Query: It's up to the @placeholder people, Obama said, "to determine their security structures and how it engages with other nations, including the United States."
Entities: Mexican, Peña Nieto, United States, Barack Obama, Enrique Peña Nieto, Costa Rica, U.S., Mexico, Obama, CNN, Central American
Passage: (CNN) -- Two issues -- security and immigration -- often get too much attention when it comes to talking about the U.S.-Mexico relationship, U.S. President Barack Obama said Thursday. Now, Obama said, it's time to forge deeper economic connections to create more jobs and more trade on both sides of the border. "That's the focus of my visit," he told reporters after meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in the country's capital. But even as Obama and Peña Nieto pushed to shift the tone more toward trade and economics, security issues loomed large over Thursday's meeting. Peña Nieto said his government remains committed to fighting organized crime, but that the United States and Mexico must "cooperate on the basis of mutual respect, to be more efficient in our security strategy that we are implementing in Mexico." A new high-level group to discuss economic cooperation will convene in the fall. Obama says ties between the U.S. and Mexico go beyond security and immigration. Mexico's president says his administration is committed to fighting organized crime. The U.S. president will travel to Costa Rica on Friday to meet with Central American leaders

Query: Wenger agreed that @placeholder had a 'massive' gap to make up on early leaders Chelsea

Passage: Monaco still want Arsene Wenger to return to the club, despite the Frenchman only signing a new contract with Arsenal in May Arsene Wenger has revealed that Mesut Ozil heard a crack in his ruptured left knee before half-time in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on October 5. The Arsenal midfielder bravely battled through the pain barrier and played the full 90 minutes before German team doctors confirmed the full extent of his injury when he reported for international duty. In an exclusive interview with beIN Sports, which will be broadcast on Thursday and again on Saturday, Wenger said: ‘He had a little problem just before he went out at half-time. He had a little pain with his knee, he felt a crack. Mesut Ozil played through the pain to complete 90 minutes at Chelsea. Arsene Wenger says he was 'deeply shocked' by the incident. Ozil is expected to be out until early next year with the problem. Wenger says that his growing injury list is down to coincidence

Query: No his year: Here, @placeholder mayor candidate Benny Napoleon concedes the race to Duggan during an election night watch party in Detroit
Entities: Benny Napoleon, Duggan, Napoleon, Ap, Mike Duggan, Detroit, Coleman Young, Wayne County
Passage: By Ap Reporter PUBLISHED: 23:41 EST, 5 November 2013 | UPDATED: 01:35 EST, 6 November 2013 A former medical center chief defeated a county sheriff to become the first white mayor of financially troubled Detroit since 1974, though the job holds little power while the city is being run by a state-appointed emergency manager. Unofficial returns showed Mike Duggan defeating Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon 55 percent to 45 percent. Napoleon conceded defeat late Tuesday in a race where he was outspent by Duggan by about 3-to-1 heading into Tuesday's election. Both candidates had said during the campaign that the state-appointed emergency manager should leave the city and allow the new mayor to fix Detroit's finances when he takes office in January. Detroit has elected only black men to lead the city since Coleman Young's 20 years on the job began in the 1970s. Duggan made it to the general election after winning the August primary as a write-in candidate by 20,000 votes. Duggan beat Sheriff Benny Napoleon with 55 percent of the vote, having outspent him 3-to-1

Passage: (CNN) -- With Eric Shinseki's resignation Friday, the top post at the Department of Veterans Affairs goes to interim Secretary Sloan Gibson. Gibson was deputy secretary for just three months before his new role, but President Barack Obama already has laid out some priorities for him. During Friday's news conference in which Obama announced Shinseki's resignation, he also addressed some qualities and priorities needed in the next VA secretary. Pressure had been mounting for Shinseki to step down amid a scandal involving long waits for care at VA hospitals. "At this stage, what I want is somebody at the VA who is not spending time outside of solving problems for the veterans," Obama said. President Obama lays out some priorities for the next VA leader. The VA's interim secretary will be Sloan Gibson, ex-USO leader. Obama: Priority is for all veterans who want medical appointments to get them in timely manner

