The people's favorite: American Sniper recently won an overwhelming majority to win the @placeholder | American Sniper has shattered box office records and expectations - raking in more than $110 million in four weeks - but that success is going to affect the murder trial of Chris Kyle's accused killer, according to attorneys in the case. Former Marine Eddie Ray Routh will face court on February 11, two years after he allegedly shot Kyle dead at a Texas firing range as he battled Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Routh is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. While the shooting of Kyle does not feature in American Sniper, with the war drama coming to a close with footage of his funeral, Routh's attorneys the scope of the film - from the amount of people seeing it in cinemas, to the press it is receiving and Oscar nominations - will affect the outcome of the jury.

@placeholder did have the power to change the result of the match, although that was always unlikely. | NYON, Switzerland -- Celtic have been fined $50,800 by UEFA and AC Milan's Dida has been banned for two matches after the incident which saw a pitch-invading supporter approach the Brazilian goalkeeper in last week's Champions League match at Celtic Park. Dida's theatrical over-reaction has resulted in UEFA suspending him for two matches. The incident occurred when the Scottish side beat Milan 2-1 in Glasgow. A fan ran onto the field in the 90th minute, soon after the home side scored their winning goal, and made what appeared to be minimal contact with Dida. The Milan goalkeeper turned to chase the supporter before dropping to the ground. He was carried off the field on a stretcher and replaced.

On the course where he started playing golf aged eight, Molinari carded a flawless six-under-par 66 at Circolo Golf Torino to share the lead with Austria's Bernd Wiesberger. And that meant Gallacher, who needs to finish in the top two to overtake Graeme McDowell and claim the final automatic qualifying place, found himself six shots off the pace following an erratic opening 72.

The pause in decades of espionage, which remains partially in effect, was designed to give CIA officers time to examine whether they were being careful enough and to evaluate whether spying on allies is worth running the risk of discovery, said a U.S. official who has been briefed on the situation. Under the stand-down order, case officers in Europe largely have been forbidden from undertaking 'unilateral operations' such as meeting with sources they have recruited within allied governments. Such clandestine meetings are the bedrock of spying.

God's work: @placeholder's estimated completion date will make it | By Daily Mail Reporter Barcelona's world famous Sagrada Família will finally be finished by 2026, the architect in charge has vowed... nearly 150 years after work began. That will make it ready in time for the centenary of the death of architect Antoni Gaudí, who famously joked that his client, God, was in no hurry to see it finished. Since then 65 per cent of the work has been completed and now, with new masonry techniques speeding up the work, builders say the Almighty will only have to wait another 13 years to see its final spires and main façade.

Lee Clark did not enjoy a positive result in his first match as @placeholder manager - they lost 2-0 to Ipswich | Derby slipped down the Championship table after losing 2-1 at Brentford, with Chris Martin opening the scoring for the Rams, only for Andre Gray to equalise and then Stuart Dallas to strike deep into stoppage time. Gary Rowett began his reign as Birmingham boss with a goalless Midlands derby draw at Wolves earlier in the day and that result allowed Middlesbrough to move above Wanderers with a 3-0 romp at Rotherham. Patrick Bamford and Yanic Wildschut put Boro in control before the Millers had Jordan Bowery sent off and Lee Tomlin added insult to injury late on. Brentford surprised Derby with a late 2-1 that ensured the Rams' slipped to fourth in the Championship

@placeholder has an odd, three-round voting system, so Egyptians won't know the official outcome until January. | (CNN) -- After 60 years of waiting, Egyptians may very well find themselves with a strong, assertive Parliament. On Monday and Tuesday, millions of Egyptians spent hours in long, looping lines, waiting to cast ballots in the country's first elections since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak. The two days of voting felt like a success, particularly because in the days leading up to the vote, Egypt seemed on the verge of implosion. Street battles in Tahrir Square had claimed more than 40 lives, as police used brute force in an attempt to subdue protesters. There was talk of postponing the vote. But elections were held as scheduled, and, surprisingly, there was neither major violence nor reports of systematic fraud or irregularities.

Protesters plan to continue their activities, despite claims from the @placeholder that the officers' killer was inspired by the anti-police movement | New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has called on anti-police protesters to stand down until after the funeral for two slain Brooklyn officers, but his plea has fallen on deaf ears. Civil rights activists led by Reverend Al Sharpton were quick to dismiss de Blasio's request issued Monday and vowed to carry on protests stemming from the decisions of two separate grand juries not to indict police officers responsible for the killings of Michael Brown in Missouri and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York. . 'It's a time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things we will talk about in due time,’ de Blasio said in a speech to a charity with close ties to the New York Police Department.

Today's 8-14-year-old girls prefer the fierce determination and survivalist instincts of characters like @placeholder and Hermione Granger. | If stereotypes are to be believed, girls like their role models soft and gentle while boys value strength and determination.

Even now when he wanders around the lobby at Oregon's iconic Timberline Lodge, Kohnstamm, 47, sometimes flashes back to being a kid on a tricycle, winding his way around original furniture designed by Depression-era artisans.

From birth until college he divided his days between school in neighboring Portland and Timberline -- with its rustic stone masonry, massive wooden beams, paintings, wood marquetry, custom wrought iron accoutrements and linoleum murals.
