above) Fans of Afghanistan, who haven't been disgraced in their first World Cup in Australia and New Zealand . In other words, he is speaking on behalf of the majority of the world’s top cricketers. ‘FICA takes a global view on the game,’ said Irish. ‘One of the objectives must be to try to grow the global game. The opportunity for other countries to participate in the World Cup, the pinnacle tournament, is important. ‘However, we do accept the challenge relating to the length of the event. We think we should look at reformatting the event, perhaps into four pools, or having a pre-qualifier.’ Irish, whose push for FICA to play a greater role in determining the game’s future has not been helped by India’s refusal to form their own players’ union, said the format of future World Cups should not be influenced by the TV-driven desire to guarantee as many group matches as possible for the Indians. Afghan and New Zealand playes come together after their World Cup  pool A match in Napier . ‘One can understand that from a commercial point of view, and from the point of view of satisfying the biggest cricket market,’ he said. ‘But you’ve got to balance against that the fact that a sporting event is a sporting event, and if a team performs poorly in a particular format, then that’s how the results go. The growth of the game is equally important. ‘The ICC has 105 members – 10 Full Members, and a number of competitive Associate members. The important thing is that the body that administers the global game needs to have a global view.’ Irish, who also heads up the South African players’ association, questioned how Associate nations were supposed to get exposure against the Full Members when the international schedule is already full to bursting. India haven't got a players' union which hinders the international union's powers to push for an inclusive game . He said: ‘There’s very little framework any more to the Future Tours Programme. It’s not being governed by a set of principles which allows… cricket to have a greater context. It’s a lot of individual agreements between countries, which are just plugged into a matrix. ‘It’s a pity the world Test championship has been shelved. The team rankings give some sort of context, but they’re extremely difficult to understand.’ And Irish is concerned that the takeover of the ICC by the Indian, English and Australian boards last year will result in an increasingly unlevel playing field at international level. Though the ICC have promised more funds to all Full Members and the best six Associate teams as a result of their latest broadcasting deal, many are worried that the Big Three will pull away from the Small Seven because they will simply schedule more lucrative series against between themselves. Under the old FTP, teams were obliged to play each other home and away every four years in series of at least two Tests and three one-day internationals. Now, the fixture list is drawn up on the basis of individual agreements between teams. ‘The fear is that the stronger countries will just play each other more and more, and the weaker countries will have less opportunity to play the stronger countries,’ said Irish. ‘The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.’ For a full transcript of the interview, click here .

Summary:
The ICC has cut the 2019 World Cup to be held in England to 10 teams .
Players unions from the top Test playing nations call move short-sighted .
Union boss Tony Irish said 'the global game of cricket needs a global view'
Rather than less teams, they say the Cup's format should be revisited .
A 10-team Cup almost certainly means the likes of Ireland won't be there .
FICA represents players' unions from most Test-playing nations, not India .


(CNN)Real Madrid fell to a lacklustre 1-0 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao Saturday, potentially handing the La Liga advantage to arch rival Barcelona. A stunning header from Aritz Aduriz shortly before half time was enough to win the day for an organized and impressive Bilbao. Real piled on the pressure for much of the second half but couldn't find a way past a staunch opponent despite finishing the match with four strikers on the park. Gareth Bale struck a post with an extraordinary shot from close to the halfway line as full time approached while Arduriz almost doubled Bilbao's lead with another headed chance late on. The result means second placed Barca can now take top spot should it win at home to mid-table Rayo Vallecano Sunday. Of more immediate concern to Real boss Carlo Ancelotti after the game, however, was his side's lack of cutting edge. "I think the problem we are having at the moment is quite clear," Ancelotti told reporters. "We are not finding a way through like we did in the games before. We've only scored one goal, from a penalty, in two games. "That is the problem we have to fix. We lack efficiency up front." Real are now without a win in two league games while the 4-0 February hammering at the hands of city rivals Atletico Madrid, the clubs biggest derby defeat since 1947, is still fresh in the memory. With the second El Classico fixture of the season against Barcelona only a fortnight away, Ancelotti is looking for a quick fix to his side's attacking inhibitions. However, such worries are of little concern to a Bilbao side celebrating its first win over Real in five years. After a slow start to the season the Basques are now up to eighth position. "We are very proud of how hard we worked," goalscorer Arduriz said in comments carried by the AFP news agency. "The three points will prove a huge boost." "The fans have enjoyed it a lot and they deserved that after the poor performances at San Mames earlier in the season." Bayern Munich continued its seemingly inexorable march to a third consecutive Bundesliga title with a come from behind 3-1 victory away to Hannover. Hiroshi Kiyotake gave the hosts a surprise lead after 25 minutes but Xabi Alonso levelled shortly after. A second half brace from Thomas Muller ensured the Bavarians would increase their league at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points as second place Wolfsburg fell to a 1-0 defeat at Augsburg. Elsewhere Saturday, Borussia Dortmund's winning streak came to an end with as Jurgen Klopp's revitalized side were held to a 0-0 draw with Hamburg. Paris Saint Germain returned to the top of the Ligue 1 table, for 24 hours at least, with a convincing 4-1 win over Lens at the Parc de Princes. David Luiz opened the scoring as the first half came to a close before Zlatan Ibrahimovic doubled the Parisian's advantage from the penalty spot on the hour mark. Substitutes Blaise Matuidi and Javier Pastore secured the win after Yoann Touzghar had pulled one back deficit for Lens. Lyon will return to the Ligue 1 summit should it dispose of Montpelier Sunday.

Real Madrid slump to defeat against Athletic Bilbao .
Solitary goal from Aritz Aduriz enough to give the Basques victory .

