Query: After nearly a year under the repression of ISIS, @placeholder and about 20 other activists formed a campaign in April that they called "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" to push the vigilante group out of their hometown.
Entities: Green, ISIS, Syrian, Raqqa, al Qaeda, WhatsApp, Arabic, Muslims, Abu Ibrahim
Passage: It is a scene seared forever into the memory of an eyewitness: Masked men drag the bloodied body of a man across a public square, and tie it to a make-shift cross on a metal pole. Green string holds the body's arms outstretched across a wood plank as blood oozes from the gunshot wound to his head. Militiamen wrap the body's black "WhatsApp" shirt with a sign in red letters that reads in Arabic: "This man fought Muslims and detonated an IED here." The eyewitness -- a man we will call Abu Ibrahim -- does more than watch. He steps closer and snaps a picture with his cell phone; the children around him gawk at the horrific spectacle with quiet curiosity. An eyewitness and his pictures document a Syrian scene meant to send a message. Bodies are strung up on crosses in the city of Raqqa. An al Qaeda splinter group -- ISIS -- says it's a lesson for any who dare challenge it. An effort is underway by local activists to try to push ISIS out of Raqqa

Query: I hope we choose inclusive politics and a common purpose to unleash the creativity, potential, and opportunity that makes @placeholder exceptional.
Entities: New York Times, State Department, Washington, America, Boko Haram, Hillary Clinton, Republican, Clinton, Hard Choices, John Dickerson, Ana Navarro, CNN, Keystone, Slate
Passage: How many ways can political reporters, pundits and book reviewers write that Hillary Clinton's memoir "Hard Choices" is devoid of salacious details or titillatingly news? Many, apparently. John Dickerson, Slate's chief political correspondent, wrote that it was "risk-free telling of Clinton's world travels" and Ana Navarro, a CNN Republican pundit, described it as "50 shades of boring." The New York Times book review was even more stark: "There is little news in the book." Clinton's book is a thorough retelling of her time as America's top diplomat, not a salacious tell-all written by somebody who is done with a life in the public sphere. In a methodical way, Clinton chronicles her time as secretary of state by jumping from hot spot to hot spot, describing each detailed problem as, quite expectedly, a "hard choice." Hillary Clinton's memoir is a retelling of her time at State Department. She says that she didn't write for "followers of Washington's long-running soap opera" While Clinton has spoken extensively about Boko Haram, group is absent from book. Clinton also avoids controversial Keystone pipeline, which still awaits a decision

Query: There were a few moments of strong Republican branding last night; I thought the best single line came from @placeholder, when he said "I believe we have become paralyzed by our desire to be loved."
Entities: Anne Romney, Romney, Ted Cruz, Hanft, Chris Christie, Republican, Adam Hanft, CNN, GOP, Rick Santorum
Passage: (CNN) -- There isn't just one Republican national convention that started on Tuesday; there are four of them going on. There's the convention for the base, which is why Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz were up there, and why the day was suffused with religion. Then there's the convention for the undecided -- or as they are called now, the persuadables. Anne Romney and Chris Christie were the headliners for this bunch. Mrs. Romney's role was to be the humanizer-in-chief, and the governor's role was to bring his blunt charm to independents looking for a lack of posturing and pandering. As the week progresses, other speakers will be carefully chosen for their ability to get fence-sitters to climb in their direction. Adam Hanft: These are four GOP conventions in one, playing to different groups. He says the party is aiming at the base, undecideds, the media and everyone else. He says GOP has fragmented message with too many masters. Hanft: Can politics win anyway? So far it doesn't look good

