As its deputy chief operating officer and head of international operations, Murdoch was the third most senior figure at @placeholder, wielding considerable influence through the stable of newspaper titles at his command. | London (CNN) -- Until last year, James Murdoch was widely regarded as heir-apparent to his father Rupert's global News Corp. media empire -- a remarkable turnaround for a college dropout once viewed as the family's black sheep. But that aspiration took a hit following revelations that -- while he was boss of News Corp. Europe and Asia -- the group's British Sunday tabloid the News of the World eavesdropped illegally on politicians, celebrities, army veterans and even a teenaged murder victim in search of stories. The scandal has exposed collusion between journalists, media groups, politicians and police, claiming the jobs of top police officers, newspaper executives and Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman, while dozens of people have been arrested.

A federal appeals court last month allowed a similar law from @placeholder on medical abortions to go into effect. | Oklahoma lost another round in its effort to restrict abortions when the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday declined to hear an appeal in a case that would force women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound first. The justices, without comment, refused to accept the state's appeal over HB 2780, which would require healthcare providers to perform an ultrasound scan before terminating a woman's pregnancy. Lower state courts found the law unconstitutional. Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said those judges did not give proper legal weight to previous high court rulings allowing some regulation and restriction on abortions. The new law mandated that pregnant women seeking an abortion be given the chance to view the ultrasound image and be given a medical description, including "the dimensions of the embryo or fetus, the presence of cardiac activity, if present and viewable, and the presence of external members and internal organs, if present and viewable."

To be clear, @placeholder 2687 does not restrict debate on food policy as it relates to public health and welfare. | (CNN) -- After learning what was going on across the nation in regulating food and drink, especially the edict by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg banning large sugary drinks, I could clearly see we needed a way to prevent government from placing additional regulation on small business owners in Mississippi. A judge has invalidated Bloomberg's ban on sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces, which is a good move. But as a state legislator, and a restaurant owner, I wanted to prevent our industry from being regulated out of business. Working with trade organizations, I came up with what's being called the "anti-Bloomberg" bill -- Senate Bill 2687. It simply says that the Mississippi legislature retains the authority to make decisions about the regulation of food.

The 21-year-old, who could eventually cost @placeholder $26m, is in contention to make his debut against newly-promoted Southampton on Sunday. | (CNN) -- Roberto Mancini has finally secured Manchester City's first signing of the offseason just days before his side's English Premier League title defense gets underway after completing a $19 million move for Everton's Jack Rodwell. The Italian has been growing frustrated with City's inability to land his top transfer targets after reportedly becoming angry at the lack of progress being made by sporting director Brian Marwood. After leading City to their first league title since 1968, Mancini is keen to bolster his squad with the prize of the European Champions League now a top priority. City spent close to $785m in transfers over the past four years but has been virtually inactive during recent months while their rivals continue to buy.

@placeholder deeply regrets these losses and continuously hones its operations to make them more surgical still. | (CNN) -- The displacement, injury, and death of civilians in war is always tragic, and the current fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is no exception. But unlike the vast majority of conflicts in history, Operation Protective Edge, as Israel calls it, is one in which images of civilian suffering play a central—and potentially decisive—role in the outcome. And the reason is simple: More than a military strategy, Hamas has a media strategy. Calculatingly, Hamas employs primitive military tactics to mount a sophisticated media campaign that can threaten Israel's basic security. And in conducting that offensive, Hamas can count on one of the world's most powerful weapons: the international media.

"Killing Lincoln" spends time portraying both men as it builds toward, as narrator Tom Hanks puts it, "the most resonant crime in the history of the nation," and then chronicles the extensive manhunt to bring Booth to justice. The show's auspices are quite impressive. In addition to Hanks, Killing Lincoln is produced by Ridley and Tony Scott (the latter having joined the production before his death last year) and is directed by Adrian Moat (Gettysburg).

