recovering the two had to be kept separate so @placeholder wouldn't get an | By Ashley Collman PUBLISHED: 20:20 EST, 24 October 2013 | UPDATED: 00:58 EST, 25 October 2013 A lot of married couples talk about being 'saved' by each other, but newlyweds Kyle Froelich and Chelsea Clair mean it literally. If Kyle had never met Chelsea there's a good chance he wouldn't be alive today since she provided a much-needed kidney transplant when his had almost completely stopped working. The two were married this past October 12, four years after they first met and three years after that life-saving organ donation.

@placeholder can hardly miss from four yards as Arsenal almost immediately double their lead | Sam Allardyce swallowed a second defeat in three days but not without launching a furious attack on referee Neil Swarbrick's decision to rule out an early goal by Alex Song.

Song's fifth-minute volley was disallowed because Cheikhou Kouyate and Diafra Sakho were both offside as they leapt out of the way, one jumping to the side and the other allowing the ball through his legs. They were ruled to be interfering with Wojciech Szczesny's line of vision but the West Ham boss claimed this clashed with information given to managers at the start of the season by the referees' ruling body, the PGMOL.

Debris: A Palestinian woman sits among the debris of a building destroyed in @placeholder shelling in Johr al-Deek Gaza, as negotiators between the two sides tried to bring about the end of the month-long dispute | Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend a ceasefire by a a further 24 hours as negotiations over a long-term peace agreement continue. The announcement that the temporary truce would be extended came just moments as it was due to expire, averting a resumption of the fighting that has caused devastating damage across Gaza and disrupted life throughout southern Israel. Negotiations for an agreement that would allow the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip are currently taking place in Egypt as mediators look to resolve the month-long dispute in which more than 2,000 people have been killed.

Deployed soldiers from @placeholder were in a panic not knowing whether their families were safe. | (CNN) -- It was the kind of phone call military families dread receiving from Iraq and Afghanistan -- not from Texas. Peggy McCarty's daughter called Thursday afternoon to say she had been wounded by a gunshot in her left shoulder. Keara Bono, 21, assured her mother that she was OK, but McCarty's heart skipped. She knew she had much to fear when Bono, an Army specialist, arrived at Fort Hood to prepare for an early December deployment to Iraq. But McCarty never thought she would have to worry about her child getting wounded on American soil. "I thought I was more worried about her going over to Iraq than here, just doing training in Texas. She just got there yesterday," McCarty told CNN affiliate KSHB-TV in Kansas City, Missouri.

One need only look at the example of @placeholder to see why. | ISIS has Americans worried. Two-thirds of those surveyed in a recent Pew Research poll said they consider the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to be a "major threat" to this country. But are such fears really justified? Despite the impression you may have had from listening to U.S. officials in recent weeks, the answer is probably not really. For a start, U.S. officials have been inflating the numbers of Americans fighting for ISIS, which has muddied the issue for the public. U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, for example, told CNN's Jim Sciutto earlier this month, "We are aware of over 100 U.S. citizens who have U.S. passports who are fighting in the Middle East with ISIL forces." (ISIS is sometimes referred to as ISIL and now calls itself the Islamic State).

High-level @placeholder officials also showed up for the event after entering Gaza for the first time since being ousted by Hamas. | Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians gathered in Gaza in a show of support for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party on Friday, the 48th anniversary of the party's founding. Palestine Liberation Organization leaders say Fatah was officially founded in 1965 which coincided with its first major attack against Israel. It was an unusual scene in Gaza because it was the first mass rally showing open support for Fatah since 2007. That is the year Hamas seized control of Gaza from Fatah, which now controls only the West Bank. The number of people who showed up surprised many. Some participants slept in the Gaza City square after gathering there overnight and the crowds eventually grew so large by daytime that at least seven of the major streets around the rally were filled with people.

More bodies are on the way. Red Cross and hospital workers run to the front of the hospital in Pangkalan Bun, not even certain how many victims are coming. Sirens then announce the arrival of the remains of two innocent souls lost on AirAsia Flight QZ8501. Unfortunately, this little town in Indonesia's central Kalimantan Province has become the focal point for the recovery of bodies and debris from the airliner, which failed to complete its journey from Surabaya, the country's second-biggest city, to Singapore on Sunday. Orange body bags are loaded onto gurneys and rushed to a separate, private wing of the hospital. The unmistakeable smell of death lingers long after the victims have passed.

@placeholder supporters have always said they seek democratic reforms and civil rights, not violence. | Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Fearing for people's safety, Iranian opposition leaders canceled a demonstration planned for the anniversary of last year's disputed presidential election, according to a statement posted on Facebook Thursday. The protests were to have taken place Saturday. Iranians went to the polls a year ago on that day, and when word of fraud surfaced, so did public outrage. Widespread unrest gripped the Islamic republic as protesters clashed with police. But the hard-line government's crackdown on the opposition -- known as the Green Movement and led by former presidential candidates Mir Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karrubi -- has been, at times, brutal.

Markel, the father of two young boys, ages 3 and 5, is divorced from fellow @placeholder law professor Wendi Adelson. | By James Nye The prominent Harvard and Cambridge educated criminal law professor gunned down in his own home on Friday was shot point-blank in the side of the head, police said on Thursday. However, police would not confirm whether he was shot in the front of his head or the back, which if it was the later, would indicate it was an execution-style killing. Professor Dan Markel, 41, lost his life at his affluent Betton Hills home in Florida and Tallahassee police have confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry. This suggests to investigators that the Florida State University professor opened the door to his killer and almost certainly knew them.

Finally, we can see a serious @placeholder that can take initiative and help the Syrian people." | (CNN) -- Citing an escalation in violence, the Arab League called off its monitoring mission in Syria this weekend. The announcement came just days after the Syrian government agreed to a one-month extension of the mission. The sudden change in policy "surprised" the government, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency. It also signaled a new phase in the Arab League's handling of the crisis. In November, the Arab League voted to suspend Syria from its ranks. A couple of weeks later, it initiated sanctions against the country. One month later, monitors were sent in. The next step appears to be a U.N. Security Council resolution. The council is set to consider a draft resolution, presented by Arab League member Morocco, that calls on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down and transfer power.

The statement, carried by the state news agency Saba and attributed to a Foreign Ministry source, followed a statement of concern for Yemen's "national unity and territorial integrity" by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Tuesday. "We welcome what Mottaki affirmed about Iran's position towards Yemen's unity and stability, and Yemen reaffirms that it definitely rejects the interference in its internal affairs by any party," the statement said. It said Yemen's battle with the Houthi, a Shiite Muslim rebel movement, is "an internal Yemeni affair, and Yemen can solve its issues without any interference from others."

"My father became a prop in someone else's narrative," @placeholder wrote, "An attractive prop -- the alien figure with the heart of gold, the mysterious stranger who saves the town and wins the girl -- but a prop nonetheless." | Washington (CNN) -- Mitt Romney worshiped his father. Barack Obama barely knew his. In the nature-versus-nurture debate, psychologists say fathers play an important role in the men their sons become. And the two presidential candidates' relationships with their fathers offer insight into the men they are today. "It's called the cloth of individuality," said Dr. Ditta M. Oliker, a clinical psychologist whose research has focused on the lasting effects of childhood in adulthood. Rather than an either/or, she said, psychologists now recognize the cloth that results from the interweaving of a person's DNA and experience dictates both personality and character.