Query: Despite the possible attacks, experts in @placeholder politics and friends close to Booker tell CNN that there is little chance the mayor's national profile will diminish if he heads to the Senate later this year.
Entities: N.J. Senate, Booker, N.J., Cory Booker, New Jersey, Bogota, Republican, Steve Lonegan, Dem., United States Senate, Democratic, CNN, Newark, Washington, Senate
Passage: Washington (CNN) -- Cory Booker already had a national identity before he decided to run for senator. The media-savvy, tweet-happy mayor from Newark -- who easily won the New Jersey Democratic primary for Senate Tuesday -- has been known for his man-of-the-people streak, charismatic presence and social media intensity, or as some say, fixation. Cory Booker becomes Democratic nominee for N.J. Senate seat But can he make the switch from a nationally popular hands-on mayor to the contentious spotlight of the United States Senate? Booker, in his path to Tuesday's win, weathered a few negative headlines, but came out largely unscathed by his Democratic opponents. His Republican challenger, former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan, may be able to go after Booker for spending more time on his national profile than on running the city he leads. Newark Mayor Cory Booker won the Dem. primary for the Senate seat from N.J. Many polls have him well ahead of his Republican challenger for the Oct. 16 special election. His national popularity has led some to worry if he is "famous for being famous"

Query: The first day of @placeholder's new host lineup saw the return of the cantankerous former emcee after an eight-year absence
Entities: The View, Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, MailOnline, AARP, Nicolle Wallace, Rosie, Whoopi, Rosie O'Donnell
Passage: Rosie O'Donnell returned to The View today for what is being billed as a new version of the long-running show. But apparently the cantankerous comedienne is up to her old tricks behind the scenes. Sources at The View tell MailOnline that Rosie has already become a terror, only allowing the three new executive producers and co-hosts; Whoopi Goldberg and newcomers Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace, to communicate with her and making it clear to everyone in earshot, she's literally running the show. 'She was at The View for several days last week, meeting with producers and telling them "how things are going to go". She has a definitive view of how she would like the show to go and wants everyone else to fall in line,' a show insider told MailOnline. Even before The View debuted today, Rosie O'Donnell was letting everyone know she's top dog. Whoopi's back as moderator, and all three ladies bowed to the queen at the start of the show. But behind the scenes that doesn't sit well with Rosie. Last week Whoopi told her, 'I'm moderating and that's how it's going to be, so work with me babe!' Rosie promises a lot more smart talk and a lot less squabbling. 'Based on what happened in the test show, the only company that'll be sponsoring this show after next week will be AARP,' says one insider

Passage: Professor Christian Dustmann co-authored a study which claimed that EU immigration has boosted public finances by £20billion The academic who predicted that only 13,000 Eastern Europeans would arrive in Britain each year was under fresh fire last night for his latest study which claimed that EU immigration has boosted public finances by £20billion. Ministers said the new report co-written by Professor Christian Dustmann had taken a ‘very narrow focus’ which ignored the physical pressure migrants place on schools, hospitals and roads. Yesterday, the Mail reported how Professor Dustmann and Dr Tommaso Frattini, of University College London, had produced a report heralding the ‘positive economic impact’ of new arrivals from the EU between 2001 and 2011.

Passage: (CNN) -- Be kind to fans of "The Good Wife" today. They're seriously struggling. During the course of Sunday's episode, faithful "Good Wife" viewers had to say goodbye to Josh Charles' character, Will Gardner, who was killed in a plot twist no one saw coming. Fans have taken the news so badly that showrunners Robert and Michelle King have been forced to explain why they did it. The Kings, who launched the acclaimed drama in 2009, say in an open letter addressed to their "loyal" audience that their focus has always been on "the education of" Julianna Margulies' character, Alicia Florrick, a lawyer whose life was thrown into turmoil after her husband's corruption scandal. "The Good Wife" killed off an integral character in Sunday's episode. Fans have struggled with understanding why. Showrunners Robert and Michelle King have explained it was necessary for the plot.

Passage: He is the wing wizard who combined sublime talent with incredible longevity. Sir Stanley Matthews played until he was 50 having taken care of his body in an era when science and sport never mixed. He made his debut in March 1932 for Stoke City and played his last game for them 33 years later on February 6, exactly half a century ago. In between, he forged hero status at Blackpool, winning the 1953 FA Cup in a final that became synonymous with his name. He won two Second Division titles 30 years apart, was knighted while still playing and won 54 England caps. Matthews, who died aged 85 in 2000, would have been 100 last Sunday. Sportsmail hears from a former team-mate, an adversary, a famous friend and his daughter. Sir Stanley Matthews continued playing professionally until he was 50. England winger was regarded as one of the game's greatest players. Longevity down to taking care of his body before sports science existed.

