The @placeholder said it plans to implement a number of GAO's recommendations. | Washington (CNN) -- A new report by the Government Accountability Office says behavior detection techniques failed to lead authorities to at least 16 alleged terrorists who traveled through U.S. airports. The Transportation Security Administration's program to use special officers to spot suspicious behavior began in 2003, but the GAO questions the scientific basis and effectiveness of the techniques. The unclassified version of the report released Thursday did not name the suspected terrorists who the GAO says were able to pass 23 times through airports where behavior detection officers work. But officials involved in crafting the report said the cases included that of Najibullah Zazi, a Denver shuttle driver who authorities said plotted to set off bombs in New York City's subway system. Zazi pleaded guilty to providing material support to al Qaeda.

Launched just over a year ago, the growing website features a mix of new and used fashion items -- from custom-made pieces by young designers and boutique stores to well-preserved clothes from women looking to de-clutter their closets. "We simply merged the idea to sell affordable fashion to people who just didn't want to pay too much," says Kanyua. "And also give people an opportunity to sell off clothes they don't want anymore in their closet but are still in good condition -- and you can be able to get extra cash," she adds.

Mr Salmond laid down the challenge after it emerged the Prime Minister did not interrupt his summer holiday in Cornwall to watch last night’s live TV debate on Scottish independence.

"I feel extorted," John Hofmeister told CNN's Drew Griffin. "Every time I wrote a check I felt that it was a form of extortion, the price of entry, because of the reception that you got when you contributed versus the reception when you did not contribute." Hofmeister, who ran Shell Oil USA from 2005 through 2008, said he was constantly being asked for political donations, by members of both parties. It's against Shell Oil policy, he said, for corporate contributions to be made. So any donations came out of his own pocket -- something, he said, he felt forced to do.

Naismith celebrates scoring for Everton as Roberto Martinez's side aimed for a @placeholder win | It is a fact that illustrates just how difficult the predicament is becoming for Roberto Martinez: in 2015, Bradford City have beaten more top flight teams than Everton. Such a swaggering and creative force 12 months ago, this campaign has become one long episode of domestic disappointment and, on one of those unforgiving, slate-grey Merseyside afternoons, the woes failed to relent against Leicester City. Everton somehow scrambled a 2-2 draw against the Barclays Premier League’s basement team but on a day when they handed out Blue Noses to fans to mark the 27th anniversary of Everton in the Community, the club charity, Martinez and Company might have been left with red faces.

@placeholder calls Clinton's memorial remarks "the finest speech" he ever gave. | (CNN) -- President Obama on Wednesday will assume the delicate role of comforting a nation still in shock in the aftermath of the Arizona shootings while also transcending the tragedy to move a grieving nation forward. As difficult and unique as the task may be, Obama needs to look no further than his role model Ronald Reagan and his Democratic predecessor Bill Clinton for a lesson in how to console the country. Both presidents were praised for the leadership they showed in the aftermath of two domestic disasters -- the Challenger explosion in 1986 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

Early analysis of information held by @placeholder suggests this could be introduced with little or no impact on road safety.’ | By Stephen Adams Pensioners should be allowed to continue driving until they are 80 before having to renew their licences, according to a review by transport officials. They are urging ministers to relax the current mandatory renewal age of 70 to save money and make the Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) more efficient. But safety campaigners warn the move could cost lives and insisted regulations for older drivers should be strengthened, not relaxed. The DVLA is groaning under the weight of renewal applications from pensioners who still want to drive in their 70s, according to the review by the Department for Transport (DfT) said. It argues for the age limit to be raised ‘to reduce the burden of regulation.’

But there is now a good chance the four-time grand slam winner will play into her 30s before fully turning her attention to her numerous business interests. "I think she's going to play another four to five years and through the Rio Olympics (in 2016) if she stays healthy and hungry," her long-time agent and close friend Max Eisenbud told CNN's Open Court.

Customers thought they were getting a bargain price at £90 a session but in reality Jamie Winter was using cheap Botox that she had bought on the internet. To reassure some she showed them a certificate which they believed proved her credentials. Hull Crown Court heard the cosmetic fillers industry is still unregulated and Winter was not breaking the law by giving the injections – her offence was fraud for misleading her clients that she was qualified to do so.

And neither should @placeholder's most important race-based program to remedy these conditions. | (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is probably the most pro-woman president in U.S. history, but his signature racial justice program, the My Brother's Keeper initiative, is for males only. That's wrong and needs to change. The President should follow the advice of more than 1,000 women of color who, this week, wrote a letter to urge him to include the sisters as well as the brothers. The women include civil rights icons Anita Hill and Angela Davis, movie stars Rosario Dawson and Rosie Perez, and writers Alice Walker and Sapphire. The signers also include schoolgirls, working-class women and, I'm proud to say, my 70-year-old mother, a retired schoolteacher, and my sister, a stay-at-home mom of two teenage boys.
