The United States is still negotiating with the @placeholder government about whether U.S. contractors will be granted any diplomatic protections under Iraqi law. | Baghdad (CNN) -- Three security contractors, two of them American veterans and one from Fiji, have been freed in Iraq almost three weeks after they were detained by the Iraqi Army, U.S. Rep. Peter King said Wednesday. The men, who were working for a security firm, were arrested by Iraqi Army forces in Mahmudiyah on December 9 but were not charged with any offense, said King, a New York Republican. "I am pleased that these three men have been released after having been detained," King said. "With the unfortunate and clearly deteriorating security situation in Iraq and with al Qaeda in Iraq still very active, these men were in increasing danger with each passing day."

Anthony's civil attorneys have argued that their client never identified the specific woman suing her as the "@placeholder," the name she gave police. | (CNN) -- A Florida judge ruled Thursday that a woman's defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony can go forward, contending that a jury should make the final decision on several contentious issues critical to the case. Zenaida Gonzalez has filed a civil suit against Casey Anthony, who was acquitted last year of murder and other charges tied to the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee though she was convicted on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement officers. Gonzalez alleges that Anthony defamed her and damaged her reputation when she claimed that a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez had taken Caylee, who was reported missing in July 2008 -- a month after she was last seen. The girl's remains were found in December of that year.

At least 12 people also were killed on the ground when the Tam Airlines plane rammed into a cargo terminal. Authorities opened the recently repaved runway at Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport even though it has not yet been entirely grooved to drain rainwater and prevent planes from slipping when they touch down. Landings will be restricted in wet weather until the surface is completely grooved, which could take weeks. In the meantime, flights arriving in heavy rains will touch down on the backup runway at Congonhas or be diverted to the city's Guarulhos International Airport.

Two of the China samples were marked as having been made in @placeholder or by a Chinese manufacturer. | (CNN) -- Strontium sulfide, a material that can emit corrosive gases in moist air, was found at trace levels in testing of Chinese-made drywall, the Florida Department of Health said. Gas emitted from defective drywall corrodes copper wiring, turning it black, some Florida homeowners say. The drywall samples gave off a sulfurous odor when heated, and in at least one case, sulfide gases corroded copper coils in an air conditioner of a Florida home containing Chinese drywall, said the department, which commissioned the study. But more testing is needed to determine whether strontium sulfide was causing the odor and contributing to the corrosion, the department said. And more tests are required to determine whether the drywall poses a threat to human health -- a process that probably will take at least several months, state toxicologist Dr. David Krause told reporters Monday.

the ruthless tactics used by rogue traders at Barclays to fiddle @placeholder. | By Becky Barrow PUBLISHED: 05:10 EST, 17 July 2012 | UPDATED: 17:22 EST, 17 July 2012 The Bank of England governor insisted yesterday that he knew nothing about the manipulation of crucial interest rates until just two weeks ago. During a grilling by MPs on the Treasury Select Committee, Sir Mervyn King said he was not aware of the ruthless rigging of rates – even though he was warned about it four years ago.

Well, that's not all the song is about.

The narrator sleeps in the bath, then torches the place in the morning.

"If North Korea truly wishes for peace in the @placeholder, not only should it stop its slander and threats of provocation, it should also show its sincerity in resolving nuclear issue," the ministry said. | Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea launched two short-range rockets off the east coast of the Korean peninsula on Wednesday, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry. The projectiles flew for about 180 kilometers (110 miles) before falling into the sea, officials said. North Korea has carried out a series of missile and rocket launches into the sea in recent months, drawing criticism from South Korea, the United States and the United Nations. The latest launch comes the day after South Korea dismissed a North Korean "special proposal" to improve ties and reduce military tensions. Seoul said the North's request was based on irrelevant and inaccurate claims.

The spotlight is now on @placeholder - billed as the Arsenal hero who will lead them to trophies | Who's next on the Arsenal conveyor belt of world-class superstar heroes? In the absence of major trophies, a forceful section of Gooners are taking it upon themselves to thrust forward a certain player as a world-class star who’s better than everyone else on the planet. The tell-tale signs of this condition are as follows: Gooners go on social media to over-praise a certain player, selectively use statistics which support their point, and avoid at all costs a degree of measured judgement. The Arsenal player should be compared favourably with all others, especially if they play for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea.

@placeholder yesterday continued to insist he had ‘no dealings whatsoever’ | Videoed: Former minister Tim Yeo was filmed appearing to boast that he had previously coached a paying client in private A Tory MP has complained about a government global-warming adviser’s undisclosed green interests – despite the fact he himself is paid a fortune by eco-energy and transport firms. Tim Yeo, chairman of the Energy and Climate Change select committee, has protested about Lord Deben remaining chairman of Veolia Water UK while also chairing the Committee on Climate Change, an independent body that advises the Government on the impact of climate change. Mr Yeo’s critics will argue his protest smacks of hypocrisy as he has been paid more than £400,000 by three green companies since 2009.

@placeholder's men in green show their elation as they take the lead against Greece | Northern Ireland's dreams of a first European Championship appearance are one step closer to reality after goals from Jamie Ward and Kyle Lafferty against Greece gave them a third successive Group F victory. That is the country's best ever start to any World Cup or European qualifying series and a table-topping nine points would surely have been beyond the most fanciful expectations of manager Michael O'Neill following a fifth-placed finish in his maiden campaign.