Passage: By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 09:51 EST, 23 June 2013 | UPDATED: 12:17 EST, 23 June 2013 Researchers say that recently unearthed photos of the remote Pacific island near the site of a reef where they believe Amelia Earhart's plane may have landed during her doomed 1937 flight around the world could prove that the aviator and her navigator lived for a time as castaways, and didn't die in a supposed crash as previously thought. Last month, researchers contracted by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) found what they say are sonar images of Earhart's plane just off the coast of what is now Nikumaroro Island, which is part of the Phoenix Islands roughly 3,000 miles northeast of Australia in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Earhart's plane disappeared in the Pacific Ocean during her doomed 1937 flight around the world.

Passage: U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice passed up a golden opportunity on Friday to walk back her Sunday television praise for accused Army deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl as an American who had 'served the United States with honor and distinction.' Rice waded once again into controversy with comments on ABC's Sunday morning news program 'This Week,' setting off an immediate firestorm among Americans who had already learned that Bergdahl was no ordinary hostage overseas. Taliban forces in Afghanistan turned him over to U.S. Special Forces on Saturday after nearly five years of captivity following his voluntary walk-off from his base near the Pakistan border. The United States released five Taliban terror leaders in exchange, sending them to Qatar for a one-year period of loosely defined house arrest. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the day after Taliban forces released accused Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl that he had 'served the United States with honor and distinction' CNN gave her a chance to walk back her praise for Bergdahl on Friday, but the stubborn Rice doubled down. The last time the White House cited a soldier's 'honor and distinction' it was in 2013 when Obama lauded 241 U.S. servicemen and women killed by a 1983 Hezbollah suicide bomber. Rice defended herself on CNN, saying she was talking about Bergdahl's decision to volunteer for the military: 'That, in and of itself, is a very honorable thing' 'But honor and distinction?' a surprised CNN reporter asked. Rice has been a lightning rod for Republicans since her 2012 flawed claims that a terror attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya was actually the work of a spontaneous mob upset about an anti-Islam film made in the US

Passage: By Sam Adams Updated: 01:45 EST, 7 September 2012 A hit-and-run driver who killed a toddler in a case that shocked China has been jailed for three years - but 18 passers-by who ignored the two-year-old as she lay bleeding in the street have escaped punishment. Horrific video footage of Wang Yue - known as Yue Yue - being knocked down by a van in Foshan, a city in the southern province of Guandong, caused outrage when it hit the internet last year. The footage showed people walking or cycling past her for the next seven minutes before a second vehicle runs her over. Van driver Hu Jun has been jailed for three-and-a-half years for 'involuntary homicide', following her death - but those who walked by have gone unpunished. Disgust at 'leniency' of van driver's sentence - and that none of the passers by who ignored the bleeding two-year-old were punished. Announcement of her death quickly became the most talked about topic on China's version of Twitter. Country's economic boom and disparity between rich and poor have made changing social values a contentious topic

Gilad Shalit has been held captive by Hamas without any contact with the outside world since the summer of 2006, and efforts to end his captivity have become a rallying cry for thousands of Israelis who have actively supported efforts by his family to put pressure on the government to bring about his release. Gilad Shalit has been held captive by Hamas since the summer of 2006. Efforts to end his captivity have become a rallying cry for thousands of Israelis. There is growing debate about the price Israel is willing to pay to free one soldier. PM Benjamin Netanyahu once held a "no-concessions" stance on such deals

Passage: By Daily Mail Reporter Olympic star hockey player TJ Oshie and his fiancee Lauren Cosgrove became first time parents after Cosgrove gave birth to baby girl Lyla Grace on Monday. St Louis Blues player Oshie was one of the stars of the Sochi Olympics, helping nab the men's hockey team a decent fourth-place in the tournament. But Cosgrove had to cheer on her 'heartthrob' fiancee from back home in Missouri, since she was too pregnant to fly to Russia. Thankfully, the excitement of the Olympic hockey tournament didn't send Cosgrove into a premature labor and she gave birth as scheduled at 9:57am on St Patrick's Day with Oshie by her side. Oshie and fiancee Lauren Cosgrove gave birth to their daughter on Monday. The hockey star took off that night's game against Winnepeg, but was back on the ice two days later for a match against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 27-year-old became a sensation at Sochi after helping the men's team advance past Russia in the tournament.