This is the dramatic moment rescuers freed an 18-month-old baby girl who was left dangling upside down next to her dead mother for a staggering 14 hours after their car plunged into a frigid river. The newly-released footage, filmed on an officer's body camera, shows emergency crews battling to rescue Lily Groesbeck from her mother Lynn's Dodge sedan at a  river in Spanish Fork, Utah. First responders are captured running toward the overturned vehicle, before straining to turn it on its side. One can be heard yelling, 'Let's go guys, come on!' as they struggle to lift the heavy sedan. Seconds later, the officers successfully lift the partially-submerged car out of the water and discover Lily hanging upside down in her car seat. The infant was unconscious, but miraculously alive. The brave officers said that as they approached the car they could clearly hear a woman's voice coming from the car shouting for help, but in the bodycam video, parts of the audio are silent. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Shocking scene: A dramatic new video, filmed on an officer's body camera, shows emergency crews battling to rescue 18-month-old Lily Groesbeck from her mother Lynn's Dodge sedan at a river in Spanish Fork, Utah . Partially submerged: First responders are captured dashing over to the overturned red vehicle (pictured) Struggle: The officers strain as they try to turn the heavy sedan on its side (above). One can be heard yelling, 'Let's go guys, come on!' However, seconds later, the officers successfully lift the vehicle out of the icy water . Life-saving rescue: The first responders were shocked to discover Lily hanging upside down in her car seat. They quickly freed the infant from the seat, before passing her cold body from one person to another (above) Tragic: Following the rescue, Lily (pictured, right, this week), was rushed in a critical condition to hospital. She has since been released. Tragically, her mother, Lynn Groesbeck (left, with Lily), aged 25, died at the scene . During the rescue the men are filmed quickly freeing Lily from the car seat, before passing her cold body from one person to another. Once on the shore, the baby was lifted into an ambulance and given CPR. The video, which was released by Spanish Fork Police Department and obtained by NBC, shows several concerned bystanders watching the scene from the top of the river bank last Saturday. Following the rescue, Lily, whose face was apparently just inches away from the icy water, was rushed in a critical condition to Mountain View Hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia. She was later flown to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, from which she was released on Wednesday. Three police officers and four firefighters were also treated for hypothermia. Tragically, Ms Groesbeck,  who is not depicted in the video, was pronounced dead at the scene. The 25-year-old mother and her daughter were driving home to Springville, a suburb of Provo, at around 10.30pm on the fateful day when their red-colored sedan crashed into the frigid river below. Unconscious: The video, which was released by Spanish Fork Police Department, shows several concerned bystanders watching the scene from the top of the river bank last Saturday.

Speedy: Ms Groesbeck and her daughter (pictured being passed between first responders) were driving home to Springville, a suburb of Provo, at around 10.30pm  when their sedan crashed into the frigid river below . Heroes: First responders are seen dashing across the rocky terrain next to the river with Lily in their arms . Transfer: The officer's body camera captures the waiting ambulance that the 18-month-old girl is lifted into . On Wednesday, police said the car had apparently struck a cement barrier on the bridge above the river before plunging into the water. However, they said the cause of the crash remains unclear. Ms Groesbeck's partially-submerged car was discovered by a fisherman, who subsequently alerted the authorities shortly after noon on Saturday. The sedan was resting face-down in the water. According to the Deseret News, the angler called a non-emergency line and said: 'Are you guys aware there's a car in the river on the south end of Spanish Fork, Main Street, over the bridge? 'I didn't see anybody when I came in here and I can't see in the car.' Only four minutes later, the same caller dialed 911 directly and said: 'There's a car in the river. It's upside down off of Main Street and there is a person inside. I can see a hand.' A paramedic is seen laying Lily down on a table in the ambulance, before performing CPR on her cold body . Family: Earlier this week, Lily's father, Deven Trafny (center with Ms Groesback, left, and Lily, before the tragic accident, which occurred last week), revealed his daughter's incredible progress in a video taken in hospital . A mystery voice: Emergency responders have said they  heard desperate pleas from Ms Groesbeck inside the Dodge sedan when they approached the car (pictured after the rescue), even though she likely died on impact . Recovery: Officer Tyler Beddoes, who was involved in the rescue, said: 'For two nights I've laid awake trying to figure out exactly what it could be. All I know is it was there, we all heard it. It was extra motivation' Earlier this week, emergency responders said they had heard desperate pleas from Ms Groesbeck inside the car when they approached the car, even though she had likely been killed on impact. They reported hearing cries of: 'Help me! Help me!'. However, the mother was certainly not alive at the time of their arrival. Rescuers are now trying to figure out how they  heard Ms Groesbeck's voice. Officer Tyler Beddoes, who was involved in the rescue, said: 'For two nights I've laid awake trying to figure out exactly what it could be. All I know is it was there, we all heard it. It was extra motivation.' It is still unclear how Lily managed to survive with no food or water, but a doctor told CNN that when someone suffers from hypothermia, their metabolism slows and their oxygen intake reduces.

