Tearful: Neymar sent an emotional message to the @placeholder public after his injury | By Ian Ladyman Brazil are in danger of ruining the narrative of their own World Cup. This has been a joyful three-and-a-half weeks in South America and Brazil’s place in their own final would not do a romantic plot-line any harm. Nevertheless, the host nation’s reaction to the loss of their best player last Friday has begun to take a little of the shine from their presence in the last four.

@placeholder apparently did not know who he was messing with. | A successful researcher and science writer was asked to contribute to an obscure blog, but when she turned down the offer she was accused of being a 'whore.' Dr. Danielle Lee, a post-doctoral fellow in zoology at Oklahoma State University, was asked via email on Friday to write a science blog for biology-online.com by an editor who went only by 'Ofek.' Dr. Lee, who already blogs for the well-known site Scientific American, turned down the unpaid offer from a site she'd never heard of and was subsequently asked 'Are you an urban scientist or an urban whore?'

television coverage as he touted a bogus CV around bars in @placeholder | By Graham Smith and Peter Allen PUBLISHED: 03:13 EST, 2 October 2012 | UPDATED: 11:40 EST, 2 October 2012 A detailed picture of how a teacher and schoolgirl lived while on the run in France has today emerged as he appeared at an extradition hearing. Jeremy Forrest, 30, appeared before magistrates in Bordeaux, four days after he was arrested on suspicion of child abduction. He will return to Britain after the French court agreed to his extradition. The married maths teacher from Ringmer, East Sussex, travelled to France with pupil Megan Stammers, 15, on September 20. The pair checked into one Bordeaux hotel for a night and then spent six nights in another, where they subsisted almost entirely on a diet of takeaway kebabs.

Byden said @placeholder fighter jets were immediately deployed to identify the aircraft and later determined it was a Russian intelligence plane. | A Russian military intelligence plane nearly collided with a commercial passenger jet south of Sweden on Friday, the Swedish air force chief said Sunday. The incident in international airspace forced the passenger flight en route from Denmark to Sweden to change course, Maj. Gen. Micael Byden said. But the Russian Defense Ministry refuted the notion that one of its warplanes nearly collided with a passenger jet. And a spokesman for Scandinavian Airlines said reports of danger to the plane or passengers were "blown out of proportion." Knut Morten Johansen said the flight wasn't forced to change course, but that the pilot took normal advice from air traffic control.

"Instead of saying, 'Let's get a system that can handle the traffic,' @placeholder wants to lessen the demand. | (CNN) -- Percy von Lipinski figures he flies about 100,000 miles a year. He knows he's going to see a healthy share of flight delays regardless of where he goes. A new study says delays will continue to frustrate fliers like this man at Washington's Dulles International Airport. But he especially anticipates them at the larger airports, such as Chicago's O'Hare International -- "You can't possibly put that many planes there and not have a delay," he said -- and New York's John F. Kennedy International. So when he has a choice between two connecting cities, he said he'll generally choose the smaller one.

But @placeholder has been the subject of several inquiries since; and this year was told it "must not broadcast material that demeans or is likely to demean women or girls" as a condition of keeping its license. | (CNN) -- The apparent suicide of Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who inadvertently put through a prank call to the hospital ward where the Duchess of Cambridge was staying, has provoked outrage, sadness and demands for retribution in all corners of the media. The tragedy has revived memories of previous practical jokes that have gone horribly wrong, but also stirred an already febrile debate on ethical boundaries, whether in the mainstream or social media, and what, if any, legal recourse should be available to people humiliated or taunted in public. Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, was found dead Friday -- three days after Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian of 2DayFM placed a call to the King Edward VII hospital in the UK, where the duchess was being treated for morning sickness. They pretended to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.

@placeholder's ability to keep his private side private meant AEG executives could not see any red flags warning of Jackson's destruction, Putnam said. | Los Angeles (CNN) -- Michael Jackson traveled with what amounted to a mini-clinic and an anesthesiologist who used a surgical anesthetic to put the singer to sleep after shows during his "HIStory" tour, sources close to Jackson told CNN just days after his death.

Many @placeholder, equally frustrated with their tea party counterparts, might echo similar themes so as to not be outdone by their competitors. | (CNN) -- It is rare when politicians decide to make government reform the centerpiece of their campaigns. Although Americans always complain about government, polls show that most voters care most about "bread and butter" issues when they make decisions about who their leaders should be. 2014 might be different. The partial government shutdown is just one more example in an ongoing series of political meltdowns that has left the country extraordinarily frustrated with Washington, and with Republicans in particular. On the second day of the shutdown, polls showed that congressional approval ratings had fallen to an abysmal 10%. As a result of what has taken place in the past few years, there is a genuine opportunity for a marriage between partisan interests and government reform in the 2014 midterm elections. Democrats will have an opportunity to develop a successful campaign around government reform, returning to issues that President Barack Obama campaigned on in 2008 but has generally neglected ever since.

Once a lively forum for public debate that for a time wrong-footed Chinese censors, users are ditching @placeholder as tightened government oversight takes its toll. | Shanghai (CNN) -- The exchange of name cards has long been a ubiquitous part of meeting new people in China. But now it's increasingly likely to be accompanied by the frenzied flourishing of smartphones, as the participants add one another on WeChat, the phenomenally popular instant-messaging app made by the country's biggest Internet company, Tencent. While name cards have yet to be completely supplanted, many now also have a QR code which, when scanned into a mobile phone, adds the card's bearer as a WeChat contact. The popular function is one reason behind the rise of WeChat -- called Weixin in Chinese -- which is unseating the Twitter-like microblogging platform Sina Weibo as China's dominant social media.