Passage: (CNN) -- If you read the headlines this week about the the death of Judge Robert Bork, you probably took away that he will be remembered for his conservative judicial philosophy and losing a very contentious Supreme Court confirmation battle. You probably didn't read about the impact he made on modern media, and maybe even on the debate the Internet had about Instagram this week. But that's part of his legacy, too. Let's connect the dots from Bork to Instagram, shall we? 1. The Bork Tapes President Ronald Reagan nominated Bork for the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987. During his confirmation hearings, an enterprising reporter found a list of the movies he'd rented at his local video rental store. Judge Robert Bork, who died this week, has unlikely connection to digital media. After a reporter outed Bork's video-rental history, Congress made doing so illegal. That law shut down a Facebook sharing feature and helped prompt long terms-of-service. An Instagram TOS update spurred this week's user revolt

Former Baltimore crime reporter David Simon, whose bleak portrait of his drug-ravaged home city has been hailed as the greatest television drama of all time, said he wanted the drugs debate re-framed.

Entities: BFM-TV, French, France, Lamia Shakkour, Syrian, France 24, Reuters, Shakkour, Syria, CNN, Paris
Passage: Paris (CNN) -- A French television network said Thursday it has filed a complaint with the Paris public prosecutor alleging identity theft and impersonation related to an interview it broadcast Tuesday with a woman the network identified as Ambassador Lamia Shakkour, Syria's ambassador to France. During the telephone interview, the woman said she was resigning her post because of the ongoing violence in Syria. "I cannot support the cycle of extreme violence ... ignore the young men, women and children who have died," she said. Shortly afterward, Shakkour denied to CNN affiliate BFM-TV that she had made any such statement, alleging in an on-camera interview that she had been impersonated. Syria's ambassador denies having made call to France 24 saying she was resigning. France 24 alleges identity theft and impersonation related to the interview. France 24 commissioned an analysis that shows the two voices are different. Resignation was also reported by Reuters, which cited Syrian Embassy as its source

Passage: Angry Everton manager Roberto Martinez claimed champions Manchester City should have had two men sent off by referee Andre Marriner in a feisty evening game at The Etihad Stadium. City defender Eliaquim Mangala left Samuel Eto'o with bad bruising on his back after a high and dangerous kung-fu style kick and later on Fernando's boot was even higher when he caught Gareth Barry on the forehead as they challenged for the ball soon after Yaya Toure had controversially given City a 24th-minute lead from the penalty spot. Martinez, who was also unhappy that Phil Jagielka had been penalised for a challenge on James Milner for the spot-kick, said: 'I don't like players being sent off but when you get a referee who gives a penalty to the letter of the law, Mangala is a red card every time. Eliaquim Mangala left Samuel Eto'o with bad bruising on his back. Manchester City's Fernando caught Gareth Barry with another high tackle. Roberto Martinez was also unhappy with penalty decision in first half

The 49-year old was found dead shortly before 6 a.m., marking the end of her 12 years at the GCL Footwear factory. Zhou had just been fired the previous night for participating in a strike that was part of a long-running labor dispute. She was one of more than 100 workers sacked for their involvement.

Passage: (CNN) -- A seven-year-old boy who spent a winter's night lost in chilly conditions in the Australian bush says a friendly kangaroo is the reason he survived. South Australian police said Simon Kruger went missing in the Deep Creek Conservation Park, south of Adelaide, after wandering away from a family picnic shortly after 1.15pm Saturday. A search party of about 40, including two rescue helicopters, was mobilized to locate Simon, who was wearing just a fleece top and track pants and was not equipped for a night in the elements. The search party continued their efforts through the night, operating using parachute flares, before a rescue helicopter spotted him about 500 meters from where he had gone missing nearly 24 hours earlier. Boy, 7, says kangaroo helped him survive a chilly night in the Australian bush. He says he went missing from a family picnic after a kangaroo ate flowers he was picking. He spent nearly 24 hours lost in in bush while a search party looked for him. His father said the kangaroo was "a gift from God"

