Sisters Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo were each cleared of fraud Friday by the jury in the London court that heard the case. Francesca Grillo had been accused of defrauding Lawson and her ex-husband Charles Saatchi of 580,000 pounds ($950,000), and Elisabetta Grillo of defrauding them of 105,000 pounds ($172,000). Both had denied the charges. The case has gripped UK media, thanks to revelations of drug use by Lawson and insights into her troubled marriage to Saatchi, a millionaire art collector.

At least 1,000 killed in @placeholder this month, official says | Scores of people were killed and at least 123 others were wounded Wednesday in shootings and explosions across Iraq, senior Interior Ministry officials said. Five bombings in the Iraqi capital were responsible for dozens of the casualties, Baghdad police officials said. Three of the Baghdad bombings happened in the morning, killing at least 25 people near checkpoints for entry into the city's International Zone, a heavily fortified area that houses Iraqi government offices and the U.S. and British embassies. In the deadliest blast, a suicide bomber targeted a security checkpoint near the International Zone, Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Saad Maan Ibrahim said. Police officials said the bomber struck a restaurant that is frequented by Iraqis going into the International Zone, which is also called the Green Zone.

He spoke as a YouGov poll yesterday showed support for the Lib Dems is at a feeble 9 per cent ahead of the European elections on May 22 – meaning the party could lose all 11 of its MEPs.

One reason @placeholder's race speech was so remarkable is that he did not sugarcoat the evils of racism, nor has he allowed it to poison his view of the greatness of America. | (CNN)Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has generated a firestorm by asserting, at a fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov.

Barack Obama's deep and true love for our country has been a hallmark of his career. "In no other country on Earth," he said when he was seeking the presidency, "is my story even possible." Obama said this, it should be noted, in his masterly speech on race -- an issue that is America's most difficult and tortured.

One of the magazines caught the eye of Hearst, but instead of a new title, they asked her to revive @placeholder, according to the company. | New York (CNN) -- Helen Gurley Brown, who created the idea of a modern woman with her book "Sex and the Single Girl" and was editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine for three decades, has died at age 90, the Hearst Corporation said Monday. Gurley Brown died Monday morning at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia after a brief hospitalization, the publisher said. "Helen was one of the world's most recognized magazine editors and book authors, and a true pioneer for women in journalism -- and beyond," Hearst Chief Executive Frank Bennack said. It was Gurley Brown who invented today's notion of a modern woman -- one who could have both a successful career and an exciting, satisfying sex life, said Bonnie Fuller, the influential magazine editor who took over at Cosmopolitan when Gurley Brown stepped down in 1997.

Holder's approved the @placeholder search in the spring of 2010 after senior Justice Department officials concluded there was ‘probable cause’ that his communications with Kim met the legal burden for such searches. | Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the controversial search warrant that identified Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen as a ‘possible co-conspirator’ in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, an unnamed law enforcement official has claimed. Rosen, who has not been charged in the case, was the target of a search warrant that enabled Justice Department investigators to secretly seize his private emails after an FBI agent said he had ‘asked, solicited and encouraged … (a source) to disclose sensitive United States internal documents and intelligence information.’ The reporter's emails were seized, with a judge's approval, as part of the prosecution of Stephen Kim, a State Department adviser who is accused of leaking secret information about North Korea.

Like gangs, the factions often control different regions of @placeholder that are usually off-limits to rivals. | Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- At least 30 people were killed in Karachi on Monday night and Tuesday, the latest deaths in cycle of ethnic and political violence in Pakistan's commercial capital. On Sunday, 60 motorcycles and five vehicles were burned in the city, said Murtaza Ali, a Karachi police official. The violence has killed more than 1,000 people this year, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. Nearly 200 people were slain in July alone. The rampant violence appears to have little to do with the Taliban and other Islamist extremist groups that are viewed by western leaders as Pakistan's most pressing security problem.

Liverpool's best chance in the first half came when Raheem Sterling hit the @placeholder post with a curling effort | Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers heaped praise on Philippe Coutinho following his side's 2-1 FA Cup victory against Bolton by insisting the Brazilian playmaker has the potential to follow in the same footsteps as Luis Suarez.

Coutinho's strike was certainly fit to win the game and was an appropriate way to mark the signing of his new contract, which keeps him at Anfield until 2020.

Too many guns. Not enough guns. Powerful lobbyists. Insufficient mental health services. Discussion of possible explanations is often neither civil nor constructive, and based on a closed-minded and entrenched belief that those who disagree with us have their facts wrong. The victims in Sandy Hook, Aurora and Fort Hood -- all killed or wounded by gun violence -- deserve better. There are two major ways we can zero in on facts and foster a more informed discussion. The first is to further develop and meaningfully consider high quality scientific research on violence prevention and mental health. The second is to create more opportunities for public policy discussions that incorporate this research.