@placeholder played on for 20 minutes after suffering the injury, which was only spotted when he returned to Leicester following the tour. | England and Leicester received mixed news on Tuesday as Tom Croft insisted it is ‘business as usual’ following a shoulder scare — only for club captain Ed Slater to be ruled out for the season. Croft pulled out of Saturday’s Aviva Premiership opener against Newcastle after experiencing pain as a result of a stinger he suffered in pre-season. Given Croft’s injury history — he sustained a career threatening neck injury two seasons ago and last year needed extensive surgery on torn knee ligaments — there were fears the England and Lions flanker could be facing another extended spell on the side-lines. But, speaking exclusively to Sportsmail, the 28-year-old revealed he is fit and ready to face Exeter at Sandy Park on Saturday.

farmers' club tent and the @placeholder, who is president of the Royal Bath | By Daily Mail Reporter When you go to an agricultural show it is highly likely that you will see some cattle.

Some Latina breast cancer survivors such as Rodriguez have found comfort and assistance from organizations geared toward @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Last summer, Jessica Rodriguez didn't want to go outside, or even open the door. She didn't want anyone to see she had lost her hair during breast cancer treatment. Rodriguez, 39, said she found strength from the support of her husband and children, and through an organization called Nueva Vida, a support network for Latinas with cancer based in Washington. At support meetings, she met other women who had lost their hair in cancer treatment and realized she was not alone. "They were going through the same," said Rodriguez, who moved to the United States from Peru 12 years ago and now lives in Germantown, Maryland. "I say: They're OK. It's only the hair. It's going to go grow back."

The apparent comeback in Iran's tourism industry could mean more late nights for @placeholder. | Tour bus driver Rasoul Mousavi has been seeing less and less of his wife this month. Mousavi says a sharp increase in tourists has kept him so busy that for four nights in a row he did something his wife doesn't like very much -- he showed up late for dinner. "My wife isn't very happy but during the past few years, I've rarely seen it this busy," Mousavi said. "Thank God it's getting better. We're getting more tourists." Mousavi's heavy workload comes amid a push by Iran's new president Hassan Rouhani to attract more foreign travelers to Iran, home to some of the world's oldest civilizations and historical sites that date back several thousand years.

Other celebrities who have a dramatically positive effect on sales are former Countdown brainbox Carol Vorderman, model @placeholder and former TOWIE girl Amy Childs. | By Martha De Lacey PUBLISHED: 08:18 EST, 24 January 2013 | UPDATED: 08:18 EST, 24 January 2013 In an unlikely sequence of events, TOWIE's Lauren Goodger has emerged as the celebrity with the wardrobe women most wish to emulate.

Since that first visit in 2003, however, @placeholder has witnessed a decline that has seen the city divided by concrete walls, blocks and checkpoints. | (CNN) -- Think of Baghdad and for most people what comes to mind is a city of damaged buildings and concrete checkpoints. This is what Caecilia Pieri expected the first time she visited the Iraqi capital just months after the American-led invasion in 2003. Baghdad has a history dating back to ancient Mesopotamia and was later one of Islam's great capitals. But Saddam Hussein's closed regime left the modern city unknown to the outside world. "I had no idea what to expect, but had heard that the modern city had nothing to offer," said Pieri. She was astonished to find a city that she fell in love with. And, surprisingly, what most enthralled her was Baghdad's 20th century architecture, including buildings commissioned by Saddam.

Tuesday night's last-gasp Champions League victory over Ludogorets saw @placeholder largely at fault for the visitor's late equaliser, which looked to have cost the hosts two points. | Simon Mignolet once again cost his side a goal as Liverpool laboured to a win over Ludogorets Razgrad on their Champions League return on Tuesday night. So is it time to trade in the Belgian for a better keeper? We asked Henry Jackson of authoritative Liverpool fansite This Is Anfield to assess whether Mignolet is worthy of the No 1 shirt. When Simon Mignolet joined Liverpool for £9m from Sunderland in the summer of 2013, he was seen as an excellent long-term signing by the club. It's not quite working out like that at the moment, however. The Belgium international is yet to convince during his short time at Anfield, and there is a definite argument that he is a major weak-link in Brendan Rodgers' exciting side.

McCulloch went on the offensive after Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon tried to deflect calls for the prosecutor's ouster by saying it was up to McCulloch to recuse himself. McCulloch's deep ties with local police and perceived favoritism of law enforcement in criminal cases have led to concerns about his ability to be impartial in the Brown case. Should he recuse?
