@placeholder officials have already started rallying on the doctor's behalf, urging the Pakistani government to overturn the sentence which is said to include hard labor and extensive fines. | By Mail Foreign Service PUBLISHED: 07:54 EST, 23 May 2012 | UPDATED: 10:31 EST, 24 May 2012 A leading Republican blamed President Obama and his administration for 'outing' the Pakistani doctor who helped locate Osama bin Laden and who has now been sent to prison for 33 years. Representative Peter King, the New York congressman who leads the House Homeland Security Committee, pointed to White House administrators for identifying Dr. Shakil Afridi to Pakistani authorities. 'They put him out there,' Mr King said in light of the doctor's prison sentence for treason by the Pakistani government.

Grameen's work cast a global spotlight on microcredit, a then-novel idea of making small loans to poor people who would not qualify for standard bank loans. For their efforts, Yunus and Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. He also was awarded the American Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Congressional Gold Medal. Last month, the central bank of Bangladesh -- the regulatory authority in the South Asian nation -- cited the 70-year-old's age in explaining his removal as managing director.

'StormWoopers,' James proclaims - he only doesn't say @placeholder because dad Sam hasn't told him to | There can't be many levels of excitement that can be greater than three-year-old James Blakeman's when he hears the opening strains of John Williams' famous Star Wars theme. Purist fans of George Lucas's films will be delighted little James' dad Sam Blakeman, 33, is introducing his son to the legendary science-fiction franchise starting with A New Hope, the original 1977 release. 'Was there any other option?' he says. But not as pleased as Wigan-based Sam is that his young man has such fine taste. 'What's this dad?' asks James as the movie begins. Asked what he thinks it is, James thinks for a moment before saying enthusiastically, 'Storm Woopers, and the people!'

"It will not lead to @placeholder being transferred to Sweden within the near future because of the political asylum. | A detention order against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on sexual assault allegations should remain in place, a Swedish judge ruled Wednesday. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more than two years in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning about allegations that he raped one woman and sexually molested another. Assange calls the charges false and politically motivated, but has said he fears that Sweden will transfer him to the United States -- where he could face the death penalty for the work of WikiLeaks -- if he were charged and convicted of a crime.

The legal battle will likely continue beyond @placeholder's third - and final - full term in office, which will come to a close in January of next year. | Texas Gov. Rick Perry invoked comedian Joan Rivers' death on Sunday while defending a law he signed that would close the majority of abortion facilities in the nation's second-most populous state. The Republican governor and likely 2016 presidential candidate suggested during a forum that Rivers' death could have been avoided if New York had a law like the one passed in Texas requiring clinics to abide by the same standards of care as hospitals. 'It was interesting that Joan Rivers and the procedure that she had done, where she died, that was a clinic,' Perry told attendees of the Texas Tribune's annual festival in Austin.

It has already sent people to help clear debris in @placeholder, where many of the injuries occurred. | (CNN) -- Sunday's outbreak of severe weather spawned more than 60 tornadoes and caused damage in several Midwestern states, including Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.

Nearly half of the active duty servicemembers surveyed said they believe both the Republican and @placeholder parties have become less supportive of military issues. | President Barack Obama has struggled with sagging approval ratings over the last year, but the commander-in-chief's numbers may have dropped further among active-duty troops. Just 15% of active-duty servicemembers gave Obama a thumbs up in the annual Military Times survey and more than half -- 55% -- say they disapprove of Obama's job as commander-in-chief. The President has struggled to gain the approval of troops throughout his time in office, but these numbers reflect a new low for Obama, who finished his first year in office with a 35% approval figure and only 4 in 10 disapproving, according to the Military Times survey. The Military Times survey is not scientific and relies on a voluntary response from the publication's readers. President Obama's approval rating in the general population is much higher, though still well below 50 percent. In the most recent CNN / ORC poll, he got the approval of 44% of Americans.

The Gaye family also claims that 'After the Dance' was improperly used for @placeholder's No. | The family of Marvin Gaye has won a round in a court battle over allegations that last year's blockbuster hit song 'Blurred Lines' ripped off the late Motown legend's work. A US federal judge denied a motion today by singer Robin Thicke and songwriter Pharrell Williams, who wanted a court to reject the plagiarism claims made by Gaye's children. A jury will decide their accusations that the 2012 hit song 'Blurred Lines' wrongly copied parts of their father's music in a celebrity trial set for February. U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt made the ruling after hearing views by experts for Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, and by Gaye's children, over 'Blurred Lines' and Gaye's 'Got to Give it Up'.

Syria is 2 1/2 years into a civil war that has already left more than 100,000 dead, according to the @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Russia's top diplomat Sunday accused the United States of "blackmailing" Moscow into backing tough ground rules for Syria's chemical disarmament that would include the threat of force if Syria balks. Syria has agreed to give up its arsenal of chemical weapons under international pressure and delivered an inventory of its poison gas stocks to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons over the weekend. But U.N. Security Council members are still trying to hammer out a resolution to outline the process, with Russia and Western powers at odds over the language. In a Sunday interview on Russian television, Lavrov said Washington was threatening to sink the deal unless the resolution was drawn up under Chapter VII of the U.N. charter, which would authorize the use of force against Syria if it doesn't comply. As Syria's leading ally, Russia has opposed threats of military action.