Mike Huckabee on Tuesday said he accepts "full responsibility" for granting clemency in 2000 to a man authorities say gunned down four Lakewood, Washington, police officers Sunday. Maurice Clemmons, 37, was shot and killed early Tuesday by Seattle police. He was the subject of a two-day manhunt after the four officers were killed at a coffee shop as they met before their shifts began Sunday morning. Clemmons had a criminal history in Arkansas and Washington. In May 2000, Huckabee commuted his 108-year prison sentence to make him immediately eligible for parole, which was granted by the parole board two months later. Clemmons had been sentenced to 95 years, to run after time he was already serving on previous convictions. Man accused of killing 4 Washington officers had criminal history in Arkansas, Washington. In 2000, Huckabee commuted his 108-year prison term, making him eligible for parole. Man who put suspect behind bars said Huckabee issued clemency at "an astounding rate" Huckabee: I "acted on the facts presented to me in 2000," denied 92% of clemency requests

Passage: (CNN)The Lunar New Year is the only time of year China's army of migrant workers gets to go home. Known as "chunyun," the annual travel crush is the world's largest migration of humans. The lengths workers go to to see their families during the country's biggest holiday, which this year began February 19, is one facet of migrant worker life captured by factory hand turned photographer, Zhan Youbing. For more than a decade, Zhan was himself one of China's 250-million strong "floating population" of migrant workers. Originally from the rural, inland province of Hubei, he worked as a security guard in the factories that surround the southern boom town of Guangzhou, over a thousand kilometers away. Zhan Youbing is a former factory worker, now an acclaimed photographer. Zhan uses his intimate knowledge of migrant workers to capture their lives on and off the assembly line. "I have lived this life," he says. "So I know exactly what their situations are"

Passage: (WIRED) -- With rumors piling up about a forthcoming Apple tablet, it appears more and more likely that such a device will emerge soon. This illustration imagines what an Apple tablet device might look like. But what's still unclear is how this gadget will set itself apart from Apple's multimedia-savvy product line, including the iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as the scores of failed tablet PCs that have come and gone. Judging from the company's past moves, we're betting that Apple's tablet will be a media-centric device, focused -- at least in part -- on shaking up the publishing industry. It appears more and more likely that an Apple tablet will emerge soon. iTunes could make device a potent rival to Amazon's Kindle and other e-books. Users could have the ability to download individual chapters, not entire books. An Apple tablet would have color, making it better for displaying magazine pages

Passage: Beau Biden has defended the judge who decided to let an heir to the du Pont family agree to a plea deal after being charged with sexually abusing his young daughter. Biden, the Vice President's son who is in his second term as Delaware Attorney General, wrote a letter supporting Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden and her decision to allow Robert H. Richards IV to admit to fourth degree rape and register as a sex offender but not serve any time. Her decision prompted outrage after she supported the move by writing that the heir, who just turned 48 yesterday, 'would not fare well' in prison. Delaware Attorney General Biden has written a letter supporting the judge who made a controversial call. Robert Richards, great grandson of chemical baron Irenee du Pont, was charged with fourth-degree rape of his young daughter but was spared jail. Judge Jan Jurden said that Roberts, 48, 'would not fare well' in prison. Biden has now said that she made the right decision because it would be difficult to find Roberts guilty in trial because of the 'weakness' of the case. Shocking details about the offense and an alleged assault on his infant son have emerged in a lawsuit brought about by his ex-wife Tracy. Richards is an unemployed heir living off his multi-million dollar trust fund