Lily has now left the hospital after surviving for 14 hours in a car wreck . On the mend: Mr Trafny is seen playing with his daughter, who is back to her normal self, he has said . This results in a 'neuro-protective' condition, the doctor said. Also this week, Lily's father, Deven Trafny, revealed his daughter's incredible progress in a video taken from hospital, which shows the infant bouncing around and waving shyly at the camera. 'I'm blessed,' Mr Trafny, told KUTV on Wednesday. 'I'm counting all my blessings right now... She should be gone. She shouldn't be here right now. I'm overwhelmed with joy right now.' Mr Trafny said Lily has been watching cartoons and laughing with family members despite it being only a week since the deadly crash. She also remembers everything she knew before the crash. 'Lily came into the hospital on Saturday in critical condition, and today she's in great condition - she's happy, playing, talking, and even reciting her nursery rhymes,' the devoted father said. Emotional: The father said he is overjoyed and shocked that Lily survived the crash. However, he is also mourning 'the love of my life' - Lily's mother and his fiancee Lynn Groesbeck, who was found dead in the car . Survivor: Lt Johnson said an investigator had found a small bag of marijuana in Ms Groesbeck's purse at the scene, along with an unused, packaged syringe and a bottle of Tramadol, a pain killer. Above, little Lily . 'Except for a few bruises, she has made a remarkable recovery.' But while caring for little Lily, Mr Trafny is trying to comprehend losing his beloved fiancée Lynn. 'That's kind of a hard situation for me right now,' he said. 'I haven't really wrapped my head around that. She was the love of my life and I'm going to miss her a lot. I still have to deal with that.' According to police lieutenant Matt Johnson, toxicology results are pending in the case. Lt Johnson said an investigator had found a small bag of marijuana in Ms Groesbeck's purse at the scene, along with an unused, packaged syringe and a bottle of Tramadol, a pain killer. However, he could not say if any of those items were a factor in the accident. The items were taken to the state medical examiner's office in Salt Lake City, he said.

Thousands of JetBlue passengers faced lengthy delays following 'a widespread system outage' on Monday. Lines snaked around airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Logan International in Boston and airports in Tampa and Orlando, following the early-morning outage. The issue meant passengers were unable to check in their bags and some had to wait for  handwritten boarding passes, NBC News reported. The company says it has now resolved the problem but that there will be residual delays throughout the morning. Frustrating: JetBlue customers shared photos of the massive queues at airports across the East Coast on Monday morning after the company suffered a massive system outage . Anger: One passenger tweeted her annoyance at the delays at LaGuardia Airport in New York City . Apologies: The airline told passengers about the problem over Twitter but has now resolved the issue . It had revealed the issue on Twitter after customers complained about the delayed flights. 'We apologize,' JetBlue tweeted. 'There is a system outage. We're working to get everything up and running as quickly as we can.' The issue was resolved around 6.15am, the company said. 'It looks like our system is coming back,' it tweeted to one customer shortly before 6.30am. 'We should have you on your way shortly.' It said that no flights would be canceled but that some would be held so that passengers would make their planes. WBZ reported that some people had reported missing their flights because of long security lines. Matt Cleinman, who was supposed to take off from Boston at 6.20am for Pittsburgh, was still waiting to check in at 7am. Stuck: Another customer traveling from Boston shared his ordeal online before the system was fixed . Bad start to the week: Customers waited in lines for as long as 90 minutes to get boarding passes . Delays: The system has now been fixed but delays remain at airports, including in Boston and New York . 'I'd expect major delays to ripple through their day,' he told NBC, saying lines were 'crazy'. Others took to Twitter to share images of the lines and to express their annoyance.

Suburbs with higher percentages of younger residents will experience a bigger growth in value from having railway constructions, a new study has found. Onthehouse Research found the suburbs where the median age of residents was below the national average of 37 years showed a stronger relationship between train stations and price growth. The study picked seven suburbs to keep an eye on based on impending railway constructions that will likely transform their value, reports Property Observer. A new study has found Suburbs with higher percentages of younger residents will experience a bigger growth in value from having railway constructions . The study picked seven suburbs to keep an eye on based on impending railway constructions that will likely transform their value . The new stations will allow younger residents to access Sydney CBD, therein generating thousands of jobs. The seven suburbs to watch out for are Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Bella Vista, Baulkam Hills, Paddington, Randwick and Kingsford. 'In Kellyville, the building and maintenance of the station, increased dwelling construction and new commercial establishments are expected to create over 3,000 jobs in the area, said Eliza Owen, Onthehouse market analyst. 'Whereas in Kingsford, where one third of the residents fall between 20-29 years old, the light rail is expected to be popular with young people and students travelling to the city for entertainment and work outside of study hours.' Properties in Kellyville (L) and Rouse Hill (R), the top two suburbs set to have their value transformed after impending railway constructions . Properties in Bella Vista (L) and Baulkam Hills (R) are both set to have new railway infrastructure. The new stations will allow younger residents to access Sydney CBD, therein generating thousands of jobs . A three bedroom Kellyville house sold for $920,000 earlier this month, less than two years after it sold for $580,000 in September 2012, marking a 58.6% price growth. Globally, Sydney is considered the third most expensive property market behind only Hong Kong and Vancouver . It comes after a downtrodden home in south Sydney sold for a colossal $6 million last Saturday.73 Vista Street in San Souci captured a crowd of 250, despite its run down, red brick exterior . Properties in Paddinton (L), Randwick (C) and Kingsford (R) will also experience a transformation in value .

Summary:
The impact of railway infrastructure on property prices is augmented by having percentages of younger residents .
A new study picked seven suburbs to keep an eye on based on impending railway constructions that will likely transform their value .
The seven suburbs to watch out for are Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Bella Vista, Baulkam Hills, Paddington, Randwick and Kingsford .

