"Even though I will be discharged no one can take the title of @placeholder away from me. | Washington (CNN) -- A Marine who used his Facebook page to criticize President Barack Obama has been discharged, a Marine Corps spokesman said Wednesday. Sgt. Gary Stein was given an "other-than-honorable" discharge, said Capt. Brian Block, a spokesman for the Marines. Among other comments posted to his Facebook page, Stein called Obama a liar and suggested he would not follow some orders issued by the president. An other-than-honorable discharge is given to a Marine who commits a "serious offense" that significantly differs from conduct expected of a Marine, the Corps said. A statement from the Marines said it approved the findings of a military board, which in March recommended the discharge.

The virulent virus continues to advance from its epicenter in Sierra Leone to nearby Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.

Despite the opportunity @placeholder offers, Clinton said, she would "not sugarcoat" the difficulties posed by the current working environment in Iraq. | Washington (CNN) -- Iraq is open for business, and American companies should make an effort to invest there, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday. "President Obama and I and our government believe strongly that expanding economic opportunity is as essential as building democratic institutions," Clinton said while surrounded by executives from companies as far-ranging as Occidental Petroleum, JP Morgan Chase, General Electric, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin, in a round-table discussion aimed at getting companies focused on commercial opportunities in Iraq despite its current "tough environment." The meeting comes as the United States transitions from a military-led to a civilian-led partnership with the Iraqi government by the end of the year. The State Department is leading an inter-agency effort to support American companies in their efforts to secure commercial opportunities in Iraq.

Teargas: Opposition parties and millions who speak @placeholder as their first language see the bill as a threat to sovereignty | By Matt Blake PUBLISHED: 11:50 EST, 4 July 2012 | UPDATED: 01:47 EST, 5 July 2012 Boxing world champion Vitali Klitschko was injured today in violent clashes with police after Ukraine's government voted to make Russian an official language instead of his home tongue. The Ukrainian prizefighter-turned-politician had to be treated after he was sprayed in the eyes with teargas and suffered a gash to his left arm in the unrest. The WBC Heavyweight Champion was among rioters angry at the Ukranian government's decision to make Russian, rather than Ukrainian, the main language in schools and local government in some parts of the former Soviet republic.

Coming to get you: @placeholder goes charging after the ball in the incident that hurt City's star striker | Sergio Aguero's return to full fitness looked to have suffered a setback on Thursday when he stayed down following an Aleksandar Kolarov tackle during a Manchester City training session. The Argentinean striker has only started 73 games in three years at City, after suffering injuries in every season he has been at the club. He appeared to be getting back to full fitness with two goals in the first two games of this campaign, so boss Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping the knock turns out be nothing serious.

"The route of the vessel appears to have been too close to the shore, and the captain's judgment in handling the emergency appears to have not followed standard @placeholder procedures," the statement added. | Rome (CNN) -- Transcripts published Tuesday capture the dramatic conversations between port officials and a cruise ship captain, who a judge ruled can be held under house arrest while Italian authorities investigate his role in last week's disaster. A judge ruled that Francesco Schettino must remain in custody pending a later decision on whether to release him while authorities investigate the running aground of the Costa Concordia on Italy's Tuscan coast. But the judge said Schettino can be held on house arrest rather than in jail pending that decision, said his attorney, Bruno Leporatti. The captain has promised to cooperate with authorities, the lawyer said.

@placeholder (left) scored City's second in their 2-0 win against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico | Manchester City showed their eagle-eyed ambition on Wednesday night by progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League and Manuel Pellegrini's side were all smiles as they trained in Rome on Thursday ahead of their flight back to England. Goals from Samir Nasri and Pablo Zabaleta saw the Premier League champions seal a 2-0 win away at Roma - a result that saw them qualify as Group E runners-up at the expense of their opponents. The importance of the Stadio Olimpico scoreline means City will now enter the knockout stages of the Europe's elite competition for only the second time in their history; a feat that they were clearly proud of as they trained at Lazio's Formello facilities - the base of Roma's arch-rivals.

Oops: It looks as if @placeholder knows exactly what he has done wrong as he prepares to appeal to the referee | Diego Costa was lucky not to be seriously injured in Chelsea's latest pre season outing, just managing to get out of the way of a terrible two-footed tackle from Fenerbahce defender Bruno Alves. It might have been a friendly but the uncompromising Portuguese centre back seemed to be taking it seriously - diving in for a dangerous challenge on Chelsea's £32million forward. Combative Costa was right in the 32-year-old's face immediately after to let him know what he thought of the foul, but the guilty party was let off by the referee with just a yellow card.

Jean Claude Juncker, a long-time president of the European Council, painted an ominous portrait of Europe, claiming there ‘chilling’ parallels in 2013 with 100 years ago – the eve of the First World War.
