The colt, which brought in $3.5 million this year, ran his third @placeholder race in five weeks. | (CNN) -- It's going to take two to three weeks for thoroughbred California Chrome to heal from a nasty injury to his hoof, his trainer Art Sherman said Sunday. "He's got a lot of talent," Sherman said of the colt that was the favorite for the Belmont Stakes but was denied his shot at becoming the first Triple Crown in 36 years. Tonalist was victorious Saturday at the storied race in Elmont, New York. California Chrome finished in a dead heat for fourth with Wicked Strong. Sherman said the colt's injury occurred during "the first jump." "He just needs a little time off," Sherman said, explaining that the injury is "superficial" and not "deep." Sherman assured that California Chrome will not be in any pain as his injury is treated in part with a special bandage, and his recuperation will involve some "pasture time."

Tragedy: Courageous cancer patient, Jorie Rogers, pictured left with son Tristan, died on @placeholder | By Emily Davies and Helen Pow PUBLISHED: 08:39 EST, 13 May 2013 | UPDATED: 15:48 EST, 13 May 2013 All Jorie Rogers asked was to live long enough to see her son's first birthday in March.

"We believe this is very just," Calderon said, according to an interpreter, adding: "Thank you for the valor and courage that you had in implementing this action. I'm sure many, many families in the United States thank you as well." Obama made no new comment on the election-year policy change announced Friday that prompted immediate praise from Latino leaders who have criticized Congress and the White House for inaction on immigration reform.

In 2010, the lawmaker behind it said the bill is necessary in the conservative east @placeholder nation. | (CNN) -- A Ugandan lawmaker has revived a controversial bill that makes engaging in some homosexual acts punishable by death, a rights group said, a proposal that provoked an international outcry three years ago. The anti-homosexuality bill was first proposed in October 2009, prompting threats from some European nations to cut aid to Uganda, which relies on millions of dollars from foreign countries. It was later shelved, with a Ugandan government spokesman saying late last year that the bill was killed because it did not reflect a national consensus. "It's alarming and disappointing that Uganda's Parliament will once again consider the anti-homosexuality bill," said Michelle Kagari, the deputy Africa program director at Amnesty International. "If passed, it would represent a grave assault on the human rights of all Ugandans, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity."

Since then he's been out of his depth, yet still Allardyce's love for Nolan burns strong.

What's happening near these isolated @placeholder islands is more of a sea-land hybrid. | (CNN) -- Japan is getting bigger and bigger and bigger -- one volcanic blast at a time. The growth so far -- compared to the size of the Asian nation's main Honshu island or the vast continent of Asia -- is minuscule, about 200 meters (650 feet) long by about 50 meters wide. That's small enough that, if the volcanic activity stops, the newly created island could wash back into the sea in months. But if it keeps going, it could enlarge even more and stick around for the long haul, expanding Japan's footprint in the process. "A lot of it depends on how fast it erodes," said Ken Rubin, a University of Hawaii at Manoa professor and expert in deep submarine volcanism. "Until it shuts off, it's too soon to tell."

"Despite four seasons of unprecedented programming success and profitability for defendants, @placeholder has not received and may never receive one dollar in profits for developing the series," the suit said. | Los Angeles (CNN) -- The creator of the "Walking Dead" television series accuses AMC of cheating him out of millions of dollars in profits from the zombie hit. AMC, which produces the series, allegedly charged its own cable network an "artificially low" license fee to carry the show, according to a lawsuit filed by Frank Darabont Tuesday. "The sole goal of this sham transaction is to enhance the profits of the parent company by minimizing the revenues that go into the 'pool' of funds for the show's profit participants," the complaint said. Frank Darabont worked for years to develop the television series from Robert Kirkman's comic book series, the lawsuit said. It became a "monumental hit" for AMC when it debuted in 2010, it said.

Castillo said gangs would often kill people in Michoacan and take their bodies to @placeholder for burial in clandestine graves, though he did not say whether the vigilantes had been involved in those killings. | By Associated Press Authorities have arrested another leader of the vigilante 'self-defense' forces in western Mexico and accused him of participating in the killing of a rival mayor, the second such arrest in less than a month. The arrests come amid a broadening government crackdown on the vigilantes, who took up arms a year ago to fight the Knights Templar drug cartel. The groups became popular in many towns because they were able to kick out the cartel, whose gunmen had demanded extortion payments from local residents, farmers and businesses. But the vigilantes have brought their own form of lawlessness to largely agricultural Michoacan state, with rivalries, alleged thefts and possible links to a rival drug gang based in the neighboring state of Jalisco.

Full statement from @placeholder on Osama bin Laden's death | (CNN) -- Al Qaeda released a statement on jihadist forums Friday confirming the death of its leader, Osama bin Laden, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors Islamist websites. The development comes days after U.S. troops killed bin Laden in a raid on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad. The statement, translated by SITE, lauded the late militant, threatened to take action against the United States, and urged Pakistanis to "rise up and revolt." Bin Laden's death will serve as a "curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries," the message said.

Even as the population becomes more diverse, schools are becoming more racially divided, reflecting @placeholder housing patterns. | By Associated Press For the first time, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children partially due to workers migrating from Mexico and other countries to work on mushroom farms. The changing demographics of American education are apparent inside Jane Cornell's summer school classroom, where giggling grade-schoolers mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language. The sign outside the classroom reads 'Welcome' and 'Bienvenidos' in polished handwriting. Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But according to the National Center for Education Statistics, minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

He described @placeholder, a former communist, as a "revised apparatchik," saying the reform-minded socialist was paradoxically "far more of a free marketeer than even people on the right." | (CNN) -- Italy's parliamentary elections kick off Sunday, with polls suggesting the center-left -- led by Pier Luigi Bersani -- is on track to defeat controversial three-time prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. But Berlusconi's rise in the polls in recent weeks, combined with widespread public disillusionment, means that nothing about the race is a foregone conclusion. Who are the candidates? The two-day election is a four-horse race between political coalitions led by Bersani, Berlusconi, outgoing premier Mario Monti, and the anti-establishment movement led by ex-comedian Beppe Grillo. Polls are banned within two weeks of the elections, but the most recent ones had Bersani holding onto a slender lead over Berlusconi. Grillo was a distant third.
