@placeholder conducted a nuclear test in May, fired test rockets and threatened U.S. and South Korean ships near its territorial waters. | SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea fired several short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan on Saturday, an act that the U.S. watched closely and South Korea called provocative. N. Korean army soldiers, back, look at a S. Korean soldier, center, in the demilitarized zone in June. Pyongyang fired six short-range missiles in less than seven hours, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said. The missiles were apparently Scud-type, estimated to have a range of about 500 kilometers (310 miles), according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency. South Korean intelligence estimates that North Korea has about 700 such missiles in its arsenal.

But Russian President Vladimir Putin so far appears unfazed by the pressure. By Russia's account, its soldiers are protecting the human rights of worried, vulnerable Russian speakers. But in the U.S. view, Russia is violating international law. Caught in the middle is Ukraine's shaky new government.

The middle of Mr Abbott's three daughters, Frances, who works as an assistant buyer for the children's department in Myer, revealed the moment she got the @placeholder tattoo. | Last month she flashed an italic A for Abbott tattoo on her back and it seems there are more hidden adornments on the Prime Minister's daughter's body. Frances Abbott has cheekily admitting to having more than just one inking on her body telling Daily Mail Australia: 'I might [have more tattoos] but you won't be seeing them.' Speaking at the Myer Autumn/Winter show in Melbourne on Thursday, the fashion graduate defended her father Tony - who faced rebel backbenchers' bid to call a leadership spill - adding: 'Of course it affects you but he's still doing a great job, which is that of our father.'

"If it's good enough for @placeholder, why shouldn't it be good enough for individuals who don't have health insurance provided by their employers?" | (CNN) -- The new president of the American Medical Association, which represents the interests of the nation's doctors, said Wednesday the group is open to a government-funded health insurance option for people without coverage. Dr. Rohack called 2009 "the year we need to have affordable health insurance coverage for all Americans." Dr. J. James Rohack told CNN the AMA supports an "American model" that includes both "a private system and a public system, working together." In May, the AMA told a Senate committee it did not support a government-sponsored public health insurance option. "The AMA does not believe that creating a public health insurance option ... is the best way to expand health insurance coverage and lower costs across the health care system," the organization wrote, explaining that a public insurance plan could lead to "an explosion of costs that would need to be absorbed by taxpayers."

That's right -- an anti-fracking movie was subsidized by the oil-rich @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Imagine a place where police use online dating services to entrap and arrest gay men. Or a country that arrests a 14-year-old girl for adultery and then performs an invasive "virginity test" on her. Or where a woman is sentenced to death by stoning for adultery. Hollywood celebrities are rightly outraged to discover that places like this exist, and they're showing it by boycotting the Beverly Hills Hotel, owned by an investment group of the Sultan of Brunei's, to protest his country's new Sharia laws against homosexuality and adultery. Brunei is merely a newcomer on the scene. It joins 81 other countries where homosexuality is illegal. And, sadly, it's hardly the only place in the world where adultery is punishable by death.

Because of my last 10 years and Chelsea’s last 10 years I understand why you always put the level high for myself and @placeholder. | Jose Mourinho took a thinly veiled swipe at two of his biggest title rivals — Manchester City and Arsenal — ahead of the first day of the Barclays Premier League season. The Chelsea manager failed to win any trophies in his first season back at the club last year, while Arsene Wenger ended nine years without silverware at Arsenal by winning the FA Cup. When asked if he felt under pressure to deliver, Mourinho replied: ‘Why? Some managers have 10 years to win something.’ City’s Manuel Pellegrini won the Premier League and League Cup double last year with a squad inherited from Roberto Mancini. Under the Italian they won the title, the FA Cup and the Community Shield. Mourinho added: ‘I don’t like to get clubs developed by other managers before me, I don’t like to arrive on time to collect the fruit off their trees. I like to work. I like to build. I don’t like easy jobs.’

Bachus declined to talk to @placeholder, but his office provided a statement that said the representative never trades on non-public information, or financial services stock. | (CNN) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi fired back Sunday at a CBS News' "60 Minutes" report that highlighted several instances of what it suggested could be "soft corruption." The show looked at the investments of various lawmakers -- including Pelosi, House Speaker John Boehner and Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama -- who reportedly bought stocks around the same time legislation involving those investments was being discussed. Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, according to CBS. They bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44; two days later, shares were trading at $64, CBS said.

Rose held his nerve at the end of a day that fluctuated wildly, as crowd favorite @placeholder desperately tried to nail down victory in a tournament he had finished runner up in five times. | (CNN) -- As Justin Rose emerged onto the 18th fairway and saw his ball just yards from the spot where Ben Hogan fired his famous one iron to the green in 1950, he knew it was his moment to seize the U.S. Open crown. The 32-year-old knew if he could repeat Hogan's par on the notoriously tricky 18th hole at Merion in Pennsylvania he could end England's 43-year wait for a champion in America's national championship. With thoughts of his late father Ken swirling round his mind, Rose struck a near-perfect approach shot and duly completed par. When Phil Mickelson failed to birdie the same hole moments later, Rose had sealed his first major triumph.

In a statement announcing the lawsuit filed Thursday, King said, "Some will, no doubt, sound the alarm that the lawsuit is premature. As Alabama's lawyer, I say that if, anything, based on BP's broken promises, their history of saying one thing and doing another, and now, new information that they have been secretly working to gain a legal advantage, further delay can only further damage our people."
