"This gets done, but does not get done with a majority of @placeholder votes," the aide said. | Washington (CNN) -- House Democrats vented their frustrations with President Barack Obama's tax proposal at a closed-door meeting Tuesday night, with rank-and-file members slamming the White House for leaving House Democrats out of final negotiations, and agreeing too quickly to a GOP proposal on the estate tax. According to several Democratic members and aides, much of the discussion centered on the addition of the estate tax exemption to the package extending all the Bush-era tax cuts for two years. Democrats are fuming that the administration agreed to exempt inheritances up to $5 million and to set the tax rate at 35%. The estate tax is scheduled to be reinstated at a higher rate of 55% next year, with the exemption up to $1 million. A bill passed the House a year ago that set the threshold for the exemption at $3.5 million and the tax rate at 45%.

"Free Nelson Mandela" was a Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom for The Special AKA in 1984, and it instantly became the unofficial anthem and slogan for the international anti-apartheid movement. The song's eponymous subject rose to prominence in the 1950s as a radical young member of the African National Congress, the main opposition movement to the segregationist South African government. As an advocate of guerrilla attacks, Mandela, who has died aged 95, was frequently arrested and eventually convicted in 1964, along with other ANC leaders, for sabotage. He received a life prison sentence, and spent 27 years in a cell, mostly on Robben Island, off the South African coast.

A new virus is difficult to detect by tests because it is not closely related to the other three HIV variants. The three previous HIV variants came from chimpanzees. The new findings indicate that gorillas, in addition to chimpanzees, are likely sources of HIV, the researchers concluded in a report published in the weekly Nature Medicine journal. The new virus, called RBF 168, was detected in a 62-year-old woman who moved to Paris, France, from the western Africa nation of Cameroon, the report says. She tested positive for HIV in 2004, and researchers led by Jean-Christophe Plantier identified the virus as being closely related to a recently discovered simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).

"I kind of wanted to audition for '@placeholder' when it was first being done but I think I was a year too old." | (CNN) -- "Game of Thrones," the wonderfully bloody and lustful series, is back for a second season starting April 1 on HBO. Kit Harington plays Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of Ned who is also known by the moniker, "the bastard." Before he had even graduated from drama school, the Worcestershire native won the lead role in the West End production of "War Horse." Calling from London, the 25 year old actor is unfailingly polite, apologizing profusely for having missed a scheduled time to chat. Harington also admits (jokingly) that he can't really consider himself an English actor because he never appeared in the "Harry Potter" series.

With the players we have with @placeholder, obviously it is going to be difficult playing at No. | Stewart Downing will return to West Ham more determined than ever to maintain the form which earned a surprise England recall. Downing is not deterred by Roy Hodgson's decision to take him off at half-time in the 3-1 win in Scotland after 45 minutes when he worked hard but struggled to get on the ball or impose his creative quality. He knows there will be critics who are quick to write off his chances of adding to his 35 caps but he has four months to persuade Hodgson with his performances for West Ham before the next England squad is selected for games against Lithuania and Italy.

As an example of the harm supposedly done by such courses, he brought up one lesson that taught students that the historic treatment of @placeholder was "marked by the use of force, fraud and exploitation." | San Diego (CNN) -- Who's afraid of a harmless course in Mexican-American studies? Arizonans. That's who. It figures. In the immigration debate, the state that has demonstrated that it is terrified of changing demographics and determined to run off Latinos seems afraid of its own cultural footprint. We're talking about courses in Mexican-American history being taught to high school students of all colors and backgrounds in the Tucson Unified School District. Concerned that teachers are presenting material in a biased and inflammatory manner, a posse of elected officials, education bureaucrats and school board trustees -- made up of Democrats and Republicans -- are trying to shut down the district's Mexican-American studies program.

Her name is Nway, and that's how she looked when aid workers found her after Nargis destroyed her isolated village. She refused to talk about the cyclone, pretending it never took place.