Entities: George W., Carter, White House, Barack Obama, CNNMoney, George W. Bush, Democrats, Obama, CNN, Democratic, Washington, Bush
Passage: Washington (CNN) -- With his presidency at a crossroads, President Barack Obama delivered his health care "fix it" message with a healthy dose of reflection and contrition: "I think I said early on when I was running, I am not a perfect man and I will not be a perfect president." CNNMoney: Obama offers fix for canceled plans At the moment, the challenge is to get back to being a productive president, and those who see a difficult path ahead include veteran Democrats the President counts among his most trusted friends and allies. "Can Obama come back?" a veteran Democratic strategist asked. "Yes. But like Carter and (George W.) Bush, his downfall is his handling of the job." Administration facing persistent questions about credibility, competence. Democratic veteran questions whether White House learns from mistakes. Obama's poll numbers at same place as George W. Bush's at this point in his presidency. Timing of crisis is key -- every day brings midterm elections closer, loyalty harder to maintain

Passage: (EW.com) -- "Going the Distance" is a light and tasty morsel of a romantic comedy in which two smart, funny, and basically sweet people try to conduct a cross-country relationship. The movie, which sounds like it was spun out of an advice column, is very high-concept, except that it has a gently authentic tone, a flavor rooted in its affection for the shrewd innocence of the 1980s. For the first 15 minutes or so, I actually wondered if it was set in the '80s. Erin (Drew Barrymore), who's 31, is finishing up her internship at a bustling newspaper, The New York Sentinel, and would do anything to land a job there. (I don't know too many 31-year-olds these days who even read newspapers, let alone dream of working at one.). "Going the Distance" is quite contemporary, but the wistful retro vibe is no accident. Barrymore and Long have the right chemistry; they act out the rhythms of companionship. The movie is free of the plot twists that drive most romantic comedies

Passage: (CNN) -- While studiously avoiding the word "torture," CIA Director John Brennan told reporters on Thursday that the aggressive interrogation program yielded information that helped the agency find Osama bin Laden. He also called the Senate Intelligence Committee's damning report on CIA abuses "flawed" by partisanship, as well as "exaggerations and misrepresentations." Brennan's comments are certain to pour oil on the already raging debate over what constitutes torture, how effective it is and who authorized what in the chaotic days and months after the 9/11 attacks. They also put the Obama administration squarely in the crossfire between Democrats defending the committee's handiwork and Republicans and former CIA chiefs trashing it.

Passage: (CNN) -- Jeremy Lin, the benchwarmer-turned-star starting point guard for the New York Knicks, has powered his team to eight victories in nine games, and captured the imagination of people around the world. Who could resist this story? It's role model, underdog and the unconventional star all rolled into one. A young kid who no one thought could make it in the NBA relentlessly pursued his dream, even if this meant sitting at the end of the bench or being relegated to the farm team. Shuffled between NBA franchises, this Harvard graduate eventually got his chance on one of the biggest stages in professional sports -- Madison Square Garden -- and shined beyond imagination. Jeremy Lin's success has been warmly embraced in China. Victor Cha says his gains aren't likely to make a difference in relations between U.S., China.

Query: @placeholder's message seems to be: If you have nuclear capabilities, it doesn't matter how outrageously you behave; it doesn't matter how horribly you mistreat your people; it doesn't matter how flimsy your economy is.
Entities: U.S., Middle East, North Korea, North Korean, Korean Peninsula, Frida Ghitis, CNN, Ghitis, Pyongyang
Passage: (CNN) -- World leaders are moving carefully and anxiously, trying to prevent a disaster in the Korean Peninsula. This increasingly unpredictable round of saber-rattling is far from over, but so far the winner is the North Korean regime and the losers are the brutally oppressed North Korean people, joined by much of the rest of the world. While we watch the drama from far away, it's worth noting just how far North Korean weapons programs -- not just the weapons themselves -- can reach. U.S. intelligence officials differ on their estimates of the range and accuracy of North Korean missiles, nuclear-tipped or not. But the country's nuclear and missile technology has already found its way to the Middle East. Frida Ghitis: North Korean weapons programs have spread to the Middle East. Ghitis: North Korea's messages encourage tyrants to seek nuclear weapons. She says with nuclear arsenal, powerful countries are afraid to make a regime angry. Ghitis: This standoff is not over, but Pyongyang has already won