(CNN)When I was a child, a pale specter used to call our house most evenings, eager to chat with my doctor father about her myriad medical concerns. We called her the "White Bread Lady," a moniker she earned for one particularly inane call in which she panicked to my father after consuming white bread. She wasn't breaking out in hives or having any adverse effects to the bread. No, she was just concerned that some future illness could befall her given that one particular dietary decision. Although we all laughed at the time, it was with a bit of shifty-eyed shame. Because most of us (including if not particularly the illustrious Ehrlich family) have lurking within us our very own "White Bread Lady," ready to convince us that each cough, sniffle and less-than-nutritious meal might be a detriment to our health. And, naturally, that White Bread Lady looms even larger when we can type our worries into a search bar and unlock a bevy of potentially distressing information. Yup, so quoth Google, we all have cancer. According to the Pew Research Center, 80% of Internet users have looked up health information online. While that practice can be beneficial in some respects, the abundance of (variably valid) information online can turn us into e-hypochondriacs. (Or, worse, can lead us to neglect getting the care we need.) Read on for five mistakes -- courtesy of a selection of health care professionals -- that people make when diagnosing themselves online. Searching blind . Your eye is twitching like an overly caffeinated college student sitting behind a pretty girl in lecture hall, twirling his pencil and hoping to catch a whiff of her lovely shining hair. You type "eye twitch" into Google and come up with a really rad website that explains that this newfound spasm is actually an indication that your third eye is fixing to open, revealing to you wonders untold. You are the chosen one. Too bad that this trove of "medical information" is actually some dude's fan-fiction site. Sure, the above is an extreme example, but, as Dr. Kevin Pho of KevinMD.com pointed out, "There's a lot of bad information on the Web and information that can be dangerous." Especially if you're not considering who put up that information in the first place. Pho urges users to favor Web addresses ending in .org and .edu when looking for reputable health-care info, and to check who is funding the collection of that information. "There's so much information from organizations trying to sell products or push their agenda on the Web," he said. He suggests turning to sites like Mayo Clinic as well as troves of information curated by doctors (like Pho's own website) when trolling the web for info. And, of course, if a site mentions trolls and third eyes, one should definitely press on. Flailing in forums . If there's one thing people like to do online, it's talk about their problems -- especially mundane things like coughs and headaches and their babies' various and sundry discharges. That's all well and good; sharing experiences with others is enriching! Unless the people you're sharing with are idiots. "You can easily fall into that rabbit hole and find some forum that really isn't relevant but maybe sounds kind of close," warned Craig Monsen, co-founder of symptom-checker app SymCat. On the other hand, "sometimes you'll stumble on exactly the right forum where someone has your same exact problem, and their solution does help." "Health care forums are definitely another tool that individuals can use in order to crowdsource a diagnosis based on their symptoms," added Dr. Natasha Burgert of KC Kids Doc. "I think that these can be a really powerful tool not only for discussing potential diagnosis or symptom relief but also finding a forum of individuals in which you can discuss emotional and psychological parts of an illness and develop a wonderful online support community." The trick is to be wary about the issues being discussed in forums and how germane they are to you. And, you know, if people start talking about homemade remedies fashioned from bleach, maybe click off and see a doc. Getting emotional . You know that game "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon"? There should seriously be a version of that called "6 Degrees of Cancer" -- as in, when looking up your symptoms online, how long does it take to deduce that you have a life-threatening disease instead of, say, a simple cold? According to Burgert, the root of this whole "worst-case scenario" thing is getting too emotional. "For most intents and purposes, when you're looking for online health information, it's about yourself or a family member," she said. "When you're looking through that lens, it's very hard to keep emotional distance. So you can read about a diagnosis that either makes you very scared or calms your fears -- and that's the path you'll continue down, whether it's correct or not." Burgert suggested using online symptom checkers simply to "understand possible diagnoses, find some initial steps for relieving the symptoms and determine if this is something that needs further evaluation or that can be managed at home." SymCat and Mayo Clinic's symptom checker let you type in what you're experiencing and unearth a spectrum of diagnoses and suggestions for when to seek a doctor's aid. Your doctor's website might also have such a tool. Voila, you just increased your separation from cancer by at least a couple of degrees. Keeping mum around MDs . "I think, traditionally, many physicians are a little apprehensive when that stereotypical patient comes to their office with big stacks of printouts from the Internet," Pho said. "But I think more and more doctors are accepting it. Personally, I think that transparency of information is helpful in a way." Translation: Help your doctor help you. If you're worried about a particular medical situation and did some research to help narrow down what's ailing you, share that info with your physician. "I really appreciate when patients bring in information that they found online, because it allows me to guide my instruction and plan based on their true concerns," Burgert said. "People get scared when they get sick and hurt, and they want to use multiple sources of information to help themselves. The Internet adds to that physician's expertise in order to do that." Remember, though, knowing how to use the Internet doesn't make you a doctor. Google doesn't count as a second opinion. If you're unhappy with your doc's diagnosis, go get one the traditional way. Putting off the inevitable . If your ailment isn't going away, all the symptom-checking and Mayo Clinic-ing in the world isn't going to help you. Make a doctor's appointment. Like, right now. Sites like ZocDoc make it super easy (and free; doctors pay to be listed) to set up an appointment ASAP, so no whining that you'll have to wait two weeks to see a doc and maybe by then "it" will have gone away. Unless, of course, "it" is that white bread you just ate. In that case, please stop calling my dad.

Summary:
According to a Pew report, 80% of Internet users have looked up health info online .
Sites like Mayo Clinic and others curated by doctors are safer than online forums .