It's also a book, Genova was told, that nobody would want to read. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice," found success after self-publishing her novel. After spending 1½ years writing "Still Alice," Genova spent just as much time trying to find a literary agent. "I never heard a response from most of the query letters I sent," Genova said. "Four literary agents asked to see the book. One of them said she just didn't think there was a general audience that would want to read about Alzheimer's." Print-on-demand means digital copies only get printed when someone buys a book. Lisa Genova decided to self-publish after her book was turned down by agents.

Passage: By Louise Boyle A mysterious fire which destroyed North America's greatest ancient civilization has led to fascinating discoveries about social tensions, violent tendencies and religious practices within the society. The city of Cahokia, whose secrets lie underneath where St Louis, Missouri now stands, was ruined by a huge blaze around the year 1170 CE. Following the disaster, the Native American city changed dramatically - defense walls were built, buildings fortified and a sun symbol incorporated into designs. The significant changes have led to one nagging historical mystery - just how did the fire start? The illustration is an aerial perspective of Cahokia Mounds circa AD 1150-1200 which was destroyed by a huge blaze. Cahokia was built around 600CE and stood on the site of St Louis, Missouri. It was surrounded by 120 pyramids similar to Mayan temples. With a population of 15,000 people, Cahokia was similiar in size to London or Paris at the time

Entities: Thoma, Mark Thoma, Federal Reserve, Hell, Great Recession, CNN, Dow, Dow Jones
Passage: (CNN) -- After reaching a record high of 14,253.77 on Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average rose an additional 0.3% on Wednesday to reach a new record high of 14,296.39. First off, the latest Dow number is not really a record. If we adjust it for inflation, the Dow still has a way to go. But is the rising number a sign that the economy, which has been improving sluggishly, is about to improve dramatically? Probably not. For example, the previous peak in the Dow in 2007 was just before the onset of the Great Recession, and remember what happened then? Right, the economy crashed. People got scared. Hell broke loose. No -- not really, but there was plenty of fear going around. Mark Thoma: The latest Dow number is not really a record when adjusted for inflation. Thoma: It's good that the stock market is doing well, but it's not a reliable predictor of economy. He says Federal Reserve's policy of quantitative easing has contributed to Dow's rise. Thoma: General optimism has also helped push the stock market up

Passage: (CNN) -- Police in Boulder, Colorado, want to talk to the older brother of JonBenet Ramsey, the 6-year-old girl slain at home on Christmas night 14 years ago, the Ramsey family's attorney said. Supporters of the family call it harassment. The brother, Burke Ramsey, has no interest in once again answering questions he has answered for many investigators many times, said the attorney, Lin Wood, of Atlanta, Georgia. And yet the mere hint of activity in one of the nation's most famous cold cases has headlines swirling. So, what's the story this time? Burke Ramsey was the 9-year-old brother of JonBenet who, by all accounts, slept soundly in his room that Christmas in 1996 while his sister's skull was fractured and she was strangled elsewhere in the house. Police say they want to talk again with JonBenet Ramsey's older brother, Burke. Burke Ramsey has nothing to tell them, says family lawyer Lin Wood.

Passage: Hong Kong (CNN) -- Australian airline Qantas is shedding another 500 jobs as it seeks to cut costs after a massive fall in net profit in the first half of the financial year. Net profit dived 83% to $45 million (A$42M) in the six months to December due to rising fuel prices and flight cancellations during an industrial dispute in October. Chief executive Alan Joyce talked up the results, saying the airline's portfolio of businesses had once again shown "resilience in difficult conditions." "Improvements in operating cash flow, revenue, yield and unit costs, and record results for Jetstar and Qantas Frequent Flyer, helped offset the financial effect on the Group," he said. Qantas net profit falls 83% in six months to end of December. Industrial action, high fuel prices dragged on profit figure. Carrier plans to cut capital expenditure to shore up business.
