"Marry the Night" -- It begins big, with Gaga belting "I'm gonna marry the night/I won't give up on my life" over tolling, church-like synths. And it just gets bigger. And bigger. And bigger still.

This more political approach will be evident in @placeholder’s conference speech on Wednesday. | By James Forsyth The morning after Ed Miliband’s conference speech, David Cameron and his speechwriting team gathered at Chequers. The Prime Minister was in bullish mood. Unlike several of his Cabinet colleagues, he wasn’t overly concerned by Miliband’s raid on ‘One Nation’ Tory territory. He joked: ‘It’s impressive to give a speech for 70 minutes without notes; it’s even more impressive to give a speech for 70 minutes without notes and not say anything.’ Cameron’s crack is typical of his new attitude. The Prime Minister has finally heeded the pleas of many of his closest allies and made himself and his Downing Street operation more political.

Which brings us back to the word @placeholder used over and over on that phone call: "gift." | (CNN) -- It took until the presidential campaign was over, but Mitt Romney finally figured out the sinister plan Barack Obama executed to win re-election.

OK, that wasn't exactly how he put it. But in a conference call with his major donors after the campaign ended, Romney attributed his loss to the fact that Obama gave "gifts" to various groups to win their loyalty.

Chief Bill Lee had only been police chief in Sanford, Florida, for about a year, taking the position in April 2011 after nearly three decades as a deputy in the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.

Governments such as @placeholder's are concerned about maintaining control over fossil and cultural relics while scientists worry about such items disappearing into private collections. | (CNN) -- It's no bloody, foot-stomping battle to the death, but a legal fight befitting a mighty dinosaur is playing out on two continents as Mongolia's president tries to block the sale of a nearly complete skeleton of a 24-foot-long dinosaur that roamed Central Asia 80 million years ago. Despite a Texas judge's order barring the sale at the behest of Mongolian President Elbegdorj Tsakhia, a Dallas-based auction house on Sunday unloaded the rare skeleton of a Tarbosaurus bataar -- also known as Tyrannosaurus bataar -- to an undisclosed buyer for $1,052,500 at an auction in New York. An attorney for Mongolia tried to stop the sale, standing up and waving a cell phone with the Texas judge waiting on the other side, but auction officials declined to stop the sale and escorted the lawyer outside.

Ourakova says that @placeholder, the main exporter of steel to Iran, has been exploring ways to get round the financing problems. | (CNN) -- Russian steel, Ukrainian maize, tea from India, palm oil from Malaysia -- myriad products are shipped through the Gulf emirates. Iran wants and needs them all. But in the last few months, the growing web of U.S. and European sanctions has begun to paralyze its ability to import and export key products. Multiple banking, shipping and trade sources tell CNN that Iran is struggling to import staples and export crude oil as its access to the global financial system is curbed. As a result, inflation is rising and shortages of basic products are growing. Take Iran's huge appetite for steel. Normally, it imports about 300,000 tons of steel products a month from Russia alone, mainly for infrastructure and construction. "Now it's zero. It really is that bad," said Katya Ourakova, who follows the Russian steel industry for Platts Steel Business Briefing.

@placeholder's predecessor also sent a letter reminding SEALs to keep the confidence of the mission. | The head of Naval Warfare Special Command had warned Navy SEALs against betraying their promise to maintain secrecy just days ahead of a SEAL's "60 Minutes" interview defending his publication of details from the Osama bin Laden mission. The open letter specifies that the warning holds even after a mission is over, and it scolds those seeking public credit. The admonition is seemingly directed both at Matt Bissonnette -- who revealed his role on the 2011 bin Laden mission with "60 Minutes" on Sunday -- and at a SEAL at the center of an upcoming Fox News documentary.

Authorities have speculated Ebel might have killed @placeholder for his uniform so he could use it as a disguise in the killing of Clements, who was gunned down after he opened his front door. | (CNN) -- It took five days for Colorado authorities to realize a parolee disabled his ankle monitor and fled, beginning what investigators would later say was a deadly crime spree that ended in a shootout in Texas, according to records released Tuesday. The documents released by the Colorado Department of Corrections detail how 28-year-old Evan Ebel managed to elude authorities in the days leading up to the killings of prisons chief Tom Clements and part-time pizza deliveryman Nathan Leon. The state Department of Corrections did not respond to repeated requests from CNN for comment. The release of the documents follows news this week that a clerical error resulted in Ebel's release four years early from prison. That revelation prompted an apology from the district court where the mistake was made.