West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has again criticised referee Mike Dean for his handling of Saturday's London derby defeat by Crystal Palace. The Hammers, currently in ninth place in the Premier League, were beaten 3-1 by the Eagles at the weekend in a contentious contest. Allardyce felt that Palace striker Glenn Murray, scorer of two goals at Upton Park, before being sent off in the 69th minute, should have been dismissed by Dean in the first half for persistent fouling. Glenn Murray was sent off for Crystal Palace during the 3-1 win against West Ham on Saturday . Sam Allardyce was frustrated that Murray was not sent off earlier in the game . Allardyce said: 'The biggest problem for me was that Glenn Murray shouldn't have been on the field, not only because of persistent fouling but the level of his fouling. 'Mike Dean, whom I have a lot of respect for, is a very good referee, but he was too lenient with Murray by telling him 'that's your last chance' after the first booking. 'In that particular instance, Palace have been let off. Mike Dean has a massive responsibility on the fact that (Murray) was one of the main reasons why Crystal Palace won. 'And for me that is something disappointing. The fact a referee warns a player for a tackle he has just made, which normally gets a yellow card, and yet he is only warned because he has just had a yellow card. And that is frustrating.' Murray climbed highest to open the scoring for the visitors in the first half with a header . Murray got his second and Palace's third when he glanced a header past Adrian . Palace captain Mile Jedinak was caught on Sky Sports TV cameras apparently elbowing Diafra Sakho as they both challenged for the ball in the closing stages. Though the incident was not seen at the time by the match officials, the Football Association have since charged the player with violent conduct – and Palace have until Tuesday evening to appeal against that decision. Allardyce has welcomed any retrospective punishment, saying that the Australian midfielder deserves a ban for acting in a dangerous manner against the Senegal striker. He added: 'Jedinak was clearly in a position where Mike Dean couldn't see it. I think about how dangerous it was. It was a very dangerous thing he did. He could have seriously injured Sakho. And he will have to take the punishment – because I think he deserves it.' Mile Jedinak has been charged by the FA with violent conduct after catching Diafra Sakho with his elbow . The incident went unpunished during the game but Jedinak was retrospectively charged . Elsewhere, in his pre-match press conference, ahead of the visit of Chelsea to East London tomorrow night, Allardyce spoke about the chats he enjoyed with Dave Mackay, the former Tottenham, Derby, Hearts and Scotland enforcer, who died aged 80. Allardyce said: 'I knew Dave. He lived in around Nottingham, when I was at Notts County for three years (1997-1999). I spent many a good night with him talking away about his time in football, about management. 'It's a sad day. He was a terrific guy not just a terrific a footballer. In life, you take a lot of things from a lot of people. 'If you want to get better, you don't just read a book or do a Masters' degree at university; you learn a lot from listening to the experiences of people who have been great in their own careers.'

Summary:
West Ham were beaten 3-1 by Crystal Palace at Upton Park on Saturday .
Glenn Murray scored twice for the Visitors before being sent off .
Sam Allardyce is still angry that Murray was not dismissed earlier .
Mile Jedinak elbowed Diafra Sakho and it went unpunished during game .

The celebrity hairstylist behind Karlie Kloss' trademark bob has found himself in the midst of a financial scandal after reports emerged that it was alleged tax delinquency which led to the closure of his high-end namesake salon at New York City's Sherry-Netherland hotel last January. Garren, who goes by his first name only, has trimmed the tresses of hundreds of celebrity clients; earlier this year, he styled Karlie and Taylor Swift's hair for the March cover of Vogue, and worked backstage at New York Fashion Week working with the likes of Gigi Hadid and Anna Ewers. However, despite achieving something of a celebrity status among his fans, the stylist is believed to $504,387.42 in back taxes, according to  Page Six, and is also thought to owe several of his former employees several months’ worth of wages. Close client: Garren posed backstage with Karlie Kloss at the Anna Sui fall 2013 show. The legendary hairstylist is responsible for giving the model her trademark bob . Selfie time: Garren and the 22-year-old model took a minute to take a snapshot during New York Fashion Week in 2014 . Other former stylists who worked at his salon claim that they were never informed the business would be shutting down for good, and were left without any information after simply being told not to come into work. One staffer told Page Six that Garren even claimed the salon was closed on New Year's Day because of 'electrical problems'. Although many of his former employees are angry over the surprise closure, the legendary hairstylist remains popular with high-powered Manhattanites, who are now requesting him to make house calls. 'No matter what happens, no one is going to take away his one thousand Vogue covers,' a staffer told the publication. Day of primping: One of Garren's clients can be seen reading a magazine at his former New York City salon, which suddenly shuttered last January . Sleek design: Garren's former employees sat behind the counter at his namesake salon . The source continued: 'There are clients that said: "I would never see him again" [but] who now hire him to cut their hair in their kitchens. They are just so happy to have him [doing house calls].' And even though the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance reports that Garren owes a half a million dollars as of February 18, 2015, his talent is still in high demand. Garren, who has yet to comment about the allegations, is reportedly going to be featured in upcoming W magazine’s May issue. When the news of his salon's closure first broke last January, a spokesperson for his hair care product line told Page Six that he had closed the shop because he had plans to expand his product line and that he also had plans to open a salon in Miami in 2016. Dynamic duo: Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss had their hair styled by Garren for this March cover of Vogue . Iconic star: Garren styled Madonna's hair for the cover of her latest album Rebel Heart . And while the reason he closed the doors of his salon remain unknown, the demise of his business hasn’t prevented the stylist from working on the luscious locks of many A-list stars in the past few months. In addition to Karlie and Taylor's Vogue cover, Garren has also done Madonna's hair for her Rebel Heart album cover, Kendall Jenner's spread in Vogue and Gigi Hadid's hair at the Anna Sui fall/winter 2015 show during New York Fashion Week. Garren, who launched his career and in the 1970s, had a salon in Henri Bendel before he moved to his most recent Sherry-Netherland location. He also co-founded the hair-care line R+Co with fellow hairstylists Thom Priano and Howard McLaren. Blonde ambition: Gigi Hadid can be seen walking the runway at Anna Sui's fall/winter 2015 show after Garren did her hair during New York Fashion Week . Master at work: Garren can be seen styling a model's hair backstage at the Anna Sui fall/ winter 2014 show .

