But the broader terms -- Latino, @placeholder -- are the ones tossed about when the media want to discuss a "trend among Latinos," or when a politician appeals to the "Hispanic vote." | (CNN) -- Hispanics are described as the largest minority group in the United States, as a burgeoning force in the electorate and as an untapped frontier of the business market. Yet these descriptions belie the complexity of the 44 million people to whom they refer. Susana Clar, with daughters Vanessa (left) and Virna (center), says the labels "Hispanic" and "Latino" are limiting. Even the terms used to name them -- Hispanics, Hispanic-Americans, Latinos, Latino-Americans, the Spanish-surnamed -- too tightly package the people categorized by those definitions, some observers say.

Hotels in the Black Sea coastal city of Varna say police have been asking for video showing a particular suspect and are giving a sketch of the suspect to management.

The thorny political and legal problems the president faces were on display over the weekend as some lawmakers returned to @placeholder early to receive intelligence briefings and to prepare to vote on the authorization. | Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama's decision to seek congressional authorization of a military attack against the Syrian government is in part his way of trying to fix a legal problem.

The United Nations charter generally doesn't allow nations to attack other nations unless the attack is in self-defense or has the approval of the U.N.

Passengers' bags sometimes made it to @placeholder before they did, leading to a pileup of luggage. | (CNN) -- In the hubbub at San Francisco's airport following the crash of Asiana Flight 214, a United airlines employee and his fiancee allegedly stole luggage and exchanged some of its contents at a nearby Nordstrom for cash, a prosecutor said Tuesday. The two suspects -- Sean Crudup, a United customer service representative, and Raychas Thomas, his fiancee -- were arrested as the latter was catching a flight to Hawaii, the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office said in a news release. Both are free on bail. The incident happened in the aftermath of the July 6 crash-landing of Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport. Two people died right after the Boeing 777 shed parts, spun and burst into flames and another died six days later; about 180 others were hurt.

@placeholder has made clear he would not recognize the court's authority. | (CNN) -- Libya's rebel leader says he does not have a problem with Moammar Gadhafi remaining in the country, once he resigns and as long as he remains under supervision, according to a television report. Mustafa Abdel Jalil contradicted earlier opposition statements that Gadhafi's exit from the country was an absolute prerequisite to bring about the end of the months-long conflict. It signaled a possible willingness to negotiate with the Libyan leader to bring about an end to the fighting. In a Reuters Television report Sunday, Jalil made the comments while reacting to a proposal put forward by the African Union, which rebels have interpreted to mean Gadhafi should have no further role in the country's leadership.

After the eight minutes then take your seat and support the team fully for the remaining 82 minutes, a number synonymous with @placeholder’s finest hour. | Aston Villa fans are proposing a large-scale protest in the Holte End for the visit of Liverpool to mark their frustration at the club’s direction.

Road block: Snow from an avalanche engulfs @placeholder's Richardson Highway | By Daily Mail Reporter Residents trapped in a remote Alaskan town after two avalanches blocked the only route in on Friday could remain trapped for four more days as road crews struggle to clear the snow. Banks of snow about 40ft high were dumped on Richardson Highway, which runs parallel to the trans-Alaska pipeline, on Friday. The weight of snow damned the Lowe River, creating a half-mile long lake filled with 500 million gallons of icy water. Concerns that the unstable dam could breach its banks if snow is cleared too quickly has delayed efforts to reopen the vital route into Valdez, a town of 4,100 people.

Spending time with this large contingent of old-fashioned, down-to-earth folks can be a great way to get a true sense of @placeholder's story. | (Tribune Media Services) -- I remember a bleak time in Poland when the economy was so maddeningly out of touch with the needs of its people that anyone lucky enough to own a car would remove their windshield wipers at night and take them inside. In their command economy -- oblivious to the laws of supply and demand -- some official forgot to order wipers and consequently, they weren't for sale anywhere. Inspired by a hungry black market, thieves would work late into the night snapping them up. Krakow's main square is pleasant day or night. Many Americans remember Poland as bleak and rundown -- full of rusting factories and smoggy cities. I remember a time when the air was so polluted it turned my hanky black the day I entered the country. Glum locals used to stand patiently in line at a soda stand to sip a drink from the same tin cup tethered to the stand by a rusty chain.

In August 2009, 18-year-old runner Caster Semenya from South Africa won the gold medal in the 800-meter event of the World Track and Field Championships, beating her nearest rival by an astonishing two seconds. Afterward, she faced weeks of humiliating psychological, gynecological and physical testing to prove that she was female ordered by International Association of Athletics Federations.

@placeholder wouldn't comment on the report, but did say there isn't much he wouldn't do for a role. | (EW.com) -- We haven't seen much of the new movie "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman," which premieres at Sundance this week — not even the trailer is out. But we do know that it takes place in Romania and tells the story of a young man (Charlie Countryman, played by Shia LaBeouf), who falls for a Romanian girl (played by Evan Rachel Wood). The girl, however, is already spoken for by a vicious Romanian mob boss, hence the title's prophecy. Wood compares the film to 1993 Quentin Tarantino-penned romantic crime thriller "True Romance." "It has a vibe of True Romance. It's a passionate, tender love story surrounded by chaos, violence, and crime," she says. And, like "True Romance," it also has moments of humor. Wood said Rupert Grint's part in the film helps the actor shed his "Harry Potter" stigma and added a lightness to the dark movie. "Rupert Grint is amazing in this film. It was such a brilliant idea to cast him. It's hilarious."
