Tottenham legend and current @placeholder manager Klinsmann watched Sunday's clash at White Hart Lane | Jurgen Klinsmann doesn’t give the impression of a man with a burning desire to abandon all the good things he has going on for a shot at solving the perennial puzzle that is Tottenham Hotspur. Why should he? Klinsmann popped into White Hart Lane on Sunday to see Stoke beat Spurs and witnessed the fourth home defeat for Mauricio Pochettino’s team in this Barclays Premier League campaign and the reaction that went with it. If anything it must have reinforced his belief that he is in a job he adores, where he is appreciated for his efforts building the USA into a world force, and where the sun shines for up to 340 days a year.

@michael_lobster tweeted, "I really hope that this is the plot of the new @placeholder movie." | (CNN) -- Two very different images captivated Internet viewers on Wednesday. First, a YouTube video of an eagle snatching up a toddler captivated millions of viewers, some of whom may not have immediately realized it was fake. Uploaded on Tuesday, the clip shows a golden eagle swooping out of the sky to grab an infant in its talons, then dropping the child seconds later. Despite broad and immediate skepticism of its authenticity, it had more than 5 million views by Wednesday evening. The Canadian digital-media school where the video was created issued a statement Wednesday afternoon clarifying the clip as a hoax and naming the students involved. However the school, Centre NAD, was unapologetic about its prank, even pointing viewers to another hoax video, created by students, of an unlikely penguin escape. (The penguin video had a paltry 37,000 views.)

Not for Harrods this time," @placeholder told the paper. | London, England (CNN) -- Mohamed al Fayed, whose son died in the car crash that killed Princess Diana, has sold the iconic British department store Harrods, the advisers to the sale announced Saturday. Al Fayed, who has been chairman of the store for 25 years, has decided to retire and spend more time with his children and grandchildren, said Ken Costa, chairman of Lazard International. Al Fayed sold Harrods to Qatar Holding, which will become only the fifth owner of the store since it was created in 1849, Costa said. "In reaching the decision to retire, he wished to ensure that the legacy and traditions that he has built up in Harrods would be continued, and that the team that he has built up would be encouraged to develop the foundations that he has laid." Costa said in a statement. "Qatar Holding was specifically chosen by the (al Fayed family) as they had both the vision and financial capacity to support the long-term successful growth of Harrods."

The @placeholder is aware of the report, according to a spokesman for the agency who would not say whether WFP was in touch with al-Shabaab. | (CNN) -- Islamist militants in Somalia have warned a United Nations agency to buy food from Somali farmers or stop sending aid to the impoverished African country. "WFP [World Food Programme] causes many problems for the local Somali farmers by importing food from outside Somalia and that discourages the Somali farmers," al-Shabaab said in a statement. "So the WFP should buy its supposed food distribution from Somali farmers or stop its operations in Somalia." The militia also warned local Somali contractors who help distribute WFP food aid to stop helping the U.N. agency by January 1. The warning could be a desperate measure by al-Shabaab, which is reportedly facing financial difficulties following the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces last year. The Ethiopian invasion of Somalia had outraged many members of the Somali diaspora who had sent money to al-Shabaab, which had vowed to kick out the invading forces.

The theory behind space planes is they would be able to take off from a runway, rocket into low orbit, and then fly to a landing on a runway.

There is a difference between using Facebook and loving @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Facebook seems to be taking a beating these days. But guess what? That's actually good news. The world's most famous social media company's plummeting share price (from $38 on its first trading day to $19 today) is an indicator that we are not in a bubble, as investors refuse to buy into the temptation to blow tech offerings out of proportion. You know you are in a bubble when stocks soar regardless of intrinsic quality. Far from it, the current market is one of Dickensian realism: the best of times and the worst of times. Apple's value has soared because it has a clear and wildly profitable strategy. Facebook, Groupon and Zynga sank because their strategies are unconvincing. Put another way, companies with solid revenue models are richly rewarded while companies foolish enough to go public before proving their model are punished.

"We think we're ready for anything," said @placeholder, who ordered patrol officers to use their cruisers' loudspeakers to encourage elderly or homebound residents to go somewhere warm and safe and advised residents to check on neighbors. | New York (CNN) -- Residents of the northeastern United States, still reeling from the havoc Sandy wreaked October 29 on the region, learned Wednesday that the same holds true for snow and wind, which buffeted the coast in the form of a nor'easter. More than 600,000 households who have been without power since October 29 hunkered down for a long, cold night. "While this storm is not as dangerous as Sandy was, New Yorkers should still take safety precautions today and tonight," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters Wednesday. By 10 p.m., some four inches of snow had fallen on Staten Island, the borough of New York that was hard hit by Sandy. Parts of Connecticut saw more than eight inches.

There had been a few bumps in the road, to be sure, but they said that was normal for a baby born with a severe heart defect. Months passed. Waylon remained in the intensive care unit. More complications arose. "Is everything OK?" the Raineys would ask. Yes, the doctors and nurses assured them. Everything was fine. Then one day, Tabitha Rainey says a cardiologist took her aside. "She said, 'If I were you, I would move him,' " Rainey remembers. "She told me we should take him somewhere else.'"

Iniesta, clubmates Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Buesquets plus Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso were included in a nine-strong midfield contingent, while David Silva and Cesc Fabregas were named among five forwards despite playing in Spain's so-called "no striker" formation.