Summary:
Garren, who is known only by his first name, has worked with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Madonna .
The stylist abruptly shut down his salon without warning in January and reportedly owes his former employees several months' worth of wages .
Private clients are believed to be paying him to cut their hair at their homes .


Banks including Lloyds and RBS have come under fire for their treatment of small businesses . Banks including RBS and Lloyds have again come under fire over their treatment of small businesses. It has emerged many put firms into high-interest fixed-rate loans then charged them huge fees to switch when interest rates plummeted. MPs are stepping up pressure on high street lenders, urging them to review their sales of the loans, which have trapped thousands of businesses in poor deals. Members of the Treasury Committee are said to be 'furious' the City watchdog failed to protect these small firms. Banks have already paid £1.8billion in compensation for mis-sold 'interest rate swaps', meant to protect firms if interest rates rose. When rates fell to record lows many companies were hit with huge 'breakage' penalties if they wanted to switch deals. More than 14,000 small businesses received compensation. But fixed-rate loans and tailored business loans – the centre of the latest row – are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, meaning customers mis-sold them are not eligible for compensation. The FCA says such loans can also saddle businesses with huge switching fees. Some have an interest rate swap buried in the contract, but even the more basic loans can come with huge unpredictable break penalties. According to the Treasury Committee, fixed-rate loans and tailored business loans can be just as dangerous as interest rate swaps. It has emerged 60,000 firms were sold these loans – about half by Lloyds, around 11,000 from RBS, and 11,272 by Clydesdale Bank. In a damning report earlier this month into the treatment of small firms by banks, the Treasury Committee said it had received evidence Clydesdale Bank mis-sold tailored business loans. It said the lender engineered the products so the interest rate swap was buried in the loan – meaning it fell outside the FCA's remit. Firms were hit with penalties of up to 40 per cent of the value of the loan if they wanted to terminate their contract. Last night Mark Garnier, a Conservative member of the Treasury Committee, said: 'We are furious with the regulator for not picking this up. The FCA is walking away from its moral responsibility, if not its legal duty, to protect consumers.' He added: 'Banks need to demonstrate they have changed – and voluntarily resolving this issue would help to resolve that.' RBS said it is trawling through its sales of fixed-rate loans. Lloyds said its fixed-rate loans were 'fundamentally different' to the tailored business loans sold by Clydesdale Bank, with lower break costs.

Summary:
Banks including Lloyds and RBS under fire for treatment of  businesses .
Many found to be putting small firms into high-interest fixed-rate loans .
They charged them huge fees to switch when interest rates plummeted .


A giant semi-fossilised egg that is almost 100 times larger than a chicken's egg and still has the tiny skeleton of a bird inside is to go on sale for more than £50,000. The rare egg, which is 12 inches long and more than eight inches in diametre, belonged to the now extinct elephant bird that lived on Madagascar. The flightless birds, which stood nearly 10 feet (three metres) tall and weighted half a tonne, died out in the 17th century after heavy hunting. Scroll down for video . This 12 inch long elephant bird egg - just one of 25 known to remain intact around the world - is going on sale . There are thought to be just 25 preserved intact elephant bird eggs left in existence, with most in museums. Now one owned by a German marine biologist Professor Hubert Caspers, who worked at the Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries Science before his death in 1998, is to go on sale in Bruges, Belgium. Genetic material has been extracted from the shells of ancient elephant bird eggs. It has raised hopes that it may be possible to use cloning techniques to resurrect the extinct species. By injecting the genetic material into the unfertilised eggs of other large flightless birds like the ostrich, it may be possible to recreate the elephant bird. However, scientists face significant challenges that need to be overcome before this is possible. Cloning birds is considered to be particularly challenging. Extracting enough DNA from eggshells is also thought to be another limiting factor. Finally much of the habitat the the elephant birds once inhabited has now changed, so there may be few places where such a large species could now live. Scans taken of the egg, which is at least 400 years old, have also revealed the tiny bones of an embryo that had started to grow inside along with dehydrated organic material. Scientists were recently able to extract DNA from a similar egg, raising hopes that it may be possible to bring the elephant bird back to life using cloning techniques. Auctioneers Rob Michiels, who is selling the egg along with other items from Dr Caspers collection, said the egg appeared to be older than other eggs that have been sold recently. He said: 'The eggs of elephant birds are extremely rare - there are probably 25 of them in the world. 'This once comes from the collection of Dr Caspers and we have been asked to sell it by his children who thought it was a dinosaur egg. 'The children didn't know a lot about their father's collection. 'I was invited to Hamburg to look at a collection of antique tiles that he owned and I spotted the egg. It was just sat in a box. 'We have had a CT scan of the egg and it showed there is still organic, dehydrated material inside in the form of fetal bones. 'Technically, you could extract DNA from it and if you have a very large ostrich you could re-create a form of an elephant bird. 'The mother either ran away from the nest or was killed.' A CT scan of the elephant bird egg revealed dehydrated organic matter, shown as pink in the image above, and fragments of fetal bone still preserved inside the egg, shown by the small white mark in the pink material . The egg that has come up for sale (left) is one of the largest in the world and was laid by the now extinct elephant bird (right) which grew to around ten feet tall and lived in Madagascar until the 17th Century . The elephant bird, or Aepyornis maximus, was one of the largest birds to have ever lived. They are thought to have been common in Madagascar until they wre hunted into extinction during the 17th century. Fossilised egg fragments can still be found on the ground in some parts of Madagascar. David Attenborough, the natural history broadcaster, owns an almost complete eggshell that he pieced together from fragments collected by locals while he filmed Zoo Quest to Madagasar in 1961. The CT scans took slices through the egg and revealed dehydrated organic material and bone fragments inside . Another elephant bird egg was sold in 2013 for £66,675 - more than twice its expected value. Douglas G. D. Russell, senior curator of birds, eggs and nests at the Natural History Museum in London, said the elephant bird eggs were now very rare. He said: 'The export of their eggs from Madagascar is now strictly forbidden by the country’s legislation and complete eggs are relatively rare. 'As a rare, complete egg of an extinct species with some, albeit minimal, foetal bone it is noteworthy and all additional information on this enormous enigmatic bird is exciting.' Broadcaster David Attenborough is one of the few people to won a giant elephant bird egg after he pieced one together from fragments brought to him by locals while he was filming in Madagascar for the BBC in 1961 . This fossilised elephant bird egg, shown next to a hen's egg, sold for £66,000 during an auction in 2013 .