Query: Running riot: @placeholder scored four goals in six first-half minutes during Tuesday's semi-final against Brazil
Entities: Boyce, Press Association Sport, Germany, England, World Cup, Jim Boyce, UEFA, German, Brazil, Mesut Ozil, European, European Championship, Britain, FIFA
Passage: England should try and follow Germany's example in producing youth teams who can develop together and form the core of the senior national side, according to Britain's FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce. Many of the Germany team who have reached Sunday's World Cup final via their 7-1 humbling of hosts Brazil were also in the under-21 team who trounced England 4-0 in the final of the 2009 European under-21 championships. Boyce, who is also head of UEFA's youth committee, told Press Association Sport: 'The Brazil v Germany semi-final was astounding, the performance of the German team was something else. Fast foward: Mesut Ozil (right) was part of the German team who won the Under 21 championship in 2009. Several of the Germany's current squad were part of the team that beat England in the under-21 European Championship final in 2009. Boyce says Germany are reaping rewards of long-term planning. FIFA vice-president says this has been best ever World Cup

Passage: LAGOS, Nigeria (CNN) -- More than 200 people have died of meningitis in the past week alone in Niger and Nigeria, according to the World Health Organization. A health care worker vaccinates a child during an earlier outbreak of meningitis in Niger. The disease is an epidemic in 76 areas of the two countries, the health agency reported Wednesday. A spokesman for W.H.O. in Nigeria, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka, said Saturday that the outbreak is bigger than usual and stretches across the African meningitis belt from east- to west-sub-Saharan Africa. The outbreak began around the start of the year, Soyinka told CNN. It usually peaks in the dry season because of dust, winds and cold nights, before dipping around May when the rains come, he said. W.H.O. : Meningitis killed more than 200 people in the past week in Niger and Nigeria. Outbreak stretches across African "meningitis belt," at epidemic levels in 76 areas. Vaccine shortage forces an "effective prevention" approach. 25,000 suspected cases, 1,500 deaths in the belt in the first 11 weeks of 2009

Passage: There was shock and disappointment in the west of Scotland this week when an absentee landlord told two employees that, after decades of service, they won’t be needed on his farm after Christmas. From the employees’ point of view this is obviously upsetting. But when the landlord is Paul McCartney and the farm is on the Mull of Kintyre, a remote part of Britain he once loved as a family hideaway and then made famous musically in one of his biggest hits, people around the world take notice — and wonder why this might be happening. In one of the shots taken at the farm McCartney bought at the height of the Beatles fame, Linda is pregnant with daughter Stella. High Park Farm was the first home of Paul and Linda McCartney. Staff have been told services are not required after Christmas at the farm. Visits to Mull of Kintyre became fewer after Linda died in 1998

Query: There is growing concern among @placeholder using surrogates overseas about uncertain changes to commercial surrogacy laws, Ms Kunde said.
Entities: West Australian, Kunde, Surrogacy Australia, Australians, Thai, Julie Bishop, Bangkok IVF, Thailand, Gammy, Rachel Kunde, Australian
Passage: Surrogacy Australia says it knows of up to 200 would-be Australian parents caught in Thailand's planned crackdown on commercial surrogacy, but the number may be higher. Spokeswoman Rachel Kunde said the organisation could only estimate the total amount because some were outside its network, including the West Australian couple at the centre of an international surrogacy drama. Ms Kunde said the couple, who are accused of leaving their baby daughter's twin brother Gammy, who has Down syndrome, in Thailand with the surrogate mother, did not use Surrogacy Australia's services. "They didn't go through our organisation so that is an example of the people that aren't getting advice from us and going overseas," she said. Surrogacy Australia estimates 200 Australians involved in Thai surrogacy. Julie Bishop has called on Thai government to allow a transition period before banning commercial surrogacy. About 50 Australians affected by Bangkok IVF clinic shut down in wake of Gammy controversy. Investigation underway into what happened to the couples' frozen embyros. Thai authorities suspect links to international baby trafficking organisation. Estimated 70 per cent of Australian couples seek surrogacy from the clinic