Summary:
The egg, which belonged to a German biologist, has an eight inch diametre .
CT scans have revealed dried organic material and bone fragments inside .
It is thought to be one of only 25 intact elephant bird eggs left in the world .
The egg is expected to sell for more than £50,000 at an auction in Belgium .
Elephant birds died out during the 17th century after being heavily hunted .


Most people won't do 400 pull-ups during their lifetime. Mark Jordan of Corpus Christi, Texas, did more than 4,000 in 24 hours. Jordan, 54, did 4,321 pull-ups over the course of two days to become the new Guinness World Record holder. Scroll down for video . Mark Jordan of Corpus Christi, Texas, did 4,321 pull-ups in November of 2014 to break the world record . Even though he broke the record last year, Guinness made it official and awarded Jordan a certificate last week . He broke the record in 24 hours on November 3 and 4 in 2014 during a fundraiser for a charity called HELP, the Hammonds Education Leadership Program. The previous record was 4,210, according to WFAA. After breaking the record in November, Jordan wrote on Facebook: 'To all of my friends, new-found, long-standing and true, for all of your posts of encouragement, love and support, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart! 'What you have done and continue to do for this endeavor goes beyond words! 'Some of our most noted accomplishments as individuals never really occur completely by ourselves, even if it is started by us as individuals.' Jordan, 54, performed the record-breaking feat during a fundraiser for a charity group called HELP . The record was made official on Wednesday when he received his certificate at the Corpus Christi Crossfit gym, KRIS TV reported. Jordan said he hopes his record will inspire others to take care of their health 'no matter what age you are'. He settled on 4,321 because he was tired and for another reason. Jordan said: 'It was a combination of things. 'One, I was looking to pass the previous record that was set. 'And then upon passing that record, I had a little bit of energy left and so as we got closer to getting very tired, I saw 4-3-2-1 as something that was really easy to remember and something that I was shooting for.' A man who tried to break the record in July was forced to stop after the muscles in his arm started to tear and he had to be briefly hospitalized .

Much of the goodwill Hillary Clinton built up as serving as secretary of state has dissipated, a new poll shows, just as she prepares for a second bid for the presidency. And her popularity has taken an especially hard hit since the public became aware that she operated a private email system while serving in President Barack Obama's cabinet. A CNN/ORC International survey taken last weekend, after Clinton held a press conference at which she tried to explain away her secret server, found that Clinton's high approval ratings as an Obama administration official had entirely eroded. Scroll down for video . Hillary is currently disliked by as many Americans, 44 percent, as she was in June of 2008 when she officially ended her presidential campaign and endorsed her future employer, President Barack Obama . She is currently disliked by as many Americans, 44 percent, as she was in June of 2008 when she officially ended her presidential campaign and endorsed her future employer. That's a six-point drop from CNN's last poll, taken in November, when 38 percent of respondents said they weren't fond of Clinton. Likewise, a slim majority, 53 percent, said they view Clinton positively, down from 59 percent a few months ago, and 69 percent at her career peak in the State Department in September of 2011. Throughout her time as the country's chief diplomat Clinton generally enjoyed favorability ratings in the '60s. It was after she tendered her resignation in early 2013 that the public's adoration of her began to slide, dipping to 55 percent after she claimed last spring that she and husband bill were 'dead broke' when they moved out of the White House. After a quick bounce back up to 59 percent late last fall, Clinton's likability now teeters above the majority water mark. This as the Democratic politician is expected to formally launch her presidential campaign as early as the first week in April. Clinton's last known paid speech, to the American Camp Association, will take place on Thursday, suggesting an announcement will come within weeks. A handful of Democratic operatives are also rumored to be leaving their posts at the White House and elsewhere soon for top spots in Clinton's campaign network. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raises her glass during a toast at a ceremony to induct her into the Irish America Hall of Fame on Monday in New York City. This as the Democratic politician is expected to formally launch her presidential campaign as early as the first week in April. Her last known paid speech is this week . A total of 51 percent of respondents to CNN's poll said they believe the email system revelations to be either very or somewhat serious in nature compared the combined 48 percent who said the controversy was not too serious or 'not a problem at all.' The same amount, 51 percent, said Clinton needed to better explain her motives and that they believed she'd done something 'wrong.' The split indicates that while the public haranguing of Clinton over her use of a personal email address to conduct government business has mostly ended the subject could prove as an effective attack line for Clinton's Republican opponent in the general election next year. Still, 52 percent said Clinton's actions don't disqualify her from serving as commander in chief, and 57 percent said they'd be 'proud' to have her in the Oval Office - up from 50 percent the last time CNN's pollsters asked potential voters the same question in March of 2014.

Summary:
The high approval rating Clinton enjoyed as an Obama administration official has entirely eroded .
She's currently disliked by as many Americans, 44 percent, as she was in June of 2008 when she ended her presidential bid and endorsed Obama .

With the average cost of a wedding hitting £25,000, thrifty brides are always on the hunt for ways to budget when it comes to planning the big day. And now, George at Asda is hoping to help - by launching a wedding collection for bridesmaids and pageboys starting from just £7.

The new launch comes on the back of research by the store revealing that the average number of bridesmaids at a UK wedding is now four, with two-thirds of brides coughing up in excess of £500 to kit out bridesmaids, flowergirls and pageboys. Kate Moss sparked the 'more is more' trend with 14 flowergirls and two page boys at her wedding to Jamie Hince in 2011. But Poppy Delevingne went one (or rather, three) better with an impressive 17 bridesmaids and two pageboys when she said 'I Do' in May last year. To kit out Poppy's entourage in the new collection from Asda would come in at £578.

If this was the last-chance saloon then Rafael was the life and soul of the party with a standout performance as Manchester United's Under 21s drew 1-1 with Tottenham. The Brazilian right back, 24, is said to be fighting for his future at Old Trafford after struggling to impress manager Louis van Gaal. He has made just nine appearances this term and was an unused substitute for the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Arsenal on Monday after being left out of the squad altogether for the previous two matches against Sunderland and Newcastle - despite overcoming injury. Rafael impressed for Manchester United's U21s against Tottenham at Old Trafford on Tuesday . Rafael was an unused substitute during United's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Arsenal on Monday . Rafael was United's star performer in their 1-1 draw against Tottenham's U21s at Old Trafford . Rafael is congratulated by United team-mate Tom Thorpe after scoring the eqauliser on Tuesday . But he showed no sign of rustiness in the kind of all-action display that has seen him become a cult hero at Old Trafford. In a first-half in which he, unlike fellow senior Radamel Falcao, rarely put a foot wrong Rafael brought the house down with a delightful goal. With United trailing to Kenny McEvoy's neat opener, the defender intercepted a throw from Spurs keeper Luke McGee, chesting it down before clipping a delightful lob over the same man from 30 yards with his left foot. It brought a youthful house down - and was a timely reminder of his attacking talents in front of a watching assistant manager Ryan Giggs. United assistant manager Ryan Giggs (second left) and U21 Nicky Butt (third left) watched on in the stands . Antonio Valencia's misplaced back pass on Monday night saw United crash out of the FA Cup . United are understood to be open to offers for Rafael with a number of clubs in his homeland said to be leading the charge. But pressure will be growing on current incumbent Antonio Valencia after his poor performance in Monday's 2-1 home FA Cup quarter final defeat to Arsenal. Rafael will have done his cause no harm, although remaining on the field for 90 minutes would not appear to be a good omen. If nothing else, he may well have earned himself a stay of execution as Van Gaal's search for a winning formula rumbles on.

Summary:
Brazilian defender played 90 minutes against Tottenham U21s on Tuesday .
Rafael was unused substitute against Arsenal in FA Cup on Monday .
United remain open to offers for 24-year-old right-back .
Radamel Falcao also played in 1-1 draw at Old Trafford .


West Brom boss Tony Pulis admits he takes great pride in Stoke's success under Mark Hughes because his successor is reaping the benefits of his own work at the Britannia Stadium. Pulis welcomes his former club to the Black Country on Saturday hoping to break Stoke's 100 per cent winning record at The Hawthorns. While the Baggies head into the match on the back of two frustrating defeats to local rivals Aston Villa in league and cup action, Stoke are looking for a fourth successive win and sit eighth in the Barclays Premier League. Tony Pulis admits he takes pride in seeing Stoke's success in the Premier League this season .

'Look at the players who are there, the backbone of that football club, like Glenn Whelan, Ryan Shawcross, Asmir Begovic, Steven N'Nonzi, Peter Crouch, Jon Walters, just a few to mention. 'Marc Wilson, Geoff Cameron, wonderful people and wonderful professionals, and it's really nice when you take over a club with all good professionals like that.' He added: 'How many players has Mark brought in? 'I don't know but the majority of the lads who were there before still seem to be picked week-in week-out, that's testament to them as individuals to win over a new manager. Pulis takes credit for the 'backbone' of the Stoke side, which includes Ryan Shawcross (above) 'Glenn Whelan and Ryan Shawcross are the only ones who were there when we got promoted from the Championship. 'They've been brilliant. And they've been brilliant for the football club.' Albion have doubts over strikers Saido Berahino, Brown Ideye and Victor Anichebe for the clash. Berahino and Ideye have been playing through the pain barrier recently while Anichebe has a groin problem. Winger Callum McManaman has a foot injury which boss Tony Pulis has decided to rest for a few weeks. Saido Berahino (centre) is a doubt for West Brom's Premier League clash against Stoke .

Laurence Fishburne is a multimillionaire actor with roles on hit shows on both ABC and NBC and a part in the upcoming 'Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice.' His 80-year-old mother, meanwhile, is broke and facing eviction - and her successful son refuses to call her, she told the New York Post. 'He's gone Hollywood.  For 20 years, I funded my son’s career. He promised me he would take care of me. ... To this day, I have not got a Christmas present or a "Thank you, Mama" present. He hasn’t given me a penny,' Hattie Crawford Fishburne told the newspaper.

Laurence was a child star, appearing on state at age 10 and in soap operas by 12. At age 14, he lied his way into a role in 'Apocalypse Now' by claiming he was 18. The father-of-three has had other estrangements from his family, according to the Post. His daughter Montana says he stopped speaking to her when it emerged she was appearing in porn videos. She was last reported to be working as a stripper in Texas.
